tact committee on employment for his

“GEORGIA NIGGER”
(By John L. Spivak)
(Brewer, Warren & Putnam. New
York City)
This book ha3 recently been highly
publicised in both the white and the
colored press. Having a natural an
tipathy toward the word, “Nigger” in ’
any form, I felt that the book would
be very indifferently received by me.
especially after reading.
• • •
To my surprise, “Georgia Nigger”,
is the best book I have yet read, writ
ten by a white author, that serves as
an expose of the almost unbelievable
renditions under which a large pro
portion of our race manage to exist,
not only in Georgia, bet the entire v
southland.
• * *
The story itself is written in the
form of a novel but for its accurate
portrayal of true conditions it might
just as well have been written in a
matter of fact form, giving names,
dates and places, because the condi- ‘
Cions, especially concerning the share
croppers, petty law-violators and
chain gangs, are minutely described
and in just such a manner as I have
observed with my own eyes while in
the southland, especially in the rural
districts.
• • •
To add authoriativeness to the
author’s work and to anticipate any
claims of exaggeration, Mr. Spivak.
has profusely illustrated his book with
actual photographic scenes clearly de
scribing the many inhuman methods
of torture and cruelty that are yet in
existence in the southland. Despite its
name. “Georgia Nigger." will react
favorably for humanity, and the race.

SOME WIVES AND OTHERS
by Mr. “X”
Discouraging the Children
(Next Week—“These Husbands of
Ours” by Madame “X”)
(The Literary Service Borea)
A husband charged that his wife
discouraged the children by saying, in
anger, “There’s nothing to you; you
never will make anything; there’s
nothing in you; and no use to try to
make anything out of you; you are
just like your good-for-nothing dad
dy!”
No doubt such talk will have a
psychological effect; it will discour
age and destroy the stimulant needed
to make the big Tight for a higher
place in life. If they believe in her.
i edity. and tf they believe the mother’s
appraisment of their own father, that
fact will discourage them, and it will
make them weak in confidence in
themselves and in their ability to win
in the struggles of life. Better tell
the children they can, and encourage
them to utilize their opportunities for
advancement.
