TEACHERS IN CONVENTION
Winston-Salem, N. C., July 1. Pedagoges from all over the State attended the annual session of the North Carolina Teachers' Association at Slater State Normal School last week. Among those who delivered addresses were the Mayor, Prof. S.C. Atkins, Col. James H. Young, Dr. Calvin S. Brown, John Merrick, Dr. A. M. Moor, Prof. J. E. Aggrey, C. G. O'Kelly, president of Kittrell College; Dr. W. A. Jones, Dr. E.E. Smith, E. E.Sams, N.C. Newbold and C. H. Bcgs.

BUCKNER MAY GIVE
UP LIBERIAN POST
Washington, July 2.—The report that Dr. George Buckner is going to resign as American Minister to Liberia and the visit here of Richard T. Greener gave rise to all sorts of rumors. Prof. Greener denied that he wanted either the Liberia portfolio or Roscoe C. Bruce's place as assistant superintendent of school. He is said to be desirous of landing a good consultship. Prof. Greener was consul at Vladvistok, Russia during the administrations of McKinley and Roosevelt. He has been practicing law in Chicago since. He attended the recent 50th annual reunion of his class at Phillips Exeter Academy. It will not surprise the friend of Dr. Buckner should he relinquish his post as Minister to Liberia at any time. He is now with his family at Evansville, Ind. The expected resignation has stirred colored Democrats and many are willing to visit Africa as American minister. Dr. Buckner is the only colored Democrat who has received a presidential appointment.
PROMINENT COUPLE MARRY

TO HAVE SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
More than a thousand colored children have been rehearsing during the past week for the parts they are to take in the Safe and Sane celebration at Druid Hill Park next Monday afternoon and evening. The children are to sing patriotic and community songs, among them "America," "The Star Spangled Banner," and such old favorites since grandmothers' times as, "How can I Leave The," "Sweet and Low," "Lovely Evening," "Love's Old Sweet Song," and "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes."
They will be seated on a slope near the colored play grounds which, with semicircle of trees at the foot and an open space beyond, forms a kind of natural amphitheater. Here also colored children from the several playgrounds in the city will give costume plays, games and Fo'k dances to the accompaniment of a band of ten pieces. Firecracker boys, grasshopper girls, and tiny-toot frogs will enliven the occasion, each group with their own peculiar antics and camphols.
Then the roads will be cleared for the various athletic events under the direction of Messrs. Bernard Webb and Lewellyn Wilson of the Public Athletic League, open to all comers. -fat boys, lean boys, tall boys, short boys, and all other kind of boys who can run, jump, hop, skip, or roll.

Seven companies of Boy Scouts with about 200 boys in uniform under Scout Master David E. Green, Benjamin Grant, William E. Davia, Charles A. Cary, Luther C. Mitchell, Charles Tolson and Dr. D. G. Mack, will be in attendance and assist in the various events. They will meet at their respective headquarters and march to Druid Hill Park.

The committee in charge of the Colored Safe and Sane Fourth is: Harry T. Platt, chairman; Dr. A. J. Mitchell, secretary, and William L. Fitzgerald, treasurer.

CONFERENCE OF S. S. WORKERS
Prominent Visitors From Many Discuss Sunday School Work-
"Conform to the spirit of the age and make Baltimore a heaven and the United States a holy land" was the advice given by Dr. R. C. Ransome, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, speaking at Bethel A. M. E. Church, where a conference of the Sunday school workers of the Baltimore Conference has been in session since Wednesday.
His subject was "The Informer, Reformer and Transformer in Sunday School life."
"Neither modern eugenics and environment will do all for men and women", he said.
"Jesus Christ brought no books or theology to the world, but he did bring God in the flesh. The Sunday school teacher must be incarnated with the spirit if he would succeed in his work."
After advising that the lives of persons should be reformed as to be in keeping with the trend of the times, he said that transformation of old-fashioned ideas was seen in healthy sports and in social uplift work. "No longer do we claim that scourge and disease are the handiwork of God, but we do see His hand in the work of sanitation and human betterment work. Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, told his hearers that they be of more service in Sunday school work if they used all of their gifts and faculties. The convention opened Wednesday with a sermon by Rev. P. J. Jordan, following which Mrs. Annie E Waddleton, of Washington, spoke on "Our Sunday School Union."
At the evening session Elmer A. Henderson, who is presiding, outlined the scope of the meeting, W. H. J. Beckett, secretary of the Washington Y. M. C. A., urged the workers to prepare for the best service and J. R. Paul Breck, of Philadelphia, spoke upon "The Sunday School as a Training Department for the Church." Rev. A. L. Guines said that the Sunday school should be a potent influence in the shaping of character.
A part of the morning session was devoted to methods in Bible study, conducted by Rev. Arthur Randall, of Towson. The exposition of methods in Sunday school work and a conference of superintendents occupied the remainder of the morning session. Those participating included: George Sumner Whyte, Howard E. Young, Miss Sarah R. Jackson, Miss Ella Brown, Miss Elna L. Waters, Miss Gertrude C. Fisher, Howard D. Brent, James M. Collins, A Sightler and Mrs. Rebecca Palmer. Rev. J. W. Sanders preached a short sermon.
A Sunday school institute for the instruction of the workers was held in the afternoon, those taking part including John W. Woodnous, Mrs. E. N. Washington and Rev. P. W. Wortham.
BOY SCOUTS THERE.
The Boy Scouts had charge of the latter half of the program, crowding the church and rendering an inspiring program. Charles A. Cary who presided delivered an dress on "Why We Scouts United." Scout Master Benjamin Grant urged wholesome pasttimes in the churches and Scouts Wilson and Charles Handy gave an outline of plans for bringing the boys into church. Others who took part in the exercises included: Scouts Raymond Elbert, Robert Chase, Earl Cohen and Alonzo Davis.
PRICE THREE CENTS
At the men's meeting Revs. C. H. Stepeau and J. G. Martin were among the speakers, the latter taking for his subject: "The Hereditary Effects of the Immorality of the Father Upon the Children." Mrs. Georgia Dobson Boston delivered an address at the mother's meeting on "The Sacred Duty of Motherhood." A girl's meeting, speeches on the liquor traffic, the discussion of methods and a reception to the delegates were among the features of the day. Following a brief session this morning the delegates will go to Druid Hill Park and in the afternoon, take a trip to Brown's Grove.
BUSINESS MEN'S MEETING
The second of a series of public meetings under the auspices of the Colored Business Men's Exchange as held at Sharon Baptist Church on Thursday night. The meeting was called to order by Clarke L. Smith, who introduced Mr. William H. Dodd, president of the Exchange. Mr. Dodd spoke of the formation and object of the Exchange, emphasizing the importance of cooperation among business men. He also introduced a number of business men to the audience. Rev. W. M. Alexander, pastor of the church delivered an address in which he attributed the failure of some enterprises to the fact that as soon as success smiled upon some of our business and professional men, they immediately proceeded to forget those who were responsible for their success. He predicted that the time would come when there would be an insistent demand that doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers and others of the same class, who made their money from the colored people, should patronize their own enterprises. Mr. J. Harvey Williams read a paper that had been prepared by Mr. J. Logan Jenkins, who was unable to be present.
METHODIST LAYMEN
ATTEND BANQUET
Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church presented an inspiring scene Monday night at 200 ministers, and laymen sat down to the banquet of the Methodist Man's Social Union. The tables were prettily decorated, and those set aside for representatives from each church carried special decorations. Following the serving of an appetizing menu by Catarar Julius C. Johnson, a number of addresses were delivered. George A. Owans, the master of ceremonies, urged closer fellowship among the Methodist men of the city and vicinity. Dr. Ernest Lyon read a paper advocating an autonomous relation for the colored membership of the church, and the sentiments expressed therein were endorsed by the assemblage. Rev. Charles W.

St. Clair, George A. Watty, Dr. C. H. Fowler, William Cook, Clinton Johnson and others. A banquet followed.
COMMENTS UPON COURT DECISION
COMMENTS UPON COURT DECISION
Leading White Dailies Express Varying Opinions Concerning Grandfather Clause
The upsetting of the "grandfather clause" by the United States Supreme Court has brought out varying views from daily newspapers throughout the United States. The Boston Herald editorially states that the decision is the South's own fault as it failed to follow Lincoln's advice and admit educated colored men to suffrage, while the ever fair Springfield Republican professes to believe that the decision means that the white South will still solidly support the Democratic party. The New York World says that the decision establishes the United States as a republic at last, while the New York Times, in a bitter editorial intimates that the white man will rule or shoot, instancing the North Carolina riots of 1898.
The Philadelphia Press says that "it is gratifying to have the Constitution upheld, and with the 'grandfather clause' annulled, made again in its entirety the supreme law of the land," in the Philadelphia Record (Dem.) adds that "the 'grandfather clause' is so obviously inconsistent with all American political ideas that it is difficult to see how ingenious lawyers could have expected it to stand the scrutiny of the Supreme Court." The Raleigh News and Observer, published by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, professes to be alarmed at the decision and the more temperate Columbia (S. C.) State takes a clamer view and ventures the opinion that while colored people are "satisfied" not to vote, but that in a generation or so colored men will be voting and in both parties. The New Orleans Times-Picayune says that the "grandfather clause" was a makeshift, and the suffrage question will have to be dealt with by the coming Louisiana Constitutional Convention.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat sheds no tears at the abrogation of the clause and mentions the fact that colored college professors in Oklahoma were excluded from voting by comparatively uneducated election officials, in what it calls an endurance rather than a literacy test.
SURFERAGE QUESTION AGAIN
New Orleans, La., July 1.—The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court declaring invalid the "grandfather clause" may cause a reopening of the suffrage question at the forthcoming constitutional convention. Various parishes in the State are now about to elect delegates to the convention, and the question of the right to vote may become a burning one here. Louisiana was the first state to enact "grandfather clause." Not only are the great majority of colored voters eliminated thereby, but 12,000 whites have failed to avail themselves of this provision of the law and at the same time show their illiteracy.
IS NOW A FULL-FLEDGED CAPTAIN
Mr. Edward Waters, who has been engaged as pilot on the Steamer Starlight for several years, has been granted a "Master's" license. Mr. Waters is now a full-fledged captain with a big "C" and would be able to carry the Starlight to Brown's Grove should anything happen to Captain Brown. Captain Waters is a native of Snow Hill, Md.
SUMMER SCHOOLS BEGIN TUESDAY
Opportunity to be Given Backward Children to Catch Up With Their Classes.
The attention of parents is called to the exceptional opportunities offered by the summer schools. Pupils who have, through deficiencies, failed of promotion, may make up the same by attending the summer school, thereby avoiding the necessity of repeating a term of five months. The summer school therefore, means a saving in money and labor to the parent, as well as to the child.
The elementary Summer School begins Tuesday, July 6th, and is held daily except Saturday and Sunday until August 27 h. There are two elementary summer school's School No. 103, Division street, near Lanvale, of which Mr. William H. Lee is principal, will hold its sessions from 8:00 a. m., to 12:00, School No. 105, Rogers avenue and Lexington street, of which Mr. H. Grafton Brown is principal, will be open from 9:00 a. m. tc 1:00 p. m. It is important that parents should send their children who desire to attend the summer school, promptly on the morning of July 6th, at which time the elementary schools will be organized.
The summer school for high schoo pupils begins 9.00 a. m., Monday, June 28th. As the high school summer school covers only a term of six weeks, from June 28th to August 6th, it is important that the pupil should enroll the first day and attend regularly thereafter. The summer school, elementary and high, offers a great opportunity to our boys and girls. It is to be hoped that the parents will see to it that proper use is made of them.
EIGHT GRADUATE FROM
CATONSVILLE SCHOOL
Grace A. M. E. Church, Catonsville, was crowded Thursday, the occasion being the annual commencement exercises of the Catonsville Public School.
An interesting program was presented under the direct on of Mrs. Mamie Bruce, the principal, and her assistants. Asbury C. Rideout delivered an oration on"The Negro in America." Miss Mary C. Henson, Miss Marie H. L. Young and Herbert D. Harris gave recitations Dr. Harry S. McCard delivered a helpful address to the graduates. The invocation and benediction was by Rey. C. H. Murray.
The graduates were Marie C. Henson, Georgia May Rhodes, Marie H. L. Young, Leigh A. Allen, Sclomon T. Gray, Thomas Ferdinand Noel, Asbury C. Rideout and Edward Greenville Simms.
PORTABLE BATH HOUSE FOR SOUTH BALTIMORE

It will open on Tuesdays and Thursdays for females and on the remaining days of the week boys and men may bathe. It will open Sunday mornings.

Do all the good you can,

Joseph Mickens, School No. 103.
The above poem Master Joseph Mickens tells us he composed himself. His mother and father are both out of the city and Master Mickens lives here in Baltimore with relatives. He devotes his spare moments to poem writing—and the readers of the column may read more of his productions in the near future.
Master Mickens has composed one poem on himself—and we understand its a little funny. So if you want to smile keep them back until next week. Ed.
ST. PAUL
The editor had the pleasure of attending an entertainment given by Master Walter P. Johnson and Master Robert M. Chase of St. Paul M. E. Church, assisted by a number of young ladies of the same church, and some young men from Macedonia Baptist Church. Any church having two young men as Johnson and Chase of St. Paul should indeed feel proud of them and spare no pains to encourage their every well meaning effort. These two young men, members of the Junior League, themselves without being asked, set themselves and others to work to get up an entertainment. The main feature of the entertainment being a short play. The boys and girls did well with their parts and showed that the majority of them had studied their parts well. One of the characters disappointed in his love affairs is so affected that he is moved to tears.
Master Chase had this part. The editor has known this cheerful young man for a long time out never had the opportunity of seeing his "natural" or "artificial" tears until last Monday in the play. Here Master Chase put on such a "rye," face and "let out," such "mule-like," cries that the editor began to grow a bit nervous for fear a real "mule" had been concealed behind the curtain ready to use his heels any moment. The "crying part" was soon over, however, and the editor who had grabbed his "bonnet" ready to run, felt safe once more.
One thing we regret, however, such a small number of the mothers and fathers were out to encourage their children. We did not see a half dozen in attendance. The audience was made up entirely of the friends of the "actors." This criticism by no means applies to St. Paul alone but to the majority of our churches. Occasions conducted by young people are poorly attended by those somewhat older and too occasions conducted by older persons are attended by the young people. What is needed is cooperation from both sides and an appreciation by the one for the work of the other.
The work of St. Paul boys in their very recent entertainment deserve commendation.. Masters John Thomas, Theodore Martin and Harry Evans, were the Macedonia assistants.
THE PSALM OF A BOY
Blessed is the man who showeth favor to a boy;
For in his feebleness a man shall help him.
I looked upon a boy and turned away,
For I saw naught that was comely.
I was as those of old who despise a child;
Even as one who despised a son of his flesh.
But O, Jehovah, thou hast opened mine eyes;
Thou hast taught me to see the worth of a boy.
A child needed a friend,
And, behold, a boy was there to protect;
A dumb animal was illused,
And there stepped forth a boy to protect God's creature.
He turned away and forgot the giver;
But a good deed done to a boy,
Is like an entry in God's great book.
I sought a man and led him to a new life;
I pointed him to the Father and Friend.
Sin was strong upon him;
The stains of sin were like scars.
But thou, Jehovah, didst save him; Thou didst keep him as the shepherd keeps his flock.

He gave Jehovah all he possessed;
But his life had been wasted in sin.
I sought a boy e'er sin touched his life;
Even a boy as God had made him.
And Jehovah built a wall around that boy;
He protected him in every evil hour.
Yea, and Jehovah used him as he did Samuel;
He used him as he did David.
In the morning nours he labored;
He was about his Father's business.
At even he rested; But many hands took up the work.
His life was like rain upon thirsty field;
It was like the sun upon the cold ground.
His passing was as the coronation of a king;
As the benediction of a heavenly minister.
Turn their feet early to thee;
Establish their goings in righteousness.
Then, O Jehovah, thy Church shall prosper;
Then thy kingdom shall come to this world.
From the Epworth Herald.

THY RESURRECTION FROM
POLITICAL DEATH.
The decision which was hauccd
dows from the Supreme’Court of
the Usited States, en dure 2tsr. is
dhe greatest act, polideally hy fir
ag the coired race is concerned,
which hay taken plsce since the
adoplion of ‘the Pifreenth Amend-
mséfit to the Constitution of the
country. Fora short period follow-
ing. thy clore of the civil war, the
Nagra began to jive, politically
“When we lived in clover, bat,
when we died, we died all over.”*
Such was the effect. of that huge
fraud. perpetrated upon our Dems-
eracy by the infamous ‘Grandfather
clause.’? ‘The decision recently
handed down by a chief justice,
asouthern man, an ex-confederate
soldier, a Democrat, and a Roman
Catholic, ig but the symbol) of the
reaurrectian of an entire race of
peuple from political death and
exile.
The Supreme Court has simply
given the interpretation of the Gon-
stitution, not only as itis, but as
it was in the beginniog, is now,
and ever shal! be. Such was in the
mind and heart of Thomas J2ffer-
son when ke drafted the Declara-
tion of Indepeadence. It was, evi-
dently,in the mind of the framers
of our Constitution that ‘'slavery’’
was but a temporary evil; that it
should pass: away and that all men
should be comprehended as equals
in the one Republic. Even. the
poor Indian was not excluded from
such a delightful prospect; for
Thomas Jefferson, in his second
jnaugural, as President, in re
ferring to the Indians, uses: thi:
atriking sentence: ‘‘Eodowed with
the faculties and the rights of men,
breathing an ardent love. of liberty
and independence, and: occupying
a.country which left them no de:
sire, but to be undisturbed.’
‘Again, in e@ letter to Joho Tyler
occurs. this sentence: ‘‘that one:
half of our brethren who fight anr
pay taxes,are excluded, like Helots,
from the rights of representatior
as if society were instituted for.th
aoil and not for the men inhabiting
* it}. or one-half of these could dis
pose of the rights and the will o
the’other half, without their con.
<sent.”” And lastly, this sentence,
from the same author, with re
spect to black men: “And witl
what execration should the states
man be leaded, who, permitting
one-half the citizens thus to tram
ple on the rights of the other trans
“forms those into despots, and thes
- into enemies, destroying the: moral
‘ofthe one part, and the amo
~~ patriae of the other.””

But, fiir. Jefferson was sound on
the question of human rights, be-
cause he was fundamentally sound
in good moral. Mr? Jefferson,
writing very. affectionately to a
young man,: gives goed aod whols-
gome advice worthy of all young
men, Let our young colored men,
already in business, or who hope to
enter therein, read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest the following:
“Make these, then, your first
object. Give up money, give up
fame, give up-science, give up the
earth itself and all it contains,
rather than do an immoral act.
And never suppose, that in any
possible situation, or under any
circumstances, it is best for you
to do a dishonorable thing, how-
ever slightly so it may appear to
you. Whenever you are to do a
thing, though itcan never be known
but to yourself, ask yourself how
you would act were all the world
looking at you, and act according-
Is. Encourage all your virtuous
dispositions, and exercise them
whenever an opportunity arises, be-
ing assured that they will gain
strength by: exercise, as a limb of
the body does, and that exercise
will, make them habitual. From
the practice of the purest virtue,
you may be*assured that you will
derive the most sublime comforts
jn every moment of life,and in the
moment of death. If ever you find
lyourself environed with difficulties
and. perplexing circumstances, out
of which you are at a loss how to
extricate yourself,do what is right,
{and be assured that that will extri-
cate you the best of the worst sit
Juations. Though you cao not see,
‘| when you take one step, what will
‘be the:next, yet follow truth jus
tice, and plain dealing, and nevei
|fear their leading yor eut of th
labyrinth, in the easiest manue:
‘possible. The knot which yot
‘lthought a Gordizn one, will unti
itself before you.” .
MARYLAND MEN MAKERS
OF HISTORY.
The simple name of ‘Dred
Seott,’’a Negro slave, calls to mind
one of the. most far reaching de-
cisions; effecting the status of the
States, The ordinary Vernacualr
of. the essence of the-decision was,
to the effect, that ‘‘a Negro had
no rights. which a white man was
bound to respect.’” The chief
justice who handed down this
opinion was 2 mau of Maryland,
and a devoted Roman Catholic,
Another decision has just been
handed down from that same bench,
the chief justice being a man of
Louisienna, and also an ardent
Rornan Catholic.
We. are not aware of any decision
hitherto eminating from that av-
qust and golemn body fraught with
so mush good and benefit to the
black people of the country, as the
pone handed down this week, invali-
‘dating on of the greatest. frauds
jever perpetrated upon our free ia-
stitutions, namely.. the ‘‘grdhd-
‘father elause’’ in the eonetitutians

i@AN: INDEPENDENT VICTORY.
The decision -of the Court of
Appeals regarding the rights of
declined voters to register their
effiliation at any registration, is a
distinct victory for the independent
voters of Maryland 1t means that
the leaders of both parties at
future primary elections will be a
little more particular in choosing
‘the candidates for public office.
These leaders will take into con-
sideration the thousands of voters
who are more interested in good
government than’ they are in party
affiliation, knowing that they will
have the right at any time to cast
their “votes for the best man in
either of the dominant partics.
The decision may also mean that
thousands of voters, who are inde-
pendent in their polities, but who
have registered a party affiliation
in order to take part in the various
primary elections, will, in the
future, register ‘‘deelined’’ ao as to
be in a position to force the party
Jeaders to put up the best available
candidates.
It ig gratifying to know that this
condition of affairs was brought
about through the efforts of ¢
colored man .a member of thai
portion of the electorate who hay
never been given any credit ir
|Marsiand for aspiring to independ
ence in polities. lt is also amus
ing to. notice how the identity o
the colored man was lost in ch
mention of the case in the loca
Bourbons. Had it been a case o
stealing a. ham or a chicken, th
fact that. Daniel Murphy, the com
plainant, was a colored man, woul
| never have been forgotten.

IN MEMORUAH
HARRIS—In’ sad but loving 1e-
membrance of our der son, Walter
H., who departed. this life three
years ago June 3, 1912.
Relentless death among us comes
And bitter grief imparts;
It takes the loved one. from our
homes,
But never from our hearts,
Heaven retaineth now our treasure
Earth alone his casket keeps
And the sunbeams love to liager
Where our darling. son sleeps.
Lonely the days and sad the hours
Since our deor boy passed, away;
Bur, oh, a brighter home than ours
In heaven is now his.own
. By his devoted parents.

"6. 8 Hanley, Treas.
Banville, Va.—I suppose you will say that I am the most getting aroundest man in the country, and I hardly know what to think about it myself, but I am going some, and enjoy it to the highest. Old age does not make any change in my getting around and this you will-readily understand, and while I am writing this letter from Danville, Va., Saturday night, I will be in Baltimore and away from there before you can read the letter, because I will have been there July 1, and July 4th will be with Dr. A. L. Murray in Jersey City, N. J.
When I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health last week. I was in Bristol, Va., and when I left there I found my way to this place, and I am right here now, but will be away in a few days. I will have to tell you about it. While in Bristol, Virginia-Tennessee I met many people, and they tried to see how great a time they could give me and I accepted it with all my heart and mind and soul. I was the guest of Rev. W. L. Sanders and his wife and two sons. He is pastor of the M. E. Church and is erecting a fine temple for the people. This young man has gone right into the hearts of the people. He is a Clark University man and well trained.
During my stay in Bristol, I had the pleasure of shaking hand wish the Rev. Dr. C. H. Johnson, pastor of the leading Baptist Church in this section of the city, and then I met Mr. Clark who is some worker in the B. Y. P. U. and the cause of temperance. Mr. Clay is at the head of a big business here and is the leading spirit in the National Negro Business Legues. He is at present the head of the League and is getting ready to go to Boston next month.
Speaking of the Business League they are going to have a big meeting and there will be many people present. Mr. Emmett J. Scott is as busy as can be, and no time in the history of the National League will they have a program to equal the one now in question. It will pay you to hear it. There is just a cheap rate on any how to Boston this time in the year, and you should get your money together and go. The press gang will meet there this year, and I will not be there myself, but I will be represented.
But then coming back. Bright and early Tuesday morning, I got myself together and left for New York. I have been invited, to Marion, and sent the preacher word that I would pass through here en route to another part of the world. I looked for him when I passed through Marion, Va, but he was not there. I was some disappointment, but your woman got on the go going to Petersburg, and said "This is Col. J. O. Midnight?" I assured, her that it was the right pumpkin, and she gave me a letter from the preacher expressing regrets that he would not meet me, but would look for me on the 7th of July to speak for his people. I will be there, and if you want me to have a letter there, send it to Marion, Va, care Rev. Wade.
Now about the young lady who brought to me the note. I exchanged a few words with her and found that she was one of the Marion teachers and was on her way to Petersburg to take on just a little more education. She was Miss Frances Cooley. I rode with her to Lynchburg, and then bade her goodbye. We had to stay in Roanoke about one hour, and it was used in seeing some people. I had a fine time.
Well, I had to make a change in Lynchburg and spent one hour or perhaps three hours in making the change. Rev. R. L. Wynn, who has a fine automobile, tomed me around in it. He is editor of the Opportunity, a weekly paper published there and he is going some. It is a rare thing that you find an editor with one of them things that goes without horses.
On to Washington, where I made a quick change, got me a bed car, went to bed, and was soon in New York. I went there to attend to some business and to see Dr. J. W. Rankin hold the meeting of his board. That is to say Bishop C. S. Smith, presided and associated with him was Bishop John Hurat. These two strong men made some good speeches, and gave some timely advice and warning. It will pay us to sit up and take notice. Bishop
his side is Bishop Hurst:
Dr. Rankin has been doing some good work during the past year. I want to here congratulate the A. M. E. Church for electing him to the high position. He is just fitted by nature for the position, and I hope he will never get the bishop bee in his head, but continue during his active life to render service in the missionary department of his church. I would never favor making him a bishop.
There was a full board present, except Mrs. Mary F. Handy, of Baltimore, and Mrs. Laura L. Turner, of Atlanta. Both-of-them sent letters regretting that they could not be present. You see Mrs. Turner has but recently lost her husband and I do not know what to say about Mrs. Handy, but there was something which prevented her from being present. These two women are great workers in the cause of missions in their church.
I was busy in New York and had the pleasure of meeting that great writer N. B. Dodson, and I went to the office of a modern newspaper, The New York Age. Editor Fred Moore, was as busy as could be putting brains on paper for the people, and then he had writers all around him. He has a real newspaper office. I felt like singing "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow." I just held my peace and looked. I met the managing editor, the city editor, the editorial writer—in fact the whole cheese. He has a well fitted office, and I hope to say more another time.
After meeting and taking supper with Mrs. Iola Crampton, the young clerk, and calling on Mr. and Mrs. Bert Williams, I got my little feet together and went down to the stable got in my bed car and left at 12:30 that night for Reidsville, N. C., where I had the pleasures of attending a Sunday School convention. Two nights in that place, and today finds me here in Danville, Va., and while I am here may not say much about it. That was some Sunday School convention, believe me.
I had the pleasure of hearing some good Sunday School talks during the convention, and meeting some big men. Miss Eugenia Carter, who is a teacher in the D. D. and B. School, is one of the best teachers in the country. She has been doing some good work. But she is now in bad health, and is improving. She will soon be herself again. She has a sister, Miss Alma J. Carter who is also a good teacher. It would take me several hours to tell you about all the people I met. Rev. E. E. Ricks rode down as far as Lynchburg with me. He was on his way to his new charge, Roanoke, Va., and then there was Rev. W. H. Jernagin, who met me at the stable as I passed through Washington. I shall save the rest for another time.

Salem Athletic Club Wins Big Victory.
The Salem Crescent Athletic club won a signal victory over the Pastime Athletic club in a match relay on Monday, June 21, at the annual summer games of the "athletic nursery" at Glencoe Oval, One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street and Second avenue, New York. The colored boys were returned victors by fifteen yards in an eight lap relay. Verwayen, first man to run for the Salem Crescent combination, opened up a lead of about five yards on Kloer, but on the second relay the Salem lead was increased to more than thirty yards, Oscar Hawkins opposing C. J. Shay, who filled in for Matt Sika. Miles McHugh, running against Arthur Gorham, made up a good part of the ground, but Herman Foster was a match for Dan Shea of the Pastimes and retained the big advantage handed him by Gorham. The victors journeyed the eight laps in the good time of 2 minutes 30.3-5 seconds.
The sixteenth annual meeting of the National Medical association will be held in Chicago from Aug. 24 to 26 inclusive. The local committee of arrangements, headed by Dr. U. G. Dailley, is making extensive preparations for entertaining the members of the association. The usual number of papers, embracing every phase of medicine, surgery, dentistry and pharmacy, will be given a prominent place on the program, as in former years, but the outstanding feature of this convention will be the large number of clinics which will be held during the session.
Chicago has unusual facilities for clinical demonstrations of all kinds, and the local committee has been alive to the opportunities that may be seized for the benefit of visiting doctors. The larger portion of the surgical clinics will be held at Cook County hospital, which has been recently completed. Other's will be held at the St. Luke's hospital and Provident hospital. Arrangements have also been made for special clinics covering diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat, children's diseases and women's diseases.
Men who are located in the more remote sections of the country will witness here operations and demonstrations that they have seldom if ever been permitted to witness before, and the local committee and the officers of the association are particularly anxious that the rural general practitioner shall avail himself of the opportunity to be present at Chicago for these wonderful demonstrations of medical, surgical and dental research and progress.
The headquarters of the local committee will be in the Y. M. C. A. building, and some of the sessions will be held there. There will, as usual, be public meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and the session will close on Thursday evening, Aug. 26, with a banquet. Some of the more prominent men connected with the association will perform many difficult and rare operations, and the association as a whole will be invited to clinics conducted by Murphy, Schraeder and Ochsner.
These men stand at the forefront of surgical progress, and to be able to witness operations performed by them and to observe the technique that they have perfected will be of invaluable assistance to every one who visits these clinics. Special rates will prevail on all the roads entering Chicago. Many from all sections of the country have already indicated their intention of being present. Those who are unacquainted with the city and expect to be there should communicate with the chairman of the local committee, Dr. U. G. Dailley, 5 East Thirty-sixth place, Chicago.
PROMOTER OF BUSINESS.
Charles H. Moore Begins Work of Visiting and Organizing Leagues.
On Wednesday, June 16, Professor Charles H. Moore, formerly organizer of the National Negro Business league, began an itinerary through Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, in the interest of the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business league, to be held in Boston, Aug. 18, 19 and 20, inclusive.
It is Professor Moore's purpose to meet local Negro business leagues in all of the important cities in the states here mentioned and otherwise to devote himself to propaganda work in the interest of the league until the August meeting.
It is earnestly hoped that he may have the co-operation of the officers and members of local leagues in the states to be visited by him. Leagues desiring visits from Professor Moore are asked to communicate at once with Dr. Booker T. Washington, president, or Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.
Howard Smith Performs Noble Deed.
Howard Smith of Camden, N. J., at the risk of his own life, recently dived overboard and saved the life of a horse by releasing the animal from a wagon to which it was attached. Smith is employed by Charles L. Adkins, a contracting teamster of 434 Division street, Camden. He went to the Spruce street wharf with a dump cart, which was backed to the water's edge, and before he could block the wheel of the vehicle it went overboard, taking the horse with it. Losing no time, Smith dived overboard and finally released the traces, and horse and master arose to the surface. Smith managed to climb back on the wharf, while the horse foundered about on the surface of the water, and after some difficulty the animal was landed on the wharf. Thus again a member of our race in New Jersey performs a noble deed.
Needs of the Wilberforce University.
As an institution of higher learning for our people Wilberforce university, in Ohio, is living up to the ideals of its founders and supporters. The progress of the school under the leadership of Dr. William S. Scarborough the past few years has been wonderful. The institution is in need of an endowment of at least $300,000. This amount is not large in comparison to the amount 62 endowment held by some of the great institutions of learning in our country. No doubt the trustees, with the president, will bend their energies in this direction during the vacation period this year.

JOHNSON HEADS BAPTIST HOST
MEETING WELD IN NEW YORK
Mount Olivet's Minister and Congregation Give Great Missionary Body a Royal Time at Its Forty-first Annual Gathering—Big Sum Raised For Education and Missions.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
New York.—The New England Baptist missionary convention has passed another milestone in its long and eventful history. This convention was organized with six churches in the Congdon Street Baptist church, Providence, B. I. The forty-first annual meeting of this flourishing religious body was held in this city at the Mount Olivet Baptist church from Tuesday, June 15, to Monday, June 21, inclusive. The territory of the convention extends from Washington to Maine and includes in its membership the churches, Sunday schools, women's auxiliaries and young people's unions of the denomination, with an aggregate membership of 284,516.
The first two days and a half were devoted to the Sunday school and young people's convention and the women's auxiliary convention to the main body. The period devoted to the church convention proper covered five
W. BISHOP JOHNSON, LL. D.
days. The session opened on Thursday afternoon, June 17, with the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. of Washington presiding. After the devotional exercises and the appointment of the committee on enrollment of delegates and the committee on nomination of officers for the ensuing year Dr. Johnson delivered his annual address, in which he reviewed the work of the year and made several very practical recommendations for the future welfare of the convention.
Following President Johnson's annual message addresses of welcome were delivered by Borough President Marcus M. Marks, on behalf of the city, for the interdenominational ministers' conference; the Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, minister of the St. Mark's M. E. church, for the Baptist ministers' conference; the Rev. J. Ernest Robinson, minister of the First Baptist church at Sheepshead Bay, N. Y., and on behalf of the Mount Olive Baptist church Dr. David C. Moon, secretary of the board of trustees. The response to the addresses of welcome was made by the Rev. William A. Taylor, D. D., of Washington.
Among the presidents of schools within the territory of the convention who made brief addresses noting the progress made the past year were Dr. George Rike Hovey of the Virginia Union university; R. C. Wood, A. M. of the Virginia seminary and college; the Rev. Dr. John C. Love, promoter of the proposed Northern Baptist college; Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs of the National Training School For Women and Girls; Dr. W. A. Credit of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial school and others.
The following named ministers were appointed to preach special sermons: Annual sermon, the Rev. W. T. Watkins, D. D.; doctrinal sermon, the Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown; missionary sermon, the Rev. Timothy White. The work of foreign missions was ably represented by the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the National Baptist foreign board, with headquarters at 624 South Eighteenth street, Philadelphia. The report of the board of managers read by the corresponding secretary, Dr. W. A. Harrod, showed that the work of the convention was well organized and that the various standing committees were active.
The reports of the committees of state conventions, corresponding bodies, home missions, education, publication, church edifice, widows' fund and ministers' relief fund were also read. Funds for all these objects are provided for by the convention under the management of the various boards. A new committee known as the steering committee also made its report. The
success of the convention under the enlarged plan has been very encouraging. The sessions were largely attended morning, afternoon and evening by both delegates and visitors.
That the New England Baptist missionary convention is rapidly meeting the needs of the churches in its territory was made evident by the growth in membership, finance and church property shown by figures in the president's annual address. The opinion prevails that the organization in the future will not only receive reports from the individual churches within its bounds, but will become the receiving body to which state conventions and other large bodies in the northern and New England states will report their work. In fact, the New England convention will be the clearing house for northern Baptists, including the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
With the idea of the northern Baptist university in view, having the endorsement of most of the ministers and leading laymen of the churches, the convention has created a new field for its educational interests. The Rev. John C. Love of Montclair, N. J., is chairman of the convention's education board and as such has done a commendable work. A fund for the proposed institution is being raised and a board of trustees elected. Another advance step taken at the New York meeting was the election of a layman to the board of managers of the convention and one on the trustee board for the proposed northern Baptist university. The sessions were harmonious, and a spirit of co-operation pervaded the action of the delegates. The receipts were over $2,100, being the largest amount raised at any annual meeting in the history of the convention. The Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes, minister of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, and its congregation deserve great credit for the splendid business way in which they provided for the delegates and visitors.
The convention closed in a blaze of glory on Monday night, June 21, with a fine literary program and reception to the delegates and visitors provided by the entertaining church. The Rev. W. B. Reed, minister at the Mount Olivet church, Newport, R. L. presided. The election of officers resulted as follows:
President, Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D., Washington; vice president, Rev. W. P. Hayes, D. D., New York; corresponding secretary, Rev. W. A. Harred, Ph. D., Hartford, Conn.; recording secretary, Rev. T. J. King, D. D., New York; treasurer, Rev. R. D. Wynn, D. D., Jersey City, N. J.
The convention will hold its next baptist church, North Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. J. C. Jackson minister, on Thursday before the third Sunday in June, 1916.
INFLUENCE OF J. C. EDWARDS.
Arranges Contest For Free Trip to the Virginia Exposition.
The Atlantic City Review, one of the largest and most influential daily papers of Atlantic City, N. J., through the earnest efforts of J. C. Edwards, the Atlantic City correspondent of the National Negro Press association, started a contest, giving three free trips to the Richmond exposition, with all expenses paid, to the minister, schoolteacher and any nonprofessional prominent person polling the highest number of votes in their respective classes by July 5.
The Rev. Mr. Martin of the Asbury church, 3713 Arctic avenue, Atlantic City; the Rev. Mr. Clark of the Presbyterian church, the Rev. Mr. Hebron of the Mount Nebo Baptist church, Miss Lea Carey and Miss Alice Fowler, public schoolteachers of the Indiana school; Miss Mae Hall of the New Jersey Avenue school, Mrs. Alberta Douglass of the Douglass hotel, and Mr. Harry Jackson, president of the Armstrong Athletic and Social club of Atlantic City, were the leading contestants up to June 26.
New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey are listed as one exhibit and will hold as their day at the exposition July 14, at which time they will have a military and fraternal parade and an athletic high school meet and prize drill.
The Atlantic City exhibit at the Richmond exposition will be a space of 100 feet arranged to represent the famous boardwalk during the month of August. The chairman of the local commissioners personally appeared before the city commissioners of the resort while in session, and they donated for the use of this feature the city's flags, bunting and decorations, also $100 for traveling expenses, etc.
A forty foot boardwalk, with railing and electric lights is being arranged, and among the places on the gray wood-en way will be the public school exhibit, a post card stand, salt water taffy stand, soft drink and ornamental stand. Absecon lighthouse. Walls' bathhouses, hotel and boarding house information bureau, church and fraternal information bureau, a well known hair dressing establishment and a cafe and auditorium.
The exhibits and private collections will be placed in one large store in the center of the walk, and Mrs. Henry Marshall will be in charge.
Conference of Land Grant Colleges. Principals of schools coming under the head of the land grant colleges are preparing to hold a conference in Cincinnati in July. Professor Byrd Prillerman has been chairman of the meetings for several years and as such is in possession of much valuable information concerning the object and aim of the land grant system of aiding our educational institutions connected with this movement

"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 Jones, rest 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 overwork—it matters not how long standing—he not discouraged because you have consulted other physicians and received no benefit.
