SCHOOL TIME! ANNOUNCEMENTS OF THE BEST SCHOOLS ON PAGE SIX VOLUME XVII. NO. 4 YOUNG VIRGINIAN MAKES GOOD SAMUELR.PIERCE, PORTSMOUTH BOY, WINS GREAT REPUTATION AS KING OF VALETS AND LOCKER MAN WITH THE FAMOUS NASSAU COUNTRY CLUB. (Special to The Journal and Guide.) "Glen Cove, N. Y.—It is not an unusual thing for a colored American, hailing from the South to make good in the North, but there are cases of exceptional merit and that deserve special mention. A case in point is that of Samuel R. Pierce, a young man, a native of Portsmouth, Virginia, who has won for himself a national reputation as locker man with the Nassau Country Club of Glen Cove, N. Y., one of the most famous in the country. Mr. Pierce's efficient management of the Club's locker room has brought him not only the unstinted praisio of the golfers who visit the club from all sections of the country, but has attracted the attention of the leading newspapers of the nation, among them being "The Brooklyn (Daily) Eagle," "The Glen Cove Echo," and others. Not only did The Brooklyn Eagle publish a comprehensive story of Mr. Pierce's achievements in Glen Cove, but also published his picture with the article SAMUEL R. PIERCE Mr. Pierce has many friends and relatives in Norfolk and Portsmouth and they, doubtless, will be proud of his achievements away from home. The following is what The Brooklyn Eagle has to say of him: "Golfers and tennis players who compete in the various big tournaments, and in so doing visit all the important clubs scattered from Maine to Mexico, cast of the Alleghenies, are naturally more or less critics or rather judges of what constitutes good club service. The dining service in country clubs, since the popularity of the automobile, has uniformly improved, but in one department, however, a majority of the clubs fall short of the high standard of service so requisite for a member's or guest's comfort—that is, in the locker room. For in no other department is such intimate service required. A club locker-room man, or valet, comes into such personal touch with the members that to be "good" he must know, even before the man he is serving, himself realizes a need. the Nassau Country Club, that well-known Long Island organization, has, it has been conceded, the 'king of all valets' in the person of Samuel R. Pierce, 'Sam', as he is known to thousands of sportsmen all over the country, who either belong to Nassau or have participated in affairs there, has been with the club for the past seventeen years, and doubtless, if he lives that long, will be with it as many more. Many men of great means have offered him tempting amounts to give up serving the multitude and devote his time to their personal needs; but a sense of loyalty keeps Sam with the club to which he came as a young man from his home in Virginia. "It is fortunate for the men making these offers that Sam has not accepted them, for without Sam there would be something lacking at Nassau and the chap who succeeded in enticing him away would soon find himself socially ostracised. "As soon as a Nassau man, or any others who have visited that celebrated club a few times, puts his head through the locker-room door, he shouts, 'Sam.' That is all that is necessary. Sam does the rest. It doesn't matter whether the player has picked up three or four out of town friends and taken them down to the club for a round of golf, or some tennis, without sport clothes or equipment. Sam takes care of them and sends them all out as well prepared as if they were at their home clubs. "You can borrow, or buy as you will, for in addition to the things he loans, he carries a stock of many hundreds of dollars in new and up-to-date sporting togs. A Nassau member will frequently say, 'Oh, leave that to Sam.'" The Journal and Guide and Sam fixes them up; from a shoe string to a dress suit. He simply can't be stuck and his ingenuity, like his many other admirable qualifications, is most unusual. "In addition to his other work, together with his assistants, he barbers, and takes care of the clothes of many of the members who live in the immediate countryside. "Like several others of his race, his memory is remarkable and his industry surprising. Hours do not count when there is work to be done. During the recent M. G. A. championship, which none of the one hundred and twenty participants will ever forget because of the driving northeast storm which extended over the first three days, when a man was soaked to the skin as soon as he put his nose out of doors, the entire lot of 'drowned rats' stripped off their wet clothing and let them fall where they stood, twice a day. "Sam and his men gathered it together, put it through the dryer and had it back in the locker assigned to each particular player when he was ready to start out again. Think of the thousands of pieces handled at such a time and without a complaint and nothing astray. Of course, to do this, Sam and his gang worked all night. But his manner is ever the same; with a pleasant smile and a friendly inquiry. Never assuming, he is esteemed by all with whom he came in contact. "He owns a fine home and has a wife as agreeable as he and he takes a keen interest in the affairs of his race, always lending a helping hand to deserving boys from the South. "In the Nassau Club, competition is keen among the members as to who will have the honor of having Sam's first son named after him. He who succeeds will indeed be honored." OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION DAY OBSERVE FIRE PREVENTION DAY Hampton Institute Students Instructed In Use Of Scaling Ladders And Fire Fighting Apparatus. (By W. A. Acrv.) Hampton, Va.—R. F. McLaughlin, Chief Marshal of the Norfolk Fire Department, and several of his men were present at Hampton Institute on October 9 at the first observance of Fire Prevention Day, to give demonstrations in the use of scaling hadders and in the saving of human life in burning buildings. Chief McLaughlin co-operated most heartily with Major Allen Washington, Hampton's Commandant of Cadets, in making the Fire Prevention Day program both interesting and instructive. Hampton students showed how fires could be successfully fought with water, with sand, with hand chemical extinguishers, with a large size chemical engine, and with a full size steam engine. A bucket brigade, for example, showed how a small group of clear headed, active men could pass water quickly and successfully to a burning building. The Hampton tradesmen who are taking the plumbing and steam fitting course handled skillfully the steam engine. The preliminary fire drill demonstrated how successfully Hampton is preparing to meet, day by day, its fire risk. Several hundred girls left the dormitory in a remarkably short time, in order and with strict attention to discipline. The boys, on the sound of the fire signal, fell into their various places and were ready at once to meet an emergency. In the evening a helpful talk was given by Major Washington on the necessity of carefulness in guarding against fires. A Hampton graduate explained the mechanism of a chemical extinguisher, and a reel of motion pictures drove home the truth that safety lies chiefly in prevention, but that it is also possible to prevent many fires from getting under great headway. ORGANIZATION SOCIETY MEETING ORGANIZATION SOCIETY MEETING Prominent Speakers Engaged For Fourth Annual Session In Ronnoke Nov. 8-10. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Petrosburg, Va., Oct. 12.—Preparations for the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Negro Organization Society which will be held at Roanoke, Va., November 8, 9, 10 are well under way. The people of Roanoke are enthusiastic about the meeting and a strong Committee on Arrangements is at work making plans for the entertainment of those who will attend. Indications are that a large delegation of earnest, public spirited, men and women will journey to Roanoke for this occasion either as individual members of the Society or as representatives of organizations. Every organization among Negroes in Virginia should send at least one representative to the Roanoke meeting and no man or woman who is really interested in the development of the colored people in this State should fail to be present. These annual conventions of the Negro Organization Society are regarded by many as being the most helpful and most inspiring meetings that the Negroes of Virginia hold, and a very large majority of the leaders in the State are making attend- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, OCTOBER 14, 1916 M. J. H. REV. M. A. TALLEY, D. D. Director of Negro Day at Rocky Mount Fair. ance upon them a part of their annual program. So far as is known every one who has attended either of the former meetings has returned to his home with a deep feeling of practical benefit and enthusiasm in the cause of Negro uplift. The Rauoke meeting promises to be as good and as helpful as either of the former meetings. Able and distinguished men and women of both races in and out of Virginia will speak. Among those who are expected may be mentioned: Dr. W. D. Weatherford, International Secretary, Y. M. C. A.; Dr. Jas, P. Faulkner, Executive Secretary, Ruolau Foundation; Mr. J. H. Montgomery, Executive Secretary, Co-operative Association; Dr. Jas, P. McConnell, President Radford State Normal School; Mr. J. B. Pierce, District Agent Negro Farm Demonstration Work; Dr. Arthur D. Wright, State School Inspector; Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, State Industrial Supervisor; Dr. J. J. France, Chairman Committee on Health. A number of persons will speak upon the improvement of particular conditions in their own communities and the usual interesting reports from delegates will be heard. Dr. Robert R. Moton, now Principal of Tuskegee Institute and President of the Society, will deliver the principal address at the big mass meeting of both races with which the convention will close.

(Special to Journal and Guide) Kittrell, N. C., Oct. 12. While at supper Monday evening, fire completely destroyed the building at Kittrell College known as the Dickerson building. This building was one of the landmarks of the college, for years being used as a dormitory for boys. The loss is but partially covered by insurance. Kittrell College has for years figured most prominently in the educational life of the state, and with an enrollment greatly exceeding that of any previous session, a most successful school year had been anticipated. While it is to be regretted that this, the second visitation by fire within the past two years, will to some extent prove a source of embarrassment, President O'Kelly's assurance that the work will continue without interruption is a source of much inspiration and satisfaction to the patrons and friends of Kittrell College. WILSON'S POLICIES BLOWN UP. Charles Evans Hughes did have explosives with him when his motorcar was searched by a Canadian soldier, but they were under the candidate's hat. Mr. Hughes will set them off on his western tour, and some of Mr. Wilson's policies will be blown up—New York Snn. RAISED FUNDS FOR EDUCATION METHODISTS CONTRIBUTENEARLY $1,000.00 FOR KITTRELL COLLEGE—ROANOKE TO HAVE SHIRT FACTOYR OPERATED BY NEGRO LABOR. (By W. A. Reid.) Roanoke, Va., October 12.—At. M. Zion A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. G. C. Taylor is pastor. The Educational Congress of the Virginian Annual Conference, A. M. E. Church convened Tuesday, October the 3rd, at 8 p. m. with the Right Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D., presiding. The Congress was all that could be expected from every view point; and was composed of some of the most able men of the race and connection. Delegates were here from Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and from all over the State. Prominent among the visitors were: Prof. C. G. O'Kelly of Kittrell College; Prof. Jackson Secretary of Education, of the A. M. E. Church; Drs. Davis, Morris, Hunter, Nottingham, Berry, Cotton, Nicholas, Hatcher, Leake, Watson, Spratley and a host of others with Presiding Elders F. A. Seaton, J. H. Ross and Geo. R. Jones. The Convention raised about $943.00 for education, and laid plans to raise $5,000.00 by the 31st day of January, 1917. As we understand it, this will be Virginia's Pro rata of the $12,500.00 that the Second District is to raise to meet a similar amount that Mr. Duke has promised to give to Kittrell College when we raise ours. Every colored person is asked to contribute to urgent appeal. The delegates were loud in their praise of the pastor and members of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church for their entertainment while in our city, and the committee on resolutions so expressed themselves. The Convention closed Thursday night, and the delegates left for their respective places of abode. Mrs. Johnson, the wife of the Bishop, graced the Congress with her presents to the delight of all. She expressed herself as being delighted with her visit to the South, as this presence to the delight of all. She was the guest of Mrs. Nora B. Taylor, the pastor's wife. Colored Labor In Shirt Factory. Another opportunity has come to the colored people of Roanoke in the form of a shirt factory recently installed here and which will employ only colored help. The owners of the factory have another branch here in which white help is employed and which is located in the white section, but the last branch which has been in operation for the past two weeks is located in the heart of the colored section. The management leased the first floor of a building owned by Dr. D. W. Harth, and known as the Harth Hall on Henry street. This made an ideal place for such factory as it situated back from the street and well equipped for heat and water and is well ventilated. It could hardly have answered the purpose better had it been built for it. Only women are employed and preferably those who have had some experience in using a machine, as every part of the shirt is made on the machine. At present about 26 women are at work and the company hopes to increase this number to twice this present force. This will be done as soon as a sufficient number of reliable women can be secured. Employees are started at $3.00 per week and as soon as they learn the trade they are allowed to do piece work; at which they will be able to make from $6.00 to $12.00 per week. A splendid opportunity for the industrious women of Roanoke. The lecture delivered at the St. Paul M. E. Church last Friday night by Dr. Hatcher, of the John Brown Memorial A. M. E. Church was a great success. A large crowd was out to hear him and all were well satisfied when he had finished. Preliminary to his address were solos, duets and a recital by the pastor, Rev. Bean, all of which were enjoyed very much. The Women's Advance Club of the High St. Church was organized Sunday afternoon with the following officers, Mrs. Mary Penn, President; Mrs. Fannie Hendricks, Vice President; Mrs. Martha Whales, Treasurer and Mrs. Hattie B. Dugrover, Secretary. The Club will have on sale every Saturday home-made pies and cakes and salads at reasonable prices. They will be on sale at the Gainsboro Cooperative Mercantile Co., cor. 4th and Henry streets. Mrs. Alice Williams has opened a restaurant at No. 12 North Henry street, and will be glad to serve her friends. Mrs. Mary C. Jones of 231 9th Ave., N. E., was called to the bedside of her mother, Mrs. Anna Jones, who has been sick for quite awhile. We are glad to say that she is improving. Mr. William Hale has returned to the city after spending the summer in Hartford, Conn. He says Roanoke seems good to him. Mrs. Cora Watkins Perry of Bristol, Tenn., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Watkins of 150 Third Ave., N. W. She will return Saturday. Miss Carrie Wynn and Mr. Frank Wynn of Lynchburg, are visiting Mr. J. E. Holland, 120 Third Ave., N. W. The stork visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Booker and left a fine boy. For first class service at all hours, call at George W. Simpson's, 600 Gainsboro Ave. Dr. A. J. Davis of Charlotte, N. C., a recent graduate of Howard University is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Dennis. Dr. Davis graduated from the dental department. John Saunders of Martinsville, was the guest of Mrs. Green Penn on her return from Ingleside Seminary, where she entered her notice, Miss Leora Haris. Mr. Dewey Day, who has been in Kingport, Tenn. for some time stopped in the city to see his people. He was enroute to Richmond, Vn. Miss Lottie Hale left for Kittrell College, N. C. We wish Miss Hale a successful term. Mr. R. W. Chils, 230 Patton Avc. has returned from Hunting, W. Vn., where he attended the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Nellie Brown, who died October the 20th. See Mr. J. C. Dugger for The Journal and Guide. LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE HAS ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING The Local Business League had a very enthusiastic meeting Wednesday night in the office of the Virginia Biennial Insurance Company. A goodly number of members were present and much interest and enthusiasm were injected into the discussions of the evening. The president, Mr. J. T. P. Cross, roundly scored the business men of the city who are members and fail to attend the meetings or take any part in the activities of the league. Other members present made expressions sanctioning his remarks. A brief discussion arose regarding Norfolk's commercial' rating which brought about the question of improving the credit status among Negro Business men of the city. Mr. Louis S. Tenette, a new acquisition to the service department of The Guide Publishing Company, Inc., was elected to membership and addressed the body. The league voted to have literature printed with which to begin a vigorous membership campaign among the business men and women of the city. Mr. William M. Rich, cashier of the Brown Savings Bank, made an address in which he paid high tribute to the Virginia State Business League Bulletin and asked that the local league extend the committee in charge of its publication a vote of hearty thanks for its production. Mr. J. T. D. Cross, who is secretary of the State League, made some very flattering remarks regarding the publication. The Publication Committee feels very much encouraged by the reception the Bulletin has received from all sections of the State and country. Among those who have paid the Bulletin tribute are Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary and promoter of the National League; Mr. William Anthony Aery, in charge of the Publicity Department of Hampton Institute; Mr. Ablion Halsey, National League organizer, Mr. A. A. Thomas, head of the printing division of Tuskegee Institute, and the daily and weekly press.

HOME SEEKERS WILL FIND THEIR OPPORTUNITY ON PAGE TWO ORGANIZED FAIR ASSOCIATION OUTGROWTH OF "NEGRO DAY" AT ROCKY MOUNT FAIR-ATTENDANCE LARGE AND EXHIBITS WERE CREDITABLE. (By O. R. Pope). Rocky Mount, N. C., Oct. 12.—Or last Friday night, October 6th, there was organized in Mt. Zion Baptist Church a Negro Fair and Progress Association, to be composed of the Negroes of Edregcomb, Nash, Halifax and Wilson counties. The object of this association appears to be not only to inaugurate and conduct a Negro Fair in Rocky Mount, but to maintain a Negro Press Bureau in Rocky Mount, and to take up any other matters that are for the general uplift of the Negroes of these four counties. Mr. C. C. McIntire was elected temporary chairman and Dr. M. A. Talley, who is the prime mover in the organization, is chosen temporary secretary. A committee was chosen to draw up a constitution for the association and to submit the same at the next meeting, Thanksgiving Day. The committee is as follows: Mr. Talley, Dr. Bryan, Mr. McIntyre, Atty. Rich, Mr. P. Richardson of Nashville. The meeting was a representative one. There were gentlemen from all four counties interested in the movement. Short addresses were made by Editor Young of the Journal and Guide, Dr. Love of Raleigh, Secretary of the Negro State Fair; Dr. Talley and others. These counties are in the "blood belt" of North Carolina; the Negroes pay tax on nearly $4,000,000 worth of property and are able to conduct successfully such an organization. The movement is another progressive step by the forward looking Negroes of this section. Dr. Morris Speaks. The Negro Day at the Rocky Mount Fair, was a huge success. A crowd estimated to be between four and five thousand Negroes, thronged the midway, crowded the exhibit halls, and spread itself over every part of the big grounds last Saturday. There was perfect order with out suggestion of rowdiness anywhere. The police had nothing to do. It was a big gathering of the better class of Negroes of Halifax, Nahab Wilson, and Edgecomb counties. There were a people there too; and they seemed to enjoy the day fully as well as the colored people. It was a fitting climax to the big fair. It represented the indefattable efforts of the supervisor, the Roy, Dr. Talloy. To him and his efficient corps' of assistants must be given the credit for this big history making day. The exhibits were surpassed by no fair except in quantity. There were industrial and manual arts, artistic needle work, school exhibits, agricultural, educational. The J. K. Brick School exhibit was particularly noticeable for its quality and artistic arrangement. Many ladies of the city and the surrounding territory were awarded prizes for their work. Prizes were also given the men in the agricultural and live stock departments. There were races and various other free attractions. But the crowning feature of the day was the magnificent speech of Dr. Morris of Norfolk, Va. It was a gem, not only of beautiful rhetoric and expletives, but of deep thought and digestible common sense. It was a sane discussion of the race problem. It was unanswerable argument. Many prominent people were present, among them: Dr. Love of Raleigh; Prof. Moore, Rural School Agent; Greensboro; Editor Young, Journal and Guide, Prof. T. S. Inborden, Taylor, LaCour, Fletcher, Mrs. Allen, Misses Lacour, Clark, Jones, all of Brick School; Mrs. Vick and several ladies from Wilson; Miss Battle, County Supervisor, Green County Schools; Mrs. Anthony, Weldon; Principal Reid and Dr. Hargrave, Wilson; Miss Esther Bryan, Supervisor Edgecomb County Schools, Tarboro; Miss A. M. Vann of The Journal and Guide. OUTLOOK GOOD FOR STATE FAIR (Special to Journal and Guide.) Raleigh, N.

EACH STAND CONTRADICTED FROM 1 TO 6 OF THE OTHERS Democratic Candidate Said That Our Army Was Ample and That We Did Not Have Enough Troops to Patrol the Border; That We Were on the Verge of a Maelatrom and That There Was No Critical Situation; That the National Guard Would Not Do and Then That It Must Do. In the fourteen months extending from December 5th, 1914, to February 10th, 1916, there were fifteen messages, letters and speeches of President Wilson which I have read. In these fifteen messages, letters and speeches, during those fourteen months, President Wilson took forty-one different positions about preparedness and the measures necessary to secure it; and each of these forty-one positions contradicted from one to six of the others. In many of his speeches the weasel words of one portion of the speech took all the meaning out of the words used in another portion of that speech; and these latter words themselves had a weasel significance as regards yet other words. He argued for preparedness and against preparedness. He stated that our army was ample; and that we did not have enough troops to patrol the Mexican border in time of peace. He said the world was on fire, and that sparks were liable to drop anywhere and cause us to burst into flame; and he also said that there was no immediate danger. He said that there was no sudden crisis; and then again that he did not know what a single day would bring forth. He said that we were on the verge of a maelstrom; and then that there was no special or critical situation. He said the danger was constant and immediate; and also that we were not threatened from any quarter. He said that there was no fear among us; and also that we were in daily danger of seeing the vital interest and honor of the country menaced and the flag of the United States stained with impunity. He said that we were in very critical danger of being involved in the great European struggle; and also that there was no need to discuss the question of defense, or to get nervous or excited about it. In one and the same speech, he said that a sufficient number of men would volunteer, and that if they did not he would be ashamed of America; and he also said that he did not know of any law which laid upon them the duty of coming into the army, if it should be necessary to call for volunteers. He said that we needed 500,000 volunteers, and that if there was any legitimate criticism of this demand it was because it was too small; and as soon as Congressman Hay objected to the plan, he promptly abandoned it. He said that the National Guard was not the proper body upon which to rely; and then not only changed his own mind but forced his own Secretary of War out of his cabinet, because this Secretary possessed less flexible convictions and was unable instantly to reverse himself when going at full speed.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Bohalf of Mr. Hughes. Mr. Hughes is seeing how big the west is, and the west is seeing how big Mr. Hughes is. It is a happy arrangement. "IGNOBLE EASE" AND PEACE- FUL SLOTH ARE NOT PEACE. There is nothing that we of this country so much need as to practice the doctrine of service. As a people we need the sterner virtues even more than we need the softer virtues. Material prosperity, bodily case, money, pleasure, are all desirable; but woe to us if we consider them as the be-all and end-all of our private lives or of our collective national life! Woe to us if our material prosperity brings in its wake lethargy of spirit and deadness of soul! Let us in our lives apply the great doctrines of duty and of service. Above all let us realize that lofty profession is a mischievous sham when it is not translated into efficient performance. Among the companions of Lucifer in Milton's mighty epile there was none among the fiercer fiends so dangerous as he who "With words clothed in reg Counselled ignoble ease and peaceful sloth, Not peace." —From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, In Behalf of Mr. Hughes.

Mothers are sometimes so thoughtless as to neglect the colds which their children contract. The inflammation of the mucous membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child has chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this loathsome disease will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted.

In his kneeling to the demands of the trainmen, in his sacrifice of the sacred principle of arbitration on the altar of peace-at-any-price, we see, in review, the whole philosophy of the Wilson theory of government and nationality. "It is better to run, than to fight." That theory is at work in American government today for the first time.—Boston Journal. The Wilson Waltz In view of recent events the following formula overheard on a hotel veranda may be of interest: The Wilson waltz, one step forward, three steps backward, hesitate, then sidestep. The Administration is depressed by the reflection that under no circumstances can it postpone election day. Wilson insists that he will never recognize government by assassination, but he hasn't cut off relations with those who have assassinated Americans. The first President and the first Congress that ever submitted to a hold-up. And, by the way, nobody will ever be able to claim this was a rpgular Democratic Administration unless we have a bond issue before March 4, 1917. Betting on Hughes and Wilson is dangerous both to Democrats and Republicans. In one of the New England states such a bet was made a few days ago. The officers heard of it, and they arrested the Republican on a charge of robbery and sent the Democrat to an insane asylum. Be careful. One thing we must all admit—the President is never too proud to side-step. A surplus of $5,200,000 from the postal service, during the fiscal year ending June 30, is reported by Postmaster-General Burleson. With the department more than paying expenses, it would seem that the executive officials could afford to keep on the payroll members of the National Guard who responded when the President called out the Organized Millitia for duty on the border. President Wilson seems to have founded his diplomacy on a rock which is off its base most of the time. The Eastern witsmiths persist in referring to the Secretary of the Navy as Miss Josephine Daniels. No wonder the Woman's Party is camping on the trait of the Administration! Mr. Wilson forgot to mention the pledges of economy in the 1912 platform. "In his diplomacy," says Ollie James, "the President has sounded a new note." What, another one? It begins to appear that that single-track mind system will have to be temporarily double-tracked. A few weeks hence, of course, it will be side-tracked. WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE PEACE. The supporters of Mr. Wilson say that the American people should vote for him because he has kept us out of war. It is worth while to remember that this is a claim that cannot be advanced either on behalf of Washington or of Lincoln. Neither Washington nor Lincoln kept us out of war. Americans, and the people of the world at large, now reverence the memories of these two men because, and only because, they put righteousness before peace. They abhorred war. They shunned unjust or wanton or reckless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriotism which bade them put duty first, not safety first, which bade them accept war rather than an unrighteous and disastrous peace. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Washington. They were the Tories. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Lincoln. They were the Copperheads. The men who now with timid hearts and quavering voices praise Mr. Wilson for having kept us out of war are the spiritual heirs of the Tories of 1776 and the Copperheads of 1864. The men who followed Washington at Trenton and Yorktown and suffered with him through the winter at Valley Forge and the men who wore the Blue under Grant and the Gray under Lee were men of valor, who sacrificed everything to serve the right as it was given them to see the right. They spurned with contemptuous indignation the counsels of the feeble and cowardly folk who in their day spoke for peace-at-any-price. — From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Befall of Mr. Hughes.

Saturday, October 7, 1916 THE RACE EPISCOPATE. The Episcopal General Convention, now in session in St. Louis, is to again consider the question of creating a Negro Bishop of the Church. This question has been before the General Convention for years, with no definite action upon it at any session of the body. The Convention of 1913, appointed a Joint Committee on a Racial Episcopate, which after careful study of the problem, has submitted the following majority and minority reports: "RESOLVED: That the following proposed amendment to the Constitution be referred to the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution, with instructions to report from the same as soon as they shall have been able to examine and consider it. "Amend Article VI of the Constitution by adding the following section, to be numbered Sec. 4:" "See, 4. The House of Bishops may establish Missionary Districts upon racial lines, within the bounds of the Dioceses and Missionary Districts authorized by Sec. 1, severally, or in such grouping as it may determine; Provided, that in case of a Diocese such racial jurisdiction within the diocesan borders shall first be ceded by the Bishop and, the Convention of the Diocese." "In the interpretation of the Constitution and Canons the people and Churches of such Racial Missionary Districts shall occupy the same relation to the General Convention and have the same rights to representation of the Diocese." "No such cession by a Diocese, or a division of a Missionary District, shall carry with it the members of the ceded race who may be, or become, members of: congregation not included in such cession or division." "The House of Bishops may, from time to time, change, increase or diminish the territory into which such Racial Missionary District extends, in such manner as may be prescribed by Canon. Such Racial Jurisdiction within the bounds of a Diocese may be retroceded by the House of Bishops if the Bishop and Convention of such Diocese shall consent to receive it. "All of which we respectfully submit, Joseph Blount Cheshire, George Herbert Kinsolving, Theodore D. Bratton, George Gordon Smeade, A. B. Hunter, Philip Cook, James H. Dillard, George Gordon King." The following resolution was offered as a substitute by the Rev. C. Braxton Bryan, and was supported by those members of the Commission whose names are appended thereto: "RESOLVED, That under present conditions it is our opinion that the best interests of the Negro will be served by putting into use the provisions of the Canons for the appointment of Suffragan Bishops. William A. Guerry, Frederick F. Reese, C. Braxton Bryan, Ernest M. Stiles, Joseph Packard." The following extract from the report of the Joint Commission is interesting as it shows the real sentiment of the majority of its members on this very important question. "Thus it is only as the Negro differentiates himself as a race that he is free to exercise the power of his manhood and enjoy in the fullest measure the liberties of his sonship in relation with others. It may be added that only so can he attain the fullest development of his heritage as a man and as a race. This is to say, that when we have helped the Negro to the achievement of racial self-sufficiency, which is born of accomplishment, to self-mastery, which follows moral victory, and to pride of race, which is only possible when these victories have been gained, we shall have fixed within him the passion for social integrity, which is as justly natural as is that for racial reproduction. Separation of races is greatly misinterpreted if it is not recognized to be the first necessary step toward the achievement of these ends. This is fully recognized by Negro leaders of the South. It is difficult to conceive how anyone can imagine that a race can be honored by repression or helped to self-expression by the practical destruction of its racial identity. If the sympathy of the white race is to be gained at such cost the price is to dear. Happily this is not necessary in proportion as the racial Violence. Alyly and faithfully Residence (photos) the representative of his race does he both merit and receive the sympathy which helps, and the respect which honors and elevates. "We submit that the real question, which will persist in the Church so long as radically different races exist is this: How can the Church absorb into herself the different races, while applying to each the Catholic principle of the 'liberty of sons of God?' In Asia this question will inevitably and naturally be answered by the complete organization of Asiatics under their own spiritual leaders, so soon as foreign helps and guides are no longer needed. There is rejoicing over every ordination of a native, and the whole Church looks forward with unalloyed interest and glad anticipation to the day when Japan and China shall be able to address bishops of their own race as 'Right Reverend Fathers in God.' Our own mission in Liberia already enjoys this very properly coveted blessing. The African that is ready enjoys this very properly They are not less Negroes because transported to our shore; they are all the more Negroes because, first under tutors and governors, and now under conditions of freedom and of an enlightened Christian civilization, some of them have achieved the interpretation of a great sleeping race through the success of hand and head and heart and soul, and have been prophets of a progressive racial awakening and leaders of a heroic racial endeavor." PUBLIC OPINION School Is Worth $9 a Day. "Every day spent in school the children earn $9." So says the state superintendent, C. P. Cary, of the Wisconsin schools, and this is how he figures it out: "Uneducated laborers earn on the average $500 a year for 40 years, a total of $20,000. "High school graduates earn on the average $1,000 a year for forty years, a total of $40,000. "This education requires twelve years of school of 180 days each, a total of 2,160 days. If 2,160 days at school add $20,000 in the income for life, then each day school adds $9.02." As if to add force to the summary Superintendent Carey states that the official records of the Bureau of Education form the basis of this estimate. Such a statement as this ought to settle any question of money value in the minds of those who contemplate leaving school before finishing the High School. Few schools quit school because of sickness, perhaps a larger number on account of indulence, but the largest number of those who drop by the way are influenced by the desire to earn money immediately. These last are the ones who believe they are losing time in the school, and that by leaving a few years earlier, they are getting ahead of those who graduate later. Faulty reasoning—according to Superintendent Carey they earn on the average of $9 per week and lose for every week they miss school on the average $45. As striking as this whole presentation is, after all it is but one side—the money side. The high school graduate not only earns more than his uneducated brother, but he gets more out of life. He has more improved standards of living, he is more intelligent, more progressive, all in all a better citizen—Afro-American. A Soldier Of France. His name was Dumas, Captain Dumas, not D'Artagnan, but there is a certain appropriateness in the fact. He was mortally wounded in the battle of Clery on August 3, and a week later he died. Captain Dumas enlisted as a Pontifical Zouave in 1867 when he was 19. He was a soldier all his life, fighting in the Franco-Prussian war, in Algiers, Tunis, on the Ivory Coast, in the Sudan, the Gaboons, in Morocco, and down in the Transvaal. At the age of 66 the captain again offered his sword to France when the great war in Europe began, but on account of age his services were sympathetically declined. The Belgian army, however, accepted him. He fought in the battle of the Marne, for a time in the Dardanelles campaign, and at last at Verdun. He was often wounded, in the battle of the Marne six times. No man ever liked war better in its dangers or loved France more, so that the official notice of his death was all that he could have asked: "Captain Dumas, after a life of honor and loyalty, on August 12 died for France, the death he had always desired."—New York Sun.

GET LIFE TERM FOR KILLING CHAUFFEUR Two White Men Found Guilty Of Murdering Richard Billings And Auto Stealing. Suffolk, Va., Oct. 9.—Coleman Merritt and W. L. Goodson, both young white men, and of good North Carolina families were sentenced this morning in the Nansenond county court room, to serve life sentences in the State prison, for the murder of Richard Billings, colored, on the Norfolk-Suffolk road on the night of the 14th of June, 1916. Goodson and Merritt appeared in the court room this morning with their counsel, Judge R. H. Rawles, J. H. Corbitt of Suffolk, and W. H. Yarborough and W. M. Persons of Lewiston, N. C. When the indictment was read, and the prisoners were asked whether they were "guilty or not guilty." Judge R. H. Rawles answered that under the peculiar circumstances of the case, his clients would waive the trial by jury and would ask that the judge impose a sentence of life imprisonment. rather than the death sentence. "Owing to inscrutable decrees of Providence," said Judge Rawles, the punishment in this case, as in countless others, falls upon the innocent, rather than the guilty. The father and uncle and relatives of these young men are suffering for them, and without any further statement, the case is submitted to the court." Judge James L. McLemore, in an impressive charge to Merritt and Goodson, pronounced the sentence of life imprisonment. Both men were visibly moved, and the entire court room was silent and awed during the brief but solemn scene. Merritt and Goodson are young men, well dressed and clean shaven. The crime for which they are to spend the rest of their lives in the state penitentiary, was the killing of Richard Billings, whose car they had hired in Portsmouth, to come out a distance of some miles. The body of Billings, shot through the head, was found lying by the roadside, not far from Wilroy's hide on the night of the tenth of June. Persons in Portsmouth described the men who hired the man, with his car, and the car was seen in Holland on the night of the fourteenth, and later in Franklin, with the two men answering to the description of Merritt and Goodson. Later on they were arrested in North Carolina, near Louisburg, and the car was found hidden in the woods. The wheels had been painted another color, and the identification marks had been chiselled off as far as possible. The two men were arrested and brought back to Suffolk by Chief of Police Broughton of Portsmouth. As far as could be learned they made no confession of the crime, but agreed, through their attorneys, to ask that the life sentence be imposed. The father of Merritt and the uncle of Goodson were present today. The commonwealth was represented by Everett and Hutton. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. A large and appreciative congregation filled Metropolitan Church last Wednesday night to hear an address by Rev. Mrs. Peters, Missionary of the A. M. E. Z. Church to the Gold Coast of Africa. Mrs. Peters with her husband, Prof. Peters, have labored in the dark continent for a number of years and have wonderfully planted the church work there. Mrs. Peters came to America early in the spring to attend the General Conference, which met in Louisville, Ky. While there she received her ordination. Accompaning her is an African princess who is able to speak five different languages. Owing to the epidemic of infantile paralysis the child could not come to Norfolk. Her appeal for Africa was most touching and pathetic. Work done by the Africans was shown, which were very deserving of praise. A collection of $20.00 was raised. Refreshments were served free. A TRIP TO WASHINGTON, D. C. (By A. M. Yann.) After two months of real rest this summer at my home, Como, N. C., my first trip in interest of the Journal and Guide was made to Washington, D. C., where I spent ten days. Those who have visited Washington will agree with me that it is the most beautiful of American cities. I visited many places of interest and was especially interested in the progress of the colored people, which is noticeable on every hand. I was delighted to shake hands with such men as Hon. John C. Dancy, Judge Robert H. Terrell, W. Calvin Chase, editor of the "Bee," Miss Nannie H. Burroughs and many others whom I would like to mention. I had the pleasure of visiting Freedmen's Hospital, accompanied by Dr. A. M. Curtis, and was shown through the entire building, the surgical ward, which Dr. Curtis is charge of maternity and children's wards, emergency ward, clinic, operating room, laundry, kitchen and drug department. Freedmen's is among the best equipped hospitals in the country. I also visited the National Training School, of which Miss Nannie H. Burroughs is founder and principal. The institution is situated upon a beautiful campus and has several well equipped buildings. Under Miss Burroughs leadership the plant has increased in value from $6,000 to $66,000. Washington has nearly 200 colored physicians, 21 drug stores, 42 undertakers, 40 colored policemen, 100 lawyers, 100 churches of various denominations, 3 weekly newspapers and a large number of business places. I visited the churches pastored by Drs. Taylor and Norman. Dr. Taylor gave us an opportunity to speak in interest of our work. Many in Washington are now reading our paper. While there I was guest in the home of Lawyer James E. Hunt, on Florida avenue. As the B. M. C. was in session I had a splendid chance to meet hundreds of visitors from all parts of the country.

MODERATE PRICES FOR EYE GLASSES Dr. Masrow Makes Reasonable Charges'in Every Case Because of the fact that Dr. J. E. Masrow, the eyesight specialist, is famed far and wide for his wonderful ability to quickly locate and remove the cause of eye troubles—no matter how obstinate the case may be—some persens have the idea that his charges may be high. It is the doctor's desire to correct this erroneous impression and to state clearly that he makes no charge whatever for consultation and in event that you need glasses you will find his prices even less than generally charged by others. Besides Dr. Marrow guarantees every pair of glasses he sells to give absolute satisfaction. Dr. Masrow's offices are at 405 405 1-2 Dickson Building. Phone 219 for appointment. Office hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. NEWS FERRY, VA. The farmers have finished harvesting their crops and are busy getting ready for the market.

Phone 7095, Norfolk THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE TAFT EXCORIATES HIS SUCCESSOR Asserts the Democratic Party and Its Candidate Are Seeking a Vote to Power by Disingenuous and Unsound Pleas. LEFT CLEAN SLATE FOR WRITING MEXICAN POLICY Former President Declares That the Passage Under Duress of the Adamson Bill Was One of the Greatest National Humiliations to Which Our Country Has Ever Been Subjected. Declaring that the campaign of 1916 is as important as the campaign of 1806 and resembles that campaign in that the Democratic party and its candidate are seeking a vote of power for disingenuous, unsound, but alluring reasons, William H. Tatt, former President of the United States, delivered the opening address of the New Jersey Republican state campaign at Trenton. Mr. Tatt said in part: The great public advantage in organization and combination of capital and of wage-earners we all recognize. The power they acquire may, however, become so great as to tempt to serious abuse and public injury, and they have done so. Hence, we have had the anti-trust law and the interstate commerce law, directed chiefly against combinations of capital but effecting in some measure combinations of labor. Labor lenders have sought exemption from such laws as a privileged class, and in some cases they have been successful. While Mr. Wilson in one of his memorandums attached to an appropriation bill avowed his opposition to such class legislation, he united with the Democratic Congress in passing, at the demand of the unions, the Clayton Act, which, the labor leaders claim, takes unions out of the limitations of the Trust Act. Unwise subservience to the demands of leaders of organized labor finds its crowning instance, however, in Mr. Wilson's dealing with the threatened strike of the Railway Orders of conductors, engineers, trainmen and switchmen. The Orders claim to control 400,000 men, who run the freight and passenger trains of the country, which constitute the arterial circulation of commerce, and are necessary not only to the business but to the health and life of the people. Were these men able to tie up the railways of the country, as they said they could and would, it would mean enormous loss in business, and great deprivation and suffering to the public. It would mean that many millions of other workmen would be thrown out of employment, and lose the high wages they are now receiving, because without commerce local industries cannot proceed. The Railway unions said to the railway president: "We wish an eight-hour day, with ten hours' pay, and if we work more than eight hours, we demand 50 per cent, more an hour for the extra hours. If you do not give us this, we will not only injure you, but we will bring disaster to the country." The railway managers refused the demand, but offered to submit it to arbitration. They said it would increase their cost of operation, $0,000,000, and that this would have to come out of the pockets of the railway stockholders, by a reduction of profits, or out of the shipping public by an increase of rates. The labor leaders said they had had arbitration in the past and that it was not satisfactory, that now unless their demands were fully granted, no power under heaven could prevent the strike, with its disastrous consequences. Under the duress of the threat, the President of the United States and Congress of the United States succumbed. It was one of the greatest national humiliations to which the people of this country have ever been subjected. It struck most a blow at the principle of arbitration for the settlement of industrial disputes. Mr. Wilson as a publicist attacked the enactment of a federal child labor law as an absurd extravagance, and a departure from constitutional limitations, and now within the last sixty days he has personally visited Congress to urge the adoption of exactly such a measure. For the purpose of erading responsibility for present conditions, it is advanced in behalf of Mr. Wilson and the Democratic Administration that the conditions in Mexico were an inheritance from the last Administration. The last Administration did nothing to complicate Mr. Wilson's problems. Huerta had been twelve days in power when Mr. Wilson came in. Up to that time nothing had been done committing the government to one policy or another. Had the Republican Administration been continued, Huerta would have been recognized, but with only twelve days before the coming in of a new Administration it would have been entirely improper and inconsiderate for the outgoing Administration to commit the incoming to any policy on the subject. Mr. Wilson can not shift the blame for his blunders in Mexico. He had a clean slate upon which to write - then he came in.

DEPT. 111 CHICAGO The college men in the National Guard along the Mexican border are joining in droves, according to the officers of the league, and many have written in to signify their discontent with the Administration's handling of the Mexican situation. William R. Moody, son of Dwight Lyman Moody, the famous evangelist, wrote to the league offering his assistance in East Northfield, Mass., and said: "I am among those who feel very strongly that it would be a National disaster to have the present Administration continued another season, feeling deeply the humiliation to which our country has been subjected in the sight of the world, by the lack of any foreign policy, and by the vacillation of its dealings." The Administration ought to be able to take a comfortable rest. It has turned pretty much everything over to commissions from the Mexican question to the tariff. The talent for shirking responsibilities comes handy No extra charge for extreme Peg Tops COL, ROOSEVELT APPEALS FOR THE ELECTION OF MR. HUGHES. I appeal to my fellow citizens that they shall elect Mr. Hughes and repudiate Mr. Wilson because only by so doing can they save America from that taint of gross selfishness and cowardice which we owe to Mr. Wilson's substitution of adroit elocation for straightforward action. The稼艮ment interests of the Amer-Diocese people lie, not in ease and thorized for the moment, no mat- grouping now obtained, as Mr. Wilson vided, thineach us; but in resolute racial juxorship of the ideals of n-borders shand international demo-Bishop unity, and in preparedness Diocese, this championship effo- "In the our strength.

Mr. Hughes, to the exact contrary, embodies the ideal of service rendered through conscientious effort in the face of danger and difficulty. Mr. Wilson turns his words into deeds only if this can be achieved by adroit political maneuvering, by bartering a deauched civil service for congressional votes on behalf of some measure which he had so eliminally promised to oppose. Our own self-respect demands that we support the man of deeds done in the open against the man of furtive and shifting political maneuvers: the man of service against the man who whenever opposed by a dangerous foe always takes refuge in empty elocation.—From the Speech of Col. Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in behalf of Mr. Hughes. NATIONAL COLLEGE LEAGUE Thirty thousand college alumni have enrolled so far in the Hughes National College League, 511 Fifth avenue, New York. The oldest living graduate of Brown University, which graduated Governor Hughes, enrolled this week. He is the Rev. John Hunt of Springfield, Ohio, ninety-three years old, Brown, 1842. The league challenged the Woodrow Wilson College Men's League this week to join it in "having any reputable audit company" in this city check up immediately from the original cards your actual enrollments of Princeton alumni and ours, your total enrollments and ours, and your enrollments from any college you may select and ours." OUTFIT FREE WILSON DEEMED IT FUTILE TO STAND FIRMLY. President Wilson seeks to justify himself on the ground that it was "futile" and dangerous to "stand firmly." This is an appeal that can with equal truth he made by every soldier who runs away in battle. He further alleges his belief that the cause he championed "has the sanction of the judgment of society in its favor." I remember thirty-old years ago in the Black Hills a local vigilance committee which was in doubt about hanging a suspected wrongdoer. While they were discussing the matter, there appeared over the neighboring divide a frowsy, elderly horseman in a lion duster, who promptly galloped towards them waving his arms and shouting "Hang him! Hang him!" The leader of the vigilants at once asked the frowsy stranger...what he knew of the facts, whereupon the stranger answered: "I do not know anything about the facts, and I never saw the man before; but there's eleven of you and only one of him, and I believe in majority rule." This is merely a picturesque paraphrase of what Mr. Wilson calls action under the sanction of society." It exemplifies the principle upon which President Wilson has acted in those public matters, internal and external, where he was threatened with the use of force. —From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Bothell of Mr. Hughes. --- GREENVILLE, N. C. The Tar River Institute opened October 2 with an enrollment of eighty students. The Sycamore Hill Baptist Church is going right up. The Graded School is doing exceedingly well this year. Dr. B. W. Dance preached a wonderful sermon to the Old Eastern Association last Friday evening which convened at Newbern, N. C. Greenville is still making welcome daily comers seeking work. Mrs. Maggie Whitley is back at her post again after a spell of sickness. Mrs. Athia Barnhill left this week to attend the Sisters State Convention at Littleton, N. C. Rev. A. A. Smith will preach at the First Baptist next Sunday at 11 o'clock. The Bear Creek Association met here this week and among the many good things said the address of Dr. Dance on the subject of "Efficiency" was heartily applauded. The A. M. E. Zion Church has purchased a new site and expecting to remodel soon. Prof. G. T. Hill is enrolling students every day. The Reason. "I never buy rattle tickets. I never won anything in a rattle in my life." "Been unlucky, eh?" "Wouldn't say that. I've never bought a rattle ticket."—Detroit Free Press. BROOKLYN, N. Y. A very interesting and helpful program has been going on at the Trinity Baptist Church, this city for the past week, and will continue until October 17th. The occasion is the installation of the new pastor, Rev. C. D. Patterson, D. D., of Pittburg, Pa., who succeeds Rev. S. W. Timms, who resigned to accept the Cool Springs Baptist Church at Franklin, Va. After spending some time with her nieces and nephews, Mr. and Mrs. Elva Boone and Mr. and Mrs. Milton Skeeter, Mrs. Jeston Ashe left for her home in Cambridge, Mass. Miss Gabriella Skeeter of 1281 Atlantic Ave., is very ill at this writing. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE FINNEGAN'S PHILOSOPHY Pitiless Publicity "I see Mr. Hughes wud like to know what's come to 'Pitless Publicity.' Meself could tell him. 'Where's 'Pitless Publicity?'" says Hughes. "In the Ash Can," says I. "Twas all right on the stump, but in Washinton 'tis differ. The Harp that watest through Trenton 'hails—I mune Tumulty. Whin he bursts into song now he picks his chune!" "The not that Prisidint Wilson is less public than Candydate Wilson—he's less pitless. "Tis like the showman. He tells ye all, 'an' more, about 'th' illyfant, but he has mutual res-vashume about the spotted baby. "So it is wid Wilson. He's so fond of the hard heart in 'Pitiless Publicity.' How about the Postmasters? axes the refawrummers. 'We'll never tell you, says the C'mishum. For why? says the League. 'Twid embrars th' Administrashrun, says the C'mishum. And the people laughs. 'Ye fired th' Hid of the Cinsus, says Hughes. 'Ye lie. says Redfield. 'He raysned widout bein' axed, says he. 'Ye lie myself, says Durand. 'Te wowd me yed fire me, an' ye gev me place to a pol'telan.' says Durand. 'Ixacly what I said,' yells Pink Whiskers, 'I was gain to fire ye amnyway, but I nivor axed ye to raysine, says Pinky. An' the people roars. "Tell us about all thim Dishurvin' Dimmercats, says the people. An' Washin'ton is sweep' be a storm iv silence. "But don't ye think there's no publicity at all. Teddy himself was none gunnish with the papers, but he cud be quiet too. "We'll grab some land in Vinzucely, says the Ambassydure, 'ten'pril, says he. 'You'll not,' says Teddy, 'you'll agree to arbitrate,' says he. 'or,' he says, 'in ttn duys Dewey'will be there,' says Teddy. "Me Ryle Masther will never consint,' says th' other. Thin,' says Teddy, 'I snd Dewey at wanst. There's no use waitin', Teddy says, 'Howid 'em,' says the Ambassydure. 'We agree,' says he, an' dvlil a bit did we know how it was for a dozen year. "We'll have Ferdy Carey alive on the Basil Razkook dead,' says Teddy, 'and back comes Ferdy. An' the papers says, 'On demand in the State Department Ferdy Carey has been released.' An' that all. "How is it now? The greasers slaughters twinty at Santy Isabel, 'Apother Mexican Crisis,' says the headlines, 'Twinty Americans killed,' they says, 'The President Calm,' says they, 'Atos Bacon and Eggs, Plays Goluf,' says the headlines. An' the paper goes on: "The Pristidint's appytite at breakfast was good, th' leader in the nashin' gettin' outside iv grape fruit, bacon an' eggs, hot biscuit an' coffee. Whin Doother Grayson announced the bill iv fare the tinsun over Mexico was much relaved. "The Pristidint is solvin' in privacy the fateful question, 'Will me threat last?' The answer is waited wid feverish anxiety." "Mondah the papers says: 'Nashunal Disaster! Sore Throat Feared! Panic at the capital! The Pristidint Caim! "Consternation was spread among all classes today be the report that the Prisidint awoke with a sore throat. Strong men fainted before they can reach the nearest saloon. There is talk iv appointh' a day iv prayer. It is hoped that Senior Arre-ye-on-though will claim that the dend Americans raysisted ixlenshum. A high authority states' that this wud end the crisis. The Prisidint made but wan remark: "Av they'd not been there they'd not iv been kilt." "Choosdah, they says, 'Hope revives. No sore throat. Bitten by insect President calm. All Phrases iv Matter to be considered. "The anxiety in the Capital was relieved today be the followin' bulletin: "'The Prisidint has a slight perforation in the cuticle over the infarcy maxillary caused be a insect bitin' him while asleep. The patient was too proud to scratch. (Signed) Grayson." "It is reported also that General Scott will go to the border to bury the dead, and apologize to the insurgents. He will axe Carranzy, whether he wnd accept a loan if offered. This is considered the thrue 'sulton iv the difficulty.' "Winsdah the Prisidint goes motorin', Thursday he writes a note and General Scott staris for the border. Fridah the headlines says 'Peace in Europe near. Prisident studyin' terms. Will he stop the war? Another note expected. Capital excited over report." "But we're comforted be bein' towld the Prisidint will not be betrayed into hasty accksum." "Sundah, he's considerin' th' Armenian question, an' Mondah he advises Grandmothers about suckin' eggs. And another crisis is past. "So it goes ivory day. As I was sayin', there's a plenty publicity, but 'tis not the brand iv 1912." Evidently Mr. Wilson has made up his mind about something. He refers in his acceptance speech to "the sovereign authority of Mexico." He may have decided to whom he was referring. Less than two years ago he was not sure whether it was the soldier-bandit Villa or the grocer-grafter Carranza. It's not to be wondered that Thomas A. Edison favors Wilson's re-election. The electrical wizard naturally likes anything that switches on and off. NEWS OF THE CITY CHURCHES SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH. Services were largely attended Sunday. At 6:30 a good number were out to the prayer meeting which was led by Sister Maggie Roe. From there we went to the pond where the Spirit of the Lord met us and Baptised six happy souls, among the number was the son of the pastor. At 9:30 a large number were present to the Sunday School. Superintendent Mitchell being absent, Bro. L. P. James acted as the Superintendent and the lesson was enjoyed by all. At 11:30 a large crowd listened to the sermon on the life of Joseph as compared with the life of Christ. Two came forward and joined at the close. At 3 p. m. the house was crowded to the communion, and there we gave the right hand of fellowship to ten. And the spirit came down upon us all, and we could but feel that the Lord was with us. Next Sunday a.m. the pastor will speak from the subject: "The Burning Bush." All are invited to be present. The Lord is wonderfully blessing us, and the dove of peace still moves among us. JOHN M.

At Samaritan Hall the other evening, our city barbers tried to outshave themselves at their annual Stag-Party. Mr. D. W. Lee, one of the very best barbers of the city, was toastmaster. The shavors say that he is not only a horseman and barber, but that he is a man who knows just how to handle a body of them when they assemble to shave bones. It is very regretable that Miss Elma M. Hunter, who left last week to resume her studies in the V. N. & I. Normal at Petersburg, Va., had to return to her home Monday, on account of sickness.

Jordan, Correspondent OFFICERS THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE with the same report, since they are on opposite sides. Just before leaving for Norfolk, the other day, to pull off some races, Mr. D. W. Lee suggested to the reporter that he is in need of a good barber at his Regal Barber Shop in E. Washington street. A barber who knows his business and wants to work, would do well to see or write Mr. Lee now. The chair is awaiting the right man. We hear only words of highest commendation for the recent issue of the Virginia State Negro Business League Bulletin, which made its appearance last week. This is the home of its president, Mr. W. H. Crocker, and Suffolk tried herself in advertisements. Perfectly natural, of course. That is the way we do things over in this neck of the woods. What do you think of Suffolk and the Tidewater Fair, anyway? You had better be here all of week after next if you want to see the affairs of a great fair, during a fair week of fair weather. And if you wish to fare well, you will do well to bring your fare with you, and we will greet you with a most cordial farewell at the Tidwater Fair. See? And do you see the big advertisements on this page? Messrs. J. F. Peel and Mr. Johnney Cohoon, managers of the Southside Mercantile and Supply Company, say that the advance of the price of green and staple groceries does not keep them from selling and delivering the very best at the best prices. And Taylor & Lee say that they are cleaning and pressing your clothes and brick at the same old stand. Meanwhile, a barber is wanted. Mr. W. P. Graves, Sr., of Reidsville; Dr. W. H. Graves of Charlotte; Prof. C. F. Graves of Elizabeth City, and Mr. H. J. Graves, student in Shaw University, N. C.; father and brothers of the late Prof. W. P. Graves, Jr., were in the city last week attending the funeral of Prof. Graves, which was held at the Pine Street Baptist Church Wednesday afternoon. The Rev. Dr. C. C. Sommerville of Portsmouth, Va., an old teacher of the deceased, preached the sermon. Prof. Graves was also a brother of Mrs. Arlie Harrell, wife of the Rev. Dr. J. A. Harrell, pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city. The funeral was largely attended. Interment in Oak Lawn Cemetery. Mr. W. H. Crocker, Funeral Director. What a time we shall have if the weather man will just only hold his temper another two weeks. Let us hope so. The reporter over heard two white business men say, the other day, "The Negroes have us skint, when it comes to showing what they are doing." The reference was to the Virginia State Negro Business League Bulletin, and the Tidewater Fair. They have seen both of them. Mrs. W. W. Thomas, who has been spending the summer with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Jordan in Pine street, has returned to her home in New York City. Little one-year-old Dorothy E. Willis came all the way from Norfolk Sunday, without her mother and father, to spend the week with her grandparents at the S. N. Training School. After spending six weeks with her sister, Mrs. Dr. T. D. Tharpe in Smith street, Mrs. Dr. Stevens has returned to her home in Clifton Forge, Va. Miss Christine Tharpe has entered school at Claremont, Va. It is said that the Rev. P. L. Boone, pastor of the Pine Street Baptist Church, preached his ablest sermon last Sunday morning, from the text: "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden." Those who are deeply concerned with the great possibilities of life were greatly relieved. Mr. J. D. Holloway, one of Suffolk's most successful insurance men, dropped into this office Monday, and handed us the cold cash for a subscription to The Journal and Guide. Next? Mr. Johnson, of Hampton, Va., spent Sunday in the city as the guest of Miss Margaret D. Slaughter in Pine street. Miss Margaret Slaughter, a graduate nurse of Dixie Hospital, has concluded a brief visit to her mother and sister, Mrs. Slaughter and Mrs. D. W. Lee, in Pine street, and now is in Newport News, Va., on professional business. At the "Casino," last Friday evening, a number of young people gave a "Surprise Party" in honor of Miss Margaret Slaughter. A beautiful bouquet of roses was presented to the guest of honor. A bouft luncheon, with fruit punch, was served. Miss Slaughter very gratefully expressed her surprise to those who made the occasion possible. Mr. D. W. Lee begins an advertisement in this issue. Read it. And he wants a good barber at his Regal Barber Shop. Fair Ground Baptists Entertain. The Rev. A. Boone is the much beloved pastor of the Fair Ground Baptist Church of this city. His long faithful service thoroughly ingratiates him with his people. "Mary the upright man" may be used as an appropriate epithet. He is one of our very few pastors who is of the good fortune to have a son in the ministry who is worthy of his father's name. This son is the Rev. M. F. Boone, of Bartow, Fla. He and his most excellent wife have been spending the summer with his father at Drivers, Va., and with friends in and about this city. Soon after his arrival, he made it known that he was the preaching son of his father. His many sermons at the Fair Ground Church showed that he is well qualified, and are favorably accepted by the large membership. He has made a deep and lasting impression. So much so, that the church felt called upon to render some visible token of their sincere appreciation. In his honor, the members assembled at the church on the evening of Wednesday, October the 4th. The ladies had elaborately prepared a supper in Odd Fellow's Hall. Such a supper as only these faithfuls can give. The home and country yards, and the whole market had been ransacked to the utmost just for this occasion. Every dainty of the season was served. At 6:30 everybody was there to his and her heart's delight. At 8:30 we all were in the church, just across the street, to be further entertained by a most excellently rendered program as follows: "Praise God," by the choir; Invocation, Scripture reading and hymn; prayer by the Rev. L. J. Powell; Solo by Miss Sarah Sharpe, and remarks by Mrs. M. F. Boone. Solo by Miss Flossie M. Hill; paper by the Rev. Mr. M. F. Boone, followed by a solo by Mrs. M. F. Boone. Then came the sermon. These Baptists hardly ever do anything without saying something from the Bible. Rev. M. F. Boone was introduced and preached a great sermon from Prov. 18.24—"A man that hath friends must show himself friendly." The sermon was replete in every way. He knew that he has friends in this church. Rev. Mr. W. M. Bridgeford followed with a fervent prayer, and Mrs. Virginia Veal sang a beautiful solo. Prof. W. H. Tate presided at the organ. A very liberal offering was taken and presented to the Rev. Boone and his wife. It was especially requested that Mrs. Boone repeat her solo, which she did to the very great delight to the large audience. She has a beautiful voice, and can sing. She is one of Florida's best public school teachers. Electric Lighted Drawing Room Sleeping Cars operated on trains Nos. 18 and 14 between Norfolk and Rousoke.

After the sermon by his son, he slowly came forward with tears in his eyes, looking over the audience, he expressed his praises to him for the work that he had done in being instrumental in the salvation of so many of those present, and for having raised up and dedicated a son for the great work of the ministry. The choir sang, "God be with you." The program was concluded at the beautiful home of Deacon and Mrs. Jenkin Sharpe, where ice cream and cake wereserved. Rev. and Mrs. Boone left for their home in Bartow, Fln., the next morning. Rev. H. L. Jones was master of ceremonies. For a Muddy Complexion.

CUMMINGS Norfolk Sanitarium Of The New Science of Healing all Discases Without Drugs or Operation by The German Bath System. 110 Washington At Norfolk, Virginia. Norfolk, Va., June 26th, 1915. This is to certify that I began treatment at the Norfolk Hydro-Sanitarium conducted by Rev. W. F. Cummings on September 18th, 1914. At that time I was a great sufferer and almost an invalid, having heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, and a general complication. I was unable to sleep at night and suffered with swelling of the limbs. I was not able to walk a great distance as my heart would palpitate too rapidly. I tried the physicians, both white and colored and found no relief. The last physician whom I went to see advised me to give up all my house work and go to some quiet spot, as medicines would do me very little, if any good. About that time I saw Rev. Cummings and had a talk with him. He advised me to begin his treatment at once and I would soon feel better. I did so and although my recovery has not been so rapid as some owing to the complication of diseases, yet I can say that through the help of the Lord and Rev. Cummings, I find my health very greatly improved, so much so that I am not only able to care for my own home but assist him as nurse in the Sanitarium for six months. I cheerfully recommend the German Bath System to all who suffer from ills of the body. May the Lord bless this work and may Rev. Cummings live long to carry on this noble work. Mrs. Lena C.

My trip embraced a jaunt through Dhwindle, Brunswick, Luenburg and Nottoway Counties, stopping at several places in each county, and lecturing and speaking to large audiences at each stop. The outlook for the order Knights of Gideon at each of these places is very bright, the people are well and prosperous and were very hospitable in their entertaining. I had the pleasure of visiting Shifloh Baptist Church, Blackstone, Va., Rev, Ashburn, pastor. Little Mount Baptist Church, Darleltown, Va., Rev, May Flitzgilles, pastor.

C., were entertained on Tuesday evening, October 3rd by the Senior Class of 1917. The Nurses' Home was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and ferns, and the class colors, gold and white. The reception was followed by a delicious supper, at which several addresses and complimentary speeches were made. Among the invited guests were the Rev. A. B. Hunter, D. D., and Mrs. Hunter, Dr. Jennie A. Duncan, Dr. J. O. Plummer, Dr. J. B. Davis, Dr. W. Haywood, Miss B. Richards, Mrs. L. R. Jackson, Messrs. R. Lightner, J. W. Holmes, B. W. Harris, Jr. E. Green, B. E. Chavis, Philip Cassoy, E. O. Smithwick, H. Herndon; three of the Alumnae Class of 1915, Mrs. M. F. Briscoe, Baltimore; Miss C. Henry, Raleigh; Miss M. Culbreth, Raleigh, and the graduates: Miss Anne E. Harrell, of Portsmouth, Va.; Miss Alice M. Hall of Brooklyn, N. J. and Miss Mary E. Griffin, of Hamlet, N. C. Members of the class: Miss L. C. Williams, president; Miss R. Wilson, secretary; Miss N. B. Stephen, treasurer; Miss L. C. Booker, chairman; Miss A. B. Rush, Mrs. L. W. Miller. The Wilson administration went into Mexico to punish Villa for his outrage on American soil. The only punishment inflicted has been on American soldiers, who were shot down at Carrizal by order of First Chief Carranza. "Franklin Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, sees a strong trend for Wilson in Maine."—News Dispatch. Who can blame a man who for three years has been assistant to Josephus Daniels for "seeing things?" Even Woodrow Wilson could not save the infamous Clarke amendment to the Philippines bill. He lost the ablest member of his cabinet, Secretary Garrison, because of his advocacy of the policy of seattle, but even the sacrifice of Garrison could not save it.

PALACE HAS BIG SHOW MONDAY The Palace will have some mighty good shows throughout next week, but, Monday, perhaps will have the best program of the entire week. Saturday of this week is also one of the big days at the Palace. Hostes the "Grip of Evil" which in itself is a mighty fine production and a tremendous drawing card the program for this day will contain other productions of the highest merit, viz: "The Habits of Happiness," featuring Douglas Fairbanks and "The Bath House Blunder," featuring Chas. Murry. Monday's Features. W. S. Hart, better known as "Two Gun Hicks," perhaps the most popular of the male characters at the Palace, is on Monday's program in one of the best Triangle Western features ever screened, entitled "The Apostle of Vengeance." This feature will be supplemented by a Kaysfone Comedy featuring Ford Sterling, one of the greatest comedians of this age, in "His Wild Oats," and Charles Chaplin in "The Count." It has been quite a season since the Palace has afforded such splendid attractions for one single day and the fans are likely to be there in great numbers. Tuesday. "Tuesday's program will contain "The Highest Bid," a five-act Mutual Masterpicture, featuring those eminent "Diamond From the Sky." William Russell and Charlotte Burton. "Elaine" Thursday. There is nothing to compare with "The Exploits of Elaine," that sensational serial feature, with Arnold Daly, Pearl, White and Sheldan Lewis, which is on the Palace Program every Thursday in a return engagement. This story, better known as "The Clutching Hand," is the one that made these stars famous in Norfolk and is just as popular now as when it made its first appearance. There will be other big features on the program that have not as yet been announced. William Farnum Wednesday. William Fox presents at the Palace Wednesday William Farnum in a great five-reel feature entitled "A Man of Sorrow," in which Farnum is supreme. Friday's Feature. "Blue Blood and Red" with George Walse and Doris Pond in the title role for Friday, is one of the most stunning features ever screened and produced by the Fox Film Corporation. It is a detailed narrative of the trials and tribulations of a young man who was cast out by his millionaire father, who, after going west succeeds amidst many obstacles. THE MANHATTAN HAS TOP NOTCH SERIAL FEATURES "Fantamous" in five episodes, put out by the Gaumont Picture Corporation and acknowledged to be the world's greatest criminal pictures and admittedly the best criminal detective stories ever screened, will begin at the Manhattan Theatre Saturday of this week.

In the character of Ali Singh, as portrayed by Edwin Stevens, the eminent dramatic star, Mr. Tracy, outlines the hatred that lies between the yellow and white races. "The second episode of "The Yellow Menace" which appears at the Manhattan Monday, reveals even more striking and exciting scenes in which "The Yellow Menace" waxes in power and finds Ali's white victims more helpless than ever. "The Grip of Exil." "The Grip of Evil." in which Roland Bottomly and Jackie Saunders are featured at the Manhattan every Wednesday is certainly a fascinating feature and makes one really wonder if the world is in the Grip of Evil.

The football plan of organization has been adopted. The workers will be divided into two divisions known as the "Hamptons" and "Howards." The purpose is to increase the Association's membership and to raise $2,000.00 for current expenses. International Secretary Robt. P. Hamlin will come to Norfolk to direct the campaign. State Secretary J. H. McGrew will assist. The address by Rev. Columbus Maxwell on Sunday, October 1st, was a masterpiece, both in regard to the thought matter and the manner of delivery. The subject was "The Negroes' Economic Condition." Rev. W. F. Cummings addressed the meeting last Sunday on the subject of "Life Opportunities," and made an impression which will not soon be forgotten by those who heard him. A great meeting is planned for Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. Contest 9:00 P. M.
