SOCIAL UPLIFT WORKERS IN MOST SUCCESSFUL MEETING WHY NOT HELP BOOST THE COLORED BUSINESS LEAGUE. WHITE AND COLORED SPEAKERS AND WORKERS CO-OPERATE IN STATEWIDE MOVEMENT FOR BETTER HEALTH, BETTER HOMES, BETTER SCHOOLS AND BETTER FARMS. (Special to Journal and Guide). Roanoke, Vn., Nov. 11.—One of the most unique agencies at work for racial uplift and development in this country is the Negro Organization Society, which closed its fourth annual session in this city last night with a mammoth mass meeting in the Academy of Music with 2,000 people of both races present. Two important addresses were delivered, one by Dr. Robert I. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and the other by Dr. J. P. McConnell, president of the State Normal School, Rudford, Vn. The convention opened Wednesday night in the First Baptist Church, of which the Rev. Dr. E. E. Ricks is pastor. It seemed that all Honouce poured out to welcome the distinguished educators, for they were educators and practical at that. The object of the organization is to do the people along the lines of "Better Homes, Better Farms, Better Schools and Better Health." To this end during the year campaigns are conducted, and there are two men kept constantly on the field doing this particular work. Lawyer A. J. Oliver acted as master of ceremonies. Music was furnished by the choir of the First Baptist Church. The Rev. J. H. Burks, D. D., of the High Street Baptist Church, conducted the opening, reading the scripture lesson and making the prayer. Attorney Oliver delivered a masterly address at the opening, and concluded by introducing the Mayor, Hon. C. M. Brour, who gave to the distinguished men and women the keys of the city, assuring them that it was a pleasure to have them hold the session in townake. His interest in the race and his development was based on his "Black Mammy," who had nursed him in infancy into boyhood and then through his school days. He declared that if others left the race, he would never follow them, but continue to do all in his power to encourage and help them in their efforts to rise. Secretary John Wood of the Chamber of Commerce, was the next speaker, and he also had a "Black Mammy" and he always considered her with the rest of the family when he visited his old home. He declared that if he had the directing of the education for the Negro youth, he would lay down the same for them that he would lay down for the white youth—nothing more nor nothing less. He believed in the development of the human family. In the name of the colored citizens Prof. W. A. Gilliam extended welcome. Like the other speakers, he had a "Black Mammy," but it was real, he was tied to her by blood and flesh, he loved her as his own life. Prof. Gilliam with open arms received the delegates into the homes and hearts of the colored people, making them truly welcome and in old Virginia style. Following this the gavel was turned over to President Robert R. Moton, who after a few remarks introduced R. E. Clay of Bristol, to respond. Mr. Clay was at himself and delivered an eloquent address, as did the Rev. A. A. Graham, of Phoebus, who also responded. The welcome addresses having been delivered then came introduction of Dr. W. D. Weatherford, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., working among the Southern white colleges. The address was fair and conservative particular, full of encouragement to the race. He expressed himself as being in favor of h man rights, so was strong in the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Thursday morning the convention opened at 10 o'clock with impressive song and prayer services by Revs. W. J. Howard, of Washington, D. C., and I. O. Lowis, of Lynchburg. Reports From Delegates. This was a kind of a class meeting. It was opened by the Rev. W. J. Howard, representing the North Virginia Sunday School Convention. He declared that he was with the society in its object teeth and toe-nails—in fact, he was with anything which meant racial development. Editor P. B. Young, representing the State Negro Business League, was the next speaker. He said that the members of the race in Virginia were doing more constructive work and less fault-finding. Not sitting around complaining, but going out doing things. The reports made at the last session of the League showed wonderful progress and there would be greater things reported at the next session. Among the other speakers were Rev. W. W. Ward, representing the Pulsaski district conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Rev. M. E. Davis, representing the annual conference of the A. M. E. Church; Thomas J. Edwards, superintendent of the Reformatory, Hanover; Nelson Williams, of the State Sunday School Convention; S. P. Raggsale, of Halifax County; The Journal and Guide W. T. Johnson, First Baptist Church, Richmond, and the Shiloh Baptist Association; Rev. C. H. Johnson, Baptist Church, Bristol; Prof. J. H. McGrew, state secretary of the Y.M.C.A., and many others spoke, before turning to the program. The first was a symposium "Beauty in Home Building." (a) "How to Beautify the Interior," Miss Eugenia Taylor, of Roanoke; (b) "Better Times Ahead—Co-operative Home Development," by Miss Lizzie A. Jenkins, of Hampton; (c) Place of Amusement in the Life of the Young People," by Prof. C. H. Williams, of Hampton Institute. Put A Ban Upon Dancing. Prof. Williams stirred p the ministers as nothing else stirred them, for in a way he endorsed dancing, and it was that which brought up the ministers. He believed that dancing and all other amusements for the young people should be under the supervision of the church. It was just like stirring up a hornet's nest. This was discussed fully one hour, and it was not until Dr. Moton announced that the time had arrived for closing (that it was stopped and even after that several ministers got in a word. Charles Stewart, A. M., D. D., of Chicago, Ill., was introduced and made a short address. He was given an ovation by the society. Valuable Talks On Health. The meeting Thursday night was held in St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. S. M. Beane conducted the opening, and the chair of St. Paul Church furnished the music. The first thing was a Stereopticon lecture by Prof. T. C. Erwin, showing the progress made in the rural schools the result of the clean-up campaign, presenting some beautiful homes owned by members of the race in the various counties. He showed up the country home life. Miss Agnes D. Randolph, executive secretary of the Tuberculosis Association of Virginia, delivered the first address on Health, but the principal address was delivered by Dr. James D. Paulkner, of Atlanta, Ga., secretary of Ranou Foundation crusade against Tuberculosis in Georgia. His address was practical and full of good information to the Nogroes. Dr. Jones of Richmond made a short talk also Election Of Officers. Friday was the busy day, and they were many addresses delivered prior to the meeting Friday night. The officiers elected were: Major Allen W. Washington, Hampton, president; P. J. Mandy, Petersburg, executive secretary; W. T. B. Williams, Hampton, treasurer; E. A. Long, Cambria, recording secretary; G. W. Blount, Portsmouth, corresponding secretary; Prof. T. C. Erwin, Petersburg, and Attorney T. C. Walker, Gloucester, field agents; Rev. L. L. Downing, Roanoke; Mrs. Ora D. Stokes, of Richmond; Maggie L. Walker, Richmond; W. E. Robinson, Mrs. Ida N. Pacey, R. C. Yancy, A. T. Shirley, W. H. Salley, M. E. Davis, J. M. Jeffrees, vice-presidents. Friday night, long before the hour for opening the Academy of Music, which holds over 2,500 people, was crowded. It was the closing address which the people of both races desired to hear—an address from the successor to Dr. Booker T. Washington. They were there and in large numbers, and Dr. Robert R. Moton just worked his way into the hearts of that large crowd. Prof J. M. Gandy, presided, and in the introduction the newly elected president, and announced that Dr. R. R. Moton was made the honorary president. The address dealt with many phases of the race, emphasising the motto and object of the organization. An appeal was made to the young men to take proper rest, proper exercises, declaring that it was utterly impossible for them to stay up all night and work all day. Too many young people were dying, and he urged them to quit dying by using the preventatives. Throughout the address was punctuated with applauses. The Social Feature. A thing unknown in the history of Roanoke, the wealthy white people extended the use of their automobiles for a sight-seeing ride through the city and suburbs by the delegates. There were 25 machines placed in front of the church and the tour lasted two hours and a half. Forty of the delegates were served dinner at the country home of one of the wealthiest farmers in Virginia, J. D. Oliver. All were fed and still there was plenty left. Mrs. Harris Barrett, at the head of the home for delinquent girls near Hanover, delivered a special talk to the women Friday afternoon. The selection of the next place of meeting was left with the executive committee. WHAT THE NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY IS DOING FOR THE RACE IN VIRGINIA. Professor Templo C. Erwin, Field Agent of the Negro Organization Society, said in his report: "More and more the necessity for NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. NOVEMBER 18, 1916 R determined action against the forces of destruction and the wisdom of concerted effort grow upon the Negroes of Virginia. During the year just closed we have seen them rallying with increased vigor to the cause of uplift and battling in ways to them more or less new to improve school conditions, to withstand the inroads of communicable disease, and to remedy untoward conditions surrounding life on the farm. The influence of this movement is being felt throughout the state where colored people live in any considerable numbers and organizations of almost every conceivable kind are to be counted among the numbers of those that make up this society. "In a number of the communities into which we have gone it has been necessary to initiate the idea of school improvement through co-operation and to point out the essential nature of such work to substantial growth. In such places school development is in the primitive stage. In many of these instances, leagues were organized, and in some movements looking to the erection of new school buildings were begun and the people thus sent on to their important work of developing better school facilities. "In other communities we have found the people laboring in best they could in accordance with the light they had to remedy conditions for the education of their children. We have sometimes found them working with commendable acal, but with poor advice, raising money to repair an inadequate and dilapidated building when only the erection of a new one would constitute a wise investment or endeavoring to secure funds for a longer school term and yet had permitted the school attendance to dwindle almost to the vanishing point during the last month or two of the regular term. "Reports from twenty of the counties of the state will serve to indicate the breadth and effectiveness of the Clean-Up Movement. These twenty counties were selected because the reports coming from them are more or less accurate and complete as we have better means of getting reports from these/than from some other counties. They report 35 dwellings painted, 311 dwellings whitewashed, 1006 homes cleaned, 121 fences repaired and built, 370 out-buildings whitewashed, 51 houses screened, 1029 yards cleaned, 67 sanitary closets built, 21 closets repaired, 138 barns and out-buildings cleaned, 130 wells and springs improved, 47 schools and school yards cleaned, and 20 churches better ventilated. The reports also show that on 42 farms the tools and implements were repaired and put in order, and on 12 farms untilled land was cleaned. It is impossible to estimate the moral and practical good accomplished through the work done in these twenty counties and in a similar way in most of the other counties of the state." Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee said: "It is not easy to sever my official connection with the Negro Organization Society, and I want to express my keen appreciation of the honor which this organization has conferred upon me from its very beginning in having me act as its president. There is no movement that I know of that is more unique in its makeup and that has offered greater opportunities for the advantage of my race than is true of the Negro Organization Society. While this is my last official address, it is not my valedictory. "It has been very difficult for me to leave Virginia, my native state, and to cast my lot in Alabama, but I have received in Alabama, most cordial and sympathetic consideration from white and black people, including state officials, from His Excellency, Governor Henderson down, and it would be hard to find a more loyal, a more sympa- Hetic and a more efficient corps of workers than the two hundred men and women of my race whom Dr. Washington gathered about him at the great Tuskegee Institute. "In the first place, the Negro must have faith and belief in and respect for his own race. It is easy enough to give reasons why the Negro in America has hitherto been lacking in race pride. The idea that the Negro has been cursed by the Creator should find no lodgment in any of our minds. If we are to live and prosper alongside of the white race, the dominant race in America, we must have greater faith in our race, in its possibilities. "A few hundred years ago the white race was not the dominant race, and they have had a hard and bitter struggle to win out," and you, and I must go through the same sort of difficulties, the same wilderness as it were before we reach our promised land. We cannot hope to get the respect and confidence or the appreciation of other races if we are ashamed of ourselves, and wish we were anything else but ourselves, for race respect like individual self-respect begets respect. "Let us remember that few of any races in our stage of development, notwithstanding the difficulties, under which we live, have as good a chance to grow and develop and to be really and useful as is true of the Negroes in the United States, and especially in the Southern part of the United States. "In the second place, if we are to hold our own alongside of the white man here in Virginia and the South, we have got to be a healthy, strong, vigorous people. No sickly, happy- lucky- lucky, weak, "tolerable" race in health can hope to cope in any sense by the side of a strong, vigorous, healthy, proud, self-respecting race of people; In other words, the colored people have got to lay more stress on good health if they are to succeed. They must give more care to their premises and their persons, must insist upon having proper sleep and proper food. We cannot stay out until two or three o'clock in the morning at dance halls, pool rooms, gambling dens, and give our employer a good day's work the next day. Such dissipation leaves us not only physically but morally unfit. The death rate is entirely too high among our people from tuberculosis as well as from other diseases." Dr. Motton also emphasized the importance of securing the co-operation of state officials in public campaigns for better health and better schools. We outlined the industrial opportunities which are opening up to the Negro, and urged his hearers to be "so faithful, so efficient, so prompt, so reliable, so courteous, and so conscientious in work, whatever that work may be, whether in the shop, in the kitchen, on the farm, or on the street, that people cannot dispense with their services." NEGRO HALFBACK'S WORK HELPS BROWN WIN FROM YALE New Haven, Conn., Nov. 11—Yale football stock which has been above par this fall took a sudden tumble today when Brown romped away with the annual game 21 to 6. Brown made three touchdowns and kicked the goals. Yale, while rushing the ball well at times lacked the punch so Braden's drop kicking ability was resorted to with good success. He made good in two out of three attempts for all of Yale's points. The game was filled with thrills, most of which, were contributed by Pollard, Brown's fleet Negro halfback. He reeled off sensational runs at frequent intervals. In the last period with Brown leading by a point he made victory certain by ducking, dodging and squirming through the whole Yale team and going 55 yards for a touchdown. PLANS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF NEGROES' HEALTH COLORED LABOR MAKES GOOD COLORED LABOR MAKES GOOD ROCKY MOUNT COTTON MILL OPERATED BY COLORED LABOR PASSES THE EXPERIMENT STAGE-WILL ENLARGE PLANT (By O. R. Pope.) Rocky Mount, N. C.—The cotton mill employing Negro help only in this city is being very successfully operated, according to the superintendent. The project has passed the experimental stage. Ground has already been purchased for an enlargement of this kind of work. On the fourth Sunday in this month there will be a great roll-call rally at St. James Baptist Church. Many visitors are expected from the different churches of the city as well as the surrounding section. The announcement that the last dollar had been paid on the Lincoln School piano brought joy to the teachers and students. The instrument was purchased in February, 1913. The school paid $200 and the School Board gave $115, which included the interest. The school grounds will now be beautified. A class from the Winston-Salem Orphan House gave a concert in the A. M. E. Church last Tuesday night. It was a splendid concert and was witnessed by a large audience. The Rev. G. A. Mial, the superintendent, is traveling with them. The Rev. M. A. Tallely lectured to the students of Lincoln School last Thursday morning. Miss T. K. Winberly spent last Saturday and Sunday in Norfolk. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hall were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Buskerville last Tuesday night while enroute to a visit to Jamesville and Goldboro from their home, Jersey City, N. J. HOW INDIANA SUPPRESSES LYNCHING Indianapolis, Indiana—The Washington (Indiana) Indiana says: "Many years ago the State of Indiana passed a law which operates to remove a sheriff who permits a mob to take a prisoner away from him. The removal is automatic. The burden rests with the sheriff to regain his office by a showing that he did his whole duty in defense of his prisoner. Since that time, the year 1899, there has been but one case of lynching in Indiana, in which instance a mob took a prisoner from a Sullivan county sheriff and hanged him. But the prisoner was seized as he was, being brought into the state from Illinois and before he was placed into the jail. This case happened shortly after the passing of the law, and there has been no lynching since. Before that statute went into effect, the crime of lynching was common in Indiana. There is but one county in southern Indiana, we believe, that has not had one or more successful appeals to lynch law. The exception is this county (Davies), and there have been some narrow escapes here, the mobs having been frustrated several times by brave and resourceful sheriffs. As a matter of fact, sheriffs frequently, if not usually, either were in sympathy with the purpose of the mobs or were indifferent. But they changed their attitude when the law presented to them the alternative of losing their offices if they fall to protect their prisoners. There is not a jail in Indiana which is not proof against a mob if it is in charge of a brave sheriff who respects his oath of office." INSTITUTES FOR NEGRO FARMERS IN MISSISSIPPI Agricultural College, Miss.—With the view of encouraging the Negroes of Mississippi to remain at their farm work rather than to leave for the North upon the first offer of better pay, Director E. R. Lloyd of the cooperative extension work of the Mississippi A. and M. College and Federal Government is planning a series of farmers' institutes for Negroes. By teaching the Negroes better farming methods and pointing out the way of avoiding certain crop conditions, Director Lloyd hopes to increase the usefulness of the Negroes to themselves and to the State. Much has already been accomplished in this direction by Negro county agents, who are working under the direction of a State demonstration agent. The first of the proposed institutes for Negro farmers will be held at Artesia, Miss., shortly, and a number of extension workers will make addresses. The extension service to Negro farm workers has been approved by the State Commissioner of Agriculture and the Federal Government. Fire on Monday evening, Nov. 6th, damaged considerably the home of Mr. Ashoy on O'Keefe St. READ THE SPECIAL YEAR BOOK OFFER ON PAGE TWO. PRICE FIVE CENTS NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK TO BE OBSERVED APRIL 22-28, 1917-OFFICIAL CALL ISSUED RACE ORGANIZATIONS WILL CO-OPERATE. The Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, at the annual session held in Kansas City, Missouri, August 16, 17, and 18, 1916, passed a resolution ratifying the suggestion of the Secretary of the National Organization that a Negro Health Week be observed next year, as was done during the year 1916 under the general direction and supervision of Dr. Booker T. Washington, President, and the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League. The Secretary was authorized to work out full details of publicity in connection with the observance of National Negro Health Week, and announce same through the public press. Since the meeting of the National Negro Business League, it has been decided by the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute to devote the coming Tuskegee Negro Conference, to be held January 17 and 18, 1917, to a discussion mainly of Negro Health. It has thus been decided that these two influential organizations shall join hands in a campaign for Negro Health. The week beginning Sunday, April 22, 1917, has been decided upon as the week to be observed, and an Invitation is hereby extended to each and every organization interested in Negro Health to join with them in the effort to improve health conditions among the Negro people, especially the Daily and weekly newspapers. Health Journals. The National Medical Association. The National Association of Graduate Nurses. The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools. The National Negro Press Association. The Bishops and Other Officers of Colored Religious Denomination. State Medical Associations. Annual Church Conferences and Associations. Secret Society Organizations. Colored Insurance Companies. Farmers' Conferences. Farmers' Improvement Societies. Churches, Schools, and Other Local Organizations. State Health Officers In the observance of this National Negro Health Week, the organizations already mentioned are exceedingly fortunate in having the co-operation of such an important agency for civic settlement us the National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau, with headquarters in the Klinchok Building, St. Louis, Missouri, Mr. Allen W. Clark, its chairman, has written to offer its services to the National Negro Business League and other organizations, to the extent of supplying literature to any and all organizations which may be formed for the purpose of conducting campaigns in the interest of better health for Negroes, and which may write to him for same. According to the Negro Year Book, 450,000 Negroes in the South are seriously ill all the time, at an annual cost of $75,000,000; 112,000 Negro workers in the South are sick continuously, losing annual earnings of $45.000,000; 225,000 Negroes in the South die annually, paying a funeral expense bill of $15,000,000; 100,000 of these deaths could be prevented, saving annually $6,500,000 in funeral expenses alone, and in potential earnings $170.000,000. It is thought that members of the race will again welcome the opportunity to unite its efforts in one great National Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and enthusiasm that will come from another great united effort for health improvement. As the late Dr. Booker T. Washington said in the 1915 call, "Without health, and until we reduce the high death-rate, it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in business, in property getting, in acquiring education, or to show other evidences of progress. Without health and long life all else fails. We must reduce our high death-rate, dethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for difference here. Let us make a strong, long, united pull together." (Signed) J. C. NAPIER, President National Negro Business League. R. R.

PROMINENT AMONG WOMEN LEADERS New York. Much credit should be given the various groups of women of our race for the splendid work they are doing for racial advancement in many good movements. In many such groups are individuals who by industry and persistence have won a nation wide reputation in more than ordinary lines of work. Among the foremost in the individual line is Miss Alice L. M. MISS ALICE L. T. WAYTE. Thompson Waytes, who was the chairman of the colored women's national Republican committee here during the recent national political campaign. Miss Waytes is a native of Union county, S. C. After completing her public school course Miss Waytes entered Benedict college, where she took the college preparatory course. She also completed a course in missionary training at Shaw university, Raleigh, in 1001. From Shaw university Miss Waytes went to the Moody Bible institute, at Chicago, in which she further perfected her studies, finishing the course in 1001. She taught in the Howard graded school at Columbia and, all told, has had six years' experience as a schoolteacher. In 1910 Miss Waytes was appointed superintendent of Bible school work by the Church Federation society of New York. As a speaker and lecturer she has had an interesting career. Upon the formation of the Progressive party at Chicago in 1912 Miss Waytes was selected as one of the campaign speakers and did effective work on a tour through Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Massachusetts. Besides her work as above given she is a gospel preacher of no mean ability and also an author and writer. Among her best works are "Modern. Proverbs and the Hidden Fire." She has traveled extensively throughout the United States working for the advancement of the race in various movements. At Columbia, S. C., she succeeded in organizing the Columbia City mission, through which hundreds of garments were distributed to the poor. She was one of the prime factors in the organization of the Frederick Douglass Center in Chicago and also organized the Bible class of the Mount Olivet Baptist church in Chicago. In 1908 Miss Waytes was a teacher at the Live Oak institute, Live Oak, Fla. During 1011 Miss Waytes was the pastor of the Shilloh Baptist church, West Medford, Mass. On resigning the pastorate of the church at West Medford she was called to church in one of the western states, but an urgent demand for her services among prisoners won her sympathies. In this line of religious and social service work she traveled a great deal. She has delivered lectures to the student body at Fisk university, Roger Williams university, Hartshorn college, Virginia Union university, Howard university and at the Florida Baptist college. Miss Waytes has received a number of letters of commendation from prominent educators, statesmen and clergymen on her work. The one from former President Roosevelt states that Mr. Roosevelt was very much pleased with her work as a campaign speaker for the Progressive party in 1912. Another letter of the same tone of sentiment was sent to Miss Waytes from the Tribune-Herald at Rome, Ga., and from a number of other papers in the various sections of the country. Miss Waytes did woman service for the Republican party in the political campaign which closed on Nov. 7. Her services are in constant demand, and she is kept busy at all times. She is a contributor to four weekly papers. She knows the art of newspaper writing quite well and states the facts as they are. She knows how to create favorable public sentiment for the race in her writing and lectures. As an organizer and leader she has won her way up through difficulties and from obscurity to great prominence. Her Son Subject to Croup. "My son Edwin is subject to croup," writes Mrs. E. O.

I have unfortunately received a blow by my boss's brother across the forehead with a blunt pointed instrument. It knocked me out speechless to the ground and some one was compelled to come to my assistance. When I came to myself, there was a cavity in my forehead about two inches long and % of an inch wide. This blow was so severe that I was compelled to quit my work. I began to feel worse and worse. I came to the city of NORFOLK to my cousin's home. His wife, Mrs. White, a member of Bank street, told me of the good that Rev. Cummings is doing for her as a patient. She advised me to go and see him. I had a talk with him.

The latest figures on the number of colored persons who have left the south within the past six months is given as 118,000. Ninety-five per cent are men ranging in age from eighteen to fifty. This large number is scattered in the following named states: New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, West Virginia and Connecticut. The majority of these are from Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama. As a natural result of this great exodus of laborers the industries of the states from which they come must suffer. The big farmers are at their wits' end to cope with the situation. Especially is this true in the cotton belt sections of the south. This growing unrest among the colored people to better their condition, however, is no now tiring to the thousands of white people in the different sections of the south, who are accustomed to employing colored people as farm hands and the like. They have long known that whenever the opportunity presented itself those people would take advantage of it to better their condition as to weapons, environment, facilities for education and protection from mob violence, which has come to be like a national game of addiction, indulged in as will. The reports of the burrows of immigration of the departments of labor show that during the fiscal years of 1915 and 1916 169,500 Italian returned to Italy, 2,170 Bulgarians, Servians and Montenegrians, 3,622 Germans, 13,500 subjects of Great Britain, 8,096 Frenchmen, 1,400 Roumanians, 1,000 Russians and 1,000 Japs to their native countries. Last spring, when the business of the railroads and the mines began to prosper as they had not done before in years, the demand for unskilled labor increased rapidly. The freight congestion in and about New York caused a pressing demand for truck hands. In former years the railroads had called on Europe and Asia for extra supplies. Labor agents and steamship companies co-operated to fill orders for thousands of men for rough work. In the first half of 1916, when they could not get people from the war zone, they turned to the south and offered the colored man the chance which should have been given him years ago. The present movement of colored labor from the cotton states of the south to the great industrial centers of the north, east and west was started by the Erie and Pennsylvania railroads in a legitimate way. The agents of these roads commenced their efforts to increase their operating forces by appealing to the federal department of labor's distribution office, connected with the division of information. The roads took advantage of Secretary Wilson's plan to land the "jobless man" in the "manless job." The first call was made on Florida and Georgia. It was made known at Jacksonville and Savannah that these two great roads would pay 22 cents an hour, seven days a week, and use the men overtime, and the exodus began in earnest. Too many farmers, progressive in most respects, who raise orchard fruits do not practice having a thorough and general cleaning up of the orchard before winter closes in. Brush piles, heaps of leaves, rubbish along the fence rows and unshelled fruit are allowed to remain in the orchard until spring before being burned or otherwise disposed of. Nearly all the insect pests that make trouble--for the orchard owner take advantage of everything in the nature of rubbish in which to spend the winter. Time spent late in the fall clearing everything that will harbor insects is a profitable sight when the enemy is taken at a disadvantage. Farm and Fireside. --- WINTER STORAGE. Fruits and Vegetables Should Be Stored For Heme Consumption. Be prepared to meet the high cost of living by storing fruits and vegetables now, is the advice of M. F. Ahaearn, professor of landscape gardening in the Kansas State Agricultural college. "Do not pay winter prices for fruits and vegetables," said Professor Ahaearn, "when by a simple reorganization of the cellar or some digging in the garden storage room can be provided for the preservation of large quantities of this class of food. "If the fruit shrivels or becomes spongy and decays the fault in most cases can be traced to the storage room and may be corrected wholly or in part. The cellar must be well ventilated if fruit is to be kept successfully for any length of time. Temperature and humidity are factors quite as important as ventilation. The best temperature for fruit is 33 degrees or a little above. "It is not well to allow much fluctuation in the temperature. In the farm cellar uniformity of temperature is maintained by means of ventilation, which should be watched closely. "Apples may be packed either in barrels or in boxes. The preference is usually given to the boxes. In the case of apples that are to be kept for a considerable time it is a good plan to wrap each one separately in a piece of paper." Favorable conditions of moisture and temperature are obtained by burying the fruit in pits, points out Professor Alcarn. To prevent apples tasting of the earth they should be placed in boxes, barrels or other containers which keep them from direct contact with the soil, or the pit may be lined with boards. Storage requirements for vegetables differ widely. The sweet potato and the squash are kept successfully only when the temperature is high and constant and the humidity is low. Root crops and cabbage can best be stored in pits. For storing cabbage in this manner the heads are pulled with the roots and leaves attached and placed upside down. Earth is placed on the plio until the plants, including the roots, are entirely covered. The Strap as a Jar Opener. Unscrewing the tops of jars is a simple operation with the aid of a shawl or belt strap. The strap cannot slip, because the harder it is pulled the harder it grips the jar. If the make part of the jar can be held to withstand the pull of the strap the most obstinate cover will have to capitate. Where the ordinary types of jar openers do not fit, the strap is an effective substitute.—Popular Science Monthly. Improving Potato Seed. The Wisconsin experiment station, among others, has been giving special attention to potato seed improvement and of late years is showing that proper storage of seed stock is just as important as the improvement of seed. For several years the main effort was to standardize the leading commercial potato varieties grown in the state. The number of the most approved varieties has been reduced to six, some of which give best results under the different varying conditions of climate and soil in different sections of the state. When holding the seed stock for supplying growers in the spring with improved seed it was found by the station experts that the seed lost much of its value through the effect of improper storage conditions. To make sure of good and safe storage a cellar was built in a well drained hillside. The walls and roof of this cellar are of concrete construction. Both walls and roof were then lined with lumber, which provided an air space of one and one half inches. This cellar, with a storage capacity of 3,000 bushels, has now been in use for three years and has given excellent satisfaction. Manicuring and Masseuse Ideal Scalp Food used exclusively.

Saturday, November 18, 1916 MAKING A SOCIAL CLUB OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. The following statement was printed in the local daily papers last Wednesday: "Encouraged by the large vote cast in this city for Charles E. Hughes, in the presidential election last week, the Republicans of Norfolk are planning to perfect a strong organization and to put a municipal ticket in the field next spring. "For the purpose of beginning preliminary work and to make an effort to get every Republican qualified to vote next spring, there will be a meeting of the city committee of that party next week in the office of Henry Bowden, chairman. "Mr. Bowden said last night that efforts would be made to get all white Republicans to qualify to vote and to join the Republican club now in course of formation." "He says all Republicans and all white men, old and young, who desire to affiliate with that party can secure the necessary assistance and information from him. "Cards are being circulated for the signatures of white voters who desire to join the Republican club. On this card are space for the signature of the voter, his name and residence address and occupation. "Above the signature of the printed these words: "I here is a member of the Rep's the Club of Norfolk, and agree to support the nominees of the republican party in city, state and national elections." "With the proper kind of campaign, Mr. Bowden and other Republicans believe Norfolk can poll 1500 Republican votes. Mr. Hughes received over 900 votes last Tuesday, and Republican leaders say at least 200 Republicans failed to go to the polls, thinking it was not worth while to vote where the result was not in doubt. "For the first time in twenty years, and for the first time in the memory of many young Republicans, three precincts in Norfolk returned a majority for the nominee of that party. "It is planned to have a series of meetings and to establish a permanent headquarters for the club." The proposed plan of City Chairman Bowden does not cause any surprise among colored Republicans of the city, "Lily-whiteism" is an old thing in this part of the country and when it is advertised colored Republicans are not alarmed nor are they in any way disturbed. The wonder is that sensible men should align themselves with such a movement. The policy of "lily-whiteism" has profited the Republican party nothing in the South. It has been proclaimed for ten years without results to the Republican party as the election-returns have shown. Mr. Bowden wished to form a Republican club or add to the party membership from the Democratic ranks it was not necessary for him to advertise that the movement was for whites only. It was not necessary for him to thus insult the intelligence and manhood of the colored Republicans and independents of the city, for no respectable colored Republican has ever sought or desired a conference with him or membership in his organization. Fortunately a colored Republican does not have to secure Mr. Bowden's consent, nor the consent of any of his associates, in order to belong to the Republican party or vote the Republican ticket. Mr. Bowden deceives himself and attempts to deceive white Democrats as to the real strength of the Republican party in Norfolk by making the statement that Mr. Hughes carried three precincts in the city. Mr. Hughes carried the Huntersville precinct, e practically all of the voters are, and he carried one precinctams ward and one in Jefferson d where there is a large colored area. Without the colored vote Mr. Hughes would not have carried a single precinct in Norfolk. If in this showing Mr. Bowden sees any appreciable drift of white voters to the Republican party in Norfolk he lays an optimism that is blind indeed. Mr. Howden and his political associates have a perfect right to form any sort of a political club or organization they desire for promoting the growth of the Republican party in Norfolk, and they have the further right to restrict the membership to whomsover pleases them, but they will learn, if they do not know, that such a movement has only factional significance and will not represent the party—certainly not the Republican party. Four years hence the lily-wise faction of the Republican party in this city will have an opportunity to show just what it can do in a national election. And they will not have the votes of the colored Republicans and of the more liberal-minded members of the party to bolster up their immitency. The South is queer on the Republican party idea. It is in the blood. The Democrats can be solidified by an appeal to class and race hatred, but a Democrat does not seem to have much respect for a white Republican who proclaims that he has "purified" himself by disavowing his associations with the colored brother with whom he has been consorting. As an example take the case of ex-Judge Francis D. Winston of the second judicial district of North Carolina. Mr. Winston was a candidate for judge of the superior court in a democratic primary last August. In the beginning of the campaign he was a two-to-one favorite over his opponent, but later on it was charged that once in his career he had voted the Republican ticket. The charge was sufficient to defeat him overwhelmingly. "Lily-whiteism" promises nothing to the Republican party in Norfolk or elsewhere. The party will build upon its merits or upon the principles upon which it was founded or it will die of stagnation, a death it will deserve if it surrenders its convictions to class and rage prejudice. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD? While this paper desired the election of Charles Erans Hughes as president we are not entirely despondent because success rested upon Woodrow Wilson. It is not Mr. Wilson that we fear so much as we do his party. We believe that at heart Woodrow Wilson is a much bigger man than his party, that he is really democratic in his ideals, and that his failure to fulfill certain promises and obligations to colored Americans has been due to the fact that during his administration he has been forced to pursue as a matter of policy his course in regard to the race. Now that his legislative program has been largely carried out and practically all "deserving Democrats" have been provided for we look for the president to pay less head to the whims of little politicians who wanted for personal reasons a Negro demoted here and there in the civil service or wanted a position in the consular service held by a Negro. Except as a matter of principle the loss of a few political jobs does not affect the race. We can afford to lose the political jobs if we lose them on account of politics, but it is quite another thing to have to surrender them an account of color. That is what many colored men in the government service have had to do, not so much we believe to satisfy Mr. Wilson as to satisfy some of his henchmen. We hope that in the beginning of his second term, with his political ambitions amply fulfilled, Mr. Wilson will divorce himself from some of the undemocratic influences that have beset him during his first administration. During the next four years the president will be confronted by some of the most serious and most complicated problems that ever confronted a chief executive of this nation. The Mexican situation, the European war, the great conflict between capital and labor, the tariff and the combinations in restraint of trade which are constantly sending upward the cost of living all present great questions for Mr. Wilson to handle. In their solution he needs the support and good will of all Americans, regardless of race or color, and under such circumstances it is hard to be believe that the president will yield to partisan influences in dealing with domestic matters that affect the interests and welfare of any great body of American citizens. If the country under Woodrow Wilson's next administration is prosperous, the Nogro will prosper in proportion as all Americans prosper. If, for instance, the sudden ending of the war should bring on an extended period of depression the American Nogro will suffer in common with all Americans. Let us hope for the best, and let us not relinquish our Americanism nor yield to any class the proud and exalted position we have held in upholding the ideals and institutions of our country. Mrs. F. R. Trigg entertained the members of the Svastika Club and a few members on Thursday evening of last week at her home on Cumberland street. The visitors were: Mrs. F. G. Elliott of Portsmouth, Misses Bessie Burke, Eva Dorsey and Madaline Smith, Mrs. Lulu D. Jones. The "animated whisk broom" did not brush much dust in the west. A certain professor says that "spooning" is a waste of time. The Prof. must be a disappointed old bachelor or a very homely specimen. The country, judging from the results, has an over supply of "deserving democrats." So far we have not seen the returns of the Bull Moose vice president, Parker of Louisiana. Mr. Willcox the Republican campaign manager is evidently a firm believer in "watchful waiting." The election bets are not half as freakish as the election returns. The 100 per cent candidate, seems to have not kept up his average by any means. There are many politicians who are now convinced that women shouldn't vote. Secretary Daniels to retire from cabinet—News item—Is it possible that Mr. Wilson can man the ship of State without the secretary of the Navy? Now that the big show is over, the public will settle down and indulge in the great pastime of raising prices and lynching. PUBLIC OPINION The Paper Monopoly. The Federal Trade Commission officially reports that paper mills are making paper at slightly less cost than they did a year ago, and yet they are charging from two to three times as much. It is not believed that this can be done without collusion between them, a sort of "gentleman's agreement," which should be rendered impossible by law. Conspiracies in restraint of trade are punishable, but they have to be proved in court. The best way to stop such monopoly squeezing as this which is now going on in the paper trade, is to empower the Federal Trade Commission to set maximum prices, just as the Interstate Commerce Commission sets maximum railroad rates. Whenever by investigation the commission discovers such a situation as this in the paper trade it should have the power to put a stop to unconscionable high prices by fixing a maximum price, based upon the cost of production. That would prevent monopoly prices in any article of commerce that were more than temporary in their application. The law of supply and demand needs supervision by authority as an antidote to manipulation by monopoly and combination.—St. Louis Star. The Agriculturist on Tap. The farmer who has a crop of beans this year can market the most valuable load of edible produce at this time of writing. Six dollars for a bushel of beans, and an upward tendency market certainly justifies the slang synonym for dollars—"beans," and also explains the shrinkage in the quantity furnished in local serve-selfs. But the potato crop is almost as much of a gold mine. When a single load of potatoes will bring in the home market—Leclanau county, way up in the Grand Traverse region at that, the tidy sum of $115.75, the humble spud at once attains the honor and importance which attaches to an unexpected rise in rank and dignity incident to sudden wealth. We have coal barons, why not potato barons? A Leclanau farmer gave each of his two daughters a load of potatoes, the sole condition being that they should pick them up and market them themselves. What country girl would not grasp at such a chance. The conditions were fulfilled, and the girls came home from town with the tidy sum of $219.36 in their pockets. The farmer is certainly "on top" in this year of high food prices, and the business of agriculture should take a new dignity through this leading. Farmers should see in this year's phenomenal values for all their products a chance to get out of debt and raise larger and better crops through use of better opportunities and more capital—Detroit Free Press The Hiring Fever. It is a very serious mistake on the part of our people to hire labor beyond their means. I have known many a colored man to have a splendid start financially and lose it all by playing rich. He sees Mr. "A" riding a fine horse, overseeing a number of hands and he imagines he can safely do likewise. So he puts what little money he has made into fine horses, buggies and expensive furniture, loses his fondness for work and lives a life of ease. He finally wakes up and finds himself an old man with nothing to live upon. Then he begins to say "hands" wasted all I made, which is true, but who permitted them to do so? Now is your time to think and plan and save if your last days would be the happiest and best. Remember that men will help you waste your earnings, but they will laugh when your pocket book is empty. They will pat you on the shoulder as long as your money lasts and run when you want to borrow.—The Negro Farmer Come out tonight (Friday) and hear the lecture by Row. P. W. Ellogor at First Baptist Church under the auspices of Grace P. E. Church. Mr. Ellogor will lecture on "Bishop Ferguson in the Republic of Liberia." Huntsville, Ala.—It has been a real long time since I sent a letter, perhaps not one since the meeting of the National Baptist Convention in Savannah, Ga., and some of you have been thinking that I was dead, but, I have been resting up, and now I am ready to send you just a few more letters, and hope that they may find you all enjoying good health. Of course they have had an election in this country and a very close shave all around, and this will make us of some more importance in the future. We will have to help to settle the many problems and questions in America, and I am proud of this one thing. I am one of the voters of the United States, and I will have a say in the next president. I have been so many places since I sent you my last letter until I hardly know where to start, but I think I had just as well turn my attention to the last place, and then if I have time to tell you about the other places, I will do so, but if not then I shall mention them from time to time in other letters. I spent a few days in Roanoke, Va., attending the session of the Negro Organization Society. I am sure you do not know much about this, for I did not myself until recently. This is an organization of all the organizations in the State of Virginia, Church, benevolent, lodges and everything else, and even individuals who are interested in race development and uplift belong to it. It had its birth in the fertile brains of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who at the time was connected with Hampton Institute. Of course he did not see himself leaving Hampton at such an early date, but God had all this in His mind. This was not merely an organization to make offices, but to help the people. It started out in a crusade for better homes, better farms, better schools and better health, and all of these things play an important part in civilization and the uplift of humanity. This has been accomplished to a great extent. Now this is not mere talk, but they raise money, and go into places where the schools need help and shell down the money for that; they go out in the country, help the farmers, help the home building and then have two men on the road all the time preaching the doctrine of better health, better homes, better farms and better schools to the people. They go from house to house, visit the schools, the churches, conventions, associations, conferences and everywhere they find a human being to be helper they are there. There is a farm demonstrator connected with the society. Dr. Moton, on account of leaving the state, retired from active presidency, but he was made honorary president, and will be connected with the organization all of his life. Major Allen Washington, known throughout the state as "Big Brother," was elected president, while Prof. J. M. Gandy, another great educator, was made executive secretary; Prof. Edgar A. Long, of Cambria, was made the recording secretary; Prof. W. T. B. Williams, was made the treasurer. Well, you had an account of it in your paper no doubt and I will not enter into details this time. These meetings were attended by the people of both races, and the daily papers to their readers, in which it might be rightful all of this and could hardly keep from shouting. I just shouted right out in church so to speak, when the leading white people of the city of Ronnoke furnished their automobiles to the delegates to go over the city. This was a great thing. I wish you could have seen that string of automobiles. They were headed by Charles Stultz, who is one of the finest in the country. He had much to do with arranging the plan. You do not remember Stultz, but he is the man who went with his employer to Miami, Florida, and the white men down there wanted to declare that no "nigger" should ever drive a car through the streets of Miami because it was a white man's job. They right white people threatened to put out their winter homes and that would have put Minni into inhominess, and I tell you they got together and said that "nigger tourists" could drive through town, but none other. I could only thank God for that. We went out in the country in one of them. I mean a big crowd. Editor P. B. Young, of the Journal and Guide was in the car where I was, and I felt that I was with big men. Mailt torbro Brooks was in the same car. We went out to the home of J. D. Oliver. It was Bellgrove farm, and one of the finest owned by our people, and them people did have some dinner that crowd of men, and they did eat. It was real cool pleasure to have been there and I enjoyed it so much. I got much real pleasure out of it. I was seated at the time and table right by Dr. Moton, and that had some bearing on my head. I remained through the session, and that Friday night meeting was a gem. I shall never forget it. During my stay in the city I was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. E. E. Ricks. Dr. Ricks is pastor of the First Baptist Church where most of the sessions were held about how to seek and tell you about visit through Virginia, and something else about that great big meeting there. God bless all the people. Let me have a line from you when you can do so. ST. JOHN'S A.M.E. CHURCH NOTES. Sunday quarterly meeting. Preaching 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. by Rev. Dr. F. A.

For a long time owners of lots in West Point cemetery have suffered much annoyance and inconvenience because of an inadequate water supply in caring for the graves of their loved ones. The one spigot near the entrance was so worn and with such rusted and leaky connections that an aggravatingly long time was required to fill the one bucket there, and the consequent loss of time and the long GUIDE—Galley Four writes of patrons for each other caused much complaint. At the urgent request of a number of persons, Mr. W. H.

Resolved, That we are especially indebted to Dr. S. N. Vass for the profound and simple way in which he has in these fifteen lectures taught us out of God's word. That we glory to God for having in this fifteenth anniversary of Kentucky Baptists sent into our ranks such an able student of God's word as Doctor Vass. All of the instructors in above school were white except Doctor Yuss. Dr. S. N. Vass, of Raleigh, N. C. It is not a question about Doctor Vass not knowing his business. He is a bible scholar, filled with the Holy Ghost. He is like a ball of thread that continues to unravel. He captured the convention with his Bible lectures. The lectures were so interesting that the delegates forgot about their dinner. Every eye was gazing at Doctor Vass as he unfolded the Bible. He did untold good. The convention passed a resolution inviting him to come to the convention each year to give Bible lectures.-Christian Hope report of the Alabama Baptist State Sunday School Convention at Anniston, Ala., August 1, 1912. There will be no charges, only free will offerings. T. W. Stancell, Supt. Ms M. E. D. Dulloy, Sec'y. MERRICK-MOORE.

The editor-in-chief of the Journal and Guide spent several days in Ranonoke, Va., last week and was pleased to note the success of two young men who went to that city from Tidewater Virginia, namely; Messrs. Washington A. and Jacob L. Reid, formerly of Portsmouth. The former is engaged in the general real estate business and the latter is practising law, and both are succeeding splendidly. We made some inquiries and learned that these young men stand high in business circles of both races, and also take front rank in religious and social activities. They are both modest, unassuming young men and are making their mark. It is also a pleasure to note the success of Rev. Dr. G. C. Taylor, pastor of the A. M. E. Church in Roanoke. He is held in high esteem in the city and there exists unity and spiritual fervor in his congregation. He is now planning to remodel the church office. Dr. Taylor is well and favorably known in Norfolk, where he held several pastorates before going to Roanoke. MR.

The 21st Sunday after Trinity which falls on the 12th of November this year, is the time the Sunday School has its Children's Day Service. This being the Sunday 1886 the superintendent was baptized and confirmed in a class of 25, presented by the late Rev. J. B.

For the past 15 years he has been the director of music and has trained more than 50 persons who are now taking a part in music. He is now organizing a boys club which he hopes to place in the choir in the future. St. Matthias has always been noted for its most excellent music and services. The First Baptist Church has about the largest Sunday School in the city. It was the pleasure of the writer to visit them on Sunday, November 6th. Mr. Marvin Jordan is the superintendent and is a most excellent man, and deserves credit for being able to build up such a large school. He has also an excellent corps of teachers and officers, and the children are under good control. The writer expects to visit all the other Sunday Schools in the near future.

Dr. William Doget is much in demand by those who suffer from rheumatic pain, claiming that by applying his hands to the afflicted parts the pains are alleviated. The "Doctor" suffies cunningly when he is dubbed the "Rubber Doctor" by his friends. He makes no charges but during spare time will go when requested to relieve the suffering. The Abbott Street Public School under the principalship of Mrs. A. H. Lee, assisted by Misses Hattle L. Bennette, Virginia Hill and Mesdames Boyd and Townes, is called one of the very best in the city. They have a strong and enthusiastic Welfare League connected with the school. The J. R. Gildings and Jollifee Tents will hold their Thanksgiving services with the First Baptist. As the building may be over-crowded the church has secured the Ridge Street Tabernacle for the occasion.

Baker.) Littleton, N. C.—Sunday, October 20th, was the beginning of a new age here, a progressive spirit seem to govern and inspire everybody to action, especially was this true as to Enon Baptist Church, the first colored church erected in Littleton, of which the Rev. E. A. Taylor is the live and progressive pastor, and one of the truly inspired sons of Scotland Neck. He lined up his several clubs for the battle which begun October 30th. The battle cry was $500.00 to begin the erection of a brick church and the Pastor's Club fired the first gun, Mrs. A. C. Wright and J. D. Alston, captain. The choir was at its best with Madam Alice Brown, organist, which assured excellent music. The Rev. Wm. Edmonds prescheduled from Eph. 5:22-25, and the collection at the close of service was $16.50. On Tuesday night, Club No. 2, led by Miss Lena Robinson, reported. Club No. 3, led by Miss Carrie Carrie Higgs, reported on Wednesday night with a hurrah for Enon, and at the close of this service the collection was $27.10. On Thursday night, Miss Mary Mays, leader of Club No. 4, reported. Rev. Daniel Martin was expected but having failed Rev. Stamper was substituted and preached a soul stirring sermon. At the close of this service the collection was $20.00. Last, but not least, was Club No. 5, led by Deacon C. G. Wright. He reported on Friday night, which ended the service for the week. At the close of which $28.50 was the collection, which carried the total for the week up to $103.50. We extend thanks to all who helped in this our first effort and hope to close the rally on the third Sunday night with the desired amount, $500.00, for beginning the new brick church, which will cost between six and ten thousand dollars. Colored Choir Contest. Greenville, N. C.—The contest in the Gaiety Theatre last Tuesday night, October 31, between the Greenville and Tarboro A. M. E. Zion choirs, was a grand success from every point of view. The building was crowded, large numbers had to stand throughout the contest. The Greenville people showing as keen an appreciation of the event as Tarboro. There will be a return contest between the same two choirs in the Court House here next Monday. November 13th. The Tarbore choir won, it is true, but the Greenville team hit hard for first place and if Tarbore gets off the edge here next Monday night, Greenville will come dashing into first position. The Greenville choir and audience were a game and jolly lot, and heartily cheered Tarbore's hard won victory. The keenness of the contest there invests the approaching contest here with, a considerable amount of nervous interest and anxiety, and "bets even" is the prospect. THE ONLY HOPE AND DELIVERANCE FOR US (An extract from a sermon preached by the Rev, John T. Ogbum, Ph. D., Sunday, November 12, after the Election.) Theme: "God Is Able And Will Deliver Us." (Special to Journal and Guide.) Youngstown, Ohio. -While I have been always interested in the moral, social, intellectual and spiritual uplift not only of the race to which I belong, but the Country at large, I have never taken very much interest in politics, because I have felt that it was not the place for a minister of the Gospel. But must we never take the history of the United States as much as we have in this past election, and still hope when things are finally settled Hughes will be the successful candidate. This was the closest election since Cleveland's time, and to my mind meant more to the Colored People of this Country than any since or before. When Mr. Wilson was elected before he declared that he would see to it that the rights of these twelve million People who have done so much to help make this Great Country what it pretends to be today would be protected. Since, he has not only done all in his power to belittle us as a race, but has openly declared that he did not want our votes. He has proved beyond a doubt that he is not a friend to us, and we are not considered a part of this Great Nation, yet he is to be our president for the next four years. Knowing of the past should we give up hope for the future? I SAY NO, "God is able, and will deliver us" from out of the hands of our enemies, but remember my friends we must do our part. We must lay aside foolishness, unnecessary pleasures and get right down to business, save your money and go into business, live clean and honest lives, organize, trust in God and he will deliver us just as He did the three Hebrew Children and as He did the Children of Israel from under the yoke of Pharaoh and his devilish host. The God whom we serve is able and will deliver us, even though we may be segregated, jimcrowed, lynched, and everything else God has promised to deliver us if we will put our trust in Him. Then let us in the midst of adverse circumstances take fresh courage, believing if God is for us who can be against us. The next four years should draw us closer and not be like those without hope, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." A Successful Rally At Rocky Mount. N.C. By Mrs. I. A. Rubette. Rocky Mount, C—C, is all nibble of interest and appreciation over the record-breaking rally at the First Baptist Church on last Sunday, in which the sum of $2,036.52 was raised. This is perhaps the largest amount ever raised in a single rally by any church of our people in this section of the state. The result of this rally brings our church within $1,200.00 of being clear of debt, and it is hoped that such encouragement will enshure the membership that they will continue their efforts that raise the balance due within a few weeks. The pastor, Rev. Robert E. susi- tainably his self-hillegraphy as a financier and his man- agement of this campaign clearly demonstrates his ability to take care of a debt on the church. The pastor had the able assistance of Dr. P. W. Burnett the secretary and treasurer of the rally fund, and a successful physician of our city. There were many others who rendered valuable service in the rally, among them were: Messrs. Richmond Lawrence, J. K. Taylor, F. W. Worsley, Wiley Daw, W. H. Penny, R. L. Levistey, Julian Lawrence, John Lewis, G. C. McIntyre, B. D. J. Burnett, Wm. Walters, and Rev. S. L. Evans, also Mesdames Littie B. Smith, Bell Battle, Bery Seasons, G. A. Sessoms, Mamie Sims, W. Walter, L. G.巩亮, and Mines Vivian Hicks and Jessie Grandy, who acted as captains of clubs. This thriving congregation is not only making remarkable records along financial lines, but decided improvement is noted in every phase of the church work. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION. Annual Meeting of New Jersey Organization Hold at Camden. The Afro-American Baptist state convention of New Jersey held its annual meeting at Camden in October, with a large attendance of delegates from churches throughout its jurisdiction. The reports on membership, finance and church property were very encouraging. Special emphasis was placed on the necessity of pushing the financial campaign in the interest of the Northern Baptist university by all the churches of the denomination in the northern and New England states. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President, the Rev. John C. Love of Montclair; vice presidents, the Rev. J. P. Gregory of Atlantic City, the Rev. E. G. Young of Lakewood, J. W. Walker of Moorestown, A. J. Joues of Plinfield and J. W. Green of Paterson; recording secretary, the Rev. L. C. Hurdle; Elizabeth; corresponding secretary, the Rev. R. L. Harris, Engle wood; treasurer, G. W. Krygar, Easy Orange. Charles S. Smith Renders Fine Services The secretary to the chief of police at Cleveland for many years is Charles S. Smith. He has several asstants (white). His appointment after a civil service examination was secured for him by the Hon. Harry E. Smith, ex-member of the Olio legislature and father of Ohio's civil rights and anti-lynching laws. It was an appointment that had been promised to Editor Smith for two years by Mayor Robert E. McKisson, who died several months ago. The editor had to wait, however, until a member of the race passed the civil service examination. NEWS OF THE CITY CHURCHES DR. MORRIS AT PALACE THEATRE SUNDAY NIGHT Subject: "The Lord Is Coming Soon 'Everbody Better Get Ready." The meetings at the Palace Theatre continue to draw the people who are hungry for a deeper spiritual life. God himself has put a hunger in man's soul for himself and pronounced a blessing on all who hunger and thirst after righteousness saying they shall be filled. He says blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you men shall revile you and prosecute you falsely for my name's sake for great is your reward in heaven and people are obeying God and caring little what man shall say or do to them. The result is that people are getting sanctified all the time and the more they are the more God years distress, it is the more time religion one for all delivered to the saints. Three weeks ago Rev. D. Handy got sanctified and spoke to a great crowd at the Palace Theatre and showed so while preaching he broke the table on which he was standing. Two weeks ago one of the deacons wives of Bank street got sanctified and publicly testified to what the Lord had done for her. Last week the wife of one of the ushers got sanctified and last Sunday night publicly professed it. Sunday afternoon Dr. Morris will preach on "How Jesus is able to keep the Bible from telling Morris does so that he cannot sin. No one ever gets to a point where he cannot sin. The Bible does say; 'Be filled with the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh,' if anybody quarrels with that statement their quarrel is not with Dr. Morris, it is BIG CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION BIG CONFERENCE ON EDUCATION B. N. BARNETT DODSON The National Training school, Durham, N. C. is the Mecca to which educators, clergymen, business men and philanthropists will journey for the conference on education, to be held at that institution from Tuesday, Nov. 21 to 24, inclusive. This conference will be one of the most significant gatherings which has ever assembled for the sole purpose of a thorough discussion of problems affecting the present and future well being of our race in the United States. The presidents of universities, colleges and secondary schools who have responded so nobly to Dr. James E. Shepard's invitation regard the coming meeting as the logical outcome of their pleadings for years to prevent duplication by the various schools in methods of training, curriculum, sources of income and the like. That Dr. Shepard has succeeded in making DR. JAMES R. SHEPARD. it possible for such a conference to be held at his school under such favorable conditions is a matter of general satisfaction. Arrangements have been made to accommodate the members of the conference (who are such by their acceptance of the invitation) free of charge, thus relieving them of any thought whatever as to cost of board and room accommodations for the week. Thers will be three sessions of the conference daily after Tuesday, Nov. 21. The conference will open on the above date at 10 o'clock a. m. The second session will begin at 2 o'clock p. m. After each speaker assigned to a particular subject has spoken there will be a general discussion of any subject open to any member of the conference for one hour. A commission will be appointed by the conference to study the various facts brought out, to offer some concrete plan and to present the same to the public. Durham itself presents a field of study and inspiration which will be furnished by no other city of its size in the country. The splendid co-operation of the board of trustees of the national training school in all phases of the institution's efforts to provide adequate equipment for the training of special groups of students for special lines of work has been admirably shown. And again the financial assistance of other white friends of the race at the south and in the north through the influence of members of the board and the sound constructive work of Dr. Shepard made it possible for the school to enter upon the present year's work clear of debt. These are encouraging signs at to the extent white people are interested in promoting educational institutions for our people under the right kind of leadership. Just in proportion as these groups of white people in different sections of the country become informed as to the struggles, needs, aspirations and with God, and the quarrel will be settled at the judgment. God has never changed his command given first to the Jews in the wilderness and reported by Peter to the church after pentecost. Be ye holy for I am holy for without holiness no man shall see the Lord. Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. Rev. N. D. King filled his pulpit Sunday morning and evening to the delight of large and appreciative audiences. The church is on the eve of the annual Conference which will convene at St. Thomas A. M. E. Zion Church, Berkley Ward, of which Rev. M. F. Gregory is pastor, the latter part of this month. In regard to general claims, the pastor is desirous to receive the amount of $1.00 from each and every member of the church. A complete repact, of the financial, numerical and spiritual advancement of the church for this year under the splendid pastorate of Rev. King, will appear in next week's issue of this paper. Harvest League of First Baptist Church. The Harvest League of the First Baptist Church, Bute street, met on Sunday, November 5, and effected the following officers for the ensuing term, namely: President, C. H. Johnson; vice president, Luther Barrett; financial secretary, J. H. Hamlin; recording secretary, Joseph Ravy; treasurer, Andrew Williamson; chaplain, T. J. Marshall; advisor, the pastor, Rev. R. H. Bowling. Ministers Conference. The Baptist Ministers' Conference [Name] The Pastors' Union of Tidewater met with the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church last Monday. The occasion was the closing of the installation services of Rev. Leonas. Many of the pastors and ministers were there to say a good word to pastor and people. Rev. L. A. Perkins was chosen to remain over and represent the Union at night. After enjoying a feast of good things which the members and friends had prepared, the members of the Union left for their homes, leaving Rev. Perkins to say the final word at night. At 5 p.m. a large crowd turned out. Rev. Perkins was introduced and after a few words of congratulation on behalf of the ministers, he proceeded to give them what he calls an old time recipe for success. This theme was taken from Prov. 3:5-6. Many were the cries of amen while that noted divine portaged the power of a godly life. All voted that the Pas- achievements of the colored people will our handcap be removed and a more friendly relation between the white and colored people be increased. The above statement is borne out from the fact that not only the leaders of our own racial institutions are to meet in the coming conference, but the governors of several states, heads of colleges for white people and state and county superintendents of schools have signified their intention to be present and have already announced subjects upon which they are to speak.

It acts good in harmony with nature that it is more like a food than a medicine." Foley's Honay and Tar Compound has a wonderfully quick way of soothing the throat and bronchial tubes. It causes the tightness over the chest, raises the phlegm easily, and helps the stubborn racking cough that is so exhilarating.

Mr. Williams, who hails from Camp Nelson, Ky., received trade and academic training at Hampton institute and won his diploma in 1900. Then he spent one year in the physical directors' course at the Young Men's Christian Association college in Springfield, Mass. He is also a graduate of the Harvard university course in physical education and is the secretary-treasurer of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic association. In 1910 Mr. Williams returned to Hampton institute as physical director. Since then, with quiet effectiveness and with uncommon thoroughness, he has worked early and late, summer [Name] DIRECTOR C.

The death of Mrs. Ellen Chapel, in the South Quay neighborhood last Friday morning, November the 10th, was quite a shock to her many friends, as well as to the whole community. She was a most excellent woman, and was deeply interested in, and worked for the industrial, educational and moral uplift of that particular section of this county. The funeral, which was most largely attended, was held at the Olive Branch Baptist Church, of which she was a faithful member, conducted by the Rev. Smith Howell of Newport News. He was assisted by several ministers. The pastor of Mt. Sanai Baptist Church, and his choir and congregation attended in a body. She leaves a devoted husband, one step son, and a host of admiring friends to mourn that community's loss. The all round training and discipline of boys have been the essential aim rather than the training of a few winning teams which would help advertise the Hampton school. In the Hampton gymnasium during the past six years hundreds of boys have received valuable setting up exercises and helpful ideas for wholesome community recreation which they have been able to put at the service of distant rural and urban districts. Boys who come from Hampton are now expected to bring with them some working plans for community recreation. Many have asked, "Why is Mr. Williams so successful in turning out winning football teams?" Here is the substance of Mr. Williams' reply: "The success of Hampton athletic teams is due first to the regular life and habits of the students; second, to their sense of obedience, which is the unconscious reaction to military drill, and third, to their fine spirit of loyalty to the Hampton school and its officers." The director also believes in "preparedness in athletics." He applies to his problems scientific knowledge and does not have to worry about results, for the results take care of themselves. He gives to the men under his charge much individual study and care. He does not allow good material to go to waste in losing teams through lack of training and understanding. Every summer Mr. Williams gives a course in physical training at Hampton, which covers instruction in callisthenics, the use of wands, dumbbells and Indian clubs, gymnastic and playground games, folk games and athletics. The work in callisthenics is designed to give some idea of graded gymnastics by means of free exercises without hand apparatus that may be used in any school. The exercises given in the use of wands, Indian clubs and dumbbells are suitable for drills in school work. In gymnastic and playground games the following are considered: Baseball, basketball, volley ball, indoor baseball, captain ball and numerous other schoolyard games, including track and field sports. The work in folk games consists of ring games, with music, for the elementary grades and of national folk games for older groups. Under the head of athletics come discussions of the history of the movement, ideals in playing and the value of competition. Mr. Williams has also helped to organize track meets for the juniors on the lower peninsula of Virginia. He has succeeded, too, in bringing into the Hampton gymnasium for work some of the boys' clubs of the neighborhood. Through athletics Mr. Williams has helped to teach many, many boys that irregular living does not pay, that physical tenure is important, that health giving recreation for communities is AND THEY ARE SHOWING A MIGHTY FINELINE OF WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S SHOES TOO Shoes are up!

Mr. Williams in a recent article in the Southern Workman wisely said: "Athletics tend to use the surplus energy of young men and women. They promote a spirit of loyalty that cannot be so well developed otherwise. But in order that they may do the greatest good they must exist for the student and not serve solely to advertise the school. The object of their maintenance in any school must be one of service in developing health, strength and vitality and in promoting wholesome recreation. Athletics as we have them today can be used as a powerful social force. They can be used in developing a higher social morality or a lower one by the standards set in the collegio games which are witnessed by hundreds and thousands of youth each year. "One of the great problems confronting the American people today is that of wholesome recreation, and it is indeed serious with the Negro. To realize its importance one has only to notice how and where the youth of the Negro race are spending their hours of recreation, both in the cities and in rural districts. The object of this great athletic movement that is sweeping over our land is an earnest effort to meet, at least in part, this demand for diversion. Our schools and colleges can do an inestimable good if they encourage the great mass of the youth to participate in such games and pastimes as will develop the mainly virtues of courage, endurance, unselfishness, heroism, patience and nobility of soul." THE LABOR PROBLEM SOUTH. Shortage of Colored Labbrers at Birmingham, Ala., Causes Anxiety. The demand for the services of colored men in various sections of the country is increasing. At Birmingham, Ala., recently it was stated that there was a serious shortage of colored laborers in Birmingham and vicinity due to the fact that the colored people are leaving the south at the rate of nearly 100 per day for the north, southwest and parts of Virginia and Kentucky. Among the many reasons given for this great exodus of the colored people are lack of protection from mob violence, poor wages, disfranchisement, attempted segregation in farm employment, segregation in cities and on all public convenances and almost nothing for their farm produce. The whole matter of treatment of colored citizens in most every southern state is ridiculous. If a colored person wants to buy a railroad or torrybelt ticket he is served at a separate window. If he enters a jimrow car and all the seats in the coach for white people are taken and a white person comes into the jimrow coach the colored person is forced to give up his seat. If he resists he is ejected from the car or arrested and turned over to the police at the next station. These and other outrages are some of the reasons why the colored people are leaving the south at every opportunity which presents itself for their doing so. Now Lookout. When a cold hangs on as often happens, or when you have hardly gotten over one cold before you contract another, lookout for you are liable to contract some very serious disease.

The insects also cut into numerous articles stored on damp wooden shelves or on der conditions otherwise attractive to them. Articles attacked in this way include books, documents, objects made of pasteboard or wood pulp, cloth, clothing, leather products and food substances. Termites live in colonies in dead stumps or in other decaying wood and enter the woodwork of buildings underground where timber is in contact with the soil or through cracks in concrete. They often destroy large portions of the interior of pillars and, other wooden members without giving any indication of their presence. When termites are found to be present it is usually through notching the annual emergence of the flying members of the colony at swarming time in the spring. The place of emergence should be noted, as this indicates the approximate location of the infested timbers. The presence of small branching tubes of earth on stone or metal, serving as passageways to wood, may be another indication that termites are at work in a building. Either preventive or combative measures may be taken against the inroads of terrorism. In all new building operations care should be taken that no untreated timber is in contact with the ground or is set in wet concrete. The latter condition is not a protection, since the concrete often cracks, and the insects may gain entrance through the crevices. If wood must be placed in contact with the earth, only timber treated with some such substance as Naofar creosote should be used. Cellar floors of concrete should join the walls in a curve to guard against cracks. If buildings are constructed without cellars the wooden flooring should be raised well above the ground. If termites are discovered in wood work it will be necessary usually to remove the damaged timbers and replace them by stone or brick work or treated wood. The ground at the approximate entrance passage of the insects and any earth tubes discovered should be drenched with kerosene oil. Infested timbers also may be drenched with the oil. ```markdown ``` Termites are especially likely to attack the wood of greenhouses, where warmth and moisture are the rule. Steps similar to those described for other buildings should be adopted to rid infested greenhouses of the insects. Supports for flower benches may be sawn off near the ground and made to rest on bricks or stone. If the termites are in the soil they may be killed in many instances by applications of carbon bisphide. Plants may be sprayed effectively with a 5 per cent solution of kerosene emulsion. In order to prevent attacks by termites on living trees the tree surgery method of treating scars and dead limbs and spots is recommended. Nursery stock may be attacked by termites if planted on recently cleared land. Such, locations therefore should be avoided. Care should be taken not to permit the roots of the young trees to dry out before planting, as such weakened stock is liable to attack. Damage to field crops by termites may be prevented by late fall plowing and crop rotation. CONTROL OF GRAIN INSECTS. Pennsylvania Experiment Station Furnishes Some Timely Advice. C. H. Hadley, Jr., in charge of ontology extension at the Pennsylvania State college school of agriculture and experiment station, reports considerable injury to grain in the bin, especially to seed wheat, this fall. The best way to prevent such injury, according to Mr. Hadley, is to fumigate the bin with carbon bisulphide. This chemical may usually be purchased at drug stores. The following directions for use are outlined: The bin should be made as nearly air tight as possible. About one pound of the sulphide is necessary for each 100 cubic feet of space. The liquid should be poured into one or more shallow dishes and placed on top of the grain. The bin should then be closed tightly and allowed to fumigate from twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The fumes will penetrate the grain, killing any insects present. If the grain in the bin is quite deep it is a good plan to insert pieces of gas pipe, each with a stick inside, down into the grain at various points. The stick is then withdrawn and about one-fourth pint of the carbon bisulphide poured into the pipe. Carbon bisulphide is inflammable; hence it is absolutely necessary to keep lighted cigars, latters, etc., well away from the bulbing in which fumigation is taking place. One should not inhale the fumes of the chemical, as they may cause sickness. Provided fumigation is not continued longer than forty-eight hours the germinating quality of the grain will not be infused. A Trap Nost. This is an illustration of a trap nest, not a guillotine. It is designed to help the poultry breeder to find out his good layers and to keep pedigrees. It is very simple. It may be attached to the under side of the dropping board, with the front facing the pen and arranged so that it can be easily removed. The dropping board will then be the roof of the nest. The rear of nest may be of wire for the sake of ventilation. If the nest is placed on the wall, slats or wire should be inserted from the front of the nest ```markdown ``` to the wall at a sharp angle to prevent the hen from roosting on the nest. When she outers the nest the hen's back raises the door, which releases the catch and allows the door to shut. The catch should be set so that its edge just holds the door, the position being regulated by a screw or nail at the lower inside edge of the catch. A washer on the screw will prevent it from sticking. The guard around the catch holds the nesting material away. The nest should be visited frequently to release the hen. - Popular Science Monthly.

Brown who came to this city about six months ago from New York City has recently opened at 1014 Church street an art studio, where he will conduct a class in art paintings and where he is engaged in the same work for which he has a natural adaptation. Mr. Brown was born in Indiana but was born of his youth in West Virginia, where he went to school and practiced his art among the beautiful hills of that state. He devoted most of his time painting landscape scenes and how successful he was is borne out in the fact that his work, when put on exhibition in New York, commanded the attention and respect of the best artists and art critics of that great metropolis. Among those who took a personal interest in Mr. Brown was George Deforest. He was a decorative artist, who encouraged him to stick to his study and production of art and assisted him materially with his work. The New York Times in 1912 published a half-page illustrated write-up in which it praised his work in the highest terms. Other leading metropolitan newspapers and magazines have given his work signal mention, not because Mr. Brown sought them out and paid them for their flattery, but because they had seen his work on exhibition and considered it of exceptional merit. W. Rothenstien has said of him: "He has a very precious gift—a vision all his own of nature which has a touching quality of beauty." The New York Times said of him: "Although he lives apparently for his art, it does not fill all the corners of Richard Brown's heart. He cares deeply, too, for his race, and he thinks much of its present persecution and its possession of excess, especially along the lines of art." Other art lovers and critics have paid eloquent tributes to him as an artist of ability and great promise. He is a graduate of the Charleston, W. Va. Institute and also finished the course in house and sign painting as taught in that school. He completed his art studies in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and National Academy of Design of New York, the foremost institutions of their kind in this country. He was awarded the Bronze medal for antique drawing by the National PALACE THEATRE The South's Best Moving Picture Theatre For the Accommodation of Colored People Children, 5 Cts ADMISSION Adults 10 Cts A Mile A Minute Motor Series in 12 Episodes featuring CHURCH STREET The South's Best Moving Picture Children, 5 Cts Special Fea SATURDAY The Grip of Evil Greatest Pathe Serial Featuring Jackie Saunders Roland Bottomly Manhattan ..

Reid.) Roanoke, Va.—Last Thursday, November 9th, the trustees, officers and friends of the Burrell Memorial Hospital Association by appointment Reed M. Ealy of Riordan and on how to conduct a campaign to raise money. Rev. Davis has been very successful in raising large sums of money for charitable institutions both in Richmond and Portsmouth, where he was located for five years. He outlined his plans in detail for raising money, taking much pleasure to see that each one was thoroughly understood by those present. At the conclusion of his lecture, a motion was passed to adopt the plans which he had given, as the trustees and managers are preparing for the campaign to raise money for the hospitals. The services of Rev. Davis were secured and he will soon return to Roanoke, to begin the campaign. The Burrell Memorial Hospital is a most worthy institution, in fact, it is positive necessity for the colored people and it is their duty to rally to its support and help make it what its trustees desire it to be. Much credit should be given those who have labored so faithfully for the success of the hospital from its organization up to the present time; and the amount of professional service which has been rendered through the institution, has more than justified them for the efforts which they have made. At present, the hospital is badly in need of funds and since Rev. Davis has so kindly consented to give his services, in the great campaign which will be launched in a few days and last until Thanksgiving, is the duty of the trustees to make this campaign a success. Our white friends have already given liberally when asked, and have shown unmistakable inclinations to help in the future, this being true, let each one of us join hands and make a sacrifice to help support so worthy an institution as the Burrell Memorial Hospital.
