Athens Republique

The Athens Republique Devoted to the Religious, the Educational, and the Industrial Development of the Colored Race Official Organ for the Jeruel Baptist Association Vol. V. ATHENS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1923 No. SMALL BUT NEWSY Devoted to the Religious, the Official Org Vol. V. ATHENS, G Vol. V. Women Voters Make Appeal. (Lincoln Service) Washington, Nov. 23, 1923. The National League of Women Voters has made an appeal urging all "true, loyal American citizens, whatever their political faith may be," to join in an effort to get out to vote at every election, that decisions effecting "town, country, State or Nation shall be made, not by a minority, but the majority of the voters. This appeal, which should be of special interest to colored women, was made public through Harriet Tayler Upton, Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Republican National Committee, who hopes to get out at least 75 per cent of the vote in the next national election. Doctors Robbed (Lincoln Service) Philadelphia, Nov. 22, 1923. An Item in the New York News indica es that robbers are now turning their attention to the doctors. In some circles this method of retaliation is considered to be a very unfortunate turn of affairs because of the probable effect it may have upon the price of vol-stead prescriptions. However justified the robbers may feel, and disregarding the general atti- --- tude of the public, which believes that "Turn about is fair play," it is hoped that the competition between these two professional groups will soon end. When Discouraged Remember That=-- (Lincoln Service) The more the Christian were persecuted the stronger they grew, and that it took forty centuries to prepare mankind for the historc develop of the Christianity it enjoys today. The Apostle Peter was crucified at Rome with his head downward. Paul was beheaded by Emperor Nero. James the Greater was beheaded at Jerusalem. James the Loss was thrown from a pinnacle of the temple and then beaten to death with a fuller's club. Andrea was bound to a cross and preached the gospel to his persecutors until he died Phillip was scourged and crucified. Bartholomew was flayed alive. Matthews was slain by a sword Thomas was killed with a lance Simon Zelotes was crucified in Great Britain. Jude was shot to death by arrows. Matthias was stoned, and then beheaded. Mark was dragged through the streets of Alexandria. Barnabas was stoned to death. Luke was hanged on an clive tree and John was put in a caldron of boiling oil. And also remember that civili- HELP IT GOW No.3 zation is cumulative and that the peoples races or nations that are up today are down tomorrow. They contribute their mite and pass from the scene of action as did the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans, whose civilization was passed on through conquest to the Britons, whose evolution was of slow growth. This is the civilization we enjoy today, and which we in turn will improve and pass on to others. HAITFS PRODUCTION AND WEALTH SHOW MARKED ADVANCE. (Lincoln Service) Port Au Prince, Nov. 23, 1923. In marked contrast to the conditions prevailing in the major ty of islands of the West Indies and the Latin-American countries of Central America. the end of the fiscal year in Haiti, which is under temporary American control, shows gratifying and substantial progress. The fiscal year that closed on September 30, according to the annual report submitted by the American high commissioner to Haiti, showed a total income of $6,496,899 from the collection of customs and internal revenues, or an increase $1,165,998 over the previous fiscal year. Haiti is essentially an agriculural country. Because of marvelous fertility of the soil and the ideal climatic conditions, any- 2 thing with life in it will grow. It has been reported by those who have investigated the agricultural possibilities of Haiti that shrubs and small trees shoot up out of the walls ruined buildings, nourished only by the mortar between the bricks, the air, the dew and the rain; that a riot of vegetation is seen in the uncultivated portions of the country, and that neglected fields are speedily covered with a thick growth of tropical verdure. All tropical fruits, flourish, -- the orange, the shaddock, the pineapple, the mango, the alligator pair, the plaintain, and the fig banana. It is claimed that Haiti is one of the best banana countries in the tropics. Although Haitian cotton brings a much higher price on the European market than ordinary cotton the cultivation of this plant has been sadly neglected. Sugar cane flourishes whether it is cultivated or not, and grows on almost indefinitely without being replanted, reproducing itself year after year. The great staple product of Haiti is coffee. It supplies the bulk of the revenues of the government, and the mergre demands of the simple peasantry which constitutes about 95 percent of the population. Women and children gather it and take it to the seaport towns on their heads and on the backs of burros. Although an effort is now being made by the American government to make a market for this coffee in the United States, practically all of it is shipped to European countries. The cultivation of coffee, however, not unlike cotton, has been greatly neglected by the natives, except in small patches around the cottages. Most of the crop is the result or the reproduc- THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE tion from fallen berries, and the crop has varied from year to year only through influences like a variation in rainfall. Since the American intervention in 1915 there has been a revival in agricultural pursuits and a careful survey has been made of the need of agricultural instruction. Highways are being constructed and reforms established that will rapidly develop Haiti morally, socially, politically and economically. According to the select committee that made an inquiry into the American occupation and administration of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, few of the Haitians had ever seen a plow before the American intervention. The peasant class had never seen and did not know how to use a shovel, and when a load of road-bullding machinery, including 60 wheelbarrows, was docked, the natives carried them on their heads, instead of wheeling them to the place where the road-building was in progress. There can be no question as to the benefit to Haiti of a temporary American occupation. With the development of her natural resources; with the establishment of thoroughly equipped public schools; with the revival of agricultural pursuits, the building of a railroad, the construction of hospitals and the suppression of the revolutionary propensities of the political leaders, Haiti will eventually be the garden spot of our western civilization.

CO., Box 499 Springfield, Ohio December 8.1923 Republique Celebrates Its Fourth Anniversary (Delayed) Pursuant to arrangements on November 19th (Show night) the meetings marking the fourth year of the establishment of the Athens Republique were begun at Ebenezer Baptist Church. A few friends gathered, in spite of the great excitement that was going on in King avenue, and a collection of one dollar was taken. Rev. W. A. Fountain, Jr., pastor of the First A. M. E. Church, donated $1.00 in lieu of the meeting set for that place. On Thursday night, November 22d, in a dowupour of rain we assembled at Hill's Chapel. The choir furnished music and then the object of the meeting was stated by the editor. Then the pastor, the Rev. E. H. Harris, delivered a strong appeal in defense of the Republique. The collection on this night was $3.00. The next night we went to Friendship Baptist Church, East Athens. The Rev. R. G. Cash, of Madison, Ga., a great friend of the editor's and an ardent supporter of all that makes for advancement of the race, was the principal speaker. An interesting program that had been arranged by Mrs. Beatrice McShepherd, was rendered. Hon. John Colvin, the celebrated East side orator, was master of ceremonies. Collection $2.45. So ended the anniversary attempt. We were to have gone to New Town Saturday and to Saint Paul Sunday, but did not care to spend the effect for what we believed would be the result if our experience in the other meetings was worth anything. THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE December 8, 1923 We wish to thank those who assisted us in this greae effort, and do here commend them to the great Equalizer and Righteous Judge who will judge us all right on the great day. Should we deduct this miniature amount from our outstanding accounts, the balance would be nearly $5,00.00. We pray that He will teach us that honorable method by which our people can be aroused to full sense of their obligations to those institutions that are essential to their growth and prosperity and that they will see to it such institutions come into their own. Jefferson News Last Monday night a reception was given for Rev. C. C. Ealey at the parsonage. The dining-room was beautifully decorated and the table richly spread. Tuesday night the members of Paradise Church and friends gave the pastor a surprise which they called a "shower". Pastor Ealey thanked them heartily and said, "This is too much for a shower, it must be a storm." Mis- Geneva Davis is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Pope in Athens. Miss Julia M. Ealey, who teaches school in Athens, spent the week-end at home with her parents. We are very glad that our same pastor, Rev. Euley, returned to us for another year.

EVVIE ROBINSON, President. Corrington=Horton (Delayed) The marriage of Mrs. Sarah L. Horton(formerly Sarah L.Saggus) and Mr. Henry Corrington, both of Birmingham, took place in that city Nov. 12, 1923, the Rev. Mr. J. W. Goodgame officiating. Among the great cloud of witnesses were Mrs. Minnie L. Alexander, of Athens, Ga., (the bride's sister) and Mr. J. W. Corrington, the groom's father. The bride was hastily attired in a costume of silk lace over satin, and the orderly arrangement of this garbe together with her brown skin made her appear like an Ethiopian queen. The marriage took place at the home of Mrs. Janie M. Heard, a cousin of the bride. The home was beautifully decorated with ferns, cordons and other pot flowers for the occasion. Many handsome presents were received among which were: 1 range, Linoleum art square, 1 living room art square, 1 Roker center table and several sets of bedding and table linen. The abode of Mr. and Mrs. Corrington will be at 718 Charles st., Birmingham, where he groom had transformed his joyhood aircastles into a beautiful bungalow. The Shriners, of which organization he is a member, furnished the supplies and the Eastern Stars served. December 8.1923 Mr. Corrington, along with the Shriners is a member of the K. of P's., Masons, Odd Fellows and Elks. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Corrington a long and happy life. BE IT KNOWN THAT The editor of the Republique is married! He left Athens Wednesday night, November 28, 1928 and spent his Thanksgiving along the great public highways in Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia, reaching Salem at twilight. He and Miss Katherine J. Bolden, a teacher in that city, were united in Holy Wedlock December 1, 1923. Among the witnesses to the cermony were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Elam, Miss Hattie Myers and Mrs. R. H. Ashburn. The Rev. Mr. R. H. Ashburn, pastor Shiloh Baptist Church, that city, officiated. On Wednesday night, Nov. 21st the Jones Cafe was radiant as never before. Mr. Jones, proprietor, was in splendid humor all day long and his ever devoted companion took advantage of this by having him remove any cob webs that might appear and scrub the place from back to front. And so he, Shortie and Tobe worked. Mr. Jones was fooled to the show where Mr. Wright obligated him by making him ticket master for the evening. While this was going on the others tugged away with the orderly arrangement of a table for sixteen. Finally when Mr. Jones came in, being shocked beyond expression, he gave greatest vent to his feeling with pleasant smiles.
