their recent fight against the produc-
ton in Chester of the film play called
"The Birth of Nation" Mayor Nc
Dowell issued the order forbidding the
production Of the play on the ground
that 1t might cause trouble. There are
about 10000 cOlored people in Chester
and the leaders among them stuck to
their contention that the play is base
reflection upon the character. thrift
and intelligence of the race. and be-

standpoint.

ing that the play will create disorder.

BELIEVES IN EQUAL CHANCE.
Determination Against colored Chauf.
feurs Called Rank Injustice.

Discrimination Against colored Chauf.
feurs Called Rank Injustice.
A patron of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
expresses the following liberal and ia.
vorable sentiment for the colored
chauffeur in a recent letter to the
Eagle:
In reading the communication in
your paper today was attracted by
the one signed 81. ]. W." on "The
Colored Chauffeur"
I am greatly interested in the prog
ress and welfare Of the Negro. Last
winter got into conversation with one
of them, and in the course of our talk
he informed me Of just what your cor
respondent IL. J. w." had written
the discrimination practiced against
Negroes at suburban hotels.
It was his opinion that the chief
source of this opposition came from
white chauffeurs, who did what they
could to prejudice the proprietors Of
country inns against Negro drivers.
He said that it was the belief of large
numbers Of white chauffeurs that the
Negro chauffeur worked cheaper than
they and, besides, was compelled to do
chores around. the house.
So It appears to me that the desire
to eliminate the Negro as a chauffeur
springs from an economic reason.
Nevertheless I consider it a rank in
Justice that efficient and respectable
Negroes should be driven from their
means Of livelihood.

The success of the Piney Woods
Country Life school at Braxton, Miss,
since its organization six years ago
has been most remarkable. The school
was started under a pine tree in 1909
by Laurence G. Jones Of Iowa. Young
Jones had no money with which to
carry on the work, but he did have
faith in the good people of Mississippi
and elsewhere who believed in giving
the colored children chance to get an
education.
With an abundance of pluck, energy
and persistence Professor Jones, who
Is graduate of the Marshalltown Ua.)
high school q9O3) and of the Universi-
ty Of Iowa Q9071, threw himself into
the work Of securing friends and
money. His task at the beginning was
a hard one. but he stuck to his guns
until he secured enough money to pro-
vide small schOolroom
he continued his campaign for funds
until the school was well enough equip
ped to meet the needs of the communi-
ty at that time. Starting with no
means six years ago, the little school
has grown into a large, thrifty institu-
tion, free of debt. The plant consists
of 534 acres of land, three large build
ings and several smaller ones, 200 stu
dents and nine teachers.
Among the industries and trades
taught are farming, printing, broom
making, blacksmithing, carpentry,
laundering, weaving, cooking, sewing,
wheelwrighting, basketry and milli-
merry work. The course Of study ex-
tends from the primary through the
academic grade. Funds for more build
ings and a larger equipment are now
needed, which Professor Jones Is striv-
ing to secure.
