statement, and sent copies of it to the
press of Georgia, the judges, sher
iffs, and members of the general as
sembly. and to the clergy of the
state, inviting suggestions from all.
Having met again at the call of our
chairman on May 26, to consider fur
ther the matter o trace relations in
the state, wc deeire to set forth cer
tain facte and principles, which we
believe will meet with the approval of
the majority of Georgians.
Governor Dorsey has placed before
ns 135 coses of the alleged mistreat
ment of negroes called to his offi
cial attention in the last two years.
Only two of the eases have' been se
riously questioned. The majority of
them are confirmed by letters from
sheriffs, solicitors-gcncral, and the
report of tho adjutant-general of the
state, nnd by letters from business
men and citisens whose standing can
not be questioned. The mistreatment
shown ranges from burning to beat,
ing and threats to kill.
These 135 cases added to the 415
lynchings of negroea which have oc
curred in Georgia in the past thirty-
five ydkra shock the conscience of all
Georgia. They demand a remedy. He
who would oppose an intelligent ef
fort to correct such conditions should
be, and will be recognised either as
an enemy to the common good, or
man lost to reason.
A threefold danger, economic, civ
ic and moral, threatens the state.
In two counties of Georgia, not
one negro remains, fh others, the
negro has fled from farms, hot to
escape peonage, or a cruel employer,
but because ruffians have threaten
ed him with death, if he stays and
works. His employer has been will
ing to protect him, hut at last the
night riding terror had driven him
away.
Our farms must have negro, lab
or, if agriculture i* to continue tho
basis of our wealth.
But worse than the loss of the he-
gro labor, is the ultimate anarchy
that must result, if lawless groups in
any county are permitted to continue
to drive people away at will.
The spread of lynching is seen by
all. Wc condemn with unuttcrablo
loathing the unmentionable crime so
often given as an excuse to justify
lynching, bnt we recognize that,
while lynching has not stopped thnt
occasional crime, the crimiT of lynch
ing has grown. A womnn has been
ligent conferences and co-opcration
between the leaders of both races—
8. Publicity—knowledge of the
facts will end any evil—
9. The gospel of justice, mercy,
and mutual forbearance for all.
We oppose:
1. Social equality between the
races— 2. Political dhrdhietaoish
2. Politicians seeking office by

Men accused of trivial offenses, and
whitea have been lynched, and none
knows how many mistakes have been
made.
The most sacred right of person
snd property are put in jeopardy
for all. when cowardly mobs can deny
the right* of indictment and trial by
jury and lynch men and women at
will.
The moral peril is greater. The
negro does not and cannot threaten
white supremacy. Rc neither desire#
xpects social equality..’ The ne
gro is not so stupid. He a#k# only
for justice. And no civilization can
refuse to give him justice and sur-
e. History shows that the strong-
race denying justice to the weak-
people destroy* its own moral
fiber and ultimately brings destruc
tion upon itself.
Therefore we ask our fellow citi
zens to unite with us in upbuild
ing w^hite supremacy by maintaining
the principles of righteousness and
justice upon which white supremacy
depends.
We have no affiliation with the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of thc Colored People”
or any other similar organization
within or without the State of Geor
gia.
We advocate:
Education for all — none
should be left to learn by chance
those things which civilization de
mands of man regardless of color—
