MEMBERSHIP DRIVE FOR N.
X A. C.
Next week there is to be an
1 intensive drive for at least one
thousand members~for~~the Nak-ionai
Association, for the Ad^vancement.
of Colored People.
If the colored people could but
.understand the good work that
thic A .liGrvmaHnn VLQQ /IOTIO anH
is doing in the effort to make
I American .citizenship really
mp;m ^nrrmthinp for them, this
number1 would be easily obtained.
Colored people are great
, "jiners" when it comes to societies
that provide a "death benefit,"
but when it comes to agencies
that provide ft-^hvihg benefit"
they see ma little shy. BuT
be fimo has come when more
thought must given to living
A. C. P. by its work has a claim
:>n the . support of every "Negro
of-thought:- Let everyon? next
week in particular tafk and work
for. the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
People. Let's have the one
thousand members. *

bcearhe Governor of the Stalte
Tuesday. His inaugural addre'ss
was a strong one; "bristling with
many good thoughts. -The Governor
however in discussing the
State Colleges, and urging a
strong support of them seemed
to have forgotten altogether
that thtjre is one devoted to the

?* v*\ * . : from
his lips .as to that. Maybe
though, his Excellency wilt
not forget the orphan half of
the?State-when action and?not ,words
is the order of the day.
Let us hope so at any. rate; espemiry.
since the Governor^ expressed
,himself as having "the
abiding faith" in the "guiding
hand and sustaining grace of
Almighty God." .
TlTe "Governor's discussion of
law enforcement is especially
strong. It could hardly b^;Qthercv^st!
for it* comes from "-a.

mpy-sagfi as Governor to the leg
islature discusses at lengtl
lynching, with particular, refer
ence to the brutal lynching o
the Lowm&ns?a woman, i
child anfl a man?in Aiken Oc
tober last, which he calls right
ly a "horrible and uncalled foi
murder." The Governor defeh<
ed himself against, the widel;
published charge that he' , die
nothing about investigating
with a v\iew of bringing th<
'jlL:? ?? ii.
|jci |j*;timers ty juaui;*?, tin
'lynching until other agericiei
got on the job. Instead, he sait
"very early after the lynchinj
an earnest and sincere investi
gation was begun on my par
and considerable progress made
Therevhas not.been anylet-u]
of energetic investigation sinc<
I began-the inquiry on the 18tl

Next week'," perhaps, when th<

Governor McLeod,?however
doeft not stop with a denunciation
of lynching. He proposes
and recommended certain things

This of course, would appea

commendation is that all officers
be compelled to suscribe to ar

effect that they had "not "taker

would be only too glad to oppos<
