Franklin Carr ACTUATED BY HIGH MOTIVES Carr Claims That in Urging Vanderbilt to Accept Colonelcy He Was Working For Good of The Regiment. New York, July 16.—An aftermath of the dismissal of C. Franklin Carr, a funeral director, from the position of adjutant in the Provisional Colored Regiment came with the filing; of a joint suit against Charles W. Fillmore, colonel of the regiment, and the Amsterdam News, claiming $5,000 damages for alleged defamation of character. Carr was shorn of his shoulder straps and the right to wear a uniform on July 2, by Colonel Fillmore and other members of the board of administration. The charges against him were the favored Corneilius Vanderbilt, an aristocratic millionaire, for the position of colonel, and this the board of administration considered as disloyalty. The Amsterdam News published the version of the dismissal as given by Colonel Fillmore and the sponsor of Vanderbilt felt that his prestige was damaged to the extent of $5,000. Mr. Carr contends that he was actuated by the highest motives in his overtures to Mr. Vanderbilt, and declares that one of the reasons that the colored regiment has not been formally recognized as a member of the State militia was that Major General O'Brien and Brig. Gen. Hamilton objected to colored officers. It was to overcome this objection and at the same time give the regiment standing, he avers, that he sought Mr. Vanderbilt's acceptancy of the colony. In their answer to Mr. Carr's allegations, Colonel Fillmore and James H. Anderson, managing editor of the Amsterdam News, through their attorneys, J. Frank Wheaton and James L. Curtis, assert that they acted without malice in publishing the story of Carr's dismissal and that the reasons given therefore are true. The defendants point out in their answer that if Vanderbilt became colonel of the regiment through Carr's activities that the latter would be the real colonel and that Vanderbilt would ne the colonel only for parade purposes. Carr as adjutant and as military secretary to "Colonel" Vanderbilt would receive such a salary that would place him far ahead of others connected with the regiment, it is claimed. Carr, they point out, had dreams of heading the regiment, but the active work of Colonel Fillmore in trying to organize it soon made this ambition impossible of fulfilment. Col Fillmore saw service in the Spanish-American war being connected with the Ninth Ohio Battalion. Battalion. It is thought by some that legal proceedings should be instituted against the Adjutant-General who is charged with using dilitary tactics to compel the mustering of 26 STOCK RAISING AT TUSKEGEE Scarcity of Good Livestock Makes This Branch of Work at Tuskegee Popular. (Special to The Afro-American Ledger.) Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, July 16.—Time was when it was said that every colored man could train a horse and charm a mule, but the demand for good horses and better mules throughout the country has created a demand for a scientific and not a general knowledge of live stock. The advent of the horselass vehicle instead of decreasing the demand for horses and mules has increased the demand, and the supply seems unable to keep up. All this is explained in the widening of farm interests in every section of the country, particularly in the South. The mule markets of Missouri report that there was never more than now a bigger call on them for good animals, and the horse markets in both the East and West are searching every section for good horses. The big trading stalls in Memphis in their last bulletin report that prices for good mules and horses are 20 per cent higher than last year, and that well bred animals find an easier market than at any time since 1892. Instead of going down it is reported that the calling price for mules and horses has steadily gone up since the automobile industry began. Tuskegee Institute has long recognized this increasing demand for good animals and has sought to raise its department of mule and horse breeding and the care of such animals, to the highest state of efficiency. This division of the school's agricultural department has a corps of competent instructors who know how to breed and care for such animals to maturity. There are in the department at present, 150 head of horses and mules and a number of fine specimens of horses and mule colts which have been bred on the school grounds. There is a veterinary department, in charge of a graduate veterinarian, where horses and mules are studied from hoof to mane, and where a thorough knowledge of diseases and treatment of animals is given to a large number of young men each year. BALTIMOREANS ENTERTAINED AT NARAGANSETT PIER Narragansett Pier, R. I., July 18.—Mr. Wm. Garland of St. Louis, Missouri entertained at Green Gable Cottage the following: Messrs. Lewis H. Murray, Robert Brooks, Frank J. Sorrell, Willie Daniels, Lewis Weaver, John Thompson and Rossie Toulson. PASSING OF LAST OF THE "OLD GUARD" Death of Colonel James W. Lewis Removes Picturesque Figure of the Reconstruc- From Poverty and Ignorance He Succeeds in Making Himself A Power In the Peli- New Orleans, La., July 16. With the death of Col. James W. Lewis last Saturday one of the last of the picturesque figures of the Reconstruction Era passed away. The colonel was nearly 80 years of age. Without early advantages of education, Colonel Lewis succeeded in educating himself and making himself one of the most influential men in the State. He was a member of many Republican National Conventions and was one of the 306 who stood out for the renomination of President Grant for a third term in 1880. He was easily one of the foremost of the men who came to the front in the South after the Civil War. Contemporary with him were the late James Hill, of Mississippi; the late William A. Pledger, of Georgia; the late Wright Cuney, of Texas; the late Senator Blanche K. Bruce, of Mississippi; Hiram Watty, cf Maryland; Senator H ram Revel, who succeeded Jefferson Davis in the United States Senate; John R. Lynch and P. B. S. Pinchback. President Hayes appointed him United Staies Naval officer, and Garfield appointed him surveyor of the port. He was a deputy collector of customs under President Harrison. Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt appointed him surveyor of the port, which position he retired from a year ago. He had also held important positions under the city government. Col. Lewis was a Civil War veteran and had served as department commander of the G.A.R. He was a thirty-three degree, Mason was prominent as a Mystic Shriner and a Scottish Rite Mason. He was a familiar figure in many inaugural parades. "STOP RAISING HELL." Philadelphia Pa., July 16th Over 500 people attended the Baptismal Ceremony at Cobb's Creek, 69th and Market streets on Sunday, when eight people were baptized by Rev. Henry Y. Arnett who is gaining much popularity through his sermon "Stop Raising Hell." SUB-COMMITTEE OF ODD FELLOWS IN SESSION Philadelphia, July 17.—The status of the Grand United Order of Odd fellows, as well as questions that will come before the Biennial Movable Committee in Boston in September were discussed at the semi-annual session of the Subcommittee of Management here this week. Despite the fact that some of those in attendance represent widely divergent views regarding the running of the order, there was apparent harmony. In an informal way, candidates for the various positions that will be filled at the coming session of the Biennial Movable Committee were discussed. The terms of all the officers, save that of grand secretary, expire by limitation this year. Among the suggested changes in the laws of the order is one for making the grand master eligible for more than two successive terms. Grand Master Edward H. Morris, who presided, is not a candidate for re-election, but conditions may so shape themselves that he will be drawn into the fight. Henry Lincoln Johnson, the present deputy grand master, is a candidate for grand master, but he has not received enough assurances to place him in the winning class as yet. A number of those at present holding positions will be candidates for other positions. LOSING FAITH IN CHIEF SAM LOSING FAITH IN CHIEF SAM Investors In Chief Sam's Back to Africa Scheme Are Petulent at Delay in Starting Galveston, Tex., July 16.—According to the expressions made by several hundred prospective emigrants to Africa, who have been here since March waiting for Chief Alfred C. Sam's boat Liberia to sail for Liberia, faith in the Chief and his Akim Trading Company will be lost if the Liberia does not soon head for Monrovia or some nearby seaport. Several thousand people in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas have it is said invested $250,000 on the strength of the big promises mage. The Liberia, which was purchased out of this fund, has been in port there for the last three weeks. Hundreds of curious people have visited the vessel, each paying 25 cents. To have a little confab with the chief costs an additional quarter, and even the deckhands look for tips. Things have been rather "soft" for the Chief, and the money is still pouring in from those who have been attracted by the alluring prospects held out by the promoters of the Akim Trading Company, as well as those who have invested in the stock of the company. GENERAL SEGRETARY OF Y. M. C. A. TO RESIGN According to current gossip, W. F. DeBardeleben, general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, has resigned and will work in Kentucky as a missionary under the Presbyterian Board of Sunday Schools. Mr. DeBardeleben succeeded P. A. C. Goines, who is now secretary of the Y. M. C. A. in Bluefield, W. Va. He is a native of South Carolina and was educated at Lincoln University, Oxford, Pa. Before coming to this city he had charge of the Y. M. C. A. in Monclair, N. J. It is also reported that William H. J. Beckett, instructor in physical training in the Washington Y. M. C. A., will he invited to take the place vacated by Mr. DeBardeleben. Mr. Beckett is well known in this city, having graduated from the Colored High School and the Y. M. C. A. Training School at Springfield, Mass. He was instructor of physical training at the High School and at the Summer High School, St. Louis, before assuming his present position. He is the son of the late John W. Beckett, who at one time pastored several A. M. E. Churches here. PRICE THREE CENTS RAILROAD DAY CELEBRATED GENERALLY Definite Action Taken In Many Places to Try to Eradicate Deplorable Conditions of Long Standing RAILROADS ARE INTERESTED. In Several Instances Promises Are Made By Railroad Officials to Improve Existing Conditions. Tuskegee, Ala., July 16.—According to reports received from the "railroad day" observance, suggested by Dr. Booker T. Washington, a number of railroads in the South may improve the unspeakable conditions which the colored traveling public has had to undergo. Sermons were preached in all parts of the country and in a number of places definite action was taken to try to eradicate the evils of which their has long been complaint. The work done in a number of places follows: Representative colored citizens of Louisville called on the general passenger agents there and conferred with them relative to better railroad accommodations for colored passengers. The committee was very cordially received and a satisfactory conference was held. The agents admitted that the discriminations existed, but claimed that they were due to public sentiment and consequent legislation. However, the committee was told that some of the discriminations were contrary to the regulations and they were asked to report any violations of the rules so that steps may be taken to right matters. It was promised that the matter of providing meals and sleeping cars for colored passengers would be taken up with the different railroads, in the hope that something can be done to better conditions. The Colored Men's Business League of Spokane, Wash., addressed a letter to the Trans-Continental Passenger Association, of Chicago, urging the body to use its influence to improve the conditions complained of by Dr. Washington. The league took occasion to thank the association for the fact that the conditions complained of by colored passengers in the South do not obtain in the State of Washington. A large mass meeting was held in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, Birmingham, Ala., under the auspices of the Birmingham Civic and Educational League, to make protests against the injuities made possible by the present separate car law of the South. After listening to strong addresses on the subject by a number of prominent colored citizens, letters were addressed to the nine railroads entering Birmingham, to the State Railroad Commission, and to the United States Interstate Commerce Commission, calling attention to the many discriminations which are made against Negroes on public carriers, and asking for some remedy. Highly satisfactory reports have come from New Orleans where the people, including the chairman, Dr. Robt. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, met in the Central Congregations Church and issued an appeal to the public and the railroads urging better accommodations for colored passengers. The daily Times-Picayune devoted considerable space to a report of the meeting, and it showed that committees were appointed to consult the representatives of the twelve railroads entering New Orleans. The opening words of the appeal, according to the Times-Picayune, follow: "It is a matter of no small significance that the Negroes of the country under the leadership of the true and tried apostle of peace, Booker T. Washington, are gathered together in their home towns and cities to invite national and local consideration of the public humiliation and injustice forced upon the race by the prevailing methods of operating the separate care laws." MASONS OF HIGH DEGREE TO MEET Extensive Preparations Are Being Made to Entertain Shriners and Knights Templar Pittsburgh, Pa., July 16.—Extensive preparations are being made for the entertainment of the Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the International Conference of Knights Templar, Daughters of Isis, Eastern Star and kindred orders of Masonry which will meet here the week beginning August 3rd, and continuing during the week. The Imperial Council opens its sessions Monday in Labor Temple, and the International Conference on Tuesday. The parade of the Shriners will take place on Wednesday afternoon and is expected that there will be from seven to ten hundred Shriners in line with a number of Arab Patrols with their picturesque costumes and bands. This will be the feature of the week. Shriners will be present from all parts of the United States, and they are expected to make a lively bunch, and to keep things going at all times. The parade of the Templars will take place Thursday afternoon and will be an imposing procession. A prize drill will take place the same afternoon and at night an entertainment will be given in their honor. The principal entertainment will be held on Wednesday night, which will be designated as Shriner's night, and will be attended by the Arab Patrols, other Shriners and the Daughters of Isis. A vaudeville entertainment will be a feature of the evening. TO FILE PROTEST WITH Birmingham, Ala., July 16. Because of their exclusion from participation in the councils and conventions of the Progressive and Republican parties in Alabama, leading colored men in the State will file a protest with the national committees of both parties protesting against their exclusion. There has been contention here for years over "illywhite" conditions in the Republican party and the Progressives in Alabama seem to be following the same policy. TO IMPROVE NEGRO SCHOOL Lexington, Ky., July 16.—One hundred thousand dollars is to be spent in the near future enlarging Chandler Normal School, the leading colored institution of central Kentucky. The improvement will include a manual training department and two new dormitories. "SELFHELP"PLEA OF RACE LEADER Calls on His People to Support Own Schools. HEADS COMING CONVENTION Rev. Dr. Johnson Will Preside Over Meeting of Mississippi Baptists—Ho Has Worked Hard For Church and Education For Thirty Years. Pleads Cause of Natchez College. Natchez, Miss.—The annual meeting of the Mississippi Baptist state convention will be held in this city beginning on Tuesday morning, July 21. It will be attended by some of the most noted ministers and laymen in the state who are struggling to make the race better. At the head of the convention is one of the leading pastors and preachers in America, Rev. A. M. Johnson, D. D., pastor of the Jackson Street Baptist church, Vicksburg, Miss., who is foremost in the educational work. The Baptists of Mississippi are doing some splendid educational work. Dr. Johnson started from the ground, so to speak, and worked his way to the top. For the past ten years the convention has honored him with the position of president because of his ability as a presiding officer, a worker and a preacher. He lives in the hearts of his people. During his administration many improvements have been made at Natchite college, the leading school operated by the members of the race in the state. This school was started by the Baptists, was erected by the Baptists and is now supported by the Mississippi Baptists. A dormitory for girls has been erected during the administration of Dr. Johnson at a cost of $23,500. It is of interest to know that he has been in the pastorate for the past thirty years, and during this time has erected three churches, the first at a cost of $3,000, the second for $5,000 and the last one for $20,000. He has served as general missionary of the state for four years, and educational secretary for six years. Not only has he been at the head of the convention, but Dr. Johnson has served as trustee of Natchez college for the past eighteen years; trustee of Jackson college four years, and for the past five years has been one of the trustees of the National Training school, Washington, D.C. When it comes to racial matters, you can always count on Dr. Johnson. He has been always found in the front rank of anything that meant the development of his race. He is now looking forward and planning to do great things in the convention and in the state. There is an indebtedness on Natchez college which he hopes to pay off during this year and will present plans at the convention this year. "We have it in our power to do great work," said Dr. Johnson in discussing the plans for the coming session of the state convention, "and to accomplish anything we must not sit down and complain, but use that time, energy and strength in doing something that will count. Why depend on members of other races to do for us what we can do for ourselves? We are not the pauper race of the country. We are earning money and throw away enough in a 'good time' every year to build a dozen colleges. "Our future in this country depends more on what we do for ourselves than on what others may do for us. If we class ourselves as the baby race in civilization we may expect to be treated as babies. We have passed the period of babyhood, because we have passed the fifth anniversary of our freedom, and now comes the time when we must do a little more work and less talk. "We have been building churches since our emancipation and we have looked to the white people largely to educate our children. The people of the north have opened schools and sent white men and women to teach them, and they are doing this today. Here and there you will find a school supported by the white people of the north with some of our men and women in charge, but these cases are rare yet. It is up to us to make places for our own children. The Baptist state convention of Mississippi stands for the highest possible manhood- and womanhood for our people." ALUMNI FORM CHAPTER. Wayland Seminary and Richmond Institute Graduates Get Together. At the call of the Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes of New York a number of the graduates of the old Wayland seminary and the Richmond - (Va.) institute, which now form the Virginia Union university, Richmond, met in the Messiah Baptist church in Bridgeport, Conn., the latter part of June and organized a northern chapter of the alumni association of the Virginia Union university. Over twenty-one responded to the call. The election of officers resulted as follow: Dr. W. P. Hayes, president; N. B. Dotison, secretary; Dr. W. M. Moss, treasurer, and Rev. I. W. Reed, corresponding secretary. The next meeting of the chapter will be held in Philadelphia during the meeting of the national Baptist convention, which will be held from Sept. 9 to 14, inclusive. Every graduate of these schools residing in the north is urged to attend this meeting. PRAISE FOR DR. H. B. MARBLE. Work of a Zealous Female Member, National Medical Association. National Medical Association. The wonderful success of the pharmaceutical section of the National Medical association is largely due to the enthusiasm and unflagging interest of Dr. H. B. Marble, who for several years has been secretary of this section. Dr. Marble is a graduate of Meharry Pharmaceutical college of the class of 1906. She is a registered pharmacist by examination in several southern states. For a number of years she held the position of hospital pharmacist at the Tuskegee (Ala.) Institute. It was therefore with a great deal of regret 1 that the authorities of the Tuskegee institution parted with her efficient services. While Dr. Marble has always worked for the advancement of the pharmaceutical section of the National Medical association, as well as the association as a whole, her work has always been performed with becoming modesty, and she always sought the advancement of the association rather than of herself. The names of many rising young women have been more heralded than Dr. Maribelle, yet there are perhaps few who are more deserving of worthy mention. At the present time she is at work on a very interesting program for her section of the National Medical association, and if her plans mature the session to be held in Raleigh, N. C., beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 25, will be one of the greatest in the history of the organization. JOHN DANIELS AS AUTHOR. Boston Man Tells of Our Early Achievements "In Freedom's Birthplace." "In Freedom's Birthplace" is the title of an interesting book by John Daniels of Boston. The author says, among other things, that in no part of the United States is the local history of the Negro race more interesting and instructive than in Massachusetts and particularly in the city of Boston and its immediate environs. The colony of Massachusetts bay was one of the first in America to practice Negro slavery in 1638. Massachusetts was also the first to abolish slavery in the decade between 1780 and 1790. In Boston a Negro was the first martyr in the cause of American independence. Despite Washington's order against it, free Negroes were enrolled and served in the continental army at Cambridge, and excellent services were rendered in the Revolutionary war by a Negro regiment from Rhode Island and a Negro company from Massachusetts. It was a Negro soldier who shot Piticarn at Bunker Hill, and he and some of his colored comrades are conspicuous in Trumbull's painting of that battle. With these antecedents it was natural that the abolition movement should have its origin in Boston. At that time, it must be confessed, the Negro was looked upon there and throughout New England with a certain degree of disfavor. The attitude of Miss Ophelia in "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was typical, and it was against this coldness of the nominal opponents of actual slavery that the movement for enfranchisement had to contend as much as against positive proslavery resistance. In these circumstances Boston was the scene of some of the most celebrated fugitive slave cases, such as that of Latimer, which literally convulsed the whole commonwealth and made treendously toward the development of the anti-slavery sentiment which in time possessed the state. The history of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts regiment and the chivalrous commander, Robert Gould Shaw, forms a brilliant chapter in the story of the civil war, and the burial of Shaw by the side of his Negro comrades beneath the blood Jrenched sands of Wagner formed a fitting sequel to the burial of Attucks in the same grave with his white fellow victims of the Boston massacre. The follies and excesses of the reconstruction era at the south reacted upon the north and caused a widespread revulsion of feeling against the sympathetic enthusiasm which had been aroused before and during the war, and the Negro race generally throughout the country suffered undeserved discreit. Thereafter the Negro was forced back upon his own resources and was compelled to vindicate himself and to establish his own place in the nation. How he is doing this, particular in Boston, is described in interesting and instructive detail. THE AFRO AMERICA J LEDGER SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson III.—Third Quarter, For July 19, 1914. Text of the Lesson, Mark x, 46-52. Memory Verses, 51, 52—Golden Text, Isa. xxxv, 5, 6—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Causing the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the dumb to sing and the lame to walk were samples of what will be more fully when His kingdom comes (Isn. xxxv, 4-6). The blind and all other afflicted ones were physical illustrations of Israel's spiritual condition, and He was as ready to open their eyes as He was literally to open the eyes of a few individuals. But the great ones among them preferred their blindness because all the time they thought they saw clearly. Our Lord called them blind Pharisees, blind leaders of the blind (Matt. xxiii, 26; xv, 14), and when they asked Him, "Are we blind also?" He said unto them, "If we were blind ye should have no sin, but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth" (John ix, 40, 41). In their case, as in the case of multitudes today, the god of this world blinded their minds, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them (Ii Cor. iv, 4). Our lesson story is found in Matt. xx, 29-34, as well as in Mark, and is the record of a healing as he left the city of Jericho. He healed another man who was blind as he entered Jericho, and that man followed Him, glorifying God as He entered and passed through Jericho (Luke xvii, 35 to xix. 1). Matthew and Mark both say that the healing of our lesson took place as He departed from Jericho, and Matthew says that there were two blind men. Well, there are no discrepancies and nothing to reconcile. He healed a blind man as He entered Jericho and two more as he left the city, and one of the two was called Bartimeneus, and no doubt there were many more blind people healed at different times (Matt. xl, 15: xii, 22; John xl), and we cannot but rejoice with every poor fellow who received his sight, feel sorry for those who did not and pity the spiritually blind who fancied that they did see, because they were wise in their own estimation. When the kingdom comes we shall see the King in His beauty, and we shall then think that we never knew Him before. He will be so glorious (Isn. xxxiii. 17, 24; John III. 1, 2). Every eye shall see Him, either to adore Him and enjoy Him forever or else to see Him and hear Him say, "Depart from me; I never knew you." The cry of the man who was healed as He entered Jericho and that of the others healed as He left the city is so similar that some cannot think that Luke is telling of a separate incident (Matt. xx, 30; Mark x. 47; Luke xviii. 38). In each event Jesus stood and commanded the man or men to be brought unto Him or called them to Him. Mark says that those who called him said, "Be of good comfort; rise; He calleth thee." That which we have in eight words here is just four words in the Greek. I envy those who can read the Greek and Hebrew readily; there is such a fullness of meaning in those languages which it is difficult to express in English. There is something very remarkable here, and it is this: The word "Be of good comfort" (Greek "tharsof") are used by our Lord on five different occasions, all exceedingly interesting and helpful, four while He was on earth and once after He returned to heaven (Matt. 1x. 2. 22; xiv. 27; John xvl. 33; Acts xxjjl. 11). They make a beautiful, helpful Bible study on forgiveness, peace, victory and the purpose of God. The remarkable thing is that this word, used only elsewhere by our Lord, is used in our lesson by those who called the blind man. I wonder why they should use one of our Lord's special words. I do not understand it. I only note the fact. If it was the disciples who used the word they did it as His representatives, and we think of a later word of His, "As my Father hath sent Me, even so send I you" (John xx. 21). If some of the multitude used the word, then I am perplexed. Casting away his garment, he came to Jesus, and I expect that he did so very quickly. He knew his need and that there was a deliverer at hand, and he did not hesitate nor make any excuse. He was poor, empty, helpless, ready to receive. In the song of Mary it is written. "He bath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He bath' sent empty away" (Luke, i. 53). It is also written. "Blessed are ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled" (Luke vi. 21). The poor and the needy are those who obtain help speedily (Ps. xxii, 4). The rich and the self sufficient and self righteous are the ones whom it is impossible to help. "What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?" This is the question ever coming to us from Him in whom all fullness dwells, for has He not said, "If ye shall ask anything in My name I will do it;" "If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you?" (John xiv, 14; xv. 7.1) How brief and definite is the blind man's request "Lord, that I might receive my sight." He did not want five things, nor three, nor two—just one. He knew well what he wanted, and he asked for it. If we knew our need as well and were as definite in our asking, what might we not receive! The longer I live the more clear it seems to me that we have but one great need as believers, and that is to be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit.

Hope he will get his fingers burned. lt is a pity, however, that Hayti could not conduet its affairs much better than it does.

If Hayti could be reason- ably and properly governed what a great help it would be to the race. SOWING WIND Sometime agu when a woman was condemned to death for a murder committed in a Northern State, strenuous efforts were made to prevent the carrying out of the sentence. simply because of the fact that she wasa woman. The "Best Citizens’: of the South have no such scruples or quaims of conscience, more especially when it js a colored woman. Recently near Orangeburg, South Carolina, a young colored woman was strung up and her body riddled with bullets, it is alleged, because she had murdered a white child and ae usual in such cases, ‘confessed to the deed. Of course, the jury brought in the usual verdict that she came to her death from the “hands of persons unknown to the jury.” We would be willing to wager dollars to doughnuts that it would have taken the verist tyro of a Sherlock Holmes to have found every man- connected with the crime. What a travesty on justice is practiced in the Southland. Someday, however, the South will pay the price and it will be a dear one, for ‘‘while the mills of the gods grind slowly they do grind exceedingly fine.”’ % OUR YOUNG MEN Fifty. years ago, while the late Rev. Dr. Crammel! was a professor in Liberia College, he delivered an address before the Young Men of Monrovia, Africa, and although fifty. years have passed, the advice which: he then: gave, is as fresh ‘and forceful, .and timely, as though uttered for ‘the first time. What follows. .is but a very brief extract, but ‘it'should be thorough- “\y'readand. seriously considered by all young men. He said, in part: ‘‘and now, young men, what will you be, and what will you do? Do not misunderstand my question. Jt is not what office you will reach? What title you will bear? The question is~ What will you be really in your souls, internally in your heart of hearts, for the production of thorough, earnest, character? I have but little concern. I must confess, whether you get any great place in government,, or whether you will ever rise to any high office, Indeed, young men, | am ‘one of those heretics who doubt very much whether you yourselves ‘would reap much advantage there- by, or do mnch good to others. I do not agree, by any means, and I tell you it in all candor, with those who think that everything depends upon you. 1 acknowledge your usefulness, 1 see the need of young men, for if there were no young men. there could never be any old men. But let me tell you that the theory which is getting in vogue in our country, and in none other under the sun, namely, that young men are the life, the soul, the main-stay, the real strength of a country, is all balderdash, The real might of a country is centered. in character; and if the young men of a country have more character than any other class then, they are the pillars of the State. On no other condition. But you can not claim, merely because you are young men, that its main dependence is upon you. You may. have more learning than your fathers; but let me tell you that Latin, Greek, and science, though valuable, are not education. Learning is letters. Education is prudence, common sense, judg- ment, discretion, practicality. The fool may have the former; -a man, ‘nay many a man, who*never went to school may be educated. Young men, with your learning you need experience and wisdom, and for the-acquisition of these the period of early life is given you. The period of youth is the period of study, the peri.d of self-regnla- tion, the period for mental acquisi- tions, the period for careful preparation. Anxious though you may be, and anxious as you should be to: serve your country, stand back awhile, I advise you, until you get the thorough training, the experience, the knowledge of history and of men, and the broad common sense which are fitted for hard and long continued service; in this consists true education; and without jt all the letters and learning in the world will prove but as the senseless utterance of a parrot.’” THE A. M. I. CHURCH At the General Conference of 1892, the late Bishop Ward de- livered a most beautiful and im- pressive address delineating the grand services of the then senior Bishop, Bishop Payne, to the con- nection and to the race. Bishop Payne responaed, and though the effurt was off-handed, and spon- taneous, his speech upon that oceasion was a real gem, frought with much good, solid, advice to the church of his head and heart. We shall quote a few paragraphs from the same, for they clearly apply to many of the conditions confronting that church in the present times: Says the late Bishop Payne: ~ “T tell you, dear Brethren, the time is come when the African Methodist Episcopal Church can not afford to put incompetent men jnto the Secretaryships, and the stlil more important and high office of the Episcopate.’’ “Every intelligent and inquiring mi id in Christendom will be watch- jing our movements. Of all Negro organizations, none are so scrupu- lously watched and severely criti- cised as that of the A. ME. Chureh. Therefore she ought to be careful whom she make secre- taries, Editors and Bishops. Not for his eloquence, nor for his rhetorie shuuld any man be elected to shoulder such great responsibili- ties. The time has come, I tell you, beloved Brethren, the hour is at hand. when the spirit of section- alism. ought to be trampled under foot. Not because he is in the South, nor in the North, nor in the West, nor in the East; but beeatise he is. competent, possess- ea of natural endowments, acquir- ed ability, and he has given evi- dence of incorruptible Christian CHARACLER. We have many such Elders among us. Terrible ‘will be the ultimate consequences if we: ignore. them _ And more: over, the A. M. -E. Church is in need of officers and Secretaries in all of her departments, whose character, intellectual, moral, and spiritual, can command the respect and ‘confidence of all Christian denominations. Let “me tell’ you what was said- to me by one of the [Editors of one of the leading weekly journals of Christendom: THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER ‘We can not understand the A. M. E. Church; her General Conferences will convict aman today of mal. 'feasance in office, and tomorrow put him in the highest office within her gift.’ Similar criticisms were made by leading private gentlemen of different denominations, On ‘another occasion a leading educator ot our race met me on Lombard street, Philadelphia, and said, ‘By ithe election of such a man to the 'Bishaprie, your General Conference has disgrazed your church,” **As your senior, permit me to say, I am jealous of the dignity of the ministry of the A. M. E. Church. I desire to see it spot- less, so noble,. so holy, and so dis- eriminating as to wield ad influ- fence, so enlightening and gracious as to be a benediction to all the races; to all the coming genera- tions.” . “Permit me to warn you against the argument that we are great, heeause we are increasing in num- bers. It is a fallacy. Numbers are to be dreaded when they are ignorant; because an adept in polities can easily lead the ignorant multitude into disloyalty, treason and rebellion. To say the least, it is not strength; it is weakness, but weakness ia not greatness. As the strength of an army does not con- sist in its numbers, but in the ex- eejlent training and discipline; so, also, the church of the living God does not consist in its numbers, but in moral purity and righteous- ness.'” ‘The words of Bishop Payne carry their own comment. Jet the con- nectional papers who love the chureh, and the race, reproduce in their columns, the words of the most noted and godly Bishop the church has ever had. LATE LITERARY NEWS THE A. WE. REVIEW | We wish it were possible for us to repeat the three ringing edt- torials. published in the A. M. E. Review for the current quarter. ‘They are especially goed and ought to be read by every thoughtful Negro, We cannot too highly commend the leading editorial. on “The Negro Bishops and their Opportunity for Race Leadership.’’ In view of the many complaints coming through the church papers of the laxness in the work of many of those in high authority, it would be well for them, one and all to carefully pursue this particular article and then act accordingly. _ Every young man and woman coming out of school shculd be particularly interested in the one: ““How Much isa Man Worth from His Shoulders Down?" It is not a hard matter to classify men from he ‘‘shoulders down,”’ bat among Negroes it is somewhat of a job ta classify them from the ‘‘shoulders up’ for the very reasons given in the editorial. This particular editorial we will be glad to publish in the near future if space will permit. The third editorial: ‘‘What Will Rishup Walters do Now,’ is one of the most timely articles we have seen for a number of days, and expresses the thoughts on their minds of a number of Negroes who are doing some real thinking in these lays. Dr. Ransome is cer- tainly keeping. the Review un to a very high literary standard, $1.00 the year, or 10 cents the copy at the A. M. E. Publishing Huuse, Philadelphia, Pa. AWARDED FIRST PRIZE Miss Gertrude Robert who is residing at 203 W. 78th street, New York city with her grand parents, Mr. and Mrs, Archibald and Laura Carmack, the daughter of the Jate Daniel T. and Laura Roberts, is receiving many con- gratulations on the success she has made at school. She was awarded first prize in German and although there were many girls in the class of German descént and who speak German at home, she surpassed them all. She also was an honor student standing among the first ten of a class of sixty-six gradu- ates. There was only one other colored graduate, Miss Roberts intends to follow the footsteps of her sister Vivian, who is taking coirse in modern languages at the Hunter College of New: York. .

We hear a great amount of tall about our graduates and those tha’ have received a fair education ir our schools here in the city, thal they are not making good in orde1 to merit the education they have received. Now I wish to advance a few thoughts. First, their opportunity in the business world can only be attain- ed through cooperation of others of the race. Second, cwing to the prejudice of the opposite race only a few zan succeed in business. Third, if the right remedy is applied the results will ultimately tell, We hear and know that the Jews and of others of -the white race are seeking thickly populated colored districts and by shrewd- ness getting possession of the corner of every block and there establishing their business, we can check this rush of this class that simply aim to get our dollars and scents, and diszriminate against us in every other manner. | Now the remedy for all this is simply combination. Let every ‘colored church or as many combine ‘on a business prineipie, viz: form a steck company, each church de- positing @ certain amount until ‘$2,000 or more have been raised; then buy, or lease these corners, of course you can only get one ata time. As business grows get another and so on establish a first class business. Grocery and pro- visions, hardware and restaurant or whatever that pays; employ the graduates of our men and women or where ever educational ability is required, such as salemen, book- keepers and cashiers, cooks or waiters, Thereby we can help the race to make goud use of their education, in business and to prosperity. Why but a few of us jsueceed fs because we have not copttal enough to purchase a com- plete outfit of stock and if this ‘plan I have herewith spoken of is ‘pushed forward who can tell but we will in 25 years be running a business full speed and empleying men and women of our race and causing price of labor to increase. ‘This is not so much a proposition to help the churches but a propo- sition whereby the churches can help the members of our race.

Charles H. Murray, ig the efficient pastor. Certainly the good pastor and the congre- gation of this heautiful cburch deserve great credit for the erec- tiion of this handsome house of worship on the ground of the former church which was recently destroyed by fire. Out of the dust and ashes of the former church, Phoenix like the new one has risen from the ashes of the old and is a monument. to the enterprise of pastor and people. ‘The services opened with a Love Feast, which served to enthuse the people for the services. at a later hour. Rev. F, W. Wortham, of ‘Annapolis; Rev. D. G. Hill, presid- ing elder of the Raltimore Diszrict, of which the chureh is a part; and ‘Mrs. Mary £. Bond, assisted in the morning service. at which the pastor preached the prededication sermon from the S7th Psalm. | Joseph Henry Taytor, was the first child to be baptized in the new completed church. Dr. Wor- tham also made a forceful address at the morning hour. In the after- noon the dedication services were held, the presiding elder.and pastor receiving the keys of the church from the lands of the trustees, the choir, meanwhile rendering appro- priate selections. The presiding Elder preached the dedicatory sermon, emphasizing the importance of the chureh and its significant place in the community life. Drs. P, J, Jordon,and L. S. Flagg, were present and took part in the ser- vices. The’ presiding elder preached again at the evening service taking hig text from the 8th Chapter and 14th verse of Romans. The deors of the church were opened and several availed themselves vf the opportunity of becoming members of this progressive congregation. The collection during the day amounted to $323.27, which was excellent for this time of the year. Pastor Murray deserves great commendation for the excellent work he has done in connection with this particular chareh work. A very quiet, unostentatious man, he goes quietly about his work, and without fuss: or noise gets re- sults. His manner and work can well be emulated bv others with a great deal’ of success. FREBERICH BRIEFS , Frederick, Md., July 16.—The Woman’s Day services at Asbury M. E. Church. were a success in every way. Mrs. Ariana Walker was president.

Miss Ella Whiting, of Hagers town, was the guest of Miss Sara} Leakin Monday: By SPORTSMAN There was hardly a corporal’s guard at Oriole Park last Saturday to witness the performance of Jack Dunn's tribe—some 26 paid admissions we believe. Little wonder that Jack Dunn is selling all his best players, to make up for the deficiency. . Guess his park will go under the hammer next. The Laltimore Black Sox will play the Albrecht A, C. at Union League Park this Saturday and Sunday they are matched up against the Washington Giants, at Jack Dunn’s Back River Park for two games. The Giants are tuuted as champion of the District of Columbia. After the game Sunday the Sox will leave fora tour through Virginia, playing at Richmond, Newport "News and Norfolk. Those experting persons who called Willie Ritchie a second Joe Gans may have been suffering from hysteria, and then again they may have had a grudge against Joe |Gans—News Item. Or maybe they were kiddin’ Willie.—Ed. Johnson is willing to bet $5,000 that Georges Carpentier will whip “‘Gunboat Smith’’ io their fight in London this week. While we are not handing out any dope on the outcome of the fight we believe that Johnson’s judgement in plac- ing in his recent fight, warrants us in considering it a ‘‘tip.’’ In an interview with the noted American referee William N. Rocap Johnson authorities the referee to match him against Jess Willard for a six round bout in Philadelphia or any other place in the United States, this fall, merely to prove that Williard manager Tom Jones is’ unable to pick a champion. Williard . is a Los Angeles heavyweight and is viewed asa coming ‘White Hope.’” | Ina fast game last week between the waiters of the Old Bay Line S.S. and those of the Chesapeake S. 8. the, latter batted out an 8 to 5 victory. Capt. John Gross of the Chesapeake team wielded the hickory’ with telling effect. The game was played at Portsmouth. Va. Wm. Murray is manager of the Chesapeake S. S. nine. What was probably the best ex- hibition of baseball yet witnessed at. Union League Park this season took place last Saturday when the strong Trinity A.C. of this city defeated the Y. M. C. A. vf Wash- Jingtun in the first game of a dobule header and were in turn downed in the second fray by secre of 3tol. The first contest went ten innings, and ended with a4-3 score. The Washington lads however put on the comeback act and Jim ‘Thomas let the locals down with one hit, and struck out nine men. In the first game Billy Grant of the capital team struck out 13 men and allowed the Trinity nine only four hits. The infield of the Washington boys composed of Mckinney, short stop, Simms, first base, Awkward, second base; and Love, third base ture off five fast double plays in the two games, and nabbed several runners homeward bound. To-day the Baltimore boys are scheduled to journey to Washington for return games at Columbia Park Ist and M streets, ‘Ihe first zane is called for 2:30. Although fouled in the first round of his ‘scheduled 10 round bout with Battling Jim Johnson: at the Stadium A. C. New York, Wednesday night, Joe Jeanette the Hoboken Heavyweight crawled to his feet, and administered a severe beating to Jack Johnson’s namesake, in the remaining 9 rounds, and got the decision. The referee declared that Johnson's blow to the lower part of Jeanettes body. was unintentional, ie — With the changing of one of the tennis courts at Druid Hill Park from dirt to macadam and the promise of two new courts:for this summer, the prospect fora larger interest in this branch of athletics becomes brighter. No excuse now for failing to develop championship material because of lack of proper place to practice or crowded courts. ‘On to Wash- | agton.”? With the defeat of Gunboat Smith by Georges'Carpentier on a foul France can now claim for herself a title among the white heavies, and also champion of all heaviee. Incidentally another erowa hag gone across the water. Whose crown will go next? STOCKS.

MIDNIGHT IN WINDY CITY Pays Visit to His Father's Birth E place. Discusses Situation at Chicago, Ill.—I am glad to say to you that I am in good health these days, and hope you are the same. I did not get to write to you last week, so I will say a few lines to you this week, but will not try to cover everything, but make the letter short because this is hot weather and there are so many people who want to just stay away from the equator. I do not know where it is, but I heard my private secretary say something about it. I have been to Louisville, Ky., and spent a little time there and from that point I went to Frankfort, and you will remember I told you before this is the place where Charles Stewart's father lives, and I am told that he was born right there in that same city. I found that there was a lively time there in school matters. The State Superintendent of education was out with the president of the State Normal School for our people and had refused to sign the diplomas issued to our children. He did not stop at this point but wrote a letter to all the county superintendents saying that they were not to give employment to the class which graduated this year, without an examination, and if he did they should not be paid. Now this is doing spite work right. Of course, he tried to put President Russell out, by saying that he was not a good school man, but the Board of trustees did not agree with him, and this started the fight. Of course there are some of our people who want to get Russell out also, and while I do not agree with this, I am not going to say anything about it. I believe the people in Kentucky will be able to fight this out, and I will just stay out of it. They have a new paper there, and the editor is paying his respects to the president. I went to the capital hotel and there I had a little talk with B. D. Madison, and shook hands with Mrs. Weitzel, the owner of the hotel. She as usual was busy as could be, but always has time to shake hands with the friends of B. D. Madison, and wants them to have a meal in the hotel. I found my way from Frankfort, after shaking hand with Dr. E. E. Underwood, of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, who holds the position of Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal. Lexington was the next stop, and I stopped there but a few hours, taking in the whole city at a glance so to speak. You see this is in the Blue Grass section of Kentucky, and the people there are kept busy all the time looking after the grass. I have been hearing about this blue grass business ever since I have been in the world, and I like to go through this section of the country and look after it. While in Lexington, I had the pleasure of shaking hands with W. H. Ballard, the druggist. He has a fine drug store, and is giving employment to his three sons and in this way they are earning money for school. They are the operators of the soda fountain, and the people are drinking sodas and have ice cream these days. In Lexington, I called on Prof. W. H. Fouse, and his wife. He is now the supervisor of the schools of Lexington. I mean of course, the schools for our people. This is a new position and he is just the man to fill it. He is doing exceedingly well. He was busy with his sleeves rolled up doing some work as a carpenter. He is a man who knows how to work and is not afraid to work. His wife, Mrs. L. B. Fouse is an educated young woman herself, and is as active as can be in the church affairs. She was one of the delegates to the National Baptist Sunday School Congress held in Beaumont, Texas, and in this place she made a mark. She graduated under the late William J. Simmons, and this has something to do with her push and ability. Dr. Simmons during his life time was a bunch of inspiration, and if you touched him in the school room you just had to make it in life. In company with a number of young people I started for the Consolidated Educational Baptist Sunday School Convention, which it in Maysville, Ky., and was pred over by Miss Martha E. Adams, a wealthy teacher in the schools of Frankfort. Miss s owns more real estate, woman of her race in that the state, and with all this she is busy in the Sunday school and church. She is not a tango leader, but a Christian young woman, and makes a good president. During the session of the convention, there was not a single point of order raised, but all were in love and harmony, and all seemed to serve the Lord. I heard a scholarly address delivered by the president of the convention, and then I heard many able papers read, and heard Editor William H. Steward make an address. He is a speaking man when it comes to religious or educational work. He is an editor from the word go. But now, let me see what happened to me while there. I stopped at the home of Mrs. Bessie Taylor which was right across the street from the church, and they certainly did entertain this old man. There was the young druggist there, W. Robert Giles, who is, just out of school, and who is preparing to hold up Howard University by establishing a drug store in Maysville. He is a fine young man, and the son of Rev. W. t. L. Giles, of the A. M. E. Church. He stood ready to do anything in his power for me. I would mention, Miss Irene Bell, who is the sister of Mrs. Taylor, and then there was another sister, and another one and another one, and all were kind to the old man. Miss Alyne Stewart, of Cythiana, Ky., a teacher was also ready to do all in her power for e. and she did write my letters. You remember I told you about her before, also her brother, and Homer Nutter, and so many other young people. But this convention had it charms for me. From Maysville, I went to Cincinnati, on my way to this city. Reached here July 4, and remained until 7th, when I went to Champaign, Ill., to attend the Wood River Sunday School Convention. I have been going to a few conventions, you may see from all this. Now I am in Chicago, and will bring this letter to a close: Send all mail for me, care Dr. H. J. Dumas, Natchez, Miss. FEDERATION OF CLUBS. Empire State Body of Women Holds Big Meeting in Brooklyn. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. Brooklyn. The sixth annual meeting of the Empire State Federation of Women's clubs held at the Concord Baptist church in this city from Wednesday, July 1, to Friday, July 3, inclusive, was a fine success. The federation was the guest of the Dorcas Home Mission society and the allied clubs of Brooklyn, which gave the delegates and visitors a most hospitable entertainment. The attendance was large and the program had many brilliant features. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, president of the organization, proved herself to be a highly capable presiding officer. By her fairness and impartial ruling at critical points in debate she has endured herself to the members of the organization from all sections of the state. Under her administration the federation has grown from a weak, halting position into a strong and progressive body of women who are devoting their best energies to the various needs of the people in their respective communities. From the standpoint of work accomplished during the year the reports showed an increase in the number of institutions and individuals helped in a financial way and a large increase in the membership of the individual clubs. This fact was brought out very forcibly in the report of Mrs. M. C. Lawton, state organizer, who reported that she had organized fifteen new clubs during the year, with a total membership of 624. The work of the executive committee under Mrs. Charlotte A. Bell was also highly commended. The committee on resolutions, with Miss Minnie Brown as chairman, expressed its appreciation of the cordial way in which the federation had been treated by the entertaining club. The officials of the church, the Young Men's League of Concord, which tendered the reception to the delegates on the opening night of the convention, indorsed the work of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, condemned the use of the word Negress so commonly seen in the daily papers when referring to a female member of our race, and called upon the editors of papers published by the colored race to use their influence in having the practice abandoned by white persons. Mrs. Alice W. Seay, president of the Dorcas society, received the personal thanks of the officials of the organization for the effective work done by the Brooklyn clubs. The receipts were the largest in the history of the federation. By a unanimous vote the seventh annual meeting of the organization will be held in Elmira, N. Y., the first week in July, 1915. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, Mrs. M. C. Lawton and Mrs. Alice W. Seay were among the officials elected as delegates to the annual convention of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs which will be held at Wilberforce university, Ohio, beginning Tuesday, Aug. 4. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president, Buffalo, N. Y.; Mrs. Alice W. Seay, vice president, Brooklyn; Miss Elizabeth Mickens; secretary, Yonkers.

EUTAW ST. --- BAPTISTS GAIN NEW TERRITORY New England Convention Plans For Greater Work. President W. Bishop Johnson In Masterly Annual Address Says Great Missionary Organization Is In the Midst of Educative Processes-Predicts Great Future. The annual address of the Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, president of the New England Baptist missionary convention recently held in Bridgeport, Conn. was in part as follows: "For thirty-nine years the churches of New England and the north have sent their delegates to the annual meeting of this convention to report the progress of the denomination and to get new inspiration to do and dare for the Master. We come now to the fortieth session. The mighty achievements of the past, the hosts of the faithful warriors who crowd celestial seats and from their high and exalted stations look down upon those of us with whom they once held sweet converse and stood in the smoke of conflict wave their glorified hands across the stretches of thirty-nine years, now rolled into the deathless past, and beckon us to higher and nobler efforts, while this old world, torn and bleeding with sin, shall be healed of all its diseases and presented to God without spot or blemish, clothed in the ineffable splendens of New Jerusalem glory. "The year just closed has been largely construc- tive. Two years ago we enlarged our methods and widened our vision for future efforts along all lines. We are now in the midst of educative processes in order that the churches shall really see and understand the heavy responsibilities and the mighty frutage the future holds for them. "The New Egland missionary convention is no longer an annual gathering where the representatives of churches assemble to felicitate one another upon good health, fine appearance and general prosperity. It is a mighty assenblage of the churches of the north, the religious forces that must meet central and discipline, the great influx of Baptists from the south that sweep in upon northern Baptists Like a mighty army and add their weight to the responsibility of the race and denomination in America. "Are we still adding the polished shafts to the giver of an educated ministry and the facial growth in morals and religion to an intelligent pew? Are we all with united voice—churches, Sunday schools, R. Y. P. U.'s and other auxiliaries—contending for the faith once delivered to the saints and hurling into the teeth of our enemies the denial declaration, 'In the name of our God, we will set up our banners?' We come to report progress, not retrogression; advancement, not stagnation; conquest, not defeat, for we sing with the poet— "Hammer away, ye hostile bands; The hammer breaks, God's anvil stands. "The progress of our churches, the improvement in our ministry, the unmistakable signs of the times so far as they point to this convention, spell in large golden letters one word, 'Optimum.'" "Opportunity has no schedule time; you must be waiting at the station when it arrives. The hour, full of meaning and heavy with responsibility, has arrived for the New England missionary convention to awake. Arise or be forever fallen!" "Ten thousand blessings are held in the jeweled hand of the present and offered to the Negro Baptist family of the north. Shall we be ready at the station for the train with the priceless burden when it arrives? Let us see. Under the enlargement plan adopted by this convention in 1912 ten boards were created, the home mission, located in New Haven; the educational, at New York; the foreign mission, at Montclair, N. J.; the Sunday school, at Philadelphia; the B. Y. P. U., at Providence, R. I.; the church edifice, at Boston; the ministers' relief, at Brooklyn; the widows' relief, at Jersey City, N. J.; the publication, at Philadelphia, and the historical, at Washington. "A word about our constitutional rights: Eternal vigilance must be the watchword of the Negro in securing his constitutional rights. He will have to make large sacrifices of time, talent and money before he can wipe out discriminating laws and twentieth century barbarism, which are a blot upon the escutcheon of American institutions and which sustains and supports a system of slavery more wicked and destructive than ever existed among the nations of the earth. "The solution of our problems lies in the Negro's hands alone; the panacea for our racial ills must be applied not once, but often, until every evidence of disease has disappeared and every scar has been healed. The race must prepare itself for a long, vigorous and determined battle. We must transmit to our sons the fighting spirit, not with swords, but with brains and ballots, supplemented by work and worth. We congratulate the committee on the state of the country upon the campaign it has made against race hatred and prejudice and predict for it a long line of victories in the future." Dr. A. M. Brown Shows Qualities of Successful Leadership. The following poem is from the pen of Dr. A. M. Brown, president of the National Medical association. The poem shows the attitude of a leader who is deeply interested in the organization which he represents and one who knows the value of co-operation. The National Medical association meets in Raleigh, N. C., Tuesday, Aug. 25: MANY of us cry. "Waste of time!" MANY of us cry. "Waste of time!" Some knock, some jeer, some panto mime. EVERY medical congress wrought Broadens ideas, scope and thought. ENJOY contact, ye thoughtful men may give deeds that we want ken THE life sports cost us much more. In days and dollars than such lore. UNITY is our motor power, Which feeds the trolley of the hour. STRENGTH in numbers can't be told Of conservator-warriors bold. ATTEND the August meeting, boys. The nation heartens science's noise. THE lonesome trail at times seems slow. But progress marks the speed we go. TELL all your patients why and when We meet each other now and then. HAVE them see you are up to date. Keeping pace with the science late. ENTITLED will you be the more. For public eye always keeps score. NATIONAL meets of faithful members Fan to thine the dying embers. MEDICAL men teach what's needed. Masses profit when it's heeded. ASSOCIATION spreads the news. Come help us spread. Now don't refuse AN HONOR TO THE RACE. Steady Advance of Dr. Roscoe C. Brown of Richmond, Va. Richmond, Va.-The timely interest which many of the busiest professional men of our race take in movements for the advancement of the race along various lines of work is one of the most encouraging signs of progress among us. The above statement is true in letter and spirit of Dr. Roscoe C. Brown of this city. He was born in Washington thirty years ago. He is a graduate of the M Street High school) and the dental department of Howard university in his native city. Dr. Brown holds a certificate from the medical examining-boards of the District of Columbia and the state of Virginia. He received the degree of doctor of dental surgery upon his graduation from the latter school and has been practicing his profession in this A. B. BOSCOE C. BROWN, D. D. S. city since 1907. He is a former visiting dentist to the St. Francis de Sales institute at Rockefeller, Va. He is identified in an active capacity with many public interests in this city. Besides his profession, he is a notary public, secretary of the George Mason School Improvement league and a valued member of the faculty of the Richmond hospital training school. Dr. Brown has served as section secretary and chairman and state vice president of the National Medical association, of which he is a member. The other organizations with which he is a member are the Robert T. Freeman Dental association of the District of Columbia, Old Dominion State Dental association, Tri-State Dental association of Washington, Maryland and Virginia and the Richmond Medical society and associate editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association. Good Work of Dr. George E. Haynes. As a lecturer on social conditions among Afro-Americans. Dr. George Edmund Haynes of Fisk university is doing great good. Dr. Haynes delivered an illustrated lecture at the Central Baptist church in St. Louis the latter part of June before an immense audience under the auspices of the St. Louis Lyceum bureau. He is professor of social science at Fisk university in Nashville, Tenn. Hampton, Va., July 18.-Dr. John H. Reed, principal of the Caroline Donavan Institute, Liberia Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian consul general to the United States, and Hon. John Morris, secretary of the Treasury for Liberia, visited Hampton Institute this week, where they had conferences with Principal H. B. Frissel, regarding educational work. The visitors inspected the school, Dr. Reed evincing especial interest in the work being done here. It is probable that the Caroline Donavan Institute will be run along lines similar to Tuskegee and Hampton. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER MEETING NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE Advance In Methods of Religious Work Noted. Plan and Scope of the Institutional African Methodist Episcopal Church In Course of Erection at Wilmington, N. C.-Hundreds Added to St. Stephen's Church In Short Time. By GEORGE F. KING. Wilmington, N. C.-Among the leading ministers of the Afro-American people in this city is the Rev. Dr. A. J. Wilson of the African Methodist Episcopal church. What has made Dr. Wilson a factor in the development of the race wherever he has pastored is his splendid way of exhibiting his fitness for the great work that he is accomplishing. He built a brick church in Charlotte, N. C., which gave his church large influence in that community. He also built the beautiful St. Paul church in Raleigh and distinguished himself by reaching all ```markdown ``` BEV. DE. A. J. WILSON. classes of our people in the latter city and made another unprecedented record in this state by raising $4,000 in one rally. The colored people in Wilmington have not the advantages that the race has in many other cities of the south for young men and women through Young Men's Christian association and Young Women's Christian association work, so that in Wilmington will be found quite a sociological problem which requires a man of the caliber of Dr. Wilson to assist in solving. He has been pastor of St. Stephen's A. M. E. church, this city, for one year and six months, and during that time he has made quite an exhaustive study of the peculiar conditions of our people. His influence is very effective, and he has made a record by adding 450 members to this church during this short period. Not satisfied with having the leading church in the A. M. E. conference, with a membership of 1,600. Dr. Wilson is now engaged in erecting a handsome brick annex to the St. Stephen church at a cost of $15,000. This will be the first movement for an institutional church in this section of the state. The new edifice is to be four stories high and is being erected to meet the pressing need for more room for the large Sunday school and other organizations of the church. In the basement there will be a swimming pool, rest rooms for old people and a doctor's office. It is expected that later a physician will be stationed at the church to minister to the physical fills of the church members and others who may need such services. There will also be public baths in the new edifice. On the second floor will be the pastor's study and several class rooms. On the third floor there will be class rooms for the Sunday school and a public library. The library feature will also be a very essential convenience for this community since the colored people are denied the use of books by the city library. The rooms are so arranged that they can readily be thrown together, making a large auditorium seating 800 people. There will be in all eighteen class rooms for the Sunday school, so that each class can have a separate room, thus insuring more thorough teaching than is possible by having the whole school in the one large auditorium. Domestic science will be taught and other features for the development of our young people in this city will be added. Dr. Wilson besides being an able preacher is a man with a master mind, which reaches out for the masses and develops thousands of them spiritually, mentally, morally and physically. Since this class of uplift work has not been instituted here, this phase of church work will become a potent element in the character building of our people. Dr. Wilson in his unassuming manner has become a factor in educational circles in this state. The educational congress of the conferences of the A. M. E. Church of this state is an idea of his.

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 Take it till you gain a few pounds, and you will live to see 1915 and many more years.
