 During the five days the brigade has been away from their home quarters at Camp Mcclellan, field kitchens have sur- piled the coco marchers, and they have spent the four nights under shelter tents pitched 1t previously arranged camping grounds between Anniston and Talla- dega.
 The people of Talladega gave a great demonstration for the 6Ooo Jersey, Mary : land and Delaware troops who reached that point Friday afternoon. The bri- Sade left Talladega early Saturday morn. ing and eHcamped at a point about two miles north of Munford, on the outer edge of Talladega county, Saturday night. The head of the column had reached the intersection of the old Me- Intosh and Georgia roads, just below Ox- lord, before the last unit in the brigadn left their last camping place.
 The return march of the brigade was no less interesting to the people of the countryside along the route of the march than the appearance, of the 5000 marche, S who passed southward along that way Wednesday morning. Every house along the line of march was crowded with peo-

At the monthly meeting of the commits sion on car service yesterday the local ffeisht aseats of Birmingham made their October report of loading and showed 2 decided improvement over September which was considered a most excellent cooperation.
 Tn October this year there was an in- crease of 1s,254,52o pounds of freight for warded from the local warehouses as compared with the same month last year and there were S03 less cars used to load 1t in.
 This is an increase in tonnage of 2s per cent and a decrease in care of 12 t: per cent and it meant an addition of as46 cars to the shipping public's ailot. ment of ears. In other words, had tn, agents ignored the necessity for h~ayS loading In the interest of car conserva, ton and loaded the same tonnage Del car as was loaded last year, 1t would have withdrawn 2s4s more cars from tho shipping pubiic's allotment said Chair man H.

 saw and heard about tire good work
 done since the school was founded by
 your convention 40 years ago.
 Permit me to talk plain to you to-
 night. We have 9 way of saying. I am
 as good as anybody Now we must stop
 that. but we must prove it. There are
 things we must do. There are things
 in white people we must initate
 For instance, white people are to- gether on the necessity of education
 education that fits one for service We
 must bet together along that line. And, too, the white man Is proud
 of his race; the ChinaIinan is proud of
 his race; the Japanese is proud of
 his race; the Indian, and, in fact, every
 race except one, is proud of it's peo-
 pie.
 You must have race consciousness,
 race integrity. We should get down on
 our knees and thank God for the op-
 port1nity that has come to the race to
 come into it's own. We must urge dpon our people to be honest and industrious to be patient and thrifty If we are on job we should try to keep 1t. We should not be too easy to be insulted. We must learn lessons on that line from the Jews whose grip is on the pocket
 book of the world.
