BISHOP'S PRESIDENT ILL
The conductor of this column has been informed of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, our alma mater, is not in the best of health, and that he is com- pleted with a serious injury. The char- titative affairs of this noted institution of learning to others.
Succeeding Dr. A. B. Coffee as the head of the school in 1909, President Maxson, who was previously engaged in educational work in the school, and who was later noted for college about 20 years; serving longer than any other of the school during its entire history; was never rated and regarded as an outstanding educator, schoolman and college exce- sionary; and was the recommen- tation to the American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York City. Mr. Maxson be retired with an annu- nary for the services he has rendered to the school, the society and the social order.
In his declining years it is not pos- titioned to work which would be remunerative and which would be in keeping with the position he has held for all these.
"Well does this writer remember when Mr. Maxson first resided Bishop College, Hale, hard, strong and robust despite his years among the Filipinos. His high dis- sension, apparently, had the campus in their grip; for the then retiring Bishop, and enduring another year, he had been prevalent among a cer- tain group of students during the prese- school school."
Determined to brook no interference, President Maxson entered upon what were to call the "big stick," for wherever he went he carried his larger sticks and protection or physical aid, none ever knew, but many had their beliefs, ophthalmic and conjectural, stronger than its weakest link, no longer is man stronger than his supposed wife wife; and durer than his beloved benyne, Mrs. Maxson has been a tower of strength and source of inspiration available for the music department, Mrs. Maxson forsok domestic duties and devoted several hours each day and night to keep alive the spirit of music until the school was fortunate enough to orients. Not only has their family been numerically since their stay at Riship, but the Grim Reaper has invaded their home and is now a part of the journalistic seas, this editor has not found a more loyal and constant support of the "boys" of pastimes—men of today—is hoping and praying that our president's life might be prolonged and that the board will continue to arm him; at the same time electing him president emeritus of the school which he has served so faithfully.
AFTER SCHOOL—WHAT?
"The On-to-School" movement is a杖涯othy and praiseworthy movement in a school setting. A small part in inducing and encouraging many youths to enter school or continue in school and secure the type of education they need, equip and fit them for serviceable and worthwhile careers, the intelligences and intelligence and the young man or woman who enters the arena of life void of educational training, will find the most difficult—in fact, almost impossible. In the athletic realm, particularly in other forms of athletic competitions and games, no sensible person would enter any competition period or engage in athletic training; and the youth or athlete who does not train and stay (Continued on Editorial Paper)
Mound City Editor Has Feelings Hurt
Colored Journalist, Publisher Mound City Newspaper, Seeks Damages From Mrs. Malone. Refused Entrance To Poro Auditorium During National Music Association—Pice Aid Sought In Vain—Excoriated Poro Head In Scathing and Vitriolic Article.
St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—Asking $100,000 because of "injury to his feelings." Edgar G. Brown, editor of the Standard News, a paper published here, entered suit in the St. Louis Circuit Court last Wednesday against Mrs. Annie M. Malone of Poro College. Brown complains that he was ejected from Poro College as an undesirable on the night of August 22, when he attempted to enter the building to attend a recital.
Opinion here seems to regard the suit lightly and to consider it but the culmination of a series of more or less spectacular attacks which Brown has made upon Mrs. Malone. Brown, it is answered, has been accused of having a chain of events and articles, several of the latter having caused his arrest by federal and state authorities. He is understood to be at liberty on bail at this time.
The rebuff upon which Brown bases his suit occurred during the evening of August 22. The National Association of Negro Musicians denounced the assault and the had donated the auditorium of the building for the occasion.

Norfolk, Va.—Three of the group of white men alleged to have forced their attentions upon three white girls Monday evening, on Broad Creek road, and then assaulted E. H.

Mr. Harris, who lives with his family at 2611 Broad Creek road, sheltered the young women upon his premises when they sought safety there from the pursuit of the men, and refused the demands toward them that the behead and further molest the young indies. For protecting the girls both he and his wife were attacked and severely assaulted by the assailants.
Two colored policemen were stationed inside the building, and when Brown, who it is said had made his presence obnoxious in the building, appeared, an officer touched him on the shoulder, and formed him that he could not enter.
Brown Sought Police Aid
Brown raised a storm, but finding it of no avail, went to the nearest police station, where a white sergeants. It was explained by the colored policemen that Edgar was a former officer, advised him they were unable to aid him, and he retired. In the next issue of his paper, however, he was arrested for violently, and later brought his action.
Attorneys Call Suit "A Joke"
Speaking of the suit, one of Mrs. Malone's attorneys said, "It's a joke and has no merit. There is nothing to it. Except an ill-advised mean attempt to achieve cheap notoriety by any means.

Brown Well-Known Character
Brown is a well-known character about the country. For a long time he was an itinerant newspaper man who was the colorist of the colored national tennis championship. Even then he was the center of frequent bickering and dissension with the Mine. C. J. Walker Company. He managed a theatre for a while in Philadelphia, where he has been identified with numerous promotions and efforts, in Philadelphia. Recently he is being the Standard News team has achieved something of a reputation as a scandal sheet, and which was known as Malone's organ during the 1920s.

Texas Injunction Rallying Ground
Imperial Council Holds Annual Session at Newark, N. J.—Imperial Potentate Blake Sounds Battle-Cry—Colored Shriners Aroused To Action, As Well As Masonic Grand and Blue Lodges—Money Raised For Legal Contest—Columbus, Ohio, Secures 1928 Meeting.
Newark, N. J.—(ANP)—A bit of serious advice was injected into the twenty-eighth annual session of the Imperial Council, Ancient, Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine that held a day meeting here last week, when Caesar R. Blake, Jr., imperial potentate of the order, delivered his annual address.
Speaking with the burning intensity of one who is thoroughly familiar with the legal troubles brought upon the Shriners by white enemies, he easily aroused his audience and painted a vivid picture of what the Shriners could do if they would remain a unit.
Blake informed his followers that it is the disposition of Texas white Shriners to fight his organization to the finish. He assured the nobles that the finish, however, was on their side, because they had the edge on their opponents.
Unless they were representing the organization, the Supreme Court of the United States granted a writ of certiorari in the Texas decision wherein the courts of that state were asked to restrain colored Shriners from operating. The imperial potentate regards the appeal as a partial victory for the Shrine order. He explained that the appeal meant that the Supreme Court of Texas has set aside until October the decision, furthering the meantime, the Supreme Court refrained a writ of certiorari in the suit brought against them by the white Shriners of Texas.
Williams Heads Baptist Forces For Another Year
Chicago Pastor, Texas Product and Outstanding Religious Figure, Back In Office For Sixth Successive Term—Other Executive Officers Re-elected—Sectional Hospital Proposed—World Problems Discussed—Large Attendance Reported—Work of Pierson, Former Houstonian, Praised.
Detroit, Mich.—(ANP)—For the sixth successive term, between ten and twelve thousand Baptists, members of the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, meeting for its 47th annual session, elected Dr. L. K. Williams, pastor Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, president, and placed in office again the other executive officers of the convention, at a meeting held here last Thursday.
The custom of electing the president at the afternoon meeting of the first day was not adhered to this year, although there was no noticeable opposition to Williams' continuance in the office. Some of the insiders asserted that the state caucuses had not been held and that that caused the carrying over of the election from Day to Night.
Hake urged them to use special efforts to secure financial donations from their grand lodges, grand convent and other churches, immediately upon their return to their various homes to aid the needy. They also helped their legal battle next month.
Masonic Bodies Endangered
"I would to God," continued Blake, "that each grand master could see the danger that is lurking for Masonry in this attack which is made against our Masonic organization over the shoulder of the Shrine. In the final analysis, all of our descendants of Ham and must stick together." Through its most worshipful grand master, W. T. Woods, the grand lodge

LESSON TEXT-I Kings 18:1-24.
GOLDEN TEXT-Pride goeth before

PRIMARY TOPIC-God Punches in
JUNIOR TOPIC-God Punches in
THE KINGDOM DIVIDED
INTERNALIZE AND SENIOR TOPIC- The Folly of Pride.
II. The Polish of Pride.
ADULT TOPIC- How to Prevent Divisions.
The movements leading up to the disruption of the kingdom had begun in Solomon's reign. He saw in Jeroboam the leader of insurrection and the attempt to Egypt until Solomon's death (I. Kings 11:40). Having been informed by the prophet Abba that he would be taken to rule, as he heard of Solomon's death he returned to be ready to take up his work.
II. The Gentleman of the People (v. 1-4).
This was occasioned by the burden of excessive taxation and enforced looting. In order to build costly houses and temples for his heaten wives. The people were grumbling and shouting in order to build the new king Rebeoham, the people, through their leader Jeroboam, came with the rebel army to fight the lighter, promising loyalty to him on the condition of lightened burdens.
II. Rebeoham's Foolish Decision.
II. Rebeoham's Foolish Decision.
1. Rebolho consulted with the old men (vs. 5-7). These were men with the right to be advisers. Being acquainted with the condition as imposed by Solomon, and knowing the temper of the people, they advised that the people's request be satisfied. 2. Rebolho consulted the young men (vs. 8-11). These young men had grown up with him, possibly his wife, and were being advised that the burdens be increased. Being thus brought up in the luxury of the haren, they were ignorant of the legal right of the people, and were advised that the burdens be increased. 3. Rebolho followed the advice of the young men (vs. 15-18). At the time of the revolt, he posed to the people. He even answered them roughly, asserting his purpose to increase their burdens and sorrows. He also answered the rule and that it was the people's role to obey regard of conditions. 11. The Revolt of the Ten Trees 11. The Revolt of the Ten Trees 11. Upon Rebolho's announcement of his rash purpose all Israel cried out, "What portion have we in David?"
1. Rebelboah's attempt to collect tribute (vv. 18, 19). As he endeavored to collect tribute from the ten tribes he had taken, he was stoned to death. So violent was the opposition on the part of the people that Rebelboah had to flee to Jerusalem to hide him in king over (vv. 20). They seem to have lost no time in selecting a head so as to be strong in their opposition to the ten tribes to return to David (vv. 21-24).
2. Rebelboah's attempt to compel the ten tribes to return to David (vv. 21-24). As he assembled his army of 100,000 men. Through the prophecy of Shemaltu, which forbade them to go against their brethren, they were pursued to return.
3. *V. Jerusalem*'s Scheme to Unify the tribes of 100,000 men. *I. He established calf worship* (vv. 81-83).
(1) He built houses and high places (vv. 31). This was against the prophecy of Shemaltu, which forbaded them to destroy the high places and to break down the idolatrous centers. So we see that Jerusalem's sinful disbelief God.
The surest sign of worms in children is paleness, lack of interest in play, freutfulness, variable appetite, picking at the nose and sudden start of vomiting.

AMERICAN GIANTS DEFEAT BUCK WEAVER, COMPANY Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) After jumping into first place Friday by defeating Kansas City, the American Giants sought more lands to conquer and Sunday afternoon met the Hammond Club, headed by Buck Weaver, formerly the greatest third baseman in the American League. The meeting was a huge success for the Giants, the greatest of the white boys to the tune of 5-8. Playing before a big crowd—many whom had come to see Weaver in action, as he is a great favorite in the Giants, the turn in one of the best games of the season. For four and offshift innings the two teams fought to a scoreless tie.

Individual honors should never be the case this season. Wiley played players in a greater Wiley football team for them. They are out to defeat their two greatest rivals, Sam Hunt and Prairie View.

Tiger Flowers In 'Come-Back' Fight Shows Old Cunning
(BY TALISMAN)
New York City. —(ANP) -Tiger Flowers, former boss of the middle-aged, brought with tough Joe Anderson of Kentucky, "suh," that he has to be reckoned with when crows are being ordered by heavyweight champion. Not a few of the experts say in *Flowers* detail in the story of the champion Walker, the passing of the picture-season deacon who hails from Camille, France, and the men and mice, Flowers fooked the wise boys in betting row and convinced the experts that the still retains the edge of the game for him the蒋懦 for "perpetual motion" machine. Anderson only a few years later, and the hardest gift of his brilliant career, not a few writers avowing as how the decision against the Kentuckyuck
The odds slightly favored "Tiger" but thousands of kopks changed their national victory. Mickey Walker and his dapper manager, Jack Kearns the former, took the Garden from ringed seats, and be believe us, the pair of them received a championship title in this minnow. In the event of Anderson's winning, the team took Mickey Walker for middleweight bout in case the "Tiger" emerged victor, the price charged before his eye was cut. In the coming Tommy Loughran-McTeague imbrogate. Not one of the 10,000 of Anderson's opponents to see the battle was of any other opinion than flowers would light-heart the battle of their gay young lives, and well go a step further to any middle or light heavy extant on the show he made with tough Joon of Kentucky and other parts South. or the victor of the Wilberforce-West Virginia classic.
Langston University, which is now knocking at the door of the Southern Athletic conference at Notre Dame is the host of the conference, plays the big three of the conference on three successive Saturdays in October. Starting with Sam Husband on Oct. 1, the team feated, like Langston, on Oct. 7, in Langton, they play Piaview View the following week and then journey to Wiley at the Texas state fair.

If the South is such a benighted and dismal plate as so many

render and maintain the entire American commonwealth a dem-

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1927
STILL TALKING ABOUT TEXAS!
In its issue of last week, our esteemed journalistic contempo-
rary, the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courier, discussed in an editorial the
Josing fight waged by Dallas and Texas to secure the 1929 bien-
‘nial supreme lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias: and this
d paper assumed the attitude that the highest tribunal
“fin Pythian ranks administered a proper and “merited rebuke to
“the jimerow South, parteuarly Texas”
If the failure or refusal of the colored Pythians to hold thelr
"1029 biennial meeting at Dallas was prompted by a desire to “get
“even” with the white citizens of Dallas, Texas, and the South,
“then the order has forsaken its time-honored and ancient. prin-
“ciples of “‘frientiship, charity (love) and benevolence;” and in its
“toad has instituted the old doctrine of “an eye for an eye and a
“tooth for a tooth.”
__ Far be it from The Informer to bemoan the faét that Texas was
“unsuccessful in its effort to secure the next biennial session of
“the colored Pythians for Dallas in 1929, but some of our Northern
“raters really amuse us by prescribing: panaceas and remedies for
“uring the ills of the South.
"It is true that the South is the hot-bed of racial hatred, jim-
“crowism, disfranchisement, segregation, lynching, and numerous
“other injustices and inequalities, which are perpetrated chiefly
Mica micabers of the Negro raco; it it is lkawie trun Wat wo
“reform movement was ever initiated or engineered by those who
“mere afraid to tackle the issues and problems peculiar to their sec-
“tion and clime—and do that job right at home!
“Never in the annals of warfare has any notable military victory
“Deen achieved by long-distance fighting, or by an army that re-
“treated from the line of martial conflict; neither has any moral,
“tocial, political, athletic or even religious fight ever been won by
“rebuking” tactics, retaliatory measures as such, or by long: range
“denunciations and invectives.
‘The Pythians boast of boing “brave boys,” and yet, according
“to the Courier editorial, they to not possess sulficient bravery and
Antrepidity to spend one week in the South with their rackal and
fraternal brothers—aven in the face of jim-crowism, segregation,
“isfranchisement, moboeracy: and “*hellocracy”—and thereby ex:
“emplify the proper fraternal spirit
“Furthermore, ‘The Informer has observed that ‘the brother” in
those Northern and Rostern states, who boasts and prates about
‘the race's liberty, freedom and: opportunity in sections removed
from the bourbon South, has, very little to show for all his de-
“Glaiming and proclaiming; for even in the Pythian order the most
“substantial and best fixed state jurisdictions are below the Mason
"and Dixon line. i
“Another thing: In the recent sectional fight waged at the su-
‘preme Pythian lodge at Chicago, which was precipitated by a pres-
fent and life-long resident of the South, Northern Pythians liter-
“ally outvoted Southern Pythians in casting an affirmative vote for
Dallas, and the grand chancellor of Pennsylvania was among the
Northern bloc favoring Texas.
‘The Informer insisted then and contends now that the issue of
‘section, per se, was not the issue that provoked “one of the hottest
eontests ever waged in the entire history of the order,” according
to our Smoky City contemporary. ‘Sectionalism and opposition to
Texas and the South simply served as the smoke-sereen to becloud
‘the real issue,
Not only was the Pythian supreme lode organized in the South
Vicksburg, Mississippi—but in 1925 the biennial sossion was
"held at Louisville, Kentucky, and previous conventions have been
hekd-at:Atianta, Ga, Jacksonville, Flay wind Now Orleuns, Late the
“Thome of the present supreme chancellor of the order who raised
‘and agitated the sectionalism issue.
It seems that another motive that prompted the principal op-
‘ponent to mecting at Dallas in 1929, was the adherence to an idea
‘that since the South has the majority of the supreme officers, the
Eexiotih ought to be given some sop in the form of entertaining the
“Biennial meetings, even when it becomes necessary for the ‘su
“preme body to defray part of the local expenses incident to their
“own entertainment and biennial vacations in several of the boast-
@Paliand highly-touted Northern and Eastern ities.
~ tseems that so many of our Northern and Eastern brothers are
ong on palaver, but short on pecunia; and it happons that prac-
Bteally every time the supreme lodge of Pythians meets in some
WNorthern or astern city, that body has to vote out of its abbre-
TYinted treasury sufficient funds to assist the local Northern and
Bastern committoos in taking care of local expenses.
"However, whenever this same body convenes in some Dixie
ty, not one solitary penny is needed from the supreme treasury
jhelp local Southern committees in liquidating the indebtedness
