LYNCHING CONDEMNED IN PRESIDENT HARDING'S MESSAGE FIRST IN LIVE NEWS ALL THE TIME Norfolk Journal and Guide PROGRESSIVE IN EVERY RESPECT WILLIAMS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER SPECTATORS BADLY BEAT UP MAN AFTER HE IS ACQUITTED VOL. XXI. NO. 17. PEONAGEFARM OWNER GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE PEONAGEFARM OWNER GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE Williams and His Three Sons Also Indicted by Jasper County Jury MANNING ACCOMPLICE Trials on Other Counts To Be Started Some.Time In May Monticello, Ga.—Grand jury investigation here into the deaths of farm hands alleged to have been held in promenage on the farm of John S. Williams resulted in indictments being returned against. Williams, three of his sons and Clyde Manning, farm boss, charging a total of eleven murders in Jasper County, in addition to the three in Newton County. The lynching several months ago of Eugene Hamilton, a colored preacher, was acquired into the grand jury, but it was decided there was not sufficient evidence to warrant true bills against any persons. The true bills returned were as follows: Joint indictment charging John S. Williams and Manning with murders of eight farm hands. Indictment charging Huland Williams with murder of a hand known as "Black Scrap" in the fall of 1920. Joint indictment charging Levy and Marvin Williams with the murder of a hand known as "Iron Law" in the summer of 1920. Juddman charging Marvin Williams with the murder of John Singleton in April, 1918. Prayer that "Justice shall be wrought" and for supreme guidance, was offered before Judge Park delivered his charge. Covington, Ga.—John S. Williams, owner of the peonage farm in Jasper county, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury, last Saturday. Judge John B. Hutcheson, sentenced him to life imprisonment. The verdict is the first of its kind ever to be returned in this section against a white man and the sentence carried with it, clearly took Williams off his feet as well as his friends, who have always, practically made their own laws when a Negro was involved. The jury was composed of mostly young men and farmers, and they required 18 hours in which to reach their decision of guilty. The trial listed for a week and forced the interest of the whole country on it. The court hung was jammed with spectators during the whole trial. Perfect order was kept and no heated scenes developed between the attorneys. Clyde Manning and his wife, Mrs. Kenna Manning, were the State's principal witnesses. Repeated efforts of the defense attorneys to break down the testimony failed completely. The defense forced force from them a statement to the effect that they had been told what to say before coming to court, but this failed. Williams' attorneys immediately filed petitions for a new trial, while he and Manning were carried back to Atlanta for safe keeping. Manning'sitions had been decided upon, but it is likely that it will come up the last of the month. Frederick Md., April 12—Charles Henry Dorsey, was badly beaten in Judge Urner's court here after he had been acquitted of the charge of attack on a young white woman of Baltimore County. Spectators pounced upon Dorsey beating him with their fists, water glasses and ink worms were thrown across the room, and the uproar did not subside until one of the judges rescued him and carried him into an ante room. He previously had been convicted and sentenced to hung, but a new trial was ordered and he was acquitted. Immediately after the court had finished announcing the reason for acquittal, a man leaped at Dorsey and he was followed by others who rushed him as he started a flight from the room. A spectator jumped on the trial table and struck him in the face PRESIDENT HARDING DE- NOUNCES LYNCHING THROUGHOUT AMERICA Washington, D. C., Apr. 12— President Harding mined no words in putting the problems of lynching and segregation before Congress in his message last Tuesday. His message holds much hope for the race. He said in part: "Somewhat related to the foregoing human problems is the race question. Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly, representative democracy. We face the fact that many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our population and that, in a number of States, they constitute a very large proportion of the total population. It is unnecessary to recount the difficulties incident to this condition, nor to emphasize the fact that it is a condition which can not be removed. There has been suggestion, however, that some of its difficulties might be ameliorated by a humane and enlightened consideration of it, a study of its many aspects, and an effort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life. One proposal is the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races, to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am convinced that in mutual tolerance, understanding, character, recognition of the interdependence of the races, and the maintenance of the rights of citizenship lies the road to righteous adjustment."

BOX 1606 Washington, D. C.-The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came out in a strong letter to the President, asking that he pay no attention to the petition being circulated by a number of white women employees of the Treasury Department that the office of Register of the Treasury be not given to a colored man. The Association prayed that the President fulfil his promises of last summer that he would give recognition to the colored voters throughout the country, and it has been pointed out that if the President be governed by the petition of these narrow minded citizens a precedent will have been established and wherever it becomes known that a colored man is to be appointed a like petition will be circulated. Letters from prominent colored persons and from organizations have also been sent to Honorable Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary, the Treasury. It is believed here that during the most two weeks the office of Register and that of Fourth Auditor will be filled by colored men. James Weldon Johnson, national secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addressed a mass meeting held by the local branch of the Association in the interest of its drive for membership. Mr. Johnson took as the subject of his address "Power" and showed the necessity for such an organization and told his hearers what a tremendous force the Negro is when he shall have organized in a national way. A musical program was rendered by the Amphion Glee Club under the leadership of J. Henry Lewis, while Lewis Jones of Boston, Mass., rendered a violin solo. (Continued on page four) Major Jas. H.

Following up Sunday's work speakers will visit all the schools, industrial plants, theatres and other places where an audience can be found every day during the week, for the purpose of preaching the doctrine of thrift and good citizenship. The program is part of the program outlined by the colored Chamber of Commerce which is working in collaboration with Community Service and citizens in improving local conditions. After the "Own Your Home" drive is well under way a campaign will be launched for the improvement of health conditions in the city. The campaign realizes that it is possible to increase activity in home buying immediately. The idea is to start people to think seriously about the desirability of owning a home, and of beginning preparations for it by beginning a savings account in either a building and loan association or a bank. The great majority of homes now owned have been acquired through the frugality and thrift of the owners, the initial PRICE FIVE CENTS RDER S AWAY PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY Was One of the State's Most Prominent and Esteemed Citizens LOVED BY ALL Connected With Many Business Institutions Throughout the State By S. B. Noble One of the greatest figures of our day has vanquished, the head of the Southern Aid Society has gone out into the shadows but the living flame of the great soul of A. D. A. Price shall not be quenched while the people he loved so well dwell upon the earth. This great mind inspired the Southern Aid Society in thought and action to higher and greater things. That voice lifted throughout his lifetime in the call to racial consciousness is lost in the vastistant places to which he has gone. But the great lesson taught by his life will live so long as the things for which he stood shall live. This great figure leaves the Southern Aid Society in the hands of such competent men as B. L. Jordan, W. A. Jordan, Jas. T. Carter, B. A. Caphe, Edward Stewart, Andrew Washington and many others. To B. L. Jordan has fallen in great responsibility but this tireless worker and wonderful leader will unquestionably prove equal to the occasion. A. D. Price had achieved in a large measure the things which make life glorious to any man. He had seen and had a share in the building of a great insurance company. He had learned and had wonderful business for himself. He had served his race served it well in many large financial institutions of our state. He had learned to love the common touch and had never risen above it. To A. D. Price has been given the great gift of vision and the genius of leadership. He used them to the last minute to overcome lasting good of his race and his friends believed intensely in the possibilities of his people and fought incessantly for the right to live, the right to love, the right to aspire, the right to work out our destiny side by side with the other races of the world. He had lost the great soul he has taken in his death. A. D. PRICE IS DEAD. A. D. PRICE LIVES IN THE HEARTS OF THE MULTITUDE. George Moton, P. E. R., *Esteemed Loyal Knight*, V. C.

BAILEY, Prog. 411 B. Dutte Street NORFOLK, VA (© 1821, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) Oliver Bryne ran his car down to the turn in the woodland road. Then his horn barked a greeting to the blue clad figure hurrying toward the car. The woman waved her hand in response. "Come, help me over the fence," she called. With a consolent quickening of pulses the man lifted her over. She lagged up into his face. "Did I keep you waiting? I tried to be on time. "I was afraid—" "For me—or of me?" With the question her laughter rang out. Her eyes challenged him. "The Queen rides out today," he quoted softly as he helped her into the car. "Where?" as she snuggled down beside him. He named an inn some miles away. "But why so there?" "You wouldn't like it?" He leaned to her. "Not for a single minute, but—" "We won't go, then." "Well, where?" She told him and he stared at her, wondering. "You told me you never wanted to see that place again—that you wanted to forget—" "That was more than a month ago." "You mean that now you don't—?" "What would you forget if you could?" "First of all that my wife has decided to divorce me." "You're sorry?" "As the devil!" explosively, "And for all the sins of omission and commission that made her think she would be happier without me." And I now she could not look at him, though she tried, "You say these things—and to me!" she mingued in smothered tones. "To you first of all! Allie—" He leamed to her again, his breath hot on her cheek. "There's the place!" she eried, conscious even as she spoke that it was a mistake. Then, in a rush of swift confusion: "Perhaps you can't help being yourself, but, I should think you'd get tired of your own wilfulness at times." "Do I need to confess it?" She glanced at him with slant eyes. "I got tired long before you showed me—" "That your wife was tired of finding you always cross and impatient. You can be awfully crushed!" she interposed. "I haven't a doubt of it!" The new air of humility sat well upon him. "But it's the nature of a crab to present a hard outside—they get softer and sweeter the deeper you go." She sniffed through humbund eyes. "It's because I've begun to realize that—that I am running away with you like this." "Are we running away—?" "Don't you know—?" "There!" He slowed for the stop as he leaned forward, seeking out with eager glance the little rustic house among the trees. "It looks just as it did that first time we came here. But you've taken the umbrella down." "Why not? Honeymoon Camp doesn't seem fitting—now." "But it looks as if it might be related to a honeymoon even now." "Open the door, please. I'm going in." "Don't you realize that you can't—you cannot not?" "Are you going to prevent it?" "All right, but I warned you," said Bryne. "We'll have lunch," she said, tugging at the side hampers. "Take them in, please." "We'd better start back as soon as possible," he said, as they pushed back their chairs. She looked up quickly. "I'm not going back." "But you can't stay here—alone?" "I planned on having you for company." He checked the impulse to draw her into his arms. "If that's all—we must get back before dark." "You—you—want to go?" "Only for your sake," as quietly as his bounding pulses would allow. "I'll wait outside if you'll hurry." She let him go. Then, picking up a magazine—relic of their former visit—she sat down at the window, pretending to read. Presently, she looked up, smiling, as she met the accusing look in his eyes. He did not suspect that she had let him stand in the doorway, while she appeared to be absorbed in the story. "The gasoline—it's all run out!" His tone accused as well as his eyes. "You—" "And, if I did?" she asked, shamelessly. "But, why—?" Almost, he knew what her answer would be. But he listened eagerly, breathlessly, thirsting for her broken utterance as the desert thirsts for rain. "Because I—I—wanted to end our misunderstandings." "Then you really don't want to divorce me?" But he did not need to ask. Her eyes were saying wonderful things. "I'm the happiest—!" "No, I am!" she corrected. And this time he did not resist the impulse that moved him. His arms reached for her—held her close. PHCEBUS, VA.

The house was called to order by President Hobbs, and the following elaborate program was rendered: The U. N. I. A. ode, "From Greenland Icy Mountains," was sung. Prayer, "God of the Right," uttered by the president, followed by an inspiring prayer by the chaplain, Rev. M. L. Walker. Selection by the Black Star Line band, "My Faith Looks Up To Thee." The chaplain read the third chapter of Joel for the Scripture lesson. Singing by the Universal Negro Improvement Association choir. The president in a brief address outlined the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Selection by the Black Star Line band, "Safe in The Arms of Jesus," Singing by the choir and congregation—"When I See The Blood." Sermon by Rev. Ferguson. Text was taken from the sixth chapter of Exodus, subject, "Keeping the Covenant." Rev. Ferguson spared no pains in treating the subject, and he held the enthusiastic audience in the palms of his hand and the people of that section were highly elated and much pleased with the documents and the teachings that he gave concerning the Universal Negro Improvement Association; he portrayed the fact that as the covenant was given to Moses as the leader of the Children of Israel, so God had given or renewed the covenant with Marcus Garvey as a leader of the Negro race. He also stated that it was useless for men to stretch out their puny arms against the movement, because God was at the helm. Prayer, by Rev. E. Devaughn. Mr. Benjamin Braxton, executive secretary, spoke and explained to the people the plans of the organization. Four members enrolled. Collection. Benediction. At 3:30, the evening session convened.

Funeral Wednesday Last Sunday evening the Death Angel came and carried away Dr. Josie E. Wells, who for more than a month had been an intense sufferer at Hubbard Hospital. While she had been ill and suffered intensely relatives and friends held out hope and thought that the operation through which she went would be the result of her restoration to health, but He who knoweth best ordained otherwise and on Sunday afternoon, surrounded by loved ones and friends, she passed peacefully away. Dr. Wells was a member of Clark Memorial church, where for years she served faithfully. For more than twenty years she has been prominently connected with Meharry and Hubbard Hospital. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from Meharry Auditorium. Dr. Mullowney was in charge of the services, which were simple, but very impressi e. Rev. S. L. McDowell, pastor of First Baptist church, Eighth avenue, North, offered prayer. Scripture was read by Rev. J. H. Ellis, pastor of Clark Memorial church. The funeral oration was delivered by Rev. Wills, P. E., former pastor of Clark Memorial. Music for the occasion was furnished by a quartet from Fisk University, a quartet from State Normal and a solo by Mr. Hudson, of Meharry. A large concourse of students and friends thronged the auditorium to pay the last tribute of respect to one who had given her life for the training of the young people. The floral offerings were among the most beautiful and costly that have been seen in the city. Dr. Wells is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J. T. Givens, of Norfolk, Va.—Nashville Globe.

MEN MEASURES MEN MEASURES The Supreme Need of Mankind Today (Columbu; Maxwell) Have you ever thought what each unit (and you are one of them) of the human family needs most and desires above all today? Did I understand you to say Money? Education? Social Distinction? High Political Office? Let me understand you; did you say, Did you say that either, or all of these are the supreme needs of mankind today? If you answer, designating either of these as the supreme need of mankind today, or if you link them, answering, all of them taken together are the supreme need of mankind today. I answer, you are deceived, you do not know the Supreme Need of Mankind Today, nor have you the remotest idea of its desires. Let me undeceive you. The supreme need of mankind today is "Fellowship," (Joint Interest), "The spirit and disposition befitting comrades." It is not the fellowship of personal intimacy which comes from being borned and reared in the same home, nor from being trained in the same schools; nor from being initiated in the same lodge; nor from baptism in the same church; nor from being progenies of the same race, nor from being in the same country. I repeat: I speak not of these types of fellowships at the present, but instead, I speak of the "Fellowship" which exists as an indistrucable result of being borned "fellows" on the same earth, and all children of the same Cosmos. I speak of the fellowship which knows neither the Greek nor the Barbarian, the Caucasian nor the Ethiopian, the philosopher nor the idiot, the lady nor the harlot. I repeat, I speak of that fellowship which only knows man as man. I speak of the fellowship which speaks the shortest language in the world and uses the same words each time it speaks Its language is: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all of thy mind, all of thy soul, with all of thy strength, and thy neighbor (mankind) as thyself."

Well, then, come with me, of an evening that I have in mind, to a grand concert ball in the city. A wonderful prima donna, the idol of her audiences in two continents, has come upon the stage for her last number. As she stands waiting for the applause to die away, something that she reads in the waves of upturned faces moves her to a sudden impulse, and with a tender little smile, instead of the classical selection on the program, her voice second only in sweetness to the angel's fills the vast room with: I always claim for my land. In one of the boxes sat two of the earth's prosperous, and like a lightning artist, the man's mind flashed picture after picture on his memory's screen. In faraway County Chare he saw a young gosson full to the brim of the sheer joy of living. The Scotch would call him a lad o' parts, the English a topping chap, but I'll declare to you that he was just a regular broth of a boy. Every old granny in the village, and clear down to every loss, thought the sun had its rising and setting in his merry charm, but only Eileen McDonagh had a mortgage on his affections. Ah, but she was the wisome colleen, and the likes of her was not to be found in a day's travel. Then an uncle in America sent money for his passage, with tules of success that set the lad wild to go. Ellen must stay with her old folks, but when he had a good start, then he would send for her, and together they would conquer this the new country. "My heart goes back there daily, To the girl I left behind me. When we kissed and said good-by." Ah, yes, at first 'twas so. Luck and pluck were with him, and his foothold grew firmer and stronger, and somehow in the struggle. Ellen drifted further into the background of his thoughts. The old bodies went one by one, and the black sorrow of loneliness was almost more than she could ablide, but never did her sweetheart grow bitter or complaining in its wearying for him. Faithful and true she was to her troth with Terence Q'Nell. "Where dear old Shannon's flowing, Where the three-leaved Shamrock grows, Where my heart is I am going To my little Irish Rose. And the moment that I meet her, With a hug and kiss I'll greet her—" Conscience woke up entirely, and a shillian stroke was gentle compared to the pain she gave him. For in these latest months of his prosperity he had decided that only a high-born, cultured American woman could rule his home and help to find new fields for his never-satisfied ambitions, and, cold-bloodedly, without a thought of love, he had set about to win her. This very minute, by his side, sat the lady of his worldly choice, and he had felt much elated that now she seemed not a great deal inverse to his gallant attentions. Sure, she never knew about that common past, and almost had he forgotten its connection with the aristocratic banker who looked at him from the mirror. Till tonight, that is. "Sure no letter I'll be mailing, For soon will I be sailing. The lady turned with a disdainful curl of the lip. "Really," says she, "one might expect the best music here and not vulgar street songs," and Terence's heart turned over with a thud of gratitude that wisdom had come not too late. Very quiet was he on the way home, and as he handed her from the limousine, declined her gracious invitation with a "Not tonight, thank you, as I have pressing business to attend to immediately. And I probably will not see you again for some time, as I leave on the Cannople's next date of sailing." And now we come to a matchless evening in dear old Killatoe—a night of enchanted moonlight, when all the fairies and little folk are casting their spells on everything. All alone at her window sits Eileen, with the melting sweetness of her harp suiting her voice as she sings so sadly: "It may be years, and it may be forever." And into the room strides Terence of her thoughts. "Not on your life!" says he in the true American style, and then dropped on his knees beside her, and into the tender old brogue. "Mavourneen, all this time I've been madly, foolishly following a will-o-the-wisp, but when I came to me senses and gave me heart the lead, it brought me to my own true love, straight as the crow files. Will ye go back with me, darlin', to be the dear light of me life the blessed saints call us from our own paradise to theirs?" And something he saw in her face made him dare to greet her after the fashion of the Shaurock song. Then because 'tis the way of a woman to forgive and forget, acushin, I can end my story in your favorite way: "And they all lived happy ever after."

The argument of the Virginian-Pilot is the argument that will do most to keep the Afro-American in the South, where he prefers to live, and where he would be contented to live if he received a larger measure of legal justice and economic fairness. The conclusion is a safe one that the South will need all of its Afro-American labor when times get brisk again, and they are going to do that as a matter of course. The Virginian-Pilot goes after the root of the trouble when it says: "Instead of wondering smugly why workman are leaving the South for sections where economic conditions are no better, it would be profitable to ascertain if conditions in the Southern communities from which they are departing need correcting. "One has only to scan the news dispatches of the past two months to arrive at the suspicion that at the best in some of this emigration is grimly succession of lynchings that makes a mockery of justice. "The South has need of the respectable Negro and the latter has need of the South, but it must be a South purged of burglaries at the stake, peonage and mob murder. There must be a ruthless stamping out of the shameful and criminal practice of seizing a black man accused of a crime, and doing away with his life before he is found guilty in a court of justice." Furthermore, and it must not be overlooked, it has become a common occurrence to terrorize whole communities of Afro-Americans when a search is made by lawless lynchers for one person alleged to be guilty of some offense, as recently happened not a hundred miles from Norfolk. Innocent people should not be made to suffer, and to be placed in fear of their lives and property because of the alleged offense of one of their number; and the alleged criminal should not be hunted down as if he were a beast by an unauthorized body of men, and put to death without the process of law; all this should be left to the officers of the law selected by all of the people to attend to that very lie in the.

The reporter was picked up by prearrangement and wrote a graphic account of the mid-night ceremony. The newspapers of Memphis came out promptly in condemnation of such activities as belonging within the province of the police power, and the local branch of the American Legion adopted a resolution in condemnation of such activities, declaring that it believes in doing things in the light and not in the dark, and in leaving such matters to the police department. The scene shifts. At Dallas, Texns, April 2, the following happened, according to a news dispatch: "The Ku Klux Klan held midnight court again in the South last night. "Symbols of the order were burned in fiery acid on the fore- head of Alexander Johnson, Negro, 'tried' with a rope around his neck, amid the lonely hills, of Dallas county and 'found guilty' of intimacy with a white woman. "Between 25 and 30 lashes were applied to Johnson's naked back and later, beaten and bleeding, the letters 'K. K. K.' were burned in his forehead as a 'warning to women' to associate with white women". "He was turned loose upon the steps of the fashionable hotel where his alleged offense was committed and commanded to tell other Negro employees of his fate. The sheriff said he would have nothing to do with the case, because Johnson was guilty and deserved the treatment he received, and the city authorities said they would have nothing to do with it because the offense, as alleged, was committed outside the city limits. Now, it is inconceivable that a citizen of the United States can be castigated and maimed in this fashion and have no possibility of redress in State, municipal or Federal courts. Power to reach such crime exists somewhere in our scheme of Government and it should be found. HELD TO ENFORCED LABOR The developments brought out by State and Federal authorities of Georgia of peonage practices on the Williams' farm in Jasper county, in which some thirteen Afro-Americans have been brutally murdered to shield the owner of the plantation in possible prosecution by the Federal authorities, most of the murders having been committed since last February, emphasize the review of enforced labor conditions in the Valley of the Mississippi River, made by William Pickens, field secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Nation, for March 23, and republished for general distribution by the Association. Mr. Pickens' information was secured during his investigation, on the spot, of the lynching and burning of John Henry Lowry, at Nodena, Arkansas, last January. The corrected version, as reported by Mr. Pickens, is that Lowry shot the Craigs, after he had been fired upon by one of the seers. Because he insisted upon a settlement of accounts between him and the platter. Mr. Pickens states that "debt slavery" in the Great Delta country, including Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Tennessee and Eastern Texas, is general. Labor is forced and the laborer is a slave. A debt of a few hundred dollars may tie a man and his family as security in his life to the white planter as if he had purchased their bodies. The old strength amendment has never been abolished in this nation. The prevailing system is incapable for much of the public law cases which has affiliated the group of States in the Delta. The desperate "debt slave" often murders his oppressor, as Lowry did, and then he is lynched and often burned at the stake. Mr. Pickens says: "This is the system that obtains in the great Mississippi Valley. ```markdown ``` is better for the interest to do. If we can bring about these desired things during the life of the Harding Administration we shall not have voted the Republican ticket in vain in the last November elections. Virginia Farmers Making Progress Hampton, Va.-That Negro farmers of Virginia are working systematically to improve their land, grow large food crops, build more attractive homes, and encourage their boys and girls to go to school was clearly shown in reports which were recently made to John B. Pierce, special agent of the States Relations Service, at the Hamilton Institute meeting of the Virginia colored district agents; -Lizzie A. Jenkins, Griffin E. Oliver, John L. Charity, and Julian E. Bagley, who are successful developing state-wide extension work among colored farmers and their families. BUSINESS BREVITIES The people of the United States spent over a billion dollars for candy the past year. How much are you selling? In America, women buy 87 per cent of all raw and market foods; 96 per cent of all dry goods; 48 per cent of all drug supplies; 48 per cent of all hardware and house furnishings, and even 11 per cent of their men's clothing. The Pullman Company, operating the sleepers and chair cars on the various railroads, is the equivalent of a hotel with 260,000 beds, 2,900 office desks at which 26,000,000 guests register every year. It has 8,000 Negro porters, owns linen钱 $2,000,000.00, uses $60,000.00 worth of soap a year. F. J. RYAN Coming from North Carolina in 1912, Mr. F. J. Ryan secured a position in Norfolk as an insurance agent. For six years he plugged away in that capacity. In 1918 he decided there was a better and more independent way of making a living than chasing insurance. With a capital of about $500.00, he opened a grocery on the corner of Cumberland and Suffolk streets. There he has spent the past three years as owner and salesman. Last fall he was in need of more room. He leased the whole house in which the store was located so that he could increase his floor space, which was doubled by taking out the stairway and knocking out the rear portion entering another room. His store grew by about $3,000.00 and this has been increased by the profits from the sales of the initial investment of $500.00. Mr. Ryan is a conservative and yet a progressive merchant. Being on the corner from the Armstrong school has meant much from his view point. He has built up a patronage among the children that has gone up to the parents and brought them as permanent customers. Mr. Ryan says that his business is picking up a little, showing improvement over both January and February. He has become a substantial citizen of Norfolk and purchased stock in the new theatre and one of the banks. L. J. LAYTON Starting five years ago in the grocery business in the city of Portsmouth, Va., with a capital of $120,000, Mr. Layton presents an interesting character of a man who has made a success in his line. After four years in Portsmouth, Mr. Layton decided to move across the river to Norfolk. At this time he acquired his stock to more than $25 million in power equipment of becoming a powerful employer of the great Norfolk, he purchased the property at 850-52 Princess Anne avenue, occupying one of the store rooms for his business and renting the other for a barber shop. He has been there about 2 year. Mr. Layton carries a full line of groceries, fruits, fresh meats, and a few notions. He is in favor of the colored retail groceries unifying their buying power as a means of lowering the cost of groceries and making it easier to sell to well-known retailers located across the street from the new location of the Negro Chamber of Commerce. W. R. LEARY About two years ago Mr. Leary, who was a marine engineer, decided to quite the sea and enter business for himself. He secured a store in the 1200 block on Church street and opened a grocery store with about $700,000. His business has increased and his place has become a fixture in this place, although a chain store has so far found a dwelling in his place. CLEAN UP WEEK APRIL 17TH - SATURDAY Led me, woman and children thought about the entire State but them selves together to make this the greatest health campaign we have ever had and our homes and communities the clearest and healthiest that are to be found anywhere." This call is signed by Allen Washington, Hampton Institute, president; John M. Gandy, State Normal School, Petersburgh, executive secretary; and Lorenzo C. White, Richmond, field agent. Woman Dies in Church Roxana Williams, living at 312 Glasgow street, dropped dead at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon while attending church service at Taylorsville. Dr. Glover, the coroner, was called to view the body. He learned that the woman had been complaining of feeling ill whisk on her way to church. When attention was attracted to her in midst of the service, members of the negotiation event to her assistance and carried her from the church into the open air. It was then discovered that she was dead. The coroner did not deem an inquest necessary, having been satisfied that death was due to natural causes.

Brown, of Kentucky, formerly assistant director of publicity with the Republican National Committee, has been appointed commissioner of conciliation in charge of work among colored labor. The Bureau of Negro Economies, Department of Labor, of which Dr. George E. Haynes was director, has been reorganized, and will have entire charge of conciliation, and cover the field of labor in a thorough manner. Secretary Davis of the Department of Labor took the stand that as the Department of Labor is an agency having to deal with labor and its problem, it should have within it a bureau authorized to deal with problems of Negro labor. Mr. Brown has been sworn in. Negro Health Week was observed in the colored public schools with appropriate and instructive programs. Various days were kept, such as hygiene day, children's health day, swat the fly day, and general clean up day. Prominent colored physicians gave freely of their time to go to the various public school buildings where they delivered timely talks on health and general welfare.

Mrs. Annie Price, wife of the condemned man, was jointly indicted with him for the killing, but was acquitted, although she was alleged to have handed her husband the pistol with which he shot Smith. Mrs. Kelly Speaks In Atlanta Mrs. Emma V. Kelly, G. D. Secretary of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., has returned from Atlanta, Ga., where on last Sunday she delivered the annual address for the Lodge Sorry exercises of Gate City Lodge and the City Temple of that city. One of the largest audiences that ever assembled for such an occasion heard Mrs. Kelly, whos address was received with great appreciation. On Monday she was the guest of Gate City Temple at a banquet given in her honor at the Y. M. C. A. Building. (Continued from page 1) A telegram from Washington, D.C. announcing the death of James H. Jones, 90 years' bld, who was Jefferson Davis' valet during and after the close of the Civil War, occurred in that city and whose remains will be brought to this city and buried. This writer's observation and contact through many years of the Civil War a teacher in the common public school is certain of the Southern States impels him to say that nine tenths of the Negro boys and girls who complete the seventh graded curriculum know little or nothing about the history of his race from the time his forefathers were brought to this country up to 1921. This writer is ready to venture a wager and feel almost certain to win, were he to ask the average seventh grade colored boy or girl to write unrailed an essay of 300 or more words, entitled, "The Negro as a Man Up to 1921." The reply would be, "I don't know what to say." Why so? The answer is, "No Negro history is used as a text, book in our public schools or Negro colleges. This is to the writer's viewpoint a very important matter, one that should be looked into and remedied as soon as possible. Southern white people guard with scrupulous care the wording of every history, relating to their actions during the Civil War between the States from 1860 to 1865, rejecting any history from their schools that intimates their guilt for seceding from the Union of States. And they go still farther by rejecting any arithmetic that contains problems that reflect on their valor. This being true, is it not time for Negroes in this country to begin the shaping of their youths' minds properly on questions of Negro achievements and heloism during the many years he has labored and toiled in this his adopted country? Cramming our youths' heads with grammar, geography and arithmetic, leaving out race history, is like bread cooked, leaving out the yeast. Monster Mass Meeting The Colored Chamber of Commerce Second Calvary Baptist Church, Wednesday night, April 21st. This meeting will be part of a general educational program to promote thrift and ownership of homes. The movement is being observed throughout the city. Sunday, all the preachers have been asked to preach a sermon on thrift and own your home. Business men will also supplement these sermons with short talks. The housing conditions in Norfolk are extremely bad and this movement is intended to help get better homes and better conditions. The building and loan associations and banks are joining together with the Chamber of Commerce in order to make the movement a grand success.

REV. MADISON'S ANNIVERSARY Taking a small church of less than 250 members six years ago, and by constant effort, prayer and perseverance increasing the membership to more than 1,400 and building a new church edifice at a cost of $72,864.00, with a very small balance to be paid, is indeed a fine record. This is a record that any pastor should be proud of and has brought this pastor into national fame because of his phenomenal success. The church has right to feel proud of the efforts its pastor, Rev. Madison, has made. Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor of one of Philadelphia's largest churches, and editor of the Baptist Defender, of that city, preached the anniversary sermon Sunday, the 10th, and was present at the exercises Monday night at the church where all of the auxiliary organizations of the church participated in making the biggest and best anniversary ever held in the history of Second Calvary. A suit of shoes, a suit of clothes and a $105.00 gift to Mrs. Madison, a total of $1,090.22 was placed in this great pastor's hands. The choir rendered special music for this occasion and Rev. A. A. Galvin, of Newport News, acted as master of ceremonies. President Harding Denounces Lynching Throughout America Washington, D. C., April 12.—President Harding minced no words in putting the problems of lynching and segregation before Congress in his message last Tuesday. His message holds much hope for the race. He said in part: "Somewhat related to the foregoing human problems in the race question. Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the bannies of a free and orderly, representative democracy. We face the fact that many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our population, and that, in a number of States, they constitute a very large proportion of the total population. It is necessary to recount the difficulties incident to the condition, nor to emphasize the fact that it is a condition which cannot be neglected. There has been suggestion, however, that some of its difficulties might be neglected by a humane and enlightened consideration of it, a study of its many aspects, and an effort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life. One proposal is the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races, to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am convinced of charitable tolerance, understanding charitable recognition of the races, and the maintenance of the rights of citizenship has the road to righteous adjustment."

THE PRESBYTERY OF SOUTHERN VIRGINIA This ecclesiastical court convened at Christ church, Burkeville, March 29, and continued in session until Thursday night, the 31st. All churches were represented, by letter or by report. The sitting opened with the usual address by the retiring moderator, Elder I. M. Martin of Richmond, on this occasion, holding that honor. Following the address and the administration of the Lord's Supper Presbytery was constituted by the election of Rev. Edward Robinson, the host-pastor, moderator, and Elde Matt N. Lewis, of Newport News, temporary clerk, and by the appointment of necessary committees. After devotions Wednesday morning, Dr. Feninger, chaplain of Hampton Institute, made a most wholesome and helpful address on the "Privilege and Responsibility of the Ministry." The minister is on the defensive, he showed, and is under obligation to measure up to the responsibility he assumes. It does not pay to be a hatin-hand preacher. He should have a conviction and the courage to maintain it; a vision and the zeal to attain it. Dr. Feninger deplored the dearth of ministerial students in colleges of all denominations. He knew of only two colleges, he said, that carried capacity classes. The afternoon session was devoted to reports of churches and committees. Bethany church of Norfolk made a fine showing, being able to report her entire new era quota paid and all obligations provided for. Wednesday night's session was treated to an inspiring address by Dr. Alter, president of Ingleside Seminary. Thursday morning's sitting had the privilege of hearing Dr. White, of the white Baptist church. In the afternoon, Dr. McCrory, president of Biddle University, gave a review of the work of that institution. He gave the gratifying information that a twenty-five thousand dollar improvement had been added to the science department. He took occasion also to explain the cause and consequence of the recent strike that threatened to disrupt the college. His statement won the unqualified approval of the Presbytery, and a resolution was adopted to that effect. Rev. Kendrick, of South Boston, and an elder whose name I do not recall, were elected commissioners to General Assembly, which convenes at Winona Lake, Indiana, May 19th. On request of the congregation in West Mundin, near Berkley, a committee was appointed to set apart a church there.

Washington High School presented their minstrel show on the night of April 6th. The entertainment was a success from start to finish. The first series or Minstrelsy was a riot of songs and amusing jokes and conundrums. Edward Archer as interlocutor; Devoe men were up to the role Langley as end men were up to the role. Especially worthy of mention were Cliffon Cason, Frank Scott and the imitable Chas, Williams as soloists. Black and Jackson, of the second series, in their sketch, "Hungry," could not be beaten. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of the entertainment was the third series, "The Rustic Serenaders," for Smith ELIZABETH CITY TO HAVE CLUB Elizabeth City, N.

VIRGINIA UNION SWAMPS HOWARD That the Virginia Union University baseball team pitched greatly by their series of games in North Carolina was clearly demonstrated in their game with Howard University, of Washington, D. C. The visitors from the capital were completely outclassed in every department of play, by the fast red and steel nine, who were easy victors, 10-3. Though Long, of Howard, pitched an outburst game holding the Unionites bitless the game inning, yet errors galore by the blues allowed the home team to pile up the score, deftries. Union's south-paw, kept the Howardites "hitting" throughout the game. Pagine, of Howard, got a triple. But strike-outs were numerous among the team-mates. Cap. McCormick played stella ball for Union. Line-up: VA, UNION Adams Gregory McGuinn (Cp.) Greg Branch Jackson Johnson McAlister Jeffries HOWARD Boland Smith Josephus Payne Tyson Sovel McVay Keene Long Howard to E Noted Penn. Washington, D. C.—Howard University will send the following team to be entered in the Penn Relay Races to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, April 29 and 30, 1921: H. K. Perry, L. J. Robinson, F. D. Williams and R. J. Fitzgerald, with R. Contee and F. Jones as substitutes. Perry, Williams and Fitzgerald were members of the team representing Howard at the Penn races held last year. The Howard University team won the class with Tufts, Carnegie Institute, Rochester, Hobart, Vermont, and Bowdoin. There is every reason to believe that the team will make a creditable showing for Howard. BOYKINS. VA. The Southampton County School Fair held its annual meeting in the Cool Spring Baptist church of Franklin, Va. Every teacher in the county was supposed to be present and have their schools represented by bringing some kind of work. The boys and girls of Boykins School were anxious to let the other schools see what they could do, if their conditions were not as good in school-house line. They had their school well represented by the neat little wearing apparel and doll furniture. They were rewarded three first prizes and one second There were several classes taught by NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE AT ATTUCK A copy of Scott & Chiles Colored our desk recently, and after booking it, said that it is certainly the right public the colored athlete in our colleges gone has been somewhat the cause for the last student body; there have been too few compliments of all the race.

Winn, a wonder with the Harmonica; Dillard and Beston as soloists, put things across in approved minstrel style. Following this came the sketch "In the Police Court," which brought forth roars of laughter from the delighted audience, Land and Adamson, ten fingers of syncopation and five strings of jazz, were at their best, while the victim solo by Mr. Adamson, a classical selection, was delightfully rendered. The sixth series, and last, "The Cabaret at Hotel on de Blink," was a scream from start to finish, Cason, Johnson, Haunmond, Harris and Lassiter, and indeed all who took part, prompted themselves well. The whole performance was a credit to the school and the directors. ATTUCKS THEATRE NEXT WEEK The Broken Gate Distributed by W. W. HODKINSON CORD "THE BROKEN GATE" "The Broken Gate," a feature picture, is to play at the Attucks Monday and Tuesday. The story: "For twenty years 'Aurora Lane' has been living in Spring Valley, explaining the one false step of her girlhood. She has borne the entire burden of shame, the man who was her partner in guilt is quite unknown. She has reared Don, her nameless boy, and given him a college education by conducting a little millinery shop, never letting him know of her existence. He comes to her, and no sooner has his foot in the village than he learns of the reputation his mother bears. "Don is in love with Anne Oglesby, and she with him. Judge Henderson, her guardian, also lives in Spring Valley and when she tells him who her fiance is, he refuses his consent. The sheriff is murdered and suspicion fastens itself upon Don. He is taken to town and when she tells him that her heartbroken, goes to Judge Henderson to save the boy. There is an excited dialogue between them. Anne, in the next room, is brought to the realization that her guardian is Don's father. She takes her stand by Aurora, and together they buy Henderson off to use his influence to free the boy. He escapes from prison, and arrives home to find a mob of villagers, infuriated at the Sheriff's death, breaking into the house and destroying its contents. The boy is razed and attempts to retaliate upon the man who has insulted his mother, but he is seized and the officers of the law control the mob and drive them forth. It then develops that the true murderer of the Sheriff was a half-witted boy and a short half hour later Don is free. Then Brooks, the man who has been Aurora's faithful friend through all the bitter years, confronts Henderson and determines that he is infessful all the time. The father. Thinking to expiate the wrong he has done Aurora, he proposes marriage to her, but she refuses and the final scene shows him, a bent Enter Team In Relay Races different teachers of the county, which was quite helpful to all. Miss Sally Copeland, of the F. N. & I. L., demonstrated her class in Science so well that even the smallest school child there could never forget solid, liquids, and gases.

(Mrs. Catherine Allen) The funeral of Mr. John Rodgers was held at the Mt. Olive Baptist church on April 5, 1921. He was a member of that church for four years, and also a member of the Knights of Gideon. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. J. H. Ruffins and J. B. Williams. $ ^{*} $ The funeral of Mr. Dempsey Carr was held at the Mt. Olive Baptist church on April 11, 1921. He was a member of that church for eighteen years, and served as a deacon for eight years. He also was a member of Knights of Gideon lodge, G. U. O. of O. F., Masons, and Pythians. The oral designs were many. The service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. E. Smith, D. D., former pastor, and Rev. Abbitt, of Portsmouth, Va. The PANDORA BOX A copy of Scott & Chiles Colored Collegiate Foot Ball Record came to our desk recently, and after looking it over carefully, we came to the conclusion that it certainly the right publication at the right time. Too long has the colored athlete in our colleges gone without the publicity due him. This has been somewhat the cause for the lack of appreciation generally among the student body; there have been too few laurels to gain. This publication should be in the hands of every school boy. All athletic associations should subscribe for it; it deserves the support of the race. Mr. Scott and Mr. Chiles should be proud of their efforts, and they deserve the compliments of all the race. The fact that Howard University has entered a team in the Penn Relay Reeves should win the united support of all schools and all coaches should offer their service in helping shape for team into first-class condition. A creditable showing by this team will affect every school of color in America. The fact that Howard has entered should spice Lincoln, Virginia Union, Wilberforce University, and others to also enter. White schools from all the country enter this blue ribbon classic every year, so why not colored? The sporting world after all offers the colored boy the best chance to compete on eventerms with his white brethren. Colored schools, wake up and follow suit! Chappie is fast whipping his team into shape for the season, which is to open here next week with the Washington club. The Washington boy are here now working out at League Park. Norfolkians are anxiously awaiting the opening series so they may get a line on the players. With good weather, a record crowd is expected. Judging from the way our teams throughout the country are lining up for the coming season, this year ought to be one of the best in the history of baseball. The National Negro League will be one of on a stronger basis than they did last. Andy Lawson will put his thumb in practice with his new Continental League, and various other organization have a great season. With another sweet year like last year, and the decreasing morale of the big league players, we think it is just a matter of time before these big moguls will have to break the color line they have held on to so long. In the sporting world, its class alone that counts with the fans. The man who has class, be he white or colored, will always be the popular guy. If these colored team: play a clever game of ball than their white brethren, you can bet your bottom dollar that the coords are going to see the best. on man, walking down the little path from her home, while florace Brooks with a firm step walks up the path to a well-deserved happiness."

This is attributed to the members themselves by the fact that they were all good friends before the making of the picture.

By a happy coincidence the two girls were just as congenial as were the men, and as a result a very happy state of affairs existed. After the confinement in close artificially lighted studios generally attentive upon the making of a picture, all of them on players found the invigoration of the "out-door" work extremely welcome.
