NEWS OF THE WEEK AROUND WASHINGTON NEWS OF THE WEEK AROUND WASHINGTON JOURNAL AND GUIDE BUREAU By DANIEL W. CHASE P. O. BOX 1695 Washington, D. C.—The trial of Garrie Johnson, alias Clara Johnson, has been resumed, or rather the new trial has been started. Eleven jurors were secured during the week, and on the day the trial opened the twelfth juror was sworn in. The girl, just eighteen years old, is jointly indicted with her father, Benjawin Johnson, for the alleged murder of Detective Harry Wilson during the race riots in this city in the summer of 1919. The specific charge against the daughter is that she shot Detective Wilson as he entered their home. The prosecution will be represented by Assistant District Attorney Van Doren and Cromelin, while Attorneys Gaskins and Watson will appear for the accused. Considerable interest is manifested in the welfare of the girl, and colored citizens are awake as never before. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy, of the District Supreme Court, overruled the motion of the railroad company for a new trial in the cases in which Fred. Brooks and William Waller, two colored men, were awarded $500 damages each for being put off a car of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway Company, because of their refusal to sit in the "jim crow" section of the train.

Freeman, five years old, was injured, perhaps fatally, Tuesday afternoon, when an automobile driven by M. Brenner, a merchant, struck the boy at Monticello avenue and Scott street.

Brenner was arrested by Detectives Allen and Beasley, of the Second precinct, and charged with assault. PORTSMOUTH BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZED FOR BETTER HOMES Prominent Real Estate Men From Norfolk Addressed Meeting AIM FOR BETTER HOMES Inspiring Speeches By Local Business Men Enliven Banquet Table Most any kind of enthusiasm is catching. The much-talked-of "Own Your Home Week" in Norfolk has spread to our Twin City, Portsmouth. It is the colored business men who have been inspired by the possibilities that are inherent in the drive being pulled off here in Norfolk. Therefore, they called a big meeting Monday night and had the four prominent men of Norfolk's "Own your home campaign" to address them relative to the work and suggest what they could do there in Portsmouth to duplicate or improve upon the plan in Norfolk. The meeting was held in the hall on the corner of King and Effingham streets, where nearly every business man of our group was present. C. W. Davis, assistant cashier of the Community Bank, acted as chairman and called on Mr. C. W. Newbie to introduce the Norfolk men. The general chairman of the "own your home and thrift campaigns", C. V. W. Trice, was the first introduced. He outlined the program of the present movement in Norfolk and told the men that "you will get no more out of the campaign than you are willing to put into it." Dr. Scott Is Not A Candidate Washington, D. C. We are able to state on no less authority than that of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, himself, that the stories printed in various parts of the country to the effect that he is aware of this, or that, political office are wholly or conditioned. Dr. Scott in discussing these stories said: Accepts Bank Position Mr. Abner Lee, one of Norfolk's most popular young men, has accepted a position with Tidewater Bank and Trust Cb. Mr. Lee has been employed in the Norfolk Navy Yard for the past several years. Norfolk Mem. Ass'n Election of Officers At the annual meeting of the Norfolk Memorial Association held at the Y. M. C.

C.—The Commercial Bank of Wilson threw open its doors to the public Thursday morning, Mar. 31st, at 9 o'clock. A sturdy stream of depositors thronged its corridors all day. The bank opened with a paid in capital of $16,000.00. Total deposits for the first day's business were $14,000.00, ranging in size from $1 to $4,000, the largest amount was deposited by Mr. Knight, one of the most prosperous farmers in this section. Visitors began to arrive Wednesday and continued until late Thursday. The town had on its holiday garb and its entire population was het up to fever heat. The promoters had left no stone unturned in arousing the public's interest and the value of their work was clearly shown by the large turning out of people, practically from every city in the immediate vicinity. As the day dawned, the streets of this tobacco center were active with sleepy-eyed citizens who were on the exception committee and had to meet the early morning trains. The cock's crowing aroused countless others from their beds and started them on duties of a day that will always be remem- bored in the history of the city. The misty weather seemed at one time as if it would break in on the plans for the day and did seriously threaten the speaking program, but before it was over the sun shown forth in all its radiance from a cloudless sky. Farmers, laborers and business men alike, joined in to help make the opening a grand success. Moneys from under carpets, out of pillows, mattress, buried in the ground and from every conceivable hiding place were removed and dusted off in preparation for deposit. Time worn bank books of white banks were taken from their safe places and their columns WILSON N. C. IS PROGRESSIVE All Kinds. of Business House Are Owned and Managed By Our People (By Special Correspondent) Wilson, N. C.-That this city is one of the most progressive in the South, so far as the Negro is concerned, is plainly evident from the many progressive business firms that are doing business on its buay streets. It is the market center for one of the richest agricultural districts in the State. Cotton, tobacco, and peanuts are the principal products. During the tobacco selling season just closed, Wilson led all other cities in number of pounds sold, averaging over 63,000,000 pounds. (Continued on page 4.) New York City:—The National Associatoin for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from Governor Hugh M. Dorsey, of Georgia, relative to the disclosures regarding peonage in Jasper county, Georgia, which caused the murder of eleven colored peons. The Governor definitely promised to do all in his power to see that the perpetrators of the system are punished. Governor Dorsey's letter to the Association reads as follows: "I assure you that all true Georgians deploy the awful tragedies recently brought to light, and I am leaving no stone unturned to put the 'wheels of justice' in motion, and hope to bring about the conviction of the guilty parties. The Governor, as you know, has no jurisdiction. All he can do is to try to bolster up the officials elected by the people." Covington, Ga., April 5.—The trial of John S. Williams, accused of killing Peterson, a farm hand on his alleged peonage farm, got under way today when Judge Hutcheson ruled that the trial should proceed and that no further time should be allowed the defense. The jury was made up of seven farmers, two merchants, a clerk, a barber and a druggist. Extra deputies were on duty in the court room and only as many persons as could be admitted to the courtroom. The defense also inquired into the employment of W. M. Howard, of Augusta, to aid the prosecution, and E. Murvin Underwood, of Atlanta, to defend Clyde Manning, the boss on the farm and the principal witness of the State. The Rev. C. B. Wilmer and the Rev. M. Ashby Jones, Atlanta pastors, promised Governor Dorsey the financial backing that made it possible to employ Howard and W. Woods White, Atlanta capitalist, helped the group of citizens who employed Underwood. Graham Wright, assistant State Attorney General, was furnished by Governor Dorsey. It was inquired if the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had anything to do with the hiring of DEPOSITS OF $1 TO $4000 TAKEN IN DURING DAY totalled up in order to know how large to make a check to deposit in the new Commercial Bank of Wilson. The bank doors were opened promptly at 9 o'clock, and from then until 10 at night, there was a constant stream of depositors, including every one from small tots to the oldest citizens in the community. The first cheerful news came from President S. H. Vick, that the capital stock paid in was $16,000. Mr. Vick was one of the busiest citizens in the city during the day. From receiving congratulations, to assisting in making a $4,000 deposit, his life was just one good turn after another. Dr. Shade, proprietor of Shade Drug Store, and one of the leading business men of the city, headed the depositors list with a deposit of $1,000. He was matched by several other citizens. The festivities of the day opened with a band concert in Nash street by the famous Excelsior Reed and Brass Band of Norfolk, headed by Capt. George Elliott. The concert lasted over an hour and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The streets began to take on a circus day appearance. Hundreds of people began to arrive (Continued on page 4) Black Star Liner Collides With Pier Newport, News, Vn., April 1. —The Black Star star lain Kanaah, formerly the palutal yatch of the late H.

The agencies to be most used in providing convenient facilities for this saving enterprise will be the banks and building associations.

This committee is composed of Dr. A. J. Strong, chairman; Wm. M. Rich, secretary; Dr. D. W. Byrd, J. S. Jones, Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, Rev. D. F. White, P. B. Young, E. J. Puryear, J. T.

Speakers Bureau There is a speakers' bureau, headed by Dr. D. . W. Byrd. This bureau will furnish five-minute speakers next week for the public schools, churches, theatres, industrial plants and other places where a crowd can be reached.

CAPITAL STOCK INCREASED New Home On Church Street To Be Ready for Occupancy Soon Announcement is made by Brown Savings and Banking Company, Incorporated, that authority has been received from the State corporation commission to change its name to Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., and increase its authorized capital stock from $250,000.00 to $1,000,000.00. The change became effective about March 1st, and converts the bank into a standard trust company, with complete banking and trust departments. In the State of Virginia a trust company must have a paid in capital stock of $100,000.00. In this respect the Brown Savings Bank has been qualified for some time, it already having a paid in capital and surplus of $200,000.00. It has now obtained authority under its corporate name to increase the capital stock to $1,000,000.00. New Home Near Completion The company is now erecting a modern three-story banking house at the corner of Church and Queen Sts, which structure is nearing completion and it is expected that it will be ready for occupancy in about six days. When the Metropolitan Bank Trust Company moves into its new home it will have greatly enlarged and additional facilities for carrying on its business, and will be prepared to render a banking service equal to any. The building will also contain a number of offices on its mezzanine and 3rd floors. It is constructed of concrete, steel and granite and the banking room will have marble finishings. The building is a distinct credit to the city and to the race. The officers, of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company will remain the same as now constituted, except that the office of cashier, now held by Mr. William M. Rich, will be changed to secretary-treasurer, which dual position will be held by Mr. Rich. WAKE COUNTY SCHOOL DOING GREAT WORK JOURNAL AND GUIDE BUREAW 16 EAST HARGEET STREET BY T. L.

Delaney, supervisor of colored schools of Wake county, held a conference in the Berry O'Kelly Teacher Training School, at Methods, N. C., last Friday. This was the writer's first visit to this much-talked-of school, and I am frank to say that I was agreeably surprised at what I saw there. A three-story, ten-room brick building, equipped with all modern improvements, such as electric lights, steam heat, water and up-to-date school furniture. It may be news to many to learn that such a school building for the use of colored boys and girls exists in Method, N. C., almost a suburb of Raleigh. Prof. Bias, the principal, with eight assistants, carry on this work with precision and dispatch. It was a real treat to the visiting teachers, and they all departed in the afternoon well pleased at what they saw. Music, Domestic Science, Carpentry, Agriculture, and other useful arts are taught there, in addition to Literary subjects. The founder, Mr. Berry O'Kelley, should be congratulated for the effort he has put forth to help the younger people of his race along educational, domestic, mechanical and agricultural lines. Miss T. L. Faulk, a very accomplished teacher in this school, is back at her post after a short visit to her sister, Mrs. B. M. Webb of Norfolk, Va, who is convalescing from a slight illness. Mrs. C. D.

C., spent Sunday afternoon in Truxtun. Easter Monday brought crowds of people to Truxtun from the early morn until night fall. Egg hunts were given all over the village, and the children really enjoyed themselves. The playgrounds were crowded all day. The fair grounds drew an immense crowd. There were two fine games of baseball, and then the races. The park was crowded from the time the gates opened. The Mt. Hermon band furnished music for the day. The Patron's League held their regular meeting in the Truxtun Auditorium, March 26th. Quite a large number of patrons were out. The discussions were full of interest, especially the talk by the Town Manager, who granted the league the privilege of opening the library to the public, and now the citizens of Truxtun will have the privilege of a real treat, for already there are about 300 books and more promised. It is earnestly hoped that the town people will take advantage of this opportunity. Every person is welcome. No charges whatever. Come out and enjoy yourselves. Delightful refreshments were served by the teachers at the close of the meeting. Th mock marriage given by the students of the seventh and eighth grades of the F. D. McCracken school at St. Julians Creek was a splendid success. Both services of the A. M. E. Mission were well attended Sunday. The Sunday school has grown and is still growing numerically, as well as spiritually. Rev. Fletcher preached an excellent sermon at 7:30 p. m. On last Wednesday night, Rev. L. L. Berry, presiding elder of the Portsmouth District, preached a strong sermon to a full house. Mr. I. C. Johnson, president of the Fair Association, was in Truxtun Sunday on business.

Coates, a prominent white citizen of Norfolk, and a member of the Kiwar's Club, has brought to the attention of the city authorities the need of making some provision for playground facilities for $c_{or}$ colored children in the city park. The club, which is composed of leading business men, went on record as unanimously endorsing Mr. Coates' request. In his statement Mr. Coates is quoted as having said that on a recent visit to the city park he had seen "little colored children gazing with longing eyes and anxious hearts upon the scenes of gaiety participated in by white children, but that no provision for Negroes appeared in sight." Such an appeal touched Mr. Coates' humane heart and aroused his Christian sympathies with the results stated. Now and then God moves a Christian white man or woman in the South to appeal for simple justice for the Negro. Often these appeals have a salutary effect upon the consciences of the white people as a whole. The needs of colored people in Norfolk for recreation facilities are distressing. Especially so are the needs of the little children, whose opportunities for fresh air recreation are so limited. It is hoped that the splendid move made by Mr. Coates and supported in such a spirit of fairness by the Kiwanis Club will result in early action by the city government. JAMES CARDINAL GIBBONS A great man has fallen in the Na-tion; a great Prince has fallen in the Catholic Church. It is a very long way from the position of grocery clerk in New Orleans to the rank of Cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church; the most unified and the strongest church organization in Christendom. Cardinal Gibbons traversed the distance in the orderly advancement of a superman born to master the intricacies and difficulties of the journey and to attain and enjoy at last the title of Prince of the Roman Catholic Church. It is a position any Irish boy, or the boy of any other Nationality, is supposed to be eligible to attain to, as there is not supposed to be any color line in the Roman Catholic Church; certainly there was none in the policy of Cardinal Gibbons; all Catholics looked alike to him, and he treated them all alike, as far as the limitations and prejudices of time and place would allow. This was one of the outstanding characteristics of Cardinal Gibbons which endeared him to all Catholics. Cardinal Gibbons was in his eighty-seventh year when he died. He was regarded as a very great Prince of the Church; he was regarded as one of the greatest and most useful of American citizens. Surely that was eminence, indeed, for the man of Irish parentage who started at the very bottom of the ladder of life. It is sure by example to be an inspiration and a hope for every American who looks always to the attainment of the highest possible position in life so that he may accomplish the greatest possible service. What was possible to him in the church was possible to our Daniel Alexander Payne and J. W. Hood, who attained to the highest positions in their Churches by preparedness, service, loyalty and moral purity. These virtues won for them as they won for Cardinal Gibbons, and they will always win for those who possess them. --- We may truthfully say of James Cardinal Gibbons that a great man has fallen in the Nation; a great Prince has fallen in the Roman Catholic Church. HAVE A GARDEN FRONT AND BACK OF THE HOME This is the time of year when farmers are getting busy, preparing for the crops of the year. The big farmers have a big job on their hands all of the time, because that is their business, and a person's job, however little it may be in the estimation of others, is always a big job for him. When he considers it in that way he usually makes a success of it. And the man who makes a success of his little job gets as much pleasure and satisfaction out of it as the person who makes a success of his big job. The main thing is, not the size and importance of the job, but the estimation and interest the person takes in his job. That is because Nature has wisely fitted us all to the size of the job we are cut out to succeed with. And he is a failure in the beginning who does not have confidence that he will succeed in the end with any job he has as his allotment. Country folks are not the only ones who have gardens; city folks also have gardens. They are always on a small scale, but they afford a great deal of pleasure, recreation, and measurable profit; if they do not they should. And the city farmer who has the space for it should not only have a good vegetable, garden in the back of the home, but a garden in the front of it. The man of the home is expected to look after the vegetable garden in the back, and the woman the flower garden in the front of the home. Every woman should love flowers and know how to cultivate them. They do not furnish any money profit, of course, but they furnish a world of pleasure and satisfaction in the cultivation and observation of them, and they gratify the esthetic temperament not only of the owner, but of neighbors and strangers under whose observation they come. A flower garden also bespeaks a refinement in the mistress of the home as no other exterior appurtenance of the home can. The value of the vegetable garden is a matter of course. No vegetables a person buys can seem as good as those raised in his own garden. It pays in the long run to have a good garden in the front and the rear of the home. PEONAGE OUTRAGES WITH There is always something doing in Georgia which does not exalt the State in the estimation of decent mankind. This has been true as long as we can remember. We hope it may not be that way always. The worst reprobate is supposed to reach, sometime, the end of his rope and be constrained to give an account of his works. And in matters that concern the relations of the races Georgia has ever since the Civil War, occupied a front place among offending States. The distinction is not one to be proud of, but Georgians do not appear to regard it that way. Just now Georgia occupies the front of the stage of scandal in the matter of the maintenance of a peonage farm and the murder of eleven Negro farm hands by a big phanter of the name of John S. Williams. Several bodies of Negroes were found anchored in the Yellow and the Oculglee rivers. The investigation into the mystery of their deaths led to the arrest of Clyde Manning, a foreman and confidante of Williams, himself a Negro. He testified that a regular system of peonage was maintained on the big plantation owned by Williams; that the farmhands, held to involuntary servitude, were herded at night and barred in just as convicts are, and worked the limit during the day. He also testified that, since last February, eleven Negroes had been murdered and disposed of at the instance of Williams, because he considered them to be unreliable characters who might testify against him and his sons, should their peonage practices be probed by the legal authorities. State and Federal agents were put to work and the eleven Negroes were discovered and accounted for, just as Clyde Manning had indicated. Williams and Manning are in the Fulton county jail at Atlanta and warrants are out for his three sons. Their cases will soon come before the State and Federal courts, and the guilty ones may possibly be convicted and punished. Statq and Federal authorities are working in concert to vindicate the majesty of the law. That is as it should be. WHO OWNS THE TIDEWATER COLORED HOSPITAL The Tidewater Colored Hospital is owned and operated by a self-perpetuating board of trustees who hold the property in trust for the benefit of the general public and operate it for the welfare of all those who come to the hospital for medical and surgical treatment. The board of trustees handles all the financial and administrative affairs of the hospital and appoints the surgeon-in-chief of the hospital and superintendent. The board of trustees appoints a committee of three of the board of trustees a house committee and a committee supervises all the details of the administration of the hospital. The hospital has been and is now operated under a most conservative policy and the standard of service required of all physicians and nurses is formed in the best hospitals of the country. The success of the hospital during the past six years is the only cause for the necessity of building the hospital to be able to accommodate more patients. Were the hospital owned privately there would be absolutely no need of appealing to the public for funds. It would be made a public support. But a public support it could not possibly do the public service it has been doing and is now doing. During this past year the surgeon-in-chief performed more than 1000 procedures and charge, to say nothing of the large number of medical cases attended free by other physicians of he city. In a private hospital only patients able to undergo surgery would be charged, social fees would have been admitted. The existence of the Tidewater Colored Hospital does not preclude the opportunity of those who are interested in the hospital as our people need and would be a great credit to the people of Norfolk. Such an institution is greatly needed and there are a plenty of people and doctors to build and support could in no way be questioned. It is the writer's hope and only hope, in so far as a hospital is conquered, that the patient will be Norfolk provided with decent and adequate hospital facilities. But he also believes that the people are becoming more fully alive to the hospital situation, and that the hospital is made for funds with to enlarge the Tidewater Hospital will receive a most generous response. Already, in the past, Norfolk has responded generously to the appeal. Work on the new building is ex- pressional. The hospital will be pushed to completion. When finished the Tidewater Hospital will be the most complete hospitals in the Spotsylvania. Very rtruly, WILBUR A. DRAKE. USEFUL AS AN ISSUE The Norfolk Journal and Guide ventures the opinion that "as a voter, the Afro-American in politics in Virginia is not a quantity to be counted serious, an issue however, his utility increases in another issue." This conclusion is based on a reported speech by the Democratic County Chairman on "the growing menace of the Afro-American vote to the white of the South. The Journal and Guide of the misstatements attributed to this county chairman, by saying: It might be interesting to him if he knew that an Afro-American ran for the office of United States Senator instead of that of governmental office, and came within 200,000 votes of the vote, that only one Afro-American was elected to the Ohio legislature. The colored candidate for governor in the last general election mayor in Kansas much further south than that he had gotten 250,000 more votes than he did receive he would have been elected. If Mr. Hutchins did not tell his audience about the Office of United States Attorney in Virginia in the last general election he missed a great opportunity, and one that occupied much of his speaking this last fall. The candidate came within about 156,000 votes of being counted in. The attention of this pessimistic county chairman should also have been directed to the recent bond elections, where the Negro voters were made the issue safe for public improvement. This talk about the Negro vote being a mute to public civilization is merely to manufacture the basest sort of political issue, the appeal to race intolerance. The sort of white civilization we do not survive the test of the Negro must be a pretty low down sort of civilization. The position taken by this county chairman is self-incriminating and degrading to the voters. The pretense to represent. The Negro south of South if properly appealed to and fairly treated, can be made the prop and support of good government.—New York Age. BUSINESS BREVITIES By J. A. G. LUVALLE BUSINESS BRIEF'S Of all the failures recorded in 1920, 84 per cent were of firms which did not advertise, but listed in this number of non-advertisers? To feed the 7,000,000 residents of New York City for one week only, requires 266 trains load of provisions. You thought of how many it takes for New York and just what percentage of that amount you are selling, Mr. Groceryman? There are some 146,000,000 persons in the world with savings accounts in the representing deposits of $23,000,000,000. After holds more than one-fourth of the world's savings, with a total of over $6,500,000,000. Are you numbered with this great number? The people of the United States used 1,438,971,000 pounds of tobacco last year. This made 7,629,000 cigars, 55,000,000 cigarettes and 427,000,000 pounds of chewing and smoking to the extent of third of the world. The consumption of tobacco is increasing since prohibition went into effect. America is now the richest nation and the maniac centre of the world. She possesses the wealth of the world. Before the war, American owed about $4,000,000,000 abroad. Today the net indebtedness of Europe to America is over $10,-000,000. It is possible that the American Navy be living in a country in much worse condition than the old U. S. A. If you are doing things which in some way would race, contribute to its highest welfare, career is in tune with the Infinite plan. You are co-operating with the Creator in the team work of the race. You are a success. But if you are doing something counter to God's world plan, to this operative team work of the race, you are a failure, and you cannot really be happy. UNION PROGRESSIVE SHOE CO. About two years ago, while working in the Navy Yard, a number of men fell into discussion just what they would do when the war, should set in and they would return to civil employment. Some one suggested forming a shoe company and opening a shoe store in Norfolk. This seemed to have been a favorable thought, and by discussing the possibility of such a venture, it was finally decided. The formation and incorporation of The Union Progressive Shoe Company, for $25,000 capital was the result. The company purchased a building in the ten hundred block on the street, and after remodeling it, opened their first store in March 1920. This store has been running for a little more than a year, and their windows present some of the latest trends. This company opened at the time when shoes were at their peak of high prices and the fact that they been able to continue through this season, they kept their head above water, speaks volumes for their business acumen. The Union Progressive Shoe Store can be pointed to with pride and the business integrity and progressiveness. The officers of this company are: W. L. Hughes, president; J. L. Smith secretary-and manager of the store; J. L. Lamb, treasurer. JAS MORRIS AND SON This is one of the oldest firms in business in this city among our people. Everyone who eats ice cream, and that they nearly everybody, have had it. The nearly everybody for he not only sells ice cream, but he makes it. However, this article is about another phase of this company — expansion. Attucks Theatre was opened, the Twin City Confectionery Company was formed among some of the stockholders of the Twin City Amusement Company, to operate this business and opened in one of the street buildings. The returns did not come up to expectations, and it was decided to sell the business. Mr. James T. M. Mong being associated with his father's street, recognized this an opportunity to extend his business and therefore purchased the Attucka confectionery and since the 12th of March his business the place under the new management. The operation of this store carries with it the selling privilege in the Attucks Theatre, which Mr. Morris has assumed also. With the service in the theatre, he has six persons eminent to see that his patrons get the service. He reports the volume of business already above expectations and feels confident the will mark of this store a more popular place than the one on Queen street. WILSON, N. C. (Continued from page 1) The population of 16,000 is almost evenly divided between the whites and colored. The two races get along well together for this section of the country. Many of the colored citizens have accumulated nice fortunes, and are very comfortably situated. Modern Hospital Dr. S. H. Hargrave has one of the most modern hospitals owned by the race in any section. It is a large office to brick building, two stories high and every detail. The first floor is occupied by quarters; on the second floor are beated the wards and private rooms, as well as the operating room. The third floor patronized and is opened to white doctors as well as C. H. Hargrave. The business establishment of C. H. Darden & Sons has a record of doing business for 40 years in one place. This firm is one of the most prosperous in the country. Their large threestory building, designed understaking and embunging department, is one of the leading in the State, auto and bicycle accessories, talking machines, blacksmithing department and machine shop. Mr. C. H. Darden, son of Mr. C. H., is the hustling, manager and is proving an able successor to his father. Other Business Houses Mr. C. S. Thomas is the proprietor of one of the finest barber shops in the State. He is modern in every respect, having six bars with individual hot and cold water stands for each barber. The floor is of white tile. Gordon runs an up-to-date hair care company up in Gordon is one of the leaders in the country and sells his goods all over the country. Dr. Stakes Pharmacy supplies all the wants in his line. His store is in a town that does a good business. There is also an adult-class drug store to serve the people. There are falo tailor shops, shop shops, cleaning and pressing shops, garages, and grocery stores all owned and operated by colored. Many fine and palatial homes are owned by our people, and nine-tenths of the property in the colored section as well as business, is in the hands of colored Beautiful churches abound as well as two fine schools. The citizens are wide awake and taking advantage of every opportunity. $50,000 Hospital Little Rock, Ark., April 1 — The $50,000 hospital of the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends, a local Negro secret society, was dedicated on the 7th of December. Charity wards and a nurse's training school are part of the institution's component. The Royal Circle contemplates the building of a hospital in the city of Memphis, Tenn., that will cost about $47,000. =15,000 IN DEPOSITS (Continued from page 1) from the nearby country in their "super-sixes" and other high- priced cars. All roads led straight to the receiving window of the Commercial Bank. Some of the town's belles were engaged in pinning nice red, blue and white badges on the depositories. Soon, the streets were professedly decorated with these colors. At noon, the band marched to the city schools to escort the children down to the opening exercises. Speaking services were held in the school's auditorium. The following men spoke: Mr. Wm. O. Walker, city edi- tor of the NORPOLK JOURNAL & GUIDE; Dr. E. L. Hoffer, president of the Albermale Bank of Elizabeth City, N. C.; Mr. Moore, a local business man, and Dr. Hargraves, a local physiician and one of the chief organizers of the bank; Prof. Hays, the principal, also made a few short markings. Also her delegation went to the Wiltshire Norfolk and industrial School and spoke there. Prof. Rowe, among the speakers were Prof. S. D. Rane, of Edenton, N. C., and Mr. J. S. Jones, secretary of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Co. Norfolk. At 1:30 p. m., the general speaking program began in front of the bank. Dr. S. F. Hargraves, the 1st vice president of the bank, acted as master of ceremonies. He made a brief talk and then presented Dr. Hoffler, of Elizabeth City, N.C. Mr. Conner, of Richmond, Va., followed Dr. Hoffler. Mr. Alfred Robinson, a retired mall clerk, formerly of Norfolk, introduced Mr. J. S. Jones, of Norfolk, who made the principal address. In his strictly "J. S. style" he stirred the vast crowd that stretched out in every direction around the stand. Dr. Hargraves announced that the colored people of Wilson county were worth on the sheriff's books $5,000,000.00, and that the directors of the bank were worth over $1,000,000.00. He said that the people should rest assured that their money: was well secured. So great was the demand to make deposits, that the officials had to keep the bank open until after nine o'clock receiving deposits. Fully over 1,500 people inspected the building during the day. The bank building is located on the main thoroughfare, right in the heart of the colored business section on Nash street. It is a modern building in every respect. The interior is as beautiful as any bank in this section. The fixtures are of marble. Everything from the modern Bourroughs bookkeeping machine down to the pens on the desks were modern and in their places. There is a special room for ladies and one for farmers. Much credit for the completeness, both in fixtures and policy, is largely due to the uniring efforts of Mr. D. F. Parham, of the Fraternal Bank and Trust Co., of Durham, N. C. Mr. Parham has been assisting in shaping the policy and getting things in shape for the opening since last October. He was also busy in one of the cages receiving deposits during the opening day. He was ably assisted by Mr. W. H. Holland, of the Albermile Bank of Elizabeth City, N. C., and Mr. Malcolm L. Holmes, of the Mutual Savings Bank of Portsmouth, Va. The officers of the bank are: Mr. S. H. Vick, president; Dr. F. S. Hargraves, 1st vice-president; Mr. J. D. Reed, 2nd vice-president; Mr. D. H. Kinnant, 3rd vice-president; Mr. J. G. Mitchell, 4th vice-president. The bank is capitalized at $30,000.00. Among the prominent out-of-town visitors were the following: Mr. R. A. World, Black Creek, N. C; Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Brown, of Raleigh, N. C.; Dr. E. L. Hoffer, Elizabeth City, N. C.; Prof. S. D. McRae, Edenton, N. C.; Mr. Gomez, Durham, N. C.; Prof. Pierson, Durham, N. C.; Mr. J. S.

At 2:00 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. Cornelius Moore, preached a powerful sermon. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Goodwin was baptized. Holy communion was administered to a large number. Dr. L. L. Berry presented to Mrs. Emilia J. Hayes her evangelistic license on Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday the Mission Sunday school was well attended and a very interesting program was rendered for the occasion by little Miss Bequina Godwin won many awards and most interesting features was an egg hunt on Monday under the management of Mrs. Edith A.

Gray, the gallant leader, is right there with the goods all the time. Gray and Lockett in their sketch, "Where the Trail Ends," is a farce. Miss Virginia Listen knocked 'em cold with her latest number, "Jealous Hearted Blues," and other numbers. Messrs Gray, Giles, Davis, and Clarke in quartet numbers went big. "The Mexican Blues" was another hit, Miss Henrietta Leggett in her number went big. The show as a whole is one of the best seen here. The one outstanding feature of the show is the singing of Miss Annie Belle. Cooke, heralded as the woman with a double voice. Her voice is so wonderful it is almost a freak. It is difficult to say just what she does sing; in fact its anything from soprano to basso. She has the voice of voices and the audience never tires of her singing. Another feature show will be here next week direct from the Regent in Baltimore. ST. PAUL DEFEATS SMALLWOOD-CAREY Lawrenceville, Va.—In its opening game of the 1921 basketball season, before a record-breaking crowd of six hundred and above, St. Paul Normal and Industrial School today defeated Smilwood-Corey Industrial and Collegiate Institute by a score of 17 to 0. This was St. Paul's initial game with Smilwood-Corey. Both St. Paul's field and outfield were superior to the visiting teams in every respect. The visitors apparently exerted all the dexterity, energy and baseball science that they possessed to prevent defeat, and fought sensitiously to impede St. Paul's staging and expedite their own, but were absolutely unable to stem the tide of St. Paul's spectacular defensive and offensive playing. St. Paul's batting and folding were superb. The inferiority of the visitor caused the game to be one sided and uninteresting at certain periods. However, the batteries of Smilwood-Corey deserve special credit. Umpire: Williams, Union. HOWARD UNIV. AGAIN SMEARS IT ON OLD TIME RIVAL - LINCOLN Orange, N. J.—Before a crowd of nearly two thousand basketball enthusiasts from New York, Newark, Montclair, and Orange, gathered in the Orange, N. J., Armory, the Howard "Five" again hauled it over the Lincoln University team by a score of 21 to 18. A marked feature of the game was the indomitable fighting spirit on the part of both teams. The end of the first half the score was 10 to 7 in favor of the Howard team. The Lincoln team was determined to make a good showing and near the end of the last half she succeeded in bringing the score to a tie of 15. This was the status of the score when only three more minutes of play were left. The Howard team cheered on by local Howard rooters surped forward in those last three minutes and won the game by the score of 21 to 18. The strong offensive an dream work of Sims for Howard was a feature of the game, while Ken, Richrdson, and H. Johnson, forward, made effective use of every opportunity to register. Clarkson and Davis warded off the attempts of Lincoln to Howard's basket. The strong offensive work and ceasute shooting of fool by Wheland, forward for Lincoln, made him a star of the Lincoln team.

Roanoke, Va.—The Harrison High School basketball quint, although champions of the high schools of Virginia, went down to defeat at the hands of the Settlers Athletic Club, of Washington, D. C., at the City Auditorium here by the score of 18 to 11 Both teams played remarkably well and showed excellent training in the art of the cage game. The first half was classily contested and both teams kept so well covered that only three field goals were made in the initial half. The score ended 4 to 2 in favor of the visitors before the rest period. In the second half the Washingtonians got foot-loose and caged six goals to their opponents four. The locals fell off in guarding and the visitors filled in the breach with quick, snappy team work that netted the necessary. For the locals, Burrell and Brown gave a clever exhibition of floor work while Anderson passed with superior dexterity. For the visitors Timmons was the individual star and excelled at center with the jump off and was responsible for five of the eight field goals made by his team.

It is regrettable that an audience of less than 200, in this large magnificent playhouse, witnessed a performance of a play that is playing to capacity audiences in New York City after nearly a year's run. George Williams, a student, was in the stellar role, and is much to be complimented for his acting, which reflected a wealth of credit-upon the university instructors and as much for his own talents. ```markdown ``` Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, the well-known writers and entertainers, scored a decided hit at the Howard Theatre, where a musical riot by the "pair" was played before capacity audiences. They hold the boards for next week, and those who missed "Shuffle Along" will have a chance to see and hear.
