(Prepared by the National Geographic Board) ONE of the pleasurable experiences among those that delight travelers in Mexico is a visit to the home of the Andean lake dwellers. Much of the charm of the great Valley of Mexico, where they live is due to the stretches of water among the trees and verdant Seldos in a landscape framed in beautiful mountains and bathed with clearest air of vistas of a new world. On this canal bordered with trees and spanned by quant bridges, in a perfect stream of cards, from the slender dugout chaloupe to the square-bowed fathom harrying on with everything to feed repair, and adorn the great city. The Indian boatmen, clad in white cotton shirts and rousers, are working with a will, sometimes wading in the canal, and drawing the heavy boats after then; and also returnin Their lakes—Texcoo, Xochimilco, Zumpango and Chalco—do not reveal themselves except from the high mountains encircling the valley. They are shallow bodies of water in the midst of extensive jarrhees, unapproachable, and uninhabitable areas. They are found with their definite shorelines. For this reason they have never been highways of civilized commerce, nor has navigation flourished in their shallow waters; but they were from these very hindrances destined to be jealous mothers of ancient and remarkable states, whose people, protected in the fens, dug out canals and developed an旺力. They are not the transportation to the fullest extent. They were for modern man a constant menace during seasons of flood and have required enormous engineering works to keep them in bounds. The first of these, never of great value, was begun some 500 years ago, and exists at the present time as a gigantic ditch 861 feet wide, dug by the patient labor of impressed Indians, and called the Tajo de Nochistongo. The latest undertaking is a canal connecting the three lakes and leading their waters out of the valley by a tunnel through the eastern mountains. This splendid piece of engineering, complete, some of the most fully worked by the heights of the water in the lakes and prevents inundations. But long before Cortes came, the Indians of the valley worked in the boggy lake lands and dug canals hither and thither—main canals between the lakes and to the great city of Tenochtitlan and smaller canals beyond the long, long, long, long, long waterways, then as now, they sent their boats and in the fens built their thatched houses. Historically, Cortez was the first European boatbuilder in the New World, when of an imperious necessity he launched his brigantines, of quaint Sixteenth century pattern, if one may believe the artists, in the first century of the Tevcoo long way near Huejuta where there is now a bridge called Punte de los Bergantines, not far from the capital. Pere Sahara, the Franciscan, records that the City of Mexico is in the midst of a new era of self-serves are comparable to the Venetians in urbanity and savor. This shall be the case in the future, but in the lapse of several hundred years the city's wooden water enclosure will be replaced by the sleeker for lake dwellers will have to far less hardened in the entrancing dwellings. In the Field of Flowers. The way is the present Ateneic Taste, which bears the name of Xochimilco, which is the name of the city of these ancient empires—a prehistoric water read from the manuscript to the ancient Greeks. The name of seven Ateneic tribes which long ago were called Antlas to the old Valley of Meteora. The life on the canal, vivid and picturesque, is as striking now as it was then; it may even be suspected that the change from that time to this has not been very great. It is hard to get a start to the land of the 'fens' in more ways than one—the negotiations for passage in a barge with boatmen who display the characteristics of that tribe known the world over; and the conflicting claims also of all the costumes, incidents, shipping, and so forth, of the boiling, squirming kaleidoscopic canal and shore population on its multifarious quests bewilder the beholder and make him forget that he's on a journey to see the lake dwellers in their primitive homes. Tardily, then, the barge comes into the clear pool in front of the medieval toll-gate fortress, where all shipping must go under a low bridge and there the old-time toll collector, armed with a pike, could threaten the recalcitrant without much effort. Beyond the gateway begin more vista of a new world. On this canal, bordered with trees and spanned by a bridge, the artist crafts, from the slender dugout chapel to the square-shaped houtte, to the large repair, and adorn the great city. The Indian boatmen, clad in white robes, and adorned with a wili, sometimes wading in the canal and drawing the heavy-load boats to their perilage, a woman pliancing a man who is the worse for pugilism. . Pictures Along the Canal. There are pictures and pictures innumerable, full of human interest and checkered with a marvelous play of light, shadow, and reflection, as we pass by the gardens and openings of the larger and smaller canals. Here are embarkings and arrivals loading, unloading, and preparing to lay by for the great water-healing of the water that chatted houses play hide and seek in the luxuriant foliage; here a group of energetic washerwomen by the water margin, and there clouds of white or gandy much-belabored clothes on the bushes. No secrets are here; all goes on with the pulsing, urging force of labor, freely and openly before men. One remembers gardeners and gardens in the past, and the people of this place, and children peeping out on the canal highway from under umbrageous trees. Flotam and Jetam in the canal are vagrant bulbs and flowers of water hyacinth, a wicked, beautiful plant, whose reproducibility makes men work to keep it down, but here it has met its match and is made to be useful. Bridges there are, and most quickly, like that perfect arch of Ixtill, too, without white 'gasses seem to flout in the air. One feels that this panorama should last forever, especially if he does not have to supply the labor of locomotion. Here at this landing at Xochimilco it must be realised that the mere first leaves of our experience, the loveliness of the country of the lake dwellers, are just unfolding. The town is really built on a western firm, as the seven churches, each well-faced, are in the centre of the bell, the stony of quaint houses, and the broad lappaved prehistoric market-place, well attest; but the town diagulises and hides away the life of the canals and gardens, and its attractions for the tourist are soon compassed. We turn into a narrow lane leading away from the formal streets and emerge into an Indian dooryard, and within a few feet of us is the main canal with its boats and floating water. The water is not a little less than the little house group into which we have come as from another sphere are interested and friendly and ready to visit. Making a Floating Garden. It is interesting to see lake dwellers constructing a "floating" garden, and one is carried back without effort several centuries into the past. From the canals the busy Astecs throw great masses of water by acclin with the strip of bog to the thickness of a foot or more. The water hyacinth, which unfortunately does not fit into the ancient picture, is provided with large cellular floats—a natural provision for its dissemination, which has made it an obstruction to navigation. In some rivers of southern United States. Upon this bed of floats they spread a layer of muck, dredged from the bottom of the canals. Perhaps before the plant floats have decayed, these gardens may drift away should the water rise. Even now on portions of the lake square miles of vegetation cover the surface like the "sudd" of the Nile, and the canal roads have to be staked at the sides to keep them from disappearing. Great drifts of micro-social vegetation cover the stagnant water of the open lakes with a mantle lovely in color, while the bottom is coral red from a weed that thrives in the water. The term "floating gardens" was properly applied by the early historians of Mexico to masses of water reeds covered with a layer of rustless bearing a thin layer of soil, employed by the Mexicans at a period when the fluctuating waters of the lakes prevented the formation of permanent chinampas, and so in the New World the Indians repeated the famed gardens of the lakes of Cammers.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1925 CLAIM PREACHER'S SHORTAGE $5000 ASS'N MONEY CLAIM PREACHER'S SHORTAGE $5000 ASS'N MONEY Baptist church circles are all stirred up over what is happening in the First District Baptist Association. At a recent meeting, the church last week the "right hand of fellowship" was supposed to have been withdrawn from Dr. E. W. White, past president of the association, and Bible instructor for the association, and Reva. Tobiah-Granation and蔡敏. A spokesman for these ministers said the meeting was caused by the meeting was a speech called meeting engineered by the officers of the association and claim that only one person was present on them. Davenport is president of the association, Rev. Duncan, secretary, and Dr. B. A. F. Mingnan, pastor of the African Baptist Church, and African Baptist Church, Rumor has it that Rev. White and Dr. B. A. F. Mingnan set the control and the association are charged with representing the "Intellectual crowd. Rev. White, who is the pastor of the African Baptist Church ever is happening, is a leader in the faction of the Baptist church known as the "Baptist Church."

Co.) WAB reuned among the plantations of southern Alabama, had an old black mammy, and was imbued with all the superstitions of my foster-mother. And though I've lived to have many of them knocked out of me, there are some that have worked in deeper than the skin. There was an old "cunjah" (conjure) darkey on my father's plantation when I was a lad, and I believed just as firmly in his miraculous powers as I now trust in the efficacy of a recently decided case. Why, I've seen him do things that would make your hair stand on end, and that no book of philosophy I've ever read could account for. Every darky, within ten miles of that place would have suffered death before around the time he and no young back or maid ever began a courting affair without that procuring a love charm from old Czech men and grew up to manhood, and had almost forgotten all about confuring and such trush, when an incident in the trial of a criminal was made. He was called to defend a splendid speciation of the negro race for killing his wife. He was a Hercules in the war, and he had a quadruped wife until he had the misfortune to lose his leg in falling from the roof of a house—being a car-maker—to have to have someone to have lost affection for him; she allowed the attention of other men, and worked him into a heavy manor, where he was to have lost affection for him; she continued, she threatened, and she continued with censure-theatre, and one day, when fully convinced of her innocence, she chased a platoon, announced his intention to kill her, hobbled a mike with the loaded platoon open in his hand, and then proceeded to one crowd, he deliberately walked up to his wife, put the platoon against her boon, and gave her five times; then strenuously swrew leaving her dead, with Well, he sent for me to come to the jail and arrange about his defense. When I reached his cell he related about what I have told you, and I frankly told him I saw but little chance to prevent his being hanged. Not a single minute did that darkey wait before breaking out in a loud horse laugh. “O Lawd, colonel,” said he, “dar ain’t a bit o’ danger o’ dat.” “The blazes there ain’t,” said I. “What’s goin’ to keep a jury of good and lawful men from stretchin’ that yaller neck o’ yours. I would like to know. Why, niggah! there ain’t enough lawyers in Alabama to save you!” “Why, colonel,” said he, “I’ve got a canjah charm on me, made by old Cato Feels, that’s a sartin’ ventive o’ death; you just go long and make your poration an’ your’fections, sir. I’ll come out all right.” It was no use talking to the fellow, and so I prepared the best defense I could under the circumstances. Harry, my client, eyed the jury closely during the trial, and once when I happened to be disconcerted at a sudden artful move of the prosecution, he leaned over and whispered to me: “It’s all right, colonel; I got canjah stuff for six o’ dem jurymen, and I’d get plum clear of I could have got nuff for de odder six. You jea rar an’ pitch: de can’t hang me!” Well, I covered more "space and reason," did more wind work, and during the whole time the darker permeability case than ever before in my life, and during the whole time the darker permeability case than ever before in my life, and did be cause to mutter and work his fingers. He gave a tremble bloody, vindictive charge, and when the jury retired it felt it would be a matter of a few hours with my client's greatty. To my astonishment, the jury didn't come back the first day, not on the next day, and it was whining at the paleface were for acquittal. You could have knocked me down the stairs, but I was time to amee to the situation. The jury, after four days, came back and sentenced him to the state farm. But I haven't got to the strangest part of the story yet. The nargue gave me two acres from the town, as a fee; there were about two acres of land, a fine well of water, and a comfortable cabin on I tried to rent the cabin, but couldn't get a dartery to occupy it for me. I had to go to the haunted in the mimequah Harry went to the state pentimentary, and after arriving there, he wrote me that I had "been a demon" to "been" that, to remove the spell from the house, or no noe would stay on the place. He was to a northern colored preacher, with an educated wife, and he moved in out three days; said it was a torture, and a woman face, with six children, and he stayed only one night; said there were too many colored children, and the cabin at sight to suit him. The neighbors wouldn't draw water from the well after dusk. They claimed that Harry's wife came to the wall and helped him, and that when they saw a small piece of burnt clothing on top of the water in the bucket, They even allowed a lot of burgee rags. I finally got I am and had the cabin down, and every vantage of the timber burned up, and I built two new rooms, and we went west of the location location, and quite near a public street. But all my tenure was few days, and then "folded up their tents like the Arab." He said, about this time. I received another letter from my client in the penitentiary, asking if the place had been "been" closed. He says he feels he needs to fix it to so the ghosts wouldn't walk there. That came like an inspiration, and I sent a man a 50 miles long rope. He told me the old racist. He arrived three days later but he wouldn't put foot on the first night the moon began to wake. I went there with him on the night selected, and the mayor, two drummers, and a man. "You see, the preacher was just one of those fellows who was always looking into the curious, and came along The house had been situated on top of a little plateau about 10 yards wide. He had a clay mixer and a clay mixer with sand, was dead level, and clean of gras and rubbish. The old darky had on a rod wood and he had a pair of poncho shoes. Poncho fashion, a queer kettle-looking iron hat, and was barfooted and barefoot. He made us all stand at the edge of the room, and we us particularly not to come close to him while the chair was working. He was sitting on a chair and for about fifteen minutes he chanted or crooned the most outlandish bibendum I ever heard. It seemed to be a crudity of crude poetry, with the refrain of: Halum, akalum saglum killah Pollon Rollon ipsum killah Where in thunder he got this dog Latin, or what it means. I can annotate only know it sounded mighty solemn. After a white hair, and taking an aerial view from under his blanket, he walked over his white dress, and strolling over, he began to draw up down on, on the ground, the wall, and the floor, and thought of using in play the old outdoor game, "hop-scoot." His thought of what geometric figures there were in the old hop-scoot game. First, you know, there is a plan diagram, then you follow four right-angled triangles, and an arrow, an arc, and this diagram of this diagram he placed small dolls made of the rest of the tree pines, figures framed brown and white, and so quickly as a skrocot and then he blew his breath on them, and all at once each of those puppets are still waiting backward, and mumming in an understory in a way to make your flesh craft; the fact is, he is a backwoods prayer meeting, except that old Horse-Leg had a different way of breathing through his Well, I got so interested that I couldn't stay away from near the old sorcerer, and inadvertently I stepped into the ring-old Cato had drawn; immediately I felt a hot streak run down my leg, heard the horse-laugh of my client, Harry, break out exactly as it had in the fall, and old Cato fell to the ground as if lightning struck. We poured cold water on the old fellow, and when he got so that he could talk, he upbraided me for breaking the charm, saying that the spell would now work backwards. And I'm willing to be branded as a monumental Anamas all over America, if every night you can't hear at that spot the familiar hobble of the fellow that I know to be safe in the penitentiary walls; you can hear his laugh, and you can see a track of rings as round as a dollar, that no rain will erase, and punctuated with the dot and carry, the dent of the wooden leg and the flat foot of Harry, running around that spot. It may rain floods, but the next day there is the same old peg-leg track, and every night from the street can be heard that same horse-laugh, that I'd swear to among a thousand voice. In the hop-scotch ring there has grown up a red flower, strange in these parts, but with the forlays pronouns an African tiger lily, and by which the sharp outline of the ring is as well preserved as if a gardener had carefully planted them. Recently I had a letter from the warden of the penitentiary, saying Harry dropped into a catalog sleep, from which no power could awaken him until the day he died. Power is being measured as much as they like. I know the facts, and I know that, night after night, Harry's home is归宿 by a lively Early Lifeboat The first distinctive lighthouse was de- signed in India in 1857.

Dean of the Ewing School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) © (1934, Western Newspaper Unita.) THE CHURCH AT ANTOICH LESSON TEXT—Date 11:18 a.m. GOLDEN TEXT—The discipline was called Christians first in Antoich— PRIMARY TOPIC—Some People Who Received a New Name. JUNIOR TOPIC—Barnabas in Antioch. INTERMEDIATE AND NENOR TOP-LEAKS From the Church in Ankara-IC The Secret of a Growing Church. Saul, the new missionary, who was to lead in the evangelisation of the church, called to his work, it was necessary that a new religious center be established. Antichus became that center, and he was called to the Lord of God at Antichus (4, 1921). Persecution at Jerusalem scattered Disciples abroad. Some went message, while those from Africa and Cyprus courageously crossed the line for the Lord. Lord blessed their work in granting many conversions. So great was the war that the news reached Jerusalem, and the work worked for good in this case as well as in many since. These humble people with hearts touched with the Lord glad message of life to others. II. Barnabas Sent to Inspect the Work (vt. 22-36). 1. The Character of Barnabas (v. 24). He was a good man. It is important in sending a man to follow up the work of the Spirit that his character be good. He must not only have an unblemished character, but his sympathy must be broad. He must be capable of entering in full appreciation of the things about him. Barnabas was full of the Holy Spirit. This is an essential qualification for pastoral work. Only a Spirit-filled man can discern the workings of the Spirit of God. He was likewise a man of great faith. Only a man of faith should instruct young Christians. 2. Work Done by Barnabas (vv. 28, 25, 26). (a) He heartily endorsed the work and earnestly exhorted them to continue steadfastly in the faith, and to cleave unto the Lord. There are many affeats to tempt young Christians. (b) He rejoiced over the work which had been done. This shows that Barnabas could rejoice over the successful work done by others. (c) He brought Saul from Tarsus (v. 25). He did more than merely inspect the work. Doobless he preached also for many people were added to the list of people he sent to the temple that he brought to help him. They labored together for a year with the people. Believers, after they have confessed Christ, need careful teaching. Barnacles had the good judgment to take out men and women who bring them from their places of obscurity and setting them to work in the Lords' vineyard. Saul was a more intelligent man than the many men in obscurity who require a Barnacles to bring them forth. H. H. The Disciples First called Christ. They were not called by this name in derision as often asserted. Sister Bornabarah was the name of the way that Sean and Barnabas taught in the church for a year and the discipline was taught. The name was a consequence of the teaching. "Greeted the renderers the passage that it came to pass with them that whole year in the church, and taught much people and that the discipline whole year in the church, and taught tooch." This distinctive title came through Divine guidance. It was owed to Barnabas that this body called the church was given its unique standing and that it was given a term of reproof but because of the close resemblance of the body to its head, IV. Benevolence of the Church at Antioch (vv. 27-80). They made up money for the poor saints at Jerusalem and sent it by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. The genuliness of the work at Antioch is proven by their good deeds. It was further emphasized in that there was no division between Jew and Gentile Christians. The Gentiles ministered to the Jews. Treasures Mistrusture may whirl our material treasures from us; surrender or sickness may take us; we must hold the mouth. They are not cure; we hold them upon sufferance.

Entered as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the postmaster at Houston, Texas, under the Act of March 3, 1879 C. P. RICHARDSON ..... Editor-Publisher B. R. WILLIAMS ..... City Editor Z. B. WILLIAMS ..... Advertising Solicitor HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1925 WHY NOT A MANDATORY WRIT, FRIENDS? While admitting that we are not versed in jurisprudence and proper procedure in legal matters, yet from the viewpoint of a layman it appears to The Informer that our best recourse in the case of a lawsuit against the "Jim-crow" law would get instant action, and not be denied our rights through court delays and legal technicalities.** We observed where the two colored cities, who were arrested and incarcerated for alleged violation of the "Jim-crow" law, were held in the Houston Electric Company, a public service utility, and were ejected and arrested), have filed damage suits against the local traction company for the humiliation, inconvenience, et cetera, suffered because of the ruling of the street car company and action of the police. While not denying the fact that these citizens and taxpayers deserve and merit damages for their humiliation, inconvenience and maltreatment on common carriers in the streets of Houston, The Informer also knows how slow and tedious it is for damage to a vehicle. The court should not be made aware that injuries are involved with their array of legal talent and their pull, and colored people are plaintiffs. It may be years before these cases are settled, if heard, for numerous loopholes can be found to delay hearing the cases in court. Since this is true, and since the question concerns fully 50,000 of Houston's population and is a matter of public weal, The Informer wonders why the race can not go into court and sue out a mandatory writ against the local traction company and compel the city to take action. It cannot be made on their buses for all citizens, irrespective of race, creed or color. Courts of equity were established for this purpose, and, if such procedure is possible (and we see no valid or sound reason why it not possible), then we should attack this demon of prejudice and rank discrimination. In an ample and open out as soon as possible what rights the colored people have under the laws of Texas when it comes to common carriers and public conveyances, not condemning nor criticising the course that has already been taken by Mr. Mitchell and Mrs. Estus, but fearing that court delays will hamper us in this cause, we are suggesting some other course to be pursued in securing action of some nature disgusted with the little interest and erence our people are manifesting in a sense of anger for the public and our utility can discriminate against our group because of color, it does not require a sage to see that are long others will do likewise. Negroes of Texas are too little concerned in their rights as guaranteed them even under the constitution and bill of rights of the Lone Star State; for the law specifically states that accommodations on all public carriers "must be separate but equal" for both races in this state. This makes the law mandatory and obligatory rather than optional and elective. We must consistently refuse to provide equal accommodations on their passenger trains for colored passengers, and in numerous instances colored passengers, even though paying first-class fare, are forced to submit to worse accommodations than cattle, live stock and swine. We do protest? We do register our complaint at the proper place, and in numerous instances colored anthems—the blues—and engage in our hymns of lamentations to our lonesome? If the colored citizens of Texas would merely show a little many interest in themselves and pool their interests for the common good of their entire group in matters that vitally and willfully discriminate against, contingent, many of these ranks and wilful discrimination injurious and inequalities would not be gratuitously heaped upon our race. These buses have been in operation on the streets of Houston for practically one year, if not for a longer period of time; and yet only two colored citizens out of a possible 50,000 have even essayed to secure transportation on these common carriers; and they have been in operation on the streets of Houston severely criticised and denounced by members of their own race for trying to enjoy their inalienable and constitutional rights and preragatives. What other race under the blue canopy of the vaulted skies would so meekly, humbly and tamely submit to such damnable and inhumane conditions, would not be able to right rights as our race has done in Houston in reference to the motor buses operated here by the Houston Electric Company? As set forth in these columns previously, this is a collective fight, racially speaking, and not an individual controversy; it is the people's cause and not merely an occasion for some members of the public to protest. Though operating these buses under the terms of the franchise giving the local traction company the virtual exclusive right to furnish rapid transit facilities for all the people of Houston for a long number of years, the officials of the Houston Electric Company, with the seeming consent and assent of city hall, have issued a superb edict that operators on these buses (common and wilful discriminators, accept colored citizens as passengers on or in said buses). Though operating as street cars, giving and taking transfers and employing the paved thoroughfares of this city for locomotion, the company officials are violating the laws of the state by allowing them to ride in the city streets stood by them in the jitney election, 1924, and court action—swift, summary, conclusive and convincing—is absolutely necessary to bring these traction heads to their senses and to make them know that they, and even the city fathers, are not superior to the ordinary organic law of the imperial and expansive commonwealth of Texas. If this redress can be secured quicker and to a better extent through mandauas proceedings and writ of injunction, then The Informer favors this favors operandi and believes that it affords us our best bet to get either favorable or unfavorable court action. The court has ruled against colored citizens riding in these busses, and can determine and decide this cause and adjudicate this matter. AT ROSENBERG ON JUNETEENTH M. B.

How many Negroes are there in the United States and how many Negroes millionaires—R. S. I. High Square. Approximately twenty million. There is no data on the number of Negroes and we cannot anwerd definitely. Do you think anyone will be able to communicate with Mars—R. S. I. H. Low Square. Perhaps. Some astronomers say Mars is inhabited and others not. The question has not been answered and some day we may be able to communicate with them. Why cannot a Negro go to West Paterson or a Negro be in internment and some day we may be able to communicate with them. Why cannot a Negro go to West Paterson or a Negro be in internment and some day we may be able to communicate with them. How can a senator or congressman appoints them. However, prejudice is still a serious problem. Seldom neck appointment. Col Young and L. L. Flipper were both appointed to Hamish a Negro—H. J. B. Madison, Inc. He most certainly was. However, the term "Negro" was unknown to the nation of that day were either the nations of African descent and the mere men of a person's nationality was not African. The tribes were from reddish brown to deep black, but they were called Egyptians, and as it grew, settled by Phoenicians, a black race, and as it grew, surrounding Africans, a picture he has left of Hannah and neither a description, but from the people, of that day, he could have been nothing but an African and a Negro, and were mighty few and seldom ever seen. Just what territory did ancient Ethiopia embrace?—F. S. C. Omaha. There have been archologists who claim that Ethiopia at one time emigrated to Africa, extending to the Atlantic. This indicate a similarity of civilization. Schluppe of history, however, in their writings of history, the capital was located at Marce, now north of the Kingdom of Beytin. The Kingdom of Beytin was very closely skin, adopting the same style of architecture and worshiping the same gods. Were there any NGOs in prehistoric America?-G. H. J., Los Angeles, Calif. Bidences of both Nerones and Chinese have been uncovered in excavations in the West Indies and the Caribbean. Was the wife of Nopone Bonna, mother a colored woman?-T. T. W., Josephine, wife of Nopone, was a crested bird in the West Indies and of a monkey in the Caribbean. Does the Desert of Sahara touch Liberat on any plant?-W. L. K., Malawi, Ohio. It certainly does not. The Sahara Desert is in the northern part of Africa and several hundred miles removed from Liberat. What products are raised in Liberat?-W. L. K., Malawi. Coffee was one of the chief products before the war when the Germans Liberated have let the coffee lands go to ruin. Hardwood, palm oil, palm oil, palm oil, palm oil, among the present products exported. Was Mohammed a Negro?—F. R. G., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yes, he was a mulatto, of the tribe of Koreigh and the House of Hashim. The Korites were closely akin to the Ethiopians, the latter having founded the house traditionally. Who was Clitus and what was his relation to Alexander the Great?...D. S. A., Corinth, Miss. Clitus was one of the general under Alexander and one of the best loved. Alexander killed him in a fit of anger and afterward regretted the deed deeply. Clitus was a Negro. What period marks the fall of the power of the dark races?—H. J. L., New York, N. Y. The downfall of the Moors in Spain marks the close of the rule of nations of African descent, that is, in a world wide sense. This was about the twelfth century. Is masonry an African rite and when was it practiced?—R. F. E., Luluth, Minn. Modern Masonry bears little relation to ancient Masonry, as understood and practiced today. The Egyptians possessed secrets of which the modern Mason knows nothing and their ritual was vastly different. It would require a large volume to merely cover the subject and space does not permit here to give even a brief resume. VOICE OF PRESS TOM LEE IN MEMPHIS. The Chicago Whip: The Norman, a Mississalppl river steamer, capsized a few days ago. It carried sixty passengers. About forty were saved. Of this forty, thirty-five were saved by Tom Lee, who was passing in a motor boat. Now Tom Lee is colored. And Tom was alone. But those that he saved were white. Lee is being highly praised. The mayor of Memphis is pictured shaking his hand. And a Carnegie medal is sought for his bravery. Even in that inhospitable country Lee's color was not thought of at the time of the disaster. He was doing a service that could not be done by anyone else. Thus you have it that the presence of a colored man is welcome wherever he gives to the general good but does not take anything away in return. He can add, but he must not subtract. The honor is over. But does Lee, who gave so much, gain aught for himself? Suppose in saving the lives of 35 whites he himself had been injured. And suppose he had money. Could he have spent that money to restore himself in a private hospital of Memphis? That is the sad thing of American prejudice. It operates against the minority—never for it. No civilization can stand on such a false premise. You cannot be against the other fellow always and expect him to be for you always in return. There must be a give as well as take. Lee's conduct should shame the southern whites about the unfairness of their course. But it won't. He won't be able to buy a soda in Memphis tomorrow. Tom Lee's social status in Memphis, Tenn., is fixed by the color of his skin. When he meets white folks on the street he takes off his hat and gives them wide clearance, even if he finds it necessary to step into the gutter. For Tom Lee is a Negro—though the white folks do not call him that—and he lives among people whose forefathers used to own his forefathers in fee simple. Tom Lee has a motor boat—pretty well for a Tennessee Negro. On Friday afternoon last he passed the excursion steamer Norman on the Mississipp River just before she capazied and applied her crowd of white passengers into the swift current. Tom looked back over his shoulder and saw the turgid waters engulf the careening vessel. He did not stop to consider the great gulf that lay between him and his social superlors. He turned his little boat around and began to drag the drowning whites out of the river. Of course, Tom Lee, whether he were white or black, couldn't have done anything else. He is a human being—other humans were dying—he, alone, could save them. He snatched a man from a floating timber, and dragged out two or three struggling children. He landed them on a sandbar, gave them matches, and told them to gather driftwood and build a fire to warm chilled bodies. Almost white intelligence. Then he went back to the spot where the overturned steamer lay, and filled his boat again and again, landing the rescued on the bar where the fire blazed. Altogether, Tom Lee, according to Associated Press reports, saved 30 lives, including that of the captain of the unseaworthy vessel. Not a bad afternoon's work for a Negro. Now they are talking about nominating Tom Lee for a Carnegie hero medal. We should think that the breast of every intelligent Negro in the land would swell with pride as he reads of this exploit. But the fact must be remembered that the story would have been the same had the excursion boat been carrying Sunday school picnickers from the Memphis African Methodist Episcopal Church, and had the lone boatman been a scornful white man. We are brothers under the skin. Social distinctions become rather cobwebby when the Grim Reaper is hanging around. The same primary emotions throb in every human breast, implanted in us by a common Father. Today Tom Lee is a hero, commanding respectful admiration, in which all of us join. Tomorrow he will be taking off his hat to the white folks again—back in "his place." It's the way of a world full of artificialities. We can be natural only in the presence of tragedy. Memphis News Splitter: As in every great emergency Friday and Saturday, the catastrophe provided its quota of news, one case that required recognition. That is the case of Tom Lum. Tom Lum is a Negro man employed by Charles W. Hunter, a leece man in the Army. Tom's foregone to Helena. Thursday on a trip of inspection. He was on his way to Memphis on return.
