Church Tuesday, Jan. 30, Rev. Jas. S. Hatcher, pastor of John Brown Church, officiating. The sermon was delivered by Rev. S. S. Morris, pastor St. John. The esteem in which Rev. Day was held was evident by the great crowd which was in attendance. Eulogies and telegrams of condolence and praise for his faithful and loyal wife were read and noted by Dr. A. J. Nottingham. The sermon by Rev. Morris was a great effort portraying the noble traits of his excellent character. He said that Dr. Day was a friend, brother and never a party to any trickery. He praised the loyalty of his devoted wife, Mrs. Day, in the highest terms. Dr. O. T. Day was born in West Mansfield, Ohio, and at the time of his death was 51 years old. He was married to Mrs. Day for more than 23 years. He has served the following charges: Elizabeth City, St. James, Berkley; Suffolk, and at the time of his death was presiding elder of the Richmond District of the Virginia Conference. The men of the district loved and respected Dr. Day, and allowed him to suffer for nothing during his illness. Dr. M. E. Davis is authorized by Bishop Johnson to assume charge of the District and all brethren of the district will report to him. The state, city, church and humanity have all lost a friend and citizen in the death of Dr. Day. COREY GLEE CLUB DELIGHTED SUFFOLK AUDIENCE. Suffolk, Va.—The Corey Glee Club, of the Corey Memorial Institute, Portsmouth, Va., gave a delightful musical at the First Baptist Church, colored, Suffolk, Va., Monday night, January 29, 1917. The edifice was crowded to its seating capacity to hear this group of singers which has been so well trained by Prof. Hiram Simmons. While the whole program was an unusually meritorious one, there were a few features that deserve special mention. Miss Ruth Jackson in a select reading of Paul Laurence Dunbar's, "The Party," gave such a graphic and live rendition that all present were almost made to feel that they were actually in the "Party." Mr. J. W. Parker, in a tenor solo, "There is a Hill Far Away," more than pleased his hearers. Mr. James Campbell, as a music teacher in a comic chorus, "Call John," acted and sang so well that nothing but an encore would satisfy the house. All spoke the highest words of praise and commendation and congratulated the school and Principal J. Early Wright, upon having such an aggregation of singers and such proficient musical director and instructor. At the solicitation of the patrons of the musical the Glee Club will repeat the entertainment at the same church on Monday night, February 19, 1917.

The Journal and Guide ARMSTRONG LEAGUE PROGRAM INTERESTING Eloquent Tributes Paid To Life And Character Of Hampton's Founder. Before a splendid audience at the First Baptist Church Sunday afternoon, the Norfolk County Chapter of the Armstrong League, of which Prof. J. R. Dungee is president, held its annual exercises in honor of the late General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Normal Institute and benefactor of the Negro race. The president's address was a very timely and thoughtful tribute to the character and life work of the lamented General and an inspiration to those who heard it. He told in a very forceful manner of General Armstrong's aim for and attitude in regard to education for the race, saying that he believed in the education that fits a man best for his vocation in life, and in the building of Hampton it was his aim to give to the race an institution that would be of the greatest benefit to the largest number. The paper of Miss Ada Collins was also a splendid tribute to the life of the General. The musical numbers, especially the solos by Miss B. G. Vaughan and Mr. J. C. Norcum were well received by the audience. One of the most important features of the occasion was an address by one of Hampton's oldest lady teachers, who told of interesting experiences at Hampton and her contact with General Armstrong and the students and workers of that institution.

The Orion Social, Literary and Beneficial Association, Inc., opened its door of hospitality to friends and members of the various Associations of the city. Owing to the inclement weather the guests' attendance was small, though larger than expected. Mr. J. B. Spencer, counselor for the Association, after being introduced by Mr. D. W. Griffin, president of the Association, acted as master of ceremonies. The master of ceremonies made a very timely talk touching on the importance of the enfranchisement of the colored man, urging him to cast his vote whether he thought it counted or not, he also touched very briefly on the importance of a home for the Association, even if it had to be affiliated with some other association to accomplish it. We, as a people, he said, put too much stress on getting to die. Make better preparations to live and live right and we will die right. The chief object of the various Associations and lodges is to look after its sick and bury its dead. But the time has come for the Associations, clubs and lodges to offer more inducements to young men. Mr. Miles Paire, a member of the Zodiac Social & Beneficial Association, was present and made a very timely talk, he touched on the good that prohibition had done in this community, and closed by wishing the Association the most prosperous year of its history. Mr. Boulding, Mr. McCoy and Mr. Elliott made timely remarks, the latter offering a prayer. Refreshments were served by a committee and several selections were rendered during the evening by the Orion Quartette. After the repast and exercises were over the Association was dismissed by Bro. Jas. Monroe, chaplain of the Association. D. W. Griffin, president; R. P. Wood, secretary. Business League Meeting.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, FEBRUARY 3, 1917 SOUTH VIEWS WITH ALARM NEGRO EXODUS Idle Plants And Plantations Are Predicted—Business Crisis At Hand, It Is Said. Atlanta, Ga.-Georgin is beginning to view with apprehension the exodus of Negroes to the North, and The Atlanta Constitution is authority for the statement that the State is apparently upon the eve of a long-needed awakening to the importance of law and order. The Negro's migration is taken as a silent protest against conditions, and the fact that the press and the people have become more aroused than ever to the necessity of sentiment and action which will guarantee satisfactory conditions to the Negro, is believed to be due to the effect the migration is having upon industry. "The appeal to humanity, to fairness and justice and right, has been, apparently, without effect," says The Constitution. "It is unfortunate for the people of Georgia that an appeal to the pocketbook should be necessary to bring back the enthrancement of law; but if moral suasion is powerless, the question of personal interest has entered, and in no uncertain degree." It continues: "The one hopeful feature now is that the awakening has begun, even though it required the prospect of an industrial crisis to bring it about. Newspapers all over the State have taken up the subject, with a view to impressing the public mind with the business crisis that confronts us. The moral viewpoint has been reinforced by the appeal of the dollar. "If plants and plantations stand idle while markets are crying for their products, then communities will rise up to know why and to apply the remedy. There is no secret about what must be done, if Georgia would save herself from threatened disaster, which, in some sections, has already become serious. "In the first place, there must be no more mobs. Mob and mob spirit must be eliminated completely, so completely that there will be no danger of recurrence. If a Negro be chirped with a crime, even if it be known that he is guilty, he must be given the same fair treatment before the law that is accorded the white man. If anything, it would seem ignorance and childishness demand even more consideration than crime which lacks that excuse." "But more than that, we must be fair to the Negro. There is no use in beating about the bush; we have not shown that fairness in the past, nor are we showing it today, either in justice before the law, in facilities accorded for education or in other directions. "Argue it as you will, these things which we have not done are the things which must do, or Georgia will suffer for it in proportion as she fails. Many Georgia counties have already begun to feel the pressure, and they are crying out. "The awakening has been long in coming, but the growing signs of it are the more gratifying. Let's encourage it, bring it quickly. There is, perhaps, no single factor that means more to Georgia's future progress." Mr. Canaday Treasurer Home Building Association. Mr. E. M. Cannaday was elected treasurer of the Norfolk Home Building Association at the annual meeting of the directors. The statement published that Mr. R. C. Deans was elected to the position was an error. TWISDALE-TURNER. A quiet marriage was celebrated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Veale, 1308 Outten street, Thursday, January 18th, when Miss Gertrude Twisdale became the bride of Mr. Floyd Turner, Rev. L. A. McDowell performed the ceremony. Mr. Turner has been employed at the firm of PaulGale-Greenwood for about eight years. Miss Twisdale was formly of Norlinn, N. C. A Correction. In publishing the notice of Alijah Lodge in last week's issue the name of Mr. T. I. Burruss, past president, was unintentionally printed "T. J. Barnes." Birthday Party. Mr. and Mrs. Mack Lathan of Norfolk and Mrs. Caroline Harris of Newport News, Va., gave their son, Mr. Willie Eugene Lathan, his seventeenth birthday party on January first, 1917. The party enjoyed music and games, after which they were served with a tempting repass. Those present were: Misses M. Lulu Bey, Lavinia Carter, Ruth Alexander, Bessie Briggs, Eva Etta Brown; Messrs. J. R. Cooke, R. T. Ricks, Harvey Roberts, John E. Hill, James Whiten and Charlie Carter. The guest of honor, Mr. Lathan wore a lavender rose in the lapel of his coat to distinguish him from the rest of the party. Call Meeting. There will be a call meeting of the officers of the Emancipation Association and all chairman on the second Monday night in February the 12th, at the Y. M. C. A. building, Queen street. Every delegate is asked to be present. By order of the president, G. W. Giddings. NORFOLK BANK LED IN XMAS SAVINGS DEPOSITS Brown's Savings And Banking Company, Inc., Accumulated $70,000.00 Through Its Xmas Savings Club. Several of the colored banks in the South conducted Christmas Savings Clubs last year, paying out thousands of dollars to their members just before Christmas. The plan is growing more and more popular in cities where it has been put in operation and the results are splendid from an economic standpoint. Brown's Savings and Banking Co., Inc., of Norfolk has the distinction of leading the colored banks in amount of deposits accumulated through the Christmas Savings Club plan. The following amounts were paid out by colored banks: Brown's Savings and Banking Co., Inc., Norfolk Va. $70,000.00 Mechanics Savings Bank, Richmond, Va. 60,000.00 Wage Earners Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga. 14,000.00 Savannah Savings and Real Estate Corp., Savannah, Ga. 5,017.00 Mechanics Bank, Savannah, Ga. 1,000.00 St. Luke's Penny Savings Bank, Richmond 9,000.00 Mutual Savings Bank, Portsmouth, Va. 11,000.00 ASHEVILLE Manual Training For The Colored School Children.

HUNTER'S LEADERSHIP Raised Over $600.00 For Kittrell College Duke Fund. Dr. E. N. Hunter and Emanuel A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, have added new hauels to their already enviable record of great things in church work, by their recent rally for the Duke fund. For the last two or three months the A. M. E. people in North Carolina and Virginia have been in the midst of a great educational campaign to raise $12,500.00 in order to capture a like among, offered by the Duke brothers presiding elder districts in the Second Episcopal District have been requested to raise $1,000.00 each. The part assigned to Emanuel Church, in the Portsmouth District was $300.00. Dr. Hunter did not begin his campaign until the First Sunday in January, because of his very successful revival in the fall and a rally he had planned to follow, in which $625.25 was raised by the last of December and the last item of bonded debt paid off thereby. He then organized and urged his people, on the ground that God had so blessed them, by helping them to get free of debt, to do a real big thing, by raising $500.00 in two weeks for Christian Education. Right royally did the church and community respond to the plans which consisted of a contest between a team of men, led by Mr. Thos. W. Newbie and a team of women under the leadership of Mrs. J. M. Hunter. January 24th was fixed as the date for the contest and Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church was engaged as the center attraction for the occasion. The settings for the great event were complete. The entire community was fully interested. So that, despite the downpour of rain that night, the house was filled. Prof. Hawkins was in fine form and gave a most inspiring, instructive and entertaining lecture on "The Making of a Nation." Emanuel's choir and the Corey Glee Club charmed the audience with delightful music. Then the contest proceeded in spirited fashion, almost to the end, in the race for the nearest approach to the goal of $500.00. To the delight and amidst the wild applause of all present, Dr Hunter finally announced the close of the contest, with $589.10 cash laid upon the tables that night. The women had raised $300.01; the men $278.78. The rest came by basket offering. Dr. Hunter, his people and all Portsmouth are rejoicing in the signal triumph thus accomplished for a worthy cause. It is estimated that this event will have a stimulating effect on all similar movements. Additional amounts brought in since the night of the contest, have run the total well over $600,000 and the Duke Fund from Emanuel will be about $575,000 instead of $300,000 as assessed. LAWYER J.

Among the other experts who addressed the association were Clinton J. Calloway of Tuskegee Institute, representative of the National Rural School association; Dr. Homer C. Lyman of Atlanta, of the International Sunday School association;; J. B. Fitch, Manhattan, Kau, of the dairy department of the Agricultural College of Kansas; Mrs. Lydia DeVilbiss, M. D., of the division of child hygiene; W. W. Russell, expert lecturer on poultry husbandry and representative of the American Poultry Journal; C. D. McClusky of Topeka, Cupper Printing company; J. G. Groves, expert potato grower. While these specialists spoke and gave special advice to the farmers, the farmers also had their say, and it was interesting to hear them tell their own story, some in a crude way, but it was worthy of a place among the men who had reached the top. There were many interesting characters present. Mrs. H. C. Wilson furnished an interesting exhibition, for exhibitors of farm produce, needlework, domestic science and poultry formed a part of the session, and prizes were awarded. She came with everything that could be canned, turnip and mustard greens, pickled; rugs made from rugs, shirt waist made from crude sacks that had been dyed, quilts made by hand. The one made from American flags, which she herself had made, was unique. The poultry exhibition brought forward some of the finest fowls in America. One hen, valued at $100, owned by W. W. Russell, was attractive. All the sessions of the institution were held in the chapel of the institute, and Dr. W. R. Carter presided. In his opening remarks he pointed out the many avenues opened to the whole race, to all the citizens of Kansas especially, was that to be found on the farm. "The soil has never drawn the color line and never well," said President Carter, "and since we made a fortune for others in the days of slavery, now let us make some of it for ourselves. The most independent man in the country today is the farmer. "Man must prepare for farming just as he prepares for anything else. As the doctor studies the human body and medicine, as the minister studies theology and the Bible, as the lawyer studies law, so should the farmer study the soil. Get the wealth from the earth that God has planted there for every man, woman and child." "One of the most gratifying things that have been done for the young people by the state of Kansas is that they have been given a decent place to be born—a state clean, full of inspiration. In proportion to its population we have more churches, more students in school, more Sunday schools." These were the words of E. W. Hoch. Special music was furnished by the students of the institute, as well as the school band and orchestra. The people were loud in their praises of the music. Friday night following the program prizes were awarded. One of the most helpful addresses delivered was the one by Professor Galloway of Tuskegee institute. It was inspiring to the farmers, visitors, faculty and students. BELL'S MILL BELL'S MILL (Rev. J. H. Alexander.)

A circular sent out broadcast over the country recently by the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, contained the statement that "fourth-fifths of the mail orders for liquors which go into the State of Georgia are consumed by Negroes." Feeling that this estimate was rather exaggerated The Journal and Guide wrote Mr. Deets Pickett, research secretary of the board requesting the source of the information upon which the statement was based. After a delay of two weeks Mr. Pickett replied as follows: "The statement that four-fifths of the liquor shipped into Georgia are consigned to Negroes was taken from The Atlanta Constitution. However, I should say that the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Alabama told me the same thing, and in Birmingham I myself saw two lines of people waiting their turn at the express office. In one line there were sixty Negroes and two white people. I have forgotten the number in the other line but the proportion was about the same. "It is a very distressing fact that under present conditions prohibition is not lessening the consumption of liquor among Negroes to anything like the extent it is lessening liquor consumption among white people." We expected the Board of Temper- Prohibition and Public Morals pley that its assumption was paid upon the records of shippers and express companies. We are dis- appointed that its research depar- ment should undertake to support such a serious charge of racial immorality and human deprivacy upon what The Atlanta Constitution "said," and what the Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Alabama "told him," and what he himself "saw" in two lines of people waiting at an express office to receive liquor. What is there in The Atlanta Constitution's statement except assumption to support its claim? Likewise the statement of the Alabama Anti-Saloon League Superintendent? And how does Mr. Pickett know that the Negroes he saw in line at the express office consumed all the liquor they received? How many chauffeurs and butlers and hirelings of white men were there to receive liquor for their employers. It is a fact, a well established fact, that many white men who wish to attract to themselves favorable notoriety order liquor in names of their colored servants. Negroes consume a great deal of or, but it is hardly fair to the race and broadcast an unqualified state-based upon hearsay evidence. Negroes consume four-fifths of liquor shipped into a State. with the last paragraph of Mr. Hill's letter we are more in agreement it is undoubtedly true that promotion under present conditions is not lessening the consumption of whiskey among Negroes to the extent that it is lessening liquor consumption among white people, but this is not remarkable considering the fact that temperance is a matter of self-restraint, and considering the advantages, educational and otherwise, of the whiskey over the blacks, and the further fact that the Southern States spend an average of twenty dollars for the education of white youth to every one dollar spent for the education of Negro youth it is not so remarkable that the whites have more self-restraint and are more amenable to prohibition legislation. With everything taxed to the limit, and the cost of living soaring sykward and soaring, the Democratic Administration at Washington, with a $300,000,000 deficit in the annual revenues in sight, are "having the time of their lives" in finding taxable articles that will meet the deficit. It does not pay the Government any more than it does an individual to be extravagant in spending its money. The editor of The Journal and Guide had the pleasure of spending a few hours Monday at Waters Normal Institute, Winton, Hertford county, North Carolina. Waters Institute was founded more than twenty-five years ago by Rev. Calvin S. Brown, then a fresh young graduate of Shaw University, endowed with great native ability, possessing a good education and imbued with a desire to aid in the cause of uplifting the masses. The school was started in the town of Winton, which is in the heart of one of the most fertile agricultural regions in the State, and from an humble beginning in a small frame structure the school has grown to splendid proportions, representing a property value of approximately $100,000.00. A unique and unusual phase of Dr. Brown's educational work through Waters Institute is the fact that most of the money that has built and maintained the school was raised among the colored people themselves who live in Hertford and adjoining counties. Aside from a small annual contribution from the American Baptist Home Mission Society the money for the upkeep and maintenance of the school is raised through the Chowan Educational Association and similar organizations which he has organized and is identified with. The influence of the school has been far-reaching. In Hertford and adjoining counties it is manifested in splendid farms and rural homes. One girl graduate of the school told the writer that her father had been a share-crop tenant for twenty-five years until she "returned home from Waters Institute and persuaded him to buy a farm of his own." He took her advice and with her encouragement and assistance now owns a hundred-acre farm said to be worth $10,000.00, and is clear of debt, and instead of living in a two-room cabin occupies with his family a substantial seven-room house. There are hundreds of farmers in similar circumstances in Hertford and adjoining counties and practically all of them attribute their "start" to the influence of Dr. Brown and Waters Institute. Recently a colored man died in Hertford county who had the distinction of owing more acres of land than any one in the county. Plans are now under way for greatly increasing the utility and usefulness of Waters Institute. The improvements contemplated are to convert the curriculum into a teacher-training course and add agricultural, domestic science and manual training features on a larger scale. The Alumni Association of Howard University, at Washington, have pledged $10,000 towards $100,000 needed to build a suitable gymnasium for the University. Great efforts will be made during the celebration of the half-century of the University's existence, which begins March 1, to collect as large a part of the money as possible. A gymnasium such as is proposed would be of very great advantage to the student body. Modern conditions of life tend to weaken the physical powers of the race, so that physical culture in the schools becomes of the utmost importance. Proper physical culture is as necessary as proper mental culture. Mr. Editor: This community has in its power the opportunity to measure up to the standard of our most enlightened and Christian cities by its support and appreciation of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association. The height of a community is measured by no better test. The holding of young men to noble ideals, and the formation of Christian character in them as well as the conservation of sound, physical health, is the principal aim of this, the chief arm of the church, and it only requires impartial judgment of a fair, intelligent and honest mind to recognize the worth and utility of the Y. M. C. A. So as the newly elected president of the above named Y. M. C. A., I am putting it up squarely to this community to rally around this institution and help to make it a greater power for the saving of young men and extending the Master's kingdom. The burden of support, direction and counsel, moral, financial and otherwise falls directly upon the clergy, professional, business and forward-looking men of our community. This duty can not be shirked or shifted by any pretext or excuses, and the sooner they shoulder this responsibility the better. A COLORED ENGINEER WITH A RECORD FOR STABILITY Mr. J. H. Bowen is engineer on the steamer "Calumet," owned by the Chowen Motor Company and flying between Murfreesboro and Tunis, N.C., on the Moherrin and Chowan rivers. Mr. Bowen has held this position for the past eight years and has never missed a day from slackness or other cause during that time. He is recognized as a capable marine engineer and is held in high esteem by his company. The "Calumet" is a mall and passenger steamer. THE GOOD WORK OF THE NEGRO ORGANIZATION SOCIETY. No more needed work of uplift among the Negro people of Virginia, and of the other States of the Southern group, has been or is being done than that of the Negro Organization Society, organized August 1, 1912, with Major Robert R. Moton as the inspiration and the moving spirit. We have said so much many times in The Journal and Guide, since the beginning of the work of the Society, but we feel that we cannot repeat what we have said too frequently of so meritorious a work. The present officers of the Society are: Robert R. Moton, honorary president; Allen Washington, president; John M. Gandy, executive secretary; E. A. Long, secretary; W. T. B. Williams, treasurer; A. A. Graham, chairman of Executive Committee; T. C. Erwin and T. C. Walker, field agents. We deem it of general interest to state the purposes of the Society, as follows: 1. To build better school houses, lengthen terms, create and promote a general interest in education and co-operation between school and community. 2. To improve the health of the people by enlightening the public on the causes and prevention of diseases; and by seeking to establish better health conditions at home and at all public meeting places. 3. To secure co-operation among farmers in buying and selling products; enliven their conscience to the necessity of better methods in farming; and to encourage land buying. 4. To wage an unceasing campaign for better homes and better morals; and thus to develop a higher type of citizenship. When the condition and needs of the race are properly considered these purposes of the Society necessarily appear to be of the most vital moment, and that Dr. Moton and his associates, who gave them form and substance, must always be highly esteemed and appreciated by those whom they intended to benefit. It is not too much to say that, at this time, Field Agent T. C. Erwin, is the man in the Society who is "doing things." He is a sort of "human dynamo" in action, and his associates appreciate his good works. Now, what has the Society accomplished during its five years of existence? A leaflet tells us and we summarize its conclusions, as follows: 1. Vigorous campaign for school improvement and for disease prevention, resulting in many new school buildings, with proper sanitary appointments, being built, and the creation of better school conditions. 2. School Improvement Leagues have been assisted in erecting new standard school buildings in communities where such assistance was needed; and many new Leagues have been organized, and others that had grown inactive have been revived in their interest. 3. In the effort to educate the people in the vital matter of disease prevention, 150,000 Health Bulletins have been placed in the hands of the people; more than 3,500 persons have signed the Health Creed Pledge and the State Health Department send the Health Bulletins to them as they are published. 4. The four annual Clean-Up Movements have induced more than 400,000 Negroes to make their homes and surrounding premises sanitary. The State Health Department published a Health Bulletin adapted especially to Clean-Up Week, and during the four campaigns distributed 115,000 copies. 5. The Society's agents have made many educational and health campaigns in various parts of the State, and special campaigns for general social uplift have been made by the president, secretary and other officers through the four sections of the State. 6. Several Farmers' Conferences have been organized and addressed and special effort is being made to encourage co-operation among Negro farmers. 7. The Society is working with the Virginian Anti-Tuberculosis Association for the founding of a tuberculosis sanatorium for Negroes in Virginia, a Tag Day yielding $2,000 for this purpose; and the placing of destitute and delinquent children in good homes is being undertaken in connection with the State Board of Charities and Corrections. Wherever white people have shown a disposition to help on the work of the Society it has been much appreciated and gladly accepted. The Journal and Guide submits that the Society's accomplishments are commensurate with the splendid purpose with which it began work five years ago. It has been of inestimable value to the Negroes of Virginia, and, necessarily, in relative degree, to the white people of the State. We are so far enthused over the good work of the Negro Organization Society as to devoutly wish that the Negroes of every State of the South might have a Society of their own just like it. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE Y. M. C. A. The Exodus of Labor From the South and the Remedy. For the past six months, from Georgia on the east to Texas on the west, there has been a steady movement of Negro laborers toward the industrial centers of the North. By the first of the war it was estimated that some 150,000 had gone, with the movement unabated. Newspapers, commercial bodies and individuals have deplored this migration, foreseeing in it disaster to the agricultural and industrial South. Resolutions have been adopted, prohibitive taxes on labor agents imposed, and in some cases actual violence threatened. But the Negroes are still going North. Rivers are dammed and their flow checked more easily than can the operations of an economic law be altered, and it is simply in obedience to such a law that our Negroes are leaving. Emigration from Europe to America has practically ceased, due to the great war, and the industrial centers of the North are feeling the pinch. Prices for labor there, always higher than in the South, have been raised to $3, $4 and even $5 a day. With farm labor in many sections of the South at 75 cents and a dollar a day, what is more natural than for the laborer to drift away? And who is there who shall deny him the right to find the best market he can for his labor? In the abundance of cheap labor the Southern employer has had and still has a tremendous industrial advantage. But if he is to maintain his advantage, means must be found for increasing the productive power of this labor, this in turn enabling employers to pay better wages and provide better living conditions. The heaviest movement of labor away from the Cotton Belt has been out of the boll weevil-ridden areas. Here almost total crop failures have left the tenants destitute, and it is often a case of either get out or starve. No drastic anti-labor-agent laws or threats of violence will remedy such a situation. The problem is one for the landlord and employer. If he is financially able and willing to feed, clothes and shelter his tenants until another crop is made, he can make sure that practically none of his labor will willingly leave him. If he can't do this, if the community, the country, or the South cannot do this, the labor movement North is bound to continue until a fair balance is struck. You can't keep water from seeking its level. —Progressive Farmer. "PRAISEWORTHY MUSE" "Praiseworthy Muse," a quarterly magazine of Negro poetry began circulation on the 2nd inst.

FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT GLASSES Their Real Value Is In The Results Obtained. There are spectacles and eyeglasses to be had at most any price one wants to pay. Pot luck in stock spectacles is not so dangerous as submitting one's eyes to the experiments of an incompetent person—a man who knows just enough about eyes to be dangerous. The man who is capable of giving the eyes lenses that are safe usually wants an equitable compensation. For that reason it is safer to pay a reasonable price and be benefited to your satisfaction than to put your eyesight into the hands of an incompetent person. During the past twenty-four years Dr. Masrow has benefited his patients to the fullest and thousands of them have so testified. He has no guesswork charged up against his reputation. He always uses the best lenses made and guarantees his work. His prices are low enough for the high character of work he does. Dr. Masrow's office is in suite 405 and 405½ Dickson Building, corner of Granby and Tazewell 'street, over Smith and Welton's store. The public should consider carefully the reputation and standing of the man whom they entrust with their eyes. Dr. Masrow is endorsed by thousands of the most intelligent people in Norfolk and赋finity, who have been benefited by his office hours from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. 'Phone 219 for appointment.—Aid PETER J. "VENTILATION." (Continued from last Week.) The simplest and best method of ventilating apartments of whatever nature is by permitting the entrance of fresh air into rooms from the top of windows, having been lowered anywhere from 4 to 5 inches according to the capacity to be affected. And this means a constant flow of pure wholesome air. Unfortunately this can not be obtained in the average dwelling in the small towns and rural districts, because of the antiquated architectural taste, employed in putting windows into a building. That is by having windows which can be opened only by hoisting them from the bottom. This is not only true in private dwellings, but is much in evidence in our churches, halls and schools. One can readily see that there may be some risk in permitting currents of air to come into a room constantly when such currents are on a level with your body. Too close proximity to the window in such case is a little imminent to health and necessary caution should be exercised in such ventilation. The air entering should always flow over the heads of the occupants so that there will be no risk in subjecting one's health to suddenness of change. As the air comes in over the heads of prisons in a room, it gradually descends, being heavier than the air inside the room, and gradually displaces that which is impure and mixes uniformly, and permits the body to adjust itself to the change without any serious after effects. To offset the difficulty in getting fresh air to enter a room above the heads of occupants where windows are hoisted from the bottom, there is a method which will produce results that may be satisfactory under such circumstances. Take a thin board about six inches wide and with length the width of the window and hoist the lower section of the window and insert this board which will keep the lower section raised to the width of the board thereby allowing air to enter between the two sections about mid-way the window. In this case the air does not enter at such a high altitude as that coming in from windows lowered from top, but it does affect the risk incurred by allowing it to enter on the level with the body when seated and in a close location to the window. The old fashion fire-place, which has been displaced by more modern methods of heating apartments, is another good method of ventilating rooms where they are used. They are as a rule any where from $3\frac{1}{2}$ to 4 or 5 feet wide, and there is always an upward current escaping to the exterior day and night. By this procedure the air in the room is undergoing constant change without any special efforts on Prairie View, Texas.—The man who gets over this country will certainly see something and he will always have something to talk about. You will note from time to time through my letters know that I am doing some riding on the road and I am seeing some few things in this country and while you are not with me, I feel that I should give you the benefit of what I have seen and what I am still seeing and let you look at them through my eye. I have been moving so fast until I do not know just where I was when I mailed my last letter to you, but I do know that I am here now. I have spent a little time with Prof. M. M. Rodgers, auditor of the national Baptist convention, secretary of the General Missionary and Educational Convention of Texas, and grand keeper of records and seals of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and one of the busiest men in the whole race. He is a man who has taken the time to prepare himself, and when he knocked at the door of opportunity, it flew open to him and told him to enter. It is out of the question for race prejudice, race hatred or any other name you want to call it to keep down brains. This is going to get a hearing and the world will pay tribute to a thinker. I care not what the color of his skin may be or to what race he may belong. I have found the world getting along just that way and it is going to continue that way. I want that our people everywhere shall become thinkers. I am a thinker and I want that they shall think also. You may consider that I am throwing bouquets at myself when I tell you that I am a thinker, but you are mistaken, I am just telling you the truth about it, and you may draw the line just as you think best. I have been looking at the men who are engaged in thinking. I was in Virginia several times last year and I touched some of your best men. I was in Norfolk, when the Baptist State Convention met there, and I got so much out of that meeting presided over by Rev. A. A. Galvin. It was while there that I met the editor of The Journal and Guide and he invited me to join in with the newspaper men and make good if possible. I don't know what he has thought of HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION OF HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE the part of anyone. Yet I believe that although the viliated air escapes by this route, still it does not serve to replenish the pure air content entirely, and it must be provided by entrance into the rooms in some measure at stated above. Another method which has been employed especially in school rooms, and this which no doubt is still employed in whole, can not shut up, windows and doors, and twice swelling or three times a day up the stairs, school room for 5 or 10 minutes to allow all foul air to disappear entirely and then resume work again within is by closed doors and windows. This opened method is better than none at all, but it does not afford results in comparative with methods where the air is undergoing a constant change by the process of ingress and egress. That ventilation is a neglected preventive measure against enemies of health is a fact well established by daily observation, and for which some one or many are responsible. Especially is this true among the colored people and in small towns and rural districts. The way I see this responsibility, the whole matter falls at the door of leadership. In the church it is the preacher's business to see to it that the atmosphere in the auditorium during the hours of service is kept in a healthy condition so that his congregation won't go to sleep during his preaching, thereby losing the most important part of his message in directing their attention to things more interesting in the land of "nod;" it is the teacher's business to see to it that the air of the school room is maintained to its normal standard of purity, thereby getting the best results from the pupils and frees her of making the criticism that the pupils are dum and backward, and incapable of being taught; it comes within the province of the management of therents, amusement halls and other gatherings to see to it that the patrons' health is protected from the predisposition to bad health due to unwholesome and impure air; and last, but not least, the heads of families should make it a special provision in the economy of the home that each member thereof should have the necessary amount of ventilation to insure normal factors in health maintenance, both during day and night, whether sleep or awake. With proper ventilation, we are in position to wage war against those germs that enter into the causation of such respiratory diseases as pneumonia, "Grip," tuberculosis, carya or head-colds, etc., from which so many suffer at this season of the year. If this little health talk doesn't do any more than start up interest in this question of ventilation both in public and private, the writer will feel that the effort is worth while. my efforts, but I do know that he has put my name in his paper and continues to do so every week. If his readers are liking my letters then I am going to get a raise and they will be printed every week. Speaking of the Baptist Convention of Virginia, calls to mind that they are getting ready to put up a big time in the State next summer when they are going to have a jubilee in the shape of a celebration of the 50th anniversary. This will bring together some brains, and the leaders of the denomination from all parts of the country. Every department of the work in the state will be represented and all the Baptist State organizations will come to the meeting prepared to have something to say and something to do. I am going to be there myself, and I am going to tell you about it. I must go back now and tell you a little more about Texas. I was in Dallas, and this is indeed a busy place. I was there the guest of Auditor Rodgers and his interesting family and enjoyed it to the highest. Rodgers was at one time connected with the United States Government, and was a good representative, but like many others when President Wilson walked in he had to walk out and has been out ever since, but he was so well trained that the (race had work enough to keep him busy and pay him well. In his office he is busy all the time, Miss Callie Rodgers his daughter is his bookkeeper, and Miss Daisy E. Jackson, of Mobile, has charge of his writing, and she is some writer. Her little fingers just dance over the keys of that typewriter, and then she can write as fast as you can talk and faster than I can talk. I must now turn my attention to Prairie View. This is the state school for our people, and at the head is one of the most noted men of our race, yes of our country, Prof. I. M. Terrell. He is a man well trained, and has been making things go. Right by his side is to be found his wife, and she is one of the best of wives. She is just helping her husband all that is in her. She is one of the finest musicians in the race, and for a long time had charge of the music for the public schools for Fort Worth, where Prof. Terrell remained until he had succeeded in getting the School Board to erect the finest school building in the south. Then he remained there several years, and heard a call from the state to come and take charge of the school for the training of the boys and girls of this race of ours. He is here and here good and strong. He is doing a great work in Texas. They are going to have some graduates here in the spring1 will tell you it. It will $60,000 have been appropriated for new building and others will follow. By JOHN D. WRAY Negro Boys' Farm Club Agent At this particular time I do not know a better matter to put before the farming class than the following three Club letters recently sent out. The first one deals with the fertilizing proposition which has been a big problem ever since the war began, and the last two, with the winter breaking of land — a most valuable piece of work usually neglected by the farmers. On account of the high price of potash and nitrate of soda, I am writing to advise you to save all wood ashes, especially those of the hard woods, such as oak, bickory, etc. Keep them dry until ready for use. If they get wet they will decrease in value. Save all tobacco stalks, stems and tobacco trash of any kind. S such material contains much potash. Also scrape up the dirt about your tobacco barns and where stalks have been thrown in piles. This dirt has potash in it. Go into the fence corners, woods, ditch banks and into old ditches that have not been cleaned for several years and haul from forty to fifty one-horse, or twenty-five to thirty two-horse loads of this material and spread broadcast on your acre. If you get this amount of the above material on your acre it will help supply the needed potash. It is absolutely necessary that you should do this at once. You should also keep your horse and cow stalls well littered with pine straw and oak leaves, use three four tons of good horse stable manure bread-cast on your acre and there will not be much need for nitrate of soda. If to the above you add from 300 to 500 pounds of 16% acid phosphate you will stand a good chance of making a fine crop of corn. But you must do this at once. Don't put it off. If you want to make a good crop of corn, your land should be broken with a two-horse plow in January, or early in February. Set your plow to cut a small furrow so the furrow-slice will be left on its edge. Do not harrow, but leave it this way until spring; and let the water from the winter rain soak in and there remain for your corn in dry weather. In addition to this, harmful insects, such as the cut worms, which destroy so many boys' corn last year, and other pests will be turned up to freeze or be picked up by birds. The freezing and thawing of the land will break the clods to pieces and make it soft like an ash-bank by spring. There is enough rain on the land every year to make a good crop, but it does not always come in the summer. In most cases it comes in winter, so if you will plow your land dood, it will hold this rain, and it will remain there, until summer to support your corn during the drought. The winter breaking of land doesn't only preserve moisture but it prevents the land from washing full of gullies, enables it to retain the plant food and organic matter, which would otherwise be washed away. It makes possible a most thoroughly prepared bed, renders cultivation easier and insures a better yield of corn, such as you could not expect under ordinary conditions. If you have not broken your land deep with a two-horse plow, you should do so before February the 15th, after the time, it will be too late for deep plowing. If you can't get a two-horse plow, put a small wing on a one-horse plow and run twice in the same furrow. When this is carefully done, it is nearly as good as breaking with a two-horse plow. It may seem like slow work, but it is sure to make you a good crop. A great many farmers make a serious mistake by waiting until spring and then hurriedly half break their land. Thorough preparation is absolutely necessary. For instance, suppose off your food should be half cooked, do you think you would ever grow to be a big strong man? No. It would be an impossibility. Even so, land half broken, and seed-beds half prepared, have the same effect on plants. So it is just as impossible to grow a crop on half prepared land, as it is to develop a big strong robust man on poorly cooked, or half prepared food. Watch This Rule. THE MORE THOROUGHLY YOU PREPARE YOUR LAND BEFORE PLANTING, THE BETTER CROP YOU. JJ. MAKE.

In the absence of the pastor the pulpit was filled very acceptably last Sunday by Revs. Banthorne and Billips. Many compliments have been heard on all sides upon the able sermons they preached. The teachers and students of the John T. West High School will worship here in a body this Sunday morning, the occasion being their annual mid-session sermon. Next week is to be a great one. On Monday night the large new pipe organ will be formally dedicated and the choir will render the beautiful sacred cantata, "He that Dwelleth." For more than two months the work of constructing this mammoth instrument has been going on. Now that the work is complete this church can boast of having the largest pipe organ of any colored congregation in the State. Many competent critics have expressed the opinion that this organ is beyond the average in volume and sweetness of tone. Dr. Dwight K. who heard it on his recent visit he城市, remarked that it was richer in tone than the far-famed organ in John Wanamaker's in Philadelphia. No doubt a great crowd will pay the admission fee of 25 cents to witness the auspicious opening exercises Monday night. On Friday night Dr. Robert C. Woods, president of the school at Lynchburg, will be present to address a great mass meeting on the vital issues of education and race adjustment. Everybody is welcome. No one should miss the opportunity of hearing this great thinker and speaker. ST. LUKE C. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. The annual meeting of the St. Luke Choir was held Monday night, Jan. 29, at 8:30, and the present officers were re-elected for another year. After the adjournment of the meeting the choir was ushered in an adjoining room, with tables laden with palatable delicacies. Tokens of respect and services were presented to the mother of the choir, Mrs. Charlotte Baines; the chorister, Mr. Geo. W. Foreman, and the organist, Miss A. W. Jones. Several commendable speeches were made. The guests were Rev. and Mrs. J. Albert Pamply, P. E.; Miss Mary Archer, Rev. K. R. Garrett, Mr. Bennis E. Akiss, Mr. Johnnie Williams and Mr. Walter Smith. All went to their home, joining heartily in the chorus. "We wish the choir would have their meeting every night." First United Presbyterian. The Midwinter Revival Services of the First United Presbyterian Church, corner Chapel street and Princess Anne Ave., began Wednesday evening, January 31st. On Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock, the Rev. J. Paulus of the United Christian Church, praises sitting sermon; and on Friday evening at the same hour Rev. N. D. King preached an able sermon. The meetings will continue all next week during which time Rev. J. A. Cotton, D. D., president of the Henderson Normal and Industrial Institute, Henderson, N. C., will conduct the services. Dr. Cotton is among the most able men in the United Presbyterian Church regardless of color. He is an orator of singular power. As an evangelist he has few equals. The officers and pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church are doing Norfolk a great service in bringing Dr. Cotton to the city. John M. Brown A. M. E. Church Notes. Sunday, January 28, was a blessed day with us. A large congregation waited on the Holy Ghost us Rev. Hatcher preached from John 12:21, subject: "The Quest For Jesus." This sermon was classically introduced by comparing the Quest for Jesus with other quests in the literature and history of humanity. The scene was graphically described and the story beautifully told. We were made to see and feel that the main business of the Church is to present Jesus to the world. We were urged to exhibit the spirit of Jesus when provoked, not our "Indian temper"; Jesus in business, not our worldly shrewdness; Jesus in pleasure, not a mad indulgence. At 3:30 p. m. the Sunday School celebrated its 12th anniversary. This was the largest Sunday School anniversary in the history of Norfolk as far as many prominent Sunday School workers can remember. The program was well planned and rendered. The address by Mr. Collins was a master stroke in its line. The Sunday Schools of the city responded beautifully both in presence and contribution. The church and annex were both filled, the contribution was about $25.00 in the Sunday School effort. The Sunday School Board presented Supt. Jas. W. Davis a handsome fountain pen, and the pastor paid him high compliments for his efficient and zenoid service. We thank our friends. Our church is in mourning for our late P. E., Dr. O. T. Day, who died Friday. We ask the whole city to join us in prayer for his faithful wife, Mrs. Jennie Jaeckon Day, whose loyalty and constancy to her husband is worthy of public note. The revival services will go on every Sunday at 11 a.m. Come and worship with us. Dr. Morris Conducting Rally at Grant Street Church. Crowds, enthusiasm, good fellowship, sweet singing, earnest praying, strong preaching and generous and cheerful giving marked the opening of the grand rally at Grant Street Church Sunday, when the congregation and the many friends and earnest sympathizers laid down two hundred and twenty dollars at the opening of the rally of the Grant Street Church. It is the plan of the church to build a gospel tabernacle on the lot of the boys' dormitory of the Norfolk Mission College, and the rally will continue all through the month of February. Mon- THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE day night a wonderful prayer meeting was held under Club No. 25, Miss Tassie Price, leader. Thirty-one dollars was raised, Tuesday Rev. D. Kemp, with the choir and congregation of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion, was present, Collection $27.00. Wednesday 12, Hurdy will preach. The special rally services will continue all through the month of February. Sunday night Dr. Morris will begin a series of sermons on the wonderful Book of the Revelations. This is one of the great neglected books of the Bible, seldom preached, yet it is the one book of the future, telling of the things that must shortly come to pass, and promises a special blessing to him that reads and to him that understands. A cordial welcome is extended to all visitors who attend Grant Street Church. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Rev. N. D. King preached two able sermons to large and appreciative audiences Sunday.

White, United Presbyterian Church, Master of Ceremonies, who handled his program very skillfully. Dr. Berry of St. James A. M. E. Church made the welcome address in behalf of his church. It was very inspiring. Dr. Francis also spoke in behalf of physicians of Berkley and in his address not only proved himself as a skillful physician, but as an excellent orator also. Papers were read by several ladies, Miss Coleman also recited an excellent piece. Several songs were rendered by the Unique Quartette. Several speakers also spoke at the occasion, and the installation sermon was delivered by Rev. J. J. Faulk of Union Christian Church of Norfolk. Dr. Cummings is doing an excellent work in Berkley, and is proving himself to be one of our progressive 20th century men. May God bless his efforts. The offerings were a little over $50.00.

The pastor read 5th chapter Paul's letter to the Gala, selecting as text the 22nd verse. The speaker was at his best and the sermon was soul stirring. It being our Communion Day brought out as large a crowd as we ever witnessed and the spirit of God lighted upon the whole church and lifted our hearts to joy and praises to God. Our collections were as follows: Public collection $8.14. On dues, $8.25; for charity and poor saints, $6.55; Sunday School, $2.67. Total $25.61. The audience was a large and appreciative one and the services throughout were delightfully enjoyed by all present and all departed to their homes feeling that the day had been well spent. Rev. W. R.

NATIONAL NEGRO BOOK MOVEMENT The week of Dec. 17 to 25 is national Neuro literature week, according to the decree of Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, Philadelphia. Dr. Wright has returned from an extended tour of the south, where he visited many of the schools. In addressing the Philadelphia Ministerial association recently he said: "I am amazed at the progress our people are making in the sections I visited in spite of their handicaps. "Much of this progress is due to the splendid devotion and Christian sacrifice of the teachers of the children of our race." Continuing, Dr. Wright said: "One of the handicaps of the colored child is the lack of inspirational books which tell of his own people and their achievements. Too often the boy is kept in ignorance of the splendid achievements of his race, except where the public minded teacher does extra work and puts 'race books' in his hands. In many schools I found a fair collection of books telling about the good things of the Negro race. "In many places I found pictures of distinguished Negroes on the walls of the schools. But I am sorry to say that in some places I found not a single book and not a single picture of a Negro. In one school I found children reading a biography of Thomas Dixon, Phone 3327 ANITARY LAUNDRY OYEING PLANT NONE TH COMPERES LAUNDRY OUR CLOTHES TO BE CLEAN, MCIAL—OUR WAGON'S READY Distinction Piano in The United States AN Piano MANO CO., Near Charlotte Oteinway, Chickering, Mehlin, brights at Lowest Prices Dr. the greatest toe of the Negro living, and being taught that the period when Negroes were members of the state legislature was the period of 'the rule of the robbers'. And I asked these children if they had known of a Negro senator or representative, and they could name none. This impressed upon me the need of putting Negro books in the hands of our children, and hence I have asked the public to co-operate with me in the movement to put Negro books in our private libraries, in schools, in Sunday schools. I have written over 10,000 letters, and I have had hundreds of responses." The idea of the national movement for Negro books has had the endorsement of many of the leading institutions of the country. President Duley of the A. and M. college of North Carolina, President Wilkinson of the A. and M. college, South Carolina; President Young of the A. and M. college of Florida, Professor Kelly Miller of Howard university; Presidents Imboden of J. K. Brick college, Scarborough of Witberforce university, Fountain of Morris Brown university, Mance of Allen university, Williams of Paul Quinn college, Kealing of Western university, Moton of Tuskegee; Principal's Hunt of Fort Valley Industrial and III of Cheyney institute. President Wright of the A. and M. college of Georgetown and more than a hundred others have expressed their hearty approval of the movement. Leading public school teachers, librarians, authors, musicians and other people of public interest have written Dr. Wright expressing approval and offering co-operation. Editors of many of the leading papers have commented editorially upon the movement—among them the New York News, the New Orleans Southwestern Christian Advocate, the Star of Zion, the Dallas Express, etc. The national book movement is merely, first, a request for every Negro to buy at least one book by a Negro author or a book by a white author about the Negro as a present to himself this Christmas; second, to purchase a Negro book for a friend or a boy or girl who might not be able to purchase such or inclined to do so if able; third, to encourage the putting of Negro books in public school and Sunday school libraries. To this end every public school, college and university is asked to observe Friday night, Dec. 15, as Negro literature night, when some one will speak on Negro literature and funds will be raised to purchase books for the library. Sunday, Dec. 17, is Book Sunday, when every pastor is asked to take a special collection to purchase books for the Sunday school library. During the week at the Book Concern, (31 Pine street, Philadelphia, Dr. Wright will exhibit Negro books, and at each lecture these books will also be exhibited. He has prepared an elaborate list of books of biography, fiction, religion, history, sociology, essays, juvenile, etc., and can supply this list to any who desire it. The first order for books which the Book Concern received was for the Spring Street mission, a work conducted by Quinkers for Negroes in Philadelphia, of which Ellwood Hencock, for many years secretary of the Pennsylvania Abolition society, is the leading spirit. This order was for every book on the list which Dr. Wright sent him and amounted to about $200 worth of books. Mr. Hencock gave hearty indorsement to the movement in this tangible way, because he felt that the Negro can never be the man M. Rev. C. L.

The new building and the new printing equipments are owned by the Guide Publishing Company, Inc. Mr. P. B. Young is at the head of it. His brother, Mr. H. C. Young, is the very efficient assistant manager and secretary of the company. Mrs. P. B. Young, treasurer, stands beside her husband, and because of her interest and ability, she is a power in the business. Modesty, truthfulness, honesty, promptness and hard work characterize them. These characteristics, blended with their heavenly endowment of common sense and practicality, are among the secrets of the success of the Guide Publishing Company. Look at the cut on the last page of this paper, and you will get an idea of the exterior of the new building. Inside of the door and the big plate glass window you see, is the entrance and business office. In here you are met by the embodiment of poise and business—Mrs. E. L. Young. Have you any business with or for the company? It is on the end of her fingers. Both you and your business are cordially welcomed. In the next room to your right, you are editorially received by the editor-in-chief—Mr. P. B. Young, who is always glad to see you. In the next room, you find the assistant editor and secretary, Mr. H. C. Young. Like the others, he is too busy to talk, except business. I did not understand for what the next and last room is used, unless it is for the "Printer's Devil"—the man who makes all the errors and mistakes in the paper. Out into the big room, there are the many job, book, and news presses, from which we get the "Guide Quality" printing. In here they also print anything from a card to an excursion, or a circus bill. I noticed some ten or twelve employees, and was talk that they worked regularly. These YOUNG men come from the old stock. Their father, Mr. W. F. Young, is an old newspaper man. He is still active, and smiling at the success of his sons. It was last Saturday, when I went down to Norfolk and learned all, and more, of what I have said. I congratulate the Guide Publishing Co. for its most admirable success. A Business Change It is no longer "W. H. Crocker & Co., Undertakers and Funeral Directors," but "Crocker & Boykin." The deed has been recorded, showing that Mr. E. A. Boykin, formerly manager of the "Franklin Burial Co," Franklin, Va., has bought a one-half interest in the W. H. Crocker & Co., and is now associated with Mr. Crocker in the undertaking business at 123 E. Washington street, this city. Mr. Crocker has been in the business for the last fifteen years, and is well known in this State and North Carolina. So much so, that when it comes to dying, his name is a household word. And this is true in other lines of business that affect the industrial, educational and the moral uplift of the Negro. Mr. Boykin is a licensed embalmer, and for the last six years, has had charge of the Franklin Burial Co. He took charge of it when it was nothing and was itself about to be buried. During the six years, he made it a successful paying enterprise. There, he proved himself to be a wise conductor of business, constant in adversities, adroit, skillful and capable of doing small and large business. Like many others who have found that their capabilities demanded larger fields, he stold out his interest and came to Suffolk where he finds that he can undertake larger undertakings. Suffolk is always willing and ready to receive men and women, who can and will do something. While the great people of Franklin are grieving over Mr. Boykin leaving them. We are rejoicing of his coming, and are extending to him a most cordial welcome. And with him, we all have only the very best wishes for equally as good, if not better, a success for his successor, the intrepid Mr. W. M. Johnson. For we learn that he, too, can do things. See this page for the new advertisement of Crocker & Boykin, Undertakers & Funeral Directors. Stockholders' Meeting. The stockholders of the Tidewater Fair Association held a very interesting meeting in Crocker's Hall last Wednesday, January 24th. It was one of the most largely attended in the history of the association. Fully two-thirds of the stock was represented. Business men from all over the State were present, and the meeting was almost a love feast. Our very able member of the General Assembly, Col. R. L. Brewer, delivered a very able address on "Educational Efficiency," which was acceptable to all the members. He placed strong stress on just what the association was prepared to hear. He favorably impressed that among the things most needed by the Negro is a practical business education. Not only for a few only, but for all. And that the real white man stands willing and ready to assist him in obtaining it. Col. Brewer spoke along other lines of practical education. The members renewed their intentions of making the association a greater success. They declared that whatever indebtedness that may exist, they stand ready to wipe it out. The report of the secretary, Dr. E. L. H. Rance, showing that the past year was the greatest in the life of the association, and that a dividend of 11% was declared, brought the meeting to its feet. In fact, it was the climax. It was asserted upon the floor that if others did not buy the remaining few shares at once, the association would buy them, but the door was left open for those who would buy within the next few months. The following board of directors were re-elected: Attorney W. H. Land, Norfolk, Va.; Dr. J. W. Pierce, Dendron, Va.; H. E. Smith, Capiron, Va.; J. W. Ricks, Courtland, Va.; T. L. G.
