INCREASE OF 1877
IN SCHOOL TOTALS
CITY ENUMERATION FILED
White School Population Shows Gain
While Colored Declines-Three-
Year Totals.

! A gain of 1877 persons of school age,
or 119 per cent, was made by the
Conway special school district during
the y months ending June 80, it is
shown on the report of the annual
enumeration filed today by w. B.
Clayton, secretary of the directors,
with County Treasurer T. J. Bullion.
The report shows a total school popu-
lation between the ages of six and
p years of 1748 as compared with
1861 in 1919 and 1404 in 1918. This
increase includes a gain of 1874 white
persons, which offsets loss of seven
made in the colored school population.
This year, the aggregate white popu-
lation of school age is 1863 as COM
pared with 1869 last year and 1117 in
1918. The colored school population
decreased from 292 in 1919 to 285 this
year.
Enrolment figures included in the
report also show increases by white
students and increases by the color
ed school population despite its de-

COOPFRATORSTOLD
COST OF SHIPPING
OVERHEAD EXPENSE LOW
Mixed Carload for July Nets Owners
$1076.14 on Low Market
Expense in Detail.

Figures showing the cost of ship
ping on the cooperative marketing
palm were compiled today by County
Agent T. M. Williams at the request
Of the Log Cabin Democrat and for
the information of citizens who have
marketed live stock or produce
through this agency. Federal depart
ment of agriculture rules under which
the shipments are made provide that
all necessary expenses incurred from
the time the shipment is assembled
until it is finally marketed shall first
be deducted from the gross returns on
the sale, and the amount then left, or
the net returns, is then divided among
the shippers according to what his
product sold for. Mr.. Williams emu
merated the costs of the last ship
ment made from Conway, which was
a mixed carload of hogs and cattle.
Freight rates on cattle to st. Louis
are Al cents with minimum of o.
900 pounds, making the minimum
freight charge 5000. On hogs the
rate is 81 cents with minimum of
1900 pounds or a minimum charge
of 5000. On the mixed carload, the
freight charges was S100.6S, with
fee of S12.61 for yardage in st. Louis.
1t required 422 pounds of hay ana
two bushels of corn to feed the stock
while in transit, this cost amounting
to $780, Inspection cost 20 cents,
insurance II cents and the firm of
Clay Robinson & Company was paid
q fee of S24 % for classifying the stock.
An additional expenditure for $3.50
for the expense of an attendant, but
Of this amount sos went for a par
tition in the car used. This item all
told made it cost the co-operators a
total of S172.13 to market their stock |
in St. Louis, which is less or approx
mates the cost of marketing as met by
livestock dealers.
Commission firms handling cooper
alive shipments charge double the
rates on unclassifed stock, as the
carloads must be sorted before their
buyers put final prices on the offer
ings. On the mixed carload shipped
early this month, the gross return was
$l,24827, and the net S1,076,14 for
division among the shippers. A low
market partially accounted for the
low figure, although it was said that
the cattle marketed were not of good
grades. On hogs sold S16.10 was
high. Cattle found its high mark in
81 paid for veal calves, while some of
the offerings went as low as 1915.
The general average for cattle in this
carload was about IS.
While the net returns on the car +
load were not equal those made on
earlier shipments, Mr.. Williams is not
at all discouraged as to the outlook
for cooperative shipping. The two
factors of low grade stock and weak
market probably will be overcome
when the August carload is shipped,

OF the great proportion of citizens

who were assiduous in their endeavors
to excite both revolt and desertion.
The result was that in all the South

the colored patriots of the Revolution
are, as much entitled as their white
brethren for the ardor with which
they fought the common enemy,

that that most infamous action ever

ityz will become an accomplished fact.
' '~ The great event of the meeting is
to be the unidcation of the North and

separated over the slavery question
many years before the shareholders

When the separation took place the
Northern branch took stand for
Christianity, humanity and freedom,
while the Southern branch stood for
slavery.

unite by casting aside every vestige
of Christianity, and segregating the

ligious oppression in a comfortable
home.
But the American colored man is
apparently satisfied with the HALF
LOAF. For ESQ years he was so told
that he was entitled to NOTHING
that he even enjoyed life itself by suf-
france. His mind was so deliberately
dwarfed and stunted that he could not
even think to the contrary.
So we'll was this psychology in
grained into him, that even today, race
leaders of the old school, finding it i'm
possible to break from this log cabin
philosophy, handed it down to free
men,"
He was so thoroughly robbed of his
mentality, that he complacently helped
manufacture the shot and shell which
enabled his masters to keep him in
| slavery. When Liberty and Citizen
ship were granted him, his childish
mind could not grasp their signif-
canoe. He took what was given him
with thankful heart, thanks to the
| teachings of the old school.
He has not yet demanded unequiv-
| cally all that is due him! He fears
to refuse acceptance of the Half Loaf
and demand the WHOLE, trembling
lest he be denied any at all. With
apologize mien and Sinking smile,
he renders gratitude for Jim Grow
Settlement Houses, Jim Crow Soldiers
and Sailors Clubs, Jim Crow Y. NJ
G. AS, Jim Crow Officers Training
Camps, Jim Grow churches, frater-
mites and politics.
He thus plays the begger's role in
spite of the fact that he has proven
| himself to be an indissoluble and
indivisible entity of the whole warp
and wool of America, economic, politi-
cal, military and social. He is the
economic backbone of the South. He
| holds the balance of political power
as he is beginning to learn. He has
| always been the fangs of the American
army. His blood, suspected and un-
suspected, flows in more veins than
any other one strain in America.

ure of recognition and respect. The
New 'Colored American will never
again be satisfied with EQUAL
RIGHTS when they are not the SAME
RIGHTS. The NEW Colored Ameri-

in view of the fact that at this ses-

states, meetings of the Republicans
have been called in places where it
was the custom and practice to deny

Lack Of Labor Caused by Migration
to North Causes White South to
Make Some Concessions.
Special to THE APPEAL.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 2.-Whether it
be change in the real attitude of the
south toward the colored people, as
some assert, or the fact that their
migration to the north has left the
south in an economic state which
make concessions to them necessary.
the fact remains that the sessions of
the eleventh annual conference of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, which
has been in session here since Mon
day, have received more notice from
the southern press and southern indi-
Vlduals Of standing than any OF the
conferences hitherto held. At the
first session, which took place at the
new A. M. E. Bethel Church, the mayor
OF the city was present. That itself,
according to Atlantans was an
achievement. The mayor is said 20
represent a large labor and working
class element.
Five hundred delegates from 343
branches and forty states who with
$500 others crowded the hall, acclaim
ed enthusiastically demands upon the
south made by James Weldon John
son, field secretary of the association
Five Demands Upon the South
These demands were: CD Guaranty
of life by abolition Of lynching; CD
demand for equal education and in,
dustrial opportunities; CD demand
for the ballot under the same qualifi.
cations as others; (4) abolition Of seq.
regation, and 60 abolition of Jim
Crow cars. The Rev. Ashby Jones
noted southern preacher-orator, made
plea for cooperation.

to secure justice for the colored peo
pie in the south was for him to con
tinue to migrate until the south real
lied that as a matter of economic

lined.
