Read. s * ? Wine is a? mocker, strong drink is still raging in Georgia. * * * The race would derive more benefit by our ever boosting every racial en terprise rather than "knocking" a few. They are all ours. * ? * School days are nearly here, when every child of school age should enter some school and attend regularly until the school closes. It is the duty of parents and guardians to see that this is done. i * * * Augusta, Georgia's, crackers did a great piece of work last week when they burned; the lifeless form of the Negro who committed the outrageous crime of killing three and wounding eigth white men. * * ? To withhold offices from Negroes in the South because of local objections is merely to; encourage or suggest the same elsewhere. An office is merely an agency made necessary by the pres ence and activities of the people-in which Negrpes play important parts -a fact fori which President Harding doesn't give j a snap of the finger now that he is in' the White House. In Atlant^, Ga., the Negroes have a real Business League in which they work together, and have brought such results as a block of business building's ont Auburn j Ave., in which Negroes are really doing business. One is a tfery brick^^ucture with a several 'yearew^ccessful op eration. Inj another block just above is the Citizen's Trust Company, cap italized at $500,000. Not only is this true of Atlanta, 4>ut in every other city where ijfegroes are organized they are bringing about results that mean advancement for the race. * * * The best ! method a business man can use to lose friends and create strong enemies against his business is that of crediting some people, some times his best friends. Their methods to harm your business will be to not pay honest bills and discontinue spend ing their cash with said business firms. This is true as it relates to firms of our group, ?but to the others they are loyal and true. To this fact there are many enterprises of our group who will say, an^enl The Indicator knows whereof it j speaks, for many have been pointejd out to us with remarks of disappointment and disgust. * * * The whit? Baptist minister at Swan sea who seemed to have given his con gregation 4uite an uplifting sermon last Sunday night on "The Mind of the Mob," l^d the way, that if all white ministers would follow would do very much to lessen mob rule in the South. The Indicator has long since been listening fj^r the white ministers to play their (important part in the pro gram ot eliminating mob\ rule and lawlessness through their pulpits. One has waded! out into the deep and we think it isja fine course for all others to pursue.! The Indicator takes off its hat to I this minister, whoever he is, and prky that others will follow suit. ! i * * S The Indicator called attention a few weeks ago| to the poor school accom modation ?provided for Negro youths in this city, using the old dilapidated Howard school building as the main subject wjth the suggestion that the ministers,bf the city take some steps' to have tjie city fathers and school j commissiopers better conditions. Upi to this writing we have heard of no j efforts beikg put forth in this cause. If the ministers and leading laymen} and women continue to keep silent on j this very ! important matter we fear j conditions! will long remain as they ? ar? and Negro youths will be made to : continue iiji danger and neglect because ? of our neglectfulness to them. ? We should now arise and assert our j rights as ipen and women or hereafter j hold our pjeace when imposed upon in : other mattjers, local and national. The information is ours with a cer tainty that the Baptist presidential timber is on the increase. We do not claim this to be true but we do know that there can be more honor seekers than seekers of duty. We dare not say this is true and truly hope that all of the aspirants are but wrapped up in the sacred duties of that high of fice. It is now passing strange that men up in Baptist circles eyes are just open to what should be done by a president of the State convention this, too, by men who were right next to the head and saw as well as those lower down that the affairs of the denomination were suffering for lack of proper plan ning and team work. And just now, because a change has come, and the opportunity for others to get high honors, it can be so clearly eeen that the present incumbent is not running over the State and doing more than any of his predecessors. The Indicator (like many others) is of the opinion that this campaigning for the presidency of the State conven tion is a most opportune time to di vide the working forces and cripple the work; for some favor the present incumbent merely on the grounds that he represents one wing of the National convention while others are boosting another because he represents the other and in many cases this is being done under cover while the other friv iious reasons are brought out. Advancing the Baptist cause in this State should have long ago been the highest ambition of every Baptist in the State. Why at this late day must there be such a rude awakening? Has it been men heretofore rather than measures? A figurehead can stand at the head of Baptist affairs in this State and carry out the orders and dictates of a live executive board and accom plish the wishes of the denomination to a successful end. And is it not true that the president and the executive board have the affairs of the denomi nation in charge until the convention assembles? What assistance is the board lending Dr. Earle? What sug gestion has it offered him or order given that he has refused to carry out? If any put him down and try another, otherwise he is entitled to a man's chance and the hope will be brighter with less eruptions. CHESTER PARAGRAPHS. _ % Mrs. Mattie L.
