the place.
But the Johnsons believed in
growing their own food in order to
put something aside for a rainy
day. “Of course, we wanted a farm
of our own,” says Mr. Johnson,
“but we knew we would probably
never save up enough to make the
down-payment.”
Then one day they got the idea
of applying to the Farmers Home
for a loan to buy a farm. On the
record of their efforts to save by
living at home, their application
wa? approved, and a few months
latoY they moved into a new home
on 84 acres that cost them $4,084.
“We’ve been offered $9,000 for
our place,” says Mrs. Johnson, “but
we wouldn’t think of selling it.”
Although they had 40 years in
which to repay their loan, they
have already cut their indebtedness
down to less than $1,000. Two of
their five daughters have graduat
ed from college, and the other
three are headed in the same di
rection.
“We owe a lot to banners Home,
our supervisor, and to our county
agent, J. C. Dunbar,” says Mr.
Johnson, “they encouraged us to
apply more fertilizer, grow cover
crops, and cprry out other sound
soil building practices, as well as
poison our cotton against boll
weevils.”
When they bought their farm,
the cotton yield was less than n
half a hale to the acre, and they
thought they were doing well when
they got 20 bushels of corn off an
acre. Now their cotton yield has
more than doubled, and three years
ag<>. they produced 137 bushels of
corn on one acre—highest yield
in the countv. Their average yield
now is 50 bushels per acre.
Seldom does a week pass that the
Johnsons are not taking something
to town to sell. Sometimes it’sJmt
termilk and butter and vegetables,
sometimes it’s a few chickens and
eggs, and frequently it’s a calf or
a hog.
“We plan to expand our diversi
fied cropping program and reduce
our cotton acreage,” Mr. Johnson
states, “you just can’t beat a year
round income.”

to take the trouble to inquire
whether the Haitians were favor
able to having the United States
send an ambassador of color to
represent this country there. The
Haitians would of course have to
declare our proposed official ac
ceptable to them before he was
appointed.
Some political observers have
pointed to the fact that for years
the representative to Haiti has
been a white man. Some have
gone so far as to say that Haiti
did not wish a colored ambassador
because be might not have influ- !
ence in Washington to effectively i
serve the needs of that country.
It is pointed out that last yea? ’
Haiti received a loan from the
Import-Export Hank of $14,000,
000. There may be a question in
Haiti’s mind as to whether a Ne
gro representative might have the
contacts to achieve results of this
type.
Speculation continues to flow in
connection with Rev. Carey. His
first desire was to l»e one of the
secretaries or assistants in the
presidential office according to
some of his friends. When next
he wavered from allegiance to the
church, the able minister w'ho
really stumped the country for
Ike. is said to have been interested
in a position as a permanent dele
gate on the United Nations.

tine affair” between. Mosely and
the married woman. The pair
were reportedly seated in Moselv’s
parked automobile a few blocks
away from the arrested woman’s!
fashionable home.
Investigating officers said that
evidence suggested that a fight !
ensued between Mosely and Mrs. I
McClain over the return of photos I
and love letters they had ex
changed between each other as the
climax of breaking off their al
leged illicit romance.
Mates of both parties reported
ly were away from home at the
tune of 'the fatal incident. Mosely’s
wife reportedly was visiting an ill
mother in Mississippi. Mrs. Mc
Clain’s husband, identified as a
TCI miner, was said to have been
at work.
Mosely is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Lillie L. Mosely, and a son,
They lived at 1204 West First
Court.
Funeral arrangements wrere ex
pected to be announced b£ South

Mosely was a 1929 graduate of
Morehouse College where he wron
letters in football, baseball and
track. He had taught school in
the city ^id countv systems of
. Birmingham wdiere he established
a record as coach.
This became Birmingham’s 13th
Negro homicide in 35 davs charged
against a member of the victim’s
racial group. It is the third racial
slaying within three days and the
27th in the last sis months. >

Founders Day celebration here in
recent years.
The celebration is held here each
! year on June 12th in honor of the
j late Isaac T. Montgomery, last
I Negio member of the Mississippi
state legislature founder of the
town.
The Founders Day program
I opened promptly at 3 o’clock with
Fred II. Miller, president of the
blks State Association, presiding.
Mr. Miller presented Mr. How
ard as one of the greatest states
men of the race of all times and
made it clear that he is a native
Mississippian sprin ging from
Holmes County.
In opfening his address Mr.
Howard paid the greatest respects
to the town of Mound Bayou and
its mayor, Honorable B. A. Greene,
who he said could manage New
York City just as well as he does
the town of Mound Bayou.
In the opening part of his
speech, Mr. Howard said “If the
Negro can vote in other states he
should and will vote in Missis
sippi,” adding, “Get the vote and
you can have anything you want.”
Continuing he said: “It has
been proven that if you give a
Negro a chance he can make good,”
! a point which he emphasized by
' pointing to Dr. Ralph Bunche, now
| regarded as one of the world’s top
j diplomats. “Cive us .an even
j chance, that’s all we want,” he
added here.
Speaking in defense of his party,
j he said, “General Ike has just
[ taken office and after a little time
| he will surpass both Roosevelt and
I pastor of John Wesley Church,
j Washington, is the current chair
man of the ministers and laymen
association.
-o—
No wonder we’re dumb. We go
to college to improve our faculties.
Our instructors are our faculties.
Therefore, we go to college to im
prove our instructors.
i-—
Truman.”
In the struggle for a better day
he pointed to an all-out need for
greater unity in the Negro race,
and called upon Negroes to work
together with white people to
eliminate race difficulties which
stand in the way of a better state
and a better nation.
At the conclusion of his speech,
Mr. Howard received a standing
ovation from the crowd that jam
packed the Mound Bayou high
school auditorium.
Mayor ('reene, preceding Mr.
Howard, told of the progress and
future outlook of the town and
introduced relatives of the original
settlers of the town.
The mayor presented the annual
award to a long and devoted native
son, Mr. Paul Crump, who hasn’t
