Wanted War Heroes to Eat In Separte Room Young T to Allo Get or night Young Texas Woman Failed to Allow White Sister to Get on First. J. O. Midnight Writes of Texas Travelling in the state of Texas, the home of the Postmaster General Burleson, and the state where a county judge recently assaulted John K. Shillidy of the N. A. A. C. R. for teaching Negroes "Social Equality." J. O. Midnight finds that colored people are arrested for all kinds of "crimes" including getting on a street car ahead of a white person. He says: "For instance, in Texasiana, Miss Clara Mays, who was doing some concert work in the south, stepped on a white car in front of a white woman. She was told by the conductor to step down and let the white woman on first. This she refused to do. He refused to take her fare, rode to the next block, called an officer of the law, a police officer at that, and this young woman was escorted off by this police, courtesans representative of the law, carried to the city HOTEL, where she was required to assure the city that her board would be paid, although she did not care to intrude on hospitality. But they insisted that she should put, up the guarantee or abide there. The next day, she ushered before the judge and when he'd heard how she had offended a white woman, by stopping on the car first, the was requested to make a contribution of $25 to Texrissiana charity fund. There was an appeal made, and believe that they wanted to start some thing that very night. The daily paper spoke of the large number of white people who remained away from the city reception room, and how this race had hooked there to hear the case, and some of them "Big Negroes" to pay the fine. They thought it was sufficient for a race riot, but the cooler heads of both races got their heads together and stopped it. "Representative colored men are being ordered away from their homes, some not even allowed time to pick up, but must leave between the rising and setting or the setting and rising of the sun, and on a long hike. Attorney N. S. Taylor, went to Washington a few weeks ago, and was elected president of the Equal Rights League, and before he could reach home, there had been a decree issued that he could no longer live in Greenville. Miss, but must seek other quarters. Mississippi says that the Negro leader had been from us, the ballot, for if you did not vote in the ballot he will vote out of office the good white man, men who will condemn crime, men who will permit lynching, men who would ride in office on abusing the Negro and stirring up race strife and hatred. Men who can be sent to the Senate because they would indorse lynching. Lord how long? "Rev. T. T. Sims, was forced to leave his church in a little town in Mississippi, because one of the preachers did not like him, and told the white folks something which was not true, and without investigating he had to leave. "The editor of one of our papers in speaking in Washington a few days ago said he was afraid to stop it when it took place." What he meant I don't know, and I don't care, but I think it worth considering. J. O. MIDNIGHT Chicago, Ill.

No.9 Sightless Eyes Awaken No Sympathy in Hearts of Evergreen Manage- Because of alleged discrimination five colored students have left the Red Cross Institute, situated at Evergreen, the handsome place of Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett, on Charles street avenue and Cold Spring lane. Mrs. Garrett has given the place to the government and it was being used as a place for training soldiers who had been blinded while fighting against German autocracy. According to the soldiers, they were getting along fairly well until the Red Cross took over the institution, which had been known as General Hospital No. 7. Troubles then began to accumulate the colored students claim. Instruction is offered the blind soldiers in automobile repair work, the use of the dictaphone in stenography, reading by the Braille system, typewriting, poultry farming and other useful subjects. The colored students were so useful that they did not have sufficient education to take up these branches, it is claimed. Discriminations along other lines came and the colored students were offered a little room to eat in. James Nelson; Nelson Hawkins, both of whom are now at 1014 McCulloh street; Charles Bonnett, of 565 Dolphin street, and Sylvester Boston quit the institution. Charles P. Braithwaite, who was blinded by a high explosive striking him in the face during the offensive on the Champagne From in the Argonne Forest in July 1918, was the only one left. He refused to eat in the "Imm'croom, and was often many with which to come to the central part of the city for his meals. Braithwaite was born in Barbados, West Indies, 25 years ago. He is a man of more than usual intelligence and was given to this countryside. He enlisted in the old 15th (N. Y.) Regiment in 1934 and was among the boys who went to France with Colonel Hayward's brave aggression. In speaking to a reporter of the Afro-American Wednesday night, Mr. Brathwaite said: "I am going back to my old in Brooklyn. N. Y. I can't stand conditions here and I am not learning anything. A place has been provided for me in another school. The discriminations here are awful. Why, my room has not even been swept out for a week and my bed linen has not been changed in that time. We have been told that we could not learn anything here, but see the whites well, provided for on every hand." The blind soldier was interrupted by a call from Mr. Campbell, an assistant secretary at the institution. Returning from the conversation with the secretary, he resumed. You see they know I am going to do six things up for my hurried exit." Crostfallen, with the belief that he would receive the education so greatly desired by one who became hopelessly blind in the service of his country, Mr. Brathwaite left the institution at 10:30 am. Thursday, and is now at home in Brooklyn telling of discriminations against blind colored soldiers at the Red Cross Institute. WOMAN IN RUNAWAY Annapolis, Md. Oct. 23—Miss Elizabeth Carr of Annapolis Neck, was thrown out of her carriage, the wheels passing over her body in the runaway accident, last week. The horse that she was driving died. The shaft broke and attempted to run. She was picked up by a passing automobile and treated at the Emergency Hospital. DR. BUNDYS CASE WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS FAVORING UNIONS AMONG NEGROES White and Colored Delegates Recommend Organization of Colored Workers. (Special to the Afro-American) Detroit, Michigan October 23.—1. That working and living conditions of Negroes will be fair and decent. 2. That transportation accommodations for Negroes will be equal to those provided for white poors. 3. That adequate educational facilities will be provided for Negroes. 4. That the Negro will be given fair treatment and be protected in buying and selling. 5. That the Negro will be protected against all lawless assaults. 6. That the Negro will be assured of good justice in the courts. In its annual meeting at Detroit, Michigan, last week, the National Urban League, composed of both races, adopted the above platform as a means of settling the color problem in the United States. In addition it urged that all other constitutional rights of citizens should be assured the colored man. On migration the League took the stand that it was the right and duty of every man to seek opportunity and justice whenever they could be Touped. The Statement we believe in the principle of collective bargaining, and in the theory of co-operation between capital and labor in the settlement of industrial disputes and in the management of industry. But in view of the present situation, we advise Negroes in seeking affiliation with any organized labor group to observe caution. We advise them to take jobs as a strike breaks only where the union affected him and colored men from membership. We believe should keep out of jobs offered in a struggle to deny labor a voice in the regulation of conditions under which it works. But, we believe the Negroes should begin to think more and more in terms of labor group movement, so as ultimately to reap the benefit of thinking in unison. To this end we employ Negroes on each level with white men whenever conditions are favorable. Where this is not possible they should bond together to bargain with employers and with organized labor alike. With America and the whole world in labor turmoil, we urge white men to work on capital and to be fair and patient with each other while a just solution is being worked out. HATED IN DAY TIME LOVED AT NIGHT Tennessee Cracker has Dual Character, Is Both Negro Hater And Keeper of Colored Mistresses. Knoxville, Tenn. October 23.—A real Dr. Dr. Jeyell and Mr. Hyde is George W. Howard, white, of Fort Worth, Worth, who was here on a visit last week. During the daytime, Howard is the kind of Southern cracker, who moves in the best society, and has with the gun and rifle two colored folks in his way. At night he makes his way to the home of some colored paramour and lingers until the next morning. Here is a part of Howard's story, as reported in the East Tennessee News: "I arrived in Knoxville to visit relatives Thursday, and about noon, that I'd set out to hung me up a little 'nigger gal.' I came to the house down where they live and saw that little black woman there, (pointing) an 18-year-old Mattie Lee) and I smoke (tother and walked toward me. I wasn't long until that one (pointing to Fannie Mae Henderson) crawled out from under the bed. A little later that one (referring to the third of the trio, Sallie Watkins) came in and we started to playing. The girls got so rough that I asked them to stop until I put on my clothes. I finally got on my clothes, gave the little girl a dollar and he had turned down. It was then I discovered that my wad of greenbacks amounting to $427.00 was gone." The girls were held for court under $3,000 bond. TEN YEAR OLD MILITARY LOVE SERGE, CLIFFORD LOWE, U.S.A.

Mr. John was adopted by the White Fathers at Montreal, Canada and was sent to Holland, and later on transferred to the Seminary of Carthage, at Tunis, North Africa. One year was spent in Africa, and again the blighting influence of American race prejudice reached across the ocean, and Mr. John was dismissed and returned to America. Discouraged, brokenhearted he is now grieving his heart away in a Harlem apartment house in the city of New York. The agitation for colored Catholic priests continually reveals that the Josephite Fathers are neither new offenders in the city to deny to Negro Catholic youth that which by divine right is his—an opportunity for the highest development of our Christian heritage. PASTORELLI HOPPLESS With the election of Rev. L. B. Pastorelli, an Italian as the Superior of the Society, all hope for any continued usefulness of white priests among the colored people ended. The expulsion of Mr. William E. Floyd, a colorless Seminary insured the indignation of every thinking colored man in the city. Catholics and non-Catholic colored people were a unit in denouncing this high-handed act. As a result of the agitation Mr. Floyd was immediately adopted by the real Catholic element in the church and sent to the Seminary of St. Paul. Minn. There are gloomy days for the former, and the satisfaction by way of the so-called religious bodies, now at work among them. A. learned Bishop of the great A. M. E. Speaking of the attempt of his second wife to kidnap his daughter Milford, whom he had phied with, Mr. and Mrs. Sargent, Serge.

He said that he had been on several occasions to get him in jail with the officers is estranged from his second wife, and man of his command. The second Mrs. Lawn is held here and her case with conviction at an early date.

The commissioners prefaced this privilege before but not year when they made the request they received a court refusal. The reason for this action, according to several of the leaders of the colored population of the city is that they desire to maintain the organization for having directed to oppose Mayor Trout at the primaries. At that time they desired that bad news be announced, and, ammunified publicly that they intend to oppose his nomination which they did at the polls and now refused right to hold an election. The mayor, they help to maintain by the payment of taxes. The meeting will be held Nov. 6th in a bishool. Leaders of the year will vote Trout on office.

The colored registration lists are the largest in about twenty years, the Declaration of Intent Act, put on the statute books by the Democratic legislature of 1902, caused many colored men to become negligent about qualifying to vote. With the addition of about 12,000 new voters last spring the colored registered stood 15,296 in the May election. The present figures show a net gain of 1,001 during the recent registration settings. The 24th ward is the only in the city that has not a single colored man registered. The ward takes in Loenst Point and has never had more than half a dozen colored residents. The 28th ward, which takes in part of the new annex, has only 12 colored voters and the First ward, which takes in the Patterson Park district, down to the old border line between Highlandtown and the city, has only 32 voters. The 17th ward has the largest number of colored men registered, there being 2,484 as against 1,022 whites. 16 of the 14th ward where Warner T. McMinnum is City Councilman, there are 130 more whites than colored, the figures being 2,297 for the colored and 2,428 for the whites. The 11th and 14th are the only other wards whose colored voters exceed 1,000, while the 4th, 5th, 7th, 16th and 18th wards each nearly reach that mark.

GRICE ANOTHER KU KLUX KLAN FORMED New Organization Will Keep White Men Away From Colored Women. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 23—Proposing the formation of the Secret Protateral and Renewal Order as the best means of helping to keep the white blood pure and of preventing any improper "social equality" between white and colored races, a new organization has taken its belfort among the many clubs and societies in the south. Unlike the Ku Klux Klan, its object of attack is not the Negro rapist, but white men who abhorish in social equality after black. "This order has been incorporated by some philosopher spirits mainly of Martha, Alabama, and their purpose is to push it as effective propaganda to race purity. It contemptuously rigid enforcement of laws against all forms of unscorruption, and would begin with the education of young white boys who would be graduated into an older order. White men who bridge the race fine will be regarded by the new organization as "traitors" to the white race, and as chiefly respond A real Dr. Jockett and Mr. Hyde is excusing in alarming numbers. 300 AT SHAW Raleigh, N.

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS AS CAMPAN Harry Nice Throwing Hot Shot Into Camp of City And State Democrats With the city as the battleground, the Democratic and Republican candidates for State county, and city offices are making the far fly. The Attorney Harry W. Nice, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, has been throwing hot shot into the Democrats both in city, state, and nation. Alexander Armstrong, Jr., Republican nominee for Attorney General; Aaron W. W. Wooden, candidate for comptroller; and William L. Maire, applicant for clerk of the Court of Appeals, have been doing likewise. "Billy" Lawrence has been making an effective campaign to succeed Harry Nice as State's Attorney; William G. Albrecht has been telling the voters why he should succeed "Tom" McNulty as sheriff; Dr. W. S. Boone and Boston S. Kirby have pressed their claims for the court's clerkships and the three candidates for Judges of the Orphans Court have not hundreds of voters. The legislative candidates have been no less active, realizing that a Republican governor must have a Legislature from the same party to be of the most service to the people. Apathy among the colored voters is warning, and meetings attended by them are being held over the city. They have been impressed with the success of Republican office at this time and the necessity of paving the way for the election of a Republican-President next year. Detroit, Michigan, Oct. 23—Rev Samuel Willimund Morrie, B. D. warden and resident professor, of the Bishop Payne Divinity School was elected Bishop of Haxiyt by the Episcopal General Convention in session here. Rev. Dr. M. Overs white, born in England and now pastor of a church in Bradford Pa., was elected Bishop to Liberia Bishop Overs will have a colored suffragan Bishop under him. The Rev. Grice, is about forty years of age, and halls from North Carolina. He graduated from the St. Augustine School, Ralabigh, N. C., and Pope Divinity School, Petersburg, Va. in 1964. He had charge of a colored mission in Spartansburg, S. C., and was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Capers in 1906. In 1910 he became warden and professor in his alma mater in Petersburg. The Bishop-project has been active in the Conference of Church Workers among Colored People and served for three years, up to the recent Cleveland Conference, as president, Surprises and dissatisfaction, and in discussions that the General Conference of the church did not elect also a colored plan as Bishop to Liberia. The colored churches of the country have asked for eight colored biosops for work here. So far the petition has not been acted upon: Detroit, Mich., Oct. 24 — Speaking before the Industrial Conference of the National Urban League here has week, Dr. J. G. Lomon of the Wage Earners' Bank of Savannah, Ga., declared that this institution had added 10,000 persons to purchase homes in the 19 years of the Bank's existence. Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, said that Detroit is an example to Negroes living without friction among Greeks, Poles, and Jews, who manage to live without friction among plain American citizens, many of his problems will be ended. William Pickens of Baltimore stated that the Negro is going to remain in the north, because his dollar is worth more there. All over the city voters, have been told that Kelly is a millstone around the neck of all classes of citizens. They have been told that "The Kelly is a boss, just now reaching the height of his ambition, and that they should grudely disappoint him in by defeating his candidates. Some speakers last week asserted that "Tom" Smith is grabbing after absolute power among the colored people, just as Kelly is among the whites, and therefore the Democratic party should be snowed under this time. The fact that the Democrats in Maryland have been ever averse to the best interests of the Negro has been brought home to the voters, and things look brighter for Republican success. The coloured residents in the counties have a better chance of surviving good schools through this. securing jobs success of the Republican party are affecting all of the colored people of the state are the repeal of "Jim Crow" car laws, the abolition of the Declaration of Inter-Ant. adequate facilities for the care of consumptives and sufficient appropriations from the state for hospitals and public health agencies. With regard to better salaries for teachers and more modern schools, the tephilacans are more affirmatively committed. Then there is the matter of service of colored men on juris in the counties in cases where colored men are affected. Democratic success means that the colored people will not get the above mentioned things, so greatly desired by the colored people. In the hands of Republican success means that the best interest of the race will be cared for, without the anyway slighting the interest and needs of other elements of the population. MORE INTERESTED IN COMMUNITY PROBLEMS New Head of Teachers Association Says Profession Ought to Be Able to Speak Out. That the colored teachers as an organization expect to interest themselves more and more in Community problems is the statement of the newly elected head of the Educational Association, Howard M. Gross to a representation of the Association. Overwhelming majority of teachers elected Mr. Gross to the head of the Association on Thursday of last week at their regular meeting in Pennsylvania, he said. Mr. Gross one of the most progressive of the city teachers stated that it ought to be possible for teachers to be educated in public citizens without having to be afraid of their positions. He declared that the organization expected to make itself felt in all matters of welfare, education and profession only or the city at large. Mr. Gross statement in full is as follows: "Higly grateful to teachers for their confidence, which have received from the University of the Educational Association of this city. I think that a body of intellective representatives such as compose the Educational Association can be a force for the improvement of "Hilario the activities of the teachers, for the most part, have been limited to problems within the context of the four walls of the classroom and the possibilities that could be employed in the solution of community problems. For this reason, and just so, other organizations have taken the initiative to give the germane to the teaching profession. It is to be hoped that a new day will come, when teacher will be recognized as an integral part of the body politic an dwil not hesitate to take an active part in the general welfare of the city, the profession and the race, thereby familiarizing themselves with various phases of life, which must ultimately reverence the teacher, and hence putting his horizon, so that when he appears in the role of teacher, he will be able to amplify the problems of the school through a resourcefulness developed as a result of such activities". John Thomas was elected secretary of the Association and Henry Brown treasurer. The president was authorized to appoint a committee to look into matters of organizing a teacher's union.

Johnson, State agent of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, is traveling on the Eastern Shore in the interest of his company. A representative of the AFO-AMERICAN went to the City Jail and asked permission to see Isaiah Fountain, who is anguished. He awaited the decision of the Court of Appeals on his appeal for a change of venue in the new trial that will be given him for an alleged rape committed on a white girl in Talbot County. Rev. J. C. Taylor had reported to the Baptist Minister's Meeting last Monday that Fountain said he might lonely in jail, having practically no one to visit him. The reporter arrived at the jail, stated his mission to the keeper that opened the warden's door, and informed: "Fountain has gone back to Easton, the court having freed him." "The man was waiting for the Court of Appeals to hand down a decision in his case," the reporter told the man at the gate. "That decision happened him." "Boy, have you heard from Fountain? the man asked a colored prisoner standing nearby. "No, sir," replied the prisoner as the keeper again locked the gate; leaving the reporter on the outside. Fountain, the man in need of military imprisonment, his friends say. He was arrested in Easton for driving an unshod horse. A justice of the peace there gave him two years in jail on a charge of cruelty to animals. He award Davis, of this city, aued out a writ of habeas corpus, returnable before Judge Dawkins in the Baltimore City Court.

The temporary injunction was not dissolved, but those on each side, along with their allies, were courted in seemingly satisfied form of mind, making all believe that there would be no further litigation. Judge Gorter told Bishop Johnson that he saw no objection to the Bishop filling in the position on Sunday morning. The Bishop has been on the sand and had made the impress- vision by his command of language and expression, and his position in the church in Mr. Cusset. A large congregation, including many members of other churches, gathered at Tyron Church last Sunday day morning. The church's forestal sermon on "Healing the Sick." Rev. Mr. Cusset, who was present, was asked for the keys of the church, which he at first refused to give up. Rev. J. M. Dutton, who had been appointed pastor to succeed Custis prescheduled his appointment to congregation that was in God' Sunday night. The troubles of the Rev. Mr. Custis were increased Monday when he was deposed as secretary of the A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting. He refused to turn over the books in which the minutes of the most prominent ministers in the Baltimore Conference had a word set to it. It is alleged that the Rev. Mr. Custis was invited to the basement of Bathol A. M. E. Church to night. It out, which invitation he possibly declined. Bishop Johnson handed Delia M. McCormick's appointment to Delia M. McCormick. It was said he will not accept the appointment. It promises to be a battle royal when Attorneys W. Ashley Hawkins, W. C. McCarthy and C. C. Gustis are representing Custis, the pastor of Bathol, the white attorney representing Bishop Johnson, et al. NEARLY HUNDRED DELEGATES FROM CITY AND STATE PRESENT. Garden, N. J.

PAGEANT OF ALL NATIONS Mrs. Mary Haughton, Chairman Mrs. H. E. Frey, Secretary Mrs. Jennie Ross, Directress. Rev. A. L. Gaines, Pastor All information above should be核对. Strong plans for the election of the entire Republican ticket were made by a number of candidates, and Rev. James H. Robertson at a meeting held in the parlor of the Goldfield Hotel last Saturday evening, under the auspices of the Colored Republican Civic League and the Tea Rose Circle. Harry C. Horner, Republican committeeman for the Fifth ward, presided. Among the speakers were: Charles F. Steiner, candidate for State Senate in the First Legislative District; Frederick Seekow, George Koch, legislative candidates; William G. Allbrecht, nominee for sheriff; William H. Lawrence aspirant for the State attorneyship; Boston S. Kirby, who desires one of the court clerkships; and Gusvassar A. Korb, Gusvassar E. E. Timanus, two of the Republican nominees for judges of the Grphans' Court. ROBINSON MAKES HIT Rev. Robinson speaking to the candidates made a hit when he said— "You need not tell these men anything about being loyal to the Republican Party on account of Abraham Lincoln. They don't know anything about slavery, anything about Lincoln, and what is more they don't care anything about these things. They do care about the big issues in the campaign that concern them right here in Baltimore. "One of the things we want to know is whether or not our candidates have any antipathy towards the colored people, and another big issue is whether this city is to continue to be governed by Kelly who controls the destinies of the white people, and Tom Smith who bosses a many colored people from broomrows down to cimberhouses. "I do not say these thing to give offense, but I want you to know that we are friends to those who are friends to us, and that men are tired of getting down on our knees, the little fellow, who does business untwent in the Eleventh Ward." JUDGE TERRELL SPEAKS Judge R. H. Terrell, of Washington, spoke along non-partisan lines. He said the world war was fought for democracy, but that there are some who would deprive the Negro of the fruits of the victory. The committee that arranged for the meeting included: Charles H. Anderson, president; P. D. Dallas Washington, secretary-treasurer; Dr. John W. Prather, vice president, and Walter C. Emerson.

The separate acts of each of these warring factions in the vineyard of the Lord are invited in the declaration, that in the professions and in religion, the Negro is not susceptible to the highest development. FOUNDER AN "APOSTATE" St. Joseph's Society for Negro Missions was formed by the Rev. John E. Slattery, who later became discussed with the product of his effort to convert the colored people, and finally left the church, becoming what Catholics style an "Apostate". St. Joseph's Society for Negro Missions has had a stormy career; good priests been with them, and some good priests men are in missions, doing God's work in spite of the clique in control of the Baltimore headquarters. Several of its members have been the center of injurious scandals, and the Police Courts of the city have been resorted to for an adjustment of the difficulties and injustices some of the priests affiliated with it, have caused the poor people for whom they claim to be the means of regeneration. James Cardinal Gibbon gave out a letter expressing his dissatisfaction with conditions generally. To continue, its grip on the Negro Catholic Missions, the Fathers of St. Joseph's Society are now promoting a scheme for a separate college and seminary for colored Catholics. The insurgent colored Catholics are issuing letters to the colored newspapers and to the colored people, denouncing this new scheme. Strongly against the white Catholic priests have given evidence of their sympathy toward the colored insurgents.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE AFRO-AMERICAN COMPANY OF BALTIMORE CITY ONE YEAR.....$1.50 SIX MONTHS.....85 THREE MONTHS.....50 SINGLE COPY.....85 "INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS NEUTRAL IN NOTHING" FRIDAY, OCT. 24, 1919 THE VANISHING SERVANT. If there are some things more than others that off the intense desire of working people to get of domestic service, they are the long hours now wages. In 1748, according to Peter Kalm, it was poss to get a servant for $40 to $50 per year. In 1751 wages had risen to $3.50 to $4.00 per week for co-ordresses, mads and nurses for working 14 hours today wages are somewhat higher, ranging from six to ten dollars per week, for ordinary help, every male, who can be entering the field of industry where the working hours are short and where day is four, five and six times what he could be butler in Mr. Gotrich's marble palace. As is the men begin to earn living wages, they bit that their wives and daughters stay at the keep house, or go to school. The result is the old time servant, who was satisfied to work in and day out for small wages, board and all clothes has rapidly vanished. There is now such a thing as the nigh cost of fruits, but a good many families with moderate homes are doing their own work. Washing, ironing, sweeping machines and the latest cooking appliances keep housekeeping from being the drudge that used to be. Eventually the housework will be assisted to specialists, who make a business of doing on a systemized scale of duties, hours and days. The "Negro" lynched by a mob of sixty per cent. Macon, Georgia, two weeks ago turns out tougene Hamilton, nine years old, accused of shagging a white man several months ago. The man covered. The case was before the Court of Appeal and then the youngster was bound hand and good upon the bridge across a nearby creek and body riddled with bullets. The South lynches "fired cradle to the grave." Just the other day a seventy was lynched for "talking too much." If there are some things more than others that tell of the intense desire of working people to get out of domestic service, they are the long hours and low wages. In 1748, according to Peter Kalm, it was possible to get a servant for $40 to $50 per year. In 1855, wages had risen to $3.50 to $4.00 per week for cooks, laundresses, mails and nurses who worked 14 hours. Today wages are somewhat higher, ranging from six to ten dollars per week, for ordinary help, but every male, who can is entering the field of industry where the working hours are short and where the pay is four, five and six times what he could earn as butler in Mr. Gotrich's marble palace. As soon as the men begin to earn living wages, they see to it that their wives and daughters stay at home and, kept house, or go to school. The result is that the old time servant, who was satisfied to work day in and day out for small wages, board and all few clothes has rapidly vanished. There is now such a thing as the high cost of servants, but a good many families with moderate incomes are doing their own work. Washing, ironing, sweeping machines and the latest cooking appliances keep housekeeping from being the drudge that it used to be. Eventually the housework will be intrusted to specialists, who make a business of doing it on a systemized scale of duties, hours and pay. The "Negro" lynched by a mob of sixty persons at Macon, Georgia, two weeks ago turns out to be Eugene Hamilton, nine years old, accused of shooting a white man several months ago. The man recovered. The case was before the Court of Appeals, and then the youngster was bound hand and foot stood upon the bridge across a nearby creek and his body riddled with bullets. The South lynches "from the cradle to the grave." Just the other day a man of seventy was lynched for "tulking too much." TEN OTHER COMMANDMENTS. The one person, who knows whether or not average person is thrifty, owns his home, pays its promptly, helps worthy causes, and tin leaves enough estate to give his children a s business is the banker. We are not surpriere therefore, when the American Bankers' Associa commends the following ten commandments related to promote thrift and help fight off high cost of living. The one person, who knows whether or not the average person is thrifty, owns his home, pays his bills promptly, helps worthy causes, and finally leaves enough estate to give his children a start in business is the banker. We are not surprised therefore, when the American Bankers' Association recommends the following ten commandments calculated to promote thrift and help fight off the high cost of living. 1. Make a budget. 2. Keep an intelligent record of expenditures. 3. Have a bank account. 4. CaFry life insurance. 5. Make a will. 6. Own your own home eventually. 7. Pay your bills promptly. 8. Invest in war savings stamps and other Government securities. 9. Spend less than you earn. 10. Share with others. Thrift without bene- volence is a doubtful blessing. 10. Share with others. Thrift without benevolence is a doubtful blessing. Like the decalogue of Moses the above commands can be reduced to just two that comprehil the "law and the prophets." "A man need less than he carms." This is the first grift commandment. If he fails to keep this there is hardly worth while trying the others, second is that he share with others. Thrift with envolence is selflessness, stinginess, misfit between the spendthrift and the miser lies the thrifty. Like the decalogue of Moses the above commandments can be reduced to just two that comprehend all the "law and the prophets." "A man must spend less than he earns." This is the first great thrift commandment. If he fails to keep this one, there is hardly worth while trying the others. The second is that he share with others. Thrift without benevolence is selfishness, stinginess, miserliness. Between the spendthrift and the miser lies the path of the thrifty. FIGHTING BACK. Montgomery, Alabama and the surrounding town have experienced a new sort of fighting by colored people since the lynching of three four weeks ago. It is estimated that five th and persons have migrated from the city all to explanation is made, families just get on a train and leave. Unlike the exodus of two ygo, only a few are bound for the North and While the larger number settle in the big South cities. Colored housekeepers refuse to read white newspapers. In Montgomery all paper boys are colored. Many have been lynched as children. Montgomery, Alabama and the surrounding territory have experienced a new sort of fighting back by colored people since the lynching of three persons four weeks ago. It is estimated that five thousand persons have migrated from the city alone. No explanation is made, families just get on the train and leave. Unlike the exodus of two years ago, only a few are bound for the North and West, while the larger number settle in the big Southern cities. Colored housekeepers refuse to read white newspapers. In Montgomery all paper boys are colored, and many have been thrown out of employment. White insurance companies are losing from $80 to 1,000 policy holders every day, and according to the press dispatches, "if this feeling continues there will not be a Negro in Montgomery County holding a mutual benefit, or industrial policy in white companies." This is a new kind of fighting back and well illustrates the old adage: "there are more ways of killing a cat than drowning." Few great Americans have taken the stand of the late Theodore Roosevelt whose slogan was "All men up," not some down. Roosevelt Day in the churches will furnish an opportunity to call attention to the lessons from the life of the ex-President, as well as to gather contributions for the national memorial to be erected in his honor. ENDORSING MOB LAW. Many readers of the despatches in the daily press were astounded several weeks ago by the report that a group of colored men in Georgia had met an endorsed" the lynching of one of their number, the Cox. The general feeling was that the statement was not true. Unfortunately it was true, and the Associated Negro Press furnishes the following letter as proof. To Our Good White Friends of Ogthelhorpe County: "We wish to thank you for being so kind to us that you had to undergo on the 8th day of this month in the brutal murder of Obe Cox. All acted so nice in the matter. It could not have been much worse with us but you all handled. Only one thing the brute should have suffered just five hours longer than he did. It wouldn't have been any too bad for him. We want to say this with numble hearts to God and you all. We certainly thank you for handling this case so nice, for it could have been worse with us. "Our white people fought no one but the brute, Obe Cox, which was right, and we thank them for it, for we, as the colored people, are glad to get rid of a brute like him as our white people are. We hope to better the conditions by our good deeds and humble prayers and loyalty to our white people. We are here with our white people and all they ask of us is that we do our part by them, and we think that in this case all find an example of what will happen if we do not." (Signed), Nick Waller, Ed. Walkins, Jim Walkins, Willis Walkins, Lee Huff and Al. Brightwell. To understand this endorsement by friends of the lynching of a colored man, we publish a letter from a correspondent of the AFRO-AMERICAN now touring Southern Texas. The letter reads: "Seated as you are safe in your office or home, your family equally safe, it will be almost impossible for you to understand, my reluctance in writing you my real impression of "Crackerland." I can now understand the so-called cowardice of the Southern Negro. An angry glance, a hasty word, or brushing against a white man or woman means death, either for the Negro or white man, and often the Negro's family. I am living close to God. I have been all over the State. This Letter made public, as true it is and as little as I have written, might mean my death. This is no joke." "Within three hundred yards of me, a man was taken from his home, lynched and thrown into a burning shanty, fired, by the mob. No, I am not afraid, I am just cautious. Remember, do not print all of the facts, for Democracy is for the white man." THE QUESTIONNAIRE. In another column of the AFRO-AMÉEICAN will be found a copy of the questionnaire submitted to Democratic and Republican candidates in the com- election. In general the questionnaire was de- ing election. In general the questionnaire was designed to find out the attitude of the men, who asked for the support of the colored voter, on the vital questions of health, education, vice and travelling conditions. Not a single question asked any "favors" for colored people as such. All questions could be answered in the affirmative by candidates who have it in their minds to give a square deal to everybody. It is significant that all of the Republican candidates are not willing to pledge this square deal in return for the colored votes they expect to get. It is also interesting to note that not a single Democrat has replied to the questionnaire. Those men who fall to answer are the ones who want SOMETHING FOR NOTHING. They want the colored vote, but they feel that they do not need to pledge themselves, for the reason that COLORED PEOPLE WILL VOTE FOR REPUBLICAN TICKET ANYHOW. The AFRO-AMERICAN believes that any man elected to office by the votes of white and colored citizens should feel this responsibility sufficiently to pledge himself in advance to his constituents. The Reverend James Robinson strikes the mail on the head, when he says, to candidates, "You need not tell the colored voter to be loyal to the Republican party on account of Abraham Lincoln and slack conditions. Not a single question was asked any coin and nothing about slavery and they don't care about them. What they want to know is whether or not you have any antipathy towards colored people." This is just what the questionnaire was designed to find out, and the AFRO-AMERICAN believes colored voters will make no mistake in voting for the men who answered affirmatively the questions put to them. Report during the past week that unless the shortage of sugar were relieved in some way, government and city officials would make plans to ration each householder, draws smiles from many hundreds of persons who have been practically rationed by storekeepers already. Inquiry at the small groceries elicited the reply that there was no sugar on hand and no expectation of getting a supply from wholesalers in the near future. Chain grocery stores reported that could furnish the crude brown sugar but that their store or granulated and lump sugar was entirely exhausted. The sugar shortage of last year was regarded with a great deal of tolerance because it was felt by the American public they were making a sacrifice to win the war, in diverting their supply into European channels. No such patriotic reason can be given this year for exporting sugar to Europe and letting America go without. Blame in the last analysis is being placed on the Democratic administration in Washington, which is so busy settling European affairs that such a small question as the purchasing of sugar for domestic consumption goes entirely neglected until it is too late to remedy it. The "health and decency" budget for government clerks as prepared by the bureau of labor statistics calls for a $2000 a year minimum for a family of man, wife and three children. Not only is it a good thing for the government to be a "mud-employer, and pay its workers enough to live in health and decency, but the suggestion is made that the single man be paid as much as the married men. Then perhaps the single man will be able to save up enough to get married. According to the news despatches one fifth of the striking longshoremen in New York are colored. They are asking for one dollar an hour and two dollars for overtime and Saturdays. They want twelve men in a gang, first aid equipment on all piers, and ten cents an hour extra for the men, who handle coal. In New York, at least, it pays to belong to the union. THE AFRO-AMERICAN PEOPLE'S FORUM PEOPLE'S FORUM Is Hard, to Be. "Lovable" When There is so Much Unloveliness In The Attitude of the Average White Man Toward His Colored Neighbor. There are so many people who think that they can't be or amount to anything unless their skin is white or, whitened; such people never will be anything. A person that can't be a man by having black skin can't be a man anyway. As long as we uphold "color," so long will the white man do the same thing. We should be the last race on the face of the earth to let the least bit of hatred exist among us. We should be the most lovable of all races. White men try hard to keep us disrespectful for they know how to disrespect if we get together. But will men that call themselves "men among men" for the sake of themselves, be bought out by white men for a little money, or sweet talks? Some people have the idea that in the South you can't be a man if your skin is dark. Such people as these never will amount to much in life; "For it is not what you used to be, or, where you come from; nor where you are or what you intend to be—but what you are." The time is fast approaching when the Negro must stand alone in the world. Each day we find ourselves thrown more and more upon our own resources for the necessities and pleasures of life. For if we would receive polite and first class services we must apply to our own business. FELIX F. EADDY, 1026 Penna. Ave. Readers of "Afro" Urged to Let Members of Congress Know That They Favor The Curtis Bill. To the Latter: I beg to remain colored Americans of Senator Curtis' resolution to national investigation of mob violence and lynching in the United States. When we consider the facts that during the last 40 years more than 3,000 Negroes have been lynched, more than 75 per cent of whom have been done to death for other alleged offences than attack upon women; that they have been lynched for alleged offences ranging from murder to petty larceny and "impudence"; that 45 colored women and girls, some of whom were in a delicate state, have been lacerated, shot to death, hanged and burned alive at stake by savage and unpunished lynchers; that Negroes are now lynched weekly and almost daily in the South; and that leaders are being robbed and driven from their homes—when we consider their horrible and unspeakable facts, need I say that we should send telegrams or letters to the Senators and representatives of our respective states, urging them to support the said resolution? We who are the man victims of mob violence and lynchings, must indicate as well as collectively are behind this measure. This is no time for hesitation or delay. This is time for action. Act now! Our property, limbs and lives are at stake. Let us concentrate our moral force on members of Congress by writing individual letters to them endorsing the Curtis Bill. Reader Hegally Forced to Ride in J. C. Car Thru Virginia Makes a Just Compiling Against Traveling Conditions in Southern Southern States. The airlines were under U. S. control, but on the evening of March 15, 1913, I bought a ticket from Montgomery, W. Va. to Baltimore, Md. When the conductor came through, he clipped my ticket and pinning a hat-check to the back of the seat just in front of me, he said, "You change in Washington." I made myself satisfied, and after midnight I became sleepy, and finally went to sleep, but when the train had passed White Sulphur Springs and was crossing into the state of Virginia the porter (colored) came through the coach and told me the passengers to go into the front car. Until then, the white and colored passengers, and been riding in the same car, for there is no jimmy law in the state of West Virginia. The train was moving at a rapid rate of speed, at the time, therefore I did not attempt to into the "car ahead" as the porter had told us to do. When he came back the third time, he shook me by my left shoulder, and told me to go into the car for colored people; he then took up my hand-bag and told me to follow him. I then noticed that the conductor was standing directly behind me with his hand on the back of the seat, in which I was sitting. I saw it was a plain case of segregation on account of color, so I got up and followed the porter through two coaches to the jim-crow car, which was only the back of the baggage car, the platform in front of the jim-crow car door, the train must have rounded up for my feet found under me, and I full backward, my head striking the coach behind me, I fell on my back upon the platform. I managed to get inside the door, and laid down best I could on the rear seat. I was in great pain, my nose, bled freely, I was seized with muscle, the porter took his foot and pushed a cuspidor neuer me. I laid there until I reached Washington the next morning. A lady helped me off the train and up the stair into the waiting room. She then assisted me on the train for Baltimore more when it arrived. After reaching Baltimore, I re After reaching Baltimore, I treatment at the University Hospital in Maryland, went to Johns Hopkins To the Editor: Hospital and the doctors found that my back was sprained and that I had received other internal injuries from which they said I would have to have an operation. They treated my back for sometime. My case was laid before the C. & O. R. authorities, and after so long a time I received, as my part, only $115 one hundred and fifteen dollars, just about as much as my own. While the railroads were under government control, I see no better time to cut out jim crowism in all states, and thereby prevent such accidents. And if the government won't cut out jim-crowism, it can surely make it an offense to move passengers from one coach to another, without stopping, the train. It is not that I care to mingle with the white people, that I protest against the above, but it is the square deal, that I want; for if the money will purchase a ticket, which grants me the privilege to ride in the best coaches through the states of Ohio, West Virginia, and many other states, then why won't that same ticket grant me the privilege to ride in the best coaches through the state of Virginia in other state? If the U.S. Government can control the railroads in other things, why can't it control them in this particular? There is a screw loose somewhere. I do not attempt to condemn all white people for such conditions as exist on the trains and in many other public places, for indeed, there are some good white people who wish the colored people well, but, alas, that class of white people, are greatly in the minority.

Liberia needs a healthy influx of immigrants, we need at least fifty (50,000) thousands strong men and women from the West Indies. Men represent all the allied trades and professions. We feel greatly humiliated when the newspapers dilate on jim crow carism being practiced on our people in the land of boasted freedom and Christian institutions, when we have a home in Africa. Liberia is the garden spot of Western Africa, filled with rivers, lakes and streamlets which meander around the hills and mountains, fields of waving grain, and springs gushing from a thousand hills, making Liberia one of the most beautiful countries in the world. As for health Liberia is just as healthy as South Carolina, Georgia, Florida or Alabama. Any man who comes here from the states and can't stand the climate, is sick already before he comes. Only those minded people get sick and die; men and women of strong physical bodies, determined will power and courage will live as long in Liberia as they can in Ohio. If any one wants information on the subject address Editor I. O. Gray of Monrovia, and get the truth. All this talk about African fever and sudden death is only moonshine. Come and bring all you have for the house farm, come and bring your land, houses and cattle, come for Liberia is your home. Liberia is the land of the free and home of the brave. —Liberian World. James Weldon Johnson Says Race is Seeking Real Democracy "The Negro came back from the Great War disillusioned; thousands died for what to them is a life, and the whole race, galvanized into thought, is going after what it is entitled to and what it is going to get—unlimited American democracy" voiced by the Negro poet, Robert Browning, in the document of last night's meeting of the Brooklyn Civic Forum. "I a meeting of protest against lynching and race rioters. The forum is held on Sundays, at Public School No. 4, under the direction of National Association of Lynchings, the argument so frequently employed, that the best element in the South is against lynchings, Mr. Johnson pointed out that to the victim it makes very little difference, but to the victim it is directed by the best people. "It isn't an element that doesn't approve that we want, but one that stands out and disapproves" he added. "Race riots occur because the Negro has made up his mind that if he is to die, he will be killed, and that he will be killed without the protection of the law, he will protect himself." “We have been talking about democracy too long, and it is high time we began to practice it,” was the opinion expressed by Rabbi Lyons. I want every one of you,” he told the assembly, “to go forth tonight in living, acting protest against the super-brutalism of lynching. When a Negro is lynched, the greatest and best of us is lynched, by implication. We who consent to sow the storm by silence, must reap the whirlwind. Even now the whirlwind is being reaped, in the lynching madness which recently is being turned against white men and women.” Dr. Lyons declared that democracy is more of a duty than a privilege, and that is means the opportunity and encouragement to develop to the full the divine possession that is in every human being. Mrs. Addie Hinton spoke in behalf of the colored woman, "the most unknown and most misunderstood factor in the problem. While white men have been preserving the sanctity of their religion, they have had to preserve her own sanctity, I wonder," she added, "what Omaha means to those Negro soldiers from Nebraska, with whom I worked overseas, and who confided to me, their plans for going into business" with them when they should "get back home."

Oct. 23—The drive of the Industrial Workers of the World for colored membership is attracting the attention of Congress and the Department of Justice, as nothing else connected with this question has been discussed for fifty years. The aim of the I. W. W. propaganda is to get the great mass of colored workers to join with them. This is the result of the disastrous outburst of the American Federation of Labor, and everywhere in the West especially, recruits in small numbers have joined the I. W. W. Standards. A sample of the pamphlet being used by the I. W. W. to attract color workers to join them, for example, here is entitled: JUSTICE FOR THE NEGRO. HOW HE CAN GET IT. It states that the only way for the Negro to get his rights as a human being is to join the one international organization that the colored worker terms of absolute equality with the white—the Industrial Workers of the World. "The colored working men and women of the United States must organize in defense of their rights together in labor unions so as to be able to enforce their demand for an equal share of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. This is the document that is causing Congress and the Department of Justice a real concern on the color question. --- PLEASE ANSWER BY MAIL (Hickory, N. C.

Agents in South Show Housewives How to Keep Better Homes Washington, D. C. Oct. 25. The county and home demonstration work in the South among Negroes was in almost all cases the members of the race who have been trained by the white extension workers. The same types of club work are done by the Negroes as are done by the white club members. The results have been gratifying in every locality, according to the Negroes' Agriculture and the State agricultural colleges which co-operate in the work. A Negro agent in Paluski County, Aransas tells of some of the results of her work as follows: Mr. Jim White was induced, to the aid of infirmity of the agent, to remold his house, adding a new screen porch, which includes the well. This makes it very convenient for the house wife. The house has been painted recently. A sanitary outhouse has also been built and the garden enlarged well forted. This was done last year. Mr. White his wife, became very deeply interested in poultry and from the sale of chickens and eggs she realized over $125. She used the money to buy new furniture and home james. The walls were poured, three nails had been put on the floor, and a set of mission furniture was very neatly arranged in one room. When I visited this room in 1917 I found in it none of the things mentioned in the book. These improvements were a direct outgrowth of the home demonstration work through the poultry club, according to Mrs. White. "Mrs. M. Robins, linger near Mr. Zion curly pottery, and have a line of White Wyandotines instead. She won the first prize at the county fair last year and is very hopeful of her future success with that breed of chickens. The poultry club's community have commenced their annual "clean up" campaign, to the end that they have whitewashed several homes and surrounding outhouses on their home grounds. The president of the club is very active. The garden club has organized their need together and each member planted seed on the same date. --- 14 MOY FOO'S IDEA Chinman, LM, Moy Foo, of New York, wrote to the New York World, a letter which we reprint and respectfully refer to hypothetical Caucasian ancestry. "If a Chinman may be permitted to suggest, would it not be possible to found a better and more lasting peace upon the Ten Commandments than upon the fourteen points? Why the ten commandments, after 1959, try the experiment of founding a state upon the teachings of his Christ?" "We Chinman believe that trade was the only weapon that was been at war for, because of the markets ever since your modern civilization was created." "When the gins of Germany worked destruction to the cathedral of France in the market places because of the loss of the architectural beauties of Thebes and Louvain: Not one voice was rifted in honest protest because of the desecration of the inner tabernacle, nor would I compare it unfavorably, with our Confucianism. You, however do not practice your religion. With you a commercial relation comes first, moral relation is forbidden." "Easting peace, will come only when you accept honestly the teachings of the Christ whom you now only pre- tend to worship." St Paul Appeals BEWARE OF MOTHERS-IN-LAW A Michigan court has decided that forcing a wife to live with a mother-in-law, who is abusive and uses vile epithets, is cruel, and inhuman treatment entitles her to a divorce. Mr. Wilson's party, of which he is the accredited leader, is largely responsible for this spread of racial intolerance. All over the south, which is nothing, if not arrogantly Democratic, the Negro has no rights, civil or political, that a white man is bound to respect. He is treated as an inferior and an underling and only tolerated to the limit he is, because he is needed and wanted to do the hard and dirty work. The Democratic part of the north has defended this attitude on the part of their automatic associates of the south, so well and so long that the same spirit of intolerance toward the Negro race is infecting the north also. And despite the latter attitude of democracy (grafted into autoeconomic) the leader of this party that would pose as a world eminator for all white people, but would place the black race in a position of servitude, almost serfdom, in our own Christian nation. The rights of Armenians of Asia are sacred, but the rights of the Negroes of America are subject to "reservation." FEDERAL LYNCH LAW (Springfield, Mass. Republic) A special grant jury at Montgomery, Ala., "investigating" the lynching of three Negroes there last Monday, has been unable to obtain any information" as the identity of any member of the mob. This sort of tragic force is what makes imperative the demand for federal attention to lynch law. A CIVIL WAR Unquestionably, the very worst foes of the Negro are those who delude him in reliance on the use of weapons and set him to dreaming of possible achievements of a civil war. To such a war there could be but one end, as the inciting agents know perfectly well, but they are indifferent to that, and think-only of the help for their own plans which they, hardly less deluded than their black dunes, expect to derive from starting a futile revolt. MERCY! YOU TELL IT An appeal by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in American behalf of justice to the Negro ought to receive the consideration of every good citizen. This is not asking for social equality or any special privilege for a race which is here against its own will, but bespeaks only a recognition of the right of the Negro under the law. Nothing could be more in accord with Christian doctrine, which has basic belief that "God hath made of all men one nation to dwell on the earth." The trouble with the Negro*in this country—so far lacks law, but its enforcement; not that he lacks academic sympathy, but ordinary help; not that he demands unnecessary things, but receives too little of that to which he is entitled.

For years Negroes have been working the farms of their owners on shares and when the time came for a settlement, owners have refused to give them itemized statements of their accounts. Negro farmers and share croppers must buy their supplies during the year from the plantation store or some designated store. The system kept the Negro nationally in debt and it has written in many parts of the South that the Negro may not leave the plantation until the debt is paid. "The Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America" was formed by Negro share croppers and the dues paid were to go into a common fund to employ a lawyer. The lawyer was to make a case in court of one tenant farmer's inability to obtain an itemized statement of his account. On October 6 tenant farmers on 21 plantations were to ask the owners for a settlement. It appears that, failing a settlement, the Negroes were going to refuse to pick the cotton then in the field or to sell cotton belonging to them for less than the market Trouble, however, was precipitated when W. A. Adkins, a special agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, Charles Pratt, a deputy sheriff, and a Negro trusty" were fired upon, so it claimed, by Negroes in a church at Hoop Spur. Adversaries killed and桨颅 severely wounded. A statement of one of the persons in the church at the time, however, shows that Adkins and Pratt died into the church without provocation and that their fire was returned with the above-mentioned results. That precipitated the trouble. One case which will show the economic exploitation is that of a Negro on the plantation of R. B. McCombs, a white man in Ashley county, Arkansas. The Negro crop was worth $3,322.76 the Negro's share being $1,661.84. McCombs paid the Negro $325 and refused to pay his any more, declaring that the Negro had taken to the balance in goods. The Negro brought suit but failed to obtain a judgment, the jury being white, as is always the case in that part of the country. Another Negro coming from the State Labor Commissioner's office declared that he had worked 27 acres on shares and that the total value of his crop at present prices was $1,506. The owner of the land had taken all of the crop, had refused a settlement and the Negro had walked 122 miles to Little Rock hoping to get a lawyer, being absolutely penniless. Many similar cases could be cited and it was a determination to protect him of defitions that formation of organization which is claimed by the whites to have "planned a massacre." So for as I was able to discover, after a careful investigation on the ground there is no basis for belief in a massacre was planned by Negroes and, in point of fact, it was the Negroes who were massacred. Negroes outnumber whites 6 to 1 in Phillip county and if a massacre had been planned the casualty lists would not have been 25 Negroes as against 5 whites. Many white people expressed doubts of the truth of the "massive" stories sent out. It appears that the purpose of those stories was to cloak the robbery of Negroes by white landlords and agents. Prints charged by landlords' and plantation stores as compared with those in the open market: Plantation Open Market Bacon (cheapest grade, known as sour belly) . $5.50 lb. .20 Mary Jane Molasses 2.00 gal. 1.10 Compound lard . 56 lb. .28 Sack of flour 24 lb. .2.50 1.25 In one case a Negro was charged $50 for two second-hand plows which cost when new, $16 each. In another case, a set of rope plow lines which cost 25 cents each were sold for $3.50 to the Negro. In another case a Negro was charged $58 for a tow sack and 4 bushels of cotton seed, the value of which was $4.00. In another case a Negro was charged $52.60 express for moving of nine pieces of furniture 100 miles by freight. The actual cost could not have been over $5. There have been numerous lynchings in the past when Negroes have attempted to obstruct settlements from landlords and the organization of a combine for the purpose of protesting against such outrageous conditions as these.
