NEGROES BUY LAND

chased by Los Angeles Negroes in
1918 and since that time has been used
largely for wheat growing. Complete
soil and water tests have been made
and the company is now ready to
break the land up into units of forty
acres and multiplies thereof for the
benefit Of homeseekers.
In the opinion of Mr.. Troy, who
heads the company, the oil outlook is
quite as promising as the agricultural
future Of the district in question. He
declares that wells Of good water can
be secured at a depth of from six to
twenty feet, and that the supply seems
mex xhanstible.e The lands lie, alongside
the Mexican highway leading to San
Diego Roads are not good but the
company hopes to improve them when
colonists arrive in large numbers.
The land is too near the coast for
good cotton culture The best results
will be secured by growing live stock
and such crops as walnuts, deciduous
and citrous fruits, alfalfa, potatoes and
melons. ~...s>
Next spring, officers of the company,

BISHOP BROOKS LAYS
CORNER STONE OF A. NE.
COLLEGE IN LIBERIA

Through the courtesy of Atty. s. Joe
Brown of this city we are in receipt of
a copy Of the Agricultural World y
a newspaper published in Monrovia,
Liberia, from which we copy the fol
lowing:
The first chapter in the history Of
the new order Of things in new Liberia,
was written by the Rt. Rev. William
Sampson Brooks, bishop Of the A. M.
=. church in Liberia, on the 22nd of
Septenber, 1921, on which occasion he
laid the corner stone Of Monrovia col
1ege and industrial training school, on
Crown Hill overlooking the Atlantic
ocean, and Messerrado river. This was
an eventful day and spells wonder
ful growth Of the African Methodist
Episcopal church, in Liberia.
The exercises were attended by a
great concourse of people, who came
out to see an A. M. E. church reunion,
and the planting of the flag of the A..
parts of the enemy 8 works, under the
command Of Jehovah and General
William Sampson Brooks who has new
er lost a battle. The Monrovia college
and training school forms the nucleus
of Tuskegee in Liberia, the very OBJ
.jective Of our industrial institutions.
The dimensions of the building are,
length 14S feet, by width 60 feet in
Guiding a piazza ten feet wide all
around. Height Of building three
stories. The mamouth structure stands
east and west with south veranda fac
ing the Atlantic ocean. 1t rests upon
a stone foundation while the magnifi-
cent building is built of cement blocks
and African hard wood with imported
iron house frame and contains every
modern facility. The institution be-
sides giving liberal college course,
will lay special emphasis on industrial % II,
and manufacturing enterprises. The
pay roll of Bishop Brooks carries l2o
workmen including skilled and un-
skilled. This enterprise leads all sim

lie of Liberia. =

While George Washington orig-
mated the custom Of Thanksgiving,
many Of his immediate successors did
not follow his example, and it was
not until Abraham Lincoln became
President that the annual Thanksgiv-

regular institution in the. United

IN STEWART COUNTY

LUMPKIN, Oct. 18.-The Stewart
County Superior Court convened on
Monday morning in Lumpkin with
Judge Z. A. LittIeiohn presiding and
Solicitor julie FELTON, in charge of
the state prosecution.
Quite a number of civil cases arc
scheduled for this court and the Grim
NAL docket is also heavily loaded and
indications are that court will run
INTO the second week before adjourn
ment, officials say.
The Brooklyn robbery cases, seven
of the accused now being in Jail, will
be one of the most interesting cases.
Sharing "honors" with it will, no
doubt, be the case of the PEOPLES
Bank of Richland against NJ. G.
Richardson, who refuses to give up
the Rlchland Inn. Both of thecases
will be well remembered as they are
recent happenings.
