THE COAST GUARDS AIMS AND RECORD

It Is too bad that 49 members of the Coast Guard stationed at New London are experiencing the vigor of a court martial trial on charges that they were involved in a drink ing episode after they had captured rum ships But the Coast Guard is an arm of the national forces and discipline must be rigorous. Seizing rum ships is part Of it's dutes but due care must be exercised as to what is done with the liquor. The incident at New London received nationwide publicity and the guardsmen involv- ed will be taught by an indignan. headquarters that such things can not be allowed. It is a hard life.
 But let no one think the Coast Guard is devoting all it's time to chasing rum runners" True, for every Coast Guard boat off the coast of New England there are two rum boats. according to the admission Of Coast Guard officials. But keeping is only part, and quite a small part. of the Coast Guard activities. Coast Guard officials would welcome re- lief from this onerous task, which would allow concentration upon tasks more in keeping with those the Coast Guard originally was formed to perform.

Staunton, 23.Roanoke, 8

The Booker High School basket
ball team ran roungh shod over Adj
dasion High, of Roanoke, here on
Monday night, at the Palace Audi
torium. Smarting under the defeat
that Huntington High handed them
on Friday, the team seemingly took
revenge on the magic City" team.
From the beginning until Ira (Devil)
Becks, the referee, blew the final
whistle the Staunton team was su-
preme. The second team was put in
by Coach Brent in the last quarter
and the "Yearlings" were just too
bad, as they continued the scoring.
You may ask who starred, well every
body on the Staunton team starred.
Roanoke showed the weakest defense
that Roanoke team has ever shown
in the history of athletic relations
between the two schools.

HON. JOSEPH c. MANNING
CRITICALLY ILL

New York City, Feb. 3.-Joseph

State representative of Alabama, Re-
publican postmaster of Alexandria
City, Ala, under Mckinley and
Roosevelt, and lone exponent of JUS
tice and equality amonf all citizens
in the South, who for the past thir-
ty years has been relentless fighter
against peonage, disfranchisement
and black belt frauds, whose mes
sages attracted national significance
throughout the white press North
and South, and whose vitriolic
speeches forced him to flee to the
North, khere he continued to expose
the South for its injustice to our
group and made him a man without
a home, now lies critically i'll of can
Ger of the throat. Though his voice
is silent, he still painfully attempts
to write.
Not since the days of Lincoln has
a white man come out Of the South
land imbued with the truth, justice
and fair play for our group, had the
courage of mis- conviction, and dared
to speak through press and pulpit of
the actual conditions existing south
of Mason and Dixon as has J. G..
Manning.
Today he is on his deathbed, sf-
ter nearly forty years battle, real
izing his physical condition, and
having sacrificed fortune, wife and
family of six children and great
future, ostracized and hated by the
South, all because he dared to fight
for the principles enunciated by Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, Lincoln, John
Brown, Grant, Wendell Phillips, and
Roosevelt.
Every citizen of color who has
an ounce of gratitude should write
Mr.. Manning. With fortune gone,
health impaired and now in need OF
financial aid, he is resigned to his
fate. Let not US be further charged
with ingratitude to our benefactors.
A man who has lost wife and chill
dren for common principle of JUS
tice and equality for black folks de-
serves to die believing that his work
was not in vain, and those for whom
he fought for appreciated his efforts.
Write him, j. C. Manning, SIG Man
