Something The Mississippi Negro
Can Applaud

Thoughtful Negro citizens of Mississippi, despite
the present adamance the question of civil rights
and the school problem will find something we'll worthy
of applause in the decision of Governor P Coleman,
along with other elected officials and authorized Demo-
Party leaders of the state to support the candidates
nominated by the Democrat National Convention for
President of the United States.
In spite of the current preoccupation with the ques
ton of civil rights the worst condition presently effect
ing the Mississippi Negro is economic, and likewise the
condition effectng the state OF MISSISSIPPI is
economic.
In 1948 when the leaders of the Democrat Party in
the state joined in the formation of the socaed Dixie
crat Party to oppose the election of President Truman,
mainly the question of civil rights the subsequent
election of President Truman caused the state to lose
the patronage of the Democrat Party, and likewise
the election of President Eisenhower in 1852 has meant
little nothing patronage wise, effectng the eco
n0mc condition of the Mississippi Negro and of the
measured by the economic development in other
states, influenced by political patronage during the
period.
In other southern states during the same period in
fuenced by political patronage hundreds of millions OF
dollars have been spent in the erection of all kinds of
manufacturing plants and military installations, pay
rolls of hundreds of millions of dollars have been thus
created in the states while nothing of the kind has

In Big Drive

Greenville, Alabama Presi-
dent T. M. Patton, Lomax-Hannon
College, located here, announced
this week, that the trustees of the
college had authorized financial
drive to raise 100000, which
would be used to complete some
of the rooms in the administration
building, which has been under
construction for some time.
The prexy said it was very nec-
essary that the money be raised at
once so that the rooms would be
available by the time the school
opens September 8. A report show
ed that checks were coming in, but
not in such proportions as to as
sure that the rooms will be COM
pleted. President Patton called
upon the membership of the A.M.E
Zion Church and other interested
persons to aid this worthy cause.
Lomax-Hannon is one of the Sec
ondary schools of the denomina-
ton and is supported by the church
It is said to be aiding considerably
in making it possible for the chill
dren of that section to get an edu-
cation. Those who would like to
aid the cause are asked to make
their checks payable to Lomax-

schools and other agencies seeking
competent, well trained Americans
able to contribute something of
value to African economic and ed
vocational progress.
Americans in turn are afforded
an. opportunity to live and work
with people of culture entirely
different from their own, with loc-
ally approved salaries and working
conditions.
Mr.. Murphy stressed that the
Institute conducts a thorough in
vestigation of applicants holding
degrees of specialized training
fields where the need is thought
acute before a referral is made.
The Institute undertakes to protect
both school and applicant in the
initial stages of referral, but does
not presume to make recommenda-
tions or decision for either.
According to Mr.. Murphy, the
idea of adding a placement service
to the scope of the Institutes pro-
gam came as the result of recent
survey, made after numerous re-
quests had been received from
schools in various parts Of East
and West Africa for Americans
qualified to teach and handle jobs
requiring technical skills. He said
the Institute believes the program
can do much to stimulate interest
and better mutual understanding
between Africans and Americans.

Europe Press Halls
Stevenson Victory

London, Eng, Aug. Fl - Euro
pean newspapers have hailed Adlai
E. Stevenson as the Democratic
Party's strongest choice for the
presidential contest, and some gave
him a good chance of winning.
The newly nominated Democratic
candidate, whose wit and eloquence
widely impressed Europeans in the
1852 campaign, was described by
the London liberal newspaper Star
as "a formidable contender for the
presidency"
president Eisenhower and the
Republicans must be eying him
anew as an arrival who has be-
come a champion" the Star said.
Wit, Erudition Lauded
Correspondent Don Iddon of the
conservative Daily Mail wrote from
Chicago that if Mr.. Eisenhower
should have another illness, "even
mild Influenza" Mr.. Stevenson
would win the election "and hand
somely." He said Mr.. Stevenson's
nomination would be good news
for Britain" and praised the candi-
date for wit, polish, and erudition.
Mr.. Iddon also said that former
President Truman"s influence in
the Democratic Party "has melted
like an ice cube" following his un-
successful support of Averell Harri-
man as Democratic nominee. His
view was echoed by Alistair Cooke
of the liberal Manchester Guard
ian, who said Mr.. Truman's brief
fling at dictatorship has left him
a humble citizen of Independence,
Missouri, enjoying all the party
prestige of Juan Peron."
Dutch evening papers gave large
front-page prominence to Mr.. Stew
enson's nomination and said they
welcomed the choice.

the educational opportunities of his
youth he became highly regarded
for his scholarship and knowledge,
especially as regards the history
and tradition of his church and
aside from formal degrees he was
the recipient of a long list of hon
orary degrees.
His remarkable career as the
states most outstanding AME
Churchman is attested to by the
fact that he has been the right hand
man of long succession of Bish-
ops who have presided over the 9th
Episcopal r'~-'';"+ and as Chan
cellor Cam bell College, It is his
work for Campbell College more
than anything else that contributes
to his outstanding career. In the
ups and downs of the institution, in
its worst years, it was Rev. Hair
more than any other AME Church
man in the state who worked indie
fatigably for the college to put it
on its present high road to sue
cess.
1t was the character, astuteness,
and integrity of Rev. Hair which
kept open the avenues of credit and
contact with the banks and bust
ness community of Jackson with
out which the program of the
church and Campbell College could
not have developed to its present
state. He was the Treasurer of the
District at his death.
He has to his credit the building
of several of the outstanding chur-
hes in the state, and greatly in
creasing the value of church prop
erty in the state.
In point of service Rev. Hair
was the oldest Presiding Elder in
the State of Mississippi, if not
in the entire African Methodist
Episcopical Church. For many
years he served as the Presiding
Elder of the Jackson District, and
at his death was the presiding
elder of the East Mississippi Dis
trict.
His career which lead him, on
several recent occasions, to seek
the high office of Bishop brought
him recognition as one Of its elder
statesmen, and made him widely
known and highly respected
throughout the church.
