The Savannah Tribune --- VOLUME XXXIII Tuskegee Inst. Grand Closing Exercises Tuskegee Inst. Grand Closing Exercises DR. BARNETT GIVES IMPRESSIVE CHARGE TO GRADUATES Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville Delivers Commencement Address Tuskegee, Ala, May 23—The day was bright and the crowd from far and near began to come early in wagons, buggies, automobiles. It was a typical Tuskegee Commencement crowd, which is always quiet, happy and eager. Soda water and ice cream cones which were sold, partly for the benefit of the Red Cross, added to the pastime and good nature of the crowd and at noon the visitors were guests of the institute at an old fashioned dinner served in the open air. Today's exercises were the last features of the thirty-seventh anniversary exercises which began Sunday, May 19th when Dr. Frank Willis Barnett, the fearless editor of Alabama Baptist delivered the commencement sermon in the institute chapel. Dr. Barnett took for his text. "God is Love" and in the course of his remarks paid generous tribute to Dr. Washington, the founder of Tuskegee Institute and to Dr. Moton, the present principal. Dr. Barnett's Remarks In his charge to the graduating class Dr. Barnett said: "I want to say this word to the graduates: You have been at this institute, and this institute stands not only to give you the best there is in civic affairs, but to fit you to gain an honorable livelihood; but I know this institution wants to send each one of you out with the stamp of character in your lives. You have worked hard for your diplomas and yet I want to tell you your diploma is but a scrap of paper, even though it may carry the seal of this great institution, unless you bear in your own bodies the marks of the Saviour, and my wish for you this afternoon is that if there be one of you who does not know Jesus Christ in the paroloning power of his blood, as his ambassador, I pray through the power of the Holy Spirit that He may come to you, and not give you rest until you find rest in the Son of God. May God be with each one of you, and may God bless you, and may you be loyal not only to this institution, be loyal not only to your country, but be loyal to Christ, for he profits best who serves best. "As a speaker speaking by authority of the President of the United States, I want to say to these men who have come here for special technical training, who have come to prepare to serve their country that you have the greatest opportunity which has ever come to any people, because years ago your freedom was won for you at the cost of thousands lives. A half century has passed, now you have the opportunity to win a new kind of freedom, to win it for yourselves, because you made the supreme sacrifice and you have placed your lives on the altar of your country, and I believe enough in the fair mindedness of the best people in America, that when this war is ended, this country will see to it that you are American citizens with its privileges." Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., delivered the annual address to the graduates. As is usual, all pieces on the commencement program were illustrated except the valedictory. The salutatorian, Beaurezard C. McKenzie of Tallassee, Ala., discussed "Harness Making a necessity in Every Community." In explaining the work of the harness maker and in describing the parts, the young man placed the harness on a horse which had been led to the stage. The second speaker was Daisy Bessie Smith, of Red Springs, North Carolina. She discussed the "Community Teacher" and showed how a teacher could establish a community through the forms of teaching, giving lessons in housekeeping, canning, cooking and community organization; at the same time holding the attention of the pupils through the use of the sand table, and various cuttings from magazines of pictures and up-to-date material on all subjects. "Community Dairying" by John Wesley Huguley was illustrated with the Raleck tester, the cream separator and the cow. The cow was led on the stage, described to the end of pointing out what was a good dairy cow and what was not. She was then milked, the milk was strained, tested and r through the separator to show how community dairying could be handled. Coining for thelk was the subject Jeanes Fund Supervisors Hold Conference at Fort Valley Fort Valley, Ga.—A meeting of the Jeanes Fund Supervisors for the colored schools of Georgia was called by State Supervisor, Mr. George D. Godard and Mrs. Bessie Stanley Wood, emergency agent for South Georgia at the Fort Valley High and Industrial School Friday and Saturday of last week. All of the supervisors were present at the opening session and although they are a hard-worked lot they made a splendid and restful looking appearance in their uniforms of white dresses, aprons, and caps as "Soldiers of the Commissary." The work which they have been doing and are to continue during the summer months under a little different management, is of real benefit to the communities in which they work and to all of us in the important matter of conservation of food. They had two days of steady go and studying and planning for more work and lest all work no play should do for them what it will do for "Jack" a pleasant social affair was spliced in Friday evening. Several of them are graduates of the regular or of the summer school course of this institution and were pleased to get back. The summer school session for this year opens Monday June 3rd and continues through the month. discussed by Marie Hamilton, St. Kitts, B. W. I. As a trained nurse she showed how to care for patients, giving them medicine, massages and making the bed comfortable for them.

Malachi Morse of Norfolk, Va., took his paint brush and whitewash brush and showed what paint and whitewash could do in every day life.

Charlie O. Johns, of Paris, Texas, told how the average community in the South could live out of the garden the year round. She cooked dinner out of products grown in a local garden. James Slater Gibson of Tuskegee Institute. Ala., was the valedictorian of the class. After summing up the speeches of each of his colleagues, he expanded further the idea of the modern community. Features of the Day The afternoon portion of the program included the features of the day. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock the academic procession was formed in front of Carnegie Library, and, headed by trustees, prominent visitors, officers and teachers of the school, made an imposing array as it passed through the grounds to the institute chapel. The industrial exhibition always interesting, set forth with remarkable clearness many of the activities of the school. Alumni Speaker Harry H.

SAVANNAH TO HAVE LAYMEN'S CONVENTION Executive Secretary Lewis here Making Preparations for Meetings The Laymen's Missionary Movement of the United States and Canada, with headquarters in New York City, will hold a convention with the churches of Savannah, beginning Sunday June 23d and continuing thru Wednesday the 26th. This is one of a number of conventions that are being held by this movement in various cities of the South. The purpose of the convention is to call the attention of the church more definitely to New World and New National Conditions, and to assist them in preparing the race to meet the many problems that now confront them as well as those that are sure to follow in the wake of peace. Mr. Adolphus Lewis of Philadelphia and New York City, who is the executive secretary of this movement for conventions among colored men has been in the city for the passed two weeks perfecting plans for this meeting. Both Baptist and Evangelical Ministers' Union have endorsed the work of the Movement, invited it to set up a convention and pledged their heartiest and most active support in preparing the city for it. A large inter-denominational committee consisting of upward of 250 men and representing every church in the city is rapidly being organized for the campaign of preparation. Some of the greatest speakers in the world both white and colored will come here to make the address of the convention. Completed plans will be given out in a subsequent issue of this paper.

A. B CHURCH HEARS NOTED EDUCATOR Distinguished Visitor Banqueted At Savannah Home Association The address by Kelly Miller, dean of Howard University and vice president of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, on the subject "Loyalty to Country," which was delivered at the F. A. B. Church, Franklin square was listened to by a very large and representative crowd. The address was one of the most brilliant ever delivered in this city and time and time again throughout its duration of an hour and fifteen minutes the speaker was interrupted by applause. There was not a moment in the entire address when the audience was not thoroughly captivated by the speaker's exceptionally philosophic reasoning and beautiful flow of words. Among the many things which he stressed was the necessity of the Negro having confidence in himself. He also dwelt at length upon the matter of efficiency, stating that this is an age when the world is looking for experts and that it is incumbent upon every Negro to fit himself as thoroughly as is possible if he is to share equally in the affairs of this and other countries. He touched most emphatically upon the need of race unity, race loyalty and loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. As to the benefits which are to be derived from the present titanic struggle which the world is witnessing today, the speaker said that the conditions of all oppressed people would be bettered and that the Negro will by no means be the least to receive benefits therefrom. Prof. W. P. Tucker was master of ceremonies and short addresses made by Dr. F. S. Belcher, Dr. A. S. La Fayette, Dr. C. E. Brent and Lawyer F. D. Pettie, all of whom are graduates of the university in which Prof. Miller is the dean of the faculty. Mrs. W. E. Tibbs rendered a vocal solo and the Ga-State College Glee club sang "Deep River". Immediately after the address a banquet was tendered the speaker in the beautiful auditorium of the Savannah Home Association. About one hundred and fifty persons were present at this enjoyable affair, the supper of which was excellently prepared by Jos. J. Brown, head caterer of the Savannah Home Association. Short talks were made by Messrs D. J. Scott, J. H. Butler, Rev. J. Henry Brown, Profs. R. R. Wright, W. L. Tibbs, W. D. Thomas, Lawyers F. D. Tucker and J. G. Lemen, and Mrs. W. G. Hill. Prof. S. A.

The Lingerie displayed in the shop windows is somehow different from lingerie of other days. The piles of snowy linens, sheer butstes and delicate satins and silks, as bewildering as they are, all impress one with their simplicity. Even the bows of rose and blue ribbons on the negligees seem to proclaim this new allegiance. The daunty tilings are just as bewitching as ever, even more so, if that were a possibility. Nearly all of the stores have "readymade" trousseaus that may be selected in a great hurry, of necessary. The trousseaus of the bride of 1918 is far different from those of other years. To begin with, there is not the slight- MCCALL Dainty esign for the Corset Cover and Petticoat est excuse for elaborate wardrobes. Evening gowns are out of tune with the times, and the dress that can be worn as well in the afternoon as in the evening is the one usually chosen by the bride of a soldier or sailor. Then, too, the piles of fragrant household linens are not required at present. The little bride will have plenty of time to make them, afterward. When one comes to think of it, all this haste has one real value. In olden days, "before the war" the bride, her family, and all her friends worked themselves into a state bordering on hysteria "getting ready." There was no end to the embroidery and sewing the party and "showers", and every one concerned breathed a sigh of relief, knowingly and unknowingly, when it was all over. This is not so nowadays, when everything of necessity must be simple and without fuss. The Sensible Thing At one time it was considered stolgy and frumpish to "do the sensible thing" All the glamour was taken out of life, © MOCALL and as to having a sensible troussean that was beyond the ken of womankind. Now, that, too, is changed. "The sensible thing" is the only thing to have. And besides, the plainer, more substantial things leave more in one's purse for the Belgians, Liberty Bonds and other patriotic necessities. However the sensible thing does not have to be plain or ugly. Far from it. If you are planning a trousseau or simply everhauling your wardrobe with an eye to the summer needs, the sensible things are the most important. Illustrated here are two that are most attractive. The corseat cover with its touch of dainty hand embroidery and the petticoat with its deep ruffle of embroidery flouncing are just the thing to wear under thin summer frocks. The deep V-shap neck has narrow Valenciennes insertion and lace to out- line it; around the trim waist, satin ribbon is run through beading, making a nice finish. The corset cover and the petticoat are of white wash satin, but they can be made just as dainty of batiste or nainsook. The satin is really practical, however, as it will stand many trips to the tub, and does not muss so easily as cotton goods which must be starched. Trimming Ideas Some of the fascinating "sets" are of solored batiste. The vivid yellows, greens and purples that had such a vogue after the Russian dancers with their artistic stage-settings set the fashion, have given place to the older-fashioned colors, more feminine and dainty. Sometimes the edges are bound with a contrasting color, say pink with blue, or blue with pale yellow. This binding is not always ribbon, often it is of batiste, too. Hemstitching and picot edgings are always in good taste for finishing edges and seams. Sometimes geometric designs are hemstitched into the chemise or nightie, taking this place of lace insertion. Quite often The Princess Slip Aids the Straight Silhouette one sees castings made of the same crepe de Chine or Georget tecrepe, at the top of camisoles to run the ribbon through. Tucks, too, are just as great favorites on lingerie as on more formal clothes. Beads and embroidery, too, are much in demand. The Foundation of Straight Lines Since Fashion demands that one be tall and slender, one must take every means in one's power to attain this desired state. One of the best foundations for the slim little dress of soft material is the princess slip, without any unnecessary fulness. The one illustrated here has a deep ruffle of lace with narrow lace around the neck. THANKS The Young Adelphia Aid and Social Club thank all those who patronized its excursion on Monday May 27th, to Pennyworth Rose Garden. It was a success in every way. Respectfully W. J.

Holsey Tuskegee Inst, Ala.-The prize of five ($5.00) dollars for the best letter submitted in the recent contest, conducted in conjunction with this series of weekly articles, has been awarded to Mr. Daniel W. Chase, 1609 S. street, N. W., Washington, D. Q., Mr. Chase's letter was published in Booster No. Elve. We received some very valuable and interesting material on Negro business enterprises which will go into the collection of data on this subject, which is kept in the office of the National Ne- gro Business League. While the specific request was for actual experiences with Negro merchants, many of the writers took the opportunity to advance some excellent discussions of business methods in general among our people. These discussions for the most part showed how much thought is being given to the question of patronizing race enterprises. Letters submitted by other contestants will be published from time to time. Another gratifying aspect of the contest was the small number of critical letters received. The majority of them were written in praise of some local Negro merchant and described, as did Mr. Chase, the outstaffing character of the store which appealed to the writer. We regret that the prize could not be sent to each contestant but all, I am sure, will congratulate Mr. Chase upon his success. We are grateful to all who sent the letters; and to the editor of the papers who have published the Boosters and have thus added interest to the contest. Each letter submitted was a contribution to the work of the League and a concrete indication of racial progress. Don't forget that the next meeting of the Business League will be held at Atlantic City, N. J., August 21, 22 and 23. BATH BEACH MIS. ORGANIZED The Bath Beach Baptist Mission of Bethel Baptist church was organized by the congregation of Bethel church, Bergen street, Brooklyn. N. Y., of which Rev.

Saturday June 1st, 1918 The address of Dean Kelly Miller or Howard University, which was delivered Wednesday night at the First African Baptist church, was one of the most brilliant and inspiring speeches ever heard in this city. The citizenry is deeply indebted to the local Howard University alumni for bringing this renowned educator to this city. His address, abounded with philosophy; it made his hearers all feel bigger and prouder of their race and gave them a vision of a much brighter and happier day to come. We here are sorely in need of more such gems as that delivered by this eminent educator. ISSUES AND MEN Out of the great war, and all its wide variety of effects upon society and civilization, there come great lessons and experiences which could not be except for these abnormal conditions and emergencies. Men never before have had such ideal conceptions of patriotism. Men never before knew the great dimensions of sacrifice; men never before have realized the extreme frailty of human institutions; men never before have visioned the great possibilities of national unity, nor felt the power of fellowship and brotherhood. The long reign of peace had obscured our visions and deluded our calculations. The ramifications of the great war scheme have disclosed our national weaknesses and put us to discovering ourselves and strengthening the defective places in our political, our social, our commercial and our religious nationalism. Verily, "These are times which try men's souls." On the world scale, much as within narrower spheres, it takes sudden and revolutionary occurrences to bring men to the stern realities and truths about themselves. Who could have conceived or forshadowed this present travail of the world, this dilemma and extremity of civilization,—in view of the vaunted power of humanitarianism, the reputed idealism of the educated, the saving and redeeming attributes of religious faith! Certainly none; and yet these conceived treasures and traditions which we thought possessed and directed the thought and action of the world are shattered! They lie pitifully in the dust of ignominy and shame. They mock us. The hope of the world is in the keeping of those who are still clothed in reason, with those who are not yet drunk with anger and hate and abandon, with those whose hearts are not yet tainted with unfair and uncontrollable ambitions and whose minds and hands are yet unstained of blood. The just conceptions of patriotism presume all the attributes of just and righteous manhood, and those who must save the world from dispair and then reconstruct and regenerate its civilization must be of this rare and splendid type. The grave and burning duties and responsibilities of the present are bringing a grand array of these men to the surface. Every day the American government is discovering individuals of enduring character and quality, who, except for these emergencies and exigencies, would have lived more unknown. Thus the great American government, true to its wonted and heralded traditions and its express claims, must fling wide the doors of opportunity and service that the true and good men may come out into the sunlight for the duty they may so well perform. No government, no matter what its poli- cles and purposes may be can afford to institute a policy which does not set up merit and fitness as the measure of its manhood. The moral decadence of Germany, of Spain, the collapse of Russia and others, will illustrate the awful consequences of unnatural and unjust political and religious control. The American plan, which subordinates personality, recognizing the service and the fitness of the individual rather than his blood and his antecedents, is going to count in the long run. The world is going to come into the possession of the common people, because in all races and countries these masses represent the power, the intellect and the morality of their respective groups. Class and religious domination must go. The awful and unevitable fate of the German Empire will seal the doom of unrepresentative governments everywhere. The emperor, the king, the czar as all-wise, all-powerful and self-righteous personalities will cease. We approach the day of "big" issues and large principles rather than the day of "big" men. Men will be "big" because back of their personalities will be records of "big" service to their fellow-men and to the world. The full righteous and unselfish use of opportunity will hereafter make men "big". Service alone points the way to a "big" career. THE GOOD TEACHER'S VISION We are still in the day of the preparation of the teacher. The mere education of children, the mere arming them with subject matter and information, tactics and formulae, can no longer be regarded as the completed task of the teacher; the demands of the whole child personality must be met; the vision of soul expression, of soul individuality and soul-behaviour must dawn upon the true teacher and his charge must be provided with a worthy ideal which shall be the constant goal toward which that soul moves and upon which every emotion of self and soul shall react. One of the most prominent outstanding results of this radically changed point of view is that every teacher of youth must go to school himself to the 20th century ideals and then must submit to the drudgery of the mastery of details again wherever demanded. We have passed from the field of scientific psychology to practical child study, we have left the science of sociology for the more vital field of applied social service, we have come to demand concrete expressions of individuality. The social emphasis of our day is resulting in the gradual elimination of class-consciousness, separateness and the stressing of human sympathy in the deeper undertakings of the life men live. The brotherhood of human toil is the great level of society and constitutes its bond of oneness. The child will have a deeper appreciation of the efficient workman and greater respect for his contribution to his day and time, whether it be a piece of construction, an artistic production, or a literary creation, after he himself has been put to the tasks. The vision of life's goal is of men as workers together with men and as "workers together with God," to bring truth and freedom to the earth. The science of education has had its long, weary academic debates relative to the proper relationship between theory and application, or between theory and practice. The compromise provides a just and equitable alteration and proportion between theory and application as a means of calling forth the largest power of assimilation and the greatest degree of soul development and growth. This may be expressed very accurately in the thought of a circle, where theory stimulates to the practical application of it and the practical application again makes the theory vital, both being primary as both are also secondary. One visions, the other visualizes; one systematizes, the other symbolizes. If this conception is true educationally, then both are equally culturel, and both are indispensable. The twentieth century is insisting that the education given in the schools shall not be an end in itself. The thought is directed once more to the necessity that education shall prepare for a full life, which means not only the ability to continue better thinking, but also the ability to live life out in the every day demands of a physical world. Education must result in adjustment to all the relationships of life and in the ability to meet life's demands in every way. It must mean something more than ability to dream, meditate and withdraw one's innerself from the problems of the day; it must mean the vital relation of the soul of man and the lovely, godly nature of woman to every factor and circumstance of life for the sake of the right employment and proper direction of material things for the growth and sustenance of line. Divisions and differences among men and classes result from defective and faulty childhood direction; the fall- SAVANNAH TRIBUNE ure of the teacher to set up an ideal before the child and the accompanying failure to give-direction to child motive-power. The ability to think and the proper subject-matter of thought make the beginning of a great and worthy life process. "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." This proverb had reference to soul and heart and mind direction, not to the physical and superficial. Train the mind, and set his eyes on an ideal and you give to the world a citizen who will be a worker for truth and an example liberty and fraternity. Men are not born wrong, their natures wrapped and twisted and deprived. They get wrong, are trained wrong or are made wrong under influence of bad environment and wrong direction. Social oppressions and distinctions, political corruption, religious confusion and all criminal instincts are the products of misdirection, mis-education and mis-information. Set up early in the child's life the ideals of truth, the ideals of freedom and democracy and the ideals of Christianity, and the product of graduation will set the world aright, bring peace and brotherhood and prosperity unbounded. The resourceful teacher will teach the abstract principles of good fellowship and worthy citizenship by citing glowing examples of applied fellowship and practical citizenship. There are thousands and thousands of opportunities in the school room, or the school yard, on the highway and in the market-places, where the teacher of big vision and great soul and true ideals may work out and demonstrate the great principles of earth and the abundant life. Bound as we are by conditions and requirements it is still our duty to look to the loftier purposes and opportunities in our profession, for herein lies the only salvation of the world, the only peace, the only means of arriving at a basis of brotherhood. "As a man thinketh, so is he." CONCEALING CRIMINALS By Dr. H. R. Butler One day when Jesus was very busy doing good, as was his mission on earth, someone brought before him a woman. She was accused of one of the worse crimes known among the Jewish people. Then this so-called legal adviser said to Jesus, "Now Moses, in the law commanded us that such should be stoned: but what sayeth Thou?" You know, as a rule, the fool's tongue wageth much, while the wise holdeth his tongue. Thus it was with Jesus. The scriptures say, "But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, 'He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.' Reader, you know the rest of this story. Some few days ago, there broke but here in Georgia a spirit of lawlessness that is really too shameful to think of much less to talk about during these days of awful happenings the world over. But for the message of our good governor to the colored people of the state on the subject I would rather refrain saying anything. I desire to say just here, in my opinion. Hon. H. M. Dorsey is one among the best governors we have ever had. He is approachable and he will listen to the non-voting element of his citizens as few other governors have done. We both thank and congratulate him for that very excellent quality. He very wisely critized a league of colored citizens for not placing in their protest against lynching, a protest against the crimes that led up to the lynchings. That was alright. I too, think it ought to have been placed there. But our good governor (if I made no mistake) said in his reply to the Augusta League, that when the better element of colored people convince the better element of white people that they have ceased to conceal criminals then lynching will cease, or words to that effect; when he makes that statement he simply states what the better element of colored people have been striving to do long before he was born. We do not deny that there is a criminal class among our people; we do not deny that it is larger than it ought to be, but we do say, because we do know, that as a rule this criminal class of Negroes are as far removed from the better class of Negroes as the Jews are from the Gentiles. We do declare, for we do know, that the better element of Negroes labor harder than their churches and their humble schools to reduce their criminal element than there white friends. We do know that to a very large degree our white friends are responsible for the large crop of Negro criminals by arresting young boys and girls on the most frivolous charges and placing them on gangs among hardened criminals where they are schooled for a few years. When these return home, as they usually do, they, in turn, have SATURDAY JUNE 1. 1918 classes on the street, corners nightly, extending the education in crime that our white friends have given them on the gang. For example, a boy steals a ham worth three dollars, he is sent to hard labor for one, two or more years; our white friends seemed to think that is a fine thing, but they failed to see that for every one such punishment, or imprisonment, they are making ten worse criminals. It is a plain case of "As ye sow, ye shall also reap." For fifty and more years, Georgia has sown in poor school facilities, it has sown in the manufacture of criminals, it has sown in Wickedness. It has sown race hatred, and now it is reaping its awful harvest. He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone. Now let us see about this thing. Let's be fair. Supposing the colored people do shield criminals, is not our white friends guilty of the same charge? Will some of them tell us who is shielding the criminals that lynched Leo Frank? Will some one tell us who is shielding the criminals that lynched the very Negroes the good governor is writing about? Will some one tell us who is hiding all these criminals in this state today? I am sure they are not colored people. Let him who is without fault in this matter feel free to criticize his fellow citizen. It seems to me the thing for us all to do is to acknowledge our faults and then take a firm stand for the right and the supremacy of the law. If there is any one thing that I know, it is that I know my people and I know there is no Negro in Georgia that would dare attack a white woman unless he is crazy; and I have always contended that these half-witted men of all races roaming about through the country and cities ought to be placed in safe keeping by the state before they commit these offenses that not only disgrace the state, but cause the innocent to suffer. This and other social problems have been neglected by the state while the politicians were attending to problems more personal. I further believe that no person but a pro-German sympathizer would take part in lynching at this time. It is one of the tender spots in the South on which those pro-German sympathizers are attempting to create internal strife. I woul advise the general government to make a close investigation of every case of lynching and other race disturbances in the South in search of pro-German sympathizers. All we ask is to be let alone; we want to work, we want to fight in the trenches; we want to raise our crops to help feed the nation, our armies and work and lend our money to a government in the way of bonds and Thrift Stamps. There has always been crime in the world, but let's all be fair to acknowledge our part and then strive to better conditions. He that is without sin among us, let him cast the first stone. AT THE X. M. C. A. The Black and Tan orchestra filled the program for the "Y" on last Sunday. The idea of being entertained by an orchestra on Sunday afternoon drew out an unusually large crowd. This orchestra has long since won the applause of the music-loving Savannahians, while occupying the orchestra stand on picnics, at banquets, etc. but on last Sunday it made a new record by pulling off a sacred concert to the delight of a large audience.

RESOLUTION AGAINST MOB SPIRIT IN GEORGIA The following resolutions were adopted by the South Atlantic Medical Society at its meeting Thursday of last week: Whereas: there are multiplying evidences of the growth of the mob spirit in the state of Georgia, and Whereas these acts of lawlessness have not been confined to persons charged with unspeakable crime, but very often resorted to upon the most flimsy pretext, and has now reached the depths of depravity in the murder of a defenseless Negro woman, because of "unwise remarks" and Whereas our state is being brought into open shame and contempt of the law abiding world, and a mockery being made of our boasted defense of the weaker races and nations, and loyal citizens forced to bow their heads in humiliation, and Whereas, such lawlessness will tend to weaken the confidence of our Allies in the honesty of our claims of championship of democratic principles, and thereby lessen our chances of victory in the great world struggle, and Whereas the Negroes of the country have reached the state of overlooking past grievances and unreservably sacrificing themselves upon the altar of the country, and Whereas it has always been our policy to im, upon our people the necessity of being law abiding, industrious and exercising all care in avoiding those acts and words that may arouse these unholy passions in a community, and Whereas we feel those persons who make up the mobs need to be taught the majesty of the law in such a manner that fear of the punishment will ever over balance their spirit of lawlessness. Therefore, be it Resolved: 1. That the South Atlantic Medical Society in-meeting assembled, on the 23rd day of May 1918, do call upon all good citizens white and black to fut forth immediate and increasing efforts to arouse a sentiment against all lawlessness, and Resolved 2. That we urge upon the governor of the state to use all the powers with which the law invests in him to run down the brutal murderers now at large in the state and see that the extreme penalty of the law is meted out to them, and Resolved 3rd. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the Governor of the state and be published in The Trilune. Atlanta Independent and spread upon the minutes of the Society. Respectfully submitted. There are many interesting happenings, in and around Atlanta at this time which many readers of the cleanest, oldest, wealthiest, and certainly the most conservative secular Negro journal published by Negro brain of the race, would like to see printed in the people's journal, The Savannah Tribune. Right on this point, we do not think it would be out of place to give expression in a feeble way to the many complimentary remarks made by readers of this great race uplifting agency, the Savannah Tribune, who are unstinting in their praises of the helpful work that this constructive journal is doing in the matter of race solidarity in the many communities where it circulates. SATURDAY JUNE 1. 1918 A constructive Negro business man, who claimed Atlanta for his home for many, many years, and who, indeed, is a host to reckon with in the matter of men and material, said to "ye scribe" some days since, "Among the many Negro papers that come to my desk weekly, I get more help from reading the helpful editorials and general news items, found in the columns of Sol. C. Johnson's paper than from any published by members of the race anywhere." A compliment like this coming at such a time, unsolicited and coming from a man of the very highest character and standing in the social and business world, I thought it not robery, to tell friend "Sol." about it. The modest as he is, sincerely and naturally so, if Jim Butler should see it before "Sol" orders it not published, the readers of this great race journal, the Sarannah Tribune, will have an opportunity of knowing what a high class Negro business man of Atlanta thinks about what many Negroes in the country calls the fairest Negro journal published in the country. These are strenuous times now, and especially around the various colleges and universities, which are grinding out the race's future leaders, who must stand in the forefront and ward off the blows of the demagogues, who, for all of these years, have tried to make the world believe that the Negro was unfit for a college education. The Negro man or woman is not inspired, as he or she sees these young men and these young women in caps and gowns as they rise to their feet, and hear the fartherly advice given them, as they are handed their diplomas, which in a way, is their passport into larger a life of usefulness, you may put it down that such a person is not in sympathy with a high class racial leadership. Yes, this is a great week for the schools here. Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown University and the various other institutions of learning, are doing their bit in the matter of trying to make the world safe for democracy and in the mean time make democracy safe for the world. --- Messrs. Smith and Mullineaux, the latter Savannah's distinguished Negro jeweler, were in to see "ye scribe" and his office force one day this week, and that high classed gentlemanly Negro physician, Dr. C. C. Cater, Jr. took them around in his car showing them the various sights in and about the city. --- "Ye scribe" is planning to take a run down to the old town in the next ten days, to be more exact, about Friday June 7th to see whether Guy Bowen is giving the people who are desirous of spending a little of their spare time at one of the best summer resorts in the country, Hope Crest, the right kind of a schedule, to and from the latter place. So you may tell him for me, that that thirty minutes double truck schedule, which he runs on those special occasions, must be quickened to a ten minutes schedule, see? --- Messrs Thomas Taylor of the Guaranty Mutual and William Washington and J. W. White of the Chatham Mutual, are handling the affairs of the interests which they represent with the adeptness of past grand masters at the art. All of these Savannahblans are doing well, and indeed, are well thought of by the people in this community who do things. * * * * It is said by numerous persons, who have had the privilege of going into the Masonic office, where that Prince of Good fellows "Charley" Thomas holds sway, that it is one of the neatest, and perhaps the best regulated office of its kind, where more real work is done with a small force, than in any other in this entire country. But listen, what ever you do, don't let "Charley" know that I put it out, for he, like "Sol" is too modest to have people discuss his good qualities and peculiar fitness for blessing humanity. So, whatever you do, don't tell "Charlie" I said it. S. S. SELLERS-BAXLEY Thursday morning last, while surrounded by some of his loved ones. Mr. S. S. Sellers of Baxley.

ONE HEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKER PASTE OR BREAKFAST FOOD CONTAINING WHEAT NATIONAL ASSOCIATION PASSES RESOLUTIONS Commending Law and Order League For Campaign Against Lynching New York, May 19—The National Asso. for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public resolutions passed within the last few days by the Tennessee State Conference of Charities and Corrections. Mr. Shillady announces that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is much gratified for the patriotic activities of the Tennessee e Law and Order League in its endeavor to create public opinion in that state which will make the lynching and burning of Negroes at the stake impossible in the future. The resolutions of the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Corrections call upon the President of the United States to issue proclamation to the American people to the effect that the lynching of Negroes by white mobs constitutes a crime against the nation, and appeal to Congress to pass laws so declaring and giving to federal grand juries and federal courts the right to indict and and the power to try lynchers. The resolutions refer to the lynching of Negroes by white as treasonable to the nation, as striking at the very root of national solidarity and efficiency; they declare that mob lynchings will have the effect of increasing the length of the war and the cost in dead and gives aid and comfort to the enemy. The resolution of the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Correction follows: Whereas the excitement that is connected with this stupendous war appears to have undermind the self control of some of the American people to such an extent that lynchings seem to be occurring with increasing frequency; and Whereas, such occurrence are incompatible with the principles of justice and democracy for which we are fighting; and Whereas, the lynching of men of one blood or race by those of another is not at this time an ordinary act of lawlessness which may be left to the local authorities but strikes at the very root of our national solidarity and efficiency, by raising issues of race and of blood among our own people and will inevitably increase the length of the war and the cost in deal and wounded we will have to pay for victory and thus give aid and comfort to the enemy; and Whereas, we do not believe those guilty of this lawlessness realize the treasonable effect of their act; Now therefore, the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Correction in convention assembled does hereby respectfully petition the President of the United States to issue a proclamation to the American people on the subject: and Whereas such acts do in fact amount to crimes against the nation, we do further petition Congress to pass an act so declaring and giving federal Grand Juries and courts the right to indict and try those charged therewith. On May 2. the East Broad Street School responded to our government's call and joined the Thrift Stamp Drive.

ASSOCIATION ADDRESSFS LETTER TO GOVERNOR New York, May 22—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public the following telegrams to Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia and to the Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta and the Board of Trade of Savannah, protesting against the lynching of four Negroes, Will Head, Will Thomas, Hayes Turner and the latter's wife, in Brooks county, Ga., on Friday and Saturday last.

Yes! of four Negroes, Will Head, Will Thompson, Hayes Turner and the latter's wife, in Brooks county, Ga., on Friday and Saturday last as the result of the murder of a white farmer growing out of a dispute between the farmer and his tenants over a financial account. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urges that you take prompt and emphatic action to bring the violators of your law before the courts for trial and to prevent the lynching, if it has not already taken place, of another Negro who at last accounts was being pursued by the same mob which has already taken vengeance on four Negroes, one of these being a woman. Eleven Negroes have been lynched in Georgia since September 15, 1917, all charged with crimes for which the law provides ample remedy. The lynching of Negroes without trial has long since ceased to be the concern of any individual locality or state. The Tennessee Law and Order League has properly characterized the lynching of Negroes at a time when the nation is at war as treason against the United States. The eyes of the nation are now fixed upon Georgia to see whether your state will vindicate her laws and insist upon legal punishment of those who have defied her courts and flaunted their disregard for law in the faces of Georgia's law-abiding people and of the justice loving citizens of the United States. John R. Shillady, Secretary Nat. Asso. for Advancement of Colored People. (Duplicate to Board of Trade Sav'h.) Chamber of Commerce Atlanta, Ga. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, composed of representative citizens of both races, in the name of its one hundred branches in one hundred cities of the country, with their 25,000 members, and in the name of the law-abiding citizens of the nation, appeal to you to urge Governor Dorsey, whom we have just addressed on this subject, to take vigorous action to bring before the courts the flouters of your law in the case of the lynching of four Negroes, one of them a woman, in Brooks county, Ga.. on Friday and Saturday last. We have called the governor's attention to the fact that eleven Negroes have been lynched in Georgia since September 1917, all charged with crimes for which your law provides ample remedy. The Tennessee Law and Order League, the Tennessee Conference of Charities and corrections, the Memphis Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Charles, La., and the New Orleans, La.. Chamber of Commerce, have already taken strong stands condemning lynching. Lynching of Negroes during time of war has been characterized by the Tennessee Law and Order League and the Tennessee Conference of Charities and Corrections as treason against the nation. Commercial bodies, jealous for the honor of their respective states, owe it to themselves and to the nation to assert the supremacy of law. The apprehension of the lynchers of Negroes would stimulate the country to a new sense of patriotic regard for the courts as has the recent action of the state of Illinois in indicting sixteen men for the lynching of Robert Prager.
