Wien individuals and groups become intelligently dissatisfied they usually strive to get the things fliat are wanted because of increased wants and desires which naturally come to people as they advance in civilization. There is a marked difference between 'dissatisfaction that exists in people's . minds than a state of intelligent MA dissatisfaction which serve as a stimulating force in causing pro U Ple to achieve something - fuiulii.H' mental and tangible a Many of, us spend much energy Wf in "getting even with" our enemies because revenge is sweet. But such I practic is bad and it gets us.no where. Factions keep us a part arid there is a lack of confidence in the other fellow. Fighting men and ignoring moasaires cost lis many cauures and destroys tne spirit.nl cooperation that is so much needed if we succeed .along economic ? "He who fights with the sword will perish" is as true now as it was when Jesus, our Savror,-walked with His disciples. I There are approximately HO,000 r Negroes within the confines of Columbia. What do we desire most? 110,000 Negroes t(? be shod semi-annually at least, and not one big shoe store owned and controlled by Negroes; HO,OOi) Negroes to be fed, and clothed and not one department store where a respectable^ entreprenership is organized by Negroes to create employment for Negro children coming out of colleges and high schools. These .10,000 Negroes r need laundry service and no group t.Vtn rannr? o 1/nnnltV ..__v... ,xvv...,v I'IKIUKII HI establish such an enterprise. There are many other enter... prises we might have in this community reflecting- business ingenuity of Negroes, with marginal profits and opening up avenues of employment^ Why are there -no ,, big business concerns among Columbia Negroes? We cannot believe that it is because of a lack of capital. The capital needed can be .had if Negro leaders, would do some constructive thinking an,*) make the right appeal to the buying public. The problem here is unsolved lasgcly because Negroes are not intelligently dissatisfied with present conditions as they obtain. We remember when Columbia Negroes boasted of excellent groe-^ eiV stores, Trig^ tlry JT^ods csfab^j lishments and green grocers held respectable places among Columbia merchants. It s pleasant to remember- R. T TV% 1 wis 0. r~"iiner anfi i. >. Miner who conducted creditable dry goods' and taHor shopson Ma in street; it is a part df a good record of high grade business accomplishments when we recall the fact that John Bailey, Clarence Drmhey and "Capt." Carroll conducted grocery I stores that served us in i*?c ry way and were patronized by Whites as Well. Then there were * I. S. Leevy and N'at Collins among the most prosperous and highest \m rated merchants this side of At/ lanta. These men made a fine record - -.T'. T I y.lll.l ^ Ml .

We have plenty of schools now and ( very "Tom, Dick and *Ha?ry" has < his degree or Is trying to get it. I But few students are trying- to make t^e grade in business ven- ' ure. With little cooperation on H the part of all of us, we seem ty < be willing to go on with a fight sgaiust each ottaer, developing har- i tivd. for oRt seKo* and oi?- children. There ? ne fundamental effort on the part of Colianbia Negroes to create business places o/ magnitude and importance, thore is still a desire to educate, but very little desire to create something for oarewlve* and our posterity Wq h.I'o not seriously oacc.rnetf about our future place in the economies of greater Columbia.
