EFFORT TO HURT NASH
VILE BUSINESS HOUSE
FAILS.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 1O.-(SpeciaD
False rumors and false reports with
regard to one of the largest Negro
Institutions in the United States have
njurlng said Institution. This was
not detected until this week when a
number Of letters were sent here to
DR. r. II. Boyd, the secretary and
founder of the National Baptist Pub
fishing Board. owned and controlled
by Negroes. One of the rumors set
afloat was to the effect that the
plant had been closed and was not
able to produce literature. Another ru-
NOR was that DR.. Boyd had become
mentally deranged and still another
that the Plant had gone into liqui-
dation.
Memembers of the Board were seen
this week and they explained that all
this had been circulated merely be-
cause of certain UNCONVENTIONAL diff
ferences. An investigation reveals the
fact that the Plant, which is located
here at the corner of Second Avenue
creased business each year Of it's eX-
istence and even the last report that
was read before the National Baptist
Convention at New Orleans, La, by
hour and a half before more than
three thousand interested hearers,
showed that an increase of more than
ten thousand dollars in business with
q ClrculatlOn increase OF over one
hundred thousand in literature had
been made for the year just closed.
DIR. Boyd was given a big ovation.
When he was seen this week about
the false reports he declared that he
had never attempted to run down
false reports. "A lie travels faster
than the truth They say this is
due to the fact that once the truth
and the lie went swimming, the lie
came out first and stole truths clothes
and ever since that time the truth
has gone around naked, so we call
II "the naked truth" A lie is always
dressed up and travels fast; truth Is
modest and never pushes itself On
people.
DR.. Boyd was feeling his best. and
declared that he National Baptist
Publishing Board, the property of the
Baptists OF the United States, would
continue to function, and that the
Baptists of the United States, would
continue to function, and that the
Baptists were not going to be deceiv-
ed over these rumors.

SOUTH CRITICIZES HAR-
DING SPEECH ONLY MILDLY.

The White House is being deluged
with expressions of opinion for and
against the Presidents address in Bir-
mingham on the race question in the
United States.
The President is well pleased with
the effect of his speech and its re-
ception by some of the most promi-
nent business and political men in
the South. In talking with newspaper
correspondents who accompanied him
on the trip. the President indicated
that while he did not believe the South
is ready for any immediate action on
the race problem as he outlined 1t,
he does believe 1t will be effective
and will work practical and ultimate
good. The President regard the speech
as not only well worth while, but
believes 1t was his duty to make 1t
and to give his convictions and what
ever contribution 1t may be to a
settlement of the question.
President Harding holds the view
that it is not fair to the South figur-
atively to pat the Southern people
with which they have to deal. He
has an earnest conviction that the
South has been surfeited with this.
1t is a peculiar analogy that most
of the favorable comment on the
speech is coming from the South and
a large share of the unfavorable COM
ment from the North. Radicals on
both sides of the issue are displeased.
Leaders in the Republican party
are not a unit upon the subject. There
are many who believe the race issue
and Republican votes in the South
should be left alone. They are of the
school which does not believe that
dangerous things should be stirred up.
The President Is determined, however.
to meet the issue for the good OF the
South. which he told audiences in
several Southern States was the good
of the nation.
A summary of the general reflex
of the speech shows 1t was better. re-
ceived in Dixie than many Republican
politicians believed would be the case.
Prominent citizens in every commun-
ity visited by the President after the
Birmingham speech was delivered took
occasion to tell the President that
they stood with him and pledged their
aid to a practical settlement of the
problem
