We realize that you face an ar
duous and complex problem in Sc

staff that will please the Negro CT

a few who have organized them
selves into several Democratic
clubs.
These citizens realize you can't
please everyone, but they will
stand at your back because of you
appointing a member of the race.
You therefore need have no fear
Of retaliation from disgruntled Ne
gro politicians. These people were
chosen because of their positions
in the community, and their first
hand knowledge of the Negro per-
sonnet of King County The ra-
cial line and not the political line
is the potent line of demarcation,
and check on the members of
the committee will show them to
be outstanding.
1t is expected that any appli-
cant that would receive favorable
consideration must be a member
of the Democratic party, we have
been careful in selecting the COM
mittee to avoid anyone who might
be possible candidate for the ap-
point However, we wish to re-
mind you that the committee will
approve any or all applicants if
they qualify. Membership in any
organization will make no differ
ence. The committee asks that
you advise them as to the type of
position you contemplate placing
a Negro in, so they may better be
able to approve or disapprove the
qualification of the applicant.

Community Workers
Council
BY Hutch Hutchins

Education of our young people,
and our working people to prepare
for jobs, to seek those places where
men are trained to do skilled work,
to get work at a decent rate of
pay, in my opinion will be support
ed by all thinking people in our
community" said Rev. Davis of
Mt. Zion Baptist church at the
meeting of the executive board of
the Council this week. 81 think, -
continued Rev. Davis, that it is
necessary for our group to get
together and work for a common
end"
The Council invited all the min
listers to a round table discussion
of a program with which they
could raise the cultural level of
our people.
Rev. Fred Hughes urged the
Council to produce facts of all
kinds and the ministers would CO.
operate in a community spirit.
Attorney John Prim, president
of the Council proposed a broad
social program to the meeting
of which the main points were

often the musician is criticised for

FRIDAY, APRIL e, 1888.

Monday that the lineup for the
$20,000,000 drive during the week
Of May 9-16 is now being made. All
companies are getting set, calling in
their ablest men and mapping plans
to put over the greatest effort Of
writing new business in the history
Of Negro insurance. Last year, un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Cox, the
member companies Of the National
Negro Insurance Association wrote
$1i, 100000 in business. This was
the first year. This year the goal
has been moved up to $4,000, 700,
and at the meeting of the committee
in Louisville recently, sentiment was
prevalent among delegates from
leading companies that the goal can
will be, and must be reached. Win
ners will be announced at the 18th
annual meeting of the Association in
Cleveland, June 15-17, when prizes
will be awarded to individual agents
who score the highest production.

contributed to hospitals and the So

articles of food and clothing.
