PASTURAGE MEETING ONE
OF MUCH INTEREST

There will be ameeting in Thomas
vile on August 18th, that should
commend itself to the people of this
part of the state with unusual force
at this time. 1t is called at the in
stance OF the State College of Agri-
culture for the purpose Of studying
the possibility of natural pasturage
for cattle.
The county of Thomas is perhaps
the most fitting place in which such
meeting could be held. The devel-
opment of natural pasturage in this
county has been wonderful and while
1t has not yet assumed the proper
tons which it will eventually attain.
there is as specific and definite deyel-
opment that has proven its possibili-
ties.
This county is the home of the fin
est specimen of Hereford cattle ever
| produced. 1t was raised on natural
grasses IN the main. There are some
feeders in Thomas county that have
shown development far above the
average of the cattle countries in the
Middle West on natural pasturage.
They attain a growth of nine hundred
pounds in year and are raised at a
price that is one-third less than it can
be done in the best cattle country of
the blue grass.
These natural conditions, which
have been adapted to the necessary
scientific stimulation to produce pas
turage are on display in Thomas coun-
tty IN manner that will show people
first hand what can be done. The
products that have come from the
county will prove that these products
are first in their class.
Thousands of natural pasturage
plots are going to waste right this
minute IN Thomas county. Thous-
andS OF tine cattle could be grazing on
natural grasses that are in abundance
here every month except two in the
entire, year. The people haven't got
ten the spirit of the movement yet
nor see the possibilities. Such a
meeting as is to be held here will
show them exactly what has been
done again and again and then again
to our everlasting benefit.
The development of the cattle rails
ing industry in Thomas and adjacent
counties means more than almost
any other industry that could. be pro-
NOTED because it can be done so well
and so cheaply as compared with 9th
er sections where the industry has
brought thousands nay millions of
dollars into local banks and therefrom
brought prosperity and allied develop
ments to those sections.
The meeting is we'll timed and we
hope that all who can will attend in
order to get first hand information
and to see what some progressive
men have been doing for their own
good, but indirectly to the good of
entire South Georgia.-From the

Rx-soLpIRRs AND P0IITIos.

The coming campaign In Texas,
will be one which will demand the
atcual and definite choice Of some
political machine by every man
Of voting age in the state. Ex-
service men are no exception TO this
rule. The issues now before me
voters Of Texas will holly contested
and the principles at state are OF
such nature as to demand that men
even though they have never before
taken any active part in political
campaigning ought feel that their
services in this particular case are
indispensable.
A Mccarthy club has been
organized In Dallas County. Such
club should demand the support
Of every Negro voter In the county,
for the reason that It favors politi-
cal justice and equality. The Lily
Whites OF Texas favor the Danish
ment OF Negroes from political par
ticlpatlon in Texas Republican at
fairs. The Green cCarthy clubs
vigorously oppose such principles.
Ex-service men are urged to ally

struct:ve and have real education
al value.
working knowledge OF the val
ne of the ballot, the meaning OF
political organizations and the basic
fundamentals OF party policies are
absolutely essential TO a complete
fulfillment OF ones civic duty and
obligation TO himself and his gem
eral racial group.
Ex-servlce men need no poll tax
receipts In this election. They
have only to present their discharge
certificates and secure voting quail
ncations This fact II borne In
mind and made use OF BY Negro
ex-seryIce men generally viii mean
between five and ten thousand add
ed Republican voters In Texas.
Ex-seryice men are urged to In

iitical participation for time to
come IN Texas.

The growth OF the local Negro In

be proud Of The latest reports
show that at least So local Negro
agents are at work in the City Of
Dallas and that their results each
week are very gratifying. This is
as It should be. We are glad that
Il is so. The employment OF Ne
groes by Negroes ID a thing much
to be sought for. It means finan-
ciaI progress and racial solidarity.
There are at present several other
projects under way which will lend
IN the same direction. We wish
for them the greatest amount OF
success and prosperity There can
