NEGROES CHARGE
UNFAIR TACTICS

Tuskegee, Ala, Jan. 21.-Reaf-
'firming its opposition to the alleged
discrimination practiced by, railroads
and othere common carriers and hold
ing as indefensible the practice of
charging negroes first class fare and
providing them with third and fourth
class Accommodations, the declarations
of the 29th annual negro conference
at Tuskegee were adopted here today
following addresses by prominent
white men as we'll as negro workers
gathered for session.
Lynching is deplored and it's prac-
tice held as "cure for nothing" If
negroes commit crimes, they should
be punished by the courts, but not bv
by lynching," the declaration set
forth. Insistence on better and fair
er methods for adjusting many of
the ordinary differences between
the races is voiced and the white
negro leaders in every community

ever heard" he said, "of Sardanapa-
lus having whole Boar brought
in and placed upon the table wearing
a cap, and with a basket of almonds
hanging on one tusk, and a basket
of dates hanging on the other, and
with a whole bed full of pigs, made
out of sweet meats, lying about the
Boar, the latter to be carried home
by the guests" 81 believe" he said,
"that it is a great thing at banquet
for the host to furnish a good deal
for the guests to carry home with
them" Neither was a hog ever
carved in the side by Sardanapalus,
whereupon twelve blackbirds flew
out. Neither did he ever introduce
a service of venison, slain in the
chase, by having a pack of beagle
hounds run around the table where
the guests sat to give you the hunts
mans idea. Sardanapalus, it seems
to me, must have been strong on
style and fancy eating for the ladies,
but Trimalchio was a dinner giver
after my own heart, as is Jim Nc
MILAN. So here's hoping that we
shall soon meet here again. I would
like to say in conclusion that both
Jim and Trimalchio must have
bought their furniture from good
dealers else it would not have stood
up under the many and plentiful
dishes displayed by them for the
benefit of their guests"
81 cannot close, however," he said,
"without also relating that Trimal-
chic was a great orator. He always
spoke most of the time at his ban
quets, and had his speeches taken
down by his stenographer, Petronius
Arbiter. Jim is not an orator, but I
am and l am doing the Grating for
him, and what l have to say will be

cluded an agreement with certain
Baltic states, including Esthonia,
whereby they will act as agents for
the disposition in western Europe Of
the entire timber productions of
these countries for the next Is years
and in return for undertaking and
financing this enormous contract, it
is reported that these agency inter-
ests will be given a monopoly of flax
and her raw materials in the coun-
tries interest.
Our admiration of the trade ability
of the British people is very great.
In spite of tremendous difficulties
at home, they are reaching out, with
government aid into new markets.
They are making extraordinary eff
forts to hold on to their old mar
kets. Moreover, their long expert
ences in world trade has made them
adopts in international business.
There is nothing, therefore, more
fallicious than the idea which some
Americans seem to have, that all the
other peoples of the world are COM
pletely prostrated, that our domi-
nance of markets everywhere, de-
pcnds simply on our willingness to
take control. So far is this from be-
ing true that we have in fact to figh.
for everything we expect to get here
aftcr. 1t is true that for a few years
things may be comparatively easy
while foreign production is being
brought back to normal, but out
permanent participation in overseas
markets will depend on our skill,
our initiative, our energy and our
determination.
Wise is that manufacturer who re-
fuses to be deluded by present con-
ditions, and is laying his plans, not
merely to secure a temporary for
eign trade, but to build up a foreign
business that will endure. =.

re urged to cooperate and help
make the South the finest example
n the world of people of different
aces living together in mutual re-
pect and helpfulness.
Members of the race are urged to
profit by lessons of industry and
thrift so effectively taught during
the war, and the negro farmers are
especially urged to grow sufficient
food for their families, for their
stock and to raise more and better
poultry, hogs and cattle. Increased
values of farm products and wages
which negro men are now enjoying
should result, the conference holds,
in better homes, schools anG church.
"And even with better homes, there
can be no assured or abiding pro-
gress without a decided increase in
the intelligence among the masses of
the colored people," :,
The conference suggests to plant
ers that they offer more favorable
renting conditions to their negro ten
ants, that they make regular stated
settlements and provide them with
more comfortable homes, and all
people are called upon to supply
houses for negroes with more sani-
tary surroundings that they may
have a chance to live and rear their
families in decency and health.
Attention is directed I to the part
the negro played in the world war
and the period of unrest that has
followed in it's wake. ''The South is
that section of thecountry," the de-
claration says, "most free from
organized disorder and yelled attacks
lagainst the government and society
due in no small measure to the fact
that the mass of labor to whom love
of country is dominant"

Major Fulp was allowed to win again,
as he has fine turkey.
When the hour for departure had
about come, and the guests were as
sembled to bid the host goodnight,
Corp. Keer stepped to the front, and
"craved" he said "the indulgence of
the audience" while he made a few
brief remarks. He stated that he
wished to concur with all that had
been said in the Press and Banner
about the feasts spread by his neigh
Dor, Col. T. G. White, and his old
friend, Sardanapalus. But he stated
that the Press and Banner either un-
thoughtedly or through ignorance had
failed to mention all the great feast
and banquet makers recorded in his
tory, and while not intending in any
way to cast any reflections on Col.
White and King Sardanapalus, he
wished to keep the record straight
and say that there were three other
great dinner givers in history who
should have been mentioned, and
whom he now proposed to mention.
Their names he said were, Belshaz-
Ear, Trimalchio and Jim Mcmillan.
'The present company, he said, 'be-
ing Bible students, are we'll ac-
quainted with Belshazzar, and we
have all been here this evening and 1
take it that you are all acquainted
with banqueter Mcmillan, but 1
would like" he said, "to have a word
about Trimalchio."

feast on peafowl gizzards, and hun-
ming-bird brains as did Sardanapa-
lus," he said, "but what is that kind

WITH THE PLAYERS.

"Let's do what we can,
This life's but span,
Exposed to trouble and sorrow;
Then drink my good friends, =.
Fer our merriment ends,
For we may be dead by tomorrow"
As previously foretold in the set
back news in this paper, Col. James
L. Mcmillan, of Magazine Street, en-
tertained twenty-four of his setback
friends at regulation setback dinner
Tuesday evening, and the evening was
one of great enjoyment to all who
were fortunate enough to be able to
attend.
Disregarding the requests of the
Corps. Kerr and Barnwell as con-
tanned in our previous issue, Col. Nc
MILAN forced these amateurs to go
up against Col. Thomas Thomson, Of
Long Cane, and Capt. Jack Perrin,
with the result that when the game
was over it was not the latter who
felt like they had waded the stream
when it was up, and we're then on the
other side from home.
Col. Pat Roche was in evidence as
usual, the evidence being spelled
with capital "E." He had as his
partner his old friend and fellow
suffer, Uncle Jim Stark, playing
with whom Col. Roche had said on a
former occasion is mot only pleas
ure but an education" At the con-
clusion of the games, Col. Roche said
he would not take back anything he
had said about Uncle Jim, but that
there was such thing as too much
education sometimes.

taken down by the stenographer of
the Press and Banner. Among other
things which Trimalchio said was
this: "When the pot no longer Boyls,
and a mans estate declines, farewell
friends" For the benefit of the gen.
tlemen present I would urge that
they all prepare to put the pots to
boiling, and if Bill Wilson does not
soon give a party everybody will
think he is getting poor, and his
friends will shake him. A word to the
wise is sufficient"

EUROPEAN TRADE ACTIVITY
Manufacturers Record, Baltimore,
Md

Md
When the Treasury Department
announced that the financial neces-
sites of Europe were greatly exag-
gerated, probably it was giving at
tention to the very pronounced activ-
ity in trade extension which is noted
not only in the neutral countries of
Europe but also among the recent
belligerants particularly Great Bri-
tain.
Titanic have been the efforts of
the British Empire during the war,
it must not be forgotten that the En-
pire is a colossus, more powerful
than any government which ever
preceded it, and long, long way
from bankruptcy. The low cost of
the British pound in American dol
lars does not mean that the British
people have lost their genius for
trade. 1t simply seems that there has
not yet been time to bring about
the readjustments made necessary
by the war.

interests of Importance have con-

Strong Appeal to Vote
League Is Made by
Committee Head.

New York, Nov. 1.-George White,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, Monday night addressed
final appeal to the Republican voters"
urging them, when they enter the polls
Tuesday to ask themselves this question:
Have the Republican party more claim
on me than the peace of the world?
Shall / permit the mistakes of party
leaders to sacrifice the league of ma
Jtions?"
ITO this question: said Mr. White,
there is but one answer in the hearts of
the millions Of patriotic men and women
who make up the Republican party. 1t
is no.
And yet the Republican party mana
gers and senator's are asking voters to
sacrifice world peace for party politics.
Senator Harding has finally and deriant .
and the senate leaders, rejecting the
league, whatever reservations are pro-
posed and accepted. junking the treaty
of Versailles, rendering to Germany
separate peace and SUNNI oning another
peace conference. This is the inevitable
course which he must follow, since he
has stated that he will not e-submt the
treaty and the covenant to the senate
Even if he should be able to induce
the Al nations now signatory to the
treaty to tear it up and frame another
it would require at least two years be-
fore another peace could be ratified and
it is generally admitted by such eminent
international authorities as Messrs. Taft
and Root that what Senator Harding
proposes is impossible. Therefore, we
shall have the treaty and the league de-
stroyed. separate peace with Germany
and militarists as free to prey ON human
kingdom as they were in 1914
Republican veters have the power
to prevent this. They have the power
to save their own party from the com
mon fate and general menace of war
which the election of Senator Harding
will engender" Il
