onism, but born of the eIigency of
American environment, the National
Association For the Advancement OF
Colored People has for its object the
advancement Of colored people by ad
vancing mankind. Prejudice Is always
narrow, always ignorant. always mean
But there are degrees Of narrOwness
ignorance and meanness. In our ef.
forts at racial advancement we have
been narrow in thAt we have thought
too exclusively Of ourselves. We have
been ignorant In that we have been
too much Influenced by outside opin
iOns-have initiated and sought too
much the ideals of others
limitation is fattery. but fattery
seldom brings either confidence, friend
ship or respect. We have been mean
in that we have continually fought
each other. But we have never been
narrow enough to want to deny the
other fellow the right to live on the
earth nor ignorant enough to think We
alone have right to life, liberty and the
pursuit OF happiness nor mean enough
to make race test for citizenship.
"Segregation Is one of the oldest

Segregation says to It's victim, Thou

In fact, segregation Is negative slav'

TO become positive.
THE fight against segregation il a
fight against slavery that is, accord

Let us get concrete and take a
practical example from real life.
"Mr. A. owns a tract Of unOccupied

from which he is deriving a handsome
revenue. Rev. G.. Is colOred minister

there are no other houses that cOlOred
people can rent. Not to be baked. the
Rev. G. finds Mr.. A. and shows him
the advantage Of putting up rent
houses on his unOccupied land. Ii
looks good to Mr.. A., and he proceeds
to act. Mr.. B. hears Of 1t and sets
about to keep his tenants. He at once
elicits the aid Of all the saloon keepers
and other merchants profiting by this
trade.

BENNET LOOMS UP
BIG IN The RACE
BRUNSWICK CITIZEN HAS SPLEEN.
DID CHANCE TO WIN FED
ERAL JUDGESHIP

Developments in the fight for Judge
Of the federal court for the Southern
district of Georgia have been of a
rather startling nature within the
past few days and they have served
to add strength to the candidacy of
Judge Joseph w. Bennett of this city.
With the announcement on Tues
day that Hon. Joseph Pottle had re-
tired from the race, the Bennett can
didacy took an upward turn for it
was beginning to dawn on the public
mind that President was not going to
make a mere political appointment to
patch up the fences of the two Geor-
gia senators. Then again, news came
Yesterday that W. w Osborn of Saw
annah had been slated for the place
and coincident with this came the in
formation that very strong fight
was being made against Osborn by
the prohibitiOnists of Georgia and by
many others who do not see in the
Savannah politician all of the equip
ment for a federal Judge. It is known
that a very bitter fight is being urged
against MIR. Osborn, not only by cer=
tain element of his own fellow citi-
zens in Savannah but by many other
prominent men all over the state. On
the other hand some very effective
work is being done in the interest of
Judge Bennett, who is easily one of the
ablest lawyers in the state, who has
had ample training on the bench and
who is splendidly qualified for the
position he is seeking.
Information received in the city last
night from an authentic source makes
the prediction that either Judge Ben
net or Hon. Thomas S. Fielder, of
Macon would land the Job. Judge
Benncfs friends all over the state are
active and very strong campaign is
being waged in his interest.
