gushing as rapidly as possible an

gram to give them buildings and
machinery for a production Of l 1900

"This price cut is just the appli-
cation Of Dodge Brothers policy Of
faithfully returning to the buyer the
saving made possible by increased
production. Since the first Of this
year production has been steadily
increased month after month. The
first six months Of 1925 were the
largest in the factory's history
more than II per cent greater than
the first six months Of 1924. The

The White Menace-and Another

The White Menace-and Another
The lure Of gold and sunshine,
plus the mob psychology which has
drawn thousands Of white people to
Florida, where they hope to become
millionaires in a day, has given birth
to an unhealthy offspring down in
the Everglades. That offspring is
the menace Of disease which may fol-
low in the footsteps Of 100000 whites
who are now living in tents and
other homemade camps just outside
of Floridian cities, too over-populated
to accommodate the gold migrants
AS the white press says, these are
sorry encampments" with their I'M
sanitary environment, lack Of sewage,
cleanliness, and septic equipment
Health authorities are aghast at the
urge given to typhoid fever, tubercu-
losis, and other death-dealing dis
eases. IT is to be ardently hoped that
quotas Of physicians, druggists,
nurses, and undertakers are included
in the migratory gold-hunters, upon
whom Floridian realty promoters are
fondly gazing.
There's a lesson, though, in the
white menace that confronts Florida.
"A white man will face disease and
death any time if he thinks that on
the way he might clutch a greenback

Ex-Congressman Byrnes Again

EN-Congressman James F. Byrnes
we'll remembered in Washington for
his attacks. while a Congressman
upon Howard University and Rev. J.
Francis Grimke, retired pastor OF
Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church
has again assumed the critics role BY
attempting to dehle the memory OF
Abraham Lincoln, savior Of the Union
and emancipation Of the American Ne
gro. The South Carolina congress
sional prodigal described Lincoln, in
a recent address, as being impervious
to the VI. 5 Constitution. which, says
Byrnes, Lincoln regarded as a Scrap
Of paper"
1t is indeed sad that in this day and
time there are still spared among US
not few relics ot the Confederate
Government. which once died at Ap-
pomattoX Courthouse, Virginia. When
we consider the special laws, which,
following the Civil War, South Caro-
lima, Mississippi, Florida and their
sister states OF the South. frantically
passed through their legislatures in a
last desperate effort to suppress the
Negro freedman and to keep him in
his place, without regard to law or
constitutional precedent state or
federal, it is a wonder that the word
Constitution" is still retained in the
dictionaries used in Ex-Congressman
Byrnes' state AT one time the legis-
lature Of South Carolina enacted a
law that all free Negroes over 18
years Of age, found with no lawful
employment or business, should be
deemed Migrants. and be subject to a
heavy fine If unable to pay the fine.
the Negro was hired back to his old
master for long term sufficient to
produce treble times the amount of the
fine
1t would be a splendid progression
if EX-Congressman Byrnes, who after
all these years rises to slap the Ia
mented Emancipator Lincoln, were
to spend some time with the once
Governor OF Massachusetts, Samuel
W. Mccall, and take some lessons in
what a scrap Of paper really is. Then
he could also study the Constitution
ality" over the ex-Confederate State
of South Carolina.
