The Mirror
There is a vast difference between a newspaper and a sheet, and no publication can lay honest and just claims as a newspaper which does not give its owners some REAL NEWS and VIEW.
In this respect, The Informer is the only newspaper in Houston, or South Texas, which has exclusive rights to the new service of the Associated Negro Press, which serves as a means to provide the public with news, the manner as the Associated Press serves the white daily newspapers.
Imagine some white daily newspaper trying to operate and furnish its readers with world news, without the opportunity for the public to see the news, gathering and serving agency!
The Associated Negro Press, with headquarters in Chicago, has a corps of well-trained, capable and efficient news-仓员, who are constantly working on the job, getting the news from the newspaper in� newspaper; and every Negro newspaper in America, which has any rating and prestige, is served in some manner by the national organization.
Aside from the editorials from the pen of the editor-in-chief of The Informer, this paper also carries editorial opinions from such distinguished writers and publicists as Dean Kelly McNar, John G. McNar, John D. C., who needs no introduction to the American reading public; William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, one of the national组织 of the American Journal, Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson, wife of the late Paul Laurence Dunbar and an outstanding journalist; Mrs. Drusilly Dunjee-Houston, one of the deepest students and most prolific writers of history, and one of the most prolific writers of sentiment health authority and writer of no mean ability, et al.
We are delighted with the many expressions and compliments received from our readers all over the country, including the American Journal, the American Dress" and the marked improvement in its mechanical appearance; and we wish to assure all our readers and advertisers that we shall attempt to make each issue of this paper better and die, disapprove the proposed improvement over the

COLUMNIST HAD BIRTHDAY
This columnist had a birthday last Sunday, and Old Man La Grippe tried so hard to make it unpleasant and uncomfortable for ye scribe. Despite the fact that we took a "long count" Sunday morning, even being late getting to Sunday School, at hour of writing something to fill this column we have not yet lost the battle to our aforementioned adversary or opponent.
Imagine our surprise (or shouldn't we say delight) at church (Bethel) Sunday morning, when Miss Lydia Hawkins, principal of Gregory annex, presented this writer with a birthday present—our favorite calo. Like the well-known Bible character

Pictorial Portrayal of Damage Wrought By St. Louis Tornado
The finest colored residential section of St. Louis was demolished by the recent tornado which swept that city. The lives of twenty-two colored people were lost with the possibility that more may be in the wreckage. Citizens are are struggling bravely the monumental task of rehabilitating themselves and rebuilding their homes. It is feared that lack of capital may cause tremendous economic losses. —A. N. P.
Recent A. N. P. Survey Reveals Awful HAMPTON GRADS Colored Savants Damage Done Colored St. Louisans; SUPPORT BOARD Hold Big Meeting; Loss Estimated At $2,250,000.00 IN LATE STRIKE Woodson, Leader
(S staff Correspondent Associated Negro Press)
St. Louis, Mo.—The general public outside of the confines of the city of St. Louis and the eastern section of the state of Missouri, does not realize the havoc wrought by the tornado which struck her a few weeks ago. The general belief is that the greatest destruction was done in the residential district of the city. A tour of the devastated area proves this belief erroneous. Beautiful residential districts, one of the finest in the country, composed of some of the most pretentious homes owned by Negroes in the city and state, were destroyed. The residents were told once the show-places of race, locally, as far as residences are concerned, are now piles of brick, mortar and stone. Block after block, on Cook Avenue, Welle and Enright avenues, were laid out, and the memory of the funeral is remembered of the stipendous task faced by the citizens of St. Louis in the rehabilitation of these homes.
While the loss of lives was to a cer- it is evident that the job is too big extent negligible, due probably to for local effort. The loss was too great, and the memory of the funeral is too critical, and o'clock in the afternoon when children help is needed. How these Negro possessions are at work in a livelihood, the loss of a few is to be rehabilitated in the question property.
Loss Estimated At $2,250,000
A conservative estimate of the property loss to colored people occasioned by the destructive winds and rains has been set at $2,250,000. In many cases a home represented the result of a life of saving and sacrifice. And in a few minutes the work of a lifetime was wiped out and a new start will have to be made.
It is hardly conceivable that wind and rain could have wrought the destruction which this tornado accomplished, but the ruins of buildings, large and small, stand, bearing mute testimony of the power and fury of the tornado. These ruins bear more semblance to those following a fire than that which the layman might expect from a cyclone or tornado.
Here and there are large brick buildings with the fronts torn out, another lost a corner and the windows, and hundreds of mere piles of brick. On West Bolle for two blocks there is not a single house which can be inhabited, or repaired quickly and cheaply. The same is true of the beautiful residences on Cook Avenue and Erlright.
House Furnishings Destroyed
Added to the plight of being rendered homeless, is that of losing all clothing and the like. Those homes which were in comparison slightly damaged by the winds, were flooded by the storm, and were "from the cellar to the attic." The tour of the torrential rain of the life of St. Louis in the remaining ruined property was not so remote, and furnished furniture it did before the storm, but utterly ruined. Coats, hats, et cetera were hanging in their closets, and their usefulness has been destroyed.
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1927
it is evident that the job is too big for local effort. The loss was too big for local effort, it is too critical, and help is needed. How these Negro businesses are concerned with the local Chamber of Commerce which is staggering the minds of the St. Louis leaders. White and Negro business men allie are condemning Bixby of the local Chamber of Commerce to the total loss, reaching $500,000 and it does would be so great, Mr. Bixby's statements to the effect that the help he provided to the National Red Cross was not needed. The result is that the small property owners give them a start as has been true of similar great disasters elsewhere find themselves in the need of gramping money lenders who are demanding twenty-five and thirty per cent on seconddeed of the James T. Bush Company, and the leading result of the city, whose residents require $100,000 in money on colored homes than any other single agency, is endowing to the local Negro Business League and the Peoples Finance Company, which will provide a fund to help the home is it hoped by these leaders that the Negro Finance Corporation, various individuals with surplus money will assist in aborning ponds secured by the Negro Business League to house the homes are to be erected. "that we are asking for," said Bush. "The investment which will pay the investor seven per cent. We expect to raise the outside, we can save the homes on the outside, we can save their efforts of a lifetime if compelled to accept the terms now demanded by the Negro Business League to St. Louis will be struck a blow from which it will not recover." the
Hampton Inst., Va.—A statement following a meeting of the executive committee of the Hampton Alumni Association, authorized by Charles H. Williams, chairman of the alumni visitation committee, Charles T. Rushall, Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, all alumni and the alumni committee, has been issued as follows:
"The executive committee of the Hampton Alumni Association met in a special session at Hampton Institute, and the committee called by the chairman, Dr. W. E.Reld, was attended by alumni from different colleges and telegraphers and telegraphers were read from distant alumni, who on account of short notice, were unable to be present.
"After a five-hour session in which the committee viewed all aspects of the visitation committee, it was unanimously voted to support the administrative board in Hampton during the recent strike.
"The visitation committee, operation of the executive committee, will cooperate with the committee, justing matters which it is hoped will make for better understanding on the subject."
'Jim-Crow' School Tangle Appealed To Supreme Court
Washington, D. C.—The case of the demonstration of white school children alleged to have been inspired by their parents in Gary, Ind., in Emerson High School of that city, and the school board's ready and eager response to the demands it will go before the United States Supreme Court as a test case, the case of the warranted cases of jim-crow legislation. The legal point at issue is the constitutional right of states to discriminate in the education of children in spite of the various amendments to the federal constitution that follow. Negro children of Gary, as well as several upstanding white citizens declare that the case will be carried out by the Negro Association for the Advancement of Colored People are taking an active joint just to see that nothing is left unanswered. Negro children of the Gary High
Pittsburgh, Pa.—During the three-day meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, held in Ebenebee Baptist Church here last week under the direction of Dr. Carter W. Woodson, the founder and savants from all parts of the United States gathered and discussed numerous phases of Negro life and history during the visit of the public visiting. Dr. Woodson in his last address addressed the commission, which is attempting to promote harmony between the races without first giving the theses and achievements of the history, achievements of the Negro, and admitting the "inferiority complex" situation was the result of 300 years
Said Woodson: "Put the records of the Negro and his achievement in the fields of art, literature, politics, the stage and other branches of endeavor, before the world in type and we can leave our glorious records on the footprints of time."
"Let our Negro preachers talk about our Negroes who have made history for us and let our Negro choirs sing the songs composed by Negroes in order that they can help the process of educating the people to the fact that there are some worthwhile people among us, and that we have really accomplished something."
Rabbi Samuel H. Goldenson presided at the Tuesday evening meeting at which Prof. L. L. McKennae, of

New York City —(ANP)—According to Attorney Myles A. Paige, Judge Lewis A. Abrams of the seventh district being prejudiced against colored people Attorney Paige declared Judge Abrams, in charging the jury in the case of a courtroom, the verb tilted which showed his partiality to the defendant. When the jury filed of the court-room, the verb tilted took place. Judge Abrams thwarted to take the jury's hands and send it to the district attorney's office. This Counselor Paige invited the jury to the district attorney's office. Judge the judge decided to let it remain
EXTRA! FLORENCE MILLS IS DEAD
New York City—(ANP)—Florence Mills is dead. The "Little Blackbird," who thrilled the剧院protegers on two continents, has gone in search of her mother, who cumbered Monday, following an operation for appendicitis, after friend thought she was on the road to recovery. Sunday night she suffered a post-operative shock. Her debut into the theatrical world as a child performer at a small theatre to a mixed audience in Washington, D. C. She was a shy, diffident little thing and attracted attention because of a certain wistfulness and pleasanity of character. Thereafter little was heard of the young lady who replaced Gertrude Saunders in the cast of the original "Shuffle Along" at the Sixth Street Theatre in New York City. She was a show's run. Critics on daily newspapers promptly recognized the striking personality of Miss Mills, and she began to garner the contents of what has since grown to be an immense scrap book of favorable clips. On December 25, a few months after joining the cast of "Shuffle Along," she appeared with the stars of the show at "Clown Night" at the National Vanderville Artists Club, to which she was invited to present her to a larger public. Her later success was predicated upon that night, for there was crystallized the determination of Lew Leslie, a teacher at the University of New York, starring Mills Mills. After much success in America, Miss Mills returned to Baltimore, and called for Europe, where she was received with much acclaim. She had a new audience with an applause with which she

TENN. BAPTISTS
COMBINE ROGER
WILLIAMS, HOWE
Knoville, Tenn.—(ANP)—One of the outstanding decisions made at the annual meeting of the Tennessee Baptists was that the Roger Williams College of Nashville and Howe College of Memphis will be combined and located in Memphis.
This action on the part of the convention tends to assure the state Baptists of one of the strongest colleges operated and controlled by the denomination. Roger Williams University has real estate holdings and buildings in Nashville valued at $150,000 and there was a strong inclination to locate the combined school in Nashville, 'but due to the large Negro population of Memphis, it was deemed best to place the institution in Memphis, where it would serve a greater number.
RACE TEACHERS TO CONVENE IN STATE CAPITOL
Austin, Texas—According to advises from the executive office of the Colored State Teachers Association, President T. T. Pollard, Beaumont, has announced that the meeting of the association, November 24-28, will be unique in that one of its sessions will be held in the capital, at Austin, and that Dr. Sutton E. Griggs will address the gathering. For many months efforts have been made to arrangements for the use of the building and the final consent of the board of control has been but recently cut off. In the history of the state, as well as the second time within this year, the opportunity of using this building
This is but one of the many features of interest which is being prepared for those who attend the meeting, according to Executive Secretary J. W. Rice of Dallas. Feature lectures by leaders in education in the state have been arranged for the program, the annual football classic between Paul Quinn and Samuel Huston College, a pageant on musical night, and a program filled with demonstrations and group lectures, await all of those who make the trip to the Capital City for the meeting, and, according to the present indications, the session this year will be unusual for the number of memberships which have been paid before the opening of the meeting. Agents for the association, most of them appointed by the superintendents of schools, are collecting the memberships and the secretary-treasurer, Miss Ellie A. Walls, of Houston, reports that many are being received.
In some cases, particularly in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Waco and Houston, plans are being perfected for the carrying of special coaches, Pullman and chair cars, to the state meeting and special agents are registering those who are to take advantage of the means of travel. Railroad certificates, together with other information are being mailed out of the office of Executive Secretary Rice, 2600 Swiss Avenue, Dallas, Texas.
MOTON DIRECTS GROUP SINGING AT YMCA MEET
Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—Dr. R. R. Moton, prominent colored educator and successor of Booker T. Washington as president of Tuskegee Institute, took the rostrum during the first session of the fourth annual meeting of the national council of the Y. M. C. A. at the Edgewater Hotel, and led the group of 375 members of the council in the singing of Negro spirituals.
"If you all were Negroes, I could lead you better," he remarked heard the song.
On concluding the second song, "Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart", Dr. Motel said: "If we lived that, it would give all the problems

LAUNCH COURSE TO STUDY NEGRO LIFE, HISTORY
Washington, D. C. "The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History began extension courses in subjects under its home study department on Oct. 1. The courses are designed for those interested in general education and to meet special needs. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the director of the Association, will give instruction to give instruction in subjects concerning the Negro race and its achievement because only a few university students have experience with the life and history. One of the purposes of the courses is to provide instruction for teachers in such subjects. The courses are also planned to give instruction to social workers and persons seeking to broaden their education. The course will be mail. Each course opens with an introductory statement outlining the course and advising how it should be studied. A supplemental work of work. When the work is completed the recitation paper is returned to the instructor for corre-
The work offered will include courses in African art and culture, contemporary literature, the Negro in history, Negro economic history, general and African anthropology, Negro church history, psychological and English composition. The teaching staff will be composed of Carter G. Woodson, instructor in art and literature; Frank K.

Jackson, instructor in English and literature; M. M. Fisher, instructor in ecclesiastical history; James H. Johnston, instructor in ecclesiastical Chas.
The only requirement for admissions to the college is to prove by the work. The courses however, are based on a general knowledge, experience, and only those who have had the equivalent of a high school education are urged to apply. In real science are urged to apply. The courses are also offered to students who have completed Negro life and history, and to committees and commissions that are in charge of the association has some clubs officially connected with it, and local branches are being organised in the larger colleges.
The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History established an increasing demand for public lectures and information by correspondence. The association was organized by the Negro Historical Society in 1915, to collect sociological and historical data bearing on the Negro, to promote the study of the Negro through clubs and schools, and to bring about harmony between the Negro and the white community. Other, in January 1916, I began the publication of the Journal of Negro History. In 1922, through a grant from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial a department of research was established, and in 1924 began the celebration of Negro History. The officers of the association are: John R. Hawkins, president; S. W. Rutherford, secretary-treasurer, and director of research and editor.
Harlem Internes Held Responsible For Negro's Death
New York City.—(ANP)—Two interns, one colored, Dr. Maynth of Harlem Hospital, have been named in the death of William Scott. According to the story told, young Scott, 22, was taken from them. Scott was a very early morning. An ambulance had been summoned to Scott's home, 48 West 130th Street, with Interne Guttman in attendance.

SCHOOL BRINGS MEAL PROBLEMS
The bell that sounded knell for the happy-long summer playtime now rings out daily for the morning procession back to the schoolroom. And mothers have begun to ponder the problem of offsetting the effects of indoor confinement on growing youngsters by proper and wholesome food.
Children's appetites are fickle. Left to themselves children would too often salvage precious minutes from mealtime to barter for playtime. The three R's leave all too little time in their estimation for the important business of play! So wise mothers are deliberately tempting the boys and girls with dishes so attractive and at the same time so wholesome and nourishing that neither schoolroom confinement nor the diverting call of the play hour will tear down the health reserve that the summer vacation has built up in young bodies. Wise mothers know that such subtle temptation is ever so much more effective than command or direct persuasion!
When Johnny bakes at any more eggs and milk, he can be wont with the addition of a little cream, pleasing form all the high food values which he rejects in plainer and less appetizing guise. Here is an excellent avenient to make and one that offers opportunity for endless variation by the addition of cocnut, chocolate, nutmeg and vanilla oil.
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon salt
2 whole eggs or 3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla or desired flavor
Dilute the condensed milk with hot water and bring to the scalding point in a double boiler. Pour this slowly into the milk and stirring the mixture thoroughly. Return to the double boiler and continue to cook, stirring constantly until the milk is thick enough to add the salt and flavoring and then chill for serving. This is a dessert easy to get around any condensation again, since the possible variations that will occur to the inventive cook easily get around any condensation

1 cup grated cheese
Heat the strained tomatoes to double boiler. And all other ingredients, except for fifteen minutes, stir frequently. Butter a shallow baking dish in the tapioca mixture. Make four small pans and into each break an egg. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in a moderate oven. 360 degrees Fahrenheit, until the eggs are soft. In the parsley and the children will eat their eggs without a knife.
Next to eggs perhaps the most difficult item to popularize with children in vegetables. An intriguing recipe that requires the growing younger's diet is to mold the unattractive garden product into a healthy bean, banana, corn, potatoes, mealy-chopped bean, and chopped celery, all offer excellent basic material for a health-building salad. Here is a recipe for an asparagus salad.
Drain the liquor from a can of aparagus tips. Add one tablespoon of chopped celery, and lightly mash to make a pint. Add to this one-half cup of chopped celery, one-fourth teaspoon of garlic, and Simmer for a few minutes, strain, and add a package of lemon-flavored gelatin to attractive dish with the gelatin and let harden. Then place aparagus tips with strips of green pepper and pimento into the tin over it. Set away to harden. You can be sure of an enthusiastic response when it is served on crisp lettuce and garnished with the following dressings:
3 tablespoons evaporated milk
1 cup salad oil
2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sugar
Combine the dry ingredients, add milk, and gradually heat in the oil; then add the vinegar or lemon juice till smooth. This dressing, which is so easy to prepare, will keep indifferent.
It is with such Machtialheil method as these here enumerated that the tie-down can be used. The dren can solve the highly-important problem of keeping young students fit at the same time at a high school and the tendency to succeed in their school work.

Washington, D. C. —(ANP)—The American Red Cross is in need of a larger membership, accordin g to a report of the work of the organization during the year which closed June, 2015. The organization is making a special appeal to Negroes to join and in the next year to help Negro refugees in the various disasters last year, including the Mississippi flood. Following the Red Cross rushed to the stricken areas and administered relief to white and colorized Negroes, they helped many "back on their feet." Following the tornado in St. Louis, the Red Cross hurried to the hundreds tenanted by Negroes by the Red Cross to their rescue and worked hand in hand with the local agencies to help them. "We need 5,000,000 members," Chairman Paynes stated in the report. Our roll call should meet our normal needs and great disasters. The Red Cross cannot wait to raise funds. Action, prompt, inimitable. The Red Cross demands the lives of many. It must be strong; it must be ready; this means a large

Boston, Mass.—(ANP) - J. Solomon Gaines' entry into the race for the city council from Ward 9 has created a furore in the ranks of colored voters in the chairman Matthew Bullock of the Republican ward Council, accuses Mr. Gaines, who is the only Negro candidate of "political bad faith." He is making the race at the instigation of Augustus Slager (formerly re-entrant to the race) and without the consent or approval of the Ward 9 committee," Mr. Bullock told us. When interviewed on the Bullock charges, Mr. Gaines said, "I refuse to vote for Augustus Slager, because I attempt to answer them. I am out to win, and furthermore, I'm simply exercising my constituency rights at the race." Mr. Slager could not be seen when reporters called at his city hall office, and characterized the action "a thin ruse" and said the colored voters of the city council had Mr. Slager and his candidate Gaines. Some members of the Republican committee are even inclined to support Augustus Slager in the city council if he is favorable to the "respectable" element of the Negro

By William Pickens
(For The Associated Negro Press)
Eugene V. Debe, and others who
have had the experience, have said
that jail and prisons age for the poor
and weak—not for the rich and
powerful. Debe went so far as to say,
that the jail is more powerful than
a rich man going to jail does happen,
it is because he has come into
more powerful than he usually; a
rich man is sent to jail, if at all,
and the jail is more powerful than

he is just sent up, in order to impress
that there are other powers more
powerful than he is, so very proper 'place', so to speak, which
are so apt to make any man
But even go, as Deba alleged, the rich man seldom stains in prison for long. He goes for a short while, and then he goes to jail, then he goes for the prison doctor.

"PRO-BRITISH PROPAGANDA IN AMERICAN SCHOOL BOOKS"
We know it is all rot when we say it: I do not mean that when Englishmen (or Frenchmen or Russians) send books to America or have any influence on books produced in America, they do not try to make a good impression for THEIR country and to state the viewpoint of their nation and people. But that is what we all do, and that is legitimate. Why endeavor to make any special alarm over the fact, if it is a fact, that British writers and authors and publishers are trying to give American school children and the American public a favorable impression of British history? Everybody that knows anything about history, knows that is is largely racial and national "propa-garla", if you will call it so: that is, it is the statement of the genius and the viewpoint of the nation or the social philosophy of the individual who writes the history.
To say we will have no British propaganda in our American school we will have nothing from the English or from other British peoples in our schools, we will carry out that aim, in our hands, at the standpoint of English literature: We must cut out all the English posts in the school that best distressed the best histories no far

After we tell our tale of the "gliberization Revolution, what difference does it make if the English tell their side, and if their story is not an exact duplicate of yours? The only way to get the truth, is to learn both the battle and the "whole truth." That is not possible of man's mind. We get through the battle, the battles of the British, what harm does it do to our humanity? OTHER battles in which they licked us, and which we (very humanly) pass over without emphasis? There is no reason for them to oppose our British Propaganda. There is no elaborate propaganda in the kind our book no one would pass over without emphasis of people's viewpoint, which we should know.

CLEAN WHITE PAGE

Down in Delaware they are trying
out the experiment of the clean, white
colored women in the Colored Women's Federation started
in 1920. They began in 1919 with fifty
cents, raised a few thousand dollars
and built, hired some workers, and
built themselves to gather in the
delinquent colors of out of uniform
women in Maryland and Virginia, whither the juvenile court had sent them there, they were for women for
the growth; the women presented it to
the friends added to the small farm; the state built big building, the women were added; the state added a public school department; and l! it was an
issue for colored girls-
But the clean page! The girl's past life is forgotten, blotted out, erased, dispensed with. Poor little beginning of street walkers, orphans, forgotten sometimes almost by God, plain "fresh" adolescents, impatient of parental control; kleptomanics; starved and benten waifs; truants who found school hampered with activities; diseased little bodies; run-aways; little country girls eager for city life, and fallen into its mighty clutches; motherless girls, problems of foolish and drunken fathers; girls rescued from worse than bondage—and the garments of the past life are discarded even as their bodily clothing is thrown away. Life begins absolutely anew. No reference to the miserable past.

Southern Author Flays His Section On Race Question
New York City—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls attention to an article in the November issue of the *New York Times* and Snyder, a white man living in Mississippi, under the title "The South Bungles the Negro Problem." Mr. Snyder declares that one of the greatest injustices the South does the Nest in a class and not as an individual. "Let an individual in the South have but a sixteenth or thirty-second part of Negro blood in his veins," writes Mr. Snyder, "and it matters not how he is treated in the same way how clean his morals, how brilliant his intellect—he is nevertheless to the Southern public just a 'nigger,' to the same extent as his wife and hosts of twenty illegitimate partners." Mr. Snyder exposes the falsity of the notion that the South can prosper the same way he downs and writes in the hand in the uplift of the Negro there is a little hope of a better South for a skilled tradesman, known to many as a man of some same higher education and culture that the white man enjoys is known to
The plantation system encourages shiftlessness, declares McSyder, as lawyer and friend of the children. He says: "Surely it is high time the Southern awaken to the fact that not through antagonism, but through the kindness of the children results financially, socially, and morally." Cheerfulness, and love. A new one has run away for two years. The big girls look after the little ones, mostly warts and erphasms. But the girls are not the only moment the moment she is brought to the school, mullen, resentful, frightened—or to hide her pains, every looking to a future full of hope, joy, ambition.

THE PLIGHT OF NEGRO FARMER
By BENJAMIN F. HUBERT
President Georgia State Industrial
Colleges
"I can't hardly much use of a man trying to farm and have anything these days. Our children won't stay here and don't seem to want to farm. We are looking at the farm, looking, upstanding Negro farmer of Barwell County, S.C. C. He is owner of 170 acres of fine farm land, located on the public road. There is a farm with a stream running water through the house. Myers has farmed for 47 years. He has owned this farm for over thirty years. He has reared a fine family, but most of the children are still young. He has engaged in other kinds of work. Across the road is another colored farmer, proud owner of 200 acres of the farm, and the two grown up of the farm are grown of farm life, and the two grown up of the farm have of ever passing on this splendid farm to children who will cherish and farm it as a mountain farm.
These pictures are true not alone of two farmers in one community, but of thousands throughout the Southern states. In 1920 Negroes owned 22,000 farms in South Carolina and 16,000 in Georgia—218,000 in the whole South. What are the figures today, after the vast cityward drift of the years between? Far less than they were, without doubt. What will they be twenty years hence? The Southern Negro has been called "the world's finest peasantry." What of his future? Is he destined to be swallowed up by the cities as now seems to threaten; or will it be possible for him to retain his hold upon the soil and continue a valuable factor in production?
Nobody can say with certainty: we can only hope and fear. But if the economic and rural history of other peoples means anything to us, we may draw some conclusions which can hardly be questioned.
If the Negroes are to remain on the farms of the South and help build here in the Southland a great people and a greater South, there must be:
1. A re-direction of education. Our schools must somehow learn to exalt the ordinary things of life. They must be so organized that children will understand and appreciate values. The child must grow up appreciating the great outdoors. The school must be able to show the value of this, as opposed to the veneer of city life.
2. Fathers and mothers must early begin teaching their boys the love of God, the love of others, and the love of honest country folk—the like of whom cannot be found anywhere else in the world. These prizes will be hard to change.

This is a day of growing impurity and its devotees, picking for flaws in the Bible naturally, look for those things that accord with their own condition of mind. The Bible is a record of the status of mankind from the ancient study of ancient society reveals immoral status that are almost incomprehensible. We know not knowing this expect the Bible record to be fácil to corroborate. We do not themselves live out. THINKING that the Bible is the word of God is the fact that if the book had been written we would have fixed it up "goldgody" the fact gives us the unanswered question can the curassau God's enemy or his favorites?
This is the opposite to the working of God's own heart; yet nothing about his life was hidden. No drama of all mankind was written of this man who brought the award of detachment into his family by adultery.
The plan of salvation is too stupendous to have been the conception of Christ. CROSS is impossible to finite nature. It is impossible to glory of way. Hebrew expectation reveals the finite mind. Redemption. The promise of salvation, the placement of himself) are impossible because the crucifixion is intolerable to our friend the athlete he crises, the saint who is the sainty of the Messiah, his moral strength infurred the wicked of his
Is the Bible obscene? There is nothing in all the literature of the world that can equal the wonder of the story of the life of Joseph, in its power to win young men to conquer passion. Joseph resisted lust to his seeming ruin. How can the befogged mind of the atheist conceive the DIA-MOND in the words, "And his master saw that the Lord made all that he did to prosper in his hands." These critics have conceived that one of the main elements must be PURITY. What we lack today of God's favor lies in our scorn of chastity.
The life of Jesus and his TEACHINGS constitute the entire way of WISDOM; but it is a hidden way to wicked. New psychic cults are springing up everywhere that are lifting men to success,that have merely filched and placed under other name the TEACHING OF CHRIST. Teachings that for ages have been depleased by the average man. Spoken in parables that the unworthy might not understand. Psychology and sociology today follow the tenets of the GREAT TEACHER.
It was because of these things that the mighty mind of Rousseau cried out that the life and death of Jesus Christ was that of a God, Napoleon, God's scourge in a martial way, said: "I defy you to cite another man like Christ." All down the line of the ages in majestic procession they come, the great, the learned, the true scientist, the poet, the artist, all bestifying that CHRIST WAS GOD, the God that created the earth, who so loved us.
3. Children must be allowed to share in the management and ownership of the farm is a cooperative business, with father and mother as senior partners. Children must be chickens, bogs, cows that belong to them, will serve to deepen their inter-relationship. 4. Farms must be made to pay. Our state and federal governments should not devise, in no faraway legislation can make this possible, to give the farmer a fair chance in the competition. Farming is a primary occupation. 5. The statemanlike thing for a country is its future growth and permanency. 6. There should be greater diversification of crops. Farmers must complete failures and providing cash crops. 7. Social convenience must be carried to the rural districts, boys and girls will not be content to remain in the middle school, a good light, healthy community social life that affords some of the things enjoyed by the peasants.
7. The Negro farmer must be made aware of protection. The local state and the farm must be safe for the old farmer and his wife. They must see to it that the land Lawlessness must go. Every man wants to feel secure when he turns to work. He must be able to see that this security cannot be had, then there will be a strong urge to go to some place where he can feel secure, happy and content. The leaders in every rural community must be able to it that at least one boy and one girl leave for high school and college every year, go away fired with the police, leave for high school and college and home life. A larger number should be directed to the state where the school is located with the responsibility of leadership in problems that affect the life of the state. Our counsellor sign of promise today is the small number of numbered boys in college who are beginning to seek a future in the country. A growing number of boys in college State College there is a growing tendency of boys to look on farming as an comfortable independent living and opportunity for large service. Out of the small class, many students of bright age are turning for study and for preparation for leadership in the farms of the state.
The state industrial colleges keenly appreciate their obligation, realizing the great problem facing Southern agriculture. They seek the hearty cooperation of every friend of progress and satisfying life on our farms.
WRIGHT URGES WHITES ACCEPT NEGRO LEADERS
WRIGHT URGES WHITES ACCEPT NEGRO LEADERS
Brownwood, Texas,—(ANP)—The seventh session of the Southwest Texas Conference was held here by Bishop W. D. Johnson. The increase in finance was nearly $200 over last year, and so successful was the administration of Bishop Johnson that a resolution was unanimously adopted to ask the next general conference for his return another four years. In answering the addresses of welcome delivered by the mayor of this city and the pastor of the First Methodist Church, Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., of the Christian Recorder, said, "One of the most valuable things the church is teaching the Negro race, and the white race, too, is this: That the true leaders of the race must come from the race itself. The white people cannot make leaders for us, and should stop trying. In fact, in the most enlightened communities, I find that the white people are gradually accepting the leaders the Negroes make for themselves. And up to date these leaders are chiefly in the church. But we are rapidly making leaders in the press, in business, and finance, in politics, education, and other fields. And those are the only ones that can do any good."

In addition they will have the pleasure of seeing her as a teripiecean artist of rare accomplishment. She will be accompanied by a blue ribbon of She will call her.

Colored Cattleman
Sells $4200 Steers
Major Taylor, well known Pierce Junction race cattleman and planter, will be joined by a team, which nested him around $4200. Without making any fuss or noise, or without any one staging a ballyhoo that color has nothing to do with success in the cattle and truck grazing, that color has nothing to do that he is perhaps the largest colored cattle owner in the county, he finds. He is the owner of home consumption and the market. Mr. Taylor is easily one of our most prosperous and well-planted planters.

Supreme Chancellor's Attitude Is Defended By Two Northerners; Local Lodge Supports Position
The Informer prints, without comment, the contents of three mimeographed letters which Hon. S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., supreme chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., is sending to certain grand officers of the university. Since most of the matter, which has appeared in the columns of the Informer, supported the content and position of this paper and its editor, we are gird to avail ourselves of the opportunity to carry matter in support of the supreme chancellor; this paper believing in playing the game according to Hoyle, will have the final real errors occur, please bear in mind that we are running these letters "as is."
The communications follow:
705 N. Ohio Ave., Atlantic City, N. J.
October 14, 1927.
Sir S. W. Green, S. C.
Dear Sir & Brown.
Upon my arrival from the Grand Rapids School, I am grateful to the team maintaining your reply to the Editor of the Houston Informer awaiting me. After carefully persuasing the charges, I am satisfied that the team is vicious and scurrilous attack made on our leader by the editor of the Houston Informer approving me. It enthusiastically endorses and absolutely false. As Assistant Supreme Master-at-arms, my station is the team at-arms of the Supreme Master-at-arms are the two nearest seats to the rostrum from which you deem to could hear very distinctly every word you spoke, and I am positively sure that I am confident that I am capable as charged by the Editor of the Informer. The article is certainly defamatory, insulting and unwarranted.
I think it very unfortunate for the Grand Jurisdiction of Texas that such an article has been published. I also consider it very fortunate for the Supreme Lodge, that it did not vote to go to Texas as the Editor might go off on another wild rampage of slander, while the Supreme Lodge was in session and issue another tirade against some officer or member of the Supreme Lodge—thereby causing a race riot. Your objections, therefore, to the Supreme Lodge meeting in Dallas, Texas or any other City in the far South at this time—on account of "Jim crow cars and the unsettled racial conditions" was very timely.
I could give the Editor of the Information a bit of interesting news, if he had the backbone to publish it and write a fit editorial defending the womanhood of his race. I will now relate the story to you for the first time, and you will see that I know a little something about Texas. I was headwaiter at the Oriental at Dallas in 1896. I was also headwaiter at the Hot Sulphur Wells Hotel at San Antonio, Texas in 1902, and after being there a short while, I decided to have Mrs. Cozart and the children to come on from Chicago to San Antonio. Mrs. Cozart is a graduate of Spilman Seminary (college), Atlanta, Ga., and was a class mate of Dr. Butler's wife Mrs. Cozart purchased a first class ticket, also at a birth in a pullman sleeper from Chicago to San Antonio. She had three children, a baby in her arms, and two little tots just large enough to trail along after her. When Mrs. Cozart and the children arrived at Sherman, Texas, she was ordered out of the sleeper late at night, and made to go into the jim crow car, and she was not even allowed to pass through the other sleepers, but made to get out and walk on the ground up front to the jim crow car. This act was committed against a cultured woman who was traveling alone with three small children. Two of the children mentioned were in the World War and one of them is in the service of the government at this time.
While in San Antonio, I saw a young white fellow deliberately walk onto the same time pushing one of them on the side walk into the gutter, unfamiliar, uniforms, and had just returned from Cuba where they won glory and fame, and the South Hotel at Dallas in 1977, having brought a crew of European plan walkers from Detroit, Mich. to open an ambling letter from San Antonio which you will please return.
Yours in F. C. & B.

My dear Supreme Chancellor:
I wish to take this method, first, of a formal meeting, a deal of interest and pleasure your open letter to the Editor of the Texas Reformer and am highly pleased to have you gratulate you upon your statemanality like in which you took care of the stateman, and any stateman could produce to take care of one who sought to destroy
I wish to acknowledge to you as

contention. I acknowledge the new point.
I acknowledge the knowledge you now

RESOLUTIONS UNIHOUSLY
PASSED BY SUNREAM LODGE
103, N. K. 10, P. IN CASTLE
HALL, OCTOBER 6, 1927.
Whereas, the Editor of the Houston
Informer, in its editorial dated August
11, 1927, acknowledges lions and cawdry attack on our
header—the Hon. S. W. Green, Grand
Lodge and Supreme Chancellor of North
America, South America, Europe,
and Supreme Chancellor of North
America, South America, Europe,
he had the courage of his conviction
by taking a rightful position against the
Supreme Grand Lodge holding its
City in the "far South," on account of "discrimination" against the race. Therefore, be it resolved that:
Sunbeam Lodge No. 130, Knights of Pythias, in regular session in its Castle Hall, in the City of Alexandria, October 6, 1927, do hereby resent the vicious and scurrilous attack made on our leader by the editor of the Houston Informer. That:
It enthusiastically endorses and heartily approves his "open letter," and commends its noble and exalted defense of the race against "Jim Crowism" and all other discriminations. That:
It is exceedingly proud of its leadership—a leadership which has the courage of conviction to take a stand for the rights of the race—a leadership that is not hypocritical and that will not "bend the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawning." And that:
Finally, Sunbeam Lodge No. 130, Knights of Pythias, hereby puts itself on record as having unlimited confidence in the veracity and honor of its leader, and pledges its steadfast and loyal support to him in whatever emergency may arise.

PANTHERS FAIL TO FLASH FORM: GAME LISTLESS
Prairie View. Texas. Oct. 28. The Wiley Wildes of Marshall, defeated the Prairie View Panthers here today before a crossbar outback and customized the Prairie View rivals in every department of the game, the context being played principally under the guidance of the Wildes played chiefly a game of long swooping end runs, which time and again netted them great gains. "Big Ben" Cavil, the Wiley Wildes of Marshall, was at his best, and to tore off him around the Panther ends almost at the big state school eleven was slow and sluggish and failed to up the drive and punch it to take on the Panther. "Jap" Turner, Panther triplet steer star, also from Beamont and former teammate of "Big Ben," had an off drive and punch the form and dash he is reputed to have. The Panther score came in the first quarter by means of a safety, and the Wiley score in the second quarter by means of a touchdown resulting in a victory.
The Panthers failed to show the plight and figure of the game, a danger to them. They account for the ing. There seemed to have been over-confidence, and yet there was a sense of determination she had into the game for sixty full minutes and Prism, View dilled the ball. The Panthers were in the game with all the power they could muster. Captain Turner were "present," while some of the Panther stars couldn't get the ball. The Wiley machine was working fairly well with "Big Ben," Scott, and another team. The game was meduced in its entirety.

Yates Lions Best Wheatley Wildcats In Local Contest
The Jack Yates Lions took the measure of Wheatley Wooldens last time. The Lions were able to advance the ball by a series of line plunges and offload plays, while the Wheatley Wooldens made a fine showing for its initial game, defense only spasmodically. The Wheatley squad was never able to endure a series of offload plays made a fine showing for its initial game, defense of continued penalties, the Yates aggregation was slow getting up a scoring punch. The first touchback of the second quarter was the beginning of the second quarter. The crossing came at the end of the first half when the Wheatley squad was through for a blocked three yards from the goal. The third touchdown was made in the third quarter in a manner much similar to the tacular end-run. For the Wheatley squad was made in the last two minutes of play, when a long pass was intercepted by a Wildent who raced into nearly half the field for his goal. The crowd attending the game made the difference from both school to other intercepted passes with enthusiasm. Pep squads furnished plenty of organized cheer and amuse-

The team has it that the boys from "Tamnelleville" are roaring, ripping, mugging mustangs, and have been cleaning up every agony they have faced this season, while the goal line this season, while the fightship locks in, is still locked in the fleet-footed, hard-ground with that much touted Fort Arthur team a week or so ago. They are coming with blood in their eyes, with the intention of wiping out the sting of that 27-7 defeat administered them by the team. It will be remembered that on that occasion the "Tamnellevillians" scored first five minutes of play, but were unable to retain the early lead against the tackle plays, hard gaining and endured reeled off by our local gristrals.

Tuskegee Eleven
Crushes Lincoln
In Philly Battle
By James A. Greene (For the Associated Negro Press)
Philadelphia, Pa.—The dazzling forward passes, end runs, and line plunges of Tuskegee Institute completely crushed Lincoln University today at Philadelphia National League Ball Park to the tune of 29-0, before a crowd of 15,000 persons.
Lincoln kicked off to Tuskegee after much line plunging, and end smashes, a forward pass from Stevenson to Harris registered the tally. Stevenson kicked goal after making the score, Tuskegee 7, Lincoln 0.
Lincoln was penalized 10 yards for off side in this quarter. Lincoln braced in the second quarter, made a few successful forward passes, and then started a series of line plunges only to be stopped by stone wall defense of Tuskegee. The stellar playing of Wooten, Stevenson, Robinson, and Smith began to wear down the defense of Lincoln. A forward pass from Smith to Robinson resulted in a touchdown, Stevenson kicked goal. After a few line plunges and end runs Tuskegee brought the ball to Lincoln's 35 yard line and then mighty Steve stepped back for a placement kick which was successful; thereby making the score for the second quarter 9. The half ended with the score, Tuskegee 16. Lincoln 0.
The ball was kept in mid-field most of the second quarter with a few spectacular plays by Lincoln. Lincoln ended the quarter without any score being made, but whirldin Steven really got loose in this period, aby assisted by Wooster, Smith, and Bailey. Steve got loose for two, touchdowns in the second quarter, the delight the Taukese crowd and indeed painful to the Lincolnites. The playing of Temple, Lemon, Hill Hill, and Lincoln for Lincoln was very credible.

To Atlanta Univ.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 1, 2017—Atlanta University and Talladega College played one of the most spectaculare games in an Atlanta athletic field last Saturday. Talladega was heavy and in fine form but so was Atlanta. Coaches wonders in a week's time at the Atlanta aggregation. Talladega speed the ball to Atlanta, who returned, and then passed it to Atlanta, line—then a good pass placed the ball on Talladega's 1-foot line for a 10-yard pass. The quarterback's back was seized by Pierson of Talladega with a tensions start, ran the entire length of the field, and then Robin Ayers that raised the blood in Atlanta's eyes. They kicked, and then Robin Ayers the return kick, which was covered by Pierce for Atlanta's first touchdown, second touchdown in the second half, and the Atlanta gave most of her reserves a chance and played to hold Talladega where they had her, as they did to
Each team attempted eighteen passes, out of which Atlanta completed four and Talladega three. Atlanta won the game, and when Talladega's wonderful passing game was smothered by Atlanta, it seemed to have left the team with a few points for Talladega were Cooper, Pearson, Edwards and Capt. James. For Atlanta they were Robinson, Pierce and Wade, and Red Jones and Wimberly.

CLARK HUMBLES
MOREHOUSE 38-0
UNDER HOT SUN
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29 - Shirting the Tiger end time and again for heavier gains and launching a bewildering aerial attack, the Clark University Panthers completely outplayed the Tiger end time and ended a of 38-0 deal, before a large crowd of enthusiastic spectators who braved the heat of a midsummer run at the Clark grid here today.
The going was exceeding good for the Tiger end time, as the morehouse fumble on Morehouse 24 yard line, Johnson gained 22 yards, the next play Williams ran the ball to the end line. Later in the period Clark scored when Williams tossed 16 yards to Cornell who ran 8 yards across the line. In the third quarter Robert ran 15 yards, the next marker, the extra point being added by droppkick. Before the dust could be cleared, crossing the goal line for half, grabbed a Tiger punt, darted twisted, turned and finally pedaled off 88 yards, crossing the goal line for
Clark ran two across in the last stanza, one when Johnson, fullback, bucked across from the 3 yard line, and another when Beck stepped over from the 7 yard line. Neither extra point was added. Morehouse never did threaten, never coming closer to the Clark goal than the 30-yard line. For Clark the smooth coordination of the backfield was the outstanding feature, with Roberts, Chambers, Williams and Johnson featuring the Panther offense.
Much credit is to be given to Beck, whose running, side stepping, twisting proved disastrous to the Morehouse aggregation as well as thrilling to the spectators. Coach Harvey used so many substitutes that it is difficult to mention the merits of any of his men, but the playing of Captain Lattimore at tackle and Edmonds at half deserve special mention. Cooke broke the Clark wall on several occasions, and threw the fleet backs for losses.

Asking if America was to become a democracy or an empire, if democratic success can become imperialistic, and if the matter of Haitian recognition by this country was merely a scrap of paper, Dr. Charles H. Wesley, professor of History at Howard University, attacked the policy of the United States toward the Republic of Haiti in Tuesday night's session.

Many Made Homeless
On the day of the storm, St. Louis boasted of being a "home town," and St. Louis home. In fact, of the most prominent citizens of the city, Attorney Horney Philippe, in disguise, attributed the attack to real fakes of real cafes in St. Louis to this fact. Thousands upon returning home on the day of the attack, friends, or looming, destroyed, their personal belongings lost, and they are today homeless, living in friends, or looming, and have to have removed from the storm area. The immediate suffering was relieved by the heroic work of the American Red Cross, the American Legion; the local Irish League, and the self-serving groups of individuals and groups. The stories of the nights when the city fell graphically the conditions faced by the city and how well the citizens met their race prejudice was forgotten and white and colored worked together to combat the conditions and joined the rich and the poor together their respective stations in life and joined the community to help those in a common sight to see the daughters of millionaires serving soup to the victims.
In this suffering all distinction was submerged and laid aside, but another condition presents itself in the rehabilitation projects. St. Louis, as far as Negroes are concerned, is at a standstill in this direction. White property is being rapidly rebuilt, but in the Negro districts there is little activity in this direction. St. Louis needs help and is asking for help in this crisis.

AMOLED PLEASE FOR JUSTICE
LESSON TEXT—Ammos I-37-
GOLDEN TEXT—Lai judgment run down as wawers and righteousness as primary TOPIC—Creating Bery-ry Right NIGHT—The Kind of Man God Heath
MEDIATE AND BENOIR TOPIC—A Squaring for God against the CROSSING POPE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Conditions of Divine Approval.
-1. Israel's Desolation Predicted (vv. 1-3).
Amos lamented over the doom which was to overtake the nation. Israel is called a virgin because she had never been subdued by any foreign nation (see Isa. 23:12). Her falling to rise no more sets forth the utter desolation and helplessness to which the Assyrians subjected the nation. From this captivity Israel never returned. Those who came back from the Babylonian captivity were largely from Egypt.
II. The Call to Return to God.
God through the prophet says, "seek ye me and ye shall live." The implication is that while the divine judgments are not executed, an opportunity is offered for them to turn to God. In their turning to God they were to renounce:
1. Idolatry (vv, 5, 6).
They were to turn away from the places of idolatry- Hirsch, Gilgal and Beersehner. God's judgment was to throw them if they would not come to Him for life he would be their destroyer. "Our God is a consuming fire." The only option he could take is to seek him the one who shall destroy. 2. Cause to pervert judgment (4). 3. Turn judgment to wormwood "implies the bitterness of the perversion of justice to the injured. 4. Leave of righteousness" is thought to mean that unrighteousness was allowed to take in place. In this third exhortation the Loeck's name is used to describe the shadow of death into morning: 5. Maketh the day dark with night: 6. *Cailthe* for the waters of the sea and porch of the house and rain and deluge: 5. *Strengthened the spell against the strong.* 11. The Sins Composed by the Witch (9-10-13). 12. They hated the judge who condemned the wicked pretices (v. 10). 13. They abhored him that spoke
This most likely referred to the prophets themselves who told them of their sins and urged uprightness of them. 3. They trumped upon the poor (v. 12). The rich built magnificent houses out of the proceeds extorted from the poor. 4. They afflicted the just (v. 12). This they did by taking a bribe. 5. They turned aside the poor in the gate (v. 12). It was no money the poor were turned aside. It was most difficult for the poor to get justice. The times were so evil the prudent would best keep silence. 14. The Conduct of the Righteous (v. 14). No condition in the word, religious, social or political can become so difficult that the righteous are shut off from help. The righteous can: 15. Those who seek good shall have with them the Lord God of Hosts. 16. Must be held must. The sin question must be settled before God can bestow His blessings. 17. The prophet urged upon the court of justice to be in the gate of the city. The prophet urged upon the court of justice to be in the gate of the man in charge of public affairs.
V. The Judgment to Fall (v. 18-20).
There is coming a day of retribution. Justice and right shall be vindicated. This will be realized in the day of the Lord (II Thess. 1:7-10; James 5:7). All wrong shall be righted at that time. May we earnestly pray, "thy kingdom come."
VI. Worship Without Holiness of Life an Abomination to God (vv.21-27).
Sacrifices, observance of feast days and singing, when the heart is out of fellowship with God, is most displeasing to Him.
Two Different Things
The love of God and the world are two different things. If the love of God forakes the tree; resource that, and receive this; it is it fit that the sober love should have the best place and acceptance.
House Not Made With Hands

Quick Relief for Stiff Joints and Sore Muscles
Don't limp around in agony any longer, when a Johnson's Red Cross patient is in pain. Don't be discouraged because other remedies have brought you only temporary relief. Try a painkiller, which gives lasting benefits—warmth, support and gentleness, continuous massaging and stiff joints. A painful effect is lasting because the medication is held in full strength directly against the skin over the abdomen, as absorbed on long as the plaster remains on the body. If your muscles and skin are not well protected, work or unacustomed work, from exposure, Rheumatism or any other illness.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(ANP)—Tuskegee Institute's methods of vocational training are the methods which have been adopted for the education of the natives of the Gold Coast, British West Africa, according to Sir Frederick Gordon Guggsberg, K. C. M. G., D. S. O. Q. R. E., former governor of that colony, who addressed the students and faculty here Thursday evening. Sir Gordon is making a tour of America visiting the schools for the education of the Negro in the South and the rural schools in the West. He is spending four days at Tuskegee observing educational methods here.
“Booker T. Washington has not only helped you here in America”, Sir Gordon declared, “but his influence has reached out overseas. We have borrowed and adopted his ideas. We hope ultimately to spread industrial education throughout Africa.
“What we are trying to do in the Gold Coast is to give the natives sufficient opportunity for education that gradually they may be able to bring their tribal customs in line with the practices of modern civilization. We are trying to develop them from within rather than from without by exterior force.”
The policy of the colony, Sir Gordon said, provides for the progress and welfare of the people. He told of the progress in public health and education since the World War. At Aximota the Prince of Wales School and College has been established and nineteen hospitals have been built throughout the colony.
The speaker told of the customs of the people, their progress in civilization and the products of the country. He commended the American Negro on the progress made in education and the acquirement of property.

STRAY BULLETS
FATAL TO CHILD
Louisville, Ky.—(ANP)—The decision of Joe Van Dyke to allow his two young children to play in the front yard, while he watched them, proved tragic here Saturday afternoon, when stray bullets fired by Herbert Wells, killed Joe Jr., age four, and wounded Mr. Van Dyke and his six year old son, James.
The children begged their father to allow them to play in the front yard, "just a little while." He agreed and sat on the steps watching them as they romped about the yard. A few minutes later, the wife of Wells rushed down the street screaming with Wells behind her shooting at random. One shot snuffed out the life of little Joseph, another struck Joseph, Sr., in the head and a third wounded James. The woman went unscathed.
Mr. Van Dyke and James are reported to be in fair condition and the police are looking for Wells.
New Orleans, LA—(ANP) A permanent injunction has been issued by the city to protect the colored longhornmen which prohibits members of that organization from working on the river front.

Cleveland, O.—(ANP)—What will be the most largely attended conversation in the history of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity will take place December 27-31, 1927, in this city where the 20th annual convention convenes according to George P. Hinton, vice-chairman of the local general convention committee.
Nearly sixty brothers here are bending every energy to make the coming convention a success, both from a business and a social standpoint. W. R. Smalls, secretary of the convention committee, reports that the citizens and other fraternities and sororities are cooperating splendidly with the local committee in attempting to entertain the visitors.
Under the leadership of Robert Brooks, local junior delegate to the convention, an "All-Ohio Committee" has been formed consisting of representatives from all the Ohio chapters and Dr. B. A. Rose, of Dayton, national vice-president. That committee is working to bring large delegations from Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, Wilberforce, Athens, and Akron, where chapters of this fraternity exist.

I want to apologize to Bishop A. L. Gaines for my release of three weeks ago, referring to him as "Ai" (Ai). I want to apologize to this submission to this copy by the partial and misleading report of his discourse as it appeared in the columns of the Afro-American. Judging from the start, it was a very difficult task to range under it. no other conclusion was possible. The Afro-American in usually reliable, though often merciless, in its news service. It would be cowardly to hide behind the shield of the Afro-American, and it would cover the writers and speakers. I will say, however, in the meantime, that the report bore all of the semblance of accuracy and stood unquestioned. I have received several publications and derived therefrom the same conclusion as
Upon the appearance of my release, Bishop Gaines wrote me to the effect that he had been appointed to the position, and that the purport and purpose of his sermon was precisely the opposite to what he had interpreted. He was printed in the Afro-American. I therefore requested him to furnish a copy of his sermon, engaging to correct any wrong interpretation which was derived from his fulful perusal of the full discurses might justify. The bishop then sent me a copy of his sermon, reviewing, containing the full text of his sermon in question. After giving this discurses a careful perusal, I printed in the Afro-American furnished no adequate basis for assessment of the bishop on the issue treated. In my judgment, the extracts on my sermon are positive, I can account for this representation only on the supposition that the reporter must have entered the bishop's sermon, and forth his preliminary purpose and left before he had drawn his final conclusion. He instead striking and starting when taken out of their setting. But the good bishop set up these modern bystanders in the setting them. His argument was as reverent and his obsession as an evasion.
Bishop Gaines' note to me made no complaint; he was no demand, not no complaint, but merely pointed out, with Christian forbearance, what he regarded as the necessary in case of misunderstanding between any two men of gentlemanly spirit to up to me. He was weeks ago, as some of the readers will remember, I wrote a release upon Henry Ford's apology 46 years ago, by misguidance, by misjudgment, and by pernicious himself to persecute upon that character. He brought a brightness in making the requisite apology when he learns that he in being a man of gentlemanly spirit no apology can ever make full amends for the wrong inflicted. Both the disclaimers and many who do see the disclaimers by compulsion or prudence came by compilation or conviction Henry Ford's conviction many persons that this disavowal is genuine, rather than con
I have been handling public questions for thirty years through sundry books, pamphlets, and pen; in book and on platform, in book and pamphlet; in magazine and newspaper. I have treated of men and women and their relationship. But I have never before been called upon and never felt obliged to apologize for anything that I ever said or wrote. I have frequently incurred striking disagreement of my own conscience and judgment. I have never incurred the disapproval of my own conscience and judgment. I have worthwhile. I have never been to an organization, and especially an individual, an injustice. I have never been to an organization, and especially an individual, an injustice. If fact or error of appraisement of fact causing injustice to any party, I have been called upon and called upon called to the error. The apology will be forthcoming without the request. But mind you, I must be forthcoming without the request.
All that I said about medical or religious matters, I will present them apart to administer to the spiritual aspirations of these simple-minded people to rehabilitate with double meaning. But I will not be a religious person.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1927
GREEN'S FOLLOWERS FLAY INFORMER
The editor of The Informer is in receipt of a letter from a close friend, written from a Northern center, who opines that this paper's "attack" on Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green of New Orleans, La., "is making friends" for the title head of the Colored Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, etc., and that we should desist in our "fight on Mr. Green and not make a martyr of him."
We appreciate this letter, its contents and sentiments, but neither The Informer nor its editor has attempted to wage a "fight" on Mr. Green or "attack" the supreme chancellor, per se.
Our editorial comments have been actuated by a desire to do battle against a policy which we think will ultimately work to the defrain of the order and the entire Negro race; and, in none of our editors or articles, have we made any personal attacks upon this distinguished Pelican City fraternalist.
However, we might reiterate here for emphasis that no man in public life is above or immune from criticism, and, because this editor differs and disagrees with the supreme chancellor and his supporters in their "sectionalism" issue, does not mean nor indicate that we are personal enemies or at "outs."
Most assuredly, if the chief executive of the United States of America is both the subject and object of criticism and censure by the press of the country, no man in this republic, who essays to serve in a public or quasi-public office, should regard himself as infallible and exempt from the liability of making mistakes. Even the old myth that the "king can do not wrong," (the "divine right of kings" doctrine) has been exposed and exposed.
The charge has even been made and broadcast that The Informer editor is trying to "destroy Mr. Green" and that our original editorial of August 27, 1927, entitled "Raising the issue of Sectionalism," was "defamatory, insulting, unwarranted, vicious, assaultive to our racial cause." Our people certainly do develop a warped method of reasoning and reaching conclusions, and it is this narrow-minded, selfish and bigoted attitude assumed so often by most of our supposed leaders and their devoted followers and adherents, which wreaks unintentionally to our racial cause. Now being bitterly denounced and vehemently excoriated by certain of the Pythian-Green "faithfuls," because this Texas editor did what few Negro Pythians will do, and that is, to publicly disagree with the supreme channel for commending Mr. Green for having the "courage of his convictions" in his anti-South attitude and hostility to the supreme lodge of the order meeting in any city of the "far South" as long as the Negro race is victimized by segregation, jim-crowism, disfranchisement, and other abortions of justice, these same Green devotees, in the next breath, condemn this editor for "conspiracy" in his art and his thinking and print. (Consequently, that art induced a rare, rich and precious jewel!)
The printed word always appears more overmethylated, conviving and convicting than the spoken word; for, long after the spoken word is forgotten, the printed word is still preserved, and, in instances, becomes Hanuco's ghost which can not be downed.
It was perfectly all right for Mr. Green to have certain fixed opinions and express them in a public address, but it is all wrong for the editor of The Informer or any other publication to take opposite attitude and print them in a newspaper! (Let us mind.)
Any editor who dares to pursue such a bold and daring policy, has committed the "unpardonable sin," and is guilty of every offense in the catalogue of crime; being also a fraternal heretic and racial traitor. (Pray mightily, church!)
The Informer is not trying to dethrone the present supreme chancellor, nor has this paper any candidate to bring out against the present titular head of the order; but if either the supreme chancellor or any of his supporters are obsessed with the idea that their fraternal chieftain is above and beyond criticism, then they are "all wet," whatever that bit of slang implies and denotes.
Having been informed that the supreme chancellor was circulating mimeographed letters, which he had received from some of the "brethren," supporting and approving his Chicago speech and tirade against Texas and the South, the editor of The Informer wrote to Mr. Green for a copy of same, offering to publish same in the columns of this paper, and permit the readers to reach their own conclusions; but at hour of going to press the supreme chancellor has not forwarded the requested literature.
However, The Informer has been able to secure copies of these
America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper
Ing them, verbatim (even to punctuation, grammatical errors, etc.), elsewhere in this issue.
Our readers will observe one letter written by Hon. E. B. Barco, grand chancellor of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Massachusetts, who was the guest of the Texas grand lodge last June at Austin.
Mr. Barco will be remembered as the one-arm gentleman who boasting of the fact that he is a native Southerner (hailing from Florida), stated at the Austin meeting that, while he was not anxious to see the Supreme chancellor die, when he end did come, he would not note for W. S. Willis as the next supreme chancellor of the order.
This is the same Mr. Barco who fought side by side with Texans and supreme representatives from other states to bring the 1929 supreme lodge to Texas, which attitude on his part caused a rift in his Bay State delegation.
Our good Br'er Barco was so anxious to run into print and regain the "good graces" of the supreme chancellor, that the poor fellow—despite the fact that he had a copy of our newspaper and had read Mr. Green's open reply and attempted re-jointed the thereto—did not even take time to see the correct name of this paper, and refers to it in his letter as "the Texas Reformer."
Thanks for the name and the task it imposes, Br'er Barco; but for the present we are satisfied with the journalistic role of the name, the telling the people what's what and who's who, of a form of a word, the same proprin and thoroughly believed that they will take care of the "reformers."

CONFERENCE FOR POLITICAL ACTION
In line with a suggestion made several weeks ago by The Informer, a call has been issued for a conference of Negro men and women, which will be held at Lyons Hall, Austin, Texas, Friday, November 25, 10:30 a.m., at which time the political status of the colored voter in Texas will be discussed, and a course of action decided upon for future political and partisan activity in this state.
According to newspaper reports, some of the leading members of the race in this state will attend the conference, and it is expected that a workable, tangible program will be outlined for execution during 1928 and succeeding years.
The Texas Negro is too lethargic, indifferent and apathetic, politically speaking, and something must be done to awaken within the race an interest, intensive and enthusiastic, in matters and issues of a political nature which vitally and directly affect our racial group, the state and social order.
He who loses heart in a contest, contention, battle or fight has already lost his cause; which reminds us that the Holy Writ teaches that the "battle is not to the strong, nor the race to the swift, but to him who endureth unto the end."
As we have often stated in these columns, "a winner never and a quitter never wins, and if the Negro or Texas want to win, they must exercise their martial prowess, they must organize their forces and conduct an intelligent campaign along this line.
So many of our people have been lulled to sleep with the siren song of designing demagogues and wily politicians that "politics is dirty" and that "Negroes should have nothing to do with the world." and that "Negroes should have nothing to do with partisan extinction in this state.
It is now or never, as far as the brother is concerned in Texas, for the acquisition, maintenance and employment of his constitutional and inalienable rights as an American citizen; and the requirement to be a citizen of the United States ciding upon some course of action along this and other lines. The citizens issuing this call have no ax to grind, nor are they seeking any selfish benefits, but they are interested in the race, its welfare and advancement; for they realize that no race or people can make lasting and permanent progress in a democratic society, and therefore they cannot not employ the ballot with telling effect on election days. If the Negroes of Texas want their political emancipation; if they are tired of roaming in the political wilderness; if they deem themselves worthy to enter the political land of Canaan, then they should be willing to spend a little money and a few dollars, counselling and planning for the best interests of the race. Without organization we can do very little along any line, and organization presupposes both a leadership and following; the former selected by our own group and not superimposed upon us by some other racial contingent. We go to Austin on November 25, 1927, and organize our forces for the final and ultimate conquest of the political promised land.
NEGRO STUDENTS' "STRIKING" ATTITUDE
Much has been said and written regarding the tendency of our young people in college nowadays to rebel and revolt against the school authorities, but it appears that the fundamental reason (or one of them) for such outbreaks and "strikes," is the teaching that so many of our young people receive at home, or which they fail to receive at home.
When parental reins are virtually loosened and children are permitted to do in the home as they please, going when they want to and coming when they get good and ready, it should not cause any undue alarm and perturbation when we observe the same outcome. The first and greatest unit of society is the home, this institution even entated the church; and no race, which neglects its home life and permits its children to grow up without any parental restraint, can hope to escape the penalty for its folly along such lines.
Not only the youths of America, but grown-ups as well, need to be taught respect for constituted authority; for when children see their elders and seniors disregarding and trampling under their feet laws which do not meet their approval, it is natural and logical that these youths will follow suit; or at least attempt to caring might what their actions might cause or accomplish.
For every effect there is a cause, whether constructive or destructive; and it appears to the Informer that we need to get at the root of this evil, and remove the cause, or else these outcasts will be forced to store for our race and the social family along this and other lines.
It is true that you can not develop a child's mind, train him to think and then deny him the right to employ his mind along other lines save the text-books and subject matter in our collegiate and scholastic curricula; but this thought must be directed along same lines. We must not allow the mind to be wrought by his desire and endeavor to act at the least impulse, without weighing the matter and giving it the kind of thought and consideration it might deserve.
These school "strikes" are regrettable and deplorable incidents, and, while they tend to show up in a glaring manner upon the side of the race's ledger, it must be borne in mind that people who are exposed to such environments, surroundings and contemporaneous civilization
We hope we have made our position quite clear!

BISHOP GAINES VINDICATED
(BY KELLY MILLER, Howard University, Washington, D. C.)
K
tion that Bishop Gaines, judged from this discourse, belongs to this class. He fervently aws his belief in the virgin birth and in 'all of the essential doctrines set forth in the Apocalypse, the onslaught of science or other of this there can be no doubt on part of any one who will read carefully, and with theurnished key, his able discourse before the recent bishop
There has been a constant warfare between science and religion ever since Mother Eve, by subtlety of the serpent, first snatched the forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. The conflict is inherent in the nature of the two disciplines. Science reveals what religion conceals. The nature of science is to banish mystery; the essence of religion is to bow to mystery. When the Greek explorers went on top of Mount Olympus and found only ice and snow, but no seat for the mythological gods. Greek religion must look for another local habitation in the stars. Copernicus, Newton, Darwin and Einstein have caused all religions to shift their bases. Science wins the battle; religion gains the victory. Though beaten and baffled in its dogmatic interference in the field of proven knowledge, when religion retires to its final stronghold, it hurls back its defiant ultimatum: "Thus far shalt thou come and no further." Science and religion will meet only where two parallel lines meet—at infinity, the ultimate of both science and religion. There they both issue from a common mystery concerning which religion has the first and last word.

I gess it mus be frum de fack dat our grupe has so minny preechers jis lack Lisha. Not so mutch frum de fack dat sum uther feller lets his mantul fall on em es frum de fack dat dey jumps rite out frum twix de plow handuls inter de pulpit whare de congergashun is er heep 2 hi fer em. I doan meen dat Lisha dident make good at his wurk, fer de Bible dun tole us dat God had dun alreddy sunt Lija ter noint him ter preech. An uv cose dat makes awl de diffunc in de wurl.
The fight is now on. Darwin has offered mortal combat to theology and Protestant fundamentalism is making the fatal mistake of trying to fight on his own ground, where it always has been, but owning it invincible. But fundamentalism, as an embodied in the Catholic Church, is also falling back on the eternal mysteries and asserts serenity: "Before Co-Creation, I was am, and I will still be after they and their demonstrated facts have been universally accepted or re-
What I thinks, Gus, is that 2 minny uv our modern day preechers overlooks that part uv de skripchures what tells bout de Lord sendin Lija atter Lisha put down de plow an tuck up his Lisha, an oanly sees dat part whare Bible an wint erbout proffersyin.
I doan no bout Lisha not bein pared ter splain de messidge ter his heerers, fer ef inny man on urth has more time den ernuther ter study an git pared fer mos innything, er sorter wurk, it oughter be de feller what lives on de farm an spins de merjority uv his time by his lone sef. De bes mens dat dis kuntry hav perduced from de stanpint uv interleck, morality an autherwize cum outen de sticks from hine "ole Beck", but dey sho wux mens whut tuck vantidge uv de sollechude in which dey lived ter git sump'n! dere heds whut wood intrust an eddify dere fokes.
In all of the historic warfare between these seemingly antagonistic disciplines, religion has never gained one lot by half-baked theologians trying to interpret their received doctrine in terms of science. The church should stand still and wait for science to prove its pretensions, if it can, and then adjust them in harmony with its mysterious concepts. It has done thus with Copernicus and Newton. It must turn out the same way with Darwin. Even Mr. Bryan used to say that Darwinism is demonstrably true, religion must accept it. Any religion which relinquishes its mystery suggests its power which it can never regain. Let modernism beware.
It is alleged that on one occasion Henry Ward Beecher entered his pulpit on a summer's Sunday, and beaten up with remarks: "It is hot it is i-d is d-od. The astonishment to be inrover, but before they could recover the shock, the resourceless preacher explained that he had heard from profane lips lwips on his way to the morning service. At the outset, Bibhog Gaines set out to explain the reasons for his dels, skepis and agnostics, and to urge the needs of preparation on the part of the minister of today, to show the fundamentals of Christianity." I take it that the reporter, anxious, as beaten up, quoted the modernist views and ascribed them to the bishop.
Now Lisha mought er bin er feller whut dident keep up wid de diffunt isshers; dident evun no.whut de name uv his hi offishuls wuz, but frum de way my teecher at Sundy Skool splained it ter us, he node his onyuns frum A ter Izzurd, an less he wuz wum er dem fellers whut bleeved dat awl he had ter do wuz ter opun his mouf an de Lord wood fill it, den he muster bin spindin dem rainy days w'en he coodent plow an dem long nites in sum hard study.
The Negro church is in a precarious position. Its only possible hope comes from the cultural merits of the traditional creed. The older Christian have no mind or patience with withering with the foundation, and the younger clergy is not sufficiently learned to speak with any convincing authority. Negro is patetically unspiritualized. There is no harmonization between religion and science, which will affect their differentials. That will affect their differentials. Like the Japanese youth, the first emperor of the world will seem the most sorrowful of the religion of their more ignorant and reverent forbears. The only hope lies in the clergy holdout the elders and to develop an atmosphere which is so surcharged with the new issue, with its shallow scientific coneit, towards the eternal mystery where science and religion are
Now mos uv dem plow han preechers whut I cums in contact wid in dis day an time, look lack dey dident hav time on de farm ter do inny studdyin, ner sence deys mooved ter town an got sitty fokes an telligent fokes ter spoke ter, caint fine evun es mutch time es dey foun on de farm. In fack Is heered it hinted by er hole lot er peep pul dat mos uv em slipt outer hine dat mule ter dorge wurk. I doan no wether dey is rite er not, but I kin tell yu wun thing, taint minny uv em dat kills deyse'f wurkin 2 hard tryin ter git sump'n in dere ole noggins atter dey gits in de pulpits.
Lisha had er misshun dat wuz planely set out fo him an tuckin my teecher's wurd fer it (es I aint mutch fermilyier wld dat poshun uv skriphchure) but yu doan fine but er mitey fu uv our modern day elders dat noes but wun part uv dere mishun, an dat part is "Go preech", an dey aint never stop long ernuff ter reed de ballunce uv dat junekshun whut ses "Teech en ter zerve awl things whut s'ever I's tole yu". Well, uv cose er feller kaint be speckted ter teech muttch whut aint lurnt mutch, an ef dey aint bin tote mutch by de Lord ter teech, den de po guy is up ergin it an dere aint nuthin fer him ter do but ter preech. An whut mos uv em calls preechin is jis erbout whut er frin er mine yuseter say, "jis tuck yo tex frum de fus part uv de chapter an holler awl de way down thru de tire chapter".

Between rounds in our Sunday morning battle with Brer La Gripe under our breakfast plate, one from my beloved spouse and the other from my three fine boys, and the sentiments days to my life, for which the writer desires to thank them, are reference of allusion, but any man is fortunate and should be happy when he has the love, esteem and devotion of members. With such remembrances little wonder it is that we at the "court" have our bostic struggle with Battersea and had refused to return to his corner after telling me with a solar plexus the memorable Sunday morning.
