Many of the pupils have spent part of their vacations out of the city like wise teachers. A number of teachers attended summer schools. There will be but few new teachers in the ranks of the teachers, only a few having resigned to accept positions elsewhere or to get married. It is expected that all of the schools will show an increase in enrollment, and that at the High School alone will exceed 150. While one of the colored schools will occupy a new building this fall, all have been renovated throughout. Washington, Sept. 13 — Capt. Charles Young, of the Ninth Cavalry, has been promoted to the rank of Major. Major Young is the only colored officer n the United States Army who holds such rank, and also enjoys the distinction of being the only man of the race in the army who is an alumnus of the West Point Military Academy. Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, also colored is a graduate of West Point, but has not been connected with the army for some years. Major Young is a native of Kentucky. He was graduated from West Point in 1889, and has been in the regular army since. With the exception of one year's service with a white regiment, all of his time has been spent with colored troops, except when he was military attache at the American legation in Monrovia, Liberia and at Port au Prince, Hayti. He has seen service in the Phillipines and at one time was instructor in military tactics at Wilberforce University. He has a fine record and is well liked by army officers. There were quite a number of colored Majors during the Civil War, Major Martin R. Delaney being the best known. Former Congressman John R. Lynch was appointed a paymaster with the rank of Major during the Spanish-American War. He was placed on the retired list some months ago, having reached the age limit of 64 years. Gets Appointment as Foreman Philadelphia, Sept. 13 — Controverting recent attacks on the administration that, in making appointments, directors discriminated against colored men irrespective of their rating on the civil service eligible lists, Assistant Director Reed reed yesterday appointed Fred. W. Matheas, 1509 South Eighteenth street, as foreman of repairs at $850 a year in the municipality's street repair corps. "I was very glad," Mr. Reed said yesterday, in talking of the appointment, "to give this man the job. He is a graduate of the University of Maine in civil engineering and came to this city several months ago asking for employment in municipal work. I asked him if he were willing to be begin as a laborer and he promptly said he was and hoped by good work to fit himself for preferment. He started as a laborer, and then took a civil service examination for a better position with the result that he came out, second on the list and has been appointed to his present place." John Mitchell-Attending Meeting of Bankers "Detroit, Mich. Sept. 12 — John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, Rich- Prof. Brock Takes Charge Of Durham School Philadelphia, Sept. 12—For the first time in the history of the city, a public school opened Monday with a colored principal. The school is the Durham School, 16th and Lombard streets, and its head is J. R. Paul Brock, formerly a teacher in the Baltimore Public Schools. He is a graduate of the West Chester (Pa.) High School and Dickinson College. Most of the teachers and pupils of the school are colored. Masons Lay Corner Stone Belair, Md., Sept. 12—The Cornerstons of the new Ebenezer Baptist Church was laid "Sunday with appropriate services. Progress Lodge of Masons of Towson, had charge of the services, under the direction of Frank Augins, worship-f master of the lodge. Nelson Walker, George T. Dupin, Norris C. Burke and George Berry were among the Baltimore Masons present. The question of leadership among the colored Democrats in and around New York City, is a mooted one. Whether it is R. N. Wood or Bishop Walters, seems to be as unsolvable as the famous query, "Who struck Billy Patterson?" The Afro-American Ledger, duly chroniled the fact of Bishop Walters having been elected president of the National Colored Democratic League, and the selection of Mr. Wood as chairman of the executive committee of the League. Later came the story that Mr. Wood had been deposed as chairman. While a representative of the Afro-American Ledger, was in New York last week, he was told that Mr. Wood had been reinstated, and another representative was told the same thing by two genielem in Washington on Wednesday of last week. The story of the reinstation was published and this week we received the following telegram from the secretary of Bishop Walters: "Please make the following correction in your paper. Bishop Walters is still leader of the National Colored Democracy by appointment of the National Democratic Committee. If you doubt that he has charge of the colored campaign you can come to New York and see for yourselves or you may write the Democratic National Committee." With Mr. Wood's friends claiming that he is to direct the Wilson campaign among the colored voters and the assertion of Bishop Walter's friends that the prelate is the appointed leader, the Afro-American Ledger passes the mooted question on to its readers. Chronicle Changes Hands Chicago, Sept. 12. — With this issue of the Illinois Chronicle the management of the paper passes into the hands of Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Mr. Simmons was born in Mississippi about 30 years ago. He was educated at Fish University. He is a voracious reader, and is regarded as one of the best speakers in the country. He has had previous journalistic experience, and for some months connected with the New York Age.

MIDNIGHT TO REST IN CALIFORNIA San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 12—I have been a little under the weather, and I am going to take two weeks of absolute rest, going to California, from the National Baptist Convention, which is now on me. It has been a long time since I have sent a letter to the office, and perhaps some of you have thought me dead, but I am not yet, but have moved around a little. Since writing, I have been to the Grand Court of Calanthe of Alabama, presided over by one of the greatest women of the race, Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, and then to the National Negro Business League in Chicago, and to the International Order of Twelve Knights and Daughters of Tabor, in Louisville, Ky., thence across the country, to another part of the world. If you want to reach me now, before I go to California send your letter to Fort Worth, Texas, care R. C. Houston, Jr. Now coming back to leaving Loiusville, Ky., I had the bed car out of there, a whole drawing room. I met a big man on the place complaining about his color, and his inability to get a bed on the bed car. I assured him that it was possible to get one in the South, and that I would allow him to share the drawing room with me for $2.00 which was the cost of a berth to Montgomery. I wish you could have heard him making excuses then, and I said nothing else to him, for it was merely a bluff he was making. I made the trip from Louisville to New Orleans, on the L. & N. and then changed to the Southern Pacific, and rode to Jennings, La. I was on the road from 9.30 Friday evening until 5 o'clock Sunday morning and had plenty to eat as I moved along. New Orleans was reached, and I purchased a bus ticket from one stable to the other, from the agent of the New Orleans Transfer Company. I went to the place where they were standing and asked for the S. P. bus, and one was pointed out to me. I got in and a white man came and told me that on top was the place for me to ride. I got out and said "You mean for met to put my baggage up there." "No I mean for you to crawl your black self up here and ride." "Not on your tint type," I replied, "and I shall demand my money from the agent and turn back this ticket, and I will walk over, and I stared in search of the agent, but he told me to come on back and get in. Jennings was reached and I spent all day Sunday there, leaving early Monday morning for Houston, Texas, where I remained over night. It was Monday night that I stayed in Houston. Tuesday morning bright and early found me up and at the stable waiting for the wagon to come and convey me to Columbus Texas. After a few hours ride I was in Columbus, and when I stepped off a man walked up took hold of my trunks, and said that he had been instructed to meet the biggest man who lighted from the iron wagon. Soon he had me loaded in his wagon, and on my way to the home of Mine Road, Pufnford Then back to Schulenburg, Texas, where Miss Smith, met me and carried me to her home. Mrs. J. A. Green, the mother of the two young women, was at home getting things in shape, and the daughters met me. Mrs. Green is principal of the public school there, and I am told that she is considered a fine teacher. I do know that she is a fine woman, and while she is a widow, she is a busy woman. Both of her daughters are teachers. I spoke there at night, and when I had finished then Prof. W. H. Isaacs' son was here to meet me and carry me out to his home. Prof. Isaacs, belongs to one of the substantial families of Texas, and they have an important place in the history making of the State. I was soon in the cottage of Mr. and Mrs. Isaacs. Miss M. E. B. Isaacs, who is a teacher in Houston, and who is spending her vacation in Oakland, received me. She is a graduate from Prairie View. I shall not attempt to tell you about the many things I saw out in the country, for it would take too much time and space. You have missed many things, but I will not have time to go back and take them up. I will have some other things to tell you later. Clearspring Happenings. (Special to Afro-American Ledger.)

Grand Master of the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows of the Leeds Unity. Mr. Asbury was in the city recently when he affiliated the Maryland lodges of the National Progressive Order of Odd Fellows. LAST FRIDAY A DAY OF HORRORS First The Press Breaks and Cold Blooded Murder In Full View of Entire Office Force Last Friday night everybody was feeling out of humor in the office of the Afro-American Ledger. The press had broken down, necessitating having the paper printed on the outside; some Taftites had been in to say that the Bull Moose folks did not have any show; the news editor was "cussing" the "make-up" man for leaving out the story of the death of R. R. Chruch, the mail was late and the "Devil" was complaining about the excessive heat when a murder made everybody forget his grievance. A humble little fly had alighted on a copy of the Afro-American Ledger to get a peep at the news in advance, and a passing and illiterate gallinipper espied him. The gallinipper's rage knew no bounds, and in a twinkling of an eye had landed on the back of the inquisitive [Mr. Fly. There the murderous Gallinipper stayed until the last drop of blood had been sucked from the veins of the helpless Mr. Fly and the latter was lying cold in death. In the excitement caused by the coldblooded murder, Mr. Gallinlipper escaped. No extra edition announcing the crime was issued, because, as aforesaid, the Afro-American Ledger was already behind time and the press was broken. "That beats me," said the "Devil," as he gathered up the remains of Mr. Fly, put on his coat, turned out the lights and departed for home. N. P. O. Odd Fellows Affiliate With Grand Master Asbury The Maryland Lodges of the National Progressive Order of Odd Fellows have affiliated with the Ancient Order of Odd Fellows, of the Leeds Unity.

And this enthusiasm is not confined to any section’of the country, or to any race'of people: It is universal. But while it is universal it is to be noted: that the.attempt to: suppress or minimize it comes from the privileged classes. Caesar's. fa- mous ‘'Terith Legion’” made. up_ of tthe ordinary. stuff-from’ whieh are ‘drawn ‘the great body of: common people-fairly worshipped their lead- er, and were content “to follow him into the very, jaws of death. ‘And it. was ‘because of Caesar's hold’ tipon the ‘devotion of the [great body: of common people . of /his,empire that inspired the treach- ery. of that:oligarchy: which . would away. with him so as to defeat the ‘triuimplhiof the liberties of the peo- ple..* Caesar was the object of such ‘enthusiasm because he. was the in- ‘carviation ‘of the: hopes and: aspire- ‘tions’of the hhumbler-folks. ‘The greatest: Reformer in the his tory:of the world appeared. in ‘the ‘humble garb of a poor:peasant Jew, atid straightway arolised:the hatred and jealousy of: thie ‘dominant “and privilexed classes of his day, while |he'attracted: beyond, enumeration, tthe great lass of comimon’ people.

TRUTH ABOUT HIGH COST OF LIVING GETS HEARING. Responsibility Laid at Door of Republican Party—Facts Cited. Housewives, as well as the men who have to furnish the wherewithal to fill the market basket, are deeply concerned about the high cost of living. Our Republican contemporaries are endeavoring to assign every possible reason except the true one for the high price of the necessaries of life. During the panic of 1893, under a Democratic president, they did not fail to charge that panic up to the party in power. It is remembered by many of the consumers that housewives at that time could go to market with a dollar and, after purchasing a pound of butter, a dozen of eggs and a pound or two of beefstek, have at least enough change left to pay car fare home or hire a boy to carry the market basket. Prices of the necessaries of life went downward in place of upward. What is the fact since the panic of 1007, brought on during a period of the greatest prosperity the nation ever enjoyed and under a Republican administration? How much change does the thrifty housewife receive now out of a dollar after purchasing one dozen eggs, a pound of butter and a pound of beefsteak? Forsooth, $1 will not purchase the articles. The plain truth of the matter is that the Republican party, which has been responsible for the great trust, the robber tariff, the money barons and the big business thieves, is also responsible for the smaller fellows who have taken advantage of their fellow man. What earthly reason is there for the extortionate prices asked for the usual garden truck? There is no scarcity of it, and the wages of the farm laborer have not been increased. Carrots, that were once the food of cows, are just as plentiful as ever they were and the demand for them no greater, yet they have increased 50 per cent in market value. When the plain people rise up in their might and smite the party that permits the cold storage of necessaries of life, places a restraint upon the express companies, which arbitrarily fix freight rates for hauling the food people must have to sustain life, the cost of living will be materially reduced. Ians Are Saying—Swann Division of Vote. e caption, "Make the Negro Vote a Factor." Thomas Wallace Swann, chairman of the publicity bureau of the National Colored Democratic league, says: "The three great leaders of the Negro race in this country are well divided in their political faiths and all are evidently honest and sincere as they see it. Bishop Alexander Walters advocates Democracy. Dr. Booker T. Washington leads the van of the Republicans, and Professor W. E. B. Dr. Rois, editor of the Crisis and leader for the movement for the advancement of the race, has turned to socialism as a panacea for our troubles. And this, thank the Lord, means a division of the Negro vote. Divide and conquer." Taft Must "Toke" Square or Step Down President Taft has again indicated his hostility toward Negroes by sign- ing an executive order providing that in the case of all free rural delivery appointments three eligibles shall be certified in each instance to the ap- pointing office instead of one, as in the past. This appears to be done for the purpose of preventing colored men from being appointed.—Crisis Magn. zine.

"I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational invention of modern times," writes Prof. W.I. Thomas, Professor of Sociology in the University of Chicago. Industry is the spirit of Tuskegee—industry and discipline are made of habit. The choice of some 40 trades is offered young men and young women. Tuskegee graduates are earning from $50.00 to $80.00 and $100.00 per month as Academic Teachers, Farm Managers, Steam and Electrical Engineers, Tailors, Teachers of Domestic Science, Nurses, in fact, the demand for men and women trained in all the trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the supply. The Academic Work is vital and real; it is close to realities. The school seeks soundness and efficiency; the Academic and Industrial Work are closely correlated. The Spiritual Work of the school is strong. It ranks fifth in the United States in number of students studying the Bible. It is guided by a Chaplain and a Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association and thru a Robert R. Church, Memphis' Wealthiest Man, Dead. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 8. — Robert R. Church, Sr., one of the wealthiest men in the city, died here a fortnight ago, after an illness of eighteen months. He was born in slavery 74 years ago. He started out in life as a cabin boy on a Mississippi River, steamboat, and drifted to this city years ago. He saved his money while working in a livery stable, and later opened a saloon. Business prospered, he bought property and at the time of his death owned several hundred houses in this city, which brought him an income of $6,000 a month. His home was one of the finest in the city. The deceased was a man of liberal spirit and when the Confederate veterans held their reunion here a few years ago, he contributed $1,000 toward their entertainment. He was the founder and first president of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company. JACK and Evelyn were hoping that the sandman that night. You see the next day was Saturday, and grandpa had promised to take them on a nice trip to the city if they would get up in time to meet him at the village station for the 8 o'clock train. The children were going to bed as soon as they had their supper so that they might be able to turn out bright and early in the morning. "Ah," said daddy, "the way to please the sandman is to go to bed early every night. He is a regular old soul is the sandman and gets into a way of coming back to the same house at about the same time every night. "You see, the sandman has his sleeping time in the day, when the children are wide awake. When the dusk comes on, the silver bells all over his silver palace in the moon ring out to him that it is the children's sleepy time. "Then the sandman crawls out of his nice soft bed, throws off his nightcap and nightgown and gets into his working clothes as fast as ever he can. Last of all, he claps on his invisible cap. Then human eyes, no matter how they may stare, cannot see him. "Stepping out through his beautiful girl's dream horses and, harnessing them to his silver dream, charit, darts down to earth, where the little boys and girls in their white nighties are crawling into their sort little beads. their soft little beads. "Very quietly the sandman creeps in at each window and, putting his hand into one of the bags which he wears at his side, sprinkles some of his magic sand into their eyes. Each grain of sand is a beautiful dream that unfolds in lovely colors as the little one sinks deeper and deeper asleep." Company The deceased is survived by his wife, Mrs. Annie Church; two daughters, Miss Arnette and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell; two sons, Thomas A. Church, of New York, and R. R. Church, who is president of the bank that his father founded and has had the general oversight of his father's business affairs. has a bag, the boy or girl who eats too much he has, grains from it are ugly dreams called nightmares. The larger the piece of cake or pie or the richer the candy they have gobbled, just before hopping into bed, the uglier the nightmare is. His compa's he vried and hurries into bed, the sage told, "When the sandman has gone all his rounds he is very home to sink into his own soft bed of poppy leaves, which the elves pick fresh every day. Funeral services were held here last Sunday. Inerment was in Elmwood Cemetery. "No one has ever seen the sandman in his but of course every little boy and girl believes in him." But just then the sandman sprinkled a big handful of sand into Jack and area and they were off to sleep before daddy could get an answer. News From Richmond, Va. Richmond, Va., Sept. 12.—Mr. George St. Julien Stephens has issued invitations to the marriage of his sister, Miss Julia Irene Stephens, to Rev. William Gordon Thurston of Cleveland, Ohio, which will take place next Thursday morning, at 10 o'clock. Miss Stephens is one of the most popular of Richmond's school teachers and is an active worker in the church. The new fraternal Organization, the Supreme Fountain of the National Ideal Benefit Society, Inc., is rapidly forging its way to the front ranks, judging from the work being done in Richmond. Tuesday night last, fifteen new lodges, with membership of more than five hundred were instituted in the new auditorium of the Richmond Beneficial Hall. A. W. Holmes, the Supreme Master conducted the services. He was assisted by S. W. Johnson, the supreme secretary and other members of the officials. What are YOU doing to start that child on the way toward a Successful Future? Mrs. Indiana Jackson, mother of Mrs. Mary Holt Dawson, assistant cashier of St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, died last Tuesday morning. Beside Mrs. Dawson, she is survived by one son, Mr. George W. Jackson, a clerk in the government service at Washington. Why not let us start him in business? You should early start your children on the way to the making of successful business men and women, and there is no better way than by teaching them how to earn their own living—the value of a dollar—and taking upon themselves a part of the responsibilities that will tend toward the development of those qualities of thrift, ambition and self-reliance, that so mark the present-day man of affairs. And there is nothing that will so develop these qualities as selling newspapers. Some of the most successful men and women in public life started out, in that way, and today they would not take in exchange all the wealth they possess for the experience gained during those happy childhood hours when they were vending newspapers on the streets. Tuskegee. Ala. THE WOMEN'S WEEKLY. THE AFRO-AMERICAN-LEDGER is more and more and more becoming recognized as the real home paper among colored people everywhere. Our circulation is increasing every week, and it is largely through the efforts of our young salesmen who start out every week with a bundle of papers under their arms, that this increase is made possible. We want more boys and girls in every section of the country to act as our agents. We want men and women too, but we are particularly anxious for the youngsters. There is a wealth of experience and a very good income for the boy and girl who will devote a few hours on Friday afternoons and a part of Saturday to selling. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER. It is easy to build up a good circulation in your neighborhood that will in a short time more than pay you for your trouble. We will give your boy or girl a star ABSOLUTELY FREE Among the many men of prominence from the far southwest who attended the annual meeting of the National Negro Business league recently held in Chicago was Attorney G. W. F. Sawner of Chandler, Okla. He is known quite widely as one of the pioneers of the early history and development of the state. He is a thorough race leader and a man of excellent business proclivities. Shortly after Oklahoma was admitted into the union of states Mr. Sawner took up permanent residence in Guthrie. It was not long after settling there before he put into practice what he had long held as a strong lever for racial advancement, namely, co-operation in business. With this resolve in view the law firm of Twine, Saddler & Sawner was formed. This was the first law firm of colored American attorneys in Guthrie, and possibly the first in the new state. Through the wise counsel of these three lawyers the way soon opened for other men of the profession to gain recognition in the courts of the state. So that at the present time men who have made their way to the front in the legal profession cite the fact that to the old firm of Twine, Saddler & Sawner is due the credit for doing real pioneer work. After practicing law for a few years Mr. Sawner turned his attention to buying cotton, which was the staple crop of the country at that time. Having had experience previously in his home state, Texas, and by careful study of conditions in a new section and a new soil, he became an expert, and for nearly twenty years in the state he has been an authority on all matters affecting the crop and the sturge. During the time, which he has been in the business he has handled an immense amount of the staple and has a standing in the market equal to that of any man in the state. In localities where the colored people have established settlements of their own, he has been the first layer to establish a market for them. He is the first man of our race to buy cotton upon his own responsibility on the state. Mr. Sawner is now a resident of Chandler, Okla., where he owns valuable city and farm property aside from an elegant home. He is perhaps the only Afro-American who has been in touch with the English market, he having sold cotton from Bolex to the Liverpool market at one time with a consignment of $10,000, a check for which he received solely upon his reputation as a man of honest business methods. Mr. Sawner still engages in the practice of law, but devotes most of his time to buying cotton. He is also prominent in the politics of the state and is a leader in the political affairs of the county in which he lives. BOLEY COMMERCIAL CLUB. Promoter of Industry Among the People of Boley, Okla. The Boley Commercial club. Boley Okla. was organized six years ago. From a small beginning it has grown to large proportions as a strictly business concern. It has a membership of 127 of the most progressive citizens of the town. The mission of the club is to foster and develop the commercial and industrial interests of the community. In this it has done marvelous things for the people. It is in truth an active, well equipped board of trade. W. A. Kennedy, president of the club is a successful merchant; Vice President T. M. Haynes is a banker and real estate dealer; Secretary Isaac W. Young is a practicing physician; C. L. White, the treasurer, is a hardware dealer and 'Auditor E. O. Tyler is a successful at- torney. Among other men who act in an official capacity are L. P. Foster, who is in the hotel business; William Knight is a cotton merchant; B. F. Brown is an agriculturist; M. A. Sorrell is city justice and the Hon. M. J. Jones is a lawyer. Unjust Laws Tend to Bread Strife. The city council at Portsmouth, Va. is puzzling its brains in an attempt to form a segregation ordinance which will conform to the state law. The ordinance committee has finally referred the whole matter to Acting City Attorney R. Clifford Barclay and City Engineer Cassell. Such unjust laws only tend to breed strife between the white and colored people, which benefits neither. Work of Bishop College Praised. Much satisfaction is expressed concerning the work of Bishop college, in Marshall, Tex. The Baptist Home Mission society has stood by this institution for many years and is still its friend and great benefactor. MAN OF BROAD EXPERIENCE Professor R. T. Greener as Educator, Statesman and Race Benefactor One among the many men of national reputation who attracted special attention at the recent session of the National Negro Business league held in Chicago was the Hon. Richard T. Greener. Many of the younger men who have gained distinction in business and the professions were mere lads when Professor Greener was doing effective educational work as dean of the law school at Howard university in Washington. It was while in this position that Professor Greener counteracted the then prevailing discrimination against colored people by some of the leading life insurance companies upon the basis of assumed greater mortality risk than that which existed among individuals of other races. Professor Greener took the matter up with leading insurance companies, controverting and criticising these statements, and was able to bring about a change in the treatment of colored people in the offices of a number of the larger eastern life insurance companies. As a result some of the most important of them commenced to write life insurance on colored people in the District of Columbia on exactly the same terms as they did for other people. New Yorkers will especially remember Mr. Greener for the able and satisfactory service which he rendered as secretary of the Grant Monument association, of which he is one of the trustees. President Dickson of the Royal Casualty company in Chicago is fortunate in having a man of Professor Greener's experience and executive ability associated with him in a business capacity. AFRO-AMERICANS IN THE POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT. Where They Are Located and What Their Salaries Aggregate. There are 3,957 Afro-Americans serving the government in the postoffice department, whose annual salaries aggregate $1,009,907.

This is true of Jackson, Miss, and Clarksville, Tennessee. There are 417 Afro-Americans employees in the New York city postoffice, drawing annual salaries aggregating in round numbers $396,300. One hundred and seventy-three Afro-Americans employed in the St. Louis (Mo.) postoffice draw salaries aggregating $152,000 annually.

Miss, founded twenty-five years ago by Isaiah T. Montgomery, is the oldest and most successful municipality in the south founded and controlled exclusively by colored Americans. The next most successful and perhaps the largest town ruled by colored men is Boley. Okla. Mayor W. H. McLeed of Boley is a native of Tennessee, but has made Boley his home since 1907. In 1000 Mr. McLeed was elected mayor of the town of Boley, a position which he still holds. Mr. Montgomery was the first mayor of Mound Bayou. The Press and Business Enterprises. That the best of feeling should exist between the press, business concerns, secret and social society is self-ocident. Each should be a promoter of the other's interest, for therein lies mutual benefit. The National Negro Press association at its recent annual meeting voiced its sentiments in this direction by adopting strong resolutions calling for closer union between commercial enterprises and newspapers as essential to greater industrial progress. Two Necessary Elements to Success. In 1894 R. L. Houston of Fort Worth, Tex. was working as a porter on a salary of $2 per week. A few years ago Mr. Houston went into the undertaking business and now owns a block of houses in the business section of the town. He is highly respected by both colored and white citizens. He ascribes his success to economy and strict at- AN EDITOR'S STRUGGLES. How Charles Summer Smith Runs the Twin-City Star. If up through difficulties is the way to success Charles Summer, Smith founder and editor of the Twin City Star, Minneapolis, Minn. is an example worthy of imitation. With true ambition, energy and self reliance as his capital, Mr. Smith started his paper a year or so ago with odds against him. Located in a city and section of the country where the Afro-American population is small, it took courage to undertake to run a newspaper single handed. Unlike the Apostle Paul, who desired to be all things to all men, Mr. Smith has been all things to himself, editor, composer, proofreader, subscription agent, advertising agent, office boy and general manager. He tells a thrilling story of his struggles to give our people a clean, readable, progressive weekly paper in Minneapolis. The motto adopted by Mr. Smith for the Star is, "Free Voice of the Press." Under this banner he has fought the battles of the public against A. CHARLES SUMNER SMITH. gainsayers without fear or favor. But by honesty, and a fixed purpose to be a helper in the uplift of his race Mr. Smith has won public favor, and the Star still shines above the dark clouds, giving hope and inspiration to the race. Charles Sumner Smith is a native of Petersburg, Va. After completing the public school course he entered the Peabody high school, of which he is a graduate. His first newspaper experience was gained while connected with the Virginia Lancet. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war and gained official recognition as a volunteer yellow fever nurse. When asked to what forces he contributed his success. Mr. Smith replied, "Weeding the good advice of my parents, first, and second, in business to the advantages of the plate service of the American Press Association and especially the feature known as the Afro-American page, of which service I have the exclusive use in Minneapolis." Portsmouth, Va.—The annual session of the Lott Carey Foreign Mission Baptist convention, held here recently, revealed the fact that the association is doing a most important work in the moral, spiritual and educational uplift of the people in Africa. Reports submitted showed that the convention has collected and received in pledges $8,000 for the work the fiscal year. Rev. and Mrs. W. L. Thomas, who have been engaged in missionary and educational work in West Africa, told an interesting story of the work and conditions there. A committee was appointed to confer with leading railway officials, in regard to providing better accommodations on trains in the south. A plan for co-operation between the convention and the New England Baptist convention was agreed upon. Mrs. L. A. Hope, who has been president of the women's auxiliary for the past five years, retired, and Mrs. J. H. Randolph of Washington was elected in her stand. The next session will be held at the First Baptist church. Washington in August, 1913. The officers of the convention are: Professor C. S. Brown, Winston Salem, N. C. president, Rev W. J. Howard, Washington, Rev H. L. Barco, Virginia, vice presidents, Rev J. H Hughes, Norfolk, N. C. treasurer, A. W. Pegues, Raleigh, N. C., recording secretary, Rev W. M. Alexander, Baltimore, corresponding secretary, Rev W. T. Johnson, Richmond, Va., president of the executive board, and Nelson, Williams, Richmond, Va., secretary to the board. The officers of the women's auxiliary are: Mrs. J. H. Randolph, Washington, president; Mrs. J. E. Blackwell, Richmond, Va., treasurer; Mrs. A. L. McGinn, Baltimore, corresponding secretary; Miss M. E. Wilson, Keysville, Va., recording secretary; Mrs. P. G. Shepherd, Keysville, Va. chairman of the board of managers. From Blacksmith to Lumber Merchant. One of the most successful lumber merchants in Louisiana is C. B. Combs, who does a yearly net business of $10,900 and owns and cultivates a farm of 100 acres. Combs got his first experience in business by operating a black Lesson XI.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 15, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Matt, xi, 20-30, Memory Verses, 28, 30—Golden Text, Matt, xi, 28—Commentary, Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson is another step backward in the regular sequence of events, but it matters comparatively little, as he is the heart of every lesson, and the book is given to us that we may know God, who can be known only through Jesus Christ, as we shall see before we have finished the lesson. Our attention is caught first by the three references to His mighty works (verses 20, 21, 23), and we remember that He said on one occasion: "If I do not the works of My Father believe Me not. But if I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works, that ye may know and believe that the Father is in Me and I in Him" (John x. xi, 37, 38). In Israel's national anthem, which was written long ago and which they will sing when the kingdom comes, they will exhort one another to declare His doings, for He hath done excellent things (Isu. xi, 4). In their great peace they are repeatedly urged to talk of His wondrous works (Ps. lxxvii, 4; xcv. 2, 5; cv. 2). We should begin at creation and follow on through His dealings with Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Israel's deliverance from Egypt and all His subsequent dealings with them, then remember that He who did these mighty works in Choronax, Bethsaidai, Capernaum, is the same person whom we saw working from creation onward, who was born as the Son of Mary in Bethlehem, who whose goings forth have been from old, from the days of eternity (Mie. v. 2, margin). Mark His "I say unto you" (verses 22, 24) and remember that it is the same as the "thus sulth the Lord" of the Old Testament, and it stands to all eternity. He is speaking as the Judge when He talks of the future of Tyre and Sidon and Sodom and the day of judgment and says that it will be more tolerable for them than for the cities in which He did His mighty works, for the Father judges no unn, but both committed all judgment unto the Son (John v. 22). What this "more tolerable" may mean we cannot know certainly, but we do know that there are degrees in punishment, many stripes and few strikes, as there are also degrees in glory—every one punished or rewarded according to their doings (Rev. xxii, 12; Jer. xxii, 10). Salvation is the same for all and wholly of grace apart from any works of ours, but the rewards for the saved will be according to service, all who reject Christ are lost, but punishment will be according to desert. As to the day of judgment, it will cov, or a thousand years, saved people being judged for service at the judgment seat of Christ and the nations after that when the redeemed come with Christ in glory, both of those judgments at the beginning of the thousand years—the judgment of the great white throne for the rest of the dead at the end of the thousand years. The Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (I Pet. ii, 11, and one of His last command before His ascension was that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His pame among all nations (Luke xxiv, 47). Even after the church shall have been caught up, when the trumpets shall be sounded and the vials of wrath poured out, it will be order that man may repent (Rev. ix, 20, 21; xvi, 0, 11). The wisdom of this world cannot receive these or any other truths of God and is increasingly rejecting the whole word of God, and thus we learn that we are fast nearing the end of this ugly age and the dawn of a better one. Let us be glad to be the little children, the babes, who have love every word that our Heavenly Father has told us, and let us hot forget that the world by its wisdom whether in the pulpit or the new or the professor's chair, does not and cannot know God (I Cor. i. 21). It is better to know God than to possess the riches of wisdom or might of this world, but it requires true humility and poverty of spirit, and that the proud, rebellious carnal mind of man does not have and does not want (Jer. ix, 23, 24; Matt. v. 3; Jas. iv, 6). When we are able to say concerning all the words and works of God, all that He does or permits to be done, the words of verse 26 from the heart, "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Thy sight," we have reached, a place of real soul rest, a place where we can "abide satisfied." This was the rest of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father sent Him, and He lived by the Father, always pleasing the Father and delighting Himself in the Father's will. So He says to all those who labor and are heavy laden, "Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." The rest is in: Himself, not in His service nor His gifts. We must learn to sing from the heart, Jesus, I am resting, resting in the joy of what Thou art, He says, "My peace I give unto you." The love of the Father and the will of the Father were His rest and peace, and they may be ours too. Only the meek and lowly heart can enjoy His yoke and learn of Him, but to the antitual man this meekness and humility are utterly distasteful, for the natural man is under the control of the devil, and no knows nothing of meekness or WHAT IS YOUR LINE?
