The Key to the Whole Situation MONDAY, NOVEMBER, l'J, 1!IM Thoughts For The Day LET 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.
