As To Arrangements.
HRLD. Harwell, chairman of the com-
ngementg gave out the
Race Problem Discussed by Atlanta
torney at Colored Industrial School
Commencement.
At
Special to The Georgian. > ,
Savinsh, Oa., June f.—William
Hammond, of Atlanta, addressed the
students of the Georgia School for Cob
ored Youths here at 11 o'clock thle
morning. Mr. Hammond’s speech waa
In the nature of a reply to the speech
delivered here a year ago by Booker
T. Washington and dealt largely with
the rare problem In -the South. He
dealt with th# grievances of Ihe negro
from three standpoints, social, politi
cal and‘Industrial.
After announcing the subject upon
which he would base his remarks, Mr.
Hammond said:
"This problem Is not essentially dif
ferent from any other human problem.
It le much like those we meet every
day In our contact with our fellow
men. Every Individual of the rare is
n problem lo himself and to those who
come In frequent contact with him. It
le always a question ns to how he may
adjust himself to others, snd their
lives to his, so as to avoid friction and
promote harmony. Life Is a constant
succession of compromises and adjust
ments, and the man la wise who recog
nises this truth, and who seeks lo ap'
It Ih aurh a manner as to promoti
own welfare and that of society.
How each of us may do this la worthy
of our beat thought nnd effort.”
In discussing these phases of the
race problem Mr. Hammond said:
'The negro claims that ha does not
have a fair chance In the business
world. He says that Iffi Is shut out
from the beat places by the white man.
I do not think he Is much Inclined to
complain of tljls, but nevertheless It Is
ono of his grievances. Of course he
has no just cause of complaint unless
It Is true Hint he Is shut out on ac
count of his tact or color. Theoreti
cally nil avenues of business are open
to him, but practically he cannot en
ler them, of this he does not cnm<
S lain. His remedy Is to enter where
e can, nnd wait. This will adjust It
self In the natural order of things In
the future. There are Instances, hut they
are fewer In the ftouth than elee-
where, where he le ehut out from
lucrative employment by labor organi
zations. of this he has n Just right
to complain, but his best course, here
as always. Is to appeal to the senae of
honor of the man or class who does
him Injustice. Every honest man will
do the right nnd fnlr thing If you will
give him time.
"The negro social alalus Is one of his
grievances. I do pot think he troubles
ilmself aa much about thla aa aotpe of
his friends do, but It Is nevertheless a
cause of Irritation. He cannot fully
understand why the white man should
be so persistently exclusive on qbclal
questions. He dogs not want to In
vade the home of the white man,- or
thrust himself offensively Into his
presence, but he asks for equal ac
commodations In hotels and sleeping
cars and such places. He la exoeed-
Ingly patient and good natured on these
questions, and haa really provoked the
admiration of the white man for his
excellent spirit, but he his a grievance
here which needs attentive and
thoughtful consideration. 1 do not
not know hpw public opinion will
shape Itself; It would be unwlaa for
afty man (o predict; but I do know
that If the patient spirit of ths negro
rontlnuea to manlfeat Itself, that the
time trill come when the sense of Jus
tice and fairness of the white man will
bring him to a proper recognition of
the negro's rights. In this regard, and
that eventually there will be found a
solution of this vexed question alike
satisfactory to both races.
"The negro's duty la daar; and he
aeema In be meeting It In a manly and
patlsnt spirit. I-et him bide his time
and wait. Let him remove all cauae
of Irritation and possess hla soul In
the most perfect patience. Let him be
found continually making advances all
along the line; here a little and there
a little; and we may be aura that the
children and grandchildren of this
generation will somehow, find them
selves much nearer the solution of the
question of the social relations be
tween the races than we are. Let the
negro advance himself to as high
plane In the social world as he can
possibly reach, and let every good
get upon as high a plane ns the white
man he certainly will have solved the
question of social equality, though no
man can say there will ever be social
unity of the two races. God made
them aa they are; and who ran say
that la not what It should be 7 We
rmnot solve these questions now, but
we can put our faith In God, and our
hope In the future, with full nssuranre
that all will be well. 'Ephraim will
not envy Judah and Judah will not
vex Ephraim,' but all will dwell to
gather In brotherly love and unity,
'The next great grievance of the
negro Is In regard to his political
rights. Why can he not exercise them
under the constitution and laws of the
country? Why does the white man
Insist on saying that he shall tnkc no
irt In making and administering the
iws of the land? Why Is not his
right to vote recognised, or his voice
& emitted to be heard In public places?
there Just causu of complaint here?
la there a remedy?
“These are momentous questions, c.nd
should be answered with the most per-
fset candor and truth, and with entire
freedom from prejudice and passion.
And right here I want to assert my
belief that the time will come when the
full political rights of the negro will
be recognised by the white man of the
Houth—the only man whose recognition
of them will be worth a cent to the ne’
gro. And thlir part of the problem be
fore us resolves Itself Into the ques<
Hon whether the negro Is wUMng lo
undertake to secure this recognition
from his while neighbor and friend.
"It Is Ihe height of unwledom for the
negro lo expend Ms energies and con
sume Ms time In denunciation of the
white man on this account; and It Is
sheer folly for the friends of the negro,
who simply know him as a member of
the human family, but without close
personal acquaintance, to keep up the
agitation which has already had, to a
large degree, the disastrous effect of
causing an alienation between the
negro and his white friends at the
Routh. Anything Is deplorable which
causes a separation of feeling between
those who live neighbors to each oth
er, and this Is especially true where
the neighbors belong to different races.
The most cruel thing that ever hap
pened to a race of people was the
course of conduct of those friends of
the negro, who. viewing hie situation
and surroundings from a distance, and
misjudging the temper and spirit of the
white people of the Houtlt, assumed the
guardianship of what they called the
nation's ward, and undertook to regu
late, by a constitutional amendment,
Mailed north of Mason and Dixon's
Ine. the civil rights of the negro, and
upon whom he was dependent for the
sympathy and co-operation so "much
needed by him In the early beginnings
of his new life. There were those In the
North, more farsighted than their
brethren, who recognised this truth In
the beginning of the new order of
things, hut they were In a hopeless
minority. But the time haa come, and
It Is the most hopeful sign of the new
century, when the best thinkers ev
erywhere have corns to a recognition
of thle mistake, and do not hesitate
to aay so, and the,hopeless minority
has swelled Into an overwhelming ma
jority, boiling no 111 to tha negro, but
only goodb for when the responsibility
for the moral, social and political re
generation and upbuilding of the negro
shall be thrown bark fully upon the
Houthem whit# people, they will rise
to meet Ihe emergency with a spirit
which will command the admiration of
Ihe world, and provoke a feeling of the
liveliest satisfaction In the minds of
the friends of humanity everywhere!

Object of Company.
Having been extensively engaged

bution of milk and Its product*, sup
plying Georgia nnd Florida points,
company of milk dealers of McDon
ough, Ga., formed a corporation with
J. B. Newman n* president and estab
tlihed the business. Twenty-two de I
livery wagons nre employed dally In
supplying the customers with pure
milk, and 4.000 families are visited
each day.
The dairies of the company are un
der the care and supervision of A. N'
Brown, who Is experienced In the de
tails of modern dairying. The barns
are especially constructed as to ven
Illation and cleanliness and the small
army of laborers nre required to be
neat and clean. The large herda of cat
tle, thoroughbreds and nigh-grade Jer
seys, ' are separated on the several
farma of the company and fed with
the best and richest varieties of food,
feeding for the moat of the year upon
meadow lands through which ran
streams of fresh, clear water. In milk

The milk Is cooled Immediately after
milking. It Is then brought to the
creamery from ' the several farms
throughout northern Georgia,
consolidated, packed carefully In Ice for
shipment nnd forwarded on flrst ex
press to the plant In Atlanta. About
ono hour Is consumed In transporta
tion.
After arrival each can Is. sampled

WHEA TLE Y STILL WORKING
FOR LIE UIENANTGO VERNOR
Senator Crawford Wheatley, of
Americus, representing the Thirteenth
district, was at the capitol Wednes
day morning and received cordial
greetings from hla friends. He Is on
the way to New York on a brief busi
ness trip.
Senator Wheatley aald that he would
press hls bill creating the position of
lieutenant governor at the coming ses
sion, and feels hopeful that It will pass
the senate safely.
At the Iasi sssslon Senator Wheatley
Introduced five bills covering this mat
ter. Three provide for the necessary
constitutional amendment and th*
other two change ihe rode to conform
to the new offlee. The bills were read
the second time In the senate at th*
last session, and will be brought up
now for passage.
Since last session Senator Wheatley
has complied much valuable data to
back up hi# measure. Thirty-two
states now have lieutenant governor.-,
and the genial senator from the Thir
teenth thinks Georgia Is too great
state to bo behind the others In such
Important consideration.
Under present laws no gubernatorial
succession Is provided for In the event
of the death of the chief executive, un
less It should occur within six months
of the end of the term. In which event
the president of the senate would nd
minister state nffnlrs until a governor
was regularly elected. If the governor's
death should occur seven months prior
to the expiration of hls term, then the
president of the senate would call ■
special election to nil the vacancy.
Such an election would cost close to
hundred ’thousand dollars, so It
stated.
To provide against such a possibility
Senator Wheatley thinks Georgia
should have a lieutenant governor.
