A TOURIST CAMP FOR ATHENS
A tourist camp could be made a most valuable
asset for Athens by disseminating advertising mat-"
ter and exhibiting ail kinds of agricutural products
adaptable to this section.
While the city hail lot is,now being used for that
purpose, the space is not sufficient nor is the loca
tion suitable or desirable for a camp. Such a place
should be located on a larger lot and provided with
conveniences and in charge of some one. Exhibits of
all kinds and advertising matter should be distri
buted among the tourists with a view of reaching
homeseekers and investors. If the tourists passing
through are not interested it would be a good ad
vertisement and through them others might be
reached who would make good citizens if induced to
locate here. '
There are thousands of tourists traveling over the
country and many of them on their way to and from
Florida who'stop over in this city. Our advantages
properly presented are bound to have a good effect
and attract the attention of those who desire to leave
the colder sections of the country and locate in a
warmer section and where crops can be grown the
year round.
If the authorities of the city and county do not
become interested in such an enterprise we believe
that it would be a paying industry fqr private owner
ship to install a camp with all the requirements of
the tourists showing them some attention and pro
viding them with literature on Athens and Clarke
county and displaying exhibits of/ corn, oats, wheat,
hay, poultry, canned goods and preserves and all
such as are now being produced in this section.
Clarke and surrounding conties are making rapid
strides in diversifying crops and raising foodstuffs.
The lands are the most fertile in thfc state and the
seasons open for production from January to Jan
uary. The project is^worth thinking over. Certain
ly we should move the present camp site from the
.city hall lot.
SOUTHERN NEGROES KNOW BEST
A negro publication in New York is greatly dis
tressed over the indifference of the negroes from the
south in exercising their right to vote in that city.
In speaking of the negroes from this section of the
country and of the negroes in Harlem, the publica
tion has this to say:
Thousands of negroes in Harlem fail to regis
ter and vote. Many of them formerly lived in
the South, which they deserted because of dis
franchisement, "Jim Crow” and other nefarious
laws. Yet they refuse to exercise their right of
' citizenship at the polls after having been denied
this great privilege in the south. While In the
South disfranchisement is a vital issue to ne
groes, but so many lose all interest In voting
just as soon as their feet touch "Northern soil.
Then all clamor about the abridgment of their
rights and privileges guaranteed them by the
constitution of the United States ends.
But one reason can be assigned to the com
parative small vote cast by negroes in Harlem at
all eections, and that is their downright indif
ference.
If there is any place in the United States
where the negro enjoys full and unrestircted
citizenship it is in New York. Men and women
of the race talk much about securing race repre
sentation in the assembly and aldermanic board,
but when the time arrives for talk to materialize
into concerted action negroes in Harlem are
found indifferent and shamefully disinterested.
In the South the white people disfranchise the
negVo; in the North the negro disfranchises him
self- . Who should come in for stronger criticism?
The negroes of the south have every opportunity to
vote, if they so desire. The white people of this
section of the country do not in any manner dis
courage or intimidate them in their right of cast,
ing their ballots- They are left free to vote as they
please and as often as the elections are held, muni
rinal, state and national. The only requirement
being that they meet the qualification requirements.
If they pay their taxes and register they can vote
the same as the white man. All this talk and
clamor from the republicans charging that the ne
gro is not allowed to cast his ballot in the south is
nothing short' of poppy-cock politics and used for
the purpose of prejudicing the mind,s of the people
in that section of the country against the white peo
ple and the democrats of the south-
Since the migration of the large number of ne
groes to eastern states the people of that section
are having their eyes opened and the true condition
of affairs in the south are being recognized- The
migration of the negro will prove a blessing to this
action in more ways than one. It will set at rest in
large measure, the charge against the people of
the south that the negro is disfranchised and not
allowed to vote, besides they will learn the true
: * character of the negro and his advantages and dis-
- advantages to all communities.
