TEXAS CONGRESSMAN FO!

LAW
Believe it or not, a congiessma
?._r .?from Texas is in l'avor of a Fet.
era] Anti-lynching law. His nair.
is?Maury?Mavuink. 'a member (
the House of Representatives an
a man of strong ami foi'eoful .chai
acter. 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.
T/et it be hoped that there are
scores of other Congressmen Mavericks
in thought.
NEGRO EDUCATION IN
SOUTH CAROLINA
Well, what can be said"about
that? Nothing? much more than
w^jat is said every year when the
politicians begin to see just hew
little they can. dish out for the
'Negro and . still lay claim to behoving
that he should be eduea-tciL
Now let's s?.e just "how generous,
just and fair the proposed appropriation
for Negroes are insofar
as higher training is concerned?common
school money is
not here treated, but in comparison
it is just about as-.bad. The
statilnos not nndortwku to-rwairr?
tain any other college dor the
training of the colored citizens
_ than the one at-Orangeburg?'The
State Colored college. For the
maintenance of this college foi
the year 11*30-37. the magnitieient
sum of-STi'.3H>.t\7 is recommend
.d by the Budget commission; thi
trustees asked for S17-LP00.00.
for tne wmtes there are -l col
beges and 1 university. Of the
I col'eg.s, one is a .medical school
"or tla-m the Budget Commission
rceommends total 'appropriations
<f $So?V.2*>i?;??4. Now. the popu
. .of the state is always. th<
same, the white exceeding Negro
: h\ o::l\
in se tiiiures are n.ot; binding or
:he legislature, yet it is. safe tc
-ay that^ while.there may be some
changes to the advantage of th?.
vhi'te colleges. the Negro college
vi;i do well it" it gets what is recninunded.

The New School of Methods

Well 1937 is here, we all reae-b?ut
our hand, take a firm shake,
uui give a hearty welcome?just
.vhy we give such a cordial v.elome,
is a question. 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.
