NATIONAL REPUBLICANS CONTINUE TO DISCOUNT AFRO-AMERICAN SUPPORT FIRST IN LIVE NEWS ALL THE TIME VOL. XXI. NO. 36 NATIONAL REP CONTINUE TO AFRO-AMERICA Johnson Still Unconfirmed as Recorder of Deeds. Cottrell, Aspirant for Register's Post, Offered Minor Job CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED Washington, D. C.—Congress is on a vacation, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, lawyer, orator, political leader, unconfirmed, has been ill at his home, the President continues in the pursuit of his duties as he "sees the light," and the Colored Americans throughout the United States grit their teeth with dismay and disgust. The most hopeful sign of the times is the determination of the newspaper men of the Race, on agreement in Atlanta, Georgia, to push a campaign of education against the policy of Lily White" gratefully in this. This is a remarkable decision, and a departure from old time methods of "following in the wake." The newspapers of the country, unselfish, militant and determined, aided and backed by the general public, will let it be known in no uncertain terms that they cannot accept the policy of political slavery offered to them by the Republican party. This is a righteous sign, and points the way to a new era in Negro history. In Atlanta, in the state of pomeage and lynchings, the State where the "Committee of One Hundred" chairman by Secretary Miller of the Republican National Committee; in Atlanta, in the Booker T. Washington inade was joined and the Sharon began his march to the sea. Atlanta the home of Henry Lincoln Johnson, and the mecca of "Big Business" among Negroes, there has been started a program of educational propaganda that will bring to the attention of the President, members of the Cabinet, Congress, the Republican Party, the State Department, that the policy of political elimination is "persona non grata. In other words, they cannot get away with the "shell game." GEARLES A. COTTRILL, ASPIRANT Here's an incident worth while, enough to make the "blood bile" in the breast of every political patriot. Charles A. Cottill, long time political favorite, and unswerving backer of Warren G. Harding in the Republican National Convention, has been offered a job. On the "slate" Cottill was to have been Registrar of the Treasury, but the visasitudes have knocked him sky high, in that field of political and Presidential favor. The President, aided and abetted by the Hon. William Howard Taft, has formulated a policy, you know, and it does not mean that he is placing colored Americans in positions where they can "boss" white folks. That would be terrible! The Southern whites might all quit their jobs. So Cottill was offered after six months "writing the church," the enviable "position of Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue," Baltimore, with offices in Washington" at the munificent salary of $2,500 per year! There you have it, a practical demonstration of the "attitude of mind" on the value of Nerro leadership. CHAIRMAN ADAMS ASKED QUESTIONS The Hon. John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican National Committee, has been asked in a lengthy letter by The Associated Negro Press, to explain the attitude of the Committee on the trend of events in the Republican administration, to detail the details of the complaints expressed by constituents Americans, and is requested as much to the point. At the gathering of newspapermen in Atlanta a resolution was passed urging The Associated Negro Press to continue its effort to get négocative reply from Chairman Adams. Chairman Adams replied to the letter asking for a conference on the matter, but the same has not yet been held. Mr. Adams set a date for the conference, and I representable for the T. representative to meet the date because of a previous engagement. Mr. Adams has requested a later conference.

LEAGUE TO MEET IN CHICAGO NEXT Big Constructive Program Outlined at Atlanta Meeting To Be Put Into Effect (By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga.—The aftermath of the National Negro Business League session held here brings out the fact that the people are ready for "big business" in a business way. The events in a business way, the reaction, and the talks following, indicate that during the next year the people throughout the country, in racial circles, will experience their greatest advancement. Dr. R. Moton, president of the College, about the look. The program as outlined in his annual address is already being put into operation with a degree of enthusiasm mthat bids well to mean great success. Dr. Moton was declared at the big conference also by the Mayor of Atlanta to be the "leader of the Negro people of America." His frank and fearless annual address detailing the achievements and desires of the Race, is still being discussed. There has never been a public expression in the Southland, where the Negro race that has nearly expressed the will and feeling of the masses. CHICAGO NEXT YEAR In all probability the next session of the Business League will be held in the city of Chicago. The naming of the place has been left to the executive committee, and it is known that the committee, for the most part, including Dr. Moton, favor Chicago. President David McGowan, of the Chicago Business League, has signaled the intention of working out plans for a formal invitation. Mr. McGowan will call a meeting of the members of the League the latter part of September, at which time there will be a report of the Chicago visitors who attended the Atlanta session. There will then be an invitation to the Executive Committee of the National League to meet in Chicago, at which time the formal invitation to hold the August session will be made. If the invitation is accepted, it is proposed to greatly amplify the exhibits held in connection with the session. A committee will begin at once to arrange for a great national exhibition of Negro products, in business, manufacturing, education, agriculture, and otherwise. If this is done, the 1922 session of the League will undoubtedly be the largest ever held since the formation. Officers of Atlanta Business League, which has a paid executive secretary, have signified their willingness to give Chicagoans the benefit of their experience, and when the national executive committee meets, President J. C. Ross, and a number of Atlanta boosters will be in Chicago. Hunting Man Holds Hootch Dog Priceless Lound That Smells Out Liquor Is Much Sought by Connoisseurs Huntington, W. Va.—Bernard Staley of this city has a truffle hound upon which connoisseurs have placed a valuation of $1,000,000. The reason for this high valuation is that he is a "hood bound." Not a rum hound, mind you. The pup's name is William Jennings Volstead, but he is called "Bone Dry" for short. The other day "Bone Dry" disappeared for a short time. Later the din of barking brought his master to a stump in a neighboring field. The dog had unearthed a quart jar filled with a very fine moonshine "likker." The next day the pup discovered several gallons of moonshine in a creek bed. Staley has had to provide special safeguards in order to prevent the theft of the pup. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 Above is a nortrait of the Execsior Brass and Reed Band of Norfolk, Capt. George Elliott, director. This aggregation of musicians—the pride of Norfolk—won all the first honors at Boston last week during the Elks' Convention. Although the Execsior was in competition with famous hands like the Fifteenth New York National Guard and others of equal ability, the Norfolk boys easily carried off the honors. WEST GIVES GLAD HAND TO PYTHIANS Twenty-First Biennial Session Held in Topeka Was Big Event. Officers Re-elected By Acclamation GREEN RETURNED AS HEAD OF ORDER By Chus, Stewart For The Associated Negro Press Topoka, Kans.—Having conquered the East, the Knights of Pythias turned their attention to the West and closed the twenty-first biennial vantage of the order in Topoka with the West helplessly in their hands: To complete the story as one of union as well as action every officer was reelected by acclamation, from S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, down the line. Gov. Henry J. Allen, the great governor of Kansas, staged with the Pythians all the way. He welcomed them to the State, spent the day in John E. Lewis camp on Governor's Day and occupied the center of the stage in the reviewing torse all records to pieces. I have got better ground than the pursued Negro, to whom the pursued Negro has never appealed for mercy in vain. In the legislative sessions of the great Negro fraternity the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was revoked by an almost unanimous vote. New York was chosen as the convention city for 1923 and the Supreme Court instructed to inquire into the returns and to domain so that hereafter the figures will stand up to each other face to face. Topeka, capital of Kansas, found itself overrun for the first time. The entire population took a holiday during the Pythian siege; white people to see something new to their gaze and to see their newfound cause of their hault to knock off in the season of Negro triumph. Thousands came from every direction. The presence of the Pythians, their conduct, their looks, their deportment in convention, made countless friends for the race in these parts, and backed the KKK movement. The supreme lodge elected the following officers: S. W. Green, of New Orleans, was re-elected supreme chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Ernest G. Tidrington, of Evansville, Ind., was re-elected vice-supreme chancellor and head of the Supreme Court of Calanthe. Both are recognized leaders among the Negro in America.

At 9:30 o'clock Thursday, and the first thing in order was the report of E. D. Green, of Chicago, secretary of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium and the Temple Commission, which is supported by the supreme lodge. Green has held some prominent positions in Illinois, and was at one time member of the general assembly from Chicago. He has perhaps handled more money belonging to the Negroes of this country than any other official. The report made showed that the collection during the past two years had been $55,945.47, and the expenditures had been $29,768.71. The department operates a bath and sanitarium in Hot Springs for the benefit of the members of the Negro Race.

The report was signed by J. H. W. West-cook, W. J. John W. Robinson, Illinois, secretary; Roscoe C. Simmons, Kentucky; George A. Watty, Maryland; T. G, Nutter, West Virginia; W. A. Thompson, Tennessee; A. L. Garvin, Kentucky. THE "LOYAL" NEGRO (BY WILLIAM PICKENS) (By The Associated Press Press) "But the Yellow man is a menace." —Chicago Herald and Examiner. Weil, well, well! It's the first sure sign of impending conflict between America and Japan. THE WHITE FOOTBALL PLAYING THE LOYALTY OF THE NEGRO. The Herald and Examiner says that the Negro is all right, that his forefathers were brought here against their will, and that the presence of millions of American Negroes must be accepted as a fact—but that no more Colored races are guarded here, and their powers are "yellow." This means that the black race, or at least that portion of it in the United States, is no longer to be put down as the bottom race in American consciousness. The blacks are to be moved up a peg now, by the American fait; so that the geographies must no longer say "White," but "Black and Yellow." This will not suit in Mississippi, but it will suit best in a war between America and Japan. Look out, Black Brother, they are beginning to groom you for cannon fodder. There is one sure sign of war: when the white men gain in to stress the virtues, the rights, the loyalty of the colored population. The Negro wants something besides praises for "loyalty" this trip. Of course, this is the Negro's country. He has no other and won't have any other. The American Negro is more American than any other group. But he has such hope of feeling that way about it so long as the savagery of Georgia and Arkansas entails. Just listen at the *Hovald and Examiner*, how it sings: "The Negro belongs here—The yellow man does not belong here—" "The Negro is no menace. He is loyal. He is a willing soldier in war," etc. This is true, but why on earth don't you impress it on Mississippi? If the Negro is "not a menace," why should he be burned, lynched, jim-crowed, segregated, hemmed in, bullied and held down? We wish that the Negro could be permitted to feel that he is simply an American and a man in this country. As it is, we are not just certain hold much enthusiasm he should or would have in a war against "yellow men" because they are "colored." But if the Negro goes forth for volunteers clean up the backward civilization of Georgia and Mississippi, we can stake our reputation on the prediction that every American Negro from sixteen to sixty would join the army within a week. WHITE WOMEN OPPOSE THE DISTURBERS White Women Go On Record As Strongly Condemning Organizations That Breed Class, Race or Religious Hatred WOULD DENY USE OF PUBLIC BLDGS Special to Journal & Guide Lynchburg, Va.—At a meeting this afternoon during the quarterly session of the League of Women Voters of Virginia, (white), the board of directors passed resolutions urging the "suppression off clandestion" of associations which seek to usurp the prerogatives of the law, condemning the deprivation of organizations whose motive is to gender class race or religious antagonism." It was regretted that court houses, schools and other public buildings are used for meetings of these organizations. Other resolutions intended to further social welfare by legislation and to call attention to the fact that the league, in partism in nature and its mission, must themselves with one or the other of the political parties in Virginia. WIN RIGHT TO REBUILD HOMES WIN RIGHT TO REBUILD HOMES Court Decides In Favor of Tulsa Citizens Whose Homes Were Destroved In Riot The new ordinance passed by the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, following the recent riot, which extended the fire limits to restrict building in the devastated area so that colored people would have been unable to rebuild their burned homes, has been declared void in court, according to a telegram received today and made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York. The telegram, which is sent on behalf of a committee of prominent colored citizens of Oklahoma, says in part: "Tulsa's new ordinance extending fire limits to restrict building in devastated district was declared void by court today after court battle waged by our attorneys." Georgia Closes Record Peach and Watermelon Season (By The Associated Negro Press) Augusta, Ga., Sept. 7 — Georgina is closing the most profitable peach season in the history of the State.

Prominent Business Men In City Among the prominent business men who visited Norfolk during the past week were Mr. W. H. Crocker, of Suffolk, who stopped over a few hours en route home from Northern points; Mr. W. Gomez, secretary-manager of Bankers Fire Insurance Company, Mr. R, L, McDougald, of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank, both of Durham, N. C., and Mr. Rufus G. Byars, prominent in theatrical circles in Washington, D. C. TWO G. O. P TLOUGHTJURY TICKETS IN SHOULD HAVE FIELD CERTAIN FAVORED HIM John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond Banker-Editor Will Head Ticket To Be Named Sept. 5th, as Candidate for Governor PULL STRENGTH FROM REPUBLICANS (Sequel to Norfolk Journal and Guide) Newport News, Va.—The Feeley Theatre was crowded with a thousand or more citizens of Newport News and adjacent counties, who came in response to the call of P. A. Scott, J. Scott, and J. Editor John Mitchell, whoRichmond, Virginia, discuss the political crisis of the Negro in Virginia. In the absence of Dr. P. A. Scott, Chairman of the First District, Dr. J. Jones of Hampton, Virginia Sec. the meeting to order and introduced the committee to J. Thomas Newsome, of the State Committee to preside. Mr. Newsome in an element and pointed address told the reasons for the meeting and the purposes of its promoters and leaders as a leading citizen, Editor, Banker and Politician of the highest order. Mr. Mitchell began his address by announcing his subject, "WHICH WAY." He was eloquent from beginning to the end of my address and was frequently interrupted by applause, if it be possible to interrupt an old stager like the general. He insisted upon keeping the place in the room where he was sitting at the Negro and said no man or set of men had the right to deny him this privilege. He said there were three courses which the Negro might pursue. He might vote for Triangle; he might remain away from the polls, or vote for the ticket which might be nominated in Richmond in September, or vote for the convention in Richmond met. Ulylys considering the question, it was decided to value a ticket. He strongly inveighed against factional fighting among the leaders. The environment in Virginia was bigger than any one man and that there were many leaders in Virginia; that they should get on with it. He did not deny on this fight for human rights. This could and would be done; was certain, unless the Negroes were crazy. That he had an abiding faith in the wisdom, courage and patriotism of the great mass of Colored people in Virginia. He was very plain in his words, and he was a strong advocate of the United States to command to fall in behind white leaders, and told his hearers that we would select our own leaders, a right that no one can refuse us. Altogether his speech was full of superior knowledge of the rights of the Negroes, delivered with much force of speech and eloquence that raised and left his audience in the highest pitch of enthusiasm. What Happened at Norfolk The Chairman then called upon some of the delegates to express the kind of treatment that was received at the Norfolk Convention. First to respond was Honorable John H. Robinson of Hampton, Virginia, an exmember of the Virginia Legislature, that he was duly elected a representative of his County by a Convention in which there was a large majority of white men, and went to the Convention with his credentials and badge. He was emphatically denied admission, simply because of his color, and was old by a commissioner of law, that he was colored people were to be admitted to the Convention. Dr. J. J. of the City, also told of his experience which was similar to that of Mr. Robinson, the only difference was that Dr. Jones was Secretary of the Committee of City and State for issuing the credentials to white delegates who were admitted to the Convention. After this, Colonel Matt N. Lewis was called to the rostrum and was introduced by the chairman as the man who led the fight, which resulted in the election of Honorable John Mercer Langston, the great man who led the fight to greet from the Fourth District, Mr. Lewis advocated in his speech that he was for a straight ticket and pledged his full support to any ticket, which might be nominated in Richmond, and advised strongly in favor of nominating a ticket. He stood for full support and when it was denied them by any party, he stood ready to punish that party without regard to consequences. Conspicuous among those seated upon the rostum were; Messers, A. S. Morse, of Warwick County, Virginia, W. H. Burnett, of Matthews County, J. R. Tallafero, of M. H. Burke and Horace Redressell, all of York County, Theo, M. Harris of Williamsburg, S. L. Pierce of Toono, Virginia, A. E. Drake, J. E. Hubbard, Jeremiah Smith and Major R. F. Jackson, all of this city. Seated in the audience and boxes were many of the most prominent Colored ladies and gentlemen of Tidewater. The Eureka Quartette of Hampton was present and rendered many choice selections. It was plainly stated and explained that the women voted both women and men, white and black, were eligible to voice and vote in the Convention, which will be held in Richmond, Virginia, on the 5th of September, 1921, yet to insure fair representation to Newport News and the other Cities and Counties composing the Convention. Composition had decided to send special invitations to a number of persons (at least fifty from Newport News, Virginia) to participate in the Con- PROGRESSIVE IN EVERY RESPECT PRICE FIVE CENTS CLOUGHT JURY SHOULD HAVE FAVORED HIM White Carolinian Assaults Juryman Who Believed Colored Man's Testimony, and was Fined for Contempt of Court APPEALED CASE TO SUPREME COURT Special to Journal & Guide Riehlein, N. C.-Saventone cases of appeal from the First Judicial District will come up for hearing at the fall term of the Supreme Court which convened here Tuesday morning. All the cases but one are appeals from judgment in civil cases. The other case of Negro who is held in connection with the murder of two other men of his race. One of the most interesting cases, and one involving a new point of law, is the case where a white man assaulted a discharged juryman because the juryman made in his favor. The case was one in the case man sued the colored man. The jury on hearing the evidence evidently believed the testimony of the Negro cather than that of the white man. At the conclusion of the case the plaintiff assaulted one of the discharged juryman officer which was adjudged contempt of court, and fined $250. This case is now being appealed and will be heard during the second week of the fall term. To Fight Execution of Arkansas Negro Farmers The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York, today announced that efforts would be made to obtain from the Supreme Court of the United States a writ of certiorari in behalf of six Negro farmers condemned to die on September 14 for the connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. It is then contemplated applying to a federal court for a writ of habeas corpus. It was for appealing to the Governor of Arkansas in behalf of these men that Professor Robert T.

Harrison, of New York City; the Skidmore School of Arts of Saratoga, Spa.; Dr. J. Stansfield, of Washington, D. C. She has been a hard student of her art, and has been before the public practically all of her life. She has succeeded in developing a creditable music class—the Coberidge-Taylor Music Club—and is prepared to give instructions from the first steps, to the more difficult grades. At times she writes articles of interest to the music magazines, which are helps for other instructors. An article was published in the July edition of the *Ethude*, for which she was awarded a prize.

FOURTH BAPTIST CHURCH Revival services are now and have been in progress during the past six weeks at the Fourth Baptist church, South street, Portsmouth, Va., con- ducted by the pastor, Rev. S. L. Scott, assisted by Dr. Harris, of Newport News, Va. Never in the history of the church has a greater spiritual feast been held. Each night the building has been filled to its utmost capacity with eager listen- ers, as the evangelist, Dr. Harris, has preached with great power the Word of God. Great interest has been manifested, insomuch that we are now in the seventh week of revival. On last Sunday afternoon, baptizing was held at Pinners Point, Va. The pastor, assisted by Rev. Jiggetts, of Sherwood Place, immersing more than forty-five candidates. It was indeed a beautiful sight, and was witnessed by about two thousand persons. Rev. Scott, the pastor, deserves much commendation for the splendid way he is leading his flock. He is truly a great leader and is doing all in his power for the up-building of God's Kingdom. He not only is a pastor, but an evangelist and singer, as well, and is sometimes termed as the "Southern nightingale." Being talented thus, he is much in demand. During the past six weeks, more than one hundred and fifty persons have been added to this grand old church, while others have sought membership in the various sister churches. Rev. Scott has recently moved to the city of Portsmouth, having resided for five years in Norfolk, where he did much efficient work, especially in revivals. Portsmouth needs to be congratulated upon being able to adopt Rev. Scott as one of her citizens, as he stands in the foremost ranks of the ministers of this country. We pray that God may continue to crown his work with success, as He has done in the past. TRUXTON, VA.

Estes will act as the master of ceremonies for the huge event, and the pastor of the church, Rev. Dr. James A. Harrell, will introduce the speaker.

For the children it is a real season of rest and relaxation, but for the teachers it has come to be a time for study of the advanced theories of their work, in order that they may keep abreast of the exacting requirements of their calling. Teachers' institutes are now an established feature of school work, and their sessions usually fall in the vacation days. The work of these institutes cannot be too highly evaluated. The teacher who fails to take advantage of the opportunities for improvement they afford will soon fall behind and out in his work. We are all interested in the work of the schools. They stand upon equality with the Sunday school and the church in preparing the citizenship of the Nation for the wonderful responsibilities of self-government and carrying forward the tremendous industrial, business and financial interests, which have become among the largest and most important in the great big world of human affairs. Goldsmith wisely said that "the child is father to the man." The proper education of the childhood of a race or Nation is, therefore, one of the most responsible and important with which we have to do. Our industrialism has become so diversified, however, that it is of the utmost importance that the education of the child should make directly towards his future work as a grownup. Every child should have a trade, or profession, or business education, and his training, according to his bent, from the kindergarten through the college course should have this purpose as its primary ultimate. The opening of the schools throughout the land, which is now in progress, is one of the most important events of the year. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE welcomes the teachers and the pupils back to the school-room, and wishes for them a year of splendid achievement in their progress towards the finished work of the school-room. LEADERSHIP AND POVERTY BAD COMPANIONS In a community of liars nobody believes anybody and distrust corrupts and makes of no worth the entire community. There can be no contentment and prosperity where distrust, generally, prevails, where every one is suspicious of every one. In like manner, in a community of paupers, nobody is able to help his neighbor, however much he may desire to do so. One of the things that has brought the Afro-American people to the desperate political condition in which they find themselves, and from which they shall have trouble in extricating themselves, is the very general poverty of the men who have done their political leading for them. They have had to depend upon others to defray whatever expenses were incidental from the ward meeting to the National convention. This has been true for fifty years, and has provoked more political scandal than any one other thing in our civil life. Our leaders have had to accept money in the smallest and the largest work of the party in order to be of any service; they have been paid in money, very small money, before and during elections, and party, leaders have not felt obligated after elections to give them any of the remunerative offices on that account. That is the relation in which we stand to the present National Republican Administration, that we helped to elect, and that has thrown us overboard and left us to shift for ourselves. Leadership and poverty are bad companions. They will run to venality and subservency just as naturally as water runs from the mountain to the valley. Until the masses of the race become self-sustaining and self- reliant, able and willing to pay leadership for its service, we shall not be able to get anything out of politics that we are entitled to and need. This will come with the years, with the constant labor and savings of the masses, until the aggregate wealth averages a competence. Until that becomes a fact we shall have to grope our way in politics and accept what is given freely and not what we should command by our character, based upon intelligence and wealth. There is no need to be discouraged. Nothing was ever accomplished worth while by discouragement. It is our task to overcome our illiteracy and poverty and to elevate the character of the race to its proper place. We are doing it, and should keep on doing it. If we want competent political and other leadership, and we certainly do, we shall have to educate and pay for its services, as others have done, or we shall not have it. We can't expect black men to serve us as leaders when they have to look to white men for pay in cash or in offices. We have got to have it so that they will be responsible to us because they have to look to us for their pay in cash or in offices. There is no escape. The way up is long and winding, but there is plenty of room at the top. IGNORANCE THE REAL CURSE In a splendid editorial, headed "The Real Spirit of Evil," the New York American, in a Sunday edition, recently, said, among other things: "Slowly the human race, the hundreds of millions of little striving, struggling, sorrowful creatures, have built up the present supply of knowledge, lifting themselves slowly and painfully out of ignorant darkness, just as millions of tiny creatures in the ocean were build up the coral reefs that finally rise above the water into the sunshine. There is no real curse that has not ignorance for its foundation." All of which is very true. The ultimate of what we do know is a realization of how little we do know. We grasp the significance of this fact all the more easily when we gaze upon the heavens, the earth and the waters, in the grandeur, majesty and mystery of them, and consider, after all, how very little we know about their origin, their history, their power. The article says further: "Everybody knows that when we had slaves in the United States it was against the law to teach a slave to read. The slave owners knew that the man able to read is able to find knowledge in books, and that the man WITH KNOWLEDGE is not easily kept contented in slavery. It was wisdom that impelled slave owners to keep their slaves from knowledge. It seemed to be kindness, also, for as long as they were to be slaves the most important thing was to keep them ignorant that they might not realize their degradation and misery. We call this the age of enlightenment, when it is as much as any other the age of ignorance, since we do not know HOW TO LIVE. No; mankind does not know how to live, nor how to die. It goes about both things in a blind, ignorant way, much as Samson went about pulling down the Philistine temple, destroying himself in order that he might destroy his enemies. The Christian religion has failed to teach mankind the lesson of brotherhood and mutual helpfulness. Ignorance—comprehended in selfishness, vanity and greed, with the attendant cruelty—is still the primary curse with which mankind has to deal. And, instead of growing less selfish and vain and greedy and cruel, mankind appears to be growing more so. The voice of the Master could calm the wild turbulence of the waves, but the mad passions and prejudices of mankind have not been so subservient to the voice of the Master. STRAY THOUGHTLETS By James M. Harrison The miner troubles in West Virginia have taken on a major aspect. THE BREWER (With apologies to Barnyard Skiping) stew (Even as you and I). He kept his eye on his oil stove wick, And stirred the stuff off with his stick And prayed that it would produce a "kick" (Even as you and I) A cop there was and he smelt the brew (Even as you and I) And from that moment the copper knew (It was no pig-sty). So upon the home brewer he quickly lit While other coppers barred his exit— Poured out his brew, broke his whole outit; Oh, cruel coppers, why? A Georgian statistician states that his State is first in the production of peaches, watermelons, etc., but overlooked the fact to mention that it is the first in lynching. We could overlook these dog days, if we could get some catless nights. Many a person borrows trouble by lending advice. The reason you cannot tell the LEADING PAPERS OF STATE PROTEST DISMISSAL OF PROFESSOR KERLIN Strafing the Protester (Norfolk Virginian-Pilot) The Virginia Military Institute has added nothing to its prestige by dismissing from its faculty an instructor of eleven years standing because he ventured to demonstrate with the Governor of Arkansas against what he regarded as unjust sentences of death pronounced on six Negro rioters as an outgrowth of the Elaine, Ark., uprising of 1919. The rioters may or may not have deserved to be punished by death, and Professor Kerlin may or may not be right in protesting against their execution—these were not the questions that the Institute's governing board was called upon to decide. They had only to ask themselves if a teacher in a Southern college is by his occupation debarred from giving utterance to his deep convictions in a matter unrelated to his tutorial duties, and on a subject commonly regarded in the South as unit for public discussion. In effect, the board has ruled that he is debarred. The jealous protectors of the institute's fortunes are paired at Professor Keplin's indicate reflection on Arkansas' administration of justice and on those upon whom rests the solemn duty of enforcing the laws of that Commonwealth. They observe that it has rendered his further connection with the Virginia Military Institute undesirable, and that his retention of professorship, "instead of promoting the beneficial ends for which the institute was established, would prove harmful and detrimental thereto." Wherefore, Professor Kerlin, having declined to accept the board's invitation to resign, is declared fired. If Professor Kerlin is by nature one of that postiferous tribe that sees the Negro always in the role of an innocent victim of white prejudice, he is by nature an undesirable person to retain in a college faculty, North or South. Undergraduates drawing their conception of the race problem from so tainted a source are reasonably certain to suffer a permanent dwarfing of their judgment. But it seems that Professor Kerlin was not such a person, Educated in Southern colleges and further trained in the great universities of the West and North, there is reason to believe that he approached the race problem without bias. He had served in the Methodist ministry, had been an army chaplain in the Spanish-American War, had taught at the American Army University at Beaune, after the armistice, had written essays and poetry—had, in short, followed just such a varied intellectual life as would fit an individual of good moral character and sound understanding to discuss our major social problems without prejudice. Finally, he had taught acceptably at the Virginia Military Institute since 1910. Such an individual had earned the right to call into question the decision of a tribunal in a matter of life and death, without being branded with the disgrace of dismissal by the college that employed him. He had studied the case which he undertook to discuss and had a right to speak his conscience. No question of discourse to Arkansas' administration of justice was involved. As well denounce Zola for impinging the justice of the French government with his fiery "Jacusee". It is of more concern that the world shall always have its hold protestants, its scholarly challengers in the name of justice and truth, that that vested authorities he spared the embarrassment of having to modify their original judgments. No protester in the name of justice ever did a wrong to the innocent. The wrongs have all been perpetrated because protests and after-discovered evidence came too late to effect their rectification. The spectacle of a liberal institution of learning disciplining a teacher for during to raise his voice in the defense of even a condemned criminal, is not a thing that inspires. length of a snake until dead, is because it is safer to measure him then. The reason some church people wear long tail coats is perhaps to hide the places worn by backsliding. Since the parties have eliminated the Negro, the proposed joint debate between candidates Trinkle and Anderson will lose much of its spiciness. Life is full of inconsistences. The same day a deputy white man broke into the city jail, gang of colored prisoners broke out. Southern medical men say the President has been misled as to the pellegra. Perhaps it is only a Christian science disease after all. O give a thought to old Simon Hatch, He sewed his pants with a mcelon pitch. Press Opinion Does Barnstable Want To Trade Her Sheriff The New Bern Sun-Journal, which under the guiding hand of Carl Goerch is welcome for its breeziness in this dry, hot weather, speaking of the fact that a mob of 200 at Barnstable, Mass., attempted to storm a jail, remarks that "Hereafter Massachusetts probably will put the soft pedal on lynchings and will realize that there NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE The Discharge of Colonel Kerlin (Rickmond Times-Press/published) Has it come to pass in Virginia that a man must choose between the God-given right of free speech and his job? Has it come to pass that an educator engaging in teaching Virginia youth, in a school usually so broad-minded and progressive as the Virginia Military Institute must confine his vision to the pages of his textbooks or within the walls of his study room, daring not to raise his voice in protest when he believes a great wrong is being done to a people still in the infancy of their freedom, or to aid in the solution of a racial problem that has rocked this nation to its foundations? It seems such a pass has been reached. For one man did so dare and today he finds himself without a position discharged from his professorship at the Virginia Military Institute when he courageously refused to quit on request of the board of visitors. The man is Colonel Robert T. Kerlin. His offense consisted of writing a letter to Governor McRae, of Arkansas, protesting against the treatment of Negro defendants following the Elaine viots. His protest was based on constitutional grounds as well upon those of a broad humanitarianism. He did no more than voice what was in the minds and hearts of farseeing men and women of both the North and the South, who envisage racial conditions and conflicts above and beyond sporadic local outbreaks when inflamed unids engulf better judgment. Colonel Kerlin's offense in the eyes of the board of visitors lies in having "reflected upon the administration of justice in that State (Arkansas) and those upon whom the solemn duty rests of enforcing the laws therein." Thereby he has, the board believes, "rendered his further connection with the Virginia Institute undesirable," in that it would "prove harmful and detrimental thereto and embarrassing to those responsible for its conduct." The country at large needs the courageously spoken words of such men as Colonel Kerlin, who has studied the conditions which he and thousands of others seek to ameliorate. It particularly needs them from Virginia, where interracial relations are close to the ideal. States to the south of us and States to the north of us are looking to Virginia for guidance in the handling of the delicate race problem, for here, more than in any other State, it has censed to be a problem. And now Virginia, through one of its famed institutions, answers the call for guidance by discharging one of its educators who is fitted to lead, but who dared to insist on justice regardless of color. Unless there be reasons for the board's action which have not been given to the public, it must be pronounced narrow and provincial, altogether unworthy of that broad and kindly leadership of Virginia among the States. There is danger that it will undo much that has been done in the promotion of interracial harmony and good understanding are occurrences which the law-abiding people of a community cannot prevent." With no intention of being humpious in the matter, The Sun-Journal is asked to hand the devil a bit more of his dues. The sheriff and five deputies at Barnstable appear to have pretty well prevented the only mob that has come their way, and that without any assistance from the law-abiders. It is somewhat comforting to reflect that human nature is much the same in all sections of the country, and while the New Englanders, being damyankees, could not elect as fine a grade of men to public office as do we of North Carolina, the fact remains that their sheriffs seem rather more disposed to enforce the law than do ours. We'll never get anywhere with the removal of our own admitted defects by trying to hang something on Massachusetts—*Raleigh* (N. C.) *Times* Letter Which Caused Prof. Kerlin's Dismissal The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, New York, gives the following extract of the letter which Prof. Robert T. Kerlin wrote to the governor of Arkansas in behalf of the six Negro farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the Governor of Arkansas, he stated that the Negro farmers of Arkansas were the victims of Arkansas, they had neither instigated or begun the riots as was shown in the trial before the Arkansas Supreme Court; that they had armed themselves only after being threatened and molested; and 'that the convicted Negro farmers he sent tortured by whipping and the guerilla chair during their trials to make their duty as the white landlords wanted them.' "The time will yet come," said Professor Kerlin's letter, "when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity." Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas "justice," Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the board of visitors thereupon passed another resolution depriving him of depriving him of his professorship. TIDEWATER TALKS ON THRIFT BY EDWARD A. BAKER Assistant Treasurer Tidewater Bank & Trust Co. Put on the Spending Brake, Accelerate the Saving Rate. Like a daredevil driver, blindly hurting at top speed into a fog, are the people who go the fast pace in spending. In the mists of tomorrow lurks countless miseries. Like a daredevil driver, blindly hurling at top speed into a fog, are the people who go the fast pace in spending. In the mists of tomorrow lurks countless unforeseen emergencies and desires as well as all expected needs for money He who spends all as he goes is plunging into hidden danger. For safety's sake he should apply the spending brake and at the same time accelerate his saving rate. Some people have exercised the spending habit so long that it has become a part of them and now, as never before, is the time for them to tear away from that habit and start to building straight. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the wonders of Italy because instead of being vertical it inclines more than sixteen feet at the top. It is said that the builders started to construct this tower like any other, but when they discovered that it was not perpendicular, they kept right on with their work rather than tear it down and start over. Many people have built their lives in that manner. In youth they begin to spend freely the pennies and nickels received from their parents. A few years later when they started to work their spent all of their money for foolish pleasures. In their early twenties they perhaps made a half way effort to save, but like the workmen at Pisa, rather than tear down their habits they kept building on a tilted foundation. The tower of Pisa has leaned elver, extra inches in the last twenty years. Some day it will topple to the ground and be a total wreck. And now as to the spendthrift and the thoughtless spenders who are slipping a little farther every year, they, too, some day will topple over and become a total wreck. Saving money is foolish to the fool and a misuse to the careless, but to the man who thinks of the perils of poverty, ECONOMY is the first and greatest virtue. If you are too weak or too indifferent to save, put yourself in a position where you will be forced to SAVE. Be free from money worries by maintaining a growing thrift account here. It is one of the keys to complete happiness. TUDEBANK BANK & TRUST CO. The Live Bank in the Live City 738 Church St., Norfolk, Va. A. M. E. Church Dignitaries to Meet In Macon, Ga.

The replacement of the pound sterling to the gold dollar us a standard upon which Italian gold lira is based announced by Rome, is not likely to affect interest in exchanges, according to Italian hammers here, who explained that it simply means a change of the basis for the calculation of duties payable in gold and similar gold transactions. The dollar standard has been adopted, it is because the United States is Italy's largest economy and because New York has become the principal gold market of the world since the war. IVOR, VA.

Annual Exercises Of American Woodmen Held Sunday In our issue of August 27, there appeared an article concerning the annual exercises of the Woodmen of the World.

Jordan, who lived at the box car house with the Trigg family, was taken into custody. "I woke up and Jordan shoot twice," said Arthur "He had some money out of my stepfather's possession and put in the stove and threatened to kill me if I said anything about what I had seen." PLAN AUTO TRIP TO OCEAN REST One of the Labor Day diversions this year will be an automobile party to Ocean Rest, the beautiful ocean front property owned by Dr. Chas. S. Morris, and managed by his son, Chas. S., Jr. To give the citizens of Norfolk an opportunity to spend an hour or so at the resort, enjoy the property you own, breeze and inspect the property you own, Morris is conducting this trip Monday. The procession will leave in front of his office, 628 Church street, promptly at 1 o'clock sharp.

Fathers' Day was observed by the Sunday school. A splendid address to the Fathers was delivered by Mr. J. T. P. Cross. The Allen League meetings were intensely interesting. These societies were represented at the Allen League State Convention at Waynesboro this week by Rev. M. E. Davis, Miss Mary L. Jones, Mrs. Mamie L. Morris and Miss Edna Banks. The Woman's Mite Missionary Society is being represented at the State Convention at Staunton by Rev. M. E. Davis, Mrs. Almira E. Bowden, Mrs. Mamie L. Morris, Mrs. Rosa Robinson, Miss Mary L. Jones and Miss Pearl B. Richards. On next Sunday the pupil will be filled at 11 a.m. by Rev. H. C. Walker, of Wilberforce University, and candidates will be read into full membership. At 8 p.m., the pastor will administer the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. The Daniel A. Payne Adult Bible Class, C. C. Dogan, teacher, D. D. Brown, president, gave a picnic to Little Ray Beach on last Monday for poor and neglected children. OCEANA CIRCUIT The revival services closed at St Mark A. M. K. church last Friday night. On Sunday morning, the pastor, Dr. West, preached from John 12:32, subject, "The Magnetism of the Cross." Exactly at 3 p.m., Rev. A. L. Serugris, B. D., pastor of St. Mark A. M. E. church, Norfolk, his chair and congregation, worshiped with us. Dr. Serugris used as a subject, "Christian Liberty and Its Bounds," and preached a soul stirring sermon Rev. W. P. Jones preached at night and also the following nights of the week. The meeting was attended by helpers from all the entire county. The spirit and power of the Holy Ghost attended the meeting throughout. Rev. Ruffin, of Seatuck, deserves mention for the valuable assistance rendered. 26 souls were converted at St. Mark, and 10 at St. John, giving us 36 converts and one reclaimed. The record was broken for crowds and finance, having raised at St. John $125.40, and at St. Mark $230.24. The dinner served to the great crowd on Sunday was all that could be expected of it. Those entertaining at dinner during the week were: Bro. J. A. K. Mrs. Penny Wright, Mrs. Lauren Wilson, Mrs. Rosa Parker, Mrs. Lydia Ackers. Rev. West is attending the A. C. E. League and Mite Missionary Convention at Waynesboro and Staunton, respectively, this week. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Darkened skies, with intermittent showers kept a goodly number from attending services last Sunday morning. Those in attendance were blessed with a great practical sermon. Rev. Bowling's subject was, "Gallis, the Caraveless," Text, Acts 18-17. The pastor denounced the earlessness of many present day Christians as pertains to their health, money and religion. The attendance in the Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. was fair. At the evening service, Rev. C. T. Murray, pastor of the Loyal Street Baptist church, Danville, Va., delivered an instructive and effective sermon from the subject, "The Kindly Light That Leads." Text, Gen. 24:27. His discourse was full of precious truths and this message like a golden cord ran through it, that if saint or sinner would get in the way and there remain, Jesus would lead them safely over the rough and rugged path to inestimable joy above. There were three acessions to the church during this service. A cordial welcome awaits strangers and visitors. Come this Sunday. GRACE P. E. CHURCH The church school met in full session last Sunday morning with Supt. W. H. Merritt.at his post of duty. The devotionals were fine and spiritual music by the church school pianist, Miss Madeline Johnson. The chair started rehearsal under the direction of Miss Helen Lawrence for Church School Day on the third Sunday in September, 11 a.m., at which time we are expecting a splendid program. The parents are asked to be present with their children on that day. Everybody is expected to give a special offering for the parish. The church services were a delight. The sermon was most helpful, dealing with the promises of God to give us the land of rest based on our faith in Him. Num. 14:8. The congregation showed great interest in the sermon. The offering was very good. This Sunday is Holy Communion. All members are requested to be present at a special meeting after the service. The evening service begins this Sunday at 7:30. Strangers are always welcome. The above named met at Bay Shore Hotel on Friday, August 26th, Of- fered facers: Archdeacon James S. Russell, president; Rev. E. H. Hamilton, secretary. Members: Rev. D. J. Lee, Rev. M. B. Birechett, and Rev. E. E. Miller, Messrs. W. H Jennings and Robert Williams. Assessment of all churches for Diocesan expenses was made to the amount of $1,338.75, to be paid by the 31st of December, 1921. It was decided that steps be taken that a summer school be opened for Sunday school teachers at St. Paul, Lawrenceville, during the month of August each year. Places of meeting of convocation were arranged in the following order: Grace church, Norfolk, 1922; St. James, Warfield, 1923; St. Cyprian, Hampton, 1924; St. Mary's, Lacrosse, 1925; St. James, Portsmouth, 1926; St. Mark's, Braeey, 1927; St. Stephen's, Petersburg, 1928; St. Paul's Lawrenceville, 1929; St. Paul's, Suffolk, 1930; St. Paul's, Union Level, 1931; Ascension, Palmer Spring, 1932; Christ Church, Houston, 1933. THE COLORED WOMAN'S CONFERENCE AT CHRISTIANBURG, VA., AUG. 26-27, 1921. Under the auspices of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian Church a conference of one week's work, especially for the matured Negro woman, was held at Christiansburg, Va. August 20-27. There will be two similar conferences held, one at Stillman Seminary, Tuscaloosa, Ala., September 10-17, and another at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17-24. This conference work was organized about 1916 at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Its object is to reach as many women as possible who have some initiative in community work and who are leaders of thought and Christian work in their towns, and who have not the means nor the time to attend summer schools or take correspondence courses. There is definite work given in certain subjects, viz: Home Making—treating it from the material side and the moral and spiritual sides; Practical Nursing; Canning; Playground Demonstrations; Plain Sowing; Bible Study and Singing, also a series of lectures on various topics. Sunday morning, Rev. B. L. Downing, Roanoke, Va., gave an able and thoughtful sermon. Text, "Thy Kingdom Come." Rev. J. H. Longnecker, a returned missionary, lectured on Congo Belge, with stercoptera. Mrs. C. R. Vaughn spoke on the work of the Montgomery Presbyterian, Mrs. R. L. Roop, a very earnest talk on "Influence." Atty. T. C. Walker, on "Organized Efforts." Mrs. H. L. Organzeta emphasized "Co-operation—A Means to Bringing About a Better Understanding Between the Races" She explained the Inter-racial Commission. Mr. Allen Doggett gave a very fine stereopticon on Hampton Institute and its pupils. Mrs. Winnsborough took us "in mind" on a very interesting "trip in the Orient." The daily instructors were Mrs. W. C. Winnsborough, St. Louis, Mo., Superintendent and Organizer of the Conference. Mrs. Winnsborough gave many very helpful and instructive and constructive lessons on Community problems. Mrs. J. Calvin Stewart, Richmond, Va., was the instructor in Bible Study and Singing. She is well versed in this work and is an efficient as well as an inspirational teacher. Mrs. J. W. Whitaker, of Tuskegee, Ala., was so thoroughly imbued with her subject, "Nursing," that she made all the women feel how important was the place of the nurse in restoring the bodies of our loved ones. Sewing, under Mrs. E. A. Long, Christiansburg, Va., was instructive and was one of the classes where each tried to out-do the other in beautifully finished pieces. Miss M. E, Fishback, Louisville, Ky., was full of enthusiasm in teaching playground work and what can be the result of play. Every member of the conference, even the oldest, who was 75 years, could not forego her work. There were fifty delegates from the States of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia, representing twenty-five towns and cities. Though the conference is supported by the Presbyterian Church, its attendance is entirely undenominational. At this conference every protestant Church was represented. This conference was the result of much long, patient work and planning by Mrs. R. I. Roop, of Christiansburg, Va., assisted by Mrs. E. A. Long, of The Christiansburg Industrial Institute. BOLLING BROOK BAPT, CHURCH Sunday school was largely attended Sunday. Deacon S. G. Holmes presided and gave a helpful address to the school. On account of the meeting of the St. Mark's Order the morning service was not so largely attended. The annual sermon was preached at the A. M. E. church, Sewalls Point. The pastor preached an excellent sermon to the Willing Workers' Missionary Club, of which Mrs. Adn Holden is president. He took for his subject, "She Hath Done What She Could." The club raised for the church $35. * Mrs. Deans is spending two months with her mother and mother-in-law in Durham, N. C. The trip was given to her by the Missionary Club of the church. * Mrs. Annie Simmons, Mrs. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Nellie Wyatt, Mrs. Maggie Harrington and Mrs. Annie King have returned from Smithfield, Va., where they spent their vacation and attended the revival services. "Mr. John Bailey sends the pastor word that he will pay for the front window of the new church. Rev. J. E. Deans, pastor; S. G. Holmes, church clerk. The lecture at the Bank Street Baptist church Sunday, August 21st, by Miss Ruth Morris, drew a large and appreciative audience. It was inspiring and full of pathos from beginning appeal for young people to "Live the to end as Miss Morris made an earnest Life Worth While," and for heightened Afrien, to which place Miss Morris is a prospective missionary. Seated on the rostrum was Miss Viola Carter, who is also an aspirant to the missionary field. Mrs. Morris and family were present and were heartily received by the people of Bank Street church. SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH A goodly number attended the early morning prayer service. The Sunday school was called to order at 9:30 by the superintendent, Bro. G. C. Madison. Several visitors were present. At 11:30, the pastor preached a powerful sermon. After the sermon the pastor extended an invitation to all those who were not connected with any church to unite with us. One person came forward. At 3:30, Mr. Williams, a great lecturer, gave a splendid talk to the men on the subject, "Boys." He appealed to the men to have their boys as their partners to be a big brother for them in order that they may know the things of life to shun. At 5:30, the Junior B. Y. P. U. held their exercises. Miss E. M. Hawks, the delegate to the State Sunday School Convention, made an excellent report of the doings of that body. A very interesting program was rendered. At 7:30, Bro. Frank Burden led the prayer service. At 8 p. m. Rev. Brown, who is visiting Rev. Madison, preached to us. He spoke on the Universal Spread of the Gospel. Every heart was made to rejoice as he preached to us out of the depth of his heart. Accession, 1; collection, $175.28. HISS ESTHER MORRIS TO SPEAK AT BUTE STREET BAPTIST CHURCH, SUNDAY, SEPT. 4 Miss Eather Morris will lecture at the First Baptist church, Bute street, Sunday afternoon, September 4th, at 3 o'clock. She will be supported by some of Norfolk's and Portsmouth's best talent and the lecture will be given under the direction of Mrs. C. J. Graves-Montgomery. "A Faith that Will Not Shrink Though Pressed by Every Foe," was the subject of a heart-searching and soul reviving sermon delivered by the pastor at the morning hour. In his discourse he showed us the great need of unshakable faith in God during these hours of peril when all other forces have banded themselves together to overthrow the church of God, and scatter his sheep as a mighty wind scatterer the loose fragments of the earth. The pastor also congratulated Mr. C. K. Wallace, president of the Men's League, and his co-workers upon their efforts in purchasing a pulpit set for the church, which arrived last week. The Sabbath school and B. Y. P. U. are doing their bit to help the church in her struggle. The Sunshine Band, composed of little children, and the Henley Missionary Circle are giving the church their hearty support. Rev. J. H. Ashby Minister Notwithstanding the inclementy of the weather last Sunday our attendance was normal and the services were above the average in spiritual interest. The pastor preached at both morning and evening services. The services at 3 o'clock were held in celebration of our pastor's twelfth anniversary. Rev. R. H. Bowling preached the sermon, and he brought us a most delightful message. Last Monday night, our annual membership social was held with a large number of members present. After a spicy program refreshments were served by the Pastor's Aid Society. Expressions were had from Deacons A. L. Johnson, J. W. Woodous, Supt. R. B. Jones, Mrs Lelia Brown and Mrs. Emma Woodous, all of whom spoke complimentary and encouragingly touching the life and work of the pastor. The star feature of the program was a quartet with Mrs. Maggie Broude, soprano; Mrs. Tassie Edwards, alto; Mr. A. L. Brodie, baritone, and Mr. Leslie Edwards, basso. The service closed after taking a substantial offering for the pastor's vacation with which he left Tuesday for New York City and other points North. EMPORIA, VA.

Smith ‘The White Lillies made their debut in base balldom this season by being defeated by the Sons of Norfolk ball team to the tune of 7 to 1. Tho Lillies were there with the willow, but lacked very badly the team work and .the superior generalship of an efficient captain. Capt. Walier White, of the White Lillies, eame in for a severe knocking at the hands of the fans for his rotten judgment in changing the line-up of his team, when they had begun to work together smoothly. The fine battery werk of Woodhouse and White for the Sons and the exeelient support given them were the out- standing features of the gathe, only five hits being made off of Wood- house's delivery in 9 innings. He is credited also with 9 strike-outs. For the White Lillies the battery work of ‘Thornton and Nash should have won the game, as only 4 hits were made off of Thornton's delivery in 7 innings, but bad eaptainey and errors by Dukes at 2nd, Jones behind the hut. and Shields in rizht fiell were the undoing for the Lillies. Shortstop Johnny Green in this his first xame of the season showed up in true big show form, and in John Sonith at the hot corner, William Smith in middle and Clarence Merritt in lett garden, the Lillies have promising young material to form a nucleus for an A No. 1 ball team, Nash caught the best game of his career.

P,, of Halifax County, North Carolina, for the visit of young Charles Satchell Morris, Jr. The orator arrived in Weldon over the Seaboard from Norfolk on Sun- day morning and was met by a re- ception group cunsisting of Mr. J. H. Browning, President, Mr. R, A. Cheek, Secretary, Mr. P, A, Gee, Mr. C. C. Hannon and others. He wag immed. ‘iutely driven to old historic Carter's Chapel, where he was the guest at the morning service. At 3:00 o’elosk he addressed a vast crowd that jam- ‘med the chureh to its utmost capae- ity and many stood upon the outside striving to hear his eloquent address on, “My Race, My Country, and my Flag.” A large sum was contributed for the prosecution of the work of the N. AL ALC. PL Sunday evening Mr, Morris addressed large audi- ence of both races in the Halifax County Court House. ‘The wealthiest white merchant in’ the community. a state senator and others heard his brilliant address on, “The Hour Has Come,” in which he plended for bet- ter interracial reiations, and an a- wakenting to the eppurtunities of the new ert. Mr. Morris was the home quest of Mr, Ro AL Cheek, and on Monday moraine early the party set out for a tour over North Carolina roads in Mr, Cheek’s new Chevrolet. A number of smuill towns were visit- ed, the men traveling fully 100 stiles and returninys at 6:00 o'clock to Weld- on. ‘That night despite a_ terrific shower a crowd assembled which jam- med the Odd Fellows Hall assenibled to greet the youthful Demosthenes aud to hear him speak upon “The Blocks with which We Build.” In- troduced in masterly manner by Dr, J. A. Tinsley he swayed the great assembly at will for fully an hour with inexorable logic, brilliant humor, and classic oratory.” A fervid ova- tion was tendered him at the close.
