INTELLIGENT ~~ ~
DISSATIS FACTION"
- "There is ~ TroT~Fn7rogh ~livtrtt Hrc-nr
dissatisfaction among Columbia
NggjroeS ? apparently at least.
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

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

wake of the pioneers of Negro 1
businessmen of the earlier times? 2

A generation has passed. 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

tivd. for oRt seKo* and oi?- children.
There ? ne fundamental effort
on the part of Colianbia Negroes
to create business places o/

is still a desire to educate, but
very little desire to create something

But stop the noise jlst a minute
while wo fchink of what a certain
i-mnortant document means. I frequently
think of the intents and
motives of the framers of that
immortal state paper.
The declaration of Indepenence
i? a finp statement of th.. riirhts
of ALL men to be free and equal.
"We bold these truths to be self
evident that All men are created
equal etc." Wonder if the writers
of these words had in mind
All men. Perhaps they did.
Consider* if those who now cele
brate th(> independence of America
Ti-avw in mind All men. Maybe
so and maybe not.
Some <yf those who ^touch off
state would be against him* and
that?he?felt?he was?too?young.
These are some of the,things that
we all will have to watch.
Space will not allow me to
bring before you all of the others
that we would lrke to magnify.
I was glad to see Dr" Dent's
name appear in last week's issue
\nd will be glad when the state
settles definitely on their man.
Let's pause at this minute and
breathe a silent prayer for Dr. J,
11. Clayborn, Sr., who lost another
soa last week. Both of his
loving sons worked themselves t?i
death in the Christian Recorder's
office, paying for the plant- which
wa* turfied over to thc connection,
With thu sacrifice that Dr. Clay
born has made, being easily ap.
proacnea, mpr nrowicr, ideal cnns

us all see that he will pro in on the
first ballot. .
