WE ARE TO SHARE IN STREET IMPROVEMENTS It was gratifying information for a large part of Norfolk's citizenship, published in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of January 29th, as given out by City Manager Ashburner, that the Afro-American sections of the city of Norfolk were to have street improvements, a small part at a time, until they all should have them. This is as it should be. The Afro-American tax-payers of the city are entitled to so much of consideration from the city fathers, not only as an assurance of their own health and conveniences, as well as beautification of their districts, but as an assurance to all of the citizens, who are benefited alike by such improvements. The streets of Norfolk should all be paved and have plenty of water and water connections. Health requires it. If it can't all be done at once, some of it should be done and from time to time additions to the work should be made so that in time all of the city should have such commonplace but absolutely essential and necessary conveniences, which are insiparable from city life without inducing bad health conditions. We have no direct voice in the city government, but we pay our share of the taxation necessary to defray the expenses of city government, and we should always, therefore, on this account, have proper consideration in expenditure of the taxation for the general health and convenience, of sections of the city, when they are not good, affect the health conditions of all sections of the city. That is too well known to need enlarged discussion of it, but the truth of it can often be restated. We are gratified that the city fathers have decided at last to give us a measure of relief in the matter of pavements, and we should not forget those of them who are concerned in giving it to us, and we reasonably expect as we go along that we shall have relief for other necessary improvements as urgently needed as street improvements. During the past eight years the Democratic party has made such encroachments on the principle of State's rights, or upon the rights reserved to the States and not delegated to the Federal Government, as to quite destroy the principle. Time was when the Federal Government reached the individual citizen in a very small and inconsiderable way; now it reaches him in all of the relations of life. Its taxing power has been extended so that he feels the grind of it in all that enters into his living expenses, his health, his work and wages, and even in his housing. Senator Carter Glass fetched out this point strongly in his recent discussion of direct and indirect taxation. The Democratic party used to stickle even unto death for the most complete separation of the functions of the States and Federal Government, and even went to war to enforce so much of the principle as was involved in the right of the States to control it. During the past eight years the Democratic party has quite reversed itself upon the principle of State's rights, and has, as the administrators of National affairs, enlarged in a wonderful way the functions, if not the powers, of the National Government at the expense of the State governments. In discussing the statement of Mr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, made recently at Atlanta, that he has the promise of President-elect Harding that a National Anti-Lynching law should be passed by Congress, and that he, Johnson, intended to remain in Washington until such a law should be enacted, a leading Southern daily newspaper said that, if the Nation desired to have an Irish condition of affairs in the United States it would be only necessary for Congress to enact such legislation as would it interfere with the domestic affairs of the States. The Irish condition of affairs today is one in which the Irish mob is met by a British mob, both being classed as organized military forces operated under the direction of their respective governments. The present attitude of the leaders of Southern political thought appears to be that the Government can be used for every possible purpose, from the financing of cotton and other production of agriculture to furnishing free seed to farmers, as well as so much indirect aid to education as can be smuggled in without Government supervision of the schools benefited. The only point on which they draw the line against National interference is the matter of protecting the life and property of the citizen from mob violence, perpetrated with the convince or the toleration of the State governments concerned. The people of the United States have reached the conclusion in their philosophy that the right of the National Government to protect the life and property of its citizens, when the individual States neglect to so do, is a National power imbedded in the Constitutional amendments growing out of the Civil War. If the States do not want the National Government to invoke this power they must give the individual citizen adequate protection to his life and property. That is a surety. --- WAGES OF LABOR AND COST OF PRODUCTION Harper's Weekly, which stands very near the incoming Republican Administration, in discussing proposed tariff legislation and the question of unemployment, which is increasing instead of diminishing, with the "open shop" as an issue, says: "The cause is nearer the surface. It is interlocked all the way through with the that refusant person. You can continue paying war prices for commodities when the excuse for such prices no longer exists. The crazy money-squandering spree is over. Prices are falling everywhere because the artificial props which held them aloft have been knocked from under. Thousands of people, people, people, are booked to pocket losses. Some are accepting the situation as it is. Others are stubbornly against the situation. In the end, the yield. And among those who must yield are those who have been receiving fantastic prices because they must come down as the cause of everything else is coming down. The level-headed American who works for wages sees that the people in those who pay wages. He is governing himself accordingly." The question of the wages of labor and the cost of production to consumers is one of the most pressing questions always in our industrialism. No group of workers and consumers is more interested in it than the Afro-American group, largely because they are at a greater disadvantage as wage-earners and consumers of production than any other group of the citizenship. They do not have equal opportunities to work in all employments and they do not always receive the same rate of wages in the employments they do work as other groups of the citizenship. It is to the advantage of Afro-American wage-earners and consumers of production, therefore, that wages and the cost of production to consumers shall adjust themselves from war conditions, and in fairness to all concerned, as soon as possible. The contention of organized labor that war-time wages and conditions of labor shall prevail in times of peace affects Afro-Amricaners more than it does others, and it is to be hoped that there will be a species readjustment of the controversy, so that housing, clothing, and food stuffs may be reduced to the old time normality. Ode to Business Men of Harrisonburg (U. G. Wilson) I know the writer you'll excuse, if he, for want of other news, Takes up his paper and his pen, To write up Harisonburg business men. First comes the Joint Stock Company Store; Where things you need are found galley; From watches with a crimson head, To light and wholesome bakers' bread. Canned goods, and washing soap and spice, Sweet meat, molasses, tea and rice, White sugar, also unrefined. Fresh butter, plain and printed kind. Bologna sausage, cakes and cheese, Soup beans and good old black-eyed peas, Yes, all these things and then some more, You'll find up at the company store. Page Mitchell has a winning turn, And handle well this great concern, And chief clerk Johnson, well we know In doing much to make it go. For barber shops, run up to date. Three men we must congratulate: Chas. Nickens, in a modest way, Does splendid work for modest pay. Rev. Jenkins, at the People's shop, For sanitation can't be beat; And even when he cuts your hair You do not need to go elsewhere. But Turner, up on North Main St., For sanitation can't be beat; And life and health depend on that, So off to him comes my old hat. The parliars on E. Water street, Where men of leisure find retreat, For business methods has renown, For this, give praise to L. H. Brown. If you would quench a parching thirst On soft drinks till you nearly burst, Or start a bay, or double face, Just eat at J. C. Hohn's place. Go just above the Company Store, For water on the second floor, You'll find Geo. Newman and his son, Insuring people just for fun. They visit you on Mondays quick, But pay you promptly when you're E'en though you be confined in bed, And bury you when you are dead. Just two men more, I'll introduce, They're Strother Well and Willie Bruce. Both men are fitted very fine, To do good service in their line. Bruce works just east of Courthouse square. Call Strother's home; you'll find him They'll clean, press, and repair for you. Just try them and you'll find it true. The men who on this list appear Almost all that they do business with But just to make right here a rhyme, I'll mention more another time.

Alfred Wilkinson Press Opinion Richmond's Colored Citizens Richmond's census figures relating to the division of the races are enlightening only as to the proportion of whites and Negroes, and the percentage of increase of each race during the last ten years. The figures show that the city has 117,565 whites, n increase from 63.5 per cent, while here are 64,047 Negroes, a decrease n their percentage from 36.6 to 31.5 Allowing six persons to a family the figures mean that there are approximately 9,000 Negro families in Richmond. Of these families it would be interesting to know how many inside in sanitary houses, how many are crowded together in miserable shacks with no modern conveniences and with no water among families where they may spend infection. All of these things are pertinent, as well for the good of Richmond as for its colored citizens With a population almost one-third colored it may be doubtful if Richmond has done or is doing what ititemt has done or is doing what it should for the Negroes. Hundreds of families occupy modern houses and are comfortably situated, but their good fortune has come about through their own industry and thrift. Other hundreds, may, thousands, in Jackson Ward and other colored residential districts in dilipidated houses, where even the most ordinary rules of sanitation are not observed, and in many cases cannot be seen in the neglect. By these the city's health is endangered, and the quicker the city remedies such conditions the better it will be for the people generally. To the Negroes themselves it is a matter of elementary justice. With a population of 54,047 colored people, it might seem to people that Richmond would have a race problem, but such a problem is lacking here except in its simplest essentials, which are recognized and accepted by the members of both races. In other words, the people in the record, the colored people are as a rule industrious, honest and thrifty, troubles which bedevil other cities are not present here, and such organizations as the Ku-klux Klan are absurdities resented by both races. With such happy conditions prevailing, with both races in mutual accord and respect, Richmond cannot afford to neglect its colored citizens. It must see that they are well housed, that all modern amenities are available, that everything possible be done in order that they may remain a happy, contented and a healthy people—The Richmond Times-Dispatch. THE LABOR QUESTION Up to a few years ago one of the great questions confronting white Southern labor unions was the racial question. This question has been determined to the labor movement in the South for decades. It comes when the white Southern wage-workers awakened to the fact that this prejudice against the colored workers only increased competition among them, and thereby to keep wages down. Today the old time prejudice has practically disappeared. This is one reason why the American Labor Movement has been such a success. This is one reason—the great reason—is because of the basic principle governing the American Federation of Labor which insists: "There shall be no discrimination against Creed, Colored, or African American thus giving to each affiliated individual an opportunity to live according to the American standard. From close personal observation by the editor of the Union Advertiser, Colored does not crave social equality; he does not however, industrial equality, which he is entitled to—and guaranteed—by the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE te. laws of the American Federation of Labor, and of the American Workers Association this he continued to compete with the white mechanics and laborers at lower wages, and this was exactly what employers wanted—"Competition among the colligants. Now, now where the Negro is unionized, this competition is eliminated. The time was when there existed considerable agitation among Southern employers against organizing the white workmen. The agitation is apparent today. Sometimes force prevented such organizing, yet these same employers did not hesitate to organize the shop and sometimes on the same workbench with white toilers. We have them now for our "helper" in the shop and sometimes on our engines or in our boiler room and where, and, when unionized, we welcome them. Yet, at one time, we were used—used—to organize them. The employer works for you, ever failed to; see the employer use these unorganized Negroes against the white workmen when the white workmen were not; it is the "other way about" when the white workman is used as a club against the black workman. Today, the Negro is organized, this trick is the ever present. Organized-Union Labor affiliates have forgotten past industrial differences, remembering only that as long as the ethical can perform work at any part of the job, it is competitor, not only for our job but for the living we give to our family. Consequently, we have eliminated this issue by organizing the unorganized—white and colored—teaching them the principles of trade unionism as laid down by the treaty, and by we all may live. We are mutually independent—Union Advertiser. MADE WAY INTO SACRED CITY Englalman Claims to Be the Only Living European Who Has Set Foot in Holy Shefshaon. The Morocco correspondent of the London Times claims to be "almost with certainty" the only living European who has hitherto visited Sheshawan, the mysterious "secret" Moroccan inland city which is officially stated to be occupied by a Spanish expeditionary force. Sheshawan, or more correctly Sheshaun, he writes, is a small town of a few thousand inhabitants situated in the triballand of the Beni Zejel, about 40 miles to the south of Tetum. The Times man says he visited it in Moorish disguise in 1888 and only escaped with difficulty. He said that the town is small, built using a set of terraces on the high mountain side, and is renovated for its springs and streams. With the exception of its picturesque situation among mountains, its aloofness and its surrounding gardens, Sheshawan presents no very particular features. Its inhabitants are poor. Their industries are the making of furniture in painted wood—bruckets and tables—and the weaving of woolen stuffs. They are renowned for their meanness, and a native proverb states: "If you see a Moslem, merchant from Foz weeping, it is only a Moor of Shishawan, who could have, got the better of him." PARODIES ALWAYS IN ORDER Omar Khayam and the Ever-Delightful Pep Perch. The Exam Ex-haunted the Litt. Does your memory go back to the time when everyone was writing parodies of the Rubatayal of Omar Khuyam? When it was considered very literary to know all about Omar, and when all the writers, both would be and professional, were reducing the hypnotic quintuples to modern terms? The newspapers were full of "Omars Up-to-dute," and quite a lot of them got into the magazines before the craze died down. After that parodists sought other inspiration, but found no material that suited them quite so well, until a few years ago, one of them chanced on the Diary of Samuel Peppys. What a rich vein. The parodists went mad over it, and have been digging there ever since. Almost anybody can fill up a column with chronicles in the Peppys style, while the clever writer, by this time, has become a writer. Some other original genius will soon take the place of Mr. Peppys in the regard of the copyists, for the popularity of the creative masters of literature is more or less changeful, dependent upon time or circumstances, while the work of the parodist goes on forever—Ohio State Journal. British Warship Badges. The British admiralty has decided to provide every British warship in future with its own distinctive badge. These are being designed by Maj. Charles Foukles, hereditary adviser to the admiralty, who has already invented 150 badges. Considerable ingenuity has been exercised, as the following examples will show: Venturous, two dice; Sportive, a buitting goat; Tactician, a 'chess knight; Inconstant, a butterfly; Sesame, a key; Sterling, f; Watchful, an eye; Vivacious, head of Mr. Lloyd George; Ternagut, a fury; Nile, head of Nelson; Truculent, Brillisher smashing a Hun. Each badge will be carved in wood and then cast in brass, colored, and fitted on the quarterdeck, as well as on either bow of the boat. Two plaques on the back of the smaller for the boats being the eight inches square, and the one for the quarterback about 18 inches square. Each badge is designed in some way to represent the name of the boat pictorial, or when that is impossible, embedding some devices connected with its history. The designs will be used also on note paper, and probably on the brass muzzle-caps of guns, which are privately bought by officers of battleships. Flat Feet Treatment Successful. Flat Feet Treatment Successful. War experiences have changed our views about flat feet. It was at one time assumed that individuals so affected were destined to lead sedentary lives, and that they were disqualified from partaking in vocations requiring the constant use of the feet, such as military service. This erroneous idea is still universal in Europe and to a large extent in America. It is in weak feet that the bones of the arch drop to the ground, the muscles and ligaments be so weak and flabby that they cannot hold up the arch. The muscles and ligaments in the most chronic cases, the prolapse bones will gradually rise until they reach their normal height. SAILORS HOLD ODD BELIEFS Salt-Water Mariners Cling With Tenacity to Many Superstititions at Which Landsman Laughs. Nearly all ships carry a horsesehose. Usually it is united somewhere in the stern. The horsesehose has been a fetish with sailors ever since Nelson nailed one to the mast of the Victory. Sailors have many superstitious. A sailor who wears a baby's can feel himself immune from death by drowning. And after a long trip the sailor who first sights land will have a good voyage home. Jack becomes decidedly uneasy if he hears "lub-lubber fling" on the ocean. Therefore, if ever you are a passenger not let him see the door to the deck of a ship as the "door," or the apprehension as the "slats" or the alleyway as the "lobby" or "passage." It is bad form, and whistling. Whistling at sea stirs up evil winds. A cuttish swimming on top of the waves also bettoms a storm. A squall may be expected when an albatross altons on the deck or when a seagull flies between the foremast and the mainmast. But if the seagull flies between the mainmast and the mizunzen fair winds will prevail. Cats are considered unucky to on board ship. Up to the last twenty years most sailors wear earrings for luck. No sailor will shoot at birds for fear of being hit. The sailor will kill to kill a petret. These birds, called by sailors "Mother Carey's chickens"—a corruption of "Mafer Cara" (mother dearest)—are the sailor's friends. They give warning of an approaching storm. Legend has it that each of these birds bears the soul of a dead sennam—London Times. MULE BALKED AT EXECUTION Obstinate to the Last, Animal Compelled to completely Humble His Revilero It was white serving as a scout under General Sheiridim in his campaign against the Indians in western Kansas that Buffalo Bill, carrying dispatches, had to ride a government mule owing to the scarcity of horses. The mule broke away, and Cody had to walk 35 miles during the night with the animal just in front of him, but always out of "Will, when he got really and truly angry," says his widow, "didn't have the sweetest temper in the world. And by the time the sun rose he was just about ten degrees higher than fever-heat in his attitude toward the mule. Suddenly, the soldiers in Fort Larned heard the sound of a shot about half a mile away. Then another and another and another. When they reached the place where the shooting had occurred they found Will standing over a dead mule, cussing energetically, and the toughest, meanest mule I ever saw in my life. He made me walk all night and I decided that he wouldn't ever do that to another fellow. So I executed him, and I'll be d—d if it didn't take six shots to make him stop kicking." Modern Treasure Islands Situated in the Pacific ocean, nearly midway between America and Asia, is Nauru, a barren bit of rock only twelve miles in circumference. Thirty or forty years ago almost anybody could have had it for the asking. Today it is worth untold millions, owing to the belated discovery that the whole island is neither more nor less than a mass of phosphate rock, soil fertilizer well known to agriculturists. In Conception bay, Newfoundland, is Bell island, sold by its original owner many years ago for $100. It changed hands again for $2,000,000. This enormous rise in value was due to the discovery that the island is composed almost entirely of iron ore. Previously shiny metal had been in abundance of taking the heavy, easily handled rock for ballast, dumping it overboard with the utmost unconcern when they loaded up with cargo. Then one day a captain more curious than the others had the strange-looking "rock" assayed and his fortune was mede. Not of the Usual Sort. A woman who had lived in a certain country town to an age at which her friends had scarcely assumed that she was likely to forage her spinisterhood, suddenly surprised them by announcing her engagement to a local bachelor who was considered rather eccentric. A friend of hers took it upon herself to express some little surprise at the engagement, and when the fancier replied: "But what is it in him you don't like?" answered: "Oh, I don't dislike him." The woman, not that everybody thinks him—well, not that everybody thinks him—well, at any rate, rather singular in many of his ways." "That may be," replied the prospective bride, "but then, he is so very unlike other men, he is surely more likely to make a good husband."—Windser Magazine, London. Piccadilly's Origin. "Tipperary," the marching song which had such a vogue in 1914, refers to Piceadilly, London, England. One story is that the place was named after the Piceadilla hall, where a certain kind of lace much in vogue during the reign of Queen Elizabeth was made. The lace was called piecadilly because of its spear point, a diminutive of pice, a pike or spear. Piecadilly was once famous for its gambling houses. In one of these, run by Watter, the prince regent's cook, Beau Brummel won $75,000 in ten minutes and insisted upon giving one-half to Shearnd. Under an art placed on the London statute book gas will in future be sold at so much a "therm" instead of so much n thousand feet. A therm is the mime given to 100,000 British thermal units, one of the latter being the amount of heat absorbed in raising one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. The first distributor of gas to announce its charges by the therm is the South Metropolitan Gas company, which from the time of reading orders for the Milchmusquarter will charge 21 cents a therm. The gas is declared to contain 550 British thermal units in each cubic foot. Her Gift A young woman was interested in charity work and in one family where she visited there was a little girl whose hair was the same shade as her own. Wishing to show her appreciation for the visitor's kindness, the child called at her home, saying it was a little present for her, and ran away. On opening it out fell the child's lovely braid—the only thing she had in abundance. ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday was a day of great rejoicing. Presiding Elder L.

BIRTHDAY PARTY presentatives in Congress to send them the 'Hearings Before the Committee on the Census, which recently reported the bill repositioning the U.S. to a more illuminating document could scarcely be found than this pamphlet of something more than 200 pages. "The daily press reports at the time gave a glimpse of the gave verbal verb of those who were heard are far more impressive and significant of the state of mind of a not important element in the population of the United States, and States. There all disguises were thrown aside, and if there were any reservations at all they are doubtless comprehended in the significant statement of one deponent who affirmed: 'we are standing on the crater of a volcano.' "The public is aware that the notorious Society for the Advancement of Colored People appeared before the congressional committee, and the officials urged the reduction of Southarre representation in Congress on the alleged ground of the practical distranchissement of the Negro in the South. It is indicted that the laws of the Southern States are equitable, but charged that the administration of them is not. And it may surpass that of the North. That is that this society has a membership of 100,000, principally in the South, and that it numbers among its northern membership such respectable names as that of Moorhead and the contingent of American lawyers. "The representatives of this organization who appeared before the committee were Nerrocos of the Northwest, impressively and with becoming dignity. But the manner in which they were bullied by Southern congressmen, who were members of the committee, presents a humiliation and ability with which the Northern members conducted themselves, though they evidently sympathized with their Southern associates, was highly commendable. It seems quite clear that the South must improve the quality of its representation, if it hopes to retain the respect of the Nation. One cannot imagine Lamur or Gan Ch. G. Harris or Garland playing the role that these men did. "The Southerners showed up somewhat better when they came to deal with the famous Mr. Tikhkam of Massachusetts, who disliked the subject upon which his fame rests. That his weight is light is clearly shown by the fact that his suggestions were ignored by the committee, a majority of the party, and by the House itself, as also Republican. It would seem moreover, that his threatened appeal to the Supreme Court will yield Mr. Tikhkam small comfort, if the past decisions of that triumphant senator as a guide to their future courses. "The Negroes who appeared before the committee were evidently such as are sometimes called 'light completed', for one of the Northern members expressed that they were referred to as a Negro, And the record contains an anning statement from the famous Negro, Lincoln Johnson, of Georgia, whose testimony before an audience had been testing to the influence of prospective postmasterships upon Southern white Republicans, when he was asked: "Did you have any new people working here? And desired to be postmasters?" And his reply was: "Well, there were some of my friends that would not suffer the crown to be offered to them too if they would get it, it would be a virgin experience of theirs." to 9 p. m.

Foreman) We have written quite frequently of late by interested persons who plied us with such interest "What's the matter with the League?" "When are you going to meet again?" "Are you going to let the League die?" etc. So we have decided to devote a portion of our spare time trying to answer some of these queries. As a preface to these, answers we think it would be pertinent to state that the League is composed of a number of Norfolk citizens who have expressed themselves as being not only possessed of a sense of civic and political pride, but who also declared themselves determined to do, persistently and consistently, whatever was in their power in a legitimate way, to obtain their full civil and political rights as American citizens. This being true it is palpable that for the League to continue a living and useful existence, necessary for these said citizens to live up to their original expressions and demands. The League is burdened by Attorneys. The Lauguo is hended by Attorney W. L. Davis as president, Dr. S. F. Coppage as chairman of the executive committee, and the humble writer of these articles as corresponding secretary. There are a number of other citizens connected with the League in an official capacity but these have been the moving spirits. The aims, objects and aspirations of the League are worthy and lofty, and altogether within the sphere of possible consumation. Its modus operandi sane, feasible and practical. So you can see there is nothing wrong with the League—the League is all right. So much for question number one. Now as to when the League will meet again, is a problem that a Solomon and the seven wise men of the East could not solve. The best we can do is to inform you of where and when we are scheduled at meet and invite and greet you to attend. This disposes of question number one. This disposes of question number one. It is entirely beyond the power of any three men to keep such a proposition as the League alive without the support and co-operation of those whom it seeks to serve. No matter how energetic, capable and enthusiastic they may be, three or four men and women can keep such an organization alive and functioning properly without the cordial assistance of only every individual affected, but every agency we have. This latter includes our churches, schools, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., labor unions, and other welfare organizations. We ought to be able to entist the active interests and co-operation of all of our ministers, teachers, labor leaders, etc. If we can but do this we should not question questions will answer themselves to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. The regular meetings of the League are scheduled to be held every second and fourth Thursday nights at 8:00 o'clock at the Y. M. C. A., and every man and woman in the city of voting age are urgently, carnely and cordially to attend. There will be another registration held May and it is very important that our coaching ourselves in anticipation of it. There will be held a most important election this year and we ought to double our voting strength by the time it is to be. Don't be confused if some one tells you you can't be primary next August. Your vote will be registered even though you do not vote in the primary, so let's prepare to say our say when the time comes. Keep in mind our meeting dates and watch this column for what we shall issue relative to conditions in our case, teachers' salaries and the "system."

At 8 p.m., the pastor used for his theme the words of Zech. 14:8—"And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem." He impressed upon his hearers that the stream of water flowing from Jerusalem was the Gospel which has made millions of souls happy. OCEANA CIRCUIT Services at St. Mark's A. M.

He preached with as much power as he did in the morning, notwithstanding the hard he had to fore and taught in his class in the morning. The Lord greatly blesses him with power and strength to carry out his duties. There were ten accessiones to the church, and a collection of $332.99.

S. Morris, D. D., Secretary of the A. C. E. League: At Allen Chapel A. M. E. church, Franktown, a. Sunday, January 29th, Greatest church to hear Virginia's honored son preach and lecture. The occasion was Christian Endevour Day the world over. Never before in the history of the church was a more enthusiastic crowd of young men congregated to hear Virginia's honored son preach and lecture. The church was filled to an overflow of clock a. m. . . The sermon was powerless for both young and old, at the food for both young and old, at the food of which an old man 87 years of age, and two young girls came forward and joined the church on profession and joined the church on four infants and four adults were baptized. People were read into full membership. At night, the church was filled by 7 o'clock sharp, when a program was ordered by the local talent; after which Dr. Joseph Adesonus the community on "The Rise of the Allen C. E. Society," which swept over the congregation like a mighty fire in a great forest. Monday night, January 30th, Rev. Morris was banqueted by the League. Notwithstanding the rain and mud, at 7:30 p. m., a great crowd filled a church to do honor to Virginia's exhilarated program rendered by the local talent the church, Dr. Morris lectured on the $5,000,000 Drive, and What It Means to the Church. I think the people of this Church, ready to bestir themselves along this line. Mrs. Nora B. Taylor, the pastor's wife, presided. The 7th and 8th of June held a three alley public school named after Dr. Morris at the conclusion of Dr. Morris's address, and gave the new Morris and A. C. E. L. yell. The people simply knew that he arose to their feet and gave them to down, and were served the delicacies of the season. After which the people went home more determined to foster C. E. Lousge cause than ever before, for many recruits were enlisted. Rev. G. C. Taylor, the pastor of the church, and everything well or worse, on as though the occasion were an everlasting chance. J. H. N. Savage, Church Clerk. HOLY TEMPLE An unusual interest was manifested at Holy Temple church all day Sunday. The Sunday school opened all year and strength for the Lord, and all year beautifully taught by the superintendent and teachers, who showed marked growth in the work of our Lord and Saviour, and gave to each one what he kept in mind, who keeps us daily. The pastor, Dr. Chus, S. Morris, took for his theme at the morning hour, "The Marriage Feast," and so only brought this message, and as only a man of God can do, that he was no comment, but all on can say is, it was good to be there. The night service was one long to be remembered, for at this service was the message, "Sampson in Delahul's hall," and this was one long to be in the minds of all who heard him. For our pastor, Dr. Morris, who so true and fearlessly stands for all that go to make up our minds, he was upon our minds the evils that exist. All who did not hear him but regret. The church, however, was filled to its sensing capacity, and all which befits us we, like Sampson, seek Delahul's han. The Bible class of this church will meet at Mrs. Edith Bowman's, 1414 W. 42nd street, on Tuesday night, and promises to be a strong factor of the church. They will add much to our lives as true Christian. Next Sunday at 11:30 Dr. Morris will speak, "What God Says About Divorce," and at night service, "Millions Will Be Here When the Lord Comes." The services are especially invited to those services. Strangers and visitors are always welcome. SACRED CONCERT GREATEST YET GIVEN. ST. JAMES CROWDED. SCORES TURNED AWAY. The beautiful musical and literary service at the St. James A. M. E. church, South Norfolk, known as the Fifth Sunday Night Sacred Concert, was the auspices of the united choir of that Sunday night, one of the most delightful and elaborate of these popular services, and was witnessed by the largest and most brilliant crowd of friends and music lovers that has ever visited the church. At this progressive church, scores of people being unable to get inside the church. These musical treats have become an established fixture in this wide district, and Frank G. Russell, the efficient and popular director, has become a center of attraction for the music lovers of the whole Tidewater District. The program for last Sunday night was programed by Mrs. Marcellu L. Paige, and through her splendid officers the St. James choir was supported by the largest aggregation of real talent in the history of these special services, the participants come from Hampton, Portsmouth, Norfolk, Nantucket, Campostella, and South Norfolk. Mr. Jesse L. Jones, secretary-treasurer of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, of Norfolk, presided in his usual brilliant and graceful manner, but was appointed superior than on this auspicious occasion. Dr. P. A. Scott, the popular and progressive pastor, in opening the service, paid a deserving tribute to Mr. Jones, Mr. Russell, Mrs. Paige and others who helped to make this race more possible, and deceived the fact that too many people were unable to gain admission into the church because of its limited space, and expressed the hope of having a new and adequate church building in a more desirable location within a year. The pastor was assisted in the opening of the services by the Rev. W. L. Brown, of Berkley. Aside from the rich musical selections furnished by the St. James choir, beautiful and brilliant musical numbers were rendered by the folklorists; Mr. Lawrence Harrison, Norfolk; the Harmony Quartette, Berkley; the Jerry Anderson Quartette. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Norfolk; 'Miss Saphronia Hamlin, Portsmouth, a special ladies' quartette, Portsmouth, Miss Eva Council, Norfolk, and Miss obese James, Campostella, gave thrilling readings, Miss Marguerite, Mossley, of Norfolk, read a very instructive paper, and Mr. Goodwin, Norfolk, rendered a delightful violin selection. One of the very special features was an interesting address by Nogro in the World War," by Lilian. Edward L. Dabney, of Hampton. Attorney Paige and Dr. Francis assis- sioned Dr. Scott and Dr. Scott generously expressing the gratitude of himself and his inaugural in any way to this brilliant service. PATRONS' LEAGUE HOLDS FINE MEETING The Patrons' League of Waterford Public School, South Norfolk, hold an enthusiastic meeting, January 20th, to the leadership of our president, Renee Berkert, growing in interest and usefulness.

Sykes, who is chairman of the committee on entertainment, gave a glowing report of the work of her department. Mr. Scott, the president, spoke many helpful and instructive words during the meeting, and presided in a manner that delighted all present.

Mrs. Laura Riddick, secretary. BANK STREET SUNDAY SCHOOL Sunday was an ideal day and found us very busy at Bank Street. Sunday school opened premply at 9:30 by the teachers. We are glad to note that our teachers are beginning to see the importance of being more punctual, and we hope in a few more Sundays each week that we will present to answer to his name. The pastor again very beautifully reviewed the lesson. Teachers meeting each Wednesday at 10:30, T. W. Stunnel, Stupt.; Rev. C. M. Long, pastor. BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH The services at the Bank Street Baptist church last Sunday were very helpful and interesting. The spirit of worship was universal. The pastor preached a plain and forceful sermon on Sunday, and gave a Paan. "And call upon me in the trouble; I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." At the evening service, the memorial of our Lord's Supper was duly observed in the usual solemn manner, the collection for the day totaled $1/1.00. The pastor and church extend a very cordial invitation to all to hear a specially prepared sermon which will be preached by the pastor next Sunday morning, subject, "An Engle Stirring Her Nest." Sunday school, morning services, 11:30. T. W. Stanell, Supt.; Rev. C. M. Long, T. W. GRACE P. E. CHURCH All day last Sunday was a spiritual time. The Sunday school was very good, and everything went along in splendid order. At this hour we had Dus. Strong, Dudley and Downing, Des. Strong, Downing and Norfolk, the latter from Roanoke. It was pleasing to see the interest these men took in Bible class taught by Rev. D. J. Lee. We are always glad to have all interested persons Christian sermon at 11 o'clock was preached to a large gathering of visitors and members. It was very interesting. The subject was "Christian Watchfulness." Text, "Hom. 1:51-11. The subject was followed, and many accepted this service. The many service was very good. At the morning service the two senior choirs rendered the singing, which was very acceptable. This Sunday, the First Junior Choir will sing. There will be the Sacrament of Baptism at 11 a.m. Lent will be observed each day this year, and one night service every Wednesday at 8 o'clock, at which time due instruction will be given to all the church. The church will be invited to all services of the church. Our services on last Sabbath were largely attended and intensely interesting and of a very high order. Our students well attended and very inspiring and lively throughout the session. The interest in our school increases each Sabbath; the enthusiasm in the classes and the school in general continues. Our last Sabbath was 256, with a collection of $32.24. The "Hood Bible Class" with the pastor, Rev. N. D. King, as its able instructor, was the banner class in our school on last Sabbath. Our campaign continues with 500 as our goal, and more if possible. We are looking for you on next Sunday. Will you be present? The morning teaching hour, the pastor, B. King, filled his pulpit and delivered a forceful and eloquent Gospel message from Matt. 22:14. This excellent message was well received by the large audience present, the close of this message three children received in the church by baptism. At the evening preaching hour, we enjoyed a short song service. After the Lord's Supper was administered, we were invited to a large benediction for those present. A large number partook of the same. Collections for the day, $206.70. Strangers, visitors and Friends, remain always welcome to all of our services. "Admired By Every Man and Envied By Every Woman".. OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS An address of welcome that was delivered by Mrs. Ireno B. Tanner before the Bank-Street Baptist church during the recent installation of the M. Long. This piece of oratory not only entertains the orator as a person of a high Christian attainment, but of inestimable educational ability. Mrs. Tanner said in part: "Were 1. to utter a paw," said would vibrate across the green and blue waters of the great Pacific, that wash the shores of the near Eust, or the snow capped peaks of yon Were 2. to utter the valley and dale us they lay smiling beaked by flowers and animated by birds, or the uttermost parts of the inhabited earth, the sound would echo and re-echo the word 'welcome.' to you us a great organization to teach the heights of fame, and planted its footprints on the sands of time, but we come in our infancy, with willing hearts to do what our hands find to do, to teach the dear pastor, to all of our joys, and we you will graciously share our cares and burdens, and direct us in the paths of righteousness to the best of you. In the busy avena of life one sometimes feels neglected or isolated, especially strangers or those who have recently come among us, even in the house of God, because, and maybe all unconciously, no one has been conjoined to extend the social hand of welcome. "The Get-to-gether Club is striving to be all that its name implies—the embodiment of inspiration, friendship, live and charity." The organizing and much of the success of our little auxiliary is the work of us as mission and untiring efforts of our president, Mrs. Sallie Garrett, and to the generality of our affiliating members. We are anxious, enthusiastic that more love and friendship may be kitted out to the members of our church, and may come as contagious that each member may become infected, and that every phase of our Christian life may be shot through with the spirit of welcome so contagious that each member possess this vital dynamic spirit is invoked by the constant companionship of the dear Messiah who welcomed all. "To be imbued with this Christian love, that we may part it readily and pleasantly to others, we cannot shut ourselves up in a little narrow corner, the small or tortise, nor can we measquerade in the guise of a 'wolf in sheep's clothing', it is dangerous and deterrimental to our Christian progress, but to be able to impress those who see us, we must strangle the stranger within our gates, that our Christian life is free, open and real, and that to trend these hallowed grounds or to stand within these sacred walls, is truly a splendid attempt to attain the ability to stress welcome from the deepest recesses of our hearts, and may Bank Street (strike with one accord welcome until the brightness of her glary shall single out the light of our souls, shall come into that one far-off divine city to which all righteousness moves. Therefore, dear pastor, in behalf of the Get-together Club I welcome you with all the tenderness, sweetness of our souls, I thrice welcome you, you, three times thrice and more. Welcome as the flowers in May, Welcome each and every day; Welcome to do our song, Welcome to Rev. to Mrs., and all the little short Longs. S. S.

Unprecedented Record of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company Of this pioneer and progressive Negro business enterprise the Durham Morning Herald said in a recent issue: "These are times when real agents and real companies are justifying their existence by the priceless service they are rendering to both business and society. They are making a real contribution to the nation's welfare while demonstrating their complete fitness to be classed among the real essentials of modern life. "It is a singular fact, that while there is much unnecessary talk about 'hard times,' 'depreciated values,' and the like, the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, the largest Negro insurance company in the world, is going ahead as though they had never heard of any 'business depression,' doubling the value of their incomes by the simple process of maintaining their 1920 selling pace in the face of a falling commodity market. "The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company is the wonder insurance company of this century. It has a million dollars in invested assets. BUSINESS DURING 1920 "During the year 1920 this company collected $1,605,087.27 and paid $534,-764.28 in claims. It increased its insurance force by $10,000,000, making a total insurance in force of $36,102,-873.60. Loaned $250,000 to deserving colored people on mortgages, and in other, ways injected into the colored race a desire and ambition for thrift that is commendable and, at the same time, surprising in the beneficial results which are now being seen among these people. BUILDING A NEW HOME "This company is now erecting a fire-proof, seven-story Home office building. Its business has outgrown tremendously all of its heretofore considered ample accommodations. The entire ground floor of this new building is to be occupied by the Mechanies and Farmers' Bank, which has an authorized capital of a half million dollars. The other floors are to be occupied by the Insurance company for its home office. This building is situated in the heart of the city of Darham, being within one-half a block of the postoffice and the city municipal building. ANNOUNCING FIRE DURHAM ORIZED Laws of North Ca .

It is now operating in the District of Columbia, and the following States: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, and Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Alabama. A J. LIFE-SAYING STATION "The North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has been a lifelong saving station for the colored people throughout the country, by paying off mortgages on their farms and homes, and saving them from embarrassment. It is lifting its race from the qumigmes of careless spendthriftiness, inculcating confidence and the spirit of saving among the colored folks, by selling them confidence, and sure prosperity, and helping to make good times among a class of people who are easily stamped in terror by the sight of the bogie man they themselves have created in their own minds, by teaching them solvency and sound common sense. WHAT THEY ARE DOING "During the war the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Durham, bought $110,000 worth of Liberty bonds, which it now owns. $230,000 is deposited with Insurance commissionere for the protection of its policy-holders. At the close of business on December 31, 1920, the assets of the company were $1,100,000. It has a record, since it began business twenty-one years ago, unprecedented in the annals of insurance in North Carolina, and it has been pronounced by the Insurance commissioner of the State that it has one of the best kept set of books to be found in North Carolina—every inspection showing completeness to the very cent. MONUMENT-TO MERRICK "The North Carolina Muuntal Insurance Company is a God-sent blessing to the colored race, and is the creation of one of their own color, be it said to their praise and credit. It is a monument more lasting than marble or brass to the late John Merrick, its founder? He left the company in competent hands; men who grew up with it, and who have been largely instrumental in making what it is—such men as C. C. Spaulding, Dr. A. M. Moore, J. M. Avery, and their associates." Building and Loan Associations Durham is also on the threshold of a new home building era. Substantial homes are being erected in all parts of the city, and especially in the colored sections.

Super Race Production To Be Shown Next Week Largest Crowd Is Expected to Turn Out At Attucks 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 the 17th, 18th, and 19th 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 the manners 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 resort, the escape of her brother from the death cell through the aid of a dope friend who has found himself and the ultimate man in a dangerous and falsely accused brother and the reuniting 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. MOREHOUSE DEFEATS HAMPTON (By E. A. Wilson) Hampton, Va., Feb. 8.—The Morehouse College basketball team from Atlanta, Ga., defeated the Hampton Institute five by a score of 37-34, in one of the most sensational games of the season. The visitors played a great game, using a somewhat different style of play, namely, the five-man guarding system. Although estimated by the "Seasiders," the Morehouse playing took the starch out of them. The team work was commendable and the shooting was excellent. Morehouse started the game by getting a long lead in the first few minutes of the game, but at the close of the first half they were only one point ahead of the "Seasiders." The half was the blood-and-thunder port. It began slowly and uninterestedly but Hampton sent in Henderson for Bradley and Chamberlin for Long. These boys made the game pack up. Again the Morehouse stride was shortened and the game ended with the victors only three points in the lead. Substitutes: Hampton—Henderson, Saunders and Chamberlin, Referee— Poulson. Score: Morehouse, 37; Hampton, 34. "FRITZ" POLLARD SHOWS 'EM HOW TO DO IT Los Angeles, Cal.—A crowd of five thousand, last week, saw the Akron, O. eleven beat the Conn Al-Stars, 13 to 7, in a game full of spectacular features. "Fritz" Pollard was the pivot man in a sensational Akron forward pass in the first half, the hall traveling fifty-five yards from the point where first thrown. The second Akron touchdown was just as brilliant. From the 52-yard line on one side of the field, Pollard King sent a forward pass. Pollard on the opposite other side. The latter, rushing at breakneck speed, went high in the air as he neared the goal, with a Conn man on his back. In the last half the coast men stopped the Ohlons dead in their tracks.

Watkins is Negro "Movie King" of North Carolina One of Durham's progressive colored citizens is known in his home town and throughout the State as the "movie king" because he has made such wonderful success in the motion picture theatre business. Mr. Frederick K. Watkins, the man referred to, has just completed "The Wonderland," a new theatre at a cost of $75,000, and he also operates the "Rex" in Durham an dtheatres in High Point, N. C., and South Boston, Va. He has also entered the motion picture film-making business, having chartered a chartered "King Films Studio," with an thorized capital of $500,000.0, producing colored pictures exclusively. The Durham Sun said of Mr. Watkins in a recent issue: "Among the highly successful and progressive business men in the Haiti section of Durham, none is better known or more highly regarded for their initiative and ability than Frederick K. Watkins, well known in the South as the 'Movie King.' "Mr. Watkins is the proprietor in Durham of two handsome picture houses, the second of which is now being completed at the corner of Pettigrew and Kramsey street at a cost of $75,000. His other theatre which he opened seven years ago is the Rex at 522 Pettigrew street. In addition to the剧院 in Durham, Va., also the owner of picture houses in High Point, N. C., South Boston, Va., Winston-Salem, N. C., and Atlantic City, N. J. He is widely known throughout the country as the successful operator of a chain of moving picture house, and is considered one of the country's leaders in that field. "Recognizing the importance of co-operation among moving picture exhibitors, he organized and is the president of the National Negro Exhibitors of America, an organization which has done much toward raising the standard of moving picture houses showing exclusively to Negroes. He has advanced ideas on the subject of moving pictures; believes in educational films; shows in the highest剧院 of pictures; and as the largest theatre owner of his race in the South is setting the pace in that field of endeavor. "The great success of Mr. Watkins in Durham, where he has a handsome home and makes his headquarters, is due to his many sterling qualities of giving the public what it wants. His business has increased to such an extent that the erection of a new house was made necessary, plans for it have been show to be one of the handsomeest in North Carolina inside and out. HANDICAPPED BY RACIAL PREJUDICE Mr. A. L. Jackson, himself a Negro, takes up the cudgels for has race in February Forum. He says: "As with the Indian, so it has been with the Negro. In most every field of endenvor his demonstrations of ability and fitness have had to be on a racial basis. He has had no other choice. Therefore, many achievements by Negro men and women have been to him not so much accomplishments of talented individuals, but racial accomplishments refuting the constantly repeated assertion of pre-ordained inferiority. "For generations the Negro has been looked upon as a predestined tiller of the soil. Any effort to break down this notion was frowned upon. So he tilled the soil in an effort to satisfy ignorant and unscientific overseers and plantation owners, until the day came when, following the advice of wiser men, he began acquiring his own land. Today more than 220,000 Negroes are owners of their own farms; 672,964 are renters or share croppers looking forward to the day when they will be owners; $492,892,218 worth of farm-building stock and equipment are owned by these tillers of the soil."

Bridgers) The services of the Union Baptist church were largely attended and very instructive on last Sunday. The pastor, Rev. C. C. Staton, preached two powerful sermons. Those who hear his wonderful discourses from time to time are thoroughly convinced that he is really an able and efficient minister of the Gospel. It is his plan to begin a series of revival meetings at this church, beginning the third Sunday in February. Those who can appreciate powerful sermons will do themselves no little credit to attend these meetings as regularly as possible. We pray for his spiritual success during the campaign.
