All the fhychological an'd environmental for_ics are working- te thatr-en4r?A4 any ate. it is the irtdividual Negro artist hat is now. doing most to effect ft -rumbling of the inner walls of race prejudice; there- are outer and inner -walls." ' ;v . ... I. Mr. Johnson* traces the new aware-oess of oulured?poets; of whom He ?alLs .Claude.

Concluding his survey, which' Indudes the riarftea of other performers of" prose writers and the few Negro painters and sculptors in America, Mr, Johnson writes: "I do not think < it too much to say that through ab i usuc acmevement the Negro has | found a means of getting ^he very ;core of the prejudice against him.

The Heroines of Jericho is a neto fraternal order organized on Thursday afternon by Mr. J. S. Stanback, Deputy. This order is composed of Eastern, Star members, and bids fair . ft. planation and apology.. , That the honesty and integrity of party organization depend on the complete removal of all Negroes from .voice, and_AUthLOrity^_ ? That the appovnimeyt of a public official is an act which concerns only white citizens, nnf that colroed citizens should have neither voice nor consideration in such appointments. * PUR DAY, N0\*. 5,1028. v PROMINENT FRATERNAL MAN PASSES SUDDENLY Charleston, S. <?., Oct. 28.?Mr John S. .Green, prominent in frater nal circles hero fur a number of year; departed this life .
