Dr. Moton was present at the invitation of Governor Hugh M. Dorsay, and he was one of the representatives of the Southern Sociological Congress. In his address Dr. Moton strongly denounced mob violence, lynching and all forms of lawlessness in which colored people were the sufferers. He referred at length to Jim Crow cars, relating some of his own experiences in traveling, and strongly argued that some effort should be made to improve traveling accommodations for the colored people. He referred also to the migration of colored people, stating that it was his observation and his belief that there was more unrest among the colored people at present than ever before, and this felt was due to the lynching and other forms of lawlessness. "White people," he said, "make the laws, interpret the laws and execute the laws, and there is no danger or likelihood that any criminal colored man will escape punishment that he might deserve when once he is carried into the court." Among the prominent white people present at the Conference were Governor Dorsey, Governor Cooper of South Carolina, Governor Roberts of Tennessee, Governor Bickett of North Carolina, Dr. L. E. McCulloch, secretary of the Southern Sociological Congress, and W. Woods White of Atlanta. Among the colored people present were Dr. R. R. Wright of Savannah, J. H. Hubert of Orangeburg, S. C. Dr. W.

HOPE DAY'S DRIVE FOR 20,000 MEMBERS The Membership Drive which has been inaugurated by Hope Day Nursery for Colored Children, 35 West 133d street, has for its aim the building up an auxiliary of 2,000 members who will pay one dollar a year each. The money is needed to equip the nursery up to modern standards, to establish a kindergarten and secure several trained workers. Hope Day Nursery is helping to solve the problem of mothers who are committed to work daily with the alternative of leaving their children locked in their homes exposed to fire or other dangers or committed to the care of persons who frequently are irresponsible and who charge unreasonable sums for indifferent service. Many demands are made upon the Nursery which it is unable to meet because it lacks the funds for prope, equipment and maintenance. The Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's Church, is chairman of the membership drive committee, and Dr. Chas. H. Roberts, Alderman-elect, is treasurer. Hom. Charles W. Anderson, who was treasurer of the last Hope Day Nursery drive, was unable to serve again because of pressing political obligations, but is giving the movement his hearty support. The first $100 secured for the drive came through Mr. Anderson. TO CORRESPONDENTS For Christmas and New Year's weeka, all correspondence must be in The Age Office not later than MONDAY.

The presiding officer, Dr. Harry L.

"A meeting of the colored chiropodists was held on Tuesday evening, at which the Counselor Smith was present, and the decision of Justice Phillon was received. Plans have been made by the doctors to have their right to membership in the Pedic Society chartered, and the matter will be carried before that body's next regular meeting, which is scheduled for January 1931. PRICE FIVE CENTS Great Meeting for Blue Circle at Historic Brooklyn Church One of the most interesting meetings in the history of the Circle for Negro Relief was that held on Sunday evening, December 14, in historic old Plymouth Church, Orange street, between Henry and Hicks streets, Brooklyn, the church pastored for many years by Henry Ward Beecher, and pastored now by a man who is eminently fitted to carry on the work of his great predecessor, the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis. The program for this meeting was arranged by Charles Hanson Towne editor of McClure's magazine, himself a writer and poet of renown. Mr. Towne, whose interest in the work of the Blue Circle had been enlisted by Harrison Rhodes, its president, prominent and successful playwright and author, had arranged a program for the evening, the participants in which would form a distinguished section in the American literary "Who's Who." Dr. Hillis presided as master of ceremonies, and after an intensely interesting recital of some of the facts concerning Plymouth Church and its anti-slavery work, he introduced Mr. Rhode president of the Circle tor Negro Relief. Briefly the Circle president spoke of the work of the Circle, emphasizing that the life of its preeminent figures was that the work was being carried on by the colored people themselves. The point of self-help wasattessed by him as one of the principal reasons why help should be given by those most able. Towne Investigated Circle. In closing he presented Mrs. Eminah Rochon Bontte, executive secretary of the Circle, who amplified upon the relief work being done, and told partici- pate workers that the Circle is one of the lot nurseries under supervision of the Circle. Unity in various places. Following the secretary's address, Hilliard presents Charles Hanson Towne. Mr. Towne said that he had been asked to act as alumner by his friend, Lt. E. Commsby Dawson, a British soldier, in the matter of the distribution of certain funds arising from Lt. Dawson's lecture tour in this country, the funds to be devoted entirely to relief work among returned American soldiers. Through Mr. Rhodes he learned of the Blue Circle, and a strict and impartial investigation advised him as to the value of the work and as to the ability and reliability of the persons engaged in the work. Mr. Towne original poem written by Theodora Garrison especially for this meeting, entitled "Ant the Name of One Angel was Mercy," and second, two little poems written by himself and published in his little book called "City Flashes," the one being "Around the Corner," and the other "The Messenger Boy." One of the most attractive features of the evening came at this point, for Dr. Hillis then called on Mrs. Marie Peak Johnson to sing, with Harry T. Burleigh playing her accompaniment, Mrs. Johnson sang two of Mrs. Burleighs compositions. The first number was "The Victor," dedicated to the late James Reese Europe on his return from France at the head of the 90th Regimental band, and sang by Mr. Burleigh for the first time shortly after at Lt. Europe's funeral. The second number was Burleigh's arrangement of the old Negro publisher song, "Rubber of Jordan," and in singing these two songs Mrs. Johnson gave a most notable performance. Her sense held the large audience under a spell of enjoyment, and she sang with a deep understanding and sympathy. Most unusual for a church audience on a Sunday evening, there was an insistent demand that she sing again. She was compelled to acknowledge the continuous applause with several bows, but she did not sing again. --- Theodore Roosevelt's Sister Mrs. Douglas Robinson (Corinne Roosevelt), dister to the late Theodore Roosevelt, was next introduced, and she gave extracts from letters and speeches made at various times by her brother in which he gave expression to his feelings as regarded justice and a square deal for the Negro. She read, in closing, her poem, originally published in Scrubbers, "The Path that Leads Nowhere." The famous short sto. writer and novelist, Miss Edna Ferber, author of the Mrs. McChesney" stories, read the first story she wrote, "The Homely Home," and it was a delighted audience that followed the fortunes of the fat girl. As a climax, Edwin Markham, who wrote "The Man With a Hoe" was introduced, and he read his poem on "Abraham Lincoln." For the offertory Mrs. Bessie Booth Dodge, soprano, and Mrs. Hein Shearman Gue, contralto, of Plymouth choir, sang Cesar Franck's "The, sir, by the Manger," with Bruno Hulin, organist. While this was being sung the ushers passed the collection plates, and an offering was taken for the work of the Circle. At the conclusion of the service the visitors were invited to view the interesting collection of pictures and historical reliefs which are on exhibition in a rear room. One of the most interesting is that of a slave girl, with the bill of sale which was received by the church when it bought and released the original of the picture from bondage. COL. CHARLES YOUNG AT ST. MARKS CHURCH On Sunday afternoon, December 14, at St. Mark's M. L. Church, West St. Mary, the Rev. W. H. Brooks, pastor, a splendid meeting was held under appraises of the National Urban League, E. K. Jones, executive secretary. The address of the occasion was made by Col. Charles Young of the United States Army, recently appointed military attaché to the American Embassy at Montreal, Liberia. Addresses were made by Mr. Jones, who outlined the work of the League, A. L. Jackson, secretary of social work, and Col. Wm. J. Scheffelm of the 15th New York Guard. Col. Young discussed the need of the race in this period of reconstruction and readiment. He referred, to an invitation he received to address a meeting in Washington called to ask Congress to erect a memorial to the Negro soldier dead.

CHILDREN TO SHARE CHRISTMAS CARNIVAL The National Urban League, assisted by the New York, Brooklyn and New Jersey Urban Leagues, is taking part in the carnival and exposition of Public Spirited Activities of New York to be held at Grand Central Palace, December 22 to 29 inclusive. The League's booth, situated on the left balcony overlooking the Christmas tree below, will be occupied throughout the day and evening by League representatives, who will dispense the literature of the League's various branches and answer questions on its work. There will be a monster Christmas tree with presents for every child that comes during the entire week of the carnival. The League has 400 twenties-count tickets at its disposal, each of which admits one grown person and two children, and they will be free to persons with children who cannot afford to buy them. The League plans that that many colored children may spend an afternoon playing the piano, rolling the joints, and the merry-go-round, visiting the Punch and Judy show and seeing the movies, and the many other attractions offered.

XMAS GIFT FOR URBAN LEAGUE In a little leaflet issued by the Urban League an appeal is made for contributions of a dollar. The leaflet gives much information about the League's activities, and while there are many drives going on for membership, attention is called to the fact that every family interested in improving the conditions under which people work, should be willing to contribute just one dollar as a Christmas gift to this organization, which has grown from a small organization nine years ago to a national organization with active offices in thirty-two cities. The leaflet tells on eleven departments conducted by the New York office, located at 2903 Seventh avenue. The drive now on will reach its climax by the end of the coming week, and it is hoped that everybody will contribute just one dollar to help make up the amount hoped for. The campaign committee includes such prominent men and women as Dr. W. H. Brooks, Dr. A. C. Powell, Dr. G. H. Sims, Dr. W. W. Brown, Dr. J. W. Brown, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Mrs. E. Williams, Mrs. Grace Naid, Mrs. A. S. Reed, Mrs. Therasa Rose, Miss Mayelle McBlow, Fred R. Moore, Withdrew H. Smith, A. S. Howell, Thos. Grigley and Charles Bean. J. H. Hulbert is executive secretary of the local Urban League, and R. T. Givens is industrial secretary. The campaign is under direction of Mr. Givens. TO RAISE $2,000,000 Fisk University, of Nashville, Tennessee, the largest privately endowed institution for the education of Negroes in America, will be enriched by $2,000,000 if the drive in its interest, started in New York City, here reaches a successful conclusion. At a banquet given at the Hotel Actor, Gos. A. H. Roberts of Tennessee, Abraham Flexner of the General Education Board and Chancellor J. H. Kirkland of Vanderbilt University, all talked in support of the drive, the object of which the purpose is the broadening of the work of the university. Gos. Roberts declared that the education of Negroes for leadership among their own people was the greatest need of the day. Negroes, he said, are naturally religious and patriotic and can be made into the most valuable citizens if given an opportunity to find proper leadership among themselves. "FRAME-UPS" PRACTICED IN PARTS OF SOUTH GALVESTON, Tex. — The South is full of charges crimes "framed up" against the Negroes in the city, artfully committed by the police in an effort of injustice. The sad and most dangerous feature of this proceeding is that there is no desire to investigate when a charge is made, no matter how improbable it may be, but the cry is raised to lynch the accused and the mob lust breaks home. Not so long ago in Central Texas, a Negro was riding along a farm road, and a white man riding back at it there was also a white man riding back at him just ahead of him and when the colored man got just in front of a baited farm house, a white girl on the front porch screamed and hallowed "rage." The two men had gotten together when they had gone about five miles, and a mob had overtaken them, looking for the colored man. The said THE NEW YORK AGE. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1919. they wanted the "nigger" who raped that white girl. The white man said: "Gentlemen, allow me to tell you that this man was only fifteen feet behind me, when that girl was nallowing. He did not stop, nor did he get off his horse. You cannot get this man, as he is innocent, and his blood shall not be on me." At this the mob objected to her leavening, but this girl had already been the cause of the lynching of four other colored men by her false outcries. In Bay City, some white men went to the house or a returned overseas colored soldier, and requested him to go with them to Wharton in their automobile. He agreed to do so, and when they had reached a point about a mile from his hometown they inquired whether or not he went with French girls when in France. His reply was that he did, as there were no other kind of girls there. By the time they had met a waiting man, this man was beaten almost to death and left for dead. The colored man's wife finding him in this condition, carried him to Houston for medical treatment. UTOPIA CHRISTMAS DANCE.

A Negro in the uniform of a soldier waited at the corner for a car. On boarding the car (right at the edge of this crowd), he found the conductor, ready for a row, saying things that compelled him to challenge the conductor to get off the car and repeat. There was a policeman on horseback and other officers also on the spot, and the Negro saw them. Catch the nigger?" went up cries. The Negro stepped deftly into a clear space with his right hand on his breast, and he stepped forward. He was ready for action, although practically alone in the middle of the street. He wanted for some one to start toward him. No one start! He back stepped a short distance at then turned his face the way he was going. As he did so, voices being him erred "Stop the nigger! stop the nigger!" and there gathered before him a crowd of white boys and men at the next corner. Then out came a shining automaton revolver from his breast, which raised so that his would-be obstruc-tors could see it. He waved for a clear field through which to pass, he waved to the right, the right strutmenists fell away and as he waved to the left, the left dared to safety. Policemen behind him had been following with the strutmenus that the Negro was not shapped without risk to the strutmenus that at the corner and the Negro went down without being further involved.

K. Loviselle at the big reception given him by the congregation of Zion M. E. Witch, of only have his own people shown their appreciation of his ministry, but among all classes in which Dr. Forsythe has mingled during his five years and a half of work here there have been words of deepest regret at the necessity of his severing his connection with the church here. The church was packed not only with his devoted followers, but with many representatives from other churches who came to bid the popular pastor farewell and to spend time in his field of service. He with his family, was the recipient of many substantial tokens of record, among which was a well-stocked purse from the members of the congregation, presented by Mrs. Maria Freeman. The Odd Fellows Lodge was out in force, and the secretary, Myron Baker, presented Dr Forsythe, a brother Odd Fellow, with a gold watch, chain and charm, his initials being on one side of the charm and the Odd Fellows emblem on the other. The church was decorated by the women of the congregation, and the fuge suit of that had been prepared by these same loving hands was a genuine token of the appreciation in which their departing pastor is held. This supper consisted of chicken salad, jellies, biscuits, coffee, ice cream and cakes. NATURAL & TECHNICAL COLLEGE INSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. OPEN ALL YEAR FORM BEGINS SEPTEMBER 1, 1919.

THE WANING YEAR With the last days of 1919 comes the realization of another year passing into history, with its losses and gains, its sorrows and joys, its defeats and its victories. Happy is the individual or the group, who in summing up the year can balance the account. As far as the Negro in America is concerned, it is something to the credit of the face that it has maintained a sanity of conduct and a hopeful outlook for the future in the face of many disappointments and discouragements. The great majority of the race have devoted themselves to material development along the gradually widening avenues of industry. A better feeling in labor circles, combined with opening of union doors, has contributed to this result. Racial cooperation has grown along industrial lines, as manifested by the development of business enterprises and the purchase of property. Real estate holdings are multiplying and new business enterprises are starting in many localities. With this development of capitalism, albeit in incipient stages, among the race, bolstemish is beaten before it gets a fair start. The Negro is safe and sane, it allowed to develop along natural lines of growth, with a square deal given him. Let us hope that the doctrine of the square deal will spread with redoubled activity in the coming year. Considerable progress was made along this line in 1919, especially in the outspoken utterances of some white Southerners, and more may be looked for in the future. GOOD STEWARDS Saint Peter in his general epistle to the strangers, scattered throughout Pontus, Gallata, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, exhorted his readers to minister to one another, as good steward of the mankind grace of God. Peter was one of the most human of the Apostles, both in his failings and in his strength. His intimate knowledge of human nature is as true to life to-day as it was nineteen centuries ago. His warnings are just as timely. Listen to the practical nature of the things he enjoined in his first epistle: "Be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer." "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves, for charity shall cover the multitude of sane. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. "As every man half receives the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. "If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability, which God gives." Good stewards are the great need of the church to-day. The qualities attributed to them by Saint Peter, when translated into the shibboleth of modern efficiency, will be found to denote those most required for the reconstruction work now needed to be done. These qualities of sobriety and caution, charity and hospitality, efficiency in service, vagueness of speech and godliness in administration are needed both in the pulpit and in the pew. Especially are these qualities, required in the general councils of those denominations, which, like the Methodists, meet every four years for the planning of church policies, the election of bishops and other general officers. It is therefore incumbent that the delegates elected to these general conferences should be men of high character and constructive ability. They should be men of broad views and sufficiently foreseen to plan for the future of the denomination. The men chosen for the high positions of bishop and the like should be chosen on the ground of merit and fitness, with an eye single to furthering the welfare of the denomination. In the interest of future development and growth, provision should be made for the fostering of the small churches among the denomination. These struggling organizations, often require a greater degree of executive ability and management to encourage their growth, than the more firmly-established institution. Men of the highest ability and character are needed to bring them, to the highest point of development. Such pastors should be provided to nurse these budding growths to their fruitage. As the manifold grace of the Almighty is to he manifested through the ministration of the good stewards, the faithful of all denominations might study the admonitions of Saint Peter to good effect. PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS The designation of Chicago as the place for holding the next Republican National Convention, and June 8 as the date, has given renewed impetus to the launching of Presidential booms. All sections of the country are represented in this political game and all classes of citizens are properly manifesting an interest in the movements of the principals and their managers. A noteworthy indication of the interest felt by colored voters is the action of the Coolidge Republican Club of Massachusetts, composed of Negro voters from all over the State, who unanimously endorsed Governor Coolidge as their choice for the Presidential nomination. The Governor has grown largely in national recognition, because of the courageous and consistent stand he took in the Boston police strike, against yielding to the demands of the men who deserted their posts and left the city the prey to lawlessness. By his determined attitude, he became at once the exponent of the principles of law and order. But there are other Richmonds in the field and the woods are also full of them. To turn from the extreme East to the Western Coast, we find a former Governor, Senator Hiram Johnson of California, finging his sombrero into the ring in true Rooseveltian fashion, and seeking to revive the somewhat dashed hopes of the former Progressives. Other State executives who loom up as Presidential possibilities are Governors Lowden of Illinois and Sprowl of Pennsylvania, while the Senatorial timber regarded as seasoned and sound includes Senators Pointexter of Washington, Harding of Ohio, Watson of Indiana, and various others. The movement to further the candidacy of Major General Leonard Wood has so far progressed beyond all others in the matter of organization and systematic worth accomplished, but there has not yet appeared any strong popular response to the note of "the man who was kept at home." The action of the South Dakota Republicans in bringing the General to the fore as a candidate in the primaries, has also had a boomerang effect, in view of the doubt expressed as to the advisability of his acceptance so early in the campaign. New York has failed as yet to present any favorite son on the Republican side. The talk of former Justice Hughes seems to have subsided, and no other candidate has risen to take his place. Former Governor Whitman, who two years ago seemed in the running, is no more heard of, an example of the nickness of popular favor. However, on the Democratic side, James W. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany, has fallen heir to a Presidential boom, recently attributed to the former Secretary of the Treasury, W. M. McAdoo. How substantial its character may be, tone will show. While the launching of Presidential booms may seem to border on the verge of the visionary, it is really a very practical industry. Considerable expense is incurred in putting before the country the record and the claims to availability of each candidate, and in stimulating a popular response to such appeals. Of course a great deal of this work is performed by the newspaper, without cost to the candidates, but in some cases expert a collectors of public opinion are needed to quicken the action, and such skill comes high. Then the boom enlights the American public as to the number of really great men the country is capable of containing and relieves all apprehension as to the need of the Presidential session lapping, for lack of a qualified candidate. Let the boomers boom! The money spent for Negro newspapers could not be better invested by Negro men and women who desire information about race advancement - Portsmouth (Va.) Vigil. A sound truth squarely stated. The town of Mount Payou, Mass., the pioneer Negro municipality, has voted to issue $10000 in bonds for the erection of a public school. Another proof of the value put upon education by the tax. Every pulpit in Norfolk and Portsmouth sounded the warning to the colored voters of Virginia to play their poll tax, in order to qualify to vote. This shows that the preachers, at least are awake to the issues at stake. We hope the laymen, as well, rose to their responsibilities. --- "A boon to business, religion, and inter-ternal organizations," is the glowing welcome given to a newly-organized 510,000 corporation for furnishing ice cream, by the Los Angeles California hagle. We suppose the religious and fraternal organizations come in as the ultimate consumers of the commodity. The village of Robbins, near Chicago, is credited with a population of 1,000,98 per cent, being colored. A Negro is Mayor and the community has elections, taxes and town hall, though but one school. A moving-picture theatre and other attractions are needed for the young people. The village is cited as an example of voluntary segregation, though no discrimination is practised. The Chattanooga Defender, in discussing the purchase of a school site, which it pronounces undesirable, takes a fling at the minister in politics. It says: "We have two or more ministers that are indeed too prominently connected with politics in the city to do much real Christian work. You can hardly visit the municipal building without finding them three, and for what—they are trying to sur up something for themselves. Hardly a charitable view to take of the activities of the brethren." THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1919. VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Walden Johnson, Contributing Editor REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ON SEDITION AMONG NEGROES We have a copy of the report of the Department of Justice on "Radicalism and Sedition Among the Negroes as Reflected in Their Publications." The report occupies twenty-seven pages of the report of the investigation against "Persons Advising Anarchy, Sedition, and the Forcible Overthrow of the Government." The pages devoted to the Negro come at the end of the report; and, judging from what was the evident purpose of the report, these pages make the most ludicrous anticlimax that could be imagined. We don't know how good a case the report makes out against the people discussed in the first one hundred and sixty pages, for we have not yet had the time to read that portion; but we are prepared to say that if it doesn't make but a better case than it makes out against the Negro, the Department of Justice has wasted a good deal of time and a considerable amount of Uncle Sam's cash. If any jury of fair-minded persons can find in the twenty-seven pages devoted to the Negro anything which justifies those pages being made a part of a report against "persons advising anarchy, sedition, and the forcible overthrow of the Government," the writer will agree to eat a bundle of these reports without taking water. Whoever got out the report filled it with extracts of both prose and poetry from the radical Negro press. But what do all of these extracts amount to when boiled down? They amount to a demand not for anarchy, not for the overthrow of the Government, but to a demand for the strict and impartial enforcement of law, and to an expression of the determination of the Negro to defend himself when and where the law refuses or fails to protect him against the mob. Indeed, the main note running through all the quotations from the Negro publications mentioned in the report is a demand for law and order, but law and order based on the recognition of the equal rights of every American citizen. Of course, the chief thing in these radical periodicals on which the accusing finger rests is the open or implied endorsement of the action of Negroes who in the recent "race riots" defended themselves and protected their homes against the mobs because the law refused or failed to protect them. Well, what about it? Can any sane man say that these Negroes did not act within their legal and moral rights? More than that, can any sane man say that these Negroes did not perform what was their obvious duty? Will any white man say that white men would not have been expected to act likewise under like conditions? Let those who are holding up their hands in holy horror at the mere thought of lawlessness on the part of Negroes stop and consider that in not one of these outbreaks were Negroes the original aggressor. All of the "race riots" which occurred last summer were started by lawless white men. Then let the holy horror against lawlessness be directed against white inbests and not against Negroes defending their lives and their homes when the law shows it cut unable or unwilling to do so. There are gentle friends of the Negro who greatly deplore any indication on his part to oppose with physical force mob violence and community lawlessness. They feel that it will arouse still more bitter sentiment against himself, and what is worse, a great many of him might get killed, for he is so far outnumbered. These friends should not expect the Negro to submit to wholesale murder for the sake of increasing his reputation for gentleness and patience; if they do, they are expecting too much from the present-day Negro. As for getting killed—that does not strike much terror to the heart of the Negro now, thousands of Negroes died in France for what has been for them a dream, it not a lie, so the thought of dying in defence of their own lives and property does not impart any great dreary, they reason that if they are threatened with death by wholesale murder, it is better to meet it by facing the mob than to meet it by being shot in the back while running or by having their houses burned down over their heads. Let a little of this investigation into lawlessness and this indignation against lawlessness be directed against the degenerate, blood-lusting white men who make up the mobs to whom the lynching and murdering of Negroes is a pastime. Roman holiday sport. If the Department of Justice wants to do a job of investigating worth doing, let it not stop at the open and just discontent expressed in the Negro press over the wrongs and injustices suffered by black American citizens; let it get at the grounds and reason for that discontent. And if it wants any assistance on the job, the Negro press will gladly give it. As it is! the Department has done only about one-third of what it ought to do. The third that it has done makes out no case of "sedition" against the Negro; it simply shows that the Negro has just grounds for complaint at his treatment in this country, and has sense enough to know it and sense enough to say it in a clear, intelligent and forcible way. Indeed, it seems that this latter is what shocks the writer of the report more than anything else. He is a man who has evidently, like many others, been asleep on the Negro, he has been thinking of the Negro in terms of twenty or thirty year ago; all at once he is called on to read a number of Negro publications, and he is amazed, overwhelmed, dumbfounded, to find that the Negro knows what he want, knows what he is to reproduce its statement of principle. The statement is as others him most is the fact that these articles are written by Negroes who know how to use the English language. But, after all, this report of the Department of Justice is not so bad. So far as we know, it is the most effective step yet taken to let the whole country know just what the Negro is discontented about, to let it know what the Negro of today is thinking. The American Negro could wish for nothing better than that the Department of Justice would put a copy of this report in the hands of every man, woman and child in the United States. A USEFUL ORGANIZATION There is in Washington an organization which does not make much, noise and is not very well known outside of that city, but which is doing an important work in a quiet and effective way. This organization is known as "The Correspondents' Club." Perhaps the best way in which to give an idea of its purpose will be to reproduce its statement of principles. The statement is as follows: "Holding ourselves bound together by a common impulse to resent and resist all efforts in public or private, by speech or writings, to misrepresent, defame or discredit our race; we have organized "The Correspondents' Club" in order the more effectively to carry out the purposes above stated. "And it is also our purpose to note with equal promptness every favorable comment upon the achievements or character of our race, every generous defense of our rights, and every helpful suggestion for our guidance. "We propose to accomplish our object through letters addressed to individuals, organizations and publications, protesting with firmness against wrongs, and appreciating with gratitude what appears in our favor." "We hold ourselves bound by considerations of a common interest to keep ourselves informed on the history of our race, on our achievements and besetments, and to read what is said of us by others, so that we may thereby be prepared with accurate information to take prompt defense against any or all misrepresentations. "It will be our purpose not only to carry on this work ourselves, but to inspire others of like mind to do the same thing, with a view to bringing as many as possible, here and elsewhere, within the general plan of our operation. "Finally, it will be our purpose to collect accurate statistics of the record made by our race in every line of worthy endeavor, and to be prepared to furnish these facts promptly whenever needed in our defense. "The ultimate result of the successful operation of the plan above outlined will be to unite the intelligent element of our race in the common project equally to resent misrepresentation by our enemies and to appreciate commendation by our friends." The Club meets once a month, and at every meeting each member makes a report on the letters and articles he has written during the month. The meetings are held in rotation, according to alphabetical order, at the houses of the various members, and are concluded with a little supper, which allows good opportunity for general discussion. It does not take a second thought to realize what a splendid thing it would be to have a club of this kind in every community in the country. Not only in the newspapers and magazines of the South, but of the North and West as well there are constantly appearing articles which make erroneous and unjust statements about the Negro and his cause; these statements should never be allowed to go unchallenged and unanswered; but the most of them will go unchallenged and unanswered unless there are persons making it their special business to keep on the lookout for these attacks and reply to them. There are also articles which appear speaking for fair play and justice to the race; these as well as the articles of the opposite kind should be answered. Nothing is more pleasing to editors than to receive letters of appreciation for something they have published. It will greatly encourage the editor of any periodical to continue to publish articles fair to the Negro if he receives letters of appreciation from a number of people in the community when he does publish such articles. It is needless to say that a Correspondents' Club should be made up as largely as possible of people who can write clear and correct English, who like to write, and who keep themselves informed on all matters pertaining to the race. This is necessary, because a poor reply might be worse than no reply at all. This is the age of propaganda, propaganda through publicity. One of the most effective means the Negro can use in his fight is propaganda of this sort. He should use it to the utmost to change and form public opinion regarding himself. We can think of no quicker, simpler and cheaper method of doing this than through Correspondents' Clubs. The writer had the pleasure of attending recently a meeting of the Club in Washington. The reports made by the members of what they had done during the month made far more interesting proceedings than what one hears in the average "literary society." The subjects were all so live; and in addition, those taking part were getting the best sort of literary training. They were not merely reading what somebody else had written, nor were they writing on some already dead and hackneyed literary subject; they were improving and developing their own literary ability by handling a great, vital question which is involved in the making of history to-day. The little social feature at the end added to the zest of the meeting. We should like to see a Correspondents' Club organized in every city and town in the United States. Discussing the waterfront situation during the strike of the union stewedores, the Oakland, Cal., Sunshine, said: "When organized labor in truth and indeed recognizes colored men as loyal Americans, and gives them an equal chance to work that is given to foreign born men, who cannot speak nor write, in many cases, a single word in English, then the hue and cry of strikebreakers and scabs will cease to be hurled at colored men who are ever ready to work, because they will be a part of the union. But as long as the unions shut the doors in their faces, they will certainly go in when the employers will open the doors. In the present case, our only blame that we lay to these colored stewedores is the foolish way they are handling their hard earned money—letting the professional crap shooter have it." There is a large amount of truth in this analysis of the situation, and the sooner the heads of organized labor recognize it the better. As for the professional gambler, they will soon put the money won in circulation again. --- The enterprise exhibited by our West Indian brethren in Harlem in the development of business ventures and the acquisition of real estate is highly commendable. The opening of a bank and several cent store a bakery and several groceries are indications of what may be exposed of them in this fruittful field. The gold mine still exists in Harlem and paying ore awaits the efforts of the extract and industrial pioneers. . A news dispatch from Anderson, S.C. relates how three unknown white men in a Ford automobile shot four times into a "group of Negroes standing on the corner." Owing to bad marksmanship or good fortune, the only damage done was to the uff of the trousers of one of the standing group. However, the occurrence is going to make "standing on the corner" a less popular diversion in one town at least. --- Lady Astor, who is the first woman member of the British Parliament, voted against the government in favor of giving the suffrage to the women of India. According to this indication, if Lady Astor represented her native state of Virginia in the United States Congress she would vote in favor of suffrage for the women of Virginia, colored as well as white. An indication that Germany is turning its ways to peaceful pursuits is the announcement that the famous Krupp's works at Lassen are manufacturing locomotives. Heretofore this establishment has devoted itself solely to the making of "Big Berthas" and other war machines. A New York judge has decided that an engagement ring is not an unconditional gift, but must be returned when the engagement is broken. In other words the ring follows the mitten. The colored papers of, Baltimore have called upon the Department of Justice to call the names of those journals it would damn as radicals. They further claim that they are but advocating the rights guaranteed to all citizens by the Constitution of the United States. But that may constitute "radicalism" in the eyes of the Department, even though the head of it comes from Pennsylvania. A WARNING TO FARMERS. I am of the opinion that it is very necessary that we should call the farmers' attention so as very serious, often which he must face crimes or crimes. There is grave danger of his getting drunk with the great prosperity now being realized on the farm. If so, we would most likely overlook the fundamental principles that underlie successful marvellous prosperity on the farm. Cotton at forty cents per pound tobacco cighly and ninety cents and even one dollar per pound. What with naturally be the inclination of most Tamil people to cultivation of cotton and tobacco, and to grow these crops at the expense of food crops. What does that mean? A great loss and in some cases complete failure. I do not mean to discourage the manhood of cotton or tobacco, but I do mean to say that these useful other may be grown, the greatest profit cannot be realized from a farmer growing money crops at the expense of food. In order to reap the greatest possible cultural prosperity now, we must land I would recommend the adoption of the following. First, let every former resale that we will not buy a single thing that he will buy, give each one one and resolve that he will not buy anything for which he cannot pay cash. Third, let them resolve to buy only through co-operative associations. If these principles are adopted the firm can produce safe life. Now, in the third case the firm can produce their food a great deal cheaper than they can buy it at present prices. Second, they can save from fifty to seventy-five percent by paying the next cash prices are only possible through co-operative organization. The trouble is this, whatever the farmer buys on time and during this great period of prosperity, he must set the high price of the property for same and the same period of prosperity, what may happen. Well, cotton should drop from forty cents to twelve and fifteen cents again and to take from ninety cents and one dollar to twenty-five and thirty and would become of the same fellow who paid the same series, fertilizer, and other supplies purchased at the time of these high prices with money obtained at the latter prices. In my opinion, he would love about like a man on a train in a head-on collision, or a fellow who had a car accident, or a great cow war, am not trying to a great war. I am not a pessimist, but an optimist. But at the same time I realize that this "awful day," will surely come and I wonder who will be able to stand. The man who is caught in a prosperous time and forced to pay under such unfavorable circumstances will do well to escape total rule. So let the farmer make nay while the sun is shining, may not be seen gathering on the disarray in his arm he strike while the iron is hot for it may never be an ad of any more. The philosophy of my whole theme is this: if this great wave of prosperity should continue, the above is the most economic course to take. If the crush of prosperity be unquestionably end, the farmer would be unquestionably end. Then let our motto be, "Battery First." It is alright to buy automobiles after you shall have purchased and equipped a good farm and home. You had bet- ter not mortgage the land paid for to buy more during these uncertain times. Better be careful about leading up with heavy financial responsibilities unless you are sure to see your way clearly. Figure closely, cautiously, and act with great discretion; in other words, be sure you are safe and then go ahead. Make a safe landing under such conditions be safe for all time to come. But the fellow who wrecks his ships on this great sea of prosperity will hardly be able to redeem his boat or even save himself. If things are bought under the influence of the present dollar, you worth about 381.5 cents, what will be followed, who might have to pay that debt when will be worth 100 cents? The bottom in most cases will drop out. JOHN D. WRAY. Farm Makers' Club Agent. A. and T. College, Greenboro, N. C. SHOULD NEGROES JOIN LEGION? The Grand Army of Americas 1720 Thirteenth Street, N. W. Washington, D. C. To the Editor of The Age: I nolled in The Age a request to the recently mustered color of American troops to fight for admission to the "American Legion." You also pointed out in your ably written article that the white camps in the Southern part of the country objected to the admission of colored veterans—which is very true. I take this occasion of writing you my opinion that it would be a great benefit to the veterans hate war to make the fight you surgeat—for the reason that even if they should finally be received into the Legion, they would not enjoy equality, either social or official. They would be driven into segregated camps and would make the "tail enders" in every parade of the Legion for the next half century, many petty insults from time to time deliberately and studiously prepared for the black "comrade." I joined the Spanish War Veterans at the close of the war with Spain with considerable youthful enthusiasm. We had a separate camp here at Washington, but we had so much trouble with white officials and department commanders—were subjected to so many injuries that we needed to impairs. In other words did likewise and finally the camp fell to pieces. Of what benefit has the Grand Army of the Republic been to colored America? This great organization could have abolished every civil and political evil by which we have been afflicted had it lived up to its pretensions. It did not even exercise enough moral influence on the country to abolish lynching. Since its creation the colored people have been distranchised, prescribed and persecuted on an ever ascending scale of violence and the black "combat" of the Grand Army have always been the "tall enders" onade, and unable to use this great social weapon for the protection of the race. Why should we now attempt to repeat the history of the last fifty years, by allowing a half million young colored men, not a single one of whom ever heard the whip of the slave tash to become a segregated among a lot of black men and to be given "hot end of the poker" as the colored veterans if the two previous wars? We have organized the Grand Army of Americans. We hope to have a half million colored veterans in it within the next four years. We intend to use this great organization for the uplift of our people, and for the eradication of those infamous abuses from whom we now suffer. This could not be done if we had to take orders from white men, and it is no longer necessary that we should do so. (Signed) THOS. H. R.

It requires no sage to see just what our daily papers are striving to bring to pass in Pittsburgh. Any reader, he he ever so innocent, can not fail to see that the head lines in our dailies are driving into the people the idea of lynchings, riots and murders. It seems to be the policy of our daily papers to excite the rabble by extravagant use of the front pages, and then appeal to the intelligent class by the hase of editorial space on the inside pages. This is folly, and its practice is bound to bring to Pittsburgh, in the near future, either a lynching, or a race riot. Pittsburgh Courier. Lynch: A Growing City.

How slavery was begun and established itself firmly, its motives and its effects, down to the beginning of its traffic to the western world, will be treated in this article, which is continued from a series dealing with Africa and the Black Man. The world has made haste since Pharaoh died, but nothing more wonderful has happened under the sun than the change by which we may at reading history on Monday in New York, and by the next Monday be thousands of miles away. Between one Sunday and another we may walk on the ashes of two dead empires, we may look on the rums of Rome, and walk on the rums of Egypt—the great people by antiquity, or whom we have warned, Julius Caesar, Marc Antony, Cleopatra, Moses, and the Pharaohs, and then walk slowly down the hill, see the human relation of this greatness, and wonder what life and the world may mean. We may arrive at the Pyramids, and watch the? skyflowers rising magnificently just as they stood 6000 years ago, with the sun shining on them today just as it was when Moses and Abraham saw them. The state of Egypt cannot be told. It is too fat, endless to grasp, that a people who had once did the world is too treated impatient. The minds in claves were the labours of those trained which is the greatest minimum ever set up on earth. Its foundation covers more than thirteen acres, three times as large as St. Peter's in Rome. We must hurry on away from the playground at Mero to the beginning of slavery. We cannot learn much about Aesop but we know he was a slave and that he was lettermale, so that no one would buy him. But it last he was bought and his master found him to be a very wise man, and let him tree. He was a very delightful story teller. He sum of the Greeks by his stories, 2,500 years ago.

From the story of Joseph we may see also that he, too, was a slave. The Ishmaelites sold him to Potiphar, but the latter found him to be so clever and useful that he made him ruler of his house. Yet Joseph was still a slave, so that when his master was angry, with him he could throw his slave into prison. Among the Greeks and Romans it was quite a common thing for slaves who served their master's houses to earn enough money to buy their freedom. Sometimes they continued in the service of the same master as "freedmen," and had slaves of their own. The Emperor Nero, the first who persecuted the Christians, had a freed-man called Epaphroditus, and the latter had a slave called Epictetus. Master Epaphroditus was very cruel to his slave. But in his slavery Epictetus found that, though the body may be in boudage, the soul is free, and that bodily pain and suffering are of no account as compared with freedom of the soul. The Romans, like the great Marcus Aurelius, accounted the slave Epictetus as their master in wisdom. Even when all the Roman world had come to profess Christianity, slavery had not ceased. Justinian, a great Emperor of Rome, had an adviser, who was a slave. His master sent him to Belarus to give advice in times of war. Afterwards this slave was made a general. The old world had two sorts of slaves. First, those whose business was to work and serve their masters in the field. They were owned body and soul by their masters. There were others, captives who were taken in war, who were kept that they might make sport for the Roman people by lightning as gladiators in circus. Once slaves rebelled against Rome, and finally nearly 6000 slaves were slain. For 400 years the great army of slaves ruled Egypt. There was in Europe an ancient dynasty of rulers who had been slaves and ruled a kingdom. In the year 1453 (**80**) men, women and children were made slaves and served throughout the Jurassic Period. coming down through the pages of history we find that the black man had come on the centre of attraction. By doing away with some of the great empires of the world, Havers had been for a while suppressed, but not long enough to be forgotten. About 300 years ago, at a time when ships at sea might be captured a brench ship was so seized, and the crew and master were taken by pirates. Having landed them on the coast of Tunis, they were sold as slaves. Among the captured crew was a young priest, whose name was Paul. He was sold to a Moorish physician.

It appears to be a grayscale photograph with a dark background and some light spots. who took a liking to him, and promised him freedom if he would change from the Christian religion to the Mohammedan. He refused, preferring slavery to giving up his religion. His master died and he was sold again to a native of Venice. The priest knew what it was to be a slave; his heart was stirred to pity by the sufferings of the slaves. At last he gained audience with Louis XIII to petition the French monarch to do what he could to help them. De Paul devoted his life and his possessions to the service of the oppressed. He collected money, and with it bought and freed 1,200 slaves. He also got the THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1919. M. king and queen of France to persuade the Dey of Tunis to let him establish a mission to the Christian slaves of the Moors in North Africa. It was many years before the English and French fleets ceased in doing away with piracy in the Mediterranean. It was largely owing to the services of this gallant hero, De Paul, that the traffic of slavery was finally stopped. He was also the friend of the slaves. This was in early part of the 16th century.

THE STAGE Unusual interest is being shown by theatregoers of Greater New York in the coming two weeks' engagement at the Lafayette Theatre of the Quality Amusement Corporation's musical road show in "Baby Blues," which begins Monday, December 22. To date The Association, composed of young men residing in Harlem and known as "live wires," holds the blue ribbon in the matter of reserving seats, having purchased the first five rows in the orchestra and several boxes for Christmas Eve. This is being done out of compliment to Alex Rogers, one of The Association's honorary members. "Baby Blues" is regarded as a New York product, and although the company went to Chicago to rehearse and make its initial appearance, local theatregoers have heard of the artistic hit this latest musical sensation made in other cities and are preparing to give it a real New York welcome. "Baby Blues" has been declared to be entirely different from any other colored musical attraction. The books and lyrics were written by Alex Rogers and the music by C. Luckeyth Roberts. There are a number of catchy songs in the show, and according to reports coming from Chicago and Pittsburgh, where the company has played, the song entitled "Baby Blues" is being hummed and whistled by hundred. E. C. Brown has spent quite a sum in producing five films and an effort is made to please the ex-scellent in the city. Among those with the compass "Dink" cart, Jim Burton, Charlie Woody, Lk.

With the close of the football season much interest exists as to what players of the various colored college teams are entitled to top ranking. Various selections have been made by the sports writers, and the following selections are submitted to readers of TBA. By H. Scott and J. Chiles, of Washington, D.C., who are styled "Football Bugs." Both these men have been connected with recognized football teams and their opinion is entitled to careful consideration. Their letter is as follows. WASHINGTON, D.C. The "Bues" are attempting to pick an all-American eleven from teams of the colored intercollegiate Athletic Association. We have viewed practically all game played by these teams, and with a fair knowledge of how the game should be played, we feel that we are capable of scoring this team. Every team and every man in his position has been studied, and we believe the best men have been picked. The work of Taylor of Virginia Union at left end stands above all others, and we are loved to say that his work this year consisted and was perhaps more spectacular than was Taylor or Slaughter's during their next play. Long of Hampton is given the old title by a narrow margin over Jackson of Virginia Union. Long perhaps shades Jackson in receiving forward passes while in every other position of the work there is lute to cool, together. Good tackles were planted in, and after careful study we have made a Patterson of Hampton and Williams of Linton. These men were the best defenseayers in their position and had the grace in opening holes for their targets. The guard positions in the Waite of Virginia County and Sumner of Iowa are. The latter was placed in natural position at the center of the game of the game, he was the ground work stopped when the man from back to back in the circuit was playing with a work line, showed up immediately. The round out was impressive line. I was placed at center of the game, he was the ground work stopped when the man from back to back in the circuit was playing with a work line, showed up immediately. I was placed at center of the game, he was the ground work stopped when the man from back to back in the circuit was playing with a work line, showed up immediately. the man in the room was the minister to this team offensively, while they had two equals defensively. Little need top job said of their work, which was spectacular all of the season. In rounding out our field, Laws only one placed at tailback. His untiming ability was so conspicuous during the past season. Reference should be made of Williams of Virginia Union, the wonderfull 115-lb fullback Pazzi of Lincoln, also a finished player, and Brown and Williams of Howard, the former Howard's best roundback player.

The Christmas season of 1919 is to be marked by an ambitious effort on part of the punts of Martin-Smith Music School. On Saturday evening, December 27, at Neolton Hall, an Exposition Concert showing The Negro Child in the Field or Fine Arts is to be given by this institution, under direction of David I. Martin In speaking of this concert Mr. Martin said: "What the colored child has accomplished unleashed along the lines of serious music, and a forecast of the possible future of the American colored citizen as a serious artist, are the principal themes of this presentation of the largest instrumental aggregation of colored musicians ever assembled. The Martin-Smith Music School has steadfastly clung, uncompromisingly to its original ideals and is now preparing, with the support of many of New York's leading citizens, to become a public institution under the Regents of New York. The Martin on the twenty-seventh of December is the beginning of a great musical movement and the interest of the people is plainly shown by the tre memorial advance sale of seats." To one of the children, Mr. Martin has included in his senior orchestra, with one hundred instrumentals, and the soloists will be Juliane Mars Martin, violin Havel Laumal, piano, Laylyn Thomas, dancer and Linda Spence, reader.

Carr, Mill Owner, Who Pays Great Tribute to Negro Employe BY CHAS. N. HUNTER Portsmouth, Va. It is pleasant to know that all is not bad in the South. As in the days of slavery there is a better nature, a nobler soul, a liner sentiment, a beautiful spirit here. In the sweep of the dominant influences of racial antagonism, Jim Crowism, and mob lawlessness, the better South with its lofty ideals and cherished traditions is too often obscured. The great heart of its great men and women is submerged and we see only the onrush of the turbulent tide of madness. But there is in this Southland a purer, better, and sweeter life as respects the races and ever and anon, we witness its manifestation. There is in the South a genuine and a tender attachment between a large element of both races that has resisted all the assaults of partisan rancor, misguided judgment, and the baser passions. I know this. I was born a slave and was reged in the South. My life of many long years has been spent in close contact, with its people, white and colored. I know them well. Left to themselves, with the voice of the selfish political demagogue silenced, they would live together in peace and work out a glorious destiny. They would make this sunny Southland the Eden of the Great Republic. My life has been largely devoted to teaching and educational work among my race. In whatever community I have lived and labored I have found the white people my chief support. That I have accomplished some things in North Carolina is a matter of record and general knowledge in that State. Whatever of good I have been instrumental in achieving for my people due to the generous sympathy and splendid help which I have received from the white people. They have given freely not only of their personal and official influence, but have been large financial contributors to my work. I cannot, I do not, and never have believed these people my enemies or the enemies of my race. The do not hate me. Outside of my own family they are the best friends I have on earth. They do not hate the Negro race. They are facing conditions which they find it hard to remedy and think unwise to combat. I may now recall the fact that when I was teaching in the Negro Graded School of Durham from 1897 to 1891, General Julian S. Carr employed me to conduct a night school for the Negro employees of his factory and paid me from his own private purse. When I sought to have the State erect a Teacher's Training School at Durham, Mr. Carr and the other white people of Durham placed at my disposal twenty-five acres of land immediately adjacent to the city and $1,000 in cash conditioned upon the passage of the hill by the General Assembly establishing the school. Mr. F. L. Fuller was then a member of the House and succeeded in getting the bill through that body. Extraneous circumstances developed while the bill was before the Senate and served to defeat it. People capable of these decisions cannot be the Negroes enemies. And now, despite all appearances to the contrary, we have many happy auguries of the fact that the processes of crystallization are in rapid motion and that there are beaming potents of the dawn of the splendid era. The occasion of these reflections is the recent act of the great Carr family of Derham, N. C., in naming their hystery mill in honor of John O'Donnell, a Negro who for more than thirty years was Mr. Carr's trusted employee. He knew every detail of the home life of the Carr family and was local, tainted, true, indoors, honest and sensible. I knew Mr. O'Donnell well. He was my warm and valued friend. I was often a gungo in his lovely home and shared his elegant hospitality. He was one of the few men to whom I could unhinder myself in absolute confidence. The following correspondence will bring out more fully the great heart of the great Carr family. And this family is not alone. It is representation of a large and growing class. God bless them. PROF. HUNTER TO GEN. CARR. (COLN) I note with very great pleasure that you have designated your new hires mall "The John O'Daniel Mill." This in honor of my late friend and your valued and esteemed employee in many years. The compliment is a kind distinction and well merited. It brings into commanding relief a type of Negro character, or which there are many, but they are seldom brought to light, and outside the sphere of their personal activities do not figure in the general appraisement of the race. This thoughtful and generous appreciation on your part, and on the part of your family, is great worth. It calls attention to a Negro whose nobility of heart and soul; whose faithfulness in service, whose loyalty to every trust imposed, whose industry, good sense, and unshielded devotion marked him an example worthy of our best efforts to emulate. I know John W O'Daniel well. During the years since I was a teacher in the Negro Graded School of Dutham, his home has been my home when in the city of Durham. He was one of the few men with whom I have held relations during my long life to whom I gave my full and unreserved confidence, and felt happy in the consciousness that my trust was fully reciprocated. This splendid memorial to this faithful Negro comes at a time when it carries most important collateral values. In this time of unrest, upheaval, demoralization and nervous strain, the Negro has not escaped the prevailing infection. He, too, is more or less disturbed and restless. With unerring finger you have pointed out to him the path of safety and the road to success. The same qualities that have gained for John W O'Daniel an enduring and a proud monument will gain for others success and honor, no less complete. If you have in mind the enlargement of the "John O'Daniel Mill" to an extent commensurate with the popularity of its product you may prepare to make one of the largest—if not THE LARGEST of its kind in the world. There are twelve millions of us who wear hose and the grade to be turned out by this enterprise reaches the excellence of your water mills there is no reason why twelve millions of us should not wear its output. Always assured of your deep interest in the solid progress of my race, and feeling deeply grateful for the many personal favors which I have enjoyed Post Office Box 21 Portsmouth, VA December 1, 1999 General J. S. Carr Durham, N. C Dear Sir: your hands, and with the hope and prayer that in North Carolina at least, we may have peace between the races and that the spirit of the Master may enter into our hearts and govern our lives. CHARLES N. HUNTER GEN. CARR TO PROF. HUNTER (COPY) Durham, North Carolina, Dec. 4, 1919. Mr. Charles N. Hunter Portsmouth, Va. My dear Sir: It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge receipt of your good letter of December 1. I appreciate it very much and thank you most graciously for the kind expressions relating to our having named one of our hostery mills, for John O'Daniel. No better man, white or colored, ever lived than John O'Daniel; richable, responsible, loyal and faithful. It is a great pleasure to us to pay this fine character this tribute, and I am greatly pleased to note the very handsome way which our colored friends have received the suggestion and how they appreciate it. It makes us more glad that we have done what we have. I am a great friend to the colored man, and I love to do those things that tend to uplift the race. It is my candid opinion that North Carolina has the most colored population of any State in the South and that Durham heads the parade. Thanking you again for your very kind letter, I beg to remain, with assurance of my good wishes. Very truly yours, JULIAN S. CARR. YOUNGSTOWN, O Youk Town, Ohio - Buckeye Lodge No. 73, I. B. P. O.

Missionary Work for the Presbyterian Church The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America has definitely expressed a desire in connection with its new era movement to do a larger church work among the colored people in the City of Greater New York. To this end the Rev. Dr. John W. Lee field missionary for the Board of Missiones for Freedmen has been working in this field for the last eight weeks, making a survey in part of the spiritual needs of our colored people. Looking over the entire city of Greater New York, the Harlem district shows the greatest need for a larger church work and affords the largest opportunity. With a population of not less than 130,000 in that section, there are not more than twenty-five colored churches, with a seating capacity of about 18,000, and a communicant member-ship of approximately 18,500, so that 20,000 people desired to attend church services on next Sabbath day they could not be accommodated. In the centre city of Greenees New York, there are about seventy-one churches for colored people, and the entire population is between 19,000 and 20,000. This being true the need of more churches at the right character HOT SPRINGS, VA Hot Springs, N.A. The Rev. A. Green or Salem, N.A. filled the pulpit at Smith Chapel last Sunday night. The Rev. Mat. Robinson, of St. Stanton, N.A. preached a special service at Diney Grove Baptist Church last Wednesday night. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jennings have returned from a short visit to Lynchburg. It is worthy of note that the Virginia Hot Springs Company shows its appreciation for faithful, efficient service regardless of race or color. That was manifested by the board of directors when in their last annual meeting they unanimously voted a bonus of $100 to the bread bellman, Walter Harris, Jr. who has filled that position very satisfactorily for the last several years, succeeding his brother, the late Robert C. Harris. Looking Down. Rodd I hear Black is going to buy Green: Well, there. New, no reticence will compel everybody beneath him. Yankees Statsman.

This does not mean more little missions in store trunks and private dwellings, such as are found on so many Harlest streets, no doubt because of the need of money to create better and more suitable places of worship. The responsive denomination, however, should see to it that they have up-to-date buildings, inviting and attractive to the priests at large, with a first class intellectual ministerial leadership, with a bishop, clergy, evangelistic Christian service. With this character of church worship would come greater success in teaching the unchallenged mass of people in this district. Dr. Lee's special appeal is to the Presbyterian denomination for more and better churches to do the full share of church work among the colored people "The Board of Mission for Freedom of the Presbyterian Church in the G. S. A. of which I am a representative, stands ready to assist to the extent of its ability in doing our full share of work among the people of our race," said Dr. Lee in speaking of his work. The Key. Dr John W. Lee is recognized as one of the most able administrators of the church of his diagnosis, having served successfully as pastor for seventeen years of the First African Prebyterian Church of Philadelphia, Pa., the merger church of the denomination among red people. He gave up that postdate two years ago to accept the position of field missionary of the Board of Missions for Freedom for the Northern States. He has been very successful in organizing new churches in the Middle West, having organized, or assisted in organizing, ten new churches and missions in the last two years. Eight weeks ago, the Board of Mission directed him to come to New York to assist the Rev Dr. W. R. Lawton to organize the Washington Memorial Mission into what is now known as the Kendall Memorial Presbyterian Church, which was on Sunday, November 9. Since that time he has been assisting the Sipaam Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, N. Y. to reorganize its working force, that church being without a pastor. This effort culminated in the unanimous call to Tueplay, December 2, of the Rev George S. Stark, D. D., on Presbyterian N. L. to the pastorate, which took. Like the beginning of new life for the church. His next effort was to assist in organizing the St. Paul's Presbyterian Community House on Summer avenue, near Gates avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. on Sunday, December 7. These two new organizations will give the Presbyterian denomination three organized churches and one mission. The St. James Presbyterian Church, 137th Street, near Lenox; Rentall Memorial Presbyterian Church, Lattice avenue and Park place, Brooklyn, and St. Paul's Presbyterian Community House, Summer avenue, near Gates. It is stated that as these new places of worship become developed other places will be opened, according to the need of the situation, that the Presbyterian Church may do its uphill share of the work of evangelisation among our colored people. Dr. Lee is not only an able administrator and organizer of church work, but is a pleasing, forceful and elephant platform speaker and preacher. He is in constant demand for platform and pulpit service. He expects to leave New York for Boston, Mass., and other parts of New England in the near future, to take up the work of organizing churches and missions among our people where the Presbyterian Churches Las none.

The annex will be in operation from December 17 to 24 for the sale of postage stamps and the handling of parcel post mail, insured and ordinary. The hours are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. its speaking of this arrangement for the convenience of his/her friends, the superintendent at College station can aid greatly in the prompt receiving of mail matter by immediate notification to the postoffice of any change in address. He declared that many letters are not delivered because of removal of the address from a given number without giving their new address, to the mail carriers or to the postmaster. Another cause of lost mail is the bad condition of the mail boxes in the vestibules of many of the apartment houses. Often it is the case that these boxes are in bad condition and mail placed in them can be removed by anyone without the aid of a key. The superintendent thought that it tenants will bring this matter of the attention of landlords this condition could be remedied. Cooperation of the people with the postoffice folks is essential to the best service. TO INSTALL NEW PRESIDENT.
