PACE prejudice is ancient and
deep seated.
1t goes far beyond the day
when the woman of Saniaria re-
marked TO Jesus that The Jews
have no dealings with the Samari-
tans." 1t goes eve beyond the
much earlier time when differ
ences in speech We're made a
means of revealing differences in
race, and in the slaughter follow
ing conflict the one group put to
death all who had trouble with
their sibilants and said "Sib-
boleth' when they were asked to
say "Shibboleth."
The story of that ancient test
is very striking, for it reveals the
Interesting confession that the
men of these warning groups were
so essentially alike that when the
yanquished claimed to be friends
rather than foes this artificial test
had to be devised to make clear
the racial difference.
Differences Are Slight
1t would help nightly in our
i%nterracial conflicts of today if we
could come to realize the ele-
ments of common life. Our ca
pacities for joys and pleasures,
for pains and sorrows, are very
much the same. Our very differ
enees, even when they are most
glazing. are often differences in
the stage of development and evo-
luton, or differences that are cas-
lily traceable to different environ
ments.
Here in America we are in the
midst of an experiment of a ma
ture. and on a scale. to which
nothing in history can be COM
pared. There have. of course,
been other cosmopolitan lands.
and cosmopolitan cities have been
many. The homeland of the Bible
was a great meeting place of ma
tions and races. The very list of
those who were spoken OF as be-
ing present at the Day of Pente-
is suggestive, and in all the
thriving commercial centers OF
the age Of the Bible there was the
eonglomerate mingling of races.
But the most striking challenge
to the elemental theory of democ-
facy has been in the drawing of
the color line-a matter which
was at least a factor in the plung-
Ing of the country in civil war,
and which continues both north
and south to supply one of Ameri-
cas- most difficult problems.

While great progress in the
conquest of prejudice has been
made in the south, the most acute
manifestations of the problem
have been transferred to the
north where prejudices are apt to
be raw and brutal, entirely unre-
lieved by a kindly tolerance that
was present in the hearts of the
better type of southern white
people even though they most de-
terminedly drew the color line in
social life and politics.
New Attitude Is Needed
The social aspects of these diff
ferences of race and the problems
that they create cannot. of course,
be dealt with in the limited
space of these comments. 1t is
probably no help toward the So
luton of these problems to ignore
the real factors of difficulty that
+ confronted in all adjustments.
1t is doubtful whether there is
much value in raying about social
injustice and i%nterracial preju-
dice.
He who would be a true citizen
and he who would be a thorough
going Christian, meet on very
much the same plane, when it
comes to a matter of their
thought of their fellow men and
their treatment of those who diff
fer from them racially or other
wise.

FOrds Victorious In
Attendance Race Of
Brotherhood Class

Sunday, July %, was the closing date
in the Ford and Chevrolet attendance
contest sponsored by the Brotherhood
Bible Glass, and a record that has been
acclaimed as the highest ever known in
Lexington and Holmes county resulted,
which is also believed to be the largest
ever made in this section of the state
Over 400 members were present but the
totals given were placed at 370 as scores
arrived too late to be counted in the reg
lstratlon. These finals also resulted in
tie of 1856 each, according to an Of
ficial check of the registration as made
by the attending members This sum-
mary also awards the victory to the
Fords who have won out by small ma
jority of 33, nevertheless is winning
number for the spirited contest Just
closed.
The class was too large to be accom-
modated at the regular quarters of the
organization, and transfer had to be
made early in the first minutes after
convening, to the main auditorium of
the church, where the continued arrival
OF members again proved too much for
the seating capacity and chairs had to
supplement- the available areas, even
then leaving many standing who were
unable to find places.
This contest that had its beginning
three months ago, divided the class into
two sections, namely Fords and Chevro-
lets, captaned by J. F. Williams and J.
K. Williams respectively. New mem
bers were the objects of these two lead
ers and survey of the city and sur
rounding territory was begun. Soon
this led to an extension of operations
until soon the attendance reached to
all parts of the county. AS the contest
progressed, the spirited rivalry extend
ed until hundreds were at work bring
ing in members to the class meeting.
The race was evenly matched at all
times, and when one side would show a
slight gain or margin, the following
Sunday would witness a reversal of the

Holmes Oil Survey
Attracts Attention
Major Oil Companies

That Holmes county is to receive an
extensive oil development seems assured
by the intensive preliminary geological
and geophysical campaigns that are now
being carried on in the county. Much
of this work is being done by some of
the major companies and the scale up
on which the Investigations are being
carried out seems an assurance that in
teresting conditions are being encount-
cred, it is learned upon investigation.
In the Southwest section of the county
in the territory lying south of Howard,
word comes of a seismographical survey
of large magnitude being carried on by
major company. Natives of this sec
tion state that the reports of the gigan-
tic charges of dynamite used in the
work can be heard daily and the sight
of the instruments become daily sight.
This work has been going on for the
past 80 days and oil men who are famil-
lar with conditions under which this
system is operated, state that the length
of time put in on the Investigation is
assurance. that interesting conditions
have been found.
This operation among others is at
tracing attention of the oil industry to
Holmes county and numerous scouts of
the different oil companies are in and
out of the county daily, following the
inspections, state many.
News dispatches over the state give
81 companies operating in Mississippi at
the present time and that there are 1873
wells in operation in AZ counties of the
state, which has cost S10,90O.0O.
Mississippi has received the attention
and is being talked about at present by
oil producers and oil journals, as we'll
as government reports, more than any
other state in the union, and seems to
convince that oil is to be found in Mis-
sissippi, state oil men.

1lgures. The outcome was in doubt un-
til the closing hours of the contest and
each side has awaited the finals with
keen anticipation.
Final figures now reveal that the
fords have 33 majority on their side and
will be declared the winners next Sun
day morning, August 4. At this date
the time and place Of the banquet will
be announced for the winners of the at
tendance contest. The nature of the
entertainment will be made also and
it is planned to make it an affair that
is worthy of the victory earned.
The Brotherhood Bible Glass has a
normal enrolment of $50 members and
it is believed the outcome of the attend
ance recently will greatly increase this
weekly registration. DR.. H. L. Martin,
pastor the Baptist church, is the
ieaderFafd the main object in formation
OF the, class was to bring together those
who were not attending any Sunday
school whatever and who desired to
study the Bible in brotherhood en-
vlronment. The purpose has been
crowned with success from the BEGIN
nlng, and continues to grow with each
meeting.
The contest just closed has proven
that the finest spirit exists in the class
and that the same earnest effort pre-
walls upon the part of all members. In
referring to the two splendid captains.
j. r. Williams, and J. R. Williams. all
members were enthusiastic in their
praise for their leaders. They waged a
hard fought battle and are deserving of
every award they made for the organ
lzatlon. One side had to lose and this
time 1T proved to be the Chevrolets, but
the fords are well aware of the fact
that they have been in a race. Congrat-
ulatlons are in order for both, so give
them credit.
