Asheville, May 27—The Asheville colored chauffeur’s club filed a certificate of incorporation in the office of J.B. Cain, clerk of Buncombe county superior court, Tuesday morning, giving as the purposes of the organization a course of training for chauffeurs “in the science and art of driving and operating motor-propelled vehicles” and stating the club is privileged to promote social intercourse among its members and guests.
This is the first club of its sort to be formed by negroes of the state, it is said. The course of instruction will be a thorough one in order that the members may give better service to their employers and the public generally.
