BISHOP SAMPSON BROOKS SAILS FOR AFRICA THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN SCHOLARSHIPS UNUSED High-Class Ballards and Operatic Selections As Well As "Blues" And Popular Songs To Be Featured—Capitalized at $100,000.00—Headed By Harry H. Pace, of Pace & Handy Music Company, Inc. New York, N. Y., Jan. 14.—Announcement has just been made of a new departure in music and business on the part of the race. A corporation with a capital of $100,000.00 has just been formed for the purpose of making phonograph records, using exclusively the voices and talent of colored people. It has long been a subject of comment that although colored people are very large buyers of phonograph records, our best voices and high-class musicians have had no recognition from the large white companies who furnish all the records that are supplied.

One of these is making purely comic records, another is singing "blues", and the third is singing his own syncopated songs. When artists like Madame Hackley, Madame Patti Brown, Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, Harry Burleigh, Marian Anderson, and Roland Hayes desire to make records they are advised that they must pay the companies to bring out their records. At very great expense Roland Hayes produced some of his own records a few years ago, but the cost was so heavy that he could not continue it. The organizers of the present company believe the demand on the part of the race to perpetuate the voices of its best musicians must be met and that such records will still. While not depreciating the commercial value of comic songs, "blues" and ragtime songs, the new corporation proposes to furnish every type of race ALPHA PHI MEN HAVE SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT K. C. ALPHA PHI MEN HAVE SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT K. C. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 12.—For the first time, Negro College men gathered west of the Mississippi River in annual fraternity convention held by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity in the Greater Kansas Cities with forty-two delegates and nearly seventy-five visiting members of the fraternity present. This marks one of the milestones of progress among Negro college men who in spite of the great distance from their local colleges were not to be prevented from participation in the discussion of the important questions and the solving of difficult problems confronting the Negro in America. On the evening of the first day, Monday, December 27th, a Smoker and Symposium was held at the Kansas City Community Center. Much interest was aroused through the discussion of the suggested subjects, "The Effects of the Migration Movement on the Political Status of the Negro," and "The Relation of Alpha Phi Alpha to Professional Fraternities." The public session of the convention was held at the Allen Chapel A. M. E. church, Tuesday evening, December 28th, to which a large number of citizens of the Greater Kansas Cities attended. At the last session of the convention, Friday, December 31st, the following national officers were elected for the year: Simone S. Booker, president, Baltimore, Md.; Elmer J. Chaska, vice-president, Cleveland, O; Norman L. McGhee, secretary, Howard University, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Homer Cooper, treasurer, Chicago; Carl J. Murphy, editor of the official organ, The Sphinx, Baltimore, Md. Members elected on the Commission which has charge of graduate work and public affairs of the fraternity are Rx-General President, Lucius L. McGee, Chicago, Ill.; Daniel W. Powles, St. Louis, Mo., and Dr. Homer Cooper, Chicago, Ill. Members remaining on the commission from last year are Dr. Roscoe C. Giles, chairman, Chicago, Ill., and Ormond A. Forte, Cleveland, O. From the very first day, it was easily evident to the residents of the Greater Kansas Cities that here was gathered a group of young men with a definite purpose and although there were many and various social events planned and given in honor of the visiting fraternity men by the hospitable citizens of the Greater Kansas Cities, nothing was permitted to interfere with the performance of the definite work of the fraternity and Norfolk Journal and Guide ```markdown ``` WANDS OF NG FORMED TO ACE'S TALENT GRAPH RECORDS And Operatic Selections As Popular Songs To Bq at $100,000.00—Headed of Pace & Handy Music Announcement has just been made business on the part of the race. $100,000.00 has just been formed graph records, using exclusively people.

This year the fraternity hopes to make the movement even more effective. 1730 ENROLLED AT HOWARD FOR HIGHER TRAINING Washington, D. C., Jan. 12.—With students from practically every State in the Union and ten foreign countries enrolled, the Howard University opened the Winter Quarter, January 4, 1921, with a record-breaking registration. The large enrollment during the autumn quarter indicated a tidal wave of educational interest. This was traceable to two causes. In the first place the war had ended and students who had dropped their books to take up arms were returning to complete their education; and in the second place the experiences of the war had taught them the full value of training as nothing else could have done. As a result, many returned to the school room to resume their studies where they had been left off years before. It is surprising but gratifying to find that this interest in education has not spent itself but has proven to be more healthy and permanent than was anticipated. The enrollment at Howard shows an increase in every department over that of 1919. The enrollment follows: College and Graduate Schools... 878 School of Law... 161 School of Religion (including those taking certificate courses)... 232 Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy... 459 When it is remembered that Howard University has discontinued entirely all preparatory work and is now open only to students able to qualify for collegiate and professional courses, its record of attendance is an entirely new thing in the world of Negro education and is of definitely significant import. ```markdown ``` $158,859.20 STILL A EX-SERVICE Of the amount set aside ex-service men, $158,859.20 will be lost to the race an of February.

We cannot hope to maintain our financial standing among the Nations or to prevent waste and extravagance in our governmental machinery until there is a more general practice of Thrift among us as individuals. One of the great needs in our National Government today is a Budget System, and when there is a general demand for it, we will have it. We need to bring to the attention of our young men the necessity for systematic conservation of their financial resources, using such means as are at the command of every young man today, such as banking, insurance, real estate, and other investments. The effects of Thrift are more far-reaching than merely the accumulation of money. The fundamental principles underlying Thrift are moral, and when ignored, the character of men and States is undermined." National Thrift Week is observed LENTEN SERVICES ATTUCKS THEATRE Will Be Conducted Throughout Lenter Season at 12 O'clock Under Auspices of Grace P. E. Church The Lenten season is near at hand and in keeping with the spirit of the season Grace P. E. church, Rev. D. J.

This will give the public an opportunity to re- ceive daily spiritual advice during this season at a point that is centrally loca- ted and of easy access to those em- ployed at their daily routine. Prominent ministers from in and out of the city will deliver addresses during the services. Archdeacon Russ- ell, of Lawrenceville, will spend a week here in this inspirational service. In the promotion of these services Grace church takes a forward step that it has not practiced before, and the spiritual revival that will be a- ffected by these services will be very beneficial to the community.

AMERICAN WOODMEN ENTER NORFOLK Establish Office in Attucks Building. Camp No.2 Fully Organized Here The American Woodmen, a fraternal beneficiary insurance society, was organized and incorporated in Denver, Colorado, in 1901, just twenty years ago. It insures against old age, disability, accident and death. The only society extending Woodcraft to colored people. It is based on the lodge system, its locals being known as Camps. The Supreme Camp of the American Woodmen issues a combined life and accident certificate to men and women alike, making it possible for the entire family to join the same camp, attend the same meetings, and participate in all benefits of the Order. The American Woodmen holds its charter under the laws of the State of Colorado, where the Mobile Bill is in force, and whose insurance statutes are recognized as being the best in existence for the protection of policy holders. They have $700,000.00 on deposit for the protection of their policies. They have paid out more than a million dollars in benefits and have written more than $60,000,000.00 of insurance. Prof. C. M. White, a former school teacher in Texas, is the Supreme Commander. Prof. L. H. Lightner, also a teacher in the State of Texas, is the Supreme Clerk. The American Woodmen stands well in the lead of most fraternals of America with a valuation of 111.9%. When we relazie that a large per cent of the fraternal societies of the country have a valuation of only 75% you can readily see the stability of the Woodmen with 111.9%.

LOCAL FIRM HAS BRIGHT FUTURE The Consolidated Fuel and Ice Company, organized last April to do a general coal and ice business, has closed a very successful period, ending January 1st. Starting out with many handicaps and at a time when business activities were somewhat dull and with many white firms of large capitalization as competitors, this company, headed by Mr. W. J. Atwater did not give up but instead dug in and their first report shows that they have been highly successful. The stockholders and officials are highly optimistic over the prospects of the future. The outlook is characterized as being especially bright. The plant is very conveniently located on the N. & W. R. R., and has an ice plant with a capacity of 100 tons of ice a day and storage facilities for 50,000 tons of coal. They handle all kinds of hard and soft coal as well as plenty of wood.

That is the opinion of the attorney general's office, in passing on the PAGE TWO PLANS THRIFT WEEK TO PUT ALL IDLE MONEY TO WORK Several National Organizations Are Cooperating To Encourage Habits Of Systematic Saving And Wise Investment. Concerted efforts to teach the American people the importance of putting every dollar in the nation at work in 1921 are to be made during the week beginning January 17, 1921. This will be nationally observed as "Tiriff Week." Under the general direction of the Young Men's Christian Association, organizations interested in bank savings, insurance, home building and sound investment securities will carry to each part of the nation the gospel of "Work and Save." A program of annual interest also will be observed by the Young Women's Christian Association, which already has done such excellent work along the lines of the proposed campaign. The Savings Division of the United States Treasury Department is much interested in "Thrift Week," and through the Government Savings Organization in this Federal Reserve District is preparing to give valuable cooperation. It is issuing a pamphlet entitled "Ross Your Dollars," for the use of boys and young men in industries. The keynote of this pamphlet is found in the statement—"The time to begin to save is the day you begin to work." One of the great needs of America today, bankers and students of economy agree, is the working dollar. Countless millions are sleeping lazy between mattresses and in bureau drawers and in the old broken tea-pot on the mantle, it is the purpose of "Thrift Week," to wake up these drowsy dollars and put them to work to increase active capital for the benefit of every individual and every industry in the country and for the nation's large. As a means of stimulating the savings movement the United States Treasury Department will offer during 1921 two new savings securities in addition to the 25-cent Thrift Stamp, the $5 War Savings Stamp and the $100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates. The new offerings are a $1 non-interest bearing Treasury Savings Stamp and a $25 Treasury Savings Certificate which will bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent. compounded quarterly if held until maturity, that is, five years. These new issues, it is believed, will not only help the savings movement in the public schools where it is already in such high favor, but they will serve to stimulate the work along other lines, and it is to give the movement a strong impetus that the United States Treasury Department plans to co-operate so fully in the national Thrift Week" program. Wounded By Accidental Discharge of His Duty General Stonewall Jackson was a kindly man but devotion to duty was his watchword. He was a soldier first and a considerate gentleman afterwards. For instance, a captain on his staff had roused his ice more than once by sins of omission along the line of duty. Just before the battle of Gates' Mill, the captain's services were required to carry an important dispatch, but he could not be found at headquarters. An orderly, sent to search for him, reported he had been wounded. "Wounded!" exclaimed Major Elwood, another member of the staff. "Why there has been no fighting since I saw him late last night." Stonewall's head began to bristle. "Captain Blank was undoubtedly wounded by the accidental discharge of his duty," he snorted. Thousands of Americans today are fooling with the "unloaded" gun of duty. It is the duty of every man to provide for his future and for the safety and happiness of those depend upon him, to lay aside regularly a certain portion of the yield of his hands and brain. Properly discharged, that duty is a weapon of safety and protection. Improperly discharged—like the "unloaded" gun—it may cripple you for life and ruin the future of those dear to you. The only safe way to discharge that duty is through sound, profitable, regular investment. Such investments are now ready at hand. The United States Government will continue to issue the Government Savings Securities which have been the safeguard of the savings of so many workers of the country since 1917. Through these investments the money you save can be made to yield a safe and profitable return. Stonewall "see his duty and he done it." If you see your duty, you can discharge it through regular saving and investment in government securities. Discharge your duty but don't do it accidentally, like Stonewall Jackson's young captain. There are no habits that so surely lead to real success as those of Saving; no power is so great as the power of thrift. Learn to SAVE money. A part of what you make regularly put into War Savings Stamps will in a short time start on the road to success. TOBACO or SNUFF HABIT CURED by harmless remedy. Guaranteed. Sent on trial.

"The boys of West Africa are getting good chances for industrial and technical training, but for a thousand miles there is not a single school that caters to the vocational education of African girls," declared Mrs. Casely Hayford, a native African, president of the proposed West African Industrial and Technical School for Girls, Freetown, Sierra Leone, in her recent address to the members of the Hampton Institute faculty on "The Needs and Possibilities of Africa." Mrs. Hayford said: "Women give to countries their chief characteristics. If the women are strong physically, intellectually, and morally, then the men are similarly strong. The women of Africa lead natural, outdoor lives. They are strong, fine, and unselfish. They lead lives of complete affection. These women, however, are brokenhearted. They realize their children are not getting a chance to receive an education. It is hard for girls to keep their respect without any money in their pockets. "For the past four months my niece and I have been in America. We are trying to interest people in the establishment of a vocational school for the girls of West Africa. "The British Government is favorable to our educational plans. It is glad to see the natives helping themselves. It has promised to make a suitable grant of land and to provide one-half the funds required for the school. "Many think of Africa as inhabited by savages, but it is a misnomer to call people 'savage,' who do as beautiful art work as do the Africans that have never come in contact with white people, who engage in communal life, who have such innate ideas of politeness, and who have such a romantic outlook on life. SEWALL'S POINT Dr. Geo. R. Jones, the presiding elder, preached at M.t Zion A. M. E. church last Sunday. There was good attendance in spite of the inclement weather.

Some forty years ago one could keep body and soul together in Africa for ten to fifteen cents a day. The impress on Africa, however, of western civilization has broadened the ideas of Africans. How can the economic change be met? We believe it can be met through Christian efficiency. This is what we propose, with the help of our friends, to give African girls." Miss Kathleen M. Easmon, a native African, who was one out of eight hundred students at the Royal College of Arts of England to receive a Special Talent Scholarship, and who has successfully completed a four-year art course at South Kensington, referred to the need of giving African girls some "education for life" and of bringing into helpful contact the people of the town and the country or "bush," as it is called in Africa. "the people of Africa are dissatisfied," said Miss Easmon. "They have an instinct to beautify everything. They have artistic longings. They decorate every conceivable object—wooden spoons, calabashes, trays, horns, and even discarded whiskey bottles and cigarette tins. They work straightaway on metal, leather, and wood. They do beautiful work in gold with very crude tools. "We in African feel proud of American Negroes. We wish them to know what we can do, even in the 'bush'. We wish people everywhere to see and know about the work that is done by those who are not influenced by outsiders." Miss Easmon displayed and described some of the art work in weaving, leather, wood, and brass which has been done by Africans who live in the hinterland. Mrs. Hayford and Miss Easmon left Hampton for Atlanta, Tuskegee, and other educational centers to present the needs and possibilities of West African girls.

Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who extended a cordial welcome to the Enamination Day visitors, presented Sir Arthur, who referred to "the magnificent work of Negroes in helping, during the recent World War, to free Europe and America from militarism and in helping to make civilization for the future safe for the world." Sir Arthur added: "We have to remember in England, as I know you remember here, that there is even greater work to be done in peace times than in war time. The triumphs of peace are greater than any that are possible by means of war. The work which you have to do and which we have to join in, is in the uplifting of mankind. It is in securing healthier surroundings, in securing justice between man and man, in helping every child to secure to education he ought to have, and in uplifting humanity where we come in contact with it. The only liberty that is worth having is the one that enables us to give greater service to our fellow-men and women." Unselfish Leadership J. Thomas Newsome, well-known colored lawyer of Newport News, Va., delivered the principal address on "Taking Stock." He said: "The Negro race has to its credit today in almost every community safe and sound leaders, whose integrity and character commend them to the sober judgment and consideration of those in chagre of public affairs. These leaders are gradually making a public opinion which will eventually mean a larger measure of good for the Negro people. "There are leaders of State-wide influence who are called upon more and more in matters affecting the race. We have, in addition to these leaders, men of national and even international reputation, whose motives are never questioned. Holding different beliefs as to the best method to pursue in order to gain for the Negro a larger freedom and a fuller enjoyment of the necessities of life we know that men like Dr. R. R Moton, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Prof Kelly Miller, and other outstanding figures in our national life, are animated by the sole and unselfish yearning for what is best for the entire Negro population. What Negroes Want "Having frankly admitted that this is a land of opportunities and rewards for big faithful, truth impels me to mention briefly a few of the things which we crave as a right and which we firmly believe will be finally recorded us. "We call for better educational facilities for our children and a more equitable division of the funds which are set aside for the public schools, based upon the actual needs of the people and not upon race or color. We insist that while there should be primary and secondary schools for the masses of our people, the State owes it to our ambitious young men and women to afford them, at a reasonable cost, institutions for the pursuing of the highest possible culture which is absolutely essential to progressive leadership. "We desire to feel safe in our life and property and in the pursuit of that happiness which is defined by the Declaration of Independence to be the 'inimitable right of all.'" "The manhood of the Negro people raises a mighty protest against the humiliations and insults that our women folks are daily subjected to by the unjust and discriminatory operation of the jim-crow car laws. "While we invoke the most vigorous enforcement of the criminal laws of the land and swift and adequate punishment for all who commit offences against the peace and dignity of the Commonwealth, we still condemn without reserve the growing tendency toward anarchy and lynch law, which, if unchecked, will destroy the fabric of our splendid institutions. "Wherever today Negroes are assembled to glory in their freedom and to pledge renewed loyalty to the 'Land of the Free,' they unite in an appeal to the consciences of their white fellow-citizens to arise in their magnanimity and right the wrongs which degrade alike the oppressor and the oppressed. "Let us face the future with courage and with hope, firm in the conviction that this country, which has accepted our services in all her wars and in times of peace will finally come to know that her glory and abiding greatness can only be prepented by justice alike for all her children, irrespective of race, color, creed, or religion." The Emancipation Day program also included addresses by two Hampton Institute students—Marie L. Smith, colored, Brookfield Center Conn., and Clayton Layton, Oncidea Indian, Souix Falls, S. D.; reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, Miss M. L. Evans; quartet singing; chorus singing of Negro spirituals; invocation and benediction by Rev. J. A. Brown, pastor Queen Street Baptist church, Hampton. Dr. J. T. Lattimore and J. Wirt Robinson, both of Hampton led the audience in the singing, of plantation melodies. Charles H. Harris, president of the Elizabeth City Council Emancipation Association, under whose auspices the Hampton Institute exercises were held, pre CELEBRATE FREEDOM'S ANNIVERSARY WITH JOYOUS CEREMONY CELEBRATE FREEDOM'S ANNIVERSARY WITH JOYOUS CEREMONY Bethaven, N. C. "The annual Emancipation celebration here January 1st was a grand affair. The preliminary exercises were enthusiastic. Singing interspersed with jubilee music of antebellum days. Invocation by Rev. D. B. Bolecher; the solos rendered by Miss L. E. Ringold and Miss Vivian Harden were accepted with great cheer. Mr. Roden Mitchell read the Emancipation Proclamation. Rev. R. A. Morisen, the orator of the occasion, fully sustained his reputation. He delighted the hearts of the people when he showed the abundant success made by the colored people since their national freedom. He said in part: "In the city of Norfolk and Portsmouth, Va., only 18,000 Negro men, women and children deposited simply as Christmas Savings funds in the Mutual Savings Bank, Portsmouth, the Brown Savings Bank and Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, Norfolk, and the Communist Savings Bank, Portsmouth, the four Negro banks, the surprisingly huge sum of $28,000.00, or nearly a half million dollars, which excels anything in the banking business ever before accomplished in the history of the race by Negroes and for Negroes. This great business and financial achievement by these bankers and depositor reflect very great credit and honor not only upon themselves, but upon the entire Negro race and should serve as a stimulus to us as a distinct race group to enter more largely into business activities conducted by Negroes everywhere in this country than ever before. "But I can come still nearer home and point you to concrete instances of Negro progresse praiseworthy achievements in the business world, for in Elizabeth City, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, during the year 1920, just ended. Negroes have organized and established banks of their own, which now are being successfully operated, while in Edenton, and Tarboro, organizations have been formed and stock subscribed to soon begin the operation of others. "This shows what can be done by race unity along business lines. My plan today is, let us away with forever our financial and business doubts and fears, division, opposition, and apathy now too prevalent among us, and rally to the moral and financial support of every Negro business enterprise everywhere in order that in the business and financial world we may rise to independence, influence and power which the world will be connelled to recognize and honor." He commended in terms most complimentary Governor Bickett, and the commission which he appointed to recommend an institution for the betterment of the colored youths. He named several other white persons in the South who had united their efforts in the help and elevation of the colored people. Dr. Morisen is principal of the Training School at Slandenville, N. C. SAW WOOD (By Dr. Frank Crane) American shing has a most expressive term—"Saw wood." It means, keep right on. The idea is that, while the uncertainty lasts, while the problem is still unsolved, while nobody knows the outcome, you go on with your job. Keep the wheels turning, the goods moving, the business stirring, the store open and the work going on. Then, whatever happens, if y a toujours eek, as the French say, or at least that's that, as the English put it. Most things rectify themselves if you don't get paricky and quit. It always stops raining, said J. P. Morgan. Most diseases disappear if you can manage to forget them. If your enemies are after you and the air is dark with threats, if the clamor of tongues assails you, and if the grey wolves are howling in the woods—say nothing and saw wood. If you are unappreciated and tend to discourage and life altogether looks bleak—go ahead and saw wood. Things will take a turn. We all have our tasks, thanks be! If we don't understand, and can't see and be buffeted by fears and flurries, at least we can go ahead with our work. That's that. At the business of life we are employed by the day, not by the job. We have so many bricks to lay, so many shingles to nail or so many feet of ditch to dig. As for how it's all coming out, who knows? Meanwhile, let us saw wood. Blessed be routine! Sometimes we complain of it. We curse the daily grind. But, take people by and large, it is they who have some imperative thing to do, some exacting detail, that keenest. At least they who work eight hours a day are not bored, usually. And it those who do not know what they are to do next, or have nothing at all to do, that get into mischief. Only the idlers are world-weary. Recreation is good, but only as the fringe, corollary and appendix of work. Nothing but play drives a man to jail. The sun is an old routinier. Every morning he gets us, and every evening he goes to bed. He's been at it lot these many years. Yet every morning is fresh and dewey and every evening is new. The oldest things are freshest. Men change their clocks, they sleep late or rise early, and they dispute about the zodiac, but the sun goes on sawing wood. Do your daily work, attend to your job, go on with your program, and so line yourself up with the steady forces of the universe. Only by sawing wood will we get our national debts paid, and bring back prosperity, and achievements, and outlive scandal, and establish a reputation.

They bave great ex- poctations all of the time, and most of the time they have nothing: to show for it but loss of time and self-respect and expense accounts. That is when they reluctantly reach the point that their hopes are alt in vainj that “there's nothing doing.” We have known persons to hang on at Washington fron one inanenration to another, laboring and hoping Uaat they should receive an appointment, only to be disappointed and have to settle down to the hardest sort of effort to live in Washington, where they usually die in poverty and with Joss of all the reputation they had gained in other and more fortuitous days, Most of them are “has-heen statesmen.” ‘ It is reported from Washington in every week's bench of specials to Afro-American newspapers that Afco- American office-seekers, are crowding: into the city, and Ubat by the Ath of March the city will have a little amy of them with “great expectations” in their hopes. ‘This is the case even after the slate-makers of the race, beating the new [resident to it, have placed on a scrap of paper every office Afro-Americans are likely to xet and placed opposite exch office the name of the person who is likely to be named far the office. and have serup- ulously ignored the wouten politicians, who are up in arms shout the injustice of all such sites. We don't blame them. Let tiem stand up for their rights.

They have te di a lot of sceking to be sure of getting only x Tittle Dit of office. Their influence is always small with the appointing powers, as they seldom have any or ganized voting strength behind them; they have to make up with persistence what they lack in influence. And if we had not ay many office- seekers ax we always have we should not gel as many appointments, and they are few enough, as we do get. GOVERNOR CATTS OUT. Governor Catts of Florida has been inducted out of office and Governor Pardee has been inducted into. the place vacated by Catts. ‘The retiring Governor is a preacher of the Gospel of the meek and lowly Nazarine, and will reside in Defuniak Springs, from which we judge that he is a Northern- bred ministerial carpet-bagyer, who keas disgraced the offize vf Governor by taking the part of lynchocrats and inciting to Inwlessness and inspiring race hatred by his position on moh violence. Under the administration of Gov- emor Gatis, Florida has taken bisch rank as a lawless State. That will be a nice thing for his children to re- member. Governor Pardee promptly ave it out that his odminstration will stand for law and order. ‘That is to say, in going into the State House he rebuked and kicked Mr, Calls going out of it. The people of Florida should congratulate themselves upon ‘tho induction of Pardee and the out- duction of Cutts. SMALL STATESMANSHID. ‘The Reapportionment Committee of Congress had much fun and excite. ment last week, in considering the re- spportionment of the membership of the House of Representatives on the +basis of the new census of population. It all came about by the initroduetion of Cangressman Tinkham's propos. tion that, instead of increasing the mombership of the House of Repre- sentatives of the Southern States should be reduced on a basis of their disfranchisement of their Afro. American citizens. “The committce did not think well of tte Tinkham proposition, and threw it down, He threatens to take it tc the floor of the House and have the matter fought out in open meeting. ‘Tho discussion of the resolution has ‘provoked some “hot stui?” by South. ‘ern editors, who think that in the mat. ster gt the Afro-American as a persor and /any interests he may have as “eitizeh, they are the sole trustees and ‘must ‘dé scorsulted when he or his in. ‘terests re 40 be considered.

CLOSER TRADE WITH HAYTI | The National Negro Business | League is responsible for sendin out the followings news note from the Washington headquarters: | “Several business men of Huiti arc ‘pianning to attend the nest annual "session of the National Nexro Busi- ‘ness League, which meets in AUanta, Ga. August 17th ISO, 19th, 121, for the purpese of presenting certain “plans which will result in keeping the Negro business mien of Amoriet in- iformed concerning, business opportunt- jties in Haiti, One Haitian business merchant would change the name of Ithe American organization to that of the International Nowra Business Leauctte.” | ‘The news contained in this note is of the sereatest interest in itself; when ‘it is considered in the light of the facts as they transpired a long time Luca the interest is much enhanced. I marks a radically changed attitude of ‘the Haitians of influence toward the Afro-Americans of the United States ‘Formerly the Haitians did not consider It ood policy to have any trade or social relations with Afra-A moriesns, heeause they regarded thent as being af ne value te them ia either reli tions, but rather ae a drawback, as the white people of the country rated them as being of no value, Haitian business men did all af their business with white merchants, and when they came to New York far that purpose they were invisible, to all in. tents and purzases, to Afra-Ameri- cans, who had ne trade and Httle so: cial standing that could by helpful to the Haitians, ‘The Usitian Minister at Washington and the Hgitian Can. sul-General and Consul at New York had no association and very limited ‘acquaintance with Afro-Americans, and were seldom seen in the company of the latter. “That is vary much thy lcase at the present time. * At one time it was given out that the Haition Government — preferred that this country send them a white aman rather than a black one as: Min- ister Resident and Consul-General, al though we have had such distinguished men as Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett appointed by President Grant; John Mereer Langston, Frederick Douglass and: John Stephens Durham as ou Ministers to Haiti. ‘The Haitians sco a long line of white Ministers after awhile, and their present troubles ar largely travealle to that fact. We telieve that the movement for closer trade relutions letween the Maitians and ourselves will prove 4 ‘ood thing for both, The Afro-Ameri jean has xrown wonderfully in his trade and banking interests in the past twenty years, and it is worth while for his brethren in other parts ty the world who have trade and financial business with this country t [draw closer to him. The International Negro Business League should becom ja kreat power in the world of trade and finanee, as it has become in the United States, through the activities of its hustling: membership. “OUR POLITICAL STATUS.” | The article on this page bearing the jabove caption makes interesting read- ‘ing. The contributor analyzes the Present political status of the Afro- j American, which is, as every one knows, anything but satisfactory, and preseribes a remedy for improvenient. The remedy shatters old traditions, It absolves the Afro-American from traditional alliance with the Repub- lican party. Our corcespondent takes the view that the time has come when Afro-Americans “must study men and measures, and vote for those men and measures Which we believe will serve the highest interests of the community and the State of which we are a part, [regardless of party." In that posi- Gon he will be’ sustained by a very large and increasing element of in- ‘telligent men an:l women of the race. | The problems of the South, racial, political, social and economic, are pe- culiar to the South, and nmst be met and solved by Southern people. with- out regard to what people in other parts of the country think about them, ‘That these problemi will all be worked out with justice and equity to all, in duo time, is the hope of all and the belief of many. The breaking of a political cleavaga which has intensi- fied all of our problems scems to us to be one sensible way of approaching a solution. There are, of course, dif- ferences of opinion, but the Journal and Guide believes that the closing paragraphs of our eorrespondent’s let- ter expresses the opinion of a majority of the intelligent men and women of the race who reside in the South.

Both groups are doubtless, sincere, but both are in ercor, so fur ax the effectiveness of theic sympathy goes. It is misdirected and in the main wasted.

All ele. ments of the population have heen well provided for, and Mr, Dubie has announced a future program of edu- cational advancement that promises ‘great things for Norfolk. | DENYING THE TRUTI re (Richmond Planet.) 7 We have read with much interest not unmixed with more amusement, the denial on the part of certain Southern Congressmen, who declare that the allegations that colored citi- ens are denied the right of suffrage are untrue, ‘They charge that these statements are being made by North- evn Negroes, ignoring the fact that in most instanees, these are Southern Negrovs, who have moved North and that they speak from personal know!- vige as to the condition of affairs in shix suction of the country, No honorable Southerner will deny that the Negro electorate has been jenied the right of suffrage, Senator Benjamin Tillman did not deny it and Senator James K. Vardaman, with all of his faults, was never guilty of cantradicting @ fact that is known in all of this land. If colored men are aut kept from voting now, it is for the same reason that in a duelling vontest, where one of the combatants is put “hors de combat"; that is, out of commissien, the successful con- testant has no further need to defend himself against his helpless antag- nist. Colored folks do not attempt to vote for the reason that they know the result und that they are not af- forded any protection by the National government. Colored men and wom- en were permitted to register and vote in Richmond, Virginia, at the Inst ‘election, but practically all of them had learned their lesson and were en- deavoring (o vote for three popular Democratic candidates, in different rice Still they bad been barred from the Democratic. primaries whieh some of them desired to enter. As we understand it, the proposition is simply to reduce the cong:essional representation, where any consider- able body of the electorate is disfran- chised, It is a fair proposition that ‘should be ‘applied North as well as South. As the matter now stands, col- ored people in “this neck of the woods” are not looking to Washingten any more for help. They are looking to the white men, with whom they have lived to see to it that their rights and privileges ate accorded to them. We have expressed the opinibn time and again that the time will come when the right of franchise for the colored people will be accorded to them by the South, even should it be opposed by the white people of the North. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People i: veing this question in- the fore. round and its statements in certai: carticular instances may be incorrect ut as a general proposition, what it ys about the disfranchisement 0 he Negroes throughout the Southlan¢ y true and the men who are opposing he organization know that it is true, Colored men must be manly, God- caring, polite and obliging, but thes ‘ust insist upon their citizenship rights and combine with the better! class of white people in the South to secure them. Outside help is ben- eficial, but inside results are to be secured right here. THE WRONG COURSE. We have been giving considerable thougint to the matter now being asci- tuted, of reducing the representation in Congress, on necount of the dis. franchisoment of the Negro in cer- tain of the Southern States, and our dsductions lead us to content! that we oul be done more harm than svod, if the representation in Congress: was reduced for such reason. It is true our people have, to an extent, been disfranchised in the South, but it was only after the reat bulk of them had proven themselves unprepared, and ‘were the victims of designing politicians, that the South era white man made up his mind tc disfranchise the colored man. A great change has come, both t the white man and the black many, ir Feeent veurs, and although there is yet a number of white men who wil jdo most anything: to keep the black man from enjoying the franchise jthere is a growing number of o:her [Who are willing to extend to all blacks Seapable of exes cising the franchisy ‘the right to do so, £ Acman may be ever sw honest am Pupright. hut if he cannot read san make out for whom he is voting, he i Lat the merey of others, an too afte Jothers do his voting, | tis true in the bosinning the blue mat's wishes were honestly expresse and carried out, but ere long. th temptation to take advantae of th unsuphistieated crept in, and all kind of dishonest things were carried: on Hat (he expense of the iznarani vater Sand however much we may conten iUhat every man should have the righ jt vate, Lisa dangerous experimen {for any people, white or black. wh ivannet read and prepare his ow beadtet. |, Time will convince one worst on Semivs that the Negra, in the ate jot voting, has been more sinne against than sinned, and when he j J uualified the right will come back ¢ chim, through the same peopte wh Vhave deprived hint of that richt.- | Newport News Star, A TIME FOR ALL.

One paragraph in |that article is especially thought-pro- voking. It is this: “We judge from the attitude of good will and friendship which both Sena- tor Harding and Governor Coolidge re- gard and respond to the White South that Afro-American politicians will fare no better, if as well, under the Harding administration as they did under the Roosevelt administration. Thee is nothing in the situation to indicate that they will. We wish there ‘was. ‘Why does an incoming Republican administration, which owes its exist- ence to the good sense of the East and West, go a courting the Solid South with an enthusiasm and favor that make your head swim, right in the face of the Afro-American, whose un- compromising political enemy the Solid South is? Why is this potitical group, so important in border and Northern “States, faced with defiance by the new Republican administration, which owes its record-breaking vote in large measure to the loyalty of this ‘powerful minority. "Not another voting group in Amer- ica would be treated with the same indifference and contempt.

Greater distress exist than ever has been for several years past, but we are grateful to say that on one hand our organization has been so developed that it is becoming increasingly easy for the Salvation Army to deal with big things, and on the other, the public has been most generous in contributing the necessary funds, testifying again to the high place we have in the confidence of the people. Through the kindness of Rev. N. D. King and his members we were privileged to have the use of the Metropolitan church, where Mr. W. W. Foreman, chairman of our Home Service Campaign, planned for an afternoon service, selecting Major Henry D. John W. Eale as the speaker for the evening, in who played his part in a masterly Mr. way, taking his topic on the Work of taurant the Salvation Army, after which Mr. has be M. R. Jackson, treasurer of our Home Service Campaign, made a very touching appeal for the offering. Every-immitt and swe ar"off" and "on" things for a few days beginning 1921 one present helped liberally. Total amount for offering raised, $15.00. Through pots and collecting cards in Norfolk, $79.33. With the kind help of Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Boman we raised in Lumbert's Point $29.34, making a total for all efforts, $123.67. With this amount we were able to clear our expenses for printing, help, and gave of our Christmas tree 100 poor children a box of mixed candies, peanuts, toys and oranges. The 71 baskets distributed to the poor brought cheer to the most needy of the city, each basket containing the following: 1 can corn, 1 can pork and beans, 1 large can tomatoes, 4 pounds potatoes, 1 pound coffee, 1 box doent, 1 sack flour, ¼ pound tea, 1 head cabbage, 1 box oatmeal, 1 pound sugar, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 bunch celery, and a live chicken. Mrs. P. B. Young, who we've mentioned in the past as an interested party, has played her part in a wonderful way by giving her donation of money, clothes, oranges and shoes. With her donation to clothes and shoes with Miss Falker's donation of clothes and shoes, we were able to supply six different parties with clothes and shoes. One came to us stranded, and we were able to suit him off completely. God bless the kind givets. Through the kindness of the Queen and Cumberland streets schools principals we were able to secure substantial donation of groceries donated by the children of Norfolk to help with our relief work. Mr. H. C. Young, a committee of our Home Service Campaign, donated his car and himself helping to bring the groceries. All will be pleased to hear of the cheer it brought to a family down and out, who we were keeping under shelter by standing his rent, as his landlord was asking for the rent or the house. No money, no food, with a family of eight to take care of. Through the kindness of the schools mentioned, we were able to fill his basket with groceries, sending him away with a smile to his family. This is the kind of work we want to keep up in Norfolk.

Alberta, Va., Dec. 30.—As Christmas holidays are passing and the year coming to a close, we, the Little Zion children and school, have much for which to be thankful. We listened to a wonderful Christmas sermon preached by the pastor, Rev. S. A. Cole, Text. Matt. 2:2, subject, "Seeking Jesus." The review of our Sunday school quarterly lessons occupied many of our minds. On Sunday much beauty and light were unfolded to us by Mrs. I. V. Short, who reviewed the lesson for us. On Monday there was a Christmas tree made by all, namely Sunday school, Woman's Home Missionary Circle, Mother's Club, Penny Club, and others. The tree was inden with presents which seemed to have given satisfaction to all. A very interesting program was conducted by our public school teacher, Mrs. Augusta C. Scott. Committee of Christmas tree: Mrs. Augusta C. Scott, Mrs. I. V. Short, Mrs. Eddie Hatchet Mrs. Minnie L. Short visited her sister, Mrs. Phyllis Morris, 1019 Brook Road, Cinter Park, and worshiped at Sixth M. Zion Baptist church, Richmond, Va., on the 25th. She has returned and reports a very pleasant trip. Miss Ida Hicks, of Richmond, Va., is the guest of her sisters, Mrs. Gracie Craile and Mrs. Elen Cabiness. Mr. George Kingston and little daughter, Catherine Kingston, who have been very ill, are reported much improved. Misses Pinkie Manson and Alzera Short are spending the holidays with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Short. We are very glad to have them in the church and Sunday school.

How, then, can a man teach unless he himself has been taught; and how can the people learn unless there be method in the teaching? To the knowledge of the past, there are continuous additions. Many of the customs and methods of yesterday, no longer obtain. According to God's own natural and divine law of evolution, all things are in a state of motion and move forward with the advance of time. The people no longer require that kind of preaching which has had its primary purpose, the display of wild emotions and excitement. Amid this intricate civilization in which we live, the people require a sober instruction out of God's own Holy Word of those truths which make for civic as well as spiritual right-earness. Rev. Henderson, of Charlotteville, Va., is the type of preacher that the people need. He has his duty well defined. He has an unusual amount of information, and a clear, instructive, and impressive manner of imparting it. Rev. Henderson preached both morning and evening. In the morning he preached from Exodus 22:26—"Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said, Who is on the Lord's side, let them come unto me, and all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him." And in the evening (Ephesians 6:14—"But God forbid that I should glory save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world." These are two beautifully taught and well appled lessons which will linger for a long time in the memory of the people of the Bank Street Baptist church. Rev. Henderson has expressed his intention of doing missionary work in Africa after he has completed his courses of study in the Virginia Union University. We do not wish to deny Africa of any possible advantage, but to be frank, we must say that the Baptist denomination has great need for Rev. Henderson here in America. The services of the past week have been very much enjoyed. Sunday morning, Rev. R. J. Langston, ex-pastor of the church, will preach the installation sermon of the newly elected pastor, Rev. C. M. Long, Rev. Hobbs, of the Jerusalem Baptist church, will preach at 3 p. m. The pastor, Rev. C. M. Long, will preach at night. The pastor and church extend a very cordial welcome to all to worship with them at any of their services. Collection for last Sunday, $130.00. Sunday school at 9:30 a.m. Morning service at 11:30 a.m. t. M. W. Stoneill, Supt. Rev. C. M. Long, pastor. JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCH (By H. J. Griffith) Owing to the inclementy of the weather, the attendance was small, but the faithful few who came out were fully rewarded. The Sunday school opened at its usual hour. The lesson on "Forgiveness," was very practical, instructive and helpful. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor spoke from Heb. 11:24-25, subject, "A Wise Decision." He pictured vividly to his congregation how Moses refused the sinful pleasures of Egypt, but choose rather to lead the people of God. He labored to impress his congregation to leave of the pleasures of earth which last only for a season, and strive for the pleasures of Heaven, which are everlasting. At 5:30 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. rendered a very creditable program. This branch of the church, under the efficient leadership of Bro. W. H. Whiting is progressing nicely. At 8 p. m., Rev. Jackson preached a very powerful sermon, subject, "The Victorious Church." The revival services which are now being conducted are bringing forth fruits for labor. Sister E. Evangeline Hicks, a wonderful spiritual singer, is constraining many to accept Christ. Those who hear her are impressed with her spiritual power through song. The results of the revival since it has been in progress are, 7 accessions and 19 converts. Total collection from fall departments, $96.23. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE OUS NEWS :- GRACE P. E. CHURCH Although it rained much last Sunday, the Sunday school had its regular session, which was fine. We have entered a new quarter, and the lessons were very interesting. The attendance at the morning service was as good as could be expected. The rector preached an eloquent sermon on the "Christian's Ideal," which was acceptably received. The offering was very good. This Sunday is co-operate Communion for the Woman's Auxiliary Guild and Chancel Guild. The public is invited to all the services of the church. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH The revival continues during the week, and through the 19th. Rev David W. Cannon, A. M., D. D., is conducting the meeting and preaching every night. He is a powerful preacher and delivered two soul stirring sermons last Sunday. Despite the very inclement weather, the attendance at the morning service was large. The pastor conducted the Junior League service, and also a joint service held by the Seniors and Intermediates. Meetings are being held every afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Services in our church were not largely attended last Sunday as usual, on the account of the rain. A faithful few braved the storm and came out to the early morning prayer meeting at 6:30 a.m. Quite a number were present in the Sunday school at 9:30. The officers and teachers are planning to do big things for the Master and His cause this year than ever before. At 11:30, Dr. W. B. Reid, B. D., of Hartford, Conn., preached a powerful sermon from the subject, "Whether Shall I Go?"—Psalms 139:7-10. This being the beginning of our revival services the message was very effective upon the hearers. Immediately after morning service the pastor preached the funeral of Mr. John Allen. Five persons were baptized after the morning's contribution. At 3 p. m., a goodly number assembled in the covenant meeting to testify for the Lord. At 4 p. m., the pastor gave the right hand of fellowship to forty-eight. Bread and wine was then served to the saints. At 5:30, quite a number were present in the B. Y. P. u. service. A very interesting lesson from St. James 2:15-26, was read and discussed. At 7 p. m., a short prayer service was conducted by Bro. Frank Burden. At 7:30, Dr. W. J. Reid preached from 2 Kings 2:11, subject, "The Translation of Elijah." After this wonderful message had been delivered, five sinners came forward to be prayed for and seven to join with the church. The spirit of the Lord was greatly manifested in our church throughout the day. Dr. Reid will be with us two weeks to run the revival, and we are praying that God may mightily use him. He is a powerful speaker. The day closed with 63 accessions, for which we greatly praise the Lord. SECOND CALVARY SECOND CALVARY CHURCH SERVICE SECOND CALVARY CHURCH SERVICE THE WEEKLY NEWS REV. W. B. REED The great battle is raging at Second Calvary. Rev. W. E.

CHURCH The services last Sunday were well attended, owing to the inclement weather. Our Sunday school was held at its usual hour. Our pastor, Rev. Nottingham, preached as usual one of his soul stirring sermons, taking his text from Isaiah 12:2-3, subject, "Holy Joy In God," in which was both inspiring and helpful. At the evening service, Rev. Mainor delivered to us a wonderful message, which was helpful, inspiring and very practical in its application. The Endeavor meeting was led by Mrs. Anna H. Davis. The topic was well discussed. All are welcome to our services. Come. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Largely attended and appreciative services were held in our church last Sabbath. Our Sunday school at the usual hour, 9:30, was largely attended and very inspiring. Despite the inclement weather of last Sunday, we noted with especial delight an increase in our enrollment in the Sabbath school. Our Sunday school membership campaign will continue through this month, and we expect to largely increase our enrollment by thoroughly canvassing our church membership. You are cordially invited to be present on next Sabbath. At the morning preaching hour the pastor, Rev. N. D. King, filled his pulpit and was greeted by a large course of hearers at this hour, who were richly edified with an excellent discourse. He used "The Home," as the subject to his message. At the close of this very helpful message, two persons came forward and united with the church. The Christian Endeavor services at 6 o'clock were very interesting and helpful. At the evening preaching hour our congregation was only out in small numbers due to the inclementity of the weather; nevertheless those present were favored with another very excellent Gospel message by the pastor. Strangers, visitors and friend's are always welcome to all of our services. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Despite the fact that we sat beneath clouded skies with an incessant downpour of rain to mar the attendance last Sunday, Heaven was made to rejoice. There were four additions to the church through the magnetic appeal of the Gospel by the pastor, Rev. Bowling delivered an effective and practical sermon from the subject, "Sheltering the Ark, or The Secret of Blessing for You and Your Family." Text, 2 Sam. 6:12. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended. The evening service was again the scene of much rejoicing. The pastor delivered another touching sermon from the subject, "But Some Doubled." Text, Matt. 28:17. There were three additions in this service, including one conversion. Why put it off? It is your business to help. Each one win one for Christ and the church.

Brazil Is A Very Interesting Country Land of Fruit and Flowers as Seen by Party of Sixteen Offers Wonderful Opportunity to NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Colored Americans (By Dr. L. H. Stinson) Atlanta, Ga.—So much has been said of Negro immigration from the South for the North and East the past three years until it aroused a migration spirit in quite a few minds among different classes of our people; hence it was easy to work up enthusiasm for a trip to South America with Re Do Janiero, Brazil as the objective point. To Dr. Barsbello too much credit cannot be given for attempting to get up a party to visit Brazil, (South America), and especially is this true when he was confronted with the cold fact that Negroes don't venture far away from home and certainly not across the waters 6,000 miles away. Our people as a whole seem to be afraid to venture away from their own friends and are contented to sit idly and meekly in his prejudiced town or city while every other nation, even the Indians, venture out seeking fortunes in some far away countries. Dr. Barsbello had ascertained through some friends of his in Brazil, that there were great possibilities for the Negro in South America and Brazil in particular. He therefore decided to get up a party to visit Brazil, and after about two months' preparations, about twenty-five men and women assembled in New York early in July, 1920, expecting to sail for Brazil on the 10th of that same month. We had been informed by Dr. Barsello that we would be the guests of the Brazilian Government, and that our transportation fee would be very small, a portion being contributed by the Brazilian Government. But owing to the unseaworthy condition of the Brazilian ship, Vandau, and some other unknown reason or reasons, these plans fell through. Here we were confronted with a very bad disappointment or go at our own expenses on the British ship, Tauban. As it is a well known fact that the Negro expects a great deal for nothing, it was not surprising that our party dwindled to sixteen when confronted with the above facts. Finally after many conferences the chief was sifted from the wheat and sixteen of us, including Barsello, booked passage on the Vauban, sailing from Hoboken, N. L., July 16, 1920, at high noon. We were very agreeably surprised on boarding this ship as we found everybody from the captain down to the poorest helpers as congenial as we wished them to be. We were treated as men and women without regard to color. There were passengers of most all nationalities on board, and we had all conveniences on the ship that we had at home, and all nations were as one. Our trip over the Atlantic was a most pleasant one, not a storm during the whole sixteen days and nights of continuous sailing; no sight of land for the first thirteen days, and but a few ships in the far distance. On Sundays we had services in the chapel or saloon conducted by Bishop Clemons of our party and a white missionary minister. Long before our sixteen days and nights had expired, some of our party became discontented, homesick and seasick, but as it could not be decided who was Jonah, we decided, out of necessity, to stick it out. In our party were three preachers one a bishop; two female school teachers, four dentists, including Dr. Barbs bello; three doctors, two insurance men, one business man, and one machinist. On August 1, 1920, a party (or our party) arrived in Reo De Janiero, Brazil. Passing up the Channel we beheld the most beautiful scenery and certainly one of the most beautiful harbors in the world. On either side of the Channel we could see mountains with their green fruit trees of all descriptions, tall palms, and giant oaks. Here and there a mountain, but covered with bamboo or gutta percha. In the valleys were fertile fields, prairies, grasses and healthy cattle, grazing or basking in the tropical morning sun, just peeping from the clouds. Farther in the bay we saw a beautiful little Island, upon which was situated a light house; here and there were ships and motor boats plowing up and down the bay, and we could see the South American's dressed in their light and palm beach clothes and bamboo hats, darting from place to place on the ships. In short, everything seemed to be as beautiful as nature could make it; and life seemed to be everlasting happiness. About 9 a. m., we docked, and after being inspected by the doctors and police inspectors, we were allowed to go ashore and real glad we were, for after sixteen days and nights on water with no sight of land or a living being save those on our ship, one can imagine how land-sick we were. We were at once surrounded by a mass of curious people, some desirous of taking our baggage, some of taking us to hotels, and some out of mere curiosity. We soon found interpreters whom we engaged, and we were off in automobiles to hotels. You can imagine our feelings, being a foreign country and people so much different from ours in ways and actions, yet as courteous as they could be. We were surprised to find that the South Americans were so mixed as to race. There is absolutely no color line. The native Brazilians are mixed Spanish, Portuguese, and Indians. Therefore some are dark, some bright and some very fair; yet they all have beautiful hair. They termed us as Americans from the North and never referred to us as Negroes. We stayed at hotels wherever we pleased, mixed with all classes and color of people. Their churches are Catholic; all attend the same churches and schools. The Government officials, street car motormen and conductors and police officials are all mixed. It was a common sight to see bright and dark children being led by the same parents, they being the same color as the children. Their houses for the most part are kept very neat, yet their hygienic conditions are not up to North America. The streets are kept clean, and the cities are beautiful with parks and monuments, in the parks are all varieties of birds and animals. Screen doors and sewerage systems being somewhat behind ours, yet they appear to be as healthy as any other people. Their climate is very hot the year round, while the nights are cool enough for light covering in most parts. The public schools are not on a par with North America's, and if one desires a higher education he or she must pay for it. The country is full of resources. Fruits and vegetables of all kinds grow the year round without much cultivation; coffee, sugar and rubber in abundance. In fact, it is so easy for the people to live on fruits until the poorer class becomes lazy and never amounts to much in life. There are thousands of acres of fertile land uncultivated. Great forests of mahogany wood and all kinds of woods, as well as iron ore that could be developed and shipped to North America and other countries. We had the privilege of visiting the Minister of Agriculture, and although he was quite busy with representatives from different countries, we were at once shown into his private office which was magnificently furnished. After about a half hour consultation, he took us to other parts of the Government Building, where we were shown South America's products, namely: eleven different grades of sugar, different kinds of wood, as mahogany, maple and several other kinds; iron ore, rubber trees, coffee trees, diamonds and various other resources. Their cattle are killed and eaten the same day, so they have very little use for ice, except to keep their favorite drink (beer) cold. They are the most affectionate people I have ever seen; men and women, dark or white, pat each other on the back when parting. In fact, life seems to be one of continued enjoyment for all. The higher class Brazilian is very desirous of colored North Americans settling in Brazil. They look upon the North American Negro as being far advanced in civilization and intelligence; hence they believe that his citizenship would be an asset to their country. On the other hand, they are not desirous of white immigration, because they believe they would try to consume all of their resources and control the country. The Government offers every inducement to immigrants desiring to settle in Brazil. If one desires to venture out in agriculture or cattle raising, the government will furnish the land and implements for same, transportation from any part of the country to place desired for settlement, under an agreement that payment begins three years from date of contract, at which time settlers have their option of buying the land or paying a yearly per cent of profit made. They prefer groups of five to ten each constituting a family. When requested your steamer fare will be refunded. A person, seven persons with some capital could invest in any business, and especially exports, and in a few years accumulate a fortune. Since the war the Germans are flocking there in large numbers, but are in a colony to themselves. So the Negro needs to wake up and get busy, while the Golden Harvest is yet in its embryonic stage. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES (Furnished by Headquarters, National Negro Business League, Washington, D. C.) Several business men of Haiti are planning to attend the next annual session of the National Negro Business League, which meets in Athanta, Ga., August 17th, 18th, 19th, 1921, for the purpose of presenting certain plans which will result in keeping the Negro business men of America informed concerning business opportunities in Haiti. One Haitian business merchant would change the name of the American Organization to that of the International Negro Business League. The following is the opinion of a member of the National Negro Business League who is giving close study to present day economic conditions in this country: "It is a mistake to attempt to stop doing business during these stringent times. All of the business men have got to keep on doing business. It would be very unfair and a greater mistake to cut down to the last word. Of course economy is always the proper thing to practice but the wholesale lopping off of every expense will spell ruin for many. If you live you must let live. The profits that so many business men have shared during the war should be used to some small extent during the re-adjustment moments." --- Planters' Association Is Organized The farmers of Demopolis, Aa. have organized the "Black Belt Marketing Association." The purpose of the organization is to get better market for colored producers. * * * The fact that a new administration is coming in power may or may not be responsible for the sudden and unparalleled boom that the Negro business has taken in Washington. Within the past six months at least a dozen large Negro enterprises have come into existence, foremost among them being a commercial bank to be known as the Prudential Commercial and Savings Bank to be capitalized at $100,000.00. Temporary offices have been opened at 1320 Yout Street, northwest. The officers are: John R. Hawkins, president; Henry P. Shaugher, vice-president; R. H. Rutherford, treasurer; C. W. Banton, secretary. * * * Charters recently have been granted for two new local Negro business leagues—one in Reidsville, N. C., and one in Providence, R. I. * * * The Southern Aid Society has gone into its new building which was recently completed at the corner of 7th and T streets, northwest, Washington, D.C. The building is a five-story structure with a theatre occupying the first floor. On the second floor are the offices of the Southern Aid Society. The remainder of the handsome structure is fitted up for professional and business offices. Sixty-five young women clerks and stenographers of Atlanta, Ga., met at the Atlanta Urban House and organized the Business Women's Association. The association will have for its purpose the development of greater efficiency among the colored business women of Atlanta.

LAURENCE WARING, Clerk J. K. Larson, d. q. 1822 By A. M. Brown, D. C. The Attucks Theatre is delighted to bring beautiful and talented Blanche Sweet before the public again in her newest picture, a seven part Special Pathe Feature, entitled "A Woman Of Pleasure." It will be shown for two days commencing Wednesday. After a long retirement necessitated by a nervous breakdown, Miss Sweet came back to the screen recently, more fascinating and lovely than ever, in "The Unpardonable Sin." Then Jesse D. Hampton induced her to autograph a contract calling for her services as the center of attraction in pictures with stories specially selected for her. "A Woman Of Pleasure" is the first offering of The Blanche Sweet Productions. James Willard's celebrated English melodrama that ran for three seasons at the Adelphi Theatre, London, supplied the story of "A Woman Of Pleasure," which has been scenarioized by George Elwood Jenks. The action takes place along the English coast and in British South Africa, where a Zulu uprising furnishes lots of thrills. The story touches upon the eternally interesting eternal triangle. Wheeler Oakman, Wilfred Lucas, Wesley Barry and Spotiswoode Aitken are prominently cast. In the early scenes of the picture she plays the part of a poor school teacher in an English fishing village. She marries a wealthy landowner who has vast mining interests in South Africa. She marries him because she craves luxury and pleasure; he marries her because the law does not permit a wife to testify against her husband and she had been the only witness to a crime he committed. From the beautiful Carlingforth Estate, where the little school teacher is at last enthroned as a woman of pleasure, the action changes to South Africa and the three principal characters—the man and wife not loving each other and the other man, in love with the wife, are suddenly playing dangerous parts in a Zulu uprising. The film comes to a swift and thrilling climax, bringing happiness to the deserving. CARLISLE DEFEATS HAMPTON F. A. Wilson. Hampton, Va., Jan. 14.—The Carlisle Club of Washington, D. C., brought forth the fastest basketball team seen here for years. The "Seasiders" were in great form and the visitors found things very interesting for them. The "Seasiders" started the game by getting a five-point lead. Early in the game the score began to see-saw, and everyone had his share of excitement. McLaren and Bradby were in excellent form, and were always on time to send a bit of thrill through the veins of the "Seaside" well-wishers. ors were one point in the lead, with one minute to play, when Bradby came up with a perfect shot and put the Hampton boys in lead. Before the storm of cheers could die away, Turner turned the trick by putting in one for the visitors on the last tick of the pitch. The play was very sensi- tional. The game ended with Carlisle one point in the lead. The line-up: Hampton Carlisle McLaren L.F. Barbour Long R.F. Glimmore Bradby, Capt. C. Turner Jones L.G. Taylor Gunn R.G. Robinson Derrick Business School Has Special Offer On The attention of our readers is called to the unusual offer made by the Derrick Business School of Philadelphia. Southern business men have found the Derrick Business School to be able to send for stenographers and just the place to send their untrained clerks and assistants to be prepared quickly and thoroughly to fill positions either as efficient stenographers or secretaries or as director of the business school, indicating that Southern girls are more alive to business needs and requirements—more anxious for a course—than their Northern sisters, but are placed at the disadvantage of additional expense for railroad travel. The school decided that they will until January 10th, offer a very special inducement to all Southern students desiring to take this wonderful Boyd's 30-Day System of Shortend and Typewriting, or bookkeeping, Office Practice and Filling. The school is truly remarkable and the institution has become a national one. The Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N. C., Savannah Wage Earner's Savings Bank, Tidewater Bank and many other companies are most young people to the school, paying their tuition so that they could return to fill high-skilled positions after six to ten weeks of study. For those who wish lodgings, comfortable dictionaries and all conveniences are right in the school. A coupon will be found on page , which when sent to the school will cause explanatory booklet and recitation blank to be sent to us. We will send the booklet and one readers will do well to accept it. MIDWAY SERVICE STATION AH Kinds of Homemade Accessories General Repairs JAMES T. BAILEY, Prop. 187 E. Bata Street NORFOLK, VA "BROKEN BLOSSOMS" A GRIFFITH MASTERPIECE AT THE ATTUCKS NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Theatre Goers of Tidewater Should not Miss This Wonderful Super-Production of D. W. Griffith Where All Elements of Excitement and Adventure are Combined to Make It the Greatest Picture Yet Produced Proposed New Base Ball League To Have Colored Teams Fully Represented Of the extraordinary interest, not only to lovers of the motion picture, but likewise of all who appreciate the highest in art in its various manifestations, is the announcement of the Attucks Theatre that it has secured David Wark Griffith's superb screen creation, "Broken Blossoms," to be shown Friday and Saturday. Never has a motion picture been accorded a reception comparable to the triumph that has followed every showing of this production. Newspapers have devoted column after column to its beauties and wonders. Everywhere its success has been instantaneous and it is safe to say that in bringing "Broken Blossoms" to our city, the management of the Attucks Theatre has to its credit the biggest accomplishment in artistic entertainmen that we have yet enjoyed. Mr. Griffith, it will be remembered, together with Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks, early in 1919 organized United Artists Corporation—popularly known as "The Big Four"—for the making and marketing of their own productions. It is through this organization that "Broken Blossoms" is being placed in the theatres of the country. The story of "Broken Blossoms" Mr. Griffith adapted from a tale by Thomas Barke called "The Chink and the Child", which is part of that author's famous volume "Limehouse Nights." Around this story, and we speak from the opinions of dramatic critics the country over, Mr. Griffith has built the most alluring, yet pitiful, beautiful, yet tragic love story ever filmed. It become habit, almost, to look upon a Griffith production as something more than a motion picture, yet even the most ardent admirers of the art of this master of the films did not dream of the wonders (that he would reveal in "Broken Blossoms." And of acting, let a word be added, Lillian Gish as "The Girl" has reached a height of dramatic interpretation the like of which has never been seen on the screen before. This little artist has labored faithfully, steadily, with an understanding marvelous in one so young, and now she comes into her full glory in "Broken Blossoms." "The Chink" is played by Richard Barthelmess and to his work the critics have paid high tributes likewise. To the telling of the love story of "Broken Blossoms," it is said that both Miss Gish and Mr. Barthelmess have brought a never-to-be-forgotten artistry. Donald Cris plays the part The following article was sent out last week by G. H. Lawson, of Boston, who is now contemplating starting a new league. It is the first venture of its kind to ever recognize the colored ball players: New York, Jan. 13.—George Herman Lawson, president of the recently incorporated Continental Baseball Association, was here inspecting park sites for the new league clubs which he hopes to install in or near this city. He said that during his present trip, which will take him as far south as Richmond, he expects to place the state franchises for New York, New Jersey and Maryland. The promoter and executive of the new "outlaw" league said that three of the eight franchises for the eight-club league had been granted, as follows: Indiana, with the state club playing at Indianapolis; Massachusetts, playing at Boston; Ontario, playing at Toronto. The New Jersey State franchise was practically clinched for Canden. Lawson stated. Suggests Negro Teams. In connection with the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts franchises, Lawson stated that the installation of colored or Cuban clubs. He pointed out that the Negro population of Boston and Philadelphia formed a large percentage of the city population, and Elizabeth City, N. C. (F. W. M. Butler) Mrs. Phyllis Jones, of Portsmouth, Va., visited Mr. and Mrs. Augustus Whitehurst in Body Rond, last week. Mr. James Norfleet died at his home in Brown street last week, after a lingering illness. He was buried from the home Wednesday, January 5th. He was a member of the B. P. O. of Elks. S. J. Walson, undertaker. The Phyllis Wheatley Court is very grateful to White Stone Lodge, K. of P., for a donation of $10.00, also to Dr. E. L. Hoffler, for $10.00 for their Christmas charity fund. Through this medium we added much comfort to the unfortunate, of cheer to the sick on Christmas eve. Mrs. Mary E. B. Poole, chairman. Bank Elects Officers for 1921 The Albemarle Bank of Elizabeth City held its annual stockholders and directors meeting in the directors' room of the bank, Thursday, January 6, 1921. The meeting was enthusiastic from beginning to end. This bank is less than six months old, yet of "Battling Burrows," the brute on of "fatherhood has been forced, and his portrayal of a difficult role with rare talent and strength, completes the triangle of chief characters in the story. "Broken Blossoms" should prove the crowning achievement in the splendid gallery of film presentations that we have enjoyed at the Atuteks. A special program has been prepared, including the music which Mr. Griffith personally arranged and some of which he composed. All in all, we look forward with keen anticipation to the Attucks' presentation of the Griffith masterpiece, for a film that has been so sensationally successful elsewhere is assured of more than a hearty welcome. What The Press 'has to say about "Broken Blossoms" New York Tribune "Broken Blossoms," which opened at George M. Cohen's Theatre last night, is the most beautiful motion picture we ever have seen or ever expect to see. For the last two years we have seen at least one picture a day and yet, last night, we sat on the edge of our seat, one hand grasping the arm and the other crushing a wet handkerchief and trembled and grew hysterical over what we saw before us. While we laways have been devoted to the pictures, we never really liked them nearly so well as the spoken drama, but surely "Broken Blossoms" could never be done so appealingly in any other medium. New York Morning Telegraph True "Broken Blossons" had a colorful and exotic setting of cherry blossons, soft and oriental music and delicate odors of incense in the air to appeal to the esthetic sense, but if the stage had been bare and the decorations absent, not one whit of the beauty of the picture would have been lost. Such art, so real one can only think of the classics and of the masterly and of the masterly paintings remembered through the ages as the best work of a master who labors to leave a fitting monument to express his art New York Times A screen tragedy—not a movie melodrama with an unhappy ending—but a sincere human tragedy—that is what D. W. Griffith has had the courage and the capacity to produce in "Broken Blossoms," which opened his repertory season a the George M. Cohan Theatre last night. Mr. Griffith chose a tragic story of impossible love, love impossibly in this world of that there were at least 100 baseball players of color in this country who equaled in playing skill the best average of the major leagues and who, although they are citizens of the country, were barred from playing in either the major or minor leagues under present conditions. Among the sites to be inspected in this vicinity were the former Federal League park, the National Park, Lawson said it was not the intention to build new parks this season where former parks were available, and that the Continental League would purchase parks and ball clubs outright if they were available. After the new league is established, he said, he favored the plan of recruiting new players entirely within the limits of the state represented by the club in that the team by the state organization instead of a collection of baseball players from all sections of the country. Buffalo May Get Franchise. If a ball park is not available in Brooklyn, a site in Buffalo will be next considered, and it is possible that the various state teams may play in various cities of the state from time to time. The New York state franchise is reported to be held under option by a syndicate of local theatrical men, whose identity will be disclosed at the first schedule meeting of the league, to be held in this city on January 31. notwithstanding the set back to farmers on account of low prevailing prices in products, etc., the report of Cashier Holland showed the bank's resources to have reached the $90,000 mark. Mr. J. S. Jones, organizer and director of said bank, also secretary and treasurer of the Tidewater Bank of Norfolk, Va., was present and delighted the stockholders by an encouraging talk. The directors of the bank, as a mark of appreciation presented Mr. Jones a handsome silver service. The presentation was made by Rev. C. O. Mitchell, of Gatesville, member of the board of directors, in well-chosen language. The following directors were elected by the board: L. D. Overton, J. S. Jones, L. S. Wescott, Mrs. M. E. Sylvester Seymour, S. D. McRae, Rev. C. M. Cartwright, Truxton Sykes, T. W. Nowble, S. H. Jenkins, Dr. F. C. Cook, W. E. Simpson, J. B. Elliott, Spencer Elliott, J. Tons. Lamb, W. H. Holley, Levi C Brown, W. B. Sharpe, P. B. Young, C. O. Mitchell, W. T. Phifer, J. M. Harney, Rev. R. R. Cartwright, Geo E. Jones, Officers for 1921: Dr. E. passions and prejudices and brutal forces; he absorbed it in its full meaning, recast it in his mind pictorially, translated it from the written words of the author into the scenes and action of a photoplay, added what was needed to make it live in pictures, left out what pictures could not have adequately expressed—and "Broken Blossoms" came to the screen, a masterpiece in moving pictures. New York Herald Out of Thomas Burke's "Limehouse Nights," D. W. Griffith has evolved a little sonnet of sorrows which he presented in George M. Cohan's Theatre last night in the form of a motion picture. "Broken Blossoms," Mr. Griffith calls it, and the name seemed pathetically appropriate. Mr. Griffith should think of a new name for his work along with the new synonym for the words "photo play," because his productions are so different from those of other directors that they require a separate classification. New York Evening Mail The slums of London, the slums familiar to many through the word pictures in Thomas Burke's "Limestone Nights" supply the background for D. W. Griffith's "latest photoplay achievement" "Broken Blossoms," revealed to the public last night at the George M. Cohen Theatre. Specifically Mr. Griffith has gone to Mr. Burke's "The Chink and the Child" for the theme of his story. Those who have read the story will recall its tragedy, the poignant sorrow, and the fleeting happiness that are the lot of its Chinaman hero and its cockey heroine. These Mr. Griffith has not only translated in slims of the photoplay; he has given them more reality, more adequate expression than could have been found in any other form of stage production. New York Journal of Commerce D. W. Griffith opened his motion picture repertoire season at the George M. Colman Theatre Tuesday night with "Broken Blossoms," and he set a new mark at which motion picture producers may shoot. In this picture he has even outdone D. W. Griffith. He always has been known as an artistic director, yet in this picture he does things that formerly have been thought impossible on the screen. He has given us the most beautiful, the most artistic and at the same time, one of the saudest pictures ever seen. "Broken Blossoms" is an artistic tragedy, and it is a great relief to find one producer who does not believe that the usual happy ending is necessary. Lawson intimated that the Continental League would sign desirable players without regard to their former league affiliations, except that all major league players involved in the recent expose in Chicago were automatically buryed. There will not be any limit to the number of players a club can carry and the contracts will have no reserve clause. A player will be signed for one full playing season and at the end of this contract will become a free agent again. Sooke, Union, Membership Application has been made, according to Lawson, for an American Federation of Labor charter for each club, the players thus becoming unionized and on a par with organized skilled labor. The president of the new league said that while the Continental League had been incorporated less than two weeks, 50 per cent of the franchise had been placed, $75,000 subscribed, several hundred management made with umpires for the coming season. He refused to give the names of the players signed, but said that they were from big league clubs, and that others were in line for berths in the new circuit. The effect this organization will have on the recently organized National League could not be learned, as we have no word from Mr. Andrew Rube Foster or any of the other officials. L.
