They declare that a working woman cannot exist decently upon less than they are asking for their labor. As usual Norfolk housewives and other employers are becoming excited over the situation, if we are to believe what is being printed in the daily papers, and are doing just the thing that will not only tard any adjustment of matters with their employees, but will use to them their future services and good will in a large majority of cases. They have ordered the police department turned loose upon the working women and their striking husbands and brothers, the sister shuckers. The following suggestion of force and intimidation appeared in Thursday morning's Virginian-Pilot: Norfolk police department. He has a particular duty.

G. Kizer, chief of the Norfolk police department, is also beginning to take a hand in the labor situation. He has detailed a special squad of plainclothes men for this particular duty. The squad is instructed, too, to prevent "loafing" among the colored men and women. All industrial "slackers" reported by them will find themselves in the position of defendants before the police justice. The above statement was inspired by somebody—evidently the employers affected by the labor unrest. In justice to them, however, it is only fair to say that it may have originated in the fertile end of the reporter who wrote the story of which it was a part. At any rate it is a bad suggestion. The men and women who are present asking for a living wage in Norfolk are neither slackers, afers or law-breakers. They are working people affected by the increase in the cost of living just like thousands of white men who are striking all over the country are affected. Why the activity on the part of the police? The strikers are unw-abiding and have not broken the law. They are not trying to obtain their demands by force or violence. When the oyster shuckers quit shucking oysters they went to ory-loading ships for more money than they were receiving opening oysters. The women will find other work to do if they cannot reach an agreement with their present employers. They cannot be made to work for less than living wage, even if were true that Norfolk's police department could be induced with law for such action to threaten and intimidate them. Major Kizer has been known as a friend to laboring people. We elieve that he will enforce the law impartially but that he will not go beyond that and persecute defenseless men and women who ask or simple justice. The police department was not sent out to round up and arrest as hackers and loafers the three thousand white men who quit work in the navy yard because an increase in pay was denied them. No government sleuths and legal sharps were sent down to pry into the charter provisions of the unions to which the men belong. The case of the women tobacco stemmers and domestics and the lister shuckers is fundamentally the same as the case of the navyard mechanics, except that the former are merly holding up the production of a lot of fine luxuries while the later were holding up important work upon which the winning of the war depended. The women are asking for BREAD, why give them STONE? The four days of the Tidewater agricultural Fair to be held at Suffolk October 28, 24, 25 and 26 will be crowd with big events.

OUR BOYS ON THE FIRING LINE THE FIGHT From Half Century Magazine. A MOB LEADER IS BOYCOTTED Colored Refuse To Work On Farm Of Man Who Was Active In Lynching. CANNOT HARVEST CROPS New Move A Big Surprise To Farmers Who Took Part In Recent Mob Outrage. (Special to Journal and Guide) Heathsville, Va.—The white farmers of the Lillian section of Northumberland county, Virginia are experiencing an altogether new and surprising labor trouble. While all the farmers are experiencing difficulty in getting their crops harvested, labor having become suddenly scarce, one man particularly, who is an extensive planner, finds himself unable to hire colored people to work for him at any price or under any condition. During the latter part of August a colored man named Page was accused by two white women of attempting criminal assault upon them and within two hours after the alloged crime was reported Page had been lynched by the farmers of the community. Page had a family, and because they refused to have anything to do with his remains after the mob had finished with them the whites thought that the colored people had taken the matter entirely without resentment. It has developed, however, that this view was erroneous. Immediately following the lynching labor began to get scarcer in this community, and although wages have been doubled it is impossible to hire men and women to gather the crops. Numbers of men have gone to Sparrows Point, Md., to work in the steel plants there and others have gone to points in Pennsylvania and those who remain refuse to work for the men who are known to have participated in the lynching. The recent lynching has entirely upset the splendid relations that have always existed between the races here, and it is believed that another disturbance of the kind will entirely depopulate this county of its labor element. The Negroes do not condone the crime for which Page Wale was mob-murdered, nor do they condone crime of any character, but in as much as he was not afforded legal protection or a court trial Negroes feel that none of their lives are safe from mob violence in this community. Hampton Students Urged To Be Loyal Hampton Students Urged To Be Loyal Vice Principal Phenix Tells Them To Keep Alive The Spirit of Armstrong And Frissell Hampton, Va.—Dr. George P. Phenix, vice-principal of Hampton Institute spoke to the workers and students at the Sunday-evening chapel service on "The Larger Loyalty." He stated that General Armstrong and Dr. Frissell, as well as the Hampton graduates, had always shown great loyalty, not only to the Hampton School, but also to "the whole cause of righteousness." He said: "Loyalty to the school is, after all, only a by-product. Young people are (Continued on Page 8) FIRST LIEUTENANT U. S. A. MEDICAL RESERVE CORPS FIRST LIEUTENANT U. S. A.

FIRST COLORED REGIMENT Now Being Mobilized At Camp Lee, Virginia Under the call of October 3rd, the first drafted colored men are being mobilized under the draft act at Camp Lee, Virginia, near Petersburg. Just how many colored men will be mobilized at Camp Lee cannot be ascertained, but it is generally believed that no less than one full regiment will be trained there. Dr. Norman W. Harris Receives Appointment As Anethetist At Freedmen's Hospital. The many friends in Norfolk of Dr. Norman W. Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Harris, of Goff Street will be released to know that he has been appointed as Anethetist at Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, D. C. The appointment was made through Civil Service Commission at the recommendation of Dr. W. A. Warfield, Surgeon In Chief. The position carries with it a salary of $1200 per year.

NightSchools Will Open Monday, Oct 8 The night schools of the city will open for the ensuing term Monday night, October 8th, and will be conducted for colored as formerly at S. C. Armstrong, Lott Carey and Abraham Lincoln schools Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights of each week. The principals and teachers are practically the same as last year, except that Prof. E. P. Southhall succeeds Prof. Dungee as principal at the Abraham Lincoln School. Those who wish to enter should apply for registration Monday, night, October 8th. TRAIN AT ALL CANTONMENTS War Department Announces Change In Recent Order Affecting Colored Troops BEGIN MOBILIZING SOON One Unit Will Be Formed And Trained At Each Of The 16 Cantonments Another change was announced Monday in the government's plans for training colored men of the selective draft army, Secretary Baker stating that one unit of Negro troops would be trained at each cantonment, contrary to previous orders that colored troops would be sent to certain cantonments. There are sixteen cantonments and it is the purpose of the war department, Secretary Baker said, to form and train a unit of Negro troops at each one. The size of the unit will depend upon the number of colored men drafted from the divisional area which supplies each cantonment, but where there is a large surplus men will be sent to posts with smaller numbers for consolidation with the training units there. This is the fourth chance that the war department has made since announcing its original plans for training Negro troops. It is believed that the orders given by Secretary Baker Monday are definite and final. Under a recent order the graduation of the young men in training as officers at Fort Des Moines was deferred from September 15th to October 15th. The first of the drafted men will be mobilized under the call of October 3rd. REMARKABLE GROWTH OF THE N. C. MUTUAL AND PROVIDENT ASS'N Company Now Has $10,000,000 of Insurance In Force and Net Assets Over $260,000. (By R. W. Thompson.) Washington, D. C.—C. C. Spaulding, the energetic vice-president and general manager of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, of Durham, N. C., said to be the largest Negro Insurance company in the world, spent a few days in the city recently, mingling business with pleasure. Mr. Spaulding is one of those hustling geniuses who see business in everything and who are never so miserable as when they are idle. His rest is change of scene and environment—and then to meet business men and talk over the progress of the race, of the nation and of civilization in general. While here he conferred at length with the local director of the affairs of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association, Attorney Zeph. P. Moore, and expressed himself as well-pleased with the rapid hold the Association has secured in the District of Columbia in the year or so it has been in operation here. Mr. Moore is a skilled executive and enjoys the full- SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS On Page 6 PRICE:- FIVE CENTS WAGES NORFOLK OYSTER SHUCKERS STRIKE Four Hundred Employees Of Oyster Plants Ask For Higher Wages WOMEN'S CASE UNSETTLED Failure To Recognize Union Causes Continued Hold-out Of Tobacco Stemmers The oyster shuckers of Norfolk, about four hundred strong, declared a strike Monday last, after certain wage demands had been refused by the various oyster packers of the city. As a result of the strike practically every oyster house in the city was without labor. Some time in August the men requested an increase in pay from 20c for 8 pints to 25c, with an additional increase of 5c for all oysters opened between 5 p. m., and 7 a. m. They also requested that the pails be placed so that the men could see them from top to bottom. The oystermen were given until September 15th to comply with the requests of the men but failed to do so. After repeated attempts to have the matter adjusted had failed the men walked out Monday morning. Will Insist Upon Wage Increase According to Organizer Bridgeport of the Transportation Workers Association of Virginia, with which the oyster shuckers are affiliated, the men will not return to work until their demands for increased wages are met. Mr. Bridgeport stated that the men had been provided with work at Lambert's Point and the Old Dominion piers at 25 and 30 per hour and 30 and 35 cents for over time work. Old Dominion Raises Pay. The Transportation Workers Association made formal request upon the Old Dominion Steamship Company recently for increased pay for longshoremen and the Company granted the raise asked for. The government and the principal transportation companies have all recognized the Transportation Workers Association of Virginia, said Mr. Bridgeport, and the few minor concerns that had refused to do so were not helping their labor troubles. All of them would eventually have to recognize the Association as practically all the workers in every branch of industry in the State were being organized under it. He said that the Association was making no unreasonable demands upon the employers of any class of labor, but merely interested in seeing that they received a living wage. Organize Men At Tobacco Factory The men employed at the plant of the American Cigar Co., have followed the lead of the women and formed a local of the Transportation Workers Association. This company still refuses to recognize the union and the women have not returned to work. It was reported in last week's issue of this paper that the differences at the factory had been settled and that the women would return to work, but a hitch occurred in the proceedings somewhere and the stemming department is still idle. It is probable that the men will now walk out in sympathy for the women. COLORED REGISTERED NURSES WILL BE CALLED TO COLORS Colored registered nurses throughout the country are in receipt of information from the Red Cross headquarters at Washington that a Government Base Hospital will be established at DesMoines, Iowa, in connection with the training camp for Colored troops. About 150 nures will be selected for service. DR. MORRIS GOES SOUTH. Dr. Charles S. Morris, delivered three addresses in Norfolk last Sunday, two at Grant St., at the morning and evening hour of worship. In the afternoon he spoke to an overflow audience at the Y. M. C. A.

The discourse was characterized by profound thought, interesting facts, spiritual enthusiasm, and forceful delivery. It was voted as one of the best sermons we have heard in a long while. At night Rev. Brown of Portsmouth, preached to a large audience. His subject was, "The need of more faith in God." The sermon produced a decided effect for greater confidence in God. The offering for the day was $53.00. Plans are being arranged to have the new building wired and plastered. The members and friends are called upon to give their greatest support at this time so that we can make our situation more comfortable. The meeting at the Pentecostal Holiness Church was well attended last Sunday. Elder Montier of Norfolk addressed the people at 3 o'clock. He spoke from Romans 2. Elder A. C.

We hope to see the homes attractively adorned with this modern lighting. OPENING OF NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL Durham, N. C.—Everything is spic and span at the National Training School in this city ready for the reopening of the school on Wednesday October 3rd. This institution now has a high standard college department which bids fair to become a great power in the educational life of the race, especially in this section of the south. The theological and other departments will continue to serve those who strive by effort and ambition to fit themselves to render efficient services in their chosen line. The influence of the school is already widely felt on account of the splendid work of its graduates and students scattered in the various urban and rural communities. The school is meeting the needs of the public in many helpful ways. It prepares settlement workers, missionaries for the home and foreign field, and secretaries for Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. work. Under the tutelage of a Wellesley College graduate, students taking the course in nurse training receive a comprehensive grasp of the work expected of them when they finish their course. In speaking of the worthiness of the institution recently, Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, of New York, said: "I cordially commend the school's interest and needs, to all who believe in the Negro race and in our obligation to help promote its intellectual, moral and religious uplift." Dr. James E. Shepard, founder and president of the National Training School has built it up from a small plant to a large corporation, splendidly equipped to serve the young men and women of our race who in turn must minister to the needs of the masses of the race, helping up from a weak and halting position to a stronger and more intellectual sphere of life. GREENVILLE, N. C. At the interborough oratorical contest given by Rev. Jas. E. Holder in the Greenville court house on Tuesday night, September 18, the prize medal was carried off by Miss Aurilla Jones of Parmele, with Miss Ruth C. Whitehead of Goldsboro, a very close second. The judges were Senator F. C. Harding, Mr. H. Taylor, Superintendent of the city schools, and Mr. H. T. King, U. S. Commissioner, each of whom spoke in highest praise of the entertainment as such, and of its great educational value, and expressed the hope that they will have the pleasure of attending others. Rev. Holder desires to hear from tenor and alto soloists who would wish to take part in interborough contests to be held in Kinston and New Bern in October and November.

Then Watch Results MADAM UNTHANK THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Tidewater Hospital. Editor Journal and Guide: Sir: For several years prior to 1914 many attempts had been made by different individuals and organizations to establish a colored hospital in this community. It was my good fortune to be in some way connected with most of these efforts in some official capacity, either representing the Tidewater Medical Society or the Physician's Club of Norfolk. On several occasions I was associated with my colleague and friend Dr. S. I. Moone, who has always been an ardent advocate of hospital facilities for the colored people where the physicians and surgeons of color might have the opportunity of attending personally their own cases. Hair Culturists Beauty Parlor School of Hair Dressing To a very large part of our colored citizenship the need of a colored hospital has been apparent for a goodly number of years.

Early in 1914 my purpose of laid before him that it was hospital could with a high s believed in du take hold of t and support i and assured me On August of the building nonors and M a splendid add several friend This was very On February sent in the first on patients we was soon unde In April 191 Early in 1914 I confided to Dr. Moone my purpose of building a hospital and laid before him my plans. Assuring him that it was my belief that if the hospital could be built and established with a high standard of efficiency I believed in due time the public would take hold of the institution, patronize and support it. He agreed with me and assured me of his support. On August 25, 1914 the cornerstone of the building was laid with Masonic honors and Mr. P. B. Young delivered a splendid address on the occasion and several friends made small donations. This was very encouraging. On February 18, 1915 Dr. Moone sent in the first patient and from then on patients were received and the work was soon under way in good shape. In April 1915 I invited several prominent gentlemen to meet and to form a Board of Trustees and organize an hospital Association. This was done and the hospital was incorporated under the auspices of the Itewater Colored Hospital Association Incorporated and in May of the same year the property was transferred to the Board of Trustees of the Association. I was appointed by the Board as Surgeon-in-charge and to manage the institution. Several lodges, organizations and individuals contributed money and other things toward the support of the hospital, and the work went forward. The physicians soon fell in line and from then on the hospital has been rendering a splendid public service. During the winter of 1915 the Ladies Auxiliary was organized and did much valuable service for the hospital, raising nearly three $($300.00) dollars which was applied on the building and equipment funds of the institution. In May 1916, work of the hospital had so greatly increased that I felt that the management should be changed and suggested to the Ladies Auxiliary that the ladies take over the management and appoint a superintendent. This proposition was not accepted. In January 1917 I tendered my resignation to the Board as manager and suggested the appointment of a superintendent. This was done and the economy and efficiency of the change were soon apparent and the wisdom of the plan was very manifest. In July 1917 I resigned as Surgeon-in-charge and suggested that a house committee of three members of the Board with the superintendent have full and complete charge of the management of the hospital under the direction and supervision of the Board of Trustees. This plan was adapted and thus all vestage of individual ownership and management was removed. This plan is working beautifully and the standard of efficiency of the institution has been greatly increased and now the colored people of Norfolk can truthfully boast of a hospital second to none in efficient service, patronage and usefulness. It is needless to say that the personal sacrifice in labor and money have been great and yet the satisfaction of feeling that a splendid hospital has been established well repays for the efforts put forth.

With an efficient array of well prepared doctors who for the past two years have been standing faithfully by the hospital we are indeed very fortunate. The work has now been systematized thus giving an opportunity for larger growth and usefulness. Miss C. Lena Byrd, our new superintendent is well prepared for her work and is in association with Miss Maud Mundin, giving the hospital excellent service. Our House committee composed of Doctors Matthews, Webb and Trigg is active and doing full duty. Our new Finance Committee is composed of Rev. J. Albert Handy, Dr. D. W. Bvrd, Dr. S. I. Moone, and Mr. C. H. Oliver. Mr. Oliver is financial secretary and a splendid worker. It is but natural that one who undertakes a public service will at times meet with adverse criticism, and there will be those who will not agree with his policies and plans. but the almost perfect cooperation of our Board of Trustees and almost unanimous support of our physicians have made the work at Tidewater a service of real pleasure for which I am very grateful. It is a work for humanity and not for personal gain nor self agrudizement and I believe all of those connected with the work have this feeling about it. Our chairman, Rev. J. Albert Handy has been and is still faithful in his efforts giving much of his valuable time purely for the sake of charity and all other members of the Board are doing likewise.

Address SHIELDING CRIME The Atlanta Constitution views as unfortunate the trait of the Negro's character that instigates him to shield those of his race who commit crime. It is unfortunate; but is not the man rather than racial? Just for the sake of argument to support the latter view let us ask what— An undisguised mob took a prisoner from officers of the law at Memphis, Tenn., and put alive in broad daylight. Ten thousand people on while the undisguised mob did its evil yet the verdict of the coroner's jury was deceased came to his death at the hands of the jury unknown.

The Atlanta Constitution views as unfortunate the "trait of the Negro's character that instinctively induces him to shield those of his race who commit crime." It is unfortunate; but is not the trait human rather than racial? Just for the sake of argument to support the latter view let us point out that— An undisguised mob took a prisoner from the officers of the law at Memphis, Tenn., and burned him alive in broad daylight. Ten thousand people looked on while the undisguised mob did its execution, yet the verdict of the coroner's jury was that the deceased came to his death at the hands of parties to the jury unknown. Did not the mob, the ten thousand witnesses, and the coroner's jury shield criminals in this instance? Furthermore, a mob of several hundred men attacked the jail in Raleigh, N. C. with the avowed intention of taking out a prisoner and lynching him. The governor of the State went down and talked with the mob and persuaded them to desist. They obeyed, and after firing their guns into the air filed by the governor and shook hands with him, some of them slapping him on the back affectionately. The next day the prisoner was removed to the State penetentiary and the following night the mob renewed the attack. The prisoner had been spirited away to another city and after the Adjutant General of State troops had imparted this information to the mob at the prison gates, the leader of the mob was permitted to go in and receive additional assurances from the warden that the prisoner was not there. Notwithstanding members of the mob could have been arrested on several charges including carrying weapons, firing guns in the public thoroughfares and inciting a riot, no arrests were made. The custodians of the law from the governor down to the police were all there and talked with the mob and saw the automobiles in which they traveled, which of course had numbers by which they could have been identified, but nobody was arrested. Are not these healthy examples of crime shielding for Negroes to emulate? ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE EAST last week we carried in our news column that quoted Lajpat Rai, an East Indian artist, as saying in an address before an A audience that "there will be a greater wity-five years which will put this war i.e if the European nations go on with the Last week we carried in our news columns an article that quoted Lajpat Rai, an East Indian nationalist, as saying in an address before an American audience that "there will be a greater war in twenty-five years which will put this war in the shade if the European nations go on with their exploitation of India and China." The statement is significant because we have all been led to believe and hope that when the present conflict, involving practically all of the Anglo-Saxon and inter-related race groups of the world had been fought out and its object—the end of autocracy and militarism—attained, we would experience an indefinite era of world-peace. It appears, however, that when the warring nations gather around the peace tribunal there will be some far Eastern questions to consider, involving the yellow and brown-skinned Asiatics, 750,000,000 in number, questions that will have to be adjusted by treaty or otherwise before the world can rest assured that an era of peace is at hand. India, Africa and China seem to be the great fields of adventure and exploitation upon which the fortune-hunting Europeans will precipitate the next world war. Following close upon the significant utterances of Lajpat Rai, we are given another solemn warning from the Orient, a warning that Americans will regard as friendly, but one nevertheless important enough to be written down in their notebooks. Speaking at a dinner in honor of his visit to New York Saturday night Viscount Ishii, head of the Japanese Mission to the United States, warned the nations of the world that his country will not tolerate aggressions against the territory or independence of China. He virtually proclaimed for the far East a Monroe doctrine, the violation of which on the part of any European nation or any nation of the Western Hemisphere will precipitate war. This is interesting in view of interests held by Germany in China prior to the war, which that nation may eventually seek to regain, and the further fact that Great Britain holds concessions in China which she may seek to enlarge after the war. These utterances, spoken by emissaries of influence and prominence from the far East, have their significance. They mean that the Asiatics are studying the progress of the present struggle among the white races and are carefully calculating the outcome. The Europeans have started a war, which had no apparent meaning or object until America entered, when it became a war to estab- lish the freedom of nations—the right of peoples to govern themselves. The brown men of India and the black men of Africa are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the white men of Europe for this liberty and democracy of nations. These will soon be joined by the black men of America. Will their victory be an empty one? or will it be in line with this declaration by Victor Berger: "The peoples of Egypt and of India should be free under this same principle of nations working out their own life in their own way. I have read the Bible much, but nowhere have I seen it written that Englnad should dominate the world." WHY THE NEVER THE SOUL The cause is con angled, not simple. Perhaps the greatest this causation is the is worse than lynch sionally. kills one m car perpetually tort I am writing on a car from Little Rock Louis, Mo.—a horribl colored women ha smoker, separated f men by a petition t God only knows what the end of this struggle will be, but the longer it lasts, and as one nation after another is drawn into the maelstrom, the conviction grows deeper that in it all God has a purpose not yet revealed to the human mind.

An opportunity is afforded every one to do his or her "bit" to win the war through the Red Cross auxiliary recently formed here. By making the fighting men comfortable, by constantly keeping before them the evidence that the people at home are thinking of them and working for them, we not only perform through the Red Cross a highly human service but we strengthen the morale of our soldiers, a thing that is very necessary to the successful prosecution of the war. Members of the race have been disinclined, and with good reason, to cooperate with the Red Cross because of its established policy in matters pertaining to the race, but to raise that issue when to do so would add to human suffering and obstruct the progress o fso valuable an adjunct to American military success would be unpatriotic and selfish, so let us in this emergency forego any objections we may have to the policies of the Red Cross organization and cooperate, in this great movement, upon their terms and under their rules, leaving for future settlement questions of policy that may be distasteful.

In defense of the honor and integrity of their country they go forth, maybe to sacrifice their lives on foreign shores, that liberty and democracy shall reign throughout the world. The path of honor and duty has been blazed for them by black heroes who have died in America's defense in all the wars in which this nation has engaged, from Bunker Hill to Carrizal, and embued with the loyal spirit of their ancestors these men of the national army of '17 will give a good account of themselves wherever duty calls them.

Only such action as this will pre- rence of the East St. Louis horror. The vigor and thoroughness with which the grand jury has probed the East St. Louis riots indicate that the local and state authorities intend that there shall be no repetition of the horror in that section. Among those recently indicted as being either instigators or participants in the riots is Mayor Mollman of East St. Louis, whom the grand jury charged with having been openly in sympathy with the rioters. Mollman, who is obviously a weak-kniced characterless politician evidently acquiesced in the determination of the whites to run the Negro workers out of East St. Louis but miscalculated the proportions that the riot would assume. When the murderous orgy had reached such disastrous proportions that the whole city was threatened with destruction by fire the mayor undertook to stop it but found himself unable to do so. His henchmen had gone mad over their bloody work. The grand jury has established that the city administration, the police, the militia and the mob were in league, and it is making honest efforts to secure vigorous prosecutions of the guilty in every case. Only such action as this will prevent a recurrence of the East St. Louis horror.

And Atlanta place in the south where they proclaim loathing the South is "the best place for the Negro An Atlanta paper published the following item of police court news recently: "A Negro from Ohio with soft hands landed in town Monday, was arrested the same night and sent to the stockade the next morning for 20 days without a fine, because there were no corps in his hands." And Atlanta is one place in the south where they proclaim loudest that the South is "the best place for the Negro." WHY THE NEGRO LEAVES THE SOUTH. The cause is complex and many-angled, not simple and categorical. Perhaps the greatest element in all this causation is the Jim Crow car. It is worse than lynching; lynching occasionally kills one man; the Jim Crow car perpetually tortures ten thousand. I am writing on board a Jim Crow car from Little Rock, Ark., toward St. Louis, Mo.—a horrible night ride. The colored women have one end of a smoker, separated from smoking white men by a petition that rises only part of the way from the floor toward the ceiling of the car. All of the smoke and fumes, and some of the oaths, come over. Some of these colored people have already spent two nights in this same car-end, coming all the way from the lower side of Texas. For them the name of the train must sound very much like irony; it is "The Sunshine Special." Just behind us is a chair car for white people, where they can stretch out and rest with sanitary napkins under their heads. They have paid exactly the same "first class" fares paid by these colored passengers. But in the Jim Crow car there are only straight-backed seats filled with the dust grime of neglect. All of these colored people are wishing, and some of them giving audible expression to the wish, to reach Popular Bluff, the first stop in Missouri, so that they can go back into that chair car and out of the squail and discomfort of this car-end. And some of these colored men are in the service of the United States, summoned from the far corners of Texas to Newport News, Va., to be trained to fight for democracy in Europe; and because they travel practically all of the way through Southern territory they must sit up for three nights and days, without change of clothing or a bite of warm food—certainly a good preparation for trench warfare. They, "Why does the Negro leave the South?" indeed! You would FEEL a large part of the answer if you could be on this train, in this Jim Crow car, and share for one night the longing of these people to reach the line that divides Missouri from Arkansas, or any other part of "the line" that separates Dixie from the rest of creation!

The Summersst Company, Montelair, N. J. Morgan College, Baltimore, Md. By DR. J. W. PIERCE In all things in which one may be engaged, health should be considered as a prime factor towards its accomplishment. To make this of little importance as is so often done by not a few, is to set barriers in the way of one's efforts. The boy or girl that is characterized as being very studious often maintains that honorary degree at the expense of health. Studiousness is, beyond a doubt, a virtue, but it can be carried so far that it becomes a vice. This is often seen in the student by an expression of physical deficiency. To be studious is a fine quality to be commended but when allowed to overstep its bounds, there is occasion for its curtailment. It is a very fine thing to see a boy or girl applying themselves to study, and everything that is possible to be done to encourage such-studious effort, should not be withheld. But often we are confronted with a sad picture of a student who has overdone the thing, and lost health as a result of the doing. It is about this small class of students I am talking with the hope that in the future this class will become so small that our apprehension and anxiety about the boy or girl's bad health from overstudy, will be entirely eliminated. Where we find these cases of lost health from too constant application of one's energies, is not so much with the pupils of public schools. For the playful instincts of such little people always suggest opportunities for frolics and sports in the open that have a tendency to balance the physical and mental forces, and to make them work in harmony toward a development of mind and body that is more or less symmetrical. It is, generally, the cases that we find among students of high schools, colleges and universities. Among these we find that the youthful phase of life is on the wane, and the more steady habits are expressing themselves. With this manly and womanly bent, some misinterpret their energies, thereby directing them too much toward one side of their development. The student may be brilliant and worthy of the highest honor that may DO YOU NEED TO WEAR EYEGLASSES Better Get the Advice of An Eyesight Specialist.

There is nothing in studiosiness that is to be recommended or commended that fails to provide for the considerations of those needs of the body, as well as mind development. Too often in our higher institutions we find occasionally a student who has become, what we say in common language, a "book worm." The sunshine never touches him only when he is changing from building to building or from home to school; he never has time to lose on any sport or game; his time is too valuable to spend an hour on a tramp or "hike" through the country; he never finds an opportunity to go to the gymnasium and put his muscles through an exercise of systematic movements; there are no attractions for him at social gatherings at any time; he may go to church if home training still has somewhat of a grasp upon his life and purpose; to chapel exercises because of compulsion; he gobbles his food down in a hurry and right back to his den. This student and others like him cannot be truly brilliant and truly developed. He is one-sided and his health has failed. He has given all of his time to study, and ignored the physical demands of the body. He has striven to build up a strong mind upon a weak constitution, which will not serve his purpose very long. The student who has the best health and who does best in his work, is the one that touches elbows with the rank and file of those who take advantage of, and who foster those phases of school life that embrace the physical, social, moral and religious purposes of the institution, as well as educational. A cane suggestion would be for one not to spend all of his time in what he calls studying. Lay the books aside at stated intervals, and take an interest in those things that make for health. Book-worms are dangerous to health unless properly guarded. Education is not to be purchased at the price of health. Fresh air, sunshine, and wholesome physical exercise are just as important to the student as they are to the tuberculous. aches or dizziness—or—if you occasionally see little spots dancing before your eyes—it is high time that you consulted a reputable eyesight specialist.

If the fire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A cough is a danger signal as much as a fire bell. You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that so often follows a bad cold r an attack o f the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: "During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs and coughs. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best medicine for breaking up these attacks and you cannot get him to take any other." For sale by all Drummists. Card of Thanks.

NORFOLK EMANCIPATION ASSOCIATION Officers Re-elected For Ensuing Term. Will Aid Red Cross The Norfolk Emancipation Association assembled last Monday evening, Oct. 1, in the Booker T. Washington High School to hear the final report the work accomplished this year and to arrange for the annual celebration on Jan. 1, 1918. There was a decided improvement in every respect which was evidenced by the progress made by the association and interest, enthusiasm and fellowship that prevailed. The session was very largely attended the delegation being over 180 in number, thus verifying the fact that the Association does really represent the colored organized citizenship of Norfolk. Everything being ready we proceeded to elect officers for the present term which resulted in the following: Geo. W. Giddings, Pres.; Martha C. Walker, 1st Vice Pres.; Capt. Geo. R. Dukes, 2nd Vice Pres.; Esther E. A. White Financial Secretary; Mary E. Nelson, Recording Secretary; Jas. P. Carter, Treasurer; Dennis E. Askiss, chief marshal; Nicholas Langley, chaplain; W. H. Collins, Sergeant-at-Arms S. A. Holt, Guard; Frank L. Carter, reporter. A timely installation service was conducted by Jus. P. Carter who was in turn installed by the President Geo. W. Giddings. The committee on Finance and Music were appointed, Geo. W. Wilson and C. L. Stewart respectively chairman. The association adopted resolutions heartily endorsing the Red Cross movement and will cooperate with the Red Cross Society (white) in helping to make it a success. As many things of vital interest to the race will confront us as citizens, and the association is desirous of making this the best and most eventful celebration yet held it is urged that all reputable organizations that have not registered as yet will do so. And hoping that all old organizations will renew their membership. All organizations are asked to increase their donation which is more essential this year than heretofore. Good for Constipation.

BACK TO VAUDEVILLE JUST FOR A WEEK After a continual run of several weeks of musical comedies and stock companies the Palace went back to vaudeville for one week. The bill presented this week was fair but rather short. Van Clay and James was the first that appeared with a fair line of jokes that didn't seem to take too well. Miss James was very good in a chair balancing act. They sang their best number, "Some time you'll want me Back but I won't want you," which ended in a dance, and they disappeared behind the scene. The six Musical Millers was the big fuss, they played exceedingly well all class of music, with apparent ease and with much melody. There was also some comedy in the act to make it adaptable to every one. The Millers are all good on their various instruments. Especially good was the final number, a saxophone quartette. Chase and Chase came out in a fast song and dance, and with some good jokes that characterized them as real artists in the game from the jump. Splendid team work was exhibited throughout their entire act. They were among the best to appear at the Palace this season and were given the glad hand by the big house all the week. Nervous Women. When the nervousness is caused by constipation, as is often the case, you will get quick relief by taking Chamberlain's Tablets. These tablets also improve the digestion. For sale by all Druggists.

At a Norfolk meeting of Negro Ministers a prominent physician avered that it was suicidal on the part of ministers who took no vacation. The good people of the Hill Street Baptist church, Smithfield, Virginia, a people who know how to esteem a pastor, heartily share the physician's opinion. Hence they voted their pastor a month's vacation and gave him a purse of fifty dollars. These are the kind of people who take the ennui out of a minister's toils.

With my family I hiked from the terror; scene of labor to Princess Anne County S. Va., and spent a happy though brief season of quiet rest on my father's seventy-five acre farm. Here as a barefoot boy I helped to change my mother's status from tenant to landlord. Here I toiled and dreamed of a larger day and broader life. Here mother died. Not far away an only sister is hurried. Dear to my heart are these scenes of my childhood. But the changes! A new era dawns. Artist The old heaven and earth have missed apple away. Automobiles frighten horses actor, at every cross road. Stock are eating ion. twelve dollar corn which once, sold for a three. Labor is demanding two dollars per day with a threat for the eight did of hour system. And this on a farm of a Truly farmers are entering into their own as superior aristocrats.

THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE THE REV. J. A. BRINKLEY. A. B., B. D. Pastor Hill Street Baptist Church Smithfield, Va. My family rested and safe among the great hearts of Smithfield, I continued my trip alone to Richmond, Va., where the great Lott Carey Convention was in session. A body of such personnel and purpose could not have assembled in a more suitable city. A city of churches. A strong hold of Negro Baptists; a city sheltering two of the finest institutions for Negro education in the country viz. Virginia Union University and Hartshorn College. A great convention this. It was inspiring to see the delegates arriving from states north, south, east and west. As a member of the Executive Board I sallied forth from my temporary home on Jackson Street to enter the fray. Here in the beautiful Ebenezer Baptist church of which the learned Dr. W. H. Stokes is pastor opened one of the best sessions of the Lott Carey Convention. Here educated and consecrated black men and women with a vision of duty, gathered to preach, supplicate and sacrifice. A gathering of which the black race is ignorant. A convention that is doing more to bring about real democracy than a world of dorged, drowsy, driven navies and armies. A body of men and women whose altruism led them to contribute twelve thousand dollars during the past year to christianize and civilize African and Haitian heathens who have been deprived of their rights and made chattled by the very nations which claim to be fighting for democracy. God bless Dr. C. S. Brown, the honored president of this convention, and all other consecrated Negro leaders whom a new civilization will one day crown with hauels of a peculiar and rare glory. Convention closed, farewell said. I found myself bound for the mountains to continue my vacation. The noise of that west bound train and the gloom of that Saturday morning's rain did not prohibit thoughts of joy which awaited me in Lexington. As the sun blinked good night to us from behind grand old House mountain we rolled into Lexington. No one can appreciate the thrills which were mine, when after two years of absence, I looked and lo! I saw the mountains rise with glory to the skies. I was in Lexington the Athens of Virginia. A town quantitatively nestled among the foot hills of the Blue Ridge and Alleghanies. A town unsurpassed in history and natural beauty. A town where the atmosphere of learning and materialism has not stifled the spirit of genuine hospitality, a town where the black folk boast of a quasi intellectual aristocracy; yet a town where these black folk by means of a peculiar thrift have built two splendid churches and bought themselves homes. The Baptist church was built at a cost of nearly thirty thousand dollars. About eight families in ten own their homes. They own good homes. This is no hutty town. How they managed it on their meere wages is problematic. My host, Mr. H. L. Walker, recently bought old Colonel Tucker's handsome residence at a cost of four thousand dollars. Colonel Tucker was the father of the noted Harry St. George Tucker who lives now in Lexington. In this mansion I ate and slept and mused for eight days. Lexington and I were hale fellows well met. My return made the people glad and I was proud. It was here that I spent the first four years of my pastoral career a raw recruit from Virginia Union University. Lexington and I will never regret that we met. I felt quite at home in the pulpit of the First Baptist church on the first Sunday morning in September. A party of ten physicians and business men from Roanoke was in attendance. Dr. Downing, the dentist headed the party. It is a splendid omen for the race when a party of pleasure seeking business men can stop long enough to bow their heads in the house of God. In Lexington with an altitude of a thousand feet and air salubrious I roamed, visited, feasted, laughed, sympathized, advised, worshipped, read and thought. The splendid editorials of the Journal and Guide were among my reading matter. The happiest night of all was spent under my own coat, a house I had built and for which I hold papers. It is the temporary home of Rev. S. A. Thurston the presi dent pastor. Lexington's spectre of seclusion and ostracism beam to stall with me through the streets and shorty I found myself on my East bounce trip of three hundred miles from the mountains to the sea. From where the denizens mysteriously extract living from those rock ribbed hills came to the fertile plains of East Virginia the garden spot of the world. I would no tend my vacation without spending a few days in Norfolk studying church conditions. Hence, the second Sunday morning in September found me mingling with the churchgoers of that great city. It was a picture to be remembered to see groups of children and parents standing in the rain waiting for a chance to ride to Sunday School. God be praised for this remnant. Five just persons would have saved Sodom. I visited St. John's A. M. E. Sunday School. Bad morning but a good school of about five hundred in attendance. I am told that this is the best organized and graded school in East Virginia and perhaps in the State. The hospitable pastor, Dr. S. S. Morris superintendent Jas, M.

C. made me feel quite at home, teachers seemed euphasic and pupils in earnest while music from the splendid orchestra was succinctly echocaping. Leaving St. John's' Sunday School I slipped into Bank St. church and took a seat in the gallery where observation was rood. Here I sat through the sermon which was faithfully preached by Rev. Jacobs our Sunday School Missionary. My engie eyed classmate and pastor of the church, Rev. R. J. Langston, A. B, espied me and I was ushered to the rostrum much against my will. After some congratulatory remarks I was free to observe. The church was well filled in spit of rain. The spirit of God was present, yet the worshippers exhibited splendid self-control. I was impressed with the thoughtful minded congregation, the well marked esteem for the pastor, and their financial method. They find the duplex envelope a success. It's almost always a success wherever there is discipline and training. At this church is found one of the best equipped Sunday School rooms in the country. In the afternoon I was at Emanuel A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Va., and heard that popular pulpitteer, Dr. E. H. Hunter, the pastor. His was a special service under the auspices of the Vanguard of Liberty and Temperance. A large order of women with a few men. To Dr. Hunter preaching was not a system of pulpit gymnasties but sandy and earnestly teaching the people the secret of the world adjustment; the relation of man to man and man to God Refusing all invitations to preach I went at night to the great first Calvary Baptist Church of Norfolk. Here I nestled quietly in a comfortable pew in this temple of God the product of a wonderful personality. Dr. P. J. Wallace, the pastor, is indeed a master and worthy object of profitable study. Here was much hospitality, spirituality and great enthusiasm. Enthusiasm filled all from the usher to the minister. (The pastor was on vacation.) Even the organist transmitted it to the members of the choir who swayed as they sang shouts of praise with the accompaniment of that rich pipe organ. The well dressed and fashionable men and women forgot their style and gave vent when the wave of enthusiasm swept their way. A great people this, I did not resist an invitation to the oostrum where I made remarks of praise and encouragement. As I missed over the scenes of the day I concluded that after all God did not intend that His churches and peoples should be exactly alike in manner and method any more than other phases of His material and spiritual creation. Back to Smithfield I came after spending one of the happiest, most varied and most profitable vacations. J. A. BRINKLEY. KITTREL COLLEGE OPENS. Kittrell, N. C.—The Thirty-first session of Kittrell College opened Sept. 27th. At 3:30 p. m., a large number of old and new students crowded the entrance of Duke Memorial Hall.

Large crowds were in attendance upon all the services Sunday. The Educational interests of the church were given right of way. The offerings were gratifying. Dr. Hunter's sermon at the morning hour, the Sunday School's special program in the afternoon and the platform service at night under the direction of the "Citizen's Committee," backed up by the very fine singing of the choir made the day memorable. The practical and earnest addresses of Attorney Frank L. Crocker, Mr. W. H. Jennings and Dr. Hunter, for better moral conditions and a clean city made a deep and lasting impression upon the audience. The campaign for $2500.00 with which to pay for the new steam heating plant and for other improvements in and around the church, was launched under most favorable conditions.

Levister) Northampton County is famous for sending out good men. The quality of the water of a stream is a pure index of the quality of the fountain. Some of the men from Northampton County have made the world know them because of the good they have done for the world, and some of them are still doing magnificent work for humanity. There are so many that I shall not attempt to name all of them, the task is too great. Their names need no comment for their work has made them favorably known. Some of them I wish to mention are the late Rev. R. L. Walden, D. D., our own Rev. N. F. Roberts, D. D., present Dean of the Theological School at Shaw University, Dr. M. T. Pope a practicing physician of Raleigh, having also been a member of the Medical corps of the Third North Carolina Regiment, Dr. Knight, present Superintendent of County schools of Wake, Lawyer Peele of the law firm of Peele and Maynard, and others. These represent the stream. The fountain is still flowing. There are such as the present Superintendent of Northampton County, Prof. P. J. Long, a man of a deep soul, whose presence creates an atmosphere of sinerity and true friendship. It is really worth while to come into his presence. Mr. J. W. Weaver, whose goodness is apparent at sight. His presence is delightful. To meet him is to be helped. Mr. A. J. Connor, former Superintendent of schools whose capacity is large and varied. He is a man of large usefulness and a very fine spirit. Hon. W. C. Coats, formerly representative in the General Assembly. Prof. Coats, whose conservative influence and fine conception of duty make him a very valuable asset to any community. These are simply types, for there are many others of like stamp. During the ten days of Institute for the Colored Teachers, I had the opportunity of seeing who the teachers are and something of their equipment for their work. In the first place I wish to say that the atmosphere among them was sweet with true patriotism and the spirit of conseration as well as conservatism. The country is safe as long as the instructors of youth are sound in their loyalty and true to the best interests of the commonwealth. In many counties of the State the men are leaving the school room, Northampton has more men in the public schools than any county in which I have held institutes and my THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE SUFFOLK NEWS ADVERTISEMENTS J.

The Principal has been successful in procuring a teacher for Latin and Domestic Science. She will begin her work about the first of the new year. Miss Beulah Boon, who was trained in this school, joined the teaching force this week. Miss Annie Hall retains her position as teacher of the Primary Department and sewing. The enrollment this week is 120. pqrKt 5c..Bk g tog tog gtoo ggow To the very great delight of our many men, women and children who work in our factories, some of the farmers have begun the digging of peanuts. Very soon, and those of us who have been on the idle list for awhile, will resume work. And this means more money for everybody. Dr. Jordan, Principal, was the host of his lady teachers at the Matinee of the "Warlace Of Flesh," Tuesday afternoon. They all very much enjoyed this very helpful moral film. M. Deputy Griffin. Rev. C. L. Griffin, General Deputy for the Supreme Lodge Knights of Gideon, returned home September 26th from Brunswick and Lunenburg Counlies where he has been organizing new lodges. Jones Lodge No. 362, in Brunswick was organized September 24th and Pride of Dundas Lodge No. 353 on September 25th. Those who were present and assisted in the initiation were Sir W. T. Jackson, D.

All exhibits will be judged in the afternoon of the first day. Information that we have received from far and near indicates more prominent visitors, and larger numbers than ever before. Speaking in the grand stand prompt- experience covers a large portion of the State. There is a period in the life of a boy the strong hand of a man is needed. Northampton believes in sending out men of worth, the finished products of the school masters and the consecrated women in the school room. I conducted the institute at Rich Square Academy, presided over by Prof. W. S. Creacy, who is honoring the institution that has sent him forth, Shaw University has reason to be pround of this man who is an inspiration to the community in which he lives and to which he is rendering such valuable services. He and his family did what they could? to contribute to the success of the institute. His mother deserves special mention for her part. When one meets her he can easily see where Prof. Creecy gets his fine qualities and friendly disposition. WANTED.—A woman to cook and assist in cleaning. Good salary.
