Hear the Race's Best Band Wednesday at East Turner Bruce Grit Gives Facts About Africa Twenty-Third Year THE AMERICAN NEGRO IS NOT WANTED IN AFRICA. I have received the following letter from a correspondent in South Africa, Mr. F. Z. S. Peregrino, representative at Cape Town of King Lewanika of the Barotse. It may be of interest to readers of the Statesman: My Dear Bruce * * * There is an element in the United States of America, well meaning but utterly wrong, who are engaged in the advocacy of the American Negro's exodus to Africa, because forsooth Africa is the ancestral home of the Negro, where he will work out his salvation, where he will be able to sit under his own vine and fig tree, none daring to make him afraid. This is a beautiful theory, an attractive and enchanting picture and one worthy of a niche in the gallery of fancy. Disillusion gaunt and hideous awaits he who embarks for South Africa inspired by this picture. A Condition. Not a Theory. A Condition, Not a Theory. I challenge the contradiction of the assertion that the worst hated man who sets his foot on South African soil today is the man from America who "wears the shadowed livery of the burnished sun" and is soon spotted by his tongue. Naw, I go further, this hatred is by no means confined to the American Negro. There is a phrase or term here which is known as the "Seakafr." This applies to all black men who have crossed the briny or who hail from over sea, the states, West Indies, West Africa, anywhere, and "tell it not in Goth," and no tongue rolls it over more glibly than does that of that indescribable variety of the genus homo known as the "Cape boy." Now, my dear Bruce, the specimen is neither flesh, fish nor decent red herring, is hated by his unnatural parent, usually the male side of the house, and for his assumption of superior airs, is equally damned by the black man to whom he is relegated, but who is not of him, and to whose burdens he adds. This mixed multitude are always referred to contemptuously as "boys" only when the variation of bastard is employed. Think of a man proudly claiming in court on the enquiry being made as to his ethnic classification, "I am a bastard!" and I have beard such boasts. The sexagenarian, the septagenarian, the octogenarian and the centenarian are each a "boy"—just boy who never attain to manhood. I remember during my earlier years in America finding it necessary to pay some attention to a brood who constituted the blue vein society 0. one of our Western cities, a thing which I believe and hope is now dead. The South African variety is not just mulatto or quadroon. A careful analysis of the creature will reveal the presence in its veins of the blood of the Mongolian, Tartar, Caucasian, Negro, etc., an heterogeneous and unassimilable mass, each contending for mastery and resulting in the production of an ignorant, prescriptuous and hideous caricature of man. A Strange Trinity. The man from oversea who wears a black face has often not alone to contend against the white man nor to submit to the annoyance of the creature just described, but frequently in contact with the South African black man. South Africa is after all in point of population, civilized (socalled), is a small one, and one educated black man from America, especially if he comes in the garb of religion and is gib of tongue and unconscious withal, such a man can do an incalculable amount of harm if disposed to evil courses. We have had such a man here who, coming as the representative of a great church, proved an incorrigible rogue and went in and out among the natives, robbing right and left, while praying fervently with his victims, and who succeeded in getting away just in time to avoid being incarcerated in a South African prison for black folk. And whew, what a time he would have had. Now the white man makes good use of such exam- ples to incite hatred and suspicion in the breast of the South African black man against the "Seakafr and the case referred to has been worked for all it is worth. The antipathy of the mixed multitude springs purely and simply from jealousy, cross jealousy, Abused, spurned and contemptuously treated by his father, he sees in the superior man from over sea, a great contrast to himself in bearing, manners, culture, etc., and is mad thereat. Now the third enemy of the oversea man is the white man, and he is the most formidable one. With him the ignorant, ill clad, subservient black man is the proper thing and he looks with some alarm at the idea of this strange mixing with and enlightening his dupes, lest the dupes thus be permitted to taste of the fruit he, the white man, interposes a flaming sword at the barriers. I shall forward by the next mail another chapter on this subject, with the citation of practical examples. Mafeking, South Africa, Nov. 22, 1911. P. S.—I had an afternoon last week with Lord Gladstone on the black peril and other troubles, of which you will be duly informed. SUCCESS OF STATE FAIRS. Evidences of Progress Seen In South Carolina and Georgia. The state fairs held in Batesburg and Columbia, S C., and the one held in Macon, Ga., have been remarkable successes when the interest of the people in all sections of both states is taken into consideration. The fair at Batesburg under the management of Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia, who has made the state colored fairs of South Carolina unprecedented successes, and the recent state fair under the presidency of Mr. Sawyer were strong attractions for the progressive Afro-Americans from every section of the Palmetto State. The farmers in South Carolina and Georgia take pride in sending exhibits to these fairs, and their various exhibits and live stock are favorably commented upon by the white visitors to the fairs. Another phase of these fairs is the exhibits of successful and conservative financial movements of the race in these respective states. Our people will continue to succeed as long as they work together and have confidence in each other. Who would have thought forty years ago that the Negro would have his own banks and a great insurance company like the North Carolina Mutual Provident association of Durham, N. C., with nearly enough employees to raise a regiment? The daily press of Georgia and South Carolina commented at length on the rise of such organizations to places among the safest in the country. Among the leading businessmen who held exhibits at the different fairs were Mr. John Merrick, Mr. C. C. Spaulding, Dr. A. M. Moore and Mr. J. H. Garner. Evidences of race progress were seen in a convincing manner at all of the departments of industry represented by both farmers and mechanics. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our darling baby, Loraine Agatha Carter, who died Jan. 11, 1911. Loving parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W Carter.

The Editor, Denver Times, Denver, Colorado. Sometime ago one of your representatives called on us soliciting subscriptions for the Times. We explained that we were subscribers to the Denver Post and therefore read the Rocky Mountain News through that medium. He still insisted, stating that the Times was much breezier than the Post, and of course, we subscribed just to get rid of him quick. Hence our introduction to the Denver Times. You will please discontinue at once the Times to us, for the following explicit reason: On page 6, column 3, publication dated January 3, 1912, appears an article bearing this caption: "Johnson Agrees to Fight Flynn." Now dear siris, Jack Johnson, the acknowledged heavyweight champion prize fighter of the world, won that renowned title fair and square at Reno, July 4, 1910. He is our friend and brother by nature, and you in the article referred to above referred to him repeatedly as "the big smoke," "the black," "the big cinder," and such foolish things, all of which we take exceptions to. We consider this article a direct insult to Mr. Johnson and his legion of friends, and for no other reason than that he is a colored man and a gentleman. It is true, the title he holds, and deservedly so, is much coveted, and a "white hope" seems to be in oblivion at present, still why not give a fellow a "square deal." The article is an insinuation to us and we refute in strongest terms anything that has a tendency to reflect upon our constitutional and social privileges. We want the paper stopped at once. We want our library table to contain only reading matter that we can enjoy. Do you blame us? Sincerely yours, TROOP "K," 9th CAVALRY. Per P. L. SIKES. Corpl.

MARCHBANKS, OLD PIONEER IN COLORADO, DEAD. The many friends of Finley Marchbanks were shocked to hear of his death which occurred in Pueblo Dec. 31, after a brief illness. He was an old pioneer in Colorado and had scores of friends, won by his honest and upright habits and integrity. For the past quarter of a century he has been a highly respected citizen of Ouray. He left a wife, two daughters, Geraldine, associate editor of Colorado Times of Pueblo for the past four years, and Aldine, stenographer for the Southern Land Development Co. of Pueblo, and one young son 12 years old, a sister, Mrs. Mattie Marshall, in Pueblo, and Mrs. M. Officer of Tenn. Mr. and Mrs. Marchbanks had come to Pueblo to spend the winter when death interfered. Many friends extend sympathy. LEADVILLE NOTES Within the last two weeks two of our number, Daniel Kyles and Harvey Robinson, have died. Mrs. F. A. White left this week for Chicago to visit her mother. Mr. Harvey Saunders, after an extended trip throughout Kansas, has returned home and resumed his business at the old stand. Mr. Morgan Robinson has given up his employment in the Carbonate National bank. He and his wife have left Leadville to reside in Denver. In commemoration of a recent important event, we are about to stage a drama entitled "The Abdication of King Menelik and Queen Sheba." Miss Mary Davis has the prerequisites of an accomplished musician. In a recital given at the Easum Conservatory of Music last Friday, she demonstrated her musical ability, which brought forth great applause. Rev. J. S. Smith has been appointed a general missionary of the Colorado conference of the A. M. E. church. He will temporarily assume charge of the work here. It is reported that Miss H. Jones is rapidly advancing in her high school studies and is well up on the list for graduation. May success crown her every effort.

Music at the horse show next week will be furnished by two bands, the home and that of the Ninth Cavalry. This latter musical organization is the pride of the regiment, the pride of the army and of the race. At the grand maneuvers at San Antonio it was accorded the premier place even by the southern papers. Army officials have given it every palm and it is acknowledged to be the greatest regimental band in the United States army, next in place to the celebrated Marine band of Washington. Denver people will be given a chance to hear this peerless organization in a grand concert and be privileged to dance by their music at East Turner hall on next Wednesday night. It will bring to Denver for this purpose its full equipment with which it has charmed the people of many cities and won its reputation. The latest music, the most difficult music are all in its repertoire. Special arrangements have been made for the centing of the audience so that those who do not wish to participate in the dancing can have a full evening of enjoyment in the listening. This concert has been under advisement for the Auditorium and the officials of the Stock Show were going to have it there, but since such an event would run counter to the attraction of the horse show itself, it has been decided to give to colored people the fullest opportunity to enjoy the work of their own artists, and the proceeds will go to the band itself. CUPID'S DARTS. Cupid is a most resourceful chap. On Monday he made two hearts beat as one when he united the hands, hearts and fortunes of Miss Lulu Willliams of this city and Charles R. Hickman of Troop C, Ninth Cavalry. They were both down here from Cheyenne on a visit, she to her mother and brothers and sisters, he to see the sights. The little god with the sharp arrows could see to shoot better here than at Cheyenne and he pierced them both. So on Monday, in the presence of their immediate friends, at the home of the bride's mother at 1946 Pearl street, they plighted their troth and made true the prophecy of their friends who said the two streams of life would finally mingle their waters in the great ocean of love. After Jan. 20, Mr. and Mrs. Hickman will be at home to their friends in Cheyenne. Both contracting parties are the recipients of the gifts and well wishes of a wide circle of friends.

E. church, of which Mrs. Octave Dishman has been instructor for several years, is preparing to give her a testimonial Feb. 7 at the church. This recognition of the services of their instructor will be really her introduction into the broader world of song. Mrs. Dishman has long enjoyed a reputation that is more than local, and in this year she undertakes more ambitious roles which she bids fair to carry off with honors, according to critics no less renowned and reliable than Madam Hackley. Denver people will have an opportunity to hear for themselves on Feb. 7 how far she has climbed on the ladder of success since her last appearance some time since. FIVE CENTS A COPY ONAL MENTION Personal Mention on Pages Two, and Five NOTES FROM ZION. Zion and Shorter have begun a joint soul-winning campaign under Dr. W. H. Tillman, Wichita, Kansas. The meetings will continue at Zion till Sunday, Jan. 21st, and at Shorter Jan. 22nd to Feb. 2nd. Dr. Tillman is a preacher of great power. All should hear him. Preaching begins at 8:00. Last week the officers of Zion made a most excellent report closing the year 1911. There has been progress made in every department of the church work; 103 members have been added to the roll and the treasurer's report showed receipts of more than $6500.00, with a cash balance of over $1,500.00. More than $500.00 was raised for missions. The Sunday school rally added more than 100 new members to the roll. Plans are being made to continue the rally to Easter. The young people of Zion have added to their church equipment a high power stereopticon to be used in Bible study work. There will be a series of free lectures given by the pastor on Bible peoples, Bible lands, missionary tours and other subjects of Thirty-five photographic views of Palestine were used in the Sunday school Sunday morning, to the delight of all present. SHORTER CHAPEL NOTES The church was never in greater need for a revival than now. Every one should feel the need of a refreshing from the presence of the Lord. In view of this fact the church and congregation will unite with Zion Baptist church in a series of meetings which are now in progress at Zion church. After two weeks' meetings there, the forces of the two churches will come to Shorter and battle for Christ and the church for two weeks. Let there be a united effort with an unbroken front for the success of these meetings. All weekly meetings are hereby suspended until this religious campaign closes. Sunday Services. Preaching by the pastor at 11 a. m and 7:30 p. m. Sunday school, 10 a. m. Allen C. E. League, 6:30 p. m. Special efforts will be made in the Sunday school looking to the saving of the children.

Harrison, our pastor at LaFayette, Ala., will preach Sunday morning. Rev. Harrison is visiting his relatives, who live in this city. Do not fail to hear him. He is a speaker of great power. He is one of Gammon's sons, having graduated from this famous institution in 1905. Mrs. Dora E. Waliace, accompanied by the children, will leave for Selma, Ala., Tuesday. She will visit her parents, sisters and brothers and a host of friends in her home town. The rally will continue until all members of the church have been reached. The clubs will report from time to time. We urge all loyal members to pay their assessment. Quite a few debts were taken care of from the recent effort. The Epworth Herald issued a special emancipation number December 30th. It showed the progress of the race through the Epworth League. Dr. Penn contributed largely to this number. It is filled with photographs of prominent young people engaged in Epworth League work. Our own brother J. D. Rice is quoted from a letter written about the Epworth League in Clark University and Gammon. Mr. Rice is the president of this great league, which has 175 members. The following persons connected themselves with Scotts last Sunday: Mrs. Emma Gallimore, Mrs. M. J. Kirkpatrick and Mrs. Eva Jackson. We are praying for a revival. Let every member help to bring about this desired spiritual meeting. We wish to thank the captains who worked so faithfully to bring up their assessments during the late financial campaign. Let the other captains who have not made their final report speak out in the meeting and let us know what they have done. Mrs. Ada Castry, the energetic president of the Epworth League, banqueted the League Thursday evening. The young people went away with happy hearts. The repast was sumptuous. The following officers were elected: First vice president, Mrs. Claudie Pash; second vice president, Miss Esther Raglen; third vice president, Mrs. Williams; fourth vice president, Miss Lela Rice; secretary, Miss Florstein Dooley; treasurer, Mrs. Anna Rice; librarian, Mrs. Mallory. The installation of the newly elected officers will be held Thursday evening. Mrs. Claudie Pash will entertain the league at this time. Do not forget that Club No. 1 will continue its widows' and widowers' Leap Year entertainment on the 15th. At this time the prize will be awarded, the handsome prize now on exhibition in the parsonage window. Club No. I led in raising money for the rally. Mrs. Anna B.

SOME FEATURES OF THE WORK Ambitious Young College Student Devotes Vacation Period to Securing Data Concerning the Achievements of His Race In Thriffy Georgia Town. Publication Covers Wide Scope. Savannah.—Whittier H. Wright, son of Major R. R. Wright, president of the Georgia State college, who is a student in one of the leading northern universities, spent his vacation in Savannah, Ga., last year, and as a result only recently there came from the press a very creditable booklet compiled by Mr. Wright giving interesting data concerning the business, social, religious and philanthropic activities of the colored people in Savannah, under the title of the Savannah Colored Directory. The book contains eighty-eight pages and gives a description of the city, some of its history, government officials, statistics of schools and churches, sketches of prominent colored citizens engaged in business, a list of property owners, together with pictures of prominent persons and buildings. There are four colored public schools, having forty-three teachers and 2,420 pupils enrolled. Less than half of the colored children of school age are in school. There are thirty-eight Baptist churches, six African Methodist Episcopal, four Methodist Episcopal, three Roman Catholic, three Episcopal and one each of Congregational, C. M. E. and Presbyterian churches. The first church established in Savannah was the First Baptist church in 1788. The Second Baptist church was established in 1802. Savannah has two colored city physicians, who treated last year 10,034 patients. The J. C. WHITTIER H. WRIGHT. death rate among colored people is higher than that among whites. Three hundred and thirty-two colored business men are listed. They are engaged in forty-six different kinds of business. The largest number of persons are in the barbering business—seventy-five in number. There are four lawyers, eleven physicians, two dentists, two banks, five industrial insurance companies, one theater, one hotel, one livery stable, two real estate dealers, two newspapers, one drug store, one laundry and 713 owners of real estate. In the preface Mr. Wright in well chosen words states the purpose of the book as follows: "The purpose of this handbook is to present in systematic but concise form the most important facts concerning the colored population of Savannah. Because of the continuous growth of the city and its colored population it is not now possible for even a small minority of the members of the race in question—to say nothing of the citizens as a whole—to know of what is being done by the colored people of Savannah. "The progress of our race in business, in home owning, in our churches and social life is such that it is difficult for even one who gives his whole time to the subject to keep his information up to date, for not a week passes but a new business is opened, a new home bought and some new evidence of progress shows itself." It is Mr. Wright's intention to make a record of the facts concerning the social and business development of the colored population of Savannah biennially, although the compiler has endeavored to cover the field thoroughly. Changes occur so rapidly, however, that absolute accuracy is impossible. The hundreds of people approached practically as one commended the idea of a Savannah colored directory, and because of the interest so liberally shown by them no pains or expense in making the book appropriate as a souvenir and handy for reference was spared. Paintings by Two Eminent Artists. Among the costly paintings by colored men in the Louvre, in Paris, is one by Henry O. Tanner of the United States and another by a Mr. White of Cuba. Of the two great painters Mr. Tanner is the most widely known, but White's picture was hung in the Louvre long before Tanner won recognition. MRS. D. L. JONES OF HOT SPRINGS, ARK.

BREAKS THIRTY YEAR RECORD Thrifty and Influential Body of Christian Workers Becomes Self Supporting and Enlarges Scope of Congregation For Industrial Pursuits—Memorial Erected For Bishop Dudley. Louisville, Ky.—The recent improvements to the interior of the Church of Our Merciful Saviour, Protestant Episcopal, of this city, which include a churchly scheme of beautiful decorations and the proposed insailing of a new pipe organ, indicate with forcible language something of the commendable achievements of the Rev. D. Le Roy Ferguson, rector, and his progressive congregation during the past six years. Coming to the congregation of the Church of Our Merciful Saviour at the beginning of his ministry, Rector Ferguson attained his first notable act by making his church, which for over thirty years was a dependent mission, a self supporting parish. This venture of faith was a success, and today the Church of Our Merciful Saviour is one of the few established self supporting Episcopal churches in the United States. Desiring to extend his work and enlarge the influence of the church, Rector Ferguson and congregation undertook to annex an institutional plant—in other words, to erect a parish house. This was accomplished last year through the generous response of interested patrons, and as if by magic there was called into being the Bishop Dudley memorial. This building, a two and one-half story brick, costing in completed form $12,000, is a fitting and lasting memorial to the late Bish- P. S. S. op Thomas U. Dudley, favorably known to Episcopalians and the people generally as a great friend of the colored people. The Bishop Dudley memorial is one of the most complete parish houses in the country, providing in its scope of features social and industrial advantages. The men's club and gymnasium, with baths, provide suitable opportunities for exercise; the lecture hall, with moving pictures and rooms for sewing, cooking, music and millinery, is an earnest of good work to be accomplished along these lines. The congregation of this church includes a number of influential citizens of the best families in the professional and business life of the city. The importance of this congregation has increased immeasurably during the ministry of Rector Ferguson. Though being a young priest, close to the age of thirty, Rev. Ferguson has achieved distinction and has been applauded throughout the country for his intrepid stand against Bishop Brown's utterances upon the race question while in Arkansas. He gave up his office and position there, accepting poverty rather than live and work under a man with such convictions. As a reward for merit last year the Episcopal Theological seminary of Cambridge, Mass., conferred upon Rector Ferguson the bachelor's degree. ARCHITECT. C. W. Wiggington, 12 Union Blk., Omaha, Nebr.

THE ALLIANCE NOTES AND COM MENTS. The celebration of the forty-ninth anniversary of the emancipation of the American Negro, which took place under the auspices of the People's Sunday Alliance at their regular time and place of meeting, was highly satisfactory. The numbers on the program were well prepared, delivered with forcefulness and received with appreciation. Attorney A. W. Lewis, first vice president of the Alliance, presided. His introductory remarks as to the occasion and the fitness of the celebration by the People's Sunday Alliance, were timely, well thought out and well delivered. He presided generally with tact and judgment. Mr. Lewis' willingness to serve seems to indicate to the people of this community that a real live and efficient worker has been added to Denver by his presence. Current literature appropriate to the occasion was read from the Crisis and the Rocky Mountain News, as well as attention being called to other current matters of importance. Mrs. Isabel Stewart read the Emancipation Proclamation intelligently and with the effectiveness that her long public experience led us to expect of her. The violin selection by Prof. Robert H. Lee, a musician recently come to Denver, needed to be heard to be appreciated. Mrs] Helen Wixson, state superintendent of public instruction, who spoke, touching upon the life of Wendall Phillips, delivered her speech in sympathetic appreciation of the occasion. Her remarks were studded here and there with personal references, not of that nauseating, "black mamy" variety, but the kind that indicates real humanitarian feeling and genuine friendship. Mrs. Laura Hill's introduction of Mrs. Wixson placed womanhood upon the highest pinacle from which, if his satanic majesty can by any means get her to cast herself down "Great will be the fall." The address of Rev. David E. Over added real color to the occasion and while his "Look into the Future" may not have agreed with the forecast of all of the sons and daughters of prophet who were present, yet we are all bound to concede that he is a man who loves his race and is seeking to serve them; also we must admit the logic of his conclusions. On the whole, the occasion was profitable and we enter our fiftieth year of freedom with a desire to make it the best of all. The Alliance desires to announce that among other things which it has in store for the people is a joint debate between two of our well known citizens, the one a practical man and a diplomat, the other an idealist and a fighter. It will be a real treat to see them lock horns, for as speakers they are both interesting, the one fluent and with a keen sense of fitness for the occasion, the other forceful and tenacious, regardless of results of his words. Feb. 4th is the date for this occasion; don't miss it. On Jan. 28th will occur the reading of the fourth paper in the Historical Research series, with music and other literary features. All of the regular meetings of the Alliance are held at 2630 Welton street, on the first and last Sundays of each month at 4 p.m. They are the people's meetings and you are expected to be present. Better than the Filipino band, better than the Hawaiian band, better than any band Denver has been privileged to hear, is the Ninth Cavalry band, champion regimental band of the United States army.

COAL $4.00 After an illness extending since Thanksgiving, John Talbert died Thursday of asthma. He was an old resident of Colorado. His son came to the city from Topeka and spent his last days with him. The funeral will occur on Sunday. He will be remembered as a kindly man, young in appearance though old in years. The Odd Fellows of Rocky Mountain lodge attended the funeral of their brother, Jas. Wilson, in a body. The funeral service was conducted by the Douglass undertakers from their parlors. The services were conducted entirely by the Odd Fellows, closed at the interment in Riverside. No news has come as yet of the deceased's relatives. Mrs. B. J. Hudson, of 711 East Seventh avenue, is indisposed this week. T. P. Yochum and family are making their home at 2922 Glenarm place. Mrs. Saul Herndon after a considerable illness is improving.

The Young Men's Christian Association held its annual installation meeting last Sunday at Shorter chapel. The following officers, who were elected for the year, were installed at this meeting: Dr. DeFrantz, president.

Beginning Sunday, Jan. 14, 1912, at 3:30 p. m., the meetings will be held at Zion Baptist church. You will miss a great treat if you miss this meeting Sunday afternoon. How many young men have we who will prove they believe in doing things? We want to have a good heart to heart talk and understand more fully what our needs must be. We also have with us Miss Vera Ward, who is most ably assisting us at the piano. Patrick will be there and he is desirous of seeing every young man in Denver at this meeting on Sunday at 3:30 sharp.

To warn people of a fearful forest fire in the Catskills a young girl rode horseback at midnight and saved many lives. Her deed was glorious but lives are often saved by Dr. King's New Discovery in curing lung trouble, coughs and colds, which have ended in consumption or pneumonia. "It cured me of a dreadful cough and lung disease," writes W. R. Patterson, Wellington, Texas, "after four in our family had died with consumption, and I gained 87 pounds" Nothing so sure and safe for all throat and lung troubles. Price 50c and $1.00.

MANAGER DENVER, COLO Denver, Colo. THE STATESMAN—6 AUTHOR OF RARE BOOK OF POEMS Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford Makes Her Bow as Songster. PURPOSE OF THE BROCHURE. Inspired by the Triumphs and Struggles of Her People, the Well Known Educator, Lecturer and Clubwoman Tells of Their Aspirations In Race Rhymes. Washington.—No one can read "Race Rhymes," a neatly got up and attractive pamphlet of twenty-eight pages containing about sixteen poems, by Carrie W. Clifford, without coming to the conclusion that the colored woman is taking up her part of the race's struggle for fair play with as much enthusiasm and loyalty as could be expected from the women of any race engaged in a similar contest. From the first page to the last there is in this little booklet an underlying A. E. H. current of race loyalty and race devotion. The standard set is very high and noble and inspiring. "To My Mother," which is the dedication poem, gives a splendid idea of the high tone of the poems. The first verse runs as follows: Mother, mother, how I loved thee! The real purpose of these poems is very clearly set forth by the author in her foreword. She says: In giving to the world this brochure the author makes no claim to unusual poetic excellence or literary brilliance. She is seeking to call attention to a condition which she at least considers serious. Knowing that this may often be done more impressively through rhyme than in an elegant prose dissertation, she has taken this method of accomplishing the end sought. Each poem has been called forth by some significant event or condition in the history of the Negro in America. The theme of the group here present ed—the uplift of humanity—is the loftiest that can animate the heart and pen of man; the treatment, she trusts, is not wholly unworthy. Remembering the good that has been accomplished by such familiar poems as "The Prisoner For Debt," "The Song of the Shirt," and similar ones, she sends these lines forth with the prayer that they may change some evil heart, right some wrong and raise some arm strong to deliver. A perusal of the contents of the booklet bears witness to the fact that "each poem has been called forth by some significant event or condition in the history of the Negro in America." The titles of the poem are "America," "Reply to Thomas Dixon," "Atlanta's Shame," "The Jimcrow Car," "Shall We Fight the Jimcrow Car?" "To Paul Laurence Dunbar," "Lines to Garrison," "Foraker and the Twenty-fifth." "The Colored Graduate," "Duty's Call," "Marching to Conquest," "My Baby," "Character or Color—Which?" "The Dreamer" and "We'll Die For Liberty." "Race Rhymes" is characteristically a race book. Not only were the contents written by a member of the race, but the book was printed, bound and finished in a printing office owned by a colored man and operated by colored printers. The book is attractive in appearance and will make a valuable addition to one's library. Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford, the author, is one of the leading clubwomen of this country. She was the first president of the Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Ohio, being one of the founders of the club movement in that state. As a lecturer Mrs. Clifford stands in the front rank, her subjects covering topics of deep race interest and importance. A few years ago Mrs. Clifford changed her residence from Cleveland, O., to Washington, her husband, Hon. W. H. Clifford, who had been a member of the Ohio legislature from a Cleveland district, having received an appointment to a lucrative federal position in the Capital City. Since residing here Mrs. Clifford has taken part in club work as actively as she did in her native state. She is prominently identified with the W. C. T. U., has served as secretary of the Bethel Literary and Historical society and is prominently identified with the club movements in general in Washington.

The Twentieth Century Art club met last week at the residence of Mrs. C. H. Winters and the next meeting will be with Mrs. Leona Barbee of 142 West Byers street, Jan. 19. Josh Holbert, a building laborer who died last week, will be buried Saturday at 2 p. m. from Undertaker Lawhorn's parlors. Mrs. A. E. Holly goes to Cheyenne next week to visit her daughter Cora. The Zion Mission Circle met with Mrs. Jessie Taylor Thursday afternoon and elected officers. Those chosen were: Mrs. L. M. Froman, president; Mrs. J. J. Bates, vice president; Mrs. F. Payne, secretary; Mrs. Agnes Lewis, treasurer. Mrs. Riley, the retiring treasurer, made a report that was excellent, showing the society to be in good condition. There will be a reunion of all True Reformers and ex-True Reformers, with a program and free refreshments, at 2630 Welton street, Monday, Jan. 22. News has come from Cheyenne of the death of D. E. Henry of consumption, after a short illness. His remains will be brought to Denver for burial, which will take place under the auspices of Damon Lodge of the Knights of Pythias. Frank Burnley, the genial manager of the Railroad Men and Waiters' club at 2149 Curtis street, is all smiles these days. It seems that he has recently carried off the prize in solo, the game that made Telluride famous. In the meanwhile the others who play the game say they are going to make a dent in the frame of the "champeen" so that the club is busy with the training preparations of the various players. Mrs. Reed, accompanied by her daughter, is visiting here from Oklahoma, the guest of her niece, Mrs. Eva Tompkins. Mrs. Mayfield of Marion street is indisposed. There was a union missionary meeting at Shorter church on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. W. T. Vaughn continues to improve and is about well. The infant of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. McCaime is ill. Mrs. Gentry has a very sick child. Miss Lena Barnes, who is now in Cheyenne, is expected down next week. A special troop of riders will participate in the horse show, being men picked from the Ninth Cavalry to show what they learn in the army. Mrs. Nora Fairbanks goes to Chicago next week on business connected with the inheritance of her son Victor. The first days of the honeymoon of Miss Annabelle Cooper and Mr. Walter Ewing, who were made one by Rev. Over at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Gatewood recently, was made happy by the thoughtful consideration of their friends. They received a number of beautiful presents from the guests present at the wedding, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Porter, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Jackson, Mrs. M. L. Elliston, Mrs. Gertrude Burns, Mrs. Frank Payne, Mrs. Ella Burnley, Mrs. Susie Lampkin, Mrs. Carrie Snelling, Mrs. Maggie Adams, Mrs. Lillie Eldridge, Mrs. Blanche Lee, Mrs. Daisy Gentry, Miss Bertha Bergeon, Miss Jennie Smith, Miss Alberta Johnson. Then they were accorded a surprise by the ladies of the Truth Seekers class of Zion church which of itself was a treat. The young folks, who are just making a start out on the matrimonial sea, are profoundly grateful to the friends who have done so much to make their beginning auspicious. At the home of Mrs. M. E. Mackey on Thursday evening the Sunshine club made their sympathy with Mrs. Jas. Holly, who is recently bereaved, the more marked by the gift of a beautiful mourning veil. The sunshine which the club is trying to bring to the widow in the time of sorrow is typical of the club's efforts. Mrs. Holly has been made to feel by every one the high esteem in which she and her husband have been held. He was a man of long residence in Denver, of industrious nabits, of kindness and character. His tragic death reflected his unselfish life and now the hands of friends are outstretched to solace the widow. Victor Walker is able to be out again, after an illness of several days. Mrs. Esther Morris suffered a severe blow on the head when she slipped on the ice last week. Persons interested in basket ball will meet at Zion church on Sunday, immediately after the Y. M. C. B. meeting. PROMPT PAYMENT. Denver, Colo., Jan. 10, 1912. Western Life & Accident Co. Gentlemen: I wish to thank you for your prompt payment of my claim for sickness. Denver, Colo., Jan. 10, 1912. Western Life & Accident Co. Gentlemen; I received your check for my sick benefits. I thank you for your prompt and satisfactory settlement. Very truly yours, MRS. MAMIE HAWKINS. 2234 Lawrence St. Mr. and Mrs. Machael Thomas have received the sad news of the death of their son Augustus in Kansas City. Three telegrams came, reporting him worse and worse, in six hours. While details are lacking, the presumption is that he caught cold while preaching and died of pneumonia. He was of evangelistic turn and followed the Cross, preaching the gospel wherever he was. He died as he lived. His remains are being brought home and his funeral will take place tomorrow from Central Baptist church, of which his parents are members, and interment will be in this city. The services will be at 2 p. m. The family has the sincere sympathy of the whole city. As announced in the Statesman two weeks ago, there has been extended to Rev. W. C. Williams an invitation to the pastorate of the leading church of the A. M. E. church of Montgomery, Alabama. He has been again importuned to agree to accept. Dancers will have the treat of their lives at East Turner when that magnificent orchestra strikes up Wednesday at East Turner. Special floor managers to keep the floor free for the dancers. FOREIGN MISSION WORKERS. Return to Their Respective Fields With Hearty Benedictions. Much credit is due the Rev. Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of the national Baptist foreign mission board, for the able manner in which he conducted the recent farewell meetings in honor of the Rev. S. A. Richardson, returning missionary to his field in Albonystown, South America, and the Rev. George E. Stewart, who goes to the West Indies. Meetings were held in most of the principal cities from Louisville, Ky., where the missionary headquarters are, en route to New York. In Philadelphia the meeting was held at the Shiloh Baptist church under the auspices of the Baptist ministers' conference. Speaking on the subject the "Case Stated," Rev. Dr. C. H. Parrish of Louisville delivered a forceful and instructive address on the condition of the foreign mission work of the denomination. Other speakers were corresponding secretary, L. G. Jordan, and the Rev. Dr. John H. Frank, whose subject was, "And Now Finally Brethren." The people responded liberally to the appeal for funds with which to defray the missionaries' passage. The sum of $260 was raised within a few minutes. New York was the next objective point. The meeting was held at the Mount Olivet Baptist church, of which the Rev. W. P. Hayes is pastor. While the audience was not so large as the one in Philadelphia, nevertheless a snug sum was raised. The Abyssinian Baptist church. Dr. A. Clayton Powell pastor, gave $100 to the fund. Drs. Parish, Frank and Jordan, who came all the way from Louisville with the missionaries, were much gratified over the results of the trip and expressed sincere thanks to each of the churches for its liberality. CAPABLE NEWSPAPER MEN WHO ARE MAKING GOOD. George F. King Retained by Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News. Among the younger men who are making their mark as reporters, correspondents and special contributors to daily and weekly papers is George F. King, a native of Norfolk, Va. Mr. King is well known in most every section of the country. He is ambitious, persistent and capable and never loses an opportunity to make good in whatever territory to which he may be assigned for duty. As correspondent for a number of weekly papers Mr. King has reported many notable gatherings, such as conferences, conventions and annual meetings of secret and mutual benefit organizations. In the prompt performance of his duty in this respect he has won the reputation of being accurate, quick and concise in his statements, always getting his matter to the editor on time and in good shape. In the early part of 1911 Mr. King accompanied Judge Pritchard and Dr. James E. Shepard on their northern tour in the interest of the National Religious Training school, of which Dr. Shepard is the founder and president. As an evidence of Mr. King's ability and usefulness it is interesting to note that the management of the Greensboro (N. C.) Daily News has retained his services for another year as one of the special contributors to that influential journal. Being connected with the Associated Press, Mr. King contributes to a number of evening papers in various sections of the south. He maintains headquarters in Wilmington, N. C., as well as in Greensboro, as a matter of convenience. Other correspondents who are Mr. King's seniors in the business are Charles Stewart, Horace D. Slatter, R. W. Thompson and Franklin F. Johnson. The first two mentioned are Associated Press correspondents. Mr. Stewart (J. O. Midnight) is the dean of the able coterie. Each of them has made good. Young Selected For Liberian Post. Captain Charles Young of the Ninth United States cavalry, who has been stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, according to a current report has recently been selected by the war department for special duty in Liberia, for which post he will probably sail about the middle of January.
