book on the race problem in the
deep South by James Saxon Child
ers, published by Farrar and Rine-
hart. Carl GARNER, author of
"Stars Fell On Alabama, says in

James Saxon Childers has written
honestly the tragedy that grew out
Of the friendship Of a Southern
white man and a Southern black
man, both educated, sensitive, con-
genial fellows, in the city Of Bir-
mingham. In this story he has
given more detailed analysis of the
inconsistence and cruelty irration-
al practices which characterize the
bigoted Southern whites attitude
toward the Negro than has any
other writer"
