SEE RECORD ATTENDANCE FOR
MISSISSIPPI NEGRO STATE FAIR
OPENING HERE MONDAY, OCT. is
Exhibits To Be Best In Many Years

A record attendance is what of
ficials have predicted for the 1850
exposition of the Mississippi Ne
gro State Fair which opens here
Monday for a five days showing
at the Negro State Fair Grounds.
The Wallace Brothers Shows
which will provide the midway at
fractions at the fair is bringing
bigger, better and more varied
type Of entertainment to the fair
this year than has been seen on
the midway in the entire history
of the fair.
Aside from the bigger and bet
ter and more varied midway at
fractions to be provided by the
Wallace Brothers shows, Henry
Young, secretary of the fair, in
predicting the bigger and best fair
this year, says that there will be,
far more exhibits than at any
time in the history of the fair.
Exhibits at the fair this year
will cover the full range of inter-
ests both in city, community and
rural life.

as well as individuals, have en-

law STUDENTS MAY BE FIRST
TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION
TO STATE UNIVERSITY
Failure OF Bar Examiners To Pass
Negro Applicant Hastens Move
STUDENTS EYE
PROGRESS IN OTHER STATES

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. TO-
DSN)-Predictions of number
of Negro student applicants to at
tend the University of Oxford have
become increasingly current here
since the State Board of Examin-
ers, a few days ago, published the
results of the July examination for
license to practice law in the state.
Included among those who took
the July examination were several
Negro students who have taken
the examination more than one
time; and graduate and honor
student of the Howard University
Law School, of Washington, D. C.
Neither of the Negro applicants
passed the examination. And the
July applicants point to the fact
that no Negro applicants have
been able to pass the examination
for the past few years, even
though number of the applicants
not only meet the full require
ments of the State Law for admis-
sion to the examination, but were
graduates, or had attended some
of the leading law schools of the
country.
Summing up the situation and
pointing to the fact that the grad
yates of the Law School of the
University of Mississippi are
granted licenses to practice law
without having to take the exam
ination. Those now seeking to OBJ
tain license to practice law in the
state see no other alternative to
study at the law school of the
University of Mississippi.
On the question of state aid to
attend an out-of-state school they
point out that graduating from an
out-of-state school, in the light of
the history of the bar examination
during the past several years,
would be of little help in getting
the license to practice law in the
state and certainly cannot be COM
pared with the University of Mis-
sissippi whose graduates get their
license without taking an exami-
nation.
1t was also pointed out that
while there is no possible chance
for Negro student in Mississippi
either at the undergraduate or
graduate levels to prepare himself
to become a lawyer, in several of
the states of the Deep South law
schools have been established for
Negroes and graduates get the
same recognition as graduates
from the white state law school.
In Louisiana, where law school
for Negroes has been established,
six members of the first gradual
ing class of 1919, were admitted

Negro Democr
Approve Open
Party In Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. o.
(ANP)-The Negro Democrats of
Arkansas last week officially an
nounced their approval of the re-
cent action opening the Arkansas
Democratic party to Negroes,
taken recently by the state con-
vention.
Although the word white" was
eliminated from the requirements
for membership, certain other anti
Negro sections remained a part of
the party creed.
One section puts the state party
officially against intermarriage
between the races and another adj
vocates the perpetuation of seq
regation Of the two races.
These clauses were allowed to
remain as part Of the party set
of principles to avoid too much
conflict at the meeting itself.
OF the dropping Of the racial
clause, DR.. J. M. Robinson, pres
ident Of the Negro Democrats
said:
"To the Negro it represents the
realization of a long dream and
challenge to the future"
He related, however, that he
was going to work to have the
state party principles agree with
those Of the national party.

FOUL PLAY hint IN CASE OF
Delta FAMILY FOUND DEAD In
BURNED PLANTATION CABIN
Question Youth In Effort To Fix Crime

GREENVILLE, Miss. Oct. IL
(DSN) = The National spotlight,
because the nation still remember
ed the celebrated Attala County
Massacre in which a Negro farm
family was shot to death by three
white convicts, was focused on this
section of the Mississippi Delta
this week following the finding
of the bodies Of three members OF
a Negro family in the burned down
cabin where they made their home
on the Delta Pine and Land Com
pany Plantation at Scott, fourteen
miles north of Greenville last We'd
nesday.
Despite the still fresh memories
of the Attala County Massacre, and
the hint Of foul play, intensive in
vestigation, both among whites and
Negroes, revealed no racial angle
to the case.
The three bodies found in the
burned down cabin were identified
as those of Eugene Brown, his %
year old wife, Mrs. Ethel May
Brown, their two-year-old daugh-
ter.
The Browns were tenant Farm
ers on the Delta and Pine Land
Company plantation.
A Coroner's Jury returned a
verdict to the effort that the
Browns met their death at the
hands of parties unknown.
The circumstance which lead to
the suspicion of foul play was the
fact that investigation revealed
that the fire started about seven
o'clock in the morning. An hour
when Brown a tenant farmer had
always been at work. The cabin
in which the Browns lived was
located about 200 yards from the
levee and that there are neighbors
within 200 to 300 yards Of the
cabin.
The bodies were. so badly burn
ed that the immediate cause of
death could not be established.
Shortly after the finding of the
three bodies the Bolivar County
Sheriff Office began and intensive
investigation in order to establish
the crime.
David King, a 20-year-old farm
er worker was picked up on suspic-
ion, and early this week was still
being held although Deputy Sheriff
Jack Hendricks, after questioning
King expressed doubt as to him
having any knowledge Of the case.

HARRISBURG, H., Oct. 9 =
(ANP)-The Harrisburg Junior
High school opened it's doors to
Negroes for the first time, last
week. The school board changed its
policy of the past in compliance
with a state law which prevents
the awarding of state aid to school
systems that segregate its Negro
students.
In the past Negro students at
tended the Jimcrow Lincoln School
up to the eighth grade. Some were
admitted to the eighth grade of the
Junior High this semester, and
others are to be admitted to the
7th grade at the Junior High next
year.
A special Negro committee re-
quested the city to change its
policy.

When it comes to balanced farm
ing and conserving his soil, Jack
Crump of Lloyd, Fla, has the an
swers, says a report received last
week by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture from the Florida State
Extension Service.
Mr.. Crump, a SIS, 000-a-year
livestock, poultry, and truck crop
farmer, counts on no single crop
for his income. At the same time,
he keeps an eye on the conserva-
ton of his land, says the report.
Two years ago, he was named
Florida's champion colored conser-
walton farmer.
A look at Mr.. Crump's cropping
program shows that he raises a
variety of products: cattle, hogs,
turkeys, sweet potatoes, water
melons, cabbage, turnips, onions,
and other truck crops. He stopped
growing cotton in 1913. 81 figure
cotton takes too much labor and
it's hard on my land" says Mr.
Crump.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crump started out
as tenants on his fathers farm
shortly after his return from World
War I. At first, he was afraid ia
venture away from home because
Of his health. Poison gas had TAX
en- one of his lungs during the
war.
However, by 1924, he felt suffi-
GENTLY strong to go into farming
on a somewhat larger scale. Scrap.
