"GRUNTERS' DRILL"
 IS NAME GIVEN
 WOODEN GUN DRILL

FORT BLISS, TEX, Nov 15.-The "Glunters' drill" is what the troopers station here call the daily bayonet exercises, which are held on the sandy grounds in front of officers row.
 With wooden bayonets instead of the sharp steel ones, the cavalry men divide into squads which oppose each other and they then go through the motions of bayonet charges, parry enemy thrusts and fence skillfully with their rifles. As they go through the motions of stabbing the enemy, the men glunt loudly with each thrust. A thrust to the abdomen and a grunt. A quick upper thrust to the chin and another grunt followed by a quick series of short arm stabs to the breast of the fictitious German and more grunts.
 These throaty sounds are all given in unison and give the drill grew. some touch of realism.

CULORED PEOPLE
HELD BIG NEE TING
REGISTRATION AND LABOR CON-
DITlONS DiSCUSSED-WHITE
CITIZENS PRESENT

BrunsWick's cOlored population held
a regular get-together meeting at
the First African Baptist church last
night. to which they invited num-
Der of white citizens to attend. The
meeting turned out to be a really in
teresting one, bringing, in a way, a
closer understanding between the
white and colored people of the city.
The prime object of the meeting
was to discuss two things of great
Importance, registration today and
the exodus of colored laborers from
Brunswick to other sections of the
country just at present, and it is be-
lieved that, as a result of the meeting
there will be fewer departures from
this city in future, that the coloreJ
men will understand better the condi-
tons, while the employers of this
class of labor will cooperate in every
way possible to help the colored man
to live here in the south, where he
belongs and where he prospers and
enjoys life
The meeting was presided over by
the pastor Of the church, Rev. Tay-
Tor, who, in opening the exercises
made strong address, touching upon
the important questions referred to-
lie said that the south was the place
for the negro, and that he hoped that
white people of Brunswick would CO.
operate in his efforts to keep these
negroes in Brunswick TO do so. how
ever there should be better school
Facilities, better wages where the
high cost of living has advanced so,
and a better understanding between
The two races.
On invitation, short talks were
made by George H. Smith and Albert |
Fendig, who told the. negroes that
The people of the south always want |
ed them; that they were always will |
ing to cooperate and assist those |
who were worthy of assistance, and |
hat, after all, a great majority of |
The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1917-06-05

the negroes had realized that they
fared better in the south than any
section of the country
AS stated. the meeting will I'M
doubtedly result in much good and
it was suggested that such meetings
be held oftencr, in order that the col
ored people hear both sides OF all
questions; that they ask advise be
fore acting on various matters, etc
In fact, meetings OF the kind will af-
ford an oppora:1ity for a better I'M
derstanding between the two races
and will result in much good in the
community
