Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. BRADLEY WINS School Board Ignores BRADLEY School Boa The O COMM 11:01 committee was ignored and denied a hearing before the School Board. They had been led to expect when they filed their complaint with the Secy of the Board * * * they would have a hearing after the teachers had filled their answers. We don't know * * whether the Supt. ever permitted the complaint to reach * * * the Board but we do know that the old Board would at least give the people a hearing whether they granted their request or not. (The Board had the might to deny a hearing). We think the people were entitled to a hearing even though their request were denied. We understand a report was carried to the Board that the committee desired to dictate appointments. The report is made of whole cloth. The opposition to the people's committee were defeat ed until they got the big boss Bradley in the game and then the little fellows were compelled to play on the edges. It was the fellows that peddled the lies on the street and elsewhere. Some of the lies carried to the white folks by the small guy were, that the committee desired to have mixed schools, that they were against Booker T. and favored Duboise (as a matter of fact both of these race leader had partisans on the committee)that it was a fight between Northern and Southern Negroes, a lie as false as hell. The final statement ```markdown ``` Muskogee, Oklahmoa June 5, 1915 was so we are are informed that the committee was teaching the children they were as good and better than than white children The little president of the local league is reported to have made the statement and in the presence of Boss Elliott that two teachers should be eliminated, they failed as to the lady but the man Mr. Robinson was not elected. Did Hooker mail carriea dictate this and he was too weak to defeat the lady. Is it the policy of the Post Office Dept. to have mail carriers dabbing in matters to the determined of the service. Has the rule of 'offensive partisanship been abolished? What crime Robinson committed against the bosses? The only crime we know of is that he purchased a pair of shoes from Elliott when he first struck town, trying to carry the Washington idea. Another cuss says the Board turned him down because he was a friend of Twine, bab! Tine never asked the Board to appoint anyone. The little cuss wants credit but the real cause is Rob wanted 75 plucks per month. Bradley was too big too stoop to these little tuings. It was small fry who did the dirty work. When Barhley went to call on the School Board one of the little fellows a Mr. Walker desired to go with him but the Boss said NO and the little attorney subsided. The Committee will report its defeat to the people and the causes. No member of the com- mittee is responsible for this article except editor. The Committee took its defeat philosophically. theo were up against a crowd "who would bend the pregrant hinges of the knee that thrift might follow fawing" Is the fight over? Let the people say. They say the children of the Rebels well catch h next session. The Victors should be magnanimous not vicious and revengeful. They should be satisfied with victory and dictating. Negro Graduates Negro Graduates Twenty two negro high school graduates received diplomas at the Hinton theater last night after hearing commencement address by Joseph A. Boyker, president of the Arkansas Bapt college. The diplomas were presented by W. F. Moffatt. exmember of the Muskogee public school board. The need for intelligent, industrious, educated Negro men and women in the United States today was pointed out by Prof Booker He outlined at length the opportunity for the educated Negro of today, telling the audience as well as the twenty-two graduates who sat upon the stage, that the condition of the Negro in the past and his inferior place in the world today is and has keen because of lack of education. The removal of the bars gaainst a Negro's education has opened the door to opportunity he told them. The program for the evening exercises was. Waldteufel Invocation. Rev E. A.

A Word From the Distinguished Author of Slabtown Convention, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Corresponding Secretary, Woman's Auxiliary of National Baptist Convention. Mr. E. Arlington Wilson, I am simply writing this letter to thank you for the manly defense you made in the Ministerial Voice. I had not seen the compliment paid me by the Editor of the Union Review. I shall try to ge hold of a copy, so as to be enlightened. If the editor can give me one better than Slabtown, the job is opened. The people are writing me daily for something just as good as Slabtown, and I am sure if he can give something better, they will rise up and call his blessed. I am writing a play and since I have begun to think about it, I guess I had better send it to the editor to be criticized before I put it on the market. I did not write the "little nonsense" to make money, but our Organization gets about one hundred dollars a year off of it. I could make more if I pushed the play. It has simply been selling itself. The first year, I sold it for fifteen cents per copy and I did not sell five dollars worth. During the past three years I have sold it for fifty cents per copy and have realized the neat sum just mentioned. Every penny of the money from the things I get out goes to the Woman's Convention. We would like to have some of our critics get out something that will net a hundred dollars per year to the convention. Then, as you state in your paper, the little old unpretentious play, was written for a purpose, and I think it is serving the purpose fairly well. Let me again thank you and assure you that I have planned a large program for myself, and with God's help, I am going to play the last number that I have on it, before I waste any of my time with people who talk much and do little. With best wishes, I am, yours for the highest development of Christian womanhood. NANNIE H. BURROUGHS. No.666 This is a prescription prepared especially for MALARIA or CHILLS & FEVER.

Your organization has awakened the country and forced the issue and has proved that "he who would be free must first strike the blow." Surely now that the fighting ability of your league is shown there will be a disposition on the part of all colored people to turn their support to it as the means to the end of the achievement of their rights. I hope that every possible support will be concentrated to the end that the league and Trotter and the Guardian will be backed up for that continued achievement which the recent events show you can bring to pass.

Richmond, Va.—There are two dis- tinct principles that ought to lead the colored people of Virginia to strive to make the forthcoming celebration in this city the best ever held by our peo- ple in any state. Race pride and state Pride should be combined, first, be cause here slavery was practically end- ed, and, second, because this is the first southern state in which such a celebration is to be heid with the sanc- tion and help of the national govern- ment. If the exposition ts a suceess all will share tm the honor and the credit it will reflect on the race and on the State so fur as its big colored popula- tion ts concerned. These are facts which every member of the race should consider, Let us save the honor of the race and the state tn this effort. The elebration ts a national affair, not a county or a city celebration. Every organization in each county of the entire state should see to it that the fenture which {t ts to represent shall not be neglected in any degree. The county fair associations should tnke the lead and merge into the Ne gro Historical and Industrial assocta- tion in bringing ubout success, All se- eret and fraternal organteations in the state must take their proper places in the work in order to maintain their prestige and bonor and in order to hold the confidence of the people as to their race pride and state pride, There ts no neutral ground. There ts no other hon- orable course.

Lox, Ya ORGANIZED FOR PROTECTION. Association Started In Wilmington, N. C., on Account of Race Prejudice. BY GEORGE F. KING. Wilmington, N. C.-That the young men of our race in this section of the country are daily becoming more interested in movements that will make for bettering conditions in the south generally is being strikingly evidenced by many in this city who have made remarkable progress in the face of great obstacles. But for a number of years commercial enterprises among them seemed to be at a standstill. This economic inertia was not due, however, to a financial stringency among the colored people, who receive wages in this city equal to that paid Afro-Americans in other sections of the south. Negroes own and conduct most excellent farms, and there is not any city in North Carolina wherein our people pay more taxes on real estate than is true of those living in Wilmington. Another encouraging feature to be considered is that as a rule the Afro-American residents are not so closely segregated here as they are in some [Name] THOMAS H. WILLIAMS. of the larger cities, but there is a tendency to keep them out of desirable sections once a member of the race moves from such a section. Skilled workmen of the race are doing well. The carpenters have held their own in this section and control much of the work in their line. This is also true of members of the race in the bricklaying trade. But the white mechanics in the lines above named have combined against them to some extent, which is strongly indicated by the fact that the majority of the white building and loan associations will not allow Afro-Americans holding shares in their associations when making loans to build homes to give contracts to Afro-Americans, but the work must be done by white men under the supervision of the association. Such discrimination aroused the better element of the race in this section, whom the Rev. Dr. Richard Spiller interested in organizing the Workingmen's Building and Loan association, the officers of which are Dr. F. W. Avant, president; Dr. Richard Spiller, vice president, and Edward Story, secretary and treasurer. When this movement was being considered one of the leading factors in the effort was Thomas H. Williams, a native of this city and a young man with broad conceptions of the possibilities of the race to succeed along business lines. He is a member of the board of directors and also a member of the finance committee of this progressive association. Mr. Williams has interested a large number of young men here in this organization. Mr. Williams is a concrete example PERSISTENCE IN BUSINESS WINS How Miss Cleo M. Gibbs Mastered Her Difficulties. TELLS A THRILLING STORY. Rose From Obscure Clerical Position to Chief Clerk In Big Business Concern. Attributes Much of Success to Doing the Little Things Well and Sticking to Her Job. Birmingham, Ala.—The story of success, no matter who the individual or what the field, is most always thrilling and interesting and commands public attention. That story must be more interesting and thrilling if the narrator happens to be an obscure colored girl, who in the very nature of things starts out in life handicapped by reason of meager opportunities and advantages. Miss Cleo M. Gibbs, the chief clerk of the Atlanta (Ala.) Special Benefit company, of which Mr. E. W Howell is the president and manager is one of the most efficient clerks in Birmingham and assumes with entire satisfaction much of the harassing details of the management of the big company. She is a young woman who in her own way tells how she rose from a mere machine in the work to one of the really dependable characters. Miss Gibbs says: "When I first entered the work as an obscure clerk the outlook for success seemed unusually dark I could not see my way clearly I always looked for the road to success, whatever it might be I worked hard in school and succeeded in finishing with class honors and came to Birmingham from Meridian. Miss., Jan 20, 1910 I was in the city about a month before I applied for work Then I applied at the office of E. W Howell who was at that time the secretary of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance association In about two weeks there was a vacancy to be filled, and my application was accepted. "At first I did not like the insurance work and experienced difficulty in keeping all the details straight—such as the difference between lapses and transfers, life schedules, what to do when one name appeared on the lapse and transfer sheet at the same time, making up office books, showing the cash, the arrears, the advances and so on. "The first week seemed enough for me. I was ready to give up, but my people insisted on my sticking to the job and making good. I fully decided to quit and did so. I did not remain away from work long, however, and, summing up new courage, reported for work the same day I quit." "starting off again. Mr. Howell would send one of the agents or the special men into the office to show me what I had to do. Each day it seemed that one would show me in a different way from another, always telling me that the other was wrong. When the state inspector came all of my work was wrong, and I had to stand the consequences because it was in my handwriting. Everything seemed to work at a disadvantage. I only knew that I was sticking to my job, and I was then fully determined to stick until things went right. "I did not get the work right until Mr. Howell told me to make no changes until he directed me to do so. MILESTONES IN OUR HISTORY Progress Made by the Race In Fifty Years. SOME -HISTORICAL FACTS. How the Colored People Regard Day on Which Lincoln Issued Emancipation Proclamation — Importance of the Coming Exposition to Be Held In Richmond, Va., In July. Since Jan. 1, 1863, the day on which Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation which had for its object the abolition of slavery in the United States, the colored people have held celebrations on the first day of each succeeding year in honor of the event. It was not, however, until after the surrender of Lee at Appomattox Court House, Va., on April 9, 1865, that the act of Jan. 1, 1863, became truly effective and a general freeing of the slaves throughout the country took place. The first slaves were landed at Jamestown, Va., in 1619, said to be twenty in number. At the close of the civil war this number had increased to 4,000,000, and fifty years later, or reckoning from Jan. 1, 1843, to the present time, the colored race in America is variously estimated at from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000. It is therefore of historical interest to note that between Jamestown, where the first slaves were landed, and Appomattox Court House, where Lee surrendered, a great expedition is to be held this year near Richmond to commemorate the fifthth anniversary of the freedom of the colored people and to show what progress the race has made along different lines since 1818. The exposition will be held under the auspices of the Negro Historical Association of Richmond, of which the Hon. Giles B. Jackson is the president and who is also the recognized head of the commission appointed by the governor of Virginia to arrange for and carry out the celebration. Mr. Jackson is a man of wide experience and is known throughout the country as a man of ability and great capacity to handle successfully such large undertakings as the coming exposition. The progress of the race has been quite phenomenal considering the circumstances under which this progress has been made. A glance at the success of the race in agricultural pursuits which follows here will give the reader a very clear idea of what the Negro has accomplished as a farmer and the circumstances under which he has labored to bring about such marvelous results.
