being the late B. J. Davis, and
Dr. J. W. Holley, deposed president of Albany State coliege.
~But. this year,~ Hanley said,
~when Talmadge sent to Philade!lphia for Holley to work in
his campaign they met at my
Bell Street Funeral home and
I told them that because of the
notorious stand Talmadge has
taken on the Negro, I canno?

Georgia 1s

Speaking in Fitzgerald Ga.,

last week Talmadge declared
that the future of the white
race in usimerica depends to a

great extent on the outcome of
the gubernatcrial campaign in
Feorgia.

Declared the Sage from Sugar
Creek:

~In this splendid little city
founded by veterans of the
Union army, reconcilation be
tween the Blue and the Gray
sourd its happiest: fruition. Your
fathers and. grandfathers learned that most of the things said

about us in Harriet Beecher
Stewe~s ~Uncle Tom~s Cabin~ are
false, and they became } true
Georgians.

~Above all other Georgians, 1]
believe you can sea -narougl
the lies emanating in Chkago,

Har.em ind Moscow and s*-cad
in this siate by~a numker af
kept daily newspapers like
Ohio Jim Cox~s Atlants Journal.~

Mr. Talmadge said the main
issue of the governor~s campaign
is restoration of the white primary and -maintenance of the
county unit system.

cally was.ithat given to Mrs. |
John Haddow, 11378 Whitcomb, |
who ~reported the landlord,
rank McFarlane, Jr.. had notified them that their rent would
be raised from. $51 tc $150, ~effective immediately.~ The home
is a five-room brick bungalow,
without a garage and coal fired.

Another instance of a drastic
increase. was reported by Edward Larente, of 3762 Harding,
a war veteran. He reported thai
the rent on his five-room flat
hac been raised from $27.50 to
$75 a month.

In Laguna - Beach, California,
a local newspaperman reported
that the rent on his one-room
kitchenette above a garage had
been raised from $35 a monih
to $10.00 a day.

In Miami, Florida, an apartment hotel raised rents from the
ceiiing of $55 a month to $160
and eliminated maid service.

The other side of the picture

is a little brighter. In Milwau-|

kee. Wisconsin, S. L. Gordon, a
clothier, reduced all his prices
by-5 per cent. He said, ~Ill not

be losing money, If all merchants reduce their prices instead of raising tnem.: we

won~t ever need price controi.

And down in Miami one landlori told his tenants he would
reduce their rents from $60 a
month to $50, effective immediately. He said that he thought
~everybody ought to co-operate
to hold prices down, and then
everybody would get along a lot
better.

madge characterized the Atlanta Daily World as a ~hate sheet~
charging that ~every printed
line in the Negvo press is a hymn
against the white race.~

Mr. Talmadge.warned his lis.
teners against such things as reStrictive covenants and inva.
ing of schools by Negroes if we
~permit ourselves to be lulicd
to sleep~ by a mirage of gcoa
government by newspapers opposing. him.

He ended his entire anpeal by
referring to ~those Atlanta hate
sheets~The Journal, the Consti~uiion-and the Atlanta Daily
World,- which accuse me _ of
preaching hatred. I never harbored hatred for my _ fellowmortal in my life, If you want
to s~e real hatred, read the Negro. press, ever) printed line of
which is a hymn of hate against
the white race.~

Project In

DETROIT, Mich. The
Church of All Peoples, interde. |
nominational and interracial pro- |
ject of the Detroit Council of!
Churches, celebrated its first anniversary on Sunday, June 30.

A combined interracial choir)
furnished the music at the ser-|
vices which were held at St.

Dr. Howard Thurman, noted |
clergyman and dean of the!
school of
University, Washington, D. C.,
was the guest minister. Rev. T.
T.: Brumbaugh, Rev. Charles A
Hii~, Rev. Snigeo Tanabe, Rev.
William H. Molbon, and Rev.
Elsworth M. Smith also participated.

Dr. Thurman took as_his text,
~The Quest of Life~s Meaning,~
and said in his sermon that ~ihe
presence of the Church of Al!
Peoples in this city is an expres.
sion of the functioning: of~ goodwill, intelligently directed. as
opvosed to pure sentimentality.

~A meaningless life develops
when the individual, the churck
and its ministers decline to ac.
cept responsidilites.

~The notion that because we
are who we are witht our privileges and power, that God makes
an exception in our cases, in.
vites the simple operation resulting in moral and physicai
delusion.

~We -need no new mandaie, no

mew.theory; we sieed only to
say ~yes~ to God~s call and in
yitiding ourselves find peace

and power.~
