DIR. Vernon has served as presi-
dent of Campbell College for sew
eral years. He served as register
of the treasury under President
Roosevelt's administration.
The ceremony had several hu-
morous aspects. The efigy of
Bishop Connor was a notable fat
and portly body. clad in silk hat
and frock coat, The figure was
placed OF the end of pole, and,
after being carried around through
the crowd was set on fire.
Lengthy resolutions were adopt
ed denouncing Bishop Connor, and
declaring that his hostility to DIR.
Vernon was actuated by jealously,
spite and malace.
Nearly one hundred white peo-
pie, attracted to the scene by the
angry shouts and passionate
speeches. witnessed the ceremony.
Diamond Cox presided as chair
man of the meeting, with A. j.
Wade as secretary. The principal
speaker was P. w. Howard, who
wrote the resolutions denouncing
Bishop Connor.
DR.. Vernon is unquestionably
popular among the colored people
of jackson. and when the college
board failed to re-elect him to the
presidency much surprise and
astonishment was caused, culmin-
ating in the mass meeting.
One thing is quite certain re-
garding the affair. Bishop Connor
may hold the whip hand, but it
would probably be rather unsafe
for him to come to jackson and
try to use it.
DIR. Vernon was defeated for re-
election to the presidency of Camp
bell by vote of II to 10. Bishop
Connor appoints fifteen of the
twenty-five members of the board
of trustees, and his oppon-
ents declare that he stacked the

could not get good assignments

She declared that they were uni

Rooseveltism, that: "The law of

From out that vastness of time
through which history has pain

us of the Rise and Falls of nations,
races and individuals. In the last
analyses of the text we find the in
telligent world concurring in the

Therefore in the light of these
things may we not say that the
history of our citizenry is cast
along tie very same lines, and if
we, in the words of the poet, shall
be up and doing, with a heart for
any fate, still achieveing, still pur-
suing, laboring as well as waiting,
our fate in success and achieve

who gave to the confederacy the
heroes of that cause taught the
black man and his children the
gospel of Christ, and their first les
son in family unity and the care
of the home
For fifty years these lessons have
borne fruit in the best element of
southern Negroes; borne fruit in
the care the Negro nurse has given
the white child; in the service he
has rendered in the home and the
field, and it is these same lessons
which have been handed down as
the basic knowledge upon which
the Negro of to-day has builded
his first racial standards.
If this medium is suddenly cut
off from the Negro by law. from
what source can we expect his al
legiance or fidelity to be continued ?
What help can we be to him as
the domestic servant, the intelli-
gent field laborer, the skilful arti-
san or the law-abiding citizen il
the white man is no longer allow
ed to impart his message to the
Negro through the medium of the
teacher and the school?
Some of our people have fought
the idea of higher education for
Negroes, or the tIaining that
would equip him to teach his own
race. But now if the white man
can no longer direct or teach the
Negro even along prescribed lines,
how can a harmonious under
standing between the races con.
tinue or even exist?
How can the churches continue
their praiseworthy work of teach
ing the Negroes if the white teach
ers are prohibited from approach
ing them?
How can we hope to better the
conditions of the Negroes or help
them to help themselves if our on
ly legal mode of direction would
be through the criminal courts,
the jails and the convict camps?
The general assembly should
weigh well the principle involved
in the proposed law as well as its
literal Interpretation. There is
more than the educational or rae
ial disadvantages of the Negro con-
cerned the states attitude toward
civilization and humanity~is invol-
we'd. If Georgia enacts such law
she places herself in the attitude
of repuLlating every form of mis-
sion work in home or foreign fields.
Let US hope that we have al
ready heard the last of this unjust
aud ungenerous measue.

AN UNJUST MEASURE

(Editarial Atlanta (Ga) Constitu.
tion)
The senate bill proposing to pro
hibit white teachers from teaching
Negroes is amazing in this day of
twentieth century civilization,
when more than at any time in the
south's history she is more surely
working out what has been called
her race problem.
Georgia has laws which well pro-
tect her against the amalgamation
of the races; against the atten-
dance of white and Negro children
upon the same school, and any leg
islation against Negroes teaching
in schools for white people is un-
necessary. for that will never be
attempted nor countenanced in
Georgia.
But the law which proposes to
make it a crime for white teach
er to help make better citizen of
the Negro would put Georgia in
the absurd attitude of sending her
prerchers and her teachers, her
sons and her daughter to foreign
lands to do missionary work among
/ the barbarous and emi-barbarious
people, when the descendants of
race of these very people consti-
tute large part of Georgia's pop
uIation-and that which brands
her with disgracful quota of illi-
eracy.
Beyond the education and racial
disadvantages of the proposed law
to the Negro, the very principle of
it is Great Teacher, who admonish,
go and preach the gospel to all
men" Only misguided emissar-
les of our civilization IN the south
to-day would turn the Negro adrift
to develop his worst features with
out the guidance of those to whom
they have learned to look for help
for their first lessons in racial
growth.
We have taught them this faith
| in the white man as their best
friend, and their own leaders the
leaders of the Negro race-are
teaching them this same doctrine.

I now take occasion to call your
attention to fact that in our
general struggles, sentiment has
been quite obstructing. For some
cause unexpressed in the annals
of reason. privileges have been
generally denied us, and our rights
as freemen denied us, and our
ri shts as freemen violated. Some
have the audacity to attribute
these violations to color, others to
slavery, others to citizenship differ

lings that they attribute our hurts
to political activities.
We are now convinced as to the
color proposition, that ''all good
ness is not white and all badness is
not black = but goodness is good.
ness and badness is badness !"
Color is not an index of character;
for man may be black, or brown,
or white, and be william still.
As to slavery, we may or may
not admit that it left scar upon
our fair name, more imaginary than
real. However | do admit that
SUCH scar has been reproduced,
| admit that it has been magni-
fed, misrepresented and villifed,
and in this condition it has been
viciously heralded to the four
quarters of the world. Brit 1 do
declare without fear of contradic-
tion that with the abolition of
American slavery, there emerged
from servitude the worlds great

mindful of the fact that many, if
not allof the worlds great peoples,
have had their day in servitude.
We said others blame the race.

canvassed these are found within
the bounds of best report.

when the activities of all men and
