Race Problem Discussed by Atlanta
torney at Colored Industrial School
Commencement.
At
8pcclal to The aeorgtan.
Knvnnnh, Oa.. June William R.
Hammond, of Atlanta, addressed the
students of the Oeorgla School for Col
ored Youths here at 11 o'clock this
morning. Mr. Hammond's speech was
in the nature of a reply to the speech
delivered here a year ago by Booker
Washington and dtalt largely with
ths race problem In -the South,
dealt with the grievances of the negro
from three standpoints, social, polltl
cal and Industrial.
After announcing the subject upon
whlcti he would base his remarks, Mr.
Hammond said:
‘This problem Is not essentially dlf.
f erent from any other human problem
t Is much like those we meet every
day In our contact with our fellow
men. Every Individual of the race Is
a problem to himself and to those who
come In frequent contact with him. It
Is always a question os to how he may
adjust himself to others, and their
live* to tils, to as to avoid friction and
promote harmony. Life Is a constant
succession of compromises and -adjust'
ments, and the man Is wise who recog
nixes this truth, and who seeks to ap-
!>ly It In such a manner aa to promote
its own welfare and that of society.
How each of u* may do this la worthy
of our beat thought and effort."
In dlecusslng these phases nf the
race problem Mr. Hammond said:
"The negro claims that be does not
have a fair chance In the business
world. He say* that he la shut nut
from the best places by the white man.
I do not think he Is much Inclined to
complain nf this, but nevertheless It la
one of his grievances. Of course he
has no Just cause of complaint unless
It Is true that he Is shut out on ac
count of his race or color. Theoretl
rally alt avenues of business are open
to him, but practically he cannot en
ter them. Of this hs does not com-
R laln. His remedy Is to enter where
e ran, and watt. Thl* will adjust It
self In the natural order of things In
the future. There are Instances, but they
are fewer In the South than else
where, where he Is shut out from
lucrative employment by labor organi
sation!. Of this he ha* a Just right
to complain, but his best course, here
as always, Is to appeal to the sense of
honor of the ninn or class who does
him Injustice. Every honest man wilt
do the right and fair thing If you will
give him time.
"The negro aoclal status Is on* nf hla
grievance*. I do nor think- ha troubles
himself os much about tbl* as some 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 social
question*. He does not want .to In
vade the home of the white ninn, or
thrust himself offensively Into his
presence, but he ask* for equal ac
commodations In hotels and sleeping
ears and such places. He le exceed
ingly patient and good natured on these
questions, and has really provoked tii„
admiration of the white man r,.i hi,
excellent spirit, but he has a grievance
here which needs attentive and
thoughtful consideration. I do not
not know how public opinion will
shape Itself; It would be unwise for
nny mnn to predict; but 1 do know
that If the patient spirit of ths negro
continue* to manifest Itself, that. the
time will com* when the sense of Jus
tice and fairness of the white man will
bring him to a proper recognition of
the negro's ilghls In this regard, nnd
that eventually there will be found a
solution of this vexed question alike
satisfactory to both races.
"The negro'e duty la clear; and he
seeme to be meeting It In a manly nnd
iwtlant spirit Let him bide his time
and wait. Let him remove all cause
of Irritation and possess his soul In
the most perfect patience. iAt him be
found continually making advances all
along the line; here a little and there
■little; and we may be sure that the
children and grandchildren of this
generation will, somehow. And them

question of the social relations be-

plane In the social world ns he can
possibly reach, and let every good

question of social equality, though no
man can say there will ever be soclnl
unity of the two race*. God made
them oa they are; nnd who can say
that la not what It should be?
canot solve these queetlons now, but
we can put our faith In God. and our
hope In the future, with full assurance
that all will be well. ‘Ephraim will
not eirvy Judah and Judnh will not
trj Ephraim.' but nil will dwell to
gether in brotherly love nnd unity.
"The next great grievance of the
negro Is In regard to his political
rights. Why can he not exercise them
under the. constitution nnd lav h of the
countrj'7 Why doe* the white mnn
Insist on saying that he shall tnke no
part In making and administering the
laws of tbs land? Why Is not his
right to vote recognised, or his vole*
permitted to be heard In public places?
Is there Just cause of complain! ben'
Is there a remedy?
"These are momentous questions, c.nd
should be answered with the most per
feet candor and truth, and with entire
freedom from prejudice and pasalon.
And rlifht here I want to ^ssert my
belief that the time will come when the
full political right* of the negro will
be recognised by the white man of the
South—the only man whoso recognition
nf them will be worth a cent to the ne
gro. And this part of th* problem bo
fore us resolves Itself Into the ques
lion Whether the negro Is willing to
undertake to secure this recognition
from Ills white neighbor and friend.
It Is tHe height of unwisdom for the
negro to expend hts energies and con
sume hla time In denunciation of the
white man on this account; and It Is
sheer folly fop 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
South. Anything Is deplorable which
causee a separation of feeling between
those who live neighbors to each oth
er, and this I* especially true where
the neighbors belong to different rare*.
The most cruel thing that ever hap
pened to a race of people wo* the
course nf conduct of those friends of
the negro, who. viewing hi* situation
nnd surroundings from n distance, and
misjudging the temper and spirit of the
white people of the South, nssumed the
gunrdlanshlp of what they called the
nation's ward, and undertook to regu
late, by a constitutional amendment,
iciaed north of Mason nnd Dlxon'i
Inc, the civil right* of the negro, nnd
upon whom he waa dependent for the
sympathy and co-operatton so much
needed by him In the early beginnings
of his new Ilf*. There were those In the
North, more farsighted than their
brethren, who recognised this truth In
the beginning of the new order of
things, but they were In a hopeless
minority. But the time has come, anil
It Is the most hopeful sign bf the new
century, when the best thinkers ev
erywhere have com* to a recognition
of this mistake, and do not hesltnte
to say so, and the hopeless minority
has swelled Into an overwhelming ma
jority, boding no III to the negro, but
only good; for when the responsibility
for the moral, social and political re
generation and upbuilding of the negro
shall be thrown back fully upon the
Southern whit* people, they will rise
to meet the emergency with a spirit
which will command the admiration of
the world, and provoke a feeling of the
liveliest satisfaction In the mind* of
the friend* of humanity everywhere!

The company was organized the flrst
of . the present year, and on March _
began business In a building erected
for Its sole use at No. 66 Ivy etreet.
The building Is open at all times

of each room are built of reinforced
concrete and the walla are of hard

so arranged that hose can be turned

Object of Company*
Having been extensively engaged

button of milk and Its products, sup.
plying Oeorgla and Tlorida points,
company of milk dealers of McDoii'
ough. Go., formed u corporation with
J. B. Newman as president and estab
lished the business. Twenty-two de
livery wagons are employed dally
supplying the customers with pure
milk, nnil 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 barn*
are especially constructed as to ven
tllatlon nnd cleanliness and the small
arny of laborers are required to be
neat and clean. The large herds of cat
tle, thoroughbreds and high-grade Jer
seys, arc separated on the several
farms of the company and fed with
the best and richest .varieties of food,
f< "'line f". Hi- most of the year upon
meadow lands through which run
streams of fresh, clear water. In milk
lure, cafe i* iiiki n to Insure cleanll
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
one hour Is consumed In transporta'
tlon.
After arrival each can Is sampled
and a test made for percentage of
cream anil other solids. Tho milk
emptied Into a large agitating vat,
where It Is mixed, from which It Is
passed Into a machine and warmed to
Its normal temperature, which Is nec
essary In order to remove all foreign
aobatan***. It then passes Into a , I.irl-
fo-lng machine, running several thou
sand revolutions a minute, thereby
whirling out all Impurities It may have
absorbed cither In tho barn or In the

perior court, whereby the Atlanta
Terminal Company and the Atlanta

chapter to the fight between the baf-
gage companies of Atlanta. The hear

the Atlanta Huggngc and Cab Com
pany, restraining tho latter two from
discriminating against baggage offered
by the American Company. When
taken to tho supreme court the decision
of Judge Pendleton wns reversed, on
the ground that n competing company

held, however, that the state or a pri

there be a monopoly that waa con
trary to the laws of the stale.

sult of the decision of the supreme
court.

contract! between the Atlanta Termi
nal Company and the Atlanta Baggage
and Cab Company be declared null and

the same degree of courtesy, and that
a system of claim checks uaed by the
Atlanta Comtwny makes It a great IJJ*
convenience for other companies to

station.
All this Is declared to create * mo
nopoly which Is detrimental to the in
