THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER --- VOL. XXIII. NO.11 LIBERIA DECLARES HER NEUTRALITY LIBERIA DECLARES HER NEUTRALITY West African Republic Issuer Proclamation to the Powers Defining Her Position as to Warring Nations Some weeks ago Liberia was menaced by one of the warring European nations. Appeals were made to the United States government to forstall any action that would threaten Liberian independence. In view of this it may be interesting to note the little West African republic issued a proclamation pledging strict neutrality. The text of the proclamation follows: "Whereas, the government of the republic of Liberia has been informed that a state of war exists in Europe in which the following powers are belligerents: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Russia and Servia; and "Whereas, the duty, and interests of the republic of Liberia require that it shall in all sincerity and good faith, adopt and maintain a neutral and impartial conduct toward the belligerent Powers. "Now, therefore, I, Daniel Edward Howard, president of the republic of Liberia, have seen fit to declare and by these presents do declare the strict neutrality of the republic of Liberia toward the atoresaid Powers, respectively, and I do hereby exhort an warn all citizens of the republic of Liberia to carefully avoid all acts and proceedings, whatever, which may in any manner violate the neutrality above declared. "And I do further make known that any citizen or resident whatsoever within the jurisdiction of the republic of Liberia shall render himself liable to punishment or forfeiture under the law of nations by 1. "Committing, aiding or abetting hostilities against any of the said Powers, or by carrying to any of them, articles which are deemed contraband by the laws of nations; 2. "Engaging, or by aiding, or abetting in the engagement of men or board the armed craft of any such powers in Liberian waters; 3. "Enlisting or entering upon any such service, whatsoever, upon the armed craft of any such belligerent Powers, while in Liberia waters; 4. "Retaining, or assisting in retaining any person, or in contributing means for procuring assistance to any such belligerent Powers; "Or by committing any act whatsoever, which under the laws of nations would be deemed a violation of the neutrality herein proclaimed "And I do further declare and order, in keeping with the laws of nations, that no person within the territory and jurisdiction of the republic of Liberia shall take any part directly or indirectly in said war, but shall remain in peace with each of the subjects or citizens of said belligerent states and shall observe a strict neutrality toward each and several of the subjects or citizens of said states and shall accord no privileges whatsoever to the one of such belligerents within the republic of Liberia, which in like manner, may not be accorded to the other." PROMINENT TABORITE IS PAID LAST TIBUTE Dallas, Tex., Nov. 5.—Dr. F. L. Etter, grand medical examiner of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, died here a few days ago. He lived in Paris.

T Sockum, an ice and coal dealer at 219 Kearney avenue, is a married man and sometimes has an animated discussion with his wife concerning their affairs. He had a warm discussion a few evenings ago with Mrs. Sockum and suddenly left her, ran up stairs, seized his gun, fired a shot into the ceiling and fell to the floor as if dead. Thinking he was shot, Mrs. Sockum screamed out that her husband had shot and killed himself. When neighbors arrived Mr. Sockum was descending the staircase and asking what caused the excitement. BISHOP COPPIN DENIES A WILD RUMOR Bishop Coppin put a quietus Monday to the rumors that he had asked Rev. L. C. Curtis, former pastor of Trinity A. M. E. Church, to again become a member of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference. His denial followed a query at the Baltimore A. M. E. Ministers' Meeting regarding the report that he had promised Rev. Curtis a good appointment should he return. "Not only have I written no such communication," he replied, "but I have sent him no letter. I received his letter of resignation, but made no reply to it, leaving it for the Conference to take action." Rev. Curtis is now pastor of the Independent A. M. E. Church. PROMINENT WOMEN ORGANIZE CLUB TO STUDY EARLY LEADERS The Du Bois Circle, a literary organization of women, has planned to study the lives of prominent Negroes of Maryland, of the era before the Civil War.

INVESTMENT COMPANY OPENS NEW BUILDING Savannah, Ga., Nov. 5.—The handsome bank building of the Wage Earners' Loan and Investment Company, at Alice and West Broad streets, was opened to the public Monday. A steady stream of visitors inspected the building and its modern equipment. The Wage Earners' Loan Investment Company was organized in 1900 and its first president was the late Albert Jackson. The new building is three stories in height and was erected by the R. E. Pharrow Construction Co., of Atlanta. The ground floor is given over to the bank. It cost $40,000. It is centrally located. The bank has a paid up capital of $50,000 and resources of $250,000. L. E. Williams is president of the institution. WELL KNOWN YOUNG BALTI- MOREAN TAKES A WIFE Wilmington, Del., Nov. 4.—D. J.

REPUBLICANS MAKE GAINS Democratic Majority in Congress Reduced by More Than 100. Black Democrats Balk Mudd Is Elected While the Democrats did not lose their control of both houses of Congress in Tuesday's election, the result is viewed with alarm by many who are desirous of seeing that party successful in 1916. Their majority of nearly 150 in the lower house of Congress has been reduced to less than 30. Illinois, New York, Ohio and even New Jersey, where President Wilson lives, increased their Republican representation in Congress. Bies Penrose, against whose reelection to the United States Senate a big fight was waged, received a record-breaking majority. In that state Amos D. Pinchot, the Progressive candidate ran second while Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, who had the backing of President Wilson came in third. The result in New York was particularly disconcerting to the Democrats, Charles S. Whitman easily defeating Governor Glenn and James S. Wadsworth defeating Ambassador Gerard, Democratic candidate for United States Senate, by a large majority. Owing to economic conditions caused by the tariff and the European war many who may have supported the Progressives voiced their opposition against the Democrats by voting with the Republicans. California gave a big Progressive majority for Governor Hiram Johnson and the party broke the "Solid South" by electing a Congressman in Louisiana. Down in Tennessee leading Negroes, backed by the Nashville Globe, aided in bringing about the election of Thomas Eya, a Democrat, to the governorship. It was charged that Governor Ben Hooper, a republican, had refused to give the Negro political preferment. James C. Napier and others were active in his behalf, however. George A. Woodby, colored, received a flattering vote for State treasurer on the Socialist ticket in California. Major Franklin A. Denison was defeated for County Commissioner in Cook County, Illinois, Democrats being elected. Harry W. Bass will no longer represent the Seventh Ward of Philadelphia, in the Pennsylvania legislature, Charles Siegel, boss of the ward, having sometime ago, gotten behind a white man for the nomination. NEGRO DEMOCRATS INACTIVE The Democrats did not recieve the flattering colored vote that they did two years ago. The failure of the Wilson administration to name prominent colored Democrats for office, segregation and reduction of colored government employees in Washington made thousands who may have gone over to the Democrats vote with the Republicans. The United Colored Democracy of New York loyalty supported the Democratic State ticket, however. The National Negro Democratic League did not maintain headquarters, as in 1912. Though the Republicans only gained one Congressman in Maryland, party leaders are sanguine that a formidable fight can be made against the Democrats in the election for Mayor and other city officials next spring and in the gubernatorial election next fall. Councilman C. H. Heintzeman is the only Republican who has announced his candidacy for the Mayoralty and no Republican has as yet been brought forward for the governorship. Governor Goldsborough, it may be stated with reasonable certainty, will not be a candidate to succeed himself. The close shave that Robert F. Duer gave Jesse D. Price, the Democratic congressional candidate on the Eastern Shore is especially pleasing to the friends of former Senator W. P. Jackson. It means that the Republicans of the First District will be in better shape next fall. The fine run that was made by Col. E. C. Carrington for the United States Senate makes him a factor to be reckoned with. He predicts a Republican victory in 1916. He led the fight for Roosevelt in 1912, and is still regarded as an ardent champion of the former President. NEGRO ATHLETIC CLUB BUYS A BALE OF COTTON Savannah, Ga., Nov. 5.—The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club is the first race organization here to join the buy-a-bale of cotton movement. The club purchased two bales. A number of colored men have already purchased bales at the prevailing price FORM ASSOCIATION TO PROMOTE HOG INDUSTRY Kintson, N. C., Nov. 5—Messrs. C. D. Sauls, A. E. Best and Harvey Fox are promoters of the Greene County Pig Club, organized in accordance with the plan recently outlined by Dr. Booker T. Washington. Already the colored people of this county are aroused and have caught hold of the idea; determined to raise at least one extra hog this year and thereby do what can to relieve the stress of the present financial condition. The Greene County organization is to have a branch in each of the nine townships and workers in each branch will make an earnest, vigorous campaign in interest of the movement. It is predicted that more than one thousand colored families will raise an extra pig this Fall and a conservative estimate places the combined increase in wealth of those families at more than $10,000. RICHEST COLORED GIRL IN WORLD NOW A STUDENT AT TUSKEGEE 4 Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Nov. . The Oklahoma colored girl, who is considered the richest colored girl in the world, is now a student at the Tuskegee Institute. She is making marked progress in her studies. Washington, D. C., Nov. 4. Mrs. Ella Russell Slaughter, wife of Henry P. Shlaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows Journal, died unexpectedly at her residence, 2236 13th street, Monday morning after an illness of five days. Although she had not been in the best of health for some little time it was not until a week before her death that she became housebound and was placed under the care of a physician. Her ailment was diagnosed as bronchial asthma tended with a hard cold and weak heart, death resulting with an acute attack of myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscles. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Thomas J. Brown at St. Luke P. E. Church, Thursday. Interment was in the burying lot of her family homestead, Jonesboro, Tenn., Thursday afternoon. She was a member of Household of Ruth No. 478, G. U. O. of O. F., at Jonesboro, Tenn. M. E. MINISTERS SEE BISHOPS Committee From the Nashville Conference Visits Board of Bishops and Present Its Washington, November 4—A delegation of ministers appointed at the recent meeting held in Nashville, to consider the future status of the colored membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, presented to the Board of Bishops last Friday, the declaration of principles adopted at the Nashville convention. Rev.M.J.Naylor, of Baltimore, read the declaration, the text of which was published in last week's issue of the Afro-American Ledger. As the bishops heard the plea for autonomy for the colored contingent, request for race bishops, and the pledge to stand by Methodism, they evinced deep interest. A number of questions were asked and the delegation stayed forty minutes instead of twenty minutes as had been first planned. The suggestions made by the committee will be generally discussed within the denomination during the next eighteen months, and sentiment may crystallize in favor of some of the things asked for. Dr. Ernest Lyon, who was chairman of the delegation, in introducing Dr. Navlor to the bishops, said: "As a distinct and separate race element in the connection, we desire to state that we are neither blind nor insensible to the trend of public sentiment bearing upon these questions, which in the course of events are bound to engage the attention of the next general conference. We feel that we would be less than men and unworthy of the traditions of our fathers if we did not manifest a keen interest in their settlement, especially when such settlement involves the future peace and happiness of three hundred thousand faithful followers of Wesley and Asbury. "The meeting at Nashville, therefore, was an expression of this interest not merely in ourselves, a race, but in the race varieties represented in our world-wide Methodism." He then referred to the proposed amendment providing for race bishops and declared that the colored membership did not know what would be their status even if the bishops for races plan and organic union with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, prevailed. Rev. W. A. C Hughes also delivered a brief address. TURNER AND JACKSON ELECTED IN ILLINOIS Chicago, Nov. 5. - Sheadrick R.

The president told the delegation that he was keenly interested in all that made for the progress of the race.

TRUE DISCIPLE OF METHODISM How the Rev. Dr. A. G. Winn Won Success. LONG TIME IN EAST TEXAS. Man Who Was Left Fatherless When a Boy of Tender Years Becomes Thrifty Educator and Eloquent Preacher—His Labors In Pine Woods of Lone Star State. Terrell, Tex.-The African Methodist Episcopal denomination is fortunate in having as its representative in this town such an able and energetic man as the Rev. Dr. A G. Winn, pastor of St. James' A. M. E church. The career of the Rev. Mr. Winn was begun under very discouraging circumstances. in that, while quite young, his father dled, leaving young Winn to shift for himself and a widowed mother. The task was heavy for a boy of his age, but, with mainly courage and a fixed aim in view, he met the issues with the firmness of a man After advancing far enough in his studies to become a public schoolteacher he took the teacher's examination which he successfully passed and was licensed to teach in the county schools. In the capacity of teacher he made good in every school in which he taught and had the confidence of patrons and [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit] REV. A. G. WINN the county superintendent of schools in Waither county who said that Mr. Winn the best teachers among ber in charge of any jurisdiction without a superintendent This high complienced Mr. Winn to let up in the best results. He is a product of the Texas State Normal college where he is one of this former student's courses. He was satisfied that he had been clearly called of God to preach the gospel. Mr. Winn after teaching several years abandoned this profession and entered the ministry in under the administration of the old Bishop Salter. Eight years of his were spent in the Texas confederacy and his first appointment was in the pines of east Texas, where he attained most earnestly for the advance of the religious life of his people. To say the least, those were years of moral trial, of gaud hunger and poverty yet in all of this he stood as the mighty oak in the forest, unbuilding in his purpose to do his full duty. After suffering almost to the point of human endurance he was then assigned to Nava sota, Tex., a charge of about twenty members. The church was repaired and painted on the inside and seated with a hundred nice chairs and left in a flourishing condition. He was then assigned to Hearne, Tex. station, where he also spent three years to the satisfaction of the people. There he raised money, paid off some outstanding accounts, repaired the parsonage and put a picket fence around the church and parsonage, at a cost of about $50. In 1910 he was transferred by Bishop Tyree to the northeast Texas conference and stationed at the above named charge, where he is now winding up his fourth year in a most satisfactory manner to his people. Here Dr. Wim has striven hard in raising means to erect a new church edifice. He has raised something like $2,000 for that purpose and kept the current expense of the charge intact. As a pulpiter he ranks with the best. He is held in high esteem by both black and white, and his word stands good for whatever he wants. Few young men have made the mark this young man has made. He possesses sterling qualities and is a safe leader and a wise counselor. The Proposed Sojourner Truth House For the past two years the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, with headquarters at 110 West Fortieth street, New York, has been striving to raise funds with which to erect a home for delinquent girls. The estimated cost of the building, which is to be known as the So Sojourner Truth House, is $15,000. Up to and including the month of September, $1,000 of the amount has been raised. Our people are asked to contribute to the fund as liberally as the means will permit. LAUDS CIVIL WAR HEROES. Senator White Pays, Tribute to Negro Helpers of Contenderacy. Washington. - in the Congressional Record, second session of the Sixty- third congress, issued under date of Sept. 24, 1914, is found a discussion senate bill No. 302. This bill has for its purpose the creation in the war and navy departments respectively of a rot designated as "the civil war volunteer officers" retired list" and the placing thereon, with retired pay, of certain surviving officers who served in the army, navy or marine corps of the United States in the civil war, and other purposes. The motion to take up the bill was made by Senator Townsend of Michigan. After some discussion Senator White of Alabama was recognized by the chair and delivered the following speech favoring the adoption of the bill without any discrimination against the colored soldiers or sailors. Senator White said in part: "Mr. President, I have been somewhat diverted from the thought I was trying to give expression to, and that was that this bill, instead of being an honor roll, is a roll of discrimination, a rank discrimination in favor of commissioned officers who held the higher rank, who received the greater pay, who endured fewer of the hardships and encountered less of the perils as against noncommissioned officers and privates. I am speaking, sir, for the private Union soldiers. "I know what they were. I met them on the line. I faced them on the field. I saw a great deal more of them than I saw of the officers. It was their line of cold, deadly steel our side dreaded to meet. It was not the dash of the general's sword that made us besithe. We saw it gleam in the sunshine; we saw the stars as they glittered upon his collar. But they had no terrors for us. We knew when real danger approached it was when privates faced privates, one holding aloft the stars and stripes, the other waving over his head the stars and bars. "Yes. Mr. President, they are the men we fought; they are the men who died with us on the field; they are the men we honor; they are the men, while once our enemies, we Confederates really love. I had no quarrel with the private soldier. He and I were both placed there in response to the call from our sections. Our servants called both of us. His section called him; my section called me. We went there in response to duty's call. We went there not expecting honors or pay, and up to date we have got neither, as others have. We were not paid on our side. I never drew a dollar in my life for service, and really, Mr. President, I was far removed from the commissary. [Laughter.] If I had not been the colored man who accompanied us and served with us in the war and did our foraging we deftness would have starved. I never wished them. "They were good for heroes, and they forged for good fighters. How can I forget them now? Why they carried us, sir, for three long years to continue that struggle." They did that too when it was apparent to every one that remaining with us meant their continued slavery, whose their dissertation would have been rewarded with freedom, and yet they stayed with us and by their labor supplied one armies in the field. They went with us to the field and continued by our sides in battle. They carried the bodies of our dead heroes back to the homes damaged their tears with the tears of their mothers, their wives and their children at their graves, for they wept as sincerely and as truly as did the families over these matriarchs soldiers as they were bid to rest." NORTH AND SOUTH PAID National Association Conducts Naval Political Campaign on Race Question. The following news story is said out by the press committee of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People: May Childs Nerney, Secretary, in Faith Argenteuil, New York New York, Oct. 23, 1911-To define the probable attitude of the next congress on the Negro the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People sent out the following questions to all candidates for congress in the Republican Democratic and Progressive parties. First-Will you, if elected, vote against any measure amalgaging the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments? Second-Will you, if elected, vote against (a) segregation in the tenet service; (b) residential segregation in the District of Columbia; (c) segregation in jimcow cars in the District of Columbia. Third-Regardless of whether you advocate racial intermarriage, with you oppose the passage of a law making such marriage in the District of Columbia invalid, since the enactment by states of such laws has led to the degradation of Negro women and children. Fourth.-Do you under any circumstances stancey lynchings? states. Fifth—Do you favor the enforcement of clause 2 of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution? The candidates who replied expressed varying opinions, from the Pennsylvania Democrat who believes in an "educational test for suffrage" and is "opposed to linch law," to the Kentuckian who warns the association that the people of Kentucky have a right to ask such questions, but that the National association has not. A very few state that they believe in lynching under some circumstances, but the majority are emphatically opposed to it. Many would care against a law prohibiting intermarriage, stating that they would not vote to make any woman's children the legitimate. Comparatively few candidates believe in segregation in government service, but some favor residential segregation and the Jim Crow car. Except in the south there is a general belief in enforcing the amendments and in reducing representation in those states which have disfranchised the Negro. THE AFRO AMERICAN LEDGER W. A.

Monton this paper when writing Nerve—Lung—Tuberculosis LIFE & HEALTH—NO CONSUM TION The 1910 Census showed that the colored population was at the same ninth-million mark as in 1900.

NOV. 7, 1914 And still there goes up the cry: "Where is England's much vaunted navy." The Weather Man is to be congratulated on the magnificent weather he has been giving us to the past several weeks. The public ought to see to it that he gets a good Christmas gift. If the Democratic Party thinks it had a victory last Tuesday and can take any comfort out it, it is welcome to all the comfort it can get out of it. Evidently Russia was very much pleased with the introduction of Turkey into the, European feast. Unless all signs fail there will be some Turkey on the boards when Russia sets down to her Thanksgiving dinner. All things considered, the Republican ought to congratulate themselves on the showing they made in this State last Tuesday. Of course it was all owing to the return of a large number of Progressives to the old party. We are wondering, however, whether they have learned anything new, and will still cling to their old ways. The thing which made it possible for the colored people to go over to the Progressive party was the fact that the Republicans had, to all intents and purposes, read them out of the party and party councils. Unless conditions are changed much from the old time affairs, the future of the party will always be that of a minor party. The colored voter will no longer be led by the nose and it will be well for the Republicans to make a note of this right now. SOME GOOD MASONIC ADVICE Incidentally, the very able and charming address of Mr. R.B. McRary, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, of North Carolina, fell into our hands. The address is not only a magnificent and scholarly piece of literature, but it teems with good solid moral advice and suggestion, worthy of all our people. It means a great deal for the colored people of North Carolina that such a splendid type of Christian manhood, as is reflected in that able address, should be the official head of such a venerable and influential body as the Masonic fraternity of that state. The fol- lowing extract, from the above mentioned address, is not without direct meaning to Masons who live in other jurisdictions outside of the tar heels: state:Grand Master McRary among other things, says: "I have taken occasion in each of my former annual messages to warn these charged with the duty of administering our laws that we stand squarely and unequivocally upon the platform that no run-sellers, licensed, nor in the garb of a "Blind tiger," must be allowed to become a member of our lodges and that any member who is known to dispense the beverage of hell to others, or who so far loses his self-respect, or forges his O. B. gas to bring disgrace upon himself and the Fraternity by exhibiting himself as a common drunkard, should, after due admonition and warning have charges preferred against him, and be cited to appear and show why the lodge should not purge itself of his defiling presence and membership in vindication of its fidelity to the principles which we profess. If the 148 Worshipful Masters in this Jurisdiction will faithfully maintain what I have here announced as our position with reference to this too common evil, this declaration will not have to be made in the future." "The good offices of the Grand Master have been solicited occasionally to induce brethren to pay what were alleged to be just debts. This office is not a collecting agency however. I have advised moral suasion in the first instance, which for the purpose indicated, involves an appeal to the lodge and to our well established practice touching all such matters. Failing these I have unhesitatingly advised seeking such redress as the civil and criminal law of the land provides. Masonry stands for business integrity, as between man and man, particularly as between brother and brother. Some Masons seem to think that the fact that they are members of the fraternity gives them license to ignore ordinary courtesies and considerations that should obtain between gentlemen, whereas, the fact that they are so related by fraternal ties ought to emphasize in their minds their duty toward each other in this regard. "The status of Masonry amongst colored men in this state, as an important adjunct of the church and the schools in the great work of promoting moral and Christian culture scarcely needs any advertisement here. That we are promoting the spirit of union among our people in matters of common interest to us all would seem to be worthy of mention." We may well rejoice when such men as Grand Master McRary occupy official headship in all of our secret and fraternal bodies. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON IN THE OUTLOOK The Outlook for October 28th, presents an illustrated article by Dr. Booker T. Washington entitled, "A Remarkable Triple Alliance; How a Jew is Helping the Negro through the Y. M. C. A." After describing the conditions and incidents which influenced Mr. Julius Rosenwald to make his remarkable offer to give $25,000 for each $75,000 raised towards a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. Building for Negroes, Dr. Washington briefly outlines the progress of those campaigns in ten of our larger cities and presents short sketches or the lives of the colored people who contributed $1,000 or more to the movement. His conclusions and deductions regarding the influence of Mr. Rosenwald's generosity upon the future of the Nergo race, contain some of the most inspiring expressions of this brilliant career. After showing how this movement has enlarged our viewpoint of the power and influence of religion, he says, "Another direction in which, it seems to me, Mr. Rosenwald's gift and the Young Men's Christian Association have been a help to members of my race is in what they are doing to convince the white people of this country that in the long run schools are cheaper than policemen; that it is more Christian and more economical to prepare young men to live right than to punish them after they have committed a crime." The Outlook is published at 287 Fourth Ave., New York and is always willing to chronicle information regarding Negro progress and achievement. --- After a lingering illness, Anita Coates died on Tuesday morning at her home 1745 Druid Hill avenue.

I am taking this method to announce to my friends and the general public that I have severed all my connection with The Peoples Benefit and Fraternal Society. My relations with the Society have been pleasant and I trust mutually helpful. I am withdrawing from the Society simply because of the great increase in my private business at 1004-6 Penao. Ave. The increase in my private business necessitated my taking the store next door; I find that I must devote my entire time to my personal affairs.

McGowan, Supt. SUPERVISOR OF RURAL SCHOOLS DENTON FOLKS ARE HAPPY. Dedication of New Building For High and Industrial School Purposes in Thrifty Little Maryland Town Attended by State and County Officials. Work of a Hampton Graduate. By W. ANTHONY AERY. A proud day recently dawned for the colored people of Caroline county, Md. The day was fine, and a large number of parents and children, patrons, ministers and teachers met in the new building at Denton, Md., for the purpose of dedicating an up to date training school. A number of white friends were also present, among them the state and county superintendents, the supervisor who has charge of the girls' canning clubs of Maryland, the industrial supervisor of Baltimore county and others. Interesting and appropriate exercises for such an occasion were held. After the opening, which was in charge of Miss Lucetia T. Kennard, a graduate of Hampton in the class of 1892 and the supervisor of the industrial work in the rural schools of Caroline county, E. M. Noble, the county superintendent, introduced the state superintendent, Dr. M. Eates Stephens, who spoke appreciatively of what the colored people have been doing to improve their schools and their communi ties. Near the close of his address Dr. Stephens made the suggestion, on account of the fine service rendered by Miss Kennard to the colored children of the county, that the name of the new school building should be the Kennard High and Industrial Training school. A motion was made to that effect and was unanimously carried. Miss Kennard then made a graceful speech and said that this school ought to have a motto and that she hoped it might be the one that she had learned at Hampton-"Not to be ministered unto, but to minister." She said that she sincerely hoped that the school might stand for service, the new watchword in modern education. The patrons of Denton and Carolina county are to be congratulated upon this additional opportunity to carry on in a more advanced way the academe- ar industrial work. Miss Kennard says of her co-workers: "We are very proud of our teachers, because they have the race at heart. They feel that the boys and girls sent to them daily are not sent simply to get 'book learning,' as the patrons say, but to assist God in developing his image in each child and to awaken in them a desire to become useful men and women." That this devoted worker is truly energetic is shown by her work for 2,000 children. Miss Kennard herself teaches sewing and cooking. She has taught girls how to prepare good three-cent lunches, including "one hot dish, with rolls or crackers, and one made dessert or fruit," and thereby raise money to buy library books. She has encouraged them to make carpets and rugs out of wool, silk and cotton rugs. She has introduced for boys such interesting occupations as shoe repairing, basket making and knife work. Then, too, she has helped to organize patrons' associations, mothers' clubs and has brought together the rural teachers for the study and discussion of live school problems. Through Miss Kenard and her co-workers race relations in Maryland have been strengthened, and both races are taught to see and understand their common interests more fully than ever before. Baptists to Hold Protest Meeting. The New England Baptist missionary convention, of which the Rev. Dr. W Bishop Johnson is president, will hold a two days' mass meeting in Washington, beginning Feb. 23, 1915, under the auspices of the committee on state of country, through which the convention voices its sentiment on questions affecting the welfare of the race. Among the topics which are to be discussed are disfranchisement of colored citizens because of color, jimmy cars in the south, segregation, and the like The Rev. W. B. Reed of Newport, R. L. is chairman of the committee, and the Rev. G. W. Krygar of East Orange, N. J. is the secretary. Supreme Court Drops the Oliver Case. Because he failed to have the record in his case printer Carl Oliver, a native of Texas, is in a dilemma. On or about Oct. 14 the United States supreme court dismissed his appeal from a conviction for murder. The court held that on account of the printed record not being in evidence it removed the possibility of the court announcing its position on the "unwritten law". Carl Oliver shot a white man who was in company with his wife. His appeal to the supreme court eliminated the trial judge should have charged the jury that a Negro had the same right to defend the honor of his name THE BENEFIT PERFORMANCE This most superb Bill of Attractions will be headed by the much-sort-after and popular Young Artists THE JUVENILE TROUBADOURS Appearing as the Beau Ideal Serenaders, with Mirth, Melody and a Varied Assortment of Novelty Instruments MR.J.

Brilliant Young Arkansan Meets With Success in Texas. Fort Worth, Tex.-Until a few years ago dentistry was unknown among the members of the race in many parts of this section of the south. The coming of Dr. N. T. Wallis to Fort Worth was hailed with much delight by the public. He has raised the profession to a high standard and at the same time has made many friends among both races. He is one of the very best dentists in Fort Worth, regardless of race or color Nathaniel T. Wallis was born in Camden, Ark., and it was there he got his foundation for an education through the public schools of Camden, and when he had finished his course there he went to Fisk university to better prepare for his profession. He was an apt and brilliant student, standing high in his classes. He made ```markdown ``` a good record at Fish and after two years of hard study entered Meharry Medical college at Nashville, Tennessee. Like most young men of our race, Mr. Wattis had to work his way through school, as he was not able to pay cash for his expenses. He put backs of his student life industry, honesty, reliability and thrift, and with these he won his awards. He was able to earn his board and keep up his tuition. During the summer he worked in the Pullman service. During his student life he exhibited rare ability; hence it was in his senior year that he was appointed assistant demonstrator in dental surgery. In this position he was able to meet all of his expenses and at the same time get a better in sight into his profession. It was in March, 1907, that he received his diploma from Meharry and started out to meet the busy world. A location was the main thing.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson VI.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 8, 1914. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Gal. vi, 1-10—Memory Verses, 1, 2—Golden Text, Gal. vi, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The Golden Text is awfully true, even for redeemed people, that "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also rep." We have recently seen in our studies Judas Iscariot reaping something of the reward of iniquity. But we have also seen Jacob doing some bad sowing in the way of deceiving his father, and we have seen him suffering for over twenty years by reaping of the same kind through the deceit of his own sons. The reaping is generally more than we sow, as it is written in Hos. vil. 7, "They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind." Again, in Hos. x. 13, "Ye have plowed wickedness, we have reaped iniquity; we have eaten the fruit of lies, because thou didst trust in thy way." Again, in Prov. xxil. 8, we read, "He that soweth iniquity shall reap vain." But there is a sowing to the Spirit and a reaping to life everlasting (verse S). The two aspects are seen in Jer. xvii. 5, 7, "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm and whose heart departeth from the Lord." "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord and whose hope the Lord is." From beginning to end of the Bible story it is God or the devil—God's way or man's way. "The one is life; the other is death." According to the epistle in which we find our lesson, the age is evil. The devil, who is the god of this age, has a gospel of his own and enough religion to satisfy most people. But all mere good works of men leave all under the curse, for the law requires absolute perfection in every detail and is intended to turn us from ourselves to Christ. Nothing that man can do avails anything. Men must become new creatures in Christ (chapters 1, 4, 8, 9, 13, 14; iii. 10, 24; vi. 15). In the fullness of time God sent forth His Son to redeem them that were under the law, hopelessly trying to save themselves by doing the best they could, listening to the devil's gospel of good works and character and aiming to be like Christ without being born again (chapter Iv. 4.5). Not until we see Christ crucified for us, made a curse for us, bearing our sins in His own body and, receiving Him, see ourselves as crucified with Him, are we new creatures (chapter II, 20; III, 13; John 4, 12). Then we will glance, say, "God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, whereby the world is crucified unto me and I into the world" (vI, 14). Whatever form of sin may have been our speciality as listed in chapter v, 19:21, the sin that is greater than all others and greater than all put together, the sin that causes eternal loss is the rejection of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the only Saviour of sinners (John iii, 18). When we are made free from the curse and have become children of God by faith in Christ Jesus then it is our privilege to walk in the Spirit, be led of the Spirit, stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free and not do the things which the flesh that is still in us would have us do (chapter III, 13, 26; v, 1, 16, 17, 18, 25). Those who are in the flesh live unto themselves; self is their center; they mind earthly things (Phil, III, 10). The new creature in Christ lives no longer unto himself, but is able to say, "To me to live is Christ," "Not I, but Christ, who liveth in me" (II Cor. v, 15; Phil. l, 21; Galil. l, 20). When we see others overtaken in a fault, as all are apt to be at one time or another, it is not for us to condemn them, but meekly restore them, remembering that we might some day need similar kindness and restoration. Thus we would manifest the Spirit of Christ, who freely forgive and said: "Neither do I condemn then. Go and sin no more" (lesson verses 1, 2). When Noah became drunken it was more Christlike to cover up his shame, as Shem and Japhet did, than to tell it, as Ham did. We have no right or reason to think anything of ourselves or to think that we know anything as we should (verse 3; 1 Cor. vill, 2). A proper attitude is that of Rom. vil, 13. "I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing." There is a sense in which we must bear our own burden (verse 5). "Every one of us shall give account of himself to God" (Rom. xiv, 12). If we have been redeemed from the course of the law we are here to do good unto all as we have opportunity, having reference first to believers, the household of faith; never weary in well doing, knowing that the reaping time is sure and that our labor is never in vain in the Lord verses 9: 10; 1 Cor. xv, 58). We may not see nor do the reaping, for we may sow for another to reap, or we may reap from another's sowing. But both sower and reaper shall rejoice together and gather fruit unto life eternal (John iv. 26:28). Whoever may plant or water, God alone can give the increase, but what an honor to be laborers together with God (1 Cor. iii. 5-9). Another verse comes to mind on sowing and reaping. See II Cor. ix. 6, and lay it to heart. "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." M.
