BISHOP STUDENTS DEPART:
Employing a special chair car, the Houston students left tuesday morning via the Missouri Pacific lines for Bishop College, Marshall. Several students who have been attending Bishop during previous sessions, were in the number.

"Another point that is too scandalous to be ignored, I touch. Dr. Hoeley, the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, referring to him as my associate in party, gave me the name with gentlemen of the present political arrangement. There we were, one of the great men in Johnsons one of the great men in history of great men, should be compared so innocently and measured that to mention the names of Dr Hawkins, Dr. Scott and Dr. Hoeley "Link" Johnson is a challenge to the patience of the leader, a great lawyer and a voter. He was Republican of his death and under the laws of Georgia he could not have been. No year passed without his return to Georgia to register as a voter and keep his citizenship clear. Neither Carolina, Dr. Scott to Texas nor Dr Hoeley to the court house in either citizenship and play the full man! "The main point must not be lost from the committee because, first I wanted Mr. Hoeley elected; and second, because these in front of the committee I still want Mr. Hoeyer elected and the gentlemen are still without

Enroute from Galveston to Matsagura County, the oil company of the Crude Oil Company of Mexia and Houston spent money in the city and stated recently n g o t i e d lea tes on the coast near Bay City, Matsagura County. The colonel asserted that prospectors are bright for striking oil in Matsagura County, and three several Negroes have been wealthy overnight, as all the residents own by members of the race.

Back in the spring, when this columnist first lapped the Houston Bowl opponent, the opponents on the diamond, the prediction was made in this department and then walloped the team which was the winner of the circuit for 1928 would have to come by our Buffs. The Buffs won the first half and then walloped Wichita Falls champions of 1927, in a recent play-off, series, three out of four games, winning two of the titles very decisively. By this double triumph the Buffs will meet the winner of the Memphis game in the Southern Association, for the premier baseball honors of the city. It is the first time a South Texas team has won the Texas League penalty series, and it marks the first time Houston has won the penalty series, and it marks the first time Houston baseball bags, including this writer, are jubilant; for Fort Houston baseball bags, if we were losing under the impression that no such signal home would ever come to the premier city of Texas

The political situation grows more uneven, home, and is endangered by the federal government in the question of the Negro's part in the American economy. It is said that the government, the Democratic fold, and that this is giving politicians more concern that the Southern part of the Republican party is slipping from the Republican party.

Lesson for September 23
THE CHRISTIAN BASIS OF TOTAL ABSTINENCE
Temperance Lesson.
LESSON TEXT-1 Cor. 8:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT-1- Let no man seek
his own but every man another's
wealth.
1. The idol is Nothing (v. 1-4).
Intelligent people know that an idol is nothing but a person they know that there is only one God, the creator and sustainer of all things. Since an idol such as a god must suffer all suchness is a matter of indifference. It should be borne in mind that the principled stated in this section has an important consequence: it wrongs people. Strictly speaking, therefore, this teaching cannot be applied to indulgence in intoxicating liquor, etc. are things wrong in themselves. The Paul's meaning. The indulgence in intoxicating liquor, the use of tobacco, etc. are things wrong in themselves. The holding of stock in certain corporations and having partnership in them is wrong in themselves. In applying this principle to the use of intoxicating liquor, this should be borne in mind. The things which are in themselves harmless. In all All Christians Have Maturity of Discernment (v. 7, 8).
Uninstructed Christians were still possessed of the conviction that an idol was really a power and powerful person and should be a social meal where such meat was eaten would be to expose themselves to a social meal where such meat again under bondage to their skin.
IV. The Teaching illustrated in Paul's life (ch. 9)
He worked with his own hands lost his mission to them should be misjudged. While he vigorously contended for his right to be allowed to be misjudged, by means of his own labors and the donations which he received he was able to boast that he had not been chargeable to them.
IV. The Teaching Applied (10:28-32)
1. Christians may indulge in lawful things only as they are expedient and useful. 2. Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbors good. (v. 24).
3. The principle of use is unimaginable.
4. Whether therefore he eat or do all to the glory of God (v. 31).
The Christian is not at liberty to do that when he could not eat or do all to the glory of God (v. 31).
4. Give no occasion for anyone to stumble (v. 32).
We should not give that no one can eat or do all to the glory of God we have been the occasion of his downfall.
5. Follow the example of Jesus (11:11).
We should give up all for the sake of others.
The Road of Good Works
The road of good works is blocked by our past sins, and it is sure to be further blocked by our future sins; we ought, therefore, to rejoice that the open road of faith—Spergonus.
Thank God
Thank God for a gospel that stings
itself into our daily lives, and that
makes us sing away sorrow and care!

HOUSTON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1928
NEGROES VERY ACTIVE FOR SMITH
According to news stories appearing in the various race news papers, Negroes in various sections of the country are busy perfecting, organizations to back and support the presidential candidates of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York, Democratic nominee for the highest elective office in America.
Not only is such activity being manifested in the Eastern, Northern, Mid-Western and Western sections of the country, but colored voters in border and even Southern states are openly exposing the cause of the Democratic presidential standard-bearer, and are planning to cast their ballots for him in the November election.
Judging from this pre-election activity on the part of the colored electors in Smith's behalf in all parts of the republic, it appears from this angle that the Gotham governor will receive more votes from the Negro contingent than any Democratic presidential candidate in the history of the United States.
In this connection, it is amusing to observe the flattering reports, beaming over-confidence, being made by certain colored leaders of the Republican party, who are assuring the white G. P. leaders that Mr. Hoover will land all the colored votes in the country.
Whether the Republican leaders, both white and black, realize it or not, the fact remains that they are going to have an elephant-task on their hands trying to keep the colored "brother" tied up with the Republican party in this forthcoming presidential race; and thousands of Negroes, who are advocating the election of Governor Smith, are not actuated by the governor's views on prohibition, but they honestly believe that the Negro can fare no worse under Governor Smith and his Democratic regime than the race has fared under the Harding and Coolidge national administrations.
To offset and overcome this deep-seated resentment towards the Republican party and its presidential ticket on the part of American Negroes, it behooves the G. O. P. leaders to not take everything for granted and continue to labor under the age-old impression that the Negro will vote blind for the candidate of the Republican party, when the race has about as much to expect from Governor Smith as from Secretary Hoover, according to the expressed opinion of so many outstanding race leaders of national republic.
Again, the fact that so many Southern Democrats, who have always opposed men because of color, creed or class, are supporting Mr. Hoover and opposing Governor Smith, has led many Negroes, in even "Bam," to conclude that Governor Smith must be a mighty fine specimen of Americanism and democracy (in its larger sense), and these black Americans state that they are willing to take their chances with the Gotham governor; that in pursuing such a political course the race has very little to lose and probably much to gain.
In politics, love and war, it is a good policy to take nothing for granted; for unforeseen incidents often transpire which alter the whole complexion of the situation, and cause losers to adulter in post-mortem lamentations.
The Informer is an ardent supporter of Nominee Herbert Hoover, but this paper is speaking authoritatively when it warns the Republican leaders, if they want to hold the colored vote in all sections of the country, not to underestimate the pre-Smith sentiment among the Negroes of the United States.
Why, already Colored "Smith-For-President" clubs have been organized in some of the Dixie states, to say nothing of the numerous Negro-Smith organizations in other sections of the country; and, with William M. McDonald, Ft. Worth race banker, politician and fraternalist the chief Smith backer of color in Texas. The Informer will not be surprised to see a strong and whirl organization launched among Texas Negroes to support and vote for Governor Smith.
Many of the arguments now being advanced by these ebony-hued supporters of Nominee Smith are both logical and feasible, and heavy inroads are sure to be made in the normal Negro vote, unless the Republican leaders sense the situation and take immediate, definite and positive steps to overcome or counteract the Smith movement among erstwhile stalwart colored Republicans.
In their zeal to elect Governor Smith president of the United States it appears that most or most of our racial brethren have been opposed to that fact that they cannot support for Senate Robinson, the Arkansas Negrophobe, who holds his senatorial seat due to the disfranchisement of colored citizens in that
---
state, and the open and brazen disregard for the American constitution and its amendments!
If Senator Robinson should become Vice-President Robinson, and if some unforeseen event should make him President Robinson, wouldn't the American Negroes be in a "heluva" fix? Selah!
"THE SOUTH, INCORPORATED!"
White business representatives from several Southern states held a meeting at Biloxi, Miss., recently, where a movement was launched to promote Dixie industry, especially foreign trade.
The name of this organization is "The South, Incorporated," and the promoters plan to raise $5,000,000 over a ten-year period to prosecute the work of not only selling Southern commodities and products to the other sections of the country and even foreign nations, but to "sell" the South to the nation and world.
This is a very worthy undertaking, but The Informer fears that the South will never enjoy the industrial prestige that was kers prior to the Civil War until racial prejudice is eliminated, or at least subordinated, throughout the commonwealths of "Bam."
No individual or race can get very far afflicted with colorphobia, and the South's present low industrial, economic, educational and commercial status is attributable, chiefly, to the fact that this section devotes more time, energy and attention in its efforts to paddle and perpetuate racial prejudice than it does in trying to build up industries, promote commerce, develop trade and produce a symmetrical and intelligent citizenry.
If the South devoted as much time and energy to the development of its natural resources and the resultant industrial prosperity and economic supremacy, as it does in the vain and silly attempt to keep the Negro in a servile attitude and serf condition, the Southland could then truthfully boast not so much of "white supremacy" as of industrial leadership and commercial supremacy.
While the South has been preaching race hatred and "Negro inferiority" since the Civil War, the North has been making substantial gains and unprecedented progress along industrial, economic, commercial, educational, religious and even political lines, and today whatever the South needs, even to political leadership, this section must look to the North for it.
The capstone to Southerners' education must be obtained in Northern and Eastern institutions of learning, and financial assistance for all big ventures projected in the South, even to the erection of mammoth office buildings and large hotels, must be secured from capitalists and investment brokers residing in other sections of the country.
There is scarcely an office or household article used in the South which is a Southern product; and, despite the fact that the South leads the world in cotton production, this section must send its raw products to the textile centers of the North and East and then pay handsome prices for finished products.
Man-power, a very important industrial factor, is a very cheap Southern commodity; yet the South, like the slightful servant with one talent, has buried its opportunity for industrial development and economic expansion, apparently fearful that the Negro might profit, somewhere, from such sensible and much-needed sectional program.
Prejudice is a force of obstruction and destruction, rather than construction, and racial hatred and class distinctions have never built and maintained a well-rounded and efficiently-functioning civilization.
Speaking both figuratively and literally, the South is a veritable Garden of Eden, but, like Father Adam, Dixie has fallen from grace, and great has been its fall!
The work of reclamation and regeneration must be effected by Southerners, but before they can consummate, this much-desired transaction, they must get a new vision; in the language of the Holy Writ, they "must be born again," or else their efforts to sell the South to the outside world will meet with stiff reverses and encounter serious setbacks.
Here's hoping that despite what is said to the contrary about "hellish, heathenish and humain" Mississippi, something good will finally come forth from the Mudcat State. Selah!
LARGE BLOC OF DEPENDABLE VOTES
Despite the editorial contention of The Informer that some efforts should be made to organize the 100,000 or more qualified and normally Republican colored voters of Texas for the Hoover-Curtis cause, no attempt has yet been made in this direction, either by the Republican leaders or the Negroes themselves. While The Informer realizes and recognizes that there is much objection to Governor Smith's candidacy on the part of thousands of Texas Democrats, this paper is also aware of the fact that this opposition and hostility will dwindle perceptibly before election day; that many of the professed Hoover-Democrats, learning that they can not vote for Mr. Hoover for president and Senator Robinson for vice-president, will either decide to "stomach" the wet protege of Tammany Hall and "swallow" the entire Democratic ticket from "president to constable," or be "absent without leave" on general election day.
In other words, while the Republican leaders of Texas are pursuing the proper course in trying to corral these Hoover-Democrats, they should not overlook a good bet and bargain and fail or refuse to land fully 100,000 to 125,000 ballots from the hands of colored citizens of the Lone Star State.
However, unless a statewide movement is launched and perfected to line up, educate and enlist these colored voters, The Informer fears that they will either remain away from the polls on election day, or a last-minute campaign will be conducted among them the Smith forces and thousands of these normally Republican voters will go to the Democratic presidential elections on Tuesday, November 6, 1928.
There are visibly perturbed over the present partisan and political situation in this state, and notwithstanding all their anti-Negro propaganda and legislation, they would rather see Negroes vote for Governor Smith and Senator Robinson than see Texas give Secretary Hoover and Senator Curits its electoral votes.
Therefore, any party leader with a modicum of sense and foreknowledge of the times, he should be able to interpret them and map out and execute his program to the best interests of the party, state and nation.
