NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921 M SEЛИЕ TAKEMEASURE OF POLITICAL ACHIEVEMENT Surprising Developments To Come Next Few Weeks. Discontent Over House Leadership May Precipitate Trouble. TINKHAM CAUCUS A SUCCESS (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 1.—With the Harding Administration approaching the half year mark, the people throughout the country are beginning to take the measure" of achievements and to see whether the "big show" is living up to advanced publicity. In his campaign speeches, and even since his inauguration, Mr. Harding has himself sounded the terms of human rights on the highest plane. There have been some set backs to the expectations of the populace, but the people have not completely lost faith. The President has given assurance to those who have recently discussed matters with him, that he will keep the faith. Congressman Martin B. Madden, of the first district of Illinois in Chicago, has informed the "Associated Negro Press that the bill against lynching has been enforced by the judiciary committee of the house, and that the same will soon be done." The floor. It is Congressman Madden opinion that the bill will easily pass the House and Senate, and that the President will sign it. Congressman Tinkham continues to favor the consideration of measures to enforce the fifteenth amendments. Floor leader Mondell has done all in his power to block the consideration, but sentiment is growing in favor of looking into the many Congressmen sincerely wish the House to make a way out, but with 1922 election day there must be action. The problems coming out of the Race question are regarded by Congress as much hotter than those involving the Irish, Catholics, and anyone here about will tell you that these subjects cause great annoyance. The appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson as Recorder of Deeds has opened up a big new line of discussion. John Johnson has all along insisted that he is a position. However, it is understood Johnson Administration regarded Johnson as the "one best bet" to initiate the Administration policy to recognition, which for sometime was foundering about on until the folks back home let it be known that there should be something done. The next few weeks will without question bring some surprising developments. There are movements on in the country several parts of the country calculated in all high places sit up and take notice. The Harding Administration and the Republican National Committee are cognizant of the facts, the issue with a direct line of argument. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget, recently ordered all inactive files of every government department placed in storage to make new and useful records. The clerks in the office will serve will be dropped, along with some Negro messengers the general observed having a lark on government time this afternoon. There was evidence a short while ago that the House had decapitated by the discontent existing in the House of Representatives over the majority leadership. Thirty-six Republican members of the House participated in an "outlaw" caucus held in the House last night to consider the Tinkham legislation to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, giving votes to Negroes. The conference was held in opposition to the wishes of W. Worrell of Wyoming, majority leader and despite all his efforts to prevent it. The outlay conference elected temporary officers, excoriated Mr. Mondell and pledged itself to an organized and proper House Republican management of the House floor. The record one way or another in the matter of the Fourteenth Amendment. The tendency toward insurgency agreeed the party leadership was followed by the seventy-five Republicans in the House of what the "outlaws" did the night before. Representative, Tinkham, of Massachusetts, circulated a petition another party conference on the Fourteenth Amendment would have the meeting held. Fifty signatures were necessary to force the conference. He passed that number within an hour. He expects to have no less than 100 Republican names, all which he regards as endorsing his stand. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia the only colored member of the Republican National Committee, who has been nominated by President Harding to be recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. He is the first colored man to be appointed to such an important post by the president. With 100 Republican supporters, Mr. Tinkham in a hiveover for a conference, which Mr. Mondell has twice opposed, and the Minnesota and other delegates openly challenging the tariff policies of the Representative Forney, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the situation was not regarded with equanimity by persons interested in the welfare of the Harding Administration and the Republican party. There have been free discontent with the party leadership until now the champions of harmony have blocked every effort to have the party's soiled line washed in public, warfare between Messrs. Tinkham and Monroe and Messrs. weeks ago. The Bay State member obtained sixty-five signatures for a party caucus on the Fourteenth Street in Monroe, countered by having Representative Banana California, issue a call for a conference on congressional reapportionment. Accordingly Representative Tinkham, Iowa, chairman of the Republican caucus, to consider both subjects. Mr. Towner, who previously had ruled that repositionment was germane to enforcement of the Fourth Amendment, that repositionment was not germane to repositionment. There was a noisy demonstration against the ruling. Mr. Mondell tried to force an adjournment to the conference, but he was outvoted five times. He was then an agreement to adjourn to adjournment. Mondell sought to have Mr. Tinkham agree to abandon the conference. He was unsuccessful. It was charged that the majority leader then issued Republicans in the House be notified that the conference had been canceled. Orders were given the doorkeepers to close the chamber of the House. The question raised by Mr. Tinkham is being opposed by Republicans from border States, who declare that the vote for or against the Tinkham proposals would be to invite trouble. COLORED MEN BETTER PAID White Employees Walk Out of North Carolina Industrial Plant When Their Wages Were Not Raised. Places Filled By Colored Spencer—The firstsemblance of a strike to occur at Spencer for a long time turned up at the big plant of the Catawah Ice and Fuel Company, when a dozen white employees walked out today on account of some dismay. The company claimed that the colored men in the service received five cents more per hour than is paid the white employees. When asked about the matter the reasons of the company declared that all the men who worked with the strikers had been filled in less than an hour. In further explanation as to the difference in wages, it was stated that the colored men working on the industrial plant decidedly harder duties and that they therefore, paid more than the inside workmen. Most of the men who quit are said to have been employed in reeling peach, melon and vegetable traps stopped at Spencer for that purpose.

Burton Ceruti, the Los Angeles, California, Branch, the showing of the "Birth of a National Film had been stopped in that city, and in the State of California, and that W. H. Clune, owner of the film, had agreed to destroy it. The Los Angeles Times, of June 27, quotes City Prosecutor Widney Ceruti, "The city received a formal protest from E. Burton Ceruti, and after making a thorough investigation I was able to satisfy myself that the associated pictures producers had assured the Negroes that The Clansman" would run no longer in California if the Negroes would not support his leadership. A letter to the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, from Mr. Ceruti, says: Curtis, says: "At a conference called by the Mayor and the executive of State move picture organizers, the proprietor of the Garrick Theatre and Mr. Clune, the owner of the films, it was agreed and Mr. Clune undertook and promised to withdraw the *Clanaman* entirely from the theater to destroy the films. It was conceded by all present that the picture was unfit for the Negro and injurious to the public."

CONDEMNED Asian Review, Japanese Monthly, Says They Are An Indelible Stain On The Fair Name Of Champions of Democracy REFERRED TO ARK, BURNING New York.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, today announced that Japanese condemnation of the lynchings had been received in the city of a four column editorial in the American Review, May June number, published in Tokyo, Japan. "Americans vociferously claim to be the champions of justice and humanity," said the editor, "yet they do not hesitate to trample upon these very principles and preempt the foulest deed ever conceived." The crime referred to is the burning alive, at the stake, of Henry Lowry, Arkansas, on January 26, 1921. The matter quoted by the Asian Review was press publicity matter sent out to the foreign press of the world by the New York office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. "It is an indelible stain," the editorial continues, "on the name of America that in this enlightenment such crime would take place publicly and the offender go unpunished. It goes to demonstrate the utter callousness of hearts of the American public. Love is in place in the United States because the American is in favor of it. If this were not true, this foul crime would never have grown to its present preemption nor would any of the more than two hundred lynchings during the past thirty-two years have taken place." The editorial concludes by saying that creation of a strong public opinion throughout the world will be necessary "in order to bring sufficient American government to adopt effect." American government once so as to make it impossible for the American mob to remove these harbous excesses. 441 TEACHERS HEAR NEWBOLD State Supt. of Education Well Pleased With Record Being Made In Summer Schools.

XC AED DA haa eee Norfolk Journal and Guide Published Every Saturday The GUIDE PUBLISHING CO., Inc. 717-734-7400 NORFOLK, VIRGINIA Telephone 23199 SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1921 Pope says "Worth makes the man and want of it the fellow." We find this to be true of all races and conditions of men. All men may be created equal, but they don't grow up and do things equally nor in the same degree of effectiveness. There were many slaves who were born to the like misfortune and hardship as Frederick Douglass, but none of them grew up to be what he became. They may have had it in them but it did not come out. The same is true of Abraham Lincoln and white men. July 2, the JOURNAL AND GUIDE published a photograph and the story of how, "fifty years ago, Rev T. Monolon Gardiner was a wild Mohammedan of the Vey tribe, in Liberia, West Africa, undeterred, unicivilized, crude, and to our standards, rude," became a cultured gentleman and was recently consecrated a Suffragan Bishop for Liberia of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the consecration taking place in New York City. The simple recital of the facts reads like a romance out of the story books. What he accomplished in lifting himself up millions of native Africans are capable of and are being prepared by Christian missionary education and training to do. WHEN IS MAN PHYSICALLY AT HIS BEST? It has been very generally accepted that a person attains his highest mental preparedness after he is thirty years of age. When the decline sets in has not been ascertained, as some of the greatest mental triumphs have come when men were past the three-quarters of century mark, as in the case of William Ewart Gladstone, "the rising hope of the Tories," as Lord Macaulay styled him, and one of the greatest statesmen of the ages. Precocious geniuses are plentiful in the intellectual achievements of mankind, but the mature work of such has always ruled the world, and always will. The impulsiveness of youth and the meditation reflectivity of old age will always be governed by the time-honored maxim, "Old men for counsel; young men for war." We can never imagine young men doing the intellectual work of Moses and Aaron, Jesus and Paul, Socrates and Aristotle, Bacon and Shakespeare. In all athletics the young man always has the advantage of the old man. Especially is this true of Fistiana, as it has been brought out anew in the recent prize-fight, when the younger man outclassed the older man hopelessly. A journalistic philosopher discusses the matter as follows: lows: "Just why 27 should be man's physical turning point—the age when muscular disintegration sets in—has never been explained. The world’s greatest baseball players, jockeys, swimmers and track athletes recognize the fact in a slowing up difficult to describe. Some of them say the process involves a condition beyond the physical. The mental processes do not synchronize with the muscular faculties as perfectly as at an earlier period. For some in any form of athletic endevour he can be sympathetic and instant co-operation between the brain and the machinery of the body." It is very generally conceded that a healthy mind must needs have a healthy body, and this physical preparedness should be developed in the youth of the man. Physician training in the schools, and out-door sports of all sorts, make for this physical condition for mental growth to feed upon. Concededly, those who have the strongest physical development in their youth live longer and should do better intellectual work than those who have not got it. It is wise, therefore, to give the youngsters as much out-door life and physical exertion as they can stand for of their own volition. It will do them good service when they come to undertake their share of the world's thought and labor. ONE REASON FOR THE COLOR LINE IN THE PRIZE RING There has been a great deal of speculation about the interest in the recent prize fight between Jack Dempsey, the champion of America, and Georges Carpenter, the champion of Europe, in the heavyweight class, in Jersey City. The speculation all hinged on the interest which drew together 90,000 people of all grades of society, who paid some $1,600,000 to witness the exhibition, and the countless millions in America and Europe who followed the fight news, wherever they could get it, with feverish desire. Interest in the fight was really world-wide, but more absorbingly so with the Christian people of America and Europe and the Islands of the sea than with those of Asia and Africa who are not in touch with the thought and movements of modern times. Prize fights are entirely brutal and brutalizing exhibitions. -The only distinction between them and street brawls between two individuals is that prize fights are legalized and street brawls are not. Murder often results from both sorts of encounters. Interest in prize fights used to be restricted to men and women of leisure, who "go the pace," and the dwellers in the underworld whom the police keep a tag upon. It is not so now. The interest is manifested in the highest and lowest grades of society. Are Christian mankind becoming more brutal, unhuman and immoral? That is the question which the Jersey City prize fight, and the interest in it, provoked. As far as America is concerned, we think that the evidence on all sides indicates that they are becoming more brutal, unhuman and immoral in their thought and control. This view of the matter is borne out by the growing disposition among Christian people to draw the color line against people of African origin. It has shown itself pronouncedly among those nations that have the overlordship of large numbers of off-color people, especially the English speaking people, and shows itself most offensively in the policy of the Australians, which have no toleration whatever for off-color people. This was not true a quarter of a century ago. It was emphasized, however, during the sessions of the Peace Conference sessions in Paris, when Japan's plea for equality of rights and consideration of off-color peoples was denied. The fight pictures of the fights between Jim Jeffries at Reno and Jess Willard at Havanna were not allowed to be shown in the United States, and in the British possessions in the West Indies, Africa and India, because it would show that the black man was as good a physical fighting machine as the white man, and would, therefore, prejudice the black subjects against white rule. Soon after the Dempsey-Carpenter fight it was announced that Dempsey "would not take on any black fighter as it was thought best not to give the chance to lose the championship to the black race." Barring the fight pictures of mixed bouts would also have great weight with promoters to side-step such mixed bouts. It is only another indication that the black groups everywhere are stricly up against it and must fight their way out. We believe that they will do that. We are going to strive to do it to the last ditch, and we advise all the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to do it. OUR DECREASING INCREASE IN POPULATION The census showing for the last decade, which gives the Afro-American citizenship a decreasing increase of population, from 18 per cent in 1900 to 11.2 in 1910 and 6.5 in 1920, has caused all sorts of speculation and made a deep impression upon thoughtful members of the race. The following statement will help the readers of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to a better understanding of the situation that confronts us: The line between the North and South follows the northern boundaries of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas and Oklahoma. The West is that part of the country lying west of the eastern limits of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. Negro population, by sections: | Section | 1920 | 1910 | 1910-20 | 1900-10 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | South | 8,912,250 | 8,749,427 | 10 | 19 | | North | 1,722,674 | 1,627,674 | 43.5 | 43.5 | | West | 38,591 | 50,662 | 65.1 | 67.5 | | Total | 10,483,018 | 9,827,763 | 55 | 11.2 | The decline of quite one-half in the increase from 1910 to 1920 is startling to say the least; and when it is shown that the increase in the Southern States, where 85 per cent of the race resides, was only 1.9 per cent, the showing is all the more aggravating. The inference naturally is that the enumeration must be defective. It is reasonably certain that there is much truth in this view of the matter, as the enumerators in large Southern centers would be sure to make an incomplete visitation because of their disinclination to make the house to house visit in congested Afro-American districts, and because many of them would take the position that it would not matter much if there should not be an honest canvass of Afro-Americans. But, as the New York Evening Post says, this would not account wholly for the showing. Of course, our infant mortality is greater than it should be, and while much has been done to remedy this defect a great deal more remains to be done. It is also true that the bad sanitary conditions in which the larger part of the race has to live, not only in the large urban districts but in the rural districts as well, and the very general disregard of health conditions among adults, all affects more or less our vital statistics to our disadvantage. A splendid work is on foot in all directions to make for a better and healthier condition of living among the masses, and this movement cannot be encouraged too much by all of the members of the race, in which our physicians should, of course, take the lead. We should all get busy to find out the reasons for our apparent decline in population and seek to remedy it as far as we can. THE SHORT COTTON CROP The disastrous slump in the price of cotton in mid-winter last year, when cotton fell from 60 to 15 cents per pound. Leaving quite one-half of the 13,365,000 bales unsold, and entailing many bankruptcies, including that of Scott Bond, of Arkansas, the largest Afro-American cotton planter in the country, led to an organized demand for a reduction of acreage in cotton and a more diversified crop acreage, with increased interest in stock and poultry raising. The demand amounted to a crusade in the Mississippi Valley States, and with good reason, as the one-crop plan had demoralized every business interest by reason of the small demand and slump in prices. The New York Herald summarizes the outcome in the following statement of this year's cotton yield: "The cotton crop this year, according to the forecast of the Department of Agriculture, will be only 8,343,000 bales. This is smallest yield since 1895. The cotton crop to a reduction from 3704,030 to a planted to cotton last year to 28,519,100 acres this year, a fall of 28.4 per cent, and to the abandonment of planted acreage of about 3 per cent, caused by the increased use of fertilizer and the diminished use of fertilizer. Der any circumstances but those now existing a cotton crop of only 8,433,000 bales would be a world disaster. But the 13,365,000 bale cotton crop of last year is only 20 percent of the crop, and the diminished use will be reserve carryover of 6,000,000 bales to supplement the short harvest. The lesson of what farmers can do when they organize to cut down their output is to plant less significant simply because the less significant when a minimum of hardship would result from a short crop." The marvel is that the reduction of acreage devoted to cotton was not greater. Small farmers have learned that their only safety lies in raising their own food supplies, with plenty of garden truck and poultry, and they are likely to devote more of their acreage and energies to this line of farming than in former years. A farmer should always be sure of his food supply before considering a money crop, speculative at that, as a cotton crop always is. We think the experience of the past year has taught them that, and, if so, they have learned a very valuable and useful lesson. THE HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON APPOINTMENT The appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the National Committeeman for Georgia, to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, disproves the statement that proceeded from Washington with all of the earmarks of veracity, that President Harding had decided to make no appointments of Afro-Americans to positions which require confirmation by the Senate. We were not disposed to accept the statement, and were disposed to wait for the President to discredit it in the way that he has done it. It would have been more emphatic, however, if Mr. Johnson had been given a Presidential appointment to Georgia. Mr. Johnson is some sort of a political storm petrel. It was given out at Washington after March 4, that he was not a candidate for any Presidential favor, and preferred to fight it out in a campaign for legislation by Congress to remedy the suffrage and other wrongs suffered by the race. In this position he was assisted by Mr. Robert R. Church, of Tennessee, and Mr. Perry W. Howard, of Mississippi, who opened headquarters on Pennsylvania avenue, in Washington, and have them opened now. But something has gone wrong with the program. Mr. Howard was first appointed assistant attorney-general in the Department of Justice, and now Mr. Johnson has been appointed Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, with a veiled statement in the news dispatches that he received the position on consideration that he withdraw his opposition to the confirmation of Frank A. Linney, the rank Lilywhite stinker, to be United States District Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina. That leaves only Mr. Church to hold down the headquarters and fight for remedial legislation. As he is reputed to be a millionaire he may stand firm and move not. We shall see. LIFE'S SUM There's a pleasure in living and telling In doing whatever we can, Whatever our drift, if we only can lift And enlighten our fellowman.

Along the crowded city street, Rent by the sound of passing feet, His hair is long and thin and white His coat and trousers fit him tight. THE POPULAR PASTIME Dedicated to Georgia As usual the customers went in and out at "Foxes", As usual they lounged upon the barrels and the boxes, As usual they whitted sticks, as usual a cracker Requested his companion for a "chaw of his tobacco". They talked about the recent rains, about last winter's snow, About the spring elections and about the autumn show, When the conversation smouldered to a momentary lull, Some one made the observation that the times were awful dull; That the ladies had no pastime; that the children had no fun; To add to that, the hunting season hadn't yet begun, Not a thing was stirring, no amusement, fetch it all— No real entertainment since the lynching bee last fall. Twas then and there agreed that a committee should report A time and place agreeable to stage the stirring sport. The various sub-committees were appointed to their stations— To catch the "niggah", build the stage, and write the invitations. With usual expedition the arrangements were complete, And all was in condition for the company to meet. Every feature had been figured to the most minute details, To the purchase of the oil and to the piling of the rails. After keen anticipation the occasion had arrived In which glad participation not a one should be deprived. The shops were shut, the schools were closed, the populace set free— That old and young and big and little might be present at the "bee". The women brought their knitting and the children brought their toys And the various diversions that a holiday employs. While the various committees were arranging their affairs, The orchestra enlivened with the most delightful airs. When the wave of expectation had attained its highest reach, Amid the seething mass appeared a momentary breach. And the master of the ceremonies begged to be allowed Permission to address an explanation to the crowd. "Because of a misfortune," said he, "I am forced to state, That our entertainment will come off a little late. The sheriff claims that our committee hadn't verified a rape. So the subject we selected was permitted to escape." The speaker scarcely finished and attempted to retire, When a messenger announced they might prepare to light the fire. Like Abraham whose sacrifice the bumble bush concealed. Miraculously was their sable sacrifice revealed. The committee had the luck, to meet a stripling and his brother As they hurried into town to call a doctor to their mother; The unsuspecting victims they proceed at once to take, And haste in consternation to the terrifying stake. As the "prophets" with their sacrifice drew jubilantly near, The glad spectators made the hills vociferous with cheer, Speedily the clanking chains the helpless had entoil, As Elijah poured the water so the crackers poured the oil. With everything in readiness to start the conflagration, The "high priest" took the platform to extend the invitation For the ladies to come forward and secure their souvenirs, As the busy pincers scattered fingers, toes and teeth and ears. In the rough and tumble tussle to secure a precious token, Many ladies skinned their shims and quite a number got them broken. The cheering and the jeering and conglomerated noise Outrease the crying and the shrieking of the mutilated boys. The precremation souvenirs were speedily consumed, And the officers gave orders that the program be resumed. In accordance with custom, first the boys were duly hung, And then their swaying bodies filled with bullets as they swung. And then their writhing carcasses were fastened to the post And the fairest maid commissioned to set fire to the roast. Forthwith above the human torch the grusome fumes ascend, As with the furious roar of flames their dying voices blend. Unlike the ancient fire that consumed the alter stones, In modern sacrifice 'tis not designed to harm the bones. Above the teeth, above the toes, the fingers or the ears, The bongs are reckoned as the most important souvenirs. Many a pretty finger gets a blister in the pluck. For the least imperfect trophy brings the most enduring luck. As the cost of the equipment and the damage to the fence Had entailed upon the management considerable expense. The auditing committee gave the officers direction To ask the congregation for a liberal collection. In the voluntary offering they heartily assist. And the orderly assemblage is as orderly dismissed. —Anonymous. His hat and shoes and long cravat, Bespeak the one timed autocrat.

Brown May Not Hang (By The Associated Negro Press) Baltimore. Md., Julv—A possibility that Henry A. Brown, the colored man who was convicted of the murder of Harriet M. Kavanaugh of Buffalo, a nurse at the Naval Academy Hospital, will not be hanged, although待遇ed, is deduced from explanations by the office of Attorney General Daughters of Washington in giving reasons for the two reprieves granted to Brown by President Hardin. According to W. Frank Gibbs, assistant Attorney General, the testimony of several important witnesses is conflicting in essential details and raises a serious doubt to the Negro's guilt. Mr. Gibbs said the fate of Brown depended largely on the findings of James A. Finch, attorney charge of pardons of the department. Finch is now reviewing the testimony, and his decision probably will be delayed days. It is understood that Mr. Finch in a letter to Governor Ritchie, who asked that the decision be expedited, refuses to promise that he will not recommend another reprieve, and it is thought that, in view of the conflicting testimony and the fact that Brown was convicted largely on circumstantial evidence Mr. Finch may recommend executive clemency. Gibbs said there was no disposition to the part of the Department of Justice to show Brown any special consideration nor to railroad him to the gallows to satisfy public clamor.

The Joint Field Day event of the Sons of Portsmouth, S. & B. Association, was held at the Virginia League Park Monday, July 11th. A mammoth street parade by members of the two orders, led by the Excelsior brass and reed band of Norfolk, and the Metropolitan Band of Portsmouth, proceeded the opening of hostilities between the contesting parties. On account of the inclement weather the trach events were not the success they were otherwise been. The entertainment of Norfolk Auditorium on the same night, however, proved a redeeming feature and was enjoyed by all. The Executive Committee, composed of E. R. G. W. Millner and Grand Deputy W. W. Foreman, of Norfolk, Va., and E. R. W. T. Hall, of Portsmouth, Va., who are in charge of arrangements for the transportation of delegates and visitors from eastern North Carolina and Virginia. The General Lodge in Boston next month report the arrangements are coming in on every mail. Siring to go would do well to get in touch with some member of this committee at once. Local committees have been formed in New York and Philadelphia (the two stop-over points on the return trip) who have provided accommodations for the party and will meet the train and look after its every comfort, especially the ladies. The Past Officers Council of the Baltimore Unions held an interesting session Wednesday evening, July 13. Several new members were admitted to the council. PLYMOUTH, N. C. Rev.

Murdered By Negroes, Says Jury (Big the Associated Negro Press) Alexandria, La., July 15—George Lewis, who resided in the Hinston community, was persuaded last Sunday night, at about 9:30, while out in his field destroying ants, which; were depreating on his crop. He was fired upon by some unidentified person with a load of buckshot. The charge took effect in his left shoulder and the left side of his hip. The prison for the murder is shrunched mystery as the dead man had only been a resident of the community for a few months. He conducted a small store, and no one in the section knew anything of his past history. Acting Coroner, Ralph Kilpatrick, held an investigation and body and a verdict was rendered by the judge he came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of unknown Negroes. Meeting of National Association of Teachers (By The Associated Negro Press) Oklahoma City, Okla. - July—the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, will hold its eighteenth annual meeting here August 3-5.

Denounces Carpentier-Dempsey Fight (BP The Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., July—Discussing the Dempsey-Carpenter book in his morning sermon, last Sunday, Rev. Katherine Laughton, pastor of the fashionable Street Methodist church, and himself a retainer of the world war, suggested that Dempsey might atone in a measure at least for his alleged slackerism of war days by turning over the $300,000 which he made in twelve minutes, to a fund for the relief work of disabled soldiers. Mr. Laughton denounced both fighters as "human brutes," referring to Dempsey as a "half yellow America" Carpenter as a "ruffian" whose red-coated beard was his war record. He deployed the attendance of 5,000 women at the bout, thus presence "countenanced the degrading spectacle," and indicated the decay of our national ideals. 3 BABY SHOWS IN PITTSBURGH 3 BABY SHOWS IN PITTSBURGH Urban League Takes Step to Reduce Death Rate Among Colored Babies. Prominent Physicians and Nurses Give Lectures. Pittsburg, Pa., July 15—Over 368 Negro babies, two years and under, were the central point of interest in three Baby Shows in different sections of Pittsburg last week under the auspices of the Pittsburg Urban League. Over 1,100 people attended these shows and eighty prizes were distributed to successful entries. The prizes consisted of bank accounts, gold rings, pins, bracelets, high chairs, strollers, etc. Thirty-four colored and white doctors, and nurses gave lectures, demonstrations and examined the babies. There were exhibits of all kinds—moving pictures, literature, supplied by the United States Government, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and the local Health Bureau, all of which was for the purpose of directing the attention of the colored mothers of Pittsburg to better care of their children. When the Urban League discovered that the death rate of Negro babies in Pittsburgh was 176 per thousand last year, while the death rate for the babies of the city at large was 99 per thousand, the Urban League this problem home to the colored mothers by organizing groups of women in the East Liberty, North Side and Hill districts, where these successful baby shows were held. The results have been far-reaching. Hill districts are registering their babies in the various health centers and clinics in different parts of the city and following up closely many of the weaknesses of their babies which were found during these scientific examinations. A permanent health clinic is now being planned in a district largely occupied by colored people. This is but one phase of social service program of the Urban League as outlined by Mr. Clark, but the success he is having in this situation, a real and positive, social service. On the staff of social workers who devote their entire time are: Miss Margret B. Mann, Hume Economics; Miss Frances E. Addison, Room Registry and Stenographer; Miss Bernice Wilson, Stenographer and Bookkeeper, and many volunteer social workers to do a portion of their time to social services.

TUESDAY, AUGUST, 30 TO SEPTEMBER 4 The Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention will meet this year in Newark, N. J., upon the invitation of the Bethany Baptist church, Dr. E. E. Ricks, pastor. This convention is one of the most unique bodies of Baptists in this country in that at its meetings nothing is concerned other than foreign missions. This gathering of the Baptist mission concerned only in giving the Gospel to those who have it not and in going to Newark it will not deviate from its constitutional course. It will interest, no doubt, the public to know that this organization has given to foreign missions more than 80% of all moneys coming into its hands since its first session. The inhouse finance has been phenomenal, for at least the first session, which was the twenty-third, it raised in round numbers about forty thousand dollars. When it was organized it began work with one missionary and his wife. Today it has forty-one missionaries in its employment in foreign lands, including Haiti. When it was organized it operated only in the Congo African region; it is operating in Liberia, West Africa, Mozambique, Zululand, East and Central Africa, co-operating in South Africa, operating in South America and Haiti. The slogan for this year is for at least fifty thousand dollars at the Newark meeting. It is a challenge to Baptists everywhere as to missionary work. Will the challenge be accept-ible, so, report at Newark, for the harvest not only great, but also white with an omitted grain, yet the laborers here at home are few, when compared as to numbers and opportunities. The Lott Carey Convention is also an answer to prayer and a challenge to our churches here in America. The above quotation has been prayed too many times and the churches have thought that the labors were altogether too few, but today there are about forty applications upon the waiting list of our Convention for service in foreign lands. Many of these would be accepted and employed, but for the need, of increased offerings so pay them for service. What we let this condition exist? Let those who wish to help in the solution of every human problem join in with-us in seeding Gospel of Christ into the neglected portions of the world which alone can solve every question. Meet the Lott Carey Convention in Newark and study its method of work and spirit and help the work of the Kingdom on from conquest to conquest. 7-9-47 "PROMAR" The Aromatic Smoke 10c "Kemp's" 1025% CHURCH ST.

"Hampton Institute would be derelict in its duty," said Dr. James E. Gregg at the closing session of the ministers' Conference. "If it did not be derelict, the fact must teach and prescribing and prescribing are closely allied. The teacher should be the shepherd of souls; the preacher must think of his hearers as those whom he is to inspire." Dr. Gregg will visit Bryce's statement in *Molon* and that there was only one workable ocratic government one hundred years ago; namely the United States. Today China, Russia, Germany, Austria, and other countries are embarking on the moment of democracy. "Democracy is the moment of democracy."

Christianity and democracy are equated to abolish racial prejudice, enmity." Archdeacon James S. Barker, founder and principal of St. Paul School at Lawrenceville, Va., delivered four addresses—Work of the Church Ministry, "Family Life and the Church," Keeping of the Church," and "The Open Service."

Butt, pastor. opinion expressed by Dr. Ransom in his address on "The Teacher as Priest," delivered in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, before a union meeting of farmers, teachers, and ministers. Dr. Ransom referred to the need of equipping all children for American citizenship by the adequate financial support of public and prizefield schools and the response which the teachers from the front miles are making to the call for money which will be used for education. He stated that America cannot go forward as it should while any other country is ignorance. "The colored teachers should equip herself so as to supplement the teaching of history. Each teacher should specialize on the teaching of history so that the coming generation will hold up its head in the United States. Somebody must look out for the exceptional boy or girl and get behind him. The preacher and teacher must clap on answering the hitch calling of God." Hampton instructors gave for the benefit of ministers and farmers the hours for egg production, controlling poultry diseases, installing a simple water-supply system, and planning year-round vegetable gardens.

ISSUES CALL TO NATION Twelfth Annual Conference at Detroit Demands Square Deal for Negro. Decries Lynching and Mob Violence as Indefensible Crime The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today published the call to the Nation adopted by resolution at the final meeting of the twelfth annual conference in Detroit. The call was presented by Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio legislature and led as follows: CALL TO THE NATION "What is the cause of the new conflict of race in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks; it is increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites and this arises from the snapping of those human beings from the need that must exist between neighbors. If it is not educated; if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publically insulted by "Jim Crow" cars; if he is treated unjustly in the courts as in the twelve pending Arkansas peonage cases; if he in the army and navy disregard negro is grossly and continually discriminate against and faces plans for further discrimination in the national guard; if he has been the administration of the law especially as to labor, agriculture and education; and if finally the nation is being honeycombed by secret societies like the Ku Klux Klan, who stir up race hatred by innocence and appeal to the lowest brute instincts—if all these things are done, how can we help but recognize the human sympathy, the spirit of the Pride, the strong faith and the desire for humble effective co-operation which alone can save civilization? "Men and women of America, the program of, those who would save America from bitter racial hatred and conflict and murder is short and simple." 1. The right to vote under the same conditions as other persons vote. 2. A federal law against lynching and mob violence. 3. Justice for the convicted peons in Arkansas. "4. Equitable treatment for Negro soldiers and sailors "5. Abolition of the "Jim Crow" cars in inter-state traffic. "6. Free public schools for Negro children. "7. The appointment of an interracial commission, of high class, fair-minded men and women representing both races, to make a scientific survey of race relations. "8. The withdrawal of our military forces from Haiti and carefully pinned aid for Haiti and Liberia. "9. Our influence to secure justice for the natives of Africa particularly in the former German colonies. "10. A world-wide attempt to promote peace through inter-racial understanding and equality, and through a wider recognition of the basic identity of race and labor problems." Resolutions Passed At N. A. A. C. P. Detroit Conference The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, today made public the complete text of the resolutions submitted to the twelfth conference in Detroit by the resolutions committee and passed in open meetings. The committee was composed of Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio State legislature; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, George W. Gross, J. D. Moses, Shelby J. Davidson, James Weldon Johnson, George V.尤恩 and E. B. Henderson. The resolutions are as follows: "The Nation is for the Advancement of Colored People, an annual conference assembled calls the attention of the nation to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The cause of the riot was an alleged crime which never occurred. The Negroes were not the aggressors save in the sense that they fought to uphold law, prevent lynching, and protect their homes. We do not know what secret organizations may exist in Tulsa among whites or blacks, but we do know that our branches in Oklahoma stand with us for law and order and open legal effort to uplift the Negro. The mob we are glad to command did the civil action of the governor and the quick measure of local relief; we now legal action against the corrupt city government for civil damages in not protecting the law-abiding citizens against riot; and we urge that the NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE State demand the criminal prosecution of the riots. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People pledges its effort to secure, demerency for the convicted soldiers of the twenty-fourth Infantry now in the Leavenworth Prison, and calls the attention of the Executive arm of the government to the systematic circumstances which provoked their offenses. "As an Association subscribing fully to the principles of law enforcement, we hereby heartily and sincerely commend the activity of the Department of Justice in the investigation and prosecution of Peonage cases, and we urge upon Attorney-General Daugherty the necessity for com-mered energetic action to the end that slaves and involuntary servitude except as punishment for crime shall disappear forever from the Land of the Free." "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 397 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four States, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people, strongly endorses House Resolution No. 116, introduced by Congress. The group is asking for an investigation of disfranchisement. A free and honest ballot music democracy. And this country uses it to its traditions to stop it "rotten borough" system of the South. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 397 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four States, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people urges the Judiciary Committee of the States House of Representatives now in charge of the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill to expedite this bill and report is favorable to the House. "The colored people of the United States demand action and not reasons for delay. If this nation has not the power to stop lynching, it has not the power to exist. "The National Association believes that colored man should make every effort to that colored woman, register and vote at each election, and inversely, we urge colored women to induce colored men to respect and use their right of franchise. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon President Harding to invite the people of the world to join the United States in discussing and adopt methods for world disarmy." "The twelfth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to thank the officials and citizens of the city of Detroit for their hospitality; the trustees and pastor of the church; or the use of their excellent resources for Education for the use of the Central High School auditorium; and the Detroit branch for its thoughtful arrangements. The conference especially appreciates the aid which the colored papers of the country and the pastors of the pastors have given in making the conference so widely known, thus insuring so great a measure of success.

UM DROPKEY REMDY CO., Dept X-2 Atlanta, Georgia TWO BIG DRAMAS AT THE ATTUCKS FOR NEXT WEEK "The Convict's Daughter," and "The Branded Woman" Are Exceptional Attractions. One By Big Company Direct From Dunbar Theatre of Philadelphia Appreciative audiences saw the reproduction of "Cast Upon the World" by the Christapus Attucks players Monday and Tuesday of this week and from a dramatic standpoint the show was a success and reflected no little credit upon the local producing company. All Norfolk will want to see the new laFayette company which comes direct from the Dunbar Theatre of Philadelphia in "The Convict's Daughter" next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. "The Convict's Daughter" is another absorbing dream that will hold the audience bellow from the very beginnings of action. The strong all-star cast will include the popular players, Carter and Jackson, Mrs. Monons and others. Prior Hughes, Sinction for the last three weeks of next week will be three of the next week that never grows old with time. This play that has been seen drama that never grows old with time. This play that has been seen by almanac the theatre goer is one that he sees and makes a lasting impression the laFayette players will present it with Miss Ola Mae Taylor and Harry Platter in the title roles and it will be under the personal direction of Mr. "Babe" Townsend, the only colored dramatic director in the country he cast will also include the popular Miss Echeol Pope, Harrison Juckson, Walter Robinson and J. Hemming. A special matinee will be given Saturday at 2:30 p. m. All next week the overture by the orchestra will begin at 8:15 p. m. and as this course of the program is usually a must see the patrons of the house are invited to come early that they may get the full benefit of the entire performance. Dempsey's Next Fight (By The Associated Negro Press) Dempsey is a clever and a tough boxer, but he does not seem to be the equal of the Jack Johnson of ten years ago. He was too hard a knot to break, the knuckle, and although we sympathize with Carpenter, we feared for him. It is about time this Dempsey was running up against something real for a fight, and Harry Wills is our nominee. We believe that prize boxing is in a class with Roman gladiator combats and Spanish bull fights but we have them, they ought to be trained in, and all of reason. A man ought not to be able to call himself the champion boxer, or runner or jumper, unless he is willing to box or jump, with any other human being, of any color and from any quarter of the little old earth, from the South Sea Islands or from Baluba-land. And there are those among us, white and black, who will argue that Jack Dempsey as the champion boxer has shipped one or two of the best black men are itching for him. Even old Jack Johnson, just coming out of jail, would give Dempsey a better fight than any of the white boxes have yet given the champion. And while we always feared for Carpentier, we would have no fear whatever for Harry Wills. If the American people to spend millions of dollars for fisticuffs or to throw them to the mob they not demand the most for their and make this "champion" take on a challenger who can give them more than 10 minutes or so for their fifty dollars entrance fee? The only reason why we sympathize with Carpenter, aside from his apparently superior personal character, was the fact that if he should take the championship to France, French would compel him to defend his title by shining his first into any qualified boxers and not into any face merely. Jack Johnson could not have held the title, had he refused to fight white men. Art and sport at least ought to rise above our provincial American colorhobbin. We will have separate sermons, separate churches, and separate heavens if we can get them—but when it comes to the participation of these lessees, Henry Wills, Artists and Sportmen ought to show themselves superior to Christians. Mr. Walter Johnson of 731 Chapel Street left last week for New York City and other points. FINE BATHING AT LITTLE BAY Large Parties Attend Week- Night Dances. Picnics Becoming Numerous The weather is certainly hot and sultry and the most comforting diversion now-a-days is a dip in the cool briny waves. Little Bay Beach has been greatly improved as a bathing resort and hundreds of bathers are finding their way to Little Bay to comfort themselves in the cooling waters of the beach and meander among the beautiful shade trees that hide them from scorching rays of the sun. Little Bay is an unusual Beach in that it has these beautiful and flourishing shade trees. Automobile parties, party parties, hay riders, picnics and troley parties are now in flight. Escape at the beach every day and night. Escape been the week night dances when hundreds from the city have taken advantage of the opportunity to trip the fantastic to the strains of encantaring music and whipped by the cool ocean breezes at the beach. Jack Johnson Has Been Released From Prison Leavenworth, Kansas, July 9—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight pugilist champion, was released from Leavenworth Federal prison here shortly before 10 o'clock this morning after serving ten months of a year's sentence for violation of the Mann act. Johnson told newspaper men that he would go back into the ring soon and declared he would seek to wrest the championship from Jack Dempsey. "It doesn't make any difference what Dempsey says about drawing the color line, the public wants Dempsey whipped," the fighter said. "And, the public knows I am the one to do it." Referring to his battle in Cuba with Joe Willett when he lost the championship, Johnson said, "At that time I had to do what I did. When I dead and in the grave they'll see some smoke coming up out of the grave and it will be from my feet which are not yet from that fight." Roanoke Team Invades South Boston By J. C. Dugger Ronkeon, Va.—The Harrison Stars invaded the camp of the strong South Boston Giants on the 4th and 5th of the month. The game on the 4th was a large crowd of fans witnessed the game, kept their feet until darkness stopped the contest in the fourteenth inning with the score tied, 4-1. The Ronkeon boys errored at the wrong time, which caused the tie. Big Walter Johnson Eggleston held the hard hitting South Boston team we mostly hits.

PATTerson, Mgr. 1114 Church St. Phone 24053 NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE nesday and Wednesday William Pickens On Jack Johnson and Jack Dempsey It is interesting to note the difference in the public attitude toward these two American champions. One might think: Well, the attitude toward Jack Johnson was due to the fact that he was adjudged by a court as guilty of a crime. No, no; when Johnson first became champion, he had not been convicted or even pardoned of any crime when he whipped Jefferson at Reno, and at that time and until long after, he even even better repute them. Dempsey, inasmuch as Johnson's wife had never taken him before, the public. Johnson came full repute when he had won the championship and after he had defended every white man who had tried to regain it. But public opinion went down, away down on Johnson and the whole boxing business as soon as the Reno fight was over, and it was the backing of this public opinion which made it easier that Johnson wanted to set the trap which got him into trouble the law later; you might say that this state of public opinion inspired and insured that he would be entrapped, sooner or later. But let us see now the difference between these two "Jacks". It looked as if boxing was soon going to be held when Johnson became the United States, when Johnson became the Congress hurried to pass laws to hamper and hinder it. Now in the Dempsey regime, Cabinet officers visit the training quarters, and have their smiling photos made shaking the honorable sport AFTER battle on On the day before the battle they did not know whether to pass resolutions or not; but on the day after the battle, they were sure that it was the most degrading practice in all America, even lynching being over the Atlanta Constitution predicting that Jeffries would win, said "the greatest battle of the century" will take place at Reno tomorrow, and will settle the matter of the "superiority of the white race"; but on the day of the Atlanta paper, said: "it was a brute light and the biggest won." Congress and state legislatures reflected this public mind by various laws, some of them prohibiting the showing of the moving pictures of the Reno fight. If this attitude had not depended on the outcome of the fight, the picture people would have wanted, would have loved, would have spared the expense. But the barbidity and horribleness of the old sport did not dawn upon the great majority of the United States public until AFTER Jack Johnson's long black arms had done their skillful work. People who had no resolutions against the FIGHT, which was against the hating, had long, worry resolution, actually injuring the PICTURE, which was a mere shadow. Why? Because they knew who was going to win the fight, but after the fight they knew who would always win in that picture. Hence the resolutions by all the religions, civic and reform bodies, memorials to legislatures from the Tweedle-Dee Comman, the Irish Class, to the Tweedle-Dee Man's Big Class. All the preachers of the white churches and even some of the Colored preachers, instead of enjoying a good laugh, tried "to show up well", and denounced the sport. But since Dempsey has been running well, the time-honored sport is about to regain the standard which it had in the days of Troy and Greece in the 1960s. The boxer described in Virgil's 'Aid' son, hard leather-wrapped knuckles crashing thru flesh and bone and broke the jaws of his opponents. If men will exhibit such humorous shoulders, shouldn't we have our laugh at them? Just a friendly tip to those religious societies who would still like to see boxing up; SEE IF YOU CANNOT GET THE WINNER OF THE DEMPSY-CARPENTER BATTLE FIGHT HARRY WILLS, or almost either of the three or four big black knights who are hungry to meet the winner. The list of these can knock a bigger hole in the boxing business in thirty minutes than a thousand seminars in the next ten years. COLORED FARMERS OF VIRGINIA (Continued from page one) ing for better conditions in rural sections." At the closing meeting of the Conference the farmers explained to the ministers their serious problems and asked for hearty support in the campaign to more boys clubs, increased market prices and a boost of marketing farm crops.

Negro farmers and ministers in Virginia are facing their common problems with a more intelligent and sympathetic understanding of what each group can and must contribute. That education, organization, and religion are marching to the relief of American agriculture, which is now sorely besieged and in distress, was the opinion expressed by Dr. Butterfield, president of the American Country Life Association and the World Agriculture Society, in his address on A satisfying Country Life," which he delivered at a union meeting of farmers and students of Dr. Butterfield declared that the satisfying country life must be profitable, must be educational, must be co-operative, and must be Christain." Dr. Butterfield paid a tribute to General Armstrong, Doctor Frissell, Booker T. Washington, and Principal Moton, of Tuskegee. He also commended the colored leaders who are helping men and women to get a firm grasp of their serious problems. Dr. Butterfield said that supply problem is one of the greatest questions of the hour and must be answered by the tillers of the soil, who represent the largest proportion of laborers throughout the world. “There must be a better system of distribution for farm products,” declared Dr. Butterfield. “Men must face the question of distribution in the farm, because it is the farms that must be made to yield more of the products that can be consumed by farm families. Today the American farmer is producing goods, not only for himself, but also for great cities and countries overseas. Farming must enable men not only to make money, but it is a fallacy for men to say, ‘If you will show the farmers of this country how to make money, all of these other things will take care of themselves.’ My ideal of an American rural community is a group of families planning to discuss and thinking and living together in order to concern the common interests of all. “There must come the co-operation of all farmers, as well as the cooperation of city and country. The American farmer must, sooner or later, learn the lesson of international development but a part of the larger concern of the twentieth century, which is that of trying to attain a Christian democracy.” Dr. Gregg, who presided, introduced Dr. Butterfield as "an educational leader who is widely known as one of the foremost authorities in the United States and, indeed, in the world, upon many of the subjects which are receiving attention at Hampton." MILLIONS ARE WASTED That millions and 'millions of dollars are annually lost to the citizens of Virginia on account of the ravages of plant diseases was clearly shown to the members of the Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference by Dr. T. W. Turner of Howard University, who spoke on "Plant Diseases and the Reduction of Farm Profits." Dr. Turner stated that Virginia, for example, lost on the 1919 wheat crop 2,000,000 bushels, or 14½ per cent; rye, 35,000 bushels, or 4 per cent; wheat, 2,800,000 bushels, or 4 per cent; corn, 2,800,000 bushels, or 4 per cent; potatoes, 479,000 bushels, or 3 per cent; tomatoes, 19,000 tons, or 30 per cent; sweet potatoes, 2,000,000 bushels, or 31 per cent; cotton, 3,800 bushels, or 14 per cent; and apples, 4,000,000 bushels, or 31 per cent. SMITH-LEVR ACT PRAISED Speaking before a group of farmers, Dr. Butterfield commended John B. Pierce, special agent of the States Relations Service, and his co-workers, on the extension-work program which they have been developing in Virginia, which emphasizes the importance of having farmers improve their individual farms and at the same time in cooperation with their neighbors for community improvement. "Each farmer," said Dr. Butterfield, "has his own job, but he has much in common with other farmers. The Smith-Lever Act, which provides for extension service throughout the United States, is, in my judgment, the greatest piece of educational legislation that has ever been enacted by the United States. It is creative. It is for everybody. Through it the National governnet gives some money for the benefit of all our farmers."
