These include Adjutant General

Governor McMullen probably will
send these names to the new Sem

the Republicans, it is not expected
to take action. Then Governor-elect
Bacon probably will send his ap-
pointments to the Senate for the
same positions.

have ruled that they serve at the

colored people have made to the
public.
Much too frequently does one see
colcred boys lettering around the
theatre and on the streets during
the hours Of both day and night.
This unOccupied leisure time affords
opportunity for mischief and temp

If they had some safe and healthy
place to go.
Direct responsibility in this cru

be shared by all the citizens Of this

This drive begins November is

that at its conclusion the full
amount may be realized and that
the work Of erecting a suitable
