BLACKS FLEEING
FROM GEORGIA SAY
LATEST REPORTS
(Ry The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 27-Negroes are
fleeing from Hall county. Race dis
turbances have been frequent in this
section of the state for sometime
past. This condition has led to much
controversy as to the best means to
ease the situation. The whites de-
cided that only drastic methods could
be successfully used because the Ne
groes were determined to fight the
issue to a finish.
This conclusion developed into a
wholesale disarming OF the Negro
population. This was accomplished
by the issuing of a general search
order of the homes and a confisca-
tion of all firearms thus discovered.
Then a 'nigger drive was opened
and the colored people forced to flee
to other parts. Gainesville has gained
in Negro population as result and
chaos is prevailing in that section
as one of the results.
The governor has been asked to
take steps to relieve the situation.
Up to this time he has evinced no
interest in the matter.

Buffalo, N. Y, JAN 27-A few

of Frederick Douglass had been re-
jected for the Hall of Fame and
many of our men and women felt
very bad because this illustrious man
had not been chosen We have the
opportunity to place his name forever
in the Hall of Fame at Anacostia,
D. c., by making his home so beau
tiful that visitors from all over the
world will make a beaten path to

Four years ago the trustee board
of the Douglass Memorial Home
sought the help of the National AS
sociation of Colored Women and in
ten months we paid off the mortgage
and saved the home from ANY fur
ther embarrassment We al not
restore, we simply redeemed, then
the war came on and we could not
finish the job. 1t called for $4,000
for restoration, and during these
years, in addition to wiping off the
mortgage, we have raised an addi-
tional sum towards the restoration
of $4,000. To completely restore the
home, at least $4,000 is needed, and
today we are sending out what we
hope will be the last appeal to club
women and race men and women to
fittingly celebrate the birthday of
our illustrious Douglass by appro-
pirate. exercises, and by raising as
large a sum as possible.
Every organization or individual
that contributes $25.OO will have their
names written upon the parchment
that will hang forever upon the walls
of the home, thus showing to our
children the names of men and

MASONRY INCREASES
RELIGIOUS DEVOTION
SENATOR HARDING
(Hy The Associated Negro Press)

(6y The Associated Negro Press)
Marion, Ohio, Jan. 21.-President-
elect Harding has chosen the biblical
text upon which he will take the oath
of office as president Of the United
States. He will ask that the same
bible which George Washington used
be opened at Micah, 9th chapter and
Sth verse, which reads:
He hath showed thee, o man, what
is good; and what doth the Lord
require Of thee but to do justly, and
to love mercy. and to walk humbly
with thy God"
Senator Harding's thoughts have
been much upon the bible of late.
He commented last night upon the
fact in the taking OF numerous de-
grees in masonry in the last two
weeks he has been surrounded by a
particularly solemn religious atmo-
sphere. He affirmed his belief in the
efficacy of prayer and predicted that
prayer will help him with the prob
lens that are before him in the
White House.
During the last ten days" he said
81 have been taken far back into the
story of the creation and l have
found it adding to my sense Of re-
ligious devotion Prayer grips the
heart and adds to ones confidence
81 believe in prayer I believe in
prayer in the closet, for there one
faces God alone. Many times the
spoken prayer is only for ones ears
l can understand how those prophets
of old in their perpiexities. problems,
perturbations and anxieties, found
courage and strength when they gave
their hearts to the Great Qmnipotent
in prayer.
How many things there are in
scripture that we in our worldliness
never discover.
AFTER all, men are much alike.
God made us all in the same image
and there is no difference in us
except as We have developed, or
when the weight of responsibility is
shouldered upon u.s. Then God makes
human beings awake.
"The government of this republic
has been adrift, and the inevitable
result has followed. But l am not
afraid, for l know through courtesy
confidence and close adherence to
justice one will have at his call the
great minds and intellects in this
great republic and with their truth,
advice and direction, we cannot go
wrong"

SOUTH and NORTH
Will BE UNITED
UNDER HARDING
(By The Associated Negro Press

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. c., Jan. Eft have
no message to the people of the
South that l would not utter to all
the United States" This is the
heart motif of the message which
President-elect Harding has written
at the behest of Clark Howell, editor
of the Atlanta Constitution, to the
South.
Mr.. Howell, it appears, is one of
the prominent Southern men who is
very anxious that a genuinely new
era shall be opened for the southland
The Howell type of Southern affects
to be heartily tired OF the present
tangled situation which, they say, is
operating to the great economic and
business disadvantage of their Sec
tion of the country.
The race problem" is, of course.
at the bottom of the entire situation.
This is acknowledged on all sides by
all compilations of men. What is
the Republican party going to do
about the South's fears in relation
to the loudly expressed ambitions of
its present-day Negro citizens?" is
the question uppermost in the minds
OF all Southerns. Hence the request
of the editor of the Constitution. He,
with other white Southerners want
to know and want to know so sincere
ly that they can literally taste it.
Mr.. Harding's message has not
evaded the direct question, it is de.
clared by prominent men here, black
and white, but, in his effort he has
clearly called to the attention of the
South the fact that the problems of
the country are not sectional in
character but apply, with equal force
to all the country. Lets all pull
together he says. LET us have
oneness of Americanism," de declares
in another instance Of the message"
In the matter OF Southern appoint
ment, Mr.. Taft is the only leading
Republican who has worried himself
with the fear that Mr.. Harding may
so far forget the Southern tradition
that he will appoint Negroes to first
class federal positions in the South
Why, no one has been able to answer
intelligently. Up to date the presi-
dent-elect has said nothing which
would indicate his attitude in the
matter of appointments outside of his
cabinet, and good deal Of this has
been Of a tentative nature.
Henry Lincoln Johnson is on the
ground, but he has nothing to say
about the question OF appointments.
Henry Lincoln may be playing "pos-
sum'-no one knows But he is
keeping mum. just the same, and
saving wood, maybe. DR.. Emmett
Scott declared he is not in politics
and therefore has nothing to say
about appointments. In fact every
body is up in the air on this all
important point and the result is a
political fog so dense and thick one
can almost cut it with a knife.

ian had four times overwhelmingly
defeated the greatest military nation
of the ancient world. Historians
agree that Hannibal was one of the
greatest generals of the world.
The work of the Labor Battalions
should receive great commentator.
At Breast the American army sub
mitted plans of warehouse to be
built of cement on the docks The
French government and their engi-
neers said it would take them nine
months to build the same; this was
too long for the army to wait, so they
put the Colored Labor Battalion TO
work and in six weeks they had fin
ished the building that the French
claimed they could not build in less
than nine months.
After the war was over the Labor
Battalions had to police up the battle
fields. One of the many duties they
had was digging up the dead bodies,
making coffins for the same and then
burying them in the burial grounds
set apart for them. In digging up the
bodies sometimes it would be whole,
body, sometimes parts of a body, and
in great many cases only shovelful
of decomposed matter This awful
task was carried on day in and day
out, rain or shine, until all the dead
had teen properly buried
The Labor Battalion, or Service Bat
TALON, as they were called over there,
were the first of our soldiers to land
in France and among the last to leave,
but not being numbered among tie
combating forces they will receive no
mention in history, although they de-
serve as much credit for helping to
win the war as the combating forces.
1t was through their gallant work the
boys on the front were kept in sup
plies and ammunition Before the
armistice was signed the boys at Brest
and Saint Nazaire, the two seaports
where the American supplies were
handled, had what they called a race
for Berlin. The test was to see who
in a given time could unload the most
cargo from the ships and load it on
trains and send it to the front
The boys at Saint Nazaire handled
more hundredweight of freight in one
week than the French had ever
handled in that port in one year.
The secret of their great achieve
ment was organization. If the people
of Phoenix will support their organiza
! tions a world of good can be accom-
pilshede towards the uplifting of our
group, thus making better homes and
! better school facilities, and citizen
ship that will be a power for good in
Phoenix.
There is a great need here for q
Community House where the physical
social and moral welfare of our boys
and girls can be properly developed
along these lines.
Attorney Watkins spoke under thc
auspices of the Phoenix Protective
League The audience was wei
pleased with his remarks.
