BEAUFORT COUNTY TRAINING SCHOOL Beaufort County Training Schoc <at Burton, S.

Both of these schools 'promul gate the Hampton Tuskegee spiri started by General Armstrom and perfeceed hy Dr. Booker 1 Washington. Dr. J. E. Blantor a Hampton graduate, rs presiden of the school at Denmark, fcn Professor J. S. Shanklin is th principal of Beaufort County Ti . School at Burton. Prof. Shankli is a graduate of Tuskegee. The school at Burton is doinj a fine job in its effort to admin later a program of practical edu cation. We doubt if there is an other school in the State, witl the same per capita wealth to expenditures, rendering large service to advance the cause o human welfare, social and econo mic improvement in its commun ity than the Beaufort County Ti School. In a recent issue the followrni ^article was published in Th Beaufort Gazette about Professo Shanklin's work; ? "J. S. Shanklin, Negro presiden of the Beaufort County Trfeininj school, is doing some fine worl for his people, especially t h < ?young Negro boys and girls. If ?j ?- - ? ? mna nis wue, wno is a fine womai have been.for many years i-i charge of this school. They teacl both boys and girls to do al > classes of work in the house, sucl aa cooking and canning. Thej hare their own canning planl ?rh?r? ail kinds of vegetables and h, fruita aije canned. They also hav? a large farm where all kinds ol ' products are groyrn. They bakl j their owi bread, raise their owii rice and meat, turkeys and chick. i? ' ' ' ens and geese. The buildings are " Kept clean and spotless throughout. It is something to go thru the different buildings and espec ially to see the number of grown boys being taught how to cook and the girls taught how to lew, cook and keep house in the right way. There is one good part about this school, with all the crime that has been committeed not one ' of the Beaufort County Training school students brought up undei his wife has ever been in tropble according to reports" from officers i They have the best of manners and a good education. Shanklin and his wife deserve great credit from both the white and Negro * nonnlo fr*r u/W', f fhou Kqvo Koon doing for many years in Beaufort county. They arc always glad for visitors to stop and go through and see what they are doing in the drfferent branches of their ( training school. They Have won several prizes on their canning at , the State Fair. They have several tung trees growing and on another section several thoisand pecan . trees from whiclL they - g^thei [ many bushels^ of pecans.

BOYD The Baptist Brotherhood "Of America is asked to consider the month ' of * March as "Memorial -Month" in honor of Dr. R.fH. Bovd father, of Rev. Henry Allen Boyd , Secretary of the Baptist Publishj ing Bohrd, Nashville, Tenn. ? -Dr. R. ,H. Boyd founded ~ and established the Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, owned and controlled by ^aptist people of the Negro race. Before Dr. Boyd there was no National Publishing t House among American Negroes. ' TT~ ?- _ ne \v?s a man 01 extraordinary j will power and business sense. In' t establishing1 the National Baptrst Publishing Board, R. H. Boyd had j- a great visiun, and the great vol.. ume of business done there, the 1 hundreds o"f young men and wo . men given employment, the spec . ial trfcinipg offered prove beyond 1 a doubt that R. H. Boyd had much business ingenuity. According to news articles pub lished in Tennessee papers, the month of March will be known ~as" "Memorial Month." Suitable programs will be conducted i n churches throughout the country emphasizing the- idea of mBkmg r the publishing house a bigger bus i iness and holding up before Bap.. of the late Dr. R. H. Boyd. ? R. H. Boyd, like Richard Allen i and Henry McNeil Turner of the ) African Methodist faith, was big i ger than his church. His vision went way beyond denominational j bounds. The Negro race was in 1 his mind as he worked to build 1 an institution that rs not only a n credit to th^ Ttnntlc* ?v.rv.uu iJivUiCI UUUU } as such, but is a glorious tribute ? to the accomplishment of Negro e people in the United States of e America. , TrtE LOCAL N.A.A.C.P. s TAKES ON NEW LIFE i ?????? 0 The Columbia branch of the r National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met c according to announcement last "Tuesday""night, January 10 in a very encouraging meeting and f .started a drive1 for renewed life B aind .work in our community. This r drive follows?the?splendid work e and results of the national assor ciaticrn especially in the interests e of educational advantages and op poihunities for our people?'and this means for all underprivileged peoples throughout the country. Democracy depends upon a fair degree of intelligence for the masses. The new d^al policies ofd ffer great benefits but they depend upon sound democratic nrin rlciplfs for the best ii'sults. The" : I branch will me^t Tuesday night, e January 24th at eight o'clock at i 2nd Calvary church to hear roll ports from committees on memo bership drives and on "nomination of officers for the ensuing year. . It is hoped that every interested t person will be present that night g on time ready to jcrin in, if not \ already a membed, and to help i, set up the best possible organiza-t tion for the year 1939.

By that I mean that they Either want to take all^and give nothing, or they give out something, but are unwilling to take something. A familiar expression is, "I a very fine motto for everybody.

We endorse the efforts- of the national government to better the condition of the masses of the American people and insist on a fa'1" application and just system free from discriminating#. 6. We iwist on representation in all divisions of the American army; aviation and navy included; so that lack of training may not force the bulk of-?the colored race iTit/y labor hatalions in case oi__ war. 6.

We endorse the efforts of our lawmakers to make it a federal offence, to resort to lynchingas it is organized rebellion to constituted law and has injured our influence at home and abroad. 8. We endorse the system of the-national f-government to extend aid "to" states in their effort to blot out illiteracy, as an ignorant citizen is a menace to so.- . ciety. ' ' 9. We call upon the states and communities whede ther are sufficiently large numbers of color-, ed citizen* that the local branches of the malitia have colored units. 10. We ctimmend -the high ground taken by the conference recchtly held at Biiiningham,. Ala., in regard to race relationship and endorse"The spirit of lib erality and fairness there exemplified. 11. We note the change of sen timent by a large and influential pdrtion of the American press, South included, on race relationship, and hope American ideals _wilL hereafter be the domrnnantcharacteristic and politicians will find it increasingly unpopular to stir up racial strife in their efforts to win support of their constituents; ~ 12. We call upori our people in rural communities as well as in towns and cities to focus their attention on increased thrift and industry, mcrdernly applied for the comforts of home, protection of health diminishing of crime, that there be no real cause for defying any of them their just rights as citizens. 13. We call upon our business men to modernize their systems; meet competition in service, quality and courtesy, and realize that there still ^remains rewards for efficiency, tl^e onSy permanent pathway to success. 14. We welcome the jevidences of a change even taking place in the South, in regard to a division of the duties of policy powers? notably Florida, Texas, Tennessee and'perhaps other- Southern communities: as we feel that these duties can be best performed by dividing -thQS?_responsibltieg^ with the various racial groups repre: serited in a community. 15. In regard to the ballot; where qualifications are requh^d: they should be aimed so as to honestly keep within the spirit and meaning of the law, as dishonestly in government ulndermin^ es character arvd must sooner or later result in chaos or injury to the body politic. id. may we appeal to our nun e9t God-fearing white fellow citizens tg encourage the New Spirit of justice and fair play, w'hich will prove best for bo-th groups; suspicion- and ranchod of unfair treatment by one group toward the other can but breed dlacontent and unhappiness for both.
