SCORES KILLED AND HURT. IN EXPLOSION INTRODUCE BILL TO STOP LYNCHING IN NORTH CAROLINA Death and Misery Caused by Sudden Explosion of 8000 Gallons of Gasoline $200,000 Worth of Property in the Colored Section of North Memphis Damaged and Numbers of People Blown to Pieces in Explosion that Rocks Country for Miles Around—Hospitals Crowded With Wounded and Dying VOL. XXI. NO.7 SCORE INTRODUC Death and by Sud 8000 $200,000 Worth of Prop Damaged and Num that Rocks Coun Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 25—With over 15 people dead, numbers injured, many seriously, and $200,000 worth of property destroyed, caused by the sudden explosion of a tank car containing 8,000 gallons of "casing head" gasoline, North Memphis was suddenly transferred from a peaceful suburb into a war-torn village of misery and death. The explosion occurred when a tank car of gasoline on the siding of the Golay-Reese Company was being opened. The exact cause of explosion could not be ascertained by a reporter of this paper at a late hour. The officials of the company believed that spontaneous combustion due to atmospheric change was the cause, while some stated that sparks from a chisel ignited the gas. Perhaps the exact cause will never be known. Andrew McKinley, who was removing the dome from the tank car when EMINENT DIVINES WILL SPEAK AT LENTEN SERVICES People Will Be Given Opportunity to Hear Great Discourses on Religious Subjects During Lent at Attucks Theatre Rev.

He was badly burned and died during the night in the hospital. He was quoted as saying that when he removed the cap, gas rose to a height of twenty feet, and formed a pall of black smoke which ignited and exploded. He had been in the employ of the company a long time, and was well experienced with the work of opening tank cars. Virtually no trace of the tank car was left. Pieces of it were hurled hundreds of feet in every direction. Immediately after the explosion pools of oil caught fire and caused much damage. When the explosion let go, a row of frame houses along a entire block were splintered and the occupants blown to the street or caught under the falling timbers. Most of those killed outright were badly mangled. JUDGE R. H. TE TO SPEAK JUDGE R. H. TERRELL TO SPEAK AT ATTUCKS JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL The local chapter of the Armstrong League, consisting of Hampton graduates and ex-students living in Norfolk and Portsmouth and the suburban sections, will present to the people of Tidewater, Sunday, February 6th, at the Attucks Theatre, Judge R. H. Terrell, of Washington. This meeting will be commemoration services for General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, the founder of Hampton BAPTIST CONGRESS GOES TO LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS BAPTIST CONGRESS GOES TO LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 24. (National Negro Association Service).—Little Rock is to entertain the 1921 session of the Sunday School Congress forces June 8th to 13th. This action was confirmed by the meeting of the Board held in this city today. Five cities were running neck and neck for these honors. They were Muskogee, Okla.; Columbus, S. C.; Galveston, Texas; St. Louis, Mo., and Little Rock. It developed that the matter had been before the Board for the third time and that the decision was only reached today. Notices were at once sent to the leaders at Arkansas, conveying the information to them. The Secretary of the movement, Rev. Henry A. Boyd, and the chairman, Dr. C. H. Clark, authorized the announcement and they All the property immediately adjacent to the Coylar Reese Co., was occupied by colored people, therefore they made up almost the entire casualty list. The detonation of the explosion was heard throughout the city and the thousands who flocked to the scene added to the confusion and made difficult the work of the police and volunteer rescue parties. Besides the damage in the immediate vicinity, window glasses within a radius of several blocks were shattered by the concussion. All hospital facilities were crowded and special beds were brought in. The moans and groans of many could be heard from the outside. The churches and various organizations immediately got busy and organized themselves so as to assist in the work of succoring the unfortunate. Many people missing are believed to have been burned or buried beneath the wreckage. MERRELL K AT ATTUCKS Institute. An unusual program will be presented. The Hampton quartet will sing. Owing to the large number of Hamptonians in this district and the interest this community manifests in the institution, a large crowd is expected. Judge Terrell is one of the biggest men the race has, and it will be worth the while of everyone just to hear him. H. LINK JOHNSON STARTS THINGS IN GEORGIA HUMMING Attanta, Ga., Jan. 25.—Action and real action began immediately after the Central State Committee of the Republican party of Georgia convened. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson. National Committeeman from Georgia, was present and was the high-light of the meeting. Mr. Johnson's faction dominated the meeting and he made several vigorous attacks on C. P. Goree and M. II. Karnes, chairman and vice-chairman respectively of the committee. Their resignations were asked for and it was proposed to dismiss them should they fail to resign. Neither were present at the meeting. Attempts to "trade" Federal patronage in Georgia for campaign contributions, violations of instructions of the committee, efforts to elect a "hybrid Democratic ticket" and "forgery" --- NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, JANUARY 29, 1921 THE CHEMIST One of the most important positions in the Government service in Chicago is that of chemist in U.

FIRST STEP TO PREVENT LAWLESSNESS TAKEN BY SOLONS IN NORTH STATE on the part of Krunes were charged in a series of sneezes and statements to the committee. Henry Lincoln Johnson, who was loudly cheered when he made his first appearance before Atlanta Republicans in some months, also launched an attack against the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, and said that after March 5th he will appeal to the Republican Postmaster General to bar the organization's literature from the mail. He also declared that President-elect Harding is pledged to enactment of an anti-lynching law and that he, Johnson, will stay in Washington until it is passed. STREETS IN THE COLORED SECTIONS WILL BE PAVED City Mgr. Ashburner Gives This Assurance to Citizens Included in the streets to be improved in City Manager Ashburner's recently outlined program for the improvement of the thoroughfares of the city, reaching an expenditure of nearly two million dollars, are Avenue A, Anne street and Rugby street. Mr. Ashburner gave this assurance to the residents of the colored sections of the city in answer to inquiries directed to him. To Mr. II. C. Young, who inquired of the city manager the extent to which streets in Huntersville, Barbounville and Lindenwood would be improved in the new program, Mr. Ashburner stated that Avenue A had been placed on the paving program, and also the connection from the end of Barre street by Rugby to Church street. To Dr. R. L. Williams, who wrote the city manager in behalf of colored friends the information was given that Anne street would be paved. Improvement in the colored sections was begun by Mr. Ashburner in the paving of Goff, O'Keefe and Barre streets and Washington and C avenues. It appears from Mr. Ashburner's announcement that some work will be done on colored streets each year until they are all put in modern, sanitary condition. Washington, D. C., Jan. 26.—The Leconi Social, and Literary Club of Pittsburgh, Pa., through Hon. Robt. L. Vann, has recently made available a scholarship of $50.00 for a deserving student at the Howard University, Washington, D. C. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 26—A bill aimed to prevent lynching was presented in the legislature of this State last week. The bill got a favorable committee report immediately after adjournment of the Senate on last Thursday. It is designed to prevent the crime of lynching or lessen it by removing the immediate object of an infurious mob from the clutches of the mob. The bill provides an amendment to the law which will not require the presence of the defendant in the court room when motion for removal to another county is made. This will make it possible to move a trink from the county to another without bringing the prisoner from an adjacent county or the State prison, where he may have been carried for safe keeping, and placing him in the court room at the time the motion is made. Had such an amendment been in force recently when the Goldsboro mob threatened the lives of three men, the mob trouble in Wayne county could have been prevented. Kills Hogs Weighing 1,286 Pounds (By The Associated Negro Press) Dublin, Ga., Jan. 26—M. N. O'Neal, a colored farmer living in Rentz, this county, has just killed four Poland China hogs whose combined weights amounted to 1.286 pounds, with an average age of 18 months. O'Neal has been raising hogs for sometime, and at the Oceean fair held in Dublin won the first prize for the best display of home-make meat. His hogs, weights 270, 300, 313 and 400 pounds, respectively, were peanut and corn fed.

CARVER NOTED AFRICAN OPENS THE EYES MISSIONARY TO OF CONGRESSMEN LECTURE HERE Washington, D. C., Jan. 28.—The Director of the Census today issued a preliminary statement of the white and Negro population of Norfolk, Va., as shown by the Census taken as of January 1, 1920. The population of Norfolk, as announced May 24, 1920, was 115,777, comprising 72,243 whites, 43,477 Negroes, and 157 others (Chinese, Japanese, and Indians). The figures for 1910 were: whites, 42,353; Negroes, 25,039; others, 60. The white population constituted 62.4 per cent of the total in 1920 and 62.8 per cent in 1910, while the Negro population constituted 37.5 per cent of the total in 1920 and 37.1 per cent in 1910. The increase in the white population since 1910 was 28,390, or 70.6 per cent, while the corresponding increase in the Negro population was 18,338, or 83.2 per cent. Of the total population of Norfolk in 1920, the males numbered 60,191, or 52 per cent, and the females, 55,386, or 48 per cent. In 1910 the corresponding figures were: males, 32,867, or 48.7 per cent; females, 34,585, or 51.3 per cent. The ratio of males to females was 108.3 to 100 in 1920, as against 95 to 100 in 1910. Washington, D. G., Jan. 25.—The first step in the securing of an increased duty on peanuts in the permanent tariff bill was taken here last week when a number of men prominent in the industry appeared before the committee. Ten minutes time was allotted to each one to make his plea. After all the white men had spoken, Prof. G. W. Carver, who has charge of the research laboratories at Tuskegee Institute, was called upon. When Prof. Carver came forward bringing a large hand bag, many of the white congressmen tried to laugh him off. This disturbed Prof. Carver not in the least. He was rather slow in opening his bag laden with over a hundred peanut products he had tried out in his research work at Tuskegee. But as he laid his various products out one by one on the stenographer's desk directly in front of Chairman Fordney and then told what each was by name and number, he literally woke up the whole committee seated on the platform overlooking the committee room with its hundred or more hearers and soon had them each and every one leaning forward over the railing to see what was coming next and to get every word spoken. With characteristic remarks as to the value of this or that product and with sharp repartee in reply to questions from the committee he got them so completely under his sway that the end of his allotted time of ten minutes there came cries for him to go on, and then for twenty minutes longer he wafed them on the wings of unlimited possibilities for the peanut, if the American grower was only given such protection as would insure a full development of the industry. The occasion was a great inning for Dr. Carver well as for the peanut. The questions asked him about himself as he went along showed that the committee was as much interested in him and the great work he is doing as in the products he was making from the peanut. In addition to the spellbound attention given him through his talk, Chairman Fordney personally expressed his gratification for his most unusual presentation and then requested him to prepare for the printed records of the committee such statements as he might wish in connection with the peanut and its possibilities. Prof. Carver simply proved again that it is not the color of a man's skin that makes the man, but it is what he has in his head. He is one of the foremost authorities on the peanut.

C., Jan. 24.—The Director of the Census today issued a preliminary statement of the white and Negro population of Portsmouth, Va., as shown by the census taken as of January 1, 1920. The population of Portsmouth, as announced July 22, 1920, was 54,387, comprising 31,104 whites, 23,242 Negroes, and 41 others (Chinese, Japanese, and Indians). The figures for 1910 were: whites, 21,560; Negroes, 11,617; others, 13. The white population constituted 57.2 per cent of the total in 1920 and 65 per cent in 1910, while the Negro population constituted 42.7 per cent of the total in 1920 and 35 per cent in 1910. The increase in the white population since 1910 was 9,544, or 44.3 per cent, while the corresponding increase in the Negro population was 11,625, or 100.1 per cent. Of the total population of Portsmouth in 1920, the males numbered 28,011, or 51.5 per cent, and the females, 26,376, or 48.5 per cent.

NOTED AFRICAN MISSIONARY TO LECTURE HERE Dr. James E. East, who has recently returned to this country after spending eleven consecutive years in South Africa, will tell of his thrilling experiences in trying to civilize raw natives and of how he won his way into the confidence of the hostile British authorities. Whole villages have been transformed from naked savages into civilized and well-trained groups of workers. Witch doctors have given up their conjurations and gone into the Gospel ministry. Wicked and cruel polygamus chiefs have released their concubines and become workers in the church. Families have moved out of mud huts into comfortable homes. But all of these accomplishments of eleven years have been accompanied with risk and danger. This is what makes Dr. Einst's story of his life in Africa so intensely interesting. Crowds that have taxed the seating capacity of the country's largest churches have gone to hear him in Pittsburgh. New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago and Louisville. It is a rare treat to have a man like Dr. East to visit Norfolk at this time. And it is believed that a mammoth crowd will gather at the First Baptist church on Bute street to hear him this Wednesday night. Dr. East will preach Sunday morning at the Shiloh Baptist church, Rev. J. H. Ashby, pastor, and at night for the Second Calvary Baptist church, Rev. C. P. Madison, pastor. There will be no charges to hear Dr. East, but offerings will be lifted to help him in his great work. RACES CLASH AT NORLINA Henderson, N. C., Jan. 25.—Arguments that started over a trade in apples some weeks ago terminated in serious trouble at Norlina, a small town a short distance from here, last week. Four white men and three colored are reported to have been wounded, several of them fatally. The wounded men were taken to hospitals in Henderson and some placed in jail. Sunday night a mob of white men gained entrance to the jail and secured two men by the name of Bullock and Williams, carried them a short distance into the woods and riddled their bodies with bullets. Home: Guard, troops were ordered by Gov. Morrison and quiet prevailed with no further trouble antitraumatized. JANUARY 29, 1921 CHILD SAVING WORK IN ARMENIA TOLD BY AN AMERICAN Charles V. Vickrey Gives Facts of Near East Relief Program for Orphans. Charles V. Vickrey, general secretary of the Near East Relief, has returned from a trip of inspection throughout Central Europe and the Near East, and made a report to the treasurer of the Near East Relief in which he covers in detail the actual work of child living now being conducted by the great American relief organization in the Near East. Mr. Vickrey believes that "a few millions of dollars widely expended at this time in the education of the children of the Near East, in character building and in moulding these young lives, will be worth vastly more to the world CHARLES V. VICKREY. than billions of dollars spent later in suppressing international warfare and strife." Mr. Victory considers the need in the Near East and especially in Armenia greater than anywhere else in the world, because, as he says, "In the countries of Central Europe there are going governments which have merely been temporarily impoverished by war. In the Near East, on the other hand, there is no such thing as stable government. The whole fabric of the state has to be created from the beginning, and the innocent and helpless children have to be trained to the responsibilities of future citizenship. Peace in the Near East and, in great measure, throughout the world, will depend very largely on the character of the citizenship of the peoples of the Near East." Irresistible Appeal of Orphans. Describing the orphanage work of the Near East Relief in the Armenian Republic, Mr. Victory said: "We have at Alexandropol in the Caucasus, one orphanage where there are approximately 10000 homeless children, fatherless or motherless, many of them having no known living relative. Some of them do not even know their own names, or the place of their birth. They have shown wonderful recuperative powers, and to see they play their kindergarten or other games under the direction of our American relief workers, one could never believe that they had passed through the years of suffering that most of them have experienced since they, or their parents, were driven from their homes in Central Turkey five years ago. "For the accommodation of these orphans there are sixty splendid stone buildings, erected as barracks for the Russian army. These buildings are now given to us by the Armenian government for a period of ten years and lend themselves admirably to relief purposes. "This orphanage at Alexandropol is but one of the 229 orphans that the Near East Relief is now operating in various parts of the Caucasus, Anatolia, Cilicia, Syria and the Constantinople-Straits area. "Thirty miles from Alexandropol, at Kars, there is another group of Russian army barracks, which were given us by the Armenian government for relief purposes. I was going through the dormitories of this orphanage at Kars when the young American college girl in charge turned to me and said: 'Mr. Vickrey, it sometimes makes me feel just a little older than Methuselu to be called "Mother" by 6,000 of those Armenian children.' And that is exactly what she was—the only mother that these 6,000 Armenian children have, except as she orphaned herself of the organized assistance of native Armenian women, in caring for this large family. "In the hospital at Kars I found 1,150 beds, which the day I was there, were occupied by 1,268 patients, it frequently being necessary to put two or more children in a single bed. At Alexandropol we have in one hospital or group of hospital buildings, 1,500 trachoma patients. At Kuraklis, forty miles east of Alexandropol we have an orphage devoted exclusively to the care and training of the blind children. At Delijan we have another orphage, located on a mountain side, for the care of tubercular children, this segregation being as much for the welfare of the healthy children in the orphages as for the care of the uncomfortable consumptives. At Erivan we formerly had twenty-six distinct orphages, though they have now been reduced and consolidated to seven in number. There are something more than 6,000 orphans in the region of Harpout." Success comes to those who deserve it; to all who plan their work and expenditures and SAVE money regularly. While the amount of money that you SAVE is important in itself, the biggest thing after all is that you have learned how to save. Money SAVED each month will help you buy a home. If you start SAVING now you will be on the road to independence in a short time. NU-LIFE and C. J. WALKER Systems LESSONS TAUGHT Hours: 8:30 a. m. to 8:30 p. m. Later by Appointment 664 CHURCH ST.

She was a creature of warm, sympathetic and generous impulses, although the charity she extended was undemonstrative and her acts of kindness hidden from public view as far as possible. It was at a revival meeting in the stairs, whither Norma Lont had accompanied her brother, a clergyman, to play the organ for the occasion that one of her impetuous exhibitions of good heartedness materialized, and the object of her liberality was a poorly dressed girl of her own age, who had come into the hall half perished with the cold. Norma noted her thin and threadbare garb and most of all the broken, snow-clogged shoes. A pitying emotion induced her to quietly remove to a seat near the girl. As quietly she removed her own well kept shoes unnoticed, placed them on the floor and whispered to the other: "Before you go out again put on those comfortable shoes—they are for you. Keep up a brave heart, dear. You look like a good girl and if you will give me your address, I will see you again." So the wondering, but delighted girl named a tenement location and had no idea that Norma, when she left the place later, did so in her stocking feet. Norma was infused with a thrilling spirit of self sacrifice and heroism that sustained her, but was laid up with the effects of her exposure for a full month afterward. The incident got into the papers and her name appeared in connection with it. When she was recovered and went to search for Alice Lult, she found she had moved away from the tenement where she had formerly lived. In the course of a few months Norma's brother broke down in health and was offered a home on a ranch in New Mexico by an old friend of his dead father. Gerald went thither accompanied by Norma, whose life had been always linked closely with his own. The old cattle raiser prepared for them a little cottage with attractive floral surroundings, and saw to it that they lived something more than comfortably. His business was an extensive one and there was some bookkeeping to do, which Norma attended to and received for this service a small, but regular recompense. Gerald had been advised to give up his profession, as his voice had fallen him. He took to writing books, but with indifferent success. The returns from the same were spasmoid. He was very much discouraged when one day he received a visit from his publisher. "Laut," he said, "you were born and brought up in the South. I have a client with money who wishes to have a series of books written about that section. He has outlined six of these and all you have to do is fill in the plot and details. You are to be paid two thousand dollars a book, and if they take you will receive fifty per cent of the profits. He does not wish to appear as the author at all, but believes he knows the literary tastes of his possible reading clientele and that the books will make a good hit and turn out a profitable speculation." It was wonderful how Gerald Laut braced up after two volumes had been published and his reputation was made and a good income guaranteed. It was when he was fully rejuvenated in spirit and health that a lively young lady, Alice Trevor, became a summer boarder at the home of a neighbor. From the first Norman racked her memory to get an inkling of where she had seen that charming face before, but she could not solve the question and nothing that Miss Trever said encouraged her. They became close friends and Gerald Lant for the first time in his life was attracted by a member of the opposite sex. Miss Trever grew to so like Norman that she protected her stay. The latter was glad to notice the interest her brother took in the young lady, for she seemed to be his equal in culture and education. It was given out generally that she was quite wealthy, through an inheritance from a father by adoption. "We are engaged, Norma," announced Gerald in his quiet, even tone one day. "Alice wishes to see you particularly about it this afternoon. Will you go and see her dear?" "Certainly, and with the heartiest congratulations," replied Norma warmly. "I shall welcome her as a sister and I know she will make you happy." A butterfly emotion pervaded the lovely Alice as Norma clasped her in a warm sisterly embrace. Then she said: "I have a great deal to tell you," and she closed and locked the door of her room. Then she drew a unhaggy case from the wardrobe and opened its cover. Within reposed a pair of shoes. In wonder Norma stared. "You do not recall them, or myself?" questioned Miss Trevor. "I am the Alice Lull who received those from you at the darkest hour of my life, and your kindness and the golden words of your brother saved me from shining utterly under poverty and discouragement. A little later I was adopted by a rich relative under my present name. It is I who have encouraged the enterprise of the books written by Gerald. Oh! my dear, love me, love me, both of you, for my life has been one long cherished memory of both of you, bringing about the happiest hour of my life as his chosen bride."

Mrs. Magnolia Johnson gave a very interesting talk on the "Work of the Nursery League," and Mr. W. H. Jennings spoke of "How the Nursery has Aided the Juvenile Work in Caring for Dependent Children." The climax of the program came to us when Mrs. Emma Lee Williams, of Washington Conservatory of Music spoke so beautifully of "The Service That Counts."

INVITED TO JOIN DOLLAR A WEEK SAVINGS CLUB INVITED TO JOIN DOLLAR A WEEK SAVINGS CLUB Everyone Is Asked To Become Member Of Thrity Organization By Investing For Future Prosperity—Motto Is "Work And Save." Every person in this state, and in the nation for that matter, is invited to join "The Dollar a Week Club." The motto of this organization is "Work and Save," and its purpose is to put idle dollars to work where they can accomplish a real good. It is the hope of the United States Treasury Department, which is behind the movement for the organization of the nation-wide campaign, that it soon will have hundreds of thousands of members. It is the idea of the Treasury Department that these clubs can be organized in mills, factories and other industrial plants; in colleges, normal schools and high schools and in community centers generally. The government, during 1921, will issue a special $1 Treasury Saving Stamp. It is the plan that all members of "The Dollar a Week Club" plea, themselves to buy at least one of those new $1 stamps each week. While the $1 stamp, like the 25-cent Thrift Stamp, does not bear interest, the government offers a $25 full interest-bearing Treasury Saving Certificate for twenty $1 stamps, plus a small additional amount of cash. This offer, it is hoped, will add great stimulus to the government savings movement and will be the means of inducing many people to acquire the valuable habits of thrift and saving. War Savings Stamp (worth $5 when they mature), will be issued through out the year, as also will the $100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates. During January of the new year the $5 stamp may be had for $4.12. It will increase in value 1 cent each month. The January price of the new $25 Treasury Savings Certificate will be $20.60. Its value increasing 5 cents a month. The $100 Treasury Savings Certificate may be bought during January for $24.00. Its monthly increase in value is 20 cents. All these government savings securities may be had from post offices or through banks. CENTIMES and CENTS France, say returned travelers, in barren soil for Bolshevism. Its people are concerning themselves with rehabilitation the nation. American economists ascribe the incredible progress of the French toward restoration to the universality of property ownership, the determination to work to live on something less than they produce and devotion of the surplus to making France its glorious self of pre-war days. Whatever America may have, it should possess these French virtues more abundantly. The nation should perpetuate itself. Since poverty growing out of waste, industrial, individual and financial inefficiency creates dissatisfaction, the soil in which anarchy and communism thrive like the useless weeds they are, it is a wise, patriotic and foresighted statesmanship that plans to prevent their recurrence in the next generation. Such is the basis of the government's "EARN, SAVE AND INVEST" campaign. It seeks to make each boy and girl in school this year a convert to the doctrine that all must work live within their income and invest their savings to aid the nation and themselves. French millions who saved a few centimes a day, rather than French millionaires, are responsible for France's strength in peace as in war. They have, for generations, invested in government securities, and when American millions have that habit, the future of the United States will be assured more incontestably than through any other means. And the United States has made easy the formation of such habits, as it offers securities of its own in denominations within the reach of all. the work of the Nursery League, exerting the sacrificial work of Miss Ida Barbour, the founder of the great work for the infancy of our race.

There was one so sweet and lovely, Loved and cherished by us all; Ane who lived the life that's holy, And did answer to the call. Yes, she answered to my Saviour, As He spoke so soft and low; Bidding her to come up higher From this sorrow, toil, and woe. "Others," was her daily motto; Serve and help your fellowman, Was the life dear sister stood for, Using head, heart, soul and hand. Now her work on earth has ended; She has joined the hosts above, And with angels, now is singing Round the eternal throne of God. Sing on, daughter, thou art happy, With thy Saviour ever rest; And we, too, will seek to join the In that land by your uniteded. From the Family.

Our Sunday school at 9:30 was represented by an extraordinary large attendance, and the lesson was very beautiful taught. At 1:30, an overflowing congregation greeted the pastor, who delighted his hearers with an eloquent Gospel message from Psalms 116:12, using as a subject, "What shall I render unto the Lord, for all his benefits unto me?" At the close of this strong message, there were three accessions to the church. After which the Holy Communion was given and we all returned to our homes feeling glad we had gone to the house of the Lord. At night, the pastor preached from Romans 1:16, subject, "The Power of the Gospel to Save." His sermon was full of wholesome instruction. Collection for the day, $42.00.

SATUEDAY, JANUARY 29, 1921 THE LEAN FOLLOW THE FAT YEARS The lean years always follow the fat years. In the days of the patriarchs it came about every seven years. In the times in which we live and in the life of each individual it depends. Harvey's Weekly, in discussing "A Prelude to Prosperity," among other sensible things, says: "It would be miraculous if the years of plenty and too often of profligency through which we have been passing were not followed by a period of comparative leanness, and of loss. That is a commonplace of the world's economic history. It would be well if those who made the greatest gains were to bear the greatest burden of loss, in net profits. Unfortunately, that cannot always be assured. Losses, like the rain, fall upon the just and the unjust without discrimination. But there is at least one thing that can be done, if only 'people will do it. We mean that, just as in flush times all strove to profit from them as much as they could, all shall now with equal readiness strive to hear the inconveniences and even the losses of the readjustment period, and thus expelite and facilitate the return to a normal state of affairs." . The Journal and Guide preached this doctrine when the war was raging, work was plentiful and wages were high, and it has been preaching it since the close of the war. Those who saved when it was easy to do so can now congratulate themselves while those who spent us they went and now have nothing are to be pitted for their misfortune, which their innocent wives and children must also endure because of their shortsightedness. Let us all do what we can to help the fortunate over the readjustment times of self-denial and want. ARKANSAS SEPARATES STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTIONS Some States are like some persons, they do not learn anything by experience and they do not forget anything by the like token. They are in hot water and find it impossible to adopt the course that would fetch them out of it. We have watched the course of such persons and States closely, and read of such in the history of the past, mythological and mystological, and we find it invariably so with them that, having adopted the way to destruction, they seem unable to retrace their course and come out with safety and satisfaction. In all such cages it has been for us to ask, "Who hath blinded their eyes?" A great many politicians of the Southern States fall into the class of persons who refuse to learn or to forget anything. They go on from one position of error to another, courting always the Nemesis that is sure of overtako and undo them. The State of Arkansas, by its legislature, has just made one of those mintakes which indicate that its politicians learn nothing and forget nothing. The legislature has just passed a law which separates the State and Federal elections, the State elections to be held in October. The reasons for the change are stated in blunt terms to be to prevent the "State from again being disgraced, as happened in the late elections, of having a Negro candidate for the Governorship of Arkansas," and with the hope that the "Negroes will not concern themselves with local elections for State and county offices, but concentrate their attention on Federal elections." State and county elections are the ones that concern the citizen more closely than the Federal elections, as, in the main, the citizen is governed by State and county administration rather than by Federal Administration. Afro-American citizens do not understand this to be true as generally as they should. NO COLOR LINE IN CHRISTIANITY? NO. BUT? The Protestant Episcopal Church is generally regarded as the most aristocratic and exclusive denomination of the Christian churches of the country. It is also regarded as among the broadest and most generous on the question of race brotherhood and helpfulness. Its bishops are men of lofty standards who seldom descend to the smallness observable in the bishops of other white denominations. We were, therefore, all the more surprised on reading the following opinion of Rt. Rev. Troy Beatty, co-adjutor bishop of Tennessee, delivered in a diocessan convention, at Memphis, recently: "There is no such thing as a color line in Christianity and the colored priest in our church stands before God on the same footing as the white priest. And we must show our Christianity to the Negro. We can show it when our wash is brought home on Saturdays, or when we send out the nurse, if we are so fortunate as to possess one, in the afternoon, and also in our chicken houses at night." We question if there is another bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the country who would be guilty of delivering any such opinion as Bishop Beatty is alleged to have delivered. Of course there is no color line in Christianity. Whenever one appears, wherever one exists, there is no Christianity whatever in those who draw it. There can be no appeal from this view of the matter, because there is nothing in the New Testament upon which to base such appeal. How many church denominations, how many churches, in this country draw the color line? There is no Christianity in any of them that do it. Bishop Beatty would have us to understand that he and his parishioners have no contact whatever with Afro-Americans who may not be grouped as washer-women, nurses and chicken thieves. The two former are good and necessary persons, and much to be respected in the places where they are, and especially in the church when they are members, but they do not make up the major part of the membership of any of the churches and they should not be classed with chicken thieves, as Bishop Beatty has done it. The head of the Christian Church rebukes Bishop Beatty to his face. BAPTIST CONGRESS (Continued from Page 1) declare that in all probability there will be no reduced round trip rates for any religious gatherings. They contemplate an increased attendance over last year. It will be remembered that just a year ago this meeting was held in Springfield, Ill., where memorial services were held for the late Abraham Lincoln. More than twenty thousand Sunday schools and one million five hundred thousand Sunday school workers are effected by this call. Frederick Douglass Day (By The Associated Negro Press) Buffalo, N. Y., Jan. 28—A few weeks ago, we learned that the name of Frederick Douglas had been rejected for the Hall of Fame and many of our men and women felt very bad because this illustrious man had not been chosen. We have the opportunity to place his name forever in the Hall of Fame at Anacostia, D. C., by making his home so beautiful that visitors from all over the world will make a beaten path to "Cedar Hill." Four years ago the Trustee Board of the Douglass Memorial Home sought the help of the National Association of colored women and in ten months we paid off the mortgage and saved the home from any further embarrassment. We did not restore. We simply redeemed; then the war came on and we could not finish the job. I called for ten thousand dollars for restoration, and during these years, in addition to wiping off the mortgage, we have raised an additional sum towards the restoration of four thousand dollars. To completely restore the home at least $6,000.00 is needed, and today we are sending out what we hope will be the last appeal to Club women and race men and women to fittingly celebrate the birthday of our illustrious Douglass by appropriate exercises, and by raising as large a sum as possible. Every organization or individual that contributes $25.00 will have their names written upon the parchment that will hang forever upon the walls of the home, thus showing to our children the names of men and women who desired to make of Cedar Hill our Hall of Fame. Mrs. C. J. Walker was the largest contributor, and to her memory a special tablet will be erected when the home is restored. The old Board of Tuskegee will meet in Washington, March 3rd, at the call of their president. The Board representing the National Association of Colored women will meet in Washington, March 5th, 1 p. m., at Cedar Hill. We desire that both boards will meet the public on the afternoon of March 5th, from 2 to 5 p. m., and every colored man and woman who comes to Washington for the inauguration may consider this as the invitation to journey to this historic place, and here let us again receive inspiration by walking through the rooms made hallowed by the immortal Douglass. Saturday, February 12, 1921, will be known all over by loyal race men and women as Douglass Memorial Day.

AFRICA SEEKS HOME RULE (By The Associated Negro Born) (By The Associated Negro Press) London, Eng., Jan. 26.—British West Africa is the latest country to seek home rule. A mission has_arrived to urge a number of reforms in the administration of the four West African colonies and protectorates, Sierra Leone, the Gold Const, Nigeria and the Gambia, says the London Times. The mission seeks the creation of a legislative council which will be composed of members chosen half by the crown and half elected by the people and for a house of assembly which would have complete control of the revenue and expenditure. The judicial system, in particular of Nigeria, is criticized by the mission, which states that "it is the practise to appoint Europeans who have not received any legal training and who are not competent to exercise judicial functions." Among other suggested reforms they seek the establishment of a West African University; the removal of the color bar in the medical service and the introduction of immigration laws to prevent the influx of undesirable aliens. Howard Univ. Students Contribute to Near East Relief Washington, D. C., Jan. 26.—The Howard University faculty and students recently held a meeting in the University chapel in the interest of Mr. Herbert Hoover's European War Relief movement. In transmitting the contribution of $5678 to Chairman Arthur S. Moses, of the European War Relief Council for the District of Columbia, Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of the University, stated that although the amount was small, it testified to the very great interest of those connected with the University in helping those who are so greatly suffering in Europe at this time. Excelsior Brass and Reed Band's Annual Meeting The famous Excelsior Brass and Reed Band held its regular annual session Sunday, January 23, 1921, at the Norfolk Auditorium. It was one of the most delightful and harmonious meetings the band has ever had. Our success during the year of 1920 was certainly great and advanced our record more than 50 per cent. To our patrons we wish to extend our appreciations and gratitude and sincerely trust that we may be better able to serve you during the future. During this meeting was held the election of officers to serve for the ensuing year. The results were as follows: W. E. Lawrence, president; C. H. Butts, vice-president; A. V. Williams, secretary; C. T. Butts, assistant secretary; J. S. Cannon, treasurer; Oscar Fields, major and sergeant-at-arms; Geo. Elliott, Sr., director and manager; Benj. Jones, assistant director and manager. Executive board: R. A. Brown, chirman, F. L. Smith and Clarence Jones. The sick committee was appointed by the president: Richard Fields, chairman, and Wm. Jones. There were various good speeches made by the elected officers, after which the meeting adjourned.

Show This to Some Unfortunate NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE PACKED HOUSE GREETS JUDGE HARRISON A capacity audience assembled at the Attucks Theatre Sunday afternoon to hear Judge Wm. H. Harrison's mastery oration on the timely theme, "Our Day in Court." The Judge's reputation as a logical thinker and a convincing speaker is such that the mere announcement of his coming is sufficient to summon a mammoth meeting of seekers after the truth. JUDGE WM. H. HARRISON This is by no means his first visit to Norfolk, and judging by the enthusiasm of his reception, it is not likely to be the last. It seems, moreover, that the Judge is no less enamored of Norfolk than she is of him. In commenting on the business progress of Norfolk generally and Church street especially, he expressed the wish to repeat his visits until Church streets from end to end should give such evidences of progress as are constituted by the Attucks, Tidewater Bank, Brown's Bank, etc. In the treatment of his subject, the Judge represented the Negro as on trial before the court of public opinion to answer indictment upon the charge of being black. Because of the manifest injustice of the charge, counsel demurs to the indictment, moves that the same be quashed and the client acquitted. The court promptly over rules the motion and requires the accused to plead. In defense of his innocence, defendant calls as witness, the Holy Bible, the Federal Constitution, the several State Constitutions. Upon their successive and exhaustive examination, they severally assert that there is no authority for the assumption that the circumstance of color constitutes a crime. Pursuant to the policy of prejudice, however, the court declines to be guided by the evidence and peremptorily declares the defendant guilty as charged. Unable to obtain justice at the bar of the court of public opinion, the defendant appeals to the court of Eternal Justice. This speech was acclaimed by all as the best the Judge has yet made. 28 GRADUATE AT PETERSBURG Petersburg, Va.—Sunday, January 23rd, marked the beginning of the ceremonies of the mid-winter commencement sensor. It proved to be a very interesting day. At 9:30 in the morning appropriate exercises were held in honor of the twenty-eight seniors who are graduating from the Teacher Training Department of the Sunday school. The students graduating had been under the instruction of Miss Isabel S. Frazier and Miss Felicia D. Anderson. Special music for the occasion had been prepared by Miss Anna L. Lindsay. The address to the class was delivered by Mrs. Janie Porter Barrett, superintendent of the Industrial School for Girls, at Peakes. Mrs. Barrett's address was timely, instructive and inspiring. Her subject was, "Vision, Vitality, and Victory." It was developed in a very interesting manner. The diplomas were presented to the class by Dr. John M. Gandy, who, in a few well-chosen words, pointed out to them the value of such training, and urged them to go out into their several communities and help to deepen, broaden, and purify the religious life of the people there. From a small beginning this department has grown rapidly until it now has an enrollment of two hundred sixty-seven students. Miss Eddnn M. Colson is director of the Teacher Training Department, and Prof. C. W. Florence is superintendent of the Sunday school. At 4 o'clock, the sermon was delivered to the students who will be graduated from the Institute at the regular mid-winter commencement on January 28th. The speaker of the occasion was Dr. Ryland, of Richmond University. Dr. Ryland is a quiet but impressive speaker. His message had a ring of truth and sincerity which made it very effective. His subject was, "We Are the Salt of the Earth." The commencement exercises will be held in the Institute chapel Friday evening, January 28th, at which time Dr. Clark, of Virginia Union University, will deliver the address. Colored Population Washington, Jan. 25.—The colored population of Roanoke, Va., in 1920, the census bureau announced today, was 9,300, or 18.3 per cent of the total population, as compared with 7,924, or 22.7 per cent in 1910. The white population of Roanoke was 41,530, an increase of 14,585, or 54.1 per cent, and all others, 12. DR. DuBOIS IN LECTURE, "PAN- AFRICAN CONGRESS" AT BANK STREET CHURCH --- On Wednesday evening, February 2, 1921, the citizens of Norfolk will have the rare privilege and honor of hearing two of the most intellectual men of the race. These two men are worthy of emulation, and each could be taken as an ideal in his sphere. Zeta Lambda Chacec, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, has arranged to have these two distinguished men give to the citizens a most wonderful and encouraging message, and will therefore give their hearers unusual messages. No man, woman, or child can well afford to miss such a rare treat. The two men of whom we speak are the Rev. Chas, Satchel Morris and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois. Rev. Morris is a man of no mean ability, and needs no introduction to a Norfolk audience. For here he has labored hard and zealously, and some of his best work has been done within the gates of Norfolk. He is a man pregnant with facts, and ripened by experiences. His ability as an orator is known throughout the State, and if only Dr. Morris were to speak, the people would be richly rewarded. Dr. Morris will have the honor of introducing Dr. DuBois, who will give to the audience facts concerning the "Pan African Congress," which he had the honor of being its first president. Dr. DuBois, editor and noted scholar, had the distinction of calling this congress in Paris, France, December, 1918. During this time the whole country was in a very unsettled condition, and especially Paris, the seat of the French Government. But Dr. DuBois, with his rare ability, far- DR. W. E. B. DUROIS sightedness, and shrewdness, succeeded in getting a hearing in those times, when the very souls of men were being tried, and was therefore able to call and establish an organization. Dr. DuBois will be filled with first-hand information, and in a masterly way relate the facts and events leading up to and pertaining to this important assemblage. In September of this year, the second meeting will be Errors Error proof b tion of your mo proof safe. The Burrough recently installed racy.

B. YOUNG, President G. H. FRANCIS, Vice-President LEVI G. B. J. EUGENE DIGGS, Gen. Counsel M. R. JAC called at Paris, at which time very essential and important issues will be thrashed out. Dr. DuBois is a hundred per cent. American and believes that every American citizen should and is entitled to every right and privilege vouchsafed him under the Federal Constitution, regardless of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." He is an able speaker, and will handle his subject in such a way that all will know and understand. Every clear-minded, wholesouled and liberty-loving American respects, and honors such a man. The citizens of Norfolk and vicinity will have the opportunity to hear this man in person, and since the Norfolkians are one hundred per cent Americans and are in hearty co-operation with such men, it is believed that they will avail themselves of this opportunity to hear Dr. DuBois. Zeta Lambda Chapter purposes to establish scholarships for worthy students. In order to encourage, foster and promote thrift and intellect among the youths of our race, and particularly those of Norfolk and vicinity, who are desirous of attending out-of-town schools, to this end she is bringing Dr. DuBois to help in this noble cause. It is earnestly hoped that every true and race-loving American will respond to such a cause and help to do things that are going to count in the years to come. TARBORO, N. C. The B. Y. P. U. program at the Union Baptist church was very instructive on last Sunday. The program was rendered by the leader, Miss M. L. Garrett, and members of Group No. 4, of the Union. A very interesting paper was read by Miss Ruth Whitley, commending the Union for its accomplishments during the past years. She especially commended the Union for educating one African child through its missionary collections. Misses Susanna Mathewson and Queen I. Whitley read very good papers, telling the Union of its possibilities for improvement. Those present received a treat. Rev. Thurston, pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church, preached two powerful sermons on last Sunday. He is an able and strong minister. The Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society had a very good meeting at the home of Mrs. Babara Smith on last Tuesday evening. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Robert Bryant. Miss Muttie R. Smith, one of our graded school teachers, spent the week end at home, Scotland Neck, N. C. The old Eastern Roanoke Union will meet here on next Sunday with the St. Paul Baptist church.

Mt. Zion church is grateful to Rev Malloy for the wonderful message he brought, and the congregation for their presence and generosity in their help, financially. With the annual conference just a few weeks off, members of Mt. Zion web are urged and requested to see their leaders and pay dollar money. Miss Mamie Mackey has returned to Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C., to resume her studies. CAPEVILLE, VA.

A. clubs, are two especially pleasant ones, a pound party and a hike. The former was the result of an appeal from the 10-year-old member of a destitute family. His pathetic story of his sick mother, a widow with five children, and a call made by the club leader proving his story true, brought ready response from the members. A poud party was the popular suggestion, and the next day, January 14th, the president, Miss Frankley Turner, and a committee surprised the little home with nearly twenty pounds of groceries donated by the girls. The hike was the program for Lee's birthday. The frosty temperature said early hour deterred a part of the group but the others refused to give up. Arriving at the proposed termination of the trip, the home of the Misses Small, in South Norfolk, the hiking party continued their tramp to the homes of several schoolmates living in the vicinity, and returned about 4:30 p. m., none the worse for their trip. "We find and give the best in life, The world needs us." Frankley Turner, president; Olive C. Cesar, leader. During the absence of the Girls' Work Secretary, Miss Mary Stewart was in charge of the club work. She was assisted by Misses Perry, Lawrence, Cesar and Friman. Sunday, January 23rd, the Happy Hearts Club rendered a program at the afternoon service of the Bathel church. All club girls are urged to attend their regular meetings. Plans of importance are to be considered. The Association will launch its annual campaign very soon. In 1920, the goal was $4,000, but the cash returns were only $2110.30. This year the plan is to go over the top. Early in February, the Association will hold its annual meeting. The attendance will be the largest of any meeting held during the year. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The great meeting at the Attucka Theatre last Sunday, with Judge Harrison, speaker, marked the thirty-third anniversary of the Queen Street Association. This meeting will be spoken of at length elsewhere in the columns of this paper, but the association desires to thank especially the members of the Bank Street Sunday school orchestra and the Southland Singers who rendered such excellent music for that occasion. Our committee planned two great meetings for the last Sundays in January. The next and last of these will be held next Sunday, January 30th, at the First Baptist church, Bute street, at 3:30 p. m., and will be addressed by one of the most noted divinces of the city, the Rev. Drye Hutchison. The celebrated Southland Singers will present a special program of music. It is the policy of the association this year in all of her big public meetings to present programs of such merit that the people can hardly afford to miss them. We are expecting another record-breaking crowd Sunday afternoon. Nearly all of our dormitory rooms are occupied now by men who have come to spend. th e winter,a din sh us busy trying to make room for transients. SENT TO JAIL Wilson, N.

Foreman) The executive committee of the Norfolk Civic League met at the office of Dr. S. F. Coppage, Thursday night, January 20th, and held a round table discussion of several matters that vitally effect the interests of our group in this city just now. There were also present several interested citizens who are prominently active in movements for civic betterment and political advancement for the race. Prominent among the items that came up for serious consideration were the condition of many of the streets in sections of the city where the bulk of colored citizens live, and the condition of management of some of the city schools. It was pointed out by some of the speakers that at least two of the city's best schools for colored were virtual fire traps and that they were not only likely to precipitate a serious disaster involving the loss of many young lives, but are a constant menace to all surrounding property. The meeting was a very enthusiastic and interesting one, and after thoroughly considering the various matters that came up for discussion the committee and those present decided to resume the regular meetings of the League, beginning Thursday, February 3rd, and organize a citywide movement for the betterment of conditions. Several ladies were present and showed a marked interest in the examination by the chairman of the brouder scope of activities covered in the general program of the League. All voters, actual and prospective, male and female, are invited to join the League, attend its meetings, and enter into its discussions, as it is only through a large, united centralized organization that we can hope for relief from the conditions that oppress us.

He impressed upon his hearers the meaning of a pure heart. At 8 p.m., he chose for his theme, Eccl. 12:1—"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." The truth that he laboured to impress his congregation with was to remember their Creator in the days of youth, when the heart will readily receive his goodness. The B. Y. P.

BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH The services at the Bank Street Baptist church last Sunday were as beautiful and inspiring as the day, not withstanding the fact that two of them were the last sad rites of the dead, for they, too, may be beautiful with all of their attending sorrows. As usual, the services were begun promptly at 11:30, with an anthem which expressed the spirit of worship which was very obviously the sentiments of those who had attended upon the services. The pastor preached from Psalms 125:2, "As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people from henceforth ever forevermore." The words of this text with the very apt application which was placed upon them remain with us, as a great source of protection and comfort. At 1:30 o'clock and 3 o'clock, respectively, the funeral services of Mrs Jethro Washington and Sister Mary Johnson, were preached by the pastor. At the evening services, Rev. Bro Mills preached.

DURHAM, N. C. Dr. Alex Beasley SPECIALIST Norfolk. Va. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES TWO ADDITIONAL SAVINGS SECURITIES FIRST COLONY TO SAIL FOR BRAZIL IN JUNE No Color Line and Fertile Soil, With Mild Climate Is Fast Gaining the Attention of Thoughtful Men of the Race-Government to Help A movement widely endorsed by the leaders of the colored race in America has been continued as a permanent policy by the U. S. Treasury Department. Secretary of the Treasury Houston has announced that the issue of Government Savings Securities will be continued throughout 1921 and that the work of the Savings Division of the Treasury in promoting national habits of thrift and safe investment will be continued and intensified. Among no group of citizens has the use of these safe and profitable forms of saving and investment been more satisfactory and beneficial than among the Negro race and their continuance will enable many workers to continue habits of thrift and provision for the future the loss of which would be a national as well as an individual caamity. The Treasury announces that the needs of the workers have brought about the determination to issue two additional savings securities during the coming year. These will be a $1 Savings Stamp and a registered Savings Certificate of $25 denomination. Secretary Houston in making the announcement says: "Two new Treasury saving securities will be issued during the year, a $1 Treasury Savings Stamp and a $25 Treasury Savings Certificate. The $1 stamp is non-interest bearing, is bright red, imprinted on a green tint, and bears the portrait of Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury. The $25 certificate is similar in design and terms to the $100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates, also offered in 1921, to mature January 1, 1926. "The new securities supply a $1 unit for saving and a registered Government security in the $25 denomination, which can be conveniently purchased through the accumulation of the $1 Treasury Savings Stamps. More important still, the new securities will complete a most attractive line of Government savings securities, the $1 stamp and the $25, $100 and $1,000 registered Treasury Savings Certificates, and thus place the Treasury Savings movement on a solid peace-time basis. The small denomination war-time securities, the $5 War Savings Stamp, in a 1921 series, and the 25 cent Thrift Stamp, are also offered. "Notwithstanding the reaction since the armistice from habits of saving, and the natural tinderace last year to invest funds in Liberty bonds and Victory notes at current market prices, the demand for the savings securities has continued strong in many parts of the country. As the security markets become more settled, Treasury savings securities, bearing interest at 4 per cent compounded quarterly, exempt from State and local taxes and from the normal Federal income tax, and Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, S. A., Jan. 20.—The Brazilian government has out the official stamp of its approval on the plans of the Brazilian-American Colonization Syndicate. It has been officially determined that the first colony of American colonists shall be set up in the State of Matto Grosso within a few miles of Cuyaba, the capital of the State. This situation is in the very center of one of the richest sections in the whole Brazilian Republic. The present value of the land is $3.25 an acre. Under the intensive farming system employed among the greater number of American farmers, in and out of the cotton district, this value, in a short time, should literally jump to ten times this value. Virgin soil, an equitable climate and the kindly supervisory interest of the national Brazilian government combine to make this chance a golden one in every particular. Particular attention has been given to the housing problems that will naturally arise in the colony for solution. Ample provisions have been provided by the national government to meet the demands in this connection. When a settler has paid his $800.00 for his 100 hectares (247 acres), a three-room house will be built for him at a cost of $250.00, which must be paid in advance. This plan insures a high grade of settlers for the solony and makes it an easy matter to maintain a high degree of community co-operation. The first group of settlers will leave New York City on the 21st of next June. No "color line," a climate fit for the gods, a soil rich as gold in its productive power, and a government strong in its dispensations of the law, vet kindly in its official supervision of the people's interests, all go to make Brazil a most desirable "garden spot" for all and any who want to breathe the pure social and industrial air of a true democracy. "This is the ole I have long desired to know about," shouted an enthusiastic prospective colonist not long since. "Here is where I throw my hat in the ring of a new life and proceed to live for God and humanity." Enthusiasm has even gripped the natives since the government has given its approval to the plan of the Brazilian-American Syndicate. Old residents of Rio Janiro declare that the American Negro is the only kind of emigrant to encourage to come into the country. Besides ties of blood they possess the tropical nature in a degree that will make them easily assimilable and therefore easily nationalized. In any NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE DEPARTMENT TO TWO ADDITIONAL NGS SECURITIES redeemable substantially on demand, should prove increasingly attractive, particularly to the multitude of small investors. "With these considerations in mind, the Treasury is committed to the continued sale of Government savings securities, and feels that as time goes on continuous sales of savings securities over the counter, at post-offices and banks throughout the country, should play an increasingly important part in the current financing of the Government. "To this end, the Treasury is also committed to the continuance of the work of the Savings Division, in Washington and in the several Federal Reserve districts. This organization endeavors to promote-the popular purchase of Government Savings Securities; develops and protects the secondary market for Liberty bonds a-d Victory notes and other war issues of Government securities, and unites the efforts of all helpful agencies and movements, financial, industrial, educational, commercial and social, in a broad savings campaign to make perma ent the habits of saving and investment in United States Government securities. Its work along these lines will be intensified in 1921. "The Treasury Savings Movement has already demonstrated its usefulness by its efforts to promote sound economic conditions throughout the country and disseminate sound economic doctrine. In fact, the work of the Savings Division last year, not only in promoting the sale of Government Savings Securities and in strengthening the secondary market for Liberty bonds, but in establishing widespread habits of thrift and saving, has been frequently recognized as meeting a great national need. That recognition has been strikingly emphasized by the requests of great national organizations that the savings work be continued and by their offers of active co-operation in the movement. "The work of the Savings Division has been splendidly successful in the schools, with the children and as well with the leaders of educational thought in America. As a result, the committee of State Superintendents of Public Instruction, which has just met in Washington, has decided to urge every State Superintendent and Commissioner of Education to install thrift courses in every school and at the same time provide for the practice of the principles taught by offering means for sound investment. "In responding to these demands from great national organizations, the Savings Division will intensify during 1921 its campaign to spread broadcast the essential facts relative to wise saving and spending and the continued development of new capital."

Y.-The Negro Grand Opera Company, Inc., has been incorporated at the Secretary of State's office with a capital stock of $60,000, with the object of fostering the production of grand opera among Negroes. The directors are H. Laurence Freeman, Waldo L. Freeman and Carletta L. Freeman, all of New York City. Jeffersonville, Ind., Jan. 15.—A crowd of several hundred men marched to the county jail tonight and demanded surrender to them of a Negro, held in connection with an assault upon a white woman here. The jailer refused to surrender the prisoner and urged the crowd to let the law take its course. Police did not interfere with the mob, which filled the streets in front of the jail. Meantime, keepers turned off the lights in the jail and it was reported that the man had been spirited away. Hedley Mowbray sat before the grate and gazed long and seriously at its few dying embers. After pressing her lips sadly across a written sheet in her hand she slowly but deliberately tore it into strips and let it fall into the fire. Her lips tightened, a tremor of emotion swept her face. Then she seemed to determine on some definite action in regard to the theme occupying and distressing her mind, and she allowed the fragments of paper to consume without a whine or quiver, although they had held words that had for a time aroused all the eager longing of yearning love. What now became ashes had been a letter from Hector Dumne. He, Helen and her younger sister Lois had been friends in Woodville for some time Helen had come to the city with Lois to visit an munt. Lois had returned home a few days previous, but Helen had remained. That morning the letter had come from Hector Dumne, in mainly a humble appeal for her love Would she decide to become his wife when she returned to Woodville? A month since this missive would have made Helen the happiest girl in the world. Just now it rendered her first unadmitted and wavering and then wretched. A strange thing had happened. She loved Lois as the very apple of her eye. She had guarded, chewed, treasured her since she was a child, ready to sacrifice everything for her sake. This devotion had been a sacred solemn promise to her mother when the latter died, and Helen had not been neglectful of an faithful in a single respect. And an hour after Lois and gone Helen had found that her sister had unwittingly left behind her a private diary in which for years she had chronicle all the events of her life, and there on a recently written page was a record that fairly crushed Helen for the time being. It read: "I dare not yet tell Helen as yet of my happiness complete, but oh! how she will love Hector as I do when she knows that he has shown every indication of selecting me above all others as the empress of his heart." Lois was in love with Hector Duane, never dreaming that his thoughts were fixed upon another! What should she do? The happiness of Lois was everything to Helen. Perhaps Hector had wavered to a choice between the two sisters. An impulse might have led to his fixing his selection upon Lois. It would break the tender heart of Hector to lose the first object of her gritish affection. Helen Mowhay decided to make the supreme sacrifice of her life. She must do all she could to secure the happiness of the sister she so cherished, be the heart pain and disappointment what it might to herself. So the very next day through Elles Duvan, her closest friend, a letter went to Woodville, the contents of which as she realized and planned would soon be spread broadcast and would reach Hector. It indicated that Helen had received the attentions of a wealthy young man well known in the city, plainly hinted that an engagement was pending and in a brief, but courteous note Helen declined the honor Hector Dunne had proffered. "I will do what seems to be my duty," she murmured, but brokenly, "I hope Lois will win him and insure her happiness. She would not have written the way she lina in her diary, if there was not some evidence of his having shown her encouraging attentions at some time or other. Thus Helen planned and believed. She did not hear from Hector Dunne again. There were, however, letters from Lois and one finally that read: "I have been keeping a deep secret from you, sister dear. I am engaged. To whom? You shall know in my next letter." And two days later there arrived another letter from Lois that fairly stunned Helen, for it read: "I am engaged to Hector Waltham. You never knew him, but he is a young man you will truly admire and esteem. a stranger in Woodville, but he is of an excellent family and oh! he loves me so deeply." Helen was sick at heart at the complication, her sacrificial sisterly action had brought about. She decided to go back home, but hopeless of ever regaining the happiness she had lost. Fato favored her, however. She had left the train at a connecting point just at dusk at a little way station, and on the next train to arrive who should appear but Hector, the "real" Hector! He was consciously over-courious towards her, but when they learned that the train to Woodville was two hours late and the cold urged him to build a fire in the lonely station heater, and he was so attentive in insuring her comfort, it seemed as if she must confess all to him. "I am going abroad," he had told her, and the statement was so tinged with an undercurrent of sadness that Helen broke down utterly. Ohl confession was, indeed, good for the soul. In his brightening face Helen read no reproach for the past, only hope and joy. He loved her the more dearly for her sisterly love, and there in that cheerless, lonely way station their mutual love was crowned with the sure promise of a golden future. "He thinks his dancee is sweet enough to eat." "I suppose that is why he is continually devouring her with his eyes." If you are in earnest about bettering your position in life, make this your motto, "Save First—Spend Afterwards." Thrift and Savings Stamps give you an opportunity to put your small savings to work. Intelligent thrift is not the mania of the miser. It does not mean saving money for money's sake. It means the expenditure of money with a clear whim of your needs both present and It is better to start in time than to wait until the very last minute in preparing your Federal Income Tax Return for last year.

Stockholders of V. H. S. C. Hold Annual Meeting (J. S. Collins) Caroline County, Va., Jan. 27.—The stockholders of the Virginia Home Supply Corporation held their annual meeting at the Shiloh Baptist church, Bowling Green, on Monday, of last week, with the largest attendance ever recorded by the organization. The church was filled comfortably with merely standing room left. The reports showed that the minimum capital stock of $20,000.00 had been over subscribed and that, in spite of the failure to secure a good market for their produce, the people have kept up their payments remarkably well. The stockholders authorized and instructed the directors, who were elected at said meeting, to proceed with the building operations as soon as weather conditions warrant. The outstanding feature of the occasion was an address by Attorney J. Thomas Hewin, Counsel for the Corporation, of Richmond, Va., who is regarded as one of the safest and most conservative advisers to be found among the colored people anywhere. Among other things he said that Caroline County was in a class by itself in undertaking to carry out so broad a program, and that the county had just cause to be proud of such a movement having a beginning within its borders. HAMPTON INST. DEFEATS SHAW (By Charles H. Williams) Hampton, Va., Jan. 24.—The Shaw University quintet went down to defeat for the second time this season before the onslaught of the Hampton Institute basket ball tossers on Friday night, January 21st. The game was played in the spacious 'Raleigh city auditorium, which is considered one of the best basket ball courts in the country. Even the weather man was kind. One of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds that ever attended a game in Raleigh was on hand to cheer Shaw on to victory. There was confidence because Shaw had lost to Hampton, 17 to 18 on the latter's court during the holiday game, and because the Shaw team is considered this year the best ever turned out at the University. At the sound of the referee's whistle, Raleigh's greatest game of the season was on. Hampton began the scoring and kept the lead until the last minute of the first half, when Hardy made a long basket, giving Shaw an 11 to 10 lead. This spectacular performance brought the great approval of the most discriminating audience. It is indeed class and quality throughout. A special school children's matinee will be given in order that the hundreds of children of Norfolk will have an opportunity to see and hear Miss Smith. Seats will be placed on sale at an early date. Another record crowd is expected. crowd to its feet. At this time there was wild rejoicing. During the intermission the University band enlivened the occasion. The joy of the Shaw rooters was of brief duration, however, for at the beginning of the second half the Hampton five opened with a dash that held the spectators-breathless and dazzled the Shaw players. Hampton's passing and shooting, with her great defensive playing in this half, held Shaw to five points, while she rolled up eighteen points. It was evident soon after the opening of this half the that "Seasiders" had the better team and that the hopes of the Shaw followers would not be realized this season. Hardy, a former Hampton player, was easily the star for the local team, while the entire Hampton aggregation plied as a machine. The guarding of both teams was close, which made the playing at times rough. There was fine spirit, however, throughout the game, and the Shaw rooters declared, at the sound of the timekeepers' whistle, that the better team had won. (By The Associated Negro Press) Charleston, W. Va., Jan. 26.—The passage of an anti-lych law and provision for a Negro regiment with Negro officers as part of the national guard by the State legislature and the adoption of a federal anti-lych law and the enforcement of the 18th amendment to the federal constitution by reducing Southern representation in Congress were recommended in resolutions adopted by the West Virginia State League of Colored People. About 75 colored men and women from 18 counties and the State were present at the meeting, which was held at the Knights of Pythias Hall T. Edward Hill, of McDowell county, president, made the opening address setting forth the purpose of the league and recommending that action be taken on a number of subjects of interest to colored peopole. He said that it should not be the policy of the league either to endorse individuals for political office or to concern itself with appointments under State or national governments, but rather do work for the enactment of such legislation as will make for the advancement of the race along civic, moral, educational, industrial, and political lines and to enclose the enactment of harmful legislation.
