SERIOUS RACE TROUBLE IN NORTH GEORGIA Farmers Being Driven Violently From Their Homes and Land—Hand of Ku Klux Klan Alleged To Be Behind Trouble Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 17, 1921 Charging intimidation of race citizens by whites of Gwinnett county, five offdavits have been placed in the hands of Governor Hugh M. Dorsey by prominent colored men of Rockbridge district, Gwinnett. Similar efforts to run out all people of color have been manifested in Hall, Lumpkin, White, Milton and Meriwether counties during the last two weeks. Wrongs are being perpetrated against colored farmers in Georgia that "run all the gainut from the moanest of petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder," United States strict Attorney Hooper Alexander larod in a statement here in contion with announcing service of image indictments against whiteidents of Henry County. Mr. Alexander indicated that Fed. officers will begin a State-wide estimation of the situation. Comparatively little effort is beamed by the proper officers to end use conditions," the district attorney said. "In a large proportion of the seven judicial processes are issued by magistrates that are used in the most shameless manner in the aid of crimes, and the attendant circumstances are such as should call for indictment for malpractice. Cases have occurred in which there is the gravest reason to fear that other officers of the law have been active participants, in the gravest kind of wrongs. The things of which I speak run all the gamut from the meanest of petty cheating to deliberate and plotted murder. Ninety-nine per cent of our people would utterly deplore and condemn what is going on, but something more is demanded of a civilized people and their Government than mere sentiment. If the people of the State permit the continuance of conditions that now prevail, sooner or later, and in some way, we will suffer a dreadful retrialization." The peonage indictments were ordered served on Erwin Morris, well-do farmer, and two of his tenants, all three of whom are in jail at Jonesboro, according to the district attorney's office, in connection with the killing of a colored man. Advices from Sheriff Garner at Lawrenceville Saturday night were to the effect that while he did not expect further trouble he was prepared at a moments notice to give full protection to the race citizens in the Rockbridge district. Following receipt of a telegram from Governor Dorsey, the sheriff stated, he had sent two automobiles filled with men to the Rockbridge section but finding conditions were quiet they had returned to Lawrenceville. The sheriff had arranged with representatives in the district to notify him at once in case there should be an outbreak, in which event he is prepared to put deputies on the scene in short order. The Atlanta Constitution sent a special reporter to counties where the trouble is going on and he reported the following situation: As one drives north along the road from Gainesville to Clermont and Norfolk Journal and Guide A.

On Thursday, January 27th, 7:30 p.m., Presbytery will hold a popular meeting and the following speakers will appear on the program: Rev. James E. James, Henderson Normal Institute, Henderson, N. C., "The Need of Christian Education Today"; Mr. James Beck, of Knoxville, Teen; "The Need of the Family Altar Today"; Dr. R. W. McGranahan, "The Sacredness of the New World Movement Pledge". The general public is welcome to all sessions and especially to this popular meeting. Brookton, signs of the recent interracial disturbances become evident soon after the Chattahoochee has been crossed. On the right of the road a lone rock chimney stands amid blackened ruins and nearby the charred remnants of a burn fire. A mile further on an old stove rises above a pile of stones which once formed the foundations of a little church and school. Throughout this section a colored face is a rare sight on the roads. Almost twelve months ago a man in Quillian's militia district stole a washpot and as a result certain white citizens of Hall county have burned and shot-up colored churches, schools and homes, and driven out more than three hundred people rendering it necessary for business concerns and farms to be operated under armed guards throughout the greater portion of the year. Governor Hugh M. Dorsey first took an active hand to break up the lawlessness on January 8, when he appointed a special State detective to run down the offenders. Two arrests have resulted from this move, and Adjutant General Nash, with his staff, is now on the ground conducting a special investigation at the order of the governor. The racial unrest has spread from district to district until it now extends into Lumpkin and White counties as well as Hall. Farmers are crippled and industrial concerns are seriously handicapped as a result of the labor shortage. Friction Is Felt Friction is now being felt in Gainesville, where two secret meetings of unknown men have been held for the purpose of running all colored people out of that city. Another meeting was anticipated and Governor Dorsey has two special representatives in town to frustrate any intimidation of colored citizens. Gainesville, Ga., according to the 1910 census report had a population of 5,925, of which one-half was colored. The racial trouble had its beginning in February of 1920, when D. Turner Quillian, former county commissioner and the largest landholder of Hull county, removed a colored boy from his place for stealing chickens. The discharged boy sought work on a nearby plantation and was given a tenant's place. A white tenant had shortly before been hired for this same position, but, due to subsequent misunderstandings with the landlord, was supplanted by the boy. As soon as he moved into his house, a few whites, led by this rejected tenant, surrounded the frame dwelling late one night and proceeded to "shoot it up until it was perforated" and the man's wife was wounded. This incident led to repetitions of such occurrences throughout the county. It is difficult to account for the spread of lawfulness, for no cause can be found. Solicitor General J. G. Collins declares that there have been absolutely no crimes committed by the colored citizens. D. Turner Quillian states that there has not been a colored man arrested in that district for more than a year. Sheriff Will Crow, of Hall county, said that no crime has ever been attributed to colored citizens in the past twelve months. The overwhelming evidence of the most prominent citizens of Hall is to the effect that crime played no part in the sporadic outbreaks of lawlessness which have occurred for the last twelve months. Mr. Quillian diagnoses the situation as the logical result of "corn liquor, too much prosperity and racial prejudice." Citizens of Dawson, Forsyth and Hall counties interviewed in Gainesville recently stated that the real cause for the intimidation and running away of colored people in the three counties was the desire of white (Continued on page 4) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, JANUARY 22, 1921 First United Presbyterian Church and its Pastor, Rev.

Retired $11,400 Worth of Stock During Year The fifteenth stockholders' annual meeting of the Norfolk Home Building and Loan Association, Inc., was held at the building of the Young Men's Christian Association Tuesday evening, January 11th. The meeting room on the second floor was crowded with stockholders of men and women who came from all parts of the city, from Lambert's Point, Titus Town, Borkley, Portsmouth and Norfolk County. President Samuel L. Tucker presided. The most interesting features of the meeting were the annual reports made by the secretary, Mr. C. C. Dogan, and treasurer, Mr. E. M. Canaday. The reports showed that a greater volume of business was done in the year 1920 than in any previous year in the history of the association, that a large number of persons bought their homes by the financial assistance of the Association, and that $11,400.00 was paid out to persons who had carried their stock to maturity. Total receipts for the year, $61,847.05; assets, $82,782.73. Stock profits, $0,135.73. Several addresses were made by stockholders commending the officers and directors for the successful management of the association, and a motion to make the effort to carry the total assets beyond the $100,000.00 mark was unanimously carried. The following directors were elected for the year 1921: E. M. Canaday, C. C. Dogan, Jas. H. Epperson, M. R. Jackson, Geo. R. Moore, J. R. W. Perry, Wm. M. Reid, Walter Smith, Sam'l L. Tucker, C. J. Watkins, P. B. Young. This association has the record of maturing its stock earlier than any other company of its kind in the State. Their books are now open for subscription. It is also one of the most progressive of its kind in the country.

Bethel street, Hagerstown, Md., died Thursday, January 13th, at 11:30, in the morning. The funeral took place at Payne Memorial church, Baltimore, Md., Monday, January 17th. Rev. Johnson is well known in Norfolk, having pastored St. John's A. M. E. church here for several years. C. C. DOGAN Secretary Norfolk Home B. & L. Association Mrs. Celia Ford Young Succumbs To Severe Illness To Severe Illness Kenbridge, Va., Jan. 18.—The funeral of Mrs. Colin Ford-Young, wife of Mr. W. S. Young, cashier of the People's Bank of this city, was conducted today from the Kenbridge Baptist church with the ritualistic ceremony of the Episcopal church performed by Rev. Mr. Cecil Kent, assisted by Rev. Mr. Bagley. Her remains were entered in the Crawley Cemetery. The services were attended by a large host of friends who seemed visibly affected at the untimely demise of this good woman. Many floral tributes and telegrams and letters of sympathy from far and near attested the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Mrs. Young's illness was of short duration. She contracted pneumonia after the birth of a baby boy, Charles Cecil Young, and failed to respond to treatment rendered her by attending physicians and those surrounding her who stood by and worked diligently until the end came. She was a native of South Carolina, was educated at the St. Augustine's School, Raleigh, N. C., and was married to her husband in the year of 1907. She was the faithful and devoted mother of eight children, all of whom survive her, and was a consecrated Christian, having joined the Episcopal Church during her early life. All through her life ran that inspiration. Even in the midst of her terrible agony she bore her suffering with rare patience and fortitude. She was conscious until the end and just before the end came she called the members of her fireside around her and bade them follow the examples of her life—to so live that their living might result in good and not evil—that their lives might be an inspiration to other lives whom they might touch. Messrs. P. B. Young and H. C. Young, of Norfolk, brothers of the husband of the deceased, and their wives were among those present from out-of-town in attendance upon the funeral and to console the members of the family in their bereavement. Dr. Moton On Tour (By The Associated Negro Press) (Ty by the Raskey Institute Press) Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Jan. 17.—In response to the many invitations of colored and white citizens of Middle Western States, Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute and president of the National Negro Business League will make a speech-making tour of that section early in the month of February. On his itinerary Dr. Moton will deliver addresses in some of the principal cities of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. JUDGE WM. H. TRAVELERS AID WORKERS HARRISON TO ASK COMMUNITY TO SPEAK HERE SUPPORT THEIR CAUSE Noted Orator to be Principal Speaker at the Y.M.C.A.'s 33rd Annual Celebration The Association management has gone to considerable expense to secure Judge Harrison to address the citizens of Norfolk at a monster mass meeting at the Attucks Theatre next Sunday afternoon, January 23, at 3:30 p.m. It is quite fitting at this time of the year, when we are all resolving to do our best to have a man coming who can generate such information as Judge Harrison usually brings. Both the people of Norfolk and Portsmouth are enthusiastic about this great orator's return, and it is thought every seat will be taken long before the program starts. Please have been reserved on the stage for business and professional men. Music will be furnished by the orchestra and special soloists. Judge Harrison comes to us after touring the State of North Carolina, where he has spoken to tremendous audiences upon every occasion. His subject will be "Our Day in Court." At this time the Y. M. C. A. in Norfolk celebrates its thirty-third anniversary, and the general committee is inspiring to make it the most enthusiastic and helpful meeting in the history of the work. Much interest was shown in the first lobby meeting of the year last Sunday. Mr. M. E. Diags showed much efficiency in handling the subject, "Patriotism." The discussion that followed was intensely interesting. Mr. Clark at the piano assisted us with the music. The night school class is demonstrating splendid interest, which indicates fine prospect for that work this year.

TO CELEBRATE FOUNDER'S DAY Dr. James Hardy Dillard, Leading Southern Educator, Will Deliver Address on General Armstrong January 30th To Be Day of Observance Hampton, Va., Jan. 20.—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, has announced that the principal address at the celebration of Founder's Day, to be held on January 30th, in memory of Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, will be given by Dr. James Hardy Dillard, of Charlotte, Va., who is the president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, member of the General Education Board, and rector of William and Mary College. "Dr. Dillard," says the Southern Workman, which is the official magazine published by Hampton Institute, "has done more than perhaps any other Southern man to set forces in motion tending to bring about better race relations. It was he who was the prime mover in forming the Southern University Race Commission and he was also active in the organization of the Commission on Inter-racial Cooperation and the Southern Publicity Committee." 54,047 Race People in Richmond Washington, Jan. 18.—The colored population of Richmond, Va., was announced recently by the census bureau as 54,047, an increase of 7,314, or 15.7 per cent. The white population is 117,555, an increase of 36,686, or 45.4 per cent, and all others 55. Norfolk Was The First City To Inaugurate This Work In The South. Has Perfomed Most Creditable Work. In the summer of 1005, a number of Christian women in New York City, who were conducting a home for the protection of colored girls, known as "White Rose", made a request of the colored ministers of Norfolk to find a woman who would be willing to meet the boats and trains entering Norfolk, to direct and protect girls and women traveling to and from the North and South, as they felt Norfolk a strategic MRS. HATTIE PROCTOR protective point. Through the efforts of Rev. Wm. A. Moss, deceased, Mrs. Flattie A. V. Proctor was secured and on August, 15, 1905, commanded her work at the Old Dominion S. S. dock, of safeguarding colored girls and women to their destinations in the city and passing the strangers through Norfolk in safety. The mission was begun at this time and for six years Travelers Aid in Norfolk was done under these auspices; then the Urban League in New York fostered the movement until June, 1919, the Norfolk Travelers Aid Society took it over. The work has grown until now many hundred young women and girls are each year saved from lives of degradation and shame, through these protective links. An Appeal Travelers Aid work is not a white work nor a colored work, but a work for humanity. Mrs. Prector, the local worker, conceived this idea years ago, even before it was conceded us such by the National organization, but we have been permitted to have a colored division of the Norfolk branch in order that we might have authority to bring about an awakening—a realization that we are human like other folk, and that we have daughters like other people, and that they are not exempt from temptations, and pit falls any more than other girls; and to realize that our girls are protected just as other girls; and friends, why should we not contribute toward this fund that not only enables Mrs. Prector to remain at work, but the fund that is protecting our own flesh and blood? Norfolk being the export city of the Atlantic Seaboard and the gateway to the North and South, affords a wonderful opportunity for us to do something worth while. If we don't protect strangers within our gates we are less than human, and don't deserve to live in such a thrifty and cosmopolitan city. This appeal is to every one who has red blood flowing through his veins, and who walks naturally on two legs. Will you help us? Yes, we know you will. Contributions may be made at the Journal and Guide Office, or to Dr. F. Trig, chairman of the board. Saved From Degradation An attractive young girl of culture was being lured by a middle-aged white man to a South Carolina city to a life of shame, when the Travelers Aid not only intercepted, took that young girl home at mid-night and stood back of her until she had been assimilated into proper associations in Norfolk and had joined a church. The white man in the case lost his position he had held over twenty years. Under the promise of medical treatment, which she badly needed, a white man was found making arrangements with a taxi man to carry this young colored woman to a questionable place. Not only was the girl saved, but her brother located in Welden, and "Fanny" was sent on to him. The last N. & W. train one night brought in an aged father, his two daughters and grandchild. They had just buried the wife and mother, and the daughters were taking their father home to the North with them. With only sufficient money for the trip they had not planned on the train being so late and remaining over in Norfolk. They grew frantic in learning that the station closed at night and that no one was allowed to remain. With love and sympathy these mourners were taken to a room that night by the Travelers Aid, breakfast was secured through sympathetic people, and they were called for and taken to the N. Y. P. & N., and put on their train for home, thankful indeed for the service that had been rendered in the "Master's name." A little girl 8 years old came on from New York to visit relatives. The Guide Quality PRINTING Brings Results ID WORKERS COMUNITY TO AT THEIR CAUSE City To Inaugurate This th. Has Perfomed itable Work telegram miscarried, she had no street address with her and the Travelers Aid had this little girl two days before those relatives were located. A little girl and boy were apprehended who were leaving Norfolk, running away to join a show, and were returned to their home. A young woman expressed her gratitude for the service Travelers Aid could give, as it intercepted in learning a strange man sending her to a questionable rooming place, and saw her safely at the Y. W. C. A. for the night. If you had left your Northern home with a young woman you supposed was a moral woman and your friend, wouldn't you have been glad of a friend who intercepted when she learned that arrangements had been made. Norfolk on your arrival with a man whom you had never seen or heard of, to take you out for a room. That is what happened to Mary, and being a good moral young woman she frankly told her companion she did not come to Norfolk for any such, while the man in the case lost his position he had held over twenty years. A. Bish A Pioneer Worker in a Pioneer Work in a Pioneer Field What Mrs. Hattie Proctor Has Done The subject of this sketch has had a wide career and has done as much for the general public as any one individual in our race. She is a graduate of Hampton Institute. After her graduation she might eight years in the public schools of Norfolk, and as a teacher she was in class A from every view point. Then Mrs. Proctor did the thing to which all women look forward as the calcination of their fondest desires and highest ambitions. She reared and educated a large family, practically all alone, because her husband died a few years after they were married. As a wife she was exemplary, and as a mother, a perfect model, being strong and firm, but at the same time, tender and loving. Three years after the death of her husband, Proctor began to do Travelers Air work, actuated by the realization of the fact that her own daughters, who were small then, would eventually have to make their own way in the world, and being ever mindful of the anres, pitfalls, and dangers to which young folks, and especially girls are subjected. Thus Travelers Aid became a part of this pioneer, who has since then devoted her whole life to it. As to compensation, this was a secondary thought to Mrs. Proctor, but after doing such wonderful work for such a long time gratis, compensation, as all other just and deserving things, finally came. Mrs. Proctor was just as earnest and energetic and maturing in her work when there was no pay as when she became compensated, and showed absolutely no difference to the travelers, regardless of race or condition. We are all born with some one or more talents, and all Norfolk has long since agreed that Mrs. Proctor discovered hers early in life, and has made, and is continuing to make good use of it. LIFE'S WHIRLPOOLS Why, of course, it might be your girl, Or my little girl as well. Who is lured down life's stream to its whirlpools, And held in its force and spell.

Stinson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, has been notified by Sheriff J. I. Lowry that part of the school property will be seized if notes past due are not paid at once. Principal Stinson has issued a call for assistance from friends of the institution, and states that the work will be greatly hindered if aid is not forthcoming. The school is in need of $3,500, he says. "Some of our white friends," he said Saturday, "who are charitably inclined toward education for the Negro masses are assured that now is an excellent opportunity for their assistance."

Smith, Brookfield Center, Conn., a Hampton senior, who last year scored 179 in the Otis Intelligence Test and who spoke on "The New-Era for Woman." "There was a time," said Andrew Terrell, "when the controlling power of the country lay in the hands of the capitalists. These capitalists used the laboring man as a tool to advance their personal attainments. As a result of this selfish motive the controlling power gradually slipped to the working people and during the past war the laboring people held the dominating power of this country. Today the laboring people have come to the point where there is no regard for the other fellow, and, as a result, the controlling power is gradually being taken from them. The man or group of people who fosters personal advancement and has no regard for the rights and privileges of the other fellow cannot hold very long the controlling power of any people. "A survey of the conditions of our people of the Southland and in the cities of the North shows us that our race needs leaders—men and women who will lose sight of self and work for the interest of mankind. A successful life is not measured by wealth or material things, but it is measured by the unselfish service that is rendered to humanity. During the war we had over three hundred thousand men of our race who were willing to give their lives for the cause of humanity. For a while we saw the ideal for which these men were glad to live and to die, but since the war has ended and men have returned to their different vocations, and the world is getting back on a normal basis, it seems as if the world has gone back to the old principle of 'every man for himself and every nation for itself.' As we read the daily papers we see the results of this principle. The social unrest that we have in the country is due, in a large measure, to self-interest. "The world must realize that there is something much finer in life than mere personal gain and pleasure. It must respect and honor the rights and privileges of the other fellow. If you read the annals of history, you will find that no nation or individual has succeeded and given to the world anything worth while that had for its aim selfish motives or ambition. "We cannot think of the men who have worked for the interest of our race without thinking of the unselfish service that has characterized their lives. The one thing that has written Dr. Booker T. Washington, Gen Samuel C. Armstrong, and Dr. Hollis B. Frissell's names in history is the unselfish service that they rendered to humanity, even in the face of obstacles and criticisms." Advancement of Colored Women "The heroic women of the years 1917-1921 will always stand out as shining examples," said Miss Smith, "because there never has been a time before in all history when women—colored and white alike—have banded together so efficiently for national service. Thus their true power of initiative, of resolution, of organization for a common purpose, and of enthusiastic response in a national crisis has been shown to full advantage. "Women have changed their attitude toward work. It is certainly regrettable that for a good many years women have avoided work of some kinds, refrained from pursuing honest occupations for fear of losing social prestige, and looked upon frailness of body as being a sign of delicacy and refinement. The Great War proved a blessing in bringing to light the 'new' women of higher efficiency and power. Women showed an eager desire to work; they put aside with contempt the mere self-satisfying pleasure hitherto so freely indulged in; they no longer tried to avoid肋 and worry, but even took up tasks which one would formerly have pronounced beyond their physical strength and entirely foreign to their nature. "In the case of the colored women, especially, the advance has been most remarkable and praiseworthy. With absolutely no precedent by which to be guided or inspired, the colored women—within the short period of 58 years—have risen from the despondency of illiteracy and superstition, from servile following and dependency, to a position where they may claim recognition as of national importance through their constructive work in such organizations as the American Red Cross, the Young Women's Christian Association, the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and the Women's Division of the Council of National Defense. "Who can measure the influence of Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernandis, a prominent organizer among social workers; of Dr. Sarah W. Brown, a physician of Washington, D. C., and a lecturer on social hygiene, under the Women's Division of the Council of National Defense; of Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, founder and superintendent of the Virginia Industrial School for Colored Girls, also organizer and president of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs—all Hampton graduates? "It is certainly a significant tribute to the colored woman's advance that she is being called upon more and more to voice her sentiments in conferences relating to questions of national importance.

Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 12—Paul Rayfield Johnson, a six-year-old Negro boy of this city, has taken an honorable place among Chicago's politest citizens. He is $50 the richer by reason of this fact, and "colored" Chicago is highly pleased with this latest honor that has come unsought to the race in this section. The Chicago TRIBUNE is awarding daily $50 prizes to the politest person discovered by its "Polite Editor." On the 3rd of January the editor ran across young Paul Rayfield Johnson. He had been traveling far and wide through the heightened streets of the city and had about given up his searching for the day when he ran into Paul at the corner of Wabash avenue and 35th street. The youthful Negro's politeness overwhelmed the editor. The story goes that he was "knocked cold" and that it took him several minutes to recover his equanimity under the stress of the very unusual circumstances of finding a member of the "culull" race the politest person of a hard day' travel and search. Paul Rayfield Johnson is wearing his honors easy and becoming an has promised to use the prize money in an earnest endeavor to start on the road of procuring a good education. His only relative in the city is a aged grandmother who promises to a the boy to carry out his intentions this particular. A considerable number of color citizens have evinced an interest the boy and there is a strong probability that he will be the center of well advised co-operation from members of the race whenever he starts his trip to the world of the knowled of things.

BATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1921 FERESMENT HARDING'S IN- AUGURATION TO BE SIMPLE ‘There was a general disposition on ‘the part of the Inauguration Commit- tee, composed of persons in private life and mostly persons of wealth and leiure, that the inauguration of Pres- ident Harding should be a grand and spectacular occasion, covering the week, with the Inaugural ball for cli- max. The Committee thought that the eccasion would be an unusual one and that it should bo so signalized. It will be one of the most far-reaching im results in the various history of the Republic. The question of expense was regarded as negligible. : But cheap and tight-chested mem- bers of Congress and editors of news- papers put up a great big howl about the expenses of the Inauguration pro- gram, and Mr. Harding very wisely called off the proposed Big Show, in the interest“of economy and to teach tha people thrift in these trying times, It may be best so, but the people feel mighty jubilant over the incoming of the Harding Administration and de- sired opportunity to display it during ‘inauguration week. KEEP AN ACCOUNT FOR WHAT IS EARNED AND SPENT Nery many persons, some of them very intelligent, imagine that they can keep in their minds a record of what they carn as income of investinents or wages of labor and the expenditure ef it, but they are badly mistaken. It ie hard to make them understand that they are mistaken. They may suceced at it for a season, but there will come a time when they will make & mistake too costly to be rectified. Persons who do not keep an account of what they carn und spend, never ‘kmow exactly where “they are at.” “They have to guess all of the time, .and guess work of all sorts is don- gerous and costly, Most people know this to be true by experience, which iia a very hard and exacting task- vmeaster. It matters not how small the amount a person carns may be, he whould keep a memorandum of it and -an itemized record of how he spends it. He will gave much by the process, and he will constantly strive to save more of what he carns hy being able from his memoramlum to review his itoms of purchase and eliminate those ho does not need or can get along without. The Special Information Service Bulletin of the Department of Labor for January 17, hns the following to aay about keeping necessary necounts: “In making a record of the farm business, the item of labor income can not be determined accurate- ly without some system of av- counting. Some farmers will re- quire accounls showing the amounts expended for labor, oth- ers on the amount paid for feed, and still others on the amount received for crops soll, A mem- orandum of such items will prove valuable when the time comes to ealeulate the year's business. ‘The matter of farm: secownive, evonlins Uo the speviwist= wha Raves stoi bebe piel fear fae ties United States Pepa tod Agreaiiaes, itor depentour ne.

THE JAPANESE QUESTION GkOWS ES USiINTSS There ave plenty of persuns im the United States wha imagine that these ‘ig no danger in the Japanese question, ‘and: that persons in this country con fide and jeer and antagonize Jar: nese -gepisations” in. all: directions without elog called to «accountsfor it: in. a csastic way. We wish that we could | regard the question from the habitus: Americen point of view, and we show! do so, if we did not know the Japanese character as well as we do. ‘The Japanese have not forgiven the United States for its arbitrary inter- ference, through President Roosevelt, in the settlement of the questions growing out of the Russo-Japanese war, at the Portsmouth peace confer- ence, the Jupanese believing this coun- try to be responsible for the final terms whidi denied any indemnity from the Russians, who wete respon- sible for the war. - The Jupanese believe that, indirectly rather than directly, the Uzited States was responsible for keeping ther out of active, participation in the World War, thel fear being that such active participation would entitle the Inp- anese to too much consideration in the ceuncils of the Peace Conference; they alsu believe the United States helped to keep the Japanese from securing by the Peace Conference the accep- tance of the Japanese contention for the acceptance of the principle of ra- vial equality in the policy of the League of Nations. These things are constant irritants in the minds of the Japanese people. The running issue of Japanese per- secution and adverse legislation in ‘California has been constantly as the Maunting of a red flag in the face of a ‘bulle ‘The whole matter could be ad- justed by Iesrislating against all im- ‘migration of aliens, as we have all of that sort we need now, and more. The question has arisen in ‘Texas, also. Japanese being driven out of points | where they desired to settle. It has come to light that a Japanese sentry, at Vladivostok, shot and killed Lieut. W. EL. Langdon, an enineer Jofficer of the American cruiser AL ‘bany, the officer. being shot in the back. Full details are lacking, but the incident is significant and dis- quieting, As a matter of act the United States dors not need any war with JJapan, and those who are fomenting it are dangerous persons, whether ‘they know what they are doing ot ‘are ignorant af it, This country needs ‘at lenst twenty years of peace to re- cover. from the drain of the World War, and it needs the friendship of ‘the Japanese in developing our com- ‘merce in the Far Bast. Tt is to be regretted from whatever angle it may be considered that the Japanese question should be allowed to row in ugliness. COST OF ENFORCING THE PROHIBITION LAW The trouble the suthoriti¢s have had in enforcing the Prohibition law should not be a matter of surprise. ‘There were.many interests concerned in the whiskey traffic, they are stitl interested in it, who would, naturally resist the enforcement of the law, be- cause it would destroy or preiudice their money values, while many mil- Hons of liquor addicts would resist the denial to them of their tipple. ‘The enforcement of the laws intended to make effective the Prohibition amend- ‘ment, in consequence, has been a very gostly and hazardous business for the olficers of the Taw. ‘The enemies of Prohibition lad a positive xet back in the discussion of the nutter of the necessary appro- priation to enforce the provisions of ‘the Volstead act, in the House of Re- preaentatives, last week, but those who Fione for proper enforcement of the [Prohibition laws will not be satisfied ‘that they are out of the woods unti adequate lexislation by Congress has yeen enacted to insure proper enforce- iment.

Long) There seems to be no end to the many subjects now claiming our at- tention in these, the most unsettled days of muny centuries, and yet there is one phase of our reconstruction und re-ndjustment period which none of us can well afford to ignore. | Neither as a nation nor an individual can we discard the great idea of THRIFT, if we hope to gather the great harvest of opportunity and prosperity which | the future scems to promise us, be- cause of our. unique, position in the| great world-struggle for economic and Political preference. But how can we. intelligently practice Thrift if we do not grasp its meaning? The first thought, then, arising in connection with this great subject would natural- ly suggest itself in the form of the following question: What Is Tehift? An intelligent answer to this ques- | tion Hemands that we ‘state. what THRIFT is NOT, as well as to em- phasize what it IS, and so we pause Rere to point out that THRIFT 1s nob Parsimony, Rightly speaking, par. simony is the habit of “excessive and unreasonable saving of money, simoly for the sake of saving.” Such'a habit, to say the least, is not a virtue and cannot be commended. — Neither. is ‘Thrift, miserliness. A” simple defini tion of miserliness may be set forth as nothing more nor leas than the practice of “denying one’s self arrl oth- ers af comforts and necessities of life for the mere pleasure of hoarding.” Viewed from this standpoint, miser- Hliness is less praiseworthy than par- :simony. | What, then, is Theift? Is it ine jdlustry?’ Is it'prudence? Is it econo- my? Is it frugality? It is neither of these alone, jbut embraces the com- bined virtues of them all. It has very fittingly been stated that “Industry earns, prudence plans, economy man- ages, frugality saves:” but THRIFT at onve earns, plans, manages, saves and wholesomely and profitably spends at a fitting time. Viewed from this exceedingly com- prehensive angle, America more than any other nation, and the Negro more ‘than any other ‘race needs this ad- /monition to Thrift, We are the most wasteful people in the world. Using what we throw away and allove to 10 to ruin, many a nation of Europe would build an empire. In the country ‘districts we have theusands of acres ‘of wasted land; on oun {ruit trees and ‘various other plants, there are to be found this very day hundreds of tons of ungathered: fruits, which have a great food value, millions of feet of ‘Umber are destroyed exch year by forest fires, which are allowed ta burn and rage almest unnoticed, and in the cities We find the wasted’ powers of thousands of strong men, whose ener- gies could well be applied to the -ro- duction of food and other materials. Ys there any wonder that the great centers of population are crowded with hungry children, mea and wo- men? THRIFT, and THRIFT alone will solve this’ great pioblem for America, and for Norfolk, and’ save ‘aur country from becoming the na- tional poor-house of the world. Examples of Thrift It is most natural, in discussing this very important subject, that we look about for some examples of ‘Thrift, with a view to helpfulness and (inspiration along the sume line. It is jhere fitting to state that Thrift has been the hed-rock of all great om- ‘pires. Every reader of history knows that Ue Roman Empire—sreat, pow- erful, dreaded and. far-reaching’ in. ins “Huenee and dominion-—was a child of [THRIFT, and the day when extrava- :zance, laxnuss, and folly impeached Thrift from her lofty throne, that day |the death knell of Rome waa sounded ‘and her great empire erumbled and ‘fell. | In Prassia we find another great ex- ample of “National Thrift.” "Prussia, v which through the strict observance of the laws of hrift, accumulated great | Stores and massed # big army, was the fore-tunner of the great German Em- pire, which only a few years ago defied ‘the ‘world and made great nations itremble, We also find many examples lof Thrift in our banks, insurance com- panies, churches, stares and other es. tablishments of ‘business in Norfolk, which have sprung up as it were aver night, Biol the world’s most porfect_ ant inspiring example of FURIE ie fount in deus (iris, who. thoash bein: We stat Gud Soar cnirtas ein day : toa SS e o .

For ten years the adjoining counties of Dawson and For- syth have been without Negroes. Two precincts in White county have also been “bled white.” Now the. wave is sweeping ruthlessly into Hall and Lumpkin counties, going on in Meri- wether and Milton counties. The economic results of this pecu- liar, madness are scrious. The story of the recurrence of “the black drive” is interesting. About December 20, 1920, an anon- ‘ymous letter from Atlanta was dis- tributed broadcast through the mails ito white citizens of this entire section jof the country: This letter was about as follows: | “Are you one hundred por cent | American? | “De you believe in ‘white su- ;Premacy’ in the South? | “Do you believe in the chastity of jour women and are you willing to (uphold it? \ : “Do you believe in separation of church and State? 1, “EC your oath were given coutd it | be, depended upon?” | These anonymous communications [were signed with three initials and a {Rost office box number of Atianta. | Ten Days To Get Out | ,,hbaut December 22, the posting of warnings to colored’ citizens were again found, They usually read. “Get out you damned nigger. We give you jten days to get South of the Chatta- jhoochee or have your house blown up.” These warnings were generally signed “Dawsonville.” The threats contained in some of ithe warnings have been so wild and jextreme that many of the receivers, jbefore leaving their homes, were jnfraid to drink grom their wells less the water might have been poisoned, |sccording to statements of department of justice representatives, | According to the statements of resi- dents of this seetion a night rarely passed without shooting along the roads and several houses belonging to colored were shot up. ; Mr. Quillian had told his tenants [to remain in their homes, when the first notices were received, promising to protect them. This he has done by the use of armed guards for eleven months. When the crops were made he told the tenants that all who wished to leave might do so, but that he would continue to protect any who might stay with him: All but five families had become: so intimidated that they immediately. pred South. ‘Edgar B, ‘Dandy, ‘an attorney. of Gainesville, placéan armed guard on his farm for’a' month. Wiley'Greery.a farmer of promi- nence near Clermont, did not send his tenants-away as soon as they were warned and as a result he also re- ceived a notice that he und all of his fmily would have to get out of Hall county. ‘Trenches Wero Dug On January 7% the million dolar ‘Morse Bros, Lumber company, with sheadquarters at Helen, White county, \Georsin, found notices posted und de- livered through the mails for all of their colored laborers.

Sy BOULIN, Pres. | Bae ere one dress, 5 Per Cent “he Serry & Ross Manufacturing Company, Inc. of New York, held a successful meeting Monday night at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church, at which time the President, H. S. Boulin, delivered an inspiring and masterly address. j Berry & Ross, Inc., opened their office here last August. Since then they, have covered this section with their products of colored dolls, overalls, raincoats, dresses and waists. The dolls have created favorable impres- sion wherever shown and have aroused racial consciousness as no other pro- duet of the race has. |_e. Boulin’s trip to this city was in Iconnection with the purchase st the three-story brick building adjacent to \the Attucks Theatre on the north, for ithe purpose of opening a department store. He said that owing to the un- {settled condition of the fabric markets and the readjustment that is: taking place in those markets, that the Com- pany deemed it unwise to purchase its stock for the store while the market jis yet declining. But as soon as the prirkets became normal, possibly. in | April, the store would open. ' Concerning Africa, he said, “The white man has always told the Nero is stay away from Africa because the inhabitants were savage and even can- libals who would cat you alive. I wauld rather take my chances of going Ito Africa and being enten alive by my jown calated people than to be roasted lalive by the mobocrats of Mississippi for Texas. ‘The white man has not re- ‘mained out. of Africa on that account, No, he has gone there and found dia- jmonds, gold, mahorany, palm oil, co- coa and other products and has waxed ‘fat and rich from the sale and profit ‘on them. Therefore, we have decided jto go there and take our chance, with our own people, and get palm oil, 1aa- thoxany, covoa and skins and increase our income ard trade with and for our js" people. We have three men there [row who are representing us and are securing products gwhich we are im- porting: into this country for the bene- fit of our stockholders. Mr. Dench, whom you all know so well will arrive there on the 23rd of this month and will possibly be over there until June.” He snid that this had been the larg- est and best year for the Company which enabled them to pay 5 per cent. to the stockholders of record on De- cember 15th, Several checks were given out at the mecting as a. nnmber of persons had availed themselves of the opportunity to purchase and pay for stock of fast growing concerns. The company maintins an office in the Attucks: Theatre building, with J. A.G. LuValle in charge.

Jan, 18—A double shooting and possibly murder occurred about noon today, when J. E. Bryan and Walter Garrett, prominent Worth county farmers, were shot by Ed. Smith, a Nezro tenant on the place of Garrett, four miles northeast of Sylvester, and near Shingler. It is probable that the shooting of both men will prove fatal. They were taken to a hospital at Albany. After the shooting Smith jumped into a wagon that was waiting to move him and left.

White, representing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Field Secretary of that Association, has appeared before the House Census Committee during its consideration of the Reapportionment Bill. The umbrage raised by the Southern Representatives of the committee was to be expected. In fact, when it was noted that Mr. White was in Washington in this connection, no doubt it was a matter of much speculation as to what alternatives would be resorted to by the committee's Southern representatives in order to refute the charges. Mr. White cited occurrences which happened in Florida during the recent election to substantiate his facts, and other conclusive evidence to show that Southern Congressional Representation was not only based on the actual population, but that in some localities the most dastardly and illegal methods were used to disfranchise the Negro ballot. The progress of the action to be taken by the House Census Committee was followed with interest; not only because of its importance, but because subsequent elections would, no doubt, be called upon to take cognizance of the committee's decision. However, it is regretted that "The House of Refuge" was too easily found, especially when it was furnished in the form of affidavits by those whom Mr. White ostensibly sought to help. Whether or not these affidavits were submitted voluntarily or through coercion is yet a matter of much conjecture, but they, no doubt, formed some influential part in the consideration of the Reapportionment Bill by the House Census Committee. It is utterly impossible for one to speak of the manner in which recent voting went on in some towns of the extreme Southern States—unless, however, he resorted to something approximating the Spanish Inquisition, and then it is rather dubious whether a true statement could be elicited in some sections as dominant and prevalent austral traditions precede and visualize the result of any disclosures of this nature. Mr. White made a careful and personal resume of the situation before his appearance before the House Census Committee and his charges were not made on "hearsay" as certain representatives tried to prove. We hesitate to refute the tranquility of affairs of the election as stated in the affidavits—"that the election was quiet"—though we are not disinclined to interrogate the discretion on the part of those over whose signatures the affidavits appeared. The resuscitation of the "Ku Klux Klan" in some parts of the South speaks for its objectives of its expressed activities. Nevertheless, it is to be remembered and regretted that, if affidavits had to be submitted, more wisdom was not exercised by confining their language and tone and scope to the State (Florida) rather than a town, thereby rendering an aid, not only to support Mr. White, but to aid the citizens in those localities which fashion their laws for disfranchised political aggrandizement. It is also to be remembered that Mr. White was only taking the initiative in representing the N. A. A. C. P—and it is quite proper that this Association should have taken such initiative—in a matter which New England Senators had publicly aired their views of a like nature during the progress of a case which a year ago created national interest. It is not known whether or not this matter has been finally disposed of by the House Census Committee, but, in framing its recommendations, the chairman of this committee, no doubt bingelf being in "The House of Refuge," overlooked any clause that would mitigate or eliminate this austral vogue of dispossessing citizens of this legal privilege. It is hoped that the N. A. A. C. P. will not keep its efforts on this matter in abeyance for the next four years. Parenthetically, there are those in Washington who will not content themselves with any affidavits when such practices are so pronounced—and making inroads on their own sections—and the manner in which the matter was recently fought by the committee's Southern representatives can be considered as only "crocodile tears." The commencement for this legislation should just be berthed, and it should be continued to a successful conclusion. French Deputy Assails Color Line in America Paris, Dec. 30.—In the Chamber of Deputies today, during a debate on Algeria, Deputy Andre Berthon said he regretted that the nations had not rallied to the doctrine of President Wilson. "He ought to have commenced by regulating the question of the Negroes in the United States," interjected Deputy Molinic. "There is no such question among us." M. Berthon in reply said: "There is also in America a certain imperialism. I was pained during the war at seeing American officers refuse to salute colored officers who were fighting in the same cause for civilization and justice."

C. P. Madison, B. D., pastor. The beautiful day last Sunday brought to our church a large crowd. Quite a few turned out in the early morning breeze to the prayer meeting. The Sunday school opened promptly at 9:30, Mr. G. C. Madison our newly elected superintendent, in chin. All the other officers were at their posts. At 11:30, Dr. Reed, who has been with us the past week, preached a most powerful sermon from the subject, "Christ and the Dishwashers." - St Mark 7. In his remarks he said, "The dishwasher Christian should follow the law of God and put aside the tradition of men." After this great sermon six persons came forward and decided that they would no longer be a "dishwasher Christian." At 3 p.m., Df. was preached to a large crowd of women from the subject, "Rachel Weeping for Her Children," Matt. 2:18. This sermon was a great one. Every heart was made to rejoice as he preached to us out of God's word. The women all decided that Rev. Reed was a wonderful speaker, and that they would spread the news. After his sermon two persons came forward to be prayed for, and were happily converted. At 5:30, the B. Y. P. U. had a very excellent program. A very large crowd was present. Miss Emma Hawks led the Bible reading, which was very interesting. Next Sunday, the First Baptist, B. Y. P. U. will regular a program for us. At 7 p.m., we had a short prayer service. At 8:30, Dr. Reed preached from the subject, "The Last Dip of Naman."—2 Kings 5:14. The news of the afternoon sermon had spread like fire in a breeze and a great crowd assembled to hear the powerful speaker, whose fame had gone out. After the sermon, eight persons came forward to unite with the church, and eight to be prayed for. The day closed with an increase of fourteen and two conversions. Collection $395.27.

CHURCH Last Sunday was promotion day in our Sunday school. Our services throughout the day were both inspiring and helpful. Our pastor, Rev. Nottingham, delivered to us a forcible message, taking his text from Matt. 22:24, subject, "The Question of the ages," taking as his theme, that all powers must recognize that Jesus is the Son of God, even the Devil himself, for he is King of kings, and in conclusion saying, "What think ye of Christ?" At our night service, Rev. David L. Tyesi preached to us in his discourse from Jeremiah 3:3. His message was fruitful and well applied. May God help him on his mission. Our League meeting was led by Mr. Simon Jones. Topic, "Self Control—How to Get It, and It's Rewards." Now let us come out next Sunday to all of these services and rejoice. Come, strangers and friends. Come ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH Services last Sunday were well attended and rather inspiring and helpful. Dr. D. W. Cannon, the evangelist, preached two powerful sermons, morning and evening. He held two great mass meetings, which were full of enthusiasm and seriousness for women at 3 p. m., when he addressed them on the subject, "The Best Woman and the Worst Woman in Norfolk." And at 4:30 p. m., to men, when he spoke on "Samson—New Life for the New Year." All other meetings were of an evangelistic nature. The Sunday school attendance was 554. The meetings are being held every afternoon and night during this week. On next Sunday, the pastor will fill the pulpit morning and evening. Morning subject, "The Fundamentals of Christianity." A great meeting will be held in the afternoon for men and women. His Hon. Dr. Charles S. Morris will preach from the subject, "Did It Pay Him to Ruin Her, or Where Were the Young Woman's Father and Mother When He Assailed Her?" METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH The services held in our church on last Sunday were of a very high order. Our Sunday school at 9:30 was represented by an extraordinary large attendance and was interesting and inspiring during the whole session, there being no dull moments. Some of the features of our school are: good fellowship, attractive exercises, interesting lessons and opportunities for service. We missed you last Sunday. Will you be present this Sunday? At the morning preaching hour, an overflowing congregation greeted Bishop J. W. Wood, of Indianapolis, Ind., who delighted his hearers with an eloquent Gospel message from Prov. 30:18, using as a subject, "Unanswered Questions." At the close of this most excellent message, there were seven accessions to the church. The Christian Endeavor at 6 p.m. was very interesting and seems to grow in point of interest each Sabath. You are invited to attend. At the evening preaching hour, the pastor, the Rev. N. D. King, filled his pulpit and delivered a strong and logical Gospel message to the large audience present from 1 Cor. 33:10. There were five accessions to the church at this service. Collections for the day, $109.17. Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Immenso audiences were in attendance last Sunday. So great were the crowds that surged their way into the auditorium that every available seat was taken and standing room was at a premium in the morning service. Rev. Bowling delivered a deep forceful sermon from the subject, "The Dedication of Months." Text, Ex. 2:12. The convincing spiritual appeal by the pastor resulted in six additions to the church. During this service 14 candidates were baptized. The attendance and interest in the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. reached the high water mark. At 3 p. m., the first communion service of the year was largely attended and a glorious time experienced. The right hand of fellowship was extended to 24 new members. Much interest and joy was manifested by the monster crowd in attendance at the evening service. The pastor preached with renewed strength in view of his strenuous activities with but a brief interruption during the day. Rev Bowling spoke from the subject, "The Basis for an Aggressive Evangelism." Text, Matt. 22:14. This discourse was indeed eloquent, practical and persuasive. There were eight additions, including two conversions during this service. Don't let your enthusiasm wane in the membership drive. Bring your sinner and unchurched Christian friends this Sunday morning and evening. TRINITY NOTES Last Sunday was indeed a great spiritual and intellectual feast day at Trinity church. Dr. S. S. Morris, Secretary A. C. E. League of the A. M. E. Church, preached two most acceptable sermons that made a lasting impression upon all that heard him. His addresses to the Sunday school at 9:30, and to the A. C. E. League at 6:30 were masterpieces to say the least. Next Sunday, the 28th, will be rally day for the trustees, at which time each will give a free will offering as God has prospered him. The pastor will preach at the morning service, and Mrs. G. W. Buffalo will preach at 7:30. Rev. David Tysi, a native African, will preach on the fifth Sunday night. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MT. ZION A. M. E. CHURCH (Rev. J. H. A. Martin, pastor) Services in our church last Sunday were fairly well attended. Sunday school at the usual hour was very well attended and inspiring. Rev. Martin, our pastor, being out of town last Sunday, the pubit was filled by Rev. J. J. Mainor. He delivered a forceful sermon from Job 24, using these words for a text: "What is the Purpose of Life?" This discourse was filled with thought. Every one present had something to carry home with them to meditate upon. The Endeavor services were interesting as usual. At night, Rev. Mainor delivered another effective sermon. He was at his best it seemed. Everybody was greatly benefitted. Our pastor, Rev. J. H. A. Martin will be in the city next Sunday and will preach. Come and worship with us. You are always welcome. JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCH (By H. J. Griffith) The attendance of the Sunday school last Sunday was very good. A very helpful and instructive lesson was taught. At 11:30 a.m., the pastor spoke from John 3:7—"Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again." At 8 p.m., he used for his theme, "What think ye of Christ?" Both morning and evening services were full of the spirit which made the hearts of all who were present rejoice. The B. Y. P. U. service was very good and helpful. Our revival service which started on the first Sunday of the month and ended January 17th, was the means of bringing about thirty-eight souls to Christ. The financial drive which has been in progress for thirty days and ended Sunday, resulted in the raising of $1,834.99. Collection from all other departments for the day, $125.00. Grand total, $1,960.49. GRACE P. E. CHURCH Our Sunday school last Sunday was fine in attendance. All the teachers were out and filled their places. The morning service was quite a large crowd. The rector was at his best as he presented the message of the Cross. Everybody was pleased and expressed joy in the sermon. It was co-operate communion for the women, and quite a large number came to the altar rails. The men will have their co-operate communion this Sunday. We are nearing the Lenten season, which begins February 9th. There will be services in the Attucks Theatre every day from 12 to 12:30. The speakers will consist of Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians. These services are intended to reach the community. Everybody is asked to give them support, which is needed, and we do pray God's blessing upon all these efforts for his honor and glory. Y. W. C. A. VESPERS "The Beautiful Garden" was the subject of Mrs. Daisy Deloatch's paper Sunday afternoon at the regular vesper services. She made it very plain as how disobedience first came into the world, beginning with our foreparents and the effect it has had upon mankind up to the present. Her program was interspersed with instrumental soles by Misses Nellie Holmes and Daisy Deloatch; singing by Association, and reading of Scripture by Master John Henry Deloatch. Refreshments were served during the social period. Next Sunday, January 23rd, Miss Georgia Archer, also a member of the vesper group, will entertain the association. She always renders a program that is worth your time to witness. BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Last Sunday, at the 11 o'clock service, Rev. R. J. Langston preached the installation sermon from Judges 7:21—"And they stood every man in his place round about the camp, and all the host ran, and cried, and fled." The charge was given by Rev. Bro. Alexander, and an address of welcome on behalf of the business men was made by Mr. M. R. Jackson. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Hobbs, of the Jerusalem Baptist church, preached a very stirring sermon from the subject, "A Man of God." At night, the pasotr preached from Gen. 13:8—"And Abraham said unto Lott, Let there be no strife I pray thee, between me and thee, and between the herdsmen and my herdsmen; for we are brethren." The collection for last Sunday was $821.37. The rally so far from reports received amounts to $1,230.81. The pastor and church extends its appreciation and thanks to all who have contributed in any manner to the success of these services. The Bank Street Baptist church is still moving forward. Its progress is characterized with a spirit and energy which is indeed gratifying. We are entering into this new period of our history with a unity of purpose, and with Rev. C. M. Long as our pastor. Rev. Long has already gained the love and honor and respect of the entire membership, and from the outlook we feel that we have a right to expect nothing less than the fullest measure of success. PORTSMOUTH, VA. (Continued from page 2) EMANUEL NOTES QUARTERLY MEETING The annual meeting of the Sunday school board of Emanuel showed the school to be in a very healthy condition.

She comes back to France as the companion of a crook, hoping to be able to see her son once before she dics. She kills her companion because he attempts to use her in a blackmail scheme after learning something of her life story. She is sent to prison as "Madame X" because she refuses to reveal her identity and her son, now a lawyer, is assigned to defend her at her trial, while her husband looks on from the judge's bench. Time comes in the trial when she recognizes her husband and learns the identity of her counsel. Longing to take her son in her arm she controls herself, hoping now that he may never know her. Then when she is acquitted through her son's cloquence she holds him for a moment in her arms after her husband has told him she is. But the strain of the trial, the shock of meeting her son under such circumstances prove too much for the wreck of womanhood she has become and she dies when there is a trace of happiness in sight for her. MAMIE SMITH TO APPEAR AT ATTUCKS MAMIE SMITH TO APPEAR AT ATTUCKS Few prima donas of the operatic stage have attained the sensational and spontaneous success that has come to Mamie Smith, the unique and gifted singer of popular jazz and "blues" songs, who comes to the Attucks Theatre Monday, January 24th, supported by her original Jazz Bounds, a band of instrumental musicians which is without a rival in the realm of syncopation today. From being a member of traveling concert and theatrical shows, she is an almost never-cedented circumstance, and is enough to turn the head of nearly any professional man or woman, but not with Mamie Smith. In spite of her amazing popularity, which now almost encircles the globe, her tremendous salary from her phonograph records, and her concert tours, she remains the same Mamie that her old friends knew back in the days when she was studying music and struggling for a foothold on the American stage. Success has not spoiled this remarkable woman. She is still the simple, sweet girl she has always been, and has always been a master of music, tutoring sisters in the profession. She takes a decidedly serious view of her work and feels the responsibility of stellar honors. "I realize," said Miss Smith in a recent interview, "that these thousands of people who come to hear me at my concert, expect much, and I do not intend that they shall be disappointed. They have heard my phonograph records and they want to hear me sing these songs the same as I do in my own studio in New York. For that reason, I am taking with me my original jazz hounds, who are, in my opinion, the finest players of syncopated music in the world today. Another thing, I feel that my audiences and I have spared not becoming growned and I have spared not becoming quiet in frequenting the shops of the most fashionable modistists in America, with the result that I believe my audience will like my gowns as much as I do, for I feel that the best is none too good for the public that pays to hear a singer." Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds have attracted audiences in every city in which they have appeared that have taxed the utmost capacity of the then-than Caruso has drawn larger audiences, and indications are that when these unique and unusual artists appear here at Attucks Theatre, they Okeh Records MAMIE SMITH sings only for OKeh Records. She is the greatest singer of blues in the world. Hear her records, then hear this concert. "The greatest crowd that ever attended a concert in Norfolk was present at the Billy Sunday Tabernacle last night to hear the celebrated Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds." BILLBOARD, New York. "Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds is the greatest attraction in the country today." NOTE:—Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds have broken all attendance records in New York, Boston, Pittsburgh, Norfolk, Washington, Philadelphia and other cities. "NOBODY'S CHILDREN" COMING High Speed Production To Show At Local Theatre The patrons of the Attucks Theatre will have their first opportunity to review the sensational Maurice Film Co., production, "Nobody's Children" when that great feature is shown on Friday and Saturday of next week. This picture comes highly recommended and it is said to carry more actual thrill to the reel than anything ever produced by colored people. Indeed, it is doubtful if there has ever been a five-reeler made that will hold you in the manner that is claimed for this one. There are scenes from the underworld, a couple of fights that will make you sit up and take notice—the arrest—conviction and sentence to death of the hero for a murder he did not commit, the kidnapping of his young sister and the placing of her in a dive by their unnatural step-father, her escape from the underworld, the escape of her brother from the death cell through the aid of a dope fiend who has found himself and the ultimate exoneration and pardoning of the falsely accused brother, and the re-uniting of the two. There is a bit of comedy to allay the tense situations and a moral lesson carried and brought home in a manner which will make you sit up and take real notice. Don't forget the dates. "MADAME X" REAL TEST IN ACTING "MADAME X" REAL TEST IN ACTING Pauline Frederick, whose new play, "Madame X," a Goldwyn production, comes to the Attucks Theatre, for three days, commencing Tuesday, is one screen actress who believes in keeping herself in the character she is portraying from the start to the finish of the production. Consequently playing the role of the sad, lonesome, hopeless woman around whose stormy life the action of the play moves, is no easy task for her. The character calls for the best in emotional acting, and Miss Frederick, long before the first scenes of the play were taken, was determined to present a new "Madame X" to the screen audience, and spent hours studying out each scene. Every scene that Miss-Federick has in the house is a strong emotional acting. She is Jacqueline Floriot, wife of a deputy attorney of Paris, whose husband has driven her from his home because of his unjust suspicions concerning her relations with another man. The first scenes show her returning to her home in an effort to see her young son who is seriously ill. But Floriot confronts her and in spite of her pleas and explanations drives her into the street, again, telling her that her son believes her dead. Twenty years later she is in Buenos Ayres, a wreck of a woman, frequenting underworld resorts, drinking absinthe and ether, a woman who has LEDGER DISPATCH, Norfolk, Va. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE will face an audience of absolute capacity, with many turned away at the door. Mamie Smith will be assisted by the best colored comedy act on the books. The act is Sam Cook and Speedy Smith, in "No Cheekee, no Washee," an old standard act that has played the big white circuits for eleven years. HAMPTON INST. DEFEATS LINCOLN Byron Hampton, Hampton, Va., Jan. 18—Hampton won the second game of the intercollegiate series by defeating Lincoln, 30 to 16 before a large, enthusiastic crowd of basket-ball fans. It was evident after the first few moments of play that Hampton had the better team. The feature of the game was the passing and shooting of the Hampton five. Time after time the spectators were brought to their feet by Hampton's team-work, which completely baffled the Lincolnites. The college atmosphere was evident as the rooters of both teams cheered their favorites. Although outplayed in every department of the game, the Lincoln team fought gamely until the end. Wheatland was easily their star. His playing revealed his last season's form, but he was helpless against the Hampton machine. Every Hampton man played his part well. The Lincolnites came to Hampton confident of winning and with a special request from their alumni to bring a victory from Hampton. This they tried hard to do, but had to content themselves to wait another season. The second Lincoln-Hampton game will be played in Baltimore on Friday evening, February 18th. The line-up was as follows: HAMPTON, 39 McLaren R. F. Skinner Long L. F. Homer Brady (Cpt.) C. Whentland Jones R. G. Boozer Gunn L. G. Franklin Substitutes: Lincoln - Goldwere; Hampton - Sounders, Williams and Watley. Referee: L. L. C. H. Schabacker. Score: Hampton, 39; Lincoln, 16. Harvard Refuses to Draw the Color Line Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 17—The Harvard varsity track team which had planned a Southern trip for the spring recess will not go below the Mason-Dixon line as a result of the action by the University of Virginia and the Naval Academy. To a communication from Major Fred W. Moore, graduate manager of athletics at Harvard, saying that the Crimson team included two thletes of Nugro blood, both institutions replied that they considered it best under the circumstances that track meets scheduled with Harvard in April should not be held. The cancellation has been made by Harvard, Major Moore said today, adding that the initiative in the matter soapup usm uhm mjm uhm usm were arranged the fact that Harvard's colored members might not be welcome was not considered but subsequently both Virginia and Annapolis were told that the Crimson team included colored and that unless Harvard would be welcomed with them it could not come without them. "Both the Naval Academy and Virginia replied that there were so many Southern teams that the contest might prove embarrassing not only for them but also for the Negro members of the Harvard sound. Accordingly the Southern trip has been cancelled," said Major Moore. The track team will have a spring trip, however. Penisylvania State College has invited the Crimson to a dual meeting there and one or two other colleges north of the Mason-Dixon line may be met during the spring recess. Denies That Hilldale Will Be in New League Philadelphia, Jan. 19—"I have never seen Mr. Lawson and know nothing of Hilldale having been offered a franchise in the new Continental Baseball League." This was the reply of Manager G. Bolden to a query whether Darby's colored team would accept a place in Lawson's proposed circuit. The Hilldale manager said it would be hard to answer, and then he told of a new league that Hilldale has become affiliated with and which is composed of ten, of the strongest colored teams in America. "You see," continued Bolden, "on December 3; I attended a meeting in Indianapolis, at which time Hildale, together with Bacharach Giants, became affiliated with the National Association of Colored Baseball Clubs, which is composed of ten of the strongest colored teams in America. "Eight of these teams represent cities in the West, with Bacharach Giants and Hildale in the East. A regular schedule will be played, and each of the eight Western clubs will appear in this city during the summer. "The teams comprising the league are the Kansas City Monarchs, St. Louis Giants, the A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis; Rube Foster's American Giants of Chicago; the Chicago Giants, Dayton Marcos, representing Columbus; Detroit Stars, the Western Cubans, which will represent Cincinnati; Bacharach Giants, representing New York and Atlantic City, and our own team, Hildale."

Williams Clifford, late first Lieutenant of Infantry and Special Representative of the Colored Soldiers in the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and now President and Administrative head of the Monumental Pictures Corporation stated last night in an informal gathering of representative young men of this race that he was chagrined and deeply hurt at not finding any action motion pictures of Negro Combat Units in the collection of motion pictures taken by the U. S. Signal Corps in France. Mr. Clifford, who is now getting out a Negro News reel on the order of the Pathe News, desired to have some of these pictures in his first release which will be ready for distribution the first of February. He was greatly disappointed in finding for the most part only pictures of the Negro labor and stevedore units building roads and handling supplies and of colored soldiers peeling potatoes and jigging. He stated that it was a terrible injustice to the courageous and brilliant achievements of the members of his race of the famous 15th Infantry of New York and other combat units that no pictures were made showing their intrepid and dauntless bravery in action on the Western Front and which so materially contributed to the glorious victory and to the protection of American honor and integrity. Trying to Bar Colored Railway Employees (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Jan. 17.—A controversy, affecting hundreds of colored yard brakemen on the Norfolk and Western railway, is being argued before the U. S. Railway Labor Board here, between the Association of Colored Railway trainmen, having headquarters in Memphis, and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. The Brotherhood desires a rule which would make it possible for only promotable men being given employment, which would automatically eliminate colored trainmen, because of color prejudice. J. H. Eiland, president, and C. E. Henike, divisional chairman, are representing the Association of Colored Railroad Trainmen; A. D. Long, of Birmingham, is representing Colored Locomotive Firemen. They are making a strenuous fight for their respective organizations. The hearing will perhaps last a week longer. Pres.
