NO.10 STAND AGAINST LYNCHING GOVERNOR MANNING AND PROMINENT CITIZENS OF SOUTH CAROLINA PROBING MOB-MURDER OF ANTHONY CRAWFORD —LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE FORMED. New York, Nov. 22.—Governor Richard L. Manning, of South Carolina, as a result of the recent lynching of Anthony Crawford, at Abbeville, has taken a stand which promises to clear the name of his State of the stigma which attached to it during the administration of his predecessor, the notorious Code Disease. Governor Manning, in a statement given out to the press on the day before election, says: "I was out of the State when the Abbeville lynching occurred. As soon as I learned of it I called Solider R. A. Cooper and solicited H. M. Burts of Caronner to the office and called on Caronner F. W. K. Nanso of Abbeville County to comply with the law and furnish me with a copy of the testimony taken at the coroner's inquest. I found that the coroner held an insult, but took no testimony. "Solettor Cooper and Sheriff Burts came to my office and I requested them to secure the names of all parties connected with the affair, those who took part in the whipping, in the taking of the Negro from the jail, in the lynching, and all those who were at the meeting reported to have been held on the following Monday. I have requested Sollettor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to make a complete investigation of the whole matter and get the names of all parties concerned and to swear out warrants and arrest them. "I intend to do everything in my power to uphold the law and let the offenders know that such acts will not be tolerated, and that those guilty of violating the law must suffer for it. I have requested Sollettor Cooper as the State's representative and Sheriff Burts as the highest peace officer in the county, to leave no stone unturned in order to vindicate the law and all the powers of the governor's office are at their disposal in bringing the guilty ones to justice." The lynching referred to occurred on October 21 in Abbeyville, S. C. On Monday a meeting was called in the Abbeyville courthouse at which it was decided to order the sixteen sons and daughters of Crawford and their families to abandon their $20,000 home and get out of the State by November 15. After the meeting this mob proceeded to close up all the Negro shops in Abbeyville. The Columbia State, in a powerful editorial, pointed out that in view of the exodus of Negro labor from the South to northern industrial fields and the approach of the bill wewell, South Carolina's problem was to keep her cloaked men instead of serving notice on them that no matter how industrious or successful they might be, their case was absolutely hopeless. It so convinced the business men of Abbeville that they had lynched their own pocket-books, that on November 6 another meeting was held in the court-house at which the following resolutions were unanimously passed: "We, the citizens of the city of Abbeville, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby express in unqualified terms our disapproval of the recent violent acts of certain persons committed in our community, and the spirit of lawlessness that seems rife in the county, resulting in continued acts of lawlessness it is. "Resolved: That the Sheriff of Abbeville County, the Mayor of Abbeville, the Police Force, and every officer of the county and city, be urged to use every effort to enforce the law and to protect the citizens of the town and county regardless of condition or color. "Itsolved Further: That we do hereby pledge ourselves as individuals to give to the officers of the law our physical support in maintaining the law. "Resolved Further: That if it be necessary to carry out this determination that the aid of the State and Federal Government be called in order that every citizen may enjoy his rights under the constitution. "Resolved Further: That a committee with Capt. J. L. Perrin as chairman, be appointed for the purpose of ascertaining what can be done towards the organization of a local military company for the protection of the citizens of this county and for maintaining order in our midst. That this committee be empowered to act in the premises. "Resolved Further: That every citizen of the town of Abhoville be assured the protection of the men of this meeting as long as he obeys the laws of the State, and pursues only his own legitimate business. "Resolved Further: That a meeting of the law-abiding citizens of Abboville County be called to meet in this Court House on next Monday at noon to perfect an organization for enforcing law and order in this county, and that every community in the county be represented at this meeting, and that steps be taken to show to the people of the State and United States that the man of Abboville County will defend the law, and protect the citizens of the commonwealth in the en- The Journal and Guide Afro-Canadian Battalion, Decendants of American Slaves, Enlisted in the British Army [A group of soldiers in uniform, posed in a large formation, with many faces visible.] AFRO-CANADIAN BATTALION JOINS BRITISH ARMY Ontario Negroes Other Troops To Aid Adopted Country—Descendants London, Ont.—The Afro-Canadians of this province have offered to raise men to aid Canada in the war, and the offer has been accepted by the Government. The first battalion to be raised will be engaged chiefly on railway and road construction back of the diving line, upon the work depending a great deal of an army's success. This battalion, known as the No. 2 Construction battalion, has non-commissioned colored officers, doctors and chaplains. A few white civil engineers are in command. Slightly over half a century ago hundreds of Negroes, escaping from slavery in the United States, found welcoming haven in the Dominion of Canada. Particularly to Ontario Province did they and their way, in view of its nearness to the American border and to the fact that it was one of the best settled of the then very new Dominion. The Canadian pioneers were particularly anti-slavery, and welcomed the slaves warmly, giving them shelter, food and clothing, and finding work for them in the various communities. In the course of a few years an native "underground route" of getting into Canada was put into effect, and until after the Civil War many hundreds of slaves made their way to Canada. From these peoples settling on farms and in the new growing cities of the period there came, in the course of time, a second generation of Canad-ian-born colored people, who took to themselves the name Afro-Canadians. Given the benefit of equal rights and education on the same footing as the whites, the second generation was far removed, and much superior intellectually, to their escaped slave fathers and mothers. Many of them became doctors, lawyers and preachers. joyment of all rights guaranteed by the law." At the meeting on November 13 the above resolutions were endorsed by prominent citizens from all parts of the county, and a committee of twelve men are to be appointed, "who shall have for their duties the furtherance of the ends sought by the meeting, by taking up with the citizens of the county the matters discussed and understanding between the people of the change, and the observance of the laws of the land." As a further guarantee that the Crawford family is to be defended in their right to live in South Carolina and enjoy the property accumulated by three generations, Governor Manning has written Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, vice-president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as follow: "I realize the gravity of this offense and am determined to do everything in my power to bring the offenders to Justice. I have called on the Sheriff of Abbeville County to take the necessary steps to prevent any unlawful action with regard to the expulsion of an officer." "I am giving serious consideration to this matter with a view to making recommendations to the Legislature, so as to be able to deal with such conditions when view arrest." NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. DECEMBER 2, 1916 SYNDICATE FORMED TO ERECT CASKET FACTORY Colored Undertakers of North Carolina Form Organization For Opening $25,000 Plant. (Special to Journal and Guide). Greensboro, N. C.—The colored undertakers of this state and other business men plan to erect a $25,000 casket factory and embuilding school. At a meeting held at Wilson, November 20, a company was formed and plans perfected for the erection of a plant that would employ from fifty to a hundred Negroes. A. L. Carpett of this city, who has promoted the project, states there are over 1,500 colored undertakers in the United States and during his six years as national organizer for the National Association of Colored undertakers he succeeded in organizing them into state and district associations and while it is planned to place a factory in this state it is also planned to place a supply house in the center of each of these state and district associations. The Chamber of Commerce of Payetteville and Durham are interested in securing the plant for their cities. However, Garrett hopes to see it located in this city, not only because he believes it to be the most logical location, but as the colored people of this city are at least a small factor in its developing, it will aid them in their part. Mr. Forrester, Secretary Chamber of Commerce, and Mr. Ettinger, the chairman of Industrial Board, are cooperating with him to that effect. A committee appointed at the Wilson meeting will decide the location early in December. Those concerned are: J. C. Scarbrough, Durham, president; Sam Short, Greenville, 1st vice-president; W. P. Roberson, Charlotte, 2nd vice-president; A. L. Garrett, Greenville, secretary-manager; Thos. H. McNeil, Forsyth, Greenville. Board of Directors: J. C. Scarbrough, A. L. Garrett, Haywood Sutton, C. E.

II. Hamilton.) Asheville, N. C.—The schools of Asheville, Buncombe County, and Henderson County gave a school fair at the Y. M. I. and Court House Thursday and Friday, November 23 and 24, which was a grand success. The exhibits were at the Y. M. I. and Educational Rally at the Court House Thursday evening, at 8 p. m. The meeting was called to order by Prof. W. S. Lee, principal of Catholic Hill High School. Prayer was led by C. B. Dusenbury, pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church. Song by Catholic Hill School, "Lord I want to be a man," poem from Dumbar by J. H. Millet, pastor of Catholic Hill School, "Swanee River." After which Prof. Lee introduced the first speaker, Dr. C. T. Schaoffer. Time and space will not allow us to justice to Dr. Schaffer's speech, but will allow us to the most important things he spoke of. His subject was education. Education of the head, the hand and the heart. He told of the opportunities held out for the colored man in the South, saying that the white man and the colored man should live in harmony on a basis of mutual usefulness. He said the colored children must be taught to respect the white children, in order to demand the respect of the white children; that the South was the one to ergo the before the drom must be taught the thing that would make this home happy by doing the things that are right in the sight of God and in the sight of man. There were many other things which we have not space to write. His speech was followed by a song by the Hill Street School, "Peter on the Sea," after which Prof. Lee asked Mr. D. Hiden Ramsey, Commissioner of Public Safety, to introduce Judge Murphy, chairman of the Board of Education. Mr. Ramsey said he could not refrain from commenting on what Dr. Schaeffer said and that it was one of the best songs he heard and that the singing was just fine and that he was proud of the leaders of the colored race in Asheville, naming most of them. Judge Murphy arose and asked to be permitted to ask Judge T. A. Jones, who had recently been elected as Senator of the State from this district to say a few words, which was granted. Judge Jones came forward and said that he did not come to make a speech, but came to hear those colored people sing. And did not think that Dr. Schaeffer had left anything for him or Judge Murphy either to say, but he was always glad to have a chance to say something to his good friends. He said: "I am going to Ralston. Help make a law that will benefit my race and your race, for what is good for my race is good for your race, and what is bad for your race is bad for my race." He said that the Negro was the most kind and sympathetic race in the world under adverse circumstances. As an example he referred to what he saw on a street car a few nights ago. Said he was on a car that was crowded with both white and colored people, and the car stopped to take on some white ladies, and the white man kept the cars while the Negro men got up and offered the white ladies their seats. He closed his remarks by saying to the Negro to get education, character and money by houses and the white men of the South will all stand ready to lend a helping hand. Judge Jones is one of the best criminal lawyers in Western North Carolina, and is always ready to help the Negro that tries to make something of himself, and is at home when he is talking to a colored gathering or pleading to a white jury in defense of a colored man. Judge J. D. Murphy, who was the next speaker, began by saying that he felt happy. He referred to Dr. Schaeffer's address as being one of the best he had ever heard on education. He said that Asheville needed more men like Dr. Schaeffer, Lee, Dusenbury, Dr. Walker, and referred to Mrs. Lee as Hester Ford Lee whom he had known ever since he had been in Asheville, as being one of the most respected color men, ever knew, and they are following the same path. In an unnamed leader, Booker T. Washington, who was the greatest Negro tint ever lived. He also referred to the late J. C. Price, whom he had had the pleasure of meeting in his day, as being a great and powerful leader of the Negro race. He said that the colored people of the South may be congruated upon what is being done for them and what they are doing for themselves at Hampton, Tuskegee, and near home at the A. & T. Greensboro, Livingstone at Salisbury, and other places he had visited in the South. There was a good number of white people present who seemed to enjoy the singing of the old time Negro melodies. The Exhibits On entering the door of the Y. M.

NATIONAL LEAGUE ON URBAN CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES WARNS THRIFTLESS ELEMENT THAT THEY ARE NOT WANTED. The Journal and Guide has received a letter from Mr. Eugene Kinkele Jones, executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes with headquarters in New York City, in which attention is called to the opportunities awaiting intelligent, efficient and honest, Negro labor at the North, and warning the indolent and inefficient of what they may expect from Northern employers and Northern people generally. We letter: The Migration of Negroes To The North. "Negroes in large numbers are leaving the South for the North. Many are securing good positions. Those that are sober and responsible and know how to give an honest day's toll are holding their positions. The indolent, inefficient men, however, are soon discharged, become a burden to the Northern, to the republican and humiliation to the colored citizens in communities where white people have not hitherto considered Negroes undesirable. "The National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes urges the right-thinking Negroes of the South and everywhere to discourage the wholesale migration of shiftless people between any two points, be they North or South. The League also warns Negroes against fraudulent agents who are collecting employment fees and who disappear soon afterwards." "Negro labor is in demand. Use that fact to improve the efficiency of that labor by demanding": First, better wages where the wages of colored men are below the current wage; second, better conditions so that your health will not be impaired; work you do; third, better living conditions both for yourself and family, so that your efficiency as a worker will not be impaired by living conditions which prevent proper rest and recreation to fit you for the day's labor, and base these demands on the needs of these things will make your work more efficient for yourself and to your employer and make better feeling between the races. "The National Urban League urges Negroes everywhere to take advantage of this great industrial opportunity to work in co-operation with their local leaders or South, for the improvement of conditions which will affect both races."

The Social development of the Negro and his present status in the body politic are interestingly treated in a series of chapters.

When it lies very long the nitrogen is transformed into ammonia and escapes. When it escapes it is gone forever.

From early March until August asparagus may now be found in many of the best markets, says T. H. Garekol in the Farm and Fireside. It is easily forced out of its regular season so as to make this vegetable available from the beginning of December through the entire winter. But this product of the gardener's skill is naturally quite expensive. The demand for this crop when marketed out of season is becoming greater, and the returns to the enterprising grower are excellent. I have found that the forcing may be done in any place where a temperature of 55 to 60 degrees may be maintained either in hotbed, pit, greenhouse or by any contrived plan where the temperature can be kept at the desired uniform degree. I use the roots from four or five year old plants for forcing, digging the roots late in the fall, with as much dirt adhering to the roots and crowns as possible. These roots are put in a cool cellar or any place where the temperature is but little above freezing. When thus stored the roots are covered with sand and soil to prevent their drying out and are kept in this way until wanted for forcing. Forcing asparagus in hotbeds or other substitute for a greenhouse is rather costly, and there is much less trouble in securing a paying crop in the greenhouse. Where a greenhouse is used no better use of the space under the benches can be made than for forcing asparagus. The floor under the benches in my greenhouse is soil. I dig a pit about a foot deep and scatter four inches of good soil over the bottom, then set the clumps of asparagus roots close together, scatter a few inches of dry mellow soil between and over clumps and then water it thoroughly. I blanch the shoots by shutting off the light by use of burlap hung along the sides of the benches. There is now a tendency among the host judges of asparagus to prefer the unbleached asparagus or that which is only partly bleached. I also use boards placed against the posts to construct trenches in which the asparagus can be forced in addition to the trenches built under the benches. The first ten days after setting the roots should be kept rather cool—say at a temperature of 45 to 50 degrees—then change to 55 to 60 degrees, or even slightly higher in the daytime will be no detriment. Too heavy watering may do more harm than good. At least three or four weeks are required to develop the asparagus to cutting size, after which several cuttings may be made during a period of eight to ten weeks. In order to secure a succession of cutting throughout the winter, I plant reserve roots every three or four weeks after the first planting. Gardeners can easily try out this plan of fording asparagus out of season and thus learn just what the returns will be for them in their own particular market.

The viewpoint of farmers, preachers, landlords, teachers, merchants and bankers upon these subjects, based upon their actual experiences, will lend first hand information, which will be of immense value in reaching some conclusions as to methods. The conference of workers will be held in the assembly room of the Academic building, beginning Thursday morning, the 18th, at 9 o'clock, and will continue till 4 with an hour's intermission for lunch. The subjects for discussion in the morning are: "Health Improvement For Efficiency," "Food as a Factor In Health," "The National Health Week Movement as an Aid to Better Health Conditions." The entire afternoon session will be given over to a discussion of the control of preventable diseases. In connection with the workers' conference a special meeting will discuss the "Life and Conduct of Girls In Boarding Schools." Lady deans from fifty schools have been invited to take a part in this discussion. The Tuskegee institute choir will sing the old time spirituals and plantation melodies. Various national health organizations, the United States government, the Alabama state board of health and some of the largest insurance companies have been invited to send health exhibits for the conference. A special free clinic will be held at the John A. Andrew Memorial hospital during the two days' session, and many prominent specialists will be present to assist Dr. Kenney. Charts containing valuable information regarding crop, health and living conditions are being prepared by Mr. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, to be displayed in chapel. A unique exhibition will show how Tuskegee institute is solving its own health problem. An exhibition of corn and canned goods will be held in the frame building near the chapel. Prizes will be awarded as follows: For the best corn there will be three premiums of $5, $3 and $2; for the best canned goods also premiums of $5, $3 and $2.

When the 1916 football season has drifted into the easily dimmed and more easily forgotten past of sporting events; when things that are still unread from Time's unturned pages and football heroes of the past have had the nebulous haze of glory which encircles them dimmed a little more; even after managers of the various football teams shall have been terribly mangled in the terrible crush to claim championships the present year will not be devoid of its gridiron stars. But from among the vast horde of men who have chased the plgskin on gridirons from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast and from the gulf of Mexico to the great lakes there is one young athlete who must be hailed as the peer of any of the men who now occupy niches in the football hall of fame. Fred D. Pollard, a dusky skinned young American, halfback on the Brown team and particularly bright luminary of the Brumonian eleven, is the man. Practically single handed the young colored boy has beaten Yale and Harvard on successive afternoons on their own fields. He has been the backbone of the hammering attack which has brought Brown through a tough season with an unbroken string of victories. He plays football because he likes it, and his quiet department, grit and stamina, coupled with his remarkable ability, have forced crowds at both New Haven and Cambridge, sorrowful in defeat, to stand up and acclaim him as he left the field. Pollard is now in his second year at Brown, having matriculated there last year from Lane Technical high 19 FRED D. POLLARD. school, Chicago. It is said that before entering Brown Pollard went up and looked around Dartmouth, where his brother had played football some years ago. His mind was not made up on what school he would attend, although he had decided that it would be either Dartmouth or Brown. He finally decided on Brown, much to the sorrow of Yale and Harvard men, not to mention the sons of various other colleges. There is no munt that Pollard came to Brown through any persuasion, because of his athletic ability, and this is said because sometimes there have been hints of proselytizing in the case of other star athletes. Sure enough he played scholastic football, and played well, for three years while a student in Lane Tech, but he was not an outstanding star. He came to Brown unknown and made no talk of even trying for the football team. As a matter of fact, none of the coaches or men interested in football up at the Providence university knew that the quiet young colored boy knew anything about football. They did know that in his spare time he used to come out and watch the practice; but, then, pretty nearly every other student does the same thing. The first inkling the coaches had that he knew anything about the game was last year, a month after the practice season had started. One day Pollard came out to the field and asked the head coach if he might don a uniform and come out for practice. The coach asked Pollard if he had ever played the game, and Pollard told of his high school experience. As a result Pollard came out that day and every day thereafter and finished the season as one of the stars of the team. It is not all football and hurrah for Pollard. With him it is a case of dropping the flatiron to be dropped on the gridiron. You see, Pollard is working his way through college and earns the money for his expenses by running a little tailor shop. The work keeps him pretty busy, and now he has another colored student helping him. Of course it may be that his business has grown through his prowess as a football player, for who would not have his trousers pressed by a man who in a week's time can press both Yale and Harvard into the flatness of defeat?

Don't be in a hurry to mulch the strawberries, as the vines continue to grow until late in the fall. The last of November or the first of December is the proper time for mulching in Kansas, but don't neglect to do it then. Mulching is an essential to success in growing strawberries, points out Albert Dickens, professor of horticulture in the Kansas State Agricultural college. It not only insures clean fruit, but it aids in retaining moisture in the soil and assists in conserving fertility. Mulching is a protection against the alternate freezing and thawing so common in this state. This process is a serious menace to strawberry growing as it breaks off the many small feeding roots of the plants, thus destroying their source of nutrition and resulting in diminished crops and berries of poor quality. In fact, the plants are sometimes killed. Notice to Midwives and Nurses! Notice to Midwives and Nurses!

Mashville Office, Frost & Frost, Independent Life Building. Entered as Second-Class matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Virginia, under Act of March 3d, 1887. Saturday, December 2, 1916 A LIVE MUNICIPALITY. Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is a live twin-city. The yearly finished products from its factories amount to $45,000,000. There are $30,000,000 invested in factories and the annual payrolls of the industrial plants of the city amount to $6,000,000. From 1900 to 1915 Winston-Salem added to its factory capital $20,000,000. Looking for the reason for Winston-Salem's remarkable growth and prosperity we found it in the following statement made by a recent visitor to that city: "Winston-Salem has a bunch of mighty practical business men who are studying the plain questions of political economy and of human advancement, and trying to study these things without the prejudice of old tradition or of precedent. It is natural that these men should reach some novel conclusions. One of the novel conclusions has to deal with employees, and it is beailed down in the assertion that the factory or office that gets the most profitable results from operation is the one that makes a business of looking after the health and comfort of its workers." The business men of the town are probably the leaders, yet it may be said that the community is really doing the things that are done, backed by those who are financially interested in the efficiency that comes from surrounding the town with the best conditions. I would not say that our community is wholly free from altruistic motives for it is not," said Colonel Lulow. "We have our proper share of altruism and have our proper satisfaction in having our share. Yet we try to get at this thing from the cold-blooded viewpoint of materialism, for altruism also lays at its base, but materialism lays whole its results are good. Sentiment is not so good a stayer as business. We have worked it out that it is going to pay in computable figures if we make our town efficient. So we are going to make the town as efficient as all methods of physical and mental development can make possible. We are not going to have any slums because slums lower the efficiency of the people who live there and put a burden on the people. We are going to have a very man and woman lives in a very man and woman we can and that every child is amid pleasant surroundings as far as the physical condition of the home is concerned. "You get my idea? Winston-Salem, you have noticed, is trying to be a pleasing city in every quarter. We are not trying to build nice streets only in the vicinity of where Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Gray, Mr. Hanes or Mr. Chatham lives, but all over the two towns, because it pays. It pays me to have every man in Winston-Salem well housed, well fed, well cared for, and a happy, thrifty citizen. That kind of people have energy, have enthusiasm, have ability to do things. You notice a county will vote $100,000 bonds for good roads and think it has done a good job. It has, too. But we march up to the tax collector in our county each year and pay $100,000 for good roads and say nothing more about it. We do that year by year because we have here a thrifty, energetic population that is encouraged in its work, and in the confidence that what it does in public matters is done for its own welfare. "The city council, at a recent session appropriated $13,200 for aggressive public health work. We are improving health conditions as fast as scientific health conditions. I would be surprised if that does not mean more than anything else we have done here in a long time. But we are trying to make our community the best community we can, for all of us. We are trying to promote superior civic fitness and to make our city the best in all the elements of civic equipment that conserve the health, happiness and efficiency of all its citizens." That is indeed a great sermon on city development. And when one has read it one does not wonder at the prosperity of a city that strives to abolish the slums because they lower the vitality of the people who live in them; that adopts measures to conserve the health of not only one element of its population but is careful to conserve the health of ALL its city A WORD TO OUR READERS.

Our readers, and in fact every thinking member of the race, should patronize the white business firms that advertise in this or any other colored newspaper. Such firms not only exercise good business judgment in the placing of their advertising, but display a spirit of reciprocity and invite racial co-operation for business advancement. Many of the white merchants and business people of Norfolk who get more than half of their trade from the colored population are not reciprocal. They do not give anything in return, not even their good will. They do not spend a dime with a colored enterprise if they know it, which is of course, a very narrow and selfish attitude for business people to take, and they should not be allowed to hold this attitude with impunity, and at the same time hold their colored trade. Some of these merchants do nothing to encourage the race along the lines of material progress. They are satisfied to receive into their cofers all the money they can get from the colored brother, but are unwilling to re-invest any of this money through channels which would benefit the race either directly or indirectly. They give to members of the race the most menial employment in their establishments, at low wages, with no chance of promotion or advancement. In short, their methods of dealing with members of the race are such as to forever keep them poor, ignorant and dependent. The Journal and Guide could name a number of firms that have been built up on Negro trade, but who insist upon maintaining the attitude we have outlined towards the race. The merchants and business people who patronize the advertising columns of race journals show that they have more than a selfish interest in the race. Their action testifies to their appreciation of colored patronage and shows a willingness upon their part to encourage the race along all lines of worthy endeavor. Where they refuse to do so is simon pure evidence that they have no more interest in the colored brother than to get the coins from his pocketbook, and, they know the colored brother is asleep and does not realize the grim mistake he is making by spending all of his money with them. Charity begins at home. Colored people who have money to spend should discriminate as to those with whom they trade. They should spend their money with white merchants who in return spend some of their money with race enterprises. Until members of the race learn to do this they will always be disrespected, disregarded, Jim Crowed, segregated and treated with every inhuman injustice. They can never expect, as a race, to amount to anything in the commercial world and will always be servants of servants. The race needs healthy commercial enterprises that will give employment to its young men and women, but as long as they turn all of their earnings into the coffers of undeserving white enterprises that show in no way their appreciation, they will never be blessed with these things which God intended for them to have. You cannot go wrong by patronizing the merchants and business firms that advertise in this paper. They are your friends. They will not only give you a square deal inside their stores but they will give you a square deal on the outside. Colored men and women, wake up!—to your opportunities and possibilities as a race. zens; that builds good streets not merely in the sections where the rich and influential live, but also in the sections where the poor and the working classes live. We know a city, and we don't have to call its name to identify it, that does just exactly the opposite of what Winston-Salem does for its citizens, and for that reason has more bonded debt than the whole State of North Carolina, and is insolvent as compared with other cities in its own State. "Every home should have its collection of Negro books of poetry, fiction, history and religion—not one book, but many, in order that it may have its proper atmosphere of racial self-respect, which is the foundation of racial progress." The bibliography of Negro writers embraces practically every phase of literary work. History, biography education, religion, sociology, fiction poetry, etc. are represented by a long list of authors. Only a few, however THE BUY-A-BOOK MOVEMENT. Dr. R. R. Wright, editor of the Christian Recorder, has started a buy-a-book movement, the object of which is to stimulate interest in Negro literature. In connection with a select list which Dr. Wright has compiled, and which he is sending out for the convenience of those who wish to join in the movement, he says: "That Negro children need to read books which tell of the more hopeful side of their race life, and that Negro men and women need the same, is no longer open to debate. "No people that does not know and love its own history, enjoy its own literature, reverence its own heroes, has ever amounted to much. Can the Negro hope to be an exception?" "The fact that the public schools do not give our children courses in Negro history and literature is being recognized by educators throughout our Nation as a weak point in Negro education, and in many institutions supplemental work is done in order to make up for this deficiency. "To be strong the Negro child must know and love the heroes of the Negro race from Crispus Attacks to the gallant Tenth Cavalry at Carrizal. "He must know the past achievements of the race in Africa and America. "He must imbibe the ideals which the music and poetry of the race are designed to inspire. "He must see the pictures of men and women of like hue as himself, so that acting upon the maxim of what black man has done black man can do, he may be nerved to greater accomplishments. by thinking member of the race, less firms that advertise in this.

The bibliography of Negro writers embraces practically every phase of literary work. History, biography, education, religion, sociology, fiction, poetry, etc., are represented by a long list of authors. Only a few, however, have managed to get their books widely read. The works of Dunbar, Washington, DuBois, Wheatly, Brawley, Webster Davis, Pickens and a few others are found in nearly every well equipped library, but there are hundreds of other authors whose works are equally meritorious, but who happen to be not so well known, because they have not had the advantage of position and consequent prestige to aid them in advertising their books. Dr. Wright's plan should give a decided impetus to Negro literature. PUBLIC OPINION Fred Pollard. The football season has brought forward one great and particular star, and he is Fred Pollard, the halfback on the Brown University team. It is a singular thing how, in spite of obstacles and handicaps, some colored student in one of the great universities rises up each two or three years and becomes the center of all eyes in the athletic world. There have been many, and now comes Pollard to keep up the long line. The press hails Pollard as the greatest halfback in the country. In the game on last Saturday in which Brown beat Harvard 21 to 0, Pollard's play was acknowledged as marvelous. The Age takes off its hat to Mr. Pollard, and wishes him a long career and still greater victories on the gridiron, and in the struggle of life. Mr. Pollard is doing a very great deal to help solve the race problem—New York Age. Salvation Vin Recreation.

Twenty-nine parishes have frequent supervised dances, in some cases with employed teachers. Sixteen parishes have classes in calisthenics. Fifteen own stereopticons and have frequent lantern lectures. Four have motion pictures. One has a video report reported by the commission are these: Dramatic entertainments (reported by all parishes). Boy Scout patrols, military drill, baseball teams, summer camps and outings, shuffleboard, bowling alleys, pool and billiard tables, bathing facilities, reading and game rooms, social gatherings of parishioners and others, kindergarteners, outdoor playgrounds, tennis courts.—Ohio State Journal. Giving The Farm A Name. (By F. H. Cardozo, Director of Agriculture, Florida State College, Tallahassee, Florida.) I wish every Negro farmer could read the October issue of the Ladies' Home Journal, but since that is not likely to be the case, I will quote the following small paragraph, "Naming the Farm." The American farmer and his wife are coming to appreciate the importance of naming the farm. Indiana has recognized the value of farm names to the extent of providing a law for their registration, and the State authorities have had published a booklet on naming the farm, which includes a copy of the law and more than eight hundred suggestions for names. Each of the bills would suit your farm. The booklet is free to residents of Indiana, and available for non-residents at five cents a copy. Request for it may be made as follows: Ladies' Home Journal, Washington, D. C. Enclose also, one two-cent stamp. It is the hardest thing in the world to try to argue or plaint with a prosperous farmer, average variety, that he should give his whole farm place a name, just as he does his horse or cow. You can hear frequently such talk as "over there on the old Smith place," or, "the Lake Jackson place is now sold," etc., and even the poor sort of naming the particular farm or plantation in question, is due to their long connection with it as a laborer, perhaps, or because the white owner compelled the name to be used. I have yet to see more than two Negro farmers, who had the wisdom, practical foresight in a business way, and the aesthetic sense to give his home farm a beautiful, suggestive name. But I have seen a comparatively large number of prosperous white farmers who have adorned their rural homes with a most appropriate name or title. I hope the educated farmers at "Baldwin Farms" near Tuskegee, will take the lead in this matter and show their pride and self-respect, by having painted on a neat sign board, not too large, nor too small, hanging on the front fence somewhere, some such pretty and thoughtful name, as Greenfield, Cloverdale, Hillview, Berkshire Heights, Breezy Ranch, Woodland Farm, Sunshine Farm, Evergreen, Leigher Road, Big Springs, Pleasant Grove, Farm, Seven Oaks, Sunny Slope, Poorland Farm, Forest Home, Pine Ridge, Riverside, East View, Bee Hive Farm, Shadysides, Fairview, Green Hill, Jersey Land, Pecan Place, Valley Home Farm, Rocky Point, Bungalow Farm, Greaseside, Cedar Lane, Coolfont, High-Wood, Roselands, Sunset Farm, Lone Tree, Plainfield, etc., etc.—The Negro Farmer. Negro Trooper of Tenth Cavalry to Receive Spingarm Medal. Peter Bigstaff, the Negro Trooper of the Tenth U. S. Cavalry, whose name has just been learned is to receive the Spingarm Medal this year. The Trooper fought side by side with Lieut. Adair until he fell mortally wounded and rolled into the ditch below. Here he held his head above the water until the last breath left the body. He then made his way, with heavy heart, to a place of safety. Pete has been promoted to Sergeant. Comments Upon Men and Matters by a Close Observer. Hot Springs, Ark.—I write this week with fear and trembling. My mouth is about to jump out of my heart, and the least thing would make me faint and perhaps have a fit. It because of the hot Springs, and you wonder why all of this fear should come over me in Hot Springs. Have you been here? If you have not then you don't understand all of this, and if you have been here then you can see for yourself just what I am driving about and what I am saying to the world, or at least a part of it at any rite. Do you know who made this world? If not then I don't, but the whole of the people know that the Lord God of Heaven made the world, and then I think he must have made the heaven and then the hot place too. I am of the opinion that I am now near the hot place, because they have big hills all around the town, and they get hot water right out of the hills. It seems to flow freely all the time. Now I want to know what it is that keeps that water hot, unless it is not fire from the home of the devil, and I fear that some of my friends who have gone to that place of perpetual summer are helping to keep the water hot. I do not mean to say that this is true, but it feels mighty funny to me, and I am not going to do too much talk about it. Suppose that fire should break out then where would I be? I am going to get away from here as soon as possible. Perhaps you want to know just what I am doing here, and since you want to know I will have to tell you, so you listen. I heard that the Baptist State Convention was going to meet here, and I considered that I should come down and see them. I was received by B.E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, also president of the Arkansas Baptist Convention. Well I am here and believe me they have had a great big convention here. Last week before coming here I was in Osceola, Ark., with Bishop J. M. Conner, who is in charge of the work of the African Methodist Church in this state and in Oklahoma. He is a man who has started at the bottom and worked his way to the top, and now he is serving in his own state, and presiding over the men who worked side by side with him, some of them fought him when he took up for higher things. They spoke about him, and wrote about him, but he just went right on. He studied hard, making every day count for something higher. When he took a high seat there was not one who could hold the light for him. Now he is bishop and seemingly has forgotten the men who fought him and he is treating all men alike. He is giving them just what they can make. Good for him. Rev. V. M. Townsend, presiding elder of the Little Rock district, is acting as private secretary to Bishop Conner, and he is making a good secretary. Of course, there will be another general conference in this country, and should be brought to the front such as Dr. W. W. Dugleton, of Georgia; W. Sampson Brooks, of Wichita, Kans.; A. H. Hill of Pine Bluff. Ark.; A. L. Gaines, D. D., of Baltimore. But then there will be time enough for this. I tell you this is a moving world, and the people are getting united out of it. Lives are being united each day of the year, and it is hard to tell just where all of this will end. Marriage is not a failure, and when you see two young people uniting, just give them kind word and tell them to stick together until the end of time. This is what I am going to ask this week to Miss Lydia Vivian Moore, and Edward Merrick, both of Durham, N. C., and both coming from the best families. I note that they are to be married if it is not over already. Both of these young people belong to officials of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. The father of the bride is secretary, and treasurer, while the groom's father is the president, and all well known. Please do well, because they have the temple before them. While in Montana I had the pleasure of dropping in on Dr. W. T. Vernon, who is now pastor of Avery Chapel, A. M. E. Church and you know one of the most prominent figures in the race today. I say "you know," because I believe you do. He has been before America as but few men of our race have been. He has held the position that was once held by B. K. Bruce, Judson Lyons and J. C. Napier. His name was placed on all the money bills to make them worthwhile in this country for use. He held his position and held it well. He was succeeded by Hom. J. C. Napier, and now he is preaching the word. In his church work, he is making suggestions, and has turned out to be one of the most pastors in the A. M. E. connection. Dr. Vernon has seen something of the world. He is a native of Missouri, and his mother is now down in Memphis with him. I don't know just how long she is to be there, but I do know that Dr. Vernon and his wife are both attentive to her and she is real happy. I am sure that that mother must be proud of her son. Boys in this age should strive to make their mothers happy in their old days, and this can be done by making each day count for something. Each one of them can make good, and each one can be a real Christian gentleman. These things, because of his life and his inclinations. There are but few things to encourage the boys of our race, especially in the South. They are told that the higher positions are for white boys and white men and they must stand aside. The door of hope is often closed in their faces, and they are told by parents that they are not going to be anything in life. Now with all this before the boy is it surprising that he should fall? We must change things up, and when up to the vision of our boys and girls the door of hope. Let them look in and then tell them that there are better things ahead. It is not going to do and be this way all the time. I visited Morehouse College a few weeks ago in Atlanta, and saw that fine body of young men getting ready for life, and then I visited Union University, in Richmond and saw another big crowd, and then to Howe Institute, A. & M. College, Normal, Ala., the school at Dinwiddie, Virginia, the Arkansas Baptist College in Little Rock, I had to thank God for it all. I have said enough for this week. I am coming again to see you readers.

Dr. Elliott is more than ninety years of age and is the oldest colored physician in Co- Inmbus. Mrs. Elliott is in her seven- ties but looks fully thirty years young- er. The whole amount was paid in five, ten and twenty dollar bills and they remarked that they paid their subscription in full “we might not be here to pay it in installments.” When the subscription was announced, en- thusiasm was at a high pitch and tears were seen in the eyes of many as the workers shouted and sang.

NEGRO ILLUSTRATED NEWS. ‘New Paper Started In New York by Senobundu Okagoo Logemoh. ‘The Negro Ilustrated News, edited by © native African gentleman of fine culture and much perseverance, 8. Okagoo Logemoh of Sterra Leone, West Africa, is the latest candidate for public favor, and it is a very worthy and deserving candidate. It is devoted primarily to the fostoring of a better understanding vetween the Negroes of Africa, especially of the ‘west coast, who oro a commercial peo- ple, and those of the United States, and Its ambitious and patriotic editor Ig bending all bis energies In the direc- tlon of opening up trade relations be- tween the blacks of Africa and Amer- Kea. Le says there are magnificent. bust- ness opportunities In Attica for Ne- Kroes in America who have a working knowledge of business and the where- withal to make thelr knowledge Nnan- clully profitable. Mr. Logemoh Is a for- mer schoolteacher on Woe west const, a Christian gentleman and a cleut headed man of business. Te fs well connected tn his home elty and hns a reputation for probity, bus!- ness integrity and bonesty. He ts a sample of the type of men who aro the product of ahe educated African schoolmaster. Ile 4s modest, retiring, optimistic: for Lis race, indefatigable in big work and enthusiastic about the future of Africa. LHe wishes to get in touch with all Negroes throughout the couutry who believe, ag Le does, in the self redeeming power of Africa and the Africans. Tor these he has a message full of hope and encouragement. Waite Hen are exploiting Africa and profiting by it. Mr. Logemob believes that binck men in America in combl- netion with black men In Africa can accomplish wonders there commercial ly if once they get together and reach © working agreement for the mu- tunl benefit of the race and for each: other.

B. ‘Phe correct Ue af the book Is found tn verse 1, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” and it is the summing up and unfolding of all things coucern- dng Him and Iiis Kingdom. 1 tells of that which God gave Him to show anto us, and Tle sent it by Lis messen- ser unto His servant, John, [t docs seem most unkind to and rebellious against such a God and Father to turn away from such a book and refuse to read {t or refer to it, as many, eren amoug preachers, do. It was John's Uusiness, as it Is ours, to bear record of the Word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even though we should. bo banished for ft, as John was, or even Killed, as others were (i, 2, 9: vi, 9; Xi, 17). Ho fs nnd was and will be ever the samo Jesus Christ, the Son of God, whose golngs forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity; who ip the fulineas of time came as God man- Mfest in tho flesh, the Word made fest, and ts coming again to ect up His Kingdom on this earth (verses 4, 8; ‘Mic, v, 2, margin; Gal, fv, 4; T,Tim ill, 16; John 1, 14). The message con- cerming Him fs alwaya to every sin- ner the grace that saves and the peace which He bas purchased by His own blood (verso 4; chapter xxil, 21; Eph Ml, 13; Col, {, 20). The Spirit loves te bear witness to Him, and the seven Spirits suggest the perfect fullness of the power and testimony of the Splcit (verse 4; chapters til, 1; tv, 03 v, 6). Ho fs the falthful witness, called Faithful and True, and all Els words are trug and, faithful (verse 5; chapter Hl, 14; xx, 12; ssl, 6; SxU, 6). He ts the first Derotten of the dend, Christ tho first fruits (verse 5; Col, {, 18; I Cor. ‘XV, 23%. Because of His resurrection others have risen and others wil rise— they tat are Christ's ut Ts coming. He fg the Prince of the kings of the earth, King of kings and Lord of lords, and all kings shall fall down before lm, all mitions shall serve Dim (verso G; chapter xvil, 14; xix, 10; 1 ‘Tim. vi, 15; Ps, ixxil, 11). How.giort. ous Ho is nud will be! Does not your beart cry out, “Yea, He is altogether lovely; this Ig my Beloved, and this fs my Friend?" (Song v, 16.) ‘As Jobn thinks upon these things he by the Spirit breaks forth with the aseription, “Unto Him that loveth us and washed us from our sins in Bis own blood,” reminding vs of much we have so recently written in the lesson notes concerning all believers being washed, sanctifled, Justified ( Cor. vi, 12). In Jobn ‘sili, 10, Ho_sald, “Ho that ts washed is clean every whit" It tg our standing in Bim which ig perfect because of His come- Mness (Ezek, xvi, 14). ‘Then, ag to ou future, see tho wonders of His grace and glory in making us kings and priests unto God to reign in His king dom (terse 6; chapters v, 0, 10; xx, 6). “Bebold, He cometh with clouds’ (verse 7).

In the mountain valleys and along the streams in the plains nature has provided these ```markdown ``` THE WOOD LOT. wood lots. In many places, however, the farmer must plant and raise his wood. The wood lot is convenient in providing fuel, posts and wood for repairs. It may also serve as a windbreak and for shelter for stock. On light soils or on steep slopes the trees will bind the soil to prevent erosion. A wood lot needs proper protection from stock and fire and intelligent thinlings. After planting and cultivation during a few years, if the wood lot is of artificial origin, the work expended on it and the harvesting of the crops may be done in the winter when other work is not pressing. Besides the direct value of a wood lot in furnishing wood and shelter, its aesthetic value in improving the appearance of the farm and in furnishing recreation is of considerable importance in making life more worth living. Incidentally the well kept, properly located wood lot adds selling value to the farm out of all proportion to the cost of establishing or tending the grove. Misses Daisy Sykes and Vera Land left Wednesday for Washington, D. 6., to attend the Howard-Hampton game.

R. Gaines, pastor, last week and closed Sunday. The able and courteous Rev. Smith Howell presided. Mr. W. T. Howell kept the minutes; Mr. J. T. Reed and a few others did the talking and a very large delegation made the several reports and did the voting. The sessions were most harmonious and peaceful. The reports on Home and Foreign Missions were very interesting. Rev. Howell gave a very interesting talk, which awakened the delegates to a high degree of ornity and substantial action. This conference has grown very much within the last few years, spiritually, financially, numerically and intellectually. The Journal and Guide was very much in evidence. The reporter regrets that he could not spend a part of one afternoon with the cultured brethren. Motored To Edenton. The Criterian Jolly Club, of Edenton, N. C., gave one of its jolly dances last Wednesday night. And to which, very many of our younger set were invited. Several of them accepted and attended. Notwithstanding the downpour of rain and the muddy and sandy ronds, they went. At least, some of them did. The reporter heard that it was some kind of a prize contest between Edenton and Suffolk. Of course, perfectly natural, the Suffolkians wanted that dancing prize. But just what it was, no one seems to know. But they do know that some of them had to foot a part of the way back home, while others awaited the dexterous hands of the home-made chauffeurs to repair their several broken down automobiles. Some of those who went, and some of those who came back, wet-footed, say that they had the time of their lives—in the storm. And they found no prize to be won Some of those who were so fortunate to safely get back home are: Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Taylor, Mrs. Gracie Dilsworth, Mr. and Mrs. G. V. Tynes, Mr. and Mrs. Ashby B. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Tomey Cooke; Messrs. Garland Jones, J. J. Haggans, Ed. Gordon, John Ballard, Grady Backus, Romie Skeeter, Charley Phillips, Willie Barnes and a few others. And they all are readers of the Journal and Guide. They all say: "There is no place like home," on a stormy night. But there is some fun in motoring to Edenton, sometimes. Renewals.

Every fall we hear an increasing number of reports of pullet egg production being cut down by the fall molt. It is perhaps to be expected when we consider that better methods of breeding, early hatching and heavy feeding for which nearly every one is working all tend toward early maturity and production. It is natural for very early laying pullets to stop producing and go through a partial molt before cold weather. Aside from the natural tendency, the molt may be hastened by a sudden change of feed, care or environment. The fall molt may often be avoided by following a few simple rules. Avoid hatching out of season. March, April and May are best, the exact time depending on the breed. Provide free range during the entire season. Avoid rations containing an excess of protein. Sour milk is better than beef scrap. Do not attempt to hold pullets back; let them mature normally. Have the pullets in their winter quarters before production starts. Avoid any sudden change in feed, care or management after production begins.—Connecticut Station. Miss Clara Hodges was hostess for the Thimble and Needle Art Club Nov. 27th.
