AFTER FORTY YEARS.

For forty years the editor of THE
APPEAL has battled with pen and
tongue against the rising tide of race
prejudice, discrimination, injustice and
mob-murder .. LIZ
He has seen state governments and
national administrations quail and
tremble before the onrushing waves
of hellish hate.
The so-called Christian church has
stood still and dumb before the bru-
talities of Goddess land.
Many contemporaries have given up
the fight for justice and equality, but
many yet live who will never yield to
the oppressors and so long as there
are even dozen determined souls
who have sworn to do or die, the
fight will not be in vain.
The way is dark and the work is
made difficult by the foe within, but
victory will come. It can not be
that the present infamous conditions
will continue forever. Our children
and our children's children will reap
tue benefits Of our labors Of today.
We are still unafraid. We will con-
tinue the fight.

committee which will direct Repub-

by a selected committee composed of
Republican leaders from all sections
Of the state ~ -,~ ~
The meeting, called by the Nation
al Republican committee, for the
purpose Of re-organizing 1.-THE party
in Georgia on the basis Of white con
troll and for the purpose of har-
monizing fractional differences, was
marked by almost complete unani-
nifty action. Only at one period did
it appear that there might be an
effort, to disrupt the program, and
this tendency was quickly cured.
1t was evident from the very open
ing of the meeting that the plan Of
action had been carefully worked out.
The new state central committee
consists of 46 members, including the
three officers, who are j. l.. Phillips,
Of Thomasville, chairman; Walter L.
Johnson, Of Columbus, vice chairman,
and Charles Adamson, Of Cedartown,
treasurer.
Thirty-six of the forty-six mem
bers are white and ten colored. al
though 80 per cent of the Georgia
Republicans are colored The plan to
put the machinery of the organization
under white control as ordered by
President Harding has been carried
out to the letter. Henry Lincoln
johnson, Georgia member Of the Re
publican National Committee, will re-
main in his seat, as he was elected
by the Republican National conven-
ton, and this new committee did not
have the power to GUST him. How
ever, he is just a figure-head and has
noIpoWer whatever The entire plan
was worked out by Clarence B. Miller

publican National Committee. who
acted as chairman of the meeting.
