was one of the best characterlzations,

The meeting of the Peoples Church

by several Afro-Americans who went to
hear the the address by Mr.. c. H..
FAuntleroy, subject, The Negro Slave
and Free, as Affecting American So
ciety." lie gave very fair presentation
of the case from white mans point of
view, and those who followed in the dis
cussion each spoke fairly on the subject.
Mr.. w. A, Hazel was the only Afro
American who had anything to say, and
what he said was to the point. He how
ever. was cut short by the call of time
before he had entered into the spirit of
argument. Mr.. Fauntleroy made one
assertion which cannot be allowed to 90
without contradiction, as the statement
is SO glaringly false, that he must be
woefully ignorant on that point. He
said in substance that all the mulattoes
born in the South were born of black
mothers and white fathers. Never
otherwise" Everyone who knows and
will admit the truth, knows that there
are to-day many thousands Of muattoe
children in the South whose mothers are
white. Many of then were born in
wedlock, but more are illegitimate, as
indiscriminate cohabitation has been
going on there ever since 1920. The as
sertion of Mr.. Fauntleroy was entirely
uncalled for and equally false.
