His life was an example of high Christian character, being a teacher of the third primary class in the Church Baptist Summae, the president and president of the B. Y. P. U. He always wore a smile upon his countenance, and caused everyone who came in contact with him to happily work with him. His funeral took place Monday afternoon, January 31st, at 2:30, at Royal Baptist church. The church could not accommodate the large number who turned out to pay the last tribute of respect of his mum. Prof. Owings, of V. N. I. I., was present and characterized him in the highest respect as being a true Christian gentleman while in school there. Rev. Mason, pastor, preached the services, so Scott, of Chelsea, spoke of his high term. The floral designs were many and beautiful. He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted mother, father, two brothers, and a host of dear friends. Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy sleep. We loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best.

It was gratifying information for a largo part of Norfolk's citizenship, published in the JounNat, avo GUIDE of January 29th, as given out by City Manager Ashburner, that the Afro- American sections of the city of Nor- ‘Yok were to have strect improve- ments, a small part at a time, until thoy all should have them, This is as it should be. ‘The Afro-American tax-payers of the city are entitled 1 29 much of consideration from the city fathers, not only as an assurance of their own health and conveniences, ‘ag well as beantifcation of their dis triets, but as an assurance to all of the citizens, who are henclited alik by euch improvements. The streets of Norfolk should all ‘be paved and have plenty of water and water connections, Health re- quires 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 he made.so that in time all of the city should have such com- monplace but absolutely essential und necessary conveniences, which nre in- soparable from city life without in- ducing bud health conditions. We have no direct voice im the city government, but we pay our shitre of the taxation necessary to defray the ‘expenses of city government, and we should nlways, therefore, on this nc- count, have proper consideration in expenditure of the taxation for the general health und convenience, of sections of the city, when they ure not good, affect the health conditions of all sections of the city. That is too well known to nced enlarged dis. cassion of it, but the truth of it ean- fiat Wey often be restated. We aro pratifed. chat! the city fat. ers have decided at last to give us 1 meaauro of relief in the matter of Pavements, and we should not forget those of them who are concerned ix giving. it to us, and we reasonably ‘expect ay we go nlong that we shall have relief for other necessary im- Brovements ns urgently needed as street improvements. STATE'S RIGHTS AND MOB . LAW During the past eight years se Democratic party has made such’ en-| eroachments: on the principle of State's rights, or upon the rights re- served to the States uni not delegated to the Federal Government, as to vite destroy the principle. Time was when the Federal Government reach- e4 tho individual citizen in a very small and inconsiderable way; now it reaches him in all of the relations of Jife. Its taxing power has been ex- tonded 20 that he feels the grind of it in all that enters into, his living ex- penses, his health, his work and ‘wages, and even in his housing. Sen- ator Carter Gloss fetched out this point strongly in his recent discussion of direct and indirect taxation. Tho Democratic party used to stick- Je-even unto doath for the most com- plete separation of tire functions of the States and Federat Government, land even went to war to enforce 0 mach of the principle as was involved in the right of the States to control it, During the past cight years the Demoeratic party has quite reversed iteelf upon the principle of Stato's rights, and has, as the administrators of National affuirs, enlarged in wonderful way the functions, if not ‘the powers, of the National Govern: ment at the expense of the State gov- - ernments. In discussing the statement of Ur Henry Lincoln Johnson, made recent: ly at Atlanta, that he has the promise of President-elect Harding that a Na. tonal Anti-Lynching law should be passed by, Congress, ond that he Johnson, intended'to remain in Wash ington until such a law should - enacted, a lending Southern daily ““newépoper eaid that, if the Nation de yBited: t6 have an‘ Irish condition of Salfiles in the, United States it woul ea necessary for Coitgresa _conect iguch legislation as would itnor Sao with Ui donicatic’ atten. Gf th States. The Irish condition of affairs today is one in which the Irish mob is met by'a British mob, both beirg classed as organized wititary 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 produe- tion of agriculture to furnishing free seed to farmers, as well as so much indirect aid to education ay can be smuygled in without Government sup- ervision 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 vio- lence, perpetrated with the conniv- ance or the toleration of the Suite ‘governments concerned, ‘The people of the United States have renched the conclusion in their ‘philosophy that the right of the Na- tional Government to protect the life and property of its citizens, when the individual States neglect to so do, is 8 National power imbedded in the Constitutional amendments growing out of the Civil War, If the States do not want the Nationat Government to invoke thik power they must give the individual citizen adequate pro tection to his life and property. That ia x surety.

Madison, opened the Sunday school. All officers and teachers were present except two. There were twenty new scholars added to the school. We are working hard to reach out to one thousand and scholars for the year. At 11:30, the pastor preached a powerful sermon from 1st Sun. 24:14, he said that David was in a strait, and that sellish honor brought him. But there was one reason the Gur would forgive all who will repent. Immediately after the morning service, the pastor preached the funeral of the members who had been ill for fourteen months, Sistel Alice McClarion. At 5:30, the B. Y. P. U. had their exercises.

He preached from 1 Corinthians, spoke of the different kinds of soil, and preached to the Christian soul. He said one thing: God knew the good and bad soul. 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. There is a slight decrease on account so many people being out of work. We are not able to do a way for those who have no work.

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. A literary program was rendered. Among the prominent speakers were Mrs. and Mrs. J. C. Diamond, of the Fork; Mrs. Berkert, of Norfolk; a paper by Mrs. Perewolf; park reading; Mrs. Evan Campolk; an address, Mrs. Moss, Campostellia; interesting talks were given to visitors, as instructed, which were very encouraging.

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."

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.

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.

IS SOME PICTURE Largest Crowd Is Ex. pected te Turn Out At Attucks The patrons of the Attucks Thea- tre will -huve their first. opportunity to review the. sensational» Maurice Film Co., production, “Nobody's Chil- dren,” when that great feature is shown on the 17th, 18th, and 19th of next week. ‘This picture comes high- iy recommended and it is said to cary more actual thrill to the reel than anything ever produced by colored people. “Indeed it is doubtful if there wax ever been a five-recler made that will hold you in the manner that ix claimed for this one. There are scenes from the underworld, a couple of fights that will make you sit up nnd take notice—the arrest—conviction and sentence to death of the hero for u murder he did not commit, the kid- napping of his young sister und the placing of her in a dive by their un- natural step-father, her escape from the underworld resort, the escape of her brother from the denth cell through the aid of a dope fiend who has found himself and the ultimate exonerution und pardoning of the falsely accused brother and the re- uniting of the two. There is a bit of comedy to allay the tense situations and a moral lesson carried and brought home in a manner which will muke you sit up and take real notice. Don't forget the dates.

Watkins is Negro “Movie King” of North Carolina One of Durham's progressive col- ored citizens is known in his home town’ and throughout the State as the “movie king” because be hus made such wonderful success in the motion picture theatre business. Mr. fred- trick K, Watkins, the man referred to, has just completed “The Wonder- lund,” 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 recently chartered the “Movie King Film Exchange Studio,” with an au- thorized capital of $500,000.00, pro- ducing colored pictures exclusively. The Durham Sun said of Mr. Watkins in. recent issue: “Among the highly suceessful_and progressive business men in the Haiti section of Durham, none is better known or more highly regarded for their initiative and ability than Fred- erick 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 Pet. tigrew and Ramsey street at a cost of $75,000. His other theatre. which he opened seven years ago in the Rex at 522 Pettigrew street. “In addition to his theatres in Dur- hum, he is also the owner of picture houses in High Point, N. C., South Boston, Va., Winston-Salem, N. C., and Atluntic City, N. J. He is widely known throughout the country as the successful operntor of n chain of mov- ing picture house, and is considered one of the country’s Ieuders in’ that field. “Recognizing the importance of co-uperation «mong moving picture exhibitors, he organized and is the prerident of the National Negro Ex- ibitors of America. an organization which has done much toward raising the standard of moving picture houses showing exclusively to Nesroes. He has advanced ideas on the subject of moving pictures; believes in ¢educa- tional films; shows only the highest class of pictures, and ux the largest theatre owner of his race in’ the South is setting the pace in that field of endeavor. w= “The great success of Mr, Watkins in Durham, where he has a handsonty home and makes his headquarters, is due to his muny sterling qualities of fiving the public what it wants. Iis business has increused to such an ex- tent that the erection of a new theatre was made necessury, and the plans for the house show it to be one of the handsomest in North Carolina inside and out. HANDICAPPPED BY RACIAL PREJUDICE Mr. A, L, Juckson, himself a Negro, tukes up the cudgels for hus race in February Forum. He says: “As with the Indian, so it has been with the Negro. In most every field of endenyor his demonstrations of ubli- ity and fitness have hod to be on a raciul basis. He has had no other choice. Therefore, many achieve- ments by Negro men and women have been to him not xo much accomplish: ments of talented individuals, but racial accomplishments refuting the constantly repeated assertion of pre. ordained inferiority. “For gencrations the Negro has beer looked upon as a predestined tiller of the soil. Any effort to break dowr this notion was frowned upon. S¢ he tilled the soil in an effort to sat- isfy ignorant and unscientific over seers and plantation owners, until the day came when, following the advic: of wiser men, he bogan acquiring hi frown land, Today more than 220,001 Negroes are owners of ‘tficir ow: farms; 672,964 are renters or shar croppers looking forward to the da} when they will be owners; $492,892, 218 worth of farm-building stock ani equipment are owned by these tiller ‘of the soil.” Deep Creek,aVa.
