Anent the story circulated to the ef-

son, recorder of deeds for the District
of Columbia, was opposed to the par
ticipation of the race in politics is
stoutly- denied by Mr.. johnson. 1t is
well known that he is one of the lead

for the advancement of the race along
all profitable lines in education, bust

AS a member of the Grand United

as man of more than ordinary execu-

that the primary mission of the Re.
publican party was one of emancipa-

bodily emancipation of the colored race
under the final decree signed by Mr..
Lincoln in his emancipation proclama-
ton: that the Republican party In
Georgia must now address itself to
the emancipation of the white people
in Georgia from their seemingly in
exorable mental and moral bondage:
that Providence had especially and
munificenty endowed the state OF
Georgia with those natural resources
the development of which would be
best conserved under economic poll
cies.
THE fact that fourteen colored men
and one woman had been lynched In
our native state in the past nine
months was proof positive of the men

people in Georgia who control the
state and that its only hope for dis
enthralment lay in the beneficent poll
