THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXI NO. 46 WITH BISHOP JOHNSON IN SOUTH AFRICA The "Abanto Batho" Puts Quietus to Disconcerting Rumors A VERY INTERESTING TERVIEW How the A.M.E. Bishop to South Africa is Regerded by a From "Abanto Batho," organ of the native races of South Africa. So many unkind things have been said, and so many disquieting rumors are afloat about the doings of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, commonly known by the misnomer "Ethiopianism", that a representative of this paper, hearing of Bishop Johnson's presence at the Krugersdorp Native Location, where this church has a branch of its work, hurried thither to seek information from that divine who is the head of the A. M. E. Church in South Africa. It was in the early part of the day when our reporter called at the nice little house of the Rev. S. J. Mabote, the resident minister of the A. M. E. Church at Krugresdorp Location. The Bishop was seated in the latter's study, busy with his correspondence. Having been shown in, our representative was at once confronted with a grave middle-aged gentleman, rather tall, stately, well proportioned, charming and fascinating—it was the Rt. Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., of the A. M. E. Church. Our reporter was introduced to this personage by the Rev. S. J. Mabote. A warm and vigorous hand shake, a loud somewhat stentorian "Good morning," a smiling face and a cordial invitation to "sit down," all went to prove that the greeting was sincere and emanated from an open heart of a true christian gentleman. "A closer scrutiny of the man's features," writes our reporter, "reveals to one, not an African Negro of the West African type, but a full blooded Zulu of South Africa with this exception that the hair is rather curly although still bearing traces of its original wooliness." Finding some difficulty in explaining the object of his visit, our representative allowed the conversation between him and the Bishop to drift automatically into incidents at last year's conference at Bloemfontein: how a reporter of the "Evening Star" — either from curiosity or from motives that generally impel others of his ilk to prowl about seeking for fresh news or some new sensation—wended his way into the Conference Hall and suddenly found himself among men, not of his color or nationality, it is true, but, nevertheless men—not "boys"—in congress, seriously engaged in business. It was to him a novelty. Nor was this all. For next day, presumably through reading the report of the "Evening Star", the Mayor of Bloemfontein paid the Conference a visit. His manner also betrayed unexpected surprise. He might have gone there thinking only to find a motley crowd of poor, ill-clad haranguing natives. But, instead, he was confronted by orderly men, clean, well dressed and business-bent. To him the spectacle was an eye opener. He expressed himself as much. And this was not all. The following day a representative of the Bloemfontein "Friend" made a special call at the Conference. To use the Bishop's own words, "we had had meetings at Bloemfontein before, but never once had a 'Frienos' reporter put his foot there." At this stage our representative offered an apology for having trespassed on the Bishop's time. But being assured that such was not the case, he was not pressed for time, an opportunity was thus afforded to continue the conversation. "I understand, Bishop, you have, as a church, some big educational scheme under contemplation, which has engaged your attention for some time past, but does not seem to mature. Has the idea fizzled out?" "What do you mean?" he ejaculated with that wistful look that generally characterizes men of great thoughts and great things. "I mean," continued our reporter, "that there has been for some time a talk of establishing a high school or college at Evation, in the interests of the A. M. E. Church, but up to the present nothing has apparently been done." "Oh!!" Bishop Johnson has a peculiar way of answering questions bearing on a particular subject. He always makes his reply self conclusive, and never labors a point in search of a convincing proof to verify what he says. In answering the above question, he did not go into so many words. "Next Monday," he said, "I am going to the office of Mr. Thos. Douglas, the contractor, at Jeppestown, there to sign a contract for the erection of a large building—35 x 50 double story—at Evanon, which will serve as the Teachers' House. The other day I 'motored' down with him to examine the plan and specifications. I have the money ready to pay the contractor the day he hands me the keys of the building in question. So that, you see. Continued on page 6. Secretary Daniels Has Washington, July 11.—The plan of Secretary of the Navy Daniels is now being held in abeyance to have naval officers and the enlisted men eat together, following a kick on the account of colored men being in the Navy. The secretary had thought that the change would bridge social barriers until some of the officers played on his prejudices against the Nergo. Admiral Blue was among those to enter a protest with the secretary, who hails from North Carolina. "Mr. Secretary, as a Southern gentleman, would you be willing to sit at a table with a 'nigger,' inquired the admiral. "No sir. Under no circumstances would I sit at a table with a 'nigger' came the emphatic response. Seeing that he had nearly won his fight, the admiral won over his superior by saying: "Do you realize that a large number of our enlisted men are Negres, and that by your order you would not only be requiring the commissioned officers of the Navy to sit at table with them, but you would be putting yourself in a position where you could not logically refuse to do the same thing when you are on board ship." Bishop Hurst Entertains the Hatian Minister The Haitian minister to the United, States, M. Solon Menos; the secretary of the legatin, M. Hannibal Price, and Mrs. Price were the guests of Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst at their home, 1808 McCulloh street, yesterday. The distinguished visitors were taken an automobile tour around the city, and were shown other courtesies by their hosts. They left for Washington late yesterday afternoon, greatly pleased with their visit here. DEMOCRATS ARE STILL HOPEFUL Still Feel That They Will be Rewarded by the President for their Services BISHOP WALTERS SEES WILSON AND BRYAN The Waiting Has Been Long and Only Stalwarts Have Been Able to Hold Out (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Washington, July 11.—Notwithstanding the fact that Southern Democrats are still harping upon the Negro and that even some of the members of the Cabinet have shown that they have a deep seated prejudice against the race, the colored Democrats who labored so valiantly to aid in the election of Woodrow Wilson are still hopeful that some of their number will be given political preferment at the hands of the present administration. While a number of colored office holders, including Auditor of the Navy Tyler and Assistant Attorney General Lewis have had to walk the plank in order to make room for white Democrats, a few choice plums are yet held by colored Republicans. Bishop Walters visited the White House a few days ago, and again it is said, handed in a list of recommendations of colored Democrats who should be taken care of and he also had brief interview with Secretary of State Bryan. No colored appointments have been announced as yet, however. The Liberian mission, vacant since the death of Dr. W. D. Crum last December, is still dangling before the eyes of colored Democrats. The biggest plum, the Haitian portfolio, still awaits James D. Carr, some other colored Democrat, or some white man. Likewise other plums. Charles Barnes, who worked ardently for Wilson and held a job at the Capitol until he was bounced a few weeks ago, looks glum these days. His feeling is likewise shared by many who remember President Wilson's assuring letter to Bishop Walters last October, and who are trying to fathom its meaning with present conditions. The Southern white Democrat is in the saddle and he seems to be blocking the Negro at every turn. There are some optimists, however, who believe recognition is in sight. Soldiers Will Gather at Faneuil Hail Boston, Mass., July 11.—Faneuil Hall will reverberate with tales of the Civil War next Thursday, when the veterans who served with the 54th Massachusetts Regiment will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Fort Wagner. These soldiers performed gallant service in the war, and were at one time in command of Col. Robert Gould Shaw, who was killed at the battle of Fort Wagner. The 54th was the first colored troops organized in the free States. It especially distinguished itself in the battle of Fort Wagner. It was there that Sergeant William H. Carney planted the regimental flag on the works aftera desperate fight. Sergeant Wesley J. Eurlong, of Melrose, Mass., is chairman of the reunion committee. Society Woman Saves Little Colored Boy Pittsburg, July 9.—Mrs. Harry Coleman a member of the fashionable Country Club, of Edgewood, a suburb of this city, dived for fully 10 minutes in the foul water, of an old stone quarry near the club house in seeking to recover before life became extinct the body of Ahton Hayward, aged 18, colored, of North Braddock, who had been drowned. Only a blubbering little 6-year old boy, the brother of the drowned lad, was the spectator of he efforts. It was in response to his piteous appeal made to her while she was playing golf that she had dropped her clubs and raced across the links for a quater of a mile at his heels, divesting her apparel as she ran. An expert swimmer, she did not hesitate to dive in. The approach of men attracted by her running caused a cessation of her endeavors. The little boy held the men off until she dressed sufficiently to return to the club house. Are Hurrying Exposition Philadelphia, July 10.—The managers of the exposition, that will be held here in September to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, are hurrying the erection of a suitable building for the housing of the various exhibits. The State has appropriated $95,000 toward the project. The exposition commission is maintaining headquarters at 1352 Lombard street. The semi-annual session of the Sub-committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held here next week. Whites Out Negroes In St. Louis, Mo., July 11.— Nearly 500 colored waiters may secure employment in hotels and cafes here on account of the strike among union waiters at the Maryland Hotel and McTague's Cafe. Over 400 white waiters have already been discharged. Police have been picked about the hotels to see that no violence was done the colored waiters. Some of the white waiters are said to have secured as much as $150 a month, including tips. Dr. Bruce Out For Good Washington, July 10.— The Board of Education has turned a deaf ear to the plea of Dr. Wilson Bruce Evans for a formal hearing on the alleged charges for which he was dismissed as principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School. In a signed letter to a local newspaper, Dr. Evans says that the charges of "academic, pedagogic and administrative inefficiency" is a frame-up and that he welcomes a public hearing on any charges that may be laid at his door. Annual Session of B. Y. P. U. Savannah, Ga., July. —The National Baptist Young People's Union has been holding its annual session here since Tuesday, with delegates from all parts of the South in attendance. A varied and interesting program has been provided. 1st Separate Company in Camp Belair, Md., July 11.—The First Separate Company is here in camp with the rest of the State militia. Captain William R. Spencer has been complimented highly upon the general appearance of his men. First Lieutenant Henry Ryan, Jr., and Second Lieutenant Elmer. Morsell are receiving instructions from Major-Robert Alexander and Prof. Heintz, of the United States Army, in manual of the saber, setting up exercises, tactical walks and map sketching. Safe in Paris, Big Heavy Tells Newspaper Men How he Eluded the Policemen WILL NEVER AGAIN COME TO THE U. S. Says America Is No Place For Justice For The Colored Paris, July 1.—John Arthur Johnson and his white wife are in the city, after a tough trip from Montreal to Havre. He is accompanied by his wife and several servants. Three automobiles were shipped to London by another steamer. They brought along 22 trunks containing a ton of baggage. He says that he does not expect to return to the United States. After a visit to several hotels, quarters were found at last at the Terminal Hotel. Before reaching the last hotel, he stopped at the Grand Hotel, and heartily welcomed by the employees, all of whom remembered his liberality when here some months ago. After getting quarters, he received the newspaper men, to whom he described in detail his escape from Chicago. He says that he left that city with a colored baseball team, and that a good friend of his at Toronto arranged the rest. This friend met him at Hamilton and took him by automobile to Toronto. Jack Johnson declared that America is no place for the black man to get justice, asserted his innocence of the charge of white slavery. He has five volumes of the testimony in his case to support his testimony, he says. He says that should the next higher court decide against his appeal he will take the case to the United States Supreme Court. Johnson expects to open a health resort here, and may also fight some aspirants for the heavyweight championship. Preparing for a Large Throng According to reports that have been received by prominent members of local lodges of the Knights of Pythias a record-breaking crowd will be here to attend the biennial session of the Supreme Lodge in August. Grand Chancellor George A. Watty and his aides may be seen daily at the headquarters, 414-W. Hoffman street, straightening out the thousand and one details connected with the holding of the session in this city. They are making preparations for the entertainment of at least 20,000 visitors. The uniform rank expects to make a great showing at Camp Creswell, which will be located at Shadyside. The various lodges of the order in Maryland are now preparing for the annual session of the State Grand Lodge, which takes place at Cambridge, Md., week after next. This session is expected to be large attended. Strasbrug, Va., July 11. A special trustees' rally was held by tue Sunday School of Mt. Zion M. E. Church last Sunday. Rev. J. W. Galloway, of Woodstock, Va., preached in the morning. In the evening Children's Day services were held. Rev. R. D. Jennings is pastor off the church. Personnel of Exposition Committee Causes Trouble New York, July 11.—There seem so be considerable differences among colored people as to the personnel of the commission that will have charge of the arrangements for the celebration of the arrangement for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation, which will be held here in October. There is strong opposition in some quarters, it is claimed, to the chairmanship of Robert N. Wood, head of the United Colored Democracy. A fortnight ago, J. Henry Taylor was elected vice chairman, and other complications are said to have arisen, because they were some on the emmission who did not want to recognize Mr. Taylor as vice chairman. He has the backing of Governor Sulzer, however. Last week there appeared an interview in the Amsterdam News, credited to Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, which criticized Sumner H. Clark, who is to be director general of the affair. Now Mr. Lark has returned the blow by bringing suit for $5,000 damages alleging that Dr. DuBois libeled him. Pending the settlement of the dispute the State is withholding its appropriation of $250,00, and the commission will have to go to Albany next week to tell the governor all about it. New Jersey To Celebrate Atlantic City. N. J., July 11. The colored citizens of New Jersey are preparing to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the race by holding a small celebration on Young's Pier. The State appropriated $20,000 toward the project, stipulating that half be used in 1912 and the remainder in 1913. As none was used last year, $10,000 remained in the treasure of the State. Dr. Keys Buried The funeral of Dr. Morris H. Key, who died at his home in Kansas City on Thursday of last week, was held at Grace Presbyterian Church Thursday. Rev. Dr. W. E. Williams officiated, assisted by the Revs L. Z. Johnson, G. F. Bragg and E. Robert Bennett. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery. The pallbearers were Jacob Howard James W. Bright, Drs. H. S. McCard, E. J. Wheatley, H. E. Young and W. T. Carr, Jr.' Dr. Key's death was due to typhoid fever. His mother, Mrs. Catherine Key, of 1411 Druid Hill avenue, received word last week that he was ill, and just as his sister, Miss Mazie Key, was about to leave for Kansas City last Thursday a telegram came announcing his death. She went to Kansas City however, and with Dr. E.C. Burch, a close friend of the dead physician returned with the body. Dr. Key was born in this city 39 years ago. He was educated in the local public schools, Lincoln University and the Long Island Medical College. He spent a year as an interne at Howard University and also took post graduate work in Chicago. He practiced his profession in Kansas City for the 14 years preceding his death, and had built up a large clientele. He was a member of the Kansas City Medical Society and the Negro Business League of that city. Death of Mrs. Nelson Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, one of the oldest members of Bethel A. M. E. Church, died at her home, 617 Bradley street, Tuesday of last week. She is survived by her son, Henry S. Nelson; three grandaughters and several great grand children. Funeral services were held last Friday. Personnel of Commission Appointed by Governor William Sulzer Bepeaks Success For Coming Exhibition of Race Progress to Be Heid In New York In October. New York.—The commission appointed by Governor Sulzer of New York in accordance with the provisions of a law recently enacted in that state to provide for a fitting celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation is particularly fortunate in the quality of its personnel. The nine members of the commission have been drawn from among the most influential and representative colored men of the state, a fact which is particularly M. B. DR. W. E. BURGARDT DU BOIS. interesting as showing the white man's growing belief in the colored man's executive ability and capacity for organization. The chairman of the commission is Robert N. Wood, the recognized leader of the United Colored Democracy, whose influence with the present administration and legislature was in no small measure responsible for the successful issue of this and that other effort to secure equal opportunities for the colored man's social uplift in New York—the bill creating a colored regiment of militia. Mr. Wood is ably seconded by James D. Carr, assistant corporation counsel of the city of New York and a man whose scholarly attainments render him conspicuous among the leading men of the race. Dr. John R. Hillery of New York is the treasurer. Rev. W. A. Byrd of Rochester, N. Y., has been an important factor in the life of the city made famous for colored people as the home of Frederick Douglass and the location of a statue in his honored memory. The other members of the commission are Dr. W. E. R. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis; James H. Anderson of the Amsterdam News; J. Henry Taylor of the New York Pilot; Sumner H. Lark, editor of the Brooklyn Eye; Rev. George Sims, one of the most efficient and practical religious leaders in New York city, and John-B. Clayton, a business man of Brooklyn. These men have set their shoulders to a wheel that goes uphill, but they have the push that will bring them out on top, with only a small appropriation of $25,000 and three months in which to organize an exposition "to show the industrial, educational, and religious progress of the colored people since the emancipation proclamation." The scope of the exposition is not limited to New York, but will cover the progress of the race generally. For this reason persons in other states will be invited to take part. The commission seeks to make this exposition distinctly and impressively educational. There will be as little as possible of the country fair type of exposition. The commission rather stresses the conferences and congresses on the religious, economic and other important aspects of the problem of the advance of the race. A special feature of the exposition will be the series of pagenants illustrating historically the progress of the Negro from the remotest times, his migration to the new world, and so on down to and since his emancipation from slavery. In addition to this, special departments of art, literature, inventions, etc., will be placed in charge of competent persons well informed in their respective branches. The commission is to prepare a roll of honor of 200 ten, selected by their fellows as being really representative leaders of the race. The exposition will cover the last ten days of October, and three of these will be called respectively governor's day. Douglass day and Lincoln day. Brooklyn, Y, W. C. A.'s Good Work. The Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association has added 133 new members to its roll since the first week in May. The prize for bringing in the largest number by an individual was awarded to Mrs. Richard L. Jackson. Mrs. Alice W. Bery is chairman of the membership SOUTH IMPRESSES TYLER. Business League Organizer Says Race's Progress Greatly Inspires Him. Greenwood, Ala.—What I have seen in the way of material progress among the colored people on this my first trip into the south has been a revelation and an inspiration, said the former auditor for the navy department, Ralph W. Tyler, now national organizer for the National Negro Business league. I have been greatly impressed, contrary to my early teaching and belief, with the fact that for the average Negro the south offers the best assurance of steady employment unhampered by labor unions and that for the Negro above the average the south offers the best opportunity for the accumulation of wealth. It is true that race discrimination is overhealthy down here; that some rights are restricted and many privileges denied. I do not for a moment condone this restriction of rights or excuse this denial of privileges. Both constitute a blot on the pages of American history. However, I recall that in many of the boasted free cities of the north certain rights are but niggarly granted, many privileges are denied, labor is source for the Negro, and accumulation of wealth is practically a white man's monopoly. We enjoy some rights and a few privileges up there which our brothers in the south are denied. They enjoy a monopoly of labor and an unrestricted opportunity to accumulate wealth down here which we are denied in the north. In Macon county, through which I rode, I saw 61,000 acres of farm land owned in fee simple by Negroes. There being 23,000 Negroes in this county, this is an average of nearly three acres per capita. What wonderful progress in fifty years! What a quick advance from poverty to affluence! In the adjoining county of Tallapoosa I viewed 25,000 acres owned and under cultivation by Negroes—more than two acres per capita for Tallapoosa county. I saw stores in this black belt for size, largeness and quality of stock the Negroes of no northern city can equal. I have frequently heard of individual Negroes who were reputed to own a thousand acres of land or more, but I regarded such statements, with the usual northern pessimistic appraisement, as but a myth—as the funestal creation of the wrongly accused "apologist." On this eighty mile automobile trip I actually met and talked with at least five Negroes—Warren Logan, C. J. Calloway, A. I. Wilborn, E. H. Gamin and one other whose name has slipped me—each of whom owned a thousand or more acres of rich farm land, with many acres of cotton, corn and grain. As I looked upon the scene I thought of thousands of my race in the north with greater privileges but less land and fewer houses, and I regretfully, almost reproachfully, recalled the lines, "Leon bath a thousand acres, not a penny 1." I was in four stores owned by Negroes in this belt, two of which had upon their shelves not less than $5,000 and $8,000 worth of stock. And I was greatly impressed with the race loyalty existing down here, with the almost clannish spirit which impels Negroes to go long distances just in order to patronize Negro merchants. In Macon county A. J. Wilborn owns a two story brick building, in which located his store with its grocery and notion stock that will approximate $5,000. E. H. Gumlin, in the same county, but about two miles removed, owns a store equal in size, carrying a stock of fully $5,000 valuation, ranging all the way from a hairpin and a pound of salt to footwear, bedwear and dainty lingerie for women. In both of these stores the stock is paid for, the pretty modern, commodious homes of the proprietors standing near rest under no mortgage, and beyond the little towns in which they live and do business a thousand acres of crop filled land bring in a splendid revenue. SAMUEL COLERIDGE-TAYLOR. Friends of Composer of International Fame Honor His Memory. According to the London Evening Standard, a stone has been erected at Bandon Hill cemetery, Croydon, over the grave of Mr. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the world famed Anglo-African composer, with the following inscription, written by Mr. Alfred Noyes: "In memory of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who died, on Sept. 1, 1912, at the age of thirty-seven, bequeathing to the world a heritage of an undying beauty. His music lives. It was his own and drawn from vital fountains. It pulsed with his own life, but now it is his immortality. He lives while music lives. Too young to die, his great simplicity, his happy courage in an alien world, his gentleness, made all that knew him love him. "Sleep, crowned with fame, fearless of change or time. Sleep, like remembered music in the soul. Silent, immortal, while our discords climb To that great chord which shall resolve the whole. Silent, with Mozart, on that solenium shore; Secure, with neither wavers nor hearts beyond her heart. can break, Sleep till the Master of the world once more. Touch the remembered strings and bid thee wake. High Honor For Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. The Silver Aid association in Pittsburgh is an organization of wives of ministers and has for its object mutual help to its members and the cultivation of social friendliness. At a recent meeting the association decided to read as a study the works of Dr. W. E. Burgardt Du Bois, editor of the Crisis Magazine and director of the bureau of publicity for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER BUSINESS PUSH IN BALTIMORE RESULTS OF CO-OPERATION Undue Discrimination Against Afro-Americans, Together With the Increased Economic Progress of the Race, Creates Demand For First Class Accommodation For the Public. Baltimore. — Recognizing the fact that the overwhelming majority of hotels and restaurants in every section of the United States will not give the Afro-American traveling public any accommodations whatever and that there is a demand from the race for such first class accommodations, a few Afro-Americans here with means and courage are attempting to meet this necessity. Here and there around the country are places a traveler may stay for a brief period and find the best of surroundings as well as service. Baltimore is probably the one community that stands in the forefront in this regard. It has several hostelries run by the race, and each has been built within the past six years to accommodate the needs of the local and traveling public. The most recent of these places is one owned and run by Thomas R. and Wallace L. Smith on Druid Hill avenue, in this city, right in the vicinity of the best colored residential section. Natives of the city and still in their early forties, the Messrs. Smith conducted separate establishments for the ten years previous to the past spring, when they decided to combine. The result is the property of Wallace L. Smith and the adjoining property were improved at a cost of $22,000. When the place was thrown open to the public in October, 1912, patrons were greeted by what is said to be the finest place of its kind east of the Miss- HOTEL SMITH'S HOTEL sissippi river. Since its opening some of the most prominent men of the race visiting here have been guests, and each has been lavish in his praise of the excellent service. Smith's hotel has a frontage of forty-nine feet on Druid Hill avenue and extends back ninety-nine feet to a small street. It has seventeen separate bedrooms, a large dining room, kitchen, ladies' parlor, lobby for men, ruthskeller, numerous baths and one of the handsomest buffets in the country, fitted with electric lights, beautifully decorated walls and a tiled floor. Prompt and polite service greets the patrons, and they are numbered by the thousands in course of a month. As Thomas Smith expresses it: "The public is entitled to first class hotel accommodations in an atmosphere where a man need not be afraid to take his family, and we have tried to give the public what has long been desired. Inferior accommodations in bad surroundings will no longer be tolerated, and you must give the public that which they are able to pay for." A few weeks ago the proprietors of this establishment were tendered a complimentary reception by leading citizens. Men in all walks of life attended, including prominent personages from other cities. The toasts were one continual round of praise for the men whose enterprise had given to Maryland what is probably the finest hotel owned absolutely and conducted by men of the race. Several of the speakers also referred to the fact that every dollar of the cost of the improvements had been paid. Thomas R. Smith is a member of the Knights of Pythias, and Wallace L. Smith is a member of the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities. Odd Fellows Start Financial-Campaign The Odd Fellows' Hall association in Pittsburgh has commenced a big financial campaign for the purpose of raising $3,000 to pay off the second mortgage on its property due early in November. The fraternity membership has been quartered off in groups. Each individual member is pledged to raise a certain amount. The households of the order have pledged their re-operation, and the movement is being pushed with vigor and enthusiasm. Among the members of the campaign committee who are directing the force of workers are Samuel A. Dobbins, James S. Patton and John P. Hayden. Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary Press. Moses Barrows was a well off farmer living on the outskirts of the village of Hartsville. One day as Farmer Barrows sat on his veranda smoking his pipe a stranger driving a horse and buggy came along. Just opposite the house the horse suddenly halted and refused to go on. "Seems to be trouble here," said Moses as he walked down to the gate. "I should say there was" exclaimed the stranger. "Consarn his pesky hide, but if you'll lend me an ax I'll cave his head in." "Had him long, stranger?" was asked, "About three weeks, and this is the third time he has balked on me. Say, now" "Purty good lookin' boss," said Farmer Barrows after he had looked him over. "Where'd you get him?" "Traded with a feller." "Mebbe we can swop. I've got a hoss that"— "Then trot him out. I'll trade you even up for anything with hide and hoofs." The exchange was made without further words, and the stranger drove off. Farmer Barrows had said that there was a cause for a horse balking. It is generally understood that it is in his training. The new owner began to practice a system of kindness. The horse did not get a harsh word and was asked to do only light work. In the course of a couple of weeks his sullenness had quite vanished, and he was hitched to a buggy to be driven to town. He took about twenty-eight steps and then stopped. He expected to hear swearing and to feel the whip, but nothing of the sort followed. He was given a lump of sugar and patted on the back as a reward of merit. The next day he was hitched up again. This time he took a hundred steps before talking. No swearing nor whipping. More sugar and more petting. Farmer Barrows even sung the first verse of the "Sweet By and By" into his left ear. So it went every day for a week, and the farmer then said to his wife: "That hoss is all right now and will give no more trouble." "I hope not." "I have always contended that kindness would do it, and here's a plain case of it. I shan't have a mite of trouble driving to town and back." On the road to the village and half a mile from Farmer Barrows' house the highway crossed a swamp by a narrow corduroy road. Only one vehicle could pass at a time for a distance of forty rods. The new horse ambled along as if it were a joy to live until he reached the middle of the causeway, and then he stopped as suddenly as if hit by a bullet. "By thunder!" exclaimed Farmer Barrows. He gave the horse five minutes and then asked him to please go on. No use. Then he descended and gave the animal a lump of sugar and toyed with his ear and asked him as a personal favor to resume his amble. Not a resume; not an amble. Travelers came up and stopped at either end of the blocked highway and called out: "Say, you, what in thunder is the matter?" "Horse has balked on me." Farmer Barrows used the whip lightly, epologizing to the horse at the same time. No good. He moved his cont and vest, spat on his hands and was preparing to give that horse the licking of his life when the parson of his church drove up with: "Hello, Brother Barrows. What's the matter?" "It's this infernal horse! He balked with me!" The parson got down and gave the new horse a looking over and said: "Brother Barrows, you've got a sulky at home, haven't you?" "Yes." "Come on back and hitch that horse to the sulky. I think I know what alls him." "Can't I kill him first?" "No—come right along." "You'll never get him ten feet." The parson mounted the sulky as if he had been there before, and the horse cheerfully started off at a good trot. A traveler came along with a good trotter and attempted to pass, but was left in the dust in great shape. The parson overtook two or three well known steppers and beat them to it handsomely. "Well, how many times did he balk on you?" the farmer asked as the rig came back. "Brother Barrows, you are a good man, but you have no eye for horses." smiled the parson. "How do you mean?" "You've been treating this animal as if he were a plug of a horse and thereby humiliating him." "But I don't be a pilgrim. "My dear brother, he can go a mile in 2:30 this very day." "You—you mean"— The parson nodded his head. "But I'm a church member and can't even go to races." The parson advanced and laid a hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Horse racing is very, very wicked, Brother Barrows, unless—your nag comes in ahead!"

MONGHT IN THE FAR. WEST Greeted by Maity'Frierids— Witnesses a’ Race Riot . —Meets the Tissis-. sippi Lion St. Louis, Mo.—Itis a .good thing to be living at. this time _ Qf course 1 do not need to tell you hat the lion from Mississippi has soared. Have you ever seen a Mississippi lion? Hehas a long head, long ears and a tail that looks jike a rope. In Mexico they call them borroughs, but in Mississippi they are lions, Well the one in : Mississippi has declared some of the things he is going todo, and we shail only look, wait and abide results. Ido not want you to think Iam calling Senator Vardaman a lion, for he is a Christian gentleman (?) full of love and other good traits. He is us good and kind as the devil himself, and in my opinion one of the greatest men in the world. He is in love with our race, and is - going to see to it that we are cared for in this country: But now there is another man in the Senate,and [ am talking about him. The man says that he is going to make Nim Crowism all over the country, The man who is going to prevent my people from holding any kind of office, and is going to deprive them of the ballot. That’s the man Lam talking about. 1 did not. learn his name, but if you know it send it along to me and I will tell the others about him. He isa true representative of the place where the bad people go when they die.~ Some of our big men said let us aurn things over to. the ‘‘Demo- crats,’”’ and they have turned them aver, and 1 think we will fell it before we are through with it this year and will have none to blame but ourseif.. 1 am not prepared to say word about President Wilson and his treatment of us, because he has been one of the best in mutes the eountry. He knows how to keep hig mouth closed andl think-he has not learned the sign language, put he is just sawing wood and saying nothing. 1 know we have held just a few positions in this country and we have lost some of them and a white man. has been put in them, and nothing has been said. Thad nothing from the Demo- rats,hence had nothing to lose from the Repubdicans. [am just a hard working man full of the Holy Gost and that’s all. 1 was in Kansas City when I took up my pen to write you the other lettert to inform you of my health and 1 am in St. Louis today I have been scared: into fits since I wrote that letter. Now and then things happen, and I tind things to make me shout. and 1 shout when it is necessary, and then I find things that almost made me lay my reli- gion on the shelf for a few minutes andsay things that would cause me to, lose my standing in. the ehruch. [left Kansas City for this place, reaching here in the afternoon, 1 went direct to the home of Rev. W Sampson Brooks, and that man re- ceived me just like he was receiv- ing his lost brother. He made so much overcome, and almost. kissed me, but then that would never do. “Come right in Colonel Mid- night,’’ he said ‘'and be at home I will soon have supger ready for you, or at least my butler will.”’ I walked in, had supper and then went out to see friends. Tcalled on Miss odessa Stevens, who is a teacher in Texas, and she had had some letters for me. People had sent my mail to her home, and she handed it-to me, Next found me on a street wagon going to the home of Mrs. Charles Tonsall.. She also made .me wel- come, But. she was.not at home. [ the' fixing business too. ‘This was the result. a ; We got on a street wagon, guarded by many police,.and they thought We were safe, and the police went. on to. the podrhouse -or. some where they stay. I: have never learned the name of the police but since. they are *‘pcorless’”” they must stay in'the peor house. © But them white boys got in one of them big uoghter-more-beels and started after that street wagon. The boys got off at Jefferson street, and when they stepped off them «white boys ‘were right there and the excite- Toent started. I wish you could have seen them black boys taking caretof themselves.“They used razor knives, and it being in our neigh- borhood ,the other boys who were playing biilard, took fhe biliard bats and some came with chairs, and some with other instrumerits of war. ‘Then they. turned a riot call, and the pocrlees came “wiht a gat~ ling gun and other things, and the crowd soon scattered. There were on the corner in less time than it has required me to tell it a thous- aad people. Now if they start it again,the dveil will be busy receiv- ing people. Well, then the next morning | got bright and early had break- fast_ with Dr. Brooks, and started for Nashville. I got so scared until I telegraphed Rev. Henry. Allen Boyd to bring his horse and buggy to meet me, but he did not bring it. Igot to Nashville and went right on out to the home of Bishop Tyree and found him_ sitting cut on his big porch waiting for me. Bishop Tyree is spending a few days at home, and will soon be out. on his work. Well, soon | was in a big tub at his home, and then went to bed and slept like a log un- til the morning and went out to see the town. The National Baptist Pubishing Board. was visited. They were at prayers when I got there. You see they stop business every day to have prayer, song and scripture reading. This: is the duty they claim they owe to God and they say: this bas much to do with their present success. Well they just prayed and thenreturned to work. T made a few scattering remarks to them. . Then | had a talk with Dr, R. H. Boyd the secretary, talked a little with Henry Allen Boyd the assist- ant secretary, and then I turned away.from them, went through the plant I will not have time to teil you about it. Had dinner with theéa and Henry Allen Boyd supplied me with a limited amont of lemonade. Now then, on to the St. Louis, and 1 am spending a little time with Dr. Brooks, but will leave al- most with this letter. My time is now up. Dr. Brooks is doing some work bere, and ke is just working his way right into the bishopric, for the A.M .E Chureh will recognize men of worth and men who have done some thing. It has always promoted such men and will continue to do so. Rev. Brooks has undertaken to pay off an indebtedness of $140- 00 in less than two years, and it looks as if he is going to do it. The first vear he raised $5,000 or some- thing like that, and just: a few days ago he caised $7,541.85, and now he is going to raise $2,000 Sunday which will settle the debt and he will be here two years in the fall. I-wish you-could see the letters that have poured in congratulating him, He is Zjust the man for the place. Some of the other churches are now reaching out for him. Well he hasbeen trained around Baltimore, and this has much to do with his success, © I think I have about said enough for this week, and you will please pardon me if I do not say any more, Tam not through but will have.to stop.

If John Bull would just allow a few of those militant suffragettes to carry out their plan of starvation, the and would soon come. --- If burning seven hundred people up at one time is one of the principals of Christianity as practiced by the conquerers of Turkey, then it seem to us that it were better that the Turks were left in control. Brother West must be sitting up nights to study plans of segregation. His latest in this line is an effort to divide Druid Hill Park up in sections for black and white. Brother West has our sympathy. BATING THE NEGRO Were it not for the fact that there is such a splendid opportunity to get in the lime light by baiting the Negro, mighty few of those who are now so prominent in the southern States would have ever been heard of. Whenever a white southerner wishes to become prominent the immediately advocates some measure of baiting the poor Negro. He gets his name in the papers and at once, in a way, becomes famous. Take for instance our Brother West, a member of the City Council and incidently holding down a job in the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Until he began his segregation movement he was not known outside of his immediately connected acquaintanceship. On account of his activity he managed to get his name in the daily papers, and then his picture. He was then heralded far and wide as the apostle of segregation, and consequently became famous. Well, there is recorded in history a number of other folks who for various reasons became famous. Nero for instance. And then there was a man by the name of Anianas, and if we mistake not a man by the name of Judas, and one Herod, and one Pilate. But why enumerate? Let us stop here. WANTS THE HIGH SCHOOL CHANGED And now Mr. Biggs want the High School changed, so as to provide servants for white folks. My dear Mr. Biggs, servants there always will be, as there have, always been servants, so why worry about that. Do you not know that no city or state educates boys and girls especially to be servants? If you do not know it you ought to find out about it. Moreover, if we are going to educate colored children only for servants, then why not abolish the High school altogether? It is not necessary. But why argue with such men? It is a waste of time. Men of the stamp of Biggs have no more business on an educational board than they have in heaven and men as narrow as he will never see the spires much less get into the heavenly place. Hardly a week passes but the colored people of this city are disgraced by a disorderly crowd following a parade of some kind. It does seem to us that the police department of this city have authority enough to put a stop to this kind of thing. It is not only a disgrace to the colored people themselves, but an actual disgrace to the city. We have seen and heard of numerous arrests made for a great deal less than much of the conduct we have seen on the part of those who make a practice of following parades and if it can be done in larger and more provoking cases. Will the police department look after this matter? If they will it will give considerable satisfaction to the better thinking class of colored folks. THE KNOCKER Really we are not prepared to say just what position the knocker really occupies in a community. Sometimes we think he ought to be sat upon and sat upon hard, and again the thought come to us that nothing in this world waisted, and perhaps after all the knocker has a place and fills it well. Baltimore is either cursed or blessed with any number of his kind, and there is not an effort put forth in the community for the good of the community but he has his little hatchet out and is knocking away with all his little power. As a matter of fact he is nuisance, and in some way or other ought to be put down and out, but just by what method has never yet been determined. It matters not how good the cause, or how strenuous the effort he is there to put the quietus upon it, if it is possible for him to do so. The splendid effort by the Citizens Committee to aid Provident Hospital, and it was a splendid effort, could not be allowed to pass but the knocker was there in all his glory and did his best, and not only before but after to hinder the progress of this effort for this very needy institution. And it is the same way with almost every effort for the good and welfare of the community. But after all, the knocker may have a place, for the harder he knock the harder and more determined the people are to overcome his knocking and to make success of their efforts. Perhaps the knocker has a stimulating effect, and thus aids instead of hindering, altho at first it does not always appear. However, that may be we have the nuisance with us and the only thing to do is to squelch him whenever the opportunity affords. There is a little paper Whose columns are complete Published in this city And sold upon its streets. Confined to no particular place For everywhere it roams In towns and every hamlet Invading every home. THE AFRO AMERICAN LEDGER THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Does Not Like Their Attitude Mr. Editor— There appeared in the columns of the Afro-American Ledger of last week a resolution passed by the members of Union Baptist Church stating that that church would in the future refrain from aiding any charitable institution which countenanced the giving of "balls, dances," etc., for their aid. It is not our intention to invite a controversy with the membership of Union Baptist Church, but it does seem that in taking such a radical stand in reference to our secular charitable institutions, they are not only doing the institutions an irreparable injury, but are taking a very narrow view of the matter. I do not need to make an apology for the dances that have been given from time to time for our charitable institutions. They have, for the most part, been conducted by men and women who have given unsefishly of their time and money in order that these institutions might live—men and women whose character and lives are above reproach—and for any person or set of persons to say they are "aleniating and leading astray weak and unstable Christians" is to do them an injustice that cannot be passed without comment. Our charitable institutions cannot live by the contributions that are received from the various churches, for the simple reason that most of the churches are so involved with their own financial difficulties that their contributions to other activities must of necessity, be small, and it becomes necessary that other means be devised to raise money to carry on their work, hence, the "dances, balls and other social entertainments If the members of Union Baptist Church are opposed to the present method of raising funds for these institutions, why not suggest some other way that the same amount of money may be raised, rather than standing afar off, assuming the "Holier than thou" attitude. Our chrritable institutions must live and they cannot live on air. It takes dollars, and a lot of them to keep them breathing, and if men and women who are giving their time and energy to build up institutions that will be a credit to the race, can realize a few dollars here and there, by properly conducted, well supervised "dances, balls and other social entertainments" why discourage them? Why throw cold water on their efforts unless you have some other way more in keeping with your own ideas of propriety, to substitute that will be just as efficacious. But above all things do not lesson your interests in charitable institutions simply because you do not approve of other methods of raising money. Fight your battles in the ranks and not on the side lines: 'Judge not, brothers. A Little Previous There is no more worthy an enterprises of its kind, and character than the Provident Hospital. And it should be most generously supported by all of our people; and solely in the interest of a larger and more general support of a hospital of its kind, is why I am sending forth this brief note. Some time during the past month of May, the authorities of this city were kind enough to loan the old Fifth Regiment Armory over the Richmond market, for a reception and ball, given on behalf of the above mentioned institution. And on the first of the present month after extended preparation for some time, quite a number-of our reputable citizens gave a public performance at one of our large theatres, which I understand was well patronized, for the benefit of this same Institution. I want to suggest to the management of both of these affairs, that they promptly, and in detail make a report to the public, through our race newspapers, stating carefully, just what Provident Hospital realized from each of these efforts, as well as the cost and expenses in getting up each affair. There is absolutely nothing which will contribute more to inspire the great body of our people to help such a worthy cause, and similar ones in the future, than a business like report of the above affairs. Showing just what was realized. And the genuine self sacrifices made by those who took a part, as well as those who gave their time and talent for the promotion of such a laudable object. Mr. Melvin J. Chisum has returned from a few days' stay in Salisbury, Md. ABOUT HER SISTERS Adjutant G. N. Roberts, has been commissioned to take charge of the work of the Salvation Army among the colored people of the South. He enjoys the distinction of being head of the first colored brigade. To the Afro-American: Allow me to say through the columns of your paper a word about the Anti-Saloon League Movement and especially its educational feature among the colored people of the state, as it is being conducted by the colored department. It will be of interest to the reading public to know that we have visited six counties on the Eastern Shore since the first of June, touching Chestertown, Cambridge, St. Michaels, McDaniel, Eastern Centerville, Denton and Sailsbury. At each of these places the people were eager to hear the presentation of the claims his movement has upon their interest. It goes without saying that in this section as in other parts of the state the people have but a vague conception of the direct the Anti Saloon League is seeking to achieve. Most of them understand the temperance movement as such, but the specific Anti-Saloon League Movement is rather vaguely understood. A large percentage of the voters to whom we appeal find themselves in accord with our proposition, and to our delightful surprise announcement to their intention to support for the next legislature, the candidates behind whom the Anti Saloon League shall stand. The fact that we do not appeal to men to leave their party affiliations, but rather that they should insist upon the men representing their various parties and who seek to be elected to office by their suffrage, that these candidates must be straight on the liquor question. Our slogan for the Christian voter is no ticket is straight except that ticket from which crooked men have been scratched. Colored men in larger numbers than ever before in the history of our voting are demanding that their suffrage shall represent their feelings, their sentiments upon public questions. The legalized saloon problem does not hamper the Eastern Shore, but the "speakacy," the "blind pig" and the "blind tiger" system is nowhere so formable a foe to the development of the best morals than is found here in these dry counties. Bad Negro men and Negro women make themselves the agents through whom the whiskey dealers violate the law, debauch the youth, and ruin the people. The Eastern Shore preachers, while they are not at one in the project of fighting these evils are more united in the concerted effort to drive away these nefarious practices. It is being revealed more and more that if the Negro can be kept from the influence of the liquor traffic his future as a citizen, as a man, and as a christian is assured. The good thing about the Eastern Shore is that they read the Afro-American and every where speak of it as the mouth piece of the best thinking and able minded Nergoes of the state. It is easily their choice of the publications among us and if I am asked about any paper it is usually the Afro-American. I take pride in mentioning this fact because the Afro-American stands for race development, for race sobriety and with the Anti-Saloon League in its fight against the liquor traffic. D. DeWitt Turpeau, Supt. Colored Dep't. Citizens' Committee Too much praise cannot be given the Citizens' Committee which conceived and carried out so excellently the monster benefit for the enlargement of the facilities and usefulness of Provident Hospital. The large outpouring of our citizens was full demonstration of their wil ingness to support such a worthy and necessary institution in our community. This effort means much and indicates many things. It means that there is among us a young, vigorous element ready and willing to devote time, talent and The donation of Ford's Opera House means that there are among our white citizens; and friends, those who will willingly help us—if we but help ourselves. It means that such worthy effrots will meet popular favor and support. It is to be hoped that this Committee composed as it is of some of our brightest and best young men will, encouraged by their success, continue the good work along this line and in other ways help swell a fund of such proportions as will assure a hospital among us second to none among our people in this country. These efforts will in the long run bring that confidence which will be followed by adequate City and State appropriations to which will be added substantial donations from wealthy friends. I cannot be too fulsome in my praise for each and everyone of the artists who so generously donated their splendid talents to make this affair the success it was. I know none of them will be offended when we say that we were especially proud of "our own" Mme. Abbie Mitchell whose successful career has always been a source of pride to "the folks in the old home town"—and who on Tuesday so well measured up to the enviable record which is her's throughout the land. Harry S. Cummings. The Political Situation Mr. Editor— I, called your attention a few days ago to the political condition in Baltimore City and State of Maryland and in a concise way gave insolution. In order that we may be victorious we should destrone the Democratic ring and stop them from running our city and state, like a man running a pool room. Let the Republicans, Progressive and Independents all join together and nominate a city and state ticket and unite our forces and elect a candidate. Since we have had the right of franchise in Baltimore eighty five or ninety per cent of the colored voters voted the Republican ticket. At the election last year sixty-five per cent or seventy per cent voted the Progressive ticket, which Colonel Roosevelt headed. When the Republicans win and you ask for some consideration for the race, they tell you it will hurt the party and drive the independent votes away. Could the present governor have been elected without the votes of the Colored citizens? Notwithstanding this fact he and all of the officeseekers forget we are voters until they need our votes to land them in office. All you hear in the city is "get together" "Come back home" and that home is the Republican Party. That party did some good during its existence and lots of things that would have helped us as a race they committed doing. One thing they have failed to consider us in is that, in our State they have never been willing to give us a candidate on the legislative ticket. Now let us get together and nominate a man of our race in three or four districts for the legislature whether he could be elected or not. We are tax payers and know the needs of our race better than any one else. I have no desire to be a candidate but if my people will pick out a good man, I will do all I can to nominate him and work for his election. A Grave Mistake It seems to me a mistreatment, misprint or something is the case concerning your reference to Mrs. Maggie L. Walker's address before the Women's Club. Convention in Portsmouth, Va. She said that "the poor washerwomen, earning from fifty cents to a dollar a day have to pay $18 a month rent for three rooms on a dump ground etc." Now, Mr. Editor, I do like the truth. I believe in truth. To my mind there is a mistake. There is much discrimination to ward us in the South. We are jim crowed, segregated and disfranchised. But nevertheless I believe the right course for us to pursue is a simple trust in God, and by so doing we are compelled to present things as they are. No washerwomen in Richmond pay $18 per month rent for unfurnished three rooms. Desiring light on the matter I A Subscriber, Charottesville, Va. LATE LITERARY NOTES We have received and read with a great deal of profit as well as interest, the address of Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, of the A. E. Church, to the graduating class of Wilerforce University, at its fiftieth commencement, June 19, entitled "The Noachian Curse." We think Bishop Smith makes his case a very clear one, and from an anthropologic standpoint, if from no other, the address is well worth reading. It fully disposes of the "Curse" Noah was supposed to have placed upon Canaan, at least as far as it concerns the Americo-Hamite, as Bishop Smith is disposed to call, what we are generally pleased to term the Negros or Afro-American.

Junius Gray, pastor of the Psalmist Baptist Church. Rev. Mr. Reed quoted the 14th chapter of Revelation and the 13th verse. He said, in part, he would speak of what he knew of her life as a Christian lady and a loving mother since he had known her some thirty years. She was a loving neighbor. It was never too hot or too cold for her to be found at her post in the church and that she was the kind of Christian that was needed today and the one that would be greatly missed; and Sister Lawrence had left a lasting thought in his heart that would live on. He said that, she was a great monument. She leaves six children and four grandchildren to mourn their loss. Interment in Mt. Auburn Cemetery.

WITH BISHOP JOHNSON IN SOUTH AFRICA Continued from 1st Page I have not to go from door to door bugging for money to settle when the times comes. It is there. al- ready waiting." "The work, then, is to be pro- ceeded with at once?" queried our reporter. "We are having our conference this year at Nancefield," rejoined the Bishop. "On the 15th day of October next the house will have been completed and it is my intention to take all the members of the conference on that day down to Evaton to see for themselves what we are really doing. The present building is only a beginning. Later a much larger one will be erected, and will serve as a schoolroom with several classrooms. When completed, the whole thing will cost between 3,000 and 4,000 pounds." At the Bishpo's invitation our representative proceeded to Jeppestown to see the plan and specifications of the proposed Teachers' House at Evaton. The building promises to be a fine structure. With an open frontage, several feet wide, a large 8 ft. wide veranda and balcony, six large rooms and two bedrooms on the ground floor, six dormitories and bathroom, also lecture hall on the first floor, and complete fittings for water supply, it should give every satisfaction and comfort to those for whom it is intended. We are satisfied that the A. M. E. Church means business. And with such an energetic man as Bishop Johnson at the head of affairs, who can doubt its ultimate success? There is just now talk of the establishment of a Native Church. It is not unreasonable to state that the A. M. E. Church is destined to play an important part when that contingency happens. If the white people of South Africa have failed to be true to their trust—that of civilizing, in a proper sense the native races—if the white missionaries of the present day have descended from the high ideals of Christian fellowship laid down by the great Master—the head of our religion—then, it is time for us, natives of this land to raise the Macedonian cry, and summon our kinsfolk from America—our own kith and kin—to come over and help us. Help us morally, by precept and example, to fully grasp the true meaning of Christian fellowship, of Christian principles, of Christian charity; help us educationally to get the right thing to improve our lot in this life and understand its true value, to cultivate those habits without which a man ceases to claim consideration to acquire skilful discrimination, in matters conducive to our general welfare. —Christian Recorder.

FRADULENT CURES FOR CONSUMPTION Within the last five years,no less than 500 fraudulent"curres"for consumption have been tried upon thousands of victims in the United States, and the exploiters of these nostrums have reaped a clear profit of not less than $500,000,00. This an estimates made by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in a bulletin issued today. The National Association estimates that not less than $20,000,000 is invested in the business of manufacturing and exploiting fake cures for tuberculosis, and that the annual income from these concerns and individuals is $15,0000,00. About one third of this amount is spent for advertising, leaving a profit of $10,000,000 a year, which is "blood money" taken from ignorant consumptives. Three kinds of consumption cure frauds are distinguished by the Association the first being the "institute" fraud, where a pseudo-hospital or dispensary is established and the wily "doctor" or "professor" administers treatments at so much per head. These concerns also carry on a mail order business with great profit. The second group of cures contains over a hundred different kinds of drugs and patent" devices, any of which may be purchased at a drug store. Usually the consumptive is charged from $1.00 to $5.00 for these and the institute "cures," when he could make them up himself in exactly the same form for from one to five cents. The third group of "cures" includes home-made remedies, which certain self deluded individuals believe will cure tuberculosis. Among them are such things as onions, lemons, coal smoke, pig's blood, alcohol, dog oil, teas of various kinds, and a variety of diets, including-goat's meat, clabbered milk and a score of other articles. These are not usually advertised for profit, but are usually given publicity in varicus, ways. The consumptive is the most hopeful individual in existence when the question of a cure is suggested. The National Association has stated that no specific cure for tuberculosis has been discovered, expect the well-tried hygienic-dietetic method of fresh air, rest and good food. Colored Voters Will That there will be some opposition among colored voters to Sheriff Theodore Weis should he run for clerk of Circuit Court No. 2 is indicated by the adverse comment made by several leading men of the race. Mr. Weis left the Republican party last summer to follow the standard of the Progressives. He has recently returned to the fold however. Opposition to his candidacy is mainly based upon his refusal to name a colored man for deputy sheriff after he had been repeatedly asked to so do. He may also have opposition from some of the influential friends of Colector Stone. Rev. Dr. W.M. Alexander, who worked ardently to aid Mr. Weis' election as sheriff, says that he will not support him for court clerk. "I am strongly opposed to the candidacy of Mr. Weis," he said. "The colored voters of the city and particularly of the fourteenth ward, worked hard for Mr. Weis, an helped to bring about his election. He was urged after the election to appoint some colored man as deputy sheriff. He refused, declaring that such appointment would not do. This time I do not think it would do for the race to place in office for six years a man who could not consider the claims of those who were his most loyal supporters." Quietly Married Miss Lydia Chase was quietly married at the parsonage of Allen A. M. E. Church by Rev. P. H. Green, because of the illness of the pastor, Rev. P. J. Jordan.

Philadelphia —The 1912 term:of the Penusylvania legisiatare will go down ip history us one of, special achieve ments ip mupy ways so far as Afro- Americans are concerned. In this con- nection it is quite pleasing to note the unselfish: services of the Hon. Harry W. Bass, the ouly representative of the ‘colored race in that legislative body. | There was some criticism of Mr. Bass’ inactivity during the first session -of the legislacure, and it was said that jhe lad. niet done as mueh us was ex- ‘pected of Lim. From the results of ‘this. session it can be easily said thet the inuctivity of our representutive was possibly due more to modesty: which is a very probuble thing ip a representative serving his first term, than to his inability or bis lack of interest. Still, during that first session Mr Bass secured the appropriation of $26. 00 for the celebration of the emanci- pation prociamation. If be bad dene nothing more than io secure this ap- Propriation it wonld have enuitted bin to the lustins gratimde of bis race. ‘The tend which Penveyivania took at the instance of Mr. Bass has not only awakened Vennsy!vania. but has fone still further, for New Jersey foi- lowed with an appropriation of $20. | 000 for the ceichration of the progress of the race im that state, and recently |New York has made gu appropriation | of $25,000 for a similar celebration. } So excetiont was tie showing made by the commission in Teunsylvanis [that the recent lesislurnre bas uutde an appropriation of 875.000 fur Zarther- ance of the exposition, We have on the statute books of this euicueere 2 bi to ereate a regiment of colored soldiers in this stire. aud 1) [we are to. lelieve the reports of the [newspapers the most brilliant. speech i made in defense of this bill was made | by the Bou.

Colored Waiter for Emerson Hotel? = According to current gossip, col- ored waiters will be installed in the Emerson Hotei this Sunday morn- ing.

Mr. William White, according to those who claim that there will be a change, will be the headwaiter. le is-at present headwaiter at_ the Merchants’ Club, a man from. New York will be second waiter and Joseph White, president uf the Publie Waiters’ Association, will be third waiter. About 35 side- waiters will be employed. The salary of the headwaiter will be, it is said, the highest paid any colored man in a similar: position in the city. A meeting of the prospective waiters and those desirotis of posi- tions was held Thursday night.
