ADMISSION:
Matinee, 80*; Night 860.
Children 10c any time.
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.
I'se your horn only when necessary.
Do not make It a nuisance and a danger.?

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

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

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.
