forbidding little hamlet.
~ Pounded by unceasing sea
winds, its brown, native stone cottages

pearance as the golf course in their
front yard.
Americas Ryder Cup players and
others in the British open are beef1ng
pretty earnestly about the amenities
OF Carnoustie's one modern hotel
where they are billeted. There's a
24-hour scramble among them and
their wives to get a chance at the
four bath rooms on each floor.
This probably will be the last open
tournament here. as members Of the

CTAUNTON, Va.-Membership in
the Shepherds Golf Club at
Hugo, Colo, came high at the
turn OF the century The re-
quirement: Provide and maintain a
nine-hole golf course on your own
ranch.
There were nine members in the
club. all of them ranchers raising
cattle or sheep
The early golf courses in that cattle
country were not the immaculate lay
outs known to sportsmen today. Dis
carded tin cans were used for cups,
and the fairways were marked with
skulls OF cattle and antelope.
Dan Barksdale, a cattleman, per-
fected scheme for leveling the
greens" He took 3O-foot railroad
rail, anchored it in the middle,
hitched team of horses to one end
and had them drag the rail around
and around until all the humps in
the circle had been eliminated. All
the greens were of sand

COL. HAMP, a native Of England,
who came to the United States
in 1877, probably introduced golf in
Colorado-certainly in the vicinity
OF Hugo. Returning to England in
1889 for visit, he found that coun-

enthusiastically. He played there and
brought a supply Of clubs back to
the United States.

Hamp. Col, Hamp laid out nine

WARNING TO NEGRO VOTERS

Among the many communications which have reach
ed the Tribune office this week is from citizen who
warns coored voters that of the candidates seeking
nomination in the primary election may be affiliated with
the Black Legion and Ku Kux Khan. The communication
reads as follows:
"n view of the present expose of HUGO BLACKS af
faton with the Ku Klux Khan heed this warning There
are candidates for City Offices in the coming cleo
ton who have been in the past and endorsed by
this sinister organization. Ask questions Make in
ouiries Don't vote blndly."
We pass this communication on to our readers for
what may be worth 1t is matter which deserves con-
sderaon and careful investigation before you go to the
polls cast your ballots October s. Candidates who
members of organizations hostile to Negroes ARE not
likely out of their way to protect interests if
placed in public office Such may be elected but they
should not be elected with the aid of Negro votes
The hasty appointment and confirmation of Justice
Hugo Black as member of the U. S. Supreme Court,
clearly demonstrates what happen when the back
ground of candidates is investigated before they are
elevated to public office.

THE LABOR ISSUE IN DIXIE

From the deep South reports that Negro citizens
in certain sections of Georgia and Florida are being in
undated and coerced by white farmers and municipal
fcas who force them to work without pay for sarva
ton wages
In Miami it reliably reported that Negroes are be-
ing arrested in large numbers and tried for alleged vag
rancy The victims then sentenced prison terms of
about thirty day and put to work collecting garbage and
cleaning the city streets It said that this policy has been
adopted to supply the city with free labor funds for
paying sanitary workers have been exhausted
In some of the counties of Georgia where the cotton
crops are large and labor somewhat limited are told
that many white farmers forcing Negro cotton pckers
to work their plantations at the point of guns each
worker receiving only about eighty cents per day Force
and intimidation being used to keep the cotton
ers from going to other counties in Georgia. where plant
ers are paying higher wages-approximating $3.50 per
day
We cannot too vigorously protest against this njus-
tee toward Negro labor 1t is nothing less than form
peonage which should Immediately be discontinued
If the people of America permit Negro labor to be
abused In this manner without protest it will react
iaVoraby upon workers of other groups for the final
analysis, whatever hurts worker hurts all.
we wonder if the two big national labor unions are
aware of what is being done to Negro aborers in Florida
and Georgia, and if they plan to protest it?
The N. A. A. c. p. which is always the firing line
defense of Negro rights has already made strong pro-
TEST against the involuntary CONSUMPTION of Negro labor
georgia and Florida Such coercion of labor is vicious
practice.
