ATLANTA BARS UNCLE TOM'S CABIN ATLANTA BARS UNCLE TOM'S CABIN SAYS SHOWING UNWISE ATIJANTA, GA, Aug. 28—Uncle Tom's Cabin in the new film version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel will not be shown in Atianta. Following vigorous protests as the result of a private showing on Sunday, the local Board of Review conferred on the matter on Monday with the Mayor and representatives of the motion picture corporation. It was announced Wednesday that the persons concerned had agreed to cancel the Atlanta bookings. Those making protests claimed that the novel had brought on a national upheaval following its publication and that it would most certainly be unwise to revive these conditions at the present time. It also was pointed out that throughout the South as well as the North efforts which brought on the internecine were being made to forget the things struggle which competently wrecked the South. "Let the past be past and let it lie in peace," one protestant said. On last Friday afternoon, August 31, the Mission Sisters of St. Mary Baptist Church purprired Rev. and Mrs. Wm.

She was married to Mr. Frank Murry in 1919 A VISIT SOUTH TO THE NEGRO STAR: It was a pleasant thought when I was reburied of going South to the birth-place of parents and all relatives. I left Kansas City, Kansas, Aug. 20th, 1928. Tuesday, March 1, I arrived in Summerville, Tenn., where I joined Rev. J. C. Cryar, of the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church The services were three time a day; 11 o'clock and 3 p. m. and 8 p. m. We battled with the Jerusalem Blade (Bible) until fifteen souls proclaimed a hope in Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. We held up Christ and the Cross until Christians rejoiced knowing salvation had come into the hearts of so many hearts of that city. There were people from more than twenty (20) miles of in the audience that night and day. Some nights there were 2100 in church and on church campus. We had a glorious time in that city and we went us to come again. We traveled some four miles each night to the home of the good Rev. J. C. Cryar and family. A good country home, where they had chickens, hogs, cows and horses. On the Lord's Day, Aug. 26th. We were at the Mount Olive Baptist Church which is pastoral by this great Christian gentleman. His father and my mother were of the same parents and we think a deal of each other. We spent a happy time there. On Monday Aug. 27th we came to Memphis, Tenn together; where we seperated. He went to Mason, Tenn. to engage in another revival and I took a bus to Jackson, Arkansas where I met Mr. Edward G. Jackson, a nephew and family, we took bus again for Jonesborn. We passed through many villages and towns, reaching the city and found many friends. Among them were Rev. Green, pastor at Earl, Ark., and Elytheville Ark. and Bro. A. Edwards. a former member of a church in Kansas City, Kansas. He was a companion while I was there. A. 10:30 p.m. Tuesday we left for home. On my arrival I found Kansas City Kansas, in with, the progressive people of this country. Respectfully, D.B. JACKSON, Pastor, 8th St. Bapt. Tabernacle, K.C. who departed this life in 1922. She was again married to Rev. J. S. King in 1923. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband, Rev. J. S. King, two brothers, Mr. Louis Smith of Cherryvale, and Mr. James Smith of Dover, Okla., and a host of friends. At a very early age, she was converted, baptized and joined the Baptist church. She has been a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church for 25 years; she was a faithful Christian, always ready to do something for the Master's cause. Her aches and pains are no more; she has gone, to that celestial city whose Builder-and Maker is God, and where there is no night, but all is peace and happiness toy and contentment. We have the blessed hope that some day if we live a faithful Christian life, we will meet her beyond this vail of tears, where parting will be no more knowing that the Whmighty Father doth all things for the best; we bow in humble submission to His will. Weep not for this departed saint who has gone to her heavenly home to be at rest with the Father. No more over this earth to roam, her voice is hushed, among us but her works will live on and on as one of God's faithful workers her work on earth well done. It is a wonderful blessing to be true to the trust, God has given you and to bear your cross bravely when all the world seems against you. But Sister Kings labor was not in vain. She proved faithful to the end she went sweeping through the nearly gates where all she just abide. We shall meet her in that morning when our work on earth is done. We ween not but be breakfast until we read around the Throne. THIS is to certify that if all Gods sociably misfellow would stand by their calling and boost the church of God, and try to seek and to save that which is lost, and give them continually to prayer and the Gospel, there would be little time to spare, looking after other business— even insurance—The Broadaxe. WICHITA, KANSAS. FRIDAY, Sept. 7, 1928. (Editorial from The Wichita Beacon) From the Rev. Nelson S. Gardner, Pastor of the First Methodist, Episcopal Church at Kingman, comes this letter to the Beacon: Glad to find myself tagged and identified. I am one of the "rabble" supporting Clyde Reed for governor. He came to my notice, first when he uncovered the deal in, the weighing of the mail 1 years ago. He aided Vick Murdock with the facts that made it possible to save the government a huge sum of money. Since then I have watched him and admir him. I believe he is the best informed candidate in the race on transportation and agricultural problems. Kansas is an agricultural state and in the section greatly concerned about the present freight rates. I trust that the "rabble" will register and vote in such numbers as to make Clyde Reed the next Governor of this State. PROF. M'KINZIE DSPUTES DANGER FROM THE COLORED RACES (Freston News Service) WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS. Aug. 25—Speaking before the General Conference of the Institute for politics here Wednesday, Prof. R. D. McKenzie, of the University of Washington, said, "There is no danger of the rising tide of color. White races have increased faster than all the colored races put together." "This concern about biological competition is of relatively recent origin and is confined for the most part to white nations of the West." However, it is the colored people that have most caused alarm." Prof. McKenzie quoted figures showing that there is little indication of increase in populations of Asia and Africa outside of Japan and the Dutch East Indies. He described as dying peoples the Indians of America the Ainu of Japan, the Mongolians of China, the Negroes of the Philippines, the Melanasians of the South Pacific. "Fear of the white man," he continued "That Orientalls will outbreed him eventually has no basis in fact." Mrs. Mayme E. W.

ADAMS It has not been enforced and it cannot be enforced, so it is useless to keep pretending." This is one of the sterotyped arguments against cannot be enforced, so it is useless to pretending." This is one of the sterotyped arguments against the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution. So absurd is the statement that it does not merit discussion, attention will be given to the first. In the first place, who ever thou' it possible to enforce this law all at once with millions of gallons of rum, in the country, with defeated wets trying to hinder enforcement so as to bring back drink, considering the continuous profit in boot-legging, and the other countries to smuggle in the goods, no one ever dreamed that strict enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment would be possible for a long time. Then, if inability or failure to fully enforce this law would justify meal, then there would be ample grounds for the repeal not only of all amendments but all of the existing laws. Everybody knows this would mean social chaos aid the disintegration of the nation itself. To elaborate, we have laws against murder, but people are murdered every day. Desire our laws against stealing, Embezzlement, banditry, burglary, hold-ups, and petty thefting all are daily occurrences. Positive are laws against unlawful sex association and other social sins, but these still are prevalent. And this story, might be all truthfully told of every law, every enactment every ordinance, every statute on our books. As it concerns Negroes, no member of the race can afford to aid or aid in any movement toward repeal of this law. The reasons are obvious. If we admit, the unwisdom of the Eighteenth Amendment because it has not been "enforced, the same argument would logically apply to the Fourteenth; and of Fifteenth Amendments, and what Negro would sanction such a calamity." It is scarcely to be believed that the people sighs nation would permit such a backward step, but, if it should be found possible to repeal the Eighteenth Amendment, there is no doubt that Negro-haters would make a miserable attempt to repeal the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, and thus deprive us of our rights. Deprived of citizenship and the right of suffrage our condition would be little better than actual slavery. Instead of joining the "hue and ry" for repeal, it behooves the Negro to stand with the forces which strive for law and order; to be law-abiding himself and by word and deed help in the enforcement of all the laws of our country. Because he is so often the victim of lawlessness he is, the most burden on path to encourage the vination of law. NEGILES SUPPORTING MODIFICATION, OR THE PROHIBITION, LAWS ARE PLAYING INTO THE HANDS OF THEIR WORST ENEMIES — NEGRO HATERS THROUGH THE SOUTH. So, line up with the forces for law and order! Club met in their regular session. The meeting was very interesting and program committee's arrangement, a brief program was颁ender by the Miss Edith Sandery, President, Miss Jones, Secretary, Bpmnl, the whole church enjoyed a speaking meeting. Afterwhich the Communion service was had. Monday night, Sept. 3rd, the United Peace Workers' Club met at the residence of Mrs. Chase Kickapoon St. The club enjoyed a joyy evening, of Mrs. S. Crowder, President, Mrs. Kattle Black, Secretary. Friday night, Aug. 31, The Busy Workers' Club gave it Tunneville Traille and had plenty of fun, Cpl. Louis Brown was the Conductor on the traille. Independent Baptist Church is asking that each church in the city send her, a helping hand in her struggle to make the State Convention one of the greatest sessions ever held. It will convene here in Oct. Watch for Date. HERE is no reason why people in some of the southern states should not start copying after our good friend Mr. Noah, and build an ark. GEE, THAT'S A PEACH OF A KNIFE, WHERE DID YOU GET IT? LE'S SEE IT. ITS DIG ENOUGH T' HUNT INDIAN'S WITH, AINT IT YESSIR, THREE BLADES AN' ITS A BEAUTY, MY PA GAVE IT TO ME, IT'S A HUNTIN' KNIFE THE NEW KNIFE THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS It is twenty-eight years since the National Negro Business League was founded under the leadership of Booker T. Washington. The presence of 500 delegates from many parts of the United States here in New York City at the twenty-ninth annual session gives evidence of the vitality of this organization. It is directed not toward segregation of a group and the consolidation of its interests, but rather toward the development of self reliance and habita of thrift and business sense among its members. Major Moton, the head of Tuskegee, said in addressing the League in support of the purposes, which it had had from its inception, that while co-operation with other races was ultimately essential, they must first demonstrate their own capacity to cooperate among themselves. This rests upon the conviction that no race can climb faster than the development of its commercial enterprise permits. In 1925 there were more than 225 lines of business in which 70,000 Negroesgroes were engaged, and the amounts invested in these business enterprises had risen to more than $60,000,000. This would be pitiably small for a people of 12,000,000 were it not that it shows a growth from almost nothing in a half century on the part of those who had no earlier experience to draw upon who began at the scratch, without even the elements of an education or the lift of even a slight financial or social inheritance. Viewed in its just perspective it is a noteworthy achievement. The ability of a people to carry on business with efficiency, which includes as its prime factor honesty is a test of its capacity for going forward. When this demonstration has been made widely, as it is being made by a gratifyingly increasing creasing number of Negro men in business and employing business methods, even more rapid progress will be made in the essentials of what the modern world has defined as civilization.

Missionary Baptist State Convention Apportionment Plan Adopted at the State Meeting at Topeka, October 4-9, 1927 My Dear Co-laborers: At the annual session of our State Convention held at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927, the Convention adopted the more modern plan for carrying forward our Missionary and Educational work (both Home and Foreign) and in fact for carrying forward all our Convention obligations. Our plan calls for $10,000 annually. The plan adopted at the Convention was that $0,700 00 be apportioned directly to the Churches and the balance of the $10,000 to the Con-Associations and Auxiaries,ventions of the State and District Ventions of the State and District The amount apportioned to the Churches to be paid monthly or quarterly to the State office, the able because the State obligations LUMBER, MOULDING, FLOORING, WINDOWS AND DOORS AT THE MARSHALL LUMBER CO.

For instance, if 25 churches give $500 each monthly, it means $125.00, and 25 churches give $3.00 each monthly it means $75.00, and 75 churches give $200 each monthly, it means $150.00. This would give the Convention $350.00 to meet her regular monthly obligations a nd money to apply on National Convention requirements. Will you Brother Pastor and Officers give this your hearty support? The Pastor, as God's Keyman, please read this letter to the Church and ad them forth in this much needed and butiness-like plan for our Convention. This plan was presented to the Ministers at the last Board Meetings and the amount for each of the Churches of $6,700.00 was suggested and accepted. The amount for your Church is in the following list. Please let us know the manner in which you will meet the request. We play it will be the monthly regular plan. Please send something, beginning this month. Please pray for our work as the Missionary Pastors must care on and the educational work must not be neglected. We are the Lord's and the work is His command. He will make possible if we only trust Him. This adopted at our State Convention in session at Topeka, Oct. 4-9, 1927. With much prayer and supplication we are very respectfully. W. A. BOWREN, D. D. Pres. A. W. ROSS, Executive Sec'y, and Supt. of Missiones. Who will be first to enlist as a Monthly Regular?
