Mary Bethune Describes Florida Storm;
Says Indians Had Preternatwal Warning

Negro physicians and two nurses
were provided to administer to them.
This is hard blow for the East
Coast. Two years ago they had the
great storm at Mannheim the boom
bubble bursted with fearful results
seven banks in West Palm Beach
were forced to close-and now this
great storm. They need, THEY
NEED prayers, financial support
assistance in every possible way.
These homeless people not only need
food and clothing, but their little
homes, representing years of toll
and sacrifice, must be, rebuilt. They
had no storm insurance-they have
no money-nothing is left to them.
An interesting feature of the dis
tressing situation is the safety.
through some preternatural warning,
of the Indians of the Everglades.
Many days before the storm they
went through the Everglades saying

glades dsregarded the warning-in-
deed they thought nothing of the
prophecy-had they done so, they
would have been saved as were the
Indians. They went into Palm Beach,
and all are safe.

Paying the Price

"See man jealous in his own
business and he will stand before
kings.v
There is too much talk about short
cuts to success. There are none.
Success depends upon hard work and
sacrifice. You can not have the cake
and the penny too. If you want the
one you must give up the other.
There is no way to possess both at
the same time. Life, generally, is
give and take proposition, quid
pro quo.
Many people would like to occupy
the position of the other fellow. But
they do not desire to pay the price
the other fellow paid. In school
they take short cuts. They are men,
tally lazy. Getting by, and not get
ting something is their chief ambi-
ton. In later years they opine their
hard luck.
All through history one can find
examples of success based upon
work. The converse is equally as
true. II is just as well for Negroes
to learn that they must pay the price.
Eventually we must face facts, why
not now? In trying to hoodwink the
public we make fools of ourselves. 1
Settle the question once and for all
as to what the goal is worth and be-
gin to pay.
The athlete must give up certain
forms of recreation if he hopes to
be the champion. The student must

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.-(Spe-
cial)-The lower east coast of Flori-
da lies Frustrated. Delray, Pleasant
City, Palm Beach, West Palm Beach,
Canal Point, Billglade, Panoke, all
have been seriously struck. Never
before in my life have | witnessed
such suffering, and so many home
less people.
The coast has been raked and
scraped from Pompano to Stuart.
The storm was the most violent ever
known in that section. In it's rage,
IL brought all persons down to COM
mon level of mutual help. Negroes
and whites alike are sharing in the
losses of homes, friends, property,
and indeed life. Little has beer left
of the homes and business places of
the Negroes in West Palm Beach.
School houses have been destroyed,
every church, save one. in the entire
city. is demolished. All of the pub
lie buildings are destroyed. The
cries for home and shelter penetrate
to ones very soul.
Canteens and dispensaries have
been opened up for immediate relief
and Negroes together are receiving
aid from the Red Cross, which is
rendering every assistance possible.
Our big job has been in the or
ganization of effective leadership
among the Negro group and the
securing of executive nurses and So
cial workers to labor hand in hand
with the other group, in order that
the needs of the thousands of suffer-
ing be met. The suffering among
the people is piteous. Mothers sep
arated from their children-women
in childbirth being crudely wrapped
in mattresses or blankets and carried
from place to place for safety.
Very few lives were lost in Palm
Beach and the surrounding cities,
but oh, the distress among the poor
people in the everglades. They were
drowned by the hundreds. Great
trucks-heaped high with dead bodies
white and black men and women
and children. being buried without
being identified--many of them hav-
ing no one left to identify them.
Steam shovels we're used in the
colored and white cemeteries to dig
the trenches in which this great
mass of stricken humanity was laid
to rest.
One Man Saves is.
Many poor souls swan through |
the rising waters, or walked 20, rs
and 30 miles--seeking shelter. One
brave Negro man, N. w. Sanders,
saved the lives of 10 persons at
Bellglade--most of them being white |
women. In the saving of these lives,
he became so exhausted that when
he took his wife and child and tried |
to make it with them, his strength |
left, and his child was lost. The
child was rescued by another and !
when the brave man was receiving |
aid in the canteen. the little one was
brought in with another group. The |
tears of JOY streaming down his
cheeks were pitiful to see.
Alligator Attacks Mother.
A mother tried to swim across the |
rushing waters her baby in one
arm and fighting currents with the
other. An alligator took off one
arm, and she was left thus to save
herself and her child. A rescuer
came and they were saved.

keen interest in the last election in
Sioux county, was the subject Of a
prospective court fight today.
Charles Pulling OF Selfridge has
filed q suit in the district court
charging irregularities in the vote on
the county seat question. He alleges
that non-residents of the county were
permitted to vote and that some per-
sons voted who were not even citi-
zens. He wants all Of these votes
thrown out.
If this Is done, he contends, the
result will show that Selfridge re-
ceived the two-thirds majority nee
essarX to move the county seat from
here to Selfridge. The returns by
the county canvassing board showed
that Fort Yates received 704 votes
while Selfridge received 1,102.
Defendants in the action are Sioux

This condition has been particularly

that It's momentum may be trusted to
