A. L Wooddell lately purchased
q sawmill which he has moved to
the lot in the rear of the tannery.
This is quite convenience to the
people of this neighborhood. 1t is

with a sawmill so convenient that
the men will have enough public
spirit to have plank walk made.
The present semblance of walk is
a disgrace to the town. Who will
start the ball rolling?

elected delegate at large to the nation

and of recognized ability. He has been
in active public life for quite twenty
five years.
He is printer by trade and worked

Of years. He is writer of no mean

His election "a delegate at large is
compliment to the Republicans OF both

are always glad OF an opportunity to
show him in what esteem he is held
by his fellow citizens.
The Forthcoming national Republican
convention will have fewer Negro dele
gates this year than any previous ma
tional convention, and it is extremely
fortunate that the states sending Ne
gro delegates are selecting men of the
mental caliber and political experience
Of Phil IL. Brown. The Lily Whites

reducing the representation from the
south, where the bulk of the Repub-

loyal. has its habitat.

Sad Expsrisnos Of Dorothy L. ~.
Armstrons at Yonksrs, N. Y.
Dorothy L. Ii. Armstrong, aged twen-
ty-one, colored, sought shelter at the
Young Women's Christian association
In Yonkers, n. Y, recently. She had
no money and wanted to pawn a watch
to enable her. with the proceeds, tc
go to her sisters home in Virginia. She
WAS turned over to a police officer, who
took her 10 the White Rose cottage, 8
School street.. Later she went away
from there. and the police were asked
TO take care Of her If found, says the
Yonkers Statesman.
The above situation seems very
strange. The Young Women's Chris
tian association of Yonkers recently
celebrated its fiftieth anniversary and
kept open house for week or ten
days. One of the features of the jol-
.lification was night devoted to the
colored women Of the city who belong
to the association. They gave a mu-
sical and literary program, and the
white ladies looked on as spectators
and sometimes applauded particu
larly interesting number.
But why should this white Women's
Christian association treat this colored
girl 30 un-Christianlike and turn her
over to the police: Are there mo
rooms in the inn" for colored WON en-
What a travesty on the name Chris
tian! Would the Christ have turned
away this stranger seeking shelter.
hospitality and a word of comfort and
encouragement? What must have been
the feelings Of this dark hued sister as
she reflected on the heartless and frig
id reception accorded her by these
Christian white ladies. God save the
mark.
