The association was largely attended by men from all over the State, as well as assistants. Tuesday, at 9:30, Dr. R. C.

This Association raised during the year $5,033; at the present session they raised $1,152.25. The next meeting will be held. Joppa Baptist Church, Durham, of which the pastor, Drumhill, Gates County, N. C. From Columbia I went to Behaven, N. C. This was my first trip there. This town is not over twenty-five years old. The people there are progressing in town in this part of the State that I enjoyed better. We were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Hester and Miss Lillian Davis. Dr. W. H. A. Stallings is the pastor of the First Baptist church, Dr. W. A. Taylor, of Washington, D. C., was present Thursday and Friday night of last week. He a assisted in raising money for a church rally which they had. Dr. Taylor served a sample of the church, the same subject both nights from I Samuel 17:10; and The Philistine said, "I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together." This subject was "The Prize Fight." Dr. Taylor is a great power; can hold his people spell-bound can start to finish. Friday, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Hester entertained at dinner Dr. Taylor, Stallings and the writer. This was a delightful dinner and we enjoyed it. I was impossible for me to share with them, but great gifts they all decided I was no tinker cater. Friday Dr. and Mrs. R. W. Jacocks entertained in honor of Dr. Taylor and the writer. The invited guests were more than fifty. This was a surprise to those who were enterprising with me, and we were informed that we were to go to the home of Dr. Jacocks. I was accompanied by Dr. W. M. Caphech. We were delitifully entertained from 11 to 1 a.m. with music, and several courses of refreshments were served. Dr. Taylor very fittingly expressed his desire to be the most agreeable surprise in honor of those who were visitors there. Mrs. Jacocks announced it was given by members of her club. I am sure we all appreciated the hospitality of the warm friends of Beltheim, and hope to meet them soon. I visited Sidney Church, where they had a dedication service. We were accompanied by Prof. and Mrs. Hester. Mr. Hester is vice grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. He is well known in the State and rendered much aid in getting the church building. He is a great race man and highly respected by all who know him. Mrs. Hester is a lovely woman and made me feel that I was in my own home. She had me to meet many of the leading people of her town. Space will not permit them to mention the added to our list, but I want to assure you that no small town has excelled Beltheim. Sunday night Rev. Stallings gave us an opportunity to address his people, and many gave their subscription to him. We reported a report about $8 subscribers, with $80. We do not consider that bad, considering the high cost of living and other hindrances. Many of those new subscribers were obtained at the Association. Holtman has a splendid school, five churches of various denominations and two doctors, Drs. W. M. Capehart and R. W. Jacocks. All seem to be doing well. I could not close this article without mentioning my visit a few weeks ago to another town in Virginia, where I made my first visit, Danville.

A mob of two thousand or more whites, angered because several thousand imported to work in the industries of East St. Louis, attacked the colored people in their section of the city, and several hundred were assaulted in the streets, several being so badly beaten up that they had to be taken to the hospitals. In order to arouse the murderous spirit of the men when they were to revolt, the police report that a white woman had been insulted by a Negro. This scheme was sufficient to whip the murderous cowards into fighting trim again, and they kept at their work, added by members of the Illinois National Guard and the police until several colored men, seeing that they would be forced into another the multifl or the police, very properly began to defend themselves. Three white men were shot, after which the two thousand cowards quietly dispersed.

The native people of Hawaii are among the most interesting in the Occident. Why? Because they are a dying race. In a few more years there will be none of the natives left on the island.

If you have any doubts about it be sure and witness the presentation of the opera, "The Hermit of Hawaii," as presented by the public school teachers of Norfolk, at the Booker T.

It may interest others beside those who have asked. The baby is measured.

Thus, if a baby makes 55 points in his examination with his 900 other points he has 955. Pointing 1 to the left determinally his score is 95.5. Margaret Fields, for instance, six months (twin babies) with 95 points on weight, circumference of head 17 1-2, makes 20 points more. Circumference of abdomen 16 losses. Diameter of chest, 4 makes 5 points. Circumference of chest, 16 1-4, loses. Lateral diameter of 4-3 losses. Arm 10 makes 5 points.

In all Christian countries, and none more so than in the United States, the general opinion among thoughtful people who count for something in the life of the community, is that "Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home." There is not. It makes a very great difference, however, as to whether the occupant of the home own it or being it. To be a little more than a house The General and Guide is interested in the welfare of all of its readers—which do you do, reader, pay rent or own your home? Much of a man's happiness, and that of his family, and his standing among his neighbors depends upon that question and the answer to it. There is hardly a reader of The Journal and Guide so poor as not to be able to buy a home at Riverside upon the terms offered by the Guarantee Title and rust Company, and one can say they are having their advantage in this issue of The Journal and Guide. They will not only sell you a lot on the easiest terms of payment but they will build you a house to live in also, and so arrange it that it will not cost you any more to pay for it than if you were paying rent; with this difference, that after a stipulated time you will own the home the same as paying rent without the agreement being able to buy never going to buy anything in the house and let however long you may rent for the use of them.

It is of the first importance to every people that they protect themselves, as far as they can, from the members of the social organism who belong to the canine race in their fixed habits and ways of thinking and doing things. It is a notorious fact that the human canine, like his four-legged namesake, has no public morals and no private virtues; he is simply a predatorial vampire that sucks the blood of everything that has any that he connects with and that gives no blood in return for that he sucks, the rather returning poison for blood, and death for life. Happily for Norfolk, the dance halls and places of resort where men and women, young folks and old folks, can go and "have a good time," have been wiped out of existence. It will be good for the Nation when they are wiped out everywhere by appropriate legislation, and it is urgently needed that it be done in the large cities of the country. There should be no such places anywhere where males and females can drink and dance together "the dog" and other serpentinely suggestive "ragtime" phantasms, lewd in their contact and movement of the persons engaged in them, and irresistibly immoral and debasing in their ultimate outcome. Unfortunately the Afro-American people do not seem to have reached the point where they can draw the social lines as closely as other race groups can and do draw them, but they have got to get to the point, and The Journal and Guide purposes to help them do so. We should know more about the people our sons and daughters associate and make common with than we do, and where and how they spend their time when they are away from the parental observation. The worst of the social hyenas, and the most dangerous, are those whose occupations take them from place to place, and who are always "out for a good time." They dress well; they have smart ways; their conversation is "snappy and fetching," generally of the "smutly" sort that should be kept out of the hearing of respectable people; they have money, and are "good spenders." Young women of good morals and families take to such people all too readily, and go with them to places and drink, dance and make merry with them in a way that they would be ashamed to have their parents know about. The end of it all is often a hasty and bad marriage that lasts only so long as the man does not tire of the "giddy thing" that allowed him to impose upon her; then, too, there is sometimes no marriage at all between them, except "one of convenience," which ruins the female but seldom phases the male, until his sins "find him out" in the long run, and they never fail to do it. Their sins are just as inexorable as Nemesis Most of these strolling social hyenas, like many of them who are denizens of every city and town, are men "who are married but do not live with their wives," and who always find the women when they arrive in a place who are also "married, but do not live with their husbands." These women are all the more dangerous because they occupy a certain social position and lure young women "to join them" and their "male friends" in late suppers and automobile rides and shows and dances that lead straight to the worst temptations and the direst consequences. The sublist enemies that young women can have, or "scrape acquaintance with," and allow to persuade them to "join us and a few male friends," are these same "married women who do not live with their husbands," or "designing widows out of the Can." They know "the ropes" alright, and having been hung themselves, socially, by them, they certainly, in a short time, hang dead, socially, any young woman with a character and reputation who associates with them and meets their "male friends" often enough. Readers of The Journal and Guide, young women: Do you know any of the social hyenas among you, or who come and go—the male and female sort "who are married, but don't live together," and "who are out of the Can and in for a good time," and who have it, and pay for it, and make the innocent persons they lure into their ways, do so, with moral death and, frequently, with physical death? If you know them, beware of them. HOW NEGRO CRIMINAL STATISTICS ARE MADE. There are two ways of indicting a whole race, in contact with many other race groups, as being immoral and degenerate, and, therefore, incapable of being influenced for good by Christian government. One way is to enforce the laws as against all of the groups, without any discrimination at all; the other way is to enforce the laws as against one of the groups, and to keep a correct official record of its criminal acts, while not enforcing them as against the other race groups, or only partially so. In the administration of the Prohibition laws in Virginia there appears to be a disposition to swell the Negro's criminal statistics by rigidly enforcing the laws as against him, while allowing the other race groups to escape, wholly or in part, the activities of the law-enforcing authorities. State Prohibition Officers have been very active in Norfolk recently, and have made some few arrests for violations of the liquor laws, mostly of Negroes, according to the police statistics and statements of prominent members of the Law and Order League, who seem to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the police authorities of Norfolk. Mr. J. W. Hough, one of the principal speakers in the Colonial Theatre mass meeting of the Law and Order League, last Sunday, is reported in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot of May 29, as follows: "Major Kizer, replying to a charge that houses of ill fame are being operated here openly, says he dismisses it as being unworthy of consideration. "We will not accept this as an excuse for their existence. They exist and the chief knows they are armed him to break into houses in their neighborhoods. These citizens can be produced at any time. Daily evidence of their existence can be seen in front of houses in Main, Brewer and Bank streets. "We will admit the police department is capturing a great deal of whiskey—from colored people, "The fact remains that a great many white people are squiling whiskey who are not being molested by the police. "We do not attempt to discredit the entire force. "If chief Kizer admits that he is the competent catch important whiskey to he will reap or take a vacation for 60 days, putting a sergeant or a captain in his place, I am sure that Norfolk will look different from the way it looks at present." All of which is very informing and interesting, when the high source from which it comes is considered; but The Journal and Guide refrains from discussing the differences between the officers of the law and the members of the Law and Order League, on the time-honored principle that when white folks fall out among themselves colored folks have a small chance, just a small chance, of having the truth told about them and of getting some little justice done them, equally with the other race groups, as a result of the differences. But Negro criminal statistics are made in just the way that Mr. Hough indicates, not only here in Norfolk and Virginia, but all over the Southern States, and not only in the matter of violating the liquor laws, but in violations of all of the laws against morals, life and property. The laws are rigidly and mercilessly enforced against the colored people, but are not against the white people, therefore the criminal record of the colored people is made to appear to be worse and more menacing than that of the white people. It goes without saying that this condition of affairs should not prevail, and we hope that it will be gradually changed and eventually done away with entirely. POOR EYESIGHT CAUSES DISTRESS NERVOUSNESS, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, AND OTHER AILMENTS-INSTANTLY RELIEVED BY PROPER GLASSES Smarting, stinging sensations, frequent headaches, nervousness, dizziness and blurred vision are a few of the more common symptoms traceable to simple defects of the eye which might originally have been permanently relieved by properly fitted glasses. It's best to consult an eyesight specialist the moment you feel that your eyes are "going back" on you. Don't keep putting it off from time to time—the longer you wait, the greater the neglect and the more serious the consequences. Dr. J. E. Masrow, the eyesight specialist, with offices in the Dickson building, corner of Granby and Tazewell streets, makes no charge for consultation, and his prices for glasses are moderate.

In a previous talk on health, we took occasion to discuss in a brief way the overdrugging of infants and children, trying to set forth some of the evils that attend such practice. Now we will consider the overdosing of oneself as carried on by the adult. This is, indeed, a very bad habit and it works against health, producing conditions just the contrary to those expected by self-administration of medicine. We don't refer to those drugs such as morphine, cocaine, etc. against which we are used, which is working untold good for the masses—especially that class who are miserably weak morally—but we have in mind those drugs and medicines against which there is no restriction or curtailment, and are used quite frequently by the ill advised. Standing above all in the list, are the purgatives and laxatives which are much abused, and which keep a great army of adherents constantly on guard maintaining their dignity in the common experience of men and women. There are great many men and women who are actually slaves to this class of drugs, and at the same time undermining and injuring health. Not only are the purgatives and laxatives indicted, but many others that are used with ease and freedom by the common mass of people for any and every little complaint. As in the children also in the adult that often the physician is called upon to treat and relieve a drug disorder which had been established by meddlesome "doctoring." Purgatives and laxatives are a class of drugs, the influence of which is exerted upon the stomach and intestines. In their use they serve to correct certain conditions existing in the stomach and intestines of which one complains. After desired results are obtained, discontinuance of the drugs is imperative. But this is not the case with this large host that use them whether or not. All alliments to this class of people have their origin somewhere along the alimentary canal and therefore a purgative is in order. As a result several things more or less take place. In the first place, where purgatives are taken freely and indiscriminately, normal intestinal activity is perverted, and a fixed bad physical habit is formed that cripples nature's process of getting rid of things that are in the intestinal tract, and are at variance with good health. Where in some instances it was used for the first time occasionally for interference with the regularity of intestinal activity for removing certain wastes from the tract the frequency with which it is used, creates a permanent condition of inactivity which requires a resource to purgatives almost daily if certain results are obtained. In the second place, purgatives weaken and paralyze the action and function of the intestinal glands that are concerned in secreting a fluid to assist in keeping the tract in proper shape. This is brought about by over-stimulation from the use of large quantities of purgatives and laxatives. Again, the influence, of purgatives used very often, produces bad prominent results upon the digestive process, thereby disturbing the general health by lack of proper nutrition. In this particular, not only the affliction of the digestive system, the general tissues of the body through failures due to overdosing the tract under false notions of needs and demands. Purgatives have another effect of reducing the fluids of the tissues by their too frequent employment. There is always a certain quantity of fluid in the tissues to meet the requirements and when purging is carried too far, it vilifies the physical economy. Any drug taken beyond a certain limit is directly opposed to the best interests of the constitution of the body. And I don't know of any practice of taking medicine, than the use of fluids of purging themselves, so often, with purgatives themselves. Their mistake in overdosing themselves is just as bad as that of over-drugging their children. The same question resolves itself into this, that wherever persistence is imperative for administration of drugs, the method should be under skillful direction. This is safety first as well as "preparedness." CAPE CHARLES, VIRGINIA. Bowel Complaints in India In a lecture at one of the Des Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary from India told of going into the interior of India, where he was taken sick, that he had a bottle of Chamberinian's Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with him and believed that it saved his life. This remedy is used successfully in India, both as a preventive and cure for cholera. You may know from this that it can be depended upon for the milder forms of howel complaints that occur in this country. For sale by all drug-gists. Mr. Vernal C. Hodges, son of Mr. and Mrs. C.

It is a school open for business and teachers who are in attendance will find that during the four weeks spent there they will be given as much in the way of systematic instruction, under ideal conditions, as can be found anywhere in the State. The Uniform State Examination will be held at the close of the Normal and all the privileges respecting renewal of certificates, etc., will be granted to teachers attending the school at Christiansburg. Rates for board will be as reasonable as they can be made because of the excellent truck farm, from which vegetables to the school are supplied.

WHAT SENATOR MASON said would never recommend medicine of any kind. I believe that the doctor's place. However, after the hardest political campaign in the nation, for education, I had been starting to court every morning with that horrible tired feeling one cannot describe. I was advised to try Nuxel oil. At the time, I was a doctor and drug legislation. I was at first touble to try an advertised remedy but after advising with one of my medical friends, so he was my medical friend, so he held in my own case I made up my mind to let my friends know about it, and you are at liberty to publish this statement. I am not sure of the years of age and I feel that in remedy which will build up the strength and increase the power of endurance of a man of my age he would be the man known to run-down, unnice man, woman and child." Senator Mason's statement in regard to physicians who were requested to give "heir opinions thereon." Dr. Howard James, late of the Manhattan State hospital of N. N. and State hospital of Brooklyn State hospital paid "Senator Mason is to be commended on handling out this statement on Suxated iron for public print. The iron—Nuxatox iron—to give increased strength, snap, rigor, and staining power. It enriches the blood, brings roses to the cheeks of women and is an unfitting source of renewed vitality, enduring strength and too rapidly their nervous energy in the strenuous strain of the great business competition of the day!" Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician who has studied abroad in great European medical institutions, said. Senator Dasse is the first in hundred years over organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. "Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and a woman who was a sex education for life insurance. I was stonished to end him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as full fury as I was. In fact, young men be really sad, now distinguishing his size. The secret he said, was taking organic iron-Nuxatox iron from him. He was in bad health; at forty-six he was core-worried nearly all in. Now at fifty, after taking Nuxatox iron, a miracle of breathing with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to encourage your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much you exercise, you merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it and as a consequence you become weak, pride and sickly to king Reception. JOHN H. HARRIS Former United States Senator Wm. E. Mason, recent by elected Member of the United States Congress from Illinois Senator Mason's championship of Pure Food and Drug legislation, his fight for the rural free delivery system, and his strong advocacy of all rights in labor and the right of the masses' age and combined, made him a national figure at Washington and endured him to the hearts of the workers' man and the great-mussier of people throughout the United States. Senator Mason of the election of being one of the really lifes of the nation, his strong endorsement of Nuxed Iron must convince any intelligent thinking reader that it must be a preparation of very great mark and one which the Senator feels to bound to be of great value to the masses of people over-whereotherwise he could, or afford to lend his name to it, especially after his trong advance of pure food and drugs legislation. Mother Nature Since Nuxatid iron has been used in many people using it annually, other iron preparations are recommended in the blood of the mother, and other readers should remineralize that there is a vast difference between an iron preparation in a form that can be easily stored in Nuxatid iron, which refere always insist on saving it, and an iron preparation in Dr. Howard James' late of the M. Mhattan State Hospital of N.Y. that it may peacefully be stored in a North State Hall or another paved house. NOTE: Nuxatid iron which is preserved and recommended alone by physicians in such a great variety of cases is not a parent medicine nor secret remedy, but a constituent is widely or serried by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. The older inpiration of the teeth, makes the skin thick, nor upset the stamina; on the other hand, the metal is made in nearly all forms of editions.

We had a pleasant trip to South Boston last week, where it is always a pleasure to meet the many warm friends of the Journal and Guide. This paper is undoubtedly devoted to the best interests of the race; therefore it is generally admired, and no newspaper has a more permanent place in the hearts of the people. South Boston is still doing a live business, and every industry appears to be succeeding. While there is some talk of war prices and the high cost of living, the people are not losing time with discouragements. Our colored mechanics, merchants, practicing physicians and laborers of every class appear to be driving right on to success, surmounting all difficulties. Insurance companies are all succeeding well, say the managers, Messrs. Smith, Logan, Humphrey and Mr. A. H. Reid, the successful manager of the Virginia Bonfield. It is a pleasure to stop at the cozy home of Mrs. Metts white in South Boston. She is a popular and attractive hostess. Mr. R. E. Hite, who conducts a shoe repairing business, speaks of enlisting in service for Uncle Sam, which he may do if the feminine attractions of the city do not get the better of his inclinations. Leaving South Boston we stopped at Lawrenceville, where we visited the much noted St. Paul School and enjoyed a hearty handshake with Dr. Russell, the principal, and some of the professors. The school having had wonderful success during the present school term, was just entering into commencement exercises. The reasons to be much apportioned and fear of losing her. Dr. Russell as principal of the school and his helpful presence through Boat the State, Dr. Russell having been elected to serve in the State of Arkansas will not willingly be given over to the State. We are at St. Paul Procedure Dolphin, Brown, Gladys, Lorton, Farnsworth and Carslisa Gray and Jiggits, and expressions indicated that they all had done well their part and were all justly proud of the success of the school.

Now I do not have to get up at night, and consider myself in a truly normal condition, which I attribute to Foley Kidney Pills, as I have taken nothing else." Mrs. M.

For the last week or two, our quiet little city has been somewhat stirred up over the question of segregation as it has been existing here since the fall of 1911. In that year our good white friends passed an ordinance releasing quite a number of us to the outskirts of the city. Just why they did it no one seems to know, unless it was for the purpose of putting factories in our stead. See west side of Culloden street. It seems, further, that it is the greatest pleasure of our dear friends to localize us; refuse or neglect to give us water and fire protection and modern sanitation; increase our taxes without improving our streets; and then publish us to the world having the big role mortality having the big role sanitary. But, what is the real cause of segregation? Don't ask. It is so evident that a stranger can see it. And these very good friends, all of them, are regular church-goers. And perhaps they need to be. One needs not once think that they want our prominent city property as being the reason why they relegate us by segregation. It would be a piece of bile absurdity to even think this of our best friends. Several years ago, one of our most successful colored businesses, man bought two lots out in that part of the city now known as East Smithfield. This was long before the city standard its corporate locates so to take on that station. The built two more houses and a new farmhouse to be built on the site. The white house will be built on the site. All will well suit the colored locates to be built on the site.

He thereupon ousted them and put in colored tenants. That is, he threw the fat into the fire. Now, in the fall of 1911, our good city fathers adopted an amendment to the original city segregation ordinance, restraining said original from affecting "any and all of that part of the city then known as the 'Fair Grounds' west of Culloden street and south of the N. and W. railroad," which takes in that very particular and precious spot inidentally mentioned above. By a most assiduous agitation on the part of our dear white friends who live out in that section, our board of councilmen were requested to vote that diabolical amendment from the statute books of our (?) fair city. Did they do it? You see, many of the councilmen had forgotten all about this little, unimportant matter of six years ago, and had to, therefore, defer action until they could look it up. The petitioners were there in full number with the first of all, but only one was told about the News, so we were told the next day. Was not fit to appear in a newspaper. The evening of May 24 was set to decide the whole home of contention. Some 15 or 26 of us most prominent (?) Novrees of the city found ourselves on the back seat to witness the time. The very able attorney for the petition was present. In the second of the last, he was back on the subject of a bill of核酸 in your mind, and my hand was in his hand. In the last few days, he was in his way. He was in a poem which he had been reading and into our mind as a part of them and, intelligent in the council, with him in the same way dear to my heart are the days of my childhood." When I used to play with Nora boys and the best friend I ever had was "my dear old black mommy." And to his the happy thought was good, as that one rights shall never be disturbed, but the whites, and you may imagine how happy we twenty prominent Nora's felt—like? Yes. They voted the amendment out, and now we are segregated all over the city like Mr. Robert Williams and Mr. W. H. T. Tucker were among the speakers, but they used neither sugar nor whiteywash. Bic Baptizing Fully 4,000 people gathered at Dumville's Pond last Sunday are meant to witness the union baptizing of 125 or more of the converts from the union renewal held at the First Baptist Church a few weeks ago. One could hardly guess who were there in the larger number, the colored or the white people. The world will see this great event very soon, as movie picture cameras were there in great evidence. It is to be regretted that some one did not volunteer and give the pond a good bath before the occasion occurred. It is said that the pond was very unsanitary. Snakes, frogs and other undesirables were much in the way. But nothing can damn Rev. J. A. Harrel and P. L. Boone, the two faithful baptizers. They will do their duties whether the sun shines or not. About 90 joined the First Baptist Church, and the others went to the Pine Street Baptist Church. It was a great day for the Suffolk Baptists. To Register This city and county are somewhat stirred up on account of compulsory registration of all males between 21 and 31 years of age. Sheriff E. E. Warner and County Clerk G. E. Bunting are leaving no stones unturned in seeing that all are properly instructed as to how to register. At a meeting held in the office of Mr. W. H. Crocker last Friday morning, quite a number of colored men were appointed to assist the registrars on June 5. Mr. W. H. Crocker and Dr. J. E. Jordan were selected to make a few speeches in the county, explaining how to register. At this meeting were the Mayor, the Sheriff, the County Clerk, Mr. W. H. Crocker and Dr. Jordan. All the celved posters of the city and at the County Clerk's office Saturday morning for a conference and instructions. The County Clerk and Mr. W. H. Crocker spoke at Holland Saturday afternoon, and the Sheriff and Dr. Jordan spoke at Whalebville at the same hour.

AT THE PALACE "Happy" and Jeannette Rounvear opened the week at the Palace Monday night with a dance and a song that went right to the spot and hit it. Their jokes and dances were up to the minute, new and funny, while their gesticulations—"how 'bout it?" Their team work is excellent. "Baby Smile" as their closing, brought down the house. "Happy" is one of the best. Wright and Burton, in "the down and out" stunt, which is as old as it was when Billy Kersands signed the final contract, made good, by putting the proper jump into it. Burton's singing and dancing of "Buzzing Around" was a sure enough riot "buzz," and earned a recall. Singing "Dear Old Broadway," in royal attire, Wright was at his best. "Entering Society" showed Burton to be an accomplished artist. Wright, as "Straight, Man," is fair, but he should look into his articulation and put a shade more distinction into it. As "Sweet Maunna Hester" Rastus Brown was on the job, his monologue being old but one of those that never dies and is always good when it has enough ginger put into it. The pretty Marshall Sisters were in a class by themselves this week. Their singing was of the sweetest and best heard at the Palace, and their team work was of the highest character. Ethel's male personation was good. The costumes of the team was all that could be expected to make effective their parts. "The great big noise" of the week was Watts and Ringold, whose coming out with "They Wouldn't Believe Me," was funny enough and kept them and the house busy as bees to the end. Miss Ringold has a style of her own, and it's some style, and she is a good all round artist, her singing being fair, her dancing wonderful and her jokes "a real scream." Watts's smoking stunt captivated the audience, as did his "Pay for the Lights to Go Out." Their team work was so fine as to keep the house in an uproar from start to finish. The show all through was good and the house was crowded every night. There will be a special matticee on Thursday, June 5th, on account of Industrial Holiday, occasioned by National Registration Day. Children's matinee every Thursday, as stated in the Journal, and Guide last week. The cost for next week will be exceptionally strong, consisting of Venable and Wilford, Pope and Dallas, Miss St. Chair, Daniels and Davis, and Houze and Houze. Amateurs Score Success. Amateur night at The Palace drew one of the largest audiences of the season, standing room only being available. The fact that it was Decoration Day may have had much to do with this. Many of those booked by the manager, for some reason, did not put in an appearance. After the usual performance, between the first and second shows, the amateurs were given their turn on the program. Attorney Land made a brief but eloquent appeal to the young people to accept the opportunity given them by the management of The Palace, and said many encouraging and complimentary words of colored entertainers. The first number was by Miss Marie Wood, one of the popular pupils of the Booker T. Washington High School, which was a reading from Dunbar's "When Malindy Sings," showing that Miss Wood has splendid talent and has had good training. The final number was the singing of "varmenice" by Miss Mabel Perry, one of Norfolk's most popular soloists. Long applause was given each of the ladies. HENDERSON (N. C.) NEWS By T. R.
