The Eastern Star held ceremonies of initiation Monday night for Mrs. John J. Coulter. A social hour fol- lowed adjournment of chapter dur ing which delicious refreshments were served by Mrs. Leo Osterman, Miss Sue Smith and Miss Edna Sin clair.
 The table was centered by three May Pole groups, each mounted on an eighteen-inch square base cover ed with cellophane grass. Colored ribbons extended from the May Pole to the tiny figures which had been cleverly fashioned by the hostesses from marshmallows with the aid of pipe cleaners, tooth picks and cloves. The little girls were gaily attired in fluffy crepe paper dresses and hairbows. Their partners wore plain marshmallow suits decorated only with clove buttons, but their little painted faces were as gay and happy as were the girls.

that our black boys and girls get
what is honestly due them our
schools. The public has often
wondered what the superinten-
dent of schools and the board
mebers see in a man so out of
members with progress. The ques
ton all intelligent Negroes of
the county are asking: Why do
the Negro Democratic leaders
put up with him?
In all seriounesss these men
who are in power need to get
spirit of unity. Factions are
the result of subtle propaganda,
reacting ON the minds of the
unframed element of our people.
These factions are elutching at
each others Threats not only in
this county but throughout the
state and nation, every endea-
vor that the Negro is engaged in
AS Negroes we should be mind
full. When we are united we are
strong, but when we are divided
by strife we are weak victims
whom our enemies can Easily
break and crush. AS Negroes
in politics we must learn to put
aside petty issues and think in
term of the advancement of the
Negro of the county. The purge
seems to be in keeping at this
time, you Democratic leaders
owe it to the black folk of the
county to get rid Of any element
that is not ready to serve the in
terests of our folks. You should
stress the fundamental fact
we are members of one r a C e
rather than separate functions
and organizations.

Resolved to ruin or to ruin
the state" So states one of our
wise men, or was it Dryden ?
This seems to adequately des-
cribe the situation among we
black folk in the country. The
Negroes that have stepped to
/ the other side of the political
picture are in a factional strug-
gle. Last Sunday a group head
ed by E. B. Slaughter, of Key
stone, backed by our Negro
Superintendent of Schools met
to form an official Negro Demo
cratic organization. This group
formed largely of school teach
ers, who had received promotions
and lucrative positions from the
head of the school system. A
number of grievances were
pointed out by the head of the
school system, them ost Of
which were built around the
head man of the school set-up.

led by the hustling DR.. Murray
and DR.. Craighead of Kimball,

wonder if the Revered has pulled
something over these smart
boys? The parson is at his best
in dissention. At any rate he has
his fingers on those boys that
have got something from the
lie counter.
While l am member of the
other party and perhaps l do
not know the ms and outs of
these boys. These me need to get
together for the benefit of our
race. The political situation in
our county calls for greater
racial solidarity. Since the lead

shifted to another party and an
other group of men. l am won
dering how many of these men
are trying to organize sentiment
around what ought to be done
for our people, and how many
of them have submerged the
fever of forgetting to the para
