28 KILLED BY TORNADO IN GEORGIA IS VIGOROUSLY FAMOUS VARNER CONTESTED SUIT IS AGAIN Whites Unwilling to AIRED IN COURT VOL. XXI. NO. 10 28 K FOUR H MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO LIVES AND HOUSES Many Made Homeless As Giant Tornado Sweeps By RED CROSS HELPS Succoring Parties Quickly Go to the Rescue Oceane, Ga.—A tornado that attained the intensity that was never before known in this section, swept outer skirts of this little drowsy lumber camp like a giant brown. Houses, trees, freight cars, cattle and people, and all that was in its path was blown and hurled for yards. Twenty-eight lives were lost and many injured. A stretch of land extending almost to Toomsboro, nearly five miles long and about a half mile wide, is a barren as a prairie, not a building or tree being left standing. At exactly 12:30 the tornado swerved down. There was an almost uniform sound of crashing timber and the cries of those in pain. In two minutes all was over. The cyclone's path was nearly three hundred yards wide and one thousand yards in length, on the eastern side of the Central of Georgia tracks. The employees of the Cleveland-Oconee Lumber Company were off for lunch and were practically all at home when the storm struck the town. Most of them were sitting down eating. Their houses faced the tracks of the Savannah Division of the C. of G. Railroad. In the rear of the houses was an open field, extending for nearly a mile from the Oconee station to (Continued on page 8) $100,000 WILL IS VIGOROUSLY CONTESTED Whites Unwilling to Let Race Man Get It LIVELY CONTEST ON Over 125 Join In Effort to Break Will Made 15 Years Ago Monroe, Feb. 13.—One of the most interesting actions ever filed in Union county civil court will be called for trinal Wednesday, the 23rd, when the action known locally as the "Ross will case," will come up. More than a hundred relatives of the late Maggie and Sallie Ross, maiden ladies of Sandy Ridge township, are attempting to break the will of these ladies, by which a thousand acres of fine farming lands and several thousand dollars in money was bequeathed to three prominent colored citizens. The action has created wide interest because of the amount involved, the number of caveators scattered throughout five or six counties and in South Carolina, and because of the unusual circumstances of maiden white women bequeathing practically all of their large estate to Negroes. Further interest is added by the array of counsel, which includes the best law firms in this section of the State, representing the Union, Mecklenburg, Gaston and other bars. A number of years ago, because of family difficulties, Dennis Ross and his sisters, Maggie and Sallie Ross, severed relations with other members of their family and moved into a new neighborhood near Murryin in this county. By dint of hard work and close living they accumulated considerable property. Dennis died leaving no will and his sisters of course became sole owners of the joint estate. They employed a young Negro boy to help about the barn yard and housework and in time become very much attached to him. When he married they deeded him a farm and stocked it as a wedding gift. This man, Robert Ross, continued to look after outside work for the women and they in turn continued to help him financially. Finally when his daughter married she, too, was given a handsome wedding present. The women, now growing old, lived much to themselves. They were (Continued on page 8) (Courtesy Atlanta Constitution) Photograph showing the cyclone-swept sections of Oconee, Ga., and the nearby mill settlement of Gardner, where twenty-seven persons were killed Thursday.

C., Feb. 15.—The sensational case of Varner vs. McCray that has been going on for some time lived on considerably when Mrs. Varner took the stand to testify against her husband this week. Mrs. Florence C. Varner was the star witness in United States District Court here in her suit against her husband, H. B. Varner, chairman of the State Prison Board, and prominent newspaper publisher of Lexington, N. C., for a "reasonable subsistence" from the estate of the defendant. Mrs. Varner is laying claim to the property of the defendant in Lexington estimated to be worth $50,000. The suit for "reasonable subsistence" is Mrs. Varner's reply to the proceedings at Lexington last August, when her husband instituted divorce proceedings against her and at the same time started suit for $100,000 against R. Baxter McCray for alleged alienation of his wife's affections. The trial in United States Circuit Court is before a jury and Mrs. Varner was on the stand most of the day on direct examination. She positively denied having at any time in her life met McCrary. She testified that the colored man was a friend of Mr. Varner's, which was "very much against her wishes;" that McCrary "had contributed $25 to her husband's campaign fund" when he was a candidate for Congress, and that "her husband was exceedingly proud of it." The witness told of McCrary writing articles for the Lexington Dispatch, Mr. Varner's paper, which the witness tried to have stopped. Mrs. Varner testified that Fred. Sink, business manager of Mr. Varner's paper, informed her about five years ago that there was talk about the man visiting her house. Sink asked her if Varner knew it, to which the witness replied that he did. Mrs. Varner testified that she thought Sink was of the opinion that she was treating McCrary as an equal, and had no idea that he thought that she was intimate with McCrary. "Mrs. Varner declared that she did not know that McCrary had been at her house on the night of August 9, 1920, until the next morning when Mr. Sink telephoned her. It was the night of August 9th that McCrary is alleged to have been taken from under the Varner home by Lexington citizens. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, FEBRUARY 19, 1921 Non-Partisan Citizen Union Sends Petition to Harding New York City, Feb. 15.—A petition has been sent to President-elect Harding by the Non-Partisan Citizen Union of The Bronx and Manhattan, to name a colored man to the Cabinet. Eugene McIntosh, the president, said the request might seem to be "paradoxical and inexpedient," but that "justice knoweth no broth.4." "Who can contend," he said, "that the Negro, by ability, loyalty and sacrifice, is not entitled to a place in the council of this nation?" It is always expedient to do justice." He added that 12,000,000 Negroes are represented by no "position of honor or emolument" in the Federal Government. 7,000 WHITES BURN MAN AT STAKE Athens, Ga.—Seven thousand men the burning to death of John Lee Ebeo to death a white woman.

Colored Soldiers on Rhine Have Perfect Records Asserts Secretary Colby Washington, Feb. 15.—Stories about alleged atrocities committed by French colonial troops in the occupied area in Germany which have been circulated in this country "originate in Berlin and appear to be very largely anti-French propaganda," Secretary Colby says in a letter to Senator Spencer, Republican, Missouri. The Senator made the letter public today with the explanation that it answered "many inquiries and protests" received by Senators about the alleged misconduct of the French troops. Secretary Colby stated on information supplied by American diplomatic and military agents in Europe that "there are no colored troops remaining in the occupied area and no recent examples of misbehavior have been brought forward."

WHEN HIT Force of Compact Overturns the Jitney DRIVER FLEES Occupants Have Very Narrow Escape With Lives A large Packard touring car driven by Willie Sparrow crashed into a Ford jitney driven by A. Miller of B Avenue last Sunday night at the intersection of Princess Anne avenue and Chapel street and wounded four occupants of the jitney. Mrs. George Brewer, of 819 Lexington street, was the most seriously injured of the occupants. Others injured were Mr. A. Miller, the driver, sprained hip; Miss Ethel Butler and Miss Mary Ruffin, cut about the face and neck by flying glass; Miss Hattie Ramsey received minor cuts on the shoulder; Mrs. Brewer was cut about the neck and shoulder by glass and received internal injuries which will not possibly prove dangerous. The jitney was turning into Chapel street and the touring car was coming down Princess Anne. At this point the street was being repaired and this forced the Packard to the South side of the street. As the jitney was turning north, the big car struck the jitney head on and knocked it over to the other side of the stair and completely turned it around. The big car swerved and ran into the sidewalk. e driver of the touring car (Continued on page 8) ASHBIE HAWKINS GETS IN DUTCH WITH U. N. I. A. Speech Infuriates Members of the U. N. I. A Cries of "Lynch Him" and "Throw Him Out" Heard Baltimore. Md.—Cries of "Lynch him," "Take him down from there," "Let me at him," and the like closed the otherwise orderly mass meeting held under the auspices of the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at Trinity Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. The objection of these threats was Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins, whose address was interrupted, and who was forced of leave the building heckled by the crowd. Earlier in the meeting Mr. Fred. Tote, of New York, and other speakers extolled the plans of the Honorable Mareus Garvey for the redemption of Africa through the Black Star Line of steamers and the Liberian loan. Just before the session came to an end, Attorney Geo. L. Pendleton spoke of the need of securing adequate counsel to defend Henry Brown, accused of murder of a Naval Academy nurse. According to Rev. J. J. Cranston, the presiding officer, Mr. Hawkins, who was also invited to say a word, launched into an attack upon Garveyism, declaring that he had listened to the various speakers and was no more enlightened than when he came in. "Garveyism," Mr. Hawkins is quoted as saying, "is mere both," and continuing he asked "how many of you own land in Africa?" Nearly every hand went up. "Where is your title and deed?" asked the speaker, and then the storm broke. Outcries against Mr. Hawkins were heard on all sides. Women and men surged from their seats, and one man with his coat off was seen vainly trying to get down the aisle. Sensing the situation, Rev. Cranston ran to the front of the platform and announced one verse of the hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers." In a tumult that did not subside, he pronounced the benediction.

EMANUEL CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday being Allen Day, it was celebrated with appropriate exercise throughout the entire day. At the morning hour, Dr. Hunter spoke on "Leadership," and most vividly pointed out that God selects those from lowly places and elevates them to places of leadership, using as examples Washington, Lincoln, Douglass, Payne, Wayman, who was dug out of the pit as it were and placed in leadership.

CHURCH Bart and Effingham Streets The Lenten season opened up with splendid congregations. The service Ash Wednesday and all the services Sunday were unusually large, indeed a manifestation of the season. Let us keep such good work up. Sunday night marked the beginning of a series of sermons on "God and Man"; subject was "Man As He Sees Himself." The speaker pointed out that man looks upon himself, as not being so very bad after all; he comes to this conclusion, however, because he is measuring his life by other men; but he goes on to say that this is an imperfect standard, consequently the measurements are wrong. He should measure himself by Jesus Christ, and in proportion as he approaches this standard in the same proportion will he reflect the divine image. A large crowd heard the sermon. Subject next Sunday night, "Man As God Sees Him." Sunday morning's subject, "Essentials of True Conversion." Confirmation lecture at 5 p.m., Sunday. Midweek service Thursday night at 8 o'clock.

Miss Hucles Addresses Public Forum at Va. Union University The social relations between the students of the University and the members of the fairer sex in the city was the subject which provoked much discussed at the meeting of the public forum last Tuesday evening at Virginia Union University. The meeting opened promptly at 6:30 p. m., Mr. E. G. Wood, of the Senior College, president The subject was opened by R. N. Brown. Mr. Brown stated that there had come reports from various quarters in the city that the conversations and ideals that the students of the University carried into the city were not of such that should characterize the type of students that the men of the University are supposed to be. Likewise, said Mr. Brown, the fellows at Union charge that so many of the young ladies in the city did not appreciate the company of those who felt disposed to maintain the lofty ideals and engage in highly cultural only appreciated jazz-dances, card parties, and frivolous conversations, and that the student who did not conform to this program would be branded a "preacher," and his presence would be undesirable. Those who discussed the subject were: Messrs. F. D. Johnson, O. M. Thomas, B. Hester, M. L. Shepard, W. S. Henry, Prof. W. A. Hall, a graduate of the local University, and Miss Ruth Hudes. All the speakers agreed that the relations of the Va. Union students and the young ladies of the city were not what they should be, no one intimated that the social relationship were immoral, yet they were giggling, giddy, frivolous, and did not possess the rich cultural setting that tend to the highest development of all concerned. The premier speech, however, was made by Miss Hudes, who proved a speaker of unusual skill and power. Miss Hudes, in a very unique manner, spoke of the conditions and told the large number of students assembled that they were largely responsible for whatever social conditions that existed, that the girls were influenced by the attitude of the young men an dthat if they showed an unmistakable interest in loftie rthings of life that the young girls would follow their example. Among the visitors from the city were Misses Marion and Rosa Hayes, Beatrice and Hallie Edmonds, Martha Childs, Sadie Daniels, Madames Cowan and White; Messrs. James Randolph, Willie Hill, and others. The discussion had a marked effect upon the entire student body and visitors, and there is every evidence that the standards of the society of Richmond will be greatly heightened. CAPE CHARLES, VA.

In our "Ode to Business Men" last week we failed to mention the most prosperous and substantial enterprise in the city—the grocery store of Lee and Williams, on Reservoir St. This firm enjoys the confidence and patronage of the Harrisonburg public, irrespective of color or creed, and is a credit to the erase.

(Mrs. Lennie Picks) Sunday being a beautiful day, the services at Mt. Lebanon Baptist church were very well attended. The Sunday school opened at 9:30 a. m., with the superintendent present, in the person of Mr. James Alex- ander. The school is prosperous along all lines under the leadership of this young man. At 1:30 our pastor, Rev. T. W. Fentress, preached a soul-stirring sermon. His text was found in Acts 2:1; subject, "The Coming of the Holy Spirit." This was a powerful discourse and was very much enjoyed by all. After this service the pastor left immediately to preach and commune with the members of Weeping Mary Baptist church, Fentress, Va. We were very glad to have Rev. Blankenship of Little Zion to worship with us. At night our ex-pastor, Rev. J. H. Alexander, was with us and preached an instructive sermon to the delight of his hearers from 1 Kings 19:14, using as a subject "Spiritual Discouragement."

E. church ar eplanning to celebrate the 17th anniversary of their Sunday school on Friday night, March 4th.

Lebanon Baptist church will meet Monday at 2 o'clock. This auxiliary is doing very effective work. WEEK OF PRAYER Petersburg, Vn.--For a number of years it has been the policy of the institute to hold an annual religious revival or "Week of Prayer." In keeping with this custom such a revival was held last week. The services were conducted by Rev. E. E. Smith, of Newport News. Rev. Smith preached a series of able sermons, which were both practical and convincing. Great interest was manifested by the student body, and as a result of these efforts, fifteen persons were converted and professed faith in Christ and determination to live the new life. It is interesting to know that during the last few years practically all students who were not Christians have accepted Christianity during these meetings, leaving us with a student body which is nearly one hundred per cent Christian. These meetings have done much to direct the minds of the students into right channels of Christian thought and conduct. Rev. Smith, who conducted the meeting, is a graduate of Virginia Union University and is pastor of one of the lending churches of Newport News. He is a young man and bids fair to develop into a strong religious leader. Among those who have conducted the revival in previous years are Rev. Nelson Brown, of Richmond; Rev. Bowling, of Norfolk, and Rev. J. B. Brown, of Petersburg.

President Wilson has purchased a beautiful home in Washington and will make that city his residence in future, and it has been given out, he will devote himself to literary work. After this announcement another was published recently in which it was stated that he would go into seclusion for a long period and seek to recover thoroughly his health. This announcement appears to have angered Mr. Wilson, as it was promptly announced from the White House that he would do no such thing, but would continue to take an active interest in public affairs; meaning, of course, that he was still in politics as well as in literature. Anyhow, President Wilson is eminently able to take care of himself in private life, and we all hope he may have good health and keep things humming for us, as Colonel Roosevelt did.

A SERMON BY LONG FELT NEED DR.MAXWELL SOON TO BE REALIZED HERE Dr. Maxwell is one of the most noted divines in the country today. He is a thoroughly educated man and an unusually close student of the Bible. For over two months he has been holding special sermons every Sunday night in the Attucks Theatre. Crowds of from 500 to a 1,000 greet him every Sunday night. He has made his meetings very popular by plenty of good singing. In handling his subjects, Dr. Maxwell shows rare form and intelligence. Some of the subjects he has talked on are: "Can These Dry Bones Lye?" "Who Made Me," etc. Dr. Maxwell's latest sermon was "Why men will stop dying in 1925 A. D. We publish herewith his sermonic notes: (Expository Lesson Text, Liv. 25:1-2) Note 1. The Sabbath system is not a man-ordained institution—but "the Lord spake unto Moses in Mt. Sinai, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, when you come into the land which, then shall he bind keep a Sabbath unto the land. So see them that we have a "The Sabbath the Lord" for setting up this System which means so very much to the people of Israel, and of all the nations of the earth. 2. Israel a Typical Nation "BIBLE STUDENTS" know that all of God's dealings with the people of Israel were typical; that to say, THAT HE USED ISRAEL TYPE OUT HAT HIS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH MANKIND WOULD BE. IMPORTANCE OF BIBLICAL TYPES When God wanted the Son to know that He would send His Son or that He intended that His "ONLY PEGOTEN SON" to DIE and SAVE the people from their sins, He commanded Abraham to offer on the mountain his Son, Isaac. This (Abraham's offer) TYPED OUT the death from offering Isaac is then the type or occasion and God surrendering Jesus, and Jesus dying in obedience to the will of the Father, is the ANTI TYPE, or substance shaddowed by the TYPE. 4. Now that we are satisfied that God commanded that the "SABBATH SYSTEM" should be instituted, we next want to know (1) AT WHAT TIME DID HE ORDER THAT THE "SABBATH SYSTEM" should be instituted or put into OPERATION, MANY YEARS OF SABBATHICAL THOUGHT, AND HE INTEND THEM TO KEEP? the answer to the (1), When (at what time) was the SABBATH SYSTEM to be instituted? Is God's "WHEN YOU COME INTO THE LAND WHICH I GIVE YOU, THEN SHALL THE LAND KEEP A SABBATH" (INSTITUTE). In answer to the (2); HOW MANY SABBATHS THE INTEND THEM TO KEEP? The answer is again God's through Jeremiah (24:11). "And this whole land shall be desolation, and an astonishment; and the institutions shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years. (Bible Students) will understand. You will see that we are allowing God to do His own talking. And from His own statement, we find that He intended that (70) Seventy Sabbatical years should be kept. THE CALCULATIONS Let us note that a simple calculation of these brings us to the consideration of this important fact: SEVENTY JUBILEES OF FIFTY YEARS EACH, (70 x 50) would give us a total of three thousand and five hundred years, (3,500). THE JUBILEE HOUSE OF THE YEAR OF JUBILEE AND THE BLESSINGS FLOWING OUT OF IT TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL. (Lev. 25:10) "And ye shall hollow the fifth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a return unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his own possession; and ye shall return every man unto his own family." NOTE then, that the "YEAR OF JUBILEE" brought (1) The Restitution of Restoration of all property rights to those who lost them through mortgage, lease, sale or barter of any kind. (2) That it (the Jubilee) brought liberty of person to those who bonded as slaves. In a word, if the Jubilee brought the cancellation of every indebtedness and all obligations (as debtors) of the kind and gave every man a chance to enter into the making of the new jubilee free from debts and obligations: all men on equal footing. ISRAEL ENTERS THE LAND Now, let us note that Israel entered the land promised to them one thousand five hundred and seventy-five (1,575) years before (A. D. 1), at which time the SABBATH SYSTEM was instituted, kept for a period of three thousand and five hundred (3,500) years (70 x 50 equal 3,500). This period of time (3,500 years) beginning from one thousand five hundred and seventy-five years before (A. D. 1) would of necessity end in the fall of the year A. D. 1925, for 1,675 years B. C. plus 1,925 years are 3,500 years, and equal to (70 x 50 equal 3,500). God sets His own dates, year, month and day. Jay Hear Him: (Lev. 25:9) "Them shall not cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month (Jewish, October); in the day of entitlement shall we make the trumpet sound throughout all your land." What, then, is the meaning of this Type? And what is God saying to the people of the world through it? God is saying to Moses, and through him to the people of the world: "Adam sinned; and I sentenced him and all of him to die by DY BYDING) (Gen. 2:17); this sentence shall remain in force against all of his children, from the day of his, Will Be First Free Library for Race In State A progressive program of extension work, including the opening of a branch library in Berkeley and the establishment in the city of a free library for colored people, was approved in the city of a free library in college people was approved by the directors of the New Public Library at their annual meeting this week in the library in West Freemason street.

SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Services in our church last Sunday were well attended as usual. The people came out in large numbers to each service. Our early morning prayer service is increasing in attendance. The Sunday school opened at the usual hour, 9:30. The superintendent, Bro. G. C. Madison and his quorum of officers are working hard to have every seat filled with scholars every Sunday. It is indeed a pleasure to be in our school. There were sixteen news additions last Sunday. At 11:30, the pastor preached from the subject, "The Friendship of Jesus." John 15:13. He pictured to us the close relation between Christ and his disciples. He said that "Sympathy is the cause of friendship, and friendship produces love, and love is friendship." Christ showed his great friendship to us when we were yet sinner. Christ died for us." He closed by saying, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." This was a powerful message. Every heart was made to rejoice and went away with a desire to have that friendship toward one another as did Christ and his disciples. After the sermon the pastor sang a good old spiritual song which echoed through the church. Nine persons came forward to unite with us. Immediately after morning collection six persons were baptized. At 3 p. m., a large crowd assembled in the covenant meeting to testify for Christ. The spirit was greatly manifested. At 4 p. m., the pastor in appropriate remarks welcomed to the church forty persons. He then extended to them the right hand of fellowship. After which the Lord's Supper was administered. Several visitors were present. At 5 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. had their exercises. The Bible reading was led by Mr. Geo. Wilson. After which the Junior B. Y. P. U. had a song service which was much enjoyed. At 7 p. m., the prayer meeting was conducted by Iro. Frank Burden. At 7:30, the pastor took for his subject, "The Criminal Better than His Accusers," Luke 23:42. He pictured to us Christ and the two thieves on the cross. One who rallied against Christ, and the one that saw Christ to be a friend to the worst criminal if he only believed that he had power to save; he saw Christ on his way to paradise and he wanted to be remembered. This was a very strong sermon. There being some who were guilty decided in their hearts to turn from their ways. There were fifty-three accessions to the church and a collection of $357.04. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Like a great navigator steering his ship against treacherous shoals, the pastor stood last Sunday morning before an audience that taxed the seating and standing capacity of the large auditorium. Rev. Bowling sounded the warning against "The Reproach of Spiritual Idleness" with reference to text in Mutt. 20:6. His hearers were stirred and moved with the result of twelve additions, including conversions to the church. During this service 19 candidates were baptized. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. made an excellent showing with increased attendance. The evening service was resplendent with many pleasing and superior features. It was Women's Night and also the beginning of the thirtieth anniversary of the Women's Missionary Society. The program included a brief history of the society, solos, duets, plantation melodies and a sermon by the pastor that fitted and appealed to both sexes. Rev. Bowling spoke from the subject, "Hindrances to Obedience," text, Gal. 5:7. During this service there were four additions, including conversions: Georgia Druggist Found Guilty Macon, Feb. 13.—M. C. Mitchell, druggist, was found guilty of poisoning his nephew, Henry S. Mitchell, ex-service man, by a jury in Superior Court here last week. The jury recommended Mitchell to the mercy of the court. The Georgia law fixes life imprisonment for such cases and Judge H. A. Mathews announced that he would impose sentence tomorrow morning. The State showed that there was $24,000 insurance carried on the life of the young Negro, $10,000 of which was with the war-risk bureau, and on each of the more than a dozen policies, M. C. Mitchell was the beneficiary. Irregularities in the death and burial certificates aroused suspicion and Government agents investigating the case obtained an order for the exhumation of the body. Chemists then conducted an examination, finding fifteen totwenty grains of deadly poison, as was testified to in court. Lawyers for Mitchell announced that they would file a motion for appeal in a few days. Mitchell showed no emotion when the verdict of the jury was read.

C.—The jury in the damage suit of Carter Tisdale against George Eubanks, colored, asking for $50,000 for slanderous letters sent to him and others damaging to his character, after deliberating for three hours, brought in a verdict of $750 for the plaintiff last night.

LENTEN SERVICES HAVING LARGE ATTENDANCE Increasing Interest Manifested and Influence of Messages Felt By All The gospel messages delivered at the Attucks Theatre each week day at 12 o'clock noon are having a spiritual effect upon the worshippers who are putting in their attendance daily upon these services. The short, but helpful and inspiring messages by the ministers who have addressed the congregations, have attracted widespread attention, and each day the audience grows larger and more deeply interested. The worshippers enter with all fervor and devotion that could be attendant upon a religious exercise and for thirty minutes the whole congregation seems eruptured with the spirit of the occasion. Rev. D. J. Lee, the rector of Grace P. E. church, under the auspices of which the services are being held, leads the devotions, and, one of the most prominent features of the services is the prayer and gospel hymns. Prof. C. Harry Carter presides at the piano and renders music that adds spiritual charm and zest to the singing. Citizens in all walks of life are attending. Business and professional men, teachers, laborers and school children all are gathering at the Attucks and taking part in the wonderful inspirational services.

THE THIRD BAPTIST The Sunday school is very largely attended each Sunday. Several persons join every Sunday. The school is a magnetism within itself; the much work done and its thoroughness is the prime inducement to join. The superintendent and his very efficient corps of teachers are giving time to the work and seizing every opportunity to take it to the height of its possibility. At 11 o'clock Sundays the church is crowded. Many are usually left to stand and the church is now considering what to do to better accommodate the very large attendance. The pastor, Dr. B. W. Dance, is now preaching a series of sermons from the "Seven Seals" found in the book of Revelations. He preached from the "First Seal" last Sunday. The sermon was very interesting and helpful to all who heard it. Interest ran high over the opening of the first "Seal" and many have pledged to sacrifice in order to attend each service during the series. He will preach next Sunday from the second "Seal." The church is doing well; only peace and harmony prevail in all the departments. At 8 p. m., the pastor preached another able sermon from 2 Tim. 1:12. The Y. P. I. League meets weekly and is keenly felt in the success of the church. They recently furnished the pastor's study with a full and regular outfit of such furniture and rugs suitable for comfort and ornament. The members of the League are truly interested in the church and are responding to every call of the church. The service of the two very splendid choirs is being realized more and more in the regular services of the church. Their singing is sharing a large part in helping the pastor to keep the fire burning. Visitors and strangers who attend our services are made welcome. JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCH (By H. J. Griffith) The Sunday school opened at its usual hour with a very good attendance. General theme, "Lesson on Citizenship." The lesson was full of wholesome advice. At 11:30 a. m., the pastor choose for his theme, "A Still Small Voice"—1 Kings 19:12. He labored to impress upon the Christians that the voice which came to them was a still small voice, but owing to its regenerative power the effect was visible. At 3 p. m., the memorial of our Lord's Supper was observed. The spirit of the Lord was truly present, which caused our hearts to burn within us. During the service twenty-three (23) persons received the right hand of fellowship and united themselves with the church. At 6 p. m., the B. Y. P. U. held its regular service, which was well attended. The discussion was very helpful. At 8 p. m., Rev. Mills spoke from 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18. His discourse was both helpful and inspiring.

LENT Awhile in spirit, Lord, to Thee Into the desert would we flee; Awhile upon the barren steep Our fast with Thee in spirit keep: Awhile from Thy temptation learn False Satan's wileful lures to spurn, And in our hearts to feel and own "Man liveth not by bread alone," O Thou once tempted like as we, Thou knowest our infirmity; Be Thou our helper in the strife, Be Thou our true, our inward life. And while at Thy command we pray "Give us our bread from day to day," May me with Thee, O Christ, be fed Thou Word of God, Thou living Bread. ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH The services at St. James were well attended and most impressive and inspiring throughout the day last Sunday. The Sunday school was large and full of enthusiasm, and Supt. J. E. Fulford, who had attended one of the largest Sunday schools in this vicinity on the previous Sunday, expressed much gratification over the favorable manner in which the St. James school compares with the largest schools in the Tidewater section. At 11 o'clock, Dr. P. A. Scott chose for his text, Acts 28:15, and delivered a most inspiring and instructive discourse on "Gratitude and Courage," and the choir thrilled the attentive congregation with their wonderful music. In response to the appeal by the pastor, two persons were added to the church membership. The Allen Christian Endeavor League held an inspiring meeting at 6 o'clock, with Miss Eva Archer as leader, on the topic; "The Kingdom of God in the Home," was able discussed by J. E. Fulford, Mrs. Penny Fulford and Dr. P. A. Scott. The League choir sang some very beautiful songs. At 8 o'clock, Dr. Scott used as his text, I Corinthians 15:57, and preached a soul-stirring sermon on "Life's Victory." At a meeting of the church and Sunday school boards, Monday evening, a membership drive was inaugurated for both church and Sunday school. The recital at St. James Inst Monday night, with Miss Rebecca James, the dramatic reader, as the star attraction, was one of the finest affairs recently witnessed in Berkley. She was able supported by Miss Copeland, Humlin and Brickhouse, and Mr. Russell, noted soloist, with Miss Vashti Palmer as accompanist. Dr. Scott will preach on special subjects next Sunday morning and night, and the joint stewardess boards will hold a special service at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to be addressed by able speakers. The public is welcome. TRINITY A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Last Sunday was a great day at Trinity. The Sunday school and A. C. E. League services were par excellent. At 11 o'clock, the services were largely attended and the pastor was happy in the delivery of a great sermon on 12:41. "Behold, A Greater than John is Here." Rev. Dr. J. E. Rodgers, of Campestella, preached a great sermon to the missionary sisters at 3:30 p. m. Collection, $40.00. At night, the pastor in his usual way brought up the rear. The charge is spiritually and financially alive. On the fourth Sunday, at 11 a. m., Dr. L. L. Berry, presiding elder, will preach. At night, the Passover of the. Children of Israel will be celebrated at Trinity church. The Business Men's Social Club of Portsmouth, will appear at Payne Chapel A. M. E. church Sunday, February 20, 1921, at 3 o'clock.

Music will be rendered by the junior choir of Emanuel A. M. E. church. All are welcome. Rev. J. O. Foster, pastor in charge. BANK STREET BAPT. CHURCH The Bank Street Baptist church appreciates the splendid manner in which its invitation of last Sunday was responded to. The large gathering was inspiring as was very much manifested by the spirit and power of the sermon. As was announced, the pastor preached from Deut. 32:11-12—"As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them on her wings; so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange God with him." The discourse was coherent in its entirety and characterized by a clear, practicable interpretation. The speaker showed a careful study and investigation of his subject by the unusual amount of information which he had at his command and the masterful way in which he handled it. There is no doubt that all who heard the sermon have a clearer conception of God's dealings with nations and men. In order to save the true religious spirit of our services, the church has seen fit to institute a new system of handling its finance. The members will be requested to make a definite pladge of what they will give each month, and to give it regularly and unsolicited. All moneys will be counted after the services and the report for the entire day will be given the following Sunday. We extend a special invitation to all to worship with us next Sunday. The text is not available as we go to press, but we do not hesitate to promise a special benefit to all who come. Morning services begin promptly at 11:30. Rev. C. M. Long, pastor. OCEANA CIRCUIT Last Sunday was a beautiful day at Greenwich, and the good folk turned out well both at Sunday school and morning service. The pastor, Rev. G. H. West, B. D., preached a forceful sermon, portraying the fiery trials and sore tribulations in the days of early Methodism, those days that tried men's souls and likened the founder of African Methodism to Daniel, who not only had a purpose, but who purposed in his heart. Holy Communion followed. The service was interspersed with "Amens," and "Hallelujahs." Next Sunday, February 20th, has been set aside as Dollar Money day at Oceana, to be followed on the fourth Sunday at St. John. Next Sunday at 3 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Smith, his choir and congregation of Mt. Olive Baptist church, will worship at Oceana, St. Mark's church.

Wilson and a few other friends gave a birthday surprise party last Saturday evening to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Poole, of Greenwich, in honor of her 74th birthday. Gifts were also sent by a goodly number that could not be present. A parlor social was given at the parsonage of St. Marks church, Oceana, last Monday evening, under the auspices of the Mite Missionary Society. A large crowd attended. A very pleasant evening was spent, and $18.50 realized. A prize cake baked by Mrs. Jennie Gregory, of Seatack, was won by Mr. Fonsbe Williams. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Williams, of London Bridge, entertained Rev. and Mrs. G. H. West at a delicious chicken supper last Wednesday evening. All the delicacies of the season were served at a dinner last Sunday in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Knight, at which Rev. and Mrs. West were guests. After dinner, Mr. Knight drove the party to Norfolk in his car, where divine service was attended. BANK STREET SUNDAY SCHOOL Our Sunday school service at 9:30 was very interesting and inspiring in every respect. The music rendered by our Sunday school orchestra was superb. It is very gratifying to note the interest and co-operation of our new pastor in regards to our Sunday school. The life of Christ, and the Baptist doctrine is being taught in connection with the Sunday school lesson each Wednesday night by the pastor. Visitors are welcome to attend these classes at 7 o'clock each Wednesday evening. Rev. C. M. Long, pastor; C. W. Stuncl. superintendent. DR. CANNON TO SPEAK AT ST.

Dear Editor:— We are with them once a month for the past ten months, succeeding the Rev. P. L. Bonne, of Weldon, N.C. We have raised over one thousand dollars within the ten months and about two hundred dollars in the Sunday school. We gave over a hundred dollars for missions and have had over thirty accessions to the church within this time. The good sisters of this church took their pastor by surprise last third Sunday night. After the rendition of a very excellent program consisting of recitations, papers, duets and solos of a classical nature, though in a sacred manner, they informed the pastor, through the very useful, serviceable and ready Deacon Jas. Pritchard, that a chair had been prepared in which he was to sit, and that he, the pastor, was the little boy who had been overlooked by the Christmas tree committee in preparing presents for the children during Christmas week. Thus the pastor was placed in a chair in front of the pulpit and a tree stood in the amen corner was uncovered and there revealed to human vision, decorating its branches, neckties, shirts, handkerchiefs, nice footwear, and even a handsomely made stick-broom, the result of the skill and workmanship of one of St. Elmo's progressive young men. The pastor emerged from that chair with such a load of that tree's groanings that Bro. Fagan had to render assistance by the loan of his spacious hand-bag. The pastor left with many smiles and much gratitude for the many Santa Claus presented by these good sisters. J. T. DOLES, Pastor. METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Last Sunday's services in the Metropolitan church were largely attended and very interesting, to say the least. Our Sunday school at 9:30 was as usual very interesting and well attended.

At the morning preaching hour we were highly favored with an eloquent and soul-stirring gospel message by Dr. D. W. Cannon, from the text, Matt. 11:27-30. This was indeed a strong, logical and forceful discourse and was well received by the large and appreciative audience present. At the evening preaching hour the Rev. L. H. Deans filled the pulpit and delivered a very good sermon from the text, Acts 9:20. Collections for the day, $131.78. Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. F. CHURCH It was Allen Day in our church all day last Sunday, beginning in Sunday school throughout the day. Our pastor, Rev. A. J. Nottingham, was at his best in the morning service, taking his text from Micah 4:4, subject, "Religious Liberty," in which he dwelt at length on our late Bishop Richard Allen, the founder of the A. M. E. Church. In conclusion he said, the Church should be like a city on a hill that can't be hid. Our evening service was taken over by the Allen Day celebration. The program for that occasion was as follows: Praise service led by Music Committee; prayer by Mr. W. T. Faison; statement by mistress of ceremonies, Mrs. Vessie Banks; singing, No. 32, "Jubilant Praise"; lesson text, "Thy Kingdom Come"—Matt. 6-7-15; responsive reading; address, "Richard Allen As A Founder," Mr. Henry Barnes; solo, Mrs. Mildred Land; address, "Richard Allen as a Citizen," Mr. Willie A. Johnson; solo, Mr. Alex N. Robinson; address, "Achievements of the Church of Allen," Mr. Jas. W. Davis, president of the League; solo, Mrs. Anna H. Davis; address, "Keeping the Spirit of Allen Alive," Mr. Simon Jones; song, "Marching Must Be Be done," No. 736, Hymnal; closing remarks by the pastor, Rev. A. J. Nottingham, D. D.; offering. HOLY TEMPLE "The Lord is in His Holy Temple; let all the earth keep silent," for surely he was with Holy Temple all day Sunday. The Sunday school was well attended and the lesson was beautifully illustrated by the superintendent. Let us by next Sunday add a new recruit to our school. The pastor, Dr. Chas. S. Morris, spoke at the morning hour—"What God Says About Divorce"—and gave to us an able and instructive lesson on divorce, which should be well imprinted on the minds of all who heard him, so broad did he discuss the sub- ject that it was impossible for him to finish it at the morning services, but finished at the evening service. The subject which was to have been "Thousands Will Be Loving When the Lord Comes," was postponed until next Sunday. The Holy Angel and Gospel Quartettes rendered some choice selections, which were well received. Let us turn out in large numbers next Sunday to hear this wonderful man of God. Sinners, strangers and visitors are always welcomed to your services. Last Sunday was a high day at Mt. Olive. At 11:59, the pastor, Rev. J. H Pilips, was at his best, and delivered a soul stirring sermon in Matt. 22: 21- "Render therefore to Ceasar the things that are Ceasar's, and to God the things that are God's. He is impressed upon his hearers their duty to their God and State. At 8 o'clock, the Lord's Supper was administered to a large audience. D.P.S THIS IS BR At All 64 D. P. E. D. P.

WHITE WOMAN ADMITS MISTAKE IN IDENTIFYING MAN ACCUSED OF ATTACK --- Pittsburgh, Pa.- The fact that the police system of this city must arrest some one at the time a crime is committed and the hysterical utterances of two white women, wiia "positively identified" the man us as their assault came near placing an everlasting mark upon the county, when William Wilson, arrested several weeks ago, as the defender of these women's sacred honor, and threatened with mob violence by the "justly enraged citizens of Wilkinsburg" was released Monday after the women admitted that they were mistaken, and that another man, whom they had also "positively identified" was the guilty party. At the time of the alleged assault, the dalles devoted columns of space in playing up the story. Wilson, at that time was described as a Giant with a large head and a truth Wilson is a medium sized man and as Judge Reid said in a commenting on the case, looks to be a "meritorious and respectable person." Monday morning the women appeared before th court of Quarter Sessions, Judge Ambrose B. Reid presiding with District Attorney Harry H. Rowand, Chief of County Detectives Robert Braun, his assistant, Robert Ochrane, and Attorney Robert L. Vann, counsel for William Wilson, and asked the court to grant a motion for the release of the defendant, charged with four different crimes against them. District Attorney Rowand addressing the court said: "In the matter of the alleged assault of William Wilson, a colored man, on these two women, I am presenting a motion for the release of Mr. Wilson. These women felt that this was the man that assaulted them. Acting on Attorney Robert L. Vann's suggestion, our department undertook to get the right man, and we had these ladies go to the hospital and they are now 'positive' in the indemnification of this other man." Looking around in a significant manner, Judge Reid asked: "You ladies say this is not the man "You ladies say this is not the man who assaulted you?" Both women answered in the affirmative. "And you have seen the man who is now in the hospital and think that he is the man?" "Yes sir, we are 'positively' sure," was the reply. Well then, what made you think that William Wilson was the man who assaulted you in what w. y does the man who is now in the hospital resemble this man?" "We-ll-1, they appear to look almost the same, and are about the same height and build, but the men in the hospital has a little longer mustache." Here District Attorney Rowan intervened, stating that they had found articles on the man to identify him as the real assault. Directly questioning Mrs. Gertrude Czolcowski, Royal针: "Are you the person upon whom the alleged assault was committed?" The woman answered in the affirmative. Then turning to Mrs. Lillian Bangham, who in a public statement following her unsuccessful attempt to shoot Wilson during the hearing on January 25, said that "I would have gotten him had they let me alone" and "I would do the same thing over again should the opportunity present it as Judge Reid questioned her closely. She finally admitted that she had not seen all of the alleged assailant's face, but had just obtained a side view. Commenting on the case, Judge Reid said: It is very gratifying to know that this mistake has been corrected. With no fault of his, William Wilson was placed in a very unfortunate position in the eyes of the pub. It was he up to oodium and criticism before the public. We should be positive in identification in matters of such a serious character. This is an example of how an innocent man may suffer. It is a pleasure to know in this case that this man is not guilty of any of the charges against him. This man took to me like a mitoriorous and respectable person and he should be cleared of the charges against him. If the district attorney will move that these various charges against the present defendant be withdrawn, and that Mr. Wilson discharged the court will be glad to entertain the motion and it will be granted. In reply Attorney Vann made the following statement: "For the benefit of the community, I largely want to state that Mr. Wilson is indicted county put forth such an effort to see that the right man was caught. If no other man had been apprehended, these same women might have appeared in court and sworn that this man assaulted them. And the jury probably would have convicted him, as he is. This country has escaped us as he is. This country has escaped us as he is. These women have proven that white women can be mistaken about the identity of colored men." In summing up the case Judge Reid said: The court relieves William Wilson of any further suspicions and an apology is due him by these ladies who possibly by reason of excitement and the conditions surrounding the attack, mistook him for the real assailant." Many of our readers will remember the tremendous excitement concurrent with the hearing of William Wilson before a justice of the peace on January 25, on a charge of malicious assault. "Williams was arrested the before," and after having been "positively identified by numerous women as the man who been frightening and terrorizing the neighborhood for several weeks, was sought by a mob of men and boys. The man was spirted away, to a safer place, until the preliminary hearing. According to the daily papers, feeling "ran high," "the situation was tense," and "authorities were apprehensive." At the trial Mrs. Bangham, principal mass, waxed hysterical during her testimony, and when Wilson, under heavy guard, prepared to leave the court room, smashed an automatic revolver from her pocket and screaming, "I'll kill you!" "thrust the revolver into the pit of his head and frantically pulled the trigger." Sound feet in the mechanism is responsible for the fact that the woman is today free, instead of occupying a cell, charged with murder. The outcome of this case clearly shows what a punish an innocent man shows what a great chance is presented to punish an innocent man. The question is readily asked. How many unfortunate colored men have been hanged, lynched and God only knows what all, on the word of some hysterical white woman who becomes color blind and careless when the opportunity presents itself to fasten some heinous crime upon some poor defender, daily papers. True to policy and daily papers, all or most of them, carried photographs of the woman who wanted to pull off a shooting match, holding her up as some kind of a heroine, but the real truth of the matter as published above will get scant or no notice at all from the shallow-brained city editor who can display nothing concerning a colored man but crime.

FIRST COLORED EPISCOPAL BISHOP HOLDS CONFERENCE IN ALBAMA WASHINGTON EDITOR STAGES UNIQUE FOOD SHOW TEXAS DEMOCRATS ARE BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA FIRST COLORED EPISC HOLDS CONFEREN --- Alexander City, Ala.—Alexander City, Ala., is a sleepy town of about two thousand inhabitants, in the heart of the Negro belt, between Birmingham and Opelika. The event of the day is the meeting of two evening trains, one bound for Birmingham and the other for Savannah, Ga., to which it seems that one-half of the town comes. Here, Tuesday evening, November 9, 1920, assembled the ministers of the Central Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, a large number of the laymen and many visitors from other parts, to be present at what, to the colored membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was to be one of the most important occasions in the history of the race. This conference was to assemble on the morning of the 10th, at 8:30, and to begin its annual session under the presidency of Bishop Robert E. Jones, D. D., L.L. D., the first Negro general superintendent of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Promptly at 8:30 on the morning of the 10th, the ministers all being present, Bishop Jones spoke to the conference, saying, "Brethren, let us come to order." A DAY TO REMEMBER The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered, after which the Bishop spoke on "When God Can Use Men Most Effectively" referring to the oft-repeated statement of Frederick Douglass that "God and one make a majority." Bishop Jones received a special delivery package from the Rev. A. B. Harris, of Oliver, La., in which was the ritual used by the late Bishop Matthew Simpson in ordaining his first class in Louisiana. The Bishop announced that he had in his hand a gavel which had been used in eight General Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and by fifty bishops presiding in the thirteen General Conferences. The names of forty-four bishops are engraved on the silver band of the gavel, which is made of wood from the old Masterson House, near Lexington, Ky., where Bishop Ashbury held the first Western Conference, May 11, 1790. Dr. F. D. Walsh, a retired minister of the Kentucky conference, in sending the gavel to Bishop Jones, said: "I shall be able to put another band on the handle, with the engraved account of its use at the first conference presided over by a Negro general superintendent." A PRACTICAL BISHOP During one session Bishop Jones spoke on "The Area Program." The New Orleans Area coor ferences, within which are about one-third or more of the entire colored membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It has thirty-seven district superintendents, and, counting supplies, retired ministers, supernumerary and effective ministers all together, about one thousand preachers. His talk was based upon the idea of doing little things—things that all can do. He stressed the improvement of church property, improving the church service and paying debts and staying out of debt. He urged upon the pastors to be community leaders. WASHINGTON EDINBURG UNIQUE FOR Food exposition held in Washington last week was a great affair and surpassed anything of its kind ever before held in the district. It was given under the auspices of the Washington Eagle, an American colored weekly owned and published by J. Finley Wilson, a most progressive race man. Never before in the history of the district has there been manifested any greater interest in an enterprise which had for its purpose the instruction of our citizenry in scientific housekeeping. The exposition was held from January 31st to February 4th, inclusively. More than ten thousand persons were in attendance daily and the interest grew so intense that the hours had to be extended to accommodate the eager public. The Washington Gas Light Co., and the Howard P. Folley Co., had on display TEXAS DEMOCRATS ARE BETWEEN DEVIL AND THE (By The Associated Negro Press) Houston, Texas, Feb. 17.—There are signs which point to the danger of the colored voters, in this city, capturing the machinery of the local Democratic party. The present primary election is the innocent cause of the situation. And so acute is the probability that local Democratic leaders have taken serious steps to bring about annulment of the law. This fact was brought to light last Monday morning in the court room of Judge Charles E. Ashe, where eminent counsel contended that the city had no legal right to bear the expenses of the scheduled primary election for the ninth of February. Ordinarily the primary law would have been allowed to go its way. But recently local colored leaders have shown a marked disposition to forsake the Republican ranks and affiliate with the Democratic organization. Lily-Whitism is said to be at the bottom of the desire. This fact was pushed out into the limelight at last Monday's hearing before Judge Ashe. Several colored men confessed that they were bent on going into the primaries to make a fight for recognition Davis, Dudley leaders. Not be glauc not forwers the prerehabilization to swain there. Macedon not simply to minister to the membership to which they were assigned, but to use this membership to reach the community and teach the people concerning health, education, moral and social reform, commercial and financial advancement. In conclusion he outlined his plan for keeping in touch with every preacher and every church. The singing in the conference was glorious. It was led for the most part by a man by the name of Ham, a typical Negro preacher, wearing the regulation cap, which fitted his head closely. One of his favorite songs was "On The Battlefield Of Life Be impressiveness, the audience rising to a Hero," which was sung in great its feet. At no time was there any great outburst of emotion. Perhaps the greatest demonstration was when the Bishop had outlined the area program. His final appeal was that all men could be good. If they could do nothing else they could be good men, and here he dug in deep. He touched their hearts and appealed to the best that there was in them. One great, big, strapping fellow, with gray hair and a very impressive face, ran Tomorrow's Nero The leaders for tomorrow among the Negro people must be Negroes themselves. No others fully understand the characteristics of the race in such a way as to be able to meet the varying crises that come to people emerging from ignorance into a world of thought and thoughtful action. trace leaders, however, must have thorough training. They must receive the best that education can give, be trained so that they have ability which is more than intellectual, and a broad vision of the difficulties of the road up which they would lead their race. It is no easy task to train the necessary leaders for this vision. The road up the hills of learning is steep and often difficult to follow. So much greater the need for guides who have the sympathies of the real teacher. Only these can be helpful on such a journey. Only these inspire the slow of mind to push forward. This has been found especially true in the education of the Negro. Handicapped by a consciousness that the upward road has in it hysteresis which his white neighbors are not obliged to take, the colored boy has frequently thought it not worth while to journey far on learning's highway. It is at this point in his development that a teacher who is more than a wage-carrier is able to be of genuine service. To point out the fields of usefulness open to the Negro race, despite the handicaps of birth, is to increase the number of leaders who shall eventually summon hundreds of thousands of these people to the joy and benefits of a thoroughly trained mind. Methodism may well rejoice that in a day of need it scorned criticism and did its duty, for today its home missionary work, along with its educational work, is making possible a new day for the Negro and therefore a new day for the United States. Bishop Jones, who is a product of the Freedmen's Aid schools, has had an unusual reception in the South. gas and electrical appliances to the amount of about $50,000. Food products put on exhibit were given by the Calmhet Baking Powder Co., Cambriel Wholesale Grocery Co., the Postum Cereal Co., Pillsbury Mills Co., and the Gaston Rew Fisheries Co. The Washington Gas Light Co., gave as the first prize a muron gas range, which was awarded to W. A. Taylor. A beautiful gas lamp was awarded to Mrs. Georgia D. Johnson, the wife of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, for excellence in cake baking. Mrs. Williams was awarded a duo point electric iron by the Howard P. Folley Co. Lessons in domestic science were in charge of Miss Inez McWhorter, the expert cook of President-elect Warren G. Harding. The equibit closed last Friday night, February 4th, with the request that this be made an annual affair. and a voice in government by throwing their support to such Democratic candidates as had shown a disposition to give the Negro a fair chance. The democratic primary has been heretofore purely a white man's primary and as it operates here and in other Southern States, has been practically the real election day, all actual issues being fought out in the primary. Colored voters sought an injunction seeking to restrain any interference in their voting in the primary and the democrats moved to annul the law, claiming that the primary was illegal. Messrs. J. B. Grigsby, C. F. Richardson, Jr., C. N. Love, W. L. Davis, Wm. Nickerson, Jr., Norman Dudley, Jr., and Perry Mack were leaders in the movement. Not a few Democratic leaders would be glad of Negro support if it were not for the fear that the colored leaders would finally take advantage of the power of a majority vote and thereby capture the Democratic organization. This is two bitter a pill to swallow oven by inference. Hence there has been a cry sent out from Macedonia and Judge Ashe has been called upon to come forward with help to hold back the impending "nigger flood." It is expected that he will render a decision which will determine the present primary law unconstitutional and therefore inoperative. If he has the "nerve" to do this the State Supreme Court will uphold the and thus save,sNbtocision on "for the public good" grounds and thus save, for the passing moment, the already besmeared face of "what supremacy" in the city of Houston.

Within a week two bombs have occurred. The first was a fire bomb, thrown on top of a four-story, 32 suite building, 740 East 45th street, near Cottage Grove avenue.

Nothing but the best run of pictures are shown and as an added feature the very best acts securable will be features. There will be two acts each week NOBODY'S CHILD DRAWING L "Nobody's Children" is packing 'em in at the Attacks this week. This picture is the first production of Mr. Maurice and it indeed is a hummer. If you have not seen this great picture, don't miss it by all means. Thursday and Friday nights this theatre was packed. Another crowd is expected Saturday. The story is a novel one. It tells of the death of the mother of two illegitimate children, a boy and a girl. A death-bed promise is made by the former that he will look after and protect his sister. The stepfather is a no-account type whose time is spent in the resorts of the underworld. It is during the search in a resort for him by the boy that a murder is committed and of which the lad is falsely National Benefit Elects Officers Washington, D. C.-At the twenty-third annual meeting of the stockholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, R. H. Rutherford was elected president to succeed the late Dr. Robert W. Brown, and was also re-elected treasurer; while Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's Hospital, was elected vice-president and medical director, S. W. Rutherford being re-elected secretary and general manager for the twenty-third consecutive time. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company is one of the greatest financial institutions owned and controlled by colored people and has achieved national prominence. It has meant much for the development in the life of colored Washington, giving dignified employment to several hundred young colored men and women.

The increase in admission is necessary to meet the added cost; but it is in keeping with the already announced policy of giving the people the very best at the lowest possible price. Because of the popular demand for vaudeville here, support of new program is assured. Because of the quality of the shows presented, this beautiful playhouse is fast becoming the meeting place of all Norfolk. acused, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. The step-parent abducts the girl and takes her to one of the resorts where he is known. The actual slayer is a dope fiend. He discovers the girl's presence in the resort and decides to aid the brother to escape from the jail so that he might rescue his sister. The consummation of this escape and the hand to hand fight which takes place in the room in which the stepfather had placed the girl, and in which the boy kills the unnatural parent, furnishes one of the most gripping climaxes ever seen on the screen. There is a vast amount of splendid character work done throughout the feature, that of Alex Griffin as the dope fiend being especially fine. Denounce Ku Klux New York, Feb. 12.—The Ku Klux Klan was decried and labor was called upon to destroy the organization by speakers tonight at a widely hernied meeting called by the National Association for the promotion of labor unionism among Negroes. The meeting was attended by both reacers. A. Philip Randolph, secretary of the association, declared the working classes of the North should unite against the Ku Klux Klan, and if necessary call a general strike if the organization "should dare migrate to the North." Orphanage Claims for Appropriations Heard Raleigh, N. C.—The Masonic Orphanage at Oxford and the colored orphanage at that place had their innings before the joint sub-committee on appropriations last night and both were represented by a number of prominent citizens. MAN SHERIFF FORGOT TO HANG MAY NOT HANG New Orleans, La., Feb. 9.—(Special)—Lonnie Eaton, whom the sheriff at Baton Rouge "forgot to hung," may be allowed to live or he may be hanged merely by setting another day for the execution. Attorney General Coco has two positions on the matter. As attorney general of the State, he said today all that is necessary is to carry out the sentence on another day to be set by the governor. Mr. Coco's SECOND POSITION As a member of the State Board of pardone and paroles, Mr. Coco said investigation had convinced him that the man should not be hanged. Charles McQuillier, a white planner, for whose death Eaton was to be hanged, was "killed during a fray," Mr. Coco said. In view of the opinion of the attorney general, to whom the governor referred the sheriff's request for instructions, it is the governor's duty to set a day and he must be hanged, unless the board of pardons and paroles grants the pending appeal for clemency. Sheriff Grant, who forgot February 4th was the date for the execution, informed the governor by letter that it was overlooked in the general press of the other business of the office. SHERIFF OPPOSES HANGING The sheriff, as part of the plea to the pardon board, had said in his opinion to hang Eaton would be a "travesty on justice." Meanwhile, at the Caddo county prison the Negro is eating three meals a day and seems just as glad that the sheriff forgot. There are some who recall the old Anglo-Saxon standby that a man cannot be placed in jeopardy of his life twice for the same offense, while others say that does not properly apply to the case, and, anyway, Eaton is not an anglo-saxon. Howard Defeats Hampton (By Charles H. Williams) (By Charles H. Williams) Hampton, Va.-Howard University basket ball team defeated the Hampton quintet by a score of 28 to 23, in Washington on Friday night, February 11th, in what was said to be the most sensational game played there in years. The game was the first big college game to be played in Murray's new Casino, which was packed and jammed, hundreds not being able to find even comfortable standing room. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE DEVILLE TO E TO PLA MOREHOUSE DEFEATS SHAW Raleigh, N. C.—The Shaw University quint was defeated 25 to 17 by the team representing Moorehouse College of Atlanta, Ga., in a game which, from a technical standpoint, deserved rating in the "excellent" class. The Atlanta aggregation, which claims the Southern championship, played in a manner befitting the holder of the title in the first half, leading the local team at the expiration of the period by a score of 14 to 4. However, Hudson, a tall rangy man, who was the outstanding star of the game, was disabled in the first half and without his service the visitors were unable to keep up with Shaw in the last period, the score for the period being 13 to 11 in favor of Shaw. Shaw played its usual consistent game and performed in creditable fashion throughout but the visitors caused them to take wild chances at impossible shots in the first half. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION MEETS Tuskegee Inst., Ala., Feb. 12.—At the recent meeting of the Southeast Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association, which was held in Atlanta, Georgia, Lieut, Colonel W. H. Walcott, Commandant of Cadets of Tuskegee Institute, was elected president of the Association. A constructive program was outlined for the coming year, that athletics might be promoted more effectively in Negro colleges in this section. The following schools and colleges were represented: Atlanta University, Clark University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown University, of Atlanta, Georgia; Tulladge College Talladega, Alabama; Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Florida State College, Tallahassee, Florida, and Allen University, Columbia, S. C. Much activity has been going on in the sport over weeks. The New Continental League is trying to get rid of quit the National Negro League and join agers have refused to do this so far.

American Giants Refuse to Join In Continental League Chicago, Feb. 13.—Negotiations of Boston promoters of the new Continental Baseball League with the American Giants, a Chicago Negro team, were ended today by John M Schorling, head of the Giants, who declared his team would not join with the new league in an effort to establish a branch of the Continental League, composed of colored teams. It took five years to form a league of eight colored clubs. Schorling said, and this season it is thought the organization to which the American Giants belong will have a complete circuit of eight park clubs and two traveling clubs. Lloyd Signs to Play in Western Circuit. Ten Others Follow Chicago, Ill.-John Henry Lloyd star shortstop, and touted as an equal of the famous Hans Wagner and who managed the Brooklyn Royal Giants last season, has signed with the Western Circuit of the National Negro League. It is probable that he will come to Joe Green. Ten other players, including Gatewood, catcher, Le Roy Roberts, pitcher, Brooks, center fielder, Louie Miller, third baseman, and Jesse Hubbard, pitcher. Hubbard goes to Columbus. Vanity Costs Him Liberties Omaha, Neb.—Jack Johnson, former champion heavyweight pugilist, has found some of his former liberties at Leavenworth federal prison curtailed as a result of too much self-admiration, according to Deputy United States Marshal Emmett Quinly, who returned from a trip to the prison. ORGANIZE BASE The Young Boys of South Hill have re-organized their base bull team for the coming season with a very large number of players. Last season they played quite a number of games and did not lose a game. Now our manager says he believes we can d othe same this season. M. Nunnaly, manager; E. Darley, captain; B. Harris, president; T. Lee, secretary; B. Cheeks, vice-president; E. Branch, assistant secretary. M'Vey Secured to Train Bob Martin New York, Feb. 13.—Sam McVey, one of the greatest colored heavyweights in the business, is conditioning Bob Martin, the A. E. F. champion, for his return Eastern debut of fifteen rounds with K. O. Bill Brennan in this city on February 18. Martin is training at Lakewood. In addition to McVey, George Christian, the California heavy, and Jeff O'Rourke are sparring with the ex-soldier every afternoon. Not to be outdone by Martin on the McVey assignments, Brennan got Kid Norfolk, his black thunderbolt, and Panama Joe Gans, colored middle-weight champion, to get the Chicagoan in shape. FUNERAL OF PROMINENT MAN HFLD a position never before held by any person of color. He entered Hampton Institute in 1887, and graduated with honors in 1891. He entered Lenonord Medical College, Raleigh, N. C., 1891, and graduated as class valedictorian in 1895. He practiced for a short while at Reidsville, N. C. He afterwards moved to Winston-Salem and practiced there six years. He moved to Suffolk, Va., in 1901, and was actively and successfully engaged in his profession until his death, Saturday, February 5, 1921. He saw service as a soldier in the Spanish-American War in 1898. He was president of the Phoenix Bank of Nansemond, president of the Nansemond Emancipation Association, director of The Tidewater Fair Association, and was active in all civic, religious and educational movements, a man of rare talent and deep and independent thinker. BUS TURN INTO CHAPELST. (Continued from Page 1) jumped and ran and did not return until the next morning. The injured were rushed to the hospital, with the exception of Mrs. Brewer, who was carried home by her husband. Willie Sparrow was arrested by Sergeant Rawles and Patrolman Sykes early Monday morning when he returned to get the car. He was arraigned before Police Justice Bruce Simmons in police court on a charge of recklessly operating an automobile and with making an assault with an automobile. The case was continued until February 24th to allow witnesses to recover sufficiently from their injuries to appear in court. All the injured are reported out of immediate danger. $100,000 WILL CONTESTED (Continued from Page 1) regular attendants upon church services and made infrequent visits to Waxhaw, their shopping point. Additional acres were added to the estate and it became known as one of the largest and most valuable in that section. About fifteen years ago the women made two wills, identical in all save very minor details, whereby each bequeather to the other the entire estate for her use during her lifetime and at her death to be disposed of according to the terms of the will. A total of about $9,000 was bequeathed to churches, Sunday school libraries, orphan homes and individuals in the neighborhood. The home lot of about five acres was bequeathed to Banks Presbyterian church for a monse, and all the residue of the estate, valued at more than $100,000 was bequeathed to this colored man, Robert Ross, and his daughter, Mittie Belle Houston. One of the sisters died in 1909 and the other lived alone at the homeplace until last summer when death claimed her also. Upon the death of the last named the wills were filed for probate. Immediately the storm broke. While it had been generally known that the bulk of the, property would go to the colored people, the relatives were not prepared for being absolutely cut off and a thousand acres of the best lands in that good section pass into Negro ownership in fee simple. Within a few weeks action was started to break the will by a few relatives, alleging undue influence upon the old women, whose minds they allege to have been unsound at the time. It is claimed by the caventors that the Negroes ingratiated themselves upon the old women and by misrepresenting certain conditions to them obtained the bequests by means of undue pressure. The will is being defended by the principal beneficiaries under it and by R. B. Redwine rd. R. A. Hudson, executors. One hundred and nine persons have so far made themselves parties to the other side of the action and it is understood some 25 others will become parties before the action is disposed of. the lumber mill. It was into this field that men, women and children were carried to their deaths from their seats at dinner tables. The fifteen-acre plant of the lumber company was not seriously damaged, although millions of feet of lumber were scattered about the field. The tornado spent its force locally immediately beyond the plant of the lumber company in the settlement of forty houses and four stores. Most of those residing there were colored people. The doctors found one little colored boy with a board driven into his forehead. They removed the board and gave temporary aid. The youth was alive and it is believed 'he will live.' The body of a three-year-old infant was found at the roots of a tree, the top of which had been twisted off. The child's head had been crushed in having been carried head-foremost from its home against the tree. One man's body was cut in two. A man and his wife were found more than a hundred yards from their home, lying side by side in the road, both dead. The bodies of several small children were found in trees, out of the path of the tornado, suspended on the limbs by their clothing. Chickens that escaped death in the path of the storm in many instances were plucked of their feathers. There were many animals killed. Half crazed people wandered far into Friday night searching the ruins of the almost completely destroyed houses for some semblance of their property. Many strange things happened. Two bird-dogs lay upon a matress.

Among the nearby debris was a shotgun and a baby's doll bed. As workers scurried back and forth clearing away the robber, the dogs kept their silent watch. Once they were run away, but they came again to resume their post. Dead hogs, rats, featherless skunks and one or two mutilated bodies of mules were on the ground—their blood sometimes mixed here and there with the dark splotches of that of human beings. The funeral of many of the dead was held Saturday with the county of Washington bearing all expenses. Red Cross workers did great work in relieving the suffering. The tight color line that is so dominant in the South was somewhat slackened and much relief work was done. Automobiles were used throughout the night in carrying aid, which included blankets, mattresses, warm clothing and other necessary articles to the stricken district. The officials of the Lumber company stated that the plant would be rebuilt at once and every help possible will be given the unfortunate people. All the nearby towns sent asucor to the people.
