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.

U.S.A. By Dx. Ronenr R, Moron: Principal of Tuskeyou Institute (Reprinted from Phe Tice, London) $ (Continued from tast week) | Although Negroes constitute more fern 11 per cent. of the total popula- tion of the country, they receive less thun 2 per cent, of the billion dollars fannually spent for education in this jcountry. OF the $8%0,000,000 spent {Annually on the public schools, only a lhittle more than 1 per cent. is expend. led for Neyroes. In the South, where {they constitute more than 26 per cent. lof 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 schoo! age, but also that Ithore are not accommodations for thse who uctually attend school. [School terms in most places are still Jess than six months in length; and jwhereas the pny of school teachers is leommonly very poor, the pay of Negro teachers is in most places poorer stil ‘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 ex- pended for industrial and hisher edu- cation for Negeves—about $4,500,000. Aed it should be vemembered that there are more than 30 times ais many Neseroes in America as there are In. gians. Justice calls for larger appropria. ions for Negro education, anid that. tow, without reducing the amounts spent for these other groups. Never- |theless, while there is still room for improving the educational facilities {for Nesroes, as well as for the white trace, there ix at the present time {forward movement throughout th: South for hetter school conditions for both races.

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 cir- cumstances. As Frederick Douglass used to say, the progress of the Negro is not to be measured by the heights to which he has ganc, but by the NORFOLK JOURNA: AND GUIDE ee.

In 1860 the «creat mujority of white farmers owned their farms. ‘The census reports show that in 50 years the number of farms oper- ated by white farmers increased by 1,529,000. Of this number, 663,800, of 48 per cent,, were owners ‘and 866.278, oF 65.6 per cent were ten: ants, whereas in this same period SA0.[41 colored persons acquired con: trol of farms, or which number 219, GAT, oF 24.7 per cent, were owners jand 670,194, or 75.8 per vont, wer tenants.” When one remembers tha these holders were acquired by colored jpeonle in the face of far greater dif [ficulties than those which confronted Htheir white neighbors, hy doubtles will cuncede that the showing is en tirely creditable to Uhe Nesro.

Per- haps the most important business en- lrerprisex of the Negro at the present jtime are the insurance companies and fine banks, of which there are now in operation 36 of the larger insurance leompanies and 72 banks. It was a jNegro insurance company, the North {Carolina Mutual Insurance Company, iwith headquarters at Durham, North (Carolina, that had a greater expan- jsion of its insurance in force during jthe last fiseal yeur than any other of {# hundred insurance compinies in its {class in the entire country.

Accord ings to the best available information, the (otal estimated wealth of the race now approxinuates one billion dollars (£200,000,000) . Along with this increase in individ. jul holdings, the race is now entering upon a period of rapidly increasing accumulations of eapital in the forni Jof banks, stock compunies, and in. Jsurance companies of various kinds These holdings offer prospect of larg. jer and even more rapid inerense in wealth in the next few years, a fact which makes the prospect of general race development even more hopeful than heretofore. . A Comparison Writ Russta At the 50th anniversary of th emancipation of the Negro, celebrate by the race in 1913, a comparison was mide of their progress and the prog: {reas of the Russian serfs in a similar period. ‘The statement on the matter said: | The serfs were emancipated in ING1.

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.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH BOLLING BROOK "The battle is not to the strong, neither to the swift, but to him that endureth to the end will I give the crown of life." We were blessed with a goodly attendance at all services last Sunday. Every Sunday morning at 5 o'clock a few of the old Christian warriors, together with some who have just enlisted in God's army, hold what is known as the sun-rise prayer meeting, catching the Holy Spirit at the early hour and causing Him to tarry with us the whole day through. Rev. McQuarters, of Texas, was with us again and preached at the morning hour, his text being "The Covenant of the Church." Many visitors were present at Subbath school and remained for communion. All had an enjoyable time. A short but splendid service was held in the B. Y. P. U. and some of our old friends whom we were glad to see took a part with us, one of them being Mr. T. W. Harrington, who lifted the collection, "The Danger of a Fool" was clearly shown to a large congregation by Mr. Harrington.

Woodley THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS literacy in Virginia, we will observe that the percentage of illiteracy a~ ™mong the colored population far ex- ceeds that of the white. The eye of derision is immediately shown and discouraging impressions are gained, Hence the question arises us to the primary cause, and the remedy for the cause, You will find the answer in simple concize yet positive words; “The Public School.” When we say “Public School,” to us the picture of @ quarter of a century ago comes to the front rank of our memary. See the dull, odd finished log structure, with its open fire place, box benches and side-floor-roof ventilation, and the dear old school ma’am peering over her glass while her spelling class stands in front of her, and a bundle of hickories in the corner behind, also you observe that the pupils are pry- ing ‘more attention to hickories than to the lesson or the ma'am, But those were the dear old days. “The Public School" of today presents a Picture far superior than the one above de- scribed. The beautiful arrangments: of brick and stone into commodious buildings. with modern improvements and convenient resourses, a full quo- rum of efficient and patient tenchers, Make the “Public School” ideal and supreme. The Rerkley Ward school opened Monday, Sept. 12, 1921. with more than three hundred papils, There are employed twenty teachers, 2 principal. # custodian, The Water-, ford opens Thursday Sept.

Now to reduce the illiteracy, it is necessary to inerense the teuch- ing force und space. If it is too hard for additional wires to be erected, then annexes micht be ronstructed in order to afford the neceasary re- lief, Mere talk alone will not elimi- nate these conditions. ‘fhe colored citizens should come to gether with! vrineinals and teachers, and make a} plea to the schoul beard and have! circumstances so altered as to afford a relief from these much congested | conditions, Then and nat antl. then will this prominent illiteruey and lave breaking devices he reduced. * ‘The| serviess at the First Buptist: church | on Sunday were largely and enjov- ably attended, The sermon’ at the, Morning services was only one of the many wonderfal masterpieces of our.
