Monday morning Mayor MeXeal, who is chairman of the City Board of Education, and the Tribui/o editor, attended an educational rally by special invitation at the Pearson colored school. The object of the meeting was to formulate a plan of action to secure a comfortable and commodious school building for the colored youth of Pearson and vicinity. The idea is the cooperation of both races in placing the City Board of Education in a position to secure funds from the Rosen wald School Building Foundation to help in the work. The meeting was opened with a song from the older pupils of the school, viz: “Swing low sweet Chariot.” It was rendered with that enthusiasm characteristic of the colored race. Prof. Brown explained the object of the meeting in a short, but very appropriate address, ami asked Mayor MeXeal to act as chairman of the meeting. In assuming the chair Mayor MeXeal said that the object of the meeting was a proper one —that the condition of the present build ing emphasized the fact that a new and larger building and larger school grounds were needed for the educational interest of the colored children of this community, and while opportunity to secure out side funds is in sight is the time for the colored people to wake up and do their very best in raising funds aud pledging labor in order to meet the requirements necessary to get the Rosenwald donation. The editor was called on and made a short talk and suggested the necessary requisites to success: His first inquiry, “Does the color ed people want better educational facilities!” met with a hearty affirmative response. His second inquiry, “Are they ready and will ing to put their shoulders to the wheel in raising SSOO in cash, in addition to their pledges for la bor?” and they agreed they could and would do so. He said this was a work in which all could engage in heartily and they should do it for the betterment of themselves and their children, as well as the general community interests. It had been agreed they were able to do the work, and why not proceed in a systematic way to do it? A new Board of Trustees were selected, viz: George Duncan, Charlie Fillmore, Tom Edwards, Bright Best and Lit Williams. Also a committee was appointed to see where a four to eight acre tract of land, suitable for school pur poses, could be secured, and at what price. The editor was asked to bead a committee of tbre'e white men, favorable to the project, to act in an advisory capacity. He agreed to do so, aud assured them that he did it cheerfully. A colored minister, pastor of the Methodist church, who was pres ent was called and he congratulat ed the colored people upon the Weak Back Mrs. Mildred Pipkin, of R. F. D. 8, Columbia, Tenn., says: “My experience with Cardui has covered a number of years. Nineteen years ago ... I got down with weak back. 1 was run-down and so weak and nervous I had to stay in bed. 1 read of The Woman’s Tonic and sent for it. I took only one bottle at tlvat time, and it helped me; seemed to strengthen and build me right up. So that is how I first knew of Cardui. After that, ... when 1 began to get weak and ‘no account’, l sent right for Cardui, and it never failed to help me.” if you are weak and suffering from womanly ailments, Cardui may be just what you need. Take Cardui. It has helped thousands, and ought to help you. At all druggists’ and dealers’. _____ E» work they # had undertaken with such a favorable outlook for sue cess, and exhorted them to push forward with a will to work. Suc cess would crown their effort if they had a mind to work and were faithful to the trust God had re posed in them. The meeting then closed with a song by the older pupils of the school, entitled “It is me that needs help.” It was a strong ap peal in song for help to build this new building for their use and for future generations.
