C. H. YOST STORE INTERIOR
is NOW, ONE OF BEST HERE

The interior of the grocery
department of the c. H. Yost
store near the post office has re-
Gently undergone complete and
most modern rebuilding. AS
it is now there are few ifany
grocery stores in the city that
equal it for attractive display of
merchandise where customers
and both see and examine every
thing for sale. The meat depart
ment is a most interesting part
of tn e store, modern in every
way and in charge of a very COM
petant gentleman. The other
clerks are courteous and helpful,
Mr.. Deskins, formerly of the
local PIGGY Wiggly store is the
manager of this wide awake
grocery butcher shop and dry
goods store.
That t he public appreciates
wide-awake and up to(the minute
stores here in Keystone was in
evidence Saturday. The force
was very busy most Of the day
waiting on the steady stream
Of customers that wended is
way into the mercantile eSIabli-
shment all day long. The prices
there are right and the goods
is right and the management is
courteous, and they appreciate
ones trade, all this plus a most
modern store draws trade, as
we have more than once noticed.

Charlie Collier, owner of the
show, Is native of Macon, Ga.
long known and admired for his
ability to give to the public large
Gage Entertainments. HIS 1899
show has been definitely acclaim
ed the largest and most elaborat-
ely dressed show on the road
today.
A fast, snappy f,por review
and tuneful entertainment was
what the large local audience
shared throughout the one hour
and forty minutes S las Green's
cast. showed their newest attrac-
tions, with many new stars, all
new songs, new skits, fresh
scenery, gorgeous cuEtDmee,
new dances, new ideas and a
vide departure from The usual
show.
In spot alone was the peg

the audience with his expert
dancing n d uncanny precision

est shows we have ever seen,
The show itself was delightful
and eXceedingiy,good. The usual
uncouth and smntty stuff of the
majority of travelling shows was
totally abser3ta and the Silas
Green troupe gave us an most
entertaining and clean even
ing of amusement
The great tent was filled to
its capacity with both white and
colcred folks who had come not
only from Keystone and envir-
rms but from GOAL camps far up
the hollows.
The Stage settings of the show
this year were brand new, and
showed the hand of skilled
property man. THE costumes of
the performers all appeared to
have never been worn previous
to- this performance of the show.
The band of N. Golfers show
has been in big demand for
dances and has indeed been a
busy musical organization the
past few days here. The men,
bers of this band are all artists
and masters Of dance music.

Further, cannot believe that

fOr TWO score years and more
he who ventured to enter a
tournament to tilt lances with
the redoubable Dean Kelly Miller
usually found himself in a con-
test which tired his mettle to
the uttermost. This observation
is made before seeking to reply
of his news release of the pre-
sent week committing on my re-
cent designation by Chairman
John Hamilton as one OF the
Publicity Directors and Advisors
here at Republican National
Committee Headquarters.
For more than thirty years
have enjoyed Dean Miller's
warm, personal and affectionate
friendship. He is one of the most
beloved of Howard university's
myriad group of Alumni, and is
probably more affectionately re-
garded by the nearly 300 gradu-
ates who leave the institution
each year than any individual
who h a ever been connected
with the institution during the
72 years of it's educatioal history
He is also beloved by countless
of others black, and white, who
admire his scholarship, his elo-
quence, and his manly defense
of his race.
He is probably our best known
publicist and polemical writer.
His sword has known no brother
where the vital interests of his
people are concerned.
For his kindly references to
me personally, l make due ack-
nowldegment, and express, with
du humility, my grateful
thanks. There can be no quar-
rel between us, as we clearly and
frankly understand each others
position with respect to present
day political conditions.
! The New Deal challenges
Dean Miller's unrivaled pane
gerics under all conditions and
circumstances. None of the a.
buses, none of the brutaltarian
tatics employed to humiliate
unfortunate colored people in
the administration of the NRA,
AAA, FSa USHa Fila, Resettle-
ment, the Wage and Hour Law,
and other alphabetical agencies,
have challenged, or aroused,
his resentment, or criticism.
With all of his high praise,
cannot accept Dean Miller's
dictum that, while / have re-
manned loyal to the ideals and
traditions of the Republican
party, 1.-THE majority of those
most outstanding and influential
members of the race have been
enticed away from their political
mooring by lie allurement of
tn e Democratic party and the
New Deal"
While it is true that a large
number of colored men have
been placed in executive relation

opinion, that many of these

DIR. Scott Replies to
Dean Miller on COP

thousands of others, outside OF
public office, have not been slow
to recognize the fact that, des.
pite such dramatic gestures as
have been made, the race, itself
taken as a Who'll, actually h a S
remained relatively outside the
limits of New Deal processes.
Whatever small gains have
been made, have been ovrbalanc-
ed, swamped, as it were, by the
inequities of the New Deal.
The Second National Con-
ference on the Problems of the
Ngro and Negro Youth unspar-
ingly called attention to glariing
determinations and mischievous
tendencies in the administration
of most of these agencies.
In the case of one of them, the
Conference noted "a tendency
to use Federal funds for purpos-
es of fixing residential patterns
according to local prejudices,
thereby establishing segregated
areas and racial ghettos," re-
ference being made to the FILA.
Many similar instances of glar
ing discrimination were pointed
out. Particularly, failure to ap-
point colored men to positions
in administrative and policy
making bodies, where the great
est. influence and wisdom are
most necessary to safeguard
minority rights. ....
There has been no effort made
to integrate Negroes into private
industry. The great masses of
colored people still remain ere
liefers" or "dolees." In the
field of relief administration,
the Second Conference on Ne
gro problems pointed out that
experience has shown that Re-
lief Administrators in many
states and municipalities either
lack sympathetic understanding
of the problems of minority
groups, or are DESTROYS of pre-
venting Negroes from equitably
sharing t h e benefits of relief
programs.
cannot bring myself to be-
lieve that Dean Miller, in his
fulsome praise of New Deal
activities, is in agreement with
these discriminatory techniques.
/ need not point out, of course,
the most recent discriminatory
action of the Secretary of War
in refusing to set aside, sums of
money to be made available
that Negro youth may take it's
proper place in the various arm
ed services of the Government,
at time when the menace of
war may be all but impending.
DISCRIMINATION and Segrega-
ton Of Negro citizens in h c
armed forces of the Government
are still rampant.
Dean Miller places great reli.
ance upon the "allurements" OF
the New Deal. Probably, our
fundamental difference is that
believe in the saving grace Of
the sanity of Negro Americans
and that they are subject to the
! samo educational processes Of
