In the afternoon and night, the fire was still burning, the (Continued on Page Four) Happy Facts Concerning The Negro Race Through The Methodist General Conferences Chicago, May 21.—The three Methodist general conferences are very much in the center of the current news stage. Chicago is a big Methodist community in the sense that a large and influential number of its citizens, black and white, are Methodist in fact and spirit. This makes St. Louis, Mo., Des Moines, Ia., and Knoxville, Tenn., points of special interest on the map of the country. The A. M. E. conference is in session in St. Louis; Ine M. E. is holding forth in Des Moines; and A. M. E. Zion is settling its matters of state in Knoxville. Eacn is wrestling. And, if the signs already given out are indications of the outcome of this phase of the several situations, Methodist union is about to receive another black eye. At Des Moines, they have decided to add Negro Bishops to the Episcopal beach. This appears to put an end to the proposed union of the Church North and the Church South. Bishop Phillips seems to have given a knock out punch to the contemplated union between the A. M. E. Zion and A. M. E. churches, by giving life to the fear that the A. M. E. branch eventually swallow his organization so completely that within a few years its memory will be little else than a dim tradition. M. E. NEGRO BISHOPS A hearty shout of enthusiasm greeted the announcement of the vote of approval of the plan to add Negro Bishops to the Episcopal bench at the Des Moines conference. Stout men wept while women walked around the conference floor singing loudly "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in thanksgiving for the decision to grant the Negro Bishops of their race to superintend their affairs. The vote ended a twenty-four hour debate that, at odd times, very nearly wrecked the Methodist ship. It was practically unanimous and came in the form of an approval of the report of the committee on episcopacy. One of the striking features of the discussion preceding the taking of the vote on this question was the address of Dr. Rt. A. Chase of the Wisconsin delegation, attacking the anti-Negro agitation that has been going on in the North. He spoke particularly of "The Birth of a Nation." It is now declared by prominent Methodists in this city that union between the North and South branches, of the church is now practically impossible because the Southern branch will not consider Negro Bishops even in a missionary sense. THE PHILLIPS BOMBSHELL While Bishop Charles Henry Phillips is one of the big figures in the C. M. E. Church, he is nevertheless, the apparent force which has killed whatever chance there has been for a consumption of the much talked of union between the several branches of Negro Methodism. He delivered his "solar plexus" blow in the city of Washington, D.C., before a large audience that had gathered in the cele Gen. N. B. Forrest Takes Stand Against Unfair Education Taught in the South Atlanta, Ga., May 21, Gen. N B. Forrest, a son of "Fort Pillow" General Forrest, is making a vigorous effort to have barred from the public schools of this city "The History of the American People" published by Baird and Bagley because it is "highly socialistic in nature, treats unfairly the Negro question, is repugnant to the people of the South, is not in accord with historical facts and magnifies heroes of the northern armies." General Forrest has declared that although he has made Atlanta his permanent home, he will keep his children out of school before he will allow them to be taught from the Baird and Bagley history. brated Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church to hear him talk on "Union" "It is not union that I oppose," declared the Bishop in the course of his address, "but union on the Birmingham conference plan because it is inadequate and does not safe-guard or protect the minority—the C. M. E. and the A. M. E. Zion churches. Until a real genuine plan is presented that aims for Union and not absorption I stand unalterably opposed to the idea." From all indications the Knoxville conference has taken its "union" one from Bishop Phillips' attitude and the question would now seem to have small chance for adoption at its hands. Two questions are now in the limelight at the Zion conference, the election of a brazilian Bishop and the filling of the three vacancies on the episcopal bench caused by the deaths of Bishop Hood, Harris and Walters. Up to this date only three candidates have announced their ambitions to succeed these revered men and they are Dr. J. W. Wood of Indianapolis, Dr. P. A. Wallace of Brooklyn and Dr. E D. W. Jones of Rochester, N. Y. A Brazilian delegation is present advocating the selection of one of their countrymen as a member of the episcopacy. It is too early yet to forecast the outcome of this phase of the conference's work. ST. LOUIS CONFERENCE SERENE In the meantime the news from St. Louis pictures the conference of the A. M. E. Church going along the even tenor of its way serenely and with high confidence in its ability, to take care of its particular interests no matter which way the "union" winds may choose to blow. The questions of real interest to the conference are not scheduled to come up for consideration before next week. Just now the large number of candidates for bishopric honors appear to be busy counting noses and speculating on their several chances to land one of the heartily desited plums of the conference. At present no one appears to be in the lead. Chicago, has, of course, its eyes turned on the probable chances of Dr. A. J. Carey, with as another matter of course, varying expressions of desire and non desire for his success. All the committees have been named and have begun Created A Favorable Impression Ashville, N. C., May 21.—Mrs Charlotte Hawkins Brown, a colored woman who conducts a home for colored girls, addressed the householders meeting of the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs during its meetings which closed here last week Her chief address was "How To Solve the Servant Problem." She created a favorable impression. their work of crystalizing the program of the conference. There is nothing, at this time, to indicate how many bishops will be chosen by the conference. The book of Disciplines a new system of finance, provision for retired ministers, the Missionary Department, schools and colleges of the connection and the inter-church World Movement are among the more important questions; it is said will be acted upon by the conference. Bishop J. T. Shaffer and Dr. J. T. Jennifer are among the missing at this meeting. SESSIONS TO LAST A MONTH Each one of the conferences will continue their sessions thru the month of May. The C. M. 2. Church does not hold its general conference until May, 1921 Hutchinson, Kansas. Rev. J. H. Raimey, of Great Bend, preached both morning and evening at Second Baptist Church, indeed the power of the Holy Ghost was manifested in the hearts, for many were made to shed tears, as this noble veteran of 70 years, did feed the flock with manna from on high. Seemingly things are not looking very brightly for the laboring classes, the Spring being very backward, of men to be out of employment, it behooves one to think twice before planning to spend for a good time. The Imperial Jubilee Singers gave an excellent recital at Second Baptist Church, Thursday night, they had a good house, and indeed they poured out their souls in music. The audience was very appreciative, and purchased song books of the Company. Too much praise can not be given Prof. Countec for the authorship of his song book, which should be in the pews of every Church in Amerlcn. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Johnson were remembered on Mothers Day, by receiving flowers from their daughter, Mrs. Swan Micheaux, who lives in Chicago. Mrs. G. McHarrison, of Garden City, who was called here on account of illness of her father will leave Tuesday for her home. Rev. Mat. Jones, District Missionary, preached at Second Baptist Church, Wednesday. Mrs. S. L. Collins, formerly of this city, but now of Kansas City, will pass through in a few days enroute to California, for the benefit of Mr. Collin's health, which has been failing for the past year. Mrs. Collins will be greatly missed by her many friends in this city, as she was the leading soprano in second Baptist Church Choir for a number of years. Mrs. Joe Davis, W. M. of O. E. S. No. 48, is admonishing the members to study their rituals in order that all will go smoothly when the G. W. M., pays her annual visit next Month, let all work in harmony with the best interest to make this chapter one of the best, instead of knocking, just boost the leadre, who understands Price: 5c XIV MRS. SARAH C. DOZIER Former Princess of the S. M. T. Temple. Mrs. Dozier, former Princess of the S. M. T. Temple, held that position for six years. During that time Mrs. Dozier was untiring in her efforts to make the Temple a success, and be of benefit to the members. The Temple now has a membership of 49, all paid and of good standing. During the past few years, the Temples have been established in Hutchinson, El Dorado, and Newton, and all these Temples are doing well. Even though Mrs. Dozier has retirde from active service as Princess, she has recently demonstrated her interest in he welfare of her people, by establishing a Juvenile Class in the Temple. The object of this new Department is to train the children for the work they will be expected to take up in later years. Mrs. Dozier says the Battle is not to the strong, and neither to the swift, but the one who holds out faithfully to the end. She has gone about her task with much patience, long suffering. Honor comes to whom honor is due. I would like to pin this rose on her. We found her trustworthy, over coming every obstacle that might come up in her pathway, standing on Mercy, Justice and Truth. how to deal justly with the masses. Mrs. Mm. Jackson, of Newton, has moved to our city. Every Sunday, there has been some new additions to the Second Baptist. Strangers are cordially invited to worship with us. Lawton Okla.

After nice services in the B. Y. P. U. Bro. T. Green discussed the life of Moses, beginning at his birth and carrying it through until he looked over into the Promiseland. We must say, we earnestly believe that every soul present was benefitted by Bro. Green's talk. We, the people of Lawton must congratulate Judge Betts, he delivered to us one of the most interesting and intelligent speeches ever delivered to the people of Lawton. We must say lawyer Be its gave us just what we needed, because we feel that if there ever was a race that needed enlightment along the line of their rights, it is our race. Judge Betts' subject was "The Negroes' rights." We are always glad to have our intelligent men and women to enlighten along race lines. Judge Betts is candidate for the Texas State Legislature. He spoke abount two hours and thirty minutes. We earnestly believe that he spoke to better our conditions, and not for our money, for he did not ask for a penny, although the people graciously gave him $6.50. Rev.

Saturday "Go to Town" Abandoned It has been discovered in Alabama that the colored farmers are discontinuing the old time practice of knockign of work every Saturday, to "go to town." By some uncanny means the colored man and brother has made the discovery that laying off on Saturdays doesn't pay in these times. Therefore he is working on Saturdays, saving his money, sending his children to school with some of the savings, and taking a more general interest than his wont in other times to the part he is to play in the saving of the world for democracy. In the classic language of the late lamented Billy Kersan, "We is growin mo' lak white folks ev'y day."

Mr. Ben Freeman, (white) Editor of a newspaper published in Green Forest Arkansas, is now making his abode in Kansas, or some other place of safety, simply because he was brave enough to attack the wrong, and make the truth known through the editorial columns of his paper. The masses of the people have always have believed there was some good in Arkanaas, and Mr. Freeman's attitude substantiates this belief. But what is shocking, is to know that in Phillips County, Arkansas, there is not enough right, not enough people who have been permeated with that spirit of justice and fair play, to safeguard Mr. Freeman's stay among them. Yes, this is freedom too, but freedom for a class, unfortunately that class in Phillips County, are those who have no regard for law and order, and who term members of our race who make efforts at obtaining justice, "insurrectionist." It is too bad, that just when the eyes of the world were turned on Arkansas, to see what her redeeming feature would be, another exponent of right, (this time white) is made a fugitive. God forbid that such condition prevail anywhere. We are earnestly looking for the time when this great country of our will be filled with the --- Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kelly of 1157 N.

We note with a great deal of pride, the very worthy efforts that are being made by some of the Organizations of this City to raise money for the remodeling of the Colored Children's Home, on Indiana Avenue. We can not see and appreciate the movement without being those loyal women who are backing the move. It may be that you will have a chance to help in one way or another, but in whatever way you are asked, or it falls your lot to help, you should feel it a privilege, as well as a most sacred duty, to lend a hand in helping suffacing humanity. You, the giver, nor these loyal women who are pushing the cause shall not lose your reward—Jesus of Nazareth taught: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these My little ones, ye did it unto Me."

The attorneys who defended the father of the girl declared that their client was justified in the killing because the civil authorities had failed to apprehend Duncan upon the charges made by Green of Duncan's continued advances toward his child. Green, they declared had appealed to the police and to the civil powers with out avail and then crazed by the shame he had killed the 1 despolier.
