THE DIFFERENCE The difference between savings and insurance is simply this: If you put $25.00 in the bank at the first of the month, and die one month later, your widow, the next day, would receive exactly $25.07. If you put 60 cents in life insur ance at the first of the month, and die one month later, your widow would receive $1,000.00. —Dotted Line. j SOUTH CAROLINIANS DISSATISFIED WITH FAILURE TO GET LYNCHERS New York—A report by letter to the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People from South Carolina, says that many white people throughout the state are in tensely dissatisfied with the failure of the present governor, Richards, to take action against the still-unpun ished murderers of three members of the Low-man family at Aiken. The letter further reports that the Aiken lynching has had an unfavor able economic effect on the commu nity and many people not in any way I directly implicated in the lynching ! are beginning to feel the effects of I ft ‘CHICAGO FACING RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION — Chicago, 111.— (ANP)—Negro real tors and other leading citizens are up I in arms here at the attempt of the ! Hyde Park association, composed of white residents in that district, to prevent Negroes from occupying or purchasing property in the district south of 35th street, and east of Cot tage Grove avenue, which is at the present time “lily-white.” The colored citizens w-ere further incensed when it was announced that the Chicago Realty Board has placed its official sanct:on upon a contract which is designed to keep Negroes out of the Hyde park district. The terms of this contract develop a complicated system of “districts” headed by gen eral chairmen and has provisions to the end that no Negro shall invade the Hyde park district except in the capacity of a domestic servant. North Carolina claims the first Ne- j gro State College devoted exclusive-1 ly to college education in the south ern states. There is not the usual appendage of “Prep,” “Industrial” or “Manual Training” departments. It began its 1927-28 session September 20th with an overflow attendance. CARD OF THANKS I desire to express my heartfelt gratitude and sincere thanks to my many friends for their kindness and expressions of sympathy in the death of my dear mother.

A steering committee of local civic leaders issued the call, to which a hundred business and professional men and women responded, attesting by voice and cash their enthusiastic approval of the idea. The following carefully conceived program was adopted at the opening dinner. 1. To increase the patronage of our business institutions. 2. To maintain their efficiency and secure their permanency. 3. To develop and foster new and varied enterprises. 4. To open new avenues of em ployment and improve the general economic condition of our citizens. The keynote was sounded by Rev. E. W. Moore, widely known speaker and publicist, and former pastor in Columbus, and his masterful address aroused his hearers to a very high pitch of enthusiasm. Plans were proposed for an exten sive campaign under the full time di rection of a trained executive secre tary, reaching churches, lodges and other organizations, creating greater opportunities and selling Cplumbus to the nation. The Columbus Business associa tion has every assurance of becoming a lasting and beneficial factor in the advancement of our group. BROTHERHOOD’S ATTORNEY DISCUSSES I. C. C. CASE AT PORTERS’ MASS MEETING _ New York—An audience of Pull man porters and maids that filled St. Luke’s hall, recently cheered to the echo the remarks of Hon. Henry T. Hunt, former members of the United States railroad board, ex-mayor of Cincinnati and attorney for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The meeting was called by the union to permit the attorney to discuss with the men the case of the brotherhood now pending before the Interstate Commerce Commission, wherein the porters pray the commission for an investigation of the “tipping evil” as it affects the porters and the travel ing public with a view to abolishing it as the method by which porters and maid3 are rewarded for the-r labors. Attorney Hunt, after deailing with the legal phase of the question, then traced the.history of the relations of the company with the Negro immedi ately after the Civil War when the Negro race in the United States be gan life as so-called freemen. “Snarl ing under the bitterness of defeat, the white people of the South and others assumed that Negroes ought to work longer hours, and for less pay than white men. This idea has spread to such an extent that it is accepted and even defended by those who pose as their friends. The management of the Pullman company seem to be 'of that school.” Continuing, Mr. | Hunt said, “The locomotive engineers 'and the other white railroad workers I enjoy higher incomes and better working conditions, mainly because they have power, power to strike and tie up the transportation system and the nation, unless those who own that system are willing to listen to the demands of the workers and rec ognize their right to share in the ; profits that come to the owners as a result of the workers’ efforts.” This, said Mr. Hunt, is the lesson to be I learned by the Pullman porters. 'You must get together, stand to gether, and if necessary, strike to gether, for your rights.” The aud i ience greeted Mr. Hunt’s reference I to “strike” with sustained and thun derous applause. A. Philip Randolph, general organ izer of the brotherhood, followed At torney Hunt with an address remark able for its blending of oratory, mili tancy, vigor and clarity. “It was a fighting speech,” was the remark heard everywhere in the vast aud ience as it struggled to shake the or ganizer’s hand at the conclusion of the meeting. Randolph also won I prolonged applause when he announc ed that the policy of the brotherhood | toward the new wage conference un jder the so-called employe represen tation plan of the Pullman company |would be one of vigorous and relent less opposition. “I hereby serve no : tice on every member of the brother jhood to refuse absolutely to vote for j the company-chosen delegates to this | so-called conference. The company must not again be permitted to in veigle you into signing another ‘yel low dog* contract.” Others who addressed the porters were Roy Lancaster, secretary-treas urer, and S. E. Grain, field represen tative of the Brotherhood of Sleep ing Car Porters. Frank R. Cross waith presided. According to the latest available statistics there are 71 Negro women doctors practicing medicine in the United States. FOR RENT—Two rooms, neatly fur nished, strictly modern.
