This is the second year they

Last year the team planted 3.5

This year they have planted

defeating the mighty A & N
Bulldogs 6 to 0.

Green Stamps when they pre-
sent their tickets for admission.
The 18 day exposition in Chi
cago is the only national cele-
bration Of the signing Of the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Alton A. Davis, executive di-
rector of the Exposition, said
arrangements were completed
today with The Sperry and
Hutchinson Company for pur-
chasers Of advance tickets to
have their souvenir stubs vail
dated at an S & H booth in the
Exposition hall. Each validat-
ed stub will be good for 10 s

The souvenir tickets he
pointed out, will sell or $1.00

charge at the gate.
Advance sale tickets will he

try within the next two weeks,
he said, and predicted that an
proximately 100000 people
would attend the show designed
to salute the achievements and
contributions of the American
Negro over the past 100 years.
Several foreign countries, the
Federal Government, and num-
Der of states will join the City
of Chicago and major Ameri-
can industries will join the City
of Chicago in portraying little
known contributions by Negro
citizens in the development of
the United States.
A highlight on opening day,
August 18th, will be the issu-
ance by the Post Office Depart

Stamp. The first stamp is to
be sold by Postmaster General
]. Edward Day.
According to Davis, the Expo
| sition's 21 theme centers will
tell the story of democracy in
action as proven by the accomp-
lishments of the American Ne
gro since his emancipation.
He added: Nowhere in the
recorded history of the people
has any group accomplished as
much in 100 years as has the
American Negro under our dem
ocratic system of government.
The Exposition will put a lie
to the Communist propaganda
line that the Negro is no better
off today than he was 100 years
ago."

Efforts to develop Gambia's

Great Britain invested more

The tiny nations economy is

Almost all Gambians are farm

Ships called "groundnutters"
steam up the Gambia to collect
the peanuts and unload them
at Bathurst, the colony's ocean
port and capital. About $4,000
tons of peanuts are exported
annually. The only other ex-

But the Negroes distinguished

At the close Of the war there
were 149 Negro regiments, COM
posed rs follows: 12O infantry;
IL heavy artillery; 10 light
artillery; and 2 cavalry - a
total Of 123,156 men. The num-
Der that had served were 1885,
OFT. But these figures are only
for two years, 1868 (when en-
hstment began) to 1866. Killed
in battle, were 36,847. The
above figures do not include
those who had served under
commanders as Butler, Hunter
and Phelps in the two years
prior to regular enlistment.
Regular Negro troops took part
in 251 engagements. AS for the
navy which saved the Union
from total defeat in the early
part of the war more than q
third of its men were Negroes.
Negro soldiers were treated
as interiors especially in the
matter of pay. White privates
got thirteen dollars a month;
white sergeants, twenty-one;
white chaplains. a hundred. AL
Negroes, including chaplains
and surgeons, only seven.
Jackson advocate., 1963-11-09

In the American Civil War,
the Negro played q role similar
to that of America in the last
World War. That is, both pro-
vided Q balance Of power that
brought victory to one side.
Without the aid Of the Negro,
there might have been no Unit
ed States now. Abraham Lincoln
said four times that without
the Negro it would be ''impos-
sible" for the North to win. This
statement is all the more trik-
ing since Lincoln, in response to
popular prejudice, steadfastly
refused at first to employ Ne
gro Troops though the South
was doing so. Instead, he want
ed to ship the Negroes away
and in 1862 had Congress to
vote 100000 to send the first
instalment to the lie de vache
in Haiti. The conoly ended in
disastrous failuer and Lincoln
sent a ship for the surviving Ne
gro deportees.
17S,975 Negro soldiers fought
in the Union Army between
1861-1865. There were 161 Ne
gro regiments as follows: 141
infantry; z cavalry; IL heavy
artillery; and light artillery.
The total number of Negroes
aiding Union Army was perhaps
twice that number.
The number of free Negroes
In the United States, who fought
on the Confederate side is not
exactly known, but there must
have been thousands. In June,
1861, Tennessee began to recruit
Negroes between the ages of 18
and so. South Carolina did the
same in 1862. In a review of
$4,000 Confederate troops held
at New Orleans on November
%, 1861, seven months after the
outbreak of war, there was one
regiment of 1400 free Negroes.
Preston Roberts, Negro, was
unofficially quartermaster of
General Nathaniel Forrest. He
was given the Cross of Honor,
the highest Confederate medal,
and until his death in 1910 was
treated in all respect like a
white man in the south.
