Tuskegee Negro Killed When
 Team Runs Away

TUSKEGEE, Ala, June 27.-(Spe- cial. report came to Tuskegee Thursday that Walter Chesser, a prom inent druggist of Notasulga, who slash ed his throat Sunday night, will likely recover. He became despondent over failing health, it it said. Medical as- sistance was called and it is now ex- pected that he will soon be at his place of business, again.
 Negro KilIed-On Wednesday morn- ing the horse that pulls the express wagon became frightened and ran away with the wagon. In passing the team of J. J. Burke, driven by Ruben, a ne- gro porter of the Burks family, his team became unruly and Ruben was thrown from his wagon and instantly killed.
 Five Hurt In Wreck-Miss Lorene Dudley was driving her car Monday from Notasulga when it got from-un- der control and plunged over an em- bankment, turning over twice. The five occupants were all hurt, but none seriously except Mrs. Edwards. She received internal injuries and the doc tors are apprehensive of results. Mrs. Edwards had just moved to Tuskegee from Atlanta. Miss Dudley showed presence of mind by lifting on the up- turned car so that Mrs. Edwards could breath until help came from a nearby field.

 ELECTS WALLACE
Georgia Serenaders Fea- ture Weekly Entertain
 ment Program

Hunter C. Wallace was elected head of the American Business club for the next six months at a meeting in the Tutwiler hotel Friday. Others elected were H. E. Cox, first vice president J.. c. Burton, second vice president James F. Dobbins, secretary; Charles ID. Ward, treasurer ;; J. A. Boatrite, Dr. Thomas A. Snow, and Charles D. Ward, sergeants-at-arms.
 The meeting, with 70 in attendance, was one of the most enthusiastic in the history of the club and ,over- shadowed- auspiciously the membership drive which is soon to be reopened under the direction of Laurie Atkisson, Richmond, of the national body's ex- tension committee.
 Speeches by the new officials and outgoing heads, MT. Cox, H. D. Lacey, and B. NJ. DuRamus, formed hfgh lights of the program but the real fea- ture came in the introduction of the Georgia Serenaders, an orchestra of ten university students who are now on theatrical tour. Harmony produced by the band fairly stopped the show" at the hotel. Corridors leading to the private dining room were soon lined with guests and the reception accorded the selections at their completion tied anything that the democratic cOnven- tion has put out thus far.
 Plans for Ladies Night of the club to be held at Cascade Plunge W esday evening were outlined by Dr. Thomas A. Snow, in charge of arrangements. The program, in the form of dinner-dance, also schedules swimming and diving contests, in which J. K. Taylor, J. s. McDougal, and Her bert Hahn, well known local acquatic stars, will participate.
 In announcing the continuation of the clubs membership drive it was stated that the national body has of fered a prize to the member aiding in the initiation of the most men with in the next ten days. During the meeting Miss Catherine Rule gave a number of humorous negro dialect read. ings.

there as soon as they had checked their bags. But then that sort of thing hap pens at intervals. One of the most profitable weeks the village ever had was during the convention of business organization. They were all live wires. I visited Coney Island on the pre- sumably peak night. The peripatetic crowd was no stickier or denser than it always is.
 The Fifth avenue buses advertise that each carries 10,511 month. So the entire convention throng could have been transported by a single omnibus in thirty. days. The Coney Island dol lar-a-head buses cary forty to the trip and make three round trips each work. ing day. Two of them would have handled the convention in twenty days at their usual speed. A single subway train could have shuttled the convention to and fro in day.
 And the locker on could not find the convention visitors in the crowd Now and then one wore high, wide hat or violent badge. The rest of them looked just like New Workers, Even New Workers carry cameras at times. Witness the congestion of camera supply stores. The visitors did not wear the little hour-glass coats link ed together at the breast with ribbon that some New Workers affect. None of them said by heck.
 In the matter of discomfort the con. ventIon was disappointment. We were no more uncomfortable than usual.
