The New York Age LYNCH 2 WOMEN AND 2 MEN IN GA. Mob of Hundred White Men Are Incarnate Fiends in Death Bacchanalia Father, Son and Two Daughters Are Taken from the Jail in Jasper County, Ga., and hung One by One on same rope. BULLET RIDDEN BODIES While the Bodies Swung and before Life Was Extinct the Howling Mob Emptied Charges from Rifles, Revolvers and Shot Guns into their Victims. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE MONTICELLA, Ga., Jan. 19—Eula and Eila Charles, two young Negro women, their 16-year old brother, Jesse Barber, and their father, Don Barber, were taken from the Jasper County jail on the night of Thursday, Jan. 19, 1942, when they hundred white men, and lynched. On Wednesday night, the chief of police, J. P. Williams, went to Don Barber's home, as he claims, to look for a moonshine still which was said to be operated by the Negroes. He found the family, with a few friends, in their home, enjoying themselves, but does not appear to have any signs of ill whiskey making. He even it appears that he could make a legal entry into the Negro home. The indications are that he attempted, regardless of Barber's rights in his home, to arrest all the party assembled. The officer claims that he was resisted and attacked and son and sisters were engaged with breaking him. The sheriff was called in, and arrested the party, incarcerating them in the county jail. The Mob Acts. Thursday night the mob assembled and demanded the jail keys from the sheriff. Securing the keys the jail was entered and the 'Negrets awakened from their sleep. The mob took them about a half mile from the jail to a tall pine tree. With the children looking on, a noose was put around Don Barber's neck. the rope thrown over a tree. The mob drew into a barrel. Before life was extinct, the mob fired bullets into the body, finishing the job. The boy came next, and he was given the same treatment as his father received, with the girls looking on. Fighting and streaming and begging to be allowed to live, the girls were taken, one by one, by the infuriated mob of hellish demons, and swung from the end of the rope. Each time the crime was a target for the bullets of the mob, four bodies were left at the scene of the horrible crime. It is reported that Governor John M. Shaton has ordered an investigation demanding from the sheriff and the Judge of the Superior Court complete details of the outrage. It is quiet now in this community; and some of the respectable, law-abiding white citizens are trying to show regret at the occurrence. But while the identity of members of the mob is well known, it is certain they will never be brought to justice. Governor Slaton's Statement. In a telegram to the New York World, Governor- Sharon said: Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 15.—My only knowledge of the affair is that derived from the afternoon papers. I am aware of the circumstances of the lynching and then take such action as is authorized by law. I am opposed to lynching as being expressive of arrogance. I believe in the orderly procedure of the law, and I regret that any crime should incite my people to take the law in their own hands. I am aware that there are very rare in Georgia and this is the first lynching that has occurred during my administration. The provocation was great, but the crowd was unattendible. Booker, T. Washington's Opinion. In reply to a request from the New York world for an expression of his position on the lynching, Dr. Booker F. Washington sent the following letter in to that paper, which was published Sunday, January 17: T. George Institute, Ala., Jan. 16, 1916. An American citizen, proud of his country and his history. I am interested in your telegram of the lynching, two colored men and two black women for whipping a man. You ask for information of the man. I can only say that I feel acts of lawlessness are unjust and hurtful in the high streets. I care a bit upon the salvation of those who no excuse for such an outrage. cous and unlawful act. The community and or State that permits the public opinion of the world and it is useless to invite and encourage immigration into such lawlessness is permitted. Every such lynching keeps away hundreds, no thousands of good people, and no inducement induced to settle in such States or communities. In my opinion, there is a need for laws in every State law abiding man who will fearlessly stand for law and order. This is necessary in the lives of white people and black people. Even as outrageous as the Monticello inclylings are, I cannot feel that the Negro is the one most interested in bringing such outrages against law and order. I always condemn, as I now do, lawlessness on the public property, and I never felt that breaking the law on the part of one person justified other persons also in breaking the law. We have gone a long way to lynch women for whipping a man, and I can but believe that the courts would have punished these people for their trial. The conscience of the American people, North and South, will be stirred by such offenses as the one here referred to, and I am sure that the courts will be liberal men in all parts of the South, such as Gov. Emmet O'Neal of Alabama and others who represent a growing disposition to condemn the lynching of human beings. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. The following are editorial expressions on the outrage taken from the New York papers indicated: From The World. The quadruple lynching of Negro men and women in Georgia is now recognized. This has come to be the usual manifestation of a cowardly and murderous mob spirit, fostered by a lawlessness which sought a justification in "the usual violence." WHAT WILL GEORGIA DO. From the Sun: In a State of the Union where civilization was something more than a venerable, a security constable, a sailedman, a constable would get the "limit of the law" no doubt, and deserve it. In Georgia the method of punishment is different. On Thursday night a mob of one hundred persons "stormed" the Jasper county jail, "overpowered" the man with a gun, and his boy of 16 and his two daughters, and hanged them in turn by the neck with the same rope, afterward riddling him with a knife. He pleaded for mercy, but theoses was lightened about their necks and shut out of the city. Alabama, whose Governor has been scourging her lynchers as the meanest of cowards, match the Georgia man with a knife, and theoses was lightened about the revolting brutality of it. What is the Hon. John Marshall Slaton, Governor of the State, going to do with the eyes of his horrified commentrys? THE CRIME AT MONTICELLO. From The Globe. These are dark days for Georgia. On top of the wave of condemnation aroused by the magnificent attempt to force the governor to come news from that State of perhaps the most flendishly cruel lynching ever perpetrated in the South. A Negro father, his young son, and two young girls, were killed at Monticello and hanged, one after another, while the frzenized mob hid their bodies with bullets Their crime? Beating the chief of police, and to their home in search of cliché homer. The decent citizens of the State, stirred by the outrage, are calling for the punishment of the lynchers. Governor Slaton has made an effort to prevent an assault will be made to bring to justice the residents of Monticello guilty of the crime. Unless Georgia is willing to stand forever disgraced among her state's sponsors, she will have a port in this atrocity, every one who helped to stretch the one piece of robe used in this fourfold crime, every one who fired a bullet into the bodies of these men, Negroes, must answer lawfully. We profess to be a civilized nation, and in horror raise our hands at tales of the fallen soldiers abroad. Yet in cold blood and like veritable flames incarnate we torture to death our fellow creature. The lynch is put an end to lynch law in the South. PREACHED SERMON TWO WEEKS AGO: DEAD The Rev.

FOUNDER OF SCHOOL FOR GIRLS VISITING NEWYORK Mary McLeod Bethune to Address Wealthy Whites on Florida Community Work Story of Work Started Eleven Years Ago with only Grit, Faith and $1.50 in Cash — Building up of a School and Ganging Conditions for the Better. Mary McLeod Bethune, founded of the Daytona Educational and Industrial Training School for Negro Girls, located at Daytona, Fla., is in New York in the interest of her school and on Friday, January 22, at 3:30 o'clock she will speak on the population of Florida, and especially of her own work, at the residence of Mrs. M Ornine Wilson, 3 East 64th street, Norman Happgood will preside, and Harrison Rhodes of Daytona, Fla., a member of the board of trustees, will introduce Mrs. Bethune. Toronto Repertory former President of the United States, will be present. Founded October 3, 1904, the institution started with only the founder's faith, grit, or desire to teach her people and $1.50 in cash. The present property includes twenty acres of modern improvements, building modern improvements, one medium sized cottage used as a trade's building, a near-two-story hospital with modern improvements, a splendid farm house, a syrup mill, one, mule and wagon, four cows, poultry and pigs. All of this property has been paid off and shown that actual total cash receipts for the year had been $13,661.96 with expenditures of $12,463.86. Endowment Needed. There is an endowment of only $1,000, and the present effort of Mrs. Bethune is toward not alone raising the money for current expenses, but instead of $100,000, supplies for the industrial department, money for scholarships, for charity patients in the hospital, and for services of physicians for dependent students. An industrial building is also needed the cost of which is estimated to be $25,000. There is no other school for Negro girls on the East Coast of Florida, between Jacksonville and Key West, in this territory. The girls do the work of the school and farm, and last year raised many bushels of sweet potatoes, syrup, vegetables, chickens, eggs, pigs, and butter enough to supply the school and corn ha and fodder for the school and farm. In culture are conducted, each girl in the upper classes having a garden bed for which she is responsible. The school farm is a model for the community. On industry, laugh at the school, and laugh at the general housework, raffia, charcoal, rug-weaving, dairy, poultry raising and broom-making. Nursing training is also given in the hospital, which receives patients from the company in general and which is ministered to by leading physicians of Baytona. Outside Organizations. The people of the town and sur- rounding country are joined in the Married People's Council, an organiza- tion which meets each Monday even- ing at the school, discussing topics of interest and benefit to the people.

Classes in cobbling and agriculture are being formed. Then there is also the Tomoko Mission, six miles away, to which the principal makes regular trips, teaching the child- hood lessons and helping him to them. The authorities have open- ed a day school in connection with the mission. Mrs. Bethune was born in Mayesville, S. C., and she attended in turn the Presbyterian Mission School at Mayesville; Scotia Seminary at Concern, N. C.; and the Moody Bible Trust at Chicago. She taught at Haines in Chicago. She taught at Summer Institute, Sumter, S. C., and at a school in Palatka, Fla. It was from Palatka that she went to Daytona, and founded the work which she is now seeking to perpetuate. The work was started in a four-room house, with five girl pupils, three of whom were schoolmates. There were two beds for the five girls. To raise money to further the work Mrs. Bethune taught night classes of men reading, writing and arithmetic, and thus secured not only a little money, but what was far more valuable the interest and cooperation of the students. They were not asked for help until a few hundred dollars had been saved with which a lot was purchased. Then the white citizens were asked to form a board of trustees with an advisory board of women. The trustees are James N. Gamble, president, Clinchville, N.C.; the vice-president, Cleveland (Mr. White). The last annual report was padded; Laurence Thompson, secretary and treasurer, Daytona; G.

Green- bush, suburban near where they were working, the evidence that he had努 half dozen other men had努 opportunity to steal the money. E. A. Coker, the detective who pre- ferred the charges, was very indignant and told the judge he thought a white woman's word was better than a Negro- man's word. It was a self-evident who stole the money. "That's no evidence," replied Judge Johnson, "and I will dismiss the case. And every case you bring before me with as little cause for arrest as in this case, warn you. You must be dismissed, must be arrested, that naming this court. And I warn you, Mr. Coker, and the other members of your department, that no member of the Atlanta police force is going to dictate to me how this court is to be run.

GOVERNOR IS GIVEN OVATION Accompanied by Wife, Daughter and Large Party of Distinguished Visitors—His Father Was Governor of Alabama when Tuskegee Was Founded. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. TUSKEGEE, Ala., Jan. 19.—Declaring that Alabama enrolls Tuskegee Institute as one of the brightest stars in its educational firmament; that the Institute is a revelation and an inspiration; that it is the duty of the dominant race to give to every-child, white and black, an elementary education, and that the crying need of the State is better trained teachers, Gov. Emmet O'Neal to-day delivered an address to 1,800 students and teachers at Tuskegee Institute, for T. Washington, founder of the principal, on Jan. 9. The address was delivered in the chapel which was beautifully decorated for the occasion. The Governor and parties from Montgomery and the town of Tuskegee arrived in special coaches over the river to attend the Tuskegee station by Principal Washington and members of the council. They were welcomed by the officials of the school and following the institute band, they were welcomed by the teachers of the institute band. The Governor then began an inspection of the Academic building, the Boys' Trades Building, the White Hall, and reviewed the student body as the boys were marched in uniform for a spacious dining hall which seats 1,800 persons. Party Served Luncheon. At 1 o'clock the parties were given a fine lunch-in a room at Dorothy Hall. The luncheon was prepared and served by girls of the coking department under the supervision of the wife of the principal. After luncheon W. W.

Secretary Taft, President Roosevelt, Andrew Carnegie, President General Warner, Secretary James Wilson, Fletcher, Secretary John D. Rockefeller, Lyman Abbot, the late Gov. Oates of Alabama, and the late Gov. Joseph E. Johnston. After singing "Alabama," "Dixie" and other appropriate songs by the vast crowd, led by the trained choir of one hundred students, Dr. Washington, in a brief address, introduced Gov. O'Neal who delivered the principal address, Dr. Washington declared that the city of Washington by the citizens of Tunkegee was an index of the good, feelings existing between white and black in Macon County. Governor's Address. When the Governor arose to respond to the welcome by Principal Washington, the student body cheered and waved flags several minutes. The Governor, without notes and with much feeling, held the audience spellbound forty minutes, being frequently interrupted by enthusiastic applause. "I am deeply grateful for this very condolence reception. Notwithstanding the fact that during the closing days of my administration important, official duties consume my time, I could not understand how this famous institution, My father, as Governor of Alabama, presided over the destinies of this Commonwealth, and we were held. It is fitting and proper to a son, years afterward, should let this institution in the arena of a power and glory. We all reco- nise that institutions of this charac- teristic nature are the industries and development. It is rom-institutions of this character that we must expect to influence men and women to go forward to lend us in the industrial and mechanical arts. An Inspiring Scene. "I witnessed one of the most inspiring scenes of my life today when I saw that long array of young men and women marching in review. The question was, 'In what way do they engage?' I saw the flag of the Union; I saw the uniform, I asked myself the question, are they soldiers? And the answer was, yes, they are soldiers fighting the greatest enemy of the world, the enemy of their twins, rice and suppression. I said it was the duty of this commonwealth, a proposition which I have always announced, that educational opportunities should be the birthright of every son and every daughter of a farmer. Mr. Coleman Dr. Washington said: Here, side by side, are two races. We must live together in concord and in harmony and in peace. No State can afford to allow any class of its population to remain stepped in ignorance. The proportion of the agricultural and tillable lands of this State. If we take our proper position as a State in agricultural development, the scientific knowledge and skill which we furnish from our schools and institution must that the soil in this State. If we will to reach the highest agricultural development. Ignorance is a Foe. "Again, can any State afford to leave a portion of its population in ignorance? Elementary education should be the birthright of every son and every daughter of the State because the State never has the free of fess government. If we allow any portion of our population to remain in ignorance, their ignorance will tend to drag us all down; and looking at it from the most selfish point of view, we will never interest would induce the white and dominant race of this State to say to the colored people of this commonwealth that you shall receive an elementary education in the State of New York to discharge the duties of civilization. "When I assumed the office of Governor I took a solemn oath to support the Constitution of the State of Alabama and the United States. The Constitution enjoined upon me the duty that the laws were fulfilled, and hence in obedience to that oath in discharge of my official duties as Governor of Alabama I have endeavored to accord to every citizen within her borders, regardless of race, religion, sex, marital or poverty, the equal protection of the law, I would feel unworthy of the petition I occupy if I was not the Governor of all the people of Alabama.

They reached the conclusion that the chances were good for them to get ahead of another piece of "pie" after 1916. The Bull Moose and Taft factions smoked the "pine of peace" and resolved to stop disagreeing on matters of great importance, such as Republican "pie."

Pegues, held Jan 7, the choir sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" while the altar, which was covered with floral offerings from creeds. Young Pegues received his academic training and degree of Ph. D. from Shaw University, and Dr. Meserve, its President, in delivering the cateology, said that he had known the deceased ever since he was one and one-self years old, and that he was a manner, younger young man and that he had hoped for him a long and useful life. His father and mother had been connected with Shaw University as teachers for a number of years, and they have my deepest sympathy in this, their hour of grief, over the death of their only son who had just reached his twenty-second year. The Rev. and Mrs. Pegues and daughter, Miss Ernestine, have the sympathy of a host of friends throughout this State, because of his zealous Christian work among them, being served as President of the Baptist State Educational and Missionary Convention for three years, corresponding secretary B. State Sunday School Convention for eighteen years, and is now Superintendent of State School for the Blind and Deaf, a position he was held during the past years. He was educated at Newell University, Lewisburg, Pa. was then of the department of Shaw University for 6 years; dem of the TBiological Department ten years. His wife was generally Mrs M. Ella Christian of Newmont, Va. where she taught in the public schools six years, and was a teacher in Shaw University for ten years and is now teaching the oral department of the State Blind and Deaf Institution Their only child, Miss Ernestine, is now teaching domestic science in Fessenden's Academy in Florida. The Negro race must be reached through the school house which must be flooded with books, magazines and periodicals, intelligent farming, sanitation, race pride, business enterprises, co-operation, education and religion are important subjects that must be thundered from the houseup down into the kitchen. Too much preaching religion without changing the subject to wholecome advisers along business, agricultural and industrial lines has number the Negroes sensibilities to the importance of the elevating virtues.

THE NEGRO FARMER It has been decided to publish at Tuskegee Institute Post Office, Every-Other-Week for the present, a national farm paper to be known as THE NEGRO FARMER. It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers. Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, occupying an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this paper among the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. The paper will be eight pages, of about the size of "The Country Gentleman." DR. BOOKER T.

Not onl¥ to place upon him the brand of inferiority, but to have that brand recagnized and sanctioned and eniorced by the law of the land. Jt is their wish to convince the Negro himself, to make him feel and acknowledge that.he is hope- lessly inierior, if such a thing be possible. The statesmanship of the men who are, now dominant in the Government will be looked upon by future gcherations as either a folly or a curse. If these men fail,in what they are attempting to do their acts will be looked back upon as absurd-and:ridiculous ; if they succeed they will place upon their own posterity a lingering, wither- ing curse. ; oss What is the problem which now confronts them? It is simply the problem of humanizing, liberating and elevating themselves to the point where they will be willing to open the doors of opportunity and to accord just treatment to ten million.aspiring and rising people. What is the problem which they are endeavoring’ to create? ‘They are endeavoring to hand down to those who conte .after them the weight of these millions with every vestige of hope crushed out. They are endeavoring to place upon their own children the burden of mil- lions of, despondent and moribund people sinking into a’ slough of ignorance,. poverty and sin in their very midst. If they accomplish this, they will not then have a problem that can be solved by justice tempered with brotherly love, but they will have upon them a leprous curse which even God will not’be able to remove. * “rhat there is absolittely. no Feason, necessity nt excuse for, this law which certain mentbers of Congress are. trying to. pass. all thoughtful people must realize, The author of the bill himself when asked on the Noor cf the Mouse how many mixed marriages were there in.the District replied: “I-do not know how many there are, iit they are very 'cdnsiderable, and, there ought nat be any.” By this answer he showed that he had not considered the actual facts involved important enough to be investigated.- —- .

AN. AFTERTHOUGHT. OF - GHRISTMAS. .The dying embers of- Christmas 1914 lie mute and, scattered at our feet. Nothing is left to us now save -the memory of its happiness.and ‘good cheer. The, gifts have been put into service, or plied carefully away, for future uée, and the holly and ribboned wreaths discarded. It is fitting as we begin the work of thé New Year, that we hesitate a momen} to consider what our Christ- thas, just passed, has meant to us, and perhaps we'll find in the thinking of it -sométhing’to inspire us to larger achievements during'the monthis that await our fulfillment. - One importint thing which Christ- mas 1914 has taught us is the new world-conception of *the meaning of this anniversary of the birth of Christ and the deeper béauty which we are linding in service. We recall so well when-Christmas méant to us the mere exchartge of gifts: between. immediate Felatives and intimate frionds and, a sdlfish exulting over gifts received. ~"As the years pass on and leave their imprint of human struggles enscrolled upon our minds, we are constantly. gaining a wider knidwledge of men and things and the knowledge brings us to a helpful closeness with Ug i osuphy of Him whose birthday we mark at Christmas time, “For the Son of May came not to be ministered unto but {0 minister.” Thus spoke Christ as he .rélated the purpose of his coming and the world has not yet produced a broader foundation upon which we .may erect the temples of our lives, nor a sounder piilesoaty of human relationship.

If he is wanted for a certain affair he will probably get an adduplicate fee and a guarantee. Otherwise his agreement is a hit or miss for most promoters, are afraid of a contract. No matter what financial bleckening there has been or how little play an artist is to receive, she is expected to live up to tradition in the manner of concert costumes and other professional details in personal appearance, an artist may skimp, but she must does. La the beginning of my career, a promoter, also a musical artist, wrote to me, "You are coming to a city of dressmakers, and they will be sure to procure some costumes. I ruined a dress at this concert. Another promoter of a small effort in a small town, fearing that I might dress accordingly, said, "I hope you will be looking your best, as every one is exciting about concert and they are working so hard!" The conclusion that I formed was that the people were coming principally to, see the costumes. Others deliberately demand to see your clothes, and ask "what are you going to do in night? We are expecting your best." Sohne who do not know that a first-class artist has no logical reason for changing her costume will ask, as if they are up in concert matters, "How many times do you change your costumes?" I one asked me. "Where are your diamonds, all down her waist," I had diamonds, all down her waist." I stilled the desire to return, "Woll, when a colored singer can have diamonds all down her waist, she should give up singing in cheap affairs like this," and simply smiled, ignoring the question. I felt very poor, speaking of diamonds, another, still sitting behind her, bought herself a beauty. When she showed it to me she said, "This is a real diamond—the real thing," and then I knew that, she believed that mine were paste. Some Concert Gowne. A woman admired the embroidery on one of my concert frocks. "What a beautiful dress," she said. When I told her that I had worked it, she scorned it, and said, "Why, I thought all your dresses were imported." That night as I beat the dust and filth from my train and saw the grime on my slippers I slipped on to myself. Catered out on imported crowns here." One whom I had not seen for years who had helped me make one of my most successful gowns during a struggling period came up to me after a very successful recital and said, "Is this one of your connections?" "You should e able to tell that such a gown could not be concocted." I replied, "I would buy up things." In another town I was accused of spending all my money for clothes. In many small places and at schools they ask me to wear my most gorgeous clothes. "It's real missionary work to let these folks see your costumes." I knew one artist who did that kind of missionary work and at the end of the season she did not have enough money to buy more. I reply, "I don't know how much money me not only ask how much are you getting for this rectal, but they will say, 'Beg pardon, how much did your dress cost?' A Question of Age The 'ace of an artist is supposed to be a very ticklish subject, and yet "fools rush in," etc. Many times big, old looking women will come up and shake hands, saying loudly, "My wife was a little bit of a girl." It is that so. I stammer, for I imagine that I look rather young, and dislike being betrayed. "Ah, yes, I have been singing twelve years, and I was in your own ten years ago, doesn't time the bother of you for years," or "I met you over twenty-two years ago in —" "Why we have not been married twenty years and I am sure that Mr. Hackley has not been in that section of the South." He insisted and insisted and said, "Well, I was sure It was you." One kind lady brought me some hair dye. "Now you use this. It will make you look younger, and help you in your profession." Others often ask me why she dye hair. "I think it looks aristocratic with gray hair. One woman told me confidentially, "You must massage, as I do, and look young. It is necessary in your profession." "But, madame," replied, "I have no wrinkles, why should I have to look soaked if he expected to make some money off me. Once a lady said to me, "You are the luckiest professional lady I ever knew. Professional ladies are never entertained in our homes. You are certainly honored." This was the first time I had predecessors or else ignorance of the lines of professional workers. The Landlady's Hint. A boarding house lady, who called herself my hostess, and had called me her company, "complained when she saw me giving tips to the trunk man and others, that no one ever gave her money for that. She could for people and that she needed some stockings right then. She had all my profit, so I was mean enough not to take her hint. Another one, when I said I would take a piece of cake, reminded that she always tried to pick the prize. She, too, had been well known in bath was mean and would not joy her for the cake as I had intended to do. In a small town, because my friend has several "alive" children I stayed with a woman who supplied some young men with meals. She came into a room about seven, but I had not seen the night previous to coming the towels, the rain, the rain and had returned at 12 the night before, and I was too sleepy to understand what she said. At 8 she returned and said, "Didn't I tell you to get up to breakfast now, it all is clear," I politely said that I did not care to breakfast, that I needed sleep more, but I really different. Another woman who had a waken local of plants in the room was horror struck when she found that I had opened a window, "Why, you might have grown my plants," she said, had I cared for them, Dr. Kaiser some ferrits lofts. After a conversation a woman came up to me and said, "Are you not glad that I told you to come here?" You don't remember it, I told you three years ago to come here," I had worked up the concert myself and idid not care to give her, the credit. I refused to go to a town once, because a woman to whom I had just been introduced said, "Oh, you are the one who wanted to come on our church. Well we took a vote on it." Once a man, formerly an artist along another line, said to me, "I started you out singing, but you won't give me the credit." "When," I asked, "Oh, back in Detroit. When I was there I had you sing." I dwell remembered the unsuccessful concert given by my church for this man and his fellow artist, and that the two dollars that had been given to me had gone to fare. Of course I would not admit fact that I was indebted to him when I had contributed two dollars for his railroad fare. After a successful concert the wife of the man who had engrossed me told me that "Doctor was so glad that he consented to have you come." Once an educated woman in a culture city near Madison, Madame Hackley? I thought Madame Hackley was a big black woman. My picture had been in the local papers for weeks. Another one, an admirer, told me that she just loved the way I rolled my eyes. Why, dear lady! I repelled, I repelled, I repelled, small to be rolled." She stood her ground and insisted that I roll my eyes. One may pick up relations in any town. Some one is always claiming relationship, and one may have cousins and nieces gabbe. A nostalgic effort there, said, "Why, Madame Hackley is my own dear sister." I have heard of my "sisters" in several towns, and some one is always telling me of having met my sister, or cousin or aunt. I saw one of these people. I loved them. My mother or father might have said about their resemblance to them. The Attitude of Fellow Artists I do not mind what aspirants may do or have done, but I grow furious when other artists—the profesh—"try to bellittle my work, especially at re-creation, thoroughly in thought suggestion, and even an indifferent attitude has effect. It is hard not to be conscious when a brother musician looks as if he is bored to death, after he has turned away from his music and has looked away into the distance. One "play asleep," as if the program were not interesting, or to have one listen with, an undisciplined sneer or smile as if the program were beneath his notice. Once, at a recital in Philadelphia, he met a group of people surrounding a couple, a man and wife, were compelled to silence their remarks and criticisms, in order to hear the program. Some unsuccessful artists always blame the successful ones for their own failures. Some explode—so touchy—if another artist is praised. A man whom I had "called down" thought he would humble me, so he said pompously before several persons, "Madame, who, in your opinion, is the greatest lady singer of the day?" (just as if if he thought I might claim that I am the greatest lady singer, why don't you know?" as if if she should know, and then added, "Why, any one who claims it." Although I should be accustomed to it by now, one of my greatest humiliations is to be called the "singing lady or songster. People continue to ask, Ask you the singing lady who will perform to-night, Ask you the singing lady who will perform to-night, Ask you the singing lady who will perform to-night." After the recital one is often told, "I liked your performance," as if one had done an acrobatic stunt, "offen I am asked, "So you are a songster." Do you know Miss _____; she is the best songster I ever heard, and they tell me—she is the finest of the race, she is the greatest of the first or the best.) I followed a big affair which had the following announcement: AUNT BELL GROGAN Aunt is the best and sweetest Jubilee Shouter. She has her daughter who is almost her equal to assist her in special vocal training. The twin City Mozart Club. Three finest soloists of the race will also take part. First floor of the auditorium will be reserved for white people. This took all the stare out of me. I would not dare to call myself one of the finest or best soloists of the race after that.

(BY LUCIEN H. WHITE.) The nature and artistic value of the folksongs “of: the Negro ipeaple, was taken as a subject by Henry E.- Krehy biel, siiusical eduor’ of ‘The "New" York Tribune, the dean .of music critics of New York City, and probably “of the entire country, at the Sunday afternoon recital of:the’ Music School Settlement | for Colored People last Sunday at 3.30 o'clock, The male quartet from Hamp- ton Institute sang béfore and after his lecture, ant] Harry 7. Burleigh, ‘bari- ‘tongc-sang seven folksodgs, jliysteating Teena or Mee eats ae dress. oe Eliidye C. Adams, ‘President, of the Music School Settlement, presided, and imroduced Mr. Krehbiel, who. in ‘turn, introduced the guartet, as a preliminary to his lecture,” The quartet, which is composed of j. E. Blanton, first tenor; J. Tynes, second tenor; S. E. Philips, First bass, and J.,Wainwtight, second bass, saiig a groip of three jubilee songs. These were “Little David,” “Can't Hear Nobody, Pray," and “God Goin’ Yo Move AIFS My Trifbbles Away.” The men's voices are.. well suited, for jubilee singing and they af- forded the large audience a treat. To one who has read Mr. Krehbiel’s book, “Afro-American Folksongs,” his lecture was intimately familiar. - The character and origin of the Negto spiri- tuals, as shown by Mr. Krehbiel, de- velops evidenée to. show that the songs are essentially racial; that they are the outcroppings from racial experiences. and: their ‘making the result of con- certed “effort. He dtfended his, conten- tion that the American Negro is re- sponsible for these, songs, by showin that their text could only be inspired by the- experiences undergone by the people after being brought to this con- tinent and. subjected to slavery’s bonds. He decried the tendency of the modern musician, the Negro, musician especi- ally, lo. “sophisticate” this music. by standardizing its form, making it .con- jorm to thé standard of music of European conception. Its modal char- acter has an identity of its own and any. departure from that character changes its style (or gives it an un- desirable siyle) and not oily destroys its peculiar beauty, but also destroys 1s value as an exposition of race origin- ality. : At arious points in the lecjure Marry. T. Burleigh sang songs indi- cated by the lecturer, in what he con- tends: was their original form. Mr. Burleigh sang seven songs.--some of them having familiar utles, but in near- ly every case the form was diferent from tg one ordinarily used by judnlee singers. “Even the songs of the"Hamp- ton Quartet wefe arranged differently. The ‘songs used to. exemplify the Tee inte were “Nobody kggs: <trouble I ree “Lord.” Sfeons REA the se give sight’ to the, bhnd"; “Dere’s, great camp meetin’ in de promis’ _tan’.” ‘Weeping Mary,” “Father | Abraiam” “Look ‘over yonder. what I seg.” and “Dig my grave.” Mr. Burleigh's sing.

WHITE.) bune Said in an articlo.published Jatia- ary, 17, that the, day" of the Negro oxer is: swiftly passing, and that in the next few years a liigh grade’ Negro pugilist will be as rare as a Good white heavyweight ig to-day. The writer made no attempt to explain why this dearth ‘of Negro pugilistic material is coming about, but at the end. of a longish article, comes this line: “They must fight*among them- selves or quit the ring.” In that phrase is embodied the hopes and desires of the: white man, The colored pugilistic! champions"of “the past have had long careers; during which their triumphs were many. “George Dixon, the bantamweight and featherweight Joc Gans, the mas- ter lightweight of all ‘time, and Joe Walcott, the’ ‘giant killer’ in the wel- igrweight class," are mentioned in this article, and: it is declared that there is not, to-day a single Negro boxer who even approaches the abil- ity of any of those mea. It might well Have béen added that there’ is no white boxer who measures up to that standard, either, - " Thet Negro boxer has litile eppor- tunity to develop nowadays. The New York Boxing Commission, a moribund organization, which’ has acquired a reputation for unfair dealing even with the white boxers and clubs, enacted a regulation some time back prohibiting boxing bouts between white and col- pred men in the state-of New York. This action followed the defeat of Jim Jeffries by Jack Johnson, and the re~ puted reason for the enactment was the prevention of racial conflicts and the curbing of racia? hostilities. Of course, too, it saved the white pugilist from the ignominy of being defeated by a Negro. However, the practical result achieved lias been the depriv- ing the Negro boxer of -opportuni- ties to develop. There are and always have been but a few boxers of the Ne- xro race, anid only in the heavyweight class has there been more than one or two, So where has been the Negro pugilist’s chance to develop? Ii he couldn't get matchés with white men, who was he to meet? The action of the New York Commission found an echoing response in other states, and in one way or the other, means were found to put a stop to mixed bouts in most-of the states which give legal protection tg pugilistic exhibitions, A lightweight or bantamweight of championship calibre has fle chance 40 develop if barred from the epportunity of matching his prowess against other aspirants of similar calibre in the same class. Failing to get a chance iv bor he, must necessarily turn his hand to some other pursuit, for the law of hie is inexorable and a mian must cat to live. To eat one must work. -The Negro ‘heavyweights have had to mix it up with eack other, save on one oc- casion when Gunboat Smith, a reputed white hope, met Sam Langford-in Bos- ton, Gunboat Smith ‘gnd all his friends were mighty sorry afterwards that the color line had not been kept-drawn.

JONES - TAILOR | 431 Lenox Ave. Formerly with + july 16x The Rev. Richard Manuel Bolden, pastor of the First Emmanuel Church, 109 West 130th street, last Sunday said: "That the majority of the people in the world to-day seem to think and act as if they are insane. The mind is seen ranging all classes and races, the king, the peasant, the rich, the poor, the learned, the ignorant, the black, the yellow, the brown and the white. In the midst of this volcanic sulphurous, mental eruption who is able to look on one another who is shocked, they have not the ability to divert the molten haw from its destructive course. The people who dwell or survive the hurl gaseous atmosphere live in their four thought and are engulfed in hallucinations. The Emmanuel Church will help him to a purer and better habitat. It has been and it is so now that an Emmanuel leader among his fellow human beings will have asperSION cast against him, by ennobles on the one, hand and sclerophilous apprehension, by over-gazing the audience, by other, hand, but he is to do his duty. He should silence the superiority of his antagonist by his joy in service for men and his demonstration of the truth that God is with him. Also he should not except, encourage or apprehend his enemies, but belong to him. He should never think of himself as Jesus the Christ or that prophet. Conscious of some of the power, influence, and mystery of personality may strike terror to some minds and cause, adoration, to break forth from there. Encourage the Emmanuel leader should be on his guard, for ten thousand foes arise to draw him from the gates. He should watch and light and prey. This watch is his recognition of the presence of the indwelling holy spirit. This light is the effort to keep the only beaten Son of God our Saviour and Redeemer from sin and death. The priy is that in causing communion with God the Father. He should live a human life of happy humility as a faithful and true servant of God. He should speak always forceful and clear to the people that there is only one begotten eternal son who was velled in flesh. Through the transparency of which shineth the glory of God that illuminates and the light of God. And that is the only one that hath had power given to him over all flesh: There is but one source of divine life and truth and that source is God. The Emmanuel verified this in word and deed, because of what he was his words were spirit and they are life. The Holy Ghost who is sent among the human beings to glorify the Son, will not speak of himself, group him in individuals and group him. He expresses Himself in human voice and other ways is the comforter; helper, teacher and director of our life. But for an understanding of Him as a spirit there needs to be given much thought and prayer, for often people are, moved by hallucinations rather than by the spirit of God. We think the test of the truthfulness of our claims to being lead of the Holy Spirit should be light of the teachings of the Emanuplai and of an understanding of the nature and growth of the Kingdom of God. The Impanuel knew that believers would come to periods in human history when there would be false communications, claims of infallible authority, which would cause departures from truth, hence his warning: "The days will come when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye shall not see it. And if any man (or woman) shall say unto you, lo, here is Christ, or lo, there is Christ, believe him (or her) not. For there will arise false Christians and false prophets, to show great signs and wonders, to show if it were possible, even the very cheetah, and will deceive many. The Sunday School had an interesting session and was largely attended. Three joined the school. In view of the revival services which are in progress, strong pleas were made to the children to give their young lives to the idea of the Master. Several came forward for prayers.
