tricts. Recently, nine men were indict-
ed and put on trial at Camilla for the
murder of wealthy farmer. At the
time in Baker county and in Mitchell
county, in a radius of fifteen miles sur
rounding Camilla, mobs of white men
secured the country, breaking up all
meetings among colored people.
At the church in this town the mob
staged a demonstration on Sunday.
The pastor had announced the hymn
for the morning, when the leaders of
the band battered their way past the
ushers, swooped down upon the pulpit
and, with a flourish of guns, ordered
everybody out of the church. For
weeks they have not allowed any
church services to be held. After
breaking up church meetings, they
have gone to the home of the preach
ers and warned them not to talk to the
people. There are many prosperous
farmers here who have been let
ting the outside world know what is
happening to them.

NEGRO BUSINESS BETTER THAN
WHITE.

New Orleans, La.-New Orleans re-
fail trade for April measured in dollar
volume, was 17.3 per cent less than the
same month last year, and the city's
trade for the first four months of this
wear was only 40 per cent less than
for the same period of 1920, according
to the Monthly Business Review, just
issued by the Federal Reserve Bank
for the Sixth district. Considering
price changes Il larger volume of goods
is being handled on the retail market
here now than when the country was
said to be amidst of an orgey of eX-
travagance last year.
The report shows a very perceptible
decrease in sales all over the district,
both in the wholesale and retail lines
for April, compared with March, eN-
cepting among Negro retail dealers.
The retail business enterprises among
Negroes was increased more than 80
per cent during the past year In New
Orleans the wholesale trade measured
nearly 30 per cent below the trade of
April, 1920 and an average in all lines
of approximately 10 per cent below the
tically every other city in the district
shows greater decrease for the
month, but only few show greater
compared with last year.

MANY TO TAKE TRIPS TO AFRI-

Philadelphia, Pa, June 6.-1nterest
in the cruise to Liberia which will be-
gin December 3, IS becoming so wide
spread that serious arrangements are
under way by the committee to in
crease the number who may go from
three to four hundred. The cruise, Of
which Dr. w. II. Jernagin, of Washing
ton is head, and Major William H
York, 529 South Nineteenth street,
Philadelphia, is manager, is being ar
ranged for by the American Travel
Club of Baltimore, an organization that
handles world tours. This announce
ment is made because of the impress
sion that has entered some places that
the tour is under the direction of the
Garvey movement. On this subject,
DR.. Jernagin said: The Garyey
movement has no official connection
with the cruise whatever, although
there are a number who are interested
in that movement who will make the
cruise as n matter of interest"
There has never been a tour of col
ored Americans planned on such gi-
gantic scale, and the great ocean liner
that will be the home of the tourists
during the trip, has already been char
tered, the luXuries and appointments
of it being an inspiration.

THE NEGRO
IN GEORGIA

Every intelligent, loyal American cit
izen should read carefully and take
seriously to heart every fearless word
that Governor Dorsey has written in
"The Negro in Georgia." a statement
addressed to the conference of citizens
which was called to meet in Atlanta
to consider 1.-The Negro lynched, the Ne
gro held in peonage, the Negro driven
out by organized lawlessness, and the
Negro subject to individual acts of
crueltX;" because, in the last analysis,
every citizen is morally responsible for
the present-day ruthless exploitation of
ignorant, handicapped, helpless people,
and because every citizen can and
should make some contribution to the
reshaping of public opinion in the in
terest of promoting law and order, a
square deal for everybody, and a pro-
gram of social justice, which can be
none other than a program of applied
Christianity.
Governor Dorsey has taken brave
stand. He has the support of the best
white and colored citizens of Georgia.
He needs, however, the moral support
of every citizen in every state. Georgia
is headed toward better day, because
Georgia has been willing to begin to
cut out the social cancerous growth.
Georgia's experience is not only a
warning, but also an example. Citizens
of all the States will do well to help
clean house at home, for every State
has some fostering sore to cure rather
than to conceal. Georgia's citizens
white and colored, for the revelations
have been made possible through inter-
racial cooperation and goodwill
should be supported at this critical
period for the safety of all good citi-

JUSTICE FOR
THE NEGRO

In an address to Hampton students,
Ex-Governor Beckett of North Carolina
spoke as follows:
"The Negro is entitled to equal and
exact justice before the law. The
white man must accord him that jus
tlce or be false to all those traditions
which have made the Anglo-Saxon race
the glory of the world.
Sentiment against mob law is stead
lily growing in North Carolina. Dur
ing my administration 1 preached
against it and 1 fought against it. 1
rushed troops to protect prisoners,
leaders of mobs were indicted and con-
victed, and l personally walked right
into a mob that had its guns drawn on
me and persuaded it to abandon its
purpose. During my administration
only one person was lynched after he
had been taken into the custody of the
law
Ha,uch work was also done to build
up the Negro along physical, moral,
for delinquent Negro boys was estab-
lished, a sanatorium for the treatment
of Negroes afflicted with tuberculosis
was provided for, and the appropria-
tion for Negro teacher-training schools
was multiplied by five.
Much was also done to build up a
strong public sentiment for better ac-
commodations on the trains. When a
Negro pays the same money, he is en-
titled to ride in car as safe, as clean,
and as comfortable as the white man
rides in. Law already requires this
and you will find the good people of
the South everlastingly with you in in
sisting upon its efficient administra-
tion."-Southern Workman

TT HE citizens of Denver arose TO a
l. great occasion last Sunday night
when Shorter Church was crowded TO
the doors in joint meeting of the
Denver Colored Civic Association and
the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. T.
p. It was a meeting called to aid the
victims and sufferers at Tulsa as well
as the flood victims at Pueblo.
Long before the hour for opening
the services, crowds poured into the
church, showing that the hearts OF the
people are right whenever disaster
overtakes fellow beings.
Major Thos. Campbell, president Oh
the Colored Civic Association, opened
the meeting and introduced Mr.. Geo.
w. Gross, who presided during the
evening. The first speaker was MISS
q. Mable Andrews, n Denver girl who
has taught in the Tulsa schools FOR Il
number of years. Her recital of the
awful scenes and conditions prevalent
during the Tulsa riots was both graph
ic and heart-rending. Miss Andrews
has an easy manner on the PLATFORM
and as all Denver knows and loves her,
the most rapt attention was given ev-
cry word. 1t was with greatest dittl-
Guilty that many present were enabled
to hold back the tears.
Mr.. A. J. Howard, a prominent ana
wealthy citizen from Jackson, Miss
and who is a substantial property own
er in this city, was the next speaker.
He swayed the large audience to a
high pitch by his calm, pointed re-
marks, supplemented with spirit OF
earnestness that was appealing to all
That Mr.. Howard voiced the senti-
ments of all present was manifested
by the liberal applause that frequently
punctuated his remarks.
Attorney S. E. Cary was then called
upon TO read the resolutions drafted
nv the committee, making an appeal to
Senators Phipps and Nicholson TO use
the limit of their powers in seeking
out the guilty ones in the Tulsa rlots'
THE resolutions were strongly drawn
and adopted by rising vote. by way
of a preface to reading the resolutions
Mr.. Cary drifted into an address that
was one of the most forceful ana elo-
ouent that we have ever heard him
make. Having spent five weeks IN ana
near Tulsa Just before the horriple out
break he was enabled to speak with
interesting authority on the situatloh
lust as he finished his address, Rev.
T s. Wilson, pastor of Campbell A. NJ
e Church. came in from a visit TO the
stricken Pueblo district and. was at
once called upon for an address. he
oove tbe audience a vivid account OF
the destruction wrought in Pueblo tn'it
far exceeded the imagination ana Tears
of anyone present.
During his remarks pin dropped
would have been heard all over the
churcb with its vast audience. 1t was
n moment of gripping tenseness ana
sorrow. 1t was an occasion and scene
never to be forgotten.
Major Campbell than followed Ill

union formed for n common good by
the Civic Association with the local
N. A. A. G. P.
When Rev. w. H Thomas called for
an offering in behalf of the sufferers
of Tulsa and Pueblo the response was
instantaneous. A sum of $266,2S was
raised and a check for S133.14 mailed
to the n. A. A. c. P. and to the Pueblo
