AvENEL STREET ACTION
PUSHED BY TAXPAYERS

AVENEL, Jan. 19.-The Avenel
Steel Equipment Corporation have
Joined the Avenel Taxpayers Asso-
citation in the move for the 1mme-
diate improvement of Avenel street,
the most important thoroughfare
linking Avenel with the important
highways, according to a statement
made yesterday afternoon by J. A.
DuPlesis, an official of that COM
pany.
That the equipment plant has f.
nally decided to push the improve
ment of the road was the result of
recent difficulties encountered on the
Avene1 street by men hauling the
large trucks of the company, which
are filed with goods. Only last
week one of the trucks broke down
On the street in question and kept
a crew of men unloading the goods
into another truck and bringing the
disabled one into working condition.
At recent meeting of the tax
payers organization, resolutions
were made to present a petition to
the freeholders, urging them to act
Immediately in this matter. Their
attention to Avenel street was made
on previous occasions by taxpayers
and residents, but from general in
dications, no signs of action in that
direction are being planned by the
county authorities.
The Avenel street, explained Mr..
DuPlesis, is ready for paving. The
sewer work on that street has been
recently completed and there would
be no handicap to proceed with put
ting the road into good condition.

Tax Payers Association
Planned SOuthAmbOV

SOUTH AMBOY, Jan. 1s.-The
suggestion of Mayor Chase at the
initial meeting of the common
council January 1, relative to the
formation Of taxpayers associa-
ton in the city, met at the time with
instant and almost universal favor.
In all probability such an organiza-
ton will be formed in the near fu-
ture, although nothing along the
lines have as yet been reported.
The suggestion of Mayor Chase is
a continuation Of his efforts to serve
the people best, and at the same
time eliminate certain burdensome
details that fall entirely on the
councilmanic body, where such an
organization does not exist. The
formation of the taxpayers asso-
citation, or the league of taxpayers,
will give every interested taxpayer
4 chance to familiarize himself with
conditions financially and to make

SURVEY BEING MADE

TOTTENvILLE, Jan .1s-During
the past week inspectors of the De-
partment of Docks Of the city Of
New York have been making a sur
vey of the old abandoned dock at
Rossville. This action is being
taken. it is said. following the re-
quest of the South Shore Protectice
Association that the city make some
repairs to structure which Is fast
going to pieces.
The matter was laid before Corr
missioner Rendt of the public
works for the borough of Richmond
with a request that the dock de-
partment take some action in the
matter. Since the city abandoned
the dock the place has been used
for old wrecks of boats and barges
floating in there with coal. The
property was given by citizens of
Rossville to the city for a public
dock, but after the pier was built
there was very little use for it as
public dock.

SHOW TONIGHT
At WOODBRIDGE
Presbyterian Minstrel Show to
Attract Large Crowds
Good Program

WOODBRIDGE, Jan. 19.--With
the clashing Of tamborines and roll
ing of bones, the curtain will rise
tonight at 8 o'clock in the high
school auditorium, on the long
awaited minstrels by the Mems
Brotherhood of the Presbyterian
church. The final rehearsal was held
last night, at which time the finish
ing touches were put on the per-
formance, and it is declared by those
who know that the affair will be one
of the biggest successes ever pre-
sented by local talent in the town
ship.
The various persons taking part in
the production have given up much
of thsir time to make the affair a
success and indications are that
those who attend the performance
will be repaid many times for their
trouble. Besides many tuneful musi-
cal numbers, all of them popular
songs, there will be enough comedy
to keep the audience in an uproar
from the rise to the fall Of the cur
tain. 1t is likely that many of the
jokes will be on home folks, which
always prove to be hit at affairs
of this kind.
That large crowd will be present
at the entertainment is indicated by
the fact that many tickets have been
sold. H. A. Tappen has been selected
as the interlocutor, one OF the most
important positions in the cast, and
it is said that he adds much to the
fun In the entertainment. A feature
of the evening will be q speciality by
William Roeder and Richard Forma-
doni. Mrs. Asher Fritz Randolph
will preside at the piano.
The pickaninny chorus is an added
feature, those appearing in this

the exercise of the newly-bestowed
power, Governor Roberts had pro-
tected prisoners, and had put an end
to lynching and accomplished what
they said could not be done. They
told this money changer how Mr.
Roberts had stood before white
audiences and frankly stated that if
they wanted a man as Governor who
would not see that every man, white
or black would have an equal, and fair
chance before the law-if they wanted
Governor who would not insist upon
law enforcement as it concerned all
men Of whatever race or color, they
should not elect him, for he had no
apologies to make for what he had
done. They told Bishop Carey all
this and more.
What Did this Politician" Do?
No man in or out Of Tennessee will
deny over his signature that Bishop
Carey was enthusiastic in his endorse
ment Of Governor Roberts. Said he,
You brethren will be less than men
if you do not put forth every effort to
show your appreciation to this great
Southern white man for his noble
stand" Beautiful words, but time
moves on, and the bung-hole OF the
Republican party's barrel" had a
greater charm than the 3race-pride',
Of this man we all know to be bung-
ho1er by nature, "race-prider" by
profession. Aft Taylor, the Republi-
can nominee stumped the State from
end to end, declaring his purpose to
repeal this Infamous Police Law,
which stood as a reflection upon the
integrity and honor Of the brave white
men Of this commonwealth" But
Governor Roberts, the brave man that
he was, never budged, but met his
political death like a man, and the
world will yet acclaim him mighty
hero who kept the faith" Thank
God the principles for right and
justice for which he fought and lost

and colored people residing in the fair

Notwithstanding the powerful or far
reaching influence Of Bishop Carey
and Col. De Priest in the Democratic
party in this city, we viii stand by
our colors at this time and freely and
willingly accept whatever the fates
have in store for US, though the heav-
ems fall and the sun refuses to shine
forth in all Of its brilliancy at high
noon tide and that the moon will fail
to light up the starry heavens at the
eveningtide and that the face Of the
whole earth will be enveloped in
darkness for the next one thousand
years to come.
1t is far from our intention at this
time to extensively review the shame
ful political career Of Bishop Archi-
bald James Carey, since he has resided
in Chicago for the past twenty-four
years, all that will be said at this time
Is that it is enough to cause an honest
and self-respecting man, white or
black to hang his head in everlasting
shame.
Bishop Carey, who always Iabors
under the impression that he is the be-
ginning and ending Of the twelve
million colored people i at all times
very hogish, cold and selfish whenever
there are any good positions or easy
money in sight. As an evidence of
Bishop Carey's cold-bloodedness In
politics, just as soon as the late
mayorality election drew to an end he
demanded that the head Democrats
must retain his son Davis Madison

effort III the way OF endeavoring 10 do
something for the lasting benefit of
the colored people residing in Amer

ing at Greater Bethel church, Forty
second street and Grand boulevard.
Among the many good things which
he said during his wonderful soul-in
spring oration was that the editors
of newspapers published in the inter-
est Of the colore people must lead off
in the great fight in favor Of law
and order, and in the suppression of
mobs and lynchings and all forms of
savagery in this so-called Christian
land; that the vast majority Of the

race were too timid and lacked the
moral courage to successfully fight
the battles of the colored race

meetings for Taylor when denying
such rights to those who championed
the cause Of Roberts. 1t was money

Of his District, he is the same ungodly,
unscrupulcus money hog that he is in
politics. Such men as Bishop "A. j,
Carey should be ostracized and boy
cotted by the laymen of the church.
An announcement Of his coming
should be sign to decent people to
remain at home, or attend some other
church.
The above scathing article is from
the pen of Ira T. Bryant, editor Of
The Young Allenite, Nashville, Tenn.
This newspaper is published in the
interest Of the young people in general
and especially those connected with
the A. M. E. Church and editor
Bryant is prominent member Of that
church and brother Bryant plainly
states that he resides in Nashville

land on him whenever he is good and
ready; that he is ready to battle unto
the death with him through the col
umns Of the public press.

Carey and Col. Oscar DePriest, the
two new colored boss Democrats oI
this city and state are liable TO call
