Tulsa Entertains Business League SLAYS SPOUSE, THEN SHOOTS SELF FOR SALE AT THE ORGEN WARRAM SHOP BROOKLYN NEW YORK CITY & TORONTO MAMILAN ST. AUGUST HOME EDITION VOL. VII THE MIRROR OUR OKLAHOMA JAUNT. Since some of our readers are expecting the conductor of this department to say something about his recent trip to the National Negro Business Association, he will give a brief resume of the trip, experiences, observations, et cetera. We left Houston in our zas-wagon Sunday morning, August 16, at 5 o'clock; arriving at Bryan at 5:30 p.m., he was in the same hotel, with a wife, youngest son and sister-in-law, Miss Pinkie M. Riee (Latin teacher at Arkansas Baptist College, Little Rock, Ark.), enjoyed a most appetizing meal at the American American, a monstrous home of Dr. and Mrs. William Hammond; Dr. I. A. Carter enjoying the meal with us. Our next stop was in Waco, where we spent about two hours with Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Cribber. Leaving Waco about 4 p. m. we motored on to Fort Worth, arriving there about 7 p. m. (Prof. and Mrs. W. F. Bledsoe, Jr., Joined our group at the Cribber, 10 p.m. in Fort Worth until early Tuesday morning, when we hit the trail for the Sooner State. Monday we attended the annual pitch of the Ft. Worth railway postal clerks. Our first stop was in Waco, where we are supposing to have been awaiting us, our first stop was Denison, the home of the Riddles. Whenever Denison is called the next name, we will be asked to ask for the name. I'm in Riddle. Well, the Riddles and Houstons were there and Dr. Roscoe C. Riddle, supreme president and surgeon of the Sons and Daughters of the Riddles, was on the stand of our party had plenty to eat "2 everything." We had a most delightful breakfast in the dining room of Mercy Hospital, one of the most-known and most-populated institutions of its kind we have ever seen in this part of the country. Recently completed and intely occupied, the hospital would be re-erected in the future. On the other hand, and the doctor, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Riddle, is certainly on the job. He not only saw that we were fed amply, but filled our hearts with the hope that we would be in their right place. In Mrs. Houston's car to the Red River toll bridge. At Durant, Oka, where trails rallies were for some distance before a turn northward, we were minded and wet, well farty 160 miles before our nurse came in, and we were going in the wrong direction. Rectification was a right highway (it turned out to be a "low-way" when the river bottom was exposed in the wilde and wilderness of Oklahoma) and reached McAllister in time to put up for the Leaving McAllister Wednesday morning early, we motored to Tulsa via Muskogee, and reached the convention city before noon. F. R. Williams, former Texan, had a meeting with a member of the team that our task was finding him. He had left word at league headquarters to permit no one else to have our party, and thus we were his guests. He had recently built and moved out about 25 miles from the home of the team, and the meeting was arranged around Tulsa, and the unarranged arrangement made with John Henry Thomas, another young man born in Texas, residing next door, our party and excellent quarters. While most of the delegates were meeting, the meeting was heat in the sweeter and humorous houses downtown (it was 106 and 104 degrees in the shade when we arrived), a cool breeze was fanning us to sleep and then cooling us while in the arms of Morpheus league. The formal opening of the conference took place on the 1st of November at Convention Hall, Mayor H. F. Newblock delivering the official welcome for Tulsa; responded to by F. B. Ransom, manager Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg. Co., Indianapolis, Ind. The annual address of President R. R. Williams was the stellar attraction of the opening program and whatever adverse opinions people may have had regarding Dr. Moton, his public utterances and general attitude in matters vitally affecting Mr. R. R. Williams, and masterly prior to his meeting. He was certainly dispelled after listening to the league head on that night. Although he employed some baffling shoots and benders, he wasted very few, "baseballally run" in fatting, but blazed out over the plate, taking a good effect, establishing a show strike-out record. Then, to show his batting eye was in trim, the major laced two drives over the fence with all the bases occupied. To express it in the vernacular, "I am not sure that Mr. R. R. Williams would have the plate, but he has this stuff," and, as a big hand by a large violence of both races. The musical numbers were unusually good on opening night, the sling and Tukke Community Quarter and Tukke Community Chorus being exceptionally good. The Tukkeen歌仔.

Despite the half dozen commodities hotels and the open business homes, Tulsa was crowded to its portals by the tremendous throng which the occasion brought. It nearly nearby state, Texas, Missouri, Kansas and others ordinarily sparsely represented at the league sent hundreds of new business men and visitors who welcomed the opportunity to greet the leaders in Negro commerce and business. The league, which was presented, to tell of their own achievements and to extend to those who live east of the Mississippi an invitation to cast their lot, if they would, in the west, "the land of great open spaces, the golden sun and dazzling fortune possibilities." Tulsa excelled in many things. Its "enjoy yourself white here" and welcomed the opportunity to greet the leaders after exulting most overwhelming. Dances mourning noon and night, at Convention Hall, can Gantla and the Kansas City Convention Center, which have been transferred to Hutchinson, Artima, Oklahoma as well as Tulsa which have been transferred to Tulsa League, under the leadership of Edith Rosece Dijneye of the Black Belt League, merchant prize of Muskogee, functioning brimming with business and booming commerce were available for all who wished them.

"enjoy yourselves here," and then the colored citizens of Tulsa, sait: "We've prepared to give you a good meal. If you don't have it, it's your own fare." No Racial Friction. And the mayor seemingly was right. Tulsa not only had prepared to give the league a royal time, she gave it black Tulsa and white Tulsa, and the two are as separate, geographical, as they are in color, united in extending the hand of welcome and in boosting Tulsa. Both seemed to want to forget about the riot of four years ago when the resulting fire had literally swept black Tulsa off the map. Every courtesy was extended the delegates. Railroad and Pulman accepted the commodations were available for all who wished them. None of the terres which Eastern delegates who did not come had feared, were not well founded. "You may depend upon it," said the mayor, "there'll be no more racial trouble in Tulsa." "You are right," President R. R. Moton, who followed him, quickly countered, "The best men and women of Tulsa, black and white, are ashamed of what occurred here and right-thinking white and black men are ashamed of it the country over. It cast a blot on your city's fair name which it will take years to eradicate." Reconstructed Tulaa Marvelous. "But," said the mayor, "look about you. If anything was needed to prove the courage, ability and worth of the colored citizens of Tulsa, it is exemplified in what they have accomplished. Four years ago after the fire their district was nothing but a barren waste. Now look at it. Block after block of modern brick buildings, most of them a hundred per cent better than they were before. In all of this they have had the hearty support and cooperation of Tulsa's white citizens. We are proud of their progress and if they are able to keep up the same stride for four more years, I think some of our white people had better go over and take lessons." Tulsa is really amazing. Not alone because of its marvelous comeback in buildings and homes, but because of the great variety of business enterprises it supports. "Tulsa is the most complete and progressive Negro business settlement I have seen," was the comment of Dr. Moton as he delivered his annual address in the new and modern Convention Hall in the center of the city. It is likewise the most segregated community in America. Not a white man lives or does business in black Tulsa and not a black man lives or does business in white South's Greatest Weekly Newspaper HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 Tulsa, save those servants who may have quarters behind some employer's house. Probably one-third of the new buildings in black Tulsa, however, have been built by white men. The result was studied carefully by the delegates to the Business League. Colored people are practically competitive, and, in another way, are not for the Negro who does not want to trade with the S. D.; Hooker, department store, the score of grocery stores, the seven drug stores and numerous other businesses, must go out of his way to get to the white business district. This fact, coupled with the strong feeling of racial loyalty, prevalent in Tulsa, is responsible for Tulsa's remarkable business district. Resolutions were not made to give more attention to the问题, but were being made of their patronage to Negro business enterprises, with conservatism in business operations and careful investigation and consideration of all proposed business ventures. The observance of Trade Week by local organizations was commended, while thanks were given to the organizations which had aided in the successful session here. The following features were suggested for Trade Week for local business. (1) To Trade Week there has been added a new feature in which Negro boys and girls, under proper supervision, are put in charge of the various business establishments in the community for one day. (2) The creation of a closer relationship between the business men and the farmers to the end of strengthening the business interests of the Negro farmer to secure long-time income. (3) The campaign to drive out of the state all unscrupulous stock salesmen. Officers for 1926. Robert R. Moton, president, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; J. C.

MARSHALL SCHOOL GETS RECOGNITION FROM DEPARTMENT Marshall, Texas.—The endowment campaign for Wiley College was vigorously pushed at the several conferences held recently. Pledges running into the thousands of dollars, redeemable in thirty months, besides a number of cash subscriptions, were secured, thus assuring the uninterrupted future development of this school and easily placing it at the head of its class in this section.

(Copyright.) FILIZABETH MOORE turned impatient at the call of a weak voice when she heard the girl had been watching the tail, virtue form of Doctor Gresham as he passed through the gate and entered the room. He was heavy with the memory of the kishe she had permitted him to give her while the Man slept in the darkened room. Now the man had awakened and his call had taken the sunshine out of her face. He was from her face. Yet when she entered the sick room, she smiled and softly asked, "there something I can do for you, dear?" "What did the doctor say?" the Man asked. "I am a lot of secret; I could scarcely hear your voice." Suddenly he said: "Olive loves you, Elizabeth." "Olive loves you and mistakes face and she turned quickly away. It was clear. And it was sweet. Gresham did love her and only mistakenly "You—love—love him!" "The man asked, timidly, his voice weak with the tears. "No, dear, no, she," she said, and pressed her soft mouth against his wrested throat. "I only love you, only "Sometimes, Elizabeth," he said, with a pathos that hurt her, "sometimes I think of the terrible price you have paid for your little happiness. When we did it—" He stopped a moment, then went on— "When we ran away, I believed I could make you happy. Always remember that I believed I could make you happy, won't you, dear? But you were eighteen and I—I was forty." "Hush," she said, soothingly, "hush. You will only excite yourself. I sacrificed nothing and I have nothing to regret. You have made me happy, always. It was you who paid the price. You gave up your home and your children, your business and your friends, you even disgraced the name you were so proud of, for my sake, and all I have given you has been my foolish love. Yet I did—I do love you." "Do you really love me?" he asked, eagerly. For a moment Elizabeth's eyes closed and her face was drawn and old, then she silently answered by pressing the Man still closer to her breast; she kissed him and crooned over him, calling him a thousand endearing names, until he fell asleep. When she arose to her feet and gently placed his head back on the pillow, her lips were as white as her cheeks. "God! What a liar I am. What a life in the world, I am saved only the right to bear his name, to tell the world his wife: to forget the shame of being a slave, to be saved only the right to die. I was glad. It meant that he was all mine and we need never she tried to count the few months that the ecstacy of possession had made her feel. But through the fire had swiftly burned out, there had always been a feeling of Gresham. And while she mused upon his head he step on the walk and sprang forward to mount the mountain. He faced his face and his peculiar expression claked her. "Is he? he asked, "What is the matter? Is anything wrong?" he said, "I don't know how to tell you this, but I have been fighting with myself ever since. I love you, he." He paused. "You will have to get another doctor for him. I am afraid to trust myself, but I am not a murderer, but I hate him because he dreaded wreck your life with his selfish passion and I hate him for it. I am not a murderer! A little sagittile, the wrong madness! God! I can't face it, girl. I cannot be damnable. I cannot attend him any longer. Greisham stood stillly facing the clear sky, and the expression in her eyes started Greisham. He tried to take her in his arms, but he couldn't. "Tell me," she commanded, and grasped his wrist until her fingers were deformed. "You have to you mean-" "Hilibeth," Greisham said, sharply, "I am at least a little honor. I am not a murderer. I cannot take the temptation from me." Elizabeth suddenly sobbed "and touched me. I am going to get another wrist to want him live, I didn't lie, I love him, oh, how I love him!" And Greisham watched her stumble in Meanings of Words A dialectical word is one derived from a dialect, such as the Scottish pronoun pronoun, or the prescriptive.

PASTOR Notwithstanding the fact that quite a few familiar faces were absent from the morning service of August 23, the church was filled to its capacity and the response demonstrated by the audience indicated that they were well paid for having come out. In White was at his best and preached, primarily a season, taking as his text, "After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit suffered them not." Acts 16:7. Using Paul as an example he showed conclusively what a privilege it is for one to feel he is guided, watched over and led by God. In the morning thought in his discussion was that the plans of God must be executed; and using Paul and his companions to illustrate this point he said, "Just as Paul and his companions wanted to stay in Asia Minor but the Spirit suffered them not, the same is true of man today. God uses agencies to prevent man from doing certain things in order that His purposes may be carried out; these agencies may be sickness, storms, men and other things." He used many examples to explain this point; two important ones were Livingston's work in Africa and Lincoln as president of the United States. The great climax in his sermon was reached when he showed that Paul's life was a success in spite of many many events, and obstacles which he met during his ministry because he allowed God to use him. Space forbids details, but this was not the case. The sermon was sent in a very intelligent, instructive and dignified manner as it knew the audience. After the sermon three converts PIANIST AND RECORD STAR LEAVES FOR NEW YORK CITY Mrs. Ethel Finite-Granger and baby Ethel Finite-Granger, where she will join her husband.

"BABY COX" CROWN; STILL POPULAR AT THE LYRIC The Jimmie Cox Georgia Red Hots opened at the Lyric theatre this week with a snappy, entertaining show. Though Jimmie is dead, his wife and daughter produce a show that reflects credit on the memory of its founder. The original Baby Cox, who was a juvenile sensational as an entertainer, proves just an popular as in her childhood days. She still possesses her winsome ways, has a pleasing voice and is a good dancer. Baby I love is easily the star of the bill and her singing of "Radio Man" and "What'll I Do", drew encore after encore. When this little miss was here last, her numbers included some rather naughty and suggestive numbers, very unbecoming and inappropriate for a child of her years. She is a bit tamer now. Basket and Johnson are the comedians and really are funny boys. The chorus is a lively stepping-bunch, good lookers, good dancers and fair singers. RETURNS FROM COUNTRY.

LOFTY THEATRES SHOW CONTEMPT FOR COLORED PATRONS IN MANY LITTLE WAYS The contempt displayed towards the colored patrons of the "lofty" theatres, in New Orleans, is evidenced in many little ways. Despite the fact that thousands visit these show houses each week but one, the Palace employs a colored ticket seller though all have jim-crow ticket windows. After climbing innumerable flights of stairs in each of them to reach the galleries, the patrons are usually greeted by uncouth ticket-takers. At the Crescent a big red-faced fellow collects tickets between the card games he has with the moving picture operator. This gentleman seldom, if ever, wears a coat, though he is apparently good-natured. The St. Charles, when it is open, has the best seats afforded by any of the houses and employees a neatly dressed colored girl as usher. The seats at the Crescent, and most of them at the Palace, are hard-inbuilt benchies. The Palace employs a colored girl to sell tickets but a uniformed white fellow to take them up. As the tickets are sold at an alley entrance, perhaps no white person desires to officiate at the box office. At the Orpheum where the colored patrons share the gallery with that class of white people who vociferously BIG BAPTIST CHURCH SPLIT; 50 MEMBERS LEAVE ISRAEL The threatened split in the Israel Baptist Church has materialized and fifty members have withdrawn their membership and organized the Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church. That the plans were well worked out and carefully executed was made known when the new congregation purchased property on Amelia street and announced that soon a commodious structure would grace the new site. Rev. Syplon, pastor of Israel, is still supported by a loyal congregation which professes, through its officers, being satisfied over the withdrawal of what they term a disturbing element. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH TO DEDICATE NEW BUILDING On Sunday, August 30, Rev. W. M. Cosey and the members of Mt. Zion Baptist Church are planning to dedicate their new church edifice. Construction was begun several years ago and the congregation continued to worship in the old building. Delay after delay intervened, but now the members are happy that the first floor is ready for occupancy. A fine program has been arranged and will continue all day. The Women's Home Missionary Society of First African Baptist Church in Chicago, will hold special services at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. Dr. J. A. Bingaman, the pastor, will present the program will be rendered. At the evening services the cloist will conduct the general public is invited to attend.

Take small and large collects the tickets acts as if he came in on a pass to enjoy the show. He is more independent than the manager of the house, and when he comfortably adjusts his seat so he can view the pictures or take in the show, he has no hesitancy in commanding colored patrons. But the other is to him being their tickets. It appears that there is no reason why the theatres should not employ colored people to handle their colored patrons. It should make for better feeling and often a patron wishes information, of first one kind and another, but is not inclined to seek such from the whole employee. The Lyric theatre, the colored playhouse, has demonstrated that a capable staff of colored employees can be maintained and can handle the business as well as any one else. It is possible that the managers of the white house are the only one of the section occupied by their colored patrons nor any any attention to the matter. If this be the case a few interviews with some of their colored patrons might reveal information of value to them. bean arranged for.

VITWATER, D.D. Dees of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (GRY 115, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for August 30 PAUL AND THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER LEBSON TEXT- Acts 16:116-40. The Lord Jesus Christ, and the the Lord Jesus Christ, and the thou shalt be PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of an Earthquake. JUNIOR TOPIC-Conversion of the INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC- Conversion of the Jailer TOPIC-Conversion of the TOPIC- The gospel in Philipp. I. Paul and Silas in Jail (vv. 15-20) II. The Occasion (vv. 15-20) As the missionaries went out from day to day to the place of prayer they were accustomed by a young woman posing in front of the altar. She was owned by a syndicate of men who derived large gains from her soothing. This act of the woman was so powerful that she was in charge who in the name of Jesus Christ commanded the evil spirit to come out. The evil spirit immediately obeyed. The woman, in the name of the maid, her supernatural power was gone, therefore, the source of revenue was dried up. She was so exasperated that she asked Paul and Silas arranged before the magistrates on the false charge of changing their customers. This was the charge, but custom! Silas gained that had been interfered with. There is always trouble ahead when you interfere with the magistrates. You must defend themselves Paul and Silas were stripped and beaten by the angry mob and then forced to jail, and were made fast by stocks in the tunic. 2. Their Jehovah in *Jail* (v. 25). They were praying and singing in the dungeon, and they should pray under such conditions, but to sing hymns is astonishing to all who have not come into Christ. Even with their backs lacerated and smarting their feet fast in the dungeon, they were stationed in the dungeon darkness of that inner prison, and with the morpw filled with extreme uncertainty, their feet were opened the prison doors and removed the chains from all hands. The earthquake was not a mere coincidence, but a real event, the doors all bolted open, and unclasp the fetters from men's hands. 1. The Conversion of the Jailer (v. 26). The jailer's sympathy did not go out very far for the prisoners, for he was not afraid to sleep. The earthquake suddenly aroused him. He was about to kill himself, where Paul assured him that he was too much for him. What he had heard of their preaching, and now he was too much for him. He came as a humble inquirer after salvation. He was convicted of sin and felt the need of a Saviour. Paul said he was too much for him. He saved "Beware on the Lord Jesus Christ." The proof that the jailer was saved is threefold: 1. From Brutality to Tenderness (v. 33). 2. He who a little while ago could with impunity lay on the cruel lashes and polish the wounds of the prisoners. 3. Confession of Christ in Baptism (v. 33). Those who have really been convicted of sin and have experienced the saving grace of God delight to contend their faith in Him under whatever conditions. 4. He Set Meat Before Them (v. 84). 5. He Wrote His Household Humped (v. 33). 11. The Magistrates Humped (v. 35-40). 12. He Tends to Release the Prisoners (v. 65-38). The earthquake brought Pearl upon the magistrates which moved them to the church. The magistrates sent 2 Paul's Refusal to go (v. 37). The ground of his refusal was that their rights as Roman citizens had been violated by the magistrates' vindication. The magistrates were guilty of serfing of the church, but he used the occasion to show them that persecuting men who preached the gospel was an offense against the church.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1925 BUSINESS LEAGUE PLANS TO ORGANIZE TEXAS. At the recent twenty-sixth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it was definitely decided to push plans immediately for the organization of local leagues and commercial clubs in Texas, all to be affiliated with the national organization. The league heads are of the opinion that Texas is a very fertile and virgin field for the colored business and professional men, but that these men and women are not taking advantage of their wonderful opportunities through organized efforts and concentration of forces. Excepting Dallas, which had several representatives present at the Tulsa meeting, the other Texas cities, considering the close proximity of the league city to the Lone Star State, were not well represented. With the largest colored population in the state, Houston only had three representatives at the recent Tulsa league session, notwithstanding the fact that this city was honored with more men on program than any city in the country—really, more than the quota assigned some of the states. What was the question? Only two Houston men were willing to sacrifice a little time and money to go to the league in Oklahoma City, and fill their places on the printed program. Other Texas cities had no representation there, which showed a manifest lack of interest in an organization that is destined to become the greatest and most powerful single body in America for advancing and protecting the commercial and economic interests of our racial contingent. The National Negro Business League has, heretofore, been large inspirational; but a new program of action has been determined upon by the official family, and to put over this program the various states must perfect and maintain their local leagues. The league is making no mistake in its plans to organize or organize Texas; for, this state offers that organization and the race a must splendid opportunity for a real constructive service along business lines. Texas has produced a bumper crop of big men and women who are making good in all parts of this country—many of them being outstanding and conspicuous leaders in business, education, religion and politics; and what this state has done in the past, in giving to the world such characters, can and must be done again. The day of individualism is passe; in its stead is the day of cooperation. Individually, the colored man in Texas, in many instances, has done and is doing remarkably well; but our lack of group action and co-ordination of our forces (each for all and for each), is no small factor in retarding our commercial and economic progress. In Houston we find it quite difficult to create and maintain even passing interest in a business league or commercial club, due largely to the fact that we have not been educated to think in terms of each other. If John is getting along all right in his business, is able to pay his bills and make some appreciable headway in the accumulation of material things, he loses sight of Jim who is struggling hard to keep his head above the business waters and often is in imminent danger of sinking. In our anxiety to make money and get up in the business and professional world, we too often lose sight of the scriptural admonition that "the strong must bear the infirmities of the weak" and that "where much is known, much is required." The Informer trusts that the National Negro Business League will initiate its program in the Lone Star state before 1925 expires, for this state certainly stands in need of the kind of program that the national organization plans in Texas and other states. Furthermore, The Informer will do its bit to assist the league heads in fostering the movement in this state, and hopes that the plan as outlined at Tulsa will not die abnormally. The Houston Informer The Mirror-- (Continued from Page One) ers were compelled to respond to several encount. Our only criticism of the Tulsa meeting is that the local committee was not present at hours that the league was trying to hold sessions, and these events naturally diminished the attendance at Tulsa—Nero Tulsa—is wonderful, marvelous, startling, particularly colorful. We have years ago a mob of white hoodies had in waste the entire colored cotton of the buildings, fire, after pillaging, piling and plumbing the places and houses of homestead. But Black Tulsa has come to be the most popular of the buildings are 100 percent better than they were before the fire, and the center of Nero business activity, with its modern and attractive house designs, is the colored people of Tulsa operate their own business in the lines of activity engaged in by our people in this Oklahoma Rube Foster brought his Chicago ball club ball down to meet the Kansas City Chiefs at the Footsteps were no match for the Monarchs, the latter winning all three games, 84-13-10 and 84-12-10.

We were asked to present the weather, league, baseball and other events.

They asked us to return to Texas via Ardmore, and, since a sister of mine resides in said town, we came back via Oklahoma City to Ardmore, spending Saturday night in the latter city. Here we may find the best news. Here is one of the ladies here before referred to and schoolmate of ours; also Misses Alma and Olivia Perry. They are operating nice drug store in the business section of Ardmore. Part of the party spent the night with the Perrys and part of us open the night with Mrs. Alberta. So we have the right to go. Leaving Ardmore around 10 a.m. on Sunday, we pulled up to Prof. Biedt and we ran by and saw the McKinchens. We ran by and saw the McKinchens. We ran by and saw the McKinchens. We ran over for dinner.

The professor-editor also attended the Tulsa meeting and had returned overland with his brother Robert; yet knowing that we were headed that way he and his spouse had made ample preparations for our brief stay. As usual, our stay in Dallas and the Rice home was delightful, and we saw many former Marshallites and Houstonians, among whom were Rev. and Mrs. C. C. Harper, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Hainey, Sam Lacy, Miss Patty Davis, and others. Being near home (Marshall), Miss Rice left us in Dallas and caught the Marshalls special for East Texas. Leaving Dallas Tuesday at 7:00 a. Negro Business In Houston By C. F. RICHARDSON, Editor Houston Informer. Tulsa, Ok. Aug. 19, 1925. Mr. President, Officers and Members of the National Negro Business The subject of my discussion, "Negro Business in Houston," assigned me by Secretary A. L. Holey, in due perhaps, with some Bureaus and facts regarding Negro business in Houston by no a tax at a bureaus honoring Mr. Holey and Mr. Spandling, during the year. As you will observe from some statistics that we shall recite subsequently, Negro business in Houston is large and diverse; individual line; we have no companies, corporations, or cetera, except the insurance companies doing business in our city. Individually, the Negro has made great headway in the community in our city, but collectively, we do not wear clothes, and it seems that some exterior or outside force must be inducted into the community and show our men and women the power in group action and co-ordination of forces. We must organize our ordination, corporations. Everywhere individuals are learning the lessons of all concern; and the man or race that is most interested in the course will be least in the great commercial and economic shuffle, read Far be it from me to even endeavor to take away, discredit or discount any of the honors won by the business and professional men of our race in "Heavenly Houston"—the garden spot of the entire Southwest; the "Manchester of America," where 18 railways and electric interurban lines move from 23 teamship lines; the paradise and Mecca of the black man, with its Negro population variously estimated between 50,000 and 55,000; the only city in the Lone Star State where the colored man can find employment in practically every field of human endeavor, industrially speaking, and then enjoy the fruits of his labors without any municipal ordinances attempting to establish his residential metes and bounds. We merely mentioned the abundance of the "objective concerns" in order that this body of commercial, business and economic leaders and luminaries might know the real facts; and, seeing where we are deficient, endeavor to help us build up and strengthen the weak points. We find it quite difficult in Houston to maintain more than passive interest in our commercial club or business league; despite the fact that we have the largest National population and the most "in-State" and "excessive" consequences in more of our people and engaged in business and following the professions.

Just a few short years ago the clang of the old city clock sounding the fire alarm was the signal for every man, woman and child to cease from all other activities and fall in behind the fire horses, and away to the scene of the fire formation. Little town stuff is a thing of the past; just last week a youth was booked with three charges against him for yielding to the temptation to go to a fire; namely, racing with fire apparatus; parking within two blocks of a fire, and driving a car without a license. Gosh! this old town is growing. Officers of our city usually get their fleeing victim with their trusty "gat," but it remained for an officer's son to get two with one bullet last week—and one happened to be an innocent passerby—a woman at that. Bathers received quite a scare last week when one man caught an alligator with his left heel—as a bait. What was that Rice professor's name who said bathing wasn't a necessity? There is some talk of organizing a Grass Widowers Protective Association in the fourth week soon if a few wives don't hasten their return from summer vacation. "Bill" Ponder is strongly endorsed by the Andrew Street Republican Club as their choice for president. A friend of our, whose "boys" has been all summer, has a new plan. The girls will be accustomed during this long dry spell. He says he has planted beans and onions along the outside of the living room rug. Some horticulturists: Go! Look what our editor has done for Oklahoma. You know, he Editor,扎克·阿莱德, has been a dayday, and here's the report from that state on the next day: * Oklahoma City, Al.

Bayton and Tahquah miniature twisters down and chanced frightened by the rain and caused other small damage. *Rain over all of the eastern part of Oklahoma*, while the western part was covered in dense tufts of an anti-salmon league meeting.* Every now and then—more often now than there—we read where the team has pitched the city council have pitted the city council for certain improvements—white city council, sometimes, and this is quite often, too, why it is that our council—college, we know, has a tenacity to ask or a teney weenie bit of improvements from a city whose upwea is to be called a city, galued by continually grubbing and complaining, to each other, and never compelled to those who have the power to make a decision to say, "Ask and we may receive," the put emphasis on the ask, and then the complaint, and not understanding it came too late to be much help to this year's crop year coming and the cattle need to fall and winter, one must conclude that the rink, though coming late, was not to this and other occurrences of Texas.

He was on the scene when leaders were few and when he was to do. As the pastor of Aniobich Baptist Church, and later of Bedi Baptist Church, and later of Bedi Baptist Church, that is due to his advice and wise counsel that the Fourth ward could at least own the owners than any other section of the city. His advice was always to say that he is given the credit for the founding of Houston College, in honoring the memory of Jack Yates not only done itself credit, but honors the colored CIMBEE'S RAMBLINGS 武 Deer Gus: I ses er hole lot er things ter yu fus' an' las' in deze episaus dat i rites yu ever weak, an' er hole lot uv 'em yu tucka fer jokes an' passes 'em up. but.
