KU KLUx KHAN IN THE SOUTH

The Columbus, Ohio Dispatch
through special correspondence from
Washington, d. G., has worked out
an elaborate article on XII Klux Klan
in which it describes certain opposi-
ton to the Ku Klux Klan in the
South as the result Of its causing Ne
groes to migrate. The article reads
in part as follows:
"By calling his organization the Ku
Klux Klan, Col William ]. Sim
mons, the originator of the new order,
capitalized civil war reconstruction
sentiment in certain Southern com
munities. AT the outset his Klan apr
pealed to many people who appre-
hended trouble with colored soldiers
returning from the world war. Ideas
imbibed abroad made some Of the col
ored men more ambitious socially
White neighbors resented the change
in the Negro. In Texas there was
bad blood" between white and col
ored communities.
All Of these race animosities helped
the Ku Klux Klan campaign in its
early stages. Frightened Negroes left
Ku KIux Klan States by the thou
sands. Many Of them went to the
North and West. Some counties in
Georgia were almost depopulated OF
Negroes.
The 1920 census returns indicate
plainly the drift Of the colored popu-
Iation since the Invisible Empire be-
came a menace.
The increase in the Negro popula-
ton Of Georgia from 1900 to 1910 for
instance, was 1877 per cent, whereas
from 1910 to 1920 IT dropped to rs
per cent, far below the increase due
At the beginning Of the Ku KHux
Movement. Florida was quickly or
ganized and many Negroes frighteped
or actually mistreated. The increase
there from 1900 to 1910 was 33.s per

COLORED PEOPLE ASK FED
ERAL INVESTIGATION OF
GARVEY

"A letter has been made public by a
committee Of Negroes which urged
Attorney General Dangherty to put
the Universal Negro Improvement
Association and its leader, Marcus
Garvey, out Of business. 1t accuses
the Negro World of "sedulously and
continually seeking to arouse ill-feel-
ing between the races" The letter
asks a thorough investigation Of the
Association and action at once on an
indictment against Garvey, charging
him with the use Of the mails to de-
fraud. In connection with the death
Of Rev. y. w. H. Eason, former
Garveyite, the letter requests Mr..
Daugherty to ascertain whether
Eason was assassinated as the result
of an interstate conspiracy emanating
from New York. It quotes one sec
ton of the constitution of the Univer-
sal Negro improvement Association
as follows:
mo one shall be received by the
potentate and his consort who has
been convicted of felony, except such
crime or felony was committed in
the interest of the Universal Negro
Improvement Association and the At
rican Communities League"
Those alleged to have signed the
latter are Harry H. Pace, John z.
Nail, Julia P. Coleman, William
Pickens, Chandler Owen, Robert w.
Bagnal, George II. Harris.

Scott the president, in his report to
the stockholders stated: Nothing
more vividly indicates the need and
necessity for a corporation such as
the Allied than the experience which
your officers have had in having
brought before them so many invest
ments opportunities of a worthy ma
ture which have had to be turned
down because az the available funds
were already invested In keeping
with the program Of the Corporation,
the officers and directors have given
careful and especial attention to the
large number of applications for
loans with which the Corporation has
been deluged ever since it actively
began business. 1t has been difficult
for the officers to sift out just which
of the many applications should be
favorably acted upon in view of the
fact that there have been SO many ap-
plications from yorthy persons and
concerns and the funds Of the Cor
poration have never been sufficient to
enable the officers to handle even a
small part of the applications fled
with us. AS soon as funds were
available in the treasury, ali loans that
could be provided for were placed"
Growth of Corporation Means Greater
Assistance for Negro Business
Enterprises
The above statement from the Pres
ident Of the Allied Industrial Finance
| Corporation points out in very def
mite way just what concern Of this
kind can do to assist Negro business
enterprises. 1t is easily seen that
when the Corporation has succeeded
in placing larger amounts of its stock
in the hands of the investing public,
It viii have at its disposal greater
sums with which to give assistance
to the many worth while Negro busi-
ness enterprises, and it will not only
be in position to render great service
IN connection with the economic
progress of the race, but it will be
able to pay larger dividends and be-
come the great outstanding success
which its stockholders are anxious
that it shall be.

cent but that went down to 81 per
cent from 1910 to 1920.
Alabama was Ku Klux ridden for
several years. Her Negro population
increased o.8 per cent from 1900 to
1910, but decreased 0.8 per cent from
1910 to 1920.
From 1900 to 1910 the Negroes Of
Mississippi increased 1l.2 Der cent
but from 1910 to 1920 they decreased
"a per cent.
In Louisiana the Negroes increased
81 per cent, from 1900 to 1910 and de-
creased 1.o per cent from 1910 to 1920.
The migration Of the Negro from a
few Of the Southern States became
50 heavy that farmers who depend
on them to produce cotton joined a
movement to counteract the mischief
done by the Ku Klux Klan. In At
lanta score of preachers conducted
very active campaign against the
klansmen on the ground that their
activities were unjust, wicked and
harmful to the community and State.
This was led by the Rev. Plato L.
Durham Of Atlanta, a noted Methodist
preacher, whose relatives had been
connected with the old Ku KIux Khan.
Mr.. Durham has taken a very bold
stand against the Invisible Empire.
He has been helped by many descend
ants Of the men of the first Klan, who
resent the usurpation.

notable decrease in the lynching habit
in the states where it still persists.
Last years record represents a de-
crease Of q per cent from the forty
year annual average of 7o for the same
ten states.
The figures for certain states where
special efforts have been made to curb
lynchings are cited as particularly
encouraging in their assurance that
the habit can be overcome when pub
lie sentiment and law unite against it
For example, Alabama with yearly
average Of eight lynchings for the
forty years, has cut the number to
two. Tennessee, with an average OF
six, had but two last year, and total
of only FIVE in the last four years
Oklahoma and South Carolina, each
with an average of four, had but one
each in 1922. Louisiana, with an av-
erage OF nine, has cut the record to
three. North Carolina, Virginia,
Missouri and Kentucky, each averag-
ing from two to Eve victims per year
for forty years past, had not a single
one in 1922.
It was pointed out that in several
states special legislation has been en-
acted and found very helpful in curb
:-r lvnchinp. among the most effec-
tive measures being state constabu-
larry under the control Of the gov
ernor, as In Alabama and Tennessee,
and provision for the removal Of Of
hcers who surrender prisoners to
mobs, as in Alabama, Florida, Ken
lucky and South Carolina. These two
measures consistently applied, says
the Commission, viii make it possible
for any state to reduce lynchinA &c
the vanishing point.

FORWARD STRIDES MADE BY
ALLIED INDUSTRIAL FINANCE
CORPORATION, SECOND QUAR-
TERLY DIVIDEND DECLARED.

Washington, D. C.-That great for
ward strides are being made BY the
Allied Industrial Finance Corporation
was definitely shown from the reports
of the President, DR.. Emmett J.
Scott, and the Treasurer, Mr.. John
R. Hawkins, at the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Corporation
held at the offices of the Corporation,
1901 Seventh Street, N. W., Washing
ton, D. G., January 80. 1928. The re-
ports Of these two officers show that
the Corporation has succeeded in hav-
ing more than one-half Of its first Of
ferings or $250O00.C3 worth Of It's
stock subscribed for and enough paid
in to have warranted the officers of
the Corporation to decide that it
would enter actively upon its program
of giving financial assistance to Negro
business enterprises beginning July /,
1922.
Large Amount of Business Handled
The wisdom of the decision Of the
officers to have the Corporation begin
active business on July /, 1922 is
shown by the fact that the invest
ments made brought sufficient return:
to enable the Directors to declare :
quarterly dividend at the rate of eight
per cent year for the period July
through September 80, 1922. Upor
the showing made according to tn,
books Of the Treasurer, the Director
have again voted to declare a secont
dividend payment at the rate Of eigh
per cent year for the second quarte
October l, through December 81
1922.

ITO the Broad Ak


Atlanta, Ga. (SpeciaD-That the
Iynching evil is steadily being re-
duced, both as to numbers and area
and that its eradication is only mat

statement given out by the Commis-
sion on Interracial Cooperation as
the result Of a careful study Of the
lynching record for the past forty

During that period. the statement

and in an average of twenty-one
states a year, whereas in 1921 only
thirteen states had lynchings and in
1922 only ten. This indicates that
the habit is being gradually pushed
off the map.
The number Of victims also has
steadily decreased, with slight varia-
tons, from the high mark Of 255 in
1892 to 81 last year, the latter figure
being only about half the annual

Owing to the recent sudden down
fail Of the Thompson political ma
chine which for long time absolutely
ruled or lorded it over this big town
from soup to nuts, left many of the
Democratic and Republican aldermen
who were a live part Of the machine,
hanging up in the cold air and the
result that almost three hundred and
forty aldermanic candidates from the
various wards are endeavoring to
storm the city hall and burst into the
city council. Many of them are good,
bad and Indifferent and many of those
would-be aldermen have never been
heard Of one hundred feet away from
where they reside.
1t does seem to us that the voters
residing in the new fifty wards will
at this coming election brush politics
aside and in every instance vote for
the best men to represent them in the
city council, for under the new fifty
ward plan there will only be one al
derman and the voters must be very
careful and not elect block-head nor
a dummy to represent them in that
important capacity.
AS stated above, only one alderman
can be elected to the City Council
from each of the fifty wards and each
and every one of the following alder
men expects to be reelected to it on
