A TOWN OF NEGROES ALONE.

Birmingham, Ala, May 17.-After
several years struggle against heavy
odds, including local unsympathetic
sentiment and gloomy predictions of
failure by white people Of neighbor-
ing towns, Hobson City, the only mu-
nicipality in the United States, with
one exception, which is wholly POP
ulated and conducted by Negroes, has
won its battle by demonstrating that
it is a pronounced success.
When the plan to found an exclu-
sively Negro town in the South was
proposed scarcely any white people in
the Admission district, where it is To-
But the Negroes were not discouraged
and went ahead. Now Hobson City
is firmly established as a progressive
town and governs itself successfully
both in a financial way and in law
enforcement and observance.
Back in 1900 tins exclusively Negro
town was started by a band of Ne
groes who obtained a charter and in.
corporated. The population shows a
gain of $50 per cent. No man with
out employment is allowed TO stay in
the town. Either a job is found for
him or he is required to nov away.
The town has four churches with a
combined membership of 700, a good
public school with $50 pupils, a dozen
progressive stores, waterworks, cleo.
trio lights, police and sanitary de.
partments, a well built Jail, and a
governing board elected every two
years. 1t is the only town in the
state that is out of debt and has
money in the treasury. More than
half the citizens WI their own
homes. Some of its residents produce
within a stones throw of the towr
limits from $500 to $500 worth Of
cotton and other farm products, be
sides large quantities of vegetables
and fruits.
Hobson City's governing board con
sists of seven Councilmen, a Mayor
and four other municipal officers, in
Guiding a chief of police. Every resi-
dent of the town is a Negro.

TEN REASONS WHY THE N. N. 3.
LEAGUE SHOULD BE
WELCOMED.
By. Mrs. Ida NJ. Becks.

By. Mrs. Ida NJ. Becks.
No. 5.
We hope the good people of Kansas
City will consider the fact that the
National Negro Business League is
composed of men. and women Of ex-
perience. This practical experience
will mea more to our boys and girls
who anticipate going in business than
years of training in schools. We do
not wish to discourage the literary
training; it is essential without it
you'd business is hampered but an eff
fort or plan that is demonstrated or
illustrated fixed itself in the mind of
one in a way that the onlooker may
proceed at once to do the work. If
Mr.. A. loses 800 in a bad investment
and knows his neighbor Mr.. B. con
templates making the same invest
ment; if Mr.. A. warns Mr.. B. of the
danger Mr.. B. should profit by the
mistake of Mr.. A. There are price
less lessons in store for the business
aspirant of Kansas City in the coming
of the N. N. B. League. Let us look
forward to her coming with joy.

THINKS NITRATE
PLANT CAN Be NEAR

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 3.-That the
government plant for the manufacture
of nitrate, for which congress appro-
priated $20,0O0,000 should be built in
the South, and should logically be To-
Gated on the Chattahoochee river, was
the opinion expressed in Atlanta yes
terday by Congressman w. c. Adam
son. of Carrollton, Ga, author of the
famous eight-hour law passed by con-
gress to avert the threatened nation
wide railroad strike. 1t is Congress-
man Adamson's belief that if all the
communities of Georgia will get to-
gether and advocate the location of the
plant in this state, without regard to
any particular site, the advantages of
the Chattahoochee river will win out
with the government engineers.
