Pit* Tw? R- THE OLD GRAY By Re>'. E. Philip Ellis For years many have though thut the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was for the purpose of proB?: tectlng Negroes W'tJO were committing: the worst crimes, but that was a mistaken idea-."- The object of this Association is to see that Negroes receive justice at the hands of the courts. Since EEr1 this Itt true, every Negro in Ameiica should be identified with this v movement. It is true when many of our racial group get this justice. it will be the prison farms, chain gangs, electric chair, gallows and everything else. While that is true, any number of those t ijL.? accused-among us will -go ?free, when the Association comes t o their rescue. All Negroes the world over should be members and keep up their dues. Eg Charleston under the leadership of Dr. W. H. Miller is forging Be. ahead. Dr. R. I. Lemon has been the instrument in this city thru Ft? Which mattV FaVF" joined. OthCt Wilson, R. E. Brogdon, J.H. Pearson. The Local Branch meeting j t* here at Ebenezer church was a j great eueeess-. And the - Mass , . .Meeting?at- the_same. jdace^ was among the best ever witnessed by the Charleston Association. Dr. D. , N. Wilson wa? highly commended for his efforts in i making?these meetings iwhat they were. The | . Loual Branch meeting of the AsIf . sociation at Emanuel church with Dr. R. E. Brogdon pastor was very good. Dr. R. T. Lemon who was chosen by the Association to represent it at a special meeting in Washington. D. C., made his > renorL whidh was?tho best ever submitted by any representative. At this meeting, "The Old Gray" was named head of the Publicity Committee. Our next meeting will be at Morris Street Baptist ..church. Dr. J. C. Dunbar, pastor. Another Movement \ < AH Negroes should purchase h Christmas Seals. It's true quite ,?' a few take advantage_Qf_ these ' sales, but it is sad to state that that the masses pay no attention ^p""thir all important health pro?teetion. Manjr lives have been saved bv the sale of Christmas seals, it uoes seem mat irnnKiny Negroes' should give their fullest support to those selling ?these-"seals:; In Charleston, Columbia, and any number?of?metropolitan cities T. B. Camps are stationed, and the patients t!%rein present a pitiful spectacle. The truth is, all of them would be In their graves w?ie~it not for such institutions which are supported by the sale of Christmas frr?' Seals. ?? fc- The Union The annual election held for the Interdenominational Ministerr iiil .Union of Charleston and Vi' cinity resulted in the' election of ?Rev^?Rr?is. Brogdorr, president^ Rev. J.
