FORT VALLEY BOY PLACES IN NATIONAL MEET FORT VALLEY, June 14-James Collins, champion spinner of the Ft Valley High and Industrial School placed second in both the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes in the Academy Division of Coach A. A. Stagg's 25th Annual National Interscholastic Track and Field Games held on Stagg Field, University of Chicago the semis and the finals, the day with the temperature close to 90 and Collins ran away with his heats in both events. Saturday for WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, June 21, 1929 SEEK FUNDS FOR OVERSEAS WORK The Rocky Mountain Regional Committee of Near East Relief, recently held an important meeting in the Hotel Muehlebach at Kansas City, Missouri. Dr. William E. Loughty of New York, national field administrator, addressed the meeting and reported on the progress being made in the effort to secure funds to complete the overseas work of the Near East Relief, outlining plans for the remaining months of field campaigning, which is to culminate June 30. It was agreed that the Kansas committee, like siml'ar committees in other states, in order to conserve the assets of money and goodwill of the Near East Relief, would retain its identity and lend its active co-operation for the next two years to facilitate the collection of pledges and the consummation of other business having to do with, completing the work. The date when active campaigning is to cease, June 30 of this year, was fixed by vote of the executive committee of the Organization cast at the annual meeting in January in New York, but the business of collecting pledges and the carrying on of the work overseas make it imperative that these committees continue until, the Congressional charter is surrendered and all the Near East organization released. In expression of our appreciation of the work of the committee, Miss Tallquist, Regional Director, at the meeting stated that since its inception thirteen years ago Near East Relief has received contributions of $117,000,000 from the entire country, of which up to June 1, with one month still to go, Kansas has given $1,284,552.82. The Kansas quota for the final Underwriting Campaign amounts to $49,000 according to Miss Tallquist, of which $22,355.77 has been raised. This leaves a balance of $26,644.23 to be raised in Kansas, either in cash or pledges, before the 1st of July this year. For this reason increased activity on the part of all organization's committees and friends was emphasized by Miss Tallquist. Mr. Doughty said that in the past year American people had been most generous in providing funds that had saved the lives of 1,500,000 people and had supported and trained 132,000 children, but he said there must be no flagging of interest in the work until the overseas work was finished. It was the unanimous opinion of those present at this meeting that Kansas would do her part in fulfilling the State's obligations and that the committee would make every effort to see that sufficient cash was raised or pledges given, and collected to make a hundred percent record in the completion of its share in the job. All contributions sent before July 1st, should be sent to Near East Regional Office, 701 Scarritt Building Kansas City, Missouri. After July 1st, to Near East Relief, 151 Fifth Avenue, New York City, New York. the semis and and the finals, the temperature dropped to 15 degrees above freezing with a cold drizzling rain. The "Georgia Flash" froze up badly, his natural stride and sternina placing him second in the finals of both events in slower time than he had won the heats the day before. Collins has repeatedly run the century in even time and twice this year has been clocked in 9 4.5 seconds. Coach Stagg of Chi-ao was as the finish line during the trial heats and picked Collins to lead the field. The sudden change in weather with the extreme cold brought out an old "Charley horse" and Collins ran the finals of both the century and the furlong with a game and painful leg. His many rooters were pulling for him all over the country and feel confident that with warm weather he would have romped to victory. Collins has been coached and trained by Dr. F. S. Horn, old track star of the College of the city of New York.

Service at 8.00 At 11 o'clock, the Pastor took for a subject "Look On Us;" Acts 3:4, which we enjoyed. At 8 o'clock, he chose for subject, "The New Birth;" John 3:3-7; "Ye Must Be Born Agajn." It was a great message. The Pentecostal Church had their Children's day program Sunday; a Five Cents Per Cop> "ROBBERY" SAYS PICKENS OF JIM CROW ON SOUTHERN RAILROAD NEW YORK, June 15-Colored people are systematically robbed by the refusal of railroads in the South to provide equal accommodation for colored passengers as required by law, according to Williams Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who has just returned from a speaking tour in Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and other southern States. "in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, there are no Pullman accommodations to be had for Negroes," said Mr. Pickens. "When I traveled from Muskogee, in Oklahoma, to St. Louis, I had to sit up until 3 a.m, the time we reached the Missouri line, before I could get into my berth. Another colored man of prominence that I know of, had to buy two railroad tickets and a stateroom in order to get pullman accommodations from Dallas, Texas, North. "This is of course unlawful and, in fact, plain robbery." However, my recent trip in the South convinces me that there is more respect for Negroes, even in the most unfavorable spots, than ever before. Tehy are not so convinced that the Negro is incapable, although the whites seem just as determined to hold the Negro down. But in some cities colored business men, owners of property, and having extensive business interests, are no longer afraid to speak out and endorse the work of the N. A. A. C. P. "Still, distressing cases came to my attention. For example, in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, a colored worker in an ice cream factory was badly beaten by his white fellow employees, because he declined to address them as "Sir." In Gonzales, Texas, a white man who through his own carelessness had collided with the automobile driven by a colored man, was about the shoot the Negro driver over damages to his fender which was later repaired at a cost of $1.00. The shooting was prevented only by the calmness of another Negro, light enough in color to pass as white, who said he had seen the accident and blamed it on the white man." large attendance witnessed same. It was a splendid program. The surprise party for Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, on last Friday night, was a grand affair. Many present. We are looking forward to a great day, Sunday June 23. When in Garden City, visit the 2nd Baptist Church. Mrs. Mable Clure will entertain the Mission this week at the church. oe The Negro Star—for the Good of the People —eeeeas=qqqnn eee ees EE ES ROREORECEI OBOE MACMICOIN MEBCROCMEC BX Improved Uniform tntemationl |B.

TROL, Micah 6:8; 1 Peter 2:11:20. Compelt self mastery is the great- est achievement; it requires the best within us as It fs best for us. When we use all there is of us to make the moat of us Jesus takes charge and perfects us. The Lord requires love, mercy, Justice and humility, and abstalning from sin which destroys the life and soul. Our conversation is to be clean, instructive and inspiring and our work should show the touch of the the Master's hand, Christians should be taw-ablding, because, back of all law for ruman uphft and protection, stands God. He is making war on sin and Sgnor- ance, and giving freedom through self control. “Honor all men.” ‘We should al- ways go up to meet s man.’ We are to sustain the right attitude toward one, notwithstanding what he has shown us. THOUGHTS Suffering for right is the road to glory and suffering for wrong ia the road to correction. Self control ia the essence of Christian Education. Know thyself, deny thyself, and cortrol thyself. ! Independence Notes MAPLE STREET BAPT. CHURCH REV. CHAS. TEAL.

The lst river is name Pison, which compas. seth the whole land of Havilsh, where there is gold; the gold of that land is good, Thero is Bdel- lium and onyx stone, and now the Lord God saw man’s pitiful and Yonesome condition and had pity on him, knowing that everything thet He had made was for man's benefit, and God said: It is not good that man should be alone, I will make him a hely meet: after man had given names to all animals and creeping things of the arth, He found there was not a help- meet for man, God caused a deep sleep to fall up man and as man slezt, God took one of his ribs and closed up the ftesh inatead, and from the rib of man, made He ‘woman and brought her unto man Office Phone D.1641 Rea: M, 7322-W PRACTICE IN ALL COURTS Ambrose P.

NOTICE!! NOTICE! To the General Brotherhood of the Western Baptist Convention, GREETINGS:— DEAR BRETHREN: I do hereby set myself to the pleasant duty of bringing before you the task of our Convention. Twenty-six years ago the brethren met in a call meeting in Philadelphia, while attending the session of the National Baptist Convention and re-dedicated themselves to the great task of the West, to promote a program of Education and Evangelism. The eminent Dr. Geo. McNeal was in this meeting. The late Dr. J. F. Thomas of Chicago, precluded over this meeting. As a result of this meeting, the Western Baptist Convention was reorganized and set out to reclaim the west for Christ. Our Convention is older in history than our National Body, but was disbanded when the National Lapit Convention was organized. It was clearly seen later that our Convention was a necessity to operate in the West and would aid our National body instead of hindering its progress. Hence, our Convention was reorganized and for the 26 years has been co-operating with our National body. We have for our objective, the promotion of the Western College, the recent Central Baptist Theological Seminary and a general program for Education, Mission and Education. In our recent session at Topeka, Kansas, we set for our goal, $1200 to be raised for Education and to be turned over next year in St. Louis, Missouri at the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Dr. S. A. Mosley, Pastor, at our annual session.. An appeal is made to our young men to unite their forces and shade every privilege offered by our Convention. Our transportation committee shall enjoy the same generous courtesies and privileges going to and from the National Baptist Convention like unto all other Transportation Committees. A campaign of education and publicity was ordered by our Convention to be carried on thru this office to properly set our Convention before our Western constituency. The word has been passed on that now after 26 years of progress our Convention is no longer a necessity in the Western territory because it might casue rivalry in our National body. Let nobody deceive you, this institution is an asset to our work in the West. Let us be men and breathe the air of freedom. Let us reclaim the West for Christ. Yours for a great 1930 St. Louis Session. Please mail me a list of all the Pastors in your State. Sunday School every Sunday morning; Supt.

The economic condition of our group throughout the country is of such nature as to give thoughtful leaders great alarm. The preachers of all denominations should unite in the interdenominational alliance for consideration of steps and plans in the grave outlook caused by these serious conditions among Negroes. The Negro must learn to work as a unit some definite aim. In coming years the preachers will be regarded as the most selfish, heartless and inconsiderate set that ever lived, unless we take more interest in the walling and sorrow of our people who struggle below for something to eat and to wear. Many of the great reforms of the ages have been brought about by the unselfish labors of the preachers but in several cases they have had to first turn and berate the time serving bread and butter brigate whose god was their belly and their backs. This is convention season; many associations and all the state conventions have schools which they are obligated to support. Also our Foreign Mission work, the debt on Foreign Mission Work, the debt on our Publishing House and our Home Mission Work must be looked after. Our leaders cannot afford to be careless about these matters. When the money is sent up by the churches those who have the handling of it should be scrupulously honest in their dealings with the Lord's money, that these great causes may not suffer.

HE WHO aims to help others, gets results of his labor with usury. A REAL MAN would prefer death to being a live jelly-fish. THE FELLOWSHIP and accommodations gained by co-operation, cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. It is a fair sign of Christianity, because, Christians desire to be t-gether and assist one another. THE POWER to co-operate is a lost art in the average Negro; he can be worked with, if he is the recipiency of all the benefits. His only desire is that number one, is taken care of, if people suffer by the thousands. THE STATE S. S. & B. Y. P. U. Conventions were decided success from many points: More than 100 young people were inspired; nearly $1000 were raised and a greater will for service was established.
