OL. KXIII. No. 14. KS' CASE IN ANOTHER COURT att to Court of Appeals by the Appellate Division Miss L. Perry Says Proceedings will be Taken to U. S. Supreme Court, if Necessary DECISION MADE LAST WEEK Private Division, Realizing Importance of Decision, Transfers Case to Court of Minnesota. On the event the Improved Benev- ture Protective Order of Elks of New World loses its fight against dis- location in the Court of Appeals, the case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court, the highest annual of the land Directly after the Appellate Division had filed its decision in the Westchester County Clerk's office on December 31, affirming the findings of Supreme Court Justice Morschauser who issued a restraining order enjoining the Negro Elks from using the ritual, password, Elk pin and collar of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks (white), Counsellor Rufus Perry, who is looking after the real interests of the Negro Elks, gave out the following statement to the Ace: The Appellate' Division did not pass upon the merits of the case, but realizing that the question at issue between the colored and white Elks such an important one, decided to end it to a higher court for adjudication. According to law, the Negro Elks would ultimately come out first best off fight, and if we lose in the contest of Appeals an appeal will be tender to the United States Supreme Court, where we would fight it out on grounds of unjust discrimination. Our contention is that a State must grant a charter to any organization and then discriminate against the white Elks are seeking to we the State of New York do. Such proceedings would be contrary to the organized principles of our Government." Decision of Appellate Division Not Simplificent. The decision rendered by the Appellate Division on December 31 is of significant, as the Appellate judges agreed that it would be best to have the case tried in the Court of Appeals. The order issued by the Appellate Division was as follows: Judgment affirmed without costs; further trial on the authority of the trial of 1812 against the Society of 40. 40th Appellate Division, page L. Leave is granted to appeal to court of Appeals for final adjudication.* The seven Justices to concur were Michael H. Hirchberg, presiding; Alert F. Jenks, Nathan L. Miller, Albert T. Rich, Joseph A. Purr, Joseph A. Burr and William J. Gay- The fight between the colored and white Elks has been in the courts of New York for a number of months. And the ultimate settlement of the war will mean much to Negro secret organizations. The white Elks made application asking that the colored Elks be enjoined from using the usual password, colors and pin of the Benevolent Order of Elks, claim that many whites refused to join order because there was such a similarity between the white and colored organizations, and that Negro Elks had been known to stop a white Elk in public places and attempt to be about the secrets of the order Supreme Court Justice Morschauser ended down a decision in favor of the white Elks, and although an appeal was taken to the Appellate Division the seven Judges sitting on the case decided to refer it to a higher court, so vital were the issues involved.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGR Atlanta, Ga., Jan 14—Many stories of inhuman cruelty to prisoners convicted of misdemeanors are being told to the Council Committee which is investigating the charges made against the management of the City Prison stockade Mayor Maddox is deeply interested in the testimony, and the citizens are aroused over the barbarities alleged to have been committed Herschel Ivy, a former guard at the stockade, who resigned because of conditions and who had kept a diary of things that happened while he was there, has been a valuable witness. He swore that Mose Johnson, a Negro, told Superintendent Vining that he was too ill to work. Vining ordered him whipped. After the whipping Johnson collapsed and was sent to a hospital where he died a week later The witness saw a young white girl, Ruby Gaithar, chained to the wall by her hands until she fainted. Ruby swore that she did not know how long she was left hanging after she fainted. Ivy supplied the information. He said she was left there unconscious for thirty minutes. He held up her limp body while Vining removed the shackles, and said she went into convulsions and frothed at the mouth. White women, he declared, were fed from scraps picked up from the floor of the men's mess hall. The floor is of dirt, and witnesses swore that the water closets were in the room, and that there was filth a foot thick on it, the stench from which was unbearable. Ivy said that there were a hundred hens kept at the prison and that the eggs were gathered each day by Commissioner of Public Works Collier, who took them away with him. A strap, said by the defense to be the strap used to whip prisoners, was shown. Members of the grand jury and other witnesses said it was not the one they saw, that the real one was studded with rivets. The officials admitted this and offered to produce the strap later American Negro Academy Officers Elected.

IMPROVING OF VIRGINIA SCHOOLS IMPROVING OF VIRGINIA SCHOOLS Negro Teachers' and Improvement League Makes Report 2,000 RURAL SCHOOLS Many Local Leagues Organized—Monthly Institutes Held—State Officials Interested. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE Petersburg, Va., Jan. 4.—The Negro Teachers' and School Improvement League of Virginia, with headquarters in this city, reports through its president, Prof. Jas T Phillips, the recent organization of thirty-odd new local leagues for self-help in the way of improving Negro schools. The organization, which is a department of the Virginia Educational Association, of which Maj. R. R Moton, of Hampton, is president, has absorbed the old Virginia State Teachers' Association. It represents a system of Negro cooperative effort comprising the allied support of the heads and faculties of all the Negro colleges, high and secondary schools of the State, and in its operation seeks the improvement of the professional attainments of Negro teachers, along with a complete awakening of both general and local interest in the cause of Negro education in Virginia Its officers and promoters through the assistance of Negro teachers and patrons and Through the generous sympathy of the State school officials, are succeeding in arousing local pride in school improvement to the extent that in course of the near future any local Negro school shall be a center from which the entire community will receive sound training, not alone in mere books, but in all that will inspire to a better moral, economic and satiary life of the people. Accomplishing Good Results At the instance of traveling representatives the teacher in a given school neighborhood organizes the children and patrons into a local educational cooperative league. Such a league, under the direction of the teacher and a citizen's committee, holds monthly institutes, to which the people come and hear lectures and talks on every phase of home and community life, including detainment situations as to how to educate their children, guard their bodies against disease, economize and save their earnings, as to the importance of buying and improving property, white washing or painting their dwellings, landscaping the yards, and otherwise nurturing and making sweet the school and home life. There are in the neighborhood of two thousand Negro rural schools in Virginia, and of this number three hundred and fifty have organized local leagues, all of which are hustling with fine results in the accomplishment of the objects as set out above. The attitude of the Virginia school officials is particularly favorable to Negro education. It is really a sort of psychological moment in the process of educational development of Virginia Negroes, and both the Negro educators and citizens are laying hold of these conditions with a tact and foresight that is very sure to tell. Among the promoters of this work are such well known educators as Maj A A Moton, Messrs W T B Williams and T C. Walker, Profs. E. Long and John M Gandy and Pres Jas H Johnston. Special to THE NEW YORK AGE NO WHISKEY IN TENNESSEE Disbleries Close on New Years-All Have Big Supply on Hand-To Manufacture Soft Drinks. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 4—The law passed by the last Legislature prohibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquor in Tennessee went into effect on midnight January 1. Forty-one whiskey distilleries and five big breweries are affected and all have announced, it is said, a suspension of operations It is conceded, however, that some one of them will commit a deliberate overt act for the purpose of testing the statute. Whichever one, the liquor men decline to say, but it is understood that a Chattanooga firm is booked to, having the backing of all the others. One whiskey plant with headquarters here closed down is distilleries during the last of the year, finding its big warehouses full and in a position to supply its trade outside the State for a long time to come. Other plants here and contiguous closed with full stocks One noted distillery in Moore County announces that it has an immense supply of whiskey on hand and that the price will hereafter be $1 a gallon more than heretofore. They explain the advance by saying that employees who are heads of families will be kept on their pay rolls. The amount expended annually in the manufacture and handling of mis one brand of whiskey is estimated at half a million. The closing of the plant, it is said, will stop a daily expenditure of $500 in Moore County. The management has heretofore bought all the corn produced in Moore County and supplies and stock from Franklin, Lincoln and Bedford Counties. The only apple brand warehouse in the State is a department of this plant, and was also closed to-day. The big breweries, it is said, will devote their attention to the manufacture of soft drinks. RESIDENTIAL SECTION INCREASED Negroes Have Invaded West 137th Street-Move In First of the Year. On New Year's day the northern boundary line of the negro residential section in Harlem was extended another block, and now colored tenants have taken the place of the whites who have lived on 137th street for years. Notice was given the white tenants in the five sixty-seventenements at 11:12 to 21 W 137th street several days ago that they would have to vacate their flats the first of the year, and despite the protests of many the white exodus and negro invasion took place as planned.

Special to THE NEW YORK AGE. Newark, N. J., Jan. 4.—Funeral services were held over the remains of the late James M. Baxter last Friday afternoon from Grace Church, and members of both races assembled to pay tribute to the man who was known during life as the dean of the local staff of public school principals. The church was crowded with friends and acquaintances from New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Jersey City, the Oranges and neighboring towns. The Newark School Board was well represented. Among those to officiate were the Rev Dr Edward White, rector of Grace P. E. Church, Newark; the Rev Dr H. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's P. E. Church, New York; the Rev Dr B Wellington, pastor of St. Philip's P. E. Church, Newark, and the Rev Dr. George Plasket, pastor of Epiphany Mission, Orange, N. J.

But a few days ago he was the guest of honor at a banquet given by the Principal's Association. The death of Principal Baxter re-acts a spirited contest in this city some years ago over the question, which was decided after an earnest plea by Mr Baxter, in favor of the children of his race. He insisted that the Negro grammar graduates enjoy the same privileges of entering the local high school as the whites who had met the requirements of the grammar grades. SPEAKS ON SECRET SOCIETIES Cambridge Speaker Tells of Advantages in Scrypt Organisations. Rival Candidates. Special to THE NEW YORK AGR. Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 4.—James Epps, D. G. M. of G. U. O. of O. F., of Massachusetts, spoke before a large audience at the Cambridge Men's Forum Sunday on "Secret Organizations and Their Benefits." In his address the speaker fully proved his knowledge and experience concerning secret orders. In the beginning of his discourse he gave the hearers to understand that all secret orders are based on the Holy Bible. Among other points brought out was that men should join some secret order for more reasons than sick and burial benefits, as is often done. In such organizations you come in contact with the best of mankind. The clergyman, he said, should connect himself with such bodies in order to bring other men into the folds of Christianity Since we are confronted with State Supreme Court decisions against Negro secret orders, both North and South, I really believe the time has come that all of our secret orders must unite, politically, to protect ourselves from the foe, he concluded Among those who spoke on the subject were Messrs Davis, Robinson, Hamlin, Mrs Tanner and the Rev J Francis Clark, who already being a Mason, declared his intentions of joining the Odd Fellows and Elks in order to bring men to Christ The musical program was furnished by Mrs Lillian B.

Havana, Jan 3.—Americans who are prejudiced on account of color and who are seeking to carry their prejudices to Cuba, will find that there is a marked difference between race discrimination in this country and the United States. The action of the hosteler at the Hotel Plaza in refusing to serve two colored Congressmen unless they paid $4 a piece for drinking has created such a bitter feeling among the negroes that a race was may be the outcome. The clerk of the hotel was arraigned in the Correctional Court and find $70. He was almost mobbed by a crowd of negroes. At first it was thought that it would be necessary to call out the police reserves. At the trial of the case a large crowd of negroes, including a strong representation of the Veterans' Association, attended and demanded exemplary punishment to the negro race. Senor Morua Delgado, President of the Senate and leader of the negro element, conducted the prosecution and insisted upon the extreme penalty—$1,000 fine and six months in jail. The decision of the court to inflict a minor penalty was greeted with strong expressions of disapproval. After the court adjourned WY town negro Congregation, denuded a room of 400-negroes, married a hotel crying "Viva Maceo de Patríaff" they entered the jail and demanded drinks, which were served with to further protest. To night strong guard of police has been posted in front of the hotel, as a serious race clash is feared. The Trunfo, a Government organ publishes a bitter editorial, declares that all blacks and whites in Cuba are on a plane of absolute equality, and that "The Americans must be taught by the strong arm of the law that they shall not be permitted to introduce into Cuba the anti-negro sentiments prevailing in the United States" WEALTH OF VIRGINIA NEGROES Report of Auditor Shows Race Has Total Land and Building Valuations Worth $26,600,280.

Regular Correspondence of The Aub Washington, D.C. Jan 5—Indiana points to the return of the days at Washington of which the older Negro politicians frequently tell the time when the Negroes of the capital had senatorial memberships and representatives in Congress upon whom to focus their social celebrations are past, but the bonhomme and elat of those days are returning by degrees to capital so older the reformation may work in the family of various Negro officials in the city are taking in social uplift. The progress and reformation has been very slow, and, in some cases, like that actuated by the assistant superintendent of schools, at tended by an unintelligent opposition. Judge R H Terrell has participated in this work, lending the influence of his official prestige and personality to various lines of social advancement with consistence and credit. Consequently the people of Washington are highly elated over the recent reappointment of Judge Terrell by President Taft at the expiration of his eight-year tenure of office as a justice of the peace and municipal judge in the District of Columbia. It is thought that the President will not delay the changes which he has planned among Negro officials much longer, and that they are to fall or will be trained before a few weeks of the appointments to office which will affect them. It is as erted on good authority that the appointments which President Taft will make, quite madvertently so far as he is concerned, will tend to demolish the high factorial social lines among the families and households of the Negro official coterie. A lively struggle for leadership, which means society change and a deal of interest in community life is on between a trio of Washington's matrons, members of the families of those holding high office in the district. The training which these matrons are affording the organic younger set of ladies and younger alumni of the capital in their own struggle for directive power is having a deep and vital influence on the proper conduct of all social functions, which has recently fordered a remarkably satisfactory criticism in so far as the social wheel of the winter amenities has advanced. Organizations such as the Saturday Evening Whist Club, the only formal Allegro Club, the Club of the Chicago Club and a progressing under the interest and influence of a discreet supervision of the older Washingtonians in a way which excites from all sources a highly satisfactory comment. The Normal School Social functions, which have become perennial in nature and when are under the especial direction of Dr. Lucy E. Mote and Charles M. Thomas, are setting also an extraordinarily high standard. The work of social regeneration and reorganization is being excellently conducted and its focus is becoming more and more the official caterie at Washington, however. The appointments which Mr. Taft makes, it is hoped, will not interfere by the interposition of an ancongenial faction, with the tone of leadership afforded colored capital society. The secretary of the Howard Alumnus Association, Robert H. Pelham, announces that it is the desire of the association to lay the cornerstone of the new gymnasium at the commencement exercises in 1910. The Home for Friendless Girls will be given a benefit by the L'Allegro Glee Club during the latter part of March. The benefit was solicited by Miss Louse Wormley and Mrs Jesse Lawson. The junior class of the Howard Law School is planning a smoker to take place around Washington's Birthday. A blaze at the home of Dr. E. D. Williston on Sunday evening last occurred at the lighting of candles on a Christmas tree. The Fire Department was called out and extinguished the fire it had occasioned about $250 worth of damage.

Jan 4—The second annual holiday reception of the Council of Upper Classman of Laward University, which was held last Monday evening in Odd Fellows' Hall, will be remembered by all who attended as a scene of beauty and mirth. Though the Upper Classmen have given eight receptions since they were organized in 1903, it was remarked Monday evening that never before were so many pretty girls and handsome youths gathered together in a spirit of joyfulness under the auspices of this organization. While the guests were assembling the Lyric Orchestra, under the direction of Dr Robert Giles, rendered a brief musical program. During this time also the arriving guests were presented to President Harvey, who amidst a mass of palms and holly sprays, greeted each one. At nine o'clock the dance began with Remick's "love light" waltz. The gathering of Monday evening was notable for the large contingent out of town guests.

Special to The New York Age Baltimore, Md., Jan 4 The proposed exposition in 1913 in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation was given a boom at a largely attended meeting at the Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Maryland Progressive League and was presided over by John A. Smith and W. Ashby Hawkins introduced Mr. Bonaparte as the first speaker. Mr Bonaparte said, in part "In a little more than three years a half century will have passed since the first of those great public acts in our country, which converted several millions of human beings from things into persons, from chattels into men. We have met to urge on our national government and on the American people the propriety, I might almost say the necessity, of a fitting commemoration for this memorable event. To this end we need only remember thinking men of the immeasure changes in all that tends to our nation's greatness which he flowed from the Emancipation Proclamation and the several statutes and three constitutional amendments which completed the work it began. "First of all, emancipation notably and directly increased our military resources. In the instructions sent by the General Assembly of Maryland to the delegates from this State in the Continental Congress, under date of April 18, 1777, it is said: 'Negroes rather weaken than strengthen the Southern States.' At that time and so long afterward as slavery remained among us a foreign invader would have looked and, when there were such invaders, did look, upon our bondmen as his friends and helpers, as always ready to purchase liberty for themselves by ill service to the land which doomed them to slavery. With emancipation, what had been a national weakness became a national strength; in place of millions of domestic enemies we gained millions of fellow-countrymen, as ready as any American to give their toil, their blood, their lives for the safety, for greatness or the honor of the nation which had set them free "This, however, is after all but little compared to the vast indirect consequences of emancipation and its sequel on our standing as a nation. When Abraham Lincoln declared this country could not remain half free and half slave, because a house divided against itself must fall, he proclaimed a far graver and more restraining cause of nation's weakness and national damage from which his ever-remembered proclamation was the first step in our deliverance. "Slavery had made, or was fast making us, virtually two peoples under the same rulers, the same laws and the same flag, only emancipation and the fruits of emancipation made it possible that we should become a nation in heart as well as in shape—in fact, as well as in form. I know that even now designing or misguided men among us still seek to inflame sectional prejudices and would mar, so far as they may, the great salutary work of national union, that such men at times seem to find some measure of local and transient success for their efforts, but they deceive themselves if they dream of our wage or lasting fruits to it or mischievous labors. "But it is not enough to be merely strong or great in wealth and material resources, to truly count in the merited esteem of mankind a nation must deserve to be great, must be true to proclaimed principles, must mean what it solemnly says, and say what it only means it truly means." Dr. Ernest Lyon, American Minister to Liberia, who followed Mr. Bonnarte said. What these expositions have done for other races it will do for the Negro, and it will lift the stigma put on the race by its enemies. It will redeem the pledge made for us on the battlefield. The celebration in 1913 must be more than national to be effective. The Negroes of other countries must be invited to show the works of their genius in order that good may come from the comparison. Such comparison will stimulate effort on the part of the Negroes in all parts of the world." He advocated inviting Africa to send the works of her citizens, and in closing he predicted the advancement and industrial growth of Africa. City councilman Harry S. Cummings and Rev C H Steptenau also made addresses advocating the proposed bill show Personals from Boston.

Large Attendance at Entertainment of Women Shareholders of Princeton Investment Company. Princeton, N. J., Jan. 5—The public reception given by the Women Shareholders of the Princeton Investment and Improvement Company at Douglas Hall Monday evening, December 27, was the social treat of the season, and was also lengthy beneficial to the company from a business point of view. Res Jas E. Churchman of Orange, N. J., made an address. He spoke commendedly and encouragingly of the thrift and push manifested by the Negroes of Princeton Being himself a successful business man, the business phase of Mr. Churchman's address was attentively listened to by all present, who seemed to have enjoyed it. Peter Brownley, the president of the company, made a short speech in which he explained the object of the company and also the object of the reception. He said in part, "Our women stockholders are a great material help to the board of directors and to the stockholdings in general of the Princeton Investment and Improvement Company. They are great workers for success, and in their effort toight to show to the community what they are trying to do, or help to do we hope they may induce others to buy shares in our struggling enterprise, and thereby help the race to move on to that place in the business world that will command respectable consideration from all."

Bruce, in Somerville, where together with Mrs Brinson, of Paterson, they were entertained very enjoyably, and not until they prepared to return home did they realize that they were snowbound on the farm. It will be recalled that an announcement was made in a September issue of The Age that Dr G. F. Wats, a dentist of New York, would succeed Dr R. C. Wormley. He is now located on East Third street, the former residence of D. Wormley. Mr. and Mrs George Lee, 649 West Third street, celebrated on December 30 the second birthday of their infant son Edward Monday, December 27, there was a general Christmas tree celebration among the churches. Mt Zion A M. E, Mt Olive, Calvary and Silhou Baptist church and Bethel Mission were all beautifully decorated and the attendance was generally large. As the custom among the churches generally is to charge a fee of admission—unlike Southern churches—they no doubt had a financial success The services at Mt. Zion A M E. Church on ast Sunday night were conducted by the pastor, Rev J. T. Diggs, who has been in poor health recently, assisted by Revs. E B Maynard and P Kelly. The pastor spoke beautifully and well, showing considerable improvement.

Portsmouth, Va., Jan. 4—The Norfolk County Emancipation Association commemorated the forty-sixth anniversary of Negro freedom with a parade through the principal streets of Portsmouth, on Saturday, January 1, headed by the Taylorsville Band and the Twenty-second Battalion, Knights of Pythias, Maj Lee N Colthrop in command, followed by Spanish War Veterans, school boys and Miss Ethel M Riddick as Goddess of Liberty. The Christmas cantata, "Santa Claus Victory," was well rendered on Tuesday evening, December 28, by members of Emmanuel A M E. Sabbath School, after which boxes were distributed to each and every member of the Sabbath School. The boxes contained confects to delight the inner man, and all returned to their homes pleased and happy. Zion Baptist Church held its annual Christmas entertainment for the Sabbath School on Tuesday evening, December 28. The program was heartily enjoyed by those present and credit is due the committee for the success of the entertainment.

Ehenezer Baptist Church held its entertainment on Thursday evening, December 30. A fine program was rendered, after which each member of the Sabbath School received a token of Xmas cheer.

The sympathy of Portsmouth friends go out to Mrs. Jones in this her time of affliction and trial. WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR FACE LIGHTER COLORED FOR EVERY IMPORTANT OCCASION? YOUR SKIN CLEAR.SMOOTH.FINE?

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW York ACE Publishing Company THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. In the new municipal administration the Negroes of New York, with all other good citizens, have a confident hope and enthusiasm. Representative and able and honest as are all the incoming officials, the metropolis may congratulate itself on its incoming government The administration or Mayor McClellan has on the whole been successful and popular. It has been one of municipal achievements. That that administration has been clogged and thwarted by a grasping and greedy machine, none will deny. That there has been much consequent waste and corruption was inevitable and deplorable. The new offenders are not of the machine politic type, neither are they theorists of the good good type. But independent, and yet practical they should give New York one of the best governments at ever had. May of William L. Gossner, liberal and man with a touch. Nerves who have known him, should follow up his life-long efforts for an equitable deal for the misses. District Attorney Chas S. Whitman is deeply demonstrated, through his appointment of a Negro deputy attorney, his interest and confidence in the black man Manhattan Borough President George F. McNems, who is labored long and faithfully for the uplift of the Negro, may be depended on to follow up those efforts in his official position. Controller Prendergast and President of the Board of Aldermen total state of leading city officials, the like of which the city has not had for many a day. The Negroes of New York, wishing to co-operate in their efforts for good government, congratulate the new administration AN ALLURING SONG. Perhaps the most unique and the most attractive young Negro community in this country is the town of Allensworth, in Tulare County, California. Allensworth was named after its founder, Colonel Alvin Allensworth, former chaplain in the regular army. Grown wealthy by his savings and his speculations, the veteran Negro leader has carved out of the wilderness paradise of the Southwest what seems destined to be a haven of refuge for the Negro. The town was founded last year in the tract of thousands of acres owned by the California Colony and Home Promoting Association with the benevolent ex-chapin at its head Allensworth, except that it is Negro in conception and population, seems to be the typical western town sprung up over night. "The Sentiment Maker," the town publication, splendidly illustrated, gives a highly attractive picture of the ideal location and abundant resources of the community. To the ambitious and heartstore Negro this is indeed a siren song which the Sentiment Maker sings. "It is here that the Negro will be at liberty in the highest sense of the word, to demonstrate his capacity for business and for municipal government, surrounded by an environment conducive to the highest development of his individuality. "Here, he will create the conditions necessary to accomplish such results; here, he will create ideal homes in which he will have all the elements required in a home of contentment and industry; here, he will meet the requirements of the world, which demands that he prove himself worthy of its sympathy, esteem, respect and support, in disarming his adversaries of their prejudice against him By this he will keep the friends he now possesses and gain more. On the farms around the city he will show by his capacity and industry how nature responds to those who invest their brain and brawn in her soul. Here, in the schools taught by your own teachers, you will spared the negative conditions that obtain in certain localities, which keep them from developing and being developed. Your children will be taught all that pertains to the highest degree of civilization. Here, under the guidance of the intelligent ministry, you can keep the moral progress of the country, when you are hungry, you can purchase a meal at any restaurant most convenient. Here, on your arrival in the city, you will not need to wonder if you can rest your weary limbs during the night, at any hotel in it. "Yes! Here, under the Stars and Stripes, we will be able to sing, in spirit and in truth, 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee We Sing!" We sincerely trust, we almost believe that Allensworth will realize its sweet dream. It has tremendous advantages. There are unseen shoals and hardships yet to be encountered. The grand effort, courage and foresight of Colonel Allensworth deserves the praise of the entire race. We wish Allensworth success. THE REVERSE OF BROWNS- VILLE. Every revival of the Brownville discussion seems to be attended by a fresh compliment for some one of the four Negro regiments in the regular army. Last spring when the commission of army experts was appointed to review the threadbare, time-worn controversy there came a series of encouraging and enthusiastic comments on the black boys in blue. From West Point and from Sackettts Harbor and from the Philippines almost simultaneously there came words of praise. The Tenth Cavalry came marching home and the great metropolis of this great nation in gala attire did itself proud in welcoming them. The aftermath of the conceived protest from Burlington, "Yermont, where they were to be stationed, was a round robin of praise and the place of applauded honor in her "Governor's Day" parade. Early in December the Brownville commission found what it thought to be new and damaging evidence. The southern cliffs in great glee exploded the stories for "they were worth to the intended hurt of the standing of the Negro hered his race. It it was a strange coincidence that at the same time the Spokane Washington Ineum should have been spotted in the compartment to the Leavenworth district station near Inupiat town Dewey it had Departure in Inquiry to Mr. Messick shake hand with the deputation and sign off the departure charge. We will be in touch to receive any words of praise to members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry station here. I have been in impressed with their department and the cortsey skier to help riding on the cars between the field. The The men have a motto that no soldier cars or in any public place. Their gen- tlemany dem-anor hius was for them much favorable comment. We will be in condition. The inspector also spoke in compli- mentary terms of the moral work of Chaplain O. W. J. Scott ames: the men." The reason for this praise of the excellent department of Negro soldiers is not to seek. A relatively higher type of colored than white men go to the regular army. A more prideful and rigorous for army. A untied ward institution for the ambitious athletes. Negro youth. A rushing station for Negro is not necessary on the Browns. Neither is it necessary that all Negro applicants be accepted to all the quarts. The dream of the physical manhood of the race goes in the four brave back regiments. They rightly merit. They are rightfully praised. A GOOD RESOLUTION. Not entirely for selfish reasons we would like to make this one suggestion to business men, and that is that they make a resolution for the coming year to advertise in race papers. Not only in the New York Age, but in the Negro paper of his community, the business man who is wise will there make his appeal to Negro patrons There is no other medium so valuable and so sure to reach an unreached class of buyers as the Negro weekly. The Negro paper is distinctly a home paper, and like every other such paper, it is worth a thousand papers in the street. It reaches the Negro fireside and purveys social news to the housewife who finds the daily dull and uninteresting. It is stimulating a race patronage which few realize. These facts of advertising should be pondered well by both the white and black business man who would cater to Negro trade The Negro merchant for the most part has yet to learn the value of advertising. He must realize that if he would attract other than the transient and local trade he must make both his wares and his location known. He must let his friends and his friends' friends know where he is and what he has. As we have said before, he must learn that modern industry has changed the old business maxim to read: Advertising is the life of trade. If you would sell, if you would buy, if you would exchange, if you have a business proposition of any kind to make, make it through a live Negro newspaper, and you will reap a rich return. You will doubtless think this a strange resolution we ask you to make, but you will find it a good one. THE COLORED-Y. M. C. A. In many cities throughout the North and West a bitter controversy and dissension has arisen over the institution of a colored branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. Into these cities there have been coming for the last decade a large number of Southern young Negroes to add to the natural increase. There has been at the same time a growing, unworthy and unchristian prejudice in the white Christian Associations against their joining them. Thus this large number of young colored men have been left out to spend their leisure hours in degrading idleness and mischief. These are the hard facts. This is sp in Boston and in Pittsburg, in New York and in Brooklyn and elsewhere. It is thus a festering condition and not negligible theory that faces those who are concerned for the life and future of Negro young men The problem is What to do? There can be laid down no hard and fast rule. This condition must be met and that is certain. The young Negro must be reached and saved to himself, his race and his country. The best methods available must be utilized Wherever the Y M C A, true to its name and aim of promoting Christian brotherhood, would welcome the black brother, that should by all means be the method. Wherever the Y M C A so refuses to extend its follow up and would institute a colored brother or wherever cloaked men due to their own indifference would be treated, colored brother work should be stued. The thinking practical, progressive Negro of each community will suffer and with the degradation of their people in their locality. These in each community must accept its responsibility. Each community must choose to itself. But whether it be Y M C A or its own work Negro organization can be a wonderful place to meet with people by a respectful meeting, sk and holding pencils. Some people in the highways and bridges should be gathered in and led to better life. Athletes both for their physical and attractive benefits should be rostered. A sound body is the best and to a sound mind. Games of all kinds should be instituted and en- couraged. Card playing in itself is not a neither is smoking within self-sum. Ans and all devices that will stimulate clean and upright di- vision to the degrading distractions the street corner and the private area used. The effort must be properly trained and well trained. A practical and positive Christianity is the great Whenever necessary, a clock Sung Mens Christian Association should be started. The young men must be saved! ```markdown ``` THE TOLL OF LYNCHERS THE TOLL OF LYNCHERS. The record number of mob murders since 1901, and nearly all of the victims were Negroes—occurred during the year 1909. From our incomplete records we have eighty three Negroes and eleven white men murdered by mobs during the last twelve months. A glance at these disgraceful outbreaks indicates what a small percentage of the Negroes lynchened are even charged with the unmentionable crime. There were 18 lynchings due to this cause, murder, 13, killing an arresting officer, 6, attacks, 6, shooting white man, 0, insulting white girl, 3, attacking officer, 3, and one each for fifteen other causes. Of the eleven white men lynchened one was for shooting an officer and the other ten for murder. The fendish rampage at Cairo Illinois, in November, when a Negro was burned at a stake and a white man strung up, and a similar murder in Missouri, were the only lynchings north of the Ohio River during the year. By States the Negro lynchings occurred thus Georgia, 13, Texas, 11, Florida, 8, Louisiana, 10 Mississippi, 8, Alabama, 9 Oklahoma, 5, Kentucky, 4, South Carolina, 4, Arkansas, 4, Illinois, 2 New Mexico, 2, Missouri, 1, West Virginia, 1, and Virginia, 1 The record of years since 1900 are 1000, 115, 1901, 135, 1902, 96, 1903, 104, 1904, 87, 1905, 66, 1906, 69, 1907, 63, 1908, 60, 1909, 115 The growth of mob law is to-day the greatest menace to the American nation. It is the most debilitating and the most odious of our social ills. Neither the law's delay nor rape can any longer furnish sufficient excuses. America is again marching headlong toward the precipice of the "mobocratic spirit" which Abraham Lincoln foresaw. The case has already passed beyond the province of the Negro. The toll of white victims also murdered, beaten, robbed and exiled shows that the mob gone mad knows no color line. Neither race nor State nor section compasses it any longer. The question is nationwide in its scope. While there is yet time, the nation should blot mob law out The Negro should be given a larger representation in the nation's army. We doubt not that were it left to the army officers that as one-eighth of the nation is Negro at least one-eighth of the army, or eight regiments, would be Negro EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. The Seattle Chinaman who engaged to a white girl was turned down and held up to the rabble's ridicule by a white minister and his pastor for thirty years should thank his stars on not getting mixed up with a race like that. With the death of Leopold and the coronation of Albert I the powers are hoping that the rule of the Congo will be humane and progressive. But the great graft has been thoroughly welded on Belgium and the Leopard doesn't change his spots over night. At the recent riot in the white church in Washington, Indiana, many of the worshippers were cut and bruised who used the windows to escape. The white people were behaving just like the Negro immediately after slavery except that the black man would take a window without a watch or a tumble. The United Brothers of Friendship, living total receipts of $15,000 for the past three months, is certainly one of a strongest Negro societies extant and you ever see a fraternal society lock up when there was so much to the pot? 4.

We know that it is one of the greatest domains of the Negro moral edu- cation and relational development as presented through years and other periods of the city. We are proud of the work we have done in the development of adding the New York Age Father to the New York Age And very complimentary letter of his request requesting my humble opinion as to the wisdom and property of changing the name of The New York Age, the leading colored paper of the United States was received. Although somewhat reluctant to advise about the line desired, as I consider it a particularly delicate subject to discuss not appraising the regard, presumably, entertained for my opinion, I will endeavor to scrutinize it briefly. The New York Age. I think, is a splendid name being published in the metropolis of the country which is the acknowledged business center, and necessarily the center of attraction in the greater degree of interest in medium, occupies a position of preponderant advantage. And as such, of its excellent features which has contributed materially to its efficiency and the accorded recognition, as the leading journal of the race was the absence of that display of wanted seals to its column, about which so much complaint is made and heard. I am strongly of the opinion that the presence of the provisional red flag will impair the possibility of accomplishments as much for the advancement of the organization as for the plished in its absence. Hence, a constant reminder to way of the name Negro, Colored, or Afro-American, in my opinion will neither add to the importance of the paper or facilitate any advantage to the organization, nor stand as a somewhat menacing in news-getting, and possibly militate against your splined paper's interest. Thanking you kindly for the recognition accorded, in requesting my opinion in this matter, and hoping that no exception will be taken to my method of expressing it. I have no intention to be. Very respectfully yours. C C WILSON.

Do you believe that every man is entitled to the fruits of his toll and ought to be free? And do you want to enter your protest against slavery and slave labor? Then boycott all slave labor. Then boycott all brands of cotton which is the principal product of the islands of St Thomas and Principe, possessions of Portugal. It is produced by black slaves. This enlightened Twentieth Century should put a stop to slavery in Portugal or elsewhere. Let us as least boycott all brands of cotton which is the principal product of the driving of man as a beast of burden for another man's gain and comfort. The Huntyville (Aln) Journal 一 It is high time for us to get down to real business. For our race in Cleveland and Ohio the year 1910 should mean much real progress. We have made some advancement. We are happy over the present achievements, but there is no reason for contentment. The material, political and moral progress the race should receive oergest attention. There is a disposition among some to civil over nonessentials, to indulge in personal attacks and thrusts. Doubting not their sincerity of purpose, the shadow is being chased for the substance - The Cleveland Journal. The agitation carried on by so many and heard so loudly in certain quarters against the "discriminating signs" which have been placed in the news and used to attack the affection of the city is frightless unless it leads to something definite in the way of action. These signs are carefully constructed to escape the law. The best legal talent in the State has on several occasions refused to take up cases involving the removal of these objectionable announcements. This leaves but one thing for the Negro to do: to protest against the State matter his best political talent and prepare to trade voting strength for the enactment of protective legislation to cover the case at hand. These signs are a disgrace in the eyes of all decent and well thinking citizens black and white. The county and city officials having the task of the enforcement of the law have refused to discriminate and while they are frank in admitting them to be unjust still they are powerless to cause their removal. The Spokane Citizen A few more days and the old year of 1905 will give place to 1910. This has been a year full of great things for our country. The harvest fields have been heavy laden, no general epidemic has invaded our land and we have been able to gate our gates. The Negro race has made a greater progress along all lines than ever before. Church houses have been built and redeemed from debt, schools have been endowed, banks have been established and for near friends have been heard to speak of our pro-cession. We are just learning that it is on trial all over its country and must go up or down in its meant. The Informer Died in 1915 at the age of 100. He is supposed to have been born in Dorset, in Merton, at the time of the United States invasion of the United States, at the time of the short war with Germany, at the time of the American invasion which led to his death in the United States. He was a member of the close friends of the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Army and at Harewood, where he was a member of the Army. His entrance to the Army was at Dorset has given him a career at Witherforce University and his summer was dedicated by the War Department to improve the Army's training.

The Colorado THE "SOLID" SOUTH Optimistic Review of Southernner- Bright Picture Made by Times. I very much regret letter from Mr. Nigro to the editor on the sub- ject to breaking the social South, which we published yesterday throws a considerable light on a matter that is puzzling to those best acquainted with it. This is particularly time of the view he submits of the present situation as regards the Negro. His view. The Negro is not objectionable to the South. He is needed and appreciated. The honest and industrious class is prosperous and progressive, and enjoys all the advantages of the white man. He does not want nor does he seek social equality. The virtuous element, which is growing less and less, gradually eliminated. The intelligence and law adding class has come to balance the white man's destiny is its destiny, and can no longer be driven to the polls and voted like cattle. This is not only a description, a fairly satisfactory situation, but of one that bids fair to improve steadily on the same lines. Its political hearing though not immediately applicable is evident. The greatest political abuse from which the South has suffered in recent times, so far as the Negroes are concerned, has not been an attempt of the politicians to establish anything like black domination for that has long been impossible. It has been the unscrupulous use of the Negroes as a basis for schemes in Republican National Conventions and for claims on appointments from Washington. As the better class of Negroes increases in number and becomes independent of the politicians, this alone must dwindle. It received a serious check at the hands of Mr. Roosevelt, and it has been more distantly attacked by the open policy of Mr. Taft in refusing appointments to office to Negroes in districts where they would be regarded as especially distasteful. But while this development will tend to do away with the solid South, the accomplishment of that desirable result will depend on the success in the long run with which the South shall as Mr. Dusne predicts that it will "solve the problem satisfactorily to both races." In the measure that that is done, the Negro question will vanish from National politics and local politics as well. The element in the Republican party that seeks to exploit the Negro question will be helpless as that question disappears. The very attempt to solve the question in a manner satisfactory to both races is extremely encouraging, for only such a solution can be complete and lasting - The New York Times. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA At: Great Banquet Ex-President Urgens Opportunity for the Blacks. There is no hotel in Nairobi large enough to accommodate the number of people who attended the banquet (to ex-President Roosevelt), and it was necessary to utilize the railway warehouse, which was turned into a large banquet hall for the occasion. Many speeches were made by government officials and toasts proposed to the visiting guest, who replied in his usual vigorous style, thanking his hosts for the magnificent testimonial of their friendship and propheasing a great future for the colony, which, although in its infancy, had in his opinion made great strides in the few years since it had been under English rule. He called attention to the necessity for treating the black man fairly, and of giving him an opportunity for improvement. He told his hearers that in his opinion the highlands of British Africa afforded splendid opportunities for settlers and that this section of the country was a white man's land, in giving his personal impressions, he thought that the large Indian population which had emigrated from India during the rule of the Arabs, could develop certain sections better than the whites. His hearers impressed by his remarks, and his speech was listened to with great interest. Many of his suggestions have since become general topics of discussion. The people regardless of nationality have great confidence in his judgments and believe his wide experience enables him to set into the far distant future better than they themselves. MOB MURDER. Repronch Hangs Henry Upon the South, Sava World. The southwest coast is free from fire houses and possess any most threatening years. Both Illinois and Indiana are in the rank of the northwest. But the unalterable fortunes of the war was in Souther- nia and in the Southwest. From the Northern border the battles were most frequent. To the discredit of Texas are thirteen cases two months of Georgia, twelve Michigan and Florida eight cases of Louisiana and Mississippi both. In these six Southern states must be paid for cent of the battles of the war. So far from the launching of Negro- ity Southern men being do to attack or alleged attacks on women, as committed by disorders of the Southwest, one and half of the Negroes had been held at the Rice Golling field for the crier tests most likely to be unstable most of the lawless acts of these grimized nodes.

It is told in plain work in simple, unpretentious style, with the sincerity evident in pages 101-104.

MISSIONARIES NEEDED A Land of Bounty and Has Something for Whole World—Many Tell of Dark Contine it. Special in THE NEW YORK AGE Rochester, N. Y, Jan 4—One of the most interesting subjects discussed by the missionaries before the convention of Student Volunteers, held last week in this city, was on Africa and its possibilities. To those imbued with the spirit of Christian missions, the dark continent of Africa, offers a wealth of opportunity. It is a country the magnitude and backwardness of which have not been realized, among missionaries there seems to have been a distaste for work within its numerous divisions. It has been considered an unattractive land and a place fraught with dangers. Yet Africa more than any other country possibly is in need of more missionaries. The Africans are ready for them and crying for the gospel of Christ, where there have been none to serve. What is more important the conflict between Christianity and paganism presents there a new crisis and a new opportunity for missionaries to open up the mercy of the earth to decide whether the conflict should be won or not. Christianity how to the doctrine of salvation. These were some of the central thoughts that the meeting discussed the center for the movement with the Minister Movement with the Minister being held in the Baptist church. The meeting was attended by perhaps some of the students and that protest in the American situation was awakened was evidenced by the rite of questions which found that way into the question box at the end of the session. What kind of missionaries Africa need to work the medical men and the industrial edifice needed. Can business men be treated. Great numbers of them and many questions are received, knowing that the value of specialization is appreciated even among men and women. And to all of these questions, the reply that men and women are eager patience, intelligence and tact are needed in the work fields and that at once. There was inspiring single service at the session, there were servant prayers for the redemption of Vireca, there were pleas for assistance from men who have labored for years on the dark continent. Running through all of this was the optimistic tone of the confidence that Vireca can and will be redeemed by Christianity, perhaps within a generation. Presiding at the conference was Rev. Dr. Charles R. Watson at Philadelphia, secretary of the United Presbyterian mission in Philadelphia, in hearing he read from the eight chapters of the psalm vividly described the land in the heart of Africa. He then continued to be in three sessions, taking up the past month in Africa, having visited with him in that land and the third dealing with the past in that land and the third dealing with the past there. Ship on the missionary situation. Dr. W. Watson took as his special note the Moslem section spreading from Egypt to Morocco and extending about 1,500 miles below the northern coast. Fifty eight million Mohammedans are included within these confines, and even beyond these boundaries the influence of Islamism are felt. Northern Africa was once Christian, he said, and Christianity failed there because the cause of missions failed. He mentioned the illiteracy, the degradation of women by polygamy, the degradation caused by the Mohammedan divorce system, the degradation of young children and of inhuman vices. The picture, he continued, is not only one of degradation, but is one of spiritual despair for the Moslem god is no god at all, he hears not, he heeds not for he is too great. The worst conditions of all, said Dr. Watson, are along the seaboard, where western civilization has brought with it free thought, atheism and the life and taken from the Moslem the existence of any god whatever. The picture is further one of missionary neglect, there being a vast territory of 20,000,000 persons in which there is not a single mission. There are missionary opportunities there, said Dr Watson, for there exist bases of supply, methods have been tried, the Bible has been taken to the people, all that is needed now to spread Christianity is human life and human support. Dr. Lewis H. Richards of Portugal lived in Africa stated that his church had but one missionary for 2,000,000 persons there. Speaking of the lack of missionaries, Dr Richards remarked. Perhaps you do not like the life. If you can't make him better, you're laughing about him until you do. Then he went on to relate that Africa is a land of bounty and has something for the whole wide world. The wealth of the country is immense. He declared "that the wealth of the people who can estimate it." Res. Albert T. Leroy, a missionary to South Africa declared that the world is beating their swords in the face. He has been in Africa for years in safety. "We never think of lacking our doors at night there," he said. "It is when we come back to America that they tell us to Father." Speaking of the success of missions South Africa, Mr Leroy said that his district are twenty-two self-sup- ping churches. Last year the na- there there gave $725 to foreign mis- sions- Fifty native men in the church there to whom the gospel has not been carried There are thousands of natives on the mountains between Siam and Burma who have never heard the name of Jesus, the speaker said. Medical work in Siam is done under difficulties The sick think they are doing a favor to allow the doctor to cure them. "I worked over a boy in the hospital." said Dr. McDaniels. "He was saved by only a slight margin. His mother said We had a hard time but we got him through. His cure will make much merit for you. When he gets well I am going to make him a priest. Making of therit is the essence of the Samese religion. It is thought that the doctor ought to be glad of the chance to make merit by curing people. Priests may make merit for others so nearly every son in Siam is intended for the priesthood. He need not remain a priest. Just needs to wear the robes long enough to make merit for their friend. He has met it and we him to Christianity." The missionaries in Siam have done much to abolish gambling and slavery. They also have almost abolished polygamy. But not quite. The crown prince has declined plurality of wives, so far, but whether he will continue him for the single standard or drift to parity, is not certain "Twenty-five years ago," said Dr McDaniels, "there was little continuity of government in Siam. The chefs were veritable kings. They burned the peasants' houses and robbed them of their stock. When they complained they were flogged, or put in jail. Those who embraced Christianity finally went to the missionaries to help The missionaries, said they could not mix up in affairs political. But one day a lay by the heads of 80 families was found in the mission yard and the matter was taken to the king and the practice of ignoring peasants came to a halt." Gambling was one of the causes of slavery. Men and women had the right to sell themselves if they had debts or were without means. They frequented saloons when they had gambled all their property away. When slavery was abolished slaves were paid wages which were to go toward paying their debts when paid off they were free from slavery now being led by the slave trade. Men leeched to were not possessed just large enough in their own land and grazed at the fields. They were outed and taken from where the slaves were. You will find these slaves in the slave ships.

Dr. Richter held that every man has one or more restraints during life but completely independent after death. To carry his spiritual self the follower Iliam formerly ate those possessed of soul. Americans he held before civilization put a stop to his enterprise possessed the largest souls of anybody. Therefore Americans, when obtainable formed the principal article of diet. Years ago the missionaries were in danger from open savage attack. Now they are in danger from hidden plotting. Growing out of the mission established at Batak by Munsion and Lyman, both of whom made feasts for the Japanese has come a church of 50,000 members. It conducts elementary village schools with 325 teachers and 12,000 scholars. It supports 219 native missionaries. It maintains hospitals and asylums. Rev Wallace St John PhD, talked of Burma. When he first went there he needed to see the Chinese sword burgers work by night under the hammam tree. With heavy sledges they smote the iron until exhausted they fell by their forges. Thus the speaker said the missionaries work. "I went to Burma seven years ago after teaching and breathing," said Rev Dr St John. "I had to learn two languages before I was qualified for my work. I required the language used by the people and the sacred classic language of Budda. I became pastor of the college church. I was the city of 300,000 souls to whom the name of Jesus was unknown."

Says Republican. The large number of very able Southern men who came North after the Civil War to engage in business and who achieved a great measure of success in their undertakings were interestingly discussed by Secretary Dickinson before the Southern Society in New York. In his view, the movement was due to the poverty of the South and the ambition of Southern young men to get into the main currents of trade and finance. Thus the migration has been helpful; many ways was not but he argued, and I were a controversial question. Mr. Dickinson himself a Southerner, who finally landed in Chicago, well said that "the achievements of Southern men in the North, while reducing to the happiness of the successful individuals have wrought in a far more significant way for the welfare of the country". That the South suffered a permanent loss from the departure of these men could not be maintained, if they took good care to share with the States from which they came their later prosperity. Every Southerner who has grown rich in the North might do something with his money to improve the educational facilities of the town, county or State where he was born. In many other ways, too, there might be some return of the benefit which migration has brought to him in person—The Springfield Republican. HOTEL FLEASANTS 261 EAST WAND STREET Near Mrris Avenue.

Stationed throughout the Rouse were colored ushers in uniform, and whenever a person became too demonstrative in giving vent to his feelings he was politely asked by one of the ushers to please be less stren- uous as a noise-maker , Noting the smoothness with which the business of the Crescent Theatre was conducted the thought suggested itself to the writer—Why don’t the the nike: vPanth, one ‘spunie tq, 8 trie that there are some, there could be more. Then the col- ored patrons would not be compelled to submit themselves to so many dis- courtesies which ofttimes makes go- ing to a white theatre a source of humiliation. Could Change Theatrical. It is quite true that the best plays would not be produced and seen at such theatres in question, but it would be the opening wedge for bet- ter things to come To-day the large colored shows go no farther South than Louisville, but if there was a atring of colored theatres in the South that could make their coming to the Southiand a profitable business Proposition, there is no telling what & great change the theatrical map would undergo In the South many of the more ambitious theatres have been dire fail- ures, due to the impractical business methods adopted by the managers. The writer has in mind one theatre which opened last September and un- der the most auspicious conditions. The theatre is probably the finest in the South, and yet it has not been a paying proposition because those hav- ing it in charge have sought to make it a big vaudeville house because of its interior beauty Instead of charg- ing ten cents for regular seats as does the Crescent Theatre, as high as fifty cents has been asked, although the Patrons were compelled to sit and witness a five and ten cent bill Yer the management wanted to know what was the trouble The sign of the times shows that the ten cent moving picture houses have wrought a great change in the vaudeville situation Within the last two years hundreds of large vaude- ville houses and melodrama. theatres have heen closed because of the in- yasion of the five anid ten cent mov- ing picture houses Tach day ane can read in the papers of some large thea- tre changing into a moving picture theatre with a ten-cent adinission If the colored managers im the South want to succeed in their en: | deavors they will not try to conduct 2 Hammerstem’s Victoria, or a Percy | Williams Colonial Theatre, but wil! build a solid foundanen for the! future show business en that section | of the country by running a Crescent!
