Sumter, S. C.—Thanksgiving day was a memorable day for Morris College, Sumter, S. C. When friends from various parts of the State gathered to dedicate the beautiful new brick building erected at a cost of $20,000. A colored layman at Anderson, Mr. Henry McGowan, gave $500.00 to the building and the building is named in honor of this most liberal donor, Mr. Henry McGowan, who is a prosperous farmer, owning a fifty-acre farm valued at $1,500 besides several thousand dollars worth of town property, Mr. McGowan is regarded as one of the faithful. His forty years a member of the Baptist Church and also a faithful deacon is highly commended and his reward has been success, prosperity and wealth, which is a promise to the faithful. The College is in a growing and prospering condition under the principalship of Prof. J. J. Starks, and the attendance is very large. Dr. J. C. White of Columbia delivered the address for the occasion and people from far and near were present, including many distinguished visitors. Dr. C. C. Johnson of Aiken, S. C. Grand Master of Masons, assisted in laying the corner-stone. Many short addresses were made and they raised $600.00 at this meeting. I found conditions in the State a little more serious than in some sections I have traveled, yet with all of that I have been able to push my work. My visit to Darlington was a pleasant one, I had the pleasure to see more of the State than ever before. Since the trip was made by automobile I left Darlington as the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. Howard. We motored to Sumter which is about 40 miles, there we spent Thanksgiving day. Then I was favored with another trip to Columbia, Dr. C. C. Johnson, Rev. Brooks, Mr. Jackson and others motored from Aiken, S. C. to Sumter. This was a distance of 125 miles, a short stop was made in Camden and other points on the way. I noticed the flooded section. crossed the Wateree river on a flat which reminded me of the city of my State. I had a pleasant stay in the Capitol City. Sunday I visited the churches of Drs. J. C. White and J. J. Durham and I spotted at each church. Dr. White is constructing a new brick church at the cost of $50,000. Mr. Bell, who has charge of the North Carolina Mutual says this is one of the most prosperous fields of the State for insurance work. Friday, Dr. and Mrs. Atwell entertained me at dinner. The doctors are all doing me. I met them all and they made my stay very pleasant. Among them are: Drs. Goodwin, Goodson, Stephenson, Collins, Lewis, Johnson, Huggins, Chimpell, Evans and Daniels. Chapman. Mrs. Penn is secretary of the Grand Lodge of Good Samaritans. Mrs. Collins has a fine business also Mr. I. S. Leevy.

Y. M. C. A. Boys to Present Pageant Play. The boys had two splendid addresses delivered them Sunday at the Bible class, by Mr. J. H. McGrew, the State Secretary and Prof. M. C. Clifford, teacher in the Washington High School. After the class the boys escorted Prof. Clifford to the Washington steamer and wished him a bon voyage. This Tuesday the 19th the boys are to present a play pageant depicting the relative development of the Indian, Caucasian and the Negro. Only boys are used in the play and from the interest shown it bids fair to be a marked success. The play has its setting at Jamestown where the first slaves landed. It is here that the Negro makes a prophecy and that prophecy he keeps as will be shown in the last act. The pageant will be staged in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. XMAS BARGAINS AT MADDEN SHOE STORE Mr. M.

Xmas Gift Suggestions From Harfield's Xmas Gift Suggestions From Harfield's Many people are in a quandary right now as to the best and most convenient place to select their Christmas presents. To those us well as to all, Harfield's, at the corner of Church and Queen streets, wishes to announce a complete and varied line of suitable gift things, including jewelry, leather goods, trunks, bags, etc., guns, pistols, musical instruments, hubbardashery, clothing, shoes, and a great variety of useful and suitable articles for him or her, all at prices that are adjusted to the average man's purse. Mr. Harfield has a complete stock and invites the readers of this announcement to call and inspect his line before going elsewhere. Harfield's is also conveniently located, and shopping may be done there without the loss of so much time, or the disadvantage of hasty and unsatisfactory buying on account of the down town rush that always occurs just prior to the holidays. Remember, that at, Harfield's there is a suitable article for eper member of the family, including father, mother, brother or sister, as well as pretty gift things for wife or sweetheart. It will pay to call at Harfield's before spending your Christmas money. Mr. H. P. Randolph, who has been engaged in the shoe business in Church street for the past twenty-five years, most of this time between Charlotte and Freemason streets, at the store now occupied by Barrett & Hardy, is now manager for the Burt Shoe Store at 448 Main street, where he will be pleased to see his old friends and customers and can promise the same fair dealings and good values as in the past. The Burt store has an advertisement in this issue of the Journal and Guide to which your attention is invited. See Southall Bass, at the corner of Goff and Church streets, before having that prescription filled or buying those toilet requisites. He has the best line of drugs and toilet articles and will appreciate your patronage. Maybe you can select the suitable Christmas present there too. Try Bass. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, DECEMBER 16, 1916 GOVERNOR PRAISES NEGROES' LOYALTY No Hyphenated Americans Among Colored People He Declared In Y. M. C. A. Address. "You can be sure of one thing, that in your race there is no such thing as a hyphenated American," said Governor Stuart of Virginia, in his address at St. John's A. M. E. Church, last Tuesday night under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. At the outset of his remarks the Governor referred to the amicable relations existing in this State between the races and said that the question of the social relations of the races—white and black—had been adjusted happily to the entire satisfaction of both races. There was no doubt, he said, that the white people of the State recognized the value of the colored people to the State, as co-workers with them in developing the vast natural resources of the Old Dominion and making possible our present era of great prosperity. Noting the national colors displayed in the decorations for the occasion the Governor spoke feelingly of the Negro's loyalty and devotion to country and home. "If there is any doubt of the Negro's patriotism," he said, "we have only to remember San Juan Hill, for there it was the courage, the daintless courage, of a Negro regiment that saved the day and saved a regiment of white men." Governor Stuart said that in Virginia the colored people's rights to life, liberty and property were recognized and protected. He said that he wanted to see the race improve and develop useful citizens. His remarks were frequently interrupted as applauses when he rose to speak he given an ovation. Mr. Samuel L. Tucker, president of the Y. M. C. A. board of directors presided. The Governor was introduced by Dr. D. W. Byrd. BLACKSTONE. VA. BLACKSTONE. VA. (S. V: Brightforth.).

Carrington of Kenbridge, Va., was one among the visitors in our town last week. Mr. James Jackson returned home last week from Virginia Beach. Deacon Geo. Stokes is on the sick list. Mr. Richard Crawley, who died in Norfolk last week, was brought here for burial by the Masonic Lodge. Those who turned out with the body from Blackstone Lodge were: Rev. Ashburn, Dr. T. J.

WILL CASH XMAS CHECKS The Standard Shoe Store, at 239 Church street, announces elsewhere in this paper that it will cash Christmas savings checks free of charge and without requiring one to make a purchase. This is very generous on the part of the Standard and is quite an accommodation to those who hold Christmas checks. It is often very inconvenient to get the checks cashed and no doubt many will take advantage of the Standard's kind offer. DR. MOSS AT BANK ST. CHURCH SUNDAY Rev. W. M. Moss, D. D., former pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church, this city, and now pastor of Concord Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., will fill the pulpit at Bank Street Sunday morning and night, December 17th.

Ranokne, Va.—The campaign of the Burrell Memorial Hospital was practically closed last Friday night when Rev. Davis gave his last instructions, made the final report for the day and with a smile caught the midnight train for Richmond. The campaign was considered a success in every way and especially financially. Most of those who worked in the campaign were inexperienced workers but the enthusiasm which was in evidence at all times never ceased until the campaign was brought to a successful close. Rev. Davis is a never tiring worker and every hour he was in the city the good work was going on. Each day a few more dollars come in and the total is still growing. More than five thousand dollars ($5000.00) have been raised. The Hospital Association has been well pleased with the success of the campaign and wish to thank all those who helped to make the campaign a success. Rev. G. C. Taylor, pastor of the A. M. E. Church has been indisposed for several days, he was not able to fill his pulpit Sunday but is much better at this writing and hopes to be out soon. Rev. Williams preached for him both Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Williams was at his best and did honor to the occasion.

AT THE CORNER OF QUEEN AND LINCOLN STS. BRANCH IN PHILA. Crossett, Ark.—We are not posted on what is going on in our own country, and the more I see of it the more I am impressed with this one thing, and I must knock along and get as much out of life as I am able to get. I got away from Hot Springs as soon as I could make it convenient to do so, and now I am in this part of the world, but will not remain here all the time, and you must keep this before you, and if you should desire to send me a letter, send it to 1116 Washington Boulevard, Kansas City, Kansas. Now where have I been and what have I been doing is one of the questions before us now. Of course I will not be able to tell you all. I had a delightful time in Hot Springs with all them Baptists who assembled there in the State Convention presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark., who is also president of the National Baptist Convention. I met some able men in this meeting—men I shall never forget. For instance I walked and talked with Dr. Joseph A. Booker, president of the Arkansas Baptist College, and one of the leading educators of this country. Dr. Booker has been in the work for a long time. I talked with this educator, and he told me about all the things that were going on right here in the city of Hot Springs. Them men did put down there money for the educational work. Well, I had a lot of baggage, and one of the deacons of the Baptist Church told me that he was going to come after me to tote me to the train Sunday morning if he lived and nothing happened. He did not come, so I just called up Undertaker J. T. T. Warren and told him to go after him, and take along the dead wagon, for I believe in my soul that deacon was dead. I am proud that I had the pleasure of visiting that place. I went to the Pythian Bath House. This institution is managed by J. T. T. Warren, who is a big Pythian himself and a big man in every particular. He spoke in words of praise of the good work going on right there in Hot Springs. I want to congratulate the Supreme Lodge on doing this for the health or humanity. Mr. Warren is a business man. Well, I got out of Hot Springs, and found my way to Pine Bluff. Prof. J. C. Ish, Jr., superintendent of the Branch Normal College was right there to get me, and toted me to the First Baptist Church where I found the people already there waiting for me to preach to them. The First Baptist Church of Pine Bluff is one of the churches in town out of debt. They don't owe any one, and were prepared to have me speak to them. I unloaded one of my speeches, and they gave me some money. In the afternoon I spoke to men only at Grace Baptist Church, and at night the Eight Street Baptist Church, and this finished the day. Monday I went over to Branch Normal College. For a long time Prof. J. C. Corbin, was the principal, and a white man was superintendent. The white man forgot himself and purchased some silk stockings and sent to one of the student girls, and when she got them, she just sent them home to her father, and that father returned them to the white man's wife. The students demanded his discharge, but after investigation, he was retained and the students all left the school, and remained out until they had to get rid of the white man. Now they looked around and found this well trained young man, and put him in charge, and believe me that the school jumped from where it was, for at the best they had only about 160 students, and they have now over 300 and still they are knocking at the door. It is outgrowing itself, and all because there is at the head a man. The State is going to make some improvements next year, perhaps move the school to larger quarters, and erect more buildings. It is to take its place with the leading state institutions of the country. They are doing excellent work there. Perhaps you would like to know all the teachers, and I will just tell you the others. Prof. F. T. Vinegar, principal; C. P. McLarren, science; S. J. Althemier, history; A. R. Reeves, mathematics; Isaac Hathaway, ceramics; D. E. Johnson, English and music; Irene C. Ross, English and geography; Ernestine I. Copeland, English, normal school; Dora W. Adair, head of department of home economics; Ailer Lewis, sewing and millinery; Julia S. Kinner, matron and sewing; W. P. Koon, auto repairing and blacksmithing; T. W. Cobbs, carpentry; R. Temple, agriculture; N. A. Murray, agriculture and gardening. I do not need to tell you that I put much in the department where Mrs. Adair was, because there was something to eat there. I don't know as I have ever seen a woman who knew so much about cooking. Her department is practical and the girls when they finish from her they are prepared to do anything about a house and then they know how to save and make ends meet. Wonderful age. I was delighted to have spent this time. There was T. W. Cobbs, who is from Hampton Institute, in Virginia, and he is one of the best young men who have been turned out from the school. He takes his place among the business men of the age, and then he is now preparing other young men to go where he is today, and to be able to do what he is doing today. Wonderful young man. I spent much of my time with Prof. Ish and his work. He was glad to have me study what was going on there. When I came to things I did not understand, I just looked wise and said nothing. For instance, I could not to save me tell what that was Prof. J. S. Hathaway was doing, for I never heard of cramics. He makes heads, plates and everything else to be made. He is an expert in his work. It was indeed a pleasure to see him.

Saturday, December 16, 1916 SOME SCHOOL STATISTICS. Mr. John E. Swearingen, the State Superintendent of Education for South Carolina, reports that within the past year the average expenditure per pupil per annum in that State has increased from $16.22 to $17.02. This shows that South Carolina is increasing its expenditures for education, which is encouraging and commendable. But Mr. Swearingen's report, given to the Associated Press and sent out all over the country, does not reveal how South Carolina apportions its educational money between the races. This information, which is usually withheld, for obvious reasons, is interesting in view of South Carolina's progress during the past year, and we will give it as we have gathered it from the latest official data on the subject: According to the census of 1910, the population of South Carolina was, white 679,161, colored 835,843. The amount spent for education of whites was $2,619,138, colored $378,670. The average expenditure for each white child was $10.70, for each colored child $1.09. Eighty seven per cent. of the total amount spent for education was for the education of the whites and 13 per cent. for the education of the colored. The whites constitute 44.8 per cent. and the Negroes constitute 55.02 per cent. of the population of the State. So, it will be seen that at the time the last federal census was taken South Carolina was spending an average of $11.79 per capita per annum for the education of the children of the state, and of that amount the average white child received $10.70 and the average colored child received $1.09. It is only reasonable to suppose that the same relative proportions obtain at this time, when, according to Superintendent Swearingen, the annual per capita expenditure for white and colored has increased to $17.02. The administration of the public school funds in the South is a matter that is entire beyond the influence of the colored people. They accept what is appropriated out of the general taxes for them and that is the end of it. It is no idle statement to say that while the South has spent considerable money for the education of Negroes, much of this money has been so poorly spent, or has been spent upon such poor tenchers and equipment as to be practically wasted. It is absurd to suppose that South Carolina or any other State could maintain an educational system for any race that would be worth the name at an annual expenditure per pupil of $1.09. It is equally as absurd to suppose that a State could make, or could encourage the making of good citizens, or that it could decrease crime and immorality, or increase the economic value of 55.02 per cent. of its population if it did not return to that group of its citizens for educational purposes more than $1.09 per capita out of the funds derived from taxing the whole body of citizens. The situation in South Carolina is typical of the whole South, yet most any white citizen of the South will say with apparent candor that the South is absolutely square with the Negro in all matters affecting his best interests. --- JUDGE WINSTON'S REMEDY. During the present week the Southern Commercial Congress has held its annual convention in Norfolk. The theme of the Congress has been "International Reconstruction after the War." This theme of course contemplated the development of the South along broad lines, international in scope. Much has been said during the week of the great natural resources of the South and the possibilities for their development. Everything has been touched upon it seems, or discussed formally except the Negro hegira, the exodus of Negro laborers from the South that has been going on for the past year. Judge Francis D. Winston, came forward with a resolution designed to put the approval of the Congress upon the exodus as well as upon segregation, especially rural segregation, a utopian dream of Judge Winston and some other North Carolina politicians. The resolution: "Resolved, That the complete industrial, intellectual and social development of the Southern States can be secured only when the Negro race is segregated and becomes a part of the citizenship of our sister states, and that we will encourage all movements tending to an equitable distribution of our Negro population among the other states of the Union, and that we favor an immediate repeal of all statutes which in any way retard such a movement." Be it said to the credit of the resolutions committee of the Congress that the resolution was not considered. That it was ever presented, however, is hard to comprehend. How Judge Winston, or any other sane man could believe by any stretch of imagination that the practical banishment of the Negro laborer from the South, or an "equitable distribution" of the South's present supply of labor among other States could benefit the South or help along its "complete industrial, intellectual and social development" is hard to understand in view of the part that the Negro has played in the economic affairs of the South for the past three hundred years. The South's cotton crop alone for this year is valued at one and one-quarter billion dollars. This vast amount of wealth was produced almost entirely by the class of labor that Mr. Winston would deprive the South of by segregation laws and other unfair measures. It is noteworthy that the sober judgment of the Congress was against his plan. Judge Winston is an ex-Republican, and an ex-judge, of course, and it appears that in common with others of the regenerated, he is trying to out-Herod Herod on the race question. If the South is to take its place in international reconstruction it must conserve its labor supply. Indifference to the present state of restlessness and unsettled condition of Negro labor in the South will in no wise insure to the benefit of this section nor aid it in taking a commanding place in the work of international reconstruction after the war. SWASTUKA CLUB DISTRIBUTES CHARITY MONEY. The Swastika Club, composed of twenty-four married ladies, who give every year an entertainment of some nature for the benefit of Norfolk Charities, gave a Musical Tea on Wednesday evening, December 6, at which time the sum of $66.25 was realized from the sale of tickets and refreshments.

The ladies of the club wish to thank all who helped in any way to make the entertainment a success. President, Mrs. P. B. Young; Secretary, Mrs. D. W. Byrd; Treasurer, Mrs. Jas. Morris. HENDERSON, N.

Tuberculosis Day Observed at Young Men's Institute. At the song service Sunday 10 inst. the principle feature was an address by Dr. C. V. Reynolds, city health officer. After singing several hymns, Scripture lesson by Rev. J. D. Cowan; prayer by Rev. F. A. Harris. Dr. J. W. Walker introduced Dr. Reynolds with a few timely remarks. Dr. Reynolds in his talk to the audience that completely filled the auditorium of the Y. M. L, gave some plain and radical advice and declared with education and less poverty among the colored people the ravages of tuberculosis could be materially lessened, he declared in the outset that the usual good spirit and strong constitutions made the colored man well able to fight the disease and that the Negro was only more susceptible to diseases than the white man because he had not been fighting the disease as long. In his closing remarks he advised the colored people to be more saving and build better homes to live in, and those that are infected with the disease to be more careful to see that it did not spread.

B. Mitchell has been Supt. for twenty-one years and under his leadership the Sunday School has moved on nicely. At 11:30 the pastor spoke from Acts 1:8, and all present were made to feel glad that they were there, every seat and all the chairs were taken, and still some had to stand in the morning service. At 3 p. m. the house was again crowded and some standing for the communion, Rev. R. H. Bowling was present and gave the hand of fellowship to five, and one was the pastor of our church. The spirit of the Lord was indeed with us, as our minds went back to Calvary and the time we first saw the light. At night another large crowd was out and the pastor spoke from Matt. 21:19, Subject, "The Cursed Fig Tree." And one was received into the church. Thus ending a good day for the master. The Lord is wonderfully blessing us, while the devil lingers around seeking whom he can devour. Second Calvary Baptist Church, C. P. Madison, Pastor. E. D. Balle, Clerk. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E.

Hodges, Mistress Mary Shepherd, Cordelia Coleman, Eliza Johnson and Mrs. Julia Hodges, also Messrs. J. R. Foster, A. L. Johnson, R. J. Tucker, Win. Batt, Thos. Hill and General Wilson. They told of the pastor's sacrificial service, and his uncompromising stand against the evils of the community. They gave him credit for many reforms and declared that God had sent him to Norfolk for a time like this. They further expressed themselves by presenting the following donations: Deaconess Board, a purse to the pastor; Deacon Board, a purse to the pastor; Usher Board, a purse to the pastor; B. Y. P. U., A pulpit Bible for the church; Pastor's Aid Society, a Morris Chair for the pastor; Know Nothing Club, donation to the pastor; Sunday School, a donation to the pastor; Sunday School, a donation to the Church; Missionary Circle, a donation to the church; Missionary Circle, a complete set of window shades for pastor's new home, and more still that are too numerous to mention. The pastor says he has not seen it on this wise before, but rejoices to know that he was counted worthy of such expressions. He acknowledges a debt of gratitude to all who contributed to the success of his pastorate, and likewise to those who appeared on the program during the service just closed. In the future as in the past, he will endear to serve God and humanity, and bags the continued support of all who are interested in the advance of the Master's cause.

Louisville, Ky.—Samuel Carter, who died in Red Cross Hospital for Negroes, and as not able to sign his name left an estate valued at $10,000. He was not supposed to have any thing as he did the most menial job about the city. Miss Francis V. Owens, a teacher in the Western Colored School, with whose family he had been friendly for more than fifty years was left all his property. She was always kind to him and evidently was the one ray of sunshine in the lonely old man's life. He was buried in the Owens' family plot and it was not until after his burial that it was known he possessed any thing. He left no relatives. Tailors to Meet. Greensboro, N.
