THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXII NO. 2 MEDICAL MEN HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Nashville Opens its Doors to the Visiting Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists MAYOR HOWZE DELIVERS WELCOME ADDRESS Dr. C. V. Roman and Others help Make Stay of the Visitors (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Nashville Tenn. Sept. 3. After most profitable session the fifteenth annual meeting of the National Medical Association came to an end last Thursday night. The next session will be held at Raleigh, N.C. Representative physicians, pharmacists and dentists attended from all sections of the country. Dr. J. C. Robinson was the only Baltimore present. F. W. Ragland of Birmingham, Ala., opened with a discussion of the subject, "Professional and Commercial Pharmacy had kept pace with the professions and sciences with which it was allied and that too often it labored under the handicap of being under estimated. He pointed to the fact now that there was scarcely a city of any size in the South where there was not one or two flourishing pharmacies, and that their success would increase as the schools more and more attracted better and better materia. One of the most important papers read before the convention was that of Dr. L. L. Burwell. a successful practitioner from Selma, Ala. on "The Fertility of Woman: Its Effect, Physically and Morally, Upon the Nation." "Woman is no longer looked upon as mere chattel," said Dr. Burwell, "but the equal of man. While this change has given woman greater liberties and knowledge of herself, it has allowed certain fashions to creep in which, if not checked will bring her back to the primeval period." "Abdominal Excision of the Kidney," being a report by Dr. A.M. Brown, of Birmingham, upon a very unusual operation evoked much discussion in the surgical section during the afternoon. The addresses were made by Dr. C. G. Daleley, of Chicago, on the subject "The History of the Appendix and Report of Several Interesting Cases," with the discussion led by Dr. Vall Do Turner of St. Paul. Minn., and a paper by Dr. W. H. Johnson, of Charleston, S. C., on "Rare Extra Peritoneal Tumor of Unusual Size." "Medicine is religion," said Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, as he introduced the Rev. Dr. Robert H. Mitchel, of Bowling Green, Ky., moderator of the Kentucky Baptist General Association, who led in prayer, at the reception tendered the delegates to the National Negro Medical Association at the Spruce street Baptist Church. Mayor Howse, in his welcome address, declared that Nashville could boast for as many representative Negro physicians and Surgeons as any other city in the country and that in taxpayers, men of business integrity and of much worth to the community. "In our affairs here in Nashville, we know no race, no creed," said the Mayor. "We are trying to do something here for every class of our citizenship. I represent every class of our citizenship and as Chief MD. ODD FELLOWS ENDORSE MORRIS W. E.

PYTHIANS HOLD SESSION Harmony Prevails at Biennial Meeting of Eastern and Western Hemisphere Pythians. W. A. HAWKINS AGAIN SUPREME CHANCELLOR Various Reports Show Condition of the Order to Be Extremely Good. Philadelphia, September 5. Delegates from every section of the country were here this week attending the fifteenth annual session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Supreme Court of Calanthe, Eastern and Western Hemispheres. While the session was not as largely attended as was that of the other wing of the order at Baltimore last week, the utmost harmony prevailed and the reports showed that the order was in a flourishing condition. The session opened with a sermon by Rev. Dr. W. Spencer Carpenter Allen A. M. E. Church Sunday night. Following the sermon Dr. Carpenter introduced Supreme Chancellor W. Ashbie Hawkins, of Baltimore, as "a man who had successfully conducted the legal fight against segregation in Baltimore." Formal welcoming services were held Monday, and the same evening a reception was tendered the visiting delegates. Supreme Chancellor Hawkins in his biennial address Wednesday made a general review of the status of the order. The other Supreme officers made their reports. The fraternal and beneficial department reported that claims amounting to $14,000 had been met, that not a dollar was owed and that a handsome balance remained in the treasury. The offices of the secretary and treasury of this department were created. A memorial services were held at Cherry Memorial Baptist Church Tuesday night.

J., September 4.—The Monumental Band, of Baltimore, was awarded the prize for being the best band in the Elks parade last Thursday. Some dispute arose over the decision of the judges, and the Baltimore contingent gratefully agreed to take second honors. The Grand Lodge of Elks held its closing session last Friday, following the installation of officers for the ensuing year. There were a number of changes in the personne of the officers. T. G. Nutter, an attorney of Charleston, W. Va., was elected grand exalted ruler to succeed Harry H. Pace, of Memphis who declined a re-election. He was opposed by Armand W.

Unlike Baltimore and other cities did not have the opportunity to get the $25,000 offer by Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, but those interested have worked with a will. The cost of the original property was $9,000. The cost of improvements and building was $30,000. The building contains a modern kymnasium 40x57 feet, three hand ball courts, a swimming pool 20x34, ten shower baths, with hot and cold water available the year round, 5 lavatories a pool and billard room, a reading room, fortv-six sleeping rooms, a restaurant and kitchen, social rooms, educational class rooms, committee rooms, boy's work room, public offices, Secretary's office, engine room and cold storage room. The membership fee is $5 per year, and already hundreds of young colored men and boys have been enrolled in the membership. The rooms rent for $1.25 to $2 per week, and have been fully occupied from the time the building was opened. Back tothe Ark with Noah Nashville, Tenn., September 5. "Get into the ark with Noah" is the slogan of the friends of Noah Cooper, a native of South Carolina, who wants to wrest the mayoralty nomination from Mayor Hilary A. Howze in the municipal primaries next week. Mayor Howze, it is claimed, has let the saloons run wide open during his regime. The colored people here assert that he has been most fair to them, especially along the lines of education, and that they want him reelected. Noah Cooper asserts that vice has run rampant under the Howse regime, that the arrests of colored people have been too numerous on the account of the existence of the saloon, and that murders are too frequent. He further asserts that the present Mayor is not interested in the moral uplift of the colored and white people. His mind then runs back to Biblical times, and he tells of the ark that Noah of old built when the world was destroyed on account of sin. He concludes, with an appeal to get into the ark of civic decency with Noah of Nashville, but formerly of Governor Please's State. NOTED SECRET ORDER LEADER DISCIPLE OF STRINGER. Biennial Convention of the Order Held in Baltimore Was Attended by Many Notable Men—Mississippi Given Credit as Being the Birthplace of Pythianism Among Afro-Americans. Meridinn, Miss.-The supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias, which held its biennial meeting in Baltimore from Aug. 26 to 30, was composed of some of the most noted men of the race from various sections of the country. Perhaps it is not generally known that Pythianism had its beginning among our people in this state. Therefore it was quite in keeping with the marvelous growth of the order that Mississippi should send to the Baltimore meeting some of the best known members of the order in the state. Among those in attendance at the recent session was Grand Chancellor John W. Harris of this place, one of the most remarkable men in this state. By hard work along all practical lines for racial uplift and for the good of the order Mr. Harris stands in the front rank. Although a native of Marion, Ala., most of his life has been spent in and around Meridian. He received the rudiments of his early M. B. education in the public schools here and afterward attended the Meridian academy. Like most young men coming out of school, it was a question with him what to do for support to make a mark in life. The drug business was an inviting field, so he tried it for five years before he discovered that it was not his calling, and then he tried the mercantile business. During this time he figured in everything that had in it any elements of good or racial advancement. He was one of the men who followed Thomas W. Stringer into the Knights of Fythias, so when the grand lodge was organized he was one of the first to enroll. Step by step he went up in the order and served for nine years in the position of grand keeper of records and seal. When Grand Chancellor Jones died, in 1906, the men decided that John W. Harris was the man to fill the place, and after a ballot battle he was elevated over Vice Grand Chancellor Dr. E. B. Topp, editor of the Baptist Reporter, Jackson. Dr. Topp congratulated him and pledged loyal support, which he has given, thereby making the Mississippi grand lodge one of the strongest in the country. Harris was one of the supreme representatives in the supreme lodge when it was held in Chicago and was later recognized by the supreme lodge in Indianapolis, Ind., which made him a member of the supreme temple commission. The grand lodge of Mississippi has flourished under his able leadership. The receipts for the endowment department alone for the past twelve months amounted to $123,000, saying nothing of the grand lodge money proper. Grand Chancellor Harris has not been asleep, for he has invested in some good real estate and owns a beautiful home. His daughter recently completed a course of Wiley university and is one of the clerks in his office, and Mrs. Harris is a teacher in the Meridian academy, being one of the best posted women in the state. Not only in the Knights of Pythias, but Mr. Harris is active in the Odd Fellows and Masons, being an active worker in both as well as other organizations in the state. In the district grand lodge of G. U. O. G. F. he is a director, and in the Masons he was worshipful master of a lodge in Meridian for nine years, during which time he induced the lodge to purchase a cemetery which now pays a revenue sufficient to run the lodge without taxing the members even for dues. This was a good investment and has won for him a place in the hearts of the people. There are but few lodges in the country with sufficient business to carry all of its members without payment of monthly dues. S. H. Highland of Vicksburg is the grand master of exchequer and a friend of Grand Chancellor Harris. MEETING OF WOMEN'S CLUBS Northeastern Body Makes Progress Northeastern Body Makes Progress honored by Mayor of Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass.-The recent annual meeting of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs held here was a gratifying success. The federation was the guest of the following clubs: The Carriage circle, Etude club, Heart and Hand conference Young Ladies' Imperial club, Penta costal association, Pentacostal auxiliary, Seeds of Kindness club and the Sherwin Hyde Co-operative club. Mrs. Clelyc S. Gunner of Hilburn N. Y., presided. The sessions of each day were full of interest. The heads of the various departments held interesting and helpful conferences. The mothers' department conference was most ably led by Mrs. Minnie T Wright of Boston. The juvenile department, Mrs. Christiana Goode Harris of Stamford, Conn., in her report of the work done by the various clubs showed increasing interest. The educational department, Miss Ella S. Wilson, chairman, reported good work done along educational lines. The philanthropic department Mrs. Ernestine Ross, New Haven Conn., chairman. The clubs gave an outline of the splendid work done along this line. The department for the suppression of lynching, Professor Adena C. E. Minott. New York, held a very enthu slastic and beneficial conference. Other departments of the federation are the arts and crafts, which had on exhibition some very excellent work done by the men and women of our race. The business department, ways and means and temperance each gave excellent reports. The first evening, under the auspices of the citizens' committee, a reception was tendered the delegates, preceded by a pageant taken from "The Narrative of the Negro," a book published by Mrs. Leah Pendleton of Washington. The pageant was designed by Miss Nora Williams and directed by Mrs. Edith Shade. It was realistic showing plainly the life of the slave on the plightations and the advance made in fifty years of freedom. The convention was honored with the presence of Hon. J. Edward Barry, mayor of Cambridge, who gave the address of welcome in behalf of the citizens and closed his remarks with an invitation to the delegates and visiting friends to be his guests on a four hour trolley ride in order to see the cities of Cambridge and Boston and subur ban towns; also a boat ride down the Boston harbor was arranged by ex Mayor Wardwell of Cambridge, who gave a stirring address and spoke encouragingly of the work of the Northern Federation of Women's Clubs. Some of the other special features of the convention were the conference on Bible reading by Mrs. Annie Hall which was both instructive and interesting; also a lecture by Dr. Alice W McKane, a closed lecture for women only. Special memorial services were held for Harriet Tubman and others who have passed away during the year. EMANCIPATION EXPOSITION TO OPEN MONDAY, SEPT. 15 Celebration in Philadelphia Will Have Many Notable Features. Philadelphia.—The officials of the emancipation exposition commission in this city have announced Monday. Sept. 15, as the date for opening the exposition. The celebration should have commenced Aug. 18, but the buildings were not finished in time. It was the original intention of the commission to have the National Negro Business league hold the first session of its fourteenth annual meeting in one of the exposition buildings. The opening day of the exposition will be governors' day, and the Hon. John K. Tener, governor of Pennsylvania, will be the chief speaker, as it was he who signed the bill legalizing the assembly appropriation of $85,000 for the expense of the celebration. The governors of New Jersey and New York have been invited to attend on the opening day. The emancipation sermon will be preached by Bishop Levi J. Coppin of the A. M. E. church on Sunday, Sept. 14. Among the leading features of the celebration will be the sociological and religious conferences and the congress of women. Some of the organizations which will take part are the National Nurses' association, the National Medical association, the Business Clerks' association and the National Press association. The eight buildings in which the exposition will be held are the work of colored men. The contract for the erection of these buildings is said to be the largest ever awarded to a member of the race in the north. The three main structures are an administrative building, an agricultural building and a concert hall. The contractor is W. J. Robinson, and C. Henry Wilson, Jr. is the architect. The subcontractors and foremen are all members of the race. This in itself is a great exhibit of the ability of colored men not only to build, but to manage, such as has never been seen in the city of Philadelphia or in the north. It is quite a novel scene, and hundreds of people have flocked to the grounds to see the mechanics at work. Exposition Managers Encouraged. The commissioners in charge of the arrangements for emancipation proclamation exposition in New York the last ten days of October are receiving much encouragement from the public. The success of the exposition is assured. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER POTENT FORCES IN EDUCATION ECONOMY IN THE MOVEMENT Commissioner of Education Begins Systematic Study of Problem by Request of Dr. Dillard of the Jeanes and Slater Fund Board—Plan Benefits the General Public. The United States bureau of education in co-operation with the Phelps-Stokes fund is now making a comprehensive study of the private and higher schools for colored people. This study is undertaken in response to numerous and insistent demands for knowledge of these schools, the number of which is constantly increasing. Thoughtful people of the south and of the north, white and colored, are more and more puzzled as to the merits and demerits of the many appeals for money and sympathy in behalf of all sorts and conditions of institutions for the race. Letters from state superintendents of education in the south emphasize the need of a complete survey of the whole field. At a conference of the representatives of some of these schools held in New York last spring, it was the consensus of opinion that there is much duplication of educational efforts in some sections, but much more of neglect in many other sections. Every educational board interested in the colored people and almost every individual who contributes to this cause is calling for information. After considerable discussion of this need by Dr. Dillard of the Jeanes fund and the Slater board, and by other representatives of the "conference for education in the south," it was decided to appeal to the United States commissioner of education for a thorough study of the private and higher schools for Afro-Americans. Commissioner Claxton's intimate knowledge of every phase of education in the south enabled him to understand the importance of this request, and he immediately began to make plans for the study now under way. A remarkable evidence of the importance of this survey is the fact that about the same time two other important organizations interested in colored schools decided to assemble information on this subject. Dr. J. H. Dillard, secretary of the Slater board, obtained permission of that body to begin the study. It was at this time also that the trustees of the Phelps-Stokes fund, confronted by appeals from all sorts and conditions of schools, decided to make a thorough survey of the situation. As the fund is of recent origin, a word of explanation may be necessary at this point. This Phelps-Stokes fund is the residuary estate, amounting to about $1,000,000, bequeathed by Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes of New York city for various philanthropic purposes, among which is the education of Negroes. Most of the appropriations made up to date have contributed directly or indirectly, to a cluerer knowledge of colored schools. Gifts to the Universities of Virginia and Georgia and to the Penbody college, in Nashville, are for the maintenance of fellowships and research work in the field of Negro education. The co-operation of the bureau of education and the Phelps-Stokes fund is the result of the close relationship of the representatives of the Slater board, the conference for education in the south and the trustees of the Phelps-Stokes fund with each other and with Commissioner Claxton. Through this co-operation unnecessary duplication is avoided, and time, effort and money are saved. The work is done under the immediate direction of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, a native of Wales and a naturalized citizen of the United States, who was educated both in southern and northern institutions and has devoted a number of years to the educational and economic condition of the Negroes in the United States. His studies and observations, extending over several years in the census bureau and in the United States bureau of education, will be especially useful in this study of schools. An exhaustive schedule of questions in regard to the schools has been prepared with much care and is being filled by Dr. Jones and those associated with him, after careful investigation of the schools made by them. These questions relate to the history of the schools, their present condition, their management, their religious and social activities and the work of graduates and former students. When sufficient data have been collected a report will be printed and published, giving a brief but accurate survey of each school, of its equipment, its work and its place in the educational system of the city, county or state in which it is located. Annual Convention of Women's Clubs. The Pennsylvania State Federation of Women's Clubs held its tenth annual convention on Wednesday, Aug. 27. The organization was the guest of St. Matthew's A. M. E. Zion church. Sewickley, Pa. Delegates from the various clubs made encouraging reports. A MOCK ELOPEMENT By MARTHA BILLINGS Jim Dunlap was a hardworking farmer boy. His father died when Jim was very young, and the boy was obliged to scratch early for a living. He worked hard and studied nights, for there was ambition in Jim, though no one would have suspected it. Nevertheless he seemed content with hard work and not inclined to take a stand above mediocrity. May Stanley was the belle of the village. The moment Jim Dunlap saw her he fell in love with her. Now, while Jim Dunlap was a plodder, with nothing brilliant whatever about him, May was a little witch. She was witty, droll and much inclined to mischief. Her face was a mirror for her thoughts. Nevertheless if she had a preference for any of the young men of the village—there were no newcomers—none of her friends could discover it. But a girl, be she ever so communicative on other subjects, may keep that one secret deep hidden in her breast. As has been said, there was one young man with whom she was never associated in the minds of her friends. That was Jim Dunlap. Indeed, she had been heard to very unfeelingly apply to him the name of "sorrel top." While Jim was plowing by day and a student by night, a gangling, awkward man of twenty, Walter Swift, the son of a neighboring well to do farmer, was getting ready to leave college with a degree. He came home with a good deal of celat, with a fraternity badge on his chest and a reputation for scholarship. The girls looked for him to take an interest in May Stanley as the only one of their number capable of attracting one who had a university cut about him and more citified manners than any of the rest. But some of them declared that he wouldn't look at May even. These latter he disappointed by not only looking at her, but looking at her with longing eyes. There was that in her that attracted both sexes—a reckless, helter skelter, devil-may-care way she had, which is always fascinating in young persons, especially to young persons. Swift's appearance fresh from college tended to put Jim Dunlap by comparison only further in the background. His joints seemed larger, his hair redder, while his freckles seemed like brown autumn leaves that some one had trumped all over his face. Not that he appeared to feel any inferiority, for he plodded in the same awkward way as before. It was rather a feeling in those who saw the two young men in contrast. That winter after Swift's coming home was a gay one among the younger set of the village. It isn't every small town that can number a full fledged college graduate among its social attractions, and Swift, who has played his share of pranks while at the university, originated a good many methods of amusement. When the winter was drawing to a close and Lent was coming on the boys and girls were wondering what they would do by way of a carnival. One of their number suggested that they have a fancy dress ball, but they had had one the year before and wanted something newer. Swift came to the rescue by proposing an elopement. "An elopement!" all exclaimed at once. "What do you mean by that?" "In colonial times," he said, "when a couple were married to the custom for the bride and groom to race with the guests for a tuvern, the party reaching the goal last to pay for a supper. I propose that we select a couple to elope (for fun, of course) and run for the Beaver inn, the rest to follow, the supper to be paid for as in colonial times." The idea was accepted with enthusiasm. May Stanley was just the girl to play the part of the bride, and the proposer of the scheme was the man for the groom. May was chosen, but Swift was not. While he was the admiration of the girls, the boys were inclined to be jealous of him. But the boys couldn't settle upon one of their own number—each desiring to be the eloper—till some one in jest nominated Dunlap. All laughingly assented, and it was considered that there would be more fun with him for groom than any of the others. He would make the affair more ridiculous. Tuesday night before the opening of Lent Jim saddled two horses, one with a woman's saddle, and at 10 o'clock pulled up under May Stanley's window. She jumped down into his arms, he put her on one of the horses, and away they galloped. At the same hour and minute the rest of the party started from an equidistant point, both making for the Beaver inn. Jim and May stopped for twelve minutes by the way; but, having been given the advantage of the best road and Jim making a cut across fields, the elopers arrived first. "My friends." said Jim. "I'll pay for the supper, for this is the happiest night of my life. May and I stopped by the way at a parson's just long enough to be married." No one considered his words in ear nest, and all set up a shout, but May produced a certificate that was passed around among the girls, and at last it began to be understood that the pair were married. "For heaven's sake, where and when did they do their courting?" was the universal question. Jim Dunlap is now a judge on the bench.

Teachers home from their vacations, look out small boy, your time is short. The K. P. had the usual fight for offices on hand but that is general everywhere. It came out all rght. "Fighting" John Mitchell was on hand and they all knew it. John says he has only just begun to fight. One of the K. P.'s said he did not think there were any good looking women in Baltimore, but, when he attended the Military Ball he took it all back and said, when it comes to good looking women, Baltimore is on the map in capital letters. Some men are never satisfied unless they are starting something. Comptroller Thrift wants segregation on the street cars as well as in the residential districts. We are no prophet, but we venture the assertion he will get neither. There is too much fight in the colored people of this city to sit down and let adverse legislation pass without making an effort to put it to the test in the law courts. DESERVE MUCH CREDIT The Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of the E. & W. H., E., A., A., & A., and the National Enclosure which held its sessions in this city last week deserve the greatest credit for the number in which these two bodies conducted themselves. It has been said that no large number of colored people can get together without unpleasant happenings. We are proud to say that no large body of men have assembled in this city a recent year which did more credit to themselves than did the Knights of Pythias, and we are here to give them full credit for it. The parade was the feature of the meeting, and the splendid conduct and soldierly bearing elicited praises from all classes, white and colored. The local committee worked hard to make it pleasant for the visitors from the chairman, Col. George Watry, down to the humblest mem- and if there were any mistakes made, to use the common phrase, they were of the head and not of the heart. GOOD THING. KEEP IT UP In view of the fact that but few states allow colored men to enlist as soldiers, it is well that such men as Major General Jackson of Chicago and Brigadier General Williams of this city, are able to get together so large a number of the men of the race and bring them under such discipline as to have a regular camp every two years where military instruction can be given. The main and probably the sole purpose of the whites to keep us out of the military ranks is to keep us from having a training they are giving even the boys of their race. This to a certain extent, keeps us helpless and the mercy of any who might happen to be our enemies. The Uniformed rank, K. P., and the Patriarchie of the Odd Fellows, to a limited extent supply this need, and we are going to have a few well drilled men in case of emergency. If Uncle Sam should want us we will be prepared to put in the field, not only a few soldiers, but men able to command them. Fill up these ranks gentlemen and let us have more well disciplined men, and besides it helps in other ways. HELP QUICKLY The fall season will soon be here; vacations will be over, and folks will be getting down to hard work again for the winter season. Now let us get busy and get the balance of the Young Men's Christian Association money. It is needed, and if we can succeed in getting in about six or seven thousand dollars of it this winter, the spring will see the building going up and we will have something to feel proud of besides a place where our young men and boys can spend a pleasant evening besides dance halls and pool rooms. Father, mother, it means much to your sons that this building shall go up and be finished as soon as possible. Come on now with that subscription They have fine buildings in Chicago, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, Washington, and a fine one going up in Philadelphia. We can do the same, if you will only do your part, and we know Baltimore is not going to be left. COLORED MAN NOT WANTED Back again at their old business. The Republicans of the First Congressional District have opened headquarters at the Emmerson Hotel, which means that no colored people are wanted. No decent colored man is going to a hotel or other place where he is going to be insulted. Any party that opens political headquarters where the members of that particular party cannot come and be welcomed, means that they do not want them. That is as plain as the nose on one's face. Up to the present, from all appearances, neither of the several political parties are making any pretense of having the colored Brother very much in evidence. So mote it be. If they do not want us now, they will not want us on election day, and we can then make our own choice as to who we will vote for without being blamed afterward for the defeat of any party. The colored voter can well afford to be independent along through these murrows. MOVING UP A BIT We have passed our majority. Fail twenty-one years have passed over our heads and we feel that we are just coming into manhood. Standing the brunt of many lean years when we wondered whether we would ever be able to reach the age of youth, much less manhood, we have come through and today we are standing on sure ground looking back over the years that have passed and onward to a brighter future coming from a strong, vigorous manhood. The Afro-American Leader thanks to the good people of Lodiinao, has not only reached its majority, but entered a new year full of vigor and energy ready in the future we in, the past to do our full duty to we may see it for manhood and for the race. If we have been able to do anything in the past, we have, by a continuance of the fame of our people, to do even more in the future, and we know that you are going to help us do it. For it is only by the help of the people of the community that any paper can stand, and standing, be able to do full duty for the principles it represents. In the future, as in the past, we shall endeavor to give the people a better paper, more news and better news. We shall at all times stand as a bulwark for the rights of the people we represent, and we shall at no time wear any man's collar, political or otherwise. Our hands are free and like the good old Dublin Irishman wiht a head whenever we see one that ought to be hit. Thanking the good people of Baltimore for past favors we shall endeavor to earn more of them as the days go by. Watch us grow. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION AT LUTHERVIL Delegates In Attendance From All Parts of A Hot Fight In A hot fight is being waged for the position of Republican State Central Committeeman in the Seventeenth ward. David T. Harrod is opposing James Young who has the backing of Councilman Harry S. Cummings. Mr. Young has been executive for the ward since the late Richard J. Dyott gave up the reins. He has been waging an active fight. The friends of Mr. Harrod have been making an active canvass and claim that they are going to win. They assert that Mr. Young is merely a figurehead as an executive Councilman Cummings being the real boss and that is needed is a man who will take the reins and run things without dictation. The friends of the latter claim however that he measures up to the requirements and that he has been a potent factor in keeping intact the present Republican organization in the ward. Whatever the outcome of the primaries next Monday it seems evident that Councilman Harry S Cummings will face the strongest fight of his career should he seek a renomination in 1915. W. M; M. S.

In a two to one vote Columbus, O., triumphed over Dallas, Tex., as the place for holding the next biennial session. The last day was spent principally in discussing proposed changes in the constitution of the order. An amendment was adopted refusing past chancellors, except when delegates, the right to vote at grand lodge sessions. LAWSUIT IMMINENT. John Mitchell and the delegates from the suspended Virginia Grand Lodge waited in vain for admission. The Supreme Lodge contented that Virginia owed $3,000 in taxes. The representatives from that State tendered $2,500 as full payment, which was refused. Mr. Mitchell and his grand lodge were suspended some months following refusal to pay taxes and an allegation by Mr. Mitchell that the affairs of the Supreme Lodge had been extravagantly managed. In the closing hours of the session the delegates voted to sustain the suspension of Virginia and to order the dissolution of its Grand Lodge. John Mitchell, through his attorneys then fied notice with Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green that injunction proceedings would be filed in the United States Court, at Richmond, Va., September 25. There were three candidates for supreme chancellor. C. K. Robinson, who was succeeded by Dr. E. E. Underwood as supreme keeper of records and seal, was placed in nomination by A. W. Lloyd, grand chancellor for Missouri. His name was withdrawn. J. Rupert Jefferson, of West Virginia, ran against S. W. Green, receiving 25 votes to the latter's 67. George A. Watty, grand chancellor for Maryland, was rewarded for his work in entertaining the session here with election to the position of supreme master-at-arms. The new supreme keeper of records and seal, is native of Ohio, but has been practicing medicine in Frankfort, Ky., since his graduation from the medical department of Western Reserve University nearly 25 years ago. He is prominent in political and fraternal affairs. He has been assistant city physician in Frankfort, secretary of board of pension surgeons and was one of the Big Four from his State of the Republican National convention in 1904. He wrote the endowment plan under which Kentucky K. P.'s have accumulated $60,000. Mr. Watty is a native of this city, and has been grand chancellor for the past six years. During his regime the order in Maryland has prospered, numerically and financially. The remaining officers, as published in a late issue of the Afro-American Ledger last week are: Joseph L. Jones, Cincinnati, supreme vice chancellor; Dr. J. A. Ward, Indianapolis supreme medical examiner; J. L. Mitchell, Austin, Tex., supreme lecturer; John H. Young, Pine Bluff, Ark., supreme master of encyclopedia; Rev. A. H. Newton, Campton, N. J., supreme prelate; T. A. Lattre, Winston Salem, N. C., supreme inner guard; J. W. Murray, Jacksonville Fl., supreme outer guard and R. R. Jackson Chicago major general of uniform rank. Thinks No trees Should Edward E. Reed, Yale 76, thinks that efforts should be made to save a desirable part of South Africa as a country for colored people. He points out that the colored people of this country like to hear a little of African as possible, but that they should be primarily interested in all that takes place in the bitherto Dark Continent. He says that officials of the United States and English governments should be interested in a plan to have colored people emigrate to South Africa. Mr. Reed was classmate at Yale with President Taft. He is a deep student of the sciences and the movement of the the world along political and economic lines. Convention Sidelights Money was voted out with a lavish hand at the closing session. S. A. T. Watkins, the supreme attorney, was given $3,500 for his successful efforts in preventing the outlawing of the order in Tennessee and Georgia. Lovely Mackey, owns a few hundred acres of land down in Oklahoma. He owns 92 acres of oil land and is prosperous. He says that when the National Negro Business League meets in his home town—Muscogee—next fall the delegates will receive a royal welcome, but that they had better leave their "likker" at home as it is in the prohibited territory of the United States government. Edward E. McDaniel is a railroad contractor out in Arkansas, and it is said that he does well. Everything was O. K. except Shadyside say the uniform men. The First Pennsylvania Band and the Eighth Illinois Regiment Band received ovations as they serenaded folks. Thomas R. and Wallace Smith were the happiest men in town last week as they met hundreds who were taking a look at their fine hotel for the first time. Ford Dabney met a number who journeyed to take a look at the establishment erected by the late Joseph Gans. The military ball at the Lyric caused the fashion plates to shine. Truly Hatchett, of the social committee, deserves credit for his efforts. "We hope Druid Hill avenue will be paved when we come back again," was the parting expression of one delegate. The Afro-American Ledger was praised on all sides for its comprehensive reports of the proceedings. It had papers on the street within an hour after the election of officers containing the same and other news. When the news of the election was received it was immediately set up on the typesetting machine, the presses stopped, and the latest tidings inserted. Captain James A. Sanford and the J. B. Foraker Company, of Syracuse, N. Y., made fine appearance. A company from Pittsburg was the victor in the drill contest last Friday night. The local lodges of Knights of Pythias, Eastern and Western Hemispheres show their fraternal spirit by decorating their hall, 1140 Druid Hill avenue. The reception tendered the visiting P. P. Masons was largely attended. Grand Master J. P. Evans, his cabinet and Imperial Potentate J. H. Murphy were on hand to greet the visitors. Chancellor Green Very Much Pleased "I must congratulate Baltimore for its efforts to entertain the Knights of Pythias," Supreme Chancellor Green told a reporter of the Afro-American Ledger, just before he left for Atlantic City Monday evening. "You have fine and hospitable homes" he continued, "and the municipality did nobly in making our stay pleasant. The parade was one of the finest I have seen especially the civic feature." Mr. Green also took occasion to praise the Afro-American Ledger in furnishing news of the session up to the minute. He also said that the hackmen tried to gouge the percussion when they charged $10 a carriage. He asserted however, that he would see that there would be no such prices at Columbus, O., where the next session will be held. Washington, Virginia, September 5, 1913—The Tenth Colony Board, give a concert last Wednesday evening, on the Adams lot, south Market street in front the Five Daughters Church. The concert was followed by all the elections of Winchester, who were present. Misha Kovacs Pavilion, and Mr. Isaac Lasson were responsible for making a fine concert appeal. The Annual Women's Day at Saint Paul A. M. B. Church, was the finest ever given in said church. Miss Emma I. Packe, is visiting relatives and friends at Luray, Va. Overspecializing Specialists. A technically trained engineer has constantly to combat a tendency toward narrowness of view point if he desires to cultivate a wide mental horizon. He has to avoid a complete absorption in detail to the exclusion of the larger relations of his work if he will advance along broad lines, and still he must not neglect details which are essential. The man with the capacity to see the unusual and the significant, the chap with imagination and enterprise enough to look at the relations of his own duties to the welfare of the concern as a whole is the one selected to go higher when the inevitable changes of industrial life come. Overspecialization often leads to undue emphasis upon the importance of individual tasks in given departments; to a lack of interest outside immediately vital responsibilities; to long continued employment at stated compensation perhaps, and not seldom to final replacement before middle age is past by men with less experience in single grooves, but with better comprehens mental relations and the essential effective use of often w The most marvelous tree in the world is the Carnahuba palm, which grows in Brazil. Its roots produce the same medicinal effect as sarsaparilla. From parts of the tree wine and vinegar are made. Its fruit is used for feeding cattle. Of the straw, hats, baskets, brooms and mats are made. It is also used for thatching houses. The pulp has an agreeable taste, and the nut is sometimes used as a substitute for coffee. Its stems afford strong light fibers and serve also for joists, rafters and other building materials. It yields a saccharine substance, as well as a starch resembling sago. Of the wood of the stem musical instruments, water tubes and pumps are made. From the stem a white liquid similar to milk of the coconut may be extracted. Moreover, salt is extracted from the tree and likewise an alkali used in the manufacture of common soap. Globular Lightning. Professor Thomson says of this rare phenomenon, the reality of which has frequently been called in question, that, after having been for a long time in doubt about it, his doubts have disappeared. The nearest he has ever come to observing a "lightning ball" was the hearing of its explosion. The ball itself was seen by a friend, who happened to be looking in the right direction when Professor Thomson himself was looking another way. No rational hypothesis, he says, exists to explain such a phenomenon, as there is nothing in the laboratory which closely resembles it. From descriptions the balls appear to vary from one inch to one foot in diameter. When they disappear there is usually an explosion, generally with slight damage. Some have been described as entering buildings and going out of a door or window—London Spectator. Famed For Her Dancing. Countess Lambsdorf, who in her youth was an eithusiastic dancer, states in her memoirs that prior to her marriage she attended 225 balls, and after her wedding 657 more. At the different dances she received eightteen offers of marriage. This was before her marriage. Afterward 272 men sent her love letters, and a hundred of her admirers threatened to shoot themselves in their despair. The number of dances which the countess takes to her credit is stupendous. Altogether she took part in 2,934 square dances, 4,500 waltzes and 600 politas, her partners numbering 1,700. Of the latter she describes 1,200 us stupid, 300 boresome, 120 offensive, 22 nice and 3 witty. Countess Lambsdorf estimates the total distance danced by her at not less than 16,000 miles. Safe Assumption Apropos of a marriage that threatened to turn out badly, a society woman uttered an appropriate and very true epigram. "So Mr. Blanc," she said, "is saying at the club that he's sorry he ever married." Then she sailed and added: "Well, when a man tells his friends he's sorry he married it's safe to assume that his wife is sorry too."—New York Tribune. "How do you want your eggs?" ask the waiter. "Soft boiled," replied the man, who dislikes the cold storage system. "And see that I get 'em that way. Those you served me yesterday morning were merely thawed."—Washington Star. Gronchy Parent—No, sir, my daughter shall not marry you. Suih—But your daughter wishes to marry me, sir, and she told me just now that you would deny her nothing. Gronchy Parr—That, sir, is precisely what I am going—Estron Transcript. "That man surely is a philosopher." "Been giving you some good advice?" "No. He's in great trouble himself and he's actually trying to gain and ear it."—Detroit Press Bacily Expressed. Old Aunt (despondently)—Well, I hall not be a unisexe to you much older. Nephew (transmitting)—Don't like like that, aunt; you know you will—Boston Transcript. Catholic Club gives Reception.

Death of a Prominent Musician Prof. Charles Augustus Johnson, for many years organist and choir master of St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church and leader of Johnson's orchestra, died at his home, 432 W. Biddle street, Friday morning, after a lingering illness of nearly two years. Mr. Johnson was one of the oldest organists in the city, and was well known in musical circles. He was treasurer of St. Andrew's Beneficial Society, since its organization. A man of quiet tastes and well liked by all who came in contact with him. He is survived by a wife and two daughters. The funeral will take place Monday afternoon. Illinois Regiment Goes to Camp Springfield, Ill., September 5. —The Eighth Illinois Regiment went into camp for a week here last Saturday, and will continue until this Saturday.

African Methodists from all parts of the State are in the city attending the annual session of the California Conference. A reception was tendered the visitors Wednesday evening and Rev. J. A. Greene preached the missionary sermon last night, Bishop H. B. Parks is presiding. Dr. Bowels Misquoted Dr. George W. Bowels, of York, Pa., was misquoted and misrepresented last week by one of the local papers of his home town, when an article appeared stating that the colored people were planning voluntary segregation. It was afterwards republished in all of the leading papers throughout the country. Dr. Bowels has asked that this statement be co traded through the colored newspapers, as he was entirely misrepresented by one of the local papers. Dr. Bowels is engaged in a great work in his home town aside from practicing his profession. He has worked continually and assiduously for their general uphill—their moral and their financial growth. He with other leading citizens, were planning for better housing conditions of the colored people, but not with any intention whatever of segregating them. If So Let, Mrs. G. E.

I am not far from here when I write this letter, for I am still in Baltimore, but will be away when you read the letter, so I will tell you good bye. This has been to me a busy life and I have seen many things to claim my attention some of them have been good and some have not been so good, but you will just wait until I get through, and when I am through you will know as much as I do about what I have seen if not more. I have had an Old Aunt Dolly time in Baltimore, and all because I have been the guest of Rev. A. L. Gaines, who is indeed a good friend of mine, and who added much to my pleasure. Of course, you will recall that I rolled into the city Sunday morning on the iron horse, and went right on over to East Baltimore, where they were looking for me, and where I was delighted to have them looking for me. Reaching the house I was soon sending something into my eternity. After that into church I went and there I found the people looking for me in church. Some came to hear me preach and others just wanted to get a look into my lily black face. Well they were welcome to do so. I was introduced to the congregation and as I told you about it last week, and about preaching for one of the greatest men of our race in this country, the Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson. He is indeed a great man. It is worth so much to our race to have a man like Dr. Johnson. His people certainly love him. He is a trained man and a good pastor. I need not tell you about the books he has written, because you know all about them and have read them, and if you have not it will pay you to send and get them. He is a thinker, and if you will read after him he will help you think. I do not know much about this education business myself, but I have associated with men who know about it, and I am proud of the opportunities I have had. I have been to so many colleges and schools until I have so much in my head that I do not know how to use it but will do the best I can from time to time. If I do not use it it will not be my fault. All along the street people were pointing at me, as if I was some kind of an animal. They wanted to see me, and so many flock around me, until I am made to think that I am some pumpkins. I went to Fennell's drug store, and he just made me feel right at home in his place, and I don't blame him. He shelled me out the best cream soda he could make. I took hold of it and started to drink, and that cream just turned all out on my nose and some of it got on my pretty white shirt. I tell you I took the cream in my hand and kept it there until I had eaten the rest. Some of it got on the floor and Mr. Fennell just looked at me as if he thought I was getting out of my head, and some ladies who were looking at me said "Poor old man, he is dota ge." I do not know just what it means, but I think they meant to say I was educated. Well, after eating and drinking, I went down the street met the Rev. Dr. W. H. Weaver, who was on a visit to this part of the world. He has been looking around to see the places where he use to be when he was, younger than he is now. Well I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Bell, and others. I got sick, and went to Stokes and Derry's drug store and they had to fix me up some medicine. I took it, and then when I went to pay, they refused to take the money saying that they would pay for it, for it was a pleasure to them to try to keep me on earth a little longer, because the people had gotten so much out of reading my letters in the Afro-American Ledger. I did not see much in them myself. Monday morning, found me feeling much better, so I got up went over to the stable to meet Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, and the girls. In other words I went to meet the Alabama delegation, but instead of meeting her granddaughters, Misses Pauline and Miss Kish who live in Louis were soon on the street wagon going over to meet Mrs. Tuggle and the rest of the delegation. We met them and we soon were straight and the people were all housed. I wish that I could tell you about this experience, but I shall not be able to do so, and you will have to pardon me this time. I attended the open session of the Supreme Lodge, met many people from Mississippi and other places. The first one to claim my attention there was P. W. Howard; from Jackson, Miss. He was there in a large majority. Of course you are acquainted with Howard, because he is one of the best posted lawyers in the country. He is a real lawyer and not a toy. He has been a benefit to his race. I remember many years ago, when he was excluded from Rust University, Holly Springs, Miss., because he spoke out against discrimination on the part of the president. He was a man then, and he is a man now and is ready at all times to defend his race through the courts. I am real proud of him myself; and I am sure that you will be when you know him real well. Then I met John W. Harris, and Rev. E. B. Topp and his son. Well, such is life in the meeting business. I find that I have some real good friends in this world and they seem to like me real well. I could just tell you about these people all day if I had the time to do so. They are simply birds. I would not have the time to tell you all about the supreme lodge, and then I saw the reporters of the Afro-American Ledger around getting the notes an news and I am sure they are giving it to you and all your readers for this week. I saw it, and then I saw them take the place of a daily papers. Because as soon as Dr. E. E. Underwood and the other officers were elected they rushed out the paper with the picture of Dr. Underwood in it. They are doing some newspaper business up here. The officers were elected Friday evening, and the paper was out within one hour after the election with all the officers. This is doing things up in good shape. I was glad indeed to have the pleasure of looking into these. B. D. Madison, of Frankfort, Ky., who is connected with the uniform rank and who is a fine man declared that he could not see how it was done, and I could not see myself but it was done just the same, and I can partly account for it when I tell you that I saw five Murphy heads together, and that ought to make anything happen. Many were the people I shook hands with. Mrs. Wheatley, who is interested in the school work among our people, and who is one of us, served me some good eating at her home, but I am not going to spend time talking about eating, for Mrs. Wheatley also furnished me with some thought about school conditions and the condition of our young people. She is a woman well trained and full of experience, and she is using her education and training for the race, and this is a fine thing in her. I wish you could just see her for yourself, and you would have just one more good time. Well I got through as soon as I could, and then listened to the supreme court. This body was presided over by one of the great men of our race, Joseph L. Jones, a man of experience and ability. He has done much to make the world what it should be and is doing much now. I know you know him, for he is at the head of the Central Regalia Company in Cincinnati, and has given many years of his life to the race, and race people. I am so proud that I know him. The only real work that was done was done in the supreme court, for the supreme lodge did not accomplish so very much during the day, but there were many speeches made. The men just tried to show how well they could make speeches, and people just listened. I wish that I could tell you about the Mitchell case, the Oklahoma case, and many others. W. H. Harrison, from Oklahoma is one of the coming men in the order. He is one of the men of our race who is doing some good work. He is a good lawyer and a christian gentleman, All the week I have looked around to see what I could see, and now that I have seen it, I am ready to start for another part of this busy world. I think I told you in my letter last week to send all mail for me to 15 N. Hill street, Nashville, Tenn. I am informed that there were some letters sent to the Business League which I did not get so send them again, if they have been returned to you. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Mrs. Elenora Edwards, of 248 S.

He has traveled in all parts of the country after fugitives from justice. While here, Mr. Green met a number of old friendsand was kept on the move attending a continual round of functions.
