Morris, of Helena, who has served in that position for twenty-two years He told the negroes not to get discour- aged on account of race prejudice, as it would mold them into stronger men and women. ''It is prejudice" " he said, (which gives employment to every negro preacher, teacher, doctor and lawyer, and has built all the negro churches and schools, started every negro store, hotel, res taurant, every bank and insurance company; in fact, every enterprise owned and operated by negroes is the result of the American color line. Stay in the race and build it up, is my advice to my people. The negroes should give less attention to politics and more attention to busi- ness and getting homes." The fol- lowing officers were elected: Dr. E.. c. Morris, president; J. P. Robin son, recording secretary; J. W. McCrary, of Fordyce, corre- spending secretary; w. A.

 This department is now making systematic and definite plans for advancing our educational work and for pressing these urgent needs before the people of the state, and in doing this your full and hearty cooperation is earnestly sought.

To Protect Levees.

The government is doing some good work to prevent levees caving in in Phillips and other river coun- ties. The earth which is used in making the levee is, as a general thing, taken from the river side of the levee, which, of course, leaves a large basin. When the river re- cedes after a rise, this basis is left full of water, which has a tendency to soften and cave the levee. The government officials hope to prevent this by inserting drain pipes from the basins to the river to drain off this stagnated water.
