PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS "SITUATION IS CRITICAL" MOB - PRES THE ROLAND HAYES RECITAL Roland W. Hayes, the great Boston Negro tenor, who is to sing at the Central Y. M. C. a auditorium on the evening of October 5th, is in voice and musical attainment the finest singer the race has yet produced. He has sung to the most musical and critical audiences, white and colored, in the United States with the greatest success. No other colored artist has as high commendation from the great musical critics in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and the other cities as Mr. Hayes has. Phillips Hale, of Boston, and H. E. Krebhiel, of New York, and the finest musical critics in America. Both of these compare Mr. Hayes with MucC'mack, the great American tenor, and Clement, the French tenor. It is believed that is a matter of race pride Mr. Hayes coming will be an occasion for a capacity house next Wednesday evening. Mr. Hayes will be accompanied by Mr. William L. King, who is a fine pianist, having studied in America under Mr. E. Gilbert Anderson, and in France under Mme. Cecil Chandora, the first pianist of Nante Conservatory of France. Mr. King is a most sympathetic accompanist and possesses a fine sense of rhythm and colors tone effectively. The following is a list of the pairnesses of the recital: Mesdames Laura Robinson, William O. Stokes, Ora Young, N. A. Anderson, Lloyd H. Cox, J. N. Samuels-Belboder, Robert H. Mallory, B. F. Aldridge, Alice Hunter Smith, Eugene Lucas, E. T. Banks, Sarah Wells, T. A. Dixon, George Ellis, L. J. Rice, J. B. Parsons, Joe Riffe, Letitia Downing Rose, L. W. Hatchee, Gilbert Evans, M. H.

MRS. ESTELLA THOMAS, Secy. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The meeting at Zion Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon was well attended despite the inclementity of the weather. The address by Mayor Switzer was a message filled with hope and inspiration for all who were in the last concerned about the present spirit of unrest which now seems to be curving the whole of our body politic. The Jubilee Singers from Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., renamed several selections of Negro Spirituals most effectually. They were enthusiastically received by the large audience of men and women who were present. Besides the address by Mr. Switzer and the rendition of Jubilee songs by the Fisk quartet, there was a short, but encouraging talk delivered by Mr. H. D. Dickson, General Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association of Dayton, Mr. Dickson brought to us a message of hope and encouragement relative to our Branch.

DA TON, OHIO, FRIDAY OCTOBER 10, 1919 GEORGIA UNDER MOB RULE Mcb Threatens to Murder Six Negro Captives Another One Shot, Two Whipped and Six are Under Arrest WASHINGTON, Ga., Oct. 5.—One Negro was shot to death tonight, two others were whipped and five are being held, it was said, for lynching by a mob that since daybreak this morning has been scouring the swamps and cane breaks of Lincoln county for Jack Gordon, Negro, who shot and killed Red Freeman, a deputy sheriff, and wounded a citizen, who attempted to aid the deputy. The Negro who was shot and killed and the two who were whipped by the mob were said to have made boastful remarks regarding the killing of the deputy sheriff. The five being held were captured near the scene of the killing. Members of the mob asserted tonight they would be held until Gordon, who was captured late today by the police, can be taken with them to the scene, it then being the mob's announced intention to lynch all six of the Negroes. More than 1,000 persons packed the courthouse square here tonight and demanded that Gordon be turned over to them. NEGROES BURNED FOR KILLING OF WHITE OFFICER One Black Man Shot to Death and Other Two are Cremated LINCOLNTON, Ga., Oct. 6.—Three Negroes tonight had paid lynch law's penalty for the fatal shooting early Sunday morning of "Red" Freeman, a deputy sheriff of Lincoln county. The mob, which spent all of yesterday and most of the night searching through swamps and canebrakes for Jack Gordon, the Negro accused of killing the sheriff, had dispersed tonight and the county was quiet, although a search was being made for evidence showing that other Negroes were implicated in the shooting. Gordon and William Brown, who is alleged to have aided Gordon in escaping after the shooting, were burned at the stake before daylight today by a nfob of 1,000 persons after Gordon had been taken from Lincoln county officers who captured him. Mose Freeman, a Negro charged with misleading members of the mold during their search for Gordon, was shot to death when he tried to escape Deputy Sheriff Freeman died today from the gunshot wound inflicted by Gordon. Gordon was caught five miles from Washington, Ga., late Sunday night and kept in jail there until 2 o'clock this morning when he was turned over to the authorities of this county. Once in Lincoln county, the mob seized the Negro, brought up Brown, who had been caught earlier in the night and fastened both to an old wagon axle. Wood and trash were piled around the Negroes and the torch applied. Victim of Judge Lynch Was Under Sentence for Wounding White Man MACON, Ga., Oct. 7. 7—Eugene Hamilton, a Negro under 10-year sentence for an attempt upon the life of Charles Tingle, Jasper county farmer, was taken from Sheriff Middlebrooks, of Jones county, near here, today and shot to death at daylight near Monticello, in Jasper county. A mob of about 60 men held up the sheriff of Jones county who was trying to bring Hamilton to Macon for safe-keeping, having heard of plans to take the Negro from Grady, where he had been sent by the Jasper county sheriff. Tingle was not severely wounded, but friends had made threats that they would "get" Hamilton, whose motion for a new trial was denied and was appealed to the Georgia court of appeals. A coroner's jury today investigated the lynching of Hamilton and returned a verdict of "death from gun wound at the hands of parties unknown to the jury." APPEAL TO CONGRESS FOR AID BOSTON, Oct. 7. The National Equal Rights league, which is under Negro leadership, with headquarters here, telegraphed the chairman of the judiciary committees of Congress today, saying that the triple lynching at Lingolnton, Ga., "makes two triple, one near double and one single lynching in eight days." The telegram urges "that this constant mob murdering" imposes a duty in the committee "of formulating legislation giving the federal government original jurisdiction over lynchings." PRESIDENT WILSON ASKED TO SPEAK AGAINST MOB RULE Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, Oct. 1—Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Puskegee Institute, gave out today a letter which he addressed to President Wilson on the subject of lynching and mob violence in this country, in which he made the following statement: "I want especially to call your attention to the intense feeling on the part of the colored people throughout the country towards white people, and the apparent revolutionary attitude of many Negroes which shows itself in a desire to have justice at any cost. The riots in Washington and Chicago and near-riots in many other cities have not surprised me in the least. I predicted in an address several months ago, at the fiftieth anniversary of the Hampton Institute, on the second of May—ex-President Taft and Mr. George Foster Peabody were present at the time—that this would happen if the matter was not taken hold of vigorously by the thoughtful elements of both races. "I think the time is at hand, and I think of nothing that would have a more salutary effect on the whole situation now than if you should in your own wise way, as you did a year ago, make a statement regarding mob law; laying especial stress on lynching and every form of injustice and unfairness. You would lose nothing by specifically referring to the lynching record in the past six months; many of them have been attended with unusual horrors, and it would be easy to do it now because of the two most recent ripts in the North, notably, Washington and Chicago. The South was never more ready to listen than at present to that kind of advice, and it would have a tremendously stabilizing effect, as I have said, on the members of my race. "You very probably saw the account of the lynching in Georgia, of an old colored man seventy years of age who shot one of two intoxicated white men in his attempt to protect two colored girls who had been commanded to come out of their home in the night by these two men. The colored man killed the white man after he had been shot by one of the white men because he had simply protested. "I am enclosing the lynching record for the past six months and an editorial from the Atlanta Constitution, which strongly denounces mob violence. "With all kind wishes, and assuring you of no desire to add to your burdens, but simply to call attention to what seems to me vital not only for the interest of the twelve millions of black people, but equally as important for the welfare of the millions of whites whom they touch, I am, "Very sincerely and gratefully, "R. R. MOTON." In reply to this letter President Wilson wrote Dr. Moton as follows: "Thank you sincerely for your letter of August eighth. It conveys information and suggestions, the importance of which I fully realize and for which I am sincerely obliged. I will take the suggestions you make under very serious consideration, because I realize how critical the situation has become and how important it is to steady affairs in every possible way. "Again thanking you for your public-spirited co-operation, "Cordially and sincerely yours, "WOODBROW WILSON." REV. ARNOLD AT HOME Rev. Mr. John Arnold, who has been in the East all summer, singing at the Auditorium in Ocean Grove and conducting meetings in New York City.

Young, of: Philips Brooks’ Memorial Chapel, Philadel- phiz,, preached at both morning and evening gervides last Sunday to the delightful instruction of those pres- ent, He appealed in both his sermons for the spirit of sacrifice in the effort of the Christian to reach the ideal of the Master: “No man who putteth his hand to the plough and looking back is worthy of the Kingdom of heaven.” Retrospection is sometimes dangerous, The past is trreparable. To turn one’s eye from the plough is to risk the making of a crooked furrow, God's work must be done with attentive and intense intention. This naturally demands the whole man,—ourselves, our souls, and bodies —body, mind and spirit.” "These sermons were strangely 2 continuation of the subject dealt with by Father A. H.

Property losses, (estimated) $1,000,000. Citizens thrown out of employment through injuries, 125. It is obvious that rioting is a losing game—it pays no dividends, except in broken heads, bruised bodies and killed. It pillages cities, upsets business, robs industry of much needed workmen, and, over and above all these, it stirs up sentiment of men against men that requires weeks and months to overcome. It is un-American, to begin with. As long as the constitution exists and laws continue to be framed, rioting is little less than anarchism, since it consists chiefly in disregard for the organized channels of handing out justice. It is expensive—look at it from any angle one chooses. It never decided an issue definitely. Mob rule terrorizes communities and leaves in its wake broken homes and the stain of blood that, like the tragic stain which followed the murder of Duncan by Lady Macbeth "will not out." America has gained some very decided impressions about rioting during the last few months. It has appeared to be a scourge fatally sweeping the nation. In balancing our books, checking up the fruitful results, and marking off the injuries to civic pride, one is forced to admit there has been gained nothing of consequence. As long as we countenance so mad a thing as lawlessness in the United States, we must be prepared to pay the price. And it is a price that is wholly out of proportion to what we have gained through the regime of insanity.-Dayton News. NO PLACE FOR RACE HATRED "Every person should cultivate three things: 1. Warm hearts. 2. Cool Heads. 3. Open Minds. "These are the words of a friend to humanity, which should have our whole-hearted approval and be put into effect by every one of us. They set forth a sane and practical advice for this reconstruction era. For there is no place now for rash and inflammatory words nor race hatred, but both races should think and act rightly in dealing with one another. There is but one standard for our actions and dealings, and that is the standard SEE LINDSEY For Bargains in Trunks, Jewelry Silverware, Cuttery, Leather Goods, Etc. 130 Jefferson Street Superior Hair System MME. L. HUNTER, Hair and Scalp Specialist Superior System, formerly of Indianapolis, Ind. There are many kinds of so-called Hair Growers, so many widely advertised as possessing qualities that are not borne out by actual test, that it is more than pleasing to find a preparation that has quietly, yet surely, won its way to recognition by the personal experience of women who have really benefited by its use.

Hunter has made a scientific study of hair and scalp for eight years and is able to help all who will consult her.

What corrects the ills of one gives another no relief—just so with your scalp. Let a hair specialist who gives individual personal study to each case look after your hair needs. It can be truthfully said of all Mme. L. Hunter's preparations, they grow the hair, leading all others. Marvelous in results, satisfying and convincing is Mme. L. Hunter's Superior Hair preparations.

His rights as a true and loyal American citizen; a fair distribution of the public school funds; a man's chance before the civil and criminal courts; to vote as a citizen of this great republic and an opportunity for public improvement in general. The Negro is not pleading to be mayor or governor of any city or state in the South, yet every qualified Negro should be allowed to vote for the mayor or the governor, and the qualification for the white man to vote should be the same for the Negro. This plea of the Negro is not radical, but conservative, and a right, and under God it should be made until it is heard and granted. "As for mob violence in our country, it can be stopped by every one of us obeying the law, white and black. Especially should the white man, who makes the law, obey it. The Negro as a rule believes in law and order, but the masses have decided individually to protect themselves against mobs as far as possible. This decision was not made solely by the Negroes from the result of the teaching of any leaders, but it is in keeping with the spirit of the new era. It is the outgrowth of the war—self-protection. This fact is verified by the accounts of the recent, race disturbances in our country."—San Francisco Call. UNITY, GREAT NEED OF THE RACE AT PRESENT This is an age of monopolies, trusts, combines and unions. If one must enter combat with a skilled antagonist it behooves him to be armed with weapons that will best insure his success. Concerted action and collective bargaining have proven to be the most effective weapons of this commercial age. In fact, no class or race of people can scarcely hope for success unless it is thus armed. The Negro race can not hope to be any exception to this most universal law. Organization is an effective weapon for both defensive and offensive purposes the fateful mandate—unite or perish—has gone forth to the civilized world. Shall the Negro race plod heedlessly on whilst the rest of the civilized world is organizing to wage the greatest economic and industrial conflict the people has ever known? The Negro people must get together if the hope to secure for themselves a reasonable portion of the benefits that should come to the victors in the great worlds war. During this period of reconstruction and readjustment of the world's activities to a peace basis, the voice of the individual will not be heard. Only large groups and organizations will be able to obtain a hearing. Where the world again swings into her accustomed stride, with peace guaranteed for ages by the "League of Nations," grievances left unadjusted may be compelled to await another upheaval of the world's peaceful relations. Hence at this period the people of the entire civilized world are pressing to have their grievances adjusted. Will the Negro unite his forces and for once present an unbroken front to the world in order to obtain a hearing at this most opportune moment? Do not forget that this is a time of reconstruction. A time at which every race and class of people is trying to secure a berth in which it may be compelled to remain perhaps for centuries. Each one seems to think now is the psychological moment for the adjustment of his grievances. In our humble opinion the peoples of the world are not mistaken. Now is the time for readjustments. Let the Negro people be a unit as to those grievances which most affect their economics, industrial and social welfare. When our leaders appear before the proper tribunal for the readjustment of those evils that have proven such in the past, they must feel that a united race stands at their back and supports their every contention—Atlanta Independent.
