Guide Quality PRINTING Brings Results Virginia State Business League Holds Interesting Sessions In Newport News. PRES. CROCKER PRESIDES. Enthusiastic Discussion of All Subjects Followed Opening of the (Staff Correspondence) Newport News, Va., July 26. The third annual session of the Virginia State Negro Business League convened in the city yesterday at three p. m., at the Y. M. C.A. Building the corner of Madison avenue and Twenty-third street. The sessions so far have eclipsed those of all previous meetings in attendance, interest and enthusiasm. As to entertainment of the League Newport News will take the banner. Col. Col. R. T. Stewart, vice president of the Crown Savings Bank is chairman of the entertainment committee and no efforts are being spared for the pleasure and comfort of those attending the League. One of the main features of the League's entertainment is a trolley ride to Bay Shore, which take place this afternoon, afterwhich a luncheon will be served the delegates attending the convention. President W. H. Crocker of Suffolk was present and presided at all of the sessions while Mr. J. T. P. Cross the executive secretary was on hand to look after the registration etc. In the absence of Mr. R. E. Saunders, the assistant secretary who was not present, Mr. Mason, superintendent of the Southern Aid Society in Newport News acted in his stead Much enthusiasm was aroused in the discussions at the opening session. Theory as well as practice in business was the keynote of some of the addresses delivered. Stress was laid upon the importance of preparing young men and women of the race to fill clerical and executive positions in the numerous and fast developing enterprises now conducted and being established by members of the race. It was brought out that the scarcity of efficient and competent labor makes it almost an impossibility for the Negro to conduct big business. From the statements of some of the delegates it would be presumed that it is easier to get capital upon which to operate than to get competent help. From some of the expressions at the meeting it appears that regardless of this, Negroes in the State are making progress along all business lines in which they are engaged. Mr. Merritt Gray of Smithfield opened with a very interesting discussion of "How to Make the Oyster Industry Pay." Mr. J. E. Hubbard, one of Newport News' youngest but most progressive real estate brokers, in his discussion of "How to Promote Home Building" showed that he is thoroughly familiar with that phase of his business. H. C. Young of Norfolk, chairman of the League Publication Committee spoke on the League Bulletin. The other speakers of the occasion were Prof. J. S. Lee Prof. D. G. Jacox of Norfolk, Attorney Parker of this city, T. Tanner and C. H. Oliver of Norfolk, Dr. M. E. Davis, Richmond and Dr. Barlowe druggist. The principal feature of the night session were the addresses of Pres. Crocker, Dr. W. F. Graham and Col. Matt N. Lewis. President Crocker appended for a closer co-operation of colored business men and women and a stronger race loyalty among all classes. Mentioning the burdens which the race in the country are forced to bear he said there is a great need of offensive action against the many discriminatory measures that are so much a handicap and embarrassment to the race as a whole. That there is too much laxity, bordering on cowardice on the part of leaders with reference to persecution and discrimination against the race is his opinion. At the ten o'clock session to be held in the Y. M. C. A. Building this a. m. some of the speakers are Secretary Williams of the Y. M. C. A. R. C. Harris, Petersburg, J. T. Tanner Norfolk, J. E. Jones, cashier Mutual Savings Bank, Portsmouth, Attorney W. M. Reid, Portsmouth, M. C. Clark, Newport News, F. W. Munford, Richmond. The Journal and Guide B. L.

Baltimore, Md.—The biggest rally ever held in a local colored church was pulled off at Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday night, when over $4,300 was handed in. The rally was arranged by the pastor, Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, and it was Tuesday morning before all the money was in. Additional reports are to be made this Sunday, and it is believed that $5,000 will be reached. Attracted by the reputation of Dr. Brooks as a money raiser, he having secured over $7,500 in one effort in St. Louis, a big crowd was on hand. For the purposes of the rally the workers had been divided into "annual conferences," each of which was presided over by a "bishop." Thousand-dollar Conferences," headed by John Williams, reported the largest amount, over $600. Bethel Church is said to have the largest debt of any colored congregation in the country. Percy T. Borron, prominent in fraternal circles, died here a few days ago. For more than twenty years he has bee ncmployed aevere__shrdllrdd has been an employee of the Afro-American. Bishop John Hurst, who was taken ill at Wilberforce, O., several weeks ago is improving rapidly at his home, 1808 McCalloh street.

NORFOLK, VA., JULY 28, 1917 LAYMEN'S MEETING IN WINSTON-SALEM Attendance At Opening Session Of Convention Broke the World's Record MORE THAN 5000 PRESENT North Carolina Pythians Re-elect Dr. J. W. Jones As Their Grand Chancellor (By A. M. Vann) Winston-Salem, N. C.—The Laymen's Missionary Meeting held here this week has broken the record of all meetings held in the United States, Secretary Lewis declares. The largest registration in the history of the movement is the record of Winston-Salem. The different churches united solidly, which made this meeting the greatest ever held. Great speeches were delivered by Drs. E. M. Brawley, Durham, C. S. Brown, Winton, J. N. C. Coggins, Washington, D. C., J. T. Henderson, Knoxville, Tenn., Bishop Geo. W. Clinton, Charlotte; Bishop W.R. Lambert, Winston; Dr. C. S. Morris, Norfolk, Va., D. Clay Lilly, Winston; J. A. Cotton, Henderson. The meeting in every way was a success. The N. C. K. of P. has just closed their 12th annual session here. The next session will be held in Wilson, N. C. The finance committee gave its report which showed the order to be in grand condition. The total receipts showed over $34,000, with a balance in hand of $10,000. The election seemed to have been of great interest with Dr. J. W. Jones, incumbent, and W. S. Scales running for Grand Chancellor. Great and enthusiastic speeches were made in behalf of Dr. Jones and Mr. Scales. The votes were 119 to 77 in favor of Dr. Jones. The remaining officers were unanimously elected as follows: Vice Grand Chancellor, F. C. Hester; Grand Master of Works, Rev. W. G. Avant; Grand Prelate, J. A. Bonner; Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, W. B. Windsor; Grand Master of Ex-chequer, Dr. G. W. Adams. TIDEWATER HOSPITAL AUXILIARY. A call meeting of the Tidewater Hospital Auxiliary will be held on Thursday evening, August 7th at the Y. M. C. A. Rooms, at 6:30 p. m. MEETING OF CLUB Addresses By Club Representatives From Many States On Race Uplift. Hampton, Va.—The program rendered in Cleveland Hall Chapel on the evening of the 10th, was said to have been one of the best of the programs rendered during the summer school. Mrs. A. B. Norcum, chairman of the Ways and Means committee of the Virginia Federation, who presided deserves much credit for the success of the entertainment. Representative club women from many states delivered short addresses. These addresses were wonderfully illuminating in regard to what our women are doing all over the country for race uplift. DEVELOPMENT OF NORFOLK HOSPITAL Institution By Service Has Demonstrated Its Worth to Community. PASSED EXPERIMENT AGE Now It Needs Only the Moral And Financial Support Of The People It Serves The Tidewater Hospital has won the esteem and patronage of the people in this community in a remarkable degree. The work of the institution has been above the average and the results have been good. Operation sof various kinds are performed at the hospital every week with splendid success. And the hospital is gaining new friends right along. At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees, Dr. D. W. Byrd, one of Norfolk's most prominent physicians and President of the National Medical Association was elected chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Byrd is well and favorably known throughout the community and is very much interested in the success of the hospital. He has made several personal donations to the hospital, and now being at the head of the financial department of the hospital it will assure a greater public interest in the financial welfare of the institution. The other members of the committee are Rev. J. A. Handy, who is well known in the business life of Norfolk and Mr. C. H. Oliver, whose business relations and business integrity need no comment. The Hospital Association is real fortunate in having on its Board of Trustees such men as Drs. Byrd, Matthews, Trigg, Webb, Moone, Drake, Dr. Handy, Mr. C. H. Oliver, and Mr.' P. B. Young. All are men who stand high in the professional and business life of the community. Plans are being made for the paying off of the bonded indebtedness of the hospital in order to secure more very much needed room and in the near future these plans will be matured and the public will be asked to contribute to the fund for this purpose. A detailed statement of the work of the hospital is in course of preparation and as soon as it is completed a copy will be placed in the hands of every one, so that everybody may know just what has been accomplished in the past two and a half years by one of the most successful colored hospitals in the South. ORGANIZED LABOR Birmingham, Ala.—The fact that union leaders in Birmingham were moving heaven and earth to organize the Negro workers in the steel and iron and coal mines in this district while they were counseling the white laborers to murder Negro laborers in other sections of the country led Dr. A. C. Williams during his sermon Sunday at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church to advise strongly against affiliation with the labor unions. "There is nothing for the Negro in white labor unions," said Dr. Williams. Continuing, he said: "In its province the white labor union is inimical to the Negro laborer. We have our problems which we must work out for ourselves and by ourselves. If the Negro laborer must organize, let him organize himself, and then not to antagonize capital, but to work out his own peculiar problems, to promote efficiency, and to secure more benefits for himself and his family through co-operation and sympathy of the employer. "The Negro will never gain anything through the white labor union. He will soon find that in them he can go so far and no further. If the Negro must organize, let the organization be purely a Negro one, officered by Negroes and working only to promote the Negro's efficiency and welfare. Every Negro endeavor should be centralized and the time will come when it will be, but it must be through a leadership that in one community stands the Negro and not through a courts him and in another counsels his murder. The Negro will never accomplish much trying to follow a leadership that he neither loves nor respects, and in which he has no confidence. Under the nature of things there is nothing in common between the Negro laborer and the white Union leaders." SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES State Teachers At A. and T. College Witness Drama By Mrs. Dudley. Greensboro, N. C.—The session of the A. & T. College summer school ends with examinations in the various courses on July 26-27. The present session has brought to Greensboro a more determined body of students than any former session. Despite the many causes that have kept many teachers from attending, the enrollment compares most favorably with that of last year and surpasses a number of previous years. During the past week seventy students have come to the College for the teachers' institute. Most of these are the city school teachers of Greensboro and the rural teachers of Guilford and adjoining counties. Many special conferences and lectures have already been given pertaining to the problems of teaching. Featuring among them was a series of lectures on the state's new school law by Superintendent Foust, of this county. The leading entertainment of the past week was a play entitled "Patriots Day," written by Mrs. James B. Dudley, wife of the President, and presented before the summer school teachers by the children of the Dudley Academic and Kindergarten School. The outlook for a large attendance at the college another year is also encouraging. Most of the old students have filed applications for re-admittance as well as a number of new ones. Students have never attended the regular session will do well to write President Dudley for further information. RESOLUTIONS.—NORFOLK SUMMER SCHOOL. The Norfolk Summer School has been the agency of much incentive and direct benefit to all who have in any way come under its benign influences, whether scholastic or social. The State Department of Education, the School Boards of Norfolk County and City, the inspector of colored schools and all others who have contributed in any measure to making it possible to have this school here are deserving of credit and encomium. The business manager has subjected himself to much favorable comment because of the business-like and diplomatic way with which he has managed the boarding arrangements in these terrible times of household economics. The people of Norfolk have given the summer school a hearty reception. Therefore, we, the instructors and student teachers in the auditorium assembled, upon this seventh day of July 1917, wishing to acknowledge in a formal way our sincere appreciation of the foregoing benefits, do place ourselves upon record as follows: Be it Resolved, That; we, the above named recipients, do, without any reservation express to the fullest extent of our ability our deep and unfeigned appreciation and gratitude to the state and city officials, to the church, school and social workers, and in the most tender way, do we acknowledge our delectableness to those who ministered to our finer sensibilities by the redefinition of delightful programs and festive entertainment. Since we are desirous of recognizing every source of comfort and pleasure, be it Resolved, That, we herein tender our thanks to the custodian who has so faithfully performed his duties. Be it further* Resolved, That, a publication of these resolutions appear in the newspapers of Norfolk. The fact that our conductor, Prof. T. C. Erwin's participation in the resolutions prohibits, to some extent, the other members of the school from a more formal expression of their appreciation of his masterful skill in despatch and promptness of business and of his unchallenged consideration of and kindness to others.

SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS On Page 2 PRICE: FIVE CENTS RACE LEADERS IN THE MAKING Training Camp At Des Moines Has More Than Military MEN ARE TRAINED TO LEAD War Training Will Count When Officers Return to Des Moines, Ia.—"Uncle Sam's greatest experiment in the race problem," is the characterization given of Col. C. C. Ballou, commandant of the Negro reserve officers' training camp at Ft. Des Moines, to the effort being made here to fit Negroes from all over the United States for leadership of their own race. More than 1200 Negroes have been in training here for more than one month, under exactly the same conditions as white young men are being trained in other camps of the country for commissions in the coming national army. It is planned to officer the Negro regiments to be raised under the selective draft largely with men trained here. The regiments are to be given white colonels and majors, but the captains and other commissioned officers of lower rank are to be Negroes. "The work here is more than an effort to train Negro officers," says Colonel Ballou. "It is a wonderful experiment in determining whether or not the Negro possesses qualities which fit him to lead his own race in upward progress. "While we are training these men for military leadership, this training will be equally valuable in civil life, and it is my belief that some of the men who are being instructed here will become among the most prominent workers in Negro welfare work that the country has ever had." The men here were selected upon a basis of personal merit from Negroes in almost every state in the Union. Some 200 of the men were picked from the regular army regiments and most of these men already have shown their ability as leaders and are holding the higher ranks in the companies for training purposes. fccersmisupb shrdletahmftahdhrdrdd The Negro troopers have created no trouble in Des Moines, and, aside from one or two minor difficulties due to efforts at segregation by local theater men, there has been no race feeling over the camp. Practically every profession is represented among the men here. There are architects, lawyers, engineers, college professors, editors and physicians, and college graduates predominate. Nine of the men hold Harvard University degrees. According to Col. Ballou the civilian recruits show remarkable ability to acquire military knowledge and work even more diligently than the average white recruit of the same class. The Negroes are intensely in earnest, and there have been practically no violation of camp discipline. HENDERSON NEWS (By T. R. Enton) Services were conducted at the A.M. E. Church on last Sunday and were well attended. The Annual Baptist Choir Rally was held at Spring street Baptist Church on Sunday, and was attended by an enormous crowd. Mrs. Lucy Hicks, one of the well known Christian women of this community died suddenly on Friday night, July 20th. The funeral services were conducted at the First Baptist Church on Sunday by the new Bethel pastor. Among the recent visitors to our city were Mr. L. B. Russell of Manson, N. C., and Rev. Dr. DeLaney of Raleigh, N. C. The Home Mission sisters rally was held at St. James Baptist Church on Sunday last. The meeting was a success. The Journal and Guide Late.

Wilson and Misses Ora Churchill and Ida Fisher are all in attendance upon the District Conference and Sunday School Institute, which are in session at Smithfield, this week, under the direction of Rev. L. L. Berry, Presiding Elder. They expect to return in time for next Sabbath services. Sunday, July 29th, the second quarterly meeting of this conference year will be held at Emanuel. At the morning hour the sermon will be delivered by Dr. Berry, the eloquent presiding elder of the Portsmouth district. The quarterly love feast will be held at 3:30 p. m. These meetings are always characterized by high spiritual fervor, and the pastor and membership are praying and looking for an increase, both in attendance and blessings. Every member should secure the love feast ticket in advance. At night a special program, very attractive and unique in character will be presented, in commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the Christian Recorder, the oldest Negro paper in existence. The choir will render special music, including a solo by Madam Annie Baker Fisher. Addresses and papers will be delivered, portraying the progress and claims of Negro journalism in general, and the history of the Christian Recorder, and A. M. E. Book Concern in particular, by persons fully prepared to instruct and entertain. Among them are Messrs. W. M. Reid, J. S. Jones, Dr. L. L. Berry, Mrs. L. Tatum, Miss Lucrece G. Jordan, Miss Sylvia Blake. Opportunity will also be given to assist in freeing the Book Concern of debt. Tuesday night, July 31st, the second quarterly conference will be held, to be followed by a church conference of great importance.

Among the many newly installed en- terprises 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 populari- ty as soon as placed upon the market, which is not a surprise, since it has proven to be such a delicious and re- freshing 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” oY narcotics. Quite a sum of money, time and study have been spent with the desire to produce the most whole- some 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.

Some time ago, war was not so close to us as it now is. Jackson was asking Congress to give him a million dollars to start a military school to trained officers. For some reason which he had explained this proposition failed to get the result that did not discourage him. A lobbyist are something to lobby, so the colonel hasgress another little matter for its concern. He asks Congress to establish a "bush economics," the function of which will be used to Negro migration and keep the New South, where the colonel says he should Congress through any lapse of the security grant his request, President Wilson seems some of the errors of policy that must be mentioned here by appointing Richmond's irrritant native son to the position of director of new portfolio. RICHMOND'S IRREPRESSIBLE NATIVE SON No wand then Col. Giles B. Jackson gets his name in the papers. The colonel is so well known that we will get right down to details without introducing him; to undertake it would be superfluous. During Mr. Wilson's administration Col. Jackson has been campaigning in Washington. His occupation there does not have anything to do with running the government, though we are surprised that he has not been put on the payrolls. In Washington vernacular the colonel is a lobbyist. He frames up big impossibilities, or improbabilities at least, and submits them to Congress through Senator Martin or one of his understudys. His propositions manage to get as far as the committee room pigeon-holes and the colonel gets his name in the daily papers, which is right much of an achievement considering the big things that are happening over the world and crowding each other for space in the papers. Some time ago, when the war was not so close to us as it now is, Col. Jackson was asking Congress to give him a half-million dollars to start a military school to train colored officers. For some reason which he has not explained this proposition failed to get through, but that did not discourage him. A lobbyist has to have something to lobby, so the colonel has handed Congress another little matter for its consideration. He asks Congress to establish a "bureau of economics," the function of which will be to put an end to Negro migration and keep the Negro in the South, where the colonel says he belongs. Should Congress through any lapse of mental clarity grant his request, President Wilson could redeem some of the errors of policy that need no mention here by appointing Richmond's irrepressible native son to the position of director of the new portfolio. IT ALL DEPENDS When we ask the city for some money, we love the dirt roads of Huntersville, Babou, Hiddenwood, Lamberts Point, Berkley and other urban communities under the city gant, we are told very earnestly and emphatically that the city has no money. A few days ago the Board of Aldermen agreed with the Common Council in approving 10,000 for the reconstruction of a road between Pine Beach, in Norfolk City, either Lochaven nor Pine Beach, nor the very contiguous to the road in question, passes to Norfolk City. The new naval baser, is at the Pine Beach end of the road, replains the $40,000.00. It appears that depends on who wants the money, as to whether the city has any or not. When we ask the city for some money to improve the dirt roads of Huntersville, Baboursville, Lindenwood, Lamberts Point, Berkley and some other urban communities under the city government, we are told very earnestly and emphatically that the city has no money. A few days ago the Board of Aldermen concurred with the Common Council in appropriating $40,000 for the reconstruction of a road from Lochhaven to Pine Beach, in Norfolk County. Neither Lochaven nor Pine Beach, nor the territory contiguous to the road in question, pays any taxes to Norfolk City. The new naval base, however, is at the Pine Beach end of the road, which explains the $40,000.00. It appears that it all depends on who wants the money, as to whether the city has any or not.

It was the occasion for the coming together of many of our business men of the State for the discussion of various topics relating to the business growth and development of the race. It is inspiring, and an unmistakable evidence of progress to witness a gathering of colored men engaged in the discussion of banking, insurance, real estate, printing and publishing, building operations, merchandising, etc., and each subject being handled in a most intelligent and informing manner by men who are succeeding in their particular lines of business.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE MORE LIGHT ON A DARK SUBJECT The East St. Louis race riot has been the result for some very frank and significant incidents in the Southern press upon race relations in the South. It i every satisfying to observe, the same parts of the South at least, white people beginning to see the Negro's problems from the South's viewpoint. Adjustment along right line only come when men are able to see both sides of the question. In a recent issue we quoted the Dallas (Texas) News to the effect that "The Negroes in South are not seeking social equality. They however, crave a large opportunity for education, economic and social progress then they employ it is the denial of this which makes so many men yield to the lure of the North." Another paper, the "Houston Post," takes practice in some stand, setting forth very clearly the reasons from which Southern Negroes, wish to gain cities and rural communities. It says: In the towns and cities the Negroes are dissatisfied with their living conditions. They are not disturbed by politics or social equality, but the insatiable stings amid which circumstances compel them, are unsatisfactory, and the white people owe their own welfare to improve those conditions. Even worse conditions obtain on many of the places, an daddie do all the drawbacks common in towns and cities is the other fact that the rural tools for Negro children, where they exist at a joke. Another cause of Negro discontent lies in the wild prevalent and largely justified belief among the Negroes that there is one law for the white man and another for the Negro. The instances in the words of the State which prove, this to be true and numerous to be recited here. There is only one assertion in the "Post" statement which seems to need correction, which is that the Negroes are "not disturbed and dissected." It is true that Southern Negroes have studied philosophically the new reconstructed political lines in the South, but at the same time they are grievously disappointed with the been grievously wronged by the white environment. Negroes in the South may not be disturbed about politics but they are very much cared and oppressed by politics as manipulate the governing class. The insanitary surroun in the towns, worse conditions on the far rural schools and unequal administration laws referred to by the "Post" are the sixth of the political system in which they have no voice. The assertion that Negroes are dissatisfied with their living conditions also needs emphatic Take any Southern town or city as an example. Most everything that is undesirable will not be tolerated elsewhere is crowd the Negro section. When every other section of Norfolk protested against the location in it of the municipal hospital for the deterntagious diseases, it was located in the local Negro residential section and nobody related about it. It has been estimated that a full survey that the city levies taxes in ex-5,000 annually upon the property holding in Monroe Ward, still it is a matter that during the years that this property been taxed by the city not a single street paved, graded, curbed, cleaned or otherwise moved. The living conditions surround Negroes in the South afford an ample subject study and reflection of those seeking real discontent and scarcity of the present society. The East St. Louis race riot has been the occasion for somevery frank and significant expressions in the Southern press upon race relations in the South. Jt i svery satisfying to observe, that in some parts of the South at least, white people re beginning to see the Negro's problems from the Negro's viewpoint.

Another Texas paper, the "Houston Post," takes practically the same stand, setting forth very clearly the conditions from which Southern Negroes wish to escape in cities and rural communities. It says: In the towns and cities the Negroes are dissatisfied with their living conditions. They are not disturbed about politics or social equality, but the insinatory roundings amid which circumstances compel them to exist are unsatisfactory, and the white people owe it to their own welfare to improve those conditions. Even worse conditions obtain on many of the plantations, an daddie do all the drawbacks common to the towns and cities is the other fact that the rural schools for Negro children, where they exist at all, are a joke. Another cause of Negro discontent lies in the widely prevalent and largely justified belief among the Negroes that there is one law for the white man and another for the Negro. The instances in the court records of the State which prove, this to be true are too numerous to be recited here. There is only one assertion in the "Post's" statement which seems to need correction, and that is that the Negroes are "not disturbed about politics." It is true that Southern Negroes have accepted philosophically the new reconstruction along political lines in the South, but at the same time they are grievously disappointed with and have been grievously wronged by the white man's government. Negroes in the South may not be disturbed about politics but they are very much hindered and oppressed by politics as manipulated by the governing class. The insanitary surroundings in the towns, worse conditions on the farms, poor rural schools and unequal administration of the laws referred to by the "Post" are the outgrowth of the political system in which the Negroes have no voice. The assertion that Negroes are dissatisfied with their living conditions also needs emphasizing. Take any Southern town or city as an example. Most everything that is undesirable and that will not be tolerated elsewhere is crowded into the Negro section. When every other section of Norfolk protested against the location in its midst of the municipal hospital for the detention of contagious diseases, it was located in the heart of the Negro residential section and nobody was consulted about it. It has been estimated by a careful survey that the city levies taxes in excess of $35,000 annually upon the property holdings of Negroes in Monroe Ward, still it is a matter of record that during the years that this property has been taxed by the city not a single street has been paved, graded, curbed, cleaned or otherwise improved. The living conditions surrounding Negroes in the South afford an ample subject for the study and reflection of those seeking reasons for discontent and scarcity of the present labor supply. HITTING THE NAIL ON THE HEAD We have had many opinions on the cause Negro Exodus and many remedies have been tested for stopping it. Those who have the exodus have about reached the conclusion that it is not going to be stopped, for the least. But speaking of causes of the following statement by Mr. Taylor, formerly managing editor of the Mont Advertiser, strikes us as being a true and the situation, and especially significant ones from a Southern man. Mr. Kennerly is the whole economic, commercial, educational attitude which the white man has assuaged still assumes, toward the Negro is wrong, while the white man has robbed the Negroions of dollars through keeping the black ignorance, he has also lost billions through the method, and will continue to do so until self changes these deplorable conditions—ions which should not be tolerated in any community." Mr. Kennerly might be it a little stronger, but it is strong enough. We have had many opinions on the causes of the Negro Exodus and many remedies have been suggested for stopping it. Those who have studied the exodus have about reached the conclusion that it is not going to be stopped, for the present at least. But speaking of causes of the exodus, the following statement by Mr. Taylor Kennedy, formerly managing editor of the Montgomery Advertiser, strikes us as being a true analysis of the situation, and especially significant as it comes from a Southern man. Mr. Kennedy said: "The whole economic, commercial, educational and moral attitude which the white man has assumed, and still assumes, toward the Negro is wrong; and that while the white man has robbed the Negro of millions of dollars through keeping the black man in ignorance, he has also lost billions through the same method, and will continue to do so until he himself changes these deplorable conditions—conditions which should not be tolerated in any civilized community." Mr. Kennedy might have made it a little stronger, but it is strong enough. .

It is easier to get capital than efficient help. —George W. Blount. Mr. Editor:— Forty-nine years ago I began growing tobacco. A few years later I decided that there were certain day better than others on which to cut tobacco for it to cure up nicely and have a rich, "waxy" and heavy body. To find out the way to tell these dates, and to tell them ahead has been a hard job, but I was finally successful. To explain, let me say that tobacco has an oily substance, which is its natural possession. It has a sap (water) like other vegetation. When the sap rises it runs the oil out through the pores of the leaves, on the principle that oil and water won't mix, and the oil being the lighter, is pushed out of the sap. Tobacco cut in this state will be light and "chaffy." You see there is nothing but sap in the tobacco, and when cured this sap is gone. It evaporates and leaves the tobacco light and worthless. But to cut tobacco when the sap is down and the oil has full sway, you can cure it up nicely and with a heavy body; it will be rich and "waxy." This happens because the tobacco is full of oil instead of sap, and the oil can't evaporate an dremains in the tobacco to make it rich and heavy. It has been my experience that we must cut tobacco when there is oil in it if we expect to have oil in it when cured. For instance, you have experienced cutting one week and having excellent luck, and then cut a few days later, probably off the same piece of ground, and with riper tobacco, and have no luck at all. I shall be pleased to answer any correspondent who may want to write me, provided postage is sent for reply. Yours truly. ROANOKE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B. Y. P. U.

COLORED SCHOOLS IN VIRGINIA Public and private schools for Negroes in Virginia are described in the report on "Negro Education," just issued by the U. S. Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, Washington, and in a special abstract for the State. For each school the following information is given: Location of school; name of principal; character of work; ownership and control; attendance; teachers; financial condition. The descriptive sketch of the more important schools is followed by specific recommendation looking to the future development of the school. The facts for the individual schools were obtained by a field study of Virginia and the other Southern States covering a period of nearly three years. Besides listing the private and higher schools for Negroes in Virginia and other Southern.States, this Federal report on colored schools analyzes the provision for education by the States; discusses means and methods of education for Negroes; describes building and equipment for typical schools, and attempts to give specific aid to the public and private authorities interested in Negro education. The problem D. V. DAVIS Fork, N. C HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE As warm weather begins to put in its appearance, there is an increase in desire for cold or iced drinks of every description. These are sought for by most people, and every means is employed to procure that sort which suits the individual taste. In this practice, the average man's chief interest in centered in the comfort derived from them, which as a rule is on and wholesome. But there is an element of discomfort in each cold drink, when persisted in to a great extent, to which very few pay much attention. When one has exerted himself to such a degree that thirst becomes an uncontrollable feeling, it is always a gratifying thought to be in position to get something to relieve that want, and that too, something which is very cold so that one may imagine, at least, immediate results which appear beneficial, but which are to the contrary detrimental. When the body heat is raised to a very high pitch from exertion, it is against the health to insinate upon the body by causing sudden changes, and rapid dropping off of the temperature by cold drinks. The reaction is one which paralyzes the normal functions of the body. The nervous, muscular and circulatory systems are very much intimidated, and the function of all organs that are influenced by the cold drinks are readily impaired. We admit that the comfort and good feeling experienced from such drinks, is satisfactory, but the end results from re before the colored schools of Virginia is indicated by the fact that illiterates are still 30 per cent of the colored people 10 years of age and over, and 10 per cent of the children 10 to 14 years of age. The Virginia section of the report shows that there are, according to the Census figures, 671,096 colored people in Virginia, forming 33 per cent of the total population. It is pointed out that 34 per cent of all persons engaged in agricultural pursuits in the State are colored, and that the number of farms cultivated by Negroes increased more than 7 per cent between 1900 and 1910. As farmers renting and owning land, they have charge of more than two million acres of Virginia soil, and, if their work as farm laborers be taken into account, they undoubtedly cultivate a far larger area. The report therefore emphasizes the need of agricultural and industrial education, pointing out that public facilities for this type of education are still practically negligible, and, while few of the private schools are rendering effective service, they are for the most part unable to meet the State-wide needs. Public provision for colored and white children in Virginia is compared on the basis of the amount expended for teachers' salaries and the number of children of school age. "The public school teachers of Virginia received $3,188,746 in salaries in 1911-12," says the report. "Of this sum $2,767,365 was for the teachers of 286,977 white children and $121,381 for the teachers of 153,827 colored children. On a per capita basis this is $9.64 for each white child of school age and $2.74 for each colored child." The inequalities between figures for white children and those for colored children are greatest in counties where the proportion of Negroes in the total population is largest. Private schools for colored pupils in report. They have a property valuation of $6,234,321, an annual income of $536,187, and an attendance of 6,368 pupils, of whom 4,995 are in elementary grades. Only 26 of the 55 schools play any important part in the educational activities of the State. It is pointed out that a few of the remaining schools my be justified on denominational grounds; the majority, however, are so hampered by small income or poor management that the State receives little benefit from them The most urgent need of the colored schools in Virginia is trained teachers. The report declares: "The supply pow depends almost entirely upon the secondary schools, most of which are private institutions. Twelve of these schools offer fairly good courses in teacher-training. Four others include one or two teacher-training subjects in the general course. The pupils in the graduating classes of all schools offering teacher-training number only about 550, an annual output obviously inadequate to meet the need for teachers in a State with over 670,000 color- ```markdown ``` ICED DRINKS July 28, 1917. action are flighty, and serve no helpful part to the organism. There are many cold drinks on the market to-day, that can be had in every locality, and which are used quite frequently by everybody. Prohibition has caused many new and fascinating ones to be produced. And the trade keeps them in such a condition to create patronage. And this one condition is to keep them very cold. Here is where the injury is done the one who indulges frequently with these different drinks. The effect of the cold upon the internal organs is injurious. Occasionally drinking when the body heat is somewhere around normal, is not so bad and one may take such a drink with impunity. But to drink too often and such large quantities at once is against health. Particularly is this true, and should be guarded against in their use by the young folks, whose physical constitution is much less able to resist the reaction, of cold when suddenly produced. The best cool drinks for anyone when there is thirst and when the tissues require it, is good wholesome water which should not be too cold, but chilled sufficiently to produce the comforting effects and at the same time permits reaction to its influence to take place gradually, allowing the organs and tissues of the body time to adjust themselves to the changes. This question of cold drinks may seem ordinary and common, but there are many complaints that can be traced to this source, which we thoughtlessly regard. school teachers." The report summarizes the educational needs of Virginia as follows: 1. The strengthening and extension of the elementary-school system. The only agencies able to supply this need are the State, the county, and the local public-school district. 2. The increase of teacher-training facilities. To this end secondary schools with teacher-training courses should be developed and the private schools should co-operate with the State department of education by placing more emphasis on teacher-training courses in accordance with State standards. 3. More provision for instruction in gardening, household arts, and the simple industries. In developing this work the county authorities would do well to consider the possibilities of the Jeanes Fund industrial supervisors. 4. More instruction in agriculture and in the problems of rural life, so that teachers and leaders may be developed for a people 76 per cent rural. 5. The maintenance of industrial high schools in cities. Copies of the section dealing with Virginia may be obtained on application to the Commissioner of Education, Washington, D.C.

BURLEIGH 833 London St. Portsmouth, Va. ACHING EYES are very frequently an indication of defective vision. If your eyes smart or ache after working or reading steadily for any length of time, chances are there is something wrong with your sight and you should consult a competent eyesight specialist at once. To correctly examine your eyes does not mean to try on glasses from a trayful until you find a pair that seems to fit. It means first, that an examination of the interior of the eye must be made; second, that each eye must be examined separately (few eyes are alike); third, that modern optical science and apparatus must be employed—not salesmanship. The glasses fitted by Dr. Masrow are correct. He has spent twenty-five years in the practice and study of examining eyes and fitting glasses only; you may therefore feel entirely safe in intrusting your eyes to his care. If in need of eye help, don't delay consult Dr. Masrow at his office in 405 Dickson Building, corner of Granby and Tazewell Sts. His office hours are from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.

The Broadway Rastus Company, has proven the most popular show that has ever appeared in Norfolk, and it speaks well for the people of the city, that they have given it liberal support, and asked that these refined and capable entertainers be held here for their amusement. The company is composed of thirty-five of the most capable artists in the business, an dit goes without saying that Norfolk will accord them the support that their ability and talent entitles them to. Mr. Miller, who will manager and produce the offerings during the balance of the season is not unknown to the people of this city, for here as in New York and other large cities, he is known and appreciated as the cleverest and most capable producer in musical comedy.

BROADWAY RASTUS A GREAT SUCCESS Coming direct from the Lafafette Theater, New York City, Irving C. Miller's Musical Comedy "Brondway Rustus" opened a week engagement at the Palace Theater, Monday night, before a record breaking crowd. Long before the curtain ascended at 8:30 the theater was packed. Many were turned away. The show is one of the classiest of musical comedy companies that is presented by colored players. Mr. Miller has gathered an exceptional bunch of stars that displayed wonderful ability and splendid talent. From the opening to the closing there was always something interesting, something classy, something amusing and real high class singing presented by performers whose voices possessed the sound and left the pleasing impression intended. One of the most admirable features of this company was the costumes. The pretty chorus girls as well as the leading characters appearing in fitting costumes in every scene. No two scenes presented the same costumes. The scenery work was done by master hands and more appropriate and picturesque. "The Life in Sunshine Mountain," was one of the finest sceneries that has been staged. The painting and situation, in fact, the entire stage setting of this beautiful scene was far above the average of that kind. The circus scene was another splendid one. These two scenes brought much comment from the large audience that filled the house every night. The various dances and drills were all good, and done in a clean exceptional style. The Pantomime and musical splendor The impersonating songs and dances of Indian and Chinese should be given special mention, because of the productions. The comedy sketches kept an uproar during the entire play, for the two comedians in some real up-to-date jokes were intermingled among the entire acts. "In My Place of business," was a scream and caused laughter from the opening of that scene until it closed. There were no long tiresome waiting between acts, for there was always something to be seen. Everyand went away satisfied that it is one of the greatest Musical Comedy Companies.

The rain came in the last half of the fifth inning, and a good game was ended with the score 4 to 2 in favor of the White Lillies.
