Real Facts about the Suit for Wages
Twenty-Third Year Real Fact about the
When your maid leaves you in the lurch with company on your hands because she has other engagements; when sh. comes in too late to get your meals; when she sasses you and abuses you like a football," figuratively speaking, and when, to cap the climax, she quits you suddenly, before her time is up, and then, to put a little button on top of the cap of climax, sues you for wages which you honestly believe she didn't earn—when she does all this, it is not about time for the housewife to rebel?
In the opinion of Mrs. Alice H. Brownlee, 1680 Steele street, it is.
Mrs. Brownlee, who is a member of the Denver Woman's club and of the Woman's Press club, and is prominent in Denver society, was sued yesterday in Justice Thrush's court for $3.45 by Radah Dorrisey, Negress, who claims that Mrs. Brownlee owed her this amount when she quit about a month.
(The details of the disagreement between servant and mistress followed.)
Mr. Editor:
The above article together with the cut of Mrs. Brownlee appeared in the Times, Thursday, the 12th. I know that the article does Mrs. Dorsey an injustice and the interview was given to the paper evidently to injure not only Mr. Dorsey, but all other colored working girls who refuse to give up all of their rights to their employers. I was Mrs. Dorsey's attorney. I know the facts in the case; they were not as stated by Mrs. Brownlee. Mrs. Dorsey (a young widow) contracted to do the house work for Mrs. Brownlee, get her meals and care for five rooms for $20, and it was a part of the contract that Mrs. Dorsey could go out at any time, because of her health, that she desired. Everything went well and all was satisfactory till Mrs. Brownlee's daughter came to visit and brought a 12-year-old boy with her. She wanted Mrs. Dorsey to remain in at nights to take care of the boy while Mrs. Brownlee and daughter visited the parks and other places of amusement. This Mrs. Dorsey refused to do because it was not her contract, then she was pre-emptorially discharged; but an another girl, a white, had already been sent for to take Radah's place. When Mrs. Brownlee could not get the white girl to take Radah's place, she tried to have Radah remain until she could get a girl, but Radah told her that she had driven her away and that she wanted the balance of her wages, $4.35. The money was refused. Radah left and sued for her money. The suit was brought July 19 and for one reason or another the case was continued by Mrs. Brownlee.
This rich lady on the Hill delayed the time of the case and the purpose seems plain. I managed to force a trial and I got a judgment for Radah, for $4.35 and costs.
Mrs. Brownlee says she don't care for the money and she did not deny owing Radah but the principle is what she was contending for. No one but Mrs. Brownlee could see where the principle came in on her side of the case, unless it be that she believes that when a girl hires to work for her at $20 per month, she sells not only her services but sells, also, her soul and body and must be an abject slave.
Mrs. Brownlee says she wants some sort of a protective association to enable the women in time to become absolute mistress of their homes. I am inclined to the belief that she wants an association that will help her and those who believe as she does.
Mrs. Brownlee would have the public believe that hadad is an ignorant girl. The truth is that Radad is very intelligent, uses the choicest of English language and writes a beautiful hand and she dresses in the same fashions of her former employer. I think, Mr. Editor, what I have said should have been said so that your many readers, also, the servant girls may know the facts of Mrs. Brown-

END OF WEEK'S CELEBRATION
The Byron Troubadours, who were the attraction at three performances at the Auditorium Monday and Tuesday, under the auspices of the People's Presbyterian church, lived up to their advance notices. They are easily an attraction to music lovers, whatever musical instrument they prefer, for these versatile artists are virtuosos on them all. The rounds of applause which greeted them were impartial, but possibly those most applauded were Mr. Woods, the violinist, and Mr. Thompson, the baritone singer. Their costuming, their stage presence and their selections of music and instruments were such as would please. Each number deserved the attention of a critic, but it is sufficient to say that they are the best troupe of any that have come to this city, playing many instruments, and singing solos and choruses.
Weather conditions seriously interfered with the attendance. In fact after the first night when nearly a thousand were present, the crowds were small. However, their appearance here was financially successful due to the large sale of tickets in advance. The manager, Rev. Thos. Hazell is to be congratulated upon his success in handling so large an entertainment on such a scale successfully. It was a fitting close to a large week devoted to the celebrating of their reentry into their renovated home. The big church service was Sunday afternoon. Rev. Smith was the principal speaker while Rev. Over represented the other churches. Crowds poured into the building and admired it at the various services. Having accomplished so much of the foundation work, it is now the intention of the pastor and people to go forward for humanity's sake the more zealously and the more thoroughly.

It's utter folly for a man to endure a weak, run-down, half alive condition when Electric Bitters will put him right on his feet in short order. "Four any other medicine I ever took," writes Chas. B.

The drama "Engaged" drew a crowded house last Tuesday evening. Miss Smith sold 101 tickets, Miss Dorothy Lewis 103. Miss Dorothy Lewis was the winner of the first prize by a very narrow margin.

New York.—Professor C. B, Johnson,

al work and is well qualified other-
wise for the responsible position which
he holds.

of the late Professor J. H. Torbert
much will be expected of Mr. Johnson,
and from present indications he will
measure up to the most critical expec-
tations of those responsible for his ap:
pointment
By training, experience and manner
he is amply fitted for his new post and
will put into his work-a large experi-
ence which will make him a valuable
addition to fhe faculty of the Fort Val-
ley High and Industrial school. He
has the faculty of making and holding
friends, and his affable manners will
make his contact with the philanthro-
pists of the north both profitable and
impressive.
Like most men who have won their
spurs and who rise to eminence In any
particular field, Professor Johnson tells
a story of hard struggles in acquiring
his education. He was born in Green-
ville, S. C.. and was educated in the
public schools of the city under Pro-
fessor J.C. Martin. He walked a dis-
tance of ten miles each morning to
reach school, but he does not regret
this early experience. After finishing
the public schools, acting upon the ad-
vice of A. N. Robinson, one of his in-
structors, he entered Biddle untverst-
ty, from which he was graduated in
1897.
He was one of the most prominent
men in college aud took an active part
in college activities, Leaving Biddle,
he took up work in Harbison college,
in Abbeville, S. C., one of the strong-
est of the Presbyterian schools in that
section. For fifteen years he remained
a member of the faculty, during which
time he gathered a large and ripe ex-
perience.
His reputation as an effielent and
capable teacher soon reached other
parts, and when Professor Hunt, who
formerly taught him at Biddle, but
now the principal of the Fort Valley
High and Industrial school, was seek
ing for some one to represent the finan-
cial work of the school he immediately
sought the services of Professor John-
son. ‘he promotion of Professor John-
son to his new field meets the approval
of the large number of his friends
in educational circles throughout the
south.
He has tong been prominent in edu
cational circles of the south, and his
opinions ou matters relative to the ed
ucational welfare of the race has of
teu been sought
In the south he wields much influ
ence and takes an active interest in al
matters pertaining to the welfare o!
the race.
Professor Johnson has a strong an¢
forceful personality and is a man o}
strong character. He is as active {1
the north looking after the financia
{nterest of the school as ff he were 4
the classroom giving instruction to th
students. The rise to eminence in ed
ucational affairs of Professor Johnsor
should serve as an inspiration to thi
youths of the race to make good use 0

pire themselves for thelr chosen pro
fession,

D. Pawiey at Jackson College.
Jackson, Miss.—Thomas D, Pawley,
who has been added to the faculty of
Jackson college, in this city, is one of
the most thoroughly educated men.
among Afro-Americans, He brings to
the school a large experience gathered
from the New England colleges in
which he studied. He prepared for
college at the Moody school, in North-
ampton, Mass., one of the most noted
of the New England preparatory
schools.
He then entered Amherst college,
from which he graduated in 1911. Ac-
tuated by a desire for higher educa-
tion he entered Yale university, at
New Haven, where he did postgradu-
|ate work in sociology and education.
His work at Yale was largely along
the line he will follow in his work at
Jackson college.
Mr. Pawley gives evidence of a bril-
Hant future and bears the earmarks to
a degree of the ripe scholar, Al-
though a product of two of the largest
and most influential of the New Eng-
Jana colleges, he is extremely modest
and unassuming in his manner. He.
talks reluctantiy of his achievements,
and it was with much difficulty that
the above facts relative to his life
were secured.
He represents the progressive type
of the young manhood of the race and
believes in deeds rather than words.
The securing of the services of Mr.
Pawley will mean much to the college
and will give much tone to the aca-
demic side of the school,
He worked his way through college,
depending wholly on bis own re
sources. He enters upon his new du-
ties at the opening of the school well
prepared. Jackson college is one of
the largest schools in this section and
wields a wide influence.
Located as it is in the heart of the
black belt region of the south, it acts
as a beacon light and has guided many
an ambitious youth to the right path
of usefulness. ‘The school has turned
out many graduates, all of whom are
doing excellent as educators and lead-
ers among our people.

kept in good shape and the branch
starts its fall work with a net balance
of $133.

BANKERS ELECT NEW PRESIDENT
Nashville Financial Concern Promotes Dr. J. B. Singleton.
PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN.
Selection of Well Known Dentist as Head of People's Savings Bank and Trust Company Meets With Popular Favor—Formally Connected With Meharry Medical College.
Nashville, Tenn.—Dr. J. B. Singleton, Nashville's oldest dentist in point of service, and who has been chairman of the executive committee of the People's Savings Bank and Trust company here since its organization, was unanimously chosen as president of that institution at a recent meeting of the board of directors, as the successor of the late Dr. R. F. Bovd.
For many years Dr. Singleton has been one of the south's most prominent exponents of his race, and his selection to this high office is no surprise to those familiar with the man, and especially those conversant with the affairs of the People's Savings Bank and Trust company.
It was by his own efforts that he acquired the prominent station in life he enjoys such as placed him in line to fill so important a position made vacant by the late Dr. R. F. Boyd, recognized as one of the greatest men of his race and day in the south.
Although the possessor of much talent and considerable means, Dr. Singleton has always been extremely modest and unassuming, and gratification at his election is general not only in Nashville, but throughout this section as the confidence in which he is held by all assures for this banking institution a continuance of the firm foundation and sound business principles upon which it was placed through the leadership of its former lamented head. While a prominent member of the faculty of Meharry Medical college and also enjoying a first class dental

practice in the city, he is one of Nashville's leading business men.
Dr. Singleton is also president of the Star Realty and Investment company, a corporation which is doing a modern and high class real estate business in Nashville, being one of the most popular concerns of its kind that has been inaugurated here among the business men of the race.
- In addition to the functions performed by it in the capacity as agent, the company itself purchases tracts and subdivides and builds to suit its customers, allowing long time payments. The offices of the company are in the People's Savings Bank and Trust company building. The other officers of the Star Realty and Investment company are: J. W. Simmons, vice president; J. W. Work, secretary; W. D. Hawkins, treasurer; James Bumpass, attorney, and J. B. Mullens, general agent.
The People's Savings Bank and Trust company, while the youngest of the two local banking institutions, has a capital stock of $50,000 and has made remarkable strides in the way of gaining a firm financial footing. It is now regarded as one of the strongest and safest banking houses operated by colored men in any section of the country.
The present officers of the bank area. J. B. Singleton, president; W. T. Hightower, first vice president; D. A. Hart, second vice president; C. V. Roman, third vice president; A. M. Townsend, cashier; W. D. Hawkins, assistant cashier; S. P. Harris, auditor; T. Clay Moore, manager real estate department, and James Bumpass, attorney. The executive committee is composed of J. B. Singleton, W. T. Hightower, A. M. Townsend, J. H. Hale and J. W. Simmons.
Suffrage League Honors Mrs. Clifford. The Equal Suffrage league of Brooklyn recently tended an informal reception in honor of Mrs. Carrie W. Clifford of Washington in the parlor of the Young Men's Christian association. Mrs. Clifford is widely known in women's club circles as a speaker and lecturer. She is also the author of a book of poems of rare merit.

TO REGISTER IS ALL-IMPORTANT
The confusion existing in politics this campaign and the swift reallignments that are going on are puzzling to those who do not devote time to consideration of such matters.
For fear that voters may grow in different to voting because they do not understand, we call attention to the urgent need of registration, in order that later on when parties and policies are better understood, there may be no impediment in the way of voting. It matters not how indifferent one may be now, conditions may so shape themselves that on election day he may wish to do his part toward bringing about the victory of some one party and the election of certain candidates. For colored citizens there is grave danger in not voting. Even though we cast only a few thousand votes, and are forceful only in close elections, our vote is our all. The use we make of it determines our interest in the government, and if we neglect it we brand ourselves as unfit citizens. We hope that those who understand the importance of voting will use their persuasive powers on indifferent citizens, to get them to register. There will be two days of precinct registration next month, and two days of registration at the court house.
COMMITTING SUICIDE.
It is most deplorable to find among the young generation so little of ambition. A living and nothing more is the life work of all but the few. Because of this willingnes to grovel like a worm, Denver is producing few young women or young men who are worth while. The uplift of self is essential to the uplift of others. The waste of time, of substance, of vital energy, in social riot and even in vi-

At the postoffice in the city of Denver,
cious debauchery is the legitimate result of purposeless lives. Parents should themselves have ideals and work to them, they should inspire their children with ambitions, and the children should scorn to merely exist. A "good time" race is short lived, and deserves to die. The world belongs to the worker. It is for us to say what part of it we shall have.
BACK TO THE LAND!
The crops this year have been bountiful and have given a tremendous impetus to the settlement of land in Colorado. The effort to get settlers who are of our race, is very, very limited except for one man, O. T. Jackson, formerly of Boulder county and now a Weld county farmer, we know of no one who keeps signing the virtues of Colorado land. This ought not be. The few favored sections of this state such as the Grand and Arkansas valleys are not the product of some happy chance, but are the result of years of toil and the investment of large sums. Some pioneers in these sections are now wealthy, others who are located in the so-called dry farming sections, make a good living and not a few have accumulated moderate fortunes. Negroes can easily help their condition by trying Colorado farm land. We all should do what we can to turn the race's attention that way.
THE STATESMAN'S VIEWS
ON COLORED CANDIDATES
At this time of the year when politics are much in evidence, there are rumors in plenty of colored representation on different party tickets. We therefore think it timely to express our hope that these will not be rumors merely, but are statements of facts-to-be. In so doing we do not mean in
THE STATESMAN
any sense to yield up our belief in what is right and expedient, but we feel that if colored citizens participate on different sides of public questions, we far prefer for them to be counted men worth while, than to have them left in obscurity. There is no danger that chance or intent will permit the worst men of our race to be honored with party nominations, therefore the very fact that a nomination is given, is evidence that some good is found in the man. We Negroes who differ politically from a nominee in the light of such commendation of one of us, cannot afford to say that we prefer to vote for men whom we do not know rather than the member of the race whom we do know and whom our white neighbors have commended.
We recognize that such opinions as we have here expressed are not in accord with strict party loyalty, but we hope that we may be forgiven by the party for such loyalty to race, especially since that same loyalty is what makes Negroes most esteemed. We believe such to be a duty, and we do not believe that we would be honest with ourselves, nor show commendable race pride should we support only such colored men as our interest dictated that we should support, or whom our own party had honored with nomination. The race press is behind the race when it is more partisan than racial, for above all, and thank God for it, the Negro is loyal to his own. The few who are selfish, who attempt to build their fortunes upon the ruin of their brothers, are not representative of us all. Porter Simpson and A. L. Miller of Colorado Springs are in the city this week on business.

I want to give you a short history of my condition so that others who have the same trouble I had may know there is a cure for rheumatism. In July, 1909, I noticed that I had inflammatory rheumatism. In health I had weighed 152 pounds; I dropped to 120 pounds. After being confined to the bed for two and a half months a friend recommended Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Powder. In the summer of 1910 I began to take it. At this time, April, 1911, I have been well and robust for five months. My

Kennedy, Lola Johnson, E. Stanley, Ellen Johnson, Dora B. Loveless, J. C. Steele, E. M. Brown, Misses Lenora M. Rucker of Rocky Ford, Sallie E. Simms, Arletha Reynolds, Messrs. D. C. Burton, Jas. Collins, L. E. Thalley. An im prompt program was rendered which was the cause of much merriment. Light refreshments were then inhaled in by those present. Miss Harris was the recipient of several tokens of regard and affection, among which was a neat little sum of money.
After singing "God Be With You," etc, at about 10:30 the party dispersed feeling that they had spent an enjoyable evening and wishing that the surprises in store for Miss Harris as she journeys along the path of life may be agreeable ones.

MEMORIAM.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE OF DENVER.
Whereas, It has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from our midst, and to take unto Himself, the wife of our co-laborer and the friend of humanity, Mrs. Crosby Ward, and,
Whereas, Mrs. Ward had, by reason of her devoted and devout life, so endeared herself not only to shorter Chapel of which her husband was pastor, but to the churches of the entire city and to the community as well, and,
Whereas, In her death the cause of Christ suffers an irreparable loss, be it
Resolved, That the Ministerial Alliance of Denver, of which Rev. A. M. Ward is an honored and faithful member, tender him and his bereaved children its deepest and sincerest sympathy, and prays that in this sad hour of their bereavement and loss that they may be sustained by His grace and resigned to His will, who hath said, "I will never leave nor forsake thee;" and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions appear in the "Statesman," The Colorado Statesman," and "The Independent;" and a copy given the family.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE
Denver, Colo., Sept. 19, 1912
Whereas, Death has again entered the family of our beloved pastor, Rev. A. M. Ward, and has this time claimed for its victim the wife of his bosom, one darling of his heart, his companion in joy and sorrow, success or failure; and,
Whereas, she was a loving wife, a kind, indulgent mother, a loyal friend, a true, faithful, earnest Sunday school worker, and,
Whereas, we know we can never feel her loss as keenly as does Rev. Ward and her dear children, yet we feel her place in our hearts can never be filled. She was a teacher in deed and truth. She was a living example of the lessons she taught in our school Sabbath after Sabbath. She fell working for the church and the Master; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we, the officers and members of the Sunday school of Shorter chapel, A. M. E. church, do hereby extend to the bereaved family of our dear Sister Ward our deepest sympathy in this the saddest hour of their lives, and would say to them "Weep not for her. She has simply gone to sleep in the arms of her loving Savior. Do not ask for her to come back to this place of sorrow and suffering. Your loss is great even grevious, but think of what she has gained. She has only gone on to await your coming." From a land of sorrow and sighing. From a country so sad at the best. To a land where dwells our Redeemer To give all his weary saints rest." We further say to you, dear friends lean heavily upon the arm of Him

CONSUMPTION
I was a lunger, suffering for a long time. A benefited friend endorsed Bates' Twentieth Century Wonder Tea. I took several packages of the tea and have not been troubled with my lungs since. That was several years ago, not being troubled with colds as I was theretofore. I most gladly recommend the Twentieth Century Wonder Tea to all lung sufferers.

"I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational invention of modern times," writes Professor W. L. Thomas, professor of sociology in the University of Chicago.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS THE LADY OF THE WORLD
Industry is the spirit of Tuskegee —industry and discipline are made a habit. The choice of some 40 trades are offered young men and young women. Tuskegee graduates are earning from $50 to $80 and $100 per month as academic teachers, farm managers, steam and electrical engineers, tailors, teachers of domestic science, nurses—in fact, the demand for men and women trained in all the trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the supply.
The academic work is vital and real; it is close to realities. The school seeks soundness and efficiency; the academic and industrial work are closely correlated.
The spiritual work of the school is strong. It ranks fifth in the United States in number of students studying the Bible. It is guided by a Chaplain and a Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and through a Bible Training School.
Morning drills for boys; special gymnastic training for girls; swimming pools for boys and girls; attractive grounds; more than 100 buildings—large, comfortable, airy, electric lighted; 186 teachers.

BALM FOR GREAT PROBLEMS.
Religion and Education Two Main Factors In Human Progress. Some one has said that the Christian religion is the panacea for the world's greatest problems, that the religion taught and lived by the great Teacher would not only ameliorate human suffering, but also create that long waited for new heaven and new earth. No man as he studies the life of the Master and gleans from that life the many ethical truths and moral lessons he strove to teach will doubt the truth of the assertion.
True, the coming of the Christian religion was not hailed with joy, but, rather, with a storm of opposition. Indeed, the opposition was so strong against it that for centuries religious wars raged with unwonted fury and madness, so terrible and vindictive that the effects are felt even to this day. But it lived amid it all and became the greatest thing in the world. Opposition brings out what is truly great in an individual or a race. Those individuals or races who have riveted their names in human history have been those races or individuals who have been trained in the school of adversity. Opposition is the keynote to progress. The overcoming of obstacles gives us a discipline and spirit of self reliance and strength of character.
And so it is with every new idea or great movement which has for its object the enthrancement of mankind. When Harvey discovered the circulation of the blood he was compelled to meet and bear the frowns and scorns of all the doctors in England. But today the mentioning of the name of Harvey calls not forth derision, but a respect akin to reverence. Principles are everlasting, and no amount of opposition can change them one lota. It would be just as easy to stop the working of the law of gravitation on bodies descending through

space as it would be to stop some great soul stirring movement; hence men and women did not hesitate to lay down their lives in his name.
If religion is the panacea for the world's greatest evils and the solution of all great worldly problems in business, etc., then education, with its transforming and uplifting power, comes second only to it. Men meet only on the heights. In the citadel of education have the fierce and unrelenting battles of the intellect been fought for truth. Education uplifts men.
Contrast, if you please, a settlement in the heart of Africa with one in New England. The contrast is so striking in its unsimilarity that it hardly bears comparison. The one is unprogressive and steeped in ignorance and superstition, while the other is progressive and represents the highest type of civilization.
USEFUL LIFE OF THE REV. MRS. FLORENCE RANDOLPH
Brief Account of Her Work as Minister and Teacher.
The Rev. Mrs. Florence Randolph of Jersey City is a native of Charleston, S. C. She has been a resident of Jersey City for many years. Her success in religious and educational work has been of the most helpful and uplifting nature, and her influence in the community has put many a young person on the road to a life of usefulness and self reliance.
Mrs. Randolph took up the study of theology after careful meditation as to her call to the gospel ministry. She first gained distinction as a Sunday school worker and organizer. She became a local preacher in 1897. For a time Rev. Mrs. Randolph was pastor in charge of the A. M. E. Zion church in Jersey City, and in this capacity she gave entire satisfaction to the con-
gregation.
Upon the recommendation of Bishop Alexander Walters Mrs. Randolph was admitted to membership into the New Jersey conference of the A. M. E. Zion church, by which body she was authorized and recognized as a minister of the gospel. Besides her pastoral work, Mrs. Randolph is an ardent worker in all good movements for the educational and material advancement of our people. As a speaker she is thoughtful, forceful and entertaining. Mrs. Randolph's most recent work aside from preaching has been in the interest of the various organizations of women's clubs.
CAUSE FOR RACIAL UNREST.
When a distinguished Russian was informed not long ago that some American Negroes were radical and some conservative he could not restrain his laughter. The idea of conservative Negroes was more than the Cossack's risibilities could endure. "What on earth," he exclaimed with astonishment, "have they to conserve?"
According to a strict construction of terms a conservative is one who is satisfied with and advocates the continuance of existing conditions, while a radical clamors for amelioration through change. No thoughtful Negro is satisfied with the present status of his race, whether viewed in its political, civil or general aspect.
He labors under an unfriendly public opinion which is being rapidly, crystallized into rigid caste and enacted into unrighteous law. How can be be expected to contemplate such oppressive conditions with satisfaction and composure?

MRS. A: M. POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

RACE PROGRESS IN VIRGINIA
D. S. Alston's Success as Real Estate Dealer.
SERVED IN MANY CAPACITIES
Interesting Story of How a North Carolinian Worked His Way From an Obscure Position to Prominence and Influence — Race Benefactor and Shrewd Business Man.
By GEORGE F. KING.
Norfolk, Va.—Never before in the history of Norfolk has there been such an interest manifested on the part of the Afro-American people residing in the tidewater section of Virginia in buying valuable real estate as the real estate records are daily revealing.
Twenty-eight years ago, there came to this city from North Carolina a youth who found a vacancy in one of the local hotels, and in accepting the job as a waiter this youth at once realized the opportunity for an ambitious Afro-American.
After saving sufficient money this young man entered the grocery business for himself and continued in busi-

DENNIS S. ALSTON.
ness until the Old Dominion Steamship company offered him a lucrative position as one of its stewards. At this period Norfolk had become one of the leading shipping ports in the country and thousands of Afro-Americans were coming to this port to be a working factor in its commercial progress. With a keen business perception he resigned his postion with the steamship company and entered the insurance and real estate business in this city.
Throughout the south among business men Mr. Dennis S. Alston is known. He furnished his office for business, and it is not to be excelled from the point of necessary appointments by many of the leading firms doing this class of business in Norfolk. Mr. Alston invested in farm lands and suburban properties in the beginning and stimulated hundreds of young men to buy real estate and showed a large number of farmers that were only renting farms the great possibilities in owning their farms. By judicious investments he soon became the leading Negro capitalist in this section. When he entered business it was not possible for Negroes to get desirable property in this city, but today he is leading the vanguard that has procured respectable homes for Negroes, and his latest purchase was a piece of property in a section of the city where the Negro was not allowed to reside which is valued at over $7,000.
This property adds to the civic beauty of Norfolk and is a "native ideal" for the race. He owns thousands of dollars of valuable real estate in various sections of the city and is reaching many of the young men of the city and helping them to become desirable factors by getting homes. The Negro in Norfolk is getting on to the spirit of progressiveness, and a number of commendable enterprises are being operated. This is largely due to Mr. Alston's unassuming way of helping to promote any commercial movement that will better the Negro's condition.
He is president of the Ninth Ward Civic league, which led the fight for the annexation of certain parts of the county to the city in order to better conditions among Negroes, and after the annexation Mr. Alston stood out for certain improvements that were about to be denied the colored section. Consequently over thirty miles of sewerage are being added to the new part of the city, and the school facilities are 100 per cent better. Through Mr. Alston's indefatigable efforts Grace P. E. church, this city, of which he has been senior warden for fourteen years, has been rebuilt and is among the city's most beautiful church edifices. In the various movements against evils that are proscribing too many of the Negro youths he is a prominent leader
BANE OF RACE PREJUDICE.
Noted Brooklyn Writer Commands
Stand Taken by Standard Union.
In reply to a recent editorial in the Brooklyn Daily Standard Union under the caption "A Prejudice Which Should Be Removed," Mrs. M. C. Lawton, the well known writer and agitator for the legal rights of Afro-American says:
"It is a sad commentary on a civilized government when worth and character must surrender to petty race prejudices, particularly when such concessions dwarf the development and growth of an entire race, intellectually, financially, physically and morally. Intellectually, because the doors of many of our higher institutions are closed against him, and yet he is expected to compete with the man who can enter any college in the world. This privilege being denied him, he is branded as mentally inferior to other races. Financially, because he is underrated, therefore underpaid. Besides there are so many fields of labor into which he may not enter because of race prejudice.
"Physically, because he is barred from athletic associations which make it possible for him to take the physical culture so necessary to a sound physical body, symmetry of form, etc. Morally, because of the congested manner in many instances in which this hydra-headed monster, prejudice, forces him to live. If the locality is desirable the rent is so extortionate that he must take all sorts of persons in his home to meet the monthly expense. Again, although his salary is less than that of any other class of citizens, he must pay interest for his color. This condition is calculated to lower the moral status of any race or people.
"To shut the door of opportunity in the face of any man and then brand him as shiftless and indolent is a malicious crime. To bar him from educational advantages and then label him as inferior is equally as criminal."
"There are men and women in the colored race whose identity would be imperceptible under a microscope, yet if it is known that they possess 1 per cent of colored blood the 99 per cent of the white blood counts for naught. Mathematics is no factor in this problem; hence the discrimination is not based on the complexion nor the texture of the hair. There are also scores of refined, intelligent, cultured men and women who are just as much ostracized as the most vagrant and uncouth men and women of their race.
"I heartily indorse the spirit of the editorial referred to in that it favors fairness and justice for the self respecting Italians, at the same time imploring the self respecting class of that race to condemn the vicious and treacherous among them.
"What is true of this particular class is no less true of the colored people. Let them ever be on the alert, commending worth and integrity wherever they find them and condemning crime wherever it exists.
"I assume that this fair and square article is no less directed to one race than another and that the Standard Union, so widely read among the colored citizens generally of Brooklyn, will ever be found on the side of right as it sees it, regardless of race, creed or previous condition."
The article in question dealt with the discrimination practiced against italians as tenants.
THRIFTY BUSINESS MAN.
How a South American is Succeeding
In the States.
Among the young men of the race
who have launched out on a business
career, and the type that always meet
the approval of men like Dr. Booker T.
Washington, is B. Callender, who is
conducting a successful express, cellar
cleaning and dirt hauling business in
Orange, N. J.
Mr. Callender conducts one of the
few places of the kind in the city and
is building up a successful business.
He does most of the express and dirt
hauling of the town through contract,
and by steady devotion to his work he
is building up a splendid business. Mr.
Callender is among the young men of
the race with foresight who seized
up the opportunity to get away from
the city and start a business of his
own.
He began in business by buying a horse and wagon and engaging in the express business, but his business increased to such an extent that he soon added an additional force in order to meet the demands for his services.
Mr. Callender is a native of Venezuela and came to America in 1907. While his business place is in Orange, Mr. Callender finds time to act as sexton for the Twenty-third Street Presbyterian church, one of the largest white churches in New York. His example could well be followed by other young men of the race.
Golden Rule Tabernacle of Moses.
Golden Rule Tabernacle, the Order of Moses, has been recently organized in McKeesport, Pa., with a membership of fifty-four. Grand Master Joseph J. Minor conducted the ceremonies, and was ably assisted by Mrs. Anna Delphia, organizer of the new tabernacle.
Mr. Minor expresses himself as being well pleased with the progress which the order is making in Pennsylvania, as is true of its work in other states.
To Teach at Howard Industrial School.
By securing the services of Miss Alberta Everett of Lynchburg, Va., as a member of the faculty, the Howard Industrial school at Kings Park, New York, gains a zealous worker and well qualified teacher. Miss Everett is the daughter of Mr. A. J. Everett, the well known contractor and builder and one of Lynchburg's most highly respected citizens.
