THE AFRICAN MERICAN LEDGER. VOL. XIX NO.14 THE GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS ADDRESSES BAPTIST CONVENTION AND RECEIVES A GREAT OVATION FROM THE 3000 OR MORE BAPTISTS IN CONVENTION. The Governor Tells Them That He Did Not Come Asking For Political Favors—He Advises Them To Keep Out Of Politics And Better The Condition Of Their People—The Possibility To Do Anything Depends Upon Opportunity—Accidents Do Not Help In This World, Mature Thought And Good Judgment Are Essential. (Special to the Arro-American Ledger.) Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 26.—Led by by Prof. Joseph A. Booker, the president of the Arkansas Baptist college, 3000 members of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, sang: "Steal Away to Jesus," as Governor George W. Donaghey, entered the First Baptist church where the convention was in session, and where he had been invited to make an address. The convention was very anxious to see the Governor of Arkansas, and in a way show their appreciation for his fair dealing with the race. After the song, Dr. E. O. Morris, president of the convention introduced the speaker. He said: "I have the honor as well as the pleasure of introducing to you the greatest governor of the greatest State in the Union. It affords me the greatest pleasure to have the highest official of our commonwealth come before the representatives of 8000 church members and the representatives of one-fourth of the population of Arkansas. Our good governor knows that the people whom he addresses are owners of 9000 farms and pay over $10,000 annually to support the local and statego-erments." An ovation greeted the governor which lasted for fully five minutes. The governor said: "Mr. Chairman, members of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, my colored friends and visitors. It is not for any political purpose I come to talk to you. It is not for the purpose of getting your votes, this you know as well as I do, because your people do not vote much. This perhaps is best for you. The greatest man in your race has said that you should keep out of politics, and in this I agree with him. I think it best that you stay out of politics and look after the condition of your people, and in this you have as much as you can do." "The possibility to do anything depends upon the opportunity. Now some of you may say that you have not had the opportunity, but you have. It makes no difference who you are, you have an opportunity to do. There are three things that will not come back to us, past lives, spoken words and opportunities lost. "You should take advantage of your financial opportunities. The achievement of success in this world is not by accident, but by labor. It is not an accident that helps one in this world, it is mature thought and good judgment. "You must first settle on what you are going to do and then apply yourself to it. There is a peculiar thing about your people, when they get hold of land they hold on to it. A piece or land in Arkansas is like a mule, no matter what you pay for it you make money on it. Buy land, pay for it and if you do this I need not tell you to keep it, for you are going to do that. Get the land, cultivate it, and keep out of politics, and you will build up your race." Rev. Dr. J. P. Robinson, moved a vote of thanks for the governor, and Dr. Morris, in putting the motion said that while the Negro did not vote, he would pray that the governor would take his place by the side of the of the senator of Arkansas in the United States. There was a large amount of business transacted at the convention and Rev. Sutton Griggs, of Nashville, dslivered an address. REV. E. C.

SPECULATION RIFE AS TO HOW PRESIDENT TAFT WILL DEAL WITH Some Think That A Complete Change Will Be Made By The President In Dealing With Racial Matters—Prominent Colored Citizens Should Hold A Conference, Is the Opinion—Announcement of Lewis Appointment Soon—J. C. Asbury Urged For Fat "Plum" Bureau of The Afro-American Ledger 1918 11th St., N. W. Washington, Dec. 1-With the return of President Taft from his visit to Panama, the political sages are beginning to speculate as to the future program which the administration forces will follow. This speculation has been greatly indulged in by racial leaders, especially those who have been closely following Mr. Taft's program with regard to the appointment of colored men to office in the South. There are some who are optimistic enough to think that there will be a complete change of the program in regard to racial matters and that the President will not only continue recently inaugurated plan of consulting frequently with men of prominence in various communities, but will seek their counsel as to appointments of colored men to office. There are some who think that the President should consult colored men who are known to be in sympathy with the present administration, and some of the leaders he goes so far as to suggest that those who are friendly to Mr. Taft, and especially those holding big jobs, should hold a conference. While it is not known whether or not the president will specifically mention the colored people in his message to Congress next week, the belief is prevaent that the President should do something to restore confidence among the reca citant hosts of Republicans the country over. Lewis Appointment Expected. One of the first things that President Taft is expected to do next week will be the sending the name of William H.

This property was left to the grandfather of Mrs. Waller and Mrs. Giles, and he sold some of it to a railroad. Being very old, some one put it into his head that he had disposed of the entire tract. The Pennsylvania Railroad wanted to run a tunnel through the estate a few years ago, and condoned the right of way. Not being able to locate the legal heirs to the property, $500,000 was deposited in banks, with witch to pay the legal heirs whenever they might be found. Some white people, who claimed to be uncles of the two ladies laid claim to the property, but the courts ruled them out on the ground that they were not direct lineal descendants.

Mrs. Waller has just returned from New York, where she spent a week in looking after her interests. Dr. Owen W. Waller, of Brooklyn, her husband's brother, is looking after her claim, and it is believed that she questioned of ownership for the property will be definitely cleared up within the next few months. When she was seen by a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, the prospective millionaire modestly admitted that she had been to New York, and she hoped to establish the claim of herself and sister to the valuable property. She also said that she had gotten an inkling of the fact some 18 years ago that the title of the property vested in her and her sister and that she had waited for the day to come when it would be necessary for her to establish her claim. Mrs. Waller is prominent in local religious and charitable work. Sae is the wife of Mr. A. T. Waller, a salesman for Castleburg Bros., jewelers, and resides at 1402 Druid Hill avenue.

A TOWN OWNED AND OPERATED BY OUR PEOPLE MOUND BAYOU, MISS., IS A TOWN WHERE THE COL- ORED MAN IS THE SUPREME BOSS. The Grand Session Of Knights Of Tabor Is He'd And Much Important Business Is Transacted—Rev. A. A. Cosey Is Elected Grand Mentor—The Stringer Grand Lodge Is The Next Large Meeting To Be Held Grand Master Lampton Will Be Greatly Missed. Mound Bayou, Miss.—As I sit down to write to you today I feel as free as a Junebug, because I am in a town owned and operated by my people, and I am free to walk the streets and if I feel like going out on the street and shouting there is no one of another race to tell me to stop, before I get through. You see this is our town and we understand what it means for the spirit to get in one. Well you see I h.we been doing some riding since I wrote to you last week from Mississippi, and now I have in mind a few things that, must be done this month, and am going to do them as far as possible. You will remember for weeks ago I told you that the people were getting ready for the meetings to be held here this fall. Well the grand session of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor has been held here and there were many important events connected with the meeting. I was there. Reaching Vicksburg I had already been invited to stop with Rev. E. P. Jones, so I went right on to his house, and received a corral welcome by his wife and sons. Stopping with Dr. Jones was Prof. M. S. Stewart, Grand Master W. A. J. Morgan, Dr. E. B. Topp and Hon. Charles Banks. We all had a fine time Now as to the meeting Rev. A. A. Cosey, who was elected Chief Grand mentor one year ago has demonstrated the fact that he is a leader of men, and he knows how to preside. I was fortunate in getting on the inside and enjoyed myself very much. I shall not be able to tell you the signs and passwords because I have forgotten them myself. I think I used as the password to get inside of the house "Inubunus" or something like that. There was not a church or meeting place in Vicksburg large enough to hold a delegation. So they had to look in a church and get along as best they could. I must not many new faces and many new pain. The election was an easy thing. All were slected by acclamation. Dr. Cosey is master of the situation. I heard many addresses and they all seemed to be in good shape and inspiring to the people. I am glad that I was there. Mrs. Jda H. Cosey stood side by side with her husband in the Now that the Tabors have held their meeting, the next in line is the Stringer, Grand Lodge of Masons and it will be held next week in Holly Springs. You see I have been trying to get them to make me a Mason for a long time, and since they will not do the right thing, I hang around on the outside and get all the information I can. I am glad to say that I have been successful. If will be a sad Grand Lodge. Bishop W. L. Lampton, who was the Grand Master, has been a great friend. He has laid his designs on the board, and then packed up his tools to take them up no more. He was a great man and accomplished a great work for his people. His life was short, but his wok stands for itself. There is much comment on as to who shall be his successor. There is but one man, and there should be no question about it. W. A. J. Morgan, was the deputy grand master, and when Grand master Lampton took the foot, the deputy filled the option for such a short time, there should be no question about electing him. He is a good man, and a man worthy of the place. I am of the opinion that he will be elected, and if he is not then there is not the slightest fair play in it. But SHIES AT THEIR ALLURING BAIT Brandies Offers to He'p Railroads Save Millions. Was Told He Might Name His Own Salary If He Could Show. How a 7ast Amount Could Be Saved By His Scientific Management—Says He Will Gladly Render the Service For Nothing. Washington, D. C. (Special)—In reply to the offer of several Western railroads to employ him at his own salary if he could show them, as he claimed he could, how American railroads could save $1,000,000 a day, Louis D. Brandsel, of Boston, telegraphed that without any charge to them he would be glad to meet and point out to a conference or conferences of Eastern and Western railroad presidents, how such saving could be effected. Mr. Brandeis is here representing certain shipping organizations in the freight rate increase hearing being conducted before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. Brandeis' letter addressed to O. I. Dickerson, of Chicago, care of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, is as follows: Dear Sir, Your telegram of the $33d, sent on behalf of the Western railroad presidents to me, care of Interstate Commerce Commission, was not delivered until this morning, owing to my absence in Boston. You refer to the estimate quoted by me that $1,000,000 a day could be saved in operating American railroads by the introduction of scientific management and say that if I can point out a practical way by which a substantial portion of this amount can be saved, several Western railroads would be pleased to tender me employment, allowing me to name my own salary. I am convinced that such saving is possible through the introduction of scientific management, and shall be glad, as a public service, to arrange for conferences with these Western presidents at an early date, and point out how scientific management will accomplish these results. I suggest that the Eastern presidents be also invited to attend the conferences. I must decline to accept any salary or other compensation from the railroad for the same reason that I have declined compensation from the shipping organizations whom I represent, namely that the burden of increased rates, while primarily affecting the Eastern manufacturers and merchants, will ultimately be borne in large part by the consumer through increasing the cost of living, mainly of those least able to bear added burdens. I desire that any aid I can reader in preventing such added burdens shall be unpaid service. Kindly suggest date and place for conferences. (Signed) LOUIS D. BRANDEIS. BURGLAR KILLED IN DUEL. Officer's Alm Good, Though He Was Wounded. Philadelphia (Special).—During a pistol duel at Forty-second and Pine streets, Policeman Bornett was shot in the spine and is dying in the University Hospital, and an unknown man, supposed to be a burglar, was shot and killed. Bornett, who was in civilian dress, had been sent to watch the locality, as a number of burglaries had recently been committed there. At Fortieth and Pine streets he saw two men who aroused his suspicions and followed them. They separated at Forty-second street and he followed one, who had entered an alley. When he began to question the man the latter drew a revolver and shot him through the body. As the politeman fell he drew his own pistol and fired two shots at his fleeing assailant. The latter dropped dead with bullets in his hip and addomen. The dead man was about 26 years old, 5 feet 8 inches (all) and weighed about 140 pounds. The tags had been carefully removed from his tail-for-made garments, but his raincoat was of a Philadelphia make and the shoes had been made in Boston. He had $182 in his pockets. The policeman was removed to the hospital in an automobile which had been attracted to the scene by the shots. The body of the dead man was taken to the morgue. Daylight Lynching In Florida.

(Special).—Twenty-five girls were burned alive or crushed to death on the pavement in leaping from windows and fire-escapes within 10 minutes Saturday morning. The tragedy occurred at a fire in the factory building at Orange and High streets. Fifty persons were taken to hospitals, of whom two may die. Among the injured is Joseph E. Sloane, deputy fire chief, who was overtaken by the falling wall and buried in bricks and rubbish. He is badly hurt, but may recover. The rush of the flames was so incredibly swift and threw such unreasoning terror into the haddled working girls on the top floor that the body of one was found still seated on a charred stool beside the machine at which she had been busy when the first cry of "fire" petrified her with fright. Horrible as must have been the tragedy in the smoke of that crowded upper room, what befell outside in the bright sunlight was more horrible still. The building was furiously inflammable, and the first rush of flames had cut off all possibility of escape by the stairways. The elevators made one trip, but took down no passengers and never came back. The only exit was by two narrow fire-escapes, the lower platforms of which were 25 feet from the street. On these overcrowded and steep exits, made hot by the flames from the lower windows, pressed forward a mob of women, blind with panic, driven by the fire, and the others behind them. Out Of Windows To Death. A net had been spread beneath the windows, and the girls began to jump. "Like rats out of a burning bin" was the way a fireman described that pellmil descent. They bolted out of the windows, rolled up on the heads of those below them and cascaded off the fire-escape to the pavement 60 feet below. Some of them stood in the windows outlined against the frames and jumped clear; others from the landings; still others from the steps where they stood. The air was full of them and they fell everywhere—into the net, on the necks of firemen, and 15 of them on the hard stone slabs. When the jumping ceased there were eight dead in the street and the gutters ran red with blood. Eleven more were so badly crushed that they died in hospitals. The building was a four-story brick structure occupied on the two lower floors by the Newark Paper Box Company and the A. A. Drake Paper Box Company; on the third floor, where the fire started, by the Anchor Lamp Company and the Aetna Electric Company, and on the top floor, where the death list ran heaviest, by the Wolf Manufacturing Company, makers of underwear. Sadle Benson, an employee of the Aetna Electric Company, was cleaning an electric light fixture in a gasoline bath. The gasoline took fire—she does not know how—and trickled in a little rivulet of flame on the floor, where stood a full can of gasoline. The can exploded and the burning liquid flew far and wide. BITTEN BY A FISH. Vessel Carries All Sail To Port To Save Man's Life. Boston (Special).—Favored by a gale of wind, Captain Nelson, of the fishing schooner Reliance, was able to land Thams Key, a member of his crew here, before the sailor bled to death from a wound made by the bite of a fish. While the Reliance was on the George Banks, an angelfish, a species of shark, which had been caught in a trawl, bit Key's right hand, the sharp teeth almost severing it at the wrist. Captain Nelson set sail for Boston, and when a physician went aboard at "T" wharf, Key was in a state of collapse, due to loss of blood. The fisherman will recover. York, Pa.

Church, corner Lexington and Carton streets, are rejoicing over their success in redeeming one of the mortgages which hung over the church for eight years.

M THE CHURCH OF THE NATIONAL SCHOOL OF JESUS CHRIST The Literary Tramp Rider Haggard was traveling across the United States as the guest of John Hays Hammond in Hammond's private car. "What I want to see," said Haggard, "is the real tramp. I haven't seen one since I reached this country. I can't believe you have as many as has been stated to be the case." Harris Hammond, the eldest son of John Hays, promised: "I'll show you one at the next stop." He had seen one riding on the trucks under the car, and at the next station he went down and called the hobo out. When the tramp entered the car he was covered with cinders and dust and looked like something from the lower regions. Hammond shook hands with him and introduced him, saying: "This is Mr. Rider Haggard." "Rider Haggard!" exclaimed the hobo. "Why I've read all of your books, and loved every one of them." Then he set down and discussed literature with Haggard for half an hour. Too Much to Forgive. A woman may be a thorough Christian in most things, but she never really forgives the kindness of the man who brings her husband home about 3 a.m. with his feet sticking out of the window of a cab.

Martin has secured for his people ten-room house next to the church, at a sum of $2,000, subject to ground rent with privilege of purchasing same.

There is still an indebtedness of $6,000 covering the first mortgage, and the pastor and people are planning to cut that down. Allen Church has a splendid set of young people who contributed much toward putting the church in such a good condition. The Sunday School, under the superintendency of Mr. H. D. Brent, and the League, presided over by Mr. Wm. Butler, with a good corp of teachers, competent officers and loyal member, Allen is trying to do her part of the evangelistic work in this community, the West End of Baltimore City. The people are preparing for a mortgage, jubilee, at which time they will burn the mortgage and give souvenirs to all who attend the meeting. The pastor is preaching a series of illustrated sermons on Pilgrim's progress, which is attracting large crowds. The public seems to be in sympathy with the work. This is Rev. Martin's fourth year, and during this time many members have been added to the church, and the community in general has been benefited by his pastorate. E. CHURCH. At the end of the talk Harris took him back, let him get some of the dust and clinders off and handed him a good cigar. "That fellow's not a tramp," said Haggard. "He's a gentleman in distress." "Popular Magazine." The clarinet, or claronet, is supposed to have been invented in 1690 by Joseph Christopher Denner, at Nuremberg, though some authorities traco its existence to medieval times. Since its invention it has undergone many changes and improvements, and the modern clarinet, from the extent, quality and variety of its tone, is one of the most perfect of wind instruments. One of the hardest things to understand is why the world keeps right on in the old way when a man who thinks he is indispensable resigns. We met the Early Bird and were amazed on glancing at our watches to discover that the hour of seven had long since struck. "You're not so early, after all!" we remarked, signifi-cantly. "No," assented the Early Bird, looking very conscious all at once. "The fact is, I got the book worm."—Puck. A Valuable Holding.

No pension of more than $1,200 will be allowed and more of less than $12 a month. Between these extremes 1 per cent. of the regular monthly pay received during the last 10 years of service will be allowed for each year of total service. For instance: An employee who has been 25 years in the service and for the last 10 years has received a regular monthly wage of $60 a month will receive a pension allowance of $15 a month. The United States Steel Corporation has a pension fund of $8,000,000, and the Carnegie fund, established in 1901 by Andrew Carnegie, amounts to $4,000,000, so that the joint principal available will be $12,000,000. This fund is entirely separate from the voluntary accident relief-plan, put into effect on May 1, 1910, which provides for injured employees and the families of those killed in the service of the corporation. KILLED HIS BROTHER. Was Trying To Protect Him Against a Moose. Montreal, Que. (Special).—In a desperate effort to protect his brother, Fred. Drexel Rodgers, of Philadelphia, from the charge of a wounded bull moose, W. T. Rodgers fired several shots from his rifle, one of which killed the young man. Mr. Rodgers, grief-striken over the accident, passed through here en route to Philadelphia. The fatal shooting occurred on the shore of Coulonge Lake. The body was brought down to Ottawa by Mr. Rodgers and sent to Philadelphia. Fred. Drexel Rodgers was 28 years old. JAIL FOR BIG DEFAULTER. Man Who Took Million and Half Gets Moderate Sentence. Louisville, Ky. (Special)—August Ropke entered a plea of guilty to five counts of the indictment charging him with embezzlement of the funds of the Fidelity Trust Company.

Ropke was given a sentence of from ten to eighteen years in the Penitentiary, this penalty covering all his offenses. Ropke was secretary of the company's banking department. RACING MEN SPENT $264,000. To Defcat the Antibetting Legislation At Albany. New York (Special).—Eight racing associations seeking to defeat the anti-betting bills at Albany contribute $264,000 to the Jockey Club for legal expenses, according to M. Linn Bruce, counsel of the legislative investigating committee. During the session of the committee Wednesday Mr. Bruce ran over the various contributions which have been admitted in testimony and used them as a basis for his statement. IS 91. WANTS TO FLY. Woman Tells Wish Of Last Years On Birthday. Spencer, Mass. (Special).—Mra, Lucy Belknap Baldwin, who was 91 years old Wednesday, says she is confident she will go up in a balloon before she dies. It is her one ambition now, she told her friends at her birthday reception. She has seen the coming of the automotive, the steamboat and the automobile, and before she dies she wants to ride in an air vehicle. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "Business moves along lines of safety, the absence of speculation making the situation appear duller than it actually is. The volume of transactions, although by no means as large as it might be if expanded to full speed limits, is nevertheless sufficiently large to keep the great body of workmen occupied, so that the average of prosperity is fair. "Buying of equipment by the railroads develops slowly, yet considerable new business is in sight and a generally more hopeful feeling prevails in iron and steel." "Demand for holiday goods is becoming more prominent, and developments in this respect are responsible for whatever expansion has occurred in trade this week. Novelties, jewelry and such articles as are appropriate to the season are in good request and the consensus of reports indicates that trade is in excess of last year. "Business failures in the United States for the week ended November 24 were 212, against 248 last week, 217 in the like week of 1909, 193 in 1908, 298 in 1907 and 174 in 1906."

Tyler Sign of Its Approach. LULL IN "BLACK CABINET." Aftermath of the Recent Election Makes Things Rather Quiet In Official Circles—Henry Lincoln Johnson to the Fore—Miss Price Makes Record in Census Office. By OLIVER RANDOLPH. Among the official set in Washington there is not as much activity as there was prior to the elections. At that time the Republican congressional committee availed itself of the services of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, record of deeds for the District of Columbia, and arranged for him a PETER H. BURKE whirlwind campaign trip which covered several states and which lasted up to the very eve of the election. Mr. Johnson's trip was productive of good results, for it is a matter of fact that the Republican congressional candidates in the New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia districts in which he spoke were successful at the polls. Part of Mr. Johnson's trip was made in a big, white touring car, thereby making the trip modern and picturesque as well as effective. The other members of the so called "black cabinet" were not, to any extent, engaged in the public speaking part of the campaign. Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon spoke only in New York state, while Auditor for the Navy Ralph W. Tyler was engaged in an advisory capacity in directing the colored end of the campaign in Ohio. Judge Robert H. Terrell of the municipal court now has a young colored man as his clerk. The fortunate young man is George H. De Reef, a young lawyer, who has all along been "acting" clerk in Judge Terrell's court. Mr. De Reef is a graduate of both the college and law departments of Howard university. The deputy United States marshal in Judge Terrell's court is also a member of our race. He is W. H. Conn, who fills that position with much credit. Editor Shaughter in Charge. Henry P. Shaughter of the government printing office has resigned his lucrative position with Uncle Sam and has assumed his duties as editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal at Philadelphia. Mr. Shaughter is an experienced newspaper man as well as a practical printer. Before going to Washington he was in newspaper work in Kentucky, his A. native state. He kept up his newspaper work while in Washington, being a member of the staff of the Record, a daily colored newspaper published in the nineties. At the last session of the biennial movable committee of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows held in Baltimore Mr. Slaughter was elected editor of the Old Fellows' Journal by a most flattering vote. He has already taken charge of the editorial chair of that powerful and influential newspaper, and his friends predict for him much success. Public School Athletics. The board of education of the District of Columbia designated Edwin B. Henderson to organize an athletic league in the colored schools. In pursuance of that authority Mr. Henderson recently called a meeting and organized the league. Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce acted as temporary chairman, and the following officers were elected: President, James E. Walker, supervising principal of the Thirteenth division; vice president, G. C. Wilkinson; secretary, E. B. Henderson; treasurer, Miss A. E. Thompson, principal of the Slater school. The president appointed the following committees: Publicity and printing, J. Moria Saunders, chairman; J. O. Montgomery, B. O. Rodson, E. H. Lawson, M. A. Sherer; finance committee, G. S. Wormley, chairman; W. A. Hamilton, Eugene Clark, W. B. Hartgrove, R. B. Green. Mr. Henderson had the following to say concerning the league and its objects: The purpose of the league is to encourage manly participation in athletic sports by the boys of the public schools, especially the elementary schools. Such a league as has been formed will work wonders in the formation of good habits of loyalty and discipline among the boys. The various "stunts" which the boys will be called upon to perform will appeal to all of them, not merely to the record breaker. As it now stands, there are but few athletics, especially within a school, in which all the boys can take part. The only physical training which the boys are now afforded is that which they go through with the girls of the classroom. The league will also seek to take hold of the overgrown boys in the graded schools who are anxious to withdraw because they are overgrown and provide them with an incentive for further development, mentally and physically. The athletics will appeal to the boys not from the standpoint of breaking a record made by the exceptional boy, but equaling or surpassing the record (if such it may be called) made by the average boy. Such means will prevent the boys from becoming discouraged. The league, however, does not propose to discriminate against the girls. They will be permitted, under certain restrictions, to engage in games under the supervision of a female member of the physical training department. Edwin B. Henderson, the originator of the movement, is one of the best known colored athletes among athletic promoters in the country. He is now athletic director for the colored high schools. Last year he got out a "Spalding's" manual on athletic contests in the colored schools and colleges of the south Atlantic states. Mr. [Name] R. B. HENDERSON. Henderson has spent much time at Harvard university in the study of physical culture. The highest average that has been made on the punching machine in the consus office was recently made by Miss Eva B. Price of Atlanta, Ga. The work on these machines is done on the piece basis, and during this period Miss Price earned $88. The highest sum paid any clerk on this work during any two weeks was $83. There are about 500 clerks working on the punching machines, and it is considered very high for a clerk to punch as many as 3,000 cards in one day. Miss Price's highest mark for one day was 4,200 cards. She accomplished this unusual average during the regular seven hour day and has never worked extra time. Mrs. Ralph W. Tylter, the wife of the auditor for the navy, entertained a party of ladies at her home in T street northwest at an informal lunch recently in honor of Mrs. Hattie King of, Columbus, O. The color scheme was in pink, the tables being decorated with large pink chrysanthemums. Those present besides Mrs. King, the guest of honor, were Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the wife of Judge Robert H. Terrell; Mrs. Josephine Bruce, widow of Senator B. K Bruce; Mrs. John R. Francis, the wife of Dr. John R. Francis; Mrs. Anna Murray, the wife of Hon. Daniel Murray of the Congressional, Library, Mrs. W. O. West, the wife of Dr. W. O. West; Mrs. Amphias E. Glenn, the wife of Professor Glenn, the director of languages, in the high schools; Mrs. J. E. Williams, the wife of Principal Williams of the M street high school, and Misses Mary Tyson, Jessie Parks and Gilth Fleetwood. A reception was held after the lunchcon. Assisting Mrs. Tyler in the receiving line were Mrs. Mary Church Terrell and Mrs. Amphils Glenn. The buffet lunchcon was served by Demonet, one of Washington's best caterers.

BALTIMORE, DEC. 3, 1910 This supremacy business seems to be having a hard time of it. We hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving turkey. Now for the Christmas dinner. All of which goes to show that the worm will turn sometime or other. When ex-Mayor Hooper and ex-Mayor Hayes get together in a scrap, somebody will see the fur fly. Too bad this scrapping and the Christmas holidays so very near too. Folks may forget to do their Christmas shopping, and then there will be war in real earnest. Mr. Taft is home again. Hope he enjoyed his trip. Now. Mr. Taft what about that Southern policy? Going to keep it up and win one or two Southern States and lose a ball dozen Northern ones? If we keep on hammering at the gates of the Supreme Court they will open some day and let us in, Remember the story of the unjust judge in the Bible? He did not like to but because of the persistence of the woman he had to do something. Them fellows in Washington will have to do something some day whether they like it or not. We are wondering in our minds as to who that Baptist Convention had especially in mind when it sang: "Steal Away to Jesus," as the Governor of the State enforced the church to make a speech. Whether it had a reference to the Governor, giving him a sly hint, or had reference to the convention itself, advising it to put a good distance between itself and the Governor. We would like to hear something more about it. We are perfectly willing that our contemporaries shall have all the use of the matter appearing in these columns they may see fit to use, but we do think they ought to give us a little credit for it. The Detroit Leader made a very acceptable editorial of our Washington article commenting on the recent election. This is not the first time that our contemporaries have used us for their own benefit without credit, and in the future we shall call their hands. NEEDS PROPS. And now comes Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, contending for the continued supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon race, by preventing hegrees from becoming members of the various labor unions. It seems to us that the supremacy of the Anglo-Saxon needs any amount of bracing lately. What is the matter? Is the race getting weak? Is it going down, what is the matter with it anyway? Jim Jeffries tried to bolster it up and now comes Mr. Gompers, and he is trying his hand at the proping up business. With a thousand or two of years behind it, with all the wealth of the world at its command and with all the opportunities it possesses, it does seem to us that something is wrong somewhere with this supremacy business. The Negro is only one to seven, and if these few Negroes with their meagle opportunities can keep the white man guessing, we do not wonder that the white man is all the time studying plans to keep him down. However, the best thing the Negro can do is to organize his own labor unions and then saw wood. His time will come and that very soon. DR. WASHINGTON AND HIS CRITICS Those of us who have watched with pleasure and admiration the marvelous rise of Dr. Booker T. Washington from a position of utter obscurity to a world-famed figure have many times thought that he had reached that position in life where he could view with equanimity some of the bitter criticism that have been leveled at him. Mr. Washington certainly does not harm his critics by the severe denunciation which he makes upon them in the November World's Work, but, on the contrary, certain adds strength to the cause of the men who have been unremitting in their contentions that the Negro be treated as a political aid civil equal. Frederick Douglas, William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy and others were called impractical and denounced because their advocacy of the abolition of slavery was not the general sentiment of that day. John Brown was suered at, Abraham Lincoln was regarded unfavorably by many, but today the Negro is enjoying freedom as a result of the efforts of these misjudged men. The "unieseriales" of today may be the heroes of tomorrow, and the many who have emphasized human rights and privileges, rather than duties, may see the fusion of their labors in an awakened racial and national conscience which small ultimately accord the Negro those rights which other classes of Americans now so freely enjoy. Dr. Dutious and the group of men whom the Tuskegeean terms as "Intellectuals" have not made such heaway or gained much popular acclaim, because their doctrines did not touch upon the material welfare of the money-mad Americans, but they reach those fundamentals which are the desire of all men of all climes. As a circular recently sent out by the National Negro Committee so significantly says, the denial of rights in the South, the curtailment of school facilities and the racial prescriptions, certainly show that all is not well with us, and that the Southern whites are not dealing insistly with us. Dr. Washington must hot place himself outside of that general movement, led by a few men in all races, which means the ultimate granting of the privileges to the many, which in many nations are now only granted to the upper classes. As a man concerned in the material uplift of his race, Dr. Washington justly commands the attention of the world, and Dr. DuBois and the "intellectuals," as they are termed, should claim the attention of believers in manhood rights, and only by working in sympathetic harmony can we hope to realize the civil and political quality of the race, as well as advancement in those things which tend to economic efficiency and importance. SOME MORE ABOUT THAT NE- GRO DAILY. The Afro-American Ledger is by no means a pessimist, on the contrary it is an optimist of the very first water, especially when it comes to dealing with matters affecting the race and the race's interests. It is young enough to be full of enthusiasm and at the same time old enough to look at matters just as they are without the glimmer of youth and its exhuberance in its eyes. Young enough to have visions of the future, and yet not old enough to have reached the chloroform stage. Standing on the bridge over the falls at Charles streets one day last week we were wondering what all that confusion meant. Machinery whirling away, little, dummy cars and a little, grunty engine, running up and down a very crooked railroad and men digging here and there, it was enough to conluse the average mortal, and yet there was not the least confusion about it. Every man knew just what he was doing and why he was digging it. In the months to come there will arise a beautiful structure which will be the admiration of all who look upon it. All of which will come out of a well laid and well defined plan, every item of which was carefully planned from the beginning. A very long introduction to what is intended to be said in possibly less words than the introduction. Our local contemporary, the Times, thinks us rather blue when we take th stand we have taken in reference to a daily paper; but as a matter of fact the whole thing has been in our minds for quite a little while, and even now we are calculating as to the exact time when it will be possible to bring out that very same Negro daily paper. We have calculated to a nicety just what is necessary to run a daily newspaper successfully, and that is just the reason why we are not over-enthusiastic as to its being a thing of the next week or the next month or possibly the next year. Oaks are not mushrooms, they do not grow so fast, neither do they wither so soon. Everything to be stable must have time to grow, and must also have the necessary elements in it to grow to stability. We are not anxious to run ahead in this daily newspaper business; we are willing that anyone who feels he has the ability, experience and money, shall take the lead and go ahead, we will modestly follow in the footsteps or be a humble "looker on in Venice." We shall be satisfied for the present if we shall be able to reach a creditable mark in weekly journalism, perhaps the time will come when we will see our way clear to become a tri-weekly and not a try-weekly, and then perhaps we may reach the point of six days in a week, but in either case we are willing to reach the goal by such steady steps that when we shall have reached it, we will be there to stay. LA LITERARY NS We have received the initial copy of the American Negro Manographs of Washington, D. C., 'Concession Trial and Execution of Nat Turner.' The insurrection which occurred in Southampton, Va., in August 1831, was a most important event which had a wide reaching influence not only at the time but throughout subsequent history of the downfall of slavery. This Monagraph which will repay reading, costs only ten cents and can be obtained by anyone remitting this amount in coin to the American Negro Monographs Co., 609 F. St. N. W., Washington, D. C. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. BAPTISTS AT WORK. TO THE EDITOR: Allow me to state a few things through your valuable paper concerning the great work done by the Maryland Co-operative Baptist State Convention. The public may not know the scope and nature of the work being wrought by this grand institution. We can only hint at the work at this writing, yet we feel that a hint will greatly inform the people generally what we are striving to do in God's name. We maintain an orphanage on McMechen street, where we are trying to care for the homeless children, who need the care of somebody. This organization also keeps a missionary upon the field, in the person of Rev. S. S. Wormley, who visits the destitute and neglected, spreading the gospel in the rural districts, and strengthening weak churches and Sunday-schools, and encouraging pastors who need a word of cheer. Rev. Wormley is surely doing a commendable service to the cause, by his faithfulness, zéal and adaptability to the work. We recognize the power of education and therefore allow no opportunity to slip us when we may help such a worty cause. The cries of the heathen ring in our ears and our hearts are thrilled with the spirit of foreign missions, and today there are men and women teaching and proclaiming the gospel in dark lands who are being greatly assisted by this convention. We mention these things because a delusion prevails that religious interest are at a low ebb, and that the Maryland Co-operative Baptist State Convention is losing its power and influence. Not only is this convention growing numerically, but spiritual and intellectual as well. And there never has been more demonstration of the real pentecostal power, than has been witnessed during the past year by this convention, or the churches composing it. This convention seems to be awakened to the great work before it and is putting on new life for the conflicts. Hence a superior opportunity awaits it, in every part of this State at home and abroad in foreign lands, for to achieve great things for God and the church. Conditions are most favorable for a decided advance in the work of God's kingdom among the nations of the earth. REV. JUNIUS GRAY. Pastor Psalmist Bapt. Church.

SCHOOL BOARD WARMLY CRITICISED. For Not Making Appropriations for School in the Northwestern Much bitter criticism is being heard in the Northwestern section of the city because the School Board has not appropriated money to build a new school in order to relieve the congested condition of the schools in that section of the city. These critics point out the fact that though the colored people supported the last two school loans, ratified by the people, that only $120.000 has been set aside to build a colored school, and that is only designed to relieve the deplorable conditions in Northeast Baltimore. School No. 118, Calhoun and Gold streets, is regarded as a fire trap and a menace to life and limb while the overflow from the Carey Street School is cared for in a decidedly unsuitable building at Pennsylvania avenue and Premont St. The Colored High School is considerably hampered for lack of space, and the fact that this condition is recognized by the School Board is evident from the fact that $160,000 was the tensive appropriation to be made for the enlargement of the school when the campaign for the ratification of the first loan for the improvement of school facilities was being waged. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Ailor formerly of 503 W. Lanvale street have moved into their new home at 623 Dolphin street. HARRY S. CUMMINGS CUMMINGS WOULD LIKE TO RETURN There is every prospect that the fight for the Republian nomination for the First Branch City Council in the Seventeenth ward will be hotly contested. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, who has represented the ward in the City Council for the past four years will be a candidate for renomination, and is already being given assurances by his friends that they are going to support him in the primaries. It seems from present indications that Mr. Cummings will have a strong opposition for renomination Louis H. Davenport is among those who are mentioned to make a contest with Mr. Cummings. Mr. Davenport was defeated for the nomination four years ago in a three-cornered fight. CUMBERLAND NOTES (Special to Afro-American.) Cumberland, Md., Dec. 1.—Thanksgiving was spent very quietly here. None of the churches or societies held a Thanksgiving Day supper. Surely the people of Cumberland are getting more and more like the crab every day. Mr. S. Maynard Burge and son, S. Frederick, spent Thanksgiving in Froschburg. Mr. Burge is arranging to hold a series of meetings in the interest of the I. B. P. O. Elks of the World in Froschburg in the near future, with the object of instituting a lodge or Elks there. M. S. Katherine Banks and Miss Cora Smutts, of Bedford, Pa., were the guests of Madam Helen Campbell Peake at the Arcade during the Thanksgiving holidays. The series of meetings that happened in progress at Ekendree M. E. and Metropolitan A. M. E. Counries for the past month closed last Sunday with gratifying results spiritually. Mrs. Wm. Cooper, who has been dangerously ill for the past two weeks as the Western Maryland Hospital, is reported much better. Mrs. John Brown, of the West Side, is very ill at her home on Chase street. The students of the Mechanic street public school gave a, very creditable mus calorie on last Tuesday evening, in the auditorium of the school.

Mr. Harrison Horner, of Atlantic City, is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mr. Thomas J. Horner. A TOWN OWNED AND OPERATED BY OUR PEOPLE. [Continued from page 1] I have talked to many of the leaders and they told me that they were going to elect W. A. J. Morgan to the place, and then perhaps W. W. Phillips will be elevated to deputy grand master. The next important position to be filled is that of secretary and treasurer of the Masonic Benefit Association. This position was held by Hon. E. E. Perkins, who was postmaster of Edwards, Miss, and last February, when hemaster Lampdon did not point his successor, so that when he died, it was up to Morgan to make the appointment. After the accounts had been audited, and the books all straightened then he appointed Charles Blanks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, to the position. It was a just recognition of merit, fitness and worth. Mr. Banks furnished the bond and took charge of the office. He is a business man of the highest type, and because of his standing in the word of finance and business I feel that there is no question of his ability and giving him the honor. He was in line for it. I know there are several candidates, but Mr. Banks is the right man. I have heard so many say that he would be elected. I do not know of a man in all the state of Mississippi who is better known today than Hon. Charles Banks, and it is all because he has made his way to the front. He has adopted as his motto "Industry, honesty and reliability. When he tells you a thing you are to sleep on he tells you a man he how to mix with his people. Position has never swollen his head. He is with his own people all the time, and every man can approach him. He is for his race, and his race is for him. What more could be expected. In looking over my book I find that I am a little mistaken, because the Grand Lodge will not be held until December 6, and if you want to reach with a letter from the Grand Lodge, I will conference. Clarksdale, Miss. I will go to the Grand Lodge. I think I have had enough to say for this week, though there are many other things which must have my attention. I am told that there was an election this month. I am now asking for the results. I want to know who was elected President of the United States. Where is President Taft? Well if he was elected again I must bow. I heard that he has appointed Hon. W. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general. I am not going to sleep much in the future, but will see what is going on in our country. Now I like to have forgotten to tell you that Rev H, II, Buckingham has been appointed Grand master of Exchequer for the Grand Lodge of Pythians in Mi-sissippi. I congratulate him. He has given it out that he will not run for the office at the Grand Lodge next July, hence that will make a good owing for S. II. Highland, who at present hold the position of grand keeper of records and seals. He is a fine man, and is entitled to some consideration. I know of no man who is better prepared for the position. I hope that he will do much for his people through the position. I will have more to say about Mr. Highland in another letter. CHESTERTOWN HAPPENINGS (Special to Atro-American.)

END STOMACH TROUBLE NOW Dyspenisia, Gas, Sourness or Indigestion Go Five Minutes After Taking a Little Diapausep. If your meals don't fit comfortably, or you feel bloated after eating, and you believe it is the food which fills you; if what little you eat lies like lead on your stomach; if there is difficulty in breathing, eructations of sour, undigested food and acid, heart burn, brash or a belching of gas, you can make up your mind that you need something to stop food fermentation and cure Indigestion. A large case of Pape's Diapausep costs only fifty cents at any drug store here in town, and will convince any stomach sufferer five minutes after taking a single dose that Fermentation and Sour Stomach is causing the misery of Indigestion. No matter if you call your trouble Catarrh of the Stomach, Dyspepsia Nervousness or Gastritis, or by any other name—always remember that a certain cure is waiting at your drug store the moment you decide to begin its use. Pape's Diapepsia will regulate any out-of-order Stomach within five minutes, and digest promptly, without any fuss or discomfort, all of any kind of food you eat. These large 50-cent cases contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure any chronic case of Dyspepsia Indigestion, Gastritis or any other Stomach trouble. Should you at this moment be suffering from Indigestion, Gas, Sourness or any stomach disorder, you can surely get relief within five minutes. Desperate Situation.

LESSONS IN SELF RESTRAINT Young Writer's Psychological View of Parents' Responsibility In the Education of Children—Best Methods of Preparing Young Minds For the Reception and Retention of Knowledge. By MISS AMELIA A. HOWARD. A very true saying of an able barrister whose name I do not recall is that there are three things in knowing. First, is knowing what to know; second, is knowing how to know, and, third, is knowing when to know. The importance of home education to children or sowing the seeds of cultivation should claim the most careful attention of all teachers. The agriculturist and horticulturist are two skilled persons whom the world must admire and feel proud of. In the first instance they look at the condition of the soil, enrich it, then sow it with such seed as the soil will best yield and cultivate it for the community at large. Who can but admire the neatness and greenishness and freshness when traveling along a country road during cultivation season? In the second case the person plants and cultivates such things that give us shade and adorn our yards with verdure, beauty and fragrance. So we observe that there are health, strength and beauty combined in the previous kind of sowing and cultivation. How much more important it is that the lives of our children should boast of this health, strength and beauty. The education of children requires consideration of human nature in general, which changes with the progressive development of youth; consideration of the age in which they are living, of the personality of each individual character and of the law of development, which as regards the spiritual nature is a higher outcome of the general law of the development of the universe. There is not enough of conviction in the minds of the parents and guardians that the responsibility of their children's acts, either good or bad, rests upon their older shoulders; that the final outcome of their children's lives depends almost entirely upon parental influences. The bringing up of a child thus means a series of lessons in self-restraint, in watchfulness and in adherence to an ideal for the parent even more than for the child. The child will fashion himself after the patterns that he sees. He does not grow according to any fixed rule implanted in him before birth. We must know exactly what children are, what their development is and for what they are best fitted. It must be admitted that this task, or duty, rather, always has been bestowed upon the gentler sex, for the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. One of our greatest statesmen—to fact, one of the best men the world has yet known—was praised on one occasion for his greatness, and Abraham Lincoln replied, "All that I am, all that I ever shall be, is due to my aged mother." The curious mother can give a logical training in the home. Your child has bumped his head. Let him see that it was not the fault of the table, but of himself, because he did not look where he was going. Thus by learning the cause he learns to avoid further bumps. In fact, that only is the right education which makes all learning serve as an instrument with which to train the child to see in an effort the cause—in other words, to become a rational being to whom great truths of life have been shown. And, again, the child before whose eyes sensible objects are brought in the correct order of the parts to the whole and in the logical connection of things will, when reflected power is developed, also perceive this order of logical connection clearly and definitely in the intellectual world. Some people strive to develop the child along moral lines adopted by society. Others strive to develop the child both morally and intellectually so that he will be an object of admiration at home, in society and in business. And this is truly an intelligent aim. Teach the child to measure his life by acts of goodness, to study daily the things that are pure and noteworthy, to be charitable in his dealings with others, to remove or hide the smile and cease to replace at the efforts or mistakes of others, to strive always to perform his duty in the right way and to remember that the greatest person is the one who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storm and most fearless under menace and whose reliance on truth and virtue and in good is most unfaltering. The task of education is to assist natural development toward its desig end. As the child's development begins with its first breath, so must its education; also as the beginning gives a foundation to the whole after development, so the early beginnings of education are of most importance. CAPABLE MAN ON THE JOB. Henry Neal's Long Record as Congress Speaker's Attendant. One of the best known colored men in Washington to members of congress who have served for any length of time is Henry Neal, an attache of the speaker's room, who has occupied the position of general attendant to the speaker of the national house of representatives for a period of years covering and since the time of Speaker John G. Carlisle of Kentucky. When Thomas E. Reed was first elected speaker he retained the services of Mr. Neal in his office. When Charles F. Crisp came into power as the presiding officer of the congress he also reappointed Mr. Neal. Upon the advent of Tom Reed as his friends were wont to call him to the speaker's chair for the second time, serving a double term, he found his faithful friend Mr. Neal still on duty and was pleased to retain him in his service. Speaker Henderson and Uncle Joe Cannon each found in Mr. Neal a man of rare faculty and uniting devotion to his duties. Mr. Neal still occupies the position. The fact that a change in the speakership will come with the convening of the Sixty-second congress is said to be causing much speculation as to whether the next speaker will retain Mr. Neal, as did his predecessors for all these years. Mr. Neal, however, so it is said, is not at all worried over the matter and is going straight ahead, performing his work as usual. Mr. Neal is a native of Kentucky, but with the advent of each new speaker he humorously hays claims to the state from which the new speaker comes. Boston Organization Will Co-operate In Summer Centenary Celebration. The Anti-lynching society, of which Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson is president and Mrs. Addie H. Jewett, secretary of the public bureau, has received and accepted an invitation from the New England Suffrage league to join it in the forthcoming celebration in Boston of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Charles Summer. At a recent meeting of the association held at the residence of Mrs. Parrish on Camden street, Boston, it was decided also to send a letter of thanks to the governor of New Jersey and other state officials for their prompt action in protecting the life of a colored man accused of crime from the ruthless vengeance of a bloodthirsty mob, thereby giving the accused a chance to be brought to trial according to law. The Summer celebration will be the principal event of interest in Boston and visibility for Friday, Jan. 6. There will be three sessions, morning, afternoon and evening. The Anti-lynching association cooperating with the New England Suffrage league will do all in its power in helping to make the affair a great success, which will be in keeping with the services to the race and the country generally rendered by Charles Summer. The association now holds public meetings monthly. At these meetings reports are made of the work accomplished and of the future aims of the organization. Working as it is along definite lines, the society hopes to accomplish much good in bringing to light from time to time information which might not be bad single handed Race Prejudice Rampant in Baltimore The effort of the city council in Baltimore to pass an ordinance which will forbid colored people from living in the same street or section of the city in which white people reside is born of prejudice of the richest kind. The charge that property values depreciate in sections where colored people live may be logically dismissed by saying that if the property owners took the same care in keeping their real estate in the same good and sanitary conditions, where colored people live as they do occupied by the same class of whites the so called depreciation would not appear to be a factor. Inventor and Expert Mechanic. Besides being a first class mechanic, James Leach of Passaic, N. J., has recently won fame by inventing a device for improving the tone of the photograph. Mr. Leach exhibited at the Edison company, and so pleased were the managers of the concern with the possibilities of the Leach improvement that they offered him a large sum for it. This is another instance in which the colored man has shown superior skill and mental ability. Smith Looking For Men of His Class. Much interest has been aroused in lightweight pugilistic circles by the announcement that Bob (Kid) Smith, the clever lightweight pugilist, is scheduled to visit the United States about Dec. 1. He is said to be very clever and will take to take on those of his class at an early date. Mr. Smith will probably make his first stop in Chicago. Engineers Interested in New Device Railroad engineers are said to be very much interested in the new coupling apparatus for trains patented by Dr. W. D. Tardiff of Stanford, Ky. The new device enables an engineer to unhook his engine without leaving the cab. It is both a convenience and a time saver. Dr. Tardiff has something which the railroads need and which many are anxious to purchase. --- Sunday School Lesson for December 4, 1910. (Specially Arranged for This Paper.) LESSON TEXT.—Matthew 26:31-35. 69-75. Memory verses, 74-75. GOLDEN TEXT.—"Let him that thinketh he standeth take need lest he fall."—I Cor. 10:12. TIME.—The denials were early Friday morning, April 7, A. D. 80. PLACE.—In the court of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas, in the southwest part of Jerusalem. EXPOSITION—The first thing Jesus did for Peter was to set before him in his first interview the goal and ideal of his life. He was to be changed from the Simon we have just been viewing into Peter, the Rock. His incubies qualitative were to be unified into one beautiful whole; the separate and sometimes discordant notes of his character were to be formed into the exquisite harmonies or a Hallelujah chorus. For three years Peter was an earnest pupil in Christ's school. He made many mistakes; he fought many battles on the battlefield of his heart; he had some severe reproofs, but he had a wise, encouraging, patient teacher. After a time he was advanced to the highest grade with James and John. "The first essential for success is a soul," an awakened soul. One of the most interesting studies for a teacher, is to go carefully through the Gospels, and study Christ's method of teaching and training such an unruly but earnest scholar as Peter was. "Thou shalt deny me thrice; disown me as your Lord and Master." Peter was sure that he would not fall in the hour of temptation. No one knows what he will in do unexpected circumstances. But Jesus did all he could to put Peter on his guard. An interval of some hour. Gethsemane; Peter, weared, sleeps on guard. The arrest; Peter and all the apostles desert Jesus. But Peter and John follow afar off. The trial before the Sanhedrin in some room of Caliphas' palace, opening into a court. Peter was sitting with the servants and others around a fire and he denied Christ before them all, who were gathered around the fire. The main charge was prominently made by one, a kinsman of Malchus, who had seen Peter in the garden and was known to St. John from his acquaintance with the high priest's household. For thy speech betrayetya thee, "betrayetya," shows that thou art a Gallilean, and therefore one of his disciples, or why else art thou here? "I know not the man." And this in the very presence of Jesus. "The ways down which the bad slip, Wickness slides to a shoreless ocean must be greased with lies." "A lie is put out to interest, and the interest is compound." Then Jesus looked upon Peter. Peter remembered the warning, and went out and wept the bitterest tears of repentance. From this time on Peter was a new man. The charcoal had become diamond. He describes the effect in his first Epistle (1:7). "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold, perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found upon praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ." Peter rejoiced when he could express his love to Jesus by suffering in his cause. He wrote a letter which has been a comfort and a power all down the ages. His victory—not his fall—in the great crises gave him power over men to the end. PROHIBITION BRIEFLETS Wade Clark of Americus was recently convicted of operating a blindiger in that city. He was sentenced by Judge Charles Crisp to twelve months in the changang or a fine of $100. The fine can not be paid, however, until at least two months of the time has been served in the changang. Pasadena, a prohibition city in California, has an assessed valuation of $38,901,170 with a city tax of $8 cents on the hundred dollars. Sacramento, with an assessed valuation of $30,408,900, and high license, has a tax rate of $12 on the hundred. Quite a difference in favor of the dry city this. The prohibitionists of Virginia have scored a signal victory in voting the "wettest" county in the state dry. It was a hard fought battle, but it resulted in Norfolk county going "dry." At Glasgow, England, during the Woman's Christian Temperance union meeting, held this summer, there were present 450 delegates, representing many different nationalities—Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt, Madagascar, Syria, South Africa, Japan, Korea, China, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Scotland, Ireland, England and the United States.

Western North Carolina Conference, the Most Important Body of the A. M. E. Zion Connection, Given Some Sound Advice by Presiding Bishop, Interests of the Denomination. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING. From the reports of the ministers representing over 20,000 communicants at the twentieth annual session of the western North Carolina conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion denomination, recently held in the new commodious brick church of the connection in Statesville, N. C., the success of the denomination during the past year has been unprecedented. Bishop George W. Clinton, D. D., presided over the conference. The personality of this noted prelate and race leader and the true development of every facility for proper advancement have made Bishop Clinton a potent factor in the progress of the race along many lines. This is the leading conference of Zion's denomination. Within its borders are found Livingstone college, its leading institution, from which every year it gives its quota of thoroughly prepared young men and women. The publishing house of the denomination in Charlotte, N. C., was erected this year at a cost of $15,000. A pertinent feature of the conference was Bishop Clinton's annual address, in which he eloquently enaptured his audience by uncompromisingly asserting himself for the good of the race. Bishop Clinton spoke in part as follows: "While we should be concerned about the nation's welfare and should P. MISSORE GEORGE W. CLINTON. contribute as much as possible to its general betterment as well as to the good of the local community, there are some matters of special interest to us as a people. "The indianable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the constitutional privilege of exercising the franchise, the opportunity to labor so that we may secure sufficient means to provide a decent living for ourselves and our families, the privilege of enjoying the benefit of a free school system that furnishes adequate primary training for the youth of our race and the impartial rights promised by just laws fairly administered are matters about which every Negro should deeply concern himself. "Furthermore," he said, "our government has put a premium upon and in a measure inspired race prejudice and its concomitant civil consequences by making color rather than character and fitness the condition upon which men shall hold offices of trust and responsibility in certain sections." Bishop Clinton enunciated with especial vigor that "neither lily whitism, the denial of office holding to colored men in the south nor the giving of a few offices to prominent Democrats at the expense of old line Republicans can be depended upon to break the solid south and get support for a discredited administration and a divided party. "The colored man has at last learned that he, like other thoughtful citizens, must use his vote to the welfare of the community and state in which he lives rather than to blindly follow a party that used to his own hurt and against his best personal interest its power." For harmony and ability to do business and good reports for every department of the church the conference was a splendid example of religious progress. Odd Fellows of the Far West Active: The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in the far west is still holding its own. In Denver Dr. P. M. Spratlin is working up a new club, which already has a large number of applicants enrolled. When the club is made into a lodge it will be a splendid addition to secret society life in Denver. A TIMELY WARNING. Backache, headache, dizzy spells and distressing urinary troubles warn you of dropsy, diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. Act in time by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. They have cured thousands and will cure you. 1 Mrs. Joseph Bryson, 217 Perry St. Columbia, Pa. says: "My feet and ankles were badly swollen and my relatives expected me to die at any moment. Doctors did not understand my case and could not help me. Imagine my surprise at obtaining almost instant relief from Doan Kidney Pills. I continued until permanently cured."

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Then she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatment after we found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, M. Vernon, Ky., Oct 12, 1923. TOUGH LOCK, INDEED. Nurse—Hivins!

This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases of Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble which have made so many cripples, invalids and weaklings of some, our brightest and strongest per. The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, have been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The prescription is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Recent experiments in hospital cases prove this simple mixture effective in Rheumatism. Because of its positive action upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys, it compels these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and removes quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, painful scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a gentle, thorough regulator to the entire kidney structure. The e. who suffer and are accustomed to purchase a bottle of medicine should not let a little inconvenience interfere with making this e. or have your drugstool do it for you. RECEPTION AND REUNION. Society of the Sons of Virginia Had a Merry Time. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The thirteenth annual reception of the Society of the Sons of Virginia at Pilgrim hall, Court street, Brooklyn, was one of the most enjoyable social affairs among mutual benefit organizations in the city on Thanksgiving night. It is the custom of the society to make its Thanksgiving reception each year a grand reunion of members and friends. In this respect its desire was more than gratified, for the function proved to be a happy occasion for the renewing of old acquaintances formed between persons when in Virginia who are now residents of New York. Public spirited citizens in many walks of life were present and gave their unqualified approval of the record and work of the organization. In the line of duty to its members and liberal warmth of spirit and generosity toward churches, charitable institutions and educational interests of the race it won the highest respect and praise of the public a few years ago by making one of its members who lost his sight independent for life and paid his endowment when he died a few months ago. This act, with many other kindnesses shown to members who became sick or otherwise disabled, has made the name Society of the Sons of Virginia a household word. The members for the most part are loyal and true to the principles of the organization and delight in working for its prosperity. By thrift and economy the society has saved a sum of several thousand dollars. Its bills are promptly paid, and it is clear of debt. It is incorporated under the laws of the state of New York and has an elective board of directors of nine members. Peter H. Fisher, president of the society, is one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Brooklyn. He is an Odd Fellow of rank, and as clerk of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ for the past twenty-five years he is known throughout the northern and New England states. John W. Winter, chairman of the reception committee, is a well known and successful business man. INDEPENDENT POLITICAL LEAGUE'S BIG VICTORY. Majority of Candidates Whom it Opposed Were Defeated. In speaking of the part which colored men took in the recent election in so far as their votes effected the great Democratic victory in the various states the Rev. Dr. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, who is the national organizer for the independent political leagues, says: "From reports received," said Dr. Waldron, "we feel justified in saying that of the 45,000 colored voters in New York state 30,000 voted for Mr. Dix, and of the 75,000 in Ohio 65,000 at least supported Governor Harmon, while in Indiana, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri and New Jersey not less than 50 per cent voted with the Democrats. "These estimates agree with the reports of many of the more prominent colored Republican campaign workers and speakers in the states mentioned above whom we have conversed with confidentially since the election. "It is a significant fact that all Republican gubernational candidates and most of the Republican nominees for congress whom the league opposed were defeated by an overwhelming majority. "It would seem that, while Colonel Roosevelt's advocacy of or opposition to certain candidates in New York and Ohio, did not materially change the white vote either way, it drove the colored voter away from the candidates he favored and sent large numbers into the ranks of those he opposed." Republicans Have Balance of Power. There is no real reason why the republicans in the United States senate should become alarmed over the recent Democratic victory. The senate has a safe working majority, and the president of the United States, who has the last say on matters of public policy and national legislation, is a Republican. With the senate majority and the president's voting power a stop can be put to any attempt by the Democrats to overdo things. Judge Kills Grandfather Clause. Judge Morris of Maryland did what the astute jurists of the United States supreme court have not had backbone enough to do, says the Norfolk (Va.) Journal and Guide. He pronounced the infamous "grandfather clause" in violation of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. Somehow we believe Judge Morris's decision spells disaster to the suffrage amendments. Traditions of the Democratic Party. Judging the future in the light of the past, one can easily see the outcome of the Democratic situation two years hence, says the Houston (Tex.) Freeman. Doing the wrong thing at the wrong time seems to be an established rule and a tradition, too, of the Democratic party. New Masonic Lodge Instituted. The Masonic fraternity in Orange, N. J., and vicinity had an interesting time at the recent institution of a new lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons in that town. The new lodge starts off with flying colors with fifty substantial members. The great success of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in curing weak stomachs, wasted bodies, weak lungs, and obstinate and lingering coughs, is based on the recognition of the fundamental truth that "Golden Medical Discovery" supplies Nature with body-building, tissue-repairing, muscle-making materials, condenser andoucocutated form. We help Nature supplies the necessary strength to the stomach to digest food, build up the body and thereby throw off lingering obstinate coughs. The "Discovery" re-establishes the digestive and nutritive organs in sound health, purifies and catches the blood, and nourishes the nerves—in short establishes sound vigorous health. If your dealer offers something "just as good," it is probably better FOR HIM...it pays better. But you are thinking of the cure not the profit, so there's nothing "just as good" for you. Say so.

Preaches to an Overflow Audience at John Wesley Looking the picture of health and with the same hearty greeting as of old for his friends, Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, former United States Minister to Liberia, arrived in the city late last Saturday afternoon. The night before he was the guest of honor at a reception given by Mr. Philip A. Payton, a wealthy real estate dealer of New York. Dr. Lyon preached to an overflowing congregation at John Wesley M. B. Church Sunday morning, and was warmly welcomed by many on his return to the pastorate of the church. He still has a deep interest in the welfare of Liberia, to which government he was the accredited representative of this country for over seven years. His departure from the Liberia post was keenly regretted by the leading Liberian officials, and a number of letters were sent to the State Department extolling Dr. Lyon's great diplomatic service. Dr. Lyon will probably lecture on affairs in the West African republic, and has already been invited to speak in a number of cities. The affairs and history of Liberia have claimed much of his leisure time, and he probably knows more about the country than any other American. He attended a reception given in New York last night in honor of Booker T. Washington, at the home of Mr. Philip A. Payton, of 13 W. 131st street. Dr. Lyon's little son, Monroe came to this country with him. His two daughters remained in Liberia with their husbands.
