Best Time to
Save Money

September 5, 1914
Editor: We have your copy of
your issue of September l and note
your editorial on the wisdom of ac-
cumulating something against the
days which will follow the end of
the war. 1t has always seemed to
US that thrift constitutes first grade
sense and is a desirable trait at any
time.
We believe, however, that it is
particularly desirable at times
when persons are enjoying more
than a normal income since it
would seem that the best time to
save money is when you have it.
We believe, therefore, that any
one renders a service to his COM
munity and to his fellow men in
advocating this under any circum-
stances and we believe that your
suggestion is particularly timely at
this time.
Yours very truly,
Roy W. Larsen,
President.

ceeded.
Under Gideon's leadership, the
poor whites and Negroes of Car
well joined forces to buy the land
they lived on. Seldom molested by
the Ku Klux Khan as long as Fed
eral troops were around, they work
ed and prospered. Nine years
after the Convention, they had their
own homes, schools, mills, ideas.
Gideon's eldest son, JEFF, was back
from Scotland with a medical de-
gree, and Gideon himself was a
Representative in Congress.
Their decline began with the
election of President Hayes, which,
Gideon heard, involved a deal to
withdraw troops from South Caro-
lima and Louisiana. Knowing it
was too soon, Gideon appealed to
the incumbent Grant. Denied, he
returned to Carwell to wait in
despair.
The end was not long coming.
Even before the troops left, Klans-
men beat the wife Of one of the
farmers, then beat the farmer until
he lost his mind. Failing in their
efforts to organize a militia, the
whites and blacks of Carwell bar
ricaded themselves inside the big
plantation house. Marcus, Gideon's
youngest son, was shot while try
ing to get help. jeff was murdered
after answering an appeal under
truce to help some wounded Klans-
men. In a brief three-day siege,
the plantation house and all its
contents were destroyed.
In his earlier novels (The I'm
vanquished, The Last Frontier, Con-
ceived in Liberty, Citizen Tom
Paine), Author Fast established a
reputation for giving history a
square deal. But readers whose
knowledge of Reconstruction is
confined to textbook tales of carpet
baggers and scalawags will be
astounded by his new thesis. An
ticipating disbelief, Fast declares
in an afterword that the truth of
his story is documented, but "the
very memory was expunged" by
powerful forces which did not hold
it to be good thing for the Amer
lean people to know"

Face turned away, in her hair,
There was no doubt that she fair,
And then you faced the hard cold facts,
She looked around-a battle-axe
He sat erect with great physique
Square shoulders making yours weak,
And envy made you fret and fdget,
Then he stood up-yes, midget
He looked astute in each detail,
You thought of Harvard, Princeton, YALE
Your interest grew time on,
And then few words proved him moron!
She sat in church meek and mild,
No power on earth could get her riled,
But removed from solemn pew,
There was no tanning of the shrew!
Life is fraught with dislusion
Truth and shadows in collision,
Few things appear in broad daylight,
The way they look to you at night!

Church Reporter.
Pilgrim Baptist Church News:
Last Sunday, September 8, Rev.
Isaac Fisher gave the charge of
Pilgrim church to our new pastor,
Rev. Floyd Massey, Jr., in
a very impressive manner at our
morning worship service. Rev.
Fisher urged the membership to
support their new leader. The ser
mon by Rev. Massey was taken
from Mathew 9:37. His subject
was "Laborers Wanted-Experi-
ence Unnecessary" He said all
that is needed to work for Jesus is
willingness but laborers are few.
Two new members united with the
church. The pastor praised both
choirs. The Ladies Aid Society
furnished flowers that lent beauty
to the service.
In Rev. Massey's first sermon
he linked organized labor with cru
saders in Christianity, stating that
in many instances organized labor
had succeeded in promoting broth
erly love where the church had fail
ed, especially in the deep south
where unions have demanded that
Negroes be given equal opportunity
and equal pay and living conditions.
He pointed out that Negroes had in
some cases been appointed repre-
sentatives of these groups.
Sunday evening, Rev. Massey Sc
lected "The Solution That Cannot
Fail" for his subject, taken from
the 18th Psalm. He said they that
wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength. He closed with
eve must wait upon God. If you
have lost that conviction, regain it
now"
Next Sunday, Rev. Massey's sub
ject at the morning service will

ming he will preach on "The Criti-
cal Spirit. Harris.

When Gideon Jackson told them,
the freedmen of Carwell Planta-
ton said "Halleluja," and relaxed
their fears of the first mysterious
repercussion of freedom. But the
fright in the giant frame of Gideon
was greater than it had ever been
in battle. The Voting had made
him a delegate.
When the South Carolina State
Constitutional Convention assem-
bled in Charleston in 1868, Gideon
Jackson was one of rs Negroes
among the 124 members. Scorned
by the sulking gentry, berated by
the press, abysmally confused most
of them despaired of accomplishing
anything.
But like Gideon who slowly
learned to read and write, the Con-
vention slowly caught on. By The
time it adjourned, it had fashioned
a sound basis for a democratic
community of whites and Negroes.

polls, compulsory education, the

itics. However, this is not purely a
political matter in that sense,
because the destiny of the Ne
gro is involved and on that
account, the purely economic and
social problems with which the
Urban League is primarily con-
cerned could be laid aside for
while-until after November
to get a more urgent and vital
effort of impressing on every po-
tential Negro voter that he cannot
vote unless he registers and if he
does not register he is throwing
away opportunity to do himself and
his kind a service.

L Around banquet table on Long Island
sit Thomas A. Edison and the countrys
leading men of the electrical industry.
The talk swings to politics, to Bryan and
Mckinley and the Cuban situation
back again to business. There is discussion
about storage batteries to drive Americas
"horseless carriages. Someone points to
young Henry Ford, Chief Engineer of the
Detroit Edison Company, and says:
"There's man who has built gas carl"
At once, Edison eagerly begins to ask
quest stions-and to listen. "How do you

it, Keep at it. Your car is self-contained-
carries it's own power plant fire, no
boiler, no smoke, and no steam. Keep at 1T"
Here was the challenge and encourage
ment Henry Ford needed most. 1t was
something he never forgot And through
the years, keeping-at-it has remained firm
tradition of Ford Motor Company as it

1t is this keeping -at-it in research, in engi-

Ford name synonym for smart, comfort
able, economical transportation, priced to
serve the needs of the greatest number.
In the peaceful days ahead, the new
Ford, Mercury and Lincoln cars will reflect

their famous quality leadership. They will
benefit by the new knowledge of materials
