MONTGOMERY, Ala, July 19.- An interesting account of what one southern, county is doing in providing educational opportunities for negro children has been furnished the state depa rtment of education by the Federal Board for Vocational Education.

ESTATE
 AT SELMA SOLD
 TO GEORGIA MAN
New Buyer Will Divide Part Of It Into Build
 ing Lots

Rixey, 40 years ago for the site of charity hospital with the provis that it should always be used as such and in default of this, the property should revert, to the Featherstone heirs. A few years passed and headed by Mrs. s. F. Hobbs ST., and a small band of noble and ca pablo Selma women, the present hand some structure was built. MuSh of the money was raised by the wOrk of the women. An operating room with suita- ble apparatus was installed and the doc tors of Selma used the hospital when an operation was necessary, and many charity patients were cared for.
 Many years ago, however, Selma for feited the right to own the lot by not maintaining a charity hospital.
 Dinkins Military School has occupied the place for several yeals and will re main there one more year at least.
 The united charities, tie organization founded by Mrs. Hobbs, that together with Mrs. Albert Parish, Mrs. Fuller ton Hooper and others. managed the charity hospital, was given half of the purchase price by W. H. Collins of Rome, Ga, the new owner and also the rents which have accured since it has been used for other purposes.
 Mir. Collins states that he will build several attractive bungalows on the lot, but will leave the main building stand ing which will be renovated.
 Collins will give the city ri. ht of way through the property when King street is extended to Dallas avenue.
