A SCHOOL TYPICAL OF BEST SOUTHERN METHODS TWENTIETH YEAR A SCHOOL BEST INDUSTRY OF DR. SHAW. Mary Potter School at Oxford, N. C. the Result of His Efforts. During the days of slavery Granville county held more slaves than any other county in the state of North Carolina. Oxford, the county seat and the commercial center of Granville county, is known throughout the states for its institutions of learning for white people. The Afro-American population did not have the advantages of suitable schools. Their condition, however, was such that it was imperative that ample school facilities should be provided for them. Nineteen years ago Dr. George C. J. DR. G. C. SHAW. Shaw came into the community to do missionary work among our people. His preparation at Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, where he graduated with honors, made it possible for him to greatly advance their moral and intellectual condition. Dr. Shaw's ability to do material work is proved by the fine Presbyterian churches he has built since he has begun his work in this field. He has also given to the race by his untiring efforts a school that is quietly diffusing new life in the community. In a picturesque section of the town of Oxford, upon a healthy site, is the Mary Potter Memorial school, of which he is founder. Dr. Shaw's sincerity and devotion to the uplift of our people attracted the attention of --- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY AUGUST 21 1909 the late Mrs. B. F. Potter of Senenectady, N. Y., who used her influence as well as her money for the success of the school which was named in her honor. She was particularly interested in the work of the freedmen's board among Afro-Americans, and her true devotion to the uplift of the race is felt and appreciated by thousands of people. Mary Potter Memorial school is under the direct control of the freedmen's board. The students are given a practical English training which prepares them for the freshman class of the best universities. A farm of seventy acres is connected with the school, where the students are taught the art and science of agriculture. Owing to the fact that a number of students desire to learn trades, money is being raised to erect what will be known as "Auburn shops." No woman is prepared for her life's work who has not been taught sewing and do STATE HOSPITAL mestic work. Regardless of the high literary attainments of a young woman in this school, she is not allowed to graduate until she has made at least an ordinary dress. The religious training that the student body receives has an encouraging effect upon the life of the community. The women of the synod of New York donated the Helen A. Wells Building of Domestic Science as a testimonial of their ardent love of the work and for Miss Helen A. Wells. FOR SALE—16-room flat for sale at a bargain if sold at once.

Zion church, which was held in Mother Zion church, New York, week ending Aug. 21. was a great success. Much interest was manifested in the report of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. A. W. Blackwell of Philadelphia, who reviewed the work of the general and local societies and offered many suggestions. The report included letters from missionaries in Africa, in which it was stated that one of the Christianized workers on the west coast of Africa had given a daughter of fourteen years to the cause of missions. She is to be sent to America for Christian education for the purpose of working among her own people in Africa In response to an appeal by the women of the society and the corresponding secretary Miss Sarah J. Janifer, secretary of the society and one of the most enthusiastic mission workers, a teacher in the public schools of Washington, offered herself for the cause of missions. Miss Janifer, realizing the need of trained missionary workers, will willingly give up her salary of nearly $100 monthly to labor in the cause on the west coast of Africa. The report of Mrs. M. E. Harris, treasurer, showed that the receipts for the year were $1,652.99. The expenditures were $891.14, leaving a balance of $761.81. Both the corresponding secretary and the treasurer, Mrs. Blackwell and Mrs. Harris, were tendered a unanimous vote of thanks after commendatory speeches by Bishop Alexander Walters and Miss Eliz Gardiner of Boston. Mrs. C. D. McNeil of Greenville, Miss.. made a stirring address and was given a substantial sum by the society for her school of philanthropy in the south. Miss McNell made a plea for the thousands of little boys and girls of our race who are given about three months of schooling annually. The officers are Mrs. K. P. Hood, president; Mrs. M. E. Washington, vice president Mrs. T. H. Lomax, vice president; Mrs. M. E. Harris, treasurer; Miss S. J. Janifer, A. M., recording secretary; Mrs. A. W Blackwell, corresponding secretary; Mrs G. W. Clinton, general superintendent, and Miss V. Richardson secretary of the Young Women's Missionary society. FIVE CENTS A COPY Negro Soldiers For French Army European Republic Planning to Organize a Great Army of Black Troopers----Colonel Mangin Says the Negro Makes an Excellent Soldier and a Brave Fighter. The announcement that the French government is to organize an army of blacks to the number of 200,000 and that American Negroes, especially those who have had military training, will be welcomed to its ranks is significant and meaningful. Prejudice against color has never existed in Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, the Italian states, Prussia, Austria, Russia or any part of the world where Negroes have not been held as slaves. Colonel Mangin, who is an expert on military affairs, says concerning the new scheme, "My experience has convinced me that the Negro makes an excellent soldier, his staying qualities and loyalty being at least equal to those of the whites, while his courage never has been questioned." Writing in a military journal, Colonel Mangin adds that the American civil war proved this over and over again and that, if degeneracy of the black race has been shown in intellectual pursuits, certainly this has not been the case where the bugle was sounding the charge. "In France, where we make no differences, social or otherwise, because of the color of the skin," said Colonel Mangin, "the Negro always has developed rapidly. "I say, let the American Negro or his comrades anywhere else who are suffering from neglect or inhuman distinctions come to France and join our colored army. Here he will find a welcome, an adequate living, a field for his peculiar abilities and great chances for the future." In Brazil, where there were more than 2,000,000 slaves, some of the highest offices of state are filled by black men, and some of the most distinguished men in the Brazilian army are blacks and mulattoes. There are distinguished lawyers, professors, physicians-black and mulattoes-in Lisbon and other ports of Portugal, in France, England, the West Indies. In Barbados the principal colonial offices are held by blacks. Some of the very best scholars in the world are Barbadian Negroes, and the blacker they are the more intellectual they are. "Watchdog" Of the Baptists Successful Career of Rev. Dr. Granville Hunt of Mount Vernon, N. Y., Who Rose From Slavery to Positions of Honor and Trust—His Sister's Devotion. The subject of this sketch, Rev. Granville Hunt, was born in Pittsylvania county, Va., of slave parentage, Ellen and Louis Hunt, and was himself a slave. Early in childhood he was taken to Lynchburg, Va., where he was reared and partially educated. He was a pupil in the school of Robert A. Perkins, who taught the first school for the training of colored youths in that city at the close of the war. In 1870, while but a lad, he went to Richmond, where, under the tutelage of Professors Jones, Vassar and Gardner, he acquired a seminary training and became a favorite with all who knew him. In 1871 he went to Chicago, where he was a coachman for seven years, during which time he attended night schools. In 1879 he visited his sister in Elizabeth, N. J., whose love was beyond that which ordinarily exists between brother and sister. Being farsighted enough to see the disadvantages of an uneducated colored man, she not only insisted that Granville should further pursue his studies, but worked untiringly to that end, giving him throughout his course all the assistance he needed, and to her zeal and energy is due the excellent record he made as a A. H. REV. GRANVILLE HUNT. D. D. student in Lincoln university, Chester county, Pa., which institution he entered in 1881 and from which he graduated in 1886. At the expiration of this course he entered Newton Theological seminary, Newton Center, Mass., and graduated in 1889. His first call to the ministry was to supply the pulpit of St. Philip's Baptist church of Port Richmond, Staten Island. Here he was examined, ordained and remained as pastor for eighteen months. In the autumn of 1891 he was employed by the Baptist Missionary society at Berlin, Md., as an agent for its literature, which position he held about ten months. In October of that THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO year he was united in marriage to Mrs. Harriet Little of Petersburg, Va., who was an honored instructor in the Petersburg Normal and Collegiate institute of that city. Three children, two girls and one boy, have blessed their union. While on his bridal tour in New York, where he had gone to visit his mother and sister, the officers of the Antioch Baptist church interviewed him relative to a call as its pastor. Resigning from his position as missionary, he assumed the pastorate of said church, where he did good work for six years. In 1898 he was called to the pastorate of Grace Baptist church of Mount Vernon, N. Y., where he has built up an enviable record as a preacher and pastor and has endeared himself to the entire community because of his manly and courageous stand always in the interest of right. In 1905 he was sent as a delegate to the world's Baptist congress which was held in London. The Rev. Mr. Hunt is both active and aggressive in all that pertains to racial affairs generally and to the uplift of the race particularly. As a politician and public spirited man he ranks second to none. He is characterized as an exceptionally reliable, frank, fearless and truthful man and enjoys the confidence of all who know him. He was president of the New York State Baptist association, of which he was a chartered member for three years, and president of the Ministerial Baptist association of Greater New York and vicinity for four years. He is also a trustee of the Baptist seminary, which is located at Lynchburg, Va. As a Baptist he is regarded as the "watchdog" of the connection. The degree of D. D. was recently conferred upon him by the Lynchburg Baptist seminary, in recognition of which the members and friends of his church gave him a splendid testimonial at Mount Vernon, N. Y., July 15. Dr. Hunt is beautifully domiciled at 10 Cortlandt street, Mount Vernon, N. Y. Mob Violence Still Rampant. A Negro cook who went from Memphis, Tenn., to Stigler, Okla., was recently ordered to leave by a mob of white men, who threatened to lynch him or dynamite the house of his employer if he did not leave. DESERVING PROMOTIONS. Administration Gradually Recognizing Worth of Afro-American Employees. It looks as if the shaking of the political plum tree had begun at Washington and that a few of the many deserving Afro-Americans in the departments are being recognized. John T. Howe of the treasury and Ernest R. Gaither of the internal revenue office have been advanced from $600 to $720 per annum, and Shelby J. Davidson, who has had charge of the tabulating machines in the office of the auditor for the postoffice department, goes from $1,400 to $1,600 per annum. Willis B. Mitchell of the government printing office is promoted to $S40, and Mrs. Martha Trammell, from the register of the treasury's office, goes to the sixth auditor's office as a money order assorter at $660. Trouble Ahead In Maryland. The new law in Maryland which aims to disfranchise all Afro-Americans of voting age is destined to work havoc in the political balliwicks of that state. Three prominent Afro-Americans, one a practicing lawyer au Annapolis, have begun suit to test their right to vote, and there are scores of others who will do likewise. Ideal College For Negro Youth Virginia Seminary at Lynchburg Has the Most Extensive Elective Course of Any School of Its Class in the South. New Building to Be Erected For Young Women. Virginia seminary and college at Lynchburg, Va., was organized by Afro-Americans in 1887 for the education of the young men and women of the race. Among its early promoters was the Rev. P. F. Morris, who made many sacrifices for its success. The school started without either money or property, but by the thrift and economy of its directors and the hearty support which it has received from the race it now has six and one-half acres of land and buildings valued at $70,000. Gregory W. Hayes, late president of the college, was one of its greatest benefactors. The faculty J. B. is composed of well trained men and women who are doing creditable work in their sphere. There were 300 students in attendance during the past year, and a much larger number is expected the coming session. The courses of study are modern and of a very high grade. The work is so arranged that by means of systematic lectures and text book work a very thorough training is given to all students. The required work for the bachelor's degree is quite the equal of the requirement of any northern college. The faculty is very positive in its opposition to the loose and careless way in which degrees are conferred by southern and some northern colleges. The teachers have voted to do away with all honorary A. B., A. M. and Ph. D degrees, though only the A. M. degree has been conferred in the past as an honorary degree in a few rare cases. The board of trustees has voted to require a thesis even for the degrees in divinity, though it is hoped that but few of these even will be granted. Virginia seminary and college urges all Negro schools through their presidents, faculties and boards to join hands and put a stop to the shameful prostitution to which learned degrees have been subjected by PAGE.10 some of the schools. The thing puts a discount on Negro education everywhere and gives the propaganda for industrial education as the sole and only need of the race, all the power it has with some honest and conscientious people. Both kinds of education are necessary. At the commencement this year twenty-two finished the literary courses and eight theological courses. The women of the Baptist educational convention have undertaken to erect a $25,000 building for young women. This is a noble undertaking. They voted $300 as a nest egg and decided to raise by personal work, subscriptions, parlor entertainments and the like $3,000 by June, 1910. Young women of good reputation without regard to denomination are welcome. The new women's building will be named the Mrs. B. F. Fox building and will thus be a worthy tribute to one of the finest types of character in all America. Contributions for this work may be sent to Mrs. B. F. Fox, Salem, Va.; Rev. W. F. Graham, Richmond, Va., or to the president, J. R. L. Diggs, Lynchburg, Va. If the friends of education will help us the building will be ready for use by May, 1911. A. B. The ideals of the school are REV. W. F. GRAHAM. very high. It has the most extensive elective course of any Negro college south of Pennsylvania. This seems a strange statement, but if strange at all it is strange to those who have not examined the matter for themselves. This refers to the literary work alone, and it is correct. The regular session will begin Oct. 1 next and close June 1, 1910. The school is a distinct example of self help on the part of the Negro people. For twenty years they have raised from $7,000 to $12,000 annually for the support of this work. They have built up an institution whose increased usefulness and power merit a larger support. Home For Aged Clubwomen. The effort which is being made by the Nebraska State Federation of Afro-American Women's Clubs to raise means with which to establish a home for the aged members near Omaha is meeting with success. The plan which has already been outlined is to secure dollar subscriptions from 1,000 Afro-American women in Nebraska. If this is accomplished two and a half acres of ground near Benson on which an option has been secured will be purchased at $600. The home is to cost about $3,000. and the money will be raised by donations. Mrs. Elizabeth C. Carter, president of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, was recently entertained by the local club at Lincoln. What Freedom Has Wrought. Joseph Hall, an untrained elderly Afro-American of Cambridge, Mass., has perfected, so noted experts say, the only working model engine in the world guaranteed to run ninety miles an hour. The making of brick without straw by the Israelites pales in comparison against the accomplishments of Negro freedom without training.—Informer. PAGE. 12 _THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO.

PAGE & Alexander Dumas, a black man, was one of the most literary characters of the West India islands. He was a general of artillery in the French army and was one of Bonaparte’s favorite generals of division and named by him “Horatius Cocles of the Tyrols.” His son, a mulatto, is deem- ed second only in literature to Victor Hugo and received the distinguished honor of being elected a member of the French institute. Geoffrey L’Islet, another mulatto, originally an officer of the artillery in the French army, was elected a cor- responding member of the French academy. Scipio Africanus in his boyhood was a playmate of Louis Philippe, who was king of France, and was one of the family of the Duke of Orleans. He be- came an officer in the French army under Joubert and was killed with that officer at the battle of Novi in 1779. Pellett, a highly respected mulatto, was a popular officer in the national guard of France. It is a fact well known that some of the highest officers in the armies of Turkey and Persia have been blacks and mulattoes. The general and director of artillery in the army of Peter the Great, who conferred upon him as a mark of hon- or the order of St. Alexander Nevski, was an African called Annibal. His son, a mulatto, was in 1784 a lieuten- ant general of artillery in the Rus- sian service and was none other than Alexander Sergevitch Poushkin, call- ed “‘Russija’s Black Byron.” One of the most popular and able lawyers at the royal court of Mar- tinique was the celebrated M. Pay, a mulatto gentleman. The distinguished Girard, a young Negro of Guadaloupe, who received among other prizes on his graduation the prize of honor, was further hon- ored by having the minister of public instruction, Villemain, to place the crown or wreath upon his head. The minister afterward embraced him and delivered to him his prizes amid the unanimous applause of the col- legians and spectators. Girard was then invited to dine with the king and spent three days with the royal family at St. Cloud. Free Speech and Action Forbidden. The’ Rey. Frank R. English, pastor of the Finley M. B. church and presi- dent of the Cincinnati (0.) Missionary Training school, was mobbed and driy- en out of Ethel, Miss., recently because he addressed a Negro audience after being warned not to do so and for shaking hands with the Negro presid- ing elder. The mob committee told him that “Niggers didn’t need no edu- cation.” Business Men to Hear Mr. Nagel. Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor has accepted an invitation to address the National Ne- gro Business league at Louisville, Ky. on Aug. 18. The league will be in con- vention Aug. 18, 19 and 20, and Secre- tary Nagel will be the principal speak- er at the opening session. An Important Decision. By a recent decision of the civil dis- trict court of New Orleans Frank Wal- ker, 2 white man, has been dispos- sessed of an estate valued at $25,000, of which he was a legatee under the will of Mrs. Virginia R. Davis, an Afro-American woman. The will was contested by George Campbell of Nash. ville, Tenn., who was a son of Mrs. Davia GOOD CHEER FOR THE AGED. at Old Folks’ Home. The reception which was tendered the inmates of the Home For Aged Afro-Americans in Brooklyn, N. Y.. by the members and friends of the Victoria Earle Mathews club recently was a very pleasant affair. Much credit is due Mrs. M. J. Zeno, who sug- gested the idea to the club of making such a visit to cheer the old folks in the home and let them know that, although shut in by age and general debility, they were not forgotten. Mrs. Annie Johnson, the retiring president of the club, has done a creditable work and is held in high esteem by the mem- bers. Aside from singing, those who took part in the program were Mrs. M. B. J. Parker, Mr. Pierre Zeno and Mrs. Annie Johnson, A paper entitled “What Music Is to the Soul,” by Miss R, F. Martin, sparkled with bright thoughts and happy illustrations. Mrs. M. C. Lawton delivered a helpful ad- dress on ‘Silent Influences.” At the close of the exercises the guests repaired to the beautiful din- ing room, where an excellent collation was served by the ladies of the club, and all had a most pleasant social aft- ernoon.

Aided by America. Liberian newspapers which arrived in the United States a few days ago give accounts of the reception accorded to the American commission sent out by the state department. The Liberian one cent stamps affixed to the bundles containing these newspapers should make a subtle appeal to a Republican administration. The center design is an elephant swaying his way across a tropical background. The figure of the elephant stands out boldly and plainly. His ears seem a trifle large and his legs somewhat attenuated to persons accustomed to the domestic drawings of the emblem of the G. O. P. The Liberian Register in a recent issue contains what seems to be a semiofficial statement intended primarily for the eyes of the American commissioners, who were at Monrovia at the time it was printed. It sets forth in terms how the United States can help Liberia. That is what the American commissioners went to Liberia to discover. "It is remarkable what a profound impression the coming of the American commissioners has made upon the people of Liberia. There are many people in Liberia who come from America, and the vast majority of those who did not come from America are descendants of the original stock. Their hearts beat warm toward the mother country. Every day as they look out upon the formidable scouting cruisers lying at anchor in the harbor you can hear such expressions as, 'Ah, that looks like old times—the days of our fathers, when the United States government showed an interest in us. I am glad I've lived to see it.' It is evident that they mean it and are depending upon the United States to find a way to assist them in their effort to help themselves. "This does not signify that they expect anything given them—not at all. Liberia wants to make her own way, but she realizes that the United States is a republic, a strong one, an independent one, while she, though a republic also, is not only young, but sadly in need of that assistance which only a republic like America can give. The United States is responsible for her birth and very largely for her form of government, and, while we do not assert that she is obligated to come to our assistance, we do declare that it is most natural for Liberia to expect it." STRONG BAPTIST SOCIETY. Mount Bethel Association Will Soon Hold Annual Session at Washington. Great preparations are being made for the entertainment of delegates and visitors to the thirty-third annual session of the Mount Bethel Baptist association, which will be held with the Second Baptist church of Washington from Aug. 24 to 26, inclusive. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the church, is one of the ablest pulpit orators and scholars among Negro Baptists in the United States. The association is composed of churches of the denomination in Maryland. Virginia and the District of Columbia. It maintains an industrial school and an old folks' home in Virginia and does a large home and foreign mission work. THE STATESMAN. DENVER. COLORADO. Hours: 9 to 11 a. m., 1 to 4 p. m. 7 to 8 p. m.

PAGE.6 To Be Held at Louisville, Ky., August 18, 19 and 20, 1909—Fine Program Side Trip to Mammoth Cavel The Ninth Annual Convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to be held at Louisville, in "Old Kentucky," Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 18, 19 and 20, promises to be one of the most interesting and best attended conventions that have been held since the organization of the league at Boston, nine years ago. The stimulating effect upon Negro business enterprise which this league has been exerting under the direction of Dr. Booker T. Washington and his official staff has been clearly seen and appreciated and, in part, explains the league's constantly increasing membership. The league welcomes to its membership every man and woman of the race who is engaged or interested in some worthy Negro business enterprise and only a nominal charge of $2 per year is expected from each member, which membership fund is used in prosecuting the work and extending the influence of the organization; this membership fee of $2 also procures for each delegate a badge which entitles the delegate to a seat upon the floor of the convention as well as free admission and service at the annual banquet and at all of the other social functions provided by the local committee for the benefit of delegates. The central location of Louisville, the special railroad rates that have been secured for all delegates (a rare and a third, plus 50 cents) the excellent program which is being arranged, and the many social features and other attractions which have been provided for all indicate an unusually large attendance. The officers of the Local Negro Business League of Louisville are working energetically to make this the banner meeting of the league and the generous provisions already made for the reception and entertainment of delegates and visitors, justifies the prediction that all those who attend will be treated to genuine Kentucky hospitality. What promises to be an especially unique and interesting feature on the program is known as "Mississippi Day," which means that one entire day will be given over to the state of Mississippi, whose delegates will discuss and illustrate the phenomenal progress that has been made by Negro men in that state since the emancipation of the slaves. The program is nearly completed and is being carefully prepared by Mr. Emmett J. Scott, corresponding secretary of the National League, who has just returned from Liberia! printed copies will soon be available. Aside from the program proper, an old-fashioned Kentucky barbecue has been arranged and the annual banquet will be held in one of the largest halls of the city. The Louisville city council has generously made a special appropriation toward defraying certain expenses connected with the entertainment of this body, and on Saturday, August 21, a special excursion to Mammoth Cave, (46 miles from Louisville) will be conducted by the Louisville Negro League for the benefit of the delegates, all of whom will doubtless be glad to visit what is universally conceded to be one of the grandest wonders of the world.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that "theirs is the same" or "just as good") or referred to "PORO." We advise you to use only "PORO" Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name "PORO" is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by MRS. A M. POPE.

There is a great tidal wave of sympathetic helpfulness which has given new manhood in the south among Afro-Americans. The environments of millions of Afro-Americans in the south have caused a number of young men who have the physical strength, consistent training and moral stamina to work for the uplift of a large number of the Afro-American folk whose feet are fettered by ignorance. The church among people of color, especially in North Carolina, is somewhat becoming institutional and is working to redeem the people out of their woe and want. The Sabbath schools of the various churches in the south are rapidly becoming a sympathetic social movement that will eventually become a glory of this age. In the eastern section of North Carolina there is a young man who is an ardent disciple of the new spirit that demands forbearance and mutual sympathy and the identifying of oneself with those who are hedged in by ignorance and sin. This young man is Professor William H. Jackson of Newbern, N. C., a native of South Carolina. He is a graduate of Brainerd institute, Chester, S. C., and Lincoln university and specialized at Lake Geneva, Wis., and Chicago. During the years of 1902-3 he was instructor of Latin, algebra and music at McClelland academy, Newman, Ga. Imbued with a spirit of higher helpfulness, he enlisted in the Sabbath school forward movement and is doing excellent work as Sabbath school missionary in the Cape Fear presbytery of the state of North Carolina. --- PAGE.8. TERMS. THE POOR ARE ONCE MORE TO BE SHEARED. Policy is running again in the city of Denver and the nickles of the poor will find the shortest road to the coffers of the gambling syndicate. Policy is the only form of gambling that has never been accused of being run "crooked." It is such a crime against common sense, it offers such poor prospects of winning and so thoroughly partakes of the nature of highway robbery that it is not necessary to cheat to win. Given the patronage, and the operators of the game can pay high rental for policy shops, high wages to policy writers, a rakeoff to the authorities and still make other gambling games look like 30 cents. For the sake of the poor folish negroes whose little earnings are quickly spent on the fatal numbers, we wish the district attorney would wake up and get busy. FORMER DENVERITE MAKES GOOD. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Jackson are once more at home, having made an extensive tour of the Northwest. They spent considerable time in Spokane, Portland and "did" the Fair in Seattle. Mr. Jackson was much impressed with the business outlook of that section. The farm lands, the commercial enterprise, the opportunities for foreign commerce all give to this section a distinctive air of promise. In Seattle Mr. Jackson found several negroes doing business on such a large and successful scale that they are indistinguishable from other successful Americans. One of these was Samuel H. Stone, formerly of our city, who is Seattle's leading caterer. He bids fair to become one of that city's wealthy men. His service is unusually good and he enjoys the patronage and confidence of the elite. He has purchased several valuable pieces of property and in all respects is making substantial progress. Others are doing well, but they are unknown to Coloradoans. MORGAN JACKSON MAKES BIG HIT AT SCOTT CHURCH. Notwithstanding there were six other events upon that same evening, yet Mr. Morgan Jackson played to nearly 150 people at the entertainment given by Club No. 9 last Thursday evening. If ever there was a time when the audience was thoroughly in tune with the musical artist, it was certainly upon this occasion. Every number upon the program received such an overwhelming ovation that each were forced to render an encore. The participants were Miss Thistle of Cheyenne, who did herself well in rendering a piano solo, while Miss Jones as an elocutionist was simply grand. The Student quartette had five calls and made good each time. The trombone solo and R. E. Handy's solo were warmly applauded and a great future is in store for Mr. Handy if his voice is put under training. Messrs.

The Ministers' Union met at the Campbell A. M. E. church last Tuesday morning. The president called SCOTT'S CHAPEL NCTES. The musical and literary entertainment that was given by Morgan Jackson for the benefit of Club No.9, Lawyer G. G. Ross, captain, was an entire success. The church was filled with enthusiastic listeners. The special feature of the concert was the singing of the Fisk quartet. The young people covered themselves with glory with the rendition of this splendid program. Mr. Morgan Jackson has made himself a name in Denver. He possesses rare musical ability and some day will be heard from. Success to him. The time is nearing for the grand rally. The clubs are very active in giving entertainments and soliciting among the many friends of Denver. We ask the support of all church-loving people in this struggle to pay off our debt, which is due January, 1910. We must strike now while the iron is hot. Watch out for the captains of the clubs. Club No. 3 will give a musical and literary entertainment Thursday, August 26th. Mrs. Dora E. Wallace is the captain of this club. Mrs. Anna Cox has been appointed captain of Club No. 8 in the place of Mrs. Anna Johns, who cannot serve. Mrs. Bettie Red of St. Louis is stopping with Mrs. Dora E. Wallace. Mrs. Red comes from the large Union Memorial church of St. Louis and will place her membership with Scott. Mrs. Anna Bobo has returned from the District Conference. She stopped at the Springs for a few days' rest on her way home and feels much refreshed. The second quarterly conference of Scott's church will be held Sept. 25th. The Rev. W. McDonald, pastor at Colorado Springs, will hold the quarter. Mrs. P. E. Campbell is out again, to the delight of her many friends. The Ladies' Aid Society was entertained by Mistresses Clinkscale and Evans last Thursday at the parsonage. Mr. and Mrs. F. D. McPherson are spending a few days at their home in Ft. Logan on a vacation trip. Class No. 1 was the banner class last Wednesday night. This class raised the highest amount of money. Mr. J. D. Rice is the popular leader. The choir sang from their new Anthems Sunday. It was good music, too. Come and hear them. Madam Alice Dorsey, formerly of Kansas City, Mo., is now in our city and is giving scalp treatment, and is also growing hair. Give her a trial. All work guaranteed.

The president called the meeting to order after a week's absence from the city. The Rev. Wm. Beckham was a visitor Tuesday and spoke words of encouragement to the Union. The various churches are enjoying prosperity both spiritually and temporarily. The Campbell church reported over $50.00 raised as its Sunday collections and Zion reported $20.00 raised in an after collection for Missions. Good services were reported in all of the churches. The Central Baptist church reported unusual large crowds all day and at the night service, just after the sermon, the lights went out. Candles and lamps were hurriedly substituted and the collection taken. Shorter Chapel reported four accessions to the church and Campbell seven and one for Central. The Rev. E. Roy preached for the Church of God people and was raked over the coals for so doing, as this church is not recognized by the Orthodox churches. The Central Baptist church announced that its rally would be on the third Sunday in October. Zion announced that its rally would be on the second Sunday in October. The People's Presbyterian announced the same date as that of Zion, but the dates will be arranged in the future so as to harmonize. Scott's Chapel announced its rally on the last Sunday in this month. Shorter Chapel announced that the last quartely conference of this year would be on the first Sunday in September. Campbell church announced that its quarterly conference, which is the last, would be on the 22nd. The Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell will preach the Sacramental sermon. Evangelist Douglass closed his revival services at Campbell church with great results. The constitution will be amended so as to make the papers the order of the day every Tuesday instead of making reports of sermons and the work in general. This is a movement in the right direction. This shows advancement and should be hailed with joy. The programs for the next six months were submitted and adopted. They are neat and well gotten up, which shows gerat taste and arrangement on the part of the committee. The Rev. J. B. Beckham is the efficient chairman of the Program committee.
