DISMISS OR DEMOTE NEGRO FEDERAL ORDERS.
Washington, June 19.—The political headsman is working overtime for this administration in decapitating Afro-American employees. Last week they got busy in the Pension Office and as a result six clerks were dismissed outright and four demoted in the number of Afro American would be dismissed and motted, an apologist for administration sent our correspondence denial referring to this publication as a "yellow newspaper" 1st of July is not her some twenty clerks have
The order made a splendid appearance and guided by G. S. Contee and Dr. P. E. Sprattin, arrived at the church on time. Masons believing in punctuality. The ladies in their beautiful costumes made a splendid setting for the occasion and St. John the Baptist Day 1914 will long be remembered.
Tenth Cavalry Praised By War Secretary.
New York. June 19.—The graduation exercises of the United States Military Academy, West Point, took place Friday, June 12. One hundred and seven cadets made up the class, but according to the unwritten law since the days of Major Young and Lieutenant Flipper there were no Afro-Americans among them.
The address of the day was delivered by Lindley M Garrison, Secretary of War, who waid high tribute to the conduct of the army in the recent crisis. He referred particularly to the avoidance of trouble on the Mexican border, where for 1,200 miles the Tenth Cavalry and other United States troops were doing "a duty difficult to do well as any that can be given to men to do."
"Fierce passions were aroused on both sides of the line. There was need for constant watchfulness and calmness. A slight mistake—a small indiscretion—would have had momentous consequences. And yet no such thing happened.
When Sunday dawned so beautifully upon Denver and remained an ideal day through out, the different branches of the Masons and their auxiliaries, viz Queen of Sheba No. 8, Heroines of Jericho, Lone Star Chapter No. 15 and Evergreen Chapter No. 36 O. E. S. and Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1 and Centennial Lodge No. 4 F. & A. M., began to pleasantly anticipate the coming successful day of celebration of St. John, the Baptist's Day and it was not until after Rev Jas, A. Washington, pastor of Campbell Chapel, himself a Mason of the highest and truest type delivered that grand, logical, instructive and eloquent discussion of the principles of the Order in the form of a sermon, that the climax of this joy was completed. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook gave a very interesting paper such as he has always given and received hearty applause as an evidence of the audience's deep sense of appreciation. Every member of the Order went away elevated and inspired to do greater service for humanity, after hearing the Thanksgiving service. The Masons, in charge of Capt Geo. S. Contee, Marshall and Asst. Marshall Dr. P. E. Spratlin, proceeded from their hall to the church, making one of the longest and most dignified lines of marches ever experienced in Denver. Of Centennial Lodge No. 4, Dr. P. E. Spratlin, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook and E. C. Tumlin were the representatives, while Geo. S. Contee, Carl Wilson and F. L. Guinn represented Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1.
The annual celebration of St. John the Baptist's day was held Sunday June 21, at Campbell A. M. E. church. The music rendered by the choir and especially the duet by Miss Brown and Mr. Clark and the solo by Mr. McVey, were sweet to the ear and uplifting to the soul. The paper by Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook was characteristic of the the doctor in thought and diction and many were the compliments paid him for his illustrations of Darkness and Light.
The master effort of the afternoon was the sermon by Rev. Jas. Washington, Past Grand Master of the jurisdiction of Iowa and pastor of Campbell church. For a genuine Masonic sermon with Masonic thought; Rev. Washington was at his best and his remarks to the sisters of H. of J. and the O. E. S. were something unusual and gave that branch of the order food for thought; Rev. Washington is a speaker with power
"Across the border,' he said, 'antagonists in arms were constantly clashing in sight and shot distance of our men. Friends and supporters of the of the respective sides were constantly seeking to use our territory as a means of refitting or outfitting hostile expeditions.
"The discipline of character, the self-restraint of training and the intelligence of our men met every emergency and passed through every test with an unblemished record."
We printed last week how Prof. Murphy was discriminated on the German steamer "Koenign Louise" traveling on the Hamburg Line and Wednesday despatches show that the steamer ran into another and many lives were imperilled.

FEDERAL ORDERS.
Washington, June 19.—The political headsman is working overtime for this administration in decapitating Afro-American employes. Last week they got busy in the Pension Office and as a result six clerks were dismissed outright and four demoted in salary. Those dismissed were: Mrs. Odey, Messrs. Mays, Lott, Smith, Brown and Dodson, while those reduced in salary were Messrs. Arnold Lawson, Robinson and Wood. All these were experienced and efficient clerks, but they happened to be Afro-Americans Early this week other Afro-American clerks in the Pension Office were tremblingly anticipating either reduction or dismissal.
The dismissal and reduction of this number in the Pension Office, following so quickly the demotion and dismissal of an almost equal number in the Post Office Department week before last, has caused much unrest among government employes here. On July 2 it is predicted that a num-
Department, while some may be reduced. When it was predicted in these columns sometime ago that before the first of the fiscal year a num-
As I was reading the Denver Star I noticed your appeal to the people and the names of the different lodges which made donations. I am not one of you in your fraternal circle, but I am one of you in heart and soul. In regards to Mr. Robert Harris I feel just as you do. In this case there should not be one person who fails to help but should give as he or she can. I think and know that in this particular case every colored man or woman should go to the extreme, for I know it would be an honor to our race. Another race in a case like this would respond liberally and money would be no object, and I feel just the same in this case and more so, for we are a race to which every finger is pointed and every eye scans. I am proud to enclose five dollars. I would give more but I have just had a surgical operation which cost me $175, but I always have a little left for a cause of this kind.

Through your generous publication of the Appeal without my solicitation I was able to secure from your subscribers many large and appreciable donations, and I, therefore, must congratulate you upon such a responsive subscription list, as well as, to recognize the great advertising medium of the Star.

ber of Afro American clerks would be dismissed and demoted, an apologist for this administration sent out in his correspondence denials, and referring to this publication as a "yellow newspaper." The 1st of July is not here, yet some twenty clerks have been reduced and dismissed, and the end is not yet.
Further discrimination is reported in the Agricultural Department. It is reported a young Afro-American women, Miss Matilida Bradley, of Chicago, reported here a few days ago in response to appointment as clerk in that department, Bureau of Plant Industry, having been certified by the Civil Service Commission from the eligible list. When she arrived it was discovered she was an Afro-American. To discourage her it is alleged she was assigned to work requiring expert and technical knowledge for which she was not certified and not examined for. Then the following day, so it is reported, she was not assigned any work at all, and neither has she up to this writing, simply being allowed to sit the day through holding her hands—a sort of solitary confinement—to so discourage her as to force a resignation, perhaps.

On Thursday evening, June 16th, the Mite Society with Mrs. Mae E. Byrd, chairman of the executive committee and Mrs. P. F. Done, president, gave the public a most successful enter-
tainment, being the occasion of the ushers' contest and prize drill. So highdf d popular interest run, that more people were in attendance than could be comfortably provided for. Mr. J. A. Walden proved to be the popular usher and was awarded a handsome gold headed cape. Mr. J. P. Perkins was a close second, bearing off a beautiful stetson and Mr. Wm. Robinson came in third for the umbrella. On account of absentees, Central's team declined to enter the contest, but the Shorter girls gave an exhibition in the Flower and Tambourine drills which charmed and pleased the audience beyond description. The receipts from the contest were $142.05. The success of this entertainment is due in no small degree to the uniting efforts of Mrs. Mae E. Byrd who made large sacrifices in time energy and means.
The closing exercises of Shorten Chapel teacher-training class, were held Tuesday evening last, when eleven of our teachers received diplomas from the First Standard Teacher Training Course. The address by Dr. D. A. Graham of Colorado Springs was a very strong and profitable one and was listened to gladly. In presenting the certificates, Mrs. Jean F. Webb, commended the class for its high grade of efficiency attained in studies prescribed. At the close of the exercise, tokens of appreciation were given by the class, the pastor receiving a beautiful watch fob and Mrs. Mary E. Wade, the president, a souvenir spoon.

DEARFIELD NOTES.
Mr. Thomas Stewart a recent graduate of the Veterinary Department of the State Agricultural College at Ft. Collins is a prospective purchaser of State School lands adjoining Dearfield. Dearfield will afford him a good opportunity as Veterinary Surgeon. Dr. Lowry, president of the College, speaks of Mr. Stewart in the highest terms as a student and as an agreeable citizen. Mr. Stewart graduated with high honors and was cheered to the echo by his fellow students. Dearfield welcomes Mr. Stewart and he may rest assured of our hearty co-operation and assistance. Mrs. J. F. Bruce, who was visiting with her husband and daughter in Denver for the past ten days, returned to her ranch this week. Her daughter is employed in the Millinery Department at Joslin's Dry Goods Store and will entertain a party of Young people at her mother's ranch in Dearfield during her vacation.
Zachariah Hooper and his son, Bennie, were visitors of their ranch east of town this week. Mr. Ben Hooper controls 320 acres of very choice land. He will begin his residence this fall. The Union Pacific R. R. Co. is building a regular station at Masters, Colo., Dearfield's nearest station. The Dearfield settlers petitioned for the station and asked for a colored agent. Get behind it and push, Denver citizens. Mrs. Estella Maddox, proprietress of Hotel Pricilla and the Grocery Store, made a business trip to Denver this week to attend to important business, pertaining to her ranch and purchasing new supplies for her store and hotel.
Mrs. O. T. Jackson, has loaned her piano to the Church. The services are quite city-like and very interesting. Many of the farmers are attending church services. Rev. J. A. Ramsey is a very able Christian Minister and his heart is in his work and is interested in our success.
Mr. Thomas Dillon, deputy secretary of State has donated the 1908 Colorado Statutes to the library at the Union Presbyterian Church of Dearfield. The farmers can go and post themselves on existing municipal loans. A copy also can be found of the State School Laws as it will not be long before a School will have to be established and it is well to post yourselves upon the State Laws concerning them.
Rev. Harrison, son of Mrs. Harrison, 701 Tennyson St., Denver, Colo., arrived in Dearfield from the south to build a house and make improvements for his mother to establish her home on her ranch, adjoining Mrs. Harvey Page and her two son-in-laws, J. N. B. Anderson and J. M. Williams. Mrs. B. J. Goodall entertained at dinner last Sunday, on her ranch, Mrs. O. T. Jackson, Mrs. Harvey Page and J. N. B. Anderson. A splendid country dinner was served. Fried chicken, home grown vegetables, strawberries, ice cream and cake, and yum, etc. Mrs. Goodall is a charming entertainer and her ranch is one of the best improved-in Dearfield.

FRANK JENKINS VICTOR IN BIG CHAMPIONSHIP MEET
Far Rockaway (N. Y.) Boy Swiftest Runner in Athletic League.
By two record breaking performances at the annual high school track and field championship meet on the public school athletic field in Brooklyn the second week in June. Frank Jenkins of Far Rockaway, N. Y., added new hurdles to his already brilliant record. Jenkins started off very calm in the mid-run, but suddenly took on speed which made him the winner by fifteen yards. He covered the distance in 4 minutes 35.45 seconds, elipting the old record of 4 minutes 40.3-10 seconds established by Young of Manual Training High school in 1907.
Following this splendid piece of running, the negro had come back in the half mile and in an exhibition of grit and pluck fairly hurried over the finish line, his last ounce of strength spent, in 2 minutes 31.5 seconds, obliterating the mark set by Abel Kriatn the Irish American A. C. runner, when he competed for Curtis High in 1000 making it home in 2 minutes 4.45 seconds.
Jenkins was the only colored boy running in the meet.
The Race Is Going Ahead in Alabama
According to a recent report in the
New York Times the colored farmers
own or control 5,100,000 acres of land
in the state of Alabama alone, or 350,
000 acres than they controlled in
1900 The colored farmers of that
state have under their control 3,563,
000 acres of improved land, and at
present they are farming 500,000 more
acres of improved land than they were
cultivating in 1900. In ten years the
number of Negro farmers increased
17.3 per cent, and now they own or
control one-fourth of all the farm
property in Alabama, having an aggregate
value of $17,370,000.

Strong Fight Against Racism
The fight against race prejudice by fair-minded individuals, organizations and by some government officials continues. At Albany, N. Y., on June 9 Attorney General Carmody made it known that steps would be taken through the district attorney's office to enforce the law forbidding discrimination on account of race, color or creed by proprietors of hotels, restaurants and others who maintain summer resorts. The law forbids the placing of advertisements or the publication of notices by the keepers of such places for public accommodation, to the effect that patronage will be refused any one on account of race, color or creed.

EXPERT REPORTS WORK OF RACE
FIGURES BY DR. R. R. WRIGHT
Bureau of Industrial Records, of Which the Hon. John L. Rockey is Chief. Empleys Noted Sociologist to Investigate Conditions Among the Colored Citizens of Pennsylvania.
For the first time in the nation's history a state department has undertaken an exhaustive study of the industrial condition of the Negroes within its borders, using a member of the race who is an expert to do the work. The bureau of industrial statistics of the state of Pennsylvania through its chief, Hon. J. L. Rockey, is the pioneer in this matter, and it is hoped that his example will be followed in other states. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia is the sociological expert who conducted the investigation, which covered a year and has taken up 195 pages of type matter. The report is entitled "A Study of the Industrial Conditions of the Negro Population of Pennsylvania, and Especially of the Cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh."
We learn in this study that the great majority of Negro workers in the state are immigrants from southern states, chiefly Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Statistical tables are given which show that a larger percentage of Negro work in the state than whites, that four times as large a percentage of colored women are at work than whites. While most of them are in un-

skilled labor, a great number have entered new trades and professions that were unknown to the race a half century ago.
In 1912 there were in Philadelphia fifty-nine practicing physicians, six pharmacists, twenty-one dentists and in Pittsburgh twenty-eight physicians, seven dentists and eleven pharmacists. These professional men represented nearly every large institution in the country.
in Professional and Business Life.
There were also eighty-five colored teachers in the public schools of Philadelphia, none in Pittsburgh. Salaries of teachers ranged from $30 per month to $2,100 per annum. There were 1,108 businesses in Philadelphia and 355 in Pittsburgh. Barbers were in the lead, there being 135 barbers; 111 restaurants, 73 in the carpet cleaning business, 71 grocers, 49 expressmen, 36 tailors, 36 cigar dealers, 34 employment agencies and 30 hair culturists. The study tells that 80 of these businesses have $392,480 capital invested.
Business concerns among our people pay as good wages for the same work as whites. There are 335 such firms, which employ 901 persons, paying a total wage of from $3 per week to $150, and 322 firms paid each week $1.36.30 per week to Negro employees. Flays the author. "On this basis it is estimated that the Negro firms of these two cities pay in wages, chiefly to employees of their race, about $30,000 per week."
Remarkable Achievements of Women.
The women of the race are no longer wholly in domestic service, though this field is large. There were in Philadelphia 14,005 colored women at work and 1,724 in Pittsburgh. They were artists, clergywomen, literary and scientific persons, musicians, actresses, teachers, physicians and surgeons, clerks, accountants, agents, stenographers, forewomen, restaurant keepers, nurses and midwives, boarding house keepers, hairdressers, domestics, etc.
The two oldest practicing physicians in Philadelphia are women. The oldest teachers are women. One woman teacher has taught forty-six years, another forty-two, another thirty-eight.
A Negro woman conducts the leading undertaking establishment. Another Negro woman conducted a similar establishment in Philadelphia for over fifty years.
Dr. Wright makes a detailed inquiry of 107 white firms, which employed 2,870 colored persons, as to efficiency of those employees, and the results are interesting indeed. A portion of this article is as follows:
"As to the efficiency of colored workmen, 101 of 156 employees in Philadelphia answered the question. Are Negroes as efficient as whites in the same grade of work? One hundred and thirty six, occupying approximately
2,000 Negroes, answered in effect yes
to firms, hiring 643 colored persons,
said they were more efficient, and
five firms, hiring 127, said they were
These reporting Negroes as more diligent were businesses in which they were employed as follows: "More so in some cases," porters, engineers, fundry maids, cooks; "better" for jan for "better" for cook; "more so" for porter; "better" for general utility; better for porter and duster; "better" for asphalt laborers; "better" for porers and bootblack; "better" for ship clerk; "better" for railroad walters and cleaners. Those reporting Negroes as less efficient were businesses as follows: "Not up to Americans in school training," "not satisfactory as servers," "not quite" as driver, "no" on account of old age, "no" for cou drivers, "better than native Ameri can, but as good as foreigners"; "no" for porters, "no" for calkers and drillers.
Moral and Economic Responsibility.
"Regularity and punctuality are two traits of character which were not deeply impressed upon the Negroes by slavery, and a study of the answers of employers as to those traits of character will show much as to the Negroes' progress during freedom in acquiring an economic as well as a moral character. As to regularity, 162 employers answered the question. 'How do Negroes compare with whites as to punctuality?' 152 said favorably, three said Negroes were more regular and seven said they were less so. As to punctuality 165 answered, 152 saying that there was no difference among the races, ten said Negroes were as good as whites in this respect and three said they were better.
"As to their restlessness or desire to change 153 answered, 128 saying they observed no difference between their Black and white workmen and twenty-four saying that Negroes were more restless than whites and one saying the Negro workmen were less restless than whites.
"In Pittsburgh twenty-two firms reported Negroes quite as efficient as whites in the same work, while four firms employing 190 Negroes reported Negroes better in some respects than whites, one stating that Negroes were better as waiters, another they were better in repair work in steel mills and two that they were better as janitors. Two firms employing four Negroes said they were not efficient.
"As to regularity twenty-eight employees in Pittsburgh gave the Negro employees a good record, some saying they were in this respect 'very satisfactory', while two said they were less regular than other employees. Twenty-eight Pittsburgh employers said the Negroes were all satisfactory in record to punctuality, while two employing five Negroes declared they were not. As to whether the Negroes stick to their work or make frequent changes twenty-nine reported. Four reported that the Negroes were not as restless as the whites, while five reported that they were more restless, and twenty reported that the Negroes stick well to their work."

GRADUATES SHOWER HONORS UPON REV. DR. G. M. P. KING
Dr. N. BARNETT DODSON.
[Class of 1831-Wayland.]
An important feature in connection with the commencement season at the Virginia Union university was the dedication of King gateway, at the entrance to the university, on Wednesday, June 3, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The gate was erected in honor of the Rev. Dr. G. M. P. King, who was president of Wayland seminary, in Washington, until Wayland and the old Richmond (Va.) institute were consolidated to form the Virginia Union university, in Richmond, Va.
Funds for the erection of the gate, posts and tablets were contributed by graduates of the two former schools and the present university in appreciation of Dr. King's great and unselfish services to them as individuals and of his services to the race generally as a true friend and educator. While Dr. King is not now engaged in teaching at the university on account of his advanced age, he is nevertheless deeply interested in the work of the institution.
Addresses were delivered by the Rev J. E. Nush, D. D.; Rev. Dr. A. Binga Jr., and the Rev. Dr. R. J. Langston Responses to these dedicatory adresses were made by Dr. G. M. P King and President George Rice Hovey, D. D., who spoke for the university. A thrill of tearful joy filled every heart as Dr. King expressed his thanks for such a broad token of his efforts to advance the cause of human brotherhood through the medium of Christian education. Orchestra music for the occasion was led by Professor J. M Sampson.
The exercise were closed with the bonification after the following odde was sung on the tune of "America:"
O V. I. U. we sing
Long may her praise ring
Bare all the land:
Sound out her words of praise:
Monuments to her raise:
Make her light brightly blaze
On all around.
And thus we'll sound her praise
Through all the coming days
The land around.
The land uninhabited.
She sought to ever find
Shone good in every mind.
Most V. I. U.
May blessings on her rent.
The richest and the best.
Heaven's choice gifts.
Mary's childlike.
Mary touch with love abide.
Mary's people shall gently abide.

Nashville, Tenn.-There has recently been issued from the press of the National Baptist Publishing house of this city a very neat and creditable directory of Nashville's colored citizens Directories of colored business men and women have been got out in Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Atlanta, Savannah and other cities, but this recent directory is perhaps the first of its kind ever published.
The book, which contains over 100 pages, with a list of the businesses, professions, secret societies, churches, etc. was compiled by Whittier H. Wright, a son of President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State College, Savannah, and a brother of Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia. Mr. Wright is attending the Meharry Medical college of this city and is a recognized expert and specialist in this particular line of work, having made studies and published directories of Negroes of Philadelphia, Savannah, Ga.; Chester, Pa., and other cities.
The directory proper contains the name and address of every colored family in the city, and there is also a

list of all those owning property. The book is illustrated with cuts and sketches of buildings and leading business and professional men and women.
Some things that may prove of interest to the public is that Nashville has a colored population of over 40,000. There are two banks operated by our people, eighty-eight public school teachers, sixty-two physicians, three drug stores, sixteen graduate nurses, five newspapers, nine lawyers, sixty-three restaurants, forty-five shoesmakers seventy-eight barber shops, eight dentists, 106 dressmakers, forty-four bain culturists, thirty-six music teachers, fifteen milliners, fifty-two grocery stores, two jewelry stores, nine moving picture parlors and seven office buildings.
Within her borders may be found Meharry Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical colleges, Walden university, Fisk university, Roger Williams, Tennessee, State Normal school, Tennessee Blind school, Nashville institute and the Flireside schools. Nashville is the home of three colored bishops—Bishop Evans Tyre of the A. M. E. church, Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church and Bishop J. B. Scott. African bishop of the M. E. church. Nashville has at least ten colored citizens estimated to be worth $100,000. It is the headquarters for the National Baptist Publishing house, the largest publishing and printing plant owned by our people in the world. It also has a colored fire engine company. The directory has a good many interesting facts heretofore unknown to the general public. Mr. Wright was assisted in his work by D. A. Hart, editor of the Nashville Globe, the leading Negro journal in Tennessee.
CLIFTON FORGE NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Interesting Program Marks Closing Exercises at a Virginia Institution.
Clifton Forge, Va.—The commencement season at the Clifton Forge (Va. Normal and Industrial institute came to a successful close on Monday evening, June 1. Rev. Dr. R. C. Pannell, pastor of the Elmesser Baptist church at Staunton, Va., and president of the Berean Valley Baptist association, delivered the principal address.

LIGHTHOUSE OF BAPTIST CHURCH
Rev. Dr. Moses Is a Shining Star of His Denomination.
AUTHOR. ORATOR AND SAGE
With Voice and Pen Eminent Presacher
Cenfers Honor on His Race and His
Religion—"Life of Our Lord," From
His Hand, Praised by Literary
Critics.
Knoxville, Tenn.—The Virginia Theo-
logical Seminary and College, located
at Lynchburg, the pride of the Baptists
of Virginia, has furnished to the state
and country some of the strongest men
and women of the race, and they are
being heard from in all parts of the
country. Rev. Dr. William H. Moses,
pastor of the Mount Zion Baptist
church, Knoxville, is one of the brightest
stars.
Dr. Moses is regarded as one of the leading pulpit orators and speakers of the race and has recently taken his place among the leading Negro authors, his latest book being "The Life of Our Lord," which is considered one of the finest of its kind that has ever been written by any one. It is told in an interesting and instructive manner and put so plainly that the smallest child may understand and get an insight into the life of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Moses comes from a family of ministers. He is the senior of three Baptist ministers, 8. A. Moses, pastor of the High Street Baptist church, Danville, Va., and J. M. Moses, pastor of Monumental Baptist church, Philadelphia.
The young pulpit orator and theologian was born in Charlotte county, Va., Dec. 31, 1872. He was reared largely by his grandfather, Richard Morton, and being his favorite boy was allowed the free use of his extensive library. Mr. Morton was one of the largest landowners in that section of the country.
It is to the farm that Dr. Moses is indebted for his early work and practical training, for at the age of fourteen years he was performing a difficult task of plowing with two horses, and at the age of fifteen was able to chop as much wood and haul as many rails and cut as much grain as the average man in his prime. It was while thus engaged that he was converted and joined the Morrison Grove Baptist church, Charlotte Court House, Va. All this time he had not lost sight of his studies, but kept at them all the time.
It is of interest to know that at the age of seventeen he was made overseer of the entire plantation of his grandfather, and it was in this position that he earned money enough to enter college. He had advanced sufficiently to enter the Virginia Theological Seminary and College to prepare for his life's work. At the age of twenty years he entered the school, and by the timely assistance of President Gregory W. Hayes, to whom he attributes much of his success, remained in school until he was graduated, carrying off class honors. He is today considered the ripest scholar and ablest graduate the school has turned out. He imbibed the spirit of President Hayes.
During his school life he made a good record, and his ability was recognized by the Mount Zion Baptist church, Staunton, Va., one of the largest churches in the state, which called him to the pastorate before he had completed his course at school. During the ten years he remained in Staunton he erected for that aristocratic congregation a church costing $30,000 and a fine parsonage.
After much persuasion he was induced to accept a call from the Metropolitan Baptist church of Pittsburgh. He remained only a short time, because he accepted the position of field secretary for the foreign mission board of the National Baptist convention, with Dr. L. G. Jordan. As a mission worker Dr. Moses is said to have excelled any other man in his denomination, and the amount of money he collected for missions was larger by far than the combined collections of all missionaries in the district employed for the same length of time.
Aside from his pastoral work and missionary efforts Dr. Moses has occupied, among other high positions, the office of corresponding secretary of the Virginia Baptist convention, editor of the Baptist Statesman, trustee of the Virginia seminary and college, of Morris college, Sumter, S. C., and Nelson Merry college, Jefferson City, Teum.
For a short time he was pastor of the First Baptist church, Newbury, S. C., and is at present pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, the leading church in west Tennessee.
"The Life of Our Lord" is just recently from the press and is being placed in many homes and among the ministers. Other literary productions are "The Nekro Baptist Church." "Sanctification" and "A Young Man's Vision."
Because of his literary attainments, deep piety and learning his alma mater conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity in May, 1907. The national Baptist convention, with which he has long been identified, looks upon him as one of the very elite members, where thundering voice him electrified it upon many occasion.

GET WISE. AN EYE OPEN TO THE
FUTURE.
In case the Union Pacific R. R. Co.
wants to put in a Colored Agent, who
can be @ telegraph operator and un-
derstand what that responsibility
means, what NeBro can hold down
the job. Get yourselves -ready, for
you know not the hour when these
opportunities may come to you. We
are likewise urging Negroes to take
the Teacher’s examination which will
be held in the various: counties in
order that when @ school will be es-
tablished in Dearfleld, the Negro will
be prepared to push his demands.
Don’t wait, but write or call up the
State Superintendent of Public” In-
struction and tind out from the data
she will gladly furnish you. We are
also urging that the men. farmers
and citizens of Dearfield, begin to
look into the laws of Municipal organ-
ization, the various officers duties,
ete. You must remember all that,
pioneer work falls now and rests
heavily upon your shoulders. What
are you going to do about it? Can
you or will you meet {t like men?
More attention should be paid by
mothers who have young daughters,
who go, or say they go to church, pic-
ture shows, etc. There is a sad neg:
lect being made by some mothers. A
hint to the wise is sufficient. The
Star is certainly chagrined by the
young element of Negro boys who are
loud and_boisterous at Five Points.
We recommend that the Juvenile De-
partment be notified. Ice Cream, mon-
ey and other valuables have been and
are being stolen by them. A hood-
lum {s a hoodlus and a theif is a thelf,
black or white, young or old, and they
have safe places for both kind. Let
us ‘help enforce the law by punishing
the guilty, no matter whose son it is.

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. For treatment, call on or address

The price of room rent, ads and other liners that are run on a monthly rate of 50c must be paid in advance as we are unable to carry them at so small a rate and pay a collector's commission.

MUSIC CLUB GIVES RECITAL.
How R. N. Dett is Uplifting the Race Through Music.
Norfolk. Va.—Music is one of the certain channels through which aspiring colored people can and do reach the hearts of sympathetic Americans. It affords the ambitious colored man, woman or child the effective medium of telling the thrilling story of the race's pain and hope, as well as the race's struggle toward the light of a better future.
A successful concert here and there, a recognition of talent, a well balanced program, a new enthusiasm for the best music—these are signs of a new day for the Negro musician, proud of his race and prepared to make good in his calling.
The Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Music club recently presented in recital R. Nathaniel Dett, head of the Hampton institute music department, whose work as a pianist and composer has already received the hearty indulgence and warm praise of competent musical critics. Mr. Dett has succeeded in making old and young alike join forces in rendering well and to together the music of his race and that of the so called masters.
What R. Nathaniel Dett has done and is doing to give his own people the benefit of good music and to demonstrate to white people the musical possibilities of the American Negro should be an encouragement to struggling colored men and women who wish to dignify the race's folk songs and to interpret the race's inner call to song.
Mr. Dett played a number of his own compositions, including the "Magnolia" suite—(1) "Magnollas," (2) "The Deserted Cabin," (3) "My Ladylove," (4) "Mammy" and (5) "The Place Where the Rainbow Ends;" "In the Bottoms"—(1) "Prelude ("Night"), (2) "His Song," (3) "Honey," (4) Barcarole ("Morning") and (5) Juba (dance); "Go to Sleep," "Carnival Waltz" and "Inspiration Waltzes." He also played Schytte's "Polonaise Brillante," Grieg's Nocturne, Rubinstein's Staccato Etude and Coleridge-Taylor's "Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveler."

The Candidacy of the Hon. H. C. Smith. The announcement that the Hon. Harry C. Smith of Cleveland, O., will be a candidate on the Republican ticket for the state legislature this fall has not only created great interest among the colored voters in Cuyaboga county, but the race throughout the state is interested in Mr. Smith's candidacy. The Ohio civil rights bill and the state antilynching law were each drawn up by the Hon. Mr. Smith and passed by his efforts while he was a member of the state legislature for two terms a few years ago. The Afro-American vote in the state is large, and Mr. Smith is well and favorably known to the white voters of the state. His chances for being nominated and elected should therefore be very good.
