COLORED TEXANS: "PAY YOUR POLL TAX NOW AND HELP ENLARGE THE PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL FUND OF THE LONE STAR STATE." TEACHERS ELECT BANKS PRESIDENT GARY COUNCIL RESCINDS ACTION VOLUME IX TEAC GARI The Mirror By C. F. RICHARDSON MINGLING WITH TEACHERS Accompanied by Mrs. Richardson and Mrs. Lillian Reeves, teacher in Douglas school, the conductor of this column motored to Austin early Thanksgiving morning to attend the forty-third annual session of the Colored Teachers' State Association, which held forth at Ebenezer Baptist Tabernacle last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Reaching the Capital City we were assigned to the palatial home of Rev. and Mrs. R. C. Walker, 1189 Navasota, and Mrs. Walker, our hostess, made our stay one of continuous pleasure and enjoyment. There is a spirit permeating the Walker home which makes a person feel perfectly at home, and, judging from the number of persons who were inmates of this position, the fame of this household is well known throughout North and Central Texas. Rev. Walker, who is pastoring a Methodist church at Fort Worth, spent Turkey Day with his family and friends. Mrs. Walker is a sister of L. L. Lockhart, veteran postoffice carrier of Houston, and she easily ranks as one of the most excellent culinary artists and gracious hostesses it has ever been our good pleasure to meet. In point of attendance, money raised, registration and execution of printed program, to say nothing of the annual address of the president, Prof. T. P. Parrish, was taken up by the various meeting far outstepped any we have attended heretofore. As a matter of fact, on opening day the attendance was so large that it was physically impossible to seat all the teachers and visitors in the spacious auditorium of Ebenezer Tabernacle, perhaps the largest building of its kind in Austin and the meeting place for all colored gatherings held in the Capital City. However, as is lamentably true of most colored conventions and meetings, there was entirely too much socializing, and many of the teachers failed to get much of the helpful information I passed by the famous speakers due to the fact that said teachers were absent from the sessions. One noticeable improvement was very much manifest this year, in that no "wet campaign" conducted by the association. Prof. W. R. B.anks, the founder of the association, Prof. W. R. Banks, and Industrial College, was placed in nomination by that match floor leader and educator of Houston, Prof. W. R. Banks, and many speeches in Auxin we naturally concluded that the "D" undoubtedly stands for educator for like a large gridders. City educator-fraternial was practically in "every play", and covered in association took the high ground that in selecting and electing a president the office should seek the man, rather than the person associated with them. In his annual address, which was not delivered until Saturday morning, the association departed for their several homes), President Pollard discussed the transition to teaching profession, and urged the teachers to adopt and employ more modern methods in training and teaching their charge and keeping. Under the caption of "On the Road from Touya" the City educator contrasted education, aim, method, training, learning, result, equipment, childhood and adjustment, contending that "education is not merely practice but an instrument of life"; that it begins with life and ends with death, and that every child can be trained and developed into instrumentality of life." He advised the teachers to study their pupils and not to follow blindly certain teaching methods that were not effective for years. It was indeed unfortunate and regrettable that more of the teachers are masterly address, which scored teachers who are more interested in social activities than in the training and development. Another departure was made Friday night, when the historical and allegorical page "Progress," pre-1915, was read by author, Mrs. S. H. Fowler of Port Worth, president and founder of the (Continued on Editorial Page) Class Sponsors Home-Coming Day The Men's Bible Class of Artieh Baptist Church will hold its "Home Coming Day" Sunday December 4, at the above named church, at which time every man, who at any time has had his name on the roll of this class, is urgently requested to be present at 9:30 a.m. His class is composed of some of Houston's most prominent men, and has done a commendable work for the community at large since its organization.

If ever we have to make a case for scientific investigation into every aspect of our race, we need to do so now. We truly scientific age. Modern society. Modernized society. lifted man's burdens. A.N.F. MARY B. METHODE lifted man's bur- den, lightened his labors, lengthened human life, increased its joys and made it more worth living. The effect of science on human life is of material things that its spirit has carried over into the social and spiritual world. The spirit of science is pervading our social activities, our economic and political problems, our fine arts, our very religion. The spirit of science is humanizing a human factor in modern life. What is this spirit of science? Experts tell us it embraces primarily three things: (a) Unswerving system of education; (b) Unrestriction of method for the sake of absolute accuracy; (c) Relentless, unrestrained, and uncompromising, in the unstiring program of caneless search for utilitarian purposes; (d) The sequence of these three is a practical application of new discoveries to concrete situations in life for improve- It is the spirit of science that we need to apply to the consideration of factors that affect face facts, plain, unadulterated facts, be they kind or cruel, complimentary, or condemnatory, before we may lay the foundation for permanent progress and improvement. Too long our perseverance, foundation for permanent progress, often hopelessly vague. Too long we have been motivated by our feelings, running the gurnard from dullness to brightness. We have been jumping at conclusions we hoped were valid, and pinning implicit faith on assumptions which our feelings have been based on. We believe ought to be true. The result has been an appalling leakage and misuse of the scientific process. We have progressed, but not as rapidly as we might have because too often, the unscientific method of pro The Fact-Finding and Stock-Taking Conference called for December is the one means of assuring the brain-brain connection of the students are true or untrue, that present methods are profitable or unprofitable, that the students are through orderly procedure, absolute accuracy and unimplicated investigation of facts void of sentiment, wherefore the students are stressed and greatest improvement. I am confident that this essence of the scientific spirit applied to the affairs of the earth, which have appeared among the leading races and nations of the earth which have applied to the achievement through its pursuit. "Ole Miss" Starts "Lily-White" GOP To Defeat Howard Jackson, Miss.—(ANP)—The group of "Anglo-Saxon" Republicans of Mississippi, headed by Geo. L. Shelford of Petitt, former governor of Nebraska, determined movement towards the establishment of a Republican party in Mississippi "not dominated and managed by Negroes," and as the first step towards that goal is seeking to incorporate their organization under the leadership of the "Republican Party of Mississippi." Application for the charter was filed with the secretary of state, Walter Wood, by Shelton and Charles Gordon, Greenville County lawyer, but the organization was general for an opinion which may be deferred. The unexpected delay came as a surprise to the leaders, but they are making plans to go ahead with the organization regardless of the outcome of their efforts to obtain a Sheldon-na issued a call for a general conference to be held in a Jack-Keele organization will be perfected, including setting in motion the machinery for the election of party leaders and the incorporation of the party was approved at the general conference held here last January, when, after a week of deliberation, the party worthy of the name in Mississippi, resolutions were adopted the principles for which the new organization is based on these resolutions were the clauses declaring "that we recognize the fact that the party is the new organization of Mississippi are predominately Anglo-Saxon and that they must hold sacrilege the inheritance to rule and government and be trained through the sacrifices and struggles of their ancestors throughout the centuries of the past. It is therefore that we act as it exists and act accordingly." The white organization, according to reports, will wage a fight against the party. WIFE IS DENIED HUSBAND'S BODY BY COURT ORDER St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP)—An injunction order restraining St. Dix from interfering with the funeral arrangements meets or taking possession of her body in the case of her deceased Elk member, who died here last week, was granted in the court circuit Saturday to Mamie Smith, Frank Hunter, and John W. Hughes, under his death, last October. Dix made, published, and declared his last will and testament which was duly probated before the prostrate court of St. Louis. In the will the testator declared that, and that the same be directed uninterrupted, death should be turned over to John W. Hughes, local undertaker, for burial, and that the same be directed uninterrupted, death should be turned over to John W. Hughes, of which he was past executive ruler. In compliance with said executive ruler, Frank Hunter, the father of Dix, did execute his executive ruler in the will, and the plaintiff, Frank Hunter, the father of Dix, did execute his undertaker Hughes the body of the deceased for the purpose of carrying Wife Had No Legal Rights The next day after Dix's death, his wife, who had not lived with him in six years, fitted a suit in velvet pleated with a white collar and a pose of obtaining possession of her husband's body.

Mrs. Maniie Smith, the named executrix in the wilt was represented by Attorney George Says St. Louis Is Able To Entertain AMEZ Conference St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP).—In an open letter to the membership of the A. M. E. Z. Church of the United States, Rev. H. H. Jackson, pastor, and the trustees of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Z. Church of this city, declared that St. Louis was ready and able to take care of the general conference which is to be held here in May, 1928. This letter was in refutation of past statements, alleged to have been made by certain leaders of the church, following the tornado which struck St. Louis. These statements were to the effect that it would be better to seek another place to hold the conference as St. Louis would not be able to entertain the body. Refuting the arguments of those who had sought to have the conference moved, Dr. Jackson and his colleagues scored those who had tried to interfere with the holding of the conference here. They also pointed out that the new coliseum has been placed under contract for the holding of the conference and that at and on official meeting of the board of trustees of the Metropolitan Church, held Monday night, the board decided unanimously to underwrite the general conference expense to the amount of $50,000.00. In this the board has the support of the Chamber of Commerce and the leading citizens.

SCHUYLER, New York, a cultured Negro and writer of international reputation, who writes the first frank appraisal of the Nordic race in the December issue of the American Mercury (white), national magazine edited by H. L. Mercken, celebrated editor and author, is managing editor of the Messenger, one of the leading social periodicals printed in New York City, and is also contributing editor to the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Co. Houstonians will recall that Mr. Schuyler paid this city a visit during last year and spoke at the annual Y. Club held at the Old Fellowship Temple. Mr. Schuyler, recognized as one of the most brilliant writers of his genius, will be among those who grit and determination can accomplish; for in his youth he did not have the advantages of an educational background and knowledge through travel and reading. For several years he was a soldier in the regular United States Army, and he traveled to one of the infantry outfits. His article in the American Mercury is both interesting and illuminating. He knows the food for thought for both races.

They made Flood Sufferers Facing Bitter Wintry Season Baton Rouge, LA.—(ANP)—With winter hastening on apace, the Red Cross is experiencing plenty of difficulty in coping with the great problem of rehabilitation which faces it in the flood district. While the major portion of the disaster victims have been housed anew, and many have found some temporary employment on the levee repairs and road building, the fact that in most districts it was impossible to make a crop, has left stark destitution staring the survivors in the face. Some sixty thousand are still being fed by the Red Cross. Little can be done toward getting them back to normal living conditions until next spring when planting time comes. The state agents working under the authority of the Colored Flood Commission, headed by Dr. Robert R. Moton, are finding many cases of need and some of definite discrimination. These are at once reported to national headquarters at Washington and thus far, immediate relief has been given in every case reported. Typical of the suffering is the following report from Louisiana of conditions which are being followed by Dr. J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, and Louisiana member of the commission. TRADE MARK AN ASSURANCE OF SATISFACTION Mrs. Annie M. Turnbo-Malone, through her earnest determination to produce the very best Hair and Toilet Preparations possible, has established beyond question, under the trade-name "PORO."

"And some fell upon good ground" The Sower, in the parable, cast his need to the winds of heaven. That which landed among the stones, the thorns and in the barren places, perished. Only the seeds which reached the good ground had a chance to grow. The modern advertiser does not strew his seed of salesmanship to the winds. He plants it carefully in the "good ground"—in the places where because of favorable conditions it has a chance to bear a harvest of consumer results. He uses newspaper advertising because through the newspaper he covers completely the markets which he knows, upon careful investigation, to be right places for his product to flourish. PAGE SIX Flood Suffered Bitter W Baton Rouge, La.—(ANP)—the Red Cross is experiencing the great problem of rehabilitation district. While the large port been housed anew, and many playment on the levee repairs as most districts it was impossible destining starship the survive Some sixty thousand are still can be done toward gettin' ditions again until next spring state agents working under the Commission, headed by Dr. Rol cases of need and some of define once reported to national head far, immediate relief has been Typical of the suffering is the of conditions which are being fident of Southern University, an mission. Negro sufferers in the Richland parish have been the victims of gross discrimination and injustices in the matter of issuing food and clothing, and, according to several leaders, including Rev. A. T. White, Rayville, Rev. E. G. Howard, Girard, and Rev. J. Newman, Monroe, apparently no plans are on foot to care for these victims during the winter. In many cases food and clothing were sent to the people by the Red Cross out the people did not receive them. The reports from these leaders are substantiated by those of the victims themselves. John Jackson, living on J. V. England's plantation, reports that he and his family have received rations only twice since the flood disaster, and what he did receive were "the leavings" after the white people had got what they wanted. Alexander McNeal, who has a family of six and who lives on the same plantation, verified this report. His case is even more pathetic than that of Jackson, as both he and Mrs. McNeal are sick and their children were found to be in dire want of food and clothing. Claffin Miller, tenant on S. H. Hembler's place, declared that the Red Cross furnished him, but Hembler still TRADE charges him for provisions and further charges that other tenants are forced to do likewise. T. J. Bass, tenant on the Charley Tight plantation, reports that Joe Carbuck, white planter, gets seed, food, and other supplies from the Red Cross in the name of his tenants, but fails to distribute them to these people. This report was verified by Sam Banks, who has a family of seven and lives on Carbuck's place. Banks further stated that he had only received seven pounds of meat during the relief period. Many of the families are absolutely destitute, Mrs. Cornelia Green with a family of eight, and Harvey Gilbert with fourteen, living on Harry Halbert's plantation are of this category, and charge the landlord with depriving them of supplies the Red Cross has sent them. Hundreds of cases could be cited depicting the deplorable conditions existing and the manner in which Negroes are being treated by the white planters, throughout the state. Disease, too, is working hardships on the people and it is the opinion of leaders in this section that unless something is done to remedy conditions, the toll of winter will surmount that of the flood. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1927 Books by Negroes were on display, as were newspapers and magazines that were published. It was, it just was, what the name implied, "The Negro in Art Week."

The Elements of Night Living. TOPIC-E The Elements of Night Living. 1. Israel, the Fearful Nation (v. 1-7). 2. We unique relation to God is presented under the figure of a vine. Observe: 1. God's peculiar flavor (vv. 1, 2). God did for this nation what He did for the Israelites. He did for the world. He evidenced it when He assigned the boundaries of Israel's inheritance (see Num. 34:133) when the Cannabens were exterminated. The choicest vine which was planted therein was the Israeli national vine. The primary process in Egyptian bondage. He built a tower in it when under David Jerusalem was its capital city. The obigation of the nation (v. 2). The purpose of a vineyard is to bear fruit. The husbandman in a vineyard is the purpose it is that it might bear fruit. The purpose of God in the selection and the blessing of the Israeli nation might bring fruit to His glory. 1. It bore only wild grapes (v. 4). 2. The desolation of the vineyard (v. 4). Since all efforts had been wasted, the owner of the vineyard now resolves to abandon it to the wilderness. II. The Sins Which Brought Rain to the Nation (v. 8-23). The canyon construction are restricted under six woes, each woe pronounced against a particular sin. I. Monopoly and oppression of the poor (v. 8-10). Against which the first woe was denounced is that of the avirulent grasping after property which leads to the accumulation of money. II. The house to house and "injining to field" means the sin of the greedy monopolist who in the agricultural sector is forced to grabber, in the commercial centers, the form of the big men crossing on the small ones. III. (v. 11-17). The sin here denounced is drunkenness. Several features are connected with this sin made the life business of some (v. 11). They get up early and continue until late at night, until their whole business is made the life business of some (v. 11). The effort to give their bellion business a show of refinement (v. 12). This is why pleasing music is heard pouring forth from the dens of innermost (3) Blindness to God's warnings and judgments (v. 12). (4) Dissipation and dissipation rendered them insensitive to the dealings of Providence. (4) God's judgments for such an instance. They went into captivity. The immediate cause assigned is ignorance. They were not responsible for the deaths they are held responsible. They not only go into captivity, but there is great mortality among those who were held captive. They show a much higher death rate among drinking men. Drinking degrades all classes (v. 10). The country is not immune to the moral condemnation. So doaring they become that they defy the judgments of the Almighty. 3. Moral condiction (v. 20). This woe is pronounced against those who try to adjust moral conditions to the general appetites. 4. Concet (v. 21). The fifth woe is pronounced against the sin of self-conceit. Many today are unable to make moral discriminations. Having a false estimate of their ability to make moral decisions and act without reference to God. 5. Perseverance (wv. 22, 23). The sixth woe is denounced against those who are in places of justice as judges. Because of their lack of justice, judges are denied because of desire for temporal gain they cause justice to miscarry. Treatment of Sin Use she or it will use you.

C. A. Hughes, director of the Bureau of Negro Work of the Home Mission and Church Extensión of the Methodist Episcopal Church in an address before the annual meeting of the board here Friday. Dr. Hughes pointed out that "through the generosity of several philanthropies, the Negro rural school is being constantly improved and it is noteworthy that national and state agencies are more mindful of the needs of children in rural life than ever before in our history. Negro schools in the South are now averaging six month terms and nearly every Southern state requires teachers to do some work in summer normals." "We are painfully aware," continued the churchman, "that the Negro church and the Negro preacher are not keeping up. A lack of program, holding hard to old met, odds of playing to the whims of the highly emotional, e.g., and being unmindful of the growing intelligence of the younger people, is resulting disastrously to many of our churches." That the M. E. Church was endeavoring to remedy these conditions was the work in this direction. He said, "Our summer schools for the training of teachers will standing feature of our work for the last ten years. During this period we have granted nearly four hundred students to our communities.

HARLEM COPPER 'FIRED' PENDING ASSAULT TRIAL New York City—(ANP)—Playing the role of the peacemaker at a party caused Officer Sanford Johnson to be striped of his shield and held on a stretcher. He was taken to the peacemaker's role that caused the officer so much trouble, but in doing so he was able to arm and he is charged with felonious assault.

Foster DENTIST Sundays by Appointment Office 2711 Odin Avenue—Washington Theatre Building HOUSTON, TEXAS New York City.—Writing in the December number of the Forum Magazine, George Fort Milton, a white Southerner, tells how the Negro has been “legally” disfranchised in the Southern states. Mr. Milton states: “It is true that the Southern states succeeded in limiting the effectiveness of Negro suffrage. This one purpose underlies all the suffrage laws adopted by the several Southern states. By hedging the voting privilege with conditions and qualifications which force the citizen who wishes to vote to undertake affirmative steps involving considerable trouble, attention to detail, and a certain minimum of intelligence, their primary object has been attained. Legally, the Negro is not debarred from voting; practically, however, he is debarred very effectively, not as a race but, for the most part, as a class, which, in common with certain whites, cannot meet the requirements imposed.” Mr. Milton reports that letters he has received from leaders in several Southern states indicate a "new Southern attitude" towards the Negro vote. His own attitude he states as follows: "Many Southernmen like myself favor a greater exercise of the franchise than the traditional belief that he would be a greater asset if he were trained for political, judicial, and economic whites. But I confess freely that the voting Negroes in cities which have been debauched by hitherto served merely as tools for debauching elections, and maintaining the status quo," but "There are hopeful features in this situation.

NO MAN IS ENTITLED TO MORE AND NO MAN SHOULD RECEIVE LESS...HOOSEWELL. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1927 GARY NEGROES WINNING FIGHT! Judging from the attitude assumed by the mayor and city council of Gary, Indiana, which body voted $15,000 several weeks ago for a temporary building for the colored children who were the storm center and cause of the "strike" by the white children of the Emerson High School in the Steel City, it begins to appear that the Negroes of that city have achieved a notable victory. Dr. Sutton E. Griggs, the noted author, orator and philosopher of the Civil War, was the principal speaker in the senate chamber Thursday night, enraging the senate's Task of the Negro Speaker." The speaker asserted that civilization is in the hands of the people; that the thought-life of an individual, race or nation determines When the city council, over the protests of the three Negro councilmen and a delegation of tax-paying citizens, rushed through a resolution providing for the erection of a temporary structure for housing these few colored students until a temporary building was erected for occupancy, and appropriating the sum of $15,000 for this purpose, a group of colored citizens employed legal counsel and prayed the court for an injunction to halt the expenditure of this sum of the tax-payers' money, citing attention to the fact that such appropriation was illegal, unwarranted and unjustified. The city council, in right to spend the tax-payers' money in such a reckless and uncalled for manner. Uptown a change of venue, the judge in another Indiana county granted the colored plaintiffs a temporary injunction, restraining the mayor and city council of Gary from spending the sum voted or any sum for the erection of a temporary building for colored The conductor of this column served as chairman of the executive committee of the association, having been appointed by the late summer. This committee went on record as favoring the passage of a bill by the Texas legislature awarding a pension to all disabled persons in the educational service in the educational field. The court also set a date when the mayor and city councilmen were summoned to appear before that body and show cause why the temporary restraining order should not be made permanent, and now newspaper reports state that the mayor and city aldermen have decided to not fight the case, and a resolution has already passed two readings by the city councilmen restraining the mayor from the unnecessary expenditure of $1,000 for a make-shift school building for the aforementioned colored high school children. In the meantime, according to newspaper dispatches, these colored students have never abstained themselves from Emerson High School, and the "striking" white children returned to their studies along with their colored school and classmates, and no additional hostile demonstrations have been staged by these students. Just what attitude these white students and their parents will take, in the event the city council decides to rescind its former action in providing and erecting a temporary building for a handful of colored students, remains to be seen; but The Informer is of the opinion that, since sentiment is undergoing a radical change in several Northern centers where appreciable numbers of our people are present, the evidence of what is in store for colored citizens in some of the Northern and Eastern cities and communities. The Gary Negroes are to be compelled for legal procedure to ascertain if they have any civil rights left; and whether race prejudice, religious intolerance and bigotry and class distinctions can defeat the ends of justice, rob and divest American citizens of their constitutional and inalienable rights and pre- This conference assumed the attitude that the Negroes of Texas should be given the power to fund the state by paying their poll before midnight of January 31, 1928, longer school terms, better salaries for teachers and more modern and advanced urban and rural. The conference will state a statement along these lines: Once more the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the most militant civil rights organization extant, enters the legal fray, and assisted the colorless blacks in their struggle for freedom, hopelessly lost; thereby justifying its existence and proving even to skeptics that there is power and strength in organized effort and concerted action. Finally, they crown the efforts of the Negroes of Gary in this fight, it is hoped that the result will have far-reaching and sobering effect upon other cities which might contemplate such undemocratic and un-American procedure; for reduced to this effect, the Negroes of Gary will be a monument of the people, for the people and by the people. Selah! With "race consciousness, racial independence, high ideals and character building," as the associated theme, the college offered the official programs of this body were not printed in a colored printing machine or secured in a secondary secretary. Prof. John W. Reedier of the Dallas Express and English teacher in the Booker T. Washburn school, were each equipped with one of the best equipped printing plants in the entire Southwest. In this connection, we observed that the students' sources that very little of the associational printing was done in Negro print shops—a very unfavorable attitude. AUSTIN CONFERENCE TAKES ACTION! The statewide conference of Negro leaders, held at Austin Friday of last week, did not assume any political or partisan aspect, but the conferences, gathered from all sections of Texas and reprecented the state's history of civil rights and the Star State commonwealth, engaged and indulged in a free and frank discussion concerning the failure of so many of our people to shoulder the full responsibilities of citizenship; and it was definitely decided that the first step towards qualifying as full-blooded Negro men was to be levied upon every able-bodied man and woman in this state. It is rather strange and peculiar how some of our race leaders practice the use of the word antagonist to the one and preach so blatantly and vocefully. We are always talking about make-up, and we are always talking about whenever we get a chance to execute our doctrine, we go aww every time, or at least too much so for the good of the students. We are plausible nor rational excuse or reason why the Colored Teachers' State Association found it necessary and appropriate to grant an opportunity to at least bid on printing their official proclamation, and Negro printer an opportunity to at least bid on printing their official proclamation, and Negro printer an opportunity to that the new administration will adopt a policy along this line which will not reflect such disdain. This conference took the position that, since the public educational fund of the state derives considerable money from the poll tax payments, and since Texas is doing so much for Negro education and is inclined to do more with larger funds for this purpose, it is better to invest in private schools, whether in the religious or fraternal circle, can consistently advocate and endorse a campaign of this nature. Ordinarily, when reference is made to the payment of the poll tax, the first thing that enters the mind of the average person is qualifying for exercising the elective franchise rights—political. If more of the colored residents of Texas were advised that part of the money derived from the payment of poll tax goes towards the free education of the colored and white children of this state, The Informer is of the opinion that a larger number of our people are not educated and that the statewide campaign is. It was suggested that a statewide campaign be launched and conducted from now until January 31, 1928, urging and impressing upon the colored citizens of Texas the necessity and importance of paying their poll tax, and thereby enlarging the available fund for the operation and maintenance of the public schools of Saturday afternoon we motored to Antelope, where we spent Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Thomas, our brother-in-law and sister-in-law. We were in the city, our stay was a pleasant and easyable place, left in the evening for Horseshoe long home as the "shadows of the evening began to steal across the To this end every patriotic citizen of color is called upon to lend a voice and hand in broadcasting this message and appeal to all sections of this state, and it is confidently expected that the Negroes of Texas, having been enlightened and informed concerning the disposition of the money accruing from the tax pay obligations, are showing in thus fulfilling their obligations along this line. Motorists often encounter some queer pranks of nature, and we had a similar experience Sunday evening.

Not only that, but we cannot but recall a similar instance where we beheld so much femininity of masculinity. They had swarmed into the Capital City from all directions, coming from tail and arm, and we could not see the marred an otherwise beautiful scene was a prolonged and unnecessary struggle in testing football aggregations. Our college and high school heads, coaches and players should bear in mind that contested teams fight it out on the gridiron and not to engage in useless and often senseless arguments about the game. There is no race on this mundane shore which can exhibit the beauty and combination of great fashion and occasion of great beauty and occasions as these should make every black man and woman feel proud that they are a part of such a wonderful, natural endowments; and when we employ more women, we can make more structive lines, like the victorious eleven on the gridiron, no earthly more beautiful than a march to a touchdown and ultimate victory.
