characteristics of the native Souther-
ner, makes him act and act quickly.
In 1907 our Legislature had the
Prohibition bill before it, and they
did what they wanted to do and what
they were sent to do. In 1908, while
they were not sent instructed to in
vestigate the Convict Lease system, it
was brought before them and they
changed the law some and made some
restrictions, not wholly satisfactory,
but an improvement on the old sys-
tenn. Now, in the name Of Georgia,
and on behalf of our poor little chill
dren Of the rural districts, let us
arouse ourselves and see that the tax
is so divided that the tax paid by the
negroes will be applied to their edu-
cation and our tax applied to educa-
ton of our white children. There
can be nothing unconstitutional in
this. We render unto the negro what
is the negroes, and in what way do
we wrong him? We save a few good
field hands, cooks and nurses, for edu-
cation does but little for them but to

to blush, when we know that in some
Of our rural districts, school is held
but five or six months, and not half
Of the children get to attend because
they have to work in the farms on
account of the vagrant negroes that
are allowed to loaf in the cities? Do
we not know that many Of the country
teachers have not been farther in
arithmetic than fractions, and yet
they are the best we can get with the
poor remuneration and long time in
paying that? 1t is a shame that such
conditions exist in a State so blessed
of God, a State rich in commerce,
manufacturing, mining, farming, and
traversed by great railroads, that our
rural schools should be cut off in
length of time and proper equipment,
and supplied with inefficient teachers

Of day. How long can this state of
affairs exist? Can we not find
Calvin, who championed the vagrant
law and put it through, who will
make himself immortal in Georgia for
correcting this evil? Let our next
Legislature correct it and let it go
down in history as being the body
who made history for Georgia like the
Legislature that put whiskey out.
There was time when every negro
preacher in the land announced from
his pulpit, on what side of the ques-
ton that concerned the negro, our
Legislators voted, and these preach
ers and negro leaders instructed the
negroes how to vote. [ can see in
this the cause for some of the weak
kneed legislators, under those circum-
stances, to vote against the bill to
divide the tax Of the negroes and
whites and apply it for educational
purposes respectively. This is con-
stitutional It doesn't hurt the ne
gro, but makes better citizen Of
him. It is an incentive for him to
accumulate property, and we all know
that the negro who owns property is
a law-abiding citizen and that he is
far more desirable as a citizen than
the one who is trying to educate.
There is a greater danger yet: We
are permitting our white children in
the rural districts to grow up in ig-
norance and the time will come and
is not far distant, when they will
find themselves incompetent to vote,
while the negroes are leaving no stone
unturned to educate. When this
state Of affairs exists, what good
will the disfranchisement law, that
we spent so much time and energy
to pass, do us, except to exempt our
poor, illiterate whites from voting,
thereby doing away with white su-
premacy and taking the government
out of the hands of the pure eau
casians and making a state of affairs
horrible to contemplate. Why not
take hold of this situation in time
and not wait till we have it thrust
upon us after irreparable harm is
done that will take years and years to
undo?

forth, that the North would send mon

>l----------J should become more "hu-
manized" in the future, rather than
uvci sexed," as was too often the
case in the past. To accomplish this,
l.elc must be a breaking up Of the
old, materialistic standards and
kindlier philosophy all around. Our
nelghbors are just exactly as interest
ing as the characters in the latest
novel over which we pore, if only we
approached them in the same mental
way-appreciating the varied moods
and motives by which they are
swayed, viewing them as human souls
OF tremendous Importance, instead
OF combining ourselves to criticism,
generally thoughtless, and frequently
harsh and unjust, Of their trivial out
ward acts, and being impressed for
ever by what they have to the extinc-
ton of what they are. What a vast
ly brighter place this old country
would be if we included each other in
an honest, generous well-wishing, in
stead Of literally excluding everybody
from true fellowship by that sharp
outlook for flaws and cold indiffer-
ence to sterling qualities, that is too
characteristic Of lots of people in
their estimate of those in their imme-
date vicinity.
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw strongly
emphasizes the inestimable value to
women of the cooperative spirit that
manifests itself in organization.
There are societies Of all degrees of
value, Of course, but she maintains
that in our present need of the Coop
erative spirit that will eliminate for
ever narrow and bigoted views and
petty selfshness and jealousy, any
kind of club is better than none at
all. We need to come into close hui
man touch with each other as often
and through as many sources as pos
sible. We need to uproot those I'M
enviable attributes disrespectfully
termed womanish, in favor of a
broad, sane, normal womanliness.
Isolation is one Of the greatest
perhaps the only really great-draw-
back to country life. In nearly every
other respect, certainly Of health and
beauty, it is superior to anything that
cities and towns can boast. But the
woman in the rural districts has an
impulse to visit a friend-but there
is some difficulty in the way, so the
idea is abandoned, to the loss Of both
herself and her friend of refresh
ing hour Of companionship. She has
a good, timely thought, but there is
no fellow-spirit with whom to share
it then, and it is submerged in the
commonplace. She would like to write
down something she knows at first

but there is no definite purpose, to
which the sketch could be applied, so
