GEORGIA FARMERS ASSEMBLE
PRESIDENT BROWN DISCUSSES
THE WHITE MAY AND NEGRO.
The Races Must Separate, and We
Must QUIT TOadying to South Ha-
ters. Many Able Speeches.


The Georgia State Agricultural So
ciety convened at Quitman last week.
The convention was formally opened
by President Pope Brown.
The race question came to the front
al once, and President Brown made an
ntterance which will wake up the
country. His assertions that the
white man and the negro are at the
parting of the ways and we should aid
and abet the negro in his efforts to
leave US were loudly applauded.
In this connection he was also bold
and unequivocal in declaring that the
south should stop toadying to the
north.
Mr.. Brown said IN part; alt is be-
tween the white people of the south
and the negroes of the south. The
south haters of the north are at the
bottom of all the trouble, and we need
not fatter ourselves that those south
haters are few and far between. There
are plenty of them. In my opinion,
the majority of them have no use for
US except when they think they are
making something out of us. L think
it is time we were letting them alone.
Quit running after them. Then quit
toadying to them. The small polti-
Clan also causes friction between the
races. By submitting every question
county, municipal and state, to white
primary this trouble would be averted
and better government would be se>
cured in all cases.
1.-THE leaders of the negro race are
preaching discomfort, and whether the
scheme of colonization is practical or
not | am not prepared to say, but | do
believe that it is to the interest Of the
people in the south TO aid and abet the
negro in his efforts to leave US. A few
days ago when certain prominent citl>
zens were called on by the press to say
how We should protect our famili es
spouse that seemed to meet the approval
of the press. 1t was this: "Make a
miniature arsenal of every country
home l say if it has to cone to that
it is time for the par ing of the ways
Shall Ee part in peace or in strife?
would say peace, and let US stand not
upon the ST."
This speech was followed by Hon. A.
D. Tompkins OF North Carolina, R. w.
Everett and others. The feature of the
afternoon was the speech Of Hon. Hoke
Smith, who made an earnest and elo-
quent appeal for normal training in the
common schools. He was freely APP
plauded.

OF POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS on cANDI-
DATES FOR JUDICIAL OFFICE.
The City Club has taken a deep interest in
the investigation by the Mazet committee. and
has decided to give to the committee the aid and
support which 1t can properly give. Wheeler H.
Peckham. the newly elected president Of the
club. said yesterday that the club intended to
collect material bearing upon some Of the points
covered by the investigation. and bring to the
attention Of the public as forciby as possible
the abuses which should be prevented by legis-
lation The City Club desires the investigation
to be continued on lines which will permit the
formulation of measures for. the removal OF
abuses already disclosed In part by the testi-
mony
At present the City Club is interested particu-
larly in the evidence which has shown how some
candidates for public office are compelled TO pay
assessments to party organizations. Officers OF
the club have urged upon the Mazet committee
and its counsel the wisdom of calling some OF
the Justices of the Supreme Court as witnesses
and ascertanng II they would approve leg,sia,
ton for the protection OF candidates for )udclal
Offices by making the levying or paying or as
sessments for political purposes crime
The Legislation Committee OF the CLUB mas
prepared the draft of a bill to make the solicita
ton OF a political assessment from candidate
for judicial Office felony, and also making the
act of contributing money to political organi-
cation by candidate Tor Judlclal oInce Ielon!'
The Chamber OF Commerce. the Bar Associa-
ton and other bodies Of citizens have been asked
to cooperate with the club in perfectng the Dill
and urging ii upon the attention OF the next
LEGISLATURE Committees OF the Chamber OF
Commerce and of the Bar Association have the
bill under consideration at present.
Interest in such a measure for the protection
Of candidates for the judiciary has been in
creased by Richard Cookers outspoken testi
mony before the Mazet committee as TO his
power TO direct judicial nominations and by the
testimony of ex-Justces DAILY and Pryor. The
City Club expects that ii will have the support
Of the best people of the city in urging legisla-
ton which will lessen the power of political
leader like Mr.. Croker over the judges.
