had launched his publishing en-
pire in 1928 with an Atlanta week
ly newspaper, pushed it to semi
weekly in 1881. and, in which year,
he organized affiliated newspapers
at Birmingham, Chattanooga and
Columbus, Georgia. Quickly the

features not before known to the
Negro press.
Not long thereafter, W. A.
Scott started The Memphis World

neer of the Negro press invented a
Negro newspaper pattern that has
endured down through the years.

although the printers ink might
have been in w. A. SCOTS blood,
he would have been q success in any

TAX COLLECTING
BORDER PATROLS
HIT IN DRAFT

BALTIMoRE-The use
of border patrols to en-
force the collection of
taxes on items such as
cigarettes and alcoholic
beverages is bitterly con-
demned in the Republican
platform up for adoption
by the State convention
here today.
The platform particu-
larly condemns "the prac-
tice of Maryland border
guards going into other
jurisdictions on shopping
missions" and promises to
eliminate by law the border
guard and similar
semblances of the police
state"
IF affected taxes cannot
then stand the test of their
own virtues and citizen
acceptance, they will have
to collapse under their own
weight" the platform
asserts.
The criticism of the bor-
der patrol was a direct at
tack on the operation of
