Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol. 22, No. 12, "DELIGHTED" Through the double grass doors of the white House, past the expressionless Negro footmen, into the ultimate social sanctum of the land, three passed one afternoon last week, a slended, middled-aged invaded guest wearing an afternoon dress of capri blue chiffon, a grey coat trimmed in moleskin, a small grey hat, moonlight grey hose, snakeskin slippers. She was well pleased to be there; to be greeted by the First Lady; to see Mrs. Good, the Secretary of War's wife, pouring the tea, and Mrs. Attorney-General Mitchell conversing positively. Also present were a Mrs. Bacon, a Mrs. Kelly, a Mrs. Free, whose husbands are U. S. Representatives from New York, Pennsylvania and California, respectively, and many another lady of Washington's officialdom. The guest in the blue chiffon gown with moonnlight hose and snakeskin slippers was glad to meet them all because she felt that she belonged among hem. She was Mrs. Oscar De Priest, the wife of a new U. S.' representative from Illinois. Mrs. De Priest's husband is the first Negro to sit in Congress since 1900. She was the first U. S. member of their race to be entertained in the White House proper since Oct. 16, 1901, when President Roosevelt had the late Booker T. Washington at his luncheon table. After that occasion there was such a socio-political commotion that President Roosevelt thought it best to explain that Booker T. Washington had called while the President was just finishing his lunch and had been invited into the dining room "to save time." No such aftermath followed Mrs. De Priest's visit. In fact, almost before Washington started buzzing this time, George Akerson, the President's Secretary, issued a statement saving: "All the wives and families of all members of the Senate and House have been invited to call at the White House for a series of teas given by Mrs. Hoover. No names whatsoever have been omitted." Negro Congressman De Priest was thoroughly pleased. Said he: "I am delighted beyond measure at the fine social contacts my wife was able to make at the White House.....Sho greatly enbved herself and is greatly delighted." By no means every one in Washington was delighted, however, and though the Akerson statement closed the matter so far as the Hoovers were concerned, it did not silence the capital's buzzings, which contained a deep political undertone. Senator Caraway of Arkansas had a newstory of the affair read into the Congressional Record, refraining carefully, save for a characteristic wrinkling of his nose, from any comment. But South Carolina's Senator Bease blurted: "Didn't I warn my audiences in the South in the last DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UPPER & LOWER SOUTH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UPPER & LOWER SOUTH NEW YORK, June 14—Returned to New York from a speaking tour and the organization of Branches in southern states, Robert W. Bagnall Director of Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today stressed the difference in temper and atmosphere he found existing between the upper and the lower South. "in the upper South," said Mr. Bagdall, "colored people talk of their rights and the work of the N. A. A. G. P., as a matter of course, without fear. That is true in North Carolina, in Tennessee and in upper Georgia in most towns and cities. But in the lower South, Negroes in many cases are afraid of expressing anything that even looks like an assertion of their rights. "A process is under way that looked to me very much like terrorization on the part of white authorities to keep Negroes down. One exception is in southern Georgia, long a bad section, where Negroes are now bolder and atosacities have become less owing to the depopulation of that section by the northward migration of colored workers. "Alabama and Mississippi are still the most timorous states. Birmingham remains the worst part of Alabama despite the 100,000 Negro residents of the city. The wealthier Negroes feel the necessity of standing in with the whites and the averse to anything that might be interpreted as a demand for their rights." CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank the many friends for their kindness during the sickness and death of my son, and our brother, (Osborne Glvens). Also for the many Floral offerings, cards of sympathy and the many friends that furnished cars. BLANCHIE GIVENS, (Mother) Sisters and other relatives. NEGRO RETAILORS CO-OPERATE Recently in Montgomery, Alabama, a small group of grocers, hard pressed by chain store competition, decided to do their buying collectively and to advertise as a group. They formed the Colored Merchants Association. Their stores are now known as the C. M. A. Stores, and their joint advertising appears regularly in Montgomery newspapers. Orders are pooled and buying is done through the office of the association for each store in the membership. This movement, born of necessity and developed in harmony with modern business' practice, has already meant more profit, larger volume of business, improvement in appearance and service of the C. M. A. Stores, and through its success has stimulated the Negro merchants of the city. An outgrowth of this venture in modern methods was the campaign for better Negro business held April 15th to May 5th in Winston-Salem, N.C., conducted by the National Negro Business League and its Winston-Salem local, together with the recently formed Colored Merchants Association of Winston-Salem. The program of this campaign included the organization of the local Negro grocers into a co-operative buying association. A central feature was the set-up of a modern grocery store. The store of James A. Ellington was selected for remodeling under plans and specifications thoroughly up-to-date, and as a demonstration in store renovation and arrangement, and in showing the public what could be expected of C. M. A. Stores this practical aspect of the campaign was most important. The model store opened on Saturday morning. By night its shelves were entirely cleared of goods. Under the impetus of this success others of the twenty-two charrier members of the Winston-Salem C. M. A. Stores are planning to remodel their premises. Through lectures, the older school boys and girls, the housewives, the business men were reached; and the public addresses of Dr. R. R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League and of Dr. Gorton James of the U. S. Department of Commerce, attracted with attention. Thus the buying public was made ready to take advantage of whatever of values and service the C. M. A. Stores might offer. On the other hand, the talks to the grocers themselves on store management, merchandise display, advertising, co-operative buying and record-keeping, coupled with the demonstration store so balanced the campaign that resulting stimulation of business means more temporary gain. That the results of this concrete work, planned and directed by Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, will have far-reaching consequences there can be no doubt. It is a movement which bids fair to put courage, better business methods, and prosperity within the reach of Negro retailers through out the South, offering at the same time courtesy, fresh goods, clean stores, and attractive prices to patrons of Negro business. Southern Workman for June CAMP "THE CALL OF THE WILD" Get out of doors, the air is clean. The woods will teach you nothin mean. If splendid manhood you'd know. Get out where you have a chance to grow. "Expose a boy to the contagion of camp and he will catch the spirit of unselfishness which is the hope and salvation of manhood." First of all a sunny day To make the days seem worth the while, A pal for you and a pal for me To while away the days to be. A pair of overalls, a shirt or two So you can run and jump and never feel blue. A pair of shoes with a patch or two And stockings patched and darned to A blanket to roll up in on cool nights And watch the stars in their glim mer so bright. To be beautiful and calm without fear is the ideal of nature. There are no more lasting and and helpful friendships than those that are made in camp and in oper field. The Call Of The Out Of Doors It's great to get away from the heat, noise and dust of the city and live in a real bay's camp where you can swim, row, play games, assis with entertainments, gather around camp fire, cheer and sing and listen to the stories while the flame shoot into the night, and the moon-beam dance on the rippling water.

FRIDAY, June 28, 1929 $30000 DONATED TO TALLADEGA $1000 PLEDGED TO TALLADEGA BY TWO NEGROES. The campaign to raise $500,000 in order to meet the conditional gift of $500,000, made by the General Educational Board to Talladega College, is going on more vigorously than ever before. It is gratifying to note that colored people, in general, are taking such wide interest in the work. Only recently Mr. John L. Webb, Supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of Union, with home offices at Hot Springs, Arkansas, after visiting the college and observing the work done there, subscribed $1,000 on the five-year program and expressed his desire to pledge more. Mrs. Lillie Annie Jones Johnson, a graduate of Talladega College, in the class of 1886, also pledged $1,000. She was present during commencement services. Mrs. Johnson is a very prominent business woman of Nashville, Tenn. Colored people have already subscribed and paid in part, more than $4,300. Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago, made a gift, without any conditions, of $30,000, bringing the total amount subscribed and partly paid in from all sources, nearly $220,000. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Inter-Church Camp, to be conducted again this year by the Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., will be held at Camp Hyde, July 1-6 inclusive. Each of the ten churches will send one boy; his expenses being shared by the church and Y. M. C. A. Several boys will go from the boys' clubs of the Y. M. C. A., and some boys, independent of both church and "Y." will be sent by their parents. W. L. Hutcherson will be in charge, assisted by G. B. Winston, associate secretary of the Water St., Branch Y. M. C. A. While several reservations have been made, there is room for a few more boys. Those interested, please call Water Street "Y." and sleep the whole night through, breathing the pure, sweet scented air from the fields and stream. Oh Boy! It's a great life, and we invite you to be with us in Camp Hyde, July 1-6. Put me in touch with the heart of the Boy. Let me study his doubts and fears, Let me try to snow him the way of life And help him avoid its tears. For the heart or the Boy, in its bouyancy, Is one that is pure and fine; So put me in touch with the heart of the Boy, The heart of the Man-to-Be.

Fuller of Marshall, Texas, is the only Negro in the history of that school who has had the distinction of representing it at the college graduation exercises. Mr. Fuller entered the Massachusetts institution in 1928, having obtained his A. B. degree from Wiley College, Marshall, Texas, and the degrees of B. S., A. M. and Ed M., from Boston University. According to Professor Clarence R. Skinner of the Department of Applied Christianity, Tufts College of Religion, and a noted Boston liberal, all of Mr. Fuller's grades in the religious school have been A and A-indicating, it is pointed out, unusual scholastic ability. Other professors and instructors who praise the young man's competence, as a student and scholar are Norman B. Nash of the Episcopal Theological School of Cambridge, Mass, where Mr. Fuller studied Christian Social Ethics for two years; Leo S. McColleater dean of the Crane Theological School at Tufts, and Frank Oliver Hall, D. D., of the Department of Homilians. Mr. Fuller's graduating address, entitled "The Need of Emotion in the Liberal Church," tended to show that to be successful, religion must do two things, namely, "Direct the mind by sure and clear statements of enduring truths," and to "Meet heart hunger, which can be done only thru the emotions."—Clipping. sacced the roostrum and chose his text Acts 9:3-5; Subject, "Unprofitable servings"; and delivered a burning message.

NEW YORK, June 21—"Rope and Faggot," written by Walter White, is to be used for reading in graduate and un.agrduate courses on race relations by Professor Donald R. Young of the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, at the University of Pennsylvania, it was announced today. ProfessorYoung says of the book: "I think it would be most valuable for any university teacher on that subject. It is a stirring presentation of facts which have too long been neglected." CITIZENS WISH TO HAVE THE PRESIDENT SPEAK Mound Bayou, is the Negro town in Mississippi, which our last report showed they were tearing down the jail because the people had learned self-government and the jail had not been used for more than two years.

He said there shall be a time when His kingdom shall come upon earth and a little child play upon the hole of the asp and the lion and lamb shall lie down together and a little child shall lead them. The Master was wise. He knew that if this kingdom of love must reign on the earth, the youth must lead. Youth's heart throbs with earnestness and unselfishness. Direct that earnestness and unselfishness in proper channels and it spells peace and tranquility. The youth's life must develop thro' and take its cause thro' well defined channels, just as the water course in a great river. The news that comes from Estes Park Student Conference as reported by W. L. Hutcherson, one of the leaders there, is, that youth is leading in religion, and interracial goodwill. His words are these: "The youth who has had his course of life directed through contact in Y. M. & Y. W. C. A. Conferences and Camp, is thinking in terms far in advance of the ministers, Y. M. & Y. W. C. A. secretaries and laymen. He is willing to go the whole round with his Master Jesus Christ in bringing His Kingdom upon earth by the abolition of race prejudice and tolerance toward those of different opinions and religion."—G. B. WINSTON. MUD AND DUST MUST GO (Industrial News, current) Twenty-five years ago in this country a good road was the exception, rather than the rule. Now we have the greatest highway system in the world. The growth in use of the automobile was responsible for this development. Money spent for improved roads is returned in social and industrial benefits. Highways are the foundation of community progress. Now a new phase of highway expansion is appearing, the building of secondary or feeder roads. Roads are being extended into rural districts as never before since methods have been devised for using asphalts and road ails to give waterproof hard surface at a minimum of expense. EXTRAVAGANCE "American taxpayers are having to carry too heavy a load," says the Corpus Christi, Texas, Caller, "There are too many 'public servants' on the pay rolls. From the multiplied bureaus at Washington down through the various state captolts to the smallest city ward or county ball-wick there are too many salaried positions in proportion to the service rendered. The overlapping of county and municipal governments has produced needless duplication, and it seems that at every meeting of the state or national lawmaking bodies new offices or salaried commissions are created. "Bond issues have made possible extensive improvements in public buildings and public roads, but at the same time there has been much money wasted. "There is so much waste and extravagance in government we sometimes wonder that taxpayers continue to endure the system. Good business judgment should prompt business men, high and low, to combine their efforts to check the growing tax burden; for after all, taxation is a burden upon business and business expansion."
