ONLY WEEKLY NEWSPAPER IN HOUSTON WITH ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS SERVICE. ARTICLES BY DR. KELLY MILLER AND DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS INDICT NEW ORLEANS FIEND Negroes Lose Ballot Case 5 PRICE CENTS VOLUME X THE MIRROR By C. F. RICHARDSON BISHOP HARTZELL, HERO WET CENTERS BACK SMITH WHITE BAPTISTS SHORTAGE The recent death of the Right Reverend Joseph G. Hartzell, retired bishop of the Episcopal Hospital of North Carolina, his archbishop and ecclesiastical career to his black brother, both at home and abroad, removes from life's challenges his outstanding Christian here and martyr. On the date of his eighty-seventh birthday, Bishop Hartzell was at attack on two white robbers, who entered the house under the guise of desiring to obtain an automobile fire truck. After these two men had been advenues to the church's residence, they cut the telephone wires, bound the church securely with wire, robbed the church, and murdered them, when they were unable to locate any more money on the premises. The terrorist attack upon the aged minister, which occurred June 1, these Nordic robbers fled and have not been apprehended. The aged prelate remained bedridden until his death last week, and the news of his passing, while hourly expected, was a shock to the religious world in general and the Negro race in particular; for the race never had a truer friend than the late bishop. Bishop Hartnell's work in Africa, the field he songt when elevated to the bishopric, is best known by his efforts on the 33,000-acre plot of land tendered him by the late Cecil Rhodes, where the American prelate was a member of the American Church, a teaching program that he was often referred to as the "David Livingstone of the Methodist Episcopal Church." He was, undoubtedly, the leading exponent of American missionary effort in the land of our forefaced nation. His work was all aimed to the African field, for he was largely instrumental in the founding of Maharmy Medical College at Nanville, Tenn., which has graduated more than 3,000 physicians, surgeons, dentists, pharmacists and nurses, and today ranks as the leading Negro medical college in the state of the Southern Educational Society, Bishop Hartnell had charge of forty-six educational institutions, extending from the Potomac to Rio Grande rivers, and his named has been stamped indelible upon the hearts of men and saints of time by his unselfish deeds and humiliation. When, in our exasperation over the repeated attempts of some white people to give us what we consider a raw and dirty deal, we arrive at the conclusion that there are no good white people—that the only good ones are dead—let us rest till the history of the�int, Hartnell and other his own and martyrs of the white race who have given and are still giving their lives for the uplift, betterment and advancement of our racial group. To such unassisted Christine, the Negra race even a debt of prefrequent gratitude, for many of them came to the United States when genuine friends were few and actual and potential foes were many. It is to be hoped that life had been so full of good deeds should be hastened to his death by the violence of thugs, robbers, and thieves where thieves do not break through and steal, neither doth mors nust corrupt. . . . That Governor Alfred E. Smith, receiving the backing and support of the liquor interests, is shown by the financial contributions to its campgrounds. Of the 287 contributions made to the Democratic national headquarters, the urban centers of the East; New York City leading with 155 contributors; and 14 of these contributors, to date, below the Mason and Dixon line, again revealing Smith is developing more time to the "Negro issue" than in raising money for the governor, and the determinative states of the country.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 15, 1928 Nordic Attacker Will Go To Trial For Raping Maid New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—John C. Carey, a white night-watchman, who is alleged to have raped, on August 7, 12-year-old colored girl, was indicted for rape by the Orleans Parish grand jury last week. The same grand jury has returned an indictment of murder against Sam Zion, a young white man, who, on July 17, is alleged to have shot and killed Miss Ada Ellen Jones, a young colored girl, age 17, when, it is claimed, that just for the fun of the thing, Zion fired into a group returning from a party. The crime charged against Carey has been pronounced a most reprehensible one. From witnesses it is learned that the victim, accompanied by a friend, Dolores Bolds, age 11, went into a grocery to make a purchase. Carey and another white man, seeing the girls alone, left in advance of them and held in some talling place, was killed. The victim, who had been killed in it, is alleged, at the point of a pistol threatened to shoot them if they made any outcry. The Bolds girl states that she was forced to witness the ravishing of her friend. Thomas Epps, colored, from a disdain for the local branch of the National Association witnessed the accosting of the警员, while police were being summoned. While police were being summoned, the timely arrival of the police prevented the crime. When a警员 was called, the police were called and the police were called, and was captured in his shackle where he serves as a watchman for the police. The police were also arrested in the murder of Miss Jones aroused the public to an intense degree. She was killed in the police, while the police were accused of the murder of her daughter peacefully along, when Zion approached in an automobile and deceived her. The police were called to the警员, and she was killed, and speed away. Zion had been told by a crowd of young white hoodluxes that they had been "chased and that he fired at the first colored girl, who was killed in the case against both Carey and Zion, and the district attorney, the警员, was accused of the crime. Nezro Improvement Association, the EAST TEXAS CITY PUSHES AHEAD TO BETTER DIXIE ERA Jacksonville, Texas—Three inter­ estring illustrations of inter­ racial good will and cooperation have recently occurred in this city, the story of which is passed on by way of suggestion and encouragement to the students.

Roanoke, Va.—(A N P)—Smarting under the treatment accorded them by Democrats in various parts of the state during the recent primaries, Negro citizens of this commonwealth are planning a wholesale support of the Republican ticket in the forthcoming election and thereby avenge the humiliations which they suffered at the hands of the Democrats. Leaders of the group in every section of the state have recalled to the minds of those eligible to vote, the treatment received by colored registrants during the April primaries in Richmond and are urging every Negro who is qualified to register and vote in the national election.

By C. F. RICHARDSON Editor F. The Houston Informer With the largest colored population of any city in Texas—variously estimated from 55,000 to 60,000—"Heavenly Houston" can rightfully boast of an intelligent, thrifty, substantial, astounding, law-alooding and patriotic a group of colored citizens as can any other city, about regard to geographical lines or location. This is as it should be. the progress of the community are indisolubly linked and intertwined with the black race; that is an accepted fact that no community, manically, above its lowest member In the face of such unhealthy and unavailory living conditions the death alarmingly high, and the city government and public-spirited ones themselves to the holden task of rectifying and remedying these conditions as a no other motive. The city has no other motive. *Independence Park*, located at locality Bancroft, Elm Third, Ward, which the colored citizens of the city turned over to the city during the Campbell administration, is the only town where the municipal management and control, the city has done very little towards, beautifying and improving the city. A recent survey of colored business enterprises in twenty Southern cities indicates that the National Negro Business League of Houston is president, reveals that Houston tops the list with business concerns owned and operated by black business owners. Professionally, colored Houston has twenty-two physicians, fourteen dentists, four surgeons and four lawyers. These professionals are graduates and post-graduates of the university of the country, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Pomona, St. Louis, and Memphis, and McHarry, Pennsylvania, Fisk, Bishop, Wiley, Prairie View and other institutions of learning. More colorized cities own or are acquiring businesses in Houston than in any other city, further estimated that Houston's colored population has approximately $7,000,000 deposited with local banks The religious or church life of colored Houstonians has been given the most prominent place on the racial program, resulting in about 116 churches of various denominations. Frankly and candidly, the writer holds to the opinion that "colored Houston" is top-heavy with churches. The leading churches of the city are: Antioch Baptist, Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor; St. John Baptist (Dowling), Rev. S. A. Pleasant, pastor; Bethel Baptist, Rev. J. R. Burdette, pastor; Trinity Methodist Episcopal, Rev. J. H. Lovell, pastor; Wesley Memorial African Methodist, Rev. J. B. Butler, pastor; Bebee Tabernacle Colored Methodist Episcopal, Rev. L. G. Porter, pastor; Mt. Corinth Baptist, Rev. A. Hubbard, pastor; Brown's Chapel African Methodist Episcopal, Rev. L. J. Sanders, pastor; St. Nicholas Catholic, Father Carl Schappert (white), pastor; Gregg Street Presbyterian, Rev. J. H. M. Boyce, pastor, and other smaller churches of many and sundry denominations. The residential sections inhabited by colored citizens, which, during the last two or three years, have received considerable civic consideration and physical improvement, are still lacking (many of them) in the permanent type of improvements so as to assess the utility of the cultural and aesthetic welfare of the community. Rent houses are built in such close proximity to each other that one can stand in one house and hear the inmate in the adjacent house change his mind. This is both literally and figuratively true: If the city of Houston has an ordinance on its statute books, regulations and prohibitions that method building houses for tenants, the law is neither invoked nor enforced when it comes to rent houses for colored citizens, Surface privies are still ubiquitous in many sections occupied by colored residents, while drainage is extremely bad in most of these colores, sections, with cess-pools and ponds of a gramineous water which seldom dry up between rains. Street lights are few and far between, and the resultant darkness obtaining in these colored neighborhoods becomes a potential and actual incubator of crime and criminals; for the Holy Writ is true when it proclaims the doctrine that evil-doers prefer darkness to light. These districts are the little and local protection, and it is become increasingly difficult for colored Houstonans to get much fire insurance.

SILVERWARE USED AT FORMAL DINNER BY ELITE SOCIETY VL - The Formal Dinner It was the late King Edward of England who first insisted that bovine dishes be of formal form, for the dinner table was always just all that—one hour.

Salt and pepper shakers—one set for two and the other known on the table. Then the individual covers are laid. A silver service cover is used for the other knives and spoons, with the exception of the butter knife (if butter is to be used). A silver butter knife and spoons, with the exception of the other silver on the silver bread and butter plate, placed well forward on the other silver on the silver bread and spoon, is the silver goblet, or group of goblets as the occasion may require. No more than three goblets can be laid with the cover. Others can be brought in with later courses as needed.

School nurse says all girls should know this TALKING to a roomful of high school girls on personal hygiene, an experienced district nurse said: "One of the basic rules of health for girls is to keep the system functioning naturally at all times. Normal exercise and diet habits should be encouraged. But when necessary there's no harm in taking nujol, since it works mechanically and can't disturb the normal functions of any organ of the body. Particularly with girls, there are times when nujol should always be taken. Take a spoonful every night for a few days. It is a thoroughly safe and harmless method. It won't cause distress or gas pains or ripping." Nujol is different from any other substance. It contains no drugs or medicine. It can be taken safely no matter how you are feeling because it is so pure and harmless, and works so easily. Every woman should keep a bottle on hand. Every drugist has this remarkable substance.

COLORED PRESS LAUDS LEADERS IN GOP EFFORT COLORED PRESS LAUDS LEADERS IN GOP EFFORT Washington, D. C.-Heralding a new day in political opportunity and leadership for the Negro, editors of various racial weeklies have commissioned a new book on the Negro, the personnel selected to direct the Republican campaign among colored voters. Pointing out that business, diversity, and other important interests, as well as those purely political, comprise the Colored National Congress, the Republican national campaign committee this year, the belief is advanced by num-ber of candidates. The belief is conducted upon a high plane and give an opportunity for self-expression to every phase of Life within "it is a splendid augury for the political war of our group, says Carl Kirk, Jr. Hulbert, a Democrat, sees men and women of the highest repute and of the most unseafish California. Hulbert, who has successes in themselves and not dependent upon the promised loaves and fishes, entering actively into politics, compares the colored division to direct the Hover-Curtis forces among colored voters well advised. No group of Negro would have been so successful that they would have more heartily met the approval of the race in general with the party affiliations than t h e a amoun- tured person of the personnel of the division. Con- public column in the national elec- tive state committee is composed of some business, professional and religious life of the state, and has the support of the committee. The committee is headed by Dr. T. C. Kirk, the executive director, and secretary, Dr. W. T. Merchant, treasurer; I. Willis Cole, director of publicity; Rev. W. Wells Broadad, the president of Miss Violet Smith, the official stenographer, with the following leaders: Bond, Dr. Robert T. Oliver, Reva H. W. Jones, H. C. Weeden, William Bord, Dr. Robert T.

Men and Women of Success Chairman John R. Hawkins of Washington, is a highly successful business man and an eminent churchcareer, who has made market success in the product of his personal affairs. One of our wealthiest men, his character is unimpeachable and it is impossible to think of Mr. Hawkins becoming actuated by other than the men who are left with money. Secretly, the Albin L. Holsey is virtually unknown in politics, but as secretary of Tuskegee Institute and secretary of the Albin Regro Business League he is known as the of the most devout race interest. “Not in the past thirty years has the Republican party presented a more formidable organization for a periodic event among the民主党. He has made the position voters of the United States and the race of electing Hoover and Curtis. Whatever the race may think of the party as whole, it certifies the responses profound confidence in the race appeal before it places the party appeal before it.” “Whoever selected the committee to have charge of the campaign,” follows up the East Tennessee News, which will be called the "National Party," they named Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, and others whose leadership is acceptable to the racial group. The selection of men has been made to such a number of the committee, as the interest of the entire group will be served rather than an exhibition of selfishness on the part of a few others who are the type of group men who have been selected will place the support of anti-lynching bills and discriminatory rules and measures far above holding a berth of the industry. The government or serving the patronage referee in some Southern state. Working Without Pay "The Republican party should feel highly honored to have such representative folk response its cause," he said in Minneapolis; while the New York News comments: "We're like it in the public national committee on his selection of the colored Hover campaign leaders. It is a recognition of the public politics. It is yielding to the spirit of the present generation of colored citizens, interested in their cause and the cause of their country." "According to an Associated Negro Press release," the Philadelphia Negro press wrote, "the executive committee of the colored group working for Hoover and the organization is drawing a cent of salary. They are organizing an organization are donating their services, playing the game in the same organization as the big leaders of the other group." "This is high ground for a Negro campaign committee to stand on," he said. "They are surrendering it from its exalted position, great will be its reward when it succeeds. And the smoke of battle cleared away. Apparently this is the dawn of a new era of Negro campaign indication that they mean to serve so that the Negro may rightly claim his just share of credit and his propensity to represent the Republican party." "The New York Age says in closing," he added, "the campaign directors of the class and the organization presented, the issues of the campaign should be carried direct to the voters, into the direction of the campaign, of politics have been retained, either in an active or advisory capacity, to the organization and wisdom in the ways of getting the ballots safely garnered in the understanding. It will be noted that in addition to the new blood in the organization, the campaign of politics have been retained, either in an active or advisory capacity, to the organization and wisdom in the ways of getting the ballots safely garnered in the understanding. It will be noted that in the campaign among Negro voters appears to have started off on the right footing. These voters are sentiment in the conduct of the campaign. They are no longer to be treated as children, but are to be rewarded with an important factor in party success."

In the civilization of the ancient world, slavery or serfdom was an economic necessity. The only source of power, except for a limited use of wind and water mills, was human or animal. Today, man's hands have been freed from the bondage of labor by mechanical devices which permit him to live by mind rather than muscle. The American workman is the most prosperous on earth because each worker has available for the operation of these mechanical devices an average of four horsepower—or forty manpower. Having won economic stability through the medium of cheap and abundant power, the American home has emerged from the struggle for subsistence to a new struggle for living.

Concerning Contention in the Church (110-123). I Exhortation (v. 10). "That we should not think anything." In view of the fact that he beought them in the name of Jesus Christ, the one thing which he desired them to do was to be the Lord's Loyal servant of the Lord stands for all that the Lord is and does. "That there be no divisions among you," that is, no fear of the Lord, and that he be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. The reason for this exhortation. (v. 11). Word and been brought to Paul by members of the household of Chloe and Paul Fleisch, the members of the Corinthian church. He assured them that he had suffered and that sacrifice which was coded among them. **8. Nature of the contentions (v. 12).** Their disputes were about their teachers. Their interests were conceived by Paul, some were for Paul, others were for Paul, perhaps attracted by his logic; some were for Apolonia, doubtless by his attiring to the truth. Doubts these were Jewish converts who looked to Peter as their authority. There were still others who regarded Peter as their authority, repudiating all human teachers. **4. The grounds of allegiance to Christ (v. 13).** The church of the whole church. The unifying power of the body is the head. He raised the question, "Is Christ divided?" The mere ruling of the church over the whole church is *2* Redemption accomplished. By his atoning death He has supreme Lordship over all. *2* Negligence. He acknowledged that all we baptized into one body (I Cor. 12:13). Concerning Christian Ministers (2:1-14) Since the dissensions in the church gathered around the ministers, Paul taught the ministerial office in its true light. To conceive of ministers as teachers, the ministerial office needs to divisions. Divisions in the church occur when men are occupied with the messenger rather than with the minister. This case is to get a right conception and proper estimate of human teachers. 1. Servants or God (v. 5, 6). They are instruments in His hands for the execution of His will. They need a message to do a definite work. 2. Ministers are equal in rank (v. 6). They are called by the same spirit to teach the same truth, and therefore stand in the same relationship with the minister. There has no foundation in the Scriptures 3. Every minister must give an act of charity. If he lay other foundation than Christ he is not a Christian minister at all. If he build sound doctrine on the foundation he will receive a relic of his faith. If the true foundation he will suffer loss and receive punishment. Sorrow and anguish will be to him who builds good works. And likewise to him who builds poor material upon a right foundation, Human wisdom has no place in the work of builders, the church of God. 4. Ministers are the property of the church (vv. 22, 23). Funeration is that the church is owned by the ministers. Ministers should be followed only as far as they follow Christ. 5. Ministers are God's stewards (vv. 24, 25). Their business is to dispense his truth. They do not originate the message. God demands dignity on their hearts and with them as to their faithfulness. Proof of a Divine Reality The best proof of a divine reality at work is the growth, the desire for perfection, that makes itself felt in all who are sensitive to the possibilities of spiritual growth.

Atwell, the Texas author, has arrived to vigorously protest the large Negro population living in that city by advising an Italian woman who she should not live among Negroes. To strengthen their attack upon judge, the offence people like him make against the district against her attorney for calling upon the jury to disbelieve the judge conduced the defendant to obtain another lawyer and told the informant that such a speech against prohibition agents, if given in Texas, would have resulted in the conviction of the prohibition agents. The judge's words are given an added force from the fact that the judge avoided punishment for their violations of the law by recourse to the federal court. His conduct as a trial judge that will possibly give judge Abellw a permanent place in judicial proceedings of the equality of races, which is guaranteed in the constitution. The judge's advice to the Italian court, was diametrically opposed to the principles contained in the 14th amendments to the constitution. Significant as it would be for any federal apportionment of the 14th Amendment to the United States constitution, in the case of Judge Adele B. Johnson, by the fact that his appointment to sit in a New York court was made under the circuit judge in Texas and the circuit judge of New York. The opponents of Judge Adele B. Johnson whether they agreed upon the appointment of Judge Adele B. Johnson with the 14th Amendment to the federal institution. Or do they hold the same views? The state Negress of New York has presented the case to Chief Justice Taft, who approved the selection. Whether his action may be to not likely that the subject will be dropped. The impetachment of Judge Adele B. Johnson for office may be required to take sides. A new issue may be projected the erasing of the Civil War amendments to the constitution has so slowly, and perhaps, so carefully, as to avoid any explosive reaction. To avoid any explosive reaction, the marks of the Texas judge is the familiar surroundings of a Brooklyn force the subject of the civilization of the 14th Amendment into the open.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1928 SMITH YIELDS TO "SOLID SOUTH!" In a recent issue of The Informer, there appeared a news item to the effect that the Democratic national committee had opened "jim-crow" headquarters in New York City for the colored adherents of the party and supporter of a Boston Negro Democrat had been placed in charge of the colored bureau, and that a distinguished Gotham Democrat of color would be the titular leader of the national Democratic movement, to curral black voters for their presidential ticket. Now the story has leaked into that Governor Smith, who wanted the post for his colored friend and Senator Q. Morton, of the Southern states, and recognized leader of "black Tammany Hall." has yielded to the advice of party leaders from the "solid South," who objected to a Negro serving as director of the Smith-Robinson campaign among colored Americans. As a result of these Southerners' bitter protest and Governor Smith's cowardly acquiescence, the Democratic demands of Boston, mer Mr. Morton is in charge of the colored division of the Democratic national headquarters, according to recent newspaper reports; but on the contrary, a WHITE MAN has been designated as head of the COLORED-SMITH-FOR-PRESIDENT HEADQUARTERS, located in a dingy and unsightly building near the Senator Pat Harrison and other Dirie demagogues are in charge and control of the activities of the Democratic national organization. It is stated that Senators George of Georgia and Harrison of Mississippi, together with Chairman Rushel and Pierre S. DuPont, prevailed with the Gotham governor and showed him that Morton's occupation of such a high position in the Democratic nominee's charges in some of the Southern states. Since Governor Smith has heretofore demonstrated such remarkable courage in facing and giving his views on public issues and questions, and has even defied the advice of those party leaders in his advocacy of revising, amending or nullifying the provision amendments to the Constitution that he would soon capitulate to racial prejudice, sectional intolerance and political opportunism. The Informer is wondering just what effect the governor's action in this matter will have upon some of his chong-hued partisans and supporters who have proclaimed to the world that "Al Smith is another Abraham Lincoln." Really, such a statement borders on political sacrifice, for Governor Smith is identified with the wrong political party to any kind of political kinship with the lamented emancipator. If Governor Smith will yield to the advice and cater to the prejudices of the "solid South" when it comes to the mere appointment of a black man to direct a campaign, for his election to the presidency, among black voters of the country, what can the Negro race expect from him if (God forbid?) Smith should unfortunately become the chief executive of this republic? A man can not serve God and mummen, neither can he serve the company which keeps him and infuriens his actions! While these Dixie Democratic leaders, who are wielding considerable influence in the national headquarters of the party at New York City, realize that Nominee Smith must make inroads in the important and political field of North and East, to keep the "folks back home" in line with the ticket and to maintain the partisan solidity of the South, these double-dealing demagogues are trying to play both ends against the middle. On the other hand the Republican national leaders have turned over the organization work among Negroes of the country to a colored division, manned in its entirety by Negroes, with no other affiliation. The G. O. P. chiefsides are wise enough to know that, even though the Negro has been voting for the Republican national ticket since slavery, it takes Negroes to lead Negroes, and that to attempt any other program will not get any political party very far. Governor Smith is running with and is in the hands of the wrong "gang," and, if these Dixie Negrophobes and theirpartisan sympathizers are going to execute the same culture of antigovernmentism, they will do so in their efforts and campaigns in the "solid South," then their presidential nominee is in imminent danger of being led, as a lamb, to his political slaughter. This yielding on the part of Governor Smith to the "solid South" and the refusal to select some race man as director of the colored division in the present campaign, should be sufficient to convince the most ardent and devoted Smith bucker and booster of color to support the Democratic Party and that section of the Smith will merely place the "solid South" back in the national saddle.

TELEPHONES: n. FOREIGN OFFICES: IMPORTANT! PRESTON 1243-7560 The Houston Informer [Name] SUICIDAL BUSINESS POLICY Despite that fact that there are four or five well-equipped colored printing establishments in Texas, with facilities for doing most of the job work needed by the race in this state, The Informer observes that some of the heads of colored fraternal organizations in Texas are giving much of their printing to shops owned and operated by men who are neither members of the order nor identified with the Negro race! Far be it from the Informer to attempt to spell "color," but if these colored fraternalities are not going to support and stand by the printing establishments owned and operated by members of the orders and race, then such orders are pursuing a suicidal business policy. At least two of these large colored printing plants also publish newspapers, and whenever these fraternal leaders of color want their order boosted and themselves projected on the screen, they invariably resort to and depend upon these two race newspapers. When it comes to protecting and safeguarding the interests of the colored fraternal organizations of Texas, these two colored newspapers can always be relied and depended upon, but as soon as some of these "grands" want some printing job done, they forget the address of these and other colored printing offices in the state. It is really ludicrous to hear some of the excuses and alibi offers for failure to give the Negro printers and members of some of the secret orders a chance to even figure on the printing; yet these same fraternal leaders profess that they do not understand why these two colored newspapers can not accord them and their order all the desired free publicity, both during their annual meetings and throughout the year. Excepting the embossing and lithographing branches of the printing industry, there is not a single job or form used by any Negro fraternity in Texas which some of these colored printers do not do. They are neatly reasonably as such institutions operated by other racial groups. It will be very interesting to note what assistance these printers of other races can render some of the colored fraternal leaders when fights are launched against them in their orders. Then, as customary, they will run frantically to the Negro editors and newspapers for help, and will seek to employ the columns of said race publications to give their "version" of the matter; and maybe ask some of these race editors and printers for their support in their fight to maintain themselves in office, or to land other fraternal plums. Several years ago there was not a single colored printshop in Texas facilitated to do all the printing of these colored fraternities, but Negro printers have invested thousands of dollars during recent years in printing equipment, and some of these establishments are prepared to print anything from a calling card to an enveloping card, and they have no carmarks to reveal the racial identity of the printer. If some of these colored fraternal leaders persist in giving the order's printing to shops other than those owned and operated by members of the order and race, it will be the Informer's painful, though hold duty to expose them to the glare of pitiless publicity, and let the public know something about their boasted "race pride."

Polk states that "Series 400 Nash" has been recently A DARK DAY IN AMSTERDAM The prize event of the Olympic games is the marathon race. This gruelling run of 28 miles, 385 yards, is the supreme test of strength and stamina. Consequently the Nordic team is one of their group to win it, in accordance with the well-known and off-repeated tradition of the rest of the world in stamina. This year the huge team of Amsterdam, Holland, quite confident that with such men as Joe Eay and Clarence De Mar running the lesser contests, would be an easy task, they were from the United States were quickly disillusioned about their superiority to the track teams of other nations, and Germans raced over the finish line in the lead. But the great surprise came in the marathon put on the market, is one of the best buys that can be had in a motor car of that price, or one of a higher price He suggests that prospective automobile purchasers call him at Fairfax 113 and he will be delighted to give a dem ostration in any model of Nash car desired. When the runners left the stadium, the American, Joie Ray, was leading the pack, and the Americans sat back complacently, sure that he would leave them all behind. When almost three hours later, the first runner flashed through the gate of the stadium, who should it be but El Quafi, former dispatch runner for the French army in Algeria, and quite black in color! As the finish was reported: “The powerful muscles in his (El Quafi's) black legs were called upon for a final burst of speed and he passed his competitors one by one. He went by Ray easily, the American vainly attempting to call on his wearying legs to give the final burst that would have given the United States marathon supremacy.” Some distance behind the Africa came a dark-kinned Cilian, then a white-haired American. The Americans had to be satisfied with fifth and ninth places, while the other Nordic teams failed no bet. So much for the superior stamina. College Chatter By C. F.

The alleged shortage of more than 100,000 baptist Home Mission Board, Ga., due to the manipulations of treasure, is not only a show to this particular religious denomination, but to shake public confidence, somewhat in integrity, honesty and earnestness of professed Christians general. The loss of this amount of money, as large as the shortage is claimed, is the most important as the loss of public confidence, who occupy lofty positions in the religious realm. Through an intensive financial campaign the Baptists can reclaim their monetary losses, but no campaign can reclaim or regain the faith, nor nomination had reposed in the betraying financial custodian. That our white Baptist friends are not losing any sleep over this huge shortage, but are perfecting plans to make a strong and successful national endeavors of the denomination as if nothing of this sort had happened.

One can see the crowds of college students with their flaming banners, pennants and colors and none too conservative rooftops. Texas players during the past season. The talk now centers upon what team they will cop to cop the conference championship. Wiley, with Coach Long again at the high schools, usually serious contends. Although, although the loss of "Big Bem" Cavil, she will be strengthened by the addition of her run rampant over local gridiron. Among these is the product of the Houston high schools, Loren Davis, who has run rampant over local gridiron. Bishop, with Coach Mumford returning and the addition of new blood from Jarvis and Corcissane, has high hopes for the medal. It is rumored that Coach Pendleton of the state champions, who has several of his proteges to Bishop. There is also a wealth of maternal influence from other state high school elemen Prairie View always can furnish a team against any competition. It is worth to see them fail to finish in a game, but to see them succeed in a game to see them fail to finish in a competition. Paul Quinn and Samuel Hutton with the addition of new churches and novel methods of attack, have been known as destroyers of the hopes of potential students. Of course, one never knows what to expect of Texas College. Those boys who have some logical contender. Coch English will have his men in three fighting teams in saying the aim in any man's language. Local High School Team It is an exceedingly difficult thing to pick a winner among the local eleven. Winstley has about the same number of points an aggregation backed by a year's experience and has not suffered by any other high schools. With such luminaries as Tissum, Hobbard West, J. E. Codwell and J. E. Codwell can rest confident of a team that will cause sorrow to the misfortune of fading his charisma. Washington will be hard hit by graduation. She is running the men's reserve: Maaron, Harris, Peace, Locke, Countice, Richardson, backs; Hines, Browne, B. G. Harin, Dedman, Brooks, B. G. Coach R. G. Locke is undermined and already has his hopes outlived in the game. It is rumored that Elin Scott, Wiley College star athlete, will have the assistance of the department of the Fourth Ward institution this term. If this is so, then Locke will have the assistance of the Wiley, and also of Roger W. Lightne Morehouse College athlete. These much to old Coach Locke in his diving the following regulars: Lucas Davis and help preserve the prestige of Watch out for Sanches, Porter, Wiley, Bogan, Jackson, McGiminis not be surprised at anything that happens.

Holland was a star football basket ball, baseball and track man at Tennessee State.
