Five years ago the congregation of the Mercy Seat Baptist Church was working in a small building on 134th street, the office being not only small and inadequate but also encumbered with debt. In fact, it did not belong to the congregation, but was the property of the Baptist City Mission. Then in December, 1914, the Rev. William W. Brown, at that time passing the Loomer Baptist Church, Pittsburgh, Pa., was called to take charge of a weak and struggling New York congregation, he accepted and took up the work. His first effort was to clear up outstanding debt. The church name had been changed from Mercy North Metropolitan, and according to a court ruling the Metropolitan Church was not liable for debts contracted under the former name. But Dr. Brown would not consent to this and proceeded to pay the obligations owing $1,200 due the Rev. N. S. Epps, former pastor, and had no SIP, which latter had been specially declared outlawed by the courts. In Five Years. Raised 8183.902.30.

A site covering six lots on West 138th street between Laurex and Seventh avenues was acquired at a cost of $30,000 and a temporary structure erected for the use of Metropolitan's congregation. This building seated about 1,200, but it was a common happening at evening services for the public authorities to warn the pastor and officers of the church against the overcrowding of the aisles. A little more than a year ago in December, 1918, just four years after coming to New York, Dr. Brown and his officials acquired the church property formerly occupied by the Old Harlem Presbyterian Church at 138th street and Seventh avenue. The deal for this property was made through Mr. Lundy of the Title Guarantee & Trust Co., and it was necessary to use the name of a third party in the transaction, as the sentiment was strongly against selling this property to a closed congregation. A payment of $7,000 in cash was made when the sales were taken, and a 5-year mortgage for $40,000 was taken by the Presbyteries of New York.

In June, 1913, taking advantage of a revolution in Haiti between the forces of President Sam and organized forces, the President of the United States sent Mr. Paul Buller to Port au Prince with powers to negotiate a treaty placing the control of customs in Haiti under the control of the American Government. The Haitian Government did not wish to enter into such a treaty, but made counter proposals which the American Government deemed unsatisfactory. These proposals, it is said, were to the effect that the State Department should use its influence with the National City Bank of New York to obtain immediately a loan of $2,000,000 for five years. This proposal not finding favor with the State Department, the merchants of Port-au-Prince, among them a number of Germans, covered the loan, which seemed to have aroused theire of the American Government." He then said that forces from the United States marine were soon landed at Port-au-Prince under the cover of darkness, and that they proceeded to declare martial law, after the natives of the interior had shown some resistance. "The press was placed under censorship," said Bishop Hurat, "public meetings were prohibited and American were placed in charge of the customs.

When the contracts was about to be closed Dr. Brown found that certain parties upon whom he had relied in deals for the raising of the money necessary for the first each payment were about to disappoint him. A deposit of $7,000 had already been placed and failure to raise the balance of the first payment meant loss of the deposit. In this extremity Dr. Brown called his congregation together and explained the pleaement in which they were placed. 92 Members: Lend $15,000. In a short while many two members of the church, men and women, raised $10,000 in a loan, and this in many made possible the purchase of the present chair in properties every spoon of this money has been repaid, with interest from the regular collections of the church. It is an unusual financial system by the way, which has been inaugurated by Dr. Brown at Metropolitan. Each member is expected to contribute just 25 cents a week, and are especially requested not to give more. This applies to all, from the pastor to the priest. I were a year, in the spring and in the fall, Dollar Rallies are held, and at these times members are called upon to give $1 each. It is from this system that Dr. Brown and his friends have secured such wonderful results. Supports a Missionary The church raised in 1879 $1000 and above and above its current expense. Missionary is supported in Virginia, the church paying his salary in Virginia in both. The money is sent to each month. This missionary, Herbert Dane, was born in Baltimore, but brought to New York when a law and cared this city is established in Middletown, Cape Cod, with his wife who paid $25 per month by the Bardst State project on Page 100. N. A. A. C. P. MEETING ON A large audience heard the brilliant group of speakers at the eleventh annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which was held at Cooper Union on January 5, 1919. The theme of the evening was "The Negro and Labor." Dr. W. H. R. Dullus, the first speaker, chose "The American tongue as the subject of his speech in which he described the system of peonage which is employed in the delta regions to keep the black laborers from the reward of his labor. He said that the history of this region was as a blot on American civilization as the Congo horror was on that of Europe. The next speaker, Fudley Field Mahone, who spoke on, The Negro's Claim to American Citizenship, emphasized the economic basis of all problems in America to-day and said that any solution of the Negro problem would have to be approached from that angle. In conclusion he warned his audience to be a slave to no party but to thoughtfully consider that third force, the character of which has not yet been determined, but which is being developed through the economic aspirations of the people. Prof. M. H. Gassaway told, simply and interestingly of his forced escape from Anderson, S. C., because of his connection with the branch of the National Association in that city James Weldon Johnson, field secretary of the association, made the appeal for the organization. The final speaker, the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, said that to-day we must have millions of miners' clothes, black and white, instead of white clavers of black men alone. He emphasized the need of union between the white and the black laborer for their mutual protection and development. The Clerk Club furnished the music for the evening. YORK JEE MASONS WIN IN MARYLAND (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) BARTLETON, Md.—Judge Dobler, in Circuit Court, No. 2, last Saturday den- ned the petition filed by the Most Wor- shipful United-Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Maryland for an injunction preventing the Free and Accepted Ancient York Rite Masons from setting up lodges in this State. The case came up for trial a month ago, lasting a week. A Ashbie Hawkins represented the plaintiffs and two white attorneys the defendants. An appeal may be taken to the Court of Appeals. PHILA. Y. W. C. A. TO FIND JOBS FOR WOMEN Pittsburgh, Pa. The Young Women's Association of Philadelphia has taken over the work of the colored women's division of the United States Employment Service. Plans have been made to make the employment service a permanent part of the Y.W.T. a work. The service will be conducted similar to that of the United States Employment Service. One of the most important features of the work will be cooperation with various welfare agencies in the city, such as Travelers' Val. Society for Organizing Charities, Armstrong Association, Philadelphia Association for the Protection of Colored Women, etc. The bureau will secure employment for women who come through these welfare organizations and will refer such cases as from time to time come to its notice. There is no other organization in the city of Philadelphia doing the kind of work which the Y.W.C. employment Service offers the public and it is thought that colored women in large numbers will take advantage of the opportunity to secure employment. Mrs. Carita Owens (officin) is an charge of the employment department and Mrs. Lincoln E. Proctor is assistant. FHOS, H. BANKS CO. IN HANDS OF BEYOND Information has been received to the effect that the Banks' Southern Fried Chicken and Restaurant Co. Thos H. Banks, president and general manager, operating four restaurants, at 407 Lenox avenue, 538 Lenox avenue, 25 West 133d street and 251-2 West 133d street, closed its doors on December 15, 1919, its affairs being put into the hands of a receiver. Mr. Banks is one of Harlem's pioneer business men, having started his fried chicken business seven years ago, using a push cart from which to purvey his cooked food. He built up a business that required three stores, the two on West 133d street and one at 538 Lenox avenue. A company was formed and articles of incorporation taken out in February, 1919, and the capital stock placed at $100,000. Mr. Banks retained 51 per cent, of the stock and put the balance on the market at $10 per share. But it is alleged that he was able to dispose of only a small amount, probably from $2,500 to $5,000. The headquarters of the corporation were opened at 407 Lenox avenue. It is said that the national prohibition law was partly responsible for failure of the company, as many of its patrons were among the class who also patronized the saloons. In fact, a former official of the company is reported to have stated that the bank of the fried chicken business was done between the houses of 11 p. and 2 p. C. C.

Justin Carter, of the Harrisburg bar, has just been appointed as private secretary to Lieutenant Governor Fiedelman, of Pennsylvania, in recognition of his splendid services in the political successes which have marked the career of Mr. Fiedelman, who was formerly a State Sena- tor, and who is a man with a political future. Mr. Carter's most recent court case was winning a verdict of not guilty for a white woman accused of killing her infant child, Mr. Carter proving to the satisfaction of the jury that the mother's mental and physical condition was such at time of the alleged infanticide as to justify her irresponsible. Has Enrollment of 2,540 Children, the Majority of Whom Come from Colored Families. Mrs. Tupper, Principal, Says School Has Complete Academic Course and a Fine Prevocational Course. There are no separate schools in New York City—all children of all races attend the school that is nearest in their particular school district. In Harlem there is a mixed population, with the Negro children in the majority. So in School 119, located at 257 West 134th street, near Eighth Avenue, the majority of the children in attendance each day come from colored families. The school register shows an enrollment of 2,540 pupils. Mrs. Harriet A. Tupper is the principal. She came to this school on October 15, 1917, beginning work in the stress of war conditions, which made her task exceptionally difficult. A large volume of work was thrown upon the principal and her staff by the demands incident to the census and soldiers' statements. But this work was well and capably looked after; as was the duty incident to the various war loans and relief work. Children of P.

The school has been children supplied for the Junior Red Cross and French Reber, 3,480 garments, and for the Red Cross, $200. No tabulation of W. S. S. and Thrift Stamps was made for 1918-19, but from September to December 24, 1919, they purchased stamps to the amount of $2,159.95, an average of 85 cents for each child enrolled in the school. Pupils Earned $2,376.30 Industrial and presocational work has necessitated considerable outlay for materials, as well as for materials for relief work, and a great part of this money has been earned in the school. Since September, 1918, the amount earned was $2,556,300 and there is now a small balance in bank so that the school is solvent financially. In talking to an AoA representative concerning the work of the school, Mrs. Tupper said: "On the academic side there have been many handouts. They were first, the pressure of war work, secondly, the absence of teachers and assistants caused larger by influenza; third, the inability to secure substitutes because of the heegar's pittance.

Last Sunday was full of stirring events at St. James Presbyterian Church. The large congregation thatacked the church was moved by the holy Spirit at the morning service. The subject discussed by Dr. Hyder was "the influence of prayer on the individual life." At the close of the sermon invitation to accept Jesus the Christ a personal Savior was given and twenty-one persons joined the church. At the evening service six persons joined the church. The day was closed in administering the Communion of Lord's Supper after a number of the disciples had been baptized. The young people's orchestra on the first Sunday past in the year made a distinct hit. The week of prayer began last Monday The Revs. Edmard of the Episcopal Church and Rogers of the City Mission issuing the pastor in the meeting.

Growth of Church Under New Pastor (Continued from Page One) Convention of New York. Mrs. Payne was originally from Peekskill, N. Y. These missionaries maintain a school for the natives and conduct religious services at several stations. In addition to this, the Metropolitan Church paid for education last year $1,200 and for foreign missions, $1,500. The Sunday School, with J. W. Hunter as superintendent, has about 700 pupils and forty-five teachers. The teachers meet regularly twice a week for the study of the Sunday School lesson. J. H. Green is the assistant superintendent. The B. Y. P. U. is conducted by Mrs. E. H. Johnson, its president, each Sunday from 6 to 8 o'clock. p. m. a splendid literary society is run in connection with the B. Y. P. U. meeting on the first and second Tuesdays in each month. Athletic clubs are conducted, all the necessary supplies being furnished by the church. The boys' club is directed by George W. Murray and the girls are looked after by Mrs. Gaskins and Mrs. Louise Butterfield. They meet weekly on different nights, and joint meetings of the boys and girls are held once a month. A splendid choir of twenty six, the capacity of the choir loft, is directed by D. Holland, organist and chorister. Paid Pastor $6.841.50. Dr. Brown is not paid a simulated salary. By mutual consent it has been arranged that the collections on the third Sunday in each month are for the support of the pastor. During 1919, these collections averaged more than $500 to the Sunday, the total amount paid Dr. Brown for the year being $841.50. An assistant pastor is given Dr. Brown, the Rev. Charles W. Brown filling that position. He spent one year at Howard ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH. On Sunday, January 4, the morning and evening services were attended by unusually large congregations. The pastor, Dr. W. H. Brooks, preached at both services. The text of the morning sermon was St. John, 20:13. Theme: "The soul's greatest disaster." In the course of his remarks Dr. Brooks laid great stress upon the supreme importance of a personal experience with God, in order to avert disaster to the soul. The text of the evening sermon was Acts 3:19. Theme: "Repent and be converted." The doctor said in part that there can be no forgiveness of sin without repentance and no man can repent of his sins and at the same time hold on to ill-gotten gains: In the morning, Dr. Brooks was assisted by Rev. Gilbert Wilson and in the evening by Rev. Stanley Grammum. Durin the day twelve persons united with the church. At both services the choir under Prof. E. A. Jackson rendered excellent music. In the evening the congregation alternated with the choir in singl. The Sunday School was rarely attended. A very able address was delivered by Mr. Anderson of the Church Extension Society. The evangelistic services of the church will be held during the entire month of January. It is hoped that this series of services will result in a great ingathering of souls for Christ. A special invitation is extended to everyone in general and to the unvested in particular to attend these meetings. BEAUTIFUL HOMES IN JAMAICA Eighteen minutes to New York City.

R. E. Morgan is president of this company. It is capitalized at $50,000, but only $22,000 of its stock has been sold.

America's Political Crime Againet the Haitian People "(Continued from Page One) from their homes to appear before the provost marshal because they dared express themselves openly against this high-handed procedure." He then asserted that white Americans were appointed to take charge of the collection of Haitian customs, at salaries ranging from $3,000 to $12,000 a year, despite the fact that prominent colored Americans and fair-minded white men urged that American Negroes of ability be given these positions. Haiti's Credit Was Good. He took up the beginning of this Government's scheme to place Haiti under its protectorate, giving as a reason that Haitians owed European governments $21,000,000. By a system of amortization, Bishop Hurst told the academicians, the Haitian government was always able to meet its creditors. "Because of the faith kept with her foreign creditors," he went on, "Haiti had become a favored client in Europe and her loan positions had never been questioned. The American Government feared that Haiti might fail to live up to her obligation and thereby endanger the Monroe Doctrine, and yet for two years after taking control of the financial affairs of that country the authorities at Washington have failed to meet the coupons on the Haitian debt. If they had made any payment on account of principal or interest, it must have been since March, 1919. The revenues from the Haitian emigrants, instead of being applied to meet legitimate and just obligations of the Haitian people have been used rather to pay large salaries to American In November, 1919, the Parents' Association was reorganized and a new set of officers elected.

In compliance with a demand from the United States, Bishop Hurst averted, Haiti inserted the following provision in a new constitution which it ordered adopted: "Any foreigner who finds himself in Haiti enjoys the same protection as that accorded Haitians. The right of property is accorded him for the use of his family and for business purposes, such as agricultural, commercial, industrial or teaching." A Political Crime. He asserted that this country practically dictated the provisions in the new constitution. Haiti failed to heed the advice of the United States to declare war against Germany, Bishop Hurse said, but did withdraw diplomatic relations. Bishop Hurst concluded: "I do not think anywhere in the annals of history is to be found a political crime that corresponds to the one permitted upon the weak and struggling people of Haiti. It is but the Negro question in a new form. After one hundred years or more of struggle to fulfill a mission that Providence had entrusted to them, namely to assist in the rehabilitation of the Negro race, the Haitian people find themselves violently arrested, the work of their fathers pulled down, their traditions shattered and now at the mercy of those whose only right to manage their affairs is that they are strong."

Address all letters and make all checks and money orders payable to THE NEW YORK AGE. TO TEACH AMERICANISM. A memorial tribute of typographical beauty, as well as appropriate sentiments, has been issued by the Rocky Mountain Club of New York, containing the addresses given at the dinner of that organization on the anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt's birthday. This A is glad to receive a copy of this tribute, as the Rocky Mountain Club has exhibited keen interest in matters affecting the Negro race and did much during the war toward the entertainment of the Negro soldiers passing through and in camp near New York. Colonel Roosevelt was a member of this club, of which the well-known mining engineer, John Hays Hammond, is president, and Herbert Wall is the efficient secretary. The pamphlet opens with an extract from a letter or Col. Roosevelt in behalf of Belgian Rebel, followed by his favorite hero, beginning, "How firm a foundation ye prints of the Lord." Then follow addresses delineating some valuable feature of Roosevelt's character by the guest of honor, Herbert Hoover. Toastmaster Alton B. F. pastor, President Hammond, Job, F. Hedges, Col. Lindsey, Ellihu Root, Major general Shanks and Waltam Boyce Thompson, president of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. The oppositeness of the tributes paid to the illustrious departed is illustrated by the following extract from Mr. Hoover's speech: "That the social ideal that we now need lies deep in the heart of the American people. It is the social ideal of Theodore Roosevelt. It is the simple ideal of equality of opportunity." So graphic is the drawing of Roosevelt's character and teachings given in this pamphlet that it ought to be put in every school and college in the country for the training of the coming generation in the lesson of true Americanism. REAL RADICALISM. The term "Radicalism" has received such a black eye through its present day association with Bolshhevism, I. W. Wism and other anarchistic teachings that the true meaning and intent of the word have been largely obscured. Radicalism in its prier application was a policy or sentiment that differed from existing customs or law and advanced the idea of reform or the abolishment of long prevailing abuses. The opponents of human slavery preached radicalism in their day, as did the promoters' of civil service reform a few generations later and the advocates of prohibition in the year just passed. No moral or legal stigma attached to the term radical or radicalism when applied to those reforms, at least in the two later cases. Why should the term now be given solely to the description of those who seek to submit government by law to government by the mob? Properly applied the term radicalism might be used to describe most of the reforms recently adopted by inclusion in the statute law, such as taxation of child labor to the point of abolishing it, and the conferring of suffrage on women. In some sections of the country any movement to accord human rights or citizenship to the Negro is denominated radicalism, but that should not detract from the justice or necessity for such a movement. Even the fact, that the I. W. W. and the Communist Party declare in favor of enunciating racial discontent among the Negroes, while it may be radical, is not necessarily against the law. As a matter of fact, the Negro is so keenly conscious of the injustices practiced upon him in certain sections, that no radical propaganda could make his situation any clearer than it is already to the race at large. There should be a recognition of the benefits flowing from a sane radicalism. A policy that would aim at correcting the abuses and injustices practiced upon the weak and defenceless—a radicalism that would make the law the protector of all men in all sections of Amarjora. That would be a real radicalism that would indeed make America the home of true democracy. Let all true Americans speed its com- COMMUNIST AGITATION. The Department of Justice last week took the arrest and imprisonment of several hundred alien agitators, denied as members of the Communist Party of the Communist Labor parties. Most of those arrested were Russians, German and Austrians and it was charged they contemplated the establishment of Soviet form of government in this country similar to that which now obtains in Russia. The New York Tribune, in its account of the raids represent the Assistant Attorney General, as taking the following position: Francis T. Garvan, Assistant Attorney General, in discussing the raids, held that the two parties had been working hand in hand to gain the same end and planned eventually to unite in revolution. To show the effort of the party leaders to strengthen their influence, Mr. Garvan revealed attempts made by the radicals to organize the Negro population of the United States to assist in establishing the Soviet government. He held that as a result of this propaganda some disorders among Negroes might be expected. Among the documents seized by Federal agents bearing on the effort to organize the Negroes was the following: "In close connection with the unskilled workers is the problem of the Negro. The Negro presents a political and economic problem. The racial oppression of the Negro is simply the expression of his economic bondage and oppression, each intensifying the other. This complicates the Negro problem, but does not alter its proletarian character. The Communist party will carry on agitation among the Negro workers to unite them with all class-conscious workers." And the Tribune tried to add to the story by printing a sub-head in black printing: "Propaganda to Organize Revenge and Trouble is So far the only great newspaper ad- vocate of human rights decenated into an awkward agent of Southern prepa- ranch. The insoluble effort to commit Night to the Community party needs more evidence than the matter of fact reference to the race problem printed above. Let the Tribune medit its ways and tote square. QUESTIONABLE ENTERPRISES. In this case of get rich-quick enter- prises, which promise the gullible in- vestor all sorts of interest on a small investment, it behooves the small capita- list to look well before the leaps. Twenty per cent. Miller may have departed, but his successors are numerous and plausible in their promises. Before investing one's savings in any enterprise, it is well for the would-be investor to scrutinize and investigate. Ask these questions: Are the men behind the scheme responsible and reliable? Do they know anything about the business they propose to start? Have they any money or property of their own invested in it? Is it a business that will fill a certain need or demand already existing or must a demand be created for its products? Even if all these questions can be answered favorably, the enterprise may not succeed, but the investor will at least have a run for his money, as the sporting fraternity would phrase it. But in a case where the promoter contributes merely his pleasing personality, a glibness at glittering genealogy, with no practical knowledge of the details or principles of the contemplated enterprise, except a positive genius for creating organization expenses, the chance of the investor for ever seeing a dividend, much less his original investment again, are mighty slim. The plan of investing one's savings in the enterprises requires both caution and boldness. Caution in selecting an enterprise with the proper kind of men behind it, whose character and career indicate the ability to manage the affair with honesty and business capacity. Boldness then enables one to put up his money and await the result with equanimity. But beware of the fellow who promises big dividends without anything to back up his promises. Rent profiteering is not confined to the grazing landlords of New York and other big cities. Even the quietness natives of the Fiji Islands are accused of practising this modern extortion of a recent writer, who says: They own practically all the land in their group of islands, deprive the fact that the Fijians are a British possession, that an early Governor of Fiji made an unfortunate bargain with the natives whereby, he allowed them to keep all the land and permitted them to leave it to foreigners. The natives immediately turned this arrangement into a gold mine and to-day very, very few of them work. Why should they? Being shrewd, they have consistently raised rents after the manner of landlords the world over, and enjoy life to the full. They ride in automobiles, dress according to their tastes—some of which are extravagant—eat, sleep and go to the movies. We do not know which is the more remarkable, the fact that a British administrator should keep a bargain with the natives or the natives being shrewd enough to take advantage of it. That kind of British governor was not sent to Africa, judging from the native press accounts. A $60,000 barber business with twenty-eight of the best barbers and the "South's only colored barber's college" is the enterprise founded by A. P. Martin, according to the Bluff City News of Memphis, Tenn. Mr. Martin is to be congratulated on the development of a personal service industry to such an extent as indicated by the figures quoted. Another strike occurred during the holidays, according to this notice, published in the Raleigh Independent: "The Independent will not be published on December 27. The whole force has STRUCK for a 'vacation' during the Xmas holidays." Evidently there was no chance for strike breakers in this case. THE NEW YORK SUN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1924 VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor THE FUTURE HARLEM Have you ever stopped to think what the future Harlem will be? It will be a city within a city. It will be the greatest Negro city in the world within the greatest city in the world. In the next thirty years the Negro city of Harlem, roughly speaking, will embrace the territory from 110th street to the Harlem River and from Fifth and Madison avenues above 110th street to Morningside Park. This territory will contain a colored population in the neighborhood of a half million. In that time 135th street will have become a great business street, and 145th street will be following fast behind it. More than that, 125th street will have passed under the control principally of colored business men. The great stores and shops and the theatres and the hotels and office buildings of that thoroughfare will be controlled and patronized chiefly by colored people. Some may fear that the Negro will be driven out of Harlem as he was in years gone by driven out of the Thompson and Bleeker street neighborhood into the Thirties; and out of the Thirties into the Fifties and upon San Juan Hill; and from there into the Nineties and into Harlem. In my opinion he is in Harlem to stay, because his condition in this section is entirely unlike it ever was in any of the other sections. In the first place, there are perhaps 125,000 colored people in Harlem now, and there is no place for them to go, unless they leave the city. In the former moves, there were only a few people to move, five, ten or twenty-thousands; it is almost disconceivable to think of moving these 125,000 colored people anywhere at all. In the second place, Harlem is a sort of natural pocket town fed almost on two sides by the river. To move again, these colored people would have to cross the Harlem River over the already thickly populated Brook. But a stronger reason still is the fact that the Negroes are beginning to own Harlem. In the older sections they called only their churches. In Harlem they own not only their churches, but are fast buying homes; and not only homes, but large apartment houses. I am informed that in the past twelve months, colossal people in Harlem have taken over more than the million bounty worth of property. Among the great people in Harlem, St. Philip's Church heads, the list with more than a million worth. And so I feel confident that the Negro is in Harlem to stay. And what a fine part of New York City he has come into possession of! High and dry, wide and beautiful streets, no ill-illipid buildings, a section of handsome private houses and of modern apartment and flat houses, a section right in the heart of the empire city of the world. We take just this first glimpse of the Harlem of the future; at another time we shall consider some of the possibilities for the race which it will offer. TWO ADVERTISEMENTS—TWO VIEWS—WHICH WILL WIN? We have received in the past week two full page advertisements printed in two Southern newspapers. One of these advertisements appears in the Bogalusa "Enterprise," and was inserted by The Self Preservation and Loyalty League of Bogalusa. The other advertisement appears in the Memphis "Commercial-Appeal," and was inserted by the Chamber of Commerce of Greenville, Mississippi. These two advertisements represent the two views of Southern whites on the race question, the two views which are now struggling for ascendancy. One of these views regards the Negro as without any rights that the white man is bound to respect. The other is the view of that minority in the South which, relatively, may be called liberal. Its main purpose is the establishment of "better relations between the two races." As an indication of the sentiments expressed in the Bogalusa Loyalty League advertisement, we quote: "Our constitution clearly sets forth the following: "We do not intend to sit supinely by, and allow any enervation on the heritage left us by our fathers, who made the tremendous sacrifices in Reconstruction Days. The Negro in this section will well well if notators will allow him to live in peace and contentment, and such publications as the "Crisis," "Menace," "Consider," "Wachita Herald," and other notorious social equality Negro papers are barred from mails in the Southland." In another paragraph the Bogalusa advertisement sets forth as one of the causes that led to the organization of the Loyalty League the following: "The meeting of whites and blacks together in balls and in private homes on absolute equality." We turn now to the Greenville Chamber of Commerce advertisement. The difference between the two advertisements which at once strikes the eye is that the Bogalusa statement is not vouched for by any individuals, while the Greenville statement is signed by ninety-one business and professional men and municipal office holders. We quote from the Greenville statement as follows: "We, the undersigned citizens of Greenville and Washington Counties, Mississippi, hold it to be self-evident that the rational contentment, prosperity and progress of the laboring classes of any country or community are essential factors in the permanent prosperity and progress of such country or community as a whole. "This is just as true where the bulk of such laboring population are Negroes as it is where they are white. In such cases there is the additional essential of good relations between the two races, and of a policy on the part of the white man which will inspire in the Negro not only respect, but confidence, loyalty and esteem as well. "It follows that in our territory every proper policy and means should be adopted by the white race which looks to the same encouragement of the Negroes among us. "It is the purpose of the Industrial Welfare Committee of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce of Greenville, Mississippi, to further these objects." "This committee as a whole, or any individual member of it, will give a patient and considerate hearing to any suggestion, proposition or question along the lines indicated above; from any respectable Negro in the community. This is an invitation to the confidence of the Negroes of Greenville and Washington Counties, extended by this committee in behalf of the white people of this community. "With confidence between the races there will be mutual benefit which suspicion and distrust or dislike would destroy. We wish to preserve the race relations among the present and coming generations which we see exemplified in the older citizens of the South." The Greenville statement, despite its reservations, is a step far in advance of the statement coming out of Bogalusa. It takes no very close reading to see that Greenville does not for a moment want it understood that it considers that the Negro should enjoy now or hereafter the full rights and privileges of the white man, but it does stand for fairer play, greater justice and more humane consideration for the Negro than he now receives; it marks a step toward co-operation and unity of interests between the races. The Bogalusa statement, on the other hand, is a step backward. It does not accord the Negro the common rights of a human being, much less the rights of free men and citizens. It talks about not intending "to sit supinely by and allow any encroachment on the heritage left us by our lathers who made the tremendous sacrifices in Reconstruction Days." Of course, this is merely a discharge of rhetorical hot air which is so freely generated in the South. Whether the men of Bogalusa sit supinely by or not, they will find that they can no more keep "the heritage of their fathers" left from Reconstruction Days than they could keep the heritage left from Slavery Days. Yet, both of these statements are based upon one common error. It is the desire and plan in both of these statements to fix a place for the Negro, to perpetuate a status for him. It is true that Greenville wishes to fix the place a good deal higher than Bogalusa does, but it wishes to fix it, nevertheless. Bogalusa wants the Negro's place to be that of a virtual peon without any rights, not even the right to read his own race publications. Greenville wants to re-establish the old order which was exemplified in the relations between the Southern aristocracy and the Negro of bygone days, a relation in which there was consideration, tolerance, helpfulness, generosity, kindness, and even affection on the part of a superior for an inferior. A relationship based on the principle of noblesse oblige. In the conquest for ascendancy between the Southern sentiments expressed by Bogalusa and those expressed by Greenville, we want to see Greenville win. At present, Bogalusa is a long way in the lead. It sometimes seems a hopeless task to get even the sentiment of Greenville accepted as the majority sentiment of the South. And after that is done there is still a long, long way to go. Both Greenville and Bogalusa have yet to learn that no adjustment of the race situation can be successful or permanent which attempts to place limitations on how far and how high the Negro progresses. The only adjustment that can stand will be one based on the right of every individual to go as far and as high as his powers and ability enable him to go. There is another phase of this matter which must not be overlooked. Some of us have at times his aid with such grateful points to what the Greenwich man says that we forget or wanted to forget what the Higgins man says. Other whom one of our white men of the South, with the words of his service tarries, there have been those who were prone to skimp up at a sign of a first apprehension and to proclaim that it is not consent, the fact that the man of the White man is a whole sort of police and a sensible to the contrary. This is provided that the man could burst his heart with the humour of the sweet gave him a quarter, the troying his house. He is not a man who is not for the quarter, but his chief business is to jail the crowd that was despoiling his life. We may thus us show due appreciation for what the Greenwich man may do, but we must not forget that it is our business just to have the police on the Bogalusas. The astonishing growth of the West Coast of Africa in the cacao industry has started the trade in this country, the headquarters for which is in New York. This growth is indicated in the import statistics for the past six years, which show that nearly 30 per cent of the cacao imported comes from these new fields. As a result of this, a trade writer on the subject question whether or not cacao in Latin America is to suffer the fate of its old rival, rubber. He concludes: It is generally considered, however, that the growth in demand will more than keep pace with the growth of the supply, and at the present there is little likelihood of the South American cacao exporters lacking a market for their output. In the foremost the prosperity of the West African producers is reflected by the flood of exports, ranging from silk clothes to autos, marked for such points as Lagos, Acra, Secondi and other places on the West Coast. In the Baltimore Commonwealth, the Rev. George F. Brage, Jr., recently emphasized the necessity of the black man to the white man's salvation. He said among other things, "The black man has many needs, as a young and aspiring race, which his white brother can supply. On, the other hand, the white man has the greatest of all needs, and his black brother can and will help him in this matter. The white man's salvation demands a greater inflow into his nature of spiritual power. Through guidance of suffering the black man has acquired the art of spiritual power, and he is ever about his Father's business, in seeking to spurnalize his white brother. He knows 'spirituality' is the need of his brother, for alas, he has and is suffering humiliation because of this lack upon the part of his white brother." Editor Roscoe Dainjee of the Black Inpatch, published at Oklahoma City, paid his respects to the departing year as follows: "So here's to 1919, the year that marks an epoch in the life of black folk, the beans have been stirred in our pot as never before, let us walk out into the great unknown of 1920, with our faces turned toward the Stars of Hope, for ever did they shine so bright as now. The God of Isaac and of Jacob has parted the Red Sea and we have crossed, Allah's hosts are after us and we can hear their wall from the Potomac to the delta, but we must CARRY ON, we are bound for the promised land." After that exordium, all should feel encouraged to take up the burdens of the new year with renewed vigor and courage. A lawyer's card published in the Detroit Leader, after starring the "Law of Domestic Relations" in bold type, conveys the information that the legal luminary in question "is 52 years of age, is a graduate of the University of Michigan Class of 1890 and has been in continuous Legal Practice in Detroit for 30 years." Now, if it had added how long he had been married and what church he attended, possible clients might be encouraged to call with a retainer. Only three talented counselors were appointed in St. Louis, Mo., which caused the Argus to remark: "The unanticipated clash as a response to the people of the question, as it was generally anticipated, than actual numbers" which he questioned in the tribes populated by the race, so that the census would be more accurate." Too much local political pap, to be handled carelessly outside of partisan lines. It has been announced that the Republic of Laiti has entered into an agreement with the United States to issue $40,000,000 in gold bonds to liquidate the present outstanding obligations. The agreement calls for the appointment of a commission of three members, one nominated by the Haitian Minister of Finance, one by the American Secretary of State and a third citizen of a neutral country. It will be interesting to observe the appointment of the American representative, in view of the fact that Southern whites were sent to Liberia to administer the financial affairs of the West African Republic. He has survey of Northern universities seeking recruits for social work. Alexander L. Jackson, educational secretary of the National Urban League states that he has located more than 400 Negro students with the entire field not yet covered. Altough he has not yet been able to reach any considerable number of these personally, he has already interested several splendid young men and women in social work as a vacation." This is the leaven that is already making its work felt in the development of the race. According to a letter in the Toreka Plaird-salter the Supreme Court of Colorado has decided favorably on the shoe-shining proposition. That is, a white man running a shoe-shining parlor violated the Civil Rights law when he refused to polish a customer's shoes because of color, on the part of the customer, not the shoes. Notwithstanding this decision, we expect a large number practising thrift and frugality, will continue to shine their shoes in the back shed. --- Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, the famous Jewish leader, when asked by a Chicago reporter for his views on rate segregation, replied "From my point of view we are all alike. Colored people are just as good as whites. I would rather have a good black neighbor than a poor white one." A very sound and sensible reply coming from the representative of a race that has endured centuries of oppression and yet resumes above it. STYLES FROM THE CONGO NOW then! All the styles are not coming from Paris, or from New York either. The latest hails from the Congo, from Africa. The belief of Paris are taking iodine baths to treat those dark complexions in keeping with the African styles and, Negro music now holding away. America is supposed to copy her styles from those of the gay capital of France. Imagine this latest vogue in effect on Fifth avenue or on our own broadway. It is to laugh. Not so, stranger things have happened. If one desires to develop an argument upon such a possibility, he may refer to accepted historical references establishing the fact that the Caucasian world is obliged, to the Dark Comment for much that it prides itself upon having originated. Some of the latest fashions of the semi-made can only be compared to those of dusky jungle maids who also wear their ankle bracelets. Time may not be so far distant when a larger part of the debt owed Africa may be more deeply acknowledged by a larger part of the world—Purdue (Ore.) New Age.

C.—The race riots in this city last July were recalled in two indictments returned by the Grand Jury. One charges murder in the first degree, and the other assault with a dangerous weapon. First degree murder is charged in an indictment against William Laney for the death of a young white man, Kenneth Graill, in Massachusetts avenue, the second night of the riot. George Dent, alias George Gentry, is charged with shooting, Ernest Giovanni the same night. Detective Scrivener she Gentry seven times, before effecting his capture. William H. Robinson, secretary for the Whitewater Hotel and Apartment House Corporation, and who was formerly engaged in the real estate business in Hampton, Va., just been admitted to practice law before the courts of Virginia. Mr. Robinson is a graduate of the Howard University Law School and of the Hampton Institute. R. W.

North Carolina Colored Men Work to Improve Rural Schools Rosenwald Fund Now Provides for Half of Expenses and Salary-Supervisor Moore Tells of People's Interest. Professor Charles H. Moore of Greensboro, N. C., is the supervisor of rural schools for Negro children in North Carolina, and an interesting fact in connection with his work is that he is employed by an organization of the patrons themselves, who guarantee the payment of salary and all expenses. When first selected for this work, Prof. Moore's salary and expense account was provided for entirely by the colored people, with Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, N. C., acting as treasurer of the fund. --- Recently Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago philanthropist, became interested in the rural school work and he has constituted a fund for aiding in the erection of modern, well-appointed buildings for these rural schools and this fund now guarantees the payment of one-half of Prof. Moore's salary and expenses. Under this arrangement, in addition to his duties as supervisor of rural schools Prof. Moore is also delegated as the Rosenwald agent for schoolhouse building in North Carolina. Under the provisions of this fund, a sum of $500 is provided by the commission handling the money of which Clinton J. Calloway of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., is secretary, and Wärren Logan of the same school is treasurer, whenever the local patrons raise a similar sum and when the proposed building is approved by the state educational authorities. Usually the state appropriates a like sum, the total amount being sufficient to erect a modern two-teacher school building with up-to-date equipment. Tella of a 60-Mile Trip. Prof. Moore, who was in New York City spending the holidays with members of his family, told some interesting stories of experiences had by him since engaging in this work, particularly since Mr. Rosenwald became interested and created the fund which bears his name. Many of the rural communities of North Carolina have taken advantage of this fund and are now housing their school children in comfortable, convenient buildings. An account of a trip taken by Mr. Moore on last Thanksgiving day will give a fair idea of the conditions under which a great deal of his work is accomplished. In response to a request from the editor of Tux Ace the following account has been written by Prof. Moore, giving the details concerning a trip from Greenisboro, his home, to Yadkinville, Yadkin county, a community situated among the mountains of the Piedmont escarpment, thirty miles from any railroad station. Mr. Moore's account of the trip is as follows: "As illustrating the great and unusual interest being manifested in North Carolina at the present time, in Mr. Julius Rosenwald's offer to aid our people to obtain a superior type of school building in the rural districts, in which their children may have a chance to acquire a useful education, I shall mention the following sample: "The week preceding Thanksgiving, I received a message from a friend that the parents in Yadkinville, Yadkin county, situated way back among the hills in the Piedmont section, thirty miles from any railroad station, wished me to come on Thanksgiving Day and tell them what they must do in order to get hold of the Rosenwald Aid to help build a school house for their children. "For they haven't had any school building, proper, of any kind whatever for years, their children being taught in the meaning,—about three months in the year,—mostly by so-called teachers, who, not being qualified to make even a third grade certificate, would be allowed to teach by the county superintendent, who would issue them a "permit." "I imagining that to make the round trip (about 60 miles) in an automobile, would cost not less than $15, I wrest my friend that, although writing, I obligated afforded to go, while doubt to be beheaded by my wizard dances on the re- sponable for the expense of transportation. He replied, without delay, that the patrons would be only too glad to look after that item in case I would go. Thanksgiving Morning Start. "Thanksgiving morning early, therefore, I made ready and went to Winston-Salem on the train." No sooner had I arrived than one of the patrons of the school community hailed me in the station and, after making himself known, told me that he had come to take me to Yadkinville. "Without any delay we got into his car, and with his son at the wheel, we went to the residence of the county justice of Forsyth county and took him to Forsyth county and took them after which we were soon on our way at the speed of twenty miles an hour. "When, we had gone about twelve miles, one of the front tires had a "blow out." This was quickly repaired and we were off again. During the next fifteen miles there were no fewer than five "blow out"s in one of the rear tires, causing much delay, incident to the repairing of the punctures. When the sixth and last accident happened, I became impatient, and suspecting that the patrons might think we were not coming, as it was long past the time for our arrival, suggested that we run the car the rest of the trip on the rim of the wheel. The suggestion was readily complied with and we finally reached our destination, the little church, where we found the people on the outside, standing around in groups, anxiously swaiting our coming. "Before we went into the church and the speaking began, I asked the owner of the car to look around in the community and see if he could not buy a new fire to replace the defective one, that might be able to return to Winn-Salem Sales. He had the last afternoon jank for home. He promised me to do the best he could." - Patrons Raised $425 "In the meantime we gathered in the church, where I made a talk to the parents on the value and necessity of properly educating their children. Then I told them what they, themselves must first do to become qualified for the Rosenwald help." "Having finished my talk, I asked for expressions from a few of the leading men in the community as to what they wanted, and intended to do to get it. They readily and cheerfully answered. "After which, I called "their hands" for a "show down" in cash and pledges for the new school house, and they gladly responded to the amount of $225 in cash and over $200 in subscriptions. "Being Thanksgiving Day, the good and thrifty housewives had brought along their baskets, filled with a variety of tempting edibles to satisfy, the "inner man" and, also, the "inner woman." So, after the speaking was over and the collection taken, the women began to prepare the "feast and I was invited to "pitch in" and enjoy myself." "But the sun was slowly sinking and we had thirty miles to cover in a relatively short time. I thanked my kind hessees and but reluctantly declined to accept of their generous invitation, as I didn't have time to stay to "the spread." However, said I "if you will, you may wrap up me on some of your nice things to say, which I shall gladly take home with me." He simply said then another women got busy and prepared a package, which was handed me, consisting of turkey, chicken, ham, backbone, sausage, country-made biscuits, cakes and pies of various kinds, pickles, etc. Car Had a New Tire "After loading me down with enough to last for two or three days and receiving a promise from me to return in the near future to assist them to raise their complete quota for the school house, we again entered the car, by this time furnished with a new tire. We were rapidly whirled away in one hour and fifteen minutes to Winston-Salem, in time to catch the six o'clock train for Greensboro. "The evident enthusiasm in school house building, as narrated in this article, can be duplicated in more than a score of similar instances which we have experienced and observed on our several timelines. For not since the period immediately following their emancipation, over fifty years ago, has there been such an awakening and so considerable interest manifested in the education of their children as the colored parent is now voluntarily exciving in the Old North State."

Sporting Notes The root wish to reinvent on how the long wait for games on the St. Christopher Athletic field has been American. "Ravaga" came to make a difference and on New Year's afternoon, Hunt came about if it wasn't the way we report it in history. If it was to be understood, however, it was already opposed to a repetition of such a demonstration. Hunt's basketball after season, has stood the test and proven to be the public's favorite indoor sport. The masses gave their support to this past pinnacle of achievement—the present team of players on the two teams in question have attained. But what these players of old lached in basketball knowledge, such as that has been drifted into the hands—the successful ones of to-day by paid coaches, coachedness and sportmanlike departments while on the court. The names of Charlie Green, Hidley Oliver, Babe Wage, Charlie Bradford and a score of others stood for good sportsmanship and coffeeheaded courtmanship. We can recall that it was the feature of one team's advertising that it never lost a game and even propped up its own decision. The must be given to these hysterical heroes for having the game clean. It is the duty of every captain and manager to impress on their charges the absolute necessity of keeping up the good work of their predecessors. Each man should feel obliged to show the best brand of play at his command to a faithful public that makes the journey up to witness an abnormous no-adverse, so advice should be gotten out of the sport. Better to the team of him, no matter what his caliber, than to kill the sport. It is displorable to know that we have heard one player boast of the fact that he is known as a dirty player—messing, of course, that he be commonly and mathematically involved, holding slugging exe., in order to defeat his opponent. We have followed his checkered career and note that he made little headway, even though he has tried his hand with various defenses. Next to the hot-headed player the greatest misdeed is the too enthusiastic, too careless, too hurried, too jerpurs dn in some young start, who rushes about through the crowded house, flashing a few green masks, inquiring who thinks well of the team to which he happens to be opposed. The quickest way to quiet him is to steer him into one of his kind from the oppo- Sadder still is the older booster who will oftimes winger wagers him can it afford on the outcome of some important game. Times have been known when these petty gamblers have raided out on the floor at the least contested between player and referee. They thereby call themselves protecting their money, but in fact they are only proving the old fool's fool: they no fool like an old fool" for the referee. They call a foul against the team in which they show interest, Cluba and promoters should bend every effort to erect or at least quiet these nuisances and thereby retain the patronage of many respectable people who wish to attend a game without feeling that they are at a half fight or an American Monte Carlo. On January 21 the St. Christopher Machine will meet the Spartan Bowes well contested game is expected. What a win for the Spartan! One of the fastest games to be witnessed this season is to be expected Friday evening when the Spartan "Hornets" meet the St. Christopher "Tigers" at Manhattan Casino. Neither team has lost a game this season and a win for either will put it in a contending position for the highweight championship. The Spartan will face an opponent between the Spartan Brewers and the team named Alpha Big Face. Humor has it that the Big Five will spring the biggest surprise of the season Friday night. Again, their tremendous defeat at the hands of the Baronet Brees! It was the general opinion that they were done for the basketball for this season. The Spartan Alpha police. They are not boasting the promise to come right back like the Big Lives of score. Vandah Beat Pollard Artistic City, N.

Well, the National Championship is over. Again "Bom" demonstrates his nerve to play championship games, while Old Folks" lives in a through understanding as to billiard strategy. One of the facts is that he is one of the boys over there covered in gry more than "Old Folks" covered in his getting second money. He offers his opponent from A to Z. The meekness of rubber cushions was cleverly demonstrated in the game he was扮演er and Crafford and Kanye when he got to be able to save himself from defeat. At that it was glorious to run around. He again showed his inability to play exhibition games, though he was really the class of the tournament. He demonstrated the fact by capturing the two pennants for the high run and the low run. Although his average was Tiny, he is possible he won't try again to play in championship. Nik Kurtz took with our game from the weak team, first forward, who forced heyday to the "defender," not stopping him during the game.

And in order to obtain his permission as truth, he pails to the imply by naming the money to cover it. To outsiders, principally, this task would make President Fountain look like he has a mania on monetary greed and whish monopoly. But what is the real truth of the matter?

Summons is fishing around in the big pond of prejudice, pure and simple, for something to block the way to Dr. W. A. Fountain, Georgia's candidate for Episcopal honors at our forthcoming general conference. This good elder reaches the big hold tact that Dr. Fountain is a clean, intelligent, scholarly, cultured, dignified, progressive, resourceful, magnetic fullfledged Christian gentleman with a big future and a cultured wife and family; therefore he attempts to destroy all of this with his clever truck. He is a past master of the 'clean' whose policy is, "If I can't, you shouldn't." Why the elder turns turtle right in the presence of men and women, saints and sinners, and hits on his feet and 'blabs out' "georgia will stand by another man for the bishopric." And he knew when he said it that the delegates in council assembled had indorsed Dr. Fountain. "I'll Georgia intends, as Presiding Elder Simmons says, to stand by the man he names in his article, please tell me why they refuse to say so in the council. Georgia delegates certainly have backomes and the moral courage to operate them. Why don't the good elder he fair. Certainly we don't claim that every delegate in Georgia will vote for me. Dr. Fountain, neither will every delegate in any given section vote for the candidate of that section. But you do claim, and that with the records of those stretched out before me, that Dr. Fountain is the choice of Georgia for Personal honors, made so by the votes of the delegates' council called for that particular purpose. And better still: you may tell all of your readers and the delegates of the forthcoming general conference, too, that we are going to St. Louis, Mon, next May, God willing, standing together for Dr. W.

But I will give him $100 for every young man who has any standing in Georgia that he can get to tell the public that Dr. Fountain has even intimated such a thing to him.

By his life and labors and by his diligent efforts he has made himself equal to the tasks that confront the church and race in this the "dawn of a New Day." "Again, Elder Simmons said that 'Dr. Fountain's desire to be bishop was so strong he has Dr. J. T. Hall of Macon, on the road canvassing for him.' But I, J. T. Hall, can truthfully say, that it is not true, and for the life of me, I cannot see any motive that could actuate such a charge, save the prejudice and hate which Elder Simmons has not been able to hide for several years. He is in the process of organizing seems to be mad because God has allowed Dr. Fountain to live long enough to show his fitness and ability for greater things in the church. "Now what is the real truth in this whole matter. The delegates that elected me leader of the Georgia delegation advised me to go to any conference or episcopal district where I thought I could form a friendly combine with other delegations. I went to the South Carolina Conference, which convened in Charleston, S. C., on the seventeenth of December. I have not visited any other because I thought that the most opportune time to meet the representatives of the various delegations would be in February at the Bishop's Council in Baltimore, Md. And if the good news is that we give the health and strength I will be there, no one in employee of Dr. Fountain's, but as a representative of the delegates of Georgia, with a force behind me that has complete control of seventy of the eighty-ninth votes that Georgia will carry to St. Louis, Mo., next May. "Georgia was very unexpectedly misrepresented and defeated four years ago by a few malicious tricksters, and they have done their best with their anonymous letters to prevent Dr. Fountain from succeeding as president of Morris Brown University, but with his cool and deliberate disposition, he moved the records to the University's Tuesday records show that Morris Brown University is in the best condition it has ever been since its organization, and for this the most influential men in With doplexion? of a Freckled, in the use of the Black and rough, several but will amaze and de- doplexion.

To the Editor of this paper: All the old man of Georgia desire to thank you for the gift that appeared in your excellent paper last work. All Georgia is afire. Your agents here could not furnish them with enough papers. The trickster of Georgia has wanted to know whether I was in favor of Bishop Elipper's return. Yes, since Georgia wants him back and since he wants to come. I can work under him. He is my friend and I will do anything I can for him. It is that "Shadow" who wants to be Bishop at any coat. He is writing to all the little men, especially his students, appealing to them to write him up. He has two of his benchman working for him who don't stand for much. One is a divorced man in charge of one of the largest churches in Georgia. The other is a man whose daughter graduated from some other school, but she has been brought to Morris Brown and given letters from Morris Brown that don't know anything about the salary. This same man has never patronized Morris Brown, and yet he is to be the president when the "Shadow" is elected Bishop. The president has been away from the school for two months contrasting for the bishopric. It prems he can't go to the conference, make his speech and return to the school as did Hammond, Flipper and Lee. He gets to the conferences before most of the man do his brother and son are all on the job. He lost nearly two months last spring in Northwestern University trying to graduate. This president has just finished. He has a long list of titles attached to his name and yet some my he is lame in his language. He has threatened to take away one young man's hard-won scholarship because the young man has a mission at which to preach. This "Shadow" always suspends any minister's boy from the school whose father does not fall down to him. Almost any of the advanced students will tell you that he stays away from the school so much that interest has run down. This is one of the schools run by the president and yet he wants to be Bishop so badly that you are afraid to any thing about it. He was in South Carolina last week whispering to President Mance. These two young presidents are just going into the bishopric anyway. Since they are making our schools stepping stones to the bishopric I am in favor of electing a layman as our next president. Dr. R. H. Singleton will make a good Bishop. If a man is rotten before he is made Bishop he will be a rotten Bishop. We will come again soon. Expect us most any time. (Signed) P. G.

It will be fitting to narrate on the completion of his centenary a few incidents of the great work and sacrifice made by him in fighting for the cause of his race and for mankind in general. The Boston Globe in an editorial on his death July 23, 1903, rated him as probably the foremost colored man in this country. George T. Downing was born in New York on December 30, 1819. His father, Thomas Downing, was one of the leading oyster dealers in New York. Establishing himself in business soon after the war of 1812 in Broad street, where now stands the Drewell building, Thomas Downing (the father) became noted for oysters and not long before he was the leading dealer of people in the city for his customers. In 1847 he picked a ring of his choice oysters and sent them to Queen Victoria. Her Majesty was so pleased that she sent the donor in return a gold chronometer inscribed with her initials. George T. Downing followed his father in the same business and in time had establishments in New York, Boston, Providence, Newport and Albany. He was for twelve years proprietor of the Home Restaurant at the Capitol Building, Washington and this corporation became one of the noted politicians of the time. Married in 1841. On November 24, 1841, he married Serena L. de Grasse. Her father, George de Grasse, was a native of Calcutta. His Hindoo name was Asor. Count de Grasse on going to Calcutta met him and as he was such a handsome boy he took him to Paris, adopted and educated him. Mr. Downing made Newport, R. I. his home during the greater part of his life and it can be said he did much to make Newport what it is to-day. He started in business, corner of Cathering and Fir streets, in 1846, and soon after bought one of Newport's old landmarks in State street, foot of what has since been known as Downing street, where he catered to the summer colony. In 1854 he built the Sea-Girl Hotel, which he sumptuously furnished as a resort for the wealthy. December 15, 1860, an incendiary torch was put to the building, causing a loss of $40,000. Being undaunted he immediately had the present building erected, which is known all over the world as the famous Downing Block, it being the first of stores built in Bellevue, the city of business and business people from other cities to come to Newport. The upper part was rented to the Government as a hospital to the Naval Academy, which was stationed at Newport during the Civil war. Mr. Downing's name is associated in Newport's history with the Old Stone Mill. Judah Touro left $10,000 for a public park; the land upon which the old mill stood was selected for the purpose. Gov. William C. Gibbs, who owned the land, refused to sell it for less than $16,500. The city would not make good the difference. Rather than lose the advantage of the liberal benefits, Mr. Downing balanced, to which Mr. Downing was a large contributor; he was the host of the sixteen to pass away. The park is now known as Touro Park. Hla Civic Activities Bellevue aviation was open only to Perry street. Mr. Downing was one of a committee appointed to have it opened to Bally's Beach, which since has been the most fashionable drive in the country. He gave land to the city for a street which was named after him. He was named for the Collectorship of the port of Newport under the Secretary of the Treasury, George S. Boutwell, the late George H. Norman, Col. T. W. Higginston and Charles Sumner standing as his sponsors. He declined, saying he felt that if he accepted the office he would be obliged to relinquish much of his work for his people. Mr. Downing's public career began when he was but a youth. When fourteen years old he organized a literary society with a number of boys of his own age in which they discussed "live subjects," and adopted a resolution to refrain from celebrating the Fourth of July because in practical lines the Declaration of Independence was to the colored American a perfect mockery. He helped spirit away "Little Henry," the slave boy who was put in jail in New York. He was arrested but matters were compromised, the value of the slave being paid. Mr. Downing attended school in New York, pursued classical studies and had the opportunity for instruction finishing with collegiate quaintness Hamilton College. In early life he took an active part in organizing, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, of which he was Grand Master for several years in connection with the sub-committee of management for the Continent of America. He was also active in Masonic circles, being a Royal Arch Mason. Oranized Negro Troops. He was instrumental during the Civil war in forming several colored regiments in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, but not until he obtained from Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts written assurances that he would exert the whole power of the State to square for every soldier equal and exact justice to prevent any discrimination on account of color. He was made Brigadier Quartermaster by Secretary of War E. M. Stanton, for the colored troops. Mr. Downing's writing and speaking for his people attracted much attention. He spm became noted for the part he took for humanity and it was not long before the prominent men looked upon his as a leader among them. He took an intimacy with Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Theodore Parker, Frederick Douglas, Charles Summer, the early abolitionist. His acquaintance with the public men of the country was very wide; he knew personally Henry Clay, Gen. Grant, Daniel Wagner, Horace Greely, Ralph Waldo Emerson, John G. Whitman, Seymour A. Douglas, and many others. At the quincers attending the opening of the Erie canal he met W. H. Seward, Jefferson Davis, Daniel Webster and many other notable characters, and was pleased to remember that on that occasion Seward placed his hand on his shoulder and said to Jeff Davis, "This is one of my constituents of whom I have proudly become one of the leading politicians, he was much sought after and conceived upon matters of legislation.

J. was curiously pondered by Horace Greeley. Stood or Rights of All. While Mr. Downing's chief services and the great sacrifices he made were for his own race, he always stood ready to rebuke every infraction upon the rights of his fellowmen, irrespective of race, color or previous condition. He came to the aid of the foreign citizen who could become American citizens so as to vote without being obliged to come under the property qualification. He was one of the first to greet Louis Kosorth to this country and was selected by a committee to deliver the address of welcome to that illustrious Hungarian patriot. He was appointed by Gov. Davis of Rhode Island to meet the delegation from the British Parliament to discuss arbitration rather than war. The Irish upon receiving their full franchise, in recognition of Mr. Downing's services rallied around him with their support in helping him in his fight to open the public schools for the colored children. Mr. Downing had the distinction of having read his obituary in the newspapers a year before he died. On dining with the Governor of Rhode Island, the news, was sent to the press, a mistake being made in using the word dying in of dining. It was flashed over the wires that George T. Downing was dead. Having passed an excellent life in which he devoted its usefulness, for the benefit of his fellowmen, he died July 23, 1903. Everett, Mass. NEW ROCHELLE N.Y. NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. New Rochelle, N.
