MANNtNG'S VIEWS on THE
EXODUS FROM THE SOUTH
Southern White Man Says Denial OF
Justice 10 Responsible.

The colOred people are eaving the
south by the thousand, more want to
leave, and more are going to leave, says
the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, former
member Of the Alabama legislature III
q letter to the New York Sun. 1t Is
more than q wish to better their eco
nomic condition that is causing this
departure of Negroes from the south.
It is more a sort of quiet revolution
against the oppression and repression
to which southern Negroes have been
subjected for many years.
The spirit of revolution has manifest
cd itself In simply leaving the south.
OF course the demand for labor In the
north opened the door Of opportunity.
but the restiveness Of the Negro In the
far southern states was such that the
point was reached where, for better or
for worse, the desire to get away had
taken strong hold.
The Acknowledgement laws more
than anything else have created the
feeling Of unrest and discomfort on the
part Of the southern colored people.
Their RELOCATION to the status Of sub
ject citizen, the denial to him Of civic
Justice, has been too bitter pill to
swallow In mere submission. The un'
even chance In litigation in the courts.
the oppression of the illiterate and
helpless Negro by and through the
processes in the petty courts-these
and other minor prosecutions play a
part in creating the determined move
ment to get out Of the south and go
where there is more Of square deal
for the average man.
Lynching has something to do with
adding to the feeling that has brought
about this exodus; but, strange as 1t
may seem, the terror of lynching does
not 60 so far in deeply moving the
southern Negro as does the loss OF his
rights as citizen.
A Negro minister who was recently
In Georgia, Florida, Alabama and 9th
er southern states Is authority for the
statement that leading Negro ministers
and many leading Negroes indorse the
movement to get away from the south,
advising their congregations that It
means protection under the law, the
right of citizenship. better educational
advantages for their children and free
dom from the increasing wrongs Of
the south.
This subject Of the coming north of
southern Negroes was discussed at a
weekly meeting Of Baptist ministers
In New York city, and as leading
minister who had been south told Of
the wholesale departure of southern
Negroes for the north, crying out to
'let them come" there was chorus
of amen"
These people coming up from the
south to the states Of the north and
west will soon be voters, and their
leaders In this section are keeping this
In mind. Never before has there been
such united movement on the part
or the ministers of the north among
the colored people in the matter Of urg.
in- Negro voters to qualify for voting
"Y0u want to help those left down
there In the south by voting up here"
Is the way the ministers In the north
are putting their appeals.

NEGRO PRESS IS ACTIVE.

Millions of black men are watch
ing national legislation and regula-
ton. The recognized press of the
race is doing its duty. There are a
few slackers, but the vanguard is on
the firing line fighting for their
rights. Article l, of the Amendments
to the U. S. Constitution is a sacred
safeguard for all loyal citizens. The
free exercises of religion, speech,
press or peaceable assembly and petit
tons for redress of grievances con-
stitute the fundamentals of this great
Republic, and are intended to give
all men equality before the law. The
Negro press stands for love of coun-
try and duty to their race. When
ever duty calls, they will not falter.
If the Negroes were so void of
manhood as to forget the injustice of
the present administration against
them, they would not be possessed of
that loyalty to the American Flag
which they have defended with honor
in all of this Nations conflicts and
always respected in times of peace.
This Is the only home of the Amer
lean Negro and he will defend it,
tho denied his rights.

New Britain has been given credit
for 1927 enlistments. This fact augurs
we'll for the patriotism shown by the
men and young men of this city.
Citizens believe, however, that the
number of enlistments credited to
New Britain has been underestimated.
