H. Bassett. District Treasurer Burial Department H. W. Wilson. This session bids fair to be one of the best sessions in the history of the order in this district, due to the fact that the grand officers as a whole have realized the importance of meeting the grave responsibilities that rest upon us as individuals by promoting the true principle of brotherly love and fraternal sympathy that enables us at the close of our session to say with the Palmist David: "How good it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." Harmony prevails in our deliberations at this session. Reports of grand officers were the principle business of Wednesday morning's session. All reports show a healthy financial growth during the last twelve months.

ADVOCATE When Men Get Education and Religion, Then They Discover That Color, Hair, Skin, Physical Strength Are Not the Standard to Measure Men By THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER the City This W MIDNIGHT ASSERTS WILL COME OUT SAYS IT IS C When Men Get Education They Discover That C sical Strength Are N Measured Savannah, Ga.—There can surely some good come out of Georgia, and without a doubt it it coming, and the men who are interested in the state, those who are strong enough to rise above prejudice of both sides are going to see to it that law and order will be in the state and that every man will yet have a fair chance before the law, life and property will be secure, and all will sing with David, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity." When men get education and religion, when they discover that color, hair, skin, physical size or strength, are not the standard by which we measure men, but my mind and soul, will and that these are the things that make the God in the man, it will be then that I will take my place, and manhood will be manhood and womanhood will be womanhood, and all the hellish signs "White Only," "Colored Only" will come down. There will be less damphules in the world, especially in this litworld of ours called "America." Of course I am an American citizen, and if you don't believe it, let some one insult this flag of ours and I will give him a heluva time, one he will never forget if there be anything left that can do any remembering. This is the record we have made from time to time. I recall with much pleasure when me and general Grant did our fighting, and how we made them step aside, and while they would not let me do any more figthing, I can tell the boys to go on and give them h—l, or something like that. I have certainly been in some real good company since I have been in this world, and I may get in some more. I was in Washington when I wrote you that other letter, and you will see that I have made my flight from there I was thrown in company with some big men up there in Washington, and then I went to New York to see Dr. W H. Jernagin take his flight across the big Atlantic river ocean, and I guess he is still riding or has landed over there making good for his people. He has developed to be a great man for his race. I spent my time in New York Rev. M. W. Thornton, D.D., who is destined to be one of the bishops in the A. M. E. church, and who wears a gold meda presented to him by the New York conference, for having secured more dollar money than any other one man in his connection. He is just a busy man. Sunday morning, I went over to Baltimore, and preached for the congregation in Trinity A. M. E. church, one of the most aggressive congregations in this country, and then they have an aggressive preacher, Rev. A. L. Gaines, D.D., who is serving his comeback term He was there once before, and made good, and when his time was out, he moved to another point, and then came other pastors. The church was down at the heels and in order that it might come back, then sent Dr. Gaines there. He is a wonderful preacher, and foremost in everything that means good for his people. Dr. Gaines is editing the Commonwealth, of Baltimore, and in this he is pleading the cause of the whole race. God bless and keep him, for the A. M. E. church will need him on the Episcopal bench in 1924, and he is just the proper man for THAT SOME GOOD OF GEORGIA AND COMING, TOO on and Religion, Then Color, Hair, Skin, Phy Not the Standard to Men By the place. It will be a case of rewarding merit and service, for this he has to his credit. Right by his side is to be found his wife, and they have given to the world three or four daughters and they are all married and doing well. The people of Baltimore gave me a hearty welcome, and when I had preached them a sermon without any warning they placed in my hands some carfare, and enough to ride me way down here With or without notice I was told to come again. I was sorry to hear that the Rev. Fred Douglass was being persecuted. I learned all I could about the case, and was sorry that it was persecution instead of prosecution. Such is life in a city like this and the world must continue to go right along. I don't know what I want to say about some of the things which are taking place right in the race. I want to say to this people of mine that we have no representative men to destroy. We should strive to save them Returned to Washington, and toted myself to the stable for this place and found Bishop John Hurst, the sage of Florida, at the stable headed for Jacksonville, Fla. We both rode the Seaboard Air Line wagon right on down town. We did not do any talking for we soon retired in our lower beds and were in the land of Nod. The next morning we had breakfast together and had lunch together, we taked together and I find that he is indeed a good companion to travel with. I enjoyed his company whether he enjoyed mine or not, and it was a real nice trip. I got off here and he continued on the Seaboard to Florida. You would not be real sure nuf human if you did not have a desire to analyze me and know what I am doing here in Savannah, the land of "Williams' Death Farm Fame." Since you want to know I will tell you that I am here attending the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, called by profession and nationality "Brave Men." The very fact that they live in Georgia tells the world that they are brave men, and as such they are working out a great problem. Reaching the city, I got an automobile car carriage drawn by a horse, and loaded myself, and my trunks, and had the man to tote me out to the home of Rev. B. W. Wrenn, one of the leading preachers in the Baptist church, and a full-fledged member of the National Baptist convention. He and his wife received me with open arms and told me to be at home. At night I went to the opening and heard many addresses. Here is where I had the pleasure of meeting Brigadier General G. R. Hutto, of Bainbridge, who is the head of the order in this state and a good one at that. He is an educated man, and has been at the head of the public schools of his city for a long time, and right by his side is another wonderful man and a great physician, Dr. G. N. Stoney of Augusta. He is indeed a remarkable man and a great physician. Dr. Stoney is regarded as a leader in thought in this state, and in this country. He devotes much of his time to the Court of Calanthe. It would take a whole paper for me to tell you about the various men I have met. But I (Concluded on Fourth Page) MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES At 11 A. M., Dr. Ross, of Coffeyville, preached to a large congregation on "Faith," in an elucidating manner. At 8 P. M. he preached from John 11:68, and again in a very pleasant way explained God's Word. Good collections were taken, and a lady from Pueblo, Colo., where the flood was, was given nearly $7 to help the Lincoln home in her state. Deacons Oliver, Johnson, Jackson, Hulsey, McCombs, Jennings, Thomas, Ford, Taylor and other officials were present.

He also had a good rally last Sunday. M. E. CHURCH The Rev. Morrow, pastor of the M. E. church, Ninth street and Oakland avenue, is doing good work. Sunday night a man from the Pueblo flood and another, talked after the sermon. This church is building a new structure. C. M. E. CHURCH The Rev. Bolden, one of Kansas City's favorite preachers, has good services and does good church work. He also has good; faithful members. Their church edifice is nearly completed.

The Kansas City, Kas., Advocate for July 22, 1921 ALONG THE LINE OF REASON Well, Uncle Ike, is you seen anything lately? Yes, Chile, I'se done' seen sumfin terday, which was a little sprin', it sho was. It was whar two ov our Perlice-men has sued a Cullud Gemmen and dey got er lawyer what ain't cullud, to fight de case fur dem. "Well, what er bout dat,—dat ain't nothin'. "Yes, generally it taint nothin-, but in de case ob de Perlicemens what is now on de face, when you thinks of de fight dat was made fur them to git on. And ov the fac, dat dey didn't mak eit demselves; and den thinks of de men who made it fur them; you will conclude dat dey did not do much thinkin. Yes, uncle, it does seem, in the face of the strenuous and continued fight that was made, and of who led it, in order to get these men on the force—that when they had anything in the line to do, that surely of all the Colored professional men in the city, that they could have found one sufficient. It is strange — strange, indeed, that we seem to be made that way, it is almost enough to make us think, when we undertake to do things from a point of Race pride, that it is hardly worth while, but rather it is, "Casting pearls before the swine." "Now, now, Chile, doan git waried—lemme ax you sumpin. Didn't Christ give His life to save men? Yet, on top of that; Did you ever thing of de face, dat most of us has, and keeps the Devil's own religion on han most ov de time; while it takes alot ov paid wurkers all de time, ter git some ov us even. ter git de Lord's religion. An' even when we gits it,—we ain't got it good. No Chile,—I ain't 'scouraged, but Ise gwynter keep on, tryin ter do sumfin, and leave all sech; to dat which dey seem to love. I could tell you a hole let me RUG COMPANY SECURES EFFICIENT MAN Mr W. G. Banks has just returned from Holton, Kansas, where he went to secure the services of one Mr. R. K.

MIDNIGHT cannot refrain from saying that I met Mrs Mary E. Moore, of Boston, Mass., the beauty cul- turist, the manufacturer, the woman who is interested in the evelopment of womanhood, and who came all the way from her home and business in Boston to be here at this meeting. She has placed her articles in the drug store here, in fact she is placing them in our drug stores all over the country, and at the same time making agents. I consider her a wonderful wo- man, and is bringing things to pass. We need such women in this age. Mrs. Mary Nelson Jones, who is at the head of the Calanthe in Georgia, is indeed a wonder- ful woman. She does not hold a diploma from any great uni- versity, but she comes from the school of common sense and practical experience. She is a devoted Christian woman and is a safe leader. Her life alone commends her to the people. Her arm is ever outstretched for those who strive to do things and those who are mak- ing sentiment for her people. She is extending her hands to the girls, and believe me when I tell you the work that she is doing will ever live. Well, everthing is now ready for the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. I am going to be there. Topeka people are ready for the thousands of visitors who are going to be there. It is wonderful how they have gotten things together, and not strange, because Dr. S. H. Thompson, and Mrs. Norene Davis are at the head of affairs in Kansas, and they are backed up by General Thomas Kennedy, the editor and the man. Of course you are going to be there. Georgia will be well represented and I am proud of it. The National Baotist conven: tion will meet in September ir Chicago, but I will have morc time to talk about it. Write tc me. Next week I will be in th Grand Lodge of Knights of Py- thias in Kansas, and as yot read this I will be leaving Wil mington, N. C., where I have been in such meeting and wil tell you about it. J. O. MIDNIGHT. We are informed that Mrs. Ida Wood has purchased a mod- ern 6-room house at Sixth street and Stewart avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lyles, 810 Nebraska avenue, have made their home modern, putting in a bathroom and other modern improvements. Rev. T. D.

CHANGES IN RETAIL PRICES OF FOOD The United States Depart- ment of Labor has completed the compilations showing the changes _in the retail cost of food in June, in nine more prin- cipa Icities of he United States. During the month from May, 15, 1921, there was a decrease of 2% in the retail cost of food in Manchester, Peoria and Ro- chester; a decrease of 1% in Birmingham, Detroit and Jack- sonville; and a decrease of one tenth of one per cent in Rich- mond. In St. Louis there was an increase of 3%, and in Salt Lake City, an increase of three- enths of one per cent. For the year period, June 15, 1921, there was a decrease of 31% in Jacksonvile; 32% in Richmond; 84% in Birming- ham and Manchester; 36% in Rochester; 37% in_ St. Louis and Salt Lake City; 38% in Pe- oria; and 40% in Detroit. As compaed with June 15, 1918, he reail cost of food on June 15, 1921, showed an in- crease of 29% in Salt Lake City; 37% in Jacksonvile; 45% iin Detroit; 46% in Manchester; 49% in Birmingham and St. Louis; and 55% in Richmond. Prices were not obtained from Peoria and Rochester in 1913, hence no comparison for the 8- year period can be given for these two cities. LYNCHING RECORD FOR FIRST 6 MONTHS 1991 I send you the following in- formation concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find, according to the records compiled by the depart- ment of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute, Monroe N.

This is 24 more than the number 12 for the first ix months of 1920. and 7 more than the number 29 for the first six months of 1919. Of those lynched, 2 were whites and 34 were negroes Two of the latter were women Eleven of those put to death were charged with the crime ot rape. ’ The states in which lynching: occurred and the number it | each state are as follows: Ala, | bama, 1; Arkansas, 4; Florida 4; Georgia, 9; Kentucky, 1 Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 10 Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2 South ‘Carvina, 1; Tennessee, 1 R.
