groes have been burned to death
and another hanged to a tree as a
result of a fight which started at
the polls at Ocoee, near here. after
election officials had refused to per-
NIT a Negro to vote on the grounds
that he had failed to pay his poll

Two white men were shot and
killed and several others, including
former police chief, were wounded
in the fight which proceeded the
wholesale lynching.
Armed whites were patrolling the
region and closing in on Negroes
who fled to the woods. the pursuit
being accompanied by intermittent
firing.
More than twenty buildings in the
Negro settlement were burned. Re-
ports from Ocee said that explosion
of considerable amounts of amuni-
ton occurred as the flames swept
the buildings, and that numerous
firearms were found in the ruins
later. One Negro woman was among

OPPORTUNITY.

Opportunity knocks at every
mans door sooner or later. 1t wakes
no sleepers and forces no entrance.
II only presents itself and If not
embraced leaves to return no more
in exactly, the same form.
Locally. We overlook opportuni-
~ too often. We embrace II too sell
dom. We sleep on our rights too
often and when we find ourselves
lacking are prone TO blame every
circumstance and fail to consider
our own slothfulness.
Learning is essential to success.
X Is great asset in even the
most ordinary life and its value is
inestimable. We all need it. Too
few Of us have 1t.
It can be had only as we avail
ourselves OF the opportunities for
its acquisition,
There are now more opportuni-
ties Tor the gaining Of an education
than there are those who seem to
desire to avail themselves Of them.
Such condition Is deplorable. II
should not continue to be so.
The public school system offers
a free night school course in liter
airy branches for all classes of stu
dents. They are hardly well enough
attended to warrant their contin-
uance.
The knights of Columbus offer
free night school courses in auto
mechanics. bookkeeping and liter
airy branches. When the number Of
service men now In our town is
compared with the number actually
attending the lack of interest is
highly noticeable.
There are too many ignorant and
untutored ones among us. 1t would
seem that an interest in their own
advancement would cause them to-
sacrifice at least a few hours a.
week to their own Improvement.
There il no excuse now for the
Grass ignorance found among our
young men and women. 1t is not
necessary that they be so. Oppor-
tunity for changing their untutored
condition is everywhere open to-
them.
They should be urged in every
way to improve themselves know
ledge is never wasted. It should
be the duty OF every consideratel
person to urge them to embrace
some Of these schools. They will
prove highly beneficial.
