"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.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11. un 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.
