AND BITS
BY JOE SIMPSON
A BONE FOR TO
CHEW ON

DR.. j. S. Allen, a well known
physician of Chester S. c., has
been made operating physician
in the new addition recently
made to the Pryor Memorial
hospital of that place. The adj
dition was added through the
interest of DR.. R. E. Abel, a
white man, in order that DR..
Allen might be better able to
serve the people of his race.
Both doctors are we'll known to
this writer, he having once lived
in the famous Grossly house.
at 125 Mcclure St., there, and
who underwent a minor opera
ton at the Pryor hospital which
is situated on Saluda Street, at
the age of eighteen. This town
has a population of about $4,000
people while Richmond has a
population of near 100000, a
city operated hospital for Neg
roes, yet not one Negro doctor
is allowed to practice there.

RICHMOND?
AUTO HAZARDS OR AIR
A SAFETY?
If automobile fatalities con-
tinue to occur at the pace that
has been set in the past few
weeks in the streets and on the
highways in and around Rich
mond, those people operating
the air transport lines can
truthfully say that the AIR
PLANE is SAFER than the
AUTOMOBILE.
SIMPLE JUSTICE"
A ALL
That dastardly practice in
dulged in by Richmond POLICE
OFFICERS, of calling colored
people "NIGGERS" in open
Court, or in the street for that
matter, in our opinion is in very
bad taste. Police officers should
remember that when a man is
brought before the BAR OF
JUSTICE, the MAN individual
ly is on trial, and not his origin
or the color of his skin. White
prisoners are addressed as MIR.
Jones, or Mr.. Smith. If the Off
GERS do not wish to apply the
title "Mr." when addressing a
Negro, he could very easily say
THIS MAN." or THIS WON
AN" The a~ppellation H
NIGER" when applied to a
Negro prisoner not only violates
the RIGHTS of the prisoner at
the bar, it is a GROSS INSULT
to any other law abiding Negro
who may have occasion to be in
the courtroom. We believe that
we have a FAIR and IMPAIR
IIAL Judge on the bench in the
Police court in this city, it is
therefore reasonable for us to
believe that he will put an END
to this practice when his atten-
ton is called to it. We feel that
a police officer should be fined
for a misdemeanor when it can
be proved in court that he APP
piled a vile name to a prisoner
in the discharge of his duty.

Hopeful Signs

Tho racpnt movement among the cergymen, led on by an
official Of the Union Theological Seminary at Richmond is destined
TO do more than all the substitutes of the past ana present. lhs
.onlv criticism the writer has to make is that it is not oroaa
enough numerically. Every minister-white and back-ot every de-
nomination in this city should assemble together and talk things
over on the race question. 1t is well enough 10 sena . ~. mo1on
from Alabama to talk about things at large, but we here at home
know many things of which DR.. Motion has never heard. The same
is true in every locality.

That Saint Paul Meeting

1udt Sh"b
Tho recent meeting at the Saint Paul Episcopal church ought
to be an example for the white clergy in more than one way; me
writer knows little or nothing about the rector OF st. Paul chufcn'
hut he ventures to say that such a meeting as the one at winch
DR.. Motion spoke would not have been held IN such a manner II II
had not met the approval of the rector. The communicates OF ST;
paul church did not object, because they reverence the voice anu
wishes of their rector. Other congregations would do the same
things should their pulpit desire it. The nature of the Saint Paul
meeting was this:
/. It's purpose was rather for Negro than white welfare.
2. Negroes were seated in the main auditorium-across the
aisles from the white people and not showed up into some obscure
corner in the gallery.
3. Negro man stood in the pulpit Of Saint Paul-not down
on the foorin the basement.
d. The Sabbath Glee Club-colored men-rendered music.
The rector of st. Paul and the parishenors of that church
preached more gospel by the way it seated Negroes on that night
than has been preached by any white southern church IN a long
time. If the church of which Mr.. Jefferson Davis was a member
can do this much, what excuse has any other white church for
doing less? Richmond-"down where the South beins," ought to
lead the way in bringing about a more like righteous treatment of
the Negro. The white ministry occupies the Strategic point. The
Negro ministry has been and is now ready to cooperate. The
people both white and black will hear their priests and pastors as
they will hear no other voice. The ministry is Gods committee on
adjustment of all u%nrighteous matters-through preaching the
gospel and practical application.

|N|CARAGUAN CANAL.
KILLS PACIFIC PORT.
Sallna Cruz, Mexico, Gives
Up Hope That Prosper
ity Will Return.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SALINA CRUZ, Oaxaca, Mexico. De-
cember 8.-Long- cherished dreams that
this Pacif1s port might revive to its
position OF 20 years ago have died, now
that the Nicaraguan Canal appears a
certainty of the future.
And so buzzards lazily wheel over a
once proud harbor, whose entrance Is
so choked with sand that one may
walk dryshod across 1t; rust eats port
machinery once valued at $4,000, 900; !;
hoods wash down the Sierras into the
streets and the weekly train ambles in
and out Of town-and nobody cares.
Salipa Cruz died Is years ago when
the nrst ship sailed through the Pana-
ma Canal, for it was transoceanic
shipping on which the prosperity of
the place depended. Hopes for its
revival were based upon the fact that
the volume of shipping was becoming
too great for the Panama waterway,
thus creating a prospect that cargoes
might again have to cross from the
Atlantic to the Pacific by land.
Last Lose Hope.
But the American Army SURVEYS of
Nicaragua show the feasibility of an
other canal. and word from the United
States indicates the probability of a
start on its construction within a few
years. So those who have struggled
along here, living on hope, have packed
their scant belongings and boarded the
weekly train.
Time was when 48 long freight trains
pulled into and out of Salina Cruz
daily. The railroad yards and docks
were beehives of industry, great ships
stood out in the roads awaiting their
turn at the docks, the town hustled
night and day and money was free
and easy.
But when the Panama Canal opened
and 1t no longer was necessary to trans
ship cargoes, Salina Cruz became a
way point overnight. Rail service
dwindled rapidly to two trains daily,
then to one biweekly and now passen-
ger trains creep in only once every
seven days, crawling along over rusty
rails that barely cling to a roadbed In
which no one takes any interest.
Oil Saves East Coast City.
Puerto Mexico, 143 miles away on the
East Coast, escaped the fate OF Salina
Cruz because oil was discovered on the
eastern side of the Isthmus of Te-
huantepec. But nothing comparable to
the magic of "black gold" happened to
keep Salina Cruz awake.
The old route was ideal from trans
portation standpoint so long as trans
shipments were necessary between the
oceans. The line ran LAB miles over
Mills no higher than 800 feet above sea
level. The first survey was made by
American engineers as long ago as the
Civil War and the road was built a
decade later.
In the heyday Of the port It was pos
sible to unload ship, get the cargo on
trains and reload again at Puerto Mex
leo on the Atlantic in AZ hours. But
most of the sturdy laborers who accom-
plished such tasks have drifted back
into the hills, where tropical nature sup
plies them with living at less cost to
muscles.
