From Harris County, the Republican State Convention which held forth in Dallas on Tuesday of April 11, while at the convention (white) at this recent G. O.

This special election will be held on the same day and at the same time, with run-off election, and colored voters will be eligible to cast their ballots despite the fact that they cannot qualify as Democratic electors in the run-off primary of Saturday, August 29.

Columbia, S. C.—(ANP)—If a ruling made here recently by J. C. Townsend, master in equity, is not overruled, Ben Bess, the much cuffed-around colored prisoner, will soon be free again. After thirteen years of the sentence had been served, the white woman repudiated her charges and Bess was given his freedom. Sympathy for him was statewide and funds were raised to place him on his feet again. At the same time a move was made to indict the white woman for perjury. When she learned of this, she took back her statement holding Besshlman guilty. She was told that she could not say that he was without guilt. So Bess was placed back in jail while an effort has been made to prove him innocent.

Any Blood All Right Except Negro Race Montgomery, Ala.—(ANP)—Mag-Milstead, alias Maggie Weaver, found guilty last May of violating the Alabama law that prohibits the marriage of a white person and a person having Negro blood, and sentenced to imprisonment for from two to ten years, was paroled by Governor Bibb Graves last Tuesday. Since her conviction, serious doubt regarding the charges arose. Her husband claimed that he was not a Negro, but some sort of Cajan, with white and Indian blood. The husband has been greatly distressed by the charges. He declares that all his life he attended white schools and churches, and never until he was sent to prison did he associate with Negroes. Judge W. W. Brandon, former governor of the state, has been among those urging pardon for both the woman and the man, stating that these Cajans are a very proud people who ardently defend the purity of their white and Indian blood.

McDONALD FLAILS REPUBLICANS FOR ATTITUDE TOWARDS NEGRO; WILL SUPPORT ALFRED E. SMITH New York City—(ANP)—Encouraged by what they feel is a definite drift upon the part of Negroes to the standard of Al Smith, plans are being laid by the Democratic national committee for a determined effort to capture Negro cities. Already a colored section of the campaign committee is being formed. The organization is titled the "Smith-for-President Colored Headquarters" and is located at 132 W. 46th St., this city. Julian Rainey, a prominent young attorney of Boston, has been named as active director, although it is said that some titular position will be created for Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton, long considered as the Tammany chief nationally famous member of New York Daily World staff, is Editor Houston Informer: There is much being published in the press, North and South, with respect to the decision of Federal Judge Hutcheson of Houston upholding the barring of Negro Democrats from voting in Democratic primaries and claiming that a setback is given to "Bill M. Johnson." This is laughable! I have not based or predicated my purpose to vote for Governor Al Smith upon a thought of Negroes being permitted to vote in a Democratic primary or a nominating convention. If the Democratic state executive committee can bar Negro Democrats from voting in a nominating primary, the "Bill M. Johnson" is not a "Bill M. Johnson" to vote in a nominating convention, just what it has done in Texas for the past eight years. The Republican party owes the Negro a political debt it can never pay. The Democratic party, as a political organization, owes the Negroes of the Southern states nothing; and as a matter of fact, very little if anything. The Republican party, Eastern and Western states. For sixty-five (65) years, right or wrong, the Negroes of the South have voted solidly for the Republican party and against the Democratic party—this is true in nearly all of the states. I am firm in the envision that if the Negro electors had served the Democratic party, the Republican party, during all those years, the Democratic party would not have deserted them and left them without a party, or the right to act in party councils, based upon the will of a majority of Republican electors. Negroes have never demanded of the Republican party political preference.

Shades of Lincoln: Think of B. C. Breager, C. B. Cusom Slemp and a young old Republic ship of state, grand orders, even and devils laugh! But the blackest and most reprehensible one of the Republican party life in the United States is the one that has arrayed the Negroes of America and particularly of the Southern state against the Democratic party, the Democratic party, the Democratic party, thought by the lily-white kingpin and federal office holders that the black and white Negroes might request and consent for a few minor federal jobs that are regarded as white men's jobs.

C.—(ANP)—The Colored Division of the Republican national committee got away with a long this week, opening what seasoned observers predict will be one of the most interesting political efforts in the past. The start was made with the announcement of personnel by Chairman of the committee, after a series of delays in organization, which, while they have retarded somewhat the initial efforts of the Curtis, have released a lot of pent up energy that bids fair to put the B. Hawkins in high gear. Headquarters have been opened in the Barr Building where the Republican national committee is housed and the committee's offices are rapidly being assembled under the direction of Chairman Hawkins and Secretary Alon Holsey. There appears to be plenty of financial resources for the workers will doublebless be attached. Plans Business Campaign Plans have been announced for the prosecution of a business-like campaign in which the methods of the "go gettem" high-powered salesman and the card index system of the business executive will be more in evidence than those of the pompous old time politician who specialized in leasing gas and cabbage cigars. Exercised onlookers predict an annual campaign which is to develop its strategy. New names politically are among them, but what they lack in political experience they are said to make up in mental kick. Robert R. Church of Memphis, long known as one of the outstanding political forces of the country, is far more the business type than the politician, or at least the average person. The nation of politician. His high standards and financial independence have won him the regard of America's biggest political leaders. Dr. Ennett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, though he is credited with the authorship of sections of presidential speeches, and four years ago served on an exclusive advisory committee, is the sort of figure one associates with statesmanship, rather than its in-lawly-political, a. At the shrewd, keen-minded, his friend says that a long-awaited opportunity of which he will take full advantage lies before him. Women Leaders Active The women members, Mrs A. W. Houston and Myrtle Foster Cook, are likewise outstanding, the former known for her work as a field organizer of the N. A. A. C. P., and as president of the New York Federation of Women's Clubs, while the latter has been an editor of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs organ, and admittedly has had considerable previous experience in the feminine end of politics.

JACKSON, M.D. (For The Associated Negro Press) “Romance is the poetry of literature,” says Madame Necker. Many people believe that romance is to journey far and wide in search of romance. The thinker, especially the physician, knows that it is unnecessary to journey far and wide in search of romance. The deadly monotony of the factory is a fiction—its romance is real. The factory is written by writers, social service and otherwise, a well-known European artist, and painters in scenes in and about American chemical plant. His trained touch and delicate brush revealed the mind of the industrialist, strictly utilitarian buildings and equipment. Great industrial works are monolithic the mind is made to direct them and direct their operation. To them romance and artistry lurk in every corner. So perfectly have all the places that—each machine, with its electric motor an integral part, seems to place—each machine, with its possessive innate life.

So often we have heard the plaintive statement that this or that for a big city, but it's not necessary or of any use in a small place like a home; have excuses for not adopting correct accounting methods, for not installing a computer system, for not engaging in advising our folks in the matter of business practice. Our team has so persistently been given an excuse for continuing mud-esteem that it will power to doubt it. However, that's all over now. An unexpected visit to Clayton miles from Memphis, Tennessee has provided an object lesson that will last the writing through life, and should serve as an encouragement to all who are Whatever the design may be, however, a silver tea service of good appearance is an absolute requirement to the household which goes in for tea. It should include a hot water kettle as well as the usual teapot, sugar bowl, cream pitcher and waste bowl on a silver tray, and silver sandwich plates and compotiers for small cakes, candy and sliced lesson are also necessary to a complete equipment. The tea things may be wheeled into the drawing room or out on the verands on a tea cart, but they should be transferred to a table before tea is served. The table must be not too large for an attractive tea cloth, preferably white, with fine lace, and is best decorated with a single spray of flowers in a tall silver vase. Having arranged the table before the hostess, the butler or the said carries in the tea service and places it so that she can pour the tea. Next are brought a small silver tray of napkins, the plates of sandwiches and the compotiers of sweets, which frequently require the additional space of a tea rack. One of the guests usually smokes the hostess in passing the refreshment to the other. That right here in these Arkansas bottoms was one of the finest man-made facilities in the country. It had a score for a score years specialized in seeking out evidences of business If English muffins or hot toast or biscuits are served with special dishes, with covers should be used. As many muffin tea rooms now specialize in these, they can always be obtained at a few moment's notice upon the request, whereas the making of sandwiches requires time. If strawberries and blueberries are added, holders for the fruit cups will greatly add to the dignity of the occasion. A jam pot on the top is also a desirable feature. All of this is supervised by a young foreman who is the holder of a bachelor of science degree from Taukegue, with several practical dirt farm- Homely Philosophy We will all agree that the very best thing to do is life. After this, we will go on and after this the blessings showed upon us by diety, each one of which is good. And yet we tolloilcendly and ever, from the cradle to the grave for the wherewithal with which to purchase the chaff and the timel. We find our selfs, like big children, overload of the chaff and the timel. How rarely do we pause to be still and calm that we may adequately and calm that the best things in life are free. School nurse says all girls should know this 10 TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking major, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when major should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It's a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas points or giving." Neujoll is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are finding because it is so pure and�ual, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every drugist has this remarkable substance.

At the Helehu, Ark., session of the Arkansas State Negro Business League, we met John C. Claybrooks, a well-built, stocky, clean-faced, dark man of mild manner and of unicbrusive movement. John L. Webb, president of the organization, called upon him to talk and Claybrooks was so modest in his remarks as to prompt the president to ask questions designed to elicit some information concerning the persons' business. A few years later, the statistician of the country's young correspondent did a little inquiring on his own hook, which resulted in an invitation to visit "my place," as Claybrooks phrased the invitation. Well, we went. Here is a running account of what we saw with our own eyes. I may be divulging confidences, but, if so, forgiveness is prayed for on the grounds that exposure of the facts disclosed will serve a great purpose. At Hughes, Ark., where we left the train, we were met by Mrs. John Claybrooks in the afternoon, and then came the three men, not all at the next station. Claybrooks Spur. After a delightful ride of five miles, the final two being through the property of my host, we arrived at such a plantation as we have often read of in books with Southern setting. Sixteen pleasant hours were spent at the Spur, part of it in being recipient of some hospitable manifestations of the first-class, and more devoted to gratifying that insatiable curiosity that a city dweller has for the country things that have become but memories of his youthful days. In the end and adhered to its practice of careful observation, and the observation, we were Mr. Claybrooks began a business in 1914. Just which phase was started first was not ascertained, but today he is mastered of 1780 acres by virtue of an unmet-competition project. In the 1780s the wood lumber. Either of these features of his business would command respect in any business circle; and combined, they indicate an average gross revenue. Twenty-six families occupy the houses scattered over the Claybrooks place; each of whom is a share crop or salaried worker. In addition, he is 10.7 million. He is the first of the 1780s and the 1790s. There is the "four quarters". The stables house 67 miles and three four-horse teams of horses that are worked at hauling logs. These, however, are being replaced by motor equipment and four units later in the 1780s. In the 1790s the lawn under the lumber. In addition, the storage garage contains two service trucks and three automobiles and about a complete a private mechanical repair-sheep, and a small-size trainmill, like plows, harrows, reapers, discs. All of this is supervised by a young foreman who is the holder of a barbarist or the office degree from Tuskegee, with several practical dirt farms and asistants. So much for the raw products, cotton by the hundred bales, hay and peas by the ton, lumber in long rows of stacks, bridge building, and company buildings. Let the old men go to the heart of the business throbs gently but strongly. That store is 4828 feet in size. Three clerks serve the people with standard drugs, groceries, hardware, clothing, and other goods. The store is a large store, a large store, a large store is equipped with Frigidaire counter for perishable goods, globe sales allps and machine, computing scales, Anchor binder to seal packages, verting-gaming systems, rabbing and place. Electricity functions all over the premises, which supplies the whole place. In the office Jensle B. Cole and Mr. Wm. F. Harring products of the Hines. The other three of the College of Memphis, handle the cash and record the business transactions. They are helped with every modern aid to business and daily statements go onto Mr. Claybrooks' desk at the close of each day. In the course of the day he is a firm manager of the company's "cropper," the office conducts the sale of Missouri Pacific Railroad tickets. Over the store in the family apartment, and it's a home of the finest type with as modern store store store store over a mansion that compares to Memphis Mrs. Claybrook's children, even though it's more important. They have a lot of others in similar circumstances. What's more important, they have grown rich without having lost the fine democratic spirit. Mr. Claybrook does not mind tellers of the need of the good. He has a good time. He has a good time, and the good life of a family shows for his year-old kiddie, and she gets the shoes before she goes about her errands. He has to watch the kindly way Claybrook listened to the father of an adolescent girl who had "loved not wisely but too well" and promised him to arrange a marriage; and to see him O. K. a credit slip for yet another one of his help who needed both medicine and a bit of advice, as he was a family member, and the kind of kind of knowledge shown when one of the boys wanted credit for a watermelon. It seemed funny to hear him say "nothing doing" after having seen him place nearly a thousand dollars worth of merchandise out on credit that same evening. He had a good time with the family who had a good time with what a Negro needs and what he wants. "When I chopped wood, I bought the best axe I could find," said Mr. Claybrook, "and when I went into banks and other high-class places to buy them, I was so much more than I had had in my home and having time. I did not always understand for doing part of these work and having time, so as fast as those things came to my notice, and I had need for them. I just got them. It has paid me to have the best business help, and I have a great business and business too to be systematically handled." And that speech explains the why of this story.

Then he went to wake the horses, and then he had accured three men proclaiming about the stable. For a time it was feared incendias were plotting to kill the horses in the East.

EDWARDS, NEGRO RUNNER, AGAIN DEEEETS HAIN Dublin, Ireland. —(ANP)—American enthusiasts were bitterly disappointed here in the Taitime games, the Haiti Olympic, when Fili Edwards, the Canadian Negro runner, led Lloyd Hahn, American star, to the Haiti Olympics, where he won six yards. Edwards has beaten Hahn six times since in this race he was in Europe, and Hahn fought it on even terms in this race until they rounded the final turn, when Edwards uncooled the Olympic qualifier and the final and left the "Boston Express" looking more like a side-tracked freight.

In four states alone, electricity was extended to 21,217 additional farms during 1927. AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER FIVE years ago the possibility of extending electrical service to any considerable number of farms was problematical. Yet within three years the number of electrified farms in 27 states has nearly doubled. Two hundred ways in which electricity can make farming pay greater dividends in living comfort and dollar-producing efficiency have been developed. Ruled by the hard-won facts of engineering science, not by theories or dreams, the electric light and power industry is today making one of the few real contributions to the solution of the farmer's problem. A national rural electric project near Washington is now undertaking the study of new electric labor-saving devices and the electrical treatment of the soil and of crops to increase the productivity of farms. Facts are the foundation on which the electric light and power companies of America have built the structure of a public service unequalled in all the rest of the world.

It was begun by William Howard Taft when he was president, extended under Woodrow Wilson, extended still further under Mr. Harding, and reached its climax under President Coolidge, until there is more than one question in Washington today than there ever has been since the Civil War. "With every branch of the government in their hands, there is not a restaurant or theatre, or hotel in the capital that will admit a Negro. Even worse, the government itself has become chief law breaker, for, made from the humiliation it imposes upon the underpaid Negro clerk, and the inferior work upon which he is kept, the government restaurants in a complete system of segregation, even, in some places, exclusion.

Among other things in his message to those women, he mentioned the public's interest in the Democratic can hope to win without the support of the support of women in the Democratic right step forward in recent legislation. "A provisional list of women workers in both the Eastern and Western states will be submitted to the assembled convention to submit names of prospective workers for consideration." The convention voted a hearty endorsement of Dr. Hawkins and pledged its support of the Republican Visitors From National Headquarters Honorable Franklin Fort of New Jersey, secretary of the Republican national committee, speaking as a representative from national headquarters, said that in his mind "Hoover is the greatest man of any time before reaching the presidency." Mr. Fort also asserted that in the performance of public service, Mr. Hoover always recognized the rights of people as a people. Elon is�ented the record of the Republican presidential nominee in managing the problems of the food administration during war times and the Mississippi flood relief in 1927, both services being rendered without hope of reward. The convention was also reminded of a statement made by Thomas A. Edison that as secretary of commerce, Mr. Hoover had saved the American people more than one hundred miles in dollars without one being aware of it. In speaking of the vice-presidential nominee, Mr. Fort said that because of his 35-year record as senator and as congressman, Senator Curtis has had the finest training to prepare him to step into the White House in the event that such a step should become necessary. The speaker was continually interrupted by applause, especially from the Western state. While introducing to the assembled women, Alice Graham Robinson GOTHAM NEGRO VOTERS SHY AT CONGRESS BID New York City.—(ANP)—While the Democratic element in this city is mending its political fences and strengthening its forces, the Republicans of the 21st Assembly and Congressional districts are mixed up in the sorriest muddle which has existed for sometime. Aroused over the intent of Chicago and other cities to send a colored man to congress, the Republicans of Harlem have been preaching the same doctrine to their leaders for the past five or six months. Under the aggressive leadership of George W. Harris, recently appointed chairman of the speakers bureau of the East for the Hoover campaign and editor of the New York News, a definite movement took shape when the Republicans of Harlem gathered in a convention all their own to declare their intentions. Resolutions were adopted, demanding a colored congressman, a colored assemblyman, a colored senator and general, a representative throughout the district. When this matter was brought up in the meeting of the House under the white Robert S. Conklin, tacitly acceded to the wish of the colored section of the district. He admitted that their demands were reasonable and immediately took steps to grant the wish of the people, being careful to seek to defeat the purpose of Harris and his supporters. Harris' name has been mentioned very often in connection with the congressional nomination and election had had been endorsed by several clubs and organizations as the best man possible for the office. But Conklin would have none of this. He professes friendship for Harris, when he doesn't mean it, according to his actions. Immediately after hearing the petition of the colored leaders, Conklin the group into conferred with the district. Captains and when the conference ended, the name of Alderman John Clifford Hawkins was submitted to the members of the club as the colored Republican candidate for congressman. This was agreeable to the membership, although Hawkins has only been in office as alderman seven months. Some as Hawkins' name had been affirmed, he wrote to the leader, defining the honor. As soon as Hawkins's declaration immediately ensured the destination the Rev. Hayes of the Mount Olivet Episcopal Church in Yakima, WA, declared the need he could have against justice to both the church and polluting bodies, he joined the honour James Weldon, Johnson. for a program of organization, republican Negro women in the H.

This much was assured when Police Commissioner Warren, apprised of Wright's high mark in the test, was questioned as to his attitude on "Why not appoint him?" the commissioner inquired emphatically. "If Dr. Wright's record shows nothing wrong, why not appoint a police surgeon. In a matter of this kind, I don't allow race, religion, or other factors in his duty is to look after the physical needs of many excellent colored policemen, and they are still coming in." The salary of a police surgeon is $49.1 per hour, and the pay of policemen under his charge. Dr. Wright made $89.1 out of a possible one hundred in his examination.

Detroit, Mich.—(ANP)—Speaking to the huge audience gathered at the mazing meeting of the Wolwerine Lodge No. 72, of the I. P. B, O. K, of W., have recently, Governor Fred Green paid tribute to the progress which Negroes have made in America and urged them to support Negro men and women for legislative purposes. The group greatly helped by having representatives of the colored group in the house and senate." WHY IS IT? The text of the Governor's address was as follows: "A man wakes up in the morning, after sleeping under an advertised blanket on an advertised mattress, and pulls off advertised pajamas; takes a bath in an advertised tub; shaves with an advertised razor; washes with advertised soap; powders his face with advertised powder; dons advertised underwear, hose, shirt, collar, shoes, suit, handkerchief; sits down to a breakfast of advertised cereal; drinks a cup of advertised coffee; puts on an advertised hat; lights an advertised cigar; rides to his office in an advertised auto on advertised tires; deposits money in advertised institutions; then he refuses to advertise on the grounds that advertising does not pay." "I hope what I have to say here this evening will be accepted not in words but in words of encouragement. It comes from one who is interested in you as a group. You need encouragement before you can stand up and handle handsicaps. There is not a group in our country who has had to overcome the obstacles you as a race winner had to overcome in sixty years. No man or woman in your group needs to appologize for the achievements which your race won in the last fifty or sixty years. “I know of no group anywhere, that has made the marvelous progress in the reduction of illiteracy. In 1890 when the first census was taken, nearly sixty ppt cost of your group could not read or write. During the period between 1890 and 1928 you have reduced that number from sixty to sixteen per cent, and in the face of the fact that the great majority of your people have as much ability and imagination as any race, and all you need to do is develop the will to make further achievements so that you will achieve in reality the political as well as the economical equalities to which you are justly entitled as citizens of this republic. This meeting tonight seems to me the best evidence of the value of organization for your group. Individually you can do nothing, but collectively you can do a great deal. This is an age of organization, and what has been achieved by other races has been through the medium of organization, therefore, yours must come through the same medium and the same method. "If you have a common purpose, you will listen to your wants and requests with respect. Men who occupy political offices will listen to your wants and requests, and will know that your ballot will be counted for or against them on the election day. A long, early night that you have seen the wisdom of selecting men of your group for public offices will go to the office of working for them so that after the election is over they may take their jobs in Lansing. Michigan will be greatly helped by having representatives the colored group in the house and senate." THE PRINTING MACHINE "Your group has certain problems which are peculiar to your group, such as the lack of motivation and aspirations of your group, and no man or woman is able to voice them better than a man or woman. You know the problems from the inside. “I want to say to you that I am happy to be here. I want to say something to you which will give you a better impression of how it looks looking from the outside in. It helps to give more encouragement and probably a broader perspective and a greater encouragement on the inside to those who are struggling to get out. You need not apologize or be ashamed of the achievements you have made. You have made wonderful progress against handicaps. Ability and intelligence are not matters of color, nationality or religion. All people have a common origin. It comes to one and all. Political independence is a matter of circumstance. No one knows what the history of your group might have been had it not been altered by experiences and forces over which you have had no control, and I am confident that as we go on, and as your men and women take their places in the fields of science, business and education, it will not be long before you have economic independence in reality as you now have it in spirit. I hope to see a time when the 14th and 15th amendments will be just as effective as all other laws.” "I have watched and have taken an interest in your group because in it you have learned to know that greater progress can be achieved, and from now on the load is going to be easier than the pinners have realized. I hope you take this opportunity to learn as a matter of flattery, but as sincerity and encouragement, which come from one who is interested in your group, you have greater and greater progress."

COAST DEMOCRAT PREDICTS HEAVY VOTE FOR SMITH COAST DEMOCRAT PREDICTS HEAVY VOTE FOR SMITH Los Angeles, Cal.—(ANP)—With the November election rapidly nearing, much conjecture is being made as to what will be the strength of the Negro vote in California on the Democratic side. Titus Alexander, a former 76th District, an important official of the city libt and power office, and one of Los Aneles' most representative citizens, was approached as the most logical man to be able to give an opinion on the matter. Himself an ardent Democrat and Smith man, he said he would the Negro make himself felt in California, but that the Negro vote would elect Smith president. Concerning the Negro's present change of heart, he said: "The Negro may have owed a debt of gratitude to the Republican party, and I would paid that debt with interest in sixty-odd years of faithful allegiance." Federal England, that grand old man, declares, "The Negro will vote the Republican ticket until some great material constitutional crisis arises which will affect his constitutional rights. That time is here—the nominee for president, Governor Aldr E. Smith, is not tainted with the brand of the K. K. K, which is seared into the Republican party. "I predict that the Negro vote will elect Governor Smith president of the United States. The reign of lawlessness is seared into the stake, and mob law will cease; laws will be enforced. Sheets and man will be a drug on the market." THE HOUSTON INFORMER. SATURDAY.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP- YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP: — 1. Paul and Silas in Jail (vv. 16-26) 1. The occasion (vv. 16-24). As the missionaries went out from day to day to the place of prayer they were accosted by a young woman possessed by a spirit of divination. She was owned by a syndicate of men who derived large gains from her booth-ing. Her utterances as she followed the missionaries became a great annoyance to Paul, who in the name of Jesus Christ commanded the evil spirit to come out of her. The spirit in this maid testified that these were servants of the Most High God and that they proclaimed the way of salvation. But Paul, like Jesus (Mark 5:7), would not have Satan's testimony. The evil spirit immediately obeyed Paul's command. When the demon was cast out, the supernatural power of the maid was gone, therefore the source of revenge was dried up. This so exasperated her owners that they brought Paul and Silas before the magistrates on the false charge of the changing of customs. It was not custom but their unlawful gain which was interfered with. There is always trouble when the unlawful business in which men are, engaged in threatened. 2. Their behavior in jail (v. 25). Paul and Silas prayed and sang in the jail, and they should pray under such circumstances, but to sing hymns as to tolling to all who have not come before God through Christ. Even with backs tethered and smarting, and fast feet in the stocks compelling the most pain in their lives, they did not of the inner prison with extreme certainty before them, their hearts went up to God in gratitude. 3. Their deliverance (v. 20). 4. Their deliverance by sending a great earthquake, which opened the prison doors and loomed their bands. 5. Conversion of the Jailer (v. 73, 74). The jailer had small sympathy for the prisoners, for as soon as they were made secure, he went to sleep. Being an earthquake he was about to kill himself, whereupon Paul assured him that the prisoners were all safe. Who knew the earthquake he now experienced caused him to come as a dumble inquirer after salvation. He was convicted of sin and was clearly pleased to clearly polished the way to be saved, saying, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." The word "believe" means to trust and fully obey. The proof that the jailer was saved is threefold: 1. Transformation from brutality to charity (v. 38). 2. He who lied while ago could with impunity on the cruel lashers is now disposed to wash their wounds. 3. Confession of Christ in baptism (v. 2). Those who have really been convicted of sin and have experienced the saving grace of God delight to confess their faith in Him under all circumstances. 3. He set mean to见 them (v. 34). 4. His whole household baptized (v. 33). 5. A man's family is willing to follow him, you may be sure that his conversion is genuine. III. The Magistrates Humbled (v. 34, 30). They were to release the prisoners (vv. 35, 30). The earthquake brought four upon the magistrates and moved them to give leave for the prisoners to go home (vv. 35, 30). The ground of his refusal was that their rights as Roman citizens had been violated. They demanded public action. Brought out of prison by the officers (vv. 38, 39). Because they were Roman citizens they were released, the magistrates were sent home (vv. 38, 39). Returned to the house of Lydia (vv. 40). Upon their public citation they left prison and entered the house of Lydia, and after ministering confect to the brethren, they departed. **God Will Aid** It is my habitual practice about little things to bring them before God.

SANTIL MIDY BACKACHES from KIDNEY or BLADDER CATARRH in the Aged Soon eased by the goutine Santil Midy Effusive-Marmite NEGRO BAPTISTS SHOW INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP NEGRO BAPTISTS SHOW INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP Philadelphia, Pa.—(A N P)—The sequestrant-centennial of the institution of distinctive Negro Baptist churches in the United States, can be celebrated now since it appears prior to 1778 the first organization of the kind was at Silver Bluff, in the State of Arkansas, near Augusta, Ga. To years later the First African Baptist Church was organized at Savannah, Ga. In 1805, the Joy St. Baptist Church, the first in New England, was organized in Boston; and in the succeeding year came the Abyssinian Church in New York City, and the First African Baptist Church in Philadelphia. About 1840 the First African Baptist Church in Washington became a distinctive race organization. The success of these societies, as distinctive Negro Baptist churches whose members, officers and pastors wore of the race, gave inspiration and confidence to many others and has been multiplied in all sections of the country. The lack of a general ecclesiastical organization makes it extremely difficult to gather with accurate accuracy the statistics of Baptist churches. It is time that their quarterly, annual or otherwise, are state and sectional lines, but their gatherings or conventions, whether quarterly, annual or otherwise, are not authoritative or compulsory. The migration of the Negro from the South, northward, which was revered for 1920, is still more striking for its increase in membership, and the increase in this denomination's churches and membership in the states, from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Virginia, to Florida on the west, and a comparison of this growth with the losses in Kentucky, Arkansas and other Southern states. In 1916, the three New England states reported five churches with 100,000 members. 1926, the number had grown to 59 churches with 12,535 members, a growth of 54 churches and 11,000 members. In 1916, Mississippi and Arkansas reported 3,999 churches, with 461,893 members; and in 1926, 3,689 churches, and 501,244 members in the decade.

C. Hueston, chairman of the executive committee of the league and presiding officer of the Negro baseball League, is a consideration of the loyalty of those Negroes who have assumed to act for the race at political conventions and have seemingly acquiesced in decisions adverse to the rights of the Negroes. Another object is to work for the full enfranchisement of the American people, and to stand for the standing of the Negro in the Republican party. Said Jungue nuxon: "We indefeated to scourge those personages betraying the Negro in the United States." It appears that for a number of years the Republican party has not been an avid supporter of the Negro's rights before the laws as at the birth of the party. It is in the hands of the Negro that the thing possible to ascertain where the Republican party stands on the full enfranchisement of the Negro in the removal of all humiliating laws against the Negro race and the full education of the Negro everywhere."

ANY MAN WHO IS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR his COUNTRY, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE GIVEN A SQUARE HEAT, IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE MORE AND MORE IN A MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS—BOREVEYEL HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1928 ALFRED SMITH AND "SOCIAL EQUALITY" It is both amusing and disgusting to observe the antics and mouthings of Southern Democratic leaders and organs, that are supporting the candidacy of Governor Alfred E. Smith for president of the United States, injecting the eternal and perennial "race issue" into the presidential campaign and their base appeals to racial prejudice, class distinction and group antipathy to keep intact their partisan forces in Dixieland. Unmindful of Governor Smith's well-known attitude on the vexing and perplexing "race question;" and, apparently, not cognizant of the fact that such appeals to racial hatred will injure the cause of their presidential candidate in the important border and pivotal states of the country, the Dixie Democrats are once more giving a concrete demonstration of their partisan solidity and political stupidity. Because Governor Smith has always been friendly to the colored race, and has always been rather liberal in his views concerning the rights of colored Americans (having repeatedly sought and enjoyed their votes in his campaigns for office in the Empire State), it is to be deplored that Southern leaders of the donkey party must live up to the emoji or their partisan organization and raise a smoke-screen behind which to becloud the real issue. These Democratic leaders and publications are broadcasting to the world the fact that the election of Herbert Hoover, Republican presidential nominee, will mean the abolition of jim-crow cars and segregation; the establishment of "social equality"; the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth constitutional amendments; the virtual overthrow of "white supremacy," and the adoption and execution of both a sectional and national policy which will be minimal and detrimental to the best interests of the "white South." By inference, at least, these party spokesmen and organs would lead the public to conclude that the election of Governor Smith will bring about just the opposite situation; and that his elevation to the highest elective post within the gift of the American electorate will put the South in the national saddle, and that the Negro will be kept "in his place" in true Dixie fashion and bourbon style! If Governor Smith's public record and utterances are indicative of the man, then he is as much committed to a fair and square deal for Negroes as is Mr. Hoover—if not more so. In fact, Mr. Hoover has never before held elective or public office where he had to solicit votes and do political bargaining, such as Governor Smith has done in his assembly and gubernatorial races in New York; and it is an admitted fact that colored voters played an important part in Governor Smith's successful campaigns for the highest elective office in the Empire State for four consecutive terms. During one of his campaigns for public office in New York, it is stated that Governor Smith advocated such pro-Negro doctrines that the late Theodore Roosevelt offered the present Democratic nominee a wager that he (Smith) would not invade the South and make such speeches in praise of the Negro and in addition to exercise and enjoy all constitutional prerogatives and warranties. These Dixie Democrats and their subsidized sheets continue to dwell upon the order of Secretary of Commerce Hoover, which abolished racial segregation in his department at Washington, D. C.; adding that if Mr. Hoover should be elected president of the republic, white women and girls will be compelled to work beside Negro men in the various governmental departments at the national government. We wonder if these Southern Democratic leaders and editors know how many Negro Democrats are holding fat jobs in New York City and state by the grace and gesture of Tamaryn Hall, Smith's political progenitor? Do these Dixie Democrats know whether these Negro officers are segregated in the various municipal and state departments, or whether they work beside "white women and girls?" Has Governor Smith ever voiced his objection to Negro holding such public offices in New York, and has he ever recommended any legislative measure to separate the two races in such public offices? Has the Southern presidential candidate, as chief executive of New York, ever advocated jim-crow accommodations for Negroes, and has he preached or embraced the Southern doctrine of the Negro "staying in his place?" Does the record disclose where Governor Smith has ever contended for separate schools for the colored and white races in his native state, or that he has ever raised his official voice against intermarriage of the two races, "social equality" or misrepresentation? Has the Empire State governor ever been a party to any movement which seeks to nullify, ignore and override the thirteenth, America's Greatest Weekly Reception fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the national constitution, such as his Dixie supporters and adherents have done ever since the passage of these federal provisions? Does Nominee Alfred E. Smith believe in mob-violence, disfranchisement, segregation, discrimination, peonage, jim-crowism and other types of Southern "kultur," such as advocated and practiced by numerous of his supposed Dixie backers, who are now frantically raising the "race question" in order to keep the "solid South" gagged and hog-tied to the Democratic party? Has Governor Smith ever attended any of the "black and tan" cabarets in Harlem, or has he ever urged that they be closed and padlocked? Does the New York governor believe in a double standard of citizenship, a la Dixie—one for white citizens and another for college people? While these Southern Democrats and their partisan publications are trying to prejudice the voters of this section against Mr. Hoover and the Republican party, what do they know about Nominee Smith's record along these lines; and what have these Dixie Democrats and Governor Smith in common. This editorial is being written prior to Governor Smith's acceptance speech, and up to said time the South and he are as far apart as the north and south poles on almost all issues and questions. By KELLY According to this dictionary, a lily-Republican who is a New York Republican who has the days of records days to significant life on the back. He will more recently write a control party for all the same apart attitudes—of the exclusive white. Reforms can gain, while the more tolerant of both regions ends. In the begin which he was an epitotative of the so strive of the "Granк in these later dates" for the "Grank in these later dates" are less or less typical publican mind. The Informer is of the opinion that the Dixie Democrats and newspapers that are trying to inject the "race question" into this presidential campaign, are playing with fire and are engaging in a political game which bids fair to seal the doom of their party, from a national standpoint; for, whether these smart and astute Dixie Democrats and editors are wise to the fact or not, the Negro constitutes the balance of power in several states which Nominee Smith must carry. The is to be victorious in his presidential campaign. Comparing the public records of Governor Smith and Mr. Hoover, particularly as they relate to their attitude on the "race question," it hardly seems fair and reasonable for the Democratic pot to call the Republican kettle ebony-hued! Selah! ORGANIZING NEGRO VOTERS IN TEXAS Living up to its well-established reputation as being one of the most efficient and best functioning organizations extant, the Republican national committee, through its titular heads, has perfected a nationwide movement among the Negro group, giving representation to practically every section of the country. Differing from the procedure of former years, the chairman of the colored division is not a resident of the South, which seems to indicate that the G. O. P. leaders are planning to make a concerted drive for Negro votes in the debatable and pivotal states of the republic; these partisan leaders, apparently, having been converted to the idea that Northern Negroes do not take so kindly to the idea of making possible Republican victories, while the direction of such national campaigns is vested in party leaders from other sections of the country. Since it is apparent that the national organization plans to concentrate its efforts in doubtful and debatable states, despite the assurances from some of the Southern Republican leaders that their states will swing into the Hoover column in November, it behooves the Republican leaders of the Southern states to organize their forces to poll a large vote for Nominee Herbert Hoover. Texas is going to be a real battle-ground in the 1928 presidential race, and it is up to the Republican party leaders in this state to get busy at once and so line up their forces as to contest every inch of ground with the Democratic national ticket. To this end, the colored voters of Texas should be organized and their full voting strength made available for Mr. Hoover, particularly if the party leaders in this state are sincere in their professed desire to see a record-breaking vote registered for the Hoover-Curtis presidential electors on November 6, 1928. It is estimated that there are fully 125,000 to 150,000 qualified colored voters in Texas, but these voters, in the main, have lost interest in partisan affairs because no efforts have been made in recent years to keep them interested in the party in this state. It is common knowledge that the Democratic national leaders plan a nationwide drive for colored voters, and national headquarters has already been opened in New York City; and it is confidently expected that a campaign will be waged among the colored electors of the Lone Star State for the Smith-Robinson ticket to offset the anti-Smith Democrats who will support and vote for Mr. Hoover. Whether the Republican leaders of Texas organize the Negro citizens or not, these colored voters should not become apathetic and lethargic and thus permit to go by default an excellent opportunity to organize their own forces and make their voting power felt in the general election. A statewide Hoover-for-president organization should be launched among Texas Negroes, and an intensive campaign conducted there will be able to poll the full voting strength of the race for the Republican presidential standard-bearer. It is impossible to get votes for any candidate or cause without organization, and, since the national Republican leaders have recognized the importance of permitting Negroes to conduct their own campaign for the national ticket, the Republican leaders of Texas, if they want the 100,000 odd Negro votes, should not fall under their control. Already consternation has entered the ranks of the Smith Democrats in this state, and they are busy organizing their forces and raising campaign funds with which to prosecute a vigorous drive, in this erstwhile rock-ribbed Democratic state, for the Smith-Robinson presidential electors. This act on the part of Texas Smith-Democrats, in itself, is an admission that they fear the defection from their ranks of the Democratic party. The party leaders in this state towards alleged "bolters," all indicate that Texas is a fertile political field in the forthcoming presidential sweepstakes; and the Republican leaders have the finest chance in the history of the state to either carry it for Hoover, or frighten the Democrats almost to death by giving them a "close shave" in the presidential race. In a close race, 100,000 or more votes will be the determining factor in the history of the state to either carry it for Hoover, or frighten the Democrats almost to death by giving them a "close shave" in the presidential race. If the Republican leaders of Texas do not lend their assistance and encouragement to the proper organization of the colored voters of this state, and then the Smith forces take advantage of the dumbness and sinuity of the Texas Republican leaders, the former can blame only themselves if the colored electors, in large numbers, cast their ballots for Governor Alfred E. Smith, or the Republican candidate among Negroes of the nation that the Democrats have ever nominated for this lofty elective position. OPINIONS BEHOLD THE LILY-WHITES! BEHOLD THE LILY-WHITES! A By KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C. According to the New Standard dictionary, a lily-white is a Southern Republican who is opposed to the Negro. The term originated during the days of reconstruction. In those days its significance was antinomic because it was "black Republican," according with more recent political parlance lily-white is contrasted with "black and tan" as expressive of two wide apart attitudes—the one indicative of the exclusive prerogative of the White Republican to rule party organization. While the other signifies a tolerant spirit of cooperation of both races to desired political ends. In the beginning the term lily white was an epithet of reproach as violative of the sound faith and doctrine of the "Grand Old Party." But in their later degenerate days it is more or less capricious than the normal Republican mind. "Got now," said the wily management. "Let us play the Negro of the North against his abandoned brother in the South. We will organize a Negro committee to corral the votes in the North where they count in the present election, to soothe their ruffled feelings for the ruthlessness of the lily-white steam roller in the South, where they do not count, so far as concerns our present purpose." The Negro is not fool enough to be misled to the thought that the left-handed consideration for the Northern minority can ever atone for the loss of primary political power in the South. It is infinitely more important that the black man should exercise the franchise in Mississippi than in Massachusetts. In the North there is no question of constitutional principle and human rights. There is no party division on the Negro's claim to the ballot. Work and Raokob have the same solicitude for the Northern Negro vote and the same disregard and indifference for the political status of the Southern brother.

The union of unscrupulous white men and grillible Negroes makes an unhealthful combination. As more normal and representative Southern white men have indicated willingness to cast their fortune with the Republican party in the South, they have expressed their unwillingness to work with the Negro on terms of equality, on the ground that the colored man was too corrupt and venal for association in such exalted functions. Candor compels the concession that too many Negro political leaders by unsavory conduct have contributed greatly to this unenviable reputation. With commendable exceptions they have deserted the true and tried friends of human equality for the more attractive inducements of the winning band wagon and the alluring fleshpots. The lamentable figure which Negro delegates have cut in national Republican conventions makes a sad chapter in the history of our racial political life. The white Southern politician has seized upon this as a pretext of eliminating him altogether as a controlling factor in party management.

There can be no shifting of bases. The Republican wins taken the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments off the agenda, at the demand of the lily-wishes in order to take the fourteenth and fifteenth watch the outcome with interest.

THE MIRROR (Continued From Page One) fact that the city fathers failed to include the widening of Washington Avenue to the end of the city limit in the proposal, it is expected that the city will carry in Saturday's special election. It likewise appears that the Negro leadership in political organizations lacks the prestige, resources and resourcefulness to efficiently manipulate the political machinery of important political units. In no instance has such control built up an effective Republican party which offered serious competition with its political rival. In Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi, under Negro management, the party counts as zero so far as conscious functioning in state and local affairs. It does not encourage or induce or protect the local Negro in the exercise of suffrage even under the restrictions of revised constitutions. Virginia, North Carolina and Texas, where the lily white management prevails, show a more virile and militant Republican opposition. Notwithstanding the fact that colored electors are not qualified to cast a vote for a Democratic candidate in a party primary election in this city county and state, the incongruity and paradoxicalness of such a situation does permit Negroes to determine the fate of important bond issues, charter amendments and other weighty civic matters and issues; and we urge colored citizens to go to the polls Saturday and cast their ballots in this special election authorizing $2,950,000 bond issues for municipal improvements.

Sunday afternoon we motored out to the Colored Young Men's Christian Association's summer camp for boys, located on one of the picturesque creeks near Spring, and found the youngsters all in fine spirits and having a most merry time. Our Negro national politicians have contented themselves in the main as well as the secondary officers and distributors. This process might continue for another hundred years and the Negro community has been stationary or regressive. The Negro chief complaint against the Negro community is the fact that it lacks the courage to state the South as a blameless Negro community as Roosevelt did and in 1918. But it is attempting to accommodate the Negro community, trickery, trickery and low cunning. David Bermis be supplanted, Walter C. Crawford be crucified and Bob Church threatened on the spurious ground of corruption and venality. Thus the race is tainted by the Negro community which will brand it to overestimate it in all parts of the country and But, Lee, its er long dane lat daint got no turn.

The boys are in charge of an expert swimmer, who is serving both an adult camp counselor and a charge of the camp state that the youngsters are getting their biggest thrill out of dips and dives in the camp. The camp was thrown open to visitors Sunday, and we ran across several camps and to see the sons and to inspect the camp. The camp is providing the boys a typical outing and vacation, and the board of directors of the local branch of the camp is responsible for the Secretary G. T. Stocks deserve commendation for this annual outing and it is hoped that next year a larger number of boys will avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy such outings. It is interesting to watch the lily white game as it is played with exquisite cunning. The Negro has a passion for party regularity and a penchant for the winning band wagon. When the band wagon leaves in sight and the driver cracks the whip of party regularity, the Negro politician is so eager to get aboard that he forgets all about racial welfare. Frederick Douglass opposed the candidacy of John M. Langstor for congress from Virginia because he has the audacity to antagonize regular machinery of his party. N. Wright Cuney voted against making John R. Lynch temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention in 1884, because the Negro Mississippian was opposed to the Texan's candidate for the presidency Henry Lincoln Johnson threw Judson Lyons off the national committee it's favor of a white man who was at the time politically friendly. Booze of Mississippi supported, at one time, a Mississippi white man for national committeemanship over Perry Howard because they were on opposite factional sides. Judge Cobb pursuant of the policy of his delegation from the District of Columbia voted against Henry Lincoln Johnson in favor of a white man for a mittemanship when the denial Geor gian aspired to overcome the very white man whom he had previously used to supplant Lyons.
