Considered To Be
City's Finest Hotel
For CoIored
BY SARAH M. HARVEY


Charm and comfort are the key
notes of the new modern Edward
Lee Hotel, located at IA West
Church Street, Jackson, Miss,
owned and operated by Mr.. and
Mrs Edward Lee.
Modern in every detail, the two
story building made up of &c bed
rooms, lounge, a dining room,
beauty parlor, ladies and mems
rest rooms, six shower baths and
two tubs, with wash basins in a
number of the rooms, will accom-
modate so or more persons.
On entering the hotel, one is at
once struck with the beauty and
fine taste displayed-in one corner
of the lounge is the desk where
travellers may register and receive
keys to the clean, comfortable and
well-arranged rooms that are sure
to prove a haven for the many
weary travellers that pass through
Jackson regularly-this desk being
presided over by Mrs. Lee.
In the lounge an indirect flou-
resent lighting effect reveals the
harmonious ooI0~ col, o,o,oo 81
show to an advantage the deep
comfortable chairs, the well-ap-
pointed writing desks and other
modern furniture and fixtures
which will also make this lounge
source of real enjoyment for all
who visit the hotel.
All the bedrooms are attractive
ly furnished so as to provide the
utmost in comfort.
One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the new hotel is the beau
ty parlor, located on the ground
floor, managed by Mrs. Thelma
billiard, an expert beautician and
hair stylist.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Lee, ma
tives of Hazlehurst. Miss, came to
Jackson more than 81 years ago.
During this time they have oper-
ated one of Jackson's best cafes
and rooming house and have be-
come known throughout the county
as being symbolic of the best in
service and good old Southern
hospitality.
During World War II they had
a government contract to sleep
Navy and Marine personnel and
fed selectees to and from Camp
Shelby.
In giving to Jackson this hotel
they are providing most needed
service and it is hoped that the
Hotel Edward Lee will know moth
ing but success.

Westminster Says
No Award In AS
Fiction Contest

No prize will be given this year
in the Westminster Press Annual
Award for Fiction, it was announc-
ed today by the editors and judges.
Although many interesting manu-
scripts were submitted none ade-
quately fulfilled the specific re-
quirements of the award, which
was to have been made this Sep
TENDER, 1916.
The amount of the award was
$4,000 of which $4,000 was to be
an outright prize and $4,000 an adj
vance against royalties. Since no
award is to be made in 1916, the
$4,000 prize will be added to the
award in the 1947 contest, making
the total next year $4,000.
Nearly 500 manuscripts were re-
ceived in this years contest, from
all over the United States and sew
eral foreign countries.
The publishers were looking for
a novel whose theme indicates a
realistic attitude toward and a pos
tive solution of a fundamental hu-
man problem and whose substance
forcefully interprets the power of
spiritual understanding regardless
of where or under what circum-
stances it is encountered No re-
strictions were placed upon the set
ting, the situations or the char
acters. All manuscripts were judg-
ed upon their literary stature and
the scope and significance of their
themes.
In analyzing the reasons why
the manuscripts submitted failed,
the editors found several recurring
shortcomings. One fault was more
deadly than any other This was
the lack of unity. Too many man.
uscripts were confused in their
themes and their stories were out
of focus as a result.
A second reason for failure was
deficient sense of style. Too of
ten, the writers showed little con-
ception of the power and emotional
value of words and their manu-
scripts were savorless and unimag-
NATIVE,
Insignificant, characterless dia-
logue was another stumbling block.
The writer's forgot that good dia-
1ogue is always significant, por-
traying character in bright flashes,
building potent atmosphere and
giving point to the action of the
story.
Slipshod Characterization was
still another pitfall for many of
the would be-prize- winners. With
out living human beings, their
novels were merely so many thou
sand empty words, dead ducks on
artificial ponds.
Poor descriptive passages took
their toll. These inept passages,
either because of unimaginative
writing or because of being bun
glingly inserted into the nara
tive, retarded or even killed the
story.
Cluttered plots spelled doom for
many of the manuscripts. All too
a vital sense of selec-
ton was missing, leaving what
might have been good story to
suffocate under a hodge-podge of
and inconsequential
details and incidents.
