OCTOBER 15, 1921. * * * Give u* more schools and better schools. ; ! * Read colored journals and pay for them-there's ; none so good for the race. * * * You see ali pf us are not made alike, that's why we .suppose- some preach one thing and practice another. * ? * Judging from the number of tour ing cars passing through, the city head ed southward, ! the seashore loiters are being driven back home by the autumn breezes- and, by the way, that reminds us that not only is it true that South ern Negroes don't like Northern cli mates in the idead cf tne winter but some "white folks'* dcn'-t like it. I * * * Think not that it is Henry Lincoln Johnson who has lost, alone, the ap pointment as jrecorder of deeds, but that the race has failed to get due rec ognition. ! * ? * From one,act; cf unlawfulness to an other, G?orgia imoves, but there seems ? to be a state of peonage throughout the * State. In Pek?n ccunty three white} farmers are held under bond for $3, 000, each charged with holding- three colored citizens;in peonage. May they have the full mjeasure of the law. j * * * Despite the jravages of the bell, weevil and cuti worms, our honest j1 subscribers are "gradually paying their 1 just dues to us. Thoce who cannot u pay up at present are writng asking 'a for extension ofj time, when they will pay their-just dues with the request that the paper tje continued. i* * * We note in an editorial squib in The Atlanta Independent cf last week that our Rev. pr. W. H. Moses en dorses the Ku Klux Klan. The Inde pendent, however, does not reler to this Rev. Moses as tfce nation-wide known Dr. Mpsek It simply says "oo&|j - ???a? liiOLtt"" Texas, Pennsyl vania ' ani . ?veiy where." The squib read?s thus: . | **The latest- freak cf nature or mon strosity is a . Njcgro preacher defend - ing and ju\tilling the existence ofj J the Ku Klux Klan-ene W. H. Moses .rom Texas, Fennsy.vania and every-' - where else except the habitat of the ? devil." j ? If this be thejwell known. Dr. Moses jJ who on.e pastored in this State and 1 stll makes us al yearly visit, we would t admonish thc Baptist brethren tc let the bad:ge.nt;eniian know that he will 1 no longer be tlie* welcome visitor he j on.e was. Such a character as this en- 1 dorsing or defending the Ku .Klux * Klan, an organization built upon ?1 hatred for the Negro, is by n: means a friend to his race and should be ostracised. Dr. J. C. S. jNTevIs, upon whom has; been entrusted the task of putting over the "Big 30 Days' Drive" for the1 United Investment Company, which op-j erates the RegaU Drug Store, returned \ from Wilmington, Delaware, last week and is now oh the job putting over , this drive,. j . ^ j While the Columbia Negroes are in the mode or> putting over big things as well as small things now is the time when we shoulid all line up and take stock. Beyond! a r ease nable doubt, the Regal Dru'g Store is one of the biggest propositions in the State, and one of the bejst paying propositions into which Columbians can invest their money. The^ object of increasing the capital stock from $20]000 to $45,000 is to put in reach of ev?ry man and woman in Columbia the opportunity of becoming a part of the iirst and most substan tial racial proposition in the city of Columbia ownjed, operated and con trolled exclusively by Negroes. An other feature ojf this big proposition is last, but by no means, the least, to teach* racial cej-op?ration. The shares are $10.00 each; Subscribe for as many as you want jbut by all means sub scribe for sorcje and heip to put Co lumbia in Al progressive class. The step to employ the unemployed, we tru-t, will also in Jude many worthy young (Negro boys other than . through the pojlice court to the city or county -.hain ?ang. There are sccres of Ncg.o boys jwho w*nt work and are .eaily ia, ?earclb of it each day to no avail. In our editorial mention last week in wh? h we de:-it with ""The Negro Printer," some :>f 3 vrLs read it and have ??a ;<te?; o? ?i>* ^u u?s?es c? a publisher oi a newspaper, iuhulred .vhy we did not appeal tor printing in ur own deiense, sin.e punishing The ndicator at times draws heavily on our job pnnting department. At the time we were wrapped up in the cause of the race and provoked by some who iid not make a m.stake but had done . great wrong to Neg.o pnnters. /lureiore we took a b.oader v^ew of -h. situation, it i-_ a iau, however, that seme busi er and pro.ess.cnal men- think that . newspaper is not on.y se.f-suslain-j ag tut should be profitab.e by reason ? ?ii returns irom subscriptions and ad vertisements, and thereiore when they -ubscribe or give an ad they expect that to keep the paper g.ing profitably to the publisher and their job pr.nting .an be distributed miscellaneously anywhere e:se. Yet some of these same people aliow their subscriptions _uid advertis.ng bills to lag unti] some of theni are actually cut. off the .ist for la:k cf payment. But with the steady increase of enterprises and racial co-operation even the publishers of newspapers will benefit thereby in the near luture. ONE EXCEPTION. The Negro press of this country, with but one exception, (as there is al ways an exception to the best things by some) is a unit in condemning President Harding's administration and that exception is The New York Age. As the Negro papers are but the voice of the people and especially in this particular crisis, The New York Age is bound to lower its high standard. We are at a loss, along with the other Negro journals of this coun try, to understand why The Age should "ret altogether in a class to itself igainst the race in a matter of such rital importance as the political sit-j< ?ation cf this country today and the granting to Negroes merited recog lit'on at the hands of the president. Some time ago the cheap white poli icians of Virginia who bel'*--ve the lepubiican administration because it s in power but who cannct be ??n^d p with Negroes, met and organize! il s they have attempted to do in S'.?:i*L ?J karolina and Georgia, a Jilly wi'.flI arty to thc exclusion ol Negroes, in i J "irg.nia they succeeded behind locked !| cors guarded by policeman. With the j j Negroes of Virginia there WHS but cne|| ourse to pursue, and .that was to or-j anize them* :;vr^ .jlnaU a full I tate ticket in ?.?1**1 oz iht hhy\ rhites. This they did. Referring to this act on the nart of olio wing to say: * This ebullition of feeling was to be . peeted as a natural result of the o.v.y which would lessen the patron ge doled out to the race in the Seuth rn States. It is weil to face the facts n the case without evasion or dis use of the real issues involved. That h. R:pub.ican party in the South has .ot been of late years any more than i vkeietcn organization, sufficient to nake a showing at a National Conven or and furnish delegates whose votes ?.vc been a sour.e ot scandal and con enticn." lt seems that Editor Moore is sit ing hard and fast cn the fence, loping for some self-consideration at :he hands of this administration and it the- coa of the race. Here is hop rig that his will be a heavy blow of lisappointment that he will join his co laborers for justice to the race. NEW ENTERPRISES FOR COLUMBIA. On the 3rd of September the Indus trial Building and Loan Asociation, a strictly racial enterprise, opened its books cf subscription and is doing a creditable business. Mr. N. H. Collins is the affable and business-like presi den!. Today, October 15th, The Victory Savings Bank* will open its doors for business temporarily in The Royal Theater building. It is hoped that this opening will be creditable and last ing. Some of the best business men in the city are connected with this bank in an official way, many of whom con trol thousands of'dollars that will be placed in this bank on this date. This is a new venture in an untried field for Columbians and The Indicator would admonish the officials to steer clear of unhealthy criticisms. Another now enterprise fer Colum-j bia is the Leevy Clothing store at 1131 ! Washington street, which will alco, open for business on the 15th. Mr.. Leevy has spent several thousand <.>..; lars remodeling this store and placing j therein new fixtures and new s:^',;.| For the time being this storr on W" j ington street will be a br^pch to Mr. j Leevy*s Taylor Street store.

Crowded Waverley School. The patrons of Waverley Union School for Negroes would certainly ap preciate the much needed improved conditions of that school. The class rooms are over crowded and more :eachers are badly needed because of this unwholesome condition. Certain ly conditions can not remain thus and the children receive justice. It seems that Districts 3 and 4 are somewhat combined through a mistake of some kind. The school building belongs to District No. 3 yet it is built in Dis trict No. 4 with only teachers sufficient for District No. 3, and no school build ing for the accommodation of children ;n District No. 4. Certainly this is a matter chat the trustees of both dis tricts should harmonize on the one :Choo! building at present and begin arrangements for the necessary change -ext year. Time is p'assing toe rapidly Lo delay this all'important matter with many children who are entitled to : : :per school accommodations in these districts are, some of them, forced to sro to p~y schools and some by reason of these depressing tines must remain ou? o\ s hool.
