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!

The seniors gave a play last night under the management of Misses lily Turner and Gladys Shook HEALTH CONSERV BY PURE FOOD CO PURITY OF MILK AND CREAM IS GUARANTEED. “POLITICT PREVENTS FAIR DEAL FOR RAILROADS NO W Company Spend* Large Sums. Insure Perfect Cleanliness. Does Philanthropic Work. No article of the homo-hold food sup ply ranks In Importance with milk, and Upon no single article In the family illetry so greatly depend* the health nnd well-being of Its members. Tho supplying to the public of pure milk one of the most Important factors any community. The Pure Milk and Food Company of this city supplies un adulterated milk nnd kindred foods. The company waa organized the first of the present year, and on March began business In a building erected for Its sole use at No. 66 Ivy street, The building In open at all times bile Inspection. It is a model -nnllness, and adapted to the pur- l--»i-“ for which It Is used. Th* floors of each room are built of relnforcod concrete nnd the walls are of hard v mu- iinl-Ui. with f\ -rv operating room so arranged that hose can be turned on the entire npartinent for cleanalni purpose*. It wan built without regard to cost, but with a view of obtaining a plant where the purely of the prod uct can be sustained. Object of Company. Having been extensively engaged the production anil wholesale distri 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 ing, care la talfen to Insure cleanlt ness and purity. 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 and a test made tor percentage of crenm snd other solids. The milk Is emptied lot-- a large agitating vat. where It Is mist’d, from which It |la mssed Into a machine and warmed Is normal temperature, which la nec essary In order to remove all foreign substances. It then pass, - in• -> - > Vili fying machine, miming several thou sand revolutions a minute, thereby whirling out all Impurities it may have absorbed either In the bam or In the handling. Tha milk passes Into a pasteuriser, where It Is heated to a high tempera ture, and then cooled to A low tempera ture, thereby destroying all bacteria. This Is th* secret of the pure products turned out by the company. The white and absolutely pure fluid then passes Into a bottling machine, which taa a capacity of 5,000 bottles an hour, where It Is at once sealed nnd placed In cold storage and kept ready for dis tribution during the day. Absolutely no mllg I# sold after twenty-four houn Sterilizing Bottles. The method of washing and sterilis ing bottles Is novel and perfect. The bottles are filled with a solution of hot water and alkalL which cuts and dls- xolvea the grease, then conveyed to a section of the earn* machine where all particles are removed, then rinsed In nice water, then passed to another sec- ion where they are sterilized. The bottle* are washed Inside and out by the machine, operated by a force puntp of great power. Cream, butter and buttermilk is made by the Pure Milk and Food Company In Ihe same sanitary man ner. The Ice cream department Is another feature of the business done by th* company. Th* company make* It* cream dally and It Is always fresh. found at the local plant of the con- j-n. • The delivery system has been organs Ised with th* main purpoaa of serving the patrons with promptness. Begin ning three menthe ago with only a few wagons, on Tuesday of thla week two more were added, making a total of twenty-two leaving the building each morning at 4 o'clock. Every section of the city l( covered by th# wagon*, only one trip each day being mad*. A retell counter la maintained at the dant for those who may wish to call or the supply. Philanthropic Work, A description of the plant and Ita methods of doing business would far from compute without a notice of the free milk dUtributed dally. In At lanta. as In avery city of any slxe, there are a great many children who** parent* through misfortune, are un able to provide those necessities that are required In hour* of sickness. They such times especially need a pur* quality of mHk and to such aa bring a certificate from a physician art fur- nUbed milk of th* beat quality free. Other worthy people are often fur nished milk dally without recompense. Company Makss Addition. After selling milk at retail In Allan- ter about a year the Belmont dalnt Smyrna, Ga.. has announced that It not satisfied with the remits and having made arrangements to ship lu entire product elsewhere th* manage ment discontinued It* extensive busi ness In Atlanta on Wednesday morn ing. Vor the convenience of the customers th* Balmont form arrangement* have been completed whereby the cus tomers will be supplied for the present by the Pure Milk and Flood Company until they have an opportunity to make other arrangements If they desire. In a circular letter dUtributed Wednesday morning, the proprietors of the Bel mont farm suggest that just at thla time It would he wise for all patrons to use milk which haa been pasteurized and thus aacap* daag-i ft.-in typhoid "It Is Imposlble to secure an Impar tial trial In IhU slate for a railroad now, on account of the present politi cal conditions." So wrote II. L. Parry to the supreme court Tuesday afternoon In hls brief In the case of the Southern Railroad v*. Reynolds, from Dr Kalb county. Reynolds brought suit for damages nr.ilii'i it -- .«•-!,'>■■! n in I " K -II- . ii-i won hi* case. The railroad brought the case to the supreme court on th* grounds partially set forth In Mr. Parry's brief. The case was argued Tuesday In the supreme court. Since politic* and consideration of such matters Is far removed from the supreme court, tills i-urt erf .Mr. Parry’s brief will not enter Into the decision the court. Jn fact It Is highly Impn ble that any cognizance of this feature will be taken nt all. Interest attaches to the contention the light of the fact that railroads hnv been on ths gridiron for some tim and this Is perhaps tho flrst tlm plea that disturbed political conditions Influenced litigation lias ever been brought forward. 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.
