A Great Race Conference is
now a part of history for 1921.

Th? woman or girl of color who
can and does look a white man
salesman or what not, sternly in
the face and transact her busi
ness without a "grin" or un
necessary exchange of words as
other women do our men, the
sooner will that man regard her
more respectful and the more
wiil our men respect her and the
more will she be deserving o'i
highest respect.
"Loveless Love Blues."
Loveless Love Blues is the title
of the latest blues sung by W.
C. Handy, originator of the
blues idea, and better known by
"St. Leuis Blues" and "Memphis
Blues" which ar? known the
world ever. The Q. R S. Com
pany has made a roll of this
number featuring a colored
pianist, James P. Johnson of
New York City. Since January
1st six phonograph companies
have mads phonograph records
of "Loveless Love" as the words
are a novel construction and the
music characteristic of Mr; Han
dy, The chorus of "Loveless
Love" is written in Spanisn tem
po and carries a simple melody
as beautiful as "Silver Threads
Among The Gold." Thesecond
chorus is written in Jazz tempo
and is pronounced by all who
hear it as an innovation in the
song writing game.
Pace and Handy, Music Co
enjoys thi distinclion of being
of being the first to publish a
song with ths laughing trombone
and the first to put' over a song
with Mamie Smith in the records
and the first to lend dignity to
the Blues. This Company is do
ing a pioneer work which in th*
years to come will be pointed to
with pride by members of th?
race.
We Don't Agree.
The Indicator noted that re
presentatives Mason and Stab
ling of Anderdon are contending
th it certain parts of unsettled
aili ia Georgia be reclaimed ny
S uth Cirolina. We don't agree
with tbs gentlemen. South Car
* . .
jlina is too much like Georgia
now and being fearful that this
part of Georgia added to South
Carolina will also add to her dark
blots, we say let Georgia have
ihat sirip of land. Furthermore
werff'ii possible to annex Ander
sga, ^Abbeville, Hampton, Fort
vfttte and like places to the
black record of Geot g ia. The In
dicotor would legislate those
placeB to Georgia without, fur
ther procedure.
The Committee Appointed.
We had the pleasure last week
of calling the attention of our
[readers to The Hoy al Theatre, a
I "movie huuse" in this city eon
ducted by whites exclusively for
tne exclusive patronage ox Ne
groes. Th IB Theatre for some
time has been tee topic of dis
cussion among our people be
cause of the little recognition
given those who patronize it, ex
cept to come in great and still
greater numbers to patronize it.
This the Negroes of Columbia
dre tired doing and have really
resolved not to do so much Ung
er. For that reason we had a
tittle Bay last week and suggest
ed that before the leading minis
ters and business men of the city
took any steps to satisfy the dil
satisfied public, that the minis
cers who have the ears of the
people appoint a committee to
wait on the owmer and manager
and lay bare the desires of the I
peoole and if a deaf ear ia given
this committee then take such .
steps as the leading minda think
best.
We gladly say that in keeping
with our suggestion the inter
denominational Ministers Union
has appointed that committee
and the same is at work. We
hoping that this committee will
he able to make a favarable re
port back to the Union next Tues
day.
Just what the demands are
thar, this, committee will make
we do not know but we do know
that with the men of experience
and ability among us to manage
and operate the theatre in everv
branch they certainly ahould be
given positions and that the
theatre should be conducted on a
high order. Nothing lesa than
this should satisfy, nothing leas
than this should be granted.
i ^fengthftn Unidri.
Another step foward for .Co
lumbia's colored' citizenry is the
formulated plan for a large
Building and Loan Association te
help the masses. From first
hand information, this Organiza
tion is a certainty and is only a
matter of time to properly or
ganize which will be done next
Thursday night, February 24th,
at Zion Baptist Church. The
capital s ock is $50,000 at$50 00
per share. Many have already
subscribed for shares and many '
more will subscribe. This ia as
it should be It is high time
that our people in Columbia should
cooperate and combine their for
ces if we would get the recogni
tion desired
The indicator would urge every
colored man and woman to sub
scribe to the capital stock of thia
new concern and help to put it
into operation al once and here
after when we need money to
buy a home or pay for what we
have let's go to our own.
Let's meet at Zion next Thurs
day night.
The iatest introduction under
jim crowism in South Carolina ia
Et bill to jim crow pictures in the
atres That is a white picture
cannot be shown in a colored the
atre and vise versa if the bill ia
carried, And it seems to meet
with favor with the lawmakers;
for it has passed its third read
ng at this writing.
We now have jim crow publia
;arriers, jim crow churches, jim
?row stores, jim crow waiting
.ooms, jim crow clerks, etc., and
t seoms that now we are? to have
im crow pictures. Going some,
fou will have to move up Geor
gia.
Somehow or other during the
leat of the jim crow fever law
makers they overlook the main
3sues. Since jim crowism is the
isue we should like to read of
arried bills to prohibit white
len from owning and managing
olored theatres; one to prohibit
'hite lawyers from defending
legroes. one to prevent white
octors from practicing on Ne
mes, one to prevent white in
urance companies and white col
ic tors from insuring and collect
if from Negroes; one to prohib
, white clerks (especially female)
rom serving Negroes; one to.
rohibit white printers from re-)
siving printing from Negroes;

We Hope It ia Not True.
"Lord, you know that religion is
-rowing, so cold and sin 1B growing
to bo^d" ls a striking utterance and
i bold confession I heard' made in a
.ecent prayer by a good num. The
tatement is an old worn sentence fre
cently Used tu prayer. We dare criti
ise prayer less we be guility of Judg
ng the heart?and motivo of the per*
on thus engaged by th? use of these
ld common sentemos; none ot us
know how to pray as wa ought." As
re study our condition and . recount
few of our many, blessings we hope
bis expression so earnestly j uttered
in our good brother's prayer is not
rue.
There ls every reason for ?thesue
BBSful growth of the Christian re
gion among os. The growth of plant's
epend upon suitable conditions such
s soil, sunshine, rain, cultivation, ste.
Tature plays an Important part, thea
)0, human skill comes in .with its
mtribution. The Christian religion's
rowth among a people depends* upon
[mHar agencies. We have the divine
Ide and human side. The unlgue plan
c redemption has been' wrought by.
eans and the Holy Spirit ls heaven's
sent in the world and mthe Christies
eople are being used by Him in keep
ig alive and very active this religion
h ich in time must reach thai large
roportion so as. to cover the whole
?rtb.
' Let Vs take . time and -count, oar
human, aids which are rightly ?o be
depended upon in their contribution to
the development ot religious growth.
Wo have the home, church, schools,
colleges, universities young men and
women's ' associations temperance
unions, hospitals and many other like
agents which are unknown to UB. It
these are playing their real part in
advancing the one thing upon which,
the destiny ot the whole world de
pends, why do we go mourning before
death, strikes its last and final blow.
But since this suggestive statement,
in the prayer referred to above, meeta
the assent of the large majority of
those listeners lt. is undoubtedly some
thing tilting about this development.
Some of these departments are evi
dently f?ll lng short. Upon which shall
this fault be placed? . Surely the homes
are not at fault. Th?se are the bed
rock of any.nation's civilization. Here
in is the father/priest, prince and
king, and the mother a veritable queen.
The children honor those in ' whose
(aces they first looked, above all other
m the imbodimeztt of purity and love.
They believe in their parents' re
igion and. every thing else until they
ire deceived, then ali. respect and con
Idence take the wings .of doubt and
nbelief and light upon a cliff in an
nknown region.
