Guide Quality PRINTING Brings Results IMPRESSED WITH NEGRO'S FITNESS Col. C. C. Ballou Pays Glowing Tribute To Colored Men Who Will Officer Colored Troops. LARGE NUMBER TRAINING. At Fort Des Moines Training Camp Thousands Responded Readily To Call of Country. In a recent news article which was given wide publicity Col. C. C. Ballou, commanding officer of the Negro Training Camp, Fort Des Moines, Iowa, paid a very high tribute to the general fitness of the Negro soldier to lead and command men in the United States Army. Of the Camp and officers Col. Ballou said in part: National Camp "In addition to the 16 local training camps, there was established a seventeenth, not local, but national. Its recruits were not drawn from one divisional area, but from the entire United States, and every one of them is a Negro. The colored race constitutes more than 10 per cent of our population, and has, since the civil war, furnished more than its quota of fighting men of the regular army. At home and on foreign soil, the ranks of the colored regiments are always full, while the white regiments have with difficulty been maintained at peace strength. To question the valor of the colored soldier is to betray ignorance of history. To Prove Fitness "But his opportunities for leadership have been limited to the grade of non-commissioned officer, and a few scattering commissions. This is the first opportunity given in his history to prove or an adequate scale his fitness or unfitness for command and leadership. At Fort Des Molnes, Iowa, on June 15, 1917, there assembled the largest body of educated Negroes ever brought together in the world for a single purpose. They came there to strive to qualify for the higher responsibilities involved in the defense of our country, and thus demonstrate the fitness of their race for citizenship in the fullest sense of the term. "They were no ordinary lot of men, 200 were non-commissioned officers, sergeants, the pick of the old "non-com" of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. The remainder was made up of men from almost every profession and vocation—lawyers, doctors, merchants, teachers, clergymen, all were represented. Their Responsibility "When they were sworn into the service of the United States, they were briefly reminded that a special responsibility devolved upon them, entirely above and beyond that involved in securing to the country a few hundred lieutenants and captains. It devolved upon them to prove or disprove the availability of 11,000,000 of colored people for full participation in the great and responsible work of war. The success or failure, of this camp would be accepted by the world at large as conclusive evidence in respect to that question. "The old non-coms of the regulars were also reminded of their special responsibility in helping the work along by being at all times living examples of the highest standards of soldierly deportment, discipline and honor, and by working zealously in session and out of session in imparting the thousand details of a soldier's life and duties that can only be learned by experience, to the candidates from civil life. These old soldiers were distributed equally among the 14 companies composing the training regiment. Men Are Loyal Practically every man, soldier and civilian responded to this presentation of their duty with all the strength there was in them. Fortunately their commander was personally known to many of the old soldiers and they gave him a complete confidence that was apparently speedily shared by the entire regiment. The various army officers detailed as instructors were less loyal and devoted to the idea of success. The Journal and Guide of the camp, all plans were perfected, barracks made ready, cooks, waiters, janitors and other employees secured, programs of instruction made out, supplies and text books obtained and in brief, the machine was oiled up and ready to start when the bell rang. It did so start, with wonderful smoothness, and has run on scheduled time, without serious hitch or friction, ever since." WHITE SOLDIERS ATTACK UNOFFENDING NEGROES. Lexington, Ky.-The streets of Lexington tonight are being patrolled by armed mounted and foot soldiers of the Kentucky National Guard and the civil authorities have augmented their night police patrol as the result of a series of outbreaks in the principal streets here today between Negroes and soldiers. The town is quiet, but suppressed excitement and ill feeling is apparent and threats of further trouble are heard, but with the additional guards the authorities believe they have the situation in hand. The street fighting today was the culmination of a series of attacks upon unoffending Negroes who have been attending a fair, nearby. One Negro was taken to the hospital in a serious condition while numerous other Negroes received les sserious injuries. The soldiers escaped with minor bruises. The local authorities reconsidered their decision to request that the soldiers be kept off the streets for the time being. Mr Chas. S. Carter Victim of Circumstances. Dr. G. Jurvis Bowens, who has just returned from the meeting of the National Medical Association, which met in Philadelphia says that in the loss of Dr. G. H. Francis' cur there was nothing shady in Mr. Carter's action, as rumor had it, but on the contrary it was his over-zealousness to render aid to the Norfolk physician, that placed him in the embarrassing position. Those who know Mr. Carter best have no doubts as to his sincerity. Phillip A. Payton of New York Dead. New York, Aug. 29.—Mr. Phillip A. Payton, the best known real estate dealer in the country, died at his summer home at Allenhurst, N. J., Friday evening. Mr. Payton was born at Westfield, Mass., and received a college education. Recently he closed one of the largest real estate deals in the history of New York, when he purchased several modern apartments involving a million and half dollars. Councilman Cummings of Baltimore Stricken. Hon. Harry Cummings, Negro Councilman of Baltimore was stricken at Roland Park, Md., last Wednesday, while spending some time with his family. Physicians were hastily summoned and declared Mr. Cummings to be suffering with Neurasthenia, he having lost the use of his body above the waist. Mr. Cummings has been instrumental in bringing better conditions to the Negor section of Baltimore and his host of friends are anxious for his recovery. Fortune—Thomas Nuptials. Cards have been issued by Mrs. Lulu Thomas announcing the marriage of her daughter Anna Beatrice to Dr. Frederick White Fortune, which took place in St. Augustine's Church, Asbury Park, N. J., Monday, August 20th. The bride is formerly of Wilmington, N. C., and is very popular among the younger social set. The groom is the accomplished son of the Hon. Thomas Fortune, dean of Negro journalism and founder and former editor of the New York Age. Dr. and Mrs. Fortune are making their home at 1107 Springwood Ave., Asbury Park, N. J. NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSO. CLOSES SUCCESSFUL SESSION The National Medical Association, which was held in Philadelphia, Pa., August 28th, 29th, and 30th closed one of the most successful and helpful sessions in its history. The annual address of Dr. D. W. Byrd was full of strong and helpful points in regards to the health and welfare of the race. There were said to have been more that six hundred delegates, most of NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY, SEPT 8, 1917. BIG LABOR DAY CELEBRATION Thousands of White and Colored Laborers Paraded Streets of City. HARMONY BETWEEN RACES Day Ended With Big Celebration at League Park And Base (By T. C. R. BRAGG.) If carrying the stars and stripes is a demonstrative evidence of patriotism and loyalty to the United States, the Norfolk colored labor organizations can be styled as true friends to their country. The organizations were out very strong on Labor day. Several thousands together with the white Labor unions marched the streets of Norfolk in celebration of the day designated as their day throughout the country. Many of the large industries in and around the city closed down to give their employees a day to celebrate and this was done in great style. Citizens of this city expressed themselves surprisingly at the great number of labor unions among the colored people. That the Negro is awakening to the necessity of organization for protection was clearly shown as well as the fact that white unions and industries in this section are beginning to recognize the Negro as an important factor in the industrial world. It was indeed the first time in the history of Norfolk that colored and white unionists combined in one parade. Perhaps no other city in the south witnessed a similar demonstration, which was in evidence in Norfolk, Monday. Thousands of white and colored laboring men all lined in one great parade all with the same object in view, minds centered upon one great central fact: That Organization alone can produce the effectuality of standardizing labor in this country. The whites led the parade. Following close behind them were the various Negro unions. Among them were the Carpenters and Joiners, Coal Trimmers, Stokers, Working Women's union and many others. The colored aggregation, numbering more than a thousand, were escorted by three brass bands. The great parade Monday clearly showed the prevailing harmony which exists among the white and colored working classes of this community and is an indication of a better understanding and more harmonius racial relationship in the future. All day long the principal streets were crowded with surging masses. Many cheers went up when the various unions would pass, each man bearing proudly "Old Glory." In many places the side walks were impassable on both sides. The streets were filled with curious people eager to see the greatest labor parade of the city. After marching down the various business streets the whites disbanded on Main street and the colored marched back to Chapel street and some disbanded but the Coal Trimmers Local and the company of soldiers with the two bands marched down church street to the League Base Ball park where Field Day sports were indulged in until four o'clock when the base ball game was called. Fine Ball Game. About 5,000 persons were within the enclosure of the park. Long before the game the grand stand was packed. It was a beautiful game and some very pretty plays were made by both the A. F. and L. Giants and Titus Town Red Stockings. It was anybody's game from the start to finish. The Titus Town boys made the first score in the second inning and again another in the fourth, but the Giants made two also in the fourth. The Red Stockings made one in the sixth but failed to cross the rubber again, while the A. F. and L. boys made two in their half of the eighth thereby winning the game 4 to 3. The Coal Trimmers ended up the day's pleasure by having a Grand Ball at Midway Park which was crowded to capacity. The Long-shoremen's Union took the afternoon for their parade. This is one of the strongest local Negro organizations and they made a formidable appearance.

LARGE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE URGED Ministers and Heads of Organizations Appealed To By Dr. Claxton. MATTER OF IMPORTANCE Because of War Responsibilities of Citizenship Will Require Higher Degree of Preparation. Ministers are urged to preach on the importance of school attendance as a patriotic duty this year, and Sunday School superintendents and leaders of young peoples' societies in the various churches are asked to make school attendance a special topic, in a letter addressed by the Commissioner of Education to churches and religious papers throughout the United States. In urging the churches to help in the campaign for greater school attendance, Dr. Claxton says: "It is of the greatest importance that the schools of the United States of all kinds and grades—public, private, and parochial—be maintained during the war without any lowering of their standards or falling off in their attendance. "This is necessary both for the protection of our boys and girls against many unusual temptations to delinquencies of various kinds, and that they may have full opportunity for preparations for the work of life and citizenship; all of which will require for the duties and responsibilities of a higher degree of preparation because of the war. "For many reasons there will be need in this country for higher standards in average of ability, knowledge, and virtue, when the boys and girls now in our schools have reached manhood and womanhood than we or any other people have yet attained to. "In the making of public opinion and popular sentiment necessary for the maintenance of standards of efficiency, to keep children in the schools, and to prevent their exploitation in the mills and shops, the churches may do much. I am therefore appealing to all ministers to urge this from their pulpits, and to all superintendents of Sunday schools and all leaeders of young peoples' societies to have this matter discussed in their meeting. "To do this is a patriotic duty which should be performed gladly, both for the present defense and for the future welfare of the country." Ask Club Women To Aid A special appeal to club women in the United States has been issued by the United States Commissioner of Education, Dr. P. P. Claxton, urging that the influence of the organizations they represent be given to the maintenance of the schools of the Nation in their full efficiency during the present crisis. Dr. Claxton says: "Everywhere there seems to be fear est our schools of all kinds and grades, and especially the public schools, will suffer this year because of the conditions growing out of our entrance into the war. On the other hand, both for the present defence and for the future welfare of our country, as well as for the individual benefit of the children, it is of the greatest importance that the schools shall be maintained in their full efficiency, both as to standards of work and attendance of children," "While the war continues there will be many unusual temptations to many kinds of juvenile delinquencies. Prompt and regular attendance at school and proper employment during out-of-school hours will be the children's surest protection against such temptations. "When the boys and girls now of school age have reached manhood and womanhood there will be need for a higher standard of intelligence, skill, and wisdom for the work of life and for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship than we have ever yet attained. Our schools must now be so sustained and improved as to enable them better to prepare our boys and girls for life and work in the new age which will follow the close of the war and the coming of peace. No boys and girls must now be neglected or exploited for selfish ends. "In all this probably no others can be quite so helpful as the club women of the country, most of whom are also mothers of children. For this reason I am taking the liberty of suggesting to them that in all women's clubs this should be made a subject of discussion at their first meetings this fall and from time to time throughout the INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION W. P. Evans Tells Race to Get Industrial Educatin and Work Out Salvation on the Farm. Fayetteville, N. C.-In a recent address here, the occasion being the organization of a Farm Life School, W. P. Evans, a successful Negro business man of Laurinburg, N. C., pointed out to his hearers many advantages of industrial education. The colored people of this section are to raise $5000.00 for the establishment of the school and the whites are to contribute $10,000.00. In reference to industrial and agricultural education Mr. Evans said: "Young Negro men, I feel keenly the necessity of speaking to you, for upon your shoulders the burdens and responsibilities of ten million Negroes must rest. Do not be afraid to face difficulties. For myself, I would not care to live in an age where there were no serious, hard and perplexing problems to be met and solved. Young men, assume responsibilities, get serious, stop acting dudish, don't be ashamed of honest labor of any kind. You can bring more distinction and respectability to yourself and race as a peanut vender conducting a businesses of your own, than you can as a head waiter in some hash house in the north. Uplift of Humanity. I said this was a grand and noble occasion. Noble because it has for its sole object the uplift of humanity, raising from the quagmire of vice ignorance and indolence a race of people whose condition is ypeculiari their own. Grand, because its ulterior motives are to teach the farmer boy how to grow two bales of cotton where now only half a bale grows, to teach the boy in the ditch not to come out of the ditch, but to dig a better and straighter ditch. Grand, because it will teach the farmer girl domestic science, practical economy. Grand because it teaches the dignity of labor and raises men from the brute aggregation up into the society of his God, who Himself worked when He created the world and when He made and constructed man. God's presence in that work, dignified work. Industrial and farm life education for the masses have their proofs in the statistics which show that in 1916 the Negro owned 981,000 farms when in the same length of time the Negro people in the towns and cities only owned 600,000 homes. The Negro on the farm had gained 381,000 homes more than the Negro off the farms. The door of opportunity swings wider today to the Negro on the farms than ever before. The color line is drawn less on the farm than in any other vocation of life. There are no labor unions on the farm, preventing the black man earning an honest dollar. "East St. Louis, Ill., thank God, is not on the farm; Chester, Pa., is not on the farm." Urged Cooperation. "Hear me, if there ever was a race of people in this world that needs cooperation it is the black race and if the educaton of the Negro does not mean for him increased race pride, clanishness like the Jew, co-operation and consevatism, then I say to you, with all the candor and earnestness of my heart, the game is not worth the ammunition, the race will never bring to itself that distinction and recognition that characterizes other races of the world. "Let no man tread the wine press alone." If he has had a good work, let all throw their strength behind him. "Let all help each" should be the Negro's motto. Need of Enterprise. "There are today 5,000 negro college graduates, working in hotels and pool rooms; positions that are not in keeping with their qualifications. I want to say here, the race is responsible for this condition because she ought to have co-operated in building up separate enterprises that would have taken care of her educated bookkeepers, clerks and constructors. "It appears from this angle that the educational progress of the Negro is ahead of his business and industrial progress. If so, mark time educationally until the unemployed educated numbers get qualified positions and have a chance to put into practice that which they learned in school, otherwise, there will be an over-production of unemployed educated colored people." Prof. C. Harry Carter left Saturday for Jacksonville, N. C., to visit rel- SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS On Page 6 PRICE:_ FIVE CENTS GREAT INTEREST IN ANNUAL MEETING National Equal Rights League Open To All Individuals and Organizations. EXPECT LARGE GATHERING Mother Zion Church, West 136 Street, New York City To Be Scene of Hillburn, N. Y.—A call has been issued for the meeting of the National Equal Rights League, which will convene in its tenth annual session in Mother Zion Church, west 136th street, this city, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 18, 19, 20. The League will also have a two days festival National Race Congress feature and is open to all individuals and organizations. Delegates from Maine to California are expected to be in attendance. Secretary Trotter of Boston, in addressing a personal letter to individuals regarding the Congress said: "Ours is the race among civilized races which does not understand the exceeding great value of organization and of a national convention on its rights. "I beg you to think of the facts that the U. S. A. has for the first time entered upon a European war, that war is the time all prescribed classes get relief, and therefore a real national convention, representing the colored race itself is a necessity, is a paramount duty, is worth great financial expense necessary to send delegates. "Realizing all this, I beseech you as a colored man of sense, of self-respect, and of race loyalty, to act at once to have some citizens meet as a Committee and organize to work up a movement to hold a meeting and collect money and send delegates." Much Interest Manifested. Many of the letters coming to my desk daily from various places in the south contain sad and pathetic stories relative to the oppressive conditions under which many of our people have to live. In quoting from some of them, I shall not mention many, lest, by so doing, I might bring added persecution on your already grievously oppressed people. A. B. Cosey, Esq., of Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "Received your very elegantly composed 'Call' for the Convention. Indeed it is very timely, called, and at a very suitable place. If I can serve you in any way, advise me. I will attend the Convention, representing a part of Brooklyn." Mr. Wm. H. Scott, of Woburn, Mass., writes: "Send me a number of copies of the Call which you sent, calling the Race Congress to New York City next month. I want to use them in getting Woburn together. We are living in critical times. * * * Thank God the Colored people are waking up." Your Call is magnificent! It should be means of stirring up the Race as near before and the Congress should do a great good." Mr.——, of ——, Texas says in a pitiful letter: "I am sending you a clipping from the Houston Chronicle. I was afraid that you might miss it. Please tell me where that Congress is going to be held." Another prominent minister writes from——, S. C., saying: "I would say that I am planning to be in the tenth annual meeting of the National Equal Rights League on the 18th, 19th and 20th of September. Please therefore send me at your earliest convenience th special R'y rates and any other matter of detail, and the like, that you think would be necessary for me to have." In a lengthy and illuminating communication from Santa Barbara, Calthe Rev. T. D. Pettigrew says: "I have just read your splendid Call to Colored Americans all over the country, to meet in a National Congress. I am glad to tell you that I most heartily endorse both the manner and the spirit in which it is made. The time has fully come when we must come together and council and organize. I shall be glad to be with you at the Congress. Page 2 SPECIAL SALE PRICE with a six (6) months' subscription to THE BLIZZARDATED COMPANY ONLY 28 CENTS.

DRYSY BRIDGES PUBLIC DIRECTORS & ENGLAMER Carriages For Hire (to be sent noountland) Residence: 711 Cumberland Street Office: 715 Cumberland Street TELEPHONE 1242 News of the City of Portsmouth Last Sunday the seating capacity of the spacious auditorium of the Emanuel church was taxed to overflowing with sorrowing friends who had gathered to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the memory of Deacon Thos. Davis, one of Portsmouth's oldest, best-known and most highly respected citizens. Long before the hour appointed for the sad services every available seat had beer taken. The casket, covered with a blanket of choice flowers, was lifted from the hearse and borne up the aisle to the altar on the shoulders of pall bearers while Prof. C. Harry Carter softly played the funeral hymn. The impressive services began with the hymn, "Servant of God Well Done". Prayer was offered by Rev. Stanback. After the choir had touching rendered "I would not live always," Rev. Hunter read for the first scripture lesson the 91st Psalm and for the second lesson I Timothy 4:1-8. At this point the favorite hymn of the deceased, "My hope is built on nothing less," was sung. Obituaries, attesting the worth of the sleeper and the esteem in which he was held were read. Then Rev. Hunter who said he would not preach a funeral sermon, paid a glowing tribute to the character and usefulness of Deacon Davis and pointed out what a loss the death of such a man meant to a community. In all the walks of life which meant uplift to his race, Deacon Davis had been identified. His counsel was sought and his advice always followed. At one time he served as a magistrate. For 63 years he had been a member of Emanuel church. During these years he had held many responsible positions and filled them with credit. Dr. Hunter said if he had chosen any text it would have been, "A mighty man has fallen, a prince in the house of Israel" and the concluding verses of the second lesson, "I have fought a good fight etc." Rev. S.S. Morris, pastor of St. John's A. M.E. Church, Norfolk, spoke briefly of the worth of the deceased and told how his life had been a beacon light to the young men of the community. Deacon Davis was a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows, Samaritans, Love and Charity and other lodges all of which attended in bodies. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful and bore silent testimony to all that was said. The church services over, Revs. Hunter and Morris followed by the official board and then the choir, of which the deceased was once a member, preceded the corpse down the aisle. The choir sang, "Bear the cross" so feelingly that the entire congregation was moved to tears. The corpse was borne from the church and escorted to the cemetery by the arious organizations. There the body was assigned to "Mother Earth." Portsmouth has indeed lost a mighty man, but his good deeds shall live in the hearts of men and the community will be better for his having lived in it. Monster Mass Meeting. On account of the funeral of Deacon Thomas Davis, the mass meeting held under the auspices of the "Colored American Association," was not as largely attended as those in charge had hoped it would be. An excellent program had been arranged for the occasion but some of the participants were unable to appear. National airs from the French, English and Italian were played by Prof. C. Harry Carter, after which he played the American airs, Miss Vivian France delighted her audience with a splendidly rendered solo and was requested to sing the same at the mass meeting to be held at the Palace theatre in Norfolk next Sunday. Executive Secretary C. S. Morris, Jr. made an eloquent plea for the widows and children of the Colored French soldiers and it is hoped that Portsmouth will find some way in which to contribute to such a worthy cause. Send a delegation and donation to Norfolk next Sunday! Annual Outing of Skull and Bones Club. Little Bay Beach was the scene of a brilliant assemblage on Aug. 24th when the Skull and Bones Club tendered their annual outing to their friends. The party was taken to the beach on special cars which left Norfolk at 10:30 o'clock and arrived at this time the dinner hour was approaching, and the preparations to snake of the very elaborate dinners were begun. The beach presented a beautiful picture as the diners sat together placed beneath the trees and passioh of the delieacies of the season. After dinner, the club and their guests wended their way to the pavilion where Prot. David Morris pre- THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE playing verified the words of the poem "And the air shall be filled with music, And the cares that infest the day Shall fold their tents like the Arubs, And as quietly steal away." During the intermission, boating, bathing, fishing and other forms of amusement were enjoyed. One interesting feature of the day was the taking of group pictures by the Camera club. After the intermission music and dancing were resumed and indulged in until 8 o'clock when the guests reluctantly began to depart for home. The members of the club who motored to the beach in their cars were the president, Dr. Wm. B. Anderson, and Drs. Elliot, Barnes, Brown and Undertaker Jackson. Dr. Wm. B. Anderson is president of the club, Mr. Moses Brown, secretary and Dr. J. Dorsey. Barnes was chairman of the committee of arrangements. One of the most pleasant social events of the week was the reception tendered the Eureka Social and Literary Club by Miss Mayme Blake at her residence on Elm Ave., last Monday evening. The home had been beautifully decorated for the occasion with the National and Eureka colors and potted plants and cut flowers were used in profusion. Miss Blake was assisted in receiving by her sister, Miss Julia Blake. During the early evening the following program was rendered and much enjoyed by all present: Instrumental Solo, Miss Beatrice Slade; Remarks, Mr. Wm. Jones, Pres. Eureka club; Solo, Mr. George Wright; Essay Miss Maybelle Tynes; Mistress of Quotations, Miss Bessie Morris; Solo Mr. Wilson Parker; Dramatic Reading, Miss M. Estelle Thompson; Solo Miss Vivian France; Instrumental Solo, Mr. David Sanford; Miss Marie Thomas was pianist and Mr. Theophilus Perkins, master of ceremonies. After the program had been rendered, the master of ceremonies in behalf of the club presented Miss Bluke with a beautiful silver flower vase appropriately inscribed, as a token of their appreciation for her hospitality. Refreshments were then served. Miss Jannye Gary presided at the punch bowl. Ice cream and cake were served also. After this, music and games were indulged in until the time for guests to depart. This they reluctantly did. Mrs. Alma A. Cannon, organist of Zion Baptist church has returned from a very pleasant visit to relatives and friends in Richmond and Fredericksburg. She will resume her duties on Sunday. Miss M. Estelle Thompson has returned from a week-end visit to the Misses Daisy and Elsie Fields of Hampton. Drs.

Lipsking and Miss Evelyn and Josephine Lightner have returned after spending five weeks in the mountains of Virginia, Roanoke, Salem and Blue Ridge Springs. Miss Evelyn Lightner has resigned her position as teacher in the public schools of the city. She will enter Howard University at the beginning of the fall session to take up some advanced work.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Thomas, Sr., 929 Nelson St., was the scene of a quiet marriage, Wednesday evening, Aug. 29, 1917 when in the presence of their many friends their youngest daughter Miss Nancy Madeline became the wife of Mr. Coley Wheeler, of Portsmouth, Va. The ceremony was solemnized by Rev. Dr. R. G. Adams, Pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church. The bride was handsomely dressed in White Voil over net her brides maid, her sister Miss Susie C. Thomas wore White Embroidered swiss and carried pink asters. The groom and best man Mr. George Lowry of Charleston, S. C., wore Evening Dress.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1917. N. C. STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. We have just received the twenty-sixth annual catalogue of the North Carolina State Colored Normal and Industrial School of Elizabeth City, of which Prof. P. W. Moore is the highly efficient prin cipal. The journal is finely illustrated and has a very handsome appearance otherwise which in it- self reflects credit upon the head of the school. We notice also, and with keen appreciation, the marked growth of the insttution and many additional im- provements which have been made under the direc- tion of Principal Moore, who has, through stren- uous labor and the assistance of his co-workers, continually raised the standard of the school until it is now on a par with the best institutions of its kind in this country. The work of the school shows it to be really one to which the race can point with pride. This year the faculty of the school has been greatly strengthened and its course of study raised two years. Aside from the Normal the school also has an industrial department which is designed to give the students knowledge of scientific and prac- tical agriculture which is very beneficial to stu- dents from rural districts where agricultural pur- suits are generally followed. The school owns forty-one acres of land which is used in practical agricultural demonstrations, The raising of the course of study in the normal department makes it include practice work under the critical eye of trained and experienced instrue- tors. This department of the school is designed to prepare teachers for the public schools of the State and the raising of the curriculum means that the future product of the school will be even more pro- ficient in the art of teaching. ‘This forward step, which makes for better teachers in the public . chools, is indeed a timely one. The heads of the school are to be commended for the rapid strides of advancement they have made during the past few years. The school’s 1917-1918 session begins Monday, September 10. IN THE SEAT OF THE AMBASSADORS Strange things happen every day that we are un! able to find a satisfactory explanation of, but which explain themselves in the long run, and ask no questions of those who have not the knowledge that understands. If it had been told Frederick Douglass in his youth that he would one day be- come the leader and spokesman of a great people, although he was bereft of father and mother and left to the mercy of a brutal and crue) mastr, who scared his back with many stripes, he would have not laughed but shaken his head and said: ‘Such thing cannot be. Yet it came to pass, and more; the fugative slave not only became a leader of his. age, and disputed in the form of debate with the foolish and brake bread with the greatest persons in the land and kings in other lands, and died in a ripe old age considered as one of the immortals be-| cause he had written his name in the book of hu- man achievement. It will remain there, while men Jove freedom and the brave and’heroic. But the slave youth gave nothing of promise of it, except. that when the opportunity came he followed the North Star to liberty and his chance to make good. So with Abraham Lincoln. There was nothng, in his youth or young manhood to lead him to be- lieve or to hope that he would become the chief magistrate of this great republic and the great lib- erator of the slave, the saviour of his country, but ft proved tobe in the end. We cannot always just tell in advance what will be the outcome in the end of any given life. We all think we know in our personal affairs, but do we? ‘Well, here is a story from The Washington ‘Times that will interest the readers of The Journal and Guide and give the philosophers of the race a chance to theorize as to what the thing may mean: A tall, well-fed and corpulont Negro just in town from Virginia and busy seemg the sights of the Capitol made himself at home in the diplomatic gallery of the Senate today. ‘He wandered in through a door guarded by a sleepy watchman, sat down in one of the ambassadorial seats, and listened for a time intently to the debate. Finally a page went to him and transferred him to the public gdiiery. What does it mean? It means this: the African people are, practically, now barred out of the Am- bassadorial seats of every government of the . Christian nations, but the uninvited ambassador of them is sent into the seats of them while the ' watchman sleeps and slumbers, and the time will ‘come when he will go into the same place with as good credentials as the ambassadors of Japan, who + ave'as yellow asche is without and no blacker with- “ins. \“On:- with the dance; let. joy be unconfined;” BRR a toe 1 oo) as iS THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE, DAN THOMAS ROSE FROM THE DEAD |NEGROFARMA A man is not always dead when he is alive, but he is very often alive when he is dead. We see this to be true every day in people who walk about Norfolk as if they were dead, although alive and who act and talk as if they were in a daze of con- fusion and other Hines Ask them what the matter is and they shake*their heads and answer as Charles Dickens did through “Barnaby Rudge,” “It’s a’ muddle; it’s a’ muddle.” The other day Dan Thomas, who works at Fort! Meade, near Baltimore, hired a jitney to take him to the place where he works. When Dan Thomas and the jitney reached Fort Meade it was ascer- tained that Dan did not have the price from Bal- timore to Fort Meade. The jitney man began to mix it with Dan and the latter produced a razor and began to split the air with it. The jiney man retreated upon a rail fence, and securing a rail ad- vanced upon Thomas and laid him out. Dan Thomas was taken to Fort Meade and Col. Klien of the Tenth New York Infantry and a depu- ty sheriff were summoned. The situation was sol- emn. When the question was asked, “When did he die?” Dan Thomas sat up and said: “Boss I aint dead at all.” The inquest was adjournd. Of course Dan Thomas is a colored gentleman. The colored gentleman all over the country is no more dead than was Dan Thomas when Co! Klein inquired into his death. Least of all ‘s he dead at Fort Meade and the other camps of the United States army where soldiers are benig train- d to save the world to democracy and other things. All that is necessary to prove this to be true is to wake him up when he is asleep or call him when he is dead and he is ready “to move on the enemy.” The Afro-American people were never more alive in the national life than they are to-day. They were never more necessary to the National life. They are more likely to overlook this fact than the Nation that is calling for them in all directions to serve while waiting and by the various indus- tries which are clamoring fot their labor, but they should wake up, and take advantage of all that is offered to them, the opportunity which the late Senator J. Ingalls of Kansas said “knocks once at every man’s door, and if he is not ready knocks nc more.” “PI-BLOCK-TO.”” “Pi-Block-To?” ‘Yes. Well, what may that mean? It is Eskimo for “Why, it means crazy.” The answer was given two years ago to Explorer MacMillan when he told the Eskimos at Etah that war was on in Europe. He told them that the 3ermans wanted more land as the cause of the war, they asked: “Why don’t they divide up the land?” The division of the land, the getting all that the Nation thinks it should have of the superficial area of the earth, and of its trade, has been the bone of contention from the beginning,narrowed,of course, to the individual striving to get as much for him and his as the conditions will allow of at the ex- pense of hisand him. The problem of the division of the land and of the opportunity to rule it has made men crazy since the world was young and is doing so now. They are not satisfied with their share of land and rule but seek always the part or whole of the part of their neighbors, and just here is where the row begins and never ends. When will the brotherhood of man take the place of the present enmity which makes every man in sonie sort the victim in trade or otherwise of the other man? The Eskimo people live in the coldest part of the earth, in Greenland and Iceland and all of the rest of the Artic regions, in which mankind have sacri- ficed so many valuable lives and so much money to explore and to understand. They do not think.as we do about anything. They do not dress or house or eat in the way we do, but we imagine that they get more out of life and are happier than we are, and do, because their intelligence seems to be more narrowed and their wants fewer than ours. Those animals are happiest that have fewest wants, that are easily satisfied. Man is the only animal that is not satisfied with anything, but is craving some new thing all the time, and is consequently un- ‘happy most of the time on that account. Truly contentment with little is great gain. BIBLES FOR SOLDIERS. rican Bibile Society is one o izations in existence.

It places in reach of all the Bible, the open book, which all who read it may understand it.if they can, and thus find the only straight way to a proper conception of life and death that we have. All other paths lead us as- tray, it seems, and we grope in the dark anyhow, if we do not understand what we read of the way, the truth and the light. The American Bible Society has furnished 750,- 000 Bibles, for our soldiers, and has promised to supply 1,000,000 more for the same purpose, most- ly through the Young Men’s Christian Associa- tion. ‘The book of books will thus be in hands of ‘most of the men who have been called to face death in battle. May they reaad it and understand it as they face the last enemy of mankind and which none of them have so for conquered. ‘Taking them together, the State of Georgia expects to har- vest crops to the value of $285,000,000 this year.

Toodle, Dal- las County Agent, launched garden campaigns, taught fruit and vegetable drying and canning, and taught tem- edies for treating sick poultry and livestock, F. L, Bennett, another agent-in Wil- cox County, where the floods brought total destruction to food crops last year, this year he stressed food crops ‘with the result that Wilcox has the greatest outlook in its history for a big corn crop. ‘The people in -this county are now planting late gardens. B. F. Hill, Madison County Agent in North Ala., began his work amidst shortage of food stuffs. He too stressed the raising of all kind of food and feed in addition to which he has inoculated 318 hogs for cholera and vacinated 276 cattle for black-legs. Miss N. Juanita Coleman, Home Demonstration Agent, is working among the farm women teaching them to can, sew, preserve and keep house; as is also Miss Susan T. Whitfield. Indeed the work of women agents often brings more immediate results than the work of the men, due to the fact that actual returns can be had on a given operation in one lesson, while the men agents have to wait several months to convince their pu- Pils, Hogs and poultry have been greatly increased in Hale and Marengo Coun- ties by the work of Agent P.

HEALTH TALKS PREVENTIVE and REMEDIAL MEASURES for the CONSERVATION of HEALTH By DR. J. W. PIERCE ae Lee | The subject of this little talk ap- pears to be a very large one, but when reduced, it simply refers to a practice among the laity of treating diseases and physical ailments, that ought to be discouraged and condemned. It is a practice that has its orjgin in super- stition and ignorance. Many a life has paid the price of death for the belief and adherence to a creed and faith based upon false promises, It is not my purpose to discuss the tenets of this sect nor to question with any degre of argument, the genuineness of their spiritual claims, but do question and reject that element which gives undue prominence to the curative fac- tors for physical and organic dis- turbance of the human body, set forth ‘in their institution. I refer to the religious sect that find a healing balm for every derangement of the body upon the basis that their close connec- tion and constant communication with the Creator, every disease of every description will disappear without the human agency of the professional man. Upon this false notion and stubborn resistance to reason and common sense many a grave has received a body whose outlook for a bright future and a servicable life could have been con- served if intélligence and reason had controlled the situation. I have had personal experience on this question as a testimony which no doubt represents a large number of such eases. I sign: ed one death certifieate during my practice that could have: been saved, if the parents had laid aside thei religious and holy belief and allowec some physician to do the proper thing for that youngster. The wrong in this belief, to start with, is the fact that children ar more the victims than the grown-ups They are solely dependent upon pa: Among the oth habits of rooks Is he was tit members of the same rook- ers have of intermarryiug generation after generation. ‘Tbe aates always, choose their wives from among their near nefzbbors, wd (f one should be so bold ay ty bring bome to lis rookery a bride from a distance the other rooks Will invarlully refuse to receive her aud will fyrve thy yur to butld some way off.

But the child has to abide the parental com- mand, 7 |. It is absolutely nonsensical to hopé for results from a treatment of a disease that has produced structual changes in the tissues of the body by ‘the mind or spiritual methods. It is fully agreed and granted that the mental attitude is a very important cousideration in the management of cases of sickness, but it cannot be relied upon altogether for permanent good were physical changes have taken place due to an impending disease. [It is criminal to deny oneself the advantage of medical and surgical help from an unfounded belief of spiritual sufficiency. The one who discards scientific assistance tempts Providence and is himself responsible for early and untimely death, Holiness is an ideal standard to- ward which every rational creature should strive and attain the end as ‘near as humanity will permit. But holiness in the treatment of organic diseases has its limitations and cannot and ought not supersede the physical means which haye been put into the jhands of those capable of emphasizing |them to an advantage. When sick or ailing: consult your doctor. Lay fasite all religious beliefs as a sure curative. Let spiritualism occupy its proper place in the affairs of men, and don't try to make it do the work that must be done by other means and methods. Spirit treatment or mind treatment, per se, cannot take the place of medicine and surgery. Shiloh Notes.

JOHN BROWN A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES. Sunday Sept. 2, marks the beginning of what we hope will be a successful month for our busy membership. We were hoping to raise $15000. At 11 A.M. Rev. Hatcher preached on "The Testimony of Experience" John 9:25. The Holy Spirit honored us greatly. After the sermon Mrs. Julia A. Hatcher the pastor's mother, was introduced and spoke from a heart gushing with joy. She told of how she had always striven to live a Godly life before her children and how happy she was to sit and enjoy the fruits of her faith and prayers. She paid her son high compliment as being always an obedient son.

Our pastor preached from the text "Thy Kingdom Come," emphasizing that we should first let it come into our hearts. It was indeed a powerful sermon. At this service our members and friends gave liberally towards the pastor's trip to Atlanta, Ga., of which you will hear later. At 5:30 our B. Y. P. U. rendered an excellent program which will continue each Sunday. We cordially invite our members and friends. At 8 p. m., our night service began. At this service the pastor preached from Amos 7:7:8. "And behold the Lord made a "plum line and the Lord stood upon the plum line." This sermon will be a lasting one—one to make us get closer to God. We are glad of the two young men who were added to our church last Sunday. Our doors stand open to all who are seeking a home. In last week's issue Deacon Porters trip was incorrectly reported. He spent his vacation in Northampton and Tazewell, Va. Deacon Vass Uphire in Buckroe and Little Bay Beach. Deacon Ryals spent a few days in Petersburg last week. Sister Willie Anna Wilson attended the session of the Gospel Banners in Suffolk last week. Quite a number of our members are on the sick list. Our pastor leaves Tuesstfay, the 4th, for Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Mary Burgess one of our members died Tuesday of this week. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. A large audience was present last Sunday to greet the return of the pastor from his vacation. His morning discourse, "The Coming Kingdom," with reference to text in Matt. 8:10 was very timely and logical and well received by his hearers.
