Negroes Again Register in Carolina

ATLANTA, Ga The unrest that
has been felt in South Carolina at
the prospect of the Negro vote once
more becoming political factor in
that State was emphasized at the
registration Office in Charleston not
long ago. The registrar had more
difficulty in completing registration
than he had experienced for long
while. 1t is felt that this was due
in some measure TO the number of
Negroes in line. AS matter Of fact
the number Of Negroes who regis
tered was not large perhaps 20 out
of $50 In Charleston. however, it
is regarded as remarkable that any
Negroes should be in line. What
ever the reason. TO the Charleston
News and Courier il ought to be
more or less illuminating to those
who are under the mistaken idea
that the Negro has permanently
laid aside political ambition. He
hopes the solidarity of the whites
will be terminated some dav, with
the possibility that in every election
he may hold the balance Of power "
Nothing will be more remarks bic
than that Negroes should do just
that thing through educational aud
property tests. They are making
greater progress each year

YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS

We add few more names to our
yearly in advance subscribers this week
and We are pleased to do so. They are
needed in our business to help the
cause along aud we welcome the N, and
return thanks for the following:
MRS. F. AUSTIN.
For this one We should have made
an acknowledgment before this, Mrs.
Austin has favored US several times
and we look upon her as good friend
to the paper. She is a member OF
Bethel church, and useful worker in
t he same and as president OF the church
aid society has pro!ed helpful in many
ways. She is employed by the Metro
politan insurance company as a caterer.
serving lunch daily for its large number
Of clerks and officials, and she has made
decided success OF the same. and
through her enterprise she has made
openings for half dozen people. Surely
this is doing good, and we congratulate
her, and also upon her being enrolled
among our yearles,
EARL LEANER.
This young man came 10 orr assist
ance this week by paying $3.50 for a
years subscription, He is employed as
an operator at the Union Square build
ing, who're be has record to his credit
of several years, and where, through
strict attention to business and most
gentlemsnly conduct. he has made for
himself number Ut friends. And We
want TO say further that he has not
only favored Us before with his yearly
subscription, but he has also given US
his patronage in the line OF advertising
and assisted the paper with lis support
in Dany ways. For all of this We take
pleasure in recording our thanks, with
the hope that the incoming year will
bring blessings id rewards.
CHRIS 1ULl,.
This Is another name that has been
on our honor roll list for several times
and We are again pleased to have it
among our renewals. Had We number
like him which We could count upon as
regularly. our peace of mind would be
more dependable, and results would be
better. A hard-working, industrious
citizen, Mr.. Tull never complains about
the payment Of his subscription, but
rather seems to take special delight in
handing over his $3.50 TO us, fee ing
that he has done coed deed thereby,
and the came sentiments are shared by
US. Also. he has done US q good turn
by saying good wcrd for the paper
and We are indebted to him for his
interest, and take pleasure in returning
our thanks.

FOR THEY SNAIL SEE GOD
In MemOriam DR.. Booker r. Washington
Died November IS. 1915

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst
And you who knew this not at first
Did hunger after righteousness.
Holding no dream of one to bless
Poor and naked. a widows son;
Despised, unfit life's race TO run.
Blessed are they who mourn You wept
For the world az you slowly crept
From a howell and faced the night
Barefoot leader OF men to light.
God laughs when man makes up creed
To stop the growth OF VISIONS seed.
Social convention, social scorn,
Fails when He says man Is bo'n.
Blind, you were by the spirit led:
Hungry, you were bv the spirit fed.
Only by faith could purpose hold
Only in dreams were gates Of gold.
The meek hall inherit. you heard.
Deep IN your heart you hid the word.
And worked with faith sublime; un-
spoiled
By praise or blame. you upward toiled.
Hate nor lear ever dimmed your face
You, like Moses, must lead race.
From shackles worse than iron bands
Must free their hearts. their minds
their hands.
Because yon dared your dreams TO hold
The world now writes your name i'm gold
Blest are the pure in heart. You've trod
With golden sheaves to meet your God

The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1916-02-17

: The railroad heads of the nation
are keenly interested in a plan for a
mobile heavy artillery system which
is now being considered by the War
Department and the committees on
military affairs in the House and Sen.
ate. The proposed scheme which
would be used mainly for the protec-
ton OF our coasts but which, in case
of an emergency, would also be of
great advantage in our interior, calls
for the cooperation of the railroads
in the nations campaign for prepar-
edness and defense.
Before submitting their plans to the
government, the inventors of the
heavy mobile artillery system-Law-
renee w. Luellen and Cecil F. Dawson,
both OF New York-wrote to the pres
idents of the more important roads in
an attempt to learn the practicabiIity
of the plan and what steps the rail-
roads were willing to take in putting
it into operation. The results showed
that ethe plan was not only feasible,
but that the railroads, were anxiousIy
awaiting the opportunity to lend their
support to the government in this pro-
posaIt for the nations defense.
Among the first to respond to the
query of the inventors was Howard
Elliott, chairman OF the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co.,
who among other things said: your
plan and specifications for heavy mo-
bile armament that may be used for
coast defenses, is most interesting.
Should the War Department of the
United States desire to take it up, we
would cooperate with them, in MAX
ing a suitable investigation of the
whole matter for moving the arma-
ment proposed
Vice President George D. Dixon, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, to whom
the matter was referred because of his
dealings with the traffic handled by
his company, wrote: ct am quite sure
that if the government desires to take
up your plan for a heavy mobile ar
rnament for use on railroads, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. will CO.
operate with them as far as possible

N. E. Tobacco Growers
Hear Gov. Holcomh

Hartford, Conn, Feb, 17.-President
H. A. Middleton, of Broad Brook, pre-
sided at the annual meeting of the
New England Tobacco Growers asso-
citation here yesterday at which about
400 members were present.
Mayor J. H. LawIer and Gov. NJ. H.
Holconb were present and made ad-
dresses.
DR.. E. H. Jenkins Of the Connecticut
Agricultural Experiment Station and
w. P. Brooks of the Massachusetts
Agricultural Experiment Station and
w. A. Cook of the Hartford County
League also addressed the gathering.
4 Governor Holcomb. said he had made
special efforts to be present at the
meeting. He referred to the meeting
of the agricultural interests of New
England in Springfield this week
which he had attended, and the eff
forts that would be made to interest
all New England in dairying and 9TH
er farm pursuits to a greater extent.
He said that the New England states
were not doing what they should along
those lines. The tobacco industry, the
governor said, was very hopeful and
many men of brains were behind it.
He gave statistics of the growth of
the tobacco industry since it became
of note in Connecticut.
Treasurer H. w. Chase of Tarifvil1e
reported receipts Of $894.22 and ex-
penditures of $312. 90.
