Native of Anderson country, South Carolina, where he was born in 1881, he migrated to Arkansas with his parents in 1888 and entered the schools of North Little Rock in 1891. His oratorical ability was manifest at an early age as he was valeditor of his class in the Union High school of Little Rock.

American cities by department of labor investigators. The cities included Chicago, New York, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Cleveland. The survey shows that in practically every city women composed from 5 to 15 per cent of the bread winners of the family. In one city the number of feminine mainstays outnumbered the men more than three to one. This was in Johnstown, N. Y., where 76.9 per cent of the sources of income for families were women. This high percentage is due to the fact that glove making is a leading industry of the town, and furnished work which women can do at home. According to the survey the percentage of families having income from children totals 18.6 per cent. The percentage of families having income from the earnings of wives varies widely in different cities. In Chicago the percentage of families having income from the earnings of wives was 12.3; Cincinnati, 13.3; Cleveland, 6.5; Columbus, O., 8.9; Dallas, 9.3; Denver, 3.9; Des Moines, 11.8; Detroit, 46; Indianapolis, 4.1; Kansas City, 10.7; Memphis, 39; Minneapolis and St. Paul, 6.3; New York, 15.1; Portland, Ore, 11.2; San Francisco, 4.3; Seattle, 7.1; Louis, 4; Wichita, Kan., 9.3. IS DIAMOND MINE Johannesburg, South Africa, Feb. 13. —Tlaring, a waterless, treeless and virtually gameless desert near Taungs, in Bechuanaland, promises to be the scene of the biggest diamond claim staking rush in South African history. It is understood that Tlaring will be declared open for diamond digging about March 20. Amazing stories are afloat concerning the wonderful richness of the district and prospective diggers from the cape to the Zambesi and Mozambique, and even the Congo, are preparing to try their luck in the new field. Men Leave Jobs. Despite warning of possible afilure, men are abandoning good jobs in various parts of the country in order to be free to stake out claims when the proclamation is issued. Hundreds of women also are arranging to go to the new diggings. The government is preparing to cope with the anticipated rush to Tlaring and a township to receive the new community is being laid out. Tariffs is situated about forty miles south of Vryburg and about 100 miles north of Kimberley, the last named place famous for its great diamond mines.

DYER PRESENTS ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Law to Fine Counties in Which Lynchings Occur Washington, Feb. 13.—Federal anti-lynching legislation was being considered by the house judiciary committee today. Two bills have been introduced, one providing for drastic federal action against those responsible for lynching, and the other for congressional investigation of the underlying causes of ra- MemphisM en Plan Coffin Factory Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 9.—The undertakers and businessmen of the south are organizing a $200,000 corporation for the manufacture of caskets and coffins in Memphis, to be known as the Tri-State Casket and Coffin company, for the purpose of supplying caskets for the colored undertakers of the south. The enterprise will be one of the largest industrial propositions in the country, financed exclusively with race capital. The company is now negotiating for a site for the plant, which it hopes to have in operation by October 1st, with about 150 men employed. Among the more prominent, men interested in the company are T. H. Hayes, president and general manager; R. R. Church; C. E. Rush, of Little Rock, leader of the Mosiac Templars of the World; J. C. Martin, of Jackson, Tenn, financial secretary of the Methodist publishing board; Dr. R. A. Williams of Chicago, supreme president of the Royal circle; Weyman Wilkerson, Memphis banker and undertaker and John L. Webb of Yazoo City, Miss., supreme president of the Woodmen of the Union. Dr. S. A. Furniss, Able Physician and City Councilman, Selected as One of Indiana's Three Representatives on G. O. P. Platform Building Committee. Friends of Dr. S. A. Furniss, one of Indianapolis's most prominent physicians, politician and city councilman, are particularly illiterate by the signal honor, and politically conferred upon him connection with the political activities of W. H. Hayes, chairman of the republican national committee. Dr. Furniss, together with R. R. Church of Tennessee, are the only men of color that were honored with an appointment on a special advisory committee on politics and platform in connection with the republican party campaign doing. The committee, which was announced on Thursday of last week by Mr. Hays, is composed of 171 members. cial antagonisms. Representative Mason (Illinois) would have a commission of nine, appointed jointly by the president and the congress to investigate the Negro situation. The anti-lynching bill, as introduced by Representative Dyer (Missouri) provides that the county in which a lynching occurs shall be fined not less than $5,000 nor more than $10,000 for the use of the dependents of the man whose life has been taken. That Chairman Will H. Hays, of the republican national committee would hold an all day conference with the leading republicans of the country at the Lincoln league convention in Chicago on Lincoln's birthday, can be stated on the highest authority. That two of the leading candidates for the republican presidential nomination will address the league during one of its two days' sessions seems equally assured. That no gathering of colored political leaders since the days of Frederick Douglass will approach that of the organization whose executive leader is Hon. Robert R. Church, of Tennessee, from any point of view, either size or strength is certain. That the stalwart young Tennesseean and delegate-at-large from his state will be the means of putting colored men from more than one state as national committeeman and that many other triumphs will soon follow the Lincoln league convention is confidently predicted. New York state chairman of the league, George W. Harris, announced Wednesday the following partial delegates nominated by the state committee to represent the Empire state. The additional members' list will be issued on Feb. 5, through this medium. Those already selected include Messrs. Fred Chew, of Troy; W. Fred Trotman, Dr. Roland Johnson, Fred B. Watkins, Robert G. Lattimore, Dr. Wiley Wilson, John E. Nail, Dr. Geo. Harshall, Guilford M. Crawford, Dr. Yorke Russell, Edgar D. Cornish, Thomas H. Evans, N. B. Marshall, S. J. Freacam, E. W. Stokien, S. H. Bell, R. O. Thibou, R. M. Winfrey, C. H. Hunter, C. H. Brooks, R. Steadman, W. J. Grandy, Chauncey Hooper and James C. Thomas. BALTIMORE GRANTS RACE PLAYGROUND Contributes $10,000 for Park and Play Ground. Baltimore is probably the leading southern city in the provision for supervised play. The local Playground association has been at work for a number of years, and public approval of its work is shown by the city appropriation of $25,000 for its yearly budget. This sum is for the fourteen park playgrounds and for the recreation pier. One of these playground is for colored children. The association also maintains twenty-eight stations for play-guilds and story tellers, four of which are for colored children; three school playgrounds for white children, and four for colored and several churchyard and institutional playgrounds.

That CHairman Will H.

Tf you silence the Negros’ press, you bridle his tongue, tie his main arm of defense, impede his progress and leave him helpless in the hands of his enemies who are driving him from the poll, chasing him from his fireside, dragging him through the streets of the cities and burning him at the stake. If the ‘/Graham sedition bill’? be- comes a law and the southern states dispose of scetion 6 in the manner in while hthey have bundled the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, the Negro press, that sheds one sympathizing tear or lifts its Yoice above a whisper on behalf of its ily. treated fellow countrymen, will find ith final resting place upon some funeral pyre. ‘Let every individual Negro and ‘every Nogro organization appeal to their re- spective congressmen to sce to it that the ‘Graham sedition bill’? does not become a law. A SPECIFIO REMEDY. If all states follow the example set by Kentucky at the trial of William Bockett at Lexington thore will be no more lynching while the government stands, Troops were ordered upon the scone in ample timo for the protection of the prisoner. On the date set for the trial the anticipated mob assem- bled outside the court house and pre- pared to storm the temple of justice and take the prisoner. After ‘giving the mob sufficiont warning and time to disperse, the troops fired upon the riot: ers, slaying five of them. ‘The mob ‘im- mediately adjourned sine die: leaving no unfinished business upon the ree: ords, ‘The trial was speedy, but a speedy trial is botter than lynching at any price. ‘There is absolutely no excuse for lynching. In many cases, the officers of the law are dilatory in dispersing a mob and thoir action’ serves as a euc for the mob to proceed with the toreh and ax, When the officials of the law do their duty, mobs cease to parad the stroets, burn courthouses, storm jails, unlawfully execute _ prisoners burn homes and’ slay innocent victims DO You AGREE? 0G: CHO CUILOF OF Lhe: Dye ae ere regrettable incident has come to the notice of the writer in the conduct of our so-called prominent Negroes and race leaders at the recital of the cele- brated Negro violinist, Clarence Cam- eron White at St. Pauls’ A. M. E. church last Friday night. Tt is cer- tainly to be deplored that both old and young of both sexes did everything that was against the rules of proper conduct and especially at a concert of this calibre, Tho writer noticed talk- ing, passing of notes, coughing and many other annoying breeches of s0- cial etiquette. é It is certainly hoped that before the arrival of another artist that a change will be made as it is certainly’ needed. How is the younger generation expect- ed to thrive and grow if their elders do not set the proper example before them, It is without a doubt that the music was of too high a class for the majority but the best they could have done was to have been quiet so that others might have enjoyed the wonder- ful music.

The biggest problem on the ‘dark conti- nent’? today is that of the women. They are the abject slaves of the men. It’s considered dishonerable for a man to work, ‘This is the statement of B. M. Sehl- otter, a Presbyterian missionary, who js spending his vacation in Houston after a service of four ‘yeears in the Belgian ‘Congo. Mr. Sehlotter was _en- gaged in field work throughout his four years in Africa, with headquarters at Luebo. Tn speaking of his experiences Mr. Sehlotter said, ‘The natives live en- tirely by superistition. Everything that happens is given some uncanny sig- nifieance, If a party goes hunting and fails to bring in game it is blamed on some one. If lightning strikes a tree some inocent person is selected by the tribal medicine man as the cause of it, and ho is punished or fined. ‘The natives are absolutely groping in darkness, They want to leant but they don’t know how. The influence of Christianity is going a long way to wipe out polygamy. Then, too, the Bel: gian government has started a system of taxation on wives, and that has done a great deal to abolish the evil. ‘Low Whites Worst. <ephe worst influence on the natives is that. of low class white people in the large centers. ‘The people there are al- ways noisy and lawless, but out in the country the natives are very _ simple and quiet, but extremely ignorant. The natives have no home life. They live in mud huts and wear primitive clothes, The home life of the missionaries sets an example for them, and they readily pattern after it.

We used to live in mud houses with straw roofs altogether, but many are building brick houses now. The big white aunts eat wood houses, but the furniture can be protected by care, The aunts don’t sting. The na- ‘tives eat them at certain seasons. We ‘have very good food, as most -of it comes from Europe. "There is always plenty of capt, chickens, goats, sheep and frequently ‘we get canned goods. Fruits are very plentiful. ~ Snakes have been known to get in ‘the houses, especially the mud houses, ‘but the worts menace in the animal line is the crocodile, ‘They live in the rivers and lakes, and wnen the natives ‘are washing or fishing they como up and carry them away. Five men were in a boat one day near the place I was stop- ping and a crocodile turned it over and carrried one of the mem off, His com: rades followed the crocodile down the river and finally killed it. I went ‘through the village and of all the noise ‘that was going on I never heard the like, It sounded the like@: baseball game in the ninth inning. I later learned that they were celebrating the massacre of the crocodile.

The majority of the regular teachers were on their jobs, with the exeeptions of Mrs, Mayweather, Mrs. Glass and Mrs, Somerville, who were on the sick list, As superintendent of the school I want to thank the officers and teach- ers for their splendid co-operation in the work thus far. ‘The district super: intondent had eharge of the decision exercises which were a decided success, in that there were eighteen decisions for Christ, eighteen children ranging in age from 4 to 12 years respectively. ‘Some may doubt the wisdom of this, but if so read Mark 10-14. It was gratifying to note the presence of sev- eral mothers in the school who had brought their little ones to school and when the call was made for those who desired to come forward and stand up for Jesus they were among those that stood, which was just as those mothers did nineteen hundred years ago, they brought their children to Jesus that He might bless. them.

No orator of the race is so well known to colored Americans as Mr. Pickens, Native of Anderson county, South Carolina, where he was born in 1881, he migrated to Arkansas with his ‘parents in 1888 and entered the schools of North Little Rock in 1891. His oratorical ability was manifest at an early age as he was valedictorian of his class in tho Union high school of Little Rock, During his career in Talladega college, Alabama, he led in ail hig studies and won a’ number of oratorical and literary prizes. Upon his being graduated from Talladega, Mr. Pickens entered Yale university in 1902 and here, in a class of 300 men, he ‘eaptured one of that institution’s most ‘coveted honors, the Henry James ,Ten Eyck oratorieal prize. He was also elected to America’s foremost honorary society among col- lege men, Phi Beta Kappa, and was graduated from Yale in the highest rank of his class, deliveting the philoso- phieal oration. A From the time of his graduation from Yale, in 1904, until-he joined the staff of the National Association for the Ad- vancemont of, Colored People in 1020, ‘Mr. (Pickens devoted himself to teach- ing. He was teacher of languages at Talladega, college. and professor of Greek and socielogy at Wiley univer- sity, Texas, becoming dean of Morgan collége in 1915. In the year 1913 Mr. Pickets interrupted his academic career to travel in Europe. With his election as viee president of Morgan college in 1918, Mr. Pickens established a record as the first of his race to hold that office and the office of dean also. ‘The record of Mr. Picken’s serviee to his race is along and varied one. He was a member of the Niagara movement and with J. E. Spingarn he started tho ovement. in Louisville, Kentucky, which resulted in the decision of the United States Supreme court against sogregation in American cities. ‘When he became dean of Morgan col- lege tho plant consisted of one building on a fraction of an acre. He leaves it, after five years, with a dozen buildings and eighty-four acres in the city of Baltimore and with great promise of a bright future. During the war Mr, Pickens. was in- strumental together with Major Spin- garn, in originating the movement for 4 colored officers training camp and the result. was tho first of there’camps at Des Moines, Towa. He was in addition ‘a member of the colored section of the Maryland Council.of Defense. The National Association for the Ad- vaneement of Colored People announces that Mr. Pickens is to have the title of ‘associate field secretary.
