Aug 20—Out in Carbondale, Illinois, on the main line of the Illinois Central Railroad, in a telegraph lx>opi. there sits a veteran telegraph operator, who ha« lieen tap ping out the Morse alphabet (or nearly fifty years. To be more accurate, on Decemlier 24, 1874, J. II Kelley was given his chance to master the myster ies of the Morse code and the tele graph key. Since that time he baa I well a telegrapher for the tllinois Central. We met him last week. He was taking his first vacation. Hale and hearty, with every white glisten ing tooth that God had given him. and with an everlasting smile, Kelley, who is now 73 years uf age —and he looked like 37 instead of 73—grasped our hands in a grip that was without a tremble, and said "Howdy* 'in true Illinois sty! On *u* Illinois Central Kelley han dles about 31 trains a day. which he has dispatched through his block for years and years, without a single mis hap. Little do travelers know, as they journey this route from the heart of Mississippi Valley to Chicago, when the semaphores at Carbondale swing up and down, and the red signals change to green and yellow, that a colored telegrapher has given their tiain the O. K. on its thundering way They ride on in ignorance at what they would consider an impossibility it they knew; and the Illinois Central officials, who have been wise to the i it nation for the full fifty years of Kelley's telegraphic existence, know that Kelley is merely an efficient, tried and true telegrapher. They've forgot ten that he is a Negro. Kelley has economic brains as wed as telegraphic speed and ability, and out of his $200 per month salary, lie's managed to become the owner of a $22.000 home at 546 East 46th atreet, Chicago, where you can find him your self on rest days, if you want to verify what we've just told you about him.
