Porgy-Porgy-Porgy lives again
after his demise in the early thirties.
Last week reams of news were writ
ten about the revolt of our collegiates,
against the portrayal of the scion OF
catfish row.
The Minnesota Daily, student news
organ, found easy material for several
galleys of type, as the fight waxed in
fury, waned in common sense.
Without any protest from the COM
batants, the campus journal subtly in
formed us that the new generation is
full afflicted with one of the ills of
the old, that colored folk can't get to-
gether on anything.
The Student Council, composed Of
some of the Negro students, took vote
after vote, and finally the opposition
won.
Reason for the big battle: some
thought that white folk would think
that the business address of colored
students, might be catfish row.
Amusing number one was the dis
play of fraternal scorn, as brother
drew against brother, and sister stuck
toungue out at sister.
Amusing number two was the N. A.
A. c. p, who, not satisfied with let
ting the kids battle it out, went up in
the air, flew over the river, over
mountains of situation that really need
correction, to land on the campus and
bravely battle until the mogul who
has lots to say about student theatres
ducked out, the boys quit throwing
rocks, the girls got their lounges back
in focus.
The first line of humanitarian de-
fense apparently forgot that Porgy ran
a long long time in New York, right
at the front or of their head office,
and no one heard protest.
Evidently were unaware, that short
ly after the book Porgy appeared,
civic minded citizens of Charleston,
S. c., home of the hearo, cleaned up
catfish row.
Help! Give me the lowdown, and
I'll tell the world-Lo. 2231.
Had an opportunity to ask Cedric
Adams, Star Journal columnist, what
his rukus causing article was all about
Was informed that he did not mean
to stir up anything smelly, when he
wrote about the specialized black and
tan.
Said he did not consider it any OF
his business to clean up the town, and
that there was no intentional display
of prejudice in the article, which was
one reason he did not give the address.
Told us where the place was, and it
wasn't on the northside. Spoke OF
having received lot of calls about it,
and was willing to print any outside
comment.
1t would behoove Negro owners OF
such places, to quit trying to evade
death and taxes, as it simply isn't
done

Convict Camp
To Be Moved
Coming Week

Final inspection of the new $40,-
600 State Highway and Public Works
Commission prison camp four miles
southeast of Henderson was held
Wednesday, and its taking over by
the State and transfer of prisoners
there is expected within a few days.
Superintendent j. H. Gupton, of
the camp, said today he expected to
move the Negro prisoners now quar-
tered at the old camp on the eastern
outskirts of the city to the new bar
racks probably the latter part Of next
week.
Equipment, including double-declz-
er hunks, are TO be installed the last
of the week and the first of next.
Other furnishings will also be set up,
so that everything will be in read
mess by the time the prisoners are
removed.
Some 60 to IS Negro convicts are
quartered in the camp here, and the
property, owned by the county, will
be turned back to the county by the
State commission when the prisoners
are transferred. The site was used as
a county convict camp prior to the
time the State took over the roads
and the cOnVictS several years ago.

Both B. & L.
Groups Will
Pay Series

Both the Home Building and Loan
md the Henderson Building and
Loan Associations are closing out
series and will distribute payments
to shareholders at the end of this
month, and few weeks thereafter
will open new series. Some thous-
ands of dollars in cash will be dis
tributed among the holders Of stock
maturing in these series.
It is estimated that some $4,000
to $4,000 will be distributed in
cash and other large amounts in
paid off mortgage obligations.
Series now maturing were started
back in 1888, and investors and
mortgage borrowers have paid week
by week toward the maturity date,
which arrives at the end Of this
month. Those who are paid in cash
will have money available for re-
investment, or ior ilquidation 81
personal obligations, or whatever
else they may wish to do with their
available savings.
For others, liens on homes OF
other property will be surrendered
by the building and loan associations
as all obligations are settled in full
and the property is freed Of debt.
Both associations have long oper-
ated here, and both have enjoyed
rapid growth and enlargement

Good Autumn
Season Here
Looked For

A fall business volume that will DC
fairly satisfactory generally IS look
ed for here, and preparations for the
usual autumn trade are being made
by retail and other establishments.
Passing of Labor Day, sometime
referred as business new year, Will
find the city virtually on the eve of
the opening of the tobacco auction
season the following Thursday, and
from th"n on thcrc viii be " not,r'
able stir and activity, with crops
chanptng hands and safes pIcklng ~
for stores as ready cash is converted
into clothing, household furnishings
and the like.
The fact that tobacco prices are
holding fairly firm on Border Belt
markets has generated more op-
timism and enthusiasm here in eX-
pectation of the local crop bringing
at least as good averages. When the
farmer prospers local business does,
too, and when he has a hard time
nearly every one else does likewise
in this section.
Merchants have already made some
of their fall purchases, and will lay
in additional stocks as there is de-
mand They will be guided to some
extent by the price of tobacco when
the season here gets under way three
weeks hence.

Big Tobacco
Issue Fast
Taking Shape

The annual tobacco edition OF the
Daily Dispatch, now IN preparation,
promises to be we'll up to the stand
ard of last years issue in size and
content. A portion of it has already
been printed, and other sections are
being put on the press as rapidly as
they can be made ready.
Since the tobacco market opens
this wear week or more earlier than
recent years, there is less time IN
which to produce the paper, and las
ter work is being required to make
the deadline The date for issue OF
the paper is Thursday, August 81,
exactly one week in advance OF the
opening of the market on Thursday,
September 7. Always in the past the
tobacco edition has been put out as
nearly as possible to week IN ad-
vance of the opening of the market,
so that it can be placed into the
hands of growers before they start to
market with their first loads of
golden weed for sale on the Hender-
son market.
Solicitors are making every effort
to call on all business people who are
prospects for space reservations, ana
a very generous response has been
given. Every concern solicited, but
one or two, has taken space in the
issue, and the business community
will be we'll represented, it now ap-
pears
Because of the shortness of the
time, some concerns may not be
roochCJ until late and those DESIRING
to appear in the edition are urged to
notify tho D. 'r' ~~l--~--'' .'--~
partment Immediately that they will
desire to have copy.
The issue is put out as part of the
promotion campaign for the market
and for selling" Henderson to the
entire section as trading center.
Business people have shown their
willingness to cooperate in the under
taking.

WEATHER is BIG FACTOR
IN PLATTSBURG WAR GAMES

Plattsburg, N. Y, Aug. 17.-(AP)
The weather became a major con-
Germ to $4,000 soldiers of the First
Army as they took the field today to
flight" the second of a series of
minor engagements leading up to the
big push that will conclude these
war games next week.
To the doughboys, pelted with rain
and hail, which swept the 400 square
mile battle area yesterday, it was
primarily a matter of personal COM
fort. To the men of the mechanical
artillery and cavalry units, however,
the weather held the threat that a
drenching rain might offer stern
test of their high speed equipment,
which has yet to prove in these
maneuverS what it can do under un-
favorable conditions.
