Because some vicious men of the

down in Georgia. one Davis. an Afro
American preacher of Atlanta. scored
his entire race in sermon last sun

'.The tactics and procedure of the
new Negro are destroying him. His
reckless disregard for moral purity,
disposition to ignore the church and
the gospel, a love for life OF ease

were true it would be small business
for an Afro American to call the atten-

HOWARD UNIVERSITY,

Howard University seems TO be in a
particularly bad fix. The trouble
seems to have originated from efforts
put forth to ''industriaiiZe" the lnstl-
tuition. in conformity with the theory
that the American can dispense
with higher education and needs sim
ply to learn how to hoe cotton and
cobble shoes. The Afro-American has
investigated that theory and hnds
that it involves dispensing with his
colleges and high schools, churcheS,
societies. banks, stores, newspapers
that it throws him out OF the civil
Service, that it even invades his home
and depriyes him of his organ, mandor
lin and piano. The conclusion is that
the industrial in conjunction with lit
erary training is a good thing; but as
a substitute for it, is a monumental
failure. Now the Afro-American IS
perfectly aware that he is not depend
ent upon the Jim Grow crowd for
higher education-he can get it with
out their assistance and even IN race
of their opposition.
OF course it has been of great ad
vantage to him that there have been
DuDflC SCnOOlS III Tue oOut1i, D.'I IN
would have educational advantages II
not one such system were in exist
ence; because the vast body OF lntelll-
gent voters know that illiteracy is the
most determined enemy of our system
of government So the educative pro-
cess will go on in spite of all the Jim
Grow kickers can do and they might
as we'll cool off. go way back ana
scrape the mould off from their hides.
The Afro-American is represented
in all the famous schools OF science
and art in the world-he is studying
in London and Paris and Vienna; in
Berlin. Heidelberg and Bonn; in Har-
ward and Yale: in the Canadian uni
yersities. He has sense enough to
know good thing when he sees lC
and if he cannot get what ne wants
in one SHOOT he will go to another.
The attempt to saw Howard Uni
versity down to an industrial lnstltu-
ton must be construed as an EFFORT
to eliminate the Afro-American from
the PROFESSIONALLY, medicine and
theology; from the Civil Service. AS
such it ought to be strenuously oppos-
ed by every intelligent man, white as
we'll as Afro-American; and President
Gordon ought to be presented with
hari-kari sword. 1t is not likely; that
he has the high Japanese training
which would impel him to use 1t but
it might suggest the rropriety OF trek
ing back to Iowa.

JERRY W. MAY. COLORED, WENT

NEVER MISSES REUNIONS-HOW
HE GOT "OLD MISSIS" A
PENSION

HE GOT "OLD MISSIS" A
PENSION.
An interesting figure at Georgia
headquarters yesterday was Jerry w.
May. who has the distinction of being
one of the few Negroes who fought
during the Civil War in the Confed-
crate army. Jerry is a mail carrier at
Macon. and has been in the service
for over 20 years. Each year, when
the time for the Confederate reunion
rolls around Jerry. asks for his vaca-
ton and accompanies Camp Smith to
the rendezvous of the old COnfeds.
This is the fourteenth reunion he has
attended, and as he is apparently in
good health he will probably attend
more OF them.
During the war he was the body
servant of William Wynn Of Georgia,
who enlisted and served throughout
the long contest as private. His
master was q member of the Seventh
Georgia regiment of Harrison's bri-
gade. Whenever he had the oppor-
tunity the Negro ''borrowed" a mus
ket, as he expresses it, when he tells
it now, and joined in the fight
After the war his master. who had
lost everything he possessed by the
rayages of the Federal army, moved
to Prescott, Ark. leaving Jerry in Ma
con. A few years later he died and
his widow was left alone with nothing
on which she might rely for sup
port.
Jerry began the task Of securing a
nension for his ''Old miSSiS," and after
several years of hard work he was sue
cessful- Through his efforts she was
enabled to live comfortably.
This article was written and pub
lished in the write ups of the great
annual reunion in Louisville. KY. of
the organization known as the UNIT
ed Confederate Veterans, an organ
ization which has for it's object the
clarifying of treason, and one of a
character which would not be toler-
ated in any other country but this.
