THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXI NO. 51 MYSTIC SHRINERS IN ANNUAL SESSION EDITOR MURPHY ELECTED IMPERIAL POTENTATE The Daughters Of Isis, The Female Auxiliary, Also In Session. Indianapolis, Ind., August 14—Masons of high degree from all sections of the country were here last week to attend the fifteenth annual session of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. The sessions were held at the handsome hall of the Knights of Pythias, Senate avenue and Walnut street. Eugene Phillips, of New York, who was succeeded as imperial potentate by John H.Murphy, of Baltimore, presided. The Daughters of Isis, the female auxiliary also met. The next session will be held in Pittsburgh, Pa., in August, 1914. At the formal opening ceremony is last Wednesday evening. Mayor Shank, Dr. S.A. Furniss, Imperial Potentate Phillips, Past Potentate Leon T. Davidson and Mrs. Gertrude Pritchard, grand commander of the Daughters of Isis, delivered addresses. The annual address of the imperial potentate, reports from the imperial recorder, imperial treasure, other officers and various temples were heard at the business sessions. Among the social features was a reception given by Mme C. J. Walker in honor of the visitors and a big reception at Tomlinson Hall last Thursday night. The latter affair was attended by more than a thousand persons. A street parade, the first division containing the Arab Patrols and the second members of the Order, followed by the Imperial officers and Daughters of Isis in automobile, excited the admiration of the many thousands who thronged the line of march. The election of officers was held last Friday. John H. Murphy, of Baltimore, was unanimously elected imperial potentate. Mr. Murphy has served as imperial recorder for the past eight years and is regarded as having made a most acceptable secretary. Eugene Phillips, who voluntarily retired from the position of imperial potentate after a service of three years, will be presented a handsome jewel as an appreciation of his services. Other officers elected were: Deputy imperial potentate, Jose L. Sherwood St. Paul Minn.; imperial chief raban, George McKoin, St. Louis, Mo.; imperial assistant raban, Clarence E. Dunlop, Indianapolis; imperial recorder, Levi Williams, Jersey City, N. J.; imperial treasurer, J. Frank Hlaghurn, Washington D.C.; imperial oriental guide, George H. Wharton, Philadelphia; imperial grand marshal, Howard W. Pinn, Boston. The Grand Court of the Daughters of Isis closed its annual session with the election of the following officers: Grand commandress, Mrs. Cassie Mellier, St. Paul, Minn.; deputy grand commandress Mrs. Bessila Smith, Baltimore; grand first lieutenant; Mrs. Anna D. Groves, St. Louis, Mo.; grand treasurer, Mrs. Laura Williams, Washington; grand recorderess, Mrs. Laura Harris, Memphis, Ten. P. BISHOP WALTERS He arrived in Washington only to find out that the policy of exclusion seems to be fixed, and that President Wilson, from whom he expected so much in aid of colored Democrats, is seemingly siding with Hoke Smith, Vardaman, and Tillman, in their policy of excluding colored men from political performent. Washington, August 15. —Colored Democrats have ceased to mark time where they waited for something big to happen at the pie counter, and the few colored Republicans 'who hold jobs paying $12,00 or over are now marking time. These latter gentlemen fear that orders may come any day demoting them so some white Democrat may get advanced to some good position in the classified service. It is said that Lieut. Thomas R. Clarke, Spanish American War veteran, has been notified that he will be demoted from his $1,400 position in the office of Register of the Treasury. If he does not like his reduction he can quit and let some white man have the position. Bishop Alexander Waters who worked so valiantly in order that Democracy might triumph, was in the city this week after a few weeks' stay in the far West. He had talks with a few of his disheartened followers. One lone colored Democrat named as minister to Liberia, Dr. George Buckner, of Evansville, Ind., and his appointment urged by Indiana Congressmen is all that greeted the head of the National Colored Democratic League. The Bishop's optimism seems to have vanished, like those of the valiant colored Democrats who worked so valiantly in order that Democracy might triumph. The prelate had talks with several Congressmen and Senators, but was not inclined to say much for publication. The National Colored Democratic League submitted some weeks ago a tentative list of appointments desired. But not one of the faithful mentioned has even been seriously considered. To Admit Colored Workmen Atlantic City,August 14-At the recent session of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor, it was given out that the Federation would favor the organizing of skilled colored workmen. REGIMENT ADJUSTED TO NEW CONDITIONS The Twenty-Fifth Infantry Stationed at Hawaiian Islands A GENERAL FIELD DAY HELD They Can Play Athletic Games As Well as They Can War Games Schofield Barracks, H. T., July 25—The 25th Infantry has been stationed in these islands for more than six months and the regiment has become thoroughly adjusted to the new conditions maintaining its usual high standard of efficiency. The regiment is well officered. The commanding officer, Col. L. W. V. Kennon, is one of the finest and most soldierly of gentlemen in the service. He is a true friend of his regiment and men. A general field day was held here on the 18th ultimo, and our athletes of the 25th carried most of the honors with their usual energy and skill. The 220 hurdle race was won by Private Harris, Company I, 25th; with Corporal Benjamin H. Mills, Company F, second. Corporal Mills also won the 100 yard dash. The Machine Gun Platoon contest was won by the M.G.P. 25th Infantry. The rush from the scratch, the dismounting and firing, the remounting of the gun and regaining of position was executed with such consumate skill as to elicit the admiration of all present. The 25th also won first and second place in the three mile flag relav race and second place in the shot put contest. Our regiment has demonstrated that it can play the athletic as well as the war game—and none doubt our ability in that direction. Corporal Benjamin H. Mills went down to Honolulu to the Field Meet in that city on July 4th, and won first place in the hundred yard dash, receiving the compliments of the managers and a substantial monetary prize. The Loyal Legion, a society working for the moral and spirituall upift of the garrison, under the guidance of Chaplain and Mrs. O. J. W Scott, held a delightful outing and picnic in the Leilihua foothills, on the 12th inst. The feature of the afternoon was a base ball game between the ladies and the men. Some batters of rare ability were discovered on the ladies' side. The United Spanish War Veterans is a thriving organization in the 25th Infantry. Col. Lyman W. V. Kennon Camp stands second to none in the department, although it is the latest camp of this territory to be organized. A spacious hall has been recently erected and will afford the members of the society a most comfortable rendezvous for business and relaxation. Battalion Sergt. Major Lewis Broadus is Commander of the new camp. Chaplain O. J. W. Scott is working with his usual disregard of personal interest, in his efforts to better the condition of the men of the command. He has been largely instrumental in procuring the necessary funds for the establishment of a Post Library, and since this has been achieved he is working toward the establishment of a large gymnasium and social center for the whole garrison. His interesting services at the Post Chapel continue to attract and hold unusually large crowds. Annual target practice is engag- ing the time and interest of our regiment at this time. There are some fine shots in the regiment. The world famous Emmett Hawkins of Co. L, and first sergeant Oscar Fox of Co. M. both hold honors as distinguished marksmen. There are others who hold expert riflemen and sharpshoters' certificates. Rev. Dr. O'Connell Atlanta, Ga., August 14.—Rev. Dr. Pezavia O'Connell has been appointed professor of English Bible and sociology in Gammon Theological Seminary. He was formerly in the active work of the ministry of the M. E. Church, serving in the North Carolina and Delaware Conferences. In the latter conference he served a number of important charges, as well as six years as superintendent of the Salisbury district and principal of Princess Academy. He was educated at Wilberforce University, Gammon Theological Seminary, Columbia University, Union Theological Seminary and the University of Pennsylvania receiving the degree of doctor of philosophy from the latter institution for work in Semitic languages. For the past few years he served as a professor in Howard University. He is the first alumnus of Gammon Seminary to be appointed on the faculty. Youth Weil Versed in Mathematics Philadelphia, August 15.—Snyder A. Gross, a sixteen year old colored sophomore in the Boys' High School is regarded as a prodigy in mathematics. He has discovered a practical method of trisecting any angle of 180 degrees or less. When he disputed a statement of one of his teachers, his fellow pupils laughed at him. A model illustrating his method of trisecting a straight or lesser angle was made, which proved his theory to be correct. Young Gross' discovery is regarded as a great contribution to practical geometry. A number of leading mathematicians have commended him for his discovery. To Frame New Segregation Law Hyattsville, Md., August 15—Encouraged by the suggestion made by the Maryland Court of Appeals that a valid segregation law could be passed for Baltimore, Corporation Counsel Vincent A. Sheeby has been ordered by the local City Council to prepare a race segregation law for this place. The passage of a regulation that no homes may be built without water or sewerage facilities is also urged in order to prevent shacks from being built for the lower element of the race. The added expense, it is thought, would prevent builders from erecting houses for that class. Many of the residents here have for years been employed under Republican Presidents in the various departments at Washington. District Conference Conowingo, Md., August 15— The annual session of the Baltimore A.M.E. District Conference will begin at M. Zoar A. M. E. Church next Wednesday and continue in session two days. The remainder of theweek will be devoted to the Sunday School Convention, Mr. G. Sumner Whyte, president. Rev. D. G Hill is presiding elder of the district and Rev J. R. Nelson, the entertaining pastor. WILDWOOD MAKING RAPID STRIDES AFRO-AMERICANS THERE IN LARGE NUMBERS (Editorial Correspondence.) Wildwood, N. J., August. 12—Wildwood City, N. J., is not so well known as Atlantic City and some other resorts on the Jersey Coast. In recent years it has taken on somewhat of a "boom." In brief it is a reproduction of the famous Atlantic City, subdued, and not so turbulent. What it will be in time one can hardly forecast. It is beautifully laid off, much after the fashion of Atlantic City, and it abounds in handsome hotels and cottages, and like the older resort, its Boardwalk is something immeance. Wildwood is situated upon the Southeastern Coast of New Jersey about nine miles north of Cove May. The volley runs through the town from Angie sea to Hollywood Coast, a distance of about five miles, and a whole area is practically filled with cottages and hotels. Afro-Americans are here in quite large numbers, although nothing like in such proportion as in Atlantic City. Most of the colored people here are at work in the hotels, cottages, and other individual pursuits. There are very few here for vacation and pleasure. Apart from this lack of companionship a opportunity for interchange of friendship, Wildwood is a pleasant and attractive place for Afro-Americans to spend leisure moments, seeking real solid rest, with the climatic advantages. But this is no place for "Society" people, and all the hotels and cottages seem to be full, yet from our observation, we would judge that the great bulk of those who come here belong to the 3rd and 4th rate grade of white humanity. Of course, there are notable exceptions, but this is rather the rate. Women seem generally to have supplanted the men as "Waitresses," but roughly judging from our observations "tips" must be rather few and scarce. I noticed a rather good class of colored girls, largely from Philadelphia, waiting in some of the places here, and from their conversation, manners and deportment, I was forced to conclusion, that theirs were much better in quality, every way, than a vast number of the guests upon whom they wait. Wherever there is a considerable number of our people, anywhere in the north, the Negro Church is sure to follow. This is as it should be. There are two such in this place, one a Methodist, the other a Baptist Church. But, it is rather unfortunate that we do not always have real strong, efficient, and constructive leadership in such congregations. Inasmuch as such a large proportion of our people find themselves insuch work at seashore resorts; their moral and spiritual needs should by no means be neglected. But, for this, there must be able sympathetic and resourceful leadership, with a heart and mind to labor for the best and highest welfare of these people who come hither to earn their daily bread. Without such leadership as we have indicated, in proportion as Wildwood grows, so will the Negro population increase, and as it increases in great numbers some of the objectionable features of Negro life will obtrude, and where there is now no "Jim Crow," exclusion and inhibition will surely follow. If nothing happens to prevent, by the time this letter is in print, we hope to be in Cape May domiciled at queen among colored hotels, "The Dale." A day or so ago we were in Cape May, and accidently ran across Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, of the A. M. E. Church, who was spending a few days at the "Dale." In my next letter I want to say something of this fine Colored hotel, and our readers will be interested to know that Mrs. Dale, the wife of the proprietor, is a Baltimore woman, formerly Miss Mollie Jefferson. I am at present stopping at the "Glen Oak Hotel," Mrs. N. C. Johnson, proprietress. This is a magnificent and well equipped building with some 40 odd rooms and a large and spacious porch, about 10 feet by 40 feet where one may rest oneself in the breezes as they come from the Ocean not far removed. Galilean Fishermen In Annual Session Philadelphia, August 14.—The 57th annual session of the National Grand Tabernacle of Galilean Fishermen was held at Varick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church last week. Charles E. Holmes, of New York, the national grand ruler, presided. Reports submitted during the session indicated that the order was growing in strength both financially and numerically. At the opening session Rev. J. T. Moppism and A. W. E. Bassette delivered addresses. Columbus Gordon, of Baltimore, delivered an address outlining the history of the order. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Charles E. Holmes, New York, national grand ruler; Joseph P. Evans, Baltimore, deputy national grand ruler; Mrs. Ellen Freeney, national grand associate; Mrs. Jennie B.

Thornton, Virginia, messenger; Mrs. Noman, Philadelphia, inside guard and Lucius Roberts, Virginia, outer guard. Trying to Save A Indianapolis, Ind., August 15. A meeting was held here Monday night to devise means to save the foreclosure of the mortgage on the handsome hall of the Knights of Pythians. Under command of Brigadier General William C. Garnder, P2 companies of the uniform rank will leave next Saturday for the Supreme Lodge session in Baltimore. Norfolk, Va., August 14. Leading colored physicians and business men are interested in a project to raise $10,000 toward equipping a hospital for the race here. UNITED EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE Opening of Newly Built Meeting House Attended by Large Throng of Noted Clergymen, Educators and Other Influential Citizens—Fine Leadership of Pastor M. A. Talley. Wilson, N. C.—The opening of the new edifice of the First Baptist church, recently erected here, was attended by throngs of people of both races the first week in August. It is one of the most modern church buildings among the colored people in this section of the state. The work represents the efforts and ability of the Rev. M. A. Talley, a young man of great promise and ambition. He it was who marshaled the 250 members of the church to the work which has yielded such fine results. Among the prominent speakers during the celebration were Dr. C. S. Brown, president of the Lott Carey Baptist foreign mission convention; Dr. Charles S. Morris, the noted advocate of foreign missions, orator and reformer and pastor of the Bank Street Baptist church, Norfolk, Va.; Professor Charles L. Coon, the stanch advocate for better educational facilities for the race in the south and superintendent of the public schools of Wilson; Colonel Bruton, president of the First National bank of this city; Dr. W. T. Chambliss, pastor of the white Baptist church; Rev. H. B. Taylor, pastor of the Presbyterian church; Rev. R. N. Perry, rector of the colored P. E. church, and Rev. Mr. Coward, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church of this city. During the month of March. 1012, after strenuous efforts, the members A. E. of the First Baptist church succeeded in getting Rev. M. A. Talley, one of the most progressive, highly esteemed and excellently prepared young men in the denomination, to accept the pastorage of their church. He graduated with honors from the college department of Biddle university, and while a student at this well known university he distinguished himself in oratory and Y. M. C. A. work. After having done very effective work in the Y. M. C. A. field as secretary of local work in Florida he was persuaded to return to North Carolina, his native state, and became one of the missionaries for the Baptist state Sunday school convention, under the direction of the co-operation plan with the American Baptist Publication society. When Rev. Mr. Talley took charge of his present church work in March, 1912, he found the church without a dollar in the treasury for church building purposes. The ability to organize and create something for the good of the community and the race is evidenced in the fact that he raised nearly $2,000 within sixty days after his arrival here. The entire membership of 250 people, composed mostly of the hard laboring element, rallied remarkably to his support. The membership has been increased to 350.

He was a brave and veteran soldier of Democracy, but, he was only a Negro, and President Wilson got from behind him and he fell. There is absolutely nothing which more thoroughly tests the quality of the manhood of a white official than the so-called Negro problem. Not only is this true in secular affairs, but it is equally true with respect to religious affairs. The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man is diligently preached in all the so-called white churches while, in practise, it is every where spoken against. The insincerity of President Wilson is most apparent in the Patterson case. He had lived too long in the United States not to have known just what would follow upon the announcement of a Negro being appointed Register of the United States Treasury. And even if he had not known, having taken stand which was just and right, there was nothing else for him, to do but stand by his guns. However, we accept it as providential and educative. Aside from the Negro problem aspect of the matter Mr. Wilson is about the highest and best representative of the National Democracy. If the highest and best will accept the services and devotion of Negro people in a contest, and pledge them a "square deal" and then throw them down before the battle is set in array what may we expect from representatives of Democracy of a lower class than that represented by the President of the United States. We understand that "Adam" Patterson gave his time and his talent for the success of the democracy. Democracy won, and the President deliberately "set him up" in order that he might be "kicked down." All of this seemed itally necessary in order to thoroughly convince the Negro that a spite what might be his hope and expectation in local affairs; when it comes to National affairs, the National Democratic party is a safe and Victor to be seduction in a defrauction, so far as the Negro is concerned. We do not blame him, we do not blame or create Negro Democrats. They were thoroughly in this endeavors. They simply lacked experience. That they now have "in the fall of Adam." In Adam we all politically die, so far as the Democratic party is concerned. But, we shall soon have life more abundantly. The race everywhere is wiser. Our failure is but another name for success. We shall win, for now beyond the least shadow of a doubt are we convinced that our political salvation is inseparably connected with the forces, now temporarily divided, designated as Progressive and Republican. No political party in this country can dominate long in National affairs which deliberately seeks to degrade and humiliate the Negro race. Negro voters in the North and West have received more than a liberal education in the "fall of Adam", and, hereafter, they will talk less, but act more wisely, for the good of the race and the entire country. SEGREGATION The very idea and notion of "Segregation is radically and entirely wrong. A man who calls Christ "Master" and who deliberately sets himself to go contending to the most distinctive teaching of Christianity, is a self convicted hypocrite. We dare assent that the most distinctive teaching of Christ is, the Brotherhood of all men. There is absolutely nothing in the New Testament which shines out more conspicuously than this one principle. The adveat by Christ in the world was to break up Segregation" He brought into the world a brand new idea. He established a Universal Brotherhood, ignoring race, class, or condition; and as the supreme test of membership in this Brothehood he gave a new command of "love," and he proclaimed by this, love, shall all men know that ye are my disciples. By many parables he illustrated his meaning. Yea, he even washed the dirty feet of his disciples, indicating thereby that all such talk as "Superiority" and "best people" was absolutely foreign to His Kingdom. The colored race has a sinceré and pure motive. It breathes ill-will to none. It is simply trying to get firmly upon its feet, to be all the Master would have it to be. And, yet, the great army of "white" preachers "Segregate" themselves entirely from us. They have neither interest or sympathy in the things which concern our welfare. Still, they say "Our Father." How can they expect God to recognize them, when they fail to show that they love God by loving their now suffering "Segregated" brethren whom they see afar off and pass by on the other side, without giving relief? It is God's work. It is not a "Negro problem." It is the white man's problem. And the white man, sooner or later will have to change his ideals of God, of truth, and duty, or renounce belief in God, an cease his repetition of "Our Father." Now if the segregation phobyists will take a trip to some suburban resort and take a rest, it will do them good and will give the city a little opportunity to get a little rest also. There are only a few of them but they keep up so much noise until they verily believe they are the whole shooting match. Put out a few flags and some buting. The Pythians will appreciate it. Come on boys; ten thousand strong, we will be ready for you and give you a royal welcome, and a taste of Baltimore hospitality. --- Dresses will be just as tight and the slit will be just as long, but the dressmakers tell us there will be no hosiery exhibit. Will the dress makers go on a strike? What does Mayor Preston want next? Ever he has come out for segregation. What sort of a job is he seeking now. It is principally job hunters that are favoring segregation. The "poor collud' pusson," seems to be always in trouble of some sort or other. Some of them voted again st Timanus and for Preston, and some of them voted against Taft for Roosevelt and some for Wilson. Preston and Wilson get the jobs and now they are segregationists and the "poor collud' pusson" gets it in the neck. "Poor collud' pusson." Rev. J. Henry Dorsey, one of the four colored Catholic priests in the country, is visiting friends and relatives here. He is the guest of Rev. J. J. Nally, pastor of St. Peter Claver's Catholic Church.

SPECIAL NOTICE The colored voters Baltimore City and the State of Maryland of any and all political faiths are cordially invited to Galilean Fishermen's Hall, 411 W. Biddle street, next Tuesday night, August 19th, to consider the streets of the race in the coming campaign and a plan of actions: MUSICAL ORGANIZATION AT THE LYRIC It was not a record breaking audience, largely due to shortness of the time for advertising and the season of the year, but the one that greeted "The Frogs" at the Lyric Wednesday night was certainly appreciative. Every number was applauded. "The Frogs" are hopping about on their first annual tour. At the opening at Manhattan Casino, New York city, Monday, an over flowing audience greeted these topnotchers in vaudeville, music and dancing. A similar scene presented itself in Philadelphia Tuesday night. Bert Williams was there and as a stylish lady dressed in a flaming pink gown slit up the sides, he made a hit when he danced with S. H. Dudley. The humours they danced, won the plaudits of the house. A minstrel first part, with Jesse A. Shipp as interlocutor, caught the fancy of the audience. Catlin and Bob Kelly, as character comedians, caught the crowd. Catlin admirably played the part of a Chinese. Bob Kelly made a hit by telling of the race between a donkey and elephant, and Bull moose, in which the donkey landed the prize while the other animals were fighting the donkey ran first to the White House. Kelly said that the last job he went after another man got to—Woodrow Wilson. Harper and Gillam character comedians, and Henry Troy, who sang "Consolation," were decided hits. Bobby and Mae Kemp, Theodore Pankey, Billy Robinson, Maggie Davis and others appeared. Bert Williams, S. H. Dudley, Billy Robinson and Maggie Davis greatly amused the crowd in a comedy skit entitled, "They Came Back." The show closed with several comedy acts, which included singing and dancing. James Reese Euopes' exclusive society orchestra furnished the music. Those in the orchestra included: George Smith, first violin; Tracy Cooper, second violin; George Waters, Crickett Smith, banjolines; Edgar Campbell, clarinet; George Farfax, troubone; Chandler Ford, cello; George De Leon, baritone; Walter Scott, bass violin, Leonard Smith, piano, and Dennis Johnson, traps and drums. William Vodery and James R. Europe were the conductors of the music. The aggregation appeared in Richmond Thursday night and Washington last night. "The Frogs" include In its membership men whose names are familiar to the public. They have a big club house in New York city. LESTER WALTON EXPLAINS When questioned about the advertisement in the daily papers that "special sections would be reserved for white people," Lester Walton, their press representative, stated that Sam Cooker, advance man, had left the matter in the hands of white people here and they were responsible. He added that "The Frogs" were composed of men who had by sheer ability had in a measure, broken down prejudices against them, and that the members would not foster any "jim crow" movements. THE COLONEL IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA In Conference with Great Educators. Finds Ala. To be a State of Rapid Progress Birmingham, Ala: You will find me here as I write this letter, but far from here will I be when you read it, so I will not take up so much time to tell you all about this. Look at your letter last week and you will find Col. Midnight mixed up very much with some educated people, and this week you will find him away from them. That was indeed a fine meeting in Little Rock, and I shall never forget it as long as I am in the world, and perhaps sometime after I leave the world. Prof. M. W. Dogan, of Marshall is one of the best presiding officers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is president of a college it is true, but all college presidents are not presiding officers and this you will have to remember. I wish you could have heard the speech of Prof. J. R. E. Lee. He certainly did make a good speech. Well he is the organizer of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. He has been at Tuskegee for long time and I think he is going to remain there and will not accept of a position which has been offered him as president of a great big school in Texas. He is doing a good work and is much needed. After remaining in Little Rock until the close of the meeting then left for Memphis. You will recall that I have told you about Memphis time and time again. Reaching the city, no one was expecting me to be there hence I got in the town, and went to see the Rev. Griffin, pastor of St. Andrew A. M. E. church. This was on my way up the street, and the good elder invited me in, and invited me to stop with him but I thought I would go to my usual place, so on to Prof. T. O. Fuller's I went, but he was not expecting me, and informed me that he had turned the cottage over to the mosquitees, and while he did not inform me yet indicated that I would have find other quarters, so I just ordered my things sent up to the big house. I sent to the home of Thomas H. Haws, the undertaker. Do you remember that I told you a long time ago about the beautiful home he has purchased. I was permitted to spend two days in this fine home unmolested. I will have to tell you about it in another letter, as my machine is in trouble. Sunday morning in keeping with the invitation the sermon was preached at St. Andrew A. M. E. church and I used for a text, "What is man that thou art mindful of him?" All that one of my education could think about the sermon was thought and was given to the people. Many shouted and cried, and said many things out in church and 14 young men came to the altar for praver. Sunday afternoon; I met Hon. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, editor of the Memphis Sun and general all around man. I shall have to tell you about the visit to his office and the District Grand Lodge in another letter. --- The funeral of Mrs. Mary Jane Bowser, who died at her home, 1538 Argyla avenue, last Saturday, was held Monday.

C., Rock Hill, Ridgway and Columbia, S. C., who have promised to show them a very enjoyable time while they are with them. Dr. W. M. Biggs, veterinarian, of Gettysburg, Pa., was the guest last week of his brother-in-law, Rev. George Curray, pastor of Asbury Church. PLANNING A BANQUET AND RECEPTION Church A big banquet and reception in honor of the delegates and visitors to the sixteenth biennial session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Supreme Court of Calanthe will be held on the evening of the opening day, Monday, August 25th, at Bethel A.

Fickland, pastor of the church and a response will be made by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green. Solos will be sung by Mrs. Gertrude Dennis, Miss Louise Fickland and Dr. O. D. Jones.

Jackson head of the uniform rank, will arrive next week to arrange for the encampment of 6,000 men at Shadyside. As the camping ground only contains 20 acres, none of the uniform rank in Maryland or the ladies' drill rank can be accommodated there at night. A special detail of police will be there to see that the best of order prevails. Grand Chancellor George A. Watty has been busy at the local headquarters, 414 West Hoffman street, this week arranging for the quartering, of the various delegations and other matters. He says that he has received every assurance that the session here will be a record breaker. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green will arrive early next week to assist in the final arrangements. The city in aiding the holding of the session has donated the use of the Richmond Market Armory and the iceboat Latrobe, besides making an appropriation for the special illumination of Druid Hill avenue from Paca to Eutaw street that week.

The horse is man's univer- motor, without which he could not have attained to his present degree of civilization—could not even have emerged from sav- agery—yet he is so familiar that he is not appreciated until he is lost. No other animal is so important to human welfare, and his improvement by the use of good sires should be the care of every farmer as a mere matter of economy—Kansas Farmer. IS IT "LAZY MAN'S WAY?" Use of Commercial Fertilizers Discussed For and Against. Mr. Fullerton, who, with his wife, is the "head and front" of the Long Island experiment farms, discourses as follows on the use, or, rather, abuse, of commercial fertilizers. In answer to the question, "Aren't you ever going to use fertilizer, Mr. Fullerton?" he said: "Bless your souls, yes. Didn't I use fertilizer when I plowed that rye under? Next fall I am going to put on about ten tons to the nere of manure again, and I am going to turn under crimson clover, vetch and rye on every square foot I can get planted. "Then I shall use lime for a sweeten er, for we now can afford the lime a little time to work. Next summer when I am putting in a second and third crop on the same ground I shall probably use blood and bone meal. "Don't misunderstand me. I think chemical fertilizers are bully for old, worn out land, but it would be like 'carrying coals to Newcastle' to put them on virgin soil." "The craze for chemical fertilizer has gone too far. There are places where they have put it on heavy (with the theory that if one to good two tons will be better) that they have chemical laboratories, not farms. All chemical fertilizing is 'hazy man's way.' He claims he will not have weeds, so will save cultivation. Weeds are the farmer's best friends. They force him to cultivate, and lack of cultivation is the crime of modern farming. If they'll pile some old manure on that ground now and so liberate through decomposition the various component parts of the chemical fertilizers they will have farms again." SMOKING OUT THE BUGS. Fumigation a Good Way of Getting Rid of Henhouse Pests. Fumigation is a means of reaching germs and insect E. In the air of the room and in the cracks and crannies of the woodwork, says the American Cultivator. The house or room should be tightly closed and all fowls excluded during fumigation. A simple method is to burn the sulphur candies now sold at stores dealing in poultry supplies. The funes of Drimstone may also be produced by burning in a metallic basin (such as an old iron kettle) a number of rags previously soaked in melted sulphur. Sulphur may be mixed with a little alcohol or kerosene oil and burned, or it may be sprinkled upon live coals placed in a chafing dish. The house or room should be kept closed for several hours and then opened as thoroughly as possible to allow the wind to drive out any remaining trace of poisonous gas. In fumigating by burning substances be careful not to set fire to the building. Remember also that in most cases the substances which are used are poisonous to human life and to fowls. Carelessness in their use or in leaving them about where chick or child can get at them may have dire results. Dip fresh eggs, one at a time, in hot melted paraffin, enough to cover the egg. Take out immediately with wire tongs made for that purpose of baling wire, let paraffin harden and dip quickly again, reversing egg. Let cool. Wrap ench egg separately in waxed or paraffin paper. Wrap carefully, so as not to scratch or break the coating. Pack cold in tin fruit cans and seal with paraffin, which excludes the air. Eggs so canned air tight will keep several months, the paraffin having closed the pores in the shell. Keep in a cool place and label can. "Handle with care." Farm and Fireside. very farmer or horseman knows provoking it is to own a horse that will unlatch a stable door by sliding or lifting the latch with his teeth or nose. The accompanying sketch from Popular Mechanics shows a latch fastener that will baffle the efforts of BARN DOOR LATCH, OUT AND INSIDE PARTS. any horse to open the dor. The latch cannot be pushed back until the bar is raised, thus requiring two movements at the same time to open the door. The latch can be drawn from the outside by using the old style latch string to lift the bar and a knob in a slot to move the latch. Health Hint: For the Farmer. Take an old piece of carpet along with you when you go to dig the borers out of apple trees. Kneel on that instead of the damp ground. May save you a case of rheumatism.—Farm Journal.

Elaborate Preparations Have Been Made For the Entertainment of Delegates and Visitors to the Annual Convention of the National Medical Association, Which Begins Aug. 26. Nashville, Tenn. - Preparations for the entertainment of the National Medical association, which will convene in this city Aug. 26 to 28, have been completed, and there is every indication that this will be the greatest session in the history of the organization. The committees in charge of the local arrangements have made every effort and have spared no pains to give a rousing welcome and a hospitable reception to the visiting delegates and friends. Ample accommodations have been provided for all those who expect to be present, and the social functions, while not numerous or ostentatious, will be nevertheless enjoyable. Those will include a smoker for the gentlemen, a reception for the visiting ladies, a banquet at the state capitol of Tennessee and an auto ride to the Hermitage, the birthplace of Andrew Jackson. Advices received from the general secretary of the National Medical association indicate that the program this year will be one of high, scientific merit and great popular interest. There will be a wealth of papers on all subjects connected with medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, and arrangements have been made for holding numerous clinics in all of these branches. The secretary of the dental section, Dr. W. E. Braswell of Atlantic City, N. J., has arranged a most excellent program, consisting of papers, clinics, demonstrations and a public meeting for the benefit of parents and school children. Dr. H. B. Marble of Yazoo City, Miss., secretary of the pharmaceutical section, is preparing an elaborate display of exhibits for that section. Reduced rates have been secured on all railroads leading to Nashville, and the prevailing rate will be about one and one-half of the regular fare. A special car will be run from Washington, in charge of Dr. A. M. Curtis, 1039 Thirteenth street N. W., Washington; one from Richmond, in charge of Dr. D. A. Ferguson. First and Marshall streets, Richmond, and one from Jacksonville, Flu., in charge of Dr. H. A. Anderson, 425 Broad street, Jacksonville. This plan insures a comfortable and congenial trip for all of those who expect to attend, and those who expect to board the train at any point along the line will do well to communicate with either of the aforementioned gentlemen. Some of the more prominent members of the profession who will positively be present are: Dr. A. M. Curtis, Washington; Dr. W. A. Warfield, Washington; Dr. M. O. Dumas, Washington; Dr. P. A. Johnson, New York city; Dr. G. E. Cannon, Jersey City, N. J.; Dr. A. W. Williams, Chicago; Dr. D. H. Williams, Chicago; Dr. Val Do Turner, St. Paul, Min.; Dr. J. E. Hunter, Lexington, Ky.; Dr. Rivers Frederick, New Orleans; Dr. A. M. Brown, Kirmingham, Ala.; Dr. E. T. Belsaw, Mobile, Ala.; Dr. W. F. Penn, Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. D. A. Ferguson, Richmond, Va. From advice already received this will be the largest convention in point of attendance in the history of the organization, and the committee in charge of local affairs and the officers of the organization are hoping that every physician, dentist and pharmacist in the country will this year avail himself of membership in the organization THE HUMBLE POLITICIAN. Views of a Well Known Washington Writer of Present Situation. Washington—About the most dejected set of men seen around the capitol of the nation these days are the colored Democrats who supported Woodrow Wilson, says a well known Washington newspaper correspondent. They believed that his election would pave the way for colored men to support all political parties and point to the fact that their aid was solicited in the campaign last fall. Now that the party of their second choice is in power, they have seen all kinds of movements started by Democrats to Jimcrow and humiliate the race. TRAINING YOUNG DISCIPLES. Sunday School Workers Hold Great Uplift Meeting in Charlotte. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Charlotte. N. C.-What the Afro-American Baptists of North Carolina, through their Sunday schools have accomplished during the fifty years of freedom of the race in America, was fittingly set forth in this city, where the forty-first annual Baptist State Sunday school convention was held the second week in August. Large delegations from every section of the state were present, and the enthusiasm of the ardent Sunday school workers was unbounded. The remarkable development of this great agency of the church was evidenced in many ways, and there was a holy ambition on the part of the delegates to make the work of the Sunday school for the reaching of all classes of their race more effective. The annual address of Dr. A. M. Moore, president of the convention and ```markdown ``` DB. A. M. MOORE. treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, prominent philanthropist and superintendent of the White Rock Baptist Church Sunday school, Durham, was a splendid feature of the convention. The meeting excelled all past records during Dr. Moore's administration. He, with the assistance of such workers as Colonel James H. Young, Dr. A. W. Pegues, Dr. N. F. Roberts, Rev. M. A. Tailey, Dr. C. S. Brown and others, has made this convention among the most interesting, inspiring and helpful events among Afro-Americans in this section of the state. Although one of the leading physicians of the race in the south and connected with many movements and a man kept busy by many affairs, Dr. Moore has in his commonplace way of bringing things to pass made this the jubilee year for the Afro-American Sunday school workers in the state. The program this year was especially good. The demonstrative work and other strong features of the program, having such men as Dr. C. S. Morris of Norfolk, Va.; Dr. C. S. Brown, president of the Lott Carey convention; Dr. E. M. Erawley, Dr. A. W. Pegnes, Rev. M. A. Talley, Dr Lewis, pastor of the church in which the convention was held, and Dr S. N. Vass made this feature of human endeavor an epoch making one. Dr. Charles S. Morris has aroused the whole state among Baptists in the interest of foreign missions. The recent tour of the state under the management of a group of members of the Lott Carey convention did much for the work of African missions. Such laymen as Mr. C. C. Spauling, general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association; Dr. F. S. Hargraves of Wilson, Colonel James H. Young of Raleigh and a host of others are very active in this work. The Sunday schools in the rural districts sent large delegations that entered enthusiastically into the services, took in every important phase of the convention and the results will show that the people in the rural districts will be greatly benefited. The citizens of Charlotte made the stay of the hundreds of delegates one of both pleasure and profit. MEETING OF METHODISTS. Baltimore Conference to Hold Session in Washington Aug. 22. The Potomac district of the Baltimore A. M. E. conference will hold its annual session at the Ebenezer A. M. E. church in Washington, beginning Aug. 22. The district takes in churches in southern Maryland and the District of Columbia. An attractive program has been provided. The Rev.W. D. Naylor is the entertaining pastor. The Rev. C. H. Stepteau, one of the best known ministers in this section of the country, is presiding elder of the district. He has filled prominent charges in the Virginia and Baltimore conferences, and is regarded as being one of the best equipped of the clergy. He was a delegate to the general conference held in the spring of 1912. Supreme Lodge of Royal Friends. The Arkansas Baptist college in Little Rock, Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president, shows its interest in the success of a former graduate by throwing open its doors during the vacation season for the annual meeting of the Royal Circle of Friends of the World, of which Dr. R. A. Williams, M. D. of Helena, Ark., is the honored and highly esteemed president. This institution, the alma mater of Dr. Williams, has produced scores of able men and women who are doing noble work for the race. The supreme lodge meets in September. Delegates are expected in large numbers from the eight states where the order has a large membership and many local branches.

Pioneers in the field of Business They Advertise Wake Up, You --- WOMAN'S PART IN RACE UPLIFT THE SPIRIT OF CHIVALRY. Whole Section of Exposition In New York In October Will Be Devoted to the Efforts and Achievements of Women—Mmes. Talbert and Lawton Head Department. New York.—A young colored man from South America recently gave it as his opinion, based on several months of observation in New York and other cities, that the colored woman is the saving grace of the race in this country, "The woman." according to this young fellow, "is the leaven of purity and courage and active, wholesome ambition in what would otherwise be the listless, spiritless, unthinking mass of colored people. Without her the cause of the Negro in this country would be lost." It may be that the spirit of chivalry, which is still cultivated outside of the United States, had a lot to do with shaping this young man's opinion of his North American sisters. It may be also that a colored girl from Brazil or Gulana or Cuba would have conceived of her northern brother as the finest specimen of chivalric manhood and courtly grace, while his sister might be found to be dull and insplid. Then, too, the fact cannot be lost sight of that in this country a colored woman, like a woman of any other race, is occupied in many pursuits which in other countries are left only to the stronger sex. Consequently she has greater opportunity to use and display her talents and thus to win the commendation and esteem of men from countries where the woman's sphere is strictly and religiously regarded as "the home." But since "the home" is the basis of all civilization there can be little if any difference in the ideals or aspirations of the colored people in the two Americas. There is perhaps a difference in the method of attaining these ideals. Generally speaking, it may be said that in the south the man expects to make "the home," while in the north he expects the woman at least to help make it and, having made it, to help secure all of those things which make "the home" worth while as a center for the protection of life and the pursuit of happiness. It is particularly fitting that the New York emancipation commission should have planned to devote a section of the exposition in October to the work of women, for no review of the progress of the Negro race could be complete without giving full credit to the colored women for the part they have played in the advance of the race in this country. In other lands the deeds of Toussaint L'Ouverture and Macco have rendered these men immortal. Beneath the stars and stripes what colored man has ever displayed the heroic devotion to race and country or has lived a life of self sacrifice and service to his fellows in any sense comparable to that of Harriet Tubman? We hear about the political sagacity and acumen of an educated Robert Elliott, but who is the humble, unlettered colored American that can be placed by the side of Sojourner Truth as a champion of the rights of her people? It is the mother who shapes the career of a Tanner; it is the wife who gives inspiration and encouragement to a Booker T. Washington. Wherever you turn, you find the strengthening and guiding and sustaining hand of the colored woman, as teacher, as leader or promoter in movements for civic progress and social uplift, as the mainstay of the church. In short, whatever progress the colored man has made, he owes it in no small measure to the refining, ennobling qualities of the colored woman. Among the ladies whose service to their race and country entitles them to place of honor in the program of the emancipation exposition are Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo, the president of the Empire State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and Mrs W. R. Lawton, the wife of the pastor of St. James' church. New York city, who stands foremost in the list of civic and social factors in the colored womanhood of the metropolis. Mrs. Lawton and Mrs. Talbert are at the head of the women's auxiliary to the commission. The work of the commission is progressing satisfactorily, and present conditions seem to assure for the exposition a success which could hardly be anticipated, in view of the late start. Persons desirous of cooperating in the work should write for information to the emancipation commission at its offices, 2217 Seventh avenue, New York city. Lott Carey Missionary Convention. Local Baptist ministers are preparing for the annual session of the Lott Carey Missionary Baptist convention, which will be held in Washington the first week in September at the First Baptist church, the Rev. E. E. Ricks, pastor. The convention is engaged in foreign mission and educational work. The Rev. C. S. Brown of Winston-Salem, N. C., is president, and the Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore MEETING OF PUBLISHERS. Philadelphia to Be Host of Newspaper Men Aug. 18. Philadelphia. - The approaching annual meeting of the National Negro Press association to be held in this city for two days, beginning Monday. Aug. 18, will be the largest in numbers of any held since it was organized in Louisville, Ky., in 1909. The association has grown by leaps and bounds during the past ten months. From a weak and halting position the organization has taken on an attitude of strength and confidence which has attracted to it editors, publishers and newspaper correspondents in all sections of the country, who have joined hands with the few who by their earnestness and persistence held the association together at Chicago in 1912. Mr. R. W. Thompson is president. Hitherto the great number of newspaper men among us has been the most widely divided group of persons P. A. PRESIDENT H. W. THOMPSON. engaged in any of the professions, not because of any special diversity of opinion, but rather because there has not been any central organization for a rallying point of interest in any given cause either for the shaping of favorable public sentiment for the race or a point of vantage for mutual interchange of views. The program for the two days covers most of the important phases of newspaper work. The topics for discussion have been very wisely selected and will be considered in their order by the members in attendance. Representation on the executive committee is by states, which gives a sufficient number of persons to do "team" work in the various states in the interest of the general body at all times during the year. Thirty-nine states are represented on the present executive committee, and its work during the year shows a high degree of interest and efficiency. Arrangements for the coming meeting have been perfected by the local entertainment committee, headed by Dr. R. R. Wright, who has the hearty cooperation of the editors here, together with that of many public spirited citizens. Hon. Harry W. Bass, member of the state legislature, and former Congressman George H. White are among the number who will deliver welcome addresses at the opening session Monday morning, Aug. 18. JIMCROW RAILROAD CARS. How They Are Operated In Direct Violation of Law. The movement recently started in North Carolina to have better accommodations on the railroads of that state for Afro-Americans is being vigorously pushed. What is true of the jimcrow car service in North Carolina is largely true of other southern states. The railroads in the south, while they draw the color line, are supposed to give equal accommodations, but they don't. These jimcrow railroads should be made to comply with the law under which they operate or be driven out of business. Why should conductors and porters and track hands use the jimcrow cars for their office or lounging room or a store room for their luggage? Why should white passengers be allowed to ride in or use the jimcrow coach for any purpose. The answer is, they never will until the patrons who pay their fare on these roads rise up and demand of the railroad companies operating jimcrow cars full and unmolested service.Equal accommodation means equal service for a given money consideration on these roads, and anything short of this is a direct violation of the law. Important Gathering of Baptists. The twenty-fifth annual meeting of the Western Baptist association, southern California, will be held at Bakersfield, Cal., beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 19. The association will be in session for about ten days during which time there will be conducted a Chautauqua and an industrial fair will be held. The introductory sermon of the association will be preached by the Rev. H. B. Thomas of Santa Barbara, one of the vice presidents of the National Baptist convention, Dr. C. H. Anderson will preside over the proceedings of the convention, and Dr. J. T. Hill of Big Mount Zion church in Los Angeles will preach the annual sermon. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson heads the local entertainment committee. New School Building In Washington. The new Normal school building, authorized by the board of education in Washington to be erected on University bill, near Howard university, is nearing completion. The building is modern in every particular and will accommodate many pupils. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VII.—Third Quarter, For Aug.17,1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ex. xiv, 19-31. Memory Verses, 30, 31—Golden Text, Isa. Ixv, 24—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The story of the Lord's dealings with Israel so long ago is not simply an old story, but an old and true record, with a present application for us and a still future reference to Israel, for according to the days of their coming out of the land of Egypt will the Lord show unto them marvelous things, and the nations shall see and be confounded at all their might (Mic. vii, 15, 16). The whole Bible record from Gen. iii to Rev. xx is that of God working, the devil opposing and man on the side of God or the devil, God always working for man's benefit in spite of his sin, ingratitude and unbelief. He chose Israel and brought them unto Himself that they might be unto Him a peculiar treasure above all people, a holy people (Ex. xix, 4, 5; Deut. vii, 6). His desire being that other nations might know Him through them. The same truths hold concerning believers now, but us Israel failed so the church is failing to believe and honor God as she should. May the truths of this lesson help us so to live that others may want to know the Lord because of us. Mark the repeated statements that the Lord brought them out of Egypt that He might bring them into the promised land because of His oath to their fathers (xiii, 3, 5, 9, 11, 14; Deut. vi, 23), and let us stop murmuring and wondering and be quite certain that because of His faithfulness His own can never perish, but will in due time reach His home in glory (John x. 27:20). Note the reference to the faith and words of Joseph, "God will surely visit you," and see the fulfillment (xiii. 19; Gen. l. 25). God did not lead the people in the most direct way, but He led them about, and, though it was a solitary way, it was the right way (xiii. 18; Ps. cvii. 4, 7). He seemed to lead them into difficulties, for we find them very soon shut in by the sea before them, the Egyptians behind them and the mountains on either side (xiv. 9, but it was to overthrow their enemies and work for them a great deliverance, and so it is always in all His dealings with His own. The pillar of cloud by day and fire by night by which He led, protected, avenged and delivered them is one of the most striking object lessons in all their history. He never took it away. When necessary it stood behind them, instead of going before them, and became their protector. It was darkness to the Egyptians, but light to Israel (xiii. 21, 22; xiv. 19, 20. The Lord was in it. It was the symbol and assurance of His presence (xiv. 24). Note some of the many references to this wonderful cloud in Ex. xl. 28; Nun ix. 15; x. 34; xiv. 14; Deut. i. 33; Neh. ix. 12; 10; Ps. lxxviii. 14; xcix. 7; ev. 30, and believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever and loves and cares for you, if you are redeemed, as truly as He did for Israel. His tendency in time of trouble is to be afraid, as Israel was, but the many "fear nots" should quiet us, and we should learn to be still and let Him fight our battles (xiv. 10, 13, 14, 25). See some of the many assurances in Dent. i. 20, 30; ii. 22; xx. 3, 4; 11 Chron. xx. 20, 30; lsa. xi. 10, 12. There is a time to stand still and a time to go forward, a time to be still and a time to act (xiv. 13, 15; Ruth iii. 18; Ps. xlvi. 10, 11). Moses was told to divide the sea, but it was the Lord who divided it (verses 16, 21). He works through us and then calls the work ours and gives us credit for it, but it is God who worketh in us both to will and to do (1thi. ii. 13). The sea divided, and all Israel went through on dry land, the waters being a wall unto them on their right hand and on their left (verse 22; xv. 19; Num. xxiii. 1, 15; Ps. 6; xxvii. 13; Isa. xxii. 12, 13). The Egyptians pursued and went in after them to the midst of the sea, but by the hand of Moses the sea returned to his strength, and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. There remained not so much as one of them (verses 26, 28). It is said of the plague of flies that when they were removed "there remained not one" (chapter vii. 31), so thoroughly does God work whether against flies or Egyptians. "Thus the Lord saved Israel that day" (xiv. 30), and Israel saw and believed and sang unto the Lord. The Lord Jesus said to Thomas. "Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed; blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed" (john xx. 20). We are expected to walk by faith, not by sight, but we are too often, like Israel, singing when we see victory and murmuring when we see difficulties. This overthrow of Israel's enemies is one of the great morning stories of the Bible (verses 24.27) and makes us think of the morning for which all true believers should be waiting, referred to in 11 Sam. xxii. 4; Ps. xlv. 5 (margin): xlix. 14; cxxx. 6. Then shall Israel sing the song of Moses and the Lamb according to Rev. xv. Then shall the Lord come as a man of war, in righteousness to judge the nations, and then shall He reign forever and ever (Ex. xv. 3. 18; Rev. xlx. 11: 60; xx. 4. Blessed are all those who can truly say, "The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation" (Ex. xv). BIG JUBILEE CELEBRATION. How Bishop Phillips Raised Large Sum For Mission Work. Nashville, Tenn.-Nothing of the kind within recent years has equaled or surpassed in interest, activity or good fellowship the missionary congress and emancipation celebration recently held here by bishop C. H. Phillips of the Fifth Episcopal district of the colored Methodist Episcopal church. The rally for missions was conducted on the basis of 1 cent per member for each year since freedom. There are 7,781 members in the fifth district, and the amount raised was $2,957. There was great enthusiasm throughout the celebration: The Rev. D. A. Walker, presiding elder of the Cleveland district of the Kentucky and Ohio conference, was crowned "money king" of the fifth district among presiding elders on account of having raised more money than all the leaders above the amount assessed by Bishop Phillips. The Rev. J. L. Thompson, Carlisle, Ky.; P. W. Garrett, Dawson Springs, Ky.; I. H. Jones, Chattanooga, and T. H. Copeland, Clarksville, Tenn., were ench crowned "money king" among the ministers who raised the most money in their several annual conferences over all other pastors. "Nashville," a song composed by Dr. Jasper Tappen Phillips. M. D., younger son of the bishop, was the official ode of the congress and became a popular favorite with the public. The program of welcome included an inspiring address by Governor B. W. Hooper, address by the Hon. A. B. Johnson, acting for the mayor, representatives from the various educational institutions, religious bodies and the Negro board of trade. Resolutions were adopted in reference to the death of the late Mrs. Phillips, expressing love and affection for Bishop Phillips in the severe loss which he sustains in the death of his wife. The missionary program dealt with timely topics relating to that feature of church work—race conditions and progress. The crowning feature of this unique and profitable festival was the magnificent reception tendered the delegates and many of the leading families in Nashville by Bishop Phillips and his daughters at their beautiful $10,000 home, among the handsomest in the south and located in one of the best residential sections of Nashville. Over three hundred guests were entertained. Miss L Eunna Phillips presided over this host of diners with ease and great dignity. The Negro board of trade also entertained the delegates and visitors royally with trolley rides and an excursion and banquet at Hadley park, one of Nashville's exclusive resorts. Woman's night also came in for its full share of the good things in literary, spiritual and social uplift which the occasion afforded. ENERGETIC BUSINESS MAN. Success of Joseph S. Fennell, Who Uses Modern Methods. Baltimore.-Modern business methods are beginning to play a more potent part in the life of the men of the race who have ventured into business pursuits. In most all sections men are coming to the front who are slowly, but surely, showing that they have in them the material that characterizes men who do things. Probably in no line is the desire to be modern in every particular more evident than among the comparatively few men of the race who have entered the drug business. Up to date methods, fine equipment and pleasing service have combined to make these places an indication of what the future offers to the young federal business man. In Baltimore, where there is a number of drug stores run by Afro-Americans, each is aiming to keep up a pace equal to that of the best. This is strikingly evident in the one run by Joseph S Fennell on Druid Hill avenue and Biddle street. This corner has been occupied by a drug store for the past seventy years. Mr. Fennell bought the property three years ago and made a number of improvements. It is now one of the best establishments of its kind in Baltimore. Through a desire to please as well as to anticipate every need of a customer he has built up a business of no mean yearly volume. An idea of the regard that some southern whites have for progressive colored business men was evidenced by a middle aged white man who was showing an elderly white woman the sights of the city a few weeks ago. "See that drug store over there?" he said. "That is run by a colored man. All the clerks are colored, and it is one of the host in the city." That spoke volumes for the man or men of the race who do things so as to attract the attention of discriminating whites north or south. Mr. Fennell was born on a farm near West River, Md. For a number of years he was a waiter and, being of frugal habits, saved quite a sum. He is an ardent Knights of Pythias, and his store will be the headquarters during the session of the supreme lodge here the latter part of August. New Military Regulations in France. During their enlistment the colored regiments of the French colonies will be saffroned in Paris. This decision was reached by Minister of War M Ellenno after completing his plans for putting into operation the government's new three year military service measure. It is said that colored soldiers are well liked and very popular in France. The new plan includes the bringing into service in France, soldiers from the colonies of Guiana, Reunion island, Guadeloupe and Martinique. The most fleaiful cemetery in Baltimore.
