PRESS ON MIGRATION
Atlanta (Ga.) Post.
What means this emigartion of Ne
groes to the North if not a special
punishment on this section of oui
country ? Is this God’s wrath and
punishment on a wicked nation? How
will the ten million Negroes act when
the conflict is really on?
Charleston (S. C.) Reporter.
The South may not realize it now
but the day will come when it will
awaken to a realization of the fact
that might never makes right, and
that by its harsh and inhuman treat
ment of the Negro it has, by forcing
him to go elsewhere, killed the goose
that laid the golden egg.
Atlanta (Ga.) Independent.
There can be no doubt that the
great congestion in the South has
made labor cheap. It is in accord
ance with the great law of supply
and demand. Where labor is abun
dant the price for it will be cheap,
and this has always been so and al
ways will be. The Independent agrees
with Mr. De Berry that the Negro
people should not migrate in a des
ultory manner. He should know
where he is going and for what.
Timmonsville (S. C.) Watchman and
Reporter.
The migration of Colored people to
the North still continues. We cer
tainly regret much to see them leave
here, but if the proper treatment will
not be accorded them here, if they are
tc continue to bear such burdens as
they are made to bear, then we can
not blame them for going. That Ab
beville affair, w'hile but little is be
ing heard about it, yet it has fired
the heart of self respecting Negroes
in the State and if every self-re
specting Negro has not as yet left
Abbeville County, they ought to make
ready and get away at the earliest
possible moment.
The New York Age.
The - drifting of this country into
a state of war, following fast upon
the inauguration of the migration
movement from the South, seems des
tined to play an important part in
the evolution of the Negro in this
country. Migration has opened the
eyes of the dominant race in the
South to the righteous dissatisfaction
existing among the Negroes with
present conditions and the necessity
for some change for the better.

ADVICE TO PERSONS
LEAVING THE SOUTH
Don’t leave on rumors. Be sure you
will find a job when reaching your
destination.
Pay no money to strange labor
agents for jobs and tickets. Deal only
through reliable firms.
Ask every agent if he is willing tc
have you investigate his claims.
Married men should leave first and
send for their families after they
have found suitable quarters for
them.
The cost of living is high in the
North, but not quite as high as in the
South. Clothing is much cheaper.
Find if labor agents will look oul
for men after they arrive. The Moni
tor will help you find room, reason
able board, and be at your service
whenever you need any help that it
can give.
Be careful of crowding into the
larger cities. Many of these are al
ready over-populated. Too much la
bor in one place is always worse than
not enough.

ditions all over the country.
