Mississippi Colored Folks Tell Why Our People Are Leaving
Mississippi Colored Folks Tell Why Our People Are Leaving
Jackson, Miss., May 11. A call has been issued by the chamber of commerce of the State of Mississippi that all towns and cities in the state plan meetings on May 19th between representatives of both races to discuss ways and means of checking the labor exodus from the state, an emigration which is crippling the industry of the state.
More than 125,000 laborers have left the state within the last eight months.
A preliminary meeting has already been held at which leaders of the Irace submitted a list of requests to which the Irace is aware and which were held response for the exodus. The whites accepted the blame and have made promises to ward better conditions which the meeting scheduled for the 197 are expected to impress upon the workers of both races.
The list of grievances was added to the white people by S D Mond, M. E. Anderson, J. W. Hair, G. W. Cox, H. L. Trivine, E. W. Richardson, W. L. Moon, R. L. Johnson, A. J. Thomas, E. L. Patton, W. A. Scott, J. W. Iable, O. W. Jones, R. J. Garrett and A. M. Redmond. It contained the following:
Life Is Not Safe
The Negro feels that life is not safe in Mississippi, and his life may be taken with impunity at any time upon the slightest pretext or provocation by a white man.
The record filibuster vote and defeat by the Southern representation in Congress against the Dyer Antl Lynching bill in the last Congress has caused the Negro to believe that the South is irrevolvably determined to perpetuate Lynch law and mob violence in the South.
The Negro has generally despaired of obtaining his rights as a citizen in this section and a few of the following facts all tend to force him to this conclusion:
(a) While he realizes that the law on its face is fair, yet he feels that when it comes to an application of the law to him, only too often it is a dead letter.
(b) He realizes the fact though he is equally taxed with the white man that he gets only too often but few of its benefits, and that while all school maney, under the law, should be divided equally, that he gets only about one twentieth of his share, or, in other words, for every dollar spent for education of the Negro child in Mia-issippi, there are $20 00 spent for the education of the white child.
(c) That there are more than 1000 high schools in the state for whites that there is but one such public school in the state maintained for Negroes.
(d) That though there are about 800 consolidated rural schools in the state for whites, there is but one for Negroes.
(e) That though more than one hundred thousand dollars is spent monthly for the transportation of white children to and from school, not one dollar is spent for Negro children.
(f) That the wage paid Negro teachers is wholly insufficient to induce competent teachers, as a rule to teach Negro schools.
(g) That though all schools for whites are built out of the common fund, raised by the taxation of both white and black, the Negro is called upon by the state through its representatives to solicit charity to build his own little meager school house out of his own personal funds, supplemented by philanthropy, wherever he may, perchance, find it.
(h) Though there are about 50 old agricultural high schools supported by the state for whites, there is not one such school in the state for Negroes.
(1) That though the state has established a reformative for the derelict white youth at a cost of more than $1,000,000 and spends $30 per month per capita upon each white derelict to bring him back to good citizenship, not one dollar is spent in this way for the reformation of the Negro derelict, but he is thrown into prison among the most hardened criminals, only to be made worse.
(2) That though the state has spent millions in the establishment and maintenance of a tubercular hospital for the whites of the state, yet there is no place whatever in the state where the Negro may go and receive treatment for this dread malady, notwithstanding the fact that the Negro is said to be more subject to this disease than the
(k) That though the state has spent several million dollars for the white feeble-minded children, and although the Negroes are in the majority in the state, not one dollar has been spent to aid the feeble-minded Negro youth.
College Neglected
(1) The capacity and support of Alcoin College is not one-tenth what it should be—the state itself contributing less than 5 cents per capita. Negro population, for the higher education of Negroes.
Though there are several colleges and a state normal college maintained by the state alone for whites, no such institutions are maintained for Negroes as such—Alcoin being
STAFF SERGEANT RETIRES.
Staff Sergeant William Harris, Headquarters 1st Squadron, Ninth Calvary, Retires After Thirty. Years Active Service
Fort Riley, Kansas, May 20—Staff Sergeant William Harris, born in Asheville, N. C., in 1879, was placed upon the retired list at Fort Riley, Kansas, recently, after having complete thirty years service, including over six years double time for foreign service. He served in the 48th Volunteers, the 24th Infantry, the 9th Calvary.
Each di charge certificate of Sgt. Harris bears the notation, "excellent."
His service included duty in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, and the Philippines Islands, during he lourrection.
Sgt. Harris was a loyal, capable, and energetic Non-commissioned officer, always putting his duty ahead of personal desires. He was an officer, well known by many officers and men stationed throughout the United States and her possessions.
At 8:00 p.m. share, a double line
announced of "Old Timer" exte-
d from the extra to the service
in the State and from ten

lated honors to Staff Sgt. Hariel a
Hirer, Harril upon their eighte-
to sell for the receipt in in-

Abbeautiful 26 piece Rosemary Silver Set in chest and a large Rosemary Caviar Set, gift of the regiment, as pre cited as a token of remembrance by 1st Lieut Walter Buford with Calvary, representing the Comma diner Office, Major J. E. Richmond, Ninth Calvary, after which Stuff Sgt. Hairis made a few remarks bearing on the occasion which was enclosed by three cheers from the old timers. The following program was rendered:
Celebration Selection, Ninth Calvary Band; Talk, "Military Biography, Master Sgt. Wallace; Song, Love's Lullaby," Mrs. Bush; Piano Solo, Miss Grimes; Talk, "Old Comedship," Sgt.

The best wishes of the officers and comrades and friends follow him into his well cained retirement.
a Morill land-grant school, intended to be the equal of Starlike A, and M. college but is not given one-tenth the support heretofore given that great institution.
(M) The state maintains and supports an institution for the white blind, and has for the past 40 year, but none for the Negroes.
(n) It appears that almost innumerable Negro tenant farmers charge their landlords with either no settlement or unfair settlement, and many of these Negroes after appealing to both state and federal authorities in vain, have given up in despair and sought other climes, some of them shinging that a state of peonage exists in certain sections of the state. (o) The Negro changes that one white man's word may outweigh that of 100 Negroes. That no public improvement, as a rule, is made in those sections of towns and cities occupied by Negroes. (p) No landlord should be permitted to sell his tenant's crop but should be forced by law to deliver to him in kind.
(1) The state of Mississippi sent more Negro soldiers to the World War than whites, but the Negro boys on their return home found themselves with no more voice in the state and government which they fought to defend than the German enemy whom they helped to stay from American soil.
(2) The Negro, generally, finds himself wholly excluded from all jury service whatsoever, and from all participation whatsoever in the state and national government under which he lives.
This he holds responsible for all of his many inequalities and injustices under the law, and feels that not withstanding the kindly feelings of many to the contrary, that such a state and condition must ever remain just so long as he is denied the ballot, since history affords no example of mutual cooperation, contentment and mutual welfare where one group assumes guardianship of another and attempts to govern them without the consent of the governor.
(a) In our humble government there is no hope whatever of bringing back the Negroes who have already left the state, but the only hope now lies in taking the proper steps to retain as many as possible of those who are here.
K. I. E. I. Closes
A Successful Year
Canon David G. Beatty, of Grace Cathedral, prescheduled the sermon for the graduating class of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. A crowd of 600, including many out of town visitors, attended the services. Bishop John Paiks, the Rev. J. K. Ransom and the Rev. G. N. Jackson, of Lawrence, delivered short addresses. An offering amounting to approximately $50 was taken up for the fund of finishing the new St John A. M. E. church at Seventh

street and Topeka Boulevard.
The graduating exercises of the class were held Wednesday, a
when twenty-five students receive
their diplomas, Dr. P. J. Bryant, of
Atlanta, Ga., delivered the principal
address.
"There is a better day coming, but
I want the black folks to stay away
from white women and the white
folks to stay away from black wom-
en," said Dr. P. J. Bryant, of Atlanta,
Ga., at the commencement exercise
of the Kansas Industrial and Educa-
tional Institute, yesterday afternoon.
"To preserve the racial identity of the blacks and whites, each race must keep its blood clear. In the South there is a growing feeling for the protection of Negro womanhood. White people who are employing the members of our race are realizing that we are entitled to the same protection as members of their own families. In the South the white women are becoming the leaders in the movement against lynching. "I am glad to be in Kansas for what Kansas represents—namely a square deal for all its citizens. Young men and young women, you should know yourselves and your relationship to God. Do not make the colossal blunder of thinking too much or too little of yourselves. The color of a person is accidental, and the race itself is incidental. The work of God is the making of man and making of a man's soul and mind. "God gave us pure homes and a

spirit to fill the churches. The school such as your institute, is the handmaid on the church and the home should have the cooperation of both. It should be the object of one interested in the home and church to come out in society and make a counter or a point for the good of a community.
"The proper aim of education is to render some service that the world has never been blessed with before. Whatever be your life's calling, stay with it and see it through. I am glad that at this school you magnify the deeds, not words; that you are working, not speaking; worshiping, not shouting.
D. O. McCray, representing the state board of administration, presented the diplomas on behalf of the state. He said that Gov. Davis had promised his support to all educational institutions in Kansas without regard to color, race or creed, and that all that could be done for the educational institutions in Kansas would be done.
J. B. Larimer, who has not failed to attend a commencement in twenty years, was on the platform.
One feature of the exercises was when Samuel Stubblefield, a young
Topcka now has a chapter of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. This is the first woman's organization of its kind to be e-established here. On Friday evening, May 25, Miss Blanche Patterson, Western Organizer, assisted by Miss Louie Uttalk, both of Kansas City, initiated eight young women, five undergraduate and 3 graduates of Washburn College, into the sorority. These women form the charter members of the Upsilon chapter of Topcka. This is the twenty-first undergraduate chapter to be established. There are also ten graduate chapters.
Following the initiation Friday night at 1:00 o'clock a delicious spread was prepared by the girls at the time of Miss Jo epine Cunningham where the l ata on wa held.
Miss Helen Porter and Miss Wilrene Woods were ho te ses a. n 6 00 o'clock dinner Saturday, May 26, complimentary to Miss Patterson and Miss Unthank at Miss Forbes' home on Buchanan Street.

WAYSIDE CHIPS
By Nick Chiles
We are sorry to hear of the death of Prof. L. H. Hall, principal of the High School at Hennessey, Oklahoma, who died Sunday, May 20th. He left a wife and six children. He was a Virginian by birth. He was a lawyer, real estate man, also instructor and principal of this school for a number of years. He was married to Mrs. Lois A. Morgan of Topela, and was the brother-in-law of Mrs. Lucille Reeves, and Mrs. M. W. Freeman of this city, and Mrs. Tipton of Parson.
He was a 32nd degree Mason, and for years assisted in the normal work at Langton University. Just prior to his death he received an appointment dated June 1st, as Assistant Supervisor of Langton University. He was a high class Christian gentleman and his death was quite a shock not only to the community but the whole state of Oklahoma. His wife and children not only have the sympathy of the Topeka Plainlander but a host of friends in Topeka.
J. W. Miller of Morehead, Kansas, attended the graduating everest as an A. L. E. L., where his daughter, Nelhe graduated. She will now attend the Emprina Normal School. She is a very bright young lady and her graduating theme on "Good Churches in the Community" was fine.
George Borders of Weir, Kansas, graduated at K. I. E. I., and his, a. graduating address on Churchs was fire and enjoyed by all. Harry Smith of Oklahoma graduated at K. I. E. I. and his address was fine.
Mrs. J. R. Ransom, wife of Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, arrived from Independence last Sunday after several month's absence. She is looking find and the Reverend is covered with smiles. They are just beginning on their honeymoon which will extend for years to come, as they both are near up to the divide and will know nothing but love and affection from now on. The Reverend is looking much better, more cheerful, and the official church family seen that he is much easier to get along with since the arrival of the bride. They have nok found out what the trouble was. He was lonesome and wanted company. Mrs. Ransom is accomplished and stands high in the community from which she came and the members of St. John and the citizens of Topeka will be much benefitted and uphifted by her presence.
PORO COLLEGE
We are in receipt of a beautifully illustrated booklet, containing beautiful illustrations and cuts of the great Poro College of St. Louis, Mo. located at St. Ferdinand and Pendleton Avenue, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone. It is very interesting piece of literature, and no one can appreciate it as much as those who have known them as long as the editor of the Toneka Plumfler, who knows where they are now. Our personal acquaintance existed from the old building located at 3100 Pine Street, two stories and basement, about 50 or 75 feet depth and 35 feet front. We were at the installation and opening of the new building at its present location as mentioned above at a cost of over a half million dollars, equipment of main building about $550,000, annex, 16,000, guage and other buildings at a cost of about $32,000, besides the enormount amounts for furniture and other things. They have thousands of agents and employees over the United States and Europe, and employ a host of clerks, stenographers, typists and machine operators. They use datalines, multigraphs, mimeographs, and every other kind of machine to operate the business, besides the numerous cash registers, adding and calculating machines. They have several departments, in which are some of the brainstorm people of the Race, both men and women. It is certainly pleasure to visit the office and note that is being carried on by Colored people, not a white person employed in the building. They manufacture everything pertaining to the decoration and beauty of women's hair and toilet articles for beautifying the skin they teach the trades, manufacture our tooth paste, and every article for making of beautiful women. It is wonderful to see their mail sent out and received. A large truck is used for this purpose. Mr. and Mrs. Malone are high class, cultured Christian people, who are spending thousands of dollars each year helping poor, unfortunate Colored Orphan children and old people, beiding donating thousands to the different charitable institutions over the country. This is a concern where anyone who spends money gets full value received and something else besides.

PEOPLE IN WESTERN KANSAS MAKING PROGRESS
By Nick Chiles
We visited Manhattan, Ft. Riley, Junction City, Abilene, Salina, Elsworth. At Manhattan Agricultural College several Colored students making good. We stopped with Mr. Preston Phillips and wife. They own a nice home and are progressive. Mrs. Phillips conducts a beauty parlor and unusual hawking out to Suopp is one of the leading politicians and a contractor. He has several contracts for cleaning wall paper, paint and the like. Mrs. Edmonia Alexander returned from California, sometime ago where she visited friends and relatives. She says she enjoyed the trip very much. She owns a nice home and is a quite energetic lady. Her son, George Alexander, is employed at the Rock Island and has been for a long while. Mr. Andy Lewis who for twenty years was special delivery messenger and fifteen years carried mail from the depot is now blind and has been for some time. We think the Government should do something for him, L. C. Cavens one of our old subscribers, has been on the sick list but is much better. We are proud to meet Mr. Garret Owens, a young artist, a fine painter who can draw any picture at sight. He has just completed a course with the Washington School of Correspondence. It is a pleasure to

see the paintings and drawings done by this young man and the ambition he has to continue his work. If he keeps it up he will be able to command a good position at some school, Mrs. M. D. Jones president of the Woman's Foreign Mission Society of the Smoky Hill District is loved by all of the members of the Baptist denomination of that district as well as members of other churches. She has just raised thousands of dollars to carry on the missionary work and just sent $100.00 to Crn. Frances B. Watson at Monrovia, Liberia to bring a little native African girl to be educated and trained. The girl has been adopted by the Woman's Convention, which met last year in Salina and has been named Martha B. Jones and will come to this country to be educated. Mrs. Jones is due away on her vacation trip in a short while with her employers. She will visit Hartford, New York and Fishers Island. She is also very much interested in charity work and helping decrepile Colored women and orphan children. She also contemplate going to California to visit her adopted daughter, Miss Alta, who very recently married D. A. Richardson of Los Angeles. They are doing fine and enjoying life. Miss Alta is also a great church worker, Mrs. Jones is very industrious and owns good property.
While traveling over the state we heard considerable talk among the Methodists, especially ministers, concerning the delegation to the next General Conference, which will be held in Louisville, Ky., in 1924. There is much sentiment for Kew, J. C. Cowens, presiding elder of the Parsons district, leading the delegation. He is an old soldier, having served in the War of the Rebellion, '63-65. He is a high class Christian, Race gentleman, and if sent to the General Conference will look after such legislation that will be of interest to the members of the Church of that denomination and the people at large as well. There is also considerable talk about rotating the Bishops. We do not think this is a bad idea. Every African Methodist should know every bishop on the bench and he should know his people and the only way to do this is rotate them and they will get in communication with the church as a whole and be able to size up the conditions in the various sections of the country, know one condition in Georgia and another in Kansas and that the same legislation might not act the same way in both places, or on different people. Another thing, the African Methodists have made a mistake in sending old men as bishops to Africa.
Whatought to be done is to have some young ministers, who are graduates of medical schools and have had some experience in mechanical trades to go over their and hustle among the natives and instruct them how to make farms and also administer to their medical wants as much as possible. Just for a man to go continued on Page 2.

over there with the title of Bishop $2,500 a year, with half of his life spent over here before he goes as an outrage on the Africans as well as the people of this country who put up the money. What the people need now is service. The Bishop could be sent over once a year to overlook the work of these young ministers and see that it is properly carried out by giving his influence, presence and advice. These old foils can not lay on the ground, make a pillow out of stone and watch the stars by night as Jacob did, nor clamp the ladder. They might dream too long and never result in any good. If the African Methodist church expects to keep apace with the times, younger men to the front and use new ideas and methods. The financial department needs overhauling too. It is much deranged and the economical side of the question or proposition has never been considered by either Bishop laymen or any of the various departments of the church. They will do business on the happy-pro-lucky system, hit or miss. So we want men like Rev. Owens to go to the next General Conference with an idea to carry out something as suggested in this article.
