Mother Zion Church Expansion During Pastorate of Dr. Brown Ceremony Will Beat Central Park-Another Review on May 13 at 7th Reg't Armory by Major General Appleton. The month of May marks the climax of the public activities of the 15th Infantry. New York Guard, for the present season, and is to be made notable by two great reviews and entertainments, on May 15th and 21st, which will be the finest military and social functions the regiment has ever given. To make these occasions especially brilliant and complete, an invitation has been extended to a dozen veterans of the 369th Infantry to participate, and it is evidently expected that these two occasions will confirm the universality of the 15th Infantry as the foremost representative of the military district.

Following the banquet a great theatre party has been arranged for the soldiery. Overseas Veterana Invited Col. Arthur Little is sending a personal letter to the American Legion Posts of Harlem and Brooklyn, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, inviting them to join the members of the 15th Infantry and the Veteran Association of the 50th Infantry in parading in compliment to Leuc.

They will be asked to consider themselves members of the 5th Infantry on the two occasions and the rank of duty in unfitness to well the rank of the organization to such numbers as will make the regiment truly representative of Harlem.

The band of the 15th Infantry, which will be on duty at the State-Camp, Peekskill, during the month of May, will be brought back to town especially for these two functions. Practically every commissioned officer of the regiment has been ordered to attend the officer's school at Peekskill during the month of May, and in addition a service detachment from the regiment will be on duty at the camp throughout the time.

The right to this pay only comes after a regiment has been recognized by the War Department, and it will be a valuable asset of membership in Harlem's crack military organization. As the 369th infantry the regiment will have the right to have the names of its battles embroidered upon the streamers of its colors and the name of the battle for it was cited in orders carried upon its regimental flag. In addition, the regiment will eventually be granted the honor of wearing upon the uniform, the sleeves of the coat a silver star, to distinguish its soldiers as members of an organization that was cited in order for bravery in action. It is understood that no other New York regiment will wear the cation star, which will make the men of the 369th conspicuous wherever they go. Every member of the regiment will be entitled to wear this silver star when the War Department grants it to the 369th for its French citation, irrespective of whether he served in France or not. It is understood that the 8th Illinois will also be given federal recognition and again assigned to the 93d Division. The two regiments will be brigaded together for war services and combined into one corps as in the 185th Brigade. APASSIONNIA CHURCH FILES WALKING PLANS Abyssinian Baptist Church which recently purchased a freeway of 159 feet at No. 132 in 142 West 130th street, has work, filed plans for a one-story church on a 109-foot plot, costing $173,500 and a $200,000, three-story community house on a fifty-foot plot. Plans for the structures were prepared by Charles W. Sylph & Sons of Philadelphia, Pa. Membership Increased in 8 Years From 300 to 3,000-IncomeLast Year,$49,182.28 Property Valued at $157,000 Eight years ago, Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, then located on West 89th street, was disrupted and disorganized as result of a change in pastors. The outgoing pastor took with him a considerable number of the church membership. This condition would have faced most ministers, but the new pastor, the Rev. James W. Brown, faced the difficult task with courage and determination to succeed. He soon impressed his personality and character upon the church body and upon the community, as well, and the measure of his achievements is to be found not only in the advance which is shown by cold, unsympathetic figures, but in the enthusiastic spirit permeating Mother Zion Church, and the esteem, respect and friendly consideration which is shown Dr. Brown by the entire people of New York (City). Official Statements From Southern State Officers Show Ku Klux Klan As Absolutely Ignoring Law's Demands Born in Elizabeth City, N. C., in 1872 he graduated from the college department of Shaw University, class of 1893. For six years he served as assistant principal of the State Normal School at Elizabeth City, N. C., but feeling a call to the ministry he entered the theological department at Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, finishing the course in 1903. He entered immediately upon the pastorate, but in the eighteen years of his ministry he has served but three charges—at Beth-hem, Pa., for two years, eight years at Favor Street A. M. E. Zion Church, Rochester, and then, in 1913, being sent to New York City to redeem and restore the Old Mother Church. TWO FIREMEN HURT IN 13TH STREET FIRE In answering an early Sunday morning alarm two firemen attached to the Hook and Ladder Co., No. 30, were injured. The fire, which burnt out the stairway at 101 West 130th street, also ruined the apartments, on the top floor of that building, and much damage was done to several other apartments, by the murder. In reaching tenants fireman Robert Montgomery fell through the partially burned stairway from the fifth floor to the ground floor. He was removed to Harlem Hospital for treatment. The other fireman who was injured was John Metz, who was thrown from the truck as it rounded a corner. Patrolman Hyman Rosenburg also received minor injuries in saving a child from the building. Notwithstanding the protestations of Imperial Wizard Simmons that the revived Klu Klu Klan is primarily a law-abiding organization, recent developments indicate that it is either flagrantly violating the laws of the different states in which it claims to have a footnote or else it is deliberately making false statements as to its reputed strength. State officials in South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and Texas have made declarations to the effect that there is no record of permit or authorization for the Klan to operate in any of these states. The Journal and Carolina Spartan, published at Spartanburg, S. C., in a two-column editorial, gives a number of interesting facts contained in a letter received by Rev. Dr. S. T. Hallman, pastor of the Lutheran Church, and pastor of the Ministerial Association of Spartanburg, from Daniel A. Lindsay, president of the Tennessee Gravel Company of Nashville, Tennessee. Commenting on the correspondence, the Spartan's editor said—We have given so much space to the subject because we prefer the Law to the Mob; free men working out in the daylight rather than oathbound members of a secret Order passing its judgment and enforcing its decrees under cover in contempt of law." Officials Make Statements The Hon. Ernest N. Haston, Secretary of State of Tennessee writes that "all foreign corporations of whatever nature, are required to file a certified copy with this office," and that "I have searched the records in this office and am unable to find that there is such a charter on file here." The Hon. Fred A. Vangha, Secretary of Stage of Kentucky, writes: "In re Knights of Ku Klux Klan, a Corporation of the State of Georgia, we find no record of designation of agents for above Company." The Hon. R. T. Wilson, Clerk, of State Corporation Commission of Virginia, writes: "I beg to advise you that Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a Georgia Corporation is not authorized to transport its business of organizing Lakers in the State of Virginia." The Hon. C. W. Payne, Chief Clerk of the Department of State of the State of Texas, writes: "Beg to advise that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Alabama, Georgia, has moved from granted or permit to requested to administer by the State." In 1913, Mother Zion's active membership number 300. The chair of the conference year, May 10, 1921, finds more than 3,000 live members on the roll. The Sunday School has increased from 150 to 700 scholars, and the income of the church has increased from $8,394.63 in 1913-1914, to $89,182.28 for the year, June to May, 1920-1921. KILL EACH OTHER IN A DESPERATE HIKE DUEL Officers of the West 133rd street police station, summoned by some unknown caller on the telephone, went last Saturday night to 131 West 133rd street and found that John Jefferson and Andrew Blum had engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with knives, as a consequence of which both are dead. Jefferson, aged 40, a longshoreman, of 60 East 134th street, had viewed the house, finding Blum, aged 35, also a longshoreman, already a sailor. Imagine of a fifth floor apartment believed that a quarrel had ensued between the two and quickly drew knives and stained lighting. Blum was found in the apartment, with three women standing over him, still alive, but he died before reaching Harlem Hospital. Desperately wounded as he was, Jefferson managed to crawl to the first floor and the officers stumbled over his body at bottom of the stairway. The Hon. W. B. Dove, Secretary of State of South Carolina, writes, In re Knights of the Ku Klux Khan Corporation of State of Georgia, it has ordered that the Company qualifying to do business in this State. Self-Constructed Publicity Mr. Lindsey's letter declared that "through the natural tendency of the press to use any matters of marked sensation," the Ku Klux Klan "has enjoyed a very wide self-constructed public." But he cited the fact that the same papers which carried the news stories, gave strong editorial condemnation to the Invisible Empire and its plans. Reference is made to opposition to the Order developed at various points in the South, including excretions from ministers' associations, United Daughters of the Confederacy, state officials, mayors of cities and United States Senators. "The press was very hesitant in accepting at their face value the proclamations issued from the home office of the order, which is said to be in a post office box in Atlanta, Ga., declaring the order to be lawful, law-abiding and law-sustaining." Continuing, Mr. Lindsey wrote: "It is evident that the officials of the State of Georgia have reached this same conclusion, as a considerable body has petitioned the Governor of the State to interpose against its further organization and propaganda. This petition came after a public statement issued by the Governor citing and condemning certain elements of propaganda, which the Governor citing vhijagh shrubi shrubi denounced as false. These matters were carried in the Georgia press of March 21 and 22, and the petition of the citizens published as a later date. Doubt Order's Sincerty "To sustain the doubt as to the sincerity of the said order or its officers in the declaration that it is law-abiding and founded for the promotion of law and order, it is cited that the Imperial Wizard, reported in his speech at Birmingham, housed in his speech at New York City, 'understanding the order of the Mayor to the Chief of Police, stating that they were there just the same, despite the Chief of Police, who couldn't find even if the Mayday did sic 'nic 'on.' Further, that the order is reported to have sent all the lights in the city of Jacksonville, Florida, for the conduct of one of its pursuers and for the disproportion of the punishment. S. JAMES W. BROWN One of the first propositions taken up by Dr. Brown was the removal of Mother Zion congregation from West 99th street to Harlem. The property of the Church of the Redeemer, a white congregation located at 151-153 West 130th street, was acquired and alterations and improvements costing $50,000 were made. This property is valued at $100,000. The residence next door to the church, at 155, was purchased for $12,000, and fitted up as a parapage, and the congregation left the isolated down town location and came up into Harlem, where members of the race had largely settled. Expansion of church activities made necessary the acquisition of additional room, so the large and commodious building, 129 West 130th street was purchased and equipped as a Brotherhood House, with a valuation of $16,000, and here, in addition to the social service activities of the church, the pastor has hit comfortable office where of our $45,000, upon which we were (Courtesy of Brotherhood House). HEED NOTON'S ADVICE, SAYS SCHOOL TRUSTEE (Special to TU, New York Age) Snow Hill, Ala. — I am a Southerner, having been born in the State of Tennessee. I have lived for many years in Texas and Alabama. During these years I have studied the Negro, the white man and the scaled race problem, and I am of the opinion that if we, both white and black, follow the advice which Dr. Motson has given us today, there will be no problem, said E. L. Cunningham, former principal of the Farnum High School and now a prominent white planner of Wilcox County, following the address delivered by Dr. Robert R. Motson, principal, Tuskegee Institute, at the twenty-sixth annual commencement exercises of the Snow Hill Institute, of which W. J. Edwards, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute is the founder and principal. More than eight hundred white and colored citizens were present at this exercise and heard Dr. Motson's address. His remarks throughout were characterized by the utmost frankness and his advice was timely and sincere. The effect of his address is clearly shown in the above quotation from the remarks of a Trustee of Snow Hill Institute. The graduating class was compared of nine young men and women. And further, in Birmingham, an automobile parade was conducted with masked and sheeted figures, the license numbers of the automobiles being concealed. "All of these things may be regarded as 'straws' to show which way the wind blows." But this order stands before the public as absolutely and completely lawless in all of the conduct of its business in so far as it has undertaken any business, throughout almost the whole Southland. This being absolutely the case of its organization or attempts to organize in the states of Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Virginia. Ignored Law's Requirements "In all of these states there are laws and requirements, clearly stated on their statutes, with which a foreign corporation must comply before it can legally transact its business within the state. This compliance or any attempt to make this compliance has been totally and utterly ignored by this Atlanta Corporation. This is true even if they were undertaking to operate under their character, said to be granted in Georgia in the year 1916, but through all of the self-distributing publicity of this order, it proclaims itself to be operating under a charter in Georgia granted in December, 1915. The only charter granted on this date, is a charter for the organization of a fraternal insurance order under teh name of the Knights of the Ku-Kulz Khan, so that in so far as they are an insurance order and operating as such and in so far as they proclaim to be operating under the charter of 1915, they are in an utterly attitude and outlawed under their method of procedure in every state in the Union outside of Georgia. "But if the said order is operating under charter as a social order not issuing or offerin' insurance or benefits, equity agent or organizer, who has attempted or conducted the work of organizing the said order within the states of Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina or Virginia, is liable to penalty for every publication he has written, and it certainly is unjustifiable conclusion, that an order resting under the general suspicion, which has been rightly or wrongly have been attributed to it in the public mind, and which has thus openly and with clear intent defended the laws of the said states, should be once prosecuted by the constituted attorney, and, forever, prohibited from his writ of organization in case of said laws and all others." are Benefit Boys and Program at Lafayette T May 6th.

Dr. Brooks further declared that the members of the local board who had B. W. SMITH, REALTY MAN WELD IN $1000 BAL HELD IN $10,000 BAIL B. W. Smith, president of the Pilgrim Realty Corporation, and a well known real estate broker in Harlem, was recently held in $10,000 bail to wait the action of the jury on alleged charges of defrauding stockholders of the Pilgrim Realty company. Several weeks ago a number of stockholders of that company made complaint to the District Attorney, alleging that Mr. Smith had taken their money with the express promise to secure apartments for them, and had not done so. One stockholder stated that Mr. Smith took her to an apartment house and pointing to a certain apartment, told her that she would get that apartment if she put up a certain amount of money. It was later alleged that neither the Pilgrim Realty Company or Mr. Smith had an equity, in this property, nor did they have an option or lease on it. At that time Mr. Smith was released on $10,000 bail to await further investigation of his activities. This investigation has brought to light charges as serious that his bail has been increased to $10,000, and he was held in the Tennis courting the action of a grand jury.

Taylor, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., since their actions were not based on these publications. The board is not fighting Taylor, but Taylorism, as exemplified in his assumed attitude as regards the relation of his personal actions with his official position. "The question of our Y. M. C. A," said Dr. Brooks, "did not rise with the resigning members, but was brought to us by some of (a) the young men of the Association, (b) by parents and guardians on the behalf of their relations, (c) by some of the distinguished members remaining on the board." The ten men who resigned from the local board have issued a statement in reply to the statement issued by the eight remaining members, a synopsis of which was given in The Ann Ann week, which purported to give a true and definite account of the differences, including money paid by Negroes in the "Y," which have arisen concerning the retention of Taylor as secretary of the Harlem colored branch. The statement is as follows: THE EVASION STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS In a signed article appearing in issue of our papers last week, the Board of Directors assert that the colored people have thus far contributed $14,568.7. This is a mischievous half-truth. What are the facts in the case? When the new building was undertaken the colored people were asked to take $45,000 as their share. This they gladly assumed. But as we did not have the cash, we were forced to borrow that amount at the regular rate of 5 per cent. interest. The directors assured us that we could borrow that amount from them and this was done. The point is immaterial whether we borrowed the money in the open market or from the Dispossessors they had taken. --- st, - © a “> $98 NEW.

The notice, For Sale To Negroes Only," it is said, is frequently posted on homes and apartments, so as to force white people to buy in order to prevent the so-called Negro invasion of white settions. The Rev. E. H. Stark, pastor of the Bison Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, in discussing this species of sharp practice, was reported by a local reporter as follows: 1. "My people strongly resent this exploitation. They know, as white people know, that the owner of the property advertises in this way only to get a high price for his house. It is nothing more nor less than a trick to locate the white neighbors." Instances of this kind of exploitation of the color line by real estate dealers were furnished in the same paper, as follows: Recently, advertisements in the papers that owners would sell to colored people have been followed by strong opposition from organized property owners in the neighborhood of the property involved. Following the advertisement inserted by Aquain Backman, at 288 8th street, that he would sell to colored people the apartment building 188 to 392 8th st., prominent residents and property owners in the neighborhood held a meeting and appointed former Assemblyman Albert Link to visit Mr. Backman for the purpose of disdissing him from selling his property to colored people. Mr. Backman informed Mr. Link, that he would prefer to find a white buyer, but he had tried without satisfactory results, and that when he offered it to colored people he had received a prompt reply from a firm of Negro investors. When A Prince, owner of the dwelling at 110 Linden ave., advertised on March 27 that he would sell the two-family dwelling in the finest section of Flatush" to Negroes, neighbors expressed indignation at Mr. Prince's offer. One of the applicants for the property was the Rev. Samuel L. Arlington, colored, pastor of the Salem Baptist Church, Snyder avenue and Prospect place. He said Mr. Prince wanted $20,000 for the house. Real estate men in Flatush who heard of the figure asked of the minister remarked that $10,500 would be high for the dwelling. Another house in Flatush recently offered to colored people for $16,500, was valued at $10,000 by real estate men of the locality. The Park Slope property in question is located in a neighborhood where there are no Negroes and the offer is being regarded by neighbors as a scare that they might be tempted into purchasing the building at a price to prevent the owner from carrying out his threat. It will be seen from the foregoing that white property owners and real estate dealers are not averse to turning a more or less honest dollar by selling property in "white sections," so-called, to Negro owners, if they can get their price. And it is seldom that the loudest protester against the entrance of the colored owner is willing to pay for his prejudice to the extent of digging down in his pocket and putting up an equal amount to secure the property. The exploiting of the color line in offering property for sale is inequitable and only leads to hard feeling. Let each piece of property be sold on its merits, and let a ban be put on the notion. "For Sale—To Negroes Only." Refuse to serve as pawns in any real estate bunge game. PROPER REPRESENTATION PROPER REPRESENTATION As essential an element of a well rounded citizenship as the right to vote is the right to hold office. A citizenship won by faithful service to the State, and to the Nation entitles its holder both to the privilege of the franchise and proper representation in holding office. Being confident that this principle of citizenship is fully recognized by the present National Administration, Tate Act is solicitous that the principle of proper representation in office should be based on the selection of the candidates, and those that are fit in the highest transcription of the term. Character and capability should be the outstanding tests as to competency to all offer. The matter of race should not be allowed to act as a smoke screen, either a barrier or a protection. No incompetent should be allowed to谋杀 the problem that they are not capable of killing. Neither should men of easy strength and huge strength be impelled on to attack. Let a keen scrutiny be exercised in the matter of all candidates for political office, both as to their public and private records. There are too many men of the race of irreproachable character and proved fitness for office, for any risks to be taken by the selection of the unit and incompetent. Let us have proper recognition in the disposition of the offices, but let us help to bring about such proper representation by undersigning only candidates of proved fitness and character. VITAL POINT IGNORED In the multiplicity of letters and statements issued in the controversy affecting the usefulness of the 135th street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, the representatives of the Central Board seem to persistently ignore the vital point at issue. This is the welfare of the Branch work as it is affected by the reflection cast upon it by the actions of the executive secretary for the past eight months. All kinds of extraneous matters have been hauled in to obscure the real facts that should count in this case. The life history of Taylor has been written into the record, with charges and counter-charges that had no relation to the facts that led up to this situation and brought about the resignation on the majority of the members of the local board of management. The only paragraph in the letter of the Central Board dated April 25, 1921, that seemed to relate to the matter at issue, namely, Mr. Taylor's usefulness as secretary, was the following: We could not afford to and would not do any injustice to Mr. Taylor or the public in a matter as serious as this one is. We have sought proof of the charges made without success. If they had been substantiated, of course we would have favored Mr. Taylor's dismissal immediately, but inasmuch as the exact opposite is the case there is absolutely nothing for us to do but to stand by him. But the charges referred to were those published by a local paper, which were never substantiated nor brought before the local committee of management The charges affecting Mr. Taylor's usefulness, growing out of the relations existing between him and a young woman employee, constituted the ground for the local board requiring his resignation. This situation had continued for eight months, working great harm to the morale of the institution, through Mr. Taylor's defiance of public sentiment. This is the vital point that the Central Board seems determined to ignore. Why this indifference to the welfare of the institution and continued support of an executive secretary, who has defied the moral sentiment of the community? SALVATION ARMY DRIVE The drive in behalf of the Salvation Army, to raise funds for the furtherance of its work, should receive a hearty response among all sorts and conditions of people. Especially is this true as to the Negro people, because they realize that this is one of the few organizations whose work of relief among the soldiers abroad was not restricted by the badge of color. Further reason for responding to this appeal is the fact that the work of the army has extended to all quarters of the globe without boundary lines drawn on racial distinctions. A few months ago we read of a party of Salvation Army workers leaving for Africa on their universal mission of aiding to raise up the man who may be down, but, who is never out, so far as their aid is concerned. It is this spirit of wholesheared, unrestricted service that has won for this organization the respect and esteem of all races and creeds. Help the present drive by a ready and cheerful contribution. A FINANCIAL MILESTONE The announcement that the Comptroller of the Currency had issued a charter for the first national bank to be controlled by Negroes marks a financial milestone in the history of the race in this country. This first financial institution to take advantage of the privilege of doing business under the national banking laws of the United States is located in Chicago and bears the name of the Douglass National Bank of Chicago. This choice of name recalls the fact that Frederick Douglass was made the president of the Freedmen's Savings Bank at Washington a few months previous to its failure in, 1873, with the hope that the prestige of his name would restore the confidence then waning in that institution. But mismanagement on the part of the white men who controlled that institution had gone too far to be corrected by such measures. In the fifty years that have elapsed since that time many banking ventures have been started by members of the race, but all under the laws of the various states or as private enterprises. Some have survived the perils of financial waters and a recent magazine writer put the number of banks pow owned by Negroes as more than one hundred. One of this number recently passed the million dollar mark in the total of its resumes. The stricter regulation of the banking and insurance business by State and National authority has tempted to lessen the number of "wild cat." enterprises in this field. To start a bank in most states nowadays, not only requires a certain amount of capital to be paid in in cash, but men of character and reliability to conduct its operations. Unless their conditions are compiled with, the charter will not be issued.

The contents of the pamphlet are grouped under four heads: A. The Negro Lynched; B. The Negro held in peonage; C. The Negro driven out by organized lawlessness; D. The Negro subject in individual acts of cruelty. Under these four heads Governor Dorsey cites 135 cases of mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia in the last few years. In only two of these 135 cases cited was there any allegation of crime against white women. In the columns of THE AGE last week there was given an advance summary of Governor Dorsey's statement, but the complete statement should be in the hands of every American citizen. There are cases given which are so brutal that they would tax the belief of those who are not already familiar with conditions in Georgia and other southern states. There are cases cited which are sufficient to drive colored readers to despair or anarchy. The most harrowing of these cases come under the head of "Individual acts of cruelty." From the dates given above in the Governor's statement, it is quite evident that this white man never served the sentence which was imposed upon him. There are many other cases given which are as bad and worse. In fact, we wish that the whole pamphlet could be reproduced, but the length of it forbids that. However, we are going to quote verbatim from Governor Dorsey's statement two cases in order to give a clear idea of conditions which the Governor has made public: "County No. 26—Cruelty of Drunken Sheriff "The sheriff of this County with two other men were in an automobile on the road to the County site. They were drinking. The sheriff asked a Negro in the road to get him a drink of water. The Negro answered that he was not at his own home, but that he supposed there would be no objection to getting him a drink of water. "The sheriff left the car and struck the Negro twice with a pistol. The man brought the water. The sheriff made him get in the car, carried him 300 yards, and made him leave the car and go into the woods, where he beat him with a pistol and stick. The bleeding Negro was forced into the car again and made to lie down. He was carried ten miles, the sheriff kicking him in the body and head. One eye was virtually knocked out. There the sheriff made him get out. He was beaten again on his naked body. The sheriff stopped to cut another stick, when one of his companions advised, the Negro to run if he wished to live. "This he did, hiding in the woods until later a passerby carried him into town. The sheriff was indicted for assault with intent to murder. He was acquitted." "The Negro beaten has the reputation of being a peaceable law abiding, hard working man. He was threatened with death, if he testified against the sheriff." We give below one other case: "County No. 21—A Thrifty Negro "Near a small town in fifty-eight or sixty years ago a little money with which, to of 140 acres, where he lived ten.

By work he accumulated a little money with which, ten years ago, he bought a farm of 140 acres, where he lived with his wife and twelve children. Three of his daughters were educated. They were school teachers. "A three-room house was on the farm. The farm was well stocked, the Negro owning in 1919 outright five mules, and having made payments on the purchase of a horse, a cow and thirty-five hogs. "During the war with Germany, this Negro family bought approximately $1,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and thrift stamps. The Negro headed an organization of Negroes, who raised between $10,000 and $11,000 for Liberty Bonds. His work was highly praised by newspapers at the time. "A white man, who can neither read nor write, owns a farm adjoining the farm of the Negro. When the articles praising the man for his war work appeared, the white man remarked: '... it's getting too damned prosperous and biggie for a nigger. Trouble began. "The white man had his land processioned. The Negro had no representative present." The procession ran the man's line twenty-five feet over the Negro's line, across a terrace, which had been there since the Negro was a child working for the family from whom he bought the land. The deed given to him covered the land to this terrace. "The white man crossed the terrace, drove stakes along the new line, and warned the Negro not to cross the line. The Negro disregarded the warning and continued to plow to the terrace, as he had been doing since boyhood. "Blacks and whites from the country crowd the town Saturday afternoons. One Saturday, the fall of 1919, the Negro with his three daughters and son came to town. The town marshal approached the Negro in the street and said: 'I have a warrant for you.'" "The Negro answered: 'Mr... what have I done?' Read your warrant." "The Marshal replied with an oath that he would rather kill the Negro than read the warrant. "Here the evidence varies. The Negro had a stick in his hand. Some say that the marshal, who is large and powerful, grabbed the stick and struck the Negro in the face with a pistol, knocking him down. Others state that the Negro, raising his stick, backed away, when the marshal rushed in and struck him to the ground with his pistol. Several other white men rushed upon him and began to choke and beat him. "Two of his daughters started to him. A man kicked one girl in the stomach. The other reached her father and began to wipe the blood from his face. The three were quickly overpowered. The third daughter and the son were caught. All were locked in jail. The girl who was kicked was menstruating. The blow made her deathly sick. She lay in jail moaning and begging that, something he done for her, and her father, who was bleeding badly from his wounds. The sheriff locked them in and left them without medical attention and ignorant of the charge against them. Next morning the Negro learned that his neighbor had sworn out a warrant against him for trespass. The sheriff refused to tell him what the charge was against his son and daughters. The Negro employed a lawyer. Then he found that he and his daughters were charged with resisting an officer in the discharge of his duty, his son with carrying a pistol. Only one witness claimed to have the crowd was on his father. The buggy was searched. The pistol was not found. "Talk of lynching the Negro and his family caused their removal to another county. A committee of citizens waited upon the judge of the circuit, who informed them, it is charged, that he would put the Negro, in the chain gang, when the case should come up for trial. "The man, his daughters and son were tried in the Superior Court. The father was sentenced to serve twelve months in the chain gang and pay a fire of $250.00. The girls were fined $50.00 each. The son was fined $100.00. The Negro paid the fines of his children. "The man's smaller children and his wife were in his home, while he was in jail. A mob led by the town marshal went to the house, kicked the door and demanded admittance, then shot up the house and went away. This was night. "Next morning, the woman, with her children, fled from her home, never to return. "A friend went by night and removed the live stock belonging to the family, and sold it for them at a great sacrifice. Their crop was a total loss. They will be lynched, it is said if any of them ever return to their home. "Reputable merchants and bankers in this county unite in giving the Negro and his family a good character. The son has been offered a loan of $450.00 by a leading farmer to pay a note, the holder of which threatened suit during these troubles. A leading merchant gave the father a line of credit running from $800.00 to $1,500.00 a year. 'One of the best citizens of the county signed his bond.' "The education of his children and the success of his thrift seem to be the sole offense of the Negro." The cases referred to and quoted above demostrate the far-reaching importance of Governor Dorsey's action. It took undoubted courage and something more than courage for the Governor to do what he has done. We know that for many years a small minority of high-minded southern white people have discussed the wrongs done to the Negro in the South and have deplored them, but they have done so behind closed doors. In this case we have Governor Dorsey and a few men like him proclaiming not only to Georgians but to the country at large the unspeakable conditions existing in their state. This is the sort of action that we have longed for on the part of "the better element." Following this pronouncement the better element in Georgia should rally around Governor Dorsey and his associates and thus make themselves a factor in moulding public opinion in Georgia and throughout the South. In this way their ranks ought to be daily increased until they become an irresistible power. In the last paragraph of the case under "County No. 21," quoted above, Governor Dorsey makes a most significant admission. There are many, colored people who have been led into the belief that all the Negro needed to do to secure himself was to get a piece of land, build his own house on it, be thrifty and lead a law-abiding life. The Governor cites just such a man and concludes by saying, "The education of his children and the success of his thrift seem to be the sole offense of the Negro." It is absolutely folly to believe that the Negro or anyone else can protect his material and property rights unless he has all the other common rights of citizenship. If the Negro in this country does not get the full rights of American citizenship whatever else he does get will not matter. In the introduction to his statement Governor Dorsey says: "To me it seems that we stand indicted as a people before the world. If the conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more severely than man and God have condemned Belgium and Leopold, for the Congo atrocities. But worse than that condemnation would be the destruction of our civilization by the continued toleration of such cruelties in Georgia." This is a terrible arraignment of the people of his state, but it it true and true not only of Georgia but of nearly every other southern state. We hope that the words of Governor-Dorsey will drive this truth deep into the conscience not only of the South but of the whole nation. YOUTH IN MISSISSIPPI The following news dispatch, published in the New Orleans Times-Presbyterian, aptly illustrates the spirit of youth, as it is exemplified in the whites of both sexes in that section: and fling a wicked polishing rag, and does it. While it is interesting to read how this young Greek made a fortune out of shining shoes, presumably employing Negroes as shiners and paying them Hazelhurst, Miss, April 22—Ellis Beasley, 19 years old, son of John R. Beasley of Eastern Copiah, shot and killed a Negro woman, Ella Morris, who was washing on the place of the Beasley family. It is alleged the killing occurred when the woman "assessed" one of the girls of the Beasley family. The preliminary trial was held yesterday at the offices of Justice A. W. Russell here, who after hearing the testimony released the boy without bail being required. His sister testified that if her brother had not killed the Negress she would have done so herself. What kind of civilization can it be that condones the shooting of a workingwoman by a nineteen year old boy on the ground that the murdered woman "sassell" his sister? And what kind of a woman could the sister have been, who testified that if her brother had not done the killing, she would have done so herself? And what of the justice, who after hearing the testimony, released the boy without bail being required? However other crops may fail in Mississippi, so long as such incidents as this are reported as a matter of common occurrence, there will be no lack of a full crop of lynchers and murderers to every acre. A FORTUNE FROM "SHINES" An interesting article in the Atlanta Constitution told how a young Greek, named George Galolos, paid out fifty-five thousand dollars in cash for a piece of property as an investment. The purchaser who is also known as "Greek George," is the proprietor of a shoe shining parlor and has been in Atlanta only seventeen years. He was born in the mountains of Thrace and came to Atlanta at the age of eight and went to work shining shoes for his uncle. The story continues: He was given shelter and something to wear and something to eat and whatever he could make in tips to attention and politeness. He possessed both, and soon started a savings account. He added so it every day, "That's it... way to make money," he explained Thursday, "Work like hell and save like the devil." George had a tidy bank account before he could read, write or speak much English. When the bank account grew to large enough proportions, he made a proposition to buy his uncle's stand. It was accepted and George began an independent business career before he was fifteen years old.

While it is interesting to read how this young Greek made a fortune out of shining shoes, presumably employing Negroes as shiners and paying them a small wage pittance, the question arises. Why could not a Negro in Atlanta have made the same success as this Greek made. We know of several Negroes who at one time made a profitable business out of shoe shining parlors, but none of them was able to invest fifty thousand dollars or more in a piece of property. One of these places was located in New Haven, two in New York City and another in Jersey City. Despite the prosperity that at one time attended the owners of these places, they all finally had to give up their business to others and take up other pursuits. Why was it that they were not able to amass the profits that their Greek prototype did? Was it because they were not able to live up to his somewhat profane program, "Work like hell and save like the devil." We fear that the reason lay in that difference. The ability to save is as necessary as the ability to earn. The National Baptist Voice enunciates this sound doctrine: "Better than a revival of religion is a religion that does not need to be revived." True enough, but what will become of the traveling evangelists, who devote their time to conducting revivals? The Central Christian Church of Uniontown, Pa., has won unenviable notoriety by its action in asking for the resignation of its Sunday School superintendent, Mr. Lee Smith, whose offence was that as a member of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg, he voted for the civil rights bill. The Pittsburgh Courier, commenting on this action, said: If this church at Uniontown is Christian; if their action be the sincere conviction of those who worship God under the guise of Christianity, if the Christianity they practice is, in the remotest degree, the Christianity of other Protestant churches in this country, may God save us from this sort of Christianity. The fact that the Pennsylvania Senate subsequently killed this bill in committee shows that this type of professed Christians is too common. There is need for intensive missionary work in Pennsylvania, as well as in Georgia. The Kansas City, Mo., Coll argues that the white business men, merchants of every kind receiving Negro trade, should be a big asset which could be used better than assimilation. It says: business men in Negro neighborhoods should feel the obligation of helping forward in our struggles to meet ignorance and oppression and in their have a selfish interest in increased earning power and better conditions. They have a human interest in us because they know we shall not be satisfied with another at their hands than if we were wise. The logic of this proposition is resilient. Its appeal is based on lives founded on business and principles. It should apply to Kansas City, but to other locations and West. Former Governor Bickett of North Carolina, in a recent address in Hampton Institute, referred to being against the revival of the Ku Klux Klan as follows: "In this free country the men that cannot be proclaimed from the top ought not to be heard by all American citizen. The Ku Klux Klan believes in the whisper, and that of the reasons why, when the man from Texas tried to escape Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina rose up and hit it with all its might and drove it from our borders to your leaders who proclaim their sage from the pulpit and through the local press. When the whisper tator comes ground, say to the thee behind me, Satan." The South needs more generosity of this type, who believe and believe the Negro is entitled to equal before the law. Discussing the pronage system which has caused untold poverty suffering and even death to many in the city of Birmingham, Ala., Times Paper said: If the Department of Justice would busy itself and use honest men to evigating the share crop system and searching for violators of the crime laws, there would not be enough to hold them, nor would there be enough hospitals, schools and other institutions to rebuild the human bodies and minds which it has destroyed. This illustrates the widespread extent of this revival of slavery in the world. Negro business is to have, or already has, a magazine entitled *Matter which is published monthly at Richmond Va.* Its mission is defined as an exporter of progress. "Pledged to keep America the leading nation of the world in diligent effort to further the economic status of its colored citizenry." The third number, for April, contains some interesting articles on various phases of Negro business. Frank Howard Hallion is the editor. Discussing the proposed organization of the women wage earners of the state, the Norfolk Journal and Guide says. Pride of occupation, the work we have to do, is one of the primary things Afro-Americans have got to learn. They are learning it, but in a small bad grudging way. Our women may succeed in doing it better than our men. We shall see. Capacity for organization has been demonstrated among our religions, and beneficial societies. Now, let the very effort be exerted along the lines of economic improvement. The Houston, Tex., Freeman published the advertisement of a financial promoter, who unblushingly announces: If you want to make money, see me If you want to lose money, see me I have money to loan on anything That's a novel idea for any property to admit that clients can possibly pay the money by seeing him, though that possibility has come to pass at various times. The Denver Star noted the arrival of a visitor from Weeping Water No. in one column, while in the next chronicle a departure for Champaign Ill. Whether the Volstead act was consulted in making these changes was not stated. The Randolph-Terrel Controversy To the Editor of THE AGE: Kindly allow me space for a statement in support of Rev. Florence Randolph letter published April 9th. I was one of the four delegate present at the National meeting of the publican Committee at the John W. M. E. Church in Washington, March 3rd, 1921. When Mrs. M. C. Terrell, leader of the Easter Day made the statement, "I am a leader New Jersey is without a leader Rev. Florence Randolph has been tiring in her leadership. We have under this splendid woman in many for six years. Her life is voted to her race and not to marry gain. Mrs. Terrell's statement was surprising and embarrassing. Her statement that "no delegate was more cordial to her than those New Jersey and two of them themselves to one more mob than order." is not to be refuted, except in my own case. I was cordial. I thought but did not pledge myself to any nor did I attend executive meetings where credentials were necessary. Mrs. Ida Brown, of Jersey City represented Mrs. Randolph, was the man who stood and challenged the statement that New Jersey had no need and Mrs. Lincoln Johnson and her. While Mrs. Brown was making a report from Hudson County, she rapped down. She continued to talk but other speakers were introduced the convention while she still held the floor. Mrs. S. J. Brown of Iowa, I to the president at this treatment I the delegation from New Jersey. My Mrs. Terrell is a reader of human nature. I do not see how she could realize that Mrs. Brown was mist and humiliated. Much as I dislike publicity, I feel my duty to come to Mrs. Randolph's support. As for myself, I was not so humiliated, but I realize that New Jersey did not fail. a 8 * . : . . e A . : ae ps anew: r01 pam SATU i : . YORK AGE.

The notice, For Sale To Negroes Only," it is laid, is frequently posted on homes and apartments, so as to force white people to buy in order to prevent the so-called Negro invasion of white sections. The Rev. E. H. Stark, pastor of the Silicon Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, discussing this species of sharp practice, was reported by a local reporter as follows: "My people strongly resent this exhortation. They know, as white people know, that the owner of the property advertises in this way only to give a high price for his house. It is nothing more nor less than a trick to scare the white neighbors." Instances of this kind of exploitation of the color line by real estate dealers were furnished in the same paper, as follows: Recently, advertisements in the papers that owners would sell to colored people have been followed by strong opposition from organized property owners in the neighborhood of the property involved. Following the advertisement inserted by Aquain Backman, of 228 8th street, that he would sell to colored people the apartment building 388 to 392 8th st, prominent residents and property owners in the neighborhood held a meeting and appointed former Assemblyman Albert Link to visit Mr. Backman, for the purpose of dissuading him from selling his property to colored people. Mr. Backman informed Mr. Link, that he would prefer to find a white buyer, but he had tried without satisfactory results, and that when he offered it to colored people he had received a prompt reply from a firm of Negro investors. When, A. Prince, owner of the dwelling at 110 Linden ave., advertised on March 27 that he would sell the two-family dwelling in the finest section of Flatbush to Negroes, neighbors expressed indignation at Mr. Prince's offer. One of the applicants for the property was the Rev. Samuel L. Arlington, colored, pastor of the Salem Baptist Church, Snyder avenue and Prospect place. He said Mr. Prince wanted $20,000 for the house. Real estate men in Flatbush who heard of the figure asked of the minister remarked that $10,500 would be high for the dwelling. Another house in Flatbush recently offered to colored people for $16,500, was valued at $10,000 by real estate men of the locality. The Park Slope property in question is located in a neighborhood where there are no Negroes and the offer is being regarded by neighbors as a scare that they might be tempted into purchasing the building at a price to prevent the owner from carrying out his threat. It will be seen from the foregoing that white property owners and real estate dealers are not averse to turning a more or less honest dollar by selling property in "white sections," so called, to Negro owners, if they can get their price. And it is seldom that the loudest protester against the entrance of the colored owner is willing to pay for his prejudice to the extent of digging down in his pocket and putting up an equal amount to secure the property. The exploiting of the color line in offering property for sale is unquitable and only leads to hard feeling. Let each piece of property be sold on its merits, and let a ban be put on the notice, "For Sale—To Negroes Only." Refuse to serve as pawns in any real estate bunge game. PROPER REPRESENTATION As essential an element of a well rounded citizenship as the right to vote is the right to hold office. A citizenship won by faithful service to the State and to the Nation entails its holder both to the privilege of the franchise and proper representation in holding office. Being confident that this principle of citizenship is fully recognized by the present National Administration, Tarr Axx is solicitous that the principle of proper representation in office should be based on the selection of its candidates, and those that are fit in the highest conception of the term. Character and capability should be the outstanding tests as to competency to fill office. The matter of race should not be allowed to act as a smoke screen, either a barrier or a protection. No incompetencies should be allowed to speak those positions that they are not capable of filling. Neither should men of easy manual and loose living be installed in more secure their defects of character. Let a keen scrutiny be exercised in the matter of all candidates for political office, both as to their public and private records. There are too many men of the race of irresponsable character and proved illness for office, for any risks to be taken by the selection of the unit and incompetent. Let it have proper recognition in the disposition of the offices, but let us help to bring about such proper representation, by endorsing only candidates of provident illness and character VITAL POINT IGNORED In the multiplicity of letters and statements issued in the controversy affecting the usefulness of the 135th street Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, the representatives of the Central Board seem to persistently ignore the vital point at issue. This is the welfare of the Branch work as it is affected by the reflection cast upon it by the actions of the executive secretary for the past eight months. All kinds of extraneous matters have been hauled in to obscure the real facts that should count in this case. The life history of Taylor has been written into the record, with charges and counter-charges that had no relation to the facts that led up to this situation and brought about the resignation on the majority of the members of the local board of management. The only paragraph in the letter of the Central Board dated April 25, 1921, that seemed to relate to the matter at issue, namely, Mr. Taylor's usefulness as secretary, was the following: We could not afford to and would not do any injustice to Mr. Taylor or the public in a matter as serious as this one is. We have sought proof of the charges made without success. If they had been substantiated, of course we would have favored Mr. Taylor's dismissal immediately, but maimish as the exact opposite is the case there is absolutely nothing for us to do but to stand by him. But the charges referred to were those published by a local paper, which were never substantiated nor brought before the local committee of management. The charges affecting Mr. Taylor's usefulness, growing out of the relations existing between him and a young woman employee, constituted the ground for the local board requiring his resignation. This situation had continued for eight months, working great harm to the morale of the institution, through Mr. Taylor's defiance of public sentiment. This is the vital point that the Central Board seems determined to ignore. Why this indifference to the welfare of the institution and continued support of an executive secretary, who has defied the moral sentiment of the community? The drive in behalf of the Salvation Army, to raise funds for the furtherance of its work, should receive a hearty response among all sorts and conditions of people. Especially is this true as to the Negro people, because they realize that this is one of the few organizations, whose work of relief among the soldiers abroad was not restricted by the badge of color. Further reason for responding to this appeal is the fact that the work of the army has extended to all quarters of the globe without boundary lines drawn on racial distinctions. A few months ago we read of a party of Salvation Army workers leaving for Africa on their universal mission of aiding to raise up the man who may be down, but who is never out, so far as their aid is concerned. It is this spirit of wholehearted, unrestricted service that has won for this organization the respect and esteem of all races and creeds. Help the present drive by a ready and cheerful contribution. A FINANCIAL MILESTONE The announcement that the Comptroller of the Currency had issued a charter for the first national bank to be controlled by Negroes marks a financial milestone in the history of the race in this country. This first financial institution to take advantage of the privilege of doing business under the national banking laws of the United States is located in Chicago and bears the name of the Douglass National Bank of Chicago. This choice of name recalls the fact that Frederick Douglass was made the president of the Freedmen's Savings Bank at Washington a few months previous to its failure in 1873, with the hope that the prestige of his name would restore the confidence then waning in that institution. But mismanagement on the part of the white men who controlled that institution had gone too far to be corrected by such measures. In the fifty years that have elapsed since that time many banking ventures have been started by members of the race, but all under the laws of the various states or as private enterprises. Some have survived the perils of financial waters and a recent magazine writer put the number of banks now owned by Negroes as more than one hundred. One of this number recently passed the million dollar mark in the total of its resources. The stricter regulation of the banking and insurance business by State and National authority has tended to lessen the number of "wild cat" enterprises in this field. To start a bank in most states nowadays, not only requires a certain amount of capital to be paid in in each, but men of character and reliability to conduct its operations. Unless these conditions are complied with, the charter will not be issued. Chicago will not be compromised on recurring the first chapter for an institution THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1921 GOVERNOR DORSEY'S STATEMENT We have before us a copy of issued by Governor Hugh M.

We have before us a copy of the remarkable statement recently issued by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia. The statement is issued in a printed pamphlet of twenty-five pages and constitutes brutality against the heht51 fil ::: vbgkjq cmfwypw shrdlu etaioetai one of the strongest indictments of the South for injustice, cruelty and brutality against the Negro ever yet made. The contents of the pamphlet are grouped under four heads: A. The Negro Lynched; B. The Negro held in pageage; C. The Negro driven out by organized lawlessness; D. The Negro subject in individual acts of cruelty. Under these four heads Governor Dorsey cites 135 cases of mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia in the last few years. In only two of these 135 cases cited was there any allegation of crime against white women. In the columns of THE AGE last week there was given an advance summary of Governor Dorsey's statement, but the complete statement should be in the hands of every American citizen. There are cases given which are so brutal that they would tax the belief of those who are not already familiar with conditions in Georgia and other southern states. Therg are cases cited which are sufficient to drive colored readers to despair or anarchy. The most harrowing of these cases come under the head of "Individual acts of cruelty." Under "County No. 22" a case is given in which a white citizen of this county had a colored boy arrested for failing to comply with his contract to work for him. The boy's defense was that he had been drafted for service in the army where he had served fifteen months. A successful colored farmer came to the court house of the county to sign the peace bond. The white accuser was there. When the colored farmer was signing the bond, which the sheriff said he would accept, the white man, declaring "No nigger shall help another nigger to beat me out of my money," shot the colored farmer twice. No effort was made to arrest the white man and the first grand jury refused to indict him. Subsequently he was arrested, indicted and convicted in April, 1920, of "shooting at another." The character of the white man was shown by his conviction of rape upon a colored woman under circumstances so vile that a white jury convicted him and sentenced him to twelve months in the penitentiary in January, 1920. From the dates given above in the Governor's statement, it is quite evident that this white man never served the sentence which was imposed upon him. There are many other cases given which are as bad and worse. In fact, we wish that the whole pamphlet could be reproduced, but the length of it forbids that. However, we are going to quote verbatim from governor Dorsey's statement two cases in order to give a clear idea of conditions which the Governor has made public. "County No. 26—Cruelty of Drunken Sheriff "The sheriff of this County with two other men were in an automobile on the road to the County site. They were drinking. The sheriff asked a Negro in the road to get him a drink of water. The Negro answered that he was not at his own home, but that he supposed there would be no objection to getting him a drink of water. "The sheriff left the car and struck the Negro twice with a pistol. The man brought the water. The sheriff made him get in the car, carried him 300 yards, and made him leave the car and go into the woods, where he beat him with a pistol and stick. The bleeding Negro was forced into the car again and made to lie down. He was carried ten miles, the sheriff kicking him in the body and head. One eye was virtually knocked out. There the sheriff made him get out. He was beaten again on his naked body. The sheriff stopped to cut another stick, when one of his companions advised the Negro to run if he wished to live. "This he did, hiding in the woods until later a passerby carried him into town. The sheriff was indicted for assault with intent to murder. He was acquitted." "The Negro beaten has the reputation of being a peaceable law abiding, hard working man. He was threatened with death, if he testified against the sheriff." We give below one other case: "County No. 21-A Thrifty Negro "Near a small town in the fifty-eight or sixty years ago a little money with which, ten of 140 acres, where he lived wen.

By work he accumulated a little money with which, ten years ago, he bought a farm of 140 acres, where he lived with his wife and twelve children. Three of his daughters were educated. They were school teachers. "A three-room house was on the farm. The farm was well stocked, the Negro owning in 1919 outright five mules, and having made payments on the purchase of a horse, a cow and thirty-five hogs. "During the war with Germany, this Negro family bought approximately $1,000 worth of Liberty Bonds and thrift stamps. The Negro headed an organization of Negroes, who raised between $10,000 and $11,000 for Liberty Bonds. His work was highly praised by newspapers at the time. "A white man, who can neither read nor write, owns a farm adjoining the farm of the Negro. When the articles praising the man for his war work appeared, the white man remarked: '..... getting, too damned prosperous and biggy for a nigger.' Trouble began. "The white man had his land processioned. The Negro had no representative present. The processioners ran the man's line twenty-five feet over, the Negro's line, across a terrace which had been there since the Negro was a child working for the family from whom he bought the land. The deed given to him covered the land to this terrace. "The white man crossed the terrace, drove stakes along the new line and warned the Negro not to cross the line. The Negro disregarded the warning and continued to plow to the terrace, as he had been doing since boyhood. "Blacks and whites from the country crowd the town Saturday afternoons. One Saturday, the fall of 1919, the Negro with his three daughters and son came to town. The town marshal approached the Negro in the street and said: 'I have a warrant for you.' "The Negro answered: 'Mr. ... what have I done? Read your warrant.' "The Marshal replied with an oath that he would rather kill the Negro than read the warrant." "Here the evidence varies. The Negro had a stick in his hand. Some say that the marshal, who is large and powerful, grabbed the stick and struck the Negro in the face with a pistol, knocking him down. Others state that the Negro, raising his stick, backed away, when the marshal rushed in and struck him to the ground with his pistol. Several other white men rushed upon him and began to choke and beat him. "Two of his daughters started to him. A man kicked one girl in the stomach. The other reached her father and began to wipe the blood from his face. The three were quickly overpowered. The third daughter and the son were caught. All were locked in jail. The girl who was kicked was menstruating. The blow made her deathly sick. She lay in jail moaning and begging that something, be done for her, and her father, who was bleeding badly from his wounds. The sheriff locked them in and left them without medical attention and ignorant of the charge against them "Next morning the Negro learned that his neighbor had sworn out a warrant against him for treaspass. The sheriff refused to tell him what the charge was against his son and daughters. The Negro employed a lawyer. Then he found that he and his daughters were charged with resisting an officer in the discharge of his duty, his son with carrying a pistol. Only one witness claimed to have seen the pistol. The was the police officer who did the crowd was on his father. The buggy was searched. The pistol was not found. "Talk of lynching the Negro and his family caused their removal to another county. A committee of citizens waited upon the judge of the circuit, who informed them, it is charged, that he would put the Negro in the chain gang, when the case should come up for trial. "The man, his daughters and son were tried in the Superior Court. The father was sentenced to serve twelve months in the chain gang and pay a fine of $250.00. The girls were fined $50.00 each. The son was fined $100.00. The Negro paid the fines of his children. "The man's smaller children and his wife were in his home, while he was in jail. A mob fed by the town marshal went to the house, kicked the door and demanded admittance, then shot up the house and went away. This was night. "Next morning, the woman, with her children, fled from her home, never to return. "A friend went by night and removed the live stock belonging to the family, and sold it for them at a great sacrifice. Their crop was a total loss. They will be lynched, it is said, if any of them ever return to their home. "Reputable merchants and bankers in this county unite in giving the Negro and his family a good character. The son has been offered a loan of $450.00 by a leading farmer to pay a note, the holder of which threatened suit during these troubles. A leading merchant gave the father a line of credit running from $800.00 to $1,500.00 a year. One of the best citizens of the county signed his bond. "The education of his children and the success of his thrift seem to be the sole offense of the Negro." The cases referred to and quoted above demostrate the far-reaching importance of Governor Dorsey's action. It took undoubted courage and something more than courage for the Governor to do what he has done. We know that for many years a small minority of high-minded southern white people have discussed the wrongs done to the Negro in the South and have deplored them, but they have done so behind closed doors. In this case we have Governor Dorsey and a few men like him proclaiming not only to Georgians but to the country at large the unspeakable conditions existing in their state. This is the sort of action that we have longed for on the part of "the better element." Following this pronouncement the better element in Georgia should rally around Governor Dorsey and his associates and thus make themselves a factor in moulding public opinion in Georgia and throughout the South. In this way their ranks ought to be daily increased until they become an irresistible power. In the last paragraph of the case under "County No. 21," quoted above, Governor Dorsey makes a most significant admission. There are many colored people who have been led into the belief that all the Negro needed to do to secure himself was to get a piece of land, build his own house on it, be thrifty and lead a law-abiding life. The Governor cites just such a man and concludes by saying, "The education of his children and the success of his thrift seem to be the sole offense of the Negro." It is absolutely folly to believe that the Negro or anyone else can protect his material and property rights unless he has all the other common rights of citizenship. If the Negro in this country does not get the full rights of American citizenship whatever else he does get will not matter. In the introduction to his statement Governor Dorsey says: "To me it seems that we stand indicted as a people before the world. If the conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more severely than man and God have condemned Belgium and Leopold, for the Congo atrocities. But worse than that condemnation would be the destruction of our civilization by the continued toleration of such cruelties in Georgia." This is a terrible arraignment of the people of his state, but it it true, and true not only of Georgia but of nearly every other southern state. We hope that the words of Governor Dorsey will drive this truth deep into the conscience not only of the South but of the whole nation. YOUTH IN MISSISSIPPI The following news dispatch, published in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, aptly illustrates the spirit of youth, as it is exemplified in the whites of both sexes in that section: Hazelhurst, Miss. April 22.—Ellis Beasley, 19 years old, son of John R. Beasley of Eastern Copiah, shot and killed a Negro woman, Ella Morris, who was washing on the place of the Beasley family. It is alleged the killing occurred when the woman "assed" one of the girls of the Beasley family. The preliminary trial was held yesterday at the offices of Justice A. W. Russell here, who after hearing the testimony released the boy without bail being required. His sister testified that if her brother had not killed the Negress she would have done so herself What kind of civilization can it be that condones the shooting of a workingwoman by a nineteen year old boy on the ground that the murdered woman "assessed" his sister? And what kind of a woman could the sister have been, who testified that if her brother had not done the killing, she would have done so herself? And what of the justice, who after hearing the testimony, released the boy without bail being required? However other crops may fail in Mississippi, so long as such incidents as this are reported as a matter of common occurrence, there will be no lack of a full crop of lynchers and murderers to every acre. A FORTUNE FROM "SHINES" An interesting article in the Atlanta Constitution told how a young Greek, named George Galolos, paid out fifty-five thousand dollars in cash for a piece of property as an investment. The phryphaser who is also known as "Greek George," is the proprietor of a shoe shining parlor and has been in Atlanta only seventeen years. He was born in the mountains of Thrace and came to Atlanta at the age of eight and went to work shining shoes for his uncle. The story continues: He was given shelter and something to wear and something to eat and whatever he could make in tips to attention and politeness. He possessed both, and soon started a savings account. He added to it every day, "That's it... way to make money," he explained Thursday, "Work like hell and save like the devil." George had a tidy bank account before he could read, write or speak much English. When the bank account grew to large enough proportions, he made a proposition to buy his uncle's stand. It was accepted and George began an independent business career before he was fifteen years old. When, the Commonly building was constructed by raised his present stand, where there are twenty-two chairs, a hot and clean clothing establishment and shiny two-person employment. But the commonship is in another and fling a wicked polishing rag, and does it. While it is interesting to read how this young Greek made a fortune out of shining shoes, presumably employing Negroes as shiners and paying them a small wage pitigation, the question arises. Why could not a Negro in Atlanta have made the same success as this Greek made. We know of several Negroes who at one time made a profitable business out of shoe shining parlors, but none of them was able to invest fifty thousand dollars or more in a piece of property. One of these places was located in New Haven, two in New York City and another in Jersey City. Despite the prosperity that at one time attended the owners of these places, they all finally had to give up their business to others and take up other pursuits. Why was it that they were not able to amass the profits that their Greek prototype did? Was it because they were not able to live up to his somewhat profane program. "Work like hell and save like the devil." We fear that the reason lay in that difference. The ability to save is as necessary as the ability to earn. The National Baptist Voice enunciates this sound doctrine: "Better than a revival of religion is a religion that does not need to be revived." True enough, but what will become of the traveling evangelists, who devote their time to conducting revivals? The Central Christian Church of Uniontown, Pa., has won unenviable notoriety by its action in asking for the resignation of its Sunday School superintendent, Mr. Lee Smith, whose offence was that as a member of the House of Representatives at Harrisburg, he voted for the civil rights bill. The Pittsburgh Courier, commenting on this action, said: If this church at Uniontown is Christian; if their actum be the sincere conviction of those who worship God under the guise of Christianity, if the Christianity they practice is in the remotest degree, the Christianity of other Protestant churches in this country, may God save us from this sort of Christianity. The fact that the Pennsylvania Senate subsequently killed this bill in committee shows that this type of professed Christians is too common. There is need for intensive missionary work in Pennsylvania, as well as in Georgia. The Kansas City, Mo., Call argues that the white business man merchants of every kind receiving Negro trade, should be a big asset which could be used to better your conditions. In ways: business man in Negro neighborhood should feel the obligation of her forward in our struggles to ignorance and oppression and They have a selfish interest creased earning power and be ditions. They have a human interest in us because they know shall not be satisfied with any at their hands than if we were The logic of this proposition resistible. Its appeal is based onives founded on business and principles. It should apply to Kansas City, but to other and West. Former Governor Bickert Carolina, in a recent ad Hampton Institute, referred against the revival of the K as follows: "In this free country the man cannot be proclaimed from top ought not to be heard American citizen. The Kill believes in the whisper, and of the reasons why, when man from Texas tried to Ku Klux Klan in North rose up and hit it with a and drove it from our home to your leaders who proclaimed sage from the pulpit and local press. When the tator comes around, say thee behind me, Satan." The South needs more this type, who believe and the Negro is entitled to before the law. Discussing the prognosis has caused untold poverty and even death to many in the Birmingham, Ala., Times. I said: If the Department of Justice would busy itself and use hunter's investigating the share crop and searching for violators of the searing laws, there would not be enough to hold them, nor would there be enough hospitals, schools and other institutions to rebuild the human bodies and minds which it has destroyed. This illustrates the widespread extent of this revival of slavery in the South. Negro business is to have, or already has, a magazine entitled Method which is published monthly at Richmond Nat. Its mission is defined as an expoion of progress. "Pledged to keep America the leading nation of the world in diligent effort to further the economic status of its colored citizenry." The third number, for April, contains some interesting articles on various phases of Negro business. Frank Howard Hallion is the editor. Discussing the proposed organization of the women wage carers of the race, the Norfolk Journal and Guide says. Pride of occupation, the work we have to do, is one of the primary things Afro-Americans have got to learn. They are learning it, but in a small and grudging way. Our women may succeed in doing it better than our men. We shall see. Capacity for organization has been demonstrated among our religions and beneficial societies. Now, let the same effort be exerted along the lines of economic improvement. The Houston, Tex., Freeman published the advertisement of a financial promoter, who unblushingly annuizes. If you want to make money, try me. If you want to lose money, see me. I have money to loan on anything. That's a novel idea for any promoter to admit that clients can possibly pay money by seeing him, though the possibility has come to pass at various times. The Denver Star noted the arrival of a visitor from Weeping Water N. in one column, while in the next chronicle a departure for Champaign III. Whether the Volstead act was consulted in making these changes was not stated. The Randolph-Terrel Controversy To the Editor of THE ACE: Kindly allow me space for a statement in support of Rev. Florence Ransom, letter published April 9th. I was one of the four delegate present at the National meeting of the publican Committee at the John W. M. E. Church in Washington, March 3rd, 1921. When Mrs. M. C. Terrell, leader of the Easter Day made the statement, "I am for New Jersey is without a Leader. Rev. Florence Randolph has been tiring in her leadership. We have been under this splendid woman in many for six years. Her life has voted to her race and not to marry. Gain. Terrell's statement has surprised and embarrassing. Her statement that "no delegate were more cordial to her than the New Jersey and two of them themselves to one more than the order" is not to be refuted except in my own case. I was cordial. I but did not pledge myself to an nor did I attend executive meetings where credentials were necessary.

The oldest and largest Negro business on Madison avenue is the Harlem River School and Auto Repair Shop at 2105 Madison avenue. This school was established eight years ago by Clarence Jones, and is now the largest Negro automobile school in Harlem. It has taught 1,500 people how to run and repair automobiles since its organization and the students from that school have trouble in securing state licenses. Aside from this work, the school has a wide reputation for its repair shop, and for its sales department, where new and second hand cars are bought and sold. The school also does automobile painting and carries a full line of automobile supplies. At present there are four instructors and thirty-five students in the school. The proprietor is assisted in this work by two brothers, Edwin and Horace Jones. Forth third annual recital at Aeolian Hall, West 43rd street, New York on Monday evening. May 2nd, Wilson Lamb, baritone, Orange, New Jersey, presented the following program: "Ernani" ..... Vordi "D Exile" ..... Vordi "B Epilepsy" ..... Lully Another real estate company not previously mentioned is the firm of Bowen and McLennan at 200 West 14th street. This company was organized in May 1919, with a capital stock of $10,000. This stock was fully paid up in a few months, and the capital was increased to $30,000. The company now has seventy-five stockholders and has leased and is operating seven large apartment buildings in Bowen. Bowen is president of the corporation. T. McLennan, vice president and secretary and Fred Whitfield is the treasurer. Before organizing this corporation Bowen and McLennan were formerly real estate brokers on 133th street. There was evident a very considerable improvement over Mr. Lamb's office a year ago. The resonant sonority of his lower voice in the power was continued into the upper register, and they were produced with clarity and precision of pitch. As will be noted the allure program offered opportunity for a great deal of vocal singing and this was splendidly done by the artist. It is rather unusual for a baritone to devote so much of his program to purely compositions, and this is because it is so great a tax opposing the technical facility, and because so few are capable ofarming this with the end under such a sustained strain upon the vocal resources. Ice Cream Parlor Opened. During the past few months several new businesses have been established by Negroes in Harlem. One of these new corporations, the Pure Food Ice Cream Parlor Company, on Saturday, April 23rd, opened one of the most up to date confectionery stores and ice cream parlors in Harlem. This company is planning to open a chain of Negro ice cream parlors in Harlem with "moderate prices and better services" as their motto. The first store of this company has one of the best locations in Harlem, in the Bank building at 135th street and Lemont avenue. All the upper floors of this building have been renovated and will be opened this week for business offices and male roomers. But as I have mentioned in this column upon several previous occasions, Mr. Lamb is a singer of parts. He has a developed technique, intellectual comprehension, and artistic temperament. Though he disagrees with me, I must again contend that his voice is of a cantante quality, but it is to be conceded that his voice has a baritone range. In open his program with the Russian group, the singer gave himself a difficult task. Warming up the average audience on vocal numbers such composers as are listed above, unless the audience is large or the musical cognoscenti, is a task from which most singers would shrink. But with masterly art and suave grace, Mr. Lamb entered upon his work and had no difficulty in winning the interest of his auditors. The group of Italian and French songs, which followed, accentuated this interest, and it reached its peak with the third group, which, save for the first number, was made up of Negro Spirituals by Dett and Burleigh. It is no reflection upon the character of Mr. Lamb's work in the other sections of his program, says that his most sympathetic interpretation was given in this group. The Wattle Collins Realty and Trading Corporation opened a first class cigar store at 165 West 145th street a few days ago. This corporation was organized in October, 1920, with a capital stock of $25,000, and is expecting to go into the realty field as well as to run trading and mercantile establishments in Harlem. James P. Collins is president of the corporation Alfred E. Lynch, vice president and James C. Wattle is secretary and treasurer. SELLS BONDS. AND SECURITIES For the past eighteen months Negroes of Harlem have had the opportunity to buy the highest grade listed securities and bonds, through Claude A. Meade the only colored licensed broker in Haglem, Mr. Meade received his training in this work, at the College of The City of New York, and at Columbia University. He has also had three years experience in this kind of work. His offices are now located at 2327 Seventh avenue, and he is now offering to the colored investing public such high grade securities as the Cities Service Company and other municipal bonds now being offered by the firm of Henry L. Doherty and Company, Wall street. Mr. Meade also handles other high grade bonds and listed stock, and makes monthly reports to the Tax Commission on all transfers made. His business is well managed, and to one of the few colored businesses in Harlem that sends financial statements to mercantile rating agencies of Dunn and Bradstreet. The final group offered a variety of musical expression. The lyrical quality of Mr. Lamb's voice was brought out to its fullest extent and he was equally pleasing in the Brahms, the Grieg, the Burleigh and the Coleridge-Taylor songs, each of a distinctively different type. The Hawley and Dvorak songs were given with great delicacy and tenderness. In response to an enthusiastic engrene the bartone gave Burleigh's Spiritual, "Oh! didn't it rain." This song was stood on the ribber of Jerdon" were the only numbers that had been used on the 1920 recital program. Mr. Lamb having with these exceptions, prepared an entirely new repertoire. As with the singer gave an illuminating exhibition of artistic ingenuity, just once or twice a bit of unevenness developed, evident the result of physical fatigue. Last case was had been the case the year before. Mr. Lamb had an account of the Caucasian race, a young man who had studied with him for some years. In this column, in reviewing that recital, reference was made to this and the statement was made that this reviewer will be glad to tell Mr. Lamb of one or two young men whose technical abilities and musical knowledge would enable them to meet the requirements of even so stupendous a program as he had intended. Mr. Lamb took note of this, and when the time came the hand. Recently Negro business invaded Eighth avenue. The Maryland Bakery and Restaurant was established five months ago, and has made rapid progress since opening. The store is now being renovated and new equipment is being added at a cost of $1,500. It will reopen on May 1st as one of the largest Negro bakery and restaurants in Harlem A. B. Stewart is proprietor, and he is assisted by two brothers it the management of the business. A Kudolph-Grant was at the piano for Mr. Lamb on Monday and his work was up to the singer's requirements in particular. It was tenically sufficient, sympathetically expressive and splendidly supporting. It is interesting to note that the young man who had formerly served in this capacity for the singer was present at the rehearsal with Mr. Lamb and Mr. Grant gave voice to his commendation of Mr. Grant's work in musical terms. Negro Business Has Doubled. Negro business in Harlem has more than doubled since 1920. In several fields they are now doing more business than people of other races in this Mr. Grant's accompanying was of a high order, and stamped him as a pianist of merit and ability. The audience was not very large. In fact; were it not for the fact that Mr. Lamb's recital is largely underwritten by the efforts of the New Jersey supporters, the financial deficit would probably be larger than he could afford to carry. But there was one agreeable nature—the New York contingent was considerably larger than it had been. And it is my belief that if the true music lovers of the city really appreciated how much could be learned of real musicality and understanding through the work of such an artist as Mr. Lamb, they would throng Aeolian Hall to hear him. But he does not indulge in clap trap or specious buncombe, will be that appreciation of his worth will come by slow degrees. The Martin-Smith Music School gave its semi-annual recital show at New Star Casino on Monday, night, May 2nd, Kensington Hall was presented as the pianist of the evening. A sense, through not so numerous as usual, attended the Theoir of St. Marks M. E. Church, West 53rd street, E. Birmingham, organist and choirmaster, is working on its annual Carnegie Hall program, to be presented Monday evening, May 21. The offering will embrace grand opera, ("La Sonnambula" by Bellini—the first act being sung) and Nathaniel Dett's motet forigner solo, chorus and organ, "The Chariot Jubilee," based on the Negro Spiritual, "Swing low, sweet chariot." In the advance announcements so far at hand there is no mention of the vocal soloists, although great prominence has been given to the instrumental accompanists. These are headed by the pianist, Melville Charlton, A. A. G. O., at the organ, with Adolph Grant and Revella Hughes Wheaton at the pianoforte. When Mr. Jackson fails to mention his soloists is not known until understand that Miss Minnie Brown and Miss Ethel Clark are soprano parts, Miss Maridana Johnson a contralto part, and haritone roles in the keeping of Charles Waters and Warren Tarrant, respectively. Last Spring, Sidney Woodward presented a program at Acoul Hall by the choir of Bethel A. M. E. Church, exhibiting a splendid ensemble and some promising soloists. Since then circumstances have brought about a change, and Mr. Woodward is now married with the Mount Calvary Independent Methodist Church schoolmaster, and he is presenting this body of singers at Acoul Hall on Monday evening, May 16th. Mr. Woodward, himself a distinguished accomplishment, had drilled his host young into a credible singing body and it is not too much to say. WITH OUR GIRLS I'm not great. Reading letters from other states? I asked my intention, I would say, "I'm in this column and in to stay." It depends on my behavior; you see The "Walking Papers" may be given to me. But, I promise girls, not to cut any cancers. So please don't give me "Walking Papers." Horseback riding is something I don't do, So you have that on me, "Brownie No 2," Give your height, I may think it tall, Because real; 135 isn't fat at all. Our 'real purpose,' Jamie dear, Is to become acquainted right in here Tell about your hikes, what you do each day, Tell us everything in a polly way. Thank you "Teddy, Jamie and Boltbur," Cooking is making itself with me a hobby, I wait my judge to be the best, I'll let you know, also "Happiness." Who is that motioning to me in the air, From behind that desk way over there? Why its "Elite?" Goodness sakes Now I know I've made 50 mistakes. Now I'm going to close this letter. "Ah! somebody's saying 'that's better' "Mr. Editor," will you open this gate? Thank you. Dear me, I hope it won't late. So long. "BROWNIE" DEAR GIRLS: So glad to hear from you and to know our column is growing. As "Brownie" said, "It's time for business as we are a month old. I would suggest that we get organized then the column For instance, Let Saturday May 14, be "Suggestion Day," also "Day of Appointment." I mean by that appoint a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer and then go to work. Suggest also the fee to be paid. You see in this way we can more easily come in touch with each other. Now, girl, get busy, and put that interaction. Both time meat year we interact with pennies in the treasury. "Brownie No. 2." I'm so glad to see you on one day. "Brownie," did you make that wonderful fudge? How did you come out? Yes, "Brownie," please send me a message. What is the expense of this column, anyway? What's the trouble, "Elite"? Busy I guess, as all teachers are at this time, nevertheless don't forget, "Elite" are you just teaching in Columbia or is neighborhood, and have purchased a large percentage of the homes occupied by the colored people of this section. In some quarters the question is being asked: Will property values in this section go down? The colored real estate companies and brokers in Harlem are unanimous in their belief that the value of real estate will not only be stabilized but will increase in this section. S. A. Kelsey and other older brokers in this section say that it was hard to get a mortgage on property in Harlem when the fireing influx of Negroes moved into this section. At that time the value of much of the property in the colored section of Harlem dropped almost forty per cent in some cases. The private houses beaten by the Eighth avenues, from 130th to 140th street, have marked value of from $15,000 to $22,000, with the coming of colored residents to this section as low as $5,500 in some cases. This was also true of houses in other part of Harlem, and the value of this property is just getting back to the level it was before colored people moved into this section. Negro success in other lanes of business has done a great deal toward winning the respect of business people of other races in Harlem. They have learned that race prejudice in business is too costly, and are now striving to prevent the further expansion of the colored people in this section. It is evident, however, that the Negro section of Harlem will in a few years occupy the entire district from 125th street to 155th street in Harlem River to Edgecombe ave. When this district comes wholly under the control of Negroes it will not only be a model city for Negroes in other parts of the world, but it will also be concrete proof that under the same circumstances Negroes can accomplish what other races accomplish. $15.00 Make More Money $15.00 Learn a Profession Madam Anna L.

Will be in your city some time during the summer; hope to meet you. Hello "Teddy" How's the girl. So glad to see you; take a part. Don't you think you're great? Darling "Bobbie" what are you doing for yourself? Holding around us usual? "Jamie" dear, where is Blinktum? I bet Blinktum, got her rame from her beautiful eyes. Now, girls. I am now asking a personal, favor. Will you please send a snap of yourself in a separate envelope, with column name on back and put this stamped envelope inside of the one addressed to the Age with your letter. Put the city and state, and write "Happiness" in the corner and ask "Twin." Aa to please forward and they will gladly do so. I have a book which I have named "With Our Girls, Snap Shot Book." Now please do that as I clearly love snaps. I will be looking daily for the snaps. Now respond to me like you did to "Brownne" about the "judge." By all means don't you ask this same favor until I have all and then you ask something else (you get me?) Couldn't attend church this morning because —Nu-feet. Girls, have you planned your vacation trip? When, how and when Don't forget "Suggestion Day" and "Day at Appointment." My name is longer than I am, so you can easily judge me height. Be sweet. Bye the Bye Friendly. "HAPPINESS." Fayetteville, N.C. DEAR GIRLS I am just so busy with my school work that although Tug Agt. arrives in my house every Friday, I hardly read it. But luckily I glanced over the fifth page and saw the letters from the girls. The idea is first rate. Just what I'm learning for—something to make life a little jollier. The girls here are so dead. No athletic clubs; a piece of a social club, etc. My name is factiously "BUDDY." I am thin, brown skin, with black eyes and hair. I am greatly in favor of a club, but I fear that we could not form an individual club in Plainfield. I don't know "Bobbie" in the next issue I wish she would describe herself. I think 25 cents a month is a very good price to pay. May I suggest that it would be good to form a club in New York City, and after the girls are organized, have meetings, when all of the members can meet each other. I cannot answer "Happiness" question. Lovingly "BUDDY" Plainfield, N. I. NOTE BY EDITOR: "BUDDY" is asked to furnish also her REAL NAME - not for publication, but for the office record. DEAR GIRLS: I have just finished eating a great big saucer of ice cream and it was so good I was just wondering what "Brownie" was doing. Sure I want you so be my column sister, "Brownie" Brownies love each other. I made some fudge by "Bobbin" recipe and it was just grand. Hello, "Bobbie" how I would love to see you. Well "Happiness" you are some riddle maker. I can't guess yours. I like your idea "Brownie," or suggestion of twenty-five cents a month. It is not too much. I think "Elite"'s suggestion of having an entertainment once in a while is fine also. I wish Saturday would come twice a week, or that is the happiest day of the week for me. "Happiness," I am happy to have you so near me. Wherever there are Brownies there is also "happiness." Love to all. "BROWNIE NO 2." Wilmington, N. C. DEAR GIRLS: You do not know how surprised I was to see how much space our column had taken up, last Sunday. I think that "Brownie's" suggestion of paying twenty-nine cents a month is fine. It is worth more than that, not only financially but socially. Perhaps it would be a good idea to elect a president,逸 from the girls that already have written letters; this would solve the problem of the girls in smaller towns. "Brownie" may be a good guesser, but "Blinkum" goes to school. Speaking to "Brownie, number two" it certainly must be wonderful to ride horseback. The nearest I ever got to it was astride the trailing on the porch, but those days are over. Hoping that we will get settled soon Lovingly. "JAMIE" DEAR GIRLS: I was a little neglectful last week, but if nothing presents I'll try and be prompt here-after. How are you girls? "Happiness" can't help from, being otherwise. Now Brownie No. One, please don't carry us too fast. A friend, "ELITE." Columbia, N. C. May I make my how and introduce myself to your charmed curler. I have been a very enthusiastic reader of wom- column from the start and could no longer resist the temptation to join. Also it will make another represent- ative from the "Mogunno State." I am called "RED" by all friends because of my vivid-colored blond hair. In fact, the majority of the girls in our town have blond hair. I am teeter- ette and weigh 105 pounds. "BROWNIE. I think a 25 cent tax monthly would be the best idea as many towns there are only one or two members. Since you seem to like riddles, "Brownie." I will see if you can guess this one. "Why is a horse like the letter 'L'?" Next week I expect a lot of answers. There goes my telephone. I work in an office and am writing between phone- rings. I'll say goodbye and good luck until next time. Am receive. "RED Plainfield N. L." ZIP! PLOPS Well, here I am. I have been sliding in this direction for almost two weeks and I arrived in fairly good shape despite the rocks, I struck in my decent. Oh pardon my manner, girls: Greetings to you! Ladies, lend your ears to listen a moment, please. I know "Bobhie" well. However, she has in the faintest inking as to what I may be. She is about as tall as the Colossus of Rhodes, yet I think I could show her my heart in a hundred yard dash. Having said enough for a "tookie" and hoping to talk Bobhie's attempts to end out who I am I will leave you with best wishes for the column and the chance to know you better.

Miss Leona Hargrave, The Circle nurse at Port Valley, Ga., writes us as follows: "My dear Miss Davis: I find that The Circle nurse is more than appreciated in the community.
