LEADERS SAY HUME WILL OUT
RIDE GROUP TO WIN REELECTION
AS President OF STATE
BAPTIST CONVENTION
L. S. SoneII, Jackson Pastor
Is Leading Opposition Candidate
Predict All-Time Record
Attendance At Clarksdale Meeting

There will be a hot time when the
general Baptist State Convention
of Mississippi holds its Annual
Meeting here July lila, such is
the prediction being heard through
out the State as leaders and Rank
and-file members of the organiza-
ton make ready to attend what
may turn out to be one of the most
significant if not unusual meet
ings in the history of the organi-
cation.
The predictions that there will
be hot time at the meeting here
are being made as the result of a
campaign, recently initiated to de-
feat Rev. HI. H. Hume, of Green
vile, Editor and Publisher of the
Delta Leader, in his bid for re-
election as president of the conven-
ton.
The move to defeat Rev. Hume
has the most unusual aspect of
having developed out of matter
entirely unrelated to the program
and business of the General Bap-
fist State Convention of Missis-
sippi.
In the background of the move
to defeat Rev. Hume is the bitter
controversy provoked over two
years ago between DIR. T. R. NJ.
Howard of Mound Bayou, and the
Knights and Daughters of Tabor,
after that organization failed to
reappoint DR.. Howard chief sur
geon of its Mound Bayou Hospital.
After the failure of the Knights
and Daughters of Tabor to reap
point him chief surgeon of its
hospital, which resulted in a glar-
ing split in the ranks of Tabor,
heading group of dissidents DIR.
Howard organized the United Or
der of Friendship of America, and
set out Immediately to make plans
to build its own hospital in the
town of Mound Bayou.

Hume, as Editor and Publisher of
the Delta Leader published letter

maximum of 10 years imprison-

$4,000 fine legal authorities told
the Jackson Advocate early this
week.
In pointing to the long prison
sentence and heavy fine to which
the principals in the case are sub
ject if found guilty, legal authori-
ties assert that the penalty in each
case would be based on section 2028,
vol 2, Mississippi Code, 1912 which
reads as follows:
If any officer, agent, or trustee
shall accept any gift, offer, or
promise, or if his wife, with his
knowledge and consent, shall ac-
cept any gift, offer, or promise
prohibited in the last section, he
shall on conviction, be forever dis
qualified from holding any public
office, trust, or appointment, and
shall forfeit his office if any he
holds, and be imprisoned in the
penitentiary not more than ten
years, or be find not. more than
five-thousand dollars, or both. Sec
ton 2028, Vol. 2, Code Miss. 1912.
AS the full weight and shock of
the expose settled upon the Negro
Community responsible Negro
leaders expressed deep concern
over the possibility that the incl
dent might be pointed out as a
reason for charging the occupant
of the position of Supervisor of
Negro schools from that of MEM

mot the slightest. That's the
worst OF it! But I'm always
imagining things. If my husband
has to so out in the evening on
business, tell myself it's a busi-
ness meeting. but I'm obsessed by
the idea that maybe it isn't. I'm
making myself miserable, and I'm
so ashamed of myself" She swal-
lowed hard and dabbed at her
eyes with handkerchief.
It's a common situation. There
may be many experiences in a
woman's early life which have
made her suspicious and fearful
which make her now expect that
any happiness will be only tenn
porary; make her think that some
one is always trying to take some
thing away from her. The coun-
selor started to re-educate Mrs. D.
by helping her to build up feel
ing of security which her parents
should have given her in child
hood.

How was this situation to be

accuse her husband? Should she
ignore it? No, she could never
do that! She must know the
worst. She would 60 home and
talk it over calmly with her hus-
band that evening. No scenes, no
hysteria. no denunciation - just
two adults discussing problem
that concerned them both.
This might not have been the
best move. if the husband had
been guilty. Since there was every
reason to suppose him innocent,
it was wise step. Next morning
she phoned the counselor.
He denied everything, she re-

that I couldn't help believing him.
