siOnary worker, who returned to
her home i'm Jackson a few days
ago views racial segregation as
complete in Leopoloville, capitol of
the Belgian Congo in Africa.
Miss Liddell worked for three
years for the Congo Protestant

According to press reports, at a
party for white residents, Miss Lid
dell met Mrs. Paul Robson. She
said, "Mrs. Robson was shocked
when she first learned that l was
from Mississippi but after that we
had many interesting converse
TONS" She added that Mrs. Robe
son sent her an autographed copy
of her book, Journey Through At
rica," and wrote that their talks
had given her a broader under
standing" of the Southern white.
Miss Liddell said that whites are

Georgia Governor
Halls Negro
Progress In New
Radio Station

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 5-Governor
Herman Talmadge told radio
audience Tuesday that the great
progress Southern Negroes have
made in the fields of business and
education, bellies the criticism that
has been leveled at the South about
discrimination.
The Governor has become noted
throughout the nation as inheriting
and carrying on the policies of his
late father, Eugene Talmadge, in
seeking to prohibit Negroes from
voting.
Talmadge's speech was made over
radio station WEIRD, Atlanta's new
Negro commercial station, as a
greeting message on it's second day
of operation.
The broadcast was made in the
governors office in the state CAPT.
tol building. A. K. Knight, pro-
gram director for the station, in
troduced the governor.
Talmadge said the station was a
geat step forward in the progress
of the Negro race, and pointed to
other Atlanta Negro businesses as
proof of the industry Of Southern
Negroes. He noted the insurance
companies, bank, and other At
lanta businesses and referred to
magazine article he had read a
bout a North Carolina Negro who
had built large insurance COM
pany. Presumably, he referred to
c. c. Spaulding of the North Caro-
lima Mutual.
He closed his greetings by wish
ing the WEIRD station a success
full operation.
Hundreds of Letters
j. b. Blayton, Jr., manager of
the new historic venture, asserted
that the first two days of opera
tons have been successful in every
way. All programs have gone off
on scheduled time, he said, and
listener response has "been ire
mendous." He pointed to a stack of
several hundred letters and a SINH
lar pile of kilograms of congratu-
lations.
"We have had few flaws in the
programs, but these will be work
ed out before the week is over"
Blayton said the station staff well
comes constructive criticism, and
above all, will try to give the
public what they want to hear"

Woman Who Hung
Herself In Jail
Here Taken To
Forest For Burial

Mrs. Ida Lee McMorris, of 159
East Bell Street, who hung herself
in the city Jail here Wednesday
morning, was taken to her home
IN Forest, Mississippi, for burial
Friday morning.
The young woman hung herself
in the Jail cell where she had been
placed, after being run down by
police, when she was identified as
the woman who forged the passing
of a stolen 500 u. S. Government
check. During the chase police
fired several shots in an attempt
to stop the woman before she was
run down and arrested.
She was taken to Jail about
7:30, and when the jailer went to
bring her down for questioning
about two hours later, she was
found hanging in the cell. She
used a silk nightgows which she
wore in her bosom to increase the
size OF her breast which was knot
ted about her neck. Artificial res
piration, administered by police,
after she had been cut down by
inmates, failed to save her life.
Her husband, Dewitt Memoir
ris, who had also been arrested
in connection with the case, was
released following her death.
Investigations by the JACKSON
ADVOCATE revealed that the
young woman left her home in
Forest in 1871 after being involved
in a similar case. Those who
know her best have long suspect
ed her as not being of sound mind.

Believe The Gospel If You Want
To Be Saved
No matter how high you fly in
life
Some day you will have to come
down,
There are many poor souls that
have not been up
Will receive the starry crown.
No automobile to ride in here
No airplane to fly up high,
Yet God has freed their souls
from sins
And prepared them home when
they die.
The high ups and the low downs
Let me explain it this way,
This high up they are stiff necks
And the low down they want pay.
Gods people they are humble
Not high ups neither low downs,
Meek and humble is the way
If you expect the starry crown.
God gives me good common sense
And he freed my soul from sin,
A heaven he has prepared for me
Some day to enter in.
Shutters stylish and fashions
The world is paying the price,
Playing the racer everywhere
they go
And living stiff neck life.
stayed out in the world years
ago
And | saw my mistake in life,
/ gave up all the race tracks
And lived a Christian life.
Where ever your heart is today
There is your treasure also,
You are playing the races with
the world
So where do you expect to go?
Our churches are full of the rae
kets
So is playing the races each
day,
Claiming they are a child of
God
And their hair is turning gray.
Old men and women wake up to-
day
God is calling young and old,
If you expect to stay in the
game
on are bound to lose your soul.

~. S. Population
May Be 10000, 1000
BY November l

Washington, Aug. 18-The pop
ulation of the United States prob
ably will rise above 150,O0O,O00 be-
tore 1949 is out.
Its rapid approach to that i'm
pressive figure was noted today by
acting census director Phillip M.
Hauser IN a report showing that:
l. The population was estimated
at 14e,215,ooo on July /, including
some 100000 in the armed forces
overseas.
z. Its growth throughout this
year has closely approximated 2OO,-
ooo month, indicating the 15O,-
100000 mark will be reached by
November 1.
Hauser's report noted a "slight
decrease in the birth rate in the last
two years but said a slight decrease
IN the death rate was tending to off
set the decline in births and keep
the population growth pretty
steady.
The office of vital satisfies re-
ports that Americans in general are
living about two years longer than
the pre-war life span.
Of the 17,500,O0O increase in
population since the 1910 census, a.
bout 10 per cent was attributed to
immigration.
Another census bureau report
said there were 38,537,O0O families
in the U. S. in April this year COM
pared with 32,166,00O at the time
of the 1910 census.

Tp0LLER5 TO ASK
 FOR NEW GRIDIR0N

Need for a new gridiron to ac- commcdate the increased number of fish boats in Juneau harbor will be discussed with Frank Metcalf of the Highway Engineering De- partment by committee of three men of the United Trollers of AL aska.
 Plans drawn up by the city en- gineer were presented recent UTA meeting. which, if passed by the territorial board, will accommodate from 10 to Is boats, with all piling and timbers to be creosoted.
 Fishermen also ask an electric meter system for light and heat. Cost of these improvements will come from the fuel tax paid to the territory by the fishermen for har- bor purposes, it is said.
 City taxpayers have supported the small boat harbor several years, at a cost of some $50,o00.
 Southeast Alaska has benefited greatly from fuel tax money, with prospects good for Juneau harbor to benefit greatly in the future.
 The committee consists of Carl Weidman, O. G. Nolde and Andy Barlow.
