METHODIST TALKS
ON RACE PROBLEMS
(By Associated Press)

Lake Junalaska, N. c.. August
1O-The next big forward step
in the solution of the race ques-
ton will come from the South,
the Rev. w. w. Alexander of
Atlanta, secretary of the Com
mission on Inter-Racial Coopera-
ton, predicted here today at the
! Laymen's Conference Of the.
Methodist Episcopal Church.
South. -
Il say this with absolutely due
regard for the friendship of the
negro in other sections and with
the fullest and unstinted graft
tude for all they have done in
philanthropy and education in the
church and state" Rev. AleXan-
: der said" Nevertheless, the next
big step in the inter-racial read
justment is to come from the
Souths and the reason for this is
perfectly apparent.
THE South can afford to do it..
and what is great deal better.
there is growing conviction
here based on a sense of justice
and fair play for all men. Then.
TOO. the South has social prestige
to- do this. The social question
figures largely in the race ques-
ton. SO the South can when it
will. take the leadership in inter
national cooperation.
81 believe the South will as
sumo this leadership. with the
4 same sort of pride and determi-
lnation as it led the nation in the
overthrow of the rum traffic.
at has been the universal
.jopinion of those who have come
in close contact with the ques-
ton that negro leaders do not
desire or seek social equality
They have asked for police pro-
lection. better housing, better
sanitary and living conditions
lbctter educational facilities. and
a chance to develop into useful
4 American citizens with every de
7 termination to maintain Their
own social life and the purity Of
: the two racial stocks.
THE Eeasonableness and intel
lligence of negro leaders greatly
encouraged the white men who
have come in contact with them
THE fact that Southern white
: men and women have manifested
their interest in negro welfare
has gone far to allay the unres'
and pessimism which was rapidly
spreading through great section:
of the negro leadership in Amer
ica"

JUNIORS AVERSE ID BOND ELECTION
Want New 100000 Market Proposition Put Off for
 Soldier Vote

Opposition to the holding of an election for the issuance of $3oo,Ooo of bonds for city market or mar kets on October 10. the day set by the city commission, comes from the Junior Chamber of Commerce,
 The leading objections are the 6is- qualification of the soldier vote, the fact that 8 commission election is about to be held, and the chamber thinks the responsibility of what is to be done during the new adm ais traitor should be borne by the next commission.
 The indefiniteness of the proposi- ton as to location and number of markets, and finally, the financial status of the city should be copsid cred.
 The chambers committee on pub lie finance consists of Paul Angel, chairman; J. L.. Cooper, D. B. Light ner, W. NJ. Rigers and NJ. H. Sterne.
