Dear Editor: Please allow me space in your paper to speak of my trip to Wilmington and of my work in this section of the State. The Grand Convention of the Independent Order of J. R. Gidding and J. U. met in the above mentioned city June 12-15, 1917. This was my first visit to that Grand body, and while I had heard and read much about it, I found when I sat with them that "the half had not been told," for there is a great work being done by the Order in the State. The large, three-story brick temple now in course of construction, will be used as a home office when completed. It is a credit to the Order. The laying of the cornerstone by the Masons brought to Wilmington some of the foremost men of the race in the State, among whom were Dr. I. B. Mettary, Col. J. H. Young, Dr. W. Gee, Avant and others. The meetings of the session were helpful and enjoyable. On our return we set up a Tent at Ahoskite, N.C.宴会; his place is being set on nicely. Mr. Lloyd Lofton, Supt. for the Order in the State, certainly deserves great credit for the work she has done and is doing. The Masonic Lodge, Mecherrin No. 308, the Sunday-school the Eastern Surf Court, Lydia No. 300, Living Hope Tent No. 184, and the Juvenile Band, together with a number of individuals, gave contributions to the Red Cross Fund. We are also working to raise a substantial donation for the S. S. Convention which meets at Ahoskite, N.C., July 26, 1917. Elizabeth City, N. C.—Jos.

NO. 37 LABOR SHORTAGE GROWS WORSE NOT MEN ENOUGH AVAILABLE TO LOAD TRUCK CROPS FOR THE NORTHERN MARKETS Work Of Harvesting Spring Crops Halted—Steamers Sail Twenty-four Hours Late—Men Have Deserted Docks For More Remunerative Work Elsewhere. The labor shortage in Norfolk for the past two weeks has reached the critical stage. This is the season during which the enormous truck crops of the Tidewater section are harvested and shipped to the northern markets, and on account of an insufficient number of men to load the produce on outgoing steamers hundreds of small boat and wagon loads of it have been congested around the Norfolk docks for days, much of it being perishable mat- Following an appeal by colored ministers and other colored citizens last Saturday and Sunday about fifty additional colored men applied at the docks Monday morning for work. This number was slightly augmented during the week, but as practically six hundred men are needed the situation has grown worse instead of better. In response to a request from Mr. H. B. Goodridge, chairman of the Norfolk Committee on Food Conservation, the following colored men formed themselves into a committee Saturday and undertook to secure extra men by making appeals through the churches: P. B. Young, C. C. Dogan, N. D. King, R. K. D. Garrett, R. H. Bowling, Wm Rich, S. S. Morris, J. T. P. Cross. This committee also issued the following circular, which was distributed throughout the city: patriotic Appeal To Colored Men. "Save the Waste and Win the War." Thousands of dollars worth of foodstuffs are spoiling on the wharves of Norfolk because of the lack of men to load it aboard ships. This waste entails a serious loss upon the farmers of this section, white and colored, and increases the price of foodstuffs. Volunteers are wanted now! To load the ships and save the foodstuffs to the Nation. "Do Your Bit." You cannot render a more patriotic service. Let us not relax in our loyalty, but respond to this urgent appeal. Report to Old Dominion and Bay Line docks. If this cargo is wasted it will result in serious financial depression here. On Monday this committee had a conference with Mr. E. E. Palen, assistant general manager of the Old Dominion Steamship Co., and tendered their co-operation in any practicable plan to relieve the situation. The question of wages was discussed as well as other means for securing the number of men necessary to handle the work on the Norfolk docks and the committee offered Mr. Palen some suggestions which he promised to take under advisement. Wages Paid Here Are Too Low. Many of the men who have worked on the Norfolk docks for years have abandoned this work for more remunerative employment in other parts of the country. While the cost of living has advanced the wages of the dock hands have not been advanced in proportion. When a man has to push a truck for an hour and a half in order to earn enough to purchase a pound of fat back salt port there is not much incentive to push a truck. Then the scale of wages prevailing on the docks of Norfolk and New York is different, the same transportation companies paying a higher scale in New York than in Norfolk for the same class of work. There is little probability of any improvement in the situation, in spite of all the measures suggested, until there is a readjustment of wages here. Some Remedies Suggested. During the past week government agents have been investigating the situation here and have made the following suggestions as ways of remedying the conditions: First—Pay dock laborers as much as they could make at other work requiring similar qualifications. Second—Compulsory labor; made possible by Federal legislation or by drafting the men under the conscription act and then detailing them as soldiers to work on the docks. Those who refused would be treated as deserters. Third—Securing special permission from the Army and Navy departments to utilize enlisted men here as long-showmen. Dock laborers are receiving 20 and 25 cents an hour—the higher figure being paid for "storing" to men who place the packages in the cars or ships; the lower to truckmen.

JUNE 30, 1917 NORFOLK DISTRICT LEADS IN SOUTHERN AID CONTEST Superintendent E. C. Hammie And Staff Successful In State Wide Competition. The Norfolk district of the Southern Aid Society located in this city, and of which Mr. E. C. Hammie is superintendent, led the State in a recent race for new applicants with Mr. R. F. Etheridge as the successful contestant. Mr. Etheridge made an excellent showing in the contest, and his record stands peer if not above that of any colored insurance agent doing business here. Next to Mr. Etheridge, in writing new business, stood Mr. J. Harvey L. Baxter. Mr. R. H. Spellman also did complimentary work in the contest. For his extraordinary service Mr. Etheridge is the recipient of $12.50 from the home office at Richmond, and also wears a gold medal as a trophy. Messrs. Baxter and Spellman received minor prizes from the superintendent of the local district, of which they are indeed delighted to treasure among their possessions. The presentation took place at the agents' meeting last Friday after the regular business of the organization had been finished. Mr. E. C. Hammie, superintendent, awarded the prizes. Those present aside from the superintendent, clerk and agents' force were: Messrs. Williams and Kelley of Richmond, both of whom are inspectors of the company. The representatives of Home Office were permitted to speak, and they took the opportunity and added things complimentary of the superintendent, Mr. E. C. Hammie, his clerk and large and efficient agent force. They also expressed themselves as being wonderfully struck by the unequalled record that the Norfolk district had made through Mr. E. C. Hammie and his co-workers here. Messrs. C. J. Williams and J. H. Hamlin responded in brief and timely addresses to the remarks made by Messrs. Williams and Kelley. COMO. N. C. (By A. M. Vann. ) Cono.

C.—Last week was devoted to the welfare of all babies throughout Edgecombe County. Although this be the first attempt to undertake such a work, greater interest and more enthusiasm were nere expressed by the mothers and parents. Everything was done to cut out all babies in Baby Show. It was Baby's Welfare. All babies between the ages of six months and two years were given a thorough examination. Dr. A. S. McMillian, J. E. Cain and Jno. A. Fountain, assisted by two efficient trained nurses, Mrs. J. W. Bryan and Miss Harriet Lyons, attended to the examinations. The greatest help to the mothers was the exhibits. The Masonic Hall was filled with proper things for the occasion. Mrs. W. A. Pattillo had charge of the table labeled: "Things Good and Bad for Babies." And after seeing these articles many mothers express their guilt of doing the wrong thing for their young ones. Miss Mattie Garet had charge of the clothing, showing the simple and necessary clothes for summer and winter. Miss Geneva Williams neatly arranged the articles and basket for the child's bath. Mrs. C. B. Bain had the sleeping department, showing a home-made screened bed for out-doors and summer sleeping, and another crib made for winter sleeping. Miss M. G. Perry collected and exhibited a useful and simple table of home-made and inexpensive toys. Miss Mamie Clarke had the child's diet. Sample meals were exhibited for children and small families. She also showed things that were harmful for children. Two baskets filled with market produce were labeled, one Mrs. Don't Care, the other Mrs. Do Care. Mr. W. A. Pattillo had charge of the sanitary exhibits, which included a fire-proof sanitary closet box, fly traps, a box of manure, showing the breeding place of flies; water from open ditches showing breeding place of mosquitoes. In this corner were placards of death rates and eugenics. A cemetery showing the number of graves that are made in Edgecombe County each month was exhibited. A most valuable exhibit of cards was borrowed from the State Department, this was supplemented by local exhibits. Not a cent was asked for to carry on this work. The white merchants of the city most kindly gave and loaned the materials. The County Health Officer, Dr. K. E. Miller, rendered all help possible. He assisted with the examinations, gave lectures and lantern slide talks. Miss Esther V. Bryan, manager of the Welfare Campaign, assisted by the above named ladies, deserve credit for this noble step in starting such work among our race. Let other counties follow. DANVILLE.

PRICE: FIVE CENTS CO-OPERATION OF TWO RACES WHITE AND COLORED DISCUSS PLANS FOR ADVANCING INTERESTS OF BOTH RACES Informal Conference At Pittsburgh Meeting Of National Conference Of Charities And Corrections-What Is Being Done In The South. Hampton, Va.—What social service really needs to be rendered? How can we best do our common work? How can we learn of one another? How can we gain better racial co-operation? These questions were recently discussed frankly and sympathetically, when some 20 white southern secretaries of charities and correction (or social workers) met a group of representative solored social workers, in an informal conference on racial co-operation, during the Pittsburgh meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Correction. V. S. Woodward of Charlotte, N. C., presided at the conference. Among those who spoke were Richard F. Hudson of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Joseph C. Logan of Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Margaret Laing of Columbia, S. C.; Prof. George W. Cook and Prof. Kelly Miller, both of Howard University, Washington, D. C.; William N. Jones of Memphis, Tenn.; Prof. George E. Haynes of Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.; Mrs. Mary C. McCreory of Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C.; Miss Helen P. Pendleton of Newark, N. J., and Samuel P. Morsell of Pittsburgh. Professor Haynes declared white people have had to learn that Negroes who have self-respect and enthusiasm can do excellent work and achieve worth while results, and that white people cannot safely and wisely pick Negro leaders for the Negro race. He related in detail how racial co-operation was brought about in Nashville during an emergency. Mr. Hudson said that in Chattanooga the charity organization society work is carried on irrespective of the color line. Whenever there are people in need, there the social workers go to administer the wisest forms of relief. A colored woman works among the colored people. The Chattanooga relief department for Negroes is financed by the general charity budget and other activities are financed by the colored people and the departments using the services of the colored visitor, who is really a community visitor doing a variety of tasks. Mr. Logan reported that white social service visitors do not tend toward giving colored people self-development. In Atlanta, for example, the whites have done work "for" Negroes, while white charity organizations society workers have worked "with" whites. Atlanta has correlated the ideals of co-operation with the ideals of the community. Miss Laing, who was directly responsible for the conference, stated that the service work for colored people in Columbin, S. C., originated through the efforts of a white university student who had received his inspiration from Prof. Josiah Morse, a firm believer in the Negro's self-reliance, whose service on the university commission on the southern race question is widely known and respected. Miss Laing has found that colored workers take more interest in social cases than can white workers. There are cases, however, which can apparently be well handled by white social workers. Dean Cook, an experienced worker, declared that the idea of race co-operation must prevail. "White and colored people can work together on social service boards. Throughout the South, including the city of Washington, mixed boards have been and are doing fine social uplift work. Christian charity demands that more should be done for Negroes, whose wage scale is low compared with that of whites doing similar work." Secretary Jones described the workings of the Memphis Board of Charities in which white and colored members meet jointly to outline policy and for which one executive secretary directs all the social work. The colored group in Memphis is selected by uplift units and the leading churches. It faces the truth of situations and sees that the vital interests of one class is the interest of all classes. B. Y. P. U. And State Sunday School Convention. The B. Y. P. U. and State Sunday School Convention will convene in Lynchburg to take part in the great jubilee and 50th anniversary celebration July 10th-17th. All B. Y. P.

Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxes at the Outset of War Are Disadvantageous—Great Britain Example Worthy of Emulation—How the Taxes Should Be Apportioned. By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN, McVickar Professor of Political Economy, Columbia University. On May 23, 1917, the House of Representatives passed an act "to provide revenue to defray war expenses and for other purposes." In the original bill as presented by the Committee of Ways and Means, the additional revenue to be derived was estimated at $1,810,420,000. The amendment to the income tax, which was tacked on to the bill during the discussion in the House, was expected to yield another $40,000,000 or $10,000,000. In discussing the House bill, two problems arise: 1. How much should be raised by taxation? 2. In what manner should this sum be raised? 1. How Much Should Be Raised by Taxation? How was the figure of $1,800,000,000 arrived at? The answer is simple. When the Secretary of the Treasury came to estimate the additional war expenses for the year 1917-18, he calculated that they would amount to some $6,000,-000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was to be allotted to the allies, and $3,000,-000,000 was to be utilized for the domestic purposes. Thinking that it would be a fair proposition to divide this latter sum between loans and taxes, he concluded that the amount to be raised by taxes was $1,800,000,-000. There are two extreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant courtesy. The one is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by loans, and the other is that all war expenditures should be defrayed by taxes. Each theory is untenable. It is indeed true that the burdens of the war should be borne by the present rather than the future generation; but this does not mean that they should be borne by this year's taxation. Meeting all war expenses by taxation makes the taxpayers in one or two years bear the burden of benefits that ought to be distributed at least over a decade within the same generation. In the second place, when expenditures approach the gigantic sums of present-day warfare, the tax-only policy would require more than the total surplus of social income. Were this absolutely necessary, the ensuing havoc in the economic life of the community would have to be endured. But where the disasters are so great and at the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may be declared impracticable. Secretary McAdoo had the right instinct and highly commendable courage in deciding that a substantial portion, at least of the revenues should be derived from taxation. But when he hit upon the plan of 60-50 per cent, that is, of raising one-half of all domestic war expenditures by taxes, the question arises whether he did not go too far. The relative proportion of loans to taxes is after all a purely business proposition. Not to rely to a large extent on loans at the outset of a war is a mistake. Disadvantages of Excessive Taxes The disadvantages of excessive taxes at the outset of the war are as follows: 1. Excessive taxes on consumption will cause popular resentment. 2. Excessive taxes on industry will disarrange business, damp enthusiasm and restrict the spirit of enterprise at the very time when the opposite is needed. 3. Excessive taxes on incomes will deplete the surplus available for investments and interfere with the placing of the enormous loans which will be necessary in any event. 4. Excessive taxes on wealth will cause a serious diminution of the incomes which are at present largely drawn upon for the support of educational and philanthropic enterprises. Moreover, these sources of support would be dried up precisely at the time when the need would be greatest. 5. Excessive taxation at the outset of the war will reduce the elasticity available for the increasing demands that are soon to come. Take Great Britain as an example. During the first year of the war she increased taxes only slightly, in order to keep industries going at top notch. During the second year she raised by new taxes only 9 per cent. of her war expenditures. During the third year she levied by additional taxes (over and above the pre-war level) only slightly more than 17 per cent. of her war expenses. If we should attempt to do as much in the first year of the war as Great Britain did in the third year it would suffice to raise by taxation $1,250,000,000. If, in order to be absolutely on the safe side, it seemed advisable to increase the sum to $1,500,000,000, this should, in our opinion, be the maximum. In considering the apportionment of the extraordinary burden of taxes in war times certain scientific principles are definitely established: How Taxes Should Be Apportioned. (1) The burden of taxes must be spread as far as possible over the whole community so as to cause each individual to share in the sacrifices according to his ability to pay and according to his share in the Government. (2) Taxes on consumption, which are necessarily borne by the community at large, should be imposed as far as possible on articles of quasi-luxury rather than on those of necessity. (3) Excises should be imposed as far as possible upon commodities in the hands of the final consumer rather than upon the articles which serve primarily, as raw material for further production. (4) Taxes upon business should be imposed as far as possible upon net earnings rather than upon gross receipts or capital invested. (5) Taxes upon income which will necessarily be severe should be both differentiated and graduated. That is, there should be a distinction between earned and unearned incomes and there should be a higher rate upon the larger incomes. It is essential, however, not to make the income rate so excessive as to lead to evasion, administrative difficulties, or to the more fundamental objections which have been urged above. (6) The excess profits which are due to the war constitute the most obvious and reasonable source of revenue during war times. But the principle upon which these war-profit taxes are laid must be equitable in theory and easily calculable in practice. The Proposed Income Tax. The additional income tax as passed by the House runs up to a rate of 00 per cent. This is a sum unheard of in the history of civilized society. It must be remembered that it was only after the first year of the war that Great Britain increased her income tax to the maximum of 34 per cent, and that even now in the fourth year of the war the income tax does not exceed 42½ per cent. It could easily be shown that a tax with rates on moderate incomes substantially less than in Great Britain, and on the larger incomes about as high, would yield only slightly less than the $532,000,000 originally estimated in the House bill. It is to be hoped that the Senate will reduce the total rate on the highest incomes to 34 per cent, or at most to 40 per cent, and that at the same time it will reduce the rate on the smaller incomes derived from personal or professional earnings. If the war continues we shall have to depend more and more upon the income tax. By imposing excessive rates new we are not only endangering the future, but are inviting all manner of difficulties which even Great Britain has been able to escape. Conclusion. The House bill contains other fundamental defects which may be summed up as follows: (1) It pursues an erroneous principle in imposing retroactive taxes. (2) It selects an unjust and unworkable criterion for the excess-profits tax. (3) It proceeds to an unheard-of height in the income tax. (4) It imposes unwarranted burdens upon the consumption of the community. (5) It is calculated to throw business into confusion by levying taxes on gross receipts instead of upon commodities. (6) It falls to make a proper use of stamp taxes. (7) It follows an unscientific system in its flat rate on imports. (8) It includes a multiplicity of petty and unlicrative taxes, the vexatiousness of which is out of all proportion to the revenue they produce. The fundamental lines on which the House bill should be modified are summed up herewith: (1) The amount of new taxation should be limited to $1,250,000,000—or at the outset to $1,500,000,000. To do more than this would be as unwise as it is unnecessary. To do even this would be to do more than has ever been done by any civilized Government in time of stress. (2) The excess-profits tax based upon a sound system ought to yield about $500,000,000. (3) The income-tax schedule ought to be revised with a lowering of the rates on earned incomes below $10,000, and with an analogous lowering of the rates on the higher incomes, so as not to exceed 34 per cent. A careful calculation shows that an income tax of this kind would yield some $450,000,000 additional. (4) The tax on whisky and tobacco ought to remain approximately as it is, with a yield of about $230,000,000. These three taxes, together with the stamp tax at even the low rate of the House bill, and with an improved automobile tax, will yield over $1,250,000,000, which is the amount of money thought desirable. The above program would be in harmony with an approved scientific system. It will do away with almost all of the complaints that are being urged against the present. It will refrain from taxing the consumption of the poor. It will throw a far heavier burden upon the rich, but will not go to the extremes of confiscation. It will obviate interference with business and will keep unimpaired the social productivity of the community. It will establish a just balance between loans and taxes and will not succeed) to the danger of approaching either the tax-only policy or the loan-only policy. Above all, it will keep an undisturbed elastic margin, which must be more and more heavily drawn upon as the war proceeds.

Yeardley stood at his window looking at the lightning, which was followed in some instances by almost instantaneous thunder. He was a fearless fellow, and no matter how near the bolts, he kept his place, admiring the battle of the elements. Clara was below in the drawing room with Hammersley. She was engaged to Yardley, but was in love with Hammersley. Yardley possessed a fortune, and Hammersley was poor. The wedding between Yardley and Clara was to come off that day week. Clara had insisted that he make a will in her favor before the wedding. Settlements are not common in America, but Clara argued that her fiance had a lot of relatives who in case of his death would make trouble. Without a will she would receive only a widow's third, and that would not content her. Yeardley had a cousin, Lucia, who had been left an orphan, and he had since then provided for her. When he made his will he left a small income to Lucia. But Clara objected to this, preferring that a clause be put in instead stating that the testator expected his widow to support Lucia out of the income of the estate "in every comfort." The bride to be convinced her expectant husband that this would be the better way, and since she promised him to obey the injunction faithfully in case he died before her, he yielded the point. During the storm Clara, who had a nervous dread of lightning, was so agitated that Hammersley put an arm around her to soothe her. While they were in this relative position there came a blinding flash, and amid the roar of the thunder they heard something fall in the room above. Hammersley went quickly upstairs, followed by Clara. Yeardale was lying by the window motionless. Help was summoned, and he was laid on the bed. The doctor came and pronounced him dead. The room was closed and the body left alone. The thunder was muttering in the distance when the door of the death chamber opened and Hammersley and Clara entered. Approaching the bed, they looked down on the marble face. Then they went to the window and stood looking out, talking in a low tone. Hammersley drew Clara to him, and her cheek rubbed against his. After a few minutes they went out, closing the door softly behind them. Hammersley and Clara went back to where they had been standing when the storm broke. Clara tried to look like a girl who had just lost her fiance, but failed. Hammersley did not even try to look mournful. Indeed, a smile hovered about his lips. Clara would now be his. Later Lucia entered the room and approaching the bed, sank on her knees, buried her face in her hands and sobbed. Then she arose and looked down through her tear dimmed eyes upon her cousin. In another moment she passed out, sobbing convulsively. Two hours after Yearley had been stricken an electric bell rang out sharply. The register indicated that it had been rung from his room. What could it mean? If any one was there who wanted anything, surely he would not have rung the bell. The butler was sent up, and presently returned with his eyes wide open. "Mr. Yeardle isn't dead!" he exclaimed. "What do you mean?" cried Clara. "He's slittin' up in bed." All hastened up the staircase, and be fore entering the room saw, through the open door, Yeardley in a sitting posture. "What's been the matter with me?" he asked, in a dazed fashion. "I feel as if I had been keelhauled." Clara ran out of the room. Hammerlesy followed her. Lucia came in and, seeing her cousin alive whom she thought dead, selaved his band and kissed it. Electricity is a curious antagonist. Sometimes it kills outright, sometimes it will strip a coat off a man's back with but trifling injury to him, and sometimes it will throw him into a coma for hours. Yeardley's bodily faculties had been temporarily paralyzed. Chara returned to the room where her betrothed lay and expressed her joy that he had returned to life. But it is difficult to express joy when one feels regret. She explained that she had been so suddenly cast down and relieved that she could not control her feelings. Nobody ever knew whether Yeardley had been struck by the bolt or stunned by its proximity. The question now uppermost in his fiancée's mind was whether he had retained consciousness. But she dreaded to ask him, and he refrained from speaking of the matter. The next day Yeardley was all right again. He sent for his fiancée and told her that he had decided not to make a will before his marriage. He had made a vow to leave his property to found an institution for the study of electricity and methods to protect human life from its bolts. Clara saw the handwriting on the wall. He had retained sufficient consciousness to be aware of her actions in his presence when she thought him dead. She made no objection to his plan for the disposition of his property, but told him she had discovered after all that she did not love him well enough to marry him. Yeardley was married on the appointed day, not to his Cousin Lucia. FREE STYLE BOOK HAIR To Colored Women We are the largest market for all Colored Women's Hair.

A week ago a steamer load of Boy Scouts left Norfolk to work in the potato fields of the Eastern Shore. There were seven hundred of them and they came from all parts of Virginia. Their departure was marked by a send-off that was spectacular as well as grandiose. The boys were going to save a crop of 4,000,000 barrels of spuds which were in danger of rotting in the fields because the Negroes had deserted the potato grabbing industry for more remunerative employment. It was a patriotic duty with the Boy Scouts of Virginia. To h——l with the Negroes! Haven't we got the Boy Scouts? We should worry. But the plot had a sudden and unexpected termination. In a few days the boys were returning in groups of from twenty to fifty. Now they have all returned and the potato crop is still in danger. Camp life on the Shore was hard. The cooking didn't come from a delicatessen shop. The sun was hot and the hours long and the boys could not earn enough at 15¢ a barrel to cover their expenses. Besides the boys didn't like the treatment they got at all. The potato farmers treated them like regular potato grabbers, rather than like potato patriots, so the Boy Scouts decided to forego their patriotic proclivities and return home, exploding another chimerical scheme for solving the labor question. The cold truth is, we cannot raise potatoes in Virginia without Negroes any more than we can raise cotton in Georgia without Negroes. MAGISTRATE PITT'S OPINION. Acting Police Justice J. O. Pitt paused a list of a trial of some liquor cases last Monday to express an opinion on the location of labor, or rather the causes of it, a path which economists, publicists, statesmen government experts have been wrestling with two weeks. Addressing counsel for shorters Magistrate Pitt said: "It seems to me that you ship people are responsible for the present labor situation. I'd exercise the proper caution against a motor get on board the ships you'd find the child work better. A nigger will get deck docks and get a pint of liquor and sell a tuple of dollars; then he'll lay around the money and won't work." The inegleance as well as ineptitude of the state's language disqualifies it as being substantive of the local judiciary, yet it is similar to the local calibre and type of man too often given authority to preside over criminal courts. Magistrates like Magistrate one very significant reason for the location of labor in the South today. One such an illogic coming from a court official feeling of shame mingled with disgust. Acting Police Justice J. O. Pitt paused in the midst of a trial of some liquor cases last Monday morning to express an opinion on the local scarcity of labor, or rather the causes of it, a problem with which economists, publicists, statesmen and government experts have been wrestling for the past two weeks. Addressing counsel for the liquorterians Magistrate Pitt said: "It seems to me that you ship people are largely responsible for the present labor situation. If you'd exercise the proper caution against letting liquor get on board the ships you'd find the niggers would work better. A nigger will get down on the docks and get a pint of liquor and sell it for a couple of dollars; then he'll lay around on the money and won't work." The inelegance as well as ineptitude of the magistrate's language disqualifies it as being representative of the local judiciary, yet it is singularly characteristic of the calibre and type of men who are too often given authority to preside over our lower criminal courts. Magistrates like Mr. Pitt constitute one very significant reason for the scarcity of labor in the South today. One reads such an illogic coming from a court official with a feeling of shame mingled with disgust. DR. POE'S CONTRIBUTION. Somehow we cannot refrain from play great deal of the responsibility for the poor shortage in the South upon Mr. C. C. Moore, editor of The Progressive Farmer. For ours, in order to advance his "rural land conversion" program, Mr. Poe printed in his which has a circulation in the South of States, every conceivable sort of argument that the Negro in the South was a socially, industrially, politically and otherwise result dormant racial hatred was aroused in the rural South until it culled the lynching of Anthony Crawford at the, S.

While Mr. P. driving the wind the South applauded, not, apparently, that harvest time was come Somehow we cannot refrain from placing a great deal of the responsibility for the present labor shortage in the South upon Mr. Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer. For three years, in order to advance his "rural land segregation" program, Mr. Poe printed in his paper, which has a circulation in the South of 300,000 copies, every conceivable sort of argument to show that the Negro in the South was a menace socially, industrially, politically and otherwise. As a result dormant racial hatred was aroused and cultivated in the rural South until it culminated in the lynching of Anthony Crawford at Abbeville, S. C., "not because he was a law-breaker, not that he had been guilty of a henious crime, but that he had become a rich Negro and was an enviously prosperous figure in the community." Then, "the Negro recognized his insecurity and began to move like sheep to any land that even promised better conditions." While Mr. Poe was sowing the wind the South applauded, not thinking, apparently, that harvest time was coming.

In times of great trial and stress the National feeling is best guaged by the disposition to respond to the demand of the moment. It little matters what the demand is, or whether it is great or small, because, as a matter of fact, the great affairs of life, whether of individuals or Nations, is usually determined by the smallest, least considered of the many incidentals that make for the unit of the totality. It is easy, then, to conclude by the subscriptions to the Liberty Loan, which, it is estimated, has been oversubscribed by some $900,000,000, that the people of the United States are in the war against Germany heart and soul. They have snapped up the two billion dollar loan and more than done so by quite a billion dollars. That is a patriotic and gratifying evidence of the National earnestness in the war against Germany and its allies. Secretary McAdoo announces that the loan will stand at the original figure, in spite of the over-subscription. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE TAXATION OF NEGROES IN VIRGINIA. GERMANY'S NEWER GERMANY'S NEWEST ENEMY. "No one who knows anything of that strange West-African State, the Republic of Liberia, is surprised by the news that she has broken with Germany. This was certain from the moment that America intervened. The associations between the United States and Liberia have always been intimate. Liberia was founded as a State by colored American citizens as part of a 'back to Africa' policy. The Government is in the hands of colored men of American origin, and the country looks upon America as the guardian Power. When, some years ago, Liberia got into money difficulties, the greater part of the loan advanced by Great Britain, France, and America came from the parent country, and latterly the receivers put in to watch the interests of the bondholders have been Americans. The Phelps-Stokes Fellowship for the study of the Negro was founded at the University of Virginia in 1912. "It is the duty of the holder of the Fellowship to stimulate and conduct investigation and to encourage and guide a wider general interest among students concerning the character, conditions and possibilities of the Negroes in the Southern States." The Journal and Guide has received the most recent publication of the department, "The Taxation of Negroes in Virginia," the work of Mr. T. R. Snavely, holder of the Fellowship during 1915-16. The essay contains four chapters, "The Capitation Tax;" "The Real Estate Tax;" "Personal Property and Income Taxes," dealing with the facts and a final chapter giving the investigator's conclusions. "The break with the Negro Republic will be a serious blow to Germany, German interests were large and rapidly increasing before the war. The palm-oil resources of Liberia are very rich, and Germany was casting a covetous eye upon them. Germany, like many other countries, drew from Liberia the supply of colored boys for working her ships up and down the African coast. Probably the most useful service which the Liberian Government could render the Allies would be to allow them to recruit freely her splendid labor forces, either for work behind the lines in France or for the crews of British ships."—Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. A review of Mr. Snavely's findings in the study of a subject about which there has been a great deal of speculation and much miscalculation in matters involving the State's relationship to the Negro, will no doubt prove interesting. Virginia introduced the poll-tax as a means of raising revenue in 1623. The annual levy consisted of "10 pounds of tobacco" and was exacted of every male head above sixteen years of age, slaves, of course, exempted, but free Negroes included. From 1668 to 1769 a poll tax was levied upon free Negro women, white women being exempted, the general assembly being of the opinion that "Negro women, though permitted to enjoy their freedom yet ought not in all respects to be admitted in full fruition of the exemptions and impurities of the English." This discrimination was abolished, however, in 1769, for the reasons (1) that it had been found "very burdensome," and (2) that it was "derogatory of the rights of free-born subjects." Despite the fact that there was an act in force restricting the liberating of slaves there were approximately 12,000 in the State subject to the poll tax. More discrimination in the levying of poll taxes occurred in 1812, when by special legislative enactment a capitation tax of $1.50 was imposed upon Negroes only. Not to raise revenue, but because the free-born Negroes were increasing in numbers so rapidly it was thought a discriminatory tax would drive them from the State or force them to become apprentices, which amounted practically to chattel slavery. In 1815 this tax was raised to $2.50. In this year 5,447 free Negroes paid into the State treasury $10,057.50, while the white population was not assessed at all. In 1816 the poll-tax on free Negroes was again abolished and was not restored until 1850 when free Negroes between the ages of 21 and 45 years were taxed $1.00 per head, the revenue thus raised being used for the purpose of colonizing free Negroes in Liberia, Africa. This special and discriminatory tax on free Negroes was levied for ten years. In 1852 whites between the ages of 21 and 45 years were assessed a head tax approximating 36¢. In 1880 the free Negroes were subjected to a double capitation tax. A new tax of 80¢ was assessed against all males, white and black, and as the act of 1850 levying $1.00 on Negroes was still in force the State auditor proceeded to collect both. $13,062.22 was collected from free Negroes in 1860. STATE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT MENTS JUNE RULLETIN Commissioner Kölner is mailing out his June bulletin to the farmers whose names are on the Department's mailing list. This bulletin is very timely because it contains valuable information in regard to the growing crops for this month. The most dangerous pest to the potato crop (which is the largest in the history of the State this year) is "blight." The June bulletin tells the farmer in plain language how to destroy this blight and also insects. Many farmers may save hundreds of dollars from loss of this nature if they know the remedies. The bulletin contains important information on the cultivation of the corn crop, which is in per cent larger than ever before in this state. It serves as articles on the Soy Benn—Its Value and a Feed and Food; Buckwheat, Sorghum, Home Use, and a large number of analyses of fertilizer and agricultural seeds. All farmers may receive this bulletin free of cost each month, and also the Year Book containing nearly 200 pages of interesting agricultural information, by sending in their names for the mailing list. AN APPRECIATION Portsmouth, Va., June 25th, 1917 Editor Journal and Guide, Dear Sir: Permit me to heartily endorse the sentiments recently expressed by you on the "Migration Question." Perhaps you do not realize that you are among the most important world, especially this particular section of it—safe for democracy," than hundreds of soldiers in the trenches. After the civil war uniform assessments for whites and blacks began. In 1876 a constitutional amendment imposing a capitation tax as a requirement for voting was adopted. This act was repealed in 1882, it having a tendency to corrupt elections. In 1896 the poll tax was made a levy on real estate. It was not enforced, however, as the cost of collecting the tax amounted to more than the tax itself. Referring to your recent letters in the Ledger-Dispatch and Virginian-Pilot, and your strong, forceful editorials in last week's issue of The Journal and Guide, on the above and kiked pages, I left an impression that will serve to the souls of all men that love freedom, justice and a square deal. Before the war the object in imposing a capitation tax upon Negroes was to "minimize the number who might be given freedom and to control those who were freed." After the war it was retained as a means of raising money for public free schools, etc. In 1900 the capitation tax was applied wholly to the public school fund. Since then "the division of Negro population in which most of the largest cities are included has the greatest percentage of delinquency, and the divisions having the highest percentages of Negro population have the lowest percentages of delinquency." Like the prophets of old, you are sounding the trumpet and sparing not; you are writing the things that you see, hear and feel. You have strong convictions on the vital questions that affect the progress of the Negro race and the courage to express them. You are one of the stunest champions of the race in the entire country and besides a mere expression of gratitude and appreciation, should have the mental financial support of every loyal Negro. Long live the Journal and Guide and may its editor keep up the good work that we may be stimulated to be, to dare, to have and to do. In 1901-02 the constitutional convention which framed the new State constitution disfranchising Negroes was held. Following the adoption of the new constitution the poll tax was made a requirement for registration. It has since that time been a political rather than a fiscal matter, and as the percentage of delinquency among Negroes has more than doubled it may be readily seen what an enormous loss the educational funds of the State have sustained. The loss, however, has been felt wholly by the Negroes in smaller appropriations for their public schools. very truly yours, J. S. JONES, Cashier, Mutual Savings Bank THREE COLORED GIRLS GET DEGREES AT RADCLIFFE Radcliffe confers the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon three Colored girls this year: the Misses Eva Beatrice Dykes of Washington, D. C., Frances Olivia Grant or Cambridge, and Nadine Fortune Wright of Cambridge. Miss Wright received her A. Masseum cum laude, from Howard University. "Prepayment of the poll tax as a requirement for voting has undoubtedly been a potent factor" in disfranchising Negroes. "The Negro learning that his disfranchisement was one of the purposes of the convention did not attempt to meet the requirements of registration—especially when the capitation tax was imposed as a prerequisite also. * * * Realizing that payment of the capitation tax six months before election was essential for voting and that the ballot was a privilege not to be enjoyed except by paying it, he, as he did not enjoy the privilege, felt no compunction in allowing the tax to become delinquent. As the State adopted a laissez-faire policy in not enforcing the collection of delinquent polls, he felt that this was a silent approval of his action." She entered Radcliffe in September, 1915, as an unclassed student and was admitted to the senior class this year. She has made an excellent record at Radcliffe and receives her degree, magna cum laude, in English. Miss Grant prepared for college at the Girls' Latin school of Boston. She has made a very high record at Radcliffe and was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa of the college this year. She receives her degree, magna cum laude, in the classics. In addition of her record as a student, Miss Grant has been prominent in college activities. She was treasurer last year and secretary this year of the classical club. She is a member of the English Art clubs and has served on seven committees her class. Miss Wright prepared for college at Cambridge Latin school. At Radcliffe she has concentrated in Economics and Philosophy and completed her course in February, 1917. She is a member of the Radcliffe c. L. S. club and has served on several committees, among them the Idler Door Committee. The Commencement Exercises are being held at Sanders Theatre, Harvard College, this afternoon, Wednesday, June 20, 1917.—Boston Chronicle. How to collect the poll tax from Negroes and at the same time not qualify him for voting is a problem which the General Assembly of 1916 has attempted to solve by passing an act for enforcing payment of delinquent polls by "levy, garnishment or otherwise." The General Assembly was careful, however, to frame this act so as to apply only to poll taxes "three years or more in arrears." In our next issue we will take up the second chapter of Mr. Snavely's paper, dealing with the real estate tax. The sane standard, "Eat enough food and no more," rigidly followed, would reduce greatly food bills in many homes and at the same time tend to improve the physical condition of all members of the household.

HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE We are just entering a season of the year when frequent visits will be made to the physician's office for the purpose of getting help to control certain diarrheal conditions that occur in infants and children during the warm period. These ailences occur year after year with almost unbroken regularity to the discomfiture of the doctor, and to the anxiety and worry of the mother. The resources of the physician is taxed to their full capacity in attempting to achieve the good results and restore the little sufferers to health again. These difficulties are met with in those who have delayed their coming for necessary help and advice. This trouble, in a very large measure, comes within that class of diseases that are purely preventive; especially with the children, and this method is par excellence to the health of these children. This complaint is too lightly regarded by parents who labor under the impression that they are all sufficient to check matters and bring the youngsters back to health in a short time. Under this false notion and belief they proceed to put their machinery and material into operation, working to effect a change or cure of trouble until the children become a seemingly hopeless case. When they fail, then they decide to call in the machinery and the effect results, and upon whose head they pour out vengeance because the children turn out fatally. The yearly toll taken of children from this disease can be reduced to a large, extent by two methods. First, by prevention, and second by curative measures. Of the two, the former is the most important, and one which Mr. J. D. Archer of Avenue B is confined to his home by illness. Mrs. Florence Johnson of Avenue B is again on the sick list. Mrs. Vessie Porter is attending the Hampton Summer Normal. Mr. Edward Clark is spending some time in Washington, D. C., visiting his mother. Mrs. L. Green of Washington Avenue, who has been sick for three weeks, is much improved. Mrs. Mamie Holloway, of South Hampton Avenue, is in Asheville, N. C. for her health. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Yeargins, who spent the winter in the South, are in the city. Prof. J. I. James, of Scotland Neck, N. C., passed through the city this week enroute to New York. The "stork" visited the home of Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Cummings on Washington Avenue, and left them a fine baby girl. Dr. Judge Stanley of New Bern, N. C., spent a day in the city this week visiting friends. He has returned to New Bern and resumed his position. Mrs. W. S. Matthews, of Raleigh, N. C., is taking the German Bath Treatment under Dr. W. F. Cummings at his Sanitarium on Washington Avenue. Mr. Major Donaldson, who has been in New York for a considerable time, has returned to the city and is stopping with his mother, Mrs. T. T. Donaldson, of 1005 Outten Street. Mrs. E. Shadrack of Gordon Avenue returned home after a delightful visit of four weeks in New York and Philadelphia, as the guests of her sons, Messrs. Shadrack and daughter, Mrs. Bass. Mrs. Josie L. Timberlake and daughter Luchele spent a few days with her brother, Mr. C. E. Long, of Dumbar Street. They were en route to New York, where they will spend the summer. Dr. D. W. Byrd attended the North Carolina State Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, which met at Greensboro, N. C., last week. Dr. Byrd is president of the National Medical Association. Miss Margaret Tucker, who has been in Norfolk for two weeks, and who underwent an operation at St. Vincent's Hospital, has returned to New Bern accompanied by her sister, Miss Emma Tucker. Mrs. Julin Hill Thompson was the charming hostess to the "Sayonra," their husbands and a few friends, Thursday evening, June 14th, in her cozy Queen Street home. At the close of a thoroughly enjoyable session delicious refreshments were served.

A., Mrs. Rosa Wells Kemp, the Misses Ida and Burnette Reed, Messrs Jas. Jackson, Thompson Reed and David Thompson, the host. On Saturday evening, June the 23rd, Miss Bettie Grant, entertained most PETER B. Town Topics can be applied by all. To prevent the occurrence of this disease, the parents should be on guard against indiscreations in diet, drink and other things that enter the mouth of the children. Especially should they be careful about the fresh fruits of the season that are so eagerly taken and enjoyed by most children. Quite often an attack of this trouble is directly traceable to this source. The new vegetables is another source causing this complaint which play much mischief with the young folks because of the freedom with which they are fed. The drinking water of these children during this period should be pure and wholesome and as free from germ life as conditions will permit. It is best to have the water sterilized and cooled to the proper temperature. This is done by boiling after which it is allowed to cool which should be the children's supply during the summer days. Soda water and soft drinks of every description should be tabooed and discouraged. The milk should be kept up to its purity and under such conditions that will keep it from spoiling. The curative method is for the physician only. He can do more with the case than any other man, and the little person can pain and misery by early consultation. The final results from these cases are generally due to the fact that they were not brought to the attention of the doctor in time for proper and professional management. Delays add to the mortality. Beware of treating these cases lightly; beware of the common negligence so manifest among the average mothers. Feed the children property and care for them with hygienic rules, and summer complaints will disappear gradually. delightfully at a buffet supper in house of Mr. and Mrs. Randolph MacNeal, who were married that morning in Sebrell, Va. Mrs. MacNeal was formerly Miss Laura Davis of this city. Covers were laid for eight and the decorations were pink and white carnations. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Randolph MacNeal, Mrs. Bertha Diggs, Author Nelson, Pearl Richards, Mrs. Allie Skinner, Miss Annie Grant, Mrs. C. W. Davis, Jr., and Paul Alexander. RECEPTION TO REV. AND MRS. WHITE. One of the most enjoyable events of the season was the reception tendered Rev. and Mrs. D. F. White on Monday evening in the First United Presbyterian Church, under the auspices of the Alumni Association of Norfolk Mission College. About two hundred representative citizens were present. The President, Mr. Thomas W. Stancille, made an introductory statement. Dr. S. F. Coppage spoke on Dentistry, Mr. C. A. Palmer on Government, and Miss Blanche Smith on Teachers. Rev. S. S. Morris spoke on behalf of visitors. Prof. Clydo D. Carter, accompanied by Mrs Carter, rendered a saxophone solo. Mr. Frank Carter introduced the guest of honor, Rev. Mr. White, who made a most impressive address. He said that the spirit of Norfolk Mission College must live long after the institution had passed out of existence, and that of whatever sins Norfolk might be called to bear she could not be charged with ingratitude. He urged his hearers to insist in unpopular causes, saying they were generally great causes and, to live lives for God, for race and nation. Mrs. White was called upon and in a two-minute address proved that she was a real companion to the guest of honor. The party sang and then adjourned to the basement, which was tastefully decorated with cut flowers, hunting and pennants, where refreshments were served to the assembled guests. MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT A quiet marriage took place Monday, June 11, 1917, at the home of Miss Lucy Barnes, 639 Goff street, when her sister, Mrs. Mary Ellen Jordan, became the wife of Mr. Edward B.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving memory of our dear wife and mother, Mary Crowell, who left us one year ago June 26, 1916: God called her home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love her still; Memory is as dear today, As in the hour she passed away. One sad year with its changes Since death made us part; But dear, these changes Cannot take you from our heart. So we'll try to still our heartaches And do our best to smile; For God will let us come to you After a little while. HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. Walter Crowell, Lossie Spencer, Ernest Crowell. It's all right to be popular, but the good opinion of many a man isn't worth the price. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE This story illustrates the fact that, no matter how high one may be in the social scale, there is no escape from the trials and disappointments that beset humanity. The estates of the Earl of Buffington and Sir Andrew Martindale, representatives of the old aristocracy of England, adjoined. The earl's only son, Oliver Tisdale, from the time he was two years old, was permitted to play with Gladys Martindale, a girl of seven. Then Oliver went to Eton and returned a handsome manly youth of seventeen. Gladys was at this time fifteen. There is something delightful in the love of two persons of opposite sex at this tender age. They drift, together unconscious of the slowly weaving thongs that are binding them to each other. It is a spiritual rather than a passionate love. At least it was so between these two. To Oliver, Gludys was something to be reverenced, protected, a thing of beauty both bodily and spiritually, not to be profaned. To Gludys, Oliver was the embodiment of manly strength and beauty. He was heir to an earldom, and this cast upon him a glamour, for she was merely a younger daughter of a baronet. No word of love was spoken between them at this period, for neither was consoless of love. Oliver went to Cambridge university, where he was graduated with credit, and choosing the army for his profession entered one of the regiments most frequented by noblemen. When he came home as a soldier he was a man and Gladys was a woman. What had been a sweet companionship now burst forth into a passion. The two were inseparable, and in time their engagement was announced. It was to have been expected that Oliver, being help to an earldom, would have mated with one of equal rank with himself and who would bring him an estate to match his own instead of uniting with a portionless daughter of a country baronet. But so charming was his fiancee that his family made no objection to receiving her as the future mistress of Buflington castle. Indeed, she was warmly welcomed. The nuptials and Oliver's coming of age were celebrated at the same time. If ever a couple seemed destined to a happy life this one certainly did. They had rank, wealth, health, everything that was calculated to make life enjoyable. The young lord was respected and his lady was beloved. Nevertheless, to the eastward a dark cloud was rising that was destined to overshadow the world. Suddenly grim war sounded her trumpet on the continent. It was hoard across the channel, and there was hurrying to and fro among British soldiers. Then Oliver left his bride to whom he had been married but a few weeks to join his command. The parting to her came as a great shock. In such cases the man is buoyed up by the excitement of the hour; it is the woman who suffers. His mind is taken up with that upon which he is forced to think; her mind is free to dwell upon the break and upon gloomy forebodings. And poor Gladys' forebodings in this case became realities. While that handful of British soldiers who formed the left wing of the united forces of England, France and Belgium were driven southward upon Paris news continually came across the strait of Dover of many an Englishman who would never return to his home. Many an heir to a title and estate went down like the plainest soldier in the ranks. Among those reported killed was the man or whom Gladys' happiness was dependent. For some time the news was kept from her, since there was a dread that she would not be able to bear it. But finally, fearing that she would hear of her loss through some unauthorized channel, her friends advised that she should be informed. Then arose the question who should inform her and how the announcement should be made. Both her parents shrank from the ordeal. It was finally committed to the family physician. The shock brought a singular effect. When the bride heard that she was a widow she was stunned, and at the passing away of the first effect she was left with the hallucination that her husband was with her. Whether she saw him in the flesh or in the spirit was not understood by those about her. When she walked out she appeared to be communing with some one walking beside her. While sitting by herself at home either reading or doing fancy work she would occasionally make a remark to one sitting beside her. No one intruded upon her to learn the exact nature of her hallucination. It was something too sacred to be profaned. One feature tended to render those near and dear to her content with it. It seemed to replace the mourning under which she would have suffered but for its existence. For this reason physicians advised that no attempt be made to convince her of her hallucination, for in case she realized that her husband was dead a worse condition was feared. As it was, she did not seem to be unhappy. Such is war. It is no respecter of persons. From time immemorial it has been the profession of the high born, who have been leaders of the humble. Together they have been sacrificed to the grim monster. Will the day ever come when man will rise so far above his brute nature that he will settle differences by peaceful methods? "Winnen are a queer lot," said the old fisherman. "They remind me most of a crab. If you expect a woman to move for'ard she goes back; if you expect her to go back she goes for'ard. And if you don't know which way she's goin' she moves sideways. "Anyway, the only gal I was ever stuck on went that sort of a gait as long as I knew her as a gal. She was the daughter of a man who owned one of the best farms ten miles back of the coast and with a lot o' money in bank. Phoebe was the only child of her parents, and it was glamly suspicion that when the old man 'died she'd git it all." "I was a husky young feller in those days and was in my element when in my boat. She was a single sticker with a jib, and I reckon I knew how to sail her. "I was fishin' in those days, but in midsummer we was shut off from takin' lobsters, and the mackerel are hard to get. Now and then I get a chance to take out saillin' parties. When Phoebe came down she always had money her dad had given her for spendin', and she used to invite saillin' parties to go out with her. My boat seemed to be her favorite, though my reputation for saillin' in a fog or at night might have had sometim' to do with it. At any rate, Phoebe always took my boat when she could get it. "She was mighty fond of the water, Phoebe was, and when she had nothin' else to do would come down to the dock and just loaf around. One mormn' she came down when I was startin' out to place my nets. "If you'd like to go with me to the fishin' grounds,' I said, 'you're welcome. I'm comin' back after placeh' the nets, and I'll bring you right here." "She looked doubtful, but mighty sudden she jumps down on to the dock. I loosed the palater and pushed off. There was a good breeze, and we sailed along in the sunlight. "Maybe I wasn't a happy youinker! Talk about work, it wasn't work at all, although it was mukdin' a livin'. Phoebe was gay and port as a little red squirrel. I took her out to the fashin' grounds to the lee of black island and brought her back in time for noon dinner, and she seemed to have enjoyed herself botten' when we had saillin' parties aboard. "After that Phoebe used to go out with me a good deal. The bay was always full o' boats, and she often halled friends o' hers. Sometimes they tried to persuade her to leave me and go with them, but she wouldn't. She told me she liked it better to have the whole run of the boat than sittin' bolt upright in a crowd ranged around the gunwale. "When we went out in the mornin' the bay was usually quiet, but if we came back in the afternoon there was apt to be a stiff wind that kicked a sea which made a small boat uncomfortable. One morning Phoebe came down to the dock with a lunch box and asked if I was goln' to the fishin' grounds. I knew by the box that she calculated to make a day of it, so I said I was goln' and wouldn't come back till afternoon. That suited her. She got aboard, and we sailed away. "That afternoon the wind came on to blow fiercer than I had ever known it except in a regular storm. In order to make a straight course for home we had to take the wind and sea on the ford quarter, which wasn't comfortable, seein' that the boat soon was half full o' water and we was both wet as drowned rats. But this wasn't the wust of it. It blowed harder and harder, and after awhile I almost wondered if so small a boat would live in such a gale. "Phoebe sat down, backed by the cabin, watchin' me. There's somepin' for a woman to look at in a husky man fightin' wind and waves, and I could see admiration in Phoebe's face. She didn't seem a bit afraid, so long as I was at the tiller. "When I luffed up to the pier and law Phoebe jump up on to it I felt a big relief. She stood up there, smiling at me, and she says: "That's a sail as is a sail. Not one of your little pleasure excursions for wimmin and children." "Just so," says I, hopin' I'd never git caught ag'in in such a blow with a gal aboard, especially that gal. "By this time I was desprit in love with Phoebe, and I was miserable, for it warnn't to be expected that I would ever speak the word to a rich farmer's daughter, I behn' nothin' but a fisherman, makin' little or nothin'. "September was comin' on. Phoebe tole me to come up to the house, where she was, and she would settle some accounts there was between us. I went and she had it all figured out that she owed me $1.37. "She went upstairs to git the money, and she stayed so long that at last I looked around for someone to interest me. I got up and walked about the room. There was a partly finished letter layin' on the desk. Without thinkin' what I was doin' I read a few lines and they was the most important lines to me I ever read. They just made my heart thump like a hammer splittin' logs. "When Phoebe come in with the money she coved me I caught her it my arms. "What I want to know is why she couldn't have let me know she wanted me in a plain, straightforward way without writin' to a friend and puttin it where I see it?"

Above all things, smile! Smile though a burden of sorrow seems crushing you to the earth. Smile though grief tugs at your heartstrings. If your days are gray and your tasks humdum, smile. Smile until you awaken that joy center which lives at the core of you. And after you have once awakened it keep on stimulating it daily with your persistent practice of joy. A smile, like the sun, dispels the gloom. So smile. Grasp Your Opportunities. A great many men have been left behind because of their listlessness, their easy going ways. They were too slow. Opportunities would not wait for them. They would have taken advantage of them, would have succeeded, if the chance had not hurried by so fast. In the opportunities had tarried awhile had given them a chance to look them over and consult their friends, or if they had only come back, these gentle people would now be on the heights instead of looking wistfully up from the foot of the mountain. But, also, opportunities never return, and he who is not ready to seize them as they fly onward will have only regrets for his portion. Pressing Trousers. "In pressing trousers," said a tailor "the first thing you want to do, before ironing in the creases, is to take out the bagginess at the knees. To do this, you turn the trousers inside out and spread each leg on the ironing board, not as you lay them to press the creases, but exactly the other way crosswise, from seam to seam, and then you lay on the damp cloth and press in the usual fashion with the hot iron. By this pressing you shrink the wool fibers of the cloth together again where they have been punched out at the knees; you take out the bagginess and then you turn the trousers right side out again and press for creases." Fame's Brief Life. One thing is certain in regard to fame, for most of us it will be very brief in itself, for all of us it will be transient in our enjoyment of it. When death has dropped the curtain we shall hear no more applause, and, though we fondly dream that it will continue after we have left the stage, we do not realize how quickly it will die away in silence while the audience turns to look at the new actor and the next scene. Our position in society will be filled as soon as it is vacated and our name remembered only for a moment, except please God, by a few who have learned to love us not because of fame, but because we have helped them and done them some good.-Henry van Dyke. An Early Keats Volume. One interesting little point about the publication of Keats' "Isabella" is worth recalling. The title page runs: "Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, and Other Poems, by John Keats, Author of Endymion. London. Printed for Taylor & Hesser, Fleet Street, 1820." Now, among the "Other Poems" of this volume, not considered worthy of special mention, is Keats' "Hyperion," the work which in some aspects shows the poet at his highest and by mere measurement is the longest piece in the book.—London Mail.

OBITUARY ROBERT MALLORY Mr. Robert Mallory died at his late residence, 411 Lodge street, June 15, at 6:40 o'clock p. m. His death came very suddenly, he having been in good health during the day. The funeral was held at the Bank Street Baptist church, of which he was a member for seventy-one years. He is survived by two sons, John and Robert; a daughter-in-law, granddaughter and a host of relatives and friends. Make the home what it should be—the abode of happiness. There is no better way of loving and proving our love than by showing at home all the courtesies, sunshine and "better aide" of our natures that most of us reserve for company use, for love that takes these things for granted is either counterfeit or perilously near death.

Dear Members and Friends of the} Virginin Baptist State Convention: | Fourteen days more will bring us! face to face with the Baptist multi- tudes, in the jubilee meettay, on Sem- inary’ Hill, Lynchburg, Va., duly 10-15. For this momentous océasion much has been said und done to ereate in- terest. Rev. James E. Carter has trav eled over hill and yale, us superine tendent, of education and missions, blowing the jubilee trumpet that ali may know everywhere that “The year of Jubilee is Come.” Dr. T. Il. White, our corresponding, secretary, has sent forth circulars far and. wile, while from the office of the writer hundreds and hundreds of letters have gone to organizations and individuals telling the story of the jubilee. And much has been said for the meeting in our press, by many brethren. And if we are to judge the interest of the peo- ple in general by the expressed enthu- siasf of thse that we have met in and out of Virginia the occasion is bound to far exceed all ordinary expecta- tion and calculation. And that is just what it is going todo. Why brushes will never paint, nor can pen picture, [neither will tongue be able to express ‘the glory and grandeur of that jubi- . lee meeting on the hill. |, Ie is so gratifying to behold the in ., terest that our people outside of Vir- ‘I ginia are taking in this mecting, And .leertainly our people in this state will Ihave to “rise and shine” to hold their {own on the great occasion, and I an ‘sure they are going to do So. At the E New England convention in Boston 1 the great president, Dr. Johnson, gave » the jubilee mecting ample_referencé ‘in his masterful annual address. An most of the brethren there are on th tiptoe of interest for the meeting. Th only Dr. W. W. Brown in all the worl informed me that be has two hundre: and fifty daliars for the jubilee meet pling already counted. And there ar djmany others in that city, New York d{who are not going to take back seat eion the hill in’ Lynchburg, July 10-15 o| Dr. W. P. Graham, “lender of men, r survivor of the “Big Four,” told u o! how much money he has ready for. thi {meeting also, but the figures are to ir|large to expose at this time, but al s.|who know the man (and everybod {knows him) knows that he is mad 5.|in a big mold and has a mind wit 1-| which to think in laiye terms and th THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE ability to bring such to pass. - Dr. Graham and Dr. W.’T, Hall, the efficient president of the greatest colored Baptist conference, perhaps, in the world, with the great President E, W. Johnson and many other Bup- tist giants of the city of “Brotherly Love,” are coming down in a spe- cial train of cars, to Lynchburg. And now you need not think that the brethren in other parts of Penn- sylvania, including the “Smoky City,” are not going to be in great evidence, for as sure az you live they will. And then New Jersey and all the New England states are going to come to the “help of the Lord against the mighty.” In a word, all of our friends and brethren outside of Virginia, as well as those in the state, will render great help in doing honor to the great occasion. ‘The Jubilee banners have been made and have been delivered. The work was done by the Publishing Board and splendid it’ is. The jubilee med- als are very beautiful and will make some two Baptist preachers happy. Who will they be? Brethren, Please bring your mones in as large denominations as possible This will greatly help the committe on finance. We must work fast now, as thi time is at hand. And perhaps thi last week will get the medal for you T have done my best for the jubile meeting thus far, T bic you » temporary adieu. Ant if you do not see any more here, hope to meet you at the jubilee. Yours for a great jubilee meeting, ‘A. A. GALVIN. Pres.

THE NEGRO REFORMATORY AT HANOVER Maybe some of our readers would be glad to know a few things about what I regard as one of the best Negro institutions of the state—the Negro Reformatory, Broad Neck Farm, Hanover, Va. It was my pleasure to spend last Saturday, Sunday and part of Monday with the 200 or more of the unfortunate boys there, sent from our several cities and counties. I took along three boys from this city. It might be a great pleasure to anyone, who possibly may become interested in the salvation of our boys, to visit this institution. I found Mr. T. J. Edwards, the young man very efficient president, still at his post of duty, assisted by his most amiably devoted wife, in the pilot house of management, with Miss Anna Edwards as their office clerk. They are making good. There are some 20 other assistants, a half dozen of whom are widows. All gave me a most cordial welcome. It was my pleasure to speak to most all of them—including all the boys. on Sunday afternoon, on "The Purity Club." What I did not say about it would fill many books. Accepting an ovation, I promised to visit them again as soon as I have to take some more boys—it not sooner. One of the greatest objections one may entertain to this institution is he, or she, may be entertained over elaborately by the president and his very faithful co-laborers. There is such a thing as mental, influential and heart indigestion. But no. You may JULY Celebration Suffolk, Va. For Fair Grounds m. Bicycle Race 1 p. m. Foot Race 2 p. m. FOOD PRIZES RACES 2:10 P.

Al and Mac Delmont, novelty musicians, opened what was without a doubt the best bill presented at the Palace. Their various musical entertainments were all played with great skill. Their special scenery was beautiful and well arranged. Intermingled with their music were some spicy jokes. The dancing by the lady members of the team was extraordinary. This number was very classical. "Down Where the Swannee River Flows" is what Jack Wiggins, champion buck dancer, opened with. Of course he received applause repeatedly, which was well deserving, for he is "some" dancer. He was severe with his "married" dope and caused much laughter with many references to the dual life. There were many new steps that appeared very easy to Wiggins, who seems to deserve being called the champion. Harrington and Mills, with musical instruments of their own invention, appear causing an uproar. With the latest jokes, that were characterized to make folks laugh, they made good. Harrington's make-up alone would cause as much hilarity as a dozen ordinary jokes. Miss Mills as impersonator was splendid. The "Blues" was much in evidence during the week, but Harrington knows just how to sing it for he was called back. Dancing was very good. From behind the curtain came a clear strong voice singing a patriotic song, "We Will Never Let the Old Flag Fall." The voice was from one that has thrilled thousands for more than thirty years. Mrs. Billy Kersands came out amid cheers waving the stars and stripes. "My Old Home Town" and other songs were received cordially. As an elocutionist the aged lady showed much tack and ability. Had the final song and dance been omitted a more favorable impression would have been gleaned, yet for it she had to respond to the encores. Although past three score years, she still has the goods. Kirkpatrick and Brown, doing high-class singing, was the last act on the bill. Good singing by both of the members of this team in the best costumes of the week, put them far above the average team. Many selections were rendered and each was very sweet. Team work by this couple was extraordinary good. Kirkpatrick and Brown made a distinctive hit with the crowd and received encores. The show was very good, and drew large crowds every night. Every act was good and clean. It was fast, new and clean, just the kind that the large intelligent crowds appreciate. Amateur Night. By far the largest Wednesday night crowd of the season was on hand to greet the amateurs this week. There were four to appear and each of them was very good. Mr. William Robinson, the well-known local baritone, rendered a beautiful selection. Thunders of applause brought him back. He was the best of the amateurs. Bosco Williams, the barrel jumper, came back again with some new stunts for which he received the third prize. "Johnny" Robinson, hyponotist specialist, also gave some new depo that was good. Percy Bivens created much laughter doing a novelty trick Amateur Night Every Wednesday Can You Sing, Play or Recite?
