Guide Quality PRINTING Brings Results Migration And Other Economic Changes Subjects To Be Discussed COOPERATION GREAT NEED National Business League Was Founded In Spirit of Co-operation And Helpfulness Tuskegee Institute, Alabama—One of the Business League's good friends has submitted the following five reasons why the meeting this year should be well attended: "First—Chattanooga and Lookout Mountain are historic battlefields of the Civil War and it is opportune, as our country enters upon the stage of the World War to help perpetuate the ideals of democracy, that the meeting place selected will permit the delegates to visit the battle-scarred hills which played so conspicuous a part in ushering in democracy in America. "Second—Migration and other economic changes going on throughout the country are affecting the business life of the Nego. A serious discussion of these questions will be a feature of the session. "Third—Let us pledge by our presence our loyal support to the newly elected President, Hon. J. C. Napier. His first annual address will be a message of hope and encouragement for the race. "Fourth—There has never been a time in the history of our race in this country when there was greater need for undivided co-operation and mutual helpfulness, than at present. The Business League was founded in the spirit of co-operation and helpfulness. "Fifth—War is rapidly transforming trade conditions in this country. A wider knowledge of business principles such as comes from exchanging experiences during a session of the Business League will serve to fortify the business men of the race for patriotic service and to aid the organization in co-operating with other great national bodies which are working to keep the arteries of American trade pulsing with activity." Farmers of Brunswick Make Great Showing Thirteenth Annual Session Of Saint Paul's Farmers' Conference Held At Lawrenceville Lawrenceville, Va.—Despite lowering skies and intermittent showers the thirteenth annual session of the St. Paul Farmers' Conference, Lawrenceville, in session here July 26th-27th was a splendid success. The attendance, though interfered with by threatening weather and high water in various parts of the county, yet totalled over 1,200. An out-door meeting had been arranged and a large-arbor constructed, but this could not be used the first day on account of the rain. The chapel, though a large structure, was unable to hold the throng. The crowd filled the aisles and every available space, and overflowed into the entrance ways. A Red Letter Day It was a red letter day for the Conference, for, former Governor Mann was to address the gathering. The audience came from all parts of the county and from Mecklenburg, Greeneville, and Lunenburg. The former Governor received an ovation when he arose to speak after an introduction by President Russell, who referred at some length to his career and distinguished services. The audience rose en masse to receive the Governor and it was some minutes before the cheering subsided sufficiently to enable him to begin. Speaks on Agricultural Preparedness After some complimentary remarks about what he had heard and read about the progress of the Negroes of Brunswick and what he had seen himself since being in their midst and the great good that the school was doing as an uplift agency, which he said was second to none in the country, he got down to his main topic: "Agricultural Preparedness." He said that he had been sent to them by the Virginia Council of Defense. The Governor stressed the importance of improving the soil and increasing its productivity. He showed that with proper methods of cultivation the resources of the State could take care of 10,000,000 population instead of 2,200,000; that of the 25,000,000 acres of cultivable land in the State only 4,000,000 were under cultivation, 10,000,000 acres being idle. He made an appeal for the cultivation of our idle lands. The importance and the great work of the farm demonstration service was referred to and especially Dr. Eggleston's help in developing it. The work was begun with fourteen, there were now sixty-four demonstrators at work. He also laid special stress upon how worn out soils could be improved; telling what had been accomplished in Nottoway by Mr. Sandy and others, including his own experience, which convinced him that there was no such thing as worn out soils as in most cases only intelligent cultivation was needed to make The Journal and Guide them fertile. He closed by expressing his gratification at the good, relations of the races in the county as an evidence by the set of resolutions, read in his hearing arranging for a plan of co-operation between the white and colored people in holding a county fair. Rev. Dr. Patton's Address The next address was in the afternoon by Rev. Dr. R. W. Patton, General Agent of the American Church Institute for Negroes. Dr. Patton's eloquent address was devoted to showing how the great war was a contest for the supremacy of Democracy and how the Negro was in partnership with the white man in this world contest of Democracy against autocracy. It was a most eloquent plea for the cultivation of the principles of real citizenship by the Negro and the importance of his doing his duty as an American citizen in the crisis confronting the nation. President Russell's Address. The President's address was as usual a resume of the progress during the year and review of conditions. In merely material progress the county was more than holding its own, having nearly 63,000 acres of land to its credit with reality value of $732,419, and personal property $233,037, a total of $965,456. In school progress the county stood third in enrollment and first in amount of money raised to extend school terms. The address emphasized the importance of a more regular attendance, increased payment of capitation and increased enrollment. Woman's Congress The Conference adopted unanimously a resolution to accept the proposition of the white fair association to co-operate with them in holding a fair to the end that only one fair be held for both white and colored instead of two as at present. The second day was Woman's Day. Registration cards were distributed and a large number of women registered. Reports and routine matters concluded the most successful session in the history of the Conference. STUDY RACE CONDITIONS Atlanta, Ga.-B. R. Holmes, president of the Holmes Institute, has undertaken a tour of the East and North to study the condition of the Negroes who have migrated from the South. CLOSE OF SUMMER NORMAL AT THE N. & I. INSTITUTE One of the Most Successful Sessionls In the History of The Institution. Petersburg, Vn.—Last Friday marked the close of one of the most successful summer sessions yet held at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. The body of teachers in attendance represented almost every county and city in Virginia, with the states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and the District of Columbia included. The management left no stone unturned which could add to the comfort of the teachers. Among the lecturers for the session was Dr. L. B. Moore, Dean of Teachers College, Howard University, who delivered a course of lectures on "Psychology as Applied to Teaching." Every lecture in the series was highly instructive and entertaining. Miss Della Ruffin, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A. of Richmond, delivered a very fitting address before the annual joint session of the Summer School teachers and the Virginia Mothers' League, Miss Laura Wilkes of Washington, D. C., gave an inspiring reading on "The Negroes Place in the World's Wars." Prof. M. W. Connor, Head of Dept. of Education and Director of the Sunday School Training Work, delivered a course of lectures on Sunday School Pedagogy. Numerous excursions and entertainments were arranged. Among which were the excursion to Hopewell and the Cantonment, the Alumni Dining Hall Reception, the Industrial Exhibition and the farewell reception tendered the visiting teachers by the faculty. The Industrial exhibit was a showing of the work in cooking, sewing, eaining, basketry, primary industrial work and bench work done by the students in the summer school. The work was proclaimed excellent by the many visitors who inspected it. Prior to the inspection, a musical and literary program was rendered to the delight of all. Prof. W. E. Riddick of Portsmouth, was chairman of the program committee. The total number completing the courses this summer is forty-eight, divided as follows: Professional Primary and Grammar Grade Courses, 27; Industrial First and Second Grade 21. Among the many Alumni who returned to spend the session at their Alma Mater were the following: Misses Beulah M. T-Turner, Mary I. Johnson, Willie M. Stephenson, Roberta Reid, Leona A. Chiles, Georgia Davis, Maggie Brown, Lettia T. Kyd, Catherine Reid, Kittie Bolden, Alberta M. Bell, Mrs. Emily B. Cooke, Anna W. Green, Ruth F. Howell, Rosa Logan, Nannie F. Wallace, Sarah L. Jordan, Messrs. W. E. Knox and Mr. E. C. Johnson. President John M. Gandy is at present in New York, where he is pursuing a course in Philosophy and Administration at Columbia University. Miss Nannie L. Nichols, supervisor of the Training School is studying at Columbia. Prof. Walker Bacon, Head of the Science Department is pursuing a course in Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. Immediately upon the close of the summer work other teachers left for their vacation and for study in various northern institutions. NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1917. Work Undertaken By National Association For Advancement Of Colored People City and County Will Be Asked To Pay Damages For Lives And Property Destroyed. (Special to Journal and Guide) New York City—When the first troubles in East St. Louis became public late in May, the N. A. A. C. P. recognized that this was something of the utmost importance. East St. Louis is one of the great centers whither the migration of at least a quarter of a million Negroes has set. It was therefore of the utmost importance to understand any troubles that might arise and to ward them off if possible. We recognized the strong interest that various people South and North had in stopping Negro migration and discouraging the emancipation of the black serf. Before, however, our representative could get to East St. Louis, the terrible riot of July 2 had taken place. A hundred or more Negroes were killed, scores of homes and property destroyed, and six thousand refugees crossed the bridge into St. Louis. The St. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. immediately began relief work. Our members, prominent in professions and in business, for nearly ten days gave almost their entire time to the victims. A mass meeting was conducted and a special finance committee appointed. Conclusions came from as far as Kansas City and Chicago and some $400 or $500 immensely collected. The Association reckoned in conjunction with the white Red Cross and with other colored individuals in the city. The Municipal Lodging House was opened and hundreds of individual's homes. Immediate steps were taken to prepare legal cases against the city and county. The Legal Committee of the Association held open doors and hundreds of declarations of losses were received by Attorney Phillips. From the National Office, Dr. DuBois was sent to make a thorough study of the situation, and Miss Martha Gruening to inquire into the attitude of the employers of labor unions. The Chicago Branch contributed $200 to the relief funds and also, under Judge Brown, is preparing to give legal aid to the prosecution of the county and city. It will be remembered that Illinois has two statutes which bear upon this riot, first an "Act to indemnify the owners of property for damages caused by mobs and riots," passed in 1887, and the other, an "Act to suppress mob violence," approved in 1905. The Association, through its National Office and through the Chicago and St. Louis Branches, proposes to leave no stone unturned to bring to justice the guilty perpetrators of the East St. Louis outrage. The St. Louis Branch is still active, the investigations of the National Office are proceeding, and the detailed stories of the truth about East St. Louis will appear shortly in various magazines and in the Crisis. Persons who are convinced by our experience in East St. Louis and elsewhere that a national fighting body of this sort is absolutely indispensable are urged to join the Association, and to contribute to our Anti-Lynching and Anti-Mob-Violence Fund. A check for $100 has been received from the Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Illinois and other contributions have been sent by various organizations and individuals. Literature and information may be had by writing to James W. Johnson, Acting Secretary, Room 518, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. HAMPTON ALUMNI MEETING Officers Elected at Annual Meeting On July 19th. A very interesting meeting of the Hampton Alumni was held Thursday, July 19th with a large attendance. Many old graduates who had not seen each other for years were present. The treasurer reported over $1400 as having been raised on the $2500 scholarship which they hope to complete by July 1918, the 50th anniversary of the school. Mr. Wm. M. Reid of Portsmouth, Va., was elected president, Mrs. Laura E. Titus, Vice President. This is the first time in the history of the school that a woman has held this position in this Alumni, Mr. Don Davis secretary, Mrs. Geo. Davis, Treasurer, Major Washington, Registrar. Prof. Dett gave a very interesting talk on Music and urged those present to see it that their children be taught both vocal and instrumental music. Lunch was served on the lawn and a banquet at night in the Virginin Hall Dining Room. Mr. Titus and Miss Folsom led the way to the banquet hall which was beautifully decorated with palms, flowers and flags. The splendid Carter Orchestra dispersed enchanting music throughout the evening much to the delight of all present. AGENTS WANTED to canvass colored localities everywhere.

"MANAGER," 942 Church Street, Room 2. 8-4-ft Fort Des Moines Training Camp Participated In Flag Raising Exercises Demonstrated Military Training And Sang Many Of The Old Melodies Of The South (Special to Journal and Guide) Des Moines, Iowa.—Shortly after 5 p. m. July 22, cars and trucks, bearing the 1,200 officer students, now in training at Fort Des Moines, dumped their loads along the streets that surrounded Drake University, where they took part in a flag raising in the University stadium. The boys marched into the stadium in batalion formation receiving much applause and favorable comments from all sides. Twelve thousand persons watched the maneuvers and listened attentively to the rendition of many Southern melodies, giving voluminous applause to some of the strains which typify the spiritual longings of the masses of colored people. As the line passed the receiving stand it was stated that each because of the perfect cadence of the participants looked as though it were a solid mass working by artificial means. Residents of the city greeted the boys warmly as they passed through boys warmly as they passed through. Each fellow is putting forth every effort to make good in every particular under the careful instruction of those who are over them. This being the golden opportunity in the history of the race, each feels it his duty to push with untiring efforts until he shall have reached a long cherished goal. This is the opportunity in which the black man can demonstrate to the world, whose eyes are turned toward Des Moines, his ability to cope with the other races in the bronder, higher and nobler fields of activity. All that he asks is a chance. $1000.00 IN CASH AND SUBSCRIPTIONS That Amount Has Been Raised In Norfolk For French War The citizens meeting last Sunday afternoon at First Baptist Church, Bute Street, under the auspices of the "Colored American Association," was one of the best affairs o f like nature ever held here. A splendid audience of representative people were present and a number of white people. The church was very appropriately decorated with the emblems of the Allies. Rev. Dr. S. S. Morris presided. Prof. Jerry C. Anderson rendered a beautiful bass solo. Prof. Clyde D. Carter was heard to splendid advantage in rendering a saxophone solo. Bank St. Sunday School orchestra played patriotic airs very feelingly for the occasion. The address of Dr. Charles S. Morris was much enjoyed. In his eloquent manner he traced history showing the record of the black man. Former Justice James S. Barron brought a strong message of encouragement, urged support of the movement, declared his sympathy for the black man. Executive Secretary Charles S. Morris, Jr., made the appeal for funds. "We are rejoiced to know that our black soldiers are fighting in the trenches of France, to make the world safe for democracy. Gratified to learn that they are combating against the tide of German autocracy, but we beseech you my white fellow citizens to make America safe for the Neerou." Following the Secretary's plea the audience gave $80.75, and a large number of subscriptions. The Monticello Bellman's Association sent $12.50, making total $93.25. This was $16.19 in excess of cash raised at first meeting. The occasion closed the campaign for the summer. Other meetings will be held in the early Fall, one at the Colonial Theater. Tag Day.

Mutual And Provident Association Total Assets Of This Progressive Race Enterprise Now Aggregate $266,000.00 Durham, N.C.—The wholesale migration of Negroes from the Southern States has given cause for speculation along various lines. In the early days of the movement, but little attention was given the matter, as it was generally conceded that the migrating fever had struck only the shiftless Negro in search of more inviting fields of idleness. As time passed, however, and, as the Northern movement grew in proportion, idle speculation assumed a more serious aspect. With the growing scarcity of labor an dthe ever increasing numbers leaving, grave apprehensions were entertained for the welfare of enterprises drawing their support wholly or in part from the Negroes. Especially was this true of the Negro Insurance Company, whose efficiency and stability hinge solely upon the ability of the Negro to grasp the full importance of preparing for the future, during the days of unrest and indecision. Notwithstanding grim forebodings and with the pull of war looming heavily over this peaceful country of ours the representatives of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association put their shoulders to the wheel in a supreme effort to stem the surging tide of the times. The result was indeed gratifying and most encouraging as evidenced by the following observations resulting from a survey of the past half year's business. During the past six months, the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association enjoyed phenomenal prosperity, having experienced the largest increase in business of any corresponding period since the Company's organization. The gross collections for the first six months of 1917 represent an increase of $40,000.00. over the corresponding period of last year, while the gross assets of the Company have increased to over $266,000.00. The Negro has shown unusual discretion along various lines, in the matter of insurance, the policy holders of this great pioneer institution of finance and thrift are displaying commendable foresight in that they are permitting neither the war nor the high cost of living to prevent their keeping up their premiums. The watchword of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association is "Promptness," and the promptness with which its claims are met only typifies the high standard of efficiency that governs this business institution. All claims, whether representing an item of $10.00 or $1,000.00, are adjusted with no unnecessary delay. The promptness and surety attending the adjustment of every obligation has been the means of drawing many of the foremost race men within the confines of the great North Carolina Mutual family and has contributed no small part to the Company's growth and unquestioned soundness. But recently, a check for $1,000.00 was issued to satisfy the death claim of Rev. Alfred E. Peets, D. D. Rev. Peets was at one time Dean of Kittrell College, but later took charge of the Emanuel A. M. E. Church of Charleson, S. C. It was while thus engaged his life's work was brought to a close. No Negro Insurance Company operating anywhere enjoys a greater degree of patronage than the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. The integrity that governs every act, the ability to meet all obligations, whether lageor small, and the honesty and promptness attending the adjustment of all claims are but stepping stones leading up to the merited success this Negro organization of finance now enjoys.

JONES’ REPORT ON NEGRO EDUCATION There are many interesting recommendations as well as revelations in the two-volume report on Negro Education which Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones -has prepared for the United States government. ;We learn from the report the facts of what the dif- iferent states of the Union spend for Negro schools, ‘what it costs cach State having separate schools per capita for the education of white and colored children, and we learn also the facts of what the race itself has done in the way of establishing schools and maintaining them. We have it as Dr. Jones’ opinion that the whole program of Negro education’should be changed so as to meet the “‘de- mands of modern society.” That the location of two or more colleges for Negroes in certain places ‘indicate a wasteful duplication of collegiate ef- fort.” He would like to see the colleges thinned out and strengthened, and first-class colleges lo- cated at Richmond, Va., Atlanta, Ga., and Mar- shall, Tex. And, “despite high ideals and notable enthusiasm on the part ofthe race and its bene- factors, most of the colored institutions calling themselves colleges are poorly equipped and inef- fectively organized and administered.” According to the standard which Dr. Jones, as an educational specialist, sets up for colleges, his assertion is probably true, but where would the race be today if it had not been for the “high ideals and notable enthusiasm” that gave birth and support lo these institutions? If the race and its benefactors had waited for the means to establish and maintain such institutions as Dr. Jones has in mind the race could not show its present high percentage of literacy with the corresponding degree of material progress. The denominational high schools; scademies and colleges established’ by the race, even though deficient in organization. and adminis- tration, have been its salvation, for in many places these schools were established where the State had failed to furnish any schools at.all, and eyen at.the-present time there are rhany, communities in the South. where ‘the ‘only “‘schdol’ . within the reach of the colored inhabitants is one of these de- Mominational schoals. We believe that out of Dr. dones’ report there will come much that is good for the ‘educational system of the country, both Private and public, but we have no hesitancy in Saying that nothing sHould be done as a result of his investigations that will discourage or cripple any of the private schools now in existence that have any reasonable prospects of succéss. So much for the recommendations. The revelations are more interesting and should appeal with some force to the close-fisted and prejudiced legislator or average citizen who is constantly under the delusion that the Negroes are receiving as much as they are entitled to from the various states for educational purposes. ‘The public school teachers of Virginia received $3,188,- 146 in salaries in 1911-1912. Of this sum $2,767, 865 was for the teachers of 286,977 white child- ren and $421,381 for the teachers of 153,827 color- ed children. On a per capita basis this is $9.64 for each whitechild of school age and $2.74 for each colored child.” It is aparent that the dif- ference in the efficiency of the colored and white systems as maintained by the state bears about the same proportion as the difference in efficiency between the poorly organized and equipped colored private schools and colleges and the standard of colleges Dr. Jones wouid like to see established for Negroes. It appears to us that Dr. Jones’ first duty is to convince the government that it is nec: essary to spend as many dollars in making a good and useful citizen out of a black child as it is nécessary to spend in making a good and useful citizen out of a white child. FALSE PHILOSOPHY The state and national policy of stinting ap- propriations for Negro education, while making liberal appropriations for white schools, upon the theory that Negro education does not pay, reacts with such startling effect, gt tinies that the most ‘confirmed skeptic ought to be able to realize the fallacy of it. The:policy: that prompts Virginia to spend $10 for. téaching domestic ‘science to white women whilé’spendirig $1 for training col- cored women in thesamerscience jithat leads Georg- ia to spend $579,000 in giving vocational and tech- nical training to whites while spending only $8,090 to give such training to Negroes, is found. ed:upon:a misconceived philosophy, as the course of events’ prove, from time to time.“ A. typical pase isythe -Norfolkcolored. woman,.who;: through.

In contrast to the fine spirit of patriotism dis- played by the Texas colored men, whose loyalty will have to find some other form for expresson than fighting in the army, ‘we have the case of a state-wide organization of white men in Georgia who are raising money with which to contest leg- ally and by propaganda, the conscription act. They are resisiting enlistment an ddoing all that they can do short of treason to prevent the gov- ernment from enforcing the draft law in their state. e . In ‘Texas we have a fine example of patriot- ism—self-denying loyalty and fidelity—which the government sternly rebukes, because the men are black. In Georgia we have one type of Ameri- canism—characterized by all the abortive tend- encies that have made of patriotism and respect for law and order a hissing and a by-word. And it is tolerated by the government—because the meén are white. ENCOURAGING BUSINEES GROWTH The migration movement, which has played such havoc with Southern farms and industries, has also given Negro business enterprises in the South some cdiuse for apprehension. It was fear- ed that the migration of large numbers of mem- bers of the race from the South would be serious. ly felt in the counting rooms of every organization depending largely upon Negro trade. The article published elsewhere in this issué o fthe Journal and. Guide, reciting the gains made by the North Carolina Mutual ‘and Provident Association dur- ing the past six months should dispel any feeling of apprehension which existe.in.the-minds.of ou business men on account of the migration moye- ment. An insurance company, like “the “North Carolina Mitual, déing busidess’ onthe ‘legate. serve basis, and writing both ordinary.and indus: trial policies, is an accurate barometer of exalth- tion or depression in racial business circles. The company’s increase for the first half of this year of $40,000.00 over the same period last year is an indication that neither the migration’ movement nor the war has materially disturbed the economic progress of the race. Of course it is also an indi- cation that the company referred to is particularly well organized and managed, as any similar con- cern must be, to so substantially increase its in- come during abnormal times. - HEALTH TALKS Preventive and Remedial Measures For The Conservation Of Health. ___BY DR. J. W. PIERCE eee eee TUBERCULOSIS AND AVOIRDUPOIS There is an erroncous belief held by the Isity that tuberculosis is a disease that is only seen in the thin and emacipated; that obesity is evidence sufficient to prove to ‘one that tuberculosis cannot exist in one who presents such a physical constitution, Dr. William Brady takes a very interesting view of this question and quotes some eminent authorities to support his position- The gist of his argument is here given very clearly. “The opinion is still general among the laity that one who is stout’ or overweight is necessarily not subject to tuberculosis; and that one who is spare or underweight is more likely to have it. There is no foundation in-fact for either supposition.” . 1. N. Kahn, a New York authority, and Somerfield, 4 Berlin authority, have made special studies of the re- Jntion of body weight to pulmonary tuberealosis, and their conclusions are in accord, that there is no definite relation notable in a large series of cases. These two investigators, working independently, found that during the first and second stages of tuberculosis of the lungs, patients ‘of cither sex and every age maintain normal body weight or actually gain in weight while under trentment. Both observers agree that itis only in the third ‘stage of tuberculosis, the stage of actual consumption, ad- vanced tuberculosis, cavity, ulceration of the lung, that there is always a°loss of body weight, | ‘Thus it’ is disastrous to assume that because an in- dividual is normal or above normal weight for one of his or her height and age, the possibility of tuberculosis may be miled out. And experience teaches that it is equally ‘misleading to think that a young person who remains ob- stinately several pounds underweight must have a touch of tuberculosis. ‘ a @ Normal, weight; by. the: way, ‘is: iiefelythe averaze Pat Rit aE Nii aA EE td LE, weight of a large group of individauals chosen promiscuously, including the good and the bad, the thin and the fat. Perhaps what we, are accustomed t calling normal weight in this ebunery is really a little above the standatd of efficiency, because there is no question that a sad majority of us are too stout, and when we ‘row too stout, we do it very thoroughiy as « rule. ‘There is something about the ‘skinny” the in- dividual a trifle below standard weight that suggests fighting trim and endur: ance. ‘The moral of today’s lesson is that ‘the mere maintenance of normal weight does not mean that the time has arrived for” stopping the fight against tuberculosis, or the effort tc recover health, Any ‘one who has eve visited a large tuberculosis _hospita ‘or sanitarium knows how true this is The statement made by Dr. Brady as given above,is full of su:zestions and cach idea or thought expressed, i: quite siznilicant. It means that Ww imust not mislead ourselves by jude. | ing too accurately, on the basis of th weight of the body, that we may no have this disease.’ Much has "beer ‘said,and a good deal is constantly be ing said about this monster, but thi: phase of the question warrants repeti tion in order that the average may, b Kept reminded from time to tim about the illusion that may exist rela tive to the body weight and its rela. tion to tuberculosis. ‘The evidence o freedom from tubercular infection. is to be found more from other scientifi sources than from mere body weight | The Rest Laxative. 38aq dh AB[NII4 sjomog O43 dosy OF laxative is outdoor exercise.

CHURCH July was a great month for us all through. The First Sunday was go-To-Church Day, and the Fifth was Class Day. At 1 A.M. we had a class from 2:45 to 6:6. Subject, "Working without an Ax-Head, or Making the Iron to Swim." This was a plan for sincerity and the consciousness of building up God's kingdom. Here is a sentence, "villu cuntvbpv bkpl xzifliid sifd "1... more weariness to be a hypoiteite, and make executes for failing to do your duty than to lie, to cheat, to excuse, to snick if not only treason, it is suicide." At 3:30 p. m., the chair recital took place, Mrs. Hatcher reported from over $1200. The contest will appeal. At night the Son's of Norfolk came out in full and listened to Rev. Hatcher's most class discussion of the "Black Man in the hood and in the back" of the church. They were asked to be highly delibrated and said this was in many respects the greatest sermon they had heard for a long time. They were asked to be through Brother Pinner and Sister A. Jacis $20.25. Sunday, August 5th is Holy Communion, be on time. Everybody is blessed. Brother Pinner and Sister A. Jacis, Sept. 9th to 30th. The goal is $1500. My dear Co-Workers: We have just three (3) months are our Association convenes at Welton, so what we were looking for was a sleep at the switch. Let us as noble, faithful women be mindful of the task begun by us. Remember the fight is on. We must push the switch to the next level. We must us a biss and by-word for our enemies. "Ours is put to reason why, but ours to do or die." At our joint board meeting in Scotland and New York we have reminded and promised to stand back of our efforts. We must not fail them. Their slogan is $1250, and we have pleaded the paltry sum of $250. We will not allow them to any will to their next. Let the sisters begin organize circles now. Let the old Circles begin to plan now. Ask your church for a Sunday and have a day for the Auxiliary. We are ready to organize and want every Circle to respond with $0.00. If you have not a Circle and cannot organize, let some sister be work and bring $5, and have already started their railings. None of the officers must shirk at Weldon. Each officer please bring $10; Circles, $5; Co- missionaries, $0. Remainder the representation fee is $1.00 withholdable. per Creek; See for individuals. We want two or more delegates from every Class to meet with delegates at your next meeting. We are counting upon a large delegation of sisters. The Institute is at Weldon.

ECHOES FROM THE GREAT BAPTIST JUDIEE However much we said about the "Guming jubilee" prior to its sessions, the most important event was the bynet event. Since the meeting a steady arrival of letters of congratulations from friends of the work and the President, presiding over the impression made by the meeting. As a sample of such letters I copy here a part of the letter, as follows: "As I reflect upon the truly great success that attended the Virginia Baptist State Convention in its Jubilee session at Lynchburg, I feel the pleasure of being present. This session stands in a class alone, without parallel in the history of the school, the educational, deeply religious and spiritual. So truly great was it, that its powers for good, along every line, must needs be unfolded gradually before one can comprehend the scope of An effort towards copying any of the many other letters referred to would be only an unanswered question, expressed by Dr. Miller, hence we let his letter suffice as an example of others. So the great jubilee meeting has come, but its most profound impression lingers; for Being a first-class plasterer and a colored man, music quita wonderful among the less-educated. That quartette of conventions at the jubilee meeting, represented men and women of nearly all walks of life from the humblest to the most prestigious, for good cannot be erased from the memory of those whose fortune it was to be present. The program from every viewpoint, was superb and satiric, except a few blank pages. The conventions allowed no room for regrets thereafter. Not a few colored people as I travel, I find own their homes, and not a few are buying homes. Yet recently came to these cities the South. They own such a large immigration houses and lots for rent and for sale are scarcely. Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and Mr. Wade Dickerson 1700 Dekalb street have fine truck gardens.

He is a contractor who brick work, yet he never profits his garden.

That "Safety Committee" appointed by the recently held "Citizen's Meeting," with Mr. W. H. Crocher as chairman, has entered upon its most arduous labor, and its influence for good is already being felt. Another meeting will soon be held. There is no secrecy of labor in this city and county, and fonters are few and far between. It is suggested that all of us, white and colorful, are a kind of common tongue and subject to what "we are going to do during and after the war." The "Safety Committee" will have, as a part of its duty, the seeing to it that there shall be no friction between the two races. We never have it here, because we are careful with it.

Add to this what many of the mills and factories have shut down, and that others are likely to do so at any time, and get an idea of what is best to do with what money we have made, and what we are making now.

Our Citizens' Meeting. Do you know that some twenty-five, or more of some of the lending Negroes of the city and the county met themselves at W. H. Crocker's office the other night and discussed themselves almost to them about the betterment of our district and the need for a new school did. And it was well done. At any time this city is not progressive, it is not anything. Mr. Crocker telephoned a few of the leading men to meet at his office on a certain evening, just to discuss the progress of the interests of this city and county. He was somewhat surprised at the number that came. He suggested many things for the meeting to take under advisement and discussion—the migratory interest of our people northward took hold and Mr. W. H. Crocker, accused by Mr. W. H. Crocker, Mr. B. B. Elliott, Rev. Morris and Bridgedford, Mr. J. L. White, and Dr. W. T. Fuller. It soon developed that no outside information is needed now. It was the result of the work of the groves who have left the State within the last twelve months, only the usual number have left this county. That is to say, there is a certain number that go North every spring and summer to work in the brick yards and in the fields. The speakers fully brought out the fact that there is nothing abnormal about the exodus from this part of the world, and that the thoughtful men and women of the city have been very little, if any, secretity of labor in the factories or on the farms. Of course, there was not a unanimous opinion or sentiment, but the decision remains the same. One of the wisest steps taken, was to throw EAST-EN Three Blocks From Union JOHN W.
