Ambitious Scheme.

Some twenty years ago, the pro-
motors Of the scheme, spurred by
the success of the Booker T. Wash-
ington school at Tuskegee, Ala,
launched on the enterprise Of estab
fishing in white section" of ru-
raj Alabama, a demonstration on a
srander scale OF what could be ac-
complished by the Colored race with
northern capital to back it. Seven
thousand acres in adjoining sec
tions of Gilmore and Tallapoosa
counties were purchased and the
machinery was set in motion for a
Negro community thereon that would
be an educational and industrial
unit well-nigh complete in itself.
Land was sold on time payment to
Colored farmers; a school was es-
tablished known as the Dixie In
dustrial Institute; machinery for
ginning, manufacturing cotton oil
and producing lumber was installed;
and railroad, twenty miles in
length was built from Alexander City
to the town of Benson, one of the
centers of the community.

LLTTERACY DECREASES IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

Columbia, Nov. 16.-That South
Cardinals blot of illiteracy is being
wiped out is shown by the annual
report of Miss Will Lou Gray, su-
pervisor of adult schools for the
state department of education. The
report covering the last school year
and being handed to the state su-
perintendent of education this week.
Miss Gray's report shows that
where there were $50 schools for
adults in 25 counties, with 1875
students enrolled in 1918, there are
today 3S1 such schools, in A coun-
ties, with 10,447 adult-pupils en-
rolled, and with a more than TWEEN
ty per cent perfect attendance rec
ord. In these schools 524 teachers
are employed. Where at first the or
ganization of adult schools had to
be urged, today the counties are
crying for the organization Of such
classes, Miss Gray's report shows.
The report shows further that
where in 1900 South Cardinals per-
centage of illiteracy was 35.9 per
cent, it is today 1877. The states
position in the illiteracy column is
is due largely to the illteracy of the
Negro population outnumbering the
whites by $4,000. Negro illiteracy
today is 1913 per cent, white only
6.5 per cent. However" the re-
port says, at must be remembered
that economic development depends
on the intelligence of the masses
rather than a few: therefore. so
long, as over SO per cent of South
Cardinals population remains ig-
norant, so long will her God-given
climate and her rich soil fail as
wealth producers"
OF the 3S1 adult schools, 223 are
for whites, 1853 for Negroes. OF the
524 teachers employed during the
year., in adult schools, 900 were
white, 215 Negroes. Ir the adult
schools last year 1854 we're taught
to read; 3,028 were taught to write.
The average amount of money spent
during the year per pupil, for
whites was 1895, for Negroes $1.52.
There were 1897 school days in
the sessions of the adult schools,

ton of any variety.
To Chairman Aloe's request as to
whether they were in favor of in
creasing the item for new Ne
gro hospital from 100000 to ST.

piled that they did not agree with
the idea of a separate Negro hos
pital, but If such condition were
necessary then they would certainly
be in favor Of the larger appropri-
alton The same sentiment was ex-
pressed as to the proposal to create
a Negro swimming pool at cost Of
100000.
The committee in executive ses-
sion afterwards agreed to increase
this appropriation to $4,000 for
the possible creation of two Negro
swimming pools instead of one to
serve the two Negro centers of the
city. The members, over the
advice of Alderman Uhlemeyer. de-
cided not to increase the amount
of bonds to be voted upon for the
purchasing of new parks from ST.

ded by the Council on Civic Needs.

Wichita, Kans., Nov. 1S.-"The
Negroes of Wichita are asleep at the
switch. In city the size of Wichita,
with 5000 Negroes, every one Of

the South who are suffering the
torture Of the damned there at this
minute. You are not doing your
duty here. especially you leaders,
OF you would have had larger
crowd here this evening to hear me
speak on this subject which so d.
rectly pertains to every man in
your race" said Congressman L. G..
Dyer of st. Louis, who was brought
here to discuss his anti-lynching
bin with the Negroes of this city
and also to assist Richard T.. Bird
for reelection.
So repeated and emphatic were
his statements that Wichita Negroes
were derelict in their duty toward
the Southern Negro that the Rev.
E. T. Fishback and another minister
arose and protested with the speak

other Negroes present. So vigorous

bill. 1--WE compiled 10000 cases of
lynchings and found the above sta
tistics and also found the feeling
so rampant in the South that news
papers, in many instances, gave news
of lynchings hours before it ac-
tually took place. About eight of
the twelve million Negroes in the
United States are disfranchised and
segregated" he declared.
His bill provides that the federal
Judge of the district in which the
lynching occurs. shall call a grand
jury to investigate the matter and
that witnesses are to be subpoenaed
by the United States marshal. The
jury is called from counties so far
away that the members will be un-
biased. Each county in which a
lynching occurs is penalized $4,000
for each offense.
He discussed recently enacted leg
islation of the Republican party and
urged the voters to send Bird back
to Congress. "If you send Ayres
back to Congress he will do nothing
but hamper and fight the admins
tration. He is a Wilsonian -McAdoo-
William Jennings Bryan type of
Democrat and we don't want him
UP there" he said in conclusion.

stated. The railroad ceased run
ming some years ago. But the
school at Benson is still function

ers have bought and paid for their

the hopes of the founders of the

Complaint is made by the Bank
of Wetumka and other creditors
of the Dixie Industrial company
that the property brought too
little at the bankrupt sale. and this
will be ironed out at the federal
court here. It is stated that the
property was bought for consider
