No. 8 MUST IMPROVE LIVING CONDITIONS Equal Rights League to Inform Southern Governors Regarding Negroes SOUTH IS ALARMED At the Exodus of Its Dependable Laboring Class to Washington. October 13.—If the South wants to stop the migration of the colored people to the North and West, where better living conditions and better wages await them, the South will have to change its attitude toward the race. Democratic Governors of Southern States will be told this by members of the industrial commission of the NationalianEqual Rights League. The commission, which is composed of Rev. Dr. James E. Churchman, Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett and F. Morris Murray, met here Wednesday to consider a plan of action. The committee realized that the industrial South is much alarmed over the possible loss of its dependable labor class, and is desirous that it remain in that section of the country. The commission purposes bringing to the attention of the Governors that the South must offer the same privileges and endowments to the race that the North and West are now offering in order to prevent a hurtful exodus. The annual session of the National Equal Rights Longue, which followed the Race Citizenship Congress was held here last Friday. Various phases discussed and various forms of racial discriminations were denounced. The administration of President Wilson came in for a good deal of criticism. The following officers were elected: Rev. Eyron Gunn, Hillburn, N. Y.; president; Ida I. B. Wells Barnett; Chicago; vice president; W. Monroe Trotter, Boston, corresponding secretary; James L. Neil, Washington, recording secretary; Dr. Sinclair, Philadelphia, financial secretary; Rev. J. M. Churchman, organizer; Thomas Walker, Washington, treasurer; Maurice Spencer, Wilmington, Del., chairman of executive committee, and F. Morris Murray, Washington, secretary of executive committee. Bishop I. N. Ross, Revs. C. H. Stepeau, James E. Churchman and A. C. Garner are among the other members of the executive committee. The National Race Citizenship Congress elected the following officers: Rev. M. F. Sydes, Providence, R. I. chairman; Rev. C. H. Steptenau Washington, vice president; Rev. James E. Churchman, recording secretary; William Warley, Kentucky, corresponding secretary; Thomas Walker, Washington, treasurer; Rev. R. S. Johnson, Virginia, chaplain; Elbert W. Powell, California, sergeant-at-arms. SEGREGATION AT DENVER Denver, October 12.—The segregation fever has hit certain prejudiced whites here, who have banded themselves into a body called the Denver Property Owners' Protective Association. They called a meeting for whites only at the City Hall last Monday, and thought that they would drive in "urguments" that would make the City Council pass a segregation ordinance forthwith. To their surprise, however, they found many colored people at the City Hall also. The colored people made a big protest. City Attorney Marsh has ruled against a segregation law, saying that the United States Supreme Court has a case now pending before it attacking the validity of segregation laws. He also says that it would cost $40,000 to initiate the law, a needless expense. The segregationists are now threatening to invoke the initiative and referendum. Hoodlums have tried to intimidate some colored people who have moved into "white neighborhoods." Kittrell, N. C., Oct. 11—While the students and faculty were at supper Monday evening, fire completely destroyed the structure at Kittrell College known as the Dickerson Building. This building was one of the landmarks of the college, for years being used as a dormitory for boys. The loss is but partially covered by insurance. Kittrell College has for years figured most prominently in the educational life of the State, and with an enrollment greatly exceeding that of any previous session, a most successful school year had been anticipated. President O'Kelly' assurance that the work will continue without interruption is a source of much inspiration and satisfaction to the patrons and friends of the college. FR. DORSEY CONDUCTS SUCCESSFUL MISSION Rev. J. Henry Dorsey, one to the four colored Catholic priests in the country, has been conducting a successful mission for non-Catholics at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church. At each service he has given an illuminating exposition of the doctrines of the church. He defended the non-marriage of priests and asserted that though most teachers were unmarried, they led moral lives. He said that purity was not dependent upon single blessedness or marriage. Porty Hours Devotion begins Sunday. Father Dorsey will bring the mission to a close Sunday night, when he will preach on "The Greatest Gift of God to Man." Prominent among the subjects discussed by Father Dorsey during the week were "The Church and the Bible." "The veneration of the Immaculate Mother of God" and "Why I am a Catholic." He also discussed the divorce evil from every angle, scoring those who would marry divorced people, and declaring that a true marriage cannot be dissolved, according to the moral law. EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS AT "FENNEL'S CORNER" When improvements now being made at Fennell's Drug Store, Druid Hill avenue and Biddle street, are completed, it will not only be the largest colored drug store in the city, but for appointments and general convenience, will be a model in modern drug store construction. The improvements will consist mainly of adding over twenty feet to the main store, a commodious laboratory and new and up-to-date fixtures. The store now occupied by the Griffin Barber Shop and the entrance to the apartments over the stores, will be taken into the drug store. Mr. Griffin will be provided with an up-to-date barber shop next door to his present location and entrance to the apartments will be at the extreme end of the building. Mr. Fennell is making the present improvements in order to keep up with his increasing business. The cost of the work will be close to five thousand dollars. Mr. Fennell started in as proprietor of the drug store at its present location less than ten years ago and has been uniformly successful in building up a large and lucrative business. FINE COLORED THEATRE FOR ROANOKE, VA Brounoke, Va., Oct. 12—Announcement was made yesterday that Ronnoke is to have a colored theatre, excavations for the foundations of which have already begun. It is claimed that it will be the finest and largest colored amusement establishment in the South. It will be known as the Hampton Theatre, inc., named after the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute at Hampton, Va. No definite date has been set for the opening, but it is expected that the building will be ready to open its doors December 1. This theatre will be modern in its appointments and will have a seating capacity of 1,000 persons. It will be an expensive pressed brick building adorned with magnificent marble trimmings. Entrance a tile floor will be laid, and to the left will be located the president's office, which will be enclosed in glass. The interior will be handsomely furnished, and cushioned seats will be installed. An asbestos' drop, curtain, silverine and state scenery will be put in. The place will be ventilated with an electric exhaust fan ventilator. According to the plans, besides the auditorium, there will be a parquet and a balcony. MAGAZINE EDITOR IN TOWN Prof. Allen W. Whaley, editor of the Human Rights and Equal Chance Magazine, Boston, was a visitor here this week. He visited the Afro-American office, local educational institutions and other points of interest. He expects to return to this city in December to deliver an address at Morgan College. DEFEATS GOVERNOR'S COUSIN Denver, Col., Oct. 11.—To not only get both the Demo-ratic and Republican nominations for justice of the peace, but to beat the Governor's cousin, is the good fortune of O. T. Jackson a colored Democrat. He is a candidate for justice of the peace at Deerfield and his defeated opponent is a cousin of Governor Carlson. FOR A NEW Y. M. C. A. Pittsburgh, Pa., Oct. 12- Julius N. Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, has promised the colored Y. M. C. A. $25,000; provided $75,000 more is raised. The proceeds will be used in erecting a new building, J. E. Moorland, international secretary, was hele last Saturday, mapping out a program to begin the raising of $10,000 among the colored people. TO FIGHT DISCRIMINATION Brooklyn, N. Y., October 12—A number of representative men and women met at the Y. M. C. A. last Saturday night, to consider making a protest against theaters that discriminate against colored patrons. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1916 HAMPTON MAKES A FINE START Moar Allen Washington Enthusiastic Over Fine Organization Many Boys and Girls Refused Admission Because of Lack of Accommodations. Hampton, Va., Oct. 8—Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton institute, and well-known successor to Dr. Robert R. Moton (now principal at Tuskegee) is enthusiastic over the way Hampton has begun its 49th year of activity. Te says: "We had to turn away more students than ever before. A great many boys and girls who made application had to be refused on account of the lack of accommodation. Next year, however, we shall have our new dormitory—James Hall—fully completed. About one-third of it is almost finished now. "I think there is an improvement in the student material this year over last year. The young men are better developed physically and mentally. More students than ever passed the Hampton examinations. We have less than four who failed absolutely. There is hopefulness in the idea that the schools on the outside are giving students better preparation than ever before. "Our military organization was under way the first day. It has worked right along with the academic organization. The boys fell into companies and marched into dinner the first day. The battalion had been carefully organized the day before school opened and everything was in readiness for a prompt beginning. All our plans had been made before the students arrived, consequently the boys fell right into their places when they came. "We hope to improve the drilling from year to year. We take up our drill with the individual. We advance from the individual to the squad, and from the squad to the company and from the company to the battalion. We also hope to have special setting-up exercises, such as have been used at Plattsburg, N. Y., in the training camp. When the weather is good the military work will be carried on out of doors. When the weather is bad we shall have lectures on some special military topic or something pertaining to general health and uplife. "We have with us from week to week, Captain Adelino Gibson of the Const Artillerier School at Fort Monroe, who has for the past two years given us excellent service. This year we have plans for much greater things than before. Captain Gibson will very likely bring with him some other Fort Monroe officers, who will help in military operations." Chicago, Oct. 8.—Committees on which the Mayor, Senator George F. Harding, Congressman Martin B. Madden and many men of prominence are placed, were appointed last night at a big gathering in the Eighth regiment armory to set the stage for a warm homecoming reception to the colored troops and arrange for positions for those who find themselves out of employment. "Citizens of Chicago should see to it jealousy that the Eighth is as proudly received as either of the regiments which have already been returned to Chicago," said Congressman Madden, "and places for those who are out of positions should be provided at once." Congressman Madden is chairman of the committee on employment. With him are Mayor Thompson, Medill Mormick, Alderman Huh Norris, Senator Harding and Alderman Oscar De Priest. The Eighth is expected to return to Illinois this week. MORAL CURFEW LAW Ronoke. Va. October 8—Several societies having for their objects the uplift of the race in this section have taken another step towards the improvement of the colored youth. Through the Juvenile Protective Association, they have arranged with the various motion picture houses catering to colored people to permit no children under 16 years of age. In the shows after eight o'clock at nights, this is a step towards the establishment of a plan to have the children off the street at night when they are more apt to come in contact with evil influences. The organizations believe that by putting into effect a moral curfew law, among younger children they will be able to make better men and women out of them. DISCUSS QUESTION OF RACE BISHOPS General Convention of P. E. Church Opens Sessions in St. Louis. DR. G. F. BRAGG PRESENT St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 12.—The fourth-fourth general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church began its sessions here in Moohol temple, Wednesday. Bishop Thomas F. Gallor, of Tennessee has been elected chairman of the house of bishops and Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann was relected president of the house of deputies, which is composed of the ministry and laity of the church. Prominent among the questions to come before the convention at this session, and which has already received a great deal of discussion, is the question of the formation of colored dioceses to be presided over by suffragan bishops of the race. Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg, of Baltimore, Md., and Rev. James K. Satterwaite of Raleigh, N. C., are here in interest of the proposition, as representatives of the Conference* Church Workers coAmong Colored People of the Episcopal Church. They have presented the following petition to both houses of the convention: Beloved in the Lord:—The Conference of Church Workers among Colored People, assembled in the city of Philadelphia, September 26th, 1915, respectfully petition the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, meeting in the city of St. Louis, in October of the present year, to ratify the Majority Report of the Joint Commission on the Racial Episcopate. The conference regards the decision of that report, as a wise and helpful expedient in the present state of unrest and perplexity which characterizes the spirit of the colored members of the church in America; and it is further, the decided belief of this conference that with the provisions of that report put into operation, the church work among the colored people of the land would be more vigorously and successfully prosecuted. In view of the fact that the commission has made its report, the necessity of further discussion of the question at petition begs to say, that the feature of the proposed legislation providing for a Council of Advice, consisting of the Bishops in the dioceses from which the missionary district may be established, and with such rights and duties as may be prescribed by the House of Bishops, is, in the judgment of this conference, a guarantee of such wise and helpful administration as will secure the greatest harmony, peace and concord on the part of all concerned. The Liberian Situation In view of the forecast of the action of the General Convention with reference to the Episcopal succession in Liberia, made by the editor of the "Spirit of Missions," in the current issue of that publication, it is herew expressed as the solemn sense of this conference that a colored man, preferably a native Liberian, should be consecrated as the successor of the late lamented Samuel David Ferguson, Bishop of the Republic of Liberia, and Doctor of Divinity The Liberian Mission, under the guiding hand of its late beloved Bishop, has, in every way, justified its existence, and reflected honor upon him who in the providence of God, had been, for more than thirty years, its captain and helmsman. One of the accomplishments of that important, prosperous, but difficult work, was the production of men of scholarship and signal leadership; and from their number one amply competent, in head and heart, might readily be found to assume the burdens, responsibilities and honors from whose stewardship the late Bishop has recently been called to account and reward. Moreover, Bishop Ferguson's administration of, and methods used in, the schools of his jurisdiction produced Africans who filled the most important offices in the Liberian Republic. Surely, if Bishop Ferguson could rear men to fill various important posts in Liberia, from minor position of government to the Presidency, he certainly must have left survivors qualified to become Bishops in the church of God. Of Bishop Ferguson's work, and worth the article in the "Spirit of Missions" above referred to make full acknowledgment, and this earnest plea that the successor of that able executive and godly man be a member of his own race is based upon the certain knowledge of the moral quality, mental equipment, and the intellectual attainments of churchmen upon Liberian soil, and the unshaken belief that such men are worthy of all confidence that may be reposed in them. As no man's competence can be determined in advance of test, it is the conviction of this conference that every sense of fitness and propriety demands the elevation of another man of color to lead for God the forces of righteousness, light and truth, in the struggling Republic of Liberia. PRESBYTERIANS MAY FORM UNION Congregational meetings will be held at Grace and Madison Street Presbyterian Churches on next Wednesday evening, at which time the question of the union of the two churches will be discussed. At a recent joint meeting of the elders of the two churches and a committee of the Presbytery, the union was discussed. While no conclusion was reached, it was decided that the members of the churches be given an opportunity to discuss the question. For some time members in both churches have been urging a union of the two congregations, claiming that because of the small congregations in the two churches, neither has been able to do any real effective work. While those who oppose the union admit these claims, they are of the opinion that the traditions of the church are such as to make it almost impossible for a spiritual union of the two churches. Madison Street Church, located on Madison street near neighborhood, and the membership has been steadily decreasing. Grace is in the heart of the colored population of northwest Baltimore, and many are of the opinion that should the two churches combine and worship at the present edifice occupied by Grace Church, they would not only be able to develop a strong Presbyterian Church, but would be in a position to carry on community work in connection therewith. There is a present indebtedness of some six thousand dollars on the church which, it is claimed, could be more than wiped out by the returns from the sale of the property belonging to the Madison Street congregation. The present indebtedness of Madison Street congregation is said to be less than five hundred dollars, mostly for current expenses. Rev. Leonard Z. Johnson is pastor of the Madison Street Church, while Rev. Thomas H. Lee is acting pastor of Grace Church, having served in that capacity since the resignation of Rev. W. Edward Williams to accept a pastorate in York, Pa. SALISBURY NEWS Salisbury, Md., Oct. 12. —The Wylimico County Teachers' Association held its first meeting on the 7th Inst. Isaac W. Howard, president; Rebecca M. Hawkins, secretary. Addresses were made by Supervisor Prof. Phineas Gordy, the president, and Charles Chipman, vice president. The new compulsory attendance law and school work in general were discussed. New teachers were introduced and welcomed into the organization. It was decided to invite the State Teachers' Association to meet here Thanksgiving. It was decided to meet the second and fourth Saturday in each month. The Surprise Committee, Clinton Collins, chairman, is planning to make the social feature prominent at its meetings. A re-union will occur in the near future. Signed: G. W. Howard, president. SPEND MILLION IN LIQUOR That the colored people spend over $2,700,000 for liquor, yearly in Baltimore was asserted by Rev. C. G. Cummings, at a "dry" rally at Pennsylvania avenue and Hoffman street Wednesday night. "Think of it," the minister went on to say, "a price so poor as ours spending such a big sum of money. Look at the homes made poorer on account of the liquor traffic and of the suffering of wives and children. Vote against liquor and save this large sum of money to feed and clothe these children." Mrs. Eliza Peterson, of Texas and Rev. J. N. Soggins, of Georgia, were among the other speakers. Similar meetings have been held all over the city and will be continued until election day. COLORED WOMEN FOR JUGHES Chicago, Ill., Oct. 12.—That the colored women of this intend to take an active part in the present campaign is evidenced by the recent opening of the Colored Women's Hughes Republican headquarters to aid in securing the sixty thousand colored women in the suffrage States for the Republican nominee. Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsey is chairman of the committee; Mrs. Irene Goines, vice chairman; Mrs. Fanie nier Barrier Williams, chairman of the publicity bureau; Mrs. Ada McKinley, secretary; Mrs. Ella G. Berry, organizer; and Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett, speaker. WRANGLE IN COUNCIL Richmond, Va., October 11. A wrangle occurred in the City Council over a resolution introduced by Councilman. English allowing the colored people free use of the City Auditorium for a concert in aid of the Negro hospital. Councilman Mills objected as the hospital would be located on one of the most prominent thoroughfares. Mr. English lost, out, but one of his friends sent the managers of the concert a check to cover the rental of the auditorium. PRICE THREE CENTS SAMUEL E. YOUNG CALLED TO REST WAS OVER 80 YEARS OLD Took An Active Part in Community and Fraternal Affairs of Baltimore. With all the honors due a P. grand master of Masons, Samuel E. Young was hided to rest in Laurel Cemetery Thursday morning. His funeral services were largely attended and all departments of the Masonic fraternity were represented. Mr. Young died at his home at Overland, Monday, following an illness of about a year. He was a native of Maryland and had passed his eighteenth milestone. During his early life he followed the sea. Later he was steward for the Tolchester Company and filled a similar position on the steamer Dreamland. He was more regarded as a most capable steward and has probably fed more people than any other caterer in Baltimore. He was congenial and numbered among his friends many young people. He was interested in politics some years ago, and was Mayor's messenger during the mayoralty term of the late William T. Malsteer. Mr. Young had also served on the grand jury a number of times. He was one of the oldest and most prominent Masons in Maryland and was active when Masonry was in its zenith in this State. He was a member of Enterprise Lodge, Celestial Chapter of Royal Arch Masons, Rising Sun Commandery of Knights Templar, Jerusalem Temple of the Mystic Shrine, Hiram Consistory and an active thirty-third degree Mason. He served five years as Grand Master of Masons in Maryland and it was during his encumebency that the present hall on Courtland was bought. The deceased was an active member of Asbury M. E. Church for many years, serving as a member of the trustee board and treasurer. He joined St. Mary's Episcopal Church about a year ago. Mr. Young was twice married, Mra Edith Young, his second wife, and several children by a former marriage, are among the surviving relatives. He was also a prominent member of the Knights of Pythias being identified with Hannibal Lodge, and a member of the grand lodge, at one time serving as Grand Chancellor of the State. A committee of the lodge was present at the funeral. SOCIAL WORKERS TO MEET The Maryland Social Service Association will hold a meeting at Union Baptist Church next Wednesday afternoon. The association was formed a few months ago, and its object is to study social, civic and economic questions in their especial relation to the race. Rev. Dr. R. J. L. Diggs is the president and Rev J. W. Winston is secretary. LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER Today, Saturday, is the last chance for men in the city to have their names placed on the voting lists. If the colored men of this city are anxious to aid in turning down Woodrow Wilson from the presidency, they must register. There are only 15,000 colored voters registered in this city and there at least five thousand more eligible. The polls will be open from noon until ten o'clock tonight. Get registered before you go to market and before you go to your barber's, and be sure to cast your vote on November 7 for Hughes and Fairbanks. URGES RACE UNITY That the race should band together to fight proscriptions was urged by Rev. James E. Churchman and other speakers at Union Baptist Church Wednesday night. Dr. Churchman spoke of the work that he contemplated doing as organizer of the National Equal Rights League, and declared that all elements must co-operate if prejudicial measures be overcome. Miss R. E. Bell, of Washington, Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, of Everett, Mass., and Mrs. Manley, of Harrisburg, Pa., made addresses along similar lines. Mrs. Manley is about eighty years of age and was engaged in freeing slaves along the so-called Underground Railroad. She made profound impression. Just before leaving for Philadelphia Thursday, Dr. Churchman declared that he was going to bend every effort in trying to unify various elements. He was a caller at the office of the Afro-American, and displayed deep interest in its equipment. akes a Ride With Mayor of Wichita Kans., and Bishop Wichita, Kans.—It has been said that there is nothing new under the sun, but in my old days I am prepared to dispute it and do that disputing hard. I have been around all over this country, and almost all over the world and I have had my eyes open seeing things, but it took Wichita, Kans., to open my eyes to new things. I reached here on Wednesday morning to attend the Kansas African Methodist Conference, presided over by Bishop H. Blanton Parks, one of the strongest and best men in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He declared that he was glad to see me and I was glad to see him. The conference opened and a good sermon was preached. I looked around and met the pastor, Rev. C. A. Williams. The church indeed is a good one, and I want to congratulate Rev. Williams on the new church, but it is not the new church I am talking about now, but if you will wait I will tell you. This church is one of the finest in the West. The people all served breakfast at home, but dinner and supper were served in the church. When I was through with the eating business, then I met Lawyer E. P. Blakemore, and this was the opening of my eyes to new things. He said to me "Colonel," and I looked wise, "we are going to have an automobile ride for the whole conference and I want you in one of the cars of honor." There was nothing for me to do but to say I would accept. Promptly at 1 o'clock I was told they would start, and little before that hour cars began to roll up. The first car was loaded, which was the private car of the lawyer, then there was the next car, and this to me was an eye opener, because in it were the Mayor of the city, one of the commissioners, Bishop H. Ehlant Parks and Mrs. H. B. Parks. I was in the next car with the three presiding elders, Revs H. W. King, T. J. Smith and J. C. C. Owens. Then in order were all the other preachers, and they covered about 20 miles or more. I am guessing at the miles, but we got to see this man's town, but we saw a mayor before in all of my life, leading the procession of ministers of the gospel. At night that man returned and delivered an able address. He spoke right from the shoulder and heart too. He told how his mother had taught him at her knees the lessons learned from the Golden Rule, also read to him the story "Uncle Tom's Cabin," and the addresses of Owen Lovejoy, Henry Ward Beecher, Wendell Phillips, the story of the struggling race, and these made an impression that time could never ease. With him a man was a man. I am glad that we have a man like the Mayor of this place and then I am glad that we have a man like Lawyer Blakemore who can reach him for his people. We all had a nice time here, but there was something that did not get into the papers happened while in the city. Perhaps it would not do for me to publish it, but it like to have resulted in a killing. There were none of the visitors or members of the conference connected with it, but a man came down representing a weekly paper in the state, and was getting the white folks to pay for a mention in their paper. Now this collector went to a county official to get a hand down for a write up. People are friendly now, because election is on, and this official's wife was unusually friendly and the good man mistook it, and thought it meant love. The woman spoke right out in church, told her father, because her husband was away. The father did not get a mob, but he looked that man up himself, said some things to him, shook his flat in his face and ordered him to leave town: There was some leaving done, and believe me there was some change handed back in time. When I look my pen in hand to spell you a few words ast week I was in Chicago, and I pulled right out for another part of the world. I went to St. Louis, Ill., and then over to St. Louis, Mo. In Illinois, I had the pleasure of taking breakfast with Mrs. Frank Adams. Then over to St. Louis, going into the head parlors where they fix up heads for the kingdom come. It was the Poor College, established by Mrs. A. E. Malone, who has actually discovered something that will make hair grow and in this she has a fortune. When they were trying to get a Y. M. C. A. in St. Louis, she walked up and put down her part of it and that part was $5,000. Our people are not giving in such large amounts. I wish you could have seen the people and the people working in this establishment. I considered it a great thing because so many of our girls were employed in the place. I just shouted right out on the street, and the police started to take me down but I told him I was simply rejoicing over good things I had seen about my own race. I was assigned to the task of a paymaster for a little while and I could just see the wonderful progress. The pay was fixed up in envelopes. The person would come to me with a card I would look at it, get name and number and then hand an envelope with pay check in it. I got mine. Then on to Mexico, to spend a Sunday, stopping with Ivey and Mrs. G. W. Wright, also spending a little time at the home of Mrs. Corine Bodine, and meeting her husband. A. E. Bodine, who is the undertaker of the town. Mrs. Corine Bodine is an active worker in the State, Knights and Daughters of Tabor. She has been for a long time one of the best teachers in the state, but this year she will MR SAMUEL E. HOKING remain home with her mother-in-law for this winter. She resigned her school and her recommendation for her successor was accepted. Then on to Kansas City, Topeka, and on to this place. In Topeka I had the pleasure of meeting Hon. J. M. Wright and his wife and the son, Nick Chiles. H. I. Monroe, went out to the Western Tuskegee, and will have to tell you about it later. "THE FAMILY CUPBOARD" AT THE COLONIAL "The Family Cupboard" the play which has been underlined as the attraction at the Colonial Theatre next week, is coming here from New York City after playing to big houses at the Lafayette Theatre throughout the week. Mr. Owen Davis, the author responsible for the excellent production has injected in "The Family Cupboard" a healthy vein of humor that relieves the otherwise tense situations, and he easily handles a plot that deals with an every day phase of life. From the rise of the first curtain to the last the play grips to attention of the audience, and the colored cast is receiving their fare quota of applause right now in Washington for the splendid and superb manner in which they handle their various parts. Miss Wilkes is an artist who needed only an opportunity and now that it has come she is appearing at her best. Mrs. Chas. H. Anderson who bounded into fame over night, is also another member of the cast spoken of in high terms, and from what we can gather she is taking the part of Kitty Chair in an able manner. Mr. Sidney Kirkpatrick never appeared to better advantage since he has been with the Lafayette players and Baltimore will give him a big welcome in a part that suits him. Baltimoreans will also get another opportunity of seeing their fellow townsman, Clarence Muse, in a part that is very different to that which he has been accustomed to play, but the splendid manner in which he takes the part of a happy-go-lucky vaudevillian in "The Family Cupboard" shows his versatility. On the whole, the Quality people have selected a show that should keep the Colonial well filled all week. MID-YEAR SESSION OF BALTIMORE CONFERENCE The annual mid-year session of the Baltimore Conference will be held at Bethel A. M. E. Church next Thursday. It will be the first session over which Bishop J. Albert Johnson has presided. The bishop is well known to the members of the conference, however, having pastored within its territory. The opening session will be a secret one, only ministers being admitted. It is said that the financial and other conditions of the conference will be considered at the opening session. The public will be admitted in the afternoon and at night. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination, has been invited to deliver an address at the closing session. MARRIED 50 YEARS Surrounded by their nine children, eight grand children and a host of friends, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wilson, of 847 China street, celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of their marriage Tuesday night. They were the recipients of numerous presents including gifts in gold. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were married by the late Rev. Robert Robinson, then pastor of Metropolitan M. E. Church. Her maiden name was Miss Mary Isabella Crew. Mr. Wilson has been working for Woodward, Baldwin Co. for 52 years. He took "french leave" of his employers during the Civil War, however, serving in one of the Maryland regiments. He is an officer in John Wesley Church. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson are enjoying good health. NAZARITES TO MEET The Grand Pasture of the Grand United Order of Nazarites will hold a stated session at Nazarites Hall next Friday night, at which time the annual reports will be made.

BALTIMORE, OCT. 14, 1916 Every advertisement of the liquor people that "prohibition does not prohibit" stamps them as law breakers of the very worst type. If "prohibition does not prohibit," why does it not? Simply because the liquor dealer sets himself fast and hard to nullify every law made to prohibit liquor selling. They supply so-called bootleggers, send advertising matter into dry territory and take advantage of every loop hole and opportunity to break down a law which the majority of good citizens declare they do not want, and then they laugh and say "prohibition does not prohibit." Suppose every druggist would defy the law and sell prohibited narcotics? Suppose every meat dealer would sell doctored meat? Suppose every automobile dealer would defy the law against the careless handling of gasoline, and we might ask the same question of every dealer in prohibited articles, and the answer would be the same, if one man has the right to defy the laws under which he lives in one instance others have a right to do the same thing, and when the community upholds those who defy the law, anarchy must surely come, and that very soon. The liquor forces are fighting with their backs to the wall but the liquor traffic is surely doomed and whether it comes sooner or later the result will be the same; the downfall of the whiskey interests and all connected with them. --- Speaking of the ladies who are storming the West in the interest of the Republican candidate for the presidency, among other things, the Sunpaper of this city makes the statement that one of the ladies, Mrs. Reta Childs Door, has signified her intention of winning the votes of colored women of that section, where Woman Suffrage prevails. The Sunpaper for itself says "But this is the first intimation we have that the Negro vote needs winning." We are of the same opinion as dear old Granny Sunpaper, based largely upon the action of its superb candidate the present occupant of the White House. Four years ago, this gentleman, one-time president of a large university, made some very solemn promises to the Negro voters for the purpose of "winning" them to his side. Not a few believed in his promises but after election the mask fell from his false face, and since that time the Republican party has had little trouble in "winning" the colored voter back to his former allegiance. And this is the reason, dear old Granny Sunpaper, that in this particular election the colored voter will need no "winning" in a campaign in which President Wilson is one of the contestants. WASHINGTON'S NEW HIGH SCHOOL The opening of the new Dunbar High School in Washington two week ago, with special library and music room facilities; two gymnasiums, a wide range, armory, swimming pool, lunch and rest rooms, moving picture machine and pipe organ—in fact all of the modern educational devices for fitting the youth for good citizenship, is an indication that the Capitol of the Nation believes in the best training available for the colored youth. A large increase in attendance., say the Washington authorities, is not expected immediately, altho it is confidently hoped to hold a number of boys, especially, those who drop out in the first and second years of their course. Yet the added investment in educational equipment is calculated to double the attendance in ten years. According to the registration the opening week, 1088 pupils reported ready for work, more than were enrolled at the beginning of last year. There is little doubt that this increase greater than any in previous years, is due to the appreciation of the new plant, and the natural desire of thoughtful parents to have their chil- dren make the most of this extended opportunity for education. The generous and well calculated expenditure for a brand new high school plant of such pretensions as the Dunbar overshadows any plans the city authorities have ever had for relieving the congestion in the local high school. Since the principalship of Dr. Waring, the question of a new building has hardly passed the range of discussion, although several tentative, plans have been proposed. Meantime the unofficial reports of registration in the local high school show no increase in enrollment over last year, in fact over the past two years, with a total of students slightly more than 600 in the local high school the new high school of our neighboring city with new building and equipment attract two and one-half times as many students; this when Washington has but 10,000 more population than Baltimore. The failure of our school authorities to make adequate modern provision for our pupils in the High School in the light of the good work done in the neighboring city, appears little short of criminal. Not only do the present inadequate quarters cramp and retard the work or the present capacity student body of 500, but the old fashioned building and shops are not attracting and holding several hundreds of other students who do not feel the necessity of a secondary education. Some weeks ago Superintendent Koch urged the colored teachers to increase their efficiency and laid at their door the lower standard of scholarship in colored schools. In view of what Washington is doing for the improving of teaching conditions by giving new equipment, the fault as Superintendent suggested does not lie altogether with the teachers. COLORED LABORENRS IN BALTIMORE Just as the operations of the German submarine off the coast of Nantucket brought the European war to the very doors of the country, the coming of the labor agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad to this city to find out why colored laborers are not willing to make Baltimore their home brings the whole question of immigration from the South to the Baltimorean for practical consideration. Mr. Duckery stated to a reporter of the Afro-American that one of the causes of dissatisfaction among the laborers in the carsps near the city was the failure of the railroad company to provide homes of a more or less permanent kind, instead of the work camps for the housing of the laborers: The recommendation of the agent to provide such homes as the laborers feel they need, as has been done in the North, will do away with this dissatisfaction. One reason for discontent that the company cannot remove is the actual adoption of these men into the life of the community in which they find themselves. It seems that the saloon element got into the camps around the city ahead of the churches and exploited them while the heads of churches and other welfare organizations were either ignorant of their presence or indifferent. Whether or not communities in the North as a whole, are willing to accept colored laborers, their coming and settling at the rate of one thousand a day constitutes a civic problem that must be met and met squarely. It is assumed that the colored people have no objection to additions to their ranks and it is theirs to be the first to give the glad hand of welcome. Here the churches and other benevolent institutions should take the lead and as Mr. Duckery suggests, not only open their doors to new and strange brethren but arrange means for carrying the gospel of good cheer to them in their camps. MOSES TO MEET The annual grand encampment of the National Grand Tabernacle of the Order of Moses will be held at Atlantic City next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Solomon Bond, of this city, is grand master, and James M. Seward, grand secretary. Quite a number of Baltimoreans will be in attendance. AT THE AUDITORIUM There are more real thrills taken from real life, that will bring to our personal mind things that have happened during our life time, that will cause us to stop and think and see where we were in the wrong more ways than one. And the comedy situations that are disbursed throughout the action of the play are situations that relieve the intensity of the story and each and every character that is introduced in the action of the play is taken from real life, and they are in the hands of competent artists who make you feel that you are witnessing the real happenings of life. Mr. Sherman in producing this wonderful play, deals with the struggles of a poor working girl who comes to an American city and encounters those vultures who prey upon innocent creatures. So don't fail to see the dramatic sensation of the day "The Girl Without a Chance" that comes to the Auditorium Theatre for one week starting Monday, and you will leave the theatre with nothing but words of praise for "The Girl Without a Chance." AT THE COLONIAL In order to create a great amount of enthusiasm among the people of this city, the Quality Amusement Corporation is offering special inducements to fraternal clubs, socials, and organizations in general who would like to attend the performances at the Colonial theatre, viz: $100 worth of tickets for $60.; $50 worth of tickets for $30.; $25. worth of tickets for $15.; and $12.50 worth for $7.50. The tickets will be good for any of the three matinees, and Tuesday and Thursday nights of each week. "Country store" nights will be inaugurated when persons holding luck coupons will be awarded valuable prizes. This innovation should prove a great drawing card, and will doubtless be popular with the theatregoers. A SURPRISE PARTY A surprise party was tendered Miss L. Estelena Williams by the Idle Moment Pleasure Club, at the residence of the president, Mrs. Sadie Churchill, 523 N. Caroline street.

FOOT BALL AT LINCOLN UNIVERSITY By Goerge Boulware The Lincoln University foot ball squad is hard at work under the able coaching of W. H. Bullock. This strenuous work is in preparation for the initial game of the season with the Lampton A. A., of Chester, Pa. The game will be palyed October 14th at Lincoln University, on Rendall field. Coach Bullock, is a former Dartmouth star and an All-American man. He has an acute knowledge of his material and is fast whipping it into shape. The coach feels sure that he can turn out a machine second to none in the history of Lincoln University. Manager Hill is pleased with the team as a whole and fells confident of coming through the season without a defeat. Captain Burton is mindful of his responsibilities and is proving himself a competent leader. He is playing his usual star game at right tackle. Barber is showing old time form at left tackle and Douglass is making good at left end. Young, the brainy quarter back of the 1914 machine, is not in togs as yet, but he will soon be putting his foot in the pigskin. The old Lincoln spirit is at its zenith. It is the same spirit that helped to defeat Howard in 1914 plus a superb team that will enable them to give a good account of themselves. C. Y. W. C. A. Willing, Worer's Day.

VOTE FOR PROHIBITION Why I Shall Vote For A ...Dry Baltimore... 1. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because it is the only reasonable thing for an intelligent individual to do. Scientists declare that alcohol is a racial poison so deadly in its effects that its indulgence by one generation is disastrous to the generations to follow. 2. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore because the testimony of men prominent in the commercial life of the Prohibition States and Cities convince me that the drink evil is the greatest economic handicap of the civilized world. 3. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore because I believe what the criminologists and sociologists tell me—that the Alcohol Habit is the cause of from sixty to ninety per cent. of all crime, and I dare not take the responsibility of helping to continue such a crime propogating institution. 4. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because I believe it is my bounden duty as a Christian patriot to make safe and clean the public highways for the boys and girls who are growing up in our midst. 5. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because I consider it a high privilege to participate in the great movement that is sweeping from America and the world a business that menaces the home and retards the progress of civilization. 6. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore because I prize too highly my right to vote, and will not prostitute my suffrage by casting it in favor of an institution that sends annually in the United States 300,000 to drunkard's graves, breaks the hearts of women, and brings indiscribable suffering on innocent children 7. I shall vote on November 7 to out-law the liquor traffic from Baltimore because it affords me a Golden Opportunity to show to the best white element of our community that the Colored Voter will do the Right Thing whenever the interests of the home, church and state are to be safe-guarded. 8. I shall vote on November 7 to outlaw the liquor traffic from Baltimore, because an enlightened conscience teaches me to place a higher value on a moral issue than I should on economic and industrial considerations. The Liuor Traffic is radically and fundamentally wrong, and therefore, should be driven out of the community. Vote For Prohibition In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, George T.

Hill Street and 826 Druid Hill Ave. C THE AFRO-AMERICAN Twelve years ago she was just entering her 'teens. In New Haven, Conn., she was the pride and wonder of the Hagan family. She was the one whom they "showed,off" when a guest or friend was to be entertained. Taking her seat upon the piano stool, and being hardly tall enough to reach the pedals with her toe, she would astonish the visitor.—for visitors do not expect much from children whom proud parents put forward as "wonders." But when little Helen waked the lyre, it was something out or the ordinary in the line of piano music from a mere child.—I was then a college lad at Yale, and I remember with what a facetious smile I settled back into an easy chair to listen, when the little girl was led in by her mother and seated at the piano, just to "show" me. She showed me, and has since shown hundreds of thousands that genius; even in a handicapped Negro girl, "will out." After she grew a little, she entered Yale University conservatory of music, a very young girl; and in competition with white students much older than herself, she gained one of the biggest prizes of the university,—the Samuel Simon Sanford Fellowship, providing for foreign study. Even success has its fatalities, and may have its sorrows. Her mother died in New Haven, while the girl was on the high seas, en route to Paris, France, for further study. She was never to see her mother again. She did her work, however, and in 1914 was granted a diploma by the Schola Cantorum, of Paris. France has always recognized the worth of darker peoples, and the great soldiers of Africa, on the hardest fought battle line of history, are now recognizing the worth of France. Helen worked with the great French composers, and received the touch and poise and inspiration which only the true artist genius can receive from those who have mastered the art. We often speak of how little white people know about colored people who have attained. But, do her own people know her? The Negro race is not well enough acquainted with its own successful members, especially those of the gentler arts. What do the words Burleigh, Braithwaite, Carl Dillon and Helen Hagan mean to the rank and file of the Negro race. Then we make the further mistake of measuring the colored artist by the small fee which we have to pay to hear him. We forget that the entrance fee is small only because we are poor,—or stingy. For thirty-five cents on the first floor of the Colonial Theatre, we have enjoyed the same thing for which we might pay fifty cents on the third floor of the white theatres. If Caruso were an American Negro, he might sing just as he now sings, but he would not dare charge us more than twenty-five cents —and then some of us would accuse him of robbery. If Helen Hagan were white, we would pay one dollar for standing room; but as she is brown we will hear her for twenty-five cents, and then feel as if we have virtuously made a donation to charity. It is a natural mistake for us to measure our artists by the small sum which we are willing to pay them; we forget that WE do the paying, and that the small fee is the measure of US, not of them. There is in Baltimore a newspaper, owned and edited by a colored man. His editorials are strong in defense of his race. If any one of our white dailies should carry such an editorial on the Negro just once a year as appears in almost any issue of the Afro-American, all the Negroes in Baltimore including the writer of this article, would buy and read that white man's paper. Its editor would be drowned in invitations to come and "talk" at every meeting the Negroes could get up. O. he might curse and slander the whole Negro race for 364 days of the year, if only on the 365th day he would write and print just one such editorial as John Murphy writes every week. Of course there is some reason in this: we expect the colored editor to "be good" on the race question, but we do not expect the same of the white editor, and so we appreciate the latter in proportion to our astonishment. And there is more rejoicing over one sinner that repents than over ten thousand of the righteous. But, altho it is somewhat natural, it is still poor policy in so far as it causes a neglect of our own; for neglect will discourage them and stunt their growth, or cause them to die out. Helen Hagan is one of the best piano artists of the world. On Monday night. November 13th, she will give her first performance in Baltimore at the Sharp Street Memorial Church. ARCH SOCIAL AT CHURCH The annual memorial services of the Arch Social attracted a large congregation at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church last Sunday night.

TO THE WOMAN'S COLUMN FROM A MOTHER Dear Sisters:—When I read of the good and noble work you are doing, it makes my heart leap with joy. I am heart and hand with you in trying to stamp out the great curse that is causing mothers' hearts to break and sending them to early graves. It is causing sorrow, all over our land and I know that I'm not the only mother, who is praying daily that God will hasten on the day, when not only the state of Maryland but every state in the country will be dry. It has caused me untold trouble and no one knows but God, how my heart has ached, and how many tears I've shed and how many nights' sleep I've lost all caused by the liquor traffic. The boys I've tried to bring up in the fear of God and prized as gems have been torn from home and mother, and claimed by the demon—rum. At times I'm almost ready to give up. My courage is almost gone, but my God tells me to TRUST HIM, and I'm doing all in my power to help fight the evil. Dear Margaret Black, I'm one of the well wishers of the Woman's Column. As I'm one of the women who feel interested in the uplift of our people, especially our young women, I am sending you a few words on punctuality. My heart is filled with gratitude toward the editor for the privilege of reaching the young women thru the Column. There is one feature in our character, that a great many of us fail to cultivate and that is punctuality. It is one of the prominent features of our daily life and the neglect to cultivate it, causes much trouble and often the loss of a good position. This is a business world and we desire to be business women, and as such we must be punctual. We must have time for all things. Housewives would find the problem of housekeeping much easier, if they would have a time for everything and do the work in a systematic way. There would then be time to read short stories to the little ones and to take them for short walks, which would help both mothers and children. Dear Readers, if you haven't thought before, I'm sure if you read last week's issue of the Afro-American it started you to thinking of the stranger at your very doors, in other words the Southern workmen who have arrived in the city within the past two months and many who have left—Mr. Duckery tells, almost immediately. Here is work for the social settlement worker, also for our club women. They are fresh from the sunny Southland and with little or no knowledge of the conditions and environments of the city, therefore unable to meet the situation intelligently and are at a loss to adjust themselves successfully. Now is the time for the women to show what they can do in rescue work among our own people. You that have the time should use it in showing these people right at your door how to become good citizens. Are you thinking of the girls and women who have been attracted by the glowing stories of the wonderful advantages of the Northern cities, or are you sitting calmly back in your comfortable home, putting yourself on the back and thinking your social position is such that you will be contaminated, as with a plague, if you put yourself out of the way a little to help make these people welcome and good citizens? What is wrong with our so-called business men, the real estate man, and above all the preachers that they do not even know of these people's existence in a city like Baltimore, where they are coming in by the hundreds and even thousands. The preachers are struggling to pay off church debts and to keep up current expenses, do they know there are few southern toilers that are not enthusiastic workers in the church; why not as Mr. Duckery says, open your church doors and make these people welcome. You talk of fighting the saloon evil, yet you stand idly by and let the saloon cater for the stranger's trade and allow him to be the only person to make these people welcome to our city. The white merchant has found him out and will carry his goods to them to buy, our merchants sit at home, put a few little adds in the paper and expect the whole colored population, strangers and all to flock to them to buy, when thousands have never heard of their existence. The condition that is now facing us was the condition that was once the New York City and Philadelphia clubwomen's greatest problem. Mrs. William Layton and her excellent assistants can tell how well they met the issue and measured up to the requirements. When the men come, thousands of whom are men of families—large and small—it is only natural that the women soon join them. The amount of rescue work that can be accomplished if only our women get together, organize and get to work will astonish even those who expect results. No club has now any cause to be wail the fact of not enough of civic and uplift work. It is right at your side and the first aid is to meet the trains and boats as soon as they enter the city. Now is the time we need the women to take a hand, to do and to be ready to do her part, and to wake up the slothful thinkers and put them to work, to help turn the traffic in human souls down new roads to better homes, better ideals and better things in general.

CARVER Director of Research and Experiment Station Tuskegee Institute. It is extremely doubtful if it will ever be possible to reckon the amount of real service George W. Carver has been to the farmers of Macon County, Alabama, to the farmers of Alabama and indeed to the farmers of the whole South. To his undoubted genius and love for his calling, as well as his overwhelming desire to be of service to his fellows, he has had the whole machinery of Tuskegee Institute behind him, which has added prestige to his vast knowledge, and has made him a much sought after being. George W. Curver, director of the experiment station at Tuskegee Institute, comes as near knowing everything about scientific farming as any other individual in the South. He is an inverteate student, has an abiding and a deep love for nature, and communities with nature at all times and in all forms. He is able to tell the farmer in Macon County how to preserve the soil, how to care for any crop, and at the same time give them common sense advice on living comfortably during hard times, how to make money all the year, and the virtue and benefits from canning and preserving fruits, vegetables and other boneless things. He is a veritable store house of knowledge—not the storehouse where things are kept, but the distributing depot, from whence his vast knowledge radiates throughout the community to the good of all who will heed his advice. It is so very peculiar that men of such knowledge like Mr. Carver should be such simple men in their tastes and habits and so easily approached and graced. That is true of most of the truly great men that I know. I do not believe I am alone in this experience. Apparances sometimes are very, very deceptive. There is not one man in one hundred that would take Mr. Carver for the important man that he is. Very plain in dress, absolutely unodorous and unassuming, to this is added a native modesty that makes him "shut himself up within himself" unless he is approached in his laboratory or at his desk upon some form of the work that is his hobby. In fact, he is often passed up by the casual visitor at Tuskegee as a "nobody" or some chance loiterer on the grounds, although he is never seen loitering. Mr. Carver tells on himself an amusing incident wherein a reception committee at Winchester, Ky, came on his train and looked all over him looking for him. In the minds of that committee no such a looking man as he could possibly have been the noted scientist. Imagine the chagrin of that committee when, after it had reported to the convention that Mr. Carver did not come, that individual was afterwards introduced to the audience by the presiding officer. Such a love of nature as Mr. Carver possesses is not an acquired art. Schools only develop the sense. He declares that even earlier than he can remember, he began to get his training from the great and inexhaustible book of Nature. His white master and mistress have often told how, when Mr. Carver was a mere child toddling about, he would come in at night with a handful of flowers, grasses, or herbs, often just a few heads of wheat or oats and would go to bed with them tightly gripped in his hands, arising thus in the morning. It soon became necessary, so these individuals relate, to stop him at the door and have him empty his pockets, before coming inside, of the remarkable and non-descript collection of toads, frogs rocks, etc., that he had in them. Later,—not much later—but when a more boy he was called "plant doctor," because people for miles around would bring him their sick plants to doctor. There is not a case recorded where Carver failed. The peculiar knowledge of and affection for all plant life that he possessed at that time, was positively uncanny. This encouraged him, as a matter of course, to wonder why. He naturally wanted to know what made plants grow, how they grew and many, many other things about them that only study could reveal. His opportunity to know was improved upon day after day, so that after his preliminary education in the schools of Kansas he possessed himself of the knowledge of music and art in the college at Indiana, town. He later took both the bachelor and master degrees in scientific Agriculture at the State Agricultural College. Ames, Iowa. Since that time, at the famous Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Mr. Carver has made agriculture to the Negro mean more than mere drudgery. He has made hundreds of young men know the beauties of nature, and has made farmers throughout the Southland realize that true agriculture was anything but a tiresome undertaking and that the farmer's life need not necessarily be a hard and unprofitable one. Scientific agriculture and practical agriculture have come to be synonymous terms at Tuskegee, and it is very much to the resourceful expert's credit that this is true. From time to time from the Experiment Station have gone pamphlets which have been of inestimable educational value to the farmers round about Tuskegee. Such titles as the following show at once their value; "A Study of the Soils of Macon County, Alabama and their Adaptability to Cetain Crops;" "How to Raise Pigs with Little Money;" "When, What and How to Can and Preserve Fruits and Vegetables in the Home;" "The Pickling and Curing of Meat in Hot Weather;" "Possibilities of the Sweet Potato in Macon County;" "Help for the Hard Times;" "How to Be Comfortable this Winter," and many other apparently homely topics, but topics that a lot of farmers know but little about. Macon county, Alabama, the county in which Tuskegee Institute is located presents the most wonderful progress among its Negro farmers of any other county in the state. As says the Postum people; "There's a reason." One can hope to witness nothing more interesting than Mr. Carver addressing a gathering of farmers. I have been with him on Farmer's Conferences, when he would be extolling the virtue of this crop or that, would be analizing this kind of soil or telling this particular farmer what to do, to his land in order to raise more and better cotton or corn, as the case may have been, from the sample the farmer had brought to the meeting. One could see that he was intensely interested. It is the respect that any intelligent being has for knowledge and power. This is Prof. Carver's theory: For many years to come the individual who can produce the most milk, make the best butter, raise the finest and cheapest beef, pork, mutton, fowl, etc. put upon the market superior fruits, grains, and in short gilt edge products of every kind, and at the least expense and the least injury to the soil, will be in constant demand, regardless to the color of his skin or the texture of his hair. The fittest will survive. To prove this, Mr. Carver recently said to me that he could place twenty young men if he had them and if they were high class—emphasizing the fact that nearly every position he had called for persons possessed with splendid training, good judgement and an abundance of pluck. His desk is literally overloaded with thousands of queries from all classes of people throughout the year. Hundreds of farmers come to Tuskegee seeking information of Prof. Carver, and he is in constant demand at farmers' institutes and chaundaiquas. Agriculture, as Prof. Carver has proven, is by no means a to-be-designed calling. At present, he will show the visitor in his laboratory, if pressed to do so, seven different kinds of toilet powder, declared by other experts to be of a superior variety. These powders are prepared from the Macon county deposits, and range from "high brown," to cream, lavender, flesh pink and pure white. Allotter about 30 fine wood stains are made by Prof. Carver from the clays, fully 30 or 35 kalsomines of the richest hues, 7 or 6 bungalow colors and a variety of points of a dark shade. All of these latter preparations are used largely at Tuskegee Institute in decorating and painting, as well as by the people of Tuskegee town. Mr. Edison has become deeply interested in several of Mr. Carver's discoveries, and he has been summoned to conference with that eminent scientist and inventor. A representative of Mr. Edison's has been to Tuskegee to look over the Carver discoveries, as well as other parties of wealth and influence, including a representative of the United States Government. The achievement of which Mr. Carver seems to be most proud, but of which, with his inate modesty, he says the least, is a rubber that he is making of sweet potatoes. In addition to his natural bent towards things of this kind, Mr. Carver's success emphasizes the possibilities before Negro men at Tuskegee and elsewhere if they will but stick to the job. Mr. Carver's work is his religion, in a sense. He loves the great out doors. He loves all of God's creatures, and he is an extremely generous and liberal as must be any individual who communes with nature and lives so close to the Maker. Close application to all the details of his calling has brought to him unsought honors-honors from exclusive societies and the companionship of eminent scientists. Recently Mr. Carver has been invited to membership The National Agricultural Society; The Royal Society of Arts, London, England and The National Historical Society of France. DOUBLE CELEBRATION Fairfield, Md., October 12—The son and daughters of Mr. Benjamin Green tendered him a double celebration last Wednesday evening. On that day he celebrated the 79th anniversary of his birth and his children took the occasion to commemorate the fact of his losing a leg in the war 52 years ago. Saturday, September 30. Mr. Green was the recipient of many presents, and the guests were treated to a bountiful repast. In an address of felicitation, Mr. W. W. Brown said in part: "Father Green, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to be here and take part in this celebration given in honor of one to whom we think honor is due. Mr. Green has been a tireless and consistent worker ever since he came to this town. His life has been an exemplary one, full of loving deeds and helpfulness to others. Time has painted his hair a silver gray, furrowed his face and broken his step, but his Christian life shines like the stars and his face as the noon-day sun." Among those present were Messrs. and Mesdames. W. W. Brown, William Gray, Hayes Litaker, Charles Tyler, S. Palmer, J. H. Gillespie, S. Hurd, George Coates, E Ford, S Brent, Wesley Smith, of Washington; H. Cannon, R. Middleton, M. Grayson, Mesdames, E. Black, J. E. Cunningham, Lavania Randall, H. Snowden, Miss M. Randall, Messrs.
