Guidej Quality PRINTING Brings Results Secretary of War Baker Issues Order With Reference To Lieut. Col. Young. MAY NOT BE RETIRED Washington, D. C.—In response to a letter from Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, Secretary Baker issued a statement to the effect that Col. Young has been restored to active duty. Dean Miller's leetter to the secretary transmitted the complaint of Attorney Charles S. Darden of Los Angeles, which represented the possibility of injustice being done Col. Young at the present time. The correspondence follows: My dear Prof. Miller: Through you to the students of Howard I desire to extend my congratulations on their success in procuring the training camp for Negro officers at Des Moines. Considering all the circumstances and conditions existing in our country today, it certainly was a great victory of the students of Howard for our race. As they have done so well in that matter, I am inlined to invoke their aid in an effort originating with me, for a greater victory along the same lines. You perhaps have already heard that Captain Davis, of the Ninth Cavalry, has been sent to the Phillipines with his cavalry in spite of his request for permission to remain and render service with the colored soldiers in France. You perhaps also know that Lieut. Col. Young has been ordered to Presidio, our army hospital, for medical observation and treatment, in spite of the fact that Col. Young is, according to my investigation, enjoying the very best health of his life. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the administration to either isolate our regular commissioned army officers, or put them on the retired list, and it would be contrary to the time honored custom and precedent of the War Department, to order commissioned officers to meet them to come out of that hospital, except on the retired list: It is the opinion of men well informed on the subject, in the locality, that Col. Young will be retired by the government for the purpose of preventing his further advancement in the army, and his actual participation in the present war. You remember that the only three commissioned officers in the regular army, aside from the army chaplain, are Col. Young, Capt. Daivs, now in route to the Phillipines, and Captain Green, stationed at Liberia, all of whom ought to be considered in the organization of the separate division of the 30,000 colored troops now being organized. But it now appears that neither of these officers will, in any way, be connected or associated with that division. It would certainly be as cowardly an act on our part to sit idly by and submit, without protest, to the retirement of Col. Young, as it will be on the part of the War Department, through its Army-hospital, which brings it about. I am also informed that an Ohio senator protested vigorously against the department's order of Davis to the Philippines, but of course, without avail. Isn't here some method which can be pursued in behalf of our colored commissioned officers which would not embarrass them on the records of the War Department? CHARLES S. DARDEN In transmitting this letter Prof. Miller said: The Secretary of War Washington The Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. My dear Sir: I beg leave to submit the enclosed complaint against the War Department. I am indisposed to believe that any department of the government of the United States would place a stumbling block in the way of the patriotism of the humblest American citizen. I beg to hope that the War Department, through an authorized statement, will set at rest all such suspicions as are contained in the enclosed communication. KELLY MILLER. July 5, 1917. In response to Dean Miller's letter on July 7th the War Department issued the following statement: Dear Dean Miller: I have just received your note of July 5th, and return herewith the complaint which you enclosed. I am very happy to tell you that the work at Des Moines Camp is progressing remarkably well, and the reports I have on it are very good. The spirit of the men is fine, and apparently this encampment is going to do a very great deal of good, both to the country and to the men envolved. Your correspondent writes chiefly about Lt. Col. Young, a colored officer of the regular army and a graduate of West Point, and a man with a fine record for service in the army. Sometimes ago a board of officers passed upon his health and found him completely incapacitated for service; not obviously and visibly, but because, unfortunately, of their finding that it was Bright's disease. The report of the board was approved by the The Journal and Guide surgeon general, but in view of the fact that Col. Young's record is a long and honorable one, and the government needs officers of his rank and ability, it was directed that another board be convened to re-examine the question so as to make quite sure that there could not be any error in the matter. I have directed that the report of the Board be returned to me personally before being acted upon, not because I find myself able to believe that any prejudice would produce the deep dishonor of a false report; but because I want to be able to give the assurance that will quire that I have given my own personal thought and attention to this case, in which so many are interested. I hope the Board will find Col. Young still able to perform active duty. In the meantime, I have directed that he be restored to active duty, and have at least the hope of being able to have his assistance for the present. Cordially yours, NEWTON D. BAKER Secretary of War.

Brown) Fayetteville, N. C., July 16.—In keeping with the reputation of the State Colored Normal School, and the efficient management of the principal, Dr. E. E. Smith, the institution is enjoying one of its best summer sessions Twenty-seven counties are represented, and one hundred, and fifty-two teacher students have been registered for attendance at the beginning of the second week. The faculty is composed of some of the best and most experienced teachers in the State. They are as follows: Miss Lillian E. Burke,an A. B. graduate of Howard University, a regular teacher of this school, is the instructress in English, Sanitation and Hygiene; Miss Effie C. Pointer of Raleigh, N. C., and a Hampton graduate, has charge of the Primary work and Physical Culture; Mrs. Florence C. Williams, of Raleigh, N. C., has supervision over the Domestic Arts. Mrs. Williams is recognized as one of the leading supervisors of the State. Mr. J. N. Brown, principal of the Third Ward Graded School, of Charlotte, N. C., is the instructor in Arithmetic, Physiology and School Management; Prof. Percy H. Stokes, a Hampton graduate, is the instructor in Geography, Agriculture and Manual Arts; Prof. J. F. Burrell, a Hampton graduate, is the instructor in History and Civics. With the strong faculty, the work is moving on in very good shape. The teacher students are settling down to real work. They seem perfectly satisfied with the instructors and instruction. During the first week, the principal gave a very enjoyable social, and every teacher was well pleased. In fact it was a typical acquaintance social affair. Last Sunday morning, Prof. King, superintended the Sunday School session in the Assembly Hall. At night a very enthusiastic song service was conducted by Dr. Smith. The outlook is encouraging. Teachers are still finding their way to Fayetteville. With these earnest and anxious teachers, it is predicted that the Fayetteville State Colored Normal will close one of the best Summer Schools in its history. Dr. Smith is giving both faculty and teacher students fine entertainment. A notable feature of the Summer School is that some of the ablest teachers in the State are in attendance. Some of them are Profs. J. H. Clement, Rockingham Graded School, W. S. King, Selma Graded School, H. M. Steward, the leading teacher of Harnet County, J. S. Brown, of the Baptist School of Hamlet, and others whose names space will not allow mention. Some of the leading educators of the State are expected to visit here during the session.

RACE ASKED TO SUSPEND JUDGMENT Whites of Country Not To Be Judged By East St. Louis Mob. BE PATIENT AND HOPEFUL Principal Long Strikes Optimistic Note In Reviewing Horrors Of East St. Louis. Christianburg, Va.—A statement given out by President E. A. Long of the Christianburg Institute and pub- lished in the Roanoke Times and other papers in this section of the State urged colored citizens to refrain from "making hasty, radical statements, regarding the East St. Louis riots, and urged patience and hopefulness, in view of the progress the race is mak- ing and the increasing number of white friends who are speaking out in our behalf. Mr. Long's statement follows: "In view of the recent atrocities committed in East St. Louis, I very much fear that those counted as leaders among Negro people may gain a wrong impression from the incident and create a sentiment detrimental to the interests of both races. "No one can deny that the East St. Louis holocaust is a blot upon American civilization. The effects of it will be lasting and unless drastic measures are taken to bring to justice the perpetrators of the crime the name of America may become a byword and a hissing among the civilized nations of the world, and her fair boast that she is fighting to make "the world safe for democracy" may be rightly regarded as hollow mockery. However, I would warn colored people, and especially leaders whose words carry weight—ministers, editors, professional and business men generally, from making hasty, radical statements either in public or in private from which the impression may be gained that the Negroes have no friends among the white race. "While such incidents as the East St. Louis tragedy may seem inexplicable to foreigners with whom this nation must necessarily be more or less closely associated during the course of the present war, and many years afterward for all we know, they do not justify us in concluding that the Negro is not making progress nor that he has no friends among the white people. If we stop to think a moment there is scarcely a Negro anywhere in this country who can not claim one or more white persons as friends. This is peculiarly manifest. Instances could be multiplied in the ed in the South, but not entirely so. North where strong affection exists between white people and black people. No braver statement ever came from a man than that uttered by Col. Roosevelt in New York recently when he said: "It behooves us to express our condemnation of acts that give the lie to our words within the limits of our own country and to say that it is impossible that there should be justification for mob violence. It is our duty to demand that the governmental authorities shall use with ruthless severity every power at their command to punish those guilty of murder whether committed by whites against blacks or whether by blacks against whites." "I recall also with great appreciation the very firm statement made in the editorial columns of this paper upon the first outburst in East St. Louis several weeks ago, alloft which clearly indicates that well-wishers of the Negro are confined to no section. "If therefore, I had any suggestions to offer, I would say to my own people, let us be patient, let us be loyal, let us be hopeful, and exemplify the generous spirit of those brave sons of Africa now on the firing line in France trying to free Belgium from the tyranny—many of them descendants of them, let Belgium multilated and destroy. Let that magnanimity of spirit which was exhibited by One who said: "Forgive them, they know not what they do." "To the white friends of the Negro, I would say you can best help us by creating among your people strong sentiment for exact justice and fair play in the little as well as in the big things. "A word fitly spoken by a few brave souls will galvanize into activity many timorous ones whose impulses are to do what they know to be right, but who are deterred for fear of public sentiment. If we had a few more white friends who would 'ery aloud and spare not,' it would not be long before there would be such a healthy public sentiment in this country that the crime of East St. Louis would be unthinkable." Charles Satchchell Morris, Jr., national field secretary for relief of colored French war orphans, and the local committee are gratified over results of the present campaign. $500.00 has been raised in cash and pledges, and some of Norfolk's most prominent citizens have contributed. The Tidewater Ministers' Conference (colored) went on record unanimously Monday as giving the movement their "moral and financial support." Sunday, July 22nd and Sunday, July 29th, are the days designated to raise offerings. The Sundays will he known as French Relief Days, and it is very earnestly hoped every minister will enlist in this great effort and have his parishioners contribute as largely as possible. It is also hoped that every denomination will raise money, on the Sundays designated. The movement is an interdenominational one, therefore all should aid. Another monster mass meeting has been arranged for Sunday, July 29th at 4:00 p. m., in the Bute Street Baptist Church. Rev. S. S. Morris will preside. Mr. J. H. L. Baxter will recite an original poem. Prof. Clyde D. Carter will render a saxophone solo. Capt. Tazewell Taylor will deliver an address. The Church Street bands of the city have been invited to furnish sacred music. The Hiawatha Quartette has also been requested to sing again. This great mass meeting will end the campaign for Norfolk for the summer. Another great meeting will be held in the Fall. The ministers will report on that day the results of their effort, and will be the honored guests. The results of the openings will be published. Every club organization, every church, every club, every man and woman is asked to be at this great mass meeting at Bute Street Baptist Church Sunday, July 29th, a week from Sunday. Contributions may be sent to Chas. S. Morris, Jr., Executive Secretary, 711-717 Highland Avenue or William M. Rich, Treasurer, Brown Savings Bank, Queen and Grant Streets. Mr. Morris secured the Colonial Theater Wednesday for a great meeting of white and colored people the first week in September, which the French Ambassador will address. He is also in receipt of a message from President Wilson, the contents of which have not been divulged. Celebration of Fiftieth Anniversary At Lynchburg Was Complete Success Winston-Salem, N. C.—I have just arrived here from Lynchburg, where I attended the Fifth Anniversary of the Baptist Convention. This was indeed a great meeting. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York, New Jersey, Washington, D. C., and other points north were well represented. Dr. R. Kemp of Charleston, S. C., brought greetings from his state. Rev. Henry Allen Bord of Nashville, Tenn., was present. Those who came from the northern cities did not come empty handed. Rev. J. C. Austin turned over to the convention $880; of this amount $655.00 came from his church alone. Dr. W. F. Graham of Philadelphia brought $300.00 from his church. New York City represented by Dr. Sims and Boddie brought $498. Rev. R. H. Bowling, Norfolk, Va., $300. These were among the largest amounts sent by any one church. Many great speeches were made by members of the next session will be held in Newport News, Va. More than $13,000 was raised. The next session will be the Sunday School convention and Woman's Education, where they did their part in helping to raise this amount. On my way to Lynchburg I made a short stop in upholk, Peterburg, Hosewell and stop in church, also Rev. Eldridge's, Dr. L. G. Jordan of Philadelphia was also present with Rev. Brown on Sunday. Dr. Jordan has just re-entered the living interesting lectures on conditions there. Sunday at 6 p. m. I left for Richmond, Va. I only had a short stay in Richmond. I met a friend. We were informed that one of the friends opened the door on the opened on Second street by Mr. William Murrell. As soon as I entered it I saw that it was as represented. I wish for Mr. Morris much success. I was shown through by him. I left Richmond for Lynchburg where I spent the week. On leaving Lynchburg I boarded train No. 37, which carries only Pullman coaches. As I train there, I meet the conductor and said, "This train does not make it easy for you to have to pay extra." I replied that it did not matter about the price. I was the only one who boarded the train. We arrived in Greenbelt on July 29th at 7:30 a.m. there and made a short visit to the A. and T. College. Prof. J. B. Dudley and Dr. S. B. amateurs made my stay very pleasant. The amateurs are there from various parts of the state. Several subscriptions were obtained while in Greenbelt on July 23rd left for Winston-Salem where the of the dining hall is the state. A full write-up will be given later. I wish to thank each one for their subscriptions, shall remain here to attend the Laymen's Memorial meeting which will be held July 22-25. Occupants Miraculously Escape Death When Electric Bolt Got Busy That the entire family of H. W. Melvin was not instantly killed at their residence in West 46th street during the storm last Sunday afternoon is very miraculous. While watching the storm with Mrs. Melvin and the two children, an electric bolt crashed against the chimney near where they were seated. The lightning enveloped Mrs. Melvin, severely shocking her, while her two-year old baby seated in her lap escaped injury. Mr. Melvin was slightly shocked as was his four-year old son, old son. The lightning damaged the roof, dislocated the plastering about the floor in one of the bed rooms, knocked down the stove pipe in the kitchen, and darting through an open window, struck an electric controller.

SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS On Page 2 PRICE:_ FIVE CENTS STRONG APPEAL TO PRESIDENT WILSON Prof. Jordan Writes Him That Moment For Decisive Action At Hand. BLAMES ADMINISTRATION Declares Country, In Its Treatment Of Negroes Has Taken Cue From The President Immediately following the East St. Louis race riots hundreds of letters and telegrams were sent President Wilson and members of Congress men and women throughout the country appealing for federal investigation and some action upon the part of the administration. One of the strongest of these letters was from Prof. D. J. Jordan, of Greensboro, who said in part: "The love I have for humanity and a desire to be of whatever service I may at this time of national crisis, are the only excuses I plead for addressing you this letter upon this the one hundred and forty first anniversary of our country's independence,—an independence only made possible and only preserved to this good hour by the united patriotic endeavors of both your people and mine. "Upon this day when every true American is wont to be glad and rejoice, we, twelve millions of your fellow citizens, men and women and children, as loyal as any people ever were and descendants of men who wrote in blood the testimony of their fealty from Boston Commons to Carrazal—we fin ourselves sad, moody, discouraged." "The rule of our law and order, the foundation of our boasted civilization, is surely and steadily giving way throughout our land to the rule of the mob. Not to go back of the countless inexcusable atrocities of mob violence, wide spread over the nation by which it has been shown that men, women and children, your fellow countrymen, may be murdered in the most fliendish manner by any lawless gang that may desire to engage in that kind of pastime, and that, too, with absolute impunity, I would respectfully call your attention to the fact that, if newspaper reports of the affair are at all reliable, only a few hours ago this spirit of lawlessness reached a point of defiant disregard of law never before attempted, in this generation certainly, and as a result thousands of your fellow countrymen in East St. Louis are suffering today. Hundreds of men in the peace of the state have been ruthlessly killed and women and children assaulted and murdered in the public thorofares of that city, not to mention the willful and wanton destruction of millions in property. "And do you ask why this outbreak? It was because men and women, your fellow countrymen, finding conditions of life intolerable in one section of your country, had sought work and a place to sleep in East St. Louis. "All of the foregoing you know far more accurately than I do; but there is another fact which I fear you do not know. Millions upon millions of your fellow countrymen are charging the responsibility for these outrages to your government at Washington. Your government has shown more disregard of the feelings and rights of Negro Americans than any other president since James Buchanan, even in the face of your splendid assurance to the late Bishop Walters as to what your attitude toward this people would be. Since then you have uttered many fine sentiments about the rights of humanity and the glories of democracy, but by your nets you have told your fellow countrymen that you do not regard the Negro as human and that the notorious chief justice who declared that black men have no rights that others are bound to respect, expressed a sentiment with which you are in hearty accord. "Thus you see that the country in its treatment of Negroes has taken its cue from its president. Millions of your countrymen, and of just men in foreign lands, have been pained to note that though you have powerfully concerned yourself for the welfare of the Mexican, the Belgians, the Chinese and the Irish, you have used none of your tremendous power, nor uttered, even in whisper, one word in behalf of twelve millions of your own fellow citizens in your own government, whose welfare you have been chosen to conserve. "Finally Mr. President, in the exercise of what I believe to be my constitutional right, I beg to present you this my petition and pray that you speak now and throw the influence of the State into the order and the rights of humanity, and stop the triumphant march of the mob before it is too late." SPECIAL NOTICE Parties reserving dates at Little Bay Beach for excursions, picnics, etc., are advised to lose no time in making application to the Virginia Railway & Power Co., for cars. It is well to apply immediately upon closing date as the traction company is confronted with a shortage of labor and it is difficult to furnish car crews at short notice.

PETER THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE CALIFORNIA FRUIT CIDER The New Soft Drink a Success—Has Become Exceedingly Popular M. E. B. Among the many newly installed enterprises in the city, the California Fruit Cider Co., Inc., is one of the most popular. The only business of the kind in the city owned and controlled by colored men, in which Mr. C. H. Oliver is the treasurer and business manager. The California Fruit Cider manufactured by this company leaped into popularity as soon as placed upon the market, which is not a surprise, since it has proven to be such a delicious and refreshing drink. The object of the management is to inform the public that it is the only real family drink of the kind and is guaranteed to contain no "dope" or narcotics. Quite a sum of money, time and study have been spent with the desire to produce the most wholesome drink among the soft drink kind, which may be used without fear or objection as a beverage in the home, and the manner in which some of the best citizens are ordering by the crate, California Fruit Cider, to be drunk in the home means that the manufacturers have succeeded in their purpose. The name of Mr. C. H. Oliver as treasurer and manager of the Corporation, well and favorably known, and who has long been identified with other enterprises in the city should be a guarantee as to the genuine quality of this delicious drink. Some of the most prominent families and merchants here are using this best of all drinks, are Messrs. E. B. Tucker, R. C. Steward, Parker, of the Giltedgra Cafe and most all of the leading soft drink stands in Norfolk. RECORD PRICE FOR COTTON Young Colored Farmer Received 26 Cents a Pound For 50 Bales.

Boston Woman Recommending It To Her Friends Popular Boston Lady Says Tonollane Has Proven a Godsend to Her the statements of our friends, and es- it is always interesting to listen to pecially when you know they are sincere and honest in what they say. Added interest is created in a statement coming from one who has spent a lifetime in Boston, where she is well known socially. Such a person is Annie Stewart, who calls in Boston, and is possessed of the respect and confidence of her associates, and is willing for anyone to call on her to verify the following signed testimonial. "I have suffered with stomach trouble for the past seven years. It took the form of indigestion and dyspepsia. I had dizzy spells and hendaches, and after I ate a little food it would ferment and cause gas to form in my stomach. I had pains all over my body, and was chronically constipated. My liver was torpid, and I felt generally miserable. I had doctored and had been in the hospital, but received no permanent relief. I was so nervous and restless that at night I could scarcely sleep. The gas pressing under my heart caused palpitation, and then arose in the morning I was just as thirsty when I retired two weeks ago. I began to topline, and I can truthfully state that it has done wonders in my case. I am feeling like a new woman and can eat any kind of food. I sleep the night through and have no more aches or pains; in fact, it has cured me, and I am recommending it to all of my friends, as it has been a Godsend to me." Burrow-Martin & Co., and Strole Drug Co. sell and guarantee tonoline. There are numerous symptoms of this trouble that tonoline can relieve. In fact, any of the following may denote affections of the stomach: Indigestion, dyspepsia, belching of wind, bad breath, sick throbbing headache, poor circulation, night sweats, that tired feeling, costiveness, coated tongue or a poor complexion. Caution: As tonoline is recommended, as a flesh builder those not wishing to increase their weight 15 pounds or more should not take it continuously.

JULY 21, 1917 AN UNSOUND THEORY During a recent conference between members of the Chamber of Commerce committee on Food Conservation and officials of the Old Dominion Steamship Company regarding the shortage of dock labor in Norfolk the newspapers report that Mr. Goodridge and other members of the committee asserted that "the Old Dominion Steamship Company did not have enough men because the rate of 20 cents an hour paid by the company was too low," and that Assistant General Manager Palen and President Walker "took the stand that it would be useless to raise wages, that when higher wages were paid the workmen simply worked fewer hours." If such has been the experience of the Old Dominion Steamship Company it is apparent that as an industrial corporation it has neglected a very important detail in the management of its affairs. The biggest American corporations have succeeded because in their organizations there were executives who were able to discern differences in standards among men and selected their man power in accordance with those standards. The assumption of the Old Dominion officials would certainly hold good with some men, while with the majority of workingmen it would not hold good. If such were true the industrial plants of the city would be idle nearly all of the time, as most of them pay over 20 cents an hour. There are hundreds of men in the city who work six full days in every week in the year for wages in excess of 25 cents an hour. These men are supporting families and many of them are buying homes. They could not meet their obligations if they worked on the dock at 20 cents an hour. This class of men will not seek work on the docks because of the low wage scale there. The class of men attracted to the docks are largely those who have neither obligations nor ideals that require them to make full time. The problem of the Old Dominion Steamship Company is to either get men of a better type or elevate the living standards of those they have. The first step in this direction that its officials should take is to disbuse their minds of the impression that all laborers have the same standards. The company could very advantageously serve its own interests as well as the interests of its clients by making a survey of the social conditions prevailing among the colored population of this section, from which it draws the bulk of the labor that feeds the arteries of its organization. THE DIRT ROADS OF NORFOLK The dirt roads of Norfolk, of which threany miles, constitute a neglected obligatity owes nearly fifty thousand of its popu no reside on these dirt roads in Monroe, Lamberts Point and in Berkley. Norfolk being to become one of the nation's greatest arts and the seat of its greatest naval barry has other aspirations toward becone city, aspirations that are very worthy which all of her citizens heartily join. The dirt roads of Norfolk, of which there are many miles, constitute a neglected obligation the City owes nearly fifty thousand of its population, who reside on these dirt roads in Monroe ward, in Lamberts Point and in Berkley. Norfolk is aspiring to become one of the nation's greatest seaports and the seat of its greatest naval base. The city has other aspirations toward becoming a great city, aspirations that are very worthy and in which all of her citizens heartily join. About three years ago there was talk of doing something to temporarily put the unimproved dirt roads in repair and keep them in fairly navigable condition pending such time as funds were available to permanently improve them. Since that time three budgets have been made up and expended with no provision for work upon these dirt roads. An appropriation was passed two years ago for paving Washington avenue and extending the pavement on Chapel street, but the work has not yet been started. The unimproved dirt roads of the city could be put in passable condition at a comparatively small cost. The Portsmouth city manager reports that several miles of such streets in that city have been put in a satisfactory condition at an average cost of $60 a mile. Surely a progressive city like Norfolk will not longer defer a matter that means so much to the interests and welfare of such a large proportion of its population. It is not merely a matter of unjust taxation, but it imposes other hardships upon property owners, among which is the important question of fire insurance rates. Insurance companies are at present charging excessive an deven exhorbitant rates upon risks in certain sections of the city on account of the inaccessibility of the property to the fire depart- THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE There are men of influence in the munisers of Norfolk, who know of this injustice, have a sufficient sense of justice to use science for better conditions, but the initial it, it appears, must originate with those used. We believe that this is a propitious an intelligently organized movement for movement of the city's dirt roads. There are men of influence in the municipal affairs of Norfolk, who know of this injustice and who have a sufficient sense of justice to use their influence for better conditions, but the initial movement, it appears, must originate with those oppressed. We believe that this is a propitious time for an intelligently organized movement for the improvement of the city's dirt roads. WHEN IS AN ISSUE NOT AN ISSUE? Mr. Westmoreland Davis and Mr. John Pollard are incensed at each other being Pollard has declared that a vote for Mr. John Pollard is said some uncomplimentary things about him. Moreover, Mr. Davis asserts that John is no longer an issue in Virginia, it has legally banished by the people. But Pollard is making it an issue and a very effect, so far as his campaign is concerned, we ask the question: "When is an issue not made?" Experience teaches us that a politician cannot know the difference between a dead live issue, or else presumes upon the crest of the people. The average politician has any question which he can use to stipulations and passions of the people is a lie, whether it is dead or alive. For instance, the Negro has been out of the South for twenty years or more, he just as much an issue today as he was two years ago, because a skillful political campaign always arouse enthusiasm and draw in himself by discussing the Negro; it matters whether the aim of the discussion is to get politics or to keep him from getting in the same way with the saloon, where Mr. Negro is concerned. Mr. Davis is a victim of instances. His political adversary is my people believe that by opposing him the saloon from getting in, not trying it out. Mr. Westmoreland Davis and Mr. John Garland Pollard are incensed at each other because Mr. Pollard has declared that a vote for Mr. Davis is a vote for the open saloon, and Mr. Davis has in turn said some uncomplimentary things about Mr. Pollard. Moreover, Mr. Davis asserts that the saloon is no longer an issue in Virginia, it having been legally banished by the people. But Mr. Pollard is making it an issue and a very effective one so far as his campaign is concerned, which raises the question: "When is an issue not an issue." Experience teaches us that a politician does not know the difference between a dead issue and a live issue, or else presumes upon the credulity of the people. The average politician knows that any question which he can use to stir the emotions and passions of the people is a good issue, whether it is dead or alive. For instance, the Negro has been out of politics in the South for twenty years or more, but he is just as much an issue today as he was twenty years ago, because & skillful political campaigner ca nalways arouse enthusiasm and draw interest to himself by discussing the Negro; it matters not whether the aim of the discussion is to get him out of politics or to keep him from getting in. It is the same way with the saloon, where Mr. Pollard is concerned. Mr. Davis is a victim of circumstances. His political adversary is making the people believe that by opposing him he is keeping the saloon from getting in, not trying to get it out. THE VIRGINIA BAPTISTS The Virginia Baptist State Convention closed a very profitable and successful association in the city of Lynchburg. Over $1000 was laid upon the altar—money consisted by carnest colored people for the maintenance the educational and missionary work of the institution. The members were inspired and managed by the strong, high-toned and braveresses made to them by the mayor of the young man of the new school of Southern man; by the judge of the circuit court and the jury of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Virginia Baptist State Convention has just closed a very profitable and successful annual session in the city of Lynchburg. Over $13,000 in cash was laid upon the altar—money consecrated by earnest colored people for the maintenance of the educational and missionary work of the convention. The members were inspired and encouraged by the strong, high-toned and helpful addresses made to them by the mayor of the city, a young man of the new school of Southern statesmen; by the judge of the circuit court and the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. They brought greetings and assurances of good will and spoke words of encouragement that cheered the Baptists on in their effort to Christianize and enlighten the masses of the race and do their bit in conserving the spiritual and material powers of the nation in the present world crisis. THE REIGN OF DEMOCRACY "We have entered the war to make them free for democracy," says President Wilson, and people, who are the only Americans who enjoy the utmost benefits of real democracy, hailed with delight Mr. Wilson's declaration of the most optimistic ones professed by the President's words a vision of real democracy, world-wide and color blind, and Art should be indeed amply repaid for all the saudage it must be made on account of the war, if justice is concluded, a new era of social, political civil justice under real democracy down America and the world. It is almost too much to hope, however, with the banishment of kings and emperors will go hand in hand those other tribes and despots in America, caste and prejudice. "We have entered the war to make the world safe for democracy," says President Wilson. Colored people, who are the only Americans who do not enjoy the utmost benefits of real democracy, have hailed with delight Mr. Wilson's declaration. Some of the most optimistic ones profess to see in the President's words a vision of real democracy, world-wide and color blind, and America would be indeed amply repaid for all the sacrifices that must be made on account of the war, if, when peace is concluded, a new era of social, political and civil justice under real democracy dawned upon America and the world. It is almost too much to hope, however, that with the banishment of kings and emperors in Europe will go hand in hand those other tyrants and despots in America, caste and prejudice. THE REIGN OF TERROR There have been some conspicuous riots in United States during the past few weeks. First St. Louis, Mo., white people objected to the essence of black people in the community, and workmen in the industries and proceed violence to them. The United States government let the State and local authorities hand nation, in deference to States' rights., now were some riots in Arizona and Montana, two factions of white people, between farmers and mine workers. The workers say to do violence as they did in EastSt. Louis There have been some conspicuous riots in the United States during the past few weeks. In East St. Louis, Mo., white people objected to the presence of black people in the community and black workmen in the industries and proceeded to do violence to them. The United States government let the State and local authorities handle the situation, in deference to States' rights, no doubt. There were some riots in Arizona and Montana between two factions of white people, between mine owners and mine workers. The workers started out to do violence as they did in EastSt. Louis and the United States government promptly dispatched troops to handle the situation, States' rights to the contrary notwithstanding, with the result that there was little loss of life and destruction of property. Law and order triumphed in Arizona and Montana. Terror reigned in East St. Louis. I believe that for every well-trained, industrious, efficient, law-abiding, self-respecting Negro there is to be had somewhere a permanent position under desirable conditions — conditions under which such a Negro with his family can live, serve God, and develop in peace—George W. Blount. Commends The Journal and Guides Editor Journal and Guide, Sir:I heartily endorse the sentiments of Mr. Jones, your correspondent in our sister city as expressed in the Guide a few weeks ago. Equipped with unusual saneness of judgment, clearness of vision, and withal an optimism based upon sound thinking, The Journal and Guide is an able exponent of the best Negro sentiment and should be read by all the colored people for a development of a deeper racial consciousness, and by the whites for their enlightenment. I think the editorial on the East St. Louis riot deserves special commendation. You have judged the South discriminately as it should be-To commend the Elizabeth City Independent and the Dallns News, to argue with the Ledger-Dispatch, and to expose the fallacy of the Virginian Pilot with reference to their respective views regarding that most unfortunate affair was a patriotic duty resting upon you which was ably performed. Faithfully yours, H. W. MELVIN, Norfolk, Va., July 18, 1917. INTERBOROUGH CONTESTS Editor Journal and Guide: The fast growing popularity of my interborough contests makes demand for them at more frequent intervals. I shall hold an interborough oratorical contest here in Kinston, N. C., during the latter part of next month. It will be a double event—a contest between married persons, and one between unmarried persons, with a gold medal prize in each case. Intending contestants must write me at once at Kinston. A town or borough can have but one representative in each contest; where more than one express a desire to represent their town, I shall arrange a local primary contest to decide. The selections must be orations, not poetry. I'll have contests in poetry; also in music, etc., at other times. The very ready and hearty co-operation of leading citizens makes it easy for me to obtain judges from the most qualified and exclusive circles. I am ready to answer all inquiries made of me through the mail. ARRIVALS AT HOTEL DALE Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Walker, Mr. E. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. G.

Whether right or wrong in its domestic or its foreign policy, judged by whatever standard, whether of expediency or of principle, the American citizen can recognize no social duty intervening between himself and his country. He must urge reform; but he has no right to destroy. Intrusted with the precious inheritance of liberty, endowed with the gift of participation in a popular government, the constitution makes him at once the benefactor and the defender of interests and institutions he cannot innocently endanger, and when he becomes a traitor to his country he commits equal treason against mankind. - John Albion Andrew The Patriot. HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE There is no source from which so much danger comes as from the bites of animals. The freedom by which the human family comes in contact with the animals, and the easy and general distribution of its animals, makes exposure to wound from bites very available. The pet cat, the dog, the horse or any of the domestic stock, are liable at any time to betray the confidence of the owner and cause a break of friendship brought about by a bite of a more or less serious nature. It is of these simple and trifling wounds we wish to speak. Of all the animals that may do us harm, the dog seems to be the main one whose bite is more or less dangerous. Investigation and statistics have proved that he is responsible for most of our hydrophobia. He seems to be the greatest carrier of the organism or germ which is at the bottom of this disease. Care in protecting yourself from vicious dogs is the first means of reducing the number of cases of hydrophobia. Particularly is this true during the spring and summer months, in which the dogs wander most, and in which the human family moves about most freely. Children especially should be guarded, as this disease plays more destruction, at a shorter interval, with them than with adults. The cat like the dog sometimes will produce wounds by biting one which may develop conditions with equal serious proportions as the dog. The cat generally turns traitor to owner or someone else, when he is brought to a state of excitement or madness through being closed and teased. Being bitten when in this nervous condition means serious consequences at times. Sometimes fatal. Under ordinary circumstances the cat is very teachable and the human family enjoys great immunity from bites and DATES FOR LITTLE BAY BEACH. July 23—Colonial Social Club.

IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving memory of my dear son, Eugene Vernon Riddick, who died July 22nd, 1915. How we miss you Eugene darling, Nights seem long and days dreary Seems to me you must come back again. His loving Mother and family Mrs. Annie Davenport, died suddenly at her residence, 10 Handsom Ave., Norfolk, Monday morning, July 2. The funeral was held at the residence Wednesday, July 4, and was well attended. Rev. D. W. Harris officiated. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The remains were laid to rest in Calvary Cemetery. She leaves a husband, six children and other relatives to mourn their loss. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the many friends and neighbors for their kindness during the prolonged illness of our wife and mother, Mrs. Mary E. Washington, and for the beautiful floral designs at her death. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear daughter, Viola Purdy, who departed this life July 2nd, 1916, at the age of sixteen years. Faded away like stars in the morning Lost her bright life in the glorious sun, Thus did she pass from the earth and its tollings, Only remembered by what she has done. Lovingly, MOTHER. WANTED At once 100 young men for the Wood Cadet Military Company. Call at 786 Monticello Avenue, Norfolk, Va. PETER H. HARRIS IN MEMORIAM Mother sees you everywhere. I can see you Eugene darling, There among the angel's band Beckoning me to come up higher, Holding out your hand. OBITUARY CARD OF THANKS IN MEMORIAM That can never more be filled. WANTED July 21, 1917 wounds of this coveted house animal. But to be on the safe side remember that the cat is an animal and will bite to injure, when circumstances are favorable not withstanding his intelligence. The horse, man's friend, is often the source or cause of serious wounds. Sometimes they are produced through viciousness, and sometimes through carelessness of the caretaker. The habit of feeding horses with fruit and cakes directly from the hand is often attendant with risk of being bitten. The habit of examining the teeth of horses makes exposures more or less free with the unacquainted; drenching horses with medicines contribute to wounds of the hands and arms. All of which may be dangerous. There are other domestic and wild animals with which we may come in contact that may bite and cause wound infections of serious proportions. It matters not by what animal or kind of animal one sustains a wound through biting, the fact to be remembered is that in that little wound may lurk a germ that tends to play mischief sooner or later with the human species; that there may lurk fatal results or a loss of some member or organ of the human body. To avoid freedom from these wounds one has to be careful in his relationship to animals; carelessness with these creatures must be depreciated; overeating and overexciting animals must be discontinued; contact with dogs must be less frequent, and all dogs that go everywhere and at any time should be muzzled. But when one chances to be bitten by an animal, no delay should be entertained in seeing the physician. No matter how simple the wound may appear, consultation at once should be sought, so that proper anticeptic and curative measures may be inaugurated by the doctor as soon as possible, and curtail serious wounds, and insure health and safety.

July 21, 1917 RURAL SCHOOLS AND THEIR NEEDS Preparation For Country Life Presents Big Problem. DIVISION OF SCHOOL FUNDS Failure of the States to Make Adequate Provision For Agricultural Education Emphasized In Federal Bureau Report—Attitude of Educated Group of Colored People In Rural Subjects. In his report dealing with the facilities for education in the south among colored people Dr Thomas Jesse Jones of the federal bureau of education at Washington emphasizes the needs of the rural schools. He says: "According to the report of the state superintendent, the expenditures for white schools in Alabama increased tenfold between 1880 and 1910, while those for the Negro schools doubled. Similar expenditures in North Carolina increased eightfold for the white schools and threefold for the Negro schools. It is noteworthy that practically all these increases have taken place since 1000. In most of these improvements the city schools have been favored to the neglect of the rural schools both for white and colored pupils. "The following quotation, from the report of the North Carolina state superintendent of public instruction is significant: 'It will be observed that considerably more was spent on rural Negro schools in 1895 than in 1905. Suppose our white schools showed the same results for the past twenty years. Would we not be necessarily alarmed at that evidence of lack of progress?'" Dr. Jones lays great stress on the remarkable progress in agriculture made by the colored people of the south, where nearly 80 per cent of the Negroes live in rural communities. By 1910, the last available census, 893,370 Negroes owned their farms or cultivated land as tenants. This is an increase of 10.4 per cent over the figure for 1900. Of the total 218,972 were proprietors and 672,064 were tenants. "Preparation for rural life is the greatest educational problem of the white and colored people of the south. The rural education of the Negro is absolutely essential, not only to the welfare of the race, but also to the successful development of the southern states. Though rural opportunities are perhaps least appreciated by the educated group of colored people, they are those in which the Negroes are making their most remarkable gains. Rural life represents both the best progress and the greatest needs of the colored people. All plans for their improvement must give large consideration to the problems of rural life. "Important as this phase of education is both to the south and to the colored people, the public and private facilities provided are very inadequate. Other than the agricultural and mechanical schools, largely maintained by federal funds, the states make practically no provision for the agricultural education of Negroes. Of the private schools, Hampton institute, Tuskegee institute and a few smaller institutions, are making a genuine effort to prepare pupils for rural life. With very few exceptions, however, the colored schools have failed to develop an interest in rural problems. The large majority have not even tried. "The explanation of the indifference is in the conviction of the colored people that the way to prosperity and happiness is the study of literary subjects and especially the classical languages. In this they are following the example of the white people, who are only now beginning to see the error of their belief. This conviction is emphasized by the life of drudgery which the pupils in colored schools have always seen to be the lot of colored farmers. "A partial explanation for the failure of the schools lies in poorly prepared agricultural teachers who have themselves only a weak hearted belief in rural life. With inadequate training and a lukewarm interest in their subject these teachers have endeavored to make use of large farms in their educational efforts. Failure was inevitable. The emphatic conclusion of this study is, therefore, that the first step in rural education should be the enthusiastic advocacy of the theory and practice of gardening for every coloral pupil. "Along with this instruction in gardening for the elementary pupil manual training should be taught. In the teaching of both agriculture and trade to the beginners there is no need for an extensive farm and expensive shop equipment. What should be done is to teach the children how to do those simple things about their farms and houses which, if well done, will make their homes better and healthier in which to live. "If too big a school plant is attempted the cost of upkeep will use up money needed to get good teachers, and training on the farm or in the shops will lose its educational inspiration and become mere drudgery for both pupil and teacher. For the other children who decide to make farming their life work a two year course would be sufficient, and for those who would become managers of large farms or teachers of agriculture a four year course will cover all phases of the subject." PROGRESS AT TUSKEGEE SUMMER SCHOOL NOTED Hundreds of Teachers Are Diligently Applying Themselves to Study. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—The eighth annual session of the Tuskegee institute summer school for teachers closed the second week with an enrollment of 234. The indications are that this number will increase from week to week until the session closes on July 20. Vice Principal Warren Logan, in the absence of Dr. Moton, principal, welcomed the teachers at the opening general assembly June 11. Devotions are held at each of the assembly meetings, and a special musical program is always presented. Together with these, the teachers sing enthusiastically the old plantation melodies. Many of the leading educators and public men will address these meetings. Addresses have already been delivered by W. B. Riley, superintendent of schools, Macon county, Ala.; Dr. George E. Haynes, Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., and Hon. M. L Brittain, superintendent of education for the state of Georgia, and by members of the Tuskegee institute faculty. Mr. Riley paid a glowing tribute to the loyalty and faithfulness of the colored people. Dr. George E. Haynes' subject was "The Demand of the New Order." He said that the old order had changed and that the new order comes. It brings with it a new idea of the worth of the masses of men. He discussed the part the Negro is playing in the new order and said that the Negro needed now, most of all, in this economic and political change, organization based upon purpose and devotion. On Monday of the second week Clement Richardson, head of the division of English, spoke on "Reading." He showed the value of a knowledge of the meaning of words and their correct pronunciation, which will lead to a correct interpretation of the meaning of the author. On Tuesday occurred the second of the story telling hours. Type fairy stories were told by teachers from the children's house. These periods are attracting a great deal of attention. M. L. Brittain spoke on "The Making of a Citizen." He said that all children need to be taught the simple virtues—courage, obedience, honesty, politeness, courtesy. These make the good and valuable citizen. Habits are to be formed by the teachers. Form the habit of courage, obedience, courtesy. Mr. Brittain illustrated his subject with several interesting stories. He made a decided impression by his address. The Tuskegee Institute summer school offers to all ambitious teachers courses covering review and advanced literary subjects, professional subjects and industrial classes in manual training, domestic science, sewing, canning, agriculture and handicrafts. Certain courses are also offered for the extension of certificates of Alabama teachers. The teachers in attendance are attracting much valuable comment because of their earnestness and faithfulness. They begin work at 7 o'clock in the morning. The social features are not forgotten. On each Saturday evening a moving picture show is provided for the teachers. The visiting teachers will also give two entertainments. A "get acquainted" social was given at the end of the first week. TITUS TOWN (Mrs. A .O. Hollomon) Sunday was a busy day at Mt.

"I have used Chamberlain's Tablets and must say they are the best I have ever used for constipation and indigestion. My wife also used them for indigestion and they did her good," writes Eugene S. Knight, Wilmington, N. C. Chamberlain's Tablets are mild and gentle in their action. Give them a trial. You are certain to be pleased with the agreeable laxative effect which they produce.

Miller's gorgeous musical comedy, "Broadway Rastus" which has just finished a most successful run at the Lafayette, New York City's largest and best colored theatre. Mr. Miller is supported in the cast by Henry Jines, one of Norfolk's most popular favorites and a company of fifty select artists. The cast includes one of the finest beauty choruses ever seen with a musical comedy. The costumes are gorgerous and the music and lyrics which are furnished by Domer C. Brown are charming. Among the popular favorites in the cast areHerbert Benson, Leo Edwards, Pearl Roy, Frank Walker, C.H.Downs, Billy McCurver, Grace Johnson, Esther Bigeou, Fannie Whitman and Fred Hart. In this splendid offering the Palace patrons are certainly afforded an unusual opportunity of seeing one of the best shows with an all-star colred cast ever staged. AT THE PALACE when it comes to juggling, Edward Juggler, the fellow that opened the bill this week at the Palace certainly knows the game. He juggled everything from a ball to a oil lamp. Juggler can do more with a brick than a brick end and stick us if glued. What he did with the brick he did with everything else he tried. His performance was one of the best of its kind seen here. Tricky Smith was next. Although one of the best know comediennes in mauvidence, she was a juggler. Every one that has heard her sing knows that she has some voice, and of course she sang as usual "In My Home Town," "Alabama Bound," in Tricky's own wny, "Black B-l-a-c-k, Black," brough much applause. A ball was good and amusing, that fitted well was also used. She can come again and be well taken. If you know how to laugh and didn't laugh at McClenon and McClenon there must be something wrong or you weren't there. They don't say much about it, but nicely. McClenon is one of those born comedians that ever look funny and every time he opened his mouth it was a laugh. "Put a smile on your face," Miss McClenon was in a splendid condition. "They tell me that women are going to take the place of men—that's impossible" by McClenon was a scream and he had to sing it up. He had an original dance that caused an uprora and his jokes and monologues were all side splitters. The real class of the week was the well-known team of Fiddler and Shelton, the boys that are "suffocated with delightfulness," in one of the highest class acts in vaudeville—a musical comedy that he really grand. Shelton reread music that was posed by himself. This brought much applause. Fiddler, as an impersonator was very good. The facial expressions by the big fellow showed that he is a star and can make "some faces," Chinese, Japanese, Jew, German, and thruhair. Lightening, Thelore Rosewell, The Frederick Douglas and many others were shown, each of which was recognized and applauded. The singing of "Come Back," Most Precious Dollar Bill," "Stop Sleeping on the Pool Pile Green," set me Dream Once More and "Come Back," Most Precious Dollar Bill, Fiddler and Shelton were the big noise at the Palace and that the Palace patrons can no DATA PALACE THEATRE A big Musical Comedy, full of Mirth and Melody, with an all-star cast of select artists direct from the Lafayette Theatre, New York, where it made one of the biggist hits of the season featuring MATINEE Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Afternoons 2 o'clock sharp.

Archdeacon Russell's Letter Declining the Bishopric. The following is the letter of Archdeacon James S. Russell, D. D .in regard to his declination of the Suffragan-Bishopric of Arkansas: Rt. Rev. James R. Winchester, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas, Little Rock, Ark. My Dear Bishop Winchester: my Your letters under date of May 12th, May 18th, June 7th, June 10th and June 16th are all before me. These letters have received my most careful consideration, and notwithstanding my telegraphic message to you under date of June 16th, declining my election to the Suffragan-Bishopric of the diocese, I want to tell you how keenly I appreciate your letters and the many nice things you have written me of your opinion of my fitness and temperament for the special work to which your diocese has seen fit to call me. Words are utterly inadequate to express my gratitude and deep appreciation for your many offers of kindness. I have, from the time I received Archdeacon Johnson's telegram informing me of my election as Suffrugan-Bishop of the diocese of Arkansas, given this whole matter my most prayerful and serious consideration. Hence I assure you, that I have not hastily arrived at my decision. I have labored in this one field during my whole ministry of thirty-five years and three-months. Twenty-nine years of my ministry have been spent in building up the St. Paul Normal and Industrial School. This institution was founded on faith in God and the generosity of its friends; for at the time when the task was undertaken there was not a foot of ground nor a penny in sight for its support, yet through the providence of God the work has gone forward steadily each day from its founding, July 2, 1888, until now it is the largest institution of the Protestant Episcopal Church for the moral, spiritual, intellectual and industrial training of colored boys and girls; and visitors from the Slater General Education Board place it third in size of the great schools in the South for Negro education and training. From its very insignificant beginning, the school owns 1,600 acres of valuable land, over forty buildings, large and small, with a property value, according to the report of our auditors, the Jones Audit Company of New York City, of $272,873.62. This, of course, puts the school well beyond its experimental stage. Aside from the property value of the institution, there have come to us for the training of the head, the hand and the heart, pretty close to five thousand boys and girls, and nearly one-fifth of these have completed their education in books and some useful trades an dare now devoting their lives to the uplift of their less fortunate brethren. These are the school's living epistles, ministers and messengers, known and read by the thousands with whom they come in contact. Among this great army of workers are nearly twenty of the very successful clergymen in our Church. Now, my dear Bishop, I have cited the above simply to give you some further idea of the many ties which bind me so closely to the work which has claimed the best and largest number of the years of my life. Then, too, my friends of both races are here by the thousands, and while they have not directly persuaded me not to leave St. Paul's, they have advanced almost every conceivable reason why I should remain. The relations between the races are nowhere I think, so cordial as here in Brunswick County, just thirty miles from my birthplace. Apart from the educational work to which I have referred, I should mention the further fact that I have had the pleasure of seeing the Church work among my people grow from one congregation and less than two hun- THE MODEL 8 TYPE MACHINE REVENING CO., INC., 711-7 Without leaving his and six faces of typeation of this modern department 100 per co.

These ties are very close and my heart is bound up with them and my friends, of both races, whom I know and love most dearly. Notwithstanding all of the above, which in no sense is simple sentimentalism, I have tried very hard not to be swayed by my friends, my family, nor even my love for the great work which has grown up under my eyes, but to be guided by the Spirit of the Master in my final decision in response to the action of your Diocesan Council in electing me to the Sufragan-Bishopric of the diocese of Arkansas. I am sorry, finally, that I could not see my way clear to accept the gracious call from your diocese, to serve my people in the great Southwest. I pray that God may raise up the right man to carry forward this work among my brethren in your diocese. Again thanking you and your Council from the depth of my heart for the honor that you and they have conferred upon me. Believe me, my dear Bishop, Your humble and most grateful servant, JAMES S.

IN MEMORIAM In fond rememberance of our devoted husband and father, Jordan Calvin Mosely, who departed this life Wednesday, July 21, 1915. "God has His plans and what if we With our sight be too blind to see Their full fruition; cannot He, Who made it, solve the mystery? One whom He loved has fallen asleep, Not died; altho' his calm be deep, Some new, unknown, and strange surprise In heaven holds enrapt his eyes." Mrs. Mamie E. Moseley and children, Ernest H. Mosely, Mabel A. Moseley, Lillian M. Venable, Marguerite E. Mosely.
