greatest ambitions had been to re-
turn to Africa and spend his last
days among the people he loved so
well at Klay Industrial Mission,
Klay, Liberia. DR.. Jones was born
April Is, 1879, just outside the
present city limits of Jackson,
northeast of the Fondren commun-
ity. In 1893, he entered Jackson
College, which was then situated
on the present site of Millsaps Col
lege, to study the ministry. Soon
after his graduation from Jackson
College, he studied for the ministry
in Chicago and later sailed for
Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa.
His is one-man's story of So
year struggle against ignorance,
poverty, disease and natural forces.
President Reddix of Jackson State
College says "Dr. Jones went out
to Africa alone, except for God and
q lew dCNpISu 1KIcluS WIlO nave
stuck by him through the years.
He had no powerful mission board
or other organization behind his
efforts. He established the Klay
Industrial Mission at Klay, LIZ
IBERIA, West Africa. For over 80
years, the Mission has been a self
supporting project where DR.. Jones
has taught the people how to farm,
how to escape disease, how to live
better, and how to find their way
to God. Although his work is small
in comparison with other mission
airy efforts in Africa, his work
illustrates what one man, working
with God, can do for a great cause.
DR.. Jones half century of service
to Africa represents, insofar as /
can find, the longest period of con-
tinuous service as a missionary in
the Continent of Africa"
Interment was at Mt. Olive Gem
etery with arrangement in charge
of Peoples Funeral Home.

Facing The Challenge

Next week will mark the anniversary of the Negro
press which had its beginning with the publishing of
Freedoms Journal back in 1927.
Freedoms Journal in those days-and as short
lived as it was-was outstanding fighter for civil
rights and the brotherhood of man.
There has been no slackening in the pace since.
Today, Negro newspapers in the forefront of
the struggle for equal rights Their approach differs
from paper to paper but the main objective-equally
in our time-iS never lost.
The modern Negro newspaper, additionally, must
wrestle with the cost problems that shaking
the industry. And, there those who question: in
deed if the Negro press will survive in view of the
staggering load.
There are students of the passing scene too, who
maintain that the advent of desegregaton will hasten
the death of Negro journalism the theory that such
publications will have no place in desegregated So
ciety.
This brings us to the problem it was recently dis
cussed by DR.. Armstead S. Pride head of the Lincoln
University school of journalism. Writing in the current
issue of the Gazette Dutch publication Dr. Pride said
there is immediate prospect of complete shutdown of
Negro newspapers in the United States.
ut is extremely unlikely that desegregation will
bring utopia in America" he wrote.
Evils in the areas of race, creed and color are
possibly going to reemerge in the order in more
subtle and sophisticated DISCUSSES.
There will be uncomely and unseemly reminders of
the Negroes secondclass citizenship, of the Jim Grow
laws and of slavery long after segregation has been
wiped away in schooling, entertainment, employment,
marriage, housing, transportation and recreation"
He concluded that Negro editorial opinion will need
to exercise tits sharpest thinking and most astute
craftsmanship to combat the disease of group par
TALLY"
Using DR.. Pride's beliefs yardstick, it would
appear that there is need for Negro journalism today
and for generations to come
AS long there is to fight for there will be
use for the dissemination of news and opinions and
to that degree the need for Negro newspapers will hard
ly to exist
That is why Negro newspapers today are accepting
their responsibility with added sobriety and zest
In general, they healthy, articulate and
worthy as they were in the days of John Russwurm.

On The Alcorn College Students Strike

Every man who says frankly and fully what he
thinks is so far doing public service We should be
grateful to him for attacking most unsparngy most
cherished opinions
The Alcorn College strike involving the NAACP
and its activities has provoked widespread discussion
among Negro citizens in the state with the most vocal
spokesman for the NAACP minority at least until Roy
Wilkins rather belaedy spoke out urging the students
return to their classes inclined towards uphoding and
praising the students action.
We are unwilling to concede that there exists among
the students of AcOrn College the wisdom and pround
ty to Justify in pointing out that their action amount
ed to denial of Freedom of Speech to Prof King which
one of the great bedrocks in the foundation upon
which the nation rests is the thing that has per-
mitted the growth of the NAACP and allowed it's lead
to be the most vocal spokesman among members of
the
Nor do propose to give place here to the argu-
ments of some which has to attention that
what Prof. King wrote would have been alright had
some other member of the college faculty been privileged
to voice the opposite view give absolutely
credence to the argument that willing to ad-
vance behalf of the Negro Viz that two wrongs added
up makes right
Commenting here on another less recent strike of
Negro students expressed the opinion that the main
purpose of college is not much that of providing
learning that of providing discipline and inspiration
to its students and further that definition for edu
cation is that of providing discipline and inspiration
Taking the opportunity to disgress somewhat at
this point noticed in press reports that Prime Min
lister Nkrumah of the newly created alNegro State of
Ghana in Africa, in praisng his alma mater, Lincoln
University emphasized that fact that it there that
he received the Discipline" which he points to a re-
SpOnSb for his the leader of the Gold Coast
to it's browning achievement, and his the first all
Negro State in the British Commonwealth of Nations.
Unwilling to cOncede the students the
knowledge and understanding to appreciate the magn
tude of the problem which confronts the race the
South, and the nation the Alcorn college strike
as nothing more than complete break down of dis
clplne at the college the maintenance of which, is
the primary responsibility of the President and the
berS of the faculty.

marks still another transformation
in the worldwide position of the

There is JOY among the people Of

they have attained their freedom.

Tries To Buy
Mixed Farm
In Georgia

Americas, Ga. - A 70-car motor
cade of Ku Klux Klaners stormed
into the interacially operated Koi-
nonia Farm after holding a rally
eight miles away last week and
demanded that the owners sell the
farm in order to end the harmon

Negroes enjoy on this Southwest
Georgia corporation.
Koinonia Farm was founded ID
wears ago as a non-profit, nom
UNCONVENTIONAL corporation, where
no race bars exist and whites and
Negroes work, play and live to-
gether.
However, three spokesman for
the xxx invaded the sanctity of
the communal farm and met with
farm representatives insisting that
they be allowed to buy the prop
erty. The farm for the past six
months has been the target of nu-
merous violence and acts of vandal-
ism. Koinonia has been Quilted by
bullets, bombs, burnings and an
economic boycott by racists from
this and other Georgia counties.
Norman Long, work coordinator
at the farm, said he told the uni

that members were ready to dis
cuss "any suggestion with anyone
about our life here and what is

LET THE LORD LEAD YOU, HE
WILL LEAD TO SUCCESS
You will break mans law today
When you yoke the milk COW
And don't you know you will break
it
When you give the women the
power.
Woman was made from the rib of
man
Ever since woman started to in
crease the land
Then you put her into the law
And now it is He'll in the land.
Ever since Sampson got his hair
cut off
It's a very few women not trying
to be boss
Nurses are training most of the
children
And this world will soon be lost.
The city is building many houses
And building black top streets
Thousands moving from the
country
Without loaf of bread to eat.
Lights on every corner you see
And black topping on all the
streets
People moving from the country
Without loaf of bread to eat.
When the Lord created the Heaven
and Earth
And said lest make a man
Adams was the man he made
From the dust of the earth of
this land.
No dust is white unless it is lime
or sand .- -.. .-.4
God created Heaven and all of the
Earth
Next thing as | see he made was

Then he made Eve the Glory of

AS l can see Look Life in the

God made one Glory for man
l am sorry he stop making the
Glory
Ever since he stop He'll raising has
been in the land.
God left this world in the hands
of man
He didn't tell the woman he told
the man
I have given you the power to rule
the land
Man gave woman the power and
this world can't stand.
So if you're not going to do as
God has said
Why not you step down and out
And allow men to rule the world
And keep these women all out.
