GEORGIA'S HOME COMING.

Atlanta the Mecca From May 18th

Thousands who once Lived in the

in the Balmy Spring Days.
Atlanta, Ga, March p, I9IO.-Did
YOU ever live in Georgia? Do you
want to go home? If so, the people
of Atlanta, under the supervision OF
the wide-awake citizens Of the city
built on seven hills, have prepared to
celebrate the Homecoming of all
Georgians. They declare that the
first and only effort on the part OF
the Negroes of the state of Georgia
centered at Atlanta will be put forth
the last week in May in celebrating
what they will term old homecoming
week, which will begin Wednesday
morning, May 25, and continue
Throughout the week. 1t seems that
the Atlanta people have caught the
spirit of the general one-fare rate for
the round trip that will be offered by
the railroads throughout the United
States which will enable the people
in the far west, northwest, east and
central portion of the United States
to make a flying trip to Georgia
many of whom have been away for
q quarter of a century. The arrange
ments for homecoming week are be-
ing carefully planned.
Atlanta will offer splendid attrac-
tions during the week. There will
lot be a dull moment, as the Sun
day School Congress will be in ses-
sion. Then, too, those who have
been away will be able to see when
they return that Atlanta has advanc-
ed along every line. The Negro
population has not diminished. 1t

creditable showing. The commercial

A CHANCE FOR REAL FREE
DOM

There are many colored families
who are living in crowded houses
on small plots of land in towns or
cities who want real freedom and
real opportunity for themselves and
for their children 1t is very difficult
to rear children in a crowded town
or city. The place to rear children
lis in the country.
In Macon County, Alabama, the
colored people have a rare and ex-
ceptional opportunity. This is the
county in which The Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute is To-
Gated. There is plenty of good land
for sale on easy terms. There is a
good schoolhouse, and the school
term lasting from seven to eight
months in every part of the county
The white people in Macon County
are of the very best class. There is
no disorder or racial trouble. We
advise colored people who are now
living in crowded towns or cities
in the North or in the South, and, es-
peCially those who have children to
raise to come to Macon County and
buy home where they can get plen-
ty of land to cultivate and rear their
families in the county free from the
temptations of the cities and towns.

Second. Because the instructions
of the Secretary of War to this court
conflict so fundamentally and totally
with my legal training as to make
it impossible for me to build an ar
gument which would attempt to prove
a negative" "
For these reasons" said Mr.. Mar
shall, q can neither argue nor can
l appeal to your merciful considera-
ton. For, in all honor, this hon
orable court is bound by the limita-
tions imposed by the authority from
which its instructions proceed.
What Record of Court Shows.
"The record of this court will show
that l offered to produce testimony
of an affirmative and positive char
acter, giving the names of the par
ticipators (persons not in the mill
tary service of the government) in
and details of an alleged conspiracy
to commit this crime.
The record of this court will also
show that no effort has been spared
to produce before this court evidence,
no matter how himsy or circumstan-
tial which might in the slightest de-
gree tend to demonstrate the guilt
of the men who formerly defended
the flag and honor of this, our COM
mon country"
The particular instructions given
by Secretary Dickinson to the court
at the outset of the investigation, to
which Mr.. Marshall took especial
exception, are as follows:
"Such conclusions as may be reach
by the court in respect to the eigl-
bilitv for re-enlistment of the for
mer enlisted men of the 25th Infan-
try, at Brownsville, who were sep
arated from the military service in
the operation of discharges without
honor. should be affirmative and pos
tive in character and based upon
such preponderance of testimony as
will support its specific finding"
No Infantryman INDICATED.
The court listened to the lawyer S
remarks without comment and ar
ranged to sit again next Monday to
hear the closing address of Captain
Rowland, which will include sum-
mary of the evidence submitted to
the court together with his conclu-
sions thereon.
1t is understood that he will claim
that the evidence showed conclusive
" that the shooting up of Browns
VILE was done by the soldiers of the
18th Infantry, and that not single
cne of the number examined had
proved afirmatively that he had not
participated in the raid or that he
ha not some knowledge of it.

The church was crowded on both
occasions. The last evenings at

the popularity of the choir and its
