those who formed and are carry
ing through government policy
Of jim-crow and segregation, with
its vice and ridden ghet-
tos, with it's brutal police who play
the role of storm troopers among
the Negro people. The Courier's
attack is not upon the lynchers.
but upon the organization that for
five and half years modified
the people of the U. S. and the
world in an effort to save the life
of the inocent Willie MCGEE.
In its attack, the Courier uses
the name of that heroic woman.
Josephine Baker, with which to
launch it's underhanded assault.
This too is not foreign to the UNI
principled role that newspaper has
played throughout its life.
At its head is one of the leading
Negro quislings, George Schuyler,
whose attacks upon his people
gladden. every lyncher's heart and
are quoted with praise by the
Dixiecrats."

The Lanier Club of Chicago is a
non-profit organization, duly char
tered by the Great State of Illinois,
dedicated to foster better rela-
tionship between all former Stu
dents and Graduates Of Lanier
high School of Jackson, Miss. The
Constitution of the Club provides
chat at Graduation time one Scho-
larship be given to the Student with
the best Scholastic average, and
one Scholarship be given to the
Student adjudged the best Athlete
in the Graduating Glass. These
Scholarships are to be given an
nually. The long range plans of the
Club are to finance four years of

At the last meeting of the Club.
President Humes, gave a highly in
teresting travelogue of his recent
trip to Jackson, the high points of
the Presidents report, was that of
informing the Club of the fact that
there would be New Lanier High.
These surprising words left the
Club speeches., momentarily, as
the Old Lanier meant so much to
so many of us, and for sentimental
reasons this New .Lanier seemed in
credible. After much comment, the
group voiced this sentiment, "Pro-
gress must go on, resolution was
passed, Be it resolved, 1.-THE Lanier
Club of Chicago, would attend the
Dedication Ceremonies of the New
Lanier High School, whenever they
are held.

pointed out that the annual appro-
priation of 100000 provided for
the college by the state legisla-
ture was intact for next year and
with the income from student en-
rollment made up the college bud
get.
In asserting that the action was
also based on the fact that the
college has been long over-staffed
the president pointed to the recent
former study which showed, with
the exception of Delaware and
Maryland, that the student load
per teacher at Alcorn was the
lowest of that of any other college
in the South.
In concluding his remarks the
president said that the records of
the college would support the need
for such action and stated that
the records would be opened to
anyone who wanted to get at the
truth regal ding the situation.
The president also said that in
one or two cases dismissals had
become necessary because of UNI
compromising differences between
the individuals involved and the
president over the administrative
policy of the college.
Listed among those dismissed OF
dropped from the staff of the col
lege are five (5) in the mainten-
ance department; five (5) in the
department of mechanical indus
tries, which included Prof. Pete
AmmOns, 0. 0. Williams, Quinn,
Ellis, and Coleman; in the depart
ment of education, Miss NJ. c..
Sloan and Miss Mary Whiteside;
in the agriculture department,
Prof. M. M. Garner, and in the

The occasion was a mass meet
ing called for the purpose Of for

County Negro Democratic Club.
Elected to head the permanent or
ganization were Levye Chapple,
chairman; DR.. T. w. Kennard.
vice chairman; VIM. H. Greene
secretary; DR.. N. R. Frisby, treas
urer.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Coleman High School
Chorus under the direction of Miss
Herticine Jones.
Mr.. Greene in his address which
lasted more than an hour, called
upon his hearers to select a new
leadership. A leadership with the
vision, courage and ability to chart
its followers in the right direction
f. gaining for the Negroes all
the rights enjoyed by every other
race, thus contributing to greater
democracy in Mississippi, in the
United States, and in the world.
He dashed out at the Republican
party and held it responsible for
the Negroes failure to obtain high
offices in the government. On the
other hand, he held that during
the past ten years, under the
Democratic regime, the Negroes
had received more high govern
ment positions and enjoyed more
freedom than all of the other years
since the emancipation.
The scholarly journalist dis
PEELED the idea of Communism
getting hold of the Negro mind.
He said that Negroes knew abso-
lutely nothing about communism,
and urged them to continue to lean
on their belief in the power of God
and righteousness. He recognized
the fact, however, that Negroes
in Greenville, Washington county,
Mississippi, and everywhere else
were becoming increasingly a.

William L. Patterson, Negro
leader Of the Civil Rights Con-
gress, declared in New York:
"Once again, the Pittsburgh
Courier stands revealed as a lying
tool of the oppressors of the Negro
people. The Courier is notorious
for its attacks OH the forces and
friends defending the Negro peo-
pie.
at must never be forgotten that
in 1881, when the 9 innocent Scots
boro Boys were arrested, and it
was obvious to all that the trial
was a frame-up, the Courier re-
ferred to them as 'rapists.'
1.-The international Labor De-
Tense proved their innocence and
freed them. The first attack of
the Courier was not upon the
lynchers but upon the Negro
youths themselves and Later on the
LID, the organization through
whose efforts the youth were freed.

ible for this as a result of advo-
eating and proclainling democracy,
the four freedoms and freedom

a period of rs years.
Mr.. Greene closed his address
with a stern warning to his hear
ers to "stop getting mad" and
"start getting smart"
The next meeting of the Demo-
cratic club will be held at Miller

Parish STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: | heard something here
the other day which served to in
crease my knowledge of what il is
that has been keeping Amt Hag-
gar's Chilluns down here in ole
Mississipy 50 far behind the Chill
huns of the tribe, everywhere else
down here in the land o. Cotton.
1t was about the State Meeting of
the Conference of NAACP Branch
es here the other day, and a Big
Negro Preacher Tin his own esti-
r'"tion If not in that os ANYBODY
else) who when asked to register
at the meeting said that the folks
III his congregation would think
him crazy if they even thought he
was supporting the NAACP, and
refused to put up the One Dollar
for registration, although he stayed
throughout most of the meeting.
Since | heard what occurred Pm
sure glad that it was a public
meeting and that the folks who
were there don't care boot about
it being told Cup Town." about
what went on at that meeting. |
thought about that BIG NEGRO
PREACHER (the kind that we'd
be better off without) while | was
listening to a crowd of Parish
Streeters around their Fish and
Beer, as was me, talking about,
some really, sure enough and hon
st-to-God, BIG NEGROES, who
e alroadv paid FIVE HUN
DRIED ($5O0) Dollars for a Life
ambersnip in the NAACP
Like DR.. Ralph Bunche, DR.. Percy
Julian, Cab Galloway, Mdme
Betnune, Philip Randolph and Lio-
mel Hampton, and Duke Ellington,
lust to name a few :. and as |
thought Of the brother in question,
| didn't feel nearly as sorry for
him as | did for his congregation.
And one of these days | hope that
Amt Haggar's Chilluns down here
in Ole Mississipy will wake up
to the fact that any congregation,
and every member thereof, is be-
ing played for a fool, when they're
giving their money to self esti-
mated BIG NEGRO PREACHER,
who thinks he'd be a fool to give
support to the NAACP.
THAT OLE BIRD that carries
in his bill that little old heart
warming and family
bundle, left one the other day for
Mr.. and Mrs. Bonnie Coleman. that
popular young man and wife of
the staff of Jackson College. It's
a boy. The cigars were passed
around and everybody is well
and happy . and from up in the
Big Windy City comes word of
bundle left at the home of young
Mr. and Mrs. Nolen w. Tate.
She's the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tome Henderson, of West Maple
and Old Man Henderson is so hap
ply he liked to talked me to death
about his second grandson.

Thousands of people are going to

With the words we can't do bet
ter this time.
Gods calling for the pure in heart
to lead his people
So get the words can't do better
out of your mind.
God don't tell his people to make
out
He said he would make a way for
If we would expect his love
And stop all of this fuss.
Why allow your soul to be lost
Following these modern styles
today
God hide these things from the wise
Now how can they know the
way?

You might as well believe
God is warning you thru his men
Unless you obey the Holy Word
No way for US to stand.

And kill others from land to land.
