Bishop was leading Paul Quinn 3 to 0 up to the last two or three minutes of play, when Quarterback Ray Sheppard, the brains of the African Methodists, booted a field goal and knotted the score 3. It had begun to look like a Bishop victory and the sad and drooping spirits of the Paul Quinn supporters and adherents were boosted to the bursting point when Sheppard's accurate toe seemed defeat into a tied victory. Bedlam broke loose and many hearing the noise and hubbub thought at first that "Barbecueville" was staging another customary morbory agree. It was a thrilling, sensational and spectacular pigskin battle, with Bishop executing more intricate plays and demonstrating team work and science that showed the more finished aggregation, although Paul Quinn did not suffer by comparison.

And yet the Negroes have not been trusted than that from the new York State. Whatever may be said about the matter there is small question concerning the fact that the Negro in the state is now being considered in its ranks as "The portify of the republican party." "The devil," they are saying, "we might as well go into the democratic party. The Democrats are all but runners-up." The definite of Prelaghouny and DoPont, of Lyton, and Parker and the near-burrowing of the political power of the supercilious Cabot Lodge in Manchesters shows how deep the heart of the Negroes has been in the chips of dissension flow right and left and it is quite probable that notbing but the strong hand of the president himself drew Ohio from the country and threatened about by the growing disregard for tradition and sentiment shown by the Negro vote in the several occasions of the country last fall.

SOUTHS GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER PAGE THREE THE HOUSTON INFORMER. SATURDAY, JANUARY 6 1973. Independent Colored Voters League of Harris County If the new criminal district attorney desires to render a signal service to the community and society, he should imbure conditions existing in the old restricted district in the Fourth Ward. Residents are complying about clandestine meetings and immoral practices going on under their very nose. Some avert that cars and taxis can be seen throughout the night loading and unloading passengers, and that the former "red-light district" is as "red" as in days of woe, particularly at night. Houses that remain closed and dark during the day suddenly come to life when the shades of evening fall and darkness takes possession of the land. It seems rather funny, strange and peculiar that these conditions exist and the district's activities are common knowledge among Fourth Ward residents, yet no official action has been taken to put a stop to these carousels and deubencheries. Vice certainly does exist and thrive in this part of our city, and The Informer hopes that the new district attorney will "clean up" and "close up" the reservation. The colored patrons of the San Felipe jitney line awoke Wednesday morning to discover that they had no jitney line than a jack rabbit, for after all the votes had been tabulated in last Saturday's primary election and the city fathers saw that their ground was safe, their first official act was to abolish this colored line in its entirety with one fell swoop. This high-handed and discriminatory action by the city council incensed and inflamed colored citizens in all sections of the city, not so much because the San Felipe jitney line was abolished but because the colored line was the only line in the city to feel the official ax. The white jitney lines were not affected in the least, yet every colored man's car was lifted soul and body and shunted off the line, while officials of the traction company drove around the line to see that the job had been done in "brown skin" fashion. Now our people, as well as the jitney owners and operators, are as sore as wet sage hens, but their soreness will amount to very little. The colored race is going to be the football of those in authority and the interests these office holders serve as long as the race has no voice in selecting and electing city officials. Why? Why? Why? Why? It will be well to remember that the white owners, operators and their friends can resent such discriminatory and conflictsive legislation with their votes on election days. The Informer has continued to sound a warning and put our people wise to the local situation, but apparently they are either too dumb, dense or indifferent to take the hint and prepare for and forestall such contingencies. Politicians are noted for going the line of least resistance, and, since the colored line afforded the least resistance and was their best bet, their action was not surprising. It was ever thus and will be until all men are accorded the right to vote in all elections, as guaranteed under the terms and provisions of the constitution: Just what action the San Felipe jitney men contemplate. The Informer is unable to say; but we have noticed that quite a number of former patrons of the line are now walking to and from the business area of the city. This paper holds no brief for the San Felipe jitney line, but it does believe in justice and fairness to all men, at all times, and there is absolutely nothing just and fair about this wholesale and summary abolition of the San Felipe line, while permitting all the men to vote. This is clear legislation of the deepest dye and is both discriminatory and confessional. We wonder how those colored voters feel now who favored and voted for an increase in the salaries of the city officials at last Saturday's illegal election? Maybe the colored race in "heavenly (?) Houston" will come to its senses by 2000 A.D. but in the meantime we shall be kicked about at will by those in official authority and all our protestations and petitions will hardly amount to a row of pins.

One day when the whistle blew for the noon hour, the ball players began to gather up their luggage preparatory to their return to their hotel, when this colored brother sauntered among the players and remarked: "For most people 'round here that whistle that just blew means dinner, but for me it only means twelve 'clock'—that's all." WHAT WILL 1923 MEAN TO THE COLORED RACE IN THIS COMMUNITY? Will it mark a new epoch in racial achievements and commercial undertakings, or will it simply mean 1923—that's all? Like the ball players in the above quoted story, will we gather our luggage and go to the hotel for eats, or like the unfortunate brother of color, will it only mean "twelve o'clock—that's all"? In other words, are we going to turn up something during 1923, or are we going to be content and satisfied and sit supinely by and wait for something to turn up? The children of Israel wandered and roamed in the wilderness for fully a generation and only two of the number who participated in the Egyptian exodus were spared and permitted to enter the promised land. We wonder if the colored race is going to suffer a similar fate in this community? It required fully forty years to eradicate the imprints of Egyptian bondage from the Jews, which was necessary before God could employ that race in the great plan and scope of human redemption. How long will it be before the colored race, even in "heavenly (7) Houston," can discard the relics, habits and practices of mental and economic slavery and unite their forces for possessing the promised land? ```markdown ``` Other races have announced big programs for 1923, both here and elsewhere. What plans have we in mind? Are those of our race who have gotten by or made good, going to continue to invest all their earnings and savings in a few rent houses and then permit their wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, sons and brothers (and even themselves) to be jimcrowd, discriminated against and otherwise proscribed against in places of business operated by others? WHAT WILL 1923 MEAN TO US? Will it mean the continuation of the division and dissension among us on all points and matters of common interest? Will it mean the diminishing or increasing of our extremely large colony of syphonicals, parrots, lackeys, pimps, praters, jackasses, nincompoops, stool-pigeons, traitors, seducers and defamers? Will 1923 mark the passing of over-worked "T" and the employment, both in the letter and spirit, of the much-needed and sorely-neglected "We?" If the expenditures of a business concern exceed the receipts during a twelve-month period, it is not only considered a poor business showing, but ere long the institution will be in the hands of a receiver or file a petition of voluntary bankruptcy. Yet, racial, our disbursements are greatly in excess of our collections, speaking both literally and figuratively, and unless we adopt a new policy and program, insolvency and bankruptcy will be our sad and sorrowful lot. CLOSE If the new criminal service to the conditions existing in Residents are co-moral practices get some over that is the loading and unload district" is as "red" houses that come to life when possession of the item seems rather items exist and among Fourth Woman to take up a stop Vice certainly and The Informer up" and "close up" SAN The colored patty next morning to a jack rabbit The mere hoarding of money and healthy bank accounts will not solve our problem nor get the race very far. This money must be intelligently and judiciously employed or else it will prove a liability rather than an asset. The colored race of Houston, like Bre' Eatmore, in the humorous monologue made famous by the late "Bert" Williams, needs "everything, from a hat down to an overcrowd in." But if we sit around and wait for some kindly person or persons to hand these commodities out to us, it strikes us that we are likely to still be waiting when Gabriel to his trumpet, proclaiming that time will be no more. This is inventory or stock-taking the time of the year and it is not a bad idea for the colored race to take stock and just what goods we have on hand and how best to dispose of them so as to not incur a heavy loss—to convert a surplus stock into ready cash. The wise, thoughtful and successful business man is now laying his plans and making out his budget and program for the year. Likewise is this true of the thoughtful and successful races. Colored brothers, what are we doing in this respect? Are we satisfied and contented with our meagre and insignificant accomplishments during 1922? Are we going to simply mark time during 1923, or are we going to "Git up and git"? The civic leaders of Houston have laid extensive plans for a great year. What part will our race play in helping to make our fair municipality the South's premier city? In the vernacular of the betting fraternity, it is time for the colored brother in Houston to either "put up or shut up." WHAT WILL 1923 MEAN TO US? GET READY FOR BATTLES OF 1923! The Informer would like to see fully 10,000 colored men and women in Houston pay their poll tax between how and midnight, January 31, 1923. Unless the poll tax is paid before February 1, 1923, or an exemption certificate secured during same period, the person thus failing to qualify can not cast a ballot in any of the elections during 1923. From this angle it appears that several important issues will be passed on by the electorate of the city and county during 1923. It is more than likely that another good road bond issue will be submitted by the county commissioners court during the year. Bond issues for additional school facilities, new buildings and other physical equipment may be submitted during 1923. The general election for city offices (last Saturday's election was only the democratic primary), will take place in April, and since so many strange things are transpiring politically and otherwise in our state and nation, it is indeed difficult to predict just here what may happen before the April election. The 1923 political calendar, and it is the manifest, civic and patriotic duty of every colored man and woman in the city and county, between the ages of 21 and 60; to get a poll tax receipt before midnight of January 31, 1923. All young men and women, who will become 21 years of age during 1923, should go to the court house (tax collector's office) and secure an exemption certificate. This also applies to all men and women above 60 years of age. Unless the colored race in Houston qualifies in large numbers and exercises its elective franchise privileges in the elections of 1923, our group's name is "Dennis." Whining, complaining, singing the blues and indulging in lamentations will not help our cause one whit- a democratic republic, such as ours, citizens speak with their ballots. Aside from the fact that payment of the poll tax is a prerequisite to voting in Texas, the money is largely employed for educational purposes. Hence, if a person objects to paying a poll tax "just to vote" was not pay it if help to educate his child or some other colored child. As citizens of this community and shareholders in the municipal corporation, let every colored man and woman qualify to wield the ballot during 1923. Let one of your New Year resolutions be: Resolved, that I will pay my poll tax or secure my exemption certificate for 1922, entilting me to vote in the elections of 1923; and that I will perform this duty before midnight of January 13, 1923, and will urge my friends to do likewise. From now until the time expires every minister should urge his parishioners, both male and female, to qualify; every fraternal organization, club and society should stress importance of the members qualifying as citizens by paying the poll tax or securing an exemption certificate.

STANLEY, Vicar St. Clement's Episcopal Church "Adams Mission." Last week we enjoyed the "Kaffir beer," and the splendid singing of the Zulu. This week we want you to hyaide all previous conceptions of the African, pleased wholly from the white mishmaries and think upon them, drawn by the sun African brother, drawn by one who loves him. Africa is paralleled among the different Christian religious bodies, each religious unit confining its activities to its respective sphere and making demarcation. Today, we will observe a mission station, called "Adam Mission Station," located at Ammanitot, twenty miles west of Durban, the "Atlantic City" of Africa. After leaving the train a six-kilometer journey by car, we are pleased, for the road is good, much better than Dowling Street, and almost the equal of Main Street. It winds over hill and valley guarded on either side by mining fields of sugar and the abundant宝of God's gift belongs to Africans; it belongs to the white man, have been wrenched from the rightful owner on the theory that he could not or did not use it and must be bed and administered by one who can be it to the use of the greatest number. On the same theory the gold and diamond mines have been taken from the natives, to make the white man's fingers sparkle as the sun, and his pocket book swell to the burning point. But excuse me, I forget; I am a missionary of the mission station. After a walk through the desert about by chattering monkeys and Zulus, with their native aseagals, spurs and arrows, we reach the place. The mission contains five hundred acres of the most fertile land in Africa. Six buildings comprise the mission—chapel administration building, school building, museum, library, museum, boys' dormitory, and houses for the ten teachers, besides the presi- We carry the biggest and most complete. stock of used Fords in Houston; we do not handle Fords used in jitney business; our prices lower and our cars better; easy terms; open evenings and Sunday.

Missionary Fancies. The white missionaries have told audiences some tales of hardship endured by the Africans, which are not true. First, the missionaries do not have many hardships, except the hardship of fevers and separation from friends and family. But though they were kings, even their shoes are polished for them. The natives stand with hat in hand, keep eyes closed, and silent until asked to speak. Immorality. I once listened with burning indignation to a so-called address by a missionary, who spoke of the immorality and conversations with missionaries on the field convinced me that these ad dresses are highly imaginative and false. In fact, the testimony of missionaries is often used to effect the effect that Zulu is the most moral man in the world. There are particular cases of immorality, just as there are in America, but generally the cases of immorality are races of mankind, in the Zulu. Their agility of hand, the brilliance of their eyes, the superb physique with the corresponding endurance and mental strength of living, prove their morality, even if they were unattested by the higher type of missionary. God, give us more of these missionaries, who are American models of better understanding and a deeper appreciation for the African. (To Be Continued) THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1923. ... IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL (By REV. P. B. FITTWATER, D. D. Teacher of English School in the Bible Bible Institute of Chicago. Copyright 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JANUARY 7 JESUS HEALING ON THE BABBATH LESSON TEXT- Luke 18:12-18. GOLDEN TEXT- it will do well to do well REFERENCE MATERIAL-Ex. 10-9-31 Im. 30; Im. 61-11-8; Mark. 2-21-39 PRIMARY TOPIC: Jesus Doing Good. JUNIOR TOPIC: Jesus Healing a Hailer. INTERMEDIATE AND NENIOR TOPIC: YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC: Night Use of the Love's Day. What Jesus did on the Sabbath fecundity conflict with the Pharisees. Through the petty rules and regulations they had made this holy day, which God de- fended of deeds of mercy, a day of burden and hardship. Jesus did not diar- gare the Sabbath but broke away from it. The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Religious and ceremonies not should be hardened into letters to bind the wee shearer. i. Jesus Teaching on the Sabbath It was the Lord's custom to go to the place of worship on the Sabbath day. His disciples will imitate Him At the place of worship there is opportunity to worship the Sabbath worship Him, and to show mercy and kindness to our fellow-man. Jesus Healing on the Sabbath (vi. 11-13). 1. A Woman in Need (v. 11). This poor woman's back was bowed down. Though thus afflicted she found her way to the place of worship. Men and women are in great need today. Their bodies may not be bowed down with the burden of sins, but bowed down with the burden of sin and sorrow. 2. Called to Jesus (v. 12). He is always to disciple those who are burdened. He spoke a word of healing to her. How welcome must have been His words. He is calling today to Jesus. He is calling with guilty consciences to come to Him. 3. Laked His Hands Upon Her (v. 13). This straight and glaucked God. It was not enough to teach. He showed His sympathy by coming into touch with the needy. He is to be intimate with Him to be teaching, and also in coming into direct touch with the needy, and burdened world. He is the Ruler of the Synagogue (v. 10). Under the plausible pretence of loyalty to God he showed that ritual is of great importance. He was not primarily concern for ritual, but hatred for Jesus that moved him to indignation. He was too cowardly to confront the people and hit at him over their backs. He pretended great concern for the healing of the people but adamantly refused to help. And not thus have the Babba proven by such a ailmentous act as the healing of this poor woman. This many hypocrites among us today. IV. The Lord's Reply to the Ruler (v. 15, 17). We remove the mask of hypocrisy from the rule as He points out their own custom as a condensation of their pleas pretense. He argues from the lesser to the greater. If it was not the case, the same condition only been tied for a few hours, to water on the Sabbath day, certainly it was right to let belong to the less fortunate for another ten years. Human beings are of more value than animals. This woman was a daughter of Abraham and Sarah, the firstborn of ten years. The principle which Jesus set forth restored the Sabbath to its true purpose. Stained Adventures and Rebelling People (v. 17). The title was now turned. Their enclosure was so great that their conferences smoke them. The arguments of the church are of the same type today. The Family Altar with the home resting on the family after, a with the religious life will come to the world, wholesome, unwarranted, and unpleasant, and will experience the敬仰 on prayer. We shall believe that there is more good in the world than that; there is mercy and forgiveness in God, than condemnation and punishment. We shall realize that prayer is the only weapon with which the world can overcome with. Defence. For wisdom in a defense and money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom growth to them that have it—Ecclesiastical T:12. The Saint. Aaint is a reminder of the sense of God's nearness to others—Westburn. Foley Bros. BARGAIN BASEMENT EXTRA!!

In Wales, too, the May Queen played joyous games was always a briech. Thus the "bedwelling" was a briech, and the greatest game of all was to steal the bedwelling. This, when accomplished, was celebrated with peculiar night marring expeditions and their accompanying festivities came the superstition that on Walpurgle night the warriors and warlocks held high carnival. Tribute to Jewish Chanters. Carsino is quoted as saying: "I have discovered that the Jewish chanters have a special power in vocalization and vocalization in their service. They are unleashed in the art of the chant, and they have a new key, of modulating their ritual voice, to overcome vocal difficulties that are rather than in the metody itself. For this reason I must Jewish synagogues have a special power in vocalization." Foolish Advice. The man had skidded on the slippery bridge and goes over into the river. He was not alone. A notice notied him floundering around in the chilly water and shouted: "Well, chattered the victim, "If I was an sure of your being able to move me as I am of my keeping cool I would quiet my prayers this week." Formaldehyde aa Disinfectant The efficacy of this disinfectant depends largely upon temperature and humidity. In ordinary summer wettability, it is only necessary to apply thefectant. When the thermometer or hydrometer is below 65 the power of formaldehyde is reduced. In the wilted state, it is necessary to artificially and the humidity raised by opening a steam radiator or by boiling a bottle of water in it. Ice Carried in Wooden Vessels. The ships employed in carrying ice from Norway to England are fast wooden boats, for a cargo of jeep wood, and for a cargo of ice to be transported to the ease with which metal conducts heat. Illusion Charity Created by Girls. Every girl in love thinks she has found the only man of his kind in the world, but the married women know who are fearfully alike—kx-change. The Caterpillar Post. France, in the middle age, had a remarkable method of dealing with plague of caterpillars. In 1129 the French monarch, Charles I, sent a sentence of excommunication against caterpillars and grammophiles. Peculiar Rest Clauses A plot of ground in London was once let to the British authority on condition that a ship was to be always on the stockx. Falling to do this, the stockx was to its former owner and in the dead Census was inscribed to this effect. Discouraging. Hand-Painted. Bettele: "What sort of bloom do you think would match my completion of "F" - Hired - a hand-painted one." Simulating Values of Colors. A French experimenter tested the color of a flower. The flowers' lights, and found red was distinctly the most stimulating color, the resulting colors falling in the order, Orange, Yellow, Red. **Q1.** Superstitious Chinese The Chinese are probably the most superstitious race on earth. They have a strong belief in all sorts of spells and charm. The average Chinese drink their drug and frequently use a large part of their income on medicine. Father Should Know. All were quiet in the cinema watch of a small, charming confessor conferring with the director by a small boy's shell video. "That ally the way to be, is dr. Kiss, or is it?" Something in That. "Why do you always buy your clothes on the installment plan?" the man asked. "I shall mail the installments to a Boston Evening Transcript." Hint for Amateur Painters When painting or variegating soft materials, you should use a stainless and let it dry before painting or variegating. This saves about half the paint and gives a harder and smarter finish. Photographing the Stars. It has been recently found that photographs of stars down to the sixth magnitude of degree of brightness can be taken. The photographs are taken through a deep red screen the stars appear directly. So Different From Here. Eddie—Jack wants to see to the date for her wedding. Miss Flyte—Goodness! Do your faves take their engagements as seriously as they?—Boston Evening Transcript.
