THERE WILL Be NO
DISCRIMINATION
Declares the Secretary Of
War.
WAR DEPARTMENT HAS MADE
THIS CLEAR-"ANY WRONG
WILL BE RIGHTED," SAYS SEC
RETARY BAKER-UNFAIRNESS
WILL BE INVESTIGATED.

Washington, D. c., July THE
War Department has made it clear
that it will tolerate no discrimina-
tion against colored draftees by the
local draft boards in any section of
the country and that cases of alleged
unfairness will be fully investigated
and corrected by the Departmental
authorities.
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker,
in a recent interview, speaking with
reference to alleged discrimination
against colored draftees, said, in
part:
II have heard that draft boards
in adjoining counties take different
view of practically identical facts
with regards to colored men; but the
answer in all these cases is that re-
view is provided directly by the
President, and all that is necessary
for anybody to do who thinks there
is grievance, is to point it out to the
War Department, and it will be in
vestigated If the draft boards act
unfairly, we will correct their action.
The War Department will brook nc
discrimination, and any cases of al
legged or suspected discrimination
brought to our attention will be in
vestigated, and any wrong done will
| be righted."

on June II, it is now permissible to
state. The Germans attempted a
raid in that sector but were COM
pletely repulsed by the Negroes,
The Boches began terrific bonn
bardment at one minute after mid
night, throwing over between 5000
and 1000 shells from guns ranging in
size from 67 to $40 millimeters. The
bombardment was concentrated on
small areas. Many of the shells
made holes from ten to fifteen feet
across.
In the midst of this inferno the Ne
groes coolly stuck to their posts,
operating machine guns and automa-
tic rifles, and keeping up such a
steady barrage that the German in
fantry failed to penetrate the Ameri-
can lines.
Only Two Wounded.
The Americans sustained only two
wounded.
"Dixie luck was a-workin' with u.s.

down lots O. times, but every man

During the attack the crew of q

fifteenfoot hole ten feet from them
They all got up, remounted their
guns and continued shooting until II
jammed. Then, despite the terrible
Apmbardment, they fixed it and again

Some people have declared that
colored farmers do not know how to
use their money and therefore should
be satisfied with a bare subsistence
This is what has happened to some
of the colored farmers increased
earnings, according to the District
Agents report.
In Brunswick County one new
patent roller mill was installed last
year; in Caroline County two were
installed. The following churches
were remodeled: New Grove, Lunen-
burg County; Morning Star, Motto
way County; Mt. Moriah and Cypress,
Surry County.
In Caroline County eight graded
school buildings were constructed at
an average cost of $500 each.

whom demonstration work has been
conducted. He owns 654 acres of
land and has large barns and gram
aries sufficient to shelter all his live
stock and feed, machinery and farm
TOOLS He has seven horses and
mules, five COWS, 81 hogs, one pure
blood Jersey bull, and one pure-blood
Berkshire boar. His improved ma
chinery includes a tractor engine
gang plow and disc, moving ma
chine, stalk cutter, manure spreader
corn, cotton and peanut planters, fer
tilizer drill, corn shredder and husk-
er, and cotton gin. His success as a
farmer is a great incentive to others
Agricultural fairs were held in the
seventeen counties in which colored
farm demonstration agents are al
work. "These county fairs have
served as a medium for inspiring the
colored farmers to strive harder fol
greater improvement in their moral
! literary, and industrial develop
ment" says John Pierce. "Thel
bring county officials and white
friends in direct touch with the con
tributions which the colored farm
ers are making to the growth of thu
county. They pave the way for th
best development of the county. The,
demonstrate that the county can b.
developed along all lines by botl
races working comparatively"

VIRGINIA C0L0RED FARMERS
MAKE GOOD

Hampton, Va.-The colored farm
ers in Virginia are beginning to see
daylight in their upward struggle
from poverty and ignorance. John
B. Pierce, District Negro Agent in
charge of Negro farm demonstration
work, reports that in a single year
over 4400 colored farmers, with
whom the Virginia county agents
conducted demonstration work, raised
practically all their home supplies;
$50 opened new bank accounts; and
1888 increased their bank deposits.
