Carver Was Benefactor;
Saved Agricultural South

was not only the greatest Negro
who ever lived, but he was also
a benefactor of mankind. He
gave the great southland new
lease on life by bringing it eco
nomic stability through devel-
opment of the humble peanut.
Born in 1864, near Diamond,
Missouri, his slave parents
could not know they were Civ
ing America one of its foremost
scientists. At tender young
age he was carried away from
his home by a band of raiders,
in the last year of the Civil
War.
His new master sent trader
back to the vicinity of the Dia
monds to try and purchase
young Carver s parents, but his
mother had disappeared. Beeom-
ing i'll with whooping cough,
the young lad was returned
to his former home-a Mr..
Carver, who gave young George
his name, did his apparent best
to educate the lad.
Working on neighborhood
farms, he studied an old speller,
and went one year to the rural
school. He worked nine years
as domestic servant, saving
his money for his education, He
entered high school at Mime
apolis, Kansas. For three years
he managed a laundry and
saved sufficient funds to pay
his way through College, at
Indianola, Iowa. Later he en-
tered Iowa College, at Ames,
where he made his first real
study of the sciences that we're
to later bring him international
acclaim.
This humble Negro boy, born
of ignorant parents. rose to the
highest pinnacle of scientific
fame. Appearing before the
Congress of the United States
while tariff bill was being
considered he persuaded the
Ways and Means Committee
to enact legislation which would
protect the then expanding in
dustry which had sprung up
through sixty-five new uses of
the peanut-all of them dis
covered by DR.. Carver, although
he modestly refrained from
mentioning this fact to the
Committee.
His marvellous research gave
the human family over one
hundred new products from the
sweet potato, sixty articles of
value from the pecan, sixty
five useful items from the pea
nut, and innumerable dyes from
southern clay.
Like all truly great men, DR..
Carver was modest and humble.
With profound faith lin guild
ance of Divine Wisdom, this
imminent Negro scientist was
perhaps the most respected man
of his generation. Apparently
unconscious of any racial dis
tinction, he mingled with white
scientists in high places, always
finding the most cordial well
come. Although he won every
honor that could be conferred
upon an American scientist,
and was a Fellow of the Royal
Academy of Scientists of Eng
land. these honors did not keep
him from working in the fields
of the southland with the most
humble Negro tenant farmer,
for whom he did so much.
Walking humbly before God
George Washington Carver po-
sessed the humility of the truly
great. At the time of his death,
January 5, 1913, he was
mourned by more important
people than any other Ameri-
can ever attracted in death.
Monuments have been erected
to his memory, but the cold
stone of statuary can never
take the place of George Wash
ington Carver in the shrine
of Americas devotion TO his
memory.

widow, defrauded Of her home
and much of her property by her
pastor recently, regained her
home here last week when the
Circuit court ordered him to move
out of it.
Judge Cornelius j. Harrington
ordered the Rev. John S. Holly
and his wife to move out of the
home of Mrs. Ethel Wilson, wild
ow of the late Sonny Wilson, we'll
known Chicago sportsman. Rev.
and Mrs. Holly moved out of the
home this week.
This action ended two years of
court battling between Mrs. Will
son and Rev. Holly. Still pending
is Mrs. Wilson's suit against the
preacher in Michigan over her
Michigan estate, also taken over
by the minister.
1t all began at the time of her
husbands death in 1913 when she
became i'll and was not expected
to recover. At that time Rev.
Holly "gave close attention to her
religious needs" including ''regul-
ar prayers during her Illness"
Mrs. Holly then suggested that
she wanted to give her property
to Rev. Holly's church, the Apos-
tolic Holiness church of which she
was a member. Legal arrangement
for such action was made for
them by a downtown lawyer, FIRE.
derrick M. Turner.
She signed a quit claim deciding
her Chicago real estate to the
minister and also a bill of sale of
her household furniture to Rev.
and Mrs. Holly. She was told these
would not become effective until
her death and would operate as a
will.
Later, the pastor moved into the
home claiming that he would as
sumo all expenses and take care
Of the property. In 1947, however,
the widow recovered from her ILL
ness and learned that he had ia
ken out a mortgage on the proper
ty without her knowledge.
Not long afterwards she filed
suit against the minister. Judge
Harrington gave his decree two
months ago pending the ~presenta-
ton of a $4,000 s~upersedeas bond

presented in court this week. but

Negro, White
Republicans Take
Fight To Court


JACKSON, Miss. (ANP) Open
fighting between Negro, and
white so-called Republicans of
Mississippi hit the courts last
week when the Negro group filed
suit against the whites in Kinds
Circuit court.
Plaintiffs in the suit led by
Perry Howard are seeking by
court action to regain their name,
the Mississippi Republican party
from the whites, formerly the In
dependent Republican party.
The Negro faction is popularity
called the "Black and Tan" group,
and the whites are termed the eli
ly Whites"
Although the Black and Tans
legally have registered in Mississi-
ppi as the Mississippi Republican
since 1872, they lost their name
this year because of a new act
passed by the state legislature.
This act prohibits any political
group from officially registering
under a name or any part of a
name of a previously registered
party. This year the Lily Whites
registered with Secretary of State
Heber Ladner under the name pre-
viously used by Towards group.
By registering first the whites
have made it impossible under the
states new law for the Black and
Tans to ever register as Republi-
cans. The plaintiffs also are seek
ing to have this law declared un-
constitutional.
For years, according to the
plaintiffs, from 1928 until now,
the Lily Whites constantly have
sought to get the name, Mississippi
Republican party, through courts
and the National Republican party,
but have failed until this registra-
ton trick.
Plaintiffs in the case, all Ne
groes, are Howard, national com
mitteeman of the Black and Tan
group; Mary Montgomery Booze.

President Favors
Home Rule
BY Alice A. Dunnigan

WASHINGTON (ANP)- Re-
sidents of the District of Column
bia should have the same right to
vote and participate in the shap-
ing Of this great democratic gov
eminent as any other citizens of
the nation implied President Tru-
man last week.
At his press conference held in
the Old State Department build
ing last Thursday, the President
told newsmen that he would like
to see the District get home rule.
This statement came as a re-
ply to a reporters question, ask
ing Mr.. Truman what he thought
of home rule and what could be
done to hurry-up Congressional
action on the bill.
With a smile the President said
he would like to see the home
rule bill get action as quickly as
the post office bill, although he
opposed the latter.
Mr.. Truman was referring to
postal service curtailmen. mea-
sure which passed the House last
Wednesday by a vote of 264 to
108. This bill proposed that the
order of the Postmaster General
to curtail certain postal services
be rescinded and the delivery of
city mail be put back on a twice
a day schedule.
The bill was introduced in the
House on Wednesday and passed
the following day. It is now up to
the Senate to have the final say
on the order. The bill has passed
the Senate committee but there is
no sign for an immediate vote
vote from the Senate itself.
The Home rule bill to which the
President referred would give the
citizens of Washington the fran
chise and thereby the right to
have a voice in it's own govern
ment. It has passed the Sena5e
and is not bottled-up in the House
District committee. The discharge
petition which has been in circu-
lation for several months now has
205 signatures from members OF
the House of Representatives.
If 218 Congressman, which is
more than half of the total mum
Der of representatives, should sigr
the petition, the bill would have
to be discharged from the com
mittee and brought to the flool
for vote.
