The True Tabernacle Church of
God in Christ, 127 East Bell Street,
has for the past weeks conducted
an old fashioned Camp Meeting on
the corner of Monument and Far

and he shall know that there is
a God in Israel" End King 5:8.
Bishop Jones is preaching very
hard trying to get the people to
see that there is a God in the land
and that he is the same God to-
day that He was a thousand years
ago. He invites everyone to try
God now and ask Him for His
blessings.
He invites everyone to come out
to the camp meeting which is held
nightly and lets all try God to-
gether Many people are attending
each night and a hardy welcome
awaits all. Sister Sarah Craft, Re-
porter.

June %, at the age of 68 years.
at the China Grove A. M. E. church,
the Rev. ]. C. Clancy, pastor and
Presiding Elder H. D. Rhodes of
the Port Gibson district, officiat-
ing.
Bro. Jackson, who had lived for
years in this community was a
member of China Groove church
for 81 years and the record shows
that he was a faithful member, a
devout Christian, a loving and de-
voted husband and father and a
loyal friend. He was equally well
known by white and colored thru
out Madison county and to know
him was to love him.
The high esteem in which he
was held by all was attested by
the fact that close to 500 persons,
including eleven ministers of all
denominations, were present at
the funeral. Other testimonies of
the love his fellowmen had for
him were the beautiful flowers and
other expressions of sympathy re-
ceived by the family. There were
As cars, 6 trucks, 2 other convey
ance and 6 friends on horse back
in the funeral procession. Tribute
was paid to this great man by the

Convention
By James A. White

The SEVENTH session of the
]. M. B. Sunday school educational
convention and tie twenty Est
session of the J. M. B. District B.
Y. U. convention was held at the
st. Peter Baptist church July SO.
The theme of the session was
Christianity in action" There were
some noble addresses a n d
some good teaching. Rev. A l..
Rice, Rev r. E. Willis and Rev. E.
R. Wedell brought information and
inspiration to the meeting daily
Mr.. S. R. johnson instructed the
session in building a standard Sun
day school from A. Flakes book.
He stressed the necessity of keep
ing politics out of the church, as
did the other leaders. He objected
to the Sunday school officers nam
ing committee to nominate Off
GERS on the ground that it would
lend to keeping inefficient men
in office.
The departmental instruction was
not what it should have been be-
cause of the officers policy of
waiting until the convention con-
vene to elect them. Such method
is detrimental to the purpose of
the convention, but it has great
political value to the officers.
The Sunday school department
was headed by non-pastoring
minister, Rev. G.. A. Riley, a good
meaning man, who in the opinion
of many is not quit equal to the

The Negro citizens of jackson
really backed the attack" during
the fifth war loan drive which of
ficialy closed on July 8. With Mr..
E. w. Banks as the general chair
man and Dean H. T. Sampson as
special chairman, the drive literally
went over the top.
Miss Essie Haley, with her re-
lentless drive and indomitable will
as co-chairman, led the house to
house volunteer workers to vic
tory. Those who assisted Miss Ha-
ley in making personal contacts
were:
Mrs. R. N. Thibodeaux of Camp
bell College; Mrs. L. c. Davis of
Jackson College; Mrs. Annie M.
Mosley, Mr.. w. o. Blalock, Mrs.
Lizzie Oates, Mrs Barbara Beadle

Aside from selling bonds the
above group did fine job in edu-
eating the general public as to the
nature ofthis war and the advan-
tages of investing in bonds. They
also explained the part our boys
are playing in this conflict The
work of this group is very import
ant because of the large number of
contacts made and the large num-
Der of small bonds sold.
Another feature of the drive was
the sale of bonds through the
booths which was under the super
vision of Mrs. Doris Hall and the
Chain of Friendship Club" This
club is sponsored by Mrs. Hall and
is made up of group of teen-age
Jacksonians. Mrs. Hall was also
assisted by Mesdames Sue Hair,
Emily Hall, Nellie Williams, Azure
liza Young, and Lille B. King.
A third feature of the drive was
the bond auction sponsored by Mrs.
Matte NJ Marshall. Miss Haley,
Mrs. L. c. Davis and a group of
Lanier high school in service tea
cheers did a great job in contracting
the business firms of Jackson who
contributed generously to this
drive. Mr.. Percy Green of the Jack
son Advocate served as auctioneer.
The parade and bond rally at
Lanier high school greatly stimu-
lated the success of this drive. We
are indebted to Percy Green for
his ingenuity in planning this phase
of the drive. The bands of Camp
Shelby and Camp Mccain really
gave the citizens of Jackson treat
by their fine display. We thank all
the participants of the parade for
their part in making it success.
Father Keeling, M. M. Hubert,
A. A. Alexander also contributed
to the success of the drive Mrs.
J. L. Reddix of Jackson College
contacted the faculty of Jackson
College. Mr.. Chester Owens cover
ed the rural areas.
The management of the Ritz
Theatre, and the Almo and Booker
T. Theatres threw their support
behind the drive 1t is great to
have such civic minded citizens in
chare of public institutions

w stepped down from
the witness stand at his re-
cent Mann Act trial in Los
Angeles, he had the court
room spellbound.
In telling the story of his
relations with Joan Barry,
his pretty red = headed ex-
protegee, the millionaire
movie star pulled out all
the stops, including tears.
Whether he was putting
on an act wasn't an issue at
stake. But il does raise the
interesting question as 10
whether il is legal or ethical
for a witness. or a lawyer,
10 resort 10 tears 10 sway
a jury.
The question of tie ar
shedding came up before
the Supreme Court of Ten
nessee not so long ago.
After considerable delibera-
ton, the judges held that
copious tears were a legiti-
mate weapon in legal artfk
lery and even indicated that
il might be the duty of a
lawyer 10 shed them IL he
could.
Justice Wilkes, whowrote
the unanimous opinion,
pointed out that there was
no law anywhere that for
bids weeping before a jury,
that il had been used since
time immemorial, and was
a custom deeply imbedded
in common law.
The conduct of counsel
in presenting their cases TO
juries, the jurist ruled, lis
a matter which must be left
largely TO the ethics of the
profession and the discre-
ton of the trial judge.

Perhaps no two counsel
observe the same rules in
presenting their cases 10

in logic and argument,

any kind. Others use rhet-

Others employ only noise

D.troh Time. washington Bureau

WASHINGTON. July s. Ef-
forts for legislation 10 deport as
many as $1,000 of the country's
100000 japanese, including all
avowedly disloyal Japanese
Americans, will be resumed when
Congress reconvenes in Septem-
Der, Senator Mcfarland Cd Of
Arizona announced today.
He told of arrangements 10 col
laborate with Representative
johnson (R) of California upon
Joint measures which would send
TO Japan the 10000 American
born Japs who last year signed
statements refusing TO foreswear
allegiance TO the Mikado. To
these would be added about $1,000
Jap aliens whose loyalty TO the
emperor is beyond question.
The new bills will propose
amendments 10 a Department of
Justice measure, passed by the
Senate without debate, before the
summer recess, and signed by the
President,
ADVOCATED BY BIDDLE
The new law, advocated by
Atty. Gen. Biddle. provides de-
portation only after fresh state
mentS of disloyalty, and a wish 10
be deported.
The McF'arlanG-JohnSon amend
mentS would provide deportation
hearings through immigration bu-
.reau procedure.
During House debate last win
ter, it was charged that the adj
ministration was endeavoring to
minimize the disloyalty of the
Japanese Americans, so that War
Relocation Authority efforts TO
Dust Japs from relocation centerS
would not be hampered.
POSITION OF WRA
The WRA argues the Japanese
Americans did not mean what
they said in army and WRA ques-
tionnaires that they were not
loyal to the United States.
Mcfarland added:
81 will grant they did not
realize they might be mourning
deportation. They thought Japan
had the war won.
None of these traitorOus
Japs now will renew his state
ment OF dislOyalty, because they
don't want to be shipped to
beaten Japan"
