The Journal and Guide COLORED SENIOR PRIZE ORATOR AT BOWDOIN Boston, Mass.—That the prize for the best original oration delivered by a Bowdoin College senior should this year have gone to David A. Lane, Jr., a Negro, will not surprise those who have observed the recent achievements of this race. What is particularly noteworthy about the incident mentioned, and no doubt contributed to the winner's success, was the fact that he chose no irrelevant and high-sounding subject, but a practical topic appropriate to the times and to himself, namely, "The Task of the College-Trained Negro." Were all orators as careful to choose common-sense subjects on which they are able to speak with some authority, their audiences would oftener find it worth while to listen.

HAMPTON WINS FROM LINCOLN IN BASKETBALL CONTEST 23 TO 22 (By Lawrence A. Lee.) Hampton, Va., Feb. 12—The Hampton Institute basketball team proved its superiority to the Orange and Blue squad of Lincoln University by defeating them by the margin of one point. Lincoln outplayed the Blue and White machine in the first half, but the latter half proved fatal to the visitors. HOWARD UNIVERSITY FIFTY YEARS OLD HOWARD UNIVERSITY FIFTY YEARS OLD Washington, D. C.—Trustees of Howard University plan to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the institution with a sociological conference, at which addresses and reports will be made by some of the most distinguished sociologists, teachers and leaders of the colored race; and also with a reunion on March 1st, 2nd and 3rd, of the alumni. Advance figures from the official program of the anniversary show that the University has graduated 4,591 students since 1867, including 1000 doctors, 844 teachers and bachelors, 771 lawyers, 423 ministers, 324 dentists, 264 pharmacists, 703 from the Academy, and all other departments 362. The "Mystics" met at the home of Miss M. A. Moseley Friday evening, Feb. 2, 1917. The Washington Hatchet and the Valentine Heart cut out by Prof. C. G. Owens and Mrs. A. J. Davenport received the highest number of votes. An improprupt program was then rendered by those present, each one being required to recite a "Mother Goose" rhyme. HENDERSON, N. C. (By T. R. Eaton.) The usual Sunday services were conducted at the A. M. E. Church by Rev. Culbreth, the pastor, who preached as usual an interesting sermon. Little Ulysus Peace, son of Mrs. Bettle Peace, died on Friday, February 9, a victim of pneumonia. The remains of which was buried in the family burying ground, near the village of Williamsboro. The Central Colored Graded School observed Lincoln's birthday by a concert given free for the benefit of the scholars, the object of which was to explain and glorify Abraham Lincoln. The Junior Baraca Class of the First Baptist Church had a short but harmonious meeting on Sunday morning at which time the class was organized for the new year, and many new members were enrolled. Don't fail to see the instructive and picturesque pageant. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, FEBRUARY 17, 1917 TRAINING MEN AND WOMEN FOR BUSINESS LEADERSHIP The Hampton Institute Business Course Aims To Fill Urgent Need Of The Race. Hampton, Va.—William S. Dodd, who is in charge of the Hampton Institute Business Course, has written an interesting account of the way in which Hampton is training students for high-grade business positions. He says in a recent report: The National Negro Business League organized by Booker Washington and composed of scores of local leagues scattered throughout thirty-one states, is yearly becoming more beneficial in its influence. This League has served to awaken in the Negro sense of his business shortcomings; has taught him the necessity and value of co-operation; and is gradually leading him to an appreciation of the approved business methods employed by the white man. Trained Men Wanted. The need of trained business men to direct and manage the various business enterprises of the Negro is a crying one, while the opportunities that are open to him are many and alluring. In no sphere of activity has the Negro a greater opportunity for usefulness and success than in agriculture. Success in farming, however, is largely dependent, on the practical application and use of correct business methods. What is true in the case of agriculture is also to a great extent true of the various trades in which the Negro is becoming so largely engaged. Practical Office Work. Hampton's business course is planned with a view to meet and supply, as far as it can, the needs of the Negro business world. The course is one of four years. Thirty boys are now taking this course and a yearly increase in numbers is probable. An exceptional and valuable feature of the course is the advantage offered in the fourth year of daily work in the various offices of the Hampton School. The student is thus enabled to gain by actual contact and handling a practical knowledge of business practices. This feature furnishes another instance of Hampton's educational method of "Learning by doing." Business Curriculum. Some of the subjects taught in the course are such as form the basis of every practical and well-balanced business curriculum: Bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting, English, penmanship, and commercial arithmetic are the fundamentals. The thorough instruction which is given in the subjects mentioned fits young men to serve efficiently in clerical as well as in certain larger business positions. A purpose of the course, however, is a wider one than merely to train young men to be bookkeepers, typewriters or stenographers, important and necessary as this is. The Negro race today stands in need of business leaders who will be thoroughly equipped and able to inaugurate, organize, and direct business enterprises. Besides, then, the subjects already stated, a practical study is made of business transactions, methods and law, and there is an effort to stir initiative and to give grasp and vision. Experience has already shown that this broader purpose may reasonably be expected to be realized in some cases. Business Short Course. Aside from this exclusive business course, there is given a short course in practical business matters. The Negro generally is sadly lacking in a knowledge of such matters and consequently is too often victimized or suffers unnecessary loss. The aim of this short course of four months is to give to the student a knowledge sufficient for him to understand and to handle the ordinary matters of business. This course is made as practical in its hearing as possible and the topics studied are such as are suggested by existing needs and conditions: Deeds, mortgages, wills, banking, taxes, and insurance are among the subjects studied. Girls Trained in Business Methods. All the girls take this course and as most of them are to be teachers they will be in positions to impart to others the knowledge they themselves have received. In this way the influence and value of the course will be made far reaching. Every boy and girl while at Hampton receives some instruction in business. One of the graduates of the Hampton business course, Don A. Davis, is now the efficient cashier of the Hampton School; while two others, William M. Rich and E. H. Vaughan, are in charge of a Negro bank in Norfolk. This bank under their successful management has grown into a large institution. Its Christmas accounts alone this past year amounted to over seventy thousand ($70,000) and were exceeded only by those of the largest white bank in the city of Norfolk. The Mistletoe Reading and Social Circle met at the residence of Misses Davenport Friday evening, Feb. 9th. Mr. L. Shoppard was elected president to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. R. C. Deans. SAYS LINCOLN WAS NOT AN ABOLITIONIST Emancipation Was A War Measure Declares Leslie M. Shaw. Cumberland Gap, Tenn.—Leslie M. Shaw, former Secretary of the Treasury, who spoke at Sunday's ceremonies in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Lincoln Memorial University, declared that every one who attempts some revolutionary policy claims some similarity between himself and Lincoln. He devoted his address to pointing out "what Lincoln did not believe, touch, or do." "He was not an abolitionist," said Mr. Shaw. "He never belonged to or affiliated with the Abolition party. The platform on which Mr. Lincoln was elected was not an abolition platform. Mr. Lincoln set his face strongly against the spread of slavery and his party promised that all free soil should remain free. "Thus far, but no farther,' was its position. "It is undoubtedly true that Mr. Lincoln hoped for and expected ultimate abolishment of slavery; for he expressed the opinion that the Nation could not continue part slave and part free. But, if he ever so much as intimated how that end might be attained, it has never been recorded. It is noteworthy, however, that he signed the emancipation proclamation with many misgivings and after much delay. The abolition of slavery by proclamation was a war measure and an incident of the war." The general movement for Southern educational efficiency must go on, declared Dr. J. A. Morehead, president of Roanoke College, Salem, Va., in an address at the celebration. He spoke of boys and girls as the richest undeveloped resources of the South, and said: "In recent years, the realization of the value of this human material to our great country, if properly developed, has led to exceptional activity by individual philanthropists, by the Nation, and by the Southern States themselves, to promote the cause of liberal and general popular education in the South. The primary schools have been improved, high school systems have been developed, and the means of technical, college and university training has been marvelously increased during the past 10 years in all the 'Southern States. The work has by no means been completed, but a very encouraging beginning has been made." PORTSMOUTH DIVISION. A mass meeting will be held at the North Street A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Tuesday, February 20, 1917, at S o'clock p. m. Mrs. Burrett will speak about the Girl's Industrial Home at Peaks, Va., and the Statewide Tag Day. All who are interested in welfare work are invited to be present. Mrs. Lipking, Chr. Committee. Mrs. Staten, Vice-Chir. Lincoln-Douglas Celebration. The Lincoln-Douglas Celebration at the Zlon Baptist Church last Monday night was quite a pleasant and instructive affair. The Zlon choir led the occasion by singing national airs. Rev. S. S. Morris, B. D., excelled himself in an address on "Lincoln and Douglas," which was enjoyed by all present. The program as a whole was very entertaining. The management of Corcy Memorial Institute desires to thank all who helped in any way to make the occasion a success. DR. LANKFORD WILL SPEAK AT EMANUELE Dr. Livius Lankford, of Norfolk, will deliver an address to the men and boys of Norfolk and Portsmouth on the subject "The Power of Habit and Secret Sins" at the Emanuel A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Friday evening, February 23, 1917. He will be assisted by the Hiawatha T. M. C. A. Quartette, of Norfolk, The Miller, Rhonds & Swartz Co. Quartette, of Norfolk, The Y. M. C. A. Quartette of Portsmouth, and the Corcy Quartette, who will render a very delightful program. All males over fourteen years of age are invited to hear this great authority on the effects of evil habits upon the human system. Admission free. Bring an offering. OPENING OF THE NEW PIPE ORGAN AND CANTATA AT BUTE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. On Monday, Feb. 5th, there was presented at First Baptist Church, the sacred cantata entitled the "91st Psalm," or "He that dwelleth," under the auspices of the choir of the above named church. Despite the sudden extremely cold weather, very nearly four hundred people journeyed far and near, to hear for the first time the magnificent new and large pipe organ recently installed and turned over by the builders, and at the same time to hear the choir render for the first time in this city, the 91st Psalm, in cantata form, under the able direction of the organist and choirmaster, Mr. Clyde D. Carter. Promptly at 9 o'clock the program began with the reciting by the pastor, after which prayer was offered, and when the signal was given a large American flag, which hung across the organ, completely concealing same, was dropped, unveiling the finest pipe organ in any colored church in Tidewater, if not the whole state. The big treat came when Mr. Carter, the organist, sent himself at the console of this large instrument, and with the ease of a veteran, started the prelude to this most beautiful cantata, and under his unerring direction this famous choir broke all of its former records for singing. Too much can not be said about the solos, which included Mrs. Mary Fisher, soprano; Miss Julia Wobster, alto; Mr. Gee. Drewery, in well rendered baritone solos, together with Mr. William Robinson, tenor. The best of attention was paid this rendition by an appreciative audience, that sat quietly listening to the exquisite harmonies brought out by the organ and choir. All present voted it the chief musical success of the season. COLORED MAID BEQUEATHED $12.000 Was the Faithful Servant of the Late Mrs. Laura B. Winslow. New York, Feb. 7.—Mrs. Laura B. Winslow, who died in Battle Creek, Mich., October 31, 1916, gave approximately $12,000 together with objects of art and wearing apparel, to Louise Pache, her servant. The bequest includes much of the contents of her Paris home at 28 Rue de Madrid. The Holy Trinity Church, in Paris, receives certain art objects. A life interest in $25,000 was left to Laura Tarrere, a niece, of Indianapolis, Ind. Nephrops and nieces received the remainder of the unestimated estate in varying bequests. Y. M. C. A. WORKERS ENJOY BANQUET About seventy-five men were present Wednesday night at the banquet given by a number of the active Y. M. C. A. workers and quite an enjoyable evening was spent around the festive board in discussing and shaping places for the future enlarged usefulness of the Association. Attorney Walter L. Davis presided as teastmaster and there were short but enthusiastic speeches by General Secretary C. C. Dogan, President M. J. Diggs, Vice-President Walter Smith, D. T. Lynn and others of the board of directors and C. H. Oliver. An eloquent menu was served. Will Be Known Hereafter As Bercan Baptist Church. Representatives of sister churches of Norfolk and vicinity responded to the call of the First Baptist Church of Hunterville and reorganized it into a regular Baptist Church. In view of the name conflicting with the sister church, she now bears the name of Berean Baptist Church, suggested by Rev. Dr. F. W. Williams. Dr. Williams presided over the meeting, Rev. A. Hobbs acted as secretary. After the session the committee gave an indication of their appreciation by serving their guests with hot chocolate and tea cakes. The reorganization exercises will take place Friday, Feb. 23, at 8 o'clock. Program—Sermon by Rev. Dr. F. W. Williams; charge by Rev. Dr. F. Hobbs; presenting the Bible by Rev. Dr. W. A. Baker; prayer by Rev. W. A Massenburg; hand of fellowship by Rev. J. H. Ashby. The public is cordially invited. Location, corner of Fremont and O'Keefe Sts. Y. M. C. A. NEWS. Last week Rev. Hamilton, pastor Bethang Presbyterian Church, delivered an impressive address to the men at Lamberts Point, which they will not soon forget. The meeting this week was addressed by Mr. Oliver, special agent of the Guide Publishing Company. He admonished the men to maintain their self-respect and save their money. The address was well received. The meeting at the building last Sunday was a live event. The subject, "Is it hard to live the Christian life?" was discussed. Mr. M. Davis and Mr. D. T. Lynn appeared the affirmative, while Mr. Davis, Thomas and Mr. F. L. Carter upheld the negative. In the general discussion Messrs. Wm. Gordon, F. M. Farmer, Dr. W. J. Watts and Secretary Dogan took part. The consensus of opinion was that it is not hard to love the Christian life. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Assistant Superintendent Public Instruction, Washington, D. C., will address a Y. M. C. A. mass meeting at the Bank Street Baptist Church on the 4th Sunday of this month at 3 o'clock. The speaker is one of the most prominent Negroes of America and is an orator of wide reputation. A large crowd is expected to be on hand to hear him. Admission will be free but by ticket. CARD OF THANKS I wish to take this method of expressing grateful thanks to the many friends for their kindnesses, expressions of sympathy and floral tokens during the illness and death of my late husband, Bristow Johnson.

PRICE FIVE CENTS OBSERVED 50TH ANNIVERSARY Masonic Lodges of City Join in Celebration of Golden Anniversary of Two Veteran Members. Wilmington, N. C., Monday evening, Feb. 5th, Gibble Lodge No. 2, Hanover Lodge No. 14, and James W. Telfair Lodge No. 510, Free and Ancient Accepted Masons, convened in joint session to celebrate the Fiftieth or Golden Anniversary of Brothers James D. Dry and William H. Bradley, of Gibble and Hanover Lodges, respectively. After pleasure business by Hanover Lodge, the Craft was called from labor to refreshment by M. K. Fuller, Junior Warden, acting, and Dr. L. J. Davenport, Master of James W. Telfair Lodge, and grand organist of the Grand Lodge of the Jurisdiction of North Carolina, presided as Master of Ceremonies. After the invocation by Dr. W. H. Moore, past master of New Light Lodge No. 61, and grand chapel of the state, M. K. Fuller, senior warden of James W. Telfair, was appointed reporter. The craft was created to choice bits of history, oratory, instruction and advice. Dr. G. D. Carnes, past master of Gibble, was the first speaker. He told many pleasing things in his usual brilliant style, among which was the fact that he possessed what is believed to be the oldest record of Masonry among Negroes of North Carolina. This is the minutes of Gibble Lodge which at that time was known as Lodge No. 26 of the jurisdiction of New York, being instituted by Paul Drayton and others who had come down here for that purpose, in December, 1866. Later when the number of lodges was sufficient, the Grand Lodge of the State of North Carolina was formed in Gibbon Hall. Among the names of those charter members was that of James D. Dry, and today he is the only survivor, having been continuously identified with the fraternity since his raising. Dr. F. W. Avant, master of Hanover Lodge, told how highly Bradley. Bradley is esteemed by his lodge and told a very amusing but not scientific story of the origin of the Caucasian race. The three living charter members of Hanover Lodge were—then introduced, namely: Allen E. Jackson, grand lecturer of Eastern Grand Division; Chas. H. Hill and William H. Bradley, all past masters of Hanover Lodge. Other venerables were introduced: Bro. Carraway, who has been in the fraternity 46 years; Bro. Ned Robinson, for 41 years; Bro. Hill, for 39 years; Bro. Goo. Murray, 36 years, and Bro. Simon Richardson, for 40 years. All testified to the virtues of the order and added their congratulations to the guests of honor. Allen E. Jackson, on behalf of the charter members of Hanover Lodge, gave a resume of the history of the lodge. Dr. John W. Kay, sonor warden of Gibbon Lodge, stated that an honor and unusual privilege had been conferred the younger Masons, in attending such an occasion and listening to the experiences of those had boon Masons so many years. He hoped that many might be permitted to follow in their footsteps. Dr. Jas. A. Bonner, grand historian, congratulated the venerables on having made such a remarkable record. He dwelt at length on the fact that although Brothers Dry and Bradley had passed half a century continuously in the fraternity, they were still able to render active service to their lodges, Bro. Dry as titer and Bro. Bradley as treasurer and he attributed their long service to the due exercise of those two cardinal virtues, Prudence and Temperance and admonished the brethron to emulate them. Dr. Bonner also gave the pleasing information that a complete history of Masonry among Nogroes in North Carolina would soon be published. With fitting words, Bro. Dry was then introduced. He stated that Masonry had brought him many pleasing experiences and many honors, but this occasion was the mose pleasing and touching one of his many years as a Mason. He said he was witnessing the fulfillment of his dream of many years in seeing so many young men identifying themselves with the Order. He also related the early struggles of the Order here and stated too that the most beautiful parts of Masonry lay beyond the Blue Lodges and urged the young men to take the higher degrees. Bro. Bradley said that he too was overcome with joy at seeing such a genuine expression of the high esteem in which he is held by the Brothers and attributed his long life and success to the faithful observance of the Fifth Commandment; he stated that in his long years of membership, he had never received a cent in sick benefits or otherwise from his lodge and was thankful to be still able to render service. Horace Cogdell, senior warden of Hanover Lodge, Johnson, Bowens, S. Richardson and N. Robinson of Gibbam and R. H. White of James W. Telfair made addresses fitting for the occasion. John E. Taylor also spoke and among other things stated that being a close and careful student of his race, he is able to assert that we are progressing and improving as men and Masons, and above all we are beginning to have faith in each other, if spite of years of adverse training. VICTORY FOR HUMAN RIGHTS New York.—Public sentiment in favor of even handed legal justice and fair play to all citizens alike, without regard to race or color, is on the increase. Evidence that this statement is true has been shown recently by high authorities in several sections of our country, notably in South Carolina and Kentucky. In Kentucky Governor A. O. Stanley not only says that he is against mob Violence, but backs up his words by action. When a mob of white men undertook to lynch a colored man at Murray, Ky., in January Governor Stanley, on being informed of the mob's intention, ordered a special train to convey him to the scene of the mob, and he let it be understood that as governor he would enforce the law. In this city and section of the country the most worthy and mainly ruling in a court of justice occurred the third week in January in part five of the court of general sessions, presided over by Judge Otto A. Rosalsky. The court was examining talesmen for jury duty in the case of the People against Nathaniel Mctley, accused of the murder of John Press in this city in August, 1916. John A. Magro, one of the talesmen, on being questioned as to his fitness to serve as a juror in the case stated, so it is said, that the best reason he could give for not being competent to serve as a juror in this particular case was his prejudice against the Negro race and that as the defendant belonged to the Negro race he could not serve impartially. Judge Rosalsky was so astonished at such a reply that he ordered Magee's name stricken from the jury list. The court told Magee that, while the white man sits in judgment today on the colored man, one cannot tell but what the colored man might sit in judgment on the white man tomorrow. "I shall order your name dropped from the list," said Judge Rosalsky. "Any man with such views should be disqualified from serving on a jury, for I do not think that any man should sit in judgment on a human being in a case involving his life or property who has such prejudice against a race."

ROSALSKY. 12 among the brightest minds at the New York bar the court's ruling is considered a fair and upright decision. Not only does the court's ruling disqualify John A. Magee from serving on jury, but it is one of the severest blows to race prejudice that has been struck by any judge here for many a day. Many communications lauding Judge Rosalsky for his fairness and strong manhood have been received by the court. My attention was called to the importance to the Negro race of the court's ruling by Attorney J. Frank Wheaton, an able and popular member of the New York bar. Mr. Wheaton says: "Judge Rosalsky's decision will not only go far to create favorable public sentiment for legal justice to my race, but for the members of other races throughout the country as well. Judge Rosalsky's ruling is a splendid sample of what many other fair-minded judges in the courts of this city will do in such cases as they present themselves." Otto A. Rosalsky, judge of the court of general sessions of the county of New York, was born in this city in 1873. He was appointed to the general sessions bench by Governor Higgins in October. 1905, at the age of thirty-three, being the youngest man ever appointed to the position. SOURCE OF VEGETABLE SEEDS Many Kinds Cannot Be Grown In This Country. For years enormous quantities of certain kinds of vegetable seeds have been produced in this country, different kinds in different sections, and have given us good crops as any that could be imported. A writer in Farm and Home points out, however, that other kinds have seldom proved of good quality when grown here. That is especially true of celery seed. Considerable celery seed is grown in California, but it cannot be compared with that which comes from France. Much carrot, radish and beet seed comes from France. These seeds are produced in California, too, but it is a curious fact that the remarkable vitality shown by California seeds is considered by many growers to be a disadvantage, especially in the case of root crops, for the tops grow with great luxuriance at the expense of the roots. A considerable amount of carrot seed is grown in eastern Massachusetts, mostly in the towns of Danvers and Middleton. This seed sells for $5 a pound and gives excellent crops. Nearly all of the cauliflower seed used in this country comes from Denmark, and the best is expensive, costing up to $20 a pound. The best is none too good, however, and many failures in growing cauliflower are due solely to the fact that cheap seed is used. It may not be worth while trying to grow cauliflower seed in this country, but farmers and market gardeners often find it to their advantage to save their own carrot, beet, onion, corn, pea, bean, cucumber and melon seed. In the middle west and in Michigan it is a very common practice for seed dealers to contract with farmers for the growing of seed crops. Over 6,000 acres are devoted to the growing of vegetable seeds for one company in Michigan, a thousand acres being given over to cucumbers alone. One Philadelphia concern is said to have arranged to buy the products of 20,000 acres in a single season. Although Michigan is famous for its cucumbers, a considerable number are raised in Massachusetts. Large quantities of sweet corn and squash seeds are produced in New England.

MT. HERMON. On Feb. 4th, Mr. Jessie S. Jones addressed the Young People's meeting. All were evidently well pleased at the interesting discussion of the tople, "Vision and Dreams." He left an inspiration which we appreciate. On last Sunday Dr. H. E. Barco gave a very graphic description of the story of Zacheus and Christian Confession. Sunday, Feb. 18, the youngest members will make up the program. These meetings are growing in interest. Rev. James H. Billups, of Norfolk, Va., will preach at the Mt. Hermon Baptist Church at 3 o'clock. Rev. Billups comes under the auspices of the choir. All are cordially invited to hear this promising young minister. The funeral of Deacon John H. Pitt was held at the church Wednesday, Feb. 7, 1917. Rev. O. C. Jones officiated. The death of Mr. Pitt removes from us another faithful member and officer. He was also interested in the S.

IDEAL CENTER OF EDUCATION Topeka, Kan.—The Industrial and Educational institute in this city is one of the foremost institutions in the west for the moral, intellectual and industrial advancement of colored youth. While it is a state school, it had its inception in the thrift and industry of its president, Dr. William R. Carter. He has worked his way to the front upon his merits and is considered one of the best qualified educators among our people. He knows by actual experience the needs of the youth of the race, especially those who are struggling against great odds to get an education. Dr. Carter is a native of Brunswick, Ga. He is forty-three years of age and has had an interesting career in many good movements. Being a native of the south, he knows and has felt the sting of race prejudice. He received his early training in the public schools of his native town. From the public schools of Brunswick he entered the Tuskegee institute in 1800. He received much encouragement and was also inspired by Dr. Washington to go forward and make the most of his opportunities to fit himself for his life's work. After three years of hard work at Tuskegee institute young Carter received his diploma from the hands of Dr. Washington with this solemn declaration: "I shall ever honor this piece of paper." He returned to Brunswick, and, recognizing that he owed something to his home town, the place that had made it possible for him to get his foundation, he accepted a position in the public school as one of the teachers. He at once gained the love of pupils and their parents. He gave three of his best years' work to Brunswick and resigned to accept a position in Orange Bend, Fla., where he had charge of all the public school work in the county. He conducted all the normals and had under him many teachers. His worth as an educator was recognized by the state, and often he was called into conference with the state superintendent of education. He gave up teaching for a short time and entered Gammon Theological seminary, where he prepared for the ministry. It was at Gammon that his ability as a public speaker and minister manifested itself, and he was classed among the able ministers of the Baptist denomination. He, however, again resumed school work. He taught for a year at the East Tennessee Normal and Industrial Institute, Harriman, Tenn. He began teaching in Kansas at the instance of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The school to which he went was a mere kindergarten, carried on by a couple from Boston. The need of a larger work was soon felt, and this little school was reorganized into an industrial institute and is now an ideal center of education. At the first session of the state legislature after Dr. Carter took charge of the school $1,500 was appropriated for its support. This amount has been gradually increased to $21,000 per annum. The indebtedness of $3,000 has been paid, and the plant is now worth $175,000. The school has a faculty of ten teachers, and students from ten states are in attendance. Although Dr. Carter is a very busy man, he is intensely interested in all movements for the advancement of his people. He stands high in Masonic, Pythian and Odd Fellow circles. For the past twelve years he has been the only colored member of the board of directors of the Kansas Children's Home society and for several years secretary and treasurer of the Ministerial Union, Topeka, composed of all the white and colored ministers of the city. He has several times been honored by the governor with positions of trust. HADN'T THE TIME Mistress—Now, Bridget, there's one thing I must insist upon.

By Mail Only Desk 3 149 Broadway New York City AIR VIM TRADE MARK THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE WINTER CARE OF BEES. Insulation of Hives Is Advantageous For the Colonies. [Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] That beekeepers need not fear any detrimental results from abundant insulation of their bives at any season of the year is shown by recent experiments of the bureau of entomology of the United States department of agriculture. To test the theory of many beekeepers that excessive insulation is even more detrimental in winter than insufficient insulation a colony was packed in the fall of 1915 with sixteen inches of sawdust on all sides, top and bottom. Temperature records were made at frequent intervals every day throughout the winter and spring. The colony remained in excellent condition in every respect through all the winter, being little affected by high winds, and after brood rearing began it built up with great rapidity. Then, to continue observations on the effect of insulation on the building up of the colony, the packing was allowed to remain all summer. Except for the impossibility of manipulating the colony it remained in excellent condition. It seems clear, therefore, that beekeepers need not fear any detrimental results from abundant insulation at any season of the year. The experiments showed that failures to insulate the bottom of the hive largely offsets the value of insulation around the hive. The experiments also indicated that in insulating hives it is of small importance what material is used. Sluvings, sawdust, leaves and chaff, some of the commonest substances used, were all found satisfactory. Temporary Repair For Pipe Leak. Leaks in water pipes, particularly in winter, cause much damage unless stopped promptly, writes P. W. Cox in Popular Mechanics. This is often difficult, as a plumber's services are not always quickly available. Under such circumstances the device shown in the sketch was used to stop a SHEET BUCKER 1. Fig.1 SHEET BUCKER 2. Fig.2 leak until a permanent repair was made. A piece of sheet rubber was placed over the leak, and a wooden block was fitted over it, the inner surface being curved to fit the pipe. The block and rubber packing were clamped against the pipe by means of a stick notched to fit against the pipe and held by a twisted wire, a block being used to wedge the packing and cover block firmly into place. The repair was water tight and saved much inconvenience and probably considerable damage. The illustration shows the application of this method to two types of leaks, Fig. 1 being a leak difficult of access, against a wall, and that in Fig. 2 on the exposed side of the pipe. Scaly legs is a troublesome disease of poultry and is contagious. A mixture of kerosene oil, lard and carbolic acid rubbed on the legs will soon cure this trouble.

THE SITUATION Miss Myrtle McLeod Leads Trio In Public Speaking Contest. Myrtle Eloise McLeod of Coconut Grove, Fla., won the first prize in the recent public speaking contest which was held at Hampton institute under the auspices of Miss Mary W. Nettleton and Professor W. T. B. Williams, who for several years have offered prizes to encourage students in the art of effective public speaking. "The Fezzwig Ball," from Dickens, was the selection chosen by Myrtle McLeod. The other winners were Fred D. Lawson of Ronnoke, Va., and Columbus K. Simango of Mount Sillinda Mission, Melsetter, Africa. For the first time a girl has won a prize in the Hampton speaking contest. It is therefore interesting to know more about this promising student. Myrtle McLeed was born on Dec. 23, 1894, and at nineteen, after ten years of training in the ungraded public schools, entered Hampton institute. Since her arrival on the Lower Peninsula of Virginia in September, 1914. COLUMBUS K. SIMANGO, MISS MYBTLE E. M'LEOD AND FREDERICK D. LAWSON. COLCABUS K. SIMANGO, MISS MYLLE R. M.

Resolutions on the Negro northward migration of 1010-17 passed at the conference on Negro migration held under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes at the Russell Sage Foundation building, New York, Jan. 26, wore the following: This conference on Negro migration, assumed under the auspices of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, to go on record as believing (1) That this is the time of all times for Negroes of the south and whites of the south to arrive at a better understanding of other and of the value of the two races to coexist with each other. (2) That the Negroes industrial opportunities in the north are unusual; that northern employers are securing and can secure Negro labor, dependable, loyal, constant American labor, and that this labor did not be abused or exploited, but should be cared for as well as any other labor. (3) That, although thousands of Negroes in excess of the normal migration have left the south since April, 1915, and more are to follow, still the great mass of the Negro population of the United States will remain in the southland; therefore, be it wherever possible, whether in the city or rural community, organizations be formed with the following purposes: (a) To foster good feeling between the two races. (b) To study the health, school and work needs of the Negro population. (c) To develop agencies and stimulate and meet those needs. (d) By training the protection to increase the industrial efficiency of Negroes and to encourage a fairer attitude toward Negro labor, especially in regard to hours, conditions and regularity of work and standard of wages. (e) To increase the respect for law and the orderly administration of justice. Resolved, second, in the north. That similar organizations be formed or existing organizations urged to take action which, in addition to the purposes already mentioned, shall seek to instruct the Negro migrants; (a) As to the dress, habits and methods of living necessary to withstand the rigors of the northern climate. (b) As to the efficiency, regularity and organization demanded of workers in the north. (c) As to the danger of dealing or going with unsupervised or vicious persons and of frequent questionable resorts. (d) As to the opportunities offered by the towns and cities of the north in schools, hospitals, police protection and emergency services. (e) As to facilities offered by the church, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and other organizations. Progress of a West Virginia School. The West Virginia Collegiate institute at Institute, W. V., has a larger enrollment of students than at any other time during its existence. It is believed that this increase in numbers is due principally to the raising of the grade of the school to college rank. Professor Byrd Prillerman is the president of the institution. He is one of the most capable and popular educators in the state. Under his administration the institute has made great progress. Chinchott.-The future status of the 550,000 colored people who are members of the Methodist Episcopal church north and south was one of the big topics for discussion at the meeting of the Joint commission on union held at Baltimore from Dec. 28, 1916, to Jan. 3, 1917. No agreement, however, was reached on the subject, and the matter has been referred to a special committee, which will meet in Chinchott April 10 in order to make further study of the question and make a report to the full commission, which will meet June 27. The more important features of the difference of opinion between the two bodies and expression in the following: It is reported that the principal block to union is the colored membership of the Methodist Episcopal church. The southern Methodists insisted upon the colored people not being in the general conference with power to vote and make laws. The Methodist Episcopal church commissioners insisted that the colored people were a part of the church; hence no one could displace them in that right save the colored members themselves. Moreover, at the last general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in the quadrennial address of the bishops this statement appeared: "In the Methodist Episcopal church the colored members sustain precisely the same relation to the church that the white members do. Both laymen and the preachers share in all the rights and privileges, including immunities and enoluments guaranteed any other members, and we desire and expect them to continue in membership in our church." That declaration is supposed to set the status of Negro Methodist Episcopalans in the united church. The colored men on the commission, Drs. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., and I. Gariand Peun of Cincinnati, corresponding secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, acquitted themselves in a most creditable manner. They engaged in all the discussions, and those who were loudest in praise of their addresses were the commissioners from the southern church, although the stand of the colored men was for representation in the general conference with voting power equal to any others. The following committee was appointed to make further study of the Negro membership involved in the union question: Bishop Earl Crunston, Washington; Rev. J. W. Van Cleve, Chicago, general secretary of commission on finance; Rev. J. J. Wallace, D. D., editor of the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate; Rev. R. E. Jones, D. D., New Orleans, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate; George Warren Brown, capitalist and shoof manufacturer, St. Louis; Dr. I.

"Cold Settled In His Back" "Foley Kidney Pills always give me prompt relief!" Ed Velton, Rogers, Neb. To Colton, of Rochester, 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 can cheerfully recommend them." The reason Foley Kidney Pills act so satisfactorily is because they neutralize and dissolve the waste matter that remains in the blood because the kidneys do not do their work properly in filtering but casting out from the system uric acid and other pollens. Relief usually follows in a few days and such symptoms as pain in the sides or back, stiff joints, sore muscles, phonation, or frequent action of the bladder at night, and other painful and annoying ailments disappear. Foley Kidney Pills contain no harmful ingredients. They are safe as well as quick acting. AGENTS WANTED Dr. Booker T.

Perhaps in no part of the country are they doing more in a literary way than in this section of the country. The Interstate Literary association of Kansas and the west generally, whose twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated during the recent holidays, stands out prominently as a distinct sign of real progress. Dr. Grant G. Brown of this town, who retired from the presidency at the session held in Topeka, had the pleasure of presiding over the quarter century session of the association. He is one of the most noted professional men in Kansas and is in the front rank of all efforts for racial development. He was born in Linneus, Mo., where he started his education in the public schools of that place. It was while in public school that his parents moved to Atchison, Kan., where he continued ```markdown ``` GRANT G. BROWN, M. D. his studies and made a fine record in both the grammar and high schools, graduating with honors. After his graduation from the high school he entered the State university, where as a student he made good by the side of some of the most brilliant students of both races. He made many friends during his college days. Having decided on his course in life, he entered the medical school at Howard university. Washington, being eager to get the best training possible, he graduated in 1809 in a class of thirty-five. He was among the fortunate in his class, because he was selected as an intern for Freedman's hospital. This is an honor which comes only to a few and is a coveted honor, because it better prepares a man for practical service. In this capacity he served for one year and then returned to his home in Atchison and took the state board examination, which he passed successfully. His worth and ability were soon recognized, and he was selected as the health officer for Atchison county. It was in 1908 that he decided to locate in what is destined to be the greatest city in Kansas, Wichita. He came with a reputation which he had already made in his profession, and it was not long before he had won the confidence of the people of the entire community. Dr. Brown is now a deputy health officer for Sedgwick county, in which the city of Wichita is located. In his work he is often called into consultation by the leaders of both races who regard his opinion as being of great value. He is ever ready to give his time and attention to matters for racial ad- vancement. In society, in public meetings and that which means the training of the mind, helping the young people to think, he is always counted as one of the best workers for their good. He is one of the organizers of the Interstate Literary association, the largest organization of its kind in this part of the United States. The term of office is only for one year; hence it was only in keeping with the rules of the organization that Dr. Brown was allowed to retire, and even then many expressed a desire to have the rule changed. During the past year and under his administration much good has been accomplished through Dr. Brown's efforts. He was presented a handsome token of esteem by the association at the closing of the twenty-fifth annual session of the association, which meets in Kansas City in December, 1917. Rumor has it in this section of the country that Dr. Brown will soon lead a Washington belle to the marriage altar. ```markdown ``` 932 CHURCH STREET PRINTED FORMS For Lodges and Societies All the blank forms you use in connection with your lodges and societies are for permanent records.

C. Dear Editor:—Please allow space in your most interesting paper for a few facts regarding the good people of Zion Tabernacle of this place. They have recently erected a new church edifice at a cost of about $3,500. They have raised over $2,000 within three years and paid every cent of the church indebtedness, burned the mortgage and have a balance in the bank of over $50.00. The amount mentioned above does not include the pastor's salary and other donations made him, not a few. They are now planning to have their church dedeciated to God in June of this year. This church is composed largely of young people who delight in working for the cause of Christ. The membership numbers about 200, the old as well as younger members are very progressive. The Sunday School conducted by Supt. W. H. Sumner, and the B. Y. P. U. led by Rev. B. D. Harrell are doing splendid work. Supt. Sumner is an untiring worker. This organization made its annual report to the Conference last Saturday which showed splendid work, with less than 75 members who raised during the year 1916, $138.37, with which they placed an organ in the church, bought a drugget for the choir and did other benevolent work. Supt. Sumner is a progressive young man and knows how to raise money in a Sunday School. J. T. DOLES, Pastor. Severe Cold Quickly Cured. "On December first, I had a very severe cold or attack of the grip as it may be, and was nearly down sick in bed," writes O. J. Metenuf, Weatherby, Mo. "I bought two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it was only a few days until I was completely restored to health. I firmly believe the pulpit and announced his theme, "Lord, teach us how to pray." that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is one of the very best medicines and will know what to do when I have another cold."

Grand total Building Fund and Current Fund, $3,949.46. Just after making the last payment several years ago of $10,000.00 and interest, the board had to borrow $1,700.00 to repair same. With the close of 1916 they have cancelled this debt. The expenditures were as follows: Salaries $1065.00; Fixtures and repairs, $250.59; Heat, light and water, $509.06; Religious Dept., $170.13; Social Dept., $19.35; Physical Dept., $90.23; Notes and interest, $1,802.00; Insurance, $43.10.

About two weeks ago the daily papers of the city published a statement that Mrs. Gibbs, who had recently died, had left $500.00 to the Y. M. I., but this has not as yet been turned over to the board. The General Secretary, N. M. Martin, and the board of directors headed by Mr. Perry Hemphill, are to be commended for their year's work. I might state that it was through the personal effort of Mr. B. J. Jackson and the General Secretary that the $115.00 was raised for the reading room.
