COLLEGED WORLD'S SERIES
One wry gesturing thing was done during the second event of this column from the city, when the grand brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten met here and requested the grand brother of Mr. Gruber grand secretary of the order.
While out of the city, this writer sent back an editorial to The Informer of Mysterious Ten, in which we urged that the official board of this fraternity and clarify the situation by giving Mr. McGruber a "dum bill of health."
Brailing the official board of difference as to procedure in trying to audit the accounts and clarify the situation by giving Mr. McGruber was not short in the funds entrusted to his charge and hounding. The Informer of Mysterious Ten argued that the grand master, grand lodge or any person official connected with the account of the grand master, sounded belief that the matter would be settled in an amicable and brotherly manner.
While our belief was justified fully by later developments, and while we were aware of the reality of the United Boards of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Ten, Mr. Gruber grand secretary and thereby absolving him from any shortage, it is our软弱 opinion that by order of this matter at the Beaconmont grand lodge, only was the charge that the grand secretary was short several thousand dollars calculated to injure his family, but such accession was likely to wreak much damage upon indecisive staff in decreasing the size of the company.
However, since the matter has been settled and everything appears to be going well, the family of this Texas order, we hope that these relations will continue to work more constructively to make more manifestative work will be employed heathier in auditing the accounts of the grand gate officers.
Like all growing cities, Houston has a strong connection with its metropolitan automotive and vehicular traffic, and it is next to impossible to pass and enter the city without a vehicle plume and satisfy everybody.
In observing traffic regulations in the majority of large cities in Texas and Louisiana, Houston is about the only large city in the country which permits to assemble or secure parking space on the street as angle parking, automotive traffic is laid up considerably in traffic as lack out of parking space.
Then, two, angle parking, with cars and give traffic much less law for speed, and jams and congestion is usually a result of automobile traffic.
The old idea of parking on the main thoroughfare of the city was largely seen as a place to place them where they could be seen, and where they would be easy to reach in thousands of automobiles in the city such village methods of parking can be met.
All cars, Houston should adopt parallel parking on all downtown streets in handling its automobile traffic. We have a municipal, metropolitan area about most everything else in the city, and we should remove "Homestyle Houston" out of the village category by abolishing it on Main Street.
The various institutions of learning are opening and hundreds, yes thousands of our children are trekking their way to the several institutions of learning scattered throughout this country.
Houston, with the largest colored population of any city in Texas and with its three colored senior high schools, one junior high school and one junior college, will be represented by a large number of pupils in many of the nation's best schools; which is as it should be.
But, like the \(Bengal\)s ghost, the problem of finding something for these young people to do when they complete their educational training and enrolment upon the \(sous\) of human endeavour, is ever present and will not \(drown\), and we will be recrent to our hidden duty if we fail to provide avenues of employment for these brilliant and enthusiastic youth after their graduation from college.
Yes, let's send our children to public schools, colleges and universities, but let's also prepare some places for them to fill and do service after they complete the prescribed courses of study at these various educational centers.

For the first time in the history of this season, Houston will win a championship two more times for the colored championship of America and the world, when the Kansas City Royals and the National Negro Leagues, and the Houston Black Bufalers, permit勇士 in the Texas Mets, clutch at West End Park. While many baseball experts contend that the Bufalers, the leaders of the Bufs are confident that the local club will make a fine showing against the invaders, the Bufalers are confident
THE HOUSTON INFORMER
BLACK BUFFS TO PLAY MONARCHS WORLD'S SERIES
The Houston Black Buffaloes, who literally made a runaway race of the current season in the Texas-Oklahoma-Louisiana League, copping the pennant, will face an acid test here September 21, 22, 28, 29, 30 and October 1 2, when they clash with the Kansas City Monarchs, 1929 champions of the National Negro League, for the colored world's championship. The seven games will be played here at West End Park, beginning each week day at 3:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.
News comes from Kansas City that the Monarchs are not underestimating the strength of the Black Buffaloes, and will invade the city expecting no diamond set-up. The big leagueers have a team of baseball stars, including Harding, shortstop; Allen, second base; Rogan, center field and pitcher; Livingston, left field; Taylor, right field; Joseph, third base; Duncan and Young, catchers; William Bell, L. and A. Cooper, Brewer and Wilson, pitchers.
“Bullet” Rogan is manager of the Monarchs, who have in Duncan one of the highest catchers of the game, while New Joseph, former Galveston Black Sanderah, is the premier third sacker of the major loop.
Quincy J. Gilmore, president of T.O.L. League and connected with the Monarchs for some 10 years, played a large part, along with President J. B. Grigsy of the Buffs, in arranging this titular series. The Monarchs will attend the Peway, Sept. 20, in their first serious bus, many local fans planning to meet them about.15 or 20 miles out on the Hempsted pike and escort them to the city.
Passing Parade
Unobediently, these be 70-years old, and everybody seems to be playing with Mrs. G. C. Houston, local teacher and Ruthite official, and her daughter, Mrs. J. C.

prised if the Herd should cop a few games from the "big leaguers," teams on the Monarch team, including "Goo-Goo" Livingston, Harding and Taylor New York, formerly Calgary, New Joseph, formerly of Calgary, and Duncan, regarded as the best agger. The Buffs are going through intensive training for this titer series, games against the Buffs, and Duncan, regarded as the best agger. The Buffs are expecting their charges to give a good account of against the "Kay Seed" aggregation.
Games are be played here at West End Stadium, and October 1, 2, and we take this oocclusion to urge all baseball fans and public games; for this series will mean much to Houston from many angles.
For the Buffs to "strict their stuff" and for the Buffs to "whether we are baseball players not."
AMERICA'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER
HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1929
CRITICS PRAISE CONCERT GIVEN BY RACE ARTIST
Seattle, Wash.—(ANP)—Residents of this study are still try to assay the advantages have come to them as a result of the recent visits and appearances of Miss Marian Anderson. Both times that she has sung here the members of her race and the local musical colony have felt that she made unusual contributions as a colored artist showing the capabilities of her vocal ability which any race might feel proud of. It has been in the sense of a singer comparable to the best that the world offers that the daily practice of her ability which is exercised to her. The musical critic of the Seattle University follows the way to "Sunday night's concert by the American Philharmonic orchestra was largely a repetition of the preceding two performances between Miss Marian Anderson and Henry Hadley, the conductor, and just as the second performance of Miss Anderson's fourth appearance as solist with the stadium orchestra, it actually received as before. If the midsummer concerts had done nothing different, she would have sent to the finest of living contralto singers and it was plainly a reason for her deep appreciation to her go after the second encore.
The critic of the Seattle Daily Titanic "great artist," continued: "it was 'Marian Anderson night' at the University of Washington Stadium last summer, and deeply impressed her hearers at two of the earlier American Philharmonic concerts, turned to sing again, postponing her plans for a European trip. Last week she proved and appreciation. It gave her an ovation. If Miss Anderson was in the ocean passage she must have felt relief, in some measure at least, by her success."
Members of her race in this city are proud and of have risen to the top of the women. Most difficult for them to overcome is the critical who finds Miss Anderson possessed of such a marvous voice that she is able to be ranked as the "best of the届" women.
HOUSTON GAS FIRM
HAS LONG RECORD
FOR GOOD SERVICE
In dependability none will question the Houston Gas and Fuel Company's supremacy, coming into Houston with its states and backed up with great gas refiners containing 5,000,000 cubic feet of plant that is kept in readiness in case of any unusual crisis or emergency operation within 24 hours, long before the reserve supply of gas is used by the domestic consumers. The Houston Gas and Fuel Company has the overwhelming advantage of 67 years of experience in managing the gas business in all its phases. That the Houston Gas and Fuel Company is fully aware of the great challenges it faces, its ability is attested by the fact that last year the company installed 8,000 gas refiners ready put in 9,000. This shows just how the growth of the plant and the development of the crisis
BACK FROM LONG VACATION
Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Williams and Miss Lillian Jones, 1412 Cleveland, returned last week-end from their summer vacation spent in Washington, Brooklyn, White Plains, New York City and other points. Most of the time was spent with the Williams' children, Percy, Drs. Arthur and Leonard Williams, and their families. All report a wonderful time.
RECORD BROKEN AT BISHOP
COLLEGE ON OPENING DAY
The Informer is in receipt of a telegraphic message from Prof. Joseph J. Leigh, the president of the Jesuit College, Marshall, Texas, with the following significant information: the Jesuit College will open; shall be forced to close dormitory; it appears that the Negroes of Texas and the Southwest are responding already to the administration's history of this famed East Texas Jesuit college; bright for a bigger and better Bishop.

Among the bequests were one of $1000 for his wife, and another for Mr. Serrugs worshipped as a child during slavery and another to the Negro Baptist church of which he was a member.
Kansas City, Norfolk Hosts To 2 Gatherings
PICK WILLIAMS WOOD'S FACTION TO LEAD FORCES; PLANS TO RESCUE MUSIC FEATURE NEGRO COLLEGE
Kansas City, Mo.—(ANP)—After listening to the reading of an exhaustive and comprehensive report of the president, Dr. L. K. Williams, delegates to the National Baptist Convention, Incorporated, meeting in this city, reelected him to the position which he has held since the death of the late Elias Camp Morris by the customary vote of acclamation.
Dissension and revolt, which, according to reports before the convention, had been brewing in several states scarcely showed its head here, and the tall Chicago was the master this year that he has been on previous occasions.
Eight thousand people were thrilled by the music of a chorus of 750 voices Tuesday night in the pre-convention concert. The chorus directed by Edward H. Boatner of Chicago, sang a program of spirituals and classics in Convention Hall in a manner that received the attention of Mr. Boatner, inasmuch as many of the singers could not read music. Accompanion for the singers was played on six concert grand pianos. A feature of the concert which proved a distinct surprise was the prompt beginning of the program. Persons arriving late, figuring on "colored people's time," rot to hear only one or two pumbers.
Defying tradition in that he failed to send a letter or a proxy, Governor Henry S. Caulfield personally greeted the delegates when the convention opened Wednesday morning and assumed that the meeting was to be held at a state which was "not unfriendly" to the Negro. Governor Caulfield motored the 165 miles from the state capital especially to greet the Baptists.
The state executive revealed that he was of the Baptist faith and recited some of the things which his administration has done and is doing to make the conditions better for the Negro citizens of the state. He told of the improvement in rural school conditions for Negro children, of changes in the law to give them more and better schools, of improvements at the state penitentiary and of non-discriminatory law enforcement programs. Prolonged applause greeted his statement that he was trying to be governor of all the people and was seeking, insofar as was in his power, to iron out inequities.
Welcome addresses were given by Mayor Albert I. Beach of Kansas City, who told the convention that Kansas City regarded its Negro citizens as an asset and was proud of them; by Dr. J. Edward Perry, T. B. Watkins, Rev. S. A. Washington, The Rev. J. T. Goodall of Philadelphia responded.
BAR ASSOCIATION
ASKS CHURCHMEN
FOR COOPERATION
Chicago, Ill.—(ANP)—The National Bar Association sent its representatives before two of the larger church bodies of the country last week in an effort to enlist their cooperation in their fight against segregation, discrimination, and oppression of the Negro group. The program and plan for cooperation between the ministry and the law is shown by the letter directed by President Raymond Pace Alexander and Secretary Irvin C. Mollison to the heads of the two Baptist conventions, L. K. Williams, whose faction met at Kansas City, and Dr. J. E. Wood, whose group convened at Norfolk.
"For too long a time," the Bar Association plea reads, "the legal profession and the ministry have remained aloof from each other."
The day has come when all of the agencies of uplift for the Negro must combine for the common welfare. The National Bar Association is now prepared to make the initial moves for the great-众 of the American Church, and to purpose and function of the two professions. We wish to enlist the aid of the church generally in our fight for a real political, economic, and civic freedom and equality for the Negro. United by common aims and ideals, and upon the firm ground of right and justice, the church and the National Baptists are for the cause of the great-众 of the United Church, and to be upholding of the two professions and for the advancement of the Negro group."
The association was represented at the Kansas City convention by Regional Director L. Amasa Knox of Kansas City, Mo., and Judge William H. Harrison of Chicago, Ill., and at Norfolk, Virginia, by Regional Director L. A. M. of the American Church, and Vice-President Charles E. Robinson of Washington D. C.
Norfolk, Va.—(ANP)—Apprehension in educational circles in this state regarding the possible fate of Virginia Seminary and College at Lynchburg, because of its inability to meet its financial obligations, was somewhat dissipated here last week by the action of delegates to the 49th annual convention of the unincorporated Baptists, who took under consideration the recommendation of their president, Rev. J. Edmund Wood, Danville, Ky., that they devise ways and means to assume the support of the school and to guarantee its maintenance.
This step upon the part of the Baptists came at a time when hope for the salvage of the Lynchburg institution had reached its lowest ebb and predictions were being freely made that it would be forced to close its doors. It was known that the school was in need of $75,000 immediately and it was believed that only a "modern miracle" could save it. The miracle may occur if these modern Baptists continue to agree and send the word down that the salvation of Virginia Seminary should be made a part of their program of public service.
Information regarding the negotiations now being made was disclosed by a trustee of the school.
There are indications that the possibility of the assumption of this task may have had the effect of diverting the intention of some of the delegations who are reported to have come to the convention prepared to launch an attack against the incumbency of Rev. Wood. Charges had been made through the newspapers that his term of office had been in place for a leader competent to lead his followers into the biggest fields of service and there was a demand made for a better trained man. But it seems that in making the recommendation regarding Virginia Seminary, Dr. Wood revealed himself in the possession of an object so worthy that the spirit of his adversaries was quieted.
The resolution calling for the appointment of a committee to study Dr. Wood's recommendation and the serious situation at the college was passed Wednesday and on Thursday Dr. Wood was reelected president of the convention.
This city extended a welcome to the thousands of Baptists that was infused with the traditional spirit of the church. Delegations came to the city by train and automobile, from nearly every section of the country, the East and Middlewest sending substantial units to join in conference with the customary large groups from the South and Southwest.
The main section of the convention opened Wednesday morning in Second Calvary Baptist Church and the women's auxiliary in First Calvary Baptist Church. Both divisions were scheduled to be held on the second Monday with programs concentrated on the work of the foreign and home mission fields and religious educational activities.
NORDIC MURDERER
RELEASED ON BOND
Ackerman, Miss.—(ANP)—Bunyan Carr, a young white planter, was released on bail of $1,000 at the preliminary hearing in connection with the killing of Buster Mitchell, one of his tenants.
Carr claims that he has missed cotton for several weeks and went to Mitchell's home to inquire of it. Mitchell became angry about being questioned and the white man shot him when he picked up an axe. There were no witnesses to the shooting but many whites have expressed the opinion that Carr was justified in that Mitchell bore a bad reputation and was reported to have served a prison sentence for killing a white man.

The death of Mrs. Grimes, which occurred Sunday, was a distinct shock to the entire city and even in many sections of the state where she was known.

AVIATION FIELD
Washington, D. C.—(ANF)—Sporadic attempts to organize aviation schools and clubs throughout various parts of the country, particularly the West, continue to trickle through news channels here, but little actual progress is being made in enlisting airmen for aviation studies. Of Commerce records do not give racial designations in their statistics upon flying students in the commercial fields, but these records do show that only a small percentage of the large list of aviation students are able to meet the flying requirement.
The application of the Airman flyer's permits were said to average 600 a week. There were 14,580 for the last six months. But few of them ever learned to fly. Only fifteen per cent of the white boys making application ever complete the course. Department of Commerce officials say and many of the Airman flyers were accepted by temperament to become flyers.
In the army and navy a similar condition exists. About 25 per cent of the students can qualify.
There are those who feel that after all the Negro may prove to be particularly adapted to the air. There are many who are not.
Three kinds of license: individual, pilot's license, and transport license. Dr. A. Porter Davis of Kansas City, Kansas, holds an individual license as do two colored flyers of Tulsa, Oklahoma. All three of these men were trained at commercial flying schools located in the City of Kansas.
The flight of the Zeppelin has encouraged some wings to predict that ere long some of the brothers will be making application for a job as porter on one of the big dirtilers now that the pathway has been b只ed, but more serious observers are hopeful that the new airman will be able to make some of the Eastern fields where one colored entrants are practically harred and that the Negro may prove to be especially adapted for the air.

NUMBER 17
MUSICIANS END
NATIONAL MEET
AT FORT WORTH
By CARL DITON
(For The Associated Negro Props)
Fort Worth, Texas—The eleventh and last-most state of the country to have joined the association of Negro Musicians, has closed and the musical delegates have departed for various sections to assume their respective duties for the year.
Every convention for the past ten years has possessed strong features, but perhaps the most glorifying circumstances connected with the meeting for this year was the most abominable event of the year, the prominent white citizens of Pt. Worth. From the opening of the great Sunday afternoon mass meeting held at the Coliseum to the presentation of a meeting, the M.P.M. Post. Moore, a so-called "New Religiousrist" to contribute to the customary six days. On Monday evening was the 1st of the day, the representatives from various state and local organizations expressed warm sentiments of welcome, including the Fort Worth Conservatory of Music, the M.P.M. Post. Moore, a so-called "New Religiousrist" to contribute to the customary six days. On Monday evening was the history of these annual meetings. The high spot of this function was reached when W. B. Fisher, who had been a member of the M.P.M. Post. Moore, cleaners firm, was introduced to the audience. Mr. Fishburn spoke very wittily and suggested a spiritual service.
It was then that one experienced M.P.M. Post. Moore, a so-called "Florence Cole-Talbert, prominent soprano, surprised the audience during its spontaneous burst of song with the incidental solo parts.
The meeting was held in a very interesting manner, while on Tuesday evening the first state program was held.
On Wednesday afternoon the city roped off its main business street in order that its citizenry might witness an interestingly prepared civic parade in which floats appeared, portraying Negro spiritualism.
The meeting was held in a very interesting manner, while on Tuesday evening the first state program was held.
For the North, Texas—The eleventh and last-most state of the country to have joined the association of Negro Musicians, has closed and the musical delegates have departed for various sections to assume their respective duties for the year.
Thursday evening's program consisted of offerings by Negro artists of national and international recognition: Florence Cole-Talbert, soprano; Louis Jones, violinist, and Jessie Conway; and the American Band of the First Sunday in the afternoon at a plenic and in the evening at virtually a duplication of the concert by the prominent soloists at Fort Worth the night before. The mornings throughout the week were devoted to business and to conferences at which Miss Alva McNeill, professor of music in the public schools of Fort Worth, and Dr. Albert Venting, professor of hymnology, Southwestern Baptist Seminary, through the courtesy of Professor I. E. Reynolds, also of the same institution, spoke.
There were two painting exhibits here: successive afternoons and additional broadcasted live shows in the programs and Sunday school affairs.
The attendance on the part of the delegation was good, although it was suggested that motor parties be organized in future years and concerts be given enroute to and from the convention as a means of not only stirring the audience, but also of the same throughout the country in the work of the National Negro Association but as a policy of charging at all concerts.
The attendance at the free concerts was always a capacity one. But there was a perceptible falling off at the final, paid concert, so much so that the final was a卖点, and most of that was be driven to a society of charging at all concerts.
The most important contribution of the convention was the discovery of the abundant gifts of Mrs. Manet Powler, president of the Texas Association of Negro Musicians, who plan-

Short History of Madam Walker
Madam was born in Delta, La. Her parents were Owen and Minerva Breedlove. Reared on a farm until ten years of age, she then moved to Vicksburg, Miss. She was left an orphan at the age of seven years, under the care of a sister. She married at the age of fourteen in order to get a home. She was left a widow at the age of twenty, with a child, in the early twenties. She moved from Vicksburg to St. Louis, Mo., where she lived for eighteen years. She reared and educated her daughter, enduring many hardships and much toll. In 1905 she discovered a treatment for the hair. After having tried it successfully on herself and family, she developed to take the business of it. In July 1909, she left St. Louis Mo., for Denver, Colo., to engage as a business in the treatment of the hair. After many discouragements and obstacles she finally was successful in building up a fair business. She remained in Denver a year. As she had not thoroughly convinced the skeptical public to do so, she was�led to travel, notwithstanding, she was discouraged by many of her friends who said she would not be able to make expenses from one town to an

The Invisible W. C. Fields was also associated with him for four years and they became close friends.
had destroyed the life of their father because of his extreme concentration. The authorities sought to drag the truth from the set lips of the men, who were the boys, reading that they had talked too freely to be taken no more. During the trial, the following bits of the defendants: They did not know what Doctor Tate knew. They knew he had left considerable knowledge but had left a hidden place which would be difficult to find. It was at least $100,000 thousand, all art, though they were not all art, though they were exceptionally gold to gold.
They had seen many different coins in his possession, any green-backs about him, any blacks with a mustache. He were a mustache. They refused to cloture them. He clotured. Henge
ment the brothers caught a sight of him they knew they had been trapped. They gave up without a struggle. The Taleb boys were convicted and sentenced to be hanged. They were down on their knees when a double trap was sprung. It was the first double hanging in the state and it took place in the same building where some spectacle. The boys met their death unhappily. The people died to protect the real killer that the Taleb brothers were innocent and died to protect the real killer.
What had become of the hidden gold? That was the question, and no one knew the answer to it. The old Taleb place was called the House of Gold. It was a large building, and the result, recently a poor farmer, while moving the house, heard something rattle to the floor and roll away, dropping from a hole in the unplastered wall. When the farmer saw it up and carried it away. And it was not a dream, for the Taleb gold was there. He and said one hundred dollars even for the killer. Strangely enough, no one had ever examined the walk of the House of Hidden Gold. Old Taleb, Martin, infiltrated colored city of the county seat, also connected with the Farmer's Trust Company Bank, became an authority on the case. Although he was only a small boy at the time.

"We've got something to be carcus about," one of the brothers who was the detective pretended to be a fugitive from justice in the same boat. What did you do back home and come here and hide? "The detective told them to kill a woman," "Was it as bad as that?" one of the brothers interrogated them.
"What bit as bad," confessed the investigator somberly. "In fact, if I were to go back home and be told that I asked the oldest brother. "What would you say if we were to tell you that we too were the oldest brother."
"Iyd sympathize with you," the investigator declared. "I know what it means."
The oldest of the Tolkoth brothers, "we did. We killed our father. Shot him off shotgun, and the sheriff has looked around and looked like he suspected something, but there is something on us. There's nothing he can do without evil men."
"Did you ever tell this to anyone else?" the investigator inquired.
They shook their heads simultaneously. They most
emphatically had not. Moreover they didn't ever intend to tell it and furthermore, they wanted the detective to understand that if he gave them away he'd never live to tell a second version of the story. Besides, they had it on him. He had willingly, of his own accord confessed to having killed a man and they thought they could send him to the chair if he tried to send them to the gallows.
That was that. But the detective was not satisfied and had tried to get more information. Did they know what had become of their father's enormous wealth, or did they know the total wealth?
They said they didn't know a thing about the money, but wished they did. They'd take it and get out of the country. They did not know how much he had to buy the money, but had been fully hidden and dead men did not tell tales. They stated further that the old gentleman's wealth had amounted to more than fifty thousand dollars at the time of his demise. This, it was believed, was primarily in gold.
After this, the detective was unable to obtain more information of a worth while nature. The next morning he saddled his horse and rode to town. The next time the Talbot boys saw him he appeared at the house with the sheriff and had undergone a remarkable transformation in appearance, being newly and more of the same great gold, reprinted, specializes.

King Prempeh and The Golden Stool
A
He looks a regal figure on a lofty throne with a huge volve®
umbrella standing over him.
IN TWO PARTS
Part I
By J. A. Rogers
MANY now living will recall the stirring story of King Prempeh and the Golden Stool—how for several months during 1900 the civilized world breathed interest to learn certain events that were happening in King Prempeh's capital, Coonasville.
I said King Prempeh and the Golden Stool, but if one is to deal with them in order to be better to say: The Golden Stool and King Prempeh, for it is the former that is the real hero of this story.
King Prempeh's people, the Ashanti, gave him up readily enough, when over the years when an English governor expressed his desire only to sit on the Golden Stool, England had a costly little war on her hands. The governor and his wife nearly became white while a good many other white people lost theirs.
Great Warriors.
The Ashanti are the most warlike people in east Africa, history back to the dimest antiquity and some historians say that they are the descendants of those civilized Ethiopians who were driven southwards by the Egyptians as told by Herodotus Diodorus Siculus, ancient historians. As to the Ashanti, many of them, like the Brahmins, believe that they came directly by the Ashtani, along with other peoples on the Gold Coast, had traded with the Phoenicians before Christ was born, and with Europe anti trade with France began in 1386, and with England in 1672. Further, it is asserted that black men from this region had been coming over to America long before the arrival of the theory set forth by Prof. Weiner of Harvard Univer-
mpeh and
den Stool
sity in his book: "Africa and the Discovery of America." The Gold Coast is so called because of the quantity of fish in its streams and even in the streets of the towns after the rainy season. It was gold and the slave trade that had first brought the Europeans there. A large proportion of the towns who were brought to the World came from this region. The Ashantis are a very proud people, and not without cause. For two centuries they had not only dominated neighborhoods but had fought the Europeans who sought to take away their country. The British and the Dutch were both compelled to pay tribute to the Ashanti kings, several British expeditions against them were defeated.
In 1833, a British expedition commanded by Sir Charles MacFarthy was sent to the port of New York, where he was made in the园. Charles's skull was made by King Rema, while the skull itself was placed in the top of the house, and the equivalent of the church in civil-land.
For the next four years the British tried to conquer Ashanti in vain, and the land was to be sold. The land they held, they paid rent for the land they held. The white man laughed King Rema, "bring many canons from the land," but the bush is stronger than the cannon.
In wealth, the Ashanti also ranked with the richest equesters in Africa. The land which, who went to the a treaty with them for Enfaril, said in his report:
The chiefs as did their superior espionage, attendants, were Ashanti cloths of extremist life. The most common of the early foreign silks which had been unravelled to weave them in the same way were gold necklaces in intricately enough.
"Some were necklaces reaching to the navel entirely of agry beads, a hand of gold and beads enslaved by the men of the war," he said. The old men, of the same depended; small chicels of gold, like guineas, rings, and clevats of animals, were strung around their own hands. The last part of the gold bung from their left wrists which were so heavily laden as to be supported on the beads of the hand-sings, both of which were of the same�dotted "Gold and silver olives and canes" bead, the eyes. Wolves and rams bead, large as life, cast in gold were such as from their gold-handled yards which were held around them in great number.

Prior to 1853, this powerful
nation had even run the whole of
the Gold Coast and the Fiftieth
year of the Dutch. And the Fiftieth

huge troops in Bantam, including

castle, seven miles from th. coast. They were led by King Kofi Kali Kafi, distinguished equally as a warrior and a spendthrift.
Over 3,000 Wives
King Kofi's favorite sport was to throw gold nuggets among his wives and watch the scramble for them. The Ashanti kings held the world records for the number of wives. One was forced by tradition to maintain 3333.
In 1873, the Ashantis, however, met their first serious check. The Fantis, with whom King Kofi was at war, called in their allies, the British. A powerful army of 3,000 European soldiers, and regiments of West Indians and African soldiers, as well as the Fanti and their native allies, under Lord Wolseley, marched on Coomassie. The Ashantis fought with their traditional valor, but the long distance capnon of the whites triumphed, and Lord Wolseley, entering King Kofi's capital, burnt it to the ground.
King Kofi was forced to sign a contract with the company of 50,000 ounces of gold and to keep the road which the conquerors had made under the control of the condition. Of the agreement ended in promise however, for an after notice the Athens reigned on the upper hand. They paid a small part of the intemely only, as Too Critical Love

My dear Mrs. Jerome:
I have been keeping company on
very lovely terms with a young lady for the past six months. But lately
she has grown very critical of me. The last time I called on her she
spent twenty minutes talking over the phone to someone. In fact, I left before the conversation was over but scribbled her a note saying I "thanked" her for such shabby treatment. It has now been a week and she has not called me. What shall I do, shall I call her?
W. L. C.
Now, I believe that you committed the same error of which you accuse her. You left because you were "critical" of her telephone conversation. Your note too, as sarcastic. It did not give her the benefit of the doubt. You concluded at once that she was guilty. It was not good form for her to leave you along the length of time. It would be good for you to leave before she returned. I may be the both of you are too critical. In that case, it is best to break off. Or perhaps, this little separation will cause you both to be more to be more thoughtful and less critical. Love languishes under criticism more quickly than it does even under physical violence. Tolerance is the first thing lovers must learn.

King · rempeh
This brings us down to the year 1896 and to King Prempeh.
Prempeh (Kwaka Dua III) had come to the throne at the age of 16, and it was the first of the time that the female line. His family had been on the throne since 1635.
The king was beset by many difficulties. King was born to his country, as said, and had disorganized it, after which the native tribes were left to fight it out and themselves. But on the accession of King Prempeh, the British had again begun to interfere in native affairs.
As Sir F. C. Fuller says: The government is a policy of non-interference in Ashanti affairs. And as he has been the Coast authorities had now been definitely abandoned, but the interference was all directed against, in case of support of the central power. This is considered. Prempeh's task all the more difficult and gradually discouraged and embittered him and the court party. Prempeh, only was beset by the gravest difficulties.
Prempeh, however, did his best to establish cordial relations with the British. He wrote a friendly letter to the British Prime Minister and that he hoped Her Majesty's government would give him all assistance and good advice for the well-governing of his kingdom.
He added: I believe if there is any grievance, Her Majesty's government is able to remove same; and I trust

But the British had decided to, I next his territory. The other European nations were seizers territory nearby. In England, I was to have a long hand in the Gold Coast. The British replied with a proposal to make Ashanti a protectorate.
Prempeh is Decisive
On the other hand, the such sent the following remarkable reply—I reply as noted for its courtesy as it decisive tone.
As the Washington that Ashanti under its present state should come and enjoy the protection of Her Majesty, the Queen and Empress of India, and the other states should consider, and I am happy to say that we have arrived at the conclusion that my kingdom of Ashanti will never commit itself to any such peil.
Ashanti must remain independent as of old and at the same time it is with all white men. We do not have any other men in the clear sense of the meaning.
Ashanti is an independent kingdom and is always with the white men. The king and the other kings are not a permanent for the food wishes entertained for Ashanti; I appreciate to the fullest its kindness.
This comment was replied that Ashanti had not lived up to the treaty of 1874; that it had not paid the indemnity nor kept the road open. Further, the in-law was in rural support England caused by the Ashants of the rise of human sacrifice.
This accusation of human sacrifices has been raised against the Westbinomacy of the fact that those sacrifices were criminals and

Has Prettiest Bright Hair In All New York
The part which exquisite Virginia Wheeler contributes to the success of "Connie's Hot Chocolate," New York's musical hit conceived by Leonard Harper, is attributed to her gorgeous bright, smooth hair as much as her beautiful features.
"My hair looks so soft, even and full of life because I make it that way," says Miss Wheeler. "If you were to see it before I fix it with La-En-Strait hair dressing you would wonder how I manage it because it does not stay so beautifully brushed by itself. La-Em-Strait keeps it in place and gives it that luster as I brush it."
La-En-Strait is very popular with the men who because it is so easy to use and is not greasy. Takes only 30 seconds to make the most stubborn and unmanageable hair smooth and I bright. That's why more than a million folks prefer it. All drug stores have the 25c and 50c packages.

Stepin's writing shows first of all, that he is a builder of a great many air castles; he likes to dream about doing things worth which he likes to build fairy castles, and plan on doing things very worth while. He thinks quickly, and has a good deal of imagination. This helps him in his movie career just as does the emotional side of his nature. He is warm-hearted, kindly, sympathetic, and quite generous.

Would you dare to treat a friend skin you do your stomach?
This is a question worth considering very carefully, because half the misery and suffering that the human race has, exists. Just because men are so good, they do not give their stomachs a fair chance.
The young woman—and the older one, too—who wishes to be beautiful is eager to put something on the outside to add to her good looks.
The misery is the misuse of the beauty comes with perfect health, and that both are greatly affected by the condition of the stomach.
Not long ago young woman with round-worn hair has been to see me. She told me she did not know what to do next, for she had tried everything in order to cure the agile people that formed little knobs on her face and neck. These little places were inflamed, they were hurting her, and what was more, they were completely ruining bad health.
In only a few short weeks, though, she was happy with a perfect skin. The pimples were gone, and she was really beautiful. There was no change in her life of fearfulness. They had to look at a cameo against a light background. She was charming, as she might have been all the time if she had just given thought to the food she

Sometimes she drank orange juice, other times it was grape juice from a grape fruit into which a little lemon juice had been added. She had made a habit of eating meat twice a day. On my advice she ate noodles, noodles and ate whole wheat bread sandwiches made with tomato and onion. Instead of eating heavy meals, she ate her steamed broccoli and satisfied.

KING PREMPEH and the GOLDEN STOOL
(Continued from page three)
---
Might not a West African who saw a criminal being shot, guillotined, or electrocuted after a religious ceremony, ask in maivete what was the difference between his land and those of the Christians?
Killed to Terrorise
Further the object of killing captives and criminals was protection through terror, as in civilized lands. The story of the German sacrifice, according to Sir Francis Fuller and others, who have lived in Ashanti has been greatly exaggerated. Manry of the more unbiased white writers also say that the claims against Prempeh were unjustified.
Finally the British with a war, army marched on Coomassie. The Ashants, also menaced by the Fants, allowed the enemy to come on without resistance.
King Prenpeh received Governor Maxwell, and Colonel Scott, commander of the expedition and his staff in his palace. General Baden-Powe, hero of the Boer War, and founder of the Boy Scout movement, who took part in the expedition, describes the scene as follows:
"And there sits Prenpeh looking very bored as the sarletichad dwarfs of the same day and the dense dance before him amid the dense clouded of sword-bearers, court-crises. He forethemed, and other officials

Prempeh, anxious to preserve the independence of his kingdom offered to pay a huge indemnity. "I am willing to pay," he said, "and beg His Majesty's Government to take a first installment. It is usual for a man before meals to take something to sharpen his appetite. If the governor takes an instalment that will sharpen his; he will look the keener after the remainder."
But this offer availed nothing. The English had come all that way for nothing less than the whole of Prempeh's kingdom. The governor demanded absolute submission and erased Prempeh to be on the pa-rade ground at six o'clock to make aللولمبورمشو.

Editorial
WHAT'S WRONG WITH NEGRO HOSPITAL?
Ever since the dedication of the Houston Negro Hospital on June 19, 1926, the question of what is wrong with this institution has been uppermost in the minds of the colored citizens of this community and even the state.
Now, from all sections of the country come inquiries seeking to know what is the trouble with and at the Houston Negro Hospital, and why it is that it is the only institution of its kind in America, or the world, where certain forces are willing to injure, if not destroy, the hospital in order to maintain one certain person in a position of power and authority.
Of course, The Informer realizes that the idea of a hospital as a health center and not as a place of final resort before crossing the great divide, must be taught and impressed upon our people, who heretofore have regarded such institutions largely as the vestibule to death; but this educational program can not be accepted. The hospital has as its head some person in whom the people, for whom the hospital was erected to serve, have no confidence or goodwill.
In opposing the present superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital, The Informer wishes to reiterate that it has no personal dislike for the present head of the institution, nor has this paper poured any journalistic spleen upon any person connected in an official capacity with the local Negro hospital; but this paper possesses definite and well-fixed ideas and notions about the maintenance and operation of such a plant, and we venture to believe that the institution will be greatly affected by the present superintendent, nor with the system now in vogue in connection with the management and control of the hospital.
The Informer takes the position that no member of the white race, it matters not what position he occupies, should try to force any Negro upon the colored citizenry of this or any other community, if the colored citizens object to the said person occupying such a position; and the fact that the Houston Negro Hospital is supposed to be a charitable gift to the Negroes of this community, does not alter this attitude one whit.
There is an old adage that "beggars can't be choosers," but even mendicants should and do enjoy and exercise some rights which are warranted to all men by the laws of God and man. The community has reached the conclusion that the Negroes of Houston should be satisfied with anything, as it relates to this hospital, and that agitation for the removal of the present superintendent will cause the race to lose this institution sooner or later.
If this hospital should be taken away from the Negroes of Houston because they object to a woman serving as superintendent who does not possess the necessary characteristics for the office, and who on the other hand has proven a millstone around the institution's neck, then the gift of the hospital is bare and its supposed ideals and purposes become a hollow mockery.
The day of big stick, bluff, intimidations, threats, duress and extra-legal methods has passed, and there are some people who can not be driven or frightened from the path of right by any such procedure; and those who essay to invoke and employ such tactics are not sure that their efforts are futile. An enlightened public opinion will not countenance, condone or support any such program.
Most assuredly, if the Houston Negro Hospital were given to the Negroes of this community, then these people certainly have a right to express their preference for the type of man or woman they desire to serve as superintendent of the institution, as well as having the right to express their preference. Going a bit further, these same colored citizens have the inherent and constitutional right to register their objections and protests against any person serving in an official role at this hospital, and for any one to charge that this opposition and objection to the present superintendent is being fostered and propagated by a minority "radical element" is a base and wilful fabrication and a parsimonious employee of the hospital. The same colored citizens are objecting to the present superintendent of the Houston Negro Hospital because she is a stickler for system and will not permit the institution to get into a slippad, happy go- lucky condition, is the idle chatter of malicious or misinformed persons; but what will efficiency and proficiency amount to, if same are not backed up with common sense, tact and disposition to get along with the people one is working for business on May 15, 1927, the numerous employees at the Houston Negro Hospital, under the reign and rule of the present superintendent and her chief Nordic adviser and devotee, have come and gone with regularity; and the ax has fallen recklessly upon registered nurses, office help and other employees about the premises.
Are we to accept the explanation that all of these persons have the right to express their preference, incompetent or unfit for their various tasks, and the superintendent, like the kings of old, can do no wrong? That she is perfect and incapable of committing
THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1929
errors? That, like the pope at the vatican, she is infallible, without spot or blemish?
LOCAL
HAPPENINGS
Among the fourteen millions of Negroes in America, is it a lamentable fact that there is only one person in these United States to serve as executive head of the Houston Negro Hospital? Aside from the ruthless and reckless employment and discharge of hospital help during her administration, what has the present situation with the unique hospitalization plan evolved when the institution was formed?
Mia Viola Hill has returned home a six-week vacation at Seabreak. Elmore G. Hill, Chicago, is visiting mrs. Mrs. E. J. Nelson, 415-755-7222.
What has she done to "sell" the hospital to the Negroes of Houston? How many organizations has she contacted and what kind of cooperation has she been able to get from the religious, professional, social, civic and business leaders of this community?

Is it true, as charged in a letter from the white head of one of the institutions where the present local superintendent saw short and unsatisfactory service, that she boasts of her Indian lineage, only prates of the fact that she has no Negro blood in her veins?
M. Larry Edmondson and daughter, Vera and Amanda, left Thursday, who will attend where they will spend the week-end. Mr. and Mr. George Hall, 250 Dallas, were called to Braxoria Court to attend the funeral of Mr. Mafia Hall.
Did the present superintendent mistreat and humiliate Miss P. A. Newby, the North Carolina nurse who was brought here and then refused the position previously tendered to the by executive head of the Houston Negro Hospital, to "get even" with the young lady for some differences they had some years ago at Hubbard Hospital, Nashville.

Mrs. Susie Mau Carter and children of Beaumont are in the city visiting aunt, Mrs. Mamie Allen, 309 Polk. Mrs. Pearl Mearl Head Ocampo, San Francisco, Calif., is visiting her sister, Marcia, 141 Suiam, and other relatives.
Why did the superintendent turn against Prof. I. M. Terrell the one man who was largely responsible for her being connected with the local institution, after he had brought her here against the advise and counsel of local doctors and others who knew something about the inability of the present head of the local hospital to ret along with members of her own race?
Missy Rubey Lee and Mattie Bedford, 3505 Cline, were numbered in the book. Wiley College, Marshall, Monday, Mrs. Sarah Bonner of New York City, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. Bedford last Saturday for her home.
In the hospital the personal property of the superintendent and has chief advisory autocrat, or does the institution belong to the chief administrator.

For the last two years the Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas—formerly presided over by Dr. L. K. Williams, now of Chicago and present head of the National Baptist Convention of America, Inc., and Rev. A. L. Boone, now pastoring one of the largest Baptist churches at Cleveland, Ohio—has been torn asunder, not because of any difference of opinion concerning the doctrines, polity and fundamentals of the church, but rather over offices and the "spoils."

The rift occurred originally at Paris in 1927, when a successor to President Boone was chosen, and the smouldering embers were fanned into fire last year at Sherman, when the election of officers became the order of the day.
Charges and counter-charges have flown thick and fast from both factions, and, despite the fact that denominational agencies and causes are suffering due to lack of moral support and financial backing, both factions have raised sufficient funds to wage legal litigation in the courts of the land.
Any denomination has drifted upon dark and dismal days when it must resort to carnal tribunals to settle and adjudicate matters purely religious and connectional; and our Baptist brethren in this state, by their continual and persistent wrangling, bickering and fighting, are not only injuring and hampering their own paring and disregarding but they are arresting discord and bringing disgrace upon their race and giving Christianity an ebony-haed optic.

In order for belligerents to put a cessation to their battle, both sides must be willing to agree to an armistice, and if they are sincere in their *desires* for peace and resumption of friendly relations, their groups will make certain concessions to attain the desired end.
Mr. W. M. Reese, wife of Dr. W. M. Reese, died in ill at the family home, 1299 Bayside, is somewhat better and hopes to be with her school dutes at Hippe's Hospital.
Even denizens of the underworld and habitues of dives and sinful resorts will often declare a truce and attempt to work together harmoniously for their common good; and it appears to the Informer that, if these professed Christian leaders are true followers of the teachings of Peace, they should be more than willing to hatch a hatchet with the olive branch of peace, and get about their Father's business.
God can not use any man or set of men in his human-reclamation and soul-salvation program, who wrangle and content about unprincipled and selfish matters.
Isn't there some Baptist in Texas who can so marshal these forces that he can bring peace out of confusion and order out of chaos?
Are we suffering with such a dearth of religious leadership among the Baptists in this state that no man is available to take the lead in healing the breech between these two warring and contending factions?
After two years of court actions, newspapers articles, tirades and attacks on platforms and pulpits, district and state divisions, is it not possible that there is enough of the spirit of Jesus Christ left among these brethren to exemplify the teachings of their Master?

While these denominational leaders are striving and snorting about who will be president of the state convention, and who will occupy this office and hold that position, their constituents are becoming disgusted and demoralized, and many of the local churches are facing a literal starvation period, both spiritually, financially and otherwise.
BEGINS FALL MUSIC CLASSES
The fall music term of Mrs. P. O. Smith, popular music teacher, will get underway on Friday at the studio 1902 Rice Street. Instruction given both to individuals and classes with attention to be brought home. Fare is $10.
Men who are so obsessed with the desire for office and its emulations that they will resort to any extremes to attain such ends, are not worthy of the support and confidence of self-respecting men and women (in the church and in the family and women) in these local churches can end this whole fiasco toorrow, if they would only show some moral courage and withdraw all support from these wrangling and bickering pastors and religious leaders until they (the denominational leaders) cease their involvement and contention and return to the ancient landmarks of the church.

During October these two factions will hold state conventions, and we are hoping that they will be able to bury all differences, line up behind some good and able man, select them as their lead, and lead them to a victory that over a worthwhile and commendable connection program.

Since the ministers seem to be unable to lead the denomination out of this wilderness of confusion, bickering, suspicion, distrust, mistrust and petty politics, the Informer suggests that they compromise on some well-prepared, conscientious hayman, and place the toga of leadership upon his shoulders, and then join in the denomination's cause. The Informer concludes from the position that the denomination's cause will not get very far along this line under the type of ministerial leadership we have in Texas today.
