FIRST IN LIVE NEWS ALL THE TIME VOL. XXI. NO. 38 COTTON AND TOBACCO UP; OUTLOOKGOOD COTTON AND TOBACCO UP; OUTLOOKGOOD Prospects Better For Farmers And Industrial Workers As Better Prices and More Employment Appear In Sight. MEANS RETURN OF PROSPERITY The past week brought a distinct revival in business throughout the country, due largely to the sudden increase in cotton and tobacco, the two key crops. Soon this upward tendency in prices maintained much of the gloom that has pervaded the country for the past year. The country is now able to pay their back debts and money will be put in circulation to revive building and other industrial activities, restoring normal conditions of employment and a return to better times. Walter Brown, writing from New York to the *Atlanta Constitution* says. Quite a change for the better is to be found in the developments of the past week both in financial and general business circles. The stock market, except for temporary reactions continued its upward course. Reports from the trade department of slowly reviving business activity in many lines. The bond market continues generally steady, reflecting an absorption of worthwhile securities in account, while wholesale reports increased tendency to buy for future delivery. The number of commercial failures shows a decrease, and taken altogether there are enough evidences of returning confidence to enable quite a substantial showing. **STATEMENTS ENCOURAGING** The weekly statement of the federal reserve banks as a whole was encouraging. The point has been reached where signs of the Federal Reserve's opposite direction are to be regarded as favorable developments. Thus there was an increase of $77,000,000 in circulation, indicating a revival in business activity rather than was generally expected. The *Richmond Times Dispatch* which is regarded as a pretty good barometer of conditions in the South, and the following to say Monday of the week better business conditioned to the trend of cotton and tobacco prices. The gloom that about one year ago commenced to spread over the faces of the Virginia farmers who cultivated the crop, as well as over the countenances of denizens in leaf tobacco, and hung there so long, is not to be seen us the tobacco-selling season is about to open this year, the farmers grower, like the Georgia and Alabama cotton raiser, sees a bright day dawning. At the opening of the Eastern North Carolina bright tobacco markets last week the farmers sign the signs of a risk demand for the cotton market; the leaf; the prices offered by the buyers were far in advance of those at the opening a year ago, and the indications are that the value of the bright weed will continue to increase as the days go by. The Virginia bright markets will open up next week and the advance reports from all of them are that buyers representing the cigarettes both in this country and Europe are eager for the raw material soon to be placed on sale in the warehouses in the towns behind the minimum section and it is certain that the grower will price for all the good tobacco they have grown this year that will be from 15 to 25 per cent higher than those they realized on an average last year. It is true that the grower last year this year are much smaller than those of 1920, and this accounts in part for the better prices the buyer will offer—have already been given the price line. It is estimated that the 1921 crop of bright tobacco will weigh but a little less than half of that of 1920, but it must be remembered that there was a huge increase of tobacco in 1920 the farmers have been seduced by the fancy prices of the preceding year to seed and to bring forth the largest crop in the hispaniola and North Carolina. The crop of this year is perhaps not over 30 or 35 per cent short of normal, but in the meantime the consumption of tobacco after it has been grown by the chewer's plug and the smoker's hag has been increasing by leaps and bounds for the past several years, and thus it happens that a crop that is only 35 per cent less than normal is a very short crop. With the higher prices that are now being paid for the weed in Carolina and will be paid for it in Florida, the growers will as they open up, the growers will probably realize more cash in the aggregate for this year's short crop than they did for last year's large one. And then this year's crop will be cured and will be marketed at greatly reduced cost to the grower, and the profits coming to him more. And then an enable him to make money on the loss of the balance and leave him a healthy balance on the credit side of the ledger. When the Virginia tobacco growers, make good profits on (Continued on Page Eight.)

(By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—The Ku Klux Klan was vehemently assailed as "completely un-American" and "the greatest disintegrating force at work in this country today" by Bishop Samuel Fallow, speaking before the Dill Pickle Club last Sunday night. "The Ku Klux Klan strikes at the root of principles upon which this nation was built," said the bishop. "It undertakes to do in a secret manner duties delegated to established institutions. It presumes to be the judge and jury. It is the direct antithesis of Americanism. "It is the greatest disintegrating force at work in America today. It holds all its dealings in secret and under cover of darkness. It is a deliberate insult to 11,000,000 colored people of our nation." Bishop Fallow sketched the history of the organization from its inception during the Civil War times to the present time. "It subjected colored people to such gross indignities that the government was finally obliged to suppress it," he insisted. "It was formally placed on trial as an organization, convicted, condemned and abolished. And that's what should be done today." Col. B. Smith, 525 Grant Place, head and founder of the Honored American Legion of Four-Minute Spenkers, announced his organization of 3,000 members in Chicago is planning to carry out a state-wide drive for double membership to oppose the Ku Klux Klan.

This was occasioned by an article in the Washington Evening Star of August 19, carrying the following news: "Sweeping changes in reorganization of all cavalry units of the Army, placing the second Cavalry Division comprising the 3rd and 4th brigades and the 3rd and 4th Machine Gun squadrons, on the inactive list and demobilizing units of the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th and 15th Cavalry regiments, were ordered today by the War Department." The Association immediately communicated with Senators Capper and Wadsworth and Congressman Hamill that if this statement was correct and what the Association advise any action to be taken by the Association to ensure the preservation of the 9th and 10th Cavalry regiment, the following letter addressed to Senator Wadsworth by the Adjunct General was forwarded to the offices of the National Association: No orders have been issued to demobilize the Army. The writer probably misunderstood an order to demobilize several troops of these two colored regiments and of all white regiments. As a result of the Army's decision to demobilize the Army, all regiments, white colored, have been reduced from fifteen troop regiments to eight troop regiments, in addition, three white regiments are being placed on the Inactive List.

NOTES FROM MACEDONIA CHURCH We wish to report our work in good shape. Our last quarterly report showed a marked degree of progress being made, notwithstanding the commercial depression and the acute labor conditions. The following persons gave a surprise to the pastor and family on Friday night: Mrs. Alice and Janetta Boone, Mesdames Williams, Debreoux, Fortune, Nicholson and Batten. These ladies came from Williamstown to the parsonage and brought many good and useful things: canned goods, vegetables, sugar, chickens, soap, etc. for which we are thankful. Rev. and Mrs. R. J. Butt. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH On Friday evening, Sept. 9th, Mr. Chas. Satchell Morris, of Norfolk, Va., addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at the First Baptist church from the subject, "The Blocks With Which We Build." Young Mr. Morris in the presentation of thisably prepared address thoroughly captivated his audience. He impressed upon his auditors the importance of character, courage, faith, hope and aspiration in that scholarly manner which few orators can equal and none can excel. His brief reference to his own personal experience brought tears to the eyes of his many sympathetic hearers. So pleasing was his address that the pastor, Rev. Jus. A. Harrell, at the conclusion of the same urged Mr. Morris to speak again at the morning services Sunday, September 11th, which he did, using as his subject, "And Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free." The many who heard Mr. Morris on both occasions were pleased and uplifted beyond expression.

What Would You Give- THE NECRO OF TODAY THE NECRO OF TODAY BY Dr. ROBERT R. MOTON Principal of Tuskegee Institute (Reprinted from The Times, London) (Continued from last week) Although Negroes constitute more than 11 per cent. of the total population of the country, they receive less than 2 per cent. of the billion dollars annually spent for education in this country. Of the $870,000,000 spent annually on the public schools, only a little more than 1 per cent. is expended for Negroes. In the South, where they constitute more than 26 per cent. of the population, they receive less than 10 per cent. of the school funds. This means not only that there is not room enough to house the children who are of school age, but also that there are not accommodations for those who actually attend school. School terms in most places are still less than six months in length; and whereas the pay of school teachers is commonly very poor, the pay of Negro teachers is in most places poorer still. And it is still true, as was pointed out by Dr. Washington, that more money is spent on special schools for the Indian—about $5,000,000—than is expended for industrial and higher education for Negroes—about $4,500,000. And it should be remembered that there are more than 30 times as many Negroes in America as there are Indians. Justice calls for larger appropriations for Negro education, and that, too, without reducing the amounts spent for these other groups. Nevertheless, while there is still room for improving the educational facilities for Negroes, as well as for the white race, there is at the present time a forward movement throughout the South for better school conditions for both races. Practically all the Southern States have passed laws making primary education compulsory for both races, and each year State Legislatures are increasing by large sums the appropriations for public education. In the midst of all this two factors stand out; the Negroes of America are most eager for all kinds of education for themselves and their children; the other is that a distribution of school funds on the basis of population alone, not to mention the greater need of the Negro, would multiply the present appropriations for Negro education from public funds by five times at least. IV.—ECONOMIC PROGRESS The record which the Negro race has made in economic advancement is most interesting, perhaps for the reason that in this field it is possible to make comparisons in a variety of directions that more nearly approach exactness than is true of data pertaining to other phases of his life. Here we have an abundance of figures with which to estimate and compare, so that one is less liable to the errors of individual judgment. In estimating the Negro's progress on economic lines one must look for its significance not so much in the aggregate as in comparison with the resources with which he started and the progress of other peoples or groups under somewhat similar circumstances. As Frederick Douglass used to say, the progress of the Negro is not to be measured by the heights to which he has gone, but by the FURDURA STATION SUN BUN FREQUENCY AND RELIEF BLACK AND WHITE OINTMENT KLOUD DIEKNAL CO.

Emancipation found the race without capital, land, or credit. There was the brawn that had been developed in slavery and a modium of skill required in the necessities of the slave regime. The great bulk of labor was agricultural, with the kind of methods and knowledge that placed the South on the verge of bankruptcy when the war broke out in the sixties and left it impoverished until the beginning of the present revolution in agricultural methods introduced by the late Dr. Seaman A. Knapp. Viewed in this light, the progress which has been made fairly deserves the description of "remarkable." NEXROES AS FARMERS When the Negro obtained his freedom there were in the whole United States a few farms controlled by a very small number of previously "Free Negroes." Today they operate in the South some 900,000 farms Negro farm laborers in the South now cultivate approximately 100,000,000 acres of land, of which number 42,000,000 are under the control of Negro farmers. The increase in Negro farm owners in the South in the past 50 years compares favorably with the increase in white farm owners. In 1860 the great majority of white farmers owned their farms. The census reports show that in 50 years the number of farms operated by white farmers increased by 1,529,000. Of this number, 663,300, or 43.4 per cent., were owners and 866,278, or 65.6 per cent were tenants, whereas in this same period 890,141 colored persons required control of farms, or which number 219,647, or 24.7 per cent., were owners, and 670,494, or 75.3 per cent., were tenants. When one remembers that these holders were acquired by colored people in the face of far greater difficulties than those which confronted their white neighbors, he doubtless will concede that the showing is entirely creditable to the Negro. Of the million and a half white farm owners added since 1863 a large number were children of landowners and inherited farms or the means with which to purchase them, while Negro ownership proceeded from an almost entire absence of patrimony of any sort. Today Negroes in America own more than 20,000,000 acres of land. This constitutes an area of 31,000 square miles, or an area larger than the State of South Carolina. IN TRADE AND INDUSTRY In addition to the progress made in land ownership, there has been a similar advance along industrial and business lines that has contributed much to the economic development of the race. It is often charged that the Negro is idle and shiftless, yet the census figures for 1910 show that there were in the race 5,192,535 persons over 10 years of age engaged in gainful occupations. This represents 71 per cent of it those over 10 years of age, and about 50 per cent of the entire Negro population at that time. Of this number 2,893,674 were engaged in agriculture, 1,099,715 in domestic and personal service; 425,043 in trades and transportation; 704,174 in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits; and 69,929 in the various professions—of this latter class the greater number representing the ministry or teaching. These figures correspond in part with the great expansion in these industries during the decade indicated; but they also represent the extent to which the Negro is entering into all phases of the industrial life of America.

U.S.A. ce in which Negroes will not be found, possessed of varying degrees of skill. Succeeding in these lines as an employee, it is but natural that successful Negroes should branch out into enterprises of their own. Negroes are accordingly found as owners and operators of various businesses to the number of 38,322, not including such lines as barber shops, blacksmith shops, and shoe shops, which were otherwise classified in the census enumeration. If these were included the number would easily equal a total of 43,000. As it stands, the figures represent all lines of business, such as bakeries, meat markets, carriage factories, contracting and building, dry goods stores, grocery, drug stores, insurance companies and banks. Perhaps the most important business enterprises of the Negro at the present time are the insurance companies and the banks, of which there are now in operation 36 of the larger insurance companies and 72 banks. It was a Negro insurance company, the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, with headquarters at Durham, North Carolina, that had a greater expansion of its insurance in force during the last fiscal year than any other of a hundred insurance companies in its class in the entire country. Three of the banks among the total mentioned above have over a million dollars in resources. INCREASE IN WEALTH These figures indicate the extent to which the Negro is being woven into the industrial fabric of America, becoming more and more indispensable to its economic life. They show also how he is passing from an employee to an employer, from a dependent factor to a contributing factor. Here is evidence of energy, application, thrift, enterprise, business acumen, and executive capacity, in all of which he must of necessity measure arms with some of the shrewdest and most experienced business men in the world. It were vain to boast that he exceeds anyone, but it is more than encouraging to know that he not only survives but makes progress. This is hopeful for him and reassuring to his friends. It is furthermore true that in all of this success he has generally had the support and encouragement of white people in the community by which he is surrounded. All this industry and activity has meant a rapid increase in the wealth of the Negro. According to the best available information, the total estimated wealth of the race now approximates one billion dollars (£200,000,000). Along with this increase in individual holdings, the race is now entering upon a period of rapidly increasing accumulations of capital in the form of banks, stock companies, and insurance companies of various kinds. These holdings offer prospect of larger and even more rapid increase in wealth in the next few years, a fact which makes the prospect of general race development even more hopeful than heretofore. A COMPARISON WITH RUSSIA At the 50th anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro, celebrated by the race in 1913, a comparison was made of their progress and the progress of the Russian serfs in a similar period. The statement on the matter said: The serfs were emancipated in 1861. Fifty years after it it was found that 14,000,000 of them had accumulated about $500,000,000 worth of property, or about $35 per capita—about $200 per family.

Entered no second-class matter at the post office at Norfolk, Virginia SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1921 LYNCHING Speaking before the American Bar Association at its recent meeting in Gincinnati, Mr. Luther Z. Rosser, a prominent lawyer of Atlanta, had the allowing to say on the subject of Lynching: "Lynching will cease only when Negroes stop their attacks on white women, when the white people such a stage of self-control that they can restrain themselves in favor of the law—two things that are too deep-seated to be met by the law alone, but must be met by an awakening of public conscience and an uplift of the races." Writing to the editor of the Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer of the 13th, Mr. N. A. Gregory makes these observations, among others: In commenting on the Kinston lynching I was glad to see you stressing the point of failure on the part of our Nergo leaders to warn their young men against the crime of rape. It is all but too true that their teachers, preachers and politicians from some cause or influence have so far chosen to evade this duty and responsibility. I am sure the rank and file of the Negroes who have attained to the rank of good citizenship and the great majority of them have in North Carolina, are all ashamed of this crime and the stigma it is upon their race. They ought to take it into their own hands and teach and preach against it in their own homes. Repudiate the leadership that is subject to foreign influences that always has and always will lead to trouble. But the main matter is that the Negro leaders of today have unquestionably a great responsibility in settling an issue that is bringing disrespect upon our courts and destroying the very founders of the white race has been built and in which the Negro race has even a greater interest than the white race. Our difference only is you want more education and Christianity for the white race to prevent the black race from using the same medicine for the black race to prevent rape—the cause of the problem. Public opinion is demanding certainly and it is not unreasonable, that the leaders of the race give evidence of some open sinning of rape and lynching that is disgracing us and advertising our section as one of lawlessness. Mr. Rosser was misleading in his remarks before the American Bar Association. Those who have not made a special study of the causes of lynchings would naturally be led to the conclusion, after listening to him, or after reading his address, that rape is the sole cause of lynching. Let us examine the record: According to the bureau of research and records maintained at Tuskegee Institute under the direction of a trained investigator, there were sixty-one lynchings in the United States during 1920. Of that number eighteen, or less than one-third, were accused of rape or attempted rape. To be exact, the fifty-three Negroes who were lynched were put to death for the following causes: Murder ..... 5 Attempted murder ..... 4 Killing officer of the law ..... 5 Killing landlord in dispute ..... 6 Rape ..... 15 Attempted rape ..... 3 Assisting fugitive to escape ..... 3 Wounding white man ..... 2 Insulting woman ..... 2 Knocking down guard, escaping from chain gang, then re- turning and surrendering ..... 2 Jumping labor contract ..... 1 Threatening to kill man ..... 1 Cutting man in fight ..... 1 Receiving stay of death sen- tence to use another con- fessed crime ..... 1 Peeping through window at wom- man ..... 1 Insisting on voting ..... 1 Total.....53 A study of the above table will show that persons were lynched for everything from mere misdemeanors to capital crimes. Even if Negroes should cease altogether to make attacks upon white women, lynchings would only be reduced by about thirty per cent. The occasional crime against women is the excuse invariably offered in justification of lynching. Mr. Rosser did not tell the American Bar Association that thirty-four Negroes were lynched in Southern States for crimes other than rape or attempted rape. While it is true that many cases of actual rape are committed, to the horror of all decent people, block as well as white, there are many Negroes lynched for rape whom the orderly processes of law might find not guilty. It will be remembered that the "criminal assault" which started the Tulsa riot and resulted in the death of hundreds of people consisted of a Negro boy accidentally stepping on a white elevator girl's foot and failing to apologize with due promptness. The Memphis Commercial Appeal recently carried two circumstantial stories of attacks by Negroes on white women. Both stories were false, as the newspaper itself admitted the next day. But the original stories were carried on the front page with flaming headlines and the corrections were carried inexpensively on an inside page. Providence only prevented a lynching. As to Mr. Gregory's observations, he is doubtless sincere, but he shows woeful lack of knowledge of the attitude of the Negro leader, the preacher, teacher and editor on the causes of lynching. Education will wipe out criminal assaults upon women. For Mr. Gregory's information we should say that of the thousands of graduates and students turned out by Tuskegee, Hampton, Shaw, Howard, Fisk, Talladega, Biddle and other colored schools in the South, not one, so far as any record can be found, has ever been accused of, arrested for, or suspected of rape or any other serious criminal offense. The Negro that commits rape is usually the roving, illiterate, weak-minded type who has never had any school advantages, never attended church nor come in contact with the influence of the Negro preacher or teacher, and who does not read the newspapers. The responsibility for this condition does not rest entirely upon the Negro leader, as Mr. Gregory would believe. The State shares largely the responsibility. While the States are doing more and more each year toward giving Negro children an opportunity to obtain a public school education, a study of expenditures along this line will show that the States have always discriminated in favor of its white children. Take the following authoritative figures on annual expenditures for public schools by States, for example, showing the average expenditures per child of school age: State White Negro Alabama $11.21 $2.00 Arkansas 9.07 4.14 Florida 19.23 2.44 Georgia 13.16 2.59 Louisiana 16.44 1.81 Mississippi 8.20 1.83 North Carolina 9.94 3.70 South Carolina 11.97 1.23 Virginia 14.08 4.13 The South, then, spends from three to six times as much on the white children, as it does on the Negro children, but Negro leaders trained under such a handicap are expected to abort the baser instincts in the unreached members of their race that a more efficient and far-reaching sys- tem of education has failed to eradicate in the more favored race. In the light of these conditions how are the Negro leaders expected to prevent the causes of lynching any more effectively than they are doing? If education and Christianity are needed to give the white people more self-control, as Mr. Rosser, Mr. Gregory and the editor of the News and Observer agree, it is also true that the same elevating influences are needed in larger measures to give Negroes self-control, and while the Negro leaders do not now try to evade their responsibility in this serious matter, when they are given a better deal in the distribution of school funds and in the administration of the laws they will with more eagerness accept the responsibility that is thrust upon them. PROHIBITION AND PERSONAL RIGHTS There is substantial agreement among the law-abiding and moral sentiment of the country that the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States is just where it should be and where it should remain. The liquor interests have about reached that conclusion along with the rest if mankind. The open saloon has gone away not to come back is the general belief and expectation. There is no division of opinion among decent people that it is wisest and best that it is as it is. There is a scientific belief, concurred in by many people that a certain amount of alcoholic 'content' is necessary for the system, to ensure a healthy condition, based upon the food stuffs which have become the standard of living requirements. The lighter wines and beers and the brews of apple and grape which used to be common for home use, it is argued, are necessary and should be allowed, in the laws enacted by Congress in construing the amendment for practical purposes. There is a disposition in Congress to make such liberal construction in shaping laws governing the manufacture and sale of liquors. Until that is done the drastic Volstead law remains in force and must be obeyed, however distasteful it may be to a large part of the citizenship. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has no quarrel even with that act. What we want is that the manufacture and sale of intoxicants may be restricted and regulated in the interest of public morality and health. The enforcement of the Volstead law, however, has been attended with many abuses of personal rights, and the matter was pending in Congress when it took a recess recently. Entering private places in search of liquors without a warrant has been made offensive by the agents charged with enforcing the law, and the question will be decided by Congress, as it should be. Just how far personal rights and interests are to be affected in the effort to stamp out the use of liquor contrary to law should be specifically defined by law, so that agents and others concerned may know just what is expected of them. That is not now so, and a great deal of bad blood has been created in consequence. That is not necessary. GILMERTON, VA.

Does life seem dull and work a grind? Dont worry. Science has discovered a new vitalizer superior even to the much discussed "goat gland" and "monkey gland" treatment. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with is are other tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In most cases, the compound produces marked improvement in a day or two, and in a short time the vitality is revived, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt in every part. The new vitalizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enormous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all. Furthermore, the laboratories producing this new vitalizer, which is called Re-Nu-Tabs are so confident of its power that they offer it on the basis of "no results, no pay." Any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address, to the Re-Nu-Tab Laboratories, Dept. 12G, Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., and a full treatment of Re-Nu-Tabs will be mailed. Deposit $2.00 with the postman on delivery. If not delighted by the results at the end of a week notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about accepting this test offer, as it is fully guaranteed. 1t. TIDEWATER TALKS ON THRIFT BY EDWARD A. BAKER Assistant Treasurer Tidewater Bank & Trust Co The world knows but little of failures and cares less. The world only watches and admires the successes. Stop worrying over things that can't be helped. Stop anticipating trouble and worrying about things that may never happen. There is enough trouble instore for us all and there is no need to borrow more. It is not the cares of today but the cares of tomorrow that weighs man down, for each of us has enough strength given to take care of the needs of today. What a cost we pay for the evils that never happen. Stop worrying over things that can't be helped and can't be done and go on and do the things that can be done. Few people care a continental about your failure, and few, if any, will help. You may set and magnify your mistakes, mourn and go mad over your blunders, but the world will only smile the cynical smile and say of you, "He's no good." Self pity, sympathy-soliciting, wishing and waiting will only let you down lower—for 1921 will reward only Fighters, not whiners, not quitters, those who hold out and hold on. So Brace up, Brush up, Think up, Save up and you will get up. But, Think down, Look down, Act down, Spend down and you will stay down. Paint your face with a smile, advertise that you are a success, and then think and work for it. If gloom has accompanied you day by day and slept by you at night, cast him off If you consider carnely all the things you could accomplish if you had more money at your disposal, and then stop to think that a great many of these things are surely within your reach if you practiced thrift, you will then have all of the incentive necessary to save money. Don't put off starting to save, because the longer you put it off the harder it will be for you to start.

STATE CONVENTION A. C. E. LEAGUE OF A. M. E. CHURCH AT WAYNESBORO. VA (J. W. Sanders) This body of Christian workers assembled to hold their 16th session on the 29th of August. It was one of the most successful conventions yet held. Dr. S. Morris was on hand to lend his great knowledge of the work to the futherance of the cause. He proved that he was the proper prison to be at the head of the eniire Connection in League work. Rev. J. Alex, Valentine, who is now Supt. of the State League was in the forefront of the battle for a higher order of service. He was backed by such good workers as Drs. E. H. Hunter, M. E. Davis, G. C. Taylor, J. S. Hatcher, A. J. Nottingham, W. T. Cotten, and their wives, Mrs. C. R. Sanders, Rev and Mrs. J. H. Ross, Mrs. J. W. Sanders, Misses Davis, Jones, Archer, Jones and a host of others too numerous to mention: Dr. S. S. Morris, the General Secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor or League of the World, was given an ovation when he spoke of the object of his devotion, Christ and the Young People of the Church. Virginia is proud of her son, who is soably administering this responsible work. State Supt. Valentine is new in the managing of great bodies, having held the office vacated by Dr. Morris only one year, but he has proven his ability and fitness for his position. His annual address was a gem of Oratory and common sense. He submitted several recommendations which were adopted. Rev. J. S. Hatcher, who organized a choir and led the convention music is a musical composer of no mean talent; his songs, both solos and choruses were pleasing and elfying. He was very easily assisted by Dr. G. C. Taylor. Dr. E. H. Hunter lead the conscription meeting. Mrs. Nottingham could always be depended upon to live things when there was a lag. Miss Rebecca James gave several recitations which captured the house. Dr. M. E. Davis is perhaps the university among all the League workers. The sermon by Rev. P. A. Scott of St. James A. M. E. Church, Berkley was a master piece. All who were on program came well prepared and handled their subjects in most masterly fashion. the pastor, Rev. P. D. Smith, the Presiding Elder, Rev. W. W. Roberts as well as the people of Waynesboro were given warm thanks for their splendid entertainment of the convention.

Tells all THE NEGRO OF TODAY (Continued From Page 3.) only about 30 per cent. of the Russian peasants were able to read and write. After 50 years of freedom the 10,000,000 Negroes in the United States have accumulated over $700,000,000 worth of property, or about $70 per capita and $350 per family, while 70 per cent. of them have some education in books. This record means much for the Negro not only with respect of his past, but also for the future. In spite of much that is said to the contrary, it is an index of toil, diligence, and thrift; traits that still inhere in the ruse and promise further development under the stimulus of increasing freedom. It also means much for the white South. In the past, the foundations of industrial and commercial development in the South have been built most largely on Negro labor. The marvelous recovery of the South from the devastation of the Civil War is inseparably associated with these achievements of the Negro for himself. For it is not too much to say that under the industrial system of the South; the Negro, in whatever gains he had made for himself, has gained at least an equal amount for is white employer. And there are yet greater possibilities both for the white man and the black man in Negro economic development. Both as a laborer and as a buyer, as well as an investor, his possibilities are yet to be developed. Those who have taken the first steps to encourage such development on a just and considerate basis have found that it pays large dividends both in immediate cash returns and permanent economic stability. V....SOCIAL PROGRESS The facts set forth thus far are of a kind that can be measured, at least approximately, in figures, but there are other phases of Negro life whose story is to be learned best by direct observation. It is this part of the Negro's development that is known by very few people outside of the races. This part is the social progress of the Negro. By this is meant the evolution of a well-regulated and harmonious social structure within the race itself that provides for the more intimate personal needs of its members, and ministers largely to a rapidly growing race-consciousness. Its natural source of development is in home life. Perhaps in no phase of his life did the Negro have so far to come in his journey from bondage to freedom as in the most sacred institution of civilization—the home. Nowhere, perhaps, did slavery work a greater hardship to the race than in this matter of home life. Even as a heaten, family relations were both real and sacred to the black man—more sacred perhaps than is true in many quarters of more modern civilization. But slavery destroyed nearly all this for the Negro, so that on emancipation he had to build his home life from the bottom up. The struggle from the one-room log cabin—the heritage from slavery by way of "the quarters"—to the home of respected privacy, of pure morals, of nigh ideals, ennobling friendships and lofty aspirations, has been both long and hard—how hard is known only to a few outside of the race—but within the race it is a story full of pain and oftimes of bitterness. But the race has arrived in this as in other things. It is impossible to tell this story by the printed page; but no man can say that he knows the race until he has been within the confines of such a home among this people and breathed its atmosphere and felt its impulses. Here it is that the Negro has learned to be proud of himself and of his race; here his friends must see him before they can understand him. I sometimes feel that if those who discredit the race could only behold this picture of the Negro, their fears and alarms, as well as all prejudice and unfriendliness would instantly disappear. NEGRO TEACHERS For the maintenance of these homes there has grown up a body of school teachers—more than 40,000 in number—whose efforts in behalf of their young charges with limited equipment are sometimes pathetic. But it is positively inspiring to look upon a group of these teachers assembled at one of the many summer schools that they eagerly attend with a view to their own improvement for their work. There is with a deep consciousness of the meaning of their labors for their race; and not the least of their virtues is the devotion which they show, in spite of the fact that school systems almost everywhere in the South provide them with salaries very much lower than are paid their white colleagues of the same grades, for the same work, under obviously more favorable conditions. Yet they are enthusiastic, resourceful, and in most cases uncomplaining. They are in many ways the race's most hopeful asset; they stand, both for the Negro and the white man, between the South and all the menace and danger from ignorance, incapacity, and shiftlessness. IN THE PROFESSION Along with teachers, but necessarily fewer in number, there have developed physicians, dentists, lawyers, musicians, authors, and journalists, with others who minister in one way and another to the growing demands of a developing race. There are still many, many white people who do not know that there is such thing as a Negro doctor. Nevertheless, they go on with their work; and their service to the race is inefficient. A single meeting—the recent session of the National Medical Association in Atlanta, Georgia—brought together more than 500 Negro physicians, dentists, and pharmacists, in greater part from the South. All these professions serve the race with a skill that requires no apology, and their work has added measurably to the confidence which the race has in its own capacities and possibilities We chance to have at Tuskegee Institute an agriculturist, Dr. George W. Garver, who is known throughout the South as one of the foremost agricultural scientists in the entire section. He is consulted daily, both by letter and in person, by scores of people of both races for help with the problems of farm, field, and factory. There are hundreds like him in other lines who prove daily the value and helpfulness of their training and work to the South. Another phase of progress among Negrees to be seen in Negro womanhood. Here, again, Negro life is not only misunderstood but oftentimes grievously misrepresented. There is scarcely a single phase of life among Negrees in which women do not play a large and native part. The census of 1910 brought to light the fact that out of more than 5,000,000 persons in the race following gainful occupations 2,031,981 were women. A great part of these were in domestic service; and many spend only a fractional part of their time as wage earners; and in the South a large number will be found laboring on their farms at certain times of the year. In the last few years, larger numbers are finding employment in factories, especially with tobacco and cotton. In the North they are also finding factory employment as garment-makers and as metal workers. Others are serving as clerks. One large mail-order house in Chicago alone employs more than 1,000 Negro women in a variety of positions ranging from stock girls to responsible clerical positions. Another firm in the same city employs as many as 500. Negro women are also to be found in the professions. As school teachers their number is legion, as is true in other races. But there are also physicians, among them a goodly number of pharmacists, and a few have taken up the law. Many of them conduct business establishments of their own, as undertakers, hairdressers, milliners, and restauranteurs. The Press not very long ago chronicled the death of one Nero woman whose business alone gives employment to several thousand of her own people, and gave her an income of more than $50,000 (110,000) annually. At her死, her estate was estimated to have a value of a little more than one million dollars. The race is also proud of having the first and possibly the only woman, bank president in America. Her home is in Richmond, Virginia, where her business ability is held in high esteem by the business men of both races. Beyond the lines of individual effort in business. Negro women have developed and now direct the activities of many agencies for the general welfare of their race, to which they give much time and effort, almost wholly without compensation of any sort, these activities being most largely maintained through the gifts of the women themselves. Almost every community has a Woman's Club of some kind. NEGRO WOMEN'S CLUBS A recent meeting of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs at Tuskegee Institute brought together more than 800 of these strong and helpful women from as far away as the States of California and Washington in the West and Massachusetts in the East. These women concern themselves actively with the interests and problems affecting Negro women and girls, as well as children. Alabama and Virginia both maintain reform schools for Negro boys and girls which were established by colored women's clubs. In these institutions many of these girls and boys are provided with better opportunities for wholesome growth than they have ever known elsewhere. Most of them, in truth, have never had any opportunities for proper development, which accounts in large part for their presence in such institutions. The Y. W. C. A. is rapidly extending its organization among Negro girls and women. The paid secretaries of these organizations conduct their work with the support of the women of their race in the effort to provide the best possible social conditions for the development of Negro womanhood. It is a regrettable fact that Negro women in many places in America are without adequate protection both within and without the law. They need, therefore, every agency within the act that can provide such protection. They are themselves deeply conscious of their disadvantages in this direction, and are bending every effort to do for themselves and their own what the force of public opinion has not yet achieved for them. It is a happyomen of the times that white and colored women are coming to know each other and each to understand the problem of the other; and that in their work for their race the colored women of many places have both the encouragement and help of true and stanch white friends.

Laying aside all formalities, I greet them and solicit their patronage to the Journal and Guide; the best Negro weekly newspaper published in all of the Southern States. A goodly number usually respond to my spen and purchase a copy of my paper or subscribe for it. While others frankly tell me that they read the big daily papers—hence don't need to read weekly publications. I am puzzled to understand how these people can justify their races in face of the notorious fact, that these weekly Negro publications are the only mouth piece the race has to mould public sentiment against the innumerable wrongs heaped upon us as a race solely because we are black people. I have learned by experience that Negro newspaper publishers have many discouraging things to confront in the work of publishing news papers, which white newspaper publishers, do not to confront. Out of the 12 million or more Negroes living in the United States, I feel justified in saying that fully 6 million of them read or can read, newspapers. It would be alarming to know how many of that 6 million read and support Negro newspapers compared with the number that read and support white newspaper publications. We need and should have a strong Negro Press. Here is a job for our school teachers and our preachers; and all others who appreciate the value of the press. FRANKLIN, VA. (Miss Lillie E.

By O. F. Woodley THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS When we notice the statistics of illiteracy in Virginia, we will observe that the percentage of illiteracy among the colored population far exceeds that of the white. The eye of decision is immediately shown and discouraging impressions are gained. Hence the question arises as to the primary cause, and the remedy for the cause. You will find the answer in simple concise yet positive words: "The Public School." When we say "Public School," to as the picture of a quarter of a century ago comes to the front rank of our memory. See the dull, old finished log structure, with its open fire place, box benches and side-floor-roof ventilation, and the dear old nailman pooring over her glass while her spelling class stands in front of her, and a bundle of hickories in the corner behind, and also observe that the pupils are paying more attention to hickories to the lesson or the manna. But those were the dear old days. "The Public School" of today presents a picture far superior than the one above described. The Berkley Ward school opened Monday, Sept. 12, 1921, with more than three hundred pupils. There are employed twenty teachers, a principal, a custodian. The Waterford office opened Thursday, Sept. 15th, 1921, with twelve teachers, a principal, a custodian. The legal rate is one teacher for each thirty-five pupils. Therefore, for these two schools only eight hundred are supposed to attend. Last year more than three-fourths of that number were enrolled in either school. Now to reduce the illiteracy it is necessary to increase the teaching force and space. If it is too hard for additional wings to be erected, then annexes might be constructed in order to afford the necessary relief. More talk alone will not eliminate these conditions. The colored citizens should come to gather with principals and teachers, and make a plan to the school board and have circumstances so altered as to afford a relief from these much congested conditions. Then and not until then will this prominent illiteracy and lawbreaking devices be reduced. * The services at the First Baptist church on Sunday were largely and enjoyably attended. The sermon at the morning services was only one of the many wonderful masteries of our pastor. Rev. J. C. Daimon.

Indeed, there is a brighter day just on ahead. That there is "a brighter day just abend" is good news to Southern people generally, although the suffering from unemployment and hard times has been more acute in the North than in the South. Bad crops and worse prices for tobacco and cotton, however, have caused a business and financial depression in the South that has seriously affected the people, both white and colored, in all classes, and the JOURNAL AND GUIDE is glad to chronicle the news from authoritative sources that conditions are due t) improve. CONFER ON UNEMPLOYMENT IN SEPTEMBER Washington, D. C.—A conference on unemployment, will be called by President Hurding sometime between September 15th and 20th.

ATHLETICS Attucks Athletic Club Elects Officers The members of the Attucks Athletic Club convened in their initial session Monday, September 12th, in their club rooms at 550 Queen street. Those elected as officers of the organization are as follows: Benjamin Braxton, president and general manager; Joseph V. Moorman, vice-president; R. E. Jordan, secretary; Cliffon J. Seger, assistant secretary; James H. Johnson, treasurer; Lee H. Goodman, sergeant-at-arms. The officers were installed in a simple but brilliant manner by Dr. J. H. Anderson. The president displayed excellent judgment by appointing the following gentlemen as the board of directors: Lewis N. White, chairman; Samuel Ward, Lewis Morris, J. W. Hutcherson, Dr. J. H. Anderson, Benjamin Braxton, R. E. Jordan. Mr. Clarence Merrittie was selected as the Director of Athletics; Mr. Lewis Morris as his assistant. Mr. Merrittie needs no introduction as he is one of the best athletes in this State. Mr. Morris is also well known. One of the foremost topics of discussion was the foot ball team, which has already been organized. The team is hard at work to whip itself in shape to open the season here. A basketball team will be organized soon, and judging the present material on hand it will be one of the best in this section. Mr. Merritt, better known as "Bull" Merritt, champion light and middle weight wrestler of Virginia and New York City, expects to develop some of the greatest wrestlers in this section out of the material he now has in training. He also has a number of matches booked that will be announced later. The membership campaign is now progressing splendidly, members are being enrolled continually, the secret of which is the small joining fee. Those wishing membership are advised to hurry as the number of applications that are coming in bids fair to give the club its full quota in a few days. The club was inspected by Inspectors Guynn and White, of the Norfolk Police Department Tuesday. Both expressed their approval of their equipments and sanitary condition, and declared it to be one of the best gymnastics for our race in Virginia. Warrentown N.C.

Suffolk Sunbeams Take Close Game From Churchland Giants In one of the prettiest games seen here this season, the Suffolk Sunbeans won by a close score, 5-6 from the Churchland Giants on Labor Day, Sept. 5th. It was a pitchers' battle between Odom of Churchland and Newby of Suffolk. One of the largest crowds of the season was out to witness this wonderful game. The game was good in every department. Both teams fighting to the finish. The outstanding features of the game were the fine battery work of Newby and Coffer of Suffolk. Newby pitching airtight ball, only five hits being made off his delivery in nine innings, and the catching of "Baby" Coffer was worth seeing. Throwing bases perfect and getting the runner is his hobby. V. Stanley, of Churchland, was the star of his team, many times saving his team by his good fielding. Suffolk was to play the Portsmouth Giants Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Rocky Mount Giants Thursday and Friday, but they didn't show up.

An exhibition ladies' doubles showed some very clever play when Mrs. Dunlap and Miss Lawson defeated Mrs. Dunlap and Mrs. Sewell after two fast sets. A touch of the conic was introduced when Kraton (Olympian) defeated Stinnet, 6-0 and 6-1. The loser's efforts to return Kraton's "cut shots," which took all manner of unexpected directions, caused much merriment to the large gallery and much embarrassment to the loser. Gilliam and Harris (University) easily defeated Cooper and Moore in the match in straight sets, playing their bliss of the day. It is worthy of mention that the Olympia Club has never been defeated.
