Many Social Functions MOTON AGAIN ELECTED PRES. Atlanta, Ga., August 20—Preceded by extensive entertainment preparations on the part of citizens and the Local Negro Business League of Atlanta, the Twenty-second Annual Meeting of the Nat. Negro Bus. League held in Atlanta last week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday August 17-18 and 19, 1921, was characterized by harmony among the officers and mutual confidence and respect among the delegates who came in large numbers from all parts of the country to attend the Convention. While the North and East were not largely represented, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, and the Carolinas sent splendid delegations successful business men and women in the sessions, which held at all of the sessions, which were held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, except the Wednesday evening session which was held at the Auditorium, Armory. OPENING SESSION Y. M. C. A. ENTERTAINS OFFICERS At noon Wednesday, the officers and members of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League and a number of other important men were given a dinner by the Y. M.

R. Moton, President of the National Negro Business League, was the feature of the Wednesday evening session. Dr. Moton's address was well received by the large and enthusiastic audience present. After paying a tribute to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder of the League and the main source of its great inspiration, Dr. Moton congratulated the body on its progress under the leadership of President J. C. Napier and thanked the members for their loyalty since he has been the head of the organization. The face that even called attention to the face that even called attention to the large number of Negroes have moved to the North, about 85 per cent of the races population still lives in the South. This means the race's problem to a very great extent 'must be worked out' south of Mason and Dixons line. Continuing he spoke of the increase in Norfolk Journal and Guide property ownership; the increase in the number of business enterprises; the increased volume of business done by insurance companies and fraternal organizations falling special attention to the organization of four five insurance companies; the purchase of entire business blocks on good streets, and the determination on the part of business organizations, to bring together in a way sums of money sufficiently large to finance our own enterprises in such a way as to be profitable to them-selves as well as the corporation handling the finances. THE NECESSITY OF THRIFT Tidewater Bank and Trust Company Talks on Vital Subject. Individual Thrift Means Better Communities By Chas. M. Tucker. Mr. Edward A. Baker, Assistant Treasurer of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, thoroughly and appropriately brings the importance of the attention of the patrons of the Treasurer Bank and the public in general. Probably there is no subject which needs to be so forebearing brought home to us, since the "fat years," as Thrift, and Mr. Baker's far-sightedness in discussing the necessity of Thrift at this time, through his interest and knowledge in the banking business, also in learning which merits keen consideration. In speaking of Thrift at this time, Mr. Baker's discussions have deep significance in view of the fact that nearly all banking institutions, from the Treasurer of the United States and Wall Street Bankers, are preaching economy and Thrift. The Alexander Hamilton Institute Astor Place, New York, also sends out monthly financial statements in finance and Commerce to show them the monthly financial depressions. To further appreciate the importance for Thrift, coming from the Assistant Treasurer of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, we will agree that any professional or business man, who keeps mentally alert on affairs and conditions which perform well, is particularly his profession and business, as well the interest of his career and business at heart, but the interest and welfare of those whom he would serve. If a mechanic endeavored to address a body of experienced physicians on the subject of osteocarcinoma, he would make very little impression. Why? Purely because of the fact the physicians would feel a scientific discourse of that subject would be beyond his comprehension of medical knowledge. But, that same body of physicians would accept such a disease of its members and would conclusively believe when he told them that osteocarcinoma was a disease of the bone, a form of cancer, and the success he had met in treating it. And this same physician would, to a patient, prescribe the necessary medicine to combat any approaching symptoms of the disease. Therefore when we are informed of coming developments and situations by people who are interested in their particular line of work, the importance of such information greater. Baker's advice to save the limited business he has with the banking business and through his perception of the trend in financial developments has more than a modicum of significance. Another very interesting feature of Mr. Baker's talks on Thrift is seen in his telling us not only to save, but to WORK AND SAVE, SAVE AND WORK. Illustrating with "Mr. Doer" and "Mr. Dreamer"—the positive and negative man—Mr. Baker informs us that "Mr. Doer" is the man of action in accomplishment. Even though Mr. Dreamer has chosen to shape his dreams into realities, no matter how small or large—thru persistence and hard work, which are the corner stones of success. But "Mr. Dreamer" does nothing but dreamer. He does nothing himself therefore he can not accomplish anything. Peculiarly putting it, the man who makes "good" money and makes no effort to regularly save a portion of it is the "dreamer" of the future. But the man who practices dreamer, in an acquaintance sense in his expenditures during his best productive years—not conspicuously holding down either the spendrift or tightend—is the man who is the "doer," the adequate provider as he approaches and arrives at senility. And in his talk in the Norfolk Journal and Guide of August 13th, Mr. Baker has given us the best significant definition of Thrift. "The more you produce, the more you save, the more you live, the community in which you live." In this definition, Mr. Baker tells us that we not only bother ourselves by practicing Thrift, but the community in which we reside, which, in the last analysis of Thrift, is the most ostensible sign of the success of individuals. The Tidewater Bank and Trust Company, through its Assistant Treasurer, is indeed to one of the most paramount necessities which confront the community in which we live, thearies, drastic retrenchments of forces ultimately are the concern of Wall Street Bankers, Municipal Bankers as well as of individuals, Mr. Baker NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1921 President Tidewater Peninsular Association chooses well the time to bring to our attention the necessity of Thrift, especially in view of the approaching need of living necessities is, much heavier. "Work and Save. The more you produce, the more you save, the richer you are and the better off is the community in which you live." DR. REED TO AD- DRESS WOODMEN OF THE WORLD Meeting To Be Staged At Queen Street Baptist Church. An Appropriate Program To Be Rendered The local chapter of the Woodmen of the World, the largest race organization of its kind in America, representing more than twenty-nine states in the Union, will have its annual exercises at the Queen Street Baptist church, of which the Rev. Dr. F. W. Williams is pastor, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The annual sermon for the occasion will be preached by Rev. Dr. Daniel L. Reed, a lieutenant in the late world war, a scholar, noted evangelist and lecturer. Dr. Reed will speak from the subject, "By These Things Men Live," and will illustrate how the building of a race may be accomplished through co-operation. He is one of the most logical and forceful speakers of the race today and dwells principally upon those subjects that so vitally affect the social and economic condition of the race as well as upon the spiritual side. He has been in Tidewater only a few months, and during his stay here has won the admiration, love and respect of all the people with whom he has come in contact by his demonstration of his devotion to the cause of uplift of humanity. His whole soul is wrapped in the desire to educate, inspire and uplift his people and his addresses and sermons have had a telling effect upon the morale of the people in this section. His sermon Sunday afternoon will be of especial interest to all the people and those who miss hearing him will miss one of the best treats of a lifetime. Among the important features of the meeting will be an address by Mr. G. C. Grant, State supervisor for the Order, containing a report from the great Denver Woodmen convention. Miss Beulah Dodson will render a solo and Mr. D. D. Mattock, commander of Norfolk Post No. 2, will preside.

TIDEWATER PENINSULAR ASSOCIATION Holds Most Interesting Meeting In First Baptist Church, Lambert's Point, August 17th to 19th. PRES. ASHBY'S FINE ADDRESS The Tidewater Peninsular Baptist Association held its twenty-second annual session August 17-19 with the First Baptist Church, Lamberts Point, Rev. J. H. Ashby is Moderator of this association and Prof. R. Lee Briggs is corresponding secretary. An extremely interesting program was carried out at each of the three sessions during the three days that the association convened. The association was called to order by the Moderator, Wednesday morning at 9:30. Welcome addresses were delivered by Dr. W. A. Drake, M.D. R. Rev. E. T. Veal and Mrs. Sallie Church. At the afternoon session Rev. J. H. Ashby delivered his annual message. The address which was very inspiring follows: Brother Vice Moderator, Members of the Association, Corresponding Messengers, and Visitors. I count myself happy today, in that I am privileged to meet you in this your twenty-second annual session, and to submit to you my third annual report as your standard bearer. I wish first of all, to acknowledge my gratitude for divine guidance and second for your confidence expressed in selecting one so humble as I am to perform such a task. I wish also to acknowledge my appreciation for the united support you have given me in my efforts to carry on, and carry out the objects for which this association stands. The work this year has been done under these conditions. The path way has seemingly led downward, and with every successing step giving increasing weight to the burdens we have to bear. But things are, not always what they seem, for some times what seems to be downward is upward, and what appears to be against us may prove to be for us. Our principal efforts have been made through private conferences, personal visits, and correspondence. In some cases you have been responsive, in others our pleas have proven to be dead letters. And yet I come to you not with criticisms, or faulting; but with praise and appreciation, and to say that I am not assigned to call you brethren. For no matter what the short comings of the one toward the other, the vital need of this age is the spirit of Brotherhood, not only in groups like this association, or particular races or nations, but in the human family. As people we have longed and labored with the hope that the time would come when such a spirit would manifest its self, and we should be free from the humiliations, and deprivations to which we are so wrongly subjected. But in the absence of such a spirit, the question arises, "What shall we do to be saved?" One month ago, I stood on the historic "Jamestown Island" and as I bheild scenes that marked the spot, I thought of the twenty slaves that were landed there in colonial days. I thought of the centuries that have passed since that time. I thought also of their struggles and their sacrifices, their sufferings and their patience, with the increase of their numbers, and material worth, all of this stood before me. I thought too, of the part they have played in the making of this great American civilization. And yet after so long time, while they are free in body, they are still slaves in spirit. With these facts before me, I asked my self the question, Why is it so? Why is it that a race so harmless as mine, and yet so ready to help, should be slave in a free country. They have shirked no duty, neither have they shunned any responsibility, they have been loyal in war and in peace, contributing their portion to every claim of their countrys need, whether in industry, or religion. With such a record they are justly entitled to all the privileges of free citizenship, but sad to say it is not so, and seeing that the spirit of the country is that it shall not be so, I ask again. What shall we do to be saved? As far as this association is concerned, its objects are very clearly and definitely stated, in the second article of its constitution. It is sufficiently clear for all who read to understand. There is no need to question the purpose, aim or effort. Three things have we desired of the Lord, and those will we seek after. (1) That we may advance the educational interest of our people everywhere, for it is the knowledge of the truth that makes men free. (2) To agitate, advocate, and propagate a higher standard of Christian ethics in our home land. Not among our alone, but among that there are the among whom we live that have a zeal of GOD, but not according to knowledge, and we reserve the right, and feel responsible for the truth that we may impart to them. (3) To send the gospel of the living Christ to foreign fields. HOME MISSIONS The need of missions must not be (Continued on Page Four) EXCELSIOR BAND CARRIES BOSTON BY STORM Local Musical Organization, Under Captain Elliott, Captures Prize From Large Field Competitors.

The National Medical Association, consisting of physicians, surgeons, dentists and pharmacists, held its sessions in Jefferson County Armory, Louisville, Ky., August 23rd, 24th, 25th and 26th, and was largely attended by professional men from all parts of the country.

No paines were spared by the hospitable people of Louisville in making the social side of the meeting second to none ever given. The indies were entertained at tea, boat rides and card parties, while the men enjoyed smokers and stags. A bout ride down the Ohio river was given Wednesday evening and a visit to Mammouth Cave on Saturday. The reception at the Armory on Friday night was "largely attended" and proved "amost brilliant social affair." The officers of the association are: president, Dr J. P.

Frye, who was apprehended in connection with forgery of a check from a mail box has confessed to the killing of Dr. R. W. Brown on November 27, 1920. Frye claims that Dr. Brown had treated him for venereal disease and that on the night on which the killing took place he came again for treatment, but lacked funds. Dr. Brown refused to treat him and an altercation followed in which the physician was killed. The credit for the clearing up of the mystery is due to the detective work of two colored detectives, Jones and Jackson, of Washington. White Farmer Accused of Attack Upon Woman Petersburg, Va., Aug. 24.—W. K. Robinson, a white farmer who lives with his wife and child near Disputanta, was brought here today and lodged in jail following his arrest yesterday on a warrant sworn out in Jacksonville, Calauun County, Ala., charging criminal assault on a white woman.

Giles was found at the corner of Landing and Henry streets Wednesday morning by Patrolmen Hatton and O'Brien in this serious condition, and told them that Burr made the terrible assault upon him. The police are now in search of Burr. DR. KERLIN GETS HIS DISMISSAL Wrote Letter To Arkansas Governor In Defense of Victims of the Elaine Riot, Which Met Disapproval Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, Professor of English of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., has been expelled from that institution because he wrote an open letter to the Governor of Arkansas protesting against what he termed unjust sentences of death pronounced on Negroes in connection with the Eluine (Ark.) riots in 1919, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Prof. Kerlin has striven to place before the country, in its proper light, the race question, in book and pamphlet form and has not failed to state the uncompromizing truth whenever he has touched upon the same. It was his favorable attitude towards the Negro race and his belief in justice that has won for him the disfavor of his colleagues. His most outstanding achievement in defense of the race was a book "The Voice of the Negro," published in 1919, which is perhaps the broadest, most correct and far-reaching discourse on the questions effecting both races in this country ever published from the pen of a white man. MOB VIOLENCE CURBED IN KNOXVILLE Twenty-Eight White Rioters Wounded In Attack Upon Jail To Lynch A Colored Man Suspected of Crime. Knoxville, Tenn.—Deputies guarding the Knox County jail here fired into a crowd wounding twenty-eight persons, two of them seriously, when the crowd attempted to storm the jail and lynch a colored man held as suspect in a criminal assault upon a teacher Monday. The wounded man was white, include two women. Two of the white, were wounded seriously. Frank Martin, the man who is held as the suspect in the case, was supposed to have been identified by the school teacher as her assailant. As soon as this report spread, large crowds began to gather in the vicinity of the jail. The police were successful in towing the crowd back several times, it was evident that the mob got close to the jail that Sheriff Cate stepped under an are light and demanded that they disperse. He gave warning that any one crossing a line between two telegraph poles would do so at his own risk. As several of these would-belinchers crossed the line, the fury fired over their heads, four deputies rushed to the scene, and the court-yard fired in reply. "Then the firing became general. A large crowd of morbid curiosity seekers had gathered in the court-yard and these were the ones who received most of the injuries. A number of the wounded are suffering from wounds inflicted with bullets of large calibre. Following this disturbance extrajudicial arrests were made against the jail, National Guardman, police, deputies and six machine guns manned by State police were on duty to prevent further lawlessness. Infantrymen were held in reserve, while troops of cavalry galloped through the streets enforcing the rule, "move on." No one was permitted to stop on the streets and none allowed in the immediate vicinity of the jail. The police and six orderly conduct were made in the business section. The city is now under excellent control and no further lawlessness is anticipated. MAN'S BODY IS RIDDLED WITH BULLETS Jerome Whitfield Victim of Kinston, S. C. Mob.

Mr. Johnson's statement reads as follows: The Department of Justice has gone on record in an interview delivered by Judge Golem saying that the Dyer anti-lynching bill was constitutional. There is no reason any representative of the American people should oppose a measure designed to end such a monstrous evil as noh murder. "Every vote against the Dyer bill in the House of Representatives or in the Senate, is a vote for lynching. "Every representative and every senator who dares to oppose this bill ought to be listed by colored voters throughout the United States and placed on the record. "The states have shown they cannot or will not stop lynching. The Federal government should now act. The Dyer bill gives the government the necessary authorization to act.

This school in contemplation can be started in the Fall if it is assured that a large enough number of students in different sections of the country are sufficient to forecast to come Chicago to take the course. The follo- course of studies to be completed in two years outlined by Dr. Carolyn Hedger of the National Kindergarten College, has been submitted: Health and Parenthood,—10 lectures; lessons and demonstrations. Physical examination and conservation of girl herself; bodily cleanliness; contraction. Psychology; Psychology of educational psychology, 38 hours per year. Expression,—Motor. Plays, Games, Folk Dancing, Music. Art—Plastic: Modelling; Graphic: Drawing, Printing; Wood, Home Making, Weaving, Washing, Cleaning, Child Food Cookery. Materials—Indoor: Organization of this material in relation to life of the Outdoor—When-How—Inter- relations.

Republican Party Intoxciated with Power Colored Americans Coming In For Unjust Share of Disappointment. No Human Element In Treatment Washington, D. C. Aug—"Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." Such might be the text of a sermon for every bishop and minister of every race variety in the United States, with the Republican party as the theme. The Republican party is intoxicated with power, and by that unusual condition, there are many surprising things happening and Colored Americans are coming in for their just—or unjust—share of disdainment. There seems to be a great poverty of the human element, of the "spirit" in the things they are happening. President Harding has said to a great preacher of human justice, and the things he says have a far different effect on the general public, than the things said by his predecessor, Woodrow Wilson, for the President has the true element of sincerity in his statements. "But what difference does it make," said one citizen to another, "if the President fails to back up his preachments with action." "The Republican party has failed the Colored people again." This is a common expression falling on the cars of hundreds of people as they walk about among their friends. What is meant by "failed us?" Simply this: there has been a wide range between the things that have happened in the last six months, and the things that Republican spellbinders have last fall. Colored speakers pointed the glories of the party history, and pointed to the fact that "with the election of Harding, the dawn of a new era is upon us." It is a matter of much chargrit to the aforesaid spellbinders, and orators to the developments have fallen far behind the beautiful word pictures. A Crisis at Hand There is a crisis at hand. Colored Americans are halted between two opinions; they are "between the devil and the deep blue sea." The devil being the Democrats, and the Blue Sea, the Republicans, And the Republican ship that Freed Douglas spoke about, is having engine trouble. One man said to the A. N. P. representative: "Here are some practical suggestions. The men who have stood sponsor for the party principles should be the 'Jus de Washin' Choir they should shake the dust of Washin' Choir feet, and go about their business. It is not generally known, but that is exactly what Church did, and when the facts come out, he will be more highly regarded as a leader. "Church spent more than two months in Washington. When he saw the trend of things, he had a long and serious conference with President Harding. When the President expressed his views particularly on the appointments in the South Church respectfully told the President that he could not be sponsor for such a policy, and that until the course changed, his address would be 'Memphis, Tenn.' Church went back to his business. "Henry Lincoln Johnson should tell the President that under the circumstances he does not care to be Re-Assisted; Perry Howard should resign as Special Attorney General; Charles Cottrell should return to his business in Toledo, and Dr. J. R. A. Grossland should go back to Missouri and practice medicine. "Such a course would show the Re- up to every colored man and woman in the United States to see to it that the Dyer bill is passed and that the name of every man in Congress who opposes that is put on record. "A constant fire of telegrams and letters should be directed at your Congressman so that they know without any shadow of doubt that their constituents want the bill passed."

It would make these men and any like them, real and not fancied leaders; if such a course is not pursued, and things continue as now going, there will be a revulsion by the people themselves, that will not be stayed, and that will surpass anything that ever happened in Race. Things point that way now. Do They Point? Do things point to the end that is expressed in the above statement? Let's see. Colored American citizens in the South, without the ballot, and no hand told out to help them, except the long lone protester,gressman Tinkham of Massachusetts are stirred from center to circumference, alliances and new leaderships are in the making. What this will mean, only time can tell, but there are things going on, and they are not under cover. In the Northern and Middle West voting states, where the Colored votes, under normal conditions, are the balance of power, there is a wide range of disgust, and dispointment. In these areas are actually looking in three different directions: Freedly Democrats; Socialists and Independents. They point to the fact that even the Republican newspapers have failed to back up the program of human rights debarred for in the Republican plat-adopter in Chicago. Here is a statement nationally known citizen: "The New Democrat newspaper, an avowed Democratic newspaper, for us a far better play of justice than the so called Republican Chicago Tribune and a number like it. Last fall, the Tribune supported President Harding on the Republican Ticket, all other offices endorsed were Democrats, including the State House and County Officers, with the longtime Senator McKinley. We have got to show some of that same kind of independence if we get anywhere politically. That goes for Negroes everywhere in America." Politically, the signs of the time point to a radical change of policy on the part of Republicans, or a political catastrophe unquenched in the history of the party. We shall see what we shall see."

Entrusted as second-class matter at the post office at Norfolk, Virginia SATURDAY AUGUCT 27. 1921 PELLAGRA INCREASING IN THE SOUTH Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, chief of the Public Health Service, has written a letter to the President in which he shows that pellagra is on the increase in the Southern States, and that it is due to insufficient food, which has been brought about by the greed of those who have insisted upon tenants subordinating all other crops to that of cotton and of depending upon the store account credits against cotton for food supplies. Poor Afro-American tenant farmers and farm hands are the chief sufferers, because they are not allowed to raise any food supplies, but must needs buy them of the stores owned by the farm-owner interests. In a note to the White House statement Dr. Cumming says: "Information indicates a definite increase of pellagra this year in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and probably North and South Carolina. Some evidence also indicates an increase in Georgia. In Kentucky and Virginia, testimony points to a definite increase in the incidence indicate 5,000 deaths and 100,000 cases of pellagra in the country in 1921." "Dr. Cumming said it had been brought out that, in various localities in the South conditions were such that the essential foods required to prevent the development of pellagra were obtainable only with difficulty, and in some instances were entirely beyond the reach of the power working people. He explained that this situation had been brought about largely by the custom of one-crop farming. "It was gratifying to learn of the progress made largely through the introduction of Agriculture to bring about greater diversity in farm crops,' the letter continued." The cotton crop this year it is estimated will be something more than half what it was last year, when there was a yield of some 14,000,000 bales, 9,000,000 of which were left on the hands of the farmers or speculators, with a slump in prices from 60 to 12 cents a pound, no market. The farmers will thus be loaded with some 14,000,000 bales this year, with prices at 12 cents a pound. They have raised more foodstuffs, however, this year, and should be in better shape, although they are in a very bad way. It would be a good thing if the small Afro-American farmers of the South should, where they can, cease to make cotton and tobacco their money crop, entirely to the almost certain dependence on the stores for their food supplies. They should see to it first that they have made provision for their food supplies before planting a bit of cotton and tobacco as the money dependence. It takes people a long time, with much suffering, to break away from old customs and habits that injure rather than benefit them, but experience teaches them after awhile whether they want to learn or not. When pellgrna and other deadly diseases help them to learn it is a hard but sure way they can't escape from. OUR ALLEGED DECREASING GROWTH Are the Afro-American people decreasing or increasing? The Federal census shows that our increase in the last ten years was only 6.5 per cent as compared with 11.2 per cent in 1910 and 34.9 per cent in 1880. The wobbling of the census returns of our numbers from 1850 to 1920 has been glaring and provoking enough to puzzle a lightning calculator. In a letter to the Director of the Census Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University analyzed the vagaries of the various figures by decades and reached the conclusion that "the irregularities in these figures are as whimsical as if produced by the sport of the gods." Professor Miller thinks there must have been something wrong in the work of the enumerators and he wants another enumeration. Mr. William M. Stewart, Director of the Census, in his reply, does not think there is anything wrong with the enumeration and does not see why another enumeration should be made, which would require a new enumeration of all of the Afro-Americans of the country, for which there is no money available. So, there you are. We shall have to wait for the 1930 census to see if we go up or down in the enumeration. We are very much like the Jews, however, who are supposed to number not more than 4,000,000 of our population, and 14,000,000 of the total population of the world, while we number 10,403,013; you cannot go any place in the country where you do not find some of us. That is becoming perceptibly more observable. We may not be increasing but we are certainly spreading ourselves abroad throughout the land. Let us all strive to make the most and not the least of our opportunities. WOMAN AND HER GUN The new woman does so many things that the old woman did not do as to make old-timers gasp and keep on gasping, as they look and see and hear the new creature in all of her glory over-riding the old conventions and making most of the Constitutional amendment which declares her to be on equality with man in all of the relations of citizenship. It is a strange condition of affairs we have come upon, which was prophesied in The Revelation of Saint John the Divine, in which the spiritual woman was to play such a remarkable part in the affairs of mankind and which should have a sufficient reflection in the lives of those who have the breath of life and live and have their being as persons and citizens. The World War and its industries brought woman into prominence in such a way as to liberate her from many of the alleged inequalities that subordinate her and her ways to the control of man, defining her sphere of action as more particularly that of the home. The change in woman's relation to human affairs has been wide, even those of Japan, China, and the East Indies demanding and receiving unheard of privileges and immunities bithered enjoyed by men alone. The end is not yet. How it will all come out in the wash, which will take a long time to finish, remains to be seen. Among the privileges which woman has arrogated to herself are the right to tob her hair, to smoke cigarettes in public or private, to wear her clothes as low at the top and as short at the bottom as it pleases her, and to carry concealed weapons and to use them, with more or less of immunity, as the occasion may determine. Miss Alice Robinson, of Oklahoma, the only woman member of Congress, Desmette Rankin having come and gone, talking about Disarmament, which is just now the prevailing microbe in the air, wants to know why woman should not be disarmed as well as men. She points the accusing finger at the abnormal prevalence of crimes of violence charged to woman's account, among them shooting to kill and nicking male accomplices in their criminal work. The record in the daily newspapers is really a shocking one and seems to be growing more so. In the South they do not often hang women for shooting their husbands and sweethearts. Last winter, at Memphis, four Afro-American women were acquitted in one week of murdering their male companions. The number of white women accused of murder in their section was very great and discouraging. The main question, then, now is: Shall woman and her gun be separated? STRAY THOUGHTLETS By James M.

If the American people would learn to lean more on the efficacy of prayer and further to heed with earnestness and seriousness the admonition of our contemporary, then the skies of busi- ness and of politics would both clear up under the carcassing hand of a favourable breeze and the Ship of State, guided by God-fearing men, would heave into harbor with its cargo safely intact and its passengers safe over a pleasant voyage.—Richmond Daily American. MOB DEPRAVITY GOES THE LIMIT AT AUGUSTA The limit in mob deprivacy has been reached at Augusta, Ga., where a morge was raided, and the body of a Negro taken out, burned to a crisp and returned. We wonder what chivalric principle this is supposed to exemplify? The Negro had killed a white man, we believe. Probably he was a mental defective in the first place—intelligent Negroes do not kill white men in Georgia. Anyhow, his life had already paid for that which he had taken—or as nearly as as payment could be made. Could indignity offered its poor affront, mortify or more deeply convict of guilt the soul which has gone back to its Source? A tribute to the memory of the Negro's victim? A beautifully tender thing this incense at the shrine of the departed. Instruction for the rising generation of either white or blacks? God forbid! No it was simple degeneracy during collectively that it would not think of attempting singly. Of such is the leaven of mobs. Not all members of a mob are ruffians at all times; some of them even go home and live decently afterward, perhaps. But it must be hell to remember such a party as this one staged at Augusta. And if, perchance, there were in attendance those who hitherto had been accustomed to meet their fellow-men eye to eye, they must have greatly enjoyed the company of men who could propose such a deed! Do you think that no mob could be formed in your community which would perpetrate such an insult to the whole of civilization? Mobs don't reason; there is no telling where the brute will carry men who allow it to get the upper hand. How long will decent men who profess to love God and their fellows condone such throw-backs to savagery. We beg the pardon of savages everywhere for use of the term savage for purposes of comparison. A South Sea cannibal might burn the body of a brother mortal; but since he would eat it there would be infinitely more of intelligence and decency in his action.—Raleigh News and Observer. The Negro's Creed I believe in the inherent inferiority of my race. I believe the Anglo-Saxon race is divinely ordained, because of its color, to the estate of "white supremacy." I believe my place in human society is that of a subordinate—a "hewer of wood" for all the other races of mankind. I believe it is a crime for individuals if my race group to aspire to the same levels of life in the world about them that members of other race groups have attained. I believe the Christian Church should assume this fact of race inferiority and teach and preach the same to my race. I believe those other agencies, the jim-crow regime, the masked mob, the savage orgies exhibiting quivering, burning human beings—natural and inevitable concomitants of the inferior race theory—are legitimate and defensible methods of keeping me in 'my place." I believe I should be contented with that type of education which comports with the theory of inherent race inferiority. I believe the other races are sufficiently wise and good and devoid of racial prejudice to be wholly entrusted with the government of my inherently inferior race. I believe I should, therefore, not hold any public political or civic office. I believe I should not vote. I believe I should not vote. I believe that absolute justice will be recorded me in the courts. I believe resolute appeal and effort for better opportunities and living conditions for my group is "dangerous agitation," and though this is the method pursued by other race minorities to advance themselves in the family of race groups, should be refrained from my group. I should remain mute under oppression. I believe I should refrain from living in cities and entering as a laborer into those civilizing industries that make me keen of intellect and deft of hand, and which pay a living wage, but that I should remain on the farm where the labor systems keep my family and me undernourished and where peonage is rampart. I believe my race group should blindly accept and follow those compromising, sycophant "race leaders" chosen and ordained for us by other race groups, because for self and profit, they promulgate programs and employ tactics to inveigle our group, to accept and subscribe to this theory of inherent race inferiority. I believe that inasmuch as the problem of race adjustment does not fall within the pale of Christian ethics, it must be solved not by the clear, convincing, conclusive teachings of Jesus, but by the cross materialistic philosophy of those who strive with the sword. I believe that under these conditions, as a Negro, I can develop the highest type of patriotism and personal character and that I can be most respectful and reverent toward law and order I believe the integrity and dignity of my race group suffer no impairment by this creed and that this group NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE BY EDWARD A. BAKER Assistant Treasurer Tidewater Bank & Trust Co LET'S GO DOWN TO THE BANK Of all the trips that mortal men may make, there is none so fraught with the potential elements of future happiness as a trip to the bank. The psychology of this thought may be arrived at through an analysis of the motives which ordinarily prompt such a journey. When we journey to a moving picture theatre our sub-conscious minds glow in anticipation of pleasure. When we attend a lecture we take on a mind receptive for the instruction we expect to receive. When we go to church, our souls lean towards the inherent religious instincts that all men possess. We become pleasurably, spiritually or openmindedly inclined in exact relation to the things we are still doing open-mindedly. And so, when we start to the bank—whether we realize it or not—our subconscious selves respond to the atmosphere of personal success; our thoughts are colored with individual thrift and we become—for the time being, at any rate—depely imbued with our sense of responsibility as citizens. Now, when you come to this bank you will find here an atmosphere which will stimulate the best there is in you. You will find here officers and employees who are anxious and ready to give to you freely of their counsel and experience in order that you may travel more quickly in the paths of achievement. You will find here COURTESY, GOOD CHEER, PERSONALITY and GENUINE INTEREST. In the lobby you find successful men and you can easily recall that a few years back you saw them beginning their life's work—making daily trips to the institution and conferring often with the officials—who seem to be on the job, tireless in their efforts towards community service and community development. And, now, they, too, have attained prominence—not by making just one journey to the bank, but by making many of them—by establishing an inviolable rule that they should avail themselves of the opportunity. THE RESULTS There is something undaunted—unconquerable—about the persons whom we find frequenting banks. Did you ever see them turn out to be failures? Most probably not, for we are largely affected by whit we do—and moulded by environment. It is a wise thing for every individual to say to himself—every week of the month, when his salary is paid, or every day if he has any wenkening of faith in himself: "Let's go down to the bank."

What Shall We Do In Politics? SINCE there has been such a coldness shown to the colored people by the administration that they have helped to make and support; and since Mr. Harding, guided by some council, has had so little of encouragement for the colored man in point of citizenship and citizenship rights, the question naturally arises, what must the colored man do to be saved, and what should he his political attitude? Now he must adversely it must be admitted that if he is politically or get anywhere he must of necessity, ask for it and contend for the same. In his content, however, he must exercise prudence and common sense and not force and violence as is taught by Marcus Garvey or another school of politicians in this State who are self-constituted and who want to run the whole thing to suit themselves without consulting the masses at all. If there is concert of results, along any line we may expect results, and any one may come at once; no great movement may be made but slowly and surely we pave the way to a consideration that right will prevail. The course taken by the late Republican conventions held since Mr. Harding has been made President, shows clearly that the Republican party has thrown the colored voter overboard and left him to his fate, sink or swim, the Democratic party is not bidding for grocer votes, not turn aside from such vote if it be found that they cannot win without them. The thing to be done is to call a meeting where the colored voter can be heard, and given the choice of a leader, and having made the choice let the members of the Race follow it, matters not into just what camp the voter, as long as it will mean recognition which the bide-bound Republicans of the State have sworn not to give. Beware of any movement that will bring about "the Mexican situation," it matters not who may be the sponsor who dares to advise and lead the Race. A competent, conservative and far-sighted leader is the need of the hour, and there will still be more confusion and stagnation out of the great tangle in which we find ourselves as a race, a people, and tax-payers.—Vigil.

A Dogged Ideal "Hello Nigger!" A bright-eyed, sunny faced, poorly clad, white lad of ten summers passed this greeting over the wind shield to a strange Negro who rode silently and cautiously on a lonely road in his own car. This strange Negro was a bachelor of Arts from a leading Virginia college, a Seminary graduate with honors and with some degree of national recognition, to this misguided youth of very tender years he was just a plain "nigger." This is food for thought for the dancer of haleyon days between the races here in America. This sprightly, carefree lad may one day be the mayor of some city, the sheriff of some county, the superintendent of education for some State, the congressman from some district, or even the president of some city, so to him, the black faced citizen of his Fatherland will be just plain "niggers", that's all. Were he alone the matter would be a huge joke. But his name is legion. Instinct teaches a child to fear, to cry and to take nourishment. But instinct knows nothing about germs and "niggers". At millions of American firesides, determined teachers with a degged ideal are indestructible white hearts, hearted babies with the heart of Neo-friarity and incubating their young souls with the virus of race antinathy. Sadder still is the fact that in millions of homes, huts and hovels, black mothers sing the lullaby of white supremacy over the cradles of their babies. Psychology comes in for a prophecy. These black, misguided babies, fifty years from this rosy morn, are the ones that they are just plain "niggers" that's And this because the white boy's mother taught him to say "Hello Nigger". To the black mother the boy's mother was right because she was white. Racial antipathy is as old as humanity. But no group of people has made capital of it so successfully as the Southern whites. To them it is a crime to punish with a dogged determination. The victim is the black man. Since he must meet this antipathy and survive, his fireside propaganda must change. Hamillicr, though dead, fought Rome through the genius of his famous son Julius Caesar. Race prejudice through their black crudels. Not by arming their young hearts with hate for this would-be murder. The teacher of America's black babies, whether he be parent, politician or preacher, must teach that a common to them foreign to them that is common to them to "Hello Nigrier", but "Hello Man". J. A. BRINKLEY Smithfield, Va. Tidewater Peninsular Association (Continued from page 1) minimized, for while in our home land and in our various communities much is known of Christianity, very little is practiced. The time has come when we must lay aside the principles of the doctrines and go on to perfection. Go into the city over against you is the admonition of our Lord, there you will find men idle, harness and bring them into his service. The suspicion of the gospel is world wide but it must be painful. Our international Sunday School Committee (very wisely I think) gave us in the last quarter a course of Bible study from a social point of view. It embraced the thought of making the world christian. To do this they declared that first of all the home must be christian, second, the business, third, the social order, and finally the nation. Home mission then is our first task. FOREIGN MISSION While home mission is first, foreign need not be last. For efforts may be made in the interest of both at the same time. Our visions must be sufficiently large to behold the need of the foreign fields. We must see them now. "For over the Ocean wave, far far away. There the poor henthen lay, waiting for day." The Virginia Baptist State Convention, of which we are a part, has adopted a definite plan to do concrete work on the continent of Africa, and it is the duty of this association to see to it that as far as we are able, her hopes shall be realized. You have noticed prehaps on our letter form, that the provision for foreign mission has been left off, this I am sure was an over sight, and was not intentionally done, for ours is a world of Christianity, and the foreign field is entitled to our support. EDUCATION The call, the duties, and the responsibilities of home and foreign fields have been laid before us. But we shall not be able to perform these tasks until we shall have been taught as to what to do, and how to do it. And this teaching must not be left for others to do, we must teach ourselves, and teach our children. And to this end we must provide educational institutions. We must own them, support them, and control them. We must teach our children what we want them to know, and send them forth in our own name. Bearing the stamp of a race that must be reckoned with, as the other races of the earth. We are doing this work at Va. Seminary, our own school, born more than thirty years ago, out of the womb of our vision and hope. And thank GOD it is no longer an experience, but a realization. That school is moulding the blocks with which we are to build this race of ours into a tower of intellectual, moral, and spiritual strength. These things we have tried to do and are doing, but what You cannot play safe without money. Always spend wisely, but save well. The most profitable crop that you could plant would be a THRIFT CROP. NICKELS, DIMES and QUARTERS, placed on a growing INTEREST ACCOUNT here, will yield you a bounteous harvest. shall we do to be saved? The answer to this question must not be expected from this association, not from the school room, nor from the church alone. But out of liberal contributions of racial interest, in united efforts, under the guidance of our own selected leaders from all the units of racial activities, shall come a solution for this mighty problem. Too long we have looked to the school room and the teacher, the church and the preacher, in these alone have been our hope. But I say to you, that if the problems that lay before us are to be solved, there must be a unification of all of our forces, whether Industrial, Political, Educational or religious, and those forces must be directed to one common end. To expect this salvation from any other source is both vain and hopeless. For no race has ever been lifted to its rightful place but bl its own efforts. Co-operation with the white folks is a by-word and a subterfuge, the purpose of which is to split us up and weaken our efforts for our own good. When we line up together, and fight our own battles, with our eyes single to our own interest, then shall come the salvation for which we have so long labored. Three years ago we set our faces toward the European world to purchase at the cost of sacrifices, the worth of which, can never be estimated, what we hoped to be the freedom of the nations of the earth. We were assured that on our return, the Lion and the Lamb would lay down together. We are told that the cause that carried us away was for the good of mankind, and those who fought the battles would share the spoils, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. We hoped that when the cannon ceased to blast and the war clouds were driven away by the wind of peace, then a man would be a man for that and for that. But how soon our services forgotten, how little our sacrifices are appreciated. We went freely to war, but after all of our suffering, "Wrong rules the land and waiting justice sleeps." Reconstruction is the slogan of the hour, but the construction will be tested by the blocks with which they build. The immortal Lincoln wisely said, "No nation can succeed, half free, and half slave." Thus if there is to be a civilization, the blocks on which it is to be built must be adjusted. Henry W. Anderson, the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia, recently said, that the race question must not be solved by political agitation, but by the application of moral principles. He also said that it must not be solved by abstract theories, or by policies, of repression, or evasion. Mr. Anderson's logic is good, but it is only words, for we know what principles mean, but what the moral from his point of view is hard to guess. But we need not worry about what other folks think or what they say, our salvation depends upon our own effort, and God helps the man who helps himself. Let the race get together, and take their stand sufficiently far from the white man to see him as he is, where they can study him more minutely, and better direct their attacks against his prejudice, and his so-called supremacy. The three principle roads that lead to civilization are EDUCATION, POLITICS, RELIGION. All of these the white man holds dear, so dear that he has refused to open the gate to his black brother. But what are his politics that we should desire them? I tell you they are rotten to the core, their goal is office, and their method is oppression. Such politics are not worth our while. His education is narrow, selfish, and misleading. He trains his own child to hate you, and your child to be a slave to him. His ambition is to be master, and call himself boss. You and I need a better education than such a teacher will give us. His religion is grossly hypocritical, he praises God, serves the devil, and kills his brother, and then boasts of his civilization. We need a better civilization.

I wish to encourage also the trend of our young men and women toward the higher schools of learning. The salvation of the race depends upon efficient leaders, and efficiency develops as a result of systematic training in all the arts and economics of a civilization. In conclusion, may I say, that the building of a race is a great task. It requires strength, faith, courage and character. And yet with all these essentials, let it be remembered, that if united we shall stand, but if divided must surely fall. The Optimist, has said: To your task your best work giving day by day. Life will be well worth the living; All the way. Waste not time in idle weeping; Sowing must precede the reaping; Put your fate in God's safe keeping— Work and pray. And finally—When the roll of nations shall be called, and the spirit of the Christ shall conquer the prejudice of insignificant man, when reason shall displace riot, and the mind shall triumph over decaying matter, when labor shall be honored, and character shall be the basis upon which we shall estimate the worth of a race, when truth and beauty, love and honor shall be respected under whatever superficial covering, then shall we wring from savagery the bloody blade, stay the onward trend of barbarian, sheath the driping sword on every battle field, and break forever the shakles from the unfortunate slave. Until that time, I beg to be yours for the race and the kingdom. J. H. Ashby, Moderator Tidewater Peninsular Association Rev. A. A.

Be During the past five months it has heen my pleasant duty to visit the State somewhat extensively in the way fof preparation for the joint tubercu- losis clinics of the State Board of Health and the Virginin Tuberculosis Association. This experience has fur- nished me with the slow developing concept and now firm conviction that Virginia needs most urgently a Free Bed Sanatorium for the trentment of jall stages of pulmonary tuberculosis. Viewing this type of disense as n whole, we may roughly divide the ag- JRregnte into two main graups—those who can afford to take the “rest cure” jand those who canont. The first group includes the wealthy, those in moder- ate circumstances, the War Risk bene- ficiaries and others under beneficient care. By process of elimination, the ‘second group includes all other classes, Tam fully aware of the fact that the State furnishes a limited number lof free heds for tuberculous cases and also that the sausage grinder method of foreing patients through the Sana- torium mill to make room for new applicants can be resorted to under cxisting Inw. To the first of these counter proposals the answer is self- eeisionts The number of free beds is quite insufficient. As for the latter argument, I am of the opinion that the best curative results cannot be ob- trined if patients are forced to leave the Sanatoriam before an “arrested” condition has been effective where such may be possible. It is to be sup- Posed that our objective.is the grent- est possible number of “cures.” To attain such an end there is but one answer. Stick to the job with bulldog tenacity until completed, We may have a fair degree of confi- dence that all other diseases contribute to tuberculosis inasmuch as they lower general vitality. ‘Their prevention control is therefore of the greatest concern. Such an argument, however, precludes one important factor, Tu- berculosis is conditional upon itself. If not controlled among the poorer classes it will continue to be our main source of wide-spread infection. ‘The joint clinics already held have un-_ earthed a large number of cases un- able to take the cure because of finan- cial embarrassment. As stewards of our fellow men we owe them better | than they have yet received. | ; N.C. Odd Fellows In Annual Session By W. B.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH "We must not use our christian freedom as a means for shielding wickness," thus sponge the pastor in the course of a timely and instructive sermon last Sunday morning, from the subject, "The Misuse of Freedom," test 1 Peter 2:16. Thus the audience will not soon forget that, because they as christians can enjoy freedom, but must also remember that there is limitation to a christian's freedom. There were four accessions to the church, including one little box, who professed faith in Christ. During this service four candidates were baptized. At 3 p.m, a glorious time was spent in the Holy Communion service. The hand of fellowship was extended to 13 candidates. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. were largely attended.

At 11:30 the pastor preached a powerless lesson, subject, "Making the Unservile conscience."

Morris Accorded Huge Reception In Newport News Fully one thousand people jammed Trinity Baptist church, 30th street and Chestnut avenue, Newport News, last Sunday evening, September 24th, and many were compelled to stand, to greet and welcome young Charles Satchell Morris, Jr. The vast audience was regaled with brilliant music for fully half an hour. Old Negro spirituals interspersed with classic music was rendered. Professors W. A. Sykes and Ernest Williams presented superb musical numbers. Hon. J. Thomas Newsome was the master of ceremonies and presided. Mr. Morris was presented to the audience by Rev. Dr. E. E. Smith, the pastor of the church. A wonderful reception was accorded him. From the moment he arose until he resumed his seat the audience was in the highest realms of oratory. His subject was: "The Blocks With Which We Build." Though suffering with a severe cold and sore throat he has never appeared to better advantage. He enumerated the fundamental blocks in the building of an individual and the building of a race. "If the individual is right the world will be right," he declared. An eloquent tribute was paid to women and to her place "in this morning of the twentieth century." The orator concluded his address with a dramatic preparation in which he asserted that God had ever placed every race in harmony with its environment, enabled it to master its fate, or given it an opportunity for world service which it refused to accept. An enthusiastic reception was tendered him as he closed. The meeting, one of the most successful in the history of the city, was staged under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary Society. This coming Monday evening, August 29th, young Morris will journey to Welton, N. C., to speak for the first time under the auspices of the Halifax County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P.

Dr. Motton warned his hearers to move cautiously and wisely; to keep in mind that while "business is business", it may become poor business; not to let business deceive the people; and not to deceive the people and at all times to honestly with the public. In conclusion Dr. Moton said: "It would be a very good thing for us as a people if our various organizations, religious, educational, professional, and cultural resources could combine on certain fundamental needs of our people. The constitution guarantees to every man life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Negro in every part of America must be made secure in his life and in his property. It must be impressed with the problems of races cannot be solved lawlessness on the part of black or white, whether organized or not; that it is not fair or just to terrorize all of the Negroes in a community because of the alleged misconduct of one; that all alleged criminals should be tried by the police; that race that has always stood loyally by the people of the community in which they live, as well as by the state and nation as a whole in every emergency should be treated justly and should be accorded the rights and privileges of citizenship on the basis of merit with democratic America. We need love and honor, and for which many of our bravest and best gave their lives, and many more offered themselves during the recent war, should set an example to the world of what democracy means; that it should maintain the greatness of a nation or a race in the world, and lie in its ability to be fair and just to the humbleest and the poorest—yea—and the blackest, too." At the conclusion of the President's address the officers were elected by acclamation. A feature of the Wednesday evening program was the story of P. Harry II. Pace, President of the P. Harry II. Pace Corporation of New York City, manufacturing of phonograph records of Negro voices by a Negro company.

White Henrietta (Martin) Brickhouse was born on the 10th day of May, 1881 in Elizabeth City, N. C. She was married to Moses Brickhouse on the 24th day of November, 1912.

Faith to every obligation and vow that she took upon herself when she became a member of St. Phillips church, and she kept her shoes she fell ill. She has been at her post all the time. She has filled her 've in the chin when many afflicted as herself would have remained home. She came as long as she could move. On the first Sunday in July, we went and gave her her last Communion. She said to her husband's faithful sister, "Don't hunger for this blessed Communion" she received the Body and Blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This do, in remembrance of me, the tears of joy were running down her cheeks, and she proclaimed, "Oh, Rev.

Beauty Aids Cites Census Figures To Show Gradual Decline In Race During Last Eighty Years The following article appearing in the Elizabeth City Independent (white) of August 19th, attempts to show a gradual decline in the colored population of the country and predicts a final vanishing of the race within two hundred years. Our readers may draw their own conclusions from the same. "The colored population of Pasquitank county has shown a substantial decrease in ten years, according to census reports made available this weke. In 1910 more than half the population of this county were Negroes. The percentage was 50.1 colored, to be exact. The 1920 census shows the percentage of Negroes to be 44.4 per cent. "Chowan County with a population 54.5 per cent colored in 1910 now has 49.7 per cent colored. "Is the Negro race a vanishing race? Will two centuries hence find it extinct in the land to which it was brought captive four hundred years ago? Will the much vexed "race problem" eventually solve itself through inability of the African people to compete with an Aryan people in an alien climate? "Records of the United States census together with records from the Registry of Vital Statistics maintained by the State Board of Health indicate that the answer may be alternative. The ratio of Negro population in the State has declined slowly but steadily for the past 40 years. There is a wide gap between the net gain per thousand white population and the net gain per thousand Negro population annually. GAP IN DEATH RATE "The Negro birth rate is still ahead of its death rate, and they are being born into the world faster than they are dying, but they are being crowded out. In North Carolina last year 333 white babies were born to every 100,000 white people. For a similar number of Negroes, 318 babies were born, giving the white population a margin of 15 per 100,000. "During the same period, the death rate per 100,000 white people was 116, and the death rate among Negroes 189 per 100,000. The net gain of white over black was 73. The net gain in births over deaths by whites was 217, while the Negro population showed a net gain of only 149 per 100,000 of population. CENSUS FOR 70 YEARS "Census figures running back 70 years show an interesting comparison of the relative numbers of Negroes and whites in the State. For three decades the Negro held his own without change, then swung upward for a decade until 1880, and then sharply downward. During the past 30 years the Negro has shown a net loss in proportion of seven per cent of the population. The figures since 1850 follow: | CENSUS | WHITE | BLACK | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1850 | 63.7 | 36.3 | | 1860 | 63.6 | 36.4 | | 1870 | 63.5 | 36.5 | | 1880 | 62.1 | 37.9 | | 1890 | 65.4 | 34.6 | | 1900 | 67.1 | 32.9 | | 1910 | 68.4 | 31.6 | | 1920 | 69.7 | 30.3 | "Pursued mathematically, the continuation of the widening ratio of racial divisions, the decline will reduce the Negro population to less than 15 per cent of the whole within the next 100 years and will carry it to the vanishing point in 200 years." Ku Klux Chief To Head University Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 18.—Colonel William J. Simmons, Imperial Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, it was learned today, has been made president of Lauier University here, and the supposition is that the university will be operated by the organization headed by Simmons. Trustees of the university have tendered their resignations to become effective at Colonel Simmons' discretion. It is understood the khan will make the school a national university. NUTMEG STATE BARS JOHNSON Boxing Board Says It's For Clean Sport New Haven, Conn., Aug. 3.--The State boxing commission has decided that moving pictures of contests will not be allowed in Connecticut. This recommendation with the rules and regulations, has gone to Gov. Lake for approval or disapproval. Moses, King, Yale boxing instructor and chairman of the commission, said today that the commission decided it would not permit the appearance of Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion in this State. "The commission," he said, "stands for clean sport." Boxers who are matched to compete in this State, but live elsewhere will be required to send their photographs that they may be identified before entering the ring. Newspaper men will be allowed to attend all the weighing in. No "battle royals" will be permitted. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE New York, Aug. 5.—The State boxing commission announced adoption today of a rule fixing 38 years as the age limit for boxers seeking licenses to box in New York State. This will bar Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, who is 43 years old. Theatre Goers Moved to Tears by Song Tribute To Late Enrico Caruso Entire Music World Accepts New Song As Tribute to the World-Famous Tenor When the golden voice of Caruso was stilled with his death, the entire world shook from shock. He leaves an empty spot in the hearts of the multitude who loved and admired him. Jack Mills, Inc. Music Publishers have dedicated a beautiful ballad to the world famous tenor as the tribute of our great American Profession, entitled "THEY NEEDED A SONG BIRD IN HEAVEN SO GOD TOOK CARUSO AWAY," written by Geo. A Little and Jack Stanley, Ide suggested by Geo. Walter Brown. This is by no means a popular song, ephemeral in it nature whose spark of popularity flares up and then dies our. It voices the sentiments of and will live on and on like the spirit of the man who inspired it. This is best exemplified by the manner in which it is received by the theatre going public. It was first introduced at the New York Palace by Jack Boyle of Kramer & Boyle. The audience was so over whelmed and carried away with its genuine heart interest, that women were seen wiping tear stained eyes. Even the T. B. M. (Tired Business Man) joined in the tumultuous storm of applause that followed. In its words and in its music the articulate voice of Caruso seems to ring cut. The electrifying popularity of the number hit the entire country with thunderbolt speed and an immediate demand for song copies sprung up. Thousands of copies are being sold daily. It will shortly appear on the listings of the entire record and piano roll industry. Can there be greater tribute to the Great Caruso than to have his name of the lips of millions of people who will daily sing his praises. More Pep At Little Bay Beach Manager Brown and Mr. Bright and family are having their hands full entertaining the crowds at Little Bay Beach now-a-days. Nearly every day there is a picnic at the beach by some organization, church or club, and aside from these large crowds gather daily to enjoy the pleasures of the resort, such as bathing, boating, fishing, dancing, the merry-go-round and other clean attractions. The Sons of Norfolk broke all records of the season with their picnic at the Beach Wednesday. More than three thousand friends and members of the organization were the guests of Little Bay and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves without the least violence or disorder. One commendable thing about Little Bay Beach is the splendid order observed at all times. There has not been an occasion for an arrest this season. This speaks volumes for the management of the beach and bespeaks a larger success for it in future years. Shooting To Kill Halts Bay State Mob Barnstable, Mass., Aug. 22—Again tonight Massachusetts National Guardment armed with machine guns, were ordered to protect the Barnstable County jail against a possible recurrence of yesterday's early morning attempt by a mob to lynch three Cape Verde Island prisoners charged with highway robbery and assault. The detachment of 2nd Regiment artillerymen returned to their summer camp. They had been called out at midnight after twenty-six persons were wounded, six of them seriously, in the fighting. "A general exchange of shots had occurred when members of the crowd composed of more than 200 men and boys, crossed a "dead line" beyond which Sheriff Cate had given warning they should not pass. Although the deputies, who were joined by half a dozen troops in the firing, discharged their shotguns above the heads of the crowd, the bullets wounded more than a score of persons. The three, John Dies, Benjamin Gomez, and Joseph Andrews, are kept in widely separated parts of the jail. A guard of deputies armed with shotguns was ordered to report for duty in the jail tonight to protect them. SAVES COMRADE FROM DEATH New Orleans, La.—Sederick Simpson, an eighteen-year-old boy, who works at the Chalmeter plant of the Brooklyn Co-Operative Company, narrowly escaped death in huge cogwheels here. Simpson was struck on the head by a huge, rapidly revolving belt and knocked into it. He was drawn into it and toward massive cogwheels, where he would have been instantly ground to death but for the quick action of Alphonse Darbigny, one of his fellow workers. Darbigny hearing Simpson shriek, tugged with all his strength at the belt, jorking it from the wheel just in time to Keep Abreast of Your Neighbor It is not enough to place your wares on your shelves and expect people to come in and buy simply because you have them there. A dozen people are selling the same wares and catering to the same trade that you are. The public wants to be informed about what you have to sell and the service you render. Offtimes a customer passes your place of business to buy the same article you have to offer at a higher price than yours simply because you have made no announcement through the newspapers or otherwise that you sell this article, and, at an attractive price. The merchant who advertises his wares is adding constantly to his number of customers, increasing his business and enriching himself while the goods of the merchant who fails to advertise are growing stale and rottening on his shelves.

Young, who at the time of his death was District Grand Master. The election of officers was the special order for Thursday morning. The contestants for the Grand Mastership were: J. A. Blume, Deputy Grand Master, and Dr. C. S. Brown, present occupant. The vote was: J. A. Blume, 88; C. S. Brown, 131. Dr. Brown was elected by 48 majority. The other places were filled as follows: Mr. Jno. A. Blume, Deputy Grand Master; Prof. J. H. Johnson, District Grand Secretary; Mr. Y. D. Garrett, District Grand Treasurer; Col. C. S. L. A. Taylor, District Grand Director; Mr. P. A. Richardson, District Grand Endowment Secretary. The supporters of Dr. C. S. Brown were quite elated over the securing of his services as District Grand Master. As President of the great Lott Cary Baptist Convention, he has won a national reputation as an organizer and executive. As Principal of the Waters Institute he has made for himself a reputation as a practical and common sense educator. His school has served well the community in which it is located and has been instrumental in improving living conditions and elevating the ideals of those who have come under its influence As secretary of the State Baptist Convention, he is regarded as one of the leading churchmen of the State, and as Grand Secretary of the Masonic Grand Lodge he has been one of the leading spirits in the administration of that Order for nearly two decades.
