MARCH 4. 2920 j GOOD NEGRO GONE j -Much regret has been caused by the I death of Baxter Kelly, one of the best' known colored citizens of Florence, i !For seven years he had been employed by Swift and Company and leaves j a record of unusual faithfulness. He ; had been ill for only a few days with j influenza which developed into pneu- j monia.?The Florence Times. While it is not at all pleasant to j read of the death of anyone, it is in-1 deed gratifying to note that in an ac-1 count of the death of a present-day j negro he had been in the employ of ; one concern seven years and "leaving J a record of unusual faithfulness." It j causes us to feel that there are still j among us some of the old time type j of "darkey". The trouble with the j great majority of the present day ne-1 gro is his unreliability, and unfaith-j fulness. He will make all manner of | I promises, even declares to you that he will do so and so; that he will be j v on the job at such and such a time, j etc., only to disappoint and often se- ' riously inconvenience the party to j whom he has pledged his sendees? ! Oh, so UNRELIABLE. Another complaint is that so few i of the colored men tradesmen and ; common laborers, make little endeavor j to serve their employers advanta-j geouslv. They usually get to work! late, if at all, and when on the job I seem to think all they have to do is i to put in the hours and often sit down and watch the job instead of going at; it w ith vim, and lively energy and do-1 ing the thing that needs to be done, j Here again is unreliability coupled on j to unfaithfulness to duty. y />? /CH&ED A30U7" THREE HOi/RS Tffy/H* JO E/X T/f/S SL *HtE 7 /W 'MY BE/i/ND MY PlAMtT/At' A*OK/ PLANTING TIME SIS HERE m And in anticipate line of Including Plows, Plae I Don't waste valu out implement. 1 The world needs i I can raise this year an K i every farmer who int< Come in the first t | Kingstri Hampton Street. s;fl * He wants to and usually docs knock ! off Saturday afternoons, utterly regardless of the necessity of his em-1 ployer or the delay and inconvenience i he causes by being off the job when the time is ripe for work whether it be a business or social exigency. The man, the men, white or colored, i who disregard their promises, pledges,! in matters of large or small import, never get anywhere in the industrial I affairs of a community. And so. when j they die they are chucked away hur- j rierily and carelessly in a nearby cem- i etcry ami trials ail mere is 01 mem. No one will ever be heard to say that the deceased "leaves a record of unusual faithfulness and integrety to! duty." A good. honest, industrious negro, man or woman, who may be depended upon to do. or make a faithful effort to do the thin.es they promise and are faithful and loyal to their employers is the negro man or woman who has the respect and admiration of the community in which they live. o The ilu, is now claimed to have originated among animals (horses) and their attendants in France in the fourteenth century. It seems to be making up some lost time in this twentieth century. o Schools throughout the Fifth Federal Reserve District which includes South Carolina, have practically completed plans for the observance of National Thrift Stamp Week, March 1-6. An effort will be made to have every school boy and girl, who has not already done so, start the saving habit with the purchase of a twenty-five cent Thrift Stamp at some time during the week. Children who have already enrolled as savers will be encouraged to stick another stamp on their Thrift Cards in order to make a hundred per cent showing. There are now nearly nine thousand school savings societies in the district. Divorcement of the packers from all business not directly related to the packing of meat was made mandatory a few days ago through signature* by Chief Justice McCoy, in the District of Columbia Supreme Court of a decree filed by Attorney General 4-VtA nf p , r aimci i wii vug VVUVMAAVMW v* ..? | packers.
