Not many weeks ago the tactics Of
the whites became so noticeable that a

misgivings concerning the progress of

enterprise Is proving the Afro-Ameri-

Since no combined effort along the
line Of securing advertising matter has
been attempted in the past the execu-

ripe for such movement. The great
