THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXII. NO. 46 WILL SUPPORT FIGHT AGAINST SEGREGATION WILL SUPPORT FIGHT AGAINST SEGREGATION Louisville Citizens Pledge Financial Support to Help Rid City of Segregation IS NOT A "NEGRO PROBLEM" Prof, Joel Spingarn [Sounds Note of Warning to The Ameri- Louisville, July 9.—Segregation and its manifest harm to the interests of the Negro were hard hit by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, of New York, and Prof. William Pickens, of Taladega College, at a largely attended meeting at Quinn A. M. E. Church Sunday afternoon. A resolution was adopted pledging support in any legal fight that may be made to rid the city of the segregation law; which was adopted in May. Rev. Dr. C. H. Parrish presided. Dr. Spingarn declared that the fight against segregation here should be the stepping stone in a fight for the general rights and uplift of the race. "In the name of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, and in the name of all right-thinking people, I come here to protest against the wrong being done by the city of Louisville," said Prof. Spingarn. "I also protest against the wrong being done 10,000,000 Negroes in this country, I come to let you know that there are men who do not approve of such injustice. "There is no such thing as a Negro problem. It is an American problem, for white injustice exists, the whole country is in danger. The time has come when the black people must consider their rights. "The segregation ordinance takes away the right to compete equally with white people. We have fought many similar battles in other cities, and we are going to begin in Louisville a fight which we intend to win. "This ordinance sweeps away the rights conferred upon you by the Constitution. The only way to get those rights back is to fight for them. We white men who love justice will fall in behind, but you must take the initiative. "The segregation ordinance means the founding of a ghetto in Louisville such as existed in Europe for hundreds of years." "The men who say this segregation ordinance is just practical, say to you: 'Go out and build a city of your own.' The white men alone didn't make Louisville, but the black helped. For such an injustice to exist will hurt more than vice and crime. The slums where the Negroes are to be kept will not be taken care of as the rest of the city, and must necessarily have a bad influence. "The time to begin the fight is now and the Negro man and woman who does not contribute to this legal fight is a traitor." The history of the progress made by the Negro race from the time of slavery until the present day was traced by Prof Dickens. He declared the segregation ordinance would have the worst possible influence upon Louisville Negroes and that the white citizens also would be injured. In an eloquent address, Prof. DR. J. E. SPINGARN. the colored people had made in this country and also took occasion to sharply criticise the injustices that the race has to suffer. About $300 was collected to aid in the fight against segregation, which will be made under the direction of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. WELL KNOWN EVANGEL IST PASSES AWAY Orange, N. J., July 10.—The funeral of Mrs. Abbe Wright Crowley, who died from paralysis, was held here a fort night ago. Rev. J. C. Dunn, pastor of St. John's M. E. Church, where the funeral services were held, officiated, assisted by Rev. W. H. Brooks, of New York city. The deceased was a musician of great ability and was widely known through her concerts. Her first husband, Rev. Ernest Lyon, is pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church, Baltimore, and is also Liberian consul general to the United State. PROMINENT HEADWAITER IS LAID TO REST Atlantic City, July 10.—Joseph McGuinn, for many years headwaiter at the Hotel Brighton, died here last week. He was 58 years of age. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Maggie McGuinn; children, two brothers, Rev. Robert A. McGuinn and Warner T. McGuinn, the latter a member of the Baltimore bar, and a half brother, Rev. W. M. Alexander, of Baltimore. Funeral services were held at his late home, 1625 Arctic avenue, last Friday afternoon. RAILROAD COMMISSION HEARS COMPLAINTS Columbia, S. C., July 6.—The State Railroad Commission heard testimony last Wednesday from the Pullman Company and railroads operating in the State as to the reason separate Pullman and sleeping cars were not provided for white and colored passengers. The Pullman company and the railroads contended that such an arrangement would entail a great financial burden, as comparatively few colored people desired to avail themselves of the Pullman service. AWARDED DAMAGES FOR BEING OVERCHARGED Albany, N. Y., July 9.—Alexander Waller, colored was awarded $100 damages because a saloonkeeper wanted to charge him $1 for a drink. This was a violation of the Levy Civil Rights law. PROGRESSIVES ALL "LILY-WHITE" IN LOUISIANA PROGRESSIVES ALL "LILY-WHITE" IN LOUISIANA The Colored Brother Has No Part fn the Governing Policies in the Roosevelt Party. MAY BREAK THE SOLID SOUTH Many White Planters Opposed to Democratic Tariff May Gd With Progressives: New Orleans, La., July 10.--The old slogan, "To Break the Solid South," may become a reality in the coming Congressional election, judging by reports that come from the Third and another Congressional district. In the Third district most of the prominent Democrats are said to have espoused the Progressive cause and the situation is viewed with alarm by those who still hang onto the Bourbon Democracy. There are big sugar and other interests here that are interested in a protective tariff; and though Louisiana has been represented in Congress by Democrats for years, these representatives have leaned toward the protection policy of the Republican party. Louisiana disfranchised its large colored voting population two decades ago and since then the influence of the race in politics has steadily declined in this State. The great majority of the white voters remained in the Democratic party, despite the fact the colored voters were few and far between. Lilywhiteism sprung up in the Republican party and "black-and-tan" and "lilywhite" delegations were seen at Republican national conventions knocking for admission. Despite this unwelcome situation, Col. James W. Lewis and Walter Cohen, federal office-holders here, managed to hold their political prestige. There are many white men in the South who do not believe in the economic policies of the Democrats, but they have not enough courage to enter the Republican ranks. With the Progressive party the case is somewhat different, as the party is a new one, and they think that it offers a more convenient medium through which to express their political convictions. The Progressive party in this State is an entirely white affair, of which John N. Parker is the leader. There are some thoughtful colored men who express the belief that if the Progressives should get a foothold here and divide in half the white vote that in the end both parties in a desire to achieve victory will begin a movement to undo race disfranchisement. make a bid for colored votes and give better schools and civic privileges to the race. Though the great majority of the colored population of this State has been robbed of the right to vote. Louisiana has seven members in the lower House of Congress. Some far seeing whites think that some day the North will not allow this inequality to continue, and will invoke the aid of the Fourteenth Amendment in curtailing representation in Congress. With the whites about equally divided and both parties hustling for Negro votes no curtailment would take place. That curtailment may take some day was indicated when the Republican national committee, at its meeting last December, proposed a H. M. ST. CLAIR plan for the curtailment of Southern representation in Republican national conventions. TUSKEGEE TO TEACH FRUIT-GROWING A A Special Course for the Study of This Growing Industry Has Tuskegee, Ala., July 8.—A revolution in far industry everywhere throughout the South is going on through the changing attitude of the farmers not only towards what the professors term diversification in crop, but towards the small farm husbandries. During the last ten years it has been re-discovered that the soil of the South is rich for fruit-growing, and the markets are anxious for southern fruit, particularly for the southern peach, the best peach that can be bought. Many fortunes have been built up recently upon fruit-growing and progressive farmers in great numbers, in all sections, are turning to the cultivation of orchards. A few years ago an Alabama farmer went to Texas to try out the land there in cotton and cattle raising. He failed miserably, and turned back to Alabama. He bought up some deserted land in central Alabama, at $10, an acre, an turned the whole tract into a peach orchard. Now he has 1,100 trees, mostly Mayflowers, employs a dozen helpers, and has the country for a market. In South Mississippi, around Brookhaven and this territory, big orchards are taking the place of plantations. At Tuskegee Institute there are several orchards devoted to fruit-growing, and 120 acres of land are given over wholly to this department of the agricultural course. Tuskegee's orchard contains 12,000 peach trees, 140,000 strawberry plants, 3,850 grape vines and 185 fig trees. Shipments of peaches are being made daily to nearby markets. Tuskegee realizes what the fruitgrowing industry will mean ten years from now, and offers colored young men and women an opportunity to study it as a business and a science. SCIENTIST FAVORS INTERMARRIAGE Sagamore, Mass., July 9.—In an address before the Sociological Conference, Mr. Jacques Loeb, of the Rockfeller Institute, declared that there was nothing in biological science against the inter-marriage of the various races, and that the ultimate hope of the world was in this comingling of the white, yellow and black races through inter-marriage. He pointed to Spain and its downfall as an example of weakness and degeneracy through the exclusion of other race. HOT FIGHT FOR COUNCIL IN CAMBRIDGE Much Ill-Feeling Shown in Councilmanic Contest Between H. M. StClair and Asbury ST CLAIR ORDERED ARRESTED Because He Refused to Leave Booth When Ordered Out By Election Judge Cambridge, Md., July 10. Much ill-feeling was engendered in the councilmanic election in the Second ward Wednesday over what is claimed by the followers of H. M. St. Clair to "fix" things so that the election of Nehemiah Henry, the present councilman from that ward, would be assured. Mr. Henry was renominated in the primaries on June 7, and Mr. St. Clair, who is a former councilman, was also nominated. At that time the latter's friends claimed that there was a desire to be unfair to him. Just before the polls opened Wednesday, Mr. St. Clair demanded that he be allowed to have a watcher in the polling place. Rev. S. E. Maloney and Emory Clash, who were the judges, refused, and Mr. St. Clair waited until he could get into communication with the State's Attorney. It was insisted that he leave the room and upon his apparent disinclination to go his arrest was ordered. He then withdrew from the fight, declaring that he did not believe that he could be given a fair show. He and his lieutenants then got busy and instructed their followers not to vote, thus making the election a certainty. St. Clair's friends declared that he had not enough votes to win. The Second ward contains over 500 voters and the bulk of the colored population. It is also the center of much activity in a business way. PHILADELPHIA SHRINERS DEDICATE NEW BUILDING Philadelphia, Pa., July 10.—The new home of Pyramid Temple of the Mystic Shrine, at 16th and South streets, was dedicated with imposing ceremonies Wednesday night. The exercises were largely attended. Addresses were delivered by J. H. Murphy, of Baltimore, the imperial potentate; P. H. Edwards, the deputy imperial potentate; J. H. Hollis, William F. Powell, former United States minister to Hayti; James W. Allison, the illustrious potentate; W. H. Miller, the grand secretary; Charles H. Polk and others. The invocation was by Rev. J. R. W. Sewell, C. Crenshaw sang a solo. A banquet and social hour followed the exercises. Memphis, Tenn., July 10.—This city was chosen Wednesday night as the location for the proposed National Baptist Negro Theological Seminary. The school, which will aim to give high-grade instruction to those preparing for the ministry, will start with funds amounting to $100,000. The project is being backed by the Southern Baptist Convention and leading spirit in the National Baptist Convention have given the movement every aid. ERED R. MOORE NEW YORK WOMEN ARE UP IN ARMS Great Indignation Caused by the Remarks of Fred. R. Moore New York, July 9.—Fred R. Moore, Editor of the New York Age, is a plain-spoken man, and he brought down the wrath of the ladies upon his head, which is minus much hirsute adornment, when he told the Empire State Federation of Women's Clubs to get rid of its "platform women," and do practical uplift work. He was speaking at the annual session of the Federation, which was held in Brooklyn last week. The ladies mounted the platform, however, with great indignation and proceeded to defend themselves. Resolutions of censure were adopted which ends as follows: "We may not know as much about the different types of our sex as the author of the above statement but our achievements which are easily seen and read of in church, home and school room are a universal denial of this misrepresentation." The ladies adopted a plan however, proposed by Mr. Moore for collecting funds for the monument to the late Harriett Tubman heroine of the Underground Railroad; DENTAL ASSOCIATION TO HOLD SESSION Hampton, Va., July 9.—Gentlemen with a strong pull, not political, will gather here on July 23, when the Tri-State Dental Association opens a three day session at the Bay Shore Hotel, Buckroe Beach. The association is composed of colored dentists in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, and was organized one year ago. At the concluding session, Rev. R. A. Graham, of Phoebus, Va.; Major R. R. Moton, of Hampton Institute; Dr. Norman Lassiter, of Newport News, Va., Dr. T. W. Edwards, Dr. C. C. Fry, Dr. C. A. Gray, all of Washington; Dr. D. C. Brown, Dr. B. F. Browne, O. D. Johnson, all of Baltimore, and J. T. Lattimore, of Hampton; will deliver addresses. Dr. George W.

Ferguson, Richmond, president; G. H. Butcher, Washington, vice president; J. M. G. Ramsay, Richmond, secretary and Daniel C. Brown, Baltimore, treasurer. Topeka, Kan., July 9.—The funeral of Rev. James Wilson, for 50 years as minister in the A. M. E. Church, was held at Garnett, Kan., a few davs ago. He was born in Missouri 70 years ago. LEAGUE SOUNDS NOTE OF WARNING PURPOSE OF THE MEETING. Only Through Organization Can Negroes Combat Forces Now Pressing Hard Against Them—Work of National Association For Advancement Warmly Commended In Resolution. Yonkers, N. Y.-The Westchester County Negro league recently held its annual convention at McCann's hall in this city under auspicious circumstances. Delegates were present from the following cities and towns in the county: Peekskill, Croton Point, Ossining, Tarrytown, White Plains, Mount Vernon, Port Chester, Rye and Yonkers. The personnel of the convention was made up of a representative class of the Negro citizens of these localities. The purpose of the meeting was stated by the president, Paul H. Bray of this city. In a brief address President Bryan gave a resume of the work done by M. J. B. PAUL II. BRAY. the league during the six years of its existence and urged upon the delegates the importance of putting forth greater efforts in the future. There is greater need for unity of action among the Negroes today than ever before in the history of the race since the war, said Mr. Bray. Hostile forces are pressing us backward. We must check this, and there is only one way to do it, and that is through organization. Every loyal colored man in the country should be an active member of the Westchester Negro league, he continued. It is indeed very encouraging to note that we have enlisted in our cause before the country such eminent and influential persons as Hon. Oswald Garrison Villard, publisher of the New York Evening Post; Hon. Thomas Ewing, Jr., who is the present United States commissioner of patents; Mrs. La Follette, wife of the Wisconsin senator; Senator Moses Clapp of Minnesota and Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington. Among the many important matters that commanded the attention of the convention was a plan for the organization of a woman's auxiliary to the league, which was proposed and explained by Mr. Harvey of Mount Vernon. The members took up the plan with enthusiasm and unanimously adopted it. Mr. Stephen A. Bennett of Yonkers offered a resolution which cited the alarming and acute conditions confronting the Negro in the country. It emphasized the need for a united effort on the part of every Negro in Westchester county. The work being done by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People was specially commended. The officers are: Paul H. Bray, Yonkers, president; A. B. Young, Osming, vice president; Chris Pryor, White Plains, corresponding secretary; Reginald Allen, Yonkers, recording secretary; A. A. Thornton, Yonkers, treasurer; Howard Van Norden, Port Chester, sergeant-at-arms. The selection of the county executive committee was deferred in order to give the president time to consult the wishes of the members in the locality from which the committee are to be appointed. Brief and interesting speeches for the good of the league were made by Thomas S. Lane, the only Negro member of the Republican city committee of Sterling Lambert, Jordan Crudup of Yonkers, Samuel B. Enlstead of Peekskill, William Nelson and Mr. Moten of Tarrytown, J. W. Owens of White Plains and Howard Van Norden of Port Chester. President Bray is well and favorably known throughout the county. He is an active member of several fraternal organizations. He has served as special deputy grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of the state. All the present time he represents Lincoln lodge No. 17 of this city. Mr. Bray is also the exalted ruler of Westchester lodge, Order of Elks, Tartarrytown, N. J. WILBERFORCE HEADS LIST. Some Facts About the Origin of a Noted School In Ohio. One of the leading magazines of the country, printed in Boston, speaking of Wilberforce university says: "The auditor of the state of Ohio announces that a monthly article will be issued describing the activities of the various departments and institutions of Ohio. The one for July is devoted to Wilberforce university and deals with the progress that has been made in Ohio in the education of the colored race. "The first move to furnish a seminary of learning for the colored race in Ohio originated with Daniel A. Payne, a self educated Negro of Charleston, S. C. As a result of his efforts Union seminary, near Columbus, was organized in 1844. That Payne was one of the great benefactors of his race and had rare foresight is shown by the fact that the school was started on the manual training plan. "Union seminary by reason of location and other circumstances made slow growth, but it was the pioneer and contributed largely to the founding of Wilberforce university and was finally, in 1863, consolidated with the latter institution. While there are numerous small colleges, there are only about a half dozen great universities in America for the higher education of the Negro race—Atlanta university; Fisk, at Nashville; Howard, at Washington; Shaw, at Raleigh; Leland, at New Orleans, and Wilberforce, at Xenla—and Wilberforce stands at the head of the list." INFLUENCE OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDELY FELT. Militant Organization Continues Campaign Against Unjust Legislation. Louisville, Ky.-The colored people of this city are aroused over the segregation ordinance recently passed and are taking steps to protect their interests. Mr. Chapin Biffsmade, the attorney for the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, has been here giving the matter the closest study. On July 5 the local branch of the national association held a great meeting of protest, at which Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National association, and Professor William Pickens of Talladega college were the chief speakers. This is the association which investigated segregation in government departments at Washington, and largely through its efforts that undemocratic movement was checked. In Baltimore, through its local branch, it has twice won segregation cases, the last time before the supreme court of the state. It is now preparing to carry a case brought under the new ordinance in Baltimore to the supreme court of the United States. In Kansas City, where the homes of the colored people were dynamited in order to make them move from a desirable neighborhood, which they owned and had developed and improved, they were unable to obtain redress from city or state authorities until the National association intervened. The association stands for equality of opportunity, equality in the courts, the civil and political rights of the colored man. Its membership includes white and colored. It is not sectional, having branches as far south as Alabama, and Texas and numbering among its members representative southern white people. Its board of directors includes some of the most representative people of both races: Miss Jane Addams, Mr. Oswald Carson Villard, Mr. Archibald II, Grimke, Miss Mary White Orington, Miss Florence Kelley, Dr. John Haynes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Dr. J. E. Spingarn and many others. Dr. Spingarn was for ten years professor of comparative literature in Columbia university. He is internationally known as a scholar, author and critic. His book of verse, "The New Hesperides," has received high praise, numbering among its admirers the late John Hay, who wrote of it in terms of flattering appreciation. Professor William Pickens is known as a teacher and lecturer. He is an orator of remarkable eloquence. He graduated from Yale with high honors, having been elected commencement speaker. FOR NATIONAL PROTECTION. Independent Political League Prepares For Seventh Annual Convention. The seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Political league, to be held in August, will be in the nature of a national gathering of those colored Americans who believe that, in view of the great discrimination, proscription and persecution of colored persons as such, they should have a national organization of self defense and self protection, as every other racial class suffering from prejudice has. All colored citizens who believe that in every state there should be such a self protection organization and that these should be connected into a national whole are urged to attend and also to communicate their views on the subject at once to the corresponding secretary, William Monroe Trotter, at 49 Cornell, Boston. The league hopes for a large attendance from all parts of the country, every church and every society being empowered to send delegates on the bushes of a mainly agitation and use of the ballot. The place of meeting will be announced later. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson II.—Third Quarter, For July 12, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Mark x, 32-45. Memory Verses, 43-45—Golden Text, Mark x, 45—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The first part of this lesson concerning His death and resurrection is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke, but the second part, concerning the request of James and John and their mother, in Matthew and Mark only. The words "In the way" of verses 17, 32, 52; x1, 8; Acts xx, 2, 17, 27, and elsewhere, while they may generally mean nothing more than on the road, are suggestive of Ps. 1, 6; exix, 1; John xiv. 6, and make one think of the way of peace, the way of the Lord (Luke 1, 70; iii, 4), and of what it really means, to follow Him in the way. This is the third time that He spoke plainly of His sufferings and death and resurrection; but, although He words seem so plain to us, they understood none of these things (Luke xvill, 34), because they knew not the Scriptures concerning His death and resurrection (John xx, 9), having their own thoughts about the kingdom, just as many today know nothing of the second coming of Christ, the distinction between the church of the present age and the kingdom of the next age and the ages to come, because they will not take heed to what is written in the prophets concerning the Son of Man and the kingdom to be set up at His coming in glory to judge the nations and to reign in righteousness (Isa. xxxll, 1, 17; xxxiv, 8; xxxv, 4, 10), but persist in thinking that the kingdom is within us and that all that the great work of redemption is for is to deliver people from hell and get them to heaven. This is the age of a kingdom postponed because of a rejected Christ and of gathering out from all nations a people to reign with Him, but who must be content now to suffer with Him, live separate from this present evil age, not conformed to it, but so manifesting in it the meekness, lowliness and love of Christ that we shall show something of His life in these mortal bodies and win people to Him. The Holy Spirit has been given especially in this age to testify of a crucified, risen and ascended Christ, who is waiting at the Father's right hand until the number of His elect, waiting, suffering ones, shall have been completed, when He will take us to Himself, reward us for service, appoint our places in His kingdom and bring us back with Him to reign (Acts xv. 13; 18; Thess. iv. 16; 18; Col. iii. 4; Rev. v. 10). This is no time for a believer to be seeking great things for himself or his church or his denomination or society or in any way to make himself a name, but with all lowliness and meekness and long suffering and patience walk worthy of Him who has called us unto His kingdom and glory (Eph. iv. 1, 2; Col. i. 10, 11; 1 Thess. ii. 12), who came not to be ministered into, but to minister and to give His life a ransom for many (verse 45). Even Jeremiah in his day said to his scribe Baruch, "Seekest thou great things for thyself, seek them not" (Jer. xiv, 5). As it is a case of self or the Lord and cannot be both, we must persist in attaining to the fullness of the experience of "Not I, but Christ who liveth in me"; "Not I, but the grace of God"; "In newness of life dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord"; "Delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh"; "Itisen with Christ and setting our affection on things above" (Gal. ii, 20; Cor. xv, 10; Rom. vi, 4, 11; II Cor. iv, 10; Col. iii, 1-4). Neither James nor John nor their mother seemed to understand when they came seeking preferment in the kingdom, and it did seem so out of place when He had just been speaking of His own sufferings and death. Even on the last night, at the passover, as he spoke of one of them betraying Him, they were striving as to which of them should be the greatest, giving Him occasion to say, "I am among you as he that serveth" (Luke xxii, 21-27). No teacher of man was ever so lonely, misunderstood or unappreciated. There is such a depth of meaning in His words, "No man knoweth the Son but the Father" (Matt. xi, 27): "I live by the Father" (John v1, 57). He spoke of the cup given Him to drink and the baptism of suffering which awaited Him and asked if they could share it, and they thought that their devotion to Him was such that they could share anything with Him, even to dying with Him, as Peter told (John xiii, 37). They did not understand. How could they when they were so dull as not to receive His plain words about His own dying? And when he was arrested that last night and was about to be bound and led away as a prisoner Peter would have delivered Him by his sword if he could. Oh, how little we understand of what it means to follow Him, to manifest His life, to bear the burden of the meek and lowly One, who, when He was reciled, reviled not again; when He suffered He threatened not, leaving us an example that we should follow His steps (I. Pet. II, 21-23). When people sing, "Surely the captain may depend on me," "Fade, each earthly joy," "Thou: O Christ, art all I want," and other similar words they do not often consider what they are saying, nor to whom they are saying these words, nor how it would be if the test came.

We thought we could get some weather when camp meeting season rolled around. Wonder the weather man did not think of starting one a few weeks ago. --- It does seem to be the irony of fate that whenever some one wants something done or does not want it done in a public way the poor "Colored Brother" is held up as a horrid example. Howard Street merchants do not want the Pikesville cars transferred to Eutaw street, and one of the principal reasons given was that a large number of colored persons would find it convenient to ride on them. Just as if colored people would pick out these special cars for their convenient riding. --- To hold a job of any kind for more than a quarter of a century in these strenuous days is something more than a notion, but when it comes to holding people's money constantly for that number of years and especially colored folks' money, a fellow in the language of the street, is "surely going some." And yet this is just what has happened to Mr. James F. Fessenton, who for the past twenty-six years has been treasurer of Enterprize Lodge of Masons, and Mr. James W. Hughes, who has been treasurer of the St. James Society for more than twenty-five years. Both of these organizations are to be congratulated as well as the gentlemen themselves on their long service to their constituents and to the community. CANNOT KEEP HIM BOWN. No one can visit the South and give strict attention to what is going on there among the colored people but will come to the conclusion that after all is said and done the Negro is simply irrepressible. Notwithstanding all the repressive measures taken to keep him down he is bobing up serenely every time, and often in the most unexpected places. One would hardly expect to see in a city where every effort is put forth to keep the Negro down a large two hundred thousand dollar groupe of business buildings owned and controlled by colored people, as can be seen in Atlanta, Ga, or the one hundred and fifty thousand dollar fraternal and office building in Jacksonville, Florida. These are evidences of remarkable growth and development, and these are further emphasized by the splendid homes owned by hundreds yea thousands of colored people through the southland. Not only his but there are a number of little towns and villages all over the South in which everything is owned and controlled by Negroes from post office to ticket agent and railroad agents and even telegraph and telephone operators. This is progress spelled with all capital letters. Let the calamity howlers howl to their hearts' content, the Negro is "risin." --- A CONTRADICTION The thing we call "race-prejudice" is a very peculiar something. In the Sun paper, one day this week, there was an article with respect to the educational standing of the large cities, and Baltimore took her place way down the list, about 13th. It was contended by the writer that the probable cause of such a poor average on the part of Baltimore was occasioned by the large Negro population conspiring to reduce such average. Well, suppose we admit the same. How then can we account for Washington having the second place, next after Boston? The ratio of Negroes to whites in Washington is about twice as great as it is in Baltimore. How then, we ask, can the standing of Washington be accounted for? TERRIBLY STUNG Last fall, the "News-Leader," a white afternoon paper of Richmond, Va., offered a prize of $10 for the best contributed article against "Woman Suffrage." It proved to be an exceedingly lively and spirited contest, 625 persons participated. The successful one promptly received the $10, which was accompanied by a very beautiful letter congratulating the winner, and requesting that she would forward a photograph of herself, so that her cut might appear in the columns of that paper. The woman got the money, but her cut did not appear. Why? When the photograph was sent it turned out to be that of a real fine looking colored woman. Now our readers can well imagine how terribly stung must have been the editor of that white paper. He who is forever boasting of the "superiority" of the white race needed to be taught the emptiness of such a boast in a way that he could not soon forget. He got it alright, and we feel quite sure that he will not soon forget his experience. Just think of it, if you please, a Negro woman winning outright in a contest with 625 persons. Here we have another concrete evicence of the rottenness of the claim of "white" superiority. And we would have such convincing evidence more frequently if the Negro could only be hidden from view until the contest is over. A CHANGE NEEDED One of the reasons why the South is in its present backward condition is because the white people of the South pay more attention to trying to keep the Negro in "his place," whatever that may be. instead of trying to make progress and have the colored man to assist him in doing so. We are creditably informed that Wilmington. N. C., has been falling back in the race ever since that riot took place which drove from it a large element of its very best and most progressive colored people. It has lost its standing as the first city of the old Tar Heel State, and is compelled to take second or even third place. No country in the world has a better and more contented set of laborers than the South, and but for the same spirit which prevails to some extent in this city, and which crops out every now and then, it would be a practical paradise. That the colored people can be made an asset to any community which puts forth just a little effort to help, and assist them to get ahead is exemplified in the little city of Durham N. C. Here active participation in all things for the betterment of the community on the part of both white and colored has greatly enhanced the value of property and is building up one of the most progressive cities in the whole Southland. The spirit of toleration and helpfulness is shown in the progressive colored business men of this city, and which is bringing thousands of dollars to the banks and white business men of that city. This is the right spirit, and if the Bleses, Vardamans, Tilghmans, Williams and Smiths could be smothered with all other THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER agitators of their kind. Much more A TRIBUTE TO could be done. Men of this type in the South are of the same kind and calibre as the I. W. W. in the North and West. They are agitators of the very worst type and if this country is ever to get ahead as it ought to, it has got to sit down on all such agitators, whether in the North or in the South; and the sooner it is gone about in the right way, the better it will be for all parties concerned. Sometime in the future we will probably learn not to keep on fattening people who are opposing our interests, especially when they use us to foster some scheme of their own. We would like to know the names of those Howard street merchants, we would be glad to give them some free advertisement. CHIEF SAM AGAIN IN THE "SPOT" Galveston, Tex., July 10.—Chief Alfred C. Sam and his steamer for African emigrants are here and his followers have gone wild over going to the promised El Dorado. A large number of pilgrims, having sold their property in Oklahoma and elsewhere, were on hand to await the coming of Chief Sam and sail with him over the briny deep—if ever he should go. Money has been pouring into the coffers of the emigration promoters and things look prosperous for the promoters, if not for the prospective emigrants. The vessel was re-christened the Liberia a few days ago, a little colored girl having the honor of cracking a bottle on the ship's bow. GELEBRATE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY Newbern, N.

She was a native of Preston, Md., but was brought to Easton when only three years of age. She attended the public schools until 15 years old, when she entered Storer College, at Harpers Ferry, W. Va., where she remained two years. She then went to Baltimore, where she learned dressmaking, which she followed eight years. She was married to Dudley Butler, and they resided on Druin Hill avenue, Baltimore, until she was taken ill, when she was brought back to her former home in this city. Besides her husband, Mrs. Butler is survived by her parents, J. W. and Henrietta Butler, and one brother. Mrs. Margaret D. Ayers, of Wilmington, Del., was called to the city last week to attend the funeral of her aunt, Mrs. Nancy C. Wilson MR- JAMES W. HUGHES For More Than a Quarter of a Century Treasurer of St. James First African Protestant Episcopal Male Beneficial Society, of Baltimore, Md. The type of men most needed in our day, are of such sterling industry and moral worth, as to insure zeal, honesty and fidelity in any work committed to their hands. In no place or condition, in life do such qualities sustain a more thorough testing and exposure than in the office of guardianship of funds belonging to others. Profoundly appreciating the great worth of our fellow-member Mr. James W. Hughes, in this particular, St. James First African Protestant Episcopal Male Beneficial Society, of Baltimore, would venture this brief tribute in honor of the man who for more than a quarter of a century has had the custody of the funds of this organization. The honesty, fidelity, and gently courtesy which have unfailingly characterized Mr. James W. Hughes in administering the trust confided in him, bespeak a real ground of hope, and increasing advancement in the business world among our people, in proportion as we are able to grow a goodly number of such safe and judicious characters, as will compel both the respect and confidence of the people. Your Committee, in presenting this tribute, recommend that it be spread upon the proceedings of the Society, and that a copy of the same be published in "The Afro-American Ledger" of this city.

Washington, July 10.—William F. Powell, former United States minister to Hayti, is among those mentioned in connection with the position of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, from which Henry Lincoln Johnson, of Atlanta, retired last week. The position, it is said, may be given to some New Jersey colored Democrat, and Mr. Powell, who lives at Camden, is said to be the man most likely to get it. A. B. Cosey, of Trenton, N. J., and Attorney Penn, of Passaic, are other New Jersey men who have been mentioned in connection with the position. It is claimed that Mr. Cosey has been eliminated from consideration. James A. Ross, of Buffalo, has made a most energetic campaign for the position but charges, it is said, have been brought against his Western New York Democrat. Others who have been mentioned include Rev. J. F. Lee, of Harrisburg, Pa., Rev. J. Milton Waldron and Fountain Peyton, both of this city. Mr. Powell taught school in Camden for many years. He was appointed minister to Hayti by President McKinley and held the position for seven years. He is a thirty-degree Mason and is prominent as a Mystic Shriner and Knights Templar. He supported President Wilson in 1912. President Wilson sent the name of Robert Davis, a white man of Petersburg, Va., to the Senate as secretary of the American legation at Port au Prince, Hayti Wednesday. Arthur Bailly Blanchard, a white man from Louisiana, is the present minister to that country. SPORTS & ATHLETICS By SPORTSMAN A great outing on the Fourth of July was given by the Rod and Gun Club of Baltimore and Ladies Auxiliary of the Club. The outing was held at Mr. Luther Tucker's farm at Reisterstown. There were many invited guests from this and other cities. The party was motored out in a big sight seeing car, that was beautifully decorated with flags, bunting and festooning of the national colors. The party started from the residence of Capt. Wm. A. White, 422 N. Pine street at 8.30 a.m. An abundance of good things were carried along: ice cream and soft drinks were included. Pigeon shooting, croquet, and baseball were among the pleasures indulged in. The trip consumed 14 hours. With one accord the outing was voted an immense success. There were 70 persons in the party. An interesting feature of the day were two teams of ladies shooters. They did exceedingly well, and the following men faced the traps. H. N. Williams 25 24 R. H. Butler 25 22 J. R. Dolman 25 20 J. A. Talbott 25 19 Wm. A. White 25 18 Frank J. Mason 25 18 Wm. I. Butler 25 17 Benj. Borney 25 15 Wm.

On July 4th the Black Sox and the Paret-Memorials, the latter a local crack white team, split even in a double header at Jack Dunn's Back River Park by close scores. The features of the game were the playing of Matthews, Burrell, Lewis, Johnson, Smith and the clever pitching of Waters. In fact the whole team played a faultless game. The scores 1st game 2 to 1 Black Sox; 2nd game 3 to 0 Paret-Memorials. Walter Williams, secretary of the club has a plan on foot to have game in the near future for the benefit of Provident Hospital. A large crowd witnessed the games. The Catonsville Social Giants baseball team has leased for the summer a lot from Mrs. Maggie Lynch. The manager of the grounds is Mr. James Wormley. Games will be played weekly arrangements are being made to seat all. The Easton White Sox baseball team defeated the Salisbury Colts team July 4th, at Federal Park, Easton.

BOOSTS AND KNOCKS It seems strange that colored people continually suffer what seems to be uncalled for discriminations in order that they gratify some whim. At one time those who usually run excursions waited until the chilly days of September, when they would charter one of the boats of the Tolchester Company for an excursion. Of course, this company has a summer resort of its own and needs' at least one of its boats each day for that purpose. But it is claimed that colored passengers who venture to go on the excursion boat in order to reach some point in Kent county have many times found conditions not too pleasant. The disinclination of the company to hire its boats to colored excursion promoters was charged, however, after Captain George W. Brown secured the Starlight, and now dates in July and August are as much desired by the company as one were at one time in September. But with the added number of dates booked for colored excursions came the hunting of the excursionists this summer from the Light street terminal of the company to Pratt street and Market Place. The wharf is convenient to reach, but the colored excursionists going here will not come in contact with whites who are on their way to Tolchester. Several churches have recently given outings to Cambridge on the steamer Annapolis, but those who went had to embark at Pratt street and Market Place. The excursion promoters say that they do not know why the change was made, and some think that while the company does not hesitate to book colored excursions, it prefers that they be not run from its main wharf. It may be added that the steamer Starlight, which is owned and manned by colored people can carry as many as usually go on one of the boats of the Tolchester Company. It does seem strange that we are willing to suffer such discrimination when we are not at all compelled to do so. MISS BUTLER LAID TO REST The funeral of Miss Ethel Butler, who died suddenly Monday morning just as she was about to undergo an operation for an affection of the throat, was held at 575 Dolphin street Thursday afternoon. Rev L. S. Flagg, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, officiated. Interment was in Laurel cemetery. The deceased was well and favorably known and her death came as a shock to her many friends. She was educated in the public schools, graduating from the Colored High School in 1907, after which she entered the Teachers' Training School. She was a teacher in School No. 109, Fremont avenue and King streets. She was a member of the Alumni Association of the Colored High School. Her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Butler, survives. MAY GET JOB HERE Dr. Wm H. Cargill, son of Dr. and Mrs. J. Marcus Cargill, is one of the successful candidates of the recent Tennessee State Board medical examination. Dr. Cargill is a graduate of the local High School and began his medical training at Howard University, but subsequently entered Meharry College, Walden University, where he was received as a member of the faculty, serving in the capacity as instructor of the violin in the music department which position he held until his graduation. [STATE NORMAL TEACHERS REELECTED] Prof. D. S. Goodloe and Prof. J. W. Williams, the respective principal and vice principal of the State Normal School, along with the other members of the faculty, have been re-elected for the ensuing year by the State Board of Education.

Smith, beloved wife of Morris F. Smith, wishes to correct the age of her husband which was found in official list as 33 years is false. He will be 29, November 30, 1914. ...SPECIAL NOTICES... REPORT OF RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES DURING FIVE YEARS AT TRINITY A. M. E. CHURCH Baltimore, June 80th, 1914 At a meeting held on June 19th, 1914, a large membership being present, a motion was made and unanimously carried, that a committee be appointed to audit the books for the past five years during the administration of the following trustees: JAMES WARD SAMUEL JOHNSON, Treasurer JOHN H.

On every item the Secretary's books tallied with the Treas. ures's book. During the administration the treasurer was bonded in the American Bonding Company, now merged into the Fidelity Company.

Crawford PYTHIANS TO HAVE LIVELY SESSION Fight For Grand Chancellorship Expected to be the Hottest in the History of the Order LINES ARE SHARPLY DRAWN Strong Fight May Be Waged Against the Inanguration of a Representative Vote When the Knights of Pythias of Maryland meet at Salisbury on the 21st of this month to hold their annual session, the stage will be set for one of the hottest fights in the history of Pythianism in this State. The rival factions will be led by Mr. George A. Watty, who has been at the head of the order in this State for a number of years and who is a candidate for reelection, and Mr. John W. Rich, who is president of the Pythian Joint Stock Association, and a candidate for the office now held by Mr. Watty. The fight between the two factions, which has been going on for some time, more or less under cover, reached a climax at the banquet held at the recent dedication of the new Pythian Castle Hall, which resulted in both factions using the affair to further the interests of their respective candidates. Since that time the friends of both candidates have been working unceasingly and a great deal of feeling has been exhibited on both sides thus far. Indeed, rumors have been heard that only the most diplomatic handling will prevent a solit in the order. The real fight will most likely be started at the session when the attempt is made to inaugurate the rule by representative vote. Heretofore, every member of the Grand Lodge has had the privilege of voting, but under the new constitution passed at the Supreme Lodge: session in Baltimore last August, it is claimed, that only one representative is allowed from each lodge. Friends of the Rich forces are contending that as this section has always been a part of the constitution and has been inactive, it is being used to thwart the determination of a majority of the past chancellors to effect a change in the administration. The friends of the Watty faction strenuously deny that such is the case and aver that the representative vote is not of their own making and they are simply following the maudates of their superiors. Friends of Mr. Watty are pointing to the excellent record he made as grand chancellor during the past seven years, bringing the order up from a mere shadow to its present state of affluence. They are also pointing to his work in connection with the bringing to the city of Baltimore of the Supreme Lodge and its entertainment while here. Among those who are urging his reelection are George T. Brent, J. Edward Smith, Rev, S. S. Jolley and many others. Mr. Rich's friends are urging his candidacy on the ground that there is a demand for a change in the administrative department of the order and that he (Rich) is the best man available for the position. They point to his work in the new Pythian Hall as an evidence of his eminent fitness. His candidacy is being urged by Charles W. Simms, Truly Hatchett, George H. Carter and others Second in importance to the fight for grand chancellor will most probably be the attempt to oust Dr. Charles H. Fowler from the position of medical examiner. Dr. Fowler has held this position for the past fifteen years and there seems to be an insistent demand in some quarters, that he step down and thus make way for some young er man. Dr. Harry F. Brown has a number of friends who are urging him enter the race and should he do so, it is generally conceded that his chances will be exceedingly bright. BOY SCOUTS CAMP OUT: The Boy Scouts of Centennial M. E. Church camped out at Lake Montebello, Saturday. They marched from their quarters to their camping ground. A large crowd was attracted by their presence. Capt. George W. Mitchell was in charge of the boys, who numbered JOHN W. RICH GEORGE A. WATTY CHARLES W. SIMMS GEORGE T. BRENT SAILS FOR THE HOLY LAND. The Washington Post "Holy Land Contest" thru which the fifteen most popular ministers of the District of Columbia were to be given a trip to the Holy Land resulted in the election of Dr. M. W. Clair, who not only headed eleven of the contestants but was one of the prize winners. Dr. Clair sails on the eleventh of July for Naples, Constantinople, Athens, spending eighteen days in Syria, Galilee, Lower Palestine and Egypt returning home about the twenty-first of September. The District Messenger exten's hearty congratulations to Dr. Clair and the people of Washington who voted him their confidence and appreciation. We however register our disappointment that in this tour of fifteen ministers of the gospel the color line is to be drawn and Dr. Clair is compelled to sail on another ship, altho reservation has been made for fifteen on the ship which will take fourteen of these successful Gospel Ministers of Washington. We have every reason to believe that the Washington Post has been absolutely far in dealing with Dr. Clair. The company of ministers however had to group themselves, three to a state room, five state rooms in all. Dr. Clair is a colored man, he would have to sleep in a room with two white ministers. One Rev. Dr. Prettyman of the M. E. Church, South, assured the Washington Post that Dr. Clair's presence would not embarass him in the least but there was not another. The management of the steamship, had no other provisions but the reservation for fifteen ministers of the gospel. The Washington Post stood ready to pay for these fifteen as per contract. The matter seemed to be up to the ministers themselves. Result — Dr. Clair sails alone on another ship The Washington Post going to the additional expense of providing a Guide for a separate Holy Land tour—The District Messenger "SEGREGATION." Kelly Miller says in the Washington Evening Star: 'Seperate but equal accommodations for both races' is the slogan of 'jim crow' legislation. Experience shows that this is impracticable, as reflection would show it to be impossible. Identity is the essence of equality in all public functions. Two non-interchangeable parts cannot long maintain their original parity. If some of our sagscious statesmen should secure the enactment of a law that there shall be different weights and measures for the two races, but that the two yardsticks shall have the same length and that pound weights shall contain the same number of ounces; provided that no Negro shall be accommodated by the white man's units of weight and measure, and vice versa, under heavy penalty THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER of law; in the short process of time, human nature remaining what we know it to be, the Negro would be receiving the lighter weight and the shorter measure. The man who cannot proteot himself will become the victim in every issue where his interests are separated from those of the community at large. If there were two standards of coinage, of the same weight and fineness, only that the one set of coins must forever circulate among Negroes, the other among white people, the black man's coins would immediately depreciate in comparison. The parity could only be maintained by free interchyngeability." DENTON NOTES (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Denton, Md., July 9.—Rev. G. H. Fitchett, pastor of Bethel A. M. E.

Dr. Washington's Report New York City.-The annual meeting of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute board of trustees was held at the rooms of the general education board of the Rockefeller foundation, in this city, the last week in June. Among the members present were the Hon. Seth Low, New York city, chairman; Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago; Mr. William C. Willcox, New York city; Mr. Charles E. Mason, Boston; Mr. C. W. Hare, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. William Jay Schlefellin, New York city; Mr. V. H. Tulane, Montgomery, Ala.; Mr. William M. Scott, Philadelphia; Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer, and Mr. Emmet J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. There were present also at the meeting Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant, and Mr. R. R. Taylor, director of mechanical industries, Tuskegee institute. Major R. R. Moton of the Hampton Institute, Dr. James H. Dillard of the Jeannes fund board and Hon. J. C. Nupler, former register of the United States treasury, were invited to sit with the board during its proceedings. The most important section of the board was the election of three new trustees, Mr. George McAneny, president of the board of aldermen, New York city, succeeding the late Robert C. Ogden; Mr. Edward A. Bancroft, chief counsel of the International Harvester company, Chicago, Ill., succeeding the late Dr. John C. Grant of Chicago, and Dr. Alexander Mann, rector of Trinity church, Boston. The institute's budget for the year 1914-15, calling for an appropriation approximating $296,000 was approved. The effectiveness of the institute's work in the south in rural school building and its leadership in urging its students to develop farming colonies were matters of especial mention. The report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of the institute, was listened to with particular interest, and his recommendation calling for a retiring fund for Tuskegee institute teachers and other matters of especial interest with regard to the institute's work during the past year received the special consideration of the board. It is the plan to print and circulate Dr. Washington's report as a separate publication early in the fall. The report shows that altogether the school has received from all sources during the past twelve months for current expenses, permanent improvements, additions to the endowment and for special purposes $473,764.92, an increase of $113,432, or 32 per cent, over the past year's receipts. The report of the principal and treasurer showed that 849 colored people had contributed toward the expenses of the Tuskegee institute during the past year. While it is not a matter legally or directly connected with the work of the institute, nevertheless a plan was launched at the meeting by which 1,750 acres of land have been purchased near the institute with a view of encouraging young colored men, preferably graduated from the agricultural department of the Tuskegee institute, to settle and become farmers. The money to purchase the land outright was provided, and the land is now being surveyed for the purpose of erecting houses on it for prospective purchasers. It is the idea to make a model Negro farming settlement. On the tract of land are already a gin, store and railroad station. In addition to securing the money for paying for this land, the money was subscribed to pay all the expenses in connection with operating the experiment for a given period. During the meeting of the board of trustees in New York city news was published in the New York newspapers that the Tuskegee institute is to receive $50,000 under the will of the late Mrs. Morris K. Jesup. BELIEVES IN FAIR PLAY. Miss Maud Reynolds Corrects Mistake Regarding Home For Wayward Girl. Roanoke, Va., In a letter to H. C. Young, editor of the Newport News Star, Newport News, Va., Miss Maud Reynolds of this city makes the following statement regarding her connection with the Virginia State Federation of Women's Clubs: In a recent issue of your spicy journal it was stated that I am the founder of the home for wayward girl. I am not the founder and do not wish to take honors which do not belong to me. This institution is being established by the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs under the leadership of Mrs. J. Barrett of Hampton, Va. I am simply one of the officers, working for the office. I regret very seriously that this mistake has been published, and I do hope that the above corrections will place me in the proper light before the public. Respectfully. (MISS) MAUD REYNOLDS. Roanoke, Va. Meeting of the Jeanes Fund Board. The executive committee meeting of the Jeanes fund board was held in the rooms of the general education board in New York recently, with the following named members present: Dr. Booker T. Washington, chairman of the executive committee; Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the fund; Major R. R. Moton, secretary; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, Richmond Medical-college, Richmond, Va.; Hon. J. C. Napier, former register of the United States treasury, Nashville, Tenn. E. J. Scott, secretary of the Tuskegee Institute, was on motion asked to sit with the board during its deliberations. The board controls a fund of $1,000-000, the interest upon which, some $40,000, is spent in the south each year among the rural schools for colored people. The report of the year's work was most interesting. HOW ABOUT YOUR EYES? PROPER GLASSES!

ABLE FINANCIER AND CHURCHMAN Splendid Work of Dr. John R. Hawkins. Scholarly Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church Pays Fine Tribute to Business Tact of Bishop Payne. Educational Work of the Denomination Covers Wide Field. Washington.-The great educational work that is being done by the African Methodist Episcopal church is largely stimulated by one of its most prominent laymen, who did a remarkable work for the denomination as secretary of education. In this position Dr. John R. Hawkins became one of the leading educators of the race. Having demonstrated his ability as a financier worthy of any office that his great denomination could bestow upon him, he was elected at the last general conference of this body as financial secretary and was the first layman to be honored in this manner by this connection. Dr. Hawkins is always the principal speaker at the educational congresses of the various conferences of the church, and in speaking recently of the remarkable progress the race is making along educational lines he said: "But the most striking feature of this subject is that which relates to the spirit of 'self help' manifested by the colored people toward establishing and maintaining schools for themselves, schools for our youths, with all colored teachers, colored presidents, colored trustees and supported by con- [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. DR. JOHN R. HAWRINS. tributions principally from colored people. First among these is the African Methodist Episcopal church, which has set the pace for all other denominations in this field of work. "It was a bold undertaking on the part of Bishop Payne when he signed a contract to pay $10,000 without knowing where he could get the first ten dollar bill. But he knew that behind him was a great church with a following of loyal people with great hopes and great possibilities. That obligation was met, and since then this noble man has gone on from one field to another laughing at opposition, removing obstacles, overcoming difficulties and establishing and maintaining schools and colleges. "Today the church stands before the world with twenty-four schools, 5,575 students, 224 teachers and school property valued at $1,650,000. To maintain these schools it is necessary to provide for current expenses of at least $300,000, which is done by volunteer contributions from the members and friends of the church from year to year. "I do it not boastingly when I tell to the world the story of our rise and progress, either as a race or as one special church organization of a certain race. A better idea of what the A. M. E. church is doing as an organization may be had when I tell you that one of the greatest demonstrations of our financial worth is shown in the business of the financial department of the A. M. E. church. There has been reported to this office alone during the fiscal year for which I have just given an account $221.050.75, which represents an increase over last year of $13.135.84. "This item does not include any money reported at our annual conferences or for any purpose whatever except that classed as 'dollar money.' If we add to our 'dollar money' collections all the funds raised and reported at our annual conferences we will show a table of business for one year of at least $1,500,000. "I am sure this is a splendid showing for one church organization of a baby race. This is but a part of the Negro's contribution to the uplift of humanity for in these fifty years the colored people have, with courage and faith in God and in themselves, come bravely to the altar of duty and laid upon it their contributions with unmeasured cheerfulness." ZEALOUS WORKER FOR EDUCATION Success of Miss N. E. Butler as School Supervisor. KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Personal Story of the Labors of a Tuskegee Institute Graduate Among the People of Caroline County, Va. Hearty Cooperation In Effort to Secure Better Schoolhouses. Mrs. Nannie Lee Butler, who was graduated from Tuskegee institute in 1911 and is now serving as an industrial supervising teacher in Caroline county, Va., tells an interesting and prophetic story of the awakening of the colored people to the possibility of having, even under most adverse conditions, better schools, better homes and better community response to pressing needs. "Shortly after I took up my work as an industrial supervisor the state of Virginia, through the superintendent of public instruction, offered to provide the salary of a second teacher for every community that would build a two room school according to the state plans," said Mrs. Butler on a recent visit to Hampton institute. "I went into four communities and tried to show the advantages and wisdom of heading this call. Each community that I visited, although it was poor, took up the struggle, and by personal contributions of work, money and materials all of the four schools, each costing $1,500 and having two teachers, have been built and occupied during the last year. "Sacrifices were made by our people to accomplish this result. At Bowling Green one man, whose property holdings are valued at only a thousand dollars and who has a growing family of eight to support, gave out of his weekly earnings in one year $250. How did he do it? Not all at once at some big rally. Sometimes at the freight office he would pay a bill for lime, cement or other material, and at the next meeting of the School Improvement league he would quietly hand the receipt to the treasurer. "One man who did the mason work gave one-half of his time free. Another man who lives in a shabby, rented tenement, contributed $5 of the $8 he had received for laying the cement floors of the porches. Still another man who did not have the ready money did have timber land. from which he cut and hauled logs to the mill and contributed the lumber cut from them. "To push the work more rapidly the women gathered at one school, and while the men of the community put on the weather boarding the women nailed on the laths on all the side walls and finished their tasks without a smashed finger. Many of the women who are helping to support their families by washing (and, I might say, that 25 cents is the price paid for an individual laundry in Caroline county) have time and time again contributed the whole amount to push along the work of school building. "Last year the colored people raised by contributions, without help from the school board, some $5,400 for buildings and school improvements. We are now striving to raise $6,000 to build four more graded schools. We are also striving to collect $200 to equip properly the workroom at Bowling Green, for wherever new graded schools have supplanted the one room schools we are endeavoring to use the old buildings as workrooms in which will be taught sewing, cooking and housekeeping to the girls and manual training to the boys. Every school that has been reached has been awakened to the idea of doing something definite to improve conditions and to make the school buildings and grounds attractive. "Through the summer work we have been better able to reach the homes, and by teaching the children in their own homes we have been able to influence the mothers. Wherever possible mothers' clubs have been formed. They have for their purpose not the raising of money for the schools, but the changing of the morals and the manners of the children in the home, along the highway and in the school. "My preparation for work in this great forward movement I owe to Tuskegee. There from the big heart of Dr. Booker T. Washington I learned the lessons of unselfishness and service. In sending me out to do industrial work he took me by the hand and said, 'We don't expect you to fall.' Thus he gave me inspiration to put in practice the lessons he had learned at Hampton and which he had taught me at Tuskegee." Georgia Educators to Meet July 28. President Richard R. Wright of the Georgia State college in Savannah, Ga., ins again shown his interest in the cause of education by agreeing to entertain the members of the Georgia Association of Teachers in colored schools at the annual meeting of the association, to be held in Savannah, beginning Tuesday morning, July 28, for two days free of charge. Professor M. W. Reddick, president of the association, says that the program for the coming session will be one of unusual interest. He, therefore, urges a large attendance. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER Notable Work of Dr. Robert T. Burt in Clarksville, Tenn. Clarksville, Tenn.-There are few states of its size which have to their credit a larger number of business and professional men of wide influence and ability than is true of Tennessee. Her educational institutions, churches and agricultural interests are manned by some of the most experienced men and women among our people in this country. The largest publishing house in the world owned and operated by colored men is in this state. One of the best medical colleges and also one of the leading institutions of learning is the proud heritage of Tennessee. In this thrifty community we have one of the leading physicians of our race in the person of Dr. Robert T. Burt, M. D., a graduate of the Meharry Medical college, Nashville, Tennessee.

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.
