THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol: 14, No. 46 HE LEADS AS A CHEMIST. (Bv The Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, GA., March 9-Prof. George W. Carver, famous chemist of Tuskegee Institute, who has develope 165 products from peanuts, 117 products from sweet potatoes, and 85 products from peanuts, delivered a series of three lectures here, on the roof Garden of the Hotel Cecil. The lectures were sponsored by a group of Atlanta, white business men. OVERBEARINGLY WRONG. (By The Associated Negro Press.) SYLVANIA, GA., March 9.—Joe Jenkins, white, charged with killing Cuz-Jones, an aged colored man, was found guilty of man-slaughter and sentenced to one to three years in the penitentiary. The jury deliberated four hours. According to evidence introduced at the trial, Jenkins's automobile broke down at Millhaven, and he went to Jones' house to obtain aid. It was testified that Jones, who was forced to go with Jenkins, was beaten over the head with a pistol weilded by the white man. Then a pistol shot was heard. A short time later the body of Jones was found, a bullet through the skull an the head nearly severed from the body. Prominent white people of this community insisted upon a rigid investigation. Jenkins was located in Colorado and brought back for trial. MEETING ON THE BOY PROBLEM. (By The Associated Negro Press) ATLANTA, GA., March 9.—Another instance of racial co-operation was demonstrated here with members of the Rotary club conducting a meeting at the Y. M. C. A., the object being to look into the boy problem of the city. Phillip M. Colbert of the Central Association was one of the principle speakers. REMEMBERED IN HER WILL. (By The Associated Negro Press.) TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA., March 9.—One of the most enjoyable events at the Tuskegee Inst.tute was the recent recital by R. Nathaniel Dett, a well-known pianist and composer of our group, from Hampton, Virginia. Mr. Dett rendered a program composed wholly of his own compositions and the students and teachers were accorded the opportunity of hearing the composer's interpretation of his compositions. Their appreciation was signified by the loud applause which followed each number. Mr. Dett remained at the Institute for several days and during his stay spoke to the students and teachers and urged them to revive the music of the race. He said in part: "The master-pieces of the world in music have been based for the most part on some religious theme. There is only one race of people in the world that have as a folk element this text already supplied and we are most fortunate to be members of that race. And I want to ask every teacher and student at Tuskegee to help maintain the serious dignity which ought to be maintained in Negro music. Every one of you ought to feel a personal pride in possession of the folk songs and every one of you ought to be indignant at any attempt to desecrate this wonderful music. "Deep River." acknowledged in the world as one of the most magnificent compositions, has been turned into reg time. I am calling upon you and this institution to rise up in arms and do everything possible to create a sentiment against that sort of thing." The Children Think. (By The Associated Negro Press) PARIS, KY., March 9.—A stir has been created here in school circles because the colored teachers gave a big celebration in honor of the birthday of George Washington, but completely ignored the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Cherryvale News Items. Sundry was covenant day at Bethlehem Church, and everybody was full of the Holy Spirit. Our pastor, Rev. J. S. King preached a good sermon; lesson text: Matthew 6:1-34. The B. Y. P. U., is doing a great work. Sunday, being True and Tried section's day to render the program. The "Flu" isn't quite so bad now, but we have a number of cases yet. Rev. J. S. King is in Sedan, Kansas, this week, engaged in a meeting. Mr. Broo's and Miss Brown of Chrute, stopped over in Cherryvale, Sunday evening and visited with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wickliff. Mr. Wm. Bryant was in our city, yesterday, visiting friends. Mr. Ernest Clay was dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Greene, Sund... Miss Irene Thomas of Kansas City, Mo., is stopping over with Mrs. Ida Teal, enroute home; she has been visit'n her aunt Mrs. Angie Garner of Coffeyville, Kansas. The All Star Basket Boll Boves are planning a grime for this week with Independence, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Tolbert of Independence, were in Cherrvale, Sunday, visiting mother and friends. Thursday is choir rehearsal night, Mrs. Emma Wheaton, President. Pastor Williams chose a very striking theme for Sunday morning's d. course; "A Call to The Churches;" based on the 1st verse of the 52nd chapter of Isaiah. The great prophet's call to the church of old applies to the church today. "Awake, and put on thy strength, O Zion," implies to learn of God. The church is tottering on the brink of chaotic darkness, because men have turned away from God. Pastor put a strong emphasis on the fact that if the church would awake to a sense of its duty, they would swing this world for Jesus. The strength of serving and giving in unity was very clearly demonstrated. He admonished the church to put on their beautiful garments of meekness, kindness and love; a very strong, convincing sermon. The attendance was good throughout the day. The Sunday School is alive and doing great work. Class No. 3, the Intermediate Class, with Mrs. Mabel DePriest, teacher, broke the record Sunday, by taking the banner with a collection of $32.60 (Thirty-Two Dollars and Sixty Cents.) They were highly complimented by the pastor and superintendent and given three cheers by the entire S. School.. B. Y. P. U., studied a beautiful lesson and witnessed an excellent program rendered by "True and Tried" section. A very impressive sermon was delivered in the evening by the pastor, subject: "Run, Speak to Young Men." He emphasized the importance of 'giving more attention to the young men;' it is the duty of every Christian to speak a word of warning to those who are on their way to destruction. The Carnival given by the Ladies' Aid Society last Friday and Saturday nights at the O. & M. Hall was a decided success. Mrs. Anna Brown, mother of Pastor Williams, returned to her home in Chattanooga, Tenn., Friday morning, after a few days' visit in the city. A large number of fans accompanied the Dunbar Athletic Club to Wichita, last Thursday, where they met the Wichita Team in a Basket Ball Game. The Dunbar Boys won the game by a score of 15 to 2. They have not lost a game this season. Mr. Dett has always been a favorite at Tuskegee and his recent appearance accentuated that feeling toward him as was indicated by the large audience which greeted him. TOO PLAIN TO PUZZLE THE MOST SIMPLE MINDED. (Special Correspondence to A. N. P) HINESVILLE, GA., March 9. "Why do colored people leave the South?" Here is a good part of the answer! "If the people want to lynch 'em, let 'em come on to the jail and get 'em." Mrs. Vera Magett, white, probation officer, declares those were the exact words of Sheriff Tyre, prior to the lynching of Joe Jordon and James Harvey, colored. Sheriff Tyre, Carl Stewart, Bob Brice, I. W. Rhoden, and Dock Rhoden, all white, were on trial for murder. The court directed a verdict of not guilty in the case of Price. Each of the other alleged lynchers took the witness stand in their own behalf. It took the honorable jury the period of ten minutes to reach a verdict. "I have been a target for those two Negroes long enough," Sheriff Tyre was quoted by Mrs. Magett as saying. "If the people want to lynch them, let them come on to the jail and get 'em." Mrs. Magett further quoted the sleoiff a. poedicting the lynching if another respite was granted the two men by Governor Harhwick. Morrison Thomas told of his interview with Carl Stewart and Price at the railroad station and that he jokingly asked them where they were going. They replied seriously, he said, that "we are going to the lynching," he quoted Stewart. The witness stated that there were numerous rumors heard about Jesup, that night fixing the time at 10 o'clock. The witness was later recalled to the stand to tell of his interview with Sheriff Tyre at the postoffice on the day following the lynching. Thomas said Tyre received a package postmarked from Savannah, which he asked him (Thomas) to open. This, the witness said, he did, and discovered that the package contained a revolver. Sheriff Tyre then explained to him that the revolver was taken from him by the mob which met them between H.nesv'lle, and Savannah, and lynched the two men. At the conclusion of Mrs. Magett's testimony the state rested its case. The state introduced as evidence a photograph of men hanging to a tree. The photograph was pressed around in the jury box. Shortly after this Juror Johnson became ill and had to be taken out of the jury box for medical treatment. He soon recovered and the case progreased. An affidavit from T. L. Stewart of Jesup, was read, in which it was shown that Judge Highsmith, of that place, had refused to sign an order releasing the Negros to be taken to Savihnah, fearing that they would be lynched. Baxton Martin, telephone operator at Hinesville, testified that Sheriff Tyre called Jesup on the night of the lynching and reported to Sheriff Rogers' wife that the men had been taken from him and Lynched. LETTERS OF CONDOLENCE: Mrs. E. T. Fishback, Dear Sister in Christ—The Cleveland Avenue Baptist Church extend to you its heart-felt sympathy in your great bereavement. May you find comfort in Acts 11:24. C. C. Markham, Pastor. Mrs. E. T. Fishback, 1149 Ohio Avenue, Wichita, Feb. 7. Dear Mrs. Fishback: I have just this moment learned of the sudden death of Mr. Fishback. This comes to me as a great shock and represents to me as a really great loss, for I thought a great deal of your husband. As an influence in the community he was one of the best and most helpful personalities. I am not able in just a few words say what I feel. I appreciate more than most what this loneliness will mean to you and the family. You have my heartfelt sympathy. If there is anything at all that I THAT DEPENDS. (By The Associated Negro Press.) DOVER, DEL., March 9.—They are getting all mixed up in their laws in Deleware. Trying to make a law to keep "Within the law" that will be a bar to Colored America, has caused much trouble in the legislature. The original bill placed before the legislature, was aimed at colored people living in Claymont district. After the bill passed the House, members woke up and found that the bill involved Catholicism and others. Representative Brogan, the only Catholic member, said he thought it was all right when he voted, but found out it was not afterwards. "It depends on whose ox is gored," said another member. (By The Associated Negro Press.) NEW YORK, March 9—After having been contested for some considerable time, the will of the late Mrs. Angier Booth, widow of Henry P. Booth, founder of the Ward Steamship Line, has been admitted to probate after the case has been settled out of court. The estate is valued at $12,000,000. It is of particular interest because of the fact that by the terms of the will and agreement $15,000 was given Hannah Morant, an aged colored woman, who had been for thirty years Mrs. Booth's maid. $10,000 was also awarded to Lewis Wynn, colored coachman and houseman. It is estimated that the agreements he saved for the inter-attants fully $1,000,000. can possibly do, do not hesitate to request it. Assuring you of my prayers and sympathy, I am, Very sincerely yours, Louis A. Black. Great Bend, Kansas, Feb. 12, Mrs. E. T. Fishback. Accept our deepest sympathy in your grief over the death of your husband, Rev. E. T. Fishback. Pastor & Members 1st B. Church. 47 Hibbard Court, Pontiac, Mich. Mrs. Sadie Fishback. My Dear Sister—When I arrived home from Sister Isabell's funeral Wednesday, I received the sad intelligence of Blo. E. T. Fishback's death and Oh, how I gave myself to the Lord and asked Him to help me to bear it, for He says He will put no more on us than we can bear. You have our best love and sympathy and if there's anything we can do, don't hesitate to let us know. So sorry that I cannot attend the funeral but owing to the trip home and sickness in my family, I will not be able to attend. But may the God of Peace comfort your sad heart. I'm sure that our loss must be Heaven's gain, and I can imagine what a happy meeting with the family that's gone on before. Please write me all about him. With our deepest sympathy and love; come and see us sister when you can. Yours as ever a sister, Sadie F. White. Box 92, Independence, Mo., Feb. 10. Mrs. E. T. Fishback, Dear Sister—Rev. Daniel of Kansas City, Mo., informed us last night that your husband, the Rev. E. T. Fishback was dead. Is it so? What was the cause If it is true, this comes to express our deep regret for so sad a news, and to express our sympathy for dear self in your loss. Remember that God is making up His house of many mansions and He needed prepared material hence He sent for him. He is not dead but simply gone home to rest forever, where there is no dying. Trust God, and be courageous and He will take care of you. DE FANTZ COMING TO WICHITA Mr. R. B. DeFrantz, Secretary of the International Committee, and the Outstanding Kansas, Man in the Association Movement, will be in Wichita, Sunday. He will address a special Community Meeting in the Afternoon at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church. All the men and Boys of the Community are invited. Mr. DeFrantz will worship in the local churches on Sunday. BRILLIANT POGRAM OF OWN WORKS PRESENTED BY R. Nathaniel Dett. By ALVIN S. WIGGERS (Music Critic of The Tennessee.) While the Negro race is, as a whole, a musical one, and you notice more colored people sing at their work than you do white people, and when you hear someone whistling a tune on the street, nine times out of ten it is a Negro, still on account of their limited opportunities, there have not been many of the race to achieve nation-wile fame. Fisk University has, this season, presented to the public several musicians who have done splendid things, and R. Nathaniel Dett, who gave last evening in the Memorial Chapel, a program of his own compositions, stonds out as one of the most original composers America has yet produced. Although born in Ontario, Canada, he understand the soul of the southern Negro, and has created on the keyboard the most pathetic pictures, full of fancy, and showing a mastery of all the technical intricacies of modern composition, yet absolutely typical of the subject. Dett's compositions have an individuity all their own, and he has glorified the Negro folk song as did Cropin and Greig the songs of Poland and Norway. Besides, his pieces retain the piano idiom to an extraordinary degree. They are neither songs nor orchestral music played on the instrument, but are as purely pianistic as not many other composers have been fortunate to create. With a technique which fully met all the requirements of the difficult passages, and a touch in keeping with the music of which was poetic and dreamy, he played first his "Magnolia" Suite with its varying moods. Of the five pieces, "Magnolia" and "The Deserted Cabin" were lovely tone pictures, "To My Lady Love," lively and gay, "Mammy" had to be repeated, and "The Place Where The Rainbow Ends," was a brilliant waitz. The 'Enchantment' Suite depicted the experiences of a soul in a temple, addressing an incantation to the Unknown God, bringing in response an answering voice, then a wild, swirling dance, and "Beyond The Dreams." "In The Bottoms" Suite was the best of all, the prelude with its open fifths showing the gathering of darkness, lighted only by the flickering candlelight in a cabin. After the old Negro had tuned up his banjo, the darkness swallows up everything. "Humoresque" was based on Paul Dunbar's poem of "How Are You Honey?" which the pianist explained might mean much or little, according to the circumstances. "Bavaro'le," a boat song of the Mississippi was beautiful, and the celebrated "Jubb" brought a storm of applause. A lullaby was the encore. John Work, Jr. sang four of Dett's songs in a good baritone voice. These were Negro Spirituals with an austerity of accompaniment intended to counteract the jazz tendencies of the day. The Smaathing Team of the Dunbar Athletic Club of Salina, defeat the Water Street Y. M. C. A. Team in one of the tastest games see on the Local Courts. By their weight and aggressive speed, the Salina Team was too much for the Local Boys. The Score of 15-2 decided the game. The preliminary game was played and L'Ouverture School. In spite between the Live Wire Seconds, of the fact that four of L'Ouverture's main players had been promoted to the High School, she came back, and defeated the Live Wire Team to the Tune of 10-6. The aggressive little Team from Douglass School journeyed to Wellington, where they met and defeated the Wellington team in a hotly contested game. The Wellington Boys were High School fellows, and outweighed the Wichita aggregation, but the home team was too fast. The Douglars School Boys won to the Tune of 12-8. Five Cents Per Copy DR. JAMES BOND Secretary df Kentucky Interracial Commission. Like most movements of its kind, the Interracial Movement had its birth in a great crisis. During the war the white and colored people of the South had, in a very remarkable way, forgotten their differences and united in a supreme effort to win the war. Promises of better things were made to all of our boys, black and white. The Negro soldier accepted these promises at face value. He played well his part in the war. When upon his return to his homeland these promises were not realizer, his heart was filled with bitterness. The lines were more tightly drawn and barriers to his progress seemed more stubborn and relentless than ever. As race riots broke out and fear of a general race conflict gripped the country, a group of white men, confident that the good will and co-operation secured between the races during the war could be perpetuated, called into conference a number of representative colored men in the spirit of prayer and supplication, and adopted a platform upon which all could stand. The planks of this platform included justice before the law, the prevention of lynching, and the correction of other injustices to the Negro. Some of the most widely-known people of the South accepted places on the Commission, among whom were ministers, college presidents, bishops and capitalists. As a later development, many of the South's leading women have become associated with the movement. The Commission does not pretend to have discovered a short cut to the millennium or to have brought into existence a perfect organization, nor does it believe that it has found a solution to the race problem that can be worked out in a day. It recognizes, in the language of George Madden Martin, that prejudices are stubborn, and that to overcome them is not a task for limited sympathies and petty natures; that it is not a task that can be done by machinery or mere organization, that it is a spiritual task, a task, a task to be carried out in the spirit and according to the ethics of the Man of Galilee. These principles emphasize first the truth that contact is necessary in the solution of any human problem. Differences are at first minimized, then they disappear. In order that the Movement should be motivated by Christian principles, the leaders perfected a duly organized Commission with membership representing thirteen states and herdquarters in Atlanta. In addition to this Commission, each of the thirteen states has a Commission directing the work in the state. Some eight hundred of the twelve hundred counties in the Southern States have organized local committees of representative white and colored people. In thirty-seven years, from 1885 to 1921, there were 437 lynchings in Georgia and only one indictment. In 1822 alone, with eight lynchings, twenty-two persons were indicted, of whom four were convicted and sent to the penitentiary and fifteen are still to be tried. The evidence in the cases was collected largely by the interracial secretary and committees in Georgir. This is one illustration among many of the effectiveness of the movement. What the Commission needs more than anything else is the confidence of the community, white and colored. It seeks the sympathy and co-operation of the members of the church and social organizations, to the end that this greatest problem confronting the American people today must settled by the principles of justice and fair play, and according to the teachings of Jesus.

Pope. delivered an elo,u.n. sermon on the subje.t, “The Evident Uhrist,” showing torch many of the Divine Characteristics of the Master, yet with all of Ilis power a spirit of modesty was alwtys in evidence. “The appheation of this subject to the pro- fersing Christlan of today, was very forcibly and pretically given to the splendil audience which greeted the pastor at this service. At the Sceramental service in the afternoon, Rev. Enyard, pastor of Grant Memorial Church preached a heart-warming sermon on the “Per- secution and Cracifixion of our Lord,” which was followed ty the adminis- trittion of the Lord’s Supper. In the evening, Rev. Pope’s dis- course was mainly upon the ‘‘Peni- tent, Prodigal Son,” Luke 16:18, which was strongly brought to the minda of the young people of today, who turn their backs upon devoted parents and seek environments that are conducive to frivolty and vire.

NO MAN CAN HOPE TO OVERCOME in the struggle for individual success who possesses a streak of yellow that will permit him to hide behind the back of another and shoot arrows of deceitful malice. The world loves a chap game enough to think for himself, speak what he believes and fight to a finish above board, and even though he may lose the wide world refuses to hold thumbs down on his final defeat. THERE are several indications NO MAN IS GREATER THAN THE RACE TO WHICH HE BELONGS, and no sensible man or woman ever gives signs of a desire to get away from the inner circle of their respective race. The glories of the Negro Race with its history of Mighty leaders who have trod the paths of earth from time immemorial but await more fully to be revealed by the determined touch of research; Therefore, let the young Negro awake with great delight to push forward the standard of the colored race inspired by its grandeur of the ages. --- GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY. Why? You are living in an age when the general world program for the security and peace of the human race is absolutely dependent upon the teaching of the great founder of the Christian Church. Because no proposition ever advanced by the Christian Church has proven false to to the individual or collective interests of our race. Because the forces which have accomplished the most in your life for your greater success, subscribed to the fundamental principles of The Christian Church. Because within the portals of some Christian Church in this city you will be able to find the only friend that will never give you the, "Once Over and a Deceltitel Throw Down." Because your Parents, dead or living, reared you to be true to some church. Because the minister of some church in this city Sunday, may by the Power of the Holy Spirit give to you the cryptic word of life that failing to catch Sunday may mean your eternal loss. Think and Go To Church Sunday. WITH THE DRAWING to a close of sessions, several legislative bodies thruout the country it is with interest that one notes the legislation in favor of movements having the best interests of the colored race can be detected in most instances only by the close application of a very fine mental glass. A perusal of the journals of several legislative bodies is but another forceful reminder that the political concern of The Black Man demands in These United States that he apply more time to constructive thought and loyal support of an unselfish, qualified leadership which, united can secure for the race the iota of legislative consideration deserved. It cannot much longer remain a question of Party Loyalty with the Negro as much as the potential power of the ballot properly put, to assist in securing the full measure of American Citizenship for the masses of the race. THE AIM of all colored organizations both nationally and locally ought to be FOR THE GOOD OF THE MASORITY of the members of the Race, and where such purpose is indicated in the personel of the official staff and general government of the body the sole aim of members of the race ought to be given absolute financial and moral support to body. No race can ever hope to attend to a place in the sun of commer- cial, social and political affairs that does not make support of its own institutions a paramount duty of its individual members. The instituting of a Negro Business League in Wichita, and similar organizations throut the country is fully justified by the demanding problems with which the race is being steadily called to meet and solve. The Negro Star appreciates the need of a fully operating Negro Business League and not only does it urge support of such organizations but pledges its support to the local organization in as long as its general purposes indicate the higher unselfish good of the whole race. THE GREATER SUCCESSSES OF THE MASSES of Citizens of the better class of the race have never been inferior to the personal rights of the criminal classes. The loss of one active race man thru some act of a criminal which carries in its treno, racial disturbances can never be justified. All violations of law tending to have an affect upon the harmonius racial relations of a community, ought to be denounced from the public press and pulpit and movements to eliminate criminal factors of any race from a community ought to meet with the approval of all good citizens regardless of racial affiliations. The man who will not consider the best interests of his race in its social, commercial, moral and political aspects as they may affect the general masses at any and all times is a traitor to the race, and by a selfish mode of conduct may prove the undoing of pleasant racial relationship, with the recompanying period of disturbance which so often if properly handled by constructive thinkers might beforehand have been prevented. Moral Violaters of The Law, regardless of Race, Creed or Color, are detrimental to Society and your personal interests, and only deserving of an absolutely FAIR TRIAL AND CONVICTION with full penalty attached, if found guilty. IT IS RIGHT AND WELL that the Christian Religion be held abreast of the rapid ag of progressive recreation along all avenues of knowledge. Yet there is nothing n the Christian Religion that ever has or ever will be opened to the thought of human agencies for improvement in the most remote degree. God has established his church and it must stand fully upon the revealed truths of His eternal word. It is absolutely silly ti talk of The Christian Church making any concessions to Modern Society other than have been set by the Old Rugged Cross of Jesus Christ. THE DEMAND OF THE AGE is not so much for talkers as THINKERS, one of the sad features connected with the progressive strides of the race is the bare fact that we have far too many TALKERS, not overbalanced by thinkers and active doers. A scandal which the foul mouth demons of hell would reject due to hellish pride of position can be born overnight in cooled circles all too often and receive undeserved consideration, all due to the fact that we have yet to learn the value of close research, matured consideration of potent effects as touching better interests of race and individuals; Think on all things, talk about but a few is the polity of constructive racial development on the part of conservative leadership.
