PUBLIC LEDGER WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1918 x a m? o DEPARTURE OF COL- ORED TROOPS. were (By B. R. Smith.) Tf f nr anv reason there those who questioned the patriotism of the negroes of Granville county, their fears were made to vanish when they saw the spirit manifest ed by the 60 drafted men who left for Camp Grant, 111., on the 30th day of March. From the first, call of the men at the Court House, by the Local Board at which time every men answered present except one, and he was con fined to bed, until they left Oxford, these men distinguished themselves by their conduct and the spirit of willingness to sacrifice their all, that Democracy might win. Proud indeed must be the race whose blood has helped to purchase every American victory. And we have no doubt that these men will more than maintain the usual of their fathers, both in valor and in loyalty. The Local Board spared no pains nor money to make the men com fortable in their travel. The Board expressed itself as more than pleas ed with the showing of the men. Thomas Mammie, a student of Mary Pottery school, was appointed Cap tain, Leonard Taylor, a graduate of Mary Potter school, 1st lieutenant and William Waugh, second lieuten ant. On Friday before leaving the 60 men met a committee of the colored Auxiliary of the Red Cross in the Red Cross room, where the blanks for home relief were filled out. Im mediately after this the men were taken to the main auditorium of Mary Potter school, where under the auspices -of the colored auxiliary an apropriate program was rendered. Addresses were delivered by Judge Devin, Drs. Shaw, Booher and Anderson. Hon. N. P. Cheatham and Prof. Memck. The Testements were presented by Rev. Maile. Music was furnished by Mary Potter band. Refreshments were then served in the Model Kitch en. On the same night a sumpteous reception was given the young men at the home of Mrs. Georgie Poole. We take this opportunity on be half of the colored Auxiliary to thank the people of the different churches for the contribution to this cause. The total collection was $25.62. Of this $9.47 was spent for Testaments and $5.00 for entertain ment. The balance to be turned ov er to the Red Cross. Saturday, promptly at the ap pointed hour the 60 men assembled in the Court House to receive their final instructions. After they were given lunches, the Local Board with these men marched to the Southern station led by the Mary Potter band. Several hundred colored people were at the station to bid them good bye." We hate to see them go and yet we would not have them stay when duty calls. In porpotion as we train, and send to France, soldiers made of such material, do we hasten peace and make victory for Democ racy a certainty. MORE THAN EIGHTEEN MILLION IS N. CAROLINA'S ALLOTMENT.
