The Aiken Grand Jury Gives Up'
; After a few gestures of mak-i
ing an investigation of the bru-1
?+ tal lynching of a woman; a boy'
and a young man a few weeks
. ? ? ago,-the Aiken County Grand
.Jury has reported U> the judge; 1
1 that it could not find evidence!
enough to hold anyone resnonsirj _
? ble. There is nothing surpris-i
ing about that. Indeed, no one j
expected anything else, and the |
surprise of the century .would
have been the presenting of!
any one connected with such I
brutal murders. Those are not:
the kind of murders' that law
officers find out. They only fur- "
nish the occasion for an expres'
v.. aiir ofjregrefc on the part of-guud f
_ citizens. But the serious part!
of it is this: Is South Carolina;.
. - so important that mob murder I
can be pulled off at any time and
yet nothing be done about it?
If fp, then there is no goverfi
ment irf~this State worthy of
__ respect. But who believes
that? The truth of the matter .
is, South Caroline? is sympathe- j
_ tic with such murders, and as'

..to the article, after discussing
:the-dlfflcultlgs to get exact-data?as
to Negro public schools and
the failure of the authorities to
publish yearly details as tp in"Since
this is ^not done it has
seemed 'necessary tlial special t
inquiry into the condition . of
Negro schools in certain states
should be made. The.? Crisis
Magazine laid a plan for such
j study boforo the Board of Di- rectors
of the American Fund
for Public" Service (formerly"
known as the Garland Fund) j
and a. grant ^;n _
study was made in 1925."
It is reasonable then to suppose
that if that sulrh were given
simply for South Carolina.
Dr. DuBois would have, first of..
all, made a study of Georgia and "statement"?
This study as pub- "
lished must have been read by 1
the Editor, gt tne Pittsburg Courier.
If he did read .it, could it ,
be said that the attack was in ~
good faith ? If he did not, was
it not his duty to Tully inform
himself before attempting to
cast suspicion?
The Courier gives six reasons
why it jjo&_ii_ot agree with "the
methods, of the DuBois-John-son
combination." Of " course
every one is free to "agree or
not agree with^-the methods of
any institution which he supports,
but, in this instance can
the Pittsburgh Courier give any
assurance that the methods. 11
would adopt will" accomplish
much? Until it can offer something
better, let :it be ? hoped
that it .will continue to give its
^support, rather thari" simply, assume
,the role 01 3. critic. The
N. A. A. C. P.- is needed. Its
.past accomplishments have more
than justified the support and
confidence of the public.

After catching the spell of its

when^ more-than one voice has
been heard to say that sculp-'

"rought creative forces that
may prove to be inexaustible.";
. Some of us have heard things

upon these'few we have been
unable to appreciate Ihjjfc^lgv

new to lopk at these illustrations,
whefe' they show special
beauty, and it attmpts to put
eus in-sympathy with the ar- J
f si. who made -Uta mask or 'fot'-j

tion of the surroundings anclj
the psychology of the Negrof
who, after a period of intense
activity, spent days of pleasant
idleness carving with his knife
the image- that was an import
tant part of his household life.
One of the first things that:
we.learn is that we mu?,t look
upon the Negro statue with
eyes ready to recognize the liew
riot unable to accept Snything
but the^ old. Academic sculpture
is Greek with its lowing
draperies, its effort to anproach
reality as nearly as possible.
