National Negro CyclOpedia is
Announced.

Chicago III. April THE National
Cyclopedia of the Colored race is the
latest addition to the large and some
what interesting group of race books
for the year. 1t is published by the
National Publishing Company of
Montgomery Alabama, and its Editor
in Chief is Clement r. Richardson.
president of Lincoln Institute. at JEFF
ferson City. Mo.
The Cyclopedia sets forth the strug-
giles of individuals to rise to their
present places of prominence. The
Historical section depicts the Ameri-
can Negroes rapid progress from slav-
erature. Statesmanship, Commerce.
Education. Science. Culture and Re-
finement The Cyclopedia deals also
with the Educational facilities offered
members of the race. 1t tells of OBJ
stacles overcome by the pioneers in
Negro Education, and clearly points
out the paths open to ambitious Colo
ored youth. to acquire knowledge and
attainment.
In an ecclesiastical way the Cyclic
pedia gives an instant into the moral
helps available to the individuals of
the race. Short histories of the in
dividual churches, as well as a gem
eral chapter devoted to the various
religious churches, as well as gem
organizations should prove interesting
reading. Fraternai Orders and other
societies and their great influence in
the uplift of the race are fully de-
scribed with short histories of their
founding and development
The Negroes part in the World war
is told in an interesting manner by
Hon. Emmett J. Scott. who was spe-
cial assistant to the SECRETARY of War

LARGE FUND SUBSCRIBED
TO DICKSON ORPHANAGE.
Board Of Directors Commend
President For Work.

That the work OF the Dickson Or
phanage home is being highly ap-
preciated by the people of Texas is
proved by the fact that in the latest
crease the facilities of that institu-
tion enough money has been raised
to allow for the purchase of a tract
OF land comprising 459 acres and cost
ing $41 900.
At meeting last week at the Dali
las Chamber of Commerce rooms a
resolution was presented by II. c.
Coke commencing Rev. Dickson, presi-
dent of the institution. for the eff
cheney of the work done. At the same
meeting a committee composed of j

campaign for funds with which to
meet the notes on the newly ac-
quired property and meet the expenses
OF the program proposed by President
Dickson.
Members of the Board of Directors
in that meeting subscribed $2.916.
Rev. Dickson stated to a reporter
of the Express on last Saturday that
he was highly elated at the response
to his plea for the institution from
both the white and Negro public. He
stated that during the two days just
closed $5,916 had been subscribed. He
spoke particularly of the subscript-
tions of The People Undertaking Co.,
which paid $50 OF 800 pledge and
DIR. r. T. Hamilton who in addition
to his yearly subscription promised
500 year for five years.
The acquisition of the additional
459 acres makes of the Dickson Or
phanage one of the largest industrial
schools of the South. Included in the
purchase of the land were 80 sheep,
10 goats. / pair mules. 3 brood
mares, 2 registered Duroc-Jersey sows
12 registered Jersey cows and regis
tered Jersey male.
The proposed improvements as out
lined by President Dickson will cost
Sl26, 900 and will include Improvement
OF the Sanger Chapel and industrial
hall. $4,000, hospital $4,000 baby cot
tage $1,000, potato-curing plant $4,000
Steam laundry $1,000 boys dormitory
$50 900. hall for manual training;
$40, 900 electric lighting plant $4,000
and shop equipment $4,000.
That all people are heartily in sym
pathy with this movement is more cas-
lily seen from the fact that at the
board meeting among the first sub
scriptions presented were those OF
Macedonia church which subscribed
500 through Rev. +. Arlington Will
son. st. Paul church $27 through Rev
j. w. Weakly and Evening Chapel
$50 through Rev. ]. r. Starks.
