HAMPTON WINS FROM UNION HAMPTON WINS FROM UNION WINS HARD FOUGHT BATTLE HAMPTON TEAM LOOKS LIKE FAVORITE CONTENDERS FOR COLORED COLLEGIATE CHAMPIONSHIP. (By Lawrence A. Lee.) And there is another victory hanging to the seaside "Machine!" On Friday, November 3, the Hampton and Union football squads met on the Hampton Institute gridiron. Game by quarters: Lively Beginning. The game started by Union kicking off to Hampton. The kick was received by J. H. Harvey, the slick quarterback, and brought up the field for thirty yards. Both teams lined up fast and charged like friends. Capt. Dorssey swept around right end for fifteen yards on the second down. Union tightened up, holding Hampton for the fourth down. Dorssey punted from the center of the field over Union's goal line. The ball was then brought out to the twenty-yard line and put into play. Both teams fought desperately, for the ball was at this time in Hampton's territory. Union fumbled twice before the fourth down, but luck was with the "State Capital" boys and one of their men covered the pigskin each time. Hucles "breezed around" Hampton's end, making a good gain, but a piece of the "Blue and White" machinery struck him, causing him to be lame the rest of the game. Despite his fame leg, Hucles attempted to punt, but Charlie Dick, "lightning tackle," was always on the job to block the ball. Brilliant Passing. The second quarter opened with Union over the ball. During the greater part of this quarter the teams played from one end of the gridiron to the other. Hampton's center, "Roll" Dabney, became ferocious and began to go over Union's line, picking off the quarterback before he could pass the ball. The greatest feature of this quarter was the twenty-yard forward pass by Hampton from Harvey to Dorsey, which caused the first touchdown. The University bays then lined up under the goal with grim faces, but Dorsey failed to kick goal so their faces became covered with smiles again. The touchdown by Hampton didn't take any of the courage out of the Union aggregation. The Union team came back and fought harder than they had previously fought. Hampton kicked off to Union. The catch was made by Gregory, who substituted in Hucel's position. The most immediate aim of the game was at hand, for Gregory came through Hampton's line like lightning for sixty yards. Union began to gain through Hampton's line and reached within five yards of their goal after several plays, but on the fourth down there came a fumble, which caused Union to fall back nearly ten yards. The end of the first half was at hand with Hampton ahead. Union's Touchdown. The second half began by Union kicking to Hampton. This third quarter brought great joy to the visitors, for it was in this quarter that they outplayed the seaside "Machine," manned by the team, filled, however, to kick goal. The rest of the quarter was spent in playing up and down the field. Harvey's Dropkick. The fourth quarter opened with the ball in Hampton's pasture. After several line plays, Harvey tried one of his famous passes to Mundy, who substituted for Meadows. Mundy made a sensational catch, gaining fifteen yards. Hampton again ploughed Union's line until they were within three yards of the goal. Union was off side and was penalized, causing Hampton to get another touchdown. Dorsey failed to kick goal. Toward the last of the quarter, Hampton was within thirty yards of their goal, when Harvey drop-kicked one over the bar. The quarter ended giving Hampton's "Great Machine" a victory over the visitors to the tune of 15 to 6. A great deal of credit is due to Capt. Dorsey, "Red" Dabney, Rigney, and Dixon of Hampton; also to Gregory, Capt. Puryear, Thompson, and Watts of Union. Hucles is always to be remembered when a kicking argument arises.

COLORED RACE TO THE FRONT WHITE CORRESPONDENT SEES THEM PROGRESSING RAPIDLY —NOTICES THEIR FINE CONDITION IN WASHINGTON—GIVES GOOD ADVICE FOR WHITES AND BLACKS. (By D. Orrine Magoup. of Boston.) There are many interesting things in Washington that newspaper correspondents never mention. For instance, two blocks on New York Avenue, a broad street and chiefly of residences, have four rows of trees. I have been particularly impressed by what I saw of the colored Washington people. I was thrown much among them, and had various dealing with them during my several days' stay at the Capital. They treated me with courtesy and respect. I met some who were unusually intelligent and many who are succeeding exceedingly well in their chosen lines of work or business. I took great pleasure in this, for I have been a friend of the colored race ever since I was a boy. I want to see them go ahead, prosper, enjoy themselves, and remove from their pathways obstructions and hard conditions which have handicapped them in the past. One man or woman is as good as an anatomy, black or white, if he or she acts that way. If a black man behaves himself and I do not, he is better than me; if a colored woman is good and modest, kind, honest, and my sister (white) is not, then the black lady is the best of the two. The white man because my parents were, and some who read these lines are colored because their fathers and mothers were so. The great Creator made us all; what he looks at is the heart, the intentions, whether good or evil. Let the white people and colored treat each other as men and women, each recognizing the rights and feelings of the other, and never be so blinded to as think or feel that a mean act of a white person to a black, or of a black person to a white, is in any way worse because each belongs to another race whom circumstances or the Almighty has brought near each other. The colored people in America are fast finding their right place in the nation, socially and industrially. Their future depends on their getting into it, staying there and permanently trying to do the best they can. The Journal and Guide, I believe, is doing its part to hasten better and happier conditions for the colored people. It should have a large and growing circulation. I wish the paper the greatest success and widest influence for good possible, and the people who read it the same. There are more poorly and shabbily dressed people on the streets of this city than I have ever seen in any other, but they don't seem to be caring or thinking about their clothes. I went over to The Washington Evening Star office to see the Managing Editor; the elevator man said, "Go right straight around the corner." I did it, but not straight around. What is it that lures people to Washington for a residence, and especially middle-aged people and those retired, or mostly so, from business? Of course, many live here because of good and sure paying. Government jobs that promise to last indefinitely © by Pach Bros. for years to come. My conviction is that the majority of Washington residents are fond of the city and prefer it because no one has a disposition to indulge in personal criticism about anything; because of the broad cosmopolitan spirit which trades nearly all classes of the profession; the wide, hard, smooth, paved streets, whose breadths consist of blue sky and fresh air de the city's heart and all over its essence of smoke in the central areas and most everywhere; broad sidewalks, as wide as twenty-five feet in many blocks; the abundance of shade; the convenient squares or little parks that provide a pleasant, plentiful drinking fountains. Living here because it is the capital, I think, is the least incentive that influences most people to make Washington their temporary or permanent homes. One night I slept in the widest bed here I ever saw since I was born. It was great in every way but one. Alas, the quilt was organized for a short man (as most hotel quilts were). A short man could have slumbered all right on this bed crosswise. There should be a national law to force quilt manufacturers to make quilts long enough for tall men, then they would fit men or women of any length, affording enough of cloth to some over the shoulders, over and under the feet cool and cold nights, and not compel one to catch cold as I, a tall man, did under a short Washington man's guilt. I met a gentleman in the magnificent post office who confided to me that he thought he deserved to have a medal. I inquired why. He said he started three weeks ago at Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and her sister for a western trip. They went to Niagara Falls, the Canadian Rockies, Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Grand Canon, Arizona; Colorado Springs, Denver, Chicago and to Washington. He is astonished that he is not today a raving manic. After all he said to me I concluded it is a wonder the women are not the same way.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, NOVEMBER 11, 1916 M. H. CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS KEEN INTEREST MANIFESTED IN ELECTION RETURNS PORO CLUB HAS ANNUAL MEETING (By Cary B. Lewis.) Chicago, Ill., Nov. 8. — The Chicago Poro Club, composed of 150 agents of the Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., held its annual meeting at the Wabash Avenue Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, 3763 Wabash Avenue, with Mr. and Mrs. Malone, guests, Mrs. Mattie Campbell, president of the club, called the meeting to order. A happy spirit pervaded the meeting. Mr. Malone opened the meeting with a short but brilliant talk on the aim and purpose of the meeting, stating that he was highly pleased to see such a large number interested in the work. He told of how he and his wife worked day and night for the interest of their agents and the good being accomplished. He said there were 8,000 agents working for the Poro concern and that the office received on an average of 400 letters per day, requiring ten stenographers and ten clerks and that a total number of twenty-five young women were employed at the plant. Mr. Malone said with emphasis: We are working to give positions and places to the young women in our race. The agents are making it possible. We had such meetings at Birmingham, Atlanta and Montgomery and they have been a howling success. If things don't go right we want you to help make it go right. We want Poro to stand out as one of the great concerns of the day and it can do that with your help." Cary B. Lewis of the Chicago Defender spoke on "Efficiency," after which the meeting took on the form of a school. For two hours questions pro and con pertaining to the work was discussed by the members of the club. A photographer was called and a picture in front of the $225,000 Y. M. C. A. was taken. There was a few minutes social hour when the members returned to the auditorium where the club listened to an address by Mrs. Malone. Her charming personality, sweet voice and business like manner attracted the attention of the agents, many of whom had never seen the discoverer of PORO, which is the "Rage" of the age for the hair. At her fingers end she had a hundred and one points to tell the agents how to "make their business a success." Mrs. Malone said a bib at all time was to protect agents. She did it plain that the refused to supply agents who would not keep up the prices. There was one agent in the city who did not keep the rule of the Poro office and she has been erased from the Poro list. This in particular has shown the business like methods of the office. Mrs. Malone spoke of how loyal the agents should be to their patrons, displaying at all times courtesy and best of treatment; that it meant a great deal to them and the Poro business. Mrs. Malone became very deliberate when she said: "We must work zealously. Work to help some one else. Tell each other of their faults, but do it in a Christian-like manner, be friendly; you may criticise but never become harsh. Don't stay in the club if you have not its interest at heart. Attend the club meeting. Don't work on; each others customers; go in new fields; spread out, there is plenty room.

"God Be With You Until We Meet Again" closed one of the most interesting meetings Mr. and Mrs. Malone have attended in the interest of their agents. PRICE FIVE CENTS SOCIETY GROWS IN INFLUENCE FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING OF NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY IN SESSION IN ROANOKE WHITE AND COLORED CO-OPERATION IN SOCIAL UPLIFT WORK. (By W. A. Reid.) Roanoke, Va., Nov. 8.—The Negro Organization Society, holding its Fourth Annual Meeting at the First Baptist Church, has been accorded a most enthusiastic reception by the people, both white and colored of this city. A large Committee on Arrangements has been working zealously for several weeks, assisted by Prof. T. C. Erwin, Field Agent, and had every detail well worked out by the time the gavel fell at the opening session Wednesday. The white people of the city have given practical indications of their interest in this meeting and in the work the society is doing. The City Council appropriated a goodly sum to assist in entertaining the delegation and twenty-five of the foremost people of the city donated the use of their automobiles together with their chauffeurs for a two hours' drive of the representatives of the society about Roanoke and Salem. Strong delegations have come in from all directions, traveling in special cars, and are being comfortably entertained in our best colored homes. Deep interest is being taken in the meetings. The discussions have been able and very instructive and it is anticipated that much good will result from the holding of this meeting in this community. The Society itself has enjoyed substantial growth in strength and in influence each year. Its efforts now reach out into the many phases of general uplift work and the sum total of the good it is doing cannot be estimated. The report of the Field Agent will indicate that the membership of the Society now numbers 414 organizations and 665 individuals. The Old Folk's Day service at the First Baptist Church, Rev. E. E. Hicks, minister, was very much upheld folks who were absent in large numbers (655 total) church and reordered to their home in carriages and automobiles donated for their use by the members of the church. Rockers, Morris chairs, and other comfortable seats were placed in the space in front of the pulpit and the church was decorated in Autumn leaves, typical of the beauty of old age; in the center of the organ over the pulpit was a branch containing a bird's nest which symbolized the fact that the HOME is the center and the place from whence we get the church members and the citizens. The minister took advantage of the decorations to emphasize the fact that the home life of our fore-parents was, perhaps more religious than most of our homes of today. There were among the aged ones in attendance some who had not been to the church for ten years or more; ranging in years from 60 to more than 85. The Old Saints sang some of the old time hymns, told of their past experience and of their determination to make Heaven their home when done with the world. Communion was served at the close of the service. Rev. W. J. Howard, D. D., of Washington, D. C.; Prof. Chas Stewart, of Chicago, Ill., and Lawyer J. Thomas Newsome, of Newport News, Va., delegates to the Negro Organization Society were guests in the home of Rev. and Mrs. Ricks. At the October meeting of the Burrell Memorial Hospital Association the following officers and trustees were elected for the ensuing year: Dr. J. H. Roberts, president; Miss Lucy Addison, vice president; Dr. R. R. Dudley, secretary; Dr. J. B. Claytor, treasurer; Dr. L. C. Downing, manager; Dr. S. F. William, assistant manager; Trustees: Dr. J. H.

Mr. Byrd Wade one of Roanoke's well known men has been transferred from the Baldwin Felts Agency to the city police force as special officer. Mr. C. H. Howard, 202 9th Ave., N. E., is confined to his home on account of illness. Miss Julia A. Jefferson returns from a trip to Covington and White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. She was the guest of Miss Essie Williams. Howard Defeated Lincoln. One of the surprises of the season in football circles was the ease with which the Howard eleven triumphed over Lincoln University Saturday, November 4th, on the Howard gridiron. The score, 26-0, indicates the easy fashion in which the Howard boys vanquished their old rivals. In the last quarter of the game Howard played mostly substitutes, but there was no chance for Lincoln to score. The Pennsylvanians seem to have an abundance of good material, but the old time snap and aggressiveness combined with confidence and skill were absent.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Farm and Garden SET BUSH FRUIT IN FALL. Berries Found to Thrive Best in Land Having a Deep Soil. Bush fruit plants root deeply, and for this reason they thrive best in land having a deep soil, says M. N. Edgerton in the Orange Judd Farmer. Blackberries appear to do best on rather high land with considerable sand. Raspberries prefer land of lower level, especially the red raspberry, which grows at its greater perfection, wild, along a watercourse dug through low, swampy ground, particularly if partly shaded. Bush fruits may be set either in the fall or spring, but better results are to be had with fall setting when properly done. Mulching round the plants is needed both to prevent heaving and undue freezing. Fall setting 100 HIGH LAND BLACKBERRIES. is superior to spring setting for two reasons. Dug and set in the fall, the roots callous, which induces a compact fibrous root growth. Being already in position in their new home, the plants get an earlier start under more favorable conditions, as the soil is thoroughly compacked about their roots. If conditions make it preferable the plants may be dug in the fall and heeded in over winter in some place safe from frost. For this purpose sand is best. When handled in this way the roots callous and make a fibrous root system, but of course they won't get as early a start as when set in the fall. When handling the plants the roots should be kept constantly moist while out of the ground and protected from wind and sun. The plants should be set rather deeply, say four inches below the surface. The soil about the plants should be thoroughly formed. With the spring set plants cultivation should begin at once. With the fall set plants cultivation should begin as early in the spring as soil conditions permit. Two inches is about the right depth of mulch to maintain. To maintain the perfect soil mulch requires soil about once a week, and after each rain. The depth of cultivation should be constant throughout the season and should not vary much with successive seasons. Otherwise more or less root growth will be destroyed as the depth of stirred soil varies. Cultivation should cease at the close of the active growing period. If at the last cultivation two or three bushels of oats per acre are sown broadcast and worked into the ground a fine serviceable cover crop may be obtained at little cost. The service of the cover crop is to protect the land from washing and prevent the escape of soil nitrates, also to contribute to soil humus and aid in the ripening of cune growth. Some growers practice pinching back the canes when about eighteen inches high. This induces a branching, compact head. There is one objection to this in sections of heavy snowfall, for the reason that the weight of the snow may cause much damage in broken and split canes. When left to grow in the natural way it is almost necessary to provide some means of support. This can be done by tying to separate stakes or to wires. Count up what your poultry feed is costing you. If it is much over a cent and a half a pound there is something wrong. You will need a very good market or wonderfully productive hen to make any money on a ration that costs 2 cents a pound or over. After your Leghorn cockerel reach two pounds get rid of them as soon as possible. Because the old nens do not lay eggs in winter doesn't prove that they are not profitable in a year's time, especially if you breed them, as you should. Poultrymen are going to have some mighty narrow escapes from disaster if they do not give more attention to keeping up the vitality of their flocks. There ought to be a law against selling eggs for hatching from hens that have been heavy winter layings.

C Wilson Jefferson In Entertaining Article Predicts Better Times For the Colored Workmen In the Absence of Foreign Laborers—Abundant Supply of Labor South Cause of Low Wages In discussing the effect of the European war on the Negro in a recent issue of the New York Evening Post Wilson Jefferson in part says: The present war has brought the blacks of the British and French colonies to the front. Up against the varying fortunes of war and on foreign soil, they have proved both apt and tractable. These countries are not inaware of their strength and hardihood and of the uses to which this strength could be put in the great work of rebuilding their destroyed cities, industries and railroads. France particularly will need them sorely and, judging her by the past treatment of her black citizens, will not hesitate to use them freely. However, our more immediate concern is with the American Negro, and it is chiefly of the effects of the war upon him that this article wishes to treat. Heretofore the workers in our mines, on our railroads and in the shops and factories have been recruited almost wholly from Europe. This army of people which swarms to our shores at the rate of over 1,000,000 a year has now practically ceased to come at all. For the present they cannot come on account of conditions over which they have no control. In the future, on account of their depleted populations, the countries now 't war will no doubt frame laws to keep at home the able bodied survivors of the conflict. If the war lasts another two years, or even if it cuds sooner, this country will be almost entirely dependent upon the Negro of the south for its supply of unskilled labor. This supply of labor is plentiful. Like the market of Europe, the black man of the south wants to better the conditions under which he works. He is not satisfied with his wages, with his status in society or with the homes and neighborhoods he must live in. He is eager to avail himself of opportunities to labor under better conditions. The picked Negro laborer makes the best unskilled worker in the world. The south will acknowledge this. But the south has not profited by this labor to the extent that it is willing to pay for it a decent, living wage. Negro wages in the south are a standing disgrace. The Negro has been at the mercy of the employer class of the south. And this wage scale for Negroes has, next to liquor, been a prolific cause of crime. You cannot blame a man much for not wanting to work for $3 or $4 a week in the hot sun of the fields or in the malarial brickyards or at theumber camps. Petty thieving,where there is a chance, grows out of petty wages. It has not been on account of its poverty that the south has paid the black man so poorly. The wage has been low because the supply of labor has been plentiful. Only in recent months have there been signs that this supply might be drawn upon by the east and middle west to the detriment of southern industries. In the south the poorer whites will be forced to do some of the harder tasks of the shop and field and will be forced to do what they have never hitherto done—fit themselves for housework and other work calling for more or less personal service. And it will all work to the Negro's gain. The employer will not be able to get along without the help of both, and the white worker will not be willing to work for the Negro wage. Some of the trades in the south offer an example of white and Negro co-operation. In them Negro and white unions affiliate for their mutual protection. As a consequence, in the building trades, for example, the wage compares favorably with the scale in other parts of the country. Among unskilled workers there will be unions and affiliations of a similar nature and a much higher wage scale will prevail as a result. Nothing has hampered the Negro more as a race than the inability of its great body of workers to make a decent living. From the beginning he has been dependent upon a cold and indifferent white south, which has always been willing to feed him and to praise him (as servants), but never willing to pay him very much in the way of wages. The Negro is rapidly learning that $40 a month and regular habits are infinitely better than $15 or $20 a month and irregular habits. There will not be much difficulty attending the effort of the Negro to adjust himself to the discipline of the shops and factories and business places of the north and west. Only those of us who live very near to their struggles know just how indifferent has been the average southern employer to the needs of his workmen. The laws give these men absolutely no protection. The bulk of them are as capable and live as clean lives as do a corresponding class among any people. They are as ambitious. Given a fair chance they will, no doubt, prove more efficient as all around workers than any class of foreigners. GREENSBORO, N. C. (By W. E. Butler.) Greensboro, N.

Saturday, November 11, 1916 THE ELECTION. As we go to press with this issue of The Journal and Guide the Presidential election, which was the closest contest since Cleveland's election in 1892, and which, it seems, will have almost the same termination is still in doubt. The last returns that we have up to this time, as tabulated by the Associated Press, are Hughes, 247; Wilson, 236. These returns are encouraging to Mr. Hughes' staunch supporters. Both chairmen, Mr. McCormick of the Democratic National Committee and Mr. Willcox of the Republican National Committee, are emphatic in their declarations that their candidate has won. It will be gratifying to all colored voters and every member of the race to note that the trend seems to indicate the election of Mr. Hughes. The complete result will probably be known when this paper reaches its subscribers. Mr. Wilson had a decided advantage in the race because of the fact that he had the solid South, 149 electoral votes to begin with and all of the pulling power of Federal patronage. He was probably supported by the majority of railroad employees which were sent into so doing by the recent enactment of his eight-hour law by Congress. On account of this same set he was supported by the heads of the labor unions. Some voted for Mr. Wilson because his party leaders sought to blind them with the subterfuge that he had kept the country out of war, others supported him because it is alleged that the country is more prosperous under his administration and still others supported him because he is a Democrat and represents the principles for which the Democratic party stands, among which is the suppression of the Negro. The sane element of the country supported Mr. Hughes, because they believed him more capable of guiding the nation in these critical and abnormal times than Mr. Wilson, because they were dissatisfied with the subservient policies of the Wilson administration, especially its foreign policy, because they believe the present prosperity of the country under the Wilson administration is the result of the European war, that after the war, under his reign, there would be a breadline in the country from Maine to California, and because the Republican party stands for justice and equal opportunity for all men. We believe the Negro voters of the country, almost to a man, voted for Mr. Hughes. They voted for him especially because the Democratic party has been more unfair to them than the Republican party. Because under the Wilson administration every Negro holding responsible government positions has been displaced and no other Negroes appointed; because under the Wilson administration there have been more lynchings for trivial offenses, more segregation and Jim crow laws enacted than at any other time, and because they felt that in voting for Mr. Hughes they were registering a protest against these vicious humiliations and discriminations. They further voted against Mr. Wilson because by fair promises which he has failed to fulfill they were enticed to vote for him in 1912, and because they believe if Mr. Hughes is elected it will mean an open door of hope and a better opportunity for the race's development along all lines. tion is that five of the seven states that voted for prohibition were successfully carried in its favor. It shows that the trend of sentiment in the country is in favor of the elimination of the rum traffic that is damning so many lives in the republic and that the days of the liquor evil are numbered. The present tabulation of the vote shows that the Republicans will control Congress and that there will be a Democratic majority in the Senate. Practically every governor elected in the North and West was a Republican. It is evident that before the election is really decided in favor of Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes there will be some contests, official counting and recounting in some of the pivotal The November number of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) illustrates the wide scope of that magazine. It contains a character sketch of the head of the agricultural department at Tuskegee; an illustrated account of a trip among Oklahoma Indians who have been educated in the East; a very interesting description of Turkish customs and festivals, also illustrated; a scientific paper on certain health conditions among Negroes, by a Southern student of sociology; requirements for efficiency in a country school by a Southern educator; and a statement of the new Maryland education law. A review of the report of the General Education Board on "Public Education in Maryland," adds value to the article outlining the new law. Another valuable review discusses Dr. Eastman's new book—"From the Deep Woods to Civilization." There is an exhaustive editorial report of the recent Mohonk Conference and another showing the significance of the Negro rural exhibit at the State Fair held in Richmond in October. Other editorials treat of the important conference in August of the Southern University Race Commission, of the meeting of the Society of American Indians, and of the coming annual rally in Roanoke, Va., of the Negro Organization Society. PUBLIC OPINION The efficient country school must be housed in a properly constructed school building with good light and ventilation, school furniture and equipment, and sanitary closets. The grounds should be ample and properly laid off for all kinds of recreation. There should be gardens in connection with the school to be worked by the pupils, and the school should encourage the pupils to work small gardens and provide them. The efficient country school must interest its pupils and their parents in the boys' corn clubs and the girls' canning and poultry clubs. It must give credit for home work. The redirected course of study needed for the efficient country school must be determined by the needs of the social and economic life of the community as determined by a social and economic survey of the community. You cannot "hitch up education to life" without knowing what that life is—the prevailing aspirations of the community, "its economic and social resources and possibilities, its deficiencies and needs." It is not to be understood that it is proposed to discard the fundamental studies; it is proposed to relate these studies more closely to agricultural life. It is proposed to put new leaven into old essentials, discard some subjects of the old traditional curriculum which fail to express the activities and needs of the community, and add new subjects needed for agricultural progress, such as nature study, agriculture, manual training, domestic science and art, farm management, marketing and rural sanitation—President Johnson of Winthrop College in the Southern Workman. Progress and the Negro. It takes years for great movements to produce visible results. In the South a gregarious, pleasure-loving, improvident race has seemed to be but slightly affected by the economic and industrial changes of the time. The Negro has been the unskilled laborer, the poor tenant farmer, raising his bale or two of cotton and turning it over to the local buyer in liquidation of his debt for the year's living expenses. The teachings of institutions like Tuskegee, Calhoun and Hampton are producing a class trained in trades, efficiency and initiative, whose influence is a leaven slowly uplift and awakening in the Negro a sense of his economic value. The labor shortage has been an advantage to him. Seven thousand Negroes applied to the Federal Department of Labor last year in regard to opportunities for employment; testimony to the spread of industrial education. Editor P. B. Young of the Journal and Guide went to Roanoke Wednesday to attend the fourth annual session of the Negro Organization Society. He will return tomorrow.

To treat your failing eyes right you should seek the services of a thoroughly competent eyesight specialist and expect to pay him reasonably for his work. Cheap propositions usually turn out to be disappointing. In most cases things are not what they seem, and glasses, prices or conditions are such that the patient is never satisfied with his so-called bargain. If you get lenses that enable you to see perfectly you will never hesitate about paying the price—if—it is within reason. If Dr. Masrow, Norfolk's well-known eyesight specialist, fits you with glasses, you will find the rolief so much desired. His daily mail brings him letters from people living in all parts of the city and state, and sections of North Carolina—letters filled with expressions of gratitude, delight and satisfaction for the manner in which the Doctor fitted the writers with glasses. Dr. Masrow is located in the Dickson Building, No. 405 and 405½. Phone for appointment, Norfolk 2-1-9—adv.

They help a lot in the battle of life. Frequently, however, men who possess both youth and energy suddenly discover that they need a little capital. A business opportunity finds them without any cash. Young man, don't be caught this way. The successful business men of the country freely declare that they owe their success mainly to the fact that they opened a bank account early in life. Then when the chance for an investment came along they were ready for it. Youth and energy make a fine combination. But youth, energy and capital are invincible. YOUNG MAN, BE INVINCIBLE.

Text of the Lesson, Rom. xiv, 13, to xv, 3—Memory Verse, xiv, 16, 17—Golden Text, Rom. xiv, 21—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is called a temperance lesson and is no doubt intended to be used as an exhortation and a warning against the use of intoxicants, a most important topic, and a line of service on which we cannot do too much, but when I consider the intemperate people who are so often prominent in what is called temperance work I feel increasingly the need of getting at the root of the matter rather than prescribing for symptoms. The words "temperance" and "duty" are seldom used in the Scriptures, not over six or seven The Negro Agricultural ard Technical College of North Carolina The Negro Agricultural ard Technical College of North Carolina Maintained and Controlled by The Governments of North Carolina and of the United States For MALES ONLY.

Dudley, President, Greensboro, North Carolina times in each in the whole Bible, and the meaning of temperance is self control in every form (Acts xxiv, 25; I Cor. lx, 25; Gal. v. 23; II Pet. l. 6). As in Paul's talk with Felix and verse 17 of our lesson, righteousness comes first. In I Cor. vt. 9, 10, where the drunkard is mentioned among other gross sinners, the opening sentence is "The unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God." The great topic of this epistle is righteousness, the word being used at least thirty-five times and fifteen of these in chapters iv and x. As in 1.1.17, it is the righteousness of God, that which God requires, and has provided fully and freely in Christ, but which men object to, preferring their own filthy rags of self righteousness, character, reformation, duty and the like (lsa. xiv. 6; Rom. x. 3). There is no possible way for any one, drunken or sober, moral or immoral, but to plead guilty, according to chap. iii, 19, and be justified freely by grace (ill. 24); then will come the peace and joy of being justified by faith (xiv. 17; xv. 13), and the patience and comfort of the Scriptures (xv. 4-6). It is no use to appeal to any kind of a sinner to do right, for until born again by receiving Christ all are said to be "in the flesh," merely "natural" people, and cannot please God (John l. 12, 13; Rom. vill. 7, 8). When Christ is received as a personal Saviour and our righteousness, then we are said to be "in the Spirit," and by the Spirit we may be led, controlled, live and make no provision for the flesh or its lusts (Rom. xill, 14; Gal. v, 16-25). Salvation, of which the first eight chapters of this letter tell us so fully, is the free gift of God for all who will receive it, or rather Him (Rom. vl, 20: Rev. xxl, 6; xxll, 17), and there are no differences nor degrees, for all who are in Christ have all the benefits of His finished, work and are equally saved and delivered from the wrath to come (I Thess. 4, 10). Now, as saved people, we are supposed to have done with self and walk in His steps who never pleased Himself, but always pleased the Father and lived and died to save others (Rom. xiv, 7: xv, 3; Pet. ll. 21-23; John vill, 29; Gal. ll. 20). If we thus had the good of others at heart instead of our own selfish ends we would not talk of eating or drinking what we pleased regardless of others' infirmities. We are here to win others to Christ and then to help build them up in Him, raised and grounded in love and filled with all the fullness of God for service here and an abundant entrance into His kingdom by and by (xlv. 19; Eph. 11, 16-20; II Pet. 1, 5-11). Although all believers are accepted in the beloved, washed, sanctified and justified and made meet to be partakers of His Inheritance (Eph. 1, 6, 7; I Cor. vl. 11; Col. 1, 12). we are left here for service and good works, for which every one of us shall give account of himself to God at the judgment sent of Christ, where only saved people shall be, and there our service shall be approved and rewarded, or else burned up and we suffer loss (xlv. 7-12; I Cor. 11, 11-15). The service which will be rewarded will be that which He has wrought in us by His Spirit, according to Phil. 11, 13; Heb. xl1, 21. We cannot expect that anything we do of ourselves that is not His working in us will have His approval. When I was off duty for eleven weeks a little over three years ago because of heart failure, which many thought would take me home, nothing gave more comfort in my weakness as I lay in bed then Rom. xiv, 8: "Whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." It is possible so to abandon ourselves to Him for life or death, for service or suffering, that His perfect will shall be everything to us, and our heart song shall be. "Not I, but Christ: 'Not I. but the grace of God' (Gal. ii, 20; I Cor. xv, 10). This will keep us so occupied with Himself that we shall not see others except to help them and will make us so sensitive to what He likes or dislikes that we shall not wish to allow that which He would condemn. Forevermore, beside us on our way. That we may lean upon His arm and say Dost Thou, dear Lord, approve? The kingdom to which we are hastening and which cannot come till He comes, if it fills our soul's vision, will lift us above all such matters as eating and drinking, and is there any harm in this or that, and our acceptable service of Christ will he manifestly righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost (xiv, 17, 19). Williams Temple C. M. E. Church. News Ferry, Va.-Dr. L. E. B.

JONES & SONS Funeral Directors & Embalmers Carriages For Hire Residence: 714, Cumberland Street Office: 715, Cumberland Street TELEPHONE 1242 SUFFOLK NEWS ADVERTISEMENTS J. F. Jordan, Correspondent Suffolk, Va.—Mrs. Mary J. Jordan, wife of Rev. J. F. Jordan, principal of the Suffolk Training School, died early Thursday morning, November 2nd, after a brief illness. Her death was a distinct shock and a great loss to the community. Mrs. Jordan has labored for the past thirteen years with her husband in educational and social uplift work in Suffolk, and her place in this field of activity will be hard to fill. She was a woman of lovely character and Christian virtues, and was greatly beloved by all who knew her. The funeral occurred Sunday afternoon from Pine Street Baptist Church and was attended by a large concourse of people, many being turned away for lack of seating capacity. Over the remains brief but touching addresses were made by Revs. Council, Bridgeford, Copeland, Watson and Boone. All paid splendid tribute to the beautiful Christian life of the deceased. The choir of Pine 'Street Baptist Church sang several beautiful selections during the services, and the following elucidation of Mrs. Jordan's life was read by Prof. Wilson: Mary J. Jordan, daughter of the late Simon, and Anne Bizzell Davis, was born April 12th, 1865, at Clinton, Sampson County, N. C. At an early age, she was converted, and joined the church of her choice, at her home. During her girlhood, she attended the Public Schools of her home town. Here, she acquired a fair training, but her intense ambition made her persistent in seeking an education in some higher institution. And, accordingly, she entered Shaw University in 1884, where she completed her education for missionary work. Returning to her home, she became engaged in the profession of teaching. In 1892, July 26th, she was happily married to the Rev. J. F. Jordan, then began her life of a most useful and honorable career, surpassed by no one. Her loyalty and devotion to her husband, her home, and her profession, was as ardent as it was zealous. Going with her husband to Louisburg, N. C., she entered with him in the work of teaching. There she became endeared to all who knew her. Her companionship was the delight of her husband, and she in turn sought his every interest. She evinced a womanhood of sterling worth. It was here that her life of motherhood began. Then began those drawbacks, which usually arise, between the conflicts of home and professional duties. But with that tact and discretion which marked her wise judgment, she succeeded in blending those duties with success to both. In her home she was gentle, kind and faithful. Yet, with all, firm and unyielding in the right. In the-school she was patient, instructive and energetic. And neither her home nor school work was allowed to encroach upon the other. Her success in her work and her sweet and honorable life were due to her love for the truth and her true religious spirit. She trusted implicitly the promise of her Lord—Lo! I am with you always." When doubt and gloom seemed to threaten the courage of her dear husband, she would direct him to the words, "Be of good Cheer." When reverses discouraged his efforts, with a cheery smile, she would whisper—"Trust in God." About thirteen years ago she came to Suffolk with her husband, to build up the almost extinct work of the Universalist Church. There were discouragements on every hand. But such a man, with such a consecrated and devoted wife, could not fail. Zealously with him she entered with her usual spirit and tact upon the work of building up a substantial and worthy institution, which must eventually be the pride of her church, and an honor to her race. Gradually she won the love and confidence of those who met her. She was interested in the training of those whom she taught. Her own life of honor and religious virtue left its impress upon her pupils' minds, and feet in the community. Men, women and children loved and respected her, for her life was clean and helpful. And then when the day's toil was over she found a quiet and sweet rest with her dear family. She loved her home, and her one pride was, to make her dear ones happy and comfortable. As a mother and wife she was a perfect example of right living. Her heart was theirs; and under her sympathies she hovered them. She was kind and gentle, but firm in her discipline. Her whole life was one round of love and labor for others. On Thursday morning, the 26th, she had come down to perform her usual domestic duties. She seemed to be in good health. But being taken with a chill, she returned to her room. This was the beginning of that illness from which she never recovered. Each day for a week she suffered the intensest pains. But she never complained. As the end drew near she began to realize it, and the thought of going home cheered her soul, and she sang—"Palms of victory, Palms of Glory, I shall wear." Last Thursday night before her death she called her husband and children, and pronounced upon each sepa- BELL'S MILL. VA. Mrs. R. H. Davis was the guest of Mrs. Annie Myers last week. Mrs. A. G.

THE FAMILY. IN MEMORY OF WIFE AND MOTHER Mrs. Mary J. Jordan Slowly rose the morning zephyr Over kill and over dale, As with heavy hearts we lingered By he bed of Mary J. J. She was dying, our dear Mary. She was passing, like a sigh From this world of love and beauty To a brighter home on high. Softly thru the shaded window. Came the morning's gentle breath; But she heeded not its mildness. For she slept the sleep of death. Fondly with her raven tresses, Twined we locks of sweetest curls; Then, beside you little streamlet, Laid we our Mary from this world. But beyond the silver moonbeams, Ay, beyond the stars of night, Dwells the spirit of our Mary, In the home of Angels bright. Kindly Mentioned. Because of the great affection of the reporter in the death of his wife last week, his many friends would not send in their news items for this week. He thanks them.

The eye of the spoon handle is cut out with a file, leaving two groups, as shown, and the inside edges are then sharpened and the small end of the handle is set in the end of a broomstick, Fig 1. With this tool one may easily and quickly cut off small weeds as inch or so below the ground without disturbing the sod. If one prefers to pull the weeds simply fix a small block of wood to the under side of the tool near the prongs to form a fulcrum, Fig. 2.

Electric Lighted Drawing Room Sleeping Cars operated on trains Nos. 18 and 14 between Norfolk and Ranooke. Winter Forced Rhubarb. By freezing the roots of rhubarb and then exposing them to a mild temperature you can have rhubarb pie and sauce during the winter, says the Kansas Farmer. The method is simple. Dig the roots carefully just before the ground freezes. Handle the plants in a way to prevent injury. Then place them in a box outdoors, where they may be left until frozen solid. Don't put them on the ground or they may freeze fast to it. After the roots are well frozen take them into a warm cellar where the temperature averages 50 degrees F. or more. Set in a bin or box as close together as possible and cover with about four inches of soil. Rhubarb should be grown in as dark a corner of the cellar as possible. In about three weeks the shoots will appear. As a rule, the roots will be plentifully for a period of from eight to ten weeks. Half a dozen vigorous roots will provide enough rhubarb for an average sized family. Fertilizing Apple Orchards Fertilizing apple orchards with ten pounds each of nitrate of soda and acid phosphate and five pounds of muriate of potash per tree will pay about $20 an acre more than using half this quantity with a mulch of one bale of straw, according to F. H. Bailon of the Ohio experiment station. He bases his conclusions on his recent experiments in southern Ohio orchards. In these (ests the heavier application returned $106 an acre annually in fruit, or $13 more than was secured from less fertilizer with straw mulch. The larger amounts of fertilizer produced grass in the orchard worth $7 more than that secured from less fertilizer and straw. Do You Have Sour Stomach.
