EVERY WOMAN and many men will be interested in the Great Premium Offer The Statesman announces this week on this page. TRANKLIN'S PAPER THE STATESMAN SHALL WE RECOMMEND OUR RACE'S COMPETITORS An Answer to the Covert Thrust at the Race's Professional Men Twenty-Second Year SHALL WE RECOMMEN OUR COMP An Answer to the the Race's Pr SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW. The desire for worldly possessions, prompting a man to sacrifice his friends or to sell his soul for "a mess of pottage," is in the same class with the over vaulting ambition of the Denver Independent to shine as a journalistic magic worker in its endeavor to curry favor with a traducer of the race's professional men and women, as was exhibited in the last issue of that paper. Its readers will recall the effulgent and bombastic tommy-rot that was dished out to them in a front page write-up of a certain white doctor in town; this article is in keeping with the well known practices of his dupes who drum up for him all the Negroes and Japanese in Denver who have no faith in their own physicians. Such a spectacle as greeted the eyes of our colored men and women, who are dentists, lawyers, undertakers, brokers, barbers, druggists, preachers and physicians, is enough to make them "sit up" and ask themselves what is the next thing that the devil will produce for their undoing and humiliation before the people. It is alleged by the colored physicians that there is not another white physician in town known to them who takes more delight in defaming colored physicians, who goes further out of his way to cast slurs upon them, and who more fragrantly disregards all the laws of the "code of ethics" in his dealings with colored physicians and colored patients. It is also alleged that to some colored people he has expressed surprise that the State Board of Medical Examiners would license colored men and women to practice medicine. And this is the man that our colored weekly holds up to us as the choice of its editors and one of its proprietors. He is the man that stands as the idol of some of our social leaders and church pillars; they take sweet pleasure in singing his praises on every occasion, and at the same time "knock" the colored physicians. Some of these people are loud mouthed in preaching race unity and race love. Some of them are educating their children for the professions, and give entertainments and sell tickets for these entertainments to our professionals, and it is a fact that these same parents never patronize our colored professionals. A colored physician or dentist or druggist is not good enough for them. O no! All their certificates for sickness sent to the colored lodges must be signed by a white physician. The relatives of our colored professionals are compelled to stand in club meetings or lodge rooms and listen to these same people gush over with the praises of this same white man or some other one, while their words fairly drop with honey in their glorification of "our family doctor." Listen to this: The Atlanta Independent says: "The Irish, German, Jews and all other nationalities take pride and even glory in the men of their race who stand in representative places, for they feel and know such places do not go to the men because of themselves alone, but because of a desire to recognize a people deserving of recognition."—July 15, 1911. Some may feel disposed to think that these sentiments against race "knockers" are too severe. Don't you think the colored professionals have a right to be sensitive along this line? and don't you think they have a right to feel enraged and insulted? Don't you know that they are fully aware that certain self-appointed leaders and dictators never lose an opportunity to prejudice the minds of the community against them and their life calling? Their slander and envy and malice are served up in clubs, swell social functions, prayer meetings, and across the back fences, and the pity of the whole matter is that their lies and "knock- ing" cannot be stopped nor called into court. But when the editor of a Negro paper goes out of his way to lend approval to these "knockers" and character assassins, he should be denounced as a panderer after cheap notoriety and a seeker after a white man's money in preference to the good will and patronage of Denver's colored professionals. The natural distrust that the Denver Negroes have in each other is encouraged by the policy of the Denver Independent. To preach one thing and then to practice entirely the opposite thing is the rankest kind of hypocrisy and betrayal. Everybody knows that many Negroes worship a white face regardless of ability and character. And should information reach Denver tomorrow that the inhabitants of the "New Jerusalem" would all turn black when they stepped upon the golden streets there, our colored churches would have to close their doors and their pastors would have to seek other kinds of employment. This prejudice in Denver is not due to the poor qualifications of our professionals. They are men and women who studied and graduated from the best schools in this country. Many of them were the only colored among a large class of whites; some of them were the honor men and women of their classes. Some of them are the possessors of college and honorary degrees, and yet in the opinion of some of our race "knockers" these same men and women are "green fools" and dummies. Some of these "knockers" think a colored graduated pharmacist knows enough to draw soda water and that is all; that a colored graduated dentist knows enough to pull out a snag of a tooth and that is all; when they have a prescription to be filled they go elsewhere; when they have fine and skillful dental work they go elsewhere; when they have a dirty job, like the performing of a criminal operation, they hunt up the colored doctor and are surprised greatly when they are told that he does not do that kind of practice; and when a member of their family needs a doctor for some other ailment they telephone for a white doctor. In practically every section of the country except this, Negro doctors have performed as great and as grave operations as any white doctor that ever lived; and the lack of the same results in this city is easily explained. First, the colored people of this city do not give their own medical men the chance, and are more loyal and devout in their adherence to white physicians who have no standing or prestige with their own race. Secondly, these same white sharks help to legislate and persist in upholding such laws as exclude Negro doctors from operating in the Denver hospitals, so as to work against a demonstration of our Negro doctors' surgical ability; and then he can easily yell. Negro doctors are not surgeons. And nine out of ten times this same individual who develces and beguiles Negro patients would make a hasty exit from a sleeping car or dining room where Negroes may be present. It goes without saying that the article in question is an injustice and an unnecessary rebuke to the Negro doctors of this city; and why a Negro concern which must be supported by our own people will urge the Negroes to stand pat to white doctors in preference to the medical men of our own race, is a problem we cannot solve. And then there is connected with this paper a Negro professional man whose business and home are dependent upon the trade of his people; and yet he advertises himself as using this great white medical savior. What we need is less self-appointed agents and peddlers for white professionals.

These same traducers seem to think a colored professional and his wife are good enough to accept invitations to swell social functions, and that the write-up in the papers will look better when the names of the professionals appear. Colored business people may be in hard luck, may be run down at the heels, and may look gloomy, but not one of them is a fool. They keep their tongues, but your extended hand and olly words are not deceiving them. They may be stabbed and struck in the dark, but their assailants are not misjudged. Thanks to many men and women, our colored business and professional people are holding up their heads and can look every person in the face and not hat an eye. The brand of Judas ought to be burned into the forehead of every race traitor. The Negro who will not give another one a fair chance and a square deal in all walks of life is a coward and a poltroon.

THE ALLIANCE NOTES The mass meeting held under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance Sunday afternoon was well attended. The people came together with a calm determination to do the best thing in the best way and to meet the issues squarely and in many fashion. There was a pleasing absence of the pyrotechnical show and mob rule spirit, and with one exception, every one conducted himself with proper decorum. Prayer was offered by Rev. A. E. mending the governor for his prompt mending the governor for his prompt defense of law and order, which resolutions were referred to a committee of the following persons: Mr. Thos. Campbell, Mr. C. W. Buford, Mrs. Lizzie Froman and Rev. A. E. Reynolds, who immediately retired and later reported the revised resolutions, which were adopted. Attorney W. B. Townsend then placed the facts of the case as gathered from the attorney in charge of the defense at Pueblo, which facts tended to show that the regrettable affray was the result of a defense against a murderous assault upon the defendant and his family and it showed emphatically that there was an immediate need of funds. Mr. Townsend's recital of past experiences in defense of his people was to the point and aroused a conservative feeling of self defense in the hearers. He announced his own intention to keep out of the present case to avoid stirring up race prejudice and personal dangers unnecessarily, except what he could do as a good citizen and as a Negro in best service to his people. He closed with an effective appeal for funds to pay necessary court fees and costs of securing evidence --- be outdone by any paper, even the which it will give to its subscribers.

And without another word the people came forward with offerings and placed nearly $25.00 on the table. Then followed a few words by the wizard of Negro church finance, Rev D. E.

ANXIOUS TO ADVANGE CAUSE, Ambitious Young Educator Will Act as Financial Agent and Director of Agriculture In Growing School at Sedalia, N, C-—How He Rose From Obscurity to Prominence. New York.—One of the brilliant young graduates of this year’s class at Tuskegee (Ala.) institute is G. Cleve land Buchanan, who graduated from the agricultural and scientific depart- ments with honors, receiving special commendation from Principal Booker T, Washington. Mr. Buchanan has re- cently been made one of the faculty of the Palmer Memorial institute, Se- dalia, N. C. He will act as financial agent and director of the agricultural department. Mr. Buchanan fs in New York for the summer, conferring with friends of the school and arranging for financial aid with which to furnish the school with the necessary equipment for the yarious departments to be put in operation this fall. He is a native of Shelbyville, Tenn., where he received the rudiments of his early education. It is Mr. Buchanan's intention to in- culcate into the student body of the Palmer Memorial institute the high ideals he recetved at his alma mater. Having supplemented the knowledge which he received on his father’s farm with a scientific course in agriculture he {s well prepared to enter upon his new duties with that degree of conti- dence which characterizes the trained man of affairs. He also spent an extra year at Tuskegee, making a special study of truck gardening and stock raising. He is full of the Tuskegee spirit and is anxfous to try his kand in helping to make the Palmer school a great lever for the educational uplift of the masses. In telling of bis struggles to get through school Mr. Buchanan says: “At Tuskegee I was known us the ‘peanut man’ because 1 sold peanuts Serr Sense , age polls ie iF es be ie. pe r ree. cs Ges Re Ma 7 —— = Fs. a oa ae ya Be cay i a i Ca ae Oe 4 as is ° mck lal a GSEASe ee to the students and teachers to help pay my way through school.

Never feattck nee te ape Pee: ‘Word has been received by the corre- sponding secretary, the Rev. L. G. Jor- dan, of the National Baptist Foreign mission board of the recent death of Lewis G. Bouey, missionary, at Cape Mount, west Africa. Mr. Bouey was a native of South Carolina and suc- ceeded his father, the late Rev. H. N. Bouey, whose death occurred in Africa in December. 1909.

The annual field day exercises of the now famous Third regiment, Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, recently held in Atlantic City, was a glowing success. Colonel P. H. Edwards was in command and carried out the program to the satisfaction of all concerned. He was re-elected for the sixth successive year. Led by Patriarchle No. 1 of Philadelphia, the grand street parade was made up of the following in the first division: Patriarchle No. 2, New York; No. 3, Harrisbugh, Pa.; No. 30, Williamsport, Pa.; No. 25, Carlisle, Pa.; No. 73, Atlantic City, N. J.; No. 80, Marietta, Pa.; No 124, Princeton, N. J.; No. 83, Wilkesbarre, Pa.; No. 137, Camden, N. J.; No. 167, Chambersburg, Pa.; No. 20, Wilmington, Del., and regiment No. 2 of Philadelphia. The second division was as follows: Prudent Penn Ladies' auxiliary, Philadelphia; No. 1 New York, and Ladies' auxiliary of Patriarchie 78, Atlantic City; Defiance Fife and Drum corps, Philadelphia; Past Grand Masters' council, No. 1, Philadelphia; Liberty life and Drum corps, Atlantic Patriarchie, John Marshall, Atlantic lodge, Oceanic lodge, Pacific lodge and Arctic lodge, all of Atlantic City. Third division—Patriarchie, T. H. Buckner, marshal; Major Henry Marshall; Atlantic Household of Ruth, Leah household, Pacific household and Naomi household and juveniles. The competitive drill was held on Young's pier. The successful winners of prizes, a handsome silk American flag, were Patriarchie No. 1, Philadelphia, first prize, and Ladies' auxiliary, Philadelphia, first prize. Professor Julian Franklin and ten assistants directed the grand march and dance program for over 500 couples at a time. Among the citizens of the resort who assisted the local committee in entertaining the visitors were Mr James Ottery, Stafford Bros.: Elks lodge No. 9, Harry Scott, Ben Allen and the Atlantic City Weekly Topic office force, where the headquarters were located. Edward Bailey, chairman of the music and reception committee, had charge of the arrangements at the pier. INFLUENCE OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION WIDENING. Work of Organization Ably Presented by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. The good influence and work of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People are rapidly spreading throughout the country. During the latter half of May Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, director of the public department of the association and editor of the Crisis, traveled thousands of miles and addressed thousands of people. Among the cities visited were Wheeling, W. Va., Cincinnati, St. Louis, Denver and Colorado Springs. Dr. Du Bois is now in London filling engagements prior to the meeting of the first universal race congress, which convenes on Tuesday, July 25. The distinguished scholar will be entertained at dinner by the Lyceum club in London on Monday, June 26. The club had arranged this function in honor of Dr. Du Bois in March, but as he could not be present it was put off until the time above mentioned. The races congress will continue four days. There will be several sessions held daily, affording opportunity for each race to be heard through its special representative. Dr Du Bois will speak for the colored people of America. The gathering will be a notable one. Its object is already attracting worldwide attention. Over thirty American colored persons will be present at the sessions of the congress.

Stop the Legal Lynching! The case of Robert Harris, who is under arrest for the killing of two officers in Rocky Ford on the Fourth of July, has been the principal topic of discussion in Denver this week. Beginning with the mass meeting Sunday, held under the call of the People's Sunday Alliance, the sympathy and the rush to assist Harris has grown until it has evolved practically the whole community. A most dramatic situation arose in the mass meeting when Lawyer W. B. Townsend recited the facts as he had received first hand from Rocky Ford. It appears that contrary to the report as given in the white press, young Harris together with his father and mother and his wife were at home. The disturbance spoken of in the dispatches had occurred at home between young Harris and wife, a family quarrel and nothing more. They happen to have bought a home in a portion of Rocky Ford where they were not desired and neighbors summoned the police, who arrived hours after the occurrence. This interference and the garbled press reports are of a class. Without warrant or attempt at explanation the officers burst in the door and assaulted young Harris. They then extended their violence to the aged father and mother. Thereupon Robert Harris, who had kept his hands up, took a hand and shot them both with one of the officers' weapons. Since the killing not only the slayer but the whole family have been kept in jail, even relatives from out the city being arrested when they went to Rocky Ford. Every effort to attend to their defense has thereby been blocked. Even witnesses who might have testified for them have been intimidated. The whole machinery of the law in Rocky Ford has been used to prevent a fair and impartial trial of the case. A prominent lawyer of Pueblo has been retained for the defense, but unless a change of venue is granted Harris will be convicted on prejudice alone. All the elements of self-defense and defense of his mother and father, the unlawful entry of his home, the unwarranted use of arms of arrest for a trivial offense seem likely to be ignored in an endeavor to show this Negro up as a criminal. It is to be expected that the race will rally to his defense under the conditions. The Alliance meeting netted over $30; the night service at Shorter got over $10. Rocky Mountain Lodge of Masons donated $10; individual subscriptions are pouring in and $100 is expected as Denver's donation to the defense. Considerable credit is due to Lawyer Townsend for his initiative in securing the facts which were laid before the meeting. So set is the mind of the general public that Negroes are one and all criminals that it is refreshing to have facts that show that our acts are sometimes born of the highest and best purposes. If Harris must be convicted and must die, he will at least be a martyr to the sanctity of the home and his death will be more fruitful of results than could an uneneficial life. We cannot close this article without again referring to the editorial which appeared in this paper immediately after the killing in which we said that the Negro has learned that law is upheld by whites only when it suits their purpose and that we have become more and more self-sufficient. Had the law been strictly followed in this case there would have been no killing and if one Negro must die to show to the world that we have the courage to insist upon our rights by individual might where other help is lacking, at least something will have been gained. We would not surround Harris with a halo of glory, but any man who will submit to seeing his mother assaulted by a brute of an officer with a pistol as his weapon, is too lacking in red blood for this age of iron. The Census Bureau is authority for the statement that while the white people of the South have gone from the country to the cities, increasing 18.9 per cent in the 20 years from 1890 to 1910, negroes have increased 17.7 per cent. Likewise the population in cities has grown 19 per cent for whites, while negroes have grown only 7.2 per cent over the same period. Unless it be true that the birth rate among city negroes in the southern states has fallen off, the great loss in the cities is due to emigration northward. Whether to other cities or to farms, the census does not show. However, it is clear that Negroes are not leaving the soil so rapidly as was supposed. Instead of exceeding the whites, they are behind. The appeals of teachers, no less than the compelling power of conditions, are telling. Land will ultimately come into the possession of the worker. The Negro --- Phone Main 7905. problem, no matter how complex and disheartening at times, no matter how disturbed by rank injustice done under the sheltering wing of law, is solvable, and will be really solved when each Negro has achieved an independent living. Dogmatists preaching new thought, civic rights and the like, or pragmatists with their practical lessons, can do no greater work for the race than to inculcate the love of the land. Success for Negroes Depends upon the Undivided Support of All Success for Negroes Depends upon the Undivided Support of All The Negro who aspires knows in the outset, that the way is hard and cheerless. Whether in trade or profession, he knows that he must woo his patronage away from whites of approved skill and experience, for the civilization we copy, being of white origin, of necessity has made the white professional man or artisan the teacher and the Negro the follower. And it is the greatest compliment to us that we have won such large patronage in so short a freedom. While it is evident therefore that it is the competition of the whites which is the greatest encountered by colored workers, even for the trade of colored people, this condition is known before hand by every Negro who aspires and he is prepared to meet it; but he is not prepared to meet the suspicion, the prejudice and even the treachery of his own people. Appreciation of his white competitors arising from past good service is natural but invidious comparison, platitudinous praise and the like do not take into account the fact that the colored physician has cases of merit just as worthy as the white. Its worst feature is the substantiation it seems to give to the old slavery prejudice that the work of colored hands and brains is of necessity inferior. The attack from without may as well be borne with a smile. But the slurs and insinuations of our own people are a heavy burden. Where colored men attempt to perform a service and their efforts are met with indifference and their white competitors are praised, we flaunt our lack of self-respect before the world. So it is that we sympathize with the Denver colored physicians who have recently been held up to shame by the advertising methods of a white physician of this city through the medium of a colored paper. Only the angel of mercy can tell the cases where our colored physicians have taken in hand patients stripped of their last dollar and hopeless, and fought off disease with consumate care and skill. For they have never stooped to subsidize the press and recite the roll of their cures after the manner of quacks. While they have suffered the coward stroke of white physicians who supplant them in cases and brand their medicines as harmful, they have not paid them back in kind. And so they should be spared the gratuitous affront of fulsome praise of a competitor when every word of it I true, was a covert slap at their ability. A. T. Moore, the pioneer Negro undertaker in this city, went into business only after being refused an apprenticeship even without pay, by all the leading white undertakers of this city. Yet some Negroes are so little concerned about their race being respected that they fall over (themselves soliciting business for the very men who refused him. Lawyer W. B. Townsend has a record of 20 years' sacrifice for his race in Kansas and Colorado. Just last Sunday, by his unsolicited initiative, he placed in the hands of his brethren the so much needed information about the Harris case at Rocky Ford, yet it is Negroes who direct their friends to white attorneys. Not a colored doctor but has some signal success to his credit, yet a colored newspaper supposed to be for the race, a business dependent upon the race, directs colored people to a white physician! For shame! If the praise bestowed upon this white physician is productive of results, it will mean that the colored people so influenced will go to him. They will take their business away from the colored men whom they know in lodge and church, from those whose social relations insure their honest service, and transfer it to a man whose position gives no like assurance. They will forsake a member of their own race whose success means a higher regard for themselves. We are ashamed of the Negroes who refuse to give their own men a chance and most of all ashamed of the gusto with which supposed to be race-loving people praise their competitors.

Not because we wish to make odious comparison, but to prevent misunderstandings that arise when we keep silent. The Statesman wishes to give its rates for advertising entertainments and the reason for them. By the line, inserted in the local news, advertising costs 5 cents. We have made a feature of entertainment advertisements, which are double column wide and six inches deep, and for these a uniform charge is made of $2.50 the first week and $2.00 for each week thereafter. These advertisements and all that are larger are given the best position in the paper, while smaller advertisements used for the same purpose, costing less in proportion, are given such other positions as remain when these have been placed. Therefore the six-inch double advertisement has been very profitable for entertainment givers and is almost universally used. It is inevitable that some persons will think this rate high and will draw that conclusion from rates given by other papers. We have no desire to injure our competition, but in justification of our own rates, which have been unchanged for the last six years. The Statesman offers to any and all persons interested the opportunity to investigate its Denver circulation. Come any Friday at 5 o'clock and see for yourself that we are delivering the papers we claim. We have made our rate as low as we can and live. Papers sending two and three hundred and claiming two and three thousand undoubtedly can make rates with which we cannot compete. But just as the larger amount costs the most, so the most circulation brings the larger result and is worth the most. The Statesman offers its circulation at any time in proof of its claim that it has three times the circulation of any colored paper in Denver. We hope this explanation of rates and conditions will set at rest the misrepresentations that have been used to confuse the public. AH! THE NEXT BIG THING!

The advantages offered by the Agricultural Department of Tuskegee Institute are exceptional. The teaching is excellent, the latest improved implements are used and the very best breeds of live stock are maintained. The following industries are offered: Farming, truck gardening, fruit growing, care and management of mules and horses, dairy husbandry, dairying, poultry raising, swine raising, beef production and slaughtering, canning and veterinary science. It is impossible for the institution to supply the demand for persons trained in agriculture. Applications come for persons to teach agriculture in various schools, while others are wanted to manage dairies, to oversee the work of a large plantation, to operate a truck farm. Good salaries are offered. The school farm consists of 2,400 acres; 1,000 acres of this land are under cultivation. In the farming division it is the plan to raise all food stuffs as nearly as possible for the 1,200 head of live stock owned by the school. The young men in this divi- Booker T.

Three and four crops are grown each year on our truck garden, in which there are eighty acres to grow vegetables for the school and town. This division has realized from $300 to $400 an acre on some of its garden land. The truck garden operates two vegetable wagons. Peaches, strawberries, grapes, pums, pears and figs are grown in the fruit growing division. Eighty acres are devoted to this kind of work. The division of care and management of horses and mules, has 172 head of stock under its charge which are used to do the work on the farm and the hauling of the school. The dairy husbandry division contains a herd of 212 head of cattle, which supply milk to the dairy, which is made into butter and cheese or sold as wh... or skim milk to the boarding department of the school, and to the town.

The pastor preached from the subject, “Soul Culture Through Service.” The discourse was no doubt profitable as well as enjoyable to all those present. ‘At the evening service the pastor began a series of sermons from the parables of Jesus. The discussion dealt with the parable of the tares. The series will continue through the remainder of the summer. The sery- ice will begin promptly at 7:55 p. m. and close at 9:00. : ‘The Sunday school is continuing its development along lines calculated to keep pace with modern needs. In this our superintendent and teachers are to be specially commended. Better methods insure better service, and when the spirit of Christ pervades the effort there can be but one result— success. One very gratifying feature of this work is the increased attend- ance of primary scholars; special in- terest in this department has resulted n many little folks coming into the church during the past few months. The B. Y. P. U. is iorging to the front as one of the most active auxil- iary bodies of the church. Here also the young people are much in evi- dence. There can be no greater tes: timony to the progress and permanent development of the work than this growing activity among the young people. There is something in our president that appeals both to the young and the old. No better man could have been selected for this de partment of the work. ‘The Sewing Circle, the Mission Cir- je and the Willing Workers are each pushing forward in the work, notwith: standing the fact that summer vaca- tions are in order. They have in mind our fall- rally and are planning to make their influence felt when the roll call comes.

ROYAL KNIGHTS OF KING DAVID REPORTS SHOW GOOD RESULTS Busy Season For Large Fraternal Order, Which Benefits Thousands of Afro-Americans by the Honest and Conservative Manner In Which Its Business Affairs Are Conducted. By GEORGE F. KING. Sumter, S. C.-That Afro-American fraternal organizations which are being conducted along safe business lines with honest business men as officials are doing effective work in bettering the condition of the race was conclusively evidenced at the meeting of the grand lodge of the Royal Knights of King David, which held its session beginning July 11-13 in Orangeburg, S.C., and July 17-19 in this city. The reports showed that a conservative management mastered every detail of the large amount of business and that PROF. W. G. PEARSON. thousands had been benefited and were striving to help bring the race up to the highest plane. The reports also showed that the treasury was in a most excellent condition. The organization has placed with the insurance commissioner of South Carolina $5,000 for the protection of its members and has over $15,000 in resources. This feat gives the order much prestige with the laboring contingent of the race that needs such protection. Hundreds of delegates from various states attended the meetings, and their deliberations showed that they were the class of citizens who were laying a substantial foundation for the material progress of the race. The report of the supreme grand scribe, Professor W. G. Pearson, created much enthusiasm among the delegates. He is one of the most prominent and progressive pedagogues of the race. He is a graduate of Shaw university and supplemented his training by specializing at Cornell university. As principal of the Whitted high school in Durham he has produced such methods as have brought him prominence in educational circles because of the use of his methods in a number of institutions of learning throughout the country. He is one of the founders of the Mechanics and Farmers' bank, one of its directors, president of the Whitted woodworking and upholstering works and president of the Durham broom factory, in Durham. When Dr. Shepard was putting his plans for his great school into operation Professor Pearson was among his stanchest supporters and is a trustee of the school. As president of the local Negro business league of Durham he has made this movement a telling factor in the lives of Afro-Americans in that section. The name of John Merrick, the president of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association, president of the Mechanics and Farmers' bank, stockholder in every prominent commercial movement in Durham, capitalist and philanthropist, is a synonym for material progress. Mr. Merrick is one of the founders of this order and is president of the same. These two active men of affairs give the fraternity the benefit of their ripe experience. A visit to the headquarters of the order in Durham will find well appointed offices and a system meeting every requirement of the order. Miss Bessie Shearer is head clerk and is ably assisted in the work by a number of other capable young women. The board of directors is composed of men of character, intellect and business experience. They are men who have accumulated enough wealth not to depend upon the organization for financial support and are wholly interested in the uplift of the race. Messrs. J. L. Pearson, John M. Avery, John Merrick, W. G. Pearson, Durham, N. C.; Matthew Nicholson, Norfolk, Va.; Rev. J. C. Cox, Cheraw, S. C. are the members of the board of directors. These meetings were the greatest in the annals of the organization. Noted Speakers at Races Congress. The program at the first universal races congress in London for Friday.

They like the novelties and wonders of this age. The theaters and gardens and a thousand other things for the eyes to feast on. Bohemia has its share in the make-up of the people. If not at all times then at times. Bohemia likes to meet Bohemia. It doesn't matter about the age, young or old, all the same. But in Denver we should complain. There is no excitement and that's a shame, but some of these days we will be like the rest, with fine colored hotels, cafes and theaters and all things that are best, so don't fret, dear people, just stick around awhile and if you don't see a big change here soon why then I'm not a colored child. MURPHY AND FRANCES. Bert Murphy and his wife, Mrs. Frances, are contemplating a big act of seven people, one that will be strong enough to be booked on the largest circuits in the country. As a comedian Murphy is second to Bert Williams and should have no trouble in having his wants fulfilled. TOM MOTTS SUCCEEDS MOTTS. Since the death of his uncle, Mr Robert Motts, the owner of the Pekin theater, Chicago, everything has been left in the hands of the nephew, Mr Tom Motts, a capable young Negro business man with a great foresight and a strong business head, and in time should gain the reputation the same as his uncle before him. THE ROCKIES LOSE TO ARVADAS. What I call a bum game of ball is bad playing ball and the R. M. A. C.'s certainly played some bad ball last Sunday. In fact they didn't even play bum, they played horrible. Just to think of the R. M. A. C. baseball boys letting a bunch of farmers, known as the Arvadas, beat them by a score of 16 to 6! Well that's what happened last Sunday in Arvada and if the Rockies don't play better this Sunday than they did last Sunday it will be a case of lost balls in the high, high weeds, so brace up boys and let us see whether you are capable of coming back. Jeff didn't and if you boys don't play better you won't even start back. THE WHEELER THEATER. The Negroes of Baltimore are contemplating one of the finest Negro theaters in the country. It will be a building on the order of the big white theaters, with a seating capacity of 1,500, total cost of building to be something like $50,000. There will also be a number of offices in the building which will make it the first of its flind for the Negro. The theater will run under the name of the Wheeler. The Paris-American Negro heavyweight, Sam McVey, will probably come to America the first of September. He is seeking a match with Joe Jeanette. The Acme theater (for colored people only) opened its doors last week to the public and has played to capacity crowds ever since the opening. This theater is located in the very heart of the city with a seating capacity of 500, playing moving pictures and small vaudeville. Manager Loretta, an old-time performer, thinks that he will in time have one of the finest little paying theaters in the South, as his support is A1 from everybody. CLAUD SMITH, A NEW LIGHT-WEIGHT.

The fight fans have made Jeanette a betting favorite of 10 to 7. S. H. DUDLEY & CO. The famous negro comedian, S. H. Dudley, and company, are rehearsing to produce one of the largest negro aggregations ever attempted on the road. The company will consist of 90 all-star performers, with S. H. Dudley as the star. JACK JOHNSON GONE ON ENGLAND. Probably one of the highest-minded Negroes in the world is the personality of Mr. Jack Johnson. Ever since Jack has been abroad he has been treated like a king, and in fact by some people he is looked upon as much so as the king. Jack was asked the other day by a London reporter if he liked the English people better than the Americans, and Jack said he liked the English so well that if the United States and England ever went to war that he would gladly shoulder a big canon and fight for dear old Hingland. Well, good treatment makes a hit with even a dog and Jack didn't get that over here, so why should he be proud of this country. SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE. Seventh Annual Meeting of the Durham District Held in Efland. Efland, N. C.-The seventh annual session of the Durham district Sunday school institute, which closed its four days' meeting in this town on Sunday, July 16, was noted for enthusiasm on the part of the Sunday school workers in the A. M. E. church in this district and a helpful demonstration of the effective work being done by those identified with the movement. An exceptional feature of the session was the intelligent growth in the rural districts caused by the dissemination of practical knowledge which has entered into the very fiber of the superintendents and teachers. Although this institute is not of a large scope, when national movements are considered, its peculiar opportunity in Christian activity for racial uplift gives it recognition beyond its sphere because of its modern methods in teaching. Every Sunday school in the district was represented by delegates who were making this phase of Christian work a part of their business, and there was in evidence at each session a keen appreciation of the duties involved upon them, especially in making the study of the Bible attractive. Interesting round table talks on how to reach families that manifest no interest in the Sunday school and their indifference to Christian organization and timely suggestions for the widen- ing of the influence of the Sunday school made the institute one of helpfulness. New ideas were advanced and discussed. Among the pertinent REV.D.L.C [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit]. BUGENE J. WEAVER. ideas for accomplishing tangible good were plans to encourage the support of Kittrell college and interesting young people in getting the proper educational preparation for a life of service. One of the most enthusiastic Sunday school workers and superintendents is Mr. E. J. Weaver, the superintendent of this district. For a number of years he has superintended the Sunday school of St. Joseph's A. M. E. church in Durham, which is considered to be one of the largest and best organized schools in the race. He is peculiarly adapted to the work and is one of the leading business men of Durham. He is at the head of the American Life and Benefit company and a large real estate owner. Mr. Weaver, with his excellent corps of Sunday workers, is determined to make this district the most efficient in the connection. Activity of Institute Graduates. The following item concerning the activities of some of the graduates of the West Virginia Colored institute is interesting. One is teaching in Fisk university, one in Wilberforce, one in Oklahoma, three in Lawrenceville, Va.; one in the National Training school, Durham, N. C.; one bookkeeper at Norfolk, Va.; one plasterer at Portsmouth, Va.; one stenographer at Knoxville, Tenn.; one doing demonstration work under the United States government in Missisippi, and one died at his post as a blacksmith 2,000 miles up the Nile river, in Africa. Officials of Strong Moral Courage. Officials of Strong Moral Courage. With Judge Cotteral ruling against the "grandfather" clause in the Oklahoma constitution, having for its object the disfranchisement of colored citizens, and Judge Emory Speer of the United States district court for Georgia rebuking an attorney at the bar of justice for using the term "migger" in reference to colored plaintiffs while addressing the court, it seems that many good white officials in the south have tired of argument with race prejudice as a text instead of facts according to law. There should be no substitute for proper designation of the racial identity of citizens. REV.D.L.COSBY'S GREAT WORK WIELDS POTENT INFLUENCE. Former State Missionary For Virginia and What He Has Achieved In the North as Peacemaker, Organizer and Leader Under Difficult Circumstances In Church Life. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Providence, R. I.—Among the many able and professional divines of southern birth and education now holding pastoral charges in the north the Rev. Dr. David L. Cosby, pastor of the Olney Street Baptist church, in Providence, is entitled to a place in the front line. His work in New England ranks him as a great organizer and builder, a fearless leader and champion of righteousness. Dr. Cosby served as state missionary for the American Baptist Publication society in Virginia seven years before coming north in 1903. Dr. Cosby's first northern call was to the Mount Olivet Baptist church, Newport, R. I. He found the church in very poor condition as the result of PETER J. HARRIS REV. DR. DAVID L. COSBY. bad leadership. The membership was both divided and scattered. There was a floating debt of possibly $900 and also a mortgage debt of considerable size to be paid. After getting a goodly number of the officials and members together Dr. Cosby proceeded to lay plans for the liquidation of these debts. The members soon became active again. The floating debt was soon paid and the mortgage reduced by $250. During Rev. Cosby's ministry of nearly three years in Newport his influence for good was largely felt along all lines for the uplift of the people. Mount Olivet church took on new life and there were many additions to the membership. Rev. Dr. Cosby also pastored successfully the Calvary Baptist church, Haverhill, Mass. Here he found conditions similar to those existing in the church at Newport. Within a short time, however, Dr. Cosby had things straightened out, and nearly all the members renewed their church affiliation. The Olney Street Baptist church was found to be in worse condition than any which this diplomatic young preacher had yet come in contact with. There were many serious problems to be dealt with. There was not only a division among the members, but the doors of the edifice were locked and the keys in the hands of the city court. But locks and bars were not sufficient to discourage Dr. Cosby, for he had become well acquainted with the ungodly ways of church disturbers. He conferred with those whom the law recognized as the rightful possessors of the church property as a religious body, and within two weeks the doors were opened and a new regime inaugurated. Briefly summarized, Rev. Dr. Cosby's work as pastor of the Olney Street Baptist church reads thus: Rights of members of the church to the use of their property, the church restored to full fellowship with and in the New England Baptist missionary convention, the Rhode Island Baptist convention and the Warren Baptist association. Peace reigns in the church and the people are appreciating the great sacrifice which Dr. Cosby is still making to help them. Rev. Dr. John Hurst For Bishop. Rev. Dr. John Hurst, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church, is prominently mentioned in connection with the bishopric. He is a graduate of Wilberforce university and for the past sixteen years has been one of the most prominent members of the Baltimore conference. During the three years he has been in charge of the financial department he has made hosts of friends.
