PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY THE AFFAIR AMERICAN MARYLAND'S BEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER --- TO STEM TIDE OF EMIGRATION Whites Assure Colored Citizens "Protection From Mistreatment" If They Stay. MEET RACE LEADERS Fear For Personal Safety Drives Colored Laborers From Georgia. Albany, Ga., Nov. 22—An organized effort to stem the tide of emigration that has set in among the Negroes of this section has been inaugurated among the leading white and colored citizens of this section. A preliminary meeting to "talk things over" has been held, as a result of which it has been determined to take action to assure the colored laborers of southwest Georgia that they are wanted here, that they will be given protection from mistreatment, real or imagined, and that the best class of white citizens will continue as in the past, to be their friends. Some illuminating features developed at this meeting, which was attended by prominent representatives of both races. Some leaders of the Negro race, who are doing their best to induce their people to remain where they are were present at the meeting and when asked by their white friends to talk freely and frankly of the problem, did so, with the result that a clearer insight was had by all present into certain features of the widespread emigration movement among the Negroes of this section. According to these leaders of the race who know and understand their own people perhaps better than any others, there are several considerations that influence the Negroes of this section who are leaving. In the first place, the coming of the bell weevil has caused many of them to become apprehensive of their ability to make a living here any longer. Some of the large white planters, it is stated, have told their employees that because of bell weevil conditions they can no longer make arrangements to supply their needs as they have done in the past. This has moved the main prop of the existence of many Negroes, and when the opportunity has come to go North they have seized upon it as a welcome means of salvation from conditions with which they feel unable to cope. Many large land owners, however, who had told their employees that they could no longer supply their needs, have changed their minds, and have informed them that they will continue to look out for them in the future as in the past, realizing that as much money can be made from cotton, peanuts and other crops, under bell weevil conditions, as was made before the pest came. In many instances where this has been done the colored people are content to remain. Another factor, and a much stronger one, that is causing many Negro families to leave, especially from certain sections, is the impression that has gone abroad among them that the better class of white citizens have changed their attitude toward the good Negroes, and will no longer protect them. Labor agents have assiduously fostered this impression, and hundreds of Negroes are said to firmly believe that the white folks are going to "run the Negro out of Georgia." The big outstanding feature of the meeting was the assertion that the plain truth of the exodus of Negroes from southwest Georgia is that they are afraid to remain here. Tales were told of the sleepless nights spent by Negro families in sections where lynchings have been perpetrated; how every sound outside the humble cab in caused terror; how the women and children lived in constant dread until finally they could not stand it any longer and departed for other States where this dread could be shaken off. One colored speaker at this meeting told of a trip he made from Albany to Atlanta in a carload of Negroes going North. He said he made this trip for the express purpose of learning the attitude of the Negroes that were leaving. He told several pathetic tales that showed the feeling of fear that impelled these people to flee their homes. One colored farmer, who had a farm and home worth four thousand dollars sold it for fourteen hundred dollars. He declared that his wife and children compelled him to do it because of the constant fear in which they lived that white men were coming to kill them. The meeting resulted in the planting of a tree convulsion in the minds of the white men present that this section of Georgia is keeping the fruits of lawlessness, and that the emigration can be stopped until the Negroes can be convinced that they will receive protection at the hands of the best class of white citizens. While it is true that acts of lawlessness have been committed by irresponsible white persons of a low and disorderly class, nevertheless it is an admitted fact that these acts have not been rebuked nor has any effective step been taken to put a stop to them. That this must be done if the Negro laborers so much needed on the farms are to be kept here is the belief of those who have inaugurated this movement to stop the tide of emigration. To this end they will urge that similar meetings be held in other cities and towns of south west Georgia, and that organized steps be taken to give the Negroes assurance that the law abiding ones among them will be given the protection they are entitled to. MUST RECOGNIZE BLACKS Boston, Mass., November 29—That the present European war is the result of the selfish desire of the fighting nations to gobble up the whole of Africa was asserted by W. E. Burghardt DuBois, in an address on "The World Problem of the Color Line" at the Newton South Forum Sunday. "The rights of the blacks throughout the world must be recognized," he declared, "and if they are not, such conflicts will go on because of the arrogance and selfishness of the world powers in their desires to gain the land of the black man's home Africa." The present war, the speaker said, was the result of a desire to control the African veldt, a desire to exploit the African race, and but for the eagerness of European rulers to secure control of the land in the Dark Continent, there would have been no war. HOLD EDUCATIONAL MEETING Wilmington, Del., November 29th—The first of a series of educational meetings to be held by the New Century Club took place last week. Miss Edwinn B. Kruse, principal of the Howard High School, was the chief speaker, her subject being "What our Public Schools are Doing for the Colored Girls and Boys of Wilmington." She said that the public schools are doing a good work, and mentioned the fact that graduates of the Howard High School are now admitted to the leading colleges without examination. UBRAN "COTTON KING" Charlotte, N. C., December 1.—John Walker promises to be the cotton king of Charlotte, as he has a "corner" on the available "cotton fields" in Watkin's Alley. John thought that the vacant lot in the alley would produce good cotton, and he has succeeded in raising a bale and a half theron. Anyhow, he is not worried about a lean Christmas, as cotton is bringing good prices now. THEY WERE THANKFUL New Orleans, La., December 1.—Assisted by more than two hundred business and professional men, baskets of good things to eat, shoes, hats and clothing were distributed to aged and illimn people by the colored Y. M. C. A. yesterday. OPEN NIGHT SCHOOL Woodbury, N. J. November 30—A night school for colored men opened here Monday night, the Board of Education furnishing the building and the pupils paying for the teacher and the supplies. WHITES PROTEST OF NO AVAIL Shreveport, La., November 30—Despite the efforts of some prejudiced whites to prevent the Avenue Baptist Church from building on a recently purchased site, the City Council has unanimously requested the Building Inspector to issue a permit for the same. The whites declared that they were in the majority in the neighborhood, but investigation proved it to be untrue. It also became known that the congregation had borrowed a considerable sum to erect the new church. HOSPITAL WANTS $10,000 Roanoke, Va.. November 30 - A campaign to raise ten thousand dollars for the Burrell Memorial Hospital has been in progress, here, with fairly successful results. The hospital was established here nearly two years ago, and the building is owned by five colored physicians. LABORER LEAVES $10,600. Louisville, Ky., November 29—The filing for probate of the will of Samuel Carter revealed the fact that he was worth $10,000. He could not read or write, and made his money do odd jobs. He owned a number of houses. He was unmarried, and left his estate to Miss Frances Virginia Owens, whose family he had known for fifty years. Indianapolis, Ind., November 29- Among the colored woman who attend of the recent National Women's Christ- ian Temperance Union were: Mrs. Margaret P. Hill, of Baltimore; Mrs. Eliza Peterson, of Texarkana; Tex. Mrs. Celia D. Faxon, of Nashville; Miss Alma Scott, of Washington; Mrs. Frances Goudet, of New Orleans; Mrs. M. J. Campbell, of Conroe, Texas; Miss M. I. Stevens, of Pine Blok; and Miss Mary Lench, of Charlotte, M. C. all ardent temperance supporters. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1916 TABLET PRESENTED TO DUNBAR SCHOOL Gift of The Colored Citizens Equitable Improvement Association of East Baltimore. MRS. DUNBAR PRESENT Prominent School Officials and Citizens Present and Deliver Addresses. The efforts that the Colored Citizens' Equitable Improvement Association of East Baltimore made for a new school in that section of the city came to a fitting termination Wednesday afternoon, when a handsome tablet bearing the name of Paul Laurence Dunbar, for whom the school is named, was presented. The principal William Anderson presided. The building was dedicated two weeks ago, and the presentation of the tablet, which was the gift of the association, came as a fitting finale. Though the audience was mainly composed of patrons of the school, prominent persons from other sections of the city were present. Among those seated on the plaf- topgames were Superintendent of Schools Charles J. Koch, School Commissioners Arthur B. Bibbons and Albert T. Chambers, Mr. William Anderson, principal of the school; Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson, of Wilmington, Del. widow of Dunbar; Rev. N. M. Carroll, who delivered the benediction; Rev. P. C. Neal, vice president of the Equi- tablet improvement Association, who presented the tablet in the absence of the president, William L. Gibson, and Hugh M. Burkett, who delivered a ecology on Dunbar. Mayor Preston was unable to be present. Mr. Koch, the first speaker, said that he went to the school at the corner of Baltimore and Asiquit sirges, and that one thing that im- MR. WILLIAM ANDERSON pressed the boys there were two colored men. One was the late Bishop A. W. Wayman, who lived opposite. The bishop had a horse which was rather slow of movement. One boy would pull the horse and another would shove the horse around to the front of the bishop's residence, Mr. Koch said, and when the jovial prelate would see the humorous situation, he would exclaim: "Bring forth the fiery and untamed steed." much to amusement of the punils. The other man was known as a voodoo doctor, and was a mysterious individual. He carried in his grip a potato with toothpicks stuck therein and wore a watch fob said to be capable of uniting quarreling lovers and bringing luck. These were emblems of mystery, Mr. Koch said, and were typical of life. The tablet on the Paul Laurence Dunbar School, he concluded, should be emblematic of something for the 1200 pupils attending the school. BURKETT EXTOLS DUNBAR Hugh M. Burkett delivered a splendid dildo mation on Dunbark, sketching his life and his climb to fame as a writer, even though he had to surmount the prejudice of race. Bryant, Longfellow and Poe, Mr. Burkett, said, were not strictly American in the way they wrote, and were somewhat on the order of Tennyson. Dunbark was an interpreter of a life peculiar to America, he said, citing "When Malndy Sings." "In the Morning" and "When Manny Saves the Blessing" as examples. Taking up the discriminations, that the lead writer had to undergo on account of rude and tracing his struggle against poverty, the speaker inveighed against race prejudice, such as segregation acts and exclusion from college and universities. "The colored man who lives in always," he declared, "is said to be im- provident and a menace and when he moves out on the big street he is said to be seeking 'social equality.' After taking a fling at Johns Hopkins: University for denying colored men, admission, he declared that "race prejudice was unreasoning and unreasonable." He gave numerous passages from Dunbar's writings in support of his contention that the distinguished author was a fine interpreter of life in its laughing and sorrowing moods, and then cited the first meeting of Frederick Douglass, the statesman, and Dunbar, the famed writer. Some one should paint that meeting, he suggested, setting the scene at the World's Fair in Chicago. Dunbar was beginning to be recognized, he concluded, as a foremost interpreter of American life, just as the nation is now beginning to begrudgingly acknowledge that the Negro songs of the South are the typical American music. Rev. P. C. Neal, who presented the tablet to the School Board, said that the Improvement Association appreciated what the city had done in spending $160,000 for the new building and that he hoped the life of the man for whom the school is named would be an inspiration to all. After reciting an appropriate poem, Mrs. Alice Dunbar Nelson withdrew the American flag that draped the tablet commemorating the name of her deceased husband, and the audience had its first look at the suitably inscribed memorial in bronze. On behalf of the Board of School Commissioners, Dr. Chambers accept the nameplate. He said that the building belonged to the colored people, and that they would be allowed to use it for any legitimate purpose. The association, which worked so long ardently and successfully for the new school would be granted its use for meetings at the next session of the School Board, he said. Dr. Bibbins presented the school a portrait of Leonard Calvert and also one of the medals struck off for those who assisted in the Star Spangled Banner celebration two years ago. He said that the Mayor was interested in the marking of the spot in the Potomac river where the Calverts landed in the Ark and the Dove. He suggested that the school form an alumni association. In accepting the portrait, Mr. Anderson praised Mayor Preston and the School Board for their deep interest and help in securing the new school building. He said that when a delegation from the association visited the Mayor and told him that an appropriation for a new school was lying idle in the city treasurer, that the Mayor said: "I am going to chase that old fox into the hole this time." He said that the new building contained 24 class rooms, all used; that two are now being used in the old building at Jefferson and Spring Sts, and that another would be opened there next Monday. He said that the pupils loved the new building and he expected a higher average of attendance. Misses Melvina Waring, Ethel Waring and others were praised for giving the school an American flag and Thomas H. Jones, a former pupil, for presenting the school an original painting. Miss Sarah R. Jackson, at one time a pupil in the school and now a teacher, gave a sketch of the early history from its beginning at Bond and Ashland avenue a half century ago, the establishment of a grammar school in the present annex and the installation of colored teachers there. An inspection of the building and its equipment followed, and many of the visitors said that is was the finest of its kind that the colored people of Baltimore have. FEELS HIGH COST OF PAPER Odd Fellows' Journal to be Published Every Other Week Washington, D. C., Nov. 28.—Because of the increase in the cost of paper and printing materials and the inadvisibility of raising the annual subscription price, the Monthly Board of the Sub-Committee of Management of the G. U. O. of O. P., has decided to publish the Odd Fellows' Journal only twice a month instead of weekly. Hence, Editor H. P. Slaughter, beginning December 7, will issue the Journal only on the first and third Thursday in each month. FARMERS MAKE PROGRESS. Roanoke, Va., November 30—That the colored farmers of Halifax, Dinwiddie, Surry and Southampton counties are making fine progress is the assertion made by Judge G. E. Cassell, publicity agent of the Norfolk Railway, following a trip of inspection in those counties. He said that though labor was source the farmers are prosperous. Speaking of the success of the farmers he had the following to say: "This is especially true of the colored farmer, who is doing much in the way of development of the agricultural interests of the southside," and he told of one colored farmer of Halifax county, who has three large houses filled with the finest kind of tobacco. He said also that there is hardy any Negro farmer who has not a big tobacco crop, which is now selling at topnotch prices. HAMPTON WINS FROM HOWARD Crowned Champions After Fierce Struggle On Howard Campus Thanksgiving Day Greatest Outpouring of Fans In History of Colored Football Washington, December 1—Hampton demonstrated its superior football abilities, and championship qualities before the biggest crowd that ever witnessed a football game on Howard campus, Thanksgiving day, when it triumphed over the Blue and White machine of Howard by the score of 13 to 3. The day was ideal for the annual football classic of the Eastern colleges, but the field was a bit soggy, and not conducive to the best kind of football, though the struggle was none the less fierce for a that. Though Hampton won the game there was glory enough, almost, in it for the Howard followers, for they were treated to the most sensational play of local football history when in the third quarter, Pinderhughes, their star fullback, after several attempts, booted the pigkin through the goal posts from his forty-yard line for the longest kick ever seen on Howard's field. And it was Pinderhughes who played like a Pollard throughout the game, carrying the ball whenever called upon for good gains o' the offense, and breaking up many of Hampton's formations on the defense. The first half halt ended with neither side able to score. The ball had seen-sawed up and down the field, with play being most of the time in Hampton's territory, and the latter holding like a stonewall whenever their goal was threatened. The third quarter had not porgressed far, however, when following 'linderhughes' record-breaking kick. Hampton caught the ball on a kick to her own territory, and broke loose with a ruck of straight football, marching right straight down the field for a touchdown. Howard tried repeatedly to solve Hampton's formations and the fierce onslaught of the bakes, but there was no stopping the boys from the South. Dorsey, Hampton's right end, was no les a star for Hampton than was Pinderhughes for Howard. His playing brought cheer after cheer from the Hampton rooters, and from the ten thousand lovers of the game who eagerly watched the plays. With hopes dampened but courage undismailed Howard: began a fight to stave off defeat which only ended when Hampton repeated in the fourth quarter its performance of the previous fifteen minutes with another touchdown followed by a goal and emerged from the fray the acknowledged champions for the season of 1916. In the kicking department of the gamme only were the Hamptonians outplayed. The line up was as follows: Hampton Position Howard Dabney c. Young Dawson rg. Randall Thornton rt. Matthews Downey re. Green Robinson lg. Marshall Paxton lt. McClain Williams le. Gilmore Mundy rhb. Coleman Lawson lhb. Grinnage Harvey qb. J. Stratton Harvey fb. Pinderhughes Umpire, Howell; Headlinesman, Douglass; Refree, Wilkinson. GUARDIAN'S 15th ANNIVERSARY Boston, Mass., November 29.—That the Boston Guardian has done a good work in fighting the battles of the race was asserted by W. P. Brigham in an address at the Columbus Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, where the fifteenth anniversary of the journal was observed. He also said that the 10,000,000 colored people of this country should have a representative in Congress. Revs. E. W. Swain, A. W. Pulver, and M. W. Thornton, Miss Eliza Gardner, J. R. Bourne, and W. M. Trotter, publisher of the Guardian, and M. W. Storey also spoke. "I believe that any segregation law in the United States is unconstitutional and I believe, furthermore, that the end of segregation has come," Moorfield Storey, told the audience. "I don't believe that any body of people in any state should be cut off from general society and oppressed after the manner the Negro race is cut off and oppressed. It is wrong for the Southern states to take the attitude they do is regard to the welfare of the colored people." PRICE THREE CENTS The foundation for Baltimore's $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building will soon be dug, a fine site having been secured. The new building will be centrally located, and only a short distance from Bethel A. M. E., Sharp Street Memorial M. E., Union Baptist and Grace Presbyterian Churches. Building operations will begin next spring it is said, and by fall Baltimore will have one of the most modern buildings in the country. A big mass-meeting, to be held in one of the city churches, has been planned for Sunday afternoon, December 10, at which time a public announcement of the exact location of the site will be made. The following week will be spent in rallying delinquents in the subscription campaign of 1912. A number of the outstanding pledges remain unpaid, but it is hoped to gather in as many as possible by December 17, when a big rally will be held. Others who want to aid in giving Baltimore a modern-building are invited to do so, in fact, their help is solicited. The new building is made possible by the generous offer of Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, who gave $25,000, conditional upon $75,000 more being raised. Of the latter sum, $20,000 was pledged by the colored people of Baltimore. The remainder was secured by the Central Association. Mr. S. S. Booker, general secretary of the Association, is elated over the early prospect of a new building. When asked to give the exact location of the new site, he said December 10 would be in ample time, and that all Baltimore should rally in aiding the Association. Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, Kansas City and Indianapolis are among the cities that have colored Y. M. C. A. buildings costing at least $100,000. CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Rev. George F. Bragg Preaches 25th Anniversary Sermon On last Sunday morning, the congregation of St. James Protestant Episcopal Church celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of its pastor, Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg. Coming to the church, a young man, Dr. Bragg has been a force not only in his church, but the community at large. During the course of his sermon, Dr. Bragg spoke of several members of the church, who, with him, were also celebrating twenty-five years of service. In bringing his text, "Without vision, the people perish," he spoke of the abundant vision and faith that had kept the Negro race since its emancipation from slavery. While praising those who had helped the church during its struggles, he also took occasion to score those who had been content to sit by and do nothing, saying they were spiritually dead. "Some people do not like this kind of preaching," he said, "but during my twenty-five years of service at St. James Church, I have never hesitated to preach against sin in any of its forms, and there are no considerations that can make me swerve from the course that is laid out for me as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ." RAILROADS BAN NEGROES. New York, November 29—That the railroads rejected arbitration in the dispute of traintmen for higher wages because they did not want seventy-five small railroads of the South and Negro employees and certain classes of white workmen from getting any benefits out of any aggreement reached, was asserted by W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in an address at the closing meeting of the New York Academy of Political Science last Friday night. DUBLIN FAIR A SUCCESS Dublin, Ga., November 30—A three day fair of the colored farmers around here came to a close last Saturday. There were many fine exhibits of live stock and agricultural products. FOR WELFARE OF Elizabeth, N. J., November 30—A meeting was held here last night to consider plans for the wolfage of the 500 colored workmen who have recently emigrated here from the South. It was the result of an interest of the Smithsonian League, recently organized to look after new arrivals. The speakers at last night's meeting included Rev. James Churchman, James Miller, Lawyer Randolph, Lewis Johnson, Judge J. E. Scotland and Rev. J. W. Freeman, president of the league. The latter in calling the meeting to order said: "Uncultivated and crude, from the rice swamps, cotton fields, turpentine farms and other menial spheres of Southern industry, segregated, astracised, defranchised, the spirit of manhood crushed within them, they have stepped into a world of unbounded privileges. Intoxicated with these new surroundings, like the wanton boy, they embrace every opportunity for pleasure which caters to their craving appetite. They need counsel, they need friends, a strong hand to guide them from the haunts of vice and mold them into good and valuable ...HOW MADELINE ROYE MADE GOOD... A Thanksgiving Story by Margaret Black SECOND INSTALLMENT I went down stairs and told mother, but she never said a word. All this worry and trouble soon began to tell on her. There was nothing left for me to do but go to work. I walked the streets, and advertised for weeks but it seemed as if I'd would never succeed. I met with so many rebuffs and was getting much discouraged, but I always put on a brave front before mother. One day a well known lawyer of the town, who had been quite a friend of father's, accosted me on the street. "Well, little girl," he said, "they tell me you are looking for work." "Yes sir," I replied. "Can you typewrite and do stenography?" "I can typewrite a little, but I am not a stepgrapher." I resisted. not a stenography teacher," he said, and I will give you a trial for your father's sake. I thought I had struck luck indeed and him telling me he would give me $4 a week and as soon as I learned stenography he would raise my wages until I'd get $12 a week, sent my thoughts soaring sky high. But I learned and became an expert stenographer, and my wages were never raised, and on account of my youth no one else would hire me. Our funds were getting low and we did not know what to do: At last mother was compelled to mortgage our home and my employer offered to take the mortgage. I said "Oh mother, don't mortgage our home to Mr Harris; he is a mean, ugly old man and we will never be able to pay him." Mother had never attended to any of that kind of business and she could not see where it would be wrong to trust him. A handsome man of fifty, of the light haired, blue-grey eyed type, burly in form, his free easy and reckless way of spending money on his only son gained him a certain popularity. When he found his son was following around after me, he thought I would jump at the chance to marry him, so one morning, I found myself suddenly discharged without a recommendation. I was forced to leave town to get work. I at last found employment in Lewistown, a little town five miles from Listie. I rode back and forth every day until the weather got cold then I came back and forth only on Saturday. Although I was now getting twelve dollars a week and boarded myself, I could not save much, but I did my very best. We could not get enough together to pay the interest when it came due. I had trouble enough trying to keep out of Dan Harris' way. He followed me around and forced his attentions upon me whenever he could. He wanted me to marry him, but I refused and that made him furious. He said "Never mind my high and mighty lady, you'll see the day when you'll be glad to become my wife." It made Mr. Harris very angry to think a "nomely little poor snipe," as he called me, would refuse to marry his son. Altho' he had discharged me because he did not think me good enough for his son, he had been induced by his son to consent to his marrying me Mr. Harris called on mother and told her that the day I became his son's wife, he would make her a present of our home free of all debt, and if I refused he would foreclose and turn us into the street. What could I do. The more I struggled, the tighter, it seemed, they drew the net around us, until to save my mother's life and to keep a roof over our heads. I consented. We were married only a few months when I found I had married a man without a spark of honor. All he cared for was gambling and a sporting life. My sacrifice proved vain and in less than ten months, I laid my mother beside my father When we had been married a little more than a year, they put into my arms, baby May. For awhile Dan was a different man, but it did not last long—he went from bad to worse and one day disappeared and left me penniless and stranded with a young six months old baby to look after. I went to Mr. Harris for help -- and he was so angry he drove me out of his house saying I had ruined his boy and his life and it was all my fault. I sold the things I did not need rented our home and took my baby and left the town far behind me. I was lucky enough to get the first job I applied for—which was on the Clarion Herald as Society reporter and there I worked until it changed hands, when I had to look for another job. I came here to Royal and succeeded in getting a job on your paper; but I was pretty near all in, but some how or other I managed to stay with the paper. One evening in hurrying home from the office, I ran into a stranger. I thought him a tramp, but I was quickly made aware as to who it was, when, he sarcastically exclaimed, "By jove, it is my homely little Madeline. Surely luck is mine; hand over your money little lady." "I don't have any," I said, "with me." He followed me home, and as soon as we reached my room, he demanded my money and when I refused, he threatened to kill me, and only the timely entrance of one of the lodgers saved baby and I from being killed. Soon afterwards he left. "I'm returning tomorrow" he said, "and you had better have that money ready." That night I hunted up other rooms and left, not telling anyone where I was going. By going each night to my old lodgings and slipping out the back way--he never found out my place --- of lodging -- the rest. Mayo -- you know, you see I am only one among a busy working class. "You know some one has said 'Man's love is stronger than his brutality,' but wher I think of my husband I'm sure the sentence is a mistake, because if he had truly loved baby and me, he would have come home to us and been a man and not die a coward's death." Madeline's home was in the lower end of the city facing the bay— As we sat, I reached and took her hand into mine. There had beer a heavy storm early in the evening, and from her window, hand in hand we watched the great waves pile themselves into hills, then curl and plunge viciously into valleys of their own making. Some of them had risen twenty feet and broke with an angry roar, as though raging at the restriction put upon them. But now the dark ugly Bay had taken on exquisite shades of blue and green. The waves that had beat furiously against the wharves changed into trolicking wavelets that sang in deep bass and contralto voices and seemed to laugh lovingly at us and we both looked and marveled and wondered if fate after all was going to bring us real happiness. "Turn around Madeline" said I, "and look at me, never mind the waves now, they are singing us a song of gladness—the storm is over with you also, and hereafter the moon and stars will vie with each other in brightening your path way thru life." "You have counted for so much in my life since I knew you. At first I did not know that I loved you. I thought it was pity -- but pity is akin to love, and my aim hegafter will be to make your life a continual Thanksgiving. Can you trust me for a journey through life. She only came closer, to me and looked with bright loving eyes into mine, and although she made no answer, I was well content with what I saw in the bonnie little face raised so trustingly to mine. RECEPTION TO BISHOP JOHNSON Ministers of the Baltimore Conference are planning a reception for Bishop J. Albert Johnson, should he not demur. Initiatory action looking thereto was taken at the Bielemore A. M. E. Ministerial Meeting on Monday. The ministers will ascertain the Bishop's wishes concerning the matter. Bishop Johnson is a former member of this conference, and his assignment to preside over it is regarded as a boon for the work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in this section of the country. He is a man of high ideals, scholarly attainments, and usually side-steps any suggestion that he be given a reception. The ministers believe that he will accept their invitation, however. The Order of the Holy Cross will begin a mission at St. Mary's Protestant Episcopal Church beginning next week. It will be in charge of Rev. Mr. Huntington, Rev. Mr. Harrison and Brother Abaishall. Three services will be held daily, the one at 4 o'clock in the afternoon being for children. Rev. George A. Griffiths is pastor of the church. Mrs. Hardy who has been ill at her home, 607 Mulberry street, is improving.

CHICAGO,ILL. Patronize-those who-Advertise $1800 RALLY AT EBENEZER CHURCH Members of The Church Led By Pastor Rev. C.E. Stewart Raise Largest Amount At One Time In The History Of the Church Dear Sr. Please allow us space in your very valuable paper to make a statement with reference to our Fall Rally at old historic Ebenezer. This is a great church having some of the most loyal members known to African Methodism and to the cause they represent. It is a church that has always held its own and beats warm with religious fervor and loyalty. Ebenezer has been pastored by some of the very ablest divines known to African Methodism and the people in general. Among its noted pastors were the late Bishop Daniel A. Payne, Alexander Wuyman, and James A. Handy, Revs. H. H. Collett, Charles W. Mossell, I. S. Lee, J. W. Norris,C. H. Stepteau and Bishop J. N. Ross. Ebenezer is now pastored by that energetic scholar, one that halls from Michigan and comes to us from Greensboro, N. C., that very able and efficient divine. Charles E. Stewart. The practical preacher—the man with a gospel message. Dr. Stewart is meeting with marked success, serving the people in a most effective manner, and getting untold results for his Lord and Master. Ebenezer, since his pastorage has taken on new life along the lines of general activity and people from all M. A. B. REV. C. E. STEWART parts of the city come to hear him preach and to get their Sabbath morning lessons from his plain heart to heart talks. He is popular with the members of his church and with the community and is growing in prestige and influence along lines of civic life. Dr. Stewart is also a noted musician, arranger of music and a singer of noted repute, with a rich pleasing baritone voice that always charms his hearers. He is a great organizer and has no arranged matters by his ability to maneuver that the church is organized along lines of general activity as never before. Among the much needed improvements being done at present are the reconstruction of the pipe organ, which will operate by motive power, and the installation of electric lights in church and parsonage which will add to the beauty and dignity of the same and be a very valuable asset to its life. Much credit is also due our pastor for planning and financing the great fall rally just closed. He, together with his efficient Board of Trustees, so arranged matters that the loyal hearted women captains, the queens of creation, and of the church, with an unlimited amount of inspiration and stinktuitiveness, caught hold of the great task which was before them and together with a generous-hearted public, had the largest rally that has ever been known in the history of the Grand Old Church, raising in cash $1,082.11 and well may we add that God, through the wideness of His mercy, and by the kindness of His justice, blessed us in our efforts for which we give thanks and praise to His name "for the Lord has done marvellous things" and the church today is in a flourishing condition and is a lively spoke in the wheel of progressiveness. It is one of those churches among the many that the connection can well afford to be proud of It is African Methodist pure and simple but in spirit and large heartedness it is as broad as the universe. It is a church known throughout the realms of African Methodism and stands second to none, all things being equal, holding out an exemplary life to the churches at large. She stands as a beacon light and is pleasing in His sight. The people of Ebenezer are noted for their loyalty. They are a loyal people to the core and strict devotees to African Methodism. They are a people filled with the spirit of true Christian fortitude, filled with that fervency and zeal and that characteristic of spirit and of hope that actuates true principle and love of service. A people filled with the great spirit of benevolence; a people that are warm, kind, congenial, tender and affectionate and ever on the alert in the interests of a righteous cause. The following named captains led on by God and inspired by the pastor and officials, led the forces in our effort backed up by that splendid spirit of cooperation and helpfulness, that oneness of action, that oneness of purpose and that unanimity of effort that brought that glorious result for which God be praised and the people thanked:— Mrs. M.

Washington and that his preaching of the doctrines that pleased white Southerners resulted in his becoming a worldwide-known figure was asserted by Rev. Jas. R. L. Diggs at the weekly meeting of the Baptist Ministerial Union Monday. He was attacking some of the views brought out by Rev. D. N. Tate, who opened the program of the meeting. Rev. Tate said that the Negro had not equalled the standard of the white man in many things. Dr. Diggs, who took issue with some of the assertions of the essayist, said that Booker Washington had done a great work, but that some of the views he disseminated about the race had created a wrong impression. "Give me a million dollars," he declared, "and I could build a school that will bring exceptional prominence to me." He advised a study of past achievements of the race and attacked some current ethnological opinions concerning the Negro. Rev. D. G. Mack took a decided stand against bringing secular matters into the meeting for discussion. Ministers should devote their entire time to spiritual work, he declared. Rev. J. A. Fry said that the Negro had made fine progress, but that many, including some ministers, would not follow leadership. Rev. P. C. Neal said that one of the Baltimore newspapers in commenting on Schwab's dinner, said that it had remained for outsiders to come here and make white Baltimore take a "hunch," and that was a sufficient answer to some of the criticisms made by the essayist. "We should noe expect God to put us in the white man's business, but acquire wealth and get there," said Dr. Harvey Johnson. A number of other ministers took part in the discussion. DR. SEATON NOT ILL The ministers of the city have been greatly relieved by learning that Dr. Daniel P. Seaton, presiding elder of the Potomac District of the Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is not paralyzed, as had been reported. The rumor reached Washington last week from Dr. Seaton's home at Lincoln, Md. A telephone message to him asking if he were ill, was misunderstood, the minister replacing in the negative. Baltimore ministers also made inquiries, and Rev. P. J. Jordan relieved their anxiety when he reported at the Ministerial Meeting on Monday that the rumor was unfounded. Dr. Seaton, though past eighty, is very active and is one of the best known ministers in the conference. LODGEMEN AT CHURCH A large number of members of local lodges of the Fishermen of Galilee turned out at Whatecoat M. E. Church to listen to a sermon by Rev. John A. Holmes Sunday night, the occasion being the thirteenth anniversary of the Order. THE AFRO-AMERICAN Charles R. Uncles a monster testimonial in honor of the elevation to the Priesthood. Preparing Testimonial for Father Uncles Local Catholics and other citizens are planning a big testimonial reception to Rev. C. Randolph Uncles on January 8th, the occasion being the twenty-fifth anniversary of his elevation to the priesthood. He was the first colored man to be elevated to the priesthood in this country, and Catholics of both races as well as members of other denominations will join in the celebration. It is planned to present him a testimonial gift of $1000 on the night of the reception. On the morning of the celebration a solemn high mass will be celebrated at St. Francis Navier Catholic Church at which time Cardinal Gibbons and other notables are expected to be present. Benediction services will take place at St. Peter Chaver's Church. Father Uncles is a native of Maryland. Before entering St. Hyacinth's College, Canada, to get his scholastic training for the priesthood, he taught school in Baltimore County. He received his theological training at St. Mary's Seminary, this city, where Cardinal Gibbons was also educated. He has been an instructor at Epiphany, Apostolic College, Walbrook for a num ber of years. The Catholic committee planning the celebration is headed by C. Marcellus Dorsey, Royal G. Addison being the secretary. A committee of citizens, headed by Mason A. Hawkins is also aiding in the effort to make the celebration a big success. REV. BROWN READS PAPER Rev. W. T. Brown read a paper on "Better Methods of Preaching" before the A. M. E. Ministerial Meeting on Monday. A general discussion followed. Next Monday will be field day.

And they were wooden chairs at that --- Baltimore needs a Pushing Committee to get behind the Y. M. C. A. the Booker T. Washington Fund, a new High School, paying for Bethel A. M. E.

A sort of getting together for the purpose of a closer union of our forces and the lining up of our activities. Rightly managed they could be made very useful. Come on fellows, start something. No matter what any one believes as to the Negro remaining in the South there are certain facts that prevail, which in the course of time must have its weight in largely determining just to what extent he shall remain there. At present conditions are such, that unless there is a considerable change, more and more, and in still larger numbers the colored people are going to get out of that part of the country regardless of what might await them in the several sections in which they will eventually find themselves. Just to what extent this exodus will make itself felt in the minds and hearts of the Southern white man is a question the future must decide. There is a feeling, growing daily, even among the best element of our people, that sooner or later, if the colored man is to better his condition, he must get out of the South, and that as soon as he possibly can go. The following letter from one of the most prominent men in the South speaks for itself: To the Editor:— Dear Sir:—Enclosed is a clipping which I believe is well worth reprinting. It shows the temper of the people who see their labor leaving them. "For God's sake urge our people to leave these lawless sections, and tell our people in the North to receive kindly these poor oppressed fugitives." Yours..... For obvious reasons the name is with held, but who can read between the lines of this short letter without seeing what is behind it. When a law abiding, progressive man, raising a respectable family, and saving his earnings can be lynched, simply because he has a controversy with a white man about a matter of business, then what are the rest to expect? That our people in the South have fallen upon evil times there is no gainsaying. What is best to do is a question that is going to puzzle the minds of the best thinking men of both races. CITT DOWN TO BUSINESS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS It looks very much like we are not going to get any money for the new High School this year, notwithstanding the colored people voted almost solidly for the million dollar school loan. Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars is all the Board of Estimates have allowed the School Board this year for new schools and for improvements on old school houses. The condition of the Colored High School is, to say the least, deplorable. In an unsuitable annex are crowded a large number of classes, and the children from these classes have to go in all kinds of weather from there to the High School building. In addition to this there is no assembly room in the building and the children have to assemble in a church, half a block from the school and go from there to the main school to their classes. The rents alone for these additional accommodations would nearly if not quite pay the interest on the money appropriated for a new building. School No. 112 is, if possible, even in a worse condition. In addition to several portable school buildings erected in the yard there is an annex, which if a fire should break out, would in all probability be the cause of the sacrifice of a number of lives. The children who occupy this building have to climb an outside flight of stairs which in winter weather are decidedly unsafe. This school, with nearly two thousand children is most inadequately provided for. Now what are we going to do about it? Probably notting, as usual. However, would it not be a good thing if there was a mass-meeting called at some of our prominent churches and have the matter discussed and a committee appointed to take up this matter? It seems to us that this would be a good thing, at least worth while trying. It has been said of us that we are long on talk and short on activity. In a large measure this is true. Suppose, we for once get down to business. ONE WAY TO REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING. Due to the activities of the Housewives' League, eggs in New York dropped two cents in a single day. One of the methods employed by the League is the so-called endless chain of telephone appeals. One woman called twenty-five of her friends, asked them to abstain from the use of eggs for two weeks, and then asked each of these to call up twenty-five of her friends and deliver the same message. At the end of a single day of this sort of campaigning the retail dealers were forced to lower the price two cents on the dozen in order to attract purchasers. At Lexington Market last Wednesday the retail price of turkeys fell as low as 20 cents per pound from 30 and 45 cents. The public, in an unorganized, but nevertheless organized boycott, simply refused to buy turkey at the price offered, and the retailers fearful of having a left-over stock were glad enough to sell at a very low figure. All of this goes to show a method of reducing the cost of living without petitioning to Congress for legislation. Of course, if housewives could go without buying anything, butter, eggs, turkeys and other commodities would soon reach the point where they would have no market value at all. Since it is unlikely that we will ever stop eating, and therefore buying, the next best thing seems to be to urge the people of the country to study the value of the different foods from a health standpoint, with the idea of substituting a cheaper food, whenever the price of desired products gets beyond the purchasers pocketbook. ANOTHER WAY TO STOP LYNCHING A news article from an East St. Louis paper announces that the Federal Court of that place awarded the mother of a Sicilian $700, because he had been lynched by a mob a year or two ago. It seems that two Sicilians got the better of two American miners in an altercation, and eventually killed them. A mob captured one of the foreigners and hanged him. The result of this case calls to mind that two States in the Union, Illinois and New Hampshire, have laws requiring the commonwealth to pay damages to the dependents of a man who is lynched. To be sure the sum paid is not intended to reimburse the family for the loss it sustains, but is rather a fine upon the commonwealth that violates its settled procedure in the handling of persons accused of crime. The failure of the State of Georgia in which more lynchings occur than in any other, to pass a law at the last session of the legislature automatically dismissing a sheriff, who allows his prisoner to be lynched, and the attitude of the citizens of Abbeville South Carolina, who not only lynched a colored man worth $20,000 but attempted to deprive his family of their property, is the best indication how far the communities themselves are likely to place upon the statute books laws like those of Illinois and New Hampshire. Perhaps the only way to stop lynching, as an old colored man remarked is "to stop it." Be that as it may, it does seem that a federal government anxious to do something beside protest at German and Turkish atrocities might do well to charge Southern communities for their usual "public picnics," and then see how popular they would be. Clarksburg, Md., November 20 The Baltimore Rod and Gun Club were guests of the members of the Glenwood Gun Club at the residence of Mr. George Snowden, near here on Thanksgiving day at the annual shoot of the latter organization. During the day twenty-two contestants faced the trips in a 59-bird event and despite a stiff wind that blew across the field and made accurate sight difficult some good scores were made. The first prize, a beautiful gun case, was won by Mr. Hill, of the Glenwood club, who broke 44 out of his ditty. Dr. R. G. Baker, of the Baltimore team, was a close second, with 42 while Captain George W. Brown was third with 40. S. T. Hill, Norris, and Thomas Snowden, also made good scores. In the last 25 birds, Hill, the winner, broke the first 24 and missed on the last shot. The first prize in the twenty-five bird race, a handsome gun pad, went to Mr. Morris of the Glenwood club, who after a tie with T.Snowden at 21, broke the first bird in the shoot off, while his rival missed. Following the shoot a Thanksgiving dinner was served to the members of both clubs by the wives of the members of the Glenwood Club. Among the Baltimoreans present were Captain George Brown. Dr. H. E. Young, Captain White, Dr. R. G. Baker. Mr. and Mrs. J. Johnson, Messrs. Luther Tucker, Walter Washington, George Anderson, J. L. Easty, G. B. Murphy and D. H. Murphy. Mr S. T. Hill is president of the entertaining club A number of the Baltimoreans remained over to enjoy a hunting trip on Friday. BALTDIORE HONORS BISHOP L. N. ROSS The religious and educational needs of the inhabitants of West Africa were pointed out at Bethel I. N. Ross Monday night. There was a good outpouring of Baltimoreans of all religious beliefs to honor the prelate, who pastored here until his elevation to the blasphemic last May. Mr. Warner T. McGuinn delivered the principal address of the evening, mentioning the gratification with which Baltimore heard of the elevation of the guest of the evening. Revs. P. C. Neal and George F. Bragg, Jr. were among the others who spoke. Bishop Ross delivered a happy addressing, speaking of the hold that Baltimore has upon him and of the many evidences of friendship seen while living here. He said that he intended sailing for his work in West Africa as soon as war conditions permitted, and that he was in constant communication with people living there and interested in the work of the African Methodist Church. A substantial collection was taken for the work in West Africa, after which a collation was served. See the reproduction of "Bul-Bul" Monday night at Metropolitan M. E. Church.

Every once in a while, like the proverbial "bad penny" Booster Knock bobs up at the office and begs that he be "given another chance," so we are going to try him on the once-a-month scale and if he steps on the corn of any of our good readers you will know it by seeing the space we are now giving to him filled with something else.—The Editor. I am wondering if the head officials of Bethel Church will consider me officious if I would suggest that the clock which "adds" to the beauty of the front of that church needs winding. For twelve months, more or less it has been standing with the hands in the same position. Maybe the atmospheric conditions have something to do with the "inner works" of this wonderful timepiece. My impression is that a clock is made to keep time, and when it ceases to perform its functions, it immediately ceases to be of service. As an incentive, the clock of which we speak seems to be a Jonah, judging from its movements. It is always a pleasure to note the progress of our young men, when with our pomp and ceremony they start to do something. In this connection Mr. Henry Hale is to be congratulated on the fine start he has made in his store. He ought to succeed, first because he has shown that he is anxious to give the best that is to be had at a little less, as he says, than the other fellow selling the same goods, sells it and second, because there are enough colored persons in the immediate vicinity of his store to make him succeed. A number of my friends have on more than one occasion told me that they did not like the "atmosphere" of the "little corner grocery." Now here is the "little corner grocery" with the big atmosphere. Kick in brothers. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People seems to be all in. In fact it has never been very much since Dr. Cardozo resigned as president. During his administration the people of the city showed that they were not only willing to support the movement. But to some of the members it seemed as if the Doctor was getting too many people interested. Their idea of an organization of this character was of the "pink tea" variety. Of course this attitude don't go with the rank and file of Baltimore's citizens, most of whom are plain, honest, and hard-working people, so they dropped Mr. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People like a "hot brick." There are other reasons why the local branch seems to be on its last legs and they will be given as soon as the facts can be gotten. At the recent election of officers one would have thought the presidency were suffering from infantile paralysis judging from the haste with which those who were mentioned for that exiled position withdrew their names. And speaking of the above reminds me that this is not the first time some of our so-called big men have discouraged those who have made attempts to do things. Dr. Cardozo during his encumebency as president of the local branch proved to be a hustler, but his efforts were belittled by those who thought they might not get a big enough slice of the glory, so they proceeded to "sit right down on him." with the result that other young men who might become active feel that there is no chance for a man unless he is in the "charmed circle." Me thinks it is about time for a new deal. The unveiling of the Dunhar Tablet at the new Paul Laurence Dunbar School brings attention to the work of the Equitable Improvement Association of East Baltimore, who presented the tablet. This new school, it will be remembered, was secured through the efforts of this organization. It might also be mentioned that no great city-wide campaign was inaugurated. no "great big citizens" were invited to head a committee of one hundred to wait on the Mayor, nor was their opinion asked in the matter. Simply a group of earnest men banded together with a purpose to do something, were able to impress the powers-that-bear, that the new school was the result. Mr. William Anderson principal of the school, had the right idea, when he enlisted the cooperation of the people who believe in doing things and not those who in high sounding phrases can tell a thousand good ways how a thing ought to be done. Now let us get up a Citizens' Improvement Association of Northwest Baltimore and maybe we will soon be able to boast of a new high school. Those who have had charge of this project seem thus far to have made a sorry mess of the affair. Speaking of progress, one wants to look at Mr. Joseph S. Fennell, generally known as Fennell, as some "progresser." Here is an example of what a man can do who has the ambition, the push and the perseverance. Without noise and sounding cymbals he has made a progress, that is, to say the least, astonishing, in so short a time. His new drug store is a thing of beauty and adaptability to his growing custom. That he will continue to succeed is a foregone conclusion. The Art Club, as a result of the benefit performance at the Colonial Theatre given under its auspices, was able to give $50 towards purchasing shoes for the boys at the Maryland Home for Friendless Children. The Minerva Art and Embroidery Club has also helped the endeavors of the Day Nursery and Provident Hospital. All of which goes to show what can be done when there is the WILL to do. More organizations of this kind are sorely needed. Most of the members comprising both of these organizations are young ladies and it is refreshing to see that they have realized the need of their efforts along lines of social service. Those who have for years borne the brunt of this work will certainly welcome the acquisition of such earnest young workers. Let us do all we can to encourage them.* A. A prosperous farmer, worth $10,000, lynched at Abbewille, S. C., because, it is still be cursed a white storkeeper, who called him (Crawford) a flier Ministry to Help Colored Laborers That the ministry should look after the moral uplift of the thousands of colored men who may be attracted to and around Baltimore by the big industrial opportunities offered was urged by Rev. A. J. Mitchell. In an address before the Methodist Episcopal Ministerial Meeting Monday. He mentioned the great possibilities that this class of labor have, and declared that their social and religious uplift should be the concern of the ministers. "We who are enlightened," he went on to say, "should give attention to the social problems involved, and should realize that thought and intelligent interest may do much in adding those not so favored." He mentioned his interest in colored women who are working at several local factories, and said the wages at one averaged for the colored women $7.56 per week. He declared that the subject of tuberculosis and alcoholism must be studied by those who would uplift the masses of their people. He said that from a physical standpoint he considered all-night shouting in church bands as bad as dancing all night as both unfited the participants for doing good work the next day. Dr. J. O. Spencer, president of Morgan College, said that the problem was to reach after the man in his most unfavorable condition, so that when they climbed higher in the industrial scale they would not then frown upon religion and religious workers seeking after their welfare. Revs. Naylor, Hays and Williams were among the others who discussed the subject from their various viewpoints. Come to the Mission at St. Mary's WINS $3.00 PRIZE Leon Upshur, of 533 Lambert street, is a happy boy because he won the $33 gold piece offered by the Afro-American Order of Owls in a raffle held Wednesday evening of last week. Leon, who is nine years of age, says he has no fears of Santa Claus not visiting him this year. DR. L. L. THOMAS LOSES POSITION The Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church reorganized recently and abolished the positions of field secretaries. By this action, Dr. L. L. Thomas, who has been field secretary for more than a decade, has lost his position. He is one of the best known ministers in the country, and has done a decidedly good work for his church. He has been a member of the Washington Conference for more than 30 years. MASS MEETINGS FOR MORGAN COLLEGE Two big educational mass meetings in the interest of the campaign that Morgan College is waging for $50,000 will be held next Friday night—one at Sharp Street Memorial Church and the other at John Wesley Church.

Morris Gives Fine Entertainment for Howard Orphanage. The Howard Orphanage and industrial school, founded in Brooklyn and now located at Kings Park, N. Y. began the observance of its fiftieth anniversary with a classical concert, featuring compositions by colored authors, at Kismet temple, Brooklyn, on Thursday evening, Nov. 16. The concert was got up by Miss Etta Hamilton Morris, a white lady, who became much interested in the work the school is doing among more than 200 colored orphans. Miss Morris heard the children sing at a public meeting in one of the churches in Brooklyn not long ago and was greatly pleased with their efforts. She afterward held a conference with Mrs. Mary E. Gordon, who is the matron and superintendent of the orphanage, which resulted in the splendid entertainment above mentioned, which was a financial success. Among the noted composers who took part in the concert program were Harry T. Burleigh and J. R. Europe. The Philomela Che club and a string quintet under Felix Weir were also heard to good advantage.

Church, corner Dolphin 3rd, at 3:30 o'clock, Memorial Exercises in and MRS. SUSIE E. ROSS. The program the Missionary Auxillaries of the Annapolis e both Invited to Attend Did you ever stop to think how much of the daily routine of our life or how many unnecessary things we do that is just a habit. When we insist that we can't possibly eat our breakfast in the morning or that we wouldn't enjoy it, if we tried to eat, it is just a habit we've got into and if we would come down stairs with a kindly feeling in our heart for the one who has labored so hard to cater to our appetite, and in a cheerful humor, we would be surprised how much better our food would taste and what a really good breakfast we can eat. Some of us insist that we must have a cup of boiling hot water before each meal served to us right at the table, if we do not get it then we can not eat, no matter how much extra trouble it involves or who has to be worried we must have that water boiling hot, it is just a habit formed by us which we could easily break if we tried, but do we ever try to break such habits? You know the old saying, "Early to bed and early to rise" has been with us for generations and because our great, great grandparents said so and we have also had so very much confidence in any and everything they told us—because they prospered and people respected them—we have always tried to emulate their example and have our children, grandchildren and great, grandchildren do the same— But did you ever stop to think how hard it is for you to keep your belief in their genuineness, when people all around you are telling you it isn't so? You've formed the habit and it is hard to break. Yet not long ago I read either in a magazine or a newspaper. I don't remember which, that Holland had changed the time for her people. Everybody was ordered to get up an hour earlier and go to work and to school an hour earlier and the report said there were only a few children late for school and still fewer workmen late for work on that first morning. Just think what it meant over 6,000,000 people ordered to break the habit of not only a lifetime but of generations, and breaking it so easily almost in less time than it takes to tell of it. Why can't we break all useless habits? Is it necessary that we allow ourselves to become a regular grouch, or that we constantly walk around with a chip on our shoulder and a look that says to you as plain as if we spoke it, touch it if you dare, we are looking for trouble. When you stop to think of how easy those six millions and over of people broke the habit of a generation of life times, then how easy it should be for us to break loose from some of the pernicious habits that hold us in their grip like grim death. I don't mean the habits of loyalty, of truth, of justice, of mercy, of honesty—they are the ones we need to cultivate, because they are the ones that pay loyalty to our parents, the truth as it was taught us by our mothers, mercy shown to those less fortunate, justice meted out to those deserving ones, honesty held tight by the hand—they are all the same dear habits taught us years ago and are to be kept the same year in and year out clear into eternity. But it is the trifling little persimilitude habits that we must try to get rid of and that we must try to break. If a whole nation can break the time habit in just a few seconds that it takes a man to decree it, then I can break the little insignificant habits that have been accumulating in my diary and start tomorrow's page with a better pen or a sharper pencil and keep a cleaner record in the future. Can't you? MARGARET BLACK WHAT I HAVE FOUND NEW IN MAGAZINES. The Half Century Magazine published by a company of the same name—a set of progressive colored people—of Chicago, who is putting on the market a magazine of which our people should be proud. Its cover page, its illustrations and its fashion department are all new in magazine venture and it is certainly to be commended on the stand it is taking. The short stories for November by Bettie Madison and William Louis Board, are exceptionally good. From beginning to end it is bimiful of good things and I can only wish for the editors continued success and a larger magazine. --- The women of Myersdale have been stirred to action by the segregation of some of our people in a local theatre and on December 7th, 1916 will endeavor to organize a branch of the N. A. C. P. in that small Burg at which time Dr. W. E. DuEois, will lecture. We wish for them an overwhelming success. Have you thought that it is soon time for Xmas just twenty-three days and the Yuletide will be with us. If you haven't made your Xmas cookies then try my recipes. PLAIN COOKIES 2 eggs, 2 cups sugar, 1 cup sweet milk, 1 and a fourth cups of lard and butter mixed, 2 teaspoons bakepowder, 1 tablespoonful vanilla; flour enough to stiffen. Do not make too stiff and bake in a quick oven. 1½ cups sugar, 1 cup of butter, ½ cup of molasses, 2 cups seedless raisins, 1 cup currants, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon each of soda, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg; ½ cup of English walnuts. Enough flour to mix soft as can be rolled. Run the raisins, currants and nuts thru the meat grinder or chop very fine before adding to other ingredients. An ordinary school blackboard eraser moistened with coal-oil and kept near the kitchen range, wipes off all the dust and saves soiling one's hands. Where there are hot air registers use the eraser to clean them as well. A good gift for a young married woman is a recipe book made up of your favorite recipes and a "Household Hints" book. 'If she is more interested in housekeeping than voting, she will be delighted with both books. SUCCESSFUL CHURCH RALLIES Cambridge, Md., November 30.—Bishop I. N. Ross filled the pulpit at Bethel A. M. E. Church twice Sunday, the occasion being the captains' rally. Rev. J. S. Collins, of Easton, filled the pulpit in the afternoon. The collection for the day amounted to $453.25, of which Mrs. Mary I. Henry and Mrs. Mary "Banton raised the highest amounts as captains. A successful rally was held at Waugh M. E. Church Sunday, Mrs. H. M. St. Clair raising $300 in a total of $1,100.65. Mrs. Mary Tyler, who recently underwent an operation at the local hospital, is improving at home. LORELY ITEMS Lorely, Md., November 30—Mrs. J. Jones and daughter, Mrs. Solomon Proctor, of Baltimore, attended the meeting of the auxiliary Sunday. Rev. S. R. Hughes will preach this Sunday at the M. E. Church. The rag social will be given next Wednesday night, instead of Thursday. FLAG MISUSING CHARGED Boston, Mass.—David Bishop, of Roxbury, was riding along in his wagon humming "Every Race has a Flag but the Negro" when a policeman halted him. "What are you doing to the American flag?" the cop asked. "It is not my flag," John said, "though it may be yours." "Tell it to the judge," said the cop, as he told Bishop to drive him to the police station. There Bishop was charged with misusing the American flag by using it as bagging to keep furniture from being scratched. "Gullity" said the court, and Bishop is still wondering if the American flag is mimeant for the colored race. DR. GRANDISON TALKS TO MEN That young men should not sell their manhood for glory in strictly worldly things was urged by Rev. C. N. Grandison at First Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, where a community mass meeting was held under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. He told the Biblical story of Esau's having lost his kingship for a mess of pottage and declared that the young men of today must look for the higher and not the lower things of life. The Y. M. C. A. Choir furnished music for the occasion. TO REPAVE STREETS Among the many streets that will be repaired with improvement paving during the coming year are Pine street from Saratoga to George; St. Mary Street, Orchard street, Hoffman street. from Eutaw to Myrtle avenue; Eaker street west from Draud Hill avenue; Calhoun street; Carrollton avenue and Russell street. Discriminate Against Teachers The ordinance of the Board of Estimates for 1917, which came before the City Council this week, contains a few apparent discriminations against the colored people. The discriminations mainly are that no salary increases are provided for the teachers in the Colored High School and the Colored Teachers' Training School, while instructors in the four white high schools and the white Teachers' Training School will get salary increases amounting to $6650. There are no apparent discriminations in the elementary schools, however. $300 is appropriated for the annual field day among colored and white pupils. $250,000 is given for two new school buildings out of the recent school loan. one of which may be for colored pupils in Northwest Baltimore. Miss Susie Trust, of 1400 Myrtle avenue spent Thanksgiving in Washington as the guest of Mrs. Archibald Runner. Mr. William H. Carrett, of 645 Haw street, who recently suffered a paralytic stroke, is slowly improving. Rev. Roy E. Mohr, of 1101 Argyle avenue has been in Philadelphia the past week looking after the work of the Colored Methodist Protestant Church. Rev. George E. Curry, pastor of Asbury M. E.

They did all they could, but the child was at death's door. The white doctor told me, (Mrs. Brooks) that he had done all he could, and there was no hope for Gladi's recovery.
