The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOL. XXIV. NO. 29 THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE Progressive and constructive statesmen, both in the State and Nation, are now devoting more attention than ever before to measures affecting the EDUCATION and HEALTH of the people. Proper education and good health are now rightfully regarded as among the Nation's chiefest assets. In appraising a candidate's availability for the United States Senate, from our view-point, it becomes of tremendous importance to know what is his attitude and his sympathies towards those great phases of State and National life and to discover whether he is equipped and qualified by training, experience and purpose to materially assist in obtaining the necessary legislation for the consummation of these important ends. Dr. France is an educator of wide experience and a physician of unusual prominence and ability. He has devoted many years to these professions. He has investigated the subjects of Education and Health as they affect the welfare of the State and Nation. He is a competent authority upon these vital questions as they affect the individual citizen. When it is remembered that the system of education, provided for the colored children in a large section of this State, is a mere travesty upon that idea, and when it is recalled that there is not a single institution, outside of Bay View Asylum, that will accept a colored tubercular patient, the candidacy of one who is so thoroughly conversant and so intensely interested in these important and vital matters appeals to us with peculiar and gripping force. There can be no genuine race or national progress without adequate educational opportunities and facilities; efficiency and happiness have their foundation in the health of the people. The conditions existing in Maryland, exist, only more intensely, in the States farther south. Soon, very soon, these matters will receive from the National Government the consideration which they just merit and with the election of Dr. France, they will have an advocate who, by reason of his knowledge of them, and his splendid intellectual equipment, will be able to impress favorably the Congress of the United States and the Country. Dr. France is a firm believer in the principles of government as enunciated and formulated by the Republican Party. It was to assist in defeating the iniquitous "Poe Disfranchisement Amendment", in 1905, that induced Dr. France to lay aside his numerous professional activities and take the stump against this measure that sought to nullify the Constitution of his Country, and by the grossest political fraud, to enshackle the electorate of his State. As a State Senator, representing Cecil County, an intrenched Democratic stronghold, in the Legislature of 1906-08, his career was one of devoted, unselfish service to all of the people of his State, and while there he exhibited the highest evidences of constructive, progressive statesmanship, the keenest apprehension of the long-nelected needs of the people and the fullest sympathy with their proper aspirations and aims. In 1908, in the State Senate, he vigorously opposed the submission of the "Straus Disfranchising Amendment," and in a strong and masterly effort upon the floor of the Senate, placed himself on eternal record for the right of every man to vote and have that vote counted as cast. During that same session, Dr. France introduced a bill to improve the system of public education, as affecting the whole people of the State, but it was defeated by the Democrats. A crisis is now apparently at hand in our country. A divided Democratic national administration has brought about a really pathetic and dangerous situation. As usual, the national democracy has shown its utter incapacity to conduct our national affairs. A Republican president will undoubtedly be elected to succeed Mr. Wilson. The political complexion of the Sixty-fifth Congress will depend upon the success of Republican effort in those States in which elections will be held for United States Senators. Dr. France can be elected because he is absolutely without entangling factional alliances, because he is acceptable generally to the Progressives and because the people of the State, irrespective of party affiliation, have faith in his integrity and capacity and believe that he will serve his State and his Country with honor, distinction and usefulness. will serve his State and his Country. For the reasons herein set forth, we tender our support to Dr. Joseph I. France for the Republican nomination to the United States Senate which is to be made at the primary election May 1, 1916 and recommend most favorably his candidacy to the Colored Voters of Baltimore City. Indorsement to This Petition by Leading Colored Citizens Will Appear in Next Week's Issue WHITE PARSON GETS IN TROUBLE New York, March 9.—Rev. Ferrer F. Martyn, white, and his colored wife, who was Miss Vera Davis, of St. Louis, were arrested here for alleged violation of the Mann whire slave law. When it was found out that they had been married by Rev. A. L. Murray, of Jersey City, they were discharged from custody. Martin is a graduate of Columbia University and Union Theological Seminary. He is a son of Rev. W. Carlos Martyn, a prominent Connecticut minister. He had previously married two white women, and while pastoring on Long Island became engaged to another white woman, but is alleged that a strange woman appeared thereby breaking the engagement. He next turned up in St. Louis, where he posed as a colored man. His father had pastored in that city before he went there. Martyn soon found favor with the people of St. Louis on account of his eloquent preaching. There warmth toward him soon changed, however, when it was alleged that the woman that he said was his wife was not. He later left for New York, stating that he was going to raise funds for a St. Louis Church. Miss Davis followed, stopping nine days in Chicago, while enroute. Since coming to this city they have resided in Harlem. Martyn won his way into the hearts of colored ministers here, and preached in a number of local colored churches. SHRINERS LOSE BUT Atlanta, Ga., March 10.—Rabban Temple of the Mystic Shrine is preparing to contest the temporary injunction that was issued against its continuance by the Superior Court of Fulton county eighteen months ago, and which was affirmed by the State Supreme Court last Friday. The case hung fire for months because most of the judges were disquaisified on account of being Mystic Shriners or were related to those belonging to the order. Injunction proceedings were sought by Yaarab Temple from using the insignia, [regalia, etc., common to the Mystic Shrine. The injunction proceedings will now be tried in the Superior Court on its mer ts. Its outcome will be watched in all parts of the country, as an adverse decision may be the forerunner of hostile acts to colored Mystic Shriners in other States. ST. CLAIR ELECTED Cambridge, Md., March 9.—Former City Councilman H. M. St. Clair was elected to the City Council from the Second Ward yesterday to succeed the late Nehemiah Henry. St. Clair was opposed by George Stanley, but won easily. He is well known throughout Maryland, being grand master of exchequer of the Knights of Pythias. He is a merchant. BROWN A DELEGATE-AT-LARGE Louisville, Ky., March 9.—Phil Brown, editor of Lexington Weekly News, was elected one of the eight delegates-at-large to the next Republican National Convention by the State Convention, which met at Louisville last week. Each delegate will have one half a vote. Final Action of M. E. Ministers Closes Incident That will not Reflect Credit Upon Baltimore Christianity. Despite the elevth-hour effort of the executive committee of Billy Sunday campaign to mollify the wounded feelings of colored ministers and laymen of this city regarding the apparent disinclination to admit colored people to the big tabernacle, there is not much likelihood of any cooperation on the part of colored ministers and their churches with the big evangelistic campaign. The M. E. Ministers' Meeting, by a unanimous vote Wednesday, reaffirmed its action of last week rescinding its resolution to aid in anyway possible the campaign. Following the exclusion of Rev. E. S. Virgil and party from the tabernacle on Wednesday of last week and the publication of the resolutions of the M. E. Ministers rescind their action to cooperate the Sunday committee became anxious to conciliate the colored people and to assure them they would be welcomed. In fact, it may be stated in passing, that a few colored people have attended each of Sunday's service here. The apparent indifference of the executive committee to the race has cause much resentment among some ministers, they believing that a campaign of the Sunday proportions should include all elements of the population. All of the ministers express themselves as being pleased with the fair attitude that Rev. Don S. Colt, chairman of the committee on prayer meetings, has taken. A difference of opinion exists as to who caused the expulsion of Revs. Williams and Virgil and party from the meeting. One of the committee claims that it was one at the direction of George Sunday, son of the evangelist The latter claims, however, that no one has authorized that only whites be admitted and that no one has authorized a publication that colored people would not be admitten. He says further that the local committee was desirous of appropriating money (presumably $1,000) so the colored people could hold meetings in their own churches, and that Mr. Sunday would address some of these. As the situation now stands colored people will be admitted to the tabernacle, but no meetings will be held in their churches. SHOULD REMAIN SEPARATE John T. Stone, a member of the executive committee, denies that colored people have been denied admission of the tabernacle, but that "it has been customary for the white people and the colored people of Baltimore to have separate places of worship, and we hope that customs will be observed in this instance." Rev. M. J. Nayler president of the M. E. Ministers' M-eting says: "I am standing exactly where I stood last week on the question of cooperation. Despite the fact that African Methodist and Baptist ministers refused to have anything to do with the campaign, I was one who favored cooperating. I did it with the beli-f that there are a large number of white people needing salvation, and that their being converted would not only aid the community, but would help to soften conditions against the race. That is why I stood out at first for cooperation, and my stand was taken in spite of the fact that a re- DILIGENT WORKER FOR THE MASSES NAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS Steps in the Life of Energetic Methodist Leader Who Engaged in Religious Activities at an Early Age—Indorsed by Seventy-five Delegates For Church Extension Secretary. Jackson, Miss.—The Rev. John Wesley Hair, D. D., the successful minister of the Pearl Street A. M. E. church in this city for five years, is a native of Sumper county, Ala. His early education was obtained in the public schools of Sharkey and Hinds counties. Miss. As a lad in the public school at Suedes, Miss., he was the brightest in his class. He was the leader among the boys of the neighborhood and took great delight in organizing them into companies for the various sports. After finishing the prescribed course of study in the public school young Mr. M. Hair took the county teachers' examination and was licensed to teach in 1892. By the difference he became one of the foremost teachers in Sharkey county. Mr. Hair later entered the Agricultural and Mechanical college at Alcorn. Miss., where he completed the course of study with great credit. The Rev. Dr. Hair's career in religious work began when he was but fifteen years of age. A year later he became superintendent of a Sunday school. In 1895 he received his license to preach. He was superintendent of Sunday schools for the Vickersburg district of the A. M. E. church for about two years and was admitted to the annual conference at Vickersburg. Dr. Hair offered the minister at Yazoo City in 1901 and was assigned to the Indiana mission of five members, with no church edifice. Here he demonstrated the fact of his ability as a leader and an organizer of men. Within nine months' time he had increased the membership from five to twelve and built a church worth $2,500. At this place the conference and bishop allowed him to remain for five years. In which time he raised much money and added many to the roll of the church, which he left clear of debt and a most refined and cultured congregation. He was ordained deacon by Bishop E. Tyre in 1902 and elder in 1903. His second charge was at Yazoo City, where he served one year and broke all previous records. He conducted a successful revival and added eighty-four to the church, paid a $200 debt and reported $120 of dollar money to the conference. At the China Grove station in 1908 Dr. Hair redeemed the lost cause, as it were, and carried the laurels to the conference with all records broken From this place he attended the general conference in May, 1908, at Norfolk, Va. He took an important part in the proceedings of the conference. In November, 1908, the lamented Bishop H. W. Lampton sent the Rev. Mr. Hair to Jackson, Miss., to save the Pearl Street A. M. E. church. He has served his fifth year at this place, which is his eleventh appointment. He has reduced the debt of the church from $5,000 less than $1,700. As a financier he ranks among the foremost. He is fluent in speech, logical in thought, powerful in debate, polished and chaste in diction, cultured and refined and a convincing pulpit orator. From long experience he has become a resourceful pastor, executive ruler, parliamentarian organizer, systematic business man, financier, scholar, preacher and leader of men. He is destined to be yet a greater leader in the councils of his church and race. Dr. Hair has made good use of his time in the ministry. He is only forty years of age. He has been unanimously indored by the seventy-five delegates of the Eighth Episcopal district, comprising Mississippi and Louisiana, as their standard bearer for secretary and treasurer of the church extension department of the A. M. E. church. He is a diligent worker for the masses and the Methodist church. AGRICULTURAL CLASS AT HAMPTON UNVEILS MOTTO "Success Crowns Labor" is the Slogan Adopted For 1916. Washington's birthday annually witnesses at the Hampton (Va.) Institute the unveiling of the senior agricultural class motto with a short but very appropriate program. The 1916 class, consisting of six colored and one Indian student, came forward with the expressive slogan, "Success crowns labor." The exercises were held in Cleveland hall chapel. Captain Alten Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, in an impressive manner gave the class words of advice and 'encouragement and assured them that the real test of a man is how he persists and overcomes difficulties. The Rev. Mr. Daniels of St. Philip's church, New York, made a short address, in which he explained the advantage of building air castles if one followed up the dreams and made them realities. He proffered also much good advice to the graduating class. Mr. J. L. B. Buck, assistant to the director in the agricultural department, reviewed the five years' work of the class, commended them on their accomplishments and read a congratulatory letter from C. K. Graham, director of the Hampton institute agricultural department. Mr. Graham's letter: "Please extend to the 1916 agricultural class my hearty congratulations and best wishes and also express my sincere regrets at not being able to be present at the unveiling of their motto. May they take as a message from me Paul's advice to the Corinthians, chapter 16, verse 13, 'Ouf you like men.'" John H. Hill of Yazoo City, Miss., the class president, in his address said: "When Rome was at the height of her power a Caesar decreed that at great labor and cost of innumerable lives a bridge should be built to carry a military road across a valley. In the present day civilization decrees that labor shall be used to a better purpose; that it shall result not in the destruction, but in the preservation of lives. In recent years America has made wonderful strides in agricultural evolution. Men and women trained along agricultural lines, aided by many important discoveries and the activities of the agricultural press, are giving agriculture conspicuous place in industry. "The south and the west hold the agricultural monopoly of America, and yet their resources have scarcely been touched. Of the many opportunities of the south and the west the agricultural are the most inviting. The wholesome spirit of the south breathes 'opportunity.' It is still the old south that is stretching wide its arms and speaking in a new voice to her sons, 'Come over into Macedonia and help us.' Even though the seed this class sows may be late in germinating, our hopes shall not be shattered nor our wills shaken, for we shall ever keep a steadfast trust in the words of our chosen class motto, 'Success crowns labor.' DUSE MOHAMED'S GOOD WORK. Distributor of Widows and Orphans' Fund is Warmly Commended. The London Graphic in a recent issue speaks appreciatively of the work of Mr. Duse Mohamed, former editor of the African Times and Oriental Review, which was suspended when the European war began because of the scarcity and high price of paper, who is now directing the Indian Moslem soldiers' widows and orphans' war fund which is conducted at 15S Fleet street, London. Mr. Mohamed is doing excellent work in England for these dependents. The fund is administered in India by Rajah Sir Mohamed Ali Mohamed. Mr. Duse Mohamed is a highly educated Egyptian and is known to Englishmen as an author of note. Injured Because of His Selfishness. In his book entitled "The Black Man and His Descendants" William Wells Brown, on page 37, says: "While traveling in the state of Ohio in 1844 in a stagecoach a white man objected to my being allowed a seat inside on account of my color. I persisted, however, and got in, claiming the right which my ticket gave. The objector at once took a seat on a trunk on the top of the coach. The wire netting around the top of the stage not being strong enough, the white passenger, trunks and all, slid off as we were going down a steep hill. The top passenger's shoulder was dislocated, and in his pain he cried out, 'If you had not been black I should not have left my seat inside!" Sunday Schools to Meet June 13 and 14. The twenty-third annual meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school and young people's convention will be held at Germantown, Pa. June 13-14. The convention will be the guest of the Sunday school of the Second Baptist church, Germantown. Household of Ruth Doing a Good Work. Household of Ruth No. 489, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, Pittsburgh, began a series of public meetings in the interest of the order on Tuesday evening, March 7.

Members of the National Negro Press association are especially gratified to hear that Horace D. Slatter has regained his health sufficiently enough to resume work again. Mr. Slatter is editor of the Voice of the People at Birmingham. Ala. THE AFRO-AMERICAN LATEST IN SPORTS BY SPORTSMAN When the sporting writers of the daily papers haven't anything else to write about 'they spout "baseball." We get "diamond dust" in and out of season, and "food for fans" in the heart of winter. Verily the baseballist never seems to "strike out.". Latest advice have Jack Johnson bound for Spain. We should not be surprised to see him finally wind up in the heart of Africa or some other place just as hot.

Summering at Port Deposit this time of the year is not a fad with our people, but then there are those who are just a little different from the rest as the following communication will indicate: Port Deposit, Maroh 7. Dear Bill: I am enjoying the summer weather here playing lots of baseb. . . . Please publish the following: The Port Deposit Stars have organized for the season of 1916 and would like to arrange games with the fastest colored teams in the State, to be played here or on their grounds. Black Sox, Trinity A. C., Morgan, High School, Belmont A. C., Spartan A. C., Chesapeake Giants and St. Mary's A. A. preferred. Thomas Fields, manager, Port Deposit, Md., and oblige very much In writing up the big indoor meet held at Washington recently the management of the meet took no cognizance of the sterling performance of Earl Johnson of Morgan College. To win two, mile events in a handicap in one evening is certainly a performance worthy of some note. Lincoln's baseball team is organizing for the season 1916. Games can be arranged by writing to the manager, W. Muir. Lincoln continued her upward climb when she defeated the Crescents of Atlantic City in the latter town last Friday night. At no stage of the game were the men of the city-by-the-sea in the path of victory, Lincoln maintaining the lead throughout. Watson of the Crescents, and U. Young and Sumner of Lincoln, were the stars of the game. Score 44-30. Lincoln will meet the famous Vandals of the same city next month. HIGH SCHOOL DOWNS THE HOWARD "PREPS" The High School five journeyed to Washington last Friday night and trampled down the colors of the Howard "Prep" team by the score of 36-16. High School was superior in every department of the game and totally outclassed the Washingtonians. Harris and Lane played a prominent part in the locals' victory. Line up: Howard, Goynes and Hopkins, forwards; Frances and Gaskins, c; McKenzie and Page, guards; Henry and Mickey. High School, Harris and Lane, forwards; Gee, center; Smith and Live, guards; Lyles sub. The two teams met again last night in Bethel Chapel. COLORED RUNNERS MUCH IN EVIDENCE Four of the five entries received thus far for the big National Senior indoor championship of the A. A. U. in New York, March 18, are from colored boys. They are champion Howard Drew, Roy F. Morse, of New York 220 yard national champion; Irving Howe, of Colby College; and Sol Butler of Dubuc, (lowa) College, who holds the world's interscholastic record for 60 yards. F. D. Pollard, another colored boy, and famous football star of Brown University who annexed the New England championship last Saturday in Boston, will be seen in the seventy yard hurdle exhibition. It is rumored that Pollard will probably be barred from the meet for having played football with Brown University against the Trinity eleven when Brickley was in Trinity's backfield. Some hold that this act constituted professionalism. HARR WILLS BESTS LANGFORD Sam Wills, the New Orleans heavyweight, who was recently put to sleep by Sam Langford in the 19th round of 20-round bout in the former's city came back Tuesday night and gained a decision on points over his rival in a 10-round setto in New York. The men fought hard and honestly with Wills having a shade the better of each round. Wills nearly floored Sam with four rights to the jaw in the first round. WILLARD BARS M'VEY FROM TRY AT $50 PRIZE Sam McVey, the big colored heavyweight, secured permission from the boxing commission of New York to try to win $50. offered by Jess Willard to anyone who could floor him during an exhibition contest at his training quarters, but Willard barred him out as though he were any old roustabout. We always knew there was a "yellow streak" in this big fake champion, who gained the tilt on a "thrown" fight. MORSE VICTOR IN HANDICAP MATCH For the second time this season, Howard P. Drew, the champion spinner, had victory wrested from him, and this time it was his protege, and probable successor, Roy F. Morse, the little colored 220-yard national champion. It happened at the games of the Central High School, held in Newark, N. J., Wednesday night. The event was an A.A.U. seventy yard handicap match, and Drew gave Morse a three-foot handicap. Frank Stephenson, of the Trinity A. C., with a four-foot handicap, was the runner up, while Drew finished fourth behind David Politzer of the Irish American A. C. Drew did not appear to be up to his usual form, while Morse ran a first class race from the crack of the gun, and there never seemed to be any danger of Drew overtaking his flying form, after he left the scratch. In the feature event of the evening William R. Granger, the crack colored middle distance runner of the Irish American A.C. was the runner up in the 500 yard run, which was for the championship of New Jersey, and the feature event of the evening. He was defeated by Frank Lagay, of Dartmouth, who took the lead from the start and maintained it throughout the race, Granger finishing five yards behind him. The basketball team of St. Mary's seems to have gone into a hole with the groundhog. BUTLER MAY STAR IN Sol Butler, the tall high school boy, who opened the eyes of the sporting world at the Panama-Exposition games by winning the broad jump, with a mark of 24 feet 21-2 inches, is looked upon as one of the stars of the coming big meet of the A. A. U. in New York next week. This will be his first appearance in the East and the has entered in the 60-yard dash, 70-yard high hurdles, and 300 yard run. Butler is an all-around athlete, holding the world's interscholastic record or sixty yards, having covered that distance in 6 2-5 seconds at the meet in Evanton, Ill., in 1914, which time also equals the world's record for that distance.

'Just'ce' is to be seen portrayed at the Academy, if not at Ford's. The old Latin L, M, N's (elements), the English A, B, C's have become for Nannie Burroughs simply the three B's; they are called the school of three, Bible, Broom and Bath, and constitute the sum of the philosophy of the National Training School. Booker Washington's shoes were big enough for both Major Moton and Bishop Walters. The former became principal of Tuskegee and the latter political chief and Trustee of Howard University. "Shall Africa be Moslem or Christian" asks George C. Clement in the Star of Zion, official organ of the A. M. E. Zion Church. If it is the Billy Sunday Christianity, Mohammadism ought to have a trial. Washington's new high school is to receive the name Dunbar. It is quite fitting the adopted home of the great poet is to have a school in his honor. Baltimore was just about a year ahead of Washington, deciding last year upon Dunbar as the name of an elementary school. The apology of the Sunday Committee states in effect: we are sorry that Revs. Virgil and Williams were refused admission to the Tabernacle; colored people could save themselves the humiliation of unofficial exclusion by not coming. Needless to say the apology is not accepted, first because there is no excuse for bad manners, and second because, to say the least, it is lefthanded. THE ST. LOUIS VOTE St. Louis has joined the ranks of cities with segregated districts. One of the ordinances provides that a Negro or white may not become a resident in a block occupied entirely by those of the opposite color. The other imposes the same restrictions in blocks containing seventy-five per cent white or the like percentage of Negro residents. The issue was decided by the ballot which shows that 52,220 votes were cast in favor of, and 17,876 against segregation. Estimating the possible colored votes as 16,500, it appears that only 1,376 of the 52,220 white voters voted against the measure. Of course it is taken for granted that the colored people as a whole opposed and did their best to get others to oppose shutting them up in specific sections of the city. There is nothing surprising about the outcome of the St. Louis measure for segeation. It was accepted in advance that submitting it to a popular vote meant that the colored people would be outvoted. The illuminating thing is the percent- age of white people shown to believe in the equal rights of colored citizens to live where they see fit. Of the 52,220 white voters, it is estimated 1,376 voted for the square deal, a bare two percent. MARY MCLEOD BETHUNE Mary McLeod Bethune, from her name it might be expected that she is Scotch, Irish or at least English, but she is none of the three, she is a colored woman. In the neighborhood of Daytona, Florida, were situated in 1911 turpentine districts where prostitution and bad whiskey constituted the outstanding features. The home life of the community as a consequence was characterized by an absence of pride in personal and property appearance. All of this Mrs. McLeod saw and set to work to remedy. Down into the heart of Dayton she went, with a dollar and a half in money, but "a wealth of faith in her heart" and founded the Industrial Training School for Negro girls. Aided by friends from both races, whom she could impress with her vision, the school grew and prospered. Eventually to sewing, laundry work, domestic science and dressmaking were added gardening, poultry raising and dairying, and $5,000 hospital came to find a place in the community. The turpentine districts were struck a death blow when the town was voted dry, and then fences began to be fixed and white washed, house repaired, gardens weeded. Children sharing in the transformation appeared in clean clothing, washed faces, and brushed hair. The old Daytona of 1911 has given way to a clean, industrious new Daytona. Faith and five years have worked wonders. To a correspondent of the New York Times Mrs. Bethune attributes the change to her school. "I consider the Daytona school a civilizer. I don't know a better name to give it." Scottish-Irish by name, Mary McLeod Bethune has good colored blood in her veins, and may teach the South, and the North too, that her name is not a bit hard to pronounce, after you have heard it repeatedly. STATE SCHOOL AT BOWIE STATE SCHOOL AT BOWIE The Governor and the State Boards of Education asked the legislature by redistribution of the school fund available for colored schools, lengthening the school term, and making school attendance compulsory for children under fourteen years of age, to increase and broaden the facilities for education in the state, at the same time making such regulations uniform. These recommendations strike at the heart of School Reform in the State. But one thing has been omitted - provision for raising the standard of teachers and espec ally new teachers. The three reforms proposed by the various educational agencies might be adopted and carried out, but better education will hardly be found to result unless the better system procures at the same time better instruction. Eighteen hundred of Florida's three thousand elementary school teachers have been found to hold only THIRD GRADE certificates. Lengthening the school term, compulsory school attendance will help to rid Florida of its ignorance, but at the same time it must provide itself with teachers, who have had more than a third grade education. The Maryland State Normal School situated at Bowie is the state agency for the training of teachers for state schools. The recent investigation of schools throut the state showed principal Goodloe to be doing excellent work under the most adverse conditions. These adverse conditions include inadequate accommodations, no library, and low salaries for teachers. The investigation showed too that a national appropriation of at least three thousand dollars would be needed. The path of duty of the legislature is clear. There is no kind of logic that can justify the neglect of its one agency for the training of state teachers, shifting the responsibility to Morgan College and the local High School. These schools can be expected to do their share, but the state and the state alone ought to assume chief burden of teacher training. FACETIOUS MR. BORLAND Wherever-one turns these days, it is difficult to escape being labeled a fool. Major Thomas Wentworth Higginson, writing for the Survey, asks the question, can we, made as we are, expect justice in this world. Answering it himself, he says we can not, and further, we are foolish for looking for it. Woodrow Wilson, addressing the annual meeting of newspaper men, called any man an "audacious fool" who allowed personal motives to lead him to seek public office. The Honorable William Borland' speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives, termed any congressman foolhardy who ventures to attack the hoary-headed abuses of the Government service in Washington. The Honorable 'Bill' does venture to the attack, however, and thereby hangs his facetiousness. VOTERS TO ORGANIZE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION Pursuant to call for seventh Ward Permanent Club, a number of various wards of the Afro-American Hall, 6 street, to discuss pla wide organization on The Borland Amendment to the Government Appropriation Bill now before congress provides that all employees and clerks in the public service of Washington be required to perform eight hours of service in the working day. The Amendment raised such a storm of protest from the clerks, that in spite of the fact that it was adopted unanimously by the committee on appropriations, Mr. Borland was forced to defend his views on the floor of the House. Very logically and convincingly he showed that the Government had a right to have its offices open during the usual business hours; that eight hours and not seven hours, as at present, is the ordinary working day; that $4,000,000 worth of favoritism is being expended, since other employees than clerks are at present required to work eight hours; and finally: There are number of Negroes in the civil service, and, almost without exception, they are in the purely clerical departments where the seven-hour day prevails and not in the mechanical and technical branches where the eight-hour day is enforced. I am told that among the young Negro couples it is customary for both the husband and wife to take the civil-service examination and secure appointment, if possible, in the same office. As they get to work late in the morning and go home early in the afternoon, it is possible for them to keep house and raise an interesting brood of pickaninnies while drawing two comfortable salaries from the Federal Government. Sometimes the wife only works in the department, and the husband rests at home or devotes his talents to preaching the gospel. Of course with reference to his final reason for acceptance of his Amendment, the Honorable, "Bill" was not taken seriously. To the contrary he merely wanted to be facetious. THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY..... A. O. Stafford writing on the "mind of the African Negro as reflected in his proverbs" in the initial issue of the "Journal of Negro History" quotes the following on Truth: "Lies however numerous, will be caught by truth when it rises up." If there is any wisdom in this African philosophy, or if it is preferred in the more familiar expression, "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again," there is little need to fear that information to show what the Negro has thot and felt and done in the past centuries has been lost forever, or that because it has been misinterpreted, the Negro is in danger of beginning a negligible factor in the thot of the world. Those who are impatient and sceptical because the race has not accomplished wonderful things in art and learning lose track of the fact that art and learning are founded upon experience and economic well being. This is the History of Civilization, and as the race becomes older and wealthier, a greater degree of learning and art are bound to be unfolded. Something akin to this impatience and scepticism may be seen in the foreword of the "Journal of Negro History", a Quarterly, published by the Association For the Study of Negro Life and History, when it is stated there: "In centuries to come when scholars, after forgetting the prejudices of this age will begin to make researches for the whole truth, they will have only one side of the question, if the Negro does not leave something to tell his own story." Admirably original historical narrative and criticism from the pens of writers like Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Monroe Work and Jessie Fausett in addition to A. O. Stafford are interesting in themselves and indicative of the kind of contributions readers of the "Journal of History" are to except. While this is so, it is difficult to go all the way with the editors when they state with such frankness that the "whole truth" of the history of a race is in danger of being lost. To quote a proverb from the collection of Mr. Stafford again:—"The voice of truth is easily known." Rev. J. R. L. Diggs has resigned as president of Clayton-Williams University. It is also rumored that he will resign the pastorate of Trinity Baptist Church to accept a call to First Baptist Church, Georgetown, D. C. Rev. S. S. Wormley is temporarily filling the latter pulpit. CONFERENCE OF PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION The Second Annual Conference of the Maryland Colored Public Health Association will be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, March 15th, 16th and 17th, at 8.00 o'clock. There will be an attractive moving picture show each night, beginning at 7.30, followed by a musical program and addresses by prominent speakers. There will be held in the Chapel of, the Church, each afternoon, under the auspices of the Milk Committee of the Women's Cooperative Civic League, an exhibit bearing upon the Child Welfare Movement recently observed throughout the country. The object of the Colored Public Health Association is to improve living conditions among the people of the city and state, and to reduce the present high death rate by calling attention to methods within the reach of all for the prevention of disease and the practice of elementary principles of sanitary living. The Colored Public Health Association has been ably assisted in its efforts by the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Marylan. The first meeting will be presided over by Dr. J. M. T. Finney of Johns Hopkins University, and Commissioner of Health John D. Blake will deliver one of the addresses. Among the local and out-of-town speakers will be Maj. R. R. Moton, Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. John R. Hawkins, Dr. Charles O'Donovan, Dr. D. Holly Smith, and several speakers representing the Maryland Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association. The public is urged to attend the meetings in large numbers. The Isaac Myers' Bible Class of Bethel A. M. E. Church will render a special literary musical program this Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m. These programs will be repeated on the second Sunday of each month. The program this Sunday includes an add-ess on "The Isaac Myers," John H. Murphy; solos, Harvev Williams, Mr. Brown and James Dockins, recitation, Alexander Martin; paper, Algeron Jackson, and Scripture reading James Hawkins. As a result of the campaign which has been waged during the past two weeks, Provident Hospital is richer by nearly three thousand dollars. The campaign, which was for $10, 000, was disappointing in that the amount asked for was not reached. Nevertheless those in charge are not discouraged and plan to continue the effort until the 1st of April. ELKS MINSTRELSDRAW CROWD Albaugh's Theatre was crowded last Monday with an appreciative audience to see the minstrel show given by Monumental Lodge of Elks. The show which was a creditable one, had all the features which have made minstrelsy popular since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, and then some. William Lewis was the interlocutor, while Butler and Gross as end men kept the audience convulsed with their funny characterizations of prominent local characters. The skit which showed the initiation into the mysteries of Elkdom as a scream. The proceeds from the performance will go toward the liquidation of the debt on the building. During the intermission, a number of prominent society ladies passed cans through the audience, into which contributions were placed for Provident Hospital. Baltimore, Feb. 23, 1916. Dr. Harry F. Brown, Supt. Provident Hospital My dear Sir: Enclosed you will please find a check for $50.00, the neucleous to a fund which we propose to raise in the interest of establishing a "Free Bed" in the Provident Hospita, for the worthy poor of our race. Respectfully yours, Management Drexel Benefit SUNDAY EPISODE NOW CLOSED spectable minority did not favor it. "I know that the Catholics and Unitarians, as well as the whiskey element, are opposed to Billy Sunday, and for that reason did not want to put any obstacle in the way of a big spiritual awakening here. I regret, however, that some events may be hit upon by those who have all along been opposed to the great evangelist. I do not see any reason why colored ministers and churches should receed from the stand they have taken as they hold the enviable position as far as real Christianity is concerned." VOTERS TO ORGANIZE PERMANENT ORGANIZATION Pursuant to call from the Seventeenth Ward Permanent Republican Club, a number of men from various wards of the city met at Afro-American Hall, 628 N. Eutaw street, to discuss plans for a citywide organization of colored Republicans. The plan met with the approval of those in attendance, and a permanent organization will be effected at a meeting to be held next Friday night. Resolutions were adopted criticising ministers who dabble in politics and advising that they remain in their pulpits; urging the colored voters to organize so as to be an effective political unit and decrying primary fights and boss rule as a menace to party success. "It will be with much regret to us," the resolutions read, "to recommend to the colored citizens who attend the different churches of the city in which their preachers insist on their pernicious political activity in the future to the extent that they have in the past, that the financial support of such preachers be withdrawn." Daniel W. Richardson, president of the club which issued the call, presided. THE DEATH OF YOUNG SCHOOL TEACHER The funeral of Miss Bertha E. Bond, who died at her home, 1632 Druid Hill avenue, Sunday, following a two-month illness, was held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon. Revs. M. J. Naylor and W. A. C. Hughes officiated. The pallbearers were members of the class of 1909 of the Colored High School, of which she was a member. Interment was in Mt. Auburn Cemetery. The obsequies were attended by quite a number of teachers in the city schools. Miss Bond was born in this city 23 years ago. She was educated in the public schools. Following her graduation from the High School, she completed the course at the Teachers' Training School. PIANO RECITAL AT PIANO RECITAL AT METROPOLITAN HALL Metropolitan Hall was filled last Thursday evening of last week by an appreciative audience to witness the first piano recital given by pupils of Miss Eslander V.

The following persons were on the program: Misses Mamie Muore, Georgia Jackson, Ethel Cumming, Lillian Burgess, Nora Diggs, Sadie Holland, Mrs. Hailstark, Masters Hermet Wortham and William Pickens, Jr. The dialogue, "Getting up a Practice," showed how helpful music is to a young person with talent to become proficient in the art. The following were in the dialogue: Misses Ruth Mccore, Marjorie De Vere, Harriett Pickens and Mr. Ernest Brown.

Fessenton, vice president; Walter S. Emerson, secretary, and James W. Hughes, treasurer. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Hattie Moody, who departed this life one year ago, March 11, 1915. O for the touch of the hand that has vanished. And a sound of the voice that is still How sadly we have counted the hours That have measured the sorrowful year Since they laid 'neath a mantle of flowers Our mother we love so dear. By her children. From Anna Moody, 100 Woodland street, Hartford, Conn. COLORED PEOPLE'S PROGRESS A new race history, soon to be placed on the market at $150; the publishers, Austin-Jenkins Co., Washington, D.C. Warder Building are now placing agents. Anyone wanting the agency may get a fine prospectus free for 15 cents in postage. $2700 FOR HOSPITAL DREXEL GIVES $50 FIVE HUNDRED NEW MEMBERS OR BUST Secretary Booker, with an organization of 48 men, divided into two divisions of eight teams each are putting forth a strenuous effort to enroll 500 members in the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. The slogan adopted is "500 MEMBERS OR BUST" and the workers are very confident of landing 500 men and boys by Monday night, March 13th. Secretary Booker and the leaders of the two leagues are very enthusiastic and hopeful. The association will hold a very potent place in the social welfare of the community and it should have a membership of five hundred men and boys. Secretary Booker was asked: What class of men are you looking for and hoping to get in the association? His answer—Our brotherhood knows no class or group, but looks upon every member as a man and we seek to give him a man's chance and make him feel at home in the building and in the brotherhood. We owe something to the boys of this community and it is our duty to give them a better chance than we had. Our motto: "Every man a member and every member a man." The national league, with Dr. A. O. Reid as leader is making a great showing in the membership race. The New York Giants, composed of D. J. Lewis, Lloyd Clark and George A. Walker are leading in the national league and the fans have predicted that this club will win the first national pennant. Lewis, the veteran slugger has made 24 runs himself and with his fighting clan in shape promises to make a clean sweep of them all. WATCH THE GIANTS! The braves, cubs and cardinals are still hopeful, yet there seems to be a slump and some of the slow players will be traded to the minor leagues. The national scout is out in search of new blood, recruits that will help head off the scheming Americans. Dr. Joseph B. Mason, the president of the Americans is still hopeful and working to get the old machine in line. So far the boys have not warmed up to the task, even the slugging athletics are out of form. A special call for a conference with the captains show signs of restlessness in the American camp and no doubt, some new recruits will be used this week. Bill Mason said that the season is just half over and we have a chance yet to show our grit, pluck and push. Remember the race of the Red Sox some years ago. So far the fight is between the senators, tigers and Indians. The standing Monday night, March 6, was 244 members—256 must be gotten by Monday night, March 18th in order to make good our word. We will get them, shouted the young recruit, who had been a member only one day. Invest one dollar. Who would hesitate to join a brotherhood with a $100,000 building to be on the way this year, the most modern plant for the development of Christian manhood. Get in on the ground floor. The membership list will be published at the close of this campaign. Enroll today. No one needs to give much time to the work every man has two or three men that he meets in his daily routine who would be very glad to join, if invited. Now, if you have any doubt about the association, any questions to ask, any misunderstandings about anything relative to the work, get in touch with Secretary Booker by phone, or by appointment. Be sure your name is registered among the five hundred men and boys who will fight for a better manhood in Baltimore. Every man will get credit for what he does. The score board will tell. THE SPECIALIST'S VOICE 1. Dr. William Osler was distinguished by the opportunity to demonstrate his inherent ability. Dr. D. Newton E. Campbell of Carey street could well have succeeded Dr. Osler at Johns Hopkins for both are Britishers and educated in English Institutions, but one happens to be white while the other is colored. 2. Though some small doctor is telling the people not to have Dr. Campbell, yet three American institutions, two British and the Maryland State Board, rated Dr. Campbell in the honor list. He has visited eleven hospitals outside the United States and studied several months under a French Specialist. His educational standing is international and he cures nine out of ten patients if the parties will pay for it. Adv St. Louis, Mo., March 8.—State Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the lower court declaring Charles H. Turpin reelected constable for the Fourth district. - ANNUAL REPORT : JHE PYTHIAN LOAN AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION. Year Ending December 31st, 1915 . ASSETS. + .

It seems to me that the last time I took my’pen in hand tu. write a few lines I was jin Chicago or some other port. Well-I went out to Evanston and made a few. remarks and then left in’ company with some friends for another part of the world. I went directly to the home of Owen Love- joy. This isto say I went to the place where they destroyed his printing press and put him out of business, and made him just shut up his mouth, and even told him that they-would kill him if he dar- ed to plead the cause of a slave or to speak against slavery, because it was.a.‘‘Divine Right.” _ It was a nice little stay in Alton, IL, and the next day after talking about the birth of George Washing- ton, for I was in Alton on his get porn day, got’ myself together and went to St. Louis. It was a nice trip there. I checked my spelling machine and little hand trunk in the parcel room and went out to meet’ and greet my friends in town, Jt was a real nice meeting. Rev.S. A. Mosely was the first claim my attention. He invited me to stop with him and then I went in St. Paul A. M. &. Church and found Dr. Brooks as busy as could be getting things in line. It was a meeting here to fight. segre- gation. 1 do not know just what that is, but we were fighting it te afinish. But 1 am sorry to say we lost the fight thus far, but will come again in another way. Dr. Brooks was just sending out to the delegates his announcement that he was going to allow his name to come before the General Con- ference for bishop. 1 had the pleasure of riding in one of the big horseless carriages with Prof. Malone. 1 looked around to see all J could see and how I could see it. In the meantime I went over and secured a wagon to haul all of my things to Rev, Dr, Moseley’s house, ineluding my spelling machine. 1 went out to see many friends, but when I returned, about 8:30, the man met: me and told me that my gmalt trunk had been stolen out of the wagon, ‘Now what to do was a puzzle, as 1 thought it was gone forever. It was reported to the police of St. Louis, and was assured that they would: find it. ‘We will haveit and the man before morpig.”” 1 thought that ~they-Fust wanted to stop_me form erying and 1 would never eee that machine again. So “J went to bed, and slept like a log but Officer James P, Gahen was not asleep,but had both eyes open, and at 9:45 he had the man and the machine in the police station. “He-is one of the best uniform men in St. Louis, “and. while he had not received the news about the ma: chine Reing stolen, he was travel ing his beat, saw a man who dic not have a epelling machine look; So he said I asked him what he ‘hac “and he said a typewriter, and wa: toting it to ‘‘Blind Jones.’ He was required to tote it to the polic« station, so when I went down the next day “to purchase a new one, | was informed that the police hac my old one and (did not need t buy. {went to the police station found the man, and the machine and then on to Kansas City where had the. pleasure of meeting th business men there. They wer getting ready for the Nationa Negro Business League, whic "promises to be the greatest in th history of the League. They ar organizing in great big shape. Mr, Weaver, and his wife, to gether with other big people ar getting things inline, (had th pleasure of attending a banque and meeting the real men who ar planning to do the real work. I did not stop there, because called on Prof. J. R. E. Lee at th high up:school in Kansas City, Mo. “and it:willNbe.of intereat to you t know'that-he is doing a great wor there. You would hardly know th ‘school, He has been able to do.s a —————oo this-young man. His wife is found right by his side all the time push- ing things with him. Young Til- ford is striving to get in high school, while-Catherine, the daugh- ter is getting ready to come out of high school. Mrs. Norene Davis is active in all that means develop- ment for the race. I took a trip to Topeka, Kans., spent a little time with Hon. John Wright, one of the great men of our race. Mr. Wright, if you will remember, was for a long time treasurer for the city of Topeka, and is now Deputy County Clerk, and is being pushed to, run for the clerkship. He may make the run, He is a man well trained, and up to time. Like other men, . right by his side is to be found a bunch of brains in the person of his wife, Mrs. Wright,is a fine singer. Re- turning to Kansas City, I met Miss Mary Evans, who is conducting a meeting in Ebenezer A. M. E, Church. I did not get to go to her meeting, but I am told that she is doing a great work. I did net get to talk with her much, because I was passing through Kansas City enroute to St. Louis, and then down here. I did not know that there was.so much in-this hair business. I heard of a hair college, so I thought I would go and sze it. Reaching St. Louis, was in search of the Pore College. 1 did not know what that meant, but I went there. I was met at the door by a young woman, and I said to her: I understand you examine and fix up heads here and I have a little touch ot head disease myself and want to have it fixed up. 1 own. all of St. Louis. All the money is mine, She looked at me and told me was in the wrong place. But another woman came to:the door, and ushered me up stairs and introduced me to Mrs. Annie Pope Turnbo-Malone. There is some name and don’t you forget it. She is the founder and president of the Poro College, and this college is where they teach people tc grow and make hair that is hair come right out of the scalp. She is a business woman, She received me and made me wel- come to the place. I was intro- duced to her husband, Prof. E. A. Malone. Now you will get an idea what hair growing means to her when I tell you that she gave $5,000 to the Y.M.C.A. here, the largest amount that was ever given by our people to any one Y¥.M.C. A. I could just take a whole paper in talking about this. I left for this place over the L. and N., stopping in Birmingham over night with Dr. J. S. Jackson, of the A. M. E. Zion Chureh, Dr. Jackson had just completed his. business, and -wa: ready for the report” The. mar who has hangied his books, show: that he ia tight up with his church, aid’ resdy to do business at th next General Conference. Will talk about it later. In Bessemer I am spending ¢ day with Dr. E. J. Gregg, one of the leading physicians in Alabama, saying nothing about race or color it had the pleasure of meeting Mrs Fannie M. Denny, the sister of thi doctor. She is a widow and i spending the winter at home witl her* mother and brother. She is wet efucated, and has lived i \Chicago for a while, But she ha not been idle since being in town but. has assisted in the truant wor! in connection with the schools, will have to close here and sen you another later.

BUTLER 1211 Druid Hill Ave. Fo on PROMI AW nn a ..WOMAN'S COLUMN.. BY MARGARET BLACK THE UNMARRIED OR BACHELOR WOMAN I wonder how many of us stop to think when we are provoked as to whose feelings we hurt. While paying a short call the other day, a little girl entered the room and said "Mother where is auntie?" "I don't know" said she. "Go look for her and tell her to come to the sitting room, some one wishes to see her." In a few moments, a sweet faced, timid little woman entered, and holding out her hand, said "My dear, I'm surely glad to see you," then crossed the room and sat down on the edge of the chair—as though she was afraid she would hurt the chair—and looked for all the world like a scared child. I asked her many questions and just as I was thinking she would never, never give anything but monosyllable answers to my questions, she braced up and commenced to talk. Knowing she belonged to the Mite Society of their church, I asked her about the quilting, and she was immediately all life, and commenced to tell me of the lovely quilt she had pieced and was going to have the members help her quilt for her little niece, she had become so engrossed in telling me of this work, that it was just like some one had thrown a bucket of cold water over her, when her sister-in-law said in her cold self-possessed way, "oh dear, you have got Esther started and she would talk of nothing else for the next six hours if you didn't stop her; I declare she is a typical old-maid—in fact she is so fussy and old womanish she worries me." I did not stay long after that, and as I wended my way slowly homeward I thought, "what would you do without your husband's old maid sister." Every woman does not get married, nor do they all care to marry and why they should be taunted about it and sneered at for it is more than I can understand. In my opinion "old maid" sisters are not to be sneezed at. They lend a helping hand and pilot their kin over many rough places, that is often accepted as our due without any regard for the giver. Sometimes we meet the unmarried woman who is so cross and contrary that we hardly know what to do with them, or how to talk to them and yet if we knew why they were so grouchy, nine times out of ten it would be because their motives were always misconstrued and their help accepted or their gifts taken without so much as a kind word or a thank you given in return. Yet a stranger rendering not a tithe of what the "maid" has rendered receives praise and gratitude enough to set a city on fire. She is snubbed, buffeted from post to pillar, everybody tires of her, and when she rebels, and stands on her dignity and refuses to be the butt of every one, she is called "The typical old maid." I wonder how many of us would fancy being called ugly, unnecessary names. This sister does many things the married sister has no time to do and often not the means to do with. The children as a rule, love her and if help is needed she is usually the one looked upon to give it. I heard this remark one day of the unmarried sister, "She should have got married long ago, I don't see why she didn't she had opportunity enough. I'm sure." Perhaps she did, but the girl I'm thinking of used her hard earned salary to help a younger brother thru college and to help make home comfortable for an invalid mother and widowed sister. The mother died, the brother married, the girl still keeps up the home and sup ports her sister, who is suppose to keep house for the two, and yet she says "I don't see why she didn't marry long ago;' yet, I wonder what would become of her if the old maid sister did marry. Who among us would be satisfied with so commonplace an existence? Let us follow her when she thinks she is alone, be quiet, and watch in the dim light as we look, her head rests on her hand and only her eyes are visible to us who watch. The veil that hides her thoughts from us is impenetrable and as we watch her in the sanctuary of her own room, we wander with her into the unknown, the barriers are down, and the flood of anguish that sweeps relentlessly over her as she faces the unknown, and asks herself what will the end be, appalls us. A sense of helplessness, a wild longing for some one to whom to turn, possesses her, and she flings her arms wide, and cries "O God how long." Her life given to the keeping of others and yet here she sits with bowed head"ALONE." As I close the door and steal away, I think, "There is a little spark that still glows and will never become extinct and it takes just such a few kind words or a thoughtful act to bring it to life, and just a little effort to keep it alive and that is LOVE. So give the woman who did not marry her share and let them know we think them human beings worthy of our best love and let them see that the self-effacing devotion to us and ours is appreciated and that we can be as tolerant of our fellow woman's misdeeds as we are of our own. THINGS YOU MIGHT TRY Instead of throwing away your old shirtwaists that have become frayed at the cuffs and the necks of which are worn out, try cutting off the sleeves to the elbow or three-quarter length and turning into the neck a bit. Then stitch a linen collar and cuff set, a deep collar if the waist is well worn, and you have a brand new waist. A cloth moistened with camphor will remove white spots from furniture. RECIPES If you are thinking of having pancakes on pancake day, try this recipe and see if you do not have delicious pancakes. PANCAKES Four eggs, one pint of milk, one teaspoonful of salt, three table spoonsful of sugar and flour enough to make it in batter, two teaspoonsful of baking powder. To the yolks of the eggs add the salt and sugar and beat light then add half the milk and stir in the flour and baking powder, then add the rest of the milk and last the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Sift the flour and baking powder togehee twice before using and have the griddle hot. The batter should be thin enough to pour on the griddle. Spread with butter and syrup and roll and sprinkle with powdered sugar. SURE SPONGE CAKE Four eggs, two teaspoonsful baking powder, two cups sugar, sift flour three times, one cup water, three cups flour, put all in a bowl together and beat with an egg beater. Icing: whites of two eggs teaspoonful of melted butter, lemon flavoring, one pound powdered sugar beat all together until stiff enough to spread. NEWS FROM TAPPAHANNOCK Tappahannock, Va., March 9.

The doctors here told me I had Tuberculosis and would soon follow mother. Some, one advised my husband to send me to Dr. Campbell, 1389 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 3 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."
