BORDER CITIZENS REGISTER
0U|ETLY:PR0P0RT|0N LARGE
"Ilave you registered ?'

"llave you registered
That's the question being put to the
youth of Brownsville and the lower bor-
der country today and the youth Of the
border i answering the question affirma-
lively and in large numbers.
The registration boxes opened promptly
nj J o'clock IN every precinct in Cameron
county and by noon, if several Browns
vile precincts may be taken a. a criterion,
there should have been more than two
thousand registrations. Officials estimated
today that the complete registration in the
county will be 5000 To 1000.
While the exodus Of Mexicans from the
lower border country has been large, this
apparently did not affect the number of
registrations in Brownsville, accounted for
by the fact that in almost nine eases out
Of ten. the MeXicanS quitting the country
are either men ont of the registration age,
or else they are women and children below
2l years. immigration men estimated that
three hundred MeXicans crossed ut this
point during Monday, but the number go
men Of registration age were noted among
the number.
All day long there has been steady
stream Of men between the ages Of 2l and
81 in and ont of the various registration
booths in Brownsville. In most eases there
is sufficient number of registrars on
hand to handle the situation. but in one or
two instances the registrars had more than
they could handle. This was noted espec-
tally at the courthouse where until early
this afternoon the two registrars were ten
To twelve men behind at all times.
Persons who understand the English
language are permitted to fill out their
own registration cards. provided they
write legihly. while IN the cases of others
the work j. being done by the registrars.
The number of exemption claims, it was
apparent today nj the registration booths,
N going To he enormous. In AZ least three
out of five cases, II was noted at one booth,
the registered persons claimed exemptions,
some becaus they wcr alins, others because
they had parents, or brothers or sisters,
dependent upon them for livelihood, and
others because of various physical de-
fects
II there is active opposition TO registra-
tion on the border it was not apparent in
Brownsville. The youth Of Brownsville
cheerfully and in most eases with quite ap-
parent pleasure walked up to the regis
tration booths and answered the questions
freely and without any sign Of attempt 10

BAPTIsTs TO RAISE s1,ocO,ooO

Statewide Campaign Will be Launch
ed Next Year for Endowment and
Equipment Fund for Schools and
Colleges-Rev. C. L. Greaves of
LumbertOn is Chairman of One of
the Committees
Wilmington Star, 9th.
Plans for launching a Statewide
campaign next year to raise an en-
dowment and equipment fund of ST.
100000 for the Baptist colleges and
secondary schools in North Carolina
were discussed at meeting OF the
educational board of the Baptist State
convention in Raleigh this week, ac-
cording to Rev. DR.. John Jeter Hurt,
of this city, chairman of the board,
who has returned to Wilmington.
The work of organizing for the
proposed campaign, which it is plan
ned to start Immediately after the
next annual Baptist State conven-
ton next December, was started with
the authorization of the appointment
of a ways and means committee OF
five men, of which DR.. Hurt will be
chairman, which will make report
at meeting of the educational board
at Wrightsville Beach the latter part
of June in connection with the Bap.
fist Seaside assembly. The mem
bers of this committee are to be ap.
pointed by DR.. Hurt.
One million dollars was recon
mended to the board as the amount
to be raised by a committee compos.
ed of five men, of which Mr.. c. W
Mitchell of Aulander, was chairman
This committee went into the mat
ter in some detail and after q discus
sion lasting for a half day, the edu
cational board decided by unan,
mousvote to make this the goal tx
be sought.
In the distribution of this sum i
is proposed TO give 100000 t.
Wake Forest college: 100000 t.
Meredith college at Raleigh; $3.50, 00(
to Chowan college at Murfreesboro
and the remainder tn the differen
secondary schools of the State of thu
Baptist denomination.
A committee was appointed o.
which Rev. c. L. Greaves of Lum
berton is chairman, to decide on thu
number of high schools and acade
mics that are to participate IN tn
endowment fund. The Baptists nov
have 10 secondary schools in tn
State but there is feeling that thi
number should be reduced to perhap
a half dozen as the State eduoationa
system has provided SO many goo'
sckc OILS that it is not considered wis
to undertake the support of such in
situations Except where they arr
really needed in order to afford cdu
cational advantages to those nov
without them.
Nothing definite is to be done to
wards starting the propozed cam
paign, DIR. Hurt said last night, un
til after the next Baptist State con
vention.
