Georgia legislature which re-
Gently closed for the use of
white institutions in the state,
with no appropriation that
will benefit the Negro.
With more than a million
Negroes in the state, the only
institution for Negroes which
is recognized by the state is
Georgia State College for
Negroes at Savannah, and.the
$4,000 which was annually
appropriated for the school
originally came from the Fed
eral land scrip fund, and was
the sum taken from Atlanta
University because white
members of the faculty of that
school refused to take their
children out of classes with
the Negro students. So that
it is only what is appropriated
in excess of $4,000 for the Sa-
vannah school that comes
from the state treasury.
Some of the items included
in recent appropriations for
white institutions are: Georgia

powerless in the face of the
mob's overwhelming numbers

disorder and turmoil waxed
hot and many Negroes were
beaten on the streets. The

tonight, the company goes back to The American Girl which from d comedy point of view is making even a greater impression than Jekyll and Hyde does from the dramatic stand point For the entire week MT. Ray F. Brandon, in the part of Ross Bolter, the hustling theatrical manager, has stirred the audience to a pitch of enthusiasm that they have not heretofore seen in the Elks.
 The play is a bubbling, sparkling, comedy drama with a punch and a thrill and the excitement never lags for minute.
 There is also a heavy demand for seats for the performances tonight and Sunday, which will make the present one the banner week of The Elks. The company is working extra hard on the big production for next week. Starting Monday, they will offer for the first time in Phoenix the vital and vivid drama of New York life Today It is probably the most sensationaliy dramatic offering ever staged.
