The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX Great excitement Prevailed in the House of Representatives of Illinois as its members recorded THEIR VOTES IN FAVOR OF FEMALE SUFFRAGE. LEB O'NEIL BROWNE DELIVERED A GREAT ORATION IN OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO STEM THE TIDE AGAINST ITS ENACTMENT. IT PASSED THE HOUSE 83 TO 58, MANY OF ITS MEMBERS BEING ABSENT AND OTHERS REFRAINING FROM VOTING. GOVERNOR EDWARD F. DUNNE WILL SIGN THE MEASURE AND THE WOMEN IN CHICAGO AND THROUGHOUT ILLINOIS WILL BE ABLE TO VOTE AT THE SPING AND FALL, ELECTION OF 1914 AND AT EVERY LOCAL AND NATIONAL ELECTION THEREAFTER. Vol. XVIII. Great excitement vailed in the Represent Illinois a member THEIR VOTES IN FAVOR OF BROWNE DELIVERED A GREAT MEASURE, BUT HE WAS UNA ITS ENACTMENT. IT PASSED THE HOUSE 83 TO 5 ABSENT AND OTHERS REFRA GOVERNOR EDWARD F. DUNNE W WOMEN IN CHICAGO AND THE TO VOTE AT THE SPRING AND EVERY LOCAL AND NATIONAL Much to the disgust of the oily or smooth politicians in this city and throughout the state of Illinois, the ladies if you please put one over on them after a long and successful fight on Wednesday, for on that date in the midst of the greatest excitement which lasted for more than four hours in the house of representatives, the majority of its members voting recorded their votes in favor of female suffrage, which finally passed by 83 to 58. Of this number voting for its passage 32 were Republicans; 24 Democrats, including the speaker of the House; 24 Progressives and 3 Socialists, making 83 votes for it. Lee O'Neil Browne ably and brilliantly led the fight against it. He delivered one of his greatest orations in opposition to it, but at last or in the final wind-up he was unable to stem the tide against its enactment. Governor Edward F. Dunne will without the least doubt sign the equal suffrage bill and it will become a law and all the fair ladies residing within the confines of Illinois who are over 21 years old will the undisputed right to vote at the spring and fall election of 1914, and at every local, state and national election thereafter. The dear ladies both White and Colored will have the manhood—we mean the womanhood—right to vote for candidates for the following offices in Cook county and in the City of Chicago which have been created by statute: Presidential electors, trustees for the University of Illinois; county offices, collector, surveyor, members of board of assessors, members board of review, sanitary district trustees; city offices, judges of the municipal court, mayor, city clerk, city treasurer, aldermen, city attorney; villages, president village board, members board of trustees, village clerk, village treasurer; townships, supervisor, town clerk, highway commissioner, assessors, collectors. Bonds and little ballot. On all propositions or questions submitted to vote to electors of municipalities or other political division. The ladies cannot vote for candidates for the following offices, until the constitution of this state is amended giving them the right to do so: United States senate, members of congress, members of legislature, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state auditor of public accounts, state treasurer, superintendent of public instruction, attorney general, judges of supreme, appellate, circuit, superior, probate and criminal courts and clerks of these courts, justices of the peace and police magistrates, constables, state's attorney, county commissioners, county judge, county clerk, sheriff, county treasurer, coroner, recorder of deeds. The bill giving the ladies limited suffrage in this state follows: "A bill for an act granting women the right to vote for presidential electors and certain other officers, and to participate and vote on certain matters and elections. "Section 1—Be it enacted by the people of the state of Illinois, represented in the general assembly—that all women, citizens of the United States, above the age of 21 years hav- HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY ing resided in the state one year, in the county ninety days, and in the election district thirty days next preceding any election therein, shall be allowed to vote at such election for presidential electors, member of the state board of equalization, clerk of the appellate court, county collector, county surveyor, members of board of assessors, members of board of review, sanitary district trustees, and for all officers of cities, villages and towns (except police magistrate), and upon all questions or propositions submitted to a vote of the electors of such municipalities or other political divisions of this state. "Section 2—All such women may also vote for the following township officers: Supervisors, town clerk, assessors, collector, and highway commissioner and may also participate and vote in all annual and special town meetings in the town in which such election districts shall be. "Section 3—Separate ballot boxes and ballots shall be provided for women, which ballots shall contain the names of the candidates for such offices which are to be voted for and the special questions submitted as aforesaid, and the ballots cast by women shall be canvassed with the other ballots cast for such officers and on such questions. At any such election where registration is required women shall register in the same manner as male voters." The ladies already have the right to equal suffrage in the following states outside of Illinois: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. They won a great victory in wheeling this state in line for them, and as the ladies are forced to pay taxes on the property they own the same as the men, they should have the right to vote and hold office the same as the men. For one, we are perfectly willing to take our chances with the ladies at every stage of the political game. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON TO ASSIST TO LAY THE CORNERSTONE OF THE SOUTH SIDE BRANCH OF THE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. This coming Sunday afternoon, June 15, the corner-stone of the South Side branch of the Y. M. C.

Judge Carpenter sentenced him to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve one year in the penitentiary. Of course, Jack means to JUDGE CARPENTER'S DECISION Judge Carpenter on Wednesday, June 4, 1913, at Chicago, Ill., saw fit to over-rule Jack Johnson's plea to set aside the verdict and proceeded to sentence the prisoner at the bar to pay a fine of one thousand dollars and to serve one year and a day in the penitentiary. Counsel for the champion of the world noted an appeal and Johnson announced that he would continue the fight. We have believed all along that Johnson's enemies had made up their minds that he should wear the stripes of a convict. Under federal law, the judge can release the prisoner under a suspended sentence. Judge Carpenter's remarks indicate that he will not do this. Jack Johnson can reduce his time of incarceration by good conduct or he can be released on parole after six months. The feeling against him is so intense that there is little hope that he can win by an appeal to a higher court. Every branch of the government is permeated with race prejudice and the latest reports from the White House show that it has found an abiding place there. There has been no Colored man in the history of the country who has done more to injure himself in particular and the Colored people in general than Mr. Jack Johnson. He agitated this debilitating race question, this inter-marriage of the races, just when the country was least prepared for it. Coming from Texas, the hot-bed of racial antipathy, he violated every rule of decency and looked with suspicion upon every rule of right. He never considered that "everything lawful is not expedient," and he proceeded to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. His associates and boon companions are largely responsible for his undoing. Still, we regret to see a man of his type and calibre enter the walls of the penitentiary. The championship belt goes with him. The keepers there, in all probability, will so arrange it, that when he comes forth at the expiration of his term, he MICHT FLEISON & PULLEY C CHICAGO will be an "easy mark" for a third rate heavy-weight.

Judge Carpenter sentenced him to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve one year in the penitentiary. Of course, Jack means to fight the sentence to the last ditch. We believe he has been given a fair trial. When one considers the evidence against him and even his own admission, he will say that the defendant was very lucky in his bout with the law. So strong were the facts against him that Negroes of the sporting fraternity in Chicago were offering bets that he would receive more time than he did. As the judge in the case said: "The circumstances in this case have been very aggravating. The life of the defendant, by his own admissions, has not been a moral one." From the championship to the penitentiary is a new precedent in pugilism. Jack has no one to blame but himself. He has done the race an incalculable amount of harm. Negroes in Chicago have been discharged from goods jobs by the score. His disgusting penchant for any woman with a White face has caused an awful infux into the various state legislatures, and even into the National Congress itself, of all kinds of revengeful antimarriage bills. He has added fuel to the general prejudice against the race. This should serve as an object lesson to all of us. No matter how far up the ladder of fame we climb, we must not get too big for the race. All of Johnson's closest friends, both male and female, are White. It was a pleasure to him to dance attendance on the Caucasian. Now that he has received his sentence let us all hope that, for the good of the race, Jack Johnson is a "closed incident." As he goes into oblivion let him go "unwept, unhoused and unsung."—The Ledger, Indianapolis, Ind., June 7, 1913. THE WEST MICHIGAN RESORT TO OPEN SUNDAY, JUNE 15. Col. William Randolph Cowan, president of the West Michigan Resort, which is located near Benton Harbor, Michigan, states that everything in connection with the resort is in first-class order and that it will be open for business and ready to receive guests Sunday, June 15th. Board and room with plenty to eat will range from nine to ten dollars per week. Drs. Edward S. Miller and W. A. Richardson have received Black Hand letters. DEMANDING $100 FROM EACH ONE OF THEM OR THEIR LIVES. THEIR OFFICE AT 3101 STATE STREET WAS BROKEN INTO LAST FRIDAY EVENING AND ALL THE CLOTHING BELONGING TO DR. RICHARDSON WERE SET ON FIRE. BOTH DOCTORS HAVE BEEN SWORN IN AS SPECIAL POLICIEMEN AND THEY ARE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE BLACKHANDERS. For the past five or six weeks, Dr. Edward S. Miller and Dr. W. A. Richardson, 3101 South State Street, have been receiving black hand letters threatening their lives, if they did not come up with $100 each by May 28. In the letters received by them, they were instructed to leave the money at a certain place on the platform of the South Side “L” at the 33rd Street Station. They paid no attention at first to the demands of the black handers, and on May 29, Dr. Miller was summoned to Danville, Ky., to be at the bedside of his sick and aged mother, and on Saturday, May 31, Dr. Richardson received another letter that unless he produced the money and deposited it where they had designated in their former letters by Sunday evening, June 1, that his life would be ended on short notice. On Tuesday morning, June 3, Dr. Richardson received another letter from the black handers informing him that they had detected him talking to the two big bulls, that he had endeavored to double cross them and that they would get and fix him and also Dr. Miller. Some time on Friday night, June 6, the front door leading into their office was jimmed and forced open, and the apartment of Dr. Richardson was turned upside down and the large closet which contained five or six fine suits of clothing, two overcoats and six hats and so on, was set on fire and every stitch of his wearing apparel was burned up except the suit that he was wearing. Even the last letter which he had received from the black handers was in the pocket of one of his coats in the closet and that was also de- On that evening, accompanied by two fly cops, Dr. Richardson wended his way to the entrance to the "L" of the 33rd Street Station, and laid the money down at the place where he had been commanded to lay it, but no one came forward to pick it up. Then he gathered up the money and returned to his office with the fly cops to talk over the situation. SENATOR OLSON WANTS CELLAR BAKERIES. For several years past Chicago has had an ordinance regulating bakeries, that means much for clean, sanitary conditions in the places where bread, pies, cakes and pastry are made. This law was not put upon the city statute books until there had been a full, free and fair discussion of the entire subject matter. Both the master and journeymen bakers joined in the construction of the ordinance and all parties were agreed as to the necessity of doing away with bakeries in basements, where, as a rule, the conditions are such as to make it next to impossible to produce clean, wholesome goods. A few bakers and landlords of buildings that had bakeries in basements fought the ordinance and took their cases into the courts, where the ordinance was upheld and finally on an appealed case, was confirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The Department of Health felt that an important victory had been won in the interests of cleanliness, better bakery goods and the safety of the public health. But it now appears that an attempt was being made to nullify this excellent law by legislation at Springfield, which will permit the establishing and maintenance of bakeries in basements and virtually putting the control of the industry in the hands of the State Food Commission instead of the Commissioner of Health of Chicago, where it properly belongs. Senator A. J. Olson is the author of the amending bill, which would take from Chicago the right to control the bakeries of this city. In the earlier stages of the fight for clean bakeries, Senator Olson was always on the side of the big fellows, who wanted to be let alone. Recently he has been interceding for a customer of his who occupies an illegal bakery. The Department of Health earnestly hopes that the amendment introduced by Senator Olson will not pass; and urges all good and right thinking citizens to let their representatives at Springfield know that the present bak- No.37 On Tuesday morning, June 3, Dr. Richardson received another letter from the black handers informing him that they had detected him talking to the two big bulls, that he had endeavored to double cross them and that they would get and fix him and also Dr. Miller.

BIG DAY AT MT. PISGAH CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Bv E. Lavigne Garnett. Rev. H. Y. Arnett blazed the way for women who feel that they are called to Christ. Ministry opened as usual the doors of his church for the FIRST WOMEN'S EVANGELISTIC CONFERENCE held in this section. Dr. Arnett is to be commended for his liberal ideas along this very aggravating, soul perplexing line. Every thoughtful man on earth who has a smattering of phophetic vision can easily discern that the sceptre is passing from the hands of the false into the hands of the true. It is a manifestation of Dr. Arnett's superiority over the average minister of today. It is a proof that he is a friend to grace, and cares not what instrument God uses for the perpetration' of the Kingdom of Peace on earth and good will to men. His only plea is openly acknowledge through his attitude that the church will march along under God and that he, for one, will not stand in the way of God's great army. God bless the man. The Conference was not all that it ought to have been, representing as they do so great an epoch in this Christian era. Bickerings and strife was evidenced. True charity was little realized. The question is "Does this Movement stand for Cooperation or Competition". It all depends upon the male members of the ministry as to whether they wage war. A glimpse at the London suffragettes will give a vague idea as to how the new woman means to be treated. The fight is on. No compromise, if you please. The keynote of this situation is grace and truth which can only be delivered by the power of the Holy Ghost. The old line is broken because of a failure to recognize the Divine Officer in whose absence spiritual death prevails, and in the Valley of Death there is not much to hope for. The one destructive plank in the platform of modern Christian civilization is immorality. Society licenses it, and the weak shepherds fall into the hands of his wily sheep. His garment is soiled and the cross of Christ is put to shame. God sent us pure, purposeful, unselfish women; not the wily sheep who, through artful measures for personal glory, works her way to the pulpits down the path of shame. That woman can and will do more harm than a thousand men. Her superior intuitive ability makes it possible. We have thousands of good women who are being prepared to fall in the ranks of these who have the stamina to blaze the way. Good women are usually modest and reticent, and requires a great deal of encouragement and must be convinced of their calling beyond a shadow of doubt, before they will launch out. Thank God for the uncompromising woman who will not sell her birthright for a mess of pottage, who understands that their robe is an emblem of honor not to be trailed in the dust. Thank God for those women. It is the hope of the writer that there will be a wide-spread organized effort among women all over the land until every woman with an iota of merit will be able to touch hands through some systematized medium when she is needed; and if we all have a common cause, no one will fail to respond when the great General sends out his recruiting officer. Speakers worthy of special mention were Miss Dora Warren of Philadelphia, a forceful inspirational speaker who spoke in the absence of Sister Lens Mason, and Mrs. Annie E. Brown, the noted evangelist of Washington, D. C. Mrs. Brown is doing a splendid work in the South, and is president of a home for the Rescue and Training of Girls, at Juniper, Fla. Mrs. Brown commences a series of revival services at St. Varick Temple, A. M. E. Zion Church. Mrs. Mary Tribbett preached Thursday afternoon a soul inspiring serenon. Mrs. Cook of Washington, D. C., mother of Dr. S. L. Cook, is spending a few days in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. Laing Williams, of Vincennes avenue. NEGRO SLAVEHOLDERS When the American of to-day speaks of slavery, he takes it for granted that all the slaves were Colored, and all the masters White. Neither conclusion is true. At the beginning of the civil war, more than 18,000 slaves were owned by Negro masters. All these slaves were Negroes. But at an earlier day, when European immigrants were sometimes sold as slaves to pay their passage money, it was found necessary to pass a law that no Negro could buy a White slave. Calvin D. Wilson has gathered a mass of facts concerning Negroes who owned slaves. Some of the incidents are pathetic; as when free Negroes struggled against odds to buy their families. Some are tales of thrift and business insight; like that of the Negro who gained his freedom at the age of 36, but owned a plantation and sixty-four slaves before he died. Some are amusing to a degree; and such is the story of Robert Gunnell. He bought his wife from her master. Thereby, he became the legal owner of his children and grandchildren. He lived in the District of Columbia, where congress paid for slaves. When emancipation came, Robert Gunnell collected $300 apiece for his wife, his children, and his grandchildren—18 in all. Robert Gunnell was qualified to write an article for the Perfect Ladies' Journal on "How to Get Rich Raising a Family." The richest Negroes of the South were the "free persons of color" of Louisiana. One of these is rated as worth more than a quarter of a million dollars, and owned more than 100 slaves. These Colored planters of Louisiana were acknowledged, though not legitimate, descendants of wealthy French settlers; and inherited a considerable share of their wealth from their White forbears. It is only natural that the free Negro should have invested in slaves. He could not be expected to take a higher moral view of the case than his White neighbors. He saw that slaves were profitable, that they gave their possessor a sense of power, and besides, they were the sort of property with which he was acquainted. Just as the agricultural tenant buys a farm when he can, so the freed slave must have looked forward to buying slaves for himself. SOME SUMMER SUGGESTIONS. Now let us keep the city clean, Let's keep the swatter nigh; Be ever alert for filth and dirt, And swat the 'nasty fly. * * * Is your vacant lot A dirty, dangerous, ugly spot, Or is it a place of beauty? If the latter, well no matter, It shows you've done your duty. * * * Give the children a chance to play In field or park or wood. It will make them stronger day by day And be of lasting good. For God's fresh air and his blue skies, And the birds and trees and flowers, Will show new visions to their eyes Through all the golden hours. Perhaps of rhyme we've had enough— Some folks don't like this sort of stuff, Although a little now and then Is relished by the most of men. But, dropping verse and speaking plain, And getting back to earth again: Now that soon will come the summer heat, We should be careful what we eat; Puddings and pies and cakes and "sich," Meats and gravies and pastries rich, Are not the best when the weather is warm, And unless used lightly may do much harm. Another good stunt; when the weather is hot Keep out of the sun; for, like as not, You'll get struck with the heat, And be taken in from off the street To a place where, though it may be nice, The doctors and nurses will pack you in ice, While they call up your home and tell your wife They're doing their best to save your life. So, during these hot summer days, Don't worry. Do nothing that will your temperature raise, Don't hurry. Keep your temper, be cheerful and kind, Don't grumble. Look not for trouble for body or mind, "Do you tumble?" William L. O'Connell, treasurer of Cook county, and the first aid or lieutenant of Governor Edward F. Dunne, is rubbing up against the big politicians in Washington, D. C., and he will have a pleasant chat with Senator James Hamilton Lewis and President Woodrow Wilson before returning home next Tuesday. BIG EVENTS AT MT. PISGAR CHURCH, 40th and LOCUST STS.

Drama, musical comedy, extravaganza, burlesque, moving pictures and picture postcards will be included in the crusade. "Hit at the box office, the pocket-book," was the slogan of the meeting. Adolf Kraus, president of B'nai B'rith, the largest Jewish organization in the world, advocated the adoption of heroic measures. He suggested that the boycott be extended to include the ostracising of Jews who patronize theaters permitting caricaturing. He said these people should be excluded from Jewish circles. Some of the speakers mentioned the villifying caricatures in Life and the Smart Set, and said that these insults should be boycotted. Suggestions for a plan of action included the proposition of appointing vigilance committees in various sections of the city for the purpose of reviewing supposedly objectionable plays and passing upon them, after which, if they were considered insulting, warning was to be sent to the manager that unless the objection was removed the boycott would be enforced. Judge Pam appointed the following members of a temporary vigilance committee: Judge Pam, Miss Molly Oscherman, Adolf Krause, Mrs. M. L. Purvin, and Jacob M. Lobe. From this committee is to be picked a subcommittee to draft a constitution and bylaws. The organization is intended to be the nucleus of a nation-wide crusade. HEALTH BOARD OF CANTON, O. PASSES WEEKLY BORDER. Commissioners Will Post Rule in Homes Where Soap and Water Are at Premium-Fine for Violations. Canton, O., June 13.—Canton folks must bathe at least once a week, and "all over," at that. The board of health has said so. In order that none can misunderstand, the board has arranged to post in every home where soap and water are believed to be at a premium a set of rules printed in five languages and specifying $25 and costs as punishment of any one who neglects the weekly cleanup. Health Officer Da Hinden says he put the words "all over" in the rules because many would wash their faces and, relying on a technicality, call it a bath.

NEW PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL Success of a Louisville Institution Under W. B. Matthews. GRADUATES LARGE NUMBER. Achievements of Former Georgia Educator Who Won Distinction as Student, Instructor and Head of the Gate City School In Atlanta—Highly Esteemed In Kentucky Metropolis. Louisville, Ky.—For years Louisville has maintained a high standard for the education of the youth of the race. Thousands of dollars have been expended every year, and the result is that one of the best high schools in the country is to be found in this city, and some of the best trained men have been at its head. For years Professor J. M. Maxwell was principal, and today are to be found in the public school system a large number of young men and women who were graduated under him. In fact, most of the teachers of the public schools are graduates from the high school of this city and are rendering excellent service. The school has also [Name] PROFESSOR W. B. MATTHEWS. had such men as Professors Delaney, Lawson and F. L. Williams, who is now at the head of the high school in St. Louis. Examinations for commencement honors show that one of the largest classes in the history of the school graduates this term. Professor W. B. Matthews, principal of the high school, is a man of wide experience and broad culture in educational work and ranks among the foremost educators in this section. His management of the work here has given full satisfaction to all concerned. Professor Matthews is a native of Georgia and received his early education in the public schools of Atlanta. He later entered Atlanta university, of which school he is a graduate. He taught for a time in the Gate City school in Atlanta and subsequently became its principal. He thus bears the unique distinction of becoming head of the school in which he studied when a boy and where he taught after graduation. During his connection with the school system of Atlanta he showed a deep interest in the development of the youth, for he not only taught in the school, but was an active worker in church, the Y. M. C. A. and everything else that had for its object the uplift of the people. For nineteen years he was superintendent of the Sunday school of the First Congregational church, through which he reached a large number of children and young people. In this position he exerted a great influence over the young people, who admired not only his ability as a teacher and educator, but for the religious influence which he exerted in the community. It was Professor Matthews' active work in behalf of the young people of the community that attracted the attention of the superintendent of the public schools of Louisville. After making himself quite thoroughly informed as to Professor Matthews' ability as an educator and manager of school work the superintendent appointed him to the principalship of the Central high school in this city. The new principal has so conducted himself as to win the confidence of both faculty and students. When Professor Matthews came to Louisville less than a year ago he was received with open arms. At the reception given in his honor the Rev. C. B. Allen acted as chairman of the committee. The public library was used for the reception. The program rendered constated of prayer by Rev. E. G. Harris; "Reminiscences of Louisville," William H. Steward, editor of the American Baptist; "The Needs of School," Professor A. E. Meyzeck; "The High School in Relation to Life," Rev. J. C. Anderson; "Our New Principal," Professor J. E. Simpson; "Our High School, Past Present and Future." Dr. W. T. Merchant; "Educational Ideals," Professor W. B. Matthews. It was this address that carried him right into the hearts of the people. SAVE DIMES od dollars may save you.

It was known as the official Sunday school congress train, and was composed of standard sleepers and day coaches with all of their conventences. ‘The cars were decorated with long streamers bearing the words, “Sunday School Congress, Muskogee, June +9.” ‘When the train pulled into the station it was met by the most magnificent reception committee in the history of the new west. ‘This committee, under the auspices of the Baptist ministers’ conference, consisting of all of the leading pastors of the city, demonstrated the genuine big heartedness of the people of the west by their cordial reception. Ar rayed in congress caps, a Chorus con- sisting of 252 voices, with superb mu- sic, sang “Hail, the Baptist Congress,” as the train pulled in.

Every delegate. visitor or Sunday school congress attendant was most cordially invited to attend these dem- onstrations and lectures, thus becom- ing more familiar with the needs, as well as use, of all of the improved Sunday school belps now being put before the Sunday school world. Muskogee Gives Official Welcome. The official welcome to the congress, delegates and visitors by the citizens of Muskogee was hospitable to a de- gree which surpassed anything of the kind on a similar occasion seen in this section of the new southwest in the memory of its oldest inhabitants. The welcoming address on behalf of the city was delivered by his honor the mayor of Muskogee. It was broad and lfb- eral and left no doubt in the minds of the great throng which heard it as to the sincerity of its author. ‘There were addresses of welcome and cordial greetings from the Baptist Ministerial union. missionary Baptist state convention. state Sunday school convention, Metoka and Galeda classes, woman's state convention, state Bap- tixt sonng people's convention, the Business league, the legal fraternity, the Industrial association. public xchools. the varlons religious bodies and the Professional Men's league of Muskogee ‘The congress was In session from Wednesday.

Prom- iment among the organizations is the Grand Benevolent association, with headquarters in this city, with subor- dinate lodges spreading through Ala- bama, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina and with 2 membership of 10,000. ‘The Grand Benevolent association comes from the fertile brain of one of ‘the most worthy men of the race, J. F. Thomas, who is a recognized leader of men. He bas made his way to the front by hard work-and has reached his present standing through industry, honesty and reliability. He was born tn Westpoint, Ga. about thirty-eight years ago and as soon as he was old enough began his education in the pub- le schools such as were found in the rural districts of Georgia. He was the son of a farmer, hence spent much of his early life on the farm. His education was turned from the public school to the mines of Alabama in 1896, where he gained much belpful knowledge. While working In the mines he made many friends. Among ‘the miners be was a recognized leader. ‘Being a Christian man, they sought his advice and placed in him much ‘confidence While in this capacity his leadership developed and his racial love asserted Itself. He was not con- tented to be a mere miner, but became a mine contractor. After spending ten years in the mines he decided that it was time to beorpesheesl-piapadlesw vies pricy pail re ; aa ; 5 | | r | | As | Hence be called around bim many friends and decided on the organiza- tion of something different from what the race had already and something that would bring respect to his people, showing that they were capable of managing great institutions for mutual Detterment. It was on Sept, 17, 1907, that he call- ed the first meeting and organized the Grand Benevolent association. There were fifteen who became the charter members, who expressed their faith and confidence in his leadership, assur ing him where be led they would fol- low and would invite their friends to join with them. Paul Hill lodge was the name given to the first number, taking its name from an oak tree on Paul's bill, one mile from Bessemer. New members were soon added, and the growth became permanent, and others were soon added until today they have 225 lodges in the states above named. ‘The Grand Benevolent association is not alone to look after the sick and bury the dead. bat it is intended to help individual members while living to show up the business ability and worth ‘of the mce in the community and the country at large. Employment is now given to over Gifty young men and ‘women by the institution. Getting to- gether the men and women of the race for mutual protection, the frst thing to claim the attention was the erection of a permanent bomé for the order. ‘Land was purchased, and a two story building, with a root garden seating 1,500, was erected. “Within six years he bas been able to ‘get together 10,000 men and womes ‘and erect a building at 2 cost of $10 000 and bas paid to the widows and orphans of members $25,000. The or- Ger now bas 2 neat bank account and money invested in real estate to the amount of $25,000. Among the grand lodge officers are James Hall, vice grand master: Allen Lang, grand warden; James Atwood. gran@ secre Sk Mere. Oot ee Forces Baer Bh evo sa ie as, grand inner guard. and Rev.
