PONEMAH TREASURER
 IS AMUSED BY RUMOR
Story That Ford Was After Taftville Plant Had Also Reached Putnam

A rumor became current in Nor wich recently that Henry Ford was endeavoriug to purchase the large Ponemah cotton mills in TaftviAe. The story also reached Putnam. It came to the ears of an officer of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce. He was immediately interested. Putnam would like to see MT. Ford establish one of his enterprises, or even q branch of one of his enterprises, in this city. However, before the Cham Der official had time to begin an in- vestigation the following item was printed in a Norwich newspaper;
 J. Arthur Atwood, treasurer of Ponemah Mills Company at Taftville. ehuckled heartily over the wire when told by telephone of rumors that Henry Ford was making offers to buy the Uinemah mills. Mir. Atwood was reached at his home tn Wauregan
 Mir. Atwood was told that the ru. nor current in Norwich was that Henry Ford had made an offer of s. G0o.O00 for the mill but that the off. cers were holding out for S4000 ,000 The idea apparently amused him greatly. for his response was good natured chuckle. "l don't believe Mir. Ford is buying any cotton mills just now" he remarked That's the first I've heard of it.'

At the time of the supposed at
tack there was an opinion on the
part of the officials that he was in
nocent of the crime with which he
was charged, and it was this feeling
that perhaps caused the sheriff to
believe that it was the prevailing
sentiment and that there would be no
attempt made to lynch min. A
few hot-headed whites, however,
changed this opinion, and the sheriff
was caught off his guard and Green
was lynched.
Immediately following the lynch
ing Governor Richards sent group
of Investigators in this county and
several white men, including the
mayor, were arrested and indicted
The trial was set for the SUNNI .r
term of court but was postponed
when the court decided that the
weather was too hot to sit in a
crowded courtroom and listen to
lengthy arguments. The prosecut-
ing attorney agreed and the trial
will be during the forthcoming court
session.
When the recent case was tried,
which resulted in the $4,000 award
to Mrs. Green, the courtroom was
crowded with white citizens and the
action of the court won the approx
al of the majority of those assem-
bled.

Noted Professors Views On
DR.. Notions Recent Address
Prof. C. H. Pearson

All day long Tuesday Oct. %, fair
minded white people who, as far as
the Negroes are concerned, recognize
that conditions are out of joint, to-
gether with a few invited Negroes
discussed, planned, and resolved to
attempt an adjustment of those condi-
tions. To climax the procedure, and
perhaps, to point way out, DR.. Rob-
ert R. Motion, principal of Tuskegee
Inst, and successor to the late Booker
l.. Washington, was invited to address
the public meeting. DR.. Motion came,
and to the utter disappointment of a
.arge majority of NEGROES, and per-
70 the surprise of many whites
we were virtually told that we need
not be over anxious about the rela-
tions between the races: "The Neg
roes in America are the most civilized
and the most prosperous in the
world. They have reached this state
through their contact with Anglo
Saxons in America, and while they
were brought here against their Will
and have not always been able TO
maintain peace with their white bre-
thren, they should be grateful to God
tor this contact.
1t is pharisaic to be grateful be-
cause we are the most civilized and
The rroet prosperous Negroes in the
world. It is strange Interpretation
III uods nature to even talk of thank
ing him for our contact with race
who for centuries kept us in physical
slavery and bondaqe, and even today
enslaves our wills, shackles our minds,
STILES our ambitions, and dares us
to look up as men. Of course there are
and have been individuals and groups
in the white race who feel and have
'elt the pinch of the Negroes condi-
ton almost as severly as the Neproes
do, and these are the groups which
make up the inter-racial gatherings,
and for Negro to come before such
group, and in the face of the very
conditions which they are trying to
remedv and say that. the Negroes are
we'll treated and they should thank
God for it is to commit sin against
that race.
81 am glad that l am an American
Negro, and live in the South, says
DR.. Motion. Strange statements, these
are, coming from him who took such
a manly stand against the Klu Klux
Khan, who publicly reprimanded Cen
oral SHUTS for an epithet against the
ace, and who expresses such manly
sentiments though "What The Negro
Thinks.
Such statements are platform hash
which have lost all of its seasoning.
1t happens that "white" is the Ameri
can standard, and any other color
suffers in comparison with it. Beside
the American standard white, the
whitest black is condemned, and the
blacklist "white" is rated. Indeed,
black in America is a handicap, and
for one to say that he is glad that he
is so handicapped means that he is
