HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1928 Mississippi Leader Routs Opponents In Barter Episode Jackson, Miss.—(ANP)—After being locked up over night because of inability to agree, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of Perry W. Howard, former Republican national committee from Mississippi, and his associates who were charged with bartering federal patronage in the state of Mississippi. The verdict, which was rendered here at noon Friday, bore out the prediction made by the Associated Negro Press correspondent when the trial opened that the defendants would be exonerated and that the desired end had been accomplished, namely the wrestling of the leadership in Republican affairs in the state from the hands of Negroes. The trial opened Monday with the court room packed with citizens, and the jury later attended a production of P.

He gave the testimony of the trial of a gilt between Lester G. Fant, prescribing attorney and Attorney Perry W. Howard. The testimony of the trial was the testimony of Gus Woodcoe, suspended bailiff of the Billion court, that a Justice of the Court offered him, $1,000 "to help frame these niggers."

FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 31 Coolidge Signs Bill Making DC School National Agency Washington, D. C.—The bill amending an act to incorporate Howard University, which passed the United States house of representatives during the last session of congress, was passed by the senate last Monday without debate and was signed by President Coolidge on Thursday. Senator Trammel, Florida, put forth an effort to have the bill reconsidered. His motion was overruled by a vote of 55 to 14. The legislation is a result of years of persistent endeavor on the part of friends of the university in both houses of congress, two presidents of Howard University and the secretary-treasurer. The effect of the legislation will be to remove the possibility of the practice on the part of Democratic representatives to have the senate approve the bill.

The team will march a down the field and felt confident when the ball was carried over the fence back with plenty of fight. The winger winged a lion pace from the air and carried it across the field. In the second game, a wift Eagle once once made a pass from Yale and the Eagles looked very gloomy for the Lions until they looked very glorious on the ball on the fourth down and then alumbed, rolled, acquired his way, sometimes with interference, with the Eagles, for a distance of twenty yards through the Eagles to even the count for the game.

This is an old, old story, but it grows sweeter and more sublime with each succeeding age. Years have failed to dim its lustre neither has time effaced its holy glory and transcendent grandeur. Poets have sung of it in notes of sweet acclaim, while prophets, priests and kings have proclaimed it far and wide. Mothers have posited it around the family heart, while children listened with stained breath. For nearly 2000 years Christendom has been thrilled and its constituent rendered happy and jubilant at the annual celebration of His natal day, which means so much to civilization and the human family. It was first proclaimed to the shepherds during the nocturnal hours and their clocks on the quaint and historic hills of Judex, as the stars their vigils kept and while sleep held dominion over the land. In the stillness and tranquility of that memorable night, when all nature was hung in silence and as "the heavens were declaring the glory of God and the firmaments were showing for His handwork," an angelic voice broke the "good tidings of great joy" in those vigilant custodians of the sheep, in a voice clear, distinct and unmistakable. As this heavenly ambassador gave out the glad tidings, heaven's angelic chore broke into one of the sweetest, most harmonious songs ever heard by mortal ears, saying, "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." Truly no music since the dawn of creation proclaimed a greater message to mankind; nor has any been written or sung since without this great Gift forming the main motif and chief theme. "Peace on earth!" If men and nations would only be guided in their feelings and relations with each other by the terms of the Golden Covenant, and not by the words "do unto me" even as unto them"—the clash of martial arms would be heard no more on the bloody battlefields and men and nations would study war no more. But only through the Christ idea and principle can an era of peace be ushered in between the sons of men and nations of the earth. "Goodwill toward men!" How much better this world would be this pharaoh must impart in his day application! With "goodwill toward men" as our actifying spirit and with the principles of the holy Nazarene as our guide, class and race prejudice and antipathy would flee in their wake as mist before the morning's sun, as the fiery steeds of Phaethon step majestically and proudly from their oriental stable to their occidental abode, dispersing their lucent and radiant rays upon Mater Tera. It is very meet that annually mankind is reminded of this holy tradition, and goodwill and distribution of gifts constitute our chief program. The birth of the Prince of Peace was the beginning of a new period in the history of man. Before His birth selfishness reigned supreme and the Mosaic retaliatory ordinance prompted men in their dealings one with the other. Christ, in later years, taught a doctrine of love, selfishness and forgiveness, of devotion and consecration rather than ceremony and ordination modes of worship; He both preached and the doctrine of the Godhood of God and brotherhood of man by preach and example. He was the founder and most pronounced advocate of religious democracy and established the first and only religious creed that embraces the whole human family. He gave to the world Christianity, an inclusive rather than an exclusive religion. The real Christmas spirit is to be joyful and our giving to the world is to be joyful, giving those who are able to return in kind. As Christ was a gift to the sick—as He declared, the well need no physician—Christmas is robbed of its clearest treasure and greatest joy when it is divested of the spirit of making others happy through kindly deeds and priceless tokens of goodwill and cheer. May each of us shape our lives more after the principles the Prince of Peace us will uphold in this season of the year. That the Informer extends maniments of the season to its many readers and advertisers, with the wish that their Christmas will be merry and cherry. The Houston Informer Complete Survey of Negro Business In President Moton's Possession; Some Interesting Facts Disclosed Complete Survey of Negro Business In President Moton's Possession; Some Interesting Facts Disclosed Tukungue Institute, Ala.—This a service, price and quality overcome the obstacles of color in business, in the conduct of survey of Negro business, conducted the survey of Negro business after having examined more than 100 states during the past eight months. The preliminary report was made by the president, president of the National Negro Business League, under whose annotated will, president of the National Negro Business men too often confine themselves only to the Negro business, many of their wealth and buying power of the group served," the report reads, "They have been able to compete in the open market against all comers." "These businesses have been able to understand knowledge of their businesses with fair capital, Negroes not only know regardless of the racial factors. This presents the most fruitful field of Negro business enterprises, the report reveals, are still predominantly Negro business enterprises, this true in the retail field. The few partnerships exist and not enough are among many hopeful signs of cooperative efforts as indicated in the advance of the insurance and industrial fields. There is a definite need for development of cooperative buying among small individual operators, with limited capitalisation, stock, credit and equipment. The need for a chain and cut-rate store competition. This is general throughout the retail industry, with the exception of the micro merchant. On the other hand, there are outstanding examples of cooperative-buying retail stores operated by individuals. Problems confronting Nebro business owners include Gordon Simpson, Wendell Bolt, Bert M. Roddy and J. H. Harmon. 1. More adequate financing and credit facilities for legitimate enterprises. 2. More direct and profitable investment of surplus funds of Nebro fraternal organizations to the beneficiaries. 3. Elimination of overcrowding of certain fields with small, undercapitalized, poorly managed individual businesses. 4. Appreciation of the value of advertising. 5. Development of new fields of business. 6. The perpetuation of older businesses from one generation to the passing of the founders. 7. Specialized training of larger numbers to meet the growing demand of the survey has definitely shown the need for the continued intensive program of the National Negro Business men and women in business methods of buying, selling, display, business men and women in record keeping" the report states. The field work has thoroughly convinced that the National Negro Business League is rendering a valuable service to them and to the nation in its efforts to grow larger and larger business operated by Negroes. This has begun on compilation of statistical tables, interpolation and editing of the final report from which much valuable information is expected. "This survey is a mirror for Negro business," says Albon L. Holey, the director of the study made. "It should show us just where we stand in the business situation we may work to eliminate them; and our opportunities, so that we may recognize them and take advantage of them." Accompanied by Athkinson and daughter, Miss Glady, the Freemans left this week for Hot Springs, Ark. The team, the Freemans will spend the winter.

Dickerson, regional director for the Al Anderson, regional director for the recent career, former polemarch of the Kappa Alpha group, Edward H. Muris, Odd Fellow leader. Success in the election inspired Senator Demen Sateen to Wright to take over the management of his factorial's sequence, a merger of Wright's organization, and the Densen organization, a merger of Wright's organization, and the combined effect. This combination is expected to get behind Dickerson's candidacy. Dickerson, as a candidate, has resigned from the Senate and Filiations. It is too early yet to predict what the outcome of the battle between Dickerson and Wright are both in the fight of their lives, and that it will be in the negygon's political history. As it progresses, an opportunity will be provided to comment on some of its results in the negygon in America. WHITE STUDENTS SEEK KNOWLEDGE OF COLORED RACE Atlanta, Ga. — The effort for better understanding across racial lines, which has characterized the interracial movement in the South, was evidenced last week by a tour on the part of the Atlanta College, college leading local institutions for white young women, during which they visited a number of the more important NGO institutions and enterprises and also went through the colored residential section, observing conditions of housing and recreation. The first call of the young ladies, who were in charge of their teacher, were in charge of the school of Social Work, the School of Social Work, the purposes and work of the school were in charge of the school of B.

Following this they sat for an hour in the class in social work, and May Drew McGill, M.G., may Drew McGill, social work school faculty, next conducted the group on a visit to the Atlanta Welfare Society, Welfare Society, the Atlanta Life Insurance Company, and other business.

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! HOUSTON ELECTRIC CO. GALVESTON-HOUSTON ELECTRIC KY. CO. AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER $10,140,000 Mr. Business Man: According to local population estimates, Houston has between 60,000 and 65,000 colored citizens, who form nearly one-fourth of the city's population. These people believe in and practice the doctrine of trading in Houston, and daily spend huge sums, in the aggregate, with the business concerns of this city. Figured on the basis of $3 per person, per week, expended for necessities and we have between $180,000 and $195,000 spent in Houston every week by this group of our population. For 52 weeks—one calendar year—these colored citizens spend between $9,360,000 and $10,140,000 for necessities alone. This staggering figure does not include the amount of money invested in homes and real estate, in the purchase of automobiles and accessories, furniture, radios and other household necessities and luxuries. More Negroes own homes and automobiles in Houston than in any other city its size in America. HOUSTON NEGROES EARN MORE MONEY AND SPEND MORE MONEY THAN NEGROES IN ANY OTHER CITY IN TEXAS OR THE SOUTHWEST. How much of this business are you getting each week, month and year? Have you ever considered the Negro's business worth your effort to land and maintain? Do you think a group which spends $10,000,000 locally, each year, a business asset or liability? Do you want some of this business? If you do, bear in mind that a large number of these buyers—both actual and potential—can best be reached by soliciting and seeking their business in this racial newspaper, which reaches more Negroes than any other journal printed in Houston.

"Please, please Jettie Darling, and I shall love you. . . Let's see . . . ummmm. . . ummm, Lordy, Jettie Downs, I declare, I can't love you one bit better than I do." The supplicant was a little dark girl, slim like a southern pine and so straight, she appeared taller than her five feet, and her name was Lily, Lily White. The woman to whom her plea was addressed was a wide-bosomed gingham-aproned creature with a skin like whipped cream-in-chocolate, and when Jettie Downs moved, she did so regally. Even if her empire revealed in symbols of the alphabet, spelled kitchen, she was an Empress. "Fruit cake like no one else but you can make," was but a tiny, tiny bit of the homage, a mere pebble as it were, tossed into the tumbling torrents of daily praise. She moved a trifle more regally than was her wont, and looked at Lily. Amazement, contempt and pity were mingled in that glance. --- "I don't see no sense in it," she said, "Just plain foolishness wasting a lot of hard-earned money on white folks. "Folks what's got money to throw away." "I know Jet, some white folks, but not Miss Grace and Miss Hope. Those two white folks ain't got no money to throw 'way." "Shucks! Lily White you're crazy.

"And I for one says it would be a lots more sensible to waste your money on Alice." In her queenly fashion Jettie stepped to the range and stirred something in a sauce-pan that was bubbling thereon. "Oh, Jettie, don't be a mean old hypocrite. "I came to you because I thought you liked white people. . ." "Huh"—interrupted Jettie, "I thought you came 'cause I made the best fruit cake of anybody!

"Christmas, the one time of the year when sincerity showers you with its sparkling prisms to reveal you as you are. Though you dress depression in tissue paper, drap it in tinsel stars and tie it with holly wreaths to mimic the glee of others you can never fool the Christmas spirit. He knows. Knows whether you are blessed with joy or cursed with gloom. Why? Who can say? Perhaps the Christmas Spirit himself swings the mirror of truth to reveal you as you are. For seven months Grace Loring had pretended to be brave, for seven months Hope Loring had pretended to be happy and nearing Christmas and the Christmas Spirit was descending upon the sisters with owe, miserable and ugly. Once upon a time they had been wealthy, wealthy indeed, though theirs had been an afflicted family, wealth had done everything to allay the plague of illness. But one year ago Alexander Morley Loring, scholar and traveler, father of Grace and Hope, and the last of the Loring men, had died, and following his death it was learned that with him had died the Loring's riches. Bad investments! Everything was in a muddle! The old ancestral Loring house was sold as were the books and the old furniture, and withal the two girls had a neat sum. Then Hope, who had always been considered the sturdiest of them all, succumbed to the family plague and grew ill and yet more ill, until every cent of the hoarded money was gone. HARD TIMES That was at time both Grace and Hope wished to forget. The Twininga, friends to the Lorings for a generation, stood by them, Arthur Twining did more than enough. It had always bee supposed that Athena and Grace would marry, but to every one's son, soon as Hope could travel-posehame more than she should have, the Loring girls had slipped away, actually slipped away from all their friends and the scene of their sorrows. For several months they had been hidden away in a little town obscured by its own lofty mountains, where Grace had found work as a saleslady in a little, dark store which impudently lay claim to the name of "Broadway's Emporium." Assisted by the advertisements in the town, had they found a tiny furnished house on a hill, and set up housekeeping with the help, of course, of Lily White. Another saleslady had told Grace about Lily White, in fact told her so many things concerning Lily, that Grace held her breath while interviewing the dark, the straight, the imperturable Lily, never for once believing that Lily would condescend to come to them for the little she was able to offer. . . Had not the friendly saleslady said: "Oh, you pay them fifty to seventy dollars just for cooking." Yet Lily came, and for that Grace and Hope were exceedingly thankful: It was the one thing that the Christmas Spirit found them rejoicing over. CANNOT AFFORD TURKEY "You darling, turkeys are fifty cents to pound; we could never afford it; think, dear, what will happen should my health fail." A sob from the foul buddied creature on the davenport. "It's cruel to remind you, darling, but you know Dr. Black always told us that mine was an arrested case, that I was as sound as a dollar and would last for years. if... if..." Grace smiled dismally, and continued weefully. "If I were placed in a gilded cage, dear. oh, oh, oh." They fungi themselves into other's arms—the poor thin sick sister and the poor, tired, weary sister and cried and cried. . . . And strange the Christmas Spirit MARRIED AT 65!

"Christmas actually wouldn't be Christmas without it." Hope Loring reclining upon the davenport wearly propped herself upon an elbow to watch Lily fit here and dart there like a blackbird, about room, talking incessantly and cheerly. She was hearkened in spite of herself, cheerful Lily fitting about made her forget the bleak outlook of tomorrow. She found herself recalling the trusting-ful expectancies of her childhood. Old Santa! How she loved him! His white beard, his shining black boots, his gay red garments, adored all of him, believed in him! What right had she to doubt him? During all the years when she had believed, he had never failed her, never. Dear old Santa. . . Oh, supposing. In her illness and helplessness she felt so like a weary little girl. "Supposing!" The thought persisted. . . "Supposing old Santa would come, even now if she but trusted. . " She looked about strangely. . . Lily White had gone, flown from the room without a sound of furttering like a swift winged blackbird. . . No. . No magically like an old Santa. . . "What utter nonsense. . ." She said hoarsely and fell back dejectedly among the pillows. **GRACE IS LATE** Grace was late, later than ever before, because the Christmas rush, even in this, out-of-the-way spot folks rushed on Christmas Eve, was on. Lily White would be gone home, even that did not matter, nothing mattered any more, only Hope was alone. . . She attempted a quickened pace, but her tired feet would not be rushed. She was dead tired; her body ached and throbbed, she was feverish, and she fully believed she was delirious . . . all day her brain had created phantasms . . . There now! There before her was another! Holly wreaths in the windows! Mistletoe in the doorway! It was . . . well . . . she must not alarm Hope, poor little Hope. "Hang up your stocking, little one." She forced herself to call gaily. "This is Christmas Eve." Grace choked and turned away to hide her brimming eyes, as she took off her hat and heavy wraps. She lifted her head, what was Hope saying with not a trace of mockery in her voice? "They are hung, big sister, yours and mine." "Well, of all things, Hope Loring." Grace gasped at sight of the two stockings swinging from either end of the mantle. "Lily White asked me to," said Hope simply. "And Santa always comes to good little children."

"Old Santa," exclaimed Hope, with shining eyes, is coming through the kitchen instead of down the chimney. . ." "We shall dress for dinner," announced Grace without further ado. "Yes," said Hope, "That will make Lil- I mean Santa very happy." "We shall set the table, if Lily will let us. I wonder will she allow us to help?" They were holding tightly to one another's hand; their faces shining happily like little children's faces upon a Christmas morning. "They made us an merry Christmas," they cried to Lily. "Tut, but," replied that lady, "Christmas must be in your heart." Prodded by the Christmas spirit, Grace and Hope remembered that stored away in an unpacked box were some remnants of the Loring silver, and that a certain cloth would be the very one to enhance the Christmas feast. When everything was ready the few remaining touches, which Lily declared, no one but her own cheery self, was capable of doing, they dressed. Dressed gaily in their loveliest garments to please Lily White, while the Christmas Spirit ran rampant all over the house. Why, Miss Grace. . . I declare, Miss Hope. . . I never would've believed it, if I wasn't standing here looking at you with my own eyes. . ." So Lily greeted them as they entered the tiny room where the feast was started, and they had entered, and Hope had cried, "Let us sit here together," when a knocking, loud, then louder, sounded at the door. A man entered. . . Arthur Twining of all the people in the wide world! Grace was in his arms clinging there as naturally as leaf to stem. . . "They are under the mistletoe," quoted Lily White sotto-voice to Hope, "And if you'll listen to me. .. Come out here and watch me dish up the turkey." "Lily White. . . Lily White. . . you are really, truly Santa Claus!" cried Hope. .. And the Christmas Spirit shone forth resplendent, a shining joy! Girl Pictures 36 Startling FRENCH BEAUTIES in different poses.

"Grace had given up Arthur, for her. . ." Oh, dear, oh dear, she must not allow herself to think that . . . Hope sat up, blinking her eyes hard to conceal the tears: Grace rubbed hers suspiciously, sat up, also; they jumped out of bed and dressed soberly. The bed-side clock pointed to 11 with a derivive finger. . . Eleven o'clock, and a Christmas morning! They sought their stockings, but the stockings swung imply in their plums. Trying hard not to show any disappointment, Grace would not look at Hope, but reached out her arm reassuringly instead. . . "Never mind—" She caught her breath with a sharp intake never completing the sentence . . . for Hope had sprung back, clutching the foot of her stocking.
