Commenting on lynehin Mr. Maverick said: "I think it time that the South, as well a the North, condemn lynchi'ng, in only by speeches but by law: Last year thore was less lynehin than at any other time in the hi: tory of the United States, .but a of it was in the South.'' Indepor dent and courageous though Cot grehsman Maverick, it, yeV hold in his position by the grace of' vote) of a T<^xas district, he would hard not sense a change in the sent ment of his conhtitueney as to. tl outlawing of lynching. That i 'encouraging. It has always bee a peculiar situation hard to undo stand just why the South hi fought any attempt to stamp ui lynching by a Federal law.' 1 , certainly is about time that t'r. best people of the South cease t allow cheap politicians and igrn rant voters to keep the South hi fore the world as a placci who savage methods of administers law i? preferred to that of. th orderly processes of law. An ai ti-iyrehing law cart easily be pass ed if^other southern congressm would but think of the real wu. fare of the nation instead of ai ways having their offices dangling before their eyes. It would bP ?< good if by their, action the.' w uld interpret the best sentimejifc of the ftouth instead of catering' to that of'the ignorant and vicious.

For we susicct it has been a long, long time, incc a new year came in-?hold ng so many surprises for the vo'rld?as things stand right at his day?most any thing can be i fact in the morning?as for the" olorcd man, and bis general tanding, 1937 found him no* n'-ich better off, than he was when *936 came o'n the scene?Here am' there you find an individual get ring alung pretty fail, but win i von turn th?> fla<V< li^ht nn tlie much as a whole, y?&?-fiml? not nuch to be proud of. If 1037 would take a.quick check up or he American1 Negro .from a busi icss point of view?the pictun .vould-be blurred. The few things we have, are panting for life lik< j ? fox hound just off a chase in ! hot weather. There is not a single Negro enterprise in America where the one or ones who are at the head Can point with pride to the pass years success. Some are ioing a pretty good business, but nothing to brang about. Thos. that find themselves, as strong when 1937 came as they were ir. 1936, are ready to dance a "gig? <a\- nothing about an Increase'-? Then the sad part about the complete circle is no where do yov find one or more than one, laying plans to launch out in a large way, into the business world, am' if you find a spark of activity along that line, you will find it a mong men who are over 40. From there on down as a whole, you find a bunch, that makes one wondei why the good Lord put them here any way. But let us move away from there, if we tarry, we will soQn take the "jitters." In most places, Negroes have alowed New Year"day, just to be another day. But in Greenville, we gave honor to the day, in ro? membrance of the signing 'of fhrt Emancipation Proclamation, so on Friday, January 1, 1937, quite a large crowd met at the W. B Temple to do honor to the occasion. The program started on time and liked one number only, of being 100 per cent. The musical numbers by congregation, Sterl it\g chorus, Dr. G. Douglass, Mesdames Sullivan and Short, were nil lioll i-nivlni-Pil Tfcp Prm'lamntion was read clearly by Mr. I.. T. Robertson. The select reading by Miss M. Shumate was realy select and full of?thoughts. Then came the address of the day. The -crowd-, wa* well koypd up by the time we reached the speaker, and he seemed to be right up to the point. From the very beginning he got the folks with him and fbr about 50 minutes may be 60. * he held them jam up. making no attamn* ? * C1 ? .U ^ ? r. 1 fl ; l, . .. ho kept himself flat footed on the ground, and from that position fed i the crowd on good wholesome food for thought. About a few thirds he had a differant idea, opinion and belief, which he presented as hi* way of seeing it. Some of us differ or reason it out to our satis faction .from another angle, - but men that read and think will differ some. As a whole, he did a splendid day's work, which met the approval of all present. The regret is, that just a nice size crowd in Greenville heard it, would that we had been whit# or radio broadcast blind to race prediiuce; then that fine address could have gone on the air, and into the ears and soul of thousands. But after all it was the future sighted Greenville Negroes that got together, and made it possible to have a young progressive speaker as Mr. J. Andrew Simmons of Columbia, S. C. is to come to themi with such a message. Then again I tell you it is a fine thing to get our f^lks out j/r some place, every now and then. if not in the name of Emancipation, then in the name of same thing just as important. Have a Negro or so present, that stand for progress, to broad cast, so we , thank all that had n part in making the celebration such a success, looking dorward to January 1, 1938.
