VOLUME XVII. NO.14 MAYOR KEECH PUT LID ON MAYOR KEECH PUT LID ON IN RESPONSE TO APPEAL OF COLORED CITIZEN CLOSED UP HOUSE OF ILL FAME AND PUT INMATES IN JAIL (Special to Journal and Guide.) Tarboro, N. C.—The business of segregating houses of ill fame and other nuisances in the colored sections of cities does not thrive in Tarboro under Mayor Keech's administration. He is at least one mayor who knows his duty and dares to perform it. Two houses of ill fame, whose inmates were white, were recently opened up here in "Princeville," a colored section of Tarboro. The houses were situated adjacent to a colored church, and were surrounded by the homes of the best colored people of the community. This did not deter the inmates of the houses, however, from carrying on their abominable business, and they seemed to be satisfied so long as they were out of the sight of people of their own color. Realizing that such a situation was unjust and unendurable, Rev. Jas. E. Holder, a colored Methodist minister, sent to the "Tarboro Southerner" an open letter to Mayor Keech and all good white citizens, pointing out the evil and calling upon them "in the name of communal decency and civic righteousness to drive the entire sisterhood out of our neighborhood." The letter appeared in Saturday afternoon's edition of the paper and on Monday morning Mayor Keech had the inmates of the home before him, and sent them to jail for 30 days on a charge of vagrancy and ordered a moral clean-up of the quarters.

The Home now contains twenty-seven rooms altogether. The officers of the Society are: Mrs. Ida Nugent Pacy, president and general manager; Mrs. Annie E. Brown, matron; assistant matrons Mesdames Idale Jeffreys, Elizabeth Smith and Mary Sinks; Dr. A. Lyman Pacy, house physician. The directors are: Dr. A. Lyman Pacy, chairman; P. B.

GREAT FOOT BALL GAME IN SUFFOLK XMAS DAY Local talent will stage the biggest football game of the season at the Tidewater Fair Grounds in Suffolk on Christmas day. The big event will be a championship game between the Sewance Athletic Club and the Y. M. C. A. eleven. These two teams are the best in the State and have never met. The game on Christmas day is to decide the football supremacy, which is claimed by both. Both teams have fast men. Of the Sewances Langley, halfback, and Tyler, quarterback, are real stars. On the Y. M. C. A. eleven Jones, tackle, and Bray and Faulkns, halfbacks, are brilliant players. Special Christmas rates may be obtained over all railroads entering Suffolk and the Fairgrounds are situated on the main highway from Norfolk to Suffolk, making it convenient for automobile parties. A large crowd is expected to go from this city to root for their respective favorites. KNIGHTS OF GIDEON WILL MOVE TO NEW QUARTERS After January 1st, 1917, he Supreme Lodge Knights of Gideon will be located in their new offices at the corner of Church and Donbegh streets. In connection with their offices they will also have a spacious and modernly appointed lodge hall, ample to meet the requirements of the lodges of the city. The Knights of Gideon is a beneficial and endowment organization and is one of the most progressive of its kind in the country. The organization was the pioneer in launching Negro Business enterprises in this city, and most of the substantial enterprises conducted by the race here were either organized originally or inspired by the Knights of Gideon. The officers of the organization are Rev. J. J. Malmor, Supreme Commander; Frank E. Puryear, Supreme Scribe; E. J. Puryear, Supreme Treasurer; Rev. George R. Jones, D. D., Supreme Vice Commander, and Mrs. Annie E. Vick, Supreme Senior. A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL The Journal and Guide PORTSMOUTH BANK DOING BIG BUSINESS Paid Out $11,000.00 to Christmas Savers and Working Extra Force To Take Care of Business That the Mutual Savings Bank of Portsmouth, a colored institution, that's just a little more than a year old, is proving itself to be a big factor in the commercial life of the citizens of that city is borne out by the statement of its cashier, Mr. J. S. Jones, to a representative of this paper when he visited the bank this week. Mr. Jones said the bank was doing a tremendous business, that eleven thousand dollars had been paid to Christmas savers and already more than nine hundred persons had enrolled in their next year's Christmas savings clubs. For the past two weeks the bank has had to employ an extra force of workers to take care of its increased business on account of which the bank is remaining open until a very late hour in the evening. Their supply of Christmas cards for next year has already been exhausted and they have had to reorder. In order to teach the school children the habit of thrift, the bank is installing a savings system in the public schools which is a forward step in banking and will be a prominent feature of its work next year. The bank's growth has been steady since its organization which is a credit to its officers and directors. BUY A COLUMBIA GRAFONOLA FOR XMAS Nothing will be more appreciable for your fireside for Christmas and for the entire year than a Columbia Grafonola, which is sold on easy terms by the Columbia Company, 311 Granby Street. The Columbia machine has the sweetest tone, the clearest sound and is undoubtedly the best machine of its kind on the market from a mechanical standpoint. Everybody in the family loves music and the kind of music that can be obtained from this ever-ready instrument is always that kind which pleases the higher nosthetic tastes. The Columbia machine reproduces perfectly all the best singers as well as the best orchestras and bands. With a Grafonola in the home the family is always prepared to entertain its guests in a most pleasing and attractive manner. Besides this, it will add pleasure and zest to the home life that gives to each member of the family new inspiration. The Columbia Company, whose announcement appears in this paper, extends a cordial invitation to the readers of this paper to visit its store and inspect its machines whether or not purchases are made. They can attend to out-of-town orders as well as local orders and will be pleased to correspond with out-of-town prospective buyers. They are always courteous and show a marked appreciation for their colored patronage. Y.M.C.A.NEWS The father and son meeting at the building last Sunday was a success. About forty boys were present and several men. Mr. G. W. Moore, the boys' international secretary, addressed the meeting and was followed by General Columbus Maxwell. Mr. Chas, Satchlech Morris, Jr., will address a special mass meeting of men at the building this Sunday at 4:30 p.m. A large crowd is expected to be on hand to hear this brilliant young man who has recently added new honors to his reputation as an effective and impressive speaker.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, DECEMBER 23, 1916 NEWSPAPER MEN MEET IN NASHVILLE Annual Convention of National Press Association In The Tennessee Metropolis February 7-10. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Nashville, Tenn.-Another annual convention of newspaper men for 1917 is to be held in this city Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, February 7, 8, 9, and 10th. The official call is just being released from the Corresponding Secretary's office of this city, which comes out signed by the President, Jos. L. Joad of Chennai, Ohio as Chairman of the Executive Committee, and Henry A. Boyd of this city as Corresponding Secretary. This will be the fourth time the newspaper men have gathered in the metropolis of Tennessee for an annual gathering. It is understood from the Corresponding Secretary that they are expecting the largest attendance in the history of the Association, as there are practically no annual gatherings being held now in mid-winter that will interfere with the newspaper men's program. The Nashville membership, which consist of twenty-five or more, have already called a meeting of the local members, and they are making preparations for the entertainment of all who may come. In addition to this, some of the leading newspaper men of the United States who are connected with the Association have expressed their intention of being present at this session. MERCANTILE BANK OFFERS OPPORTUNITY FOR THRIFT An opportunity to save in a systematic way in amounts that can be easily put aside from the wages of the average map or woman is afforded by the Holiday Savings Fund of the Mercantile Bank, Inc, cor. Plume and Atlantic street, opposite Post Office. This bank will open two classes on Tuesday, December 26th, one at 50 cents per week will pay $25.00 and interest at the end of fifty weeks, and the other at $1.00 per week will pay $50.00 and interest at the end of fifty weeks. All that one has to do to join either one of these classes is to go down to the bank, make the first payment of 50 cents or $1.00 and receive your card. Many people never start to saving and never have a bank account because they have an idea that banking is a complicated thing that they can not understand, and some reel that banks do not care to receive small deposits. There is no better way to start a savings account and become educated in the customs of doing business with a bank than by joining the Mercantile Bank's Holiday Fund which opens December 26. There is an announcement on page 5 of this paper that gives full particulars of the Mercantile plan. Tidewater Boys Pass State Board.

New Location, 709--717' Highland Ave. Just Off Church Street BOYDTON INSTITUTE AN IDEAL SCHOOL Accomplishing Much For Rural Youth. Wholesome, Religious And Social Life. Upon the invitation of Principal J. H. Hartman, the Rev. Dr. E. H. Hunter, pastor of Emanuel A. M. E. Church of Portsmouth, went to Boydton, Va., on December 15th, where he delivered a lecture under the auspices of Boydton Institute on the subject of "The Negro's Contribution and Debt to Literature," the occasion being the observance by the Institute of Negro literature day. In spite of the inclement weather a representative audience greeted Dr. Hunter, and reports from Boydton indicate that he sustained his splendid reputation as a lecturer and student of literature. Boydton Institute is a school maintained by the Christian Alliance, a northern religious sect; for the education of colored youth. Desirous of learning more of this school a representative of The Journal and Guide asked Dr. Hunter to state his impressions of the same, which he did as follows: "The stormy weather of the day, greatly interfered with the attendance of the people outside the school, but a most appreciative audience of pupils and teachers assembled in the beautiful assembly room to observe the day at the appointed hour. I was delighted with the sparkling music and the fine discipline, under the direction of the blind Professor, who is a very remarkable man. Also with the fine spiritual atmosphere and fraternal cooperation which pervades the entire plant. "I was pleasantly surprised too, in finding so extensive and well adapted property. The geographical location is admirable, and everything seems to invite good health. The school buildings are well constructed and commodious and on a fine elevation, just far enough removed from the town limits. The school owns two tracts of land, embracing altogether 425 acres. It was originally one of the Randolph-Macon schools and was purchased many years ago by the Christian Alliance people and dedicated to Negro religious culture. I don't know a school site that has more to recommend it in the way of natural environment. "Dr. Hartman is a man of experience, broad information and the real spirit of brotherhood. He worked many years in the West Indies and well understands, and has deep sympathy for the needs of all men, regardless of race. He has, associated with him, a corps of eight or ten devoted teachers who, with the true missionary spirit, are giving of their best, in training our youth into the right path. I want to commend Dr. Hartman and his faithful workers, both to patrons and philanthropists. The work at Boydton Institute is worthy of every kind of co-operation it may receive." BELL'S MILL, VA.

Publishing Co. CORPORATED --- ASHEVILLE Several Hundred Dollars in Xmas Saving Checks Issued to Colored People. (By J. H. Hamilton.) Ashville, N. C.—Of the $20,000.00 distributed by the Wachovia Bank & Trust Co. and like amount by the American National Bank of Asheville the colored people received several hundred dollars. A large amount of this money will be put to good use such as paying on homes and paying off old debts that they were forced to make on account of the high cost of living; while some will be spent to make glad the hearts of some member of the family or friend at Christmas. At the Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., it being my duty to help prepare these checks for mailing I noticed several checks amounting to over $50.00. The officers of this bank are encouraging thrift among our people as well as their own race and welcome the colored people to do their banking with them in all its departments. During my four years as porter I have found that the colored people are treated with kindness and courtesy by the clerks along with all the other customers. This bank pays 4% interest on Christmas savings, which will add greatly to your Christmas check if you begin December 20th and keep your payments up. This bank gave their employees 5% as bonus of their year's salary for their faithfulness to the bank. I received a handsome check on the 15th inst., 5% bonus of my year's salary along with the other employees of the bank which I appreciated very much. This shows that the Southern white man thinks well of his colored employees when he thinks well of himself. We as a race should always strive to please those who we have to work for, and we will find that they will do all they can to please you in return. Rev. J. D. Cowan has returned from Winston-Salem with his family, and are now living at 22 Sassafras street. St. Matthias P. E.

INFLUENCE OF ONE SCHOOL NEGROES IN THREE COUNTIES SURROUNDING BRICK NORMAL AND AGRICULTURE SCHOOL OWN 98,000 ACRES OF LAND (By John D. Wray.) Raleigh, N. C.—One of the most interesting meetings of its kind held in this state for sometime, convened at the Joseph N. Brick's School, Enfield, N. C., December 3rd. The program was somewhat of a miscellaneous nature. It stressed especially vocational education and its relative importance as the basic principle of progress and better living among our people, while great emphasis was laid upon the correlation of the necessary literary work to add more impetus to our chosen vocation. And it was shown that in order to attain this much desired success better homes, farms, schools, churches, and living are absolutely necessary. Prof. T. S. Inborden, principal of the school, gave a very appropriate address, the nature of which was a fine prelude to the very interesting and instructive program that followed. Miss McLenden, of the teachers training department also gave a very fine address on the modern methods of teaching. She was followed by Mrs. Davis, with an address equally as interesting on how to furnish a model home. She spoke also of the kind of pictures, and how to place them on the wall and emphasized the idea of using as little furniture as possible to meet the requirements of the family for sanitary as well as economic reasons. Still further interest was created in a demonstration in bread-making by Miss Webster a Domestic Science teacher. Mrs. John Lois Allen, head of the extension department at the Brick's School, and the leading spirit in this movement, exhibited some very simple, inexpensive, but most useful, equipment, and practically all the demonstration in cooking on a ordinary table in a public school at a cost of less than $5.00. Negroes In Three Counties Own 98,000 Acres of Land. This was followed by an address corn; poultry and Canning Club work which was very thoroughly explained and the teachers pledged their support to help the Corn Club Agent focus the Club work of Edgecombe, Halifax and Nash Counties about the Brick School, because of its ideal location. Three counties have a population of 58,000 Negroes, who own 98,000 acres of land. Negroes of Halifax alone own 60,000 acres. This is said to be very largely the result of the influence of the Brick's School and more especially the Annual Farmers' Conference, engineered by Professor Inborden, and his corps of teachers. What The Brick School Is Doing. When you think of its influence upon Negro land-owner-ship, its revolutionary and evolutionary effect upon the method of farming in this section of the State, to say nothing of the influence of students who have gone out as teachers and farmers distiming these modern ideas among our people and others who have prepared for the higher courses of training in other schools, it is simply marvelous. Products of School Farm. On the school farm which is under the supervision of Mr. Forney, a graduate of A. & T. College, Greensboro, N. C., they milk ten cows, care for 31 head of horses and mules, raise colts and fine cows, have two registered bulls, kill their own beef, made this year 500 barrels of corn, put up 36 tons of silage, raised 700 bushels of potatoes, 400 bags of peanuts, 100 bales of cotton, more hay than they need for next year. They have about 1,000 nice birds on the farm, most pure bred, 70 colonies of bees produced 1,500 lbs. of honey, killed 6,500 lbs. of pork, and have a fine herd for next year's crop. Mr. Forney farms on modern plans, sows, winter cover crops, uses farm machinery, does his work with students, making it practical, scientific, and easy as well as educational.

After hearing reports from the various members and considering them sufficiently large to make it a possibility, it was decided by those present that the committee employ a teacher for the Girls' Home for 5 months beginning January 1, 1916.

A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other." Obtainable everywhere. TITUSTOWN (Mrs. Adlena Hollomon.)

June 5, 1916. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to state that for sometime I have been bothered by catarrh, stomach trouble and vomiting, and used drugs. Vertical remedies and mounted physicians whitherever I have gone; but the trouble seems to aggravate. About three months ago met Rev. Cummings and asked him if a treatment would help to throw it away at once, saying that I would suffer more if I continued it. He then took me to his office and made a diagnosis of my complaints by looking into my files and told the truth I knew and the truth I did not know. I at once began to take his bath treatments and I am wonderfully improved. In fact my nervousness, stomach trouble and the nauseaate feeling while Rev. Cummings holds that I am not completely cured, I must confess that I am not coyous of these troubles. I hurried to see many a wonderful and devilous improvement in other patients whom I have met in his sanitarium, and am thoroughly convinced that Rev. Cummings' method is scientific and successful. I have obtained from stomach trouble, catarrh and nervousness to consult Rev. Cummings at once. I have found him honest and upright in his business and obligingly kind to his patients. I shall be glad to have seen the improvements I have observed in others. Call at 1855 Bolton Street. Believing the Rev. Cummings to be a Godsend to the City of Norfolk, and wishing for him continued success, I am, Yours for the Church, JOHN A. SCHER, B. D. Pastor of John M. Brown A. M. E. Church.

WILL CONSIDER UNION OF METHODIST BODIES Disposition of 350,000 Negro Communicants Problem For Northern and Southern Methodists (By Horace D. Slatter.) Asheville, N. C.—The joint commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Church, South, will meet in Baltimore, Md., December 28th, to bring about, if possible, the union of these two great branches of Methodism. This merger, discussed pro and con with varied warmth and emotions during the past twenty years has been rendered probable by legislative action of the general conferences of the two churches. Just what effect the union of these churches will have upon the more than 350,000 Negro communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church is problematical and is attracting considerable attention among thoughtful people of the race as the time for the commission meeting approaches. The original one body of Methodists suffered division in 1844 over the fact that a white bishop became involved in slavery by marrying a wife who had one Negro girl named Kitty as a slave. Thus seventy-two years ago the white people in the Methodist Episcopal Church, North and South, parted company with the Negro as the innocent occasion of the division. Now that the reunion of these two branches of Methodism is imminent, the relation of the Negro to the reunited church is one of the innocent causes involved. Upon the commission representing the Methodist Episcopal Church, are two prominent man of the race, Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La, and Dr. I. Garland Penn, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society, Cincinnati, Ohio. Drs. Jones and Penn represent the ministry and laity respectively upon the commission, but beyond that, they are the sole representatives of the 350,000 Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal Church, whose fortunes in a large measure are to be effected by the final conclusions of the commission. Christmas Cheer For Poor Children. The workers of the Brotherhood Beneficial association in Philadelphia are making a lively campaign for Christmas toys, goodies and clothing for the less fortunate colored children of the community. George Williams, one of the head workers, is noting as Santa Clubs for the society. The public is giving liberally to make the little ones glad on Christmas morn. Meeting of Pittsburgh Women's Clubs. The City Federation of Women's Clubs hold a largely attended meeting at the Warren Methodist church, Pittsburgh, on Friday evening, Dec. 5. The president, Mrs. S. McClamahan, presided. Mrs. D. E. Lampkin, recently appointed to visit the various clubs, made an interesting report. The organization is doing a splendid co-op productive work in the community. Southern Laborers Given Employment. Three hundred colored men from the south have secured employment in the mills and factories of Pittsburgh since the first week in November. It is reported that more than a thousand men will be given employment in the various industries in Pittsburgh and vicinity before Jan. 1. WELL MANAGED INSTITUTE. Collegiate School at Institute, W. Va. Doing Efficient Work. Notable progress is being made this term at the West Virginia Collegiate Institute at Institute, W. Va. The president of this thrifty school, Professor Byrd Prillerman, has used every available means to put the work on a substantial basis, and he has succeeded admirably. Less than two years ago the institution was raised to college rank and now has thirty-three students doing college work out of an enrollment of 386, which is the largest in the history of the school. The number of students in the college department not only shows the wisdom of the governor and other state authorities in raising the school to college rank, but shows high appreciation on the part of our young men and women of the opportunity afforded to pursue the higher branches at their own state institutions. The first three months of the present school year register the most commendable effort on the part of President Frillerman and faculty to get the very best results from students in all departments. Graduates of the institute consider it an honor to advance from the normal to the college grade at their alma mater. This is a noteworthy sign of progress and confidence on the part of students in the ability of the institution to meet the needs. MADAM Grace V.

Saturday, December 23, 1916 "THE SOCIAL GOSPEL AND RACIAL RELATIONSHIP." The bright future the Negro people should reasonably look forward to for higher and better things, based upon the place and the conditions in the place they make for themselves, by patience and forbearance, by industry and home making, by sober and orderly living, and by having something others want and are willing to appreciate as a sentiment or to pay for as a commodity—that Dr. Booker T. Washington devoted his useful life to preaching and teaching, by word and example, so that it has all become as gospel in the shaping of our thought and effort, is beginning to bear fruit in many directions. Governors and other high officials of State and municipality and writers for the newspapers and magazines, are beginning to think and speak and write more optimistically and justly about the Negro people and their relationship to the other race groups of the National citizenship than has heretofore been the case. For instance there is an article in the Epworth Era for November, by Prof. A. M. Trawick, a southerner, so comprehensive in treatment of "The Social Gospel and Relationship," so generous and fair, so full of statistical information and logical deduction as to make it impossible for us to do justice to it in an editorial in The Journal of Guide, but our readers of the ing qu b prot g of building homes and story life in them, and rural Kentucky, he owned for every gro population. There of segregation when the was poor and dependent. His ability to buy has raised the price against him." "From whatever angle the Negro economic life is viewed he has made our western civilization richer by his labor. He has demonstrated his right to a place in American life. His next step is to make himself indispensable, and that step he is rapidly preparing himself to take." "Is the Negro a pioneer? In the same sense that the white man is a pioneer." "The Negro has made his contribution to our National life by his independent discoveries and inventions." "It is through his religious life that the Negro has given his best and most permanent contribution to the life of the nation. One-tenth or all his accumulated wealth is represented in his church property. To go to church is with Negro to enter the real presence of God. If the Negro succeeds in making his thought dominant in the religious life of America, he will make his greatest and most enduring contribution." "The Negro is not a beast of burden, nor a more imitator of the white man. He is rendering his own independent service to a higher society. He is not a draw-back to civilization; he is indiapensable to American life, and the destiny of these Western lands will be imperfectly achieved if he does not perform his own racial mission!" Prof. Trawick is equally broad and fair in discussing the hopes and aspirations of the Negro politically. "The Negro is destined to play a more honorable part in the political life of this country than he has yet discharged," he says. What Prof. Trawick says of Negro womanhood and the disposition of white men to take advantage of it, because of the helpless condition the Negro finds himself in, is worthy of the Christian gentleman who wrote it and of emulation by the Christian men to whom he appeals. Womanhood is the supreme idealism of Christian manhood, and he is false to the Faith of the Lord and the Wisdom of God who would degrade this idealism in any of its racial relationship. THE NEW HOME OF THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE. The Journal and Guide has always tried to be progressive. The editor-in-chief and his loyal and faithful business associates and co-workers have always put the best that they had into the making of the paper, for the benefit of our readers, and for the advancement of the varied interests of our race at large. We have striven to make The Journal and Guide not the personal organ of a man or group of men with an axe to grind, but in reality a good newspaper, with its news, editorial and advertising columns all dedicated to the service of the people, whose interests it exists to espouse, all other considerations being second-ar Naturally, like all progressive publishers we have cherished the hope of some day having a real, permanent newspaper home, built and equipped to suit the requirements of the business. That hope has at last been realized. After January 1, 1917, The Journal and Guide will be domiciled in its new home at 709-717 Highland Ave., one door from Church Street, in the center of the up-town business section of the city. We have nearly four thousand feet of floor space, all of which will be devoted to the business and mechanical departments of the paper. We enter our new home with increased facilities for both newspaper and job printing, having installed some new machinery and the latest and most modern designs in type equipment. Of course all of the above called for considerable outlay. And we have made it pretty much upon faith—faith in ourselves and faith in the people we serve, both in Norfolk and outside of Norfolk. We have been encouraged much during the past six months by the rate the mail order end of our business has grown, which demonstrates that a house of real merit has unlimited field and unlimited possibilities. The Journal and Guilde has many loyal and appreciative subscribers in Norfolk and throughout Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, who could help us materially in the efforts that we are making to give them better service by paying up their subscription arrears and paying a year ahead. We hope that we will hear from many of them who read this editorial. These friends are invited to make our new venture an occasion of thankfulness not only to ourselves but to them. On account of the removal of our offices and plant there will be no issue of The Journal and Guide next week—the issue of Saturday, December 30th. The paper will make its regular appearance again on Saturday, January 6th. We wish to take this opportunity to extend to all our readers our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. REMEMBER THE OLD FOLKS HOME. The happy season of "Christmas giving" is here and most every one is trying to make some one else happy through the gift of a token of love, of friendship, or it may be a gift of benevolence. It is usually the gifts of benevolence that bring the happiest returns to the giver. "The poor we have with us always," which being true should make us the more diligent in the discharge of our Christian duty. Norfolk people have many worthy charities among them, all of which stand in need of assistance and should be remembered at this season. There is none more worthy, and none that stands more in need of help at this time than the LeKies' Old Folks Home. This institution is taking care of a number of the old mothers of the race, women of the "Black Mammy" type, many of whom spent their useful days in a struggle to help others to become useful citizens, only to be forsaken in their declining days. The "Black Mammy" should never be forgotten. A ton of coal, a load of wood, a basket of provisions, or a little cash will go a long way toward forwarding the efforts of those who are conducting the Old Folk's Home. In the distribution of our Christmas gifts let us remember this worthy institution. --- The December number of the Southern Workman (published by the Hampton Institute Press) contains two articles, especially suitable to the season—"Christmas on the Moreau," an interesting picture of Christmas in an Indian camp; and the "Community Christmas Tree," with beautiful illustrations, a fairy tale of somewhat local interest. An important contribution is a paper by Dr. W. D. Weatherford, of Nashville, on "The Basis of UnderstandL- Between the Races," which is we of serious consideration. "Negative and Health Conditions" is a study by Howard W. Odum of the University of Georgia. "Negro Rural Life in Virginia" is the title of an illustrated account of the representation of the products of rural Negroes, under the auspices of Hampton Institute, at the recent State Fair in Richmond. This issue also contains an interesting, illustrated article on Alaskan Indians and their superstitions. Editorials treat of the new biography of Dr. Washington by Emmett J. Scott and Lyman Beecher Stowe; of the latest legislation for the New York Indians; the recent meeting of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia; and of the formation of the Corporation and Association for the help of the ten million Mandingos of West Africa. all were led into a beautiful room and served to a delicat.

PUBLIC OPINION The emigration of Negroes from Southern States to Northern continues to be a topic for interesting discussion. The Negro has been doing very well in the South, but he seems to think that the North offers more opportunity. It will not be long before the Negro becomes dissatisfied in the North. Politicians at times have advocated segregation for Negro farm owners and laws providing only Negro tax money for Negro schools and white tax money for white schools. But no general movement of this kind ever succeeded. In the first place it would be unconstitutional. In the second place the Negro pays about as much taxes as he gets benefits. In many rural communities Negro farmers have bought land and equipped it with stock and machinery and are doing exceptionally well. The Census Bureau at Washington has made public recently facts showing that the Negro who stuck to the country instead of going to town has prospered in many instances. Of the 893,370 farms operated by Negroes in 1910, 880,830, or 98.6 per cent, were situated in the South. The average size of farm operated by the Negro in the South is 6.9 acres, and the amount of improved land for farms, 30.8 acres. The average acreage of farms operated by whites in the South is 14.1, and of improved land for farms, 55.7. The average value of farm property for farms is $1,230 for Southern Negroes, and $3,359 for Southern whites; but the average value per acre is slightly higher for Negroes than for whites—$26.25 as against $25.19. Of the Negro farmers in the South 24 per cent are owners or part owners and 75.9 per cent are tenants; of the white farmers 60.1 per cent are owners and 39.2 per cent tenants. In 1900 187,797 Negroes owned their farms, and in 1910 the number had increased to 218,972. In 1900 there were 567,174 Negro tenant farmers, and in 1910 672,964. —Columbia, S. C., Record. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS. Join in the spirit of the day, We're only children any way— Sing with gladness love's refrain, Let childhood's memories live again. This aint no time to act so glum, Help the children beat the drum; Blow a horn and wear a smile, Be a child again this whille! ROANOKE, VA. (By W. A. Reid) Ronnoke, Va.—Rev. S. M. Beane, of the M. E. Church exchanged pulpits with Rev. G. C. Taylor last Sunday, and with a large audience present delivered a strong sermon. He preached from Revelation, choosing as his subject, "Our Inheritance." Rev. Beane is what can be justly called a pulpit orator and was at his best Sunday and made a very lasting impression upon the A. M. E. congregation. His return to the A. M. E. Church in a like capacity will be heartily welcomed in the future. Emancipation services will be held at the Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church Monday, January first, 1917. The pastors of the several churches are planning for a grand time. Many good speakers have been chosen for the occasion, and every phase of the Negro development for the last fifty years will be discussed. Let all join in and make this occasion a great success. Dr. R. J. Boland, has been confined to his room for the past week on account of illness. Mrs. Hattie Williams of Abington, Va., was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Stockton of Henry street this week. Mr. J. B. Hall, of New Orleans, was in the city for a few days this week visiting his daughter, Mrs. Frank L. McCoy, of 321 Gilmer Ave. Mr. and Mrs. Thos. E. Gregory entertained in honor of Miss Emma Hale, formerly of Roanoke but recently of Washington, D. C., at their home, 507 Fairfax Ave. N. W., Wednesday night. The evening was most pleasantly spent and at 10:30 p. m. all were led into a beautiful dining room and served to a delicious menu. The following were present: Mrs. Kate L. Carpenter, Miss Emma Hale, Mrs. Geneva Booth, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. C. Dugger, Mr. Enoch Williams and Mr. J. D. Hill. At a late hour all departed for home. The recital given at the High St. Church last week by Mr. Dean for benefit of the Busy Bee Club was considered a great success. The Minute Men's Club in their initial appearance gave a splendid debate last Friday night at the High St. Church, where a large crowd was in attendance and enjoyed the program very much. The subject was, Resolved that the methods employed by the Teutonics and Allies are unjust. Mr. J. W. Tremont, Negative, Mr. J. E. Brown and Mr. J. the Negative. The debate was won by the Holoman the last speaker being the orator of the occasion, making by far the most points. Preceding the debate was a solo by Mr. Arnett Holland. Let us hope that this club will give many such entertainments during the winter. ROANOKE ADVERTISEMENTS Now is the time to buy a home.

The editors go, and why not their reporters? Influence, begotten by Common Sense, has much to do with one's life. Was it an episode? One ought to acquire the habit of going to church sometime. Saturday, his day for making pop-calls, was a little out of the ordinary. On his front porch the weather man said "22 above." That was on the reporter's porch at 4 that morning. And he not being an Eskimo, did not venture out or the whole day. But Sunday morning was quite different. So he ventured to go to the Methodist Church, where he might get just a bit of that old-time Methodist fire. He got it. The first on the program was "Holy, Holy, Holy." By which, the "Vested Choir" evenly marched in, followed by the minister. Mrs. M. A. Morris led the march, followed by eight others, including our W. W. Newby, Mr. Jordan, Miss Holland and the others. This choir can sing, and they did sing. Erma Morris was at her best, at the new pipe organ. There were exactly thirty minutes of the ritualistic service. The reporter not knowing whether he was in a Methodist or in any other ritualistic church, soon tired and kept his seat The church was fairly well filled. Old older, young and younger people were there. The vested choir quieted itself and the man of God arose with the great message of "The Promised Fruit of Christ's Sufferings." It was not what one might call a rhetorical effort, but a simply, plainly, masterly delivered Gospel sermon. There were a few of our best educated men and women present who understood it as well as did the many others who were not so fortunately favored. It was fitted for all. This was the first time that the reporter had heard this able preacher. And from what he had heard of him, the reporter expected to hear a big doctrinal discourse. But not so, it was a practical Gospel sermon. It filled the man, and the man filled the hearts of his audience. And the reporter felt like singing "Well wife, I have found the model church, and worshipped there today." For it made him think of the good old times, before his hair got gray. It took the Rev. L. T. Watson, pastor of the Pine Street-Methodist Church, just twenty-six minutes to deliver the sermon. After contributing his little might, the reporter left, knowing more, and feeling better. Many of our best subscribers belong to this church. Among Our Renewals.
