'North State' Negroes Stirred Up Divided Ovations Everywhere CROWDS OF WHITE AND COLOR- ED CITIZENS GREET THE WORLD'S FAMOUS ADVOCATE OF COMMON SENSE EDUCATION AT EVERY STATION. Progress of Negro With surprise by distinguished men who accompanied Dr. Washington under the direction of Bishop Clinton.—The itinerary. Greenaboro, N. C., October 30.—Dr. Booker T. Washington and party reached here to-night, in the course of a tour covering all of the principal cities of the State of North Carolina. An immense crowd of white and colored people were at the station to greet the world's most famous advocate of "common-sense" education and international evangel of racial amity. The citizens of Greensboro have left no stone unturned to make the visit of Dr. Washington memorable, and their sincere appreciation of his worth and work is attested by the fact that not only have the colored people here suspended their regular Sunday evening services to give him freedom of the city, but the white churches held a short meeting at their respective houses of worship, closing early in order that an opportunity might be given every one to hear the Negro's acknowledged "first citizen." An audience numbering fully 6,000 turned out to-night at the great Hippodrome, the largest auditorium in the State. At least 1,500 of the audience were whites. Despite the chilliness of the evening, the bulk of this massive crowd remained until the close of what was, in many respects the most spirted deliverance the Doctor has made on this trip. Hon. E. J. Justice, Ex-Speaker of the North Carolina legislature, gave Dr. Washington a warm welcome and testified in eloquent terms to the value of the doctrine he is teaching. In the final analysis, said Mr. Justice, all labor is honorable and education is a prime necessity in making labor eminent. The best educated man can labor best, and the best way to get away from drudgery is to become intelligent enough to use the most scientific methods of performing the service that the world needs. Along his own line and in his own way, assisted by broad-minded whites, the two races will work out their destiny in this—the best country on earth. The choir, under the direction of Prof. W. H. Howze, rendered classical selections among them "The Ifammatus," with obligato by Mrs. Annie Nelson, and Major R. R. Moton, led the congregation and several plantation melodies, which evoked enthusiastic applause, especially in the boxes occupied by the white visitors. Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, a former resident of Greensboro, introduced Dr. Washington in happy vein. Bishop Clinton told of the personnel of the party now touring the State. Dr. Washington talked for nearly two hours and held the closest attention of his great audience throughout, his wit and humor serving to drive home the great truth that in less skillful hands might not have been so palatable in the midst of a political campaign in a southern community. Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant United States District Attorney, of Boston and prospective Assistant Attorney General of the United States, joined the party at this point. The Itinerary. The pilgrimage began at Charlotte last Friday, where a big day was spent. Saturday was divided between Concord and Salisbury. Saturday night High Point was visited, and Sunday was given over to Winston-Salem. Sunday night finds the party at Greensboro, with Reidsville, scheduled for Monday morning. Then the afternoon will be put in at Greensboro, with Durham as the objective point for Monday night, lying over there for a further program Tuesday morning. Wilson, Rocky Mount.

Nashville, Tennessee, November 2. —(Special.)—Politics occupy the center of the stage in the Volunteer State at this writing. It is a toss up whether Bob Taylor and "Harmony" or Capt. Ben Hooper and "Law Enforcement" shall triumph on November 8th. They are the rival candidates for Governor of Tennessee. "Ham" Patterson, the present governor, saw a hard road to travel if he was to have a third term. The outlook was a hopeless one. Patterson withdrew as the Democratic nominee. "Fiddling" Bob Taylor has now come upon the scene to do the rescue act. He proposes to save the democratic party in the State, if he has to sacrifice his good fat job as United States Senator from Tennessee. He is traveling over the State on "The Democratic Special" calling upon "the hill billies," Red-Necks, and Negroes to save the party from destruction at the hands of the Republicans and Independent. Democrats sometimes together and called "The Fusion Party." Hooper, the Republican candidate, is supposed to represent all there is of character and worth in the State, of Tennessee. So the white Republicans and Independent white Democrats say; they also accuse "Our Bob" of being Ham Patterson's putty ball rolled to order for the occasion of Nov. 8th. Patterson, they say is "the biggest grafter who ever sat in the governor's chair". They accuse him of pardoning a murderer Duncan Cooper. He is charged with being the heichman of the whiskey ring and about everything else in the calendar of evil doing. In the light of these "awful crimes" Hooper has come out of the mountains of East Tennessee in answer to "the divine call' to save the people—to rescue the State. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. The Negro Voter In The Contest. The colored voters in Tennessee are as much divided as "the white folks". They have learned the game of politics in a measure. They are divided into two groups. The Independent Colored Republicans led by P. F. Hill and The Central Republicans or "Old Liners" led by J. C. Napier, the newly appointed Aegister of the United States Treasury. The Negroes have no state organization worth considering, but the leaders of the two factions are traveling about the state and doing the usual amount of "stump speaking" in the interest of their candidates. P. F. Hill and his crowd, are for Taylor, "first, last and all the time." J. C. Napier is supposed to have charge of the organization of "representative" Negroes who are expected to stand for the Republican party and vote for Hooper. The facts are so much in favor of both candidates that it will be hard to tell until after election just which side will receive the most colored votes. Some of the best Negroes of the State of Tennessee will vote for Bob Taylor and Democratic supremacy. They have the "Booker Washington Fever". They believe in cultivating the friendship of their Southern white brethern. President Taft encouraged them to do so in his speech at the dedication of Carnegie Library of Fisk University, while he was a candidate for the Republican nomination. So a great many have decided to vote with the white men of South and the Democratic party against the regular Republican organization. They are for "peace and progress" and believe they can get it by voting of the Democratic candidates. On the other hand a great many Colored voters believe that whatsoever has been done—great or small—for the Negro, it has been done by the Republican party and they propose to vote for Hooper for that reason. An outsider can easily see that the Republicans have done very little for the Negro masses in Tennessee. The organization has been careful and skilful enough to keep THE ADVOCATE.

The presence of a large class of men which had no rights under the law made those things possible but what made slavery then was and what will bring on slavery again is leave one class of men solely dependent upon another class for the making of the laws and their enforcement. This is all too evident to-day when a class with the power in its hands is cooping the other class by legislative enactments and by violence in the name of the law. A votelessman is a slave and in no other way is slavery possible.

The party did give Napier a job finally but they kept him out of it so long it is doubtful if he can appreciate it as much as as would if he had been recognized earlier. He is a good and loyal Republican just the same and deserved better treatment. 'Be Men of Convictions' REV. CARROLL TELLS HIS CONGREGATION AT SIMPSON M. E. CHURCH. in all to fight the Israelites. David sent all the mighty men under Joa to meet these. But the Syrians were gathered in the field while the Ammonites were in the city. Joa, seeing that he was surrounded by the enemy, chose all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians and the rest of the peep he gave into the hands of his brother, Abishai, that he might put them in array against the Ammonites. The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, a Taylor organ prints now and then some articles, supposed to be written by "Joader" Ben Carr, advising the Negroes of the State on the coming election. "Ben Carr is a Patterson Negro" and in the language of P. F. Hill, who was for Patterson and is for Taylor now. "The white people are trying to force Ben Carr upon the Negroes. He is an ignoramus and they are not going to submit to being led by "an ignorant porter" Summing up, it will be a hard matter for either the Republicans or Democrats to command full strength of the Negro voters of the State, because the colored people who vote can never become reconcile to the leadership of either J. C. Napler, P. F. Hill or Ben Carr. The most thoughtful Negroes vote their own convictions without regard to the leadership of any one man or any set of men selected by either party to corral the Negro vote. Fishermen's Bank In Receiver's Hands INSTITUTION, IT IS CHARGED, HAD BEEN MISMANAGED A NUMBER OF YEARS, IS TOTALLY INSOLVENT AND UNABLE TO MEET ITS OBLIGATIONS THOUGH THOUGHT TO BE SAFE Newport News, Va., Oct. 25—A petition asking that the Gallilean Fisherman's Bank. Incorporated, of Hamilton, be placed in the hands of receivers, was filed in the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City county today. The petition was presented on behalf of John A. Smith, a stockholder and depoitor of the bank and avers that the bank has been mismanaged for a number of years, that it is totally insolvent and that it is without means of meeting its obligations. It is alleged in the petition that the bank has liabilities aggregating $24,010,96 and assets aggregating only $20,784,62. There was no opposition to the petition and Judge Robinson immediately named Attorney A. W. Basset, Jr., and B. A. Lewis, receivers, fixing their bond at $25,000 each. There was no opposition to the receivership. The Galilean bank is a colored institution and was organized in 1001. Though not a large institution, the bank was regarded for some time as being perfectly safe and only recently has its failure to realize upon its loans forced it gradually into an insolvent condition. 'Be Men of Convictions' REV. CARROLL TELLS HIS CONGREGATION AT SIMPSON M. E. CHURCH. On fact that it is dry and urges Negro voters to do their duty to themselves and their families by supporting party pledged to moral reform. In the course of his remarks to his congregation at Simpson M. E. church, Sunday night, the Rev. J. S. Carrol, pastor, made some timely observations as the political situation. In part he said: Nahash, King of the Ammonites, was dead. David, King of Israel, out of respect for Nahash and sympathy for the stricken people, sent men to comfort Hanum the son of Nahash. When David's servants came to the land of the Ammonites to bear the words of comfort from David, the Ammonites said to Hanum, "Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?" How truly has it been said that it has been a matter of just complaint through all the history of mankind, that there is little sincerity in courts. Courtiers especially are suspicious of each other, and often mislead their coverings. They feel themselves to be insincere, and suspect others to be so too." So these courtiers of Hanum misled him.: He took David's servants and shaved off one half their beards, and cut off their garments even to their buttucks, and sent them away. In Eastern countries, the beard is held in high respect. The possessor considers it his greatest ornament; often sweeps by it; and in matters of great importance, pledges it. Nothing can be more secure than a pledge of this kind; its owner will redeem it at the hazard of his life. The beard was never cut off but in mourning, or as the sign of slavery. Thus the cutting off one half the beard and the clothing of the men rendered them ridiculous, and made them look like slaves. This act upon the part of the Ammonites was an insult to all Israel. When David heard of it, he sent men to meet these men and tell them to stay at Jericho until their beards were grown out again. The Ammonites saw that they had made themselves abominable in the sight of the Israelites and so they at once prepared for war. They hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoha, twenty thousand footmen, and of the King Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men; thirty three thousand men Negro Republican Rally Court House, Charleston, W.

David sent all the mighty men under Joab to meet these. But the Syrians were gathered in the field while the Ammonites were in the city. Joab, seeing that he was surrounded by the enemy, chose all the choice men of Israel and put them in array against the Syrians and the rest of the people he gave into the hands of his brother, Abishal, that he might put them in array against the Ammonites. Then addressing his army, he said, "If the Syrians be too strong for me, then shalt thou help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee." Then as if to give them courage he adds: "Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good." Says one, "This is a very fine military address, and is equal to anything in ancient or modern times." Men, to-night as I think of these combined forces of the Syrians and Ammonites arrayed against Israel and how they sought to defeat them. I think of the mighty forces of evil arrayed against the powers of righteousness. As we contend with these mighty powers let the words of Joah serve as a watchword through not only this conflict which is before us in this city and county but, through all the battles in which we may be engaged. In this hour of political unrest and social and moral reform, may I not pass along this word to all the soldiers of Jesus Christ, "Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good?" My brothers, you have a great responsibility resting upon you. Whether we as a race are to be further advanced or more shamefully humiliated lies largely with you. Your wives, mothers, sisters and daughters and sons are looking to you. When the clouds of this political campaign have passed away, what will these helpless ones find? Will there be a cause for rejoicing or will there be causes for shame? Shall they be compelled to call to mind your unfaithfulness? To-night I call upon you to do two things;—Be courgeous and Be Men. In politics, in religion, in social (CONTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) OF FIRST MONTH AT FISK UNIVERSITY LARGELY DUE TO NEW PRESIDENT. Old Guard Passing Much new talent has been added to faculty. — Kealing, president-elect of Western University is honored by Nashville friends with a banquet. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 2.—Special. Fisk University has just concluded the first month's work of the new school session. The opening this year is undoubtedly the brightest in the history of this magnificent institution. The experience of the past year confirms the wisdom of the trustees of Fisk in the choice of the new president. Dr. Geo. A. Gates is a man of sound scholarship, high ideals and unquestioned courage. The institution is already thoroughly saturated with his strenuous spirit. The new president is a progressive man. He knows and understands the trend of our national life. He has read the signs of the times. How well he has read them, can best be known by the remarkable change noted in the school life at Fisk. His coming has deepened the religious, the intellectual and the social life of the University. It can be seen on the campus, in the class rooms and the dormitory life of the students. There is less frivolity and more dignity and hard work in the atmosphere of Fisk. The alumni and friends scattered throughout the nation are glad of this for the institution has needed a change in the spirit of its student body. It is a hard task to preserve the honored traditions of a great school like Fisk. It is particularly difficult to do at a time when great changes are taking place in the institution. The "old guard" is fast passing away. Of those who came first, only Dean H. H. Wright remains. Prof. Sorbiner, Dr. C. W. Morrow and the librarian, Miss K. N. Marvin have been longest on the Fisk Faculty among those who have come during the past fourteen years. The ranks have been filled up with new talent and now Fisk can boast of the best faculty among all the institutions of higher education in the South. The best universities of the land are represented on the faculty of Fisk. The dormitories are crowded. The students are enthusiastic and earnest. The graduates are loyal and sincere in their love for the institution and there is every reason to conclude that Fisk has just begun a new era of progress and is stopping off on a triumphant march which shall only end when the institution takes rank with the best universities of the world as the great university for the high education of Negroes. The University Club, gave Prof. H. T. Kealing a very happy surprise on Friday evening, Oct. 29th. The occasion was an informal gathering of the members of the Club, other friends and invited guests at the home of the new president of Western University, before his departure for Quindaro, Kansas on Sunday night. More than thirty of the most talented men and women of Nashville joined in this testimonial of friendship and high regard for the man and citizen. The testimonial in honor of Prof. Kealing was entirely informal and in keeping with his dignity and modesty. The friends all met promptly at the Keeling home and the members of the University Club took possession for the evening. It was a most brilliant gathering in point of character and intelligence. Prof. H. L. Keith of the City Public Schools was master of ceremony (Continued on page five.) AND OFFICIALS ARE LIABLE TO CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OR ACCOUNT OF QUESTIONABLE METHODS OF HANDLING OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.

Richmond, Va., Oct. 27—No event which might have befallen the colored race in America could have produced a more profound shock or could be more far-reaching in its effects than the suspension of the license of the Grand Fountain, U. O. of True Reformers, which was done yesterday afternoon by the Bureau of Insurance of Virginia. The True Reformers is at once the largest, the most prominent, and has hitherto been regarded as the most successful of all the colored secret societies in the world, around whose existence so much of the activity of the race centers. The big financial and fraternal organization was brought to its fall by the crash of the Savings Bank of True Reformers, an allied institution, which yesterday applied for a receiver in the Chancery Court of the city of Richmond. The crisis was forced by an order issued on Tuesday by the Bureau of Insurance requiring the True Reformers' officers to appear this morning at 10 o'clock to show cause why its license to do business should not be revoked. Ties up Business. The suspension of the license is absolute. The order as issued yesterday by Deputy Insurance Commissioner J. N. Brenaman, sets forth that action is taken "on account of the gross mismanagement, if not criminal negligence, of its present and former management in safeguarding its funds." All fees and dues of applicants initiated after this date are to be returned immediately. No applications for beneficial membership in any branch of the association must be considered or any initiations permitted in this State while the order is effective. Still, out of the wreck of the insurance society, the bank and the allied industrial and mercantile concern, the Bureau of Insurance hopes to get enough salvage to permit the True Reformers to continue in business as an individual organization. From all accounts, it is impossible that the bank can ever again reopen its doors, but the fraternal organization has always been in good circumstances, and would have today been in splendid financial condition but for its alliance with the bank and other enterprises. The whole trouble has arisen from the apparently irresistible tendency of Negro insurance officials to start banks and later to engage in other lines of business, which usually take the money earned by the original or parent order. In but few instances have such plans succeeded. With a membership of approximately 60,000, nearly half of whom are in Virginia and the others scattered over the Atlantic States, the True Reformers' officials have, either (CONTINUED ON BACK TITLE) CURRESPON DENCE 5, Mls: Stella Suiith, of Plymouth who. bas beta visiting friends in St “Alans the:past week, returned home BHGay evening, > J. .W.

Washington, Tarboro, NewBern and other points will be visited in turn, and on Thursday the itinerary will wind up with a rousing farewell meeting at Wilmington. The local committees everywhere, extending hospitality of the most lavish character and the distinguished guest and his associates are finding the South to be indeed the "garden spot of the nation," as far as the industrial opportunity, educational spirit and material prosperity are concerned. The Personnel of the Party. Accompanying Dr. Washington through the State is a party of men representing practically every field of useful endeavor known to the race and nation. They are men who stand for achievement—for things worth while—and the contact of the visitors and the "home folks" is freely acknowledged to be a mutual inspiration. Perhaps no previous tour has exceeded the present gathering in point of number and personal prominence. The immediate guest party is made up as follows: From Tuskegee Institute —Dr. Booker T. Washington; Emmett J. Scott, his private secretary and recently a member of the United States Commission to Liberia; Nathan Hunt, his stenographer; J. H. Washington, director of industries; Dr. J. A. Kenney, resident physician; C. W. Green, superintendent of Truck Gardening. Hampton Institute—Major R. R. Moton, commandant, and T. B. Williams, field agent of the John P. Slater fund. Washington, D. C.—R. W. Thompson, manager of Thompson's National News Bureau, and W. Sidney Pittman, the noted architect. New Orleans—Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate. Boston—W. H. Lewis, Assistant United States District Attorney and prospective Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and Dr. Robert E. Park, magazine writer and literateur. Columbia, S. C.—Rev. Richard Carroll, president of the South Carolina State Fair Association. Hopkinsville, Ky.—Horace D. Slatter, a national correspondent. Among the prominent North Carolina inans in the party are Rev. G. C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion; Attorney J. T. Sanders; Dr. W. T. McCrory, president of Biddle University; all of Charlotte; Mr. McCryar, of Wilmington; Prof. S. A. Peeler, president of Bennett College; Dr. J. E. Dellinger, Prof. C. H. Moore, of Greenboro, Prof. J. M. Avery, Prof. Amey, Editor W. S. Young and others of Durham; J. A. Garan, of High Point and George F. King, representing a number of daily papers of the State, with headquarters at Greensboro. Others joned the party and traveled from point to point, contributing much to the fund of information that all of the visitors acquire At Charlotte At Charlotte, in the great Auditorium, Dr. Washington on Friday evening addressed a vast audience, conservatively estimated at 3,000, half of them being whites of the most influential type. The demonstration which greeted the "Wizard" has not been duplicated in the State on any similar occasion. Bishop Clinton presided and Mayor T. W. Hawkins derived a felicitous address of welcome. Dr. Washington's speech, the tenor of which has been widely published in the dallies teemed with ripe philosophy, rare wit, and sent home truths which set forth in less skillful fashion would scarcely have been A big line, all colors, latest styles.

Dr. Washington appeals to the common sense, to the human element in his audience, and discarding oratorial flights and ornate verbiage, he gets at once into the hearts of his people and never fails to hit his mark. His arguments are convincing and his voice is ever attuned to the spirit of progress, uplift and racial harmony. "I know of no white man that I could have listened to so long on my feet," declared a well-known citizen, who could not find a seat in the crowded edifice. "The Wizard's Purpose in Brief. Beginning his address, Dr. Washington explained his purpose, in brief: "I have but one object in coming into your midst, and that is to see the condition of my people at first hand, and to observe how we can best elevate our citizens and better cement the relationship between the white man and the Negro in this great and progressive commonwealth," said Dr. Washington, and this he repeated at the various gatherings throughout the State. It told the story in a nutshell, but the full text must be heard or read to fully grasp the largeness of the subject he presented. A magnificent banquet at the palatial home of Bishop Clinton followed the exercises at the Auditorium Dr. Washington spoke in the afternoon at the Baptist convention in session at Charlotte, and afterwards assisted in laying the corner-stone of the new Varick Memorial Building, the publishing house of the A. M. E. Zilon church. Biddle University was visited and the spot where the original Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence was passed during the sight-seeing drive. At Concord. The party reached Concord early Saturday morning, was escorted to Scotia Seminary by the local committee, headed by Dr. John Fuller. This is one of the best schools for girls in the country, and here an elaborate breakfast was served. Dr. Washington talked encouragingly to the 20 students there. At the opera house a large audience greeted him. Mayor Charles Wagoner's welcome was heartily commended. The whites and Negroes in the gathering were about evenly divided. Major Moton's plantation melodies were applauded to the echo. A* Salisbury. Salisbury, the intellectual center of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was reached at high noon. The chairman of the local committee, Dr. W. H. Goler, president of Livingstone College gave the party a delightful drive about the city, including an inspection of the National Cemetery. At the station it was announced that Hon. J. S. Sherman, Vice-President of the United States, was in one of the trains, and would be pleased to pay his respects to Dr. Washington. Escorted by a newspaper man, the genial smile of the Vice-President was soon observed by the crowd and the second officer of the government was given a heart cheer. A brief but mutually enjoyed chat took place between the Vice-President and the "Wizard." Mr. Sherman jocularly remarked that he and Dr. Washington were in North Carolina on similar missions—to "convert sinners unto righteousness." Dinner was served at the home of Dr. Goler, and then a complete survey of Livingstone College was made. The new $20,000 building of the Hood Theological Seminary and the handsome $12,000 Carnegie Library came in for sincere admiration. Both are very creditable and useful structures and have added much to the scope and efficiency of the institution. The school now has over 200 students, and the boys gave an enjoyable exhibition of their skill in military tactics. Meroneys commodious and well-appointed theater, used for the first time for a meeting under Negro auspices, was filled, and Dr. Washington was warmly welcomed by Mayor A. L. Smoot, who paid the man and his work a high tribute, as did also Former Mayor A. H. Boyden, who spoke at the close of Dr. Washington's address. The latter confessed that he was "of the old school," adhering naturally to many of the ancient traditions, but he could not forbear to give all praise to the men and women who are following Dr. Washington along the upward path and bringing greatness to the state and to the South. He fought in the civil war and could never forget the fidelity of the old colored people—"the mammies and daddies" who watched over the home, who stood by wife and children, with affection and loyalty, throughout the four years of sectional strife. Both Mayors spoke in flattering terms of the splendid work that is being carried on at Livingstone College, declaring that an inspiration for local helpfulness had been generated by the presence of Dr. Washington and the concrete example set by him at Tuskegee was being emulated here for the good of both races. A quartet sang folk songs and Major Moton obliged with a few of his choice selections. "The white man can beat the Negro at many things—at most things perhaps"—declared the Major in a little talk, "but there is one thing the whites cannot beat a Negro at if they live to be a thousand years old. That is in singing Negro songs. The Negro can sing his own songs better than any one can sing them and he should not be ashamed of them. Every race has its own songs and the Negro should be proud of his ability to bring out the true meaning of the beautiful melodies that cheered out fathers and mothers in the dark days of bondage, giving them spiritual solace. The singing of Major Moton is one of the distinctive features of the tour and never falls to delight the people of every station. At High Point. The High Point Normal and Industrial Institute proved to be a gracious host at High Point. This attractive school is presided over by Prof. A. J. Griffin, and he is ably assisted by his estimable wife, who is the matron of the establishment, Dr. J. A. Garman had the party in charge and escorted the guests of the hour in carriages to the school, where the young ladies, under the direction of Mrs. Griffin, had prepared a royal feast. 1,500 people, one-third of whom were white, listened with consuming interest to Dr. Washington's address at the Rink Auditorium and remained throughout, although the night was uncomfortably cool. Mayor F. N. Tate extended a hearty welcome and declared that both whites and blacks in his bailiwick would long remember and cherish the lessons which the distinguished visitor would leave with them. Excellent music was furnished by a choir of 150 voices from the school, and the colored portion of the audience joined earnestly with Major Moton in singing plantation melodies. After the speaking the party returned to the High Point Institute, there a one banquet was held, with Prof. Cartwright as toastmaster. Dr. Washington, Major Moton, Prof. W. T. B. Williams, Dr. J. A. Kenney, John Merrick, C. C. Spaulding, Em- mett J. Scott, W. Sidney Pittman, Horace D. Slatter, R. W. Thompson and Dr. Garren responded to fitting toasts. At Winston-Salem. At Winston-Salem, one of the most enterprising cities in the State, the Washington party had a rousing time. Twenty-five sat down to a sumptuous breakfast at the elegant home of Dr. J. W. Jones, who has one of the finest residences owned by a colored man in the South. The Slater Normal and Industrial Institute was visited at noon, and Dr. Washington addressed the students. Prof. F. M. Kennedy is president of this institution now and there are nearly four hundred pupils. 2,500 people crowded into the opera house at 2:30 o'clock, to hear the "Wizard's" address one third of them being white, embracing the owners of mills, factories and business enterprises that give employment to hundreds of colored men at lucrative wages. Dr. Rondthaler, president of the famous Salem College, was an interested visitor. The welcome extended by Mayor O. E. Eaton was among the very best of the series, and the locals and their guests were "de-lighted." The local committee was exceptionally hospitable and courteous. It was headed by Dr. S. G. Atkins, secretary of Education of the A. M. E. Zion church, and Mr. John A. Blume, a well-known business man. REFORMERS BANK CLOSED. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 through ignorance and gross mismanagement, or as the order of the Insurance Bureau intimates, "If not criminal negligence," succeeded in so disposing of the assets as to make it doubtful if the order can again resume business. It may be wiped from the face of the earth, taking with it the hopes and labor and dollars of 60,000 members, representing in a large degree the sober, industrious, thrifty element of the colored race in America. Condition is Bad. Nothing can more forcibly depict the financial condition of the now lefunct bank than a brief statement According to its own published statement to the State Corporation Commission, as of date September 1, last, it had total deposits of $290,468.34, including time certificates, deposits subject to check and cashier's checks outstanding. Yet the Grand Fountain of True Reformers alone has on deposit at this bank approximately $274,000, and in addition the bank owes the order $61,100 of borrowed money, making a total which is due the order by the bank of about $335,100. The alleged bookkeeping methods of the bank beggar description. Mortgage loans are twisted in every conceivable way, showing as assets when they are really in possession of outside banks as collateral, securities for loans which the bank has contracted. Money has been poured for a long time into an allied concern known as the Reformers' Mercantile and Industrial Association, which runs a chain of stores and a printing office. Cant Pay Claims. As to the insurance order itself, it has been found in the examination just made by the Bureau of Insurance that the bank is holding $57,000 worth of checks drawn by the order to pay insurance claims, which the bank has been unable to honor. In addition so far as can be learned the True Reformers owe other unpaid claims to the amount of $120,000. The figures given above indicate clearly that it could pay these without the slightest trouble if it could use the money which belongs to it in the bank. But when the bank's affairs are wound up by the receiver the salvage may or may not be sufficient to pay off the insurance order's debt. If it is, the order may yet get on its feet by pocketing its losses, which are certain to be heavy, by proceeding to do business on its current income, and by forever eschewing all combinations of any sort with any other kind of business enterprise whatever. ...The application for a receiver for the Savings Bank of True Reformers was made by the order. As it is all in the family, with the same officers and the same interests, there was no resistance. Judge Daniel Grinnan at once appointed William A. Moncure, of the law firm of Smith, Moncure and Gordon, counsel for the order, as receiver. He gave bond at once in the sum of $50,000 with the Virginia Trust Company as surety and began an inventory of the property of the institution. Was Popular Order. Was Popular Order. For nearly thirty years the True Reformers has held a leading place in the admiration and affection of the colored people of this part of the country.

Taylor was ousted from the presidency and A. W. Holmes was elected in his place. It was hoped at that time that the order would be placed on a sounder basis, but the real condition of affairs in the bank was not then known and has apparently precluded such a hap py issue out of all its troubles. The order's success was phenomenal from the start. Thousands of members flocked to its standard, and there are now nearly 2,500 subordinate lodges scattered over the Southern and Middle States and in the Middle West. In 1888 the Savings Bank was chartered. Stock was subscribed to by individual members of the order. The charter of the bank provides that its board of directors shall be the board of directors of the True Reformers. Stock was sold on the condition that at the death of the stockholders no provision was made for its re-issuance. H. & TAL CLEANERS, PRESSERS AND Phone 1880X. Checks Held Up. For some time complaints have been coming to the Bureau of Insurance as to the non-payment of Insurance claims by the True Reformers. As long as a year ago officials of the department warned the officers of the allied institutions that unless they dropped the bank it would sooner or later involve the entire enterprise in disaster. But nothing was done. However, last spring, prompted by many complaints the department held an examination and found that the bank was holding up checks for more than $50,000, drawn by the treasurer of the order and accepted by the same man as cashier of the bank, but placed in a drawer. The checks had been charged off on the books of the order, but the bank could not pay the money. Acting on demands made by the insurance people, a piece of property was sold, and these claims liquidated. But apparently no lesson was learned from this experience, for the same condition is now found to exist.

The order would show that it had a certain amount to its credit with the bank, but the actuaries of the department were unable to discover, whether or not the bank could put up the amount if required. When the State Bank Examining Department was organized during the past summer, under the new law, the Insurance Bureau requested that an examination be made of the True Reformers' Bank, which the new department, with many calls on its time was unable to do at first. At last, however, the examination was begun on Tuesday of last week, and it was made a joint one, Actuary Isaac Davenport being sent to look into the books of the order, while Examiner C. C. Barksdale was having a glance at the bank. By the next day the condition of affairs had become so evident to the examiners that the Bureau of Insurance ordered the officials of the True Reformers not to put any more money belonging to the order on deposit with the bank. Since that day all moneys belonging to the order have been placed in another bank. As the examination progressed it was found that while the books are not in such condition as to permit an accurate statement to be made, the amount due the order is approximately $335,100, of which $274,000 is in deposits and $61,100 in money borrowed by the bank from the order.

Nay, nay Pauline. here's nothing doing what you're thinking about. Mr, MacCorkle and his party are simply baiting their hooks with rosy- hued promises with the hope of catching suckers: they are merely wolves in sheep's clothing who find it necessary to adopi some disguise to lull the suspicions aroused, two years ago, by their ill-advised at- tempt to break into the fold, ‘The sensible Negro has the highest regard for the veracity of Mr, Mac- Corkle and of that of his associates. He does not believe that he nor they would wilfully and maliciously mis- represent their attitude as to the franchise rights of the race, but they fear the Greeks, even bearing gifts. Years of experience have taught him that he must look with suspicion up- on all advances of friendship made by Democrats during political cam- paigns. He knows that political promises are not to be depended upon, especially when they are made by that party which is responsible for all the disfranchising and jim- crowing of his brethren in the South- land. Mr. MacCorkie. is wndoubtedty in earnest when he says he is opposed to the enactment of any law which will, in its enforcement, debar any man from tie polls on account of his race, color or previous condition of servitude. We grant that he i: opposed to any such legislation, but we can not forget that he was op posed to the placing of the anii- Ne gro plank in his party's — plattorn here two years vgo, but what did hi » opposition amount to? tt was a the gentle zepher to the wild roar ings of the mountain storm.

The rapids are below yow A CAMPAIGN CANARD. The black and tan Democrats, in their futlle efforts to throw dust inte the eyes of the voters of their race have resorted to efforts which alone stamp them a8 unfit to be classed Among upright men. They are res- sponsible for the report that Grant Hall refused to gel Negroes lots in his St. Albans addition. ‘The writer is in position to brand this as a lie, because he holds a deed in that very tract for a lot bought by him in the land sale conducted by Grant Hall, Not only he, but Miss Fannie C. Cobb, of the West Virginia Colored Institute, S$. M. | Davis, employed in the State Library C,H. James, the well-known pro- duce commission merchant, J. M. Hazlewood, whose reputation is national, and many others were among the Negro purchasers in the Grant Hall addition, | There is documentary evidence to prove this statement, and the Ne- Kroes who are the authors of the report to the contray know it. But they must make a pretense at earn- ing the money which is veing paid them, so why express surprise that they hit upon this falsehood rather than any other? As has been said! before in these columns, the erema- tory, where the black and tan Ne- sro Democracy has its headquarters. does net offer surroundings such as are conducive to either high ideals or aesthetic tastes; nor is a man, Whose highest ambition is to be al- lowed to run a saloon, to be belleved | when he is furthering his own, ents, The Advocate hag never stooped to distort the truth for any. man or any eause. It believes that the Ne- sro people of this city, of this coun- ty and of this state can best protect and advance their interests by: sup- porting the Republican party and all its candidates. It believes the Ne- sro peope of West Virginia can ill afford to cast their lots with that party or those men whose ultimate: intention—masked now in Kanawha county—is to get into power by fatr means or foul and then to perpetu- Ate the power by eliminating the xe sro vote. FREEDMAN'S SAVINGS AND TRUST COMPANY, The colored people of the United States are deeply interested in the ‘passage of the bill to relmbargé the Cepositors of the Freedman's sav- ings and Trust Company by an ap- propriation by Congress. It calls for over one million and a quarter of dollars. President Taft recom- mended the measure in his first an- nual message, after having it inves- tigated by the Department of Jus- tea | The Honorable J. W. Lyons. of Augusta, Georgia, who argued the measure before the proper commit- tees of Congress last winter and has ctherwise been very active in advo- cating it, wrote President Taft a let- ter in reference to this subject, and his reply thereto will carry joy. to the heart of every colored man in America. Here it is Beverly, Mass., Oct. 14, 1910. Colonel Lyons T have yours of Oct, 11th in ref- erence to the bill 10 reimburse out of the Treasury of the United States those who lost their money in the Fieedman’s Savings and ‘Trust Com- pany. I have no hestitation in. say- ing that I favor the bill, that 1 shal do everything I can to bring about its passage at the next~session- of Congress as I did in the last, Respectfully, Wm, I. Tatt. Hon, Judson W. Lyons. 118 Jackson St AMHR Os AN EXIIBITION OF NERVE. The iriends of the Demoeratic can- Cidate for State Senate in this dis- Wiel are working over time the fact that while he was Governor the West Virginia Colored Institute was estab. ebed, The facts in the matter reflect e- ther uyon their knowledge or hones: ty in placing him on 9 pedestal as an iol for Negro worsitp. ‘True. the pe Vireinia Colored Institute was established during 4 Democratic ad. ministration, and it is also true that én vet of a Reratiican Congress, known as the Morrill Act, was re- kponsible for its founding.

THE ONLY WAY BY WHICH WEST VIR: GINA COULD GET THAT NUCH. NBEDED $25,000 WAS BY GIVING A PORTION OF IT TO STORER COLLEGE, THE ONLY INSTITU~ TION IN THE STATE AT THAT TIME FOR THE HIGHBR EDUCA: TION .OF HE NEGRO, OR BY FOUNDING A NEW INSTITUTION. The latter was thought to be the bet- ter, Thus it was that the West Vir- sinia Colored Institute came to be established. Before the National government made the tender of an appropriation, West Virginia appropriated annu- ally for about 10 years the pitiful sum of $1,000 for the higher educa- tion of the Negro in the normal stud- les. The school soon outgrew its two eight-room dormitories and the necessity arose to provide more am-} ble accommodations. This was done] by the erection of a building for girs || during the administration of Gov-|: ernor MacCorkle. For one building |} he Nero must kotow, throw dust on | his bended head, arise and vote for] MacCortle for the many blessings he} 1as conferred. ’ What nerve some people do have. THE WOMAN'S PART ‘The wo.nen of the race can, if they will, exert a great influence in de- termining the outcome of the battle of ballots to be fought Tuesday of next week, In the result of next Tuesday's election they should be as much, if not more, interested than their men folks, for upon them and upon their sex will fall most heavily the humiliation for the Negro which will follow a Democratic victory. They can urge her husband, father, brother or male friends to save them from the degredatian of the.separate railwey coach, ‘They can appeal to men to protect their own political status by the proper exercise of their ADVVOCATE—21 franchise rights at this crisis, They can use those methods which have been productive of the largest suc- cess in the past, use them now in a cause which should be dear to every man, woman and child of that race Which already has too few of the blessings of this world. Whatever argument is used, even if it is the broom-handle, let there be no pause till the end sought is attained. THE MINISTER'S DUTY. The minister of the gospel is one of thegreat leaders of the people. It is his duty to give them sound advice and direct them in the right way in this world as well as to point out the way to the life everlasting. In the present campaign it is the duty of every Negro preacher who has the true interests of his race at ‘eart to explain to his people the is- sues as they affect the Negro. He van show that the Democratic party as always been the bitter foe of the race, and has Invariably opposed ev- ery ineasure proposed by the Repub- Nean party lo better the race’s condi- tion. At the close of every sermon it would be Well to have a short heart- to-heart talk with the congregation. At the close of every meeting during the week say a word for the party and keep up the enthusiasm. It is vot likely that any considerable num- ber of Negroes will stray away from ‘*e fold and vote for the Democrats, but as all our people are not sensible tet the preacher stand upon the watch tower and warn them of the dan- eer Every minister of intelligence is well informed regarding the present nolitieal situation and should lead Nik people arteht. le For Sale Houses and Lots ore Shade Trees on residence lots.
