THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIII. NO. 41 CHURCH WILL HOLDS GOOD Tennessee Supreme Court Hands Down Decision in Favor of Rightful Heirs to the Church Million. Memphis, Tenn., June 2.—The celebrated fight against the will of the late B. R. Church ended Saturday when the Supreme Court of Tennessee, in a unanimous decision, handed down through Mr. Justice Fancher, held that the will could not be attacked and that those who challenged it had no standing in court. The estate is valued at $1,000,000. This means that a great estate left by a colored man without a cent of indebtedness against it, will be distributed as he directed, and in no other way, and that the widow, Mrs. Anna S. Church, executrix, will not be disturbed as agent of the lawful heirs. The case attracted wide notice, because of the size of the fortune involved and the prominence of the Church family. It has been in the courts almost three years. When the first decision was rendered several newspapers carried erroneous reports the correction of which brought on a dispute. Laura Napier claimed to be the daughter of Mr. Church, and asked the right to attack the will. The Probate court of Shelby county favored her petition The Civil Court of Appeals of Tennessee, in unanimous decision, through Justice Higgins, reversed the Probate Court and dismissed the cause with out virtue. The Supreme Court affirms the decision of the Court of Appeals, and seals the reversal of the Probate Court. The contestant was represented by Luke E. Wright, while for the Church family ex-Gov. M. R. Patterson and S. M. Nesley appeared. The legal contest was a great battle. The burden of the defense of the will has been borne by Robert R. Church, Jr., who acted for his family. The heirs are the widow, Mrs. A. S. Church, Miss Annette, E. Church and R. R. Church, Jr., her daughter and son; Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, and Thomas A. Church, of New York, children of a former marriage. The fortune includes a larger real estate holding than has been accumulated by any other colored man. Among other notable achievements, Mr. Church founded the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Company, of which he was president at the time of his death. CLASS DAY NEXT FRIDAY Good feeling will have its sway at Bethel A. M. E. Church, the occasion being Class Day exercises for the graduating class of the Colored High School.

BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1915 BAPTIST COLLEGE FIFTY YEARS OLD Prominent Personages Present at Gala Celebration and Commencement at Virginia Richmond, Va., Jure 4. —Prominent personages from all parts of the country attended the commencement of Virginia Union University this week. Not only was a large class graduated, but the fiftieth anniversary of the institution was observed. The institution was established in Washington right after the Civiyl War, and was known as Wayland Seminary. When the Northern Baptist Convention decided to establish a university here, the seminary was merged into the Richmond Institute and raised to a higher standard. The exercises began with the baccalaureate sermon by Rev. B. F. McWilliams, of Toledo, O.; Sunday. The graduation exercises of the academy were held Monday, 21 students receiving diplomas. J. B. Terrell, of the State Board of Education, delivered the address to the graduating class. Graduates and former students held the day Tuesday, a number telling of their successes in law, medicine, journalism, the ministry and other callings. Among those on the program at night were Lieut. Gov. Ellison, Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, Dr. James H. Dillard, R. E. Blackwell, Prof. R. C. Woods and Major R. R. Moton. A reunion of the alumni was held Wednesday afternoon and at night diplomas were awarded graduates of the college and theological departments. TO ERECT MONUMENT FOR NEGRO "MAMMIES" Atlanta, Ga., June 4.—The Negro "Mammy," that servile, enslaved, unlettered polite and loving creature of the days of slavery, is to have a monument erected to her memory in Fiedmont Park. A number of the Old Guards, at a meeting at a local club last Friday, spoke of the days when they were cared for by "old Mammy" and decided to raise funds for the monument. Similar movements are on foot in other Southern communities. Despite the degrading influences of slavery, many of the older white men in the South loved these women with a devotion equal to that they had for their own mother. It was "Mammy" who nursed them, rocked them to sleep and cared for them in the days when they were least able to care for themselves. As interested as rare old Southerners in the life of this queen of slavery days, no interest is manifested in the general welfare of the educated grandsons and grandmothers of "Mammy." Indeed, the "new issue" is most times regarded as out of harmony with things, as they are free and disport themselves as do the grandchildren of the ones who today would honor "Mammy." FIFTY-SIX GRADUATES AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Va., June 3.—Fifty-six colored boys and girl- and six Indians were awarded academic diplomas, sixty given certificates at the annual commencement of Hampton Institute. Principal H. B. Frissell was unable to be present being in New York city to undergo an operation. WILMINGTON BARS PHOTO-PLAY Wilmington, Del., June 4.—The ordinance introduced a week ago by Dr. John O. Hopkins, the colored member of the City Council, prohibiting exhibition here of motion pictures that would be likely to provoke ill feeling between the races was passed by the City Council last night and sent to the Mayor for his approval. The act makes the Board of Police Commissioners the sensors of questionable shows and imposes a penalty of $50 every time one, is shown. "The Birth of a Nation," "The Nigger" and other race-hating plays will be barred by the act. Councilman Hopkins not only had the support of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and leading men and women of the race in its efforts to prevent any such plays from coming here, but none of the whites running moving picture shows or members of the City Council offered any objection to the legislation. Councilman Hopkins expresses himself as being highly pleased over the outcome, and says that the action of the City Council and the favorable attitude of the whites shows there is no general disposition here to star in the feelings between the races. Councilman Hopkins was elected two years ago and has made a good record as city father. He is a member of the firm of Hopkins and Banton, druggists, 12th and Walnut streets. BISHOP TURNER LEAVES MONEY TO SCHOOLS Atlanta, June 3. The will of the late Bishop H. M. Turner, of the A. M. E. Church, disposes of property amounting to $7,000. It is said that he gave $50,000 to his family and to educational institutions just prior to his death. By his will, his home at 80 Yonge street, is given to his wife, Laura Lemon Turner for life, but then goes to Turner Normal and Industrial College, at Shelbyville, Ind. He leaves $500 for a scholarship in Turner Theological Seminary, Morris Brown University and directs that Mrs. Turner give to deserving ministers of the denomination his collection of books. The residue of the property is to be divided among his two sons and daughter after the death of his wife. METHODIST LAYMEN TO GIVE DINNER Methodist men, representing churches of the denomination in and around Baltimore, met at John Wesley M. E. Church a few evenings ago. During the evening an informal discussion of the proposition providing bishops for races and languages took place. It was decided to give a dinner on June 28. Bishop Earl Cranston and Dr. Ernest Lyon will be among the invited speakers. DR. W. A. SINCLAIR ILL. Philadelphia, Pa., June 4—Dr. William A.

IRATE MINISTER SMITES SON-IN-LAW Rev. Martin Said to Have Engaged in Fistcuffs When Son-in-Law Attends Meeting of Christian Endeavor The tongues of all Northwest Baltimore were wagging this week as the result of an attack Rev. James G. Martin is said to have made on his son-in-law, Charles Lacato, during the closing session of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of Payne Memorial A. M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. Young Lacate was seen to rise as if to leave the church during the meeting when Rev. Martin spied him. The latter arose from his seat, it is claimed by eyewitnesses, and approached the young man, struck him unawares and sent him sprawling to the floor. He struck him several blows more before the pastor's son and others could pull the irate minister away. Lacató went to the street and after he had recovered his composure started to enter the church and "go after" his father-in-law, it is alledged, but his friends prevented such action. There were over 200 persons in attendance at the league meeting and the affair threw things into an uproar. One or two women screamed and the pianist became so nervous that she could not play. The alleged attack is said to have been due to the opposition of Rev. Martin to his daughter's marriage. She was a member of this year's graduating class of the High School and when Lacato approached the parents of Miss Bertha Martin and asked her hand in marriage, Rev. Martin is said to have told him that he wanted his daughter to go to college and teach a year or two thereafter. He also advised the young man to buy a home before he thought about marriage. The answer of the love-smitten couple to the advice was that they stole off to Ellicott City several weeks ago and got married. When Rev. Martin heard of their marriage he was incensed, and it is alleged that he saw the bride on the street and chased her several squares last Saturday. Mrs. Lacato is said to be afraid to venture away from home now rather than meet her father. The groom is 22' years of age and is regarded as a man of excellent character. He has taught a class in the Sunday School of the church and been otherwise active in the affairs of the church. He is employed by the American Label Company. The bride is 19 years of age. Another daughter of Rev. Martin, Iola, surprised her parents last summer by marrying William Stanley, of Stirling street. CHAPLAIN SCOTT DELIVERS ADDRESS San Francisco, June 4. The sixty-third anniversary of the Third Baptist Church is being observed here. At the opening, Wednesday night, Chaplain O. J. W. Scott, of the United States Army, delivered an address on "Lincoln, the Ideal Citizen." GETS BIG DAMAGES Nearly One Hundred Men, Representing Every Line of Activity In Atten- Racial enterprises were given a big boost at the test'montial banquet given by leading citizens to Capt. George W. Brown and Walter Langey at Pythian Castle last Friday night. The function was given as a token of the esteem in which they are held for the successful building up of Brown's Grove as an excursion resort, and was largely attended. J. Logan Jenkins was the caterer. Following the delivering of a number of impromtu toasts, a committee was appointed to make a survey of opportunities of Baltimore colored men and women to enter business pursuits here. Prof. Mason A.

Ashbie Hawkins, George B. Murphy, J. Clarence Smith and Hugh M. Burkett. Mrs. Lillian Reid Thompson sang several selections. Following the dispatching of the appetizing menu served by Caterer Jenkins, the speechmaking began: George W. F. McMechen served as toastmaster. The speakers, each of whom lauded the business ability and success of Messrs. Brown and Langley, follow; Mason A. Hawkins, William White, George T. Brent, Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander, Dr. C. H.

Of course you note I have been doing some riding since I left you, and I am going to do some more before I am through with it, but all mail will reach me at Box 472 Birmingham, Ala. I have been to Atlanta, and have seen several schools there. For instance I have been to Morris Brown University, and I want to hare congratulate Dr. W. A. Fountain on the good work he has done during the year and he is still doing for the race and for the young people who help to make up the race. He has had nearly one thousand students in the school. Like Bishop Flipper he has devoted his life to the work and I believe that the church will recognize his worth and work, and there is no reason why it should net. Dr. Fountain has had some knotty problems with which to deal during the year, and he has handled them with diplomacy and ease. For instance one of his professors thought that it was his right to have the girls come to his room and write for him. The president protested, or objected to it—in fact, he put his big foot down on it, but the profesor insisted that it was his right. Two kirgs could not rule on the throne. Two girls were ordered by the professor to come to his room, and they went, and found themselves suspended for 24 hours. This is where Prof. Taylor got his ire up, and he demanded that the girls be reinstated at once, or he would resign. That is he gave the president until 12 o'clock to reinstate them. They were not reinstated until the time was up and now the professor will have to seek other quarters for next year. I had the pleasure of being with Prof. John Hope also, and he has closed his school and the students have all gone home. Perhaps you note that I do not go to Atlanta University, and perhaps you have wondered why. Well, you see there is a white man at the head of this institution, and he does not bother much about our people. He is just a white man, that's all. The students of this institution do not get to see our people much, for the treatment will not warrant one in going there. But I have made up my mind to go there next year, and let them give me the proper treatment or the improper treatment and tell you all about it. The same is largely true at Clark, in fact at most of the schools with white presidents, but I must not take much time in complaining about these things. From Atlanta, I went to Birmingham, but did not stay there but one night, and left bright and early Monday morning for Tuscaloosa, Ala., to attend the annual session of the "Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection." This is one of the strongest orders in the South and was founded by Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, of Birmingham, who is also founder and president of Tuggle Institute. She is just in the swim, and just doing her work to perfection. It is a nice thing to see one of your race that has accomplished something. They had a special carriage over the L. and N., to Tuscaloosa. They were accompanied by the Tuggle Institute band, and these young people did make some music, believe me. I was real glad to hear them and to talk with them. Prof. John Whatley, who was brought up in the school is at the head of the band. I was in the meeting when it was called to order. I was there when a gloom of sadness was cast over it, when the death of Mrs. M. W. Adams, was officially announced. Mrs. Adams, was the daughter of Mrs. Tuggle, and the wife of Mr. tor Oscar W. Adams, editor of the Birmingham Reporter. She was a charter member of the order and held the position of endowment secretary. She was a good one, because she was well trained, being a graduate of Normal, under the late William H. Councill. They wanted to parade, and the Mayor of Tuscaloosa gave them permit to parade with this provision "You must confine your parade in the section where the 'niggers' live and must not parade in the white section of Tuscaloosa." There was no parade, and the business was finished and the delegates got out. I wonder if it is going to be with the other organizations that are to meet there during the summer. The Odd Fellows and the Pythians will both meet there in August. The people in Tuscaloosa know how to charge if nothing else. I went from there to Montgomery, spending one night there only, then on to this place. I am here for one day only, and will go to other points in Georgia. I am spending just a little time in Georgia looking around. I think I have said enough for this time. I am getting ready to go to war. I think I may have to go if it is only to help elect a president of the United States. TO SUPPRESS "THE BIRTH OF A NATION" Boston, Mass., May 28.—Immediately following the signing by Governor Walsh of the bill preventing the production of "The Birth of a Nation" and other plays aimed at the Negro, counsel for the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People petitioned the newly-created board of censors to stop Thomas Dixon's "Birth of a Nation." The board of censors is composed of Mayor Curley, the police commissioner and the chief justice of the Municipal Court. As Mayor Curley has already announced his opposition to such plays it is thought that the board of censors will prohibit the continued production of the play. The counsel for the Associat ion are: Butler [R. Wilson, William H. Lewis and J. Mott Hallowell. The passage of the bill prohibiting such plays is largely to the efforts of William Monroe Trotter, Rev. Aaron Puller and others of the race, backed by leading white citizens and newspapers. RISHOP WALTERS NOT OFFICE SEEKING New York, May 27.—Bishop Alexander Walters denies as without foundation the rumor that he is an aspirant for the position of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. "I have spent valuable time," he says, "in trying to secure for the race a honorable position in the Democratic party. I worked hard for the success of the party in 1912 and that without thought of political preferment for myself. Soon after Mr. Wilson became President several Democrats of national repute offered aid in landing me the position of United States minister to Haiti. I declined their offer on the ground that the bishopric was high enough office for any man and that my sphere was there. "I have, however, pushed the claims of colored Democrats for recognition and am extremely desirous that the same be given while I believe that the next Recorder of Deeds will be a colored Democrat you may put it down that it will not be me as I am not desirous of holding political office.

ENTERTAINED AT DINNER Easton, Md., June 3.—Mr. and Mrs. Essex Floyd entertained a few of their friends at dinner in honor of Mrs. Floyd's sister, Miss Bozie Griffin, of Crisfield. Those present were: Miss Neill Wilson, of Crisfield; Mr. Leon Collins. Mr. Harry Butler, Mr. Hugh Parson, Mr. John Watkins, of Baltimore, Miss Daisy Griffin, of Crisfield and Mr. and Mrs. Essex Floyd THE AFRO-AMERICA LEDGER BOYS' COLUMN BOYS' COLUMN One of the most interesting meetings of its kind ever held in Baltimore having as its aim that of uniting the Boy Scouts of our various churches, convened at the residence of Mr. Charles A. Carey, Monday last. The meeting was an important one and though each one that was present at that meeting has many Sunday School duties and other interests upon him; yet not one present thought the taking up of extra united boys' work a burden. Those present represented every important section of Baltimore. There was Rev. P. C. Neal, pastor of First Baptist Church the first to arrive. He had another engagement but in order to drop a cheering word to the young men and pledge to the movement he attended the Boy Leaders' meeting first. Then two others arrived shortly after, Mr. Benjamin Grant Scott, Master at First Baptist, and his assistant Mr. Oliver Jones. Shortly after came Mr. Pinkney, Drill Master at Macedonia and Captain Louis Holly of Macedonia ranks. Then Mr. Davis representing John Wesley was there to assure all that John Wesley was also in accord with the movement. Then came Editor-in-chief, Mr. John H. Murphy, followed shortly after by Mr. Tolson, leader of the forces at Ebenezer. Mr. Joseph Kelso, assistant scout master at Waters, was acting secretary for the meeting and worked as faithfully as a salaried official. Let us say right here that Mr. Murphy as responsible for all that great Boy Scout "turn out" the other Saturday. The idea somehow from somewhere jumped into his "pate." He told his son Arnett. His son Arnett told the Boys Editor, and the Boy's Editor told the preachers, and the preachers, (you know they could not keep this secret) told their boy leaders and there it was. So since Mr. Murphy kicked it all up he had to suffer the consequences by "making a speech." The address was indeed inspiring, and so strong in points of real practical worth that several times he had to await the passing of applause. Very thoroughly did this address stress not only the thought that a uniting of the various scout troops would be a good thing but gave reason after reason why such a union should exist. The other scout masters each spoke on the question but each remark only served to prove the each is filled with the desire to become united in one work, one struggle, one aim and equally share one success. The Afro-American Ledger congratulates these men who assembled to bring about such close ties offriendship among the boys of our churches and stands willing to assist the movement in any fitting way. EBENEZER Ebenezer reports her work in most excellent shape. Boys are securing their suits in a most encouraging way. The numerical strength is increasing. Interest is mounting higher and finance taking an upward shoot. The meetings are well attended and much good is being done for the boy and his future welfare. Mr. Tolson, and Mr. Ross, Jr., are the able leaders of this movement. Ebenezer boys are proud of their leaders and stand ever ready to cooperate. --- The Boy Scouts of John Wesley Church are very much pleased for the opportunity of having their names in the paper as being among the Boy Scouts of the various churches and to think that one of their scouts in the person of Scout Alenzo Davis' picture appears in the last week's issue as being a flagman. They were also glad to know that Scout Davis saved the life of a little white girl who ran out in front of an automobile. He pulled her out of the way of the passing machine. The by-standers praised the scout for his noble work and said that he was a scout indeed. Boys, the boys' column is open to you, its free. You don't have to pay a cent.

Benjamin Brawley in a recent article in the Southern Workman has the following to say of the possibilities of the race for advancement in the arts and in music: With reference to the Negro two things are observable. One is that any distinction so far won by a member of the race in America has been almost always in some one of the arts, and the other is that any influence so far exerted by the Negro on American civilization has been primarily in the field of aesthetics. But there is something deeper than the sensuousness of beauty that makes for the possibilities of the Negro in the realm of the arts, and that is the soul of the race. The wail of the old melodies and the plaintive quality that is ever present in the Negro voice are but the reflection of the background of tragedy. No race can rise to the greatest heights of art until it has yearned and suffered. "The Russians are a case in point. Such has been their background in oppression and striving that their literature and art today are marked by an unmistakable note of power. The same future beckous to the American Negro. The Negro has great gifts of voice and ear and soul, but so far much of his talent has not soared above the vaudeville stage. This is due most largely, of course, to economic instability. It is the call of patriotism, however, that America should realize that the Negro has peculiar gifts which need all possible cultivation and which will one day add to the glory of the country. Already his music is recognized as the most distinctive that the United States has yet produced. SMITH'S HAIR DRESSING For Women, Men and Children For softening the hair, and making it easy to comb.

It is a vigorous little infant which promises growth. --- The donation of two hundred dollars by the Alumni Association of the Colored High School to the Provident Hospital this week sets a good example for some of our people who have a little money to do likewise. There is not a single institution of its kind in the country self supporting. Johns Hopkins has received several millions of dollars in gifts since its organization. How many hundreds of dollars has Provident Hospital received? The Alumni Association is to be congratulated on this splendid gift and it is to be hoped that it will be the means of other organizations and individuals contributing to this worthy object. It was stated in the columns of this paper last week that certain of the members of our race had been treated with discourtesy in one of the largest department stores in this city. This is not the first instance of the kind, and we are wondering just how many more of them are needed to induce some of our people to take some of the money out of the white people's banks and go into business where our women will not be insulted. There are enough Negroes in this city to furnish employment for every Negro in this city without asking one single white person for employment. Almost the entire business carried on by the Jews in this city has been built up in the last forty or fifty years. We have not started yet. When are we going to start? If ever it is about time we were getting at it. THE GET-TOGETHER SPIRIT One of our great faults is that we so often wait until a person is dead before we think of saying a good word about them. We wait until the funeral cortege is about to leave the house before we think of sending a flower of which the deceased can neither see the beauty nor smell the fragrance. The time to send flowers is while the person is living and can appreciate both the fragrance and the beauty. The word of encouragement can be spoken at any time when it will best serve the purpose. It was along this line that a number of Baltimore's most representative citizens assembled at the Pythian Castle on Friday evening of last week to do honor to one who has shown that the honor was well deserved. Captain George W. Brown and Purser Walter R. Langley, of the Steamer "Starlight," were the guests of honor at a banquet given by a number of citizens, and it was a well deserved tribute to two men who have done more for the pleasure of Baltimore than any other two men in this city. In his response to the toast in his honor, Captain Brown told of the struggles of himself and his partner in building up the excursion business in Baltimore, and what they had gone through in order to obtain for their people the splendid steamer and grove now owned by them. The only regret we have was that there were not several thousand of our young men and women present to be encouraged by the recital of the struggles for success of these two men. It would be well if we could have few more of these "Get-together movements." We need them in this city for the encouragement of those who are starting out in business life and those who have been struggling against strong odds to build up a business. Baltimore has one of the largest Negro population of any city in this country, and there are few other cities of the same size or even less that is doing less in the way of business than we are, and it is movements of this kind that will open our eyes to the great necessity of doing more than we are doing. Let us get together. ONLY A LITTLE BLACK BABY Just one hundred years ago, the 23rd of the com ng December, in a slave hut, near New Market, in the county of Kent, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a little black boy was born, the infant son of a slave couple. It was a very ordinary incident. Hundreds, yea thousands of such babes, were yearly ushered into a life of slavery. But, this particular little black baby, was destined for a great mission. In the mind of the Almighty he was to be one of the mighty pillars whereby "America's Peculiar Institution" should be wrecked and cast into the sea of oblivion. This little black baby having enshrined in his personality manifold gifts from the Most High should, in his own personality, vindicate the right of his own people to enjoy freedom and all the privileges common to man. Henry Highland Garnett was the name of this highly favored child, who, entering the world, not altogether unlike his Divine Master in obscurity and wretched poverty, should make his triumphant march as a savior of his people. So wonderful, brilliant and mighty was his rise to eminence and leadership that those having eyes and ears could but realise the presence of the unfolding of a great moral miracle before the sons of men. And, yet, he was but one of a noble and illustrious army of witnesses that were raised up from among the black people as living evidence of the brotherhood of all mankind. It so happens that Maryland was rich in the production of such black men who were to assist in moulding the public opinion of the nation by the which the cursed institution of human slavery should forever be removed from this country. The commemoration of the one hundredth birthday of Dr. Henry Highland Garnet ought, to commend itself to the colored people of the entire state. In such a commemoration, we would not only do honor to the character of Dr. Garnet, but call up before the hearts and minds of all our people, the noble army of eminent Marylanders of the black race, who, since the birth of Garnet, followed him in the same work of self-sacrifice and devotion to the oppressed. The 23rd of December next, as well as the remaining portion of the year 1915, should be devoted to such a patriotic commemoration. In every church, and Sunday School; in every day school, and literary society, as well in every fraternal and secret society among us, the deeds of our mighty men, for the past one hundred years, should be the inspiring theme. Sueh a celebration should prove the turning point in a mighty revival of learning and literature among the race. Necessary is it as, the industrial age as such alone, had had sufficient play. A gracious reaction is urgently needed to impress upon us the fact that man doth not live by bread alone. For as necessary as are material things, the Almighty has wisely ordained that men should live rather in their heads than in either their stomachs or their backs. Garnet, Douglass, Ward, and others in the midst, not only of poverty, but slavery itself, have proven to us the nobility and grandeur of black men who dare to think, and aspire to live in such a lofty atmosphere. The youth of the race can not know of and drink in the thrilling sense of their own kind, who, overcoming a mountain of difficulties, attained recognition and superiority, without discovering within themselves the mighty sensation of a new and inspiring life. Once upon a time, the lyceums and debating schools were as eagerly attended and thronged, as are the dancing THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER academies of the present day. Then there was a wild and intense desire, everywhere, to educate the head. Now, unfortunately, the keen desire seems towards educating the feet. We need a gracious revival of learning, and a sincere thirst for culture and refinement. By all means let us have a genuine and inspiring celebration of the life and character of that noble black man who helped to redeem his race, in this country, from the degradation of slavery. Of him, a certain slave holder, who chanced to attend an "anti-slavery meeting," in New York, in the forties, said: "As soon as he opened his mouth and began his speech I was filled with amazement. Never in my life, before or since, have I heard such pure and beautiful English, such finely turned sentences, such clear and polished rhetoric, such lucid, crystal thoughts. His gesticulation too, was as refined and elegant as his speech was chaste and manly. Never from that day have I ever had any doubts of the full capacity of the Negro." THE BIRTH OF A NATION The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has won its fight in Chicago and Boston against the photo-film, the Birth of a Nation, founded on Thomas Dixon's "Clansman." The fight against the showing of the film was especially bitter in Boston and culminated only with the passing of a bill, vesting the Mayor, Chief of Police and the Chief Magistrate with the power of censorship. Attached to the bill was the Association's amendment, making a majority instead of a unanimous vote necessary for a decision. The bill was signed by Governor Walsh on May 21. The play is now running in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In these cities the fight goes on. The encouraging statement comes from the Association, however that the play has aroused opposition, wherever it has been showed, and further that both races have united in lodging protests against it. Criticisms agree that the film, while purporting to be, is not in reality historically true, and that the "pack of pictured lies" is produced for no other reason than to increase racial hatred now existing. The "Congregationalist and Christian World" reports an interview with Thomas Dixon in which he stated what he wished to accomplish with his photo-play: first, to glorify the efforts of the Ku Klux Klan which alone prevented domination of the South by the Negro in the period of reconstruction, and as an organization was composed of the best men of the Southland including Mr. Dixon's father, a Baptist minister of North Carolina; second, to increase race hatred and especially among white women, thereby making intermarriage an impossibility; finally to intensify this racial feeling until it results in separation, America for the whites and the blacks transplanted to Africa. A month before Mr. Dixon's interview with the Editor of the "Congregationalist, 'Mr. Moorfield Story voiced his protest in the Boston Herald against the revise 'Clansman,' and its 'misleading' historical incidents. The Ku Klux Klan was formed originally for amusement, becoming later in its development a part of the determined effort on the part of Southern whites to prevent Negroes from voting. "The Ku Klux Klan had really run its course before colored voters exercised any substantial power." The idea of the Ku Klux Klan saving the South from the "tyranny and union of the colored people" if not a "pictured lie" is at least a myth—it is not history. In answer to Mr. Dixon's second justification of his play, the "Congregationalist" proposed the query, what of the white men who without the marriage bond, are constantly increasing the number of mulattoes especially in the South? Mr. Dixon could not repy. Finally as to the proposal of America for white Americans, many answers suggest themselves, physically impossible, financially prohibitive. To quote the "Congregationalist" again—What would become of America, this social melting pot of all nations, if we should apply this same political and racial policy to our present mixed population. This cannot be considered the last word however, Mr. Dixon has not consulted the Negro himself. With the Negroes' consent a great expulsion is conceivable, without it—let him try it. AN ANNOUNCEMENT I desire to state that the rumor is absolutely false that I by underhand methods got the job as chef at the Gilman Country School. I was assistant to Mr. London Taylor for four years and he and I are still the best of friends. W. T. Plater. [Portrait of a man with a mustache and a suit] CAPT. GEORGE W. BROWN WALTER R.

A Card of Thanks The authorities of Provident Hospital take this opportunity to express their deep appreciation to the Board of Lady Managers, the Ladies' Auxiliary, the Advisory Board and the generous public for the splendid results of the Hospital Benefit, April 27, 1915. The net proceeds were $5.00. "You are all wrong, Phalanx, you are all wrong." The Winnemuccas Social was astonished to see a statement in the paper which claims that the Phalanx Social was invited to a surprise at 2141 Division street and turned away on Wednesday, May 19. In the first place the Winnemuccas Social did not give a surprise at the above residence. Secondly, no invitation was extended to the Phalanx or any other Lanx. Lastly, the president, who is the executive member of the Social, had authority to send them away from her house, since nothing was being held there. A word of warning is: "Be sure you are right, before you publish such insignificant, false, statement." Signed: Winnemuccas Social, Gertrude Banks, Pres. SPECIAL NOTICE It is to be deeply regretted that some of those who are supposed to lead our race along religious lines have seemingly lost all respects for themselves and the sacred calling to which they have been elected. The altercation between one of our supposed leading ministers and a young man of sterling integrity in which the initiative was taken by the former only tends to confirm this statement. It is unbelievable that a man of such vast intelligence and such deep conscienciousness should open his conduct to censure without having first considered the possible result. Hence to our minds as members of the Allen League of Payne Memorial Church, we neither pity or sympathize for the Doctor in the very conspicuous and uncomfortable position in which he has placed himself, but we do most earnestly regret that he manifested so little respect for the house of God and for one of our most important services.

As was expected Harry Martin the national champion on the 220 hurdles, was the star of the meet, carrying off the individual trophy for scoring the most points. He won the feature event, the 100 yard dash, invitational, in the fast time of 10 and two-fifth seconds; the 120 yard low hurdles, and the 220 yard dash. The surprise of the meet, however, was the running of Robert Earl Johnson, Morgan College. Baltimore, in the mile and two mile runs. Johnson, who recently won the Afro-American Marathon race easily outran a field of seven of the country's best runners in the mile, finishing in the fast time of 4.41 2-5, breaking all of Howard's previous track records for that distance and running the two miles in 10.37 2-5. In this event Johnson was closely contested by W. A. Murray of the New York Smart Set A.C., until the last lap of the race, when he drew away from his opponent by a grand spurt, and finished almost a 100 yards in front of him. James Carter, the little 95' pounder also of Morgan College distinguished himself by winning the 50 yard dash from a fast field in the good time of 6 1-5 seconds. The Smart Set A. C. of New York won the mile relay, the other feature event of the meet in 4.13 2-5. Referee Clark and Clerk Ballantyne of the P. A.

THRIFTY CENTER OF EDUCATION Rapid Growth of State School at Orangeburg, S. C. EXERTS A WIDE INFLUENCE. Notable Achievements of President Robert S. Wilkinson of the Agricultural and Mechanical College—Wins the Distinction of Being an Educational Expert. Orangeburg, S. C. — South Carolina has given to the race one of the foremost leaders and educators in the country in the person of Professor Robert Shaw Wilkinson, president of the State Agricultural and Mechanical college, at Orangeburg. He represents the possibilities of the young men who will prepare themselves, find a place and stick to it. Professor Wilkinson is a native of Charleston, S. C., and was given his foundation for an education in the public schools of Charleston and also completed the normal course in the Avery Normal institute, in his native city. He was appointed to the West Point Military academy in 1884 from the First congressional district of South Carolina, a distinction which has been won by but few members of the race. Because of physical conditions he remained there only one year and then entered Oberlin college. He graduated from the classical course in 1891 with the degree of bachelor of arts. He won many honors for his literary work. Because of his achievements in the arts and sciences Oberlin conferred on him the degree of master of arts. Being well prepared, his first real school work was done in the state university, Louisville, Ky. For five years he was active in this work, holding the position of professor of languages and vice president. He made good in Kentucky and made many friends. But when his native state called him to take the position of professor of mathematics and physics in the new state college, established in 1896 under the land grant college en- [Name] DR. ROBERT SHAW WIERKINSON. actment of the federal government, he responded by resigning from the state university. Since his connection with the school many positions have been offered him, but he has remained at Orangeburg with the state school, filling several positions. He is an all around man, and when there is a position of any kind to he filled he readily serves. The valuation of the property has been increased from $150,000 to $275,000 and the faculty at the same time from twenty-six to fifty-seven and the enrollment from 502 to 1,100 annually. New departments and courses have been added, until now it stands as the training place for professional and vocational teachers not alone for South Carolina, but for other states in which the graduates are finding their way. In the student body are to be found representatives from Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It is of interest to know that the graduating class for this year numbers sixty-eight, and there are 112 in the freshman class. The annual budget of the college exceeds $50,000. Dr. Wilkinson had conferred on him the degree of doctor of philosophy by the state university of Louisville, Ky. When it comes to doing things for the race he is always found in the front rank. He is active in many organizations representing refinement and culture and racial uplift. He is a member of the Episcopal church, a lay reader in the Orangeburg mission and holds membership in the following organizations: National Geographical society, Southern Sociological congress, Free and Accepted Masons and the Knights of Pythias. In the Knights of Pythias he is grand master of exchequer and is custodian of over $20,000 annually for the order. In the extension work he travels extensively annually over the state and is accomplishing great good for the material advancement of the race. He has won for himself the distinction of "educational expert." To him are referred many matters upon which he is considered an authority. The latest development in the institution is the summer school for the training of teachers. In this school 300 teachers enroll each year. In 1897 Dr. Wilkinson was married to Miss Marion Birnle of Charleston, S. C. Their union has been blessed with four children. TYLER AN HONOR GRADUATE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OHIO. Son of Ralph W. Tyler Completes Course In Pharmacy. Columbus, O.—The only member of our race in this year's graduating class at the College of Pharmacy of the University of Ohio is Waldo Woodson Tyler of this city, son of former auditor for the navy, Ralph W. Tyler. Young Tyler took the four year course, specializing in chemistry, in which he has been rated high, and will graduate with the degree of bachelor of science. There are thirty members of this year's graduating class, the remaining twenty-nine being white. The majority of the white students took the two year pharmacy course, but Tyler, along with eight whites, took the four year course, and this course at the University of Ohio is regarded as one of the hardest and most efficient of any university in the country. From the ten colleges which make up the University of Ohio there will graduate this year over S00 students, only seven of whom are colored. One young colored man graduates from the College of Agriculture in the person of Henry A. Wilson of Talladega, Ala. There will be five graduates from the College of Veterinary Medicine—Norman Dumas Miller of Fort Smith, Ark.; Robert M. Winkfield, Lexington, K.Y.; Louis M. Weaver, Ironton, O.; Ralph Vincent Kennon, Cedarville, O., and Elmer LeRoy Carson of this city. The University of Ohio has 5,000 students, only about thirty-five of whom are colored. The institution is richly endowed by federal and state appropriations, and possesses buildings that are second to no university in the country. No distinction is made in the admission of students on account of color. Commencement Week at Tuskegee. Commencement week at the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute began on Sunday, May 23. The commencement sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Theodore D. Bratton of Jackson, Miss. The students marched to the chapel in a body. Thursday, May 27, was observed as commencement day, and the address was delivered by the Right. Rev. R. B. Williams, bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church of Augusta, Ga. Special trains for commencement day were run from Opelika, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. Dr. J. W. Darden was in charge of the party from Opelika and Victor H.

Lincoln Knew Our Worth to the Nation Lincoln Knew Our Worth to the Nation. Abraham Lincoln, in a letter to Michael Hahn in March, 1814, congratulating Mr. Hahn on being the first governor of Louisiana as a free state, suggested that the governor let the colored people in, "as, for instance," said Lincoln, "the very intelligent and especially those who have fought gallantly in our ranks. They would probably help in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom." Lincoln was right. The colored Americans have ever been loyal to Old Glory, and our soldiers have fought heroically upon many battlefields. Moving Pictures Show Race Progress.

J.—The forty-second annual session of the New Jersey conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, recently held in this city, was one of the most notable sessions of that body. The conference sessions were held at St. Thomas' A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. W. D. Robeson is pastor. Bishop G. W. Clinton of Charlotte, N. C., presided. He was assisted by Bishop J. C. Caldwell of Philadelphia. Among the general officers present were Drs. J. C. Dancy of the Church Extension society; L. W. Kyles, editor of the Quarterly Review; G. C. Clement, editor of the Star of Zion, and Mrs. Marie Clinton, who represented Dr. J. S. Jackson, financial secretary of the connection. Together with the general officers of the church, there were prominent men of the church and connection from other cities. Among them were Rev. Dr. & L. Corrothers of Philadelphia, W. H. Lee of Brooklyn, H. J. Calls of Chicago, Professor W. O. Carrington of Livingston college, P. A. Wallace of Philadelphia and Rev. Dr. J. Harvey Anderson of the Philadelphia and Baltimore conference. It was a record making conference, and before it adjourned it went on record as opposing discrimination and segregation and condemned in strong terms the practice of lynching. The conference indorsed the plan for a saloonless nation, passed a resolution favoring woman suffrage and advocated a larger national freedom for the Negro. The financial condition of the conference was never in better conditions, and despite the hard times it met most of its assessments. The conference was welcomed to the city by representatives of the city government, the white pastors of the city, as well as representatives of the local churches.

VALUE OF FARM PROPERTY. Lack of Proper Information Concerning Our Achievements in Education and Wealth May Be Cause of Apparent Prejudice Against the Colored Population in Buckeye State. BY RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O.-It is perhaps to the disadvantage of the colored man that white friends know more about the foreign born citizens who are in our most than they do about the colored race, which, like the poor, we have with us always, and have had with us since 1920. It may well be that an unconsciousness of what the colored man has done and is doing rather than any innate race prejudice is responsible for much of the apparent discrimination the race suffers from in Ohio. Any time there exists within a specified domain a goodly number of people of any race or nationality who, in all things for mutual progress, are one as the hand, but in all things social are as separate as the fingers on the hand, there develops a problem to invite the serious and helpful attention of all those who are willing to vouchsafe exact justice without regard for race or color. There are 111,452 colored persons in Ohio, all native born Americans. These people are not decreasing in numbers, but, on the contrary, are increasing. They increased 15 per cent in a decade. They are not all black—those people whose earlier ancestors, as Cowper said, were "forced from home and all its pleasures; Africa's coast they left to form to increase a stranger's treasures, over the raging billows born." Of the total colored population in Ohio of 111,452, 39,249 are mulattoes, and in a strange form of evolution the mulattoes have increased since 1870, when they formed 28.2 per cent of the total colored population, until now they form 25.2 per cent of the colored population. In contradiction to the southern states, the colored population in Ohio is most largely urban, and the urban population is increasing at a rapid rate each year. Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Cleveland showing the largest per cent of increase of any cities in the state. Of the total colored population in Ohio $2.22$ is urban, while only 20,170 is rural. While the back to the farm movement has not caught on to any very appreciable extent with the colored race, still of the eighty-eight counties in Ohio but twelve report no colored farmers. There are 1,948 colored farmers in the state who own farm property to the value of $6,901,721$. This is an increase in the value of farm property owned by colored farmers in Ohio of $2,003,799, or 60.2 per cent. since 1900. Even the avowed enemies of the race must admit this is a commendable showing and one which gives fresh concrete evidence of progress on the part of the rural colored population. One other commendable and noteworthy fact respecting colored farmers in Ohio is that they are most largely owners rather than mere tenants, for of the 1,948 in the state 1,311 are actual owners of their land. It is surprising that the race in Ohio has made such phenomenal progress in reducing its illiteracy when conditions are such as to make such a large per cent of them hewers of wood and drawers of water. In spite of the fact that, of the 49,297 of the race who are ten years of age and over, 41,243, or 88.7 per cent, are engaged in gainful occupation, still the race in Ohio has reduced the illiteracy at a remarkable rate. Of the 70,836 colored urban population in Ohio there are but 7,053 who are illiterate, and of the 22,074 rural population but 3,407 are illiterate. Cincinnati shows the largest per cent of colored illiteracy of any city in the state and Cleveland the lowest. In Cincinnati there are 2,503 colored people, or 14.5 per cent. above the age of ten years who can neither read nor write; in Columbus there are 602, or 8.7 per cent, who are illiterate, and in Dayton there are 392, or 9.5 per cent who are illiterate, while Cleveland has but 806, or 4.1 per cent, who are unable to read and write. The fact that 41,243 of the race of ten years of age and over are compelled to be employed in gainful occupations affects, to some extent, the school attendance on the part of the race. In Cleveland 60 per cent of the colored children of the same age are in school: in Cincinnati 57.2 per cent are in school: Columbus falls behind Cincinnati with but 55.4 per cent of colored children of school age in school, while Darton shows just a trifle better in this matter with 56.8 per cent of colored children of school age in school. If an appeal to Caesar* was made on behalf of the race in Ohio it would be proper to state, and to show, that the 111.452 colored people in Ohio spend every working day in the year 800.726 with merchants—the grocers, furniture, dry goods and shoe men, who give the race no representation, with but very few exceptions, above a common laborer's job; that the race in Ohio has on deposit in the banks of the state $4,672.210, but not a single clerk in any of these depositories of the state to assist in handling their deposits. VIEWS OF BISHOP FALLOWS. What the Noted Prelate Says About the Coming Chicago Exposition the Coming Chicago Exposition. Chicago...In connection with the large exposition to be held in this city at the Coliseum from Aug. 22 to Sept. 16, will be held the Abraham Lincoln jubilee celebration, at which hundreds of relics of martyred president will be shown and tribute paid to the memory of the great humanitarian. The exposition will be unique, says Bishop Samuel Fallows, state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, and president of the exposition. Nothing like it has ever before been done or even attempted. The exposition will mark fifty years of freedom for the colored race in America. Assurance that President Wilson will be present was made to Bishop Fallows in a message from Washington which stated that Mr. Wilson will attend if no unforeseen governmental complications arise to prevent. Governor Edward F. Dunne of Illinois is the president, ex-officio. State Senator John Dalley of Peoria is vice president. Among the honorary vice presidents are Miss Jane Addams, Governor Baldwin of Connecticut. Governor Bass of New Hampshire. Judge Theodore Brentano, Andrew Carnegie. Thomas E. Cannon, head of the Catholic Order of PETER H. H. THOMAS WALLACE SWANN. Foresters, Chicago; former Governor Charles S. Deneen, Cardinal James Gibbons, Governor Whitman of New York and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young. Twelve distinct departments have been created for the exposition, and in them will be shown exhibits from nearly every state in which the negro is a part of the population. These departments are religion, education, industry, social progress, music, sociology, military, liberal arts, professional, fraternal, athletics and miscellaneous. Nineteen state legislatures have either passed or have before them bills providing appropriations to establish state exhibits. Hundreds of letters approving the purpose of the exposition have been received, representing every race and religion, every profession and business and social activity in America. The exhibits of the progress of the colored man since his emancipation from slavery will be many and various. Each of the 400 colored schools and colleges in the United States will be represented. The best of 3,000 parents granted to colored men by the federal government will, by special arrangement, be brought to Chicago to show in the Coliseum. The government of Liberia, Africa, made up originally of freed slaves from America, will send an exhibit, and Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago has been appointed their official representative by the Liberian government. The Roman Catholic exhibit will be a feature of the exposition, including, besides paintings and sculpture, many relics of the Negro in his relation to the church. There are more than 2,000,000 Negroes engaged in agricultural pursuits, and 78 per cent of them are in the southern states. More than 28 per cent of the total number of farmers in the south in 1910 were Negroes and 12 per cent of the total farm acreage was operated by them. The Negro has produced 6,000 books and periodicals nearly 7,000 songs and musical compositions. The Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann is secretary of the commission, having charge of the celebration. Growth of the Mayesville (S.C.) School. The Mayesville Industrial school at Mayesville, S.C., was founded many years ago by Miss Emma Wilson. It is doing a most commendable work among the people of that section of the state. The school was started in an old abandoned cotton gin house without any furnishings. Ten children of the neighborhood formed the first group of students. It has grown from a very small school to one of the largest and best managed of its kind in South Carolina. Miss Wilson is still at the head of the work and tells a most thrilling story of her struggles to maintain the institution during the early years of its existence. Many good white people, north and south, contribute to its support. The June issue of the Crisis Magazine is called the Great Northwest number. It bristles with much interesting and instructive reading matter. The "Men of the Month" section is illustrated from photographs of persons who have won distinction in their line. Each month brings new friends to this militant race publication, "which has come to the kingdom for such a time as shes."

GIRLS' COLUMN The Camp-fire girls of Waters will give a drill at Allen African Methodist Episcopal Church next week. It promises to be quite a swell affair. These girls are now preparing their summer work. They expect to go camming either on the Easton Snore or some nearby place. We are sure they will have a joyous time, as camping is the very best sort of enjoyment. The girls of Ames Memorial M. E.; Church are as busy as bees. They meet each week and carry on a splendid work in the interest of the church and have a social hour now and then. The services of the Y. W. C. A. last Sunday were in charge of the "Home Circle." They also had some of the latest hymns on their new Victrola The girls were assisted by Miss Eslander Thomas and Miss Bowen who gave an excellent duet on the new piano. Girls' Day was held at Asbury M. E. Church last Sunday. They had a fine program and everyone present enjoyed the services. We are indeed glad to see the girls working for the church. The girls of Bethel are beginning to organize. They hope to organize the Camp-fire girl's club in the near future. It means work,girls, it means work. "Wholelo for Work," "Wholelo for play" will be their yell. The Sunday School Social is working very diligently preparing for their summer work. We are glad to say that they have started on a solid foundation and are working on an intelligent basis. If you don't believe it, watch them. The recital at the Training School last week was a very fine affair. The girls of the senior and junior classes were on the program. The June Festival at the Y. W. C. A. Tuesday was the finest of the season. There was a good attendance. The girls wish to thank those who assisted them in making the affair a success. 1 cupful diced pineapples One half cupful mayonnaise One fourth cupful whipped cream Berries or cherries to garnish Time: preparation, 20 minutes.

Vernon 4010-M "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, varicose, lost vitality, impaired memory, swollen parts, discharges, or any disease resulting from indiscretions or workover—it matters not how long standing—be not discouraged because you have consulted other physicians and received no benefit.
