STRIVE TO PREVENT LABOR EXODUS (Continued From First Page) caused terror; constant dread until inally they could stand it no longer nd departed for other states where this dread could be shaken off. Sacrificed His Property. One speaker at this meeting told of trip he made from Albany to At lanta in a carload of Negroes going north. He said he made this trip for the express purpose of learning the attitude of the men who were leaving. He told several pathetic tales that showed the feeling of fear that im pelled these people to flee from their omes. One farmer who had a farm nd home worth four thousand dol lars sold it for fourteen hundred dol ars. He declared that his wife and little girl compelled him to do it be cause of the constant fear in which they lived that white men were com ing to kill them. The meeting resulted in the plant-; ■; of a firm conviction in the minds the white men present that this section of Georgia is reaping the .'ruits of lawlessness, and that the ■migration cannot be stopped until :he Negroes can be convinced that hey will receive protection at the lands of the best class of white cit izens. While it is true that acts of awlessness have been committed by rresponsible white persons of a low and disorderly class, nevertheless it is m admitted fact that these acts have not been rebuked, nor has any effect ive step been taken to put a stop to them. That this must be done if the Negro laborers so much needed on the farms are to be kept here is the belief of those who have inaugurated this movement to stop the tide of emigration. To this end they will urge that similar meetings be held in <ther cities and towns of southwest ieorgia, and that organized steps be taken to give the Negroes assurance that the law abiding ones among them will be given the protection they are entitled to.
