Jenkins, known as "The C)iph'unage Man" died last week al. the ripe cage of 74. When he died, the. State lost one of its useful citizens. The worth and work <d' no man who suceess~ fully d?A?iC d liis life to the uplift >>f the poor and needy ran be rightly passed over, and that is what the Reverend' .Jenkins did. Within the_ past 15 years, he'housed and liainod 5.0UU little boys and giil- who had no homes and lu> patents to guide and care for them." Many of those?boys and girls -became useful and upright citizens. With no' money but-with an unconquerable 'zeal for the saving of those who had nu chance." the' Reverend Jenkins succeeded in establishing and maintaining an institution that should not he allowed to languj-h. I.t has more than justified its existence; But even should it pass away, the moth ot y of Rev. Jenkins witt ever be green, for he will still be in the lives f>t' those he has touched. A leal mar has passed away. ON RACK ISSl ES. At Blue Ridge, X. C\. last week was held a conference on Education and Race Relations. Of all the speaker.-, perhaps rone made a clearer analysis of conditions as exist front a 'racial, standpoint and made a 'stronger appeal for just ordinary fair play and justice on the part of the whites to the Negroes, than Mr. Mark Kthridge, manager of .the I-oui^ ville (Ky.) Courier-Journal. Mr. Etheridge i> a Southern man and no doubt ' sneaks the sentimeAt of the best of the Southerner?. If only the sentiments' of the best people of the South were predominent in stead?erf?t-he?ignorant, prejudiced and?*> !;'-> ookinpf two by four poli ticians, what a God-blc.-sed seeSpeaking of the smallest obligations that the whites owed the Negro, he said that they should see lb '"stamping out of lynching and th< protection of his (*he Negro) person and piupjerfyf-om.via-. lenee born of race prejudice. He added that if it took a federal law to stop" lynching, he was in favor of it. X<> hvpperacy herg. He is unlike so many Southerners i n Congress-?some from states whose lynching records are a stench in the no-trils of "all decent commonwealths?who say they abhor lyiiehiiTgs but oppose every effort to miss a laW lookincr tlio mil lawing of the .burning of human beings or swinging them uP on a tree in the name of "States' rights.". Mr. Etheridge has no patience with this "States' rights" business. Said he: "To recognize the right of~Ti State to handle the problem when lynching* continue, is to recognize the right of a state to. tolerate *a violation of the fundamental tenet of m-i. people, whether democratic or monarehial; the right of mar to live' ,under law and to be deprived of life only by law." Mr. Etheridge urged better health and sanitation measures for the Negro, adequate public accom modation and opposition to any law tending to deprive him of the light of a legitimate occupation. To do that, he said, was but a t mattet of "plain, simple justice." Speaking of so-called social equality,. he said that in his opinion the Negro had no desire ' to break down that. Here Mr. Etheridge is sound in his opinion. The only time Negroes give any attention to that subject is when white peo pie talk about i such, or when their men are found practicing such with loose Negro women at night or ih some secret places. "iHe (the Negro) is. on the whole, as proud of his race as we are of ours." Again Mr. Etheridge is right, as right as he is when he says. "The race that is in control of election machinery, in charge of all but an intinitessimal part of the wealth, in charge of the courts; in charge of the legislative bodies, is a striking confession of an ' inferiority complex rather than an-attitude of "real superiority." May*'the tribe of the Mark Etheridges increase. t + O + + t * If Imoljjntaim city! ; -echoes ii| I \ By "CAP JIM" ? This the second Monday morn ing, ill. August Is starting otf with a vim in so far as heat is coil- , corned; being in sight of mountains cuts but little difference. It's really hot. On account, of a business rush we failed to get down to;the Enoree Association this time. The qiuy one missed in some time. But I the reports come in that the ses sion held Thursday and Friday down at Enoree Fork church was quite a success. Most all of the member churc.hjes reported by hav ing delegate and doorway money present. The general spirit, so reported seems to be more-in" keep* ng with the great session? held by jjone days. Good! We note that the old firm of E.W. Biggs Mortuary has changed hands, and from now on it will be Biggs & Stewart. The Rev. H. """ W. L. Stewart having bought half interest in the business. We see :-o reason why the business should not keep going, even in a better way. Rev. Stewart has a wide range of friends and kindreds and ilso a ileal of clear cut business experience. His getting into the game at this hour we feet} will help keep that special field of endeavor up above the clouds, up in o that dignified sphere where it uicht always be kept. We are not dictating as to a policy; but with three well equipped and managed undertaking firms in ithe ' ity; we trust thut the owners of ( ach may . get together and . adopt k a code of action one towards the AdvcrtiscT ^>ure; but calk in ? ill "nikor<" <UT tho T .... ..v.w, V.IC | family wherein death has come be! left alone to decide anion# them-. I selves who they want to . handle , their dead/Then after the decision j is made; let the call be made by jc the family or by orders given, by 8 it,. From then on let no one in- B terfere or butt in. It would b t ' mighty fine if they (the undertu-|j jkers) would have a secret agreej-m-ent-among themselves that un1 der no circumstances would one ' interfere with the other and shift v {a body, even if the family so re- ? quests. Tell them "No" you chose the other firm first; let it serve 8 you. Now selfishness may prompt 8 i you to do otherwise, you may put| r 1 up the argument-thus: "Ah! well 11 'l am in the business to get mine. ' t's not my job to look out for the ^ other fellow." All right mark it 8 down, when that attitude is assumed, and followed, sooner or la- v tor the blowout comes, and usually t | it's sqpner than one expects. So jI my advice is for ' hem all to work t ithe field in unity?having as a j motto?as you would that men j ! .nay do unto you, do you likewise ! to them. Tatte it or leave it. ? Well, I don't know, it might be q sorter mean on my part; but I < have decided to take vengeance. I ? t needed a "William" at the District j0 Conference, ofr rpther I thought | j I did, so I whispered to a friend |r preacher to let me have one; then 0 call for it after we got back home. I j He readily parted with it. Since s 'then I have.thought of the many 1 , Divines that have caught me, -so t some kind of a spirit, urges me 1-.tr do unto the preacher as the.preacn ers have done rhel By the way I told him to "call at my place ti j the next day and I would hand it fi | hack." You know a fellow will I make ahy kind of a rash promise, e when he is reaching out for It, I but it has been 10 days-or overjt since I made the deal, and that t preacher has not shown up. I c am just wondering why? ' Is it possible that, that preacher owes 1 me a "William" of long standing -i I and remembers it and thinks I J I still remember it and have called ? [it square, it could be I have a! | long black list of preachers who i have caught me, I have long since; ceased to look over it. For every j t time I used to let my eyes run j * up and down it put me in the hapj' piest mood for cursing. Now don't B mistake me, yes there are one * here and there that will do t OjP trust I believe. But unfortunate- v ly that kind I never or seldom if |c ever bump up against, in the mean' time I am holding fast to that 8 "William." I)o you blame me? ?

Director Green in a written s itatemcnli summarizes the work j f the summer school as follows: 'State College closes its' summer ession August 4, the experiment 11 f a forty-five day session was a r rrand success. Out of an enroll- c nent of 531, less than 200 dropped ^ mt at the end of thirty days. ? lany who dropped out plan to * tay the full session another year. * ^he experiment has been well jus- ^ ified and will be continued" in the. * uture. ? Teachers may now do a year's 1 vovk at State college in. three "sum--* ner sessions. We feel that, the J Troup in attendance this, summer * s one of the finest the college has iver had.
