at these schools gives ample evidence
Of the commendable ability Of this
young man.
DR.. Turner has done his work well.
This fact is testified to by DR.. Walter
S. Cornell, director Of the medical in

The success of DR.. Moss at Concord
Is all the more remarkable from the
fact that he Is pastoring a church

RACE CONFERENCE AND
CORN EXPOSITION JAN. II.
Columbia Is. c. Citizens Plan Big
Gathering at State Capital.

The citizens OF Columbia, S. c., are
making ample preparation for the en-
tertainment Of delegates and visitors
to the South Carolina race conference
TO be held in Columbia in connection
with the corn exposition from Jan. q
to Feb. 8, 1918, Inclusive. The confer.
ence was organized six years ago for
the purpose Of discussing the various
problems affecting the welfare OF the
race in the state in particular and the
country at large.
The literary program will devote q
day to methods Of work among chill
dren and one day to each Of the fol.
lowing subjects and interests-viZ, the
Humane society, education, business,
religion and general conditions among
the colored people throughout the
state. Some Of the prominent men In
vited to speak are the Rev. DR.. Charles
7. Walker Of Augusta. Ca; DR.. Francis
Romley Of Boston, Mrs. c. ]. Walker
Of indianapolis, Ind; Rev E. Granville
Sutton and DR.. billiard, chairman OF
the Anna Jeanes fund
The corn exposition will no doubt at
tract many prominent business men
and heads Of the different agricultural
schools to Columbia Therefore the
promoters Of the race conference think
this an oPportune time to hold the an
nual meeting Of the organization. The
Rev. Richapd Carroll. the prime mover
In so many movements OF the kind In
the state Is optimistic in his predIc-
tons for the success OF the conference
along all lines Of its work.
Every meeting Of the organization
since its beginning I'm 1906 has been
successful, says the Rev. Mr.. Carroll.

NATIONAL LEAGUE SEEKS
TO UPLlFT THE PEOPLE.
Opens Housing Bureau In Heart Of
ThieIeIy Settled District.

The National League on Urban Con-
ditions Among Colored People has re-
Gently established at IL West One Hun
dred and Thirty fifth street, New York,
a housing bureau, which is destined to
perform a much needed mission in this
district. The main purpose Of this bu-
reau is to furnish to the public list Of
respectable apartment houses in which
tenants may be assured Of dignifed
and refined associations
This movement is a result Of the
clamoring Of the better classes Of col
ored people for a clearer Sine OF demar-
cation between the respectable and the
disreputable, for so uncertain are the
tenants Of the houses in which the lat
ter class moves that it has been stated
over and over again by responsible
residents Of this district that such pro-
vision as the league is now making Is
absolutely necessary.
The plan OF the housing bureau is
simple. Lists Of houses which real
estate agents desire to have approved
are furnished by these agents to the
bureau. which after inspection and in
terviews with responsible individuals
residing in these houses are formally
certified TO. Complaints are received
from persons who are annoyed, and
when only one or two families in q
house are known TO be responsible for
such undue annoyance with the Co
operation OF the agent and owner. these
individuals are summarily dispossessed
It is apparent that only through the
creation of clear moral consciousness
and an advanced community spirit can
such an effort prove efficacious. Pub
lie opinion. coupled with the support Of
real estate agents and owners, viii cas-
lily bring about the desired change
One agent has testified to the fact that
in the past it was lack Of moral cour-
age which made it impossible for him
to get rid Of objectionable families.
An owner OF large amount Of prop
erty in this district has said that the
cause Of higher rents and indiscrimi-
nate mixing lies at the door Of the ten
ants themselves.
