HOW PRESIDENT'S OFFICIAL FAMILY- STANDS
Pres. Harding Starts Ball Rolling
ISSUES OF RACE ADJUSTMENT
BEING MET WITH FRANKNESS
AND FAIRNESS
Washington, D. C., April 6th (Associated Negro Press)—History is being made. In the words of the immortal Rev. John Jaspar of Virginia: "The Sun do More." If you think it "do not," turn your eyes in direction of Washington.
President Harding started the ball rolling by putting humanness into humanity. The sweet refrain has been taken up by the members of the cabinet, and it is now being echoed on Capitol Hill. The latest solo in the grand chorus comes from none other than the powerful and mighty Senator Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, who has startled the nation in a statement of fighte to the Negro. All that Senator Penrose says is truth, and it is bound to have an electrical effect upon other senators, upon law-making bodies, and the people in general throughout the nation.
In the expansion of this idea, it is interesting to have intimate and unquestionable knowledge of how the President's official faulty stands on the subject. The Associated Negro Press is in a position to state authoritatively that every member of the new cabinet can be depended upon to deal squarely with all American citizens. There is no disposition to substep any of the issues that now confront the people. The issues of Race adjustment are being met, and with gratitude to be met with frankness and fatness never before equated. Secretary of State Hughes is giving careful and sympathetic consideration of the problems of Liberty, Haiti and the Dominican government His reception to the Liberian Commission was necessarily formal, but nevertheless cordial.
Attorney Gen. Dausherby, through the department of Justice, is delving into the terrible ponage conditions in Georgia and the Mississippi delta. The protests of organizations and caitzes generally, that are pouring into the President and Attorney General are being given careful consideration, and so far as the governments concerned, these conditions will be dealt with firmly.
Secretary of War Weeks has given assurance to those who have talked with him that there will be nothing but a square deal in his department for all. He is thoroughly interested in disabled soldiers, and in fact, all of those who wore the Uniform in the World War, and who now uphold the honor of the flag.
Secretary of Labor Davis is demonstrating to the world that he believes in justice. In the recent Packer hearing, the Secretary of Labor stood like a store wall in defense of Negro labor fair.
Secretary of the Nary Denby has been in the tropical waters surrounding the West Indies, and his opinions of conditions in Haiti will go a long way toward determining the program of achievement and justice in that republic.
Postmaster General Hays is everywhere preaching the gospel of "Merit and Justice." In denomination the Postmaster General is a Baptist, and is a just, master in the ability to deliver the "righteous" which turn kerryg and injustice loye survey.
Secretary of the interior Tam without any noise or excitement, dropped Leut. Tipper into a berth, and gave him the opportunity to look after Alaskan Affairs. The "crocodile" tears, of certain clerks who formally marched before the Secretary to announce that it would be impossible for them to serve in the department with a colored chief, did not move the secretary. His response was brief and to the point: "This desk of mine" he said, "is large enough to hold all the resizations of those who do not wish to work." Secretary of the Treasury Mollon during a recent tour of one of the departments muler his control, happened to cast his eyes upon one of the isolated Wilson segregation signs. "What's this?" he asked sharply. The excited subordinate stammeringly attempted reply. "Never mind," broke in the Secretary. "Take it down at once, and I never want to see anything like it again. This is a government of all the people, without segregation."
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Hoover will be found to be "Johnny on the spot," in the matter of upholding the new ideals of fair play.
$50,000 HOSPITAL DEDICATED
Iittle Rock, Ark. April 6th (Associated Negro Press)—The 50,000 hospital of the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends, a local Negro secret society was dedicated on the 7th of March last. Charity wards and a nursery training school are part of the institution's equipment. The Royal Circle contemplates the building of a hospital in the city of Memphis, Tenn. that will cost about $47,000.
Chicago, IL, April 6th (Associated Negro Press)—Present conditions and influences are severely criticized and drastic reforms are recommended in a report on inter-racial relations in Chicago, prepared under the auspices of the Interchurch World Movement of North, America and distributed today by the Chicago church federation. The report, which is preliminary to a more detailed review of the situation attributes much of the racial animosity which causal the riots of 1910 and subsequent violence to the following influences: Laxness on the part of the police; exploitation of Negro tenants by real estate dealers; failure of the city and large industries to establish satisfactory living conditions for Negroes; propaganda and "Direct action" by white organizations, of which the Kenwood-Hyde Park Property Owners Protect the association is the only one named; and Jack of agencies interested in establishing better understanding.
Altho pointing out that the relations between white and Negro workers in Chicago is good the report blames labor unlous for refusing full rights to Negroes. The housing situation the authors of the report believe is the most important single aspect of the Race problem. After accusing real estate operators of helping Negroes into white residence sections so that property value will go down, the report says: "Then the real estate operators" often secure these properties and either rent at a high rate or sell the houses when depreciated for more than others would pay.
Urban League An- nounces Fellowships
Fellowships Opened To Persons Who Engage in Social Service Work

These fellowships are opened to persons pursuing to engage in social work of some form as a life work. Such work includes secretarialships of betterment organization, recreation and playground supervisors, superintendents of charitable institutions, probation officers and similar service.
Despite the many applications there are positions unfilled because they require specific trained workers.
Sixteen placements were made last year by the Educational Department in such positions as community workers, executive secretaries and assistants to executives, investigators, industrial secretaries, social visitors, club workers for boys and girls, case workers not filled largely because properly trained and experienced workers were lacking.
The two "fellow" who finished in June 1920 from the New York school of Social Work had choice of several positions. One of these, Maurice Moss has charged of Federick Douglas Recreation Center for bors and for young men in Toledo. where he is doing soliderd work with more than 130 bors organized in athletic clubs.

duiding her training became assistant industrial secretary of the New York Urban League handling juvenile placement work and girls' club work. Further information and application blanks will be supplied by the Educational Committee of the National Urban League, 127 East 23rd street New York.
"JIM DANDY" IS DEAD
Was A Conspicuous Figure Around Sayanah
"Jim Dandy" whose real name is Willie Plum died Tuesday night at 12 o'clock at Georgia Infirmary. Jim had taken slick the earlier part of the evening and was taken to the hospital in the police ambulance for medical attention where he succeeded to his illness a few hours later. The news of his death spread through the city with raptility and hundreds of people, colored and white poured to Monroe's undertaking establishment where the body was taken to review the remnants. "Jim Dandy" as he was familiarly known was a conspicuous figure around Savannah and was a lover of brass music. He was a great follower of minstrel parades and was known by every minstrel man that has visited Savannah in the past twenty years. Wherever there was hand music and parades of the larger nature he was to be found. Everybody knows Jim and regrets his death, regardless of his peculiar habits and manner, he was peaceable and avoided trouble. He at one time had a drum corps of his own which consisted as a fifer and himself as drummer. As there are no near relatives of his, except an aunt, as have yet been located, a collection is being taken for his burial expense and the hirling of a band. The Chattian Artillery, white which the deceased was also a follower of, has its flag at half mast and will also contribute to the expense. Contributions will be received at The Tribune office. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from Monroe's undertaking establishment and it is expected that the procession will be headed by a band.

D. Smith of the Birmingham baseball association gave out a statement to the white press informing them that Frank Purdue's famous black Barons would play in the park this season. Some weeks ago white people in the neighborhood of the park sent out petitions for the purpose of enforcing the Negro leagues from playing on the grounds that they were offensive to the white people in the vicinity of the park.

Governor Promises Punishment of P'eonage
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Mile Avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from Governor Hugh M. Doggey of Georgia, relative to the disclosures regarding peonage in Jasper county, Georgia, which caused the murder of eleven colored peonies. The Governor definitely promised to do all in his power to see that the perpetrators of the system are punished.
Governor Dorsey's letter to the Association reads as follows:
"I assure you that all true Georgians deploy the awful tragedies recently brought to light, and I am leaving no stone unturned to put the 'wheels of justice' in motion, and hope to bring about the conviction of the guilty parties. The governor, as you know has no jurisdiction. All he can do is to try to bolster up the officials elected by the people."
DR. MOTON ADDRESS
LARGE AUDIENCES
Charlotte, N. C. April 6th (Associated Negro Press)—Dr. Robert R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute concluded a week's speaking tour here Monday afternoon after presenting a large audience of white and colored people, which greeted in the city auditorium. During the week Dr. Moton addressed three white schools, including The State University at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, The Trinity College at Durham, North Carolina, and the State Agricultural College for white at Raleigh. The other communities visited. Included Holly Springs, Mecklenburg, Zebulon, Winnipeg, Garner Fayetteville, Chathabourne, and Wilmington. And at each place visited both white and colored people were present to hear him. In all of his addresses Dr. Moton stressed the importance of justice, forbearance, frankness, and good will between the races as the basis for solving the race problem. The meeting at Raleigh where and colored people at the City Auditorium, was typical of meetings held at all the places visited by Dr. Moton and his party. The grabshed report of Dr. Moton's Raleigh speech sent out by The Associated Press does him a great injustice. A special writer in the Raleigh News and Observer reports Dr. Moton us saying:
"It is time for you Negroes to quit talking about the white people." It is time for you white people to quit talking about the Negroes. You ought to talk to each other, and together work out the common end of common justice, common understanding, and a solution of your problem. "I believe God has set these two prices down here together as a sort of human laboratory to prove to the world that two people can live together in harmony and in peace. It is time to quit talking social equality. We neither want that. We want racial equality. It is for us both to follow the traditions of our people and don't let any of us stoop to anything that is mean, or that is unjust."
COLORED LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN
The president of the International Order has solved one of the greatest problems in the history of the order for locomotive firemen. First by organizing the I. O. of C. I. F.; second by uniting with the G. U. O. of L. F. of Knoxville, Tenn and N. S. O. of L. F., Macon, Ga.; third by placing the organization on the mailing list of the United States Railroad Labor Board, and if the railroad goes back under the ruling of the government, the I. O. of C. I. F. with the two affiliated organizations will be recognized. Shortly after the extra session of Congress, which is to be held at Washington, on the 14-15 inst, the I. O. of C. I. E. will be represented by its president, as much as so Mr. Sam Gompers, president of A. F. of L. or any other labor leader.
It ought to be news to the country to see the colored men, in the railroad work, making such rapid success for the betterment of the colored men as a whole.

were as true as her lower tones were rich and full. Marlan Anderson won and held the great Hampton Institute audience. The students showed great racial pride in her professional success, and the students of the Howard Glee Club and William King for Martan Anderson, added to the success of the joint program.
JURY SURPRISE JUDGE
WITH VERDICT OF GUILTY
Chicago, IL, April 6th (Associated Negro Press)-Judge Joseph David received a surprise when a jury returned a verdict of guilty, last Monday, after he had virtually directed a verdict of not guilty. The judge decided the evidence against Ben Smith, colored, charged with a serious offense, was insufficient, and so instructed the jury.
"Under the rules" he said, "I cannot instruct you to return a verdict of not guilty." But in my opinion the evidence here is insufficient to warrant a conviction. In fact, I'm going to tell you right now that, if you do not find the defendant not guilty, I'll set the verdict aside." The jury retired. After the minutes the judge became impatient. "Like," he said to his personal bailiff "it seems the jurors are taking a long time to bring in a 'not guilty' verdict. Go and see what's the matter."
"We're ready," the jurors told the bailiff. The foreman handed the clerk this verdict: "We, the jurors, and Ben Smith guilty as charged in the indictment." Judge David jumped to his feet. "I'll see that this never happens again, he cried, thoroughly aroused. Our lawyer, the Zachary, or ruling may forbid the court to instruct a jury to bring in a 'not guilty' verdict. But, well this won't happen again."
Turning toward the jury he said: "You evidently think you know more about the law than 'the court.' "We do," the foreman said. The complainant was a 16 year old white boy. Smith will be given a new trial.
Dr. Scott Not Seeking Political Office
Washington, D. C. April 4-We are able to state on no less authority than that of Dr. Emmitt J. Scott, himself, that the stories printed in various parts of the country to the effect that he is a candidate for this or that political office are wholly without foundation. Dr. Scott in discussing these stories said:
"I am on no one's political slate for consideration, or designation, as Register of the United States Treasury, Minister to Haity, Liberia, or Bolivia. The rather free use of my name by unauthorized individuals in connection with the above named, and other political positions, has given hundreds of my friends throughout the country the opportunity of writing and proffering their good offices in my behalf, along with strong expressions of confidence and good will—but to all of these kindly-intentioned friends I have made the same reply: 'I am not a candidate for, nor am I seeking, directly or indirectly, any of the political positions awarded members of our race by Republican administrations I am deeply interested in the work of Howard University, located here at the Nation's Capital, and as its secretary-treasurer and business manager, I am giving to it now, as I shall continue to do in the future, the best I can command in the way of intelligence, energy, and influence.'
"I am well content to serve my race and my country. In this highly honorable position, and while becoming grateful for the compliment implied in mentioning my name so often and so approvingly in so many quarters, I am nevertheless not a candidate for any of the political jobs being so eagerly sought at this time by deserving colored Republicans. In the field of education are rewards important enough to command my best talents and aspirations."
One cannot see the secretary-treasurer of Howard University in his pleasant and commodious offices on University Hill, overlooking the city of Washington, engrossed in his absorbing tasks, without believing in his ardent sincerity.

STARTLING IN- FORMATION TO BE REVEALED
Lieut. Clifford Offered Data to Commission
NEGRO SOLDIERS UNDER WILSON ADMINISTRATION S UFFERED UNBELIEVABLE TREATMENT
Washington, D. O., April 6th (Associated Negro Press)—Startling information will be revealed in the War Risk Investigation asked for by President Harding, General Charles G. Dawes, 20 of Chicago, heads the Commission, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt is one of the members. The Commission is now sitting in Washington, and during its sessions it will be disclosed that Negro soldiers, in that department, under the Wilson administration suffered shameful and unbelievable treatment.
One of the former officers who served in the War Risk department, Lieut. J. Williams Clifford, has gathered a fund of data on this subject, and he will offer it to the Commission.
In an exclusive interview for The Associated Negro Press, he declared: "It was because my petitions for these suffering men were practically ignored that I resigned from the department some time ago. The people will be aroused to action when they know what these brave boys are going to think." "What we need is close, sympathetic contact with all former soldiers. There are thousands of opportunities to be helpful that thousands of soldiers do not know anything about. We must educate them into the advantages of war risk, but the discriminations must be stopped.
Lleu. Clifford showed the Associated Negro Press representative letters that he has received from various soldiers. Only brief quotations from a few of them can be given here. Oscar Flevelen, of Waco, Texaq: "I have asked these doctors here in camp to send in my medical record but they will not look after the interests of the colored boys. Colored boys are treated like cattle and dogs. The officers are low bred, uncoach, and if they are not careful a race riot is liable to cause a case of abuse he would do stick if anything occurred." H. Cavitt, Houston, Texas: "I write you in the interest of our colored returned soldiers and the treatment that is given them as to their just compensation and hospital treatment. It is quite evident that they are not getting the Government gives to them, owing to the fact that there is no one here to represent them in their grievances; as the doctors and nurses turn deaf ears to their pleadings."
Lloyd Bates, Texarkana, Ark. "I have just received the letter stating that you have cut my compensation from $0.00 per month to $18.00 per month. I want to know why you cut the colored boys and allow the whites in the South to get $0.00 to $115.00 per month. I am asking how I am to work when I lost my chances when I entered the army, for I am now unable to walk and work and I am a cripple. I want a new rating from some doctor who does not call us Nigger and make us wait two hours until all the whites are waited on. I have proof from over 500 colored men in camp Logan who will say the same." Augustus Stanberry, Dallas, Texas: "It seems that all these white doctors here are giving us a raw deal they will not send in our medical reports so that we can get our compensation." Theodore Holle, Halley, Ark: "I have waited patiently to hear from my medical report but it seems that no one in this camp will write or send in our reports for compensation. We do know they will write to the Bureau for the white boys but not for us."
J. E. Davie, Y. M. C. A. secretary, Marshall, Tevas; wrote: "I do not know how it is in other states, but may I say to you that hundreds of colored people hereabouts in the State of Texas are being robbed, cheated, deliried of the things rightly done them from the Bureau. I have just received information of a man having secured an agreement from the War Risk policies for the payment of a considerable sum of the proceeds if he will adjust it or get them the money."
There are scores and scores of cases similar to these, many of them imprintable in their scandalous debauchery. In the matter of neglect, covering up the crimes of the thousands of disabled colored Americans have suffered untold aneurysm.
Birmingham, Ala., April 6th (Associated Negro Press)—Approximately fifty special deputies have been sworn in for the protection of the mines and other property of the Tennessee Coal, Iron, and Railroad company following an attack on Arthur Whitfield and John Dawson, negro miners, near Pratt and Rockingham, according to authorities their investigations show that the two miners were attacked while on their way home from work.
No clues have been found which will lead to the capture of those responsible for the shooting.
OUT OF TOWN NEWS
'Atlanta, Ga., News
The trial of John N. Williams, white farmer of Jasper county, and Clyde Manning, his farm-hand, are being held this week at Covington, Newton county, for the allied murder of ten or more colored men said to have been in the employ of the white man. The crimes, the blackest ever committed in a civilized country, have attracted the attention of the whole community, and the trial which is being held, is no less interesting.
From the evidence secured from Manning, the colored man, the Williams farm, in addition to being a veritable slave pen, has become converted into a slaughter pen of human beings. The investigations for both state and Federal
authorities, have disclosed the floor of his barber shop and hat and fact that Manning, the ignorant, pressing building, and the seven offices of a moral man, was not the only one impatient in the blackened crimes that will be occupied by Dr. Johnson, the deistict and insurance companies will be located in the others. The indignation of the state from one end to his other. The indignation of the better class of white people has been so aroused that the governor, at the request of Soldier General Brand of the Stone Mountain Judicial Circuit, designated the assistant Attorney-General Graham Wright and ex-Congressman Howard of Augusta to assist Mr. Brand in the prosecution of Williams to be in the city on the thirteenth extent of the law for his part in the alleged murder of so many men.
It consists of thirty art-ts and from reports it is as good as our
of so many colored families to other sections in the last four years, first because they were literally in slavery and, second, because they wanted to get a little linkage of the freedom guaranteed them under the constitution.
All over the south, colored men are subjected to every sort of insult, indignation and humiliation, and it is almost a weekly occurrence that some are lynched for the most trifling offense, and, too often for no offense at all. State control of lynching is out of the question. This matter must sooner or later be taken in charge by the Federal government, and, until the annual rally at Autoch Bapst church will be held Sunday and Rev. J. H. Johnson and his members are leaving no stone unturned that it might be a success.
Vuldaosa is to increase its membership of the N. A. A. G. P. to three hundred this year and let us do it. Let us promote the membership according to number of churches and let a local committee be appointed in each church and said committees report to the local branch. Let us get busy as the organization is doing and can do so much for the race that is necessary for racial progress.
All over the south, colored men are subjected to every sort of insult, indignation and humiliation, and it is almost a weekly occurrence that some are lynched for the most trifling offense, and, too often for no offense at all, State control of lynching is out of the question. This matter must sooner or later be taken in charge by the Federal government, and, until such a law is placed on the statute books by the general government, the daughter of Negro men and women by the damnable, blood thirsty mobs of the rural districts, will go on unpunished.
Governor Morrow of Kentucky set a worthy example recently, and showed his respect for law when he removed a failure for his failure to protect his prisoner, and if other governors of the South had the same amount of manhood as is possessed by Kentucky's chief executive, the petty officers, through their respect for their official duties, would lessen the crime of lynching to some extent at least.

The last table was composed of the Gleeners, 18 or more young ladies dressed in white communed at one table. The Lipportt League had an excellent program. Mr. Wells spoke on "Moral Consciousness." At 5 p. in, the sermon was delivered by the pastor. This great sermon resulted in the conversion of three persons. Our revival is over but we are still having open confessions and taking members into our church. Three members were taken into the church during the day and 450 communed. On Monday night it was decided in the official board meeting that we would have a 60 days drive for $1500.00. The entire Board and members pledged their support and co-operation to the pastor in this great financial drive. Over $200.00 was pledged last night and all the men are asked to give at least $10.00 and the ladies $1.00. Tomorrow we will have all our services as usual.

ARMY OF THE CROSS
APPEALS FOR COOPERATION
The tragic need among our people of the slums, and neglect places for social workers but casual observation will evince. What are Negroes themselves doing about it? All admit how over that something ought to be done. Our people are suffering now. Some are hungry, naked, jobsb and without shelter. Many of our men and women due to industrial depression have sold out.
Black men must help rescue these unfortunate.
The Army of the Cross aims to reach the man farthest down. That man the church does not reach or influence, the social outcast, the moral leper. It aims to chasten and restore our fallen womanhood, to save the black Magdalene.
The startling Macedonian cry is ringing in our ears loud, loud, insistent, and pathetic: "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
"Is it nothing to all you, all ye that pass by? Behold, and see if there is any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me." This is the S. O. S. call plantive and heart reading of suffering and want among our people.

HOWARD AGAIN
DEFEATS LINCOLN, 21 to 18
Orange, N. J., April 6th—Before a crowd of nearly two thousand basketball enthusiasts from New York, Newark, Montclair, and Orange, gathered in the Orange, New Jersey, Armory, the Howard "Fire" again lauds it over the Lincoln University team by a score of 21 to 18. A marked feature of the game was the indomitable fight spirit on part of both teams. At the end of the first half the score was 10 to 7 in favor of the Howard team. The Lincoln team was determined to make a good showing, and near the end of the last half she succeeded in bringing the score to a t of 15. This was the status of the score when only three more minutes of play were left. The Howard team, cheered on by loyal Howard rooters, surged forward in those last three minutes and won the game by the score 21 to 18. The strong offensive and team work of Simms for Howard was a feature of the game, while Kean, Richardson and H. Johnson, forwards, made effective use of every opportunity to register. Clarkson and Davis warded off the attempts of Lincoln to reach Howard's basket. The strong offensive work and accurate shooting of fouls by Wheatland, forward for Lincoln, made him a star of the Lincoln team.

MIDDLE BRIEF ASSOCIATION
MICRO PREST
FIRST IN SERVICE
JOHN WILLIAMS OF JASPER
COUNTY
John Williams of Jasper has done more to bring disgrace and dishonor upon the State of Georgia, and indeed upon the entire South, than any man who ever lived. Indeed he can claim the distinction of having brought the shame to the state and South, and even of the entire nation, before the entire people of the world. For the people everywhere will read of the horrors of Jasper county, Georgia.
How has it been possible that under the very eyes of the greatest nation in all the world and in the very midst of a police power that extends to every nook and cranny of the land this awful crime has been committed? How is it possible that in the glaring light of present day civilization, and before the gaze of churches and schools, business and industry, and almost in the very presence of the law and the courts, a single man with his family mingling with the folk of the marketplace has been able to maintain a slavery of human beings, an institution based upon terror and intimidation and fear, to the extent that years have not seen it brought to light and destroyed it? What indifference, what apathy toward the fate of Negro peons from the neighboring farms with their hundreds of owners, tenants and workers?
How has all this, until now, escaped the law, the church and the law-abiding opinion of Jasper county? Why has Clyde Manning been enslaved to this system of terror and death for fourteen years?
It is just this sort of thing—this indifference, this disposition to let such things go so long as they do not affect us in particular, and so long as "it is just niggers, anyway" that callouses the people to indulge in oppression and peonage and lynching and burning. And the practice of indifference has so grown upon the people, especially where only Negroes are concerned, that nothing short of the wildest orgy of blood and death will cause the people to sit up and take notice. The failure to enforce the law, the failure to protect Negro offenders when they fall in the hands of the law, the failure to punish the mob when it tramples the law under foot, as it so often does in Georgia, the fact that inspite of the scores of lynchings and burnings of men after they have already been arrested and have become subjects of the law and entitled to its protection go unpunished—all this has bred such a strong defiance and contempt and disrespect for the law, that many men do not hesitate to take the law into their own hands and run riot
If John Williams of Jasper has not been excessive and extravagant in both his peonage persecutions and his murders; he like many others, would have been allowed to go unmolested, Federal courts would have been unable to convict because Negroes would not have dared to give testimony, and the neighborhood "passed it up" as none of its business. But Mr. "Johnny" if 'the charge be true, was passing, barbarous in his persecutions; he was deprared and unmoral in his desregard of human life; his greed for the gold that slavery would bring craze" him to the point of recklessness and abandon as regards Negroes; he must certainly have contiplated that the life of ignorant, black farm hands amounted to little in the administration of the people amongst whom he dwelt; and he doubtless recounted in his mind the scores of horrors and tragedies which have gone unpunished in this state, because it is impossible to identify and convict those who oppress and kill Negroes.
What is to be done about all this? Mary are wondering what is to be the outcome of the Williams trial, and what is to be his fate? To us it matters not so much what is to become of Williams as it matters what the state of Georgia and Federal authorities are going to do to break up slavery and peace and terror all over the state. It matters much whether this state will see to it that Negroes everywhere are freed, and allowed to work out their fate under the protection of just and the courageous protection of governmental authority. It makes a great difference whether Negroes shall be guaranteed their property rights, equal protection before the law, and the safety of life and limb in the rural stricts.
The State of Georgia is on trial in the Williams case; the law and the government are on trial before the nation and the world. The people of Georgia too are to be affected by the outcome; for in a measure the respect of our own citizens for the law is involved. Certainly the future fate of bigroes in the farming districts of Georgia depends on this to a large extent.
We believe the whole state should somehow determine upon a policy which would secure absolute respect
"And now that the courses of the sun are rounding out full fifty years of service spent by you in training the young of this community into useful citizenship, we of those who have loved you thro' all these years feel it a real pleasure to express our affection for you in this very meagre way. "Words never fully express such an affection as we feel. They are poor conveyors indeed at best, and yet if unsaid they leave our friends uncertain about us, if there are no deeds to take their place.
"We realize, as we must, that the shadows do not fall in the directions as they were wont to; the years grow shorter and the friends of youth grow fewer, but the conviction grows stronger, that many souls have turned their faces to the sun because of one's labor of love.
trouble we have, we do not take time to find facts, we form our conclusions and begin to criticize, and say what we should demand. I find experience, that is it far better not to demand but to study the best methods that will help us to deserve our rights and how to remove the cause of prejudice. We can't expect the other fellow to do right, if we are not right ourselves. "Let us come together, be broad and forget self and make every sacrifice for the good of fallen humanity. If we should have the public interested in us and our needs, we must become interesting, and we will become interesting just as soon as we begin to help ourselves to the utmost extent of our opportunities. The success of our race will be in proportion to the service that we render to the labor of love.
for the law, and equal justice to every citizen, whatever his race, whatever his financial-condition and whatever his political paranations) Justice and protection to every man is the way.
PRINCIPAL OF WEST BROAD
REMEMBERED BY GRADUATES
Surprised by Presenation of Beautiful Morris Chair
In appreciation of his rounding out fifty years of service in the public schools of Savannah, the graduates and undergraduates of the West Broad Street school presented on Tuesday morning a beautiful mahogany Morris chair to J. H. O. Butler who has been serving the greater part of this time as principal of this school. The presentation came as a complete surprise to Mr. Butler, who discovered the chair in his home at 515 West Henry street when he returned from school Tuesday afternoon. Tied to the chair with yellow ribbon, the colors of the West Broad, was the following letter:
"Dear Mr. Butler:—
"And now that the courses of the sun are rounding out full fifty years of service spent by you in training the young of this community into useful citizenship, we of those who have loved you thru' all these years feel it a real pleasure to express our affection for you in this very meagre way.
"Words never fully express such an affection as we feel. They are poor conveyors indeed at best, and yet if unsaid they leave our friends uncertain about us, if there are no deeds to take their place.
"We realize, as we must, that the shadows do not fall in the directions as they were wont to; the years grow shorter and the friends of youth grow fewer, but the conviction grows stronger, that many souls have turned their faces to the sun because of one's labor of love.
"As now falls the eventide in which you bask, may you look back down the vista of years thro which you labored, and see the faces of them who are jealously striving to show honor to you, and who are -wholeheartedly trying to show their appreciations and ungrudging affection.
"We are ever praying, that the days that are yet yours—and we hope they are many—may bring you increasing joy in the earnest of the affection, we whose names are here attached, thus feebly try to express.
"Please accept this token in the spirit in which it is given."
"Yours affectionately,
"Graduates of West Broad."
Mr. Butler, in the following letter, has sent his appreciation to his former students who remembered him with this beautiful gift:
"Graduates and Undergraduates of West Broad St. School.
"We dear Bors and Girls:
and never was I at a greater loss what to say as an expression of the gratitude I feel for this most useful and beautiful token of your love and esteem for me. You have shown your loyalty many times, and in many ways before, but never has it touched me so deeply as now when 'falls the eventide' of my life.
"As I recline in this comfortable chair, I shall think of you, every one of you, and a joice that it has been my pleasure and privilege to have entered into your life, and to have, in some measure, at least, encouraged you in the way of success." And so your words and deeds of abiding affection are a source of great solace to me in my declining years.
"Please accept my sincere and heart gratitude and appreciation.
EASTER AT THE INDUSTRIAL FARM
The juvenile boys at the Industrial Farm had a delightful time on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Rev Reed Dr. Harris and Rev. J. W. Warren were with us on Palm Sunday and gave excellent talks. At one of the Urban League meetings in 1915 Dr. Harris offered his auto and services to take a minister to the farm any Sunday that was convenient to him. Rev Reed accepted the offer and decided on the first Sunday in each month. They have been coming regularly and have only missed two Sundays during the six years. We appreciate their coming and feel very grateful to them for their sympathy and the good they have done.
Mr. and Mrs. Welcher thought of us Easter Sunday and brought as their guests Rev. and Mrs. Gregory and Mrs. Robert McNichols. We enjoyed their talks, which were very instructive, and gave us inspiration to fight on until the victory is won. We trust Rev. Gregory can make it convenient to visit us often and be the true faithful and loyal friend that Rev. Cash was to us. We will never forget him. His
kindly disposition, and warm sympathy has made the boys feel that in him they had a true friend. He always gave fitting and appropriate remarks. Many were regrets expressed at his departure.
Through Mrs. Arm Ferst of Chicago and her cousin, the boys were made happy and enjoyed their Easter gifts. Mrs. Ferst always sends $5 Christmas in memory of her son. We did not receive it in time for Christmas, therefore it came in good for Easter.
The parole board will meet April 13th and will parole a number of boys, who have been with us a year or more and have made a fair record. It is a pleasure to parole them, but is deplorable to think they are going back to the same environments and conditions.
It is deplorable to think that out of all the churches and organizations we haven't any volunteer workers, such as "Big Brothers" and "Big Sisters" to be responsible for these boys that need their assistance to help them to over come the temptations which seem to be greatest from the age of 14 to 18. We have 32 boys enrolled up to date. The people of our race haven't any medium in which we can help these boys, preventative or reformative. We can make excuses to man but not to God. He has provided away for this race to own their own homes, churches.
club houses, etc, and if our hearts are strong for good works, ways and means will readily appear for our talents. We cannot do it individually but by the soul strengthening influences of organization. We spent too much time in giving attention to our grievances and neglect the many golden opportunities that are about us. For much of the needed charitable work among our unfortunates is left to the white race, because we have not time or interest outside of ourselves. If the white race, who are superior to us in all chances and advantages of life, find it necessary to their advancement, to be active and interested in so many ways, can we of greater needs and smaller resources and protection expect to advance less than they? Let us get together, and do as other women do. First inform ourselves us to what has been done, is being done, and what needs further be done to help ourselves. It should never be said of us that we know less about the status of our race than is known by women of another race. The greatest trouble we have we do not take time
to find facts, we form our conclusions and begin to criticize, and say what we should demand. I find from experience, that is it far better not to demand but to study the best methods that will help us to deserve our rights and how to remove the cause of prejudice. We can't expect the other fellow to do right, if we are not right ourselves. "Let us come together, be broad and forget self and make every sacrifice for the good of fallen humanity. If we should have the public interested in us and our needs, we must become interesting, and we will become interesting just as soon as we begin to help ourselves to the utmost extent of our opportunities. The success of our race will be in proportion to the service that we render to the
The question is: are we going to give our service to raise the standard of the race or let them continue to go to degradation? Let us hope that we will answer the call as Moses did when he was called to lead the children of Israel; and God grant that our souls may be possessed by a consuming desire, by a restless anxiety, and a noble enthusiasm to see and discharge our responsibilities and duties to the cry of our unfortunate, and do all we can to win them for God's kingdom.
Who will volunteer to be the "Big Brother" and "Big Sister"? Let us come together and do one thing tangible for the uplift of humanity and not be so dependent.
The superintendent is always pleased to have the minister and visitors to visit us.

The Pierce county Farmers' Union held their second quarterly meeting Saturday April 2nd at the colored school house in Blackbear, and the meeting was a 'very interesting one from start to finish.
Dr. Hinesman the country agent presided and was very much pleased at the reports from the different communities. Many of the farmers are growing watermelons and beans, and their crops are now looking good and if things continue to grow and prosper Mr. Hinesman feels that a large crop of each will be made this year. Dr. Hinesman is making a special drive to have farmers look after the repair and covering of their wells during the National Negro Health Week Campaign. He has been in conference with several of the white land owners who work large numbers of colored people and each agreed to help him to put his program over. He hopes to report some excellent accomplishments in the next week's issue of the Tribune.

PRISONERS PUBLICLY WHIPPED
Wilmington, Del., April 6th (Associated Negro Press)--Four men were publicly whipped at the Newcastle county workhouse last Saturday, in the presence of about 125 persons, for crimes committed in Delaware.
Warden M. S. Plummer Administered the punishment. He used the regulation whip, about three feet long. Three of the men flinched under the blows. The fourth man "rock his medicine" with a smile.
Unusual interest had been aroused in the lashing because of the discussion throughout the country of the whipping post as a crime deterrent.
Whippings took place in the jail yard, where stands a twelve inch post to which the prisoners, in a standing position, are attached with shackles. Lewis, Negro, was led to the post, stripped to the waist. Deputy Warden Leach read the court's sentence imposing a sentence of one year imprisonment and twenty lashes to, larceny. Lewis was shackled to the post. Warden Plummer applied the whip At the end of the twentieth blow. Lew is looked around and smiled and asked, "is that all?" He was unshucked, his coat put on and led back to his cell. Next Leonard Bennett was tied up. He was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment and forty lashes for highway robbery. Bennett flinched as the blows were laid on.

John Richardson followed. He stood the first eleven blows without exhibiting any apparent emotion, but at the twelfth he began to squirm. From then to the fortyth bash to arison twisted and stamped as the whip stunck.
Horace Arby, sentenced to forty lashies and twenty years' imprisonment for highway robbery, was shaking as he was led to the post. He trembled while Leach read the sentence. Arby filmed throughout the entire order. He was able to wall to his cell unnaided.
"This is the one disagreeable feature of my job," remarked Plummer, when the whippings were ended. "But I intend to do my duty and won't ask any of my deputies to do what I do not like."

Mrs. Lucy Frazier
Mrs. Lucy Frazier who departed this life March 31st at 6:15 n.m. was quite a shock to all of her friends as she was well on the road to recovery from an operation and her family and friends had bright hopes for her recovery.

She is survived by a hug band, Mr. Henry Frazier; one sister, Mrs. J. M. Fergrebor; one brother, Mr. U. I. Commerot; one brother, Mr Williams and several god children.

BARRIERS BREAKING
Modern progress is breaking down the barriers of nationalism, creeds, peculiar opinions, and self-developed and isolated ideas. The same progressive influence is also at work in the Craft in the United States, and to one who is familiar with the development and progress made during the past ten years the results are startling. Every where we find the Davide of the new regime opposing Golbaths of ultralonserratism; and just as David of old slew his heavily armored and weaponed enemy with a pebble, so are the champions, of the new fraternal spirit stepping forth with no armor other than a few fundamental facts, and slinging with these the benighted representatives of absolute pretensions, false premises, and pride of office—London Freemason.
VICTORIES OF FREEMASONRY
What are the true victories of Freemasonry? They are unlike the battles of the warrior or of the miser. The real tactics are laid down in that Great Light of Masonry, which is the chart of a true Mason's faith. When a Mason learns the real meaning of the symbolic code, and drinks in the spirit of the teachings of Freemasonry, he will find no objection to any demand. The severest critic can find no fault when he becomes acquainted with the objects and missions of the order. No religionist whose creed contains the collet, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself," can find any fault with it. The battle to be fought and the victory to be gained in Freemasonry is on the priceless and triumphant battle ground of humanity.
One of the greatest Masonic compliments that can be paid a man is to have his wife, daughter, mother or sister mention with pride that he is a Mason—Brotherhood
MORE THAN RITUAL
Masonry that attempts to live with in the four walls of its Temple and finds its only expression in its ritual and symbols has missed the essence of its life. Masonry is the great institution for blessing and uplifting mankind. The gospel of democracy is taught more clearly in our beloved Order than in any other organization in the world. It is the gospel that places its value upon human life and says: "We are going to meet upon the level and give you a fair chance in life to work and become successful." And whenever we have been in touch with a human life, be it social, political or personal relation, let us leave it better than we found it. Our work in Masonry is to unit all conditions and闷气 into one great brotherhood. Missouri Freemason.
Brother. I am about to present you with the lamb-skin, which is an emblen of a Mason, more ancient than the Golden Fleece or Roman Eagle, and lies more honorable than the star and The Builder
