Dear Sir:
Permit me to thank you for your
eminently logical and timely editorial
in this weeks issue of your paper, in
which you plead the cause of the col
ored lawyer and ask that he be given
a greater share of the races business,
which he deserves.
1t is the common comment that the
colored lawyer hasn't any standing in
the courts, etc, and that white lawyers
have the favor Of the courts and there
fore can best serve the interest Of our
people. All Of which is bunk and but
the expression of that psychology
which the white man has created in
the minds oil our people in the south.
and which clfngs to them even in their
new environment.
Lawyers are not made in law schools.
Only the fundamental principles of law
are acquired there. Their ability and
efficiency as lawyers depend upon OPP
portunty for development, which can
only come through confidence and the
handling of legal business in the
courts.
The race will never have prominent
and efficient lawyers If our people give
all their business to white lawyers.
Nearly every Negro business and
church has its legal business looked
after by white lawyers, notwithstand-
ing they are supported and maintained
ny inc rue w htil Jul ptOpif
are without funds they go to a colored
lawyer and show him a deep point
wherein he should give them service
upon a promise to pay when they get
the money. but when they have money
they taxi to the biggest white lawyer
in town and pay many times more than
the service is worth. That's the whole
story.
Your editorial is timely because the
Cook County Bar Association is about
to launch a campaign with view of
corresting these conditions and bring
ing the colored lawyer into his own.
Very truly yours,

Chas. A. Clark, preached an old
fashioned sermon which stirred the
house as never before since his advent
to the city. Previous to this meet
ing, although a number of spiritual
sermons had been delivered by him,
it was the conditions which obtained
that caused the pastor to place par
ticular stress upon sermons dealing
with modern econmic and similar in
terests. The success in entering his
dew edifiee and consequently the ac-
cruing larger membership. has re-
lieved him to an extent that he fell
back into the old habit of turning on
the whole gospel pure and untainted.
The result was a greater spiritual
demonstration than ever before wit
messed in EberneZer. Crowds are
even filling the entrances each Sun
day The great choral organization is
an added feature which has served
to draw a religious and discriminat-
ing public.

COLUMBUS IN
LEAD IN OIL
PROSPECTING

The preliminary work for starting
actual drilling on Well No. 2, "The
Billups' is progressing as fast as the
weather permits. The recent heavy
rains will cause few days delay, but
the management of the Anderson
Drilling Co., is meeting all obstacles
with dispatch and cheerfulness. The
exact date for the starting of the
drilling and the public celebration of
this event will be announced in our
next issue. We hope Columbus and
vicinity will turn out en- masse and
make real holiday of it. The COM
mittee in charge, appointed by the
Chamber Of Commerce, will undoubt-
edly provide for some entertainment
to make it day of jollification. The
outstanding feature, of course, will be
the starting of Well No. 2, which will
give Columbus the unique distinction
of being the only community to go at
the Oil development in systematic
and business like manner, not depend
ing en- a single test.
The officers of the Anderson Drill
ing Company, who have spent the en-
tire week here in getting everything
in the best shape possible, expressed
themselves as well satisfied with the
progress made and are more optimis-
tic than ever about the outcome of
their work. And that is how every
onc of us should feel until the day Of
decision which, we hope is not far off
and will be day Of rejoicing.

SENTIMENT GROWS
FOR EXTRA SESSION
But Interference With Suits Is Not
Wanted.

Jackson, Miss, April 14.-There
seems to be strong undercurrent of
sentiment setting IN, favorable to an
extra session of the Legislature on an
agreed programme that will insure an
adjustment Of the rating question but
under no circumstances to interfere
with the pending antitrust litigation.
If the session is called at all it will
be upon some such plan as this.
That the Mississippi laws affecting
insurance rating are behind the other
states of the Union seems to be GER
tain. Commissioner Henry of the in
surance department is engaged upon
an analysis Of the laws of every state
in the Union covering insurance rat
ing. 1t is his purpose TO print this
analysis when completed and to place
a copy of it in the hands of every
member of the Legislature before the
next session convenes whether it be
called or not.
