FAIR FOR BEAT FIVE.

After Miss Susie v. Powell had
delivered an interesting address
on Preparedness" as relates to
girls club work in Mississippi at
Johns Thursday evening, Apri!
S, Mr.. C. w. Alliston, who did
so much toward organizing and
placing upon a firm footing, the
Beat One Fair at Florence. told
in his interesting way how he and
his people had managed to make
their fair a success and gave
several of the good results that
are not generally considered a
part of a fairs success. He
created such an interest In his
subject that Immediately after
his address a meeting OF al! citi-
zens interested in promoting 9
fair along the same line for Beat
Five was called. Almost every
man present remained for this
meeting, and after Q thorough
discussion of the subject it was
decided to organize as a perma-
nent Fair Association for the
purpose of promoting a fair Tor
Beat 5 next fall.
Every person present Joined
the association and an :encourag.
ing financial backing was pledged
before the meeting adjourned: 1t
was decided to have another
meeting at Johns Saturday even
ing, April 21st at 1880 for the
purpose of electing officers and
directors, and appointing COM
mittees, etc. At this meeting
there will be present one OF
more speakers who are well in
formed along this line and who
will explain anything one may
wish to know about the subject.
This meeting is for everyone
interested in the upbuilding OF
his or her community. especially
that of agriculture,
1t is specially urged that every
farmer and business man in the
Beat to come and join the assocl.
alton. But do not stay away Il
you do not wish to join come
and get in line to win . prise.
Now, those behind this organ
ization want the fair next tall e
be a real Beat Fair, and not
merely a one or two community
affair. With this object in view
directors will be chosen from
every community in the beat,
and everything possible done to
have liberal exhibits from every
directors home town.
It nay seem a little out OF
place to be promoting . fair in
this stringent war time but sure.
" we need everything that viii!
encourage better farming and
stock raising. and better home
life than ever before. At any
rate we are going to have the
fair! What are you going to
show? 1t is hoped that the boys

SHIPPERS PROTEST

Atlanta, Ga, June At costs $186

Valley, Ga, to New York City, a dis
lance of 996 miles, while the cost OF
shipping a carload of oranges from
Orlando, Fla. to New York is $183
for distance Of loo miles. Yet the
railroads now propose to increase the
rates on peaches IS per cent on the
plea of wartime necessity.
The above striking comparison and
many others, showing that rates on
Georgia peaches are too high already
were submitted to the Interstate Com
merce Commission by General Man
ager B. J. Christman of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange, who has just return
ed from Washington in high hopes
that the proposed advance will be de-
MED.
Any fears that the peach crop would
be denied cars on the ground that
peaches are luxury was dismissed by
Herbert Hoover's statement that
fruit is an important article of diet.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE MIGHT DO
WELL IN TAKING THEIR
OWN ADVICE

Atlanta, Ga, June Z-When the
Chicago Tribune, which boastfully
proclaims itself "The Worlds Great
est Newspaper" and which has been
more bitter, probably than any other
paper in the United States in its at
tacks on the South and Southern peo-
pie, especially in regard to the treat
ment of negroes, comes out in an edi-
torial strongly urging negroes to stay
away from the north, because South
ern people will treat them better
than northern people will treat them,
it is certainly time for the colored
man to strike the scales from his eyes
and wake UP to his own best interests
in the opinion of H. NJ Stanley, state
commissioner of commerce and labor
of Georgia, who calls attention to the
recent Tribune editorial advising ne
groes to stick to their white folks
who understand them.
The experience of negro from
Randolps county may be cited as fair
ly typical of the misfortunes that lie
along the pathway of the uneducated.
Woodworking, honest colored man who
leaves the community where the
white folks know him and respect
him, and fares forth into the world
to seek the rainbow lure of high
wages
This negro sold his farm, brought
his family to Atlanta and purchased
tickets to Patterson, n J.. after which
he checked his trunk and sat down in
the waiting room until time for his
train to leave. Presently smart,
crooked city negro came along and
"frissed' him of his money and his
ticket. The old negro appealed to the
station agent, who found that his
trunk had already gone. He advised
the negro to go back to Randolph
county, which advice was rejected
The negro said he had $500 in his
trunk. if they could get it back. The
station agent made arrangements for
the negro and his family to spend the
night in Atlanta, telegraphed for the
trunk and got it back, and the negro
opened it, tok out his money, bought
HIM another set of tickets and re-
checked his trunk, then went on to
Patterson with only few dollars left
from the sale of his farm.
Next winter when he gets cold and
hungry he'll probably come back-if
he can.

BLACK MAN, STAY SOUTH"
SAYS THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

|
They say down south that 'niggers
are all right in their place" but where
is that place? South? At Memphis,
Tenn, negro was recently burned
alive. North? At East St. Louis,
| ILL.,, negroes are mobbed, beaten, and
run out of town.
We taunt the south with race pre-
| JUDGE when it burns bad nigger,"
but just see how we northerners de-
test even good niggers!" The real
race prejudice is ours. Our very
philanthropists betray it. They say
to black man, God bless you, good
bye" whereas the south says, g
- you, come here" Or put it this
way: The northerner is great
friend of the negro but not of a ne
gro; the southerner is a great friend
of negro, but not of the negro.
Professor Munsterberg once de-
scribed the race as passive at every
turn of fortune" yet within the last
year negroes by the thousand have
actively undertaken to find a place
for themselves. They have come
north. 1t was huge mistake. They
escape barbarous punishment for their
occasional crimes while winning no
appreciation for their habitual virtues.
They are disliked. When their pres
ence becomes burden, as at East St.
Louis, they are abused.
1t is on these terms only that they
enjoy the longed for liberties of the
north"-its social equality" for in
stance. But do they really enjoy
that? Our observation goes to show
that the. negro is happiest when the
white race asserts its superiority, pro-
vided that sympathy and understand
ing accompany the assertion Not long
ago Virginian noticed very gloomy
black porter in northern hotel, and,
learning that the negro had come
from Virginia. said you - -
black fool, go back to Virginia." The
reply revealed much: ooh, Cunnel,
denis de fust kind wuds dat's been
spoken to me since All come up
norff!"
Southerners insist that "the niger
must be kept down" They enforce the
color line. Yet they will work side
by side with negroes, befriend them
in adversely. and overlook their minor
failings. Gradually they are working
toward better surroundings for the
negro. They do not hate negroes.
In their hearts they like them. Said
Dooley: Pm naught throubled whin
the naygur is amon'st his oppressors,
Hinnessy. What throubles me is
whin he falls into tn hands of his lib
orators"
