Houston Informer

York Masons Meet Here; Chicago Cops 2 Games THE HOUSTON INFORMER 5 PRICE CENTS MEDAL AWARDED SOUTHERN SHERIFF THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON Richardson Castigates Supreme Chancellor Green of New Orleans In a lengthy and voluminous letter, which appeared in last week's issue of The Informer, H. S. W. Green of New Orleans, La, supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., took umbrage at and disagreed with the editor of this paper annotated statements made by the Pelican City fraternalist during the supreme lodge of the order, which appeared in The Informer under date of August 27, 1927 (Brown, 1927). The editor of the report at the Forum Hall, 824 East Forty-third Street, Chicago, Illinois, Saturday evening, August 12, 2027, and "low-rated" the South as being wholly unfit and too uncivilized for the supreme body to hold one biennial session at Dallas, Texas, or any other city of the "far South." Now, after his speech is a matter of record and almost ancient history, Mr. Green becomes incensed and demands The Informer to make a public retraction of his (Green's) report scurrilous attack upon the South; charge him with the wrongness of his statements to so muddy the waters as to conceal the real issue in this would-be controversy. The editor of The Informer was present when the 1929 convention city was selected, and heard all the speeches made in defense of Dallas and Indianapolis, the two contesting cities for the next biennial session of the Python order; and we are of the opinion that Mr. Green was so perturbed in the matter that he had to make a public retraction that he made the remark that "The South is no decent place for any black man's wife, daughter, mother or sweetheart." This utterance of him has perforce, escaped his memory, we wish to remind the supreme chancellor that he made this statement the supreme representatives hissed and booed him to such an extent that the public would have been ashamed of him. He compelled to stop his (Green's) speech and beg the brethren for order and proper respect to the men of his speech; and then Mr. Green added that he had listened to the proponents of Dallas and he thought they ought to listen to his words. He was also ashamed when all who heard him in said Southern state. He cited this incident to show the delegates how dangerous it would be for them to invade the South in Pullman cars, and he was ashamed of the public's refusal to help him for him to cross the Ohio River. Anti-Texas and anti-South propaganda was dispensed freely at both convention sites by Green henchmen and hangers-on, and many wild, inflammatory and lurid statements made about him. The veracity of this report uttered of Mr. Green can be verified by any number of the supreme representatives—even by some of the supreme chancellor's erstwhile stanchen supporters, who left the Windy City session to attend the convention. Without being accused of violating any proprieties, but in order to establish the truthfulness of our editorial contentions, we herethow reproduce a letter, verbatim, from the grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Friars, William H. H. C. C. that describes what The Informer said about the supreme lodge. The letter follows: I am so highly pleased to have read the article and editorial in your valuable paper touching on the action of the supreme lodge at the session just before the meeting, and I am delighted to have ideas conveyed there, and I am delighted to inform you that every expression meets my full approval. I was present at the meeting, and I am in position to know that you have stated facts in every utterance, and you may have made mistakes, and you will adjust all matters pertaining to Pythianism and the general welfare of the people at large. We are certainly proud of the fight we made in defense of Pythianism, and we are proud of the principles of Pythianism as long as friendship warms the heart of man. The supreme chancellor also suggested that The Informer inform the reading "public that Indianapolis won over Dallas by 60 to 47, rather than by 50 to 47 with his victory," his response was one particular in view and in years to come. The supreme chancellor was Dallas South, and with the delegates being forced to vote their choice of convention city by acclamation. To be frank, Dallas, Texas, and the South really warn a moral victory. The expression of a man's suffrage is by secret ballot, why didn't the supreme chancellor submit the motion made and duly seconded that the method of voting for the 1929 convention city be done by ballot? Why did the supreme chancellor refuse to put this motion before the supreme body, if he felt that he had his case already won after his tridecimal vote? Why did the supreme chancellor duly-dally and act like an amateur presiding officer when this motion was properly submitted to the supreme body? Let him answer these queries! During the course of Mr. Green's remarks against and libel of Texas and the South, he was repeatedly interrupted by delegates—not all from the South, but all from the North. As a matter of fact, so bitter, vitriolic and sulphuric was the Green attack and box barrage against Texas and the South, that Dr. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the Southern Baptist Convention, lade, opened his rubait and reply with the statement that any man who is ashamed of his wife, should divorce her; meaning that any man who lives in Texas should divorce his wife, section as the supreme chancellor does, should remove to some other section of the country. Green should bear in mind that he does not hear nor direct a section of the national organization; whose main financial and moral strength lies in Southern jurisdictions; and that people who bear all the freight, should at some time, have some say as to their goods. It is not our purpose to enter into any newspaper controversy with the supreme chancellor, nor to extend the discussion regarding the failure of VOLUME IX THE MID By C. F.

MORRIS BROWN DROPS OPENER TO MOREHOUSE Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 1.—The Morehouse maroon tide kicked the lid off the 27 football season by copping the opening tilt from the Morris Brown whiriwind, 6-0. The Morehouse second team held its own during the first quarter, crashing the Morris Brown line at will, but were unable to gain in the pinches. The first team scored in the second frame when Quarterback Moseley punted 45 yards to Campfield, who was down on his 30 yard line. The Morris Brown punt was blocked, Eberhardt of Morehouse recovering; a unique 23 yard pass Moseley to McNatt gave the maroon and white crew their only talley of the afternoon. Moseley failed to annex the extra by drop-kick. A midsummer sun showered its rays mercilessly on the poor warriors, and the dusty field choked the spectators at every down. The game was the slowest ever witnessed on a local gridiron; frequent substitutions by both coaches, repeated pleas for measured distances, unnecessary delays by officials and players, coupled with penalties on almost every down, made the affair the laughing stock of the assemblage. The Morris Brown eleven showed well on defense, but resorted to prosecution of the pikink, falling to make a single charge of aggression against the aggregation netted eleven, despite the 180 yards collected by officials in pennsylvania.

Coach Watson positioned a tackle, Coach Watson positioned him to a tackle position in 1926 where he tackled the season. The team had fond anticipation for Thomas's performance this season, but unfortunately he was not college this year. Bob Miller is known nationally as all-American guard, but Watson is the candidate for Thomas's tackle berth. Miller has weight, aggressiveness, and in the line. It remains only to develop him in the fine points of playing tackle. Captain Vexon Smith and Captain "Biff" Martin are rendering valuable contributions to the guards, and Captain Martin, center, this year's line will be quite as strong as the championship team of 1926. The coaches are by no means corralized of Campbell and Simpson is keenly felt. It is going to be a difficult task to tackle "Tell Smith, star half-back" through "Tell Smith, star half-back" season, will probably be lost to the back field the coaches are optimistic about.

Mendez-Ace of Colored Pitchers By ALVIN J. MOSES As we write this epilogue dedicated to one of the most colorful luminaries that over tred the diamond, our opportunity to exhibit his wares in "fast company" American Oldtimers may argue that Andrew Rube (Rose Smoky), Joe Wimhoff, Redding, Tidyway, Tayloy, et al, are deserving of the honor we bestow on him. "Pearl of the Antilles"—but this writer holds to the opinion, and will back up with facts hard to discount. We are grateful to the states, many of whom have written their names indelibly into the book, and to the institutes indefender to the Yankees with: Miguel Gonzales, who assists "Gabby" Hartnett of the Cubs in the game of some years back; Palmero, thinner than the Giants; a substitute infielder with the Yankees for a spell with McGraws New York Giants as a twiiter; Armando Marrasa, a consistent 300 hitter thereafter; and a consistent 300 hitter minor and major league service; and Adofo Lauque, temperamental pitcher, but greater than my own. We mentioned galaxy of diamond greats, in the humble opinion of his writer in stature and mannerism, Mendes reminded one strongly of "Snooky" Joe Wood, the former Boston American League pitcher at his best. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1927 TEXAS CHAMPS BEGIN SEASON IN BEARS' LAIR By EDWIN HURDLE Austin, Tex.—Relying on the hopes of their games with Langston University of Oklahoma and Jarvis College, putting them 'in mentioned condition, the Samuel Henson College Dragons, E. A. 2, champions, are planning to win their first conference game against the Bishop Bears at Marshall, October 25. Bishop will have a formidable eleven this year to clash with the Dragons. Coach Mumford, along with the Bears, is really determined to snag the hopes of the Dragons of keeping the football championship. It will be remembered by football fans that last season the Bears held the Dragons to a tight game on account of a break made by the Dragons early in the game. The Bears have choice ground gainers in Phillips, Posey and Calhoun, and a large number of good varsity men. The Dragons will have enough men to keep out of danger of losing the game. The crimson triangle, composed of Russ, Harben and Aelzander will be put in if necessary. The veteran Dragon quarterback, DeWitt Owens, will play harder than ever this year. Coach Taylor is making no prediction for the Dragons, but hopes that Dragonland's spirit will not be quelled by a single defeat this season. During the season of 1911 when they were using Highland Field, 1688th York, Mendes hooked up in a twirling wedge with Joe Williams, who now holds a position on the stead Grays of Pittsburgh. Those who were fortunate enough to procure a team of semi-professional champions before the first of a series of five to decide the semi-professional championship Giants who that year set a world semi-pro standard by winning 108 out of 120 games. They brushed "Almendare" nine of Cuba—the greatest teams ever assembled. For nine innings Mendes and Williams turned back the batters as fast as the tenth innning, Hildago for the "Almendaros" padded a scourning liner to the territory patrolled in the second innning, Valdez, the next batman hit a sharp twisting grounder to shortstop Johnny Lloyd to head of the runner holding Hildago to the bag, Junco, second baseman for a hard-on player, by laying down a perfect bent line and first base line making the bag by a hand-on grip and danced up and down the path of the midway like a devil, while pandemonium browed in the crowd, having the count on him three and two, poled a Texas league over the fence, having the count on him when Poles attempted to make a catch and the crowd of 20,000 leather-lunged fantasies for made it hard to finish the hurled we ever witnessed, and though the writer was only a third in fresh in our mind as if it were yesterday. final score was 1-0 in favor of the Almendaros, Mendes allowing but two safeties, and Williams a nearly three—you can tell the mates, mates. Mendez Once Beat Mathewson It wasn't until the following year, however, that Mendez startled the sport world by the sheer brilliancy of his pitching. No other than John J. McGraw—moulder of champions, invaded the island with an all-star cast of Brooklyn and Giant players on a barnstorming tour. McGraw's purpose was to bring the mountain to Mahomet, and show the Islanders just how American baseball really looked when played by teams of big league calibre. Well, that was just what McGraw didn't do. Christy Mathewson and Nap Rucker—what names to conjure with. Every schoolboy in the land knows their records by heart. Well, these two titans of the raised mound were the pitchers McGraw relied upon to thoroughly initiate the swarthy Cubans. To make a long story short, Mendez beat the immortal Mathewson in a baseball classic that lasted 10 innings to the tune of 4-3; and two days later turned back Nap Rucker and the big leagueers in a game that went the regulation route by a 2-1 count. No fluke about these performances, the steel armed Mendez simply out-pitched baseball's two heroes. Mendez Appraised at $3,000. "We've this Mendez a white anaconda, he'd'r a black anaconda to my club, and his presence with me would cause a million dollars to flow into the local treasury." A big price for the $100,000 McGraw figured that Mendez was worth every nickel of it. "The 'smoky' colored pitchers; but Mendez was a sort of 'Walter Johnson and Grower Alexander rolled into one,' said McGraw." STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!

TAYLOR WATCHMAKER, JEWELER, ENGRAVER REPAIRS AND FITS EYE GLASSES Twenty Odd Years on San FelLOWS Street SUITE 405, ODD FELLOWS TEMPLE Louisiana at Prairie PHONE PRESTON 3154 Atlanta, Ga.—Atlanta University began its sixty-first year very auspiciously with the largest college enrollment in its history; with students coming from a wide range of states, and with one coming as a senior, transferred From St. John's College of, Oxford University, B. W. I. The dropping of the high school is being the increased enrollment in the college. The opening address was delivered by City Superintendent Willis A.Sutton. His remarks were thrilling and did a great deal to give both students and faculty a warm regard for this sincerity of the superintendent as he bade the students to open their eyes to their own possibilities, to the possibilities of their fellows, of their surroundings and of the spiritual life. He said in part: "In you there are the possibilities of a great leader. You have minds above the normal as is shown by the mere fact that you are in this university. I want to see you master your minds and command the great host of Negro people. No greater problems ever faced a race on earth than those that face the Negro race. You must work out those problems with your minds, your labor, your work and with patience. I could cure all the ills of the South by mere work. Get to work, I mean mental as well as physical work. Character does not come by learning the Ten Commandments, not by singing, not by praying, but by getting the habit of doing what is right." The accessions to the faculty are Prof. George F. Halford, who comes from Boston University to the chair of business administration; Prof. Hersey Strong, who returns from the University of Chicago to the chair of social science and history; Prof. Weisiger from Syracuse University to the work in education; Miss Helen H.

Freshmen numbering 150 enrolled in Fisk for the first time. The total enrollment lists 256 women and 272 men from all parts of the United States and many foreign countries.

Fireproof cement floors have been put in the kitchens and nearly all the rooms have been replastered and painted. The music department, once a scattered unit, has now been centralized in two adjoining buildings, which have been remodeled to meet the needs of additional practice and classroom space for the 200 or more registrants in that department. One large grand piano and ten uprights have been added to the musical equipment. The library stack space has been increased to house the large collection thoroughly reorganized under the direction of the new librarian, Mrs. Ruth Ehlert Cundifl, librarian of Earlham College, and Miss Margaret Reyert Livingstone and Bennett halls, the men's dormitories, have also been repaired, and increased classroom space and science laboratories have been modernized and thoroughly equipped with the most scientific apparatus in the science laboratories have been built in the men's gymnasium, and the indoor basketball court has been built.

He was a graduate student next day afternoon at Grever, a Cleveland county town, when he was set upon and beat over the head by four young white men, who are said to have disappeared after the beating, and are now being sought by officers. He was also beaten against the head by Beern Hicks, Jack Westmoreland, Marcel Fortune and Hoyle Allen. According to the police, the slaying developed from another fight of Saturday night, and against the head he gave him a severe bating. When the boy's case came up before Mayor Dorsey, the shalt man testified against him. He said that they whites told Long that they would get him, it is said. equipped and most important institutions of its kind in the country.

Antoine, local physician, passed away Wednesday morning at a local hospital, succumbing to a short ill-conditioned stroke. She quite a shock to her friends and the community at large, for it was not known that her physical condition was so precarious.

[Name] THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWS PAPER Green Castigated—— (Continued from Page One) the supreme lodge to accept the invitation to hold its 1929 biennial session at Dallas, Texas; but since he has charged that this editor was parsimonious with verity in reporting his (Green) violent and railing denunciation of the city, he has no objection to his nomination of Southern whites—hold a national gathering in Atlanta, Georgia, during recent years, and no "racial trouble" has been reported yet. The National Baptist conventions have held sessions in the South both for the first time and for the last time. The Green militia number of Southern whites—hold a national gathering in Atlanta, Georgia, during recent years, and no "racial trouble" has been reported yet. The Informer contends that, if these bodies and organizations can bring their memberships to the South and Texas for an occasional national convention, and no "racial trouble" is precipitated, then surely the little handwritten note was repudiated by the national militia, would not engender racial antipathy and animosity by holding one biennial convention in the "iar South" or "near South." Mr. Grabbe and the South have commanded the colored military forces and whites at Brownsville and Houston, yet he was not fair enough to add that the Eighth Illinois Regiment, commanded in its entirety by colored officers, trained at Camp Logan (Houston) for several months, and not one soldier was repudiated by the national militia, outfit and local white civilians; and when the regiment was entrained for a port of embarkation, the white citizens of Houston had nothing but words of praise for the high type for the regiment and not deserved. These Negro officers and soldiers walked the streets of Houston daily and nightly, with their caviers on their uniform, and no "irresponsible ances say whether or not this editor misquoted and misrepresented the discussion." Mr. Green's article in last week's issue of The Informer was certainly lengthy and voluminous for him to have such a brief case; but we fear that the most important is that he is completely prove a boomerang, either to him or the organization, or to both. Then, to justify his actions the supreme chancellor cites a number of white or quasi-white organizations which have refused to meet in the South because of the "probability of racial trouble;" yet he refused to mention the fact that the Chancellor had already been a member of the National South and that no "racial troubles" were occasioned or precipitated. Right on the heels of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, race/riot, the National Negro Business League held its annual session in the Sooner State metropolis, and the American American College of Business and Business Southern delegates motored there in all types of modern and high-priced automobiles; and the mayor of the city, in his welcome address, thanked the league for coming to Tulsa and asserted that the leading white people were the only people to have the same experience to it that no such domestic disorder ever happened again in that city. The colored Elks—the most colorful fraternal order extant among our group and, perhaps, the most largely attended—met last year in Richmond, Virginia, the hot-bed of rebellion, secession, proscription, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the great riots of 1880. The American Pallamas teams, and numerous Southern delegates motored there in all types of modern and high-priced automobiles; and the mayor of the city, in his welcome address, thanked the league for coming to Tulsa and asserted that the leading white people were the only people to have the same experience to it that no such domestic disorder ever happened again in that city. The colored Elks—the most colorful fraternal order extant among our group and, perhaps, the most largely attended—met last year in Richmond, Virginia, the hot-bed of rebellion, secession, proscription, segregation, disenfranchisement, and the great riots of 1880. The American Pallamas teams, and the majority attended—met last year in the Old Dominion State were tremendously benefitted by the contacts made during the stay of the "Bills" in the former capital of the Southern Confederacy. The American Pallamas teams, and the government of Colored People—that militant organization which is held in disfavor by a large num-whites" provoked any "racial trouble" with them. It is remarkably strange how some supposed sane and sensible men permit their minds to run riot and their brains to run amuck, and imagine all the other things that they do. If The Informer remembers correctly, some of the most sanguinary domestic disorders and race riots in the history of this country were staged in cities of the "civilized and free North" by the "irresponsible whites!" The bloody carnage of East St. Louis, Illinois, is still too fresh upon our memory. The American Southherer or Northerner, to point the indicting finger only, at the South! It also appears to us that even Chicago, Illinois—America's most ideal and most effective city, has been a few years ago, and that it had its inception in a wrangle and fight become "new years ago; but it has been a long time since it has been a bathing too near some whites in the cool and refreshing waters of Lake Michigan. With further into the records, the name of Duluth, Monty appears with its awful lynching orgy; and the national capital, Washington, D. C., has not been free from an awful internecine disturbance. Even now we can hear the faint rumblings from Dayton, Ohio, where an international media office is on the other side of the city's airspace. The school system which will finally envelop other Northern centers with approach to the city's rejuvenation is the most important. In order to keep the records straight, it would not be amias to state here that the "sectional issues" was not raised by the Texas delegation to the upper city, and the local leaders areடons, sensibles of the overall misdeals person who has been the top leader of Grand Chaucer Willis the Texas, across the top written from New Orleans, La., under date of July 22, 1927—practically one month before the vote was taken for the next supreme lodge meeting in the city. The study of the study of the city's new "Green" in "I have been, and am yet of the opinion that it would not be advisable to have our supreme lodge meet in the state of Texas, or any other far-reverend state," he said. He said that the state of Texas and the state of Texas are now practiced in the South. I shall, therefore, NOT FAVOR the convention of the supreme lodge coming to the state of Texas in the city. So much for his written word and his reasons assigned for his opposition to Texas and the South as host to the biennial supreme Pythian lodge, which is now the face of the state of Green, which is raised the sectional-in the state of the state of Illinois, and the state of Illinois has been a more well-known political and Mississippi for lining up with him against Dallas and the South, yet these are the same things that the state of Texas has found, and reason why the convention should not be held in Dallas; and, when pressed for some definite reason for opposing the Texas city, they generally are not a point of view. Well, the supreme chancellor isn't with Texas? or "Texas an inpt." I rightly, it We had always thought that the supreme lodge was a democratic body, and that its members had some freedom of thought and action, but the Chicagoan people were not the only members of the American people. If the continual meeting in Northern and Eastern cities has given the supreme body its do-nothing program, as was manifested during August at Chicago, then the order could hardly do worse by meeting once in the South. (Let us pray!) If the most brief of the South, per se, for this paper has been and is still the most outspoken race publication in the South when the rights of the Negro race are at stake or in jeopardy; but this paper also contends that conditions can be considerably improved in the South by our group making the proper contacts and getting off on the right foot; and the great success of the South was not only by the great-kings of the South, but by the opinions and sentiments of the "far South" concerning the Negro race. If other national organizations and bodies can perform this type of missionary work, most assuredly the colored Pythians are no better than they, and the blacks are not the same as the whites. It is possible of leadership that does not want to come in contact with those he or it attempts to serve and lead, and lend a helping hand at close range. If the supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias is so ashamed of his home section that he would not dare invite his supreme organization to the South, he would not be able to give the pythans the time to do so. For the reason his good judgment and common sense when he continues to live in a section which he holds in such disfavor and disdain. Any man is a mighty poor excuse of a man who has a home and is ever-lastingly ashamed to invite any person to his home. He ought to either take his own home, or be sent to the P early in the years of his revolution. After growing sarcastic and caustic about the reported assets and resources of the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, and comparing the per capita wealth, etc., the supreme chancellor proceeds to lay claim to much of the property, and the Pythian is not at all certain. The Pythians, in the course of the and conferred with the leaders and by taking his advice the Willis administration has been a signal success. Three cheers for S, W. Green of New Orleans. Instead of W. S. Willis being the master mind behind the Pythian order in Texas, it has been Green's proflite counsel and sagacious advice! Now Since Mr. Green has been of such inspirational and informational service to the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, and, since he mildly chided and infen- rence himself to the Pythian jurisdiction of Texas, he has funded the state fraternity to the national Pythian temple at Chicago, why doesn't the supreme chancellor render this type of service to his Northern, and how does he manage the demands and then ask for financial assistance in this colossal undertaking? The Informer has nothing to do with the policy of the grand chancellor of Texas in his attitude regarding the national temple of the order, now under his direction, and he has not connected with it; and, if Mr. Green wanted to "smoke out" Mr. Willis because the latter has not yet come across with the coin of the realm from the supreme chancellor on Mr. Green's pet scheme, then that is his affair and not ours. Furthermore, if the supreme lodge decides to meet only in such city and where in certain conditions exist, we think it will be quite difficult to reach the supreme lodge, and now in Indianapolis, the supposed host of the 1929 biennial supreme lodge; and then read the record of graft and duan domination of the Hoosier government in the state of Indiana, and other manifestations and ramifications in that state at Gary; the "jim-crow" schools now being foisted upon the Negro government of that state and section, and other manifestations and ramifications The Informer admits that the South is no ideal place, as it relates to rela- tions between the races; yet this paper does contend that interracial relations have improved considerably within the last few years, and that a new prejudicial and intolerant, is not far distant. If the Negroes of America can read and interpret the handwriting on the bloodly bloof of sectionalism; and that while a type of we might be given as bloodly bloof of sectionalism; and that while a type of we might be given as THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1927 MORE CONTESTANTS ENTER RACE FOR CHRISTMAS TRIP TO HAVANA; BIG CONTEST BEGINS OCTOBER 15 That The Houston Informer's "Popularity—Trip-To-Cuba Contest" bids fair to hold the center of the stage from Saturday, October 15 to Saturday, December 17, 1927, is indicated by the unusual interest already being manifested in the contact by persons in all sections of Texas and adjacent states.

The Negro race is too much like a hobby horse (going on all the time and never getting anywhere) and any man, woman, both the people and the people who are not the people. The great success becomes nugatory and negative. Going a bit further, if the supreme chancellor of the Pythians or the head of any order or organization holds to the opinion that Negroes of the class are not the people, they will be not the people. The great success of the spend a few days in the South (the former home of most of the Negroes of the North, East and West who are doing things), and endure, if necessary, some of the trying ordeals of their racial brothers and sisters, then he has a new mindset. Why, did not Damon, the Pythagorean, pledge his life for his friend, Pythias? Didn't their act of friendship, charity and benevolence so move and impress Dionysius, the Syracuse tyrant, that he released both and made him a great man? The great man, the great man, who was not so-called Pythians of the North, East and West any better than Damon? Are they not willing to offer themselves for their Pythian brothers of the South? Are they unmindful of what their act will mean both to Damon and Pythias? The supreme chancellor seems to consider the supreme lodge as an occasion for a vacation and outing; and, judging from what the recent supreme lodge failed to do in a constructive way, this idea appears to be deep-seated among so many of the supreme representatives. The great man, the great man, who is the The Informer, Mr. Green declined to accept what he termed our "gratuitous and insulting advice to divorce my wife or resign from office of supreme chancellor, or the office of grand chancellor of Louisiana, and remove to the North or East." We are very sorry that the supreme chancellor could not understand a figure that is not the same as the truest of the people. The great man, the great man, who is the The Informer, has no chance of being a figure of speech, and flew into a rage and charged this editor with "insulting" him by dispensing such "gratuitous" advice. The author of the Green ar-rising letter, the great man, the great man, who is the The Informer, has a chancellor that. The Informer editor was ruminating figuratively. Mr. Green charged that The Informer's Chicago correspondent placed his wife in the wrong light in the new item regarding Mrs. Green's activity with the Texas senator. Mr. Green was supposed to have made her "insulting speech" to the good women of Texas and the South, this editor does know that a lengthy conference was held at Hotel Trenier, headquarters of the Texas Pythian Society, where Mrs. Green was present. By Mrs. Green, and when the confab adjourned at an early morning hour, it was stated that the supreme counselor of the Court of Galantia had been sent to Texas to try to straighten out matters as a result of Mrs. Green's insulting speech at the church yesterday. Since there were several of the Texas Caliphates present at that conference, and reported that Mrs. F. H. McPherson of Gainesville, grand worthy counselor of the Texas order, made a heated reply to the speech of Mrs. Green, The Informer is willing to pass this matter to the other side of the house; and this paper would be glad to hear from one of the senators.

Though Elijah had courageously stood before the king and the priests of the city, she was woman, and fed for his life. Let us be laureat when we think we stand, we fall (Cor. 10:12). The juniper tree was a shrub of the desert which afforded shelter and protection to travelers. It was dry by day and the cold wind by night. (1) His request (v. 4): This was that he might die. This was no doubt because he was to be as considerate toward him as was God. The discouragement, and even despondency, of Elijah, was due to his unselfishness in years of unsuasive service for God, which culminated on Mount Carmel. Such nervous reaction is to be expected in the face of such a misuse will be missed we see it in that light, and see God’s tenderness toward his overreaction to his treatment (v. 5). "He a. he gave him sleep (v. 5). (v. 7) His beloved sleep" (Pa. 127.2). He gave him a meal (v. 5). "He meal (v. 6). 7). The Lord of the Lord is usually understood to be the second member of the Holy Trinity. He gave him a meal (v. 5). "He jah-zees preparing food for his Servant Elijah, as he afterward did for his discouraged disciples by Gilaite and Jabra, as he had kindly ministered to his discouraged prophet so that he would be in a fit condition to receive the needed input." (1) God's interview with Elijah in the cave (vv. 9, 10). a God's question, "What does thou here, Elijah?" (v. 9). This was a stinging rebuke, though most kindly given. It implied that his appointed messenger was now far away from the field of duty. How blessed to know that "A God-forsgiving saint is not a God-forsaken saint" b. Elijah's answer (v. 10). Elijah tried to vindicate himself by asserting his jealous loyalty to God—that's in spite of all this the people had not only rejected his message and dishonored God, but sought to destroy him. (2) God's interview with Elijah on the mount (vv. 11-14). While standing before the Lord on the mount, God caused a mighty demonstration of wind, earthquake and fire to pass before him, to show unto him the nature of the work he had been doing for God, and to show him what was lacking in his work for the fullest attainment of success. Elijah had about him much of the whirlwind, earthquake and fire. His work had been terrifying and alarming, but it lacked in gentleness and love. This object lesson in the days of God's working is a needed message for this age, which is so wonderfully characterized by noise and clamor. The world is not "taken for Christ" by the fleshly energy and enthusiasms of conventions and committees, but by the quiet hearts who go forth proclaiming God's Word to the energy of the Holy Spirit. Though Eilah (v. 15-16) brought him again into his Service, brought him again into his Service. How comforting to know that God took their failures in times of despair eney! he dealt with them after the motives of their honour. Eilah was moved by their kindness and then sent on a high mission. took Eilah out of himself by giving him to another. would come in his Charis to take Eilah home, he sent him upon a three 8. To anoint Elisha as his own suc cessor in the prophet's room (vv. 10 21). Look Up to God Dare to look up to God and say deal with me in the future as Thou will: I am of the same mind Thou art; I am Thine. I reside not thou; I am Thine. I reside not thou; Thou will; clothe me in my dress Thou choose; choose.

Many Advantages Offered Farmers In South Africa New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—South Africa contains vast possibilities for ambitious men, though the day is past when fortunes may be made without capital, according to Miss Alan Hay of Pietermaritzburg, Natal, passenger aboard the Japanese liner Santos Maru in port here last week. Miss Hay, with her mother, is on an eighteen months' tour around the world, and is writing a series of her impressions for one of her home newspapers, the Natal Advertiser. She has just come from covering the coast line of South American continent, and will go from here to San Francisco, via the Panama Canal, visiting Hawaii and China before completing her circuit of the globe. During the last year, she said, there has been a gold rush, a diamond rush, and a platinum rush near her home, but the only results were broken hearts and wrecked purses. Since that time, she said, the government has evolved a scheme of allotment which is expected to do away permanently with "rushes". Agriculture, she said, now is the field which offers the greatest gain for the newcomer. With plenty of native labor and conditions normal, the country has no place for immigrant labor. What it need is brains and capital. In this connection, she said, much is being accomplished by a patriotic organization, the 1820 Memorial Settlers, which is encouraging retired British army and navy officers to establish farms.

If the child is pale, has worms in the mouth and takes no interest in play, it is almost a certain that worms are eating away its vitality. The surest sign of a worm infestation is Vermifuge.

New York City—(ANP)—That the first depositor in the first savings bank in the United States was a Negro, is one of the interesting facts brought out in an article in the "Savings Bank Journal," of September, 1927, just published in New York City. Curtis Sawyer, a former member of the Home of Cody Raver, who was one of the founders of the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society, is the man who deposited the first silver dollar that Sawyer received from the deposits of more than $200,000,000. Other interesting bits of history connected with the banking business include the establishment in 1865 of the Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust Company, down to the latest attempt to establish a bank with the establishment in 1865 of the Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust Company, down to the latest attempt to establish a bank, are interestingly related in an article on page fifty-thank of the Harper's Magazine.

Mr. Pace closes with a plea to the bank for a larger opportunity for bank training for young Negroes who are interested in university education, the college of the country, and to enter the banking business, saying: There is a question involved which the banking business of the country would do well to ponder. If the banking business is to be kept as it should be, a safe business managed by men who understand what they are doing, and whose lives are above reproach, the opportunity to learn the business ought to be given to those who enter it. Despite all regulations and laws, some Negroes somewhere are going to enter the banking business and they are going to enter it in greater numbers in many communities; whether they have experience or whether they go into it as some have done, without knowledge of what it means. Young men who are coming out of universities and colleges ought to be given a chance to study the banking business and to take back to their own people the true meaning of thrift and saving, the backbone of the finance of a nation.

JAMES CROW" INVADES GARY! Well, folks, Brother James Crow has again made his presence felt north of the Mason and Dixon line, this time "strutting his stuff" in the model school and educational viewpoint) of Gary, Indiana—the famed steel city of the Midwest. Because there were several colored students enrolled at the senior high school of the Hoosier State city, all of the white students went on a field trip to the model school, except three who were members of the graduating class and who had attended this particular school since completing their junior high school school from the senior high school building to an "all-night" high school building. This "strike" was played up by newspapers of both races, yet Gary has joined in public schools for some time, the school district has been largely large, attended by colored children; and with the klan organization disturbing the state, it was not surprising to see the anti-Negro uprising and other militant activities in "jim-crowism," race prejudice and other injustices in the country herefore regarded as friendly and fair to the Negro race. If striking students at Gary, Indiana, can force the board of education to accuse to their demands to oust colored students from a certain school district, it will be a major challenge in order to accommodate these klan-dominated young people can wield such power as to compel the school to sweep another high school building, in order to accommodate the black students in the klan's stretch of the imagination nor any prophytic insight to readily discern the grave danger lurking in this latest Northern move to "jim-crow" color. It is folly to charge all this anti-Negro agitation and outbursts of race prejudice now so prevalent and rampant in certain northern cities and centers to an infusion of Southern whites. It is also true that most of these former students of Dixie have carried their racial prejudice, antipathy and bigotry with them; but even the white North, apparently, is undergoing a radical change as it re- Many of the leading white colleges and universities of the North and East have closed their doors to colored students; and, while some of these students have been allowed to attend liberal policy schools black students does not obtain in many instances. "Jim-crowism," whether in the North or South, denotes and signifies a double standard of citizenship; proclaims to the world that the "jim-crowem" element is not worth the attention; and denotes that the minority group is inferior and lacking in the finer sensibilities and attributes which characterize the race engineering the "jim-crow" acts. The former has often contended that the Negroes of the North and South have a community of interest, and that the more denunciation and expose of Southern injustices and inequalities would not bring results, per se, but that Negroes of America must unite their forces to the common cause. The black race is not black race; it is black race the God-given, inalienable and constitutional rights. Eve long the fight against "jim-crowism" will become a national battle, racially motivated. With "Mistah James Crow" having taken up his residence in Gary, Indiana, it will not surprise us to see this enterprising and energetic character set out to succeed and forcibly establish his reign in other communities. The danger in "jim-crowism" does not merely lie in the fact that one race is shunted off to, but when races are given separate railroad access, the modern conveniences of the community to get decent living conditions are modern conveniences of the community to get decent living conditions, rather than equal, accommodations and facilities. This is also true where racial segregation obtains, for the segregated poor, the modern conveniences of the community to get decent living conditions. If the "jim-crow" system in vogue on Southern railroads were carried out, the segregation would be provided that the accommodations MUST BE SEPARATE, and EQUAL, as provided that the accommodations and emphasis on the equality of accommodations for the both races—colored passengers would not be forced to pay first-class fare. Given equal accommodations on the Dixie railroads would mean day coaches, smokers, chair cars, diners and hotel reservations for colored passengers; and, under the law, particularly in Texas, Negro passengers would not be allowed to travel on the railroads. It would simply mean that railroad companies operating in this state and section would be compelled to construct compartmentes in such coaches that would be able to accommodate large sums of money, but this change would involve the expenditure of large sums of money and since it only affects the "im-lim" Negro passengers, and since these passengers are not required to travel on the railroad trains of the country and state, colored passengers suffer many humiliations, embarrassments and inconveniences while traveling on the railroad trains of the country and state. In the prevail, "im-lim" school buildings will not comport nor compare with buildings attached and maintained for the non-"im-lim" students; and, going further, the course of study will be different or deficient, and teachers will be assigned to posts more bequeath of pull than preparation, thereby giving students more training and experience to commit the liberal art of life founder and chief promoter, the late Judge H. G. Gary, this Indiana city is now the most outstanding example of racial prejudice, class distinction, biography and intolerance in its section; and graves are sorrowfully that the seed that planted at Gary will germinate into a great nation. The Houston Informer America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper Green Castigated---- Green Castigated---- (Continued From Page Five) while we do not desire to humiliate and embarrass our racial brothers and sisters from more favored sections of the country with these types of injustacies and inequalities, we can not bring ourselves around to the place where we opine that a direful calamity would befall if the race if such a biennial convention was held in the "far South" once in 47 years! Mr. Green ghosts and boasts of Indianapolis' victory over Dallas, and yet he never was to predict that world of Indianapolis had an jurisdiction nor the city of Indianapolis nor the state of Indiana sent even a formal invitation to the supreme lodge to hold its 1929 biennial convention in the Hooster State of Illinois. The state of Indiana would not have to be in the place when no other Northern city could be located which was willing to contest with Dallas and Texas for the next biennial meeting, and, if the state of Indiana had a new known event to be held in the same time, it is more than likely that the supreme lodge will be forced to superwrite its own fund for entertainment, or the larger portion of it. Instead of dealing in insinuations, glittering generalities and predicating his life, he was in the way of the other people who were in the place of the "far South." He reminds one of an old mossback or stand-pets who is opposed to owning the "fans" of the state of Illinois, and the correct way is a potential danger point; to the person who objects to riding on trains because there is grave danger of wreck, derailment or collision; who refuses to sail upon the land when the person is on the way to the city. It is always down to a watery gravel to overlap the ship and send it to the passengers. If what the supreme chancellor says is true—that such gatherings of Negroism might cause racial clashes in the South—then it is rather funny that the state of Illinois has to be a part of the state of Illinois. The many years the various organizations have been meeting in cities of the "far South" and he bases all his conclusions on a faulty, baseless premise—a premined build of national migration. Many who are already prejudiced with the form of formed certain fixed opinions concerning a cause, is disqualified to serve as judge in any hearing involving the rights of the defendant or litigator; for his decisions will be influential and unbiased method of reasoning, the prejudice rather than by an impartial and unbiased method of reasoning. It might be consistent for a Northern Negro to assume the Green anti-Scottish government as of about 1900. Furthermore, the Pythian supreme lodge, in point of attendance and the size of its encampment, hardly exceeds, if indeed it really equals, the annual efforts of the�'s men, and the other of the other. The men are in the form about "100,000 persons being in attendance at the Pythian supreme lodge" at Chicago during last August, were gross exaggerations. There were not over 300 delegates to both bodies and not over 2000, if 1500, at the same time as the other of the other. The state of the same lodge is a result of the supreme lodge. To be perfectly frank and candid, the lodge has been in the city, and the Mardi Gras has been in the city. The population is an important stage of the age of age. The men are not boasting nor bragging, but merely confessing and telling the truth: Mr. Green, in his celebrated epistle of last week, citing from the records of the state of the country, was not in any of the other jurisdictions as of the millionaire class; and further asserted that the Louisiana jurisdiction has been in the millionaire class so long that it has ceased to be a novelty and for a large part of the state. In his discussion of per capita wealth of the Pythian jurisdictions of Louisiana, Alabama, Texas and Florida—the most substantial jurisdictions of the order—how much did or do frozen assets enter into his comparative interests? The state of the country has been in the state of the other jurisdictions as of liquid resources and assets, what real value have these buildings and to what extent could they be employed to meet the obligations of sales of the state of the other commissioners insisted upon their sale in order to meet outstanding claims. If placed in the market today, what price would these assets bring the order of their respective jurisdictions? Mr. Green, in a recent interview of the俄羅斯國家黨代表團，of 1907, was a freezer-frozen assets of the Pythian jurisdictions of Louisiana, Alabama and Florida, since cash money always talks in a very audible tone, how much of these reported assets and resources represent real liquid assets? Mr. Green, in a recent interview of the American National College, at Dallas, was a result of the property were placed on the market today the order could easily secure $300,000 for its Dallas holdings. The state is already in demand for an industrial expansion program. Mr. Green, in a recent interview of the For the sake of argument, then, admitting that the assets of the Texas Private Bank, $1,007,000, were only $747,700.06 and deducting $183,529.73 for the Dallas temple, the order still has liquid assets and cash to the amount of $884,172.33. If Mr. Green carries out his per capita argument along all racial lines, the value of race is poverty strictest. If Mr. Green is ignored, for American citizenship; for if the aggregate wealth, education and pro-ress of the American Negroes can not be used to give the race a rating and variable, and disabolic institution of human bondage when a victim of the dam-nounable, will be the first of the same kind. The Informer's contention that the Pythian order in Texas is in the "millionaire" class was based upon the following report of the financial condition of the order as of February 28, 1927: Men Women Men & Women Real Estate $163,529.73 $10,000.00 $163,529.73 Cash on Hand $10,000.00 $10,000.00 U.S. Treasury Securities 4,000.00 U.S. Treasury Securities Property 29,076.00 Furniture and Fixtures 3,959.30 Other Ledger Assets 35,833.14 Accrued Interest and Rents 15,635.55 Juvenile Dept. 7,900.00 $70,413.50 $390,561.95 $1,087,965.56 As to the statement of Mr. Green's fearful Mr. Williams' strength as possible candidate for supreme chancellor in 1929, he was a positive decision in the circulation by Green supporters, who broadcast the report throughout the convention hall and city that the only reason the Texas jurisdiction will be held in the city of Texas. The report also election as titular head of the Pythian fraternity; that as the most popular man in the supreme lodge Mr. Willis's stock might be boosted considerably after the end of the year, the state's capital was not as large as the state's capital. Mr. Green. The opponents of Dallas and proponents of Green are responsible for this "puerile and childish" talk, which demonstrates that the state has no good knowledge about the problem. Mr. Green, himself, knows that the report was prevalent at the Chicago meeting, and before placing Dallas in nomination as the next convention, he will take the floor and claim that his position and attitudes with reference to the other. Odd Fellows Drive WALDO MATTHEWS The Odd Fellows drive, which began on September 15 and closed January 15, 1928, is attracting much attention.

OPINIONS Negro's Morality Does Not Suffer By Comparison Cimbee's Ramblings By R. A. ADAMS (Preston News Service) "The Negro is immoral; worse than that, he is brutal; he is dominated by his lower, bestial nature; and he must contaminate the white man, to contaminate and ruin the white man." All of this is asserted by the American white man, especially, but the facts contradict it, and show that by comparison the Negro is by no means Deer Gus; Hu'll haffer fergiv me for still sitin on the table.

Doublet questions the presence of two colored ministers for he resorted to evasion by saying, "Well, they have a different standard of morals." "But," insisted his questioner, "how do they compare, considering the difference in standards?" To this the missionary answered, "According to their standard and their opportunities, the natives are far more than the white people of this country."

The late Bishop L. J. Coplin used to tell of a young native white woman who was carried thousands of miles through the interior by native black men, and that this young woman became indignant when asked, "Were you not afraid?" She answered, "No." The native women would have given their lives rather than harm should come to me." The Jews were in bondage in Egypt for more than 400 years and there was not one accusation of conduct unlawful against them. They toward one of the slave women. Now compare this with the record of the white masters and the slaves of Negroes in this country. And since the emancipation white men by means of bribes and slavery, the native women have degraded colored women.

But morality means more than chastity; it includes and involves love, rightness and righteousness in dealing with all human interests and human problems, and in all of the things the white man is doing in his glass house, he does not hesitate to throw stones at him. But a comparison with the opportunity will demonstrate that the Negro is by no means inferior to the white man. The COFERENCE THE COUPON Win Free Trips To Cuba! I — I Damascus Baptist Rev. D. H.
