REPUBLICANS SET PRECEDENT
FOR ALL JOBS HELD BY
NEGRO DEMOCRATS
(Editorial)

Every regular office job held by Negro Democrat
in Montgomery county is due to the precedent set by
Republicans when they in control Of the county
Republican County Chairman Daniel G. Brewer
was first to appoint colored election officials Negro
deputies ii the court house and Negro assistant
county prosecutor.
The Democrats have refused to appoint Negro
deputy treasurer, deputy auditor deputy sheriff or
Negro assistant prosecutor. Yet some ll-lnformed
little politicians have the audasty to say that the
Democrats have given appointments to Negroes
than the Republicans. There is absolutely compari-
son between the treatment received by Negroes from
Republicans and Democrats.
The average Democrat regards the Negro vote as
mercenary Indeed, Democratic candidates almost in
varibly send whiskey and beer to every West Side
meeting And vet Negro preachers have fallen
- low IN sell respect to advocate the election Of
these Democrats
Voters should remember that every Negro who
asks them Democratic is the payroll IN some
way In other words Negro will advocate the cleo
ton Of local Democrats without being well paid

Of England's classic halls of litera-

students who attend Friendship
Junior College from all sections of

Morris Brown College
Receives $4,000 Gift
From Rosenwald Fund

ATLANTA, GA gift to Nor
ris Brown College, one of the larg-
est grants made to Negro institu-
tons in the past year, and the
large ever made to a school of the
A. M. e. church, has just been
announced by Bishop w. A.
Fountain, chairman of the board of
trustees.
This gift marks another mile
stone in the progressive career of
the dynamic bishop. who is giving
his life in the cause of education
in Georgia, and to Morris Brown
College, which is rapidly taking its
place in the ranks of the leading
Negro institutions of higher learn
ing.
That the Rosenwald Fund has
undertaken the task of helping to
build an adequate and permenent
endowment fund to be held in
trust for Morris Brown College is
quite significant and encouraging
to the constituency of the A. M.
e. church, which has been sup
porting the institution for the past
Sc years. The requirements of the
gift are that the Rosenwald funds
will be matched dollar for dollar
by the friends of the institution.
