for Colored Youth Worthy?

as to how or from whence the
money has come for the erec-
ton of the girls dormitory
leaks Hall) cement stone
building, which is nearing COM
pletion and will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the first Monday in
November. Thus l make the
following statement with embar-
rassment on my part and | fear
it will be also on the part of
my friends for them to know
how my wife, Mrs. DeBerry,
and / have sacrificed to bring
this work where it is. This
building when, completed will
be worth between twenty and
twenty-five thousand dollars.
The following is the amount
that has been collected for this
purpose. Contributions and ma
terial, $1,237.65; public collec-
lions, cards and Jubilee singers,
$353.OO; total, $1,590.65.
For this building we bought
the cement more than three
years ago. We had an expert
to teach us how to make the
stone. After he had helped to
make a little over two thousand,
/ dismissed him and my wife,
daughter, little boy and myself
made the remainder. We were
almost two years, but we stuck
to it. Ever since the founding
of this school ] have. been pas
toring and farming, and with
the exception of what it has
taken to live on, l have put in
the school. For the last four
years l have been successful in
growing the greater portion of
our foodstuff for the boarding
department; this enabled us to
take the money the students paid
in for board to help carry on the
work on this building. The tut
ton fro mthe outside students
aside from paying the teachers,
with the county paying the
amount of one county teachers
salary for six public school
years, and with selling some of
our personal property and put
ting into this building, and not
having received any salary our
selves and l having made a hand
On the building, the work has
succeeded as you see.
AS to the work and worth of
the school l have but to say that
a goodly number of the teachers
of this county, more, Hoke,
Lee, Scotland and one or two
counties in South Carolina are
of this school and are doing sue
cessful work. The first Rosen-
wald school house, modern in all
it's equipments, was built by one
of our graduates, Miss Leila
Gordon. The general work of
the school stands for the high
est and best in Christian and in
dustrial education, not political
but moral sentiment, not leisure
but activity, and service, such
as are essential to promote man
hood and womanhood' which
demonstrates the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of
man.
We are still in need of money
to help with the completion of
this building. Any amount you
may give to help with this work
would be highly appreciated.
I'VE solicit your consideration.
What we need to equip this
building, utensils for the domes-
tic science kitchen and furniture
for the dining room. Four hun
dred chairs for dining hall and
dormitory. Thirty-five bed
steads and mattresses. Twenty
chiffoniers, twenty small size
tables. We earnestly appeal to
tall friends Of industrial nd,Ina-

is what the Rocky Ford Gazette

The latest fad of the sO-called pur-
ity league is a request that the city

hour to register with the police If
they want to~eat and rent a room.

II Year Sentence Given A. s. Fair

A. S. Fair, the man who recently
assaulted H. G. Rethlefson on the
road near Hasty while riding with
him in the latter's auto was yester-
day sentenced to the state refOrma-
tory for term of II years. The
case was called at the opening of
the district court here Wednesday
and after Fair had plead guilty he
was sentence by Judge Hollenbeck
as above stated. No complaint was
entered against Fairs wife.
This case has attracted unusual
interest in the county and the par
ticulars of the holdup and assault
were told in detail in this paper
last week. AT that time it was sup.
posed that both. the man and won
an would be charged with the crime
but circumstances seemed to indi
cate that the man alone was re
sponsible. At the trial Wednesday
Fair stated that he and his wife left
Brooklyn, N. Y, recently. on their
honeymoon trip. They had come to
Denver where they had been stay
ing for some time. but had run out
OF money and were. trying to get
back east, both of them being
homesick, evidently. Autoists had
helped them on their way this far
The night preceding the assault
they had stopped at hotel here,
but had left the next morning with
out paying their bill. according to
reports. Fair states that he had
but two cents to his name; that he
and his wife were then going afoot
through the country and that des-
pondency over their plight caused
him to commit the crime He said
The Holly chieftain., 1920-11-11

he was sOrry for his alton as soon
as he had struck his victim. apd the
fact that he did not try to take
anything from Mr.. RethlefsOn would
Indicate that he was telling the
truth.
Fair testified that he was be-
tween 20. and 2l years old. AS he
was not of age he could not be sent
to the penitentiary. which accounts
for the fact that he was sentenced
to the refOrmatOry. Mrs. Fair has
