Many Prominent Speakers Present CONGRESSMAN FESS DECLARES ALL CHILDREN SHOULD RECEIVE EDUCATION Atlanta, May 10. What has been pronounced as the most successful and beneficial session of the Georgia Association for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes, the Georgia Association of Teachers in Colored Schools and the Georgia Colored Parent Teachers Association and what has been conceded to have been the most important meeting, ever held here by educators, social workers, business and professional men and women convened in this city May 4th through the 7th. "The Negro youth of Georgia shall be educated" was the slogan of the convention and characterized the conduct of all the discussions. Many of the most seasoned minds, at the close of the session expressed themselves as recognizing the dawn of a new day in the educational life of the youth of this commonwealth. The joint session opened May 4th, S. p. m. in the auditorium of Bethel A. M. E. church, Prof. C. I. Harper, presiding. The welcome address was delivered by Dr. J. W. E. Bowen on behalf of the citizens of Atlanta. Response on behalf of the Association of Teachers in Colored Schools was made by prof. Silas N. Floyd, Prof. H. A. H. hunt responded on behalf of the Georgia Association . for the Advancement of Education Among Negroes. Mrs. H. H. Butter, president of the parent-teachers association spoke on the importance of parent and teachers co-operating in order to obtain the best results in the training of the youth. Capt. A. T. Walden outfielder the minimum amount the Georgia Association asked for the college school authorities for Negro education. Music for the occasion was furnished by Miss Annie Masse, Miss Sly and an octette from the Gate City Teachers Association. The first day's session began Thursday morning noon 32 o'clock. President H. A. Hunt, presiding. "To what extent are Negroes taking part in education and how can they be induced to do more" was ably discussed by Prof. W. P. Strickland. "To what extent are public school officials showing interest among Negroes and how can they be induced to do more" was discussed by Walter B. Hill, supervisor rural schools. Mr. Hill advocates the system of placing the school on a paying basis, building of as few schools as possible and the consolidation of many rural schools by building larger and more buildings, thus making it possible for students in rural schools to secure at least 9th grade education before going elsewhere for training. "How can inter-racial committees help in securing better schools for Negroes" was discussed by Dr. W. W. Alexander and Mrs. J. E. Andrews, white of Atlanta. Both outlined a very definite program by which better schools for Negroes could be secured by the co-operation of the two racial groups. At the afternoon session the annual address was given by President Hunt and a report by Dr. J. A. Martin, field secretary. Dr. Martin stated that through the association additional county demonstrators and Jeanne agents had been appointed. In the study of 13 counties he found an average school term of 6 months and an average salary of $35 per month. An interview character of the session was Prof I. S. Ingram of Spartin, a pioneer in Negro education, having taught for 40 years. "What he can be taken to have Negroes share more largely in bond issues" was discussed by H. W. Russell. Thursday evening opened at 5 p.m. Prof. H. A. Hunt, presiding. "The Need of co-operation between religious and educational forces and how it may be obtained" was discussed by Dr. Shamuria, pastor Warren Chapel M. E. church and Dr. M. W. Redickell of Americus, Dr. Shamuria said "Insurance is a common enemy to all well organized society; it has not neither racial nor geographical significance. When America and her allies recognized Germany as her common foe it was possible for black men and white men of every part of America to, for the time being at least, lay aside whatever differences they may have had one with the other and come together with the strength of united man-power to put the enemy to flight. As ignorance and its allies, vice crime and superstition are enemies to educational forces and to religious organizations alike, the time has come for all of these forces to make common Music for the occasion was furnished by a group of singers from Spelman Seminary, Morris Brown University, Misses Nable and Rosa Hall. An unexpected selection and one that delighted the audience was the contralto solo rendered by Miss Annie H. Simmons. One of the most definite contributions made to the discussion of the whole convention was the address of Prof Clinton J. Calloway of Tuskegee Institute who perhaps has done more toward getting various agencies to co-operate in building better schools in rural communities than any other (Continued on page 4) The Savannah Tribune. Exercises Held Sunday at Tabernacle Church Splendidly Conducted The nine local lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, the Patriarch, Past Grand Master's Council and the Households of Ruth, held befitting exercises on Sunday afternoon at Tabernacle Baptist church in celebration of the annual thanksgiving of the order. The lodges assembled at Odd Fellows hall, Duffy street, west, and marched in a body to the church, the procession was headed by Grand Marshal, George Anderson. The line of march is given out in last week's issue of The Tribune was followed. The lodges made a creditable showing, having out a larger attendance than has taken part in these exercises for several years. The interest manifested by the members and the showing made last Sunday will no doubt have a tendency to influence the return to the order of many that have dropped out on account of the condition the order was placed in through the differences of the grand lodge and national officers. The exercises were splendidly conducted and the participants acquitted themselves admirably. NEAR MILLION AND QUARTER FOR EDUCATION NEAR MILLION AND QUARTER FOR EDUCATION W. Virginia Makes Liberal Appropriations STATE TO HAVE EIGHT INSTITUTIONS FOR THE EDUCATION OF NEGROES Charleston, W. Va. May 9—Over a million dollars, or, to be exact, $1,256,216.46 was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia legislature, before its adjournment last week, for the creation and support during the next two fiscal years beginning July 1st next, of Negro agencies and Institutions, educational, elec- mency and corrective. Of this amount approximately, one-third goes to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, which receives for salaries, buildings and current and other expenses $433,724.46. For the same purposes the Bluefield Colored Institute has placed to its credit $132,644, and Shorter College, a private school, $6,000. The newly created institution fared equally as well, the hospital for ins- geting $150,000 for buildings and land and $20,000 for current general expenses. The industrial school for boys was allowed $150,000 for buildings and land, and a similar home for girls $60,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of the colored Orphan Home, that institution is to receive for rebuilding $125,000, the tuberculosis sanitarium gets $22,500, and the deaf and blind school $30,000. Other appropriations were: bureau of Negro Welfare and statistics $12,200 supervisor of Negro schools, $5,400; advisory council to the state board of education, $2,200. The state has already bought a 650 acre farm of rich bottom land as a site for the hospital for the insane, and negotiations are pending for a location for the deaf and blind school. The erection of buildings for both these establishments probably will be begun in the near future. Sites for the school for incorrigible boys and the home for wayward girls are to be selected by the advisory council, co-operating with the state board of control. When these are completed the state will have eight institutions for and under the management of Negroes. There was little disposition on the part of any member of the legislature to cut the recommendation for the institutions. Many of the white leaders championed them. The two Negro members of the Lower House viz: Harry S. Caphart, of Keystone, W. V., and T. G. Nutter of Charleston, W. V., placed all of their influence behind the interests of the Negroes of the state and were to a great degree responsible for the express degree responsible. The efforts of other Negroes in the state in behalf of legislation affecting Negroes as well as the whites show the progressive spirit of the West Virginia Negroes. ARRESTED FOR PLACING POSTERS IN WINDOWS Washington, D. C, May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—Fifty delegates attending the conference of the National Hate Congress presented a memorial to President Harding today protesting against lynching, peonage, unjust restriction in the exercise of suffrage Jim Crow laws and the practice of segregating on account of color in government departments in Washington. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY MAY 14 1921 Gov. Dorsey Stands Firm On Pamphlet REFUSES. TO MODIFY STATEMENTS: MADE IN PAMPHLET ON THE NEGRO BUT CALLS UPON CITIZENS TO AID IN BETTERING THE BAD CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA Atlanta, May 12, Gov. Dorsey to day released for publication letters he has mailed to Judge W. E. H. Searcy of the Flint circuit, Judge E. T. Shurley and Solicitor General M. L. Felts of the Toombs circuit, all of whom had previously made public letters addressed by them to him bearing on the pamphlet by the Governor and circulated under title "A statement from Gov. Hugh M. Dorsey as to the Negro in Georgia." Both the communications are concocted in highly digressive language, but are quite pithy, pointed and pertinent. The correspondence follows: **Letter to Judge Scarey** *Dear Sir: As it was my desire to handle the cases called to my attention and cited by me in my statement with reference to the Negro in Georgia without directing attention to the particular town and county in which the cases were alleged to have occurred, I refrained from giving any names. I regret that your letter brings publicity to The Rock, Upson county and your court. I had hoped, and I still hope, that your position would recognize what it is that I am less熟悉 of the matter cited by me; that the Negro has been subjected to mistreatment in Georgia and that the time has come to inaugurate a new policy, if we are to retain our own self-respect and maintain in our position a civilized people before the world. "Since 1885, there have been 145 Negroes ingrusted in Georgian. Reports to me with reference to the case of Edd White, the Negro referred to by you, confined me at the time that he would be traced if allowed to remain in jail. Upson county, in person, reenlisted him. By reason order him removed to Ribb county for safekeeping. This was done, saving the life of the man. I believe. "I caused an investigation—a white citizen of Georgia in whom I have every confidence—to go to Upson county to investigate the facts surrounding the case. The facts embodied in my statement are based upon his report in writing to me as governor of Georgia. This report is now before me. The name of the man who kicked the Negro girl in the stomach; the names of seven leading citizens who testify as to the good character and reputation of the Negro and who mite in expressing the opinion that the case against him was one of persecution; the names of four leading citizens in your circuit who stataled a committee had waited upon you and that you informed them that White would be put in the chalking—the names and the statements of these citizens are embodied in the report. Report of Situation The report in part states: "I attach hereto a letter from Mr., leading merchant of _____, to Colored Youth Should Continue Training CAMPAIGN TO HAVE STUDENTS FURTHER PURSE STUDIES BEING CONDUCTED THIS WEEK Washington, D. C. May 12—President Harding has given his approval and good will to the second annual "Go to High School. Go to College" drive which is a nation-wide campaign to encourage Negro youth to continue their education, being conducted this week, May 9th to 13th, by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, the pioneer Negro college fraternity, at its arvillous chapters situated throughout the United States. In a letter to Norman L. McGhee, the general secretary of the fraternity, President Harding wrote that the results of the first drive held June 6 to 12, 1920, seem to justify the repetition of the effort this year. "The need for effective work to reduce illiteracy among the colored people", he added, "is very great and manifestly it can be accomplished chiefly through, the equipment of members of the colored race to do educational work among their own people. You may be sure of my earnest sympathy and good will. Last year 2000 members of the fraternity of the country carried the gospel of "stay in high school and "go to college" to 500 schools, 700 churches and to a half million' parents and pupils. It is the hope of the fraternity to reach one million pupils this year." the effect that it his own knowledge White's reputation was good, and that he had credit at his place from $100 to $1,500 per year. Mr. — further stated that the treatment of White and his family was perfectly outrageous and a disgrace to Georgia. That the whole matter came about through feelings of White's success. That White was innocent, was foully treated, and ought to be pardoned outright. "Mr. — leading merchant of —, stated that he had known White for many years. That White had good credit at his place. That White had never gotten arrested before in his life that he had ever heard of. "I attach a letter written by — the leading — company of —. This letter states White's credit was good; also that his reputation for peaceableness is good, and his general reputation is good. These people state that White was not prosecuted but persecuted and that he ought to be pardoned. "I called to see Mr. _____ leading merchant of _____ and one of the biggest farm owners in that section of the state. He stated that he knew your excellence personally. He added to tell us that he was off. If he sent to the chalkgang or fluid one cent that the court house of Georgia ought to be torn town." "I called to see every merchant in one, and without exception every one of them stated that White and his family had a good reputation, and had good credit; and they had never heard of them getting in trouble before. Several merchants told me that they could not afford to write letters, and I told them that I told me that White was being persecuted but he could not afford to get in a controversy between a Negro and white people." "The report gives a detailed account of the shooting up of the Negro's home, when only his wife and small children were in it. View of the Investigator "In the report the investigator says: "I regret that some of the good people who talked to me would not write letters to your excellency. This was due to one of three things: Timidity, not desire to take a Negro's part against white people, or fear of ruining their business. The best people told me to tell you that If White or any of his family ever put their foot in Upon county again and it was known to the people of The Rock, that they would be lynched. "I was told by several good people that the trial of White was a fake and a travesty of justice. That a certain class of people in Upon county had it in for any Negro that was the least prosperous and White especially; that they were determined to put him in the chaining; that if it took it ten witnesses to contact him they would get him; if it took it hundred, they would put up a hundred, and if it took 1,000, they would put up 1,000." "The report covers twelve typewritten pages. I quote only one of it to show you the type of matter that you can see when I included this case in the number cited by me in my statement. You will, I believe, agree with me that these facts justify the use which I have made of the information. "You state that you did not make the remark to the committee which waited upon you, as was reported to the investigator by four of your fellow citizens. I accept your statement as correct, but even when I do this, with the facts reported to me, I cannot modify my conclusions as to the case. "It was not my purpose, and it is not now my intention to go into a trial of each of the 155 cases cited by me. For this reason, I purposefully refrained from the publication of names, and it is now with the greatest reluctance that I publish the facts reported to me as to Upson county, being forced to take this step by your letter. It is not my desire to injure the reputation of any county, town or, official, but I do wish to awaken the people of Georgia to what I regard as the greatest threatening our state. This peril, I believe to be due to a failure upon the part of the majority of our people to appreciate what is taking place and the staggering sum total of charges made against us as a people in connection with our treatment of the Negro. "I appeal again to men of your position and to the press of the state to unite in this effort, and to refrain from trying to slide-track the question in a controversy over this or any other single case. I am confident that you and ninety-five per cent of the people of your circuit and of the state desire to do only what is best for the state and for our people both black and white. Will you not join me in seeking for a remedy for conditions which are causing the state to lose laborers whom we need, giving us an unspeakable reputation before the world, and planting the seed of lawlessness among our people that will prove disastrous to our children if not stopped?” The following letter was written to Judge E. T. Shurley and Solicitor General Felt of the Toombs circuit: Gentlemen; Replying to your letter of May 2, in which you expressed sentiment at my letter calling your attention to the alleged mobbing of Oscar Edwards. I call your attention to the fact that mention of this case had appeared in the press prior to the publication of the letter in my letter in view of the facts. I should have been derelict in my duty as governor if I had failed to direct your attention specifically to this case as it was reported to me. "One reason for this statement is that in 1991, Spearman Evans, a Negro in Tallafero county, appealed for executive clemency. The Atlanta Journal for Monday, March 25, 1991 says: "The Negro was sentenced to be hanged last Friday on a charge of criminal assault. Governor Dorsey granted blm a respite until Friday April 25. The lynching took place a few hours after news of the respite reached Crawfordville." "The Negro who was lynched had already been condemned to die. The respite of thirty days was granted only after a play by governor he time to get the facts of the case, which were wholly unknown to me. If any action has been taken to punish the members of the mob, it has come to my attention. W. J. Sturditant, to whom you refer, I believe, was sheriff at the time. "You say that the cause of the heating of Oscar Edwards was the use by the Negro of an oath, 'one which no Southern white man accepts.' I am sure that you will agree with me that the true spirit of the Anglo-Saxon, to which you refer with pride in which I share, calls for the resentment of such an insult at the time when given, and never justifies writing for the night to go in a garden, however small, beaten up, or killed. "Accepting as wholly true the reasoning advanced for this whipping of this Negro." I am sure that you as sworn officer of the law will agree with me that the law has been violated by these men. As intelligent men, you will further agree with me that the manner of the violation is typical of causes underlying the 415 cases of lynching which have disgraced our state. Under the circumstances I feel sure that the court in which you gentlemen serve will see that the honor of the law is vindicated in Tallafero (Ncontinued on page 4) NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE OFFERS 2 FELLOWSHIPS GREAT DEMAND FOR - TRAINED WORKERS AND EXCELLENT OP PORTUNITIES ARE OFFERED.

CHICAGO BUILDINGS ROCKED BY A BOMB CHICAGO BUILDINGS ROCKED BY A BOMB Ministers And Business Men Visit Mayor WOMEN AND GIRL STUDENTS TUMBLED FROM BED BY FORCE OF EXPLOSION Chicago, Ill., May 11th (Associated Negro Press).—Two flat buildings at 701-701; H. Fifthth street, were rocked by a bomb exploded last Friday night in an area way between the structures. Both buildings are owned and occupied by Negroes. Young women and girl students tumbled from their beds by the force of the detonation, at St. Narier's Academy, 412S Cottage Grove avenue. Many of the children rushed down from the academy in their night garments, believing the domiciliary wrecked. The explosion was heard for several miles. Residents near Washington Park thought at first the bomb had been set off at the home of Jesse Blinga, Negro real estate dealer and banker living at 3022 South Park avenue. His home has been bombed a number of times. The two structures attacked by the bombers are owned by Mrs. A. M. Polk and by C. A. Robinson. White families, who formerly occupied the flats, were instructed to move several months ago when the Negroes took possession. More than 200 Negro ministers and business men, headed by Mr. Blinga and the Rev. W. S. Braddon, last Friday sought an interview with Mayor Thompson to ask that the city offer a general reward for the apprehension of bomb vandals. The delegation, which was unable to see the Mayor, announced that it would appeal to the city council at its next meeting, asking that $100,000 of the city's money be set aside for the rewards. Alderman I. B. Anderson, of the Second ward, colored, will introduce the proposal and unless he and the Mayor help the delegation promised to be against them.

SCOTT ASSEMBLED DOCUMENTS TO CONTROVERT GERMAN PROPAGANDA. Washington, D. C. May 19—Recently in the House of Representatives, Honorable Martin B. Madden of Illinois spoke with particular reference to certain statements which have been made derogatory to the services of colored troops abroad. Mr. Madden, through a sense of fair-play, insisted that certain correspondence he had received from Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, Howard University, together with other letters and newspaper reports which clearly and definitely controverted the charges made against colored troops should be entered in the Congressional Record as an act to the propaganda which has been under way for some months to discredit not only the record of colored American troops abroad but the record of French colonial troops in the accrued area as well. Dr. Scott assembled a formidable array of documents to controversy this German propaganda in America including a letter written by Ambassador Jusserand of the French Republic to Mr. Henry E. F. Parker, of the Howard Park Citizens' Association, Washington, D.C., in which M. Jusserand states that the allegations constantly and persistently spread by German propaganda against our colored troops are absolutely, unfounded that their behavior does not justify in 'the least the scurrious accusations freely launched against them in sheets sent here from Germany, ready printed and in enormous quantities, for distribution all over the country. The correspondence also contained clippings from the New York Times, the Washington Post, Associated Press dispatches, and correspondence between Senator Seldon Spencer of Missouri, and former Secretary of State Colbrar. "Tuder all circumstances," DE scott said in his letter to Congressman Madden. "it must be clearly evident that a grave injustice has been done these French colonial troops, who fought so bravely against the Teutonic enemies during the world conflict. Their services were then regarded at face value. They helped to save the precious jewel of liberty for all the world. They proved to be troops not afraid of Germany's best and most seasoned veterans. It seems particularly malign under the circumstances not to have the courage to take up the above statements, which correct the very unfair—to use no more vigorous language—propaganda which has been circulated against them in this country. I refer to the matter as a colored American, because propaganda reflections of the same character were quite generally circulated about colored American troops who served in France. The libels in that case were finally and effectively disposed of, as they have been in the case mentioned above." Congressman Madden has again won the wholesouled approval of colored Americans for his courageous action in combating prejudice against our colored troops. His remarks have been reprinted in panphiet form and are being very widely distributed. Included in the correspondence which Congressman Madden wishes made a part of the Congressional Record Is a letter from Congressman Madden to Sussemino the United States in which he cites a German lady who says that the accusations against the Negro troops in occupied German territory are entirely false and mendacious. This letter reads as follows: Ambassade De La Republic France Aux Etats-Unis Washington, le January 10, 1921 Dear Sir, Answering your letter of the 6th I beg to say that the allegations constantly and persistently spread by German propaganda against our colored troops are absolutely unfounded; their behavior did not justify in the least the scurrilous accusations freely launched against them in sheets sent here from Germany, ready printed and in enormous quantities for distribution all over the country. There were some few cases of misbehavior, not more than with any other kind of troops, and in each case the guilty party was sent before the military judge and severely punished In spite of all efforts truth will come out and you may find a proof thereof in the New York Times of yesterday, Sunday, where in section 2, page 10, appears a letter from a German lady, living in that region, and who openly declares that those accusations are entirely false and mendacious. Believe me, dear sir. Congressman Madden also had presented 'other correspondence in which it was shown that although French colonial troops spent equivalent of 10,500,000 days in Germany there were but 227 complaints against them, of which 72 were maintained, 96 doubtful and 59 unfounded. The 72 proved cases resulted in 1 imprisonment for life, 7 suspended sentences, 28 imprisonments, 23 subjection to military discipline, and the dropping of 13 cases. Nine cases of attacks on women were established, according to the announcement. Held at St. Paul M. E. church the second Sunday in June. A very interesting program is being arranged for the day. Rev.

Bishop Beckett delivered an address closing with recommendations, then followed the appointment of committees and the annual report of Dr. J. W. Rankin, the corresponding secretary which covered a year of real missionary work. In his opening remarks he spoke of the home field needing more funds for operation. In speaking of the foreign work Dr. Rankin said: "To sustain and keep our foreign work alive has been one of our greatest tasks. We have had to strain every energy to meet the demand of this work' since the general conference in St. Louis last May. There were at least sixteen missionaries, here last general conference all of whom had to be taken care of while here, and their expenses of travel borne by this department. "We, however, have been able to not only maintain our former standing in the foreign field, but we have been able to extend the work. We have sent with Bishop Brooks, fire missionaries—spendid, well prepared young people, for work in West Africa. "The work of both the Woman's Parent Mite Missionary Society and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society have been commended. Both of these societies have largely increased interest in the missionary work of our church, to the extent that we have been encouraged when we otherwise would have become discouraged." The report showed that there was a balance of $2,932.29 brought forward from 1920, and the receipts during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1921, had been $76,276.84, making total $79,220.23. The expenditures up to date amounted to $77,602.27. The Easter collections reported up to April 1, amounted to $17,137.90. The secretary gave an itemized report of the collections and expenditures. The report was read by the private clerk, Dr. Rankin being slick. In the afternoon committees reported, and the conference adjourn sine the Bishop J. Albert Johnson and Bishop W. H.

AUNT KATHERINE ORDERED TO SEEK HABITABLE RESIDENCE New Orleans, La., May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—Declarating that she had lived for the past nine years in a cavern in a large pile of junk, "Aunt Katherine" Washington, a colored woman of uncertain age, set up a violent disclaimer when ordered by the city health authorities to seek a more habitable residence. According to the health authorities, the woman has been living in a small cavity created in the junk pile by the removal of various pieces of the junk, covered only with small bits of tin and wood and lined with rags and bits of carpets. When not in use the place was harricked with the top of an old tish wash boiler. Her cooking was all done over an open fire on the ground. Of a stylogan blackness, with long, yet kinky hair, streaming about her wrinkled face, "Aunt Katherine" presented a remarkable sight to the eyes of the health officers as she came scrambling out of her cave with the agility of a monkey. She wore a skirt of gummy sacking and a man's coat adorned with bits of twisted brass braid, ribbons and the five spot of clubs plinned on with a safety pin as a "protection against hoofs." She says she is not certain of her age, but "remembers being born" in Boston, brought south by the "nigger traders" and belonging to the "Sandy Hamilton of Lyons county, Miss., and no better white folkes ever put shoes on themselves." She admits one relative, a son, whom she said was "somewhere in the world, describing him as a "growned up young man, born in '67". In her youth, "Aunt Katherine" says she was "up to all manners of devilment," playing the fiddle and dancing. "But God's done called me from the hallroom floor," she explained, adding: "I wouldn't dance, no more, 'cept it was in some place like Chicago, where I was unbeknownst."

UNITED SOCIETY OF FILMERS OP FIRST DAY SERVICE GOVERNOR HUGH M. DORSEY Governor Dorsey is being 'raked over the coals' by certain prominent men throughout the state because of peonage conditions and mob violence his open confession of the horrors of laid at the door of Georgia. There is no attempt to deny or dispute the cases he reports nor even to justify the brutal crimes discovered on hun- dreds of plantations in the state; neither is there any extenuation of the hundreds of lynchings and burnings of men women and children which have taken place in the state, more here than else- where. Governor Dorser advocates "pilliflous publicity" as a means of bringing an end to this revelry of wrong and blood in the state, as a first remedy. "Let the people know," let the state officials "throw the white light" upon the crimes, the jurisidictions in which they occur, and the officials in whose ball-wickets they are taking place. What moves the Governor so courageously and unilitantly now needs not concern us so much. Let us all assume that he is actuated by highest motives of honor and justice, trying to save the state and the civilization, and let the sentiment of the good people, and law-abiding, stand by him and encourage him, in the consciousness of right and justice in the cause. What seems to worry most of the Governor's critics is that the people outside the state, throughout the nation and beyond the seas, may hear and know how Georgia reeks in blood and how general is oppression and pounce. The northern newspapers have been printing the "news," and Georgia people are chagrinned and humiliated. What reason can be offered that crimes of such surpassing deprivation and brutality should be hld and hushed up? Is not the whole state organization to blame for allowing such hideous and shuddering barbarism? Let's say the state, even at the expense of advertisement and embarrassment. VOTING AN HONORABLE DUTY Colored women will make a most serious error if they allow any influence to govern or interfere with a perfectly free expression of their opinion in the casting of their votes on the public measures and issues which are submitted for their election. The exercise of the right to vote is a sacred and honorable function of citizenship, and should not be subjected to criminal or designing influences. Whoever is entitled to the right to vote, certainly ought to be able to consider the question to be invoked on, intelligently, and if one is not competent to decide whether and how he should vote on a great public question, he should make an honest effort to inform himself, and then vote according to those honest convictions. Usually it is not necessary to urge the interested, conscientious voter to come out to the polls; and certainly, unless mutual reasons obtain, it is not necessary to gather him up in an automobile to bring him out. The good citizens will come out of his own accord, as may suit his convenience, and he will cast his vote according to the dictates of his own judgement, and in accordance with highest motives of general public interest, and he needs little influence or persuasion in the matter. Of course, there are rare exceptions. We are warning these newly enfranchised women because we saw some tactics last Tuesday which bore evidence that some of the women were being "round up". We saw automotiles, driven by persons who represented not themselves but others, bringing women to the polls to be "delivered" into the hands of those who had "marked ballots" ready for them to vote. They were being sent for and used by persons whom they did not even know. All this is contrary to the spirit of the suffrage, and will bring upon our women the same - stigma which is so often heaped upon the men. Congressman Sleep of Virginia, chairman of the committee, charged with "reorganizing" the Republican party in the South is not qualified, by reason of his innate and acquired prejudices to direct and pass upon any such, extraordinary proposition. He lacks the impartial mind and heart and attitude which should characterize one who would sit in judgment upon the fate of Negro Republicans. At the National convention last summer, Congressman Sleep had a contest before the National Committee of the Republican party. There was opposed to him a Negro lawyer of Virginia, named Pollard; and the contest involved the very same issues as between blacks and whites which marked the contest coming from so many sections of the South. The advantage was with Sleep, because he was a National committeeman, but the merit --- was seriously in dispute. Pollard lost the contest involving party controil in Virginia. Hence it is clear just how Congressman Slump feels on this very issue which he is called upon to settle for all time throughout the South. It is most likely and most natural to settle it about as he would settle affairs in Virginia. That is, he will tend to silence the Negro as a factor in politics in the South. He will "settle" Georgia first. He will move on to the other states; if something is not done to forestall him. Will the Negro not arise to prevent this destruction of his political power, and hence all power? Or will he suffer it as usual, hoping that it will come out all right? Does "reorganization" not mean the destruction of the "organization" that is? WOMEN AT THE POLLS It was an interesting and imposing spectacle to see women of the city, white and colored, newly enfranchised, casting their votes "for" and "against" the hospital, bond Issue last Tuesday. Their enthusiasm for this most novel undertaking for their sex was pleasing to behold, and it gave earnest of stirring times around the polls in the future, when matters of such vital interest shall move as Women will doublets prove more concientious than men on the issue which elections are held to determine. They will not so easily be led to cast their vote and influence where they may think their political advantage lies; they will look more keenly to the high purposes which should actuate a voter when he exercises the right; they will support measures calculated to improve the moral, educational and economic interests of the community, without regard to partisan connections simply; they will stand for progressive measures, at the expense of graft and selfish motives. It will be with them more a question of what is right and best for the most people. We were glad to see many colored men there, exercising the right of suffrage, intelligently and orderly and sensibly, and what is more important, voluntarily and according to their just convictions. They were intensely interested in the proceedings throughout the day; maintained large relays of workers who kept on the job from the opening to the closing of the polls, helping others who little understood the mechanism of elections to pursue the right course to cast their votes according to their convictions. The Republican League of Women Voters, headed by some of the most energetic and alert and aggressive women of the race in this city, had its committee at their posts early. From their headquarters nearby, they directed a vigorous campaign to facilitate the voting of the colored women of the city; and it must be said to their credit that they urged the women to vote in accordance with their honest convictions on the issue which was submitted to the people. Attempts to corral them or persuade them to vote the views of others against their will and best judgment were met with logical argument to the contrary and the declaration that they were capable of thinking for themselves. Fortunately, the majority of the women who are registered are intelligent, thinking and courageous women; they meet in their strong organization regularly to discuss the merits of public questions and issues; these lead and instruct those of lesser experience and training; they all learn how to consider vital questions of public policy, what is best for them and how they may express their approval or disapproval at the polls. These enthralling women have staged mock elections so as to better teach by example the routine of casting one's vote, contesting and challenging disfranchisement and hence they were fairly well able to met the new situation they faded last Tuesday; they will be more able when the next time arrives. These women who took the vanguard of duty and campaign on Tuesday deserve the plaudits of the masses of the people; they deserve our warm support and aid; they deserve to have enrolled with them as members of their organization, every woman who loves her race in this city. Georgia Association for Negro Education Friday morning's session opened with Prof. W. W. Thomas presiding. Addresses were delivered by Prof. M. L-Brittain, state superintendent; City Supt. W. F.

Congressman Fess treated special tribute to the loyalty and patriotism of the colored people to the American flag. He asked the co-operation of the teachers in support of the public welfare measure recommended by President Harding now before the United States Congress. He pledged himself as being anxious to do all in his power to see that the colored man got a square deal in all matters coming under his influence or jurisdiction. Other prominent speakers at the Saturday morning session were: Hon. M. L. Littitain, Hon. Lawton P. Evans, of Augusta; Hon. H. L. Gibson and Supt. W. F. Dykes. The session came-to a close after an automobile excursion through the various schools ending at Morris Brown University where field day exercises were given under the direction of Wm. J. Faulkner. The Gate City Teachers Association and the Fulton County Teachers Association were hosts of this convention. Georgia Club in N. Y. Adopts Resolutions Copy of Strong Resolutions Sent To Governor Dorsey Headquarters, United Sous of Georgia, Incorporated, 2152 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y. New York City, April 6, 1921 To His Excellency, Hugh M. Dorsey, Governor of the State of Georgia, Dear Sir: I am sending you herewith enclosed a set of resolutions passed on April 3rd, 1921 by the United Sons of Georgia. Incorporated, of the State of New York. In all of our wanderings, we have never deemed it a dishonor to claim Georgia as the home of our birth, and for this reason, three years ago, sixteen colored men decided to form an organization in the midst of this cosmopolitan city to perpetuate the memories of "dear old Georgia." Since then, we have a membership of over three hundred, and still they come, the best and most thotful colored men who have in recent years made New York their home. We also have a women's auxiliary with a membership of about two hundred and fifty, making in both branches a total of five hundred and fifty persons. We were incorporated under the laws of the state of New York, October 27, 1818, for this reason though separated from the good people of Georgia by many miles of land and water, the sympathetic ties that bind us can never be broken. "Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land; If such there be, go mark Him well." We feel it a privilege and duty to address you in order that you might be conscious of the fact that even outside of the state, there are native Georgians who wish you and all law-abiding citizens well, in all righteous pursuits. Jno. P. Taylor, Advocate At a meeting of the Club held on April 3, 1821, the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, the fair name of our native state has been recently brought to ill-repute and shame on account of the recent Jasper county exposures; Whereas we have always deceived it an honor to be citizens by birth of the Improp State of the South; and Whereas, the recent events have brought us so much humiliation and shame, be it Resolved: That we extend to the Governor of the State of Georgia, our heartfelt sympathy and pray that he might be upheld by God and all good citizens, in this their hour of anxiety and humiliation. Respectfully submitted, Wm. H. Jackson, President Geo. S. Johnson, Secretary Jno. P. Taylor, Advocate. The Governor's Reply The governor's reply was as follows: "State of Georgia, Executive Department, Atlanta, "John P. Taylor, Advocate. 141 85th Street, New York City, N. Y. "Dear Sir: In the absence of Governor Dorsey, I acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 6th inst. enclosing resolutions passed by your organization on April 3rd, endorsing him for his efforts in connection with the Jasper county murders.

The costumes displayed the skill of both teacher and pupils and were all so attractive that the judges had quite a task to decide on the winners of the prizes. The first prize was won by Mrs. L. Overstreet and the second by Miss Mabel Whitfield. Three of the dresses deserving honorable mention for grace of fine and artistic work, were Mrs. Lula Taylor, who wore gray crops de chine embroidered in navy; Miss Izetta Harris, a gray georgette, over Alice blue satin, embroidered in peau blue; and Mrs M.

PHONE 1820 INSECT ENEMIES—BOLL WEVIL The boll weevil is the most destructive insect enemy of the cotton plant. In 1852 it crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico near Brownsville, Texas. During the 28 years since then its invasion of the United States has been practically unchecked, until now it covers almost the entire area of cotton production, only about 115,00 square miles being free of the pest at the close of 1010. The boll weevil is a decided menace to the prosperity and welfare of America. It presents a problem that must be met with if patience, persistence and co-operation. While the onward march of the pest has not been stopped we have learned by experience how to fight it, and if we will all work together, and all act intelligently, there seems little reason to doubt that eventually we can almost: if not entirely eradicate it. The best methods of fighting the weevil are as follows: 1. Pick the cotton as early in the fall as possible and immediately chop the stalks and turn them under. Not only will this return humus to the soil, but it will deprive the weevil of its food and force it into its winter quarters in poor, physical condition, making it unlikely that it will survive the winter. 2. Select good seed of early maturing varieties. Let your local farm adviser or your agriculture college advise you as to the best variety for your locality. The earlier we pick our cotton, the earlier we can plow under the stalks and cut off the food supply of the weevil. These methods of fighting the boll weevil have made it possible to save one of the greatest of American crops from total destruction. Early attempts to poison the weevil were far from successful but in 1918 the Ditta laboratory at Tallulah, Louisiana, conducted experiments on 35,000 acres of cotton, using calcium anatase in the form of a poison dust spray. The results were, considered satisfactory and were made public. Last year many cotton growers tried the plan with such success that it is more or less generally believed that this method of combating the boll weevil will spread rapidly. But the use of a poison spray calls for properly devised, machinery; it involves many details. For these reasons it is advisable that those who desire to use the method should secure full information from the laboratory at Tallulah. The weevil eats nothing but cotton and goes into winter quarters close to the field, hiding in old stumps, piles of trash or wherever it can had protection. Only a small per cent survive the winter; very few that go into winter quarters poorly feel like till spring. Those that do survive, feed on the buds of the plants from the time the plants are very young until the squirrels are formed. When the weevil first appears in the spring, it is very weak and is easily picked off the plants. This work is usually done by children but a thorough job will pay big returns. CHATHAM CO. FARMERS HOLD MONTHLY MEETING On Monday May 9, at the GA. State College, dairy rooms, the members of the Chatham County Farmers' Instal held their regular monthly meeting. The farmers discussed the project of shipping the snap beans to the northern and eastern markets. The different ones present decided to purchase over 500 crates for the purpose of shipping the beans, from one section of the country. Miss Janie B. Daniels, home demonstration agent for Glynn county, was present and gave an inspiring report of the work being accomplished in her section. Mr. B. S. Adams, local agent urged the farmers to sign the papers for the purpose of getting the purchased pigs this year. Quite a number have signed for getting a full line of better stock in the country. The few farmers that purchased the Duroc Jersey pigs last year have stimulated interest to a large number of other farmers in this county. Mr. B. A. Williams, state agent was present and gave the farmers a real interesting talk on the growing of crops for market. Miss Juanta Conyers, home demonstration agent, discussed with the farmers the project of building the Community Kitchen at White Bluff this summer. The members of the institute are adding in the building of the kitchen. DEAL. CLUB ACTIVITIES At the regular business meeting on the White Bluff Home Demonstration Club, which was held on Tuesday May 10, at the home of Mrs. Charlotte Gadsden on West 32nd street, the following report being given by different members to the home demon- stration agent.

The members decided at the meeting to give house entertainments for the purpose of getting material in line for the Community Kitchen. The members were fortunate in having Mrs. B. L. Richardson of 652 Bismarck street joining the club. The rural club is very fortunate in having a large number of city ladies as their members. In having the meetings at the different homes, it brings the rural sisters in a closer touch with the city sister. At the close of the meeting Mrs. Gadisdon served delicious ice and cakes to the delight of the members. FILMS SHOWS EXTENSION WORK AMONG NK WORK AMONG NEGROES How the Negro farmer of the South is becoming a more prosperous and contended citizen through the influence of agricultural extension work is shown in a new motion picture produced and recently released by the United States Department of Agriculture. The picture was made in cooperation with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and Tuskegee Institute. The picture is in two reels, under the title "Helping Negroes to Become Better Farmers and Homemakers." The central character is Rube Collins a typical Negro farmer. He is brought in touch with agricultural extension work through his discovery that the boll weevil is ravaging his cotton fields. Through the county agent he learns how to raise cotton despite the boll weevil and how to diversify his crops so that his farming will bring a good return. Later on the film shows the appointment of Negro extension workers, both men and women, and their work among Negroes. Another feature of the film is a "movable school" which carries instruction for farming and home work direct to the farms. The picture ends with a family scene at the Collins home an a photograph fading into the strains of "Swanger River." The picture will be circulated through the distribution system of the department and co-operating State In situations Copies may be bought authorized persons or institutions a the cost of manufacturing, which is about 890 for the two reels PEACH CROP MOVING AT FORT VALLEY Fort Valley, Ga, May 9—The May crop of peaches at Fort Valley and visibility is being gathered and shipped with the opening of the peach season many old friends and former residents visit this place.

Miss Arie B. Budger, of the Atlantic public school system will teach La. fish in the summer school at For Valley this year and W. A. Perrin, principal of St. Athanasius school, Brunswick, and a graduate of Yah College, will be director Miss Oziedel Hart, who has charge of the domestic science department at the American public school and who has done post graduate work at Columbia University will teach domestic science. The community was shocked and saddened by the death of Mrs. Beauty Lee Walker Stewart on last Saturday, afternoon. Her illness was of short duration as was her life. She was still in her teens. She is survived by a husband and an infant and other relatives. The sound of the whistle at the Crate Factory is again a welcome one.

LET'S HAVE A BALL PARK THE SAVANNah base ball club of the colored Southeastern Atlantic League has been handicapped on account of not having a park in which to play its scheduled games. The games between Atlanta and Montgomery teams had to be called off on the above account. At the beginning of the season the team used the Georgia State College diamond, but the distance from the city to the college assisted the abandonment of that diamond. It is understood, however, that the management has secured the use of alot at Bay and Lathrop avenue in the western section of the city and is now working on a plan for its enclosure. Savannah should have a park and every layer of the sport should assist the management in some way in fencing in the lot. The place in question is the property of the Central railroad and it is through the kindness of those who have the property in charge that the management of the team has been given the privilege of the use of the ground. Let's have a ball park. Friday, May 20, will mark the annual field day of Ga. State College. The track features to take place will be very interesting and will be participated in by both male and female teams. The public is invited.

JACK DEMPSEY LOOKING FOR TRAINING PARTNER New York, N. Y. May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—It is sold 2,000, 100 men are out of work in this country, yet several good jobs are going begging. Jack Dempsey is finding it difficult to secure hired hands for his training quarters which he will presently pitch in Atlantic City by the sea waves. It's a funny thing about some of our big fighters. They claim they can kill Dempsey, but when they are offered the opportunity of doing it every day, they say off. Dempsey does not ask them to "pull" when they are training with him. He puts them under no bonds to keep the peace. He is willing to have them tear into him, biff, bang and there is nothing to prevent them from knocking him out if they cut. Thus it would appear to be a great opportunity for a man to make a quick reputation, but is there any great rush to the doors of opportunity? There I not! When Dempsey was training for Jess Willard, his manager, Jack Kernus, went to Harry Wills, this Negro heavy, and offered him $5,000 to work with the present champion. Wills declined the offer. This was probably more money that Wills received from his average lattie. He does not appear often in the ring and much is said of his inability to secure matches. At Wills would not work with Dempsey, and his reason was that he thought he could whip either Dempsey or Willard. Perhaps he could. But it seems strange he did not jump at the opportunity of proving it. Training equiv courtesy may demand that so training partner must not "show up" the man he is working with, but where the man is a defiant champion who has no object to being shown up. It would appear to be great sport for a contender. Kid Norfolk, another Negro fighter, who claims a title, has declined to asst Dempsey in preparing for Carpenter. Norfolk's reason is said to be that he thinks he can whip Dempsey. He says he will work with Jack if the champion will guarantee him a title match later on. Norfolk does not need 'such a guarantee from Dempsey. If he can go into Dempsey's training quarter and display superbity over the champion, nothing could keep him out of a title fight. Furthermore, the man who tilted Dempsey would assuredly be a great card, title or no title. Norfolk claims the Negro heavy-weight champion, and bears a belt to that effect. He is a pretty cool fighter and would be very valuable to Dempsey. He is fast and crafty. Harry Gribb, the Pittsburgh windmill, is said to have refused an offer to join Dempsey. Gribb has often expressed a desire to fight Jack and it would seem that the training quarters would furnish him the opportunity to display his worthiness for a bout with the champion. Every big man in the business will be asked to Atlantis City for a remuneration while the champion is getting ready BRUNSWICK NINE DEVILS DEFEAT EFERN DEFEAT, FERNANDINA Geo. Wells, manager of the Nine Devils base ball team made a business trip to Savannah last week. In the interest of his club, Mgr.

ELKS CARD TEAM VERSUS IMPERIAL The card teams of Weldon Lodge of Elks and the Imperial club met on Thursday night at the Imperial club rooms, in a limited number of games of "live up" for the bridege cup which is being played for by several organizations of the city. The cup was recently won by the Imperial teams from the Fox club and on Thursday night the champions were called upon to defend their title. The games played by both teams were very hard and caused a great deal of comment from those witnessing the plays. The match finally ended by the Imperial defeating the Elks, score G1 to 52.

NEGROES ORGAN IZE TO FIGHT KU KLUX KLAN Knights of the Kersoine Kan, is Name Used NEITHER HEADS NOR TALE OF MYSTERIOUS NEW ORGANIZATION CAN BE LOCATED Somewhere in The South, May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—"Fighting Fire With Fire" certain groups of Negroes in various sections of the South have formed an underground drastic organization that is throwing actual terror into the hearts of the members of the nefarious Klu Klux Klan. The name of this mysterious but certainly effective organization is the Knights of the Kerosene Kan. The word has gone out and has reached the places where words count most, that for every Negro terrorized or unjustly put to death, there shall be a demonstration in fireworks in the community theragabout. So mysteriously are the workings of this invisible body that neither heads nor tail of it can be located, and yet it is known that where certain perceptions of terror have been carried on, there has simultaneously occurred, mysterious fires that have lighted up the country for miles around. In the southern city, well known throut the nation, where "the Klux sought to terrorize the community because of the mere alleged attack of a Negro upon a white woman, and the Klux called" for "all red blooded PRO All burial problems are met by We have the praise that is be- by a polite effort to satisfy th our clients.

Washington, D. C., May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—Color prejudice ramifications in Washington afford a startling and sickening study. Governmental departments are honey combed with petty, insensible and un-American hold faced discriminations—albeit, there are occasions where it is sought to cove up the real menace with ostrich like camouflage. Revealing these conditions, The Associated Negro Press feels that a public duty is being performed, in as much as there is universal hope that many of the conditions will be corrected under the new administration. Washington, as the nation's capital, should set the example for the rest of the country in American principles. The Southern idea of "dealing with the Negro" has had an eight year sway, and the most has been made of the time. These practices have been so effective that there is not a single theatre in Washington where colored people mayga, except for those conducted exclusively for the race, or where persons who can "pass" run the gambitlet. The same brand of prejudice is nation-wide in egalitiveness, for the city is made up with people from everywhere who not only write back home, but who go back from time to time telling the folks "how we treat 'em in D. C." It's a fine little game of "black man." The keystone of governmental discrimination is the Civil Service department. They have worked the scheme out there to a "frack-sklin" as they say in Indiana—meaning the "unimpeachable" part of a fraction. It starts with the examinations, where it has been demonstrated that the lowest possible grades are given colored applicants, especially in spelling and writing. And yet, the records bear witness that even with handicaps, colored applicants make a higher average than the majority of whites. The nefarious Wilson executive order system of compelling applicants to be photographed, is another part of the program which is wholly out of harming with civil service ideas, and should be abolished. Notwithstanding this prima facie method, hundred of applicants are certified for various positions, only to find when they put in an appearance that, "the place has just been filled." During war times there were large numbers of pathetic instances where both men and women came to the city from long distances, only to find the door closed in their faces. Each of the various bureaus have what is known as a "Chief clerk" and an "appointment clerk." These are the goats, and are the ones who do the dirty work in the matter of appointments, but it could not be carried on successfully without the endorsement of the "man on top." Take a specific case in point that happened recently in the department of Commerce, under the Secretary Hoover. It is stated that a young colored man was sent personally by the Secretary to the appointment clerk with the instructions that he be placed, he having been certified by the Civil Service. The automatic appointment clerk informed the young man that "There is a clerkship, but you would have to work among whites, and the best I can do now is place you on as a messenger." Can you beat that for nerve? There are hundreds of cases like it. There are hundreds of persons in Washington departments who are capable of being chief; who frequently have more ability than their so-called chiefs, and are called upon to perform his duties, and yet they are not permitted to advance. There are scores of messengers, college graduates, who are hanging on with the hope that time will some day give them a chance to measure up. Young women are compelled to battle with equal force and determination for an opportunity to work for the government, except many of them have the additional battle for their character, in a manner very much in keeping with certain regional ethics. Shall colored Americans, who are anxious to serve the country in the Federalized Guard be received on the same basis as others, or shall they all be compelled to epilisty under the order which permits only certain military privileges. The recent 'exposition on this subject is creating wide comment. Citizens throut the country are urged to write Secretary of War Weeks of the War Department, Washington, D. C., and urge the repeal of an order which is unfair to American manhood. The Associated Negro Press has tak on the matter up directly with the Secretary of War, and a formal expression on the subject is expected in a short time. It has been pointed out to the Secretary that under the present arrangement real blooded men present the plan as un-American, regardless of the very clandestine statement on the subject by former Secretary Baker, who stated that it was without prejudice. "Can Discrimination be without prejudice?" asks the "Man Furthest Down." Secretary Denby, of the Department of the Navy, a citizen of Michigan, where the Republican party was born for the cause of human liberty and justice, together with his worthy asistant, Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, son of the architect of the "Door of Hope—the Door of Opportunity"—those men should take the unwritten law of color prejudice out of the government that has very effectively placed the "kiboosh" on colored Americans. the Navy Department, reflect very unmistakably the "spirit of the Navy." Colored clerks, and even messengers, are conspicuous by their absence. It is pointed out by observers that to make headway in social justice Departmental heads "must take an unquestioned stand for the things that are right. The spirit of their stance should permeate every corner and service of the work under them, just as the spirit of injustice permeated to the last inch under the last Wilsonian regime. It is further pointed out that the example of the government. It attitude in dealing with human beings will-go a very long way in helping to develop a just and fair attitude of many in every section of the United States, and in all phases of economic life. Governmental example, backed up by constitutional governmental determination, will prove an unfaltering panacea for many "lifts."

Stanley, Georgia Commissoor of Labor. The general labor situation has improved since the first of this year, Mr. Stanley had, but some sections of the state report a super-abundance of unskilled labor," at this time. Statistics compiled on January 1 showed 50 per cent reduction in employment from January, 1920 to January, 1921, in cotton mills and fertilizer factories, with 32,000 railroad ship and track men idle." Mr. Stanley stated that since that time the strike on the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad has added several hundred more railroad men to those idle. DOCTORS TO MEET HERE NEXT YEAR Dr. W. A.

Motorizing across country is usually sport of the most enjoyable kind, but some times its quite strenuous. We don't know in which category the four physicians who left here this week for Angusta, will place their trip, but we rather surmise they are somewhat not overjoyed with rural touring since their harrowing experiences last Tues- day night on the road. It seems that everything went well CARTER'S LITTLE RIVER PILLS with them until they got within about twenty miles of Augusta.

Not seeing any colored people near where they were went to a white farmer who allowed them to stop over in his burn. There they dried as best they could their water-dried clothing. Next morning they went out to continue their journey to Augusta and found that some one had received their tar of its battery. After looking around for some houses a farmer came upon, then she told them he had a battery which they might buy. This they did and they continued on their journey only to have further trouble in the convention city when a certain important part of their car decided it was tired working and runned a foot. This, however, was the last heard of their trouble and we rather support they'll freeze back home to day without any further road annoyances.

BUTLER CAN'T SELL NE- GROES PROPER- TY WITH WHIFES Real Estate Board Issues Orders BIG REAL ESTATE MOVEMENT TO BE STARTED BY NEGROES TO RELIEVE THE SITUATION Chicago, Ill., May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—Any real estate dealer who sells Negroes property in streets or avenues where there are only white owners will be expelled from the Chicago Real Estate Board. This is the edict recently issued by the Board at a meeting of its executive committee and afterwards indorsed and adopted by the full board membership. The action of the Board came as no surprise to the public at large. For many months an agitation has been rampant calling loudly for a definite settlement of this question. Loudest in its demands has been an organization known as the Grand Boulevard Property Owners' Association. This organization has been very active in its opposition to the purchasing of property by Negroes in what are now known as "exclusive white" sections." A stout fight had to be made, however, by the advocates of a full-fledged segregation plan in respect to the Negro population of the city. For reasons best, known to certain real estate interests Negroes have been easily able to purchase property. In the first instance there was a much larger margin of profit in selling to first clays Negro clients than there could possibly be in the selling of the same property to ordinary whites. In the second instance, what is tacitly recognized as the new zoning plan of the corporate interests here alms to use the larger portion of the South and Southeast sections—where the Negroes are to be found in largest numbers—have been set aside the fast growing manufacturing business of the city. This last fact brings to the surface a rather important bit of financial strategy on the part of the "interests" A Negro is sold a piece of property in a "white Section" and immediately the value of the surrounding property falls to a low level. It is then sold to Negroes at a price far exceeding its original value on the installment plan, when the time becomes ripe for the original purposes of the "interests" mortgages are closed, the Negro buyers are exited, "their homes" are razed and manufacturing plants of varying nature are erected in their places. Some of the lesser powers in the Real Estate Board finally got wise to the fact that the "white delicatessen hounds" were the real "boobs" in the matter. It is quite clear that many Negroes have suffered severe losses, but in the main it was the poor society straining whites who have had to meet the larger loss both in the matter of their pride and money. Now that the cat is out of the bag a real movement is about to be started that will give the Negro, at least, a genuine run for his money. It will be started by Negroes. Suburban property is to be used to relieve the tension. Morgan Park is already in the field supplying the real estate needs of a considerable number and the Dunbar Realty Company in making ready a full half section of land in a most desirable part of the district immediately adjacent to the city line that is to be planned to meet the most modern ideas in the matter of beautiful small homes with attractive surroundings for Negroes. In fact the Negroes have reached the conclusion, since some forms of segregation are apparently inevitable, that they will do their own segregation and thus have a hand in determining its character. This is something they have never been able to do up to this time. "This will be a distinct gain," said a prominent Negro recently. New York, May 11th (Associated Negro Press)—Gen. Jacob C. Coxey may lead another army to Washington, he said, explaining there are 5,000,000 unemployed in the country, many of whom have written to him that they are anxious to get going. "I am holding these fellows, off" said the general, "until I see what action is taken, by the Government on measures beneficial to our cause. But if nothing is done up to July 1, I'll say 'come on, boys' About 30,000 unemployed are declared ready to join in the army march to Washington.

Fitzgerald is among the aspirants for the position of Recorder of Deeds at Washington. AMONG THE MASONS THE SANCTITY OF THE HOME. There is no virtue that civilized man can exemplify, but Masonry demands its observance. There is no honor or fault; that man owes to man; no chivalrous protection that he can give to woman, or sweet reverence and aid to helpless children no charity he can bestow upon the distressed; no service he can render the state, or obesance he can pay to eternal duty, but makes him a better man and Mason for today, and a more worthy exponent of the tradition of Masonry's immemorial past. His Mason life, if in an endeavor to follow the paths of peace and duty, will to future generations the story of eternal warfare between truth and error, in which character is built Freemasonry, the most ancient secular institution, forever looks to the protection of the home, because the home is the citadel of childish innocence and womanly virtue, the place of childish laughter and youthful mirth. The laugh of a child makes the holiest place more sacred still. Strike with hands of fire. O weird musician thy harp strung with Apollo's golden hair. Fill the vast cathedral ales with symphonies sweet and dim, def toucher of the organ keys. Blow bumble, blow, till thy silver tones do touce and kiss the moonlit waves, and charm the lovers wandering 'mild the vine-clad hills; but know thy sweet est strains are discords, all, compared with childhood's happy laugh. The laugh that fills the eyes with light and every heart with joy. O beautiful riter of laughter, thou art the blessest boundary line between the beasts and men, and every rippling wave of thine doth drown some freewill friend of carr. O laughter, rose-lipped daughter of joy, thou hast dimples in the cheeks to catch and hold and glorify, all the tears of grief. Home is Cupid's nesting place; her he lays his most tempting sures an practices his most cunning wiles Here sorrow shifts her greatest burden and death blows His cookies breath; here faith is anchored, hope born and charity cradled; here th flowers are most fragrant, the wate purest, the birds sings sweetest. Here the stars shine brightest, and every woodland path is in memory; milky may leading to a shrine of lore and across you brink of time fair lips will whisper peace, and the fire refrain of Eternity will be a symphony of Home Sweet Home. May this noble institution of Miraalty, Friendship and Brotherly Love as time goes on, radiate its perpetual influence of charity among men, to cruel superstitions and freedom shall only be a humiliating memory and record of forgetfulness; because, The poor oppressed, honest man, Had never sure been born.

In the course of an interview with a "Liverpool Daily Post" representative, gave some interest, particulars with regard to the capture of the "Appam." A Prussian of fice saw that I was wearing a Masonic charm, he said, and remarked "your are a brother of mine." Preting at the same time that I did not know what he meant, he tackle me on Massoury. He was quite satisfied, and I took him through the thirty class accommodation, whereupon stated—Massoury has saved the life of the members of the "Appam," and the captured trump stammer, as I find that the captain of the "Corbridge," the captain of he "Dormbossy" and the "Trader," are brothers. You are going to be put into a port of safety, and no lives will be lost; but should we meet a British crusier we will signal "We have British prisoners of war on board," and should they show fight at hands will have to abandon the ship and the "Appam" will never go back to Liverpool, as she is a German prize ship.—Queensland Freemason.

Brown, of Marengo County, reports the following: "In the year 1917, boys of the Evening Star Community joined the first corn and pig clubs in their section. This community is located in Maren go county on a plantation formerly owned by the late Governor Thomas Seay, of Alabama, 1893-1890. One thing about these boys is that they are the sons of tenant farmers. Their ages range from 12 to 18 years. They have worked earnestly on their projects and have made rapid progress during their three years of club work During 1920 they started Bank accounts." The following is a list of the names of these boys with the amount that they have to their credit in the bank at present: Nathan Rowser, $150.00; John Glover, $25.00; Preston Rowser, $50.00; John Rowser, $50.00; Floyd Lawson $18.00; Sam Lomax, $10.00; James Rowser, $82.60; Ceasar Rowser, $75.00 Frank Walker, $17.00; Balaam Rowser, $62.00; Brett Rowser, $20.00; Houste Ash, $7.00; Columbus Rowser, $10.00; Tom Rowser, Jr., $52.00; A.

If, however, you have not already noticed it in the outcome of the election, we would respectfully direct your attention to the fact that in the contested counties in our State, he counties that were contested on the ground that republican mass conventions were called in hotels and places where none but a certain race of Republicans were customarily allowed to enter, except in the capacity of servants, which contests through the State Convention to the National Republican Convention, our votes outnumbered the votes of the "recognized" element in every such county, for instance, Pulaski, Jefferson and Hempstead. Mark you, that we would have been in position to take care of our own interests in this matter, but for the unfair treatment given in these very counties. There are several other similar cases which we will not take time to have you consider.

That in view of the formidable showing made in the last general election by the Blount organization that the Hon. U. S. Applegate, be appointed as Register in the said Land office, or some other Republican whom we will name if Mr. Applegate is not satisfactory. 4. If you do not feel that you can consistently grant the three foregoing requests, we respectfully ask that appointments of federal officers in Arkansas be held up, until there can be a re-organization of the party in this State, under the supervision of the National Republican Committee. "We respectfully submit that it is not ours to raise the race or color question in the Republican party in this State or nation, but it has been raised on us and we are simply thrown on the defensive, and we are taking the only position that would be assumed under the circumstances by any self-respecting American citizens and taxpayers that always support the Republican party. When you recognize the recommendations of the Remel committee, you logically commit the Republican party of the nation to the policy of open discrimination on ground, of "race, color or previous condition of servitude."
