THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol 13, No. 43 NEGRO FOREMAN DIES AND RANGE MOURNS FOR HIM NEGRO FOREMAN DIES AND RANGE MOURNS FOR HIM Gene Lowery, After More Than 25 Years in Saddle, Succumbs Sunday WAS FRIEND TO ALL Gene Lowery is dead. Forty-three years old, he came to the end of the longest trail, Sunday, after more than 25 years in the stdle, and "Finis" was written in the last chapter of his life when a host of dim-cyed friends—cattlemen from all over North Butler and Greenwood counties—sorrowfully carried his earthly remains to their last resting place, and wished him peace. Roya ty, with all its pomp, never w.tnessed a more solemn funeral. Rulers of men, whose funeral parades have stretched over miles, never had such a following as Gene Lowery. His funeral procession was composed of friends. The idly curious were not there. The recently-completed $20,000 Presbyterian church at Reece was packed for the funeral oration. And the curious were not there, either. Every man and woman of them was a friend. And the Rev. J. G. Pollari, who conducted the services, was a friend. The Strenge Past None of which should seem strange, but— Gene Lowery was a Negro, and his friends, were white men—the most prominent cattlemen of the Southwest. Gene Lowery was foreman and brand reader for the Stanhope-Gregg Cattle syndicate, and other large cattle interests of the Panhandle country, Oklahoma and New Mexico. During his 25 years in the saddle, he is credited with having handled more cattle than any man in the state of Kansas, and such faith and confidence was reposed in him by his employers that he was given free rein in receiving and caring for thousands upon thousands of head of cattle which have been shipped into the Flint Hill country. Honesty, integrity, and implicit loyalty to his employees marked him as a most extraordinary man, and there is not in the Flint Hills a man in any way connected with the cattle industry, who did not know and admire Gene Lowery. Tears For Him What wonder, then, that old and glittered cowmen, filing past the casket for a last look upon the familiar black face, found tears welling up and trickling down their cheeks? What wonder a magnificent edifice was filled to overflowing with men of another race? What wonder these same cowmen, hard hit as they were by falling markets, gave Gene Lowery an eloborate funeral from their own church, and made provision for the widow of the old range rider? Gene Lowery was a man among men. Every man with whom he came in contact was his friend, and he was respected by all. The preacher who read his funeral oration, a man reared in the Southland, where, if anywhere, there is race prejudice, respected Gene Lowery. Gene Lowery came from a family of musicians. Before the family was scattered by marriage and the hand of death, it boasted its own brass bond. From this same family spring P. G. Lowery, famed as a "black cornetist," who for years alternated between the Ringling shows, as head bandmaster, and manager of the Lowery minstrels. In his travels he visited Europe and played the cornet before the kings and queens. He has a gold horn which was presented to him by, King Edward. But Gene Lowery has received more than a gift from royalty. He has been honored by his home people who knew him for what he was, every day in the year. And the cattlemen of the Flint Hill's agree they do not expect to find another such man—black or white—as Gene Lowery. —Wichita Eagle. CUTHBERT, GA. Feb. 10-The Seventh Annual meeting of the Negro Farmers' Conference will close here Monday after a three day's session. Pres. A. B. Cooper and the faculty of Payne College, the promoters have made it a most helpful influence to (By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 10—Developments of the last few days have opened the eyes of the Republicans to the poor political tactics that have been resorted to, so far as Colored citizens are concerned. It has been discovered that while Republicans have done nothing like the people hoped would be done in the matter of recognition and justice; has been done is so little known in effective places that the benefit is "lost in the shuffle." Th's situation is distressing those who are charged with the responsibility of shaping the destiny of the party. It is pointed out that some of the criticism against President Harding and the Administration would be tempered if the people were more officially informed about some of the things that are going on. Since the discovery, just what will be done in this direction, remains to be seen. "It reminds one of Nero fiddling while Rome burns," remarked one observing citizen. ARE YOU AWARE? A That the "Are You Aware" editor was not aware last week? The first half of last week fleeted by so swiftly that the days seemed to overlap as shingles. That nothing is impossible for the fellow who possibly can? If it is your duty you can do it. That is, all that should be expected of any one—nothing more and nothing less. That the predominant races of the earth have just about reached their highest height? According to their own selfish ideas—their program is about exhausted. The world was called to a halt to pay up for some of its many sins and misunderstandings in the World's War. If this had not been true, probably by this time sonis great inventive mind would have centered upon some device by which individuals could be transported into the Heavenly Region. That it would be a great scheme to revise the calendars so that they register exactly by the week (7 days) without any fragments? Then every one could know how many days in every month. With coming to Wichita, of two great characters as the "Y" Secretry and Calvary's new pastor, she should not only wax warm but should run a "hot box" occasionally along the road to success?—But there are so many "Coon dogs on the hay." However, we have perception to the effect that they possess the vision. Go on gentlemen, we assure you that you have our every possible support. the community. In spite of the unfavorable weather a large number of farmers have attended from Randolph, early, Terrell, Calhoun and even from the state of Alabama. Talks were made Friday and Saturday by Prof. Wm.

(By The Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 10- The students of Howard University had the privilege of listening to Mr. Roger W. Babson, President of the Babson's Statistical Organization, Wellesley Hills, Mass., with branch offices in London and several American cities, Thursday, January 26, 1922, at the noon exercises held in the University chapel. Among the interesting things which Mr. Babson called to the attention of the students in the course of his address was his explanation of what he called the "Six I's of Success,"—Industry; Initiative; Intelligence; Intensity; Interest and Integrity." Mr. Babson made a very interesting explanation of the Six 'I' of Success, to the students assembled at the noon-day exercises. Industry, the first I of success, Mr. Babson stated "Means hard work." But Industry is not sufficient in itself, another quality must be added which is Integrity, the Second I of success. Then one may have two and not be successful, he must add another 'I' which is intelligence. Even these three are not sufficient; one must have Initiative, the fourth 'I' of success. But there must also be Intensity in one's efforts which is the fifth 'I' of success. Then with all these there must be Interest, the sixth 'I' of success. Mr. Babson was invited to speak to the student body of the Howard University by President J. Stanley Durkee. His interesting and practical remarks received the applause of both Faculty and students of the University. No Respect For Law. (By The Associated Negro Press) PONTOTOC, MISS. Feb. 10—Will Bell, 20, charged with an attack on a young white woman near here last week was taken from officials early in the morning as he was being transferred to Jackson, Miss., for safe-keeping, and was shot to death by a number of unidentified men. Sheriff Blaylock fearing he would be lynched, arranged with the conductor of the Jackson train to stop outside the town for the prisoner and accompanied by a number of deputies he made a rush for the train in a closed automobile. On the outskirts of Pontotoc, another closed car stopped which was drawn up across the road, blocking traffic. When the sheriff's car stopped, an unidentified man jumped from the blockading automobile and pulling aside the curtains of the sheriff's car, emptied his revolver in the body of the Negro before the officials could interfere. Must Have Lynched The Wrong Man. (By The Associated Negro Press) COLUMBIA, LA. Feb. 10-Altho' capacity crowds of white persons and Negroes have packed the courtroom at every session, no disorder has marked the trial of Floyd Abrams, Colored, charged with murder in connection with the killing of Sidney Menheil. station agent of the Missouri Pacific Railroad here September 13, 1921. Abrams' arrest followed the alleged confession of Gilmore Holmes, Colored, who was lynched the night following the murder. Jack Johnson Fined. (By The Associated Negro Press) NEWARK, N. J. Feb. 10 Jack Johnson world's champion, was fini $5 by Police Judge U. Victo U'Aloa of this city for violation of the Newark traffic rules. On last Tuesday afternoon, Jack drove his automobile to the left of a standing trolley car while he was on his way to a vaudeville theatre where he is starring. The pugilist gave his name today as John A. Johnson, 42 years old, a speculator, living at 147 West 131st St, New York. He wore a golf suit, looked in the pink of condition and drove to court in an expensive touring car. Johnson said he had never driven a car in Newark, before and did not know traffic rules. One of the Greatest Church Men of CHICAGO, ILL. Feb - The students of the University of Chicago heard, last Friday, a remarkable story of the development of an unusual Negro. Dr. I. K. Williams, Pastor of Olivet Baptist Church spoke in the divinity chapel to a standing room audience on the subject "Making the Church a Community Asset." His hearers followed him with intense interest, not only because it was novel to hear a Negro speak in the chapel but also because of the message which he brought. The strength of the message was that it presented Olivet Baptist Church, not as a shell, a mere organization, a house, but as a living and working organism among our people, a people with living struggling souls. It presented Olivet as a church with the task of saving the souls of all men from fear, oppression, both mental, economic and political by taking hold of the problems that have to do with their every day lives. After giving a brief sketch of the growth of the church, its organization, and purpose, that purpose being to preach Jesus Christ and to administer to the physical and spiritual needs of men, Dr. Williams did the unique thing. He showed the influence of the church on the various phases of the life of the community, for example, on politics, on housing, on family life, and above all on the person himself, how men actually found salvation through the church, how God is brought to men and how men are lifted to God. When he came to the conclusion the hearers, men and women, students and teachers bent forward to catch the significance of his words. He said that a church must do something more than administer to physical needs of men, that a church must have a message. In its message the church must excel other organizations. He said that a church must believe in itself and in God. He said that Olivet believes in both, that Olivet has a morale. Then he closed with a prayer that God may give us a thirst for him and power to find him, that he may unite our hearts and hands in service of God and man. Dr. Williams showed the contrast between the Olivet of 1916 when he came to the pastorate and now. They had 26 departments, now there are 55; 260 officers as against 860 now; 8 paid workers then, 30 now, property valued at $75 000 then, $250,000 now, yearly income $16 000 then, $89,000 now; membership 2600 in 1916, 10,012 now. He showed the following social service activities: Bureau of Information, Free Employment Agency, Working Men's Home, Working Girl's Home, Housing and Roaming Director, Day Nursery, Kindergarten. Branch of the Public Library, Nutrition Classes - free milk for poor children, the Elizabeth McCormick Fund Aiding, a Child's Clinic, Boys Work, Athletics including baseball, basket ball, swimming, gymnastics, boy scounts, receptions, summer hikes, camping, music, industrial work, Bible.

The programs are having more institute work and are thus especially helpful. The next quarterly Board will be held with the First Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kana.. An institutional program has already been arranged. Those who are to appear on program whether to conduct an institute, read a paper or preach should make special preparation.

After the morning sermon, which was an able one, preached by the pastor; three sinners all young ladies, came forward to be prayed for. The church went down in prayer for them. The pastor then asked if they were willing to remain after services for an after prayer meeting; they were. Then asked how many of the church members were willing to make a sacrifice and stay with them. The after meeting was full of earnest religious fervor. The result was the three were added to the church. Rev. Walter Shook, assistant pastor of Ebernezer Church, was ordained Sunday, Feb. 5th, 1922 by Rev. Cartwright assisted by others. Rev.

S., opened in due form; lesson "The Spies Sent Forth." This being the 5th Sunday, the Mission Circle had charge of the services all day. The Pastor's text at 11:30 was: "She has done what she could." Theme, "The Necessity of Christian Women in the church." Never before has the women had a grettr lesson brought to them and how we should feel to know that we make a part of that great number of Christian women who are giving of their time and means for the support of mission on the Home and Foreign Fle'ds. Sunday p. m., at 2 o'clock, the funeral of Private John M. Esmond was held from the 2nd Baptist Church; preached by our pastor Rev. L. D. Stevens. He used the 14th chapter of Job and 15th verse for a text. "Thou shalt cell and I will answer three: Thou wilt have a desire for the work of thine hands." The pastor spoke of John receiving and answering three distinct calls during his life: 1st the call of the Holy Spirit, when he answered and accepted Christ in 1909; again on July 6th, when he was called to Camp Funston, Kansas to do service in the U. S. Army. John was in camp a short time when he sailed for France and took down with Pneumonia from which he never recovered; and on Oct. 8, 1918 the call came from the God of Heaven to come home from sickness and sorrow. John answered by falling asleep in full triumph of Grace to awake over in the land of Bulah. There to await the loved ones left here in the dear homeland, America. He was given military burial and laid to rest in Highland Cemetery, Pall Bearers were his comrades and friends of Pittsburg and Iola. Never in the history of this church has a funeral been preached and conducted in like manner. Knowing the Rev. as he is—A God sent and God fearing minister of God and a well prepared Biblical scholar of military training and ability, have done service in the Y. M. C. A. Work in the late war—you who were absent can readily imagine the eloquent and scholarly manner that he handled his text and subject. The choir rendered impressive and appropriate music with Mrs. J. W. Gordon, pianist. (Continued on page four) ee a cere mene ETE NIA See errr meee cee ems Ne QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING. First Baptist Church Leavenworth, Kansas, Feb. ..23, 24, 1922. REY, W.

Prayer Meeting Thursday 7:30 p.m. Supper served every Monday evening in the basement with a good, clean and interesting program rendered. Strangers, make our church your home while you are in the city, you are welcome. Our morning service was very impressive. Rev. Hayes chose for his text Rev. 12th chapter, ..... verse; subject: "Women." He brought out many strong points on this subject, showing how the term "Woman" is often misused and how all mankind should feel toward woman—Man expects woman to be pure, to be without faults, but is he willing and does he give her the same that he requires. Never before was woman so immortalized as she was during this service. Our pastor seemed to put his whole soul in this sermon. The evening sermon was a continuation of the Baptismal Sermon of the Sunday previous; showing how the Holy Spirit directed Phillip to join himself to eunoch. Without a reason of a doubt the right interpretatiin of the Scriptures opens the way for Baptizing. Door of the church was opened and one joined for baptism. All the remaining candidates were immersed at the close of this service. St. Mary's Baptist Notes. Corner 12th and Wabash, Rev. J. E. Douglass, pastor. Sunday School opened at 9:30 by superintendent Washington. Subject of the lessson: "Elijah taken up into heaven." Rev. Hall gave us some very interesting remarks.

"U., opened at six o'clock by president Bro. Newton. After the discussion of the lesson, a very good program was rendered. Evening service opened by prayer. The pastor chose for his text: Rev. 6:17; subject: "The opening of the Seasons." Bro. Nesby teacher of the Men's Bible Class is ill at his home. Sister Hall, teacher of class No. 4 is very ill at St. Francis Hospital. Total collection for the day $65.98. Thank you. The splendid audience that heard the sermon by the pastor, Rev. Ransom, last Sunday morning on the subject of "Seeing the good in others;" were deeply impressed with the exegesis and forceful thoughts brot out. An equally large and appreciative audience in the evening, listened to another practical illustration on "Scattering the Good News." The Sunday School and the Endeavor League both, are showing a marked degree of growing interest. On Sunday morning the Rev. Minter will preach and in the evening a great program of history and eulogies upon the lives of Richard Allen the founder of the A. M. E. Church; Abraham Lincoln the Emancipator; and Fred Douglass the Negro Statesman, will be conducted and interspersed with good music by the choir assisted by other local talent. The church is making great preparations for their annual Knife and Fork Banquet which takes place on the 23rd of March. An exceedingly interesting program has been outlined, beginning on Sunday evening, the day and Wednesday, preceding the Banquet. There are to be special programs each night under the auspices of fraternal and literary organizations, and addresses by prominent speakers. Rev. R. C. Henderson of Hutchinson, will be the principal speaker at the Banquet. Full details of this great rally which is being given for the new Pipe Organ Fund will be published in The Star, later. Rev. Chas. E. King of the West Side M. E. Church will have Lincoln Day Memorial Services at the Church Sunday evening and has arranged for a group of young people from St. Paul A. M. E. Church to furnish an appropriate program of papers, declarations and jubilee selection for the occasion. Miss Bernice Cooper, Messrs George Ewing, John Jones and Sexton will give special numbers on the program. Mme. T. W. Fines, Mme, Corlue Brown, Miss Etoile Pope and Mr. Powell went over to Hutchinson, Thursday and gave an entertainment at the Convention Hall. They report a great success and a large and appreciative audience. St. Matthews C. M. E. Rev. H. H. Edmond, Pastor Sunday School opened at 9:45 by the superintendent Mrs. A. A. Jackson, with usual services. Reading for opening services, Thess. 4:13-18; subject of the lesson; "Divine Approval of Faithful Service." Teachers and pupils were in their places for study to take in the great story of Elijah taken to Heaven. The lesson was a beautiful one and to see how the young are rushing in each Sunday and taking hold of these great lessons. Let us as teachers and leaders try to live the life of Elijah that the lives of the little ones may grow stronger by our teachings and our lives; and ask God to make them greater men and women that the world may become a great blessing from them as they grow older. The pastor reviewed the lesson timely. We were glad to see those who were sick, in their places again. 11:30 the pastor read 2nd Kings 2:1-8; Thess. 4:9-18. This being the 1st Sunday and General Class Day, services were turned over to members and friends for expression. It was a glorious meeting. It seemed that the spirit surely came from on high. 6:30 Epworth League opened with song and prayer service by the Vice President, Mr. J. B. Brown. Another great lesson was derived from (Philemon) we were glad to have many friends with us in this service. Visit the League every Sunday evening; it is the place for you. 8:00 o'dock the pastor preached for us; reading 2nd Kings 9:1-12; text from 9th verse. He brought out many good things for our hearing. All were made to feel the blessing derived from the text. The S. S.' was glad to have Mrs. Flora Williams the daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. J. Williams of 1135 N. Santa Fe, to unite with the School from Guthrie, Oklahoma. Mrs. J. Brown is now home again from the visit she made to Oklahoma City, on account of the death of her husband's sister. The church and friends extend sympathy to the family in bereavement. Mrs. H. Rodges has just returned from a pleasant trip to Boley, Okla. We are glad to note Mrs. Theodora Taylor much improved.

As the teaching 'ministry in the Sunday School,' gave to the classes suggestions and questions which revealed the story of Elijah's being carried to heaven in a chariot of fire, by a whirl-wind, the minds of all were broadened as they learned of the miraculous power of the living God. The congregation gave voluntary attention Sunday morning as our minister, Dr. E. T. Fishback, read for a Scripture Lesson, Deut. 28:1-29. Taking a text from Luke 10:14; subject: "True Richea;" he preached a most praise-worthy sermon to an appreciative audience. As is their custom, the members of the B. Y. P. U., and their friends, had a delightful time at the social hour and the study hour. Upward, Forward They Go. At eight p. m., a large congregation assembled for worship.

The Annual Négro Farmers’ Con- furence was held here at Utica Nor- wal end Industrial Teatitate, Febru- ary Ist and 2nd. Although Februa- ry Ist was a very rainy day, farmers came from a'l over the State; most cf them having reeched here the night before; so that despite the rain, they assembled and told their stmple sto- ries of their efforts to get ahead. Principal Holtzclaw was clected prceens of the Conference for th3 ighteenth year, and he detivered ait Fdavene advising the farmers to be- come ‘independent land-owners as far as possible. He counselled temper- ance and progressiyeness. He espe- clally appealed to farmers to ne better homes for their wives end chil- dren, as they make progress in tho ‘purchasing of land. | But perhaps the most touching part of his address, was with reference to the relation between the races, in the presence of professional men, bus!« ness men, and fermers, both white end‘colored, who were seated on the platform, He spoke out against lynching which he termed as Amert- ca’s shame, and he declared that 10 country cen continue to look the world: in the face, unless it can so manipu- late its government that this vicious element of whatever race, ean be cone | trolled and directed. He declared that it is not the Negro on trial, but the white men, and that It is he who must answer before the bar of A!- mighty God, for the hves of thore whose fate is, in a measure, entrust- ed to his care, Iola, Kansas Notes.
