What Are You GOinq
to Do With the Negro?
Little Artie V Lyons. Metropolis. III.


le-The Negro, the greatest man of
all nations, ready 70 his part in
everything tie has fought for
liberty, why not give il to lin !
The Ncgtoes lliave today risen to
the highest OF civilization and have
only been out Of bondage little
over.hity years and arc striving to
lite 90 what the white man does
but the white man has had a lie
time to rise to this point and still
they haven't rose yet.
The question what arc you go
ing to do with the Negro race2
II it was left to some OF the whites
they would put them back in
bondage. but they cannot because
God has decreed that all nations
shall be free, add too, the educat-
ed christian white man and the
thousands OF educated negroes
would not stand for il Look at
Roscoe c Simmons. and Mamie
II Burroughs, whose names will
live on as long as-there is negro
race, and the late Booker I
Washington, also.
The Negro has been treated
worse than any other nationality
in history He is Iynched in the
South. pushed off the side walks
toat his money helped to pay
for Any other nationality can
come to the United States and
find a hearty welcome and warm
hand shake. They are always
treated better tnan the negroes.
They are not pushed off the side
walk neither is he lyncched in all
parts OF the United States, but
when the United states is in trou-
Bile and cannot settle it. they ask
where is the Negro and what is he
doing: But the Negro has to go
and settle the question but he new
er has his rights like other people
in this country. They are treated
like an OK or something on that
order.
This great war that is going on
now il the Yanks had not called
on the Negro, what would they
have done:
When this great battle is over
the question is, what are you &C.

Go-to-SchooI
Campaign On

From our great and wonderful
government at Washington has come
cali for patriotic service to our
boys and girls. This call does not
summon them to the field of blood
in France or to the arduous duties
of the hospital, but to the quiet life
of the schools. They are to 90 there
to prepare for lives of usefulness and
honor in the government service in
the coming years. When the war
ends, and it will end before many
years shall have passed, there will be
an imperative need for trained men
and women in every department Of
governmental activity; there will be
need of chemists, physicists, inguists,
social workers, nurses and econo-
mists. The positions will be honor
able and lucrative. They viii be
filled by those who are now in their
teens for there will be no Others to
fill them. But to be ready for such
patriotic service will require the
training of the high school and col
lege. The governments request is,
therefore, imperative that every boy
and girl shall go to school and that
those who are fitted shall go to col
lege in order to prepare for govern
mental positions in the next few
years.
To promote ibis movement there
will be a mass-meeting held in the
Northern Methodist church, Greene
vile, on Sunday evening at o'clock.
Mr. Biddle, chairman of the local
committee; DIR. Gray, president Of
Tusculum college, and Prof. Pierce,
superintendent of schools, will make
brief addresses, and the music will
be of high order. To this meeting
the boys and girls of the county are
requested urgently to bring their
parents and hear the message of our
great President.
