It is not so much the cattle shortage that worries us but the over supply and ever increasing boll weevil. j_ i Slowly (but surely President Harding jis making good his promises, j i - The 500|or more white women in the Register of Treasurer's office who! so bitterly opposed and we presurpe stili oppose, the ap pointment of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson Recorder of Deeds, have our sympathy if they are to j become j o b 1 e s s because of "Link's" appointment; for it looks very much to us like he is going to ?et the job. It is 'reported from Tulsa. Oklahom^ that Supreme Com mander cjf American Woodmen, Hon. C. ?M. White of Denver, ColorapoJ has agreed to place in Tulsa a half million dollars to as sist in rebuilding the devastated section o\^ned by his people. It is also sdated that other Negro Insurance^ Companies will come to the resjeue of Colored Tulsa as that's th? only means by which money cain be secured to replace the burned districts. At a meeting held in that city a few nights ago there was born an organization hereafter known as the East End Realty and Re construction Company" in an swer to a scheme of the white reconstruction company to get all Negroes to execute deeds to a ho-dirig bompany that they had formed, j 'They iproposed to later valuate the land; with a white board of appraisers, giving the Negroes the adyanced price that the property would bring as indus trial property. The attitude of Hughesi principal \of one of the ward schools, who in addressing the whites, spoke for che Negro group ir| opposition to the law of the Medjes and Persians, He re fused tojenter into their scheme and made this terse statement of what th? Negroes proposed to do. Said Hujghes: 'Tm going to hold what 1 have until I get what I've lost." [This slogan was adopted at the meeting held by the Ne groes iti the evening at the Bap tist Church, almost to a man, the Negroes on Greenwood Street propose; to hold their property and rebjuild on their land." This quotation trom The Biack Dispatch will no doubt give the desired! information to many of our readers who are anxious to know What these people are go ing to jdo. It is left to reason howevejr that thousands shook Tulsa'sjdust off their feet to re turn noi more and carried millions with them. It is reported that one National Bank alone had a run on; it for a million dollars. This shows that after all some Negroeb have money and with their money can demand some things.! Certainly one million dollars drawn from ane banking institution under such circum stanced that prompted this is e nough for the bank officials to in sist that a hait be called on such brutal treatments if they feared a repetation of such barbarism We have long wondered will it take a similiar riot to run the Negroes of Columbia together in banksj grocery stores, shoe stores,; millinery stores, drug stores.! business leagues, board of trades etc? We don't invite such bjut we verily believe that such vfould prove a blessing to some degree. Th? Columbia Record last Tuesdky afternoon carried a splendid editorial on the recent barbarous act at McCormick a few Sfundays ago when savages from Several counties murdered Her b?rt Quarles. Near the end ?f thib editorial the editor made this statement: "W?hen it comes time for us to look passively on wrong or to eondojneit, The Record intends to locfc its doors, throw the keys awayj and quit publication". Th$t to our mind is pretty J good!gospel if the heart is at last rjght And if the heart is at lefrst right the editor wiil in the future take this bold stand for the right of the Negro Citi zens as well as the whites. This statement coming forth even at this late date after those sava ges near McCormick took tke law into their own hands might yet result into good for the fair name of South Carolina. Let us hope so any way. After all, the writings against lynching and the like we glean that the main object is to keep the ''fair" name of South Caro lina "fair" as relates to its laws and its name compared with other states. The Negro and his rights get but little consideration ex cept that you can't lynch him without lynching the law. Ths Negroes must still be dealt with as subjects and only entitled to whatever is handed him of re fused stuff through the back door. We may not live to see it but we believe that that long looked for better day is about to dawn upon us; for we have been taught that the darkest hour of tha night is just before d*y. Out oi one blood God created all nations of the earth and He intends that they* should dwell together in peace at least a part of their sojourn here. A few days ago The Columbia State in criticising The Chmpeti tor, a Colored Magazine for stat ing that Negroes were going to Pittsburgh and other northern cities where they can and do get a citizen's chance, as usual tried to encourage the Negroes going, on the ground that the South would-be the better off with their absence. In the course of his writing the editor of that paper suggested that all Negro news papers encourage the Negroes going. But Tne indicator does not and will not aoctpt that editor's suggestion unless he 4 'fires" every Negro ser vant from floor sweeper, deliv ery boy, cow milker on up and replace them with white boys and girls. If the whites in Pitts burgh and other northern cities are more civilized and respect the Constitution and laws more than the whites of the South and will accord Negroes better opportuni ties to earn honest livings and protect them under the laws, then The Indicator says to the Negro, ' 'take up your bed and walk" if you feel like it, other wise to quote Booker Washing buckets where you are," We are getting many compli ments from many sources on the weekly contents of The Indica* tor and even on being able to get one any kind of sheet during tiiis strenuous period through which we are now passing and have passed. But strange to say so few, even of these, fully real ize the real task which is ours to k^ep the paper going. At least they are not lending the due fi nancial support No paper has ever been able to make it success fully on, ' 'please allow me space'V and "you are publishing a good paper" etc. Every since we've had the responsibility of publish ing The Indicator it demanded no little cash every week and its the same to-day. We say this to remind hundreds of our subscri bers that your subscription is past due and because you attach so little importance to this little yet very important matter, that yoA have not sent in your dues a id it has worked a hardship on us So we appeal to you now not to put it off any longer, but while you think of it send in your just dues and help us to keep up "the good work" you jay w? are doing.
