that Gilberts head had been BASH
ed in, his ribs crushed and leg
broken, indicating that he had
been beaten to death by mob
of several.
The Atlanta office of the FBI
was given information that re-

father and a son, have been miss

Willie Davidson, brother of the
alleged killer, was reported to be
in jail in Columbus unable to
turn over from a severe beating
given him. The wife of the alleg-
ed killer had been reported releas-

Mrs. Gilbert was said to have
returned to her Troup County
farm, with the determination Of
completing the crop already be-

expenses.
The major workshop, which
would last for two weeks and ac-
comodate 125 people, would cost
$4,000 in travel and expenses.
The plan further provides for
seven technical agricultural work
shops with fourteen leaders and
twenty-five conferees, which would
cost $4,000.
In addition, it provides for fif-
teen scholarships a year for the
six-year period at a cost of 500,
600.
The committee said it believed
that its plan would provide more
efficient leaders in vocational ag-
riculture teachers, farm extension
agents, farm security workers,
and other related personnel.
Such plan, the committee sta
ted, would promote and strength
eth graduate work in technical
agriculture work in the colored
Immigrant colleges and make gra-
duate instruption in technical ag-
riculeure available to much
greater number of men desiring
to do such graduate work.
Expansion of the curricuia of
the land-grant colleges as we'll as
their total educational program
was another benefit seen by the
committee if its plan was placed
into effect.
An authoritative source said
the plan had been accepted by the
Office of Education with little
variations" and pointed to the
similarity in the amounts of $168,
900 recommended by the commit
tee and the $165,O00 approved by
that office.

The civil wah was still being
fought here last Monday as the
United Daughters Of the Confed-

of the Capitol to pay homage to
Jefferson Davis, president of the
Confederacy during the civel war.
Condemning Abraham Lincoln
as an "intriguer" who brought a.

Davis as patriot, Charles C Tan
sill, professor of history at George
Town University, principal speak
er at the ceremonies, said that
the GLORIOUS Confederate flag is

Prof. Tansips denunciation of
Lincoln was so acid that it was
too much oven for Representa-

U. S. To Spend
$4,000 On Land
Grant Colleges
By James l.. Hicks
NNPA Staff Writer

Washington, d. C. The United
States Office of Education has
completed plans to spend $165,00O
for the improvement Of agricultu-
raj instruction in colored land
grant colleges, it was authoritat-
lively learned last Fridey.
While the agency itself declined
comment, and land grant colleges
presidents brought here to COM
plete the plans refused to discuss
the matter, it was learned that
the money will be used to conduct
a series of workshops for agri-
cultureal instruction in the land
grant colleges with a view toward
making them more proficient and
eventually bringing them up to
minimum standards required by
first elias. colleges and universit-
les.
Astudy of the technical staffs
of the land grant colleges made
last year showed that Al per cent
of their general agricultural staff
members did not meet the mini
mum requirements of a masters
degree which. is required in first
class colleges and universities.
Approval to spend the money
in the training of the staffs of
the calared colleges came as the
result of a two year study.
In 1915 a committaee consis-
ting of W. S. Davis, president of
Tennessee State College, William
H. Gray, president of Florida Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical College
and Lawrence Davis, president of
the Arkansas Agricultural and
Mechanical College, was appoint
ed to make t study of technical
agriculture in the colored land

their findings report to the an

Facts About Beer
THE ORIGION OF "BRIDAL"
u. s. Brewers Foundation, Inc.


. Take the society page Of any
newspaper, daily or weekly, and
you will find that one of the words
most frequently used is bridal.
Consult any dictionary and you
will learn, if you do not already
know, that the word originally
was bride-ale. It had its origin
in ancient England when ale was
the feature of almost every type
of festival. Many of these festivals
were for Embarrassing purposes,
such as tithe-ales, give-ales, and
church-ales to facilitate the collec-
ton of parish dues and funds for
needed repairs.
The merriest of all of them was,
of course, the bride-ale. The setting
was as festive as possible. Presents
filled the tables and families and
friends of the bridal couple mingled
gaily in their holiday dress while
the bride herself looked her very
best as she poured ale for the
guests.
Modern wedding breakfasts and
the custom of wedding presents are
said to have originated with bride
aleS.
Beer and ale have for centuries
been closely associated with pleas
ant events and happy surroundings
And today, as in the past, beer
and ale have their traditional roles
as the beverage of moderation,
sociability and hospitality.

THE TRACK RUNS ON
Rambling Thoughts By The
Philosopher

Out in the country the other day
I stood on the hilltop and saw the
railway track, like a silver ribbon,
running away into the distance.
The sun was shining brightly. I
could perceive a train many miles
away. At night I stoid upon the
same hill and could see the track
only for a little distance; beyond
that it was swallowed up in the
shadows. But knew that the track
runs on.
There are high moments in life
when we can see the far reach of
righteousness. And there is many
a dark hour when doubt and un-
faith settle down all around us.
Indeed our moments of vision
are comparatively few. Day after
day all we can do is to keep the
revelations of those moments in
our memory and plod on through
the fog and obscurity, trusting
more to faith than to sight.
We cannot abide on the peaks.
Most of our journey is through the
valley.
The merchant at his desk must
keep in mind his larger plans even
when details would deny them.
The sailor must go on dead reck-
oning when there are no stars by
which he can set his course. But
he knows the stars are still there.
Even in love we come all too
rarely to the mountains of trans
figuration and most of the time we
must trudge grimly forward with
hope, believing what we have once
seen and hoping for what we shall
see again.
Underneath the crowding evil
dences of the power of evil every
man must believe in those eternal
and far more potent cosmic laws
of good.
Did you once glimpse a great
and beautiful love burning like
shekinah?
However gross may be the pres
ent darkness you must believe that
the fire still burns. The track runs
on.

Even prior to his campaign for
public office, he spoke out loudly
for the repeal of anti-labor legis-
lation. The Taft-Hartley law he
has labeled "a vicious whip in the
hands of the employers, deliberate
ly designed to break~.the Ameri-
can labor movement"
He stands for improved trans
portation on a public ownership
basis, new Municipal Railway
equipment financed by bond issues,
and a high degree of personnel
efficiency without discrimination
against women and minorities.
His position on these and all
public issues prove he means what
he says when he advocates par
ticipation in the daily lives of
the people-even by ministers.

Cattle and Sheep Men Will
Attempt to axe Over All
Federal Lands in the West

slider the value of the National
Forests from the standpoint OF
watershed, timber, grazing, min
ing and recreational uses, including
hunting and fishing"
"Our association" Beaman said,
"believes that there are other
organizations in addition to itself
who feel very much sighted and
indignant at the lack of considera-
ton in this matter of administra-
ton of our National Forests"
The scheduled hearing was sup
posed to bring out into the open
complaints stemming from stock
men and sportsmen concerning the
use of public lands for grazing and
recreation purposes.
Beaman's group has scheduled a
public hearing at North Phoenix
High School auditorium at 1:3O
pm. on Nov. 1. He invites all
citizens who want to present argu-
mentS to counter the selfish land
grabbing tactics of the large stock
men in the West.
All workers are interested in the
program of the Game Protective
Association for practically all of
the reasons mentioned. We like t0
hunt, we like to fish, and we like
to feel that we can take our fami-
lies to OUR national forests for
vacation recreation that we can
not afford to purchase in other
places. We urge all members of
organized labor to assist in every
way to defeat the aims of the cat
tie and sheep barons to rob us of
our heritage. We know what they
will do to us whenever the oppor-
tunity affords-and we owe them
nothing.

The stage is being set in Wash
ington today for the greatest real
estate grab since Ceasar annexed
Gaul to the Roman Empire.
And, in the meantime, the Ari-
Zona Game Protective Association
invites all persons interested in
expressing themselves on the ad-
ministration of National Forests
to attend a meeting here Nov. 1.
The action came after the Bar
rett Subcommittee, of the House
. ePublic Lands Committee, cancelled
a scheduled meeting in Phoenix
on that same date.
More than 145,OOO,OOO acres of
public lands are at stake. The
grabbers are the stockmen of the
west who, not satisfied with run
ming these valuable acres down by
over-graZing, seek to purchase them
for a nominal sum and in the
future avoid the conservation re-
strictions of government range in
Spectors. d.
James A. Beaman, president OF
the game association, said that al
though the hearing in Arizona had
been cancelled, the stockmen OF
the state had been invited to send
their written report so that it
could be added to records already
in the hands of Secretary of Agri-
culture Clinton P. Anderson"
Price per acre mentioned in Salt
Lake City and Denver earlier this
year ranged from nine cents to
$3.50 per acre.
The desire for this land has re-
suited in a wedding of two ira
ditionaly hostile groups, sheepmen
and cattlemen:
1t is their belief that they are
faced with economic extention"
which has foStered this plan to
acquire lands now belonging to
the taxpayers of the United States.
The Taylor Grazing Act was
passed in 1884 by a Congress which
needed warnings of Department of
Interior officials that the grazing
lands of the West were headed
down the same road as the in
famous dust bowl lands of the
MiddleWeSt.
The stockmen, while seemingly
going along with the grazing re-
strictions the act imposed, emascu-
lated the law by lobbying budget
cuts which reduced the staff of
the department so the checking of
ranges has been virtually impos-
sible.
Beaman urged the public to 'con-
