CAMPAIGN BEGINS
FOR NEGRO COLLEGE
President ]. III. Eason De-
livers Striking Address
APPEALS TO PRIDE
FONTS Out How Colored Race Can
Win Admiration and Respect
By Its Work for
Education

Interest in the Birmingham Baptist col
lege is increasing among the people of
Birmingham and vicinity. Recently the
large crowds that attended the joint pic
MICS of the Sixth Avenue Baptist church
ohlloh Baptist church and ST. James Bap-
fist church, heard with interest the strong
address of DR.. j. H. Eason, president
elect of Birmingham Baptist college,
which address opened the campaign for
5000 which will be vigorously waged for
the next three months. In his address
DR. Eason spoke, in part as follows:
Mr. President, Fellow Laborers, Greet
ings:
We are here for the first engagement
In struggle to raise $4,000 for education
and the Birmingham Baptist college
mere is nothing of greater Importance
IN this world than education, unless it is
the Christ life in the soul of men, i'm
planted by the Holy Spirit.
Education goes to insure human hap
ptness. The lack of it is a condition of
misery and unrest and woe among the
sons of men. In effect it is an har-
monious development of the faculties and
the soul that affects all the five senses
OF a human being. A man hears Sees
feels, smells and even tastes best when
he is educated to the fullest degree
Nothing is more unjust to a soul than
to hinder and thwart the full unfolding
OF Its powers. l have read of the Chi
nese binding the foot to prevent its fuiz
and natural development in their young
| have heard of people becoming dwarfs
by not allowing the body enough exer-
cise or by getting improper and insult
fieient exercise. All of this is bad, but it
is not as bad as 1t is to dwarf, shrivle
and wrinkle up the soul and mind of
men.
This is serious thought. but it is
not easy to get men to consider it Sc
riously. Just as a man neglects the sal
walton of his soul. so men are careless
about education and often criminally neg
lect 1t, in themselves and in others, AS
sinners in REVEALS become worked up
for their souls salvation, It is hoped
that, what is being said here today may
stir US to wake up to the seriousness
of our condition and to exert ourselves
for the education Of our people
For many years to come the negro
must depend upon himself for his edu-
cation. I know that this statement, in
view Of the poverty and ignorance of
our race. is very discouraging and de-
batable. I would be glad If 1t turned
out to be incorrect. but I fear it will

The Tragedy Of Service

Herpert Corey In Harper's Magazine
Tho seventy thousand who went to
Macedonia last summer were grim and
angry men. Life had not lost its attrac-
ton TOR them. but death had become so
commonplace that its terror had de-
parted. Their first fight was on Kay
makchalan. when they took a mountain
so trimmed around with trenches and SO
dotted with guns that when one walks
over the field today it seems impossible
that It could ever have been taken. The
Serbs drove the Bulgars up the slope of
Kaymakchaian until they came to the
rim-rock that guards it's top. and there
the battle hung for days. At last the
Bulgarians wave way and fled wildly to
the valley of the Cerna which cleaned
below.
When the Servian army was sent into
the valley for rest In February of 1917,
after having been almost continually
on the defensive since August of 1916,
there were but Is, 400. according to the
official figures furnished me- OF the TO-
900 men who began the campaign. These
were to be recruited against the opening
Of the spring campaign by the sick and
wounded men and by the men who were
too old and the boys who were too
young, who had been gathered at Bier
ia, Tunis. 1t was to be the last effort of
Servia- No one knows how many valid
men are in the enemy concentration
camps, or how many have been held in
Servia to till fields for their enemies
use. So far as we know. the manhood
OF Servia has been destroyed. Those who
remain to carry on the race are those
who are still too young for war.
'Servia Is finished" her men say.
"Our people have been killed But we
have taken the price,"
Yet there is still an army In Servia.

CASH DEALING Is GAINING GROUND IN
PRICE AS ELSEWHERE.

Merchants in a few small towns have coec-
lively gone on a cash basis. The idea is spread
ing. Long credits mean loss. which is made up
by those who pay cash. The mail order houses
trust nobody. They demand cash-and get it.
Merchants can do the same thing and thus be
on an even footing with their mail order COM
petitors in this respect. Not only do mail order
houses get cash. but they do not deliver-cus-
toners must pay freight and carriage from the
receiving stations.
AS a consequence, some wise merchants in
some towns have adopted the same system.
They do not deliver goods, but expect customers
to hire a drayman Or carry the goods home
themselves. A low price results. II is a system
that can beat the mail order prices. Merchants
in Price are in favor of the cash basis system.
They probably are not as unit in favor Of the
non-delivery system.
Conditions locally may be different from those
in places where the non-delivery system has
been adopted. Conditions nowhere, however,
differ as regards the credit system. IL is over
done wherever in force The merchant too often
holds the SACK as many merchants woefully
can testify.
As a rule, however, deadbeats in Price aud
other towns where the credit system survives,
have harder time nowadays than ever before
Merchants have awakened TO the situation and
are putting down the lid tightly. Persons with
good credit get credit. Others don't. This is
as IL should bg.
There Is no reason why unnecessary crediting
should be encouraged when the dangers of non
payment are ever present. The business world
Is gradually drawing close TO a cash basis sys-
tem and the time Is not far distant when cred
iting will be the exception rather than the rule
in retail trade.
