CHANGES WROUGHT BY THE EXODUS A Summary of Its Political and Economic Effect Upon the Southern States SOUTH LOSES BIG PROFITS Oppression And Low Wages Named As Causes Of Alarming Migration Of Negro Labor. (By D. J. Gilmer.) Greensboro, N. C.—There has been recently a man in the South gathering data and observing conditions bearing upon the present Negro exodus and he states that within the next year there will have gone from the Southern state enough Negroes to justify the reduction of seventeen congressional districts in the total number now represented in the Congress from the South. Seventeen congressional districts represent a total of 3,601,909 people Of course such a political loss to the South must be alarming, but let us consider for a moment the monetary loss. If three million and more people are worth as much to the Southern states from which they are constantly going as they will be to the Northern section seeking them, then the South will have lost in the first year of their absence $465,192,551, and the merchants of the South will have lost in the same period of time in profit alone $86,519,255.04, and the banks will have lost in clear profits $6,977,888.25. With these conditions confronting the South it would seem that logical and righteous steps should be taken to remedy the evil consequences of such an exodus. Before an evil can be remedied, however, the cause must be located. Now, therefore, what is the cause of the exodus? The shortest answer is this: Oppression and an inadequate wage. How is the proof of an inadequate wage to be obtained? As follows: From a United States ration table the rations, etc., per day for one healthy man, according to the present price of food products, costs 52 cents; fuel, 17; house rent, 27; illuminating supplies, 8; clothing and laundry, 23; total $1.57. For insurance, 5 cents; incidentals, 15; church and lodge dues, 7. Total, 27 cents. Grand total per day for one laborer $1.84. From the above figures one dare not question too seriously the truthfulness of the statement that "many laborers of the South have been compelled to dart with cunning through the cordon lines of a vigilant police force between the hours of midnight and day, and many of the weaker sex have been forced to sacrifice their all upon an altar of sustenance, because of an inadequate wage." The present exodus seems to be thoroughly planned and there is no Negro leadership competent to stop it. Letters are coming back from many of those already gone, and whether the statements contained therein are true or not they are alluring. This and the impelling effect of the exodus will certainly carry great numbers away who might not now contemplate going. MONUMENT PROPOSED FOR COLORED SOLDIERS To Be Erected At National Capital In Honor of Deceased Soldiers And Sailors The following is the text of a resolution introduced in congress by Representative Dyer of Missouri: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a Commission is hereby created to be known as the National Memorial Commission to procure and determine upon location, plan, and design for a Monument or Memorial in the City of Washington, District of Columbia, to the Memory of the Negro Soldiers, and Sailors who fought in the wars of our country, subject to the approval of Congress That a total sum not exceeding $100.000 be appropriated for the construction of said Monument or Memorial." In the interest or this movement a patriotic demonstration will be held in Norfolk Friday night, August 24th, at First Baptist Church, under the auspices of the Norfolk Memorial Association. Among the speakers will The Journal and Guide be$^{h}$ Hon. J. Thos. Hewin, of Richmond; Ferdinand D. Lee, of Washington, D. C., Mrs. Julia M.

Hampton, Va.—Hollis Burke Frissell, beloved principal of Hampton Institute for nearly twenty-five years, and Samuel Chapman Armstrong, his soldierly predecessor, now rest side by side, as once they loyally worked by day and by night, to give all men, regardless of class, or race, a new conception of education—"education for life." The funeral service, simple and impressive, which was held on Wednesday in the Hampton Institute Memorial Church and in the small school cemetery, in memory of the life and work of Dr. Frissell, brought together on the Lower Peninsula of Virginia hundreds upon hundreds of thoughtful white and colored people, who paid tribute to one of America's leading statesman-educators. Dr. Moton's Tribute. Dr. Robert R. Moton, Hampton's former commandant, present principal of Tuskegee Institute, delivered a forceful address on Dr. Frissell's service to the nation. Dr. Moton said: "This life which has gone out from us so recently is today manifesting itself in the acts and thoughts of other lives, of black men, and red men, and men of the white race also. I have never known, and you have never known, a more patient, a more simple, a more earnest, a more unselfish, a more Christ-like character than Dr. Frissell. He was able, as no man I have known, to hide himself absolutely behind the geat cause for which he worked. He thought nothing about himself but he thought always of how he could serve. "The Keynote of Dr. Frissell's life was the note of service to one's race, one's country, one's God. It was not narrowed down to one or two races, but it included the human race—mankind wherever there was a chance to serve. "Dr. Frissell's memory will always be revered by the millions of Negroes whom he helped and by millions of white people, North and South, through whom he served, and by thousands of Indiana for whom he work- Life of Victory. "We should thank God for the great victory which is Dr. Frissell's and which is ours—the victory over prejudice, over selfishness, over littleness, the victory of patience, of simplicity, of life, and of service. "May those who are privileged to work for Hampton always be controlled, whether as trustees, teachers, students, graduates, or friends, by this spirit of unselfish service to our fellow-men." Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, Specialist in the Education of Racial Groups in the U. S. Bureau of Education, Washington, D. C., formerly associate chaplain at Hampton Institute read the prayer which Dr. Frissell himself offered less than two years ago at the funeral service of Dr. Booker T. Washington. "Thanks be to God, who giveth us the victory"—with these words Dr. Frissell opened the service held in memory of Hampton's most distinguished graduate. These words were repeated again and again as an expression of Dr. Frissell's victorious life. Favorite Hymns. The Hampton School sang with rare feeling two Negro religious folk songs, "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," and "My Lord, What a Morning,"—which were dear to the heart of Hampton's principal. The Rev. Laurence Fenniger read appropriate selections from the Scriptures and the Rev. Herbert B. Turner offered the closing prayer at the church service. Funeral Procession.

NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1917 One Hundred and Five Are Held On Sixty-eight Charges of Murder and Arson BEST CITIZENS INVOLVED Grand Jury Report Bames Public Officials For Permitting The Riots To Occur. Belville, Ills.—Sixty-Eight indictments against 105 persons, the charges including murder, arson, conspiracy, rioting and assault to murder, were returned by the grand jury here today which has been investigating the race riots in East St. Louis, July 1 to 3. The report of the grand jury said: "We believe the riots, at least the occurrences which led to them, were deliberately plotted. Indolent public officials heard the rumblings, but over-awed by cowardly inclination remained inactive. "We have found it obligatory to indict at law accused of making mob inflammatory speech advocating mob violence has been summoned by an indictment to answer the charge. "We believe that the riot was caused by a propaganda of intolerance which the races were taught to have for each other. During the last two years there has been an influx of Negroes estimated at 80,000. This influx was brought about largely through the advanced prices of labor and the demand for labor in East St. Louis. There is, we believe, sufficient work for those who desire to work and at god wages." COLORED FARMERS FORM A UNION. Organize In Piedmont Carolina For Mutual Protection and Improvement. Raleigh, N.

PRICE: FIVE CENTS High-Minded Declaration of A Jewish National Organ On The Race Question Says Prejudice and Race Hatred Must Be Foreign To The American A remarkable editorial appeared in the "Jewish Daily News," published in New York City, on Tuesday, July 31st. The article, which was captioned, "No Room For Race Prejudice," was occasioned by the great silent protest parade which was held in New York following the East St. Louis riots and was participated in by eight thousand Negroes. It was a masterful plea for justice. A Hebrew friend of the race in Norfolk sends the editorial to the Journal and Guide with the comment that "This is how the Jew feels toward the Negro, not only in the south, but North as well." We quote the article in full: "No Room For Race Prejudice." "The march down Fifth Avenue, on Saturday of 8000 Negro men, women and children in "silent protest against acts of discrimination and oppression" should stir the conscience of all America. "Pitiful wrongs and grave acts of injustice have been and are continued to be committed against the Negro and the oppression form which he suffers is a reflection upon the democracy of the United States. "Prejudice and race hatred must be foreign to the people of the United States. The founders of the Republic fled to these shores because they were discriminated against in the lands of their nativity. They sought freedom and the right to develop, to labor and to worship in accordance with the dictates of their conscience. The great majority of the citizens of this country are either natives of foreign countries who have come here to escape intolerable conditions, or they are descendants of such refugees. "Every sympathy must be expressed to Negroes who are persecuted, denied the opportunity of gaining an honest livelihood, lynched and driven hither and thither. "The inscription on one of the banners carried in the purse read, "We are maligned as lazy and murdered when we work." No more smashing indictment could have been uttered against a state of affairs which is disgraceful to the citizenship of America. "Neither the country nor the Negro gains by oppression. The late Booker T. Washington in a memorable address delivered some years ago before the Conference of Liberal Religions in Philadelphia, exclaimed, "When America freed the Negro slaves, America freed herself." A people that persecutes is a people enslaved. A country in which prejudice finds a place is not emancipated and its growth is stunted. "The way to improve the status of the Negro does not lie through lynching and expulsions, but through education and making him feel that he is regarded as a human being possessing all the rights that are accorded to men. "But above all, every right-minded American to whom the fundamentals of the Republic are dear and who wishes to maintain the spirit of freedom that is the cornerstone of the fabric of the United States, must protest with might and main against the persecution to which the Negro is subjected. "The life of the meanst among men must be held sacred beneath the Star and Stripes. The Negro has given evidence of self-uplift and of being capable of good citizenship. Let nothing be done that will drag him down to the level of the brute. Extend to him the hand of brotherhood, for all men are created free and equal. It is man's inhumanity against man which creates inequalities. "The dignified and earnest protest of the thousands of Negroes should strike home and cause every American to regard his fellow citizen of the black race with fairness and justice. Let there be an end to wrong-doing lest we stand accused before the Bar of Justice as a people unworthy of freedom." WANTED.—Colored men to prepare for Civil Service Examinations.

C.—If the War De- partment here carries out its announe- ed purpose to raise the three divisions of colored troops, it will mean. that $7,000 colored men will be called to the colors by fall. The number of colored men registered, under the conscription act, is only about one-tenth of the chites who registered. The three divi- sions for colored men will mean that nearly one-fifth of the 500,000 men called for the first national army will be colored, and that a proportionately greater number of colored than whites will be conscripted. The French und English envoys when here, it is said, impressed upon government officials that the black troops now fighting in the great war have proven marvelous fighters. ‘According to reports issued here last Monday from the department in the make-up of the new national army Negroes are to be on the same basis as whites. To Be Three Negro Divisioits, ‘The War Department now estimates that in the first national army of 500,- 000 men there will he three Neyro di- visions. About 29.000 men are in- }eluded in cach division, The final reg- isteation figures show that out of 0 total revistration of 9,059.382 there were 953,889 Negroes, or a little more than one-tenth or one Negro to every 10 white men. On this basis it is claimed by some that nearly 96,000 Negroes will be conscripted for the first national urmy. Under Colored Officers. Tt was learned that it will be the Roliey of the War Department to offi- cer the Negro units with colored men ag far us possible. In any event, the officers up to major, and perhaps to colonel, will be Nenrogs. "The brignde and division officers Will be detailed from the regular army. As yet the War Department has given no parti- cular attention te the assignment of colored troops, but it is proceeding on the theory that they will be sent to France when their turn comes just as the white troops will go. REPORT OF KANSAS CITY, BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING ISSUED FROM PRESS The proceedings of the Seventeenth Annual Session of the Natiogal Negro Business Leurne, which was held in Kansas City, Missouri, Ausrust 16, 17. 18, 1916, which have just been issued from the press of the National Ban- list Pablishing Rogrd, of Nashville. ‘Tennessee, is a most interesting docu- ment and contribution to the race's current history, This book is not only a record of Neyro enterprise and achievement. but also a sort of me- morial volume. The Kansas City meetings was the first merting of the league held after the death of the League’s founder and Irst President. the late Booker 'T. Washington, and the record of the Memorial session held in Convention Hall on the even- ing of August 16th included in this permanent record, makes the volume of immense value. ‘The principal Memorial address was delivered by Emmett J. Scott, Seere- tary of the Business Leasruc, and for eighteen years, Dr. Washington's con- fidential “Seeretary and co-worker. Other speakers of the Memorial Ses- sion were: Hon. J. C. Napier, Nash- ville, Tennessee; Mrs. M. E. Josen- berger, Ft. Smith, Arkansas; Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal, Tuskegee Insti- tute, Alabama; Mr. Fred R. Moore, Editor of The New York Age; Mr. Roscoe €. Simmons, Louisville, Ken- tucky; all of whom paid discriminat- ing tributes to the Eoxiue's founder and guiding renius. Several district features, stand out prominently in connection with this meeting. First was the gencrous hos- pitality and cordial welcome extended the delegates and officers by the Lo- cal League of Kansas City, of which Mr. Fortune J. Weaver is’ president. Seeond was the _ magnificent. indus- trial and fraternal parade, which was held on ‘Thursday afternoon, August 17th, at which time the visitors had an opportunity to sce an unique de- monstration of the race’s progress since emancipation, Another inter- esting feature was the coming of the Oklahoma delegation in thirty auto. mobiles all owned by Negroes. A note worthy feature of the meeting was the election of Hon. J. C. Napier as psesi- dent of the Leagne, to succeed Dr. Washington. Throurh the entire ses- sion there was every evidence of the great influence of this organization which Dr. Washington founded in the spirit of service and every one present seemed anxious to do his or her part to help perpetuate the Business League and its principles. ‘The annual meeting this year will be held at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and with constantly changing econo- mic, Sonditiona s-Which are. affecting i Negro): business’ 6nterprises “in: the Ate ei aie dit Uae ahs rin Lee ree aoe tan LAE rae 1. i SYS Page 3 = = + = ° :D totay : > + :Don : = = 5 Gray : = + o >?

A LEGAL OPINION OF CONSCRIPTION Mr. Hannis Taylor, constitution! lawyer and! widely known legal authority, says that the a ing of United States militia or conscripted men abroad is against the express provisions of the constitution, and that our “courageous and incor- ruptable federal judiciary” will so declare it. Mr. Taylor obviously interprets the constitution and views the federal judiciary differently from Presi- dent Wilson, who in sending a conscripted army abroad is guided more by exigency than by the constitution, and evidently believes that the fed- eral judiciary, a part of which he created, will sus- tain him. It has been the experience of some Americans that the constitution has not always been safe in the hands of our “courageous and in- corruptable” federal judiciary. In all of the cases so far brought before it involving the constitution- al rights of colored Americans it has done the thing that was necessary to satisfy public senti- ment. It cleverly evaded a decision on the illegal “grandfather clause” in the new constitutions of the Southern states until that particular instru- ment had done all the damage that was necessary, then our “courageous and incorruptable” federal judiciary gravely decreed that the “grand father clause” was unconstitutional. The federal su- preme court may declare the conscription law un- constitutional but it is a safe bet that the war will be over when the decision is reached. NOT QUITE SO BAD, WE HOPE. We wrote a subseriber who had over-paid his subscription that we would be glad to send the paper at his request to “some friend of his,” and suggested that he take advantage of the oppor- tunity to send the paper to a “friendly white per- son.” Our subscriber very frankly wrote us: “J shall try to send you the name of that friendly white person as soon as 1 can run across one. To be frank and candid 1 don’t think you would find one in this town.” We are sure that our subscriber friend is ab- solutely sincere in his conviction, yet we ave equally as certain that he is mistaken. There are surely some white people in his community who have a friendly and sympathetic interest in the welfare of their colored fellow-citizens. ‘Their in- terest and sympathy may be dormant no doubt, due to a lack of their cultivation through contact with colored people in co-operative forward move- ments for the welfare of both races. In view of racial conditions in the South it is an easy matter for one to form such an opinion as exists with good reason, no doubt, in the mind of the subscriber of whom we write. It is a situation that is undesirable from any point of view and one that calls for very serious thought. Where there are no visible signs of mutual interest exist- ing in any community between white and black, the leaders of both races should not rest until there is established between the races a channel of communication through which such a relation- ship may be established and maintained.

Nici THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. An issue of The Richmond Planet, which printed 2 colored citizen’s protest against the East St Louis riot, was denied the use of the mails. The whole edition was held up without authority b3 the Richmond postmaster until Editor Mitchel vent to Washington, emloyed counsel and succeed 2d in having the department release the papers rhe whole thing turned out to be an effort on the part of an impetuous Democratic official to sup. ress criticism of Presient Wilson for failure tc xpress himself upon the East St. Louis riots. The article was written by Uzziah Miner, a forme) Ioward University student, and expressed only hi: ersonal opinions. Its concluding paragraph read Personally, 1 wish to say that I am completely disyusted with America’s hypectisy and insincer- ity.

Of course, I may be called a “slacker,” I may be regarded unpatriotic, 1 may be lgoked upon as disloyal, but I must say, unless President Wilson, like Col. Theodore Roosevelt, speaks out bravely against the unspeakable atrocities perpe- trated upon my despised and ill-treated race; unless the Department of Justice brings the guilty parties at East St. Louis to a “strict accountability, for their unparalleled brutalities; unless I am’ as- sured that the glorious flag. which I love so dearly will offer protection, in the future, to twelve million peace-loving colored inhabitants of this country; unless I am convinced that this “World Democrucy" includes black men as well as white men I shall consider myself a disgrace to my race and my country by freely volunteering to fight for « Democracy across the seus, because, I firmly be- lieve and maintain that Democracy, like charity, should begin at home and spread abroad.” There are few Americans who will believe that Mr. Miner abused the right of free speech any more than the representatives of the Women’s party who are, daily heckling the President with obnoxious banners, one of which displayed a few days ago was worded as follows: “Kaiser Wil- son—Have you forgotten your sympathy with the poor Germans because they are not self governed? Twenty million American women are not self- governed. Take the beam out of your own eye.” The President has not seen as many banners or heard as many righteous criticisms as he is going to see and hear from now on from millions of Americans, white and black, who believe that this country should set its own house in order before going to fight the battles of civilization “marching in blood-stained clothes.” 7 SAILORS RUN AMUCK AGAIN. mayor, the police department and the trol have united in requesting Admix commanding the fifth naval district, t nanent naval patrol in this city to mé among the enlisted men.

It has taught the New World that there is semething higher than the making and spending of money and that service to humanity is the noblest of all. Tt has taught the whole world the bitter lessons of adversity and of the chastening hand which spares not those it loves.

Although we know we came here te live a short time and then pass off of the stage, yet we find it impossible to get use to death, or feel satisfied when we are deprived of one. You may offer consolation to others, yet when it comes to you. * Death has been here. It has robbed the nation of one of its greatest men, and we feel it keenly, beeause he was our friend, and almost one of us. What heart was not made sad when it was flashed over the country a few days ago, that Dr. IL. B. Prissell, prin- cipal of Hampton Institute is dead? In every walk of life, in all races there was saldness, for he was a friend to humanity, and served the American people. Dr. Frissell was successor to Gen- eral Armstrong, the man who brought into life the first industrial school in the world for our people, Hampton Institute, and it was there he remain- ed until claimed by death, and then comes a great man to take his place. It was in his early childhood that he placed himself where God could use him. He went through that prep- aration which was necessary, and he sought the kingdom of God. When this was over, he then waited his ime. General Armstrong received his summon to the Courts of Glory, and then God put hands on the man who was prepared for the place. It was with his soul and heart that he entered upon the work, and was true to it and to the people he served until a few days ago when he left us to join Dr. Armstrong, Booker T. Wash- ington and other great servants who have gone ahead. OF course you remember Hampton Institute. It is the parent of all the other industrial and manual training schools for our people. Like in many eases. sons and daughters may out- grow the mother. It was this institu. tion that save to us Booker T.

HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE It is agreed authoritatively that the three F’s (fooifingers and flies) are ‘the direct carriers of the typhoid bacilli or germs to the human being, But there is a class of carriers that are ill-considered in the part they play in prolonging and extending typhoid infection. ‘This class em- braces those who have had typhoid, The patient who had an attack of typhoid, and whe for all practical pur~ poses, is fully convalesced, is not en- tirely devoid of the possibility of be- ing the means of setting up new in- fections in others notwithstanding his probable freedom from reinfection. There may remain in the blood of the typhoid patient, bacteria of vary- ing wambers that find their escape from the patient through the excre- tions from the intestinal tract and bladder. In fact it is proved that a typhoid patient harbors typhoid germs in his system for weeks and months after he has been pronounced cured and has returned: to normal health. It has also been proven that the germ lingered in a patient for years, Gregg reported a cast where a patient had typhoid in 1866 and bacteria or germs were found in the Krhel, Jurgens and Busse have demon- intestinal contents in 1908. Von strated typhoid germs in the intesti- nal tract of subjects who have never had typhoid. All of this strengthens the supposition and the claim that the human subject is a carrier of the typhoid germ that may set up much mischief after leaving the system of the one who has them, The question may arise why is it that the carrier is not constantly in- thal auto-infeetion or self-infection fected with typhoid fever; why is it does not take place more readily than it seems to do; how can a well per- son harbor typhoid yerms and not be- come a victim to bacterial activtity 2 Mr. Editor: Your editoris] cominenting on my article on the political outlook for our people struck my ‘funny bone!

Saturday, August 18, 1917 Well it is reasonable to suppose that. the conditions under which the typhgjd germs exist in the human subject are. of such a nature that they become- directly barriers to the infeetive ef- forts of the xerms; that the internal secretions of the subject are obstruc- tive to typhoidal infection, although they don’t or may not destroy the. germs within the body; that the zeneral constitutional resistance is developed to such a standard that the: germs are forced to make a truce with the internal forces and they re- main quiescent until conditions be- come favorable for the renewed ac- tivity, whether within, or whether without upon. a second or third sub-- Ject. . Now since it is pretty well estat lished that the human subject is a carrier of’ typhoid germs, especially those who have had attacks, and that it is quite possible for such carriers to set up new cases by means of the waste material from the system, the question resolves itself into one of greater and more accurate prevention. Special supervision must be provided for the one who has had typhoid and who has been pronounced fully gon- valeseed. Definite directions should be given im regard to disposing of the excretions from the intestines and bladder. Ie must understand that he he is stil a possibility of causing oth- ers to have typhoid although he is seemingly well. The wastes must be taken care of and disposed of with the same idea of precaution as they were during his confinement. This rule is to be observed not only for a few days after complete coavales- ence but should be kept up for weeks or months. The surface soil should not be contaminated with the body wastes. They should be so disposed of that the direct carriers | ma; not become sources of infections. % FUNERAL OF DR. FRISSELL (Continued From Page One) tion of white and colored people. The Nlowers were varried frm the church to the cemetery by Hampton grad- uates. . The funeral procession was headed by the well-trained Hampton Institute band. Then followed the Hamptén cadets; the wirl students; the funeral car; the flower bearers; oificers of Battery D, Virginia Field Artilley, and hundreds of Dr. Frissell's friends from far and neur. The service at the grave included the commitment of the body by the Rev, Herbert B. Turner, prayer by the Rev. Laurenge Fenninger, and the giniing of “My Faith Looks Up to Thee.” “Taps” was sounded « by Hampton's bandmaster and again the battalion moved to the quickened’ step of martial music. A Nation's Tribute. Among the telezraphie messaxes which have come to Mrs. Hollis B. Frisell and her son, Sydney Dodi Frissell, from all classes of people ax from all parts of the country, shows ing Dr, Frissell’s loss to the nation, may be mentioned the following: The Rev. Dr. Francis G. Peabody, of Cambridge, a Hampton trustee, “This public loss and private sorrow calls us to a renewed submission to God and 2. fresh devotion to Hampton.” Mr. and Mrs. Julius Resenwald, of Chicago, “Wonderful achievements and. noble life of service jan example fog all who have known’ this great and ood man.” | John M. Gandy, president Colored Normal School, ' Petersburg, _ Va.. “Our race has lost a good friend dnd wise counsellor, and the nation a sane and aggressive leader.” Mr, and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. “A great man has been called home. He has rendered a great ser- Nice to this country and to humanity. ‘Thousands and tens of thousands of people will mourn his going.” Anson, Phelps Stokes, of Yale Uni- versity, “Dr. Frissell's life was an in- spiration to all who knew him, and his influence will be enduring. \ - Henry Roe Cloud, “His spirit arches: on in the Indian race.” Jacob Schiff, “Exceptionally noble’ and genial man, whose memory will | ever remain a blessing.” Lyman Abbot, “Br. Frissell’s sinzles) ‘hezyted devotion to a great cause, guided to noble ends by a practical wisdom, inspived the reverent admira- tion of all who knew him or his work. No one can fill his place, but the work which he so efficiently organized will be carried on by those whom he endued with his spirit.” ; Those present at Hampton for the funeral included Hampton trustees, workers, and graduates; heads of col=, ored schools; and any Northern and Southern friends representing dif- ferent classes and ranks of society. .

Hollis Burke Frissell spent all his life in wise, unselfish service to his fellowmen. Born in Amenia, N. Y., on July 14, 1851, he early learned to be of service to his family. He helped his father, Rev. Amasa Cogswell Frissell, in the work of the American Tract Society. In 1874 he was graduated from Yale and in 1879 from Union Theological Seminary. He became in 1880 assistant pastor of the Madison Avenue Church, New York, and a little later became chaplain of Hampton Institute. When General S. C. Armstrong died in 1893, Dr. Frissell became principal. At the time of his death Dr. Frissell was a member of a number of educational boards, including the General Education Board and James Board, and a trustee of several colored schools. In 1914 he became president of the New York State Colonization Society and in 1916 was elected president of the Mandingo Development Company. Dr. Frissell gave much of his time and thought to the constructive work which is being carried on in American education. His sympathies extended to all classes and through modesty, meekness, and sincerity he won the friendship of rich and poor everywhere. The passing of Dr. Frissell, and Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, takes from us two great men. Dr. Johnson was appointed by the National Baptist convention in the session held in Savannah, last September to write the history of the Negro Baptists, and he was happy over it and said that he would be well up the road at the next session. Well God found another service for him to render, or discovered that he needed rest and laid hands on him. We must all some day follow, but we don't know the day. Who will be the next? I am delighted to see the men we have in this country, and those we are still turning out from various institutions. There will be plenty for all Americans to do within the next few years. Many of the people who worked in this country, when they found their country was in war, they dropped everything to go home to die for their glory, their flag. Many of these men will never return to this or any other country, for they have reported in the great Beyond. Then those who will return from the trenches will have to take the places of their comrades. They will have to say over here and help to build up home. There will be plenty for all Americans to do, and you will get just what you are qualified to do. I have been to many places since I wrote you my last letter, and I am still on the go. This is indeed a great world. The man who has best fitted himself is the man who is getting the most out of it. I have seen many things to inspire me and to cause me in my old days to want to get in school and get just a little more education, and I would get something higher in life. Everywhere men and women are making good, and I am real proud of them. Now in Dallas where I was once, I found some few things there. I have already told you about the Pythian temple. There are many of our people employed there. You see these men need clerks, stenographers, bookkeepers, and the like. Miss Daisy E. Juckson, of Mobile, is to be found in the office of the Grand Keeper of Records and seal. She is a young woman who took time and prepared herself, and is filling her place well. She is just devoted to her work and attends to that and nothing more and nothing less. Prof. Rodgers is proud of her. Miss Lillian A. Shaw, is doing office work. She is a good operator on the typewriter. She is clerk for Dr. J. E. Knox, superintendent of missions for Texas in the Baptist churches. Miss Shaw is found at her post early and late. She is devoted to her work. All of these young women are courteous, polite and obliging. They are making good. Funeral of Miss Anna Maude Carter. On Tuesday at 2 p. m., the funeral of Miss A. Maude Carter was solemnized at the First Baptist Church, Bute Street. Long before the appointed hour the Church was crowded to its utmost capacity with sorrowing friends to pay their last respects to one of Norfolks's brightest and foremost educators. Miss Carter died on Saturday the 11th inst., after an illness of only ten days. She was a glowing example of all that goes to prove a beautifully sweet Christian character. For 17 years she taught in our public school system and worked most zealously. She labored in nearly every branch of her church and was keenly active in the same. She was an accomplished musician, playing several different instruments. The following program was beautifully rendered: Singing "Jerusalem the Golden," Congregation; (The choir, of which the deceased was a member, remained sented, with heads bowed); The lesson, Rev. King; Prayer, Rev. White; Solo, Mrs. Mary Tuston; Remarks, Rev. F. W. Williams; Music "Holy City," Orchestra; Eulogy, Rev. J. R. Custis; Singing, Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Eulogy, Rev. Wm.

Hatcher; Eulogy, Rev. D. G. Jacox; Music, "Beyond the Gates of Paradise, Orchestra." Seated on the rostrum were Revs. Billups, Robbs and C. S. Morris. Rev. F. W. Williams was Master of Ceremonies (the Pastor being out of the city.) Honorary pall-bearers: Rev. Powell; Degcons Erby, Giddings, Harrison and Watkins; Messrs. D. S. Alston, St. Paul Langley and Samuel Tucker. Active pall bearers:—Messrs John W. Baker, John Craig, Robt. H. Harrison, James H. Jackson, Geo R. Moore and H. M. Perkins; Drs. Frank Elliot and W. L. Lovette. The handsome couch was borne from the late residence to the church, on the shoulders o f the pall-bearers. We take this method to thank, very sincerely all friends for their nets of kindness during the brief illness of our daughter and sister, Anna Maude Carter, also for the beautiful flowers sent at her death. Very gratefully. —The Family. Card of Thanks. THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Mr. and Mrs. B. F.

According to newspaper advices scores of innocent men and helpless women and children were murdered in East, St. Louis and thousands of dollars worthy of property were burnt they were trying to earn an honest by a mob for no other than that living by the sweat of faithful toil. The report further states that those in authority and armed with power to check the mob and protect the innocent were either derelict in their sworn duty or were too weak to withstand the mob and uphold the arms of the law. The men women and children brutally murdered were a part of our citizenship and were members of a race who have always been loyal to the flag seven to the sacrifices of their lives whenever a call has been made for the same. In laying before you the memorial we do not presume that the matter of such a gravity and shame has and of how our faith in you as a Christian president of this great nation leads us to believe that it will not fall on deaf ears. We appreciate the trying ordeal through which you are passing and the lead that must rest upon you as our chief Magistrate and yet we feel that nothing has transpired before or since this great war more deserving of action and notice than this awful Saint Louis riot and massacre. Our conference will be glad to get one word from you and we feel that we shall not be disappointed in making this humble request. We beg to remain, Your humble servants.
