TKat GTanville T: Woods, another Negro born in Columbus, Ohio, April 23, 1856 was the inventor of the automatic airbrake, the telegraphic device for transmitting messages between moving trains, and the ^'Third Rail" device now in use on the New York City subway system.

Rollieux left th^ U.S. because of Jim Crow and died in Paris, France, Oct. 8, 1894 So Folks don't be timid dc claring yourself a member of the black race.
