XXI, No. 11 MOB SOUTH Ku Klux K Raleigh North With Mam ABOUT 100 COLORED PRESENT Grand Street Parade Headed by Cross MANY INVITED No State Officials Took Advantage of Offer Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 22.—The Ku Klux Klan, an organization that has become well known in the South, and whose influences the Negro race aided by many fair minded Southerners, are fighting, has made its appearance in this city by staging a mammoth street parade and holding a meeting at the city's auditorium here last Friday. Preceding the meeting in the city auditorium, members of the Klan paraded down Fayetteville street in the white regalia of the order, bearing aloft the cross, into the city auditorium where robed members filled the seats on the rostrum and acted as authors. Invitations had been issued to the Governor, State officers, municipal and county officers and numerous other citizens to occupy reserved seats. Only one official availed himself of the opportunity to occupy the platform. This was W. H. Penney, register of deeds of Wake county. A representative of the Klan addressed the audience, which was estimated as being over 2,000 people. He was dressed in the white robe of the Klan and asked the press not to publish his name. He pointed the codes of the Klan with a perfect white coat of falsehoods and bash so far as truth was concerned. As on other occasions, in trying to popularize the organization by booking on to some society or advocating some theory that is locally popular, the speaker denounced the liquor traffic. This was done because the racial feeling in this section is considered very good and they could not preach this doctrine and also because some of the prohibitionists here, thinking they can use the organization in the furtherance of their cause, endorsed them. The speaker declared "anyone who days that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are against the Negro race as a race or the Negro as a Negro, simply ties." He stated that the order has no fight with the Negro and waving a welcome to a hundred or so who or occupied the east gallery of the audiotium declared that they are welcome to any public meeting of the Ku Klux Klan. White supremacy was advocated. The meeting caused much a stir among the people of Raleigh. The Mayor T. B. Elridge received a petition from many of the leading men (continued on page 8) $500,000 HOTEL TO BE ERECTED IN ATLANTIC CITY Washington, D. C., Feb.—Mr. John W. Lewis, who built the palatial Whitelaw Hotel and Apartment House in Washington, D. C., which is considered the most modern colored hotel in the country, who organized and is president of the Industrial Savings Bank of the same city, has recently organized a company known as the Ovington Hotel Company, which is to erect a 100-room hotel and apartment house in the finest and most central section of Atlantic City, N. J. When referring to the project a few days ago, Mr. Lewis said: "This movement will result in increasing the comfort of the thousands of colored pleasure and rest seekers who visit America's most popular summer resort. Atlantic City is the recognized mecca for our people during five or six months of the year. Indeed it has a longer vacation season than any seashore resort in this section of the country.

STARTLING TESTIMONY PRESENTED Unusual Sayings of Witness Amuses Court MANY TESTIFY Mrs. Varner Smiles As Phone Girl Talks Greensboro, N. C.—The famous Varner-McRary suit and the suit of Mrs. Varner against her husband for "reasonable subsistence" that caused comment in this section by the whites. The court is now hearing the suit of Mrs. Varner against her husband. The testimony offered by the defense is rather unusual inasmuch as some of the things the men say can hardly be imagined in that section. Frank Koontz, of Lexington, former member of the police force, was the first witness called to the stand. He said that on or about July 15, 1918, while making his rounds over the city, he heard a noise in Varner's back yard as he passed. He stopped and entered the alley that leads to the Varner home, and a minute later ran into Baxter McRary. "Bax, come out of here," Koontz said he told McRary. "What are you doing in here, anyhow?" "Some of my cows got loose and I think they came here," he said McRary answered. Taking him on his word, the police-man testified that he asked McRary (Continued on page 4) MRS.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1921 PRESIDENT-ELECT HARDING COMPLETES CABINET St. Augustine, Fla., Feb. 22.—President-elect Harding has practically completed his cabinet state. The announcement of his secretary of the Navy was a great surprise to the nation. His rebuildup to be huffed over in appointing a southern white man was a distinct blow to the city-white faction of the party in the State, headed by Rep. Slemp of Virginia. Realizing a short time ago that, their chances were very slim of landing a cabinet officer, this band of political parasites gathered all their forces and made a grand goal drive upon the president's action with no avail. The tentative cabinet state as announced by Mr. Harding is as follows: Secretary of State—Charles Fergus Hughes, of New York, former Governor, Justice of the Supreme Court and Republican nominee for the presidency. Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon. Selectivity of the Treasury—Andrew W. Mellon, of P pennsylvania; a banker and financier, member of a family reputed to be among the wealthiest in the country. Secretary of War—John W. Weeks, of Massachusetts, former United States Senator, and in 1916 a candidate for president nomination. Attorney General—Harry M. Daugherty, of Ohio, who managed the pre-convention campaign resulting in Mr. Harding's nomination. Postmaster General—Will M. Hearn, of New York. Postmaster General—Will H. Hays, of Indiana, chairman of the Republican National Committee. Navy—Pawin Denby, of Michigan, a former member of Congress, who has served as an enlisted man in both the navy and marine corps. Secretary of the Navy. Secretary of the Interior—Albert B. Fall, of New Mexico, now a United States Senator. Secretary of Agriculture—Herbert Hoover, of California, former food administrator and conspicuous leader in various movements for European relief. DECLARES LEADERS TRAITORS Some Compromize for the Advantage of Few ACTION LESLANDED Leading Preacher In Winston-Salem, N. C. Flayed (Special to Journal & Guide) Winston-Salem, N. C. Respects utterances and actions upon the part of certain prominent men who occupy places of leadership among groups of the colored people in North Carolina have brought several criticism upon their heads from the rank and file, and the men in question have lost their influences as leaders. The following soothing denunciation of the disloyal type of leadership was given out for publication here today by a prominent business man. "The race is on the market. The price is rock bottom. Anybody can buy and the salesmen stand ready to deliver. Never before in the history of the world has the whole race been on the block. What do you bid? No camouflaging here. The proposition is down to brass tracks. What do you bid? Fifty years has been required to strip all flesh from the race body. Today the skeleton stands forth revealed, stark and bare. Anybody can look and see. Why the skeleton. Why is the race on the block? Who are the salesmen? The price is a mess of pottage. The salesmen are pseudo race leaders. Throughout the South are to be found such leaders—betrayers of the race. Only a few (Continued on page 8) Men's Day at Emanuel Rev. Dr. W. V.

Athens, Ga.—Seven thousand men, composing a mob from Clarke, Oconee and adjoining counties tonight stormed the Clarke County jail, secured John Lee Eberhardt, a Negro, held for the murder of Mrs. Walter E. Lee, 24 years old of Oconee County, and burned him at the stake after taking him to the scene of the crime, seven miles east of this city. Eberhardt is alleged to have killed Mrs. Lee, the wife of Walter E. Lee.

TO INVESTIGATE ATHENS MOB Only Crownstantial Evidence against Dea colore MANY PROTEST Action Demanded by Hundreds of Citizens Athens, Ga., Feb. 22—Thousands of people visited the place where John Lee Eberhardt was burned to death by a mob of seven thousand last week. This outrage has caused much unrest among the race people living in this section and the whites are fearing another exodus. There is much apprehension on their part because it is now time to start to work on the crops and there is already a shortage of farm labor here. The burning of Eberhardt was one of the blackest crimes ever permitted to be staged in the State. He was accused of shooting a white farmer and had been placed in jail awaiting trial. The Clark county jail was considered one of the best in the State and was constructed especially just for such emergencies as happened last week. The stairway leading to the jail is only three feet wide and is made of corrugated iron. The sheriff, had he wanted to, could have held the mob at bay for hours. Instead of trying to protect the prisoner he had sworn to protect, he pleidly turned the keys over to the mob in the end. Following recent by Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of personal visits and many letters from residents of Clarke and Oranee counties, demanding action in regard to the lynching of John Lee Eberhardt, near Athens last Wednesday night, it is considered probable that the governor will ask the judges of the superior courts of the two counties to call special sessions of the grand juries in the two counties and place the evidence he has received before them. Another development was the action of the executive in offering rewards for the lynchers totalling $3,000. Charges that Sheriff Jackson, of Clarke county, was guilty of gross negligence of duty when the man was taken from the jail on the top floor of the Clarke county courthouse, were made in the letters received by the governor. Information from the various persons in Clarke county, received by Governor Dorsey, is to the effect that the evidence connecting Eberhardt with the crime was entirely circumstantial. Governor Dorsey conferred with Dr. Plato Durham, dean of the theological department, Emory university, and Dr. M. Ashby Jones, prominent Atlanta minister, for several hours Saturday afternoon regarding the crime. Guide Quality PRINTING Brings Results TENCE CABINET North Carolina of Goldsboro For 4 Years ATTORNEY ATTEMPTS TO STIR FEELINGS Stopped by Judge Before He Got Started APPEAL TAKEN Jury Recommended Mercy Be Shown Prisoner Wilson, N. C.—Numbers of Wayne county representative, citizens appeared in Superior court here last week before Judge Calvert, at the request of W. W. Pearce, attorney for H. B. Futrell, who was found guilty of leading the mob that stormed the Wayne county courthouse on the night of December 3rd, in an attempt to get the five colored men charged with the murder of Herman Jones, a white grocer. Futrell was sentenced last Friday to serve four years in the state prison. More than a dozen men who know the defendant well testified to his former good character. They said he was a splendid yellow and good neighbor, with a kind heart when sober, and when under the influence of whisky, his whole nature is changed. All admitted that he should be punished for the offense, but some were of the opinion that to repair the damage to the Goldshore courthouse and a fine would be sufficient. Attorney Pearce worked untimely to save his client and in winding up his remarks started to utter words and that might tend to stir feelings, but Judge Calvert was quick and requested that he desist, and Mr. Pearce thanked his honor for the suggestion. In view of the fact that the jury prayed that mercy might be extended defendant the court sentenced him to the penitentiary for a term of four years. Notice of appeal was given and the appeal bond was fixed at $50 and appearance bond at $4,000. Rule Against Black Star Line Richmond, Va. Fev. 21—While formal application was made in last December on the part of the Black Star Steamship Company, which purported to be engaged in the transport of men and freight between the United States and Liberia, the Securities Division of the State Corporation Commission declined to recommend the issuance of the license. At the same time, however, the commission agreed to have a public hearing if such was desired. R. O. T. C. AT HOWARD TO HAVE BAND Washington, D. C.-The Reserve Officers' Training Corps Unit at Howard University has rounded out and completed its organization as a Battalion of Infantry by the addition of a band of forty-eight pieces.

While our people are not the least affrighted by such organization, still it is to be regretted that such an organization could find any soil in these parts upon which it could hope to grow. The leading people of our city, both white and black, are doing everything to make this a city where all citizens can enjoy peaceably their rights as citizens, neither infringing upon the rights of the other, all working for the common good. The present machinery for maintenance of law and order is adequate to meet all emergencies.

Fuller, president of the Phoenix Bank of Nansemond, Suffolk, Virginia. We understand that Saturday, February 5th, 1921, the grim reaper Death invaded the domestic sanctuary of that quiet, peaceful and happy moment that was, and took from its host our friend, associate and collaboror conveying his soul and spirit onward and upward. It is with a feeling of deep sorrow and sympathy for the bereaved family and the personnel of the Phoenix Bank of Nansemond, that we here record and testify to the worth, character, capacity and ability of our deceased friend. He represents that type of virile, prepared, progressive, aggressive and courageous manhood who ever-championed the cause of right and justice; who constantly voiced, gave expression and the proper interpretation to our highest hopes, aims, ambitions and loftiest ideals. He was often called upon to give effective service in mobilizing and organizing men, to the end that there might be generated, stimulated and propagated a better community spirit. His specialized expertise and is hallowed by the success that attended his efforts in business and professional endeavor. While we have sustained an irreparable loss in the death of our friend, we humbly bow to the inevitable and God's just laws of immortality, believing that He who watches over our destinies has the spirit of the departed under His watchful care, and on that great day will again connect the chain of relationship so recently broken. We finally commend the spirit of our departed friend and associate to Him who deoth all things well, trusting that he, too, will be found—as we expect to be—with the "Final Faithful" on that great resurrection morning when the first sound of the trump calls the chosen from rest to reward. We do now therefore tender the bereaved family, the officers, directors and stockholders of the Phoenix Bank of Nansenond, our deepest and most profound sympathy, trusting that the sustaining grace of the All-Wise Counsellor will strengthen, console, and sustain them in this their beaement, sorrow, and discomfort.

Expensively Compounded THE MADAM C. J. 640 North Indiana erman, Secretary; y, Joseph S. Tate, and was much enjoyed by those present. The singing was good, especially "Steal Away to Jesus," and "Old Folks at Home." The Southern Workman, Hampton Normal School, says that "Mr. Cherlin Chesnut has written the history of Frederick Douglass which should be a text book in the hands of the colored youth. His lips recall the lips of Joseph who rose from a slave boy in Egypt to be saved only to the king on his throne. Mr. Douglass, was always surrounded by a whole-some atmosphere. He never used to bacce or strong drink. He was clever of speech and pure in life." Not only should the colored youth read the history of Douglass, but of Dunbar, Phyllis Wheatly, Langston Grumeur and many others. Negro literature should be as well studied as th literature of the other races. A very lengthy article in the Tuskegee Messenger calls attention to Negro pictures, especially those of children which the National Child Welfare Association has specialized in. Do you own your home?

THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS The Frederick Doughlass Program was given at the United Presbyterian church Friday evening, February 14th 1. Have you stomach, lung, heart, kidney, liver under trouble? 2. Have you female troubles or any sexual disorder? No embarrassment, or exposure, and no armpit or armistic. 3. Performs you have stiff joints in the arms or legs that you cannot use naturally. This system brings forth a transformation. 4. Our method, and only stimulant, but eliminates the cause, thus permitting nature to permeate. Hours 6 to 9 P. M. DR. R. J. BAILLE, JR. 912 Church St. Cor. Cotters I. Parker, Vice-President; W. W. Forenian, Secretary; er; H. S. Evans, Chaplain; I. W. H. G. Joseph S. Tate. and was much enjoyed by those present. The singing was good, especially "Steal Away to Jesus," and "Old Folks at Home." The Southern Workman, Hampton Normal School, says that "Mr. Cherlin Chesnutt has written the history of Frederick Douglass which should be a text book in the hands of the colored youth. His lips recall the lips of Joseph who rose from a slave boy in Egypt to be saved only to the king on his throne. Mr. Douglass was always surrounded by a wholesome atmosphere. He never used tobacco or strong drink. He was clever of speech and pure in life." Not only should the colored youth read the history of Douglass, but of Dunbar, Phyllis Wheatly, Langston, Grummeur and many others. Negro literature should be as well studied as th eliterature of the other races. A very lengthy article in the Tuskegee Messenger calls attention to Negro pictures, especially those of children which the National Child Welfare Association has specialized in. Do you own your home? If not, start today, buy lots at SouthOakwood. See W. W. Foreman, Attucks Theatre Building. Supports Newspapers (By the Associated Negro Press) Springfield, Mass., Feb. 27—Newspapers offer the Negro one of his strongest aids in overcoming the obstacles which he has to confront, Rev. W. N. Derry, pastor of St. John's Congregational church, told members of the Colored Republican Club at the meeting here. He classes ignorance as equal to sin and crime and said that in its wake follows misery and destruction, which is unnecessary in these days when such wells of information can be found in the newspapers and magazines. Two Teachers Die in Washington Two prominent members of the public school system died during the month, Miss L. I. (Belle) Russell, a pioneer in the work, having died after an illness extending over several months, and Howard R. Thomas, a young man, teacher of geometry in the Armstrong Manual Training School, who died practically in his tracks, having been ill only a few days. Both were teachers in their work and the system suffers a loss in the death of these two educators. Justice Rules Against Colored Jury Washington, D. C.—Justice Hitz, sitting as a member of the Court of Appellals, declared that it is not necessary to have twelve colored men on a jury which tries a colored man on a criminal charge. The opinion was rendered on an appeal made by Garfield Preleau, who was tried in the Criminal Division of the District Supreme Court on charges of robbery and joy riding. It was the claim of the defendant that he had not been given a fair trial, in that he had not been given a trial by a jury of his peers, as provided by the Constitution, because the members of the jury were white men and Preleau claimed OF WOMEN that he could not get a fair and impartial trial. The trial court overruled the contention, and Justice Hitz remarked that the proposition may be dismissed with the observation that the trial court was correct in its disposition of the matter. Justice Hitz states that if the jury believed the witness for the prosecution, no other verdict than guilty could have been rendered. Prelenu will, therefore, serve his sentence of ten years in the penitentiary. See Race Men in Congress in the Near Future (By the Associated Negro Press) New York, Feb. 27.—In a recent address here, Dean Kelly Miller of the Junior College of Howard University, Washington, D. C., predicted that within six years there will be Negro representatives from New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago in Congress. This will be one of the political results of the migration of some 600,000 Negroes from the South during the last decade. He read census statistics showing the Negro population in New York to be 175,000, in Philadelphia, 134,000, in Washington and Chicago, 109,000 each.

The attendance was small, due to the showers of rain, yet the teachers present entered heartily into the lessons and made it very interesting. Despite the down-pour of rain, quite a number of persons attended the morning service, which was followed to the sermon preached by the rector—"No One Should Be Denied Religious Assistance or of Charity." Jesus has always found time to help others. The Holy Communion was administered to those present. This Sunday is co-operative communion for men only. Bishop Thomson will visit Grace church or companion M. M. Bickley 10:30 p.m. Instructions are being given to all persons who are to become members of the church. Everybody invited to all services. MT. ZION A. M. E. CHURCH (Rev. J. H. A. Martin'; Pastor.) In spite of the inclement weather last Sunday our services were well attended.

At 3:30 the Queen Esher Circle was to have had a sermon preached of the weather, very many were not of he weather, very many were not out and the minister who was to preach did not come, a lovely song service with words on chee from a man with the penmanship held. We were beautifully addressed by Mrs. Ryals from Second Calvary Baptist church. On March 4th, there will be an inaugural contest and concert given here. We are asking everything to be our candidate.

Services every night this week. Our series of services ends Friday night, Feb. 25. You are cordially invited to worship with us. JOHN M. BROWN A. M. E. CHURCH Owing to the inclement weather on last Sunday the attendance was very poor in all of our services. Our pastor, Rev. Nottingham, spoke from Mntt. 25:1-14, parable, "The Ten Virgins," in which he gave us a very interesting talk on this parable, which was helpful and inspiring. In his discourse he dwelt on practical Christianity. At night he spoke from St. John 7:31, subject, "Christ's Call to Priety." In this message he said, it is a noble thing for us to chant for righteousness and eternal life, for God wants us to thirst. In conclusion saying life blessed are they that do thirst and bless, for they shall have eternal life." On this Sunday night coming, the "Ten Virgins" will be given by the Busy Bees. This was postponed from last Sunday night on account of the weather. All are welcome to worship with us. MEN'S DAY AT ST. JOHN'S A. M. E.

ZION CHURCH The services held in our church on last Sabbath were of a very high spiritual order. The inclement weather of last Sunday cut our attendance by a large margin at all services. The Sunday school at 9:30 was truly inspiring, although the attendance was very small, less than one hundred, the discussions were timely and helpful. The Essex Class was the banner class again last Sunday in our school. Collection in our school last Sunday, $16.00. We are expecting you to be present next Sunday. At the morning preaching hour, the pastor, Rev. N. D. King delivered an excellent Gospel message to the faithful few present and was well received by his hearers. At the evening preaching hour the pastor again filled his pulpit and delivered another soul-stirring Gospel message to the delight of those present. Collection for the day, $11.70. Strangers, visitors and Friends are always welcome to all the services held in our church. ST. JAMES A. M. E. CHURCH (Mrs. Loren Riddick) Sunday was planned for a high day, but our expectations were not fully realized on account of the terrible weather. Fair sized crowds, however, present in the school and the morning worship. Our superintendent, J. E. Fulford, was at his post of duty at 9:30 ackee with a creditable number of teachers and officers. Mrs. Ella Bell, the superintendent of the primary grade, is a credit to her school in simplifying the lesson to the little ones. Our hearts were made to rejoice at 11 o'clock when our pastor, Dr. P. A. Scott, delivered a special sermon, Text, Psalm 37:5—"Commit thy way unto the Lord and He shall bring it to pass." Subject, "Reliance on God." The audience was held spell bound throughout the discourse. At 3:30 o'clock, Dr. D. W. Cannon, of the University, reached a most eloquent and soul-stirring sermon to the joint stewardess boards, choosing for his text, Matt. 26:10—"Why trouble ye the woman? for she bath wrought a good work on me." In response to his pleasing way of inciting sinners, two persons accepted Christ and were added to the church. The Allen Christian Endenvor at 3 o'clock was highly favored with the presence of Mrs. Rebecca Hodgers, who brought encouraging remarks to the junior. Her subject being, "The Power of God," Matt. 26:11, the Governor Goode delivered an interesting address, and Misses Mahaly Bady and Chariety Riddick sang a duet. At 8 o'clock, Dr. Scott delivered a brief message on "The Picture of a Happy Man," basing his remarks upon the 1st Psalm. Our mid-week services were largely attended. Class meeting each Wednesday night. Come and visit us and become acquainted with our pastor and people. Dr. Scott is sure to give you a Gospel treat, a hearty handshake, and a "God bless you." Pastor and people are now bending all their energies toward gathering the conference claims. Y. W. C. A. VESPERS Last-Sunday witnessed a delightful program at the Young Women's Christian Association, which was attended by many, despite the inclementy of the weather. The program was a novel one and very much enjoyed. Mr. J. R. Dungee, Jr., addressed the association on the subject, "Love as a Solution of Our Problems." He was followed by Prof. J. R. Dungee, Sr., who made a very timely address on "Self-Control and Obedience to Authority." Very pleasing instrumental selection was rendered by Miss Archer and Miss Kenny. After the program, the vesper group met and arranged programs for the next quarter, including a large church program to be announced later. Next Sunday's program will be conducted by Miss Addie Peters. The public is cordially invited to attend and is assured of a pleasant evening.

The Sunday school opened at its usual hour, and all who were present were very much helped in inspired. At 11:30 a.m. the pastor spoke from Matt. 25:11—"Afterwards came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us." He made plain to his audience that they must keep in readiness, for they know not when the bridegroom cometh. At 3:30 p. m., in response to an initiation from the Dorcas Aid Circle, Rev. Griffin and choir were present, Rev. Griffin preached a very strong and helpful sermon, and the choir rendered excellent music, which was well received by the congregation.

KNIGHTS OF GIDEON NOTES In response to an invitation extended by the eighth district, the Supreme Scrib, F. E. Puryear, left on Tuesday, the 15th, for Dundas, Va., where a booster meeting was held. At Suffolk, Rev. C. L. Griffin, D. D., boarded the train for the same point, this being the district over which he presides. We were met at the station by Sir Edith Taylor, one of the prosy- mers of men of this section, at whose home we were testing at a living there we were met by Sister Minerva Taylor with a greeting that told us we were welcome, and soon we were enjoying a most wholesome country dinner. On Wednesday morning, all things being ready, we were piloted to Taylor's Chapel A. M. E. Zion church, where the meeting was to be held. Soon buggies, pheatons, and wagons had covered the grove, all bringing receptacles of food. The meeting was held under the auspices of Lodges 321, 352 and 353, with Sir Samuel Willingham president; Mrs Renn Morgan, secretary; Sir Winnifog treasurer; Rev. C. L. Griffin, D. C.

"Admired By Every Man and Envied By Every Woman". OTHER FAMOUS EXELENTO BEAUTY PREPARATIONS MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH The services at Mt. Olive were well attended last Sunday, and amid the very inclement weather the Sunday school opened at its usual hour, 9:30, the school being largely attended and full of enthusiasm.

Friends, visitors and strangers are always welcome. BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH On last Wednesday, the 16th, the pastor underwent the operation of having his tonsils removed and was advised by his prysciatian to refrain from preaching for one or two weeks; therefore, last Sunday Rev. LuValle preached in his stead, having as his subjects, "Christian Preparedness," and "Christian Citizenship" for the morning and evening services, respectively. Next Sunday, Rev.

Bowling, from the topic, "People Jesus Could Not Win," text, John 5:40. In view of the fact that no revival has been conducted within the last four weeks, there have been over 200 conversions in the church. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were well attended. At 3 p.m., a glorious time was experienced in the Holy Communion service. After prayer, song and testimony the members proceeded to carry out the Lord's command. In keeping with the previous announcement, the evening service was observed as Men's Night. A large number of organizations were represented in a body, or by committee. An inspiring spectacle was presented. The master of ceremonies, Mr. Wm. M. Rich, in his welcome address, remarked that the organizations from time to time had been very liberal in our literary campaigns, which enabled us to maintain our community activities, viz: free employment bureau, day nursery, kindergarten, milk station and an old folk school, for which we are very grateful. This meeting is not a financial but rather a spiritual effort, said the speaker. The program included many musical numbers, and concluded with a masterly sermon by the pastor from the topic, "On the Watch with the Muster." Text, Matt. 26.38. Strangers and visitors are always welcome. JOHN H. HARRIS EXELENTO SKIN BEAUTIFIER Good for all skin ailments.

SOME OF THE TRAVELERS AID WORK There was a lass of fifteen years in a quiet little village in one of the Carolinas, who longed to follow the shining road of steel that led to the City of Dreams—more mysterious than old Cairo, more splendid than ancient Babylon. A friend, with whom her mother had not seemed especially pleased, had told her such wonderful stories of Norfolk, its are lights, the uniformed men and "movies," and she could almost see "Little Mary" or the ever-vivacious "Doug" smile down at an entrance audience. Her home village had grown drab and comcompece to her. She did not see misunderstood at home. She felt she hated Main street, the stuffy post-office; she did not want to go to Sunday school nor She wanted to get away from it all, to learn something about the great outside world. And so watching her chance she carried her clothes over to her friend's home and packed them carefully in her trunk, for this friend, too, was leaving in a few days for Norfolk. Together they planned that "Annie" would slip away her first opportunity after her friend had left and join her. Annie's folks were at a meeting, she quietly left. She came to station master and the few loiterers stationed on the station platform to see the 8:16 go out. At last, she was to live in her Coty of Dreams with all its lights and mysteries, its labyrinth of streets, its crowds, and its long lines of people waiting to purchase a ticket to see "Mary and Doug." But—as Annie stepped off the ferry the morning who do you suppose met her? She kindly eyes found her out, motherly eyes found her listened to all her dreams? "The quiet little woman" who wears the badge of the Travelers Aid Society. 100 CHARLESS S.

BY JUNE IS JOHNSON'S GOAL Association Has Done Much Good Since Its Incorporation a Few Years Ago—Is Bitterly Fought by Southerners New York City.—James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that the association was about to enter upon a drive to increase its membership to 250,000 before next June. In making the announcement Mr. Johnson made public the fighting program which the association had adopted for the coming year. Mr. Johnson's statement follows: "A quarter of a million people is a force which cannot be ignored. Neither Congress, nor the oppressors of colored labor in the South, nor the newspapers, can ignore a quarter of a million colored and white people determined that the Negro shall be given in the United States what the Federal Constitution promises to every man irrespective of race or color. "With a totally inadequate membership the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has already undertaken and carried to a successful conclusion tasks of the first magnitude. The brutal invasion and the explication of Haiti was brought before the bar of judgment of American law after a privatized world. Anti-lynchning legislation has been introduced, at the instance of this association, in both houses of Congress. The disfranchisement of colored people has been carried before the Census Committee of the House of Representatives. A campaign initiated against the Ku Klux Klan by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has met with the endorsement and support of labor unions in New York and elsewhere. Robert L. Hill, charged with leading the colored farmers in the fight against freedom and the causes of his companions carried to the State Supreme Court of Arkansas, which twice reversed their convictions. "These are only a few of the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1920. They will be extended and given greater power as the membership increases.

PALMER'S PREPARATIONS no hesitation in making a countryside appeal for co-operation and support, and for a quarter of a million members or more before next June, in behalf of the following programme for 1921: 1. Anti-Lynching legislation by Congress. 2. Abolition of Segregation in the Departments at Washington. 3. Enfranchisement of the Negro in the South or reduction of Southern representative if necessary. 4. Restoration of Haitian Independence and Reparation, as far as possible, for wrongs committed there by the American administration, through Congressional investigation of both military and civil acts of the American Occupation. 5. Presentation to the New President to theammoth petition of say 100,000 hammoth signers, collected by the various heroes, requesting the pardon of the soldiers of the 24th Infantry imprisoned at Leavenworth on the charge of rioting at Houston, Texas. 6. The Abolition of Jim Crow Cars in inter-State traffic. 7. Treatment of colored men in the Navy; where once many ratings as non-commissioned officers were held by Negroes, now colored men can enlist only as mess boys; in other words, as servants. 8. Appointment of colored assistant secretaries in the Department of Labor and Agriculture, which would give the Negro officer representation in the two phases of national life where he needs most and suffers most. 9. Appointment of a national Inter-Racial Commission to make an earnest study of race conditions and race relations in the United States. 10. Continuance of the fight in the Arkansas cases. 11. The successful holding of the second Pan-African Congress that the colored peoples of the world may gain a mutual understanding of their common problems. 12. The defeat by every legitimate means of the notorious Ku Klux Klan, both South and North. "In organization there is power. As I have said: a quarter of a million is a force which cannot be ignored. "(Signed) JAMES WELDON JOHNSON." ALFRED WHITE FRIEND TO RACE Tributes by J. B. Gregg R. R. Moton and F. G Peabody Delivered at Hampton Hampton, Virginia.—The services to Nergo education rendered by the late Alfred T. White, of Brooklyn, were recently described in some detail and with genuine thankfulness during the Founder's Day services held at Hampton Institute. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, said: "One is continually discovering how many there are in the North and in the South who have given, not only of their money, not only of their time, not only of their strength, but who have given themselves with their gifts in order that Hampton might have the more to give to others. One of these friends, Mr. Alfred T. White, has just passed out of the sight of those of us who are still on earth. Mr. White was an old, trusted, tried, ever loyal and devoted friend of Hampton Institute, of Tuskegee Institute, and of other schools and of many, many worthy causes. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, said: "Mr. Alfred T. White has been from the very beginning one of Dr. Washington's warmest and most helpful friends, and he had transferred that friendship to Dr. Washington's successor at Tuskegee. "I went to see Mr. White a few weeks ago to pay to him my respects. Mr. White insisted on my remaining for perhaps half an hour. He asked about many things at Tuskegee Institute—minute details of the working of the school; whether the students were happy and comfortable; whether the teachers were happy; and he asked what he could do. A father could not have asked any more intimate and sympathetic questions in relation to a school or to his own children than did Mr. Alfred T. White. "One of the handsomest buildings at Tuskegee, the principal girls' dormitory, is named 'White Hall'. It was given by Mr. White and his sisters as a memorial to a brother, Mr. Joseph White. After the building was finished, Mr. White did not like it because he thought it was a little too squatty, so he added a tower in bronze and put on a clock. "Mr. White, as I was leaving, asked me about our group of Trades Buildings that are just now being completed. He wanted to know about the cost and whether we had all the money that we needed to complete the buildings as we had planned them. He said to me: 'Major, I don't want you to have any debt at Tuskegee on anything you have got there. When you get your buildings all finished and equipped, if you have any debt, I want you to let me know. I want to pay it off. Perhaps I had better give you a check now. I said, No, Mr. White. I would rather you would not. He replied, 'Just as you say.' I mention this to show the spirit of Mr. White. It was not the money, but Mr. White's love for Tuskegee Institute that impressed me and others." NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Dr. Francis Greenwood Peabody, of Harvard University, prefaced his Hampton Institute address on the life and influence of Katharine White Van Sinderen, in whose memory Mr. Henry Van Sinderen, of Brooklyn, has erected a Rest-House, with the following tribute to Mr. Alfred T. White: "I have known some distinguished men and a great many good men, but I have never known anyone who combined so completely the opposite characteristics of manhood—the sweetness and the strength, the saguity and the simplicity, the worldly wisdom and the rational piety of character. Mr. White was in a most singular degree a spiritually-minded man of the world—active in affairs but maintaining an interior sense of the divine communion." Juc Pin you on me Gover and Schw Paris speci spec invest Wern An appear encer den The injury told to believe LEADING ARTICLE IN JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY Fifty Years of Negro Citizenship as Qualified by the United States Supreme Court by Dr. Carter G Woodson. This is the leading article in the current number of The Journal of Negro History. It is a study in constitutional history based upon the decision of the United States Supreme Court from the incumbency of Justice John Marshall to the present time. Dr. Woodson endeavors now that because of the inconsistency, and the reactionary tendency of that tribunal, Negro citizenship has been made a fiction. The Constitution as it was expounded by Justice Marshall and Justice Storey gave the Federal Government power to protect any citizen in the enjoyment of the rights guaranteed him by the Constitution. These principles were recognized and followed prior to the Civil War. When the Negroes became free, however, the Supreme Court receded from the position of using implied and resultant powers to secure to all citizens the enjoyment of their rights and yielded to the reactionary doctrine of leaving the Negro citizen at the mercy of the States, which, according to the doctrine of divided sovereignty must exercise police power over persons and property regardless of their claims as citizens who are by the Constitution guaranteed certain rights which neither States nor individuals can legally take every Left then at the mercy of their former oppressors, the Negro has had his rights gradually encroached upon by the autocratic former master class until law for the Negro in most parts now means the will of the particular white man who may be lording it over the Negro. Dr. Woodson, therefore, observes with a feeling of disappointment this prostitution of an important department of the Federal Government to the use of the reactionary forces in the United States endeavoring to whittle away the essentials of the Constitution which guarantees to all persons in this country all of the rights enjoyed under the most progressive democracy on earth. Hampton Pamphlets Used in Many State Schools Hampton, Va.—In response to the public demand for non-technical, interesting pamphlets, which can be used by class-room teachers and supervising officers, Hampton Institute has issued some new leaflets and revised editions of leaflets that have been used in white and colored schools: (1) "Games for Elementary Schools," by Julia E. Davis, teacher of Physical Training, Washington, D.C., and Charles H. Williams, director of Boys' Physical Training at Hampton Institute. (2) "How to Teach Canning and Jelly Making in Rural Schools," by Carrie Alberta Lyford, director of Home-Economics School, Hampton Institute, and Alma Kruse of Freeport, Ill., who has taught in the Hampton Institute Summer Session for Teachers. (3) "How to Celebrate Easter in Schools," by Sarah J. Walter, principal of the Whittier Training School of Hampton. (4) "How to Teach Cooking in Rural Schools," by Amelia A. C. Gilbert, formerly in charge of the Domestic Science Department at Hampton Institute. (5) "Beautifying Schoolhouses and Yards," by Sarah W. Brown. (6) "Housekeeping and Sanitation in Rural Schools," by Ellen Taylor, of Norfolk, Va., and Sarah J. Walter. (7) "Sewing for Rural Schools," by Caroline D. Pratt, in charge of Household Arts at Hampton Institute. (8) "Home Decoration: Interior and Exterior," by Leigh Richmond Miner, director of Applied Arts at Hampton Institute. These leaflets are distributed through the Hampton Institute Publication Office. CHARGED WITH FRAUD Winston-Salem, N. C., Feh. 26—Charged with using the mails to defraud, C. D. Douglass, proprietor of the Union Bloodhound Detective Agency was arrested by a United States deputy marshal and placed in jail in Statesville. His scheme, it is said, was to use circulars and newspapers advertising in the United States and sell detective commissions at $3 and badges at $2.90. From all accounts he did a good business. He protests he is innocent. Judge Denounces Lynching Attempt Plaque Mine, La., Feb. 25.—When you put the stamp of your approval on mob action, you invite the kind of Government that prevails in Russia and Mexico," declared Judge C. K. Schwing in his charge to the Iberville Parish grand jury at the opening of a special session of the district court to investigate the lynching of George Werner. Among the wintesses summoned to appear before the grand jury is Governor Parker, who issued a statement denouncing the lynching of the man. The governor appeared before the jury for a short hearing. What he told the jurors is unknown, but he is believed to have reiterated his former statements that he wanted lynching stopped, and quicker action taken by grand juries and judges. Werner was charged with shooting Numa Tircuit, a young planner, of Herville parish, about a week ago. Tircuit is reported in a serious condition with little hope of recovery. He tried to escape, but was taken from a train by a mob at Port Laun, La, and hung to a telegraph pole, after he had been shot by a deputy sheriff while resisting arrest. It is now alleged by certain parties that he died of his wounds before being hung by the mob. From the Atlanta Independent Largely when a Negro banker approaches a Negro or a Negro corporation for a deposit, he is met with the argument, "We must put our money in the bank that is safest—a bank that is able to help us." Selfishness to start with. They forget that the white bank is able to help them for the reason that all the white people and a majority of the Negroes deposit their money in white banks. In their weakness to court favor of the white man, they overlook the fact that if all Negroes and Negro corporations would put their money in Negro banks, that Negro banks would be just as able to accommodate them as white banks. One of the most glaring pieces of hypocrisy practiced is by Negro corporations. The average Negro society or business gets all its money from Negroes, and its chief stock and trade is "patronize me because I am 1 Negro." And the minute they get enough money to deposit, they carry it to a white bank in order to court favors of the white man. They may put a few dollars in a Negro bank and check it out daily, but the bulk of their funds is in the white bank. The average Negro doesn't seem to know that a national bank, State bank, white bank or Negro bank is no more safe, sound and reliable than the honesty and integrity of the banker. Because the banker is white it does not make the money safe any more than it makes it unsafe because the banker is black. It all depends upon the honesty of the officer. A striking example of Negro fool-heartedness, hypocrisy and sophistry is demonstrated in the case of the Grand Lodge of K. of P. of Georgia. These officers are indeed sparing and grudging in making deposits with Negro banks. And yet, they have never lost a dollar in a Negro bank. Not in the memory of man can it be remembered that a Negro bank broke in Georgia. Just a year or two ago a white bank went under and the K. of P.'s lost thousands. Just a few months ago another white bank went under and we K. of P.'s lost $25,000, more or less. The officers seek to keep this a secret. Why, we don't know. They are not careful enough in depositing their funds. If this money had been placed in the Wage Earners' Bank, the Atlanta State Savings, or the Negro bank in Macon, or the Negro bank at Waycross, not a dollar of it would have been gone. It is about time the K. of P.'s in Georgia are taking their officers to task for placing their money in white banks for the purpose of getting favors and benefits for themselves in order to have the white people say in the community where they live, that they are good Negroes. These Negro officers put money in banks without regard to soundness. They go to the Grand Lodges, read beautiful essays, talk about the thousands of dollars they have, but when money is stolen or lost in broken banks, no mention is made of it. But they undertake by stealthy means to raise funds under dubious names for the purpose of reimbursing the Grand Lodge for money lost in trading for personal favors. A weakness among Negro bankers is that they play to the galleries—they argue with other Negroes, "put your money with us because we are Negroes, and you ought to build up Negro institutions." But just as soon as they get more money in the bank than they feel is safe to hold, they fail to put in a Negro bank, but hunt up a white bank and put their money in it. Another example of hypocrisy andVACILIATION—begging for deposits in their banks because they are Negroes and as soon as they get Negroes' money, they take it to a white bank and deposit it. The Negro depositor had just as well take it to the white bank himself as to give it to the Negro banker, who will deposit it in a white bank for the purpose of having the white man say, "He is a good Negro." The Independent is going to wage war on all hypocrites, all devils and liars. We are going to demand a square deal for everybody. We are going to be clean and not invade the privacy of any home, but the public conduct of public officers is public property, and the Independent is going to handle it in the interest of society. MANY OF US IN COLUMBUS Washington, D. C., Feb. 25.—The Negro population of Columbus, O., in 1920, was announced by the census bureau as 22,091, an increase of 9,952, or 73.4 per cent. The white population was 214,899, an increase of 46,100, or 27.3 per cent, and all others 131. By Clifford C. French Louisville, Ky., Feb. 22.—The First Standard Bank opens for business Saturday, February 5th, in temporary quarters at 7th and Walnut streets. The bank was organized by Wilson Lovett, a young aggressive business man of keen perception and insight, who has given the city of Louisville its first colored bank, which is a State bank. The stock, to the amount of $110,000, is fully subscribed, and no stock at all can be obtained at this time. The stockholders have already purchased a lot for the building of a permanent home and contemplate the building of a $60,000 bank early in the summer. The bank will operate a commercial and savings department. TREATMENT E if it don't give s PROF. J. H. Great Legacy to th TATMENT ENTIRELY F don't give satisfactory resu PROF. J. H.

Big Vaudeville Bill At The Attucks Allen & Stokes Headliners—Clever Singing and Dancing Feature—Large Crowds Turning Out—Popularity Growing The change in policy from straight moving pictures to pictures and vaudeville has met with the general approval of the patrons of the Attucks. The bad weather Monday night kept many from attending, but Tuesday night the house was packed top and bottom. The vaudeville bill offered on a whole was very good. The first act, Green and Green, was much out of place. They had no quality or class that the audience could appreciate. In order to score here they will have to bring their act up to the present day standard of high class housings and cut out the back alley stuff. The act of Bell and Bell was well costumed. They had some very clever jokes and were fair dancers. The act was put over in fine style, and they deserve credit for their work. Allen and Stokes proved the headliners.

Miss Stokes' costume was the envy of every woman in the audience and the admiration of every man. She has a very pleasing voice and is not heavy on her feet. Mr. Stokes is every inch the comedian he is supposed to be. His movements are all natural and he puts his work over with both class and pep. In duct work, he and his able partner are well matched. His minor notes on his trusty violin brought the house down. Their songs and jokes are all snappy. The popularity of vaudeville at this house will grow immensely if it is kept at standard set by Allen and Stokes and Bell and Bell. An entirely new show started on Thursday, beginning with Matinee. An exceptional picture program is billed for the last of the week. For real shows they are certainly putting them over at the Attucks now. Do you attend? . (By The Associated Press Press) New York, Feb.—The growing importance of the colored actor in both the film and the field is attested by the fact that the Bill Board, the leading American publication devoted to the amusement field, has opened a department devoted to news affecting colored performers. This feature page is edited by J. A. Jackson, late of the daily New York Globe, and is attracting wide attention among both white and colored actors, and theatre managers. Mr. Jackson who sees great possibilities in this recognition on the part of the Bill Board, brings to the work ability of a high character. Widely troubled, a man of large acquaintance with an intimate knowledge of the stage as an author of the really capable writers of the Rare from now on the ability of the colored thespian is certain to be fitted portrayed. Mr. Jackson is now on a 4,000-mile trip during which he is looking over the field in the Eastern and middle Western States. HOW ABOUT HARRY WILLS? In discussing the field of heavyweights last week, Grantland Rice, the noted sport authority, had the following to say about Harry Wills, who today is thoumst drenched man since the days of Jack Johnson: Tommy Gibbors, Harry Greb, Harryey Wills, Bob Martin, Marty Burke, Gene Tunny, Ray Smith, and Bob Roper are would-be heavyweight champions. Harry Wills is rated far and above any of these fighters in the matter of ability, but because of his color there is no great demand that Dempsey meet him. Fulton's elimination at Bills' hands in three rounds shows his class, however. Meanwhile, promoters and managers everywhere are pumbling the bushes for new heavyweight prospects. It is the same old story—create a new champion an alten dig up a man to dohdrone him. It was ever thus and ever will be. But sp far us we can see into the future, unless we have overrated Dempsey's physical ability, the champion stands better than an even chance to retain his crown this year. Every champion "gets his" sooner or later. Some day an unberalded butterfly may come along and knock the Salt Lake lad into the ash heap, provided he does not retire undefended. But that day does not appear to be in the immediate future. KID NORFOLK IN PRELIMINARY BOUT 1 New York City.—The preliminary lights brought out large crowds much earlier than usual. Some of the buits proved very interesting. The third contest ended in the second round in the disqualification of "Pinkey" Lewis, a former colored heavyweight, for holding an opponent, Kid Norfolk, (40) holds the Rickard belt as the Negro light-heavyweight champion. Bolk, like Harry Wills, is finding it rather hard to find worthy opponents. GEO. W. ESKRIDGE IS AN EXPERT WATCH REPAIRER One of the most promising business lines now being entered by men of the race is the jewelry and watch repairing. While one of the most technical, it also calls for much experience. Perhaps Norfolk, more than any other town of its size, has more of this kind of business than is usual, and all of them are first-class. One of the foremost and most progressive of these is the Daisy Jewelry Repairing Co., of which Mr. Geo. W. Eskridge is proprietor. Mr. Eskridge is a man of unusual ability and grit. He is a very keen student of business and a close observer of the technique of his work. He has had a wide experience in his line and has qualified as an expert. Coming to this country at the early age of ten, landing in New York City, he started to work as elevator boy at the plant of the Union Jewelry The refusal of Mr. Schorling, owner of the American Ghosts, and the old White Soil's Park in Chicago, to join in the new Continental League has particularly soaked the death knell to the new organization in its quest for colored teams in the West. Hud Mr. Schorling decided to withdraw his team from the National Negro League, it would have had a very demoralizing effect on the other club owners. As Rube's team is the hub of the organization and also, he is the president of the league, it would have placed the old titan in a bad light with the public. Many of those who have been skeptical about the new league of colored teams, (The National Negro League) can now look forward to its second year with much hope. With the experience gained from last year, both managers and players will be better prepared to give the fans a higher grade of base ball this year than last, and with such men as C. I. Taylor and Rube Foster to guide its course, the coming season will in all probabilities far exceed the gate receipt record of last year. The action of Mr. Schorling means that Nat Strong, the Hebrew Menace to colored base ball, will soon find out that Palestine will be a far better place for his activities than the western and some of the eastern sand lots. This actusus has tried to encircle every ball park in the country in his effort to control and keep down the race managers and owners. The race men have learned their lesson from Mr. Strong and are now prepared to give him more battle in his own corner than he can stand. The action of Lloyd and ten others in leaving Strong's Royal Giants and going to the race organization was just the thing any man would do under the circumstances. The National Negro League can give them just as good a contract, or better than Strong ever could or will. It is high time that all the players who are still under the suppressing joke of unurpations white owners do the same thing. The sporting element it seems must show the way to the other groups of our race and as they have so bravely started out in the right direction, let every player and fan encourage them onward; maybe some of the other groups some day will follow their lead. Our friend Harry Wills is finding it extremely hard to get a worthy opponent to square off in the ring with him. Dempsey is not turning out to be the lion he was labeled. The more he hears of Wills, the less he wants to have anything to do with him. A watchful waiting policy is about the only thing left for Harry at this stage of the game. A problem for some grammar school students. If it takes 7,000 Georgia Crackers to capture one colored man, who is confined in jail and unarmed, how many crackers would it require to capture an army of 10,000 colored men, armed with plenty of ammunition? Figure this out and show it to your neighbor. and Watch Co. M1343 Stuart Lane. Being a very bright fellow, he was soon promoted to messenger in the office. Taking up his work with new vim, he was soon promoted to workman's bench in the factory, as a main spring winder; from there he went to another bench as a maker of parts. Continuing his upward rise, he was soon promoted to the work bench. This was the most difficult part of all the work in the plant. He worked at the bench 17 years. Becoming tired of, working for another, he decided to go into business for himself. After stopping in Newark, N. J., for a short time, he came to Norfolk. Since coming here he has had wonderful success. His shop is located at 1122 Church street, and is always full of work. He is an expert on all makes of watches, including Swiss. He not only can fix them, but can make all the parts necessary. His work is absolutely guaranteed and is of the highest class. Out-of-town work is given special attention. He earnestly invites the public to inspect his modern shop at 1122 Church street. Child Born to 83-Year-Old Couple New Bern, N. C. --- Reports of the birth of a child in Pollacksville to a colored couple, both aged 83, were confirmed last week when persons acquainted with the couple added also that both the mother and the father were white-haired, and showed every evidence of the age they claimed. The child was born several days ago, and a local photographer has received an order for films to take pictures of the father, mother and child. Believes in Prayer Clyde Ga., Feb. 15--Israel Waters, who is in jail on the charge of having assaulted a colored girl, believes in the efficacy of prayer. He attributes his escape from death at the hands of a mob of his own people early last week to his appeals to those about to put him to death to pray for him. EMPORIA, VA. Sunday being a very stormy day the attendance at Royal Baptist Sunday school was not very large. The lesson was very interesting, and though the attendance was small, each one left, feeling benefited from what they had gained from their different classes. Miss Mary E. Walker spent the weekend in Richmond visiting her mother, Mrs. Pattie Williams, and her sister, Mrs. Carrie Stokes. She was accompanied by her niece, Misses Anne Louise Williams. Miss Mary E.

Object to Minimum Wage Law in Texas (By the Associated Negro Press) Houston, Texas, Feb. 21.—The minimum wage law which is to be introduced at the coming session of the legislature is sure to cause a bitter fight in this State. The objection to the law is based largely on the fact that it is applied fintly over the State to colored, white and Mexican women alike. The Texans contend that colored and Mexican women should not receive a guarantee of $12.00 per week, and while the Federation of Labor is fighting for the 'bill it probably will be defeated.

He informed the signers that he did not believe there was any basis for the alarm expressed in the petition and that he didn't think the race has reason to be uneasy. Among the signers of the petition Lesides Dr. Peckey were: L. A. Creek, Rev. J. W. Ligon, Dr. G. S. Penny, Dr. M. T. Pope, George L. Lane, Dr. P. H. Williams, Rev. A Myron Cochran, Charles R.

C. AT HOWARD (Continued from Page 1) Rhodes, U. S. Army, had been ordered to the University for services. Sergeant Rhodes was formerly band master of the 351st Field Artillery Band overseas, and had served many years in the regular army as Band Sergeant of both the 9th and 10th Cavalry bands. He is a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of New York City, and a better equipped man to organize the new band cannot be found. Every hour that does not interfere with the duty for which he was ordered to Howard University is spent in whipping the band into shape, and under his supervision the R. O. T. C. Band of Howard University bids fair to become a first-class organization. There is now an enrollment of 50 R. O. T. C. members and a waiting list of as many more. AMERICAN WOODMEN (Continued from Page 1) In fact, it is unequalled by any insurance company among our group. The American Woodmen entered the State of Virginia last July and now have three camps established, One in Richmond, Norfolk and Petersburg. The valuation of the Woodmen's policies is placed at 111.9 per cent by the Actuary of the Fraternal Congress, of which the Woodmen is a member. He says that the average fraternal society is below 75 per cent; therefore, the American Woodmen certificates are 31.9 per cent above the average fraternal certificate, and he pays the Woodmen a compliment for the fine showing. Hon. C. M. White, the Supreme commander of this great society, is to be in Norfolk the latter part of March 11 will address a mass meeting while it will be a treat to Norfolk to this great leader and business man for its guest. He travels the country over and will bring abundant information of the conditions that are undergoing the race throughout the country. The American Woodmen have established a camp and an office here in Northville, in 2007 Attack Theatre building, with J. A. G. LaValle as deputy, in the chair. DECLARES LEADERS TRAITORS (continued from page 1) weeks ago the president of one of our State colleges came out in a news paper in which grossly misrepresented the main ideals of the race. A short time later that number of our college presidents had taken a position equally as humiliating. The latest race the man to discover himself is a minister—an recent arrival from Florida South. In this city are representatives of many insurance companies owned by the race. There are scores of colored men who set agents and medical examiners and whose living depend wholly on race patronage. Yet this reverend, astonishing the thinking public by going actively in the field for a Texas insurance company owned and operated by the opposite race. Each day he may be seen piloting two white insurance agents into homes of colored people, where he uses all his persuasive power and his influence as pastor of a big church to get business for these white agents, who represent a white company. How can race enterprises develop when such men maintain a strangle hold upon the unthinking and the ignorant? How can the industrial shackles now binding the race body be driven off, or destroyed? The only hope for the race is publicity. Let the spotlight be turned pitilessly on all betrayers, betrayers of the race and this can be done only through the race press. Who are the traitors in your town? Be sure of your facts, then publish and drown out the traitors." Declares Turner Must Die Richmond, Va., Feb. 18.—William Turner must die for the murder of T. Morgan Moore, torpedo expert, on Government property at Alexandria, Va., last May, according to a decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals handed down here last week, and which sustains Turner's conviction in the United States District Court, at Richmond. The date for the execution having passed, United States District Judge Waddell will have to pass sentence again. The execution will take place in the court yard of the Henrice county court-house here and will be 'irginia's first legal hanging in years, s the State statutes provide for elec-rcution. Church Feeding Unemployed (For the Associated Neuro Press) Buffalo, N. Y., Feb. 21.—Five hundred to six hundred unemployed men are being fed each day in Floyd's Memorial church here. All persons out of work and really in need are welcome to come, says C. A. Sims, 164 Michigan avenue, chairman of the dinner committee. "Although this work is being conducted solely by colored folks; we do not discriminate between blacks and whites," he said. The menu offered the men out of work consists of soup, white bread and such other articles of food as are donated. Since last Wednesday, when this mission work was started, 1600 hungry men have been fed. Sims says.
