Kentucky G. 0. P. Names
Negro Delegate-at-Large.


Louisville, KY, Jan. 22.-Every
Republican who has a public ak
to grind or is fearful lest the ak
which some one else is grinding
will fall on his neck in casting his
eyes toward Frankfort.
The impelling motive is that the
legislature conyenes Tuesday at
noon.
A. T. Hert, of Louisville, will
have no opposition for reelection
as National Committeeman in the
Republican State Convention early
this spring. He undoubtedly will
be one of the four delegates from
the state at large to Chicago.
Another with equal certainty
will be Governor Edwin P. Nor
row and the present plans of the
party leaders is to include a wonl-
an and Negro to round out the
quartet, thus advancing all ele-
ments in the party representation.
The woman probably will be
Mrs. John G.. South, of Frankfort,
relative of Governor Morrow. She
has been placed n charge OF the
campaign for women votes in the
South in the presidential election.
The Negro who is tipped as a
delegate from the state at large
is Phil Brown of Hopkinsville, who
occupies a berth in the Congress
sional Library in Washington.
The time and place of the state
convention will be fixed January
ii, when the Republican state
Central Committee meets in Louis
vile.

is David Glueck, one of the largest
real estate operators in the city,
who is particularly interested in
the progress of our people and
many here refer to him as sec

seems certains the opportunity
which he has offered some of the
leaders of the race is taken adj

equally as great philanthropist
because he is opening the door of
opportunity in the business world
and offering us a chance to en-

Mr.. Glueck is head of the David
Glueck Realty Company, 1904

divisions of lots for building pur-
poses, as well as great deal of
improved property with flats and
houses of various kinds on it.
Much of his money has been made
from homes sold to our people and
he is said to feel II only just that
he do what he can to advance our
cause. He therefore, is arranging
to dispose of one half of his COM
pany with its great holdings to
race men. They will comprise the
entire board of Directors and gov
ern the affairs Of the company and
will utilize this opportunity to pro-
vide attractive homes for the
thousands of our people who are
going to Gary everyday. Mr..
Glueck will continue his interest

GARY, NEW MECCA FOR
NEGRO.
fAssooIated Nero Pressl


Gary. Ind, Jan. 22,-The re-
cent Steel Strike which centered
around the great steel mills OF
Gary has proven blessing in dis
guise for those OF the race who
live here as well as those in
other sections or the country who
have been looking for a place to
establish homes whore they might
find cordial welcome, plenty OF
employment with an opportunity to
enjoy the fruits Of their labor and
the pursuit of happiness in their
own way.
Our men played quite a part in
the Steel Strike. Great numbers
Of them are employed in the
plants, but very few are. Union
men. so in most cases they re-
NAMED loyal to their employers.
Many others found work at high
wages during the labor troubles
and were retained after its settle
ment. The greater part of the la
boring forces of Gary are made
up Of foreigners and both before
and since the Strike. they have
been leaving Gary in great num-
bers Of their homes in Europe.
This has created an unusual de-
mand for laborers, both skilled and
unskilled, and as the strike gave
members Of the race an opportuni-
ty to obtain positions which they
had never before held, but in
which they more than made good,
the Steel officials are said to look
with particular favor upon Colored
employees and are seeking as many
as can be secured The efficiency
which their present workers are
showing has dismissed the "buga-
boo" which we used to hear SO
much about, "that Colored workers
are not capable Of making steel"
Gary is the wonder city Of
America. Just trifle over ten
years ago. II was only great
stretch Of sand at the foot OF the
Great Lakes. The Steel interests
decided to locate there. its mann
moth plants and almost overnight,
as 1t were, modern. up-to-date
city sprang into being, twenty
seven miles south OF Chicago, and
forty-dve minute-ride from State
Street. The majority of the in
habitants OF Gary, besides the pro-
fessional and business men are EN-
ployees OF the Steel plants, roll
ing mills and other manufacturing
plants which are eargerly seeking
locations in this great industrial
center through which pasRes every
east bound railroad running out
OF Chicago and which has one OF
the greatest natural harbors in
the world.
One hundred thousand people
now live in Gary. Twelve thousand
OF them being members OF the
race, large number owning their
own homes and because OF the
good wages paid in the mills, (said
to run from $5.16 10 $4,000 per

u. s. Influence Felt
In Latin America

Rio de Jaheiro, March 29.-(By
mail. THE Influence of North Amer
lea on South America is steadily be-
coming more evident, even in the
Mardi Gras OF Rio de- Janelro
Among the throngs of mlsqueraders
during the 1920 carnival season were
many "Carltos," as Charlie Chaplin
IS called Portuguese.
There were scores of cowboys
with -brimmed hats, scartrdge
belt and bandanna handkerchief in
true imitation or the movie hero OF
The American wild and woolly west.
Slim vampires abounded, with pen
ciled eyebrows and low-cut gowns.
The Immigrants to Brazil from
Portugal, Spain, Italy and France
the four GreIt carnival countries Of
Europe-iaave 'rought their carnival
traditions and customs to South
America. In years past the color or
Lisbon, of Madrid, of Genoa and of
Nice has mingled in the Rio de Ja-
metro holiday season. Now the spir-
1t OF New York. Chicago and Frisco
is tumbling into this blend.

PettigreU Acted
Wisely in Taking
Payne Out in 9th

Chickasha fans are still talking
about Lefty Wilson being sent in
TO finish the game in the tenth at
University park Sunday with the
score tied and wiz Payne plainly
having the Indians number through
the ninth inning, Some OF the fans
are inclined to take Pettigrew t.
task for pulling pitcher WHO had
the other crew on his hip and send
ing in new man under such try
ing circumstances.
From the standpoint of the fans,
they We're probably right, but look.
ing at the proposition from the
standpoint of baseball, Pettigrew
was right There was no assurance
that the game would be wound up
in the tenth The game then might
have run for several additional in
nings before the tie was broken
Payne wanted to go back in the
tenth, but it would have been doing
him an injustice to let him stay in
there. Nine innings is ordinarily too
long for pitcher to go in pre-
season game.
The reason he was pulled was to
save his arm tlat he might pitch
ball for Chickasha after the
season opens He is young and a
y or 10 inning game this early in
the year might ruin his arm entirely.
SO hand it to Pettigrew for doing
what he thought was right for the
benefit of Payne's future in base
ball.

in whose lives The camp with an Of it's
rich tradition and sentiment, has been
something more than a mere gather

trooping up the memories Of all Of
the great meetings Of the past, power
full sermons BY the master prelates
of the old days, great soul-stirring

Many Of the old campers love to
reminiss, and let their minds wander
back down the vista of the years and
live over again the good old days. The
new camp is the source of comfort
to them for now they see their fond

On arrival at the grounds the first
thing that impressed us was the
presence of so many Columbians.

IN 1885, ln 1851 the grounds were
burned the first time, and rebuilt in
1878, The last disaterous fire swept
the camp property IN 1916 and it was
rebuilt this year. The stone also
bears the names Of the building COM
mittee, Messrs. W. D. Russell, Glenn
Henry and N, W. Lawrence,
To the faithful and devoted and
loyal service, and progressive and en-
terprising spirit Of these men is due
principally the credit for the rebuild
ing Of the camp this year. They have
worked indefatiguably for the success
of the enterprise, and their efforts
have been crowned with splendid sue
cess. They put their time and energy
and money in the camp and the neigh
borhood is indebted to them.
Eleven new tents stand in the big
circle around the arbor, and spaces
are left for many more. There were
forty in the old camp. In two or three
years fully this number will be erected
again. The following have camps this
year: Mrs. Celeste Eubanks, Mrs.

A more hospitable people never live

Inaele neighborhood They make every
one feel at home, and the most bounti-
full dinner that has ever been served
in this whole country featured the
Sunday program. Mere words fail in
describing the good things they had
to eat.
The remark Of a little girl illustra-
ties the generous hospitality Of the
people. She was from Columbus, was
spending Sunday at the camp and af-
ter she had been there few hours

money all the week to spend out here
today, and l can't spend a cent"
For the promotion of naborliness,
good feeling and better understanding
among a people the custom of camp
meeting is a splendid medium. There
people meet in the spirit of fellow
ship and fraternity, and the spirit of
the Brotherhood Of Man and the
Fatherhood of God is promoted and
sustained.
May the fine custom be continued
on down through the years and con-
tinue to be the fine influence that it
has been in the yesteryears.

TABERNACLE
By y B lines.

We spent Sunday at Tabernacle
Ont there in the hills Of Alabama.
among the most hospitable people in
the world; a people Of generous i'm
pulses, and in the ozone Of the pines,
life is worth living. That is the first
impression one gets Of the place.
The annual camp meeting is in pro-
greas and Sunday more than thous-
and people gathered there from all
the countryside and from Columbus
and nearby towns, The camp grounds
had the appearance of a small city,
with its new buildings, rejecting the
fine progressive spirit Of the people
and the prosperity of the community.
For four years the fine custom of
camp meeting had been stayed on ac-
count Of disastrous fire in 1916
which swept everything before it.
Even the fine shade trees that beauti-
fled the grounds were killed by the
scorching flames Of the forest fire.
During the dark days of the war
period when all Of the thought and
action Of every section Of the country
was bent on bringing victory to Amer
lean arms; when every home was rep
resented at the front there was little
disposition to rebuild the camp. But,

soon began to assert itself and q

people Of the Tabernacle community.
and compares favorably with many
town and city churches.
Then, this season, the matter Of re-
viving the camp proper was brought
up and with concerted action and a
splendid spirit Of cooperation the
fondest dreams and hopes Of the peo-
pie to whom old custom of camp meet
ing was sacred, have been realized. It
was heritage that had been handed
down for generations, and the peo-
pie were determined that it should be
revived and brought to life again.
Fine success has crowned their ef-
forts. A handsome new arbor seating
500 people has been erected. 1t is
quite an architectural feat without
single post or support inside to OBJ
struct the view of the audience.
Nice, comfortable seats are provid-
cd, a generous use of sawdust fur
nishing the proverbial "sawdust trail"
for the mourners, The choir has place

ones as well, is feature of the relig-
ious services.
A marble corner stone was placed-in
at one corner of the arbor. 1t was
donated by Mr.. T. A. McGahey of

MORE RELIGION IN
SUNDAY SCHOOLS

That is the Great Need Prof.
Armstrong Tells Pres
byterian Audience.

Prof. Robert A. Armstrong, Of West
Virginia University, delivered an ap-
peal for greater interest in the Sun
day school at the morning service at
the Presbyterian church yesterday.
He pleaded for religious instruction
in the Sunday scnool on as firm bas-
Is instruction in other lines in the
public schools. He said too many
teachers hurry through the lesson and
allow the pupils to engage in general
conversation the rest Of the time.
In the near future Prof Armstrong
hopes to have the Sunday school take
up at least three hours each Sunday,
and have a teaching system ike the
public institutions.
Showing how some people grow up
with little knowledge Of the Bible, ne
told of young college man, VINO re-
marked one day after church that ne
had learned something new. ms
young fellow is reported to have said:
II always thought the Epistles were
the wives Of the Apostles, but l
