VALUE OF PROPERTY
OWNED BY NEGROES

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 27.-
The American Economic Assoc
iation has estimated the value OF
property owned by Negroes in
1900 at $500, 100000 and the New
York World ventures the predlc-
ton tnat the census now taking
will show Negroes of the United
States to own property worth
S5OO,OO0,000. The economic ad-
vances made by the Negroes have
been rapid. In 1900 Georgia Ne
groes had assessed property to the
amount of S14,11S,720. This had
grown to s27, ,O42,672 a gain of 81
per cent. by 1908. In Virginia
there has been an increase from
S12,S56,57O to $25,S2S,336, or a
gain of SO per cent. In North
Carolina there was a gain of l23
per cent, or from $9,47S,399 to
S21, ,253,5S1. The Negroes of the
south have every encouragement
to be thrifty and enterprising,
Their prosperity enhances the
prosperity of the entire country.
There is a wide field of industry
open to them and relatively little
jealousy between whites and blacks
in any occupation or calling

lection of the mails and interstate
commerce. no one can tell how long
this public service corporation
woulG have been kept out of COM
mission.
Judge Galloway then shifted his
attention to other examples OF law
lessness. He attacked the laborers
who dictate to their employers and
the employers trusts, who dictate
to the laborers; the sale of whiskey
in spite of the law of prohibition
and the carrying of concealed
Weapons. All these were charged
against the state as weakness OF
government. He said the mob S
violence for action is the govern
ment's s inaction, that whatever
obedience there may be to our state
laws is wholly voluntary and not
from fear or respect of the law.
States Warned to Look Sharp to
Their office.
Comparing the efficiency OF the
state government with Federal gov
ernment the judge closed with a
warning to the states to look sharp
to their office, saying that those
who violate the laws of Congress
are hunted down with a relentless
pursuit until they are captured
and then they are. tried in a court
where the government has an even
chance with the accused, and where
numerous devices and TECHNICAL
ties for their escape have not been
provided.
Nothing has created more
thought and discussion IN this part
of the state for many years. Ihe
fact that all Judge Galloway SAID
was true make Athenians generally
and the university men especially
feel that there is high time for re-
form in Georgia.

NEGRO INFERIOR NO MORE
SAYS UNIVERSITY
TEACHER

Chicago, July 6.-Professor w.
r. Hamilton of the University of
California, lecturing before class
in sociology in the summer school
of Northwestern university at
Evanston today, declared that the
Jeffries-J Johnson prize fight proved
to some extent that the Negro no
longer belongs to an inferior race.
"The Negro has made wonderful
progress in the last fifty years, "
said Professor Hamilton, "and no
longer can be called the white
man s inferior. In art, music, lit
erature. in warfare, business and
physical development he has made
phenomenal strides. The recent
prize fight proves, to some extent,
the truthfulness of the theory that
the Negro is not an inferior race.
"There is no scientific proof to
show that the Negro sprang from
a distinct root, according to the
view of Professor Halle, the Ger
man savant, but all evidence tends
to support the theory that he Is
simply a branch of the Caucasian
race. the same as the Egyptian, the
Moor and the Hindoo.
81 believe that within 3OO years
the Negro will become extinct IN
America through the effects OF IN
termarriage and climate condl-
tions."

1t is time that our people were

The genius of plain talk is let loose
--apd everywhere the sons OF the

grown rather thoughtful. Her
latest appearance or thrust-in was

existence of mob law in the North
and West does not make 1t less
heinous in the South. In Georgia
only one murderer out OF every
hundred is punished. In the
course of twelve months she (Geor-
gia) records forty-five more homl-

After giving his audience a mo-

compliments to Georgia by saying;

am afraid Georgia might show an
,,nenviable rank in the list. Mob
1,;olenoa has become such frenquent

when an outbreak of mob violence

cease to shock, and the newspapers
which do not apologize for the mop
boldly approve of its actions.
