CBy Associated Negro Press)

(By Associated Negro Press)
Augusta, Ca Oct 1.-Do you know
Charlie and Silas2
The need of better Race leader.
ship is expressed in a forceful editor
ial appearing recently in the Augusta
(Ga) Chronicle, which says
Opinions expressed by those famil-
lar with recent race troubles in the
North and West attribute much of the
difficulty to lack of the right kind of
leadership among the race in the Sec
few of the exceptionally intelligent
genuinely sincere and patriotic meu-
b'ers of the race, qualified for leading
the race along the right lines, have
migrated along with the mass of Ne
groes who have left the South.
Reports now indicate that after
having their districts patrolled by
militia and all kinds of restrictions
thrown around them in many differ
ent cities, there is yet another dan
ger threatening the safety of the
Negroes. Propaganda is being dis
seminated in Washington, Philadel-
phia, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Detroit
and Chicago, urging the Negroes to
band themselves together under a
leader like Lenine." OF course such
doctrine will prove disastrous to the
Negroes if followed.
What the Negroes of that part of
the country should do is to send
down here to Georgia and get work
ers like Charlie Walker, Silas Floyd
and other Augusta Negro leaders
who might be mentioned, and let them
give the race the benefit of real
sound, logical advice that will "get
them somewhere" instead of drag
ging them back
Here in the South, where the two
races understand one another, and
centuries of association enable them
to work on mutually satisfactory
basis, there is little likelihood of
wholesale outbreaks occurring such
as have been recorded in several in
stances recently in the North and
West The Negroes are progressing,
as shown by local tax figures, and
the right sort of leadership and
sound doctrine will still further ad-
vance the race.

WANTED-EoUAL OPPORTUNITY

(By Associated Negro Press)
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. doug
lass school furnishes the answer to
the question, What does the Negro
want?" according to R. H. Leavell.
writing in the Outlook Magazine. The
answer may be summed up iii these
words on placards in the main en-
trance OF. the school, Leavell believes:
rSelf-control, self-reliance, self-re-
spect, Race pride!'
The Negro wants as good chance
for his boys and girls as the white
man wants for his, Leavell says, but
feels they will get this chance most
surely by staying in their own
crowd
Leavell cites figures of the Board of
Education showing Negroes of that
section prefer to send their children
TO the Douglass school for Negroes
only, though they legally are permit
ted to send them to mixed schools.

coffee in that particular package was
produced in South America.
The picture of a maple leaf on a
can of sirup carries the fancy to the
delicious flavor and sweetness of the
product from Vermont, inducing pur-
chasers to pay more than they would
pay if they noted the statement in
very small type on the bottom of the
label that the product is corn sirup
favored with cane.
When Quantity Is Camouflaged.
The use of panel bottles which ap-
pear to have capacity of four ounces
of fiavoring extract, but which on ac-
count of the thickness and contour of
the sides cannot be made to hold more
than two ounces, is an old practice to
deceive the housewife in regard to the
quantity. Even when the quality of
contents is marked on the bottle, the
purchaser is likely to judge the guam
tity more by the size of the bottle,
which is so apparent, than by an in
conspicuous statement, which can be
SCCn Oniy ny ClOSc ODSCANdlAOns
A more recent device for making a
little bit of pepper or spice look like a
whole lot is six-ounce tin package
with a shaker top which, because it
cannot be removed without destroying
the package, prevents the purchaser
from observing that there are only two
ounces or less in the package.
Deceptive devices appearing on the
labels of foods or drugs subject to
the Jurisdiction of the federal food
and drugs act are in violation of that
law. The question as to whether any
given device is deceptive, and wheth-
er the deception is removed by cor
rective statements appearing else
where on the label, is one to be deter
mined by the facts in each case. Many
seizures have been effected and many
prosecutions maintained because Of
the use of deceptive devices held to be
misleading. Some forms of devices,
although deceptive, which do not ap-
pear upon the labels, have been held
not to be covered by the provisions Of
the federal food and drugs act.
Action viii be taken in all cases
believed to be in violation Of the law,
say the officials. In the meantime con-
sumers can avoid being misled by de-
ceptive devices by carefully reading
the labels of all food and drug pack
ages.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
(By Associated Negro Press)

NOy ACOOO1QlCQ 4NC6IO 1881
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. l.
Maurice F. Mays, the Negro who was
Hplucked from the hands of an angry
mob in Knoxville when he was ar
rested and accused of the murder of
Mrs. Gertie Lindsey, a welliknown
Knoxville woman, made a statement
in which he gave a detailed account
of his every action from early Satur-
day evening until the hour of his ar
rest. He states that he has been per-
secuted when there was no real evil
dence against him, and declares that
the methods of the Knoxville police
employed at his arrest were irregular.
May states that if the Knoxville po-
lice had investigated the crime prop
erly a race riot resulting in seven
deaths would have been avoided. AS
it is, he declares his confidence that
he will be cleared when he is taken
back to Knoxville for further investi-
cation and trial.
Mays is fair writer. "As will be
seen, officers in the case are somewhat
prejudiced against me on account of
unfounded reports. One of the officers,
Andy White, has cursed me on for
mer occasion.
81 served as a deputy sheriff in my
home county and have a recommends
ton from Sheriff Galloway, commend
ing me on my honorable record as an
officer. The case is one of oppression
and injustice. Had the officers been
honest in their actions, they would
have arrested several suspects filling
the description and kept the arrests
secret. Then they would have allowed
the lady to come in a composed con-
dition and pick out the guilty party.
AS it is, it looks like bad management,
based on oppression and prejudice. |.
think the court will believe me, as l
am telling the truth, if | die this very
moment.
"If the case had been handled with
justice race riot would have been
averted and several lives would have
been saved"

Misleading pictures and other de-
vices appearing on the labels of foods
is form of misbranding against which
housewives will do well to be on their
guard, say the officials of the bureau
Of chemistry, United States depart
ment of agriculture, in charge of the
enforcement of the federal food and
drugs act. Many prosecutions and
seizures are made in the enforcement
of the law to prevent this subtle form
of misbranding.
Inconspicuous statements in fine
print are placed on the illustrated la
bel in many instances to correct Os-
tensibIy the misleading features of the
picture or other device. However, as
the picture or device attracts the at
tention at once, while the inconspicu-
Gus corrective statement can be seen
only by a most careful scrutiny of the
misled unless attention is directed to
the exact wording of the entire Ia
bel.
The picture of an olive tree and a
map Of Italy on the label of a bot
tie of oil leads the average housewife
to expect an italian olive oil, but a
careful reading of the fine print on
the label will enable her sometimes
to discover that the bottle contains
cottonseed oil made in America. Cot
tonseed oil is a wholesome product !;
is well able to stand on its own mer-
its, and is cheaper than olive oil
Oranges Pretty, but Deceptive.
The picture of a luscious orange on
the label of a bottle of imitation or
angeade not only adds to the attrac-
tiyeness of the label, but helps to hyp-
notlze the purchaser into the belief
that he is getting the real article, not
wlthstanding the fact that there is
tucked away somewhere in a mass of
fine print a little statement to the eff
feet that this most excellent bever-
age is but an imitation.
Many consumers asking and paying
for Arabian coffee accept a package
having on the label the picture of an
Arab mounted on a fiery steed and
imagine they are getting the aroma
of the delightful beverage of the far
East, although there is on the label
an inconspicuous statement that the
