The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LEDGER VOL. XXIV. NO. 11 G.O.P. LOSES BY SMALL MARGIN Baltimore Majority tor Harrington, Gave Democrats Victory. Soper and Broening It is all over now,even the shouting, and Democratic politicians are now contemplating the good things that they will enjoy during the next four years. The defeat of Ovington E.Weller Republican candidate for Governor, came as a surprise as many thought that he would carry Baltimore City. The success of Harrington in the city is regarded by many as due to inefficient management on the part of the Republicans. Weller made a fine run in the counties, especially in his home county—Baltimore. Had he been elected Maryland's delegation to the next Republican National Convention would in all probability been committed to the presidential candidacy of Senator Welks. John S. Kelly can afford to snap his fingers at Mayor Preston, Daniel J. Loden, "Bob" Padgett and others who have been opposing him as a leader. The splendid run that Harrington made in Baltimore was largely due to the good work done by the Kelly forces, and "The" certainly will see that his friends are rewarded with the plums. William Curran, the defeated candidate for State's Attorney, Robert J. Biggs, who opposed Chief Judge Morris A. Soper, and several of Kelly's friends who were deposed from jobs by Mayor Preston are among those mentioned for recognition under Harrington. The Smith-Harrington forces are already planning to strengthen their hold on the Democratic machine. Congressman David J. Lewis, will very likely be brought out to oppose United States Senator Blair Lee, whose term is drawing to a close. Lee is a thorn in the side of Senator Smith and the latter may be counted upon to oppose any ambition of Lee. REPUBLICANS UNITED One result of the election shows that the Republicans are united as they have not been in years. All classes worked together. There was some bitterness, however, as indicated by the big slashing that "Jack" Hanson got from white Republicans. Some of the Warburton men were also resentful over what they believed to have been slights on the part of Weller's managers. Though colored voters were incensed at the fact that Weller and his running mates did not address any colored meetings' and about the "jimcrowning" of colored people at the rally at the Lyric last Saturday night, Mr. Weller received fine support from the race. BROENING GRATEFUL "I feel grateful to the people of Baltimore for reelecting me as State's Attorney by such a good majority." Willham F. Broening told a representative of the Afro-American. Ledger Thursday morning "I have striven to do my whole duty with fairness to all and the same policy will be continued by me during the next four years. I am grateful to Editor Murphy and the Afro-American Ledger for the able, impartial and convincing way in which my candidacy was presented to the people. I wish to thank the thousands of readers of the Afro-American Ledger for their hearty support." Assistant State's Attorney Harry W. Nice who managed Mr. Broening's campaign was elated over the victory of his chief. "We feel grateful to all", he said, "for their hearty support, and thank the Afro-American Ledger for its favorable presentation of Mr. Broening. I did not know that the Afro-American Ledger wielded such a potent influence among its readers until this campaign." ALGIRE SLASHED Dr. Harry C. Aligre, Republican candidate for Register of Wills, was one of the worst defeated candidates in years. The count showed that Howard Jackson, his Democratic opponent had won by over 14,00 plurality. The only citywide candidate on the Republican ticket who was beaten by larger plurality than Jackson's was "Jack" Hanson, who suffered defeat at the hands of Sam Pattison, who has been clerk of the Criminal Court for the past twelve years. Hanson was beat by white Republican votes. In the Seventeenth ward he ran more than 500 behind the other Republican candidates. He was unmercifully cut in the Fourteenth and other wards. In the Seventh precinct of the Fourteenth ward, where there are 224 colored registered and 168 whites, Weller won by a plurality of a little more than 100. Jackson won the precinct by one vote. In South, East and West Baltimore colored voters slashed by hundreds the coroner in the Guth case. COLORED CITIZENS REGISTER IN CAROLINA Charleston, S. C., November 5. For the first time in years a number of colored men went to the polling booths and registered Monday. They were qualifying for the municipal election, which takes place on December 14. The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court upsetting the "grandfather clause" made the men realize that their denial of the right to vote was at an end. The Charleston News and Courtier, commenting on the fact of colored men registering, says "it ought to be more or less illuminating to those people who are under the mistaken idea that the Negro has permanently laid aside his political ambitions. "He hopes the solidarity of the whites will be terminated some day, with the possibility that in every election he might hold the balance of power." FLEMING TO CITY COUNCIL Cleveland, O., November 4. Thomas W. Fleming, a colored attorney, was elected a member of the City Council from the Eleventh ward on a non-partisan ticket Tuesday. He served in that body several years ago. There were five other candidates in the race. COOPER RE-ELECTED Philadelphia,Nov.4—Richard A. Cooper,one of the best known colored men in the city,was reelected a member of the Common Council Tuesday. TO AWARO SPINGARN MEDAL New York,Nov. 5—The Spingarn medal committee will meet h're next Thursday to decide upon the winner for this year. There are said to be about fifty names from which the committee will select the one whose achievements have been beyond the ordinary. The medal was awarded for the first time last year, Dr. E. E. Just, of Howard University being given it for his achievements in biology. The Spingarn medal is worth $100 and is given by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn.

POWELL URGES REFORM IN CHURCH Thousands Hear Great Pulpit Orator Pour Hot Shot Into Evil Doers, Inactive Christians and Grafting Preachers Nearly six thousand persons attended the Laymen's Evangelistic Campaign at Bethel Church which came to an end Friday night, and heard Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church, New York, deliver what is regarded as the most powerful sermons ever heard in this city. The meetings were held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association, and began Sunday afternoon, when Bishop John Hurst made an appeal for a closer union between the ministry and the laymen. Bishop Hurst declared that in many instances the ministry was too "stiff" and as a result, the ends accomplished were not commesurate with the endeavors put forth. He urged that the ministry and Christians alike be like St. Paul, "all things to all men, so that by all means, some may be saved." Dr. Powell who is regarded as one of the best pulpit orators in the country, began his series of sermons on Sunday night before an audience of over a thousand people. Taking for his subject "An Easy Road to Hell"he strongly criticized the indifference of Christians generally and said that many of them who were expecting to go to heaven on "flowery beds of ease" under the impression that "salvation was free" were really taking the "easy way to Hell." Fishing in Deep Water" was the subject of Dr Powell's sermon on Monday night. Declaring that the ministers of this city were fishing in the "shallow water of indifference, narrowness, selfishness and greedy gain" he urged them to launch out into the deep water of love, sacrifice and Christian piety so that instead of preaching to empty benches, every church in the city would be crowded because of their efforts. He declared that the ministry were in a large measure responsible for the present condition of the church and urged that the church purge itself of those who were retarding the cause of Christianity. Dancers, card players and whiskey drinkers came in for their knocks on Wednesday night, when they were urged to "watch their steps." Dr. Powell said too many of this class were allowed to hold membership in the church, while no effort was being made to reform them. Thursday afternoon, Dr. Powell spoke to women, there being nearly a thousand present. He said in part: "Our churches and religious journals are discussing and looking for a world-wide revival. If we are to have this revival, it will not be started by the Laymen's Missionary Movement, nor the Men and Religion Forward Movement, nor by the Church with its ponderous religious machinery, but by the Christian home. If this family altar is ever to be be-erected, if God is to be given a place in our homes if a revival is to be started that will sweep the American continent and the world, it must be done by the Christian mothers at the breakfast table. "The crying need of America is not more schools or more money, or more churches, or more eloque it preachers, but more mothers who will give God a place in the home." At night over five hundred men listened to Dr. Powell as he pictured the "awful whirlwind" that was being reaped by those who were sowing to the wind of vile and loose living, improper regard for PRICE THREE CENTS RREAD —J.

On Friday night the closing sermon was taken from the subject: "Ezekiel in the Valley of Dry Bones." The music during the week was under the direction of Mr. Isaac Reddie. The meeting is regarded as a prelude to an effort which will be started by the Y.M.C.A. to secure $2,000 in sixteen days in order that work may begin on the new $100,000 building, which will be started as soon as the colored people of the city have raised $15,000. The amount needed to complete this fund is a little over two thousand dollars. MISS LUCY SLOWE RESIGNS Miss Lucy D. Slowe has resigned as a teacher in the Colored High School, to accept a similar position in the Colored High School, Washington. Her salary in the new position is said to be twice that she received here. Miss Slowe is an alumnus of the High School and Howard University.

CELEBRATE 25TH ANNIVERSARY Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst Receive Many Tokens On Celebration of Their 25th Marriage Anniversary Bishop and Mrs. John Hurst celebrated the 25th anniversary of their marriage last Friday night.

Hurst, were Mrs. Laura Thompson, the mother of Mrs. Hurst; Miss Hattie Thompson, Mrs. M. L. Gaines and Mrs. Laura Wilson. Not only did hundreds wish Bishop and Mrs. Hurst that they be spared to celebrate their fiftieth anniversary, but their home was thronged Sunday with friends from this city and Washington. Bishop and Mrs. Hurst were married by Bishop B. F. Lee. The late Hon. Hannibal Price, then Haitian Minister to the United States, performed the civil ceremony.

NOTES The Big Evangelistic Campaign opened last Sunday at Bethel with more than five hundred people present to greet Bishop Hurst, who preached one of the most practical sermons of his life. The Bishop left, the pulpit and said that he wanted to put off style, formality, and in a straightforward fashion line up for a great task the saving of men. Dr. Powell reached the city at 7.30 p. m. on the Congressional Limited and at once started for Bethel. The services commenced at 8 p. m. The song service was conducted by Mr. G. Sumner, Whyte and the music was led by Mr. Isaac C. Reddie. Nine hundred and fifty people were present Sunday evening to greet Dr. Powell and hear his first message "An Easy Way to Hell." For 45 minutes, Dr. Powell held the audience under his forceful argument and swayed them at will with his great personality. The Doctor exclaimed: "Remain inactive, do nothing, and you will go to Hell." Time and space will not allow us to tell all of the many good things that the Doctor said. Just ask some one who heard him. "Watch your step" the most thrilling theme delivered during the week, was heard by more than one thousand people on Wednesday night. Dr. Powell was at his best and the "OLD MASTER" one of the greatest preachers on the American platform, outlined the modern fads and predicted the future of American youth that are worshipping at the altar of modernisms. Over five hundred women heard Dr. Powell Thursday afternoon on "The Moulding Infurence of Women," while an equal number of men heard him at night on "An Awful Whirlwind." The Doctor preached his fast-well son on Friday night to a packed house, and he used as his subject "The Valley of Dry Bones." This is the first united meeting of the two associations during the administration of Secretray Booker and every member and friend of both institutions are urged to be BOYHOOD FRIENDS MEET. Rev. J. P. Watson and Thomas Gannon Wore Comrades In War. The Rev. J. Preston Watson of Pueblo, Colo., told recently a very interesting story of his early boyhood as a slave and of how he formed the acquaintance of the now venerable Thomas Gannon of Monte Vista, Colo. Both men are now quite aged, the former a retired Methodist minister, the latter a retired soldier. As the story runs, it was Mr. Gannon, then a first lieutenant in the Ninth Missouri cavalry and later promoted to captain, fifty-four years ago, who formed a liking for Watson, who was a boy fugitive, and took him in. Throughout the war, until the close four years later, Watson returned with Gannon. Then they separated, with the understanding that Watson was to go to Gannon's home and under his instruction learn the tinner's trade. But unfavorable circumstances intervened. Although in the years each frequently tried to find a trace of the other, their efforts proved in vain until, in 1903, Mr. Watson, then a veteran pastor who had done nearly forty years' service for the African Methodist church, learned that Captain. Gannon was living near Leadville. This being in the district which Watson toured as presiding elder, he renewed his search and finally found Captain Gannon, a feeble, gray haired man, at that time just recovering from an operation. "Of course neither of us knew the other," remarked the Rev. Mr. Watson in telling of the meeting. "When I knew Gannon' in warfires he was a square shouldered young man with a long black mustache and bushy black hair. Half a century later I found him an old man, little resembling his former self. But the old friendship still was there. He seemed mighty glad to see me, and for two hours we talked over old times. Then later he came to my house and we sat up all night long talking old times." Reminiscently in his letter received but recently Mr. Gannon said: "Again I recall an incident—the colored boy who wandered into camp, a fugitive from slavery, meek, humble, seeking protection. My boys in blue treated him with kindness and sympathy, and I soon realized his faithful services; honest, truthful and diligent, employing his leisure moments in the efforts to learn to read that he might be helpful to his fellow freedmen. Now, how well he has succeeded—from a humble servant to a devoted servant of the Lord and zealous in the uplift of his people." present. "Together we stand, divided we fall." The principal speakers will be Rev. Wm. Holt and a visitor whose flame we shall not mention at this time. The music will be led by Mr. Isaac Reddie, the singing evangelist, who led the singing at Bethel during the week. WASHINGTON CONCERT ORCHESTRA DEC. 3, 8 P.M. The management of the Y. M. C. A., in its efforts to meet the demands of the hour and the conditions of the present work will present to the citizens of Baltimore The Washington Concert Orchestra and Soloist. This is a return engagement and with five additional men added, making forty-five musicians, no doubt is held as to the successful program. The orchestra will appear at Albaugh's Theatre, December 8th, at 8 p. m., under the personal direction of Prof. Harry A. Williams. LABIES AUXILIARY_TO Y- M. C. A. Plans are now on foot to organize a ladies' auxiliary of the Druid Hill Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. A like group is connected with all big associations, both white and colored, throughout the world.

The organization of 100 men will make the test by making a house to house visit in order that Baltimore remain in the history of the Association world. There is no excuse.

Director of Agriculture at Noted School Plans Interesting Program. Hampton, Va.-Charles K. Graham, director of the Hampton (Va.) institute's agricultural department, and his assistants are perfecting plans for the annual farmers' conference and exhibit which will be held at Hampton from Nov. 9 to 11. In the premium list over 300 classes of entries for cash and live stock prizes are listed. The underlying idea of the exhibit is to assemble the best products of the farm, the home and the school and thus give many men, women and children, especially those who are ambitions, the opportunity of discovering for themselves the possibility of reaching higher standards in their own work. Dr. R. R. Clark, veterinarian at Hampton institute, who is in charge of exhibits, is busy furnishing information to hundreds of people who wish to show what they can do to improve their own lot in the rural districts and in the urban centers. "Dawn of Plenty," which is a $40,000 motion picture story, will show the farmers and their families the possibilities of prosperous living in the country provided they will diversify their crops and use better farm implements. "Dawn of Plenty" is a telling argument for mixing brains with ordinary farm tasks. Men and women who have succeeded in their chosen lines of work will tell in detail in "experience meetings" just how they had to struggle and plan to "make good" in the face of unfavorable economic and social conditions. Sons of Virginia to Hold Recognition. The Society of the Sons of Virginia is Brooklyn is preparing for its eighteenth annual reception to be held at Summer hall on Thursday evening, Nov. 18. The organization is steadily increasing in membership and is serving its members in a most helpful way. Dr. Clarence H. Richardson, a graduate of Harvard Medical school and John A. Jacobs, one of Brooklyn's best known men, joined the society in its October meeting. Dr. Owen M. Waller, dean of the medical profession in Brooklyn among our people, is also a member of the society. Dr. C. T. Walker to Edit Woolly Paper. The Georgia Baptist, published at Augusta, Ga., for thirty years by the late William J. White, is soon to be revived with Dr. C. T. Walker as its editor. ```markdown ``` THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER POTENT AGENCY FOR ADVANCEMENT Work of Organization Society Covers Wide Field. GOOD RESULTS OBTAINED. List of Speakers For Third Annual Meeting of Vigorous Virginia Society Includes Prominent Educators and State Official—Leaders In Both Races Recognize Value of Co-operation. Petersburg, Va.—The Negro Organization society of Virginia now works through at least 268 existing organizations, which may be classified as follows: 107 religious bodies, 112 school improvement leagues and teachers' associations, 42 fraternal orders, 5 farmers' conferences, 1 emancipation association and 1 bank. It influences more or less directly, at least 50 per cent of the colored people in Virginia—that is, nearly 350,000. The third annual meeting of the society is being held in this city this week, from Wednesday, Nov. 3 to Fri- 1 JOHN M. GANDY. day evening, inclusive. Among the speakers are Major R. I. R. Moton, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute and president of the organization society since its founding; Dr. Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Rev. Dr. L. L. Downing of Roanoke, Ardgehon J. S. Russell, principal of St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va.; Dr. S. G. Atkins, Winston-Salem, N. C.; W. T. D. Williams, field agent of the Jeannes and Slater boards; T. C. Erwin of Petersburg, field agent of the Negro Organization society; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker of Richmond; John B. Pierce of Hampton, who is in charge of farm demonstration work in Virginia; Rev. A. A. Graham of Phloeus, Va., who is chairman of the society's executive committee; Thomas C. Walker of Gloucester Court House; Mrs. Harris Barrett of Hampton and President John M. Gandy of the Petersburg Normal school here, who is also the society's executive secretary. A number of prominent state and city officials are on the program for addresses, including Mayor Robert Cabanis of Petersburg, Don. R. C. Stearns, Richmond, state superintendent of public instruction; Professor J. II. Binford, Virginia department of education and formerly executive secretary of the Virginia Co-operative Education association; Miss Agnes D. Randolph, executive secretary of the Virginia Anti-tuberculosis association; Dr. Emion G. Williams, Richmond, state commissioner of health; Dr. J. T. Mastin, Richmond, secretary of state board of charities and correction; T. O. Sandy, Burkville, in charge of demonstration work among white people, and G. W. Koiner, Richmond, state commissioner of agriculture. Governor Henry C. Stuart and former Governor William H. Mann are also expected to attend the meeting and deliver inspiring addresses. T. C. Erwin of the State Normal school, Petersburg, is in charge of the details of the meeting. He has secured reduced rates on all railroads running into Petersburg and has instructed the delegates to secure certificates when buying their tickets for return trip home. Two results, as President Moton points out, have already been secured—the cooperation of colored people regardless of denominational or fraternal affiliations, also the sympathetic and hearty co-operation of the best white people with the best colored leaders. The society began its actual work Aug. 1, 1912, with a vigorous campaign for school improvement and for disease prevention. This campaign has brought good results. Many new school buildings with proper sanitary appointments have been erected, and a sentiment for better school conditions has been created. During the past school year fourteen new school improvement leagues were organized by the field agent, nine that were languishing were revived. The three annual cleanup movements have induced a total of more than 300,000 of our people to make their homes and surrounding premises sanitary. As an aid in this movement the state health department published our "Health Hand-Book For Colored People" and during the three campaigns 90,000 copies were distributed. Educational and health campaigns have been made through many portions of the state by the society's agents. For the Protection of Your Eyes Consult Us The Closest Attention to Details A pair of Glasses might be of the highest quality mechanically—the lenses of the best glass accurately ground, the mounting of the most improved design; yet if some one detail was not just right those Glasses might be worse than useless to you. First we examine you eyes thoroughly. After determining the formula required we decide on the best size and shape of lens. The mounting is selected with the same attention to your individual need. Then the Lenses are ground in our own shop, and after they are ground we examine them carefully to see if each lens is absolutely correct. Our special attention to these points is one of the many reasons our work is so satisfactory. Good Glasses As Low As $1.00 The Cut Rate Optical Co.

TAKING STOCK Once a year every good business man "takes stock" adds and subtracts to see just where he is "at." Just now it seems to us that it would be a good time for the leaders of the Republican party to take stock and see just where it is, 'at.' We have had an election and came very close to winning, without anything else but the standing of the two candidates to talk about in the campaign. Of course the parties behind the candidates had something to do with the final results, and in this there seemed very little to choose, and so when the votes were cast and counted it was discovered that the voter had so little to guide him that it seemed to be almost a toss up between the two. The Republican party to a very large extent is a disorganized organization. Quite a large part of the members of that party, have absolutely no voice at all in the councils of the party, and with the exception of a few so-called leaders, there is no representation worth speaking about. There was a time when representative men sat in the councils of the party and were accorded proper courtesy. Frequently others were called in to give their views on matters of moment. Of late however, this duty has been placed upon the shoulders of a few self-appointed leaders, who readily concide with all said and done without any protest whatever. It is nearly time that the rank and file of the party had lifted up the head of rebellion against the party machinery by which they are lead to the polls like so many sheep to the slaughter. If the Republican party of the future expects to hold on to its colored contingent, the best thing it can do is to reorganize with the elimination of a considerable amount of the present contingent and add new blood. By so doing they will make way for future conquests with an undivided front. DOING OUR DUTY The Afro-American Ledger takes no special delight in using its columns against any individual; we would much prefer to have only good to say of all. But when we have a specific duty to perform we feel that it should be done in the most effective way. While it is not just the spirit of turning the other cheek, few of any people but will resent at every opportunity acts performed against them. We have born too long with silence the insults heaped upon us and the time has now come for us to stand up like men. Just why the party to which we have so long and faithfully allied ourselves should put up for public office, men who deliberately insult the race or use their offices to degrade us, is a mystery, and the sooner we serve notice upon them that any and all such men will meet disaster at the polls the sooner they will recognize the necessity of consulting us when the personnel of the ticket is considered. It is our earnest wish that when the tables of the late contest have been studied by those in power in Republican circles, the lesson administered to one of those whom they saw fit to place upon the ticket and who was objectionable to a large number of colored Republicans, will not be without its lesson. What has been done in this instance may be done again and again until the lesson is well learned. DuBOIS VS. MILLER Articles by Dean Kelly Miller and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois in the current "Crisis" are interesting because they deal with a live subject that of "Woman's Suffrage" the articles taking opposite sides of the question; interesting as well because they are characteristic of the men who wrote them. Dean Miller shows the fallacy of identifying the arguments for Negro suffrage and woman's suffrage in his usual logical way and assembling the oft given arguments, against the granting of the franchise, concludes that what God has made unlike, man strives in vain to make alike. To this Dr. DuBois quite as convincingly, and with more rhetorical force, rejoices that what the Dean has said is all pure Bosh, and in his impassioned way, gives us a picture of woman in bondage and in chains, lifting her fetters and asking a rightful freedom. Despite the recent reverses in the Eastern states, Dean Miller believes that Woman's Suffrage will eventually be given a trial, but the next generation shall live to see it discredited if not disavowed altogether. Perhaps the Dean is right and his vision is broader than that of the Doctor. This much is clear, however, as long as our government is a republic and derives its just authority from the consent of the governed, women must be regarded as governed and th before due a share in that government—a right to vote. THE SCHOOL SITUATION With the resignation of Miss Luce Slowe, teacher of English in the Baltimore High School, and secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., the system loses an excellent instructor and the community an active worker. It is with genuine regret that her friends see her depart to a similar position in the Armstrong Technical School of Washington. Following so close upon the resignation of Misses Cook and Williamson, of the Training School to accept positions at Wilberforce University, Miss Slowe's leaving is causing no little stir, and the question is seasonable as to when shall it end? Other cities appear to be reaching out to grasp the best teachers that Baltimore has produced in her secondary schools, and seem only to wait until they have gained one or two years experience before making them inducements. Miss Heien Irvin and Mr. George D. Jenifer, of Washington Normal School. Miss Josie Faucett, of Washington M Street High School; Mr. J. R. Paul Brook, principal of a Philadelphia public school; Professors G. D. Houston and Thomas W Turner, of Howard University and others, for reasons that may or may not have been made public; left Baltimore for better fields. If Baltimore did not realize a loss then, it must now as it views these men, who were valued so lightly, as the heads of departments in other schools, and bringing to other communities the high service that might have been rendered here. To Superintendent Koch, just entering upon his duties the affair does not seem as serious as we have pictured it. "Good teachers" says Mr. Koch "don't stay in your high school. We don't pay them enough. Energetic teachers soon leave for other places where there are other inducements. Of course I do not mean that there are no good teachers in the high school. scholars stay for the love of the work, but man with push generally go elsewhere" all of which stated briefly amounts to this—only those teachers remain in service who are willing to work at a sacrifice, or who cannot afford to leave Baltimore for another residence. The Superintendent of Schools has only stated part of the truth, however. It was not a question of salary alone that took Professor Houston to the Washington school THE AFRO-AMERICAN LEDGER system or that resulted in the leaving of Miss Slowe. In both cases, disagreements with the principal made a change not only advisable, but necessary. Word comes to us that one or two other teachers have followed Miss Slowe's example in taking the examination for Washington schools and expect to leave as soon as an appointment is offered them. Whatever the cause of the migration of our best teachers to Washington schools, Baltimore is the loser. The local schools are as much in need of superior instruction as the schools of our neighboring city. It is very near time when we should cease serving as a practice school and allow excellent teachers to give their best years elsewhere. We need a high school but we do not deserve it until we learn how to run the one we have to its highest efficiency. A PIONEER SPIRIT In the passing of W. E. Benson, principal and founder of the Kowaliga Industrial Institute at Kowaliga, Alabama, the South loses one of her foremost citizens and the Negro a most prominent educator. A decade ago Mr. Benson with two others constituted the college graduating class of Howard University. Fresh from his work in college, Mr. Benson started South and in the heart of the Black Belt, fifteen miles from the nearest railway carved out an industrial school, which takes care of nearly three hundred pupils, provides employment for twelve teachers and owns property value at $25,000. In view of the fact that Kowaliga Industrial School received no state aid or benefactions from other industrials yet showed an income of $8,735 in 1911-12, no other evidence is needed of the genius of a man who could so manage and build up an institution under the very shadow of Tuskegee. Besides the Industrial School, Principal Benson had succeeded in organizing the Dixie Industrial Company with a capital of $100, 000 for the purpose of conducting a cotton ginnery, oil mill, turpentine and naval stores plant. Before his death too, he had seen to it that a railroad connecting Kowaligan Alexander City, a stretch of fifteen miles, was well under way Two years ago, when fire destroyed the main building and dormitory at Kowaliga, friends in the North and South who had admired the pluck and determinations of Mr. Benson to make things go, came willingly to his aid, so that the work went on in new buildings but little interruption. "Culture for Service" was Mr. Berson's motto, and this with the pioneer spirit of the man brought him unintensively forward as a leader among Southern educators. EXCHANGE COMMENT "A youth who was rejected by his promised bride, will take the money he has intended to spend on a honeymoon and buy a team of mules with it," says the California Eagle. After having made the error of attempting to "drive" his bride, it is to be hoped that he will not be guilty of the effort to "lead his mules. Russel High School in Kentucky is making the experiment of student government known as the "Junior Republic of the Russell School." "Officers" says the Louisville News "include a mayor, four commissioners, police judge, prosecuting attorney seven policemen, and seven jurymen." Those who remember the regime of student government in our own local high school under Principal Brown, will recall that a similar organization was in operation and needed only a longer trial to show its worth. The usual cause of failure lies in the fact that the authorities of the student republic are not allowed to make mistakes. Some mistakes of judgment are bound to be made and should be allowed to be made—to the young mind mistakes and the resulting discomfit are the best teachers. "Under Southern Skies" is the title of the most recent photo-play calculated a-la-Dixon to arouse the Negro to protest or else suffer the painful spectacle of himself brutalized on the screen. "When you see this run! If you don't see it, run anyhow!" The "this" says the Indianapolis Ledger, was a white coffin containing a dummy which was placed with the above inscription near the residences of colored citizens in the town of Jennings, Oklahoma. The Ledger recalls a similar sign in the railroad station of Boley Oklahoma addressed to white people: "Do not let the sun go down on you here." All the residents of Boley A. Lincoln:— "Fred! See what the Republican Party has come to. Would you have beleived it?"

ORDINATION OF COLORED LUTHERAN The Afro-American has previously made mention of the warm feelings which exist between the colored and white Lutheran of this city. We again have occasion to notice another act of courtesy. Next Sunday night a colored student is to be ordained to the ministry. Since the colored church is too small for this occasion, St. Mark's congregation has offered their large edifice on Broadway for this purpose. Here the two congregations expect to meet together to witness this event which is equally interesting and important to them both, and to which all are invited.

MIDNIGHT IN NASHVILLE Nashville, Tenn.—This is indeed an age of unrest, and it is hard to tell just where the thing is going to end. With the allies and the Germans fighting in Europe and the Baptists fighting in America, it is all I can do to keep my feet in the straight path. Have you heard about the fight here in Nashville? Perhaps you have or perhaps you have not, but there is a Baptist fight on here, and it is hard to tell just where the end will come in, but believe me they will not keep up this fight for two years, for it cannot last that long. Just what the end will be in I am not going to predict, but when it is over I will say "I told you so." The Baptist state convention of Tennessee met here October 20. They came from all parts of the country, and it was a question in the mind of the people of the country, as to who should control Tennessee among the Baptists, and so they lined up on all sides and some in the middle, and the battle was fought out, and of course when the side headed by Rev. Mr. Taylor, and Dr. C. H. Clark were whipped in their game, just like in Chicago, they pulled out, organized, and then went into a court for an injunction. This happened on Friday, and Saturday they were in court with it, and Monday morning the judge who issued the injunction neared the case and then dissolved the injunction, hence you see just where the end was. I do not want to say what I have in my heart and mind to say, because I do not want to make my friends feel bad. I suppose Dr. R. H. Boyd, knows what he is doing, and he knows where his strength lies. His son, Rev. Henry Allen Boyd is a much learned man. He has had the benefit of the training and his father has had the experience, and it seems that wisdom and experience coupled up should be able to look ahead and s e beyond that little bump on the face called nose. I am not in position to advise the big men and would not attempt to, but I wished that Dr. Boyd could see just a little beyond where he is seeing now. They have given a fine pail of milk and I trust they will not kick it over. As I look down into the future, I see just what I see, and I may tell you about it in another letter, but it is only a question of time before you will see it. I am now headed for Petersburg, Va., to be there with my friend Major R. R. Moton who is at the head of the organization society which will meet in Petersburg, November 3, 4, 5. I want to see just what this organization is and what it is doing hence I made up my mind that I was going here if I had to walk and as I write to you today I am this distance on the road. I have spent a little time in St. Louis as you remember—in fact my last letter to you was from there, and I will have to go there for a few minutes before I can tell you all I have in my heart to tell you. When I took my pen in hand to write to you last week I was in St. Louis, Mo., as I remember, and then I left there, and went to Evansville, Ind., in company with Dr. R. C. Ransom. He was booked to lecture there and invited me to go along, and I thought it was a splendid opportunity to get to see something so I just got mys. If together and went along with him, Evansville, Ind., is just one of those places where our people are doing something I did not get to see many of them. I called to see J. T. Roberts, who is some pumpkin in the National Negro Business League, and he is a new and second hand furniture dealer, one of the best in the country. I met Dr. G. W. Buckner, who has just returned from Liberia. I note that Lawyer James L. Curtis has been appointed to succeed him. You never want to meet a finer man than Dr. Buckner. W. A Gaines is conducting an undertaking establishment. He is one of the finest in America. His wife in charge of the business because he was in Kentucky fixing up some fences. She is well trained. I did not get to go to their farm but they have a good one I am told. Prof. M. A. Davis, has charge of the manual training for the schools, and his wife has charge of the work among the girls. They are up to date in all they do. They were connected with the state school at Frankfort, Ky. I met J. M. Holt, the lawyer, J. H. Wilson, the doctor, then I visited the high school and met the teachers there. I would like to say more about it, but time will not permit. In Nashville, I met H. D. Slatter, the newspaper writer. Mr. Slatter had just laid to rest his wife, and now he is alone in the world. He has been fighting a life fight, and feels that he has the disease well under control. He was getting ready to take a trip to Ashville, N. C. Long may he live to do much good. With the proper care, I feel that he will be with the people some years to come. He is yet a young man. I shall have something to say about Mr. Napier in my next. WINCHESTER NOTES Winchester, Va., November 4—Revs. Queen, Augustus, Baker, Jefferson and Armstead visited Rev.

Butler of this city, the clever boy violinist, has been given a scholarship in the Musical Settlement school in New York city and will train under the celebrated David Mannes, who thus acknowledges his gratitude to the Negro race, he having been taught the violin by the famous Negro violinist of New York, Donglass, many years ago. It is a rare opportunity for young Butler who comes from a musical fam- A young violinist WILLIE H. BUTTER. lly, every member of which performs on one or more instruments. The youngster is a musical genius and even now performs on the violin with a skill and technique which some older performers might well covy. Young Butter's father, who is an instructor in the Musical School settlement, will have general supervision of his studies, while Professor Mannes will give him the benefit of his wide knowledge of the king of instruments and the instrument of kings. Master Bill will probably need a little strap oil also before he reaches the virtuoso stage in his promising career, and his "dad" has provided one for use when moral sinason fails. "I predict a brilliant future for my young friend Bill," says Bruce "Gill," and congratulate him on his good luck. Thomas J. Pillow's Work Appreciated. Thomas J.

POPULAR WITH THE MASSES Interesting Account of Services Rendered by a Native Tennesseean Who Has Risen to Prominence by Persistent Effort—State Vice President of National Baptist Convention. St. Louis, Mo.—There are many able men in the Baptist church who have contributed to the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the race and who are doing good work. Among those who are leading in this section of the country for the denomination may be counted the Rev. Dr. S. A. Mosely, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church in this city. He is an active worker also in the National Baptist convention. The Rev. Mr. Mosely was born in Franklin, Tenn., but while yet in his early youth his parents moved to Nashville, where the young boy got the benefit of a common school training. Finishing the grades, just then his parents moved to Helena, Ark., where his father purchased a farm. He desired to have his son finish school, so he sent him to Southland college, which is about nine miles from Helena. After five years of diligent study young Mosely graduated from what was then known as the "high normal" course. He felt that he should pursue a still higher course, and in the fall of ISSI he entered Roger Williams university. He took his place among the best students and himself became the leader of his class. After three years of good, solid work he graduated with honors and entered the educational field. During all of this time he had been active in the ministry and had made a splendid reputation as a preacher. Mr. Mosely felt that he owed something to the young people, the boys and girls then struggling for an education, so he returned to Arkansas and took up the work of teaching. He was called to the Baptist church at Newport, Ark., and at the same time was elected principal of the high school in the same town. He held this position for ten years and resigned to accept a position at the head of the school in Searcy, where he taught four years. As the work of the ministry became more exacting upon his time Dr. Mosely resigned school work in 1898 and went to Pine Bluff to take charge of the St. Paul Baptist church, where he remained sixteen years, rendering great service to the people of the community and the church, to which he added many new members. Dr. Mosely did not confine his work to Pine Bluff alone, but readily served his people anywhere in the state when needed. He was side by side with the promoters of the educational work in the state and assisted in organizing the Arkansas Baptist college, contributing largely to its support. Recognizing his worth to the work he was made secretary of the educational board and a trustee of the college, which positions he held up to 1014, when he resigned to begin work in St. Louis. He has entered heartily into the work in Missouri, and his leadership is widely felt. In the national Baptist convention he is a strong factor. For twenty years he was the vice president of the convention from Arkansas. He has presided during some of the important sessions of the convention. Especially did he play an important part during the recent session in Chicago. During the most heated discussion Dr. Mosely was in the chair and displayed great executive ability, as well as showing himself to be a parliamentarian of Speaker Reed's order. He was time and time again commended for his sensible ruling. Perhaps there is no man in the Baptist rank who is working harder to adjust matters than he. He has the confidence of the people. Several calls have been extended to him recently by churches of the denomination. Baptists Issue Appeal For Fair Play. Headed by the Rev. W. B. Reed, D. D., minister of the Mount Olivet Baptist church, Newport, R. I., the committee on state of country appointed by the New England Baptist missionary convention at its session held in New York in June has had its report printed, and copies of it are being sent to every member of congress, governors of states and the authorities in the various large municipalities throughout the country. The document voices the sentiment of this great body of Baptists and tells of the efforts which it is making for human justice and the political redemption of the race. The report is ready for distribution among the churches of the convention, and Dr. Reed will be glad to send copies on application from his office at 79 Thames street, Newport, R. I. Historical Pageant at Washington. "The Star of Ethiopia." a historical pageant, written by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois of New York city, was presented to large audiences at Washington for several nights during the month of October. The play was a complete success. FELIX B. PYE Sr. 102 E.

Howard's interference was almost faultless, and kept the Union men all the time on the ground. The game was called at three o'clock with the weather almost ideal save for a slight wind. Howard kicked off to Union who returned the ball 15 yards. Union being held on three downs was compelled to kick, the ball going out of hound. After numerous fumbles on both sides, Stratton gained 10 yards and placed the ball on Union's 20-yard line. Howard forward passed, Brice to Grinnage, for the first touchdown of the game. Howard kicked off to Union, was penalized 15 yards for offside playing and kicked again. The ball went down on Union's 30 yard line.

BROWN'S GROVE SHOOTING ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED A meeting of the Rod and Gun Club, the Patapsco Rod and Gun Club and the Original Rod and Gun Club was held at the residence of Captain William A. White, on Pine street, and organized the Brown's Grove Shooting Association. The object of the newly organized association will be to get all the trap shooters of the city and surrounding counties together. If the present plans of the association carry regular shoots will be held under its auspices by each of the individual clubs forming the association during the months of June, July and August, and a monster shoot by the united clubs in September. The present plans seem to have met with general approval by lovers of the sport all over the city and the concensus of opinion is that out of the new association will come a renewed vigor that will place the local shooters among the front rank in the country. Captain George Brown, Captain White and other prominent sportsmen have been evolving plans for the past few months in an effort to harmonize the various rival faction, and the new association, suggested by Captain White will certainly mean a new era for gunnre. The officers of the new association are: Dr. Richard G. Baker, president; Captain George Brown, secretary; Daniel H. Murphy, secretary. BRONSON WINS 4-MILE RUN J. Bronson, of the Salem-Crescent A.

A., with Alpha Physical Club, on Thanksgiving Day. The Incorporators, last year's basketball champions will open their season, Thanksgiving Day, in New York at the Manhattan Casino, against the Imperials, champions of New Jersey. The Incorporator's line-up will remain unchanged. The Imperials, it will be remembered, put up about the hardest game the Incorporator went thru last year, and will doubtless try hard to wipe out the sting of last year's defeat.

The doctors here told me I had Tuberculosis and would soon follow mother. Some, one advised my husband to send me to Dr. Campbell, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he could not be beat as a Lung and Nerve Specialist. In company with my sister we traveled all night by boat and visited the Doctor next day. He examined me thoroughly and explained how my lungs were effected. I took his LUNG BASE Treatment nearly 8 months, then several bottles of Strength and Life. My weight increased cough stopped, and now I feel a well woman, though it is almost three years since I took his Treatment. I feel that I have many more years to live, though I would have been dead long ago had I not been to him. I have sent several persons to him as I believe he can help them if they went in time."

WASHINGTON'S ANNUAL REPORT rent expenses, etc., this year is larger than it was a year ago. we should not overlook the fact that it has cost more per dollar to get this money than it did last year. I would especially call the attention of the trustees to the generous action of the general education board in increasing its appropriation this year from $10,000 to $20,000. "Notwithstanding the depressed financial condition of a large part of the country I feel it would be a great mistake for us in any degree to shacken our efforts to keep the school before the public or to get funds. I believe, as Dr. H. I. Frissell, principal of the Hampton institute, has often expressed it that a large part of the mission of both Hampton and Tuskegee is to keep the cause of Negro education before the country and that the benefits coming from such efforts of publicity do not confine themselves alone to Hampton and Tuskegee, but benefit all the schools in the south. With this end in view I very much hope that the trustees may see their way clear to encourage and help us as far as possible in holding a number of large public meetings during the coming year. "During the past year this part of the south, especially the cotton growing section, has been passing through one of the most trying and difficult experiences it has been called upon to pass through since the civil war. This condition has in the main been occasioned by the low price of cotton caused by the European war. Conditions have been serious among both white and black people. Because of these conditions this institution has been going out of its way to do an unusual amount of work and spending an unusual amount of money in trying to teach the people how to overcome these conditions by planting something to eat. The gratitude of the white and black people for our efforts in this regard has been most emphatic. "I have devoted considerable time during the year, both in Mason county and in other counties in the state of Alabama, and in various portions of the south, in urging the Negro people to diversity their crops and get away from present hard conditions always to be expected when a whole race or a section is more or less dependent upon one crop. "The United States congress recently passed a bill known as the Smith-Lever bill, by which a certain amount of money was given to each state in proportion to rural population, for the purpose of training the people in better farming and better living. We have entered into arrangement with the Alabama Polytechnic institute for white people, at Auburn, Ala., by which we are to become responsible for the expenditure of a portion of this money in helping the colored people in the rural districts of Alabama. "We have been during the year engaged under this plan for a number of months in conducting what are called 'movable schools'. I have every reason for knowing that these movable schools accomplish great good. County superintendents of education as well as officers of various counties have written in the most cordial terms with reference to the good results secured in their several counties. The newspapers have also devoted considerable space to them." The Hon. Seth Low of New York, chairman of the board of trustees, in a statement referring to Dr. Washington's report says: "The principal reveals Tuskegee institute in its twofold aspect of a school and an influence. Both as a school and as an influence it deserves the strong support of the people of the whole country. Students from every part of the Union, and even from foreign countries seek the privileges offered by the school, and the influence of Tuskegee is national and even worldwide. The following report shows how this influence is brought to bear throughout the south and in the north, and it is a matter of record that students from Tuskegee have been sent to different parts of Africa to help develop these industries which they have learned at Tuskegee. An institution such as this makes an appeal to every American. "Every one who values the herculean work of the principal of Tuskegee in developing this school and in making it a center of light and leading, whose influence is felt throughout our land and around the world, deem it a privilege to help to cover the large gap which still exists between the necessary outfalls of the year and the assured income. This gap at the present time is approximately $150,000 per annum. The influence and the labors of Dr. Washington have proved adequate year by year to bridge this wide gulf, but every year it becomes more and more important to relieve the principal of this burden. I hope that many who read this report will be moved to do something to this end." ```markdown ``` DR. WASHINGTON'S ANNUAL REPORT DR. WASHINGTON'S ANNUAL REPORT Trustees of Tuskegee Institute Given Full Information. YEAR OF GREAT ACTIVITY. Principal of Largest Southern Industrial School Makes Clear Statement of Conditions and Needs In Printed Booklet—Seth Low Pleased With School Growth and Influence. The annual report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, for the fiscal year has been issued in pamphlet form and is being distributed. The front cover of the report was a large picture showing a number of students in the institute orchard gathering peaches. Every important feature of the school, its success and needs are given consideration in the report, and there are many references made concerning the liberal aid given the institute in various ways by its many friends. Dr. Washington in part says: "Since my last report we have experienced the most disastrous fire in the history of the school. The burning of a portion of our horse barn caused a money loss of $11,422.92, including damage to building, harness and the loss of twenty-eight animals. We have received from insurance on the building and animals $6,312.52, leaving the net loss $5,120.40. These buildings have not yet been replaced by new ones. "I now briefly refer to our financial condition, complete details of which are shown in our treasurer's report. The trustees allowed a budget for the year for current expenses and improvements amounting to $228,300.51. I regret to state that we have overexpent the budget for current expenses, but am glad to say that we have un- P. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. derspent the budget for improvements, so that the net overexpenditure in these two accounts amounts to $7,472.22. "This overexpenditure came about not through carelessness, but owing largely to the fact that a large proportion of our industrial and extension operations are of such a nature as to prevent our making a definite estimate of their cost. This is especially true of our farming operations. As of May 31 we have received from all sources for current expenses $268,825.17, for buildings and improvements $28,919.47, for endowment $28,102.60, from undesignated legacies $53,878.10, making the total receipts for the purposes named for the year $779,704.83. "If we off the indebtedness on the heating plant the school will be free from debt except for about $77,000, all of which is due the investment committee and little or nothing to outsiders. In view of this condition I strongly recommend that our efforts for the coming year be mainly in two directions—namely, the searing of money for current expenses and getting the amount due the investment committee. "The gifts to the endowment fund for the year amounting to $28,102.00 make the fund stand at $1,970,-214.17." "The budget recommended for your consideration for the new year calls for an expenditure for current expenses, repairs, renewals and equipment of $291,567.92. Toward this we have the interest from our endowment and from other assured sources (including the $50,000 five year guarantee fund which expires next year) amounting to $189,500, leaving $190,067.92 to be secured from other sources. It is not possible to describe in words what a relief and help this $30,000 guarantee fund has proved during the four years it has been in existence. "In this connection, also, I would call attention to the fact that next year will be the end of the period of five years for which a number of our trustees and friends made a definite promise to give a certain sum of money each year on the five year guarantee plan. We shall have to begin now to consider some method of replacing these donations. The relief which has come to us because of this guarantee fund has been most marked and far-reaching. This means that our present endowment ought to be greatly increased or a larger income assured from some source. "The trustees will note that, while the amount of money secured for our COLORED If interested in securing a good position like this write for book and application blank.
