AUGUST 12 AUGUST 19 AUGUST 26 SEPTEMBER Then the judges will take up their onerous task of selecting the twelve tots to whom silver cups will be awarded—six in Greater New York and six for the country at large. The interest of a mother in her child is proverbial and nothing could possibly have brought this truth more forcibly to the attention of the members of THE AGE staff than this BETTER BABIES' CONTEST. Every proud mother has her own idea of the charm and quality of her baby, and in some cases the proud daddy is as outspoken as the mother. Nine photos are reproduced this week, and in no way can the interest manifested by the parents be better shown than by printing some of the letters which accompanied the photos. One letter comes from a father, and he writes: It is indeed a pleasure to note that you are conducting a BETTER BABIES' CONTEST and to see the interest manifested in the same. If we truly trust it will be a grand success as well as beneficial to our people. Inclosed you will find two pictures of my son. These pictures were made at the age of 12 months. Last year my wife entered him in a "Better Babies' Contest" in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was 6 months old and was one of the prize babies with an average of 97.6 per cent. The doctors said he was a perfect baby, only he was too heavy and too tall for his age. His picture appeared in the Woman's Home Companion after the contest." An Alabama mother sends a photo of her baby girl, a chubby darling; and in her letter, accompanying the photo, she says: "You will find enclosed photo of her baby, with required information. If you prefer having one of the dressed, will be glad for you to return this one and we will send you to her one of her by return mail might say that she has had perfect all of her life, and has a lovely disposition.

Miss Archibald organized the work under the auspices of the People's Institute. 70 Fifth avenue, opening the Center three weeks ago. In acquainting the "people of the neighborhood of the extent and scope of the Center's activities, the following information is given: "A Community Center is any place where neighbors or people with common interest meet in order to be better neighbors and to make their common interest more effective. A Community Center is not primarily a building or a set of activities, but rather an organizing center for the life of a neighborhood or a community. It is further declared: that the aim of the Center is to broaden the mental-horizon of the people; to be self-supporting; obtain social welfare, and to encourage education. Miss Archibald is at present directing the activities of the Center, but it is hoped that a competent person from the neighborhood will be secured at an early age as community leader. Miss Archibald leaving to organize other communities. Harlem Offers Good Field for Work. Harlem with its 50,000 or more people offers one of the best possible fields for community center work. Already the authorities are much encouraged by the fine manner in which forty-three representative colored business, professional trades men and women of the neighborhood have their work and are actively engaged in the work. Fourteen outside clubs now use the center for a meeting place. A small fee of twenty cents per night is charged. The centers dancing room and large assembly room maybe rented, for a somewhat larger fee. Among those interested in the work are Robert Fearing, Counselor Louis Leavelle, Mme. Marie Jackson Stuart, E. K. Jones, Geo. W. Allen, Major C. W. Filmore, the Rev. F. A. Cullen, Mr. Robinson, James W. Johnson, Chandler Owen, John M. Royall, J. T. Clark, George Harris, C. G. Allen, Miss Anderson, Mrs. Cecelia Cabanen and Mr. Rose. A committee is at present busy drafting the community centers constitution. The center is open four nights of each week. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. As the centers are enlarged it will be opened every night. Last Wednesday night Pathoscope motion pictures were presented to about 135 persons who paid 3 cents admission. Five reels were presented to the delight of the audience. This was the third night the pictures have been shown and the attendance is increasing rapidly. Valdo Freeman, Theodore Anderson and Dever Turner, young lads who have been taught by the Pathoscope Company to operate the machine, have been engaged as operators. The Thursday evening community dances are a great success. Last Thursday evening admission at the door amounted to $26. The music is furnished in the Martin Smith musical orchestra at Last Thursday Music School played. The center pays two dollars per musician. Mothera Meet on Friday Nights. The dancing committee has found it necessary to make only two rules: Let the right or left arm be always extended, any one leaving will not be permitted to return during the evening. The former rule insures clean and graceful dancing and the latter rule tends to prevent dancers from patronizing the various saloons in the neighborhood and then returning to the dance hall. Admission to the dances is 10 cents. On Friday nights the Mothers' Club is the feature. Last Friday night the mothers were entertained with story reading by Miss J. Marcus; motion pictures and dancing. Dr. Pauline Rosenthal lectured on health and received several mothers in consultation. A special club room is furnished for conversations, classes in sewing, reading, singing, folk dancing and household management. For men the center offers free shower baths every evening except Sunday from 8 p. m. to 11 p. m.; for athletics, lectures on health and a public forum for the discussion of matters of public interests. The business men, with R. E. Nichols at the head, are now in the process of organizing for the purpose of co-operative buying and mutual assistance. Children the community center offers afternoon play grounds and games. 138th street, between Lenox avenue and Seventh avenue, is closed to traffic from 2 to 6 p. m. for organized play, under the supervision of Miss Josephine Holmes.

Birmingham, Alabama Frederica Roberts Moore 2 years, 2 months Brooklyn, New York BISHOP CONNOR FACING WHITE SLAVE CHARGES Special to The New York Age JACKSON, Miss. August 3.—Following upon the demonstration made by the friends of the Rev. W. T. Vernon against Bishop J M Conner, holding him responsible for Vernon's removal from the presidency of Campbell College, the announcement by Robert S. Phifer, special agent of the department of justice, that evidence is being sought by whom an affidavit may be drawn charging the bishop with an offence under the white slavery law. The girl in the case is Beatrice Chiles, a young Negro woman, who was placed under arrest Sunday night, July 25, after Bishop Conner had arrived in town. It is stated positively by Special Agent Phifer that the white slavery charge has no connection with the school trouble, as he had the investigation of Bishop Conner's relations with the Chiles girl under way before the Vernon matter came up. The prominent citizens connected with the indignation meeting at which the Bishop was burned in effigy declare, most emphatically that they have nothing to do with the white slavery charge. The Jackson Parr. Notes of July 27 stated that special Agent Phifer would probably have the affidavit drawn as soon as he had secured more evidence. FIVE YEARS IN PRISON: ARRESTED FOR MURDER Special to The New York Age. PHILADELPHIA, PA. August 4—John West alias Spayd, completed on Thursday, July 29, a five years' sequence at Mamensing prison for highway robbers. As he was leaving the prison on being released officers from Norfolk, Van his former home placed him under arrest under a charge of murder. It is charged that he killed another Negro in a crap game at Norfolk, but escaped. West is in the last stages of tuberculosis and the officers had to procure an automobile to take him to the daze.

Simonds, Jr. 12 months Columbus, Ohio OHIO'S GOVERNOR AND NEGRO APPOINTMENTS CLEVELAND, Ohio August 3—A New York paper announced last week, collectively, that Governor Willis, of this state, had given "scorn" of good appointments to coedited men. Just in order the records may be kept straight. Governor Willis has not made a single coedited appointment having a salary attached. W. T. Fleming of this city and Mr. Moore, of Belmont, two colored men, were given appointments as deputy监察 officers paying from $720 to $1,240—and John Fulton, of this city, was appointed clerk in the adjutant general's office at $1,200. The appointments were not made direct by the governor, but by his subordinates, and he denies personal credit for them. However, the governor has "promised" to make some appointments before his term is up—eight months, of it have already passed COLUMBUS WHITES DO NOT GIVE AS PROMISED Special to the New York Age. Courtney O. Quinn August 2--The Supreme Lodge Entertainment Committee, having charge of arrangements for entertaining the Supreme Lodge Colored K. P.'s, has been somewhat handicapped by the failure of white business men and merchants to give promised assistance. The breweries which had promised to contribute $1,500, only contributed $50. The street railway company contributed but $50. The white merchants not only did not contribute liberally for expenses, but refused to advertise in the official programme. Even the white Chamber of Commerce of which much was expected, contributed less than $200. In spite of the failure of the whites of this city to give the aid promised and expected, Chairman Barcus and his committee have gone ahead and succeeded well in perfecting all arrangements for the entertainment of members and visitors to the Supreme Lodge meeting. NEGRO CIVILIZATION IN WORLD'S HISTORY Prof. Work Discusses Subject of "Africa in Ancient and Medieval History" NO RACIAL INFERIORITY Scientists Declare That There Are No Racial Characteristics Which Indicate Inferiority or Superiority—History Ig. nerant of Ancient Africa and Its Achievements. Special to The New York Age. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA, August 3.—Among the most notable abilities to the Summer School for Teachers, which closed Friday, July 23, was the address of Monroe N. Work of the Department of Research and compiler of the Negro Year Book, on the subject, "Africa in Ancient and Medieval History." Mr. Work declared that the current geographies, histories and encyclopedias characterized the so-called true. Negro as having black skin, wooly hair, protuberant lips and receding forehead claiming that these so-called racial characteristics stamped the race, per se, as inferior. This has given rise to the belief that for the Negro to attain superiority he must become like a monkey and along all lines. This view, said Mr. Work, is detrimental to the progress of the Negro and he said the Negro-must make his own special contributions to world progress. This can be done through music, art, history, science and mechanical developments, and a number of facts have arisen in the field of science and in the annals of history which justify this possibility. No Racial Inferiority. Said the speaker: "Leading scientists in the field of anthropology are telling us that-while there are differences of races, there are no characteristics which, per se, indicate that one race is inferior or superior to another. The differences are-inkind, not in value. On the other hand whatever superiority one race has attained over another has been largely due to environment. "A German writer in a discussion sometime ago, of the origin of African civilizations said, 'What bold investigators, great pioneers, still find to tell us in civilizations nearer home, proves more and more clearly that we are ignorant of hoary Africa. Somewhat of its present, perhaps, we know, but of its past little. Open an illustrated geography and compare the bluish-black fellow of the protuberant lips, the flattened nose, the stupid expression and the short cushion, with the tall bronze figures from Dark Africa with which we have of late become familiar, their almost fine-cut features, slightly arched nose, long hair, and you have an example of the problems pressing for solution. In other respects too, the genuine African of the interior bears no resemblance to the accented Negro type as it figures on drug and cigar store signs, wearing a shably stovepipe hat, plaid trousers and a varicolored coat. A stroll through the corridors of the Berlin Museum of Ethnology teaches that the real African need by no means resort to the rags and tatters of bigne European splendor. He has precious ornaments of his own, of ivory and plumes, fine plaited willow, ware weapons of superior workmanship. Justly can it be demanded. What sort of civilization is this? Whence does it come?" Discoveries In Ancient Africa Mr. Work pointed out that one of the most important contributions to civilization, the smelting of iron, was probably made by the Negro race. In support of this view, he said, the "Apparently no iron was smelted in Europe before 900 B.C. That about 3000 B.C. there began to appear on the Egyptian monuments pictures of Africans bringing iron from the South to Egypt. That at a time considerably later than this iron implements, began to appear in Asia. There is no iron ore in Egypt. In Negro Africa, on the other hand, iron ore is abundant." Mr. Work pointed out that the Negro nation to attain the greatest fame was Ethiopia, that it was by the help of an Ethiopian army that Palestine was able to hold against Assyria and the attempt of Sennacherib to carry the Jews into captivity was frustrated. In other words the Negro soldiers of the Sudan saved the Jewish religion. Closing. Mr. Work said, "And when the faint gleam of tradition and fable gives way to the clear light of history, the lustre of the Ethiopians is not diminished. They still continue the object of curiosity and admiration, and the pen of cautious, clear-sighted historians often places them in the highest rank of knowledge and civilization "From this brief sketch which I have given of the African in ancient medieval times it is seen that we should not despise the rock from whence we were hewn. As a race we have a past which is full of interest. It is worthy of our serious study. From it we can draw inspiration; for it appears that not all black men everywhere throughout the ages have been hewers of wood and drawers of water. On the contrary through long periods of time there were powerful black nations who have left the records of their achievements and of which we are just now beginning to learn a little. This little, however, which we have learned teaches us that the Negroes of today should work and strive. Along their own peculiar lines in their own peculiar ways they should endeavor to make contributions to civilization and to world progress. A MYSTIC SHRINE MECCA IS IN N. Y. Many of the Faithful Have Traveled the Hot Sands and Found the Desert Oasis FIVE HUNDRED PRESENT The Order is Presided Over by the Deputy Imperial Potentate, Assisted by the Entire Imperial Divan, at Lafayette Hall.

Gay and resplendent colors adorned the Temple of the Faithful, for were not the pilgrims traversing the hot sands from every point of the compass, with the Oasis of New York, situated north by west in the Desert of New York, as their mecca? There the soft strains from the lips of the houris were to be heard, and the soothing draughts of camel's milk were to be found. And there it was in the cool and hospitable quarters of the Mosque that the pilgrims foregathered on the 22nd, 23rd, 24th and 25th days of the month Ramadan (month of Abstinence).

EDITOR WANTS TO BE ONE OF ZION'S BISHOPS postal code: 10010 New York, AR ONE OF ZION BISHOPS beneath the New York Market Charlotte, N.C. August 3,—The Key, George C. Clement, editor of his Christian Index, has announced his platform as a candidate for the bish- pric in the A. M. E. Zion general conference next May at Louisville. He wants three new bishops elected to live in the districts over which he preside and he also wants the church limited to an eight-year con- secutive service in any one district. He wants the bishops to be assigned to districts with regard to their physical and mental fitness. It is not thought that Clements has such chance for election, but his capa- cacy, since he is editor of the offi- cial organ, may enable some success- ful combinations to be made. Boston, Mass., August 4. Delegates to the National Negro Business League Convention are requested to have their mail directed to headquarters of the Boston Business League, 121 Kendall street, Roxbury, District, Boston, Mass. All delegates and visitors are urged to register at 121 Kendall street, immediately upon arrival in Boston. Proper committees will be in attendance at all of the railroad stations to welconie delegates and visitors and to direct them to Boston Business League Headquarters. Boaston, Mass., August 4—Co-operation and efficiency is to be the keynote of the National Business League meeting in Boston. Every section is enthusiastic. When it was officially announced through the press that the National Negro Business League would celebrate its fifteenth anniversary in conjunction with the Boston meeting which is to be held August 18, 19 and 20, it attracted more than ordinary attention. All along the line the business men began a sort of self-searching—an inventory as it were—and the letters which flooded the offices of the president and secretary indicate to what extent the business interests of the race 'ar "getting off the defensive" and getting onto the progressive. One writer said in his letter to Secretary Scott: "When I read the announcement of the fifteenth anniversary, it gave me a feeling somewhat similar to that I used to experience when I taught school back in the early days and looked out the window and saw the superintendent driving up in his buggy. I'd begin to straighten around and to get the scholars in attitude of hard work. That's the way I felt when I read about the Boston meeting. I started to straighten around the store, look over my books and compared, notes to see if I had made any substantial progress since joining the League." This writer expresses in a general way the nation-wide feeling among Negro business men and women as the time approaches for the meeting. And the figures published by the League showing the increase in business establishments since the organization of the League in 1900 has added impetus to this feeling of self-searching and "taking stock." It is certain that hundreds of business men who assemble in Boston will leave there with a renewed determination to put into active execution the following three-fold idea: more business enterprises to be established; more efficiency in business, and greater co-operation. Reports from the various sections of the country indicate that the attendance this year will surpass all previous meetings. W. L. Burrell of East Orange, N. J., who has charge of the arrangements in New Jersey, writes "I am working night and day on the various phases of the publicity work in connection with the delegation from my state and we are all pulling for this to be a great meeting in every way. The New Jersey business men's party is being rapidly formed and it looks as if in this special party there will be at least one hundred persons." Similar reports have been received from Washington, D. C., the Carolinas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and the several centers where the delegations are being assembled. Business League Convention Notes. In addition to the regular business sessions of the convention to be held in Boston, August 18, 19 and 20, the colored citizens of Boston, always hospitable, are sparing no pain to make the coming and stay of the delegates and visitors a most pleasant one. The colored citizens are one of financing every feature of the reception and entertainment of the delegates and visiting friends has been over-subscribed. The L. B. O. P. E. are preparing to entertain most fittingly visiting Elks. The New England Medical Association is making arrangements to entertain the visiting members of the medical profession. The local members of the National Negro Funeral Directors Association have in store a rich treat for the visiting members of their fraternity. Understake Basil H. Hutchins is chairman of the committee on arrangements. On Thursday evening, August 19, a reception in honor of the officers and delegates will be held in the State Armory H. Cambridge, just west of the Inland Bridge. The Cambridge Local League is arranging for this reception. The officers and members of the National Negro Press Association will be given a summits breakfast, during convention week. The local members of the Press Association are to be the Posts. Editor Harrison of the Cambridge Advocate is chairman of the committee arranging for this breakfast. A banquet and grand ball will be given Friday evening, August 20, in convention hall, by the Boston Business League, I honor of the office, delegates, their wives and visiting friends. On Saturday, August 21, will come the final climate to the "Higg Week in Boston," down in Boston's famous harbor on the palatial skimmer, the City of Boston. Boston's harbor is considered one of the prettiest along the North Atlantic coast. THE Y. M. C. A. WORK IN NASHVILLE, TENN Special to TWN, New York, Agr. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 3.—A circular notion up by the Nashville Colored-Y. M. C. A., containing some valuable information about Young Men's Christian Association work in Nashville and other cities, has just been received at our office. It calls attention to the fact that as a result of the offer made January 1, 1911, Julius Rosenwald, president of the Sears-Roebuck firm of Chicago, association buildings costing from $100,000 to $105,000 have been erected in Washington, Indianapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia and Kansas City and are now operating with from 580 to 1,031 members. Cincinnati had her corner stone less than a month ago, Nashville, Atlanta, Baltimore, Los Angeles and New York are to build at an early date. The offer made by Mrs. Rosenwald covers a period of five years from date above mentioned. The circular states that it is quite likely that Nashville will lead all other associations in raising the required amount in a shorter time than any other city thus far. Nearly $3,000 have been paid by the Nashville Colored x. M. C. A. subscribers and still it comes. It also states that if all the persons who subscribed but have not yet paid their subscriptions would pay an average of $2.15 per month for the next four months the world would doff its hat to Nashville. "The Nashville Colored Y. M. C. A," it further states, "has had a regularly employed officer, in the person of Wm. N. Sanders, for about three years. He is a bonded official of the Nashville Y. M. C. A. and is held strictly accountable boys for his department and the work it is expected to do for the Negro men and boys of that city. A. H. Boyd is chairman of the committee of management. This circular further points out that 2,500 men have attended men's Sunday afternoon religious meetings since September, 13, 1914, and that two hundred men were present at the mid-winter good-fellowship banquet. A building site costing $14,000 which faces the Tennessee State Capitol has been purchased. The work is booming in Nashville. VICIOUS BOOK OF NEGRO DENOUNCED BY DOCTORS The AGE is in receipt of the following letter from Dr. W. G. Alexander, general secretary of the National Medical Association, 14 Webster place, Orange, N. J., in which is shown the most commendable position taken by representatives of the race in regard to vicious publications concerning the Negro. Dr. Alexander's letters are self-explanatory: Orange, N. J., July 19, 1915 To the Editor of The Ages: herewith enclose a copy of the letter that have served to the F. A. Davis Publishing Company of Philadelphia. The letter exalts itself. As you have already advised a boycott for the papers which spoke unceremonially of the recent decision of the National Council on Human Rights inserted in this issue of the Journal of the National Medical Association a similar article advising the members of the association to hold this firm in when its representatives approach them. W. G. Alexander, M. D. 14 Webster Place. Orange, N. J. July 19, 1915 F. A. Davis Co. Philadelphia, Pa. Sirs: My attention has just been drawn to the publication of a book which is from your press, entitled "America's Greatest Problem, the Negro. It is to believe that any reputable publishing house should be guilty of lending its aid through its press to any such vile publication as this. It must be evident to you that this book on its very face and in every page is untrue and a label on the Negro race. This is but another of the many effusions from the demagogic brain of some prejudiced, blinded, and wild raven. Southern cracker. It would have been more to your credit to have refused publication to this book, for it is a reflection on the honesty of purpose of your concern. You are perhaps forselted and unmuffed of the fact that a large number of Negro physicians are patrons of your company, and I include myself among them. It would be no more than right if all those Negroes, for the sake of the profession, buy another medical book from you. As the secretary of the National Medical Association, and associate editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association, I am bringing this matter to the attention of the Negro professional men throughout the country, and our next issue of the current annual edition of the magazine the clinicians to other associations and other readers to hold the fact in mind when your representative calls on them, that you have been guilty of assisting in the publication of a book that is intended to create prejudice and hatred against the members of our race. Ad further than this, I will send from this office at an early date, the letter in the Journal, a circular letter calling their attention to this particular offense. Yours very truly, (Stilmed) W. G. ALFNANDER. TEXAS MOB LYNCHES NEGRO BY BURNING Survey to the New York State TEMPLE, Tex., Aug. 3—Temple's blood lust had partial satisfaction at least when on Saturday, July 31, 30 thousand frencied men and women roasted Will Stanley, a Negro, to death in the public square. Two other Negroes, arrested and implicated by Stanley in the hammer murder of the three Grimes children and the brutal assault on Mrs. Grimes and her husband, may go the same route. Arrested near Belton late Friday afternoon, with two other Negroes, "Slim" Harris and "Dicey" Bell, Stanley told conflicting stories as to how he came by a pair of Grimes' trousers. At exactly midnight the mob rushed the court. snatched Stanley from the officers, dragged hint to the public square, bickling and cursing him. Someone fired a shot through the Negro and the crowd dragged him into a gigantic bonfire a few seconds later. PETERSBURG VA Perrasance Va—Mrs Emma V. Mitchell of New York City is visiting her sister, Mrs Lucinda Brown, and brother James Petiford, Bolling street. Some of the Negro physicians are making an effort to establish a hospital for our people and have secured an option on a view beautiful as well as available site in the southern end of the city. The proposition is before the people and they will doubtless give their support. If you are having any sort of trouble with your hair, you owe it to yourself to attend to it at once by the use of Kinkine, the most reliable hair remedy ever discovered for hair troubles of every kind. Kinkine is prepared especially for the use of colored people, having been before the public for years, attesting its quality and worth. Kinkine will make the harshest kinky curly hair soft and glossy. It nourishes the scalp, strengthens the hair, and in every way is a safe and an ideal tonic to use. Address: Dixie Supply Co., 247 W. 46th St., New York City Kinkine is sold by all druggists and hair dressing parlors. Insist on Kinkine. (Continued from page 1.) tell that there is a baby around, day or night, until they see her. She is sitting alone and two little teeth have just arrived. "We sincerely hope that your effort will be helpful to our people in the future in taking better care of the babies." Accompanying the picture of a sturdy little man, comes the following typical letter from his mother: "I am sending my son's picture and I trust you will take good care of it, and after the contest is over please return to us. He has always been well and healthy. So far he has had the best of care. I wish you all good success in the contest. I will send stamps for his return as this is all the baby I have." It is a pleasure to assure this solicitous mother that the picture will be taken care of, and returned to her in good shape. We couldn't have the heart to keep "all the baby" she has. Proud Jersey parents, sending the photo of their girl baby, say: "Please find enclosed photograph of our baby at four months old. Her weight at that time was about 20 pounds. She is now eight months old and is a very healthy baby. As to her beauty, we will let the judges decide." And so the letters read, expressing naively and sweetly, the pride and love of the proud parents for promising children.

SHUFELDT'S BOOK THE AGE has received the copy of a letter written by Dr. W. G. ALEXANDER, General Secretary of the National Medical Association, to F. A. DAVIS & Co. of Philadelphia, publishers of a book entitled "America's Greatest Problem, The Negro." The book is written by a Dr. R. W. SHUFELDT, and is one of the most bitter and venomous attacks. ever made on the race. In SHUFELDT's opinion, there is absolutely nothing good in us. For example he says, "It is impossible to improve the morals of a people when they have no morals to improve." He also advocates the plan of having the government appropriate $150,000,000 to deport us from the country. In fact, the extreme bitterness of the author defeats the very aim he had in writing the book; what he says is too bad to be believed of any human beings. However, The National Medical Association has done well in writing the strong letter sent to the publishers of the book—we presume that F. A. DAVIS & Co. are publishers of medical books—and we hope that the colored doctors of the country will be able to exert sufficient combined pressure to compel the withdrawal of the offensive publication: · ISAIAH MONTGOMERY The Planters' Bank of Clarksdale, Miss., is acting as trustee and registrar for the bond subscription for the purpose of paying the encumbrances on the property of ISAIAII T: MONTGOMERY and his wife at Mound Bayou. This fund has been started by the white people of Mississippi and is in itself a deep appreciation of the distinguished and useful career of Mr. MONTGOMERY. The circular which the Planters' Bank has issued concerning the sale of the bonds begins with the following paragraph. "As a testimonial of appreciation of the services rendered the South and Nation, by Isaiah T. Montgomery, through which both the white and Negro races have been benefited; and in order to assist Montgomery and his wife to pay off the encumbrances, (approximately $28,000) on their property, consisting of 786 acres of farm land and 50 town lots, including saw mill and gin, valued at $77,000, at Mound Bavon, Mississippi, I hereby subscribe for it, of the Certificates of the Four Hundred $100 First Mortgage, Six Per Cent, Twenty Year Serial Certificates of Indebtedness, interest payable semi-annually on the First Day of May and November, at the Planter's Bank of Clarkskale, Mississippi. Said Bank being Trustee and Registrar, and by its duly authorized officer, is hereby directed to issue said Certificate to my order on the day of. 1915. That paragraph is itself a fine testimonial. Also the Memphis VIEWS AND REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR. HAITI. The American Negro cannot but feel a keen interest in the fate of Haiti. We of this country are always more than anxious to see the Island Republic prosperous and maintaining a proper place among the nations. We long to see Haiti demonstrate to the world the capacity of the Negro for self-government and self-improvement, and each time that she suffers from revolution and lawlessness we experience a feeling of almost personal disappointment over it. Conditions in the Negro republic seem more deplorable at present than they have been for many years, and the country now faces a crisis, perhaps, the most important since its independence. Both the United States and France have landed forces and taken military control; just what the outcome will be depends upon the wisdom and real patriotism displayed by the leading Haitians. That the United States has landed forces in Haiti is no indication of designs upon the independence of that Republic. This Government has before now landed naval forces in various Latin-American countries under similar conditions. There is no doubt that this country would prefer to have Haiti manage its own affairs. The state in which Haiti now finds itself is discouraging; yet, in the face of what is going on in the older and richer Republic of Mexico, no blame for the breakdown of representative government can be placed on the Haitians because of their race. The trouble with Haiti is not a matter of race, it is a matter of political heritage. Haiti is a co-heir with Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and some of the South American countries, to the same political heritage. Some of the Latin-American states have reached the plane of stable government; so there is still abundant hope for Haiti. The island is rich in resources and the people are generally peaceable and industrious; what is needed is a wise and unselfish patriotism among Haitian leaders and a brotherly hand and sympathetic co-operation from the United States.

For several weeks the city of New York was in an unhealthy state of mind over his fate. This was due principally to the manner in which the local daily papers handle such cases. Column after column was printed giving in detail each effort pro and con, the sorrow of the grief-stricken wife was laid bare, even the minute workings of the mind of the deceased man were exhibited to the public: so that when the fateful hour arrived a great many people felt as though it was an intimate acquaintance being sent to his death. There was a time in England and this country when people could witness a public execution without receiving such an impression as Becker's death gave, but our civilization is becoming too high-keyed and too tense for such exhibitions. It seems certain that one of two things must soon be done in the interest of public morals and decency; either the newspapers must discontinue their present manner of handling notorious cases or capital punishment must be abolished. CONCERNS NOT EVEN THE SHERIFF Not satisfied with the fact that statistics show an increase in the number of lynchings for the first six months of the present year, some citizens of Texas a few days ago resolved to raise the percentage with respect to cruelty. A Negro who was accused of murder—mind you, not rape, was taken from the court and burned at the stake. If we remember correctly, Texas was the American pioneer in this form of inhuman savagery, but it seems that she wishes not only to be recorded as the pioneer, but hailed as the reviver of a practice that would shame cannibals. But of graver import than the action of the Texas mob is the apathy of the country; some of the newspapers did not even carry this incident-as an item of news, and we have yet to see an editorial protest against it. It does seem like hollow hypocrisy that this nation is now standing as the protector of human rights before the world, that it is ready to raise armies and navies to uphold the principle of international law which guarantees protection to non-combatants aboard merchant vessels; even when those vessels belong to belligerents; and yet, the fact that within its own borders one of its own citizens is taken from the custody of the lawfully constituted courts and burned at the stake by a mob will not call for the raising of even a sheriff's posse.

I could not resist father and tell him I would send him. Are our readers becoming weary of Georgia as a topic in these columns? We hope not; Georgia is a state about, which there is still much to be learned, and, therefore, about which we shall still have much to say. Just now Georgia seems to be making a specialty of tender-hearted governors. There was Governor Slaton, who could not bear to see Leo Frank suffer the penalty for the crime of which he was convicted. Now comes Governor Nat Harris trying, if possible, to outrival his predecessor in tenderheartedness. Governor Harris recently inspected the State farm at Milledgeville, and the sights he saw there appear to have affected him deeply. We have no doubt that there are sights at Milledgeville well calculated to arouse a feeling of sympathy, but it seems more than a coincidence that Georgia should have two governors in succession, in both of whom the thought of the law's penalty being carried out causes feelings of such extreme pain. This is all the stranger when we consider that such a disposition on the part of governors does not seem to be generally popular in that state, as witnessed by ex-Governor Slaton's exile. Hear the Governor's words after visiting one of the wards and listening to many appeals to him for liberation: "Can I turn down those poor unfortunate people? No. I shall lend my efforts to saving many of them, and so long as I am within the law and not defactore the ends of justice, I shall seek to alleviate their suffering and restore them to their families. No matter how long I may live, nor what may occur in the future I shall go to my grave hearing the wails of those unfortunates." It is not our purpose to criticize Governor Harris for his sympathy with the poor unfortunates he saw, but to point out the psychic similarity between him and Governor Slaton. Governor Slaton felt that he would be haunted for the rest of his life if he allowed the decree of the courts to be carried out on Frank. Governor Harris fears the same sort of fate if he does not liberate certain prisoners who appealed to him for clemency. It is our sincere hope that the quality of the Governor's mercy will not be affected by such a consideration as the color of the prisoners' skins. The account of the gubernatorial visit to Millidgeville goes on as follows: "The Governor, discussing the appeal of the little daughter of Edgar Stripling, a life-termer, who climbed on his knee and obtained his promise to pardon her father, said it was one of the most pathetic incidents of the day; "When that pretty little child climbed up on my knee," he said, "and begged me to give her papa, back to her. I could not resist.

As the man Stripling, his little daughter, and an elder daughter gathered about and wept for joy, I had to turn my face to keep the members of my party, from seeing my own tears, but I found that every man in the crowd likewise had tears in his eyes." Here is an official refutation of the belief that such things happen only in moving pictures. Here we have in actual life the story which actor folle have so long used as a tear-producer; life-termer, little daughter climbing on governor's knee and asking him to give back her papa, governor signing pardon, etc. However, we must confess that the story is more moving in the movies than in actual life; for in the case related above, we cannot get around the fact that the man Stripling has served only six or eight years, at most, of his life sentence if he has a daughter who is still at the "climbing on the knee" age. It appears that Georgia must soon either soften her penal laws and institutions or elect harder-hearted governors. We note that the Governor is to free Stripling and that he announced that he will free many others "who have already had sufficient punishment meted out to them." To this we say it is our sincere hope that his judgment as to "sufficient punishment" will not be influenced by any such consideration as the color of the prisoner. COMMENDING THE AGE The Neare's Race Price To the Editor of The Age: The writer has been a constant reader of Negro newspapers and periodicals for many years. Through this channel he keeps in touch with every phase of Negro life. Being a Negro himself, he feels eminently qualified to pass upon any idiosyncrasy of the Negro. Your editorial in a recent issue of The Age on the Negro's "Race Pride" struck a tender spot in my being, so much until I am ready to exclaim, "There is no balm in Gilead" that will arouse in the Negro such a thing as what that word means; if he did, then there would not exist in nearly every community in the United States (where the Negro is in any great numbers) such conditions as your correspondent found at Lovejoy, Ill., and am rank to them; that there are instances of communities thriving the United States wherein the same conditions exist as they do in Kansas. That article ought to be published in pamphlet form and placed in the hands of every school teacher and preacher in charge of a Negro school and church in the United States, to be read to the school children and older folks. If it failed to arouse race pride and do the race good, then we may as well shut up shop and go there. One hundred thousand copies would too many to have printed. I have the National Negro Business Men's League to stick a pin there and inwardly digest this proposition. HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH AND STATE JERSEY CITY, N. J.—The following oration on "Hypocrisy" was delivered at the commencement exercises at Bricks' Normal School, Bricks, N. C. by John B. Williams, who lives at 80 Boyd street, this city. Mr. Williams takes up the subject of hypocrisy in the church and in the station and treats it in a clear, incisive style that is illuminating Williams' card. HYYOCRISY. Sham Congratulations The boy graduates and the same hollow congratulation s are showered upon him. As a young man he goes out into the world, but hyperly follows him. He rises to success-animals and gives them congratulations him. Let do they honestly mean it? Are they glad to see him rise above them? Yes, they meant it, but if an opportunity presented itself, where they could pull him from his round in the "hudder of success" you would be surprised. If they were of their hearts. For, if the young man had proven a failure, his would be friends would have shown themselves in their true light. Though they might have offered him sympathy, though they might have expressed their sorrow in their hearts, they would be surely glad that he had prove a failure. Hyperly, not alone is confined to business, for there it is a lesser cell; but the place where it is doing its greatest harm and becoming more and more of form is in "Church," ltys the "Church" I mean religion. Hypocriay in the Church. Why is the attendance in the city churches so large? Why do the people give such large donations to the "Church"? Is it because of their love for God? Is it for the sake of doing good or are they catering for public opinion. Do they do things that are right because they are right? Do they abstain from sin, do they abstain from the use of God, or do they do right because of Heaven, do good because of the "Church" and abstain from sin because of Hell? Why do so many people claim to be Christians? Has the Christian faith such attractions as to cause gamblers to reform on the verge of death, murderers to send for a priest when sentenced to die and thieves to pray when sent to prison? Proscrity! It is not their heart, the heart! It is the "Bible" for the "Church" or for the "Christian faith". But it is because, they fear the here-after. The Christian faith has many at- tractions, but the American populace who advocate it, detract instead of adding to it as they are insincere. Their shouts of liberty and equality are hollow mockery; their prayers and hymns, sermons and thanksgiving—with all their religious parade and solemnity, are careless, rude and hypocrisy. This sin, hypocrisy, is used in the "Church" as a veil to cover up crimes tahd would dracce a nation of savages. The Bible says "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." How many of these supposed Christians do you see as a rule? Answer: Then, if this be Christianity, Christianity as interpreted by them is hypocrisy. White Ministers and the Negro Question. How many white ministers will preach on the "Negro Question" from their pulpits, on the subject, "All men are equal regardless of race or color"? Very few. Is the Bible against it? Is their conscience against it, or is it "oh"? Yet they go before colored audiences and to teach gladly that they are Negro progressing? Would it be wrong to call this hypocrisy? These men are teachers of the Gospel and should not they be immune from such falseness of the heart? It is the false doctrine, where preacher's actions do not tally with their words, that has caused such a falling off from the Christian faith. What we need in the "Church" is more education, not less Christianity. If a word comes from the heart it will reach the hearts of others. Inserols said "The speaker who is perfectly candid, who tells his honest thoughts not only honors himself, but compliments his audience." Yet Inserols was indifferent to the political thought in those words? Rather then to be an intellect and live up to such a truth than to be a Christian and belong to a "church" pervaded with hypocrisy. The nation did not uphold Inserols in his tenets, but it honored him; he did not deny that he did to him—for they admired those traits of an integrity in him that were lacking in them-lives. The White Presbyterians and Slavery. In 1863 the Presbyterian Church South passed two resolutions viz. (1) Resolved, that slavery is a divine institution, (2) Resolved, that God raised us from the earth and permeated, that institution, In the words of Inversley I say, that if they did that he never chose a more infamous instrument to carry out a more diabolical object. Need more be said on these resolutions? The church going people of the country had sunk as early as 1863. The government of this nation is 'run on the wheels of hypocrisy. The Constitution is interpreted by the government as the Bible is interpreted by the "church" for each is a piece of law. You have the Bible the Golden Rule, the Constitution says, "Encourage not upon the rights of others." It does the government live up to either of these rules? They call upon you in time of war to protect them. You go, and perhaps retur- alive. You have risked your life and the future welfare of your family for the government to protect you. You have your rights trampled upon you call on the government—which you helped to protect—to protect you. Will they do it? You are mobbed for committing a wrong in the case investigated? Even though you were innocent, it is just the same. You say that it is the government, you say that it is the government. No! Ladies and gentlemen, it is hypocrisy, pure and simple. Hypocrisy a Menace to the Country. It has now reached a point where hypocrisy is fast becoming a menace to your country. It must be stopped! Lincoln said, "as we the we, die" when he said, "as we the we, die" in his essay, you will be contaminated with it. Why was Lincoln such a great man? Was it because he was President, or was it because he was sincere in everything the did and said? He was not solemn, for solemnity is a mask of weakness. He was natural on his life and thought. He was a loftian. His logic shed light, for in its presence the obscure became luminous and the most complex and intricate metaphysical knots seem to untie themselves.Logic is the necessary product of intelligence and the gift of a clear head and a good heart. When Fred Douglass was called upon to speak on the American Independence one Fourth, of July, did he say what he wanted them to say? Did he praise them for having won their liberty, when they were holding his race in slavery? Did he thank them for asking him? Did he speak on such a man, not hypocrisy on their nart, asking a man to speak whose relatives, friends and race were held in bondage, on their freedom from oppression, independence and liberty? Why was Douglass a good orator? Was it because his voice was good or because he was simple in his style and speech? No! It was neither. It was because his clean, sincere, and natural. He did not what he thought he thought, but what he thought. He was absolutely devoid of all traces of this inexarable, inexpressible and seemingly inextringal stigma that has stagnated this nation—known as hypocrisy. Lincoln's Sincerity. In 1862 when Lincoln issued the Preamble to the Constitution, "In giving freedom to the slaves we Get rid of this sin before it gets rid of you and predominates over your life, your friends and your family relations. Give it up. he sublime, be natural; keep close to the grass, be natural; keep close to the trees, the clouds is too cold; be simple, too much polish suggests insincerity, be candid; for candor often deceives the deceitful; have intellect without arrogance; genius without pride, and religion without bigotry, without deceit, for deceit is insincerity and insincerity is hypocrisy. Study oratory, and learn to love the simple and natural. Learn to idealize the real, transfigure the common, make the inanimate throb and thrill; fill the gallery of imagination with statues and pictures, perfect in form and color; boarded by memory the muser, show the glittering coin to the spendthrift hope, enrich the brains, enable the heart and quicken the conscience, for between your lips then words will bud and blossom. There are many elocutionists but few orators—the orator speaks from memory—the brain—the heart, the unconscious, the your candor and freedom of restrain; by saying what you think and saying it in your own natural way; you will will or only make it possible, but popular to be natural. Be the enemy of mock solemnity, for solemnity is only a robe for hypocrisy. Preend not to be more r less or different from what you are, have the unconscious naturalness of natures' self. When you have allowed these principles to enter your heart, you will be in the cradle is from sin, and then you will learn to know others because you will know yourself. You will care nothing for popular quibblerous everything for everything for everything for independence. And the one sin that that has been the damnation to mankind, will have been obliterated.

The speech nominating the Rev. J. H. Brown, president of the Jeruel Academy, Athens, Ga., and for years secretary of the General State Baptist Convention of Georgia, was made ```markdown ``` by the Rev: Charles T. Walker, pastor of Tabernacle Institutional Baptist Church, this city, and a former pastor of Mt Olivet Baptist Church, New York City.

Aug. 4-There are 36,240 insane persons in the hospitals and private institutions of this, State, or 353.6 persons out of each 100,000 of popu- lation, according to figures made public to- day by Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo, under whose direction the recent census enumeration was taken. The 36,240 includes 1,360 patients at the two criminal hospitals; 980 in private institutions and 33,900 in the fourteen State hospitals.. The greatest increase is shown in the hospitals for the crimi- nal insane. In 1905 the two hospitals had but 903 patients as compared with 1,360 in 1915, an increase of 50.6 in the ten years. While the State's population has increased 27.05 per cent, in the past ten years, provision comes up to the estimated ten and a quarter million of Secretary of State Francis M Hugo, the increase in the insahe population of the fourteen State hospitals has amounted to 32.8 over the same period. The insane care for in the civil hospitals has increased proportionately much more rapidly than has the general population. The June census reveals 33,900 insane at the fourteen hospitals, an increase of 588 over June 1, 1914. The average annual increase during the past fifteen years is 834. 330 to Each 100,000 Population. Figuring ten and a quarter million as the state's population and excluding the criminal insane, there are now 330.7 insane persons for each 100,000 of population. In 1890 there were 249 insane to each 100,000 persons in the state; in 1900, 304, and in 1912, 329.7. The June census shows Manhattan hospital leading in number of inmates with 5,033; Central Islip second, with 4,964; Kings Park third, with 4,177. Of the total number in all fourteen hospitals approximately 56 per cent are of native birth and 44 per cent foreign born. Of the latter 20 per cent are aliens. Over 6,300 persons, not including 175 medical officers; were enumerated as being employed in taking care of the 33,900 insane in the fourteen hospitals. The percentage of aliens in the hospitals will show an increase this year as the result of the European war. But a comparatively few are being deported at the present time. The sum of $b.200,000 will be spent this year in the caring for the insane. The insane in each of the fourteen hospitals on June 1 follows: Utica. 1.604; Willard. 2.414; Hudson River. 3.343; Middletown. 2.050; Buffalo. 0.153; Binghamton. 2.365; St Lawrence. 2.111; Rochester. 1.577; Gowanda. 1.181; Mohansi. 65; Kings Park. 4.177; Long Island. 863; Manhattan. 5,033; Central Islip. 4,964 Daily average population. exclusive of paroles, for May. 1914. 31.06 Hospitals Overcrowded. The official capacity of the fourteen hospitals is 27,476. The recent census shows 6,424 patients over that amount. The overcrowding thus amounts to 23.4 per cent. While no new hospitals have been built since 1898 there is some relief in sight within the next two years through the one and a half million dollars appropriation for buildings at Yorktown, Westchester county. These will accommodate 5,000 patients. The state architect has practically completed plans for the institution. Small additions are being made this year to Ward's Island, Kings Park and the Binghamton state hospital. While the greatest number of aliens were enumerated as inmates of the hospitals adjacent to the metropolitan district, Buffalo was found with 690, Binghamton, 836, Utica, 181, Willard, 856, Gowanda, 357, Long Island, 83, and Mohanser, 21. It costs $208.91 a year for each inmate so that in taking care of the 9,000 aliens the state is now spending about $2,000-000 a year Statistical information shows that the average hospital life of the alien insane is ten years. Since 1905 the state deported 5,689 of its insane aliens, a number large enough to fill one hospital. In the fact that twenty-six per cent of foreigners entering at the port of New York remain in the state, it becomes apparent that New York is caring for more alien insane than any other state in the union Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 3 — Charged with brutally assaulting and then murdering Irene Hawkins, a colored girl employed as a chamber maid in the Savoy Hotel Seventh avenue, N. F. J. Seymour, purporting to be a traveling man from Chicago. Ill. stopping at that hostelry, is being held by Murder Officers Jay Newsum and George Carter in bonds of $2,500. Sunday afternoon, July 25, the girl was seen in the room occupied by carmer where she was performing her duties as chambermaid. Twenty minutes later the girl's body was discovered, brushed and mangled, in the alleyway directly underneath the window of the room occupied by Seymour. Patrolman Carney found Seymour at the station just about to board a train for Chicago, and put him under arrest. The coroner started an investigation on Monday and on Tuesday his jury returned a verdict charcoun Sevmour with violating the girl and then murdering her. Ada Stokes, another maid at the hotel, testified that Sevmour a few days earlier, had attempted to keep her in the room with burt but that she refused, and that she barely escaped from the room before he could succeed in looking the door on her. After that she took pairs to see that the man was absent from the room before she entered it. The evidence showed that Sevmour had evidently heaten and assaulted the girl before throwing her from the window. FLORENCE. S. C. Florence, S. C.
