♦Contingent upon full $10,000 be
ing raised.
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.
