In continuing our perusal of the
first volume of the Evening Globe,
we find some very interesting
items. Boating on the Antietam
apparently was enjoyed by large
numbers of persons in the summer
but in the issue Of Tuesday. March
4, 1879, the editor writes that very
little is being done except by Mr..
Helfrich, the gentleman who has
built all the boats now in use. Mr..
Helfrich reported that he had had
fine row the previous evening,
and had been successful in trap
ping a large number of muskrats.
The editor called upon Mr.. ]. K.
Baker and was somewhat surpris-
ed to find that the town had so
energetic a gentleman and business
man. Mr.. Baker started cigar
factory on West Washington street,
in the spring of 1875 in very hum
BILE way, and with only few hands.
His business now grown 0879) to
quite an extensive trade, not only
at home, but has extended to the
West, and he manufactures almost
exclusively for several large es-
adjustments in Ohio. The editor
adds: I'VE take pleasure in men
tioning such enterprises as may
come under our notice from time
to time"
In the Home News column in
this same issue we find that the
1ong-pending suit of the Gruber
heirs against Mrs. Caroline V. Rob-
ertson, on the Gruber Almanack
subject, has been decided in favor
of the Gruber heirs by the Court
of Appeals of this State. This suit,
it seems, was an action brought to
restrain Mrs. Robertson from pub
fishing an Almanac by the name
of The Hagerstown Almanac" and
was claimed by the Gruber heirs
to be an infringement of their
trade mark.

CITY'S 0VERDRAFT
NEARING $4,000
Fisher Warns City Board
1t Will Grow Larger;
Deficit Seen

The City of Wilmington had a
cash overdraft of $48, 790.25 as of
Dec. 81 and will soon, for the first
time in eight years, be forced to
borrow money on tax anticipation
notes to operate the city govern
ment.
That was the picture presented
to the city commissioners at their
weekly meeting of record in the
city hall yesterday morning by W.
Louis Fisher, city commissioner of
finance, who has been critical of
the budget, drawn uo in his alb
sence, ever since it was adopted
near the beginning of the fiscal
year.
To further darken the picture,
he told the commissioners that if
they are able to collect as much
in the next six months as they did
during a corresponding period last
year, which he said he doubted
would happen, the city will have
total receipts for the year Of
$798, 600 while the budget calls for
the expenditure of $845, 900.
The expenditures to date, he
pointed out, are about in line with
the budget but are out of line
with receipts because the budget
is out of line with receipts.
]. r. Benson, city clerk and
treasurer estimated the city will
be forced to borrow $75, 900 on
bond anticipation notes within the
near future.
Through Dec. 81. the financial
statement shows, the city received
$455, 457. SO which is $35, 1884 less
than it had collected during the
same period last year when $751;
111.62 was collected.
The city has expended $780,

RADIO SERIES TO DEPICT NEGRO
CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN LIFE

A series Of educational radio programs planned
by the u. S. Office of Education and financed by a
Rosenwald Foundation grant will dramatize Negro
contributions to American life.
The programs, to be broadcast nationally, will
portray the role Negroes have played in American
education, art, science, industry, and other fields of
endeavor, U.S S. Commissioner of Education John w.
Studebaker reported.
The radio series is being prepared under the
geieral direction of Ambrose Caliver, u S. Office of
Education Specialist in the Education of Negroes
and William D. Boutwell,, Chief, Division of Radio,
Publications, and Exhibits.
Plans for the project call for transcriptions of
the programs for use in schools, colleges and by local
radio stations. The prescriptions, and radio scripts
revised as lesson units and study guides, are expected
to be used by both white and Negro schools in cours-
.es or units of instruction about Negroes in the Uni
ted States
Commissioner Studebaker said today that
this is a most important undertaking of the u S. Of
flee of Education in behalf of all Negroes who have
had a part in the development of our national cult
.ure. 1--WE shall do our utmost to report accurate and
full information about constructive activities and
accomplishment of Negroes in this radio series"
said the Commissioner. Much of this information
is not available in textbooks and in general reading

many problems of majority and minority groups"
The u. S. Office of Education will have the as
.sistance of a technical advisory committee in devel-
1ping the series of radio programs, and is seeking
advice and suggestions from Negroes throughout the
United States to be considered in making further
plans.
To be included in the series will be the Negroes
participation in: Music, literature. art, religion. en-
plcration, invention, scientific research, agriculture
industry, labor, education, civil and military service
theatrical and sports activities.

IN PUBLIC PULSE OF THE

Anti Lynch Bill

Anti Lynch BILL
Omaha: With our national def
ense program on every tongue
suppose another year will pass
with noahing done about the anti
lynch bill. According to our con-
stitution, the Fourteenth amend
ment states, mo state shall deny
to any person in its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the law"
In the bill of rights the fifth art
icle says, mo person shall be de-
prived of life, liberty or property
without due process of law" which
supposedly means trial by judge
and jury. Therefore in my estim-
alton the federal government can
prosecute any person or group of
persons for violating these provis-
ions. Why hasn't the government
done so? With all this talk Of
democracy, enforcing our laws, be-
ginning with our constitution,
would surely be a step toward just
that.
