cording to the prevailing gossip, it
seems that one of the local preach
ers has gone and got himself all
messed up in some of that eternal
tri-angling' business. AS he oft
times smokes cigars around one

seeing his strike match to light
up his favorite cheroot, tossed

REMARKABLE PROGRESS
CITED

'The Negro has made remarkable
progress in this country during the
past generation. Better facilities
for education and greater opportu-
mites for economic advancement
have given the colored population
both the aspiration and the means
to satisfy, in part at least, the
benefits of our free and prosperous
America. Yet it remains true that
the condition of the Negro, from
the standpoint of literacy, health,
crime and income, is still not what
it should be, if he is to realize the
hopes and ambitions of the leaders
of his race, and incidentally become
the important market for advertis-
ed goods which these millions of
potentially important consumers
might well be.

the subject of the Negro boy who

armed forces of the United States.

UP and DOWN Parish STREET

BY PERCY GREENE

PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: Everywhere I went up and
and down the ole Avenue folks
were talking about one of the
other of a number of Incidents that
have blighted the city's Negro COM
munity during the past few days.
In talking with one of the States
leading educators he told me that
such things would be bound to
happen for some time while the
people of the state were becoming
adjusted to certain changes being
brought about because of the war,
but, that they would soon end, and
we would settle down to new era
of racial cooperation and goodwill,
to which I agree. Therefore, no
matter how bad these incidents
become let us not allow ourselves to
become bitter. Becoming bitter will
only make us less capable of
bearing up mentally and spiritual
ly under the weight of such Incl
dents and render us less able to
contribute to the coming of that
new era of racial cooperation and
goodwill, which must be the wish
and hope of all right thinging peo-
pie. white and black in town.

Convention raised something like
$17000.00 for the support of Nat

that I was reminded of a story
told me as the truth by a well
known local Baptist preacher
about County Convention where
$4,000 was raised for the same
purpose, but when the leading
brothers of the cloth" and promin-
ent laymen got through the ode
ducts" and expense of the conven--
ton amounted to $94.35 Now I
don't want my Baptist friends to
get mad at me, but as long as

other makeshift institution.
SPEAKING FURTHER ABOUT
THE GENERAL BAPTIST CON-
VENTION, it appears that the
brothers of the cloth are not above
playing little ''unho1y" and rough
