Deplorable Condition Of Negroes.

Asheville, June 16.-H. f. Cor
saut, Of Detroit, Mich, in letter to
the secretary Of the board Of trade,
calls attention to the deplorable con-
ditiOn Of many negro immigrants
from the South to Detroit and other
Northern cities who have left home
lured by promises of plenty Of work
and higher wages. Those who were
brought North by manufacturers
themselves are doing we'll, says Mr..
Corsaut; but large numbers are
suffering now and are facing greater
hardships this winter, in his opinion.
Mr.. Corsaut enclosed Detroit
Free Press which gives whole page
showing the poverty-stricken condi-
ton Of hundreds who are stranded
and without means either Of support
or Of returning to their Southern
homes. The Detroit man thinks the
colored man who goes North to work
should make sure that he will find q
place awaiting for him.

A PROCLAMATION
By the Governor.
To the People Of Tennessee:

To the People of Tennessee:
No state can truthfully boast of
true greatness and wealth, unless that
state is great in its moral development
and rich in the Godliness of its people,
hence the exaeting demand and impor-
tant duty of every commonwealth is
to bend every effort and exert every
energy to the thorough establishment
of the great forces which produce
Christian character.
The study Of the Bible is pecessari-
" a sacred duty for the reason that a
knowledge of Gods word is essential to
the development of Christian charac-
ter and good citizenship.
The Sunday schools of the state are
the strong right arms Of our churches
dealing deadly and effective blows to
the evils that seek to destroy childhood,
home, state and nation. This being
true our Sunday schools deserve all
praise and encouragement and should
be attended by all our people. The
child naturally follows in the footsteps
of more mature years; therefore, our
men and women should turn their
steps toward the Sunday school in or
der that the children may, there, learn
lessons which will make them worthy
citizens. If the time ever was when

the, Sunday school was but place for
children that time is passed, for, under
the guidance of the good men and wo-
men who are giving their lives to the
noble cause, there is now a place for
all ages, from the Cradle roll" for in
fants to the 'Home Department" for
those unable to attend and duty calls
all to take their place in the Sunday
schools.
| could wish for no higher compli-
ment or greater honor for our people
than to have it said that every citizen
of the state is a member of the Sun
day school. Thousands of our children
are already on the highway to ruin be-
cause father, mother or somebody else
did not direct their tiny feet into the
paths that lead to the Sunday school.
There has never been time when
the Importance of Sunday school at
tendance was not realized and appre-
clated, but it seems to me that in view
of recent events the Importance of
Sunday school encouragement and at
tendance is emphasized. We did not
desire tive could not help tive
have even prayed that it might not
come but despite all this we are today
walking in the gathering gloom of
lowering war-clouds, and we need to
know more of the teachings of the
Prince of Peace and His will concern
ing us.
Believing implicitly in the great
work now being done in our Sunday
schools, desirous of encouraging efforts
of those who are contributing their
time, energyy and money to this holy
cause, and being advised that the Ten
nessee Sunday School Association has
designated Sunday, April 9Th, as
GO-T0-SUNDAY- -SCHOOL-SUNDAY
Now Therefore, |, Tom G. Rye, Gov
ernor of Tennessee, do hereby proclaim
and set apart April 8, 1917, as GO TO
SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY for Tennes-
see. On that day, earnestly urge all
Tennesseans, as well as all the visitors
within her borders, to attend the Sun
day school of their choice, and trust
those not heretofore attending may
on that day resolve to begin to cudlti-
vate the habit Of regular SUNDAY
sciiooi attehaanee, believing is / do,
that from this habit will spring count
less blessings to every home in our
state.
In testimony whereof | have here
unto set my hand and caused the great
seal of the state to be affixed at Nash
vile on this the fifth day of February,
Nineteen hundred and seventeen.
