of the Southern States. In the West

upon their declaration of becoming

gone so far as to agitate and pass

Negroes who own land in their midst,
but with the present racial and DO
litical unrest We may rest assured
that the day is not far when the
South will be agitating the same
laws which the West is now agi-
tating. The best white friends of
the Negro in the South advise him to
buy land and stay out Of politics,
but the country is now undergoing a
radical change, the Negroes friends
become fewer and fewer both in the
North and in the South; the Pro

declared valid by the Supreme Court,
you may look for the South to take
the initiative in framing laws for
their protection similar to those in op-

from the Negro, notwithstanding that
it is an open violation of the consti-

use every resource at their command

NEGROES PRAYERS AND READY
CASH REOPEN THIS BANK.
Neqroes Raise $4,000 to Restore

Negroes Raise $4,000 to Restore
Closed Banks Credit.
Prayers were said in every Negro
church in the city Sunday that the
Peoples Eank and Trust Company,
the only Negro bank in the city,
which closed its doors Saturday
after run, might reopen. On their
Bonded knees the Negroes implored
that the pride, credit and substan-
liability" of their race might be
saved. The stricken bank was the
subject Of the sermon of every col
ored preacher Confidence in the
people of their own color was the
text of their sermons.
And tomorrow morning the Peoples
Bank and Trust company, well forti-
fed with cash and gilt-edge securi-
ties, will again open 1t doors. 1t
will be a much better and stronger
bank than it was when the run be-
gan.

ever, made up Of men Of much diff

line In his hand he carried a bag
(which contained $4,000 in cash. He
wished to deposit 1t in the bank. An

tanned $4,000. Others had smaller
amounts, all in cash. A deposit Of
$4,000 came by wire. None of the
deposits were accepted as the bank
was closed, They will all, however,
