DON'T LIKE THE NIGGER.


Atlanta, Ga, March 14--The Georgia
Woman's Press Club will withdraw
its membership from the General Fed
eration Of Women's Clubs for the rea,
son that the federation has just ad-
mitted to membership three press clubs
made up Of negro women from Indiana
and Illinois.
This was decided by the governing
board OF the club yesterday. Miss
BrecS, president OF the Georgia Club,
opened up a correspondence with the
officers of the Federation. She main.
tanned that the members of the Geor.
gia Women's Press Club were not
ready yet to belong to a club that
admitted negroes as their social equals
The Northern women maintained that
it was not admitting them as socia,
equals but as fellow workers. A spir-
tied correspondence was followed ur
between the two factions, the Southern
women claiming that while they were
glad to see the negroes advancing
they could not afford to associate witt
them and admit them as equals in the
came clubs.
