pie of the city here recently Henry

against his race, and in his own
words: Agitation for such an ordi-
nance VIII create. race prejudice and
cause cause race friction, and, engender

The Colored people have drawn UP
set Of resolutions which have been
presented to the chamber Of commerce.
These resolutions were adopted by
their own society of the city.
No IdIerH.
In discussing the situation, Henry
Dodson stated that out OF 80 or more
Colored people in this city, not one
of them has been idle; in fact that
every man and woman OF them is a
worker. He further announces that 10
of their number possess property here
aggregating 100000 In value, and he
points to the fact that none of this
property Is mortgaged. He said that
one Of their number is a local bank
director.
Dodson thinks that the Colored
people here have been farsighted In
their dealings with the white people
in avoiding race animosity. He cites
an instance where the Colored people
had a chance to buy religious meet
ing house which was valued at $1,000
but could De bought for the sum of
$4,000 Dodson states that because the
church building was In a white neigh
borhood, their society would not con-
slider buying the place even at the re-
duced figure. Dodson believes that his
people are willing at all times TO
avoid any race friction, but insists
that by creating a segregated district

and whites.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala, Feb. 3.-In
annual session here the 30th Tusko-
gee Negro conference founded by the
late Booker T. Washington. adopted
a declaration of policy for the race
which among other things urges Ne
gro tenant farmers to grow their own
foodstuffs, practice economy and thus
be able TO get along with as small
advances as possible.
PlanterB and landlords are urged to
make renting conditions as favorable
tenants to have gardens, cows. hogs
and poultry land in order to keep
tenants contented and satisfied that
living conditions be improved, better
dwellings, be furnished, better school
houses provided with longer school
terms and better paid teachers
THE question of law and order is
one of the most important things
which concerns the Negro in the
SOUTH" the policy declaration says:
"As stated in our declarations of years
ago, this conference asks for negroes
only what the courts above all agen-
cies should give-impartial justice. If
Negroes commit crimes let them be
punished by the courts and not, by
mobs 1t is largely the lack
of protection under the law that is
driving many Negroes out of the ru-
raj districts
The conference commends to the
Negro race the movement now going
on to establish better racial relations
mittee is heartily endorsed, with re-
quest that inter-racial Sunday, Jam
uary 23, be observed. Dealing with
the financing of Negro farmers the
