One of our worst and moat dangerous pes ts, la the car driver, male or female, who finds pleasure in laying down on the horn blowing button of an automobile. Senseless and unneccessury horn blowing la a menace to human life as well a? a common nuisance. Not long since. In a northern state a half dozen cara were halted at a grade crossing, while a freight train was passing. After the train caboose had hardly passed the crossing, a girl driving a car next to the tracks, was so confused by the wild blowing of a driver Just behind her, that she started her car across the track, with her ' two companions, without pausing to ascertain If there was another train passing on a second track. There was. and the girl driver got to the second track Just In time to be hit by the train passing the other way. Three girls were killed, while the horn-blowing idiot sped 011 his way.

Writes Of Negroes At Baptist Alliance Tiio following communication U Irani Dr J KMwixxl Welsh, pus tor of imm ient Baptist church, Orangeburg: I 'luor 1 lines and Democrat: M'uun returning from the recent *eatlous of the Bupth/ -CZ/rld Alliance 1? Id In hi week In Atlanta. 1 have been Hnked many questions concerning the preaenco and seating of our negro brethren These questions have been ho Insistent and revealed such a deep Interest in tills question that. In addition to my remarks made from my pulpit on last Sunday night, I have Ml that a word in your paper might dissipate, some of this misunderstanding attendant upon the question. 1 reached Atlanta about one unlock on Monday and was in the Ponce de I^ooii Hall Park about five o'clock. I saw placards which indicated where delegates from the Northern liaptist convention were to sit, and where delegates from the National Baptist convention were to sit. The National liaptist convention is the official title for the organization of negro Baptists. During my entire attendance at the sessions of^the Alliance from Monday nigh! through Thursday night, 1 saw absolutely no mingling in thq vast throng of the white and colored people so far as seating was concerned. The colored people sat together opposite third base in the grandstand in their own section. There were probably two thousand or more of them. The colored choir composed of singers from Atlanta's colored Baptist churches, were In one separate body below and to the right of the platform which was located in deep center field. The white choir was below the speaker's platform and en! tirely on the opposite side of the platform. The colored vice president presided at two sessions and I heard of no remarks concerning this. He paid a glowing tribute to the services and usefulness of the local chairman, Dr. Ixiuie Newton, on one occasion. About the hotels and best eating places in Atlanta one saw no negroes at all. I carefuly watched to see If any were present and they were not. On several occasions I rode to the ball pack on street cars that were full to capacity. Negroes were rarely on the cars and when they were they sat In the two rear seats and were orderly and very quiet. In the few days I TYave been back home X have heard much more discussion about this than I heard from contacting hundreds of my friends who were in attendance at the sessions of this great meeting. Many of my friends are men who hold prominent Baptist pulpits from Maryland to Texas. They are the grandsons of men who followed Dee, Jackson. Jeb Stuart. Longstreet and others In the Civil war. From not a one of thein did I hear a word regarding the proper seating of the negroes. All seemed to think the situation was handled wisely and in a Christian manner. Repeatedly I was moving about that large grandstand in the Atlanta ball park and out over the playing field covered by many rows of seats from the home plate to deep center, right and left fields. Not one time did I see whites and negroes seated together or mingling together. One had to look back of third base to see the colored section. On several occasions negro leaders were read out as prominent and useful man; the aje plauso which followed the reading oi their names came from the section back of third base always. I am afraid the newspapers have done harm in unduly exciting some feeling among the races for which there is no real ground or Justification. Any white man who has gone ' to a ball game In any professional ' park in the South hss seen the sep1 arate negro colored grand stand and 1 bleachers: substantially this is what the situation was at Atlanta. A few enthusiasts suggested the colored Chicago pastor. I>r William for president. Wisely and tactfully, he turned the suggestion aside. Personally. 1 think the Atlanta meeting will do good as people reflect upon the situation. White people deported themselves commemlably toward their colored friends; the colored delegates were doing their best to give a demonstration of kindly feeling toward Christians of different ' races. May 1 ask in conclusion that in our - city and other cities that some conr structive efforts be made to improve r conditions that everyone recognizes t as deplorable and yet tolerates. Beth ) whites and negroos would prefer a ^ city like ours to be zoned; it' would 1 aid In tho understanding between ' botjU races; the present situation is r neither wholesome nor desirable b There are bigger things at stake tot day in our beloved land than Incomes f from property; and where the races :. are terribly Interlaced In their living i quarters and neighborhoods as they are in many cities we should be statesmen enough to solve the problem Dife and living conditions arc still more valuable in tbe sight of Al 1 mighty God than a f<w dollars.?Or angeburg Tlmea and Democrat. \ RECALL8 OLD TIME8 A8 MEMBER OF TRAVELING BAND (J (> Hollo way, of Mouioe, io CharUnto ObHurvor) Nothing thrills tho wool quite so deeply, as sitting quietly down In tho I ealtn at eventide, to refloct over tho paramount events of yesteryear, when brawny youth heaved to lower heaven to kiss and bless the take-off on the wings of the morning, In boyish ventures, glamorous and rare, An old battered trumpet, hanging on wall, Is among my prized souven Irs! It set my mind agog today with memories in a distant past. It has a history that followed me through many failures and successes, and j caused me to bo able to meet many interesting people In the United Slates) and Canada. After completing a music course in that section of Kentucky noted for its pretty women and pedigreed horses, I returned to the old homestead near Carrollton, Ua., and organised eight of my brothers Into a brass band and orchestra. Our fine old father, an able court judge, farmer and merchant looked askance at our "tootln' " capers, but said little about it. One day we thought we were really good, and joined a minstrel out of Dayton, Ohio, and made good from the start, but due to low-priced cotton, the show stranded at Thomasvllle, Ga., but we joined a small circus coming out of the deep south, which stranded near Greensboro, N. C. We quickly noticed a one car minstrel on the siding. and joined that. A few weeks later at Roanoke, Va., fire of unknown origin, burned that ? Bhow to the ground, and with it, went about half of our horns, music and street cloth| ing. We joined another company there, which stranded a few weeks later at Bristol. There we took the bull by the horns oqrselves, and reequlpped our band, and used the best available stage talent on the spot, and booked and played theaters In the principal cities of Tennessee, closing at Chattanooga. We landed back home, where home sweet home was all the words imply. It was then fall of the year, and I sat on the veranda, overlooking the city, and propped my feet on the balustrade, and listened to the steady hum of father's cotton gins a few blocks away, and thought how nice it was to be back home to enjoy good food and restful beds. But the voice of allurement still called me, and I was a proud boy that wintry day, w^hen John Robinson In Cincinnati, replied to my letter, enclosing contracts. He Informed me that my band was to be featured in all parades during the circus season. He had conceived the novel Idea of having the"novel Holloway Brothers Band, composed as it was of eight brothers, and others, to ride twelve prancing steeds, beautifully bedecked in robes of many colors, and dotted with silver spangles, to match our new uniforms and sparkling gold and silver horns. My heart was then young and proud and fluttering with rarest ecstasies, and I could hardly wait the coming of spring. But one day the bland air from the South seas brought splattering raindrops upon the wintry swards, and the mocking bird trilled, and the robin chirped, and the honeysuckle and dogwood bloomed out over night, and a new spring was present in all Its glory. This time, at many other of our "going away" parties, the friends and curious of the city ganged up at the depot to bid us farewell and -good luck. Once seated, our eager eyes glinted the Civil war battle grounds at Chlckamauga and Lookout mountain. On reaching Cincinnati. I elbowed through pedestrian throngs to Johr Robinson's uptown office, in and oui his ofTlce were many strangely clac people, speaking In all languages John Robinson was a small man black hair, and grey eyes with closel\ trimmed mustache. He was seatec behind a flattop desk. Finally the long-haired Hlndos Bombay India, the camel and elephant hand lers, left, and Mr. Robinson nodded t< me and said: "You are next." I ap proached and reached across the deal and clasped his hand and told hin my name. As many big business Yan kees do. he reprained seated, but f cultured courtesy blended with hit precise Instructions, ami on leaving t< look up winter quarters and Pullmai car No. 84, which was to be the trav eling hotel for my band, 1 saw that h< and I would be friends. We opened three days later In Clr cleville, Ohio, the hometown of Al. G Fields, the famous minstrel king, ant on the day before the grand opening the entire 500 people and horses ant ? . animals, paraded three times arount the hippodrome/before the reviewlnj stand, oct^upia^by the Robinson's ant i their legal staff, and by the Governot and Al G. Fields. Well do I remetn ber those testing moments in dresset i parade before the most critical sho* i executives In the world. On the las ; swing around, the elder Robinson, ant founder of the circus, climbed dowi and entered the hippodrome, smokinj a Ions stogy in the center of his [ mouth, and carrying a cane with a i gold owl for the handle. As I apt proached, he motioned for me to [ break ranks, and he said: "Tell that . little trombone man on left lead horse , to get safety pins before tomorrow, r and pin his breeches down so as not 1 to show his long drawers in parades." , The highlights in the reminiscences , of yesteryear are just now beginning . but I must respect the editor's space 3 and stop. BETTER METHODS OF COTTON GINNING TO BE DEMONSTRATED Better methods of harvesting, handling and ginning cotton will be the subjects for discussion at a ginning demonstration to be held on August 17, at 2:30 o'clock in the Camden court house. This demonstration will be conducted by agricultural engineering and agronomy specialists from Clemson college and is one of a series of over forty demonstrations to be held in principal cotton producing counties of the state. One of the outstanding features of the demonstration will be the operation of a small model gin used to show the Importance of care in picking and handling cotton in order to secure the best possible samples. The reduction of cotton acreage has emphasized the importance of more efficient methods of producing cotton and proper methods of picking, handling, and ginning, so that maximum returns from the cotton crop may be realized. 1 The public is invited to attend this demonstration and special invitations are extended to farmers, glpners, cotton buyers and others interested in 1 production and marketing of cotton. COMPLETE REST ADVI8ED J IN CA8E8 OF TUBERCULOSIS I "Don't be misled by Improvement." | This is advice from well known physicians, who have observed the progress of tuberculosis cases tor years. The average patient when stricken with acute symptoms of tuberculosis will heed the instructions of his phy sician for a limited time and it is I surprising how quickly most tuberculosis cases improve after a few weks I of bed rest. The fever goes down, the cough stops or greatly improves. These changes often deceive the patient into thinking he can get up and go about his business. But the doctor knows better. He isn't fooled by the I bloom in the cheek or by the rising I spirits of the patient. So, he makes another examination including x-ray and usually finds that the fight in the I lungs is not yet won. The enemy Is I more quiet but lying in wait, ready to spring. Victory can easily be thrown | to the germs. j This is the danger line, to call off the fight when the patient feels he is about well would mean that the germs would once more break loose and start afresh. To succeed, the patient must keep the germs bottled up and starve them out. He must stick faithfully to fl the cure long after he feels well. Not until the doctor is sure that the tubercles are hard and tough does he allow the patient to be less careful about first instructions. Experience fl has taught the doctor. Following advice that comes as a result of this experience will hasten many recover- B ie8, prevent many back-sets, solve economic problems for the family ahd the community and protect children B and young people from Infection. B Beautiful and Helpful-:' . V 4 . . . ~-AV *'i It la from 1U piping call, which voices the spirit of marshy meadow and low beach, that the kllldeer plover, or "kllldeer," gels tie name. This plover Is not a game bird, and Is given complete protection under the migratory bird treaty act. It visits ploughed fields and destroys a great variety of Insect pests, from weevils, grasshoppers and wire worms to marine worms that eat oysters, and Is as useful as it Is beautiful. The female kllldeer, luring an intruder away from her young, acts as though she were badly wounded, at times barely able to drag herself over the ground. Lynn Bogue Hunt paiuted the kllldeer for the 1039 Wildlife Week poster stamps, distributed by the National Wildlife Federation. Fools the Hunter One of the handsomest of game birds, the California quail owes its success as a species to the fact that It depends on its, fleetness In times of danger, refusing to play the game with the hunter and his dog according to the rules. The California quail Is almost as friendly as the bob-white and rears It broods in city suburbs. It Is found all along the Pacific slope, and has greatly extended Its original range through the aid of man. Lynn Bogus Hunt painted the California quail for the 1939 Wildlife Week \ stamps, distributed by the National Wildlife Federation. ?I - J , .
