The church will never take and occupy its rightful place in the life of any race or group, when its principal exponents and chief advocates engage in tactics and tricks seldom, if ever, resorted to by denisens of the under- Even the majority of the men and women of the underworld believe in giving members of their profession a fair chance and even break, and these criminals who often go on their way to add, assist, or defend some one of their gentry. It was the "steam roller" tactics and "caggle rule" that wrecked the Republic of America in 1912, and it was this same engine of a large reaction which played havoc in the large of the National Baptist Convention and precipitated the rupture in Chicago several years ago. Many worthy and laudable causes and destroyed by fire were wrecked and quest for power on the two-directing the movements; and the "big stick" has about outlived its days of usefulness, both in the political religious realm. Both Christ, E. Arlington Wilson pastor Macedonia, and the author of Dax has, and Rev. E. L. Harrison pastor Antioch Baptist Church of Houston, had the right to aspire for the presidency of the State convention; but it was impossible that an extraordinary issue was made to the campaign and that those in official positions and the supporters of the two candidates became so blind, bitter and partisan as to resort to and employ more than in keeping of harmony with the Baptist usage, tenets, policy and procedure. Even if Rev. Harrison had defeated Rev. Wilson (the latter was declared winner of the battle at Paris last week), the aftermath to such an acrimonious campaign of violence have been a sour taste in the mouth of with the Harrington just as the case now with the Harrington is the situation was a tense and tilted report, and, if these religious leaders sensed the cause of Jesus Christ and advertising in kingdom-building and advertising world in its supposed proper light, on some other 'candid' compromises on monized their differences and reconciled their disagreements on a 'dark horse'.

C.—(ANP)—It is now up to the supreme court of the United States to decide whether state can prohibit children of the darker races from attending schools provided for white children. This duty was placed upon the supreme court Thursday, when the case from the Rosedale school district of Bolivar County, Mississippi, where school authorities ruled that Chinese children should attend schools provided for Negroes, reached court. This case has aroused much interest among Chinese and Negroes and is expected to settle once for all this question. When the school authorities issued the edict the Chinese set up a upow and this increased when the inadequate school facilities for Negroes were noted. The Negro schools are already too crowded, and the Negro school in Bolivar County is one of the largest in any county in the United States. Chinese have made great headway is larger than the aggregate business in Bolivar County, which boasts of all stores operated by whites.

S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., contended that The Informer's Chicago correspondent had misrepresented his (Green's) wife, in a news story to the effect that Mrs. Green had insulted the good women and "fair Calantheans" of the Texas jurisdiction in her talk before the supreme court at the Windy City opposing the convention of the 1929 biennial supreme body at Dallas, Texas. In his voluminous article of October 1, 1927, Mr. Green said: "In the report of the proceedings of the supreme lodge found on the front page of the October 1, 1927, I note a reportanum quotation Mrs. Green as having insulted Texas. It is the belief of the Chinese that the segregation rule resulted from the jealousy of the whites around at the time of the war. Negroes are watching the case with unusual interest because of the growth of Jim crow schools in members' communities. "I think, Mr. Editor, that in allowing such statements to be printed in the columns of your paper without verification, in unworthy the reputation of the journal you edit, I am not sure the reputation of the journal you edit," Mr. Green is far too well cultured, and has been in attendance too long at the biennial sessions of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Fythias to insult any ladies who have been in attendance to the dedication of Texas. Mr. Green has attended every session of the supreme lodge beginning with the year 1883, except the one held at Jacksonville, Florida in 1899, and has taken part in the discussion of the supreme lodge of Texas. This is the first time she has been charged with insulting all of the women of the great state of Texas or any other state. A large number of the good Friends are members of the grand council of the oratory of the supreme lodge of Texas, and bears representing the order of Calanhe of the jurisdiction of Texas, she, however, has the courage of her convictions, and does not hesitate to express her opinion on any matter that may arise in the university.

Editor Richardson's previous statement follows: 2. Students who absented themselves from classes and scheduled work are put on probation, such probation to be removed by the command as rapid as evidence is given, satisfactory conduct and right spirit. "Mr. Green charged that The Informer's Chicago correspondent placed his wife in the wrong light in 'the news item regarding Mrs. Green's activity and reported remarks before the supreme court. Although not present when Mrs. 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-Calanthean delegation, the night the speech was alleged to have been made by Mrs. Green; and when the confab adjourned at an early morning hour, it was stated that the supreme counselor of the Court of Calanthe had been in conference with grand chancellor and grand counselor of Texas jurisdiction 'trying to straighten out matters as a result of Mrs. Green's insulting speech at the church yesterday." 3. Those guilty of insubordination or of inciting others to insubordination must probation immediately. Their future is uncertain, and consideration by the administrative board, and their cases will be dealt with suddenly, and as rapidly as possible." "Since there were several of the Texas Calanthae present at that meeting, and since it was also reported that Mrs. F. K. McPherson of Mason City, and since it was also reported that Mrs. Green, made a heated reply to the speech of Mrs. Green, The Informer, of the other side in the house, and this paper would be glad to hear from them." This was a disappointment to many students, who had been led, through punishment, to give the guarantee of no punishment for any arrest; and on Thursday morning the trial was resumed. The administrative officer obliged to pass the following vote: In the issue of The Houston Informer under date of October 16, 1922, notice was served on the reading public and particularly those who are interested in this Green-Richardson news paper. The paper would print at special communication from the pen of one of the reporters of the country, which would "set and keep the records straight concerning the "insulting remarks" alleged to have been made by the Green (wife of the supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of the Celtics) before the supreme court at Chicago during August, 1927. 1.

Applications for such permission should be submitted to the commandant and the dean of women of the school, to the administrative board. All students are expected leave for the summer, comply, and so far as possible, today.

Gainesville, Texas, October 10, 1927. Hon. C. F. Richardson, Editor, The Houston Informer, 409-411 Smith Street, Houston, Texas. Dear Sir and Brother: I have just completed reading the issue of October 8th, which I enjoyed very much. I notice where you say that Mr. Green charged the The Informer's Chicago correspondent placed his wife in the wrong light in the news, when he said that Mrs. Green insulted the ladies of the order of Calanthe of the jurisdiction of Texas, in a speech made by her at the supreme court. Some young women and a larger number of young men have returned to the city, a few with the expressed intention to soon as the disturbance is over. Four young men, quite evidently ringlane, have been formally dismissed. The disturbance probably be necessary. It is the intention of the authorities to reopen THE GREEN NOT ONLY INSULTED THE CALANTANEAN OF JOHN GREEN, BUT I HOLD THE SHE INSULTED EVERY WOMAN IN TEXAS.

Atlanta, Ga.—At the Southeastern PA, held here last week, the Negro exhibit was a striking evidence of progress on the part of the Negro farm, homes, and schools of the state. It included the agricultural building, it packed a space of 20,000 square feet with a remarkable display of farm, home, and school Negro citizenship of the state of Georgia. Nineteen county exhibits were in evidence, many of them showing the number of schools contributed the best work of their pupils; and in addition, running into the thousands, chiefly beautiful specimens of handicraft and craftsmanship, mass production and other characteristics of progressive agriculture. The farm was owned by an endless array of canned fruits, vegetables, needle work, and hand-made goods. The counties represented, for the most part, were those in which Negro men were employed, of whom there are in the state twelve men and fifteen women, of whom there are in the efforts to improve rural conditions and methods, and to raise the results constituted a remarkable testament to the value of their work-in promoting higher standards of efficiency and production and better citizenship. Most hopeful of all, perhaps, were the displays which were vast and varied, and consisted of the usual school work—maps, posters, essays, historical sketches, drawings and believable variety of domestic and manual training products, indisputably of the mind and hand is going along side by side on the schools displayed a poster of the fact of its 255 graduates, not only in being convicted or accused of crime.

Two confident teams took the field at 2:30. Howard returning Dage's 52-yard kick-off 24 yards. Howard's three attackers at the Morehouse line were of no avail. Hinton punted 47 yards; Mosley was downed in his attempt to gain the ball and gain, lose the ball on down. After three plays, two of 2-2 gainings and one of 1-2 yards loss, Howard was penalized five yards for delaying the game. Morehouse received and made first down on three plays. With only a yard gain on three plays, Wilson kicked the ball down the field in his track. Mr. Rose steps to the fore and drives the ball 27 yards on the first two plays. Howard then opened up her airial work. Two passes were grounded. Again Hinton punted 31 yards, six of which Mosley recovered. Off-tackle was forced to kick. Payne returned the 26-yard punt one yard. Howard's return to one yard loss was forced to kick. Payne returned the 26-yard punt one yard. Howard's return to one yard loss was forced to one yard loss.

The half ended in a 0-0 deadlock, with the ball in Morehouse's possession on her own Inspired by the strains of the alma mater song, the Bison returned to the field. In the third quarter, Howard blocked Morehouse's punt, and in three plays Payne scored a goal. Payne kicked goal. After the touchdown, Nelson Archer kicked off to Howard's two-yard line. Payne rebounded from the line. In the fourth quarter, Morehouse is a renewed backfield (excepting Moser) to the situation, and drove the ball down. Archer made another beautiful kickoff—this time to Howard's five yard line, and her thrill came when Moser made a 32 yards, together with his run. The Tigers intercepted another pass and thus it consumed Moser's anxiety was costly to her, causing her to lose heavily on slugging, off-side, and Both lines made excellent showing.

SPORTS POTPOURRI TUSKEGEE WINS FROM CLARK AS 4000 FANS YELL Alumni Bowl, Tuskegee, Oct. 15. Tuskegee's hardy young men from the great open spaces defeated the Clark University boys of Atlanta, 28 to 12 here today, playing in what, to both teams, was the home-like atmosphere of a beautiful autumn afternoon, with just enough chill in the air to let the great crowd know that football days had arrived. The Tigers continually drove through the screaming Panthers that Coach Sam B. Taylor had been so carefully nurturing. Four thousand spectators saw one of the most bitterly fought games ever played in the bowl. The fireworks opened at the very start and continued to the last minute of play, mering attack with punched hole after hole in the Clark University line. But even in defeat there was honor for the beaten Clark team. It fought back with the fury of a real panther and was still fighting back at the end. Wooten was the individual star, and Tuskegee the greater team, but Clark had its moments of satisfaction. Their hope for victory rose in the first and fourth quarters, when touchdowns were registered. Taukegue won the toss and chose in recount and for the first nine minutes up five first downs, losing fifteen points to penalty, gaining five yards by penalty, gaining five yards by penalty, costly fumble, a lucky recovery, a pretty forward pass and touchdown, turned the kickoff 65 yards, aided by penalty, in play and scored. Bowie won the extra point. The score was 7-6. Bowie moved the danger and insecurity from that one point lead, cost the Tigers the lead, and scored a spite of telling gains by Wooten and Bailey, and a pretty pass from Smith to Sidowman, prevented further scorers. Following swiftly on the whistle for the second quarter, Bailey and Wooten hit the visitors' line for gains that resulted in first downs. Harrison plowed through for short gain, followed by an air trip, Stevenson to Smith, and the ball was over. The grand stand yelled its relief as the oval sailed through the posts making the score board read: Tuskegee 14, Clark 6. Clark turned viciously to the attack. The crimson and black stars began to twinkle through the Tigers' wall; the wall closed up. Both teams took to the air. Then something happened. It was the Tigers' ball ep Clark's 35-yard line. Tuskegee was penalized. It was the second down with 25 yards to go. Wooten was stopped. Stevenson kicked out. Roberts returned the ball 5 yards. It was Clark's ball on her 25-yard line. Roberts fumbled; making a desperate effort to recover, kicked the ball 5, then 10, and then 5 yards into his own territory. The Tigers were upon him, as the slippery pigskin rolled over the line and a Tiger fell on it. The point was added. Tuskegee 21. Clark 6. During the remainder of the period Clark continued to threaten through the air, but to no avail. The half ended without further scoring. Running true to form, the Tigers after 3 minutes of play were within 5 yards of the visitors' goal. But the Clark line held and advanced; the Tigers lost ground. It was the fourth down with 8 yards to go. Bailey was a yard short, and the ball went over. Less than a dozen plays gave it again to Tuskegee on Clark's 3-yard line. Weoten shoved it over for the Tigers' last touchdown of the game. With the score now 28 to 6 the Atlanta speed stars began a series of darts, dodges, and ducks that formed some of the most spectacular features of the game. Roberts ripped off yardage by the 15 and 20 yard strips. Beck was a constant threat with his sure arm and sure foot. Clark kept this speed through the last quarter. One of the high spots in the game was the moment when a Clark man slipped through, blocked Stevenson's punt, and gave the ball to his team on Tuskegee's 25-yard line. A forward pass gained 20 yards and Roberts hit tackle for the score. Beck's try for point was blocked. The remainder of the game was a see-saw, with the usual dribbling in and out of second and third string men. In a few minutes more the game was over and the Tigers had climbed another step nearer the 1927 championship. WICHITA FALLS BEATS SHERMAN Wichita Falls, Tex. — A large enthusiastic crowd of students and football fans saw the Washington Leopards win the game, eleven in a snappy game Friday on the Washington school grounds. The game was played for the most part in Sherman territory, Washington was able to register but two touchdowns, the ears tightening to the point of tearing faces to Washington for downs. The first score was made in the first half, the Leopards scored a circle left end for 20 yards for a touchdown. Lewis missed goal. The Leopards scored a circle left end for 20 yards for a touchdown and kicked goal, making the score 13 to 0 in favor of Washington. The outstanding stars for the visitors, while Lewis, Winston, Sparks, John, and McCowan were especially good for the game. Flowers' Manager Seeks Damages of Kearns and Walker Flowers' Manager Seeks Damages of Kearns and Walker Informer Sporting Editor: *New York City* — While the enclosed letter explains its own purpose, I feel that a few words added in behalf of the situation will not be missed. When Tiger Flower signed to meet Mickey Walker in Chicago, it was a special event. Event flowers he lost, he would get a return bout within 90 days. Also that Walker would not meet anyone else in the league, he fulfilled this agreement. Both, as the entire sporting world knows. Consequently, I am bringing suit against Kearns and for $500,000. Before I am brought, I will know California, for breach of contract, and before I am brought, I will know the angle. The case can be said of the decision Benny Ranger rendered in Chicago has then been printed fact that the boxing commission endeavoring to find a clause in the agreement will decide, and falling, ruled that judges would assist the referee in rendering decisions in the future. Flowers claims and will defend the middle and light heavyweight titles, the most prominent ones in the larger class, including Pat McCarty, Maxie Rosebloom, Harry Dillon, Frank Moody, John McCarty, Robbie Benny, Tom Robinson, Benny Robson, Tom Robinson, Alentown Joe Gans, Pete Lato, Chuck Wiggers, and is ready for McKee McFtigue, Lou Borgas (4 times) Eddie Huffman (3 times), Chuck Wiggers (4 times), and is ready for McKee McFtigue, Lou Borgas (4 times) all three have refused to meet him. Any co-operation you may see fit for the Walker match, will be greatly appreciated and as I feel that his cause is just, you will be aiding in the shadow over the game since Dec. 3, of last year. In behalf of Flowers and myself, I am. An exact reproduction of item number 4, taken from the original article with the Madison Square Garden Corporation, before the Flowers match at Chicago, Dec. 16. He also exact reasons for my suit against Kearns, and my breached his contract. Item No.4-Party of the second part here agrees to have the Flowers within three month time from the date of the Chicago Garden Corporation, in a fifteen round match for the middleweight world's championship with their acknowledgment ticles with the Madison Square Garden Corporation, to take part in the match with the Mickey Walker is declared the world's middleweight champion, of the match at Chicago, III, Dec. 3, 1926. He further agrees here, in any boxing contest or match at stake until or before he has won the ticles with the Flowers, which this day has signed for and agreed upon under the promotion of the Madison Corporation of New York, N. Y. Another Reason For the Brench Extract Times-Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Saturday evening, Oct. 1, 1927. By Effie Welsh If there ever was an uncrowned champion, that fighter is the Deacon “Tiger” Flowers of Georgia. Last night before the largest number of fans who ever witnessed a fistic show in the coal regions, saw Flowers decisively defeat Pete Latzo in a thrilling ten-round battle. Speedy and clever, with the same ring generalship as Tommy Loughran showed against Johnny Risko, Flowers won thousands of admirers by his brilliant fighting. He was not only the aggressor, but stood toe to toe with the idol of the anthracite and swapped punches. Against Latzo, one of the foremost contenders, he looked unbeatable, and it is hard for the fans in this region to understand how he ever lost the middleweight title to Mickey Walker. On the strength of his showing here last night, fans say, he can beat Mickey Walker once every night and twice on every holiday, as Flowers devotes every Sunday to a day of rest and prayer. He is known to the sporting fans as the whitest colored boxer who ever graced the roped arena, and he has always been and always will be, a credit to the game. NOTE—As manager of "Tiger" their staff have hung up more than 50% of his wins by the kickout staff, steadily advised to his policy not to hung up. CLAFLIN HOLDS MORRIS BROWN TO 6-6 CONTEST CLAFLIN HOLDS MORRIS BROWN TO 6-6 CONTEST Orangeburg, S. C.—(ANP)—The Claflin machine showed much improvement over last week and fought hard against her inter-state rivals of Morris Brown College of Atlanta, by score of 6-6. Claflin was the first to cross a goal line when Whitfield, a newcomer, snagged a pass and ran thirty yards for a marker. Blythewood failed to kick the extra point. All scoring was in the second half. Morris Bronw, after the touchdown by Claflin, made a determined drive from their thirty yard line and after two successive downs drove their way over the goal line. The kick for extra point was blocked. It was nip and tuck throughout the struggle, with Claflin having the edge in making more first downs than the visitors. Another hard fight is expected Friday, Oct. 14, when Claflin meets N. C. Normal of Fayatteville, N. C. on the home grounds. Turner Promises To Be Sensation At State School Turner Promises To Be Sensation At State School Prairie View, Tex.—Whoever meets the Prairie View Panthers on the gridiron this season will certainly have to reckon with “Jap” Turner, the Panther-powerful triple-threat quarterback, who hails from Beaumont. He is plunging, dashing, side-stepping, tossing, kicking and literally running wild. Appearing in the pink of candition, he seems to be making his supreme efforts for a glorious finish of his college football career as this is his senior year. Then when Turner is not carrying the pigskin, there is “Jeru” Mark, the brainy captain and full-back, who is good for a 5 yard plunge anytime. Otis Mason, Bill Love and Gilbert Turner are showing themselves to be fast capable backs. On the ends A. Davis and N. Davis are running, catching and tackling well. Bates, Fisher and Prince are powers in the line. Coach Law thinks that he has one of the best teams in all his years of coaching. "You may tell the P. V. fans that I am ready for Langston and Wiley any time the whistle blows", declared the P. V. coach, himself a star halfback of Lincoln University fame. Football spirit has run high among the students here for a week and as running stronger every day. They are anxious that their record of three straight victories over the East Texas Wildcats shall not be marred. The Panthers will play Langston at Langston on October 22, and Wiley at Prairie View, October 28. SOUTH CAROLINA WALLOPS SISTER STATE 19-0 SCORE Fayetteville, N. C.—(ANP)—The State griders of South Carolina and North Carolina made bears of Fayetteville, to run roughhall over the locale and score at will. The game, after much studious roughhall, over the locale in 10-9 in favor of the Wilkinsonians. Coach Smith was well pleased with the backfield, made touchdowns at will. The backfield, like a well-oiled machine, made touchdowns at will. The backfield, ham, was deliberately injured and put out of the game after his effect. To the South Carolina aggregation go many laurels. Coach Smith and the team were much pleased with the showing of their wards, who promise to be the outstanding threat for the conference to be made. The team be done to get in shape for a hard home game in Orangeburg, when the Hill Toppers on Saturday, October 15. CHENEY ELEVEN VICTIM MORGAN VICIOUS ATTACK CHENEY ELEVEN VICTIM MORGAN VICIOUS ATTACK Baltimore, M.d.—(ANP)—Morgan College used two teams to crush Cheney he sat Saturday afternoon, and he was a beater with a score of 57-0. On the first play, it was evident that the Cheney eleven no match for the Morgantines and the Bears passed and ran at will around when one reaches the stage that he is unable to defend himself and the referee has failed in his duty of stopping the affair, the "Dacson" has failed in his duty of being in敷ed in demonstrating his superiority. Should a man of this character be deceived in color of his wounds"—WALK MILLER. Murphy Was One of Greatest Jockeys; Rode Four Latonia Derby Winners BY ALVIN J. MOSES (For The Associated Negro Press) No romance, giving imagination full reign, ever dreamed adventures half so mad as the actual deeds of colored horsemen scattered throughout the glorious pages of American history, for the mule has been made the subject of comment in jest and earnest groan for the mule has been made the subject of comment in jest and earnest groan for the genus equus and the dark skin of a American of African descent for the graduate of the Kentucky racing stable of Reynolds, who gained the archer's accolade and the archer's astirde the horses of Ed Corrigan, generally regarded as the most brilliant of the a veritable cauur in the manner in which he sat on a horse, and as a peer, he was absolutely without a peer. It was related of him that while in office he was employed Haggin, he was employed wan Band for the quarters in close to 1.14. In instruction, the clock was collected by several expert holders of the watch 14, all agreeing on the authenticity. Rode Derby Winners In the first five years of the Lationia derby, Murphy rode four winners of the race on Modesty, Silver Cloud, Volante and Emperor of Norfolk. It is singular to note that the fifth winner of the derby was also a colored jockey—Tony Hamilton, a truly great rider. For J. B. Haggin Murphy rode many of his greatest races, having the mount on Salvator, Firenze and other noted thoroughbreds. He was a powerful finisher when it was required, and took especial delight in drawing a finish close as to win by inches, when he could have won by drawing away. For Ed Corrigan, Murphy rode Riley, winner of the Kentucky derby; Freeland, the conqueror of Miss Woodford, and Modesty, winner of the first derby. He won the Kentucky derby at various times on Buchanan and Kingman, the third, fourth and fifth running of the Latonia derby on Bersan, Silver Cloud, and Libretto. At one time or other he won most of the rich Eastern stakes. Murphy was pofite, and a gentleman to the manner born. Colored Jockeys Made History Colored jockeys of the present-day who are noticeable by their absence, may well point with pride to the race that they have won, as riders and trainers in the days when horse racing was truly the sport. Murphy, whom we rate the equal of Murphy, whom we rate the equal of Blacks Take Big Part In Program of White Church New York City—(ANP)—A colored boy carried the cross of Christianity before the Protestant Episcopal bishop of New York, Sunday night, the day of the funeral of Henry and Scannel Streets, while a candle flickered in the most remote gallery where people of the youth's race took shelter — alaves. The occasion marked the 100th anniversary of the cornerstone laying of the edifice. Toward the close of the service walters, and the colored women, out from the room of the same dim gallery. The sev. successor to the Rev. John Hobson lay in the cornerstone laying, Bishop William T Manning, was present, and listening at being present, and expressed the work of the church in the communal. All Saints is one of the oldest Episcopal churches in the city of New York. COLORED MAIDEN WIELDS MEAN PAN Newark, N. J.—(AN P)—N.N.C.y. Davis, twenty years old, is lodged in jail here charged with murder. It is claimed that she threw a can of gas-line at Carlton Jones and William Johnson, when the gasoline became ignited from a cigarette which Johnson was smoking. Mrs. Rachel Davis, the girl's mother, was so terribly burned that physicians fear for her life. The girl says that she had finished using the gasoline and wanted to throw it away to keep one of the men from carrying out a threat to throw a match into it. However, this the police doubt. Johnson was the common-law husband of the girl, and it is believed that jealous quarrel caused the tragedy. and through the Pennsylvanians' defense, Pinkey Clark, who returned to the fold recently, and Phil Williams, thrilling the crowd with their long runs and brilliant work in general. For Cheyney, Mason starred, especially in punting. After piling up a comfortable margin in the first quarter, Coach Drew sent in an entirely new team that played throughout the second period. The same tactics were used in the second half. The work of the second team showed that Morgan has two strong elevens and will be able to "make the big fellows stop" this year. any rider, black or white, that ever lived, there are many other sterling colored stars of the pigskin who are at least deserving of mention in the same breath: Alonzo (Lonnie) Clayton stands high on the list of the world's premier horsemen. As handsome as a Raphael cherub, he is deserving of ranking but slightly below the peerless Murphy. Clayton was one of the elect who could boast of having had a winning mount in the classic Kentucky derby. "Lonnie" won the event on Azra, and was one of the Latonia derby winners on Newton and Ornament. The suburban handicap with Tillio, and the St. Louis derby on the fast stepping Ornament. The late Willie Simms was another star rider of our group. He succeeded Jimmy McLaughlin when that crackerjack jockey became too heavy to ride for the famous Dwyer brothers. Riding for such a powerful stable it was but natural that he should achieve many triumph. On Ben Brush, Simms won the Kentucky derby and the Latonia derby. In the St. Louis derby, Simms was an odd on favorite to gallop, but like the best laid plans of men and mice oft gang agly, he was forced to be content with second place to Byron McClelland's fine colt Prince Lief in the fastest time ever recorded for that race. In 1893 and 1894, Simms led the jockey list for winning mounts. His second winning Kentucky derby mount was Plaudit. Monk Overton was the winner of six races at Washington Park, July 16, 1891. In one of the seven races he had no mount, but in the other six races he swept the card. Overton was a powerfully set up man. Possessing a set of forearms worthy of a middleweight boxer, he excelled in holding a hard headed horse and driving him to a finish whenever he had a chance to win. Anthony (Tony) Hamilton was another wonderful rider. Isaac Lewis, Felix Carr (pet of race lovers on Chicago and Frisco race courses); R. (Tiny) Williams, who won the Kentucky derby classic on that great colt Halma; J. Winkfield, E. West, Jerry Chorn, Link Jones, Bob Isom, Jimmy Lee, (who won lasting fame at Churchill Downs, July 5, 1916, when he piloted the winner's of the day's card of six races); James (Soup) Perkins, Isaac Allen, Tom Britton, Pete Clay, Chevalier Hoggett, Pike Barnes, "Brown" Dick (Ed Brown), who both owned and trained Ben Brush as a 2-year old; Hark, one of the wonder riders of the slave period in this country; "Abe," who flourished during the same era (1854-1865); Monkey Simon, Touchstone, and happy-go-lucky Johnny Stoval, form a partial list of jockeys who in most instances were as great, if not greater, than Earl Sande, recognized peer of American jockeys of this day.

(By the Associated Negro Press)—Fumbles proved exceptionally costly to Coach Morrison's Lincoln Lions here Saturday and Hampton defeated the Pennsylvanians 19:0 in one of the most hectic gridiron battles ever witnessed in this section. Hampton scored in the first and fourth periods. The initial touchdown came when a misplay on the part of the Lions gave the ball to Hampton on the former's 35-yard line. This fumble placed the Seasiders in the scoring zone and before the Lions could get together Byrd crossed the goal line. The try for the extra point via the forward pass route failed. The second score was made possible by a fumble in the last six minutes of play, when the Lions opened a powerful and deceptive attack which carried the ball to Hampton's 20-yard line. At this point, a fumble terminated the attack and Lee of Hampton raced 75 yards before he was downed by Dyer, the Lion center. Captain "Bull Dog" Williams, in four plays, crashed across the goal line. Lincoln's forward wall rushed the kick and it failed. Lincoln outplays Hampton from whistle to whistle, making 5 first down to the Seasiders' 3, and completed 2 forward passes, to none by Hampton. In fumbling, Lincoln, too, proved "to be superior."

WINDY CITY MINISTER PREACHES ECONOMIC GOSPEL TO MEMBERS WINDY CITY MINISTER PREACHES ECONOMIC GOSPEL TO MEMBERS Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—To prepare for heaven after death may be all right, but according to Bishop Harry Horace Haley, a local evangelist, it is best to prepare to live while on earth. This is the basis of the bishop's religion as expressed to his followers Sunday evening. Instead of spending huge sums to erect big churches or to secure big churches, the bishop urged the members of the St. James Tabernacle, of which he is the founder and head, to pool their money to build business enterprises and industries where Negro men and women can be given employment; to secure homes where they can live in comfort, and to erect hospitals, adequately equipped where Negroes can be trained in the profession of nursing, and where Negro graduate physicians can serve as internes and meet the requirements of various state medical boards.

Insect big churches or to secure the members of the St. Impress founder and head, to pool their prises and industries where Neg employment; to secure homes w and to erect hospitals, adequately trained in the profession of nurse physicians can serve as interne various state medical boards. “I do not believe”, said the bishop, “in our people spending their money to build palatial churches, when we need business enterprises, homes and hospitals. I do not believe in contributing so largely for big churches, when our young men and women who have prepared themselves for business careers are being forced to do menial work because of the lack of a field in which they can put their training to use. When we have met these demands it is time then to erect large temples of worship. God does not require a beautiful temple, but a beautiful life. He wants men and women to live right and use their talents”. The practical side of the bishop's religion is shown somewhat in his own life and accomplishments. Born on a plantation in Florida, denied the opportunity of an education, he came to Chicago, entered the ministry, but did not agree with some of the policies. He then started his own tabernacle. As he puts it, "the highways were my tabernacles, and I preached the gospel of Jesus Christ and urged my people to get something of material value along with their religion and today my eight hundred members are and and third quarters which were played in Hampton territory. In Avery and Temple the Lions boast of two of the best flank men in the game. Captain Wells, Bryant and Dyer proved to be bulwarks of strength in the line, while Clark, Harmon and Motley were "best ground gainers". Harmon starred particularly in punting and paring. For Hampton, Williams at halfback, Lee and Hunter at tackle, and Byrd at quarterback were the outstanding stars. Lee and Williams proved to the fans and the Lincoln team that they had learned football perfectly by the manner they follow the ball and converted Lincoln misplays into touchdowns. West handled the game in jam-up fashion. HOUSTON MANHOOD SOUGHT IN Y-DRIVE BANQUET PLANNED The Y. M. C.

PITWATER, D.D., Dean Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (1837, by Western Paper Union.) Lesson for October 23 THE CALL OF THE PROPHEET LESSON TEXT—1 Kings 19:19, 20 GOLDEN TEXT—heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for me? Then I send, and PRIMARY TOPIC* GOD Cheese His Habitat TOPIC* God-Call to Service INTERMEDIATE AND NENOR TOPIC* The Volunteer TOPIC* The Need for Modern Prophate A prophet is one who speaks forth the message of another. A prophet may forge events, but his primary business is to speak forth God's message. The Call of Elijah (I Kings 19:10, 20) 1. His occupation. He seems to have been a well-todo farmer, as there were twelve oak pines in his garden, but he was engaged in his common duty that he received the divine call. 2. How he was called. Elijah was given the Gospel by him. He the Call of Amos (Answers 7:10, 15). 1. His occupation (v. 14). He a herdman and gatherer of sycamore trees. 2. He was a prophet, not by succession* nor trained in the prophetic life to stand before the king. God is not stranded for helpless. He rises up workers from unscrupulous quarters, fills them with His spirit and sends III. The Call of Isaiah (Isa. 6:1-8). 1. Isaiah's vision of the Lord (vv. 1-4). No one's ministry will ever be fruitful until he has had a vision of the Lord. (1) He saw the Lord on His throne (v. 1). The supreme need of a servant of God is to have a vision of Him, even to see Him on His throne. Just now, perhaps as never before, we need a vision of the enthroned Lord, as the awful darkness is settling down upon the world. (2) He saw the Seraphim above (vv. 2, 3). They standing indicated that they were in readiness to do His bidding. Their equipment with six wings showed their ability to execute the divine will. In the divine presence, one pair was needed to vell the head from the divine glory, one pair velled the feet which had been soiled in contact with the world, while the third pair was suspended in midair waiting to depart on the divine errand. As they waited in His presence their continued ery was "Holy, holy, holy." (3) He saw manifestations of majesty (v. 4). As the holy ones cried the very doorposts moved and the temple was filled with smoke. Smoke indicates the divine presence in anger (Ex. 19:8: 20-18). 2. Inisha's conviction of sin (v. 6). When he got a vision of the holy God, when he met the Master, the reason that we need think well of themselves is that they have never seen God. Face to face with the Master, he realized that he had hated in speech, and if to speech, then in hearing the Master, he realized that 3. Inisha cleaned from sin (v. 6, 7). Having been convicted of and confessed his sin, a burning coal was thrown away his sin. His penitential guilt was forgiven and removed. His call from God did not come until after his cleansing. The purged soul is the soul ready for the Lord's service. As soon as he was cleaned he quickly responded for service. The one who responded for service, the Master's service really responds to the call of God. He did not wait to see the end from the beginning, but he did not wait. 6. I仕臼a commission (vv. 9-13). Because of the unimpending outlook, Isaiah shrank from his responsibility, and incessantness, but in spite of that the Lord assured him that their blindness and the people would go on in sin, be taken into captivity, and the land left desolate; but as the oak, after shedding its bark, it lifeless, yet it retains its substance and so can manifest its life, the wood seen to see under this figure that the kingdom shall come the nation a remnant shall be saved. The holy seed of the kingdom shall come to fruition in the last days. The Highest Energy "Prayer is the very highest energy of which the human heart is capable." —Coloridge.

THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1927 Memphis, Teen.—(A N P)—Klahani Edwards, Richard Coulson, and Lonnie Lott were found guilty of murder of a man who was killed in connection with the killing of L. W. Gunther, a white pigstail operator, and defendants accepted the verdict and sentence with an air of indifference. This case shattered almost as many records as did in the last baseball season. First, this was the first time in the history of the state that three men have been charged with shooting a shot fired. The second record to be made, which was truly the first, was that three men were charged with jury duty were accepted and another was set up in the time required. Each of the defendants confessed to having been present when the murder was committed on the night of July 5th, and firing the fatal shot.

Clark, who is alleged to have attempted to assault a white woman. Key was the guest of honor at a mass-meeting held Sunday afternoon, at which time he was praised by his fellowtownsmen of the white race, and at which he urged his white friends to let the law take its course. The man hunt had been in progress for some time and Key declares that he saw Clark in a graveyard just a short distance ahead of the posse. He ordered Clark to halt and he did. Key then rushed him to his own house and locked him in the cellar. After notifying the sheriff, he armed himself with a shotgun to protect his prisoner from any mob violence. The arrival of the sheriff ended his anxiety and vigil and Sunday he sat on the judge's bench. Key was given $500 for his accomplishment, and in accepting it asked the white people to give Clark a chance to prove his innocence before the court.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1927 THE BEE'S BOSH, BULL AND BUNCOMBE In its issue of Oct. 15, 1927, the Chicago Bee, which styles itself as being the "Race's Greatest Newspaper", assumes a rather amateurish or inebriated and inert editorial attitude in an attempted flaying and lambasting of the Houston Informer for one of our recent editors, captioned, "Our Position Seems Misunderstood". With an editorial jabber of big and meaningless words, which possess neither logic nor reason, and which even fail to prove interesting reading matter, the would-be erudite and verbose Bee editor fails utterly to present his case, or to state his cause in an intelligent and understandable manner. With one stroke of the pen the Bee editor attempts to pay The Informer a compliment, and with the next stroke of his pen (or typewriter), our Chicago journalistic contemporary endeavors to stay and excoriate The Informer editor, or to engage in satire and sarcasm; to give Bee readers a concrete and tangible demonstration of the pseudo-trenchant wit and profundity or morbidity of mental reasoning indulged in by the effete and effervescent editor" of the stinging and sticking sheet of the Windy City. Like the chilly blasts and rumbling winds from Lake Michigan, the Bee editor makes much noise and devotes much space to a lot of "bullshevik" and vainly yet frantically essays to prepare and dish-out to his many readers a nice mess of journalistic pot-pourri, having its objective the discrediting and castigating of the Informer editor for his observations and opinions concerning certain of the "brothers" in Chicago, who were alluded to in our former editorial as "strivers", and "fronters". Since his phraseology is so verbose and his editorial ramblings so obseute, dull and stupid; and, since the Bee editor seems to be trying to go somewhere and say something, but does not appear to know the route or how to use words and expressions that even he, himself, can understand and comprehend. The Informer is unable to answer him, or to give his would-be editorial scathing of us the species of consideration that ordinarily it would elicit. It seems that our Bee frater has fallen into the category of some of the so-called smart and brilliant Negroes of his section, who consider themselves identified with the Negro intellectuals when they can employ big words which neither they nor any of their people can understand. Judging from the wind and bluster in his attempted effuse, profuse and highly enlightening editorial comment on The Informer and his abortive attempt at alliteration, the Bee editor seems to be striving with might and main to live up to the moniker of his great municipality, which has the sobriquet of the Windy City. Having been influenced and actuated, apparently and presumably, by all the wind and bluster from Lake Michigan, it is not alarming nor surprising to behold the eminent editorial writer on the Bee now trying to qualify as a full-fledged wind-merchant or wind-immer, to employ the common-place vernacular. And yet some people argue and aver that environments and surroundings play no part in shaping, molding and influencing one's career! Our esteemed journalistic frater on the Bee seems to be "Exhibit A" as tangible evidence that environments, natural or what not, do exert a tremendous influence upon the lives of contemporaneous individuals. Pope said: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or touch not the Pierian spring." As for Asus taught to Apostle Paul: "A little learning hath made the mad." Of the one or two statements subject to some kind of interpretation or understanding in the Bee editorial, the one charging The Informer with being actuated by a desire to "keep Texans home," evidently shows the mental cavorting and cantankerous contortions of the Windy City editor; for The Informer has never advised Negroes to remain in Texas or in the South, nor has it urged them to migrate to the North and East; but we have contended that any American citizen has a right to live anywhere in this country where he can better his condition and those of his immediate family. There are thousands of Negroes in Chicago doing well and not classified with the "strivers" and "fronters"; and there are thousands of Negroes in Chicago who are striving and trying to keep up a front; and though their spirits are willing, many of them find to their sorrow that their puruses are weak. It seems that the Negro, of all races, hates to take an occasional racial inventory; to take stock and find the facts; to see how well America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper he is living up to his opportunities and to what extent he is shou- dering the responsibilities that daily confront him. Often we want to remain on the mount of transfiguration, and enjoy the blessings of the moment, while the real work must be accomplished at the base of the mountain—down in the valley where "the races of men go by." If our esteemed journalistic contemporary of the Bee were a real thoroughbred and good sport, why didn't he reproduce the entire Informer editorial and then permit his readers to judge for themselves the merit or demistr in our editorial observations. Now to show him that this editor is a "good sport," we are going to reproduce herewith his entire editorial, and shall run same just as it appeared in last week's issue of the Bee, even to typographical errors, misspeelled words, punctuation, etc., and thereby permit our readers to draw and reach their own conclusions in this controversy. The Bee editor follows: Texas the supreme DON'T GO TO I DON'T GO TO I did not in until you say IF YOU DO THE STATE TELL ME WE Texas may for FORGET ME WE SAY NO I leave that to INSULTED T INFORMATION The Houston Informer is a weekly periodical of pith, push, pull and pretensions; a star among the satellites of the "Lone Star State"* journalistic firmment; a pioneer passion, a pill or pillar (if not pillow), a power! FKM:F It seems ever to live up to its name and reputation and remain informative, true, tried and trustworthy. It is this ambition-spreading of the facts, faces physiques, foundations (real and superficial), the foliages and facelessness of Chicago Negroes that brings it into court. For it that seems during a recent visit to the "Windy City," the eagle-eyed editor was as observant as Doyle's "Sherlock" and, camelite, gorged himself with stilled, distilled, solid, and liquid information regarding the halos, habits and habitats of Chicagoans in general and former Texans in particular. Since his return to the Texas plains the editor became inspired with the urge that plainly it was his painful duty to make public and in the unadorned editorial column of the "Informer" the chaff gleaned and garnered from the consumption of the hollow editorial gourmands to what their impious appetites and satisfy their inner cravings for a light diet, digestible, palatable and satisfying. We gather, wisest much speculation from a recent editorial in the "Informer" entitled "Our Position Seem Misunderstood," some former Texans of the "Windy City" have taken exceptions to the charge of the "Informer" that Chicagoans of color are "strivers," "frontiers," "fakes" and "fourfurthers." Very few people in Chicago or of Chicago are aware of the tempest of teapot proportions that has been raging between the bellicose editor and his caribbean transplanted Texas-III colonists or we conceived other than as a border observer, or inexplicable bystander, not as umpire or arbor observer. Yet, in passing, we may observe that the conditions of which the editor complains are true to a certain extent, here as well as elsewhere, and, while we will not attempt to condone a situation all too easily, we will not attempt to condone a situation all too easily upon it, when evidences of thrift, progress, industry, accomplishments in fields of endeavor, obviously overbalance every contention to the contrary and dispels the nightmare that so pitifully affrights the "Informer" into hysteria. We know that the informer knows the truth, but permits these fallacious half-treasure to drape with festive, if not decoratively decorative adornments the "Informer" editorial sanctorum to keep the Texans home. He will have to epitomize more Menckenese, and envise or invent a more horrible Chicago to keep the Texans of color from migrating to Texas, and to prevent standing citizens, we are proud to number hundreds of Texans to whom the magnet of opportunity, equality of freedom, and the pursuit of happiness in Illinois (if somewhat illusive at times) is stronger and by far more magnetic than the delusion of the undeipherable TORNADO WRECKED NEGROES' HOMES According to reports emanating from St. Louis, Missouri, the tornado wrought havoc with the homes of some of the leading Negroes of the Mound City, one correspondent stating that "more than 200 of the finest homes owned by Negroes in America were damaged, some a total loss." In a communication received from James T. Bush, a former Texan and president of the Jas. T. Bush and Company, Inc., a $100,000 realty and brokerage corporation of St. Louis, the writer estimated that it will require fully $2,500,000 to repair and restore the damaged property. Mr. Bush's company, which has financed more than fifty per cent of the Negro homes in St. Louis, is undertaking the herculean and Amazonic task of saving the situation for the colored victims of this awful catastrophe, and to save them from greedy, heartless and avaricious money-lenders. In his appeal to the Negroes of America for financial succor, Mr. Bush wants it distinctly understood that his company has no stock for sale, nor is the public offered any quack or get-rich-quick proposition. In his letter Mr. Bush makes the following proposition: "We simply want this money loaned to these people at 6%. Several times the amount needed is deposited in white institutions at a rate of less than 6%, and we are of the opinion that, with the support of the Negro press, it could be made available for this wory cause." One has but to glance at the pictures of the devastation and destruction wrought in this colored section of St. Louis, and he will readily discover that there is an urgent need for financial assistance. Unlike sufferers from natural disturbances and disasters in some sections of the country, the St. Louis Negroes are not beging for alms or charity, but they are submitting to the public a bona fide, business proposition, and The Informer hopes that the race's response to this appeal will be speedily forthcoming. As loan correspondent for the American Woodmen, the Jas. T. Bush and Company has handled more than $500,000 on homes and buildings in St. Louis; and, aside from this fraternal organization, the West St. Louis Trust Company and Savings Trust Company are cited as references as to the type and caliber of the property this racial corporation now trying to perform this particularly needed service to the hundreds of Negroes whose homes have either been damaged or wrecked by the recent tornado which swept in its unleashed fury across certain sections of the Mound City. Individuals or organizations, interested in such a humanitarian cause and good business proposition, are urged to communicate at once with the Jas. T. Bush and Company, Inc., 2605 Market Place, St. Louis, Mo.

Well, folks, after reading the above letter from such an honorable, noble, courageous and Christian-hearted, woman and an outstanding fraternal leader as Mrs. McPheron, who heads one of the richest and strongest Calantha jurisdictions of the order—a woman of unimpeachable integrity, at whose character she is so proud, that she advocates of the cardinal principles of Christianity and fraternity; a woman who would not stoop to malicious and willful misrepresentation of any man, woman or child; a queenly leader who "files no doubtful flag" and "trims no sails to catch the passing breeze"—you must conclude that the burden of refuting or disproving the charge that Mrs. Green insulted the good Texas rests upon the house of Green & Company, New Orleans, LA.

If Mrs. Green did not insult the good women of Texas, we would appreciate Mr. Green's explanation for the lengthy conference held late one night during the supreme court, at Hotel Tremier, between Ernest T. Tidrington of Evansville, Indiana, and Robert A. W. Willett of Wichita, worthy counselor of the Court of Calathe; W. S. Willis, Dallas, Texas, grand chancellor of the Texas Pythian jurisdiction and Mrs. F. K. McPhrerson, Gainesville, Texas, grand worthy counselor of the Texas Calatheans, when an attempt was made to overturn the judgment of "Mrs. Green's insulting speech to the women from Texas."

"dat I'm is proud dat I'm is er black man. Before rushing into print with a general disclaimer and boldly asserting that Mrs. Green had too much culture to insult the women of Texas, or any other state, Mr. Green should have fortified himself with the facts; for Mrs. McPherson's letter, unsought and unsolicited, speaks in audible tones that somebody has been parsimonious with veracity in this matter, and corroborates that Mrs. McPherson in Informer's Chicago correspondent stated in his article which appeared in The Houston Informer under date of August 27, 1927.

The Holy Writ gives this admonition to all: "Be sure your sins will find you out," while one of the inspired writers of the new Testament warns us to govern and bribe our tongues; adding that the greatest members of the body, its activity can wreak untold damage.

Since Mrs. Green has publicly stated (as charged by Mrs. McPherson) that "TEXAS IS NOT FIT FOR A DOG TO GO TO"; and since Supreme Chancellor Green has publicly asserted that "the South is no decent place for any black man's wife, daughter, mother or sweetheart," we opline that the former has made her "decent" section of the country, and thus be safe henceforth, now and forever from the "probability of racial trouble" in the "far South."
