THEAFROAMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXII. NO. 45 NEW BUILDING FOR HIGH SCHOOL BADLY NEEDED NEW BUILDING FOR HIGH SCHOOL BADLY NEEDED Present Requirement Demand That Something Be Done to Alleviate Wretched Conditions ONLY A FEW PUPILS GRADUATE Statistics Show That Only About One: Sixth of Those Entering The High School Complete The Entire Course. Our Colored High School has the oldest, the smallest and the cheapest of the local secondary schools. The building was erected in 1892 and the shops in 1901, buildings and lot together costing only one-tenth of what has been asked for a new high school. The main building, corner of Dolphin street and Pennsylvania avenue, has been long outgown, necessitating the renting of a dwelling, a church for assembly room, and the use of a portable structure. Ex-Superintendent Van Sickle in 1908 remarked the inadequate housing of the Colored High School which so hampered the work in the department of science, that curtailment of that department was recommended. Last year Assistant Superintendent Miller officially stated that his endeavors would be directed towards obtaining better housing facilities for the school, and Principal Hawkins in urging the inauguration of the initial plans for a new building made the significant statement that three or four years will be required for the completion of the same after the plans have been approved. The average attendance at the High School has grown from 420 in 1908 to 546 in 1913 and the number of teachers from 27 to 30, an increase of 126 and 3 respectively; it follows then that if conditions called for curtailment in 1908 greater abridgment was required in 1918-14, and to the time the plans are approved, three years must be added before we are relieved of the present "ill-adapted and cramped quarters." Meantime the community and the administration apparently assume the attitude of "watchful waiting" and suffer in silence. Partly as the result of the conditions cited above, the number of withdrawals of pupils from the High School reaches astonishing proportions. The following table is enlightening: — BOYS 1912-13 100 44 22 16 1911-12 .97 36 22 21 1910-11 89 49 42 21 1909-10 90 50 19 10 1908-09 85 34 16 14 GIRLS 1912-13 183 102 69 45 1911-12 180 111 66 51 1910-11 219 115 48 41 1909-10 245 107 47 34 1908-99 201 78 48 29 The class that entered the High School in 1909 with 35 members dwindled away to 62 by the time it had reached the fourth year, losing 141 the first year, and 103 the second year. The class of 1914 which last week graduated 54 members who had completed four years work, came to the school in 1910, 308 in number. The 54 who finished the course constituted roughly one-sixth of those who started in 1910, leaving five-sixths of that number who have not enjoyed the full benefit of a secondary school training. The graduates may prove them selves worthy citizens, but it is worth while asking what of the five-sixth who are not graduates. Certainly this school is not fulfilling its mission in this city under such conditions. 77 pupils graduated in 1913, but during the same year more than twice that number, 166 discontinued their work for unknown reasons and only 12 in order to work. This year's class graduated 11 boys from the four year course and only one class in the last five years has graduated more than 14 boys. If it is believed that boys like to dress well and drop out in order to earn sufficient money to clothe themselves as they wish or discontinued on account of a lack of success in their studies, these suppositions are not supported by facts. Rather they do not continue because of a lack of interest, because school work has not proved as vitally connected with every day activity as it should. The school must make its wares so attractive that it outbids other allurments at the same time seeking to impress parents with the necessity of making the required sacrifice. On the other hand the community should continually hold in mind that this is its school, these its children and it alone in the end must bear the blame and the misfortune of lack of training for whatever reason. In 1908, one high school was asked for, in 1914 our needs are greater. With two schools, a high school for boys and a separate one for the girls, the evils rising from the present co-educational system will be eliminated. With well-equipped and well-administered department of trade in the one, and of household arts in the other, school may be brought into closer relation with the life of the community, may interest that five-sixths who are disinterested, affording at least a partial solution to the large number of unaccounted for withdrawals. Whether or not we ask for two schools, certainly it is time to betray larger interest in the matters, and to have our discontent with present conditions, and our demands for adequate facilities heard and felt. NEW TEACHERS FOR WILBERFORCE Xenia, O., July 2.—The board of trustees of Wilberforce University, at its recent annual meeting, reelected President William S. Scarborough and most of the old teachers. Among the new teachers in the college department are: Dudley Woodard, now instructor of mathematics in Tuskegee Institute, to be teacher of mathematics; Gilbert E. Jones, now teaching at Langston University, and Miss H. Georgiana White. Each is a graduate of the university. Mr. Woodard after leaving Wilberforce, studied at the University of Chicago, where he received the degrees of bachelor and master of arts. Mr. Jones who is a son of Bishop Joshua Jones, also studied in Germany, receiving degrees of doctor of philosophy from the University of Halle. Miss White has been teaching in Wayman Institute, Kentucky. Keziah Emery Hall, the new dormitory for girls, erected at a cost of $45,000, is now ready for occupancy. The bequest left Payne Seminary by the late Bishop Grant is now available. PLANNING TO ESTABLISH New York. July 2- At a meeting of representative men, held in the office of John Nial, Tuesday night, plans for establishing a bank in the Harlem District, were discussed. TRYING TO KILL SEGREGATION ONCE FOR ALL Over Two Huncred Dollars Raised to Prosecute the Case in the Courts, At a Recent Mass Meeting, RESULT IS EAGERLY AWAITED Authors of Louisville Law Have Attempted to Profit By Mistakes of Solons in Other Municipalities. Louisville, Ky., July 2.—In an effort to begin a movement to settle once for all the segregation of Negroes by legal enactment, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold a big massmeeting here Sunday. Prof. William Pickens, of Talladega College, and Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the executive committee of the association, will make the principal addresses. A movement has already been started here to test the legality of the local segregation law enacted in May. Over $200 was raised with which to secure attorneys at a largely attended mass meeting, held Tuesday of last week. Should the decision be against the law here, it may mean a beginning of the end of such legislation. A number of Southern cities, including Baltimore where the plan first originated, have segregation laws. The law in the latter city has been twice knocked out, but the Maryland Court of Appeals indicated a way by which Baltimore could enact another segregation law, and this has been done. The newest Baltimore law has not been legally tested as vet, however. The North Carolina Supreme Court recently handed down a decision declaring a segregation law invalid. This is regarded as practically putting a quietus on the plan of Clarence Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, for having a rural segregation law in North Carolina. The question of segregation is largely an economic one with colored people as it forces the race to live in undesirable quarters and to pay extortionate rents. Chapin Brinsmade, of New York city, attorney for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who was here last week, had the following to say on the expected overthrow of the local segregation law: "The results in Louisville will be of the utmost importance in determining whether or not the Negro is to be segregated. Louisville has drawn its ordinance very carefully, and the men who did the work had before them all the other similar ordinances and were able to profit by the defects. They believe that they have avoided all technical defects, and so all other cases will hinge on the Louisville one." DEATH OF AGED BUSINESS MAN Louisville, Ky., July 2.—Guy W. Smith, one of the oldest and most successful business men in this city, died last Wednesday morning after a two-month illness. He was born near Lexington, Ky., March 22, 1834. For many years he had conducted a large transfer business under the name of Guy W. Smith and Sons. AGAINST NEGRO OFFICERS IN THE U.S. ARMY Georgia Congressman Would Bar Colored Soldiers From Being Commissioned or Non-Commissioned Officer. NEGRO'S RECORD IN THE ARMY A Fair Sample of Just How Far Southern Bourbons Will Go To Show Their Regard for the Golden Rule Washington, July 1.—Despite the fact that colored men are now notoriously discriminated against in the Army and Navy, Congressman Park, of Georgia, introduced a bill last Saturday making it unlawful to appoint colored men as commissioned and non-commissioned officers in the Army or Navy. The provisions of the bill follow: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That from and after the passage of this act it shall be unlawful for persons of the Negro race to be designated, elected or appointed commissioned or non-commissioned officers in the Army or Navy of the United States. "That all laws in conflict with this act be, and the same are hereby repealed." The bill was ordered printed and was referred to the committee on military affairs. Colored men have taken part in all the wars of the United States. Crispus Attucks was the first colonial soldier to die the Revolutionary War. A monument has been erected on Boston Common to those who fell in the first battle of the Revolutionary War, and Crispus Attucks is the central figure thereon. The Annals of Congress, under date of December 5, 1775, has the following to say of the heroism of colored soldiers: "To the Honorable General Court of the Massachusetts Bay: "The subscribers beg leave to report to your honorable house which we do in justice to the character of so brave a man—that under our observation we declare that a Negro man named Salem Poor, of Col. Frye's regiment, Capt. Ames' company in the late Battle of Charleston, behaved like an experienced officer as well as an excellent soldier. To set forth particulars of his conduct would be tedious. We on beg leave to say in the person of this Negro centers a brave and gallant soldier. The reward due to so great and gallant a character we submit to Congress." On the 30th of December, 1775, General Washington authorized the employment of colored soldiers: "It has been represented to me," read General Washington's proclamation, "that the free Negroes who have served in this (the Revolutionary) Army are very much dissatisfied at being discarded. As it is to be apprehended that they may seek employment in the ministerial army, I have presumed to depart from the resolution respecting them and have given license for their being enlisted." The Continental Congress did not agree fully with his suggestion, but on January 16, 1776 passed the following act: That the free Negroes who have PRICE THREE CENTS HAITI WANTS NO INTERFERENCE FROM UNCLE SAM Affairs: PAYS HER DEBTS PROMPTLY --- served faithful in the army at Cambridge may be re-enlisted, but no others." In the war of 1814. General Jackson, afterward President of the United States and a patron saint of the Democrats, wrote to President Monroe praising the work of colored soldiers in and around New Orleans. A colored soldier who distinguished himself as given the honorary title of major by General Jackson. During the Civil war nearly 180,000 colored soldiers were enlisted. They distinguished themselves in many engagements. Colored troops also took a prominent part in the Spanish American War, and the 9th Cavalry made a dashing charge at San Juan, carried the day and probably saved the life of Colonel Roosevelt. The highest position now held by a colored soldier is that held by Major Charles Young, one of the two colored graduates of West Point. There are several captains and lieutenants and a few chaplains. There are no colored officers in the Navy, colored men being only enlisted as mess boys. There are two regiments of infantry and two of cavalry in the Army. In a recent speech in the House of Representatives, Congressman Madden, of Illinois, recounted the part that the colored soldier has taken in the various wars of the country. TOO MUCH POLITICS AT KENTUCKY NORMAL President Russell Charged With Incompetency and Political Activity. Frankfort, July 2.—Charging that President G. Russell, of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, located here, is a Democratic politician, is incompetent and that the school should be under the control of a statewide board, State Superintendent of Education Barksdale Hamlette has issued a statement that he will not license this year's graduating class unless special examinator is passed. He says: "President G. P. Russell, of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute is incompetent, also some of his faculty. He is a Negro Democratic politician, and I do not want politics to be injected into the colored institution, no more than into the white schools. He was restored to this school through a political trick, and not upon his ability as an educator. I have authorized each county superintendent not to recognize any of the graduates to teach in the rural schools unless qualified by a special examination. It they are permitted to teach without taking this examination and paid; I will take their salary out of the county superintendent's wages, or from their bondsmen. President G. F. Russell and some members of the trustee board are taking this institution as a tool for local merchants. This school should be under a statewide trustee board, as the white schools of similar nature. I want to see the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute run upon as high bass as the white schools, and there is no reason why it cannot be. The State is paying for it. I will go the every inch of the law to see that this school is run upon a high basis, and that grafting and immorality will not be tolerated in its walls. 15,000 MILLIONARIES New York. July 3-There are 15,000 persons with an income of one million dollars each, according to returns made to Collector Charles H. Anderson of the Wall Street Internal Revenue District. United States Reported To Be Trying To Get Hold of Haitien Financial Solon Menos Namec to Succeed Minister Ulrich Duvivier Who Has Been Re- Washington, July 3.--It is stated on reliable authority that the United States is trying to find a way to manage the finances of Hayti, as is now done by this government in San Domingo. All such plans have been frowned upon by the Haitian government, however. Secretary of State Bryan and Ulrich Duvivier, Haitian Minister to the United States, held a conference Wednesday regarding the project, and it is said that Minister Duvivier stated that his government was opposed to any such plan. A few months ago an English warship visited Haitian waters and demanded that $66,000 owed English lenders be paid immediately. This was compromised by the Haitian government paying $19,000 and pledging itself to pay the remainder in two installments. That the appearance of the warship was due to blunder by the English minister at Port au Prince was indicated by his sudden departure for Europe, accompanied by the vice consul, after Haiti had entered a vigorous protest. It is now thought that he has been recalled. Haitian bonds are selling at a premium in Paris and the credit of the little republic is said to be better now than ever. Haiti is said to always pay the interest on its debt with promptness. France is its biggest credit or with Germany next and the United States the smallest. Capitalists from this country have invested in railroad there, and that is thought to have made this government send another white man there as minister. Minister Duvlvier has been recalled by President Zamor and will be succeeded by Solon Menos, former minister here. He will return to the practice of law at Port au Prince. Advices received here state that Senor Davi'mer and fifty Haitien rebels were killed in a recent skirmish. BALTIMORE GIRL LEADS CLASS AT CHEYNEY Among the graduates at the recent commencement of the Cheyney (Pa.) institute for Teachers, were Miss Theresa Briscoe and Miss Ella T. Beames, both of this city. Miss Beames was graduated from the Colored High School in 1909, leading her class. She also led her class at Cheyney. Following her graduating from the high school, Miss Beames was employed in the office of the Afro-American Ledger, and was the first colored woman in the country to operate a Unity type typesetting machine. She is now taking a summer course at Cheyney. SOCIAL SERVICE FOR THE SOUTH Observations of Associate Director Eugene Kinckle Jones, Who Recently Visited Eleven Southern Cities as the Representative of the National League on Urban Conditions. New York.-Eugene Kinckle Jones, associate director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, recently returned from a trip to eleven southern cities in the interest of the work of the league. Mr. Jones gives an interesting account of the cultural way in which our people in the cities which he visited are co-operating in work for social uplift. In Savannah, Ga., committees have been formed to conduct big brother and big sister work, to promote recreational and amusement facilities for the young, to foster neighborhood improvement by parents' meetings inspection of yards and homes in interest of better garbage and trash disposal and cleanliness of homes, and also to co-operate with the local associated charities in providing relief for the poor. The significant thing about the movement in Savannah is that persons in all walks of life—business men, professional men, housewives, teachers and persons employed in domestic service—are combining their forces without friction or class distinction for the common welfare of all. In Augusta, Ga., professors from Patine college, Uaines college, of which Miss Lucy Laney is president; members of the fraternal organizations of the city and the professional classes have united in forming the Civic league, an affiliated organization of the A. EUGENE KINCKLE JONES. Urban league. They support three playgrounds, urge the chaperonage of summer outings and entertainments and are trying to secure colored visiting nurses to conduct campaigns against flies and other disease breeding insects and are responsible for friendly visiting in needy neighborhoods. The Neighborhood union of Atlanta, with Mrs. John Hope as president, has divided the colored neighborhood into districts, over each of which a district leader presides. In Nashville, Tenn., where Dr George E. Haynes, director of the league, is located, a very good work is being projected. The Methodist Episcopal Church South, Fisk university and the National League on Urban Conditions are combining their interests for the purpose of opening a training school for social workers in Nashville. Connected with the scheme is a settlement house which has its workers persons from different sections, and it is being run along non-sectarian lines for the general welfare of the large colored neighborhood in which it is located. The movement in Louisville, Ky., is being inaugurated at a very opportune time. A segregation ordinance has just passed the city council. Many of the alleged causes for this ordinance are social in character. The committees on delinquency, industrial development, neighborhood improvement, on institutions and on Thanksgiving relief fund will do much toward bringing our people to a better realization of the possibilities of such uplift work. The work of the league in Philadelphia is under the Armstrong association, which is interested in the organization of the colored people along occupational and industrial lines and the securing of employment for skilled and unskilled workers. The Philadelphia Association For the Protection of Colored Women, another affiliated organization of the Urban league, is under Mrs. S. W. Layten, who conducts a bome for working girls and keeps at the docks and railroad stations a travelers' aid worker, who directs strangers to suitable lodgings, escorts them across the city to the homes of friends relatives or to departing trains and steamers, or secures for them employment through reliable agencies, both commercial and philanthropic. This association also maintains a worker in the city courts. WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS. Republican State Convention Demands Enforcement of the War Amendments. Charleston, W. Va.-Some of the most prominent colored men in this state were delegates to the Republican state convention, which recently met in this city. There were important matters affecting the colored voters of the state to be considered. It was, therefore, very fortunate for the race that it had such men as the Hon. L. O. Wilson of Weston, T. G. Nutter of Charleston, E. J. Graham, Jr., of Wheeling and William W. Sanders of Charleston to represent the colored voters of the state. The manly strand which these men took on this occasion should serve as an example to our people in other states. West Virginia was the first state to consider the recommendation of the Republican national committee, which in substance meant a reduction of the representation of the colored delegates from the south to the Republican national convention. Every colored delegate present realized the gravity of the situation, but most of them were puzzled as to what course they should pursue. It was at Huntington that Delegate L. O. Wilson of Lewis county met Delegate E. J. Graham, Jr., of Ohio county, and from Huntington to Charleston their only topic was "What shall we do?" Upon reaching Charleston Messers, Wilson and Graham went into conference with Delegate T. G. Nutter of Kanawha county and William W. Sanders, state librarian, with the result that the following resolution was adopted: "The adoption of the recommendations of the Republican national committee by the Republican party of West Virginia in convention assembled is not to be construed as an endorsement of the election laws of the southern states unjustly disfranchising thousands of American citizens who in law and in equity are entitled to express their choice at the ballot box, and the Republican party of West Virginia in convention assembled hereby denounces said election laws as unjust and indefensible and demands that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the constitution of the United States be enforced and the southern states' congressional representation be based upon the actual voting strength under their election laws." The Hon. Elliot Northcott offered a resolution to adopt the recommendation of the Republican national committee, cutting down the representation of the delegates from the south which was seconded. It was at this juncture that Delegate Dr. L. O. Wilson secured the floor and in a masterly ad dress offered an amendment in the form of the resolution above mentioned. The amendment was unanimously adopted. The same resolution having been referred to the committee on resolutions was reported favorably and made a part of the state platform of the Republican party. MAJOR MOTON'S OPTIMISM. Hampton Institute Official Puts Character First In Discussing Segregation. Major Robert R. Moton, who is an able speaker and race leader and is well known throughout the country as the commandant of cadets at Hampton institute and is the president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, spoke very frankly at the recent Memphis meeting of the Southern sociological congress on the question of race segregation. His remarks, which follow, were made as part of his formal address on "The Negro and the South's Industrial Life." "Few people know the Negro's real feeling on the subject of segregation," said Major Moton. "The Negro rarely discusses this question frankly, for the reason that he does not think that because he is black he is cursed and that the Creator has limited his possibilities so that he is unit for association with other human beings, but, as a matter of fact, 99 per cent of my people if they should tell what they really feel, would say that they have no desire to be with any particular class of people simply because of their color. Character is what counts when it comes to personal selection. "In southern communities long before segregation was ever spoken of there were sections in almost all towns where our people lived happily, and there was practically no trouble or feeling of unpleasantness because of it. The only persons who presumed to disregard the unwritten law were certain white men who opened grocery stores, dry goods stores and barrooms which very frequently carried with them the lowest and most subtle sort of vice and degradation which would not be tolerated in white residential sections. What is true in urban communities is true elsewhere. "The Negro enjoys the companion ship of his race, and, like every other human being, he also enjoys being with his friends, whether they are black or white. But because a few Negroes here and there in cities and in the country have bought property alongside of white people, because the Negro traveling on the railroad wishes to ride in the Pullman car, because at the railroad station he applies at the only restaurant for a meal, because a few here and there go to northern white universities, and because the Negro protest against the jimrow car, which almost invariably means inferior accommodations, and the separation on street cars, the feeling in the minds of the average white person is, perhaps, that the Negro wants to be white and that he wants to be with white people because they are white. There is absolutely no foundation in fact for THE AFRO-AMERICA J LEDGER GREAT WORK OF AN EVANGELIST Steps In the Life of an Orphan Girl Who Was Left Upon Her Own Resources at an Early Age—Licensed to Preach at Fourteen by the A. M. E. Church. Bloomington, Ill.-As a minister and evangelist Miss Mary G. Evans is the wonder of the age and is meeting with marvelous success in conducting revivals in various parts of the country. She recently conducted a series of meetings in Terre Haute, Ind., which were attended by large crowds every night. Miss Evans is a well trained young woman, and with her ability is coupled experience. She was born in Washington, D. C. Jan. 13, 1891. Her parents died when she was but a child, and she was left to meet this busy, stern, cold world almost alone, but fortunately she was adopted by the Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Evans, who resided in Louisville, Ky. The Rev. Mr. Evans was a Methodist W. H. minister, which means that Miss Evans got her education in various public schools. She attended the graded schools of Louisville and Bowling Green and completed the grammar course in Marion, Ind., and the high school in Chicago. At the age of twelve she felt that she had been divinely commissioned to preach and while in her twelfth year preached her trial sermon, which won for her many admirers and friends, and for a long time she was called the "girl preacher." Her progress was rapid, for at the age of fourteen she was licensed to preach at the quarterly meeting in Bethel A. M. B. church in Chicago, of which the Rev. Dr. A. J. Cary is pastor. The Rev. Timothy Reeves was then the presiding elder. For one year she labored as a licensed preacher. At the age of fifteen she entered the Indiana conference under Bishop C. T. Shaffer. She felt that if God had called her to preach he had at the same time called her to prepare and not go through the world an ignorant apologist, hence Miss Evans entered Payne Theological seminary at Wilberforce, O., for the purpose of taking a thorough theological course. This was the task of her life, because she was an orphan and it took money to go through school. When it was known that the "girl preacher" was trying to get an education to better it herself for service, there came to her old Mrs J. J. Evans, the Federated Cubs of Indiana and the Indiana conference. Miss Evans showed appreciation for the help given her by hard study, and it was in June, 1911, that she received her diploma and entered into active work. Her services have been rendered in the east and south, and she is now preparing to go into the extreme west. Thousands have been added to the church under her preaching. Wherever she holds a meeting the churches are crowded. She is eloquent and has a manner of delivery peculiar to her self. She has perhaps traveled more extensively than any other young woman of the race. It was in 1913 that she was selected as one of the delegates to the world's Sunday school convention, which was held in Zurich, Switzerland. Her credentials were given by the state association of Indiana. At the close of the convention she determined to do two things—see some of the world and study some in the Holy Land. So from Switzerland she toured Asia and northern Africa. Spending much of her time in the Holy Land. She has a distinction enjoyed by few Afro-Americans—she was baptized in the river Jordan as near the place as could be designated where Jesus was baptized. Her experience gained in travel has better prepared her to preach, especially that which she collected in the Holy Land. She is doing a great work for God, humanity and her race. She is making a unique place in the history of the country and today rabks with the leading evangelists. W. A. Jones' Tonsorial Parlor Successor to W. H. Moss ...1423 Pennsylvania; Avenue...

His repentance comes late, but those who will be benefited by the appointments will probably not take that into consideration. Even deathbed repentance is some kind of repentance. AN "UNRIPE BLACKBERRY" Mr. Moran, a white gentleman, from Pittsburgh, and by the way a "White Hope," made an effort to pick a "blackberry" in Paris last Saturday, and found very much to his chagrin, that the "berry" was not altogether ripe. He says: "Johnson completely surprised me, I was led to believe that if I lasted ten or twelve rounds, I'd be sure to win, solely because of the poor condition and age of the Champion. But Johnson's defence was as good in the nineteenth round as it was in the first, and when the twentjeth came I don't know whether he was all in or not, because I was too much so to be able to notice." We certainly must give Mr. Moran credit for being honest, at least. This life is full of uncertainties. Mr. Moran has our sympathies. That is all we have to give just now. IM-CROW MILEAGE BOOKS Not satisfied with "Jim Crow" cars, the Southern Railroad is now issuing "Jim Crow" mileage books. When a colored man buys an interchangeable mileage book from the Southern Railroad they punch out the word "Colored." What with "Jim Crow" cars, "Jim Crow" tickets, and "Jim Crow" drinking fountains, we will be having a certain part of the air walled off and marked."For Colored." "Jim Crow" coats and "Jim Crow" hats, and "Jim Crow" shoes and "Jim Crow" streets, will no doubt come along in due season. As Puck would say: "What Fools these (Southern) Mortals Be." CIVIC EDUCATION One can hardly help noticing the unsightly and motely crowd of persons following every parade, and every band of music. The great crowds of persons visiting questionable resorts; the houses of crookedness which infest our city; the increasing number of our young people tending towards destruction, and any number of reprehensible, phases of civic and moral life which constantly obtrude upon public notice, cry aloud for some remedial agency. This state of affairs will not be changed by simple preachment. Why, then, do we so frequently direct public attention to this unhealthy and unsightly condition? Our aim is to impress upon all decent, and proper citizens, that such conditions will steadily grow worse unless they initiate some means of changing such foul disorder. If the average respectable citizen among us simply shakes his head, and confesses that the condition can hardly be changed, then let him fully realise that he himself will go down with these immoral members of society. Whether he wants to do so or not, his own continued well-being is contingent upon his efforts in decreasing the class among us responsible for moulding such civic conditions which greatly handicap the deserving, intelligent, thrifty, and thoughtful of the race. Such can not permanently advance and increase without, at the same time, decreasing the rump and objectionable end of the race. This is a fact which we dare not ignore. If we ignore it, it will not ignore us. As worthy and commendable as it is to purchase homes, and to give much attention to secret and beneficial societies, yet when we simply ignore the matter of systematic and intelligent effort in civic education among the race, it is like the ostrich hurrying his head in the sand, leaving his entire body exposed to danger. Several hundreds of us may make wonderful advancement along all worthy lines but if the great masses of our poor, ignorant, and sometimes, vicious people, create an unfavorable public sentiment towards the race, then, those who have made the most advancement, and who are the worthiest among us, will more keenly and painfully feel the depths of humiliation. If 1: be necessary to put forth effort, and give money, for the proper and systematic civic education of our people. In fact, we have made the criticism more than once, that the church is largely, if not chiefly, to blame for much of the present unfavorable condition. Certainly, not consciously so, never theless the fact remains. If we have as much religion as we profess to have, it ought to be shown in our ability to raise the necessary money for our current expenses, in a simple and proper way. Such being the case, one can readily see what a power the various organizations in all our churches would be in really doing the legitimate work of the Gospel. It is a reproach and a shame that the little money required for church support can not be secured without such great effort. Such ought to come without effort. The real emphasis, effort, and endeavor, upon the part of our various church organizations should be along the line of civic education, for after all, civic education is but another name for Christian education, practically considered. When as many as a half a hundred of sincerely disposed, and patriotic citizens get together, who really believe in the principle, one of the most necessary moral and Christian works will begin to energise the darkness around, and prove the means of starting among our people a great movement for their moral and spiritual uplift. ALL BECAUSE SHE WAS COLORED The joke is distinctly on the Richmond (Va.) News Leader. Itself opposed to suffrage extension, it recently offered ten dollars for the best argument against the enfranchisement of women. No less than 625 answers being received, the "contest editor" certified that "no more interesting reading ever came under his observation," and that no decision was ever so difficult for him. Finally, the "very excellent answer" of a Mrs. Goode was chosen. She was asked to take part in other contests, and was requested to do the "contest editor" the favor of sending a photograph of herself for reproduction as the prize winner. The photograph came, but it was of a comely colored woman. The chivalrous News-Leader, of course, found the pressure upon its columns so great as to make it impossible to make room for Mrs. Goode's picture. Our sympathy goes out to the News Leader. We presume it is being accused of fostering social equality by not having limited its contest to white women only. Moreover, the godly are indignant with it for permitting a colored woman to triumph over 624 white sisters and thus cast doubts upon the assertion that the Negro is a hopelessly inferior being mentally as well as racially; while the ungodly Negro publications like the Crisis magazine are rejoicing loudly at what they term "another Southern disaster." —The New York Evening Post. SHRINERS HOLL BIG SES Imperial Potentate J. H. A Attends. Other Promi Masons Present Charlotte, N. C., July 3. — the hot July weather, a num pilgrims braved the hot the desert today (Friday) and inducted into the mysteries A FLOURISHING CHURCH AT TOWSON, MD. Towson, Md., July 2.—The A. M. E. Church at Towson seems at present to be in a very flourishing condition under the pastorate of Rev. V. H. Green. Elder Green was appointed there at the last Annual Conference and in a very short time succeeded in winning the confidence of not only the members of his church but the people of Towson. On Monday, June 22nd, the Baltimore A. M. E. Preachers' Meeting held its closing session there and they were entertained in a very excellent manner by the good people of the Church. The ladies of the church should be commended. Wednesday, June 24th, the Women's Mite Missionary Society of the Baltimore Annual Conference Branch held their quarterly meeting. Mrs. Marr, F. Handy of Baltimore, president of the Parent Body and Mrs. Annie Welch, the president of the Conference Branch, whose home is in Washington; together with other ladies of both cities were present. They were grandly entertained by the good ladies of Towson Church. Some one might think or say that two meetings would prove a burden to those good people but not so; there is no agency that will help to lift burdens more than just such gatherers. Let our large churches go out to such places on Sunday afternoons and water these A. M. E. plants. All the big churches were once little plants.—J. W. N.

OWLS WIN The local nest of the Afro-American Order of Owls was organized four or five years ago, and it had a steady growth until December, 1912, when it was hailed into Court by the white Order of Owls, under a temporary restraining order signed by Judge Duffy, the white society claiming that the Negro lodge was infringing upon its name and reputation. After a more or less protracted litigation involving the taking of considerable testimony here and at North Bend, Indiana, the headquarters of both orders, and argument of counsel in Court, Judge Duffy decreed a permanent injunction against the Negro Owls, prohibiting them from using the name of Owls or emblems resembling those of the whites. An appeal was taken from Judge Duffy's decision to the Court of Appeals, where argument was had early in the April term of the Court. On Wednesday of last week, the Court rendered its decision reversing Judge Duffy's decision, placing all the costs which were considerable, on the white order. Hawkins and McMechen were counsel for the colored Owls. JAY GOULD IN CANADA In a letter to the Afro-American Ledger, Jay Gould states that he is doing well in Toronto, where he is staying for the summer. In August he will leave for Saratoga, and then will return to Baltimore. He is staying at 176 St. Antoine street, Toronto. SHRINERS HOLD BIG SESSION Imperial Potentate J. H. Murphy Attends. Other Prominent Masons Present Charlotte, N. C., July 3.—Despite the hot July weather, a number of pilgrims braved the hot sands of the desert today (Friday) and were inducted into the mysteries of the Mystic Shrine at a ceremonial session held under the auspices of Rameses Temple of the Oasis of Charlotte. Imperial Potentate John H. Murphy, of Baltimore, was on hand to cheer the pilgrims and to witness their discomforts in traveling. The sands were hot, water was scarce and sometimes during the journey, the pilgrims looked weary, but all reached their goal and then gave praise to Allah. This was a great day for the imperial potentate A delegation of Mystic Shriners and other prominent citizens met him on his arrival here and took him in charge. A public session of the Mystic Shrine and the Daughters I J. H. MURPHY of Isis was held at Grace A. M. E. Zion Church this morning. The exercises opened with prayer by High Priest and Prophet B. F. McDowell, afterwhich Chief Rabban R. B. Bruce introduced Mr. Murphy, who made a happy address. Noble A. A. Hector responded to the address of the imperial potentate. The pilgrims began to gather for the hot journey at 3.30 this afternoon, and after much suffering, on the way the novices were received as brothers. A big banquet followed which was attended by prominent Shriners from all parts of the State. Imperial Potentate Murphy, Illustrious Potentate Ceasar R. Blake, and others delivered addresses. Mr. Murphy will leave tomorrow for Durham, where he will be the guest of honor at a banquet given by the business men of that city. TO ATTEND SESSIONS OF N. A. C. W. CLUBS A number of ladies connected with the work of the Federation of Christian Women are planning to attend the biennial session of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, which meets at Wilberforce University, Xenia, O., August 4, 5, 6, and 7. Marylanders who expect to attend should get in communication with Miss Ida R. Cummings, 1234 Druid Hill avenue, this city. Those who desire accommodations should write Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Wilberforce University. An attractive program has been arranged, which will touch upon such pertinent topics as hygiene, living conditions, women and business development and moral uplift. Among the speakers will be Dr William S. S. Scarborough, Mr. B. K. Bruce, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Miss Anna Jones, Mr. Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Mary Tablert, the latter of Buffalo, N. Y. BIG 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION An Independence Day celebration will be held on the ground of the colored playground a Druid Hill Park today: 3,000 people attended the celebration last year and a larger crowd is expected this time. From four to six p. m., there will be games and pageants under the direction of the Children's Playground Association and a band concert. From seven to eight p. m., there will be races on the park drive adjoining the playground, conducted by the colored section of the Public Athletic League. Fireworks will be displayed thereafter. The committee in charge of the celebration follows: Harry T. ratt, chairman; Harry S. Cummings, John R. Young, H. Grafton Browne and George A. Owens. M. B. JAMES A. ROSS BLACK DEMOGRATS IN FIGHTING MOOD Henry Lincoln Johnson the Incumbent Retired July 1st Ross Sees President Washington, July 3. The fight is on among colored Democrats as to who should succeed Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds. James A. Ross, of Buffalo, accompanied by Congressman Smith of the same city, called on President Wilson Monday to present the former's claims for the position. Bishop Walker is said to have urged that one of his supporters be given the position. Judging by the activity displayed the breaking forces of the colored Democrats are being welded together again, and may be found working ardently for Democratic success this fall. A big fight over the confirmation of a colored nominee is expected. The so-called Democratic Fair Play Association held a meeting here Tuesday night, at which protests against Negroes were uttered. Vardaman and Hoke Smith are still hostile, and the support that Justice Terrell got when he was confirmed, may not be forthcoming. It may be added that not a single Southern Senator voted for his confirmation. Recorder Johnson went out of office Wednesday with the best wishes of his assistants, both white and colored gathering around him to wish him success in the practice of law, which he will resume at Atlanta next month. His family will remain here for the present, however. Deputy Recorder Dutton now has charge of the office. William L. Marbury, of Baltimore, advocate of the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment, looked downcast Tuesday, when he emerged from the White House grounds, where he and Congressman Smith of Maryland, had been to urged that a Maryland white man be named as Recorder of Deeds only to find out from President Wilson that a colored man would be named. SUMMER CLASSES AT FHIGH SCHOOL Summer classes opened at the High School Monday with Principal Mason A. Hawkins in charge Instruction is being offered mainly to those pupils who failed to make the required marks for promotion but who have a chance to make up their deficiencies by the time that the regular term begins. The classes will continue for six weeks. This is the first time that higher instruction has been offered students during the summer. Besides the Division street school, the School Board will also offer elementary instruction at the East street school, beginning Monday. H. Grafton Brown will be the principal of the latter school. William H. Lee will have charge of the classes at the Division street school. He will be assisted by George A. Owens, William Anderson and H. Milton Gross. TO STUDY ABROAD Carl J. Murphy, of this city, an instructor in German at Howard University, Washington, will sail from New York this morning on the steamship Bremen for Germany. He expects to pursue a summer course in German at the University of Jena, returning about the last of September. Mr. Murphy engaged passage on one of the North German Lloyd vessels leaving this port two weeks ago, but canceled his arrangements when he learned that "Jim Crow" accommodations awaited him. STATE HOME FOR CHILDREN. How the Good White Folks of Virginia Are Helping Our Race. "The measure of citizenship is not what a man heaps up for himself, but what he scatters abroad for the benefit of others; not what he grabs, but what he gives to the commonwealth. The greatest citizen is he who does the greatest service." These suggestive and prophetic words were recently spoken by Colonel W. S. Copeland, one of Virginia's ablest editors, at the laying of the cornerstone of the Elizabeth Houston hospital, which will soon form a vital part in the organization and work of the Virginia State School For Colored Deaf and Blind Children, located near Newport News, Va. Colonel Copeland's words express clearly and forcefully the modern trend in social thought and practice. They emphasize the recognition of a man's pressing and personal obligation to minister as best he can to his less fortunate neighbor. A brief review of the Virginia School For Colored Deaf and Blind Children shows clearly that whole souled Christian men and women have won a battle for civic righteousness and community progress. Some of the workers for the common good possessed unusual advantages of natural equipment and training for leadership; others were decidedly disadvantaged, so far as the world could outwardly judge; all were logically devoted to the idea of establishing a genuinely helpful school for the colored deaf and blind children of Virginia. About fifteen years ago Mrs. William C. Ritter, the wife of the present superintendent, conceived the idea of building for Negroes a school similar to the one provided by Virginia for deaf and blind white children. Mr. Ritter, a southern white man, who is himself deaf, kept working on this idea. He interested some friends in this school project. The general assembly of Virginia, however, moved slowly. The scheme for educating Negro deaf and blind children was at best experimental. The work of promotion in the legislature fell on the shoulders of a few brave men. Mr. Ritter and his second wife worked faithfully and wisely with a few other white people who understood their plans and sympathized heartily with Negro children who were growing up in ignorance and vice through no fault of their own. Deep faith and sound ideas won new friends for handicapped Negro children. The governors of Virginia in turn saw the necessity of having a state school for colored deaf and blind children. The failure of the Virginia legislature to see its way clear to appropriate $5,000 for the school in 1906 proved a blessing in disguise. In 1908 Virginia appropriated $25,000. Today there are seven modern and well equipped buildings in which 110 deaf and blind colored children are being educated. Through the application of state funds and the co-operation of men and women who appreciate from first hand experience the trials of deafness and blindness a most valuable work is being carried on.

Bachaumont writes in his "Secret Memoirs," Nov. 15, 1786: "The mania for buttons is today extremely ridiculous. They are not only of enormous size, some of them as big as six pound crowns, but miniatures and pictures are made upon them, and this ornamentation is extremely costly. Some of them represent the medals of the twelve Caesars, others antique statues and still others the Metamorphoses of Orid." Isabey, in his biographical notes, says that when he came to Paris he worked for a living by making copies of Vanloos and Bouchers on the lids of snuffboxes and that for these medallions he was paid from 6 to 8 francs each. "As it was still the fashion," he said, "to wear buttons as big as a five frane piece upon which cupids, flowers and landscapes were cut in canneo. I went into that business. I got 12 sous for each." Philadelphia Ledger. Act of a Monster. Where is Carmania? Translate it into Kirman and a few who are up in the affairs of the middle east could identify the Persian province. Most of us know so little of that part of the world. But the chief town, Kirman, also known as Carmania, was the scene in 1705 of one of the most terrible events ever in the history of Asia Agna Mohammed, founder of the Kajar dynasty, then besieged and took the place and, raging at the escape of his defeated rival, with three followers, ordered 70,000 eyes of the inhabitants to be brought to him. He counted them with his dagger point and said to his minister, "If one had been wanting, I would have made up the number with your own eyes."—London Standard. His Finish. A politician was describing at the club the death of a rival. "Yes, Jones is dead," he said, and with a chuckle, he held his glass up to the light. "Yes, Jones is dead. He slipped on the parquery floor of his library and killed himself." The politician gave a loud laugh Then be added: "A hardwood finish, eh?"—Exchange. Camela In Water. The camel is about the only animal that cannot swim. It is an extraordinary fact that the moment the ungainly creature loses its footing in a stream it turns over and makes no effort to save itself from drowning. - London Answers. Obeyed Orders.

Sleep sweety in thy hallowed dells Over the hills so far from us Our tears and prayers and constant thoughts Still tell the love that lives to mourn for thee. And we seem to hear him calling From that mansion far above Where he waits the homeward coming From this earth of ones he loved. Oftimes our footsteps wander Flowers to strew with tender care On the graves of our loved ones Who are sweetly resting there. By his loving parents Mr. and Mrs. L. Harris.

MIDNIGHT IN BLUE GRASS STATE Has Been Taking a Much-Needed Rest After Attending Various School Commencements Louisville, Ky.—Even the best of us will take a little vacation at times, and this is what I have been doing for several weeks and have not sent you a letter. You will understand I have not been still all this time, but have been doing some going, and if you could only see all the places I have been I am sure you will agree with me. But now I am here to say just a few things to you this week, and hope you will be ab'e to hear them all. It has been hot and I am sure you have not been anxious to read much, to say nothing about letters from me. For a long time, I have been trying to tell you about things in this world, and you have read them. I have had letters from friends from time to time expressing an interest in some of the things I have seen, and some of the things I have had to say concerning my people, and I think them all. At times I am sure that there has not been anything in my letters worth reading, but you have bore with me just the same, and I am now prepared to thank you for that. The commencements are about all over, and there have been many graduates turned out to battle with the world, and now just what they are going to do, I am not prepared to say, but they are going to do something. With this large number of young men and women coming out of the schools, and then going to other schools in the North and getting hood of the best, mears that there must at timse be a few changes made, and I can see it coming now. I do not know just when it is going to happen, but happen it must. You want to know the changes. Well you will remember, just after me and the other members of our race were emancipated, the white people came down here from the North to educate us, and they have been doing it ever since. They have erected some good first class colleges, and we are proud of them. They have turned them out, and they have been employed in various schools. Dr. Booker T. Washington through Tuskegee Institute has made places for many graduates from these colleges. He has striven at all times to get on his faculty the best trained men and women, and I am proud of him for that. But, now, the time will come that little by little the other schools will have to be placed in the hands of our own people and you can see this from the outbreaks from time to time. Men like Dr. Cravath, Braden, Tupper, and others of that class came because they wanted to do good. They were imbued with the true missionary spirit, and wanted to serve God and a people that needed their service. These men have gone to their reward, and the men who are taking their places are often misfits I am sorry to say. I could give you many examples of the kind of men I am talking about in this letter, but will leave them for another time. For that reason I am not going to say a word about Dr. Foster, Dr. Dockings, Dr. Metcalf and others. Excuse me this time. I hope that they wjl be able to find a good, consecrated man to take the place of Dr. Gates at Fisk University. They need a good man there and if they cannot find a white man, then take one of us. I would suggest Mr. Proctor as a good man. I would look upon Kelly Miller as another, Wm. Pickens another, and I could just sit here and name them. There are good men and would make the school go if called upon to do so. I am informed that the American Missionary Association is planning to turn over another school into the hands of a member of our race. The Avery Institute at Charleston, S. C., will have a faculty from our side of the house next year. I do not know just who that president will be, but he will be a good man, believe me. Leaving the school question, I have been to Mobile and from there to Beamount, Texas, attending the sessions of the National Baptist Sunday School Convention. It was one of the finest in its history. I have never seen a meeting of our people attended so largely in the South by the other people. They were all interested and seemed to take part with good faith. I had the pleasure of seeing them. Sunday night the pastor of the leading Baptist Church in Beamount had his people to meet at the church, had prayer, read scrip- [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. ture and then marched them all to the Sunday School Congress. There were about five hundred of them. This was something to me new under the sun. I have understood this race question. I would take time at this point to congratulate Rev. Henry Allen Boyd and his board for the good work accomplished while there. Boyd is a hard working young man, and he believes in making a success out of whatever he puts his hands to do, and this is the thing for a young man to do. He is destined to take his place among the great men of this world. So many people depend alone on talk, and this has been but a block in the wav. Talk and work will go together. I took a trip from Beaumont to Prarie View, Texas and found 500 students in the summer school there Men and women who are teachers in the winter are attending summer school to better prepare for actual work. I took a trip to Waco, and found Rev. E. J Howard is to be one of the big men in the A.M.E. Church. I think he is going to be a bishop. Did I tell you that the people remembered me on my birthday. At no time have I received so many nice things, and just today I have a package from Miss A. A. Cofield, New York City, containing a birthday present. It is something fine and I shall put it into use. I was delighted to get to see so many people in this part of the world. From Waco to Texarkana, then to Shireveport, back to Texarkana, then to Hot Springs, to Little Rock, to Memphis, and now I am here. I will leave here today for Frankfurt, Lexington, Louisville, and then on to another part of the world. You must let me hear from me from time to time.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent meeting of the Christian student convention, held in this city, was presided over by Dr. John R. Mott, chairman of the continuation committee of the world missionary conference and general secretary of the World's Student Christian federation. It was attended by 288 young men students, 182 young women students, 42 professors and teachers, 78 speakers and leaders and 71 visitors, representing 81 schools and colleges and 18 states. Fifty-nine of these 601 were prominent white men, who are engaged in the education of the Negroes and southern white leaders and college students who are deeply interested in the education and advancement of both the white and colored people. Interest in the meeting was intense. One of the purposes of the convention was to give the present generation of Negro students in the United States a strong spiritual and moral impulse. The most powerful forces to this end were present in the opening address of Dr. Potent of Greenville, S. C., on "Christ's Condition of Discipleship" and the wonderful address of John R. Mott on how to make Christ constantly real in our life and the exposition and practical application of the opening verses of the twelfth chapter of Hebrews. Other speakers and their subjects were Mrs. John Hope of Atlanta and Mrs. J. D. Hammond of Augusta, Ga. on homemaking, Bishop Thirkield on the shortcomings of the Negro church, Dr. R. E. Jones of New Orleans on qualifications for the Negro ministry, Dean Imes of Tuskegee on the present weakness of the Negro country church and T. C. Walker of Gloucester Court church. Such colored men and women as Major Moton of Hampton, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Professor Pickens of Talladega, Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Dr. P. O'Connell of Atlanta, Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook of Washington and Miss Mary Jackson of Savannah showed in addresses that equaled any of the convention in thought, expression and power that, while they were not ready to surrender any of their claims for full manhood rights, opportunities and responsibilities, they were ready to meet as sincere the advances of their white neighbors and to heartily co-operate with them for the common good of the neighborhood, the city, the state and the nation.

PRESENT Fortieth Annual Gathering of the New England Baptist Missionary Convention Heid With the Messiah Baptist Church—Much Good Accomplished. Mayor Clifford B. Wilton Speaks. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Bridgeport, Conn. — The forty-first annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention, which concluded its session in the Messiah Baptist church in this city, the Rev. W. N. Morton, pastor, on Monday evening, June 22, with a reception to the Delegates, was one of the most largely attended during its long and eventful history. Delegates large in numbers and others, all representing enriches of brilliant achievements, were present from every part of the territory in which the convention has jurisdiction. The convention was in session for five days, during which time many important matters affecting its future development were considered. Vice President William P. Lawrence presided at the opening session until President W. Bishop Johnson delivered his annual address, which was a masterpiece in thought and succeeding review of every phase of the work of the organization for the fiscal year. Addresses of welcome were delivered on behalf of the Baptists of this city by Duncan John W. Barnes of the First Baptist church on behalf of the Pastors' association of Bridgesport; the Rev. George M. Brown of the First Methodist Episcopal church and the Rev. Mr. Ely for the A. M. E. Zion church. The welcome on behalf of the city of Bridgeport was given by his honor Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, who complimented the convention for the competence of its organization and its good work for religious motif. Mayor Wilson said that he believed in organization—religious, secular and political—for the accomplishment of the best things for the good of the people generally. Being a Baptist himself, the mayor expressed himself freely regarding the achievements of the denomination. The response to the various addresses of welcome was made by the Rev. Dr. W. A. Creditt. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. H. W. Childs of Pittsburgh, whose subject was "The Conquering Influence of the Church." The educational address was delivered by the Rev. W. Winston, president of the Clayton-Williams university, Baltimore, and the doctrinal sermon by the Rev. Dr. George B. Howard of Pittsburgh. Several new churches joined the convention, which now includes in its membership churches in the District of Columbia, Maryland and all of the northern and New England states except Maine. Representatives from several of the educational institutions, fostered in a financial way by the convention, were given the opportunity of speaking in behalf of their work. Among those who delivered addresses on education were R. C. Wood, president of the Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, Va.; William A. Crediti, president of the Downington (Ga.) Agricultural and Industrial school; Miss Nannie H Burreigns, president of the National Training School For Women and Girls, Washington; Page M. Beverly, president of the Alpha institute, Newark, N. J., and John C. Love, representing the interest of the proposed Northern Baptist university, Montclair, N. J. Besides its educational work the convention does home and foreign mission work, provides a fund for the assistance of aged ministers and a fund for the widows of the deceased ministers of the convention. It also takes an active interest in the promotion of remembrance and gives financial aid to the smaller churches and missions within its bounds. The treasurer's report gave in detail the amounts which have been distributed to the various interests of the convention as named above during the past year. The total amount raised for all purposes within the territory of the convention since June, 1913, was over $45,000. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, W. Bishop Johnson; the president, W. N Morton; recording secretary, T. J. King; corresponding secretary, W. A. Harrod and treasurer, R. D. Wynn, who has held the position for twenty-five years. The degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon Corresponding Secretary W. A. Harrod by the Virginia seminary and college at this session of the convention. The board of managers is composed of the following named ministers from the various states: William A. Credirt, Pennsylvania; G H. Sims, New York; E. W Johnson, Pennsylvania; E. L Cunningham, Pennsylvania; W. J Winston, Maryland; J. C Lowe, New Jersey; S W Smith, Rhode Island; William M. Moss, New York; W. O Harris, Connecticut; W. P. Hayes, New York; G H. Wiley, Rhode Island; B T Moore, Delaware; W. P. Lawrence, New Jersey; A. Clayton Powell, New York; J C. Jackson, Connecticut, and Hollow Park, New York. Counties in Missouri Where Tillers of the Soil Are Turning. The great advance in agriculture pursuits which many of the colored farmers are making in the various counties of Missouri is evidence that the race is more and more refuting the oft-repeated statement made by the bins minded that it consumes all that it can get, but produces nothing. The number of colored farmers in the following counties of Missouri shows that the race in the state is keeping pace with the onward march of industrial progress.

DR. F. S. HARGRAVES' ACTIVITY Influential Citizen and Loyal Member of National Medical Association or National Medical Association. Raleigh, N. C.-The members of the National Medical association are showing much interest in the plans for the sixteenth annual meeting of the association which is to be held in this city beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 25. In all sections of the country they are arranging their personal affairs so as to be present. This indicates that the coming meeting will be largely attended. One of the familiar figures usually seen at the annual meetings of the association is Dr. F. S. Hargreaves of Wilson, N. C., who has long been identified with this organization. He is one of the foremost workers in the movement to entertain the National Medical association at the coming meeting in August. Dr. Hanzavres is the president of the Lincoln Beneficial society, founder and medical doctor for the Wilson hospital and tuberculosis hospital, president of the North Carolina Median, Dental and Pharmaceutical association and 1910 DR. F. S. HARGLAVES. for several years state vice president of the National Medical association. He is now serving as a member of the executive board of the national organization. Aside from his professional duties Dr. Hargraves takes an unusual interest in all things concerning the civic welfare of his state and race. He is a prominent member of the Baptist church and has served as superintendent of the First Baptist Sunday school of Wilson and is also a member of the trustee and deacon boards of his church. He is a large property owner in his city and is highly respected by all of the citizens without regard to race. During his attendance at the sessions of the National Medical association Dr. Hargraves is most always accompanied by Mrs. Hargraves, who takes a keen interest in the many activities in which her husband is engaged. Bequests of the Late Addie Freeman.

Summer School for Youngsters An unusually interesting course of study for Young Men's Christian association secretaries has been prepared for the annual summer school for association workers to be held for two weeks at Arundel on the Bay, Mid, beginning on Wednesday morning, July 8. The gathering is known as the Chesapeake summer school, of which International Secretary Jesse E. Moorsend is the dean. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson 1.—Third Quarter, For July 5. 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Matt. xx, 1-16. Memory Verses, 6, 7—Golden Text. Matt. v, 45—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This lesson is found only in the gospel by Matthew and follows immediately his saying concerning the Son of Man in the throne of His glory and the apostles upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel, closing with the words about the first being last and the last first. Our lesson today closed with the same words, with the addition of "for many may be called, but few chosen" (Matt. xix, 27-30; xx. 16). The same words about few and many are found in Matt. xxii, 14. It is sadly true that, while many hear the good tidiness, but few comparatively really receive the good news, and it is also true that of those who become Christians but few are willing to be disciples because of selflessness and worldiness and because they do not know the power of His resurrection and kingdom and glory. The present age of the mystery of the kingdom is the time in which the redeemed of the Lord are called to be "fellow workers unto the kingdom of God." "fellow workers together with God." "workers together with Elim" (Col. iv. 11; I Cor. ill. 19; H Cor. vi. 1). The reference to the vineyard in this lesson and in chap. xxi takes us back to Isa. v. 17; Ps. xxx, and other Old Testament passages, but for us the most helpful reference is that of the vine and the branches and the fruit to the glory of God in John xv. In a recent lesson our Lord spoke of recompense at the resurrection of the just, and we forgive from Lev xxix, ii and I. 10. v, 4, and elsewhere that the time of reward for service will be at the second coming of Christ, when every one shall receive his own reward according to his own intent, but there is a recompense in all service even here, a fortitude of better things to come. I require the "penthouse" suggests present and in this life. They should be no idols among believers for the reward says the Lord in his work. (Mark xxix, ii) In reference to the material for the building of the inorganic Alk Moody used to say that the poorest obi could bring a few years' worth (LX. XXV 1-8). When the wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt by Nebuchadnei, among among builders were priests, loftes, unites merchants, or churches, goldsmiths and even women (Neb. ill. 8, 12, 17, 22, 32). They seemed poorly qualified for such services, but they had a mind to work, and though they were despielled and mediated, they prayed and kept at it and unified it, and their enemies ind to acknowledge that the work was wrought of and Neb. ill. 4, 6, 9. In all service for Christ it must be God working in us, both to will and to do, the time bearing from through the branches, for the said, "Without me you can do nothing." Child in. John 6:16. The hours of today's lesson, at least the first batch, seem to be time servers who agreed to work for so much. To the others he said, "What sover is right I will give you (years) 2.4.7. When His love constrains we will not think of reward for service either hope or hereafter. Ruth was not thinking of recoupence when she clung to Nechemia and said, "Entrance me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee" (Guth 1. 1618). It was devotion to David that led Ittal to cling to him with similar words (II, 51, sam xv. 21). The same thing is seen in Elisabeth's reported refusals to leave Elijah II's kings ii. 2, 4, 6. Such an attitude is the only one for true service. Simon Peter thought that he had it when he said, "Lord, I will lay down my life for Thy sake" (John xiii. 274), but he did not know himself. Pamilu readily had it when he said, "I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus" (Acts xxi. 18. See also Acts xx. 24; Rom. i. 14; 14; Cor. ix. 29; xx. 33). With so many millions on earth who have never yet heard the gospel, who know nothing whatever of the love of God, the gift of His Son, eternal redemption provided in Him, a kingdom to be shared by the whosoever who will accept Him, how can any one be said to truly rejoice in the Lord or any kind of a disciple who is not consumed with a desire to serve such a Saviour and make known His salvation without ever a thought of recompense here or hereafter? I have heard of heathen in China haggling about how much they would get for saving a man who was drowned before their eyes before they would attempt to save him, but what shall be said of Christians who want to know what their reward shall be for telling others of the redemption which they themselves have freely received, or what shall be said of those who think more of their own church or denomination than of gathering the church. His body, from all the world that He may come again, set up His kingdom and see of the travail of His soul in a world subjected unto Him and filled with righteousness and peace. For "He must rejoin till He hath put all enemies under His feet," but He will not begin His rejoin till He shall receive His bride at the resurrection of the just. Cor. xx. 230. Serving the living and true God means doing that which He impaired us, not working up of working out some scheme of our own.

Michael Jones, Editor in Chief Nerve—Lung—Tuberculosis LIFE & HEALTH—NO CONSUM TION The 1910 Census showed that the colored population was at the same nine-million mark as in 1900. The lack of increase is due to the fact that too many died of Tuberculosis during that period. STRENGTH & LIFE could have saved 85 per cent of those who died. Mrs. Susie Love, Rockville, Md. writes: "STRENGTH & LIFE is a remarkable medicine. It is helping me wonderfully. I walked out into the yard Saturday without a cane, after taking two bottles. That is something I have not done since I was paralyzed fourteen months ago." STRENGTH & LIFE prolongs life, and is SPECIFIC for lungs and nerves. The people who took it lived to see 1914.
