NEGROES BETTER HfyllAYKI' Interesting is the. statement the assistant jailer of Rii-hlan 1 county as to the ratio ?.f Ncgio and white prisoners i T years ag<. Then there were 11* Negroes .lock ed up to every white person. T day things-are ditTercttf^?-A-piu-nx., innately 13 whites to every 7 NY groes, or about twice as man are locked up. Why the ehlfrgc . Evidently Negroes are betttcitizens. They know that an; little Infraction of the law meanarrest and hence they-endeavor t obey the law. On the other hand whites must feel that they ca take a chance and heat tin- tap Everything i.< in their favor Thinking people know that such is not ..conducive to sound development, but the policy of being cargoes merrily on. The' making <>' good, law-abiding Negroes is fin ?may the ratio ,be less as th years go on. Not however be cause there he an increase inwh.tcriminals?that would he uiul* rsi rable and dangerous?but .because there he still fewer Nee-roes wk< run afoul of the law. The colored citizens in particular should feci proud- of; tjiis record, especlali* ? when it?is" rcnii'mtn'fcd that, ill comparison, so little ^ ~sncnf To7 those agencies whose object is th. improvement and uplifting of th. underprivilegeu. ? ? MONEY FOR ETHIOPIA. About the foolest thing Negro es are doing in certain parts of this country :s contributing their harj earned cents and dollars supposedly to aid Ethiopia in it j fight against Italy, ino tact is, as Marcus Garvoy says, there i.no government in Ethiopia. Wh<< would, want to contribute money to any country in the first place, the ruler of which had fled therefrom and live in luxury and peace elsewhere. ..And of what avail would be the few hundred or thousands of dollars Negroes contribute? In this country now there "s a person claiming to be the representative of the ex-Emperor, Haile /(Selassie, soliciting' ~ fnrr*r~?Funds?-w- rcajtiy - for whom ? While the war was raging, there was in this country a supposedly agent of the Ethiopian government. He collected .thousands of dollars, representing himself as secretary of the London Kjj&irv* . legation, but was later repudiated. ,Rut he had the money and no one know:! what became of it save the gentleman collector and he wouldn't tell even if he were now in this country. Negroes should stop being so gullible. There "are! so many agencies in this country \m>' Kit-g for their welfare that every cent that can b<* spared ghoul, be contributed to them. It would be well if tho' money they feel like giving to foreign racketters could be contributed to?say the Nation aS> .Assneiation for the Advancement of Colored People.' Such vonti ihutiijtts would be sensible. I.et the foreign racketeer get back across the ocean.

Come again. Rev. T. R. Tolbert, his wife, sister-in-law and son, spent Sunday with parents. While lip this tide, he spoke for Rev. Moss at 'Macedonia Sunday morning. All siKmo..' to enjoy the message. ?.Axlvicu, . \'n, . u.?i r?^ ing anything for it. its free. You can take it or leave itr But from observation. Ave want to say that | it ds not host at all times to "hang] ! the latch string" on the outside and tack up a bright sign near it "welcome strangers". In fact' C . tr we feel that any person blowing Into a town or community jpromiscously and then right oflf the handle want to get into the good graces of a church or business or into the best social circle should not be received with open arms without an investigation. Find a little out about him >111"' be10re you crown him king ui queen.In the long run it will pay so to do. We feel that our churches should, when the pastor extends an invitation to any one to come and join?shouh.i if a rank stranger come up or he may not be so rank, probably he has been in town a few months, but it would harm" no one tb find out if he was] worthy- before you started to sing 1 ing "The Church is (doing to Make You Welcom^, Welcome" and giving such a hearty handshake. If he claims foVmer membership at some distant church, all right but take not steps in turning him looSe among the flock - until you get his record from Lack home. If his home record won't bear inspec-' Hon then the one he.will make while with yon will be at the end "too bad". Wo reeall now a fellow that blew into our city some lew months ago, d)J some smuoth lip work, got a job with one of the leading insurance companies of our race, then joined himself to "one of "the biggest churoitus in our, cjty and became over-night 'a big shot'. In fafct in the church he was placed away out in front, as a leader in the Sunday school and young people's organizations; hi also claimed to be. single?and 1 tell you we saw some mighty good looking women at different times had h m cornereo off. KindeV sorter a 'star' in the social world. Hut the wolf pait is bound t< show. u|j. regardless as to, how. neat the sheep skin fits. So one day about Xmag time?and you klfow around about that time if a 'skudder' is not well fixed and pretty honest, when the smiling and bewitching sisters " begin to carry him window shopping, an every now and then threw out a loud hint, while parked to peep: "Oh! isn't that lovely". Enough sad?when Xmag eve comes she will be in the receiving line. Now it makes no difference if the cash in his pocket coines from forged .-ick claims the bud must "-have hers, and when the church and ilia nacre- of the coninanv wakes op! ar.d chocks up, alas! the stranger has gotten awav with quite a i'v sum. Well he may have done the same, if an investigation had i.yon ma c?-sure he , would, but the han.e would not have bom open to-him. No house w fe will knowin.ly break a rotten egg into the batter when stirring up a cake If it looks a bit, suspicious she ilrst breaks and pours into a sau' er. It pays to investigate. .' | Kampbellgrams I X Stephen C. 'Campbell : , I Last. Sunday was high day with Sr.'-.
