Did You Ever Stop to Think

THAT charity begins at home
THAT sustained and ntegently applied cooperation can
do a community.
THAT you should lose opportunity to tell OF the
fine achievements your city.
your city should voted for its progressiveness
THAT the majority citizens loyal to city
and walking forward in progress
THAT visitors will like the living growing beauty of
city.
THAT nothing should good to say about your CITY,
THAT business flowing back from the broad back
of depression swelling resurgent rush and will
fill the channels of all industry.
THAT years ago, communities hardly gave thought
of their hotel accommodations People today
hotels the public utilities in
the city.
THAT city has good hotels the social political and bus

Whole Family Lands In
Jail After An Elopement

AMERICUS, Ga, Jan. 81. w.
Kent, his wife and her unmarried sis
ter with the sisters two children, 8
years and three weeks old, respective
ly are all confined in Schley county
jail at Ellaville, the wife under a
charge of bigamy, and Kent and the
sister under statutory charges, with an
additional charge of theft in remov-
ing the property of his landlord from
farm house near Lacrosse.
Kent and the two women came to
this section about a year ago from
Griffin His wife was Minnie McCork
and the other woman, said to be the
mother of the children, was her sister,
Annie May McCork. They rented the
Reese farm and made crop this past
season. They brought no belongings
with them, and James Reese, land
lord. of Americas, provided them with
furniture, with which they kept house.
DIN McElhaney became acquainted
with Mrs. Kent, who, according to
the information, was known as Miss
Minnie McCork. Kent is said to have
encouraged McElhaney's attentions
which became more regular.
Elopement Staged
Shortly before Christmas, McElhan-
ey, wishing to have everything done
properly asked Kent for his consent
to their marriage, 1t was then that
Kent revealed his attitude He then
informed McElhaney he could not
marry the woman. He offered no
explanation, however and on Decem-
Der 9th, McElhaney and the woman
e1oped to a near-by-official and were
married.
On their RETURN, Kent called aside
McElhaney and informed him he had
married the woman who was really
his wife and for that reason he could
not marry her.
Mr.. McElhaney at first could not
believe Kent. but wanted to make
sure SO he called the ordinary at CO
fin by telephone. He received "
nation that the records showed Kent
and Minnie McCork had been legally
married in that county in 1918.
( An Angry Bridegroom
The news soon got out and while
the bridegroom, who had courted and
married the woman in good faith
nursed his wrath, according to the
story reaching Americas, neighbors
formed vigilance committee and in.
formed the Kent tribe" they would
be expected to disappear within {
very limited space of time.
About the time they prepared tc
leave, McElhaney decided to take out
warrants for the two. They were gone
when Sheriff Battle arrived Reese
then turned up and found his furni
ture missing from the house and took
out warrant The trio were loca.
ted near Oglethorpe on thir way north
ward and brought back to Ellavillc
where commitment trial is awaited
In the meantime the two babies in
jail are the object of much concern OF
the good ladies of the town, who are
discussing what they can do to keep
them from suffering.

cRlNGlNG AWAkENs CONTEMPT,

We cannot win by blinking at facts
or by ignoring fundamental princi-
Piles. Editor J. Q. Adams of the ST.
PAUL APPEAL is sound to the core
and we shall all have to accept his
kind of leadership if we expect to at
tain our full stature and status under
the American Constitution. Cringing
may be comfortable for the time be-
ing put it is mighty humiliating for
all the time thereafter and it awakens
contempt for us as it should do in
the minds and hearts of our adver-
saries.
Editor Adams points the way,
whether we accept his advice or not
and sooner or later he will blaze the
way to our financial, industrial and
political enfranchisement in this
country where none will dare modest
US or make US afraid. Wise colored
leaders will take notice and govern
themselves accordingly.
The foregoing from The Planet of
Richmond, Va, edited by Hon. John
Mitchell, Jr, who recently polled
$4,000 votes as candidate for gov
ernor OF the state, is pleasing to the
editor but we accept it as tribute
to the cause for which THE APPEAL
has fought for nearly forty years
rather than a personal compliment.

He was lynched for this offense.
2. An old man was accused of as

8. Two colored men were lynched

4. One colored woman was thrown

sisting colored man to escape.

ings since the Dyer bill was intro
duced, having had 10. Mississippi is
second with Z, South Carolina third,
with 5; Louisiana fourth, with 4, and
Arkansas and Texas each have 3.

TRUE TO FORM.

At the Detroit Methodist conference
Emmett J. Scott declared s.The Negro
does not ask social equality and never
has asked it. All he asks is social
justice" But, pray how can the col
ored man get "social justice unless he
has every kind Of equality before the
law and in public opinion?" Domi-
nant people do not give exact justice
to people they consider their Interiors.
Scott was private secretary to
Booker Washington for nearly twenty
years and was well trained to zreiter-
ate that the colored man does not
want that and other things which
would please the South. Now that he
IS away from Tuskegee he ought to
learn a new tune.

GEN. MANGIN HAS RIGHT IDEA.

GEN. MAN0lN 7Ao NUM- l1I0'
We derive very much satisfaction
out Of the position taken by the
French General Mangin who recently
said:
can end must be put to this absurd
legend of the inferiority Of the col
ored races. It is based solely on the
tradition of slavery and is not at all
fattering to the white races!"
So declares Gen. Mangin, whose ut
terance is the most authoritative Of
those who have taken up advocacy Of
the cause of the colored peoples, fol-
lowing the winning Of the Goncourt
literary prize by the Martinique
writer, Rene Maran.
Mangin is the great champion OF
the colored army theory, holding that
only by training and arming her CO.
lonial subjects can France redress the
balance in face of more populous Ger
many. Their fighting value he proved
in the war, for Manager" Mangin's
colonial army was always in the
thick of the French offensives.
The general gained his affection for
the colored races during the twenty
years he spent in colonial military
and administrative commands. He is
not merely a soldier, but has consid-
cradle competence in literary talent,
which gives weight to his remarks on
culture among the colored races.
''There really is an intellectual elite
among the colored races, whom lib
erty has introduced to our culture"
he asserted in an interview. "And
experience has demonstrated that this
elite possesses the ability to excel in
every domain Of human activity
