ocoEEs DEpLoRABLE AFFAIR

(Orlando Reporter Starr
The deplorable occurrence at Ocoee
Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing should be taken severely to heart
by the negroes of this section.
1t shows the determined attitude of
the white people of this community to
keep it white mans section.
There is no one in Orange county
who would not have given his all to
have that occurrence averted. The
killing of two white citizens, as well
as the innocent negroes, is lamented
by the entire community.
But back of it all there is a lesson.
For months there have been disturb
ing elements afoat among the ne
groes. Newspapers printed by negro
organs, and others by unprincipled
whites, have had wide circulation
here. Their news was of nature to
cause discomfort and promote strife
Their doctrine of social equality has
10 place in the South. The negro
must know his place and keep it, and
as long as he behaves himself and
keeps his place, he will be protected
mot only by the authorities, but by
individuals as WELL
The sane negroes of this community
should see to it that these new up,
starts, laboring under the anticipa
tons of change in the government
should have the proper curb put tt
them. Orange county needs its negro
population, but needs only good ne
groes; others had better leave before
they are sent away under unfavorabl,
circumstances.
i The most deplorable part of thest
incidents is that the innocent suffe1
along with the guilty. Weed out tn,
chaff in your ranks and make sucl
occurrences impossible. Stop loafng
lget to work and keep out of mischief
land there will be no cause to com
plain of the treatment afforded by tn
white population of Orange county.
/ Now that the disturbance in tn
western section of the county ha
come to an end, all citizens should for
get it as soon as possible. Those ne
groes who had no part in it SHOULD
not be punished for the sins of thei
brothers.

The Star greatly regrets the trou-
bic at Ocoee. in Orange county. It
will be eagerly seized upon by the en-
emies of the South and held up as an
instance of Southern race hate by the
people who have forgotten about the
occurrences in Washington city, East
st. Louis, Chicago and Omaha. How
ever, the white man must rule in his
state, or his state will become unbear-
able, and when negroes band them
selves together, arm with highpower-
ed rifles and lay in large stocks OF
ammunition, there is always certain
to be trouble, and the negro will al
ways get the worst of it. White men
keep their ammunition in the stores;
the average white man with a reyol-
yer or rifle seldom has more than q
box of cartridges in his home; and d
he has a shotgun he almost always

had better observe the same policy.
We have very little doubt that the
trouble at Ocoee was caused by white
republican politicians and seditious
literature sent in from. the north.
The southhaters will be booking the
negro who started the trouble as a
martyr, but he was more likely the
victim of their prejudice against their
own race.

FORCED TO CLOSE

Causes Decision; Special
Class Will Continue.

Public night schools Of the District

| thousands of students. many Of them
adult government employees. Will have
their studies cut short. This action
was definitely decided today by Su.
pArintendent Of Schools Thurston and
Walter B. Patterson. director Of night
schools. when it was learned the ap-
pfopriation for operation Is nearly
exhausted.
Plans will be made. however. at q
conference in the supertntendent's Of
nee this afternoon between sup. r..
Patterson and, heads Of the night
schools to consolidate a number OF
TIE students taking special courses
tNt0 one or two classes. which VIII 6e
operated until June. The exact date
wfu be, decided, although Mr.. Thurs
| be i2ltpoaei616 to operate them altar
this week on the present funds.

The object Of consolidating the stu
dents taking special courses into one or
two classes Is to permit them to OBJ
tain the nine-month attendance creoats
1t Is said. will not accept night school
students taking courses Of less than
nine months duration.
The appropriation OF $4,000 granted
the night schools in the second def-
cheney appropriation bill has been virtu-
ally exhausted Only about $4,000 re-
mains Of this amount, showing that It
costs approximately $1,000 month to
operate the system. With the remain
ing 5000, school officials hope to con-
! duct the special merit classes until
June l.
ARects Nearly 1O.es0 students.
Loss Of the services Of these institu-
tions, which have been characterized by
Mr.. Patterson as "beehives Of industry"
will be felt by nearly the entire enroll
ment Of 10000. A few Of this number.
| however, will be benefited by the opera
| ton of the special classes.
This enrolment marks the highest
| point in the history of the night school
! service. At the beginning OF the war
with Germany the enrolment immedi-
ately increased when hundreds of war
workers took advantage Of the night
service. So popular did the schools be-
come, that the classes in some Of the
schools were extended from three to six
nights a week. and have been operating
since that time with almost full at
| tendance.
Plans for continuing the operation of
special classes until June 1, by the
school officials at the conference this
afternoon. will be submitted for approx
al to the board Of education at its meet
ing Wednesday afternoon.
