“CHICKENS COME HOME TO ROOST*
’Judp Gordon Knox Glad
" He Is Old-Line Demccrat
Instead of Hoovercrat
Mr. Otto Middleton, ‘
Editor Hazlehurst News,
Hazleeurst, Georgia. E ‘
Dear Mr, Editor: \
There isan old ajage to the
effect ‘‘that chickens comei
home to roost,”’ and the truth ‘
of this saying is aptlyillustrated
in prees dispatches from Waah-‘
ington last week giving an
account of a luncheon given by
President and Mrs. Hoover in
honor of Representative and
Mrs. Oscar de Priest, of Illi
nois.
The significance of this dis- |
patch is the fact that “de Priest)
is a republican negro who has
been elected to Congress by the
Republ ¢ns of Illinois, and this
act on the part of President
and Mrs. Hoover is nothing
more or less thata direct and
positive declaration in favor of
social equality between the
white and black races.
Following upon this dispatch
is another this week to the
effect that de Priest is doing
some entertaining himself, and
that he has issued invitations to
all the Republican members of
Congress to attend a musicale
to be given in Chicago. The
avowed purpose of this function
is to raise a fund of two hun
dred thousand dollars to defray
the expense of litigation to be
brought in an effort to destroy
the white primary laws in exist:
ence in Georgia and other
Southern States. N
These dispatches {rom Wash
ington should be of especial
interest to those Southern
Democrats, who last Fall de
serted the ‘‘Faith of their
Fathers’’ in orderito elect Her
bert Hoover President of the
United States. Despite the
fact that Mr. Hoover carried
Virginia, Texas, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and
Florida, not the slightest recog
nition was given the South in
the selection of his Cabinet,
nor has any Southern Congress
man been honored with the
social recognition accorded this
Illinois negro.
It therefore appears that
President Hoover is not dis
posed to give his new allies in
the South either political or
gocial recognition, but, on the
contrary, prefers the society of
the colored brother from Illi
nois. In addition his party has
given almost unanimous ap
proval to de Priest’s movement
to destroy our white primary
laws by the acceptance of his
invitation to attend the musicale
given for this very purpose.
In the light of these develop
ments I am truly thankful that
the respoasibility of electing
Hoover President cannot Le
laid at my door, and I have less
inclination now to vote the
Republican Ticket thanl have
ever had in my life. Verily
“'Politics does make strange
bedfellows’’ and the *‘Chickens
of the Hoover Democrats in the
South are certainly coming
home with & vengeance.’’
: Yours very truly,
; Gordon Knox.

Homer Corbitt, of Kirkland,
have moved from that com

their future home. gy

of their beautiful new brick
building and the stone tablet at
the entrance of the school bears

Like the kind of town you like,
You needn’t put your clothes in

It’s a knock at yourself when
you knock your town,
It isn’t the town, it’s you.
