MUTUAL BANK'S RAPID GROWTH PORTSMOUTH INSTITUTION HAS HANDLED MORE THAN $200,000.00 OF NEGROES' MONEY IN ITS BRIEF EXISTENCE—RESOURCES QUADRUPLED IN ONE YEAR. The splendid growth and efficient management of the Mutual Savings Bank, Inc., of Portsmouth was brought out in the annual meeting of the stockholders held at Tidewater Building on Monday evening, February 8th. A large and enthusiastic gathering of stockholders heard the reports of the officers and directors of the bank. The report of the directors showed the following highly interesting facts in the growth and development of the bank: In its one year of existence the bank has handled more than $200,000.00 deposited by colored people. Its resources have increased from $10,774.70 on opening day (January 11, 1916) to $40,700.66 on the day of the meeting. The bank has loaned out more than $45,000.00 during the year and has not lost a dollar, nor has legal proceedings been instituted to collect a single note. Contrary to all expectations the bank has not only paid its own expenses but has net earnings of over $3,000.00. The Christmas Savings Club of 1917 has threebled in membership the 1916 club and though little more than a month has passed the 1917 club has nearly one-half as much money as the 1916 club said out. The bank has started a School Savings Bank with the idea of teaching children thrift, frugality and industry and more than 2,000 have enrolled as depositors. A unique feature of the plan is that the children were given regular pass books and deposit slips. The report clearly indicated that Portsmouth and outlying districts have recognized the need of a progressive and substantial racial banking institution and that the Mutual Savings Bank is admirably filling this need. The confidence placed in the officers and directors of the bank by the citizens of the community is attested by the splendid growth of the enterprise. The equipment of the Mutual Savings Bank is strictly modern in every particular. It includes the latest improved burglar and fire-proof vault, covered by burglar and fire insurance. The officers of the bank are fully bonded to the bank pays four per cent interest on savings deposits. The entire board of directors was re- elected as follows: A. E. Bass, Levi C. Brown, M. O. Bullock, Jos. J. Copland, A. F. Felton, O. C. Jones, J. K. Yules, Julius Mason, Jas. Terry, Soloman Vann, Jr., W. H. Willis. The officers are: J. F. Proctor president; J. S. Jones, cashier; Thos W. Newbie, secretary of board; G. W. Brandon, vice-president. Y. M. C. A. NEWS. During the month of January State Secretary J. H. McGrew and Rev. N. D. King, addressed the open air meeting at Lambert's Point. Dr. Cotton of Henderson, N. C., spoke to about 300 men at the Point Wednesday noon this week. President Melvin E. Diggs spoke to the men at the building last Sunday afternoon, subject: "Catching Men." His discourse proved to be a heart to heart talk which made a deep impression on all who were present. "Is it hard to live a Christian life?" will be debated at the Y. M. C. A. at 4:30 p. m. this Sunday. The affirmative will be defended by Messrs. M. Davis and D. T.

ASHEVILLE A PROGRESSIVE YEAR FOR THE YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE. (By J. H. Hamilton). Asheville, N. C. The oldest meeting of the members of the Y. M. I. met in the reading room Tuesday evening, January 30, at 9 P. M. Scripture lesson was read by Rev. C. B. Dusenberry. Prayer, Mr. N. Murrough, after which annual report was read by general secretary, which showed that much progress has been made in all the departments of the work. This report was followed by the treasurer's report, which was very encouraging. Owing to the fact that the Auditing Committee was not ready to report, I have been asked to withhold the figures until next week, and as there has been some donations made to the work that has not yet been placed in the hands of the board, a full account will be given next week. At the meeting there being five directors to be elected or re-elected, one deceased and one resigned, it was necessary to elect seven members this year. The board consists of fifteen members, five are elected each year for three years. Mr. Alexander Blackwell, the oldest member on the board, although he has been very sick for about 5 months, and it is not expected that he will ever get well, was re-elected, as an expressive commendation of his faithfulness to the work. Mr. Blackwell is one of the founders of the Y. M. I., and has done more actual work for it than any man that has been on the board. The other members elected as follows: Messrs. James Greenleaf, Thos. Oglesby, Martin, Stanley Forney, John Baird, Jr., and John Thompson. After the meeting of this board, which will take place soon, we will give you the exact figures showing the progress that has been made in the last twelve months. A rising vote of thanks was given Mr. Perry Hempill, president, and his board for what they had done in the past year. Mr. U. S. Reynolds of New York City, is in the city. Mr. Reynolds is engaged in community center work among our people in New York. He expects to be in Asheville for several months. Mrs. Alice Steel of 28 Sassafras St., is in a critical condition at this writing. Her doctor has lost all hope for her. The Stewardess Board of Hopkins Chapel A. M. E. Church met at the residence of Mrs. Lizzie McDonald, 15 Sassafras street, Thursday, February 1st. After the business transaction, a very interesting talk on the work of the Stewardess board in the church was made by Mrs. Billinger, of Madison, Wis. Refreshments were served. All seem to enjoy themselves. Mrs. Billinger, of Madison, Wis., is in the city stopping with her sister, Mrs. J. R. Nelson, on Ridge street. NEGRO SCHOOLS GET LARGE SUMS.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, FEBRUARY 10, 1917 SOLDIERS OF FRANCE THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S LIBRARY THE BOXING COMPANY This interesting photograph shows o war, the great leveller, has brought together all classes of society from many parts of the earth to labor in a common interest. These "two soldiers SOME STUDY NEE LURE GIRL With Factories and Offices Opening Must Offer Regular Hours, Plent A Great Deal of Human Feeling Servants. SOME STUDY NEEDED TO LURE GIRLS TO KITCHENS With Factories and Offices Opening Their Doors to Her, Housewives Must Offer Regular Hours, Plenty of Amusements and, Above All, A Great Deal of Human Feeling if They Expect to Get Domestic Servants. (Zoe Beckley, in New York Evening Mail.) A woman I know put an advertisement in a paper recently for a "general houseworker." The dear, optimistic soul had often used that plan before and been swamped with applicants. This time she had two. Both were middle-aged. One said she might come for $40 a month if there was no washing or window-cleaning or sweeping or door-answering or this or that or the other. The second, after asking many questions, sniffed and decided "she didn't want to work anybody." My poor friend is still looking. And while I am sorry for her, I almost don't blame girls for their over-increasing peeviness against domestic service. The average houseworker has about the driest job on earth and the longest hours. Something's got to be done to brighten the hired girl's job, or there soon won't be "no such animile" as a hired girl. Miss Eva D. Bowles, colored secretary of the National Young Women's Christian Association, thinks she knows the answer, or part of it anyhow. She says it is both up to the "lady" and up to the "girl"; about fifty-fifty. First the lady and the girl must learn to understand each other. Then they must get together and do a little teamwork. Miss Bowles and her army of assistants all over the U. S. A. are ready to make the colored girl the ideal domestic helper. She has always been pretty good at it, but she needs efficiencyizing. The Y. W. C. A. will do its share toward this. Will you, dear lady of the house, do yours? Factories and Offices Open. Will you, for instance, consider more carefully the social needs of your very human little maid? Will you give her regular hours such as she would have in an office or factory? Will you be democratic enough to perform a few simple household services yourself, like passing the lemonade and cake, or attending the door or hushing the baby, so that Jennie won't have to wait up till heaven knows when, on the chance that you may need her for something before midnight? Will you take time enough to explain things to her and show her how you want them done? And talk to her sometimes in a comfort, human way? Will you? If you won't and don't—now here's a treat—all the nice, willing, good-natured, sunny-hearted, deft-handed colored girls will go straight into factories and offices which are opening their doors to them now for the first time. And them—with immigration stopped—where will you be! "A change in the whole housework system," says Miss Bowles, "has simply got to come. The archeal idea, of all sorts of hours must go. A new schedule based on business standards, must come." "But will lovely ladies who wear thousand-dollar gowns and live in million-dollar houses be willing to wait on themselves and do the chores after 7 o'clock?" I asked doubtfully. "Million-dollar households do not suffer from the servant-problem," answered Miss Bowles with a glint of the whitest teeth on earth. "Where there is a servants' hall with cooks and maids and footmen and parlor- To of France," one a woman munition worker, the other a French Senegalese private, are shown carrying boxes of ammunition from the machines to the point of transportation to the army bases.

BOWLES. girls and chauffeurs, the help has plenty of companionship. It is the middle class homes where only one or two or three servants are kept that have trouble getting and keeping them. There are millions of such homes. Those are the households I have my professional eye upon—the households I want to equip with my colored girls from the North and from the South." "Haven't southern colored girls the name of being a bit slow and not too fond of hard work?" "That's because of their mistresses," stoutly defended Miss Eva. "Southern women to a large extent keep the old traditions of slavery days. There were so many servants then that little service was expected of each. Some of them grew lazy—why wouldn't they, climate and everything considered? "They need training and livening up! This we are prepared to do through our branch association in every section. I have worked out a system which seems to answer well. After fitting a girl as suitably as possible into a situation, we follow up her work, with the co-operation of her employer. "Her 'lady' finds her, for instance, excellent in parlor work, neat, quick, obliging and thorough. But she's weak on making beds, say. Or in making biscuits! So we arrange for that girl to visit the local branch and be made expert on the things she lacks." She Is Eager to Learn. "We find that a better way than to have regular domestic science classes. It is more practical, more time-saving, and allows the girl to be earning wages while she is being taught what she doesn't know. Experience shows us the southern colored girl is eager to learn and be efficient, if it is made worth her while. By that I mean very STATE TEACHERS WILL CONVENE NEXT MONTH Teachers Meeting In Roanoke Promises To Be Mammouth Affair. Notwithstanding there has been unusual interest shown in the meetings held by the teachers during recent years, the one to be held in Roanoke, March 7, 8, and 9th, promises to be the largest and best yet. There is an extensive program of live subjects to be presented by able men and quite a number of men of national reputation have consented to deliver additional Among these are Mr. Thomas Jesse Jones of the U. S. Bureau of Education; Prof. Alfred L. Hall-Quest, Professor of Psychology in the University of Virginia; Major Allen Washington, President of the Negro Organization Society, and President J. D. Eggleston of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, and a number of others. The following are some of the topics to be discussed: "The Future of Secondary Schools for Negroes in Virginia." "A Code of Ethics for Secondary Schools." "Building Loyalty in a Student Body." The above topics are particularly interesting for teachers in Secondary Schools. Among the subjects of a more general interest are the following: "How far should Vocational Training be made a part of our Educational Program." "Similarities and Differences in the Thinking Processes of the Child and the Adult." "Making the School the Social Center." Elaborate preparations are being made by the people of Roanoke to entertain the Association. The City School Board, and the Chamber of Commerce have both made substantial contributions for this purpose and the teachers of the city and the county have a fund which has already exceeded $109.00 to be used toward the entertainment. When the Negro Organization Society met in Roanoke inst fall, aside from the liberal contribution made by the teachers of Commerce, no of the most prominent men of Roanoke gave the use of their automobiles for a half day for an outing for the Association. This shows the spirit of Roanoke and gives an indication of what teachers may expect by way of entertainment. largely the attitude the white woman takes toward her. If this attitude is kindly and friendly and without prejudice regarding tradition or color, the girl's natural sunniness of disposition and willingness to serve come out and develop. "Experience has taught me also," smiled Miss Bowles, "that all girls are the same the world over, no matter what the color of their skin. They all crave life and companionship, pretty clothes and a chance to be happy. The colored girl is even more social than her white sister. She simply must have friends and good times. "The foreign girls who used to have almost a monopoly of domestic service, were more content to drudge and save. They had no gaiety of nature, so marked love of music as the colored girl has. "But the war has now cut off the supply of these immigrants. This is the chance for our native Negro girls to come into their own. I think we owe it to them, and I know they will repay our interest." We were sitting in Secretary Bowles's sunny office at 600 Lexington avenue (she says she picked out an extra sunny one because some of her problems were so "dark"). While she talked, I was thinking how cruel it is that she had so often to use the word "prejudice" in connection with herself and the thousands of eager girls she so ably represents. College-bred from Oberlin, Ohio), and highly intelligent, sensitive and alert, eager and capable, energetic and thoroughly equipped, delicate-featured, tastefully gowned, music-voiced and gentle-mannered, Eva Bowles is a striking sample of what the colored girl inherently is. What she shall become seems largely up to us—and our prejudices. Factories and offices are fast losing whatever prejudice they may have nurtured against the colored girl. In St. Louis, the Armour meat-packing industry has recently employed some 400 of her. Never before have they had any but white help. One hundred more have gone into a box factory in the same city and the number is to be increased. In New York City several fibre factories have taken them on in considerable numbers. And the employment departments of the W. Y. C. A. have difficulty in filling the demand for colored stenographers in offices and shops. Employers say "They don't waste time flirting, and they do their work quite as well as the white girls." Four thousand colored girls have been placed in employment in families and elsewhere by Miss Bowles's department in the past year. "Give the colored girl a real charge," plends their representative carnely, "first by trying to understand her. Second, by arranging her hours on business basis. Third, by helping further movements for her entertainment, education and social life—music clubs, reading rooms, etc. And fourth, by taking a reasonable amount of time and trouble to teach her. We, on our part, will stimulate the" PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS. THEY DESERVE YOUR PATRONAGE. NEGRO EXODUS GROWS SERIOUS MISSISSIPPI EPISCOPAL NEGRO CHURCH APPEALS FOR BETTER SCHOOLS AND HOUSES TO KEEP RACE AT HOME. Jackson, Miss.—With approaching spring the exodus of Negroes to the North will take on huge proportions, it is believed, and the responsible members of both races in the South are seeking ways and means to stem the tide which is draining the South of much of its labor. It is recognized in some quarters that the Negroes, by showing a desire to leave in great numbers for other parts, take into their hands a very effective weapon against certain condition in this section. It is believed that if these conditions could be remedied, the Negro would continue to reside in the South, in spite of tempting offers from other quarters. However, those of more sober judgment do not see any immediate improvement in these objectionable conditions, and hold that the South will never remedy them of her own free will; she must first be shaken into a realization of the true state of affairs by threats to her very existence along agricultural and industrial lines. In a way, the exodus of Negroes from some sections is a strike on a huge and more or less disorganized scale. Along with white employers of Negro labor, and the press, prominent Negro leaders are, of course, doing everything possible to solve the problem before conditions become serious. A session of the Mississippi Episcopal Church (Negro) recently was held in Jackson, and a committee appointed by the conference to report upon conditions relative to the exodus of Negro labor, issued a statement in which the following statements were made: "They are leaving with hope to better their material condition where they are going; receive better wages for their labor; better school facilities; better to live in; better protection of life; and generally better treatment as a race. "But where our people have acquired homes and other property, in the South it would be well for them to first consider, where they are going and what they are to receive for wages, before sacrificing their property for a mere pittance to go North. But, however, that is a matter they have a right to decide for themselves. "We believe that, if the better class of white people in the South would use their influence to bring about a condition that the colored people would receive better wages for their labor, better houses for them to live in on the farms and other places, better school facilities, justice before the courts and protection against mob violence, lynching and the burning of human beings, the wholesale migration of people to the North would be greatly increased." We appeal to the Governor and Legislature to provide agricultural high schools, experiment stations, farm demonstrators and better school facilities, generally for the Negroes of Mississippi.

HIGH HONORS PAID LATE MRS. JONES HIGH HONORS PAID LATE MRS. JONES By V. K. HOMAS. New Orleans. - Mrs. Valena Jones, nee MacArthur, wife of Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, who died in this city in January, was one of the most widely known Christian women in New Orleans and the south. Mrs. Jones had been ill for the past six months. Although she suffered greatly, she bore it with noble Christian fortitude, ex- emplifying exalted faith in Jesus Christ. In witness of the warm affection in which the deceased was held beautiful floral offerings in abundance were sent by individuals, churches, clubs and various societies. Mrs. Jones was a zealous church worker, capable as a public schoolteacher, a model and lovable wife, mother and friend. Funeral services were held at Trinity church. It was the largest gathering that has assembled to pay tribute to the memory of any person at New Orleans for many years. Among the noted men who offered touching tributes of respect were Dr. ```markdown ``` THE LATE MRS. R. E. JONES. J. W. E. Bowen of Gammon Theological seminary, Dr. M. W. Dogan of Wiley university, Professor J. S. Clark of Southern university, Professor J. R. Reynolds of Gilbert academy, Dr. L. G. Penn, secretary, Freedmen's Aid society; Dr. W. H. Logan of Houston, Tex.; District Superintendent Valcour Chapman, and the Rev. Alfred Lawless. Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield of the Methodist Episcopal church made the principal address, which was a touching word picture of how Mrs. Jones had set the example of living for all who would live a right beautiful Christian life and deserve the reward of eternal happiness. These testimonials of the place Mrs. Jones held in the hearts of the many people who knew her were tributes to the memory of one who really deserved the acknowledgements from those among whom she lived. Her achievements were of the character that meant more for the foundation of civic life with the home of love and duty to it as its inspiration than all the public achievements in the world without this foundation could deserve. It would be a neglect of fine material and of a fitting opportunity for lessons on the beautiful in womanhood, motherhood and wifitness if a book portraying the model character of this woman is not written and placed for study and contemplation in the homes of the many who need the inspiration that a study of such a life would give. She left in going to her reward two daughters, a son, a mother, a brother and a husband who had done all in his power to prolong her life, though she was sick unto death for months. Without trying or thinking of doing so Mrs. Jones gave living proof that there is much in the Christian faith, much to live for in it, much to depend upon in it, much to draw courage from in it, much to bear and suffer pain in cheerfulness in it and, most of all, much to meet and face death without feeling the sting of it. She proved that with the Christian faith as staff and standard it was not so hard after all to bear the torturing clutches of pain night and day. "My suffering is great, but Christ, my Redeemer, mailed to the cross and hanging from the nails in his hands and feet on Calvary for my redemption and salvation suffered much more than I suffer. I should not complain of my suffering or think that my lot is hard when I know that my Lord was crucified and died on the cross for me. My husband has loved and has helped me with a love that was tender and true from the day he first pledged me he'd love me till today, when with all his sympathy no more he can do for me."

Frissell, principal Hampton institute; J. H. Butler, assistant secretary Savannah League on Urban Conditions, and others. In presenting a program of work for the Negro in cities Forrester B. Washington of Detroit in part said: "We are aware of the fact that the need for recreational centers is a hundredfold more important in a northern community than in the south, because of the shorter hours of labor in the north and the migrant's absence from the restraining influence of the community that is acquainted with him. With this in view we have organized a league of young men whose duty it is to get among the newcomers and invite them to one of the public school buildings each week to enjoy a pleasant evening with the very best class of people." Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, speaking on "The Negro's Industrial Opportunity," said in part: "Booker Washington said the colored people were the only ones to come to this country by special invitation; that they were our guests. I think that this is true and that for this reason the white people of this country ought especially to look after the colored race. There is another reason for it. Every once in awhile we have commissioners coming from Italy to look after Italians, some one comes from Japan to look after the Japanese, but no one ever comes from the 'dark continent' to look after the representatives of the colored race." On the subject of "The Futility of the 'Strong Arm' Methods to Stop Migration From the South" J. H. Butler of Savannah, Ga., said: "There is hardly a day that somebody does not write to us asking us how may they go north. The other day a woman whose husband is making $19 per week in the north came to our office for advice as how to get north. I tried to persuade her to return home because of her large family and to wait until spring. She replied that she would rather die than to return to the county in which she lived, one of the worst in Georgia." L. Hollingsworth Wood read a letter from Governor Stanley and requested the body to pass the following resolution: Whereas, Testimony offered at this conference has shown that lynching and fear of mob violence have led to a stimulation of migration, almost depopulating some communities, be it Resolved, That Governor A. O. Stanley of Kentucky be heartily congratulated for his loyalty to his oath of office at great personal risk of saving a Negro prisoner from lynching, the administration of the law from disgrace and the federal court officials from threats of mob violence at Murray, Ky. Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, official) organ of the A. M. E. church, said in part: "Colored people do not know their economic power, and the white people will not admit it. When they leave their very moving, although unorganized, proves both to the Negro and to the white man that the Negro is an essential factor in the development of the south. It further proves to the thoughtful Negro, if all of this stir can be made by an unorganized race movement, what can be done by an organized movement." E. K. Jones, executive secretary of the urban league, proposed a plan for organizing work in cities throughout the country, such movements to aid the migrating Negroes to adjust themselves to their new environment and in improving the conditions of Negroes in the south.

Saturday, February 10, 1917 THE DIMINISHING VOTE OF SOUTHERN WHITE MEN ‘The Washington correspondent of the Virginian-Pilot directs attention to the fact that the very small vote east by Southern white men in any given election has brought about a condition which enables a Republican Senator like Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire to throw out the threat to prove for the reduction of Southern representation because of the dis- franchisement of a large part of its ‘Afro-American citizenship. The cor- respondent pointed yout that the Southern Democrat considers he has done his duty when he has indicated his choice at the primaries and neg- ects to cast his vote at the regular election; the fact being that it is the vote cast at the polls that counts in the election of candidates and is made of record for that purpose, while no official record for apportion purposes is made of the choice of primary vot- ing. ‘As the correspondent puts it, “the trouble is that the white people of the South are not voting as they ought to do in the regular clection after they have voted in the precedent primar- ies." He says again, “Really, the only hope of permanent relief from the embarrassment existing is for the Southern white man to show more in- terest in the general election.” We are- disposed, however, not to take any stock in any threat made by the Republicans that they will make fan honest effort to reduce Southern representatives in Congress, because of the disfranchisement in part or qhole of the Afro-American citizen- jain. All thnt is needed is a Congres- Gionai investigation of Southern clec- tion laws and methods of conducting elections. As n matter of fret, the election laws of the Southern States should be uniform as to time, place and manner of voting, and as to the qualifications of voters. We do not believe that reduction of Southern representation in Congress would meet the election conditions pre- vailing in the Southern States; for from it; what is nceded is an investi- gation, far-renehing and searching, in- to Southern State Inws, primary and genernl, and the high handed methods employed by Southern election offi- cials on election day. To reduce Southern representation under existing circumstances would give the sanction of Federal authority to disenfranchise any part of its citi- zenship for any cause whatever, not justified by the Constitution. Once sanction this sort of thing and there would be no end of it, All this would be in violation of the Constitution, as “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, are citizens of the United States and of the State in which they reside”; farther, “no States shall make or en- force any law that will abridge or deny the right of any citizen.” This is the substance of the Constitutional guar- anty. ‘There is only one way to do a thing 80 that it will stay done, and not vio- Jate the eternal verities; and the Gov- ernment of the United States will be Ab cross purposes with itself until it makes uniform the election laws of all the States without discrimination against any race or group of the citi- zenship.

The affairs of life have been so ar- ranged for mankind that “the woman in the case” must always be looked for in any critical situation. "This ap- plies to the large as well as to the small affairs, and to public as well as to private affairs, as woman, in this county und Europe, has become a pub-. lic character, competing with mere man in every relation of thought and ef- fort ‘and contesting his inherited or delegated right to “boss the job.” And this reminds us of contentions of an Irish couple who were constantly up before the police magistrate for dis- orderly conduct. “Patrick,” said the magistrate, “I am tired of imposing fines and prison sentences on you and Biddy. It does no good. Now, I am going to suspend judgement and put both of you on your good behavior. You two are one.” |_ “That's just it, your honor,” suid Patrick; “that’s just it. It's beenuse we two are one, and that I can’t make Biddy understand that I am the one, that we are always being dragged be- fore your honor, and unless you ean convinee Biddy that 1 am the one, it will be no use to suspend the sen- tence.” Now, the woman in the ease under consideration is Jeannette Rankin, of Montana, who has been clected to be a Representative in the Sixty-fifth Congress. ‘That is an epoch-marking event in the history of the Nation, whether for weal or woe remains to be seen. The point is that the Demo- crats have had the unpleasant fact forced upon them that they will not control of the Sixty-fifth Congress as far as the House, There will be 215 Democrats and an equal number of Republicans, with six Independents, among whom Congressman Jeannette Rankin is counted. ‘The six Indepen- dents hold the balance of power be- tween the two parties. How will they use it? is bothering: the politicians of both parties, along with that other question, will Congressman Jeannette Rankin stay classified with the six In- dependents, and if she docs, will she “remain put,” or undertake to boss the whole business, or mix things if she cant? It is an interesting condition of af- fairs, more interesting for the Demo- crats than for the Republicans, and more so for the lone woman in Con- stess than for all the others concern- ed. ‘The people of the country will wateh her carcer with interest and none will do it more closely than the Afro-American women readers of the Journal and Guide, who may some day be able to elect one of their own num- ber to be a Representative in Con- gress. WAR'S WRINKLED FRONT. It is to be regretted that the ruth- less methods of warfare employed by Germany and her allies since the be- ginning of the horrified war in Eu- rope, violating all of the accepted principles of war and international comity, have culminated in a declara- tion by Germany to impose her law of the seas upon all neutral shipping wherever found, The marine and aerial warfare waged by Germany since the begin- ning of the war has outraged all of the principles of warfare wherever obtaining, in that it has taken the war to unarmed shipping on the high seas ‘and to noncombatants in the towns and cities of the beligerents, without re- gard to the humanities, and without precedent except in the most barbar- ous warfare, It is not true, as the old saying hath it, that “all is fair in love and war.” There is nothing fair in love or war that does not“carry with it the Justice that is reasonable and the rea- sonableness that is justice. When Germany and her allies bring war to the gates of the United States and destroy our erafts of peaceful commerce, and does the same thing to the commerce of other neutrals, it is perfectly justifiable that we declare war on such ruthless brigand and call upon other neutrals to do the same thing; not in the effort to,crush Ger- many, but to protect themselves and to compel Germany and her allies tc take their proper places among the European powers and: not the magni- fied place they seek to occupy. Evidently we are being constrained to go to war without the desire to do so, and when constrained to do so, we should net withdraw from it unti those who constrained us to do it have been made to recognize the co-equal rights of others, which begin where their rights cease, We all appreciate the splendid ef- lorts President Wilson has made to pre- seme peace between the Unitec States and the beligerenta of Europe; often it has seemed to us at the ex. pense of honor and self respect, an¢ we are sure that the patience of the nation is exhausted with the outrages committed by*Cermany in their viola. tion of all the lawe of warfare, The German Kaiser is in precisely the same position that the Emperos Napoleon was a hundred years ago, when it required the combined: forces es Europe to subdue him: and banish him for all time to the bleak and bar- ren rocks of St. Helend. When ene- mies of mankind such as Napoleon and Kaiser Wilhelm appear among men, it is the right of mankind to unite to subdue them and to. confine them’ where they cannot have the power to disturb the pence of the world. Cultivate the saving habit. Learn the direct way to a savings bank, and don’t forget it. Save the pennies and the dollars will save themselves. ‘The tean years usually follow the fat years. Those who forget the fact have to pay for doing so. 7 PUBLIC OPINION: S annnntoimanntinennnnentioninnnmnnt Classes Among Negroes. In an interesting article in the cur- rent number of the Southern Work- man, a former Fellow of the Phelns- Stokes Foundation at the University of Virginia, who has made a. serious study of the condition of the Negroes in the county in which the University is studied, classifies them as entrepre- neurs, tradesmen, professional men ‘and women, laborers, and domestic servants. “The tendency,” he says, “toward a ‘group economy’ is becom- ing more and more apparent with the development of Negro. life in. the Sauth. For the full development. of this condition, howeyer, it is a. corol- ary that the masses must be efficient producers, becuse it is always on this ‘clement of the population that the pro- fessional, and other classes must ult’ mately rely. We have seen how, while many of the Negro landowners are taking advantage of the oportunitics of the soil, there are many who, be- cause of ignorance or insufficiently high standards, are not efficient pro- ducers. The problem, thea, is to raise the standards and then raise efficiency to a degree cupable of satisfying these standards.”—Southern Workman, PRESIDENT WILSON ON ‘THE COMMUNITY FORUM Washington, D: C.—The school- house as the community forum will be Prosident Wilson’s topic at the Park View School, Washington, on Lincoln's Birthday, February 12." The Park View School is known as the first schoolhouse in the city of Washington designed and constructed for use as a community center. ‘This school was also the first in Washington to be used for a community Thanksgiving cele- bration. ‘The ‘movement for increasing the use of public schoolhouses as commun- ity conters and forums of citizenship has been endorsed by Ex-Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and hos repeated- ly received President Wilson's enthu- siastic support. Jn 1911, when he was Governor of New Jersey. he gave the opening address at the First National Conference on Community Center De- velopment held at Madison, Wiscon- sin, On that occasion he said: “It is necessary that a simple means be found by which, by an interchange of points of view, we may get together, for the whole process of modern poli- ties, the whole process of modern life, is a process in which we must exclude misunderstandings, exclude _ hostili- ties, bring all men’ into common coun- cil, und so discover what is the com- mon interest, This is the problem of modern life." Pointing to the oppor- tunity which the common schoolhouses offer to answer this commen need, the President said, “They the public buildings. ‘They are conveniently dis- tributed. ‘They belong to the commu- nities. "They furnish ideal places in which to assemble and discuss public affairs. They are just what we need.” According to Major J. B. Merwin, of Middlebury, Conn., President Lincoln addressed a community gathering in a Washington public schoolhouse during his administration. So far as the rec- ords of the Washington Board of Edu- cation show, no President since Lin- coln has appeared under precisely these friendly, characteristic Ameri- can, neighborhood auspices, 30 DY] YOUR CHILD'S EYES MAY Eye is main Avenue of education, and’ parents should see child’s cyes ure not defective.

One of the most interesting sessions in the history of the Scotlund County Farmers’ Tri-Annual Conference was held at Laurinburg, N. C., February 2, 1917. Farmers, school teachers, preachers and nearly every other class of men were present. Mr. Stewart, president of the conference was sick so Prof. B. M. MeDutfie, president ex- officio presided. After the usual pre- liminaries, he presented Jno. . Wray, Negro Boys’ Farm Club Agent of North Carolina, under the auspices of the State and "National Government. Hie made a few brief remarks and then introduced Professor A. [. Mebane of A: & 'T. College at Greens- boro, N. C., who gave a most interest- ing address on the elfect of the migra- tion of the Negro to the North, be- fore and after the war is over. "The speaker felt very reluctant, as’ many other prominent Negroes do, about a part of the Negroes who are yoing North. A great many of them belong to a floating class that does not reflect credit upon the race, and in view of the fact that there are so many of this class in the exodus, and so few of the better type, there is grave danger that the Northern white men may pet the wrong idea of the race. The Ne- kroes of the higher type are staying in the South. ‘They are engaged in farming and educational work and for that reason, are likely to remain in the South. ’So there is the strongest possibility that the Northern white man will never meet but a very few of the high class Negroes among the laborers they are employing; therefore a mistaken idea of the real worth and high stading of our people is almost inevitable, Another thought was, in case there should be, as there most likely will, a great influx of the European paupers to this country after world-war is over, who would consider it an oppor tunity to work for one-half, and in some cases one-third of the wages the migrators are now receiving. What would become of those Negroes, they have not been trained to live under such conditions as these paupers an¢ therefore “could not compete with them. If this sHould be the case, there seeming prosperity would be like Sonah’s gourd vine which grew up it one night, only to be cut down by a worm before the morning sun hac risen, ‘The political, civil and social con- ditions of the South were considere: and the effect of such an exodus or their improvement, but our final con. clusion was, that the Negro had bet. ter stay in the South, Federal Farm Loan Association Or- ganized. At this point, we took up the Ped: eral Loan Association. Every phast ef the organization was explained There were representatives of twe local organizations present. Nashville community with $95,000 subscribed and Oak Hill with over $100,000. From these two, the officers for a county organization were chosen and it was decided that the business of the entir county would be transacted througt the central organization, whose tota subscription would amount to abou $200,000. ‘This Federal Loan Association i |the salvation of the Negro farmer Many of them have good farms, bu ‘not the means to operate them’ suc cessfully. Some need fences, ditching and tilling, while others are in need o heavier teams, better equipments ir the way of machinery, improved stoc! and better buildings and nearly all o them are greatly in need of libert; from financial slavery. ee RR Te aa There are those who own their land and have to bend on their knees to the merchants for food and fertilizer to run their farms. The prices on such material usually advances as the crop progresses. That is, if the crop is good their accounts will be inereased to the consumptive point in order to keep these fellows under their thumbs, or should the crop be a failure the poor fellow is either sold out or tied with cords of sympathy that fasten more securely the farmer and. his family. Why They Leave The Farm.! Although they toil on for years with the hope of liberty which’ they receive a great many times, only. at the hideous doors of death, ‘The chil- dren have grown up in ignorance and discouragement and prefer anything to the farm, away they go to the towns and cities, many of them to work the public roads for the comfort of the automobile driver or to be de- moralized on the public wosks, either of which means degradation to the race and loss to the State of one of its most precious asscts, good citizen. ship, Who is responsible for all of this?

PROCTOR, Pres. J. &. JONES, Curbier THOS. W. NEWBIE, Sec'y G, W. BRAMDON, V, Pres. SS as 5 bs ef ™ Heating of Residences. | In close asscciation and of equal importance with ventilation, is the question of heating dwellings and other buildings during the cold months of the year. In regard to this matter there is a vast amount of indifference as to what constitutes the proper tem- perature to be observed in heating houses for best results. If one would make an investigation, from house to house, he would find as many rules laid down for heating, and as many stages or degrees of heat as there are houses and members accupying them, To some there is too much heat, to others there is too little, and to a third class it is just bout right. Here is vight where a standard _ principle should be adopted that could be em- ployed in each elass, with their pe- ‘culiarities to heat, to xet the best pos- sible results on a uniform basis. The methods and means of heating need not be emphasized here. It mat: ters not what form of a heating sys- tem we employ, the thing with which we should be concerned is the degree of heat to which our bodies should be subjected when indoors. For practical purposes and in keeping with normal health conditions, the temperature in- doors should range between G5 and 7 degrees. This seems to keep the body in such a responsive attitude that when one goes out of dvors, he car adjust himsclé advantageously to the sudden change from warmth to cold and experiences no real ill effects aside from the tempary discomfort In houses where more than 70 degree: of heat is maintained as a constant feature, the occupants are gradual; contributing to ill health rather thai to its conservation. The air of th rooms is made dry by the disappear: ance of the moisture brought abou! by overheating. As a result, th nasal and deeper air-passages ar dried out to a certain degree; ther comes irritation, followed later by in flammation, and still further ‘with other serious consequences. ‘The question may be asked how we can always know that we have ni more than 65 or 70 degrees of heat ir & room. To answer that question there is only one thing to do. You cannot depend upon your bodies ai gauges. They misiead and are to changeable as an instrument for ac Prominent Farmers Present. Dr. S. A. Peeler and Dr. R. H. Har- ris made strong specches endorsing the Association. Among the promi- nent farmers present who own their land were: Norman McNeal, Jessie McKinnon, L. D. Graham, 'G. W. Graham, Wagram, N. C., Route 1, 50 acres each; Philip Alford, Todd Me- Alster, Geo. Malloy, ‘iT. D. MeNeal, Peter’ McAister, Archy Cannady, Daniel McLaughlin, Jno. W. McLaugh: lin, Jessie MeNeal and G, G. Love, Wagram, N. C., Route 1, all own 100 acres or more each. There were also men like A. L. McNair who’ owns two hundred “aeres, ‘Timberland, N. C., Route 1; Sandy’ Blue, 400 aeros, Wag: ram, N.'C., Route 1; T. S. Bltc, 500 acres, Timberland, N. C.,-Route 1; S. P. Gibson, 500 acres, Wagram, N.’C. Route 1. jcurate heat measurement. The only thing you can depend upon is a ther- mometer. This will_always keep you properly informed. When this instru- menb is had, it should be placed in the room most ‘used and away from the source of heat. I would suggest that the thermometer should be hung from ‘the wall opposite the stove or what- ever else ts being used for heating. ‘Then this will give you as near as practical the uniform distribution of ‘heat in the room. It may appear a [little tosing to have one's attention directed to heat regulation in. the home during the busy hours of the day, but in reality the little worry, as it seems, is nov to be considered in contrast with the great amount. of good resulting from close observation. Tt pays large dividends in health pro- tection, Quite frequently, it has been my ex- perience to go into some homes where the question of proper temprature is disearded. And I am sure the sume thing: has occurred in the observation of other physicians whose work brings them into such close relationship. If time would be taken to measure the heat in these rooms, it would register anywhere from $5 ‘to 90 degrees or more. ‘This is entirely too much heat for any good purpose. It is not good for the healthy, neither is it good for the sick. It is too depressing, and unfits the body to maintain its re- sistive powers when one goes out of doors with temperature measuring a number of deztees below freezing point. Right at this point is where they say they “catch cold” and get othet symptoms of impending dangers ealth. As to hours of sleeping I would sug- gest, as a general rulo, that the apart- ments ought to be free from any arti- ficial heat whatever. Cold rooms with a plenty of covering, and with win- dows opened to meet the requirement, are best during the hours of slumber. In rooms where persons are confined on account of illness the question of heat should be regulated by the physi- cian in charge who understands the Ineeds of the case. To be comfortable, and be free from many head, nose and throat com- plaints see to it that your houses are Jnot overheated; and you will inerease | your chanees for a longer and happier Nite. (S. V.

About 55 souls have been added to the church, the Sunday School has increased considerably in its collection as well as in its membership, the B. Y. P.

This was the biggest day seen in Columbia in ten years at which time Prof. Butts of South Carolina was principal. We were very pleased to have him present. Mrs. Goldia E. Johnson, who has been here a while is doing efficient work. When she leaves us she will leave her footprints upon the sands of time. This day was carried out under the auspices of the leading Negroes of Columbia, among them were: Messrs. W. H. Owens, T. I. Blount, and Littlejohn, Mrs. A. L. Owens, Mrs. Eliza Jones and others, with T. O. Bryan, chairman: Deacon A. L. Owens, presi- dent; Mrs. Goldia E. Johnson, secretary. We assembled at Salem Baptist Church of which Rev. W. H. Stallings is pastor. The program rendered was as follows: Scripture reading; invocation, Rev. Stallings; welcome address, Rev. Alexander; response, Dconon A. L. Owens; solo, Mrs. M. A. Cox; paper, Prof. A. W. Bensley, subject: "Fifty-four Years Progress of Negro Race"; oration, Mr. Geo. Rouson of Richmond, Va.; oration, Prof. Simons, principal of white graded school. Collection was a lively one for the colored graded school. Dr. Cartwright the main speaker of the day was in attendance. Mr. M.J. M. J. Whene came forward and swapped the audience in his usual eloquent style and he was often interrupted by loud applause and the waving of flags and banners. The silver tongued orator was at his best and spoke as never before. his bese and spoke as never before. Owing to the lateness of the hour the closing address by Dr. Stallings was not rendered, which caused many regrets. The congregation marched to the school building and witnessed the raising of the flag by Deacon Owens and Mr. T. D. Bryan. Owing to the inclemency of the weather Mrs. Johnson was unable to sing "Our Flag," composed by herself. We feel sure that this day awakened quite an educational interest in Columbia. AT THE MOVIES The Manhattan. There has been no change in the policy of the Manhattan Theatre, one of the city's leading places of amusement where crowds go to enjoy themselves. The Manhattan offers good, wholesome moving picture features and everything is done for the comfort of its patrons. The same good serial features that have been running for some weeks are being screened on the regular days of the week of their appearance. The most recent addition to the Manhattan program of servial features is "The Mysteries of Myra" on Saturday, which is an entertaining and intensely interesting story of a girl who is pursued by "Devil Worshippers" in quest of her fortune. Jean Sothern, the popular screen star who plays the part of Myra never showed to better advantage than in this feature. Howard Esterbrook, equally well known among movie fans as Jean Sothern, is certainly winning new laurels for himself in this most popular of all serials, the fourth installment of which will be screened at the Manhattan on Saturday of this week. The Palace. The Palace Theatre is still running Fox, Metro and Triangle features. As usual every day at the Palace is a captivating one—especially for those who have cultivated the finer aesthetic tastes. "The Lass of the Lumberlands" featuring the fearless as well as peerless screen star, Helen Holmes, is proving to be a wonderful attraction. The next episode of this popular serial will be screened Saturday of this week with a big Triangle feature, "The Patriot" with William S. Hart, (Two-Gun-Hicks) in the title role and a fine Keystone comedy. These combined productions for this day make a program of rare excellence. "Hicks" is always popular and his name connected with a feature means that it is an attraction out of the ordinary. "Patrin," the new serial featuring Mrs. Vernon Castle, which has been such a tremendous success at one of the leading local white theatres will be screened at the Palace beginning Saturday of next week. Mrs. Castle is one of the world's leading stage artists and her former record is a guarantee of the excellence of this super-serial. The first episode contains three chapters that are brimful of human interest. One who sees the first episode well cannot be enticed to miss the second one. BETTER ACCOMMODATION In appreciation of the liberal patronage of the colored residents of this city, the management of the Academy of Music has inaugurated a new policy. Under this arrangement, which went into effect last week the entire gallery has been set aside exclusively for the colored patrons. To meet the increasing demand and the constant solicitation of those patrons, the first two rows are reserved. Since the inauguration of ten, twenty and thirty-cent vaudieville at the Academy, the colored people of Norfolk and Portsmouth have shown interest in this form of amusement and the interest has grown until the portion of the gallery used for the colored patrons would not accommodate all who applied for tickets. The situation was one that gave the management of the theatre some concern and it was also given much thought and consideration. The outcome was the decision to give the entire gallery up to the colored patrons and to have the first two rows reserved for those who desired the best seats. The admission to the gallery is still 10 cents. The new policy at the Academy will also enable the colored people of the two cities to see in larger numbers, the best vaudeville bills that are being presented on the Keith circuit and at a price that is within the reach of all. Two high class bills are presented at the Academy every week. The matinee performances begin daily at 3 o'clock and the evening performances at 7:30 and 9 o'clock. Highly interesting motion pictures are shown at each performance. Relieves CATARRH of the BLADDER and all Discharges in 24 HOURS SANTAL CAPSULES MIDY A man and a woman sit at a table.

President Galvin Sounds Baptist Cry Brother Editor:—If all the pastors in Virginia who are connected with the Virginia Baptist State Convention would awake and arise and "get busy," neither pen, tongue nor brush could express the glories of the Jubilee meeting July 10-15, on Seminary Hill, Lynchburg, Va. Our friends out of the state have always done their part for our work and we are sure that at the Jubilee meeting they are going to exceed their own record. And the more the brethren in our state do for the work, the greater will be the help from brethren out of the state. And we do feel that every one of our brethren pastoring in this state should gladly rise in his strength to the "help of God against the mighty," in this great Baptist cause, as never before. As men, real men, manly men, Baptist men, men of God and men of a race which is destined to be mighty, we should not think of anything else than to surpass all past efforts, of ours, for education and missions. We can do it, we should do it, then, let us say, "by the grace of God, we will and must do it." As an incentive to our friends and workers, the officials of the Vn. Baptist State Convention have agreed and decided to have two gold medals and two banners prepared, known as the Jubilee medals and Jubilee banners. The church, in or out of Virginia, that sends the largest amount of money for education and missions to that convention at the Jubilee meeting, will be given a Jubilee banner. And the pastor of that church will be given a Jubilee medal. Now this is the church that actually gives the largest amount. On the other hand, the church, in or out of Virginia, that sends the largest amount of money, per member, to the Jubilee meeting for education and missions, will be given a Jubilee banner and the pastor of that church will be given a Jubilee medal. This plan will give each and every church a fair chance for a Jubilee banner, and it gives each pastor fair sure for a Jubilee medal. These prizes appeal to us all. For certainly he is a very poor Baptist preacher who would not appreciate wearing on the lapel of his coat one of these medals, all his life and fifty years hence when that great Baptist Centennial meeting will be pulled off, with pride either he or his heir, would be privileged to exhibit this medal as a mark of his intrinsic and denominational value. And any church, with reasonable pride, would enjoy receiving one of these banners, to serve as ensign to indicate her point, purpose, place and power in the greatest denomination, in the greatest state, of the greatest country, in this the greatest age of all history. What churches and pastors will get these Jubilee prizes? Let every one work for them. We want 500 churches represented at the coming Jubilee. Will your church be there? The departure of Dr. J. H. Burks from our state is much to be regretted and yet we do hope and pray that it is going to be well with him in his new field of labor. Ranoke will be poorer for the leaving of this great builder. Now since President Woods so accurately and ably described the great work of this great man in his fifteen years stay in Ranoke and since that article expressed my sentiment, I take pleasure in saving "ditto." Dr. Burks will take with him to his new field, the respect, the prayers and best wishes of his brethren in Virginia. Virginia's loss is Pennsylvania's gain regarding this man of the Most High. The program committee of each of our four states bodies are expected to meet in joint session, in Richmond the 25th day of February at 11 a.m. What two churches and what two pastors will win the Jubilee prizes? Let us all do our best. Yours in interest of the coming Jubilee, A. A. GALVIN, President. Va. Baptist State Convention. St. John's A. M. E. Church Notes.

Tonight (Friday) there will be present at this church Dr. Robert C. Woods of Lynchburg, Va., to deliver an address to the citizens of Norfolk. As he is one of the race's most profound thinkers and a most interesting speaker it is hoped that no one will miss this opportunity of hearing him. The Cantata at the opening of the new organ Monday night was in every way a success. In spite of the extremely cold weather a hundred dollar house was present. The handling of the organ by Mr. Clyde D. Carter was masterly. Everyone was pleased at the splendid showing of his skill as a musical director and organist. The cantata's rendition in a way ourvived the organ. The chair was well balanced and well trained. The chorus worker was of exceptionally high order. Personal mention is due the sublists, Mrs. Mary Fisher, Miss Julia Webber and Messrs. George Drewery and Willie Robinson. The work of these came in for high praise. The pastor will preach another sermon in the Fellowship Series this Sunday morning. Sunday night he will take up the teaching of the New Testament as to the care and support of the church's poor. The churches have wandered far afield. Hear what the Word says about it. The useful services Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. the hospices of the Women's Missionary Society.

Church Notes The cold snap cut our congregation just a little all day last Sunday, but we hope that by this time every one remembers his "Conversion Promise" and "New Year's Resolution" to follow Jesus whither soever He leadeth etc. Notwithstanding a little falling off in the attendance both in Sunday School and Church we were blessed with four conversions during the day. The collection was excellent all things considered. The classes are organizing for the Rally which comes off March 11th. See your leader, help him win. The church is busy getting ready for conference. On Sunday night, February 18th, the Norfolk Colored Teachers Institute will come in a body and worship with us. Rev. Hatcher will preach to them on the subject: "Choosing and Keeping a Life's Companion," or "How To Get Married and Stick." Be sure to hear this sermon and you will have more respect for the sanctity of the home, the authority of the school and church and become a better citizen. The revival services will continue thru this month at 11 a. m. Come. The Best Recommendation. The strongest recommendation any article may receive is a favorable word from the user. It is the recommendations of those who have used it that makes Chamberlain's Cough Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda Glerhart, Waynesfield, Ohio, writes, "Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used in my family off and on for twenty years and it has never failed to cure a cough or cold."

Washington—a function that established a new standard for such affairs in the social life of this city was the recent celebration of the "silver anniversary" of the Rev. and Mrs. M. W. D. Norman. This highly unique observance was held at the beautiful home of the bride and groom of a quarter of a century. 1853 Thirteenth street, northwest, one of the statelest of the modern homes now owned by members of the race in this city of magnificent edifices. The hosts of friends of Dr. and Mrs. Norman turned out en masse. The Metropolitan Baptist church of 3,000 members, of which Dr. Norman is pastor, was invited as a unit, and cards were also sent to some of the other churches the doctor had formerly pastored. Besides this, 450 tickets were sent to friends outside of the church, bringing the total number of invited guests up to more than 5,000. No detail was lacking at the Norman mansion to make the affair all that the importance of the occasion demanded. The elegant and spacious salon parlor was tastefully decorated with palms and ferns, behind the embankment of which sat an orchestra, which made the hours merry with the enchanting strains of music. The color scheme was silver and blue, with touches of pink. Mrs. Norman, radiant with happiness, was very becomingly attired in an exquisite gown of silver cloth, draped with heavy silver lace and with an ultra fashionable wide panel of silver lace insertion in back, reaching from the shoulder to the bottom of the skirt, the whole affair mounted over light blue chiffon satin. The ladies in waiting were costumed as follows: Misses Fannie and Amaza Hill, nieces of Mrs. Norman, wore light blue and canary silks; Mrs. W. R. Richardson, light blue silk, butterfly style; Mrs. P. W. Moore, Elizabeth City, N. C., gray duchess satin, with silver trimming; Mrs W. A. Sunford, pale pink satin, Dutch style, trimmed with gold lace; Mrs. L. O. Wingfield, medium pink chiffon satin, with border and handsome gold lace appliqued, made Louis XIV, style; Mrs. J. C. Fountain, black velvet, with metal trimming; Mrs. W. D. Jarvis, silver silk with chiffon; Mrs. W. H. Mitchell, pink satin, trimmed with gold lace and ermine fur; Mrs. A. E. Peters, steel gray silk with gold lace trimming, and Mrs. J. H. Randolph, light gray silk, draped with chiffon. Dr. Norman, a perfect type of white manhood, fitted admirably into the picture, dressed in the "conventional black," as did also his courtiers of gentlemen friends in line. They were E. G. Norman, brother of Dr. Norman; W. H. Mitchell, Rev. Holland Powell, Rev. W. D. Jarvis, Rev. R. V. Randolph, Rev. J. C. Fountain, Mr. A. E. Peters, Rev. L. D. Best and Rev. G. S. Wormley of Baltimore. With queenly grace and dignity a coterie of charming ladies saw to the introduction of the guests and extended the freedom of the home in the name of Mrs. Norman. These ladies were Mrs. Susie P. Saunders, dressed in ivory white satin, couched and boned, made in butterfly style; Miss Marie A. D. Madre, LL. B., LL. M., dressed in a very rich Parisian model of costly lace spangled with suppières, and Mrs. Anna Clark Willmann, dressed in white tulle, with pink rosebuds, made real Dutch style. The Metropolitan Baptist church ushers served in both capacities as ushers and waiters under the skilled and painstaking management of Mr. Brown. The cloakroom, presided over by Mrs. Burden, Miss S. E. Miner and Mrs. Whislow, was handled without an error. The presents received by Dr. and Mrs. Norman made the display room look like the store of a first class silversmith. This elaborate function was an illuminating testimonial to the popularity of Dr. and Mrs. Norman, not only in Washington, but in the country at large, in the decade or more that Dr. Norman has pasted Metropolitan Baptist church he has impressed himself as an earnest friend of humanity, a conserver of the highest standards of citizenship, a broad ganged man of affairs, a scholar and a Christian gentleman. As a lecturer and authority on the Bible he has no peer in this community. As an orator and pulpteer he is without a peer. In all of his work for the masses Dr. Norman is supported heartily by his wife and true helpmate, Mrs. Fannie Norman. The country bids them godspeed. Dr. Churchman to Speak in Boston. The NationalEqual Rights league has done a work of farreaching importance in creating interest throughout the country in the one hundredth anniversary celebration of the birthday of Frederick Douglass. The Boston celebration will be held in Faneuil hall, and the Rev. Dr. James E. Churchman, noted orator of Orange, N. J., will deliver the anniversary oration. Dr. Churchman is the league's national organizer, and as such is doing a noteworthy service for our race. Race Conference Held at Columbia. The southern race conference, held annually at Columbia, S. C., opened on Wednesday, Feb. 7, with a large attendance. Race migration from the south, its cause and how to check it, engaged the attention of the conference to the exclusion of many other important questions scheduled on the program for discussion. DUNBAR'S MOTHER SPEAKS. Tells Washington Audience of Struggles and Successes of Famous Poet. Washington.—Mrs. Matilda S. Dunbar of Dayton, O., mother of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the famous colored poet, was greeted at Lincoln Temple Congregational church, Eleventh and R streets, northwest, by an audience that packed that edifice to the doors. In simple language and a quiet eloquence and unaffected humor that held the interest of all to the end Mrs. Dunbar told the life story of her beloved boy, reciting step by step his rise from the post of elevator conductor in a Dayton office building to the honored estate of poet, author, playwright and composer of lyrics for operas. Young Dunbar made many stanch friends, but it appears that three of them, William Dean Howells, Frederick Douglas and Booker T. Washington, stood out prominently as the man who helped him most significantly at critical stages of his struggle upward. The poet, still a young man, died of tuberculosis a few years ago at his home in Dayton. For quite a period he was a resident of Washington and was employed at the Congressional Library. While on her present visit here Mrs. Dunbar attended the dedication ceremonies of the Dunbar High school, named in honor of her son, and of which fact she is pardonably proud. She goes from her for a visit to relatives in Chicago, and as a tribute of respect and courtesy the District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, under the auspices of which she spoke Tuesday night, handed her a purse of $20 to help to defray the expense of the trip. Mrs. Dumbar was felicitously introduced to the audience by Miss Marie A. D. Madre, president of the Colored Women's federation, who, mindful of the fact that many white persons were present, referred gracefully to the universality of Dumbar's productions. He was not a poet of the colored people nor of the white people. He was the poet of all the people, of all humanity, and his sentiments that built larger and nobler lives will endure for all eternity. A notable feature of the meeting was the appearance and address of Sergent Daily Farror, a battle scarred veteran of the Tenth cavalry, United States army, one of the few survivors of the historic massacre at Carrizal, where several troops of the cavalry, under the gallant Captain Boyd, met practical annihilation at the hands of unbushed Mexicans. Sergent Farror gave a graphic recital of the terrible story and how he and a few strangling comrades managed after days to reach their friends at the American line in Texas. His shattered wrist gave mute but convincing testimony of his active participation in that memorable fight. He has been appointed to a position in the war department in this city. This was his first public speech. He acquitted himself admirably. Others who spoke were LaVant Dodge, professor emeritus of Greek and science, Beren college, Kentucky. Junior vice commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic; Mrs. Julia Mason Layton, secretary of the District federation; George Topham, George Little, Mrs. Holland Powell, who presented the purse to Mrs. Dunbairn in the name of the federation; Rev. Holland Powell and Rev. C. H. Steptenmu. Music, including the sxitet from "Luca," was rendered by the choir of Ashbury M. E. church, led by R. W. Johnson, with Mrs. Essle Jarvis at the plano. The meeting of the federation was held with the Rethul Literary and Historical association by courtesy of A. S. Pinkett, president of the Literary association, who opened the proceedings and presented Miss Marie A. D. Midre as mistress of ceremonies for the evening. GOVERNOR STANLEY IS FIRM. He Stands For Protection of Every Citizen Regardless of Color. New York.—John E. Bruce, the well known newspaper man of New York, has received the following letter from Governor A. O. Stanley of Kentucky, which explains itself: "John E. Bruce. New York City; "Dear Sir--Your kind and valued favor of recent date to hand. The constitution and laws of this state were alike ordained for the protection of every citizen in his life, his liberty and his property. No man should be denied their complete enjoyment on account of his wealth or his poverty, his creed or his color. If the law makes no such distinction a mob should not be permitted to do so or to overthrow established institutions, trample the law under foot and to wreak its vengeance according to its prejudice or its wrath. "As long as I am governor of Kentucky I shall continue in the future, as in the past, to see that, so far as it within me lies, the law is rigorously enforced and that no man shall suffer save for crime committed and then only after his guilt has been established by an impartial and authorized tribunal.

Cold Settled In His Back "Foley Kidney Pills always give me prompt relief"—Ed Vulten, Rogers, Nebr. Ed Vulton, of Rogers, Neb., writes: "I have used Foley Kidney Pills for backache, the result of catching cold which settled in my back. Foley Kidney Pills always give me prompt relief and I can cheerfully recommend them." The reason Foley Kidney Pills not so satisfactorily is because they neutralize and dissolve the毒素 wasto matter that remains in the blood because the kidneys do not do their work properly in filtering and casting out from the system urio acid and other poisons. Relief usually follows in a few days and such symptoms as pain in the sides or back, stiff joints, sore muscles, rheumatism, too frequent action of the bladder at night, and other painful and annoying alliments disappear. Foley Kidney Pills contain no harmful ingredients. They are safe as well as quick acting. AGENTS WANTED TO SELL Dr. Booker T.

Roanoke, Va.—For sometime the colored people of this city have been looking forward with great anxiety to the coming of a first-class colored paper, the announcement of which has been given out, assuring us that our hopes shall not be in vain. The paper which will be known as the "Virginian Advocate," will be published by Prof. Deane, A. B., who came to this city sometime in November last. Seeing the great need of a good newspaper for the colored people, and having had some considerable experience in newspaper work, decided to undertake that arduous task. The result of his efforts is the announcement of the "Virginian Advocate" a first-class paper for the people of this city. Prof. Deane has secured office space in the Cooper Drug Store building, where he has been at work for sometime. He proposes to have the first issue out on February the 24th, 1917. There are many reasons to believe that the efforts of Prof. Deane will meet with hearty support, as the announcement carries with it the endorsement of Mr. C. M. Brown, Mayor of Roanoke, and many of the leading citizens of the city as well. The price of the paper will be four cents per single copy, or one dollar per year: It is also announced that many branch offices have been established, many of which are out of the State and that an efficient corps of reporters have been engaged to cover the State of Virginia. Besides giving us all the news, Prof. Deane will pay special attention to the advertising feature of the paper with reasonable terms that will appeal to those who wish to advertise. We wish Prof. Deane much success in his efforts and give him our hearty support. The "Francis Harper Reading Circle" on its annual anniversary entertained the members and a large number of friends at the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Dudley, 405 Gilmer Ave., N.W., last Friday night.

At which time the following numbers were rendered: Instrumental solo, "Bambooola," Mrs. Eugene Dennis; paper, "Immigration and its Effect upon the Negro," Mrs. C. H. Gilliam; paper, "Harriett Tubman & Sojourner Truth," Mrs. E. W. Dennis; vocal solo, "Good-Bye," Mrs. K. T. Boland; Pantomine. Lotus Eaters, Misses Williams, Stockton and Mrs. Gaylord.

Ricks, minister of the First Baptist Church, made some very helpful, but plains remarks, as a prelude to his sermon at the First Church Sunday morning. He selected as the basis of his remarks the 62nd Psalm and the 3rd verse, "Like a Leaning Wall, Like a Tottering Fence," the leaning wall of the new colored theater, now being erected, which wall has been torn down, suggested to him the prelude of his sermon; and the fact that the walls are to be built again gave him his text and subject for the morning sermon, subject: "Marred" text: "He Made It Again." Jer. 18:4. A large and appreciative audience was present, and gave rapt attention to the discourse of the morning and all were loud in their praise of the helpfulness of the same.
