THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO.14 THE STARLIGHT BURNED TO THE WATER'S EDGE Valiant Efforts To Save Excursion Steamer Prove Uuavailing. THE WORK OF INCENDARIES? The Steamer Was Valued at $4000 and Was Partly Covered by Insurance "I will have another boat for the excursion business next summer," said Captain George Brown, whose steamer, the Starlight, was totally destroyed by fire Monday night. The boat had been tied up at Brown's Grove since the close of the excursion season. The fire was of unknown origin, but some are inclined to think that it was of incendiary origin. Captain Brown estimates his loss at $40,000, partly covered by insurance. Captain Brown purchased the Starlight a few years ago and had added $20,000 worth of improvements. He was contemplating placing a new boiler therein and buying an additional boat for next season. The vessel carried nearly 1,000 passengers, was 151 feet long, 33 feet wide and seven feet in depth. It was finely fitted and had carried thousands of passengers between here and Brown's Grove. Captain Brown praised the farmers who tried to save his vessel and said that their efforts had confined the damage to the wharf to $1,000. Negotiations have begun for either the buving or securing of another steamer, and a local steamboat company has offered one of its boats, a banking concern has offered ample funds and a ship building concern has offered to have another boat built by next spring. Captain Brown in speaking of the disaster said:— About seven o'clock, after eating supper, I took a lattern and went down to the boat to see that everything was alright before retiring. I must have been down there about a half an hour; and upon returning to the house, told Clarence that he had better get on down to the boat. To be sure that he went straight to the boat, I looked out of my window and could see by the lattern he was carrying that he did not stop on the way. I took up the paper and began to read. I had not been reading more than an hour at most, when I heard some one shouting and a moment later Clarence burst into the room half naked sobbing "Captain, your ship is on fire" I rushed out of the house, and the sight that met my eyes was appaling. The whole boat was afame from stem to stern. Assisted by a number of the neighbors who were attracted by the bright light, we worked valiantly and did everything to save her, but it was no use; she was doomed. The lines holding her to the wharf were burned and she floated out into the stream, burned all the way to the water line and sank. By the almost superhuman efforts of my friends we were able to save a large portion of the wharf. And right here I want to say that had it not been for the assistance of the white friends who came from radios of a mile, the whole wharf might have been hazed to the ground. Some of them tearing off their shirts, and tying it over their faces, worked until their flesh was scorched. Clarence, who had escaped from the boat with PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. nothing but his underclothing after swimming ashore fought the fire in this condition for nearly two hours and only left the scene when the fire on the wharf had been brought under control. There is no doubt in my mind but that the fire was the result of incendias." When asked whether he would continue in the excursion business Mr. Brown, with characteristic crispness said that he would immediately start to look out for another boat, and if nothing happened, would be ready to start in at the beginning of next season. "Already," he said, "three boats have been offered mo, either of which is larger than the Starlight. The marine people have been exceedingly kind and have made liberal offers to help me." The Starlight was purchased in 1908 from the Nanticoke Steamboat Co., by Messrs. Brown and Langley at a cost of $10,000. It was then but 96 feet long. To meet the increasing demands, it was rebuilt in 1910, at a cost of $10,000, and made 126 feet long. In 1912 it was again rebuilt and 25 feet added to its length; making 151 feet over all. It was regraded by steamship men as one of the best craft for its size in the Chesapeake Bay. JUDGE STOCKBRIDGE COMPLIMENTS CIVIC LEAGUE Judge Henry Stockbridge, vice president of the Maryland State Branch of the American Red Cross Society has sent a letter to the Women's Cooperative Civic League commending its efforts in sending nightingales (a sort of men's blouse) to the wounded soldiers of Europe. The work was undertaken by a committee, of which Mrs. John Hurst is chairman. Judge Stockbridge's letter follows: 'The Maryland State Branch of the American Red Cross gratefully acknowledges the receipt of nightingales for the Red Cross work in Europe. Valuable as is this contribution toward relieving the suffering in other lands now ravaged by war it is rendered doubly so by the generous spirit which prompted your gift; and shows us in a most practical way the fact that the whole world is kin, and that the prompting of humanity is widespread and increasing.' PROMINENT COUPLE MARRIED Miss Violet F. Hill and Mr. George Sumner Whyte were the principals in a pretty wedding at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Wednesday evening. The church was packed with friends of the contracting parties, and a large crowd also gathered in the vicinity of the church. The bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, Rev. Dr. D. G. Hill, by whom she was given away at the altar. The opening prayer was by Rev. J. A. Briceo, following which Bishop John Hurst tied the knot. Rev. L. S. Flagg gave the benediction. Mr. and Mrs. Whyte left immediately on a wedding trip North. On their return they will reside at 663 George street. Both are graduates of the High School. The groom is employed at the Custom House. ORPHANAGES AND ORPHANAGES AND HOSPITAL REMEMBERED Provident Hospital, the Baptist Orphanage, the A. M. E. Church Home and the M. E. Home for the Aged were presented with enough ice cream by St. Andrew's Commandery Friday, to tickle the palates of all the inmates The Commandery gave a charity entertainment at the Richmond Market Armory Thursday night CHIEF WOOD IS STILL IN THE SADDLE CHIEF WOOD IS STILL IN THE SADDLE Leader of United Colored Democracy Reelected By Margin of One Vote "MARYLAND RYE" DID TRICK Chieftian Had Resigned "Under Fire" Following Startling Charges Against Him. New York, Nov. 26.—Robert N. Wood is still chief of the United Colored Democracy, winning over Cornellius A. Hughes, an erstwhile supporter, by one vote Monday night. Mr. Wood resigned a few days ago, following charges that he was a dictator, that his leadership had caused the alienation of prominent colored democrats and that the funds of the United Colored Democracy had been recklessly handled. It was also charged that the affairs at the clubhouse, 122 W. 136th street, have been mismanaged, and that "many prominent colored democrats have never darkened its doors." The charges follow, in part: "It is charged that there is general dissatisfaction prevalent in the United Colored Democracy. "That the autonomy of the districts is ignored and district leaders weakened by lack of method in the distribution of patronage. "That there is entirely too much of the "big I" and "little you" in the important affairs of the organization." "That leaders who hold exempt office and others who hope for appointment dare not differ with the present leader for fear that they will suffer the fate of Langston, Robinson and McNeil. "That the present leader seems to be hogging it when he insists on being State Leader, County Leader, Chairman of the Executive Committee, Chairman of the Finance Committee, Landlord and General Printer to the organization. "That his invigorance and temper have most effectively closed the door of hope for securing any recognition for us under his leadership in the Federal departments. "That he has failed to ever submit an accounting to the organization through its secretary of any money that has passed through his hand for the organization. "That its constant dragging of the organization into outside affairs for which, as a county political organization, we have no concern, have brought discredit to us, while the profit, if any, has been his. "That because of his personal disappointment in seeking high political preferment he has permitted himself as leader of the organization to become unnecessarily sever and insulting in his criticism of the President of the United States. "That he has arrogated to himself not only political power not conferred upon him by the organization, but has sought to be the arbiter of our social relations with our fellow men, and has made members feel the weight of his wrath who dared to resent his arbitership. "That the personal equation with him has reached a point where it seems to have become a mania, and he really believes himself insulted if members of your committee fail to uncover their heads in his august presence. "That he has sought to be more powerfull in our organization than Mr. Charles F. Murphy is in Tammany Hall, for Mr. Murphy holds but one chairmanship in the Democratic party—that of the finance committee." When the voting forces met Monday night to select a successor to Chief Wood, it was thought by the supporters of Mr. Hughes that the latter would win. Indeed, it looked so until, it is said, some of Mr. Wood's supporters sprung a bottle of "Maryland Rye." While the boys toasted with the Maryland stuff, the Wood forces got busy and when the votes were counted Hughes had just lost by one vote. Mr. Hughes has hitherto been a loyal lieutenant of Chief Wood and the disaffection of him and his friend is disconcerting. With the exception of a few crumbs from Governor Glynn, the United Colored Democracy has gotten the cold shoulder from President Wilson and Mayor John Purroy Mitchel. With the inauguration of Governor elect Whitman chances for political preferment will be still more remote. SHRINERS SETTLE CASE AMICABLY Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 25.—The case of the white and colored Shrimers has been amicably adjusted, the case has been dismissed and the plaintiffs will shoulder all the Court costs. This ends the matter as far as Georgia is concerned. There will be no further action in the case. All hands are satisfied and both sides will feel more kindly towards each other in the future. One thing can be said of this case, which is probably most peculiar, in that it has engendered no bad feeling on either side, even from the beginning, and now that it is ended, in the way it has both sides can go on and bear only the kindest feeling towards each other. Much praise is due not only the lawyers on both sides but to Judge Bell as well for the ultimate outcome of the case. ORDER OF GOOD HOPE INSTALLS GRAND OFFICERS The officers of the Grand Council of Good Hope were installed with impressive services at Good Hope Hall Thanksgiving afternoon. Representatives from a number of the county lodges were in attendance. A feature of the exercises was the presentation of a handsome silk umbrella and a suit case to William G. Price, who is just entering upon his twelfth successive year as grand master. The vice granddaughter, Mrs. Octavia Parker, made the presentation address. Deputy Grand Master W. R. Wheatley and Grand Secretary Alfred Nixon were also remembered with silk umbrellas, Miss Lucy Gross and Mrs. Annie Kane Scott making the respective presentation addresses. It was reported that the mortgage on the hall has been reduced to $1,000, that the various lodges have nearly $27,000 in bank and the order has over 3,000 members in the city and the counties. The newly-elected officers were elected two weeks ago. They are: William G. Price, grand master; William R Wheatley, deputy grand master; Alfred Nixon, grand secretary; George Pullman, grand treasurer; Frank Carter, chaplain, David Harcum, grand marshal; Lloyd Palmer, grand degree master; Mrs. Cora Roberts, grand right conductor; Mrs. Jennie Mason, grand left conductor; Mrs. Josphine Griffin, grand right supporter; Mrs. Mary Smith, grand left supporter; Caleb Smith, grand inner guard, and John R. Cooper, McDaniel, Md., grand outer guard. PRICE THREE CENTS HAMPTON GETS COAT OF WHITEWASH HAMPTON GETS COAT OF WHITEWASH Howard Shows Unexpected Form In Annual Thanksgiving Day Game. FOUR THOUSAND ROOTERS Fumbling and Spectacular Passes Feature the Contest.—How- Washington, Nov. 27. —In a game characterized by fumbling, hard playing and spectacular passing, the strong team from Hampton Institute, received a coat of white-wash at the hands of the Howard University eleven. The result of the game was a surprise to many of the spectators including those who rooted for Howard, placed their money on Howard and yet felt almost to a certainty that Howard would lose. At the beginning of the game the odds were 2 to 1 on Hampton with few Howard backers in sight. Howard's touchdown made in the first period of play proved to be sufficient to win the game for them. Following two long gains by Pinderhughes, the Howard half back, and an admirably executed triple pass, ending in a forward pass, the ball was landed on Hampton's five yard line, from where it was pushed over in three straight rushes, for a touchdown. Luck seemed to be with Howard for on every fumble they made, one of their men recovered the ball, while Hampton not only fumbled frequently but failed to recover their blunders. In the second half of the game Hampton missed two fine forward passes of about 40 yards each, which would have taken them with reaching distance of Howard's goal, but they failed to get their men through to catch them. Howard also missed an opportunity to enlarge their score in the last period of play. They were on Hampton's three-yard line, but there they were held for successive downs. In the second half Hampton had the ball on Howard's thirty-yard line, but lost in on a fumble, whereupon Howard immediately kicked out of danger. This was the only time Howard's goal was in danger. During the remainder of the game, play was principally in Hampton's territory. Bender missed several pretty kicks for Hampton by allowing them to bounce over his head, and was finally thrown back for losses. Pinderhughes and Stratton, the Howard half-backs, and Price, quarterback, were the stars for Howard, while Gayle, end, and Bender played best for Hampton. Messrs. Wilkinson; of Armstrong Technical High School and Robinson, of Oberlin were referees and right well did they perform their duties. Douglass of Harvard was linesman. The game was witnessed by probably 5,000 rooters, from Baltimore, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Lincoln, Hampton and New York. Final score: Howard 6 Hampton 0.

Second team defeated the boys of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in a fast game at the latter's Parish Hall last Friday night. With the blowing of the whistle the Washington boys gave such an exhibition of passing and team work that fairly took the St. Mary's boys off their feet. During the first half of the game the Y. M. C. A. scored almost at will. Their forward made basket after basket while the only score made by the St. Mary's team during this half was on foul. Half angered by the great work of their much lighter opponents, the St. Mary's team started the second half with rough and tumble, break-down-and-smash up tactics and succeeded by force of weight in scoring a number of goals. Following the advice of their coach the Y. M. C. A. boys simply held fast, and played safe. When they thought St. Mary's had scored enough they again took the upper hand of things and served the game up with a fussilade of goals that completely crushed the Baltimore boys. Score 35 27. Y. M. C. A. St. Mary's R. F. Miller, Capt. R. F. Butler L. F. Taylor L. F. Adams, Capt. C. Gainer C. Shipley R. G. Grimes R. G. Scott L. G. Jones L. G. Beaman Time of halves 20 minutes. Substitute: Hayes for Adams; Tinsley for Beamman; Taylor for Scott. Referee Mr. Jones, C. H. S.; Scorer Mr. Beckett. Times, Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Thomas. Score 35-27. The unsportsmanlike conduct of the Lincoln players in their recent game with Hampton and the St. Mary's boys in their game with the Y. M. C. A. make us think that neither of the teams are acquainted with the code of sportsmanship. Such things as disputing the umpires' decision resorting to rough and tumble plays, home rooters hissing the visiting team cannot help the game in the least but work measurable harm to both the game and the players. It is to be hoped that all partakers and supporters of athletics in any form will make themselves acquainted with the code of sportsmanship which we publish here with and make themselves amenable thereto. THE CODE OF SPORTSMANSHIP. 1. Sport for sport's sake. 2. Play the game within the rules. 3. Be courteous and friendly in your game. 4. A sportsman must have courage. 5. The referee and umpire shall decide the game. 6. Honor for the victors, but no derision for the loser. 17. The true sportsman is a good loser in his game. 8. The sportsman may have pride in his success, but no conceit. 9. Rooters, don't hiss. 10. Rooters, be courteus. We have Mr. Bernard Webb to thank for furnishing us with the above code. HOW BIDWELL CAME INTO HIS OWN (Continued from last week) When the whistle sounded to play again, Bidwell took his position at right half. The University contingent hurled ridicule and insult in his direction, to offset which, the rooters for Rayburn declared in thunderous tones that he was was all right. Bidwell tingled at the kindly encouragement and resolved to justify their faith. It happened that the University kick off dropped into his arms and he ran it back with a speed and such strength of shoulders as to amaze the opposing players. On the first down, left half ran with the ball and was smothered by a horde of Reds with no gain. Bidwell took the next and electrified the Blues by a wide circling run; and then like a catapult shot through the enemy's line of gain of ten yards. Frantic with delight the Blue followers, yelled their approval while a feeling of doubt and uneasiness swept the Reds. A center buck followed, with no gain, and once again Walter tucked the ball under his arm and splashing mud and opposing players in all directions zig-zaged through and was pulled down, but not until he had gained twelve yards for his side. The pace was now terrific. On the one side was encouragement born of the knowledge that here was one of their number who could gain; on the other was a spirit of determination not to be derected by opponents whom they despised and whom they had defeated many times. A fumble gave the ball to the Red and they again began a march down the field only to lose by another fumble. And so the game went on with the advantage to neither side and with the followers keyed to the highest pitch of excitement. To stop Bidwell's rushes the University captain detailed three men whose sole duty was to watch him and balk his progress. By his strategic move the University seemed to have solved the problem of Bidwell. Their three husky players, right end, tackle and half, watched the colored boy like a hawk and pounced on him with savage delight whenever he now esayed a run. In vain he tried again and again to break through or to circle the end, but always that three were there to defeat the purpose. They slammed him in the mud, they piled on top of him and tried their best the High School, and Beau Brum mels, who formerly composed of a number of the city's young society gentlemen. Owing to the inability of the said society gentlemen to get in shape for the mill, however, the boys from St. Mary's were substituted. The score 32-12 is a good indication of the unevenness of the two teams matched. While there was much individual brilliance among the St. Mary's boys as a team, they failed to shine. During the first period of play, the High School seemed to be a little slow getting together despite the fact that a number of fast plays were made. Meantime the Beau Brummels, et al. had managed thru the atriffness of Rice, a former Dunbar star, to make several baskets. At the close to cripple and hurt him. He responded in kind, for who wouldn't have done the same? Like a battering ram he drove into the mass and hurled the enemy right and left. His strength was prodigious. Anger sized him and he remembered their insults. He was a sure tackler, and when he nailed his man, such was his fierce energy, that sometimes the player failed to rise for a long time. But this could not last forever. The pace was telling. He was wearing himself out to no purpose. His three grim guardians together with the wet grounds prevented his gaining, and Bidwell was seized with a daring idea which he waited an opportunity to broach to the captain. That opportunity now came. But eight minutes more of play remained and the ball was on the forty-five yard line of the enemy. The game had stopped for an injured player to recover and Bidwell called the captain aside and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Strawn, why don't you try a place kick for goal sometimes?" "Get no kicker," answered he, "besides we can't get close enough "besides we can't get close enough "This is all right" said Bidwell quietly. "What! forty-five yards and the ball weighing a ton? Come off man." "Its a chance, I know. Back east I used to place kick a little; suppose you give a try." Strawn gazed at him in astonishment, measured the distance with his eye, and shook his head. "Not one chance in a million," he declared. "I would like a try at it, nevertheless" persisted Bidwell. The captain reflected. It was a forlorn hope, but nothing much was risked except his reputation for careful generalship. He looked for a moment into Bidwell's pleading face and resolved to hazard the die. When the teams lined up again a strange thing was seen. The crowd gasped in amazement. With one accord the occupants of both bleachers arose to their feet and stood silent doubting the evidence of their own eyes. A try for goal from the forty-five yard line with a wet, slippery ball? Impossible, yet it was true. One of the Rayburn players knelt behind the line and Bidwell, the unknown, took his place coolly behind him. He spoke a few words to the kneeling man, and then reaching down he scraped the mud from the toe of his right shoe. He then removed his right shin guard and cast it aside. Glancing about to make sure that all was right he paused. It was a dramatic moment. The great crowd was as silent as death. Every one with strained eagerness prepared to watch the flight of the ball. None hardly dared to hope that the try would be successful, but the very audacity of the attempt compelled admiration. Bidwell apparently was the coolest of the first period of the play the score stood 13-10 favoring the High School. The second half was a walk-over for the High School and that is all that can be said of it, for a succession of fast plays and swift pass-scored consecutive goals for them, which ran the score up to 38 before the referee's whistle ended the slaughter. Referees: Bernard Webb and Llewlyn Wilson. Timer: James Bantum. Time of halves 20 minutes. Mrs. Susie Grav and Mrs. Mary Thomas of Anne Arundel county, Md., were in the city last week the guees of Miss Sarah R. Brooks, of 522 W. Lanvale street. man on the field. When he was fully ready he gave the peculiar snap of the hands and the ball shot back to the recumbent player, who placed it quickly on the ground. Hidwell with a mighty kick sent the ball high in the air whence it flew straight as an arrow to its mark. Both elevens in crouching attitudes watched its course. In both grandstands an audible sigh arose as the intaking breath marked the anxiety of the spectators. The ball slid on in a beautiful arc and then fell squarely between the posts and striking the cross, beam with a crash, bounded into the air and over beyond, giving the Blues five points to the good. Silence for a moment and then bedlam broke loose. The students frantically hugged each other, danced and capered and in stentorian tones acclaimed Bidwell a hero. His team mates bore him aloft on their shoulders and conducted him, protesting, in front of both grandstands and acted generally as idiots, but with reason in their madness. The University contingent, stuplied and crestfallen, remained silent and gazed fascinated at the colored author of their undoing. One indignant adherent said: "It's a shame that Negroes are allowed to participate in the games of white people. They are not our equals anyway and ought to be kept to know their places. That darky's kick was only an accident anyway. Right now he ought to be hoeing cotton. I hate'm all." The rest of the game was a perfunctory performance. All of the life had been taken out of the enemy and the remaining few minutes of play was listless and without effect. The final whistle saw the score unchanged; and a saddened and spiritless crowd of Red sympathizers took the train that evening for home. On the other hand the Blues, triumphantly victorious, celebrated the event far into the night with Bidwell the central figure. Ward and Strawn, deliriously happy, pointed to the colored hero as vindication of their own sagacious judgement. Bidwell had come into his own.

Moton, president of the Negro Organization society and commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, said: "Our people are co-operating as never before in helping toward better schools, better health, better homes, better farms I wish to emphasize the need of better homes for colored people. Many successful Negroes, especially in the country districts, have neglected the most essential element in their development. Many of them have good farms and good horses, but live in miserable shacks. This condition must be changed if we are to get the highest benefits of this civilization. "I want to thank our white friends for the cordial support and backing which they have given this movement. The state board of education, through its efficient superintendent, Mr. R. C. Stearnes, and the state board of health, through Dr. Ennion G. Williams, Dr. Roy K. Flannagan and others, have given their cordial cooperation. Mrs. B. B. Munford said last year that she thought the best way for the white people to help the colored people in Virginia was for the white people to believe in colored people. The best way for the colored people to help the white people is for the colored people to believe in the other race. We are believing in each other. "One of the greatest achievements of the Negro Organization society is the spirit of co-operation which it has stimulated between black man and white man and which we can and must maintain. This we can do by faithful and efficient service wherever that service may be, whether in the kitchen, on the farm, in the shop, in the schoolroom or in the pulpit. "We can be assured that efficient and faithful service will be rewarded in the fullest measure. To my mind this is the surest way to the solution of the race problem and a wholesome and happy adjustment of the great human problem that faces the black man and the white man here in Virginia, as well as throughout our country and the world." RACIAL ANTIPATHY AND THE EUROPEAN CONFLICT Oswald Garrison Villard's Question and Dr. Jacques Loeb's Opinion. Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Evening Post, New York, and treasurer of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, asks this significant question, "Is racial antipathy a live issue or is it not?" Mr. Villard then quotes from Dr. Jacques Loeb, the famous scientist and professor in Columbia university, who, writing in the New Review on the European conflict, has this to say: "The mischief lies in the fact that the inhabitants of each country now seem to be convinced of their 'racial superiority' over the inhabitants of all other countries. The danger lying in the fetish, of racial antipathy and racial superiority is assuming threatening dimensions in this country. "It is a matter of no small concern that the labor unions refuse to work side by side with Asiatics or Negroes, giving as an excuse racial antipathy; whereas the principle of brotherhood would demand that they should work with them, influence them, educate them if necessary, and in this process learn to respect them." Mr. Villard says other causes have many champions, the cause of those who suffer from race prejudice but one—the national association which is pledged to an unqualified program of industrial, political and civil rights for all men, regardless of race or creed. "We have attacked the Negro problem first, because that is the most pressing in the United States," he said. "Like other societies, we are struggling hard to weather these times of financial depression. During the past month colored people have contributed generously of their slender means. This is an encouragement to their friends to endeavor to keep alive the one organization which is their fearless champion." Coal Company Started in Barclay, Ill. Several energetic men of the race in Barclay, Ill., have recently bought a coal mine and put it in operation. They have perfected an organization and had it incorporated under the laws of the state. Barclay is a thriving town about ten miles from Springfield. The company will have a large number of employees, and the plant will be fully worked with the most modern devices for handling the output. This is a sign of coal progress in a field which affords room for large possi- bilities. The Texas Commercial Film Company The Texas Commercial Film company of Houston. Tex., is endevouring to alist the financial cooperaion of the leading colored men of that community in a project to produce a three reel film deplicting the progress of the Negro race in that section of Texas.

Monroe Trotter. In the closing paragraph, however, the Independent makes the mistake of saying:*‘After all, —this is exclusively a Demo- eratic family quarrel. ‘The Presi~ dent is and has ever been 2 De mo- erat, and his father was a Demo- erat; Mr. Trotter is and has ever ‘been a Demoerat, and his: father, —was a Democrat, —So Republi- can Negroes are not concern- ed.——."” ‘We do not at all agree with the Independent along these lines. This matter concerns every Negro the eonntry over, whether they be Democrats or Republicans. It is a aoe ‘of manhood rights and not hether Negro Democrats _ are segregated in the department or not. As for- that matter there are at present very few,~if, any Negro Democrats in the departments, matters have not gone’ that far al present. Mr. Trotter | was not particularly concerned swith Demo- eratic appointments, “but with the ‘segregation .of.-those who:are now Gn office. 4t'was-tnis. for-which -he argued. He-was. not there in the Gnterests 6f:any appointment to be made. by the “President, but the fact that under President Wilson’s administration: Negroes in the several departments of the Unitec States-Government, -if, not. by, bi orders, by: tie'rtacit consent wer made the awictims ‘of * the ‘Souther Cabinet. members” orders. No Brother Davis it is not a fam fly quarrel at all but a Na tional quarrel io which we ar ‘all interested and which we al have gct to help to fight. “There is no injustive in the seperation. of ‘the races -ia’ the Federal departiients SO LONG AS IT DOES ‘NOT CARRY WITH IT UNEQUAL: “ACCOMMODATIONS OR UNEQUAL: OFFICIAL PRIV- ILEGES. It envolves no more hardship on one race than the other, THE WHITE PEOPLE DO NOT COMPLAIN OF THIS SEGRE- GATION; .. WHY. ‘DO... THE NEGROES?—The (Baltimore) Sun. ata “Tn the first place does segregation carry with it eqiual accommodations ‘or equal official privileges. If the SUN Man would. or could blacken ‘his’face and tiavel a few miles’ in the Southland on the ‘‘Jim.Crow”’ ears; he would soon fiod’out that segregation carries with it neither equal accommodation. or official privileges. . If allowed to continue in gavernmental offices it will soct degenerate to what the‘‘Jim Crow” cars of the South’have'dezenerated. “In: the second place the white people do not complain for the reason that they themselves make the distinctios, and in making the digtinetion they always make it in favor of themselves. Take’again for instance the ‘Jim Crow Cars.” The whites’ have good, clean, first class cars, what have the Negroes? The whites can go to the ticket office and be waited on. If a Negro seems to be in a hurry he is liable to be told to wait until the ticket agent is ready to wait on him, and often then he wili have to take the next train. Of course the white man can see no injustice in the fact ‘hat he takes the black man’s money for inferior accominodation, at the same price he charges the white man for firat class accommodation. ‘That the white man can travel first class, have e.ery convenience, eat as often as he wishes, in dining ears and at railroad.stations, but unless a colored. man carries his lunch with him, he will have the opportunity to test his staying abilities on an empty stomach for aa many hours ashe may be ona train. Of course segregation is a good thing from a southern white man’s standpoint, but it is very much like the boy and the frogs: It was a good thing for the boy to stone the :frogs, but it was a death to the frogs. And lastly, what right has the government of the United States ta make invidious distinctions among any of its citizens, anywav? According to the laws made and provided, -every. man is a citizen with alfathe rights and privileges of every other citizen, Nobody bat’ a Southern Bourbon would think otherwise. We sometimes wonder if men like the author of the Sun editorial have realized that the civil war is over yet’ THEN, AAC. P. ‘Chis Asseciation has.a rather long name. It is too long for continued repitition, so we will speak of it as “the Association." It is sincerely ta be regretted that its late annual meetings was not characterized with harmony and unity of action. The aim and purpose of the Association isa good one, and there ought not to be any division whatsoever. Division among us on the funda. mental subject of'*status' is almost criminsl, when we consider the united opposition on the other hand. To our mind, the fault is, we act first and then think after- wards. We need to reverse that order. We must first think, and then act. Instead of- having so many clouds and associations for the same common end we need one strong and well administered organization. There is not the least reason why the Association shoald not fill this real racial need. How? ‘The various questions which have engendered contro! have arisen be- cause the organization is not as efficient as should be the case. Matters with respect to the employ- ment of an attoroey, his eompen- sation, and many other details, can not. properly be determined by a mass meeting, There is no kind ‘of work. which requires such de- liberate and mature thought, such wise and prudent administration, as does the work of associations seek ing to educate, reform and correct moral, and legal abuses. Such things can-not. be accomplished in mass‘meetings. Every member of the Association-ean not tell just how things ought to be conducted, ° He may think so, but experience among the wisest and“best of men success- fully contradict such: a theory. There ought to be several thousand members of the Association in Bal timore. ‘Every adul person of the colored’ race “interested “in remoy ing the difficulties in the way of th advance of the race should be 1 member. : And no one can deny tha‘ auch individuals are able to pay a a ‘membership. fee one dollar 1 year. “very. one paying the on dollar should {have the. right an privilege of voting for the Boar. of Managers, who are to do the rea work of the Association. The rea | important thing 1s to eeleet a prop er and efficient board to manag thie affairs, And. this board, i turn, “must accomplish its wor! ‘through well selected committees |< 'This is just what we do not lik |to do-and it is thepplain reason wh we have not been more,successfu |in results and in attaching to suc | organizatinos the great body of th people. , |" ‘The ‘masses of the people are no | interested in the question whethe | the salary of the atiorney shall b $10 or $500. © They want: resulta They want to see something accom ? ArnKO-AMERICAN: LEDGER plished, . The most snécessful or- ganizations of the white race~ all around us tell the’story we are try- ing te emphasize. A board of twelve persoas eelected,on no other ground in the world, save capabil- ity and efficiency, with responsi- bility imposed, .is the only.practic- al agency whereby we may expect suceess, - Men and women, not only having the requisite intelligence, but who are willing to give liberally both of their means and time to their work, are the only ones who can hope or bring success... It is absolutely in vain to hope for success under the leadership of persons would not possess such qualifications. The question of the salary of an atturney is a very small question, although large enough to preepi- tate confusion and disorder. The main question, go it seems to us, is the one of securing the services of sueh competent, public spirited, honest, and large minded men and women, sufficiently. able to grapple with the detail of such an organi- sation, and by wise policies, and proper agencies, enlist the thousands of our people to contribute their dollar a year towards the work of race defense. This done, a wider vision of usefulness, and work, not only of attorney, but of other necessary aids, will find a place in the program of work of such an organization, We need ‘‘vision,’” large vision.

TROTTER AND THE PRESS The race press in editcrials at- tacking segregation, zommend W. Monroe Trotter for again bringing the matter to the attention of President Wilson and condemn the Jatter for contoning discrimination. ‘A number -of the edizorial ex- pressions follow: “Me. Wilson is our President. We may-epeak of him, practically, a3 ve choose at long range, but at short range we must learn to put the muzzle on. As to the subject of segregation, it ought to go It is such a glaring wrong that it cannot stay. Government by preju- dice will not endure.""—Indianapo- sis Freeman. MADE GRAVE MISTAKE “We think the President’ has mace a grave mis‘ake in trying to satisfy toe colored man in regard to segregation and at the same time trying to keep his peace with ‘the Southerners. The President has allowed hisaiministration to be bent by such men as John Skelton Williams, Secretary McAdoo and Postmaster General Burleson. At first the President caid that segre- gation did not exist, then he ‘whips back’ with the-statement that he had been informed by officials that segregation had been started to avoid friction’ between. the races and not with the intention of in- juring the Negroes.”’—-Indianapolis Ledger. “President Wilson came’ very near establishing a national pro- gram. of treatment to be given the Negro when he defended segregation, If that step is to-be taken it is a serious one. Mr, Wilson would be in better position if he were representing national rather than sectional interests,”’— St. Louis Central Afro-American. 3EGREGATIONS SPONSOR, “Mr. Wilson is the leader of his party. He stands for the segrega- tion of the Negro. His party stands for the same, The psychology of segregation is that it aims to brand as inferior beings the. race upon whom it is practiced, It cannot be practiced without: injury and dis- crimination It does not prevent racial friction, but increases it by encouraging racial hatred. It is a legalized badge of inferiority and “was not contemplated in the |fandamental principles of. the | American government, It is con trary to the spirit and letter of the constitution.

NEW ECONOMICS FOR THE SOUTH WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS SAY Idea Suggested by Dr. Booker T. Washington In Open Letter Meets Hearty Response — Secretary Toolan of San Benito Commercial Club Gives Great Impetus to the Movement. All over the south the "silver fleece" has become a "white elephant" on the hands of the farmers, and everywhere they are getting together and resolving to invest their time and valuable land next year in something which can be easily converted into cash or immediate use. When the farmer has raised milk, butter, eggs, pork, vegetables, corn, fruit and such things and for some reason does not desire to sell, these products always afford him direct or cash value in that they are available for his own consumption without leaving the farm. With a wonderfully prophetic insight tempered with prudence and common sense Dr. Booker T. Washington in a recent open letter sent broadcast over the south urged the colored people to devote their energies to the raising of products on their farms which have immediate and direct cash value rather than taking a gambler's chance on cotton, whose value is abstract, potential and entirely dependent upon the "frenzled" fancies of capital. As is often the case in such instances, white people are quick to grasp the significance and importance of such an idea. Our people, for whose benefit primarily Dr. Washington proposed it, should also take advantage of this opportunity for self help. In commenting on Dr. Washington's "raise a pig" movement the Lakeland (PhA) News sees it as valuable to all the people. It says: "An excellent idea, and it would have even greater excellence if this raise a pig movement should prove catching and take in all the people, white and colored. In 'in pig slime vines' would be a proud slogan under which to battle against the forces of hard times." The Staunton (Va.) News likewise takes a broad, comprehensive view and says: "This is excellent advice, and white people might follow it with equal profit. The south has given itself up to cotton in a large measure and is now suffering because cotton will not buy the things it usually buys. A little less cotton and a little more meat will add greatly to the wealth and prosperity of the south." The Savannah (Ga.) News adds this valuable thought, "One pig or even two or three pigs could pick up a good living about the premises of the average Negro farmer without expense to him and would be building flush that would bring him a comfortable sum in the killing season." By far the most positive proof of Dr. Washington's wisdom in this matter is expressed in the following news item from Texas, showing how the progressive white people of the south appreciate the value of hog raising at this time. The article says in part: "Secretary George A. Toolin of the San Benito Commercial club has advised the Texas industrial congress that a new approach to the proposition of growing hogs on the farm as a 'cash crop' has been made under the leadership of Mr. R. O. Barron, a progressive farmer of San Benito. Without waiting for the banks to furnish credit Mr. Barron purchased a carload of thoroughbred Duroc Jersey sows from the stockyards at Fort Worth and had them shipped to San Benito. Then he carefully selected a number of worthy farmers and leased them one or more sows each as the circumstances appeared to fistify. "By the terms of the lease the lessee agreed to care properly for the sows, which had all all been bred before shipment, and at the end of three months to return the sows and one half of the pigs to Mr. Barron, keeping the other half for himself. The introduction of hog raising on a larger, scale around San Benito has not only furnished every grower with meat, but has also provided a cash crop that wartime conditions will render more remunerative."

NORTH CAROLINA BAPTISTS MEET BIG INCREASE IN NUMBERS. Reports at Educational and Missionary Gathering Show Remarkable Work of the Denomination Along Many Lines of Endeavor—Notable Career of the Rev. Dr. Richard Spiller. BY GEORGE F. KING Wilmington, N. C.-That the Afro-American Baptists of North Carolina are making splendid progress in their activities for the upift of the race was strikingly demonstrated at the recent meeting of the great Baptist educational and missionary convention of this state, held at Hamlet, Dr. A. W Pegues, president; Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary; Dr E. E Smith, secretary. The progress made by this demination within recent years has been phenomenal. The Baptists number over 20,000 communists in this state. They are supporting over twenty secondary high schools and academies. The Baptist ministerial state organization was presided over by the Rev R. Spiller, LL. D., pastor of the Central Baptist church of this city, as pres A. REV. DR. RICHARD SKILLER ident. He is among the recent accession to the Baptist ministry of this state. He has pastored at Edenton, Concord and his present charge, and at each place his work has been very profitable to the people. No man has done more for the material intellectual, moral and religious spirit of the people than he in the respective communities in which he has resided. His first charge was Bristol, Tenn., where he was also principal of the public school. His next charge was the Bank Street Baptist church in Norfolk, Va., which he acceptably filled for nine years, during which time 600 persons were baptized into the fellowship of the church, a large church debt was canceled and $2,000 was left in the treasury of the church. The Calvary Baptist church of Norfolk, Va., was organized by him as a mission. It now has one of the largest congregations in the south. The Queen Street Baptist church in Norfolk was organized by him with three members. He pastored this church for about four years, purchased the building lot at a cost of $3,500 and erected a church building for $4,000. In 1887 Dr. Spiller resigned the pastoral charge of the Queen Street church and accepted the call to the First Baptist church, Hampton, Va., where he labored successfully for seventeen years. He canceled a mortgage debt of $3,000, completed the building and baptized more than 1,000 into the fellowship of the church. He organized the People's Building and Loan association of Hampton and presided as president of it for fifteen years, during which time more than 200 houses were built for our people, besides lifting a number of mortgages. This has grown to be the strongest local or organization among our people. He also founded the Spiller academy out of which grew the Tidewater institute that is now located in North Hampton county, Va. He was instrumental in bringing into existence the Hampton Supply company that was successfully operated, in the city of Hampton, with Mr. F. B. Banks as manager. He organized the Building and Loan association of the city of Newport, News, Va., which is still in operation and is being managed by the Hon. J. T. Newsome. In North Carolina he organized the Twin City Building and Loan association of Winston-Salem, and he is a friend of Professor Atkins, president of Slater institute. He is also interested in the Workingmen's Building and Loan association of Wilmington, N.C., of which Dr. F. W. Avant is president. Dr. Spiller is a man of influence, push and energy, and as a thinker, preacher and pastor he has but few equals. He has graced some of the leading pulpits in this country of both races. The leading Baptist paper of Virginia, the Religious Herald, says, "Rev. Dr. Spiller, educated by Dr. Corey, is probably the ablest colored minister in the state." Dr. Spiller offered the resolution which brought into existence the Virginia seminary at ```markdown ``` THE NEW PROVIDENT HOSPITAL LITERARY NEWS MEN OF MARYLAND It is always interesting, and very often helpful, to note how "others see us." Mr. William Cabell Bruce, the prominent lawyer of this city, in a note to the author, has this to say of "Men of Maryand: "It is written in a clear agreeable style and brings together within a brief compass important biographical details which might otherwise remain in a state of dispersion. Such a book ought to have a sensible effect in stimulating the further development of the colored people and dissipate the grossly unjust notion that they are not entitled to the fullest measure of intellectual opportunity." It certainly is most encouraging to note that men of the calibre of Mr. Bruce believe that we are entitled to "the fullest measure of intellectual opportunity." Nor are we unmindful that such opportunity brings with it a responsibility as great as the opportunity veuchsafed. Dr. Bernard Steiner, of the Pratt Library, says: "I am very glad that you prepared the book and am sure that it is well worth while for men of your race to remember those who had a worthy record of accomplishment in face of very considerable difficulties." But, Dr Steiner makes a suggestion which is well worth the serious consideration of all patriotic colored citizens. He says: "It seems to me that in this autumn there ought to be a celebration by the Negroes of Maryland of the fiftieth anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the state by the adoption of the constitution of 1864, and that at that celebration, recognition ought to be given to the very important services of Henry Winter Davis in obtaining that result." If ever there were a white citizen of Maryland who deserved the very warmest place in the hearts of the colored race of this state, such a preson is Henry Winter Davis. Indeed, it would be a task most difficult to form anything like a proper estimate of the invaluable services of Mr. Davis on behalf of the colored race of Maryland. In paying tribute to Henry Winter Davis, we but honor our ownselves. "One can not read "Men of Maryland" without realising that, all along, while the race had a difficult struggle, yet, there never failed a noble class of white men, who not only battled for them, but vouch-safed such personal opportunities which made it possible to produce the men of character who will ever shine forth as ornaments in the history of Maryland. Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth, A. M., Ph. D., Lieutenan-Colonel, retired, U. S. Army by Charles Alexander r. Boston, Sheran, French & Co. 6 - Beacon Street—Cloth 8 mo. $1.50 net: by mai $1.70. "The Negro should begin to recommend himself as a worthy model to his children, that the coming generations may realize that virtue and honor are not the sole possession of any race." This says Mr. Alexander is his justification in writing the "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth." It is worth noting that Alice Dunbar made practically the same statement in sending forth her "Master pieces of Negro Eloquence," and John W. Cromwell in his "History of the Negro in America." What is Dunbar and Mr. Cromwell aimed to accomplish in the utterances and history of many of America's foremost Negroes, Charles Alexander elected to illustrate by the life of a single American Negro—Allen Allensworth. Here is a man, a retired Colonel of the U. S. Army, who could remember the hardships and discouragements of slavery in the south; a great silent soul and man of vision, sincere in purpose and confident in himself, who rose by sheer, grit and will to a position of honor and esteem at home and abroad. Surely there is much here that is worthy of emulation. Mr. Alexander has set before us a character worthy of admiration. He has not however given us a connected narrative. For this reason the life and times of Allen Allensworth "would fit the contents of his volume more aptly than its present title. Leaving out the eight chapters of interesting but pointless introduction, the "Battles and Victories of Allen Allensworth" has much that is worth while, worth reading. C.J.M. WITH THE BOYS By C. A.

ORGANIZED WORK IN OLD DOMINION --- PURPOSE OF THE MOVEMENT Thousands Attend Second Annual Meeting of Organization Society Recently Held In Norfolk—Noted Educators and Leading City Officials Deliver Encouraging Addresses. Norfolk, Va.—The citizens of this famous seaport town are still making favorable comments on the work of the Negro Organization society of this state, which held its annual meeting here about the middle of November. Among the leading speakers were Dr. Booker T. Washington, Major R. R. Moton and President J. M. Gandy of the Petersburg Normal school, Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris of this city and Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute. President Gandy, executive secretary of the society, reported remarkable progress during two years of systematic work for the promotion of better health and better education among colored people in Virginia. The Negro Organization society, whose motives have been thoroughly unsettled, has had the hearty co-operation of colored leaders [Name] from tidewater Virginia to the extreme southwestern portion of the state. Within a year the executive secretary has traveled over 20,000 miles and has addressed no less than 16,000 people. Campaign Work In Fourteen Counties. To stimulate a desire for better schools and better health in rural districts, to help the people raise money for the improvement of their lives to commit our people to the policy of self help, to impress upon them the value of fresh air and to cooperate with the best white people, these have been some of the wise minds and direct results of the organization society. In a "cleanup week" campaign that was undertaken in the interest of public health, over 6,000 families in fourteen counties worked with county commitee to improve their homes churches and schools. During the spring cleanup week fully 150,000 coloured people joined in getting rid of waste and dirt. The society has enlisted the co-operation of thousands in the better care of their personal health and in the improvement of community life. Through out Virginia white public officials newspapers and prominent citizens have heartily indulged the work of Robert R. Moton and his associates and have in many cases been actively engaged in co-operating with the able race leaders. White People Show Much Interest. The Norfolk armory, where the meetings were held, was crowded to its limit. Six thousand people came to hear Dr. Washington and other men outline the aims and results of the work of the Negro Organization society. Nearly a thousand seats were occupied by the best white people of Norfolk. Indeed, the chamber of commerce postponed for a week the date of a "smoker" so that the colored people might have the largest hall in the city for the second annual meeting of the society. One of the young white lawyers of Norfolk, Mr. A. T. Stroud, together with the secretary of the chamber of commerce, Mr. William A. Cox, and other prominent Norfolk citizens spent a great deal of time and energy in perfecting the final arrangements for this excellent meeting. Hon. Barton Myers, president of the Norfolk chamber of commerce, spoke enthusiastically of the good work of Dr. Washington and encouraged the best white and colored people of Norfolk to understand their common problems and to work together for the public good. Editors to Hold Midwinter Meeting. Chairman Joseph L. Joues of the executive committee of the National Negro Press association has issued an announcement of the plans for the forthcoming midwinter session of the association to be held in February at Nashville, Tenn. Among the things to be the mission are a code service, advertising a news, subscription clubs and national national Congress. PRESIDENT WILSON'S LETTER. Chief Executive Sends Warm Note to Head of Organization Society President Wilson's attitude toward constructive work among colored people is admirably shown in his very recent letter to Major Robert R. Moton president of the Negro Organization society of Virginia. The letter was read at the Norfolk meeting of the society. President Wilson said: "I have been very much interested in the accounts I have heard of the work you are attempting to do through the instrumentality of the Negro Organization society and feel that you are to be especially congratulated on the deep interest which has been manifested by the white people of Virginia and the south in the plans now maturing for the betterment of conditions among the Negro people. "I think one of the happiest circumstances of recent times is this cooperation between the white people and the Negroes in the south in intelligent efforts to advance the economic success and comfort of the Negroes and put them in a position where they can work out their own fortunes with success and self respect. "I wish I might attend the meeting at Norfolk in person, in order to express my interest and sympathy, but I cannot. I hope you will feel at liberty to read this letter to the meeting Sincerely yours. "WOODROW WILSON" SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS TO MEET IN BIRMINGHAM Alabama Metropolis Awarded 1915 Session of Influential Religious Body. Nashville, Tenn.

Close and spirited was the contest among Acquaints, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New York city and Birmingham. There were several meetings of the board held, with numerous conferences, together with telegram communications with some of the critics, before the others could decide the winner. The result of Birmingham's victory at the conclusion of the meeting was announced by the Rev Henry A. Good, the congress secretary, who said that Birmingham had been because she started in time having allowed her invitation which was extended last year to go over for this year and be reopened for 1915. While the meeting was in session at the banquet, Fox, last time the ministers conference of Birmingham telegramged its invitation.

Lesson IX.—Fourth Quarter, For Nov. 29, 1914 Text of the Lesson, Mark xv, 22-37. Memory Verses, 25-27—Golden Text, Isa. iii, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We have seen our blessed Lord in the hands of the band who arrested Him; in the hands of the religious hypocrites called chief priests and scribes and elders; in the hands of the Roman governor, who chose to please the people rather than do what he knew to be right, and now He is in the hands of the soldiers whose orders are to kill Him. They crucified the Lord of Glory (I Cor. ii, S). They had no pity, and He could truly say, "I looked for some to take pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none" (Is. ixix, 20, 21). Let us consider Him in the hands of the soldiers, and through it all let our hearts keep saying, "For me, all for me, that I, redeemed by His great sacrifice, might learn how to hear something for His sake and be content to be killed all the day long." See the whole band gathered about Him, clothing Him with purple crowning Him with thorns, putting a reed in His right hand, mockingly saluting Him as king of the Jews, smiting Him and spitting upon Him. Then they took off the purple and put His own clothing on Him and led Him out to crucify Him, and He, bearing His cross, went forth (verse 20; John xix, 17). Imagine, if you can, what it meant to have clothing roughly put on and removed from a scourged back and to have a heavy cross laid upon it. Did you ever take a piece of cloth from a wound unhealed? Then think of Him. The story of Simon the Cyrenian compelled to bear the cross—His cross—seems to indicate that Jesus either stumbled because of weakness or fainted under His heavy load and sufferings. Simon was coming out of the country into the city, but had to turn back and bear a little for Christ's sake. When we are turned about in our plans or compelled by adverse people or circumstances to do differently from what we had intended it will help us to remember Simon and say "Amen, O Lord." It is recorded in Luke xxii, 27-32 that a great company of people and of women followed Him, bewailing and lamenting Him, and that He said to the women, "Darwin of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children," and He told them of the terrible days ahead of them, which days and things in due time came upon their city. Even more terrible things such as never have been or ever will be again are awaiting this world, but few believe it (Matt. xxiv, 21; Zeph. 1, 14-18; iii, 8; Isa. xxii, 9-13). Luke also tells us in the same passage that there were two malefactors led with Him to be put to death. Thus He was numbered with transgressors (Isa. iii, 12), and we must be contented to be so numbered for His sake. If we will let Him live His life in us we must be content to suffer with Him and to be miscalled, misjudged, misunderstood, falsely accused and in every way ill treated for all who will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution (II Tim. iii, 12). They came to the place of crucifixion, the place of a skull, called in Matthew, Mark and John "Golgotha" and in Lake "Calvary," and there they crucified Him, on either side one of the malefactors and Jesus in the midst. Never did so few words have such awful significance. The Son of God, the Holy One of Israel, treated as the vilest criminal, but it was for us He suffered, let each one say "for me," and consider, if you can, the cost of your redemption. It was all foretold, the pierced hands and feet, the parted garments, the casting of lots and all else (Ps xxii. 15a, 15i and elsewhere. Though God foresaw it all, that did not mitigate the guilt of cruel hands (Acts ii. 23; iv. 27, 28). He was crucified at the third hour, or 9 a.m. (verse 25). The passersby railed on Him, the chief priests and serfs mocked Him, the soldiers also mocked Him and offered Him vinegar, and they that were crucified with Him reviled Him (verses 25-32; Luke xxii. 26-38). One of the two thieves repented and went to Paradise with Him that day (Luke xxii. 40-43). With hands and feet nailed to the cross, without baptism or any good works, he believed, confessed Christ, and went to glory. There was darkness from the sixth hour to the ninth hour, and at that hour he died. Then was the veil of the temple rent in twain from the top to the bottom, the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, graves were opened, and after His resurrection many bodies of the saints arose and appeared to many in the holy city (verses 27, 28; Matt. xxvii. 51-53). These probably went with Him to glory. Fail not to notice with much prayer His seven sayings from the cross recorded in Matt. xxvii. 46; Mark xv. 34; Luke xxiii. 34, 43, 46; John six, 28-30 These texts do not give them in the order of utterance. The first is forgiveness, the second is glory, and the third covers all that we need while here on earth. Each of it other say- ings has its message on boards. 531 Presstman Street Phone Madison 1463 Y "Hair Dresser to Society" Of course there are other Hair Dressers BUT ONLY ONE POINDEXTER EXPERT MASSAGING AND MANICURING 833 DRUID HILL AVE.

"EVERY DISEASE MAN IS HEIR TO" Is the expression so often heard and used in describing the troubles and complaints afflicting humanity. Many diseases are handed down to individuals from parent to parent, while again, through lack of training and knowledge, we acquire the germs of disease at first hand, and the process of destruction of the fine tissues of the body is begun, ending in misery and death. If you suffer from any wasting weakness—if you have any skin or blood disease pain in bones, red spots, sore throat and mouth, painful swellings, kidney and bladder complaints, inflammation, scaldings, stricture, gravel, organic weakness, weak back, varicocele, lost vitality, impaired memory, swollen parts, discharges, or any disease resulting from indiscreions or overwork—it matters not how long standing—be not discouraged because you have consulted other physicians and received no benefit.
