Revival of Race Issue
Negro. Opposes Feder
Because It Might Benet
Bachman, Va.—Harry St. George Township, for Governor of Virginia, in an address delivered in this city Saturday night, rivaled Governor Morrison of North Carolina, with his antithesis in the assault against the proposed Federal educational bill, the bill to regulate the Jip Grow Law, the state Lynch law bill and other measures. The measures might be a direct benefit to the race. He gives us a reason to his slogan "back to the Constitution," his opposition to the civic battle work of the defenseless black man.
Opposes Federal Educational System
He is quite possible that Mr. Tucker is intelligent enough to know that there is no danger of mixed schools in Virginia through Federal education, but he said: "If these bills are passed and our government gives me a regulate education in Virginia, then we may expect to see what is in vogue in many Northern States, dear little colored children going to the same classes with the sweet little white children."
Opposes Uniform Divorce Laws
Mr. Tucker, made another 'absurd' association, jargarding, uniform divorce laws. This would mean Federal regulation of marriage and make it possible to abolish the law which forbids marriage between white and blacks in Virginia.
Jim Crow Law in Danger
"Some one has introduced into Congress a bill to give the Federal Government power to regulate the Jim Crow law. It must be contended: "I mean that the only way to prevent the passage of such an intuitive law is to appeal to the Constitution of the country, which guarantees that the government should Consider for a moment what this means. If the Federal Government shall assume the 'power of forcing the whites and blacks to occupy the same space' of the land, the same power will justify a bill by Congress requiring the State of Virginia to educate its white and black children in the same schools. Could disastrous time come? If so, the school problem of the State might be easier of solution than now, for, unless the spirit of Virginia has changed, no Legislature would be able to form such a school system in Virginia.
And so with the law giving Congress the control of lynching. Lynchings is murder. Murder is an offense kill a man it is no offense against the law of the United States, unless the act be committed in the District of Columbia, or on the high sors, or within one of the reservations of the United States to take a man into a court to try him under the power of the United States, whose law he has no broken. A man that commits murder in Pennsylvania and escapes to Virginia and is caught can't be tried in Virginia because he may be taken to jail if this bill becomes a law, the man may be taken from the jurisdiction whose law he has violated, and tried by a court of another jurisdiction. People confess not to know what I mean by 'Back to the Constitution.'"
WILL ENFORCE SEGREGATION IN STATE PRISON
(descaled to Norfolk Journal and Guide)
Richmond, Va.—The board of directors of the State Penitentiary on general inspection and investigation of conditions at the prison last week found that the resolution adopted June 15, 2014, of white and colored prisoners in State institutions was not being enforced and provision will be made for the enforcement of the same. The prisoners are already eating in separate dining halls and rumor has it that white prisoners are being held in white prisoners and the new ruling than the colored. Harry St. George Tucker, candidate for Governor, strongly advocates prison segregation.

PREJUDICE RAMPANT IN WASHINGTON
Washington, D. C., May 5 "Sure, I must fight, if I would win, increase my courage, Lord," is a couple of song and prayer that Colored Americans may well pin to the must head of the Ship of Progress. "The Rebels are comonest to the war fact they have not left, Washington, and thereby hang the tale.
As stated by The Associated Negro Press in previous correspondence the disposition of the Administration is to be fair and just. Only two months old, the Rebels have a firm grip. The Democrats are dying hard, and they are fighting. It has been maintained by many that if the Republicans would show just half the fighting spirit that the Democrats show in things they believe in, the millicenium would soon come.
The Republicans have hundreds and tens of thousands of employees from every section of the South, city and backwords, sipping the nectar of governmental ease and greenbacks for eight years; then comprehend, if you will, that inmate hatred of Negro progress, and political preference, and you have a definite picture in testimony of fairness up there" up have not all been plucked as yet, and they are as busy as hornets, and have a sting just as poisonous.
Take the Department of the Auditor for the Navy, a number of the white clerks having learned that there may be a possibility of a colored American again being appointed to this position, they too, Brute, having bestirred themselves in the form of a petition "requesting and urging that a Negro he not appointed." The first petition, with 165 names, almost ready to turn over to the "Powers that be," suddenly dispatched but there are those who it will rise to so free the accusers or accursed at the time. A second petition is being prepared.
AN AMAZING DISCOVERY
The Asso. Negro Press, through a system of unquestioned reliability and backed up by sworn affidavits, has discovered a conspiracy of racial prejudice that is truly alarming. The general public is asked to look into these matters carefully, and to weigh the charges cautiously. The conspiracy is not fostered by the Administration, nor any member of the cabinet to be held accountable to remnants of Democratic hold-overs are doing their worst to embarrass the Administration, and to hold back American applications.
The Associated Negro Press has written a communication, giving detailed instances of prejudices and discrimination, in one of the biggest departments of the government, and the letter has been sent to the cabinet member who is the head of that department. He is the chair of the department been received and it is known that the charges are being thoroughly investigated. It is known that the southern Democratic chief clerk has been called on the carpet about the matter, and he has sought to secure a clean bill of health from the Colored employees, and these unstanding Americans are退去 to give to the sootherher solace. The police have been secured since the first letter was sent, and if there is a disposition to whitewash the charges, more evidence will be produced.
REGARDING APPOINTMENTS
Regarding the subject of appointments, some have even tended to say that the administration cannot cold feet. But this cannot be verified. There are certain conditions obtaining, and if these are stated, the public may reach conclusions with as much assurance as the veriest politician or correspondent. The New York World Democrat, in its Washington corres-

White Ministers Would Not Help Check Ku Klux
(Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide
Daville, Va., May 5.—The colored ministers of the city last week made an appeal to the city legislature to assist them in the prevention of an organization of a local branch of the Ku Klux Klan in this city which is being organized by the Ku Klux Klan from Atlanta, Ga.
The colored ministers have seen formally notified by the white ministers that they would oppose the suppression of the organization of the Klan. While the white ministers refused to give reasons for their refusal, it is unreasonable to suppose the officers of the white union opposed the stand taken by the body.
pondence recently, called attention to the fact that up to date no Presidential appointment has been made. The appointments of Liat. Flipper, by Secretary Fall, and of Phil H. Brown, by Secretary Davis, may be termed "personal" and do not require Senate confirmation. President Harding has adopted a policy of permitting the cabinet to appoint a person of large measure. This relieves him of considerable detail, and worry. The World states that Charles W. Anderson has the strongest backing for his old position of Collector of the Port of New York, and that Colored people thru-out the United States have begun to wonder, in the matter of appointments, Why the delay. The answer is that the agenda is very perilous, and very insistent. It works while you sleep. It has caused one cabinet member to state that his mind is not fully made up concerning the appointment of a Colored American to a big place in his country. This is the establishment of a precedent. This man has always been known to be fair, the question is, is he weakener?
Politics make strange bed-fellows, now as always. Governor Dorsey, Democrat, of Georgia, who is about to retire, denounces lynchings, peonage and calls for remediation in language West Virginia, forming a pocket between the North and the South, passes drastic lynch and civil rights laws, and Pennsylvania, keystone of the thirteenth original colonies and rock-ribbed Republican, falls fat on Civil Rights in the hour of need. The governor, in an international between the Presses and the Vare elements does not lighten the fall. The Cleveland Coll is authority for the report that Governor Harry Davis of Ohio is going to fail in the matter of appointing Colored Amer-icans. Later reports from Columbus, however, state that Gov. Davis will make good.
BILLS IN CONGRESS
The various measures introduced in Congress, bills against lynching, and bills for the formation of commissions of one kind and another are resting in the pigeon-holes of the respective judiciary committees, to which they have been referred. One of the best known members of Congress, a man who does not introduce any of these bills, but rather administers with their purport, said to the Associated Negro Press representatives, "The Associated Negro Press should call attention of the Colored people of America to the need of urging that these bills be brought up in committees. The Chairman of the judiciary represents the House of Representatives Andrew J. Chairman of the judiciary Committee of the Senate is Senator Knute Nelson. Write letters to these men, and write letters to your Congressmen and Senators and tell them what is wanted is action. Lynching must stop in this land. All organizations and newspapers should take action (this greatest of all fights for right, and the people must back up the newspapers and editors). There is the message, word for word. What are the people going to do about it?

Will Greatly Aid In Securing Justice for Afro-Americans Accused of Crime
(Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide)
Raleigh, N. C. North Carolina's new anti-lynching bill is entitled "An Act to Promote the Due Administration of Justice and to Lessen the Crime of Lynching." It permits the judge violating the court in which an accused person was convicted of the case to another court without preliminary appearance of the defendant before him. Thus an accused person may be sent to a distant county for safekeeping but may remain there for unprejudiced trial without even a temporary return to the neighborhood of the alleged crime law will greatly aid in securing justice for those accused of serious crimes.

Was Not Recognized by White Father Who Sold Property Without Her Consent: Oil and Mineral Rights Go To Her.
(Special to Norfolk Journal and Guide)
New Orleans, La.—Through a decision rendered in the State Supreme Court, Mrs. Lillian Taylor, whose father, a white man, sold his twenty million dollar estate to Angeline Allen and George West, was awarded the oil and mineral rights in the property which is located in Claiborn Parish. After Mrs. Taylor had been ignored in the disposition of the property she brought suit through the courts with results the parentage of Mrs. Taylor was the chief of the case and the decision was rendered on this question, it being proven that she was the illegitimate daughter of the original owner of the property and the principal guarded Mrs. Taylor is today probably the richest colored woman in America.
Pinkerton detectives to apprehend the forger, which was done. In spite of this evidence of regularity as to Bank procedure, and of honest intentions the government secret service agent undertook to frame charges of "conspiracy to defraud" against the young man.
Upon hearing of the charges, Attorney Leon M. Bazile, of Richmond, assistant attorney general of the State, who has known Mr. Baker from myhood, volunteered his services to defend him and waived in court compliance in the part of the bank employees to do so when the trivial came up. Other prominent Richmond citizens were on hand to testify as characters among them, Mr. John T. Taylor, the Social Security Savings Bank and the Richmond Memorial Insurance Co., and Col Giles B.

No Evidence to Sustain Charges,
Framed Against Tidewater
Employees by Treasury
Department Agent
Ruling that there was no evidence
to show intent to defraud, as charged
in the indictment, Judge Edmund
Wayard ordered the jury in the United
States to Tuesday in acquit
Messrs. G. W. C. Brown, H. H. Higg
son and Edward A. Baker, charged by
an agent of the treasury department
with "conspiracy to defraud the government",
in connection with a government
forged upon Tidewater Bank
and Tidewater Bay by one
James Parker, who represented
himself to be Edward Gordan.
The trial ended rather abruptly,
when, after assistant district attorney
Miller had presented the case for the
Taylor, of counsel for the defense, man-
otion to quash the indictment on the
grounds that there was no evidence
to sustain it. Judge Waddell excused
the jury and heard argument on the
Taylor in support of it, and by which he
to it; after which he sustained the
motion, recalled the jury and ordered it
to acquit the defendants.
In announcing his ruling Judge
Waddell stated that the government
did not have any basis at all upon which to sustain
basis against the young men
The decision to move that the indictment be quenched was reached by Diggs, Captain Tazwell Taylor, Leon M. Bazile, of Richmond, prior to going into the trial, and was made immediately after the government's case had been presented and without any testimony for the defense.
No GROUNDS FOR CHARGES
Those familiar with the case had never entertained any doubts as to the acquittal of the bank employees, the agent, and the treatment agent, in bringing charges against them was founded upon prejudice and ignorance rather than facts. The arrests were made in a sensational and spectacular murder, and the court ordered that persecute the men and embarrass the bank. Although the charges were brought against the men the early part of last season, the court had insisted on a trial at the December term of court, the district attorney was not ready, and even when the case was called Wednesday, assistant district attorney Miller did not attend the trial witness, Edward Garden, in court.
The charges grew out of a forgyring perpetrated by one James Parker. The cheek was a government voucher and was returned after having been sent to the endorsement, a part of which was omitted, completed. Upon the return of the cheek a letter was addressed to Edward Gordon, the name that Parker gave when he deposited the cheek and complete the endorsement. The letter reached the genuine Gordon, instead of the fictitious one who forged the cheek, and when he came to the bank, without knowing that the inquiry in question assisted Gordon to complete the endorsement on same as called for. Upon learning, however, that the cheek was forged, the bank employee was informed in question assisted Gordon to complete the endorsement on same as called for. Upon learning, however, that the cheek was forged, the bank employee was informed in question assisted Gordon how to recover his money and also employed
Pinketton detectives to apprehend the forger, which was done. In spite of this evidence of regularity as to bank procedure, and of honest intentions on the part of the bank employees, the government secret service agent took to frame charges of "conspiracy to defraud" against the young men.
Upon hearing of the charges, Attorney Leon M. Bazile, of Richmond, assistant attorney general of the State, who has known Mr. Baker from Tyler, contacted him twice to defend him and was in court prepared to do so when the trial came up. Other prominent Richmond citizens were on hand to testify as character witnesses, among them H. P. John I. Taylor, president of the Second Street Savings Bank and the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Co., and Col. Giles R. Jackson, Mr. S. P. Ryland, vice-president of the First National Bank of Richmond, sent an affidavit testifying to the good character of Mr. Baker. The attorneys for the defense were Mr. J. Eugene Diggs, who is general counsel for the bank; Captain Tazewell Taylor and Mr. Leon M. Bazile.
IMPORTANT MEASURES ADOPTED
Politicians of Shoe String District Endorse Anti-Lynch Law and Congressional Investigation of Racial Conditions
(Special to JOURNAL & GUIDE)
Mound Bayou, Miss., April 28—The executive committee of the Third Congress District hold a highly interesting and important meeting here today, and adopted some measures of, and was largely attended, being the first since the election and inauguration of the Republican administration of National affairs, and some of the leging men of the District were present.
The Third Congress District is famous in race history as having given us for Senators in Congress Hiram R. Revels and Blanche K. Bruce and John R. Lynch as a member of the House of Representatives, all of whom except Major Lynch, have been the Shooting District and none of the best organized in the State.
The inspirational spirits of the meeting were Hon. Isaiah T. Montgomery, the founder of Mound Bayou, a real Negro Town, in which Negro control everything and have everything needed in an up-to-date community. The Postmistress, the telegraph and telephone operator, the Railroad Station Agent, the Mayor, everything—the Mound Bayou is owned and managed by Negro men, just completing a $100,000 high school which would be an ornament to their
The committee went on record as having confidence in the Republican Administration at Washington, and as repudiating any suggestion or interference of the National Committee for the State, Michal Mullivhill of Kicksburg, because he has repudiated all the conditions upon which the position of party affairs preceding in the conduct of party affairs will consulting the people who created him, and they voted unanimously to have Mr. Montgomery as their Spokesman on all matters affecting the third Congress District instead of Mr. Mulvihill.

MAYOR DENIES KNOWLEDGE OF KU KLUX
Always Maintained and Steed for Fair Play Among Racers. Would Give Protection Against, Outlaws
The publishers of the Nongolk Journal and Guide have received the following letter from Mayor Edgar H. Bain, of Goldsboro, N. C., refuting an article appearing in this newspaper week concerning the closing of a Greek cafe, that colored people, by order of the Ku Klux Klan. The Mayor said:
"In your issue of April 30th, you carried in a statement that the Mayor of Goldsboro refused protection of the city of Goldsboro refused protection of tain white parties who were conducting a restaurant for the patronage of colored people only. You will correct them. As a rule I do not pay any attention to idle gossip, but as I have always maintained and stood for fair play among every race, I feel 50 is justice to the better class of our colored people that this article be corrected.
"The two proprietors of the restaurant who were foreigners came up to me and told me that they officially but just dropped in, as they the building to see the tandora. They told me that the Ku Klux had ordored them to close and was there any law that there was no law against them although I did not have anything to do with the enforcement of the law, as the city had the managerial form that they had protection. I also informed them that I did not believe there was
by this firm, or organization of the Klu Klux in Golden, Mo. to me. Then I understand that they do not do business in an un-ordered manner, and stand only for law and order. I do not approve of the action taken in parties in closing this restaurant. "If the forgers or any other parties were to appeal to me, or the city police, they would receive protection. This was demonstrated in the attempt of lynching here a few months ago."

IN MEMORIAM
In sad, but loving remembrance of our dear father, George L. Askew, who departed this life May 6, 1918.
They laid him in his resting place of mother earth and clay, With flowers covered over the space, Three years ago today.
And on his grave the flowers bloom, The birds are singing bright; His loved ones come with hearts of gloom, And angels watch by night.
We lived a life of truth and love, In death he was the same, And now he lives in Heaven above, Free from all care and pain.
And when the storms of life are over, Which will not be so long, And we shall reach the other shore, And sing the angels' song.
The joys of Heaven will be complete, When with our loved ones stand And walk with them the golden street, And join the angels' band.
Tia then we will see his sainted face,
And clasp him by the hand,
And on his head we will see a crown,
For his good deeds to man.
The hungry ones by him were fed,
And shoes upon their feet,
He stood beside the poor man's bed,
Which made his life complete.
—His Loving Children.

‘aad’ other things? In “A Success Talk
for Farm Boys,” in his newspaper of
April 16th, he takes the position that
tne low “standard of living among
Afro-American farmers and farm-
Ihands is responsible for ‘‘cheap labor”
inthe South, and the low prices of
Cotton and tobacco, und that which
eheapens cotton and tobacco as. the
Fesalt of cheap “Negro labor” cheap-
ens white labor and makes possible
the low prices of colton und tobneco
raised by white farmers and farm
Ynborers. He has, therefore, reached
tha conclusion thyt, ax the (wo races
are going to remain tozether in the
‘South, the main thing to do is to raise
the standard of living among the cot-
‘red people. On this point he says:
“In other words, if one race is
yrtling to tive ina shanty, ear
Fagged clothes,” and eat. cheap
foods it fs moins to have anak
vantage ‘over in race which de=
mands hetter houses, better

and effectively to ulfset ‘the athe
er tace’s advantage. This is the
Atuation that. faces our white
people in the South today. Every
white nian who ix tarming is
working in competition with Ne~
gro farmers and furm laborers,
It is the low living standards of
the Nexro which huve mide cot-
ton. and tobeeco so clieap in the
past. ‘The Negro mule a great
Bart of the cotton crops, and he
‘was, willing to live in n cabin,
work in rags, and ent. fat meat
“and combread' for. his diet
Consequently, the world paid just
enough for estton to provide this
Standard of living.”
“ As a matter of fact, what Southern
Jabor was ever cheaper than slave
Tabor on the one hand, and more cost-
Yy of the other than slave Inbor? And
the pay of free labor in the produe-
tion ‘of cotton and tobacen was kept

cotton and tobacco remained at the old
slave price up to the World War,
‘whet, the unprecedented demand
placed the price up to as high as sixty
cents arpounil. Now it is round ten

was it in the slave system that Inbor
‘was cheap and consequently: that cot-
ton and tubaceo were cheap? Let Mr:
Poe pull down his William Kowknd

effects uf stave labor nl consult what
he says,
‘Who i responsbile for the low fnem-
hand wages that have prevailed since
the emancipation of the slaves, if

not too blinded by the desire for gain
to understand. And how much have
those wane catton and tobacco pro-
doers done to impruve (he living

war? Now much are they doing right
now?
Mr. Poe ignores the fact that Afro-
American illiteracy has heen reduced
By half since emancipation, and that
there has been a steady improvement
in the standard of livin among them.
He nlko ignores the fact that the white
farmers and farm-hands of the South

‘The Hampton Institute has just is-
‘amed a bulletin on “Negroes Ave Tn

“The report further shows thut the

At the fifth Founder's Day celebra-
tion, at Tuskegee Institute, recently,
the principal address was delivered by
Rev. M. Ashby Jones, D. D., pastor
of the Ponce de.i.con Avenue’ Baptist
church of Atlanta and a fearless mem-
her of the Commission on Inter-Rac-
ink Co-dperation, Pr. Jones rightfully
claimed that’ the whole Amerienn peo-
ple have an inheritance in the life and
work of Dr, Washington. That is the
tyne state of the case. What he ac-
complished for his rnce in uplift work
in inspiration for higher and better
conditions of living was n distinct con-
tribution to American civilization and
progress. Dr.” Jones, among. other
things, said:
“The Booker Washington type
ef leader has his eyes clear and
‘clean and his vision. unclouded.
He sees all the wrongs and does
not fenr to tell them. ‘He sees
the obstacles in the path of his
race's progress, and. doesnot
pause before them. He believes
‘tn the white rage and in the black
race. He also sees what they may
| become. The man who tries to lead
men with infidelity in his heart
is paralyzing in his influence.
‘The spirit of Booker Washington
is athrob and aglow today
| throughout the South and the Na-
Won. Let us send to the North
and West, the South ‘and the
East, this message: ‘Come sce
Tuskegee, the lengthened shadow
of Booker Washington's person-
ality, and swear by Booker Wash-
| inyeién's name’ that white and
| diuck people of the South and of
| the Nation shall hear slad_ news
| and the gospel of his life.’
| Dr. Washington did for his gen.
‘eration what Fredérick Douylss did
[for his. The one could not have done
ithe work of the other. ‘The work of
leuch of them was done in a perfect
Jand permanent way, so a8 to perpet-
ate the name as well as the work of

Aad. They give horior and standing

keep alive the work of cach of them,
jand all of the men and women of the
race who make history for it, that. our
boss and girls may gain inspiration
from them, and thus mect and con-
quer with ‘greater fortitude the ob-
stacles that stand in the way of every
person’ who tries to do something, who
tries to succeed.
Intelligent people in all sections of
the country are beginning to give
credit to whom it ig due, without
malicious reference to the ‘race and

Tidewater Baptist Ministers Entertain N. News Ministers
On Monday, March 15, 1921, the Tidewater Baptist Pastors' Union met in joint session with the Newport News Conference at Newport News, Va. The president of the conference called the meeting to order at 12:10 p.m., in the First Baptist church.
The opening worship was conducted by the Revs. F. D. McCreary, A. A. Hudgins, and R. H. Carey, after which the president, Rev. W. J. Brown, was presented, and delivered to the visitors a most cordial welcome. In his usual happy manner he made us welcome to every good thing in the city, and especially to the sumptuous repast that was to follow our program.
After the address of welcome, Dr. A. A. Galvin, the pastor of the church, was presented, and he too made a very interesting address, in which we were again reminded that we were welcome.
After this, President Brown turned the gavel over to Dr. B. W. Dance, president of the Tidewater Union, who announced that the house was ready for the order of the day.
Dr. F. W. Willimna was chosen to respond to the addresses of welcome, which he did in a most splendid manner. He impressed us with the large

ness of our task as ministers of the Gospel, and exhorted us to be true to the trust committed to our care. As for the repast, he assured the brethren that we would pass that way in manly order after a while.
President Dance introduced Dr. P. J. Wallace, pastor of the First Calvary Baptist church of Norfolk, who preached the sermon for the occasion. He used a text Luke 23:33. Thus, "The Atonement." This was a ministerly effort, which showed careful preparation. The message was powerfully delivered, and contained much food for thought.
The next number on the program was opened by the Rev. J. H. Ashby. The subject was, Revivals, and how to Conduct Them. The paper was a most excellent one, contained many valuable suggestions that may be put into practice in any field. He showed that he was familiar with the subject, which he was discussing.
Favorable comments were made on the program by the Revs. E. E. Smith, W. S. Sharp, and James H. Smith. The brethren made some very pertinent remarks concerning the task before us as messengers of God. A vote of thanks颁发了 the Tidewater Union for its excellent program. An offering of $0.10 was taken and presented to the pastor, Dr. Galvin.
After the rendition of the program, we enjoyed a sumptuous repast, which had been prepared by a committee of ladies of the city.
To show our appreciation, Dr. Dance chose the Rev. A. S. Hoard to thank the ladies for their splendid repast. The Rev. Hoard in a few remarks assured the ladies that well pleased with all that had truly spired. Benediction by the Rev. J. D. Ward. Rev. B. W. Dance, president; Rev. A. S. Hoard, secretary.
MASS MEETING AT SECOND CALVARY
Object, To Aid Weaver Ophan Home Caring For Destitute Orphans of State
May 5th will be Mothers' Day, and it is for motherless children that this meeting is being held. All churches, their auxiliaries, all secret orders and other organizations are earnestly requested to send delegates with donations to this meeting. We invite you to be present and to witness the proclamation of the little ones from the Home; especially do we invite parents to be present. This Home is located at Hampton, Va., and can be reached by going to Old Point Comfort, and there boarding a Newport News street car. Leave the car at Armstead and Queen Sts, and walk out Queen. Upon first sight of the Home one will know it. It's beautiful lawns and bright appear-
There are 41 little ones now in the home, about half of them being from Norfolk. The ages of the children range from 2 years to 12. Regular class-room work is conducted in the Home five days in each week under the direction of a competent teacher, Miss Mary E. Webster. The religious training is unexcelled anywhere else. Praise services and the study of the Bible have a place twice daily in the lives of the children. It is an object lesson to note the degree of happiness found among all three. The way the children cling together, the way they look to Rev. and Mrs. Weaver as their parents tell the story of the lives which they are capable of leading. They seem always happy, in spite of the fact that they are far from home and former friends. The house which is now used is inadequate for the number of children, and we appeal to the public to help us raise funds for building. Donations may be sent directly to the superintendent, Rev. W. B. Weaver, at the Home, Hampton, Va.
Your sympathy and prayers will go far toward helping us carry this great responsibility which our Father in Heaven has seen fit to place upon us. He has said, "Suffer the little ones to come unto me, and forbid them not for of such injustice of Godhaven." Sincerely. MRS. L. E. TITUS.
At 9:30, Supt. C. G. Madison opened the Sunday school with a large number of officers and scholars present. The lesson was taught from Deut. 6:4-9; Prov. 3:13-18; Luke 2:52. Subject, "Bible Teachings About Education." The lesson was beautifully taught, bringing out the great importance of getting an education in order that we might get a better knowledge and understanding. Rev. Keizer, of Stevensville, Ohio, was with us and gave a short talk. He asked that we would send the picture of the Young Men's Bible Class and the officers of the Sunday school to the National Baptist Publishing House and the American Baptist Publishing House, that they may insert it in their books.
Miss Maud Weaver Winston, of Ohio, was present also and spoke in the interest of the Weaver Home of Hampton, Va. A collection was raised for the Home.
At 11:30, Rev. Keizer preached to a crowded house. His sermon was forceful and inviting. He not only is a great preacher but a singer as well. After sermon he extended an invitation to those without a church home, also to sinners. Seventeen came forward to unite with us. At 5:30, Rev. Maxwell Maxwell preached an endidid sermon, logical, humorous and truthful. Every one present enjoyed the message.
At 5:30, our B. Y. P. U. rendered a program at the Shiloh Baptist church, of which Rev. J. H. Ashby is pastor. A large number went with us.
At 7 p. m., Bro. John Mason led the prayer service. At 8 p. m., Rev. Keizer led out in song service, and then a short testimonial service which warmed the saints up and put the sinners to think over their lost estate. He preached until the message was wafted above, filling the church with the presence of the Heavenly Father. After his sermon he extended an invitation to all those who had no church home. Thirteen came forward to unite with us and one sinner was happily converted. There were thirty accessions and a collection of $390.91. On the program on Monday night, April 11th, celebrating the sixth anniversary of Rev. Madison's pastorate of the Second Calvary Baptist Church, was witnessed by a large number of members and friends. The choir opened the program with one of their choice selections. Those taking part in the pastor's anniversary were: Mrs. Ella Jones, representing the Usher Board of ladies; Miss Emma Hawks, representing the Junior B. Y. P. U.; Mrs. Mariah Cook, representing the

Miss Pearl Smith captivated the audience with her oratorical speech. All participants deserve credit for their eloquence speeches. Mrs. Bailey in her speech told Rev. Madison had done greater work in the past six years than any other minister in entire United States of America, having an accession of over 1,300 members and raising over $93,000.00 during his pastorate.
Dr. Galvin, of Newport News, was master of ceremonies. Dr. Graham, of Philadelphia, was present, and at intervals would command the speaker. Mrs. Galvin in brief gave encouragement. Mr. Galvin left for home feeling happy. The choir was highly congratulated for their excellent music.
THE VIRGINIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION
THE VIRGINIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION
Richmond, Virginia, March 3, 1921.
To the Churches Comprising the Virginia Missionary Baptist Convention and to Those Scattered Abroad Throughout the Various States, Sharing Common Interest in the Great Work which Our Lord has Laid Upon Us—Greetings:
Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father abound upon you. I of the great work laid upon you and the success which has come to that work in your hands. With the sweat and blood of your toil, He has mingled the dewdrops of Heaven and in your trail He has multiplied blessings. I thank God with you for the great delegation that met us in Stanton last May, for the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon that session, and for the large offering the many Churches sent up for the building of our Masters' Kingdom.
By the Grace of God, we shall meet this year in our Fifty-fourth Annual Session with the Liberty Baptist church, Washington, D. C, Rev, Holland Powell, D. D, pastor. At 8:00 P. M. Tuesday, May, 10th, will be a great memorial conference in honor of three valiant men who have gone to their God. The late President Gregory Willis Hayes, A. M., R. H. Bowling, LL. D. and W. Bishop Johnson, LL. D. will be eulogized.
While the Convention will not open until 9:00 A. M. Wednesday, we greatly desire the deligation to be present to honor the memory of these great benefactors Tuesday night. Let every church be represented. If you cannot possibly send a delegate, send letter and money to the President or Corresponding Secretary.
Brethern, our one hundred thousand dollar Administration Hall on our school grounds in Lynchburg is going up in a most pleasing way. By the time we meet in Washington, no doubt it will be well nigh enclosed. It is the finest building to the credit of the race in the State of Virginia, and shall stand there as a monument to the love and labors of Colored Baptist of this generation amid generations to come even after we, who now mingle our hands in the toil shall have gone to be with Jesus. Our great President R. C. Woods, A. M., is doing the work in a way that make our hearts leap for joy. He is a genius on the job; let us put up the money.
Our Foreign Mission Program is a unique one, but a few years hence, it will be adopted by many States. Our plan is to open a Virginia Baptist Mission Station in Africa, building there a great school, training men for the ministry and other professions and trades. We hope to begin work in the next convention year. We are expecting you to send up sufficient money for Foreign Missions to the coming session to enable us to launch a creditable foreign mission drive on Africa territory. Let all of the Churches, Associations and local Conventions holding foreign mission money in your treasures send it up to Washington. We will see that it goes to Africa and that you have an account of the same.
We are asking every Baptist of the race, and all others who are interested in the great program herein stated, to give at least One Dollar each towards financing the same. This is a great denominational rally for a larger amount than any organization of the race in this section has attempted to raise at any one sitting; but the work demands it; God's cause is calling for it. We are the sponsors and it must be forthcoming.
The President has issued fifty thousand One Dollar Certificates, carring the cut of the new building, with those of the President of the Seminary and the President of the Convention. Let every member and friend purchase one or more as souvenirs. If you haven't one of these certificates, apply to your District Superintendent. If he can not supply you, write your President. These are intended to help each Church raise its One Dollar per member for Education and Missions to be reported at our next Convention.
Brethern, pray for the next session of our Convention. Strive to raise and send, up One Dollar for each member on your roll. Let the delegates come
prepared to stay through the Convention.
Brethern, Take Special Notice!!
Since our Secretary's letters have been,mailed and my letter printed, the place of meeting has been changed. Instead of meeting in the Liberty Baptist Church as our letters stated, Dr. Holland Powell has arranged for us to meet in the great Vermont Avenue church, Dr. J. E. Willis, pastor, because of the need of a large auditorium to accommodate the great delegation expected.
On reaching the Union Station in Washington, take car, marked 14th St., get off at 14th and R Sts., walk east 2 blocks to 12th and R Sts., church around corner—two doors, south.
Yours for the Fifty Thousand Dollars for our Master's Kingdom at the coming session.

300 yards and made him leave the car where he beat him over the head with a pistol and a stick. The bleeding Negro was forced into the car again and made to lie down. He was carried ten miles, the Sheriff kicked him in the body and head. One eye was virtually knocked out. Then the Sheriff made him get out. He was beaten again on his naked body.
"The Sheriff stopped to cut another stick when one of his companions advised the Negro to run if he wished to live. This he did, hiding in the woods until later a passerby carried him into town. The Sheriff was indicted for assault, with intent to murder. He was acquitted. The Negro beaten has the reputation of being a peaceable, lawabiding, hard working man. He was threatened with death if he testified against the Sheriff."

Announces the Opening
of His Offices at
ATTUCKS THEATRE BUILDING
Suite 211 — 1008 Church Street
For the Exclusive Use of Colored Patients
Due to the congestion of the city offices of Drs. Bybee and Bybee, it has been impossible, even as much as it was regretted, to care for the large number of patients who wanted relief from sickness. But with the opening of the office by Dr. R. V. Bybee for colored people only, you may now receive the same exacting treatments that have made our methods of Chiropractic so successful. What Chiropractic has done for the sick seems like a tale of miracles. No drugs or medicines are used—operations not necessary. Only science and the hand, tracing decease to the source and removing the cause makes you well in spite of any other methods that may have failed.

The town is backed by one of the richest counties in North Carolina.
"The physician can secure an ideal office in the center of the business street in a building owned by a col- lor, and the doctor will have all the moral and financial support necessary to place him right on his feet."

"The, Spenders." Benjamin B. Hampton's photography of Harry Leon Wilson's famous novel released by the W. W. Hodkinson Correspondents Attacks Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday, it is a masterpiece, both as a photoplay primarily, and as a novel on the silversheet, both as a characterization and setting, it carries to the screen the well-known Harry Leon Wilson humor unique and unexcelled. The prominent roles are interpreted by cast, Joseph J. Dawling takes the role of "Uncle Peter Bines," a character said to surpass the masterpieces of Sol Smith Ruseell and W. W. Hodkinson. Robert McKim plays "Rolon Shepherd" with
usual power and virility. Beautiful young Cline Adams, who has recently become a champion at St. Augustine star after smashing success in previews, will be the ducer and Goldwyn, denominate once more that she is a coming gentle of the silverheart in her work as "Avice Millye." "Millye Welch is the ideal romantic hero as 'Percival Blines.' A love story, which is full of fun and excitement is played by Betty Brice as "Payee Bline." Her character burns. Both characterizations are supreme bits of art which occasionally ascend to grip the heartstrings and win team as well as laughs. Adela Farrington gives one of her splendid characterizations as "Ma Blaine." Her character burns in the triumph and Otto Lederer is splendid in the tribulation as "Abe Trumpel," the shyster lawyer.
The brilliance of Jack Conway's direction reflects in the handling of the huge eat in "The Spenders." The humor in Mr. Wilson's work, unlike in tyne, is of a sort difficult to handle, but it is through the splendid interpretation that this masterly players as it did on the printed page.
DARKTOWN SCANDALS PACK 'EM AT THE ATTUCKS
Quintard Miller's Show Makes One of the Biggest Hits of the Season. B. B. Joyner and Theresa Brooks Come In for Leading Honors
Quintard Miller's Darkness Scandals of 2014 opened at the Attucks Monday night. May 14, 2014, with the three audience that filled the house.
The show opened with a novelty singing number never presupposed before in this season, "In the Singing the opening number, 'In Everybody Body,'" by Ms. Lulu Whidby, white marching through the aisles of the auditorium finishing up in one of the boxes.
The central scene of the show is laid in the lobby of a Western hotel, where Miss Theresa Brooks as the hotel proprietor, Mr. B. Joyner, as a porter, and Mr. Johnnie Titusson as also a porter, do some very clever sometimes.
The costumes worn by Brooks are the prettiest and most varied in style seen on the stage of the Attucks. We venture to say the studies of Norfolk who saw these costumes have gained some new ideas along line.
the second act, during the singing of "Beautiful Fires," led by Miss Brooks, a number of the chorus appenents each wrenning a different instrument variety to beautiful models. Miss Lula Whildby by Miss Theorem Brooks, Miss Jany Jay are the Joyner and Mr. Johnny Hurgins are the Joyner and Mr. Johnny Hurgins and their work throughout was of a very light feel. The chorus girls as a whole are the prettiest aon on the stage of the Attucks, and the singing above the average. Mr. Miller is the lead of the selected selection of such a beautiful act of size that "Darktown Scandals of 1921," he has really put together one of the best shows on the tour.
Special mention should be made of the jaxs orchestra selected by the management for this special occasion.
"Elks Revue and Vaudeville" Big Success
(By W. K. Fortman)
The Eike Braue and Vaudeville staged at the Attucks Thirty of last week was declared to be one of the best production ever staged in the city of Norfolk by local talent. Included in its nautical practically everything known to the historian, from high-tech rantime, jazz and comedy to the most glamorous of grand opera at the climax that has been seldom excelled in the annals of Norfolk playhouses.
The play was presented by Greater Norfolk Lodge No. 132, L. R. P, Q. E. W. under the personal direction to D. S. W. Coppin, chairman of the committee in charge. The play was exceptionally well staged and the play was especially such pleasing abomination of nep and vivacity that it came into the hearts of the medium sized theater that created it, from the very beginning.
Mallion Hinton, while lamenting the inaction of his working partner, Charlie Perry, that he was the better friend to have concluded that he was the better friend to have Perry and Hinton team and proceeded to take on a good attitude jockeys interpersing a song and dance net that closed with a smash and bang and left the audience enforcing his return. Van Huren, Jr., although suffering the hardest of his night, harsensely fully sustained his subroutine by boy entertainer. Perhaps the biggest, well as the most pleasing surprise of the evening was Attorney W. E. Hodgson, for while nearly known by his friends and acquaintances he possesses an excellent voice for singing, few of them ever dreamed of him as a monologist and humorist, all of which he proved to be.
David & Co.'s Fun Factory, a court scene with judge, simply bags the L. Davis as the witness, simply bags the description it was really "funnier than nonsense," Davis performed like a veteran, being inductively a natural comedian and author of his own work, much in home. Mr. Hodges as attorney for the case in the case tried before "his honey" showed that he could be as much of a "play lawyer" as he was one. Mr. C. B. Reid as court officer inducted him to the scene with his own play in the Court. Miss Bernice Vaughn was very professional as speed fiend and shop officer inducted him to the scene with his own play in the Court. Miss Mary E. Goodman, who has been suited by a street corner "ho-vamp" was a most excellent fitness for the prosecution role of the he vamp. Robinson, who played the role of the he vamp, performed apted lines most effectively. Mr. Johnson, a mock neck who had assaulted Mr. (Miss) C. J. Booth, Jr., played his part with accuracy and skill. Robinson was a most laughable mollycoddle. Attorneys at the court who had violated the court ordinance by selling "da cannon" without proper license facetiously won himself addition to the rock pile by a most excellent rendition of the antelope at the hat." In Italian-American dialect.
Patterson, Robinson and Sykes were an aseam from start to finish and won encores after a teammate at Patterson's singing was good, but his execution was too showed an artistic skill and a developed finish would stand the test of the most profound crickie. Mr. W. C. Robinson, who "got out of" Patterson's by finding a job as singer in Mr. Patterson's reputation, had his enviable reputation of Norfolk's Miss Dainy Sykes, who composed the third part of this trbo was all that could be asked for and then some. She has remarkable voice of her well-trained, evenly balanced voice and expression and interpretation were truly sublime. She responded to several encores.
Mr. James Coppage, Norfolk's well-known
heater both by his gatsing and manning.
The U. P. Trail
"The U. P. Trail," a Hodkinson release, which is coming to the Attucks Theatre Frie
lection, is the latest photoplay
production of Benjamin R. B. Hodkinson,
pioneer maker of pictures from great novels.
This, the photoplay version of Zane Grey's
most powerful romance, is admitted to be the
first of his production. The success
of his first production, "Desert Gold," from the novels of Stewart
Edward White and Zane Grey respectively,
both released beneath the Hodkinson banner,
the wave of ninety-one novel productions.
Mr. Ampton was the pioneer of this type
of production and his latest drama proves that
he remains unique in his ability to produce
the underlying motive, the balance of
powerful sweep of great novels. He followed
his initial productions with Emerson Hough's
The Sagebruiner." Zane Grey's "Riders of
the Cave" and Churchill's "The Dwelling
Place of God" come together.
"The U. P. Trail," the most powerful and
vivid, the greatest triumph of them all.
Of course a court scene with a Helsinki Judge slitting could not close without depleting said judge and his right hand man dividing a wound that had accrued from excessive and sustained pain too much of prince cannot be given Dr. Coupé, Coupé produced the production and those whose pleasure it was to see it are loud in their claim of him as the impresario of the hour.

In Thursday's game Chappie Johnson's youngsters made the Bacharachs use three pitchers to win.
"String Bean" Williams started for the New Yorkers, but the former stars soon found his delivery and chased him from the mound, McDonald taking his place; but he only lasted one minute, hitting the first two men to join him and Capt. Marcelie called on Wendell to stop the onslaught of Norfolk. He held them runless the rest of the way. Pierce for Norfolk pitched a stady game and his support not wabbed in the sixth inning might have won his game. The batting of Petus featured the game, he poling one for the circuit and sending two men home aided of him. It was a good game from the rookers' standpoint.

FRIDAY
A fair sized crowd of fans braved the chilly winds to witness the third and last game between the Bacharachs and Norfolk on last Friday. Chappie sent Lee in to try and hold the hard-hitting crowd from New York, but they jumped him right at the start, and it seemed that Norfolk was doomed to go runless. "Iron Man" McDonald started for the Bacharachs and did fairly well for three innings, but in the fourth stanza, with one gone, Räggs poled one over the right field wall for four sacks, and started a batting rally that netted the young-age pitcher in this inning after Smith and Lewis hit Churchill met the apple square on the nose and put one behind the score board, sending both runners across the plate ahead of him. It was curtains for "Me", Williams relieving him and succeeded in checking the rally. From then on the Tidewater boys seemed to have lost heart and the game became a hippodrom, the Bacharachs scoring at will.

Troll' at the top of 'Mr. Hampton's' list of
players among the few great photoplays
of all the time.
A brilliant motion picture director, Jack Cowray, handling a cast of distinguished screen characters are seen in the most powerful character: flaunted by their aid expressed the producers' interpretation of the great elements of the Zane Remarkable work is done by Robert McKinley Williams, Marquette Lea Do Motte, Joseph I. Dovell, Frederick Stark, Virginia Caldwell, C. B. Burphy, George Berrall and Walter Perry, George Ayley in each case enhanced the human appeal of the story characters and at the same time greatly added to their own screen reputations.
The handling of the production is especially remarkable in that it has been developed into a breathless action, but in not only crowded with breathless action, but in the overwhelming human; which has the colorful appeal of most romantic time, place, and period in the history of America and yet is of pill place, all time, all periods. A work that has, in short, the ancient Romans and the Barbarians who drove Rome would have enjoyed "The U. P. could they have seen it, as greatly as the laborer of today. Language will be no substitution of French titles will make it as the blase Parisian as to the "tired business man" in New York or the busy school girl in Italy. It is true Romance, and true romance is universal:
It is true Romance, and true romance is universal:
The showing made by Chappio's Colts against such an aggregation as owner Conner has gotten together, was indeed creditable. To make the veterans exert themselves to win was in itself no mean attempt.
In the first game but for his support weakening, Winters would have held them runless.
The second game with Pierce on the mound was good in spots, and shows that Noll has a good team, and all they need is stronger fighting spirit. If Chappio can instill in them more fight and vim when the team is behind he will have the best team in this section.
Lee, the new pitcher secured last week, has the ear marks of a valuable man, but he must learn to watch the bases more closely, for he allowed two men to steal home on him Friday.
Lewis was the bright star in Friday's game. His fielding and throwing was the outstanding feature.
Little Stars Walk Away With Victory
The Little Stars have again hit the 'Star Park Cubs for a victory to the tune of 4 to 3. The game was an exceptionally brilliant one featured by the work of Robinson, first base: Mann, 2nd base: Proctor, 3rd base, and Cap. Batteries: Shirt Bob, Creshman, Brown and Smith; Little Stars: Hardy, Austin and Warren. Umpire: Mann.
