THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE VOL. 13 NO 49 A Splendid Step to Break Up Peonage. By The Negro Associated Press Atlanta, Ga. Feb 11. - Suite seeking $25,000 damages will be brought in Federal district Court against Tom Erwin, wealthy farmer of Oglethrop County, by two Negroes alleged to have been held in a state of peonage, their attorney, Roy S Drennan, says: They are Grover White st Walter Martin. The basis of the suit is false arrest and imprisonment, said to have been caused by Erwin, so that the men might be held in bondage on his property. Martin told District Attorney Hooper Alexander he had been worked by Erwin 8 years receiving his food and clothing. White told of serving 3 years in similar circumstances. On several occasions, the men said, they escaped but were captured and flogged Their story is one of many relating to peonage on which the district at tortneys appeals "to the conscience of the people of Georgia" were based. Erwin was an overseer on the estate of the late Jim Smith, whose holdings of millions are involved in complicated litigation. First Hand Information Brought the Decision. By The Negro Associated Press Boston, Mass. Feb. 11.—That real first hand knowledge of the Negro creates a genuine interest in his welfare, is attested in the case of Mrs. Margaret Deland, the writer, who declared in a statement, "I regard this problem as of very grave importance to the nation. It needs the enthusiastic support of all persons interested in the welfare of the country. In France, the Negro soldiers fought for democracy and died for it. Tnose who survive have come home and are not allowed to live democracy. They learned a lesson on the battle-field which they never forget." Mrs. Deland cannot explain why she had not regarded the Negro question of supreme importance in all the years of travel and observation which she enjoyed before the war. She confesses that she became an enthusiastic convert following the study made at Hampton and wishes that everybody interested in the welfare of the country might study the question at first hand as she has done. They Are Hypocrits. (By The Negro Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Penna., Feb. 11. —Persons who profess Christianity and yet continue to discriminate against Negroes or Japanese in California, are hypocrites declares Professor Charles Zueblin in the last of his series of lectures on "Americanization, at the Witherspoon Hall. Professer Zueblin declared that true religion is not exclusive and that there can be no religion that admits some to the advantages of America, and not others. "Love your neighbors." according to his interpretation, means to treat Japanese, Africans and natives of other countries alike. He urged the "back to the countries" movement as a cure Honors His Wife With Useful (By The Negro Associated Press.) Hampton, Va., Feb. 11—Dr. Francis Greenwood Peabody, Professor in Harvard University and distinguished author, delivered today an address en "Radiant Living" at the dedication of a resthouse at Hampton Institute, which had been erected by Henry Van Sibderen of Brooklyn, in memory of his wife, Katherine White Van Sibderen. Dr. Peabody paid the following tribute to Mrs. Van Sinderen:— "Wherever she went there was sunshine, light in dark places, warmth for lives that had been chilled, the radio-activity of generous love. No soldier in the trenches died for his country more unquestionably than this lovely girl, born with all the privileges of life which have so often tempted young women to aimlessness and selfishness, but maintaining her passion for service." Dr. Frantz Boas' Views on the Race Problem. New Haven, Conn., Feb 11.—Writing on the Negro problem in the January Yale review, Franz Boas, an antropologist of note, says, "The greatest hope for the immediate future lies in a lessoning of the contrast between Negroes and whites which will bring about a lessening of class consciousness. It would seem therefore, to be in the interest of society to permit rather to restrain marriage between white men and Negro women. It would be futile to expect that our people would tolerate into marriages in the opposite direction, although no scientific reason can be given that would prove them to be detrimental to the individual." Florida Organizing to Better Conditions. Jacksonville. Fla. Feb. 11. A Community Service work has been organized by the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce Earnest T. Attwell was chosen to complete the organization and has succeeded in getting the hearty co-operation of the Colored people in the city to Join with him in the movement. The Ways of Georgia To American Citizens. Talbottom. Ga., Feb. 11. Samuel Williams was found dangling from a tree not far from here last Sunday morning. Up to this time no reason can be assigned by the local authorities, for the lynching of the man. An investigation has been started by local police officers. Wants the Negro by Force. By The Negro Associated Press Moultrie, Ga., Feb. 11.—Farmers in Mitchell County have taken drastic steps to rid their section of Negro laborers recruiters. These recruiters have been very busy signing up Negro laborers and taking them to other parts of the country. This has caused a scarcity of farm hands and prompts the farmers to efforts to rid the section of the recruiters for many present day ills. Real productive or creative work, he believes, will cure much of the discontent that is being fostered by artificial city life. CAPTAIN W. L. HUTCHERSON OF BUXTON, IOWA "THE NEGRO." THE NEGRO. The Negro is the greatest race, That e'er drew breath of life; Through jeers and sneers, he kept the pade Yea, kept it through a strife. When cotton on their masters' soil Where white like balls of snow; No matter how he had to toil, The Negro had to go. And when the fields were ripe with grain, Apparently going to rack; If miserably ill, or stooped with pain, They called the Negro from his shack. "Go in yon field, and save the grain," Was the Masters' stern command. Or, the blood that flows your veins Will run like water upon the sand. Submissively he slowly went But in the heart's deep cell, What fervent prayers he upward sent Takes God Himself to tell. In after years, the answer came And healed his wounded heart; "The bands of slavery are rent in twain", "Twas then the Negro made a start. He leaped into a brand new field To live or die, and lol! The Masters' shrieked when they heard the appeal To loose him, and let him go. No record since was ever made In just a few short years; Like the one that the darker shade Made through bitter tears. Wherever other races have been The Negroes' been there too. From the great big white house inn Down to a juror's pew. And if the Negro comes this far In such a little time; He'll bid each gate to stand ajar Before old twenty-nine. The clubs we have for Negro rights Are doing their level best.. Are holding council with the whites Wont let them have their rest. What they want is equal rights To go'where they will or may; Not to mingle with the whites But where e'er their money say. If it says a Pullman ride Until they reach Frisco; Sell 'em their fare without that chide Stop! saying to them Jim Crow. Or if the Negro stoops to steal As others have done; Turn him o'er to a court that's real And not to a mob to be hung. For he is human just like them Not dogs as they suppose. God made us all from out the clay Not just the race, Negroes. And when He drank, that bitter cup And wore the thorny crown; He meant for all men to be up And not one man to be down. The same who said: Thou shalt not steal The rights of another man", Has said when you thus hear an appeal You lend a helping hand. Kind friends, I've given you a sketch Of the subject that you choose; To let you know the wings are stretched Of this great race—NEGRO. —PEARL HARDING. REV. J. W. President of State B. Y.

GAYDEN. --- Men of Our Times In the year off 1900 we overheard a group of young men discuss the general hopelessness of things. They were colored, they were poor, and competition in New York was too strong If only they had some capital they would do something wonderful, but as it was they hadn't a chance. At the very moment those young men were lamenting their fate a youth of their age was seeking his opportunity, and he soon found it. 'REPUTATION COMES FROM PERFORMANCE' This is the motto, righteously lived up to, of R. W. Justice, director of the New York Academy at 417 Lenox Avenue, New York City In other words a man is known by his deeds of performance rather than by any high sounding promisary phrases. Mr. Justice is essentially a constructor, a doer of things as his aggressive jaw and determined manner denote. And to his hard work, patient application and ambitious toil the New York Academy stands as a monument. Hard work, grit and determination have made it what it is to-day—the greatest independent Negro educational institution in the city of New York. A few short years ago this institution was but a stripling in the educational field. To-day it grands foremost in the Metropolis and almost unique in the race and one of the few schools recognized by the United States Government as deserving a place on the Federal Board of Vocational Training for criple United States Soldiers. The school has just been federalized and given a contract by the Federal Board. Justice and his associates are very proud of the New York Academy. One notes that the instant he enters the well equipped study rooms of the schools There is a corp d'esprit among teachers and students that promises great things for the commercial future of the Negro race. The work done in the School and the results obtained have been often complimented by the House of Pitman, Business Schools, and prominent educators. Mr. Pitman himself, writing of Mr Justice and the New York Academy has said: I have received your School Catalogue, I thank you for it and congratulate you and the School upon the wonderful achievements during the last ten years. 'You have exhibited a thoroughness and a patience and perseverance that is rarely found outside the pages of fiction. I trust that you will continue to grow and to. progress, and that you will have a great large School Building some day, which you deserve and which you have worked hard enough for. "A man like you can never fail. You have our best wishes for continued success and growth. Mr. Justice has dedicated his life to service of his race in the capacity of an educator. His words on this subject show a high nobility of purpose paired with indomitable courage and relentless determination. The didication of any man to helpful service among his fellows is one of the most beautiful things that can happen on this earth. The words in which Mr. Justice tells of his dedication constitutes two of the most beautiful paragraphs in the English language. They are: "I have found my task, fortune will be unkind to lure me from it by considerations of material gain and ease, or through, any vagri-ies to which human frailty is susceptible. My highest personal ambition is to SEWING ESTABLISHMENT WHERE YOU CAN GET MADE TO ORDER Aprons, Shirts, Underwear, House-Dresses. SPECIAL ATTENTION TO MAIL ORDERS CALL TO SEE OR WRITE- MRS.

Another State Added PINK BOLLWORM FOUND IN NEW MEXICO. Agricultural College, Miss. January 21.—Latest news of the pink hollworm situation has just been received by the State Entomologist of Mississippi in a report which Dr. W. D. Hunter of Houston office of the Federal Horticultural Board is sending to Remember the Friends Around You as well as the Friends in Mass. "Spills the Beans." (By The Negro Associated Press.) Washington, Feb.. 11. | The news has reached Washington that vice-President elect Coolidge went down to Atlanta and literally "spilled the beans." The distinghished Massachusetts state men was one of the chief guests of the Southern Tariff Congress which met in Atlanta last week. One of the features of the program mapped out for him by his host was a meeting at which he spoke to the Colored people of Atlanta. This meeting was held in the First Congregational Church. Governor Hugh M. Dorsev presided and the cream of the Colored population were out in abundance. Spelman Seminary and Moorehouse College provided a musical program "that delighted the distinguished guest and the auditors as well." Among other things Mr. Collidge said: It come from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts where there are many people interested in your welfare, who have contributed money without end to the upbuilding of these institutions that you are interested in, in order that you might profit by the very best that they have They sent among you too, teachers, who have undertaken to help and instruct you in all that is best on this side of paradise; and perhaps you owe to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its citizens something of a debt of gratitude. "But as great as all that maybe, all that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and your friends there have done for you, does not compare with that which the people around you have done for you; and friendly though the people of Massachusetts have been, and helpful though they may have been, you have no better friends than who live about you here and contribute always to your welfare, your success and your happiness. And if you want to make good for the work that has been done by the men and women of Massachusetts, then continue in your well doing; continue to co-operate with the people around you the entomologist of the cotton states. This report reviews the pink bollworm work done by the Federal Horticultural Board during the past season, gives a summary of the time spent in scouting each state, and names the new infestations discovered, including two counties in New Mexico and the district around Shreveport, Louisiana. Included in the report too are the plans to be followed during the coming season, also figure giving the cost of cleaning up infested areas and maintaining non-cotton zones. These items and others of equal importance make the report of great interest to cotton growers, bankers, and other commercial interests of the State. A copy will be gladly furnished anyone writing the State Entomologist, Agricultural College, Miss. Hunter H. Kimball, Chief Inspector State Plant Board. here; continue in your industry, in your work day by day, "I want, as an American, to see you increase in your character; to see you progreas in your material welfare; to see you continue to exemplify, as you have done the very best there is in the character of men and women, and, in the devotion always—whatever your temptations may be—that which you have exemplified from time to time to America, to its flags, to its institutions and to its preservation forever." This was the closing sentence of Mr. Coolidge's speech. At least this is the report of it sent out of Atlanta. From what can be gleaned from the comments of some of the prominent Colored men and women here in Washington, Mr. Coolidge fails utterly to catch any of the present-day spirit of the Colored people in the city Atlanta excepting in his particular reference to the matter of "temptation" to be other than Americans-Things are very quiet here in a general way. It may be the calm before the proverbial storm. Nobody seems to have any idea what is going to happen. It may be that this condition of uncertainty is the reason for the disturbing effort of the Coolidge speech. Founders' Day Celebrated. By The Negro Associated Press Hampton, Va., Feb. 11. "Founder's Day" has been celebrated at Hampton. Dr. Thomas E. Cregg, principal of Hampton Institute presented Dr. James Hardy-Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., The Founder's Day, speaker, with those words: We have the honor presenting a classical scholar and teacher, whose knowledge of the humanities has broadened into an understanding of humanity, a true Virginian, a true southerner, true American, and a true Christian, the trusted friend and untiring helper of the twelve million Negroes in this country exemplifying compassion without condescension, loving brother mercy and justice, an educator who draws out the best in everyone to whom he speaks, prophet of that sympathetic good will which is the bond of peace.
