Usually they’re gone to fancy dress ball or a movie. If they were attending some medical convention, you could excuse them. Why, just the other night at the theatre, Dr. Smith, who sat next to me, was called by an usher, and what do you think? Why, he said, ‘Til come just as soon as the next two feels are over.’ Don’t tell me.” Brother Bones added with a snap, “I’ll never call another one.” “But,” remonstrated the opponent, “don’t you think the colored doctor is as proficient in his line as the colored barber is in his?” “Nor, sir!” replied the contender, whipping the shears angrily. “If I thought I was as lax as Dr. Smith, I’d quit,” he shouted. Just then the door was opened by a neatly dressed professional appearing to the gentleman, who at once responded to the question. “Good morning, gentlemen,” he said, taking the first vacant chair; “and how are you gentlemen today?” he inquired pleasantly, as Brother Bones quickly turned his back to the newcomer. “By the way, Mr. Bones,” the physician said, pleasantly, “I was down this morning and Dr. Jones called me in to go over the history of your wife’s case. He apologized for his diagnosis, and said he would like to continue the case in constant consultation with my first diagnosis and treatment were correct. I told him that if it was agreeable to you, I would gladly do so.” "What!" exclaimed the critic, "and how much will the cost be?" "Well, responded the physician, "he has agreed to continue the case free of charge, and my fee-well, you can include that in your last year's bill, and any time you happen to have the money to spare will be all right," concluded the physician, aniline. "Thank you, doctor," replied the critic, "and your heavy chackure with the hum of the clippers."

As a sample of the comments telegraphed to The World by South Carolina editors, are the following: "Pierre H. Pike, Editor - Spartanburg Journal: "The Aiken lynching is one of the foulest blots on the honor of South Carolina. .. Those who participated in the Aiken lynching know in their hearts that they are cowardly, brutal murderers. .. The punishment of the guilty parties ought to be the business of every citizen of South Carolina." "Charles O. Hearon, Editor - Spartanburg Herald: "Every man who respects law and order should demand that the mob members be punished." "R. Charlton Wright, Editor - Columbia Record: The Aiken lynchings stand out as the most ferocious and abhorrent crimes committed in South Carolina during the many years of my residence here." A number of editors, however, resent "outside intrusion" and predict there will be no convictions no matter what the evidence uncovered.

Douglas, Ga.—A notable victory in the warfare against lynching was scored in superior court here recently when nine men admitted guilt in the lynching of Dave Wright on August 27, and were sentenced to the penitentiary. Major Brown, alleged leader of the mob, was given a life sentence; the other eight received sentences ranging from four to twenty years. Three others accused of the same crime plead not guilty and are being placed on trial, while four more who are under indictment are being sought by the officers. General satisfaction with the verdict is expressed, both here and over the state. Judge Harry Reed, who had jurisdiction in the case, the grand jury which returned the indictments, the county sheriff, and other court officials are being highly committed for their prompt and vigorous handling of the case, in spite of threats and attempted intimidation.

LONG BROTHERS RENEWED FIGHT; FRED IS WINNER (By NICK CARTER) Marshall, Tex., Nov. 11.—For the first time in four years, Fred Long's Wiley Wildcats triumphed over Harry Long's Paul Quinn Tigers in the annual annual brother vs. brother contest, for teaching them how Long was the Harry's still in the lead with two contests wyn, one lost and one tied, but today's 30-0 victory should ease the elder Long's stings of defeat by his brother and the year-end of the year. It was a determination: Paul Quinn eleven that took the field against the Wildcats, but a powerful line inspired by the brilliant work of "Goo Goo" Livingston. Wiley's candidate for the year-end of the year was the other of the set of fighting bricks, was too much for the Tigers' inexperienced team. Green as the Tigers were, in the first and second periods they stopped the powerful Wiley eleven in the shadow of the field. Kilmon, Todd, Briggs, Owens, Campbell and Young were also towers of strength in the Wildcat line, while Kelley, Jennings and Morgan were outstanding from Paul Quinn viewpoint. The cast-years-old Paul Quinn's riled on Captain Miller's droplack from the 23-yard line, and a touchdown during the last two minutes on Miller's pass to Livingston and a run of 35-0. The் reptile, the் leaping, thes Reynolds circled left and for the second marker in the third period, while Livingston snatched up a blocked Tiger punt and ran 20 yards to score the third touchdown.

HOUSTON, TEXAS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1926 Improved Uniform International SundaySchool Lesson (By RY H., P. H. FISHWATER, D.D., Dean of Day and Evening Schools, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (d. 1282, Western, Newmaner (Tulane). Lesson for November 28 GIODEON AND THE THREE HUNDRED LESSON TEXT—Judges 1:2-8. GOLDEN TEXT—He strong in the light, PRIIMARY TOPIC-Giodeon and JUNIOR TOPIC-Giodeon and JUNIOR TOPIC—A Brave Leader, INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE ADULT PEOPLE and strongholds (Judges 6:2). Because of Israel's sin, God permitted them to be brought under the cruel knee of bondage at the hands of the Midianites. So grievous was the bondage of the Lord that caves and strongholds (Judges 6:2). In their distress they cried unto the Lord and He sent deliverance to them from the bondage of the Lord appeared to him at the post of duty, Giodeon of the Lord accepted but to unbelief but to modesty and cautiousness. He came from an obscure -and unofficially journal (Judges 6:15). A tougher evidence began for him price he wished to be doubly sure that God called him hardy (Judges 6:34). A tougher evidence began for him his reformary work at once (Judges 6:28-27). He not only began at once, but became at home. This is God's order. 1. The Opposing Armes (v. 1). Gibson and his army are on the ground and encamped on the hills, and encamped by the spring of Hervor. Over against them was the host of the enemy, and the army was quite significant in comparison with the Midianites. 1. The Fitting of Gibson's Army (v. 1). At Gibson's call, 22,000 men responded ready for the struggle. This army led to beating and self-conferring. The Midianites army 150,000 strong, but God said even this was too many, lest they be led to battling and self-conferring in their small army in their pride. All that were faith-kept were alarms. There were 22,000 inwards to the group of men and worst of all, they were not ashamed to confess it. Still, they were not ashamed to confess it. Still, through with His aid processing only 80 remained. The 10,000 were brave and strong. Those who lapped the water showed alertness and watchfulness. 1. God Given Encouragement to the army. God commanded Gideon to go down to the Midianite camp where he would hear something that would cheer his heart and strengthen his hands. God always comes to cheer us when our hearts are faint. When he came near he heard a man tell a dream which was that of a barley cake tumbling into the camp and smiting it. He also heard the interpretation given to that dream which made Gideon to be that cake. This greatly cheered his heart and strengthened him for his work and caused him to break forth in praise to God. The barley cake is a very insignificant thing—a very cheap affair in itself, but with the hand of God upon it it would be sufficient to spread consternation among the Midianites and bring destruction upon their armies. No matties how weak and insignificant a man may be, if God is with him he shall not fall. IV. God Gives Victory to Gideon (vv. 18-28). His attack was unique. The whole matter was of faith (Hes. 11, 132). The three men were given the token which he had given him. Gideon with his 30 men formed into three companies, each men being armed in a pitcher. Thrown armies they surrounded the camp of the Midians. They were all instructed to keep their weapons in the pitcher. They moved them blew their trumpets and broke their pitchers' giving opportunity. The awful crush of breaking pitchers accompanied by the ablution "the awful Midians into a panic, causing them to fight amongst themselves" 120,000 were then slain, leaving 10,000 of them to be torched as the light of the Gospel; the pitchers our human nature, the whole as this treasure in earthen vessels. To Be Free From Sin If you would be free from sin, my temptation; be that you not endeavor to harm the God; be that you dare to protect him from the other.

Samuel Wilson Rutherford at Tu lane Avenue Baptist Church Sunday evening, held the audience spellbound for one hour in a plain, commonsense talk fraught with wisdom and counsel which, if headed, would be the salvation of the Negro in business. After a brief half hour of devotional service, Rev. E. W. White turned the service over to Dr. G. W. Lucas, president of the N. A. A. C. P., whose guest he was. Dr. Lucas, in a few brief but chosen and appropriate remarks, introduced the speaker, who, after reading a verse of the Scripture as a basis for his remarks, delved into his discourse, which was listened to with rapt attention. The auditorium was packed and jammed from pulpit to door and galleries filled. The speaker told how so much he had his business, of the success of the great National Benefit Life Insurance Co., of which he is head, and urged the audience not to despise the day of small things. He urged the colored people to get together, go into business, trust each other and quit being so jealous of each other. He showed how there was money enough among the Negroes to capitalize almost any business and give employment to thousands of our people. He urged the amulation of the Jews who, like the Negro, had been isolated, but who made their way by controlling the finances of the country. The address was well received by the audience and the folk went away, and the band members furnished their charming music, singing only songs of Negro composition. The business and professional men of the band were invited to the dresses were made. It is generally thought that the visit of Mr. Rutherford and his sister to party to New Orleans will be fruitful.

TURNER'S TOE BEAT WILEY "WILDCATS" IN HECTIC BATTLE TURNER'S TOE BEAT WILEY "WILDCATS" IN HECTIC BATTLE (By WILLIAMS FRANKS.) Marshall, Texas—Continues their wild rampage in pursuit of the Southern Corners, a championship, the Prairie View Panthers, after defeating Bishop College to the tune of 27 to 0, moved on to Marshall to meet the Wiley Wildcats on their home grounds. In the Cats' own lair the Panthers scratched and clawed their way to a 3 to 0 victory. Four three successive years the Prairie View Panthers have rooted and rolled her rivals, the Wiley Wildcats in red mud. The game was hard-fought from beginning to end, being played mostly in midfield, both teams being forced to play time and again. The first half ended 0 and 0. In the beezoning of the third quarter, Turner, cool and able general of the Panthers, after many attempts at line bucking which netted only one-third down, attempted a field goal from the Cats' 46-yard line and missed it by only a few millimeters. The Panthers' score came in the fourth quarter when the Cats attempted drog kick from Panthers' 46-yard line was blocked and Moseley, Panther right guard, recovered the ball and raced to the Cats' 49-yard line. After a penalty and completed pass which netted 1 years on the fourth down, 16 yards on the four-yard advantage of his perfect toe, Turner took advantage of his perfect toe and booted the ball perfectly between the bars from an angle of forty-five degrees. The Wildcats only chance to score came just before the final gun shot when Livingston, Wiley's right end snagged a pass and raced down the field for 50 yards, but was stopped by the fleet-footed "Nubby" Arnold left half back for the Panthers, who overtook Livingston from the rear, and ruined the Cats' only chance for a score. With the ball on their own 8 yard line the Panthers held for three downs, when on the fourth of the Cats fumbled and the Panthers recovered and held the pigskin until the final gunshot. For the Panthers Turner, Moseley and Arnold were the outstanding figures, while Scott and "Siki!" Campbell showed up well for the Wildcats. Officials: Referee—Carter (Knoxville); umpire, Phillips (Bishop); headlinesman, Pierce (Atlanta); timekeeper, Sells and Tolson. TID BITS Some fish make nests of sticks and weeds.

Washington, D.C.—The plans of the National Association of Colored Women en's Clubs to place their national home and headquarters at Washington, D.C., are being quietly developed by President Mary McLeod Bethune with every prospect that by the time of the next biennial the headquarters will be ready for dedication. The growing importance of the national association in the affairs of the race and the nation coupled with the fact that practically all other important organizations of national calibre, including the National Association of Women's Clubs (white) have headquarters in Washington, led the women's club to determine upon a home in the capital from which should radiate out to all sections of the country the results of their work and influence. The splendid achievement of the association in saving and rehabilitating the Frederick Douglass Home in Anacostia led many of the delegates to the last session to suggest it as the permanent headquarters. Its inaccessible however, as was pointed out by Mrs. Bethune led to the decision to place it in Washington proper and the president was empowered to proceed to secure the building and equipment within a limitation of $50,000. The constitution and by laws were revoked so as to provide a Fiat rate of $1.00 per dollar of each dollar 15 per cent be placed to the credit. Domingue Home Bank will be responsible for the loan and 70 per cent will be used for administration purposes, including the publishing of the national notes which the bank will issue. The Cook author is now to be published under the direction of Mrs. Rebecca Taylor. Mrs. Taylor has assumed the position of assistant to Mrs. Bethune at Dayton and Mrs. Taylor is secretary in affairs of the association.

In kunklushun, Deer Gus, I wodd Deer Gus: The Houston Informer EDITORIALS It is ludicrous, inconsistent and preposterous for us to waste so much precious time trying to adopt plans to enforce the pro law or Volstead act, and on the other hand become or remain completely estranged and alienated from other constitutional authorities. We should respect for constituted authority we so much desire, but which we are going about in a wrong way to attain and obtain. Passing Parade Published every Saturday at 409-410 Odd Fellows Temple, Houston, Tex. Didu have anything to be thankful for? Enclosed as second-class matter May 28, 1519, at the postoffice at Houston, Texas, under the Act of March 3, 1799 The first ten amendments to the American constitution were proclaimed to be in force December 15, 1791, and though they have been the written law of the land for fully 182 years, they are not the only amendments to the constitution in any number of American states, and particular our section. Waltera Iligano Solomon, the distinguished looking editor-minister teachers grabo trotter, eating one of the celebrated meals at the Y. W. C. A. And yet most of our Southern governors, prohibitionists and moral reformers are raising more sand and hullabaloo about the 18th amendment's observance and enforcement than about all the other amendments combined, most of which assure and vouch-safe to all American citizens their human, civic, religious and political rights and privileges. Mesdames C. W. Rice and Ed Jones the latter being truant officer, a postmaster, and the latter being band, who is now a city detective. These two indices seem to be quite well. Well, it isn't our friend, Lisa Beauchamp, looking fit and fine a long side of age. He's named the famed Roman writer of *The Grapes*. The 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the national constitution were made enforceable, by proclamation, largely and chiefly, between December 18, 1865, and March 30, 1870; and, despite their age and guarantees, with congress empowered to enforce them in toto, they are about as dead as Hector when he was 18 years old, that of ancient city when the overthrow and destruction by the Greeks.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1926 Is the 18th amendment any more vital, important and essential to the other constitutional amendments and guarantees? A law, even a constitutional amendment, means very little in the United States, if the people decide among themselves that they will not observe it, and the public officials seem to be wholly and solely committed to the policy of nullification through non- "OPEN REBELLION AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION!" Rev. J. R. Burdette, pastor before Baptist Church, who is preaching some mighty sermons here of late; "pep have returned to the reverend." At the recent general election, the voters in several states were afforded an opportunity to express, by ballot, their attitude towards the Volstead act, or the 18th (prohibition) amendment to the constitution of the United States of America. So many constitutional amendments have been held in open defiance and contempt by American people, that the present effort is rather belated; and it causes a student of history to laugh up his sleeve at such procedure. Ever since this amendment became a part of the basic laws of our republic, it has engrossed considerable public attention forming the theme for numerous articles and addresses, being employed by the politicians for political purposes, and attracting more attention and eliciting more comment and discussion, favorable and unfavorable, than any appendix to the American constitution. The elevator boy wants to know what is the difference between a community chest and a family cedar chest. Millions of dollars for trying to enforce the 18th amendment to the federal constitution, but not one cent for trying to enforce the provisions of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the same constitution! Colored of Colored High School foot ball players trying to explain how Beaumont deflected the last Satriani Oil City. Just out scored you, boys! Regulating a man's appetite or trying to do what nature has never done (and, perhaps, never will do), may be all right and proper, but regulating man's conduct towards his fellowman and insuring to all citizens the same rights and privileges in a democratic republic such as ours, strike us as of far more consequence and import. Speaking before the Texas Baptist General Convention (white), last week at San Antonio, former Governor Gat M. Neff, convened a national issue in the presidential election of 1928; and he further asserted, with much emphasis, that "the prohibition law should be enforced by all states, and any state refusing to co-operate in its enforcement commits an act of open rebellion against the con- J.

To drink or not to drink, is not the question involved in the position assumed by the Informer in this partial and political agitation. It is not the question involved in the amendment; but there is a greater and more far-reaching principle involved and stake: the issue and question of the right of the people to abrogate and nullify one constitutional amendment at will and to religiously and zealously observe, obey and enforce Gilbert T. Stoks, Y.-M. C. A. execs from the University of California along with T. J. Johnson of the Y. M. C. A. football team, why the attack is not on team with Galveston Island. As a riveting argument, the former governor of Texas added: "The law does not respect and obey the law, we shall demonstrate to the world that we are a pack of law-breakers rather than a parliament of law-makers. When a people disregard any law they are The building pessimist says that he would have given to the Community Chest. If he had been admired his dime employed "In the right direction." Temperoring and compromising with one evil merely creates additional, and often, more menacing, dangerous and destructive evils, and the 18th amendment's fate and rough treatment at the hands of the federal government. American citizens prove the veracity of our statements. This is a strong indictment against our vaunted civilization, but as long as the law of cause and effect is operative and time endures, we can still be held accountable for our stitutional amendment, and wink and connive at the non-observance and non-enforcement of other amendments to the same conventions. Talk, about team work and getting together, you should have lumped those colored workers in the recent Community Chest drive. They labored like the provenula Trojans and they worked their results, though off to a belated start. Yes, gentlemen, there are a few more constitutional amendments that should also receive our attention and consideration, and while we are adopting plans to enforce the prohibition law, suppose we simply enlarge our program and include all the con If the Southern states (ex-Governor Neff's state included) can nullify and run rough-shod on the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, as well as the 4th and 6th, why can not the Northern states, by the same method of reasoning and "rebellious" procedure, consign the 18th constitutional amendment to the torrid clime of the plutocratic regions? Three old timers in conversation W. L. Jones of Boley, Rev. W. M. M. Green ('Lang Green') and M. B. M. Green ('Lang Green') in day, they clap with one accord. Such a far-reaching and widespread program would impress the people more with the sincerity and earnestness of our undertaking and at the same time would be more instrumental in educating and training the people on the majesty of the law and suprem- The Informer is a not supporter nor advocate of the liquor traffic, nor does this paper hold any brief for the Bootleggers' Association or Moonshiners' Federation; for this editor contended for prosecution and woman suffrage long before either became law of this law.

To single out one particular constitutional amendment and focus and center all our efforts on that one, while neglecting and willfully refusing to even consider or mention the others, is calculated to undermine our ability to govern and the cause whose advancement we purport to espouse. Selah! However, The Informer can not subscribe to nor embrace the doctrine of having fits and "jimmies" about the nullification and non-observance of the prohibition amendment, and then resting on the same basis as the other of other amendments attached to this same national documents.

HOUSTON'S INDOMITABLE SPIRIT WINS AGAIN! With an oversubscription of nearly $12,000, the Houston Community Chest drive, conducted here last week among members of both races, has again gone "over the top," and everybody, in addition to public-spirited citizens, is jubilant with such flattering results. As it has probably been a long time since the vast majority of these staunch defenders and rabid proponents of the 18th amendment attended school and studied America history, the Declaration of Independence—called the Magna Charta of the western hemisphere—and the constitution of our common country, we will learn that we have benefited of these and others, some excerpts from both documents. TID-BITS TID-BITS "Mia was used by the Greeks and Romans to make windowpanes. Large ashpit beds have been dis covered recently in the Philippines. Unlike most Southern cities who either fall in their objective along this line, or must import and trust such drives to high-powered and high-salaried "experts," our community conducts these annual campaigns with local workers and not a single failure has ever been registered thus far; which speaks volumes for the indomitable spirit of Houstonians of both races. The pulling power of an ordinary railroad engine equals that of nine hundred horses. The Declaration of Independence sets forth unassailable and unanswerable argument and lays down the fundamental and in- American people are buying goods on credit at the rate of $5,000,000,000 a year. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable powers. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted by the people, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable powers. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most necessary. The country of Thibet is reported to have only one motor vehicle, which is a motorcycle. With the goal set at $450,000, $20,000 more than last year and at a time when the cotton slump has put a damper on business, the citizens of Houston subscribed more than $461,235 to the 1927 fund for organized charity and welfare work. A torch that can cut steel in a sunk en ship, at any depth, has been devised. While no definite and accurate information is obtainable just now regarding the exact amount the colored citizens of Houston pledged and donated to the chest drive, it is estimated that more than $10,000 of this huge sum came from our people, nearly $10,000 collected and reported through the colored organization, when the city purchased the pleasure and fortune to direct for the second consecutive year. Wild potatoes in Chile grow about as big as hazelnuts.

The Informer wishes to congratulate and commend the colored captains—Alphonse Mills, Miss Virginia B. Miller, Prof. C. H. McGruder, Rev. T. M. Jackson and J. T. Meridith—and their aides, for the excellent results accomplished, despite the fact that the colored workers were not given an opportunity to function in the preliminary survey made the week prior to the drive.

McCarthy, he played in marshaling their forces during the drive, and to the management of the many courtesies and wonderful culinary service accorded the colored chest workers. That the colored organization might get into the preliminary campaign in the 1927 drive, the job was to confer with chest directors regarding this matter: Rev. J. S. Scott, Rev. J. R. Burdette, Gilbert W. Baldwin, and R. B. Bell.

To that end an organization committee was created, consisting of ten members and headed by Mrs. Minnie U. Fuller, a well known leader among the white community. The committee is Judge Jesse Gibson Jones, Dr. J. G. Iah and others will represent the colored group. The organization committee was instructed to select with great care a representative state committee and to make a survey of interracial conditions in the community its first meeting, as a suggestive basis for the program. It is expected that the committee will be early in 1927, at which time an executive secretary will be named, a pro-community organization of local organization will begin.
