VOL. XXVI. No. 51 MYSTIC SHRINERS HOLD CONCLAVE Adopt Resolutions Pledging Loyalty and Make Plea for Fair Treatment as Citizens. Dentrick, Mith.. August 14—After an eventful session, the admiralty annual meeting of the Imperial Council of the Ancient Egyptian Archeological Order of Nubia of the Mystic Shrine came to an and Wednesday of last week. The Daughters of Isis, the female scribners, also met. The next session will be held in Kansas City, Mo. Among the interesting features of the session was the adoption of a set of resolutions serving with the loyalty of the colored people of this country; the election of officers for the ensuing year; the creation of a fund to tighten the insurrection instigated by white Mascie Shirres of Georgia; the adoption of a plan for the position of officers, and the annual address of the retiring imperial protegee, Charlotte E. Dunlop. Lugar denials will be heard from membership in the organization in the future. The committee on pariolous address in the country presented the following resolution which was adopted unanimously amid theories: "We your committee on pariolous address to the country state pleasure in saying that we feel the importance of the subject given to the committee for consideration. We are sensitive to the fact that we occupy a peculiar and important position in the body politic of this great country nationally, the Nobles of the Mascie Shirres stand as an important will which complements the submission to the Imperial Council a few thoughts that we have already considered during the short time we have had the master over us. We believe the following paragraph from the Imperial Council addresses the subject in America sequenced with the history of his own people. We will: "Following but one flag, and one country and one God, our most which has from Bunker Hill to Criminal never been subjected to the sult of treason or cowardice, states forth to its duty in assisting the fight for Democracy of the world." "This fortable statement stands as an unregifiable survey against the unreasonable Negro by our enemies. The constitutional rights of the colored people of this country are being denied in almost every part of the United States nowwithstanding his pursuing devotion and loyalty to his country, his flag and his God. "We desire to go on record—that the Noles of the Mormon Sierra stand ready to put forth every possible effort to prevent any attempt to question our consummative work for the uphold of mankind in an American irrespective of color or creed is conclusive proof of our assertion. We meet with regret that the unlawful acts of a large number of the colored people have landed to the Northern states has convinced the prophetic and multimillion-passage of so-called American citizens in various cities and towns in which many of our people have located. The reports that have been printed in the various newspapers of this country have been so appealing as to cause the blush of shame on the part of every law-abiding citizen of the United States. "Believing that all people who claim to be American citizens should enjoy the unfavorable rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States we unhappily consent every act that would deny any citizen the enjoyment of such constitutional rights. The fact that the Negro appears to be the bone of connation is without cause in the Negro of America to so deprive himself that there will be no cause to arouse enemies of the race to take any action that would be detrimental to the interests of the race. We appeal to the representatives in Congress, the ministers of the Gospel, all law abiding citizens and members of fraternal organizations to unite in giving to the colored citizen their loyal support in the defense of his rights. "In conclusion, as Nobles of the Mystic shrine, and the great Masonic community, individual and collective we please in the maintenance of good government, square dealings and loyalty. By so doing we not our trust in God." Prominent members of the Order of St. Luke will gather in Richmond, Va. next week for the fifth annual session of the fraternity. A E. Manning editor of the Indianapolis World and prominent democracial, has been appointed an internal revenue collector in Indiana. IMMEDIATE SETTLEMENT A Story in this Issue.

Boston Mass., August 11—That the colored people should seek to get a firm hold in the industries while the white south is debating with itself whether or not to let the colored American fight for their country in France was the advice given by Archibald Grimke, speaking at a mass meeting in Cambridge, Sunday night. After the audience had sung "America," Mr. Grimke declared: "This is no land of liberty, such as you have just suggested in that hymn. It is not a fair hand to the colored race. "In spite of the East St. Louis massacre, they say that America is fair to the colored man, man harboring in Europe, how about the American harboring over here? After 180 years of suffering and expression in this country, you believe that it is free, you are not believing right. You are believing lies! The speaker vigorously attacked what he alleged was the parity of men for foreign service. He emphasized the attentions of the blacks on the field of battle. "Why, this government, in keeping the Negro troops on this side for guarding bridges and public buildings, is cutting off its best fighting stock in America? I say this without partiality." If Belgium had not cut the hands from the blocs in the Congo those hands would have saved Belgium from the Germans," continued Mr. Grimke. He continued by stating that the law of eternal justice would one day divide the black man, but he included this little detail, be coming for the day arrived. "Go into the industries," urged the speaker, "and firmly get a grip there. Then, once you have got that grip, you can reinforce it."

NAMES OF OFFICERS SOON TO BE GIVEN OUT Port Des Moines, Iowa August 18—The candidates in training for commissions are in better physical condition than in any other training camp in the United States, says captain John Cook, U. S. A., medical officer in the regular army for more than twenty-five years. According to comparative figures the camp exists any in the country for physical condition. The rookies are expecting announcement shortly of the awarding of commissions to the successful candidates. Examinations in the various companies in one phase or another are usually affirms, tests being given several different phases of the war game. The process of weeding out the least promising men from the candidates is still in progress. About one hundred and sixty have been excused from further work at the camp because of apparent inability to become good candidates allowed by the training camp law. ```markdown ``` Discharged men however, are not necessarily to be considered as having failed. Ninety-two per cent of these men were discharged not because of the failure to show military intelligence but for minor physical defects, for camp and too often for camp and too often to enable them to qualify for commissions under the strict requirements of the United States Army. A number of the men excused for other reasons were considered by the officers as valuable men, who might have become good officers after a longer period of study, but whose adaptability was not great enough for them to claim the knowledge essential in the field. The cookies remaining are expected to furnish enough men capable of holding commissions in the regiments of colored soldiers to be raised under the selective draft law. NGN-COMS PANE HIGH Some of the most valuable candidates are the well equipped non-comissioned officers of the colored regular regiments who are trying for commissions. These men have proved themselves invaluable aids to the in-service officer in the camp and will most of them, quality under examination as officers. For the medical corps, which is being established now at the fort to provide colored surgeons for the Nero troops, forty-two men have arrived and a number of doctors in civil life, who had been candidates in the officer's main camp division, been transferred to the medical department. Several medical army officers have been assigned to the camp by the war department and are expected to arrive within a few days. INTERPRETERS CORPS TO DE FORMED.

Interest is not abating in the sunrise prayer meetings being held in Washington against mob violence, a large crowd attending the one at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Washington. Wednesday morning, Miss Nancy Burroughs was the speaker. The Ecclesiastical Council to the A. M. E. Church, in semi-annual session in Chicago, on Thursday of last week, adopted resolutions clearing against mob violence and racial discriminations. The Davis section of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows met in Mason this week, the course moving upsets the order of the Sub-Committee of Management that Davis Grand Master Institute and others were to be considered members of the Order no longer. Over one hundred persons, including a prominent police official and a law enforcement officer infested with illegal compulsory in the recent race races in East St. Louis. The seventh annual report of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People not only gives a resume of its work during the year against mob violence and other forms of racial discrimination, but suggests the necessity of regulations surrounding crimes of the United States. "The real lovers of peace," the report states, "whether they are fighting or not, should join with this association to do away in America with the wilder and worse manifestations of race hatred and social caste." Following a meeting of prominent colored citizens of Norfolk, Va., a conference was held with the Committees on Public Safety there and the commissioned officers of the Norfolk Home Guard will cooperate in pre-emptive action against African soldiers and sailors with colored people police also promised their cooperation. Edward Thompson, a colored man, was acquitted of the murder of Edmund J. Murch, a retired capitalist and politician of Baton, Maine, who sold his home in Jacksonville, Fla. The unwarranted law of protecting one's home was Thompson's defense. A conference of Southerners on law and order, with special reference to mob violence was recently held at Blue Ridge, N.C. The conference depraved mob violence against New Yorkers, and violated that the problem before us is essential to the task of making Democracy safe in America. The progress that the race has made was extolled and the pledge made to the white and colored South that efforts could be made to prevent further contagion in the area. Rev. R. W. Hogue, of Baltimore, was among its attendance. PYTHLANS TO HOLD CONCLAVE Supreme Lodge to Hold Biennial Session Next Week. St. Louis Mo.

For The Benefit of Better Equipment and Larger Building for the High School Among the Baltimore City Population 1910- White 473,857 Children 6-14 years of age: White 76, 618; Colored, 32,261. Teachers salaries in Public Schools White $1,361,784; Colored $1,722,501; 2911-12 Teachers salaries per child 6-14: White $15,186; Colored $18,38. Percentage Illiteracy 350: White 28: Colored 32,26. Baltimore schools are the best in the state, is the gist of a report by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the U.S. Bureau of Education. Both attendance and teaching are ranked as good, and it is only in the provision of larger buildings and equipment that the local schools are not up to the standard. The above table shows the summary of the schools in the city. According to Dr. Jones the city is perhaps the best place in the state for the school because it is equal both races. The average length of the school year is nine months. The number of teachers is 1,504 and 254 colored. The average attendance is 48,034 pupils and 7,462 colored pupils. The attendance in the colored schools is good but some of the elementary class rooms are crowded. With some improvements the public school would be adequate to care for the needs of the city. What these improvements are, Dr. Jones states in his recommendations concerning the schools. In addition it was found that the facilities for industrial work for girls are fairly good, but the equipment for industrial work for boys is limited. The Norwegian state is to be doing all that could be achieved. SCHOOLS UNWORTHY OF AID At Morgan College the teaching force and equipment were found inadequate for the work undertaken so that Dr. Jones recommended that they move to their new site and organize their courses so as to emphasize training of teachers, sciences, and community work both for rural and urban people. The religious interest is strong in the parish schools of St Augustine, St Barnabas and St Cyprian. These institutions kept up by the Catholic Church, were together pupils and 14 teachers. William University and Lee and Hays University, because of their condition and management are recommended as unworthy of aid. 700.

Frowns lay out the road fur smilin' You'll be wrinkled soon enough, What's the use? 'What's the use o'folks a-sighin' It's an awful waste o'breath, An a body can't stand wasin' What he needs so bad in death. What's the use? 'What's the use o'even weepin' Might as well go long an' smile. Life, our longest, strongest arrow, Only lasts a little while. What's the use?" Paul Lawrence Dunbar. As I started to write this morning a little girl said to me, "why don't you smile? You look so sour and cross and you have not smiled once this morning." I smiled then and Dunbar and the lines at the head of this column occured to me, and I thought I would publish them for they might help some one else to smile. What's the use? Sure enough! It does not help us to frown and be cross, no matter what the cause, altho when we are worried we feel as the we never could smile again, and we feel as the a little rain would clear the atmosphere. Many a day has been begun wrong because it has begun with a frown. Your family came down to breakfast with a smile on their faces, your employer or your fellow-worker entered the office or the shop with a song in his heart. Your frown froze the song into anicle. The sharp retort to the cheek "Good morning" your brushes of manner over the beginning of the day "You can't smile" you say, the whole of your plans have gone wrong, and everything is out of nk. Of course it has, but have you any right to spoil some one else' day because yours is wrong. Smile and the world smiles with you. It does not cost you anything to be human, to show by your manner that you regard your fellow-worker or your employer as a fellow being. A friendly greeting, no matter how hurried, is a tonic. It may seem only a trifle, but we should remember that the joy or unhappiness of life is made up of trifles. You haven't time to answer a letter that does not benefit you, you are only thinking of self and the one thing that will help you to get to the top in a hurry. What's the use of helping some one or bothering with some little thing that will benefit some one else? It does not help me any. Are you sure you should small in a thousand fold, and brings a blessing in help in time of need in a way we least expect. There's an old saying that "You can catch a derned more sight of flies with sugar than with vinegar." If you are a fellow worker it's your duty to begin the day with a smile, if an employee, it is ten times more your duty to smile—In your own interest as well as the interest of those you employ and if you are a wife and mother then you should smile anyway as it will pay fifty times over in the happy faces you have around you. What's the use? Begin the day right. Try it. Smile. RECIPES By Mr. S. S. Clause 2 tablespoon sugar ½ cup melted lard 1 cup milk Bake all the dry ingredients.

HAMPTON'S HEAD FOR YEARS He Labored With Voice and Pen For Uplift of Institution Which Has Been Power For Good In the Land—Member of Many Philanthropical Boards and Recipient of Many Honors. By the death at his summer home, Whitefield, N. H., of the Rev. Dr. Hollis Burke Frissell on Sunday evening, Aug. 5, the colored race and the nation at large have lost one of their very best friends and valuable citizens. Dr. Frissell had been president of the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural institute for nearly a quarter of a century. He was greatly beloved by the faculty and students at Hampton and a long list of educators and business men and women throughout the nation. Dr. Frissell was born in Amenia, N. Y., on July 14, 1851, the son of A. C. and L. B. Frissell. He spent three years at Phillips academy, Andover, Mass., going from there to Yale, where he was graduated with the class of 1874. After graduation he taught for two years in a young woman's seminary at Rhiniecke, N. Y., which place he left to enter Union Theological seminary. He was graduated from the latter institution in 1873, and became assistant pastor of the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church. New York city, where he remained until 1880, at which time he became chaplain of Hampton institute, Hampton, Va. It was in 1893 that he became principal, and in this important office he devoted all of his time and energy to the upbuilding of the school and the problem of the education and betterment of the Negro race. Any account of Dr. Frissell's life is necessarily also an account of the growth and development of Hampton institute, for which he ceaselessly worked to raise funds and for the organization and welfare of which he constantly strove. Under his guidance it became not only the leader and pioneer in the industrial education of the American Negro and its center of uplift, but also a forum where southern and northern white men and Negroes meet on common ground to discuss problems of education, agriculture and sanitation in the south. It has sent out over 7,000 Negro teachers, farmers, tradesmen and home builders to southern states, and it has been instrumental in decreasing the filiteracy of the race from almost 100 per cent to the present figure of 27.5 per cent. In 1803 Dr. Frissell received the degree of D. D. from Howard university, in 1900 the degree of S. T. D. from Harvard, in 1901 the degree of LL. D. from Yale and in 1900 that of LL. D. from Richmond college. He was a member of the Century, City and Yale clubs of New York, of the Society of Scroll and Key of Yale and of the Cosmos club of Washington. He is survived by his wife and one son, Sydney Dodd Frissell, who until he recently joined the army had been connected with Hampton institute and who has done much toward the practical education of the Negro along the line of scientific farming. SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO HOLMES Evening World Praises Courage of the Murdered Police Officer. Honor to the courage and devotion to duty shown by the Negro policeman, Robert Holmes, who was shot to death early on the morning of Aug. 6 while pursuing a burglar known to be armed and desperate. This city can well afford to pay a special tribute to the bravery and faithfulness of one of its Negro guardians of public safety at a moment when in other parts of the country white men who call themselves Americans have been ready to cast aside law and justice and plunge into vicious, insensate, murderous persecution of unoffending citizens whose skins are black. New York has felt nothing but disgust for such brutal perversions of true Americanism. It has sympathized with the aroused sentiment of law abiding Negroes in this city and lately viewed with understanding and approval the orderly demonstration by which the colored people of New York silently registered their protest. Policeman Holmes was shot while faithfully performing his duty. For the rest of the country that means that the city of New York trusted a Negro with one of the most responsible functions of its public service—that of public protection—and is proud to report that he gave his life to show himself worthy of that trust.

Mencken was editor of "The Herald" a daily paper in this city. Taking exception to a view of the editor expressed in these columns, he threw open the columns of "The Herald" for a discussion of the race question. His views then were those of the Southerner, who is open to conviction, a rare thing among the tribe of them. However, an article by the former "Herald" editor in the current number of "Smart Set" magazine shows that he has arrived at some conclusions. He says there: "What, ladies and gentlemen, in hell or out of it, are we to do with the Ethiop? Who shall answer the thunderous demands of the emerging Negro? For emergering he is institutively and politically, and there will come a time, believe me or not, when those with ears to hear will feel will discover that he is to be booed and put no longer—that he has at last got the power to exert a square answer, and that the days of his coocie service as minister, torch and goat are done. When that morn dawns, I pray upon both knees, I shall be safe in the Alps, and not below. Tomac River, hurriedly disguised with burnt iron, got out on the high gear. Soon after, with William Archer (see his "Through Afro-America, 1910") it will come to rough work—and perhaps sooner than of us fancy. The Southerners, even the honest one botched the business abominably, and unless Providenciales intervenes with a miracle, I suspect that it will jolly well bolt the South." For fear someone may put him down as a Yankee or an Abolitionist, Mr. Mencken, who may be of German abstraction, hastens to add that he is of Southern birth, was raised among colored people and knows hundreds of them. He is in favor not only of slavery for blacks, but also for all "save a small and shrinking minority of whites. As first articles of his creed he mentions the fact that Stonewall Jackson was a great general, and that Ben Butler did not go to heaven. Other qualifications are that he has hookworm, reverses the memory of Robert E. Lee, hates Yankees, and formerly wrote editorials for the Baltimore Sunpaper. In spite of all these things, he sees that colored people are becoming more and more active: JUMPING AND ROCKING THE BOAT. ly is the Negro not come to equilibrium; he is the boat more and more.

For thirty or forty years after the war it was simply a question of how much should be given to him—freely or haltingly, generous or grudgingly, as you choose. But now it is fast becoming a question of how much he will demand and take—if possible, peaceably; if not, by force. And the Negro has been more faithful and secure progress, not in mere education, than in justice, self-confidence, in wealth—because he has been to find out that he can make his way. Southners—because, in all that is essential and lasting, he has shown more progress than Southern whites. A harsh fact, but still a fact. The South lites to think it has recovered from the Civil War—the whole region, in truth, swarms with wind-machined keep on trying to demonstrate it, but a gift of wisdom is enough to fill any imperial "throne." Thoise four years were more terrible than anyone knew. They wiped out the old civilization and they left the soil so sterile that a new one has never sprung up. VIRGINIA BAD AND GEORGIA WORSE. was once the premier state, says Mr. Mencken, and a host of other statesmen. Now the poor of no first-rate idea, no intellectual contribution of the state in 25 years. A Lee or Washington, the act of God would be jailed over night and even so, Virginia is the most civilized of the possibly, the worst: The liberated lower orders of whites have been special bumptiousness of the Tankee and some picture that, at bottom, is little removed from not only ignorant and vicious it is vicious. A constitution going to live, would a constitution utterly lacking; he would actually. The Lee Frank affair was no isolated fit it fitted into its frame very smug; it was Georgian ideas of the true, the good and the state with more than half the area of Italy and neither Denmark or Norway, and yet, in this introduced a single first-class book or picture, or political or philosophical idea, or to human advantage. If it had been done in 1957, the world would be exactly where of its present population were to be transplanted, the news would be of no more interest; to those that a distillery had burned down in Kentucky. page 15 of "Who's Who" and comparing it with the prominent men in North America, the 1,300,000 whites are represented, with a total population of 355,000, Jersey, perhaps the least civilized Northern, of 1,213,601, is represented by 501,433,000 total inhabitants, by 2022. We remember in citing these figures, said Mr. of the thirteen states, and that applying to by new states like Iowa and Wisconsin the Southern states in general has caused the nation. IS INCREASING IN FARMING AND BUSINESS AREA-going backward this is what the white areas are going backward this is what the doing: South during the last census decade the number increased more rapidly than the number of acres of land operated by white farmers died by Negro farmers increased 10 per cent; and buildings owned by whites increased 17 per cent; farm land and buildings owned by Negro; while the number of Negro farm owners contrasted with an increase of 12 per cent in farms." In industry, in business in general, the New Strides, and the example of Booker T. Warner develop great leaders. Once the Negro is come the business of getting back his conscience when the "band will begin to play," says himself anywhere but south of the Potomac's use of the terms "Niggero," "ooonen" orn breeding. Lest some altruistic motives, it is well to remember that readers of the starling and diseased in life and heartily care secret that the white South is more backward than has been known, too, for some time, that it is relatively more rapid than his Southern interesting is the prophecy that colored for such white folk before they can win their consummate however, a matter of opinion, which, as Mate Stanton years ago, prove nothing. Virginia was once the premier state, says Mr. Mencken, the home of Washington and a host of other statesmen. Now the poor white trash are in the saddle. No first-rate idea, no intellectual contribution to knowledge has come out of the state in 25 years. A Lee or Washington dumped in Virginia by some act of God would be jailed over night and denounced as a secondround. Even so, Virginia is the most civilized of the Southern States, and Georgia, possibly, the worst: "Here the liberated lower orders of whites have borrowed the worst commercial bumptiousness of the Yankee and superimposed it upon a culture that, at bottom, is little removed from barbarianism. Georgia is not only ignorant and stupid; it is vicious. A self-respecting and educated European going there to barbarianism would find intellectual stimulation utterly necessary, would actually feel a certain insecurities. Frank affair was no isolated phenomenon, no matter; it fitted into its frame very sanguity; it was a natural expression of Georgian ideas of the true, the good and the beautiful. There is a state with more than half the area of Italy and more population than either Denmark or Norway, and yet. In thirty years it has not produced a single first-class book or picture or poem or scientific discovery or political or philosophical idea, or other sound contribution to human advancement. It had been wormy, by no earthquake in the past, but exactly where it is today. Of its present population would be to be transplanted to Mars tomorrow, the news would be of no more interest to civilization than the news that a distillery had burned down in Kentucky." Turning to page 15 of "Who's Who" and comparing the prominent men in Georgia with the prominent men in other Northern states, the figures show that Georgia's 1,300,000 whites are represented by 243 notable Americans. Vermont, with a total population of 355,956, is represented by 383; New Jersey, perhaps the least civilized Northern state, with a total population of 1,213,601, is represented by 501 notables; and Massachusetts with 1,433,000 total inhabitants, by 2002. We need to remember in citing these figures, said Mr. Mencken, that Georgia is one of the thirteen states, and that applying this same test, it is left far behind by new states like Iowa and Wisconsin. This general sluggishness of the Southern states in general has caused them to fall behind the procession. NEGROES INCREASING IN FARMING AND BUSINESS While the whites are going backward this is what the blacks in the same states are doing: "In the South during the last census decade the number of Negro farmers increased more rapidly than the number of white farmers; the acreage of land operated by white farmers decreased while that operated by Negro farmers increased 10 per cent; the value of farm land and buildings owned by whites increased 17 per cent, but the value of buildings owned by Negro owners increased 156 per cent; while the number of Negro farm owners increased 17 per cent as contrasted with an increase of 12 per cent in the white owners of farms." In commerce, in industry, in business in general, the Negro is actually making greater strides, and the example of Booker T. Washington shows that the race can develop great leaders. Once the Negro is secure in business then will come the business of getting back his constitutional rights. That is the time when the "band will begin to play," says Mr. Menken, and he will wish himself anywhere but south of the Potomac River. Mr. Menken's use of the terms "Niggero," "coon" and "darkey" show his Southern breeding. Lost some altruistic motives be looked for behind his article, it is well to remember that readers of the "Smart Set" look for the startling and diseased in life and heartily despise the Jew and the Negro. It is secret that the white South is more backward than the North and West. It has been known, too, for some time, that the Negro has been advancing relatively more rapidly than his Southern white neighbor. What is rather interesting is the prophecy that colored folk will have to murder and lynch white folk before they can win their constitutional rights. Prophecies are, however, a matter of opinion, which, as Mr. Lincoln told Secretary of State Stanton years ago, prove nothing.

The death of Dr. Hollis Burke Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute removes from the stage of life a man who not only worked for the uplift of colored people and Indians, but one whose singular gifts were devoted to every movement destined to bring about the adjustment of relations between the races. Born and educated in the North, he brought to Hampton Institute the refining influences of New England culture, and sought to instill the students there with high-mindedness. Whether working to bring philanthropic aid to Hampton or other Negro schools, in such bodies as the Southern Sociological Conference or in the old Hampton Institute Conferences, he had ever in mind the advancement of the Negro. In his death not only Negro education, loses a strong friend, but the cause of education for the white South loses an earnest champion. He literally wore himself out in the service, and it is a tribute to him that the remarkable, possibilities that Hampton has for future usefulness were forseen by the alumni several weeks ago when they asked that the curriculum of the institution founded by the late General Armstrong and which gave to them the training. PRAISE FOR THE PYTHIAN. Through the kindness of the Afro-American, I am glad to be given the privilege to make this statement. Having the privilege to attend the rythmian convention a few weeks ago at Cambridge, Md. I feel that the following fact should be spoken of. I have never seen the rythmian gathering of people assembled anywhere. In the two excursions given from Baltimore not a drunken man to be seen on the street nor on the boat during the three days is remarkable. Why I take it upon myself to write that I feel our virtues should be lauded as well as our vices advertised. If there had been a well arced perch, the papers would have made muck out of it. But this gathering, well dressed, well behaved, with intelligent leaders, no word has been said. Be it understood, I am not a member of the order, but I cannot hold my peace after looking on this noble gathering at work. Congratulations to the teachers, chickie witch, the world feel your innuence and wherever there is a rythmian living let his influence for uplift be, bearing in mind the words of the poet. rife life that counts must toll and light autate hate the wrong and love the right Must stand for truth by day and night rins is the life that counts. Akey, W. A. JOHNS Chestertown, ad. DON'T GO TO ADMIRAL Mr. Editor Please allow me space in your indispensable paper to express my disapproval of any colored woman or women going out to work in the laundry at the soldiers' camp at Admiral Md. Let every colored woman keep away from there. That is enough said. W. H BATES, Annapolis, Md. RECEIVED FINE TRIBUTE Dear editor: I received today the finest tribute in all my life by the tremendous welcome at Fort Jesse Mones, Iowa. It seemed us if a thousand men would send me in pieces in their envoys to out me welcome. From what I saw of them I regard them as the cleanest one thousand men, the United States Army will get together in one group during this entire war. They are making good. I will try to find time to tell you and your readers more about it when I reach home. WILLIAM FINKENS.

LOCAL TENNIS CLUB HALTED Soundly Thrashed But Royally Entertained by Billy Mackenzie Frederick's victories over the tennis clubs of Wilmington and Philadelphia the Baltimore Tennis Club struck a snag when they met the Gohamites Friday and Saturday of last week. Seven of the matches were very close but the dust of battle I had clear away the score stood New York 6, Baltimore 3. In the six single sets played Friday E. K. Jones disposed of Cordozo with a good margin. The Rev. W. W. Walker, of Patterson, N.J., was pushed in the second set, but finally got away with Reckling. Cook and Braxton, the veterans, were the only players who matched on Saturday were harder fought and were in doubt until the last stroke. "Mighty good sportsmen" was the verdict of the local players on their return to the city in the middle of the week. The nine crowd of men met in Wilmington was also the subject of discussion. At a stag dinner at Colman's at Eauines, the locals admitted that they had found a Taurus in the New York Club. The score: Jones-Cardozo, 6-2, 6-1. Cardozo-McCard, Heron-Austin, 11-13, 1-6, 2-1, 6-4.

Jones --- MAGRUDER—In loving but sad remembrance of our beloved wife and mother, Rebecca Magruder, who departed this life one year ago, August 11. We will not say that she is dead. She is just away with a cheery smile. And a wave of the hand. She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair, it needs must be, since she is there. And did oh you, who the wildest yearn. For the old time step and the gid return. Thinking of her faring on as dear, In the love of there as the love of here Think of her still as the same, we say She is not lost but away. Husband and Child.

IMMEDIATE SETTLEMENT.. From the high point upon which he now stood he could see the sandy road that led out beyond Lawnville to her grandfather's home, and the clump of trees that hid the house from view. He must hurry, hurry to her now and win his happiness. Above all else under the big blue sky he needed her. A life of selfless service with her by his side would be easy, gloriously easy. He would pay his debt throut out the coming years, surrounded by all the joys of home and wife, upheld by constant love, and faith that would be felt. not tatter. He started eagerly forward over the rocky summit, his fine brown face aglow with health, his eyes flashing a strange light, entirely new to them. The breeze, fresh and cool seemed to rise up to meet him. It came from the west, from down the里 where she was. And the sound of that bell—; he listened. The sound of it rang, harsh, vibran, discordant. What did it mean, he strained his eyes out through the mist and down along the Lawnville-Cartwright road. Through the haze of the approaching tinlight he could make out a cloud of rolling dust moving swiftly toward the woods at the base of the peak. What drew this crowd of men into the doorway nightfall. would see. The sudden snapping of a twig brought Marshall back to himself with a start. Like a flash he turned. Before him stood a slender, dark brown boy, with matted hair and wild frightened eyes; his clothing torn by briers, his breath coming in short, quick gasps. In his hand he held a rifle. The harrell covered Marshall and freed him in his tracks. stopped him in Marshall was armed, and instinctively his hand moved toward the weapon in his pocket, but something in the boy's eyes stopped him and the significance of the crowd at the foot of the peak struck him for the first time. "Those men are after you," he said. "What have you done?" The slender figure straightened, the heavy eyebrows narrowing into a dark frown. "I aint done nothin'" the boy snapped. "Beto' God sir, I didn't. I didn't—I was comin' home and I come across him there in the road, covered, with blood, shot to pieces. I was kneeling there beside him, trin' to lift him up when I seen Gilchrist peering through the bushes with a gun on me. Then I ran lak the devil. He shot at me an' missed. He thought that I hada done it. But I didn't— I knew what was comin', so I ran an' got' gun an' come up here. I don't do it. Let 'em find Roy. He knows that I wouldn't shoot his father. He can— "One moment." Marshall interposed, more obediently. The boy stopped me. Then by a series of direct questions Marshall gained a more definite idea of the facts. The boy worked on a farm beyond Lawnville, owned and operated by a Mr. Robert Grantland. That evening the boy had started home across the fields and had come across the body of his employer lying in his blood near the roadside, shot in the chest and abdomen. Gilchrist, the nearest neighbor, and according to the boy's account, a noted county politician, had seen the boy bending over the body and had given the alarm. The entire country side was now out after him. The boy swore again that he was innocent, declaring that Mr. Grantland's son Roy would vouch for him. But unfortunately Roy was visiting a neighboring town. That was all the boy knew. For a moment Marshall looked at him in puzzled silence. Then— "he only thing to do is to surrender when the sheriff comes," he said. "Then by God I'll take your case and clear you. Do you understand?" The boy looked up at him in astonishment. "Trial" he repeated. "They aint gonna wait fer no trial. The sheriff a good man, but he aint here. He's over at Kent Junction with Roy. Gilchrist is leadin' 'em. Most every cracker in the county would foller him inter hell, but they ain't gonna git me alive. They ain't gonna burn me lak they did Joe Carson. I'm gonna fight—, listen they got dogs. You kin hear 'em comin' now." The boy's lips tightened and his whole frame shook not with fear now, but with the nervous excitement of the coming encounter. Philip grasped his arm. "There's an enhance yet, he hisispered hourly. 'We can yet, then down into Praynor, saw a place this morning where I sure you could hide for a time." They rushed forward over the rocks and among the sighing trees until they reached a point where they could see the open fields before Fraynor. The fields were literally dotted with waiting men. Escape was cut off. "They have telephoned around the mountain. There is no escape." Marshall said. "What are you going to do?" "Git killed sin," said the boy and cooked his gun. Marshall watched him. The entire scene seemed like some frightful dream; the rocks-stark and cold in the twilight, the scattered trees gaunt and lone, rustling animously in the breeze, and the boy, stalking out thre into the shadows away from him, looking for a place to die. At length the boy stopped. He had chosen his position. No European stratigist could have chosen a better one. In the middle of an unusually open tract stood a tall, weather scarred pine, and before it, about three feet away lay a massive rock. The boy bent, and pushed another smaller rock into place near the larger one, forming a sort of triangular shelter with its apex toward Fraynor and its base toward Lawnville. Then the boy stepped into his rude shelter and stood still. Philip was beside the enclosure in a moment, but he stood silent. He did not know what to say. It was the boy who broke the silence. "You must be gone now sir" he said. But Phill was that his voice was trembling again. "I think they will let you be alright if you tell 'em who you are. But it will be best to git 'down befo' it gits any darker. Good-bye." But Philip Marsham did not move. In his soul a terrific battle raged, that threatened to scatter the chimera of his dreams into nothingness. No, he was Philip Marshall, a man with a purpose in life, a man with a future. He was necessary to his race. His name must be cleared, his debt paid. He thought of her, the woman he loved. He could not give her up, not yet. He was starting life. He must live Eut this boy,this ignorant, desperate jnnocent fellow; what of him? No power on earth could save him now, then why should he die with him. Every moment brought the dreadful danger nearer to him. He could hear the sound of the dogs and men coarse voices nearer and every moment. They had finished scouring the woods. A few minutes more and they would be rushing over the top among the scattered trees. He turned, the boy's eyes were gazing him, haunting, pleading, dumbly, eloquent. Out of the shadows of his darkened soul the truth broke clearly now. It came over him with the cool refreshing force of a rush of mountain air. His debt was long over due. He had planned to pay on the easiest of terms, to stretch it on through years of happiness, but God willed otherwise. Voices sounded now at the very top. Through the dusk a lantern flamed. The howling of a dog on the fresh scent rent the very air about him. The hour had come. Marshall troubled in beside the boy. "Give me 'the gun,' he said and took it gently from the other's hand. "Perhaps I am the better shot. Here you take the revolver, and hand it to the whirlwind Philip raised the rifle and gazed out along the rights. rie could make out dim dark figures now, and numerous shifting lights. Then suddenly a dog broke his restraining leash and Philip saw the little black form come leaping straight toward the rock. Philip dropped him at about ten yards from their shelter. "Load," he cried to the boy. "Now, quick the pistol." Even as he spoke reports rang out, and bullets flattered themselves against the rock, tore through the bark behind, and went screaming over head. Voices now on every side cried. "Get him, kill the nigger, Kill him. Dark figures rushed into the open. Philip took the gun from the boy's hand and fired again. A yell of panic went up with the report, and the rock form pitched forward among the rocks. Then a man's voice arose urging them on the open shed a dull, hurled into the open shed a dull, hurled upon the scene. The rock was naturally raked with shot again, and then they came on in overwhelming numbers. Philip seized the pistol and emptied the four remaining cylinders with calm deliberation. Not a shot missed its mark and even in the turmoil of this terrific final he was proud of it. Beside him the boy tried to rise but he pushed him back. He was aware of burning pains in his shoulders, his neck, his sides. The warm blood trickled down his eyes with a horrible sticky warmth. He raised the gun weakly and fired his last shot. The crowd was opening. Were they running from him? He looked on amazed. A young man was breaking through them like a hurricane calling a boy's name aloud. "Jimmy! Jimmy!" he was crying and the boy at Marshall's side leaped up at the sound. "I didn't do it Roy, you know I didn't kill ver dad." "I know, boy, I know! I had to ride like hell to save you." The new comer was over the rock in a moment, while a tall, mustached individual with a star on his breast, stood talking calmly with two blue steel revolvers leveled at the threat-crowd. "Sorry ter disappoint you boys," the sheriff was saying, but this aint yer man. Old Doc. Ferguson managed to git Mister Grantland to for a little space before he died, and he named the scoundrel what shot him. Where the crowd moved forward with is Bob Gilchrist? He's the man yer want." one accord. The sheriff followed the direction of their eyes. Almost up to the rock Gilchrist lay, full upon his face. Two others lay behind him, one writhing agony, the other in death, further back lay the dog, and the first man shot. "Gawd," the sheriff cried, "Jimmy musa fought ink Hell." But now, whose this other man? Dinly Philip saw the sea of faces turned upon him, the angry counterances of the mob, the sheriff's piercing eyes, alight with admiration, the calm noble features of Roy Grant-land with eyes like those of Justice unmarked, and Jimmy's face bright with new life and hope. Then slowly the scene began to fade. A voice from out the infinite distance said, "He's wounded." From out the gathering mist the face of Grace Magliano floated before and back of law the stars, great eyes from the throne of God. "You see Grace," he heard himself saying. "It's all right now. I've paid-my-debt. God understands. He sees."—Then all grew dark. The earth reeded and the stars went out, God had seen.

Gilmor St Phone: Cilmc: 3361 J. BALTIMORE BOYS NOW IN PITTSBURGH Pittsburg, Pa., August 14—Shee the arrival of the detachment 1 Separate Company, Maryland Infantry, at Pittsburg, Pa., 11 Lieutenant Ryan and 2nd Lieutenant Harris have worked hard to establish among their men, (the majority being rockies) military discipline. Lieutenant Ryan has ordered daily service as the "non come" and the "The Soldier" and they are advancing very rapidly under Lieutenant Harris and 1st Sergeant William Creigler. The officers and cooks have been "nick-named" as follows: Lieutenant Henry Ryan as "Judge"; 2nd Lieutenant James T. Harris, as "Baby" authority on guard duty; 1st Sergeant William Creigler as "Top Pipe" all around boy William J. Coulson "typical instructor": Augustus Diggs and William C. Brown as "Kitchen Mechanics." Lieutenant Ryan gave permission for liberty to those who desired to go to church Sunday morning, and nearly every man except those on guard duty invaded the office for passes, which caused him to JERSEY. He wrote rapidly in order to make out the necessary passes for the signature of the commanding officer. Lieutenant Harris, after attending to his duties, visited Antioch Baptist Church, 40th street. Lieutenant Ryan had just wheeled an unidentified man back up the Pittsburgh Press and remarked to Clerk Credit, "Now, Bo, its rest for the weary," and as Credit answered "yes sir" a sentinel approached the door with the salutation, "Sir, a lady wishes to see Lieutenant Ryan," and then the same was repeated until Retreat. The callers represented the different newspapers of the town and nearly all walks of life, both male and female. The whole population of Pittsburgh both white and colored, have shown their appreciation of our presence in various ways. Bible literature has been distributed to every man in the company and the company's reading room is kept well stocked with magazines and books of all kinds. The daily routine ends at 6 p. m., and at this time a crowd of several hundred persons of all races usually gather in front of the reservation to witness the ceremonies at Retreat which is blown by the Company's musician, James R. Brown, who has performed this duty for many years. The flag is lowered and every one at attention is watching. The Company's mascot "Mutt" seems to know what is going-on for the always stands-without turning his head. We wish to thank the Third Regiment Fife and Drum Corps for the field music they rendered at the time of our departure. We also thank our friends of Baltimore for their hospital during our mobilization and at the time of our departure. We sincerely appreciate the interest the Afro-American has shown for the Company and thank you for all publications concerning us. GOOD CROWDS AT THE CAREX Manager Cremen's theatre on N. Carey street is playing to good crowds nightly. "The Neglected Wife," Mystery of the Double, the New Yorker and "regular serials that have a popular following. S. H. Dudley and his music, filmed by the Smart Set Film Company were shown last Tuesday night. These pictures were covered with a haze that prevented the best enjoyment of them; they indicate, however, a great future. "Civilization" called the greatest show of today is coming to the Carey in the in near future. CUSS-FUSS-FIGIT An auto driver halted his car in the middle of the car tracks on Eutaw street opposite the Afro office on Wednesday and was enjoying his chau with a friend on the sidewalk till the white driver forced to pull out to get by cussed him. When the auto overtook the wagon later, a fuss ensued after which the respective drivers invited each other down in the street to settle the whole matter. The fight did not get beyond a boor, but the bountyants drove off without the assistance or interference of the police. FINANCIAL PLAN A SUCCESS Since the inauguration of the financial plan at Asbury M. E. Church in July 1916, the church has taken on new life. The plan has brought about systematic giving and each member seems eager to do and does his share of helping. As the result of this plan the following amount was easily raised, $3,018.02. House and officials are planning a chain and ribbon rally for the building fund in October. QUARTERLY CONFERENCE MEETS An interesting session of the quarterly conference of Bethel A. M. E Church was held Monday night. Reports showed that the church had been able to meet current expenses, had raised over $5,000 in a recent rally and was about to secure $5,000 in church clinch a contingent gift of $8,000. Rev. J. G. Martin, presiding elder of the district, commended the members for their work. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks is pastor of the church. PLAYGROUND PICNIC THURSDAY All of the playgrounds come together Thursday, August 23, for a "Playground Picnic" at the park. Dances, games and other activities will occupy the little folks from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parents are being urged to come out and see what their children can do. Sunday School Convention also at Handy...Officers Elected. A discussion of the needs for making the A. M. E. Publishing House a stable institution and another on what the Negro may expect as a result of the efforts of the Baltimore District Conference, held at Handy Memorial A. M. E. Church, Wednesday and Thursday of last week. The discussion on the Publishing House needed by Rev. Robert Gross Thursday morning. He asserted that the Publishing House needed a thorough reorganization. Rev. C. H. Steptea and Charles E. Stewart took the ground that a change in the aspect of things was needed, but that no investigation should be made first. Rev. J. G. Martin made a plan for assistance in raising the $2,000 needed by Bethel Church in order to secure a gift of $8,000. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks declared that all had shown a kind spirit in alding Bethel Church. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION The Sunday School Convention opened Friday morning, Mr. G. Sumner Whyte, the district superintendent presiding. Many delegates from all over the district registered. Reports were given from the various schools, which showed great progress this year. The new department was recommended and formed by the Convention, the Department of Athletics and a department on kindergarten. On Sunday morning the convention sermon was preached by Rev. E. N. Thomas, pastor of Handy Church. The feature of the afternoon exercises was the large mass meeting on Sunday schools and teagues. Among the speakers were Wm. Worter, key both of Washington, D. C. and Mr. Wm. McAbeach and Rev. J. W. Norris. The night session was very impressive. The address to the graduates of the Teacher-Training Department was given by Mr. J. H. Murphy, first superintendent of the A. M. E. Church. The presiding elder, Rev. Dr. Martin, installed the following officers for the year: District Superintendent, C. S. Murphy, first assistant superintendent, Mrs. E. N.

It has never enjoyed the honor of entertaining the Grand Lodge, its home, the most beautiful street, is probably the best-appointed among polled. Elks in the country. 17th WARDERS TO FIGHT Cummings and Young to be Ousted The Seventeenth Ward faces a big fight over who shall represent the Ward on the Republican State Central Committee. The fight only presages the one that will take place over the councilmatic nomination in 1919. James Young, who has the backing of the City Councilman Harry S. Cummings, is in the field for re-election as a member of the State Central Committee. His opponents are Daniel W. Richardson, an active spirit in the Permanent Republican Club in the Seventeenth Ward, and Isaiah P. Brewer, well known in local fraternal circles. There is a decided hostility against the control of the ward by Harry S. Cummings, and this hostility has grown in recent years. The entrance of the man, Mr. Young, is regarded by some as weakening to those who are against his continued control. NEW ATHLETIC FIELD, MAXBE Southwest Section to Have New Field Division Street Busy. Another athletic field in Southwest Baltimore corresponding to the one on Division Street, maintained by the Public Athletic League is under advertisement.

Church, Alquitt street, near Jefferson, next Monday and Tuesday. Masons from all parts of the State will be in attendance. HOLDS SHOP MEETINGS S. S. Booker, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. is endearingly to help the working man in the shops and factories in and around Boltimore. Less than two months ago, he made a trip to Locust Point and the B. & O. shops at Fort McHenry, in company upon investigation he found that over twenty-five hundred colored men are working in these shops. The trip was made on Saturday, (pay day) and large groups of men were waiting under the trees, sitting on broken boxes and pieces of lumber, while others were in the recreation room shooting craps and playing cards. It was pardonable that the party stopped and planned a meeting. Where shall it be held? With the group sitting on the broken boxes here and there or in the recreation room where the to nor more games of craps were in progress? The question was perplexing but it was soon settled by one of the group who commenced for Jesus where the devil is—in the midst of the crap games." The room was crowded with men, young and old and everybody seemed to be talking at the same time. With a little hand organ in the corner they started the attack which seemed doomed for failure. However they did not stop and the team came to hear what was going on in the corner. Immediately Secretary Booker stepped upon the table, standing over the dice, made an appeal for the better life. He pictured the story of his own life, a motherless boy who had done all kinds of public work, north and south, but never had he seen the advantage she showed. He stressed the perilous period through which we are passing and urged the fellows to preserve their strength, save their money safeguard their homes and protect their womanhood and manhood. His appeal was touching and the truths went home, for at the conclusion of the meeting the team changed into a house of worship. Secretary Addison, of the Central Association asked the men if they wanted the meetings every week and if the yanted to hear the speaker again. In one voice they said "come again." The meetings have been conducted every week, and the place has taken on a different air. The men are becoming more thoughtful. "I regret to say that the larger number of the men are without Christ while many are fro mthe South, professed Christians, which have not wnted with churc h bane," said Secretary Booker. Our object is to get the men to realize the advantage of a personal Christ, get them to join the church and live the life. This is simply the beginning of the real work of the Young Men's Christian Association among colored men in this city." Mr. Alfred Washington, of Park avenue, is visiting relatives in Virginia.

Longevity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. 17 YEARS TORMENT For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from tetching. During those years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell, the specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md. He treated me seven months and I am now complete, cured. My one hopes to suffer from 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.
