the census bureau, subdivided as fol-
lows: White, 1,431 1886; negro, 1.176,-
9S7; all others. 31S. including Indians,

There are 1850 white persons in

with II Indians, Chinese, Japanese.
etc. The negro population constitutes
1875 per cent. OF the whole as against
1913 per cent in 1900 ard 42.9 per
cent in 1890. 1t is therefore apparent
that the white population of the city
is fast outstripping that of the negro.
The rate of increase in. the white pop
ulation from 1900 to 1910 more than
doubled that for the increasing decade,
the increase being, respectively, 4S,fO
or 902 per cent, as against 1854
or 44.6 per cent. The increase In the
negro population since 1900 has like
wise been considerable. namely, 1919

The gambling habit is far too preya-
ent in this city. Those gamblers who
frequent dives in certain sections of
the city are always on the lookout for
innocent prey. These gamblers make
up our criminal class and the police
should run them out of the city or put
them to work on the farm--Savannah

What is an Ethiopian? The New
York Sun says:
Has a nation the right to select its
own official name? This novel point
is raised by son of Ras Makonnen.
the famous general and nephew or
the late King Menelik Writing to a
French official this younger chieftain
plaintively protests against the be-
stowal of the name of Abyssinia
upon his country. This undesired ap-
pellation. he charges, was foisted
upon his fatherland by the Arabs. For
him, for all his countrymen, the ma
ton is Ethiopia, and next to its COM
plete independence its patriotic citi-
zens ask only that Abyssinia shall be-
come Ethiopia in the Biographies of
the world.
We once had a talk with a well-in-
formed man who spent some time in
Abyssinia who said that the Abyssin-
ians were highly sensitive on the
question of their race, and regarded 1t
as an insult to be>styled negroes or
Africans. And yet, 1t is stated by
Biblical authorities that they are de-
scendants of Cush, one of the sons of
Ham, the alleged father of the African
races.
Perhaps Ras Makonnen is correct,
as the Ethiopians were an older peo-
pie than the Africans, and were alb
sorbed or destroyed by the latter, as
the Mizraimites of Ham in Egype
were absorbed or destroyed by the
shepherd races of Shem.
1t is highly probable that the al
legged Abyssinians are the only rem
nants of the ancient Ethiopians who
were absorbed or destroyed by the
Mizraimites of Ham, who overspread
Africa as well as Asia

The southern states raised 15,000.-

one-half being engaged in cotton rails
ing OF course improved methods of
much to do with it, but the fact re-
mains that free labor is more product
i've than slave labor; and the lie that
the free negro would not work has
been knocked down and stunned
every year since 1855 by the indus
trial statistics OF the southern states,
that do not lie, which show a product
ivity most marvellous in the history
of mankind.-New York Age.

H. Rider Haggard, the popular Eng
lsh novelist, and equally brilliant but
less known soclologist, predicts the
destruction of the white race unless
there is a pronounced impetus given
to the back to the land movement"
City life, he thinks. is gradually sap
ping the virtue and virility of the
white race, and this fiocking to ne
cities is the forerunner of racial dis
aster. This is a danger In compar-
ison with which the yellow peril"
and the "black peril are mere fig
ments of heated Imagination. We
are glad to note that the prophets
are beginning to take note of some
race other than the negro. They

long that a change is refreshing to
ay the least-Dallas Express.

The population of other Georgia

A year from now the negroes of this
country-ten millions of them
should celebrate their fiftieth anniver-
sary as freemen. What is being done
preparatory to this memorable occa-
ion? Comparatively nothing whatever.
After congress failed to act upon the
proposed national emancipation cele-
bration the leaders assumed quies-
cent state that left no room for doubt
as to how they proposed to act. 'Tis
true the Negro Business league has
committee somewhere. but where and
what they are about is not discover
able.
1t is high time that the matter of
nationwide observance, so far as
the negro race is concerned, be con-
idered In lieu of the absence of a
national organization, great fraternal
orders and religious bodies of the race
hould prepare to hold such a celebra-
ion as they deem befitting, without
reference to others. We suggest that
our general conference provide con-
nectional celebration and utilize it to
he promotion of the great cause of
ace evangelization and denomination
4 luplift.
This would not preclude co-opera-
ion active and enthusiastic with
ny national racial exposition, etc,
hat may be conducted. Since Major
Wright of Georgia seems to have the
biggest fair and exposition among ne
Sroes, why not turn his annual gather
ng into big Emancipation exposi-
tion?
If not well to hold it at Macon then
elsewhere, meanwhile the negroes of
the individual ex-slave states should
hold state celebrations Fifty years
of freedom should at least make us
caapble to honor the man and the
event. Abraham Lincoln and the eman-
cipation of 100000 slaves should not
be forgotten by those who gained
most. Let us celebrate. The race
press should take up the call.

In discussing the negro domestic
servant editorially, few days ago.
under the head of "a Negro Monop-
oily" the Houston Post, among many
good things said, made the following
timely statement:
Character, cleanliness, intelligence,
reliability, honesty and efficiency
would guarantee to the negroes for
all time a monopoly of this most i'm
portant field of labor" The editor
then asks this question: "Why do not
the negro leaders stress this import
ant truth upon the minds of the negro
masses?"
While we certainly appreciate the
advice given In the editorial, and
stress particularly the statement
above quoted, yet, We wish to remind
the editor of the fact that the strong
est and most effective leaders Of the
race are doing just what he says they
should do, both with tongue and pen.
DR. Booker T. Washington is the
greatest of all leaders of the race, and
the idea stressed most of all in the
message he delivered to the negroes
of this city not long ago, which mes
sage was given in the columns of the
Houston Post, was that the negro
should prepare to give intelligent, eff
ficient service in Industrial and do
nestle arts. Others are telling the
same story.

CO., WILL
ADOPT THE CASH SYSTEM

We have adopted the Cash System
at our store. The laws of our State
protect the person who wants to beat
his grocer, and discriminate against
the merchant. Under this system the
good customers have to pay for the
debts of the bad ones. There are a
number of people about the country
who beat the grocers, in spite of all
they can do. They put up plausible
story and get credit and do not pay,
In the long run the good, steady pay
ing customer has to pay for these bad
debts, for they are an expense of the
business. 1t is, therefore fair to ALL to
sell only for cash We will do business,
in future on strict cash basis We
will be able to sell you groceries at
closer prices, for we will get pay for
all we sell We appreciate the trade
of all our customers, and are doing this
to protect them as well as ourselves.
When you get accustomed to the new
system, we know you will like ii.
Respectfully,
Carn-Thomas Company.
