PECULIAR CONDITIONS IN
GEORGIA.

Strange things are happening In
the Southland now. We have before
us a clipping from the Brunswick,
Georgia News OF the sixth inst, in
which the American Federation Of
Labor makes the following state
mcnt:
knowing the great loyalty and pa
triot SIN Of the laboring class of
Brunswick and knowing that there
will be some surprise in their non
part cipaticn in the Liberty parade
and consequent exercises to be held
tomorrow, we deem it due the public
to explain the absence of the labor
ing class in these exercises.
AS s we'll known, both white and
colorcd are members of the American
Federation OF Labor. An invitation
was extended the former, that is, the
white men, to- participate, but was
withheld from the colored laborcrs,
and union members. A meeting Of
the union being in session, the matter
was reported and 1t was decided that
inasmuch rs the invitation was with
held from tho colorcd workers, the
white members as body aud as
individuals, would not accept and
thereby participate.
We are all of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, white and colored
alike--what is tho white mans
interest is also that Of tho colored
man and it may be truthfully stated
here that more colored selectmen
have left Brunswick to serve their
country than any other city OF Il like
Si2o in the State. 1t may also be
stated that tho colored laboring man
has been purchasers OF bonds on two
ncy asions and will DO found among
the ltTS OF third Liberty Bond
Records will show that the great
army and navy Of the United States
Is made up Of those who earn their
living by the sweat of their brows.
The loyalty of the laboring man,
VIII tie or black, has never been Ques-
toned, and even that we do not
participate in the exercises does not
mean that we arc not patriotic, but
does mean that we also have tho
manhood to remain true to our fellow
workers. even if they are colored.
American Federation Of Labor.
What does this mean in Georgia?
Is the day OF industrial cmanc:p ation
for the black man and the white one
-.
at hand? Has the time come when
the laboring white men OF the South
land have had their eyes opened to
the fact that the interests OF labor
both white and black, are one and
the same, that one cannot go upward
and the other go downward at one
and the same time? 1t would seem
so.

Sirs: The National Association

Pcop.e DIES res specifically to direct
your attention to what in its julg
ment is Il most unjust, humiliat ng
and incNpedicnt general order affect
ing colorcd officers and men of the
y ncty-second Division OF the Nation
III Army, issued on March IS, 1918,
- Il bulletin Number 3d.. by COM
nland of Major General Ballou at
Headquarters, Ninety-sccond Division
Camp Funston, Kansas.
This Bulletin, which has come to
our attention within the last day or
two, d reefs colored officers and men
OF the Ninety-second Division to
''rcfrain from going where the T.
presence will be resented" and
asserts that the interests of the ser
vice require that members OF tn s
command shall not insist upon theft
legal rights but that they shall not
do any;h nS, "no matter how legally
! correct, that will provoke race
animosity."
This latter reference is mentioned
, n the Bulletin in connection with Il
specific instance in which a colOrcd
Sergeant entered theatre and was
illegally disseminated against in the
seat given him by the theatre man
agcr..
This Association is DESTROYS that
colored officers and soldiers now in
! the United States Army shall acquit
themselves with credit to their coun-
try and to their several commands
1t is constrained to believe, however,
} that General Ballou is in error in
assuming that. the good of the service
will be promoted by enjoin ,ng col
.ored officers from performing perfect
", legal acts.which would in no wise
be resented by any part Of the pop
,ulat on were these officers not
colored. - ~ =

people or the United States as a whole
will indignantly resent the imputa-

ITS WORTH ACCOUNTING.

Aud they still sheer at Arkansas But do you realize that during tn, year of 1es1 Arkansas produced a crol valued at $35953S,000 Those are tn, figures of the Manufacturers Record well known and accepted authority The year before Arkansas produced s crop valued at S2iS.463,0 900. The in crease in the value for 1917 was mort than @ hundred and eleven million dollars And according to the 1908 census, he Arkansas crop was val. ued al sll9,4l90O0 Consider well the marked increase
 The figures were based on the re ports of the department of agricultura and the government has never been so in touch with sources of informa ton The reports are true. Arkansas is we'll ahead of number of states in is crop product values Alabama has seventy million less Louisiana has fifty million less. Oklahoma has thirty million less Tennessee has seventy million less Virginia has twenty million less.
 And with all these figures. we know that the resourcefulness of Arkansas has not been touched, The state has not been developed There are thou sands of acres of fertile soil yet open to homestead entry. There are other thousands Of acres of fertile soil that may be purchased at an average ol Sio to $20 an acre Much of this is cleared.

HE WILL WlN-ExPERlENcE.

Political circles will not be dis turhed in Arkansas by the announce ment from Mir Brundige that he will enter the race against United States Senator Joe T Robinson for the place in the senate Already the people have answered that question for them selves. They answered it last sum mer when it became so apparent to them that cur Mir Robinson was one of the most substantial supports of q democratic administration that was making the world free for democracy.
 During the early summer there were at least five men who thought they were going 10 enter the senatorial race. Gradually they awakened to the truth of the situation, and finally the announcement went forth. apparently unanimously voiced, that not one
 Asrspese him. but that instead ,hey wouldN perhaps every one sup
 rt him because of the acknowledged A snnort he was giving his country
 ater Mir Brundige changed his Bind. Perhaps some disgruntled ap- [, cant for political prestige made him kse new light We know not of that. But the latest tiom the Brun- diue camp is that an announcement ia expected soon from that political headquarters.
 @,osscourse it is Mr. Brundige's priv slege to make the race. and to win the experience that he seems itching for. Experience is all that it seems possible for him to win. The people of Arkansas are going to return Sen ator Robinson to the senate as their tribute of support to President Will son and 10 an administration that has had the hardest path to hoe that ever faced the United States, but has done admirably well under the difficulties
