Atlanta, Ga, July 17.-The Ne
groes of Georgia are a thrifty people.
They are always on the hunt for,.
property, education and every othar
good thing. They fight and love each
other but seem to get there just the
same. When the time for united
! action arrives, they are sure to- gat
together in order to see that the
right thing Is done at the right time.
They are always active in the sum
mer time and particularly In the
month Of July. The grand lodges
meet about that time and the poltti->
cal groups get together for good or
evil The political activities oil: ;tHs
Negroes Of Georgia are mainly csfkA&
tered in this lodge and church con-.

Last Thursday night the Pythians
concluded their annual session at
Macon, Ga. The entire ticket Of the
, administration was elected, in the
face Of the opposition OF Ben Davis
and his. same old crowd of pirates"
The man from Dawson" went down
to defeat, still fighting the ghost Of
the lamented Charlie CresWelI and
crying out in agony because of his
continued failure to wreck the order
in Georgia or get his hands on the
treasury.
The courts Of Georgia have under
taken new method Of dealing with
criminal Negro boys. Any Negro
farmer who Is we'll recommended
may have number OF these lads on
trial. He is to take them and work
them and teach them at his. own ex-
pense with the end in view OF re-
forming. the boys. ~ He must report
regularly regarding the progress and
care -of-the- lads ef-the -pffvffege- -ef
keeping the boys will be taken grom
! the farmer.
Rev. James Griswold, OF Coweta
county, was the first to avail himself
Of the privilege. He is a prosperous
planter and minister and has about
six Of the boys on his plantation
teaching what they will absorb OF the
practical phases Of agricultural life.
In connection with Mrs. Alice Dug
ged Cary of Morris Brown College,
Mr.. Griswold is making a greater
effort just now than any one in Ca.
for the establishment Of reformator-
les for Negro boys. .
Prof. Hardy l.. Keith Of Nashville.
Tenn. and Miss Emma L. Reid OF
Newman, Ga, were married at high
noon on Sunday, July 10th. The
wedding was at the home OF the bride
In Newman. No cards were Issued
and the members and most intimate
friends Of the families alone were
present.
Miss Reid is the youngest daughter
Of one Of the best and most prospect
Gus families Of northern Georgia.
She was educated at Barber Seminary
and Clark University and Is one Of
the most active and able Of the young
church and school women workers
in her section.
Mr.. and Mrs. Keith will spend the
most or the summer IN Georgia with
relatives and friends and go to Nash
vile the latter part Of August.
The Negroes of Atlanta have been
in a state Of excitement during tho
past few weeks over the killing Of
several Of the women Of the race.
The criminal has not yet been caught
but the colored people are manifest
ing unusual activity by conducting
prayer and resolution meetings. Ev-
cry church, denomination and creed
seems to be getting in the lime light.
1t is hard to tell just where the thing
W ho, nj. l..
ready decided along with the white
folks that the one committing the
| the deeds is a Negro, before the GRIM
Iinal has either been caught or seen
| or any evidence has been produced
to prove that Negro Is to be held
responsible for the killing OF so many
Of the women Of his race. They are
chasing around signing petitions and
| resolutions like lot Of wild geese
pursued by hungry Jew
Dr.. w. r. Vernon may have his
nose and his toes pointed toward the
presidency Of Morris Brown College
| and he may not. The Negroes OF
| this state are looking toward him i'm
| an eager manner. Tt would b9 d
come down for him unless he intends
keeping up his still hunt for the
| toga Of bishop In the great A. M.
| f. Church. In such an event, 1t
would be easier for him as 1t is q
better road from a college presidency
to bishops seat than from q govern
ment lob Of any kind to the same
position.
IF Georgia man is chosen" to 1n
the shoes Of DR.. Lee, the honor will
