THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --- VOL. XXIV. No. 46 20,000 SEE BIG 4TH CELEBRATION Pagent, Games, Drills, Races And Picnics Attract Vast AMES SCOUT TROOP WINS. Competitive Drill Between The Scout Troops Proves Interesting Feature. Pageant, games, drills, races and picnics, all at one and the same time, offered the spice and the variety that attracted more than twenty thousand persons to Drud Hill Park to a Safe and Sane Celebration the like of which Lord Baltimore has not seen in all his days. All roads led to the Park on the Fourth, and in couples or in larger groups, this monster crowd spread itself over the groves around the playgrounds and public tennis courts to view the spectacles, or to enjoy itself in its own way. Older people revelled in pipes and books while seated under the big shade trees and the younger folk, all unmindful of the bright July sun, capered and laughed to their hearts content. The tiny tots, shavers, were well represented and gave the proud parents constant concern by their persistence in finding undesirable places to play. Policemen and boy scouts did yogoman service in returning lost children. One tearful mother, who had threaded her way for some time through the throng in the effort to find her boy, came upon him standing stolidly, feet wide apart, and altogether unmindful of her absence, watching the evolutions of the boy scouts. With mixed feelings she hugged and spanked him at the same time. The crowd began to collect in the park as early as ten o'clock, and from then until the last skyrocket threw out its myriad of vari-colored stars, there was not a dull moment. The Boy Scouts with their friends met at Ames M. E. Church where several patriotic speeches were made. Then led by two drum corps, the "boys in khaki" marched to the grounds. A number of the uniform rank of Knights of Pythias were also in line under command of General Lewis E. Williams. The Pageant, representing America and Uncle Sam, resplendent in bright colors and happy faces, preceded folk dances by the youngsters, but the main attractions were the Boy Scouts competitive drill and the athletic events. In a natural amphitheatre, near the reservoir, these youngsters, who represent the pride of their several churches, marched to and fro, and executed difficult military formations with the ease of regulars. The climax of the drill came when it was announced that the Ames Memorial M. E. Church Troop, C. L. Patterson, the scoutmaster, had made a score of 100 per cent. The spectators were jubilant. "You can't beat that," yelled someone, and the troop was applauded to the echo. Troop 14, Sharon Baptist Church, was second with a score of 93. No. 3, of First Baptist Church was third with 80; and No. 8, Ebenezer Baptist Church, 4th, 78. The judges were Brigadier General Lewis E. Williams, and Col. Samuel Hayward of the Knights of Pythias and Colonel Adjutant Hamilton N. Hayes of the Odd Fellows. The wining troop received a silkbon banner. Athletic events under the direction of Messrs Llewellyn Wilson and Bernard Webb, were numerous and exciting. The results were: 100-xard dash—1st. Branch; 2nd. Branch; 3rd.

STARLIGHT BACK ON THE JOB AGAIN With the new big steel shaft firmly set in place and moving as smoothly as if nothing ever had happened, the Steamer Starlight made her way from the repair yards to her berth at Miller's Wharf at ten o'clock Thursday morning. Two hundred anxious excursionists of the Ladies Aid of Metropolitan Church, who were well baked in the city sun and longing for the refreshing breezes of Brown's Grove, climbed up the gang plank and were soon moving down the bay. Since Thursday, June 29, when the big steamer broke her shaft as she approached the grove with over seven hundred passengers on board, excursions to the grove have been suspended, while the old shaft was taken out and replaced by the new one in a South Baltimore shipyard, it being necessary to work night and day since Friday in order to complete the job. Coming just before the Fourth of July this meant that several of the largest organizations in the city were disappointed. With one exception, however, those who had booked dates, express themselves as being sorry that the accident had happened, and refusing to take the money placed up as a forfeit, accepted dates later in the season. Morning Star Lodge, K. of J., The Imperial Association and the Furniture Men's Association are among those who will probably accept dates later in the season. With the break in the shaft fixed perfectly new, the Starlight resumed her daily trips, and as Captain Brown assures; will be going from now on as if nothing had happened. JOIN MITCHELL REELECTED John Mitchell, of Richmond, Va. was reelected grand enchantor of the Grand Lodge, of Knights of Pythians at the annual session attended by 500 delegates from all parts of that state. Receipts for the year totaled $30,000 with a balance on hand of $23,000. APPOINTED RED CROSS NURSE Miss Magnolia Diggs, head nurse at Provident Hospital, has been appointed a Red Cross nurse. She will take a special course in the University of Pennsylvania the coming winter, after which she expects to quality for her new position. The position pays $100 a month. Miss Diggs is a native of Hagerstown, but was reared in Carlisle, Pa. She received her training at Provident Hospital graduating in 1913. She then took a post graduate course at Lincoln Hospital, New York city.

MEETING OF MITE SOCIETY Winchester, Md., July 6—The third quarterly meeting of the Women's Mite Missionary Society of the Baltimore Conference Branch was held here on Wednesday of last week. Delegations were present from all parts of the State and the District of Columbia. The sessions were held in the neat, new church, of which Rev. J. R. Nelson is pastor, and was presided over by Mrs. C. J. Flagg, the vice president. After the usual devotional exercises the several committees were appointed and the conference got down to business. Reports were received from the various auxiliary committees. The report of the Temperance committee, committee on mother's meetings and others were discussed and approved. The committee on encouraging busiered a very satisfactory report. There was a lively discussion on the question ness enterprises among the race, ren of woman suffrage. The discussion was opened by Mrs. Minnie L. Gaines, who was followed by quite an array of interesting speakers. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. Rosa Martin, showed an improvement in the financial condition of the organization. The report of Mrs. Annie E. Waddleton, superintendent of the junior department, was very satisfactory in every respect. The welcome address at the opening of the conference was made by Mrs. A. D. Heath, of this place and was responded to by Mrs. E. L. Stepten. The pastor and members of the church deserve great credit for the very happy manner in which they entertained the conference. COOKSVILLE NOTES. Cooksville, Md., July 6—Rev. Edward Moore has arranged for a big rally to be held Sunday.

DISGUSTED WITH EXCURSION The town council, of West Point, Va. failed to adopt a measure last year barring colored excursions over the Southern Railroad. An incipient riot during an excursion last week makes it likely that some such measure will now be passed. Editor Hays, of the Preacher's Meeting Criticizes Action of Editor Lyon of The Commonwealth Stung by some criticisms that had been made in a recent issue of the Commonwealth, regarding some of his offerings as editor for the M. E. Preachers' Meeting, Rev. Dr. D. W. Hays deferred before the ministers on Wednesday that the publication of debates and differences may lead to the public having a false conception of the meetings. Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyon, a member of the meeting and editor of the Commonwealth, it appears, had not taken kindly to some of the views expressed by Dr. Hays and had used the columns of his organ to criticize him. Dr. Hays was evidently perturbed by the criticisms when he arose to protest in the following words: "Is it the consensus of opinion that it is proper for a member of this meeting to criticise adversely through the press a paper which has been read before the body by another member?" His query caused a flood tide of oratory to be let loose, most of the ministers taking the view that the proceedings of the meetings should not be ventilated in the newspapers. "We have often told this man," said Rev. George E. Curry, pointing to a representative of the Afro-American, "not to publish certain things, and he has not done so. That certainly ought to apply to one of our number." "I intend to publish this part of our proceedings," declared Dr. Lyon. At this juncture, Rev. N. M. Carroll suggested that the two editors be allowed to fight it out among themselves. Following some more debate the matter was finally amicably adjusted. TO BRING BACK VILLA "Here are the boys that are going to bring Villa's head back" was the sentiment of many thousands that lined the streets of Chicago, Ill., last Saturday, to cheer the Eighth Illinois Regiment off to the border camp at Springfield. Inside the armory men were kissing wives and sweethearts, and sisters and those who had no relatives present kissed other men's relatives for good measure. Sergeant, of Company A, who was on duty at the door, reached into the crowd and pulled out Geraldine Randall, dressed in pink and blue, and wearing a beribboned bonnet. "Come here girl, I don't know your name, he said, "but I got to kiss you just once. My wife couldn't come down but I just got to tell someone good-bye." The girl laughed and gave him as hearty a smack as he bestowed. SHORTAGE OF LABOR IN NORTH Agents of the Schuykill division of the Pennsylvania Railroad are in the South again, this week, endeavoring to bring more Negro laborers in this section to work on the many improvements that are being carried on on the division between Reading and Philadelphia. About a week ago 50 colored laborers were brought from North Carolina. PRICE THREE CENTS BETHEL CHURCH PASTOR ARRESTED Trustees Press Grave Charges Against Jersey City Parson --- Was One of Baltimore's Wealthiest Citziens. Made Fortune in the Hauling Business. The funeral of James-L. Hitchens, who died at the residence of his nephew, William H. Hitchens, at Govans, last Saturday night, following a lingering illness, from heart trouble, was held at St. James Protestant Episcopal Church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., officiating. Interment was in Mt. Zion Cemetery. The deceased was born in this city 65 years ago and began life as a drayman. He was always of a frugal disposition and soon saved enough money to embark in the furniture moving business. His trade rapidly grew and he opened a storage warehouse and stable at 304 N. Holliday street. He was the first man to introduce the large moving vans here. He retired about five years ago, after having accumulated a fortune of at least $100,-000. Much of his money was invested in real estate and mortgages on churches. He had but few hobbies, one of which was the wearing of costly diamonds. He also got around with the "boys" occasionally. He was married three times, each of his wives being a white woman. His last wife, to whom he was married a year ago, survives. Several years ago he leaped into the limelight when a white woman who was attending him as nurse during an illness, sued him for alleged breach of promise, claiming $50,000 damages. The case was settled out of court however. Besides his widow, he is survived by three brothers, John, Ernest and Stephen Hitchens. Dr. E. V. Stokes is a nephew of the deceased. A triangular contest over the will of Mr. Hitchens will probably engage the attention of courts and lawyers for some months. His widow, Madeline Hitchens, will contest for her dower rights, and the three brothers of the deceased have caved the will thru Attorney W. A. Hawkins. The brothers allege that their brother was not of sound and disposing mind and attack the validity of his last marriage. The latter contention brings up an interesting question, as the Maryland law makes it illegal for a white person and a colored one to go out of the State in order to be married and then return here to live. Hitchens names his white adopted son, James L. Hitchens, as executor, and leaves him the bulk of the $100,-000 estate. The widow gets four houses on Rutland avenue. John Hitchens, a brother, is left $100 and the other two brothers get $250 each. St. James Episcopal Church is left $100 and the Maryland Home for Friendless Colored Children is to get $250 should the will be sustained. The will was drawn last November, Warner T. McGuinn being attorney, and two white men are named as witnesses. PHYSICIANS TO MEET Philadelphia, Pa., July 6—Physicians, dents and pharmacists will hold an inter-state convention in this city next week which will be attended by approximately 500 delegates from New York, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. SAYS CHARGES UNTRUE: Rev. Murray Says They Are a Part of Plan To Have Him Jersey City, N. J., July 5—A serious disagreement of Pastor A. L. Murray, of Bethel A. M. E. Church, with his board of trustees resulted in the arrest of the former under the charge of having stolen one hundred chairs valued at $1 each; a clock worth $$; a table valued at $10, and six collection trays each worth $1.50. Moreover, the trustees charge an irregularity in the collections. Pastor, Murray, who was bailed out as soon as arrested, stated that the action of his enemies was a part of the concerted move on foot at the church to oust him as pastor, and over which there has been so much wrangling, including lawsuits and appeals for police protection at the church during various services. He further stated that the charges of "stealing, taking and conveying away of certain chattels," was entirely untrue, "that he had no need for these above named articles only as used in performing the duties as pastor of the church, and why stal them." It appears that the warrant for Pastor Murray's arrest was obtained some time before, and was only served when it seemed certain he was on the point of electing a new board of trustees more favorable to his plans of running things, and incorporating the church again to his liking. Finding a lock on the door of the church upon his return from the lock-up, and notice posted that another would conduct the regular Sunday services, Pastor Murray obtained an order from the Court restraining the trustees from keeping him out. He was present and occupied a front seat, but took no part in their services. People in the neighborhood disturbed by the frequent and lively church meetings, asked the police to close the church. This was done. SUMMER SCHOOLS OPEN With an enrollment of 300, the summer classes at the Division Street School began Wednesday. Principal William H. Lee and his assistants, Messrs Herbert Frisby, William Anderson, George A. Owens and Lewis H. Lee, had their hands full. Owing to the heavy enrollment no more pupils can be taken this summer. All the pupils were deficient in some study at the close of the public schools in June and the summer classes are to enable the mto make up their deficiencies by the time the schools resume sessions in September. The East Street School had upwards of 200 to enroll. The teachers there are Messre H. Grafton Browne, principal; Howard M. Gross and Elmer Henderson. Classes for deficient high school pupils were started at the latter school more than a week ago with an attendance of about two hundred. Prof. Mason A. Hawkins is the principal. CYRUS ST CLAIR BURIED Cambridge, Md., July 6—Prominent citizens from many parts of the State were present at the funeral of Mr. Cyrus St Clair, which took place from Waugh M. E. Church Monday afternoon. The services were in charge of stev. D J. Hargis, pastor of the church who paid a glowing tribute to the deceased merchant. Among the many prominent white citizens present was former Governor Goldsborough, who had been a life-long friend of Mr. St. Clair. Messrs. George A. Watty, J. W. Hakkins, Thomas R. Smith and Dr. Sharies H. Fowler, all of Baltimore, acted as honorary palesters.

Stirred to Action Over Recent Horror In Waco Texas Issues Appeal For $10,000 Fund To Bring Perpetrators of Fiendish Crime To Justice. Two Thousand Dollars Already Subscribed THE FIRST TIME THE WORLD WAS READING THE NEW YORK TIMES. "THE VICTIM", before being dragged thru the streets ```markdown ``` Waco, Texas Mob-A type of 2843 "American Picnics" in the last 31 Years The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been stirred to action by the report of its special investigator, who began the gathering of evidence of the "Waco Horror," forty-eight hours after it occured. The presence of fifteen thousand witnesses together with the dozens of souvenir post cards made it comparatively easy to obtain the names and addresses of the leaders of the mob as well as to establish the criminal negligence of the sheriff and judge. The Association is aiming to bring the criminals to justice. The National President, Morefield Storey, and Mr. Philip G. Peabody, both of Boston, pledged $1,000 each provided the remaining $5,000 be raised by August 1st, toward a fund to be known as the Anti-lynching Fund. By publicity of this affair, by legal persecution, by cooperation with the best white element of the South, and by political agitation, the Association confidently believes it can make another horror like this impossible. THE CRIME. The Association's investigator found that the inactivity of the sheriff was due to political reasons. He is up for reelection in July and his opponent is very popular on account of the fact that he had "three dead niggers" to his credit." The murder of Mrs. Pryer on Monday, May 5th, came at just the right time. Jesse Washington, a youth of seventeen, confessed to both murder and rape and came up for trial on May 18. The little court room was filled by a crowd of 1500, while 2000, who could not get in wafted in the court yard. "THE VICTIM", before b Jige R. I. Monroe, making no effort protect his charge, went on with the Mob Interferes. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty and assessed the punishment as death. The defendant had waved his legal rights and would have been langed that same afternoon. Before the court could pronounce judgment, and without the protest of the judge, the prisoner was bound and dragged to the City Hall square. Every possible violence was offered to the youth on the way to the burning; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up. his body was a solid color of red, the blood of many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot. Then on the lawn just outside of the Mayor's window, a chain was thrown over the --- limb of a tree, and this bloody thing lifted into the air—while the fire was being lighted. As the chain tightened around his neck, the boy's fingers reached up instinctively to grab it, so they cut them off. The Torture. Unsexed, without fingers, ears or toes or other members of the body, which were cut off by the mob-of fifteen thousand, gathered on the scene "as if by magic" when it heard that the mob had taken possession of the prisoner, the creature was lowered into the fire and began to burn. At this the crowd overflowing the lawn and the square, hanging from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way his satisfaction Dragged Through Colored Section. A cowboy, who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassosing the corpse and dragging it through the town. The head fell off in the colored section, where some small boys extracted the teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as five dollars apiece. The fragments that held together till night, the undertaker was able to chuck into a very small ash can. Waco is a centre of American culture in Texas. It has a population of 40,000, with 39 white and 24 colored churches. This is the horror that has stirred the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to action and the effort to raise an anti-lynching fund of ten thousand dollars. being dragged thru the streets FACTORY TURNED OVER In a factory of the Schofeldt Company in Peoria, Ill., colored women only are employed. Two weeks ago there were only 62, now 100 are at work, and the possibility is that 25 or 50 more will be engaged. Ordinarily the seeding of cherries is not a difficult job until you try to do it without leaving any trace of the removal of the seed. That is what these women are doing in this factory. They at in long rows at wooden tables and seed white cherries all day long, taking special pains to do it in such a manner that the necessary break where the seed is extracted is as smooth as possible. This factory using foreign cherries, is one of the largest producers of maracinos in the country ```markdown ``` THE AFRO-AMERICAN PASS CITY EXAMINATION.

Commenting on a recent reference in the New York Times to Governor Charles S. Whillman's order to recruit a regiment of colored soldiers for the New York national guard. Charles N. Swift, a former United States army officer, in a letter to the Times says: "Your article on the admission of a Negro regiment into the New York national guard was, on the whole, well written. But you thought Governor Whillman went a bit too far in saying: 'History shows that our Negro soldiers have always rendered distinguished service to the country.' "As an officer of United States colored troops in the civil war and having made the subject a study ever since, trying over and over again to have such a regiment admitted to the national guard. I side with Governor Whitman, for I yet have to know of their having shown the white feather, from the Revolution to the present time. "They were and are true Americans. If admitted to the national guard the noted Seventh will have worthy competitors in drill and discipline, and the city will be proud of its colored troops."

Church evicts Pastor." News item. Not the Bethel Church this city, but the one in Jersey City, N. J. "If we die faster than other folks and are born slower, what is the answer? queries the Louisville News. Ask the North American Indian. A closed house is an invitation to burglars. If you are going away for a day or two or longer, be sure that windows and doors are fastened securely, and notify the police of your intended absence. --- "The Negro cavalrymen received a tremendous ovation from the white folks when they crossed the border, but if they wanted to cross Texas they could not ride in the white man's car," says the Boston Transcript. Yep, anyone who is foolish enough to enlist in "Jimcrow" company sanctions the existence of a separate car system. This is the worst part about it. No one in New York is ever surprised at anything unusual—that goes without saying. Yet the manager of the Quality Amusement Company had his eyes opened last week, when a youthful chap swung into the office and applied for the job of leading man in the "Master Mind" now being produced by a stock company. The youngster stated that he had performed in amateur roles since he was fifteen, showed very flattering credentials of his work in college dramatics, and announced his indulgent willingness to take a leading role in the stock company during the summer months. He was very much chagrined when informed that the part would be given to a player of experience, and returned home, resolved to give up dramatics altogether. Naturally the stage will suffer a severe blow. LYNCHING RECORDS Records kept at Tuskegee show that there have been 25 lynchings during the first six months of the year while the Crisis figures show 31 lynchings for the first five months alone. The special facilities for the gathering of such data in the hands of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People make it probable that its count rather than that of Monroe Work's is correct. Whether the one or the other is to be accepted is a matter of little concern except that the Tuskegee Research Division draws the conclusion that there were fewer lynchings this year than last, and prematurely congratulates the country upon the improvement. This would not be the case were the statement of the Crisis Bureau regarded as correct. Horrors like the most recent one at Waco, Texas, indicate that this is not the time for thanksgiving and congratulation, but for the filing of protests in the halls of the National and State legislatures, earnest soliciting of cooperation of the best elements of the white and black South, prayerful entreaty that black men resist when there is the slightest chance of having the law take its course, a publicity campaign that will cause every American to see how frightfully un-American the practice is, and finally a National subscription to the N. A. A. C. R. Anti-Lynching Fund. To realize the immediate need of curbing mob law, it is only necessary to go over the list of crimes charged to the victims of it. Five only were charged with rape. Other causes were killing policemen, assisting son accused of murder to escape, robbing store, insult, brushing against a girl in the street and slapping a boy. From this it is apparent that it is not what is done that determines lynching, but who does it, and how much the town is in need of a "diversion." Organizations like the Association of Southern Church Colleges, representing upwards of forty of the leading colleges, and recently started in order to enlist the Southern colleges in antimob work, show the interest of that class of white people in the South, which is not responsible for the lynchings. Those who are responsible for it, are the ones that must be reached, and can be deterred by the use of the means mentioned above. CELEBRATION AT THE PARK The remark of an elderly lady on the day after the "Safe and Sane" celebration at Drudid Hill Park that "I am almost sorry I went, because I have been so stiff today that I could hardly get about," is to be accepted as an argument in favor of such community gatherings rather than the contrary. Even the elderly folk had such a splendid time that they tended to over exert themselves. What the old lady really meant was, not that she was sorry she went, but that she was sorry her muscles showed the result of the unwonted exercise the next day. The truth is, that this is the highest compliment that could be paid the management of the celebration. The stiffness of the muscles will be over in a few days, and anyhow, who could mind stiffness when for a whole day beauty and brightness of nature were allowed to work their will. Moreover, if the elders enjoyed the occasion in spite of themselves, what must be said of the younger people and the children, who played and romped to their heart's content, exhibiting the while voracious appetites that disposed of many boxes of luncheon, and made the park so ring with their shouts of laughter and pure happiness that the ancient Druids under the sod slept less soundly for one day. Mr. Harry T. Pratt and his public spirited committee, who were hosts to the twenty thousand on this occasion, deserve the heartiest commendation for their efficient service. Not only were the exercises well planned and admirably executed, but the committee raised by public subscription more than one hundred and sixty dollars in order to defray the expenses incurred The thing was worth doing, and it was worthly done. UNWILLING TO FIGHT From the New England States where the colored people are too few to form companies to the Southern States where the formation of colored military companies is forbidden, the mobilization of the National Guards has called forth an expression of Negroes' willingness or unwillingness to fight. In many sections, men like Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee and Judson Lyons in the West, with apparent good faith and rich verbage offered the lives and hearts of thousands of colored men for service in Mexico. The many protests that followed these rash statements is convincing enough that more people are unwilling than m.willing. The Los Angeles Tribune gives a very clear reason therefore, when it says, "A country good enough to die for ought to be good enough to vote in." Meanwhile, the only colored unit in Maryland, the First Separate Company is mustered in after all the other troops are on the border. But not mustered in for drill or for service, no, no: They will clean up the camp and pack away State equipment, then, perhaps drill and other things will be considered. ATTENDANT AND GROOM Mr. C. H. Figs, one of the attendants of the recent Rawlings-Holmes wedding, became a. benedict himself within an hour of the marriage of his friend. Mrs. Figs, before her marriage was Miss Leia G. White of Lynchburg Va., and a domestic science teacher in Baltimore County. The bride was given away by her father, Mr. Wm. J. White, of Lynchburg. A cousin of the bride was bridesmaid. She was dressed in white taffeta and carried a bouquet of pink rose-buds. The best man was Mr. Percy P. Clark. The couple, as the guests of Mr. Jas. Curtis, his wife and sister-in-law, Mrs. Moten, motored to Philadelphia for their wedding trip. The Rev. George F. Bragg performed the ceremony. The couple will reside at 1224 Druid Hill avenue. 1 "Safe and Sane" Celebration at Druid Hill Park-The Pageant A "DRY" BALTIMORE The temperance forces of Baltimore are lining up for a strenuous campaign, from now until November 7th. For many years appeals have been made to the legislature at Annapolis for the enactment of a law that would give the privilege to decide for or against the continuance of the sale and manufacture of liquor for beverage purposes. Nothwithstanding the failures in the past they have presented their claim with unabated zeal. During these long years of agitation there has steadily developed a most healthy sentiment for temperance reform. This situation is due to the tireless efforts of the Prohibition party, Anti-Saloon League, Women's Christian Temperance Union and other temperance activities. The members of the last legislature were confronted by such an avalanche of petitions demanding legislation on this particular phase of our social order that they reluctantly passed a measure that limits the voting of certain wet political units. Baltimore will be the center of the liveliest fight of the present campaign Here the liquor interests have large investments, and will not surrender until they have exhausted every conceivable method that the ingenuity of their netarious business can bring forth In order to cope successfully with the hydra-headed monster, the liquor traffic, there has been organized a Home Defenders Association, for a dry Baltimore. Mr. J. Henry Baker, former president of the Liquor License Board is the president. There is a committee of twenty-five. Rev. C. G. Cummings is a member of the latter committee. All who are in favor of the success of this movement are invited to become members of the same without regard to race or creed. This association represents the unification of all the temperance activities. In this way we are able to present a solid front against the strongly entrenched forces of the liquor traffic. In the camp of the temperance allies there is the unity of all to win, which is the prerequisite of final success. The colored Y. M. C. A. building has been chosen as headquarters so that our people may have every facility and freedom for consultation and advising. Rev. C. G. Cummings is in charge. The Rev. J. N. C. Coggin, D. D. Field Secretary for colored work of the Methodist Temperance Society, has been secured. He is one of the best temperance orators upon the American platform. Dr. Coggin was heard with great satisfaction at Bethel A. M. E. Church, June 12. His sermons at Ames Memorial and First Baptist morning and night respectively will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to hear them. He will be in the city throughout the campaign and his services will be at the disposal of all the churches. The following committees will co-operate in the effort to get the 17,000 colored voters of Baltimore to cast their ballots on November 7th in the interest of prohibition: Press, Rev. W. M. Alexander, Rev. Ernest Lyon and John H. Murphy. Ward organizations, S. S. Booker, Rev. A. J. Mitchell, Rev. C. E. Stewart, Rev. P. C. Neal, and George I. Simms; squeakers and public meetings, Revs J. R. L. Diggs L. Z. Johnson, and D. G. Hill; Women's organizations, Mesdames M. F. Handy, Anna Hitchens, and Emma J. Truxon. In face of the fact that the liquor interests have unlimited money at their command, nevertheless, with the ministers and churches united on this most vital issue, success must be ours, for the Master has promised that the gats of hell shall not prevail against his Church. Advertisement PROTEST AGAINST CLUB The protestants against the transference of the liquor license of the Citizen's Club, from 1714 McCulloh street to 1401 Druid Hill avenue were heard in the Police Commissioners' office on Thursday of last week. Among those who appeared against the club were School Commissioners Chambers, Biggs and Bibbins, Revs. M. J. Naylor, C. G.Cummings, Harvey Johnson, J. W. Sanders, Bishop John Hurst, W. B. Hamer, Mrs. Emma J. Truxon and representatives of Home for the Friendless. A number of white churches, none of which is in the vicinity of the club, also sent letters of protest. City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, Lawyers W. C. McCard and Clarke L. Smith, Dr. E. Verry Stokes, president of the club, and Mr. William White were prominent among those who favored the transference of the license. No action has yet been taken upon the matter by the officials. RECIPIENT AND PRIZE PRESENTATION On Tuesday night, July 11, at 8 p.m., the Safe and Sane Fourth of July Committee, Mr. Harry T. Pratt, Chairman, will present the banner contest for by the Boy Scout organizations at the Druid Hill Park celebration, to the winning troop, No. 14, of Ames M. E. Church, Mr. Charles Patterson, scout master, at Ames church, Rev. A. J. Mitchel, pastor. The public is invited. Admission free. A reception will be tendered scoutmaster Patterson, and his troop, and the scoutmasters by the members and friends of Ames, after the presentation. Scout troops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are expected to be present. AFRICAN MISSIONARIES Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Alston, returned missionaries of the M. E. Church from the continent of Africa, came to Baltimore upon the invitations of the pastors of Ames Memorial, Sharp Street, Metropolitan, Asbury, and John Wesley M. E. Churches and gave lectures on Africa. Rev. Alston is an interesting lecturer and many came out to hear him. His very accomplished wife who was with him in the mission field is also a very splendid talker. She sang and talked at the Young Womens Christian Association while here. CAMPMEETING OPENS The Parkwood Grove Campmeeting of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, held its opening last Sunday at the grove, Belair Road and Valley View avenue. Though the grove was new to many, it was indeed surprising to see so many colored people thereabouts. The grove is well shaded, has good spring water and is just at the carline. It was a general comment among the visitors as to the pleasant surroundings for a five-cent carfare. The meeting opened with prayer and praise service at 11 o'clock. Rev. Matthias Williams, pastor of the church, preached in the afternoon. Rev. William Cure preached at night. The meeting will continue this Sunday. Williams, Annie, E., wife of Peter N., departed this life in full triumph of faith, Thursday, June 22, at 5 o'clock a. m. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord We cannot tell who next may fall. By her devoted husband and mother Peter N. Williams, and Mrs. Louise Coe, 1056 Argyle ave. In sad but loving remembrance of our loving husband and father, William Fletcher Dixon, who died two years ago July 5th, 1914. The month of July once more is here To us the saddest of the year For our loving husband and father it For our loving husband and father it took away took away This month two years ago today. His loving widow and children. WISE—In loving remembrance of Mary C. Wise, who died July 8, 1915, aged 16 years. One less at home. The charmed circlebroken--a dear face Missed day by day from its usual place But cleansed, saved, perfected by grace One more in heaven. One less on earth. Its pain its sorrow and its toil to share One less the pilgrims daily cross to bear One more the crown of the blest to wear. At home in heaven. By her Mother and Father. GRESHAM—In loving remembrance of our dear son, James E. Gresham, who died July 10, 1905. Sleep on dear son and take your rest God took you home, He thought it best It was hard indeed to part from thee But God's strong arm supported us. Son you don't know how we miss you Miss you more than words can tell Every hour and day that passes ings us nearer with you to dwell By his parents, sister and brother THE FORUM Since black soldiers and sailors helped this country in '61, my father being one of the latter, I would like to know why they do not want us now. Since, too, the government sees fit to ignore the patriotism of black recruits, why should it have sent black men first to be killed? Fleecy locks and black complexion Ne'er can forfeit nature's claim Skins may differ, but patriotism Dwells in white and black the same. SUNDAY SCHOOL ELECTION The annual election of officers and teachers of Allen A. M. *E.* Sunday School, was held at the Sunday School board meeting in the church on Friday evening of last week.

Chicago, Ill.—Things are looking sad around Chicago, and I was wondering what the trouble was with the good Chicago people. I looked in the glass and found that I was really in mourning. I could not understand all this, and it has been going through my mind for a long time. All at once the solution came. I went back to just a little more than fifty years ago, when the white people were looking just like our people were looking when I struck town. I was not here long before I was into all of it. You see, as I write you, this country is on the eve of going to war with Mexico, and the sons and husbands and fathers of the women belong to the fighters and they had been ordered to march for a fight. They had been ordered to Springfield, Ill., and there to be sworn to do real army service. These men are as active as a big red ant looking for his food. They are leaving home just as me and General Grant did, knowing not what is in store for them. They don't know who will be called upon to stop bullets, because some stopping must be done. Little pieces of lead are going to fly in the air and they are going there to kill if possible. So this will give you a slight idea of what will be expected of us and what we will have to do. I was a young man, over fifty years ago, when me an. General Grant had all this to do. I tell you it takes a brave man to enter the race this year. The men who are at the head of affairs now are young men, and it is hard for a young man of our race to get into this thing. We fought because we had something to gain. We were being talked about, shot about and killed about. Sons and daughters and fathers and sisters were all invited to come. Now they go in for country and will die, if need be, for it. They love their country just like mothers love their children. You see we are shot down, hanged without trial, burned at the stake, and almost served to the people for eating purposes. Right in the face of the conflict the other day, a lot of men took a poor boy, who had been tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged, and dragged him to the pace they had appointed and burned his body. There were men and women, children and preachers who saw all this. Mobbed with impunity, burned at the stake, and with a President many of our best people helped to elect, yet he will not give us any recognition, and I hope h will be so far behind that people will think that he belonged to the next race. I hope that the people will sit down on the President in good shape and the next President of th United States will be Charles E. Hughes. I must here say to my President good-bye and I hope you may never return to the Presidency, although I love you and the position you hold today. But I must not take up your time if talking about the war just now. I stand ready to go if I am caled upon to go, but my age is against me. I have a good war record and will not have to make it again. I have been going a little bit since I wrote you last and have been seeing a few things. It was in Frankfort where I wrote to you last week, and then I got up real bright and early in the morning to find out about their mother. In other words, I got up and started for Cynthiana, Ky., where the consolidated Baptist Educational Sunday School Convention was holding full sway, and I went up in company with the president from Frankfort. Just a word here. Miss Martha E. Williams is superintendent, and she is some officer, believe me. She has been in the Sunday School business ever since she was knee high to a grasshopper, and that grasshopper and all his grass have died ere this. She is still in the work and has a big Sunday School convention. Miss Williams has been teaching in the public schools of Frankfort ever since there have been public schools there, and she has accumulated a deal of property, and I believe money too. You will note that she is still Miss. the convention is noted for not having any points of order or anything like that, but just a Sunday school convention. You will have the pleasure of meeting her when she comes to Baltimore to the meeting of the National Federation of Women's Clubs. I had the pleasure of seeing 300 men, women boys and girls in a parade through the streets. It was a Sunday school parade and the people just shouted for Jesus Christ and taking the world for Him. I shook hands with Editor William H. Steward, Moderator Charles Parish, of the general convention, Rev. Charles, Dr. B. Butter, Rev. Lanier and a number of others. I could just take up a whole paper telling you about these people. It was a big convention, and I enjoyed it from start to finish. I then started out to find this place and succeeded in finding it. It was a real nice ride from Cynthiana, to this place. I will have to stop here for a little while. I am reminded that Young's Book Exchange, 135: W. 135th street, New York is something new under the sun. They have collected books that have been written by men and women of our race and have made it a business to push these publications and will supply you with any book in print from this race of ours. I tell you this will mean much. There are some rare and valuable books that should be in the hands of our young people, for they will help them to --- LINOTYPE The Afro-American Company has just installed this latest model three-magazine typesetting machine at a cost of $3,600, in keeping with its policy to give the public the best news service possible. With this machine we will be able to give our readers nearly twice as much news as before and in a much more readable style. think and to see what they can do or say. I want to congratulate Mr. Young on making a field for himself and to wish that he will live long. Six feet of earth should cover up all mistakes and errors of men, and when one is gone we should not put on canvas his errors, but find his deeds of kindness and good and put them on paper that others may read. Just a few days, the country was informed that Rev. W. R. Tolliver was no more, that he had been called to judgment. He was well known throughout the country. He was yet a young man just in the prime of life. He had hardly started life, because I doubt whether or not he had reached forty. I had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Mr. Tolliver in many places and visit him at one or two of his charges. He had a wife and one boy. He died at Nashville, Tenn. RIDERWOOD HAPPENINGS A surprise birthday party was given to Miss Berdenia Levere at the home of her sister, Mrs. Millie Proctor, on the Fourth of July. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. John F. Johnson, of Timonium; Thelma Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Wade H. Levere, of Warren and Miss Agnes Johnson of Timonium. CATONSVILLE NOTES. Catonsville, Md., July 5—Master Phillip Lowman, son of J. W.

COUNTY SCHOOLS FIELD DAY What probably marks the entrances of the Public Athletic League into the athletic events of the Baltimore county and eventually of the whole state is the first annual field and track day of the Baltimore County Colored Schools on July 1st. Rain on the day originally planned for the meet caused a postponement, but in spite of this nearly five hundred were present. Messrs. Wilson and Webb, who have done good service in local athletic events were, in charge of the work and put the youngsters thru their paces. The silver trophy cup was won by the Roland Park school with 27 points Catonsville 2nd, with 22; Mt. Winns 3rd, 20; Cockeysville and Lutherville 5 each tied for fourth place; Towson 5, 4 points. Nathan Blocker a 12 year old pupil of Mt. Winns scored sixteen of his schools twenty points with first place in the 50-yard dash, broad jump, 3 standing jump and relay race. Costin of Cockeysville performed, well in the 70-yard dash and should develop into a splendid rider. The officials were: W. L. Wilson, referee and judge; M. A. Dorsey, scorer and clerk of the course; J. Nicholas, principal, Towson, judge; M. Wright, principal Roland Park, judge; G. Biddle, principal; Mt. Winans, assistant clerk. MEETING OF CLUBWOMEN.

Washington president, will be held in Baltimore for five days, beginning Sunday, Aug. 6. The sessions will be held in the Bethel A. M. E. church. Clubwomen all over the country are making ready for the coming convention of enthusiastic workers for racial advancement. The slogan of the women is "On to Baltimore," their watchword is "Service," and their loyalty is centered in the efforts and ideals of their chieftain, Mrs. Washington. Miss Anna Jones of Kansas City, Mo., is chairman of the program committee. She is working zealously to have the best program since the inception of the organization. There will be an interesting symposium on woman suffrage, and there will be representatives from several of our national bodies who will make reports—namely the National League on Urban Conditions, the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, per W. Butler Wilson, Esq.; the Young Women's Christian association, per Misses Bowles and Pinyon, and the Women's Christian Temperance union. Other features of the program will be a report by Mrs. Mary K. Talbert of Buffalo, vice president at large, on her transcontinental trip, when in eleven states she delivered a thrilling message to the women of our race. The following named persons are among the notables who are to be heard at the coming meeting: Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter, Chicago; Mrs. Eva Moore, Illinois; Mrs. M. C. Lawton; Mrs. Alice M.

It would be so much nicer not to be grouchy’and unpleas- ent. Now here comes a woman who has always a fault: to find—and you must Jisten to it—or the man who gan always tell you how to run your Spsiness better than you can; or the man—no matter how hard his wifo may try—who.never can sit down to a men) without finding fault either with the cooking or the way the table is et. Or perhans. the woman has the ex- euso for not getting a proper ‘meal. She is too tired or she. did not feel Uke cooking and John or Dick—who- ever he is—expects so much, All little things that do not amount to a pinch of snuff, but tend to make things dls- agrecable. But meet him or her out from home and’ thoy are so nice and polite and agreeable that you think they are the “Jovliest person" you over met: ‘Then there are the people with the grouch, who worry everybody with their troubles: No matter who you are—if a perfect stranger—you must isten to all their troubles, their likes and dislikes and why life is disagree- ‘able in general. ‘Then: there. is the person who. will hurt your: feelings, seemingly uncon- acious of doing so, but the same time it was intentional. ‘Then there is the girl who has “al- ways had her own way," no mater how or by what meuns. she employs, by hook or crook, her way she must have. ‘Anything to get your attention, who always plays the game to be the centre of attraction; when it will not work by ordinary methods she will refuse to eat, or go out with the family.

All this for atten- tion. If she docs not succeed in get- ting the attention she will worry some one telling them how setfish and mean everybody is to her and she docs not! know why. Do you know the people who. say they havo few friends? They will send you an invitation to a dance or an at-home or something clse and wait until an hour or two before the affair to sond it; then wonder why you id not come, When they see you, they ‘will tell you that you acted selfish or @id not care enough to come to an affair in which they were intereste:. They will also tell your friends how selfish you are and how you treated them—always a grouch, No matter what such people atterc pt they lose out, and though you may tell them why, they can’t see it that way.
