DR.. R. R. MOTION MAKES
WONDERFUL Speech
In Old ALAB A NJ A

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Montgomery, Ala, April 14.-At the
recent meeting of the Alabama Teach
ers' Association, which was held, in
this city, one of the sessions was de-
voted to discussions on race relations
by white and colored citizens. The
principal speaker on this occasion was
DR.. R. R. Motion, Principal of Tuske
gee Institute. Dr. Motion spoke with
the utmost frankness on this subject,
plainly and forcibly, and was applaud
ed frequently by the members of both
races. He referred to the necessity of
frankness and confidence on the part
of each race in the solution of the
race problem and set forth the con-
ditions which to his mind caused the
most friction, at the same time ex-
planning some of the things that were
in the back of the heads of the Ne
groes." Among other things DR.. Motion
said:
81 know one of the chief reasons
why Negroes are not always as frank
in discussing matters of discrimination
and injustice with white people as they
might be. They are afraid that these
people will Immediately jump to the
conclusion that they are arguing for
social equality which is the most
misused and confused expression in
all discussions of race relations. Let
me say with all emphasis possible, that
not one Negro in ten thousand ever
raised the question of social equality
What they want is equal protection
equal civic rights, equal opportunity
and equal educational facilities. Ne
groes do not object to legal segrega-
ton because they want to be with white
people, but because it places upon
them and their children ty law
badge of inferiority which carries with
it inferior treatment and opportunities.
In asking for the change of these con-
ditions and the things to which have
referred, he is not asking for any
special privilege, for if democracy
means anything at all it means equal
opportunity, protection and rights for
every citizen. And am glad to say
that there is a large group, which is
rapidly increasing in number, of the
best people of the South who working
together that the Negro might be ac-
corded his rights, and live in peace
and security may thereby be enabled
to contribute their fullest share to-
wards the highest development of the
South"

BENEFIT TO BE GIVEN
UNENPL LOYED BLACKS
OF CHICAGO soon
(By The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Chicago, ILL.,, April 14.-Reports
that have gone out to the press through
out the country are decidedly mis-
leading in the statements that an alb
normal number of the colored people
who have come into the North looking
for work have been grossly deceived.
What is true is that a considerable
number of industrial workers have
been compelled to bow to the labor de-
preston brought about by the needs
and complications OF readjustment.
This situation, however, included
whites as well as the colored people
engaged in industrial pursuits.
For the colored unemployed color
ed citizens committee is successfully
solving the problem ly monster beni-
fit, to be given in the Sth Regiment
Armory on the night of the 18th of
April The citizens at large are re-
spending cheerfully to the call of the
committee. Even the leading feminine
members Of the famed Lafayette Play
ers are actively engaged in the ticke
selling campaign now well under way
Laura Bowman, Susie Sutton. Ida An
derson and Alice Gorgas come out

nightly at the Avenue Theater during
the intermissions between the acts
and sell tickets for the benefit.
The benefit promises to be a big
success William A. Buckner, former
trainer for the white Sox" American
League Baseball team, Claude A. Bar
nett and the Chicago DEFENDER are
among the managers OF the benefit.
The entire proceeds are to lie used in
the purchase and distribution of food

White women Will
OPPOSE APPOINTMENT
OF negro REGISTRAR
CBy The Associated Negro Press)

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. c., April 14.-Mem-
bers of Congress to day received copies
of a petition, addressed to Mrs. Vir-
ginia White Speel, chairman of the
National Womans Republican M
mittee of the District of Co nbia,
and signed by sos white women en-
ployed in the office of the Register of
the Treasury, opposing the appoint
ment of a Negro as Register
I'VE have been definitely informed"
the signers of the petition declared,
that the appointment of colored man
as Register OF the Treasurer is being
considered.
"The Registers office is now very
large and is doing responsible work
Its personnel consists of more than
900 clerks, mostly, ,ex-service men and
white women, who are dependent upon
their income here for support For
Negro to have jurisdiction over these
ClSIhS WOulu U6 luJOI6TdUle.
1T is TRUE that colored men have
served as Registers of the Treasury,
but out of the twenty-five registers
only four have been Negroes. At no
time when this office was under the
supervision of a Negro did the person
mel consist of more than nineteen
clerks and one messenger"
The signers of the petition whose
homes as given included thirty-five
states, in letter to members of Con-
gress, enclosing the petition, declared:
This petition does not come from
any political faction, nor was it in
stigated by southern prejudice. North
erners, Southerners, Westerners, De-
mocrats and Republicans alike have
set their signature thereto.
"In times of war it was thought in
advisable to put Negro officers in
charge of white troops. In times of
peace it would certainly be inexpedient
to give Negroes jurisdiction over white
citizens"

GEORGIA GOVERNOR PROMISES
PUNISHMENT OF PEoNAGE

The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth
avenue, New York, today made public
a letter received from Governor Hugh
M. Dorsey of Georgia, relative to the
disclosures regarding peonage in Jas
per County, Georgia, which caused the
murder of eleven colored poems. The
Governor definitely promised to do all
in his power to see that the perpe-
traitors OF the system are punished
Governor Dorsey's letter to the AS
sociation reads as follows
q assure you that all true Georgians
deplore the awful tragedies recently
brought to light, and l am leaving no
stone unturned to put the wheels of
justice in motion, and hope to bring
about the conviction of the guilty par
ties. The Governor, as you know, has
no jurisdiction. All he can do is to
try to bolster up the officials elected
by the people"

Baltimore, Md, April IA country
wide movement to urge boys and girls
to go to high school and go to college
instead of dropping out and going to
work, will be set in motion the week

President S. S. Booker of the Alphi
Phi Fraternity, which is backing the

of propaganda last year, and it is be-
lieved that hundreds were persuaded
to remain at their studies. During the
GO to High School and Go to College
Week" meetings will be held in the
leading schools and churches in all
the centers at which time speakers will
point out the Importance of keeping
Colored youth in school until they are

WHIPPING POST IS
RELIC OF DARK Ages

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Wilmington, Del, April 14.-Four
men were put'icly whipped at the New
castle county workhouse last Staur-
day, in the presence of about 125 per-
sons, for crimes committed in Della
ware.
Warden NJ. S. Plummer administer
ed the punishment. He used the regula-
ton whip, about three feet long. Three
of the men flinched under the blows.
The fourth man took his medicine"
with smile.
Unusual interest had been aroused in
the lashings because of the discussion
throughout the country of the whipping
post as a crime deterrent.
Whippings took place in the jail
yard, where stands a twelve inch post.
to which the prisoners, in a standing
position, are attached with shackles.
Lewis, Negro, was led to the post,
stripped to the waist. Deputy Warden
Leach read the courts sentence I'M
posing a sentence of one year i'm
prisonment and twenty lashes for lar
ceny.
Lewis was shackled to the post.
Warden Plummer applied the whip.
At the end of the twentieth blow, Lew
is locked around and smiled
and asked, sis that all?7 He was I'm
shackled, his coat put on and led to
his cell. Next Leonard Bennett was
tied up. He was sentenced to ten years
imprisonment and forty lashes for
highway robbery. Bennett flinched as
the blows were laid on.
John Richardson followed. He stood
the first eleven blows without exhibit
ing any apparent emotion, but at the
twelfth he began to squirm. From then
to the fortieth lash Richardson twist
ed and stamped as the whip struck.
Horace Archy, sentenced to- forty
lashes and twenty years Imprisonment
for highway robbery, was shaking as
he was led to the post. He trembled
while Leach read the sentence. Archy
flinched throughout the entire ordeal.
He was able to walk to his cell unaid-
ed
This is the one disagreeable feature
of my job." remarked Plummer, when
the whippings were ended. "But l in
tend to do my duty and won't ask
any of my deputies to do what l do
not like"

inside INFORMATION
ABOUT The PEONAGE
CASES IN GEORGIA
az The Asgociated Negro Pressl

(By The Associated Negro Press)
Atlanta, Ca, April 1--we think
the readers of the Associated Negro
Press should know something of the
encouraging things that are transpir-
ing in connection with the exposure
of the eleven murders of Negroes that
were perpetrated to support the fact
that peonage OF the most CALLING kind
existed on John S. Williams farm in
Jasper County, Georgia. Clyde Mann
ing, colored, was his right hand man
and admits that he killed nine of the
eleven in accordance with "Mr. John
ney's orders. Says he had to do so or
be killed himself Williams and Mann
ing's trial began April 5th and some
of the prominent whites of the State
lead by Mr.. Woods-white- good
friend of the colored people, have en-
ployed one of the allest Criminal
Lawyers in the State to defend Mann
ing.
Governor Dorsey of Georgia has. been
extremely active the very first in
pushing the case against those re-
sponsible for the awful crime. Not only
so but he says there are at least fifty
Negroes in Atlanta who are refugees
from this unjust system One or two
are employed at the State Capital
building and certain of the officials
have interposed to prevent their being
carried back to the country
He also says "After some Of the
communities in Georgia have driven
away their farm labor and driven a.
way their farm loans" they will have
an opportunity to sit down and think
over calmly whether it pays 10 deal
justly with the Negro"
Another feature worth noting is the
fact that the daily papers Of Atlanta
have been extremely active in expos
ing and condemning Editorially the
awful crimes in question; so much SO
that some of the Jasper ounty citizens
are quite sore over the matter.

Increase Of Marriages
Among Blacks Shown
In Nations Capital

(By the Associated Negro Press)
Washington, Ca, April 14.-There
has been a noticeable increase of mar
riages among the Negroes of Washing
ton recently. This interest is declared
to have been stimulated by the insist
ence of the local authorities to investi-
gate the legal relations of a large num-
Ter of Negro couples who have been
reported as living together without
the sanction of the marriage law. Lo-
cal Justices are said to be reaping a
rich harvest as a result of the investi-
cation.
