Martha Merrick Library Dedication Event of Great Importance — Dr. James B. Dudley Delivers Eloquent and Forceful Address. (By G. W. Nicholas). Kittrell College, N. C.—The thirteenth Commencement Day program of Kittrell College last Thursday and the many advance steps taken by the Trustee Board mark the dawn of a brighter day for this useful institution. It was with much sorrow that we accepted the resignation of Dr. C. G. O'Kelley as President of the institution, for he has done great things for the school during his five years as its head, and has left a lasting impression for good upon all who were fortunate enough to come in contact with him. Still in the election of Prof. G. A. Edwards, a graduate of A. & T. College and Cornell University, and for fifteen years a most successful and popular teacher at Shaw University, we feel that we have gotten the men best fitted and equipped to take the place made vacant by Dr. O'Kelley's resignation. Indeed we count ourselves most fortunate in securing so able a scholar and fine a gentleman as Prof. Edwards, who with his large experience in school work, and his many and varied accomplishments ought to make the school go forward as never before in all the years of its history. The event of greatest importance after the election of the president, was the dedication of the beautiful "Martin Merrick Library." In the selection of President James B. Dudley of the A. & T. College, Greensboro, N. C., to make the dedicatory address, no mistake was made for President Dudley measured up in every respect to the occasion. Being introduced as only the eloquent John R. Hawkins could, Dr. Dudley gave us a gem in the way of literary composition and a classic many averred, and so eloquently and forcefully did he deliver his address that we sat spellbound as he told us the value of a library. He called it "n repository in which are stored the wealth of the ages—not that of diadem nor coronet — that which sparkles and glitters from the flash of jewels and diamonds, but the enduring wealth of master minds." His tribute to the donor, Mr. John Merrick, distinguished citizen, great financier and noble philanthropist was fine and even elegant, but well deserved, for well did he say that the gift was unique and probably the first of its kind in the history of Negro assemblies. We were yet again to hear a masterly Commencement address, by that master of composition, learned in the Greek Classics with a style and address like the premier orator Demosthenes himself, whom he must have closely studied. I refer to Dr. R. B. McCrary, distinguished Mason and successful business man, and as I have said, an orator of the first magnitude. I haven't time or space to speak more of that masterly oration, but any one who has ever heard Dr. McCrary speak will know that I use no exaggeration in what I have written concerning him. Dr. E. H. Hunter was asked by Dr. C. G. O'Kelley to introduce Dr. R. B. McCrary and these three distinguished persons, great preacher, great teacher, great orator were all members of the great class of '85 of Lincoln University. It was North Carolina Day at Kittrell, for with Dr. Dudley and the three above named gentlemen, the new President Edwards (sounds nice, doesn't it?) I have yet to speak of perhaps a still more romarkable and successful scion of the Old North State, who did the biggest thing I have ever heard of any Negro doing before. But he is a big man and holds the biggest job in the world of Negroes, some one will say, but this would make some men small. When you talk of orators he is second to none, and financiers, he is first and in a class by himself, he must altogether a big man for he did a big thing at the Commencement. Let me relieve your anxiety by telling you who this big man is and what big thing he did. Prof. John R. Hawkins, lawyer, financier, orator and premier bookkeeper. Ever hear him tell about "That Dollar" (remember all these distinguished North Carolinians: Drs. Hunter, Dudley, McCraarey, O'Kelley, Hawkins know and appreciate the value of a dollar) but back to Dr. Hawkins and his title to bigness. Prof. John R. Hawkins through Bishop J. Albert Johnson announced that Lillian M. Hawkins, wife of said Prof. Hawkins, had given two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) for the erection of a new chapel at Kittrell College. Thereupon Bishop Johnson announced that Mrs. Johnson, his wife has given the first one hundred dollars towards the additional $2,500.00 needed to build the chapel. Nor is this all. We can almost speak with assurance because we are so confident that with the additional $600.00 to be raised by the Virginia Conference; $1000.00 by the Baltimore Conference; and the balance of some $5,000.00 by the two North Carolina Con- The Journal and Guide ferences, all to be in hand by the 31st of this month, we will with this $12,500.00 go to the Messrs. Dukes and have them pay over the $12,500.00 they promised to give us if we raised our part. So that we can affirm that we will by the 31st of this month have the $25,000.00 in hand. Surely there is a brighter day ahead for Kittrell. Plans were laid at the trustee meeting for the erection of a modern brick boys' dormitory to take the place of the one destroyed by fire. Once again big hearted Mr. Hawkins came in and by his generosity will enable us to house our boys 'till the dormitory is completed. A business manager, an administrative board and a raise of $2.00 per month on students boarding expenses, making the minimum fee of $10.00 per month for all students desiring to go to Kittrell for the future. The high cost-of living is responsible for this raise on board. There were seventeen graduates, eleven normal, four domestic science and art and two commercial. Bishop J. Albert Johnson conducted the business of Trustee Board in his skillful and business like way, and all these new and splendid features were added and the dawn of a brighter day is already apparent for Kittrell. Both Virginia and North Carolina had a large representation at the trustee meeting. CAPE CHARLES NEWS. (W. P. Jefferson.) The Northampton Lodge No. 3150, G. U.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, MAY 19, 1917 HOWARD UNIVERSITY GETS TRAINING CAMP WILL PREPARE COLORED MEN FOR OFFICERS IN UNITED STATES ARMY More Than Fifteen Hundred Applicants From Leading Institutions of the Country Already On File—Plan Endorsed By All Schools—Howard Foremost In Camp Movement. (By Alphonso Land.) Washington, D. C., May 16. At last the earnest efforts made to secure a camp for the training of colored officers have been successful. The great victory means that the many young men in the colleges and universities, who are eager to become leaders, leading their own colored through the din of battle to victory, now have been presented the opportunity to prove that they can lead as well as follow. Too much credit cannot be given to Dr. Spingarn credit for his efforts in bringing about the success of the camp. Howard University also deserves much credit. This institution not only stands ready to furnish leaders along the milder pursuits of peace but it stands ready to render service in the sterner emergencies of war. Howard displayed its patriotism when it, by formal declaration, offered itself "mind, body and estate" to President Wilson. Immediately after this declaration, Howard took the lead in the camp movement and sent out student committees to other colored institutions to urge their co-operation in order to bring about the establishment of a COLORED OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP. The Central Committee was composed of both members of the faculty and students, with Professor Montgomery Gregory at its head. The diligent work of this committee at the War Department, with the co-operation of other students, who kept Congress flooded with letters, effected a speedy establishment of a training camp for the training of colored officers. Other committees, composed of students elected by their peers, to go to Atlanta, Fisk, Lincoln, Union, Taledega, Biddle, Hampton, Virginia Institute, Tuskegee Institute, and other prominent institutions of learning. They placed before the faculties and students of these institutions the technical points of the movement and showed the necessity of their co-operation. Every institution visited by this committee not only approved of the proposition, but also responded readily to the building up of a sufficient number of applicants for the proposed camp and Lincoln and Union Universities sent student representatives to Howard University to offer their service for the furtherance of the cause. And now more than fifteen hundred applications have been made. The opportunity to become officers has presented itself; we have now the The Ivor Meeting of April 21st The patriotic celebration held in Ivor, April 21st, did honor to the colored citizens. Mayor L. C. Pully spoke in complimentary terms of the loyalty of the colored people. He was followed by Ex-Mayor R. H. Rawls, who in pathetic tones made mention of his early training at the hands of a Negro woman. Rev. G. E. Miles, pastor of the Methodist Church, was introduced and in a scholarly manner he presented facts from history which proved the past loyalty of the race. The next address, which strongly appealed to the hearers, came from the lips of Mr. E. P. Johnson. He in his introduction, referred to the prophecy of the time, when the lion and the lamb should lie down together. He declared that we are not Afro-Americans, but loyal, patriotic citizens. He reviewed the history of the Negro in the war of 1776; his devotion to the flag in 1812; his faithfulness in 1863-65, and declaimed that the valor and heroism then shown still burns in the Negroos' breasts. In closing he pledged the faithful service of the race in the present crisis of our country. Mr. A. B. Doles, next introduced, urged loyalty on the part of every colored citizen. Resolutions were adopted, and the spirit "To raise not only enough produce to feed ourselves, but for those allied nations needing assistance" prevailed the body. IVOR COLORED CITIZENSHIP. WILMINGTON, N. C. (T. H. Snead.) Rev. A. J. Boney, of Castle Haynes, preached a splendid sermon at Central Baptist Church Sunday night. Rev. J. H. Bryant, of Watha, N. C., was in the city last week. Mrs. E. P. Whitehead, or Burgaw, N. C., was among those on the sick list last week. Mrs. Addie Johnson, Mrs. Rosa Johnson and Mrs. E. A. Carter are still on the sick list. Miss Ellen Allen and Mr. Joseph Tate were married April 28th, 1917. They are now residing at their new home, 515 N. Eighth Street. long wished-for chance—the chance to prove our ability to lead, as well as to follow. It has been supposed that the color of the leader accounted for the efficiency of the colored soldier during the Civil War. He fought gallantly and proved to be the best soldier in the army. This was not due to the fact that he was officered by white men, for he has also proved to be the best soldier under colored officers. An immediate example of his efficiency while officered by colored men can be seen in the work of the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia during service on the Mexican border. Now that this splendid opportunity has been accorded us, we should take advantage of it, and cast aside the idea of segregation. When Dr. Spingarn introduced this movement before the public, he told them to lay aside their prejudices for patriotic reasons. It is a fact that when we think of the segregation and unjust discrimination which have hampered our spirit and progress, there arises a feeling of indignation to think that the same will be carried into war. But, now, in this grave crisis, there is no time to entertain thoughts of prejudice when such a movement is presented to us. Many of our people, however, objected to the statement of Dr. Spingarn to lay aside their prejudices for patriotic reasons. If the thoughtful colored Americans had stopped to think of prejudice, we would have no camp today. But the thoughtful colored men realized that the establishment of this camp for the training of colored men, would afford a great opportunity for the Negro race whether segregated or not. It was the work of these men that brought on the camp victory. It is our duty to encourage every volunteer who has so nobly offered himself; who is so anxious to make a noble history for his race and show the world that when given a chance he can prove to be just as efficient, proficient, loyal, and patriotic as men of other races. This is not the time for abuse and discouragement from our own race, for if we shamefully fail in this attempt we shall become an object of ridicule to the whole world. It is, therefore, our sacred duty to exert every effort to make this cause a success, and prove to all the world that the Negro is equal to any task placed upon him. Every man who enters this camp feels that a grave responsibility rests upon him; that upon his success or failure hinges the development or degradation of twelve millions of people. The Howard girls, as well as the boys, have shown that they can serve their country in this great national crisis. A Red Cross unit has been organized and for weeks the members have been drilling and training for service. On the twelfth of May, when President Wilson reviewed the great Red Cross parade that took place in Washington, there was in the midst of the parade a corps of colored girls whose faces beamed with loyalty and patriotism. Over them floated the banner which bore the gilted letters "Howard University". Joseph Benson Foraker Dead Joseph Benson Foraker Dead Joseph Benson Foraker, United States Senator and a staunch friend of the Negro died at his home in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 10th, 1917, at the age of 70 years. Senator Foraker is remembered by the Negroes as the man who opposed the discharge of the Negro soldiers, who were charged with the shooting-up of Brownsville, Texas. Patients Surprise Nurse Waters. The patients under the care of Miss Octavia Waters in Campostella and Berkley very delightfully surprised her on the evening of May 3rd as an expression of their gratitude. Mrs. Rosa Williams in a unique way presented her with a purse and Miss Ellen Smith held the reception at her home. Miss Waters appreciated the affair very much. Reception in Honor of Mr. E. B. Tucker. The Southern Aid Insurance Company's Agents of the Norfolk division, gave a farewell reception in honor of Mr. E. B. Tucker on Friday evening, May 11th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Hamnic on Avenue B. Mr. Tucker, after ten years with the Southern Aid Insurance Company, has resigned to take up the distribution of the Virginian-Pilot among the colored population of the city. Mr. C. J. Williams acted as master of ceremonies and introduced Mr. Hamnic, district superintendent, who spoke in the highest terms of the honesty and straightforwardness of Mr. Tucker during his years with the company. Others who spoke of the worth of Mr. Tucker as a business man and citizen were: Messrs. J. H. Hamlin, Chas. Llewellyn, P. B. Young. Miss Nannie Holmes and Mr. Hill rendered solos, which captivated the audience. Mr. Tucker in very fitting words responded. There were about fifty ladies and gentlemen present to do honor to Mr. Tucker. Delicacies of the season were served after which the guests left wishing for Mr. Tucker many more years of useful service.

Hatcher preached the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates of the public school. The sermon was very touching and impressive. He also rendered one of his original songs. On Monday night, May 14, the commencement exercises were held. The rendition of the program showed that much care had been taken in the training of the children. Much credit is due to Prof. Jordan and his corps of able teachers for their successful work in our community. They have not only shown interest in the public school work but in the church and Sunday school as well. We shall be glad to welcome them back for the next school year.

HUGHES COOPER OFFERS ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE PREPAREDNESS MOVEMENT. Urges Audience To Prepare For Strenuous Future Which Confronts Country—Sees Opportunity For Negro In South. Columbia, S. C., May 16. At morning chapel, Mr. Cooper in an inspiring way made plain the food situation and did not hesitate to show the friendliness of the well-thinking white people for the good colored people of the South. The students received his message and greeted him warmly. He urged them to prepare for the perilous conditions that confront us and to this intelligent audience he presented all phases of the question leading up to the possibilities and uncertainty of Russia's position in the great conflict and the admitted demonstration to the world of the food supply. They were all urged to prepare for every avenue to, to economize and take the message back to their homes in the various section of South Carolina, warning people of their danger and to join in the efforts to increase agricultural advantages and raise foodstuffs. Mr. Cooper also made a strong plea along the line of the opportunities for the Negro who would work in the South. Mr. Cooper was introduced by J. J. Atwell who cited the strong part that the American Negro has played in all wars in which the United States was concerned and told of the sincere patriotism that was expressed from all sides. He referred to the substantial opportunities in the South for the colored people and pled that the white people might give some thought to better wages and a square deal in order that the trend of migration might not be so large. He urged the establishment of Thrift Club Plan. Both speakers were met with hearty applause. President R. W. Mance presided. There were also a few remarks by Mr. Dickerson, the teacher of the North and a nephew of the late Bishop Dickerson who founded Allied University. A Thrift Plan. During the natural extravagancies that are common during this season of the year, and in view of the perils that will very likely confront the working masses hereenbouts in the winter and spring, such a plan would afford us an opportunity for placing in the savings department small sums that would otherwise be squandered. We make the suggestion that the Thrift Plan cover a period of 50 weeks, for 2, 5, 10 and 25 cents savings, with the customary interest as an inducement. The entire management would be with the bank and we would advise absolute control and deposit to the bank as is customary with the Christmas Savings Clubs. The Bank of Columbia is seriously considering the advisability of inaugurating a Thrift Club for colored people of Columbia and community, as a part of the plan for civic preparedness. BASS' DRUG STORE NEWLY FITTED AND RE-STOCKED.

At the Teachers' Meeting held in the Chestnut Street School, Thursday, May 10th, an address was delivered by Prof. Charles Stewart, of Chicago, on "Child Study." Mr. Stewart is connected with the Associated Press and then his broad experience and superior knowledge of life's material things gave to the teachers thoughts and facts worth while. Saturday morning, May 12th, the public school teachers of Portsmouth assembled in the Orpheum Theatre, High Street, to listen to a very helpful address by Mr. O. McBrien, Commissioner of Education, Washington, D.C. His subject was "The Essentials to Successful Teaching." In a practical, forceful, humorous manner, he drove home many truths. Wedding bells were ringing sweetly last Sabbath afternoon at the home of Mrs. Rachel Williams in Glasgow Street, where friends witnessed the quiet and happy union of William W. Brown, and Miss Effie Reed. Mr. Brown is a student of the law school at Lincoln and the bride a public school teacher in Norfolk and was given away by Mr. John Barnes. The ceremony was solemnized by the Rev. Mr. A. D. Weaver. Ices were served. The couple is spending their honeymoon in Baltimore. The Deaf, Dumb and Blind School of Newport News, Va., held its first Annual Commencement Friday, May 11th, a fitting climax to the pleasant and profitable year both for teachers and pupils.

Gordon's Laboratory THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE ELLISON'S MODEL By RUTH GRAHAM The two countries that are the choicest depositories of art are Italy and Spain. Italy is regarded as the world center of art, but it has been asserted that there are more famous pictures in the galleries of Spain than in any other country. The paintings of the great Murillo are chiefly to be found in the Spanish peninsula. It was for this reason that Tom Ellison, American art student, when he went abroad to study chose Spain in preference to Italy. He was a great admirer of Murillo, who has left the world so many beautiful pictures of the Madonna and the Christ Child. On reaching Spain Ellison hunted up the various pictures by the artist he admired and became more infatuated with them than ever. He was seized with a desire to paint a picture the central figure of which would be of the type of one of Murillo's Madonnas. For this he must have a model, and for his model he went up into the mountains, hoping to find her among the dark eyed Spanish daughters of mountaineers. One day while walking on a road on a plateau he came upon a girl tending a small flock of sheep. As he came near her she raised her eyes to his, and he knew at once he had found his model. There were in them trustfulness, purity, love. It occurred to Ellison to paint her as he found her sitting on a rock, a crook in her hand, a little lamb in her lap, while the sheep were nibbling the grass about her. To call out the expression he desired Ellison clatted with her, or, rather, to her, for he did most of the talking. He was a handsome fellow, with a musical voice, and had the faculty of imparting information attractively, and the girl listened to him with wrap attention. But she said nothing. Every day Dolores—that was her name—was at the place he first saw her tending the sheep, and every day Ellison brought his easel, and while she posed for him on her rock seat he sat on his camp stool before her with his canvas set up on his easel. Gradually the picture took shape, but the artist was a long time about his work. The position he chose for the girl was looking straight at him, for he wished the figure in the picture to appear to be looking at whoever gazed upon it. Ellison was so absorbed with his work that he did not notice what any one else would have seen plainly—that the girl was as much absorbed in the artist as the artist was absorbed in his picture. Another strange feature is that he got something of her wrapt expression on the canvas without being aware of what was causing it. When the painting was finished Ellison was delighted with it. And he had cause to be. It was a beautiful picture of a shepherdess-pure, innocent, loving. Ellison produced a gold piece, which he handed to his model, for he considered her well worth the price he paid for posing. She refused to take it. Ellison made every effort to induce her to do so. Failing, he gave her his heartfelt thanks. She was at the time looking up into his face with the same expression as when she had been posing. She looked so sweetly innocent that he bent down and kissed her as he would kiss a child. "I go down the mountain tomorrow," he said. "I will come here and bid you goodly." Gathering his belongings, he walked away from her. Before passing out of sight he turned and threw her a kiss. She was still looking straight at him with those Madonna eyes of hers, but made no motion. After he had gone a marvelous change came over her face. If Ellison had seen her then he would have wondered how with her for a model he could have made a picture of innocence. Had the innocence been there and had it been warped by love, or rather, the prospect of losing the object loved? The only explanation is that the lower the scale of humanity the nearer to the brute creation. The moods are there, but they have not been cultivated. Looking on the ground, Dolores saw that the artist had left the pipe he had smoked while working on his picture. She took it up and thrust it into her bosom. 'True to his promise, the next morning Ellison appeared to say goodby to his model. He gave her another kiss, which she accepted passively. Ellison noticed that her lips were cold. "Senor left his pipe," she said. "See, I have filled it with tobacco. Have one more smoke before you go." "No; I have only time to give you another kiss. I will smoke it tonight, thinking of you." That evening Ellison at his inn after supper lighted the pipe. There came a tiny flash. He wondered what could have caused it. The tobacco was very bad, and he concluded that he could smoke better of his own weed. Emptying the pipe on a stone pavement, there came several separate small explosions. Under the outer layer of tobacco had been placed a charge of gunpowder. Had he smoked longer he would probably have been blinded. This episode made a great change in Ellison. What during its occurrence had seemed to him a more trifling affair became later a very bitter memory. He never could again look upon the picture without seeing in the beautiful face not the former innocence, but the tuner wifi of the soul.

ADVERTISING Hampton Institute Notes Colonel Charles E. Hasbrook, Editor-in-chief of the Richmond TimesDispatch, has sent the following telegram to the "Greater Hampton Patriotic Movement," Chicago: "Hampton Institute, in this time of national stress, in keeping with its long and honorable traditions, is taking splendid and efficient steps to develop its men and women into worthy and useful citizens. Its agricultural extension work and instruction in military tactics are its greatest measures of war preparedness." Sergeant-Major C. M. Hooper, of the 5th New York Infantry, National Guard, has sent these telegrams to Hampton Institute: "Heywood B. Hill has recommended William McK. Hubbard, Leslie E. Booker, and John H. Watkins for the Fifteenth Infantry band. They are to receive forty dollars a month in addition to all expenses." "Am sending transportation from Hampton to New York, including sleeper, for W. McK. Hubbard, L. E. Booker, and J. H. Watkins, to leave by the Cape Charles boat to join Fifteenth Infantry band." The Hampton Institute Faculty have granted permission to these students to leave school and report for military service in New York. Heywood B. Hill was a member of the Hampton Institute Senior class. Maurice E. Thomasson, of Monticello, Ark., who is a member of the Hampton Institute Senior class, in discussing the question of Negro Migration, recently said: "The argument that only inefficient, lawless, never-do-well men would be involved in the exodus has been amply disproved by the fact that thousands of most trustworthy men—men who have spent years in the employ of one firm—and many land owning farmers, as well as common laborers, have gone. . . . Here lies the hope that when Southern white people have come to realize that better economic opportunities for Negroes do not decrease the prosperity of white men, but increase it; that better educated Negroes are not refractory, insurgent, but lawabiding efficient citizens, then will Southern men not return to the old order." "Chamberlain's Tablets Have Done Wonders for Me." "I have been a sufferer from stomach trouble for a number of years, and although I have used a great number of remedies recommended for this complaint, Chamberlain's Tablets is the first medicine that has given me positive and lasting relief." writes Mrs. Anna Kadin, Spenceport, N.

Saturday, May 19, 1917 FOOD PRODUCTION AND CONSUMITION. Bread is the staff of life; that is to say, in American and European countries bread is the unit of foodstuffs around which all of the others are gathered to make what we call a meal. But this is far from being true of other countries. As a marked exception among European people, the Irish have the white potato as their unit. The native Hawaiians have as their unit of foodstuffs the poi root, a sort of potato; the Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos and the East Indians, generally, have the rice as their unit. When there is a shortage in this unit the people starve if they do not get relief from the outside, and this has often happened in the past, as many readers of the Journal and Guide may recall. There was a time when corn was the unit of foodstuffs in our Southern States, and when very little wheat or rye bread was seen or eaten. It was that way after the Civil War. Corn meal was made into all sorts of dainty dishes, but the plain corn pone, of meal and salt and water, was the most popular and carried into the system more health and strength than all of the hifalutin dishes made of meal and other things by the ambitious cook. But wheat, in the long run, supplanted corn, and is now regarded all over the country as the unit of foodstuffs. What is the wheat prospect, then, becomes of paramount importance to everybody. The following Associated Press dispatch, therefore, will be of general interest and information: Washington, May S.—Official wheat crop estimates, announced today, show that with the world facing a dread shortage, the United States, unless it cuts its present consumption, probably will produce only enough wheat this year to supply its own population. The forecast, compiled by the Department of Agriculture on conditions May 1, put this country's winter wheat yield at 366,000,000 bushels, the smallest in thirteen years. There will be no estimate of spring wheat acreage until July, but with a crop of 250,000,000 bushels, which is higher than the average, this country would grow this year a total of only 616,000,000 bushels. The normal American consumption with seed requirements, is put at slightly more than 600,000,000 bushels. The Allies' wheat requirements for the coming year are put at 500,000,000 bushels, as a minimum. The United States will be asked to supply more than half that amount. Wheat crops in other parts of the world are poor. The Argentine crop failed, and home consumption will require the entire yield. Canada's production is confined chiefly to a spring crop of normally about 200,000,000 bushels, much of which is available for export. Already, in many cities of the country, the five-cent loaf of bread has gone out of the market, having given place to the ten-cent loaf. The size has not much increased. It will more likely grow smaller than larger. This means untold hardship to the very poor, who make up so large a part of the population of every city, and entails much sacrifice and self-denial upon the average person who depends upon a stipulated wage to feed his family, often a large one, and to pay the rent and fuel and clothing charges besides, with little incidentals no man can number or figure upon until he gets to them sneaking in on the side. Already it is estimated that the Federal tax on the war account will be $33 per capita, with the State, county and municipal taxes to be added. There are plenty of signs, in what we have to pay to live, that the war is here, although we do not hear the trump of the soldiers marching to the front war the year of the war guns on the battlefields. War has many ways to make itself felt and heard and feared, and pinching the bread allowance is one of the most terrible. In view of all the facts in the situation, it should be the first duty of the farmers who read The Journal and Guide to plant all the space possible in wheat or corn, and to raise as many hogs, and other domestic food animals, as they can, not only for their own use, but because there will be a ready demand for any surplus they may have by the millions who are not so situated as to raise such things. Now is the time to think about planting and to plant. AS OTHERS SEE US. Robert Burns, the masterful poet of the Scottish people, as Paul Laurence Dunbar is of the Afro-American people, was deeply instructed in the joys and miseries of human existence. He was forced to drink deeply of the elixir as well as of the dregs of life. In one of his poems he says: "O, would the gods the gift to give us to see ourselves as others see us!" There is a whole volume of agony in that outburst. No person, it seems, can see himself as others see him. His eyes are, apparently, blinded for that very reason, so that most of us go on from day to day thinking and doing the same things and imagining that we think and do them of ourselves, when nothing is farther from the truth. So with large masses of people, who seem to think and act from the same impulse, as in the world war in progress now; they have been educated to think and act as they do without knowing it, the subconscious influence in human affairs so far predominating the conscious. The people of the United States, the ruling white and mixed white majority who make and enforce the sentiment of the country, think they are the freest and best people on the earth. But are they? And they never tire of advising the people of other races and countries as to how they should think and govern themselves, and are often considered to be uppish and insolent for doing so, but are in no wise phased by it. We have had much to say, then, about the Irish people and the way Great Britain rules Ireland. Recently many Congressmen and others petitioned Great Britain for a redress of Irish grievances, as they are called. Concerning this petition a London disnatch says: London, May 5. — Frederick Harrison, the famous historian and publicist, in the course of a long letter to the Morning Post on the "Irish Dilemma," says Englishmen welcome with enthusiasm the entrance of the great republic into the tremendous war, not merely because we are new fighting side by side, but rather because it manifests that the combined cause is that of civilization, humanity and peace. But does this comradeship in arms quite justify American politicians, however eminent and friendly, thrusting themselves into our municipal politics at a moment of internal crisis? As an Englishman, I wonder to see my stalwart friend Roosevelt and so many leaders of American intellect and statesmanship echoing the stale sophisms of our enemies during one of the most inveterate trials to which Britain has ever been exposed. What would Americans do if we intervened in one of their dilemmas—say, if one of the ministers, doctors and preachers were to summon them with a passionate appeal to raise up their 12,000,000 of colored citizens to equal human dignity, to wipe out the national stigma on the commonwealth that every man or woman born with a dark skin is born with the shame of exclusion and the life of a pariah race? Commenting on this righteous arraignment, our esteemed contemporary, the New York News, says: "The great Englishman is right. Let America take the beam out of its own eye, not as a matter of war policy but as a matter of liberty, justice and humanity." That is also a righteous statement of the matter, but time alone, with education and the constant protest that blunts the keen edge of ancient wrongs, will correct the abuses in American life fostered by slavery, the system which the nation had a great price to pay to be rid of. In the accomplishment of this revolution in conditions, based upon "race, color and previous condition," the Afro-American people have as much, if not more to do, than any of their fellow-citizens. It is the constant dripping of the small rivulet in the mountain that eats a passage way to the great waters out in the open. So with human rights denied. Those denied them have to keep on contending until they are given to them. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving memo; of my dear husband, James Ellison Banks; who departed this life May 16th, 1915. Gone but not forgotten. His widow, Mrs. N. A. Banks. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE You will find me just here in and about Norfolk as I take my pen in hand to write to you this week and to say a few words to let you know that I am well and hope when these few lines come to hand they may find you the same. The world continues to move, and at the rate I am going it would appear to you that I am moving with it, but not so, I am just going to be going and seeing to be seeing, and when I am through with all this business, I will some day fold my arms and pass into eternity. I think I was in Baltimore or some other city when I took up the pen last week, and you will see where I am now. I have spent two or three days with Rev. B. F. Watson, Secretary of the Church Extension Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church and now that I have left him, I am in this place, but I made a stop in Fredricksburg, on my way here, and enjoyed very much my little trip there, because I got to see some real men there. There is Rev. Dr. Daniel L. Reed, who came into this world vin Clarksville, Texas, and is a graduate from Guadalupe College, Seguin, Texas, and then took him some theology in Howard University, and is now pastor in Fredericksburg. I had the pleasure of touching him and seeing the Mr. Zion Baptist Church over which he presides as pastor. My stay in Fredericksburg was only one day, and then I left for Fortsmouth, spending the night in Petersburg with Rev. S. A. Brown, pastor of the Gillfield Baptist Church. That reminds me the people of that church headed by their pastor are getting ready to do some changing up there, and believe me you will hardly know the church one year from now, because they are going to put a few thousand dollars into it. Wonderful how they are going to do things. Rev. Brown is indeed a fine man and it is a pleasure to meet him. While it was ruining hard, yet Dr. Brown called for an automobile and it tited us up in the hill to the V. N. I. I, and while the president was away, yet we met with a cordial reception and were made to feel perfectly at home by those with whom we touched. Now there was Prof. Phillips, who is indeed one scholar, and he was in charge of channel exercises. With a face full of smiles, Prof. Conner eschewed us to the rostrum, and Rev. Brown, did do some praying and reading of the Scriptures and then they called on me to make a few scattering remarks, which I made. Don't ask me what I said, because it was all I could do to keep my mouth from jumping out of my heart. I got through, I think telling them about war and war times, and then took my sent. Them young people clapped their hands, making me feel like I was some pumpkins in this speaking business. I came down to Portsmouth then to attend the General Baptist Association of Virginia, presided over by Rev. Z. D. Lewis, one of the ripe Baptist preachers of the State, yes of the country. I reported to Rev. J. M. Armstead, the scholar, the pastor of Zion Baptist Church where the meeting was to be held, and he assigned me, or at least introduced me to the committee and it assigned me to Mrs. Patricks, 716 Green street, which was in speaking distance of the church, and a fine stopping place believe me. She met me with a smile and told me to be at home in her palatial residence. Now what happened. I went to the church, listened to the minister auguely the various subjects they had up then, and after this I went to my room and took a sleep, getting ready for the opening the next morning. Of course they opened and right on time. I was there and heard the first hymn and the first prayer. I listened to all the good things that were said, and when it was noon, I went over in Norfolk and looked around there. I met so many of them big people, and talked with them. A trip to Mt. Vernon Hotel, failed to put me in touch with L. W. Bright, but I saw his friend, Mr. Norris, who had a grin on him that would do honor to Gold Dust Twins. Over to the office of The Journal and Guide, caused me to feel like shouting. I felt so happy, that I just had to sing up once "Glory to God in the highest." Mrs. Young looked as if she thought a crazy man was entering the office, but I just told her I was happy over what my eyes had seen. If you just look into this building which The Journal and Guide owns you will feel like shouting also, and will cause you to feel proud of your race. You would not think of leaving the dear old South. I got in touch with a real doctor of the town, D. W. Byrd, M. D., president of the National Medical Association, and one of the men of this race of ours. He invited me to go with him to Lynhaven where they were to have a patriotic meeting, and present a flag to the people. Reaching the place, way down near the ocean we were met at the station by Mrs. Charles T. Ingram, who was interested in the meeting, and she turned us over to a good woman of our race, and said she would take charge of us until the time for the meeting, and that they would move right on time. Our friends are not all dead, and I thank God for this. Mrs. Ingram is interested in the development of our people, and she is willing to do her part to encourage and help us. I have never seen a white woman so interested. She is one of the leading women of this country, and then I was proud to see that she had so many friends to join her. Now there was Dr. Emerson Land, clerk of the county and physician, he was there with his wife and many other white men and women. The speeches were all made, and the flag was presented, and what do you Washington. The Spirit of the Saviour of his country, Abraham Lincoln, must also have been present, with them. HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE AND REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH. By DR. J. W. PIERCE There is probably no skin affection that gives more annoyance and discomfort to one than this condition that is known to the profession as scabies. Its expression in the beginning is very simple and apparently of an insignified nature. But in its development from one degree to another it may assume conditions that may prove to be very serious. This disease is one of the germ chasst that seem to have special selection for the skin areas. Starting as a rule on the hands from which it may be transferred with ease and freedom to the other parts of the body, creating a revolting aspect when allowed to proceed unmolested. Although no one is exempt or free from attack by the organism that causes this disease, but we find it particularly prevalent among children in ordinary life who suffer immensely. And the most unfortunate part of this suffering is during the night when the bugs seem to have their sport with the wigging whose cost is disturbed and health impaired from lack of sleep, and from worry. It spreads rapidly among children because of the close social relationship existing among them in their amusements and sports. The contact is so close that it is not difficult for one child to share with his neighbor his happy or unhappy possession. This is done both by personal touch and through the interchange of books, toys, pencils, hats, wraps, etc. The most prominent feature of this condition is the intense and almost unbearable itching which takes place particularly at night. These little parasites seem to have a fondness for think? They called on me to present the flag. I did do some shaking then. But I got through with it. These speeches were all made, especially the one by Dr. Byrd, and then we returned to Norfolk, all happy and gleeful. I went to sleep in the car, but the conductor reminded me when I got to my place. I spoke just now about our people going to the North. I tell you those who go throw away a splendid opportunity. I look around and see what we have done and what we are still doing. I am ready to say to the young Negro, if you want to be something stick to the South. Now let us see why? If you will go through the South and visit the schools which have been established by the white northern friends to my race, you will find that they are headed by white men and many of the teachers are white. But when you look around and find the schools established by the southern white people for us, you will find in charge of them our own people, and many of them graduates from schools with white teachers. I do not raise any objection to this, but I want you to see things just as they are. Negro lawyers, doctors, merchants, bankers, business men of every kind and grade are to be found in the South. But we are now asking that in order for us to remain down here, that better schools be provided, life and property be protected, and so much of this race hatred, antipathy and prejudice be wiped out. Almost every time the Legislature meets there is to be something new on the race, and the white man says that he wants to get away from the Negro. Some of them, have been trying to accommodate the white man who wants to get away. They have been going in large numbers. But, times are too serious to be making changes. We need every Negro who can, to get to the farm here in the South. There is wealth for him in the ground, and he should get it out. Let us get busy and get so at once. If you fail to get busy then the future is dark indeed. If you run from the farm, and leave it uncultivated you are hurting yourself worse than the white man. We must look to the white man for work, for money and he is in better position to pay the high prices for things than we are, and you may put this down that I told you so. But now I must bring this letter to a stop for this time, and get ready to start South. I am going right into Florida from here. I had the pleasure of meeting that great newspaper woman again, Miss Vann. It seems that she was just born to do newspaper work, and if you believe me she is doing her part of it. She is a woman with great parts. It was to me a source of pleasure to see her and to see how she does her work. I shall have more to say next time. I have not mentioned my visit to the public schools, here, and meeting the teachers. They are a fine set, and then I met Mrs. S. A. Henderson and her two boys. She was at one time a teacher right here in this place, and now she is conducting a kindergarten. Cash or Credit Cash or Credit See CORDELL 575 CHURCH ST. NORFOLK, VA. OPPOSITE WOOD ST.

When the bug begins to work the individual begins to scratch. This process is carried on until the parasites have been made to cease troubling or the victim is lacerated with his finger nails to the extent that large and extensive sores are produced. These don't stop here but without proper care they go on to skin destruction until the person becomes as spotted as a leopard. We said that the hands are attacked first as a rule. And this holds good more or less. Your attention is directed to this trouble first by a little annoying sensation between the fingers. There appear little "pimples" between them and very soon the itching. If this is taken under management then, one could be spared much suffering and annoyance. Ordinary vaseline is not going to do the work in relieving you of the infection; cold cream is not going to cure the itch; healing salves found in stock quantities is a nuisance and effects futile. There is only one proper thing to do when you are infected with this organism. If you want to keep yourself from long suffering; if you want to enjoy your night's rest and sleep; if you want to keep your neighbor from "catching" your itch; if you want to protect your society, then put yourself under the care of your family physician and tell him your complaint. If this is done I am sure your troubles will soon be over and everything will end satisfactorily. The itch will disappear, but it must not be trifled with guesses and home treatment without knowing just what is necessary to bring relief. Remember the sooner the trouble is put under skillful management, the better for you and others. Show Your Patriotism By purchasing Liberty War Bonds that will pay you well as an investment.

James H. Unthanks. Mr. James H. Unthanks, who for more than a year has been in failing health, departed this life Saturday afternoon, May 12th, at his home on Church Street. Mr. Unthanks was a native of Greensboro, N. C., but had been in Norfolk for about ten years, where he was connected with the E. C. Brown, Inc., real estate dealers. Mr. Unthanks made a large number of friends, who deeply mourn his loss. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Delia Brooks Unthanks, and a little son, James H., Jr.; several sisters and brothers, and a number of relatives in North Carolina. The funeral was held at St. John's A. M. E. Church, of which he was a member, Tuesday afternoon, and was largely attended. There were many beautiful floral offerings. W. B. Mitchell. Mr. W. B. Mitchell, after a brief illness of one work, died at his home on Dunbar St. Saturday night, May 12th. Mr. Mitchell for a number of years held a responsible position at the Lambert's Point coal piers and for twenty-nine years was a deacon of Second Calvary Baptist Church; vice-president of the Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association, and superintendent of the Sunday School of Second Calvary for twenty-one years. The funeral was held from the above named church Tuesday afternoon at one-thirty. Long before the appointed hour the church was crowded and many could not gain admission. There were present fourteen ministers. The following spoke: Dr. P. J. Walkace, Dr. A. E. Jefress, Revs. David Harris, J. H. Ashby, and Hon. Wm Boid, of Portsmouth. The Second Calvary Quartette sang and a solo was rendered by Mrs. Josephine Biniham, Lawrence Harrison, and one from a lady of Central Baptist Church, Berkley. Mr. Mitchell's work and worth in the church could but bring sadness to all who were present. Resolutions were read from every department of the church. The following was read from the Home Building and Loom Association: Norfolk, Va., May 15th, 1917. To the Pastor, Officers and Members of the Second Calvary Baptist Church, Relatives and Friends of the Deceased; Brothren: This is to certify that W. B. Mitchel the deceased, was one of the original stockholders of the Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association, Inc., and a director from the date of its organization up to the time of his death, and was serving his sixth year as Vice-President. He was one of the most faithful workers of the Association, having persuaded a large number of men and women to take stock and save their money, and by this means was instrumental in leading several of these stockholders to purchase their homes. The deceased was a firm believer in thrift, a safe and conscientious business man, believed in progress, and a man whose judgment was sought and respected. We are deeply moved by his death, knowing that we have lost one whose worth to the Association cannot be easily replaced. The Board of Directors of the Norfolk Home Building & Loan Association tender its decept sympathy to the bereaved family and friends, and cherishes the hope of meeting him again in the life beyond the river where parting will be no more. Very sincerely yours. SAMUEL L. TUCKER, Pres. C. C. DOGAN, See'y. MRS. MARTHA HUDSON DEAD. After a long illness the summons from the Heavenly Master came to the home of James Albert and Martha Hudson, number 9 Lee Street, Douglas Park, Norfolk, Va., last Friday afternoon, May 11th, about one-thirty, and took away my loving wife, Martha, to rest from her labors and to receive her reward. I can only say God knows best and does everything for the best, and I how in humble submission to His will and say, sleep, Martha, until the trumpet shall sound and I will meet you where parting will be no more. The funeral services were held at the Queen Street Baptist Church, Sunday, May 13th, at one o'clock, Rev. F. W. Williams, pastor, officiating. The body was laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery.

DR. CUMMINGS. Norfolk,Hydro Sanitarium 719 Washington Avenue NORFOLK, VA. LETTER OF THANKS AND TESTIMONY TO REV. CUMMINGS My little girl, Annie, between 14 and 15 years old, was taken some time ago with a very peculiar sickness. I then called my family physician as usual, to see what was the matter with the child. I prior to this child, her elder sister died about a year or more ago with this same trouble. The physician, after trying for some time on the child, she continued to sink worse and worse, in so much that there was no sleep for her at night, could not eat, when we tried to sit her up and give her her medicine, she would, you it up and fall back in bed. Myself and wife hadn't any sleep for nine days and nights, sitting up with the child. My physician then decided there was no hope for the child, that he could not do anything for her; he said that her sister died with the same disease she has. I became alarmed. I remembered that there was a woman across the street by the name of Mrs. Cuffee, whose daughter had been sick over a year, and she had been given over as no hope, and she was cured by Dr. Cummings. I then asked Mrs. Cuffee if she would tell me where Dr. Cummings lived. She then directed me to Dr. Cummings. I went at once to his Norfolk Sanitarium, that hour of the night, told him my trouble, he decided to go to my home at once with me. As he saw the child in a hopeless condition, he asked me who is the physician attending to her. I told him. He asked if the physician had given up his attendance. I told him what the physician said. He then said to me, I will have to bring the child to the institution at once, for the child can be saved if she is brought without delay. I ran right out and got me a buggy. I put my child right into it and took her to the Sanitarium. That was Friday night. Saturday morning I came back expecting to hear that the child was dead, when I came I found my child sitting up in a chair. With the help of the law my child continued to improve steadily, and after thirty days she was completely cured of all her trouble. Friends this is one thing I do know, that my child is in my home a cured child. I know not how she was cured, but this I do know, that this great work which has been done upon my child, it brought her out of all of her trouble. May God continue his blessings on Rev. Commings, that he may continue to heal the poor ladies of the human family. I am, yours truly, MATTHEW, JOHNSON, 1251 Princess Anne Ave., Norfolk, Va.

By OSCAR COX At the beginning of the ever to be remembered war between Germany, Austria and Turkey on the one side and the rest of the world on the other the women of the world who had for some years been taking over the duties of men surprised every one by assuming a variety of work, which relieved their brothers and husbands so that they could be spared for fighting at the front. Besides this, women drilled in the manual of arms for home defense. Toward the close of the war a regiment of Englishwomen who were not content with defending their country, protected by the English channel, demanded to be sent to France to do battle beside the men. Their application was refused, whereupon they stormed parliament and compelled that body to pass a bill for a woman's corps. Regiment A of Infantry—it was decided to classify the women's corps by the letters of the alphabet—reached the front during a retreat of the Germans that was supposed by the allies to be made with the intention of shortening their lines. A portion of the British army, including Regiment A, was following the Germans, whose trenches had been made untenable by the British heavy artillery, and there occurred some of that open fighting which was rarely seen during the war. The women's regiment being raw recruits it was not expected that they would show the bravery of veterans. Their colonel, Mrs. Lillian Vavasour, auxilians that her troops should give a good account of themselves in their first fight, had made provisions against any sudden panic that might seize upon them. As the line advanced the brigade commander noticed a number of light vehicles following Regiment A and asked Colonel Vavasour what they were for. The colonel whispered her reply in the general's ear, who seemed to be perfectly satisfied with it. It is no disparagement to the courage of the women to say that the opening of a cannonade all along the line affected them seriously. It was not the missiles that frightened them, for the German shells fell far behind them, while a British curtain of fire over their beads fell at a safe distance in front of them. It was the frightful noise that caused their faces to pale. And incidentally to this pallor it may be mentioned that on the checks of nearly two thirds of the officers and soldiers appeared dark patches, which was to be accounted for by the ronge, which lost its natural hue in contrast with a bloodless skin. Colonel Vavasseur, watching her troops and seeing that they were about to break and run, called her bugler and made him sound a certain order. He did so, and the wagons in the rear of the regiment drew up in line, and an attendant entered each wagon. Just then the din became so great that the women could no longer endure it. The line wavered, then broke. At another signal from the colonel's bugler minute animals were seen to pour from the vehicles toward which the women were fleeing. There were shrieks from the women and a battling all along the line. "A mouse!" was the cry in the center. "A mouse!" was the cry on the flanks. From the whole line shrieks were mingled with the cries of "A mouse!" "A mouse!" A thousand mice were scattered, running wildly here and there, stopping the way before the regiment. "Soldiers," cried the colonel, "choose between the enemy who stops your retreat and that which checks your advance! The one is a tiny four footed animal but a couple of inches long; the other is a man armed with riles, cannon, streams of fire and poisonous gas. By turning upon such an enemy you will show the world that woman is endowed with all the courage that has for ages been claimed by men. Reform!" So great was the women's fear of the little mouse, which was itself so terrified that it was racing in every direction, that not a woman soldier heard one word the colonel said. Nevertheless every woman turned from the frightened mouse to the terrible Germans. The colonel, seeing them moving forward and believing that her spirited words had ruffled them, selzed a standard and, plaining herself at their head, led them on to victory. In vain the Germans poured liquid fire and poisonous gas and tear gas at the regiment. Occasionally overcome by the storm before them, they were halted, but the greater fear of what was behind them prevented their breaking into flight. The Germans, supposing there was a more determined body of men before them than they had ever yet met, gave way, and that portion of the battlefield was won. The general commanding sent an aid-de-camp to Colonel Vavasour with the following message: "Your regiment has today proved that, while woman may shrink from imaginary danger, she is capable of covering herself with glory before a real one." This remarkable heroism was telegraphed all over the world and gave to woman the entree into a field that she had never occupied before. Few of the standing armies of the world today are without a woman's corps. However, it has been asserted that this cause which has been given for feminine prominence in war is simply a tradition started by some crusty bachelor.

Aside from our regular services which were all well attended and helpful we were favored at our three o'clock service with the presence of the Berkley lodges and Household of Ruth, Odd Fellows in all their gala attire and with all their strength of members and inspiration addresses, solo and other parts of their varied program. Dr. G. W. Nicholas, the pastor, preached the thanksgiving sermon using as a text I. Cor, 16:13. Subject: "Quit you like men." Dr. Nicholas was at his best and delivered a masterly sermon along fraternal, patriotic and religious lines. He held his audience from start to finish in breathless interest now and then arousing them to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. Many said it was the best sermon they had ever heard and all were delighted that they were so fortunate as to get inside. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity and the financial returns were fine. Mr. J. Y. Johnson and Mrs. Reid delivered each a splendid address to their fellow lodge members. Dr. Nicholas attended the fine commencement and trustee board meeting at Kittrell last week and he was appointed by Bishop Johnson as press reporter. See the Guide for his report of the commencement. Sister Fannie Butts and Bettie Bowser, both of Trinity, are on the sick list, but are steadily improving. Our Spring Rally is gathering momentum and promises large results. The beautiful and newly remodeled parsonage next to the church is now ready for occupancy, and Dr. Nicholas will move in soon. Confirmation at Grace P. E. Church. Bishop A. M. Randolph will confirm a class of candidates on Friday evening. May 25th, at eight o'clock. The public is invited to be present. PLEASANT SEASIDE HOME FOR COLORED CHILDREN AND OLD WOMEN. This noble charity that aims to give little children and aged women worm and exhausted with the wear and tear of the city, a breath of pure ocean air and a week of complete rest without cost, meet with instant favor from the best people in the city from the time it started, two years ago. Every thoughtful and charitable person recognized the great need there must be for a place of rest and recuperation for the many deserving and worthy poor, who were unable to obtain such a vacation unless it was provided for them free of cost. This has been the aim of the committee at the head of Ocean Rest to seek out those who needed the rest, and give it to them free of charge, even their railroad fire. In this manner the old women of the LeKies Home have been taken down two summers, last year the children of the children's home of which Mrs. Our Service Department Dr. Pacy is superintendent, spent a week at the home. All were alike enthusiastic in praise of the healthful surroundings. The cottage with the tents that are used in a crowd is within a hundred feet of the ocean and surrounded on three sides with wide piazzas where the cooling ocean breezes can be fully enjoyed by those whose nerves are worn to a frazzle. It is the desire of the committee having the home in charge to plant a garden this year so as to reduce the cost of living. To this end they appeal to the generous public to help them buy suitable plants and seeds and have the ground ploughed and cultivated. In these trying times when the world is feeling its need of strong, healthy men, whether white or colored, when Virginia as well as all other parts of the South is being plundered of her colored labor; when the colored men may be called upon to stand side by side with his white neighbor to preserve the jewel of liberty in the family of nations, it would be a fine and noble thing for the best people of Norfolk to show by their prompt and generous response to this honest and worthy call that they do not doubt the Negro's loyalty if they don't want them to leave their old home and will promptly and generously rally to the claims of their worthy poor in their midst. Mrs. Fanny B. Collett, 360 Bute street, chairman of this committee. Mrs. F. B. Dungee, financial and corresponding secretary, 1480 Dungee street. Mrs. P. C. Lenon, recording secretary. Any check sent to either of these addresses or to me for the Rest will be duly acknowledged. CHAS. S. MORRIS, Chairman Executive Committee. 864 Princess Anne Avenue. JOHN M. BROWN CHURCH. Sunday, May 13, was Organization Day and Mothers' Day at John Brown. At 9:30 our Sunday school began and closed with 111 present. The orchestra is a great feature of our Sunday school. At 11 A. M., "The Alchemy of Association" was the subject treated from 2 Cor. 3:18. This was a beautiful treatise on the power of association, the conjure of contact. We were made to see that a beautiful religious character like an education must be "caught" and not merely taught. At 3 P. M., Rev. Hatcher delivered the Commencement Sermon to the public school at Titus Town; subject, "Paradise Unspoiled." Prof. Jordan and the audience were highly pleased. At night Mothers' Day program was rendered. The choir was ready with songs appropriate to the memory and respect for mothers. A paper by Lavenia Tynes, "Our Gratitude to Mother," and a paper by Mrs. Annie McKenny, "Some Thoughts of Mother," were features of the occasion. The pastor delivered a short address on the "Meaning of Mother." Mrs. Jennie Fuller joined the church.

Uncle Billy's Experience By DONALD CHAMBERLIN "Uncle Billy, why is it that all your colored friends marry and you remain a bachelor?" "Don' wan' to git married," replied Uncle Billy, with a grunt. "I fancy you must have been jilted." "I been fooled." "If it isn't a subject too near your heart to speak of, I would like to hear about it." "Near ma heart! Mo' likely near dat spot in ma head wha' de fernologists say de mad is. It war dis way: Mandy war a likely gal, an' I was gittin' to dat age whar a man gits tired o' cakewalks an' breakdowns an' all dat, an' I tink it time fo' me to settle down. I'd been po'ter on a sleeper cyar fo' nigh on to fifteen years, an' de tips war might' big. Sometimes dey war so big I thought I'd rudder be de po'ter dan de president. I tuk all de tips I got 'cept wha' I paid de railroad fo' de privilege ob wo'kin' fo' 'em, an' I tied it up in a red hanchicuff an' put it in de chimbly. "I wa'n't wok'in fo' de railroad any mo'. I war thinkin' bout gain' inter bizness. While I was waitin' fo' somepln' to turn up I reckoned it war might' lonesome light' all alone in ma house by myself, an' I got to thinkin' ob Mandy. Mandy she war twenty, au' I war part' nigh fifty. But I reckoned dis way: De sayin' is, 'Yo' mought as well hang fo' a sheep as a lamb, but I 'spected in matermony fo' de man hits 'Mought as well hang fo' a lamb as a tough ole sheep. So I tole Mandy ef she marry me she don't hab to wok no mo', 'cause I got 'nuff fo' bote ob us. "Mandy say she was within, but I talk notice she didn't say it lak her heart was set on it. But ma heart was set on it, and I often talk notice she was set on it, and ma heart was set on many things, and ma heart was set on many things, with him. He all might good to die, but till she pick up de poker and knock he brains out. After dat she got all he money, an' dat war what she was atter. "I was bigger fool dan dat nun, but I come out in de end better'n he. De Lawd saved me. Somebody tole me dat Mandy war keephr' company will Mose Tucker when I axed her to marry me. I axed Mandy ef dat war so. Mandy say: 'Mose Tucker no' count. I lub yo' better'n all de worl.' Den I say to dat nigger wha' tole me dat: 'Wha' yo' say Mandy lub Mose Tucker fo?' Mandy lub me better'n all de worl.' An' he say, 'No fool lak an ole fool.' But dat didn' count wid me nohow. "Mandy an' me war gwine ter he married on de fourt ob June, when de roses war bloomin'. De dhy bode' de fourt I war walkin' tong de street when I kick a wire hangin' from a telegraph pole. It must' a' been a live wire, kase it tuk all de life out ob me. Anyway I didn't know outtin' twill all ob a sudden I woke up in a coiln. I war lynn in ma house in de idhn room, wha' had been got ready fo' to bring ma bride de nex' day. De lamp war burnin' low, an' dere wan't nobody in de room. "Wha' day gwine leab me all alone fo'? war de first ting I tink ob, 'Ef I'm did I air entitled to de respec' ob a regular colp'. Ef I hain' daid wha' I doin' in a collin? Dut's what' I link to know." "Jist den I hear some low talkin' in de udder room. I listen, an' I hearn Mandy's voice. "Mose.' she said, 'I wonder wha' de ole man kep' he money.' "Mebbe he put it in de bank.' "Don't belieb it. I think he kep' it heath. I'm gwine to look." "I keep still, an' dey go huntin' 'bout in de bureau drawers. In de closet, everywha', twilt Mose he looked in de chimbly. Out he pull de banchleuff wid all mn sabens in it. He an' Mandy dey emptied all de tips I got for fifteen yeas' on a table an' war lookin' at it all wid de green in dere eyes. Den dey began to count it. While de war countin' it I sot up in de codin. Purt' soffo Mandy she turn roun', an' she see me sottin' up lookin' right at her. She gib a shrick an' tumble down on de doof'. Den Mose he turn, an' he see me sottin', an' he backs outen de room, he eyes sot on me all de while he war backin' an' a-buigh' out ob he haid. "I war might' glad. I Jes' dived out ob dat coffin' if I was jumpin' out ob a boat, an' I run atter dat nigga', an' I catched him, an' I made he eyes a lot bigger 'n dey war befo' when he war lookin' at me sottin in de collin. "After I finished punchin' Mose I went back to find Mandy. Dere won't no Mandy dere, an' dere won't none ob my tips what I'd been fifteen yea's collectin' mudder. "When I see Mandy ag'in she try mak' billeve she war might' sorry. I axed her wha' my money all gone to. She say she hain't seen no money. Den I tell her I sor her an' Mose countin' it an' I went atter Mose an' gib him a hamin' an' went back an' she an' de money war hof missin'. Mandy she eried an' said I had a bad dream when I war comin' to muself. "I had Mandy tooken befo' de judge, an' when he heered my accursation he said, says no: "Vo' been puttin' up a job. Yo' bett' go back to heaben, whar dey don' lay up no tre giures." "If dat war wha' yo' call jiltin' den I reckon I war jilted might' bad." An Ambition and a Record THE needs of the South are identical with the needs of the Southern Railways; the growth and success of one means the upbuilding of the other. The Southern Railway asks no favor—no special privilege not accorded to others. The ambition of the Southern Railway Company is to see that unity of interest that is born of co-operation between the public and the railroads; to see perfected that fair and frank policy in the management of railroads which invites the confidence of governmental agencies; to realize that liberality of treatment which will enable it to obtain the additional capital needed for the acquisition of better and enlarged facilities incident to the demand for increased and better service; and, finally— To take its niche in the body politic of the South alongside of other great industries, with no more, but with equal liberties, equal rights and equal opportunities. “The Southern Serves the South.” 14 CALL AND SEE 951 Church St., N WOOD WOOD Cord Hall Q'rtir 9.00 4.50 2.25 Heater Wood..... 9.00 4.50 2.25 Oak Slab..... 7.00 3.50 1.75 Oak and Pine Slab..... 7.00 3.50 1.75 Forrying With Inferior Wood and Order Some of Our Solid, All Quality Slab, or Stick Wood WHITE & BRO TELEPHONES 750, 751 and 7241 Meton Avenue and Norfolk & Western Guide Quality Commencement Announcement Invitations and Program 951 Church St., Norfolk, Va.
