"UPHOLDING NORTHERN TRADITIONS”
Recently in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the mayor
ordered over a thousand negroes to migrate, inform
ing them that new citizens of their type and character
1 were not wanted in the old staid city of Johnstown.
These negroes had recently left the south and cast
■ their let with those whom they expected to find
* friendly and agreeable, but it was not long until, by
force, they were given their extradition papers with
instructions to fold their tents, and gypsie like, move
their belongings between suns. These helpless ne
groes in a strange land and among strangers knew
of nothing else to do but move on, and move on they
did—where they have g8ne—no one knows, but it is
known that they shook the dust of Johnstown from
their sandals and sought a safer and more congenial
climate. Now comes the announcement that on
last Saturday the president of the Washington and
Jefferson College refused'to take a negro nlayer off
the football team in order to satisfy the demands of
the football team of Washington and Lee University
of Virginia. The reason given by the president of
this instiution for not complying with the request of
the Virginia football team was that he desired to
“Uphold Northern Traditions.” This institution is
located'near Johnstown—in Washington, Penn., but
evidently the feeling in that community towards the ,
negro is quite different than that in the “flood”
town. However, there are other localities in that
state who do not seek nor want f the negro. The
Public Ledger, published in Philadelphia, gives an
account of the proposed building of a negro church .
in a section not occupied by negroes. The'proposi
tion caused a howl'on the part of the property own
ers and it was claimed that tire erection of the
church'as suggested would destroy the value of the
property.in that section of the city. The protest
was so strong and violent against the negro church
being lpcated near property owned an® occupied by
th e whites that it was. decided that the negro was
not wanted or desired in'any locality in the city.
Such occurrences, go to J show how little the negro is
thought of and appreciated in that state. If he, is
good enough to wait on them and do the VnanUal
labor of the communities, certainly, he . should be
treated humanely and fair, but the real facts in the
case are: These people do not want, nor do they
care any more for the negro than they do for a brute,
except for such purposes to wh,lch he can be utilised
for their benefit.
It is a long lane that does not turn; chickens have
never failed to come home to roost; the negro yet
will live to learn that his best friends are those in
the south with, whom he has been raised and who
know him and' his shortcomings as well as his good
traits. ; It is well the experiment has been made—it
will result in a better understanding between the
while and colored races of the south which will
prove beneficial to both.
! ATHENS AS A COTTON MARKET
Athens ranks sixth in the United States as an In
land cotton market. It has every advantage to offer
to the farmer and cotton grower in the way of fi
nancial and warehouse facilities. The cotton grower
can realize ns much on his. cotton in Athens as can
be advanced in any other section of the Btate and the
safety and convenience offered here is an inducement
to the farmer to market his cotton and warehouse
it where at all times it is under the supervision'of an
auditor independent of any and all warehouses. This
system of warehousing has been in vogue for a num
ber of years and it has proven most satisfactory to
the dealer as well as to the owner of cotton.
Besides the facilities offered by the banks and cot
ton concerns, Athens merchants carry aa large and
vuried stocks of goods and at prices as low as can be
found in any City in the state. Athens welcomes the
Jrople of this section to do their trading here and of
fers them every inducement which is safe and
sound in business principals. < 1
The weekly crop review issued by the government,
shows that practically all cotton has been picked in
1 South Georgia, but in this section of the state there is
Imnch potton yet in the fields which will require sev.
-jfS* itftsks to harvest, With a much less* acreage
than that of last year, the crop in North Georgia will
show a large increase. The farmers have proved
that cotton can be raised under boil weevil condi
tions. The danger, .however, of overcoming the rav
ages of the boll weevil, is that we will plant too
much cotton another year, thereby over supplying
the demand .and causing a reduction in the price.

THE NOVEL
"The Nuptial Flight,*' by Edgar
Lee Masters (Boni and Liveright,
publishers.) Price $2.50.
This discussion, in novel form,
of what happens when the right
man marries the wrong woman
presents the facia in what we con-
vder tho most impressive ways wo
have ever read’. *
The story, vitally interesting and
leaving very little to the imagina
tion. takes np the more serious
phases of married life, and does so
manner that is neither offen
sive or repulsive. It carries one
through the emotions of several
married couples, and shows in con
trast also what happens when tho
right woman gives herself in mar
riage to the wrong man.
The book has its high spots and
these high spots catch and hold
the interest of the reader. It draws
the truest picture possible of what
mean can break any man, no mat-,
ter how strong lie ‘be’, and scattei
friends and sow dissension in
homes that bad v been‘happy before
her advent on the scene.
AU told, it is a strong book. Ond*
Well worth reading, though it
should be rend with on open min*
and one willing to recognize the
rood from the bad, the true from
the false.
It is the story of a common man.
