NO. 36 FINE RECORD OF NEGRO REGIMENT FINE RECORD OF NEGRO REGIMENT FIFTEENTH INFANTRY, NEW YORK NATIONAL GUARD WINS PRAISE OF ARMY OFFICERS Made Record In Camp At Peckskill For Excellence In Behavior, Drilling And Marksmanship—Splendid Regiment Now Ready For War Service. The New York Herald of June 17th, carried the following very interesting story of the Fifteenth Infantry, New York National Guard, the Empire State's recently organized Negro regiment. The story makes interesting reading in view of the prejudiced and skeptical attitude of Southern States toward Negro soldiers. The Herald said in part: "For the first time in the history of the organized militia of the State of New York a regiment of Negro soldiers marched this year with the Grand Army of the Republic and the National Guard in a Memorial Day parade held in New York city. Their splendid physical appearance and soldierly bearing, after less than two months of actual drilling, and fresh from two weeks of camp life at historic Peekskill on the Hudson, aroused the wonder and admiration of all the countless strong that lined the route of the long march up Riverside Drive. The almost deafening applause with which these carefree and thoroughly well pleased "volunteers" were greeted thundered in the ears and pierced the hearts of every Negro elevator operator in the big apartment houses along the Drive, many of whom were heard to declare instantly that he was 'for the army' and 'would jine' as soon as possible after his next pay day. "Both at Peekskill and at the armory of the Fifteenth here in New York city, at second avenue and 126th street, the 'boys' sang the praises of camp life and said much in praise of the treatment and teachings of their officers. Not a single complaint was uttered, while at Peekskill; the consensus of the town's officials, of the local residents and tradesmen was that seldom, if ever, in the history of the encampment has there been a better behaved, more modest and well conducted crowd of men in the neighborhood. The Fifteenth went to Peekskill to make a record, and it did so, not only for good behavior, but for excellence in drilling and the sort of shooting that will count for something tangible when the time comes. Every man in the regiment seemed to understand full well that 'the time' is at hand and that his time for learning how to shoot and to shoot 'dead straight' was short. "The Fifteenth New York Infantry was raised and is commanded by Colonel William Hayward, who when just a plain ordinary citizen is Commissioner Hayward of the Public Service Commission. While it was Colonel Hayward's original intention to obtain the full enlistment of the regiment in New York city, many men have come from other cities to enlist. Albany alone has sent a detachment of thirty-two and promises many more when the regiment is mustered into the federal service. Major Dayton's Opinion. "Following critical inspections by regular army officers, the Fifteenth New York Infantry was officially recognized by the War Department on April 9, 1917. In snaking recently of the personnel of the regiment and of its potentialities, Major Edwin W. Dawton, an expert writer on tactics and strategy, who has been in the National Guard more than thirty years said: "The enlisted men represent the very best class of our Negro citizens; the orderly, thrifty class of educated men who have seized the opportunity to prove afresh that there is no beaver or more reliable soldier than the North American Negro; that is, when he is properly trained and competently led by the right officers. "Colonel Hayward, recognizing the need to get the very finest soldier talent for officers, has brought his best efforts to the task of gathering field, staff, and line officers. The Colonel himself has had wide military experience in Western regiments during the Spanish-American War and wars. He would have brought to this particular task a rich experience of men or of organization. Governor Whitman was fortunate in having at his command a vignon of Colonel Hayward's office for this difficult task. Colonel Hayward was on the New York reserve list as a colonel by reason of his previous service in that grade. "The Lieutenant Colonel is Lorillard Spencer, who resigned his post as military secretary to the Governor to resume active military service in this new regiment. Two of the majors are Monson Morris, who was an officer in the Twelfth Infantry for nearly twenty years, and Woodell A. Pickering, one of the best known experts in the United States on ordinance and small arms practice. Major Pickering has had most distinguished service in the WANTED-An Intelligent, Christian lady between 35 and 40 years out of school between 1910 and 1920, look at small children. References require Address "S. J. B." Lock Box 112, North Emporia, Va. The Journal and Guide United States Marine Corps all over the world. "His particular task now is to teach the Fifteenth to 'shoot like the marines,' who have for years produced the winning teams at all the great rifle competitions. When Major Pickering was serving on the U. S. S. Maryland his battery stood first in the entire navy and the ship won the Battleship Trophy. Major Pickering has gone to Fort Sill, where the latest developments in the war in Europe are to be explained and the use of explosives in bombs, mines, etc., are to be demonstrated. No regiment in the whole country will be represented by an officer more competent to bring back to his command all that the school has to teach. The motto of this regiment was coined by the Colonel himself the first day in camp, when he said:—Damn dress parades—teach these boys how to shoot." PIANO SCHOOL RECITAL.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, JUNE 23, 1917 COLORED MAN SAVES LIFE OF DROWNING WOMAN Plunged Into Ten Feet Of Water Although He Could Not Swim Recommended for Carnegie Suffolk, Va.—Edward Copeland and Thomas Williams, colored, distinguished themselves for heroic action Monday morning, when they rushed to the rescue of Mrs. Fred Bullock and her three children (white) who were drowning in Smith's Creek, near here. Mrs. Bullock had gone to the rescue of her children who had fallen into the creek from a capsized canoe, in which they were playing. Hearing the cries of the drowning woman and her children, Mr. Copeland rushed to the creek and although he could not swim jumped in and pulled Mrs. Bullock out just as she was going down for the last time in ten feet of water, and also brought out of the water Mrs. Bullock's three-year-old son, who was too far gone to be saved however, although physicians worked over him for several hours. After getting Mrs. Bullock safely out of the water Copeland was joined by Tom Williams, another colored man, who assisted him in recovering the bodies of the two young Bullock girls. Raise Purse For Heroic Workers. Suffolk, June 18.—Impressed with the heroism of the two colored men, Edward Copeland and Tom Williams, especially the first, who though unable to swim, risked their lives this morning in the endeavor to save the lives of Mrs. Fred Bullock and her three children, and who after saving Mrs. Bullock remained in the waters of Smith Creek to locate and bring to shore the bodies of the two girls and their baby brother, some of the people of Suffolk quietly made up a purse of voluntary contribution, which will be given to these men.

Foley Kidney Pills and after taking one bottle I believe I am entirely cured and I sleep soundly all By RICHARD MARKLEY I belonged to a company of barn stormers, only we didn't travel on the road, but on the water. We were South Americans and were organized in Rio de Janeiro. Our manager proposed to skirt the eastern coast of South America from Rio down to the strait of Magellan, pass through them and, moving northward, take in the coast of Chile. The scheme was a very good one. We had plenty of room for what scenery and property stores we needed on the ship, and transportation was therefore simplified. We did not require much of either scenery or property because our list of plays was small. After giving our repertoire at a town we would pass on and repeat it at the next. Our most popular play was one called "Mephistopheles," in which Satan performed diverse stunts, more especially with fire, at last diving into the bottomless burning pit. Indeed, most of our plays were such as to attract the attention of a low grade people. Before we had finished our trip we were called upon to perform before an audience composed of the lowest people in the world, a people so low that they worship no deity and feed on each other. I refer to the Terre del Fuchsans. The strait of Magellan should be called the Devil's canal. The wind blows from every direction, and the shores are lined with savages, who will murder any luckless voyager who falls into their hands. One evening while passing through the strait we struck a dead calm and were obliged to tie up for want of a breeze to fill our sails. We had scarcely made fast to the trunk of a tree on the shore when down came a lot of savages. The rope was severed with an ax, and we drifted some twenty feet out into the center of a basin in which we had taken refuge against a change of weather. Our manager had neglected to bring arms with which to defend ourselves, and we were at the mercy of these cannibals. Realizing the superstition of the savages, it occurred to our manager that we might save ourselves by playing on their credulity. He told Murdock, the man who took the part of Satan in our play of "Morphistopheles," to get on his costume at once, and while he was doing so another member of the company got ready his diabolical properties. Meanwhile the twilight was deepening, and before the savages put out from the shore to attack us it was nearly dark. As they were shoving from the shore Murdock, dressed as Satan, went up to the highest part of the deck and, drawing a sword he wore by his side, began to shake it at the advancing enemy. They were somewhat startled at seeing a man in red and black tights, a short velvet cape and a conical hat shaking a sword at them, and they recoiled. But their leader gave his paddlers orders to pull forward, and the rest were about to follow when Murdock pressed his thumb on a button in the hilt of his sword, and it emitted fire. The circles, figure eights and other geometrical contrivances he described with the point of his sword were too much for the Fugans, and they all put back to the shore. One of them, more daring than the rest, led the way back to the ship, paddling his canoe himself. When he came within a few yards Murdock leaned over the gunwale and spit fire at him. This sent him back to the shore with the others. But we began to fear that the savages would gradually get used to these demonstrations. Familiarity breeds contempt, and contempt is incompatible with fear. Murdock felt this himself and proposed that he should drive the enemy away by more offensive methods. Roman candles were used in the play of Mephistopheles, and some of them were brought on deck. When the savages had mustered up their courage for another advance Murdock began to send fire balls at them. Again there was a retreat. But some of them were cool enough to discover that the fire balls did no harm, and this enabled them to regain their courage and impart it to the rest. So they began to rally once more. Murdock called for what was called his flaming club, which was filled with phosphorus, and, getting into a boat with a man to paddle it, he took position in the how and was carried, spitting fire toward the shore. Most of the savages climbed the bank, but those who lingered were beaten with Satan's flaming club, and since the contents poured out on them was burning phosphorus they found it a very different substance from that of the roman candles. Murdock went ashore himself and followed them for a considerable distance, when he returned to the ship. We remained on watch nearly all night, but the savages did not come back. About dawn a breeze sprang up and, hoisting sail, we passed slowly out of the basin into a portion of the strait so wide that we were in no danger. Murdock for the rest of our voyage was the hero of the party, especially the women, who had been in great terror. Indeed, Murdock saved our lives. Quite likely his defense was more effective than if we had had guns, for the savages are not unfamiliar with firearms, having seen them in the hands of those sailing through the strait.

The Supervisor of Colored Schools for North Carolina says that, owing to the smallness of the colored population of Davidson County, it has only 15 schools and 15 teachers. Salaries of teachers range from $25 to $35 per month; length of school term, five to six months. The school conditions in Rowan County are much better than in the majority of the counties. There are 34 schools and 39 teachers; length of school term, five to eight months; the salaries of the teachers range from $25 to $40 per month. Three new buildings were erected last year, and two or three more to be built this year. In fact, Superintendent Freezay says that the county school officials are willing to provide new school buildings for the colored children when their parents show a disposition to do something for themselves. This is a sight more than can be said in favor of some other county school officials. We wish to say, also, that the colored patrons, from what we could see and hear, are taking advantage of the county's offer, having been aroused and stimulated by talks on the subject by Professors Aggrey and Patterson of Livingstone College, who make frequent visits to the rural districts for this and other theological race advancement. "Through the persistent efforts and preachments of these two race leaders, it won't be many years before an old, dilhapidated school house for colored children will be a rare object in Rowan County.

The ‘scheme was a yery good one. We bod plenty of room for what scenery and Property stores We neciled on the ship, and transportation was therefore sim- piled. We did not require much of elther scenery or property beenuse our lst of plays was small. After giving our repertoire at a town we would pass on and repeat it at the next. Our most popular play was one call- ed “Mephistopheles,” in which Satan Performed diverse stunts;~more espe- cintiy with fire, at last diving Into the bottomless burning pit, Indeed, most of our plays were such as to attract tho attention of a low grade ‘people.

Realizing the superstition of the sav- ages, it occurred to our manager that ‘We might save ourselves by playing on their credulity. He told Murdock, the man who took the part of Satan in our Play of “Mephistopheles,” to get on his costume at once, and while he was do- ing so another member of the company got ready hls diabolical properties. Meanwhile the twilight was deepen- ing, and before the savages put out from the shore to attack us it was nearly dark. Ag they were shoving from the shore Murdock, dressed a8 Satan, went up to the highest part of the deck and, drawing a sword he wore by lis side, began to shake it at the advancing enemy. ‘They were somewhat startled at scefng a man in yed and black tights, a short velvet cape and a conical hat alnking a sword at them, and they recofled. But thelr leader gave his paddlers orders to pull forward, and the rest were about te follow when Murdock pressed his thomb on a button in the hilt of bis sword, and ft emitted fire. The circles figure elghts and other geometrical contrivances he described witb the point of his sword were too much for the Fnegans, and they all put back tc the shore. | One of ther, more daring than the y Test, led the way back to the ship, paddling bifs.canoe himself, When he came within a few yards Murdock leaned over the gunwate and spit Bre at him.

Probably there is no practical health problem surrounding the grow- ing youth that permits of a greater degree of importance than the one dealing with the influence of tobacco upon the constitutionality of the growing and developing boy. It is one which seem$ to present innumer- able difficulties in methods of curtail- ing and regulating its use. In adults, it is not possible at the present time to effect much of a chunge, whose re- sistence to the ill-cffects ‘of tobacco prevents certain evil manifestations, due to the maturity of the structures of the body, but in the youth much can be done toward reducing this, based. upon the proper early discipline and instructions from parents and guardians. ‘The habit in the young is very fasci- nating: and it docs not require much |coaxing to get new recruits.

Prospectively this would require a long residence, for the town was already 100 years old and for half of that period had been retreating. Besides, Mr. Crowell was already grown up However, Mr. Crowell complimented Harrisonville by settling in it, and the inhabitants felt kindly disposed toward him. It must be confessed that he added nothing to the beauty of the place, for his legs were very short, his body very long, his neck longer still in proportion, while his whole person was surmounted by a bullet head. Mr. Crowell attracted the attention of the young people by writing articles for one of the two newspapers of the town, to which he signed the name "The Magic Lantern." The attention attracted was one of derision, for the articles, though somewhat original, were indicative of the adage, "Fools step in where angels fear to tread." But Mr. Crowell was talked about, and that is what many persons crave. One morning Mr. Crowell met Miss Jennie Ackerman in a store. Jennie was a pretty girl, and Crowell's countenance beamed with admiration. Whether she was frightened at his ugleness or overmodest, she turned her back upon him. Harrisonville was not so large a place but that Crowell might often meet Miss Ackerman on the street, and when he did so there was always on his expressive countenance that same look of admiration. The young man made no secret of having been enthralled by Miss Ackerman's beauty. He sounded her praises not only orally, but wrote them up in thinly disguised articles for the Harrisonville Eagle over the pseudonym of "The Magic Lantern." One day Miss Ackerman met Mr. Crowell on the street. She passed him with her nose in the air. The town was not a large one, and she soon came to the outskirts. It occurred to her that she would visit a cousin of hers who lived a short distance up the road. There were two opinions as to why she decided on this visit at this time. Some said that it was to get rid of Crowell, whom she feared she would meet if she turned and went back into the heart of the town. Others declare that she went on for the special purpose of giving her admirer an opportunity to join her without being observed. Whichever of these two opinions is correct, one thing is certain—Crowell followed her, and when she reached a point where they were alone he stepped up beside her, doffed his hat and begged her to permit him to say a few words to her. She told him that he might say a few words, and only a few words, after which she would be obliged to him if he would leave her. He rephed that she had made him inexpressibly happy and when he had said the few words he would depart. He then proceeded to tell her that he had worshipped her silently—which took no account of his encomiums printed in the Eagle—that his whole being was bound up in her and that, repel him as she might, he would continuo his secret worship. What Miss Ackerman's reply was is not known, for she was more reticent than the garrulous Mr. Crowell, who repented every word he had said; to every one who would listen to him, but a small boy reported, that he frequently met Miss Ackerman going to or from her cousin's and she was usually accompanied by Mr. Crowell. Gradually her friends ceased to twit her about her misshaped adorate, and in time some of them began to wonder if she had not taken pity on him and was admonishing him to desist from sounding her praises, especially in the Eagle. Some thought that she had reminded him that it had been all very well for Dante to write poems about Beatrice or Petrarch to sound the praises of Laura, but it wouldn't do for Crowell to give vent to his feelings for his lady in the columns of a newspaper even though her name was not man-toned. Whatever was passing between the two, no one for a moment suspected that Mia Ackerman had any other object than to curb her garrulous lover and prevent his making himself and her rileiculous. She was known to be a tender hearted girl and it was taken for granted that she would not say anything to hurt the poor man's feelings, but would endeavor to show him by kindly words he was making a fool of himself. One day the citizens of Harrisonville were startled by a rumor that Mr. Crowell and Miss Ackerman were engaged. Miss Ackerman's intimate friends pronounced it a malicious stand upon the lady. Mr. Crowell denied it in a way that indicated plainly he was delighted even at the report. Then one day when Miss Ackerman's cousin was asked what was meant by coupling the former's name with that horribil Crowell she said that Jennie was really engaged to him. Within half an hour it was all over town that the pretty Miss Ackerman was going to marry that tiil head, bandy legged Crowell. However, we are prone to become accustomed to what is and cease to wonder, what it should be. Mr. and Mrs. Crowell how exalted no more comment than any other married couple.

FORREST Real Eatate AN OPEN LETTER To the Colored Teachers of North Carolina: Having been elected president of the State Teachers Association at the recent meeting held in Durham, N. C., an honor unsought but highly appreci- ated, I take this opportunity to extend grectings to the host of fellow teach- ers scattered throughout the State in whose interest this great organization is maintained, and who are ex-officio members thereof. I beg to say that the inducement that prompted me to accept the signal honor put upon me was the hope of rendering some as- sistance in the great struggle to im- prove the educational work in the State. I am deeply, sensible of the fact that 1 cannot hope to succeed | without your help—the help of all the jteachers in the State. I beg further to say that the constitution of the State Teachers Association was sc amended as to make all the teachers throughout the State members of the organization, and to solicit from each a fee of one dollar per annum to assist in promoting the objects of the asso- ciation. | Believing that you are personally in- {terested in the movement to improve and better the condition of our public school system, may I insist upon thos« who attend summer schools to meet together and discuss how to make the association more efficient and collect the one dollar fee and forward the same to the secretary of the Stat Teachers Association. Let me also direct your attention te our rural school extension work s ably conducted under the immediate supervision of Dr. A. M. Moore, Dur ham, N.C, We have not yet realize the marvelous possibilities of this im portant movement, else no one woul need urging to do his full duty in mak ing it go.

The music loving public had their desires filled by the splendid musi- cians, the Goodletts, at. the Palace this week. Their playing on the three in- struments carried by them was all that could be expected. Many selections ‘were .rendered but those numbers standing out gre-eminently were the never-dying “Swannee River” and the “Memphis Blues.” Both of these young folks are musicians of rare ability. They were just the ones to open, the bill, for every, selection ren- . dered was high class, The sylophone music was without a doubt beyond patalell. Hester Kenton, soubrette, followed and what she did was 0. k. to those who like such stuff. . Another good act was the wonder- ful physical culturist, the Great Mon- daaye. The movements of the muscles of, the body was remarkable. The hondling of weights with his hands and feet was really far above the aver- ‘age performance of that kind. He was loudly appinuded for every move- ment. The Great Mondaaye, like the first act, was classical and causes one to think. The acts show that the Ne- gro’ performers are as good as any that one will see on any stage. The Journal and Guide wishes to compli- ment the manager of the Palace for bookting these high class acts. Peat and World, a male team of singers and dancers introduced them- selves singing a fast song that ended in an argument of which World got the better of. “Their jokes were high class and full of juice. “I Ain’t as Foolish as I Look’ to Be” by World, was a real riot. During the prelude he did some whistling stunts that characterized him as some cortiedian, His dancing was as good. “On the Wabash” was sang by Peat, and for this excellent number he received en- cores. Their closing song and dance hit was “Cute Little Wiggle.” They were very good. 85S : As usual the best#srésérved for the last, for Clark and:Kinky‘was an uproar from start to Sigh Dake ‘were new and original. The res- faurant stuff was a sure enough scream as was Clark’s monoldgue or “Made ‘Wrong.” The singing anc dancing of the little lady was good this mimble footed dancer was 2 favorite ‘with the house. The: show this week was very good and was wel attended, Four persons were booked by the ‘manager, but for some Treason un- ‘known to him only one appeared when the time came. “Shine” is what'they called him, he was doing a’ barrel jumping stunt that with a bit ‘more Practice will make him a star.

Regiment A of infantry—it was de- cided to classify the women’s corps by the letters of the alphabet—renched the front during a retreat of the Germans that was supposed by*the allles to be | made with the intention of shortening thelr lines. A portion of the British army, including Regiment A, was fol- lowing the Germans, whose trenches had been made untenabie by the Brit- ish heavy artillery, and there occurred some of that open fighting which was rarely seen during tie war. ‘Tho women's regiment being raw re- crults it was not expected that they would show the bravery of veterans. ‘Thelr colonel, Mra Lillian Vavasour, anxious that her-treops should give a good account of themselves tn thelr first fight, had made provisions against any sudden pante that might seize upon them.
