C.—(ANP)—Two weeks ago Ollie Wilder was arrested here as a suspect in several burglaries. At that time he denied having taken part in the robberies, but told police he could open any door in this town. Upon being released, Wilder made good his boil by opening the door of the Bland Motor Company and drove off in a new Ford sedan. He was captured, along with the Ford, in Ratha, N. J. Tunday, and officers left immediately to bring him back to see the company to open the door of the company fell. COUNCILMAN FLEMING'S FRIENDS INCENSED AT CHARGES OF BRIBE PREFERRED BY WHITE POLICEMAN Cleveland, Ohio.—(ANP)—With the legal machinery being whipped into shape for an early trial, friends of Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, indicted on charges of soliciting and accepting a bribe, are rallying behind the well-known alderman and Republican leader and declaring that he is a victim of a frame-up. Supporters of Fleming express the opinion that his indictment was simply an attempt to discredit Negro leadership in politics and to divest Fleming of his power in Republican circles. They further state that he will have no trouble proving that he is innocent of the charges, and this belief is also that of the councilman himself. Beverly Agrees To Halting Sale Here of Baptist Holdings According to a statement made to an Informer reporter Monday, by Attorney John H. Barbour of Galveston, legal counsel for the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas—the faction led by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, pastor of Macedon College, held Tuesday, sale of the college property, booked for next Tuesday on the art room steps, has been halted. This sale of the local college property was ordered by the court to satisfy a judgment granted Prof. John W. Beverly, who formerly served as president of the college, was unable to pay. But due past Mr. Beverly kindly agreed, so Attorney Barbour stated, to not push the sale just now. A Powerful Political Figure Fleming is recognized as one of the most powerful and important cogs in the political organization headed by the Republican senate and national committeeman for Ohio Scholed in politics by the late Mark Hann, whom he shaved during the 12 years he worked as barber, Fleming years ago stepped into the limelight politically and built for himself an office that was elected to the city council in 1909, and has been reelected each time since. His position in the council is as influential as that which he holds in the Republican machine. For a number of terms he served as chairman of the Republican senate and other important capacities. During the national election he was active in the Hoover campaign and was one of the presidential electors from Ohio. The Cane Against Fleming The indictment of Councilman Fleming resulted from charges brought by former Oehme, tripped policeman who was charged with a bribe for favorable action on legislation authorizing the city treasurer to pay the doctor's bills and other expenses of the officer. According to Oehme, he paid Fleming the sum of $300 for the promise and the promise of an additional sum of more than $300 for which the councilman was using his influence to have the payment authorized. Fleming denied the charges and challenged the prosecuting attorney to prove his endorsement. The cashier's check Beverly Ag Halting S of Baptis According to a statement made day, by Attorney John H. Barbc the Baptist Missionary and Ed the faction led by Rev. E. Arlin Baptist Church of Rev. E. Arlin the property, booked for next Tuese been halted.

Beverly December 7, 1928, to the amount of $1460 principal, with 6 per cent interest per annum from November 5, 1928, the court ordered the sale of all property owned here by the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, to be sold February 5, 1929, to settle this claim and to pay the court cost. While the judgment still stands, Beverly has been impounded to help save the property to the denomination by pursuing another course. In discussing the matter, Attorney Barbour said: "I am of the opinion, that the property must be done at once to prevent the further inten- tions of creditors of the Baptist Mis- --- alleged to have been for the amount paid by the policeman, and endorsed by Fleming was produced and the indictment resulted. The councilman pleaded not guilty and was released on a $1,000 bond. The case has rocked the political circles of the city and has aroused public discontent. One of the angles, in which little credence is put, is that the police officer has received several "mysterious visitors" and had been advised to leave town. Another is that Maurice Maschke, the Republican chief, had advised Fleming "to be calm." Maschke made the statement and declared that his advice to his colleague "all the truth, and the truth," but the truth, as to his opinion of whether Fleming is guilty, he replied: "This is the United States. I have always understood that each and every citizen is to be considered innocent until he is proved guilty. That is all I care to say about it." Fleming's position with the Maschke machine has not been affected by his speech, by him. Speaking of Fleming's importance to the "machine," Maschke said: "I really owe Tom Fleming far more than he owes me. Fleming always has been one of the chief party bulwarks in this district."

On January 18, 1929, there was filled in the Seventhment District court, Pt. Worth National Bank vs. Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas; suit on note. --- FIRST SECTION—NUMBER 37 Marshall, Texas, Jan. 30, 1929—At a recent meeting of the board of trustees of Bishop College, held here, Prof. Joseph J. Rhoads, principal of the Booker T. Washington High School of Dallas, president of the Colored State Teachers' Association of Texas, deputy grand master of the United Brothers of Friendship of Texas, and an alumnus of Bishop, was unanimously elected president of the college, to succeed Dr. D. C. Glmore (white), acting president who took up the presidential reins when Prof. C. H. Maxson became physically incapacitated for the onerous duties of the office. Established in 1881 and incorporated in 1883, Bishop College has had six presidents, all white, up to date. The presidents in their respective order and length of service were: Dr. S. W. Culver, 1881-1891; Dr. N. Wolventor, 1889-1897; Rev. A. Loughridge, 1897-1901; Dr. A. B. Chaffee, 1901-1927; Prof. C. H. Maxson, 1907-1927; Dr. D. C. Glmore, 1927-1929. If Prof. Rhoads accepts the prestige of his chosen husband, he will be the first member of the Negro race to serve as titular head of this noted institution of learning. New President Marshallite Prof. Rhoads is a native of Marshall, having been born and raised in the city of Chicago, where he was held in deposition last week. Dr. George R. Hovey, secretary of PROF. JOSEPH J. ROADS Dallas, Texas ly called "Happy Hollow;" graduating in 1906. That fall he matriculated in Bishop College and received his bachelor of science degree in 1910. In 1915 he received his degree in music from Bishop. After graduation Prof. Rhoads taught at Waco and the Prairie View Summer School. During the World War he served as Y. M. C. A. secretary at Tuskegee Institute, later teaching at this famous institution of learning. Having won a scholarship at Yale University, Prof. Rhoads took post-graduate work at this outstanding American institution, and when a new principal was needed for the Booker T. Washington High School at Dallas, he was the unanimous choice of the board and superintendent, de- pending the East than that the distinguished race educator was not an aspirant for the position. When a vacancy occurred in the principalship of Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College a few years ago, Prof. Rhoda was boosted by the principalship and the principalship of the state college. He refused to be a candidate or have his name considered for this portfolio. Chosen Hlsbsp Drive Director during last fall plans were tentatively that a $1,000,000 endowment drive would be launched during 1829, and Prof. Rhonda was designated as the man to head up and direct this campaign. That time the trustees had not definitely decided whether this effort could be pushed better with a white president or colored president, and the matter of a new chief executive of the school was held in obeyance until last week. Dr. R. Hovey, secretary of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, New York City, attended the recent board meeting and stated to the body that the society will continue to support Bishop College under the new administration; that plan had been approved by the school for endowment, new buildings and equipment, and that it had been definitely agreed that this drive should be pushed to a successful culmination under the direction of a Negro president. The president's significant that a product of Bishop College should serve as the first Negro president of the school, and those who know the president-elect best, are strong in the belief that under his administration Bishop College must maintain the foundation of the institution of the country for the higher education of Negro youth. Dr. Hovey Issues Statement A statement released for publication by Dr. George Rice Hovey, secretary of education, American Baptist College, maintained the footsteps of the New York City, says: "The trustees of Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, after mature dilatation, are happy to announce a long considered change in the management of the college.

C. W. Rie, president and manager, C. W. Rie, president and manager, Recent additions to the staff of employees are W. H. Mitchell and D. D. Sledge. Both Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Sledge have had considerable experience in dealing with public affairs. Mr. Mitchell is a native of Kentucky and, for several years, was prominent in the insurance company and later, with the Webster-Richardson Publishing Company as a lineage operator. Mr. Mitchell comes to the association as the industrial secretary. Mr. Sledge, a native of Alabama, is a prominent churchman, and formerly a letter carrier of Orange, being the first colored rural carrier for Orange County. He is well versed in the business of the country, and will have charge of the membership campaign. The association now conducts employment and reference bureaus in San Antonio and Galveston, with full-time secretaries in each office. The association has been completed to open a fourth office in Waco for the purpose of serving Central Texas. He further states that, from the reports, the association is making much progress in training the working people in getting better living conditions and employment. The report shows that more than 12,000 applicants have been given employment representing nearly every kind of work. The association has, for the last four years, endeavored to colored the people to the fact that too great a number of race people are being replaced by Mexicans on practically all jobs which colored people held previously and. Rice points out that more interested in the situation, these conditions will become more alarming and the results will be that our economic and business programs will be impeded; for no race or race group will be employed; and the nurses are unemployed or do not receive a living wage. Another activity of the association is the conducting of a credit reference bureau of which A. J. Turner is manager. According to Mr. Turner's annual report, such program has been made available to the cultured people in Houston. The report revealed that a number of firms that had never carried colored charge accounts are now taking them on. The local headquarters of the association is at 8071 Prairie Avenue, room 206-215. James T. Ewing, district secretary and temple manager of the Old Hollows, spent the week-end in San Antonio and Austin on business.

Tanlae 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER SEVERAL NEGROES BOOSTED FOR KITCHEN CABINET PORTFOLIOS; MITCHELL SEEKS AFRICAN POST By JAMES HOWARD Washington, D. C.—The guess workers who have been bumily engaged in selecting President-elect Hoover's cabinet, have said nothing yet about who will be members of the "kitchen cabinet," or, as it was known during the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, the "black cabinet." Several names, however, have been mentioned, notwithstanding there seems to be a sort of feeling that as Mr. Hoover is pledged to carry out President Coolidge's policies, there will be little for the group to expect. Yet, "spring ores eternal in the human breast," and the names of such persons as Dr. R. R. Motom of Tunkege, John R. Hawkins, director of Negro Republican activities during the campaign; Perry W. Howard, W. W. Hammond, national commissioner from Mississippi; Robert C. Pittsburg, Tennessee; Robert V. Pittsburg, are mentioned among those who will likely be consulted by the incoming administration should Mr. Hoover make a change in the Coolidge policies by selecting some of the group for any political plum or plums. Following the usual custom of applying for a position held by colored candidates in the record of deeds of the District of Columbia are coming to light. Kansas. Charlie Mitchell from Charleston, W. Va., but now a resident of Columbia, would very much like to represent the U. S. government campaign; Perry W. Howard, W. W. Hammond, national commissioner from Mississippi; Robert C. Pittsburg, Tennessee; Robert V. Pittsburg, are mentioned among those who will likely be consulted by the incoming administration should Mr. Hoover make a change in the Coolidge policies by selecting some of the group for any political plum or plums. Rumor has it that Senator James A. Washington, who is to become the next president held by colored candidates in the record of deeds of the District of Columbia are coming to light. Supporting Ernest Tidrington of Indiana for the position of registrar of the treasury, should the new president Martin R. Powell of Wathey, N.C. is a candidate for Mr. Fropp's job.

S. government as minister of Aboriginal affairs, to the fact that the present incumbent of the recorder's office, Arthur Free, is from West Virginia, and is sitting pretty on the job since his boyhood friend, one of the famous Hatfields, has been named the State senate, succeeding a Democrat. Rumor has it that Senator James A. Watson, who is to become the next Republican leader of the senate, is supporting Ernest Tidrington of Indiana, the treasury, should the new president decide to restore this job to the race group. John R. Hawkins is recovering from a major operation. He declines to the political unlook for the group under the forthecoming administration. PANTHER CAGERS DROP CONTEST TO Y.M.C.A.

Worth, Texas.—More than 200 Baptist ministers assembled in this city January 16-17, 1925, with the Corinth Baptist Church, Rev. B. B. Corinth, who many salts, women and men, from every part of the commonwealth, gathering, with hoary hair, faces plowed with the furrows of years, young and tender faces, the symbol of the church, and beating fresh from the schools and colleges, would have inspired the onlooker to anticipate brighter and better days in the affairs of the Texas Baptists. The spirit of fellowship, love and goodwill was in evidence during the whole session. Any one could see that the group was not being, but determined to The spirit of fellowship, love and goodwill was in evidence durin the whole session. Anyone could see that the group was not playing, but determined that the Baptist convened E. L. Harrison, the convention should be Baptist. The convention set forth very clearly to the world the principles for which they were fighting, and declared the man Rev. E. L. Harrison, their standard bearer only as a means to the end. Any other man with the same characteristics could be the leader. In discussing the situation Rev. Harrison said: "For ten years the B. M. and E. convention, though more than $200,000 has been raised and handled by the officers, has not been able to print a minute of the doings of the convention. Ports have been given to the people during these years. The convention has never been a Baptist meeting. Annual members—n. a. Christian saint—have been running the convention, or rather attempting to do so. A machine has undertaken to name its officers and perpetrate grape. Bogus portgages have been given on the property of the convention, on liens against the property without knowledge or approval of the convention, or its board of directors. Certified copies of a $4,000 loan and another of $2,618,18 which have never been reported to the溶救; the donations in denial of the right of the president to set with the power of attorney in fact, brought by the chairman of the trustees, Rev. P. W. Wesley, were all in evidence at the Fort Worth meeting. Much correspondence was dismissed during the a sheriff-sale notice for February 8, a suit for $27,000 by the Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge of the State of Texas, foreclosure on borrowed money; a suit by the Fort Worth National Bank for $5,000 which much grief to the assembled Baptists. The following principles were adopted and styled as the ten commandments to be observed and fought for: 1. A representative body constituted of duly authorized messengers from Baptist churches and Baptist organizations. 2. A government true to the polity of the Baptist church by an unimolested, unimidimated majority suffrage. 3. The elimination of annual memorials for the deceased, paco-batas and sinners, by a machine for machine strength, the destruction of dihonesty, corruption and fraud in elections. 4. An honest and open accounting to the convention of the management of all property owned by the church, by receipts and disbursements of all monies by officers and representatives of the convention. The elimination of cost-pocket constitutions, and for a printed minute of the dotings and financial handling of all money. 5. The elimination of the convention to the people; a workable program that will appeal to the intelligent business laymen of our churches, and the solicitation of the concession of our business laymen's talent in the management of the denominational work of the church. 6. The elimination of official spite and tyranny; the building up of a brotherhood that will seek the salvation of the world. The religious training of the youth of our churches, in and controlled by the denomination. The recognition of all on the basis of Christian equality with painstaking efforts to correct the wrongs, restores the dignity of the people, and the destruction of miscellaneous jealousy, hate and malice. 7. The perpetuation of the noble and worthy principles and ideals of our fathers in carrying out the great commission of Christ, the great Head of the church, and in instituting and maintaining the institution, and the control of the convention. 8. The establishment of a direct relationship between the churches affiliated with the convention and in cultivating the relationship of the rural churches and pastors. 9. A clean and impartial paper owned and controlled by the convention, non-partisan, but fair enough to open its columns to the opposite side of any question worthy of one side's discussion. A denominational paper, not a machine, is the expense of the denomination. 10. The reasonable rotation of the office of president and equal qualification of consecrated laymen to serve for any office within the gift of the convention, and especially on the board, management, where business is essential to the success of the same. The brethren made it known that any Baptist or group of Baptists who can endure and operate by the above ten fundamental principles, can find a hearty reception in their rinka. Even a union of the two factions can and again turns Tum can have to fight the one common enemy—it was the lack of such that divided them and the returning to such will remite them. The president, Rev. E. L. Harrison, also announced that he stands ready to how to such a program could be planned and should the purposes could be preserved by so doing. The meeting closed Thursday night with a great aermon by Dr. T. L. Ballon of Marshall, Texas. Dr. T. B. Bilbrow, Dallas, was elected as chair of the women's convention, George, Sr. and G. B. Williams of Denison, field missionaries; Mrs. J. M. C. Ames, Dallas, state director and missionary for the women's convention; Mrs. J. M. C. Ames, Dallas, state director of Starlight bands, and a committee of 15 women headed by Mrs. B. Johnn, Pt. Worth, and president of Willow Grove Association, with Miss Virginia B. Miller, 1919; Robin H. Hammond, to carry on the women's work for the convention, until the October convention or further announcement. All monies from women's societies for departments not represented by Mrs. Ames and Mrs. J. M. C. Ames must be sent to Mrs. Hammond.

HARISON, President Texas Baptist Fulfillment THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1929 BLEDSOE PRAISES CONFERENCE HELD HERE WITH ANTIOCH CHURCH PLANS FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL MEET 1. The great Bible conference of the National Baptist Publishing Board, U. S. A., under the auspices of Dr. A. M. H. Auer, president of the board; director; Rev. A. A. Bemm, manager; Prof. R. Alwine Aunti, musical director; Rev. W. G. Hyson, organizer and exhibitor, and Mrs. M. H. Flower, a constructive, inspiring and educational order which gave ill Horton a vision of the great need of religious education and training. As guests of the historic Antichrist Baptist Church, Horton, with its disastrous history, will attend for one week these missionary workers and educators, with Prof. Austin of Ohio an musical director, gave to Horton one of the best programs of our educational work in the history of our educational work. As president of the Texas Baptist State Sunday School Convention and member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, I wish to wish our constituents that a new day with a new vision for the church is on for functioning. It was our delight to have an opportunity to cooperate with Dr. Townsend, who is secretary of our great publishing board. I wish to ask further that we did what in a feeble way to take care of the interest and standpoint of the church, which has stood by the publishing board from its beginning and has cared in every possible way for 47 years the interest of the educational need of the child-life of the church of our convention. Dr. J. E. Knox, the great religious and educational magnet, was present at the conference and was sure for the success that attended this Bible conference. Prof. W. L. Davis, the noble and waylayman, superintendent of Antioch Baptist School and secretary of the Texas Baptist State Sunday School Convention, made fine contributions which added to the spirit and power of the church. As president, I addressed the conference Saturday night and was one of the principal speakers in the afternoon on Sunday, with a filled house, and after a short talk on "Social Heralding" in the morning, in about 29 minutes $101 was raised in behalf of the Sunday School Convention. The conference workers were chared by the support and assistance given by the president and chairman, and the spiritual interest was the highest ever known in the conference of this character, the financial interest resulted in $73,88 which was a record breaker and all Texas Baptist churches. The pride should feel proud for grand Old Antich, her pastor, and members and the cabinet of our convention. We wish to may further that we are preparing plans for the greatest Sunday School conference and international meeting ever held under American alces at Marshall, next August. The pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Dr. T. L. Ballon, and minister of our Sunday school, Dr. of our district and East Tulsa are planning to give our convention and the world the best of its kind and character. Bishop College, through its presided by the faculty, has consented to throw the classroom doors open and make any contributions required for the successful operation of our convention. Dr. J. E. Knox, director of our religious educational activities, assisted by the president of the convention, is now arranging for the greatest opportunity to out the length and breadth of Texas, and we are asking all Baptists to throw open their doors, hearts and pocket-books, goodwill and cooperation to extent that a greater spirit of the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man is offered to faculty for our mission, educational, evangelical department is now being selected with care and other considerations. Additional features of this program will be given publication as soon as definite arrangements can be made. W. P. BLEDGE, President of the Texas Baptist Sunday School Convention. THE MIRROR (Continued from Page One) his visit here both profitable and pleasant. The forty-first session of the state legislature, in biennial convention at Austin, is being delved with bills, measures and provisions of all type and character; some not beaten down, on some, while some are of vital importance to the welfare and development of the state. One proposition of primary importance to Texas is the proposed constitution amended to include the $175,000,000 good road bond issue: $175,000,000 for road building program and $75,000,000 for the shouldered the heavy financial responsibilities of constructing and maintaining roads, and the highways through said counties. Texas is largening far behind most of the American states in the construction of highways, and since the state is so large and some of the counties are not in financial position to build building programs, some method must be evolved and legalized by the state to enable these poor counties to share with the richer counties paved highways The agitation to revolutionize the pentagonial system by providing a more flexible system to moderate the system generally, is a belated start in the right direction. The system will do something definite and tangible along this line. The moment and much importance, some of our soils seem to be trying to be getting into the linehead by introducing bill just to be proposed to make ministers of the谷物 lignite the membership in the committee to make ministers the other seek to place a ban on the teaching of evolution. Darwinian the other "monkey business" in the state. Really, if we are to ban and ban the system, something that a good start could be made in the Texas legislature, judging from the class of bills which are submitted HAYNES DISCUSSES RECENT MEET OF TEXAS BAPTISTS AT FT. WORTH; SAYS WILSON REGIME ZIG-ZAGGING BY REV. M. M. HAYNES Austin, Texas in obedience to the call issued by President E. L. Harrison and the board of directors of the major faction of the B. M. and E. Convention, between 200 and 300 pastors, laymen and women assembled January 16-17 at Ft. Worth, with the Corinthian Baptist Church, Dr. B. B. Johnson, pastor. The masses assembled had an opportunity to hear the truth about all the issues facing the church trevoy now going the rounds. It has been said that we are fighting for men, which is true in part, but when the people read the declaration of fundamental Baptist principles as they will be set forth in these columns, all lovers of truth and right- ness will be able to think and think alike, will be able to reach definite conclusions for themselves. Every section of Texas was represented at this called session of the convention and they are standing solidly together with ties as strong as adamant. No one, however, wished to be Baptist ranks, but one thing is certain: Baptist fundamental principles must be accepted and upheld in order to restore peace, harmony and solidarity among Baptists. President E. L Harrison sounded the keynote to the convention that has transpired from the very beginning, events as they relate to our differences, he is still willing to arbitrate with those of the Wilson faction in keeping with the time-honored principles that govern Baptist organization. Wilson will do the same and let the people choose a third man in an open, straight-forward, honest vot of the messengers from the churches affiliated with the B. M. and E. Convention. If this is not high ground, pray where there can high ground be found? FIRST IN ADVERTISING PIECE—PAGE PIVI We deaf our hat to this trio of God's representativeness. Our banner is unferied to the gentle greeties and all are invited to watch these columns for authentic information touching affairs as they relate to the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas. AGED WATCHMAN SHOOTS BANDITS AND SAVES CASH Kansas City, Kansas—(ANP)—W. W. Woods, who lacks one year of having lived his allotted three-score and ten years, was the hero of a holdup he Wednesday night. Woods was employed at a drug store here as an watchman. Wednesdays he rounded, he found himself looking down the barrel of an automatic pistol and a revolver in the hands of two bandits. The men ordered the watchman to stick 'em up and when he complied with their order went about buying the safe and cash registers. The failure of the search to search Woods proved to be their undoing. Finding himself uncovered and armed, Woods pulled his revolver and shot both of the men and saved the firm's money. Liquid DuBois, age 22, was fatally wounded, and his company, Tabler, 19, was critically injured. Woods has been in the employ of the drug store for a number of years and prior to the holdup it was the concensus of opinion that he was being retained on account of his years of experience in nursing, however, the aged watchman considered in a new light—that of a real hero. Williams Is Defeated For Y Chairmanship St. Louis, Mo.—(ANP) Frank L. Williams, principal of Summer High School, was defeated for re-election as chairman of the board of directors of Fine Street Department, V. M. C. A. Williams, the first chairman of the board and had held that office for years. The new chairman is W. J. Beckett, Summer High School teacher of physical education. A special committee investigating school conditions in St. Louis, has been appointed to the board that Prof. William, who has been principal of Summer High School for twenty years, be transferred to some other field of activity for the best interest of the school system here. Sometimes age, 7,000 signatures were attached to petitions, declaring that the school principal was at an end. The petitions which were turned over to the school board, had the following introductory: "We, the underarmed citizens of St. Louis, believe that the interests of education in this city will be best served by the work of Frank L. Williams from the principalship of Summer High School." FLEMING ance, have expressed confidence in the integrity of Fleming and have offered their support. Typifying the statements issued by organizations, is that the Seventh Ward Republican Club and its president, is president, which was as follows: "The recent incident of Thomas W. Fleming with charges of bribery and the manner in which it is treated is a new feature is equivalent to trying the case and verifying a verdict outside of the courts provided for that purpose. We, with a membership of nearly 5,000 people, outreach and inform Fleming of the situation, have implicit faith in the integrity of Thomas W. Fleming and a confidence in no wipe shaken by these sensational reports." MRS. L. V. GOODE MRS. L. V. GOODE TREACHER OF PIANO Limited Class Personal Attention. Handcraft and Rhythmic Work Sewing. PHONE PRESTON 7140 STUDIO: 1020 GROVE STREET **RHOADS** (Continued from Page One) of this school, the president and faculty of the school will be entitled colored. "It is with sincere regret that they lose the wise and kindly service of President D. C. Gilmore after the school administered the college so well; and of his devoted white associates, who have left their funnies on Bishop students for a much longer time. But it is believed by the trustees and by the faculty that the time that the school has come to place a Negro president at the head of the school. The time and the man have met. We have elected to the presidency one who is generally regarded as the most capable state and the foremost educator among the alumni of Bishop College, Professor Joseph J. Rhonda, principal of Booker T. Washington High School of Dallas and president of the Colleges of Dallas and Public Association of Texas. "This transfer of the school to a Negro faculty does not mean any lessening of the support and direction of the students. This should be clearly understood. "But it does intrinsically mean that Negroes will take more interest in the school, and have more responsibility for its support and its management. Negroes will take more interest in the school, as of white schools, to give more thought and money for its advancement. "In order to secure this, the new management is absolutely free from any restrictions on the school. It will make it his unvarying policy to cooperate with all conventions and parties and with all other groups of influential Negroes in the state. Only by united effort can the ends sound. Any faction could have been elected president. "President Rhodes, by his nature and his chosen policy, will not be able to prevent that there shall be only one party among Negro Baptists in the state."

P. I. FIXWATTE, I.D., Dumfries Broadway, Belfast, Ireland) (42. 1828, Western Newspaper Club) LESSON TEXT-II Tit. 11:4-14 DOLBY TEXT-II Upon them open, open that I may behold wondrous things out of my law. I will I. The Scriptures Are Divinely Inspired. (II Tim 3:18). The first thing to be assured concerning the Cannonical Scriptures is that the Scripus God is at "many thou" and in dives manners" speaking to man (Heb. 1:1). Paint in this passage the utterance that the utterance of Holy Wax were God's breath in many mouths. The Holy Scriptures do not the Word of God, but he is verity the message of God, but man. The main cause of the moral break is that man have been raised of the authoritative message from God. N. The Value of the Scriptures (11:16-17). R. It should make wine into halvation (v. 15). Salvation is in Christ alone. It is secured through faith in His finished work on the cross. True wisdom leads to salvation, and it is through the other name under heaven given among men shepherd we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and without the shading of there is no remission (Heb 9:22). Discipline the life (v. 16, 17). In this "dereite" is set forth the other name under heaven, since there is only place to find the teaching of God in His Holy Word. It not only is forth a standard of life, but it represents a true way. The way to represent God is by demonstration but with a positive presentation of truth. The Word corrects (gets straight the disclosures of personal matters) and rightness, the rightness, and equips for service. The Nature and Effects of God's Law (Pus. 19:7-11). It is without flaw; converts and restores the soul; turns man back to holiness and to God. It is absolutely dependable. God cannot be Man's resounding change, but God's Word endures forever. It makes man the simple. Not only does God make man the simple, but it registers the legitimate things of this world. The precepts and judgments of the Lord are expressions of absolute belief. They fill the belief with relics. 4. Pure. There is in it no mixture of error. 5. Pure. It is in it nothing but truth in matter. Because of this it enlightens the eye. 6. The Word affects the life, its cleaning is from within and from without. 7. True and righteous. 8. True and Word are true, without exception. 9. The judgments of God’s Word are unimpeachable. Because of those qualities God’s Word is excellent gold. Oblivance邪恶 Great reward The Prairie of the Believer (Pra. 1920) The life brought to face with God’s Word is seen as sinful. The Lord is clear. 1. Cleansing (v. 12) The perfect wives reveal the imperfections of the life. The Word of God of the Individual may be immanent (Ia. 6.5). 2. To be kept from presumptious ill. (v. 13) Presumptious ill, arrogant sins are peculiarly dangerous. In the Mouste economy no mercy was provided for such. 3. Precious from the dominion of such sins. (v. 13) How awful in the slavery of those who are in bondage to presumptious ill. 4. That the words of the mouth and meditation of the heart be kept accepted. Gao's right. From how dangerous the heart can be freed if the words and meditations of the heart were kept in line with the Holy Scriptures.

Let it Rather Be Hounded Lift up the arm that hang down, and the feeble hue; and make straight poke for your feet, let that which is feeble be turned out of the arm; it rather be hounded — Heb 12:32, 18. Hopelessness of Hypocrisy For what is the base of the hypocrisy, though he hath gritten, when God kills away his soul? Will God kill the cry when trouble comes to him? JOE JOHNSON WORKING IN SENATOR GOFF'S OFFICE Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Joseph Johnson, who for sometime worked as a stenographer in the clerk's office of the U.

Mr. Johnson is an expert stenographer and a candidate for a committee clerk in the new congress. ```markdown ``` NOTE-If the article appearing in this column suggest any particular question to your mind, or if you desire further information about the Negro Business League, please contact the Department of the Associated Negro Press, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, or Secretary, National Negro Business League, Tuskegee University, Alabama, or a communication to the Inquiry Division, National Negro Business League, D. C., will be productive of the further information desired. It is unfortunate that so few of the Negro businesses of the country have access to such fonts and informations as are tapped by the National Negro Business League at the annual conventions of that organization. For the benefit of the many who missed a splendid on "The Future of the Small Merchant," pre-merchant August 14th at the New York meeting, information has been extracted and some highly useful information called and passed along to our readers: and Accident Insurance Company held January 14 at the short off at this meeting the board of direct declared their first annual divide it will be payable in February. Norfolk—At the 23rd annual building of the Norfolk Home Building Loan Association the treasurer repaired receipts for the year 1928 had taken more than $10,000. St. Louis—The New Age Build and Loan Association declared an annual dividend of 5% at its last line and the Retail business in the United States is undergoing changes which are almost as sweeping as those which followed the introduction of power driven machinery. The real cause for these changes is the increasing earning power of labor. It is not possible to give skilled clerks it, but it is possible that they can get an skilled mechanics and make any money out of a small store. A store selling $2,000 worth of goods a year has weekly sales of $1,000, and at 23 per cent net profit, which is the most that many lines of goods will stand, this gives the storekeeper $2 a week for his share. That may in some parts of the country represent a fair return for the work and worry of directing a $222,000 worth of merchandise that represents no more than a well-trained mechanic can get if work is even moderately continuous. And yet, the recent census of distribution taken in eleven cities shows that out of 80,000 independent stores in all trades only 11.24 per cent did more than $50,000 a year each. Thus, the independent store business, but these 70,000 stores below the $50,000 were paying their own fees less than $25 a week in profits. Moreover, 28.05 per cent of the independent stores did less than $2.50 a week profit, which, of course, is less than a low wage for unskilled labor. This low charging power of retail businesses costs the store owners the spread of chain store organizations. Of the 95,000 stores covered by the census of 11 cities over 15 per cent belonged to chain store organizations, and these did nearly 30 per cent of all the retail business done in 41 trades in the 11 cities. The price of managerial brains is being spread over 3 or more stores, and in this way the new conditions in the retail environment are being examined. As you examine farther into the possibilities of retail business as a field for colored people let me urge you to keep these facts in mind. Apparently many of those who are now in retail business an independent merchant are selling their brains at an auction, as a mark of other words, they are paying too high a price for nominal independence. The probabilities are that the lot of the small merchant will grow worse than better at time goes on. It is my conviction that chain store operations can be a field of retail operations for both white and colored people during the next few years offer many advantages over small scale independent stores. Society apparently is making up its mind that it can benefit from the many as many small shopkeepers as it once did; and the small storekeeper in exchange for his nominal independence is going to be given an adequate wage by the larger organizations in the retail business, or is going to earn more, or even more advantage, even if more active and exegeting pursuit.

COLORED ORDER IN STATEWIDE SPELLING BEE Oklahoma City, Ola. — (ANP) — Educators in this state are agreed that one of the most interesting and far-reaching educational events held in the West, is the state spelling bee and state oratorical contest sponsored by the Knights of Pythias of Oklahoma and held under the direct supervision of the State Department of Education. For several years now these events, in which the schools of practically every county take part, have been one of the chief events in the school calendar. The spelling bee is another of the schools. Contents are held in each town and then in each county. The county winners meet and "spell down" at the state bee. The same plan is followed for the oratorical contest which is confined to the student of high schools. Intense interest and friendly rivalry among the students and teachers of Oklahoma City resulted, principally in increased school attendance, as well as a com- FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVER RASPBERRY CHARLOTTE 1 package raspberry jumket 1 pint milk Lady fingers Raspberry jam 1 egg white 4 tablespoon sugar Coconut Spread lady fingers with jum and line dessert glasses with them.

R. Jones of the New Orleans area of the Methodist Episcopal Church for the past four or five years, has been engaged in developing a project at Gail Lake, Waveland, Mimi., with the help of the National Center for Negroes in the national center for Negroes. He is accrued in securing title to some guilt coat property comprising a league of land fronting on the Gulf of Mexico, in one the most desirable spots on the Mississippi coast. When he was appointed to dispatched old drowning knights on the Jackson House and said once to have been the home of former President Andrew Jackson, there was no sign of civilization to indicate that human feet had ever tried that soil. This was kick in April, 1921. Since that time, Buck into an assembly ground that richest the best. He was led to establish this enterprise by reason of the fact that he had visited such centers as Silver Lake, Geneva, Winona Lake, Blue Lake, Ridge, Northfield, and Oak Ridge, into an assembly ground that the latter lack of some place where the Negro might go for rest and recreation: Gulfside has involved much more and worry on part of Bishop Jones, but its prefect's status and outlook seem to amply justify the cost in every way. It was on the grounds of addition to the old museum which had been completely overhauled and built in first class shape, being thoroughly modernized, three other public buildings, an open air pavilion, three or four beautiful and well furnished cottages, and practically every convenience to be found in a big city. The most important song, has been variously estimated to be worth from three hundred thousand to, during park of boom, a million dollars. It has just within the interaction of three lines of communication—the Landville and Nashville Railroad, Old Chicago and New York, and deepaway between Mobile and Glen Harbor. Every summer the place is a vibrant believable of activities—cultural educational, religious and social. At least thirty different organizations meet each year for a period of three months of activities, special attractions are sponsored by the Guildford Association for the people in the many vicinity, including New Caledon and Mobile-excursions, and hiking pilgrims and the Hue which carry a following of thousands of people at closely intervals. Guildford is providing about 100 visitors each year to the existence of the Nigroe, and it is the hope of the founder, R. K. Jones, to have it serve not only as a summer resort and annually groups for meeting of the leadership of various groups in the summer then, but that it shall serve as a retreat for vacations seeking a cool and cold World. It is an ideal place for this purpose, having a delightful even climate and exquisite scenery. Bishop Jones has done the race a service for which it will forever be his debtor. Gulfide affords a first place for contacts not only racial but interracial. So impressed have the Metropolitan and Rosewood people with the work of the clan it has cloned in their list of philanthropy. Gulfide has no contempt as an as-Negrose are concerned. There is nowhere in America that the Negro can go and enjoy the Algae which Gulfide affords, undisturbed and to his heart's content. S. Government, set March 1 as the date for closing relief work.

Hawkins J _— Bihan a RUN i i a Ra Raa a Om = Foam ELEN was one of those colored girls de- an scribed as being of fair complexion with HememmE sandy red hair. She was pretty, at least SEPA everyone said so. She was not spoiled, ———I but apt at times to let a little flattery go to her head. At twenty-one she was a little co- quettish, more from environment than by nature. Always good natured, and with a cheerfulness that was at times likely to be misunderstood. She had recently come north to live with an aunt, and worked in one of the few first class eating places for colored in the city. She dressed well, because she bought her own clothes, and if there was anything that she could do it was to select nice clothes. She had a grace- ful form, and, like most girls so blessed, she was proud of it. Into this place where Helen worked, one day came Jim Howard. Jim was one of those fellows Ea by the “fast set” as “old fashioned” and ful. He was neither, but he was discriminat- ing. Flappers held no charm for him; his books were his pals, and he spent most of his time with them. Studying, which had been denied him in his youth, was now his hobby. He was ambitious. It is true that he was not what could be called ‘a ladies’ man, but there was something about Hel- en that made him look at her twice, which was a record for him. While he did not believe in love at first sight, he did believe one could like very much at the first sight; and this is what he did. ‘A new force had begun to move within him; was it love? There was the coquettish smile, and she said “Alright-e,” but beneath that Jim thought he saw something more, a little of the old fashioned girl. Jim liked Helen. s HIS PROBLEM GROWS SERIOUS Jim’s problem grew more serious each day, he just had to talk to Helen, but how to start he did not know. Was she married? This troubled him. How would he find out? He had said that he would not make a fool of himself for any woman, but things are easy to say. He had one hope. Coming in as he did from work, oftimes he had a book or two with him; she had asked several times to see them and read their titles, but never had she expressed a desire to borrow one, which ‘was what Jim wanted her to do.” He hoped that she would, for, as he put it, that would “break the ice,” Her interest in books had encouraged him, for that was the kind of wife he wanted if he ever married. “If I could just get her to talk about books for a start,” he almost moaned, “then I could work myself in.” He did get his chance, just as he had dreamed and prayed he would. One day as he came in with a little volume of short stories she asked if she might read it when he had finished with it. His desire for dinner was gone. “‘I've read it al- ready,” he lied; and added: “A pal of mine just gave it back to me.” WALKING ON AIR For several days Jim walked on air; it was that long before he could get back to the little eating place. He planned over in his mind many things to say to her when he saw her again, only to become almost tongue-tied when he did see her. As he entered she greeted him with: “Why, hello, Jimmie, you're quite a stranger.” “How did you learn my name,” he asked, grinning foolishly. “Oh, it was in the book,” she answered with a little smile, and added: “I think it a wonderful little book.” 7 “There are ten of them in the sety”" He ii” formed her. “May Lread some of the others, too?” she asked with a smile that would have made Helen of Troy look like she was crying. “Sure!” he answered nervously. “I have’ about two hundred books in all — a young li- brary.” “Maybe you will lend me lots of them; you A good tonic that keeps you feeling well St.Joseph's G.F.P.
