CAUSE OF RACE MIGRATION.
lynchins and Bad Politics Responsible
For Great Exodus, Says Manning.

-
For Great Exodus, Says Manning.
In n stirring address delivered at the
Salem Methodist Episcopal church,
New York. recently, Joseph c. Man
ming. a former member Of the Alabama
legislature. aroused great enthusiasm
by giving first hand facts about condi-
tions in the south as they relate to the
colored people.
Mr. Manning Is a southern white
man who believes in fair play and
equal justice to all citizens Of this
country without regard to race or color,
and he practices the doctrine which he
breaches. He predicted that before
Jan. l. 1913. one-half Of the 100000
colored people who reside In the south
will leave for new homes in the north
and West.
There Is no real democracy in Ala
bnma," he said THE trouble Is the
attitude of the south toward the Ne
gro, and this Is condition that had Its
origin in politics. The Negro Is being
treated as he was before the war. The
dominating political element In the
south has lynched the constitution OF
the United States. the same as 1t has
lynched colored men in Alabama. This,
with the barbarous practice OF intimi-
dating the Negro is responsible for the
exodus

Views Of Or. Thomas Jssss Jonss -
Qualified Race Leadership.

washington.-AdeQua college and
university education for colored peo-
pie is urged by DIR. Thomas Jesse Jones
Of the United States bureau of educa-
ton. department Of the interior, in the
two volume report on Negro Educa-
tion." Just issued by the department,
which says:
III college education is OF value to
any group surely 1t is to those who are
to be the leaders Of the colored people.
Only broad minded leadership with
a thorough grasp Of human develop
ment can understand the peculiar diff
cultics resulting from the close prox-
unity OF such widely varying races MS
tn, black and the white people OF the
southern states.
The race must have physicians OF
real skill and the spirit of service TO
lead against the insanitary conditions
that are not only threatening the group
itself but also its white neighbors. 1t
must have religious teachers who can
relate religion to the morals or the IN
dxLdual and to the common activities
Iof ne community. 1t must have teach
ers OF secondary schools who have had
. college education in the Rrcnt mod
ern sciences and in the historical devel-
opment Of civilization"
DIR. Jones points out that despite high
ideals and notable enthusiasm on the
mart of the race and its benefactors,
most Of the colored institutions calling
themselves colleges are poorly equipped
and inefrcctively organized and admin
i,tered. Only a few institutions at
prcsent have tho student body, equip
mcnt and teaching force OF genuine

this made 1t all the more necessary
that he should prepare himself. 1t was
during his college work that he was
called to pastor the Nazareth Baptist
church IN Columbia. and this enabled
him to meet his expenses during the
last four years of his college work.
He made many friends. who We're ever
ready to encourage him in his efforts.
The Rev. Dr. Carter graduated from
Benedict college about 1907, and after
his graduation he was called to St
Pauls Baptist church in Winsboro.
which was a much larger church than
his former charge. Remaining there
five years, he was called to the Baptist
church in Georgetown. succeeding the
Rev. DR.. G. w. Raiford, who was
great preacher
During his stay in Georgetown he
paid OF al .ha indebtedness Of the
church, Erected a parsonage costing
$4,000, which was paid for, and then
raised $1,000 for new building, which
was left on hand. 1t was on account
of his health and the advice Of the doc
tor that he left Georgetown. He was
soon called to the Central Baptist
church in Jacksonville, where he has
commenced successful pastorate.
The Central Baptist church is an ag
gressive church, and some Of the best
people of the city can be found among
the members-men OF thought, business
men, professional men, workingmen
and women. 1t is the home of the peo-
pie, and the pastor is a preacher Of the
people. Eloquent and scholarly are his
sermons, yet full of the spirit, and 1t is
this in him that is attracting large
numbers to the church at every serv-
ice 1t will not be long before he will
have the church free from debt, and
he will then erect n new parsonage.
He believes that every church should
own home for its preacher and is
teaching his peopl, to buy homes for
themselves also. a
