Guide Quality PRINTING Brings Results Journal and Guide Correspondent Gives Aftermath of East St. Louis Riots INDUSTRIES AT STANDSTILL Hundreds of Houses Vacant and Mills and Factories Are Without Labor (By C. J. Hardstew.) Marinum, Ark—When I was in Fast St. Louis the other day I noted that there were many vacant houses, and the superintendent of the public schools was a little apprehensive about the opening of the schools for our people, because so many people have left. They are still leaving, and where they will stop and when they will stop leaving, I am not enough prophet to tell you. The people have reached the place where they are not going to be fooled, and I don't blame them, but I am forced to say that my people must be men, and must not run every time there is the shooting of a gun, for if we will be forced to leave towns and cities by the killing of a few then we are on the move for life, and perhaps will have to stop in the Atlantic or Pacific ocean, or stop in heaven. Must Be Shedding Of Blood. Of course before the question of human rights will be settled there must be the shedding of blood, hence the great European war. Millions of men have died, and helpless women and children have been murdered on the soil of England, and all in a combat for human rights. I think they call it democracy vs. autocracy. Now what these big words mean, I don't know, and you will have to tell me, but it is what they are fighting about in Europe. Now, on the question of human rights and freedom our country has been forced into the war against our will, but we are there, and now we are going to stay into it until the rights of man are gained if it takes every drop of human blood in our country. As Negroes, we are ready, and willing to join the white man in doing our part. We are willing to put a gun on our backs and to tote it for miles, and then go to shooting at any human-being who may have brass enough to offer an insult to the stars and stripes. The world is calling for a man, and since we are a part of the world, of course our race is also calling for a man, and a man we are going to have. He must come from my boy and your boy, from our homes. Our women must train him. A Night. Long To Be Remembered. But coming back to East St. Louis, it has been an awful thing. The night of July 2, will ever be remembered by those who are interested in the affairs of the nation. Howling mobs hunting down members of our race, just like one would hunt for wild game. Put fire to dwellings and as they rush out shoot them down, drag them from street cars and kill them because they dare be members of our race. The world will never know just what happened that awful night in East St. Louis, and perhaps it may be for the good of us that it will never be known. Yes I spent two days there, and one day over in St. Louis, at the Poro College, the guest of the "Malones." It was an enjoyable time. For I had at my disposal while there one of them big fine cars, and Mr. Brown, who is one careful man to look after me, and my wants and to tote me around. One afternoon Prof. Aaron Malone invited me to go with him to see a professional game of base ball. The invitation was accepted, because I must admit that I had never seen one. Sees A Base Ball Game. Soon we were at the game, and there were thousands of people there to see this wonderful game. I have decided after looking at it that baseball is not a play, but a science, an art, and real work at that. We reached there, and saw them toss the ball. There was a man who stood and threw the ball as if he was throwing it to kill some one, and I noted with much interest how a man would strike at it and miss it, and a man caught it behind what they called the bat. I don't see how a fellow can catch balls when they are thrown at him so hard. Then they would strike the ball and then run as if for dear life. I did not understand all that, but Mr. Malone would tell me. I have been a boy, but not a ball boy. People went like maniacs. It was between Boston and St. Louis. A fellow got on first base, and then he would play off, and the fellow would throw the ball and he would run back as if for dear life. What do you think Mr. Malone told me? He told me that he was trying to steal his base. I thought that if a man would try to steal anything with be a fool. Well the game ended, and St. Louis won the day. I went back to the Poro, got myself together and went to another part of the world. From St. Louis to Texarkana, where I spent two days, and from there to Hot Springs, and spent a little time there with Dr. C. M. Wade, and John T. T. Warren, undertaker, manager of the Pythian bath house, notary public, grand worthy councillor of the Court of Calanthe, and a busy business man. Mr. Warren had just returned from the session of the grand court in Little Rock where they had purchased a The Journal and Guide PRESIDENT H. B. FRISSELL. Dr. Hollis Burke Frisel, late principal of Hampton Institute, died Sunday, August 5, at Whitefield, N. H. He was fifty-six years old and had been connected with Hampton Institute for twenty-five years, first as chaplain and later as principal, succeeding Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong, the founder of the school. Dr. Frisel was born in Amenia, N. Y., July 14, 1851, and was a graduate of both Harvard and Yale Universities. The funeral occurred Wednesday, August 8, at Hampton, the remains being interred on the institute grounds beside those of Gen. Armstrong. real building, paying cash for it. They are in good financial condition, and it is due to the fact that he is a great financial leader. He knows how to run his own business and then business for the people. God must give us more like him for the race of life. Baptists Making Big Plans. Then a trip to Little Rock, revealed to me that things were getting in shape for the meeting of the National Baptist convention in Muskgoose, Okla., next fall. This is going to be one more great meeting. Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, announces that things are in readiness, and the people are going to be there in good shape and right on time. It will be a great big meeting and some great people will be there. Dr. Booker is Secretary of the Home Mission Board, and he is planning great things for the future in that direction. He is going to open the eyes of the Bantists of America. He is prepared to do this, because he has made his work a special study. I was in the Jubilee in Lynchburg, Va., last month and now they are preparing to have one in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in November. They are going to have together the army that John saw and perhaps a few more. It is going to be something. Virginia and Georgia will be represented in this celebration. They are working hard on it. I wish you could be there too. Only a few more days now before the meeting of the National Negro Business League, in Chattanooga, and then the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias in St. Louis, the National Medical Association in Philadelphia, and then the National Baptist convention in Muskgoose, Okla. Speaking of National Baptist convention, the world was shocked the other day, when news was flashed over the country, that Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, the preacher, the educator, the author, the scholar was no more. We were all reminded that one by one we must leave this world, one by one we shall be called up to pass out. Time is a great big teacher. Time will call upon us all. Dr. Johnson was one of the leaders among the Baptists. He was a man of ability, a man of worth. He lived well in his days, and when he was called upon to leave he was prepared. I have many things to say to you, but will have to wait until other letters. MR. JOHN C. DANCY, JR., APPOINTED "BIG BROTHER" Mr. John' C. Dancy, Jr., who for several months had charge of the Boys' Department of the Y. M. C. A. in this city, has been appointed "Big Brother" of the colored branch of the Big Brothers Movement, with headquarters at 200 Fifth Ave., New York. He takes the place of Mr. C. C. Allison, Jr., resigned. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Y. M. C. A. will be addressed Sunday at four-thirty p. m. by Mr. F. L. Carter, subject, "Stop! Look! Listen! Danger!" Every young man is urged to be present to hear this unusual subject. DR. SMITH HERE. Dr. E. E. Smith, principal of the State Normal School of Fayetteville, N.C., is in the city.. Dr. Smith has just completed a very successful summer Normal at his school. NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1917 MEDICAL MEN ARE ABLY DEFENDED Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists of Race Maintain High Standards MANY TAKE POST COURSES Developing Men Who Have Achieved Remarkable Results In Practice of Surgery Mobile, Ala.—Porhans one of the ablest defences ever put forward by any member of an organization for the betterment of the race to which they belong was that which was offered by Dr. E. T. Belsaw, a dentist of this city, with regard to the National Medical Association. Dr. Belsaw in a conversation recently said: "The statement was made to me a few days ago, as it is frequently made by thoughtless people of all races, that the Negro Doctors and Dentists never pursue their studies any longer after they graduate and as a result they are not the equals of the white men in the same professions. I took the speaker to task and swamped him with the following argument: In the first place every progressive Negro Surgeon, Physician, Dentist and Pharmacist subscribes for one or more scientific journals of their specific branch of the profession and in this way they keep abreast of all new thought and all advanced theories. In the second place a liberal proportion of the Negro professional men do post-graduate study in the leading Medical Associations, they have their State Medical Associations, they have their Tri-State Medical Associations and towering above all of these they have their National Medical Association which is composed of the leading Surgeons, the most progressive Physicians, the most advanced Dentists and the most scientific Pharmacists in the country. Attendance upon a session of the National Medical Association is equivalent to a post-graduate course of study in many institutions. The class of papers that are read at these meetings and the facts brought out in the discussions are sufficient to prepare him to cope with any situation met with in the practice of his profession, in fact he becomes the equal of any Medical man anywhere. And the Surgical operations both, general and oral, that are performed at the National Medical Association meetings are of the highest type, requiring rare skill and experience and are demonstrated by Negro Surgeons who have the preparation and experience and technique second to no class of Surgeons in America. The men will go home from this meeting at Philadelphia full of information and keenly alive with inspiration. They will be largely benefited by what they see and what they hear, everything that is new and modern in scientific research, in theory, in practice and that which is undergoing investigation for the prevention and treatment of disease will be perfectly familiar to those who attend the Philadelphia meeting. After pouring this broadside into the critic, I asked him "Did he still believe that the Negro doctor was behind the times?" He merely drooped his head and walked away. WHITE JURY FREES COLORED MAN ON UNWRITTEN LAW Jacksonville, Fla.—Edward Thompson, a colored man, on trial here since last Saturday for the killing on March 30 last of Edmund J. Murch, retired capitalist and politician of Bangor, Me., was found not guilty by a white jury August 1. after only 20 minutes' deliberation. Murch was shot in the home of the Negro and died two hours later without giving the details of the tragedy, claiming that he was injured in an auto: Thompson claimed the unwritten law. FIRST BAPSTIST CHURCH, TAYLORSVILLE. Rev. W. M. Massenburg, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Taylorsville, was presented with 50 pounds of sugar, one-fourth barrel of flour, lard, chickens, etc., by the members of his church, for which he was most thankful. Mrs. Jennie E. Day, after spending some time in Cleveland, Ohio and Kentucky, has returned home much improved in health. Miss Juanita Long leaves Saturday evening for Baltimore, Md., to spend several weeks with her mother. Mrs. Carrie Hicks of Johnson avenue has returned home after spending several weeks in Elizabeth City visiting her aunt, Mrs. Marriet Jenkins. CARRY PROTEST TO THE WHITE HOUSE Delegation Asks President To "Speak Some Public Word" On American Outrages 2,867 HAVE BEEN LYNCHED Cannot Fight Battles of Civilization Marching In Blood-Stained Garments Washington, D. C.—Negroes of the nation carried to the White House today their protest against the atrocious attacks made upon them at East St. Louis and other industrial contests recently. They appealed to President Wilson through Secretary Tumulty to speak "some public word" that would give hone and courage to the Negroes of the United States. Mr. Tumulty listened to the reading of a petition and promised the delegation, which was headed by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People, that "the matter would not be neglected." He told his callers also that the President has been in consultation with department officials concerning better protection for the Negro citizens of the country. The delegation requested a personal interview with the President, which request Mr. Tumulty, said he would place before Mr. Wilson. Mr. Johnson's Remarks. The remarks of Mr. Johnson in addressing Secretary Tumulty were as follows: "We, the Committee of the Negro Silent Protest Parade, in which 15,000 colored men, women, and children took part last Saturday in New York, come to present to you and through you to the President and Congress a petition for redress of certain grievances. We come representing not only the Negro Silent Protest Parade, but the colored people of Greater New York, and the sentiments and aspirations and sorrows, too, of the entire Negro population of the United States. "We come representing twelve million citizens whose devotion and loyalty to the nation have never been questioned—twelve million citizens who, when the present storm broke over our land, took their unqualified stand side by side with the original American stocks that landed at Plymouth Rock and at Jamestown. "We feel that in coming to you, we are well within our rights—the right given by birth, the right given by labor, and the right given by loyalty. We feel, further, that it is especially fitting that we come at this time when the heart of the nation is so deeply touched by the cause of democracy and of humanity. "We come asking that the President use his great powers to have granted to us some redress for the grievances set forth in our petition, and we come, further, praying that the President may find it in his heart to speak some public word that will give hope and courage to our people, thus using his great personal and moral influence in our behalf. "And to these ends, I have the honor to read and respectfully present the following petition: "To the President and Congress of the United States: "We, the Committee of the Negro Silent Protest, Parade, representing the colored people of Greater New York and the sentiment of the people of Negro descent throughout this land, come to you to present a petition for redress of grievances. "In the last thirty-one years 2,807 colored men and women have been lynched by mobs without trial. Less than half a dozen persons out of the tens of thousands involved have received any punishment whatsoever for these crimes, and not a single one has been punished for murder. In addition to this mobs have harried and murdered colored citizens time and time again with impunity, culminating in the latest atrocity at East St. Louis where nearly a hundred innocent, hardworking citizens were done to death in broad daylight for seeking to earn an honest living. "We believe that this spirit of lawlessness is doing untold injury to our country and we submit that the record proves that the States are either unwilling or unable to put down lynching and mob violence. "We ask, therefore, that lynching and mob violence be made a national crime punishable by the laws of the United States and that this be done by Federal enactment, or if necessary, by constitutional amendment. We believe that there can be found in recent legislation abundant precedent for action of this sort, and whether this be true or not, no nation that seeks to fight the battles of civilization can afford to march in blood-smeared garments. "We ask, therefore, immediate action by the Congress and the President of the United States. "Signed—Rev. F. A. Cullen, Chairman; James Weldon Johnson, Vice-Chairman; Rev. Charles D. Martin, John E.

Medical Reserve Corps and is expected to receive a call very soon to join the colors.

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH DENIED COLORED EDITOR Issue of Richmond Planet Barred From United States Richmond, Va., Aug. 4.—The Post Office authorities here held up the today's issue of the Richmond, Va. Planet, pending further instructions on account of the publication therein of an article from Uzziah Miner, former editor of the Howard University Journal, Howard University, Washington, D. C. Miner apoke for himself only and gave reasons for not entering the United States Army as a volunteer. He called upon President Wilson to speak out against the East St. Louis. Ill-riots as ex-President Roosevelt had done and wanted the Department of Justice to bring the guilty parties to a "strict accountability." Editor John Mitchell, Jr., upon inquiry was informed by Postmaster Hay T. Thornton that the action was not taken on account of any editorial utterances, but solely on account of the matter contained in this contributed communication. An attempt to secure the return of eighteen sacks of mail today was without result and the information was given that a final decision in this matter would be taken up Monday. Editor Mitchell is endowing to find out if the constitutional guarantees of citizenship have been suspended and by what rule the management of the paper must be guided in the absence of an established censorship by the Congress at Washington. WESTMORELAND DAVIS The Democratic party in Virginia held a State primary Tuesday, August 7, for the purpose of nominating candidates for State offices from Governor down. Nomination at the hands of a Democratic primary in Virginia is equivalent to election, as there is little opposition from Republicans in the general elections. In a three cornered fight for the nomination for governor between Westmorland Davis, J. Taylor Elllyson and John Garland Pollard, Mr. Davis received a plurality of more than five thousand and the nomination. Mr. R. C. Stearns, the present State superintendent of education was defeated for renomination by Mr. Harris Hart of Kanoke. Secretary of State, B. O. James will continue to hold his office, having won out over his opponent. John R. Saunders will succeed John Garland Pollard as attorney general. For local State offices there was a spirited contest and some surprises among Democrats. Mr. A. P. Pannil defeated Mr. E. J. Doran, the encumbent, for the nomination for commissioner of revenue. Mr. O. L. Shackelford was nominated for commonwealth's attorney by a safe plurality over several candidates. City treasurer; B. G. Tannall will continue to hold his office, having defeated his opponent, Mr. Victor Parks. For the house of delegates Messrs. John W. Cherry and E. Griffith Dodson were nominated. Dr. James G. Riddick was nominated for the office of city sergeant over Mr. Claude Hudgins, the encumbent and was not counted out, contrary to usual custom. There is talk among the Republicians in some sections of the State of putting a ticket in the field to be voted for in the November election, but as this is not a presidential year there will not be much doing along that line. EMANCIPATION ASSOCIATION. The last called meeting of the Emancipation Association for the second Monday night in August is called off on account of the warm weather. The Executive Board of the Emancipation Association will meet the third Friday night, August 17, 1917, at 8 p. m. in the home of the Financial Secretary, E. A. White, on Hull Street near Church on the south side. All chairmen of committees and officers are asked to be present without failure. Come rain or shine. G. W. Giddings, President. M. E. Nelson, Rec.

S. Sailors. POLICE AND CITIZENS ACT Committee of Public Safety Appealed To When Serious Race Clash Seemed Inevitable In view of the several efforts upon the part of United States sailors from the Norfolk naval training station to incite a race riot in Norfolk, a number of colored citizens held a conference at the Young Men's Christian Association last Monday at noon and issued the following statement: "There have been several published accounts of threatened outbreaks of a serious nature on the part of young white enlisted men and of actual clashes between some of these white sailors and colored civilians. As a result there is a very strongly felt desire on the part of the colored citizens to be certain of ample protection on the part of the Police Department or such other agency for the enforcement of the law as the exigency might demand. "Moreover, it is their patriotic desire that no such unnecessary and useless an occurrence as a race riot should be allowed to put a new and powerful argument in the mouths of rival Northern cities against the extensive local improvements now being made or contemplated by the Federal Government and to cause the labor shortage and unsettled wage market that would inevitably follow—all to the discredit of our city and against her forward movement. "After two very satisfactory conferences with his Honor Mayor Mayo and the Committee of Public Safety as to what steps should be taken on the part of colored citizens to help avert the impending trouble between the race groups in question, we now, therefore, be to be allowed to 'do our bit' by requesting through your columns "(1) That the colored citizens out of patriotic considerations will be patient and refrain from all incendiary remarks to or about the sailors now in training here or those who will take their place in the future, "(2) That the white citizens, on whose part there is the friendliest feeling toward our race, will raise their voice and exert their influence for the strengthening of the arm of the law in its effort to forestall bloodshed and riot and for the averting here of the bitterness of feeling between the races which always follows race riots, "(3) That the thinking ones among the enlisted men will advise the young and thoughtless element among them against such unlawful practices as have characterized some of them for the past several nights in succession. "(4) That the whole citizenship reflect that just these same repeats of lawlessness have preceded race riots and massacres in every city where such have occurred. "In conclusion, we think it would not be out of the way for us to point out that recently the most atrocious and brutal outbreaks on record on the part of armed mobs against defenseless and disarmed Negroes have taken place in various sections of the country and that as yet no strong, positive voice here in Norfolk has been heard publicly against such. "We feel that the most effective way to prevent such a disgraceful occurrence in our own city is to have its papers and its public spirited citizen by frequent counsel against and condemnation of such outbreaks to would a strong public sentiment in favor of law and order and to steel the popular mind against giving credence to the inflammatory statements which would be used to fire on a mob once there were actual bloodshed. "Respectfully, "S. S. MORRIS, J. McDONALD, N. D. KING, G. JARVIS BOWENS, P. B. YOUNG, RICHARD H. BOWLING, "Colored Citizens Committee." CONFERENCE WITH PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. Following the conference at the X. M. C. A., a committee consisting of Lawyers J. Eugene Diggs, Jas. M. Harrison and Walter L. Davis, Dr. G. Jarvis Bowens, Editor P. B. Young and Dr. Columbus Maxwell had a conference with the Committee on Public Safety and the commissioned officers of the Norfolk Home Guards, meeting jointly, and after a discussion of the causes of the recent disturbances between sailors and colored residents urged that prompt and vigorous measures be taken to prevent further trouble and to insure the colored population ample police protection. It was learned at this conference that the police department had already taken up with the Naval authorities the matter of the conduct of enlisted men in this city and had asked for assistance in handling them. Monday night a provost guard from warships in the harbor was placed on duty in the city to preserve order among the sailors. WANTED—Colored men to prepare for Civil Service Examinations.

Sunday School ten a. m., morning prayer and sermon, eleven a. m., evening prayer and sermon, six p. m. Rev. Meade Birchett, Miss Etta McGhee, Dr. W. E. Reid and Mr. William Jennings represented the different organizations of the church at the convocation which was in session at LaCrosse, Va. during the week. The children of St. James have resumed their regular Wednesday afternoon sport on the church lawn. The "musicale" held last week at 602 North street, was a decided success in spite of the intense heat. There was a good attendance and those who made the sacrifice to come were fully repaid as the program was most excellent. Miss Sykes, who was presented by Chap. III, captivated her hearers with her sweet voice as did those who assisted her, viz: Mrs. Carolyn Harrison, Misses Lillian Patterson, Myrtle Knight, Fannie Marshall, Vivien France, Marie Thomas. Ten dollars were realized. The ladies extend thanks to all who aided in any way to make the event a success. Emanuel Church Notes. Sunday morning at eleven a. m., Dr. E. H. Hunter preached from the theme "Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand." The sermon was filled with instruction and zeal, enthusing the hearts of his hearers to the extent that three connected themselves with the church. Dr Hunter has been given a vacation which he very greatly needs. He and family left Monday morning. It is our hope that their stay will be pleasant and beneficial. Next Sunday the Rev. E. W. Spratley will preach both morning and night. He is one of the ministers of the Virginia Conference who went from this church. All will be glad to have him with us. Chinese Chorus Girls. In some Chinese theaters the stage manager has an economical custom of employing dummy figures cut out of cardboard and the like to swell the ranks of the chorus without at the same time swelling the salary list.

The cordial and courteous hearing that the Norfolk Committee of Public Safety acting jointly with the commissioned officers of the several companies of Home Guards gave the committee of colored citizens that conferred with them in regard to the recent clashes in this city between enlisted men and colored civilians, and the prompt and vigorous action that was taken to prevent any recurrence of the trouble is exceedingly gratifying to the colored committee and citizens as a whole, and decidedly creditable to the men who were acting in this exigency as the guardians of law and order in the city. When the situation had reached the acute stage, and it was apparent that the police was powerless to prevent further and more serious trouble, a colored citizen called Major Wallice Truxton over the 'phone and made an appointment for the committee of colored men with the Committee of Public Safety. With characteristic vigor and promptness Major Truxton assembled his committee and also the commissioned officers within a very short time, and the promptness with which the full committee and the full corps of officers responded is another evidence of their sense of responsibility to the whole population of the city and their ability and willingness to conserve its best interests.

Without hesitation prompt and vigorous measures were taken to control the lawless sailors and afford colored citizens more ample protection. The fact that Norfolk did not have a disastrous race riot during the past week is due wholly to the counsel and co-operation of the cool heads of both races with those charged with the responsibility of enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order. A CONGRESSMAN RESIGNS. Congressman Holland, representing the old Virginia district has announced his intention to resign his seat and retire from Congress early date. The Democrats, with whom the election of a successor to Mr. Holland rests, have talking of an available man to fill the vacant among those mentioned is Mr. Maurice Long, of Norfolk. While this is the Democrat in a political sense, it concerns in any way all the citizens of the district, and we express the sentiments of a very large number of voters and taxpayers outside of the static party in hoping that they will name Holland's successor the best man available. I do not know whether Mr. Long is an aspire office, or whether he would accept the offered him, but we feel certain that he selected, make the district a most acceptable representative in Congress. As for the "straightouts" he did much to democratic politics in Norfolk county, and since in politics throughout the district, has been elevating and helpful. The fact that he has never sought nor accepted an office, makes him all the more worthy, of his valuable services, to represent the Congress. Congressman Holland, representing the second Virginia district has announced his intention to resign his seat and retire from Congress at an early date. The Democrats, with whom the selection of a successor to Mr. Holland rests, have been talking of an available man to fill the vacancy, and among those mentioned is Mr. Maurice G. Long, of Norfolk. While this is the Democrats' affair in a political sense; it concerns in a larger way all the citizens of the district, and we probably express the sentiments of a very large number of voters and taxpayers outside of the Democratic party in hoping that they will name as Mr. Holland's successor the best man available. We do not know whether Mr. Long is an aspirant for the office, or whether he would accept the honor if offered him, but we feel certain that he would, if elected, make the district a most acceptable and efficient representative in Congress. As leader of the "straightouts" he did much to dignify Democratic politics in Norfolk county, and his influence in politics throughout the district and state, has been elevating and helpful. The very fact that he has never sought nor accepted political office, makes him all the more worthy, in view of his valuable services, to represent the district in Congress. DR. HOLLIS BURKE FRISSELL. The death of Dr. Frissell, which occurred on Sunday, August 5th, at his Summer home in Bampshire, brought grief not only to the ex-students and graduates of Hampton State, but to all persons everywhere who knew him. His death also removed from the education a man of great vision, of deep knowledge of unusual administrative ability. Group of educational specialists Dr. Frissel leader. He was great in learning, great in face and occupied a high position, but in these things he was the friend and counsellor meek and lowly. Like Gen. Armstrong The death of Dr. Frissell, which occurred Sunday, August 5th, at his Summer home in New Hampshire, brought grief not only to thousands of ex-students and graduates of Hampton Institute, but to all persons everywhere who knew the man. His death also removed from the field of education a man of great vision, of deep learning and of unusual administrative ability. In any group of educational specialists Dr. Frissell was a leader. He was great in learning, great in experience and occupied a high position, but in spite of these things he was the friend and counsellor of the meek and lowly. Like Gen. Armstrong, whom he succeeded as principal of Hampton, and like our own lamented Booker Washington, whom he helped to train, Dr. Frissell left an enduring monument to himself in the hearts of thousands whose privilege it was to come under his influence as a teacher and as a Christian leader. The cause of education in general has sustained a great loss in THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE DIRT ROADS OF NORFOLK. those who have been forced to endure just the deplorable condition of the dirt the section of the city known as Hunter Barboursville, found some encouragement announcement appearing in Tuesday's paper that the Board of Control would be to the council the appropriation of $10, burbing and macadamizing some of its issues. The action of the board was the proof of a vigorous protest lodged with the day morning by a group of citizens re- flecting the neighborhood of Denhart and Dart Rivers, whose spokesman was Mr. C. A. H. Some encouragement to have the asses- sure the board was interested in the inter- signified portrayal of conditions in the area to and gave expression to the con- dition. "We consider the condition of these the winter season, or after much rain, to reach to the city and a menace to the city." That is not all. Their condition uses a rank injustice and a serious ha- nge in many ways to the people who have to suffer them, and who pay taxes upon their pro- sibility for the purpose of receiving and proportion of municipal improvements. Many teamsters live in this section wi- thable except with great difficulty and ha- d at their teams from their stables to their back again. Besides these citizens and the handicapped and inconvenienced in the city of coal and wood and other com- mercial homes. Some merchants handling goods have discontinued deliveries on altogether.

ESTIMATE OF OUR SIZE POLITICAL A correspondent who believes that the sitious time for the colored citizens wi- selves on the map politically," get to business and proposes a tentative ing the editor of this paper as an ad- for the city council. We appreciate the event but cannot help from wondering with small job was picked out for us. We decide to denur at a slate that propos- itional contemporary, John Mitchell, former, while offering us nothing better at in the city council. Those who have been forced to endure under protest the deplorable condition of the dirt roads in the section of the city known as Huntersville and Barboursville, found some encouragement in the announcement appearing in Tuesday morning's paper that the Board of Control would recommend to the council the appropriation of $20,000 for curbing and macadamizing some of these streets. The action of the board was the outcome of a vigorous protest lodged with the board Monday morning by a group of citizens residing in the neighborhood of Denhart and Dunbar Streets, whose spokesman was Mr. C. A. Palmer. It is some encouragement to have the assurance that the board was interested in the intelligent and dignified portrayal of conditions in the section referred to and gave expression to the conviction that: "We consider the condition of these streets in the winter season, or after much rain, to be a reproach to the city and a menace to the public health." That is not all. Their condition constitutes a rank injustice and a serious handicap in many ways to the people who have to reside upon them, and who pay taxes upon their property ostensibly for the purpose of receiving an equitable proportion of municipal improvements. A great many teamsters live in this section who are not able except with great difficulty and hardship to get their teams from their stables to their work and back again. Besides these citizens are seriously handicapped and inconvenienced in the delivery of coal and wood and other commodities to their homes. Some merchants handling certain commodities have discontinued deliveries in the section altogether. Then there is the always present danger of a fire in the section, in the event of which there would be a wholesale destruction of property as it is physically impossible for the fire apparatus to reach the section in seasons of damp weather. In the event of a conflagration that would certainly destroy nearly all of the entire section the city authorities would be guilty of criminal neglect. Fire insurance rates are excessively high on account of these conditions, and this in itself constitutes a discrimination against the residents of the section. In addition to these hindrances there is another and more serious phase of the subject. The whole situation is a grave menace to not only the health of the population of the section in question but to the entire city. The conditions also impose an unusual hardship upon the people who reside upon these streets in as much as insurance companies regard them as being undesirable risks on account of their insanitary environments. A man who resides in the section recently applied for insurance and while he passed an excellent physical examination was rejected because of the insanitary environments in which he is compelled to live. The citizens should leave no stone unturned in their efforts to have the recommendation of the board acted upon favorably by the council. If the city can afford to spend $40,000 to improve county roads and $75,000 to pave a street that is already paved, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in contemplated improvements in other sections of the city, it can afford in the name of humanity and in the name of justice to spend a few thousand dollars to remove a situation that is pronounced by its Board of Control as being a reproach to the city. AN ESTIMATE OF OUR SIZE POLITICALLY. A correspondent who believes that this is a propitious time for the colored citizens to "put themselves on the map politically," gets right down to business and proposes a tentative ticket, naming the editor of this paper as an available man for the city council. We appreciate the compliment but cannot help from wondering why such a small job was picked out for us. We do not hesitate to demur at a slate that proposes our journalistic contemporary, John Mitchell, Jr. for governor, while offering us nothing better than a seat in the city council.

But then I have a few things to say to you this week, for I have seen some things that were worth seeing and then I have seen some things that are not worth writing about. Getting over this America is one of the things which should claim the attention of thoughtful people, for it is an easy thing to do. Let me spend a few hours with you in Virginia, then jump to Mississippi, and perhaps tell how I reached them places, and you will know as much as I do, or a little more, for you still have all you know and added to that all I know. The Baptists of Virginia celebrated their anniversary as I told you, and it was a great celebration. They called it "Jubilee," and it was one. It was the 50th anniversary of their work, and I don't know as I have ever seen so much money in gold since I have been a member of your race, and thus far I have never been a member of any other race, and my chances to get in any other race seem slim now. I am just going to remain with you until I die. Let me not get away from the celebration. It was held in Lynchburg, on Seminary Hill, on the campus of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. This is the institution planted by the fathers many years ago. Most of the pioneers have gone on and left it to the sons. The men whose lives were spent in the work were: G.W. Hayes, the president; B.F. Fox, secretary of the convention for many years, and R.H. Bowling, president of the convention until his death. I am sure they would like to have been with the boys and told about their impression of the work, but this was denied them by death. Rev. A. A. Galvin, president of the Baptist State convention; Mrs. E. P. Fox, president of the Women's Educational convention; Prof. J. S. Lee, president of the State Sunday School Convention; R. C. Mitchell, president of the B. Y. P. U. convention, all had their time, and all presided over their respective conventions. The opening session was jibbitly, but after they had gotten through with that they held separate session. The big convention was under a tent, the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U., under a tent jointly, and the women in the college chapel. Just think of four conventions going on at the same time and all looking to the same great end, getting rid of the college debt, and helping the higher things to get within reach of the race. Rev. W. F. Graham, of Philadelphia, was on hand. He was a factor in Virginia life for a number of years, and left when called to Philadelphia from Richmond five or six years ago. He not only came himself, but brought with him many people from all parts of the country, or from Pennsylvania, and some money to book the preacher he saw, and send some sorrow and aid to great things from the text "The Lord hath done great things for us," getting that out of the Bible. Then there were others. Rev. C. T. Walker, was booked for a sermon, but he did not get there, so Rev. R. Kept, pastor of the Morris Street Baptist Church, Charleston, S. C., preached the sermon; Rev. S. A. Brown, was on to do some talking, but he gave his place to the Rev. L. G. Jordan, and it was interesting to hear Dr. Jordan tell about his recent trip to Africa, and what it meant to the people. He is one great talker. You see he is the corresponding secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention; and there was Rev. L. K. Williams, from Chicago, pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church, and a figure in the National Baptist Convention; Rev. William F. Craft, of the National B. Y. P. U. Board, and then were the great men from Virginia, Rev. W. W. Brown, from New York; Henry Allen Boyd, from Nashville, Tenn; T. P. Smith, the evangelist from Kentucky; Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., of Washington, D. C., a great worker, and man who brought along some money to help to pay the expenses, and help to get the school out of debt. I could just mention many of them. I want to pay a tribute to the young mon, for they did figure. Rev. S. A. Moses, of Danville, was chairman of the Jubilee Committee, and he made a good chairman, and rejoiced at the success of that great meeting. He preached the Jubilee sermon. Then I could mention in this connection another great man, Dr. A. A. Galvin, president of the convention; Rev. J. H. Burks, from Pennsylvania; Rev. R. H. Bowling, the son of his father, who is succeeding nicely in that fine church which was erected and paid for by his father before his death. I could tell you many things about him. Then another educated and worker was Rev. Dr. Hall, Rev. Thomas H. White, the corresponding secretary, Deacon A. Humble. Now I have mentioned all of these, but I have not said a word about the educational leader of the Virginia Baptists. One of the most intellectual men, and at the same time a modest man in the race is the Rev. Dr. R. C. Woods, president of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College, the school of the Baptists. This young man is doing a wonderful work, and while he is not making much fuss he is just going right along making things happen. It was my pleasure to touch him from time to time. The Baptists raised over $13,000 for their work. I shall now have to stop, and will tell you about it, next week and other things. HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE When the mother sat complacently by the window with her baby, quoting the first portion of this very familiar poem, little did she think that she was drawing the youngster's attention to his worse enemy so far as his health was concerned. Neither did the poet know or appreciate the rightful place of the fly in the affairs of human kind, when he undertook the then pleasant task through his poetic genius, to sing of his majesty's dignity, the fly. If there is any common enemy to the human family, that has the peculiar attribute of "omnapresence" so far as things earthly are concerned, it is the fly. There is no place you can go without getting an unsolicited introduction to this most companionable friend. But his friendship is of a kind that needs not to be sought or commended. For the prevailing characteristics of this creature are evil and woe. There seems to be no purposeful end in his existence other than to lend a hand at all times to those forces or factors that work against health. It has just been a few years back, when the scientific contingency of the world began to view the fly from a different angle from the poet, and looked upon the fly with suspicion, and classed him with the evil forces of the human family. Then by degrees, evidences, through investigation and research of damaging nature was brought against him and the conclusions of all, who sought to analyze him and give him his merited place or station in life, are in accord that nothing short of a vitable warfare should be waged against this enemy and exterminate him. And since that time there has been no let-up to swat the fly. Because the fly is a carrier of those This is the psychological moment for Negroes to begin to put themselves on the map politically. We must throw og our lethargy and indifference. Democracy for Negroes. Participation in our own government which claims to "derive its just powers from the consent of the governed" must be sought. Conferences and conventions in every district and throughout the State should be called to discuss this all important subject. All classes of our people should be consulted. And after same discussion and deliberation a platform of progressive principles should be adopted, such as proportional representation, I. R. & R., better schools, Torren's Land System, Old Age and Un-employment Pensions, Public Ownership, etc. The following ticket would serve to rally our voters and form a nucleus for better and larger things. Remember candidates should be nominated for every office to be filled at the next election, not win but we must get the habit. For Governor—John Mitchell, Richmond, Va. For Attorney General—J. T. Newsome, Newport News, Va. Delegates--Atty. W. L. Davis, Dr. C. R. S. Collins. Councilmen—P. B. Young, E. M Canaday, M. R. Jackson. Sir—There are things that hinder us as a race to fulfill the duty of a man. There are some who think the colored sailors are with the majority of roudies that want to be bad and it behooves the best of us to avoid the worst of us. I want to use the columns of your newspaper to say to the best citizens of Norfolk that there are always black goats in every crowd of sheep. Now I know the average colored people as a whole through my experience as a newspaper man, that you can not determine the whole lot of the colored that are here. I will say this much, that the majority of the boys are young, without any experience whatever, and want social privilege and not the privilege of being bad. Now we as a people should have a mutual understanding between the colored sailors and citizens of Norfolk, it has been so very much the talk of the camp. I do think it would be wise for me to try any investigation of friendly relations, as a matter of fact, you can believe me when I tell you that as I have stated, we are all one people and should have an understanding between the people as everybody likes social privileges at some periods of the week.

THE GRUMBLER COLORED ENLISTED MEN. Editor Journal and Guide EARNING WHILE LEARNING Saturday, August 11, 1917 diseases which especially disturb the health of the people at this season and when he is most in evidence, wisdom dictates watchfulness and destruction of the fly. A good deal has been accomplished, and a good deal is being accomplished by swatting the fly. But the best way after all in getting rid of this pest and to exterminate him, is to swat the conditions that give him birth and growth. To prevent his coming into our lives is far better than getting rid of him after he nuts in his appearance. To do this we must keep things about us clean. Filth of every kind must not remain exposed so that the fly will find harboring. Rottening, decayable and putrefactive materials should be disposed of by burning or burying deep beneath soil some considerable distance from human habitation. Garbage cans in the city and town and the swill barrel and pens, and stables in the country must be kept up to the standard of hygienic requirement as conditions permit, so that flies can't breed and multiply. In the immediate vicinity of the dwelling house, no waste of any kind should be allowed to remain any longer than when it is discovered. Removal at once is very necessary in order that flies will not find a tasting place. Dish water, which is very attractive to flies, should not be thrown around the porch, steps and out of the window. The fruits of the season, such as cantaloupes, water melons, etc., are common used now, and it is very common to see the rinds and seeds tassed about promiscuously about the yard and premises. These are the conditions that create flies and these are the conditions that must be swatted first in order that you may take care of the fly problem. In proportion that these unhealthful conditions are made healthful, in the same proportion we will be able to get rid of the fly, and reduce our sickness and worry, and live a freer life from disease.

Saturday, August 11, 1917 CLOSE OF FAYETTEVILLE SUMMER SCHOOL Largely Attended And Successful Session At Colored State Normal. Fayetteville, N. C.—Last Friday witnessed the close of one of the most successful summer sessions ever held at the Fayetteville State Colored Normal. The body of teachers in attendance represented about one-third of the counties in the State, with the States of South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia included. The personnel of the teachers was imposing. One of the lecturers, in the course of his address, referred to the members of the Summer School as the finest body of colored teachers it had ever been his privilege to meet. The Instructors were selected because of their rare fitness by training and experience; being graduates from some of the most reputable institutions of learning opened to the race in the country. The lecturers composed of white and colored educators represented the best thought of the time. The sociological address by Dr. N. C. Newbold was grand in conception, sublime in simplicity, and was received with rapt attention. The address by Prof. C. L. W. Smith was, indeed, an able and eloquent effort, and was both inspiring and uplifting to the teachers. The patriotic address by Hon. J. D. McNeill was a classic and eloquent one. It was greatly enjoyed; so were the addresses of Dr. G. M. Cooper, representative of the State Board of Health; Rev. J. S. Snyder, Rev. W. J. Heritage, Prof. G. W. Herring and others. Work and Play. The instructors and teachers attending the Summer School did not only work diligently for six hours daily in the class room; but they enjoyed the play or social features also. The management was careful to see that opportunity was given folk plays, tag parties, lawn seats and refreshments. Visits to Liberty Point where the first Declaration of independence to British rule was entered into by patriots; the famous silk mills operated by hundreds of colored young men and young women, as well as to other points of interest. Competing Singers. Two days before the closing of the Summer School two musical young ladies, noted for their proficiency in piano playing, organized classes to compete in singing at the close. The Industrial Exhibit was a fine showing in sewing, canning, basketry, chair caning, drawing, various forms of shuck work, etc., to which the visitors paid high compliment. The committee on resolutions recommended more thoroughness in fundamentals, unceasing efforts for better school houses in rural districts and that teachers who attend Summer Schools and Institutes be given first consideration at the hands of the school authorities. The authorifies, the management and faculty were all kindly remembered by the committee. The conductor of the Summer School is taking a short vacation at the seashore, before the fall term of his school begins. THE ROCKY MOUNT SUMMER NORMAL (By J. Riley Dungee) It was given to Booker T. Washington to become the most illustrious product of Franklin County, but the honor of becoming its greatest educational benefactor belongs to W. F. Grasty. For nearly thirty years principal in the Danville public schools, a dozen years pastor of one of its progressive churches, he has yet found time to devote to both the religious and educational interests of the people of Franklin. In grateful recognition of his unselfish service, the citizens denominate him their modern Moses. During the past two summers Prof. Grasty has conducted a successful teachers' institute at Rocky Mount, the county seat. Of all the places in the state, none stands more in need of such an institute, and it is doubtful if any profited by one. Where teachers attend normals merely to renew certificates, their work may be more or less perfunctory and profitless; but where they go to make certificates or to raise those held, as most of the Rocky Mount teachers did, the most diligent application and the most satisfactory results may be expected. Assisting Prof. Grasty were Miss Evelyn Jones of Portsmouth, Mrs. Euford, Danville, Mr. W. A. Bond, Franklin, E. D. Mickle, Durham, and J. Riley Dungee, Norfolk. WILMINGTON, N. C. (T. H Snead). Mrs. C. A. Robinson, of Buffalo, N. Y., was in the city last week visiting Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Nonner. Miss N. A. Thompson, of Sumter, S. C., was the guest of Mr. Norman Lindsey last week. Miss Nettie McGee and Mr. Davis, of Chicago, ill., were married last Thursday night, Rev. D. B. Mdodona officiating. Mr. E. W. Burnett, the popular grocerman, died in New York last week. Mr. Burnett went there on business and was taken ill. The funeral was held at St. Stephens A. M. E. Church, the Odd Fellows and Masons having charge of the services. Rev. A. J. Wilson preached the sermon. Mr. B. A. Gavin, who went with the number North last spring, has returned where he expects to remain hereafter. Mrs. Smithy Carr, who has been sick for several weeks is able to be up again. Miss Lillie Walker, of Burgaw, N. C., is very sick at this writing. Mrs. D. B. Mdodona is on the sick list. Her friends are anxious to have her recover. Miss Bessie Burke spent Sunday in Petersburg with friends. WANTED 200 Colored Laborers Report At Once E. I. Dupont-Denemours Co. HOPEWELL, VA.

Davis, Georgia Roberts, Hatcher and Miss Lavinia Tynes, our delegates, attended the Disti- trict Conference and Sunday School institute at Princess Anne, C. H., Va. This was a delightful meeting from every standpoint and a full report of the District Conference will appear later. The John M. Brown Sunday school and church leads the Richmond District. Sunday a.m. m. Rev. Hatcher preached from Psalms 119:105 and used as a subject, "A light in the dark." The Holy Bible is this light, answering the question of "Who am I?" "Whence am I?" and "Whither am I going?" At night he preached from Eph. 5:33. "The happy home life." He presented some striking thoughts contrary to popular thinking, but said that "This doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me." Come to Bible class Wednesday night, the fifteenth and hear a fuller understanding of your duties as husbands and wives. Mr. John McCann, a recent convert was baptized at eleven a.m. Collection for the day. $23.00. Last month the Steward's department raised for all purposes about $05.00. Next Sunday is rally booster's day. Be on time—just one month before Gog and Mercor meet in the battle of Armageddon. Let every one nut on the whole armor of prayer, service and giving. Come to our Sunday school at ninethirty. It is one of the best in the connection—a live, growing Sunday school. Second Calvary Baptist Church (Mrs. E. D. Bailev) Last Sunday our services were well attended. At eleven-thirty Rev. L. W. C. Metz filled our pulpit and preached from 2:12. His sermon was was very forceful and impressive. At 2:30 our pastor, Rev. C. P. Madison, choir and congregation and friends left on the Atlantic Terminal for Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, where they were greeted by the pastor of that church, Rev. Maloy. There he preached one of his best sermons. Surely the Holy Spirit was speaking through him. At eight p. m. he filled his pulpit and preached a wide awake sermon from John 4:4. "And he must need to go through Sanurina." After telling us why we were satisfied to believe the message. Sister Helen Williams of Pulaski street is indisposed. Sister Hattie Henley, who has been sick quite a while desires to see more of her members and friends. Next Sunday our rally will close. Those who have pleaded will please bring in their contributions at the morning or evening service. Our church work is progressing. We are adding new numbers nearly every Sunday. The Lord is wonderfully blessing us. Friends are always welcome to our services. St. John's A, M. E. Church Notes.

When God would use a man for the advancement of His kingdom neither heredity nor environment can be a hindrance; as is brought out in the study of the life and reign of Josiah in Israel. It is requested that each member give special consideration to the study of this lesson and come prepared to take part in the discussion. Visitors are cordially invited—Alex Gregory. "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY" 19 "BLACK BILLY SUNDAY" NOW PREACHING HERE. The above is a likeness of Rev. Dr. Alexander Wilbanks, of Washin- D. C., known the world over as the "Black Billy Sunday." Dr. Wil is now preaching nightly at Jerusalem Baptist church, Queen and I streets, and is drawing great crowds. IN MEMORIAM In sad but loving remembrance of our son, John Harvey Winchester, who was born June June 18, 1899 and died August 8, 1916. He grew up as the rose of Sharon, Hid from the stormy blast; But could not stand the cruel grasp, Of Death's cold ice hands. Alus, he's gone but not: forgotten. Gone to his peaceful rest; Torn from mother's aching breast, Still Jesus knows and does what's bust. From the Mother and Father, 710 A Avenue, Norfolk, Virginia. JUST A CORRECTION At the Hampton Alumnae Banquet, July 19, the "splendid orchestra which disposed wonderful music throughout the evening to the great pleasure of the assembled guests" was not Carter's, as mentioned in last week's paper, but Kemp's Famous Orchestra of Norfolk. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. J. HARVEY L. BAXTER PRAISEWORTHY MUSE WILL BE PUBLISHED YEARLY DURING WAR TIME On account of the abnormal state of the country, occasioned by the drafting for military service millions of its young men whose absence from the customary pursuits of life will clog to a great extent the wheels of many private and public industries, we have decided to make "Praisworthy Muse" a yearly publication during war time. It might be of interest for the public to know also that the editor has been caught in the conscription draft net and may have to see service in Europe for his country, which he will gladly serve if he is considered fit to do so. Another handicap to the publication was the resignation of Mr. Charles S. Morris, Jr., general representative of the magazine, who is now active in a campaign to raise one million dollars for the relief of colored French war orphans. Yet amidst these stormy periods through which our country is passing our quarterly has not fallen into any insolvent rut and neither is it going out of business. Now for the benefit of those who cannot bear with us in these hours of stress and storm, we are glad to announce that we will return to each individual subscriber any or all monies on unexpired numbers. The amount can be had by addressing "Praiseworthy Muse," 711 Highland Avenue, Norfolk, Va. On January 1st, we will publish a beautiful forty page number of the "Muse" containing all the good matter we have in hand now and a great deal of other material that we expect during the coming fall and early winter. Remember that "PRAISEWORTHY MUSE" will be published yearly during War Time and quarterly afterwards. Alexander Wilbanks, of Washington, Black Billy Sunday." Dr. Wilbanks Baptist church, Queen and Boush VOCATIONAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS ASKED BY LEAGUE New York Organization: Receives favorable Reply From Education Board! As a result of the conference outrage training opportunities for New York city girls held sometime ago at the residence of Miss Virginia Potter on West Serenity-sixth street, New York, at the call of the National Urban League a hearing on the subject before the committee on recreational training of the board of education was held the second Friday in June. Of the representatives of the twenty-six pionting organizations those who spokes in behalf of increasing the facilities for trade training were Miss Virginia, Cutter, president of the board of directors of the Manhattan Trade School for Girls; Miss Elizabeth Walton, Miss Margaret Brown, secretary vocational scholarship committee of the Heary Street settlement; Miss Cecilia Calahans, executive secretary, colored branch Y. W. C. A.; Eugene Knickle Jones, executive secretary National Urban league; Jasper Theobold, principal public School No. 80. John Martin, chairman of the vocational committee of the board of education, stated that his committee looked favorably upon the extension of the facilities for vocational training for girls under high school grade and appointed a committee from the educational department to confer with a committee of three from the petitioners on courses of training to be offered next September. The committee from the petitioners are Miss Virginia Potter, Miss Mangaret Brown and E. K. Jones. MISS BAKER LEADS CLASS. Cambridge Girl Wins Highest Honors In Class of 250. It is a pleasure to role the number of graduates from the different schools in Greater Boston for the school year 1917, which by far exceeds the number of former years. Some will enter institutions of higher learning; others will go into the various occupations as they see fit. Whatever capacity of work they may be engaged in, we hope that their previous training will be an incentive for continued study and perseverance in order to be prepared to meet the necessary requirements in life, says the Boston Guardian. Miss Urmann M. Baker of 77 Prentiss street graduated from the Cambridge English high and Latin school with the proud distinction of winning the highest honor out of a class of 250 girls. She delivered the salutatory address on "Success" before the largest crowd that ever assembled for a graduation at Sanders theater. Never before in Cambridge, the city noted for its schools and colleges of learning, has a colored girl achieved such honors, and today not only her parents, who, we know, feel proud, but the whole race. Join in the praise of this great honor. During the four years of her attendance she has never been late or absent. GOOD BREEDING. Good sense must in many cases determine good breeding, because the same thing that would be civil at one time and to one person may be quite otherwise at another time and to another person, but there are some general rules of good breeding that hold always true and in all cases. -Choesterfield.

SAYS A GLASS OF HOT WATER EVERY MORNING BEFORE BREAKFAST WILL TAKE OFF FAT IF YOU GET MORE FRESH AIR. Be Moderate In Your Diet and Reduce Your Weight With Tassco Lack of fresh air weakens the oxygen-carrying power of the blood; the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumulates and the action of many of the vital organs are hindered thereby. The heart action becomes weak, work is an effort and the beauty of the figure is destroyed. Fat put on by indoor life is unhealthy and if moisture is not assisted in throwing it off by increasing the oxygen-carrying power of the blood, a serious case of obesity may result. When you feel that you are getting too stout, take the matter in hand at once. Don't wait until your figure has become a joke and your health ruined through carrying around a burden of unsightly and unhealthy face. Spend as much time as you possibly can in the open air; breathe deeply, and get from either of Burrow Martin's four stores or Stroke Drug Co., a box of Tassco, take a glass of hot water every morning before breakfast then take Tassco after each meal and at bedtime. Weigh yourself every few days and keep up the treatment until you are down to normal. Tassco is absolutely harmless, is pleasant to take, helps the digestion and is designed to increase the oxygen-carrying power of the blood. Even a few days treatment should show a noticeable reduction in weight. There is nothing better for obesity. DATES FOR LITTLE BAY BEACH Aug. 6—Queen Street Bap. S. S. Aug. 7—Minonette Social Club.

NOTICE EXPLANATION NOTICE EXPLANATION My attention has been called to certain rumors about city children attending the Suffolk Normal Training School which are, to some little extent, affecting the patrons of this school. The said rumor is to the effect that children of the city shall not be allowed to attend this school any more; that a committee came down from the North and forbade me taking any more children from the city, because the city is able and ought to take care of its own children in its schools. This sounds very nice to a man up a tree who is afraid to come down. I wonder why I was not forbidden to accept children from the county? Is not the county fully as able to take care of its children as is the city? But there is a spark of truth in this rumor. One of our trustees came down to visit the school last May, that he might advise with me in making recommendations to the board of trustees relative to enlarging our financial facilities for the payment of teachers. He wanted to have a talk with Prof. Martin, superintendent of the city schools. I arranged for it and left them in conference.

I have never been forbidden to take children from the city. And iti may here be fully known, that I am still principal of the school, and that the Universalist church supports it. I still have unrestrained judgment and the say as to who may attend this school; and also from where they may come.

AMUSEMENTS PALACE TO HAVE BIG STAR PRODUCTION NEXT WEEK Next week brings to the Palace theatre Mr. Bob Russell and his company of Metropolitan performers, one of the most refined and capable musical comedy organizations on the road. The Bob Russell company is not unknown to the people of Norfolk, for many of them can remember with pleasure when he played to packed houses here for weeks and weeks, growing more and more in popular favor every day. When Mr. Russell makes his bow to the audience at the Palace theatre next Monday night, he will have a show to offer that should make him proud indeed, for according to reports from all the larger houses throughout the East, he has gathered about him a company of artists that any manager might well be proud of, and the Palace considers itself particularly fortunate in securing his company right at this time, when the patrons of house have begun to realize that better shows are going to be offered each week, and that nothing but refined, elevating performances of any kind will be tolerated. If you like refined comedy, new songs, late dances and want to spend an evening or an afternoon in a truly pleasurable way, and at the same time assist the management of the house in securing high-priced capable people for your entertainment, pay a visit to the Palace this week. Your presence will be appreciated. On each Friday night Country store will be an added attraction, and many handsome and useful presents will be given away to the patrons of the house Save the coupons that are given you at each performance, and come back with them Friday night and see what you get. There will be no advance in price next week, if the patronage justifies it, there will be none all during the season, as the aim of the management is to give the people of Norfolk the very best attractions at the least possible price, and volume of business alone will justify this. A SULTAN FOR A NIGHT AT THE PALACE A scream of laughter from the opening to the finale was the way the audience that greeted the Broadway Rastus Company in the musical comedy, "A Sultan for A Night." The play is as old as Negro musical comedies and perhaps older, but like all other old plays that have the scenery, wardrobe, talent and a new name, it made good. None of the above was lacking so the company won in fine style. The play opened with a chorus of girls and the throne, a song and dance, then the arrival of the prophet who announces the sign which foretells the arrival of the long absent ruler. The first new face that comes laong is named, which is the doughty little comedian, who, after a bit of persuasion, is made Sultan, and some Sultan he was. After the arrival of an American lady the new Sultan absentde himself. Miss Esther Bigcou made her debut to the Norfolk audience and was received with much applause. She sang "just the kind of girl" and answered enchores, then put on a base ball monologue that was upto-date, and, as usual, anything that resembles the national past time is always well taken. Miss Bigeou, fresh from several weeks rest at the capital of our country, is full if pep and made a decided hit with the Palace patrons. She left the stage amid applause, then followed the arrival of the real Sultan which brought conservation to the imposter, who was sentenced to be beheaded. Here the little man created some real fun.
