Many Afro-Americans bring. Sights
upon themselves. by accepting with
out protest when they could easily
avoid doing SO. The man who rides
through the country in Jim Crow
car is absolutely compelled, in most
instances, to do so: but the one who
accepts such treatment in a theater
or hall, is not. He consents to his
own degradation, for the sake OF a
little enjoyment, if such it be. 1t is
time for Afro-Americans to refrain
from patronizing stores and theatera
which do not afford them decent ac'
commOdatiOns.

A Georgia journal boasts that that
state has 'Jhe best disfranc hisement
law in existence: one that is auto
matte and progressive, absolutely de-
priving over four-tifths Of the Afro
American male adults of the right to
cast ballot in any kind of an cleo
rion.' 1t will be observed that the
Georgia law makes no distinction be-
tween intelligence and ignorance: but
is based entirely on the color line.

The Chicago Tribune says

eve do not wish any Of our fellow
citizens, however misguided they may
be, to be shot down because. they are
attempting by force to maintain what

But the fact is that when our fellow
citizens become so misguided that
they consider t~their right to shoot
down other folks. something must be
done And should those misguided
citizens attack the Tribune office,
something would be done.

 C1emency was recommended yester- day by Judge W. H. Thomas of the Montgomery City Court, Solicitor s. H. Dent and Sheriff w. R. Waller. The Board of Pardons also unanimously joined in the recommendation.
 The Governors words in the cases are as follows:
 These three women were seriously burned in the Montgomery jail re- gently. A pardon for them is asked by the trial Judge and Solicitor and the Sheriff of Montgomery County. The Board of Pardons unanimously advise clemency, believing that they have already been very seriously punished.

MT. TyoOns
 A two-story, sixteen room negro tenement house. owned by J. C. Tyson. and located near the corner of Decatur and Grove Streets. was partially de- stroyed by a fire at 7:45 o'clock yester- day morning.
 The second story of the building was completely destroyed, and the ground floor was flooded with water. The fire had done its work by the time some one turned in an alarm from box 51. which hurriedly sent the fire depart ment to the scene.
 The fire originated from an unknown cause in the rear of the second floor of the house. The occupants, numbering probably fifteen families. succeeded in saving practically all their furniture. The damage to the house Is estimated approximately at $1,500. on which Mir. Tyson carried ample insurance.

DECEMBER WEATHER.
Comparative Figures for Several
 Years,

Years.
 The impression seems to prevail that this month has been an unusually cold one for this section. This feeling Is evidently engeudered by the fact that the month has, as a whole, been cloudy. rainy and generally unpleasant.
 The official record of the temperature, as kept by the local office of the Weather Bureau shows that, while the temperature for this December has averaged slightly below normal. there has been no extremely cold weather. The lowest temperature was 25 degrees on the 9th. There were but seven days with temperature of g degrees or less. and on four days 1t was 50 degrees or more.
 The following statement. taken from the records of the local office of the Weather Bureau, show very conclusive ly that this December has been com paratively mild in this section:
