NEGROES FROM SOUTH
MAYOR M'LENDON RECEIVES
COPY OF RESOLUTION BY
EAST ST. LOUIS COUNCIL.

Thousands of southern negroes who
migrated to the north, many OF whom
went from this section OF Georgia, are
without employment with the proba-
bility that they will experience great
want mad suffering.
In the city OF East St. Louis, ILL.,,
alone there are 1000 jobless negroes,
according to the Daily Journal, OF that
place and so serious has the situation
become that the city council OF East
St. Louis has adopted resolutions set
ting forth the real situation and adj
vising negroes to remain in the south
Mayor A. L. McLendon, OF Daw
son, has received copy OF the reso-
buttons, which were passed on July
18th, as follows:
Whereas, it is reported that in the
southern states especially in the large
negro settlements, that statements
have been made and circulated to the
effect that there is a demand Tor labor
in the north, at high wages, and in
some cases inducements OF different
kinds have been presented to the ne
gro population. which has caused a
large immigration OF negroes from
the south t. the north; and,
. "Whereas, the city OF East St, Lou
is has and is receiving many OF these
negroes. and a large number OF labor
ers are now out of employment and
appealing for work, with no demand
for labor OF any kind in this vicinity;
and.
Whereas, if the exodus of the ne
gro population of the south continues
it will cause great suffering and want
during the remainder Of this year,
especially during the winter months;
therefore, be it resolved by the coun-
Gil of the city OF East St. Louis
That efforts be made to advise the
people of the south the true condi-
tons as exist in reference to labor de-
mands, and use consistent efforts to
offset and prevent any further mis-
representations that induce the ne
groes to seek the north for employ
ment.
BE it further resolved, that copies
of this resolution be printed and dis
tributed through the southern states
to advise and offset the former mis-
representations that have been made
to its people that has caused the large
exodus of negroes"
The resolutions are signed by NJ.

JUDGE EDWARDS
TELLS OF CONVENTION
SPEAKS BEFORE KIWANIANS
OF HIS EXPERIENCES AND
IMPRESSIONS THERE.

An interesting feature OF the meet
ing of the Kiwanis club Friday night
was talk by Judge NJ c. Edwards,
in which he related his experience as
delegate at the recent democratic
national convention in New York,
He began with the time he left
Dawson and told OF the trip by water
to New York, and how the Georgia
delegation began making preparations
for their campaign as soon as the
steamer was underway On their ar
rival at New York the Georgians were
given an automobile ride over the city,
which ended at the mayors office
where they were all introduced to
Mayor Hylan On the same night the
mayor entertained delegates number
ing $500 at the Hotel Commodore.
This hotel is said to have the largest
ball room OF any hotel in the world.
There the guests were given an ele-
CANT banquet and mementos were
placed at the plate OF each. These
little trophies included m
bust statue of the mayor. Individual
boxes Of cigars and cigarettes were
also at each plate, as well as little
booklet FUSED as a place caro-, Whlch
gave much needed information to the
visitors.
In most interesting way Judge
Edwards told OF the proceedings OF
the convention after the delegates as
sembled in Madison Square Garden
of the trouble in making the platform,
the proceedings on the convention
floor, how they balloted for a long
time with hardly any change in the
vote of most of the states and how
at last an effort to make McAdoo and
Smith the nominees failed and how
Davis was nominated.
A duet by Mrs. W. A. Fisher, OF
Tampa, and Mr.. w A. Baldwin, OF
Dawson, was much enjoyed Mrs. Ar
thur Hamilton played the accompani-
ment. The Kiwanians have a new
piano which will be paid for by dill
ferent methods other than subscrip-
tions. A street dance for the colored
populace is planned, the club to get
a part OF the proceeds.
No reports were made by the COM
mittees, and the meeting CLOSED with
a song by the club.

Have You This Habit?
BY Margaret Morrison
TIMOTHY RUGGLEs

IF A stranger wanted to know the
= pools where the trout were In the
spring, or his wife the hidden slopes
where the first arbutus grew under the
leaves, they asked Tim Ruggles. To
Tim at fifteen, every square foot of
his granfather's broken-down farm was
familiar and dear. When his grand
father died and the farm was sold, 1t
was to the boy as If the end of the
world had come. He did not at all
understand. Then he heard someone
explaining the old mans bankruptcy
by his never having been "able to look
ahead"
From that moment, fifteen-year-old
Tim began to take count Of stock AL
though he felt as IL he could not live
away from the farm, he suddenly
realized that the village offered him
no future He contemplated the few
dollars that were his inheritance, and
took temporary job at the country
store. After six months he made up
his budget: so much for railroad fare,
so much for living while on the hunt
for employment, so much for margin.
Then he said good-by to his river and
his woods for many years.
In the big city wholesale house he
deliberately set himself to work. For
year he ran errands. He was prompt
and reliable In all his work, and
through contacts and reading he stud
led up both fundamentals and fine
points of the jobbing business.
When vacancy occurred In the
sales department, he applied for It and
proved himself worthy of trial. Then
he made good in 1t. So, as he worked
at the present, his eye was always on
the future. He had acquired the habit
of Cooking ahead" And as he looked
ahead, he went ahead.
Eventually he married. When his
son was seven years old. he heard
that his grandfather's old farm was
again on the market. He and his
wife and the boy made an excursion
over one Sunday to go TO see 1t. 1t
was the first time he had been back
since he himself had been boy. They
hunted in the gnarled orchard for the
little red apple tree that bore such
sweet fruit They climbed the high
hill from which glimpse of the sea
was to be caught They even dlscov-
cred up in the garret dried bunch OF
herbs that through all vicissitudes had
hung undisturbed upon the rafters.
'ffow wish we could AFFORD to buy
It'll" sighed Tim Ruggles' wife, looking
at their son.
Eve have bought It." said Tim. Il
knew you'd want 1t when you saw 1t.
I've been saving up for this day ever
since was fifteen--ever since began
TO look ahead"

Is there any need of asking where
the new homes are being built? All
the new houses along the poor
raods may be counted on the fingers
of one hand; those along the good
roads are legion With an auto

to make travelling reasonably COM

The sections that have good roads
have them because some system has
