ATHENS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 12, 1924 No.21 State Republican Convention Meets in Atlanta Endorses Administration of Calvin Coolidge Atlanta, Ga., April 2, 1924 The delegates to State Republican Convention began to line up their ducks Monday night, April 1st as the advance guard gathered around the Odd Fellows Building first of all to hear the voice of their great leader, Ccl. H. L. ("Link") Johnson, national committeeman. Differences of opinion existed behind the doors for several hours, and some of the delegates held grave fears as the possibility of a successful meeting. At length as the dial was pointing toward noon when the leaders were seen descending the stairs and making toward the Auditorium-Armory it was known smooth sailing was ahead. Mr. Clark Greer, (white) of Augusta, presided during the reading of the credentials and also while the permanent organization was being effected. The convention chose the following delegates: Henry Lincoln Johnson, Clarke Greer, (white) C. W. Hager, (white) Alternates: Dr. H. E. Stockbridge, (white) the famous E. W. Sherman, of the Savannah Journal, John W. Martin, (white) and A. T. Atwater, Editor of "The Rome Enterprise." Athens was honored to have one of her number, Dr. W. H. Harris, chosen chairman for the day. Clarke County had three delegates, namely Dr. W. H. Harris, Dr. I. H. Burney and Mr. W. H. Carter. The climax of this convention was reached when our national committeeman, standing hand-in-hand with Mrs. Mamie Williams, of Savannah, with becoming grace and lauage, requested the convention to endorse her (Mrs. Williams) as his associate on the national committee. This was done without a dissenting vote.

The Need of Trained Negro in Industry (Hampton Institute Press) Today as never before the Negro needs industrial leadership. The European industrial worker is not of the type which formerly came to America. This being true someone must take his place. The source of supply may be found in the American Negro. But must he be merely a substitute for the poorly equipped South European? Must he be drafted into industry only in so far as his limited powers will allow him to go, or will he through intelligent preparation become so dependable that his advancement will be limited only by the needs of industry itself? Not only must the Negro have definite training, but he also needs the driving force of organization. Through lack of co-operation much ability is wasted. It frequently happens that those who could be most helpful refuse to combine with others, with the result that the entire Negro community suffers. This is particularly true of mechanics. The Negro must begin to think in terms of co-ordination and cooperation. In twenty-five years, if he is wise, he will be the great mainstay of productive wealth in this country. He has the power to transform this tremendous opportunity into personal advantage through organization. This is not necessary in the North alone; it is particularly necessary in the South. W. F. KENNEY, OF. CHESTNUT GROVE DIES The Allied National Farm Loan Association and associated farm- 2 ers organizations in Clarke and adjacent counties sustained a great loss in the passing of W. Floyd, Kenney, of Chestnut Grove Baptist Church, who departed this life Sunday morning, March 23, 1924. Although Mr. Kenney had been in all health for a long time, his compatriots were greatly shocked at his demise as they desired that his useful services should be continued. Mr. Kenney was pay agent for the Missionary Baptist Association, Clerk of the Northwestern Baptist Association, Deacon of Chestnut Grove Baptist, president of the Allied National Farm Loan Association and also president of the Farmer's Co-operative Association. The useful life of Floyd Kenney terminated just as he completed his half century. It was grievous to all who knew and loved him, but we must yield gently to the mandates of Almighty God. His funeral was attended by his pastor Rev. C. S. Jackson and Rev. J. T. Dorsey, his former pastor. Mr. P. H. Stone, of Savannah, represented the state farmers' organizations. Miss Roena Pruitt, of the Republique, represented Lieut. Brown, who had to be away at the time for the purpose of attending the annual meeting of the national farm loan associations at Columbia, S. C., whither he and Mr. Kenney would have gone together had the latter survived. Surviving Mr. Kenney are his widow, Mrs. Nancy Kenney; one son, M. R. Kenney; one sister, Mrs. Janie Luster, of Athens, Ga; Rev. E. G. Kenney, of Athens, Ga., and A. N. Kenney, of Mansfield, Ohio. THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE Negro Tenant Dairying in the Cotton Belt Negro Tenant Dairying in the Cotton Belt The cotton planter has frequently stated that no other line of farm production could be made to fit in with cotton growing. For the man in that state of mind, it is undoubtedly true that cotton farming will not mix with other crops or other lines of farming. But the boll weevil has changed the minds of a large number of cotton farmers in the Middle Southern States, and when they have once changed their minds, then other lines of production at once become practicable. For instance, dairying or livestock production of any sort has been especially objectionable to the typical cotton planter. Convinced in his own mind that dairying and cotton farming could not be made to fit into the needs of each other on a Southern farm, he has not found dairying practicable. But, as stated, the boll weevil has persuaded some farmers that the dairy cow and cotton farming are not entirely antagonist. Not only can dairying be made satisfactory, but dairying by Negro tenants has proved satisfactory. And strange as it may seem to some cotton planters the acreage planted for cotton on many Negro tenant dairy farms has not been reduced much more than would have been forced by the boll weevils alone. Mr. E. R. Lloyd, director of the Farm Development Bureau of the Memphis, Tennessee, Chamber of Commerce, reports the following instances of satisfactory Negro tenant dairying in one county (Oktibbeha) in Mississippi, in the heart of the cotton Belt. The following is a partial list of landowners who have found Negro tenant dairy farming satisfactory, as reported by Director Lloyd:— Mr. James Ward has a twenty-five-cow dairy run by a Negro tenant on a fifty-fifty basis. He saysthe system is satisfactory, as both are making money. He expects to add another dairy next spring. Mr. W. H. Sudduth has a twenty-five-cow dairy run by a Negro tenant. Both are making money, and Mr. Sudduth expects to add another dairy. Mr. John White has four dairies, all April 12, 1924 run by Negro tenant on the share basis each milking from thirty to forty cows. The system is working satisfactorily and profitably. Mr. T. G, James has a twenty-five-cow dairy run by Negro tenant and both are satisfied. Mr. F. L. Hogan has five dairies run with Negro tenants and expects to add three more in the spring. These Negroes are milking from thirty to thirty-five cows on each of these farms. Mr. E. R. Lloyd has a forty-cow dairy run by a Negro tenant that has been in operation for five years. It is making money and both tenant and owner are satisfied. Director Lloyd adds this comment: "I believe this method of farming will not only build the country rapidly, but will also go a long long way in solving our labor problem. Many Negroes will leave the South when they can get so better wages in the North. The Southern farmer cannot afford to pay the Negroes more unless he can make them earn more. Combining dairying with cotton production is one means by which the Negroes can earn more money. Many Southern farmers are now proving that this is true. It was just as true years ago, when we began advocating ir, but it took the boll weevil to bring about the state of mind necessary to give it a fair trial. MR. J HNIE B. CAMBRIC ENTERTAINS AT "DARE" East Athens was greatly enlivened Sunday afternoon, April 6th when a great multitude of the younger set, accompanied by a few of the older ones, met at the home of Mr. Pierce Pope, on Grove st., whither his grandson, Mr. Johnie B. Cambric, had invited them to a "Sunday Afternoon Dare." The service was punch and several kinds of cake that the mother of young host had made for the entertainment of her son's guests.

Jackton Employed By State Committee to Work with Colored Groups. Atlanta, Ga., March 5, 1924.— Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., secretary of the G-orgia Race Relations Committee, announces the employ- ment, as colored ass ciate secre- tary, of Rev. J. W. Jackson, for- mer Baptist pastor and for ten years field worker in Georgia for the General Missionary Baptist Convention. He will work es pecially with the colored ccmmit- tees throughout the State, organi- zing, strengthening, and assisting wherever his services are requir- ed. The State Committee has long felt the need of a competent colored secretary for this phase of the work and feels that it has chosen well in getting a man~ of fine spirit, many years experien- ce as aminister and missionary worker, and wide acquaintance throughout the State. The ob- Ject of this committee is to bring about better understanding be- tween the races, eliminate fric- tion, correct injustices and pro- mote community cooperation for the common welfare. The Booker Washington Community Center (Hampton Institute Press) The Booker Washington Com- munity Center is one of twenty organizations which form the So- cial Service Federation of Rock- ford, Illinois. In addition to be- ing under the supervision of the Federation (from which comes its THE ATHENS REPUBLIOUS financial help) it has a general Community-Service board of fif- teen members, representing the vest thinking, most broad-mind- d white people of Rockford, and an exccutive board of eleven members representing the colored people. ; The location of the Center on Main Street, together with its spacious rooms aiid ‘recreation hall admirably fit it for the car- rying out of a Commuuity-Ser- vice program. Uncovering ‘“‘hid- den talent” being one of the pur- poses of Gammunity Service, our pasgram fromthe bygining was planued accordingly and included community sings, community for- uins, one-act plays, masques, edu- cational exercises in the nature of lectures on topice of interest, a story hour for children, and a rec- reation evening once a week for all. The activities of the Center have been directly responsible for many things: the bringing about of amore kindly and friendly feeling and a better understand- ing between the races; providing wholesome recreation and charac- ter-ouilding activities; getting the people of the community to work ‘together regardle of class or creed: and last. but by no mears least, the coytribution ofa six- room building for a permanent Community Center by Mr. E.C. Traner, president of the general board. Physical Education for Wo- q men at Hampton Institute (Hampton Institute Press) In the course in physical educa- tion tor women at Hampton In- stitute a thorough physical exam- ‘ination is given each student at the beginning of the fall term and repeated at the close of of the spring term. This examination is most complete and affords not or- ly a health record but also ortho- pedic and anthropometric records. Such records make it possible to recommend general work, includ- ing participation in all sports, or remedial and individual work in the corrective room, with partici- pation in only such sports as will not increase any functional or structural defect. The general program is most varied. The actual class work is all out of doors during the fall term and includes volley ball. ten- nis, scccer, hockey, and hiking. Interclass tournaments in volley ball and hockey are held during the last few weeks of the term- From the first of December to a- bout the first of April the work is carried on indoors with marching gymnastics, apparatus, games, and folk and esthetic dancing. In marching and gymnastics the stu- dent gets training in obedience to or command, in alertness, control and co-operation. The apparatus is planned to increase agility, flex- ibility, strength and initiative. The indoor games contribute much the same factors as the outdoor games in the fall. Needless to say, in ali the work the efforts of the instructors are directed toward the acquisition of a gcod posture and a free, easy carriage devoid of strain or awkwardness. ee a a ES LE LD ay ARTSHORN Bey 9 SHADE ROLLERS Ban pe ay.
