Ky.-One who makes a trip through Kentucky and observes the homes of colored people, their thrift, the evidences of progress and the rivalry existing between some of the towns is at once impressed with the fact that there has been a great awakening among the colored people of this state. A wonderful stride forward is being made in business as well as in education. In this city, which is best known by the meeting of the annual Negro fair, there resides a clever and progressive lot of colored people, not surpassed by the like in any state. Lexington is also fortunate in having such splendid race men—such aggressive, progressive and efficient men as J. C. Jackson, Dr. P. D. Robinson, Dr. W. H. Bailard, Dr. D. J. Hunter and many others, who are constantly alert to advance the interests of their race along every possible line. Lexington possesses a most charming, cultured circle, and the colored schools, under Professor Faust, are thoroughly up to date. These contribute greatly to make Lexington a real garden spot in the Blue Grass State. Included in the local Negro Business league are the very best men who claim this city as their place of residence. No city can boast of a larger and better pharmacy than the one over which Dr. Ballard presides as proprietor, and not in all Kentucky is there a more skillful surgeon than Dr. Hunter, or a better business man than J. C. Jackson. One thing which impressed me most favorably as a sign of racial harmony was the strong feeling among our people that it is their duty to patronize one another in business. They realize that such action is necessary in order to provide places, as clerks, bookkeepers, etc., for young colored men and women who each year are graduated from the schools in this city and state. Usually the legal profession is the hardest in which men of our race can achieve the success their ability commands. Here in Lexington the colored lawyers are Jack Johnson in an Auto Accident. Dispatches from Paris, state that the condition of Jack Johnson champion heavyweight of the world, who was seriously injured in a motor accident last week, is improved. The pugilist was traveling at a high rate of speed when his automobile dashed into the barrier of a level crossing a Arras. It was thought at first his skull was fractured. His wife was also hurt, but only slightly. Major Buckner Passes Away. Chicago, Dec. 18.—Major J. C. Buckner, widely known throughout the country, died here Wednesday Dec. 17. He was prominent in fraternal circles and a delegate to the Emancipation Celebration recently held in New York City, being appointed by the Governor of the State. Major Butler was an able man and served two terms in the Legislature of this State. CHEYENNE Rev. C. O. Smith of the Second Baptist church has just returned from Kansas. He was accompanied by his wife. Mr. Earl Smith is spending the holidays with his parents. Mr. Smith is a student of the Colorado College at Colorado Springs. Mr. Denby of Boston, Mass., will appear at Allen's Chapel on Friday night, under the auspices of the Willing Workers' Club. The president, Miss S. K. Thistle, and the members of the club are working very hard to make the recital a success. Miss Denby will be assisted by Cheyenne's best talent. Mr. H. Stacker of Chugwater is visiting friends in the city. Miss Anna Jones of Kansas City came Sunday to be present at the funeral of her sister, Mrs. H. C. Jefferson. Miss Jones expects to make her home indefinitely with Mr. Jefferson and Miss Lillian. Mr. Simon Smith is experiencing many difficulties in carrying his mail during the severe weather. The funeral of Mrs. H. C. Jefferson was held at Allen's Chapel on Monday afternoon. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Rev. Warren preached a noble sermon and Mrs. J. E. Smith sang a beautiful solo. Both Mr. Jefferson and Miss Lillian have the sympathy of the entire family. Mrs. Carl Smith and Mr. Nolle Smith will spend Christmas with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Simon Smith. Mr. Joe Armstrong is very sick. He reside at 709 West Eighteenth street. The Ladies' Searchlight Club will keep open house on New Year's day at the residence of Mrs. M. H. Hamler. They will be glad to have all of their many friends accept of their hospitality. On Friday afternoon Miss Eunice Ashford was hostess to the Willing Workers after the usual business was transacted. Miss Ashford was assisted by her mother in serving a dalyne luncheon. The Alves S. K. Thistle, Mathew B. Chance Ashford, C. F. Foster and Vivile Gaskin assisted in the Christmas exercises at the First Baptist church Sunday evening. GO-OPERATION THE KEYNOTE Interesting Account of the Thrift and Industry of Afro-Americans In Various Cities and Towns In the Blugrass State—Both Races Working Together For Advancement. Individual progress has been made here, and now members of the race are beginning to recognize that co-operative progress must command their attention if they expect to maintain the success already achieved. One thing that is very helpful to Lexington colored people, and especially throughout eastern Kentucky, is the good feeling existing between the two races. No better feeling exists between the races in any city of the north than exists here in Lexington. Perhaps this is due to the very high type of colored men and women, and possibly it is due to the high class of white citizens who reside in this section, or it may be it is due to both. There are many very successful business enterprises conducted by men and women of the races here, and the degree of harmony existing within the races argues well for the establishment of other and larger and different business establishments in the very near future. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 27, 1913 succeeding, and they receive every consideration due a lawyer from the city courts. Within a distance of one or two hours' ride from Lexington are the towns of Danville, Frankfort, Paris, Georgetown, each of whose colored population is one-third or one-half of the total population. In Danville, a town which reminds one greatly of the New England towns, because of the atmosphere of culture and its many beautiful residences, the colored people have a very excellent school, with one of the most earnest and best equipped educators, Professor Bate, as principal. In Danville colored skilled mechanics are kept busy. The most successful contractor is a colored man, the leading veterinary surgeon, Dr. Doram, is a colored man, and Dr. Jones is readily acknowledged by both races as one of the very best physicians the town boasts of. The Colored Baptist church, whose pastor is the widely known and popular minister, Rev. J. E. Wood, stands second to none in the city for size and beauty. Frankfort, Ky., is kept very much on the map by such energetic, capable and unselfish uplifters as Dr. E. E. Underwood, Thomas K. Robb, T. L Brooks, Rev. Silva, the very efficient principal of the colored schools and the president of the state normal school, and some others of Frankfort's splendid colored men and women. As in Lexington the feeling existing between the two races is most congenial. One only has to observe a little to learn that the condition of the race in Frankfort is rapidly improving, due to the co-operative efforts of part of the race and the evident desire of the whites to give the Negro a fair chance. [Copyright, 1913, by American Press Association.] STANFORD had just finished his breakfast and his servant was clearing the table when his friend Williams came in. "Happy New Year's!" he called "Have you made any good resolutions?" Suddenly he stopped short. "Why, what makes you so glum this bright New Year's morning?" "Haven't you seen the morning papers?" asked Stanford, pushing one across the table toward him. The other simply pointed to one of the headlines, and his friend read, "Failure of Henry Stanford—Head of the Sewing Machine Trust In Liquidation." Williams merely stared at the paper and then at the man opposite him for fully a minute. He could not believe what he had read. "Why, this is terrible!" he said finally. "How did it happen?" "Speculation," replied Stanford in conically: "I am awfully sorry to hear this," returned Williams. "Is there no way out of it?" "I see none just now," said the other. "I suppose you think it would be a good plan for me to make a New Year's resolution not to speculate any more. But I'm not going to. Now that this has happened I have resolved to find out who my friends are my real true friends, I mean. It may seem like a queer resolution, but it will be an interesting experiment. How many of the people I have befriended in the past do you think will stick to me now that my money is gone?" "I don't know," replied Williams. "But take my advice and don't try it. You're likely to be greatly disillusioned about many of your so called friends." "Perhaps," said Stanford. "But I'm going to try it anyway. I want to see what happens." As soon as Williams had departed he took his hat and stick and set out on his voyage of discovery. He was not really a ruined man, but not a soul in all the world but he and his lawyer knew it. It had been the work of a year of skilful manipulation, this "getting out" with $5,000,000. As a financier he was closely watched, but, for all that, he had at last successfully effected the withdrawal of that huge amount from the money whirlpool and its quiet investment in steady national securities. The morning papers proved that he had succeeded. Stanford could afford to indulge his whims, and he had planned all this for the simple purpose of finding out who were his real friends. Moreover, he had selected the holidays for the test, so that they WELL QUALIFIED OFFICIAL. Business and Social Duties of Mayor Archer of Battersea, England. The high honor of being received by the king as an official is always an item of more than ordinary interest to those whose good fortune it may be to preside over any of England's possessions or the various boroughs of London. John Richard Archer, who was recently elected mayor of Battersea, will receive all the consideration and courtesies usually accorded to an official of his rank. Mrs. Archer, wife of the mayor, will also share with her husband the honors of his office. They will be received by the king and queen at social functions on equal terms with other officials. The social functions given at the Mansion house by the lord mayor of London are among the most important. That Mayor Archer will measure up to the dignity of his office is not questioned, as he is known to have splendid ability and fine social manners. Then again, he is well versed in the requirements of his office. A remarkable feature of the campaign which Mr. Archer won was the fact that no contestant for the office mentioned Mr. Archer's color in a stump speech. But since the election Mayor Archer said in a speech: "It is a victory such as has never been gained before. I am a man of color. Many of the things that have been said about me, however, are absolutely untrue. I have been charged with not being of the superior race, and it behooves you to show that you do belong to the superior race. "I am the son of a man born in the West Indian islands. I was born in M. MAYOR AND MRS. J. R. ARCHER. England, in a little, obscure village probably never heard of until now—the city of Liverpool. I am a Lancastrian bred and born. My mother—well, she was my mother. My mother was not born in Rangoon. She was not Burmese. She belonged to one of the grandest races on the face of the earth. My mother was an Irishwoman. "So there is not so much of the foreigner about me, after all. They have said I am a man of color. I am. I am proud to be. I would not change my color if I could. Is it true that 'east is east and west is west, and never the twain shall meet?' Why, not so long ago you were breaking your necks to put the wedding ring on the finger of the cast—to make an alliance with Japan.

Under the auspices of an organization known as the Women's congress, an effort is being made to raise funds with which to build a house for or phans and aged persons in South Plain field. N. J. The congress is composed of women from the various churches of the state, with Mrs. P. H. Brown as president. The organization recently held a successful series of meetings in Newark in the interest of the project. Mrs. P. H. Brown is one of the most widely known missionary workers in the northern and New England states, having been for many years president of the woman's branch of the New England Baptist Missionary convention, of which the Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, L.L. D. of Washington is president. INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS. Noted White Men Join Race Journals In Fight Against Wrong. Washington.—The recent newspaper reports that the Democrats had relaxed in their policy of segregating colored employees at Washington shows that the widespread criticism of the effort has had the desired effect. Not only did race journals join in the campaign against segregation, but representative journals like the New York Evening Post, the Springfield Republican, the Boston Advertiser, the Chicago Record-Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the Christian Science Monitor and the Congregationalist entered emphatic protest. The New York Age, the Boston Guardian, the Chicago Defender, the Afro-American Ledger, the Amsterdam News, the Freeman and the Crisis were among the race publications that exposed the scheme. The utterances of such white men as Senator Clapp, Moorfield Storey, Oswald Garrison Villard and J. E. Spingarn also had a telling effect. It must be said, however, that colored men and women are themselves largely responsible for the turning on of the light. One colored man here, who prefers that his name be not made public, enlisted several leading dailies in fighting the scheme. J. C. Napier, who gave up his position as register of the treasury rather than submit to segregation, is entitled to praise for focusing attention on the un-American plan. Bishop Walters, whose attitude was grossly misrepresented, was also an insistent and consistent foe of segregation. In his talks with President Wilson and other Democratic leaders here he always voiced his disapproval of the plan. He declared that Oswald Garrison Villard was grossly misinformed when he charged that he (the bishop) favored segregation. After the bishop wrote Mr. Villard that he was greatly in error and that President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo and others would back him up in this statement Mr. Villard wrote the bishop as follows: "In regard to the recent happening at Washington I stated to the audience that it had been said to me by high authority that a bishop had favored segregation, that I should not mention his name because he had denied it and that I would not make an issue between him, a president of the United States and a bishop. Since you wrote me that you have been informed by the White House and the treasury department that no such statement was made to me there is nothing left for me to do but to infer that I was misinformed or misunderstood and to express my regret to you that such appears to have been the case." Though the administration is reported to have changed its attitude regarding segregation, there has been no public announcement of that fact. W. Monroe Trotter and others, who placed a monster protest into the hands of the president, are, it is said, still awaiting a reply. Segregated washrooms are still in vogue in the treasury, postoffice and other departments. The Best Gift of All. Of all the gifts that come to cheer The best one is a brand new year.

How to Remember the Calendar For 1914 If your friend Jones meets you in the street and asks you what day June 22d will drop on, because he has just heard there is something of interest to him to happen then, you say: "Sorry, old chap; cannot tell you. Wish I could memorize the calendar at the beginning of the New Year. It would be extremely handy, but it is too big a job. Now, it has just occurred to me that it is Nellie's birthday on April 7, and I'd like to know the day." "Well, I can't tell you," says Jones. "We shall both have to wait until we come across a calendar. But, as you say, it would be a useful thing to learn the calendar at the beginning of the year. You often want to know what day a certain date will fall on." That is just it, and yet the calendar for the year can be memorized in ten minutes by a little plan that is quite simple. Here it is: Copy from a calendar and write down in a column the date on which the first Sunday in each month will fall in 1914—thus: January ..... 4th February ..... 1st March ..... 1st April ..... 5th May ..... 3d June ..... 7th July ..... 5th August ..... 2d September ..... 6th October ..... 4th November ..... 1st December ..... 6th Now the only thing to do is to memorize this list, and it may easily be done as follows: Link the name of the month in the first column to the figure in the second column by means of an association of ideas—thus: By reading these rimes over aloud few times you will find that the as- New Year's Wish and Telegrams A very acceptable message to send with your card to a friend on New Year's morning is the following sentiment: Now what is here? A word of cheer To herald in another year. May all its days be free of blame, A little noier than your aim. May all its labors be confest A little better than your best And all the joys within its scope A little brighter than your hope. And may each year be found when past A little dearer than the last. As a pastime distribute telegram blanks with the words "New Year's Day" in large letters at the top and tell each one to write a telegram beginning with the letters of the above in the order that they come. Of course these will be the merest nonsense, but loads of fun, as the following example shows: "Nora. Every woman yearns everlastingly after romantic situations. Delighted again yesterday."

E. church, under the auspices of the Sunday Alliance. Rev. Dr. David W. Fouse of the Reformed church will make the principal address. A strong program has been arranged. We have reason to expect an overflowing house on this occasion. The program will begin at 8:30 p. m. sharp. Miss N. H. Demby, prima mezzo soprano, of Boston, Mass., captivated her audience with ease on the evening of the 18th and her recital, in respect to the quality of program, measured up to our high expectation. However, the extreme cold weather and the dangerous condition of the streets limited the attendance to about 100. She left at noon Christmas day for Cheyenne, Wyo., to be the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Warren. The pastor will preach tomorrow at the morning hour on the subject: "Lessons From 1913." Special music will be rendered by the choir. Church offering envelopes for 1914 will be in readiness to be distributed tomorrow.

Mesdames Lillian Pinn and Lillian Hawkins-Jones, the onl youtside vocal helpers, also Messrs. W. T. Fields and Frank McVey came in for especial commendation for the two Jubilee pieces. Mrs. Laura Westbrook, our artistic accompanist, was at her best at the piano. As usual the music was up to the Standard Christmas morning. The anthems by the entire choir, the quartette, "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" (Sawyer), by Messrs. Fields, McVey, Misses Mabel Cole and Bessie White; the solo, "Bethlehem" (Armstrong), by Miss Mabel Cole, and that by Mrs. Emma Anderson, "Under the Silent Star" (Combs), accompanied by Mr. Valaurez Spratlin on the piano, were fine. Mrs. Westbrook presided at the organ. The program, "The World's Christmas Tree," was rendered Christmas night at the Christmas Tree in the Chapel. Sunday being the last Sabbath of the year every member ought to be out at both services. Each discourse will be of extraordinary interest. At the close of the evening services the Westminster Guild will have an informal gathering in the pastor's study. All members and others interested are urged to be out.

Croup is a terrible disease, it attacks children so suddenly they are very apt to choke unless given the proper remedy at once. There is nothing better in the world than Dr. King's New Discovery. Lewis Chamberlain, of Manchester, Ohio, writes about his children: "Sometimes in severe attacks we were afraid they would die, but since we proved what a certain remedy Dr. King's Discovery is, we have no fear.

To explain the matter in detail would take up more space in your valuable paper than would be just. In the near future a history of Dearfield will be written; then the history of the individuals who have been honored by having the streets of Dearfield given their names will be more fully explained. I will state that those who are dead are historical people and those who are living are making history for the Race. When the history of Dearfield is written it will be interesting and inspiring to the future generations as well as of much importance to the present one. The locators or pioneers of Dearfield cannot be showered with too many honors, for it is they who are making it possible for the future generation. the people and the future of the settlement that she has never left,not even for a visit to Denver. Young Street was named from Joe Young who was the third pioneer to file on N. W. 1-4 Sec. 33. T. 4. N 61 W. P. M. and who stayed with his claim constantly and can prove up at any time. Rothwell Street was named for Mrs. Hattie B. Rothwell, one of the bravest little women that ever crossed the plains. She is a widow with two children and they are making a most wonderful record for homesteaders. She is located on the N. 160 acres of Sec. 26. T. 4. N. 61. W. P. M. Hicks Street was named from the fourth pioneer to file. He is on S. E. 1-4 Sec. 27 T. 4. N. 61. W. P. M. and has worked his claim constatnly and can also prove up at any time.

He is one of the three pioneers out of 15 who braved the coldest winter that Colorado had experienced in years. Though he was 72 years old when he located in Dearfield he has produced large crops and is as hale and hearty as a man of 40. Mr. Matlock has always been prominent in church and society work, and has worked all his life to lift the Negro's burden. His example and services to Dearfield are invaluable.

POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR 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.

JACKSON COLLEGE HEADS THE LIST Takes First Honors In Great Oratorical Contest. BELIEVES WN EFFICIENCY. Institution Founded Thirty-six Years Ago and Carried on Under the Aus- pices of the American Baptist Home Mission Society Is Well Managed by President Z. T. Hubert. Jackson, Miss.—Jackson college im this city is recognized as one of the foremost institutions for the education of Afro-Americans in the south. Un- der the management of Z. T. Hubert as president, the school is meeting the needs of Its large student body in a most satisfactory way. President Hu- bert by his close attention to the vari- ous phases of educational work among our people has won his way to the front solely upon his merit. Realizing that the greatest drawback to the newly emancipated people was ignorance, tue college was brought & Zs a Eee jf os o a .. ie, ee a a , wai on = a bcm taet dat ars haere: “into existence for the purpose of giy- ing them a chance fo get an education. It started in Natchez in i877, solely for the purpose of tratmimg teachers and preachers. In this it has been suc- cessful, and during the thirty-six years of its existence over 7,000 students have been taught in the school, and some of the leading men and women of the country are graduates of it. Jackson college graduates can be found In various parts of the country preaching, practicing law and med! cine, in business, teaching, farming and filling high positions in the natior al government. The enrollment is over 300, and many others will enter the first of the year (1914). They are from Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Mis sissippi The high class work done by the institution places it In the front rank. Possibly nowhere can be found an institution which {s more alive to the best interests of its students. The character of its work is shown in the fact that at the state fair re cently held it won Orst prizes in all of its department exhibits excepting one. and this was in competition with prac tically all the schools of the state. Ir @ recent oratorical contest between Tougaloo university, Alcorn A. and M college, Campbell college, Utica Nor mal and Industrial college, Christiar college and Jackson college Jackson college won. The faculty, with Z. T. Hubert as president, consists of seven: teen well trained men and women some of whom are graduates from the | leading institutions of the country. President Hubert shows that he {s choice in the selection of his faculty and it is esteemed an unusual honor to be numbered therewith. Yale, Chicago. Amherst, Brown, Morehouse, Spelman, Fisk, Atianta and Talladega are among the schopls represented on the faculty thus selected. Mr. Hubert is the first member of our race to hold the posi tion of president of the school. For years it has bad at Its head prom! nent white men from the north, each ‘of whom has rendered good service. It was in 1912 that Professor Hubert was selected for the position. He was born of humble parentage on a farm in Hancock county, Ga., in 1877. | the year that the schoo! was organized. Out of the same famiiy have come three other boys who are also graduates of northern universities and who are now doing good work. President Hubert recelved his early education in the graded schools cf his native state and at Morehouse (Atlanta Baptist) college, Atlanta, Ga., and when he graduated he was employed as one of the tn- structors in his alma mater. He ts also an honor graduate of Amherst. It was during the early fall of 1904 that he was appointed to teach scienc’ and agriculture ip the Florida State college, Tallah.-see, Fla. and It was while in this position that he Inid th: foundation for his present p ‘sition, which he ts filling well, Step by step he has made his way up. He was call ed to the Spelman seminary, a schoo’ for girls, to take charge of buildings and grounds. A slight dea of the confidence the soclety had tn his ability is shown tr that when he was called to the presi dency of the school he was requested to select an entire new facvity to take the place of the white men and womet who had been in the school for years It was his frst work as pwsident of a large institution, IN TIME OF TROUBLE CALL CHAMPA, 2955 : | M.

My hands sometimes are horny My face is seamed with sun, My path is sometimes thorny, My living grimly won By labor unremitting And hard and bitter toil; Forever I am pitting My strength against the soil. The city’s lights and glamour Are not for me to know, But neither is its clamor, Its squalor and its woe; Not mine its pleasure places, But mine the good brown loam, The air, the open spaces, The quiet peace of Home! And, though by all my labor I win no mighty prize, I still can face my neighbor And look him in the eyes; I am no speculator Within the wheat-pit hurled; I am the wealth-creator Who helps to feed the world. One with the empire-makers Who bring a better day, I till my thrifty acres And bow to no man’s sway; My gold might heap up faster Were I to crook the knee, But no master is my master And I am strong—and free! —Berton Braley.

Venezuela has recently erected a beautiful monument to Alexander Petion, the first president of the republic of Haiti, in recognition of his services to Venezuela at various times while at the head of the Haitian government, Alexander Petion was born at Port au Prince in 1770. His father was a wealthy colonist, and his mother was a mulatto. He was sent to France to be educated and served at an early age in the French army. Afterward, when the revolution broke out, he took an active part in the rising of the colored people and distinguished himself as an officer of artillery. His humane disposition and pleasing manners gained for him the favor of all classes, and during the period of terror he succeeded in protecting many of the colonists. When the blacks, under Toussaint, began to proscript the whites and mulattoes Petion resisted them by arms, but he was soon forced to fly from the island. Returning with General Le Clerc, he fought for some time under the French standard; but, disgusted at length by the cruelties of the French and especially by their treachery toward Toussaint and their attempt to re-establish slavery, he again joined Dessalines and on the death of the latter was elected president of the southern and western portion of the island, while Christophe, who had been general in chief under Dessalines, became ruler of the northern part. Petion was a man of deep and sincere religious convictions. As a ruler he was distinguished for the republican simplicity of his manners and mode of life, as well as for his humanity and impartial justice. But the anxieties caused by the difficulties of his position in the midst of a population hitherto wholly unaccustomed to self control, anxieties which were still further increased on his part by an extreme and almost morbid consciousness, proved too much for his health. He died, universally lamented, on the 20th of March, 1818. As a military officer he was remarkable for skill and serene courage. For some very interesting particulars respecting President Petion the reader is referred to Nos. 48 and 49 of volume 39 of "The Friend" (1866), published in Philadelphia. The article in question is from the pen of Stephen Greillet. AN IRREPRESSIBLE RACE. Our Virile Countrymen Destined to Succeed In All Fields. When the American people in their carelessness and impudence have finally succeeded in welding 10,000,000 American Negroes into one great self conscious and self acting mass they will realize their mistake, says the Crisis Magazine. At present it is still possible to make Negroes essentially Americans with American ideals and instincts. In another generation, however, at the present rate we will have in this country a mass of people of colored blood acting together like one great fist for their own ends, with secret understanding, with pilless efficiency and with resources for defense which will make their freedom incapable of attack from without. The actual organization of this group is progressing by leaps and bounds. It needs now but to be knit together into one great unity. This can be done. It is being done. Those who advise "race pride" and "self reliance" do not realize the Frankenstein which they are evoking. The Negro cannot be beaten in this line by any present methods. The physical intimidation of lynching cannot be kept up. The economic intimidation of exclusion from work cannot, with the present organization of Negro industry, be kept up after ten years. Continual social insult is powerless against those who refuse to be insulted. After this—what? What can America do against a mass of people who move through their world, but are not of it and stand as one unshaken group in their battle? Nothing. The yell of the segregationist is the last scream of beaten prejudice. After that American civilization will be compelled through long centuries to tear down the walls which they are now building around the finest and most gifted single group in its population. NATIONAL UPLIFT AGENCY HOLDS ANNUAL MEETING. Report of League on Urban Conditions Shows Good Results. The annual meeting of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, recently held at the assembly hall of the United Charities building, in New York, showed the efficient work and large results of the league's activity during the past twelve months. Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university delivered the principal address on "The City Negro." In his usual effective style he described the problems which confront members of the race who move to the city and the efforts which must be made to help them meet city conditions. He said that our people in the city were in greater need of attention than those in the country because there were greater forces in the environment of the city to degrade. Mr. L. Hollingsworth Wood of New York was the chairman of the meeting and described in graphic terms the work of co-operation, housing improvement, industrial improvement, travelers' aid, big brother, big sister and other work carried on by the league. He pointed out especially the developments which the league has recently entered upon in southern cities. An important feature of the meeting was an illustrated lecture by Dr George E. Haynes of Fisk university and director of the National league. The views showed some of the housing, sanitary, economic and other conditions among Negroes in the cities and the work the league has done in improving those conditions. Those present especially enjoyed the music by the orchestra and chorus of the Music School Settlement For Colored People. Mr. David I. Martin director; also Mr. David Mannes and Miss Helen E. Smith rendered a sonata which met with a hearty encore from the audience. Both from the addresses and the stereoicon plews the league showed clearly the great work it is doing to give to the colored people in the cities "not alms, but opportunity." Hold Elaborate Lincoln Celebration. As this year marks the fifteenth and niversary of the issuance of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, our people throughout the United States should endeavor to make the celebration of the great emancipator's birthday, Feb. 12, 1914, the most elaborate of any held in previous years. PROGRESS IN VIRGINIA Many Creditable Exhibits Shown at Gloucester County Fair. The success of the colored people in Gloucester county, Va., and the cordial relation existing between the races in tidewater were graphically shown recently at the annual meeting of the Gloucester Educational and School Fair association, when over 2,000 people attended the three day session held near the Gloucester courthouse and at the old folks' home. The industrial exhibit, furnished by the Gloucester schools, included specimens of basketry, sewing, cooking, needlework, canning, shuck mats and garden products. Prizes were awarded for excellent school, home and farm products. E. R. Chesterman, secretary of Virginia state board of education, emphasized the importance of educating all the people. He urged the colored people to send their children to school and secure as much education as possible. He declared that it is the policy of the Virginia department of education to give all the children, colored as well as white, the opportunity of preparing themselves for the duties of life. He spoke in favor of education which trains young people for their life work as opposed to that kind of education which devotes time to the study of useless things. He congratulated the colored people on the co-operation which they had secured with school authorities in the improvement of the Gloucester schools. He also urged our people to continue their friendly attitude toward the state school officials. Among the other speakers were R. A. Polkes, county superintendent; Rev. John W. Booth of Ware Neck; L. C. Catlett, the white farm demonstrator for Gloucester; Rev. W. H. Groves, pastor of the white Presbyterian church, Gloucester; Rev. J. H. Alston, pastor of Polpar's church, Gloucester, and R. A. Janney, a white man, who spoke on stock raising. Some $75 worth of prizes were distributed all round. The prize for the best kept farm was a two horse chilled plow; second prize, a single plow; third, a spike tooth cultivator. The girl who wore the neatest dress made by herself was given material for a gingham dress. The first canning prize was a dozen half gallon fruit jars. The man having the best looking turnout was given a good horse bridle. The prizes were all of a practical nature and were given as a reward for something useful done by men, women and children. Thomas C. Walker and J. W. Lemon, as president and treasurer of the fair association, and Mrs. Isabel Gwinn Smith, the supervising industrial teacher for Gloucester, were among the leaders in this excellent undertaking.

FOUNDER OF THE GADETS. Promoter of Organization For the Advancement of Boys, Superintendent of Sunday School and Chief Factor In Big Land Company Are Some of Dr. Crawford's Activities. Austin Tex.-Dr. W. H. Crawford of this city is the founder and commander in chief of the National Baptist "A.F." cadets, an organization composed of boys, operated on the order of the boy scouts' movement. He has written a manual, in which are set forth the rules and regulations governing the organization, which has been published by the national Baptist publishing board in Nashville, Tenn. Dr. Crawford is also superintendent of perhaps the largest Sunday school in the United States among the colored people. At the annual meeting of the national Baptist Sunday school congress held in Muskogee, Okla., last June, Dr. Crawford's school won the prize banner for having the largest number of scholars of any school belonging to the congress. He is active in many movements for the advancement of the race along various lines. As one of the founders of the National Home Builders' army he has accomplished a great work. He is the secretary and field marshal of the company, which owns a tract of 50,000 acres of the best land in Texas. So thorough is Dr. Crawford's work that his services are constantly demand, both in his profession and as a [Name] W. H. CRAWFORD, M. D. business man. When the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten, reputed to be the wealthiest secret order of its kind in the state, saw the necessity of having a well qualified physician to protect the interests of the organization, Dr. Crawford was elected medical director. During the three years in which he has held the position, the society has grown in membership and finance, and there has been a great reduction in the death rate among the members of the order. Dr. W. H. Crawford was born in McLennan county, Tex., March 29, 1872. He is the son of a Baptist preacher and a devout Christian mother, from whom he received a double portion of religious zeal and enthusiasm. Walking eight miles when he was eight years old to attend his first Sunday school, he was seemingly marked then and there for Sunday school timber. At the age of twelve he became a Christian and joined the Baptist church and has since that time been an effective foe in the church. His public school education was obtained in the schools of his home county; his academic training was in the Hearne academy, Texas; he received his medical education from Leonard Medical college, North Carolina, and from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago. Thus preparing himself, he began the practice of medicine in his home town, but his skill soon demanded for him a wider field, and he therefore moved to Austin, Tex., where he soon rose to prominence, his practice being one of the largest in that city. He won fame and distinction as a doctor of recognized ability during the meningitis epidemic that swept over Texas a few months ago. It was Dr. Crawford that saved more lives from that dreaded disease than any physician in Austin. As a citizen he is one of the leading men in his home city, where he is consulted on all matters pertaining to the advancement of his race by both white and colored. As a churchman he is the leading spirit in Ebenezer. Baptist church, where he is loved, consulted, respected and obeyed as a man of undoubted Christian integrity whose life is worthy of emulation.

Slowly, yet as sure as there is a tomorrow, is the white race regaining the upper hand in pugilism, and unless all signs are badly misleading, inside of another year or two the white fighters will once more reign supreme. For the last half dozen years the Negro has held the ace in the fighting game, but the change is about due, and when it takes place it is doubtful if ever again will the black man be given the opportunity to match his skill with the gloves against his white brethren. Once the championships of all divisions are held by white boxers, there is reason to believe that mixed bouts will forever be barred by the authorities, in the United States at least. At present the bantamweight championship of the world is held by a white boy, Johnny Coulon, who refuses to meet a Negro in the ring. Johnny cannot remain champion forever, but he is not likely to lose his title to other than a white boy. The featherweight crown is also worn by a white fighter, Johnny Kilbane, and the little Cleveland artist does not intend to allow a Negro to beat him. Willie Ritchie is the lightweight champion, and there does not loom up a colored fighter who stans a chance against the Frisco miller. The only championship held by a Negro at the present time is the heavyweight title, which Jack Johnson still carts around. There are possibilities, though, that Johnson will shortly find himself relieved of the crown he has worn for the past five years. The Negro fighter is gradually dying out. Less than ten years ago the names of Joe Gans, Joe Walcott, Jack Blackburn, Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey, and Joe Jeannette were common to the boxing fans. The last of these are Langford, Jeannette and the champion. Langford and Jeannette are slowly fading, and inside of another year the pair will probably be forgotten. Their exhibition they are about ready to join the down and out club. True, Langford did not train for that bout, but those who have watched Sam in his fights since he returned to this country declare that he's done. Langford stalled along for many years, failing to give the fans the best he had, but now his star is gradually dying out.—The Indianapolis Freeman. (Recited by James J. Jeffries) Oh, it's great when the mob is cheering. And the hats are in the air; When a champion lies before you And you've grabbed the winner's share. You stand there in the spotlight, Undisputed, monarch—KING; A panting, battered, bruised and bleeding Ruler of the padded ring— But that's when you're champion Ev'ry handshake holds a welcome, Years of struggle are a joke; Ev'ry face is smiling gladly Through the wreaths of curling through the wreaths of curling smoke.

And the world soon knows the story And your name's on ev'ry tongue— But that's when you're champion. But you'll learn that time is fleeting; Glory seldom comes to stay, And the rate that made you in a night Can break you in a day. Once again the ringside echoes, But a curse is ev'ry shout, For they're cheering a new champion As you're slowly counted out— And you're a "has-been." Then the handshakes lack their welcome And the cheers don't sound the same, And you realize how fickle 'ts that empty bubble, "Fame"— When you're n. "has-been." Still, all this world's a battle, And moral's an old, old text— The cheers for each new champion Are drowned in the cheers for the next. WHAT YOU MUST PAY FOR. To save a vast amount of correspondence, it is here stated that this paper does not publish resolutions of any nature, cards of thanks, lengthy obituaries nor notices of gatherings to which admission is charged, unless they are paid for. It seems impossible to bring the general public to a realization of the fact that a publisher is within his rights when he demands payment for the publication of matter that has no news value. The average individual or organization willingly pays the printer for "dodgers" or "posters" calling attention to an entertainment or a business, but he thinks a newspaper ought to advertise it free of charge. A society passes resolutions of condolence with instructions that a copy be sent to the family of the deceased and to certain papers. The subject matter is of interest only to a few individuals, but the newspaper is expected to give them wide publicity without charge. The bereaved family wishes to express its thanks to friends for services rendered. To save postage, a card is handed to the newspaper publisher with the request that it be inserted free of charge, of course. In time it may happen, as with The Advocate, that the paper discontinues publication. Then there is heard a chorus of "I told you so's" usually sung by those who, in addition to having availed themselves of its advertising space free of charge, are delinquent in their subscriptions. The Advocate has had sufficient experience of this kind to warrant the statement that it knows whereof it speaks; consequently, it will hereafter, without exceptions, publish only at the regular advertising rates communications of the nature referred to above—The Advocate. Any party knowing the whereabouts of John R. Bryan, who is sick in this city, will please notify Rev, Price or Ernest R. McKinney at the Y. M. C. A. headquarters.

PAUL LEON CALDWELL, Phone Champs 2570 For years with the German-American Trust Co. as custodian and bank collector, during his spare moments, has composed a very sentimental song, so beautifully set to music by Joseph Redmon and entitled, "Love Is the Tenderest Flower." It is the old, old story of love with all of its impulses, ramifications, sadnesses and sorrows, yet undying and ever faithful. "Love triumphs all things." Mr. Joseph Redmon, known in Denver as not only a syncopied pianist, but also as an artist of the guitar, was so deeply imbued with Mr. Caldwell's words of the love song, that his musical disposition easily crystallized the sentiments so that others musically inclined could and would interpret the author's soul vibrations. These young men, both bank collector's, have each shown a musical possibility. Why not have the public substantially encourage them by buying their music? Mrs. C. A. J.
