At the conclusion of remarks, Mr. DeWalt presented this local business company, introduced the party to the faculty and by the faculty of the Houston Business Men's Club was unable to make the trip because of pressing business engagements. After the chapel program the delegation was chaperoned to the 'teach's' dining hall by Principal Bank and Dean W. H. Evans, where a most sumptuous spread was served the Houstonians. Steward M. A. Dillon and his staff saw to it that no member of the party wanted for anything in the eating line, and some of the men (most notably Hobart T. Taylor, O. P. DeWalt, N. Dudley, Jr., and Homer E. McCoy) left the table rather reluctantly. Following dinner (note we did not say lunch), a tour of inspection began, the new Evans Hall, modern girls' dormitory, being the first building visited. Dean Saurez and Mrs. M. E. V. Hunter conducted us through this beautiful structure which was designed and constructed by Negroes, excepting the terrazzo floors; and we must confess that it was conspicuous in the interior for its cleanliness and "honey" atmosphere.

Washington, D. C. — (ANP) — Congressman George Holden Tinkham of Massachusetts has written a letter to President Hoover, urging him to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States, as well as the much-talked of eighteenth amendment. The Massachusetts congressman has been battling for the rights of Negro citizens for several years and his latest effort has caused much discussion here.

PRISONER RUNS AWAY TO ESCAPE BRUTAL GUARDS New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—Declaring he "just had to run off" from brutal jailers at Plaquemine, La, under a federal court sentence for bootlegging, Martin Jack walked into the office of Assistant United States Attorney William H. Norman, Monday and surrendered telling a story of mistreatment during the ten weeks he has been incarcerated. When Jack pleaded guilty to selling and possessing liquor before Judge Borah January 7, he was fined $200 and sentenced to serve six months in jail. He was committed to the parish jail at Plaquemine and March 7 would have been liberated had he paid his fine. Unable to pay the $200 assessed he was required under the poor convict act, to serve an additional 30 days before becoming eligible for release. Before being taken into custody again, Jack declared he ran away from Plaquemine and came to New Orleans on a freight train to avoid being physically maltreated because he had complained of conditions. He was able to escape because he was working "mostly washing automobiles for everybody in town." The man declared he had been "farmed out" and spent his days away from the jail at work. When he was returned at night he was forced to eat scraps from the plates of other prisoners, he said. Other prisoners, he said, were "loaned" to citizens for labor in the town. Marshal Loisel said that the man will be sent to Plaquemine to complete his sentence there.

The investigation resulted from the entrance of some twenty or more prisoners into the camp. The limited facilities were already taxed and the addition of more prisoners added to the problem. The committee committee pointed out that the prisoners in the camp were suffering a manner of indignity and discomfort.

This action was the result of the recommendation of State Attorney John A. Swanson, and absolves Mr. DePriest from charges of vote fraud in con- Negro Detectives Urged By Leading New Orleans Daily New Orleans, La.—(ANP)—The Item, one of the leading white daily newspapers in this city, editorially urges the appointment of Negro detectives. The editorial follows: "Frank Walker, probably the only Negro detective in Mississippi and Louisiana, goes to Clarksdale on the trail of a murderer. His record over the past 38 years includes the capture of seven murderers who were hanged and 39 others sent to prison." "The Item suggests that New Orleans might find it profitable to train a few intelligent Negroes for detective work among their own people. The Negroes represent about one-fourth of our population and a still larger percentage of our criminals. Crimes of violence are especially common among them. The importance of treating these crimes as seriously as if they were among whites, the necessity of catching and prosecuting the Negro killers for the protection of both races." "Few white policemen or detectives can set much information even from law-abiding colored people. Too few really understand the Negro's psychology. The latter, instinctive, reluctance of most Negroes to solve their needs information about their neighbors, or about criminals, adds to the difficulty."

B. Deans, prominent Negro citizen and property owner, to file a petition in the United States District Court here Saturday, asking for an injunction to restrain the city from enforcing the ordinance which forbids Negroes to occupy residences in blocks occupied by a majority of white people. The petition sets forth that the ordinance unlawfully and unreasonably discriminates against Mr. Dean and his family on account of their race and color. He recently purchased a beautiful home on 638 North 27th Street, located in a neighborhood which is mainly white.

Attorney Edward H. Morris, noted lawyer and national grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, represented the colored congressman-elect, and the state's action is taken here as an admission that its case against Mr. DePriest was too filimay and weak to stand the searchlight of legal scrutiny and investigation. Mr. DePriest will now present his credentials to congress next ATLANTIC CITY BLIND HUSBAND SHOOTS SPOUSE Atlantic City, N. J.—(ANP)—Harry Anderson, 40, a blind soap peddler, shot his estranged wife, Martha Anderson, 30, in her home at 702 Lexington Avenue Tuesday night when he learned that his wife was “running around” with other men. Sightless, yet with unerring aim because of the acuteness of his sense of hearing, following a quarrel and after visiting his wife's home and finding men's clothing hanging in the room, he waited and when she entered, guided by her voice, he shot five times, two of which took effect in the left shoulder and left side. Mrs. Anderson is in the hospital in a critical condition and her husband is in the city jail. Questioned by Captain of Detectives Ferretti, Anderson told a story of his affliction and marital difficulties and said that his wife left him when he "went broke." He went to her home and pleaded for a reconciliation to no avail. Anderson, up to a year ago, was a barber, his sight leaving him. He was married before and has four children by his first wife.

NEGRO SPEAKER PLACED IN JAIL IN PELICAN CITY New Orleans, Lm.—(ANP)—Because he uttered statements not in keeping with the general policy of the South and which opted to be humilious to the best interests of the South, he rested here early Sunday morning by Police Officer Henry Spamel. According to reports, Small was found addressing a small group of Negroes on the second floor of a roaring house and was urging them to leave. He then told them that they had merited the same recognition as whites through their service to the country during war and peace time. Small was characterized by the police as a dangerous character with ultra radical ideas which he would destroy the "amicable relations which exist between the races in New Orleans." Andrew Anderson and Emily Quiln, members of the Emily Quiln team, also entered into a debate. WAGES LEGAL SEGREGATION ISSUED BY COUNCIL a famous or infamous Richmond in effect recently, caused J.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—(ANP)—That South America is the continent of tomorrow, the land of unlimited opportunity is the opinion of Will Irwin, popular newspaperman, author, and lecturer, who addressed students of Tuskegee recently. Mr. Irwin, who accompanied President Hoover on his roadwill tour of South America, told something of the resources of that continent, of its advantages, and disadvantages, of its people, their culture, and civilization. "Two things have operated to retard the progress of South America—geography and politics," the speaker said. "The Andes have effectively lost off the west coast from the main body of the continent. At present there is only one place where this mountain range is traversed east to west by a railroad. And in Brazil the Amazon presents difficulties. But with the introduction of modern engineering these difficulties can be overcome, opening up vast territories for economic development. The South American republics are the most diverse in temperament, tradition, and condition from those of the people differed in temperament, tradition, and condition from those of the government, and in income. The government was not gone as well. Three of the Latin American republics have been the most protection of dictators. Education has been largely limited to the governing class which constitutes only a small percentage of the people being unlettered peasants. The governing classes of the continent are highly cultivated people, like the business and beauty and spiritual values which is uncommon in America. They look with interest at the status of the United States. And also this country is looked upon with suspicion and fear which has largely out of our policy in the Caribbean. Between America and Brazil, he is the most friendly feeling. In the history of that country there have been two nationalities, a friendly faction. The stability of this country can only be accounted for, according to the common sense of the Portuguese and the Stirles Negro, the combi- Mr. Irwin told of the success of the Hoover tour which was in a large measure due to Mr. Hoover's eagerness to learn of the conditions in those countries and to his ability to captivate men in private conferences. He also told of the colorful and cordial reception which the party received everywhere on the tour. Protection Against Typhoid Fever Protection Against Typhoid Fever By ALGERNON B. JACKSON. M. D. (For The Associated Negro Press) Typhoid fever may occur at any time during the year, but it is most common in the summer and late summer and during the autumn month. Typhoid fever germs are taken into the body through the mouth or by means of direct infection with the virus. Among foods other than milk that are most likely to be exposed to infection and liable to convey typhoid fever are those eaten raw or uncooked. Well-cooked food properly pasteurized or boiled milk or milk products are safe from the danger of conveying typhoid or other milk-borne or water-borne diseases. Of course, any article handled by a carrier of these diseases may convey the disease, and cooking is no protection, if one should be so unfortunate as to come in contact with food prepared or served by such a person. A "carrier" of a disease is a person who, although not sick with the disease himself, harbors and discharges the germs of a particular disease from his body. The part played by the fly in the spread of typhoid fever and other diseases must, of course, be always kept in mind. The natural question arises as to how these typhoid germs get into water, milk and other foods. The answer is simple. They come from the bowel and kidney discharges of persons who are suffering from the disease, or who are carriers of the germs. Typhoid fever prevalence, therefore, depends upon insanitary methods in respect to the disposal of Typhoid germs, or typhoid plants at moderate or summer temperature, may live for outside of the body, may live for outside of the body, and in milk which is allowed to stand at moderate or summer temperature, within a few hours, because milk is within a few hours, because milk is for the growth of their growth, as it will be understood, of course, that little it will be, so small that several million of them are spaced very comfortably in a dron of under the finger-nail to infect half of them, might harbor enough of them under its finger-nail to infect half of them, might harbor enough of them on their feet if they have the opportunity of getting them on it. It must be remembered that typhoid groups are living, reproducing plants rich in growth, not rich in growth from our bodies. In their must take their own growth, they not only take their own growth, but they produce poisons, body cells, but they produce poisons, body cells, but they produce poisons, usick and often kill. This, of course, is true of many; in fact, of most diseases The pasterurization, or boiling for a few minutes, of milk and the boline will remove all danger from tphid fever, will remove all danger from tphid fever, and other water-borne diseases, is an important thing to remember. The swallowtown tphid fever genus has tphid fever, neither does every pernicious devotion an inflammation of the skin. Just why this is true, we do not definitely know it, but it is, nevertheless, known. NEGRO HARLEM HOPES FOR A CONGRESSMAN! By FRANK R. CROSSWAITH Among politically minded Haremites the one absorbing question being discussed today is the possibility of sending to congress a Negro representative, a district which is located in the heart of Negro Harlem. The recent death of Congressman Royal H. Weller, white Democrat, and the more recent speech made in Harlem by Congressman White Democrat, have started the political pot abolition. At this writing, it is not definitely known whether Governor Roosevelt will call a special election to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Weller's death. He will take place in the coming mayoral election in the fall. In either case, the fight to have the premier Negro community of the world represented in the lower house of the nascent state will be the most of the bitterly fought political battles in the history of Harlem. The result will indicate, in a most tangible way (so each the alleged race consolences brethren), whether the much more popular birthplace is admitted Harlem—can at least follow the example set by his brother in the Windy City and add one more Negro voice to the babel of tongue waving in Washington, or the man to speak for black Harlem. While it is undeniably true that a Negro in congress tends to quicken our racial pulse and inspire Negro youth, nevertheless, fundamentally, it matters but little whether the next generation will be white or black American, the questions of transcending importance to be asked are where will the new congressman stand with regard to certain basic problems now affecting the producing masses of the nation? What is his attitude on the economic, social, and political pressing issues and the world for a solution? Is he in favor of imperialism—economic and political? Will he as a congressman speak in the nation's capital for the producing masses, black and white, who in the absence of Honorable V. L. Bergman, a spokesman there? Will he if a Negro speak and act for the small handful of men and women who now own and control the economic, social and political destiny of the nation? Will he, if white, use his powers in behalf of the same whose economic run counter to the interest of the Negro will he feel with Lincoln that labor THEATERS AND PERFORMERS BIG AND LITTLE DANCER SAYS SHE WAS BORN TO GIVE THE WORLD BREAK Else Turner has one of those personalities which the short-story writers call infection. She so impressed her for the Associated Negro Press, who wanted to Warren McGraw motion picture director. He took a few days ago to have a chat with her, a little dancing star just bubbling over with "it". A brief introduction to their chat, or interview, Mr. Leavevite asked her where she was born, when, and by whom. "Who first? Utterly unashed, she who was born to give the world that's what this girl child, eighty years old now, dances all the eyes, eyes, eyes, and her body, thinks of her mission in life. She has caught the vision, mirth and mirth of others and entwined hastily into what some people have Miss Turner, who, it may be noted, is known as the name, is better known as a member of vans dancing team than as the participant star; the move is the most popular of the four, and not a Cowan, merely the fourth member of the team which includes the two Cowan members. "They picked me up in Chicago, in Iowa, to live around Forty-fifth Street and Indiana Avenue, and my folks had a sort of grocery store there. When they came to live nearby and used to come by our store to purchase vegetables. They were the store I was always making up. They were short of a girl on their team and tried to get me to go. When they came to the screen on a tour of the West that finally carried us to Australia, she can now be seen on the screen all over the world." "Hers is Divie," the Production which starved Stepin Fetchit and Chance Muse. Her second is Warwick, where she is in which Miss Elizabeth Waters makes her debut. "She has been an instant hit wherever she has been shown, and the customary comment at the studies where she works it." "Gee, that but is superior to capital and therefore is entitled to a prior consideration. What will be the new congressman's attitude toward more and better housing facilities for workers in the city, and toward the pension, and toward the whole stream of social legislation now forging to the front in all parliaments of the world? These are some of the questions which should be asked the candidates and their parties by the voters of the city. How should they strive to choose their next congressman. And perhaps in the asking they may discover the fact that upon these questions the candidate must stand where his party stands and that his party stands where those who finance it require it to stand. Mr. Asymbrym E. A. Johnson, who was the first known Negro to be elected to the New York assembly, have announced his candidacy. Mr. Johnson made a credible run against Mr. Weller in the last election and is added to the list of candidates of white fellow Republicans the political apathy of the Negro electorate. The Socialist party, which has always recognized the right of the government to have a voice in their government and whose candidates for election have been Negroes, will again nominate a Negro Socialist. In the last campaign Dr. E. R. Bebek Brown, graduated of Meadville Theological Seminary and now pastor of the Hubert Harrison Memorial Church, was the winner of the Brown campaign was considered a unique one in that, without the expenditure of a parity, he conducts Angela, an educational campaign and increased the Socialist vote to over 50%. Brown is a regular lecturer of the School of Social Sciences and the advisory board of the United Colored Socialists of America. The identity of the nominee of the Democratic party is not unknown. While there are several white Democrats, one of them a woman, seeking the nomination, there is an unmistakable a demand among Negro voters to demand that one be selected. Whether or not the leaders of the party will head the cry of their black Democratic brethren, remains to be seen. However, by and large, a political campaign which promises to stir to its depth our otherwise staid and complacent Negro Harlem is now in the making. happy to see the 'kick' she gets out of of. She's probably right—she was born to give the world a break.

His renditions of the Italian songs, to old and modern French songs and a group of English songs, included a concluding with a well-chosen group of Negro spirituels by Burleigh and the Boston Transcript in its comment of Mr. Johnson's musical ability as follows: "In his recital at Jersey City, he sang with great assurance, excuseful phrasing, and increased sensitivity to rhythm. He applied himself earnestly to the task, feeling for flowing Italian style." Volunteer State Given Help From Rosenwald Fund Jackson, Tenn.—(ANP)—Just what the aid given by the Rosenwald Fund had meant to the Madison County Training School, was related to the members of the county board of education here Tuesday, when the institution entertained the board members at the annual dinner. R. E. Clay, the principal speaker, and state agent for the Rosenwald Fund, pointed out that through the beneficence of Julius Rosenwald, Chicago philanthropist, the school now boasted of one of the best plants and best faculties in the state. What was being done for the Madison County Training School, was being done for thousands of schools throughout the South, Mr. Clay declared. Among the improvements at the institution during the past year, as outlined by Mrs. F. A. Dobbins, principal, were the remodeling of the teachers' home and the installation of an electric and heating plant, which was purchased by the Negroes of the county. Mr. Clay in his appeal for more aid from the county and state, urged the officials to make the school a grade A high school and J. L. Harris, county superintendent, intimated in his remarks that the plan was now under way. In 1928 there were about 3,419,157 citrus trees of all kinds in the lower Rio Grande vales.

A small entrance fee is required and, in case of a case, predicated on the those of good moral character, are such as reasonably in keeping with the standards of the case, predicated on the those of good moral character, are available to residents who are also provided with modest benefits. The limited benefits while in residence. The home has around the communal office of the Negro community of Puffin Island, the city of the city of Richmond, is apparently a pioneer in the field of Negro fraternal home for the aged, who bind themselves together for the purpose of preaching the principle of moral and social improvement, with at least one home and library. If they are at the close of their ninety years, MERCHANT, BRUNK KILLS HIS FRIEND Chester, S. Q.—(AND)—Business and social circles were shocked here Sunday when "Red Adams' prominent merchant, shot and killed William Ferris, in a drunken lull, The shooting occurred at the home of Gil Robinson, where a little party was in session. Adams arrived late and according to his辞呈, called in and immediately began shooting at Ferris, one bullet penetrating the injured man's long, causing his death. In the excitement Adams escaped. No reason for the shooting could be ascertained as Ferris died without regaining consciousness and Adams is still at large, although others expect to capture him within a short time. Friends of the two men express the belief that Adams did not know what he was doing as he was unmistakably drunk when he walked into the house.

At a time of all times when coordinated and concerted action is required the race is involved in political turmoil. There is no indication or order out of the surrounding channe. President Hoover's administration seems destined to be apocalyptic. He has been called upon to enforce the enforcement of law. Beginning with prohibition he dare not stop short of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. He is involved in the meshes of his own logic. He has been called upon to hold of the gospel plow of obedience to law. Neither Mr. Hoover nor the other may longer select the portions of the constitution which they choose to hold of the law of the law enforcing departments of the government. Mr. Hoover has grown dorsal in passive acquiescence with laicism. The moral scandal to the nation and to the world. The sacred public conscience has been broken and has been trodden. "Go to it," she says, "let the curtains of representation be lowered. Mr. Hoover's right to vote go by the board. Why precipitate trouble among the Negroes in the question of rights of the Negroes are concerned?" But also, in *vin* we call our concu- sions judge, and shape our notions willments will not budge, and staining will continue stealing.

Mr. Hoover ory while accepting the support of fanatics and bigots. It was in this splinterment. After all has been said and done, the United States has consulted South in his consultation of the fifteenth amendment and the first section of the fourteenth will constitute the Constitution. South will be the administration. The enforcement of the eighteenth amendment but paves the way. Under the original reconstruction the counsel and consultation of the Negro race had not at that time advanced beyond the ABC's of political science.

So far as I can learn, no Negro was let into the secret plans of the Republican manipulators concerning their policy in the South. No Negro orator or spell-killer, no American or American-style South in the carried to open his black-mason and Dixie line. Negro politicians of the older persuasion were wrangling among themselves as to who should or who should not manage the colored contingent in the North, but were left in total darkness as to who should or who should not manage the South. Three weeks ago I attended the John R. Hawkins banquet with open ears and an attentive mind. I had expected that this was to be a feast of union and leadership among those who assume to guide the political fortune of the race. I was ready to see the great Northern states, where the campaign for the campaign leading committee was starting, and the spokesman for the race in matters political. My disappointment was painful to the point of chagrin. No political celebrity registered his presence. The leading rights of the great Northern states, where the campaign for the campaign leading committee was starting, No Southern leader was there to put in his bill of complaints. Mr. Hawkins' 919-word memorandum to Mr. Hoover seemed to express mainly his personal view without being backed up by the solid and concerted support of the South. The South was that forty "leaders" have sent in similar memoranda. It must be said of Mr. Hawkins' four propositions that they were sufficiently comprehensive and inclusive, but not sufficiently pointed, and dramatic to challenge the观点. The fate of Mr. Hawkins' predecessor and his seventeen points will furnish an awful warning. The question is vital. Will the race, through its organized political strength in the states, North and South, hold up the hands of Mr. Hawkins, or will they be left stretched in the air holding 919 words of important sermonizing? Merely because Work set up a colored coordinating committee and appropriated $100,000 to hold the restless recalcitrants in line, will not of itself establish political leadership unless the substantial support of the race stands back of Mr. Work's choice. Mr. Raskob set up a similar committee for similar purpose and appropriated a like sum of money, but neither the one case nor the other will or can ordain race political leadership without the common consent of the led. Mr. Hoover will pay no mind to a leader whom the people will not follow. At such a critical time as this, when the political fate of the race is at stake, it would be the part of common prudence to uphold the man on the inside track. One voice means more than many, if that voice be the compound of them all. Many irrelated voices antagonize and neutralize each other. I would say, let the race speak to Hoover through Mr. Hawkins, if he will hear Hawkins; if not select another whom he will hear and heed another who will hear the whole race. The race is in great peril for want of political vision. A single commanding consummate leader at this critical juncture might help guide Mr. Hoover wisely amidst the intracacles of his political program, and at the same time secure to the Negro a TODAY'S RECIPE Few gratings orange rind 1 teaspoon orange juice 1 teaspoon salt 1 orange 2 teaspoon butter 2 teaspoon sugar Beat the orange slightly, adding the orange rind and juice and salt.

But Mrs. Banks demurs when given that title and asserts that for the better part of forty-three years she has been a real wife to Mr. Banks, admitting "only down in Georgia, you know, we couldn't marry." But she contends that there has been real love present all the while, ever since that moonlight night more than forty-three years ago when he came from Atlanta, Ga., to Griffin, Ga., after her and the two of them talked it over in a tryst sprang on the campus of the boys' college. Then, Further, Mrs. Banks states that Mr. Banks' white relatives all knew of the position she held in regard to him, acknowledged it, and submitted to it until two years ago when they decided to come North and effect a legal union. They were married in July, 1927, in Chicago. With their marriage, whatever hopes Mr. Banks' white relatives might have had of succeeding to him, they went aglimmering and the court action which resulted in the appointment of a conservator was their first step in a battle to get control of the Banks' estate. Banks is 79 years old and was graduated from Yale University on the campus of Griffin, Ga., fifty-eight years ago. Banks, who was honored to be a member of the Civil War, was honored to holdings were relatively relied to be in excess of one million dollars. More recently, he has been given to his wife.

But the appointment of the conservator does not end the battle.

He said that he had been drinking something stronger than water. He offered the hospitality a lift and the offer was accepted. As Yellock made himself comforted the sheriff, "Pretty good in drinking more?" "Sure," replied the hospitality, "he produced a fruit jar of North Carolina "mountain dew." As a result the sheriff took charge of the trainer for corn liquor in these parts, and he killed in the county jail here.

Judge Scipio A. Jones and his cohorts have injected "new life" into political activities and Bishop W. T. Vernon has done the same thing in the religions and educational development. The judge has brought such speakers as Congressman and President Oscar DePriest of Illinois and Alderman Louis B. Anderson of Chicago to the city to explain "how politics are run" in the metropolis of the Middlewest and from all indications the group here has taken the advice which these political leaders gave them. Bishop Vernon has organized the entire state for the promotion of education and religious development.

R. WILLIAMS) In the parlance of the street, the man sure knew his vegetables, when he said, "Hell is paved with good intentions." This was thoroughly demonstrated to me, last Sunday when I arose with the intention of resuming my visits to the churches which I have as yet not visited in compliance with my New Year's resolution. But I did go to Sunday school at the church where my membership still remains, and if I were reporting to the newspaper, I would say, "Sunday school last Sunday was good; the superintendent and his staff of teachers were at their posts of duty. The lesson was well taught, and the pastor reviewed the lesson." But right there I would tell a big fib, if I said the pastor was present and reviewed the lesson, as he was out of the city, preaching an inaugural sermon. (I beg pardon, it was an installation sermon at Dallas.) Right here comes into my mind, another old saying which fits my case, another old saying which away the mue will play. "Now, it is current news, that my wife is out of work, the pastor was in Dallas, and one would be safe in quotes the above adage in church as I intended. But since there were two persons involved in this away affair, and my son is an unmarried one, which one can be an im referring to when I say, while the cat was away I went to, an unmarried one, which one can be an im referring to when I say, while the cat were away, this mouse went out to play, I can be old, what do you mean, don't say while the cats were away, if my wife would look, "Look here, old fellow, what do you mean, will have to say will be, "Why, my little chicken, how could you imagine that I could refer to you as a married man out of a tight place, and very few object to being called their old man's chicken. Now, if the seen fit to refer to your pastor as a cat? It would be very easy amurried and deeply hurt, that you should think it would refer to be a cat as tall as You, if you, I would stop running until I ran into the cat was all fixed up, and I am not afraid to reiterate that on last Sunday while the cat was away, this mouse did After Sunday school, I knew I would be awfully lonesome at home, and as misery loves company, I with malice aforethought, did conspire to steal from his home the husband of a good unsuspecting lady of the Third Ward, and "take him for a ride," in his own car. It took me sometime to decide just where I would take George H. Webster, but I finally picked out Beaumont as the place I would visit, for the simple reason that I hadn't in all my long residence in Houston, even passed through this little city. Before we got out of Houston, we decided that we would make it hard for still another husband, so we drove through Lyons Avenue Park addition and kidnapped William M. Spivey, and "took him for a ride." Leaving Houston around 1 o'clock, we arrived in Beaumont about 3, and having no particular place nor person in mind to impose on, we simply drove around until we thought of paying our respects to Dr. and Mrs. S. M. Pernetter, on Ewing Street, but found the doctor out and Mrs. Pernetter in bed ill. As we were driving back down Glady Avenue, which seems to be the San Felipe of Beaumont, we were hailed by an old Houstonian, Mrs. Annie Dixon-Ford, who took us in and gave us a most delightful hour or so. Mrs. Dixon and her husband are engaged in the undertaking business, and from all appearances are dozen wonderfully well. From the Ford establishment we drove out Céline's Ferry Road to Ted's, Mrs. J. L. Kirkwood.

S. government instituted cooperative agriculture in the 1950s, it encountered a greater consumption of agricultural products than it encountered a spirit of general discontent among farm folks. The young people wanted to farm for women and clients. This discontent was won in a large measure, the crop war. To overcome this discontent so rapidly increasing among the farming people, it was necessary to prove that the crop war was not a problem could be gained from improved methods. When extension service first began among Negroes in Texas, conditions on farms were for the most part a slack-sided manner, the same crops being planted year after year in the same fields. The main crops attempted. The five new stock found on the farm, which they worth their keep. Only a small variety of vegetables was grown, those being consumed in the fresh Among the first things attempted early in entry into diversification and rotation, improved seeds, better and more live stock and poultry, fruits and vegetables in larger quantities, food preparation and preservation, and to carry on extension work in Texas. At present there are 146 Negroes, including supervising agents and clerks, with three counties each with a farm and a agent, while others have only a farm agent or only a home demonstration. The good that has been done by these workers can be appreciated only people in counties where extension service is carried on with conditions in counties that do not have the serv- At least fifty per cent of the homes owned and occupied by Negroes in counties where there are extension representatives show some form of improvement. This improvement consists of better general upkeep, repairing and painting of old homes, addition of rooms, windows, doors, etc., and the building outright of strictly modern, spacious dwellings. Better poultry and live stock are to be found; diversified crops are now grown; feed crops are grown to feed the live stock; more yield in all crops is being produced on fewer acres; food stuffs are being conserved for winter use; health and sanitation have improved 100 per cent, and untold good along many other lines has been done for the colored farm folk through extension service. In fact, the "Live At Home" movement put on by the extension workers has become a kind of contagion, and the spirit is being caught by the farm people to an appreciable degree. Commissioners' courts, chambers of the judiciary, and appointed organizations are the face that extension service in a county is a spitalized investment, bringing happiness, comfort, and contented citizen happy, and contented citizen prosperity to the county fostering the ability of the county to serve for the service, and the department hopes to be able to serve every county in Texas where a sufficient number of extension services is needed, the benefit of extension service, with the support of living among them, thus ensuring better education, an increase in the rural population. In the early days of Texas, cattle were so cheap they were killed for the hides alone.

AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention Constituency Advised To Attend Meeting Called By Receiver BY REV. E. L. HARRISON Houston, Texas To All the Churches Which Hold Membership in the Baptist Mission- sion of Texas, Fountain and Leaders I feel called upon as one of the leaders in Texas to express to you my views at this stage of our denom- ational crisis. With our convention bankrupt and in the hands of the Five-seventh District Court, Fort River, Houston. We are the Negro race is on trial. After sixty years, the fort and sacrifice to build a denom- ational organization and hundreds of denominations and race to build schools and do miliary work. we are face to face. We are in the land of the lowers, such as the Bears, Campbell, Elkhurst, Yates, Lightes, Barbour, Burroughs, Pacey, Pardee and a host of others. The receiver announces an indebtedness of $75,000. Those who are de facto executives of the convention, according to information from the records, have decided to sell and merge with Bishop College the entire educational interest of the convention. I am a Bishopie; I have dear old Bishop as well as any alumnus! I am willing to support her, but I am unwilling to consent to this gross reflection upon the race and denomination. If we have failed, and we have, why not be courageous enough to reorganize, select new leaders whom the people can trust and will follow, and try again? Why should any man or men be indulged to destroy the denomination in order to try to lead a people who will not follow them? Why not let the people speak for themselves as a democratically governed people? Why don't the people speak? I am, therefore, urging every Baptist church, regardless of whom you have supported during these years of ex-to-send in your credentials naming your messengers to the meeting called by the receiver in Fort Worth, April 30, with Mr. Zan Baptist Church, Rev. A. W. Pryor, pastor. You are a stockholder in this corporation and anybody who instructs you to stay away and not know the truth about your property, your convention, when the court says to you come and let me tell you the condition of your affairs, and if you do not do something we will sell it and pay your debts, that somebody is deceiving you. Why can't you go? For what reason would any one tell you not to look after your own business, do you suppose? The court wants to ask your advice: Shall we sell your property, or do you want a chance to redeem it? No one of us can answer this question—the uninhibited body must do it. Do not be deceived, Mr McDonald is not my receiver, I did not name him nor suggest his naming; Judge Bruce Young appointed him—he is his receiver. And Judge Young has decreed that our creditors be paid, and Judge Young is right. I know what a reflection it is on us to be made to pay our debts but many of us are innocent and we did not know we owed so much. From year to year our leaders have said to us, "Give us so many thousand dollars and we will be out of debt," and many times we have given the requested amount. How shocked I was to learn that we owed so much money, but I am unwilling to give up because of my shock. I am one Baptist preacher in Texas, and not the only one that has an audience. I am not a speeches, canvassed for no votes, but have not run from them when threat upon me. I have supported the work of our church as an advocate as in larger arms from our church than any in the audience, and no advocacy for doing an I am opposed to corrupt practices of any man or men in running our convention, and not for the sake of office. I pledge my support to any man the majority of the messengers of the churches of the convention will select as long as he will conduct the business of the convention honestly. I am openly opposed to any man who resurps the office at the hands of corruption in election or in management. I do not give up such a stand for any office or honor within the demonstration, state or national. I prefer to stand for the right barred on the outside of the organizations of our denomination then to dwell in the tents of the corrupt. Let the churches go to Fort Worth, Tuesday, April 30, and take a stand not for me but for right and save the cause. Let us associate men with the cause as a means to an end and not as an end. Let us eliminate prejudice, ministerial jealousy, sectional jealousy and fight for principles; things that endure. Forget who you are, where you live, but think about what you stand for and what you can do to promote the cause. The day for a purchased suffrage in the church of Jesus should never be paid supporters. Machine government breeds sin and poverty to the government: eliminate "For Zion or Jerusalem" from my heart for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest until the righteousness thereof go to the church thereof as a lamp that burns.

APRIL 13. 1929 DURHAM AWAITS NOTED DOCTORS CONFERENCE OF OF BOTH GROUPS NEGRO LEADERS ATTEND CLINIC Durham, N. C.—(ANP)—With all plans completed Durham and the citizens of Durham are now "resting on their ears" awaiting the host of fact finders who will invade this city to attend the second annual Fact-Finding Conference which will be held here April 17, 18, and 19. According to the statement made public here Tuesday by the committee on arrangements, headed by Dr. J. E. Shepard, president of the North Carolina College for Negroes, C. C. Spaulding, and W. G. Pearson, nationwide interest in the movement is at fever heat and when the spotlight is thrown on the problems faced by the group in the United States, there will be a large number of expert analyzers on hand to "conduct the clinic." “We were very much encouraged over the outcome of the initial Fact-Finding Conference, held here last year,” said Dr. Shepard, “and from all indications the meeting this year will eclipse that of last year. The responses have been large, and we expect many leaders in various walks of life to attend.” To prevent any "clash of dates" the National Negro Press Association has postponed the annual meeting of the press group until May. This move on the part of the members of the fourth estate has been interpreted as evidence of the national interest manifested in the Fact-Finding Conference. Negro Elementary Schools Register Marked Progress Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—Negro elementary and secondary education in public and private schools has made more progress in the past nine years than in any like period of history. According to Bureau of Education Bulletin, 1928, No. 19, United States Department of the Interior, 2,218,312 Negro pupils were reported in public schools in 18 Southern states in 1928. Of this number 1,055,674 were boys and 1,162,638 were girls. The average daily attendance was 1,563,975. To instruct these children 47,594 teachers were employed, 38,942 women, and 8,652 men.

The increasing growth of schools has made a corresponding demand for teachers. This demand has caused increases in salaries, which, however, do not yet equal the average of $1,277 paid both by teachers through out the United States. CORSICANA Corsicaan, Texas—Mrs. W. L. D.

In that the person on trial is guilty, this improper thing is what Herbert the press says: he says that patronage has been unlawfully handled in those offices there unless the federal people or means of disposing of federal offices there unless the federal people remedy this condition, which can be construed as an abuse of the person or men or trial and oust him or them from political and patronage. This editorial of mine is not a mistake, anybody, and the president should not cast his influence into the balances while a citizen, and fellow-partisan of the president, would have been equally improper, and hurtful, for Mr. Hoover to have issued a statement that everything was all right with the old party machines in those offices, the backing of the administration. In such a case official, nonjudicial, approval or disapproval is equally But the result of Hoover's attack might react against his evidence in a acquaintance for those on trial.

(ANP) - An analysis of editorial comment and personal opinion on the policy of developing the Republican party in the South, tends to show that the party has stated recently meets with the approval of the提审 with race, citizenship, the Associated Negro League Commission, the Associated Negro League Pittsburgh Courier, declared. "Every intelligent person knows the dual party system is desirable everywhere. The present system employed in the South has brought nothing to the Republican party. It has not only brought nothing to the Ne gro voters, but it has brought down upon the whole group many types of hatred, condemnation and not a little disgrace. "I am not interested in the ambitions of the few, who hide behind the walls of a sound Republican, homestead organized, which will be helpful to me in a sound Republican, who have the common sense to follow." Abbet Refuses To Express Opinion Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, declined to express an opinion on the newspaper propaganda. The Chicago editor declared to a representative that he would not make a statement as to his opinion due to the fact that he would not make a statement. In order to express an opinion the editor said he must know that he would not identify David Hoover in the press of the nation, "ultra authentic." THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1929 ed." said Mr. Abbott. "The statement concerning Mr. Hourson's policy with reference to the South was sent for Mr. Hourson to express an opinion the policy would have to be expressed to me, by Mr. Hourson and the president is not come until the South envisaces the Negro or takes the constitutional White Press Agrees While the white press agreed with the dual party system, the Chicago Democrats supported the idea of a coalition that President Browder would adopt such a policy in October, 1987. The Negro would be "let out," and pointering out the condition under which the Negro could vote in the South, the Tribune states: "The Southern squares to the Republican party, he must first drive the Negro out of the South, both between the slaves and the dry, and the Republican party will be unable to control the Democratic. It will be an unfortunate surrogate of the loyal non-white totalitarian party of the Democratic Party, because it is the Republican party because it gave him the only protection he ever knew; now he is to be byted by his friend. "The upholding of a strong two-party system in the South should not be taken for granted," Negro or takes the constitutionality of reduction of representation. Furthermore, there must be evidence of the right to be given justice in the courts. The Reporter must not compromise with multifacetedism.

C.—(ANP)—This state one of the most progressive in the country, has made side agencies to provide something for its colored children, but has not made such help. Figures just issued on the state's website are a revelation of North Carolina are revelatory of a fine statewide interest and response of both colored and white people. North Carolina's school population is 304,671. Of this number 230,801 are rural, 73,671 city; 263,095 children are enrolled, leaving better than 51,000 who do not attend school. Seven hundred twenty-eight Rosenwald buildings containing 2,150 classrooms which accommodate 96,760 publics have built. The schools cost $4,206,727. The Rosenwald Fund contributed $602,686. Colored people have given $623,263, and white people $74,690. The public school system has contributed $2,906,068. bone, “everyone, North and South will applaud the straightforwardness of Mr. Hoover's policy. It is good politics because it is sound Americanism. It looks forward to no swift purchase of Southern support by the promise of offices, but rather to the gradual development in these states of a genuine alternative to democracy. The creation of such an organization cannot fail to benefit the whole South. In the long run it can scarcely fail to strengthen the realities of American political life.” In discussing the announced policy "cleaning house in the South," the House should be "cleaned," but augments that as far as patiomage is concerned house cleaning. "Mr. Hoover," World, "speaks of abuses in recompensation," and must know that high federal officials have encouraged these improper recommendations, have willingly acted as part of a political transaction by which federal offices are laded out and campaign contributions and delegates. "The whole Southern patronage conducted chilly for the benefit of Republican leaders in Washington and to attack the little Southern traders in the district, suppressing of the discreditable business."

"Up your eyes and look on the fields." -John 4:38. "They that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the truth." -When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, their faith God also to them, and repentance unto life." -Acta 11:18. "I thank God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken throughout the whole world." -Rome. "Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel when I denounced from Maconix, no church communicated with me is concerning giving and receiving."—Phil. 4:15. In the network of our textual basis we have: (1) The philosophy of world conquest in evangelism, and the sharp contrast between the geographic and the psychologic aspect of the field, and the fields herein mentioned; and note: (a) That Matt. 13:38 refers to the geographic scope of the gospel field work of the church and (b) we note that John 4:35 refers to the psychologic aspect of the gospel field work of the church and (c) we observe that the harmony of Matt. 13:38 and John 4:35, reveals clearly the idea of white fields for God in the field of God: For truly the earth, materially, is the Lord's and all of its material and immaterial fullness thereof. With this homistic explanation, (though poor) we proceed to give from the scripture in deductive outline the basis upon which the philosophy of world conquest in evangelism rests and cite as follows: (1) A right conception and definition of the field. Matt. 13:38. (II) A right conception and definition of the fields in the field. John 4:30 and John 4:35. (III) A vigorous and general touring of the field. Acts 8:4. (IV) The receiving of joyous tidings from the fields in the field. Acts 11:18. (V) An open expression of gratitude to God for the victories achieved on the field in the fields. Rem. 12. Our Lord's use of the terms "field" and "place" refers to our place here; the world is the field in which the living souls in the world—as a result of the touch of these living souls in which the gospel of God is destined to work, for but of the touch of these souls longest great fields of tremendous social, political, moral, educational, spiritual, moral, educational, which will never be productive of the fruits of righteousness without being pierced through and through by the plains to plow shares of the gospel of God. And brethren, will we not all be greatly inspired when the time comes that we can hear from every church in the convention as to its glorious success in doing this mighty work. Will the minister (you), my dear brother, as God trusted man to lead that division of His militant group, let us have your report as to the number of persons taken into your church from the Detroit meeting up to the Louisville meeting and from the Louisville meeting up to now, and let us have it at once. If we have only baptized one, or none, let the report be faithful and true, otherwise, (so far as the reading public is concerned) we commit the Holy Spirit to a testimony which He has never made and if no earlier, He will at the judgment of God, like a thunderbolt from the lightning of His righteousness, blats it from our report. (My lie will never help the gospel: Paul.) I am yours for the getting together of the mighty work which the churches are doing throughout the nation in the line of evangelism.

The way for a sinning and divided people to get back to God and be united is around the crucified Lord. The Passover was a memorial of the nation's deliverance through the shedding of the blood of the sacrificial lamb. 1. The invitation was representative of the nation (rv. 2). The king took counsel with the princes and the congregation to show that the proclamation was the expression of the nation's desire. 2. The time was unusual (rv. 24). There was not sufficient time to modify the people, nor to gather them together at the regular time, so they resolved instead of postponing it for a year to hold it on the thirteenth day of the second month. This liberty had been granted before in an citizenry (Num. 9:6-12). 8. The scope of the invitation (v. 5-9). 9. Included all of both nations who would come to keep the Passover to the Lord God of Israel. "Israel" is now used to include both bishops. The effort was also made to include all second-hand. The messengers were authorized to implement the proclamation with urgent exhortation to restore a united nation and put it as part of the will. 11. It touched ancestral memories — "Turn again onto the Lord God." 12. It reached Israel (v. 8). 13. Recalled bitter experience — "He not like your father and brother, who resigned up to desolation, as me" (v. 7). 14. Around learning for cagainst kishtik — "Your brother and children in compassion before their captors" (v. 9). 15. Stirred interest of self-preservation — "So that they shall come again and be with you." 16. Fledged forgiveness (v. 9). 17. Israel's reception of the invitation (v. 10-12). In Israel met with a mitigated reception. 18. Some mocked. The urgent and slaveship invitation only excited opposition and ridicule. 19. The invitation was Jerusalem. In Judah, God gave them one heart to accept the summons to unite in the Lord around the great Pamover. II. The Passover Kept (wv. 13:27). I. Altars removed (wv. 13, 14). In the time of Alut (B23-24) those heathen allies were created to be worthy of the true dest ad traces of nobility must be removed. This voluntary act must be carried out by the king. 2. The Pussyfoot killed (v. 15). The zeal of the people was shown in the case of the priests who were not ready for their task. The priests and Levites enhanced (vv. 15-20). The zeal of the people put to shame the priests and Levites, stimulating their zeal to the law as given by Moses. The Levites then took charge of the Billing of the Passover. Though many of the priests were accepted as well, they were not taken to take part in the most sacred service, they were accepted as well. The Hospitallers, Jesus and His disciples, God accepted the purpose of heart rather than the letter of the law. The praise of glad hearts (vv. 21, 22). They continued serve days with glassees: (1) The Littles and glassees and loud be strummen (v. 21); (2) He Hokkaish speak comforting words to the Levites (v. 21); (2) He commended them and their work to God (v. 21); (3) They made concession of their sins to God (v. 22); (3) They proclaimed prolonged seven days (v. 28-27). The king's object in prolonging the test was to make as much as possible an improvement to the thorough conversion of their mills to God. *Keeping eyes on God* So long as I can keep my eye on God all is well, but I lose sight of Him if I am troubled indeed—Margaret Mary Hakilian. *Wise Work* Wise work is briefly work with God, foolish work in work against God—Ruska. Success Success is chosen your level host; God never did more. C. M. E. CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN LOUISVILLE 1928 Louisville, Ky.—(ANP)—At meeting held recently in Lexington it was announced that the next gen- eral conference would be held in Louisville during May, 1930. There will also be a celebration of the first bishop of denomination who was a Kettuck tae. In 1927 the domestic exports from Texas amounted to $841,000,000. FIRST IN INFLUENCE—PAGE SEVEN It is a significant fact that Scott Nearing's new book "Black America" is printed by the Vanguard Press. New York, and that the copyright is held by the author. Those familiar with the making of books will read between the lines of this statement. For a sociological study, it is most enthralling. It will not be liked. It is too pitifully true to win popular approval and favor—even from the black man, when it might make feel too restive. Certainly the white man is going to call the book unfair, radical, preposterous, incendiary, and yet, a more dispassionate, unvarnished, colder, concise, and exhaustive collection of plain facts have seldom been collected in one volume. And what gives this amazing book greater value in the collection of 159 pictures—reproductions of photographs. Black America is shown working, playing, studying, walking the streets, being exploited in fields and mills living in unspeakable surroundings, being lynched, burned, gathered up in fragments of charred flesh. The pictures are, if possible, even more terribly dispassionate than the statements which precede and follow them. For without expressing hardly a single opinion of his own, or anyone else, Prof. Nearing has made one of the most. damnable indictments of the United States of America that has ever been made. He has merely collected absolute, verifiable facts concerning the Negro since the earlier days of the slave trade, and laid them bare in the pages of his book. He has not said, "Behold this horror" or "Note this injustice" or "Isn't this terrible?" He has merely stated him case, like a good lawyer, who needs neither eloquence nor punygric to win the jury. Therefore, "Black America" will be called radical and inflammatory. For what is simple justices for the white man is preposterous pushing and self-seeking for the black man. What are the elemental evile needs of the white men are incendiary demands of the Negro. What every white man feels is his absolute right under the constitution, he likewise feels is presumptuous for the Negro to suggest for himself. Were the simple, misunderstood facts stated by Prof. Nearing concerning the Negro in America made with truth about any section of the white race, the members would rise and pillage and stay to end their oppression. But the Negro has known and suffered these indignities and injustices for three hundred years and has preserved a racially placid exterior. With subtle irony, Prof. Nearing calls his introduction, "All Men Are Born Equal," and then reminds us that "Black America" deals with the American Negro, "not as a 'social problem,' but as an oppressed race." There are three divisions, the first, "Man Stealing," deals with the beginning of the slave trade, earned by labor shortage in the new American colonies back in the seventeenth century, and carrying the story to 1863, and the 4,500,000 in the country at emancipation. The second section deals with "An Oppressed Race," "Negroes on the Land," "Negroes in Industrial Centers," "Keeping Negroes in Their Place," The third section is called "The Negro Struggle for Freedom." This is followed by an exceedingly interesting collection of statistics called "Important Pacts," a comprehensive bibliography and a satisfying index. A valuable book to keep for desk reference, after it has been read, and not enjoyed, but admired. Some pungent bits are worth recording: "The slave trade was never established as a business until the white man organized it." "The black worker of the South does not own his country. He does not own his Northern workers the worker of the South. He merely lives in it, conforms to the social standards set by its white master, and performs its highest labor tasks. The black women and men and children have been the basis of Southern prosperity for more than one hundred years and are the basis of Southern prosperity today." "Educationally the South punishes children who are born black." Negro business men are usually not engaged in any basic industry. South Africa's businessmen have their banks for the purpose of pushing Negroes forward along the line of business. There are few Negro teachers to whom Negro business men can turn." Negro students are in charge of gaining a living on the land eight, or nine are directly dependent on the wages for their livelihood. Others are employed upon exploiting this man of black labor, and he will spare no effort to obtain his control, be those means political, economic, social. "Economic power is function of the white race. It is the field of activity from which Negroes are almost completely excluded, or far less to be compared." The chapter of "Economic Discrimination" should be quoted in its entirety to be appreciated, may be memorized, and in the rate of pay, is a legal statement, and then follow statistics of rates of pay in all walks of life. Negro teachers to teachers and other professional workers. Tricks of hiring and promotion to teachers and other professional distribution of work; promotion; dismises are discussed without hostility; hold statements of support for them. "Negro Centers in Industrial Citizens are accompanying photographs, and demonstrate every 'white man hang his head in shame.' Negro have not found their ancestors in the South, still a subject race. They must content themselves with the followers in their occupations and in their肆意 anger." "The children of most Negro skilled and semi-skilled workers are fearful of the threat of racism which threatens the health, the well-being and even the life itself to a dehumanizing effect by the great majority of white chil- MEMPHIS DAILY FLAYS TRIBUNE FOR EDITORIAL Memphis, Tenn.—(ANP)—In an editorial appearing in Tuesday's issue of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, the criticism of the Hoover policy South by the Chicago Tribune was scored and the blame for the president's recently stated jolify in the South was fastened on the Chicago daily. Under the caption: "The Tribune and Hoover," the Memphis Commercial Appeal editorial declared: "The Tribune is traditionally anxious about the welfare of the Negro in the South. It is more concerned with the Negro in Mississippi than with the Negro of Chicago's South Side or in the stockyards. An occasional lyching for a heathen crime in the South draws the fire of the Tribune, while scores of Negroes murdered in Chicago for the offense of holding jobs desired by white men are met with strange and chiefly silence on the part of the Tribune." "The Tribune might reasonably claim credit for having inspired the action taken by President Hoover. It was at the Chicago convention when Southern Negro delegates were bought and sold on the hoof that the Tribune became disgruntled with the situation. It called attention to the lack of party respectability in the Republican party in the South." "In response to its urge that something be done the national committee should do, the national public party in Georgia. It made considerable hardship. When the condition was met, the committee sponsored by the national committee and the organization headed by Negroes in Georgia, and the committee contented for recognition. The Negroes of Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio forced the committee on our assistance." "That was the last effort made to clean up the Republican party in the state," he said. "And then the thing the Tulane advocated twelve years ago. We do not believe it. It was not done by Howard. It does not agree with him on the question of publication, law enforcement, or any of the issues that Howard was accused of. He excuses to attack Howard even if it assaults him for the most complacent action he has done since he entered into office." Economically the Negro must pay the penalty for being a Negro. No must pay it in every way. "Every Negro in the United States—every member of the race, irrespective of his qualities or his talents—is exempt ruthlessly into the category of 'racial inferiority,' and held there with all of the power of the superior, exploiting white race." In the matter of social relations the author reminds us that when we have a place to live, we experience, and made to feel shy appearance. In the chapters. "Opening the Profession. Profession. Profession. Nearing the segregation laws of states, North and South, and the situation accompanying photographs are only two bitterness familiar. And the sum of chapters—is delicious: "Nerrous: a member of an inferior race, must be equipped in adding to the plight or profit of the superior white race. The greatest virtue that an American must know is to know a place and stay in it." We know what the chapter on "Lynch Law" is going to be—true stories of atrocities, only too familiar to every Negro. But the grotesque photographs of tortured Negro victims are not so well known. The discussion of the enfranchised Negro is thoroughly done, and the force of political emancipation ruthlessly dealt with. The closing chapter on "Breaking Economic Shackles" comes nearest to expressing the author's personal ideas on the whole subject. Anent the interracial commission: "The Negro masses are to be emancipated through a commission appointed and dominated by whites, and on which labor is unrepresented." And finally, "There can be no victory for the working-class while workers are divided along race lines. Black and white workers must stand together for working-class emancipation." Prof. Scott Nearing's name has long been a synonym for dangerous radicalism. That is because he speaks the truth as he finds it. His latest book will not be popular with the near-sociologists; the interracial workers who feel they have done a strenuous bit when they listen to a few Negro spirituals by some school jubilee singers; the palm-singing employer, who refuses the Negro any job in his factory save that of sweeper, while he gives thousands to foreign missions; the social workers who close their eyes to underlying causes of conditions, while they prepare papers on the shiftlessness and dirt of Negro quarters; the professional uplifters who have forgotten that the principle of segregation established in the kindergarten will bear bitter fruit in the university, the advocates of interracial relations, whose advocacy stops absolutely short of honest acceptance of the Negro's real worth in the body politic. To none of these will Scott Nearing's "Black America" be acceptable. It is true to exhaustive; its truth too pitiless. DETROIT FLAMES CLAIM SIX LIVES Detroit, Mich.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 19299 WHAT ABOUT TEXAS, MR. PRESIDENT? Last week, in discussing, editorially, President Herbert Hoover's public statement condemning the Republican leadership in South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia, and praising the party leadership and policy in several other Southern states, including Texas. The Informer stated that this paper feared that Mr. Hoover was rather premature in his pronouncement, and that he should have waited until he had been in the presidential chair before he could speak. The informer also said "intolerable conditions" amongst patriarch leaders in Dixie. Before the ink was dry on the paper containing said editorial (marked copy of which was mailed the chief executive), the senatorial patronage investigation committee, headed by Senator Brockhart of Iowa, disclosed that he had in its possession information and affidavits laying the fact that certain Ku Klux Klan leaders of Texas are alleged to have paid the titular head of the Republican party in this state, the sum of $2,000 to get the name of Dr. George C. Butte, Austin professor, on the Republican ticketer governor in opposition to the M.A. Burgus, the Democratic governor of the hooded order. If federal offices have not been bartered and trafficked in Texas, why did over 300 postmasters and other federal office-holders make out notes to the Texas Republican organization between May, 1921, and January 1, 1922, for the sum of $6,000? According to testimony submitted to the senatorial investigation committee by Congressman Harry M. Wurzbach, Republican representative from the Fourteenth Congressional District of Texas, notes totaling more than $300,000 were made payable to the Craeger regime during the Harding-Cooleidge administrations; the same amount was paid to the coffees of the Texas G. O. P. chieftains by federal appointees during this period. If these federal office-holders were voluntary contributors to the party exchequer in Texas, why did they obligate themselves by making out notes to the party leaders? In this note-making practice pursued in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky and Tennessee, some of the states involved in the partition affairs was so highly commended by the president? If party leaders of a state will sell the gubernatorial nomination to the highest bidder, where no primary election is held, as is alleged in the Butte incident in 1924, when the Creager machine literally forced P. T. Lee of Houston to decline the gubernatorial nomination after the Houston Republican had issued a statement to Mrs. Ferguson which incurred the wrath and disdain of Mr. Creager. Mr. Creager would also attach a financial consideration to federal offices? During the memorable gubernatorial race between Dr. Butte and Mrs. Ferguson in 1924, the Informer refused to support the Austin educator and contended that he was not a Republican, but a "dan candidate," and this paper further charged that an unholy alliance and under-cover agreement had been entered into by the governor, a state lawmaker. If it is a fact that a group of ku kluxes at Beaumont made up a $20,000 fund and gave same to Creager in 1924 to get Dr. Butte's name on the Republican ticket for governor, and that Creager later demanded and exacted another $5,000 for the (the money being borrowed from a Dallas bank on a note by Z. E. Marvin), as alleged in communications from white Texans now in the hands of the Brookkart committee, then Mr. Butte's fiscally friched party leadership which is as mercenary and venal, if not more so, than that in the three Dickie states literally read out of the party by President Hoover. We wonder if President Hoover knows that the Republican party leaders in Texas have made no real effort to build up a strong party in this state, and that the fact that Texas went Republican in the last presidential election was due to the religious issue. Does the president realize the fact that had not the Democratic party nominated Governor Alfred E. Smith, a Catholic, his vote in the South would have been as negligible as that received by all his Republican predecessors? We wonder if Mr. Hoover has been given the "low down" on the Texas situation among Republicans? What did the president do to the parting of the ways with Congressman Wurzbach, and why has the G. O. P. state organization been working with might and main since 1926 to bring about the congressman's defeat? ISN'T THE QUESTION OF FEDERAL PATRONAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS BITTER POLITICAL FEUD BETWEEN THESE REPUBLICAN LEADERS? What does President Hoover know about the primary fiasco conducted in Texas by the Creager machine in 1926, when the polls were located at secret places and only adherents and supporters of the Creager dynasty were permitted to cast a vote? Why did Congressman Wurzbach, running for renomination in his district, receive more votes in 1926 than the Creager gubernatorial candidate? Haven't both of the major political parties bartered federal orbits, and isn't the practice accepted generally as being the ortho- --- dox political procedure and partisan vogue, and isn't it a part of our spoils system? If we are to have honesty and integrity in the conduct of partisan affairs, Mr. President, suppose we start at the fountainhead; and why all this straining at a gnat and try to swallow a snail? The Informer has no fight to wage with President Hoover and Republican party leaders for their futile desire to build up a strong Republican party in Dixie commonwealth, but it strikes this paper that even the chief executive of the nation should have waited and gathered all the facts before rushing to print with his recent statement upon "patronage abuses" and "intolerable conditions" among certain party leaders in the South. In the light of developments, exposures and revelations concerning leadership in the Lone Star State, as disclosed recently by the Brooklyn coding committee, the President wishes to ask the following query: WHAT ABOUT TEXAS, PRESIDENT HOVER? HOUSTON'S FARCICAL FIASCO! Monday, April 8, 1929, was general election day in Houston, when the mayor, four city commissioners and city controller, nominated (but in reality elected) in the December "white man's primary," were "elected" to office. According to returns at hour of writing this editorial, less than 3,000 citizens went to the trouble of going to the polls and casting their ballots for the Moniteh ticket; whichpathy and lethality in the election there is conclusive proof that, under the existing political system, the majority, the nomination in such a primary is tantamount to election. When the Holcombe and Moniteh forces were arrayed against each other in battle formation last fall, as the former sought reelection and vindication, and the latter hurled the weight of his influence to gain the coveted prize, the entire white citizenry became unduly excited, and a hectic and torrid political campaign was the result. But when the supposed "real election" was held Monday, hardly a corporal's guard considered the event of sufficient consequence to even warrant them going out of their way to exercise their right. Such a situation is fought with many dangers, and, unless Houston adopts another system of choosing its city officials, the city is going to wake up some morning after such a fiasco and discover that it has been sleeping entirely too long. If some 3,000 or more voters had decided to go to polls Monday and write in the names of their choice for mayor, city commissioner and city controller, it would have been a different tale to and such action is easily within the realm of the possible. The fact that the mayor and city commissioner ways dislambanced at the "white man's primary", are going to rise in their wrist one of these April election days and employ their pencils to sound the death-knell to this undemocratic and un-American method of choosing public servants. At the last moment the retiring and incoming municipal administration can cast the charter and annexation propositions which were to have been made Monday, and thus the voters will have a chance later to either approve or defeat measures for increasing the salaries of the mayor, commissioners and controller, and extending the corporate limits. As farcial fines, Houston's general election last Monday caused the climax, and revealed again that Houston is the major city in Texas which still elects its municipal officials through and by minority rule, disfranchisement and proscription. Party labels absolutely nothing in other Texas cities when tional and inherent right to go to the polls and express their prefessing city officials, all the voters being given their constitence for such officials where their votes count and are a defining factor either in the election or defeat of certain candidates. BUSINESS MEN'S GOODWIL TOUR The first of a series of goodwill tours, planned by the Houston Business Men's Club, of which James B. Grigby is president, was made Monday to Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College, where the greater portion of the day was spent in inspecting the work being done at this institution of learning and in encountering this between the faculty and student body of the school and the teachers. Similar jamms have been made quite often by business men of the white race, but this marks the first time in the history of the colored business men of Houston when such a trip has been made, and much good should result, both to the state college and the business interests of Houston, from Monday's visit to Prairie View College. Hundreds of Houstonians have frequently visited this state school to attend athletic contests, commencement programs and other events, but few of them have ever had the opportunity to attend a first-hand knowledge of the fine work being done at Prairie View. Representing an investment of fully $2,000,000; comprising a campus of 1,300 acres; having the largest college enrollment of any colored college in America, except Howard University, Washington, D. C.; boasting of the largest summer school among Negroes in the world; with some of the leading institutions of learning in the country represented on its faculty, teaching, touching and shaping the lives of more than 1100 students. Prairie View College is not only the largest Negro land-grant college in America, but also the largest in the educational field that is indeed commendable and noteworthy under certain adverse conditions and trying circumstances. With a colored population around the 800,000 mark, Texas should have a real university for Negroes, and the state legislature should adopt a more liberal policy in its biennial appropriations for this colored state school. The new law could not be converted into a university so easily, but it could be operated as an agricultural and vocational school on the present site, and the other departments could be located in some large Texas city, and no better city can be found than "Heavenly Houston." Without manifesting a selfish spirit, the Informer thinks that the friends of Negro education should begin an agitation to make Prairie View a university, with departments of law, medicine, surgery, pharmacy, business administration and such courses as the college of nursing and the standardized university, located in some city in the Lone Star State. State pride should impel us to contend for such an institution of learning, so that our youth can be trained within the confines of their own state, just like the white youth of Texas are trained and educated. The white youth of Texas do not find it necessary to leave the state youth; but colored youth, if their career save that of teaching, must journey to other states in this special training, and thus Texas loses many of its products as a result of the state's failure to provide such courses for all of its citizens. The Negro race must have physicians, surgeons, dentists, pharmacists, lawyers, business men and other leaders just like any other race in this state; and if the great commonwealth of Texas can provide such courses and its white youth, the Informer can provide such courses and its white youth. The Informer can consciously and consistently object to the state making the same provisions for its colored youth. OPINIONS PRESIDENT HOOVER'S DUAL TASK Mr. Hoover is president of the American people and head of the Republican party. As president of the nation his sworn duty is to enforce the constitution in its integrity and in all of its parts and provisions. He has heroically declared his purpose to do this. His proposed law enforcement commission challenges the admiration of every true citizen who believes that the law is the only way to ensure the purpose of this commission is to make a survey of the whole field of the machinery of law enforcement and to suggest where the weak points might be strengthened. Immediately upon the announcement of this high purpose, I suggested the appointment of a colored member for highly special reasons. Such an assignment would give the Negro double assurance of the best result. He proposed the setting of the law of which violation and annulment he is the chief victim. It would seem highly appropriate that a Negro should form a part of the body to investigate the breaking down of the machinery of law because he knows precisely where the shoe pinches. He can point to the sore spot with the intuitive certainty of inside information. The selection of a colored man on this commission would go far to respond to the question of whether the Negro's mind concerning the far-reaching purpose of the president's recently announced Southern policy. On its face, it would seem to encourage, support and sustain the lily-white program which is determined to sidetrack the Negro and thus deprive him of his constitutional rights. The elevation of a member of the race to this important station would be a great省力 to the mind of the Negro that Mr. Hoover's proposed political reconstruction is not intended to belittle him as a political force, but is based upon far-seeing statenamship. first section of the fourteenth amendment. President Hoover has undertaken a stupendous task, to uphold the constitution and to build up a competitive political organization in the South. To many, it seems that he has taken hold at the wrong end. If he would enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, the Republican party would take care of itself. On the other hand, if he succeeds in building up two rival white men's parties, will the constitution then be observed? This is but a matter of speculation and hope.

It is unfortunate that too much enforcement program, some other issue, has been taken up by them dominant consideration. Before Mr. Hoover has gone very far with his enforcement program, some other issue has been choked out its special purpose. It hardly think that prohibition will remain the hands of the American people until it has been made the dominant issue. Abraham Lincoln was elected on one issue only—the limitation of the slave power with engrossed the chief of the slave states and the states were secondary and collateral. It is going to be hard, the point of the law, to make the point of all the things which be now enrages to undertake. The special concern is with farm relief and the protective tariff. Prohibition was a suppressed Secretary Hughes called a sham. One would hardly expect a sham to administer the chief of the slave states to the farm relief set by Mr. Hoover in the first month of his administration has projected a program which must be a realistic reform in half a dozen directions.

We also met a very interesting character on the campus, Theodore Tey Ameteffi, a native of Gold Coast. West Africa, who, despite his 48 years, is studying agriculture and plans to return to his native land and teach his people the most scientific methods of tilling the soil. Mr. Amcettel lived in Germany 18 years, he states, and in England 7 years. He speaks German, German, German, and germanes. He is a blacksmith by trade and was enroute to America to study at Tunkueh when he met a Prairie girl. He was about the state college and thus he came to Prairie View. Anide from his exalted function as president of the nation, Mr. Hoover has to project far-reaching political reforms within the limits of the Republican party. His Southern policy is to make the 1980s a year in which the point of daring. Political organization resting ostensibly upon the will of the Republicans within specific ed states is swept away with the breath of presidential fiat. His ideas seem to be that the skeleton organ of the party is the one which is to stand of representing the will of the Republicans in those states actually stand in the way of an effective expression of that will. He cuts them down and casts them into the oven because they encumber the grounds for the election. He says that the stand of growing. The Negro is called upon to make the instant sacrifice of high place and power within the councils of the party for the sake of ultimately gaining the unintimidated right of franchise on the part of each qualifi-cated person. He says that the react to this suggestion remains to be seen. The lovers of the flesh pot will swallow as a sweet morsel any pronouncement which I'd falls from princes' lips. The radical and pro-condemn for the mere sake of keeping their critical faculties sharp. The cautious and judicious will want chiefly to know how he can reconcile his Southern program with the letter and spirit of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution. He says that he must be desirous to enforce. It is true that the manipulation of party machinery has nothing to do with the inherent rights of the franchise. And yet a new political sagacity is required to permit a citizen to vote and at the same time to vote without violating the rules of the party and the rights of citizenship? He states that the crying need of training the country has fine soil, but that agricultural methods now employed there are not the best for setting and intelligent and has laughed considerably in all sections of the town. By take and by large, the trip to Prairie View was both profitable and interesting. He turned to Houston knowing much more about the type and character of work being done at this state school. He is our good pleasure to visit the school. Prof. W. J. Smith is principal, Wednesday night of last week, and to liaise with the students who told how the night school had helped them; how they could learn, write and figure, too, many students in said night school, and how they can read, write and figure, too, many students in said night school, and how they can treat covenant meeting or a Methodist class meeting, as these pupils told in an interesting and intelligent manner what the course of training and education of the men he meant to them. With such educational advantages, he offered grants, it is no excuse for or girl, even though forced to work as a teacher, he is still illiterate in this community; for the school board is conducting our night school, he is operating one in each of the four populated caves: First, Third, Fourth. It appears that some of our people such educational training, yet pride of this sort will prove detrimental to our success in its ranks, even the most meek man who can neither read nor write. The Negro is more interested in the fifteenth amendment than in the fate of any political organization or organization to enforce the fifteenth amendment to or build up a lily-water party to enforce the fifteenth amendment to the instrumentality of the lily-water party to lead immediately or ultimately to the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment, existing lily-water program which says in effect that although the Negro shall not hold public office nor yet high station in the council of the Republican party, Ole's place of station is the necessary conciliant of citizenship and franchise and those who meden to believe in the What's more, the world is now demanding that, aside from one's ability to work, employees have special preparation for the work essayed; and employers are not hitherto obliged to employ their color but rather because of their efficiency, honesty, dependability and unlearned, untrained and unskilled laborers are finding it increasingly difficult to find and hold jobs, and the importance of our people taking advantage of every opportunity to in the various fields and thereby better qualify themselves for more efficient and proficient work in the various fields of industrial Interesting, Entertaining and Instructive BEN DAVIS, JR.

His eyes shifted from face to face of the occupants of the cells across the way. There was no answering mirth. Ott was unpopular. The courtroom was crowded. David glanced over the peering, pushing mob listlessly as he took his seat behind his counsel inside of the rail. One friendly face alone in the whole throng smiled encouragingly at him. It was the face of young Ellen Garsten, wife of big, hard-working Hurd, who had moved with his young wife into the ely from Elingford less than a year before. "You're young and friendly lookin', Ellen; you go down there to that courthouse and smile friendly at that boy when he's a-tein tried there among his enemies. That boy ain't guilty!"

New, Professor Leo Probion, noted student of African culture, is to visit southern Rhodesia. Be the best of them, to definitely find the names of the punging question. Three times alluvial Zinbaru and the ancient ruined city of Masheraland has stirred the imagination of the western world. And with exploration again on the way it brooks well to rival in interest and importance the rule of Carthage, of Inger-Vat and of the Fathans. MYSTERIOUS CITY What does history say of Zinbaru? Only a few paltry pebbles of knowledge have escaped to us from the ever-flowing chiltering seals of the ages. Zimbabwe is no mysterious today as it was four hundred years ago when Europe first became aware of its existence. Our history is of the�s. In 1498, six years after the discovery of America by the Spaniards under Columbus, the Portuguese discovered S. R. Africa. At this time Portugal and Spain were the great seafaring nations of the West. They were an important in their day as England and America are today. P. E. de Vries of Ptefex John, who had visited, King Henry of Portugal sent his sailors south through the Red Sea. Although this route had the virus and King Henry could imagine that the world was round and 500 that, and that sailors setting out upon unknown seas would not fall over the "Edge of the Earth" into "Misty Abysses," but would eventually, by circling the globe, return to home port. Humanity, it seems, does not continually progress upward in a single line of a rather advanced race for a further half a century after the succeeding periods of great enlightenment. Aristotle and the scholars and navigators of the Greek Empire three hundred years before Christ knew that the world was round, long before this is probable that the Arabians knew it, but Europe martyred its scholars for saying so fifteen hundred years later. Zimbabwe likewise proves that man often "walks backwards" in his progress! PORTUGESE VISITED ZIMBABWE In 1860 when Father Silveira pushed his way inland from Goa, the new Portuguese settlement on the South East African coast, Zimbabwe was a great and flourishing city, the capital of the South Africa. It was the only place that this "Black Empire" glowingly in a letter to the pope of Rome. From his descriptions it is a land of vast wealth lying between the Zimbepo river on the South and the Limpopo river on the south, and might even extend to the Cape of Good Hope. Anyway, we gather that this Empire of the Black was larger than European France is today, larger, perhaps, than our state of Texas and nearly dotted with irresaleable gold mines. A country indeed to what the commercial greed of the Portuguese! At first, it appears, the Great Black King of Manomaltas receives the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION Christian embassy with pleasure and hospitality. His courtesy for the stranger extends even to allowing himself to be christened "Sebastian" by him and giving him a house to set us his Holy Cross in. The Pagan monarchs were always famed for their liberality in matters of the soul; one or two new gods never did any harm to their already over-fow-beg Pantheon. It took but a little while, however, for the Monarch to discover that Billeveira's visit was not entirely for the purpose of conversion. As usual the flag was trying to follow the cross. A Mohamedan at the court (for the Mohamedans had known Zimbabwe long before the Christians), perhaps Jealous of his rivals religious success with the Monarch, sided Billeveira's downfall by calling him a wizard. If we are to believe the miraculous tales solemnly recorded to the valian about Billeveira speaking with wild beasts and being succeeded by them, he was a wizard and deserved to lose his head in a dangerous subject. WHITES CAPTURED CITY The next we hear of Zimbabwe the Portuguese are marching, (the regular soldiers reinforced by enemy tribes of Monomestapa), fifteen thousand and strong against the Empire of the Blacks. At Mocapa the Portuguese having superior firearms rout the Black Monarch and march to Zim. Before, the capital. Here, Manura, uncle of the defeated monarch, is crowned Christian King of Monocestapa. This, however, was only an empty gesture on the part of the Portuguese who had no real power in Africa at this time. This is proved by the fact that the Portuguese really tried to their coast set forth as afterwards and left Monocestapa again in the hands of the natives. It is also proved by the fact that the ten missionaries who later set out to teach the Holy Scriptures to the people of the New Christian Monarch were never heard of again. Monocostaps, as far as Europe is concerned, ceases to exist. Two and a half centuries later, in 1871, Zimbabwe again flashes across the loorien of Europe. Herr Murch, a German explorer, brings it again into the time. But what a different Zimbabwe! No longer is it the first capital of a great empire. Now, it is a mode array of crumbling stone buildings! Time again has triumphed over an old, wild, heartily provided through the vast chambers that once were built by the Monkeys gushed over the affairs of the Dead Gods of Zimbabwe. And the towers along the great stone wall that is thirteen feet thick at the top and twenty at the base, and more than thirty feet high, are filled with nesting birds. Zimnsbove, like ancient Tyre and Babylon, sleep—and does not talk in its sleep. TAKEN BY ZULUST What happened to Zimbabwe? The savants of Europe in 1891 conclude that Zimbabwe was taken by the neighboring Zulus and gradually fell into decay. It is more probable that terrible wars aided by an earthquake were its downfall. The ruins bespoke the hand of nature rather than that of man in the final destruction, for studies seemed to have been hurled from great heights. But before savants asked what happened to Zimbabwe and tried to answer it, they asked who built Zimbabwe and tried to answer that. Rider Hargard and Theodore Bent and others concluded that it must have been originally built by Phoenelans traders more than a thousand years before Christ. That it must have been the original Ophir of King Nolopian's days. The basis of their reasoning was that the city was very ancient and evidently built by people who were in a high stage of civilisation. This city, built on a great hill surrounded on three sides by granite cliffs which gave it a natural protection, and on the only accessible side was provided with a wall and a wall of massandship. The proportions and eunuch workmanship of the city was so constructed that ease man at times could enter the gates of the city—most have been the creation of whites from the civilized world surrounding the Mediterranean. And they say, since the Phoenicians were the greatest travelers of antiquity, it must have been founded in them. But if this is so, why didn't the Phoenixes speak of it? Why didn't it become famous like Carthage and Tyre and Fapus, the other great cities founded by the Phoenicians? Why were they silent only about this one? This one which produced according to these same authorities almost unlimited gold. Surely so rich a city could not have supplied gold to the Mediterranean countries for a thousand years and never been mined or its location given. They also base their reasoning upon the similarity of the religious images unfarmed at Zimbabwe and those found in other Phoenician sites. Images that are phallic in design and be speak a worship of the generative powers, and of the sun. But it is now known, with the modern excavations at Pompeii, and in Peretia, Egypt and Mexico, and. Control. America, that worship of the sun and the generative powers was set the exclusive product of one people. Meniliths, the different from these found at Zimbabwe, are scattered all over the world wherever min had fret. Moreover, Zimbabwe is an inland city, far from the coast. Placements have never been known to ever be as widely used as the city as to be used by both and fortified to have been a mere gold station on the way to the coast. Its workmanship is such that it bespeaks a great knowledge of architecture and rejuvenation of taste. It is built on a foundation of granite which it would have taken an array of workers through long years of labor to lay. And the buildings are made of small blocks of stone, slightly larger than a brick, so fitted together that moretar was not necessary. The walls of the temple and the monoliths are profusely carved with the images of birds. The Placements would scarcely have gone to all of this trouble for a mere gold station which they never thought enough of to mention. And the vessels of gold, unearched there are carved with the delicacy and ingenuity of the best modern goldsmiths. NOT ANCIENT OPHIR No, Zimahwae is not the northeast Ophir. Ophir sent not only gold to Solomon, but peacocks and sandalwood as well as there are so peacocks or sandleweed in Africa. Ophir was probably some port on the Malabar coast in India, the home of peacefowl and sandlewood, which also produced gold. The modern explorer with more knowledge of the past, and of the habits of man than was at the disposal of the savvants of the 70s and 80s, and with better facilities for unstealing and comparing the rules of a dead city, will probably not depend so much upon the exact references to the Bible for solving this mystery. Americas and Europe eagerly await the results of the Probenian expedition. For if Zimbabwe proves after all to be of purely African origin many conclusions hitherto held about the people of Africa will have to be dropped. It may even be that Africa had an architecture and a culture hidden away in its jungles that equaled that of the Greeks and the Roman. THE END The Harrison Street Baptist church was organized at Petersburg, Va., in 1776; and another Baptist church at Williamsburg, Va., in 1785. The first African Baptist church was established in Rationnish, Ga., in 1785, with the Second Baptist church in that city following fourteen years after. There was founded a mixed Baptist church in the Means Bayon, Mass., district in 1805 by Joseph Willis, a free Negro, born in South Carolina in 1852.

How can I break him of teasing and yet save him, for I really love him?—Serious Girl. I think it is you and not your lover who is at fault. S. G. It is because you are too serious, perhaps, that his teasing spouts you so. I believe that seriousness is much overrated in love. It is possible to be sincere without being serious.

Albert Popu was chosen for this job, and on the first page of the right man in the right job. In a short while he had made an unparalleled record for himself, for he became the means of preventing any injury. It was a common occurrence for him to receive letters of congratulation from high city officials, and he was a death target of common interest. The chief jailer was sent to the High Sheriff citing his unusual efficiency, bravery and courage. This man, who was once the ambition lad of his great power, had his own yard, and was now winning, slowly but surely, the recognition of a large city's entire police force. Promoted his success Mr. Pope took the civil law study examination required of applicants for the office of deputy sheriff for the city of Los Angeles, and passed with unusually high ranker, but when he was a rule which automatically drops eligible after a certain period of time, he did not receive an appointment until the date he was appointed to take the part of this capable and assistless young man. One day in January Albert Pope surpassed even his usual courageous service. He was so well-known to be prevented the escape of one of the deadliest men in criminal analysis. Upon that day Jack Hawkins, a life-�ermer, with drawn gun and deadly force to him, was given the right to enright to fight and slay his way to Liberty. An accomplice in this deadly effort, Robert ("Zeke") Hayes, also a life-�ermer, who had to be帮人 to be allowed to be a shield of his own body for his comrade in their foothold; a attempt to escape. Both men had been brought from his own position to the service of a military service to give evidence in Pope was attending to his duties in the prior cage when he heard the words: "Stick 'em up, all of you!" Instantly alert, Pope wheeled and in a mad burst of courageous trickery, seized the desperate Hawkins by his right arm, endeavoring to turn the point of the gun toward the criminal himself. As Pope grappled with the crassed prisoner, Hawkins fired. The bullet ploughed through Pope's clothing, struck his shoulder-bone, glanced onward and came out at the back of his neck. Anyone who knows anything about shooting knows that defected bullets take peculiar courses. Pope was not dangerously hurt, and with superhuman strength he continued to wrestle with the blood, thirty criminal, and "at the same time eluding being shot by the deadly DRAW YOUR LOVED ONE Bust.

I do try to find the Negro; per con the Negro, I am not sure. ILL most of the American Negroes finally settle in cities? Will it be necessary in the future to go to the cities of this country to find the Negroes? At one time it was thought that the future of the Negro was on the farm. With this view, men like Booker T. Washington figured out a kind of education for young Negroes that would be best adapted to life in the country; and many industrial and agricultural schools for colored youth were established in the South. But these men reckoned without taking into consideration the modern trend of population from the country to the city. The increase in the number of factories and the modern tendency to do more farming with machinery and less by hand has offered people greater opportunities in the cities and less on the farms. As a result it was noted after the 1920 census figures were compared that over half the population of the United States lived in cities for the first time in history. CITY FOPULATION INCREASING According to Dr. H. E. Erdman, professor of farm economics at the University of California, over 4,000 How a Negro Sheriff Prevented the Escape of a Desperate Criminal the floor—a helpless man, and a beaten one. His confederate sank beside him, both losers in a mad attempt to escape justice. It was then that Pope released his hold. He saw that one of the brave deputies lay at his feet in a pool of blood. Ever courageous, Pope calmly resumed control of the elevator—got it under way—went to the tenth floor—took on the chief jaller and his assistant—proceeded thence to the fourteenth floor, where the jail hospital is located—unloaded the wounded men—had the pools of blood cleaned from the elevator floor, and proceeded jauntily with the elevator service as per schedule. But justice and recognition soon appointed Albert Pope deputy sheriff in the county of Los Angeles. This is his reward for bravery and courage under fire. He is a man of great talent and character and holds a position the isle of which is not held by many colored men throughout the country. St. Joseph's G.F.P.

Not only have they migrated from the Southern farm to the Northern city, but they have also goo to the Southern city. From 1910 to 1920 over a million Negroes moved from Southern farms to Southern and Northern cities, and since 1920 almost an equal number have deserted the soil. Forty years ago in 1890 only 19 per cent of the Negroes lived in the cities whereas today almost 40 per cent live in cities. These percentages apply to the entire country. In the South alone, however, the shift is Negro population has been very great. During the period noted above the percentage of city Negroes increased from 15 per cent to over 30 per cent. The Negroes are leaving the farms in much larger numbers, relatively speaking, than the whites.

As the use of machinery in agriculture increases in the South, there will be a decreasing need for farm labor. Naturally the Negro will turn more and more to the city for his salvation. Everything points that way and it would not be surprising if by 1990 90 per cent of our people were city dwellers.

His lips were hard and firm, as if he had just been in the place of them they are. The chaffing group parted, they approached the supreme ordeal. The Chocolate Kid straightened slowly and flicked the ash from his eignite. Then he smiled very deliberately. And very ingratiatingly into the stern face of the man before him. "What girl?" he said. "You know he means Angle? You could cross." What's you done with her?" Bledsoe screamed the womiss hysterically. His shattered nerves could stand no more. He was his own, and with it went his carefully built-up structure of hypothetical Christian veneer. "I left her here, you unmanned sneak, and he couldn't get away without help. Females she told me she'd stay till I come back, and Angle always would mind me. I had her in the same way. She's a very kind woman, with faith he had used for his own satiric purpose."

AN ANTOUNDING SCENE The scene that greeted his eyes was the sun, with the ground white, the ground white. On the ground was a Axe. The Chocolate Kid's head was in her lap, and with her scarf she was stumbling the blood that flowed from a wound in his head. Beside her stood Zeta, and hurrying from the hut can't hurry, his weakly good-natured face anxious and in his hands a basin of water.

I used to hear voices late at night, when a man would bring provisions out to the back and talk to my mother through the door. I learned later that it was Big Ot, and he pretended he was my mother's friend. It was he who told her my father had cast us off and persuaded her to go with him to another city, with the promise of finding her work. When she would not do as he wished he beat her. But always she kept the baby that had been that other woman's—the baby who is Harry here, now. And always she was sweet and tender to me, was my mother. But she did not know how to earn her living, and so she was at the mercy of Big Ot, who would be gone for days at a time and return with money or jewelry that he tried to make her take, but she would take nothing but food and shelter for us.

China Tea Cup Turns into a Chinaman Pencil — Magic then Oit told me Barry had given my own mother a poison in that cup. He told me if I left him he would send Harry to the gallows, and I would be sent to the penitentiary as an accessory after the fact. It was this fear that has kept me silent all these years. I promised him that when Barry was of age I would marry him, and then I met David. I knew all the details of the plot for that bank robbery in which the watchman was killed. Oit beasted to me of having killed him, but I could not tell that without making the other confession and sending Barry to the gallows and myself to the penitentiary. She ceased and stood very still. The eyes of the four people were danced, bewildered. Then the lawyer laughed. There was mirth and genuine humor in that laugh. It seemed incongruous, following the grave and tragic tale of the girl before him. "Apple sauce!" he said, and his voice was relieved. "Why, girl, don't you know that tale will only serve to put the honorable Oit entirely out of the way? If it is true which I doubt—that something in the tax killed your mother, HE is the criminal, not you innocent kids. Besides the killing of the watchman is enough to send him where he wants to send my client." Without a word John Cutting folded his daughter in his arms. "So that was why you let me go on believing that your mother really left me for that chunk!" he said at last, as he kissed her hair softly. “Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this company to join together this man and this woman.” The soft light of the candles seemed to glow with a more radiant softness on the faces of the woman and man at the foot of the high white altar. Nancy Conway snuggled her wrinkled fingers into the hard but tender fingers of her husband Jason, and her eyes were bright with happy tears as she whispered: "Our struggling hearts at last have won to peace through great tribulations." David and Zola, with raptured faces, saw nor heard nothing but the priest before them. But John Cutting nodded at the low-spoken words and glanced tenderly at young Barry standing so proudly as best man beside stalwart David. Then his eyes wandered to where Angie sat with her baby in her arms and the Chocolate Kid protectingly by her side. “Struggling hearts,” he echoed. “Aye, at last: they have found peace.” ONCE there were two young fellow students who made its marks in life. They were impressive, impressive looking young elopes and their abates on the leader of life, who this time offered wisdom to them and this offer endowed wisdom to them.
