THE AFRICAN AMERICAN HUMILIATING CONDITIONS RAMPANT IN GEORGIA "Cracker" Conductors Abuse Colored Passengers On Jim-Crow Street Cars. Protest of Best Citizens of no Avail CONDITIONS IN COURTS NO BETTER Impossible For Colored Man To Fet A Square Deal From The Hands Of Judges And Juries. Thousands Still Leaving or the North Atlanta, Ga., May 6—Of all the inventions of the southern white man to humiliate the Negro the "Jim Crow" street car is far and away the worst. Bad as are the "Jim Crow" railroad cars, the street car conditions have them beat a mile. On the leading street car line, which runs thru one of the best residential streets where colored people live, a number of seats must be reserved for white passengers, no matter whether there are any passengers on the car or not. This car line runs close to Morris Brown College and Atlanta University. Should enough people get into these cars anywhere near the schools, to fill the entire car, a certain number of seats must still be reserved for white passengers, and those who can not find seats must stand up even there be no white passengers on the cars. If this is done they think the condition of those who are compelled to go on the farms will be little less than slavery. Said one man to me: I travel considerably throughout the State on business, and I am told that almost every white man goes armed while no colored persons are allowed to have arms of any kind. You car judge what conditions are by this." A man must be very careful what he says and to whom he talks down here or he is likely to get himself into some kind of trouble. If any one does not believe that the South is a hundred years behind the North and West, he has only to make a trip down here on any of the railroads and he will see for himself. A painter would starve and a painter manufacturer would go bankrupt. A whitewasher would not get a job in a week. To see a whitewashed barr The conductors are clothed with police powers, and woe be to the unfortunate colored person, man or woman, who happens to offend one of them. I was told by two prominent citizens, one of them a minister, that the matter had been taken up with the railroad officials, but was told that nothing could be done, and any amelioration of conditions would offend the white people. And so it goes on. Two colored boys are now awaiting trial for what turned out to be the killing of a white man who had insulted a colored boy for jostling him on a street car. The case was like this: Some words passed between the white man and the colored boy and the white man called the boy a vile name. The boy jumped off the car and threw a brick at the man, striking him on the head. The man was taken to the hospital and shortly afterward he died. One of the boys held (who is said to have thrown the brick) works for a prominent white citizen, who it is alleged, is protecting him. The other boy is said to be entirely innocent. This is one of the results of street car conditions. In public office buildings, only on certain elevators are colored persons permitted to ride. I noticed, however, that white people ride in those elevators along with colored passengers, although no colored person is allowed to ride in the elevator set apart exclusively for white passengers. Even in the courthouse one sees witness rooms for colored men and rooms for colored women. Exclusive toilets for colored and even "ice water for colored" and "ice water for white" are among the signs seen there. Schools for colored children are very inadequate, and there is no such thing as a colored public high school. Private schools and colleges are the only chance colored boys and girls have for anything like secondary education. I think I mentioned once before in a letter from this city sometime ago that in the terminal station, or what we would call a union station, no colored person, unless accompanied by a white person is allowed to enter the front or main entrance. There is a "side entrance" for colored people and they must go in and out there. The feeling against the conditions is deep and in discussing them with the thinking class of people, one often hears a deep drawn sigh, as if they were thinking "Oh Lord, how long?" But with it all there is a feeling that sometime they will realize a better condition. All hope is not yet lost in the breasts of these people. Many of them do not want to leave their homes where they were born and have lived all their lives. Many of them have built up good businesses, have good homes and lovely children. Yet they feel that their children ought to have a better atmosphere in which to live and thrive. Some of them are sending their children to the North to school, and when they grow up, they do not in many instances, return to their old homes. Thus the parents are left to get along as best they can. One insurance came under my notice: An estimable matron, telling of her two sons, said: "They have good positions up North, and I seldom hear from them, although they are both good boys and would see me suffer for nothing. I go to see them sometimes, but they never come home." And this is the condition of many. There are many misgivings here as to the selective conscription act. Some think it will take away the white men only and leave the colored men to be drafted on the farms. If this is done they think the condition of those who are compelled to go on the farms will be little less than slavery. Said one man to me: "I travel considerably throughout the State on business, and I am told that almost every white man goes armed, while no colored persons are allowed to have arms of any kind. You can judge what conditions are by this." A man must be very careful what he says and to whom he talks down here or he is likely to get himself into some kind of trouble. If any one does not believe that the South is a hundred years behind the North and West, he has only to make a trip down here on any of the railroads and he will see for himself. A painter would starve and a paint manufacturer would go bankrupt. A whitewasher would not get a job in a week. To see a whitewashed barn or house would be an attraction almost equal to a circus. Mr. Washington must have had strongly in mind many of these things I have seen when he said "No man can keep another down in the ditch unless he stays there with him." In trying to keep the Negro down, the white South is certainly and surely keeping itself down, no matter how it may think otherwise. There is no better country on earth than the South, and it could be made to bloom and blossom as the rose. If it could ever be gotten into the white man's head that by helping the Negro to a higher and better life he would be doing that which would lift himself to a higher sphere of life and activity. The South may some day learn this lesson, but we are afraid this generation and perhaps the next will have to pass away before it does so. Let us hope, however, the lesson will soon be learned. For the present we do not care to live in the South and especially in Georgia. Senator J. B. Foraker Was Staunch Friend of the Race Cincinnati, O. May 11—Former United States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, who died here Thursday, was an earnest and insistent advocate of the rights of the Negro. During his senatorial career, he was an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt, even when Mark Hanna wanted the presidential nomination. The discharge of the 167 colored troopers by Roosevelt brought him and Foraker at the parting of the ways, the latter vigorously championing the cause of the soldiers. In an impassioned speech on the floor of the Senate late in 190 he declared that President Roosevelt had miscoceived his constitutional powers in discharging the 167 men of the 25th Infantry for alleged complication in the Brownsville raid. The following April he delivered a three-hour speech attacking the discharge. The fight became so furious that Roosevelt appointed Ralph Tyler, of Ohio, to be auditor of the Navy Department, in an effort to wean the colored vote away from the Senator. It was at this time that Foraker called Booker T. Washington the "third Senator from Ohio." Senator Foraker never ceased in his opposition against the discharge of the colored soldiers. He delivered an address before the session of the Baltimore A. M. E. Conference in Washington, in April 1808, at which time he attacked Roosevelt. Just before he retired from the United States Senate in 1909, the colored citizens of Washington presented him a handsome silver loving cup for his strong stand against the Brownville discharge. CHAS. ANDERSON ON COMMITTEE Charles W. Anderson, supervisor of agriculture, was appointed a member of the general committee that had charge of the entertainment of General Joffre. M.

According to a cablegram received by Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General to the United States, the little West African republic has cast its lot with the Allies. The cablegram, which is signed by Secretary of State D. B. King, reads: "Liberia this day severed relations with the Imperial Government of Germany. Exequatur of German representatives revolted. Liberian attitude one of sympathetic cooperation with the United States and Allied governments. Inform all officers and Liberians within your jurisdiction, also the Government of the United States to which you are accredited." Dr. Lyon immediately notified Secretary of State Lansing of the attitude of the Liberian government. The decision of Liberia is especially gratifying to the many friends of the little republic in this country. Unfriendly sources had accused it of leaning toward Germany. Foodstuffs in Liberia have soared higher than in the United States and much suffering has resulted. Dr. Lyon is making an appeal for funds to relieve the distressing situation among the natives there. He would like to announce a tidy sum when Liberia celebrates its Independence Day on July 26. Jury Decides Against Shriners in Atlanta Atlanta, Ga., May 10—Following a week's trial in the civil branch of the Superior Court of Fulton county, an allwhite jury brought in a verdict Tuesday which prevents Rabban Temple of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine from using the signs, grips and other things peculiar to the Mystic Shrine. The case, which has been hanging fire for nearly two years, was the result of an effort on the part of Yarab Temple (white) to put colored Mystic Shriners out of business. The decision in the case only affects Rabban Temple, however. The first trial of the case resulted in a verdict for Rabban Temple. A "cracker" judge decided against the temple on the second trial, and the Supreme Court of Georgia remanded the case back to the lower courts for a trial on its merits. The arguments made by the attorneys of the white Shriners were entirely of a prejudicial sort, which means, of course, that whites win in the South. An appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court of Georgia, and if necessary, to the United States Supreme Court. Delaware Governor Confers With Colored Men Dover, Del., May 9—At the invitation of Governor Townsend, a number of colored men had a conference with him a few days ago regarding the part that colored people of Delaware would take in aiding the country in the present war crisis. The gentlemen who met the governor were: Dr. W. C. Jason, Dr. W. M. Henry and J. B. Alken, of Dover; Dr. S. G. Elbert, John O. Hopkins, Dr. Conwell Bantom, Charles Coulbourne and L. A. Relding, of Wilmington, and G. L. Waters, of Bridgeville. After fully discussing the situation, it was agreed that the colored population would form their own committee and take up the work in every school district in the state, to consider what may be done and what may be expected of the employed and unemployed. It was further agreed to institute a farm bureau so that the exact amount of labor available may be ascertained. Organization was effected by the selection of Professor W. C. Jason as chairman and Dr. William M. Henry of Dover, secretary. An advisory committee, consisting of Professor Jason, Dr. Banton, Dr. Elbert and G. L. Waters, was appointed. PRESS RELEASED New York, May 10—By order of the District Akorney, James H.

May 10—The annual session of the Philadelphia Conference of the A. M. E. Church will begin here next Wednesday. Among the changes expected will be the sending of a new pastor to Alten Church, this city, the term of Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter having expired. Bishop Evans Tyre will preside. BIG ATHLETIC MEET TO-DAY Nearly 300 Athletes Entered For Biggest Tthletic Event of the Season at Car- Over 200 graded school boys, and nearly half that number of athletes from local clubs, high schools and colleges as well as a number of entrants from Washington, will await the call to the scratch at Carroll Park today at 1 o'clock, in the biggest outdoor athletic meet that has ever been held in this city. The meet is under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. The committee in charge of the affair has been working hard to get the interest in the meet at fever heat, and how well they have succeeded is easily attested by the large entry list for the events. Several of the schools have entered nearly half hundred boys each and the men in charge of them deserve the greatest credit for the work and time they have given to the training of the boys. Perhaps at no school has the meet aroused any greater interest than at School No. 110 (Waesche street.) Not only have the boys themselves evinced interest, but the entire faculty, as well as the rest of the boys and girls have joined hands in a supreme effort to have their representatives make the best showing possible. Just a few days ago they raised over $25 to equip their boys with uniforms that would make them appear to the best advantage when they are called to toe the mark, and unless signs fall the boys can be reckoned to give a good account of themselves. Competition will be especially keen in the two closed events, which are the 220 yard dash, and the mile relay, the clubs and schools having entered their best men in these events with the hope of carrying off the honors. The other championship events in which the visitors will be allowed to participate will also be marked by desperate struggles. Howard University has entered a strong team of athletes, in an endure or to repeat her performance of two years ago when at the indoor meet of St. Mary's Athletic Association she entered a team that carried home the team trophy; but the local teams are equally determined that she shall not get off so easily and to that end are training faithfully, and have entered their best men in each event in which that man will have an equal chance. Now if you want to see some real running, jumping and other athletic feats of strength and skill and endurance, take the Columbia avenue car and ride to Carroll park and be there by 1 o'clock. Grammar school boys entered, 200; Dunbair, 10; Howard University, 16; Morgan College, 11; St. Mary's A. A. 2; Y. M. C. A. 3; Golden Arrow A. C. 1; Bellmen's Club, 2; High School, 10. Secretary Booker says that all the contestants must be on the field at 12.15 sharp in order that they might be weighed in and receive their numbers. WALKS LONG WAYS TO ENLIST Camden. N. J., May 9—W. A. Scott walked all the way from Albion to try to enlist in one of the United States regiments, only to find that all colored regiments are filled and no more recruits are being taken at present. PROMINENT LADY DIES Chicago, May 9—Mrs. Jessie Johnson died here last Thursday from pneumonia. She was the wife of Mr. Elijah Johnson, a large real estate holder. Fenton Johnson, the poet, and Dr. Alfred Johnson, are her sons. Congressman Presents Petition to the Washington, May 9—Congressman Tinkham, of Boston, presented to President Wilson forwarded to him by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urging against alleged discrimination against members of the colored race by the war department. The petition came to Mr. Tinkham from Butler R. Wilson, secretary of the association and a member of the Massachusetts public safety committee. Accompanying it was a letter explaining that R. McCants Andrews of Boston, a graduate o Howard University, this city, and now a member of the Harvard Law School, was denied admission to Plattsburg by the orders of General Leonard Wood to the Boston recruiting office. This order states the letter, prevents the admission of colored citizens to officers' training camps unless they apply in sufficient numbers to marry the establishment of a separate camp. STUDENTS AS FARMERS Oxford, Pn., May 19—In a desire to help the United States to be prepared for its war with Germany, 168 students at Lincoln University have agreed to work on farms in Chester county during the summer. N. A. A. C. P. To Hold Annual Meeting Washington, May 8th.—Final arrangements have been made for the holding of the annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in this city, May 16th and 17th. Mr. Moorfield Story, the national president, will preside at the evening meeting on the 18th to be held at the First Congregational Church, 10th and G street which will be addressed by Dean Wun. Pickens and Charles Edward Russell. The outstanding interest of the evening, however, centres in the presentation of the third Spingarn Medal for distinguished service during the 12th which will be presented this year by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senator from Washington, a staunch friend of the Negro. The name of the candidate to whom the medal is awarded is not given out until the evening of the presentation.

Church last Sunday morning to greet the new pastor, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, and hear his inaugural sermon. At eleven o'clock almost every seat in the main auditorium was taken and the late comers were compelled to find seats in the galleries. The impression created by Dr. Brooks was a most favorable one and following a masterful sermon a number of persons, old friends who knew the pastor when he was a student at Morgan College, came forth and congratulated him. Before the sermon Dr. Brooks spoke of the grave responsibilities contending the church and said that he could do nothing without the cooperation of the people. He said that the church represented the largest venture ever undertaken by a Negro church in this country and that the duties confronting it called for heroes. The text of his declaration was as follows: "I cannot accept the responsibility and leadership of this great cathedral, without expressing to you my profound gratitude for the confidence imposed by the bishop and the church. I pray you to receive me as one sent by God to bring freedom to this struggling people, and that I may know nothing among you but Jesus Christ and him crucified. "This church represents the larger Negro vision in church-life. It is larger than any denominational proclivities. It stands for the great thought-life of the devotions and the larger endeavors of the colored race, of whatever denomination. The denomination is the minor term of the minor principle. The major term is the race's needs. It is your duty and mine to have a profound reverence for the past history of our church-life. For there is now and shall be in the future a precious thread of optimism that leads us on to a glorious triumph. "It is no violation of good taste for me to say here and now that I am weak and unworthy before you and in the sight of Him that sent me to preach the gospel to a suffering world and I shall not be able to accomplish much without sympathy and cooperation. I pray you, let me live in your love and confidence." "I have a well-defined policy; and that policy is to rule in love. That policy involves a good principle. I have none that does not. I hope you will love me as I shall love you in return. If you are good I shall love you much; and if you are bad I shall love you more. 'Unto whom am I sent but those who need me most.' You have undertaken a larger responsibility than any other Negro church since our freedom. And there are great and impending duties confronting us as a natural sequence. We need heroes for the task. There is nothing to fear; but the conditions should inspire you to make a larger investment in your labors. "I am interested in all educational work, whether denominational or secular. My sympathy is with the public school teacher, for they are doing the largest part of the constructive work in our social and moral uplift. "I am consecrated to the interest of all colored business and professions whether man is a merchant or a mouse. I believe in colored lawyers, doctors, and also in him that digs and washes dishes." At night another large audience greeted Dr. Brooks when he preached from the subject "Sailing over the Seas." The collection for the day amounted to over two hundred dollars. At the morning service Dr. Brooks was unable to complete his sermon from the subject "For Me and Mine." He announced that he would complete the subject this Sunday. Owing to Sunday being "Mother's Day" the pastor will preach from another subject Sunday and w... complete the sermon started last Sunday at another time. The members meeting on Monday night was the largest meeting of its kind ever held in the church, and was a most enthusiastic one. Dr. Brooks outlined his work for the nr two or three months, and stated the people that he was here to h pull this great church out of th' it had fallen into, and he w' their help, as it was only by a m effort that the church could succ Dr. Brooks told of a church he pastored which had paid two th' and dollars more in interest than church originally cost. "That is what the condition will be here," said. "unless we all get together a pay off some of this great big debt." The members seemed to be in accord with Dr. Brook's ideas at promised him their hearty suppo His "mock conference" idea is now full swing and he is calculating raise at his first call by this meal $5000. He did this in St. Louis, and why not here? Dr. Brooks will preach Sunday morning on "A Woman's Heart." .T THE CHURCHES. DR. HILL ELECTED PRESIDENT. Other Officers Elected by Preachers Meeting. The African Methodist Episcopal Preachers' Meeting at its regular weekly meeting Monday, at Bethel A. M. E. Church, elected the following officers for the next six months: D. G. Hill, president; C. H. Stepteaul, vice president; E. N. Thomas, 2d vice president; J. O. Custis, secretary; C. H. Young, assistant secretary; J. W. Norris, treasurer; S. M. Johnson, librarian; C. H. Stepteaul, histographer; P. W. Wortham, A. L. Galnes and F. L. Hertzfeld, topic committee. J. H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, was asked to give some impressions of his recent visit to Atlanta. Mr. Murphy stated that he had brought a message from the Preachers' Meeting of Atlanta, to the effect that an organization of some kind should be formed to look after the large number of immigrants coming from many parts of the South, and especially Georgia, where many members of the African Methodist church are concerned, as large numbers of them are coming North. Mr. Murphy was asked to make some recommendations to the meeting next Monday as to best method to get this matter on foot. The matter of the Mt. Zion Cemetery was taken up but owing to the absence of the members of the committee appointed by the last annual conference, the matter was set for the next meeting which will be Monday, May 14th. TRUSTEES RECEIVE DEED. The trustees of Shiloh A. M. E. Church last week received a deed for two houses and lots on E 28th street, from Rev. Joseph Gwynn, a former pastor, now stationed in Greenwich, Conn. Rev. Gwynn purchased the property while he was pastor of the church with his own funds, and on receiving the amount he had invested from the congregation, made over the deed to the trustees. The property is said to be worth $2,200. The trustees are A. Washington, J. Williams, and H. West. A. B. REV. S. C. BLACKLEDGE Who was appointed to the charge of St. John's A. U. M. P. Church, Ruxton, Md., last May, has just rounded out one of the most successful years, financially, recorded in the history of the church for many years. He left last Wednesday for Havre de Grace, Md., where he will attend the annual conference which is now in session in Manley's Chapel in that town, pres- ided over by Dr. Perry E. Robison, District President. The Queen's Rally held at St. John's Church, Ruxton, last Thursday, was a grand success. The queens who took part in the rally were as follows: Miss Frances Smith, queen of America, $29.17; Miss Frances Dykes, queen of China, $28.40; Miss Bertha Williams, queen of Japan, $13.30; Mrs. Nannie Yates, queen of Itary, $32.30; Mrs. Priscilla Gardman, queen of Greece, $60.00; Miss Lizzie Smith, queen of Belgium, $18.84; Mrs. Sallie Wren, queen of Sweeden, $18.05; Mrs. Thos. Green, queen of Africa, $25.05. The grand total from all sources was $259.57. St. John's Church and pastor wish to thank the queens, maids and all who attended and took part in the exercises for their attendance and also their liberal contributions collectively and individually. We also pray the blessings of God upon you that you may from now on be successful in all of your undertakings to elevate His cause. Adv. THE HOUR OF GOD'S JUDGMENT During a wonderful vision of the Medo-Persian, Greecian and Roman Kingdoms, as recorded in the eighth chapter of Daniel, this great prophet heard two celestial beings talking about the sanctuary, one replying to question from another, sald. (Daniel 3:14) "Unto two thousand, three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed once every year on the tenth day of the seventh month, (Lev. 23:23-29). But now word comes that UNTO-or After two thousand three hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. In prophetic calculations the Bible reckons each day equivalent to a year. We read in Numbers 14:34. "After the number of the days which ye shall search the land, even forty years, each day for a year," and also in Ezekiel 4-9 a read "thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have year." here we see two prophets, Moses and Ezekiel living in widely separated ages, both understanding that a day of prophecy was equal to a year. Then then Daniel heard the words that to 2300 days, then shall the sanche be cleansed, he really was to that after 2300 YEARS, then judgment was to be staged or set books opened, Daniel 7:1-9:10.

New York, N. Y. - It is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a number of physicians in various parts of the country have been asked to explain why they prescribe it so extensively, and why it apparently produces so much better results than were obtained from the old forms of organic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given below: tions says: "As I have said a hundred times over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown instead of dosing themselves with habit forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, gripe, liver, kidner, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor the secret of great strength and endurance and milled his blood with iron before he went into the affray while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron." Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques Visiting Surgeon S.C.Jaques, M.D. F. King, M.D. Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author says "There can be no vigorous iron men with out iron. Pallor means Pallor means anemia. AN a n e m i a means iron deficiency. The skin of anemic men and women is pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron gets from the blood of women, the roses go from the cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macronutrient, spaghetti sauce, sango, farina, degreased cornmeal no longer is iron to be found. Refininf processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods and silly methods of home cookery by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which vegetables are cooked is responsible for other grave iron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe Therefore, if your youthful old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt.

Alphonsus Wallace, a physician of many years experience in this country and who has been given many honorary titles in England says "Nuxated Iron gives the weak and rundown that great vim, energy and endurance so envied by the weaklingling. Its widespread use should bring about the most startling results everywhere. The pale anaemic, nervous people now seen at every turn shuffling lifelessly along the streets should become sturdy, alert men and women of snappy stride brimming over with vim and vitality." Dr. E. Sauer a Boston physician who invented the Intravenous Infusion in Great, European Medical Institutes.

Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques Visiting Surgeon S. Falken beth's Hospital of New York City, said. I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publication as I ordinarily do not believe in it, but in the case of Nuxated iron I feel I would be remiss in my duty not to mention it. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most satisfactory and surprising results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable and wonderfully effective remedy." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan State Hospital of N. Y., and formerly assistant Physician, Brooklyn State Hospital, says: "Pa- found this an ideal restorative and upbuilding cases in these cases above mentioned." NOTE—Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. Unlike the other inorganic iron products it is easily assimilated does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in nuxated iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to return your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists.

If people would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown instead of dosing themselves with habit forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, gripe, liver, kidner, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their discases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret, he said, was taking iron—nuxated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health at 46 he was careworn and nearly all—in now at 50 after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with buoyancy of youth. Iron absolutely needed to enable your food to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tab-uplojo joa sary nuxated from three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again F. Saver. M. D. and see how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, rundown people who were ailing all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely红, themselves of all symptoms of dispesia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time, simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. Don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate, or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. The iron demanded by mother nature for the red coloring matter not the kind of children matter not the kind of children. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless.

Perhaps Haiti and Liberia only want to be in fashion. The colored man is determined that he is not going to be ignored in this great world's conflagration, and that he is going to be counted among "those present." A few days ago the announcement was made that poor little bed-ridden Hayti had entered the war against Germany, and now comes the news from far across the sea that Liberia wants to be in at the death. She too has severed relations with the Kaiser. We are wondering if the Kaiser knows anything about it. That the colored man is not wanted, at present, in the great world's war as far as the United States is concerned, is much in evidence at present, as everything is being done to keep him out as far as possible. And yet with a great flourish of trumpets, President Wilson announces that this is a war for freedom and for democracy. Mr. Wilson failed to say he meant only for white people and foreigners. And that is generally the way the Constitution is accepted by members of Mr. Wilson's party, and Mr. Wilson is no exception to the rule. We are wondering what were the feelings of former Premier Viviani as he sat in the Supreme Court of the United States and listened to the pleading of prominent lawyers for the segregation of a portion of America's population because of the color of their skins. It must have opened up a new phase of the American character with which he had not been made acquainted. REBELLION IN CUBA The rebels down in Cuba in their recent uprising, word of which reaches this country not by telegraph, but through the mouth of refugees, who report themselves to have deen forced out of the country, appear to have two scores to settle. First of all it appears that opposition to President Menocal as chief executive of the island republic does not altogether meet the approval of the darker people, who are willing to take drastic steps to secure intervention from th United States and the substitution of military government by us rather than submit longer. Secondly and equally important there is an evidence that all is not well between the white Americans and the natives. The following statement from the aide of the rebel general clearly implicates Americans in the course of natives in 1912: "You will notice that we are rebel Negroes to a man. You will remember the Negro revolution in 1912, when 5,000 Negroes were killed in the province. "We remember that too, and now that we are armed, the death of 5,000 defenseless Negroes in 1912 shall now be avenged in a horrible war, I as- sure you. So far no lives have been taken, the rebels contenting themselves with seizing the property of the whites and driving them out of the country. One refugee reports having been hanged by the neck for a while until he told the whereabouts of his property, and the others appear to have been heartily glad to leave Cuba miles behind. Clearly enough the natives have been taking lessons from the Ku- lux in our Southern States and the whites ought not to kick if they have learned the lessons well. JUST FOLKS, SAME AS OTHER FOLKS When a young white graduate of Northwestern University some twenty-five years ago hesitated to accept a call to Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia, because he doubted whether he could impart truth to a recently unencamped people, a wise old bishop of the Methos Dipstical Church laid his hands on the young man's shoulders and said in a most sincere tone, "You will need to remember that they are just folks, same as other folks." The service of Dr. E. L. Parks in Gammon dated from that justly merited rebuke Whenever the question of the fitness of the colored men for new positions in this country comes up, there are always those on hand with question as to whether or not he can fill the bill. The War Department in passing the conscription bill has apparently settled the question as to whether it desires colored citizens to fight, but leaves the question of colored officers open, because of the doubt as to whether colored officers could make good. Likewise partaking of the nature of doubt is the recent utterance of the sociologist, Professor Kelly Miller, to the effect that, colored men from the earliest American conflicts have proved their ability when led by white officers, but it is yet to be tested if they can do well when offered from among their own number. Not that Professor Miller does not believe in colored officers; to the contrary. He is of the further opinion that the lack of the technical training among such officers would be more than made up by their enthusiasm and by their sympathetic and understanding leadership. However, the good professor is still lacking in the confidence of the old Methodist bishop who told the young graduate that we "are just folks same as other folks." Toussaint L'Ouverture, the great Haitian general would have been a lieutenant all his life if he had not gotten a chance to become commander in chief, and the same is true of the famous Cuban leader, Antonio Maceo. Lieutenant Colonel Young would be a brigadier general today if he had the chance. Lieutenants Carter and Green have the ability of captains and majors, but because the War Department cannot come to see that they are folks, they are likely to die just plain lieutenants. After all, the wise old bishop was right; all human beings are just folks—a little better trained or a little worse trained, a little richer or a little poorer, a little darker or a little lighter. Characteristics that are apt to be thought racial can in the long run be shown to be due to training or wealth, or health, or something else equally irrelevant. At bottom everybody is folks, and with the same chance, there is nothing that anybody can do that somebody else cannot do. DREAMING "Ten thousand Negroes (Now fifteen thousand) have signed the roster in Roosevelt's promised division that will move upon Europe to fight for democracy and the brotherhood of man. I want to see that army cross the ocean, sweep thru southern France, on past the gates of Verdun, and reach the other side of the weeping Rhine. I fancy the watchman on the wall?》 announce to the Emperor of Germany trembling on his throne: "Flee the wrath to come; Teddy and his blacks, staring under the stars and sighing in knacking at the gates of Berlin."—R. C. Simmons to an audience of 4,000 whites in Chicago. Great fierce African giants from the French colonies have been fighting along side of Europeans in the effort to get into Germany since the very beginning of the war. If they could not turn the trick, everybody else might as well stay at home, so far as worrying the Kaiser is concerned. However, there is scarcely anyone who would accuse Mr. Simmons of lack of imagination. LATE LITERARY NEWS Negro Progress in Business .... When the census reports for 1910 were published, it was found that in the ten years, 1900-10, the Negro had made about as much progress as he had made in the previous thirty-five years. The first indication the remarkable progress which the Negro had made in this decade was revealed when the returns for agriculture were made public. From then it was found that in these ten years the value of farm property owned by Negroes was $177,404.688 to $492,921.248 or 177 per cent. In the field of business the number of Negro bankers increased from 4 to 56; restaurant keepers, from 3995 to 6389; or 59 per cent; wholesale merchants from 149 to 249; retail merchants from 9098 to 20,653; bankers; hotel keepers from 481 to 973, or 102 per cent; undertakers from 453 to 973, or 114 per cent. Excluding 10,600 boarding and lodging-house keepers, there were, in 1910, 38,382 Negroes engaged in enterprise operations of these. This did not materialize those operating barbers, or various classes of business connected with trades for which separate returns of proprietors were not made. Probably 5000 more should be added for persons operating these businesses making the total number Negroes engaged in business, in 1910, about A survey of fifty years of Negro business enterprise shows that remarkable progress has been made. There were, in 1917, 400 Negroes in some lines of businesses; they numbered about 4000. The total capital which they had invested was probably not more than $1,000,000. In 1917, Negroes are in business with about fifty thousand—Monroe Work in the Southern Workman. CELEBRATE THEIR 70TH ANNIVERSARY St. James Male Beneficial Society Organized in This City Seventy Years Ago by Free Men On last Monday night, following the regular monthly meeting of St. James Male Beneficial Society, a collation was served in honor of the seventieth anniversary of the organization. The society was organized in old St. James Church in 1847 by free colored men and had upon its roster some of the best known men of that day. The last surviving charter member, Mr. William Waters, died only last year. Dr. George F. Bragg, Jr., rector of St. James church, spoke in an interesting way of the early beginning of the organization and of the vision of the organizers. Bishop John Hure spoke of the stirring things that were happening when the society was found and said that it was good to see the young men, sons of those who were members when he came to this city, following in the footsteps of their fathers. Mr. James W. Hughe, who has been a member of the society for forty-five years, and its treasurer for the past twenty-five years, spoke of the stering character of the men who were in the society when he first became a member and of their fondness for debate. Mr. Wm. H. Anderson and Mr. Solomon Decourse were the other speakers. Mr. Decourse said that the society was antedated in this city only by the Colored Barbers' Association which was organized in 1839, and that many of the members of this organization were among the charter members of St. James society. Solos were rendered by Mr. James Nichols, Dr. O. D. Jones and Mr. James F. Fessington. Greetings were brought from the St. Andrews' Male Beneficial Society, by its president, Mr. Charles Woodland, and Mr. Murphy, presided. Mr. George J. McMurray The present officers of the organization are: George B. Murphy, president; James F. Fessenton, vice president; Walter S. Emerson, secretary; James W. Hughes, treasurer. EXCERSION RESORT OPENS Notwithstanding the first Sunday in May was an exact replica of any Sunday in January or February, about five hundred persons wended their way to Miller's Wharf and borded the steamer "Starlight" for the first excursion of the season. Captain Geo. W. Brown was there to receive them and assure them that notwithstanding the war he had so fixed things that should a German submarine see the Starlight, it would immediately submerge, in order that none of the excursionists might have their pleasures marred. The Starlight as well as the grove has been "diked up" in fine style and arrangements have been made to carry a recordbreaking number of excursionists during the coming season. Excursions will be run every Sunday during May, with one trip only, at 2:30 o'clock. The regular daily and moonlight trips will commence on May. 30th. A HOTEL SUPPER A hotel supper was given for the benefit of Clayton-Williams Academy at Pythian Castle last Thursday night.

Cole, pastor of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, announces in his advertisement this week that he will preach from the text "It is Finished." From what we can learn, it is not the intention of Dr. Cole to return here as pastor after conference. As pastor, then presiding elder, and now the present pastor of the church he has done a good work here, and feels that he would like a new pastorate. Dr. Cole goes with the good wishes not only of the members of his church but of all those citizens who know of his good work in this city. It is to be hoped that his bishop will find some good pasture for the good Doctor. MR. GLASCOE SURPRISED The members of the Ladies' Relief Corps of John A. Logan Post, G. A.

Some time previous to his death Paul Laurence Dunbar, the most gifted poet of our race, sent two stanzas of one of his unpublished poems to the Ion. N. Clark Smith, supervisor of music in the Kansas City public schools, who set them to music. The Kansas City Times recently came into possession of these verses through Mr. Smith. The Times says: "Dunbar was on his deathbed in Chicago when he received the music for the song, whereupon he wrote a third stanza, which he forwarded to the composer, written on a postal card with these words: "Your music, my dear sir, is very pretty. I add another stanza, which I think is not so good as the others." The poem complete follows: GOOD NIGHT. The lark is silent in his nest; the breeze is sighing in its flight. Sleep, love, and peaceful be thy rest. Good night, my love, good night, good night. Sweet dreams attend thee in thy sleep. To soothe the rest till morning's light. And angela round thee vigil keep. Good night, my love, good night, good night. Sleep well, my love, on night's dark breast.

COLONEL MIDNIGHT STILL ON THE GO "Today we launch" are the words that will ring in thousands of cars for the next few weeks. Young men and women everywhere are getting ready to almost make a new world. But they will soon make the real world and will make that the time spent in preparing that oration was simply castles. building them. Some of them will make good, while doubtless, others will be complete failures. Whether success or failure will depend on how well they have used their time, and just how well their minds are charged with the good things of life. It is the man who thinks today and thinks well that will make the world know him and he will know the world. It is not enough to get a diploma from this or that college, from this or that university, high school. All the diplomas in the world will never amount to anything unless the man holding them is a thinker. a thinker. Graduates upon graduates have all gone out in the world, and have found their way to the bottom, because they did not think, and allowed to creep into their lives the little no harm sins. They are worse off than when they started. It is to be hoped that this will not apply to any of the graduates this year. this year. You will find me right here in Baltimore today, and I am writing this letter in, town, but if you want to reach me with a letter, you will have to send it to Jacksonville Fla., to the Florida Baptist College, for I will be when you are reading this letter. Many are the things that have called my attention this week. It is wonderful how a man can change his looks. There is Thomas P. Kelson, who has been around the office for years, and has an important connection with it. He tomed me around in his horse automobile, and now he has one that can go without a horse. I met him at the office but did not know him. He has the latest style vandyke, and mouton chops on the shoes. You would take him to be an English loud or something like that. He is a good, faithful man and clicks. Almost man. to the arrest in the office. Miss Mabel Lourne will soon be among the class of young people who will graduate. She is now a candidate for a diploma, and I am interested that she will get it at the commencement of the training school. I hopes she is going to remain with the office. Mrs. L. S. Henry has been right on hand for a number of years, and she is not tired yet. She has gone right along up with the paper. She has seen it grow. She can say I have lived in two dispensations. Now there is Daniel Murphy. He knows printing just like he knows his prayers—in fact he is an expert in any part of a printing office. He was educated for a professor or something else, but God wanted him right here and he is being used. He has never for one moment sat down and complained about opportunities, but he has made good use of those around him. John H. Murphy Jr., is good in the school room, also in the office. Arnett is yet young, but has been plucked because in business he is ripe and not plucked too early. He knows his business. There are some others connected with the office but I will not be able to talk about them this week. I cannot tell all the getting around I have been doing. I have touched Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, and he had me to come up to Mrs. Wm. B. Hammers, where he is stopping and have a meal with him. Now that is one of the most cookiest women in this country, and when you sit down at her table you are getting some good eatings. I don't wonder that so many of the teachers and doctors seek that place for a meal. She makes rolls that will just melt in your mouth. I got just about 11 of them in me at one meal, and I fear she will not want Dr. Brooks to invite me back again. Believe me when I tell you Dr. Brooks is going to make good. He has started off well and is now planning for a great big rally. If the people will follow his lead something will be accomplished. The Lord knows what is best, and I am not going to get in the game. If you will recall I have been to several other places. I was in Chester when I wrote to you last week and now I am here. I went from Chester over to Dordentown to visit that college there with Prof. Valentine as president. Then next to there I came into reception given Dr. L. G. Jordon on his return from Africa where he has been looking after the foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention of which he is secretary. venture I tell you them men were loud in their praises of this one secretary and called him the modern Paul of his age. It took a brave man to cross the ocean at this time, but Dr. Jordan says that he was going on business for the Lord and was sure that shoe that was his mission, he would cared for. I think he was about right, and I am not going to question his statement. He brought back with him three girls who are here to study and take back home with them education. They will get it here. The reception was a grand affair. I remained through and got on the outside of all the good things to eat and then made it to Washington where I had the pleasure of shaking hands with Col. R. W. Thompson, that versatile writer. Just as I thought he was full of grips, and I tell you he had more little crooks in my hand, giving me the grip, the token, the sign, but did not give me the password. When a fellow rides the goat he is reconstructed. He is like another man, and only those who have been along the same line can understand him. I tested him with the word for I said to him "Liver and Onions," thinking it was the word, and that did not cause him to change the expression on his face. But when I said to him and dumplings" I said from him a smile, so I have decided that it is the password to the door of Odd Fellows. Editor John Murphy is down home as you can see from the paper last week. He is surprised at the number of people who are making it to the North, and they decry they are going to make it if it costs them their lives. I was surprised the other day when a white man told me that the reason so many of my people were coming North was that they were following booze. I don't believe it, and will not subscribe to this quoting. seen that book of Dr. John W. Norris, "The Ethiopian's Place in History." It is indeed a wonderful little book, and I want to now and here congratulate him on giving us such wonderful thoughts. He is one of the leading ministers in the Baltimore A. M. E. conference and now one of the presiding elders. I shall have to stop here. Will tell you more about the book when I finish reading it. DENTON HAPPENINGS Denton, Md.

Woman's Department Edited By Margaret Black In transplanting all kinds of plants be sure to remove some soil with the roots. This gives the plants a good start. Buy your tomato and cauliflower, cabbage and pepper plants from a reliable firm. Get a dozen early tomato plants and one dozen ponderosa tomato plants and keep them trimmed and well hoed. Stake the plants as soon as they are a foot high. If you get the earlina plants, they are bushy and need no stakes. All ponderosa's need stakes. Keep your plants to three good stalks and trim off all suckers. Suckers are young plants that grow out from the roots and should be cut off. Three stalks to each plant will give an abundance of tomatoes as they grow and send out many shoots from the joints. If you are an amateur and do not know much about young plants, be sure to buy from a reliable dealer as you will not be able to tell cabbage from cauliflower plants. Also be careful in buying sweet potato and sweet pepper plants. A neighbor of nine bought three dozen lovely sweet potato plants and succeeded in getting a fine crop of sweet peppers. So be sure your dealer is reliable. Cabbage worms will have to be watched as they are very fond of cauliflower. As soon as the "flowers" begin to form, draw up the outer leaves and tie them together at the tips, to shield the head from light and heat. This blanches it and keeps it tender. Do not these outer leaves too close or too low down for it needs air space to keep it from rotting. Watch the heads, because they develop fast and should be cut before they show signs of breaking. If left too long they sprout and go to seed and some does get dry and hard and are not for use. Extra Early Dwarf Erfurt or Henderson's Snowball can be stored for late crops. pinterest I never bother to prant head lettuce for early use. I find the curled or cutting varieties give equally as good results and require little care and it is practically ever bearing as they keep growing after picking. The Black Seeded Simpson, Early Curled Simpson and Grand Rapids are excellent sorts. The Black Seeded Simpson stands the summer heat beautifully. The Early Curled Simpson have a mass of yellowish green leaves and are very tender. The Grand Rapids is my favorite. It is curled and crumpled and stays tender for weeks. The leaves are a light green shading white to the centre and is slow to go to seed. It can be cut-off and sprouts quickly, from one sowing, by thinning and cutting off you can have lettuce for fully six weeks. Sow either of the above mentioned varieties thickly. It needs no hoeing, but keep the weeds pulled out from among it. Plant your beet seed generously so as to have an ample supply of beet greens. Beet greens are preferred by many to spinach. Peppers can be set out by May 21. Plants can be purchased from a seed store or in the market. Plant among your lettuce one to two feet apart. When the lettuce is used the peppers have the space to themselves. They can also be planted among other early maturing vegetables. It is almost impossible to sow small seeds the proper distance apart in rows. We sow them thick and then thin them out the proper distance apart. A day after a good rain is a good time to do this as so not to disturb the remaining plants; and before sun-up or after sun-down—prefectly after the sun has left the spot. After a rain is also the best time to transplant or to set out your plants of any kind. If you are sure of a good rain, water the plants you wish to transplant as so not to disturb those not to be transplanted, dig a trench or hole, pour the water into the hole, set your plants in and cover the roots well, and the rain will help to start them and often keeps them from wilting. If you have the space plant some tiny beans this month and you can have a bean shelling party in the fall, if you grow a crop. WORTH TRYING Sometimes you cut or prick your finger so badly that you have difficulty in checking the flow of blood and perhaps no medical appliances are at hand. Pick up the nearest newspaper, and tear off a strip of the clear margin on which there is no printing. Wash the cut with clear running water, if possible, and bind it closely around with this strip of paper. Fasten it or hold it on until you know that the flow is stopped and the wound beginning to dry. It almost never fails to check bleeding in an ordinary cut. Who said embroidery was -going out of style? Just because everyone is knitting sweaters and crocheting tisel towels end and yokes, does not say they do not have time for a bit of embroidery now, and then and some very wonderful embroidery at that. The real thing to remember about embroidery now-a-days is that it is very quickly worked and that affects are very bold, loud and often irregual, if not in design, at least in treatment. For your living room you can have a round cushion, table runner and work-bag all to match. A pretty work-bag .tas a decorative value all its own, when hung over the back of one of the porch or living room chairs and many library and living room sets are made up with work backs to match. A black or a dark blue sateen makes a good background for oriental designs or birds worked up in the brightest of silks. Outlining, lazy daisy-seed, and French motifs, chain stitch and couch-designs. The motifs are usually applied upon a heavy unbleached crush which several strands of black or blue embroidery cotton are run to carry out the black of the motif. A made of fine black or blue popping in the shape of a cuff bag the ends oblong and cuffed up and caught way permanently by the seams, embroidered in fine crewels—with and of paradise design and runner cushion to match would make an insite living room or library set. black or blue silk cords can be used to draw up the bag, and if it is intended to fill out the set, tassels and bow beads can finish the cords. minutes.

BAUM'S HAIR EMPORIUM 486 8th Ave., New York City LONG HAIR THAT IS SOFT SMOOTH AND GLOSSY Quinade, Invented by a New York Chemist Stimulates And Nourishes The Roots Of The Hair. Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care, and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QUINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seeby. Ce., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUINADE, mentioning the name of this paper. Take STRENGTH & LIFE and give it to the children before becoming sick and it will PREVENT Tuberculosis, Infant tile Paralysis, Bronchitis, and fortify the Body against all diseases. $1.50 for large bottle; smaller size, $1.00. Longevity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. IS THIS TRUE? For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from itching. Daring those years. I went to hospitals and tried about 80 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1869 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md. He treated me seven months and I am now completely cured. If anyone happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr Campbell, who, I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with; and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world. MRS.
