The Committee of Roce Relation
of the State of Georgia." with of.
fees at 1921 Gambler Building, At.
lanta, and of which Rev. M. Ashby
Jones is chairman, has issued state
ment to the people of Georgia, which
! it has asked the Times Recorder to
publish "to correct and forestall pos
sible mistakes" The statement in
full and it's signers, follows:
To the People of Georgia: The
undersigned citizens Of Georgia, were
called together April %, 1921, by
Governor Hugh NJ Dorsey to consid-
er the Statement as to the Negro
in Georgia." prepared by the COVER
nor. After careful consideration,
we organized the committee on Race
Relations, approved and accepted full
responsibility for Governor Dorsey's
statement, and sent copies of it to the
press of Georgia, the judges, sher-
ifs, and members Of the general as
sembly, and to the clergy of the
state, inviting suggestions from all.
Having met again at the call Of our
chairman on May 90, to consider fur
Their the matter Trace relations in
the state, we decire to set forth GER
tain facts and principles, which we
believe will meet with the approval Of
the majority of Georgians.
Governor Dorsey has placed before
us 1876 cases of the alleged mistreat-
ment of negroes called to his Off
cial attention in the last two years.
Only two of the eases have been Sc
riously questioned The majority of
them are confirmed by letters from
sheriffs, general, and the
report of the adjutant-general of the
state, and by letters from business
men and citizens whose standing can
not be questioned. The mistreatment
shown ranges from burning to beat
ing and threats to kill.
These 1875 cases added to the Alb
lynchings of negroes which have oc-
Cured in Georgia in the past thirty
five years shock the conscience of all
Georgia. They demand remedy. He
who would oppose an intelligent eff
fort to correct such conditions should
be, and will be recognized either as
an enemy to the common good, or
man lost to reason.
| A threefCld danger, economic, CIV
, ic and moral, threatens the state.
In two counties of Georgia, not
one negro remains. In others, the
negro has fled from farms, not to
escape peonage, or cruel employer,
but because ruffians have threaten
! ed him with death, if he stays and
works. His employer has been will
ing to protect him, but at last the
night riding terror has driven him
away.
Our farms must have negro lab
or, if agriculture is to continue the
basis of our wealth.
But worse than the loss Of the ne
gro labor, is the ultimate anarchy
that must result, if lawless groups in
any county are permitted to continue
to drive people away at will.
The spread of lynching is seen by
all. We condemn with unutterable
loathing the unmentionable crime SO
often given a. an excuse to justify
| lynching, but we recognize that,
while lynching has not stopped that
occasional crime, the crime Of lynch
ing has grown. A woman has been
lynched in Georgia for talking indis-
creetly. She protested against the
murder of her husband. Another,
within the last ninety days, was
drowned by a mob by night. She
was said to have helped one of her
race charged with crime to escape.

Inter-Racial Committee Fixes
Code of Principles for State

Men accused of trivial offenses, and
whites have been lynched, and non6
| knows how many mistakes have been
made.
The most sacred right of person
and property are put in jeopardy
for all, when cowardly mobs can deny
the rights of indictment and trial by
jury and lynch men and women at
will.
The moral peril is greater. The
negro does not and cannot threaten
white supremacy. he neither desires
nor expects social equality. The ne
gro is not so stupid. He asks only
for justice. And no civilization can
refuse to give him justice and sur
vive. History shows that the strong
er race denying justice to the weak
er people destroys it's own moral
fiber and ultimately brings destruc-
ton upon itself.
Therefore We ask our fellow citi-
zens to unite with US in upbuild-
ing white supremacy by maintaining
the principles of righteousness and
justice upon which white supremacy
depends.
We have no affiliation with the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of the Colored People"
or any other similar organization
within or without the State of Geor-
gia.
We advocate:
l. Education for all - none
should be left to learn by chance
those things which civilization de-
mands of man regardless of color
2. UNFOLDING and protecting the
purity Of both the white and negro
races
3. The enforcement of contracts
and of the law
d. The immediate arrest of all
persons charged with crime, their
protection under arrest, a speedy and
fair trial and the quick punishment
of those convicted
5. The support of all public of
ficials in the performance of their
duties-the condemnation of those
who fail through fault of their own
to uphold the law
6. Separate, but decent, sanitary
and adequate accommodations for
both races
T. The removal of causes for
friction, fear, suspicion and i'll will
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-05-30

between whites and blacks by intel
!ligent conferences and cooperation
between the leaders of both races
8. Publicity-knowledge of the
facts will end any evil
9. The gospel Of justice, mercy,
and mutual forbearance for all.
We oppose:
/. Social equality between the
races 2. Political shrdGuetaoish
2. Politicians seeking office by
tanning the flames of race preju-
dice
3. Criminals by their lawless acts
bringing condemnation upon all
Georgia
a. Lynch law and mob violence
D. Murder, peonage, night rid
ing mobs, and other forms of crime,
and those who defend such crimes
as evidence Of, or necessary to white
supremacy
C. The violation of contracts by
laborer or employer.
Z. The propaganda being used ir
to inflame the minds of both whites
and blacks with reference to the
question of race relations
8. The oppression and intimida-
ton of the weak and ignorant.
AS Georgians, we have been STIR
red and moved by a study of race
conditions in Georgia and the South
to try to serve our state and people.
We ask and believe that we shall re-
ceive your support.

Why Dread Old Age?

1t don't make much difference how
old you are if you only keep in good
health and are active Many people
appear older at fifty than others do
at seventy, to keep looking young
you have got to enjoy good health,
and do as little worrying as possible.
Backaches, swollen joints and legs,
disturbed sleep by being compelled
to arise one or more times during the
night are sure symptoms of kidney
trouble, and should have immediate
attention to avoid serious conse-
quences. SEVEN BARkS, natures
remedy Of roots and herbs. is one Of
the best remedies to take not only
for affected Kidneys, but for liver,
stomach and heart troubles.
Middle aged people realize that
they cannot perform their work or
move around as fast as formerly.
The intestinal organs feel the effect
of age and do not perform their work
properly. The heart palpitates on
the slightest cxertion, and the back
aches after days work. The
muscles and flesh get habby and the
blood thinner than formerly, it is
then you need good tonic and
bowel regulator-you cannot find
a more reliable and efficient remedy
for these conditions than SEVEN
BARKS.
h Ii you want to enjoy life, recover
some OF your youthful yigor and have
the glow OF health, get SEVEN
BARKS of your druggist. Do not
accept substitute. q

Hard Chriistmases
for CIV shington
!. o ONE has told us much abont

" George Washlngton's Christ
masses. But from the record
of his life we learn how he spent some
Of his Christmas days.
It was very cold Christmastide in
TIT at Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills. Everything was frozen. And
Washington's army was In great need
Of food. clothing and shelter.
Instructions of parties Of men to go
foraging for food are entered in the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington. Ff
Still more desperate were the food
conditions at Morristown, in 1873,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance and near
starvation. 1--WE have never expe-
rienced like extremity at any period
of the war; declared Washington,
pleading that food be sert.
There was a welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men
Mt New Windsor in 1880 when big
Christmas wagon came with over 1000
shirts and other comforts made by
Philadelphia women patriots--things
needed by the men under Washington,
who were cheerfnlly suffering all sorts
Of hardship in order that this country
might be free. The Philadelphia woni-
en- also raised, that year, over $500
900 in aid of the soldiers.
/ The fine old Colonial mansion Che
Cralgie house, in Cambridge, Mass,
(n0w widely known as the home OF
Henry W. Longfellow), was the place
whdre Washington spenc his first
Christmas as commander of the Rev
olutionary army in ITO Mrs. Wash
ngton was there with him Gas she was
later ut Valley Forge), and there was
some pleasure in the midst Of the
heavy cares and responsibilities car
red by the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day found
Washington at the head Of his ZOO
brave men making his celebrated
crossing of the Delaware river, nine
miles above Trenton The snow and
Sleet We're binding, it is recorded, and
the cold was intense. But hearts
We're brave.
Wherever he was at Chrlstmastide
Washington was cheered with the
thought that the cause Of the strug
Cling colonies would surely win. A
few days before Christmas, 1T76, he
wrote to his older brother John An
justine Washington "Betw>S1 you
and me, our affairs are ia u vary bad
situation. However, under d
full persuasion of the justice Of oui
cause, | cannot entertain an idea that
1t will finally sink, though 1t may re
main for some time under cloud"
| Washington must have had some
very merry Christmases at Mount Yer
non. There were no children OF his
own with whom Washington could
romp. But we can easily imagine
tho blg-hearted general putting on ;
false beard Of fuzzy White. Yhisker'
and Singing II pack over his back foI

Heishborhood
General Washington WAS truly tn
Father Of His Country" and we hay,
very good idea of the sort of holida!
spirit in which he observed the "giat

ia its infancy.
