Of the $10,000 Anti-Lynching Fund which we started out to raise before August 1 as a practical answer to the lynching of Jesse Washington at Waco, Tex., $7,260.93 in cash and pledges payable before August 15, are in hand as we go to press. The re sponse has been splendid. Many strong white friends who never be fore have shown themselves inter ested in the fight of the Negro for his own salvation, have contributed generously to this fund, but the best part of it is that Colored men and women have shown themselves so ready to assume their full share of the load. Yet it is not enough by $3,000. Can you afford to let it fail? MR. PEABODY GRANTS AN EXTENSION OF TIME Believing that the Colored people of America will more than subscribe the $3,000 if the word can only be gotten to them, we asked Mr. Pea body to grant an extension of time on be basis of the response already made. Here is his reply: Boston, Mass., August 5, 1916. My Dear Mr. Nash: On my arrival here from a short absence in Russia I learn, with sur prise and great pleasure, of the gen erous response made to the proposi tion to raise ten thousand dollars. am especially glad that our Col ored brothers see the importance of the matter and are moving actively in it. With great pleasure I consent to extend the time from July 31 to Sep tember 15. You have accomplished a remarkable work and I congratu late you on it. I now believe that you will succeed in raising the en tire amount. Yours very truly, Philip G. Peabody. I Crisis. JOSEPH CARR, Attorney. 220 South 13th Street.
