IT WILL PAY YOU TO PATRONIZE OUR XMAS ADVERTISERS --- MIDNIGHT DROPS TEAR WHEN HE COULD NOT REMAIN FOR ROAST TURKEY Will Spend Holidays in Chicago With His Best Friend Method, N. C., Dec. 11.—I suppose you are going to say that I am the most ridingest and travelingest man in this country when you are not where I was when I wrote that other letter and then see where I am when I write this one, and then when I tell you all the places I have been you will just open your eyes and mouth and exclaim "Can it be possible?" But death has been getting in its work, and I must pause before that to tell you that several others have gone into the Great Beyond and they are going to make me welcome when I get over there. Of course you know I am going over there some day, but I am not in a hurry to leave you, yet I am getting so many friends over there until I think it matters not. I was just talking about the death of the Rev. Dr. E. P. Jones, known among the Odd Fellows as "Mississippi Jones," and the leader of the Boyd contingent of the National Baptist convention. Then word reached me that E. H. McKissack had also gone over, and he was a big Mississippi Odd Fellow, but then came a letter from Mrs. Juanita Charlton, Beaumont, Texas, announcing the death of Mrs. Fannie Charlton-Gray, one of the leading lights in Beaumont, and the wife of S. N. Gray, the dru-gist. This was an automobile car carriage accident, a case where the automobile car carriage turned over, but the newspaper did not tell just how it happened, but she is no more with us. She was one of the women who believed in serving others and devoted to her church work. I noted that among the last acts of her life was to decorate the Antioch Baptist church of which she was a member for the graduating exercises of the cradle roll of the Sunday School. So beautiful and artistic was the work, that many went to see it, and it remained in the church for several days. But she has gone from us now, and I pause to pay tribute to a great woman. Now let me come back to where I was, for in my last letter, I was about to leave Cameron, Texas, giving good bye to friends and shaking the dust from my feet. Mrs. L. M. Hughes was baking one more turkey, but I could not remain to put my feet on his carcass, but Mr. Turk will never know the difference. When I left the city I was not feeling, well, and had orders to go to bed, and went into Waco to carry this out. It was Sunday morning and I thought that I should go to church, so to church I went. It was 11 o'clock, and the Rev. Dr.J. Newton Jenkins, pastor of the New Hope Baptist church was about to take his text. They were singing the last song prior to preaching. He invited me to the pulpit, and then asked me to preach. I just put my hands to it, and trusted the rest with God, and I tried it out, and did not suffer. Honey, they have one more fine church in this place, and I am so glad that I got there. I toted to them the word and when I was through they gave me some money and I had my invitations to dinner. The officers and members of this church work, together just like the works in a well regulated clock, and they are doing great things. Dr. Jenkins is a leader of men. After taking some rest, B. T. Wilson sent his has been over to take me riding before time for me to shake the Waco dust from my feet. If you have never seen his has been you will not understand just what I mean, but it got me over the city just the same, and I called to see Mrs. J. F. Williams, the wife of the President of Paul Quinn college. She was glad to see me and I was glad to see her. Dr. J. F. Williams is doing a great work out there, and I am going back some day and devote a whole letter to Paul Quinn college. Off then for Tyler, reaching there SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 about. 1 o'clock Monday morning, and when I stepped off of that iron carriage, and looked up I saw a young woman coming toward me smiling. She shook my lily black hand, and then introduced me to Mr. Banks, the brother of President W. R. Banks of Texas college. "I am here to meet you," she said, "and when I heard that you were coming I decided that I would come to meet you myself. My husband and sister are waiting to welcome you to our home." She was the wife of President W. R. Banks, of Texas college, and put it down that I told you that she is one more brilliant woman. She is from Georgia. They have a fine plant in Texas college and are doing things there. I want to congratulate all the C. M. E. church, and anyone else who had anything to do with the erection of that fine building there. Reaching there, I found that they had plenty fruit and hot water for me to get rid of some of the train dirt, and were ready to feed me till I wanted no more. It was after my eating hours. I met the following teachers: President W. R.-Banks, Professors D. C. Fowler, L. D. Patton, J. D. Martin, L. W. Gordon, J. B. Morris, R. H. King, Mrs. W. R. Banks, Misses Ruth Washington, Ruth O. Collins, N. Arlene Jackson, Josie B. Robinson, Angie L. Harper, Mary Lee Lane, Elizabeth T. Perry, and there are others connected with the school. It is just like one happy family, and they are working together for the youth unlift. The night was spent, the next day up to 1 o'clock and then off for Pine Bluph, where I spent another part of a night. You see it is a great thing to be able to ride in the day and stop over. I was to stop over at the state school, got an automobile car carriage, rode out there, but believe me Superintendent Malone is some sleeper, and I couldn't raise him, hence had to return to the stable, called up Dr. F. P. Lytes, the tooth dentist doctor and was soon in his home. Next morning started for Little Rock, got about 30 miles away, discovered that I had left a part of my baggage and had to return, visited the school, spoke to the young people and then off for Memphis. Mrs. Lula Blount-Bryant, met me at the stable with some of the best chicken it has been mine to eat. Memphis was reached, and there I found Miss B. C. Ford awaiting with a young man to tote me to my stopping place. I stopped with Mrs. Grant on Mississippi Boulevard, had a fine time there, and then off next day for Birmingham. Spent a few hours with Editor Adams and his wife, visited Tuggle institute, found Mrs. Fannie Cosby-Blevins, the new president, as busy as could be. I met other, Mrs. Lena Blount, grand worthy counsellor, Mrs. Lena Sherrod, head of Rising Sons and Daughters of Protection, and Herbert H. Glover was filling his position in the 'office as secretary to the Grand Worthy Counsellor. In the afternoon I was off for Atlanta, and there is where I saw a few things. I spent the night at the home of Dr. D. W. Cannon, of the Baptist church, and president of the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress. He was a busy man, and I shall never forget his kindness. Dr. John Hope was out of town, but I met him later, before I left, also Dr. Robert R. Moton, of the Great school. The Federal Council of Churches of America was in session in Atlanta, and both races—in fact all the races were represented and for one time I saw the color line wiped out in Atlanta, and all the delegates mingled together and there was no white section or colored section, but all were seated where they desired. I may have more to say about this later. I got in touch with some friends, there, met Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Bishops A. L. Gaines, R. C. Ransom, of the A. M. E. church, Bishops Phillips, Carter, and Cleaves of the C. M. E. church, Bishops Caldwell, Lee and Clement of the A. M. E. Zion church, and Dr. I. A. Thomas, W. H. Jernagin, T. H. White and Charles Stewart of the Baptist faith and Treasurer A. D. Quilliams, and Dr. J. James Bryant, were also there. I visited the meeting, had a good reception, and then off for Raleigh, reaching here Sunday morning at 2 o'clock, found Hon. Berry O'Kelly the capitalist, the man for his people, awaiting my arrival. He toted me in his automobile car carriage to his home at Method, N. C., where he is GEORGIÁ SENATOR APPEALS TO COOLIDGE TO DISPLACE LINK JOHNSON'S PATRONAGE POWER FOR THE STATE. (Crispus Attucks News Service) Washington, D. C., December 11.—One of the first acts a democratic senator performed upon the convening of Congress, was to appeal to President Coolidge in an effort to have the dispensing patronage of Link Johnson for the state of Georgia displaced because of the fact he was a Negro. Senator George, with Senator Pat Harrison, was seen in and around Indiana and Illinois, attempting to persuade Negroes to vote the democratic ticket for their good as they said at that time, now seems to feel that it is for the good of the Negro, that Link Johnson should be displaced with his duly elected authority as National Committeeman for the State of Georgia. In filing his complaint with the President, Senator George is understood to have charges that he had received numerous complaints from applicants for various offices who charge "Grave Irregularities" in the dispensation of Federal patronage in Georgia. It must be remembered that Senator George is a Democrat, who opposed President Coolidge during the election, and Colonel Johnson, is a Republican who worked for President Coolidge, during the election. CITIZEN'S FORUM. The Forum had one of its best programs December 7th, but not the largest crowd, as the largest crowd was Governor's Day. The Music Clubs gave a fine program. Professor Reynolds presided and Professor Brown accompanied many songs. Nearly everything was enced. Prof. Marquiss, at one time principal of Summer, was present and asked to talk. President Bronson said the program was so excellent we would accept it in silence, like Lincoln's great speech at Gettysburg. Some on the program were little Helen Thomas, Mr. Jackson, O. Mecks, Mrs. Kinard, Night School Female Quartet, Mrs. F. Thomas, Helen Battles and N. E. Junior Girls' quartet. Next Sunday, December 14 the Forum will have another fine program at Metropolitan. Come one, come all. Messrs. W. M. Thomas, Melvin Martin, Eugene English and N. Nuttall are appointed Forum ushers. Bishop A. J. Carey of Chicago, stopped over Wednesday night with Rev. C. E. Brooks and family, 1111 North Eighth street, being on his way home from a western trip to California, St. Paul, Vancouver and Denver. DOUGLASS HOSPITAL CLUB TO HOLD ANNUAL CHRISTMAS GGREETING The Douglass Hospital Club, will hold their annual Christmas greeting Tuesday, December 23rd, at the hospital corner of Quindaro Blvd., and Springfield avenue. Friends of the institution are invited to visit the hospital and anything you may bring, will be appreciated. The club meeting was held last Friday, at the nurses home, Mrs. Susie Williams, matron. Friday, December 19 the club will meet with Mrs. Beatrice Childs, 2025 Springfield avenue. M. A. TURNER, Pres. BENELLA BOONE-LEE, Secy. postmaster—in fact all the town as I have been able to tell you before. His wife was up awaiting me that hour in the morning. Such is life. I am now in Method, but will be in Durham before the day is closed, for already Mr O'Kelly has told me that he is going to take me to Durham, and from there I go to Winston-Salem, N. C., to see what headway I can make with the Masons. I will tell you all about it in my next letter. I think they are going to make a Clandestine Mason or some high up. I will tell you all about it in my next letter. Pray for me, and write me at 4823 Calumet avenue, Chicago, where I am going to hang up my stockings for Christmas. I think I will have to stop here for this time, as I am not to use all the paper. J. O. MIDNIGHT. ADVOCATE J. M. MARCUS, FORMER HIGH SCHOOL : PRINCIPAL VISITS FRIENDS HERE. Prof. J. M. Marcus of Philadelphia, Pa., was in the city Saturday and Sunday visiting old friends. Professor Marcus was principal of Sumner high school for a number of years and resigned to take the presidency of Langston University, Langston, Oklahoma, leaving there about two years ago, going to his present home, where he is in the real estate business and has had great success. Prof. Marcus is one of the race's brilliant scholars. He was on his return trip from the South where he has large interests and where his relatives live. His friends were exceedingly glad to see him and to know his family were well and happy. CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY. Mrs. Minty Taylor of Kansas City, Mo., the aunt of Mrs. B. S. Jones, died Tuesday of last week, and was buried Saturday from St. Paul's Church. Rev. D. A. Holmes, officiated. Mrs. Richardson's Mission Division met at Mrs. A. S. Dow's, 12th and State.

PAYNE, Pastor NATIONAL HONOR FOR NEGRO SECRETARY TO TREASURG (By Crispus Attucks News Service) Secretary Andrew Mellon, is to attend the 150th anniversary of the matriculation in Columbia JCollege of Alexander Hamilton, who was a Negro and the first secretary of the treasury. It is intended to observe each year the birthday of Hamilton and try to make the same a national holiday. It was Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin, who planned and financed America, after the Revolutionary War, bringing this great country out of chaos into a healthy financial condition, which enabled her to take her place beside other world powers, during her dark days, when few men believed in the possible. MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH REV. E. M. MOSELEY, Pastor The members and friends of Mt. Olive church met and had a glorious meeting. The weather was very inclement and the morning congregation was only fair. The pastor's text, Mark 1:34: "And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him." He preached a good sermon and every one seemed to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit. He proved the existence of a power over the evil spirit. He proved that Jesus destroyed the power of the evil spirit in mankind and made it possible for us to see the light of life. The pastor preached a good sermon at night. All enjoyed his remarks from the revelations of the spirit to John on Palmas island. The contributions were good. The clubs and auxiliaries announced their weekly meetings. Sister Martha Scott of 18 North James, is sick. Pray for the sick. Come-to church and help give glory to God. Read the Advocate. THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER THE STAR OF HOPE—A CHRIST- MAS CANTATA. At First A. M. E. Church Christmas Morning at 5 O'Clock DRAMATIZATION AND SINGING OF 50 TRAINED VOICES. The First A. M. E. choir and the Junior choir, two of the greatest musical bodies in the west, will render Christmas morning a Cantata "The Star of Hope" said to be by critics one of the masterpieces in song that has been produced by any genius of the music world. Both choirs have been rehearsing for several weeks and will continue until Christmas. Mary and the Baby of Bethlehem will be exhibited in costume and the wise men of the East, with the Inn and the manger showing the place where the Savior was born. Searchlights will be installed for the occasion. Many from the surrounding towns are preparing to be present that they might hear this wonderful musical cantata. Many will come to the church Christmas eve and remain all night, so as to be sure of not oversleeping themselves. No one should miss it. Ophelia Jackson, organist and director; Miss Bertha Green, pianist. Mrs. Saunders, mother of Mrs. B. I. Worthy, is seriously ill, we hope for her a speedy recovery. CHURCH NEWS. The weather being inclement the audience was not as large as usual, but the spirit of the service was none the less. The pulpit was filled by that old veteran of many years service for the Lord, Rev. Jordon Allen. While this old sage has seen his four score and a few more years added, he had the vigor and tone of speech of many half his age. The sermon was one that fired the congregation throughout the services. Communion was administered after the close of the sermon and also at the evening service. Mrs. Rev. Lee delivered a spiritual message at the evening service, which was enjoyed by her hearers. The sabbath school had a fine lesson and a goodly number were present. The Allen Leagues had one of its best programs Sunday evening after studying the lesson. They had as their principal speaker, Prof. J. M. Marcus, of Philadelphia, Pa., who some years ago was the scholarly principal of Summer high school. More than two hundred were in attendance. The League will render a Christmas program Sunday, December 21. The Blind Boone Concert Company will be at First church next Wednesday night the 17th. Rev. C. E. Brooks preached the communion sermon, at St. Paul's church, Argentine, last Sunday, it being their quarterly meeting. Come out Sunday and hear a spiritual sermon. Come out to class tonight. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES. The Sabbath of December 7, 1924, was observed well by many members and friends of Metropolitan Baptist Church. After a good Sunday School at 11 a. m., Dr. Bronson preached an intelligent sermon on "The Blind man Receiving His Sight by Faith and Obedience to Christ." and applied it to sinners who are blind without the light of faith from God. At 6 p. m. the B. Y. P. U. had a good program. At 8 p. m., after the leader led the congregation in singing the beautiful song "It Pays to Serve Jesus," Pastor Bronson presented the Sacrament sermon in a way he has not before. It was a fine sermon on the Lord's Supper. Several were fellowshipped and united with the church. The Sunday School, under Miss L. Plummer, are practicing a Christmas play. The church will have its Christmas sermon Christmas morning at 5 o'clock. The choirs will have special music and enrobed and with candles will have a grand processional like they had last year. Everybody is invited to attend Metropolitan Christmas morn. The Mission Circles are doing well in their divisions. Next Sunday, December 14, Pastor Bronson will preach more fervent sermons. All are invited to Metropolitan Church. Number 17 COLORED POLICEMAN CALLED TO CURB CONFEDERATE'S ROW Apology Demanded of Washington Police Chief for Sending Negro Policeman, by Congressman Gasque of South Carolina. (Crispus Attucks News Service) Washington, D. C., Dec 11. "I think, to say the least, it is an outrage for a Negro policeman to be sent by the city government of Washington to preserve order among a group of Southern ladies, especially when there are so many white policemen in the District of Columbia." Will you please tell me who was responsible for this and why it was done? As a Southern man and member of Congress on the District Committee, I resent this action of the Police Department and respectfully demand an explanation. I also think you should appeal before that body and explain this action or apologize for it." Thus spoke Congressman Gasque of South Carolina, to Major Sullivan on account of sending Patrolman Braxton (colored) to the United Daughters of the Confederacy Home, 1322 Vermont avenue, N. W., when a call was sent in to the Second Precinct Station House for police protection during a stormy session over the election of the officers for the ensuing year. It seems as though Stonewall Jackson and Robert Lee could not agree and Thomas Jefferson became a little alarmed at the trend of affairs, when someone called Captain Peck on the phone for an officer. Braxton, a long and faithful trusted arm of the law was sent as is characteristic of the Metropolitan Police Department, regardless of color, especially under the leadership of Major Sullivan. Before he had chance to fully realize what it was all about, Braxton found himself face to face with the stern portraits of Stonewall Jackson, Thomas Jefferson and Robert E. Lee, as well as in the midst of the Daughters of the Confederate gentlemen, who had in years gone by, held the iron hand of ownership, probably over his ancestors. Here he was sent to restore peace in a convention of Southern white women. "A Perfect Gentleman," Says Mrs. Odenheimer. So tactful and diplomatic was Officer Braxton, that when inquiry was made as to the possible objection of a colored officer being sent, that Mrs. Frank G. Odenheimer, one of the delegates, frankly admitted that "the officer behaved like a perfect gentleman, and I respected his uniform." Others spoke of how diplomatic he was in leaving immediately when he found that his appearance had restored order, saying, "He would remain on the sidewalk for a time in case he was needed." So thorough had he done his job, that some of the delegates protested that he remain inside, which he refused to do, but did wait on the outside. Commending on the letter from Congressman Gasque, Major Sullivan said, "The matter was a regular routine affair under Captain Peck." Captain Peck is in charge of the Second Precinct to which Braxton is attached. When informed of Congressman Gasque's demand of an apology, the captain said, "They called for an officer, I sent them one and I have no apologies to make." Braxton is hailed as an excellent officer by many of the white people on his beat, which he has been on for some time and inquiry brought out the fact that he is highly respected and liked at the precinct by even his fellow officers. TO HAVE GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY Rev. and Mrs. J. D. Smith announce their Fiftieth wedding anniversary, which will be held next Sunday, December 14, at the Third Christian church, Fifth street and Cleveland avenue. Hourse from 2 to 7 p. m.
