yet ' the number of
lynching?; for the year was- the
same as l\r 1936?8 in number.
And too some were most atrocious.

from these lynching states,
_jue_jind a!', will scon vote on an
urti-lynchhv,' bill but every one
vote my " Of course,?they <!o
not Leiiove in lynching, oh no.
. They -simply believe in the free

in mass. Eight lynchings are just'

that this country has not

In otnet words, insofar as
this phase existence is consemed,
the New Deal has not been

THE CII KLESTON MUTUAL
s'Avrvns 'iaxk i.if'.nnatrs
Iii 1P21, this har.k wa? organized
and Dc-gan business. It was
ably and honestly conducted; ftb
m^ch so that when President dtoose
? velt in "Hi.rr Had all the banks c/f
the country closed, it was among
the comparably few that, ^as soon
allw<ed to reopen unrestrictedly.
Because, however a satisfactory
earning income - has~not resulted,
* the officers decided to tease further
opers'ion." The fine thing about
this dicisin is the tact that
no depositor will loae a red cent.
B^~~thht~as It may, the thinking
coloroa dt.zen* of the stato must
1
regret the passing of tMs bank. ,
Thero now remains only me colored
bankn'r ""liTsfiriition in South .
Carolina?Th? Victory .Savings
Bank of C\ iu'mbla. Tho chances
are too that it will for years be
the only ore a's the somewhat lucent
banking laws enacted make
the organization of banks a rather
difficulty matter. In Charleston
for an instancn, before a bank
could be chartered. it would have
heve -lrtuallv naid ur in cash
a capital of at loan $100,000 plus
ten per ce:.t of the capital as .surplus.

important, should not in all r... t

The Federal Council of Churches,'
with headquarters at 297

has announced the program for
the 10th annual observance of
Race Kelaiici.s Sunday, \vl ich falls

The Race Relation^ Message,
prepared tHb year by Dr. Ivan
Lee Ilelt,: pi.stor of St. John's M.
E. Chur<;l) Scuth, St. Louis Mo.,
carries . a punch. It sa>?: "The
Housing of Negroes in towns and
cities and rural districts is. a dja*~
grace to any nation." .
?Again: "It'is niu:i' 'Jiff I'Ult f6'r J
Negroes to hold their jds or to
regain then* when laid off: during
the jleprcsfioh; suffering among
Negroes, ha. IjiJSen tragi-.
And again: ^'Educational oppor.unities
foil roes are far from!
adequate : many sectins of the
;oUntry, a-1.' the distribution of
public school fund^ is gr< ssly unfair
where separate schox.is exist.

.hriAighout the country will take
part in IK* program. 'In many
communities there "will" be exchange
of pulpits and choirs be
\yeen Ncv> > and white r .urches, "
interracial mass meetings and ]
young peoples' group contacts,"
;ays the avr.ouncemeht.
We hope, along with others
A'orking for better social and racial
corditi i?s, that ther- will be
more "changes in attitudes as our
White and ,\egro people ace life
together."
