The twenty-ninth annual session of s g the Tuskegee Negro Conference which r g just ended at Tuskegee, Ala., last t ? Saturday issued the following declar- r fg ation which will be of especial inter- j g est to Negro readers of The County c *8 Record: . j g "The world has just gone through \ I a most unusual year. Though it has j been a year of nominal peace, it has f been filled with anxieties, unrest, (lis- j turbances and strife. Our own coun- f try has suffered from agitation, pro- r tests, strikes and mob violence. The t South is that section of the country j which was freest from organized (lis- c order and veiled attacks against the c government and society. This is due f in no small measure to the fact that the masses of laborers in the South ^ are negroes, to whom love of country t is dominant. Contrary to anxious and a I suggestive prediction, thousands of t rtegro soldiers returned during the f year from patriotic service in foreign a countries, and qpietly went to work j in the Southland, despite the fact that ? this meant for them returning to con- r ditions often the very opposite of 0 those they had fought to establish ^ for men across the seas. These men c have lost none of their augmented desire for freedom, justice and fair play; but they have the courage and faith to work patiently and peaceably ! toward those ends right here in the | South. With their attitude this con-! ference is in sympathy and accord. And we would encourage colored people everywhere in their splendid, unshaken loyalty to their country and to their communities. For The Farmers. "We would also urge our people to continue to profit by the lessons of industry and thrift . so effectively taught by. war conditions, and to keep up the increased 'impetus to acquire homes and farms. But we would remind them that, in order to make these farms yield their greatest re^ turns, they must intensify their farming and practice diversification, which in vpars has Droved so srreat a ?8 benefit to the South. And especially g does this conference urge farmers to ^ grow sufficient food for their families p and feed for their stock, and to raise J" more and better poultry, hogs and ~ cattle. And the rapidly increasing S importance of Montgomery, Ala., At^ lanta, Ga., and other places as leading g stock markets, ought in itself to en5 courage Southern farmers in growing lives tock in greater numbers. * 3 "This conference also suggests that g the greatly increased value of farm % products and the better wages which g colored men are now enjoying should j $ result in better homes and schools and I ? churches. Living conditions must be f % greatly improved among our people, 1 if they would lay a sure foundation c for future progress. And even with t tc better homes, there can be no assur- F 6 ed or abiding progress without a de- ? cided increase in intelligence among ^ if the masses of colored people. The war t ^ revealed an appalling amount of ig- c g norance and consequently inefficiency | ?B Qmnnor fViA neo-rnes nf the South. This , I lesson should not be lost upon us. fc Must Be Educated. e "The negro must be educated, or he ^ will be able neither to serve himself effectively nor any one else. Colored people must awake to the fact that less than two-thirds of their children are enrolled in the schools even in such states as Alabama and Virginia, not to mention the less favored corm munities. And, of those enrolled, fewer than one-half are in school every day of the brief school terms. In this connection the conference urges upon school boards the importance of giving a larger and fairer share of the ^ public funds to negro schools to the ] end that they may have larger and i better facilities for the training of t negro youth in intelligence and efficiency. The South has in the negro i not only an enviable amount of trac- i table and potentially capable laborers, but a group of citizens thoroughly j American, who are eager to make their best contribution to the life and I fVic* notirm hiif in ftrrlpr tfi ^ il .^pu 1 t VI wJIV HUViVU) VUV V??a?* give their richest and best they should , be encouraged to achieve their highest possible development. i "The conference suggests to plant- [ ers that they offer more favorable J renting conditions to negro tenants, that they make regularly stated set- ' tlements and that they provide more j comfortable and attractive homes. Far too many of the plantation houses are I no better today than they were in the lean years 40 years ago. And we call upon all people who rent or supply in any way houses for negroes to furnish them better homes with more sanitary surroundings, that negroes may have a chance to live and rear their families in decency and in healfrh. Lynching Deplored "The conference wishes to reaffirm ^ its opposition to the discrimination iracticed against negroes by railroads md other common carriers. This dis- I rimination is unnecessary and un- ? air. There is an indefensible in jusice in charging negroes first-class are and providing them with third md fourth class accommodations. "This conference believes in law ind order, and asks for negroes only chat the courts above other agencies J hould give?impartial justice. If legroes commit crimes they should >e punished by the courts and not by nobs. We especially deplore lvnchngs, and we restate whal is appar ntly too little known and seldom retarded, that rape is not even the aleged cause of 80 per cent, of the ynchings. We insist that better and aircr methods must be used for ad- j usting so many of the ordinary diferences arising between man and nan than lynching and the subsequent errorizing of a whole people. Nothng is doing more to drive the negro >ut of the South. Lynching is the ure for nothing. It merely creates ] urther disregard for law and order. "This conference believes that the >est methods of meeting the difficulies that arise between the races in <1 iny community is to bring together [' he leaders of the two races in con- , erence. And we call upon the white c ind colored people in every commun- e ty to co-operate and help make the r South what it should and can be 'j nade?the finest example in the world r >f people of different races living ogether in mutual respect, helpful ]' o-operation and peace." _ it f w A To abort a cold and nr#?vpnt rnnf. f plications, take n es ; The purified and refined j calomel tablets that are nausealess, safe and Aire. j Medicinal virtues retain* * ( ed and improved.
