Editor Tribunt
Dear bir—l thought that there
could be no bette- time than now to,
impress this idea home to th” minds I
of our people t<» pay their poll lax
here we have in our midst this
sion of the A. M. E. Conference
those ministers should be impressed
through your paper to call upon
their charges to pay their poll tax.
it re a duty that has been too long
neglected by ns as a people. We
ought at some time rise up en masse
and lift off ourselves the stigma
cast upon us by the dominant race
that we do not appreciate freedom
for ourselves as education for our
children from the little interest
manifested by us. It is the duty of
of every colored man to pay his poll
tax that the cause of education
Ikg for want of our support and it
I has been very often said and very
I truthfully too, that the tax paid hy
the white race h id to help educate
the colored people’s children. No.v
friends we can not longer submit to
that imputation when we know that
the same is true. Let us as a peo
pie fry and redeem ourselves. How
cm we expect due recognition
when we do not equally bear our
part of the public debt. Let us
come out from the lethargie state
into which we have fallen; that man
has no lion- r that will fold up his
hinds and allow another to edn
cate his children without doing
what in his power lie’ toward it
himself. There are thousands of
dollars annually squandered that
would build for our children homes,
institutions of learning and manu
factories and every otln-r appropri
ate place that a civilized people
ought to possess. We cannot allow
the education of the masses »o be
neglected, for upon tliai alone de
pends not only- our own elevation,

CALL FORAOONVENTIOti.
To the Colored Citizeiu of Georgia',
The matter of having a consultation meet
ing of the leading colored men of the State,
has been under discussion for some time On
the 24t h day of November, 1887, a number of
gentlemen, met in the City of Macon, Ga, In
discuss the advisability of making a call. Af
ter fully considering the matter, it was unani
mously decided to invite the lea ling color 1
men of Georgia, to meet. In the city of Macon
on Wednesday morning January 25th. 1888, at
to o'clock The chairman of that meeting, Rev.
W. .1 White was appointed to prepare and
Issue a eali for this meeting.
it is not deemed necessary to enter into de
tails in this call beyond stating that we believe
the time has come when the colored men of
Georgia should meet consult and agree upon
some wise course of future action, for the pro
motion of the race’s welfare. After more than
2 > years of freedom and Its benefits, with thou
sands of our people greatly advanced from the
degratlon of slavery days, the colored n.e.n ut
Georgia find a predominating sentiment
among their white feilow citizens, to keep
them in a condition largely assimilating to
their condition when held in bondage But as
tiiedarkest cloud has Its silver lining, so the
colored men of Georgia see some rays of hope
in the fact that a large number of the best
white people of the Stale are ready and willing
to give them a fair chance in the race of life.
The present Chain-Gang and Penctentiary
System of Georgia is simply barbarous, and
vet no past legislature lias removed this foul
blot Every attempt at improvement has
failed and as matter of fact, the helpless con
victs of Hie State are being made tlie subject*
of cruelty far beyond the limit authorized by
the statutes,even in providing for tlx- enforce
ment of the most rigid discipline. The educa
tional facilities afforded by the state are totally
Inadequate to the needs of the people ami yet
tiie colored people are deprived ot a just share
of the small amount provided for this purpose
Under the influence of an unrelenting ami
senseless prejudice, the legislature at its last
session, lias connected with tiie continuance of
the annual appropriation of Kight Thousand
Dollars to the Atlanta University, conditions
which amount to a virtual withdrawal of this
money from that school This action was
taken In the face of the fact that appropria
tions to the white institutions of learning wen*
larger this than in former heart. The colored
men of Georgia owe it to themselves, and their
children to organize and unite their strength
with the good white people of tiie Suite for the
removal of existing evils and the aectirement
of more of the ben tils to which tlivit citizen
ship entitles them- Thiscall is addressed to all
classes of our people mid we trust the people
will interest themselves in raising monep tons
s’st their leaders to attend. Ministers of the
uosnel. School Teachers. Professional Men. the
Farmer, the Merchant, tiie Me. lianic. tiie Artl
zan. and the Wage-Worker, are Invited to at
tend ' people who will not try to help them
selves. cannot expect t.tilers to help them 1 .et
us help ourselves and ask t iie laird to turn tiie
hearts of ot hers to our help.
|y AH those intend ng to go to the
C tiv» ntion are requested to (forward their
n im--s to me at once so that I ni.iv obtain
red med fare.
