Negroes and Crimes In
gone by days there white
people's crimes and Negroes'
crimes. And from the, catalog of
crimes committed it could b e
easily determined whether a white
person or a Negro was guilty of
tha-offense before starting an investigation.
It used to be that Ne
groes would not dare think o f
eommitting some misdemeanors.
But Negroes are so prone to follow
white people that today they
are guilty of every crime common
to white people from highway
irobbery to suicide. Crimes which
carry with them capital punishment
are being committed by Ne
groes same as other people. There
is no use of saying they are innocent
In some cases they are;
"while in others they are as* guilty
n? cnn bo, There are some Ne
when they get a drink of liquoi
or even smell a liquor bottle will
do arty low thing they are big
enough to do. They have no ve
spect whatever for the church pi
their own women. They regard on
ly a pcliceman's club when it is
administered severely upon theii
good fcr nothing heads. Ever}
self respecting Negro should b(
a member of the NAACP anc
give it their fiill support. Thi
Association is a mighty fprcv in
? ?seeing that "Negroes ;jct - justice
at the hands of courts. This is
what every sane _Negro desires to
see. Wrth such a procedure it has
been found that justice was woefully
miscarried anj the victini
was exonerated after being given
a fair trial. We are willing toi co
operate with the NAACP hi a financial
way to see that every Negro
be impartially dealt with by
the law. For after all when sonic
of "Aunt Hagar's children" get
their justice in law it means the
electric-chair, gas chamber, gallows
or the guillotine block where
their heads will be chopped off.
Say what you will but We have
some bad Negroes among us. And
in. words of the circus clown:
?'?: "they air too sick tn livr and ton
sour to die."

3a. Asso'n. Negro Colle;
Schools Convened in 13t
The 13th annual meeting of the t
Seorgia Association of Negro Col j
eges and Secondary schools con- j
>ened Saturday, January 28th at
10:00 a.m. at Paine college with 8
B. T. Harvey, president, presid- c
ng. 1
The core of the program was a
:ontinuatjon of the study of the j
>Jew Curriculum for Georgia, with
special reference to factual ma- e
ierial and methods of procedure
in the problem area "Health." i
Between 80 and 100 teachers 1
representing from 40 to 50 secon- .
lary schools and colleges took
part in the discussions.
In the morning session, Mr. L. 1
M. Lester of the State Department 1
of Education spoke on the New
State Curriculum for High
School. Much study and work :
have been done in connection with' '
Lht Nev. Curriculum in connection1 '
with the elementary and gram-1 <
mar grades, but the experiment is' j
new with the secondary schools.1 .
Emphasis was pi aped on. the Life- 1
Related Flnfernriup in+Wi frmtlon 11
of Different subject matter- fields. ]
through various project designed J .
to solve some problems growing
out of daily experiences?and
study groups. ' . !
Also on the morning program (
was a discussion of <Jroup Recrea- ,
tion in School and Community byj
Miss Frankie V. Adams, Commun:
ity Work?Industrial Problems, I
Atlanta School of Social Work, ,
M^ss Adams explained the impor-l :
tance of recreation in both rural :
and urban centers, and pointed out '
the fact that jt is very simple to1 j
organize for adequate recreation1^
in the rural sections because of,
the abundance of space and ma-j '
terial. Many communities, she <
said; still object to dancing if you1 ]
call it that, but if you do it and ,
call it l?y some other name, they;
enjoy it. One of the main "points
was that play will solve many, '
problems of crime if it is proper- 1
ly organized and supervised. After
Miss Adams' speech, a gener-j
al forum was conducted on the'
subject.
At one o'clock, Paine college entertained
the representatives at i
luncheon.
The afternoon session met in ,
Haygood Hall auditorium at 3:00.' 1
The first on program was a talk I 1
on Health Service in the State of, <
Georgia by Dr. W. H. Maddux,
Consultant in Child Care, State,
ueparxment or Health. Dr. Mad-'
dux gave many interesting facts [
about health in general and espec-j
ially about Negro health conditions
in Georgia. Tnirty-six per
cent of the total populaton of
Georgia is Negro, yet of the 2,500
doctors in yae state, there are only
154 Negro practicing in only 43
counties. Sixty-three Negro mothers
die for every 10.000 babies
born, and from 58 to 50 babies'
die out of 1000 born. 1
It is tragic, explained the doc-1
tor to deliberately expose child-ren
to the so-called "Children's" j
diseases, for no disease stripes a
human body without leaving a|
scar. * This mark weakens _ the
body's resistance to tuberculosis!
which causes the death of so many |
of cur young people just at the, .
time when thev seem most Drom- '
ising.? ?? ? 1 ;
An appeal was m^de to the tea*,},
chers to help educate the public, '
to the point that they will stop ?
considering hospitals places tO( ]
take flowers and for the undertak j
cr to visit. It should be used j r
early enough to get relief of one's,
complaint. | ,
Parent-Teacher associations and.
hurch clubs were named as organ
zations which can best take young "
nothers under their care and
:each theirr "th? proper "care of in- j ,
rants, children, and themselves.
The doctor pointed out that Nefroes
lead in death rates from all 1
liseases with the exception poss-! {
bly of diphtheria, hookworm, and
liabetes.
Miss Susie Buckner of the Coun
:y Department of Health, Augus- f
a, gave an excellent explanation *
>f Personal and Community Hygiene
as supervised by the Coun,y
Board of Htalth in Augusta.
It was" noted that the city of, e
\ugusta is divided into four dis-l 1
ricts in which seven Negro nurs- *
cs do full-time work. There is! c
10 County-wide Negro nurses, but|^
wo white nurses give some time *
;o Negro patients. *
Parts of the regular program' c
.vere omitted lue to lateness of ''
:he hour, and the group went in- *

A TRIBUTE TO THE
REV. J. C. McCLELLAN, B.D.
By Jas. W. Shaw
During the fighting hours ol
school days,
He worked, but not for praise;
And on the day of graduation,
He reached his finaL-gxp^***'""
While then a lad, his heart was
glad t
And satisfied with what he had;
As years began to come and go
His mind began to reach for more
'** i;
And in his church, he felt a call
To give his life and worth and all;
For Christ who died to save us all
And lift the world above a fall
Manv a venr ?j
? ..v |/?vatiicu ttliu
'ought,
ro save the jouls whom Jesus
bought;
Though many times mis-understood,
k'et failed he not to do some goo$.
s'ot long ago the call was made,
To leave this world and all it bade;
^e answered gladly to the call,
A.nd left his church his wife and
all.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY __'
FIRiST TO RECOGNIZE
NEGRO BUSINESS
h Charleston, S, C.-^Five hundred
. Negro patrons of Esso dealers in
Charleston, heard two North Caror
Una Mutual Life Insurance lead,
erg tell how the Standard Oil Co.
has been the first big business to
recognize Negro business. ,
E. R. MerncX, treasurer or the
I North Carolina Mutual Life In;
surance company and G. W. Cox, <
vice president . of the same company
were the principal speakers
at a banquet arranged by R. A.
Morrison, prominent Esso dealer.
| Financed and sponsored by the
! Standard Oil company, the Ne
gro Esso dealers. iiaiL invited more
'than five hundred Negro patrons
' to hear these business leaders and
J witness a moving picture spectacle
of "A trip through the heart
, of Africa with the Standard Oil
' Company".
\ The picture and speakers were
> oriented in the auditorium of
| Avery institute After the picture
a feast including roasted
oysters in the shell and other
shore delicacies btiH rafrnrhment?
^ were served an festive boards arranged
under lights on the
-ground outside. :r
At the beginning of the pro1
gram. R, A. Morrison, EsSo deal
j er apd chairman of the committ
tee on arrangements opened the
f program stating ' that tfhe first
j banquet sponsored by Jie Stalndard
. I wii company in South Carolina for
J Negro dealers was?given?June,
192|8, and such a favorable response
had occasioned a second
one in Charleston, Thursday nite
an0. anoth'er in Columbia. He pre
sented A. J. Clement, district superintendent
of the Charfestondistrict,
North Carolina Mutual *
' Life Insurance~~6t>mpany who in
turn introduced Mr. E. R. Merrick,
and Mr. tJ. W. Ccrx, home .
office officials of the company.
Mr, Merrick spoke first and told
how difficult it had been for NeI
gro business to be recognized as
I a force by big "white business
concerns. The action' of the Stan
' dard Oil company Jn appointing
I J. A. Jackson, as public relations
I representative among Negroes and
.'giving employment to more than
,'.8000 Negro workers was evidence
1lof their confidence in ^egro.
i Such action warranted the Negro's
| appreciation.
jl Mr. Cox urged Negroes to patro
j nize an buy Standard Oil prodr'
ucts because this big business had
, given recognition to Negro busil
ness and had been responsible in
j part for the benefits received from
. I the General Education Board in
Education. He cited many reasons
why we should show our ap,
preciation and buy Standard Oil
- products. .
The movie that was shown afs
ter the addresses by these speak.1
ers was very educational. A six
.'months trip by automobile thru/.the
deserts, the Congot, and other
) primitive lands in the heart of
1 Africa was most interesting. The
T evening program was concluded
with an elaborate shore dinner for
t more than five hundred guests,
