XXVI, No. 3 MAYOR OF E. S INDICTED City's Chief Executive, H Held For Comp E. St. I. DEMAND HIS REMO Report Declares He Faile Militia. Specific feasance Belleville, Ill., Sept. 8.—Mayor Fred Mollman of East St. Louis and his private secretary, Maurice Ahearn, were indicted today in connection with the Grand Jury inquiry into the resent race riots in East St. Louis. Indictments were returned against thirty-seven other persons in connection with the riots, but their names were not available, as the capiases for their arrest had not been issued. The Grand Jury submitted a report criticizing the Mayor for his alleged dilatoriness in taking means to curb the rolters, who took part in the slaying of Negroes on July 2 and recommended that he be removed from office. "Mayor Rollman," says the report, "must be judged by his actions as provided by the evidence. If his failure to give directions to the militia and if his failure to call upon the Sheric and to deputize citizens who ocered their services were the result of a lack of ability or of fright, the office should be taken from him and given to an efficient person. "If his failure to act was because his sympathies were with those who sought to drive the citizens out of East St. Louis, he should make room for a responsible executive who is in favor of enforcing 100 per cent of the laws. The law-abiding citizens and industries, and the respectable laboring men should unite and demand the resignation of the Mayor as the greatest good he can do his city." MEN AND WOMEN IN ALL AT BIER Rev. L. Z. Johnson Delive His Life City Co Attend I With prominent city officials in attendance and thousands of his friends either packed within or massed outside of the edifice, the funeral of City Councilman Harry S. Cummings was held at Metropolitan M. E. Church, Orchard street, near Drudg Hill avenue, last Monday afternoon. The remains lay in state at the church from noon until 2 p. m. and thousands of people, white and colored, fled past the flower-laden bier to take a last look at the best known colored man in Baltimore. Hundreds visited his home. The funeral procession reached The Church, the chard street line with humanity and Hill avenue nearly down to Tessier street. The funeral party contained the family, close friends of the dead councilman and members of the City Council. Mayor Preston was unable to be present. Hon.

LOUIS LED BY GRAND JURY ve, His Secretary and 37 Others Complicity In Recent St. Louis Riots. EMOVAL FROM OFFICE Failed To Give Direetions To Specific Charge of Mal- easance In Office The specific charge against the Mayor is malenance in office, based on his alleged negligence at the time of the riots. The charge against the Mayor's secretary is that he ordered the police and militia to destroy cameras, "thus preventing moving picture men from photographing the mobs." "No man," says the report, "gave greater assistance to the rioters and assured them more safety from prosecution than did the police that photographers be denied their free rights to take pictures." "About a month and a half after the rio to July 2," says the report in conclusion, "a new police and fire commission took charge of the police, composed of three of the strongest and most reputable men in East St. Louis. They have courage and ability. Our evidence shows that the evidence has been the undoing of the mayor will be able to hamper the fire and police commission as long as Mr. Mollman retains the office of Mayor. "We have not been able, because of lack of time, to apprehend and indict all who committed crimes in the recent riots in East St. Louis. One hundred and one were murdered and four were arrested a few weeks ago as connected with the race riots. If all the thirty-nine indicted today are men not previously named, the number now under indictment as a result of the riots is 144. MESSAGE OF HIS LIFE "He stands a revealing type of what the race can do as a citizen element intelligence and force in the nation's life. The race can take its place and fulfill its part side by side with all elements with such efficiency and such forceful effect as to make indubitably manifest its rights and fitness to be there, winning the respect and inducing the fellowship of all, as man to man, citizen to citizen. This is the meaning and message of his life to which we point and size of our lives, pain and message of every enlightened and achieving Negro life in the life of the nation." Monumental Lodge of Elks held their last services, and Mr. Samuel T. Hemsley, who had charge of the funeral arrangements, sang a solo.

Cole Asks The Public To Suspend Judgement On Rioting Troops Charlottesville, Va., Sept. 13—Lieutenant Colonel J. A. Cole, U. S. A. retired, has contributed an article to the Daily Progress commending colored soldiers and advising the withholding of judgment on the recent outbreak of the 24th Infantry at Houston, Texas, until the official report of Colonel Cress is published. Colonel Cole is now an instructor in the University of Virginia. "Until we read the report," he writes, "let us in charity withhold condemnation. Meanwhile let us keep several, very vital facts in mind: "(1) Negro civilization in this country is at the most, 250 years old and there is many a Negro in this country whose ancestors were naked African Americans." $1800. "(2) Military training has a wonderful, regenerating effect upon the Negro. He loves it, becomes clean in personal habits, splendidly neat in his dress and equipment, performs his duties with scrupulous fidelity at no matter what cost of wounds or of to himself, is subordinate an officer to his officers, and, in show, makes a fine soldier. The Negro soldier has his faults. He has learned self-respect, because the rigid discipline which brings him daily under the command and instruction of his white officers does not hold from him the respect and admiration of those officers; and self-respect not sufficiently tempered by civilization, or its military equivalent, discipline, is a dangerous possession. "(3). White officers who serve with the colored soldiers, like, admire and trust them. They are an instance: Five great officers, graduating in successive classes, three in one and two in the next, by choice selected the Tenth Cavalry. All were promoted in the spring of 1891. All of these men, sons of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, men of fairly heroic mould, asked to a man to be retained in the regiment they had learned to love. "(4). While graduates of the University of Virginia and the people of our neighborhoods recognize, respect and pay tribute to honesty, self-respect, and hate dignity of a enemy to know that the four colored regiments have turned out in the last fifty years hundreds and thousands of soldiers who possess in varying degree and many in equal degree, the qualities that make the name of Henry Martin an honored one here. FROM PERSONAL OBSERVATION "An our tendency, too often, when we look at a colored soldier, is to think of him, not as a soldier, but as a colored man, and the latter, is apt to stand in the mind of the observer for habits and tendencies that military training has eliminated in the black, more thoroughly than the same training has eliminated these same tendencies in men of our own race. For the colored man is impressionable, the white man knows his peculiar shant is all that it should be. I saw the Twenty-third Kansas Infantry mustered at Fort Leavenworth 1854. This regiment, black from commanding officer down, in service much less than it year, surrounded by white soldiers in the whirl of war preparation, went out of service in perfect order. I commanded Troop E, Ninth Cavalry, for over a year. I never commanded better, more devoted soldiers. I served for over a year in the Philippines with the battalion of the Twenty fifth Infantry that participated, earlier, in the outbreak at Brownsville. A steadier, more soldierly body of men I never saw. We had no necessity, an ordered ward, and he the colored sergeants frequently commanded the guard. Their tact was so perfect that the most petulant white recruit never thought of insubordination. "One soldier of this command, crazed by jealousy, stole a rifle, shot up his rival, took to the woods and finally drowned himself to avoid capture, but he managed to send word to his captain where he had hidden his rifle. He did not want it to fall into the hands of nearby hostile Moros." "The colored soldier is not a menace." Colonel Colel concludes. "He is an asset. He has won golden opinions in many communities." NOTE—The Henry Martin mentioned in the above article was for years a janitor at the University of Virginia and in his old age received a pension. He marched in the academic procession when Dr. Edward A. Alderman, the present head of the University, was inaugurated.—Ed. man J. Albert Adams, of Annapolis. COUNCIL PAYS HOMAGE The City Council held its first meeting Monday afternoon, following the summer recess. Following the adoption of a motion offered by Councilman Daniel C. Joseph to have the seat and desk of Mr. Cummings draped for the next fifteen days, the City Council adjourned until next Tuesday out of respect to the man who held the record among its members for length of service. During the meeting and Orphans' Courts adjourned out of respect to the memory of Mr. Cummings Monday. State's Attorney William F. Eroening offered the motion in the Criminal Court.

TO TRAIN COLORED TROOPS SEPARATE FROM WHITES War Department Finally Decides To Have Jim-Crow Camps For "Our Boys" Washington, September 13—For the second time within the past two weeks the War Department has reversed itself as to what to do about the training of colored troops, Secretary Baker having issued an order Tuesday that the rule of the regular army would be followed and colored men for the national army be trained separate from the whites. They will not be carried with the first increment, but will be summoned later, though not last, Secretary Baker states. The disposition of the colored recruits and selected men has been one of the problems with which the War Department has had to deal. Southern whites have protested against the training of colored troops at any of the cantonments in the South. Following a visit, however, from the colored and white educators, two weeks ago, encouragement was made that the colored soldiers would be trained at each of the sixteen cantonments to be established, but in separate battalions. There will be seventy thousand men in the new national army, it is said and a large quote of the officers will be from the me ntrained in Fort Des Moines. The official statement of Secretary Boehner is as follows: "The rule of the regular Army in the matter of training of colored troops, which is that they be trained in separate organizations, will be adhered to. The call for colored men will be postponed until one of the later calls, so they will be called at a separate time, giving an opportunity to the officers at the camps to assemble the organizations of colored men are a part at once. They will not be called, but they will be called so naturally. "All colored men carried in a state which has a cantonment in it will be organized and trained there. Provision will be made for the assembling of colored troops for training in states that have no cantonments at a later date. An opportunity will be given both the white and colored men among the selected force to volunteer for training in certain lines of communication, organizations of which is of a non-combatant nature. Opportunity will also be given to colored men to volunteer for combatant service. REV. GAINES RECOVERING Rev. W. H. Gaines, former pastor of John Wesley M. E.

ELECTION LEAVES MUCH ROOM FOR SPECULATION Republicans Are Wondering If Skids Are Being Put Under William F. Stone For His Gradual Unhorsing As City Leader McGUINN WINS EASY VICTORY Defeats Charles Williams In Race For State Central Committeeman By 2 to 1 Vote. Preston's Protege Beaten WILLIAM W. B. DAY, Inc. Anthracite—COAL—Bituminous 1206 DRUID HILL AVENUE. Mad. 5030 IERICAN ELECTION LEAVES THE ROOM FOR Republicans Are Wondering If Under William F. Stone Unhorsing As Cit McGUINN WINS EA Defeats Charles Williams In R Committeeman By Preston's Proteg The primary election last Tuesday leaves some room for speculation, both on the part of Democrats and Republicans. While the Democrats had the strongest fights within its ranks, Republicans are wondering if the skids are being put under William F. Stone for his gradual unhorsing as city leader. Stone, like the late Harry S. Cummings, has managed to hold sway for nearly 20 years. Like Cummings also, he has been regarded as a big figure outside of Maryland his position as sergeant of the Republican National Convention urging him in close touch with prominent Republicans from all over the country. The complexion of the incoming Republican City Committee looks as if Mr. Stone will not have the practically undisputed sway that he has therein for nearly 20 years, a number of the men chosen having never been closely allied with the Stone element. One of the strongest men chosen on the anti-Stone ticket is Warner T. McGuinn, the new Republican committeeman from the Fourteenth ward. Mr. McGuinn ran away with his leading opponent, Charles E. Williams, having in turn a plurality of nearly 300, Benjamin Cox, the third man, ran a bad third. This is the first time that the ward has had a colored committeeman. The poor showing made by Williams was a distinct disappointment to the Stone organization forces in the city. With the support of Julius Diehl white, and William C. McCard, the Stone leaders in the ward, Williams was thought to be a sire winner and his election would have probably secured for Stone the continued control of the city organization. As it is, the election of Mr. McGuinn will mean added strength for the Weller-Prance-Jackson forces as well as a strong advocate for the race in councils of the party. Mr. McGuinn had the backing of the strong forces in the ward headed by such men as Dr. W. M. Alexander, Walter S. Emerson, John W. Rich, George W. Pendleton, Dr Hurry S. McCard, George Dent, John W. Briscoe, Arthur Briscoe, Richard Newton and others who have become tired of the present conduct of affairs and in favor of placing the Republican party in the city under control of a class of leaders who will have the best interests of the party at heart. A circular issued during the latter part of the campaign for Williams, had among his endorsers, the name of George W. P. McMechen. Expressions of surprise were heard from a number of men in the ward. Mr. RichMechen had joined the very forces showed such luke-warm his candidacy in the councilmanic fight. It is certain that his advocacy of the continuance of Diehl control will not add to his popularity among the 14th ward politicians. In a short address following the receiving of the complete returns at his headquarters, Bloom and Division streets, Mr. McGuinn thanked those who had so faithfully worked for him and declared that he would immediately proceed to reorganize the ward in such a way that the best results could be obtained. Mr. Josiah Diggs, the successful candidate for delegate DR. WARING HERE. Dr. James H. N. Waring, former principal of the Colored High School was here this week visiting his daughter, Mrs. S. S. Booker, and his grandson, S. S. Booker, Jr., a lusty youngster. Mrs. Waring has been here for several weeks and Dr. Waring will accompany her back to King's Park, L.

ES MUCH FOR SPECULATION ing If Skids Are Being Put one For His'Gradual in City Leader EASY VICTORY In Race For State Central By 2 to 1 Vote. otege Beaten to State Republican convention, made a short address along similar lines. JAMES N. Young, the genial committeeman from the Seventeenth ward triumphed over Daniel W. Richardson, winning an easy victory. I. P. Brown, who was regarded as having the backing of Louis H. Davenport, came in with about 60 votes. Some of Richardson's chair that many of those who were愿意 for Brown, voted for Mr. Young. Early Tuesday night Richardson's friend conceded the re-election of Mr. Young. They were disappointed, but declared that they were going to get solidly behind the "Republican ticket this fall. Some of them said they expected to take a most active part in the municipal election in 1919, and a candidate who was hosted by Democratic saloonkeepers or the gambling element need expect their support. The friends of Mr. Young, who has long been a cog in the machine of the late Harry S. Cummings, were jubilant over his triumph. He received many congratulations, about the time he felt any doubt about his re-election, and on Sunday night told a group of friends that "Harry Cummings is dead, but his friends still live." SCHIRM WINS EASILY Charles R. Schirm won easily the Republican nomination for Clerk of the City Court, defeating Louis Weis and John R. M. Staum. One of the surprises was the comparatively small vote that Mr. Staum received. Judge Stanton and William O. Atwood, candidate for State controller, had no opposition. Judge Stanton will be opposed on the Democratic side by former State's Attorney Albert S. J. Owens, white, Controllor Hugh McMullen will be Atwood's opponent. M. J. Serbe, who was defeated for nomination for the Legislature, is being urged by his friends to run for the Republican nomination to the City-Coucil from the 21st ward in 1919. There will be three colored delegates from the city to the Republican State Convention—Josiah L. Diggs, of the Fourteenth ward; Charles E. Hall, of the Seventeenth, and John H. Toadvin, of the Twenty-second. There will be a few colored delegates also from the counties. DEMOCRAT FOR CUMMINGS' PLACE As the City Council is overwhelmingly Democratic, a Democrat will be chosen to succeed Harry S. Cummings from the Seventeenth ward. The new man will be a supporter of Mayor Preston, it may rest assured. William A. Mentzell, paymaster of the Electrical Commission, and other Preston-Mahon leaders in the ward will determine who the man will be. The friends of John S. Kelly are in control of the ward, but they will not have a "look in." THE 1919 FIGHT Already the Republicans of the ward are looking toward the council-municle election in 1919, and a free-for-all fight is expected for the nominees. Among those mentioned are: Dr. Howard E. Young, George A. Watty, William L. Fitzgerald, John W. Martin, Louis H. Davenport, who has been a candidate several times; Robert J. Young and Alexander Williams. DR. HALL LEAVES $100,000 The will of Dr. Reverdy M. Hall, filed for probate in the Orphans Court Thursday, leaves practically all of his $100,000 estate to his family. His widow, Mrs. F. Jeannette Hall, is left an annuity of $1,200, to be paid in quarterly installments of $300. If she marries again she is to get one-third of the estate. The M. E. Home for the Aged, on Drudl Hall avenue, is bequeathed $100. A gold watch and chain and diamond stickpin is given the son of a brother of the deceased and Edna Hall Brown his little grand-daughter is left $200. His children, Mrs. Daniel C. Brown and Dr. Reverdy M. Hall, Jr., of Milwaukee, Wis., are named executors without bond. They are to hold in part the revenue and at the death of their estate will be divided between them. Dr. Hall is the second colored man to leave a $100,000 estate within the past fourteen months, James L. Hitchens, who died in July, 1916, leaving that amount. B. B. DAY, Inc.

A Few Useful Hints A stamp without nucellule may be quickly attached to an envelope by rubbing it on the nucellule of the envelope when it is moistened and you are sealing it. Rub the back of the stamp on the ends farthest from the point of the envelope flap and you'll find both envelope and stamp will stick when the nucellule bottle is not handy. Bird gravel is excellent for nutting in a bowl to hold up short stem flowers. Wipe an iron slink dail ywith a soft paper wet with kerosene to keep it free from rust and grease. Gra yshair should be shampooed with white soap as any other kind is liable to keep the hair yellow. Allite talcum powder sprinkled on playing cards that are old and stick together will make them slide almost like new. A little bleaching of soda added to the water in your both will absolutely kill the odor of precipitation. To clean a hair brush, take half a cupful of flour and salt in equal proportion rubbed through the bristles will make it clean as new. Dry all white leaves from gery over top of the brush. If your hair has stuck to the pores soak a cloth in very cool water, roll BUST DEVELOPMENT BUST DEVELOPMENT If any lady was asked the question "Would you like to be beautiful?" the answer would be "Yes." But any woman to be beautiful must possess a well developed bust. How many times has this question been asked by women and growing girls. "What could not develop the bust." There are hundreds of women who were defiant in this respect but the man in it is not up to it. They developed bust by employing certain means to assist nature in building up the bust to its proper proportion. The remedy which is usually used on the established wide plate of it purpose is B-D MASSAGE CREAM. (B-means Bust Developer.) This cream is readily absorbed by the skin and is the seed building up the part in their proper proportions. It is scientifically compounded for developing the bust. It can also be used to build up the neck, arms and shoulders. If you want to plump, full, beautiful bust of real, firm flesh why begin the use of B-D MASSAGE CREAM at once? don't wait, the sooner the better. You will be surprised at the result obtained from use of the first jar of cream. PRICE 50c and $1.00 per JAR. BEAUTY HINTS, consult our Beauty Department.

Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - -Fifty Cents One Year - - - - One Dollar HERE'S A NEW KINK It is being whispered around that when the colored troops are put in the field they will be officered by southern white officers, men who know how to keep the "nigger" in his place. That if the 24th Infantry had been officered by southern officers they would not have broken loose and shot up Houston as they did. That it was because they had officers who believed every man should be treated, not as white men nor black men, but as men. The result of this treatment was that the colored men "thought themselves as good as white men" and refused to accept the treatment the average Texan usually metes out to colored people. Southern white officers will teach the black soldiers their place and there will be no more trouble. And this from a government that is fighting for World Democracy. WILL WE HAVE A NEW DEAL? The leaders of the Republican stand pat organization are doubtless worried over the attitude taken by the colored voters in the 14th Ward at the Primary election Tuesday. And they have every right to be. For the past decade citizens of this city have been content to stay in the background and their political affairs have been in the hands of a few selfish men whose sole interest was for personal aggrandizement. They have had no voice in the shaping of Republican policies and on more than one occasion have been compelled to decide on election day between voting for a Democrat or for a Republican much worse than a Democrat. Had the Democrats of this city made even the smallest advances, a considerable number of colored voters would have been found in their ranks. As it was the "colored brother" found himself between "the devil and the deep blue sea." That the stand-patters have not yet learned to treat the colored voters with any degree of fairness, is evidenced by the placing of Dr. Harry C. Algire on the State Central Committee as a member-at-large from the Second Legislative District in spite of his repudiation by the colored voters in 1915 for his alleged attitude as coroner in the Guth case. Should the Weller-France-Jackson combination succeed in wresting control from William F. Stone, they will certainly have to assume a different attitude toward the colored voters of the city than does the present city leader. The election of Warner T. McGuinn as member of the State Central Committee in spite of the opposition of the Stone forces, means that the colored voters will have a strong advocate in the councils of the party. Mr. McGuinn has never stood in a favorable light in the eyes of the present city leader because he has steadfastly refused to recognize that brand of bossism that recognizes one element in the party and entirely disregards the other. He is eminently qualified to perform the duties of the office and it is sincerely to be hoped that his election means the dawn of a new day in the conduct of Republican affairs in this city. SOUTHERN BOURBONS WIN We have been sitting tight for some time wondering whether it would be possible for Secretary of War Baker to overcome his own South ern prejudices as well as the prejudices of the Southern Bourbons in Congress, and treat such colored soldiers as would be selected under the draft system, as soldiers of the United States and not as "colored" soldiers. We had hoped he would hold out and refrain from presenting a spectacle to all the world and especially the Teutonic government, that the United States is in the war for the high and laudable purpose of a democracy for all the world, while at home it is segregating and denying the rights and privileges to certain of its citizens to take their part in the greatest war the world has ever seen—a war presumably for the rights of all men to live under and take part in a government by the people and for the people. The southern propaganda was too much for him. He has issued an order that the colored men will not be trained in camps with white men, nor will colored men be called to the colors with the whites, but separately. He hopes, however, that the colored men will enlist as non-combatants, for the work behind the lines. Just what kind of work the Secretary does not say, but we presume it means building roads or work of that class. We believo that the colored American should help to bear whatever burdens his country may put upon him; that if this country is at war he should be among the first to enlist to take his part and do his share. But if the government he would serve is willing to bow to a hated prejudice and treat him as less than a man, then there is nothing else for him to do but stay at home and go on with his usual work. He has done "his bit" when he has freely offered his services. He need not be in a hurry when his country refuses to accept that service except under conditions which would make him less a man, much less a soldier. We can afford to wait. There is plenty of time. The war is not over, and Uncle Sam will yet be glad to call on his black citizens to go to the front and sustain the honor of the flag. But when it is done he must be called as a man and treated as a man. ELECT A COLORED COUNCILMAN The tributes paid to the late Harry S. Cummings by the daily press of this city and the many enconliums bestowed on him by the white people with whom he came in contact within the past twenty years, shows that a colored'man can be a member of the City Council of Baltimore City without arousing the feelings of the prejudiced. In view of this it would be a fine thing for the City Council when it meets next Tuesday to elect some colored man as Mr. Cummings' successor. It does not seem probable that this will be done, but it would be a fine thing to continue this official relation that the colored people have so long enjoyed with the city government. The colored people of Baltimore are just as intensely interested in its progress as are other elements of its citizenship. Annexation, an improved city, larger and more industries and general progress are things in which they are keenly interested. Chicago, Cleveland and Philadelphia are the large American cities that have a colored member in their lawmaking bodies, and the Negroes of these communities are among the most progressive North of Mason and Dixon's line. There are a number of capable, tactful and public-spirited colored men in the Seventeenth Ward, and any one of them could represent the citizens there with fidelity, while at the same time acting with an eyesingle to the welfare of the larger interests of the community. THE MUNICIPAL PARADE Wednesday was a gala day in Lord Baltimore's town. Many of the streets were thronged with jolly folks enjoying the pleasing and very instructive municipal parade. And for the first time in the history of this rather modern institution the colored brother was conspicuous by his presence, being represented in the Seventh Division, which included the Department of Education. That he had any part in the affair is a matter for rejoicing but there must have arisen in the minds of the thoughtful a tinge of sadness as they had visualized to them two "Southern pollies" with regard to the Nero's treatment. First, the very wide gap separating the white teachers from their colored co-laborers strongly emphasized the "divine" policy of segregation, while the colored educational float was cunningly devised to illustrate the Southern idea of industrial training for the colored youth, a typical young "Dinah" being selected to do the culinary demonstrating. Nevertheless, the forty odd colored pedagogues who had been previously notified that they would (of course) march behind the white teachers, made a fine showing even though there was no gaily bedecked colored band to quicken the flow of red blood by its syncopated tooting of "Ebrighten the Corner Where You Are," or that more appropriate and virile tune, "Onward Christian Soldiers." However we are rising and some day we'll be treated as men—Amen.

CHURCH WORKERS TO MEET Land Episcopalians are making big preparations for the entertainment of the 35th annual session of the Church Workers Among Colored People, which opens with religious services at St. Mary's Church, 1250 S. 10th Avenue, New York.

Each church will take turns in providing the midday lunch: James W. Hughes is chairman of the committee on arrangements. The convention was organized at a meeting held in New York city in 1883, the late Rev. Alexander Crummell, of Washington, issuing the call.

Bragg, Jr., being the entertaining pastor. EDITOR PERRY IN TOWN Chris J.

He looks as hale and hearty as ever though he admitted that on Friday, September 14th, he was 56 years of age. LYSTON TAYLOR DEAD. Lyston M. Taylor, a well-known East Baltimore, died at his home, 1410 Jefferson street Tuesday morning following an illness of several months. He was 19 years of age.

His mother Mrs. Amanda Taylor; grandmother, Mrs. Sadie Taylor, and uncle, Harry O. Taylor, of Philadelphia, are among the surviving relatives. Funeral services were held at the Waters African M. E. Church, Rev Dr. A. L. Gaines officiating. Interment was in Laurel Cemetery. GRAND MASTER MORRIS HERE Edward H.

Bethel Baptist Association, met with the Little Ark Baptist Church in King George County, Va., Thursday August 30th, 1917. The meeting was the best held in the history of the organization. The routine of business was carried on with precision and dispatch. Nothing else could be expected with such a capable woman at the head as Miss Lula Richardson, who has been president since the convention was organized. The devotional period led by Miss Frances Nelson, Mrs. Lucy Broadus and Mrs. Lizzie Holto was one that will long be remembered in old Virginia. The topic discussed at the Missionary period was "Shall I put my Money Into Foreign Missions?" The discussion was opened by Miss Della E. Harris and set forth some very definite reasons for contributing to Foreign Missions. Then the president's annual report and address was a masterpiece in style, earnestness and helpfulness. Over $300 was raised at the session, and the set aside for education and pilions. D. E. Harris, recording secretary. QUIETLY MARRIED Announcement is made that Solomon Payne and Miss Mamie C. Jones were quietly married at the parsonage of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, at 10 a. m. by the pastor, Chas E. Stewart, after which they left by automobile for Washington and pleasure joints.

He admonished the officers-to-be against going through the world with a shroud about them—seeing but not observing to be loyal to themselves. in the work of character in this great work of race uplift and race reclamation. Character is founded on three elements, piety, filial love, I am an American of the type of Theodore Roosevelt' (Profound App prairie. "We do not always get what we want by overcoming," said the speaker, Napoleon Bonaparte "overcame" the Alps; today men "undergo" the Alps. The British had a navy which was the pride of the World; the Germans met success by "undergoing" it in submarines. The rookies soon got the wind of the Washingtonian's analogies and similes. "This century-five piece," said the speaker, "is significant, when compared with John D. Rockefeller's wealth; but it has a relative value. it is more valuable to me than it is to hide." "I know the Negro is oppressed and outraged in a thousand ways," continued the speaker. "His country seems to forget his loyalty and sacrifices throughout the years that have gone, and justice seems to far away, but this is his hour of supreme sacrifice. He must, indeed he will meet his test and give if need be his all and liberty and justice shall be sourced to mankind throughout the earth." "Colored people all over the land are looking to the young men of this camp for the highest exemplification of man's duty to his country. This presupposes and depends upon delicate loyalty. In order to secure these ends you must have moral integrity and rightousness. To you you must avoid thinking upon uncleen things lest you become like the imperfect model upon which you meditate. You must realize that your moral strength will be doubt whether you remain or follow the Stars or cross across the sea. To you absolutely essential to every man, would truly serve a great country and a great cause." Tuesday, evening Dean Miller again addressed the men of the camp. Tuesday night he was guest of the Howard University contingent here at a well appointed banquet. Grenade and Trench Warfare The rookies are spending a good deal of the time practicing throwing hand grenades (bombs) incident to trench warfare. They have become quite adept at throwing the several forms of grenades and enter into the squad and platoon competitions with interest and fervor. Busy Days Afraid for Drafted Men. The men who were chosen in the recent draft and who have been selected for service can look forward to busy days. They will be compelled to lay aside their white collars, roll up their shirt sleeves and harden their hardest to become hardened and trained soldiers. They will have forty of drill each week, with probably Wednesday and Saturday afternoons off, with no work on Sunday. Study at Night At night the drafted men will have to study their military lessons for the following day. The course will include lectures on the work of the day and discussion of all tactics. The work for the next day will be explained and explained of the men lag or are backward in their work, they have to do extra studying till they catch up with the rest of the men. The men will be taught the manual of arms, use of the rifle, various commands and maneuvers, hygiene, use of gas masks, trench warfare, how to throw bombs. Long hikes will be undertaken, bayonet exercises and fencing will come in as part of the instruction. Training will continue throughout the cold bleak months. The men will take hikes and drill even if the weather is at the freezing temperature. Drafted men will be given their own choice as to the branch of the army in which they desire to serve, based on their particular qualifications. Commissions Scut In. Recommendations for commissions have been in the hands of the War Department since Monday. There is a great deal of conjecture as to "who will" and "who won't" since human nature is what it is and so many things enter into what each candidate will be recommended for. Work for the candidates is scheduled until the 12th. It will take several days to make returns, etc. Mrs. Maggie Gray. 744 Saratoga street, has returned from a delightful and pleasurable trip to Buffalo, Niagra Falls and Atlantic City.

Hagerstown, Md., Sept. 19—The 32d session of the Hagerstown District Sunday School Convention of the Eastimore Conference, A. M. E. Church, came to a successful close last Sunday night before a vast throng of interested people in Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, Rev. W. A. Harris, pastor, The Baptist, Christian and M. E. Churches seemed to be at their best and vied with each other in an effort to outdo each other in the exhibition of that hospitality that has become a synonym for Hagerstown. The presiding elder, Rev. Dr. John W. Norris, after opening the convention, presented Mr. E. A. Henderson, the District Superintendent, who presided in his usual manner, with dignity. The presiding elder and district perintendent are in harmony with each other and are in harmony constrained to say "tamen." The convention was one of the greatest in its history both body and spiritually. Peace and harmony prevailed throughout the sessions. Among the many important papers discussed were: "The evil of intermperance," "How to conquer the alcohol demon," "Teen-work, a necessity in a successful Sunday," "Efficiency, the aim of every fore-front Sunday School," "The Church's duty School," "The Sunday School School: The Sunday School's Duty to the Church." An able address was delivered by Rev. C. E. Stewart, B. D., subject "How to reach the unreachable child." An address was also delivered by the writer, subject "The blackboard in the Sunday School." **CONCENT AND RECEPTION** A grand concert and reception was given in honor of the delegates on Friday evening. After an elaborate program, the delegates, led by the Presiding Elder and his wife, marched to the reception room where a toothsome collation was served. Graduating exercises of the class in normal course were held on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The following persons received certificates: Mrs. Alna Thomas, Mrs. Eloise Pinder, Miss Jennie Wesley, Mr. Clifford Brown, Miss M. Alice Johnson, Miss Certrude Johnson, and Mrs. Turner.

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.
