CIATION FOR THE AD VANCEMENT OF COLORL ED PEOPLE. This organization is engaged i * ~ . . i II - WWi * i i jin fighting for the ordinary i rights of an American citizen for jthp Negro. That in this coun, I try. of boasted democracy there ; should be the necessity of such an organization is all but enough to give the lie to the high sounding phrase of "govern,! ment of the people, by the peptide .and for the people." But the - necessity is here and the organir zalion is'here.?The work alrear dy accomplished by-?this Association has more than justified its r existence. Whenever rights are r denied the Negro because of his r race and contrary to the spirit - if not aLway s the letter of the i Constitution of the country, the Association is found on the fir} ing- -line. It takes money to Contend as it docs.?Right now, 1 it is engaged in costly legal bat1 ties seekincr to nrotect the race " in its American rights and privileges^ It is appealing foi^$50,.{000 to carry on the work. What ja pitiful sum to ask for when it '1 is remembered it is battling for ' i twelve million colored citizens! This ainuuiiL ought be sent in " less than a week after the need "ihas been- naade known, ^.nd it?' would be if the Negroes of this I 'country reatty wcytdd only- reaijlize what its work means for i their welfare and existence as " colored American ?vho believes " in mmselt, his race, his eitizenship, send at least one dollar.

' v ?* : ? * ~ STATE INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEE MEETING. - Last week, this- committee held its annual meeting in Columbia Perhaps, the great n]ablack, did not know that such a meeting was in their midsty and yet no more.important g^th f.Ting will be-in this city at. any dime. This committee-is composed of-some of the rrrost^outstanding men and women of the state, whit?-ajid black, and-,after all is-said"afti^don6, the one ,object i)f its existence is to prove- whether or not- the Chris-! tian religion is strong enough toonabfe the wHttesr and"b 1 aek.^ to live together in peace and 7 harmony. Eactr race, contnb-j fare of all. This committpq which i-; t ho St-On f1ivi>;inr> r>f the greater body is engaged -problems which cause misun"derstanding between the races and prevent that cordial feeling . Old methods atid ideas of going at the race problem are not coddled but are dissected and | thrown aside when the examinaI iobvincfi n v*rl f Vi a n*ta%? ac< a 4 loiincoo cx nu 11 ic [J1COCUU companion,_in justice. j As an instance of attacking a time worn boast of the whites, j M-r. Thos. F. Parker, a very wealthy gentlemah-from Green-' ;ville, said, "The ignorance of the white man, the Southern white man or at least the white man of Greenville, of the Negro .is little short of-appalling.?It |4k ama&ing how little we know .about conditions in our communities I've lived with Negroes about me all my life and I find i it is precious little I know of I thorn" Now, isn't that just ,why most of the^misunderstnding comes about? The experience of Mr. Parker cannot dif+fer much from Jthat of. eyery i other deeent, intelligent, white man. None of them know much about the Negro, despite the boast that "we know the Negro." If the Inter-racial Committee does nothing else other than get~ ting the white man to really ; know the Negro, it will go down in history as an agency that ac' > * ?IL_.
