Postmaster Controversy in Atens Highlights Race Clash
The article reports President Roosevelt declining a Black candidate for Atens Georgia postmaster, nominating a White successor due to patron reactions. It argues public offices serve the people, not racial or religious criteria, and cites university students as key voters. An unrelated note covers a Te Deum sermon in Bilost by Rev. Lindsay disputing belief in the devil.
