i “Get ycur own school in Ameri
cus in better financial shape before i
you try to run the county schools,’’■
said Mr. Hogg and he also said that
he thought the negro school matter
was something tiiat “our paper’’
should let alone.
“We can run our schools without |
the aid of the county paper or the I
Rotary club,” said Mr. Hogg, “andi
I know and we in the country know'
that you gentlemen of the board I
will do your duty without outsid" j

J. L. Johnson, of the Huntington
school asked the board not to dis
continue the negro school at or
near Huntington. “They want to
take our white school away from us
(referring to the consolidation of
the Huntington and Anthony school
districts), and now you gentlemen, i
as I understand it, would remove;
our negro school. You should not;
do this. We must have our schools, I
both of them,” he said.
Mr. Johnson said if the negro
school was discontinued the negroes

there was a school nearby, thus de
priving the Huntington farmers of
negro labor.
He also criticized the Rotary
club s resolution and said that the
figures furnished the club were not
correct in many instances. He said
the negroes in the county, outside
of Americus, - pay into the state
treasury about $1,150 and that only
SBOO of that amount comes back to
the county, and “yet you gentlemen
of the board have appropriated $6,-
000 or more for negro education,”
said Mr. Johnson.
“Our negroes realize that their
white friends are doing their best
for them and they should be told
that we are taking our white prop
erty in the school districts to help
run the negro schools. Wi white
folks don’t get back all we pay out
in taxes, but the negroes get six or
eight times more than they pay. In
the Huntington school district the
negroes pay for local school taxes
only about SSO or $60.”
Col. Shipp, speaking after Mr.
Johnson, said “we give the negro
schools six times as much as the
negroes themselves pay in, and I
want to emphasize the fact that
every negro school gets every dollar
that the negroes pay in to this board
or their school fund in school taxes.
“Our county is doing more for
the negroes in the county, so Mr.
Ballard says, than any other county
in the state and I know we are do
ing more than any of the adjoining
counties. The greatest difficulty
we have on this board is getting a
sufficient number of .trained negro
teachers.
“As to our cutting down appro
priations, we have but we have cut

“We dropped one vocational

We believe he will do better work,

We have made this vocational teach

more than 50 cents or a $1 a month.
However, while doing this cutting
we also were doing some raising of
salaries so that next term we won’t

The board decided to open the
white schools this term on August
31, and granted the pupils and
teachers of the white schools a two
weeks Christmas vacation, instead
oi only one week.
During the day the board listened
with patience and interest to a num

the negro problem with the board.

evidence of close sympathy ty the
board for the negroes .•Hid the ne
