THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE --- Vol. 18, No. 30, CITY FEDERA TION OF COLOR- ED WOMEN'S CLUBS EXTENDS THANKS. The City Federation of Colored Women's Clubs wish to thank the many club members and friends for their wonderful co-operation and support during the last year; for with the same we have been able to carry on our great cause quite successfully. During the club year of 24 and 25 we have done more than Five Hundred Dollors ($500 00) worth of charity work. We were successful in keeping our girl "Miss Neola Parks" in school at Emporia, Kansas, and securing for her a position as teacher in L'Ouverture School. We are very proud of her and hope to see more of our plans matr犹ize as this one has. We have furnished a room at the Salvation Army Girls' Rescue Home, which we hope will be made a Christian home with open doors for those in need of the same. We have also furnished up the Mary B. Talbert Branch of the Y. W. C. A. and just a trip to the building will convince the most fastideous of our work and after a few years of sleeping the Parent-Teachers' Association at L'Ouverture School has been revived through our interest. We have also helped many needy families during the cold wintry months by buying food and fuel for them, and we tried to bring comfort and cheer to many mothers and children at Christmas time last year. It is our aim to lend a helping hand to those who are in need and we realize it is the little deed of kindness that is really appreciated. On Oct. 2, '25 we opened our year's work with a Luncheon given at the Mary B. Talbert Branch of the Y. W. C. A., and we were so pleased to see each and every club support us One Hundred Per Cent, for with the same the spirit of "Push On" reigned supreme. We are now working with Eleven clubs' enrollment and we expect to have three or four others organized with in the near future. Our first regular meeting will be held at the Y. W. C. A., November 6th, 1925, and we are hoping that every club will have a large representation present, that we may start this great year before us with much interest and enthusiasm as we are eager to put over a complete program this year. Katherine Helm, Pres. BENJ. J. DAVIS CHOSEN TO SUCCEED HENRY L. JOHNSON ATLANTA, GA., Oct. 23—Following a turbulent battle since the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committeeman, Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent and prominent Odd Fellow, was selected Thursday. There were several white candidates in the field for the place but none of them developed sufficient strength to defeat Davis. Among the candidates were Dr. W, Y. Gilliam, chairman of the state committee; Charles Adamson, of Cedartown; Clark Grier, of Augusta; John W, Martin, of Atlanta; and Benjamin J. Davis of Atlanta. There were sixty members of the state committee, 18 of whom were white men and the others Negroes. Selection of a national committeeman by the state committee, however, does not guarantee membership on the national body, which elects its own members, but usually fairly unanimous endorsement of a man by the state committee ordinarily insures election to the national body. Grier Has Davis Indicted The Emanuel County grand jury has just returned an indictment against Ben. J. Davis of Atlanta charging criminal libel and defamation of character of Clark Grier of Augusta, one of Davis' opponents, both he and Davis were seeking to succeed Johnson. Davis was selected DEMPSEY NOW COULD DODGE WILLS SCRAP (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, Oct. 23—If Jack Dempsey wants to get out of that somewhatabulous-sounding contract he has to fight Harry Wills next year, well, here's a nice and a ready, Floyd Johnson, the Iowa heavy, who hasn't been seen in action around these parts for a blue moon, has been signed to meet Wills at the Newark Armory October 26. That Wills-Dempsey contract provided that neither scraper should soil his paws for a whole year and Dempsey, according to coast reports, says the Wills-Johnson bout is a surprise to him. WHITE MINISTERS HELP NEGRO CONGREGATION (Preston News Service BURLINGTON, Oct. 23, N. C. Five leading ministers of Burlington assisted St. Matthews A. M. E. church in a drive "Ten Nights in the Wilderness," the object of which is to help the church spiritually and financially. Beginning Monday night, October 19, and continuing to Friday, October 23, one of the white ministers preached each evening at the church with Dr. J. B. Hurley of Front Street Methodist church beginning the series on Monday night. Rev. L. V. Harris conducted the services on Tuesday night, Dr. Thomas F. Opie on Wednesday, Dr. E. G. Overton, Thursday, and Rev. Martin W. Buck, D. D., on Friday night. ICEMAN MUST SERVE JITNEY TRADE RULING JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Oct. 23—White housewives can get a "jitney's" worth of ice from now on according to a ruling handed down by Judge Beckham when he fined Richard Waller, an iceman, who had refused to sell a white woman a ten cent piece of ice. Waller was fined $1500 and costs and was warned that another offense of this nature woul result in a 30-day sentence of the City Prison Farm. The court intimated that this case of Waller's was a warning to the scores of icepen in Jacksonville. U.S. TO TAKE CENSUS OF ILLIT- TERATES IN THIS COUNTY. U.S. TO TAKE CENSUS OF ILLIT- TERATES IN THIS COUNTY. (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—A census of illiterates in the United States as part of a campaign to reduce illiteracy will be undertaken next year by the Bureau of Education of the Interior Department. State commissions are being established in Alabama, Oklahoma and South Caroline to deal with the illiteracy problem in co-operation with bureau's work. In addition to the census, the campaign will be directed toward encouraging attendance at night schools, and obtaining better enforcement of school attendance laws Arthur Brisbane Says: "The government will take a census of "Illiterates, Americans that can't read or write." "A long list, it will include extremely useful citrens. If you could get a list of human beings that can read and write, but can't think, of those that can read and write, but can't think, of those that can read an write and think, but don't want to work, you would have a list of the easily spared." WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Oct. 23, 1925. A LETTER FROM OUR MRS. WATSON. C. S. BROWN MISSION SCHOOL Mrs. P. B Watson, Principal Carczsburg, Liberia, Sept. 7,1925 Prof, H. T. Sims, Wichita, Kansas, Dear Sirt: It is with much pleasure I write you again to let you know I am well and I hope that you and all of my Kansas Friends are the same. I have planned to write to you before now, but circumstances over which I have no control prevented me writing sooner. I am very grateful to you for The Negro Star for that keeps me posted on the work of our State in general. I hope they had a successful Summer School as they did last year; I missed them very much and I know they missed me, but they will not have many sessions before I will be back on a furlough. We have a great building program on hard out here that will take all of two or more years to complete and I Know I will have to come home for a little test after that, and when I come home this time I am going to get a real good rest. A person that has never been to the tropics would not realizt what terrible storms and hurricanes we have out here but on the night of Apr. 8, we had one that came to our mission hill and blew down every building, but the one that Miss Gooding was staying in, even the goat and chicken house went down too; the girls and I were stopping with friends in town and thus we escaped. None of the children were hurt and only one chicken and a billy goat was killed when their houses went down; these boys did not pay any attention to that storm, but went to work cleaning Billy at once. We had just burned our large farm that day, and at first the whole mission was in danger of being burned down, but all at once the wind changed, the fire took another direction, and down went the houses. Then I had to put up a large building for the boys and I have another five room house under construction the girls and me, and it will be so well built, until the boys can use it when we get in our large forty-four room building. Our $9000 saw mill is out here and it is now making lumber, and with it running it will be quite easy for our Lott Carey Woman's Convention to put up this building for $10,000. I have been working very hard and that is why you have not heard from me sooner, but I plan to write to you at least once a month. I have set out over three thousand coffee trees, and I am trying hard to get two thousand more by the last of Oct., and then I will not set out any more until next year, June, when the rainy season comes on again; we are now in the midst of our hard rains and the very time to plant coffee. I planted a large coffee bed before I came home on a furlough and my mission boys that I left here took good care of it, and I got over two thousand trees out of that bed and friends gave me some more, so you see with a large coffee farm in a few years this mission station will be self supporting; when the Jry season comes on, I am going about 50 miles further back in the interior and get enough coffee scions from my native chiefs to put out 100 acres in coffee. The Allegheny General Association of Western, Pa., is planning on sending me a one ton Ford truck soon, and then I will not have to walk to the native towns to hold service and I will be able to make three towns every Sunday, instead of walking so far to get to one as I have to do now. I have had three chiefs recently to send for me to come to their towns to talk "God salvaer," as they call the Gospel, but the rains are so hard now until I have to wait a few weeks longer. My friends in Western, Pa., are looking after my interest, because Dr. Tally's church of Homestead, Pa., is paying my salary, and in many ways supporting this station. I am on the best road in Liberla and I am further back than any Baptist woman on the field, and I must reach the hundreds of heathens or DARROW RETAINED TO DEFEND DR. SWEET OF DETROIT NEW YORK, Oct. 22.--According to an announcement from the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Clarence Darrow, the noted Chicago attorney, has been retained as counsel for Dr. O. H. Sweet, his wife and nine others, all of Detroit, Mich., who are held there on charges of the murder of one white man and the wounding of another in connection with the threatened riot on Dr. Sweet's home. Attorney Darrow left Chicago, Thursday for Detroit, to prepare a case for early trial. The shooting was the result of an alleged attempt of a mob of several thousand persons who had gathered before the home of Dr. Sweet to force him to move out of a so-called white neighborhood. It is held that this district was previously occupied by white families and Dr. Sweet's moving into the section was resented by the whites. God will hold me responsible for them. The Government is building fine roads and bridges, and that will help us very much with our evangelistic work; in one of our Pessey towns I will soon have a Baptist church organized, and I also hold service in a large Gola town, the very town in which Sammy Stubblefie'd was born. The truck will serve for many purposes, for we can use it as a Gospel car on Sunday, we can haul our lumber for the buildings, and to carry our loads, when our boxes and other things come out to us; this road goes right into Monrovia. Remember me very kindly to all of the friends in the State, and ask them kindly to pray specially for me and the Lord's work at the State Convention in Oct., because I want the prayers of all that I may still keep in good health to put over the Lord's program. I am very proud of the Cradle Roll Magazine that our National Convention is getting out and I see that your mother has a large hand in it. Dr. Townsend sent me a copy also a copy of the Home Department Magazine with my last Sunday School literature that he sent out. I hope someone in the State will send me some of the Cradle Roll Certificates, because on my missionary trips, I believe I can get more babies on my list than any church in America. Africa is a land of babies and when once I get their names on the list then they will belong to my mission, and the parents will give them to me as soon as they are old enough to come to me. I hope to send you a few pictures as soon as the rains are over. I am using the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. roll books that I bought from you and the children like them fine; in addition to our S. S. and B. Y. P. U., we have a Literary Society and a Temperance Society, and as soon as a boy or girl is old enough to know what they are doing they must sign the Temperance pledge to use no liquor, tobacco, snuff, no profanity, nor gamble. One of the greatest curses of this country is liquor, and the only way to combat it is to put it into the young people that we are training. I have children from ten different tribes; I even have one boy from that terrible cannibal tribe known as the Gio tribe, and I watch that boy at work on the farm, and he is as strong as a mule, and I have only one boy in the mission that can throw him down and he has a hard time throwing him; he is a very obedient boy and I have had to whip him only once. I am trying hard to get a boy from the Mono tribe that is the greatest cannibals we have in Liberia. All the Africans need is a chance and by the help of God I mean to do my very best, to give them a chance. I have a fine boy of Dey tribe that I hope to send over next year, I wonder if I can send him to our school in Topeka now, since you all have acted visibly and made a change? Let me snow when you answer this letter. Joping to hear from you soon and hut you are all as well as I am. I remain, your in Christ, F. B. Watson. (Preston News Service) CANONSEBURG, PA, Oct. 23 With the arrival here Tuesday of 15 miners, mostly Negroes, who expect to work in the Midland, No. 1 mine of the Pittsburg Coal Co, when it is reopened shortly, deputies were stationed at the mine and near company houses. Altogether 145 miners have arrived here from the south, expecting to work in the mine, which is located two miles east of Canonsburg. BOY KILLS ANOTHER AS HE'S DENIED CIGARETTE ARNAUDVILLE, LA., Oct. 22—One youth is dead and another is in jail charged with killing as a result of the failure of the former to give the latter a cigarette. Maurice Marcel, 18 years old, is alleged to have shot and killed Taft White the same age, at a dance at the Yankee Patt dance hall in the Fifth Ward of St. Martin parish. The Marcel boy insisted that White give him a cigarette. White said he had none. Marcel then pulled a gun and shot White through the head. The Fourth Annual Banquet for New Hope was a great success. Several churches were represented by a speaker. St. Paul was represented by Mrs. P. M. Bell. Atty, Brown represented the M. E. Church. Mr. Butler represented the Indiana Christian Church and Rev. J. W. Hayes was the representative for Calvary Baptist Church. Dr. Wilson was an interesting speaker for the evening. The guests were entertained by two instrumental musical selections by Miss Dorothy L. Sims and two vocal selections from Mme. Odell Stone-Gray. Everybody seemed to have had a wonderful time. Rev. Marchant was master of ceremony. We were very glad to hear Rev. Marchant make the state A TRIP SOUTH. Mrs. M. D. Gorum of 1139 N. Washington returned home last Sunday from a two weeks' trip through the South in company with Mrs. G. W. Holiday of Sedalia, Mo. The visit began at Lake Charles La. from there to Mosaville as guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. A Rigmaiden. They attended the 8 days Annual Conference of Christ's Sanctified Holy Church. This being its 21st annual session. Mrs. Gorum who went to represent the Northeastern Branch of said church, reports an in-spring session. The South Branch agreed to have a joint session with the Northern in Center View, Mo., in August, 1926. Among other places of interest visited where their churches are established were: Elizabeth, Oakdale, Glenmora, West Lake and Alexandria, La. A trip was made to Sulphur, where the mines are located; there they raw loads of sulphur that was taken from earth. The party was successful in catching number of fish at Sulphur. At Elizabeth they saw mills and the Turpentine factory was visited. Fort Smith Little Rock, and Pine, Bluff, Arkansas, also made lasting impressions. Mrs Gorham found the Negro of the South very progressive and their hospitality unexcelled. She is so impressed with the South, she would like to live down there. Mrs. Gorhum who is better known as Mies Lenora Fahie, came to America in 1915. She then expressed her desire to see America East, West, North and South. She has been East and South and hopes to go North and West. She made a trip back to her home in the West Indies, two years ago. Five Cents Per Copy CONTROVERSY OVER NEGRO SCHOOL IN N.C. FINALLY ENDS (Preston News Service) SMITHFIELD, N. C. Oct. 23.—The colored school of Smithfield, which has been under discussion for several months and which finally landed in the courts under an application for a writ of mandamus by the Negro tax payers of this place in school district No. 1, was given an eight months' term, Tuesday. The Board of trustees of the Smithfield schools held an execution stipulating that the school shall have a term of not less than eight months with requirements necessary for a standard accredited high School. This settled the matter in the controversy and permits the school which reached standardization last year to remain unmolested. Prof. N. C. Newbold and Dr. J. H. Hiblismuth of the State Department of Education were present, also E. J. Wellons, attorney for the colored taxpayers of the District. HAGERSTOWN, MD., Oct. 22—Jno Greene, slave and hostler for General Stonewall Jackson throughout the Civil war, was found dead in bed at his home in Williamsport, near here. Sunday. Green, reckoned his age at 98. He was born in Virginia. MAJOR FRY SEES KLAN TAK- ING OVER U. S. GOVERNMENT MAJOR FRY SEES KLAN TAK- ING OVER U. S. GOVERNMENT SCHENECTADY, N. Y. Oct. 16- While white Americans live in a fool's paradise hedged about on all sides by prejudice and intolerance, the Ku Kux Klan enters the most threatening phase of its life, according to Major With business dozing over its own affairs, reformers arising with new shouts of "thou shalt not," the refurious Ku Kux Klan is turning slightly from its vicious attacks upon Catholics, Negroes and Jews to sap the vital strength of government, which it wants for itself. This was the salient point brought out in a renewed exposure of the klan made here last Thursday night by Major Henry Fry. He declared that the public had a chance to crush the klan but failed by lack of interest in seeing the great menace this monster was to the social, industrial and moral progress of the country. He said that when the New York World made the great exposure of the klan, if the people of the country had awakened to the seriousness of the situation the klan would now have been only an unpleasant memory. "Now here is what is going to happen in this country unless business men awake from their slumbers," declared Major Fry "the klan situation in eastern in industrial centers is becoming more and more acute. As the klan grows stronger among workingmen, one of these days you are going to see a gigantile racial and religious riot that will tear industry to shreds. The small states that control the Constitutional amendments are likely to start a movement to amend the Constitution of the United States, disfranchising, Negroes, Catholics and Jews. And if this happens you may draw your own conclusion." Major Fry was once a member of the klan and when he saw the real plans and purposes of the organization withdrew from its ranks and joined with the stuff of the New York World in an effort to lay plainly before the people of the United States the real plans and purposes of the Invisible Emtire. Sunday School Lesson (By REV P B PITZWATR, DD, Dean of the Evening School bloody Silie in- situte of Chicago) (© 1915, Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 25 LESSON TEXT—Acut 19 1-41 GOLDEN TEXT—'For the love of money is the root of all evil'—I Tim. $ 10 PRIMARY TOPIC—Paul Tells Idol-Makers About Jesus JUNIOR TOPIC—Pauls Preaching Stirs Up a Riot INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Diana of Christ YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Money or Christ Apollos, an Alexandrian Jew, an eloquent man and miracle in the Scriptures, had preceded Paul at Ephesus. He had diligently taught the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John When Aquila and Priscilla heard him they perceived his lack of instruction in Christian truth. Therefore, they took him and expourced unto him the way of God more perfectly. Having thus come into fuller light, the bishop gave him a letter of endorsement as he passed to other fields. 1. John's Disciples Become Christians (v. 17). These 12 disciples had been taught only the imption of repentence as a preparation for the kingdom of God. Paul taught them to believe on Christ l. e., to receive Him as the One on the cross who had provided redemption for them. When they received Christ, Paul laid hands upon them and they received the Holy Sabbath. II. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (v. 810). 1. In the Jewish Synagogue (v. 8) Though the Jews were Paul's investeate encounters, His rule was to go to them first with the gospel. His preaching was characterized (1) By holdness He realized that God sent him, and that His authority was back of him (2) By reason, God's message is in accord with the highest reason (3) By persuasion It is not enough to come boldly with a reasonable message, it must be accompanied by persuasion (4) By speaking, "concerning the kingdom of God," He did not discourse on current events literature or philosophy, but upon the message of salvation through Christ 2. In the Schoolhouse of Tyrannus (iv. 010). The Jews, being enemies of the gospel of the grace of God, were only hardened by Paul's earnest preaching Paul separated the disciples from them and resorted to the schoolhouse of Tyrannus. This was followed with clorious results III. God Working Miracles by Paul (vv. 11 16). Ephesus was noted for its wonder workers. If Paul's ministry was to be successful here, God must in an extraordinary way put His seal upon His work. So wonderfully did He manifest His power that handkerchiefs and aprons brought from Paul's body healed the sick and cast out evil spirits. IV. A Glorious Awakening (vv. 17- 41). 1. Fear Pallas Upon All (v. 17)). 1. Fear Falls Upon All (v. 17). News of the casting out of these evil spirits created impressions favorable to Christianity. 2. It Brought to the Front Those Who Professed Faith in Christ, While Not Living Right Lives (v. 18). They believed but had not broken from sin. 3. Gave Up the Practice of Black Arts (v. 19). This means forms of jugglery by use of charms and magical words. They proved the gunniness of their actions by publicly burning their books. 4. Uproar of the Silversmith at Ephesus (vv. 23-41) (1) The Occasion (vv. 2124) This was the power of the gospel in destroying the infamous business of Demetrius and his followers. It was clear to them that idolatry was tottoring before the power of the gospel (2) The Method (v. 2529) Demetrius, a leading business man, whose business was the stray of others of a similar nature called a meeting and stated that much people had been turned from industry and that the market for their wares was un- tertially weakened. He appended to his followers. a. On the ground of business saying "This, our craft, is in danger of be- ing set at night." v. 27 b. On the ground of religious preju- dice. He said "the temple of the great goddess Diana shall be de- spised" (v. 27). His speech gained his end Christianity Christianity is no more scheme of doctrine or of ethical practice but is instead a kind of miracle, a power out of nature and above, descending into it; a historically supernatural movement on the world, that is visibly entered into it, and organized to be an institution in the person of Jesus Christ.—Horace Businell.

A Sale of Ginghams HOUSE APRON At $1.00 IN THE ECOMONY BASEMENT BEN ALLEN, KANSAS, Oct. 4. The Loganport Union S. S. Convention met with Mt. St. Baptist On., Oakley, Kansas, Oct. 4th. The weather was fair with a large crowd in attendance. Many visitors came a long way to attend. The Sunday School lesson was followed by an old-fashioned covenant meeting, led by Itev. M. S. Jones. There was much fervor manifested during this meeting, which was inducted a spiritual tone. A solo, "Angels Get My Mansion Ready;" by Mrs. Salhe Howard, followed. Rev. J. W. Wilson delivered an excellent sermon. "The Holy Spirit;" from John 20:22: "And when He had said this He breathed on them and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." He gave some vivid examples of the power of the Holy Ghost down thru the ages. Exhorted the Church to greater faith thru the medium of prayer. Having thus dined spiritually, with the arrival of the noon hour, a sumptuous repast was spread from well-ruled baskets; and our physical hunger, also, was appenced. Afternoon Session. The Convention now came to order: Song by congregation. Welcome Address, Bro. Jesse Duck, Mt. Olive. Response by Sister Mamie Smith, Edith S. S. We were favored at this time with an essay by Miss Bernice Neving of Pleasant View; "My Attitude as a Christian Toward the Church;" showed very clearly that a Christian should co-operate with and help the Church, wheresoever he may be; that being in the service of the Lord is the highest type of service. Obeying the admonition of our Lord to 'occupy' 'till I come.' This paper was very helpful. A musical reading by Mrs. Viola Wheeler was grand. It was delivered with the art and talent of the advanced elocutionist. "The Eternal City;" a vocal and instrumental duet by Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Ward, was rendered, being an excellent example of cultured musical rendition. Oakley Junior Choir sang, "Ring Out the Message;" for which they were encored. Among those who read interesting papers were Mrs. Mamie Smith and Carl Clark. Duet by Miss Ida Wheeler and Miss Rose Williams. At the instigation of District Missionary, M. S. Jones, a special collection, totaling $25 06 was raised for Rev. and Mrs. E. W. Douglas, Brewerville, Liberla, Africa. Evening Session. Song by congregation. Rev. M. S. Jones preached from Ephesians 2:18: "Paul's Mission to the Gentiles. Total collection for the day was $46.17. This session will go on record as being one of the best in the annals of its history. The Convention is bringing about better unity among its members, better religious and helpful ed- ducation of the young as evidenced by their splendid program. Long live the Convention. M.

(Continued from last week) NEGRO THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS LAG BEHIND TRAINING OF MINISTERS INFE- RIOR TO THAT FOR OTHER PRO- FESSIONS. Report for Research Institute Reveals Serious Defects. Inst.of Social and Religious Research) "In the beginning, the venerable patriarchs who led the Negro denominations were, as a class, highly respected individuals whose merits were well known and whose defects were accepted rather with a spirit of charitable indulgence than of criticism. But as the Negro people became better educated, and otherwise increased their contacts, they, of course, became more critical." The Negro Star-for the good of the people TURK'S PLACE 507 N. Main St. Barbecued Meat Coney Islands and Cold Drinks NEW VOICE TEACHER HERE WINNING CONFIDENCE In such a trying emergency as death, the immediate family must necessarily be relieved of all the many responsibilities of funeral arrangement.

Elm Street Office Mkt. 5017 PHONES: Res. D. 402-R Pointing out the fact that the recent "rapid urbanization of the Negro has accelerated the growth of race-consciousness", one of the evidences of which appears in the number and character of the schools founded by Negroes, Mr. Daniel writes; "Of the fifty-two schools included in this survey as having a department or school of theology thirty-four were founded by Negroes. These schools are maintained only at considerable sacrifice. But they are a source of great pride to all who consider themselves a part of this tripartite organization; (1) the supporting and controlling constituency, (2) the administrative and teaching staff, and (3) the students. As one manifestation of a rapidly developing race-consciousness we have, therefore, racial institutions of this type in contradistinction to the schools founded by whites for Negroes. "They maintain their hold upon their constituency to a considerable extent because they supply a sort spiritual release from what is conceived of as 'the domination of the white man.' In reality they represent a desire to be independent, as expressed in the familiar language of the constituency, 'to have something of our own.' Not only is this the dominant motive for founding independent Negro schools, but there seems to be no evidence of its being notivated by a desire to change from the type of education offered in the schools controlled by whites. The curricula of the latter are convincingly alike. "The very fixation of attention by bringing the points at issue prominently into the field of discussion has served to accelerate the growth of an already rapidly developing race-consciousness, which has manifested itself also in the schools founded by the whites, there has been a great increase in the percentage of Negro teachers, and in the importance of the positions held by Negroes in the schools owned and controlled by whites. There has also been greater assertiveness on the part of the students in both types of schools. Finally, race-consciousness plays an important role in the situation that defines the status of the Theological STRAIT-TEX TRADE-MARK HASENJOYED SUCH UNEXPECTED SUCCESS IN THE PAST YEAR THAT WE HAVE DECIDED TO ADD A FEW MORE BEAUTIFYING PREPARATIONS TO OUR LIMITED BUT EFFECTIVE LINE The following is our complete list Strait-Tex Hair Refining Tonic $1.00 Refines kinky, frizzy, course hair to per bottle medium; medium hair to good.

SOME parents have the false notion that their children are too good to be whipped or corrected, well the day will come when he or she will be much more hard to convince than now and it may take death to straighten their bodies and their minds or souls will go to a place prepared for crooked people. The home, the pulpit, the school and the community should be in harmony in order that they might give to the world a greater generation than the one now living. POEPLE who let their feelings control them, render poor judge ment. If their feelings are disturbed in the wrong way they begin to move around to see who and what they can destroy. They lose sight of the law, the community interest and the God, who says: "If he likes wisdom, let him ask." Their eyes become dimmed with strife and they get on the war path for vengeance. They begin a mob effort to poison the minds of the people of the whole community and in a short time, peace and tranquility is gone and like maddened wolves they begin their destructive work. Reason will make a people stand still long enough to reason and reason will always win. If God did not accept the sacrifice made by Cain, because it was not the proper kind nor did he have the right spirit when he offered it; He will also take in hand the Americans, who insist in offering human flesh in the flames. Israel's sins came upbefore God until He turned His back on them and He will turn His back on the American people; if they don't recognize the fact that all men must be treated rightly. In these trying moments it is hard to ask our race to love those who despitefully use you, but God said it; and we must stoop to conquer in His name, so be sure that you have done your part, then be strong advocates of right, seek cooperation of the race; throw your strength together; build financially, morally and spiritually for the future and the God, who knows all things will see your good works and give you the victory. Believe in God and you will believe in your race. s LOCALS Some out of town relatives attended the funeral here last week among them was Mr. Sexton a father of Oklahoma.
