Mitchell Heads Ticket for Governor NEWSOME NAMED ATTORNEY GEN'L "LILLIES" AND POLITICS "The 'lily blacks,' a faction of the republican party of Virginia, have nominated a State ticket, to be voted or in November, the republican party of Dumfries will hope even when united; will go to the polls this year divided. Still, for several reasons, the campaign will be worth attention, and will attract attention to the party. "The 'lily blacks' are appealing for votes with a ticket which was nominated in a convention composed exclusively of white delegates. They are making an experiment by keeping the democratic organization under control, to assure him a square deal in the administration of affairs in case of success, but they want to cut out the work so as to attract the support of men dissatisfied with the democratic organization, supporting a republican organization under the control exclusively of white men. "The 'lily blacks' resent this, and so have been. This ticket they have put up is an appeal to the colored voters of the state. "The question, then, is, how many democrats will be attracted to the 'lily white' ticket, and how many colored republicans to the 'lily black' ticket? "For some years it has been asserted that the Southern republicans could achieve local control only by a subordination of the colored contingent of the party. The 'lily whites' of Virginia would putting the suggestion to the test." WOMEN MEET AT STAUNTON The Virginia Conference Branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society of the A. M. E.

Attorney Hodges Misrepresented Newspaper reports regarding the matter in police court in which Attorney V. C. Hodges was involved have been erroneous and misleading, and the Journal AND Guide publishes the journal in the Novy Folk Post from Mr. Hodges' attorney which will serve to greatly clarify the matter. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 6, 1921 Editor Norfolk Post, Norfolk, Va. Dear Dr., In your issue of the 6th, under the caption "HODGES IS FREED?" there appeared the following: "V. C. Hodges, negro lawyer, was dismissed in police court Tuesday on the charge of receiving money he knew to be stolen. "Hodges had claimed that, he had been retained by a negro client who afterward confessed to the detectives that he had stolen money from a boarding house. (Suppose you meant that the detectives investigated the case, they found that Hodges had beat them to the place where the money was hidden. "Police Judge Simmons ordered that the money be turned back, and this was done by Hodges." The paragraph immediately preceding is entirely at variance with the facts. The reportorial inaccuracy exemplified in said paragraph evidences either the absence of the reporter upon the rendition of judgment by Police ability, on his part, to misinterpret ordinary English. Attorney Hodges was not dismissed upon any promise to make restitution; he was dismissed because no evidence was adduced which showed he was guilty of any act involving moral turpitude. In other words, he was not guilty as alleged, the evidence of the prosecution not even establishing a prima facie case. He has not returned the money. What his intentions are relative to restitution, no one who knows him questions, saying that you discountenance reports so dissimilar to facts, and requesting you to publish the facts, I am Very truly yours.

PROGRESSIVE IN EVERY RESPECT PRICE FIVE CENTS RACE PAPERS TO BOMBARD REPUBLICANS New Administration Policy on Race, Object of Determined But Not Vindictive Propaganda By Colored Press MOVEMENT IS NATION-WIDE Washington, D. C.—President Warren G. Harding, and the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, John T. Adams, are getting some news from the colored newspapers these days. The colored newspapers give them some information that, by all right and proper, should carry for them the greatest success. President end of the country to the other the newspapers have risen in mighty protest against the program of surrender recently inaugurated by the party of Abraham Lincoln, foundered in the history of the there has never been more universal and uncompromising wall of dissatisfaction and disgust. The significant part of the editorial expression with reference to the President is that there is little or no vindictiveness but carry a spirit and tone of resolute determination that cannot be misunderstood. The central theme of the streams of logic pour forth from the fertile pens of Negro editors is bound up in the one word of "Disappointment." The newspapers the country, during the last election of Warren G. Harding for President. Editors, known in the group to be radical in tendency, hid down their hamsters and picked up a horn and a mouth, urged the people "that the Republican ticket." Now, for the great new President, so early in the game, to step from the path of retitude, and for the great Republican States, to argue "that the Whites" has caused consternation that will not fall.

Suffolk Sunbeams Take Two From Norfolk Primrose Gts. The Suffolk Sunbeams took two straights from Norfolk here August 30th and 31st. The first day's score was 11-1, and second day, 11-0. Norfolk making one rux in two days. "Slim" Builey doing mound duty for the home team, had the visitors guessing throughout the game. The one run Norfolk made in the first game was on a bad bounce over the fence. But for this it would have been a shut-out in each game. "Fancy" Berry pitched the second game, and one Giant got as far as 3rd base. The whole Suffolk team played good ball, Casey, of Suffolk, got a home run in the second game, winning a large watermelon. Suffolk Sunbeams Walk All Over Elizabeth City Bear Cats, Taking Both Games The Suffolk Sunbeams had an easy time with Elizabeth City, taking two straights. First day, 11-4; second day, 8-3. "Iron Man" Newby, of Suffolk, pitched a pretty game. Brown, of Elizabeth City, was knocked from the mound in the fifth, and Winslow, who relieved him, didn't fare any better. The second game was the same story. "Slim" Bailey gave them knock-out drops and put them all to sleep. Cartwright, pitching for Elizabeth City, was taken out in the fifth, and Elizabeth City used all her pitchers, but none could stop the heavy hitting Sunbeams. Elizabeth City fought hard, but it was just too much Suffolk, that's all. Mgr. Backus was much pleased over the success of the week, playing four games and winning them all.

MOTON Principal of Tuskegee Institute (Reprinted from The Times, London) Editor's Note—In the American edition of the London Times of July 4th, 1921, there appeared a remarkable article on "The Negro of Today," by Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. For its informative and inspirational value we are reprinting the article in installments in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE. This, the first installment, deals with religious development and progress in education. Next week's article will deal with our economic and social progress. The Times said editorially of Dr. Moton's article: "Nothing in all the Number, however, more deserves to be read with attention than Dr. Moton's essay on "The Negro of Today." Dr. Moton, himself a full-blooded Negro, is Mr. Booker Washington's successor as Principal of the Tuskegee Institute. He is recognized as the leader of Negro thought in the United States, and as the first champion of Negro progress, his influence being constantly exerted against all those who are preaching to the colored man the doctrines of race hatred and revolt. It has to be remembered that there have recently occurred in the United States many things calculated to excite the anger of the Negro; conspicuously the terrible murders and outrages in the State of Georgia and the Oklahoma race riots. That Dr. Moton can at such a moment write with the moderation, gentleness, and charity which he shows is a great achievement, and no small testimony to the character of the man. The story which he tells is a remarkable one but still more remarkable is the spirit in which he tells it, so that his argument stands out luminously persuasive against the dark background of present passions. We are confident that in writing this article Dr. Moton will be found to have done a real service to the Negro cause." L—INTRODUCTORY. The aftermath of the war has involved an inevitable adjustment of values and relationships in all parts of the world. Accordingly, it is not surprising that the influences which have created a demand for readjustments in industry, in commerce, in government, and in society generally—it is not surprising that these influences should also beget a new concern in the situation of the Negro in America, and stimulate in the Negro himself a new consciousness of the incongruities of that situation when viewed in the light of the ideals and principals for which he sacrificed at home and served abroad throughout the period of the war. Many persons in America, familiar only with the fringe of Negro life, have been rendered very uneasy by the unrest that is every where apparent among Negroes. This unnessiness led them to predict the worst possible things of the returned Negro soldier, and in many cases created a very real excitement over the possibilities of uprisings and conflicts between whites and blacks, especially in the South. It is not to be denied that there is unrest among Negroes, and in some quarters race prejudices have become more intense. But it is as true that the wave of Negro migration from the South into the North and West, called "The Exodus," doubtless provided a sort of safety-valve for certain more restless natures, while at the same time there has been in other quarters an equally marked progress toward better understanding and mutual helpfulness between the races. Needless Harms But closer acquaintance with the currents of thought among Negroes and a more intimate knowledge of the facts of Negro life and progress would set at rest most of these fears by the revelation that, whatever unrest and dissatisfaction exist among Negroes today is at bottom the necessary consequence of a long period of stady progress and development in Negro life which has been normal in everything but the time element. It has now been suddenly set in bold relief by the events and opportunities of the war. What follows here is a brief review of that progress. The assertion has now become true that the Negro has made the most remarkable progress in the last 50 years that history records of any people in a similar length of time. This statement does not overrate the Negro's capacity for absorbing the white man's civilization, nor yet does it ignore the fact that the race has had the advantage of most progressive civilization. What follows, however is an attempt to give a substantial meaning to the statement by supplying some of the facts and figures upon which it is based, and to give a warrant for the hopes and predictions of his friends concerning the Negro's future. H.—RELIGIOUS DEVELOPMENT Up to this time the Negro's most notable progress has been in his religious life. This may be due to the fact that it is in this field he is had the largest freedom; and it is significant that it is in this phase of NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE his life he has been most independent. But of the influence and control of the white man. The vast majority of Negroes are members of or associated with either the Baptist Church or the several branches of the Methodist Church, in both of which bodies they have established their own organizations and conducted their own affairs with a highly developed ecclesiastical machinery. So strong has been their allegiance to these two denominations that Dr. Booker T. Washington used to say, with his characteristic humor, that if ever you discovered a Negro who was not either a Baptist or Methodist, some white man had been tampering with his religion. View that as we may, the fact remains that Negro life is still largely dominated by the Church, which, especially in the early years following emancipation, was the chief organization for social progress within the race. Even before emancipation, this phase of the life of the Negro received an attention out of all proportion to what was done for the race along other lines, so that it is a matter of record that there were more than 300,000 Negro communicants in the white Churches of the South, before their emancipation gave them opportunity to establish their own Churches. Even before this time, Churches had already been established by free Negroes for their own religious development. Generosity to the Church Accordingly we find that in 1860 there were 700 Negro churches, with 600,000 communicants and church property valued at $1,500,000. In the 53 years following we find these figures to have increased to 43,000 churches, 4,800,000 communicants, and church property valued at $860,000,000. But behind these figures lies the fact that probably no race gives a larger proportion of its earnings to the support of religion. A recent survey of the churches of Macon County, Alabama, in which Tuskegee Institute is situated, revealed the fact that in this county, which has a rural school equipment scarcely excelled by any county in the South, to the furnishing of which the coloured people themselves have contributed largely—in this county, Negroes give $29,000 a year to their churches as compared with voluntary contributions of $8,000 a year toward the public schools. In the same way, it was a Negro district that was the first to report its quota to the Centenary Drive of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and that quota was not only over-subscribed, but also paid in cash. In the Spring Drive of the Inter-Church World Movement in 1920, it was, again, a Negro denomination that was the first to subscribe its quota. These facts reveal, from one angle at least, the extent to which the Negro has accepted the religion which inspires the standards of American life. It is obviously wise to make the largest possible use of its power and influence in the solution of present problems. Quietly, but effectively, it has proved itself not only an instrument of progress within the race, but one of the surest conservators of all that makes for peace and good will between the races. The Negro Church has not continued its activities to our own country, but has extended its work into foreign lands. The aggregate amount of foreign missionary work done by all the Churches is noteworthy. It is reported that Negro churches contribute $100,000 annually to foreign missionary work. They are today supporting more than 300 missionaries and 200 churches in these fields. Negro Baptists are carrying on work in five foreign countries, including Panama and Haiti. The African Methodist Episcopal Church is carrying on work in the British West, Indies and Africa. This denomination is supporting two Bishops in Africa and has recently elected a Bishop for South America. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church also has a Bishop for Africa and has extended its work to South America, particularly in Brazil. It has also come to light that of the 100 churches in America giving the largest contributions per member for foreign mission work in 1918, the third on the list was a Negro church in Edwards, Mississippi, which gave, on the average, $11.32 (£2 5s. $1 3/4d.) per member. III.—PROGRESS IN EDUCATION The progress which the Negro has made in education is perhaps more widely known than any other phase of his development; it may be for the reason that for years there has been a definite and sustained propaganda on behalf of Negro education, in which both white and coloured people in all sections of the country have co-operated. This progress is best summed up in the statement that illiteracy among Negroes has been reduced from 90 per cent. in 1868 to 20 per cent, in 1920, according to the best available reports on the subject. There are now over 2,000,000 Negro children in the public schools, and over 100,000 in the normal schools and colleges. The 699 coloured teachers of 1867 have increased to more than 40,000, of whom some 5,000 are teachers in industrial schools, normal schools and colleges. These figures signify on the one hand a progressive assumption of the responsibility for Negro education by the State; they also reflect a large degree of enterprise on the part of the Negro himself in the establishment of his own schools, most of which in large degrees by virtue of the generous contributions of white people in all sections of our country But more than anything else, they indicate the strong determination upon the part of the race to secure the advantages of education in spite of all difficulties, discouragements or opposition. The figures for advanced education are equally interesting and informing. There were in 1866 only 15 colleges in the entire country to which Negroes were admitted. Today there are 500 normal schools and colleges for Negroes with an enrollment of more than 100,000 students. Out of this number 17 schools are devoted to the training of Negro girls and women exclusively. Beyond this, however, careful observation will disclose the fact that in most schools for Negroes the girls outnumber the boys, and this is especially true in the advanced grades. Passing over the economic significance of this fact it carries with it the hopeful prospect of good foundations for the family life of the race in the training and development of its woman hood. A national authority on education has observed that the Negro race is the only race which today is giving more effort to the education and training of its women than to the training of its men. Value of School Properties The progress which the race has made in education is further reflected in the increase in the total valuation of Negro school property. Starting with little or no property—for many of the early schools were conducted in churches and buildings in use for other than school purposes—the property now owned by secondary schools and higher institutions of learning is valued today at $25,000,000. This represents a large degree of effort on the part of Negroes toward their own education together with the activities of the several church boards, and does not include values in public school property. So also has the total expenditure for operation of these schools increased to the yearly sum of $15,000,000. That the Negro has kept alive his early zeal for education is shown in the fact that, whereas of the $700,000 spent for the education of the Negro in 1866 Negroes themselves contributed $80,000; today Negroes are contributing $1,500,000 of the $15,000,000 expended annually for their education. This, it must be remembered, represents wholly voluntary contributions from a great number of modest contributors, and is over and above their contribution toward their own education as taxpayers. Another phase of Negro education which is equally remarkable has developed in the last half-dozen years under the inspiration of the Rosenwald Rural School House Building Campaign, a movement inaugurated by Mr. Julius Rosenwald, a wealthy and distinguished Jewish citizen of Chicago, with the co-operation of Dr. Booker T. Washington. This is a movement in which white and coloured citizens co-operate in building an up-to-date school house for coloured children in the local community with the assistance of the State and of Mr. Rosenwald. When one thinks soberly of what is taking place in this kind of cooperation, it will take only a little time to reach the conclusion that so many have reached, that is one of the most helpful and effective movements toward real progress for both white and black that is going on in the South today. What is being done in connection with this school building effort shows that the North, as represented by Mr. Rosenwald, and the South, as represented by white and coloured citizens, and the State school authorities can co-operate in a highly successful effort for general community welfare. What tangible results have been accomplished are best seen in the following table which presents the amounts contributed by each of the parties to this movement up to November, 1910, all for the building of better school houses for Negro children. There have been 900 schools erected, to which there was:— contributed by the State .. $491,436 White .. 91,107 Negroes .. 544,560 Rosenwald Fund .. 324,180 INQUIRIES OF TREATMENT It should not be understood from what has been said that the needs of the situation are being met with adequate equipment and facilities. Indeed, the equipment is woefully inadequate, as a visit to Negro schools in almost any section will disclose. The truth is that not only are the existing faculties inadequate, but in some States there is still a vast disproportion between the Negro's own contribution to the public funds for education as a taxpayer and the amount he receives from these same funds for the education of his children.

GENERAL DAUGHERTY WILL ENFORCE THE LAW Rigid enforcement of the laws of the United States is just as necessary and as urgent as rigid enforcement of the laws of the States and municipalities. That the laws should always be just and bear equally upon all citizens goes without saying. That they do not always do so is a crying shame, which is not only scandalizing the Nation in the estimation of foreign Nations but threatening its existence at home. Speaking before the American Bar Association, at its annual meeting, at Cincinnati, Attorney-General Harry M. Daugherty, of the Federal Department of Justice, emphasized the fact of respect for law and law enforcement as among the things he should insist upon. In stating the ease he said: "The right of property on the one hand of life, of liberty, of the pursuit of happiness on the other, are not antagonistic and hostile, to be set off in terms of opposition. Material wealth is the handmaid of spiritual achievement—that is, of intellectual, social and moral achievement. All progress is conditioned on the principle of conservation. Conservation or preservation as it is usually termed, of the wealth of the world, whether it be in the realm of the material or spiritual is conditioned on the supremacy of the law. If there is one fact that history teaches above another, it is that the rights incident to wealth and the rights furnishing the opportunity to enjoy spiritual, intellectual, moral and social things are conditioned upon the supremacy of the law." We are glad to have the Attorney-General place himself squarely upon the principle of law and law enforcement. What constitutes law and what does not has got to be settled. State laws which conflict with the constitution in the matter of citizen rights and immunities have got to be more specifically defined and covered by appropriate legislation. The life of the Nation requires it. --- COLONEL KERLIN'S DISMISSAL It is much to be regretted that the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, has lost the services of so capable and broad minded a man as Colonel Robert T. Kerlin, whose intelligent and generous sympathy for the Afro-American people has got him out of his job as Professor of English at the Institute. The immediate provocation was a letter Colonel Kerlin wrote Governor MacRae of Arkansas pleading for fair play for the survivors of the Elaine slaughter, in 1919. Colonel Kerlin is a veteran of two wars, and has served in the faculties of several institutions of great influence, and we dare say he will have no trouble in finding another and perhaps, better job. We hope so. Colonel Kerlin has been taking much interest in Afro-American poetry and newspaper publications, and has written several appreciative articles and a book on related race questions. We dare say he will write more on the like questions and find plenty of good markets for his output. Broad and liberal thinking, it appears, is not encouraged by American schools of higher learning. Complaint is constantly being made against the tendency to narrowness and bigotry in university policy. Prof. Scott Nearing was sometime ago deprived of his professorship in the University of Pennsylvania because of his economic views in conflict with those of the University. Independent thinking is the keynote of progress. Broadness of sympathy for justice and fairplay is an essential of progress. LINCOLN JOHNSON'S APPOINTMENT HELD UP. We are all interested in the confirmation of the appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia, to be Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia; we are interested because he is an Afro-American, and the first and only appointment made by the President of an Afro-American; concerning appointments of whom, it is alleged, the President has announced he will make none in the Southern States, where they are offensive to the Democratic enemy, and but a few in the North and West. So far the few have been practically, none, and it has been six big months since the President we voted for was sworn Well, the Senate adjourned for a short recess without confirming Mr. Johnson's nomination. No reason for the hold-up has leaked out of the Senate. The Washington Eagle, however, says that the appointment has been held up because of certain charges made by certain members of the race. Perhaps this, may be true perhaps it may not be. Mr. Johnson has made many enimies, not only among members of his own race but among white leaders of the party, some of them in the Senate, by the very outspoken demands he made upon the party for fairplay for the race at the Chicago convention and since the inauguration of the Republican Administration. We find that white Republicans no more like to be talked to plainly about race rights and wrongs than Democrats do, white Democrats, as most of the black ones have been forced off the map. "WHAT SHALL WE DO TO BE SAVED? Only people who find themselves in a desperate situation are constrained to ask, "What shall we do to be saved?" For the most part, people move irresistibly towards a situation of desperation without counting the cost, and this can never be done with safety after they have got into it; they must do that before they get into it. If people and Nations would figure the cost always before they engage in doubtful enterprises they would offer tener than they do. If the Germans had done this before they plunged Europe into war, in 1914, we should all be in a better condition today and the German Nation would not be mortgaged to their enemies. So with out civil war; if the slaveholders had counted the cost they may not have precipitated it. The Afro-American people are in a desperate situation by no fault or seeking of theirs. They have drifted into it by the faults and seeking of others. Their purpose has been to make the most of the situation into which they have been forced. They are doing that now. They have had much assistance, and they are having it now, from certain of their white fellow-citizens, and, we believe, they will continue to have it, until they attain to a condition in which they will be accorded a fair measure of justice and fairplay. In his splendid address before the Tidewater Peninsular Baptist Church, at Lamberts Point, recently, much of which was printed in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of August 27, Rev. J. H. Ashby, Moderator of the Association, after recounting the heroic efforts the race has made to measure up to the requirements of Christian manhood and citizenship, felt constrained to ask, "What shall we do to be saved? In answering his own question he said: "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 selves alone, for we realize that there are those 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. The Lord may grant our desires in all of these things, and we believe He will, but they will not avail us anything unless we have the equal protection for our lives and property under the laws, and the administration of them, and an equal opportunity with others to earn a livelihood in the common industries of the country. We believe this to be a reasonable conclusion. If the Lord will give us what Dr. Ashby desires for us perhaps the necessary things to make them effective which we name may be graciously added. It is to be hoped that they will be. Experience teaches us, however, by example of others, that equality of citizenship and economic advantages are of slow delivery to those who are denied them because of race or caste, and must be be fought for stubbornly through the lagging years, as the Jews have had to fight for them through twenty centuries, and are still fighting for them. Our expectation is that we shall win, but that it will require much of time and patience and hardship before we do so. Editorial Squibs Are you saving your money? * * * * The K. K.

Press Opinion THE ADMINISTRATION POLICY. (The New York Age) There has been some hasty criticism in the Negro press of the manifestations of President Harding's policy in the matter of appointments to office, as it has been outlined, in its relation to the Negroes of the South. The Age has been loth to believe that the President had departed from the position out lined in his various utterances made on the race question during the campaign, and while questioning the wisdom of certain policies of a Lilywhite tendency, initiated in Virginia and Georgia, it has reserved its opinion for a more definite expression of the intentions of the administration. We have been informed upon the most reliable authority that President Harding still means to live up to the utterances made by him on the race question previous to his election as President. His chief desire is not to intrafly racial prejudices in the South by his policy toward the Negro, especially in the matter of appointments to office, but to better conditions by building up a Republican party composed of the clading citizens of both races. The deepseated color prejudice born of slavery, with which the whites of the South are so intensely imbued, according to the President's view of the matter, is only to be dispelled by building up such a party as is outlined above. Outstanding white men of the South with the co-operation of outstanding Negroes, are expected to join in building up such an organization, which shall stand for the best thought and sentiment of both races. In encouraging such a movement, the President is prepared to do all in his power to lessen racial prejudices and to avoid giving rise to racial friction. In the matter of appointments to positions in the South, such as judges and other officials charged with the administration of the laws, the President will seek to place in office the best men from the stand point of enforcing the law with equal justice and impartiality. These appointees are expected to be men of character and standing, who will accept office only on the understanding that they will carry out the policy outlined by the administration. Such a policy is expected to work out to the advantage of Negroes to larger degree than the doling out to them of local positions that would arouse racial antagonism and aggrigate the friction already existing. This does not mean that Negroes will not be appointed to offices from the South, as well as in the North. Assurance has been given that appointments will be made of Negroes from every State. Those from the South will most likely be located in Washington, where local sentiment will not be so strongly against their appointment. In the North appointments will be made to local positions, where the numbers and influence of the race may justify it. The President believes that the traditional prejudice of the South requires more time and patience to work out the proper relations of the two races upon a basis of harmony and justice. He wants to help the Negro to rise to his proper position as a full fledged citizen but he thinks that the best possible way to accomplish this is to go slowly and work for a lessening of the friction. Thus such a policy of conciliation and firmness, it is expected that the Republicans will be able to build up a real party in the South, a thing that does not-exist today. It is thought by those in the President's confidence that this policy will work out to the advantage of the race, rather than to its disadvantage. If a sufficient number of the leading men of the South of both races, possessed of intelligence and character, could be induced to enter heartily into such an arrangement as this, it might be that the sanguine expectations of the administration would be realized. At any rate it is certain that the experiment will be tried. In making this trial of the plan mapped out, the President may be counted upon as being insistent upon a square deal all around. It is up to the South to demonstrate whether such a plan can be worked out in good faith. THE EXPULSION OF PROF. KERI.IN. (The Nation New York) No cruder exhibition of tin-pot administrative briracy has disgraced our educational annals than the pulition of Robert T. Kerlin from Virginia Military Institute, Colonel Kerlin's offense as inblushingly preserved to him was that "by reason of his interposition in the Elaine insurrection cases as exemplified by his letter to the Governor of Arkansas, reflecting upon the administration of justice in that State" "he had 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." The letter in question (it was published in The Nation for June 15) was a noble dignified, and inspiring appeal to conscience. It urged clemency for the wretched Negroes who, revolting against intolerable peonage and demanding merely their rights, found themselves caught in the mesh of rioting. The Nation does not feel that Professor Kerlin is entitued to any condolences—on the contrary, it is the Virginia Military Institute that suffers. He was far too big a mon for the place. What Southern institution will seize the opportunity to secure the services of this distinguished Southerner? NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE A lynching recently occurred in one of our Southern counties under, what it is shameful to say, are the usual conditions. A white man was murdered, supposedly by a Negro who was suspected, pursued, captured and safely lodged in the county jail. Then a mob of cowards, inspired by a few leaders who by their very activities insult the law enforcement agencies of their State, gathered and stormed the jail and took the defenseless prisoner out and hung him. A newspaper in the capital of the State published an excellent and seathing criticism of the whole thing, pointing out how such conduct brought disgrace upon the whole State. Some citizen of the community wrote to the city paper in defense of his county, admitting that the action taken was hasty and unfortunate, but saying that the murder was a most brutal one, which was true, and was liable to provoke the consequence that followed in any community where the citizens "had red blood in their veins." It is just this attitude that provokes so much of our mob violence. People encourage the idea that it is a manly and courageous thing to collect one to three hundred comrades and go to a jail and take out one defenseless man and hang him. If our young men could only grasp the fact that nothing is more cowardly than such conduct, half the battle for decent law enforcement would be won. The really brave, "red blooded" man is the faithful officer who, like the sheriff at Knoxville, Tenn., stands out in the open ready to give his life, if necessary, in the performance of his duty. Such a man is not simply defending the prisoner who is entrusted to his keeping, and who in many cases is little more than a degraded brute, but he is a true patriot standing for the dignity and honor of his State to prove that we have passed from the days when criminal assaults were more private wrongs to be avenged by the friends of the injured person or persons. It takes real courage to do one's duty when that task is unpopular, and to stand ready to shoot one's friends and neighbors if necessary to defend the reputation of one's State. If we could only get it into the heads of our young men of the South that the genuine hero is the officer who is ready to lose his own life, if necessary, in the performance of his duty, we should soon see a cessation of the long lists of riotous proceedings that are defaming our beloved South, and beginning to spread to other sections as well. It requires no courage to be one of many others to hang a man who is already disarmed and helpless. Joining such a band only shows a weak yielding to a wicked instinct. If the idea of heroism in mob violence could only be eliminated and transferred to the side of those who are trying to protect not the criminal but the State from desecration, half the battle for order and law enforcement would be won. Let every minister and leader of thought in the community bend every effort to create the public sentiment of true patriotism which is the love of our State and her fair reputation, as being able to enforce her laws and execute justice, and we shall have an appeal that will be far reaching and compelling to the young and dashing, as well as to the older and steadier heads. Letters From The People Winning Respect By Boycotting Editor JOURNAL AND GUIDE. Sir:—While the counts have been divided as to the right of organizations to boycott, there is no question as to the absolute right of the individual to exercise this method. No long ago, to be exact, on May 30th last, at Washington, D. C., one of the largest ice cream manufacturing concerns gave free ice cream to white children in the parks, and not one colored child was fortunate enough to receive even the smallest cone. The right to discriminate in this particular was, the preoperative of the ice cream concern, but when it numbered among its consumers thousands of Negro families, it was, to say the least, poor business methods. The result of this discrimination was the refusal of every Negro drug store, soft drink place, restaurant and hotel to use this certain brand of ice cream. The proprietors were appended to, but stood pat, saying that their patrons refused to use it. This silent resentment of such short-sighted prejudice and discrimination cost the firm thousands of dollars. We have always contended that to assert our position in the estimation of those who enter to us for our money's sake would be bettered if we protested against discriminations and discourses to us as a race. An insurance agent was standing in a colored man's home recently writing out a receipt with his hat on, and his foot placed on one of his chairs. This man told him that if he could not treat his home with more respect to come no farther than his porch, and finally after a hot exchange of words, told him he would hereafter pay at the office. The moment we resent the conduct of these people who show no more respect for colored homes than the average old toper did for the old saloons, the sooner will they realize that as their bread depends very largely on what they collect, and that "every man's home is his castle," the sooner will that disrespect which is nothing more or less TIDEWATER TALKS ON THRIFT BY EDWARD A. BAKER Assistant Treasurer Tidewater Bank & Trust Co. Never before in the history of the Country have there been greater reasons for building up a Savings Account than today. The Spirit of Economy is the guiding light in the home of nearly all clear thinking people. They are scrutinizing their expenditures and laying aside each pay day a definite sum and regularly putting it in a Savings Account for they well realize that the time is near at hand when the man without a dollar is like the car without gas. It takes some backbone, some genuine courage to withstand the temptation to spend more than you really can afford, but you will fare better to keep out of debt. It is much wiser and a great deal better to do without at least some of those luxuries you come to think of as necessities that it is to give way to the manifold opportunities toward extravagance today and pay for it with to-morrows sorrows. With money to fall back upon in an emergency you can prevent much needless worry and trouble. The mind has a great influence over the body. Savings makes you think success thoughts. It creates in you a desire to get ahead and desire is the first step towards attainment. Whatever your income is you ought to plan to save some of it for future requirements.

Primary Election Day In A Northern City By Mrs. Ida Stuart The day dawned wonderfully bright and fair. A cool invigorating breeze gave us energy and willingness to do the task before us. We had pledged ourselves to do what we could to arouse the Negro voter in an effort to put our two Negro candidates on the ticket. These two candidates come from the two largest Negro wards in the city. We started out and received our first surprise when we stopped to vote in our own ward. No one else seemed to have the pep and the vision that made us look up with a feeling of gratitude and with a hope that our city would become more fair and royal, more just in its civic life. It was just nine-thirty a.m., and in the precinct there had been only twenty-five votes cast, one of them my own. But that is all right we think, we happen to live in a white ward, our people we know in their wards are awake and appreciative of the chance they never had before, a chance to vote for one of their own. We finally reached the ward where the golden opportunity to vote for a colored Councilman was before the Negro voter, for acceptance or refusal. We had heard that the white voter was surprisingly indifferent and was not voting. We were shocked to find the same condition prevailing with the Negroes. We tried to excite them by telling them this and adding "if the Negro will only do his duty our man will go over easy." A house to house canvas, as a reminder had been decided upon and so we took up the block assigned to us. "Good morning, have you voted yet?" "O, yes, early" "did you do your duty, X?" "You bet X did." How good we felt. "Good morning, folks, have you voted yet?" "Noooo." Well, you will, won't you?" "I haven't got the time to bother with it?" "O yes, won't you help him?" "I reckon so." From several houses this is all we got, and we were beginning to grow tired and discouraged, but we put it behind us and keep on. "Good morning, have you voted yet?" This time to an educated Negro woman with children playing around. "No, I haven't time, I want to go to the park this afternoon and I am too busy this morning." Have you forgotten your Negro candidate in this ward?" "Oh, yes, I will go and help him." "Good morning, have you voted today?" No, I haven't been here long enough." Upon inquiry, we find the woman has been in the city since the first of last October and by doing a little mental work we find she will be able to register in time to vote in November election. Hence, we proceed to tell her how to do it. Her husband comes to the door and yells to us: "You don't need to talk to my wife, she don't vote." We try to convince them how badly we need them both, but they sent us away almost wondering if we had asked them to do something disgraceful, when we asked them to vote. And so we wearily make our rounds until noon, when we cross over to the other ward and take up our job there. "Good morning, have you voted yet?" "Oh, I forgot this is election day, the TIDEWATER BANK AND TRUST CO.

The Hotel Dale is not a pictorial structure on paper, but in reality, an architectural building—a work of art, a monument of good taste. Every known device which makes for safety and comfort has been introduced to make this as complete a living place as possible, for the accommodation of our race, where the elite, as well as others, can enjoy the pleasures of life without any infraction surrounded by most pleasant environments, with accommodation to meet the demands of all classes. The interior of this hotel, conceived in perfect taste, even, in seemingly insignificant details, cannot be surpassed. In fact, as one wanders through the rooms it seems more like a dignified yet genial residence, than any building of public nature. The rooms are light, airy and luxuriously furnished, and contain every modern convenience, suits with bath. The dining room is operated on the European system, and its cuisine rivals that of the finest hotels of record. Here is a place where those who appreciate simple elegance of service and all that, makes for ease of living may have their desire satisfied without extravagance. The orchestra renders afternoon and evening concerts daily during the season. The open air amusements are numerous with lawn tennis courts on the premises. The moral status of the hotel is above reproach and reflects credit on the management who have passed the crucial period and stood the test of the most profound critic, and today it is the most popular hotelry of colored people in the country. Until one has seen for himself the charming rooms in this palatial building, it is not possible to conceive the grace and elegance of the decorations, lighting and furnishing of the room floors. Many of our leading The success thus far attained has been very gratifying and proves that Mr. Dale has made no mistake in the opening of this gem of seashore resorts, and the public has demonstrated approval of his efforts by the patronage afforded.

His tales of fabulous prices have flourished. Indeed, for service and surrounding the rates are low, and the proprietor who has made possible this hotel desires it, and is stood that every effort has been made to adjust a minimum rate to a maximum of service. The hotel has done capacity business this season and has had to turn away many. The hotel is personally managed by Mr. Dale, with a corps of attendants, who are thoroughly experienced in every department, and their efficiency of service is maintained by a reception to the guest without friction.

One of them bulks large in the North and the other bulks large in the South. In the North it is the problem of the children of the immigrants. In the South the great problem is—or should be, rather—the problem of assimilating and training the great bulk of those millions of Americans of African descent who have had only a little over fifty years on this country. There are two things I want to speak of briefly to the teachers here. I look at some of the textbooks. It seems to me that the colored teacher everywhere should equip herself so as to supplement the teaching of history.

Her children Crucifying Kerlin --- There is a type of Southerner from whom the South has already suffered too much. He is the man who loses his sense of justice and fair play when dealing with the race question. Fortunately his tribe is being decimated by the sound idealism and sweet reason onliness of our people, but now and then he asserts himself. That is what has happened in the dismissal of Col Robert T. Kerlin from his professorship at the Virginia Military Institute of Lexington, Va., by that institution's board of visitors. He was dismissed, on the statement of the board itself, because he wrote a letter last May to Governor McRae of Arkansas asking mercy for the Negroes sentenced to be executed in June for their participation in the Elaine riots. The board based its extraordinary action on the ground that Colonel Kerlin, in suggesting to the Governor the advisability of an inquiry into the Negroes having had a fair or an unfair trial "reflected upon the administration of justice in Arkansas" and thereby rendered his connection with the V. M. I. "undesirable." The excuse for the dismissal lays bare the board's true motive. Kerlin was dismissed because he courageously spoke out for the Negroes under sentence. He is an internationally recognized authority on the race question. His book on the subject is, in many ways, a classic. He has devoted enormous labor to a mastery of the facts connected with the relations between the whites and blacks in America. In seeking to deprive him of a living and to blight his name, the V. M. I. visitors invite the charge that they disapprove of such work as he has been doing. That is tragic enough. But there is still more to be regretted. Put on one side all the work done by Northerners from the days of the "abolitionists" to the present time for the purpose of improving the Negro's lot—put all that together, and it is a mere tride compared to what the South has done for the same cause. It has been accomplished by men like Kerlin. To crucify him, is to spread abroad a denial of one of the South's finest and most altruistic achievements. The V. M. I. visitors, in striking at Kerlin, have grievously assailed the South, not to mention stultifying themselves—Asheville Citizen.

The committee consists of the following: B. J. Davis, Atlanta, chairman; Nahum Daniel Brascher, Chicago, secretary; Mr. T. Peterson, Mobile, Ala., treasurer; R. J. Nelson, Wilmington, Del., and M. J. Chisum, Philadelphia The headquarters of the committee will be 3423 Indiana avenue, Chicago. The people through the newspapers, and every other laudable means, will be thoroughly informed of the entire scope of political events; of the "Lily White" program of the Republican party in South in particular. There was a difference of opinion as to what to recommend to the people, and the committee will not function in advisory way, at least for the present, its entire program will be informative. There were newspaper men present, however, who expressed a number of views. Democrats, Socialists, Independents, Democrats, and all individual selection, were discussed, but not recommendations were made. But the people know the facts," said one, "that the people will be found to crystallize sentiment into helpful action. We are going to the people and arouse them to the gravity of the situation. When the people know, results will follow." BEAUTY AIDS FOR DARK COMPLEXION How Art Improves Upon Nature All self-respecting people naturally wish to look their best.

A special program has been arranged and the pastor will preach morning and evening. Five big speakers are to be heard at the morning service with special music by the choir. Persons in the city from other places having no church home are also urged to be present. The pulpit on last Sunday was very acceptably filled by Rev. H. C.

There were three additions to the church during the morning service, including one conversion. The Sunday school and B. Y, P. U. were largely attended. Don't miss services this Sunday.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE New Buildings For State Normal To Be Started At Once (Elizabeth City Independent) Advertisements for bids for more than $100,000 of construction work for the Colored State Normal School at Elizabeth City will appear within the next few days and contracts for three new buildings, water works and sewerage disposal system will be let at an early date. Actual construction work will be gotten under way early this fall. Contracts for other work will be let before this work is completed. The new buildings for the State Normal to be started at once are an administration building, a model practice school and a home for the principal. The administration building will cost around $80,000 and will be in many respects the handsomest and most practical school building in Eastern North Carolina. The building will be two stories high and will have six class rooms, two laboratories, library and principal's office on the first floor, and ten class rooms on the second floor. The upper floor is reached by stairways at each corner of the building. Each class room has a well lighted and ventilated cloak room and lavatory facilities for both men and women are provided on both floors. A feature of the administration building will be an auditorium will be 30 feet deep and 60 feet wide. In other words it will be a real stage. That auditorium will be the talk of the town when it is completed next summer. The new administration building will replace the present administration building which was built about 20 years ago. The old administration building will be remodeled and made a part of an enlarged dormitory for girl students. When this work is completed construction will be started on a dormitory for boys. The model practice school and the home for the principal to be built at once will cost about $5,000 each. The practice school, as its name implies, will be a model school in which students of the State Normal will get actual experience in teaching. It will be in every way a model two-teacher country school the building and grounds designed to be an example for rural school districts generally to follow. In addition to these buildings, the State Normal is to be provided with its own water and sewerage systems. The details of these are now being worked out and contracts will be let FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH BOLLING BROOK J. P. Heyley Last Sunday was an extraordinary good day at the First Baptist church. Many visitors were present at Sabbath school. Regardless of the intense heat, a large congregation met to hear the pastor deliver his regular sermon at the morning hour, but to every one's surprise, Rev. McQuarters, of Texas, caused our hearts to burn within us while he spoke to us out of God's word. "Thy will be done with my mind," was the B. Y. P. U. topic, which was so beautifully discussed by Messrs. V. B. Clark, J. H. Harrison and Rev. S. L. Brown. The fires upon the altar of our hearts began to kindle and burn as Rev. McQuarters spoke to us for the second time at the evening hour. Rev. Downes, of Washington, D. C., was also with us, and sang some of the old songs of Zion. The collection for the day totaled $40.00. DOLLING BROOK BAPT. CHURCH Lillian Brown, Reporter All services Sunday were well attended, including the Sunday school, Miss Rebecca Curtis was teacher for the advanced class. The B. Y. P.

NEGRO FARMERS ON THE INCREASE Rapidly Supplanting Whites On Farm Lands In North Carolina The Independent While the late census shows the Negro population of North Carolina on the decrease the same census shows that Negro farmers are on the increase in North Carolina and are rapidly supplanting white farmers in the Coastal Plain counties. Farms operated by Negroes in North Carolina increased 16.2 per cent in the last ten years, while farms operated by white farmers increased only 2.8 per cent. Here is the per cent of increase of Negro farmers in the following Northeastern counties: Gates.....46.1 Washington.....46.1 Martin.....26.4 Perquimans.....22.8 Beaufort.....20.3 Currituck.....15.2 Bertie.....14.7 Camden.....11.5 Pasquotank.....10.5 Hertford.....5.8 Chowan.....8 A decrease is shown only in the counties of Tyrrell and Hyde in Northeastern North Carolina. Tyrrell decrease in Negro farm owners is 2.1 per cent; Hyde's 15.8. To give some idea of the rapidity with which Negroes are supplanting whites as farmers, the University of North Carolina News Letter offers the following: "Ten years ago the Negroes in Le noir were 44.9 per cent of all people. Today they are 44.2 per cent. But during this ten-year period Negro farmers increased 71.6 per cent while white farmers increased only 9.6 per cent. The Negro farmer gain was nine times the white gain. "Or again take Wilson, the great tobacco county. The Negro population ratio is almost exactly the same today as it was ten years ago. But during the ten-year period Negro farmers increased 57.9 per cent, while white farmers gained only 16.4 per cent. In Pitt, another great tobacco county, the farms operated by white farmers increased 6.4 per cent, while Negro farmers are 54.6 per cent more than ten years ago. In Greene county, the Negro farmers increased five times as rapidly as white farmers. In Gates county the Negro farm operators increased seven times as rapidly as white. The white farmers of Scotland decreased 9.2 per cent while Negro farmers increased 47.5 per cent. There are today more than twice as many colored farmers in Scotland as white farmers. Edgecombe is a great farm county but the Negro farmers gained more than four times as rapidly as white farmers. In Washington county the white farmers gained 2.4 per cent while the Negro gain was 46.1 per cent, or around twenty times as great. Wayne is another great farm county and here the Negro gain in farm operators was 42.5 per cent against 15.3 per cent for whites." TITUS TOWN (Miss Vashti V. Corbin) (Miss Vashti V. Corbin) The Sunday school met in full session, last Sunday morning with Supt. Robert Nichols, at his attiring duty. The devotionals were fine and spiritual. A goodly number attended the Sunday school. At 12:30 o'clock, Rev. Barnett of the First Baptist church, South Hill preached a powerful sermon.

In the absence of a sufficient number of high schools in the State, the college authorities find it necessary for the present to maintain at least three schools in one; that is, the Trade School, the Trade High School, and the College Department. With the increase of high schools that are now being established in the State, in a few years these will become sufficient feeders for the college and therefore render the two preparatory schools conducted here unnecessary.

Woodley, of 88 St. James street, will represent the paper in Berkley Ward as correspondent and general distributor, beginning September 1st. Mr. Woodley will receive news items for publication up to Monday afternoon. He is prepared also to quote rates for advertising, obituaries, cards, thanks, etc. Subscribers not receiving their papers promptly from carriers or by mail are requested to notify Mr. Woodley. By O. F. Woodlen The churches of Berkley were never in a more organized and religiously systemized condition than of today. The old-time idea of social standing being determined by the church of which you were a member or the congregation you followed is indeed a bit of history. The churches are teaching through their highly educated and religious men as pastors that "United we stand, divided we fall." Your hand in mine, both hands in God's firm grasp to heaven we are going and lofty peaks of intelligence we are attaining. . . . There are in Borkley and South Norfolk eleven colored churches, each striving and fighting for the high ideals of civilization and Christianity. In conferring with some of the able leaders I am informed that in the private church meetings as well as from the pulpit, members are advised to recognize and patronize colored enterprises. One pastor remarks that "unless the members of the colored churches go to rescue of the colored business and professions, the churches will necessarily be compelled to suffer an untold regret." Forget not your own doctors, your own nurses, your own grocers, building and loans, insurances, cafeterias, draymen, carpenters, undertakers, printers, letter writers, banks, theatres, real estate agents, and many other businesses and professions mastered by our people. ```markdown ``` We should be proud of our oldest valued at more than $75,000.00, including adjoining property. The day has come when men of the greatest worth and of the highest renown are the ones more closely identified with the church. In fact, if you want to locate the better class of people in any city or community you will find them through the church. The question is, "Why?". Because the words of the Bible are, "First seek ye the kingdom of God, and its righteousness, till the things will be added unto you." . . . Let not the vain sayings of wicked and careless individuals hinder you in your sincerity to the church, but ever "look forward to the mark of the high calling which is in Christ the Lord." --- Rev, P. A. Scott, of the St. James A. M E church, returned to the city after spending the week-end at the Christian Endeavor Convention at Staunton, Va. His services all day Sunday were as usual commendable. The Holy Communion was administered with much solemnity Sunday night. You are welcomed always to this church. ```markdown ``` The mother and sisters of the Rev. J. C. Diamond, who have been visiting this noted pastor of the First Baptist church for two weeks, have returned to their home in Atlanta. The Rev. Mr. Diamond filled his pupil Sunday morning and Sunday night, and preached two wonderful sermons to large anxious audiences. The First Baptist church has considered in their pastor a rare jewel in quality and manhood, and as a preacher as well as in manner. Their organist, Mrs. Mamie Caldwell, has returned after a three weeks' vacation to the home of her husband, Mr. Isaac Caldwell, in Charlotte, N. C. She reports having had a delightful trip. The mail carrier, Mr. Jas. Moore, of St. James street, is off for a ten days' vacation He is planning a trip out of town. The death of Mr. Ocelus Sivils, of Whitehead avenue, last Friday was quite a shock to his relatives and friends. The Guide extends its sympathy to the bereaved. The Rev. C. H. D. Griffin, of the Central Baptist church, will preach at the First Baptist church at 3:30 o'clock. He will be accompanied by his excellent choir and his entire congregation. You are cordially invited to be present. Rev. Griffin is an able preacher and one of the noted educators of this section. He is a North Carolinaian by birth. He received his education in the great Baptist school, Roanoke Collegiate Institute, in Elizabeth City, N. C. Being as his friends often refer "a book worm," he stands head and shoulders above the other members of his college class. Too Charlotte H.

Large Crowds At Ocean Rest Labor Day Later Day, which closed the season at Ocean Rest, brought the largest crowds of the season to the popular colored ocean resort. The excellent weather, the fine ocean bathing and the prestigious hospitality of Manager J. J. Bungee, Jr., contributed much to the enjoyment of the visitors. Several auto admissions, including the throng of picnics, including one conducted by Mr. and Mrs. George Collette, consisting of Mrs. J. T. P. Cross, Mrs. Minetta Miller and daughter, and Mr. Ryalls. During the day the piazza surrounding the handsome stone cottage was crowded with parties of picnics with well-filled tables and chairs, the matchless cuisine of Mrs. Bungee, son was the predominant feature. All things contributed to make the holiday one of unsurpassed enjoyment. Ocean Rest, while yet in its infarcy, is increasing in popularity by leaps and bounds. The season just ended, though a very successful one, is only a forcurrenter of a dazzling future for this, the only resort in this vicinity for colored people located directly on the ocean front. Suffolk Sunbeams Playing In Big League Style Suffolk has a great team in the Suffolk Bunbeams, with Grady L. Backus, manager. This team has been playing in fine form all season, and expects to cop the remainder of the games before football forces baseball off the map. The Sunbeams played 38 games, won 30, lost 7 and tied 1. The story of the games played last week as told on page three of this issue shows just how they have handled the teams who have been bold enough to face them. The games scheduled for September are sure to be great ones. Watch for the results.
