Greater War Imminent Says Indian Nationalist ASIA RESENTS ENGLAND'S RULE Warns Americans That The Exploitation of Asia Is A Menace To Peace DR. DUBOIS ON THE NEGRO Declares America Will Never Be Able To Think Straight Until It Faces Negro Problem Belport,, L. I.—A war in which the Asiatic peoples, numbering 750,000,000, will be pitted against the Western world, is inevitable if capitalist exploitation of the Far East continues, according to Lajpat Rai, an Indian nationalist, who address the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, in session here. Unless the peace terms at the end of this war included for India and China a position of self-respect and autonomy, he said there would be no permanent peace in the world. "There will be a greater war in twenty-five years which will put this war in the shade," said Mr. Rai, "if the European nations go on with their exploitation of India and China." Mr. Rai's address was one of two on the suppressed and disinherited races of the world, the other being by Dr. W. E. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, in a symposium on "American Democracy and the Negro." "The Hindu suffers not from want of civilization," said Mr. Rai, but from having been civilized. The problem of the Hindu and of the Negro and cognate problems are not local, but world problems. The question is not whether the world can be half democratic and half autocratic, but one-tenth democratic and nine-tenths autocratic. The vast bulk of the peoples of the world live in Africa and Asia. Do you see any proposals as to how the population of Asia and Africa are to be included in the new democracy after the or? And yet plans are being made for a world peace, a lasting peace. The Asiatics are being treated as if they were cattle to be disposed of at the will of those who hold the political strings. What Civilization Means. We are not in a position to assert our rights in the only way they can be asserted by the weapons of modern civilization. We are learning that we were wrong in our conception of civilization. We are learning that to be civilized is not only to be ready for aggression, but to be aggressive. When the 759,000,000 people of India and China learn this lesson of civilization from you, what will happen to the world? Only one small nation on the Pacific Coast has shown how quick they are to learn. They are civilized now. The Japanese is allowed to come into the country because of a gentlemen's agreement. He has become a gentleman. The Chinese, despite his traditions of an ancient art and culture, is not a gentleman. "Most of the wars in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were fought for supremacy in Asia. The possession of India by one nation is a standing menace to the peace of the world. It is as possessors of India that the English have learned to be aggressive and defiant. As possessor of India, England became a world Power. India controls practically the whole of Asia. With Indian blood and Indian money England has built up her welfare. It is to preserve that, to dominate the land and sea routes to India, Mediterranean, Egypt, the Arabian Sea—that they are fighting, and not for anything else." Ral scathingly indicted the Engadministration of Indian affairs. ALL SESSION BEGINS OCTOBER 1, 1917. Strong faculty. Four Year, Academic Course.

"From a nation of artists, thinkers, ministrators, and warriors—the word is no longer in disrepute—they have reduced us to a nation of dependents," he said. Of the £90,000,000 of revenue raised annually in india, said Mr. Rai, £25,000,000 was spent on the army and £4,000,000 on education. "Thirty to forty million pounds are sent to England every year for so-called 'home charges,' for their kindly services in looting us," he said. "After the expenses of Government are defrayed, it leaves an average income of $10 a year in a country supposed to be the richest in the world. Trade figures have doubled and trebled, and also railway mileage, but the industries are all in English hands. "As no man can be happy under slavery so can no nation prosper under political servitude. Political saveries are a curse to the world. If individual theft is a crime, organizational theft is a greater crime. Unless organized theft of nations by other nations is put a stop to, all this talk of world peace is a sophistry. People who talk of democracy and liberty and humanity and do not mean it are greater enemies of the world than those who openly avow capitalism and imperialism." Dr. Du Bois On The Negro. Dr. Du Bois, in his address, said that the United States had never faced the problem of the Negro, and that the nation would never be able to think straight until it did. He showed how a successive periods in the history of the country the issue had been dodged until at present 1,000 Negroes who attended a special camp for officers similar to Plattsbuprgh were having their commissions laid up by the War Department. Dr. Du Bois showed how the problem of the Negro had been siddestepped during the Revolution, when a few Negroes who fought were quietly freed; how the country expanded and people thought the problem dealt with until it became apparent that the additions to the country were simply for the extension of slavery; how the Civil War was not waged on the issue of slavery, but on the issue of the extension of it. "The man called the Emancipator said repeatedly that what he was fighting for was the Union, and that he would maintain slavery to preserve the Union," said Dr. Du Bois. The plantation system which followed the Civil War was a caste system for Negroes, he said, and the Negroes are bottled up in the south on a scale of living far below that of any civilized land. "The trade unions have organized to keep the Negro out of the North," said Dr. Du Bois, "and, for instance, by the constitutions of the unions no Negro can become a railroad switchman. Believes In The War. "Now comes the world war, and I am free to confess I am one of those who believe the war ought to be fought. I know how horrible and nasty war is. But I am one of those who have seen how horrible and nasty peace can be." Dr. Du Bois then referred to the "mudslit" theory of society, according to which there must be people at the bottom of civilized society who cannot be raised. He then said he was curiously unmoved at what the Government had done to suppress free speech. "But I know how many subjects there are which you can discuss, but you won't. The Negro problem is not intricate. You simply cannot get people to listen to it. You would be astonished at the difficulty with which the Conuference of Charities and Corrections could even be got to discuss the problem." [Cries of "Shame!"] TIDEWATER FAIR WILL BE BEST EVER HELD General Manager W. H. Crocker of the Tidewater Fair Association was in the City Wednesday perfecting arrangements for the great fair which is to take place in Suffolk on October 23, 24, 25 and 26th.

OPEN ALL THE LABOR UNIONS TO COLORED National Labor Organ Sees Solution of Labor Troubles In Such Action WILL AVOID RACE FRICTION Admits That Many of the Unions Have Discriminated Against Negro Workers. Chicago, Ill.,—"Let us open all unions to the Negro," says the Chicago Labor News, in commenting on a report of the East St. Louis race riots in which discrimination of unions against the Negro was criticized. The labor paper admits that "many of the unions have discriminated shame fully against the Negro." It adds, "And we condemn them heartily for so doing." The News continues, "It is ridiculous to say that the I. W. W. is the only labor organization that welcomes the Negro. In the United Mine Workers alone, at the present time, there are more Negroes than the I. W. W. has had all told in its ranks since it was founded. And this takes no account of the thousands of Negroes in scores of other trade unions. The Asphalt Pavers Union of Chicago, one of the best in the city, is composed entirely of Negroes. So is local No. 208 of the musicians. And of the Chicago Flat Janitors Union, which ranks high among the most powerful and militant organizations in this country, fully 25 percent of the 7,000 members are colored. Various other similar examples could be cited." WILMINVTON, N. C. The Board of Trustees of the United Sons and Daughters of Salem Society were re-elected last Friday night.

WILSON DEFINES OBJECT OF WAR To Deliver Free People From Menace Of Vast Military Establishment. "The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government which, having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry the plan out without regard either to the sacred obligations of treaty or the long-established practices and long-cherished principles of international action and honor; which chose its own time for the war; delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier either of law or of mercy; swept a whole continent within the tide of blood—not the blood of soldiers only, but the blood of innocent women and children also and of the helpless poor; and now stands balked but not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the world." —From President Wilson's Reply to the Pope. NOMINATED FOR N. Y. ASSEMBLY New York City—Late returns from Wednesday's primary election show the nomination on the Republican ticket in a Harlem district of Edward A.

Members of the Publication Committee are busy collecting advertising matter and other interesting data regarding subjects of particular interest to colored business men aid women. They report a successful campaign so far. The committee reports that the Negro business men and women in Tidewater and other sections of the state have seen the necessity for and felt the influence of the publication and are rallying with one accord to its support. Already, before the canvass is completed a large amount of advertising space has been sold and much data collected. The committee also reports that from every viewpoint the coming Bulletin will eclipse all former editions. Besides containing a full report of the proceedings of the State League meeting it will contain articles from leading business men in and out of the State which will be instructive and inspiring to those who are fortunate enough to read them. Other valuable information which the publication will contain will make it a complete index to Negro business. Among the contributors for the coming issue are Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of the National League; Mr. C. C. Spaulding, vice-president of North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association; Mr. George W. Blount of Southern Aid Society; Mr. J. T. P.

Mr Holsey also tells how it may be applied with success in other communities. There are other features too numerous to mention. Four thousand copies will be published for distribution and it is the aim of the committee to get the publication into the hands of business men and women free of all charge.

LOVE AND CHARITY MEETING Annual Session Of Grand Tabernacle Shows Order In Fine Shape. Windsor, N. C.—The forty-fifth annual meeting of the Grand Tabernacle of the Love and Charity organization of North Carolina was held in the town of Windsor, N. C., September 17th and 18th. Rev. J. W. Faulk, G. W. S. of Weldon, presided. Fully 250 delegates were present from various parts of the state. The first days was spent in routine business, such as enrolling of delegates, appointing committees, and introducing new representatives. The second day was truly "a field day," when all the work of the session was largely done. The meeting began with the annual address of the presiding officer, Rev. J. W. Faulk, which was optimistic throughout. He discussed among other things, the state of the country, "the great war," and the migration of the colored people from the south to the north. He advised the delegates to discourage this movement. He also advised the colored people to be loyal to the government in the present crisis. The address was received with applause. Following this Mr. J. P. Butler, of Jamesville, presented his annual report, as superintendent of the benevolent department. He reported as follows: total receipts, $9875.25; total death claims paid, $9585.25; total number of deaths, 71. He recommended that after the first of January, 1918 the policies be fixed at $150, instead of $100 as they now stand. He further reported that $4500 had been deposited with the state insurance commissioner, and that five hundred dollars would soon be added to this sum. He recommended that the death claim in the juvenile department be raised to fifty dollars. He had a balance on hand in the children's department of $1037.57. The benevolent department, which is voluntary, is in fine shape. brought forward from last year in the general fund of $1704.79. and that nothing had been paid out since the last meeting. The statistical committee reported that there were 250 lodges with an aggregate membership of more than thirteen thousand. Rocky Mount was chosen as the next place of meeting, and the delegates will be expected to pay seventy-five cents a day for board and lodging. Mrs. Eliza McGarey, of Wilmington, and Mrs. Marie Beebe, of Fayetteville, were elected as delegates to the National Grand Tabernacle to meet in New York September 27th. The old officers were re-elected by acclamation! Dr. C. S. Brown presented the rural school extension work, and a donation of twenty-five dollars were given to aid this movement. The meetings throughout were delightfully harmonious. On Wednesday evening, the sessions came to a close with a public service held in St. Elmo Church. The sermon was preached by Dr. C. S. Brown; following which the officers were installed, and a death claim paid. $501.00 CASH RAISED FOR FRENCH WAR ORPHANS Equally As Much In Pledges Remain Unpaid.—Closing Rally Held Last Sunday The closing rally of the campaign to raise funds for French War Orphans and Widows which has been conducted here by Mr. Chas S. Morris, field secretary of the Colored American Association, was held Sunday afternoon at the Palace Theatre and was attended by a large and enthusiastic audience. About $40.00 was received in the collection at the close of the meeting, bringing the total amount of cash raised to date to $500.06. The program Sunday afternoon was featured by some good speeches. Dr. T. Edwin Baird made an impressive and eloquent plea using as his theme the biblical text, "Am I my brother's keep," emphasizing everyone's Christian duty to widows and orphans as well as the patriotic service to be rendered in the particular case of the French war sufferers. Secretary Morris made one of the best addresses of his career, bringing the audience to its feet in frequent storms of applause. The main speech of the evening was made by J. Thomas Newsome, the celebrated criminal lawyer of Newport News. "A Real Democracy" was Mr. Newsome's theme and the eloquent lawyer held the audience spellbound for fifty minutes. Miss Daisy Syke sang a very beautiful solo and Mrs. Chas. S. Morris, Sr., recited an original poem that greatly pleased the audience. Attorney Walter H. Land presided with his usual dignity. Dr. Chas. S. Morris pronounced the benediction. STRIKE OF RAILROAD MEN YET UNSETTLED No Agreement Reached Between Rocky Mount Strikers And Their Employers (By James A. Clark) Rocky Mount, N. C.—Very little progress has been made in settling the "walk-out" of the five hundred colored laborers in the Atlantic Coast Line shops here. Citizens of both races appear anxious that these men should get the increased wage fixed by the government. The railroad officials have refused to yield after several conferences with committees representing both races. An understanding had been almost reached through the efforts of Rev. M. A. Talley, whereby the railroad promised to restore the men to work at the same pay given white men for the same work, but when the union asked for a written statement is was refused and the officials declared they only intended to give the men ordinary laborers' work, because most of the vacancies as machinists' helpers had been filled by white men and there was a growing sentiment on the part of the company and the white union to exclude the men from these positions. Agreement In Norfolk Strike As we go to press we learn that the strike at the Norfolk Stemmery of The American Cigar Co., has been settled, the 300 women involved and the officials of the company having reached SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS On Page 6 PRICE:_ FIVE CENTS treatment ican Citizens MAKE LYNCHING FEDERAL CRIME National Equal Rights League Petitions Congress to Enforce Present Laws.

Wilson abolish segregation of government clerks and recommend to Congress enactment of laws— (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments which forbid peonage and disfranchisement; (b) To make lynching a federal crime; (c) To forbide segregation by race in interstate travel, or in federal territory.

It was at prompt a quarter till eight o'clock when the church doors were thrown open and the immense throng waiting outside began to pour in. The floral decorations were ferns and goldenrods. The color scheme was rainbow being carried out in the costumes of the attendants. Just before the bridal party entered, Mrs. David Washington Lee of Suffolk, Va., with exquisite sweetness sang, "Love, Here Is My Heart." She was accompanied by Prof. Liggins of Norfolk, who also played the wedding marches. As the soft strains of Lohengrin's famous wedding march floated tremulously down the aisles and nave of the church, the bridal party headed by the ushers, bridesmaids, maid of honor and the matron of honor began the march to the altar. The bride entered the church preceded by the two little Misses Ida Spellman and Sarah Keeling, in white frocks and carrying baskets of china asters strewing before the bride. The bride was beautifully gowned in mother of pearl charmeuse trimmed with silver lace with court train attached. Other trimmings were seed pearls and carbeshans while her veil of tulle was arranged from a coronet of rhine stone and she carried a shower bouquet of Bride's roses.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE CREATING TENANT FARMERS RIGHTS Iant farmers in the South have had very little courage them. The average man farming the old crop lien and tenant system has for just as deep if not deeper in debt in order as he was in March, and after a hard scrapping around for an existence for and family he has started out in Spring time gloomy prospect of ending the crop out. It is no wonder that under such tenant-farming has impoverished much agricultural lands of the South devoted to use and has driven thousands of young manities who under more favorable conditions have devoted their lives to farming. In which tenants have been dealt with land-owners is largely responsible for actions. There is a growing sentiment, throughout the South, in favor of giving farmers a better chance. A land owner will of the agricultural papers lays down the of practice which he follows in dealing with tenants: Treat them right. Get your profits out of the low farming methods, and not by high time price, interest rates and padded accounts. The Gold is not only right, but it's good business. It develop the sense of responsibility. It does not be nagging all the time about minute details. It don't concern me when my tenants get up or go when they start work or if they rest Saturday, provided their crops are clean and weed. I want results, and let them understand their count. I make them responsible. Nor do those to quarrel or argue; life's too short for petrals. There are certain fundamental things done, and if these cannot be done cheerfully, the company without further ado. Make big yields by following good methods. The easier for big yields per acre, for this is the only profit. I believe in the legumes and use them our present high prices for staple crops I believe applications of commercial fertilizers and tenants go to the lands that have a reputation and paying yields. Could be difficult to estimate the fortunes been built in the South upon high time price, interest rates and padded accounts at the level of ignorant white and black tenant farm. Golden Rule method is best in dealing with whether it is on the farm, in the factory, branch of industrial operations, and it is going to note that some men are finding have the courage to acknowledge the fact. TREATING TENANT FARMERS RIGHT. Tenant farmers in the South have had very little to encourage them. The average man farming under the old crop lien and tenant system has found himself just as deep if not deeper in debt in November as he was in March, and after a hard winter at scrapping around for an existence for himself and family he has started out in Spring with the same gloomy prospect of ending the crop year in debt. It is no wonder that under such conditions tenant-farming has impoverished much of the agricultural lands of the South devoted to that purpose and has driven thousands of young men to the cities who under more favorable conditions would have devoted their lives to farming. The manner in which tenants have been dealt with by many land-owners is largely responsible for past conditions. There is a growing sentiment, however, throughout the South, in favor of giving tenant farmers a better chance. A land owner writing in one of the agricultural papers lays down three rules of practice which he follows in dealing with his tenants: 1. Treat them right. Get your profits out of the land by good farming methods, and not by high time prices, high interest rates and padded accounts. The Golden Rule is not only right, but it's good business. 2. Develop their sense of responsibility. It does not pay to be nagging all the time about minute details. It doesn't concern me when my tenants get up or go to bed, when they start work or if they rest Saturday afternoons, provided their crops are clean and well worked. I want results, and let them understand that results count. I make them responsible. Nor do I propose to quarrel or argue; life's too short for petty bickerings. There are certain fundamental things I want done, and if these cannot be done cheerfully, then we part company without further ado. 3. Make big yields by following good methods. I'm a sticker for big yields per acre, for this is the only way to profits. I believe in the legumes and use them but with our present high prices for staple crops I believe in heavy applications of commercial fertilizers also. Good tenants go to the lands that have a reputation for big and paying yields. It would be difficult to estimate the fortunes that have been built in the South upon high time prices, high interest rates and padded accounts at the expense of ignorant white and black tenant farmers. The Golden Rule method is best in dealing with labor, whether it is on the farm, in the factory or in any branch of industrial operations, and it is encouraging to note that some men are finding it so and have the courage to acknowledge the fact. A GREATER WAR PREDICTED men that are now being made for a world- war the Anglo-Saxon peoples and their Teutonians have exhausted themselves in the pro-ject, are liable to be upset, according to the man of Mr. Lajpat Rai, an East Indian of nation- dominence. Unless the populations of Asia are to be included in the new demol- of the war, Mr. Rai sees a new war, far more than this one, in which 750,000,000 peo- ple darker races of the East will be put at the Western world. from the same platform upon which the vo- siatics was heard in such thunderous tug DuBois, leader of Negro thought in Am- one American people that they had never negro problem and that the nation would be able to think straight until it did. Both of these men of the darker skinned races are pro- that the Anglo-Saxons might do far worse. The civilized Asiatics will surely have been with before there can be any true de- or before there can be any world-peace tug. And America can go on dodging the Nazi but it will eventually have to be faced if it is faced right it will be settled right, it is no true democracy or permanent, is country until it is settled right. Plans that are now being made for a world-peace after the Anglo-Saxon peoples and their Teutonic cousins have exhausted themselves in the present conflict, are liable to be upset, according to the prediction of Mr. Lajpat Rai, an East Indian of national prominence. Unless the populations of Asia and Africa are to be included in the new democracy after the war, Mr. Rai sees a new war, far more terrible than this one, in which 750,000,000 peoples of the darker races of the East will be pitted against the Western world. From the same platform upon which the voice of the Asiatics was heard in such thunderous tones, Dr. DuBois, leader of Negro thought in America old the American people that they had never faced the Negro problem and that the nation would never be able to think straight until it did. Both of these spokesmen of the darker skinned races are prophets that the Anglo-Saxons might do far worse than heed. The civilized Asiatics will surely have to be reckoned with before there can be any true democracy or before there can be any world-peace that is lasting. And America can go on dodging the Negro problem but it will eventually have to be faced, and when it is faced right it will be settled right, and here will be no true democracy or permanent peace in this country until it is settled right. CURTAILING POLICE AUTHORITY the mayor of Houston, Tex., believes that he should have ample authority in the matters and ample latitude in the use of it. He does not favor the unnecessary and use of either, as evidenced by the following one of his: "I am going to have put into the civil service rule case providing for the immediate and permanent sal from the police department of any man with his gun or club any person, black or white in defending his own life or protecting him in immediate serious injury. The wrong conception of authority has caused policemen to commit high crimes in the law. The course determined upon by his mayor is the only sensible way to keep a policeman from exceeding his authority." The mayor of Houston, Tex., believes that the police should have ample authority in the making of arrests and ample latitude in the use of arms, but he does not favor the unnecessary and unwise use of either, as evidenced by the following statement of his: I am going to have put into the civil service rules a clause providing for the immediate and permanent dismissal from the police department of any man who strikes with his gun or club any person, black or white, except in defending his own life or protecting himself from immediate serious injury. The wrong conception of authority has caused many policemen to commit high crimes in the name of the law. The course determined upon by the Texas mayor is the only sensible way to keep the average policeman from exceeding his authority.

As much as he hates cold weather, he is not deterred from drifting toward the North star. He does not want to go, but nothing is being done to restrain him.

Nashville Office, Frost & Frost, Independent Life THE CASE OF THE WOMEN STRIKERS For three weeks three hundred colored women have conducted a strike which has been so effective that it closed entirely the operations of one of Norfolk's largest industries, the American Cigar Company's local stemmery. The women quit work because, as they affirm, they were not earning a living wage, and that certain overhead conditions in the plant were not satisfactory. At the time of our going to press officials of the company had agreed to meet practically all of the demands of the women with two exceptions: the granting of a wage of $1.25 a day to women floor laborers and the recognition of the union to which the women belong. The factory management questions the justice of the wage demand. They say that $1.25 per day is an excessive wage for an unskilled working woman. They have been paid heretofore an average of 70 cents per day, for a ten hour day, 55 hours a week for house rent, food, fuel, clothing, insurance, church dues, lodge dues and incidentals. The items will run about as follows: In view of the present living conditions The Journal and Guide is of the opinion that there are justice and reason in the demand of the women. We do not believe that under present conditions any adult laborer, man or woman, can subsist upon much less than the factory women are asking. The average woman who works in the factory of the American Cigar Company has to provide every week for house rent, for house rent, food, fuel, clothing, insurance, Church dues, lodge dues and incidentals. The items will run about as follows: House rent..... $1.00 Fuel..... .75 Food..... 3.00 Clothing..... 1.00 Insurance..... .25 Church dues..... .25 Lodge dues..... .25 Incidentals..... .25 $7.25 At $1.25 a day the women would earn $5.87 a week, as the working time at the factory is 5½ days. Every item mentioned above is absolutely essen- tial to the existence of a working woman. Insur- ance, church dues and lodge dues are just as asse- ntial as bread and meat. Were it not for these three things every working woman of the tobacco fac- ory element that got sick would most likely die from lack of attention and be buried as a pauper. Even if a woman is married or has other working members in her family her prorata of house rent cannot fall below $1.00 per week, nor fuel allowance less than 75c with slab wood selling at $8 per cord and coal at $9.50 per ton. It sounds almost ridiculous to estimate the cost of clothing a woman at the present time at $1.00 per week. It would take a five weeks' allowance to buy one pair of shoes that would be at all servicable. And with white pork selling at 30c a pound, flour at 10c, meal at 7c, peas 30c a quart, beans 40c a quart and pork steak 45c a pound a woman that undertook to live on less than $3 worth of provisions a week would not be able to work at all. So in view of these conditions it appears to us that there are both justice and reason in the demands that the striking tobacco stemmers are making for a living wage. If this labor is so non-productive that it will not warrant a living wage the factory should so reorganize its operations as to eliminate such non-productive time. FINE SHOWING OF OUR SOLDIERS The fine physical showing of our young men who were assigned to the officers Reserve Camp at Des Moines, Iowa, flatly contradicts the oft-repeated claim emanating from so-called scientific authorities that the race is abnormally infected with certain diseases. Out of 1,300 men examined at Fort Des Moines only 5 of them showed traces of venereal infection. We dare say that this is a record as good as could be established by any similar group of men selected from America's white population or from the populations of any of the nations now at war. Mny groups of colored men who were caught in the selective draft have also made exceptional records for physical fitness. The Greensboro Daily News explains the failure of its section to supply its percentage of the second call from the white lists by saying that the Negroes of Greensboro outnumber the whites on the eligible list in proportion to population because the Negro stood BETTER physical examinations. When a real test comes many widely advertised theories reflecting upon the physical stamina of the race are explod- COLORED PAPERS. Some of our people cannot see the use for a colored paper or the need for subscribing to the same until they want personalis published. After they receive that favor they never think of the paper again. They never stop to consider the enormous expense of publishing the paper. Our people should at least support one colored paper in our city as in doing so we are encouraging race enterprises, and it is only through the medium of our own journals that we learn of the good being accomplished by us as a people. The white papers will not publish our virtues but only magnify our mistakes, yet we all patronize white papers, contributing our money to the support of the same daily, and only think of our colored papers when we want something free published. Papers are not published just for the fun of it, nor for the love of journalism, but it is a business proposition, run on business bases like any other business and it takes money to do it. We are not writing directly to our people at home, but to all of them over the entire country, for we believe all colored papers are afflicted with that same class designated as "free customers," who never give it a thought that it takes money to run the colored papers as well as the white ones. If you have not thought of the matter in this light, then do so now, as every cent contributed to enterprises run by our race is a well spent investment for our boys and girls. Your children will never edit white papers, nor manage large white manufacturing establishments, then let us learn to place our money where our future generations may reap the benefit. Every foreign race which lands on our shores, no matter how illiterate will succeed in business, why? Because he has learned race unity. That is the underlying principal of his success. In those two small words will alone be found our salvation and the solution of our problems. Education will help only in that it serves to teach us the true significance of the words, race unity—St. Luke Herald. ROANOKE INSTITUTE TO THE FRONT. This school which is the object of Baptist interest from an educational viewpoint of the Northeastern part of N. C., was freed from a debt of long standing Sept. 2, when the Woman's Educational Union of that section laid over $800 in cash on the table at their annual meeting at Moyock Sept. 2. This was the 9th annual session and it proved to be the most successful in every way. Mrs. Margaret B. Burke the President had asked her followers to bring up $500, and what was their glad surprise when the last figures brought up the enormous sum. There is as a result great rejoicing among the members of Roanoke Association and the Woman's Union in particular because of the amount raised thereby freeing their beloved school of debt that had been made in 1904 when their present large building was erected. The attendance was the best in its history, spiritual enthusiasm was high and money was there too. The ladies conducted themselves in the highest manner possible becoming Christians. The people of Moyock entertained the delegation nicely and all went well during the time the Union was in session. The only regrettable affair was the lack of railroad accommodations to bring the very large delegation home Sunday night. Extra cars were asked for in time but it seemed that the Norfolk Southern Railroad was too busy and therefore our request went by unheeded and we were compelled to pack ourselves into the already crowded coaches like sardines in a box. The First Baptist Church Union at Hertford under the leadership of that most magnificent Christian woman Mrs. Jennie Burke snatched the banner from Corner Stone Union which had been leading for several years, by bringing $102. from her union and its auxiliaries. Mrs. Leah Mann brought $50. from her Union at Roper and Mrs. Hattie F. Graves $50. from Corner Stone. Other churches had good reports. All officers were re-elected or rather no one thinks of offices at the Union all seem to be satisfied with their workers. They adjourned to meet at Welch's Chapel next year Thursday before the 1st Sunday in September. It was decided before adjournment that a mortgage burning would be held at the Institute Thanksgiving Day. The churches of Roanoke Association will be asked to send a contribution as a dormitory nest egg. Prof. C. F. Graves to whose organization this Union owes its existence was on hand and rendered sympathetic service in every way for the sisters. Dr. R. R. Cartwright Moderator was there too. Most excellent and fervid discourses were given by Revs. David Jennings, W. E. Sanderlin and J. A. Nimmo. Mrs. Sykes, wife of Prof. Sykes of Norfolk was an interested visitor and Mrs. Holmes of N.

After an illness of little over two weeks Mrs. Theressa Clarke formerly of Norfolk, Va., now of Cape Charles passed away to the great beyond Wednesday, Sept. 19th. Only a few in the community knew of her illness and on hearing of her death was a shock to all. The funeral services took place Friday afternoon at the First Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. P. W. Cooke, who preached a most excellent sermon. Several others spoke. She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, father, one sister, two brothers and many relatives and friends. FAIRSVILLE, VA.

THE IDEAL PLAYERS MAKING GOOD AT THE PALACE The Ideal Players held the sway at the Palace this week and presented a splendid musical comedy during the first half. The company has some very good and capable artists in it, each one seems well adapted to his or her relative position with the aggregation. The female members all can sing, they sang well individually as well as in chorus. Then they are not a bad looking bunch either, their costumes were good the Hawaiian dance as well as other dances were all morally clean, much better than some other companies that have been here. Grace ling the contraltoist was exceptionally good in her several song hits she made good with the crowds that were very large during the week. Lena Leggette the leading sopranoist was good too. Tom Delaney and Jimmie Dick comedians were exceptions, they are on the old line, and carry you back to the old time comedians that were real, they are naturally funny and are not actors but just born that way. Tom Delaney's singing "A Skimption" was a rave and was enced. Gene Bill, Chinese Impersonator had a heavy roll and went through with it grand, causing much laughter by his exact resemblance of the Celestians. Gus Smith as an American soldier just arriving from Hawaii was fair, he had some patriotic stuff that was good. Mr. Smith is the manager and producer of the company and said in conversation with the Journal and Guide representative, "We are trying to create a new era in the Negro show life by producing only high class, clean and progressive acts." The show, the first half of the week proved that he is putting his intentions into practice. The last half of the week a stirring drama of the underworld is being presented, entitled "At Gambler Dan's" and "On the Levee" a heart touch musical play of the dear old sunny south. There are ten on the roster, namely: Gus Smith, producer and manager; Tom Delaney and Jimmie Dick, black face comedians; Gene Bill, Chinese Impersonator; Grace King, Contralto; Lena Legette, leading Soroan; Mabel Arrant, Aarabella Goins, Elnora Harris and David Jones.

MAY DEFER SECOND CALL Colored Men May Not Be Called to The Colors On October Third As First Reported According to information given out by the local exemption board it appears that the colored men of the selective draft army will not be called on October 3rd as first reported, but that the call will be deferred. It is thought that this is due to the fact that the government has not yet completed arrangements for the colored troops at the various cantonments. FRANKLIN, VA. (By Miss Ada Urquhart.)

Having been educated at Wilberforce University and Payne Theological Seminary, Wilberforce, Ohio, he is prepared to interest and enlighten the most intellectual, and, at the same time, he so simplifies the gospel that the illiterate and even the children can understand.

During the past five years he has labored in Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Kentueky, Michigan, West Virginia, Colorado and Massachusetts, New York, Indiana and in Canada, traveling fifteen hundred miles to conduct one campaign. Music will be a special feature of the campaign to be conducted by Dr. R. A. Adams at the St. John's Church. A Great Chorus of more than one hundred voices is being assembled to sing at each service. The choir will be under the personal direction of the Evangelist, who also sings, plays piano, organ, violin and cornet, the cornet being his favorite instrument. The cornet used was a present by the Gospel Choir at Toledo, Ohio. Members of the church choirs of the city and other Christian singers are invited to attend these services and assist in the work of this department. Dr. R. A. Adams, has devoted much time to the study of Eugenics, Sociology, Sex-Hygiene, and associate subjects, has studied and investigated conditions in every section of the country, and is competent to give information places it is believed that them maecot and helpful instructions. In many places it is believed that the campaign of enlightenment, conducted by means of these special addresses has been productive of more real good than the actual conversions. Because of his investigations and special preparation along these lines, the Evangelist has been for five years president of the National Home Purity League for the Redemption of the Home, in which position he has done much to awaken the people. The following are some of the subjects to be discussed: "Higher Eugenics," "Weakness of the Eugenic Marriage Laws," "The Feasibility of Eugenic Marriages." Special addresses to men are: "Exalted Manhood," "Sins of Men," and "The Sins of Youth." Addresses to Mothers and older Women are: "Motherhood in Relation to Heredity," "Importance of Pre-Natal Influence," Importance of Environment," "Ideal Womanhood," "God's Model Woman," and "Perplexing Problems of Mothers." For Young women the subjects are: "The Cause of Physical Degeneracy," "The Young Woman and the Social Evils," "Mistakes in Marriages," "The Crowning Sin of Womanhood," "The Evils of the Social Dance," "The Ragtime Curse." These subjects will be discussed some briefly, some at length, during the campaign, and the people would do well to attend the meeting and to listen First Baptist Church. Rev.

After lesson study Prof. D. J. Jordan, A. M., addressed the Sunday School on the lesson and spoke words of praise to the Supt. and teachers. At 11 A. M., Rev. Hatcher preached a special sermon to the men. Subject: "The Man Whom God Will Deliver," Dan. 6:22. This was another one of those deep spiritual discourses which we enjoy from time to time. Mrs. Rosa Bassett was installed a stewardess. Prof. Jordan and Rev. Wright a Presbyterian minister made remarks complimenting the people on their pastor and manner of worship. Prof. Jordan spoke of "1 Cannot Drift" of which Rev. Hatcher is the author, as a song that appealed to all men everywhere. He said it was an art, a classic. At night the exercises were conducted at the Booker T. Washington High School. Dr. R. J. Matthews presided with grace and dignity. After a musical program by the Men's Choir and Sunday School Orchestra, Prof. Jordan delivered a masterly address on "The Measure Of A Man." This was a forceful common-sense talk which met the approval of an intelligent audience. Sunday, Sept. 30 is Woman's Day all day. At 11 A. Rev. Hatcher will preach a special sermon to women on "The Strength Of The Feminine" John 20:10, 11. Notice this antithesis found in this text: The Disciples Went, But Mary Stood." Be sure to hear this.

Armstead preached the funeral sermon, commending the bereaved ones to Him who doeth all things well. Emanuel Church Notes. The attendance was large at every service last Sunday. At the morningour Dr. Hunter preached on "The value of a Soul." At night he answered the question, "How will Jesus Treat me when He comes Again." Both serbs were strong and striking. Great enthusiasm was manifested at each of the services, including the fine echo meeting of the A. C. E. L., and there were two accessions at the eveningour.

The services at the First Baptist Church last Sunday were highly instructive, profoundly spiritual, and very enthusiastic. At 11:30 Prof. D. G. Jacox preached an able sermon to a large and appreciative audience. His subject was "Sin and its Cure. It was the verdict of those present that he handled his subject in a masterly style. At 3:30 p.m., another large audience assembled to hear Rev. A. C. Tillery of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Princess Anne. His subject was "The Eneampment of Angels around the Servants of Jehovah. He electrified his audience by the logical and spiritual manner that characterized the delivery of his sermon. Owing to uncomfortable condition of our building we did not hold night service. Offering for the day $41.10. Both the community and church regret very much hat Mr. Blair Perry and family will move to Hampton in the very near future. Mr. Perry will be associated with his former instructor in the tailoring business. This family has done splendid work in the First Baptist Church during their stay with us. Mrs. Jennie Jones left last week for Suffolk to spend some time with her friends and relatives. Mrs. Mamie Bellamy returned from Elizabeth City, N. C., last week. While there she visited her relatives and many friends. The meeting of the Pentecostal Holiness Church was well attended last week and Sunday. The church attended the General Convocation which was held at the Norfolk Holiness Church on Goff Street. It was represented by 8 different states. The meeting at 3 o'clock was conducted by Deacon V. R. Green. The pastor was present at 7:30 p. m. and preached to a large crowd. Sister Mason from Philadelphia addressed the audience at 3 o'clock on "Divine Healing." The offering lifted was $5.70. The report to the General Convocation from the South Hill church was as follows: members on roll 43; deaths 1, amount collected since last May $478.85. Miss Annie Wilks returned home last Sunday after spending 3 weeks with her cousin V. R. Green. A thorough canvass among the citizens of South Hill very soon looking toward the improvement of the streets of this place. Mr. Robertson, one of Berkley's most prominent real estate men has promised to give $50.00 to the support the movement. It is hoped that the men of the place who cannot help financially will give a day's work. Assistance will be asked from the supervisors of the County.

Easter and her niece, Mrs. Annie Ashe, were called to Norfolk, Va., Sunday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Easter's nephew, Mr. William H. Harrison, Jr., who died in New York City some days ago. The Rev. R. H. Bowling, of Norfolk, was the guest of Mrs. Ida V. Easter last week. Some of our boys who were drafted for the war are beginning to sit up and look anxiously about going, on account of the recent notice to the effect that they are to be called for mobilization at the training cantonments October the 3rd. But they are chortling over the recent announcement that the states having the largest Negro populations will be called first. Of the first seven, Georgia stands first, and Virginia seventh. It may be a long way to the cantonment camps, after all. The Christian School, under the principalship of Mrs. Ida V. Easter, had a very large opening on Monday of last week. This school is in that part of the city known as "Philadelphia." This too, is one of our private schools, and is being canvassed against by some others. The school board has rented three rooms in the Samaritan Hall for primary grades, and has put in several new teachers in the public schools of the city. There are yet several hundred boys and girls who do not attend any school. Monday showed a very large increase in all the schools. The Suffolk N. Training School now has an enrollment of 87 boys and girls. Several are from the county and are boarding in private families. The funeral of Mrs. Virginia Hagans wife of Mr. Junius Hagans, who died at late home in Pine Street last week, was held from the Pine Street Methodist church Sunday morning. Prof. W. H. Tate, who was called to Raleigh, N. C., some days ago on account of the death of his mother, has returned to the city, and has resumed the recitation of his music classes. Miss Elsie Edwards, of Murphy's Mill, is spending the week with the Misses Caryl and Goller Fuller in Pine Street. The Rev. Dr. Timms, of Franklin, Va., the guest of Rev. and Mrs. W. M. Bridgeford in Tynes Street, last week. Mrs. Hattie Bernard of Wilson St. has returned from an extended visit to relatives and friends ni Raleigh, Ashville, Durham and Wake Forest, N. C. It is suggested by some of our thoughtful citizens that inimaguch as it is very necessary for white Home Guards for the city, on account of the white soldiers leaving, it might also be necessary to have a colored Home Guard. It is a question now up to our far-seeing Citizens' Committee to stand up and look wisely, for many of our boys may have to go, too. Several members of the Eureka Club of Portsmouth, Va., motored to this city Monday evening and were elaborately entertained by several of our young people at Crocker's Hall. Entertained At his home in East Washington street last Thursday evening, Mr. Robert Williams most elaborately entertained his nieces, the Misses Robbie and Willie S. Twitty, in honor of their school mates, Misses Flossie Gale, of Pheobus, Va., and Misses Willie M. Byrd and Harriet Brown, of Norfolk, Va. There were some 30, or more invited guests present. The visiting guests were given an automobile ride in and about the city, Friday afternoon by Miss Alethia Jones. Later in the evening Mr. Williams again entertained by giving, a Luncheon-Matinee. There were plates for ten. Games and dancing enlivened the occasion. The dining room was beautifully decorated in pink and blue, while the large library room was elaborately decorated in patriotic colors. Those are two of the first and most delightful entertainments of the season. Our Fair. If you will slightly read the announcement of the 8th Annual fair to be held here the 21 to 26 of next month, you will find some changes in it. The ever ready and hustling management is leaving no stone unturned that will make the occasion both pleasant and profitable for all who come. Those who are expecting to spend several days at the fair would do well to write to Mr. W. H. Crocker for accommodations and rates. Every man, woman and child in the city and county is in front—pulling together to make Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Griffin, Agents Tidewater Virginia. And why not? Is it not one of the best Negro enterprises? It is owned and controlled absolutely by Negroes. Of course, we have the patronage and best wishes of our white friends. And this is very gratefully appreciated by the management. Will you be here? We shall expect you every day. The October Number of The Virginia State Business League Bulletin is expecting to make its appearance on time. Those who wish a free copy are requested to leave their names at this once by the 15th. And those who taking advertisement space are most gratefully asked to see this representative at once. Some of our friends are inclined to think that no advertisements from our white friends should appear in this Negro effort to what we are doing for our own business. But those who have the heavy burden of this effort think differently. There is not, enough of our own people so deeply interested as to take the required space of advertisement that will meet the exceses of the printing. SEE? Among Our Churches. It is a source of very great pleasure to one who is very deeply interested, to note the advance of our city and churches. For they are going right along, inspite of the great war, as if nothing is happening. The Sharon Baptist Association was held with the Bethany Baptist Church, near Chuckatuck, last week, with the Moderator, the Rev. Dr. J.A. Harrell, of this city, presiding. It was very largely attended by visitors and delegates from this and other counties. Many of the distinguished ministers from other cities and counties were in attendance. It is said, by one who has been attending associations for more than 25 years, that it was the most harmonious ever held by the Baptist people. Not one inharmonious word was heard during the whole of the three days' sessions. This is about he youngest, if not the youngest Association in the State. The total collections for all purposes were more than $300. The Norfolk District Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church, was held with Allen Temple church, in East Suffolk, last week, with the Presiding Elder, Rev. S. P. Cooke, D. D., presiding. That he maintained his ability as a presiding officer, is an established fact in the minds and hearts of the very large delegation, and many others from all over the district, is beyond question. The reports from the several churches were exceedingly good. The Rt. Rev. G. L. Blackwell, bishop of the 5th Episcopal District, was a most distinguished and welcomed visitor. His presence added much to the occasion. Rev. R. C. Council, and his great people, won a lasting place in the hearts of the delegates and other friends, for the great work that he has done in this city; and also, for the royal entertainment given them. The common verdict among them is that they were most grandly entertained. Rev. Council is one of our best men, as well as being one of our best preachers. Out in the county some 10 miles is Zion Christian Church. It was there during last week, the great women of that denomination held their Woman's Conference. In addition to the attendance of representatives from the nearby states and church they came from New York City and other distant cities and States. It was very largely attended by some of the most representative men and women of this Church. The city was often graced with the presence of delegates who found time to pay short visits. They found us well-natured, and they were welcomely received. Quite a large number of members, from this and other States, of the Grand Accepted Pilgrim Travelers held PORTER'S CAFE. 149 E.
