Would Correct Present Wrongs Washington. — A convention for Amity between the colored and the white races took place in Washington on May 19, 20, 21. The ideals of the Committee of representative women who have arranged this convention are expressed in the following statement which appeared on the program: "Half a century ago in America slavery was abolished. Now there has arisen need for an urgent effort. The present women require no army, for the field of action is the hearts of our citizens. The instrument to be used is kindness, the ammunition, understanding of all by all. The actor in this engagement for right is every inhabitant of these United States. "The great work we have to do and for which this convention is called is the establishment of amity between the white and colored people of our land. "When we have put our own house in order, then we may be trusted to carry the message of universal peace to all mankind." Among the speakers were men prominent in official life, and also Dr. Seward McCauley of Baltimore, N. Alfred Martin, President Ehfical Culture Society of New York; Mr. C. Lee Cook, of Louisville, and the eminent scholar and philosopher, Jenabe Fazel Mezandrani of Persia. Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, member of the Board of Education of Washington, spoke on "Colored Poets and Their Poetry," and where the poetry has been put to music it was sung by trained racial voices. Other colored speakers were Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, who has charge of the music; Dr. A. L. Locke, a professor at Howard University, and Mr. Louis G. Gregory. A charming musical program was arranged for all the sessions which Pelham described as moral value. Mrs. Pelham described the color of the colored people, their spirituands and their modern compositions, and these were sung. As this Convention is different in its arrangement and scope from other Inter-racial Conventions, it made a strong appeal to the thinking people of the United States.

Gomez, care of Bankers' Fire Insurance Company, Durham, N. C. NORFOLK, VA., SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 H. L. JOHNSON WILL CONTROL PATRONAGE REFUTE CHARGES AGAINST COLORED WAR VETERANS Congressman Mudden Asks Congress to Include In Its Record-Data Assembled by Dr. Scott Washington, D. C.—Recently in the U. S. House of Representatives, Honorable Martin B. Mudden of Illinois spoke with particular reference to certain statements which have been made derogatory to the services of colored troops abroad. Mr. Mudden, through a sense of fair play, insisted that certain correspondence he had received from Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, Howard University, together with other letters and newspaper reports which clearly and definitely controverted the charges made by colored troops should be entered in the Congressional Record as an offset to the propaganda which has been under way for some months to discredit not only the record of colored American troops abroad but the record of French colonial troops in the occupied area as well. Dr. Scott assembled a Cognizable array of documents to controvert this German propaganda in America including a letter written by Ambassador Jussorand of the French Republic to Mr. Henry E. Baker of the Howell Park Citizens' Association, Washington, D. C., in which M. Jussorand states that the allegations constantly and persistently spread by German propaganda against one colored troops are absolutely unfounded; that their behavior does not justify in the least theirSOURCUS accusations freely lambasted against them in sheets here from Germany, ready printed and in enormous quantities, for distribution all over the country. The correspondence also contained clips from the New York Times and the Washington Post. Associated Press dispatches, and correspondence between Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri, and former Secretary of State Colby. "Under all the circumstances," Dr. Scott said in his letter to Congressman Madden, "it must be clearly evident that a grave injustice has been done these French colonial troops, who fought so bravely against the enemies during the world conflict. Their successes were then regarded at face value, and helped to save the precious jewels of liberty for all the world. They proved to be troops not afraid of Germany's best and most seasoned veterans. It seems particularly malignant under the circumstances not to have in the Congressional Record the above statements, which correct the very unfair, so use no more vigorous language—propaganda has been circulated against them in the country. Refer to the matter as a case of American, because proproganda reflections of the same character were quite generally circulated about colored American troops who served in France. The labels in that case were finally and effectively disposed of, as they have been in the case mentioned above." Congressman Madden has again won the approval of colored Americans in courageous action in combating prejudice against our colored troops. His remarks have been reprinted in pamphlet form and are being very widely distributed. White Youth Arrested; Shot Colored Man Rome, Ga., May 20.—The person who shot Ed Wright, a colored man, near DeSoto Park last Wednesday night, without apparent cause, is believed to be Allen Edwards, a whiteouth whose lawless acts have for a long time been a source of trouble to both the sheriff's offices.

Deacon Reid was well known throughout the county, not only as one of Nanseom County's most successful farmers, but as an honest, level headed business man and devout Christian gentleman. He had been a deacon of Zion Christian church for more than thirty years, and when duty called him his church never had chance to want for his presence, thought, support or energy. He was also a member of the Afro-American Christian Conference and many other conferences and conventions connected with the Christian Church and Sunday school, and whenever or wherever these conferences or conventions met, Deacon Reid was always there. For more than two years he was County Farm Demonstrator and his pleasing genial manner and business promptness had much to do with the success of the Tidewater Fair, which gave its annual exhibition in Suffolk, the farmer's conference the farm boy's association and other farm organizations of that county. Deacon Reid was withal a manly person who loved his church and his race and was devotedly loyal to them while his friends, who were many, loved and respected him. The funeral services were conducted from the Zion Christian church, at which he was a deacon, Tuesday, May 10th, at 12:30 noon, by the pastor, Rev. Mr. J. J. Paulk, of Norfolk, assisted by Dr. S. A. Howell, of Newport News. He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, three children, one adopted son, four sisters, two brothers and a host of relatives and friends. Interment was made at home. CARD OF THANKS We take this method of thanking our many friends for their nurturing acts of kindness and words of sympathy during the illness and death of our husband and father, Mr. J. T. Reid, who departed this life Sunday, May 8th. We also wish to thank the Nansemond Development Co., the Tidewater Fair Association and many others for their beautiful floral designs.

"Of the great number of students who enter Howard University every year, only about 35 per cent remain throughout their courses and graduate," stated Mr. J. Garland Wood, an under-graduate of the University, in an address before the Howard student body as a representative of the Second Annual "Go to High School Go to College" Movement, a nationwide educational campaign conducted by the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, May 19th to 15th. "The Class of 1920 entered with an enrolment of 218, and graduated with only 40; the class of 1921 entered with 239, and only 80 remain; and the class of 1922 entered with a record enrollment of 325, and now have barely 100," he continued. Mr. Wood made a strong and forceful appeal to the college students to continue their courses in college, and in an effort to stimulate a realization on the part of the present Freshman Class of the seriousness of this condition, presented to the University on behalf of the movement a scholarship of $50.00 to be awarded to a worthy member of the Freshman class. The second annual "Go to High School to College" movement was conducted in the District of Columbia, by Beta Chapter, of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, located at Howard University, under the direction of Mr. George L. Johnson, chairman of the Chapter's local movement. By permission of the Board of Education, members of the chapter visited each of the fifty-two colored schools of the District of Columbia, and in heart-to-heart, "big brother" talks pointed out the value of educational training and urged the 18,000 colored school children to continue in school. On Sunday, May 15th, the movement was conchaded when speakers appeared at the local churches and urged the public to encourage boys and girls to re- A On sale at all drug stores and first class beauty shops.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE MORE THAN FOR West Virginia Is Liberal In Appropriations for Support of State Institutions Which Aim to Make Better Citizens Charleston, W. N. Over a million dollars, or to be exact, $1,206,216.46 was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia legislature before its adjournment last week, for the creation and support during the next two fiscal years, beginning July 1st, next, of Negro agencies and institutions, educational, electrosynnary and corrective. Of this amount approximately one-third goes to the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, which receives for salaries, buildings, and current and other expenses $455,272.46. For the same purposes the Bluefield Colored Institute has placed to its credit $133,644, and Storer College, a private school, $6,000. The newly created institutions fared equally as well, the hospital for insane getting $150,000 for buildings and land and $30,000 for current general expenses. The industrial school for boys was allowed $150,000 for buildings and land, and a similar home for girls, $50,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of the Colored Orphans' Home, that institution is to receive for rebuilding $125,000, the tuberculosis sanitarium $12,500, and the deaf and blind school $30,000. Other appropriations were: bureau of Negro welfare and statistics, $12,200; supervisor of Negro Schools, $5,100; advisory council to the state board of education, $5,200. The state has already bought a 650 acre farm of rich bottom land as a site for the hospital for the insane, and negotiations are pending for a location for the deaf and blind school. The erection of buildings for both these establishments probably will be begun in the near future. Sites for the school for inexperirable boys and the home for wayward girls are to be selected by the advisory council, co-operating with the state board of control. When these are completed the state will have eight institutions for and under the management of Negroos. NECRO MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE ACTIVE There was little disposition on the part of any member of the Legislature to cut the Institute recommendations. Many of the white leaders main in school; to talk to parents in the interest of their children; to urge ministers, teachers, and leaders of all groups to talk education; to interest clubs to establish scholarships at reputable schools for worthy students. championed them. The two Negro members of the lower House, viz. Harry S. Caphari, of Keystone, W. Va. and T. G.

B. YOUNG.....President and Editor R. C. YOUNG.....Scy and Asst. Editor Entrated as second-class matter at the post office at Norfolk, Virginia SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 THE HAITIAN TROUBLE Just what is the truth about American intervention in the affairs of Haiti and the conduct of American Marines and the American Minister and Fiscal Agent in Haiti, appears to be difficult to determine. Grave charges were lodged against the Americans in Haiti during the life of the Wilson Administration and Secretary of the Navy Desmond ordered an investigation to which the Americans, and especially the Marines, were given a clean bill of health. Mr. James Welch, a former secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Civil People went to Haiti and made personal representation of the conflict of Americans in Haiti. His report was unwillingly read immediately. A Commission of the State of the Haitian People, born in the country for some time with the hope of settling their side of the trouble before the Harding Administration. Secretary Henry of the Navy Department, who recently visited Haiti, characterizes the charges against the American authorities in Haiti as "red," declaring that the conduct of the American Marines has been a credit to the corps, and that he believes it necessary for the American authorities to remain in Haiti. Secretary Denby, a Rebublican, agrees substantially with Secretary Daniels, a Democrat, that there is nothing wrong in the American occupation and conduct in Haiti. In this state of the case what are we to believe? We are of the opinion that where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. Congress should authorize a Commission made up of experts to go to Haiti and investigate the whole question, with the added question of the right, policy and expediency of American control of the affairs of Haiti. ALL WAGE-EARNERS LOOK ALIKE TO THE SECRETARY OF LABOR There are so many people in the United States who look at every question relating to our many new groups, and especially when looking at the Afro-American group, who measure the question in the intellectual wrong of it by the race or sex of the person involved, that it is a positive relief to find that Secretary Davis of the Department of Education believes and agrees that all wars earn its blood and must be treated alike or their needs we should have great pain. Secretary Weeks of the War and Secretary Denby of the Navy Departments could be got to guard the question in the same way, as far as Afro-American soldiers and sailors are concerned. Secretary Wallace made his statement of the question in announcing that the Bureau of Negro Economics in the Department of Labor had been abolished and the Bureau of Conciliation, with a Commissioner in charge of it, had been substituted. Mr. Phil H. Brown, a very capable journalist of the race has been made Commissioner of Conciliation. The Secretary says in further explanation: "The so-called Division of Negro Economics has been abolished by the Secretary of Labor largely because there is no such thing as segregating the 'economics' of Negro wage-carners from those of any other race. It is fundamentally un-American to create classes or to recognize classes. Our laws do not distinguish between white men and Negroes or any other class or classes. It is recognized that there is a race distinction and sometimes it is very convenient to have the assistance of a representative of a race in dealing with the members of that race. So far as labor matters are concerned the race distinction becomes more pronounced in the field of collective bargaining when troubles between employers and employees threaten. For that reason a member of the Negro race has been appointed a commissioner of conciliation, who has been detailed to serve wherever the Secretary may feel the need of race representation and to advise the Secretary." The Secretary says the change is working very satisfactorily. There is no problem the race has to reckon with more important than that of wage-earning. The race problem, as it is called, is almost entirely dominated by the economic questions of labor wage, housing and hours of labor. This is coming to be more so than formerly, especially in the South, where the large body of white wage earners have to compete with colored ones, and where the whites are making a determined effort to restrict the colored workers to the occupations of the lowest grade and the lowest wage and the worst housing and the worst hours of labor. It will readily be seen that the Bureau of Conciliation, as far as Afro-Americans are concerned, is one of the most important in the Federal Administration. We believe that its im portance will increase with time, as the Government is called upon to decide questions of labor and wage in which the interests of the two race groups are in controversy. GERMANY ACCEPTS THE HARD TERMS The next as well as the Nation that goes into an undertaking should enact the cost before doing so, as it has come down to us through the ages, that the loser must say the winner. In wars this cube holds in two ways; the loser is supposed to tand for his own losses as well as those of his competitor. It is a hard and fast rule, but, on the whole, it is about as just as a rule can be made. In 1870 Germany, when she had conquit France, assessed an indemnity which it was supposed would permanently cripple that Nation and make doubtful its future. Instead of complaining about it, and delaying payment of the assessment, the French pitched down to systematic industrial effort and found living soil in a few years, paid off the enormous obligation. The term is said that energy as the fuel of the war forced the French to work hard to combat the World War, in which it will be After James Liddell, the bank, sold the German share of the company, the contract, about the issue of the war, if it the Algeria, the new pays the wall pay, but she lance at the stubborn law only at the uncle of French taxes. She was forced to accept the terms, exacting and oppressive as they are. The separation demanded and agreed upon reponses $33,750,000,000, or in German money, 185,000,000,000, marks gold. William Cowper, the great poet and philosopher of Mystics, said long ago that "war is a game which, were their subjects wise, kings would not play at." But neither kings nor subjects appear to learn anything by experience, and rush into bloody and costly wars only to limp out of them, broken in man power and money values. Until individuals learn to submit their differences to the courts and accept a reasonable adjustment of them peaceably, Nations will never do it, for in all groups of persons the individual is the unit of power, which in the aggregation of units makes and unmakes for human happiness or woe. RACIAL RELATIONS Bishop Reese, of Gorgia, in his late Council address, spoke with emphasis of a matter of grave concern to the South. "The race question is too complicated and too serious to be disposed of by any off-hand judgment of ignorance and prejudice. It is not only the future of the Negro which is at stake, but the future of our own peace and security. For the violence and the domination by force of one race over another race cannot produce anything but loss and disaster to both races. It is not a question of white central. Of the loss of that I have no fears. It is a question of how we shall maintain it—whether by force or by just administration of law and by the inevitable working out of natural law. Every exhibition of threat breeds violence after its kind, and the end is destruction and a scarcely concealed anarchy. "I hereby protest most solemnly and earnestly against such methods. I protest against the misguided, if not criminal, folly of those who have disturbed the situation and created distrust and apprehension among the better negroes by organizing a secret society under a name which can only recall the lawless violence of those who perverted the purpose of the original society so named a generation ago. No patriotic or sensible man could for one moment consider if anything but folly to organize a Ku Klux Khan at this day. The name condemns it. It is not necessary. It can only be, at the lenst, a serious error. It cannot fail to be perverted, even if in its orgin not unlawful, to unlawful and dangerous purposes. "I think Christian people and good citizens should utter their minds and express their convictions about matters of grave significance to social well-being. I think the church should bear witness in such matters. It should condemn evil and evil customs. It should stand for law and order against secret or open violence. It should take its stand to protect the weak. And I believe that at this time of serious issues it should proclaim its moral judgment against wrong and injustice."—Southern Churchman. White Man Gets 25 Year Term For Killing Colored Janitor White Man Gets 25 Year Term For Killing Colored Janitor (Special to Journal & Guide) (Special to Journal & Globe) Nashville, N. C.—In the Nash County Superior court, Judge Calvert, last week, sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary, a white man, W. L. Jones, for the murder of Ned Thomas, the colored janitor of the jail here. Jones, an automobile thief, was the leader of a gang of prisoners who broke jail a few weeks ago. He murdered the janitor to effect his escape, but was soon captured and will now have to serve his term in the State prison. Business News of the Week Mr. C. C. Spalding, secretary-treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, and Mr. W. Gouzey, secretary and manager of the Bankers Fire Insurance Company, both of Durham, N. C., wore in the city several days on business. To a representative of this paper Mr. Spalding said that he viewed the present business outlook with optimism. His company, which enjoys the distinction of being "the largest Negro life insurance company in the world," has under construction a seven-story office building, which, when completed will be occupied on the first floor by the Mechanies and Farmers Bank of Durham, and the other six floors taken up entirely by the offices of the company, which has outgrown its present commodious quarters. When completed this building will be the finest Negro office building in the country. Companies are pushing to compartmentalize the new building of the Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company, at the corner of Camphin and Queen Street. The interior unfolding techniques being applied and the Metropolitan plans to move into its hand, some new home within the next few weeks. Now, if any building houses in the city will excel this structure in modern appointments and equipment. It is indeed a great credit to the owners, and is an ornament to the section of the city in which it is located. The Standard Life Insurance Company has issued a Year Book for 1921, which contains much interesting and useful data. But the most interesting thing the book contains is the outline of the origin and growth and the remarkable record made by this stalwart insurance company. Although Standard Life is only eight years old it operates in twelve States and the District of Columbia, has total assets of over a million dollars and twenty million dollars of insurance in force. Its growth in 1920 was the largest in any single year of its existence and indications are that this year's business will far exceed last year's. President Perry and associates are to be congratulated upon the time showing the Year Book makes. Mr. James E. Scott, formerly of Hampton, has been appointed executive secretary of the Negro Chamber of Commerce and received his commission Monday night at a luncheon held at the Chamber headquarters in the Community Center. This luncheon was attended by about seventy-five business men and was quite an enthusiastic affair. President Dickey acted as hostmaster and there were interesting booster talks by Rev. D. F. White, Mr. S. B. Noble, and Mr. J. S. Jones. Mr. Scott is spendly qualified for the work, having filled with credit many important positions of responsibility in both civil and military life. Various committees and clubs are now being organized. The Thrift Committee, led by Mr. J. S. Jones, is planning a drive to raise $5,000.00 to match the sum to be given by the city for health and recreation work. PROMOTERS GIVE SMOKER About thirty of the city's business men assembled in the auditorium of the Southern Aid Building on Queen street on Wednesday night of last week, where they enjoyed an elaborate smoker tendered by Messrs R. H. Tate, James G. Winstard, of the Big Four Coal Land Company of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Attorney R. McCants Andrews of the West Indies Cigar Company of Durham, N. C. The menu consisted of a number of the season's delicacies and cigars manufactured by Mr. Andrews' company, all of which were innumerably enjoyed by those present. The auditorium was tendered the promoters by Mr. S. B. Noble, president of the Union Commercial Bank, who acted as toastmaster and presented to the gathering the hosts, who made a profound impression upon their hearers. Messrs. Tate and Winstard told of the Big Four Coal Land Company, with its tract of 2020 acres of land in Webster county, West Virginia, underlaid with five separate seams of coal, containing millions of feet of saw lumber with good prospects of oil and gas, which they said was the biggest mining project ever attempted by colored men alone. The mines, they said, are now being prepared for operation and offer the best opportunity for investment ever extended the colored man. Mr. Andrews, in his witty and unassuming manner, told of the beginning and present status of the West Indies Cigar Company now operating in Durham, N. C., and of the advantages to be derived through the ownership of the stock of the company. The company is now manufacturing, he said, 2,000 cigars per day at a net profit of sixty per cent and the demand for the product has already increased beyond the facilities of the factory. Each address was entertaining, instructive and inspiring and those present felt that they had spent a most profitable evening with these progressive promoters. Florida Man Indicted on Charge of Peonage Pensacola, Fla., May 12.—J. J.

His trial is expected to begin immediately. The indictment charges that Pelham arrested and held in peonage two Afro-Americans, Dave Simon and Bob Robertson, from November 1, 1920, until March of this year.

Colored Men Raid Crap Game; Are Held For Grand Jury By Associated Neuro Press Newport News, Va., May 11.—Two of six colored men who, armed with pitols, swooped down and arrested a dozen white men shooting craps in the woods in Jefferson Park recently were held for the grand jury. One of the men among the armed force was a special county officer. The white men were arrested on a gambling charge, tried right there by the Negroes, convicted and fined. After each had given up all he hold he went free. All was well until local police detectives were advised. They arrested Gus Green, special officer, and Luther Fex, who claimed he had been "deputized" and charged them with highway robbery. $27980.63 TO EDUCA TION AND MISSION $27980.63 TO EDUCA TION AND MISSION (Continued from page one) burn, Blackstone, statistical secretary. The various boards were elected, also trustees to the Virginia Theological Seminary and college. The feature following the welcome addresses was the annual message of President T. J. King, D. D., which was freighted with information and inspiration. He is regarded as a safe leader for his people, and the Baptists of Virginia and the other territory covered by the convention look up to him as a spiritual father. Under his leadership the Baptists are doing more for their own work than any time in history. Every effort is to teach the doctrine of "Self Help." The heart and mind of every Baptist in Virginia is the school on the hill in Lynchburg. This was the work planted by the "fathers" to teach the sons the doctrine of self-help, a lesson which has been well learned. Most of the fathers have passed on and the sons have taken up the work prosecuting it. In his address, President King paid a tribute to President R. C. Woods, of his leadership in the educational work, and said that the race thanked God for the man. He paid a tribute to the heroes who had fallen asleep in Jesus, but erected a monument, giving work for the young men. In this number he spoke of Bowling, Hayes, Fox and others. Great things are being done by the Negro Baptists, who are going down in their pocket and showing to the world that the Negro can do for himself. During the fiscal year over $2,000 had been raised for the educational work, and several new building are being constructed now. The address contained so much information that it was ordered printed for distribution among the workers. The next session will be held in Danville, Va. Thursday afternoon was the educational session. Dr. A. A. Galvin, chairman of the trustee board, presided, and the principal address was delivered by President R. C. Woods, of the Virginia Theological Seminary and College. It was a wonderful address, full of good information and food for thought and reflection.

THAT "ATLANTA SPEECH" The Associated Negro Press representative discussed with the Vice-President his speech in Atlanta, which caused such a round of criticism and protest. It was pointed out that the colored people of the country generally had been greatly impressed with his stand for justice during the police strike in Boston, and were pleased with his fine patriotic expressions in the course of his speech of accem- Liberian President JOHN H. HARRIS B. A. B. C. D. 1111 Alphina, Pa., May 19. The primary commission to the United States from the republic of Liberia were the guests of the city of Philadelphia. The party included C. B. King, president of Liberia; Chief Justice Johnson, of the Supreme Court; and other high officials of the republic. They arrived at Broad Street station at noon, and were met by a number of prominent colored people of this city. Escorted by a guard of mounted police, they went directly to a hotel at Broad and Catherine street. The commission was welcomed to the city by Mayor Moore at a reception in the city hall. President King was presented to the Mayor by Bishop W. H. Heard, of this city. President King responded to Mayor Moore's address of welcome and expressed his pleasure at the cordial reception given him here. Following the reception, the President's party was escorted to Independence Hall, where the Liberty Bell was wreathed by them. A large crowd gathered and was addressed by the Mayor, President King and others of the party. At the close of the addresses, the Mayor proposed three cheers for the President of Liberia, who showed that he was acquainted with American customs by giving three cheers more for the Mayor of the city of Philadelphia. The cheers were given with a will. tuner; however, it was feared that his Southern visit, under the spell of Southern entertainment, had changed his viewpoint. Without hesitation, the Vice-President declared that his viewpoint had not been changed, and that he is just as anxious now as ever to be fair to all, and to see that all get a square deal. He regretted the protests of the Atlanta speech, but he did not offer an apology for it, he stated that the only wise course to pursue is for the people of both races who live in the South, to assume a friendly attitude toward each other. THE RECORD OF SOLDIERS "The record of the colored soldiers in the world war will ever remain a lasting monument to their unselfish patriotism, and will not be forgotten. There is nothing anywhere to excel it, and in the affairs of the country, they must be justly considered. It is remarkable that the records show that while certain wealthy whites were deeing from military service, I know of only one colored person who attempted to be a slacker, and I am not so sure about that." It seems to be the desire of Vice-President Coolidge to have justice administered by example rather than by precept. He seems to be of the opinion that one upstanding act of justice will go farther towards helping the cause of racial adjustment that many discourses. That Mr. Coolidge desires the good will of his fellow citizens everywhere, there seems to be no doubt. As a team-mate of President Harding, the Vice-President seems splendidly adopted. EPISCOPAL WORK IS PROGRESSING UNDER DELANEY (Continued from page one) Baptist church, under the leadership of their pastor, Rev. E. Wimberly, has started a drive to raise $1,000 to relinquish the debt on their church Notwithstanding the short distance between Durham and Raleigh, this writer had not visited the "Bull City" in five years, hence the reader can easily understand my great surprise on finding so many new buildings erected by colored people and the variety of business they are engaged in and seemingly doing well in the face of business depression all over the country. A talk with Mr. C. C. Spaulding, cashier of the Merchants and Farmers Bank, president of the Building and Loan Association, and manager of the largest Negro insurance company in the world, I soon learned why the colored people were making such big strides in business lines. Mr. Spaulding told the writer that the insurance company of which he is the business manager, is lending Negroes large sums of money to do business. He said, "Our Insurance company has already loaned out $147,843.49 to Negroes in the twelve States in which we operate insurance. Our building and loan association is growing by leaps and bounds. Our Bank has resources $300,300 with deposits, $255,000. Our business has outgrown our present quarters—hence we were forced to build what you see, a six-story steel fire-proof building to accommodate our need. We will occupy that building on or about September 1st." I visited the Warren and Strudwick two-story brick building. Four large stores on the first floor, and 12 office rooms on the second floor, and all occupied. This and the insurance company building are located in the heart of the city, within one block of the post office. I next visited Mr. F. moving picture business, also the K.

TENTER: LAURENCE WARRING, Clerk. W. H. Land, pn. By A. M. Brown, D. C. CARNIVAL PRINCIPAL HIGH SCHOOL EVENT LAST WEEK Chief among "the things of interest" to the younger set last week was a carnival and May festival held at the Booker T. Washington High School on Wednesday and Thursday nights. The purpose of the carnival was to raise funds in order that our school might be represented in the track meet held at Howard University on Saturday, May 14th. Despite the uncertain weather the attendance both nights far surpassed th expectation of the school authorities. An excellent program was rendered each night by the students and there was the usual eating of cones and cracking of peanuts which so help to make the successful carnival. The principal feature of the carnival was a popularity contest in which one member from each division of the high school classes was selected as queen from her division, with the understanding that the one receiving the highest number of votes should be crowned "Queen of May." Votes sold at 3 cents each. The number of votes received by each candidate was posted each day. All the devices of the modern politician were employed by chairmen of the campaign committees (selected from the classes)—some even refusing to post the actual number of votes held by their candidate, thereby carrying out the "dark horse" surprise on "election night." Not unlike all other polls, those for the election of the queen closed promptly at 6 o'clock. A pretty sight it was to see the "candidates for queen" followed by a "pagent of nations" march to the stage where the "election returns" were read. Miss Florence Byrd, the successful candidate and a member of the Freshman class, was crowned "queen of May," having received 1,695 votes; Miss Helena Smith came next with 1,516, while Miss Sallie Tucker had to her credit 1,350. The fourth in order was Miss Cecelia McLead, whose votes when totaled numbered 786. The period of soliciting votes extended over one week—May 12th being the last day. All of the candidates are deserving of great praise for their uniting efforts and excellent spirit exhibited throughout the contest. The queen was crowded wit her wreath of flowers and presented with a silver pencil.

Washington High School Athletics Make Impression at Howard University Track Meet Albion in the Athletic sent to represent the Booker T. Washington High School at Howard University track most last Saturday and comparatively little training it was the opinion of the great crowd present that the boys from Norfolk made an excellent showing and will have to be reckoned with in future track meets throughout the country. This was their first attempt to capture prizes at a big athletic event. That the athlete sent from Norfolk are susceptible of a development that will enable them to reach first-class form is proven by the face that one of the team was third in the hundred yard dash—10.3.5 seconds, while in the mile relay, Norfolk led over a quarter of distance by a wide margin. Mr. Oscar D. Brown, one of Howard's most popular students, gave the Norfolk boys a hearty reception upon their arrival and cordially entertained them during their stay. To the efforts of Miss Helen Lawrence, one of the faculty of Booker T. Washington H. S., is due largely the development of the athletic suitin shredluhdril shredl W. J.

The Portsmouth Eagles flew across the river on Saturday for a tussle with the Giants but had their wings clipped in the first inning and were at the mercy of Lee, the giant twirler, who was on the mound for Chappie's gang. Manager Davis started for Portsmouth, but after Norfolk had piled up eight runs, he gave way to Smith, who was effective enough to stop the scoring until the eighth inning, when Norfolk scored her last run. Portsmouth was unable to cross the rubber and suffered the application of a very nice coat of white wash.

SIMMONS OF KU KLUX HEADS NEW ORDER Is Now Commander of "Knights of Air Service." Organization Will Not Bar Colored Men, Says Major Landis By Associated Press Chicago, Ill., May 10. Colonel William J. Simmons, the high and mighty "imperial wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan, has been chosen head of the new fraternal organization recently formed by former officers of the United States Air Service. Colonel Simmons' transcendent abilities as an organizer is given as the first reason for his superlatively supreme success as the chief promoter and founder of the Ku Klux Klan sets him out as the one man in the country who possessed the high ability and spirit of Americanism deemed necessary to rejuvenate the rapidly decaying American Air Service. Chicago's interest in the matter of the new organization includes the selection of Major Reed Landis as its vice commander. "The Knights of the Air" is the cognomen that will carry whatever of fame that comes to this latest expression of Americanism to carry it down, or up for that matter, the corridors of time. Coupling this fact with the statement that the petition to Colonel Simmons begging his acceptance of the position of commander of the aviators' organization was discussed at an executive meeting of the supreme body of the Ku Klux Klan held in the city of Atlanta, Ga., before the tender was accepted by his highness, the imperial wizard, gave, what appear to be, a rather strange twist to the selection and acceptance of Major Reed Landis, who happens to be the son of Judge Kensaw Mountain Landis of this city, of the post of vice commander in "The Knights of the Air Service." A quick detail of either official or sympathetic relation with the Ku Klux Klan has been brought forward by the mea in this section who have given the "Air Service" movement their endorsement and cooperation. Major Landis, in response to a query of The Associated Negro Press declared that Colonel Simmons' selection as commander of the aviator's organization was determined by the knowledge of the wizard's superlative abilities as an organizer. "The Knights of the Air" has no connection, official or otherwise, with the Ku Klux Khan," declared Major Lundis in answer to the question of The Associated Negro Press representative. "Colonel Simmons was chosen as commander because of his splendid abilities as an organizer. Aviation has suffered a terrific slump in the United States since the close of the late war. Only two men out of one hundred who were in the war service are now to be found in its active engagement. This branch of the Army service must be strengthened. All Americans are eligible. Any Negro who shows aptitude in this direction will be cordially welcomed in our ranks. I will not have connection with any movement that does not stand for whole and complete Americanism. I have no brief for the Ku Klux Khan. Neither will I lend my support to any movement that counternances the proclaimed tenets of that organization." General Pershing, Major General Charles T. Menoher, Captain "Eddie" Rickenbacker, William C. Potter, chairman of the board of directors of the Guarantee Trust of New York; Burley J. Osborn, president of the Aero Club of Massachusetts, and Ma- jor C. Anderson Wright, president of among the membership of the the Aero Club of Texas, are numbered "Knights of the Air."

The right sort of clothes give satisfaction from the standpoint of quality and service. Points that do not so readily bag at the knees and coats that hold their shape and do not swag giving the wearer a "sloppy" appearance are the only kind to give the wearer satisfaction. SATISFACTORY CLOTHES are the kind of clothes produced in the Carter Store. Clothes that stand up and hold their shape until the wearer discards them. They are made of the proper fabric and expert workmanship is the prime factor in the making. They are cheaper because of these qualities and much more desirable than inferior clothes.
