Negro Star

THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE vol.19 No.29 DIARY OF MY FIRST TRIP SOUTH I left Wichita at 1:45 p. m. on the Frisco tor Memphis. My brother introduced me, before leaving, to Mr. Walker, a Santa Fe train porter, who was going to Holly Springs, Mississippi, on a very sad occasion; which was the death of his wife. He surely did not fall short in any way of keeping me good company. At Severy, Kansas, a freight train was derailed. Our train stopped about five minutes. All along the way thus far, I was still thinking of my leaving home on my honor, to protect my name and serve and honor God to the best of my ability. I thought of the talks my mother, brother, Captain Hutcherson, and many other friends had given me before leaving. I made a vow with myself that I would not and could not deceive the folks back home. I must live up to their expectations and excel them if possible. At Beaumont, Kansas, my trip continued to grow interesting. Mr. Walker, at one time, had a run on the Frisco, as a porter, and as we traveled, he explained things which kept my interest alive. Here a dining car was taken on. Soon afterwards he went into the dining car and met old acquaintances. About ten minutes later I was introduced to Mr. George Thompson, Incharge of the dining- (Continued on page 5) BATES NAMES NEGRO GRID STAR CAPTAIN. (Preston News Service) LEWISTON, MO., Oct. 8—Charles D. Ray, backfield star, held the distinction of being the first of his race ever elected captain of the football team of Bates College. Football has been played at Bates since the latter part of the nineteenth century and during that time Negro boys frequently have made the varsity, but Charlie Ray, "triple threat of the Bates team this year, yesterday qualified as the first to head the team He was chosen unanimously when Donald Cobb of Gardiner elected last season, failed to return to college. Ray, now a senior, came to Bates from West Chester, Pa., and gained a place on the varsity squad in his freshman year. COIORED STAR DESERVES CREDIT Sport critics around the Kansas Conference have had much to say about the appearance of Foust, farmer. Wichita High School star athlete on the Wichita University football eleven. And the writer is of the opinion that if this colored boy keeps on going as he did in the game against the Haskell Indians, they will have to say a lot more about him. A boy like Foust deserves a lot of credit. If he makes good it is because he overcomes every handicap. He must never let up for a minute. His critics are always looking for flaws in his play. He has to overcome an unwelcome feeling on the part of his own teammates and he has to do this by playing the game clean and hard and at all times being a gentleman. It's hard to be a gentleman all the time on a football field. There are moments when the primitive instincts of battle overcome the thin veneer of civilization. But those moments felt by most every football star, must never come to Foust. He must endure insults and grin. Out at Wichita U. they have a lot of respect for this colored boy who has earned a place on their football squad. He realizes the handicaps he works under and just keeps on playing as hard as he can. It is the fact that he has shown himself to be just as much of a sportman with just as clean ideals and just as much nerve as any man on the squad that has TEXAS MAN REFUSING TO PICK COTTON GETS SKULL FRACTURED. (Preston News Service) DALLAS, TEXAS, Oct. 8—Claiming he had been struck over the head with an automobile pump by an East Texas farmer and forced to work the remainder of the day in the field, a man applied Monday night at the emergency hospital for treatment. Physicians found he had a fractured skull and sent him to a sanitarium. The man said he is George Evans, 23, Big Sandy, Texas. Numerous reports of ill treatment of N gro cotton pickers and violation of the peonage act are being investigated by federal agents, who Tuesday took up Evans' case. Evans sa'd the man struck him because he would not pick cotton and wanted to go to another farm to work.

MAKE PROTEST AGAINST FORCED NEGRO LABOR IN MIAMI RECONSTRUTION (Preston News Service) NEW YORK, Oct. 7—Protest against conscription of only Negro workers in Miami, Florida, and against "unwarranted shooting of Negroes by U. S. Marines" in that district, was telegraphed President Coolidge, Attorney General Sargent and Secretary of the Navy Wilbur by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The telegram reads: "Press dispatches from Miami, Fl. reports state troopeds, deputy sheriffs, and police were sent to round up all Negroes of workable age and to put them to work claring debris in all parts of this county. They will be put to work under guard." If true this constitutes virtually peonage for colored residents of that county in view of the fact this order applies to Negroes. National Association for the Advancement, of Colored People respectfully asks investigation by U.S. departments of justice and the navy of conditions alleged in press dispatch and, if prevalent, that prompt action be taken to end violation of federal statutes and constitutional guarantees. Press reports also indicate unwarranted shooting of Negroes by U. S. Marines. UNIVERSITY The Mordecal Wyatt Johnson University Club, composed of the men of Friends and Wichita Universities, has been organized. Melborn Fort is president. Edw. Johnson, Vice President, Hebrert King, Secretary and Frank Garrett, Treasurer. Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, the Executive Secretary, Water Street Branch Y. M. C. A., is the sponsor. The object of the club is first. Mutual Helpfulness, the very highest standards in scholarship; the development of Christian Character and usefulness, and the immovement of the cultural life; and the promotion of Brotherhood around the World. WILL REGIS toda subject was "Self-Denial." It was a wonderful sermon. In fact the Conference as a whole was splendid. There were some changes and some transfers, but our pastor, Rev. C. H. Glass was returned to Wichita. All the ministers made very good reports. The Conference was especially blessed with a great number visitors. The Woman's Home Missionary Society proved from reports that it had been a wonderful aid to work of the Conference. Mrs. Pansy Stephens of Kansas City, Mo., was elected president. Notwithstanding the weather was cloudy and rainy, the house was crowed at night. The Conference voted to go to Kansas City, Kans., next year 1927. This great Conference went into history with the reading of the appointments. (Delegate to the Conference) NEGRO DELE- GATES TO Y. M. C. A. MEET DID NOT FEEL AT HOME [Preston News Service] HARTFORD, CONN, Oct. 7 Kenneth C. Aldridge of this town was the only Negro delegate from New England states to the world congress of the Y. M. C. A. held recently in Helsingfors, Finland. Although he says that the Negroes were given the same consideration as other delegates, "even the white American lad put aside his traditional pre-udices, for the time being anyway," he records that they were not allowed for a single moment to forget that they were Negroes. Aldridge issued a statement of his impressions, which roads, in part, as follows: "It often happens when a Negro returns from travel in Eroupe or some nother part of the United States that he expresses his enjoyment by such an expression as I didn't even know I was colored until I looked in the glass"—meaning, I suppose, that the thought of his being a Negro disappeared entirely from his mind, due to there being no obvious sign of prejudices or the like in the section visited. I am sure none of the Negro delegates to the world's Y. M. C. A. conference at Helsingfors will make any such statement. We were ever aware of the fact that we were Negroes. GREAT PREACHER. Calvary Baptist Church will be blessed all day is Dr. Flemings of Nashville, Tenn., the Field Secretary of the Publishing House. He is a great preacher and you will enjoy every one of his messages. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to express our thanks to the many kind friends of Wichita for their letters and messages of sympathy and beautiful floral offering at the time of the death of our dear husband and father. Mrs. Elizabeth Berry. Mr. and Mrs. L. C. McCallough YOU STER ay? M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A. At a six o'clock Luncheon at the Y. W. C. A. Frida' evening, a club was formed among the Wichita High School Graduated (Ladies). The following officers were elected: Miss Lois Hill, President, Miss Irene Woodard, Vice President, Miss Martha Penn, Secretary, Miss Neola Parks, Assistant, Miss Dorothy Humphrey, Treasurer. Miss Marie Brown was appointed Chairman of the Constitution Committee. This club will work in close co-operation with the General Education Committee of the Association. All Wichita High School graduates are invited to become a member. The regular meetings of the club will be held the first Friday in each month. The Girl Reserve Advisors met at the Branch Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 It was decided that the Junior Girl HARRY WILLS BOOKED TO BOX JACK SHARKEY NEW YORK, Oct. 7—Harry Wills, heavyweight and long standing title contender, will fight Jack Sharkey of Boston in a 15-round match at Ebbets Field on Colubus Day October 12, Prometer Humber Fugazy announced Friday. In taking the match Wills thru his manager, Paddy Mullins, announced a campaign to meet any and all rivals picked by Promoter Fugazy with the purpose of demonstrating his contention that he is the "uncrowned heavyweight champion of the world." Mullins issued a statement attacking Jack Dempsey, the former champion "for side-stepping Wills" for five years; criticizing Gene Tunney, the new title holder, for indicating he would draw the color line and concluding a fling at Tex Rickard, who has declared he will not match Wills with any opponent. Referring to Rickard's attitude Mullins declared Wills would not box under any circumstances for the Madison Square Garden pomoter. The contract with Fugazy was signed by Mullins for Wills and by Johnny Buckley for Sharkey. QUESTIONS ANSWERED. The ten reasons you ask for are notated below. We hope these reasons will answer the question—why Fred L. Bell should be elected to Congress? 1. A Republican. 2. District 9000 Republican majority. 3. Understands the Negro and all his problems. 4. Speaks the language of the people. 5. Will vote with Republican Congressmen. 6. Will stand by President Coolidge in his Economical Program. 7. The most efficient County Treasurer Sedgwick County has had in years. 8. Has been a Farmer and understands their problems. 9. His election will no doubt mean a new Federal Building for Wichita. 10. He is just plain Fred Bell every day. Reserves will be Light Seekers, Light Builders and Light Bearers. A definite Honor System was worked out by the secretary and advisors. The Girl Reserve Movement is not a program but a series of principles of work with girls, thro which a girl may be helped to make right choices, end in working out the Honor System for this year, every effort has been put forth for the development of the right kind of initiative in the girls themselves, thro responsibility, discussions and recreations of all kinds, and all those ways by which a girl acquires various kinds of skill which will produce a body of which one is not ashamed, a mind which does not go to sleep and a spirit which takes others into consideration and seeks to find the best possible way of living. The Y. W. C. A. Membership meeting was held Thursday at 8:00 p. m. The meeting was opened by the Membership Chairman, Mrs. R. B. Hill Scripture Reading, Miss Vaughn. Song, "Jesus is all the World to Me." Mrs. G. G. Walton, presided at plano. Mrs. G. G. Brown, Mrs. Eugene Smith, Mrs. Bernice Wilking and Mrs. Higgs assisted in vrouly themselves. The membership was organized into twelve Calender Clubs. Each Club will meet and form an organization and plan a program for the year. It is hoped that this plan will give every member of the Association a definite piece of work. The officers of these clubs will be published soon. After the meeting hot chocolate and sandwiches were served. The Committee of Management met Wednesday evening. Plans were Five Cents Per Copy SLAYER OF NE- GRO IS FOUND GUILTY IN ARK. EL DORADO, ARK. Oct. 7—D. R. Hall, white man, charged with the murder of Ernest Woods, last October, while the two were at work at the Ritchie Grocery Company's ware house here, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary by a jury here Friday in First Division Union County Circuit Court on a verdict of manslaughter. Only three witnesses out of 11 summoned were used, and three hours were consumed in the taking of testimony. All three witnesses testified that Hall and Woods had quarreled over a truck used in transferring groceries about the place, and that Hall stabbed Woods to death with a butcher knife. SURPRISED OVER CONDITION. Mr. Armstead Yuille has been in Wichita five months with the G. M. Gueat Engineering Contractors, putting in the Conduit System for the Kansas Gas and Electric Co. He was one of the three men sent to Wichita, to superintend this work; and while he was a foreman, he was the only man of color on the entire job, lasting over five months. He has been with this company for fifteen years and states that this is the only job he has been on, where colored men were not employed. We have been told that white men will not work with colored men, in Wichita. I repeat, Mr. Yuille is a Negro and the MEN UNDER HIM ARE FROM WICHITA. St. Mary Church Notes PEV. J. E. DOUGLAS, PASTOR Sunday was a very successful with us regardless to the unfavorable weather. Sunday School began on time. Attendance was very good. The lesson was wonderfully reviewed by the pastor. At the 11:00 o'clock service Covenant Meeting began with every one expressing a desire to do more for the Lord and falling humanity. At 6:00 p. m. Union was opened on time by the President of Christian Culture Course. We had a splendid session in Union. True and Tried Section was in charge of the program which was good. They also won the Banner for finance. At 8:00 p. m., after devotional, the Pastor took his text from Psalm 27:14. He used for a theme; "I say wait on the Lord." The pastor preached a powerful sermon. Attendance was very good. The Pastor and Mrs. Douglas left Monday night for Kansas City to attend the State Convention, also Sister Laura Anderson. We are hoping them a splendid trip. The report of the sick is Sisters B. Masters and E. Cooper. They are reported getting along nicely. Lewis Williams, Reporter. St. Paul Notes. The session of our Bible School was held at 9:45 a.m. Good reports were made from the Primary and both departments. Our pastor, Rev. C. E. Brooks preached at 11:00 a.m. A splendid sermon. "The Lord's Supper," was the theme. He impressed his hearers with the meaning that when they partake of the bread and wine, as a reminder of his sacrifice for us. The atonement of the blessed Master. That God's promises never fail us. The Holy Sacrament was administered at the morning and evening services. Rev. Brooks preached again at evening. Continued on page four made for the Fall Carnival. The exact date and plans will be announced later. The Public is cordially invited to "Open House" at the Branch, Sunday, Oct. 10 from 2:00 to 6:00 Sunday School Lesson (By REV. P B FITZWATER, QD, Dean of Day and Evening Schools, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) (©. 1928 Western Newspaper Union) Lesson for October 10 THE REPORT OF THE SPIES LESSON TEXT—Numbers 13 17-14 45 GOLDEN TEXT—We are well able to overcome it PRIMARY TOPIC—Two Brave Spies JUNIOR TOPIC—Two Against Ten INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Brave and the Cowardly Scouts YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Courage of Faith. I. The Spies Sent Out (13:17 20). Less than two years have passed since the Israelites were delivered from Egyptian bondage. They are now at Kindsah Datnea within eight of the promised land. Moses urged them to go in and take immediate possession (Deut 1:21). The record in Deuteronomy 1:19 27 shows that God did not take the initiative in sending out the spies, but that the people because of lack of faith made the request. There was a threefold purpose in sending out the spies. L. To see whether the land was as God had told them (1:18). 2. To see whether the people who dwell there were strong or weak, few or many (v.18). 3. And to see whether the cities were made up of strongholds or of tents (v.19). II. The Commission Executed (13:21-23). They entered the land from the south and traversed it to its northern limits. On their return from the north they gathered some specimens of the fruit of the land. III. The Spies Rendered a Report (13:20-33). 1. The majority report (vv. 20-29) (1) The land floweth with milk and honey (v. 27). As a proof of it they displayed the fruit. (2) The people who live there are strong (v. 28). (3) The people lived in walled cities (v. 28). (4) The land is inhabited by giants (v. 28, cf. 37). In comparison with the inhabitants of the land they saw themselves as grasshoppers. Furthermore, they saw the people so distributed—the Analeikites in the south country, the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites in the mountains, and the Canaanites along the seacost—that it was impossible to conquer them. 2. The minority report (vv. 70-33). In part this report agreed with the first. It did not ignore the difficulties, nor dispute the facts, but it did deny the conclusion of the majority. They did not忍耐 the task before them, but assisted with God's help that they were well able to get possession of the land, and urged immediate action. IV. The Rebellion of the People (14:1-45). This rebellion began by crying (vv. 1-3). They lifted up their voices and cried, and the people went that night. They even wished that they had died in the wilderness or in Egypt. God took them back to wander in the wilderness for thirty-eight years. 2. Proposition to return to Egypt. (vv. 4-10). Their crying was followed by a proposal to organize for the return to Egypt. They purposed to select a captain as their leader, Joshua and Caleb protested against this, which so exasperated the people that they were about to stone them. At this point God interposed in their behalf. 3. God's wrath upon the people (vv. 11-12). Because of their unbelief He proposed to 'smile them with pestilence and to disinherit them, supplanting them with a nation mightier than they. 4. Moses' intercession in behalf of the people (vv. 13-10). Moses plend with God against this judgment because the Egyptians would hear of it and blaspheme and this they would pass on to the other nations, saying that God was not able to bring them into the land. 5. The Lord's response to Moses' plen (v. 20:30). He assured Moses that He had granted pardon according to his intercession, but told him that although He would bring them into the land according to his promise, yet with the exception of Joshua and Caleb the men of that generation should be debarred. 6. The presumption of the people (vv. 40-43). Having in unbelief refused to go up at the command of Moses, now in presumption they go. Moses advised them against such presumption, saying, "the Lord will not be with you."

Our dinner order was taken, and at 7:00 p. m., we were served a very delightful dinner; which I enjoyed immensely. After dinner we returned to our coach. I read a chapter of Proverbs and then retired for awhile. At Monett, Mo. I was awakened for a change of trains. It was now 10:48 p. m. At Springfield, Mo., I was awakened for another change. It was now 11:55 p. m. I felt surely now I would not be distrubbed until 8.00 a.m., and then I would be in Memphis; but my thoughts all vanished at 8:30 a.m., when we changed coaches into the "Jim Crow" coach. Here I felt surely I would rest for about three hours, which I did. When I awakened, we were nearing the crossing of the Mississippi River, which divides the two states of Arkansas and Tennessee. As we came nearer to the crossing it looked all the more dangerous, but it was not so bad after all. On this river I saw my first steam-boat move in reality. At 7:30 a pullman porter came in and asked that I take breakfast with him, but I refused; because I was looking forward to taking breakfast with my Auntie in Memphis. At 8:00 a. m., I arrived in Memphis. My Auntie met me at the Grand Central R. R. station. I was taken to my Auntie's lovely sub-urban home in a dodge sedan, driven by Mr. Fields. My cousin had had trouble with her car when she had started to meet me. Soon I had breakfast, I arranged my toilet, and went to the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. I enjoyed the services very much. In the afternoon we went to the Country, where I met more relatives of whom I had never seen. I spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in Memphis. I was unable to fill all of my social engagements. I was shown the town by five different persons. Each time I learned something new, and enjoyed the beautiful spots all the more, as I learned more about them. At 11:00 p. m., I left for Nashville, which meant the beginning of a new life for me. My Auntie telegramed my cousin to meet me. He having never seen me, you may know what a predicament we were both in. I had seen his picture, but I couldn't tell so very much about it because, as we all know, pictures oftentimes are very deceiving, but it was not so much in this case. At 7:00 a.m., I arrived in Nashville. About five minutes, after I had been in the station, my cousin recognized me, by the strange look on my face. You can imagine how happy I must have been. We immediately left the Station and I was shown to his car. Twenty-five minutes later, I was at his home, had met his very pleasing wife, and I was quite at home at the breakfast table. After breakfast, she suggested that I take a rest. I arose about 11:00 a. m., helped her prepare lunch, afterwhich we chatted until about 4:30 p. m.; then my cousin came home from State Normal, at which place he is a teacher of Manual Training. We arranged our toilet and went to Meharry Medical College. When he and his wife left me, this was the first time in my life I had been away from all of my people. I felt a little lonely, but it was soon over, for every one made things so very pleasant for me. I went on duty at the Hubbard Hospital Thursday, Sept. 16, 1920 and have been since enjoying my work, and doing my best under God. DALLAS WHITE C. C. AIDS NEGRO C. C.
