MEMORIAL BUILDING.
To the Colored Men and
Women Of South Carolina
Who Rendered Service in
World War.

The legislature of South Carolina,
at the 1919 session, made an appro-
priation of 100000 for memorial
building to be erected on the campus
Of the State College at Orangeburg
in honor of the Colored soldiers,
sailors, nurses and other workers of
the State who rendered service in
winning the great worlds war.
1t is expected that the Colored peo-
pie will raise a similar amount
(100,000) to cooperate with the
movement and provide funds for
equipping the building with the nee
essary arcoves to contain books,
tablets, manuscripts and other re-
cords of the war, its purpose and
achievements.
The drive to raise this 100000 was
begun November 1, with the hope
that it would be completed by the
30th. Owing to many Interruptions,
and delays it has been decided to
continue the work of raising the
fund until June, 1920. The commis-
sioner is urgently asking the Col
ored people to cooperate in the
movement, and that volunteers for
service on the various county cam
paign committees be made. Eacn
county is expected to raise a GER

there was only one arrest for every

average in the general community

lation in the rest of the city"
The Rockefeller and Carnegie foun-
dations and experts from Canada

SOLIDARITY In POLITICS
NEW SLOGAN OF NEGRO.
Will Ask For What is Justly
His Plank Of 1920 - Plat
form Must Relate to His
Welfare.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-In a political
way, 1920 will be the highwater year
for the Colored people OF the United
States. There will be more inde-
pendent thinking and independent
action this year than ever before.
Among the most significant moves
in a political way is the determine
ton in districts of New York and
ST. Louis to enter a Colored can
didate for a member of Congress.
This situation is brought about by
the large increase in voters from
the South, and the belief, in as
much as the respective districts are
largely controlled by our voters, that
to be truly representative, a mem
Der of the race should be given one
of the desired seats. There is also
talk of entering candidates in Chic
ago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and Kan
sas City. AS matter of fact, the
Citizens Liberty League. 3137 Pine
St, contemplates promoting their
work into a national organization
for the purpose of pushing the con-
gressional contests all over the coun-
try. as well as other political recog-
milton in districts where the people
have been getting simply the crumbs
instead of regular slice of the po-
litical bread.

tivity. Their League has formed a

Especial Correspondence by
A. l.. HOLSEY.

Tuskegee, Ala, Jan. 15.-One
of the most notable groups ever
gathered at Tuskegee Institute was
the joint session of the Phelps
Stokes Fellows and the University
Races Commission which met here
January 5th, 9Th and 7th.
The Phelps Stokes Fellows.
The Phelps Stokes Fellows are
young men and women students
attending the Universities of Geor-
gia and Virginia whose expenses
are being paid by the Phelps
Stokes Fund. They are carefully
selected students who are making
a special study of some phase of
the Negro problem as a part of
their work in Sociology. They are
all required to prepare a mono
graph on the subject which they
pursue.
This work was made possible
through the generosity of Miss
Caroline Phelps Stokes who has
been for many years warm sup
porter of Tuskegee Institute and
of Negro education and progress.
The Trustees of the Phelps
Stokes Fund, therefore, of which
DR.. Thomas Jesse Jones is the Exc
cutive officer, decided that one of
the BEST and most practical meth
DDS of improving the Negro con-
dition would be to give young
Southern white men of broad SYM
pathies and opportunity of study
ing Negro life. AS result, Phelps
Stokes Fellowships have been es-
tablished in the University of Geor-
gia at Athens and the University
of Virginia at Charlottesville.
The University Race Commission.
The University Race Commission
is composed of representatives of
eleven Southern Universities, usual
ly professors of Sociology, who have
banded themselves together for the
purposes of studying the Negro
problem in their classes and meet
ing once each year to exchange
ideas. The Commission issues once
a year a message to the country
on race relations which is widely
quoted and discussed.
The message last years in lynch
ing was one of the outstanding

documents of the year. DR.. Jamer
