Denver Star

The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR Number 117 INCREASING INTEREST BEING MANIFESTED IN FARMERS CONGRESS Fort Collins, Colo., Dec. 15th. During the week of January 3-8, the farmers of Colorado will make their annual pilgrimage to the Colorado Agricultural College to attend the sessions of the Colorado Farmers' Congress and Extension Short Course. The sessions of the congress will begin on Monday morning, January 3rd and will continue through Friday. Indications are that a very much larger number of farmers will be in attendance on the sessions of the congress this year than ever before. The farmers in every section of Colorado are evincing a growing interest in the congress, for they realize that in the lectures and discussions and opportunity for an exchange of ideas, is available a vast fund of information which can be put in practical use upon their farms. The program for this year is an unusually strong one. Government officials, members of the faculty and technical staff of the Colorado Agricultural College as well as practical farmers themselves will be on the program, discussing in the five days' session many of the most important problems which are presented to the farmers of the state. Make your preparations now to be on hand and enroll on Monday morning January 3rd, for the sessions of the congress. Charleston, -- The unrest which has been felt in certain South Carolina localities recently over the prospect of the Negro vote becoming once more a political factor in elections in that State was emphasized at the registration offices in Charleston last Monday, when voters registered for the city general election of December 14th. The registrars experience much more difficulty in completing the registrations than in a great while. It is felt that this was due in some measure to the number of colored men in line in this city. However, it is regarded as remarkable that there should have been any Negroes in line on that day. Whatever may have been the reason, to the Charleston News and Courier it "ought to be more or less illuminating to those people who are under the mistaken idea that the Negro has permanently laid aside political ambitions. He hopes the soliary of the whites will be terminated some day, with the possibility that in every election he might hold the balance of power." Nothing will be more remarkable than that the Negroes should do just that thing through the educational and property tests. They are making greater progress each year. ★ BLACKS HELPING ALLIES DISPLAY GREAT DISCOURAGE Milan, Italy Nov. 19.—African troops have been sent to the Balkans to reinforce the Anglo-French army and took an important part in the recent fighting south of Strumnitza. The famous French "Seventy-fives," which have won the allies many successes over the Germans in France, are being employed against the Bulgarians with great success. Terrible losses were inflicted upon the Bulgarians south of Strumnitza in the recent battle there. Thousands of dead and wounded Bulgarians were left upon the field when the Bulgarian army retreated. The war correspondent of the "Stampa" in the near east sends the following account of the battle between Strumnitza and Valandovo: DESCRIPTION OF BATTLE. "On October 24 at noon the Bulgarians appeared on the hills overlooking the Strumnitza station. General Bailloud occupied the heights on the eastern side of the station The main line was held by French infantry and zouaves, with chasseurs and African troops as reserves. "Strumnitza station lies on the Salonica-Nish railwayline about eight miles west of the Bulgarian city of Strumnitza. It has frequently been confused with the Bulgarian city of the same name in recent reports of fighting. Strumnitza station is on Serbian soil. "The order of the day was: Keep to cover and take great care of your lives. Don't get yourself shot uselessly, which means that you shall preserve the strength of France and utilize it to good purpose. If at any moment it is necessary that you should all be killed, be assured I will let you know." Copenhagen, -A despatch to the Politiken from Saint Thomas says: There is a serious Negro uprising in the Danish West Indies. Both the United States and Denmark have been asked to send warships. The insurrection was organized by Jack Hamilton, a Negro leader, who recently visited Copenhagen. - Bookkeeper in Miss. White Firm. Gunnison, Miss.,—Russell B. Sugarmon, a young colored man of this city, enjoys the distinction of being the only colored man in the State, and perhaps in the South, employed as book-keepers by a white concern at a handsome salary. The W. T. Burt Cotton & Planting Company, whose business amounts to more than $100,000 annually, has retained the service of Mr. Sugarmon in this capacity for the nine years. After months of preparation, weeks of constant vigilance and warning, and after days and hours of agonizing and suffering uncertainty, fruitless efforts and deepest anxiety, The Star and the people of Denver passed through, Monday afternoon in the City Council Chamber one of the most crucial tests in their community life. Its importantness, its resulting effect meant our whole future success, peace and happiness in Denver. Sunday afternoon at the invitation of the Commissioner of Safety "The Birth of a Nation" had been censored by sixty people of which twenty-five were of the most prominent and respectable class of the Denver Negroes. They had not been given a square deal after that vicious film had been witnessed. We expected as we had been promised to discuss with the Commissioner of Safety, our objections, which he had us write down and give to some one at the door. What he did with our objections and what he did with the white people's recommendations, The Star is unable to say, only that we neither saw nor heard of them again. When the other Commissioners were told of treatment and of the unfairness practised we were given an opportunity to be heard at the afternoon session of the Board of Commissioner's. The Commissioners assembled and after dispatching the routine business, the committee on Birth of Nation were given an opportunity to be heard. Dr. D. E. Over, C. W. Buford, Mrs. E. P. Costigan, Mrs. Alice D. Webb and Att'y. W. B. Townsend spoke. Fully five-hundred Negroes crowded into the Council and after the Commissioner made his report to the body, and recommended that certain objectionable scenes be eliminated—something he refused to do on Sunday night,—then another scene was asked to be eliminated and the commissioner of Safety became sullen and stubborn pledging nothing and the Council then moved and carried by 3 to 2 for the suppression of the film. The Honorable Commissioner, Clair J. Pitcher the mover of the motion, W. H. Greenlee, the second and Mayor Sharpley voted ayes. People of Denver and Colorado, this was the brightest moment in the history of all Colorado for the best and lowest of humanity. These men deserve and will get so long and so far as it lies with The Star's power our undivided and strongest support. Whatever they have done to us in the past, let us wipe from the Slate. This was a crisis and three real big American white citizens were born. O, ye worshippers of the square and compass, ye defenders of friendship, love and truth, ye brave men with sword in hand, ye American Woodmen and all others who have knelt before the sacred shrine, circulate this victory, correctly estimate the cost it was for these men to stand up and up for a despised people, yet who were worthy, peaceable and defenseless, be ever on the job to say to your white friends everywhere and at all times something good about these giant oaks among the small and spineless pines. Women Clubs and other societies of whatever kind and nature spread peace, harmony and prosperity among ours and theirs during this yuletide period by ever commending these men. Servant men and women speak to your employers, porters talk to the passengers and let the world know that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Do not let us forget that you have a Townsend, a Rev. Over, Rev. Pope Father Brown, Gross and an Alice Webb, Lizzie Froman and Ida DePriest. Mrs. Alice Webb has done more to cause respectable attention to be paid to Negro womanhood by honest white men than anyone or any single thing. She made a valiant fight before the Couacil, she spoke strongly and with force wherever and whenever we visited the commissioners and State Official privately. The Star is proud of the work and keen interest shown by all our women. We presented a united front to the enemy and swept lines before us. Too much cannot be said of W. B. Townsend his iron nerve and his ability to do. While we are passing flowers around don't forget the part the Star played and remember if you believe in this kind of journalism, get us subscribers and advertisers. We cannot tell it all in this issue. The fight has only begun. We have gone our limit, as we close down the play, now it is up to the legal machinery to back up our action.

Negroes Stop "Birth of a Nation." Force Play Into Court. Philadelphia, Pa. An experiment that is being watched with much interest is the grafting of a part of the bone from an amputated leg of a Negro boy to the fractured leg of a white man, which fracture had refused to knit properly. This operation was performed at the Cooper Hospital. where Alfred Menoken, a Negro boy of eleven, wounded by a gunshot so that a leg had to be amputated, and John Hyde, a white man of fifty-six, with a fractured leg occupied beds in the same ward. The refusal of Hyde's leg to respond to the usual treatment puzzled the surgeons and they finally decided to try the plan of grafting the bone from the Negro's amputated leg to that of the white man's fractured leg.

White Man Sentenced for Rape on Negro Girl. Philadelphia, Pa., - Two years and six months was the sentence imposed on Daniel McDouglad, white, 42nd Callowhill streets, by Judge Davis McDougald's crime was a felonious assault on Edith Hayward, 14 years old, a little Negro girl living at 415 Holly street. Golf Course for Colored. Atlanta City,-A golf course to be exclusively controlled by wealthy Negroes of Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York is to be laid out just north of the boundary line of Pleasantville, midway between the two golf courses supported by Atlantic City. B. F. Garrison, of Fleasantville, is supervising the creating of the ninehole course, and today said that there was sufficient interest in the plans to assure it of financial success. It will be located in Douglass City. A clubhouse, with private baths and cafe, will be erected. Great Beauty in Africa. A. K. Kumm, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London, speaking at the City Club luncheon upon "The Wealth of Africa," said he doubted if the white race Blake historian & Nab ural History Booklet FIVE CENTS A COPY. would ever be able to take Africa from the Africans. The colored race in America, he said, was drawn from the poorest African stock, while in the central portion of Africa were races of powerful men. If the American Negro could produce a Booker T. Washington, he said, there was no telling how great a leader might spring from those central tribes. Dr. Kumm said that Africa produced one-third of the world's gold and that there were undeveloped gold fields in almost all parts of the continent, together with copper and tin mines. He said the Nuban women were among the most handsome women on earth and that the Central African's sense for music was far beyond that of Americans or Europeans. African's Wonder at Whites Bishop Hartzell, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has recently returned from a tour of the mission fields of his Church in Africa. During the past eight months he has been in territory in which martial law was in effect, and therefore he had an opportunity of observing the effects of the present war in Europe, both upon the people and upon mission work in that country. On the edge of the desert near Biskra, Bishop Hartzell and Bishop Anderson witnessed a strange sight when several hundred Mohammedans prayed for the success of the Allies naming England, Russia and France. In this region the Moslems sympathize with the Arabic rather than the Turkish leadership if the followers of the prophet. The Turks stand with Germany, while the Arabs look for restoration of leadership thru the success of the Allies. The feeling between Germans and the English is increasing in bitterness in Africa, and all the horrible methods of warfare are in vogue throughout three-fourths of the continent. The state of the native mind, says Bishop Hartzell, is largely one of wonderment. Judge Orders Photo-Play to Continue withou Change. What the Negro lost thru Judge Butler's "Birth of Nation" decision, he can gain by strategy, literature, art and music. No Judge's decision can humiliate the Negro, and remember "one cannot hold another down in the ditch without staying down in the ditch with him; in helping the man to rise, the man who is up is freeing himself from a burden that would else drag him down. For the man or race that is down there is alwaothing to be gained." We comment next week. Church News: BETHLEHEM BAPV/ST CHURCH. 3148 Lafayette. Prone Y 7647. REV. A. E. REYNOLDS, PASTOR.

MISS BEATRICE LEWIS. maker, 1339 Glipin St. --- DILIGENT WORKER FOR METHODISM Fine Record of Dr. J. C. Caldwell as a Minister. POPULAR WITH THE MASSES How the Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League Has Increased the Membership of This Department of the A. M. E. Church—May Be Elevated to the Episcopacy. Nashville, Tenn.—No department of the African Methodist Episcopal church will receive more attention at the general conference, which meets in Philadelphia in May, 1916, than the Allen Christian Endeavor league, of which the Rev. J. C. Caldwell, D. D., is the corresponding department of the A. M. E. church is devoted to the religious training of the young people of the denomination. Dr. Caldwell was born in Chapel Hill, N. C., but in his youth his parents moved to Philadelphia, where he got his foundation for an education. He attended the public schools of Philadelphia, graduating from the manual training school. He felt that he was called to the work of the gospel ministry, and with that end in view he made ample preparation. He was licensed as a local preacher by the Rev. J. M. Palmer, presiding elder in the Philadelphia annual conference. He took up the study of oratory and elocution in the National School of Elocution and Oratory in Philadelphia under Professor J. W. Shoemaker. In this line his ability asserted itself, and many were the predictions made concerning his future which have come true. Later he entered Wilberforce university with the determination to further P. prepare himself for his life's work. He studied diligently and made his classes year after year, graduating in 1896. Coming out of school, Dr. Caldwell reported to the Missouri conference, then being held at Springfield, Mo. Bishop B. T. Tanner, recognizing in the young minister rare ability, sent him to Jefferson City, Mo. It was his first real charge, but he took hold of it like one who had been in the ministry for a quarter of a century. He made many friends in his new field, serving two years, and was afterward sent to Springfield, the place where he had entered the conference. Two years were spent in Springfield, and then he was assigned to the church at Lexington, Mo. Each year the young minister made more friends, and his reputation as a minister spread throughout the state. He found the people of Independence, Mo., asking for him, so the presiding bishop assigned him to that charge, only to remain one year. Dr. Caldwell was then assigned to the largest charge in the north Missouri conference, Ebenezer A. M. E. church, St. Joseph, Mo. He went there to stay until removed by the limitation or by elevation to some other charge, and it was the latter that took him away. During the five years in St. Joseph he paid off the mortgage debt, which had been standing for some time, and then installed a pipe organ at a cost of $2,000. Many members were added to the church, and improvements were made in the church edifice. In May, 1908, Dr. Caldwell went to the general conference held in Norfolk, Vn., and was elected to his present position. He has brought it into recognition among the organizations of Christian young people throughout the denomination. He is a life trustee of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, being one of the six representatives of our race. At each session of the league he is given the highest consideration and recognition. When he was placed at the head of the Allen Endeavor league eight years ago he found 600 societies throughout the entire connection. This number has increased until now there are 4,215 societies with an approximate membership of 150,000. It is this work and the real worth of Dr. Caldwell which commend him to the next general conference to be held in May, 1914, at Philadelphia. It is expected that in recognition of his worth and work he will be elevated to the episcopacy, which will be a well earned reward. 2835 STOUT ST.

We were somewhat surprised at the feeble effort of defense made in an editorial which appeared recently in one of our daily papers of Dec. 15th, and we must take issue and say that there is no comparison between the characters or plays mentioned in this article and those race characters mentioned in the Birth of a Nation. If the scenes depicted were true of 50 years ago, they were then bad enough and of what purpose could they be now? But when we know things contained in the Birth of a Nation are not true and the enlargement on the supposed facts becomes unbearable to any race who has any feeling of pride. There is no compromise in our opinion of this play; it is outrageous in the extreme; pernicious in executive and movings; suggestive of the poisonous black domination, and has for its purpose and intent the widening of the breach and the stirring up of prejudice between the white and black races of this state and nation, making every Northerner and Westerner feel toward the Negro like the Southern feels. To keep the Negro down in the South, you must keep him down in the North, East and West. Six shows of this Birth of a Nation are designed to do the work. Had the author of this play displayed his genius in trying to lift up a down-trodden race in place of crushing them, he might have accomplished that which is pleasing in the sight of God and man. But that was not his purpose. There is no other race that history records that was brought to this country by force and enslaved for over 200 years, and now, after 50 years of freedom, show the progress we have made as a whole. Can any fair-minded person see any cause for trying to create strife among the races by such a play? We agree there is no race issue in Denver, but we do not agree with the idea that such plays will not cause race issues wherever presented. The Negro fought, bled and died for his liberty and since the Civil war has ever been loyal to the American flag, the emblem of his adopted home, making of himself a good citizen and a brave soldier. Can the editor say the same for the yellow man he pictures in his editorial? "Be not deceived; whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap." Vengeance is mine. I will repay, saieth the Lord. So beware, lest you be weighed in the scale and found wanting. The play is a disgrace to American civilization and like all others of its kind should be suppressed. Since writing the above, Judge Butler has enjoined the city fathers from regulating photo plays in Denver play houses. His broad decision permits them to do any and all things which might conflict with the ordinance and the city is without redress. This race play ordinance is void under his sweeping order. A precedent has been established and a way is open for the production of A. P. A., Catholic, Jewish and Irish photos which reflect upon race and religion. NOTICE TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS.

Jackson of Los Angeles, Calif. Miss Harris is one of Denver's best production and made a brilliant record while at Wilberforce, Ohio, and at East Denver high school. She graduated from both schools and, equipping herself for a business life, was soon called to fill the positions as bookkeeper and secretary to some of the best business men of Brainbridge, Miss. At Jackson, Miss, she held responsible places of trust and honor for two years.

Mr. Conway (Punch) Bass, one of the old timers in the district, who had been sick for some time, departed this life on Saturday, Dec. 4th. Mr. Bass had been employed at the Doctor bar in Cripple Creek for several years before taking ill and was well thought of by all who knew him. The funeral was from Thompson & Claypool's chapel. The Rev. J. C. Carter, a friend of long standing, officiated, assisted by Rev. Pool. Mrs. E. Smithy and Mrs. L. Stevens rendered several solos and duets. Mrs. Smithy sang "He Will Take Care of Me." which was in accord with the last wishes of the deceased. Mr. Bass leaves a wife and a host of friends to mourn his demise. This paper joins in extending to the bereaved wife our sincere sympathy. Mrs. John Chambers, Mrs. Hal Clay and little Hal Clay are reported as being indisposed at this writing. Mrs. Fred Hopkins, who was injured by a street car some time ago, is somewhat better at the present time. Quite a number of Victor people were in Cripple Creek to attend the funeral of Mr. Conway Bass on Monday, Dec. 6th.

When your good is evil spoken of, when your wise, your taste offended, your advice disregarded, all patiently, in loving silence—that is Victory. When you never care to record your own good day after commendation, when you can truly love to that is Victory.

But you are prepared for every emergency if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's Liniment handy. It is the greatest pain killer ever discovered. Simply laid on the skin—no rubbing required—it drives the pain away. It is really wonderful. Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal., writes: "Last Saturday, after tramping around the Panama Exposition with wet feet, I came home with my neck so stiff that I couldn't turn. I applied Sloan's Liniment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, next morning the stiffness had almost disappeared; four hours after the second Mrs. R. M. Blakey of the De Luxe is better.

One of the oldest and most respected citizens died last Thursday afternoon at 3 p. m. at the hospital where he underwent a serious operation. Mr. Fountain was an honorable citizen, a heavy taxpayer and an untring worker in his lodge, Arapahoe No. 2936, G. U. O. O. F. He had been in Denver for more than a quarter of a century and everybody who knew him soon learned to admire his frugal habits and ambitions to accomplish something for his family. His business sagacity, his open-heartedness and his powerful influence politically made him such a potent factor that white people far and near listened to and acted upon his advice and information. The business world will miss his presence in the many financial and other enterprises he was in will feel his loss. Mr. Fountain was always eager to help the race. Denver lost one of her strongest citizens and his loss will be felt by all. Sunday afternoon at 3 p. m. Shorter's church was packed and jammed with his friends and acquaintances. A very impressive service was witnessed, Reverends Pope and Washington officiating. His many floral designs only bespeak mildly of his numerous friends. The Star deeply sympathizes with the bereaved family and extends its tender sympathies in this hour of sorrow. May his ashes rest in peace. We desire to sincerely thank all the friends and acquaintances who gave such beautiful flowers and floral tokens. Especial thanks is given to all those who were so mindful and tender toward our Edward Fountain during his sickness and demise. (Signed) MRS. EDWARD FOUN- TAIN and SON. W. E.

Phone Main 7702 FIRST FEMALE POET OF THE COLORED RACE IN AMERICA Phillis Wheatley Was Clever Writer of Verse Over Century Ago. By JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." Yonkers, N. Y.—Not so many of our people are familiar with the wonderful intellectual powers of Phillis Wheatley, the slave girl of Massachusetts, whose poems attracted international attention nearly a century and a half ago, as should be. Her poems and letters include many verses which do not appear in the 1773 edition, together with a collection of her letters, charmingly phrased, addressed to different friends of hers on various topics. Of this edition only ninety-five copies have been printed, and the plates destroyed. Each of the three volumes is adorned with a handsome steel engraving of Phillis and is printed on Alexander Japan paper. A bibliography of her writings by Charles Fred Heartmann deals particularly with her writings and her history up to the period of her death. Many pages of her unpublished poems are reproduced in facsimile, and many of her fragmentary poems which had appeared in the newspapers and magazines of the day are here for the first time published in one volume. Her poem to Washington is printed in full, together with Washington's letter to her acknowledging its receipt and his thanks to "one so favored by the muses," etc. In this poem occurs a stanza which, it would seem, entitles her to be called the first to proclaim him the Father of His Country—"first in war," etc. The idea has been adopted and used by others, but Philips conceived it. These are the lines: Thee first in place and honors; we demand The grace and glory of thy martial band. But Phillis Wheatley, while she enjoyed the distinction and, worthily so, of being the first poetess of North America and the only woman of any race on this continent so recognized and acknowledged, had a friendly rival and admirer in the person of Jupiter Hammon, a Negro belonging to Joseph Lloyd of Queens, village of Long Island, who, on behalf of himself and a number of his friends, presented her with an address, a poem of twenty-one verses, of which the following excerpts therefrom will give the reader a pretty clear idea of what was back of the Negro's mind in those days. Hammon was a full grown man, and his fragmentary verses have never been collected. This poem appeared in one of the continental papers of the period and was published at Hartford, Conn. Aug. 4, 1773. Note the salutation of the gallant poet: "Miss Phillis, pray give leave to ex press as follows: Oh, come, you pious youth, adore The wisdom of thy God In bringing thee from distant shore To learn his holy word — Ephesians xlh Psalm cxxvv. Fair wisdom's ways are paths of peace And they that walk therein Shall walk therein Shall reap the joys that never cease, And Christ shall be their king —Psalm 1, 12; Proverbs 1, 7. Each verse of this interesting poem of Hammon is a Scriptural reference showing that he was a man well versed in the Bible and understood how to apply its teachings. The warmth and fervor of the address also show that, unlike some modern poets and authors, he wasn't jealous of Phillis' popularity as a poetess. The third volume of this rare collection of Wheatleyana is a broadside of many pages, containing in facsimile the title pages of every edition of Phillis' poems published in America and elsewhere, some forty-five or more in all, which is strong proof of her popularity as a writer of clever verse during the Revolutionary period. The Negro race owes much to Charles Frederick Heartmann, who has not brought out these books to make money, but primarily to establish the fact, which American writers have been loath to admit, that a black woman of the Revolutionary period was the only and greatest poetess America had produced. POLITICS IN OKLAHOMA. United States Circuit Court Confirms Conviction of Election Officials. The constitution of the United States and the war amendments thereto prescribe the manner by which citizens of the United States may exercise the right of franchise. All male citizens of the United States twenty-one years of age, native born or naturalized, may exercise the right to vote unless such right shall have been forfeited by them for cause as stated in the law. Notwithstanding the clearness of the national law on this point many thousands of citizens, both white and colored, in the United States are not permitted to cast their ballot at election times. Therefore the confirmation by the United States circuit court of appeals of the conviction of Frank Guinn and J. J. Beal, election officials in Kingfisher county, Okla., on Oct. 8 for conspiracy to prevent colored men from voting by enforcing the Oklahoma "grandfather clause" is a big victory for national honor and citizenship rights the country over.

ECHOES OF RECENT MEETING District Grand Lodge Secretary P. A. Richardson Makes Glowing Report of Money Received For His Department. Fine Condition of the Order Cause For Great Enthusiasm. By GEORGE F. KING. Nashville, N. C.-The glowing reports of the grand lodge officers of the recent district grand lodge No. 7 of North Carolina, G. U. O. of O. F., held in Raleigh, and the contest between Raleigh and Durham to secure the magnificent $70,000 temple the grand lodge is going to erect are among the concrete evidences of progress among our people in the Old North State. The most conspicuous evidence of the Negro's ability to manage large constructive movements by starting with limited finance was exhibited in the report of District Endowment Secretary P. A. Richardson of this town. Being splendidly endowed with the qualities essential to lead his people in such movements, and being one of the most progressive and energetic laymen in the A. M. E. church, and having become a leading business factor in his community, the grand lodge, representing a membership of 16,000, has paid Mr. Richardson a fitting tribute at each annual session for placing his department on a substantial basis. Mr. Richardson, by judicious management, keeping his finger tips on every detail of his business and strictly honest methods, has become a "native M. B. ideal" for our people in this section. He has shown how the Negro can become a factor in the south, especially in North Carolina, and by his example many of our people are succeeding in the rural districts. The endowment department of the Odd Fellows in this jurisdiction up to the year 1908, at which time Mr. Richardson was elected to redeem it from its deployable plight, apparently had failed to meet the purposes for which it was launched, and it required a man peculiarly fitted for the task of rehabilitating this department. Mr. Richardson started out with a cash balance of $34.93 and with an indebtedness in this department of over $10,000 of unpaid claims and borrowed moneys and also with a policy in force for $100 which required two years to mature. During the administration of Mr. Richardson the above liabilities have been paid, current expenses kept up. over $1,000 put in office fixtures, etc. and carrying a policy of $200. Through his keen business perception and sagacity he has saved the fraternity over $90,000.

FRIEND OF YOUNG FOLKS. Native Son of Tuscaloosa, Ala., Is Always Eager to Serve His Comrades. One of the Best Posted Men In His State—Close Student and a Musical Genius. Tuscaloosa, Ala.—Sixteen years president of the State Baptist Young People's union convention of Alabama and fifteen years teacher in the public school of Tuscaloosa, Ala., is the record of Professor Benjamin H. Barnes, A.M., one of the most noted educators in the south and a man of rare ability. In the case of Professor Barnes meit alone has been his guide and the cause of his promotion from time to time and has placed him in the front rank among the young people in this section of the country. He has made his way in his own home town because it was in this place where he was born and it was here where he got his foundation for an education, and he owes much of his inspiration and progress to his father, Professor Jeremiah Barnes, one of the oldest educators in the south and who has been principal of the school here for many years. That is, Professor Barnes started the educational work among the people in this section of the country, and, while he was not principal of the school at the opening, yet he has held that position for twenty-five years, and he had much to do with the laying of the educational foundation for his worthy son. He has taken work from the University of Chicago through correspondence and has a fine library, where he M. B. PROFESSOR B. H. BARNER spends much of his idle time in digging out information. He is regarded today as one of the best posted young men in the state. "Serve" has been his motto, and he has never lost an opportunity to serve his people or any one needing his service. He is a Christian, has been since a small boy, and has been active both in church and Sunday school. His main forte has been with the young people. They have recognized his worth by placing him at the head of their convention, where he could render good service. The First African Baptist church of Tuscaloosa knows his worth because he has for almost a quarter of a century been at the head of the Sunday school as superintendent, rendering good service. They have a well organized Sunday school, due to his work. Then, too, he has been organist of the church for nearly twenty years and is considered one of the best pipe organ men in the south. Professor Barnes is considered a musical genius in Alabama. His talent has been used for the development of his young people. He is serving his church and his race, placing the racha needs first. In everything that tends to develop and uplift the race this young man takes an active part. He is connected with a number of fraternal societies and benevolent organizations and is active in them all. During the summer, while not in the schoolroom, he devotes his time to the insurance business, being connected with the Union Central Relief company of Birmingham. He is kept busy all the time. He is manager of the Tuscaloosa office. Many honors have been given him in his state and his native home. Two years ago Selma university recognized his worth in the literary world by conferring on him the degree of master of arts, one well merited by the young educator. The First African Baptist church is indeed, a large church. Professor Barnes is one of the trustees and was chairman of the building committee when a structure at a cost of $25,000 was erected by them. Not only is he the secretary of the trustee board and financial secretary of the church, but he is one of the deacons as well in fact, he is in everything that mean progress for that church and his people. He has assisted a large number of young people through school. His Mistake. Customer—That was the driest, flatest sandwich I ever tried to chew into! Walter—Why, here's your sandwich!
