MR. CLARENCE HOLMES
A Young Man of Promise.
In the fall of 1913, a young man left his home city among the rocks—Denver, "The Queen City" to enter Howard University. This young man is Mr. Clarence Holmes, 322 T. St., N. W. Mr. Holmes had graduated with honors at the Denver High School, and was expected by many to enter The University of Colorado. He felt, however, that all of his school life should not be spent in a mixed school so he decided, even after considering the cost, to come to Howard University, the leading Negro institution of learning in the world, to take his college and medical course. Mr. Holmes has made for himself a very enviable record as a Howard student, and has won a warm place in the hearts of his school-mates. His remarkable business ability was soon recognized. In his freshman year he was elected assistant manager of the University Glee Club, and
port which he gave the manager that the Club was able to make trips to large cities thru out the East. The next year he became manager. Under him the Glee Club was given singular recognition as a university activity. The Freshmen made him manager of their foot ball team. His team outplayed their opponents but lost on a fluke. For his efforts, however, Mr. Holmes was rewarded with one of the assistant managerships of the of the University Foot Ball Team. As a result of his attainments as a student, his gentlemanly qualities, and his congenial disposition, Mr. Holmes was welcomed among the fellows of the Omega Psi Phi College Fraternity. As a member he has been twice elected business manager of this organization. In every instance he has been true to his trust.
The business qualities of Mr. Holmes has been for him a recommendation. When thr North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association—the largest negro insurance company in the world—wanted a University representative for the District of Columbia, Mr. Holmes proved himself to be the best fitted for the responsibilities of the position He has succeeded in making many friends for this reliable concern. He has proved him self very energetic and deserving. Those who want to be written up in and old line legal reserve insurance company—a company which gives employment to so many of the young people of our race—should ring Mr. Holmes and talk it over with him. Mr. Holmes was much in evidence last Monday night at the big John Wesly meeting. He handled the Howard boys like a great military leader.

ARE WE GUILTY?
We charge white people with so many high crimes, misdemeanors, acts of oppression and repression against Colored people, that like the worm they sometimes turn and make a few charges them selves. They say for instance, "that they do not give more jobs to Colored people because of their unreliability, their laziness unless watched, and their tendency to follow the adage: If pleasure interferes with work, why cut out the work!" They claim they used to give church members the preference until they found that the average Negro simply meant an opportunity to sing loud hymns, pray long prayers, make noise and give vent to emotions. They state that the throwing open of public privileges would mean that the worst class of Colored people would patronize and abuse them just as they did years ago and that Colored people, as a mass, have no class and that they should not expect recognition until they develop sufficient intellectual, moral and financial strength to make and establish classes of their own. In short, they should learn to respect each other who are worth of respect before expecting other races to do so. Are we guilty? Are the charges true?
OLD FARMER HAD $2,000
IN ORDINARY CIGAR BOX
Clarksdale, Miss.—Deputy Sheriff Talbert was given considerable of a surprise a few days ago. An old colored farmer, accompanied by his aged wife, came into the sheriff's office and inquired as to the amount of taxes due on their small holding of farm property. The amount was in the neighborhood of $50. The old gentleman pulled out a check which had been paid to him by a well-known white planter of the Delta section, which called for $399 The sheriff's office force was stumped, not having enough money to cash toe check, so the deputy told the old man he would have to go to the bank for it, offering him a note of introduction.
"Never mind, said the old man. "I'll just pay you while I'm here, as I am in a hurry to get home. Come here, old lady, and give me that box." His wife pulled out an ordinary cigar box from under her shawl and handed it to her husband. When he opened it the eyes of the officials began to bulge. It was literally packed with bills, from a mong which he pulled a $50 note and paid his taxes.
"How much money have you in that box?" asked the Deputy Sheriff Talbert. "Oh there is only $2,000 here. I am going to stop at the bank when I leave here," at the same time refusing the deputy's request that he be allowed to count it for him.
DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DEC. 2, 1916
When the white people who judged the art, wood, paintings, needlework etc. say unreservedly that some of the display were excellent, that the exhibition showed time, study, preparation and master efficiency. The Star thinks that it can not use its columns to a better advantage than by continuing the description of the "Better Baby Contest." Better babies means better babies physically, mentally and spiritually, in other words a sound mind in a sound body with sound inherent prenatal conditions. Our well experienced and well equipped physicians, Doctors Justina L. Ford, and J. H. P. Westbrook who examined 56 and Dr. C. D. DeFrantz who examined 4 were the doctors in charge. Examina-
REV. D. L. OVER
tions were made of the lungs, testing their respiratory organs, of the heart, testing the strength; of the nose for adenoids; of the tonsils, the gateway for diseases of the throat, such as scarlet fever, diptheria etc.; their measurement of the head, arms, chest also the weight of the body were taken to see if the babies were up to the standard for their ages. Nothing like this has ever been put in practice, so far as we know among our people in the United States. The New York Age conducted a baby contest using photographs and other cities have used various methods of determining their contests but none have gone to the pains-taking efforts in making a thoroid medical and physical examination of the baby such as was conducted at Zion last Friday afternoon and evening benefitting the parent and child.
These official medical records will help the mother to guard her child from all diseases to which its little body may be susceptible. White people have held such better baby contests but none have occured among Negroes, and it was for that reason that Drs. Ford and Westbrook had to set their own standard because we have so many different kinds of babies of all colors made up of all races with their many variations.
The task was no easy one to equalize and standardize Negro babies. No small amount of credit is due our physicans who so freely gave of their time, talent and labor to the success and benefit of Denver. When we think of the mind that planned it, the heart that conceived it, the hands and soul which worked out the plans, and the great amount of good done to our community, mentally, spiritually, financially, industrially and racially Rev. D. E. Over looms up bigger in Denver's horizon of things actually done.
The appreciative prizes given by him will only serve as a silent and quiet reminder of the Zion's Golden Jubilee. The following displays were given awards:
MILLINERY EXHIBIT; Mrs. Esther Morris (Judges failed to sign their names); ART CLUBS NEEDLE WORK: Taka Art Club, First prize, XXth Century Art Club, Second prize; BEST INDIVIDUAL PIECE: Mrs. Elizabeth Young, First prize, Mrs. Sarah Fletcher, Second prize, Mesdames Pugh, Story and Sweet (white) Judges; SCALP SPECIALIST: Mrs. Shelburn, First prize; Mrs. McGuire.

Youngest Pastor Wins Victory. Rev. Williams Sets Church on Fire with Strong Sermon. T. S. Clinkscale Leads All.
At his first charge and in his first rally, the youngest pastor in the city, Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer, won a signal success at Scott Church Sunday when he raised $517.co after a campaign of six weeks by a membership of sixty people and not all of them working. It was a great day at Scott's when Reverends Williams of Shorter and Ward of Campbell both A. M. E. Churches. and Rev. Hazel of the Presbyterian Church all joined hands and made Rally day at Scott Church true in word and deed. Shorter can feel very proud of her "new" minister who is already "old" in Denver, because of his countless friends and acquaintances he has made. He is thoroly prepared for the gospel and can well handle Shorter. He preaches a strong and uncompromising gospel cutting right and left and leaving an impression wherever he goes, with acclamation of "Amen" and "preach the gospel" Revs. Ward and Hazel were there supported by their members. Money came by letter, messenger boys and in pennies and greenbacks. It was Scott's biggest accomplishment yet, because the church is made up mostly of women and they are widows.
The great unselfish sacrifice, they made can only be told in the captain's report which are as follows: T. S. Clinkscale, chairman of Board of Trustees and Captain of club No. 1, $134.00; Capt. Geo G. Ross, $62.48; Capt. Eli Burrel, $51.50; Capt. L. H. Lightner, $82.65; Capt. T. A. Cox, $68.55; Capt. Geo. W. Anderson, $46.50; Capt. Roy E. Maxwell, $48.00; Public collection $10.75; Pastor, $12.75; Total $517.48.
This great sum made the Pastor, Rev. Sawyer, run over to the Y. M. C. A. and all out of breath, exclaimed "We have done it! We have done it! We have done it", and of course the Y. M. C. A. Secretary unimformed of the successful rally, grew pale because he did not know what "we" have done; until finally he thought of Scott's rally. Now Mr. Bell says he hopes to say the same thing Dec. 7th at Shorter at the Pipe Organ recital. Mrs. Hattie Booker, of Shoshone. Wyo. sent $5.00 to help out club No. 4 which saved the day for Mr. Maxwell. There being such a close difference between captains Maxwell and Anderson of 22 cents that the green suit will not be worn by anybody. The Pastor and all the Captains thank their many friends for such able support.

RETRIBUTION.
Our contributing editor, Dr Wm. A. Byrd, has an exceptionally strong leader in this issue of The Gazette. It will bear the most careful and thoughtful reading. His suggestion of a real national race organization, for the purpose stated, is excellent and should be acted upon promptly by our best men. It is, and has been for years, a crying need of vital importance of the race. His reference to the election in the South, reminds us that there was no legal election for electors and members of Congress in the nine or ten states of that section, that have disfranchisement 'laws'. No state has the power under the U. S. constitution to so abridge the privilege of voting (for federal officials, and yet the South has done so IN EFFECT even if it has accomplished this in an unconstitutional manner. The very thing that estopped the Republican party, for the many years it controlled the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government and had the power to enforce the part of U. S. constitution bearing on this very thing, is the very thing that prevents Judge Charles Evans Hughes and the leaders of the party today from even contesting President Woodrow Wilson's alleged re election. An additional reason, of course, would be that the three co ordinate branches of the government are now in the hands of the Democrats, southern Democrats, many of whom are exrebels. Over a million African Republicans and nearly half as many white Republicans, in the South, are illegally deprived of the privilege of voting for electors and members of Congress by the unconstitutional disfranchisement "laws" of nine or ten southern states. And the Republican party has lost the presidency, this time, because they have failed for so many years to do their clear duty in this matter. RETRIBUTION! —Cleveland Gazette

Zion's Golden Jubilee, with its week of splendid activities, attained a success far beyond our most sanguine expectations. It must go down in history not as a church activity, nor merely as the incidental celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of a great organization, but a great community and racial enterprise which attracted the attention and secured the active cooperation of the entire people. The array of exhibits, including almost every conceivable line of art, craft and handiwork to be found among a civilized people, produced a real sensation in Denver, and in response a continuous stream of amazed and delighted visitors made up of every rank in the city's life. And from the multimillionaire to the most humble citizen, the wonder was that colored people had either the time or the talent to produce such artistic and beautiful work. Oil paintings, water colors, china decorations, plain sewing, fancy evening gowns, millinery, art needle-work, cabinet work, bric-a-brac, displays of hair work, scalp specialists, manicurists, etc., literally lined the walls and packed every available corner in our spacious Sunday School auditorium and class rooms. It was a wonderful week; a week of intense interest and high inspiration, brought to a fitting climax by the baking and better baby contests. The program of each evening was of the highest order and attracted, in spite of some bad weather, record crowds. Space forbids a recital showing in detail this amazing affair. The closing day, Sunday, the 26th, was a high day. The masterly Jubilee sermon, preached by Dr. E. W. Moore, Columbus, Ohio, was a captivating effort of oratory, eloquence and spiritual power which set the great congregation aflame. As a result four persons gave themselves to the Lord. The first Sunday, the 19th, the fiftieth anniversary sermon was delivered by Dr. John E. Ford, another former pastor of Zion. The Golden Jubilee offering amounted to $350.00. Next week we will publish the list of prizes won.

A concert that will hold the interest of Denver's community will be the Pipe Organ Recital given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at Shorter chapel, Thursday, Dec. 7, 1916. The program, which has been given much consideration, will consist of a number of delightful numbers which will appeal to the most critical. Mr. Valaurez Spratlin, the organist, is one of Denver's own products. Mr. Spratlin was born and educated in Denver and has been a pupil of the finest music teachers of this city. He is a brilliant pianist as well as an organist.
Miss Helen Minnis, who will assist, is also a musical of ability. Miss Minnis is a graduate of the Department of Music of the Western University and is the possessor of a very sweet soprano voice. Mr. Morgan Jackson, Denver's lyric tenor, will contribute a number on the program, which will prove to be very entertaining. Mr. Jackson is well known in Denver's musical circles. He has even had the privilege of entertaining some of the "royalty." The Olinger Quartette, a well known musical organization, has kindly consented to contribute to the program. This quartette is composed of some of the best singers in the state. All patrons please be seated by 8:15, as the ushers will seat no one during the numbers of the program.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES8.
The union meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. that was held at Zion Baptist church last Sunday afternoon, was a huge address. A short address was given by Dr. Ford of Florida.

On Monday evening we had the pleasure of having a very interesting speaker at our club in the person of Miss Ward, formerly secretary of the Y. W. C. A. at Shanghai, China. She told us of the progress of the work in China and explained several Chinese customs. The Y. W. C. A. is a very successful undertaking in China and is growing rapidly there.

HAMPTON DEFEATS UNION.
Team From University at Richmond Va., Outclassed In Football Game.
By LAWRENCE A. LEE
And there is another victory hanging to the Hampton football machine On Friday, Nov. 3, the Hampton and Union football squads met on the Hampton institute gridiron with the following results:
The game started by Union kicking off to Hampton. The kick was received by J. H. Harvey, the silk quarterback, and brought up the field for thirty yards. Both teams lined up fast and charged like fiends. Captain Dorsey swept around right end for fifteen yards on the second down.
Union tightened up, holding Hampton for the fourth down. Dorsey punted from the center of the field over Union's goal line. The ball was then brought out to the twenty yard line and put into play. Both teams fought desperately, for the ball was at this time in Hampton's territory. Union fumbled twice before the fourth down, but luck was with the state capital boys, and one of their men covered the pikskin each time.
Hucles "breezed around" Hampton's end, making a good gain; but a piece of the blue and white machinery struck him, causing him to be lame the rest of the game. Despite his game leg, Hucles attempted to punt, but Charlie Dick, lightning tackle, was always on the job to block the ball. The second quarter opened with Union over the ball. During the greater part of this quarter the teams played from one end of the gridiron to the other. Hampton's center, Red Dulley, became ferocious and began to go over Union's line, picking off the quarterback before he could pass the ball.
The greatest feature of this duffler was the twenty yard forward pike by Hampton from Harvey to Dorsey, which caused the first touchdown. The university boys then lined up under the goal with grim faces, but Dorsey failed to kick the goal, so their faces became covered with smiles again. The touchdown by Hampton didn't take any of the courage out of the Union aggregation. The Union team came back and fought harder than they had previously fought.
Hampton kicked off to Union. The catch was made by Gregory, who substituted in Hucles' position. The most exciting time of the game was at hand, for Gregory came through Hampton's line like lightning for sixty yards. Union began to gain through Hampton's line and reached within five yards of their goal after several plays, but on the fourth down there came a fumble which caused Union to fall back nearly ten yards. The end of the first half was at hand, with Hampton ahead. The second half began by Union kicking to Hampton. This third quarter brought great joy to the visitors, for it was in this quarter that they outplayed the seaside machine, making their first touchdown. They failed, however, to kick goal. The rest of the quarter was spent in playing up and down the field.
The fourth quarter opened with the ball in Hampton's pasture. After several line plays Harvey tried one of his famous passes to Mundy, who substituted for Meadows. Mundy made a sensational catch, gaining fifteen yards. Hampton again plunged Union's line until they were within three yards of the goal. Union was off side and was penalized, causing Hampton to get another touchdown. Dorsey failed to kick goal. Toward the last of the quarter Hampton was within thirty yards of their goal when Harvey drop kicked one over the bar. The quarter ended, giving Hampton's great machine a victory over the visitors to the lane of 15 to 6.
A great deal of credit is due to Captain Dorsey, Red Rabney, Rigney and Dixon of Hampton; also to Gregory, Captain Puryear, Thompson and Watts of Union. Hurcles is always to be remembered when a kicking argument arises.

HALL'S RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT
NOTED FOR SCHOLARSHIP
States In Various Sections of America Bear Testimony to Estseem In Which Name of Ernest Hall Is Held—Now Pastor of Liberty Baptist Church In Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ga.—Ernest Hall, as he is affectionately called by thousands of people in every section of the country, has had an interesting career from poverty to competency. Born in the state of Missouri forty-five years ago of former slave parents on the banks of the "Father of Watera," the fifth son of William and Annie Hall, he early showed a passion for books and learning that is seldom seen in one of his years.
His parents were too poor to buy him all the books he needed as he attended the common school in his home town. So he had to borrow a book from first one and then another of his playmates to enable him to keep up with his classes, at the head of which he stood for many years. Realizing
M. B.
DR. BENNET HALL.
that his home town or village did not offer adequate educational advantages to satisfy him, he was permitted to leave home, at an age considered much too young by parents of this day, to go to Quincy, Ill., where he worked during the day and attended school at night for ten years, graduating from the oldest higher educational institution in the state. He also took a business course and read law in the office of one of the greatest law firms in the state.
For fourteen years Ernest found employment with the Tenk Hardware company of Quincy. Henry Tenk, the president, has said many a time that he was thoroughly trustworthy and was trusted implicitly in all the relations of his extensive business.
Leaving the employ of the firm referred to above. Ernest went to Peoria, Ill., where he entered the Christian ministry and was ordained by the Mount Pisgah Baptist church of Bloomington, Ill. It would take a page to tell of all his educational ventures, covering thirty years.
Beginning his pastoral labors at DuQuoin, Ill., where he built up the church and drew a salary three times as large as any one ever drew who served there before him, he blazed the way for other good men to follow him. Upon leaving there he went to Bloomington, where he remained for many years with the church that ordained him and left because his mother died there. But few men in any age have been attached to their mothers as was Ernest Hall.
While living at Springfield Dr. W. H. Hill of Pittsburgh telegraphed him to come to Pittsburgh to see him on a matter of pressing business. While there he preached for the Trinity Baptist church to fill an engagement for Dr. Hill, who was sick at this time, and the church would not let him return home until it had a promise from him that he would become its pastor. This church paid him more money than it had ever paid any other pastor and did not owe him a cent when he said goodbye to the congregation in June of this year.
Upon the first Sunday in July of this year he took charge of the Liberty Baptist church of Atlanta, Ga., amid the joyful acclaim of a joyful church and city. Liberty church is paying him a larger salary to begin with than any other man has ever drawn at any time during its history. With the coming of this man to this church two mighty forces have united for the extension of the kingdom of God. Ernest Hall is one of the best preachers, with one of the best minds for preaching, the race has produced. He has a long list of degrees, most of them from white schools. He possesses the finest library of any man of the race.
Dr. Hall is one of the oldest if not the oldest eye doctor in the race. The history of the Baptists of the race cannot be written without giving promence to his name. Happy is the church that can secure his services and happy the man who can call him "my friend."

LABOR DRIFT FROM SOUTH.
Natural Outcome of Desire For Better Conditions and Protection
Constitution and Procedure
The latest figures on the number of colored persons who have left the south within the past six months is given as 118,000. Ninety-five per cent are men ranging in age from eighteen to fifty. This large number is scattered in the following named states: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, West Virginia and Connecticut. The majority of these are from Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama. As a natural result of this great exodus of laborers the industries of the states from which they come must suffer.
The big farmers are at their wits' end to cope with the situation. Especially is this true in the cotton belt sections of the south. This growing unrest among the colored people to better their condition, however, is no new thing to the thousands of white people in the different sections of the south, who are accustomed to employing colored people as farm hands and the like. They have long known that whenever the opportunity presented itself these people would take advantage of it to better their condition as to wages, environment, facilities for education and protection from mob violence, which has come to be like a national game of athletics, indulged in at will.
The reports of the bureau of immigration of the department of labor show that during the fiscal years of 1915 and 1916 169,300 Italians returned to Italy, 2,170 Bulgarians, Servians and Montenegrins, 8,622 Germans, 18,500 subjects of Great Britain, 8,006 Frenchmen, 1,400 Roumanians, 1,000 Russians and 1,600 Japs to their native countries.
Last spring, when the business of the railroads and the mines began to prosper as they had not done before in years, the demand for unskilled labor increased rapidly. The freight congestion in and about New York caused a pressing demand for truck hands. In former years the railroads had called on Europe and Asia for extra supplies. Labor agents and steamship companies co-operated to fill orders for thousands of men for rough work. In the first half of 1910, when they could not get people from the war zone, they turned to the south and offered the colored man the chance which should have been given him years ago.
The present movement of colored labor from the cotton states of the south to the great industrial centers of the north, east and west was started by the Erie and Pennsylvania railroads in a legitimate way. The agents of these roads commenced their efforts to increase their operating forces by appealing to the federal department of labor's distribution office, connected with the division of information. The roads took advantage of Secretary Wilson's plan to land the "jobless man" in the "manless job." The first call was made on Florida and Georgia. It was made known at Jacksonville and Savannah that these two great roads would pay 22 cents an hour, seven days a week, and use the men overtime, and the exodus began in earnest.

A FEW PLURALS.
POLLARD GREATESTHALFBACK
Brown University Player Has Wonderful Record on Gridiron This Season.
When the 1916 football season has drifted into the easily dimmed and more easily forgotten past of sporting events; when things that are still unread from Time's unturned pages and football heroes of the past have had the nebulous haze of glory which encircles them dimmed a little more; even after managers of the various football teams shall have been terribly mangled in the terrible crush to claim championships the present year will not be devoid of its gridiron stars.
But from among the vast horde of men who have chased the pigskin on gridirons from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and from the gulf of Mexico to the great lakes there is one young athlete who must be hailed as the peer of any of the men who now occupy niches in the football hall of fame.
Fred D. Pollard, a dusky skinned young American, halfback on the Brown team and particularly bright luminary of the Brunonian eleven, is the man. Practically single handed the young colored boy has beaten Yale and Harvard on successive afternoons on their own fields. He has been the backbone of the hammering attack which has brought Brown through a tough season with an unbroken string of victories. He plays football because he likes it, and his quiet department, grit and stamina, coupled with his remarkable ability, have forced crowds at both New Haven and Cambridge, sorrowful in defeat, to stand up and acclaim him as he left the field.
Pollard is now in his second year at Brown, having matriculated there last year from Lane Technical high

FRED D. POLLARD.
school, Chicago. It is said that before entering Brown Pollard went up and looked around Dartmouth, where his brother had played football some years ago. His mind was not made up on what school he would attend, although he had decided that it would be either Dartmouth or Brown. He finally decided on Brown, much to the sorrow of Yale and Harvard men, not to mention the sons of various other colleges.
There is no hint that Pollard came to Brown through any persuasion because of his athletic ability, and this is said because sometimes there have been hints of proselytizing in the case of other star athletes. Sure enough he played scholastic football, and played well, for three years while a student in Lane Tech, but he was not an outstanding star. He came to Brown unknown and made no talk of even trying for the football team.
As a matter of fact, none of the coaches or men interested in football up at the Providence university knew that the quiet young colored boy knew anything about football. They did know that in his spare time he used to come out and watch the practice; but, then, pretty nearly every other student does the same thing.
The first inking the coaches had that he knew anything about the game was last year, a month after the practice season had started. One day Pollard came out to the field and asked the head coach if he might don a uniform and come out for practice. The coach asked Pollard if he had ever played the game, and Pollard told of his high school experience. As a result Pollard came out that day and every day thereafter and finished the season as one of the stars of the team.
It is not all football and hurrah for Pollard. With him it is a case of dropping the flation to be dropped on the gridiron. You see, Pollard is working his way through college and earns the money for his expenses by running a little tailor shop. The work keeps him pretty busy, and now he has another colored student helping him. Of course it may be that his business has grown through his prowess as a football player, for who would not have his trousers pressed by a man who in a week's time can press both Yale and Harvard into the flatness of defeat?

The agricultural parade will not only include an exhibition of the various activities at Tuskegee institute, but will also, by means of the various floats, show how the new economic conditions are being met by the farmers of the south.
The parade will form promptly at 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning and after making a circle of the principal thoroughfares at the institute will conclude its march near the chapel, where the various floats will then be on exhibition. After the parade the visitors and delegates will be escorted through the various industrial and agricultural departments, where demonstrations and exhibitions of interest and instruction will be held.
From 12:15 to 1 lunch will be served the visiting farmers and friends, and after lunch the conference proper will open in the chapel with a brief address by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal. Expressions upon the life of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington and reports from local conferences will occupy important places on the program before the meeting is turned over to a discussion of "The New Economic Conditions Now Facing the South."
Raising cotton under boll weevil conditions, diversifying crops and live stock raising are among the many phases of complex situations involved in this new economic condition. The viewpoint of farmers, preachers, landlords, teachers, merchants and bankers upon these subjects, based upon their actual experiences, will lend first hand information, which will be of immense value in reaching some conclusions as to methods.
The conference of workers will be held in the assembly room of the Academic building, beginning Thursday morning, the 18th, at 9 o'clock, and will continue till 4 with an hour's intermission for lunch. The subjects for discussion in the morning are: "Health Improvement For Efficiency," "Food as a Factor In Health," "The National Health Week Movement as an Aid to Better Health Conditions."
The entire afternoon session will be given over to a discussion of the control of preventable diseases. In connection with the workers' conference a special meeting will discuss the "Life and Conduct of Girls In Boarding Schools." Lady deans from fifty schools have been invited to take a part in this discussion.
The Tuskegee institute choir will sing the old time spirituals and plantation melodies.
Various national health organizations, the United States government, the Alabama state board of health and some of the largest insurance companies have been invited to send health exhibits for the conference. A special free clinic will be held at the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital during the two days' session, and many prominent specialists will be present to assist Dr. Kenney.
Charts containing valuable information regarding crop, health and living conditions are being prepared by Mr. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, to be displayed in chapel. A unique exhibition will show how Tuskegee institute is solving its own health problem. An exhibition of corn and canned goods will be held in the frame building near the chapel. Prizes will be awarded as follows: For the best corn there will be three premiums of $5, $3 and $2; for the best canned goods also premiums of $5, $3 and $2.
Among the persons invited to be present and speak during the conference are Mrs. G. H. Mathis, diversification agent for the Alabama Bankers' association; Bruce Kennedy, secretary of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Dowling, the famous health specialist of Louisiana; Dr. J. E. McCulloch, secretary of the Southern Sociological congress; Dr. A. M. Moyre, who is doing splendid work among the Negro rural schools of North Carolina and Editor B. J. Davis of the Atlanta Independent.
Popular Sunday School Congress. Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville Tenn., secretary of the National Baptist Sunday School congress, has begun preparations for the next annual meeting of the organization on a more elaborate scale than ever before. The popularity of the congress and the benefits received by Sunday school workers who attend the annual meeting make an early announcement of the time and place for the 1917 session very necessary.

Views of Dr. George E. Haynes on the Situation.
FACTORS IN THE MOVEMENT
Social Science Professor at Fisk University Offers Three Important Suggestions For Meeting New Conditions Caused by Influx of Colored People From the South to Border States. The views of Dr. George Edmund Haynes on the migration of colored people from the south to the border states in such large numbers are worthy of careful consideration. In his position as professor of social science at Fisk university and as the executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People Dr. Haynes is simply prepared to discuss the labor problems affecting our people.
That the movement is by no means new is shown by Haynes' article in a
P.
DR. GEORGE R. HAYNES.
recent issue of the New York Times, in which he, in part, says:
The indication of this movement since 1880 is shown by the percentage of increase of the Negro population of the following nine northern and border cities: Boston, Greater New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati, Evansville and Indianapolis, Ind.; Pittsburgh and St. Louis.
The census figures for these nine cities showed that between 1880 and 1890 the Negro population increased about 36.2 per cent, from 1890 to 1900 it increased about 74.4 per cent and from 1900 to 1910 about 37.4 per cent. In the first decade the increase was more than three times the increase of the total Negro population. In the second period it was more than four times as large and shows the influence of the economic disturbances of the periods above mentioned.
The rate of increase in the southern cities has been large, although less than that of the northern cities during the same period, indicating that similar causes were operating to draw the colored people to southern cities, although these causes were weaker than those operating in northern cities.
The causes of this movement during this longer period have been the same as those affecting the Negro population in the last few months. The only difference has been the increase in the volume of the movement because of the increase in its influencing causes. The newspaper discussion of the arrests, fines and jail commitments, restlessness of the younger generation of Negroes and political calculation may be given place as individual factors in the causes for such a movement. But a further sifting of the facts shows that at bottom the Negro is reacting toward certain fundamental conditions in a similar manner to the response of other elements in our cosmopolitan population.
There is another phase of the matter which has not seemed to find much expression in the public press, and that is the question of the best steps to take in these larger community matters. Two or three suggestions may not be out of place: First—Among the Negroes in each of these communities may be found individuals of character and intelligence who are eager to do everything they can for the advancement of their people. Public spirited white citizens may get in touch with these persons through personal contact. Second—These white and colored citizens can then best help the adjustment of the colored people by coming together in some form of joint organization with a definite purpose to benefit in the main the colored population
Third.—This organized effort may look over the field and agree upon a definite program of active work along a few lines such as the community most seems to need. This program may include a careful study of the living and working conditions of the colored people, a plan of publicity and a plan to keep, check on the conduct of public officials wherever their duties touch Negro life.
THINKING OF HER.
In the "Recollections of a New England Town" is the story of Mr. Bush, an inventor and a very studious man, who sometimes became so absorbed in thought as to forget both place and people. His wife was a notable housekeeper, but she did not always go to church. One Sunday she accompanied her husband thither, and glad and proud was he. But when the service was over he walked away home, leaving her behind. Mrs. Bush was grieved.
"My dear," she said when she reached the house, "I don't know what people will think. You came away without me. It was plain to be seen that I was entirely forgotten."
Mr. Bush looked at her in comical dismay. "Forgotten, my dear?" said he. "Oh, no. I don't think that's possible. Why," a brilliant idea striking him, "now I remember. I was thinking of you all the way home. I was thinking what a good dinner you'd give me!"

General Julian B. Carr and Other Influential White Men South and North Confer With Our Leaders at Series of Great Meetings—Plan to Better Existing Conditions.
By N. BARNETT DODSON.
Durham, N. C.—With the presidents of colleges and secondary schools and other noted educators present, the first session of the conference on education began at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 21, in the Avery auditorium of the National Training school in this city, with Principal J. A. Cotton presiding. The opening address was delivered by Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the school. In a most forceful manner Dr. Shepard outlined the plan and scope of the conference, the first of its kind held under the auspices of a single institution among our people.
The first subject on the program for discussion was "Negro School Duplication—A Remedy and a Plan." This subject was assigned to Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society. Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, principal
A. B.
DR. W. E. R. DU BOIS.
of the Daytona Training school, Daytona, Fla., discussed the subject of school duplication. The next speaker was Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, editor of the Crisis, New York. Dr. Du Bols delivered a most timely and scholarly address, which was listened to with the closest attention.
At the conclusion of Dr. Du Bols' address a general discussion of the entire plan as set forth by Dr. Shepard in the opening address and the subjects discussed by the other speakers followed. Before the session adjourned a special committee was appointed to sum up the points adduced by all of the speakers. This method was observed at the conclusion of each session. These special committees will form the commission which is to reduce the whole matter to a final workable plan and arrange it in suitable shape for publication and distribution at an early date.
The session Wednesday morning, Nov. 22, opened at 10 o'clock with Dr. W. E R. Du Bols of New York presiding. The first address delivered was that of Dr. A. M. Moore of this city, who is the secretary of the Association For Improvement of Rural Schools in the state. Professor C. H. Moore of Greensboro, N. C., spoke on the need and the remedy in relation to the subject of the first speaker. Professor Moore is state inspector of rural schools. The subjects were ably discussed, and much valuable information was gleaned from the speakers' line of argument. What the state of Texas is doing for the education of colored youth was told in a straightforward manner by Professor J. E. Clayton, principal of the Clayton Industrial school at Manor, Tex. Professor William Sutton of New Bern, N. C., discussed the need of better trained teachers for the school. A general discussion of the morning program was indulged in, and the whole matter was referred to a special committee.
The afternoon session was presided over by W. G. Pearson, principal of the Whitted High school of this city. J. B. Rendell, president of Lincoln university, started the program by a splendid interpretation of the subject, "To What Extent Should Religious Instruction Be Carried on In the Various Schools?" W. L. Potent, president of the Wake Forest college at Wake Forest, N. C., discussed the subject, "Religion In Education." Dr J. W. E. Bowen, vice president of Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga., presided over the evening session. The speakers were W. P. Few, president of Trinity col-
lege in this city; Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, who is the chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, and General Julian S. Carr, chairman of the board of trustees of the National Training school.
Thursday morning's session was devoted to a general symposium of teacher training. Dr. A. M. Moore presided, and Professor N. C. Newbold, superintendent of rural elementary schools of North Carolina, opened the topic, "To What Extent Should Classes Devoted to Teacher Training Be Encouraged?" Dr. Shepard presided at the afternoon session. The speakers were the Hon. J. Y. Joyner of Raleigh, superintendent of public instruction; Hon. V. O. Gilbert, superintendent of public instruction, Frankfort, Ky., and President Philp Watters of Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga. Dr. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce university presided at the evening session, and the speakers were Judge Gilbert Stephenson of Winston-Salem, N. C., and Dr. W. Y. Chapman of Newark, N. J.
Friday morning, with Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois presiding, Dr. W. S. Scarborough spoke on the subject, "What Should Be the Standard of the University, College, Normal School, Teacher Training and Secondary School?" Other speakers were Dr. J. W. E. Bowen and Professor W. G. Pearson. Professor C. G. O'Kelly presided at the afternoon session, and the speakers were President Harry Andrews King of Clark university, Principal D. H. Keane of the Halsey Normal and Industrial institute, Cowpens, S. C.; Rev. W. H. Franklin, president of Swift's Memorial college, Rogersville, Tenn., and Dr. H. C. Lyman of Hamilton, N. Y. The closing session in the evening was presided over by President James E. Shepard. The speakers were Principal I. Alva Hart of Lincoln academy, Kings Mountain, N. C., and Bishop George W. Clinton. Thus closed one of the most significant conferences ever held in which so many leading educators, clergymen and noted men of affairs participated for the purpose of advancing the educational interest of the colored race.
The conference was made possible through the generosity of a Christian woman in New York city so that the educators of Negro youth and their friends might come in closer contact to study the real needs and seek to find a plan among themselves to better existing conditions.
NEGRO ILLUSTRATED NEWS.
New Paper Started in New York by Senebundu Okagoe Logemoh. The Negro Illustrated News, edited by a native African gentleman of fine culture and much perseverance, S. Okagoe Logemoh of Sierra Leone, West Africa, is the latest candidate for public favor, and it is a very worthy and deserving candidate. It is devoted primarily to the fostering of a better understanding between the Negroes of Africa, especially of the west coast, who are a commercial people, and those of the United States, and its ambitious and patriotic editor is bending all his energies in the direction of opening up trade relations between the blacks of Africa and America.
He says there are magnificent business opportunities in Africa for Negroes in America who have a working knowledge of business and the wherewithal to make their knowledge financially profitable. Mr. Logemoh is a former schoolteacher on the west coast, a Christian gentleman and a clear headed man of business.
He is well connected in his home city and has a reputation for probity, business integrity and honesty. He is a sample of the type of men who are the product of the educated African schoolmaster. He is modest, retiring, optimistic for his race, indefatigable in his work and enthusiastic about the future of Africa. He wishes to get in touch with all Negroes throughout the country who believe, as he does, in the self-redeeming power of Africa and the Africans. For these he has a message full of hope and encouragement.
White men are exploiting Africa and profiting by it. Mr. Logemob believes that black men in America in combination with black men in Africa can accomplish wonders there commercially if once they get together and reach a working agreement for the mutual benefit of the race and for each other. He may be reached by letter at 453 Lenox avenue, New York city, where copies of his unique paper, the Negro Illustrated News, may also be obtained. I commend him to the favor of all the friends of Africa, says John E. Bruce "Grt."
Randolph Miller, editor of the Weekly Blade at Chattanooga, Tenn., whose death occurred the early part of November, was a native of Virginia. He was eighty-six years of age and had been the editor of the Blade for eleven years. Editor Miller established his residence in Chattanooga many years ago. Although he had meager advantages to get an education in early life, Mr. Miller made a very creditable record as a journalist.
Dr. Brown Lectures on Race Thrift. Bethany Baptist church in Brooklyn was fortunate to secure the services of the Rev. Dr. W. W. Brown (formerly of Pittsburgh, but new pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church, New York city) to deliver his famous lecture entitled "The Passing Versus the Permanent In a Race" the last week in November. An appreciative audience greeted Dr. Brown and was much benefited by his instructive lecture.

THANKSGIVING DAY REVERENTLY CELEBRATED.
Thanksgiving Day was reverently celebrated at two different churches where Union services were held: Central Baptist and Shorter A. M. E. church. Reverends Over preached at Shorter and Sawyer preached at Central. There were joyful family reunions, gatherings of friends, fraternal greetings and, of course, the accompanying featings. But never before have there been so many good and sensible reasons given why so many of our people are thankful, more so than in former days. The exodus from the South, the final suppression of the Birth of a Nation, the quickening of our racial consciousness and manhood in the United States and especially in Colorado. We are not thankful for the high cost of living and for the re-election of President Wilson. Summing it all up and putting good and bad together, we can cheerfully count our many blessings which God has given to us.
Lawyer W. B. Townsend has been so ill that he is confined to his bed for the past week.
Mrs E. Williams has returned to spend the holidays with her friends and relatives.
A CORRECTION.
We desire to correct our error in announcing the death of Mr. L. C. Connell last week. We regret our mistake and beg all apologies. The information was phoned in as we were locking up our forms, and we were urgently requested to mention it last week.

WORMS SAP YOUR CHILD'S STRENGTH.
Is your child pale and fretful? Does he cry out in sleep or grind his teeth? These symptoms may mean worms and you should obtain relief at once. Kickapoo Worm Killer is a pleasant remedy that kills the worm, and by its mildly laxative quality expels it from the system. Worms sap the vitality and make your child more susceptible to other ailments. Your drugist sells Kickapoo Worm Killer, 25c a box.
