SAVAGE GEORGIA WHITES.


The Atlanta Constitution has for
years filled it's columns with false
stories of the lawlessness of the
colored people and has caused the
lynching of many innocent men and
women. .... '
The Constitution now comes for
ward with a true story of white
savagery, which is so remarkable that
we reprint it in full. .., go
The strangest part of this strange
tale is that 1t is not a fictional story
Of the remnants of primeval race in
strange and distant land, spun, per.
haps, by the weird fancy of Jack
London, but that it happened in the
civilized land of Georgia. It is the
experience Of Robert S. McCord, Of
the Georgia Children's Home Society,
as told by himself. s4a
He brought to Atlanta the other day
from the hills of Floyd county four
small children-the youngest AZ and
the eldest years, and he placed in
public hospital another suffering
from sciatic. rheumatism and the. loss
Of toe.
This is the story:
There came to Mr.. McCord reports
OF two mothers and five children liv-
ing in destitution verging upon saw
agery in an unfrequented section of
Floyd county. With the sheriff of
Floyd county Mr.. McCord went to in.
vestigate.
Back up in the hills they found the
home-a crude arrangement Of tat
tered tent cloth, logs, and mud, built
by the hands of the two mothers who
lived there with their brood Of five.
The older Of the mothers was just
In the prime of her years, but already
bent with the toll of lifetime. The
Younger was only 16 years, her child
being about years old.
The children, clad in meage,
stretches Of cloth, skittered, like chip
n1unks, in and out OF the gaping hole.
Of the improvised structure. Theil
mothers squatted near an open fir,
burning several feet distant from til,
hut under battered tin boiler ii
which all their food was cooked.

No adverse legislation was passed
by the Congress just ended, but this
does not mean that the fight is over.
1t will be introduced in the next Con.
gress and in the meantime some of
the states will try to put some i'm
crow stuff over. Colored people
should be ready everywhere in the
country to fight proscriptive legisla-
tion. Eternal vigilance is the price

A bill prohibiting the giving of tips
on sleeping and parlor cars, has passed
the Missouri senate. AS the porters
on sleeping and parlor cars are all col

that particular class of people. If the

should make the, bill include tips ev-
erywhere. We hope it will not be-

A ray Of hope comes from Butte,

MINNEsOTA's PROTEST,

Prior to the adjournment of Con.
gress, the Saint Paul Branch of the
National Independent Equal Rights
League, through it's president, sent
letters to Minnesota's Senators, Knute
Nelson and Moses E. Clapp, protesting
against the enactment of jimcrow laws
and asking their aid in preventing the
passage of adverse legislation of any
kind, especially the bills affecting the
District of Columbia, one of which had
already passed the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
Since the adjournment of Congress,
the following letters have been received
and they speak for themselves as to
the stand of our Senators in regard to
such legislation:
Washington, D. c., March, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Adams: Your letter to
hand in due time. Congress has ad-
journed and the legislation to which
you refer has failed to pass either
house Of Congress and I do not believe
that such legislation is likely to pass
in the future.
Your truly,
knute Nelson.
Washington, D. c., March, 1915.
Dear Mr.. Adams: Yours at hand.
There is no danger of any adverse leg
islation. There was very little danger
of any legislation relative to the Dis.
trict, because Senator Jones is a mem.
Der Of the District Committee and he
is one of the most loyal of friends.
I think there will be no trouble next
session. At all events, you may de-
pend upon it that before they get any
adverse legislation they will realize
they have encountered some apposi-
tion. &E3 .N.1
With regards, am cordially yours,
Moses e. cIapp.
