SOUTHERN WRITER IN MACON
DAILY DEMANDS FEDERAL
ANTI-LYNCH LAW.
New York, Oct. 24.—The only
hope of stopping the “blight of mass
murder,” or lynching, in the South
is a i # Jeral anti-lyncbing law, in the
opinion of Coleman Hill, columnist
in one of the South’s leading dailies,
the Macon, Ga., Telegraph.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People has
received a clipping of Mr. Hill s col
umn, "“which is a most daring ar
raignment of Georgia’s Gover
Hardman and his inactio nin face
of the increasing number of mob
murders. “He has listened not to
the rumblings of the lawless rebel
lion that is sweeping Georgia,
writes Mr. Hill, “but to the radio
whimsies of Amos and Andy. . • •
The lynching history of this year is
convincing proof that only one hope
remains fit eliminating our blight
of mass murder. I have never been
one to desire suppression of evils
by law. In the entire course of this
column I 10 'e not, so far as I can
recall, urged legislation as a reme
dy for social ills. The disastrous ad
ministration of the Volstead act has
been sufficient evidence that statute
may be useless. Yet in the present
emergency I believe a Federal anti
lyrching law the only possible cure.
Perhaps it will not work. The need
is so pressing that it MUST be
tried.”
Later in his column Mr. Hid
writes: “A recent news note told
that representatives of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colord People in New York were n
gagd in drawing up a statute to be
introduced in the next session of
Congress; and because I value our
character nrore than our pyide, l
heartilv hope that it will go
through.”
Economic Status
Of Negro Studied
Washington, Oct.— (Special To
The Associated Negro Press) Re
porting to President Herbert Hoov
er the results of a nation-wide cur
vey of the economic situation facing
the Negro in America today, a coih
mittee of experts, composed of a
number of America’s foremost stud
ents and economists, presented this
week a resume of the facts which
their study has disclosed.
The survey had been suggested by
President Hoover, who, in addresses
and in personal convei'Jation with
leaders of the Negro group, has ex
pi'essed a keen interest in the de
velopment of a program which
might improve the economic condi
tion of the Negro population of the
country. The study was made under
a grant from the Julius Rosenwald
Fund.
According to the report, which
was prepared for the committee by
Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., Research
Professor in the Institute for Re
search in Social Science of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, and in
which he had the cooperation of a
corps of trained white and colored
assistants, the Negro, north and
south, has been gaining in certain
lasses of occupations and losing in
others. Agriculturally the report
rointed cut the Negro is involved in
the general farm problem of the
nation, particu arly of the south.
“America has today on southern
farms, a great l’eservoir of labor,’’
the reDort said.
“The population both Negro ana
white, is rapidly increasing by ex
cess of births over deaths. Approxi
mately 80,000 more Negroes and
300,000 more white people are born
each year than the number who die,
in this area. The increase is taking
place in a region which under the
present system of agriculture will
not adequately support those now
living there, so that the excess is
drained off to the cities.
“The productivity of Southern
agricultural laborers is low. Their
gross productivity is about one-halr
of that cf agricultural laborers in
other sections.
“As a part of the general agri
cultural situation the Negro farmer
1 in the South relies upon the one
crop system. He is subject to grave
fluctuations in the price of cotton
and tobacco and does not raise a
sufficient proportion of his own food
and feed. He is involved in the ten
ant organization, is dependent upo^
exorbitant credit facilities, and until
recently, has been subject to unsat
isfactory market conditions.
“In so far as the Negro is a part
of the general problem of agricul
tur ein the South, such steps as are
being taken to help agriculture in
general should result in his im
provement, if care is taken to see
that these general programs are as
effective for the Negro as for th°
white farmer. But it may be that ad
ditional efforts can usefully be made
“The pressure which is driving
from country to city a substantial
part of the rural population. does
not, in the Committee’s judgment,
mean that the be=t farmers are leav
ing the land. Indeed, the fa t-finding
renort shows that there are many
successful Negro farmers under
present conditions, and a part of j
the proposed pro<rarm is to encour- |
a-’-e these and to increase their num-;
her.

‘ MOST MARyELOUS MEDICINE.,’
SAYS GRATEFUL CITIZEN
MR. JOHN H. JONES
Photo By The Brown*.
Richmond Man Finds Out What New
And Different Medicine Can Do
You will admit that when seven million bottles of
Konjola were used in two years that Konjola must
have merit. Well, Konjola is actually 32 medicines
in one, and of these 32 ingredients 22 are the juices
of roots and herbs known for their medicinal value.
Results are what count, and Konjola can be counted
on for results. Take, for example, the case of Mr.
John H. Jones, 504 Randolph Street, Richmond. See
what this amazing medicine did for him, and then
decide to find out all about it from the Konjola
Man, who is at the Peoples Service drug store, 101
East Broad Street, this city. Learn how Konjola
cleanses the ailing organs; rids the system of poi
sons and brings glorious relief from ills of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bow’els, and from rheu
matism, neuritis and nervousness.
“Konjola is the most marvelous medicine I have
ever found. For several years I had stomach dis
tress almost constantly, and especially after meals.
Gas formed and a hot, sour liquid came up into my
mouth. This almost choked me. When I thied to
sleep the gas pressed against my heart so that I
could hardly get my breath. Constipation, liver
disorders and nervousness added to my trouble. 1
despaired of ever finding relief. But friends kept
urging me to give Konjola a trial. I can never tell
how happy I am over the results from five bottles.
My stomach troubles are over and today I can eat
anything. My bowels and liver are functioning nat
urally, and I feel like a new man, full of life and
energy. I shall never hesitate to recommend Kon
jola to my friends.”
So it goes; victory after victory. Konjola is for
the aged or the infant, and triumphs, in case after
case, where all else tried has failed.
The Konjola Man is at the Peoples Service drug
store, 101 East Broad Street, Richmond, where
daily he is meeting the public and explaining the
merits of this new and different medicine.

occupations. Bq ly2u one-third or
the xxegro population was in cities,
and the census oi lydU will show an
even larger proportion.
Looses in one class of occupations
have been offset by gains in others,
out the shixts have worked great
hardship. The losses have been in
certain skilled trades and in muni
cipal employment in the South, and
in jobs such as waiters and barbers,
both South and North. The great
est gain in Negro employment from
lblu to 1920 (the last year ior
which census material is available)
was in steel, meat packing, rubber,
and automotive industries. Ques
tionnaires indicate that the major
plants which employed Negroes be
fore 1920 have since continued to
employ them in about the same num
bers.
The Committee notes that there
are obstacles to the rise of Negroes
into the higher paying jobs, but both
the census of 1920 and the fact
finding report of Dr. Woof ter indi
cate an encouraging increase in Ne
gro employment in skilled and semi
skilled occupations.
The Committee believes—
1. That facilities for industrial ed
ucation for Negroes require strength
ening.
2. That trained personnel work
ers or counselors in vocational and
educational guidance are necessary
in Negro high schools.
3. That, as in the case of agricul
ture, faciities to raise the economic
status of Negro workers, such as
those of the Federal Board for Vo
cational Education and the Depart
ment of Labor, should be extended.
4. That employment bureaus
should be developed which will be

WHITE SPEAKS IN 1-REb.CH
LICK ON “N. A. A. C. P.
VERSUS MOB."
New York, Oct 24.—Walter
White, Acting Secretary of the ra
tional Association lor the Advance
ment of Colored People, is speaking
tonight in Trench Lick, Indiana, on
“The N. A. A. C. P. Versus tne
Mob,” with particular reference to
the brutal lynching in Marion, In«i.,
of two colored men on August 7.
Judge Charles F. Kemy, of tne In
diana Appellate Court, has also been
invited to speak at this meeting.'
Latest reports from Indiana, fol
lowing the failure of the Marion
Grand Jury to indict the lyr.-sTs,
state that Attorney General Oguen
has personally filed criminal proceed
ings in the Grant Circuit Court
against Sheriff Jacob Campbell and
seven alleged leaders of the lynching
mob.
The names of 27 persons known
to have been in the mob, and alle
gations of neglect of duty by the
sheriff, were submitted to Attorney
General Ogden by the N. A. A. C. P.
following an investigation on the
scene by Mr. White. The sheriff i3
Grant County Republican chairman
and a member of the governor’s
crime commission. It was charged
by the N. A. A. C. P. that the fail
doors were left unlocked and that
although it wa sgenerally known a
lynching was planned the sheriff
made no effective plans to protect
his prisoners.

“The home with a telephone is more

the telephone is your most convenient

AND HE’S RIGHT!
A TELEPHONE in the home is indispensable. It can
make life easier in a thousand and one ways- It runs er
rands, makes engagements, summons help on the double
quick in emergencies and provides a means for those friend
ly chats so particularly dear to the feminine heart.
COST? Nothing to it. Telephone service in your home
will cost only a few cents a day. Let our special repre
