Madison County
Negroes Plan
Hospital

Much interest has been manifest
ed by both white and colored citi-
zens in the proposed Negro Memoir
ialial Hospital. The institution is to
be built as a memorial to the Ne
groes who are serving or have
served in the armed forces of our
country.
The need for such an institution
is very evident, as 1875 per cent Of
the population of the county is
colored. and at present the only
hospital facilities provided are at
the Kings Daughters Hospital
which has two wards and two pri-
vate rooms for colored patients.
Application has been made for the
charter. The hospital is to be a
non profit institution. The charter
provides that there shall be fifteen
trustees, ten colored and five
white.
The White Trustees are Johnnie
Vohner, Joe Teaver, Stanley Mat
thews, Frank Allen and Robert H.
Powell, while the colored trustees
are: Cage Sutherland, Ben Tate
Bruce Coleman, Eugene Virgins
Dan Williams, ST., Irwin A.. Frank
lin, L. M Tolliver, E. V. O'Bryant
A. M. Rogers and R. M. Mackey.
The institution will be built BY
the contributions from all the PEG
pie in the county. 1t has been estl
mated that the proposed institution
will cost approximately $4,000. Nc
| difficulty is anticipated in recelV
ing priority for materials once the
money is in hand.
Mississippi has one hospital bee
| Tor eacn LULU persons, WIllle liit
nation averaged one person out o.
every 100 in hospital bed in 1943
In Madison county there are only
IA beds for more than 10000 col
/ ored people We have less than ons
bid for every 2,0U0 Negroes in ths
| county. With the shortage of doc
tors it is impossible for all the Ne
/, groes to receive medical treatmen
in their homes.
| 1t is doubtful if any other prof
ect would receive such wholeheart
ed support by both races.

United Negro College Fund
Campaign April Is,
Sl,55o, 900 Asked
Letters Of Praise To Negro Colleges
Written By Late President,
Made Public

Praising Negro colleges for their
important contributions to our war
effort in training young Negroes in
specific skills," President Roose-
welt, in a letter made public today,
commends to the American people
the United Negro College Fund
campaign which opened April 18.
The objective of the appeal is to
raise $1,550,000 to help 80 accredit-
ed private Negro colleges meet their
wartime needs.
This endorsement of the colleges
and their work is contained in a
letter sent by the President to
Thomas A. Morgan, chairman of
the campaign. He specifically COM
mends the colleges, not only for
their work in the war, but also in
helping Negroes acquire the quail
ties of leadership the race and the
nation need now-and will need in
the future" Mr.. Roosevelt expressed
his qualification that a Southerner,
Mr. Morgan, who is also president
of Sperry Corporation, is chairman
Of the drive.
The letter follows:
April 5, 1915
The White House
Washington, D. c.
My dear MIR. Morgan:
1t is good to hear that accredited
private colleges for Negroes in the
United States are working togeth-
er in order that they may be better
pr Jared 10 do the important tasks
in education which lie before them.
It is good to know also that you
-as a Southerner aware of the
necessity for the education Of all
our people, regardless of race
are providing leadership nthis CO.
operation.
CAS- you know, l have been IA
miliar with the work of many of
these colleges. They made import
ant contributions to our war effort
in training young Negroes for spe-
cific skills and in helping them to
acquire the qualities of leadership
the race and the nation need now
and will need in the future.
In such an enterprise, l am sure
you can count upon the best wishes
of all Americans who are interest
ed in the better education of our
young people.
Very sincerely yours,
Franklin d. Roosevelt"
While none of the money will be
spent for new buildings, one of the
detectives of the. campaign is to
help the colleges provide adequate
facilities for Negro veterans re-
turning to college under the educa-
tional benefits of the CT. Bill of
Rights.

the Eighth Episcopal District for
the assignment of our beloved and
aggressive pastor, Rev. j. S. Butler
in October for this conference year;
whom we delight to support and
follow and because of whom we've
made unusual strides and progress
thus far and indulge in the pleas
ing hope that the balance of the
conference year and all the fu-
ture time of the present admins
tration will be equally successful.
Our most recent undertaking and
work was a rally for the further
Identification of the church and
the eventual purchase of a par
sonage. The first report of which
was Sunday at which time more
than $60000 from this small mem
bership was laid on the table This
amount exceeded all previous fin
ancial drives; and so stimulated this
small but loyal group Immediately
launched subsequent times for con-
tinued reports. The Voice of the
rsdall church will be heard at sum
cry times hereafter.
The following are the reports
submitted by captains Sunday:
