WANTS NEGRO REGIMENT
RAISED BY THIS STATE

Atlanta, Ga. April 19.-Congress-
man William Schley Howard is act
lively interesting himself in Wash
ington in the effort to have a regi-
ment of Georgia negroes formed for
duty in Europe should the govern
ment decide to send troops to France
Henry Lincoln Johnson of this city
has made canvas of the local situa-
ton and finds that many negroes are
anxious to enlist for service abroad.
Financing such a regiment would be
easy it is stated as many persons have
agreed to put up the money once the
government allows. such regiment to
be raised.
Johnson has written the following
open letter to the negroes of the state
on the subject:
Il take this method of letting it be
known to all my colored fellow citi-
zcns of Georgia that am using my
best endeavors. through the proper
channels at Washington to have
formed for the state of Georgia a vol
unteer regiment of colored soldiers
for active duty in the present war
The first spirit that animates the
formation of this regiment is that it
be sent to Europe to be engaged in
actual fighting. We feel that we
should pay with our bodies and with
Our lives in battle for the priceless
liberty that will come to all men as
a result of this conflict. The blood of
our bodies should pay for the peace of
our souls. We cannot rest contented
under the idea that continental Europe
must confer on America the boon of
universal liberty; we feel and insist
that we should pay part price mas
much as we shall be part benehciaries.
If the government decides to send
soldiers to Europe, it is the wish of
our hearts that the government will
allow the formation Of this regiment
of Georgia colored men and thai it
be sent among the first American
soldiers.

COMMENCEMENT AT THE
QUEENLAND INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL ON MAY FIRST

The closing exercises Of the Queens
land Training School will commence
Tuesday, May |, and continue for
three days, eliminating in the Annual
School Fair
The purpose of this fair is to show
the citizens of Ben Hill county what
the school is doing to make useful
citizens of the colored youths, and at
the same time, inspire excellency in
our various Industrial departments.
The exhibits will show the work Of
the students in the shop, on the farm,
in the kitchen, dining room, yard,
sewing room, and handicraft in gem
eral. Our efforts are to produce in
dustrial proficiency in common things
those we need in our everyday life.
Nothing fancy or superfluous is either
sought or desired.
We especially desire our white
friends to attend these exercises and
exhibitions that they may see and
know just what we are striving to ac-
complish. Without their hearty CO.
operation in the past the school could
not have reached its present state of
usefulness.
The white merchants of the city of
Fitzgerald have subscribed quite lib
orally in offering prizes for the best
individual exhibit from each and all
of the industrial departments, and
we are expecting them TO be present
and see just how these prizes shall be
awarded and distributed
The school counts itself fortunate in
being able to claim the sympathy and
support of every substantial white
citizen in the county as we'll as every
black citizen.
