Full Equipment For Fifteenth New
York Regiment Favorably Reported.
Arrangements are being made, to
muster the Fifteenth infantry, New
York, into the United States national
guard. The Fifteenth is the only regi-
ment Of colored men in the national
guard Of New York state This regi-
ment was accepted by the state some
time ago, but as unit of the national
guard Of the United States was held
back on account Of lack of sufficient
appropriations to cover its expenses.
1t was stated on good authority on
March "a that favorable action had
been taken on the second application
for an appropriation for the Fifteenth
regiment and that the funds for its
full equipment would be available b!
about March 81.
This regiment has been put through
a thorough preliminary inspection by
Colonel William Hayward and Lieu
tenant Colonel Lorillard Spencer. The
Fifteenth is composed of 900 able
bodied men. The work of inoculating
the men against typhoid fever will be
done by DR.. Boiling Lee, major sur
geon of the regiment, and large num-
Der Of assistants.

popularity of these distinguished gen.

in no uncertain degree. and the cause
for which they stand was also indors-
ed by the hearty welcome accorded
them by the representatives OF the

Mr.. Scott was presented by Chair
man Lassiter, and the address deliv-
cred by Tuskegee institutes secretary
was a masterpiece Of modest eloquence
and a model for clarity of statement
of the plans and purposes Of the pro.

by Mr.. Scott. is to raise 100000

money to make up the deficits that oc-

Amid salvos of applause, former
Senator Moses e. Clapp Of Minnesota,
a tried and true friend Of the race,
rose to present DR.. Motion. He made
a speech abounding in patriotism, con-
fidence in the fidelity Of the Negro to
lofty standards Of industry, courage
and civic uprightness, and expressed
hio ho1iof thof tho ma milo Of the i'm
mortal Washington had fallen upon
worthy shoulders. "WOrk, worth, SER

he had an unusually bright mind, and
his first teacher Professor D. J. Law
renee, predicted that he would become
q great man, and while Professor Law
renee did not live to see any Of the
great work Of his former pupil, Profes.
sor James has been able to carry out
all that was predicted of him and
even more.
Finishing the public school course.
he entered the Atlanta Baptist semina-
ry, which is now the MOrehouse col
lege. He realized that in order to get
an education he would have to work
hard. He did not depend upon his
mother, but worked his own way
through the seminary within three
years. He afterward returned home
and went to work on his fathers farm
He decided that farming was not bis
calling, but put in some time for the
experience it afforded and in order to
show to his father that he fully ap-
preciated what he had done for him
while in school. Professor James de-
cided to make teaching his profession.
His first work In the schOOlroom
was in the county of his birth. He
received q cordial welcome back to his
native county to take charge OF the
public school, where he made good
record as a teacher. Between ten and
twelve years were spent In Washing
ton and Johnson counties. His expert
ence counted much, and when he was
called upon to come to Statesboro he
was ripe for the work. There were
several small schools here, and this
master mind was able to unite them
all into one. StatesbOrO Is doing an
effective work among our people.
When Professor James took charge
of the school the race did not own one
dollars worth of property in States
boro, and he declared that they should
own something and not sit down
spending their time In complaints and
wailings, for this would never accom-
plish anything. He told them to follow
him, and they had confidence in him,
and told him to lead and they would
follow, and now they have accumulated
within the past eight years about $1O.-
600 worth of property.
The members of the race had learned
the doctrine of self help through the
teaching of this young man.. and they
put down not only money for the school.

buy homes. When the white people
noted what they were doing they came

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE
OBSERVES FOUNDERS DAY.
Memorial Fund Offerings Feature Of
Celebration April 5. :,

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-One Of the
very impressive tributes with which
DR.. Booker T. Washington's memory
has been honored was the contribution
Of the colored children Of the various
schools on April 8, 1915, to the Booker
T. Washington memorial fund. When
called upon the children responded with
nickels and dimes, and in some in
stances where they were unable to
bring money they brought butter and
eggs, which their teachers converted
into cash and forwarded to Tuskegee
institute.
Such a popular demonstration of
love and loyalty has not been exhibited
since the campaign was launched, and
1t has been suggested that the schools
be again invited to contribute to the
memorial fund and also to conduct
suitable memorial exercises.
Founders day exercises are held at
Tuskegee institute on this date, and
we invite teachers In all the schools to
hold similar exercises in their schools
on this anniversary Of DR.. Washing.
toms birthday. The collection will af-
ford those children who were unable
to contribute last April to do their
part in helping to. .perpetuate the work
which was founded here at Tuskegee
institute for the industrial advance
ment of-the Negro race. A certificate
which may be framed showing DR..
Washington's picture, a picture of the
house in which he was born, and Tus.
kegee's most important building, will
be sent to each individual aRd school
sending $5'or more
Local memorial fund committees are
also invited to conduct appropriate ex-
ercises on April 5. Such an occasion
would be an opportune time to direct
the attention of the various communi-
ties to the work ard purposes Of the
local memorial fund committees.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER
ISSUED BY THE TERRITORIAL
MARKETING DIVISION

I In the letter of last week, it was an
nounced that all but two consignors had
been paid in full for produce sold pre-
vious to January |, This week, we arc
able to. announce that these two con
signors have been paid. This had been
made possible by funds privately ad-
vanced for the purpose.
Already great many of the old con
signors who had stopped making ship
haents because of the delay in getting
their money are now beginning to mako
shipments, which goes to prove that a
cash working fund to pay consignors
is necessary in order to make the di.
vision of the greatest help to producers.
The division is now in a position to
handle larger quantities of dressed
meats and live stock than ever before,
as the retail department trade is, in
creasing. Poultry, corn and beans are
bringing very good prices, due to their
scarcity in the market at present, and
all holders of these products would do
well to sell now, .
The division again invites consignors
