Aside from the two heraids who
trumpeted for clearance Of the
streets for demonstration, sphinx
like silence brooded in the streets
g.. aIcners in their ira
ditional regalia clanked over the
pavement in military manner. The
parade supposedly was a warning
/ ~ro attempt no violence
at the polls next Tuesday. The
clansmen did not say.
II was conducted despite the ur-
gent protests Of national negro or
ganizations to city authorities and
TO State officials at Tallahassee.
First official notice that the khan
was marching came sharply al 5

u. S. GAS DEMANDS
GROW YEARLY LARGER

Consumption Of petroleum by the
U. S. will be approximately 525.ooo,-
900 barrels this year. G. B. Richard
son, of the U. s. Geological Survey,

barrels and importation by 3o,00o..
600, reports showed Richardson.
During September domestic pro-
duction of petroleum was 37,s45,o
barrels, as compared with $685., 200
barrels in August. The decrease In

of 10,914,000 barrels from Mexico
This is the largest amount of oil
ever imported into the U. S. in q
single month, according to govern
ment records.

the only business reported was a sale of

Thomas MaI Notes, NoU. 18th.
Since Monday evening, the pOpulace
are being treated at evenings to a unique
form Of entertainment on the streets in
the form of a travelling ticket wagon"
for the purpose of selling tickets for the
Naval Circus entertainment to be held
during Thanksgiving week, and accom-
panied by a couple of clowns and a musl-
cal band. This moving ticket wagon
attracts a large crowd. ever eager for
something new" A goodly number
of tickets has been already sold; and
OF 'ers have been privately bought, and
others again, privately subscribed TO.
Yet, it is our opinion. that if, instead Of
rounding one beaten track-the Main
Street, with Market Square as the chief
base Of operations-other streets, the
Garden for instance, were ~canVassed,
that very healthy results would be OBJ
tanned,
The entertainment, novel in character
is being held for the benefit of native
institutions; hence. all should contribute
their quota. Of course there are
some misgivings expressed in certain
quarters, relative to admission on the
first night. These misgiyings, this
spreading Of rumours' capable Of handi-
Gaping the good work co~templated,
has originated, as may be expected, from
irresponsible sources.
Let us hope that our people, so known
for their characteristic ~benevolence to
strangers, will, now that it is needed,
turn their attention toward helping to
alleviate the needs in their own home
land.-IbId.
