DR. MOTON'S PROGRAM ENDORSED
"Good Will" Tour of Mississippi by Party of Well Known Educators Results in Better Understanding of Problems.
EDUCATION, RACE PRIDE, URGED
Hampton, Va.—Mississippi should be better known throughout the nation for its spirit of racial good-will and inter-racial co-operation, as well as for its fine cotton, truck, and dairy farms, its lumber industry, its successful modern business enterprises, and its vast natural resources.
Dr. Robert R. Moton's "good-will" speaking tour of a thousand miles through Mississippi's rich farming section, recently brought together in a group of thousands of white and colored citizens who were impelled by the spirit of common interest, mutual respect, and good-will.
Dr. Moton, well-known principal of Trask University and institute, and accessor to Booker T. Washington, snoke at twenty-old meetings on what he and colored people of Mississippi can do to make the State a courageous spirit and by common-sense methods to make the State a people. He addressed large audiences at Brookhaven, Hattiesburg, Meridian, Tupelo, Tuskegee, Clinton, Annapolis, Corn Agricultural College, Port Gibson, Greenville, and Monad Bay, founded by Isaiah T. Montgomery in 1888.
Dr. Moton and his party of well-educated educators—educators, doctors, lawyers and business men—were everywhere received with friendliness by white and colored citizens and were given courteous treatment by railroad officials. His activities of business men's associations. Wherever Dr. Moton delivered his optimistic, constructive, frank, Christian message he was given a most attentive humane and uninterrupted attention of his relations program by white and colored spokesman.
Object of the Tour
Doctor Moton made his famous good will tour of Mississippi on the invitation of leading colored citizens and with the co-operation of the Governor Russell and other liberally-minded men and women who are interested in cementing better inter-racial co-operation. Twelve or thirteen years ago, in company with the late Dr. Booker T. Smith, he led leaders. Doctor Moton, who was then commandant at Hampton Institute in Virginia, made a tour through Mississippi. He was profoundly impressed with the progress which the colored people were then making and with the reviving from white people. He left Mississippi with hope. He believed that this progress would continue. He recently discovered that far more can now be said to the credit of the white and colored Mississippiians who worked together to build up their beloved Commonwealth.
"In this party of twenty," said Doctor Moton Jackson, "there is not a single man who receives a dollar for his services in Mississippi. The money which the white and colored men receive in Mississippi are all trying to be of the largest possible service. We are simply trying to add to the racial good-will which already exists in Mississippi. We are trying to cement a more coral, a more helpful, a more sympathetic, a more between white people and black people. The only way to glorify God is to have good-will toward men."
Three-fold Message
Doctor Moton tried to accomplish three results in all his Mississippi addresses; namely, (1) to make clear to white citizens that thinking colored people understand their own weakness and are willing to face their shortcomings squirrelly with a view to getting rid of them: (2) to disabuse white men's minds of any anxiety that the success of colored people will be affected by their own weakness; men; and (3) to put on the minds and hearts of all white citizens the things that are happening every day before their eyes—things unlawful and things lawful but unfair and unjustified; and the irritation, and race friction and which citizens can—and will—remedy, when they stop to think.
Helping the Masses
Doctor Moton spoke frankly, but good-humorely, to the colored people on the value of race pride, good health, thrift, reliability and intelligence of young girls, efficiency, hopefulness, patience, racial good-will and co-operation with one another and with white people. The rich diversity of Negroes will stay in the South," said Doctor Moton. "The race problem will be worked out in the South by white and black people. I am in Mississippi because I believe that State and all the South I believe that this country is in hard work, in type, can live together in the South peaceably and faithfully. Indeed, the two races have lived together for a long time in this country and both races have made progress. "Negroes should not fool them into believing that they cannot ever amount to anything because they are black. They can be just as pure, just as honest, just as industrious, just as just, just as polite, just as Christlike as anybody on the face of the earth.

Saving of Money Nation's Strength, Says Secretary Mellon.
In 9 letter to Stuart W. Wells, president of a Minnesota, Minn., bank, who had requested an expression on the subject of Thrift and money, the Hon. Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury said: "It has always been a firm conviction with me that ability to save money is one of the essential elements of our economic habits of the people are a fair index to the economic strength of the Nation. I know, therefore on no more influential effect that you have upon our society than that the practice of saving money should become univ.ral. "In continuing the Treasury savings movement after the close of the recession, the purpose of the Treasury Department, the economic habits developed in America during the war might be made permanent and that the saving and safe investment of money is the key to our economy. Let me assure you that any effort on the part of the banking institutions to improve the financial condition of the people through the saving of money has the heavy impact of the Treasury Department."
Offers a Workable Program
"Negroes must have the reputation for being so reliable, so skillful, so industrious, so conscientious, and so efficient that the white people of South Africa wish to bring into the South any other laborers to do the work which they are now doing.
"If you have good, surroundings and good friends, do not let anybody fright you away. Any organization, hack or mutilate, must make trouble between the races is not a friend to either race, but an enemy to both races. Let all the people know that we are drawing the lines against purity. Let them know that we belong in the single standard of morality.
Preaches Race Pride
"The Negroes of this country should be thankful for many things, including the chance to work at good wages. They should also be thankful for their own homes. They can make these homes so attractive that their sons and daughters will love to remain in them. In reason why, any Negro should not have pride in himself and in his race. Believe in yourself, if you want the respect of other people, you want to put money, finances, faith in a race that despises itself.
Prof. C. Harry Carter Exonerated
In Police Court Wednesday, Prof. C. Harry Carter, music teacher, a nurse, and a judge, sued upon one of his pupils had been made, was acquitted. The court held that there was no evidence to sustain charges and dismissed the defendant.

HOLDS MOST SUCCESSFUL SESSION
The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, with State Teachers Association Closes Eighth Annual Session.
ADOPTS STRONG RESOLUTIONS
Danville, Va.—The Negro Organization Society of Virginia, meeting with the State Teachers Association, has just closed its eighth annual session in this city. Delegates representing churches, secret societies, school improvement institutes, farmer associations and various organizations came from all parts of the State to tell of the conditions in their respective communities and to seek for immediate efforts in their work. From many points of view, the meeting was one of the best ever held. Major Allen, Washington of Hampton Institute, presided at the society, presided at all meetings and gave great inspiration to the group by his wholesome and helpful talks.
The delegation was most cordially welcomed by Mayor Wooding, representing the City officials and the Colored business and professional men. Responses were made by Rev. L. M. Jeffries and Prof. W. M. Connor. The report of the Field Agent, Mr. B. C. Connor, and accomplishments of the Organization during the past year. It showed that the message of Better Schools, Better Homes, Better Health and Better Parms had reached many thousands in its results.
Dr. Jas. E. Gregoe was the principal speaker at the Wednesday night meeting. He commended the work of the Negro Organization Society and in the course of his work, he organized by which the teacher might improve his usefulness. At a later time, he spoke of the work of the Inter-racial Commission. On Thursday night, Miss Nannie Burroughs addressed the convocation of the "Building in a Home." In her characteristic way she went straight to the core of the matter, showing that a nation's progress depends upon the quality of its homes. She emphasized the importance of part of the individuals who are to make the home. Miss Burroughs greatly impressed her hearts. Mr. Harris Hart, Supt. of Public Instruction was a welcome visitor to this meeting. His address was full of encouragement to the education outlook in Virginia.
Reports from the field showed that the race is making remarkable progress along the lines of education, health, and education, and the ment of homes and farms, but there is yet much to be done before one can feel that the race's possibilities are near realization. In the last year the organization has been instructed to educate people for their own education forty thousand dollars. So insistent we the demands for the vitalizing influence of the organization have been met, the district is untouched that at the suggestion of President Washington, the Executive Committee discussed plans for a greater extension of the work. The testimony of delegates was that in the society has been highly beneficial. After getting a general survey of conditions from the reports of field workers all over the State, the Commission of the Negro Organization Society in session at Danville, Virginia presents the following resolutions:
1. We note the very encouraging increase in the betterment of school conditions throughout the State, more and better school buildings, longer terms, better trained teachers and teachers far from what it should be. School conditions in some of the cities, but especially in many rural districts are very inadequate. Poor school houses, poor teacher, scaries in impatient teachers are the most evidence, therefore we urge union state authorities to remedy as fast as possible these conditions, giving the Negro population a better chance to become intelligent and useful citizens such as a democracy demands.

2. We believe that the professionally trained teacher in the primary, elementary and high school is the great need of today, but the State facilities for the training of such persons is almost a negligible quantity among the Colored people in Virginia. Only one Normal School which yearly turns away hundreds for lack of space is provided and no sufficiency of an institution of college-grade to provide teachers for High School work, as regulations demand.
Therefore we wish to call the attention of the State authorities to this diplomatic condition and to urge them the pressing need of a Negro College of first grade for the training of teachers for high school work and its establishment another normal school for training of teachers or elementary work.
MOB LEADER GETS 4 YEAR PRISON TERM
H. B. Futrell, White Man Convicted of Inciting Riot by Leading Goldsboro Mob With Intent of Lynching Negroes.
C. S. MORRIS JR. AT QUEEN ST. BAPTI-T CH. SUNDAY
Every detail of arrangement is being rapidly perfected for the colossal men's mass meeting to be staged in the Queen Street Baptist church this Sunday afternoon. The outstanding event of the huge occasion will be the address of Charles Satchell Morris Jr., nationally famed young essayist scholar and spokesman who claims Norfolk as his home. This is his first appearance in this history.
3. We realize the importance of health in the building of a race. We are painfully conscious of the high death rate among Negroes from the tracerable to the hardened diseases unsanitary streets and ignorance of the laws of health, therefore we call all city authorities to study these conditions as they exist in the District's city and county and to teach them the great menace of the health of this social group. We greatly appreciate the work being done at Burkville for the stamping out of tuberculosis for lending the southern states in this work but we pray the legislature to furnish a greater number of beds by which a larger number of people may be cared for. We renew our pledge to its new building program and pledge support in every way possible to the State in its public health work.
4. We have watched with interest the work of the Industrial Home for Colorists and the Boys Manual School to educate us that we results are fully justified the state in its act of financing and controlling these institutions.
5. We realize the value which comes to a people through its possessions of the life of living of a happy wholesome country. His wife, the race to improve its present holdings, purchase new ones and in all ways possible make the life in the country interesting and attractive to those who live there.
6. We realize the frequent acts of helplessness in our country in the form of mob violence, Ku Klux Klanism and violation of the prohibition laws and violation of the prohibition laws in their own hands and mute out punishment to another class, therefore we commend all public and private efforts which have been and are being made to put an end to mob crimes, to put an end to the Knights of the White Robe and there will be no cessation until every man regardless of race or color feels an protection under the stars and stripes.
7. We often call upon our people everywhere to rid our community of those who would violate the Federal prohibition laws. These people stand, not only as law breakers, but as destroyers of life through their concoctions. We therefore condemn concoctions. We therefore ourselves to aid the authorities in bringing these persons to justice.
7. We note with sorrow the hesitant responses from railroads which are made to our plan for better accommodation and urge before we renew this plea and urge before we renew for equal facilities in stations and trains for equal fare paid.
8. We highly praise the work of the Inter-racial Commission in the State of Virginia. We believe that a friendly attitude of the attitude of each race by the other will usher in a brighter day.
9. We extend our thanks to His Honor, the Mayor of Danville, the press, the schools, the churches and the students who rendered any service in matters of this city pleasant, and profitable.
MOB LEADER GETS 4 YEAR PRISON TERM
H. B. Futrell, White Man Convicted of Inciting Riot by Leading Goldsboro Mob With Intent of Lynching Negroes
GOV. MORRISON
REFUSES HELP
Raleigh, N. C.—H. B. Futrell, white, of Wayne County, has been convicted of leading a mob and sentenced to serve four years in the state prison. The case was called to the attention of Governor Morrison who has refused to show any form of executive clemency to the prisoner. The governor gave no reason for his refusal to interfere in favor of Futrell. It was not disclosed on what grounds friends of Futrell hope to obtain the prisoner under the law. The doctor was a witness to the petitioners give rise to the belief that physical inability to serve the prison term was one of the pleas put forward in the prisoners behalf. The case in which Futrell was convicted has attracted State-wide attention. The officers were arrested, charged with the murder of a white store keeper, near the edge of Goldsboro. The men were taken back to the county for trial, during the session of court, a mob surrounded the house and demanded that the prisoners be over to them. The judge in charge of the court and the county officials requested that State troops be sent to protect the prisoners. The Durham Company was sent to Goldsboro and the court ordered the trial. It was proved that Futrell was the leader of the mob which attempted to incite riot by trying to take the prisoners.
One of the men charged with the murder of the merchant has been convicted. A petition for commutation of the sentence Jesse Foster, the other man held, is in the hands of Governor Morrison.

OUTLOOK ON ARMAMENT CONFERENCE
Tribute To "Unknown Soldier" and Disarmament Conference Gives Hope of "Peace on Earth Good Will Toward Men."
A PERIOD OF HISTORY MAKING
* (By The Associated Newspaper)
Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.—History in the making. There has been much of it likely. To read of it is a privilege; to see it passing into a grand reality is an opportunity not so grand. Washington is the capital of the world." These words have been used everywhere in big headlines. The great and near great, from all corners of the earth, are assembled here, to make of this a better world," a deed of the nation, quoting a distinguished American. There are two sides to the picture; the spectacular, which is out on the stage with all the trimmings, glitterings, pump and formality required for the occasionals; and then there are the vents "under cover"; these latter are the significant sign posts of the times, the marks of real or fancied progress. "UNKNOWN SOLDIER"
There was the "Unknown Soldier." It was indeed impressive to observe the honor and respect accorded this unfortunate, yet fortunate victim of the great war. The former fignish-ship of Dewey came up the Potomac marrows, until the body was committed to the earth "ashes to ashes and dust to dust," no creature of earth was ever given greater homage. Try as we may, we can only see the events of the day through our eyes; we must of necessity record the observations as they affect us as a people. Would that it were not necessary, we would we might accept the idea, and look at the show" from the strict neutral viewpoint of just a plain American. But while soaring in the glories and beauties of the ideal, comes that which awakens from the dream of splendor, we are face to face with stern realities.
So then, this of the "Unknown Soldier," except Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who was selected to represent the Colored American group, as a former Sporran War, there was no other official recognition accorded the bronzed Americans. At the Capitol every face was officially white; a plea had been made public by a former Service man for recognition of the group among the troops. There were many ex-service men in line, marching with steady stride and mainly dignity, but that very fact should emphasize the importance of larger official recognition on such an President Harding marched besides General Pershing; Chief Justice Taff, a former President, marched with the justices of the Supreme Court; Woodrow Wilson, a former President, rode with the justices of the Supreme Court; Colored coaching and not being their "guard of honor."
DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE
The opening of the World Conference on Limitation of Armament, followed the great events of Armistice Day, which closed in a blaze of by light marvelous in magnitude to the light marvelous in magnitude. To look in on such a Conference, and endeavor to comprehend the magnitude and significance of it, brings one to the keen realization of the greatness of life, the dominating influence of man and the Omnipotence of God. There the tables sat the men who are to influence the destiny of the world for centuries, and possibly all the time to come.
Again we were forced to see the situation from the viewpoint. It looked like the white wall of the world tugging with the darker races for mastery. The beautiful and appropriate address of welcome by President Harding, the hold and commanding practical address and surges of Hughes, these are well known events in the world. But what of the tenseness, on the second day of the Conference, when Admiral Kato, representing the Japanese nation, arose to express his proposals of the United States? The face was agony; the look on every face was very rarest concern. The gravity of the situation was not lessened by the Japanese language and gestures of the Tokio admiral. The sigh of reverence did not come until the official interpreter gave gestures and emphasis and eloquence stated the views of Japan in English.
The delicate phase of the Conference, of course, is the far Eastern question. This indeed, must be handled with gloves. But these practical innovations may be made, a sincerer desire, a deeper sense, on earth and good will among people, to be manifestly unkind to attribute hypocrisy to the motives of the assembled nations. And there is hope manifest everywhere that the program will succeed, but the darker peoples of the country must not, will not, be fooled, and the program will make any portion of the nation that seeks to build up a civilization on long time in this country and both like scultures of hades.

Christianburg Industrial Institute invaded the camp of Harrison High School football team and Harrison High got sweet revenge for the defeat the Christianburg boys gave them the last time they met when the Roanoke boys lost 13 to 6. When the whistle blew on the 17th the Harrison High simply wiped the field up with the Christianburg boys after the first quarter the Christianburg boys were through the home boys line at last for a few minutes it looked as if they could win in a walk. Once the home boys braced and began their aerial work and carried the ball to the 1yard line to lose it on downs in the third quarter to lose the final quarter Eggleston Bell, Howard and Burrell began their fake plays and made long gains, searing two touchdowns. Eggleston kicked two goals. The boys on both teams were somewhat rough in their playing. The stars in this game were Eggleston, Bell and Howard. Harrison High Christianburg

ST JAMES P. E. CHURCH
A rainy day such as last Sunday was usually find those who regard their religious obligations with the same importance that they do any other. Such a day would find everybody at his place of business caring for the sick and the found in the house of God seeking the Bread of Life. This, however, is not altogether true of the communicants at St. Charles Jones's way through the rain and mud Sunday in the school and church services. Considering the weather, attendance was splendid all day. From all indications and expressions we feel that those who were out felt well paid for their efforts.
Sunday, the 27th being the first Sunday in Advent and the beginning of our Church year, the corporate Communion for all the male congregants will be hoped that every confirmed man and boy of St. James will come out to the 11:00 a.m. service Sunday November 27th.

At this service especially, it is hoped that every man will catch the spirit of St. Andrew and bring another friend to the church.
The public is most cordially invited to all the services in this church.

MORRIS TO SPEAK SUNDAY NIGHT.
A brilliant program is being arranged for the mammouth miss meeting to be staged in the backyard of the house clock in the Tuxnut granary school auditorium junction of Deep Creek Roadleave and Kow Road Trustum. The stellar attribution of the work is the importance of the continent and popular orator Charles Satchell Morrison, Jr., of Norfolk on the *The Illocs with Which we Build*. Young Morris has his audience he has drawn in every section of On his last appearance here hundreds were campered to stand unable to secure seats in the auditorium, even greater growth is expected in the night the public is urged to be present on time.
Proof, Virginia N. Carney will act as the master of ceremonies while Dr. W. A. Johnson, the speaker Twenty-five vice presidents of the host meeting will occupy seats upon the platform.
The musical numbers are superb. A quartet will feature the affair while a great children’s act in an ensemble will sing old plantation melodies, jubilant Congregational singing will be indulged in. Admission will be free. This will be young Morris' any appearance in Truxtum this year. The public of both races is urged to be present.
The beautiful town of Truxtum is so very popular annex to the city of Portsmouth, it is built upon the most elevated section around the port of Portsmouth. We know of no other section in the city where preparations have been made for the colored people. Over 200 families live here and not a white family in the town. The town was organized by the government housing Corporation of Washington in the plan originated from the security of homes coloured citizens in Portsmouth and Norfolk. The Government became interested from the city of having plenty of homes convenient to the Navy Yard and Navy Base, where thousands of colored laborers were daily employed.
Since the end of the world war nearly all of these handsomely built and nice new residences have been sold by the Government to those who occupied them and this town and area is thought to be the best opportunity for the city to彩色 citizens known to any section in South, and that class of colored citizens are invited to come here and occupy these nice

Foreman is one of the teachers. The Norfolk branch of the Brighton school has healthy and sanitary town has all the facilities for support of the town. Mr. Turner and Mr. Harris are the principle merehants both doing a profitable business. The Norfolk Jones branch largely read here and throughout the city and community around Portsmouth, and its power and influence is felt and acknowledged in every home it visits. Mrs. Martin is the principal of the city of Portsmouth is a popular and active business woman and she has been very successful in handling the paper. We are glad to know that the Guide's special offer is available to the paper and a nice book as a premium be taken well in this city and elsewhere.
It is quite a pleasure to have this leading colored paper of the whole country come to our home and publish so much and hastily read. The editor and publisher fathom this best of all Naper paper have built a monument to themselves and the race, may they live to encourage and inspire hearts of our group. Very little sickness is heard of in the town and community.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr. Ed. Allen of Naper who has suffered long and been confined to his home in Arthnin, Mr. W. W. Foreman after consulting to give up an effected tooth is looking and cheerful again and is in a position to attend a great bulk of houses that claims his daily attention.

OUR NATIONAL INSURANCE
ASSOCIATION
It seems almost incredible that the race has developed in the few years of freedom allotted to it at least thirteen insurance companies in as many States, and that these, for their mutual interests and protection should be able to form a National Negro Insurance Association, and, among other things, will publish a journal for their policy holders which shall emphasize the advantages of insurance, thrift, of good housing and clean living. It is a distinct sign of growth in the race of a most healthy character, and, like our phoneminal banking growth, shows that the race is aroused to its importance as an economic power with intelligence, to make the most of it by concentration of resources and management.
The selection of Mr. C. C. Spalding as president and Mr. M. S. Stewart as secretary of the association assures the success of it.
ARMS CONFERENCE WOULI SCRAP SIXTY-SIX WAR SHIPS
The Conference on the Limitation of Armaments, regarded as one of the most important international gatherings in the history of Christian mankind, convened in Washington, November, 13. Representatives of the leading Nations were gathered around the tables, and all with vively expectation of what would be the attitude of the United States, with much misgivings as to its disinterestedness and sincerity.
Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes left the expectant high dignataries in no uncertainty. He made haste to announce the hopes of the United States, and he did so without any of the usual frills of oratory or subterfuges of diplomacy. He took the Conference and mankind everywhere by surprise in the frankness and the sweeping program for scrapping existing warships and limiting the construction of others.
Secretary Hughes suggested as a working basis that Great Britain should have 22 warships of the capital class; the United States, 18, and Japan, 10. Submarine and aircraft, and their uses in war, also to be determined. He also suggested that a ten year vacation be taken by the Powers in the construction of navy craft. All the Powers subscribed to the principle of disarmament but reserved the right to contest certain phases of the program.
The Far Eastern questions came up on the second day of the meeting, with China as the storm center. The Chinese spokesman presented a strong case against being victimized in their trade and territorial rights and demanded the right to govern themselves. The Far Eastern questions promise to be the most troublesome for the Conference. The interest of Japan and China in these questions is paramount.
It is the sincere hope of mankind that the outcome of the Conference will make for less wars and more peace. Everybody realizes that all of the Nations are burdened to death with war taxation and that ruin will be the result to Christian civilization unless there shall be a cushionment, a radical curtailment of such taxation.
STUDY OF RACE HISTORY AND LITERATURE ADVISED.
Are we a reading people? Are we a people who write as well as make history?
It is an interesting coincidence that two articles dealing with the same subject by two persons widely separated in point of race but with a common viewpoint, should have stated the case in answer to our questions in the JOURNAL AND GUIDE of November 12.
Miss Mary White Owington, a devoted white woman, chairman of the board of directors of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has reached the conclusion that Negroes do not read books and that on that account publishers are very reluctant to publish books written by Negroes. That is a vitally important matter. Every time an Afro-American shows up with a book he thinks would interest mankind the publisher oftener looks at the color of the author and the fact that he has no reading among his own then at the merits of his work. That is also very true of magazine work. And this state of things accounts in large part for the fact that only the worst and least appreciable side of our thought and effort and work appear in books and magazines and newspapers, the vendors of these appealing to their white patron when they imagine prefer that viewpoint. It has given southern white writers
of history and fiction an open market to underrate and dispurge the Afro-American people to their infinite injury. The thing is in full swing now, and amounts to a campaign of defamation of the Afro-American in all of the relations of life, except the mental and servile. Until we make a reading public of our own we shall suffer terribly from this condition.
Dr. Curtier G. Woodson, Director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and editor of the Journal of Negro History, in a statement, stresses the importance to the race of getting together and putting into permanent form the history of the race in a scientific way, which his association was created to do, and which it is doing with remarkable thoroughness and success. The work cannot be over-estimated. Dr. Woodson finds a too general ignorance of race history not only among those in the street but among those in the schools and the libraries. Certainly this should not be, as the JOURNAL AND GUIDE has often, in the past, declared.
Afro-Americans must not only make history; they must write it and read it. This sentiment must grow among the intelligent and be impressed upon the minds of the masses, who do not always think for themselves.
ROAST THEM BLACK AND EAT
THEM WHITE.
Customs differ in various countries, no two countries having them precisely the same. We recognize their relation wherever we come in contact with them and easily mark their differences.
In the United States it has become a common thing to roast black persons, those doing this horrible thing acting entirely in an extra-judicial and executory capacity.
It has been testified before the Congressional Committee investigating the doings of the officials of the American Occupation in Haiti, that Haitians have really eaten white mariners. The thing is gruesome enough, like the roasting of blacks in this country, and should be probed to the bone clean through the flesh thereof. But it souls entirely savage to allege that they cook them black in the United States and eat them white in Haiti.
STRAY THOUGHTLETS By James M. Harrison
The melancholy day has come,
The saddest of the year;
The moths gat in my overcoat
Tis sad for me, I swear.
Despite the games, the great indoor sport of "home brewing" seems to grow in popularity.
The result of the late election in Virginia, shows that the Republican party had about as much show as a gasoline soaked tom cat in a volcano.
"De trouble wid dis near beer,
"mused uncle Jimson," is dut taint near enuff.
We can go along with scrapping the war ships, if they will leave us a few fishing boats.
Late reports from the fields indicate that rabbits are in disorderly retreat.
No matter what the conditions may be the logless man never kicks.
VIRGINIA NEGROES AND POLITICS
Editor, JOURNAL AND GUIDE:
It seems that, with many the action of the Negro voter on last election day begins of a reasonable explanation. But all of this perplexity is based upon a false understanding of the present temperament of the more thoughtful of our group in matters political. The Negro knows now what he has thought for twenty-five or twenty-six, but was too foolish or cowardly to admit, that is, he has been an unwelcome presence upon the Republican party; allowed to exist only because the white Republican learned the surgical operation.
Now for the Negro to insist upon having a place in this unholy, un-American, shame proof POLITICAL coterie is a stupendous exhibition of pardon grace it not to say faith in a dead lion. The most bitter utterances heard against the Negro were made by men whose only preferment was received at the hands of Colored men. Ingratitude if nothing else should have turned these men to defeat.
Now for the "Lily Black Ticket." The candidates make no canvass. The State has been under the tortuous spell of the ring rung too long already, and when it comes to a new inexperienced Colored ring, we just bucked that is all—the thing is too ridiculous for serious comment.
The Democratic party came in, for many votes where ever there was a candidate who was a personal friend of the voter. I know of many who could not clearly vote the Democratic ticket as party devotees, but experimented with their freedom once as they believe that independence in voting is the only hope of the Negro at the polls.
That can be nothing more foolish than that of the Negro making himself a target of political revenge and hatred. The person thinks of distrancing the Irish voter in New York because every party wants the votes; the same would be true with the Negro in Virginia if he had the necessary cunning. Let him, regardless of party affiliations, vote for the man whose election would seem to promise greater advantages to him; and also serve a better government generally. I cannot imagine of anything that would dull the edge of radical abuse and indifference than this procedure.
A note from the standpoint of Chris
tian morals the white man will not owe us much as long as we array our unavailing arms against his undiminished strength in Virginia. This is no compromise of manhood. I detest lying down before an antagonist as much as anyone, but to hold him in place is the worst of the world is struggling for power and gain, is unreasonable and therefore not deserving of success.
Press Opinions
COLORED VOTERS OF
NEW YORK
The Colored population of New York City sets a good political example to members of the Race throut the country; not by heckling, although that is merely a hectic demonstration borrowed from white folk. Not by demanding representation in the board of aldermen or the State legislature or congress, although a member of the Race is justified in an ambition to sit in those bodies if he have the ability and the genius of service. What the New York Colored colony has done to excite the approval, not to say the admiration, of all thinking persons is found in its disposition to break away from the thrill of a single party allegiance. It is no longer an asset of the Republican organization. And this is a hopeful sign.
In a recent speech President Harding said he hoped to see the time when the Race would divide on economic questions; when, it no longer would be wedded to one political division. There is no more reason why all Colored men should be Republicans than there is why all white men of German, or of Italian, or of Irish birth should be Republicans or Democrats. Race has nothing to do with it, and we are more than half a century away from emancipation.
The Negro Race owes the present Republican organization nothing, not even its political freedom, and the intelligent members of the Race know it. They are acting accordingly.
A NATIONAL MISFORTUNE
IT IS A NATIONAL MISFORTUNE as well as detriment to the race or group concerned, if political conditions be such as to make it necessary for any one race or group of which our citizenship is composed to act or vote in practically a solid body with any one political party. No one is obliged and independent voter who is obliged to standpoint of necessity to ignore and disregard economic and domestic questions in casting his vote.
THIS MATTER was touched upon by President Harding in his speech at Wirmingham. But his remarks along that line revealed the fact that one who is so intelligent and so well informed as he, is laboring under a misconception with reference to this subject. His idea seems to be that the growth of volunteered action and choice on the part of both races. In-point of fact it is not a race, but a party question.
THE WHITE DEMOCRATS of the South pretend that popular elections in that section are to determine which of the two races shall dominate. This is false. But it leaves our voters no other alternative than to act with whatever party, if any, that may be opposed to the color line democracy. This subterranean has worked so successfully at the South that it was thought that the same tactics would have throughout the country. Hence in the prefect election in 1920 an effort was made through indistinctly in some locations, to inure the Democratic party by making appeals to race prejudice. The president is no doubt aware this was especially true of Ohio and Illinois.
EVEN OUR OWN James Hamilton Lewis, a man up to whom we had looked to lead the fight to liberalize his own party on the race question and thus make it possible for us to vote for and act with his party without separating our rights as American citizens, allowed himself to become a victim of the demagogue play, by injecting the race question into the campaign in this state. But the white people of the North proved to be too intelligent and too patriotic to be influenced by such narrow mindedness, a fact when sir. Lewis and his party later learned to their sorrow.
INTELIGENT PEOPLE knew and know that there is absolutely no danger of "Negro domination," in any one of the Northern states, and while some of them may honestly believe, through false representation, that the same thing is not true of the South, yet even a cursory investigation would satisfy them that there is no more danger of actual physical Negro domination in South Carolina and Mississippi if sutrage in those states were not restricted, than in Ohio and Illinois.
BUT THE COLOR LINE being drawn by THE Democrats leaves us unfortunately, no other alternative than to vote against the candidates of the democratic party. It sometimes appears in view of this situation, that members of our group that it necessary to vote for a candidate labelled Republican who is otherwise objectionable and against a candidate labelled Democratic, who is otherwise acceptable. When this barrier is removed, as is gradually being done, especially in the North, East and West, then the solidarity of the Race vote, which President Harding characterized, and correctly so, as a misfortune, will no longer exist.
AS A CONCRETE EXAMPLE the fact has been brought out that the recently organized Ku Klux Klan is a secret oath-bound political organization having for its object the inculcation of a sentiment of heftility and antipathy against four classes or groups of American citizens, namely, Roman Catholics, Jews, Colored Americans, and foreign born Americans. Suppose this organization should designate this information of a political party and then nominate dates for office on a plan that is regulated, would any same person speak members of any one of the government to support the candidates or that party? This would be necessary to human nature, and yet that is the position in which the Colored voters have been placed by the media and the attitude of the Democratic party towards which we regret to note is called republicans are inclined to follow. -Chicago Defender,

"Birthright" Pv T. S. Stribling, drawings by F. Louis Morn. Appearing as a serial in the Century Magazine beginning with the October number. For sale or can be ordered at news stands. Price per copy, fifty cents.
I am leaving my line of books, to note, before the novel progresses too far, the serial "Birthrights" which is appearing in the Century magazine. Every colored reader ought to get this serial for it represents a turning point in Negro literature in America.
T. S. Stribling, as the biographical note tells us, is a young southern man, born in a small village on the Tennessee river who has studied law, turned from that to literature, and has known many privations in his wanderings over four continents. His story is laid in a little town like that of his birth, but us one reads one tells the detached view of the traveller who has known many places and can back to his own home divorced of jealousy. The hero of "Birthright" is named Noe Peter Steiner, born in "Hooker's Band" who on graduating from Harvard returns to the shabby little town where he spent his boyhood bent upon doing constructive work. On his way home he meets Tump Pack, whom he grew up with, a rough, uneducated youth who yet wears the congressional military medal upon his coat. The two land from the boat at Hooker's bend where the colored people come in great numbers to meet their hero, Tump Pack. But Tump was walked only a little way up the street who the constable steps up, arrests, and charges of crap shooting and puts him in handcuffs to the immense mirth of the white beholders. They explode with delight over it. "Just as Tump was a coming down the street at the head of the coons, out stops Robbs—"here the little man who tells the story is overcome with laughter.
Peter finds the reception the whites give hi mequally cheering. He gets a deed for a piece of land for his school only to learn that it has what is colloquially known as a "nigger stopper" and that he has been cheated out of his money. And against this we have the picture of the white constable going through every home of the colored quarter because Miss Lou Arkwright has lost her turkey reastrap, "sarazie," sarazie, Caroline (Peter's father) this high gah Town is a white man's pocket, Evuh time he misplace "somp," he feel in his pocket to see of it aint thaiu." And she continues to scold as the constable continues to search unavailably. Petty thievery, ignorance, shabbiness, all this one sees in Rooker's Bend, but the author makes us feel the desire of the Negroes, through Peter, to get away from their ignorance and low estate and the intention of the whites to keep them, by every and any means, where they are. There is a vivid description of Jim crow travelling on poor trains, stopping in an obscure place over night. "This unremitting insistence upon color, this continual insistence upon the ways, gradually gave Peter a lonely feeling. The impression grew upon him that he was being handled with tongs, along back alley-routes; that he and his race were something to be kept out of sight as much as possible, as careful housekeepers man-ouver their slops."
But the text is only half the story. The illustration by Morn, one of our great mural painters, again mark a new departure in the Negro magazine story. Here are no caricatures but works of art showing the colored man at his best. There are four full page illustrations in the two numbers, and framed. There is a man and framed. When one thinks of the rotten pictures in our cheap magazines, one is reconcilled to the price one has to pay for the Century.
Fifty cents is a good deal for a single copy of a magazine. But I for my part, would rather follow Peter Steiner this year through his struggles to educate, the children at Hooker's Bend, through his love story with Cissie Diline, to watch Dougless Fairbanks or any other movie have flash through a myriad films. The movie here always does exactly what he is expected to do. He has nothing fresh or new to show us. If he meets us, we will threadbare utterly unconventional type not exist now and probably never existed. But Strilling is travelling through fresh fields, he is showing us the actual life of colored and white in a small southern town. And his interest is so compelling that if we once start out with him we shall find that we are compelled to follow him eagerly to the end.

with absolutely no guarantee to offer for party solidarity or the upward trend of business. The social sphere is developed with confusion and misapprehension as the equalities of nations; while Christianity has been reputed as having failed. But has it? Christianity as taught by Christ and practiced by the Apostles was a practical Christianity—a Christianity that met adequately the needs of the poor and soul. And if Christianity is good, the acid test today, it must again meet the unmet needs of those who look to it for succor.
Since those who profess Christianity ally themselves with the organization known as the church, then the church must arise and answer the challenge of the age or other welfare organizations which are rendering very acceptably, tangible service, will return the church again into the wilderness. This is already evidenced by the facts collected in recent survey-made of churches with membership that reach over the five hundred thousand of these churches with these large memberships were able to assemble one hundred members of their congregations to a mid-week service. When questioned why not attend these services, the reply invariably was, "other meetings to attend," and when questioned what kind of meeting could keep a Christian from carrying out his obligation made at the church alter, the reply in most instances, was "Lodge meetings." Then when reminded of the sacredness of their church obligation "not to put any organization of human origin above the church" they would reply with more truth than poetry, "The lodge will offer us when we are sick and will offer us when we are dead." This to my mind shows conclusively that the average Christian member longs for the practical Christianity as outlined by Christ and practiced by the Apostles. This leads me to conclude that the present day church is challenged by the opportunities and needs of the trying period thru which we are now passing to make its professed christianity practical in its every day application.
The church located in a particular community needs to ascertain the actual conditions of that community, the number of people living in that area, housing conditions, as to physical condition, sanitation; the moral atmosphere. If these are not what they should be then the church shouldert its influence to have them changed. If the houses are physically impaired, the health of the occupants is endangered. If they do not have sufficient rooms for the privacy of each sex, the morals will be low.
If the educational facilities are inadequate, then the church should cooperate with the school authorities and make ample provision for the children of the community. If this co-operation is refused, then the church should do as it once did, establish its own schools and equip them to support them. Then the parents can have a voice in saying what shall be taught, and who shall teach. Both of these points deserve the attention of the parents. Not only should they know what is being taught in the classroom, but the interested parents should, but want to know about the moral as well as the educational qualifications of the teachers in these class-repairs.
The church should ascertain if the community is properly provided with wholesome amusements, for every age, youth, adolescent, adult and middle, and even old age require some kind of amusement. And if they are not given the best, they will accept whatever kind offered. The church should see if the play grounds are properly supervised, if they are under Christian influences. Find out who runs the play-houses and the kind of exhibitions given. If they are found to be immoral, the church should bring all the pressure to bear it con summon, and have them put on a show that will elevate and inspire, as well as entertain.
Christ spent much of his time in costing to health the that were sick, benefited, such as naturally concerned about the health of the community. It should ascertain the disease most prevalent, locate hospitals that treat those diseases, but on a health compaign, employ registered nurses if necessary and by the community nursing. This is for

ible from many points of view
The present unemployment situation should claim special attention of the church, and something done to assist those who are involuntary idle. While the church should not attempt to lay blame at the door of any cause or contributing causes of this period of depression, it should teach and preach that the employer should furnish his employee with wholesome working conditions and pay him a wage commensurate with his ability and faithfulness. And at the same time make it equally as clear that it is the employees ethical duty to render an honest days toil for whatever compensation agreed upon.
While the church is not a political institution it should be however, interested in civic affairs. It should know who the office seekers are, their qualifications and their past records; their private and public opinions on issues of community interest. For if the officers of the community are medicine men—men who can be bought with the coin of evil doers, then the opportunity for social and spiritual uplift will pass unused. Every community has its delinquency, these deserve the careful consideration and sympathy of the church. The priest, the ex-priester, the ex-convicted, the ex-girl—should be studied, pitied, and given the hand of restoration and a place within the church of wholesome environments.
Christianity has at all times had the problem of the aged and poor to solve. These classes deserve more than cold charity dolled out to them by municipal powers. They yearn and appreciate such ministries made by the invisible fire of love. The hour the dail of all Christiandom paints the dail twelve for the church to express its sanctity in some other form, rather than crowding the Sunday morning services, and hearing what they call in "good sermon" and singing "Hallelujah Tis Done." The above suggested outlines will serve as splendid for practical expression of christianity. They are not the fancies of a radio corner, for there are Negro churches that are giving vent to their spiritual thirst by daily working out a similar picture. These churches are unanimous in their belief that they are now conforming more nearly to the New Testament teachings than ever before. a proof positive that they are abundant in Master, providence is abundantly missing their efforts. Their memberships have increased, their collections have many instances, doubled, and above the spiritual fervor, fine fellowship and sweet communion that pervades the entire memberships is marvelous.
Q. My brother wanted to go in business and he needed a horse. He went to a man to buy a horse and did not have all of the money and I told the man if my brother did not pay the balance on the horse, I would pay him. Will my brother buy the horse but he has never received the balance due. Can he make me pay for the horse?
A. S. B.
A. No, you do not have to pay for the horse if you simply made a verbal promise to do so.
Q. I was gambling with a fellow and he made a bet and I won his money. He gave me a check to over the bet and when I went to the bank to have the check cashed he had stopped payment or it. What can I do a
bout getting my money?
A. Theres isn't any thing you can do. If the man with whom you were playing does not feel disposed to pay you, you cannot force him to do no under the law.
Q. I endorsed a note for a man and there were two other endorsers on the note besides myself. The man failed to pay the note and the holder has filed suit against me to recover the money. Doesn't he have to sue the other two endorsers too? And will I have to pay the money myself.
A. No, the holder of the note does not have to make the other persons part to the suit unless he wants to. And if he is successful in his action, you will have to pay the entire amount of the note. Of course you will have right of action against the other two endorsers to recover their share.
Q. I bought a piece of property from a man some time ago and I found out about three days ago that there was a loan on the property to the amount of one hundred and ten dollars. Isn't the man who sold me

What lies on the other side? What befalls life's travelers when they use the wrong key? What awaits them when they exercise wise discretion?
Beyond the threshold of a door may be found things grave or gay; obscured behind its polished panels pain may lurk or happiness endure.
The present day is but the antelope to tomorrow; the environment of the moment is but the setting of the stage for the next step.
We are all opening doors; no individual remains stationary in the vestibule, but with key in hand he approves the unopened door, turns the bolt back either ascends or descends the stair of accomplishment.
Behind the doors one may love, content, honor, unhindered, fitness, heartaches, or the wreck of prism cells. You and I have all the keys we can open any door we like; we may walk into the pamplied chambers of success or the meager lodgings of poverty and want.
There are keys to the realms of happiness, smiles, thrift, safety, good citizenship and many other cheerful places—then there are the other keys, to avoid. Your future and all of ours will unpack our unlocking the right doors. Let's careful.
Life presents a lot of important decisions which have to be made, but most of them are easy to those who have a growing interest account in this strong institution. For them the side of the door will hold but little passion.

Vice President Sees In Thrift Habit Sign Of Good Citizenship
Saving of Money, He Says, Is Foundation of Character—Spendthrift Is of No Value to the Community.
One of the banks of Minnesota recently conducted a Thrift campaign to encourage the people of that city in the practice of systematic saving of money and wise investment. Newspapers of that city devoted much space to the subject and considerable publicity was given to message from the Hon. Calvin Coolidge, Vice President of the United States. The Vice President said:
"The conveniences of modern civilization have been secured solely by means of the accumulation of capital. Modern conditions have been established by saving of money. It is this which has built great cities, laid out spacious avenues, established sewer systems, constructed railroads, provided gas and electricity for daily use, and developed the whole economic system of modern society. Money is not to be saved for or own sake, but by reason of the additional power for service that it gives to its possessor. The combined savings of the people are the only support of modern civilization.
There is another reason for saving money and that is because in more cases it is likewise the foundation of character. It is the result of self-control, in the first instance, and of the use of sound judgment. A spendthrift is of no value to himself or to community in which he lives. The dissipation of capital is the dissipation of the power for public service. The accumulation of capital is the accumulation of power which results not only in serving one's self but in the promotion of the public welfare. Where there is capital there is employment. Where there is more capital there is more employment and higher wages. Among the real benefactors of the race have been those who, by self-control and organization, have accumulated capital which has been put to the service of their fellow men in the ways shown.
It is frequently mentioned,
"Saving is representative of good
citizenship. It is difficult to imagine
a thrifty man who is so bad citizen.
There is nothing that so contributes to
the stability of society as the general
ability to owe a home, which results
from saving."
the property responsible for that
money?
A. No, the man is not responsible but the property is. You should have had the title to the property examined and found out what encumberances there were on it before you bought it. Of course you will have to pay that lien or your property will be sold to satisfy it.

Asheville, N. C.—The grand jury of the Superior Court converged here has just completed one of the fullest sessions ever held.

Blyden Branch Library Community Asset
By Chas M. T.ucker
Mr. Edward A. Baker, the efficient assistant of the Tidewater Bank and Trust Commission, recent talk on Trust, entitled "Lets Go Down to the Bank," "When we journey to a moving picture theatre, our sub-conscious minds grow in attention of pleasure. When we attention of we take on a mind receptive for the期望 we expect to receive. When we get on our souls lean towards the inherent religious instincts that all men possess. We become pleasurable, spiritually or open-mindedly inclined in exertion to the things we are still doing inside of them. Going further, Mr. Baker mentioned the peculiarly thrill our sub-conscious mind receives when we, after having saved, "go down to the bank." And, just as illustrated in the above conclusion there are other thrills our sub-conscious receives; consequently, with the establishment of the colored library, conne the opportunity to "Go down to the library."
A library to a community is an invaluable asset and much credit is due the president of the Library Board, Mr. Dogan for his untiring efforts in making it possible for the colored citizens of New York to have the Blyden Branch Library. The members of the board consisting of Messrs. D. G. Jacos, vice-president; Correct Williams, secretary; Mrs. Ida M. Hay, treasurer, and Mrs. Jessie E. M. Hay, have also contributed much of their time in promoting the library.
Through the establishment of the library, an opportunity is given us of reading From some of the greatest writers of fiction, history, adventure, literature and science subjects. The Hyden Branch consists of, approximately, 1100 volumes, excluding the magazines and those along those lines. The librarian informs us that 2 to 30 people visit the library daily for reading only, and that 400 or more books are issued weekly. From those open July 1 to August 29 approximately, 2,500 visitors for read only, and the issue of over 6,600 books.
Besides the fact that we have the library, there are two essential goods which come from it. The first is the opportunity to our own works of art and literature, weekly and monthly periodicals. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the library for the Study of Negro Life and wrote the statement that the Negro knew little about his own history and life. Woodson was also of the opinion that much of the blame rests among the institution's race and to such an opinion there is a deeper desire for knowledge of Negro life. An opportunity to read of our own works of art, literature, current history and history in a Negro library means in opportunity to colored Norfolkians many communities cannot boast of.
The second reason is seen through the use of the library by the children. The librarian is quite enthusiastic and makes every short to satisfy their desires. and you see them there then turning "in this one, and please let me have this one."
A young reading genius makes for a higher educated race, and the Negro youth should be encouraged to read his own history and literature the history and literature of other races. Mostly all the school children visit the library," the librarian said, "but we more from the Booker T. Washington school, the J. C. Price school, and the Carey school than from any of the other schools, and we are always pleased to serve them and others."
The habit of reading can be in stil-
tle, but in south there would be a
nigher development. Manhood and wom-
hood and womans are reached,
manhood and womans' mentality would be backed
with manhood and knowledge re-
ceived through the manhood stil-

Max Yergan Makes Stirring Appeal
(By T. P. Turner)
(By Y. M. Turner.) White would be convinced one of the strongest appends that a speaker has made before a Norfolk audience was delivered by Mr. Max Yergun last Sunday afternoon in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. For about forty-five minutes the speaker held his heart-pounding and carefully unfolded the speech he delivered to the speech was a masterpiece from the standpoint of vividness and description, discussing briefly and yet clearly his previous work in the Foreign Missionary fields. Only those who knew him well hearing the words as they fell from his great missionary are able to realize the importance and bigness of the task that awaits him upon his return to Africa. In a most elegant manner he told of the millions of illiterate and hearing sight to blaze their path from this economic and spiritual freedom. It was surprising to hear of the great work done by the six Y. M. C. A. workers sent over during the war and encouraging to know of the great work remaining four and others to follow in the magic death of Ballou and Prichard was related by the speaker.
Mr. Yergan spoke, with much fervor as he told how gladly the natives received him and how quickly they were to become his friends. He told after being told an African lad after being told that he was a brother and his sisters wanted to know why more of us did not come over and help them since we were so fortunate in having homes, business and intelligence here. The appeal was so strong that immediately pledging themselves to give their contribution for this work. The magnanimity o f the work was so great that a large fund will be necessary to keep the work going. To this end several of the Y. M. C. A.'s contributions to give large contributions for the support of this work, and Norfolk is expected to do her part in this cause.
Mr. Yergan without a doubt is the peer of any of the Student Y. M. College workers, and is in fact a National information figure in the Association work bank period he has been in the work he has made a name for himself a name that will never die. Despite the fact that previous sacrifices in going to Africa have been made by Mr. Yergan has again answered call which this time leads him into the wilds of South Africa; a section herefore unpenetrated by any of the work bank was only after considerable effort that A. Committee was able to secure permission for Mr. Yergan to enter South Africa. Two more workers are to come soon after Mr. Yergan who will sail with him for Africa. The Foreign work Club that was formed to support this work in Africa has pledged itself to do all that it can for the work, and any one who helps in this work may send their contributions to Turner, Secretary of the Club, Tidewater Bank and Trust Company.
CORRECTION
It (the Y. M. C. A.) is the first aid of the church in the solution of the many problems affecting its members and the State. The church caners it cannot fail to take the side of justice in industrial and ecclesiastical work, but it fail to point out and affords justice when the thing man have been calling justice has degenerated into oppression. The Y. M. C. A. works as an employer and employee, and while seeking to out the distress incident to the problem of unemployment, it is giving much of its attention to the problems of unemployment.
It is entering the industrial plants and is providing a promising man employed at a business job—a job with no future—it already works with the employer whereby this man allowed to transfer to a better position where he will have a chance of promotion, and it secures for this blindness, a boy or a young man with little experience with the under standing that he will have at this job until he prepares himself capable of rendering a higher service.

Miss Eliza Coppage's work in the world of dramatic art.
Mrs. Williams made a very strong plea for strong character building for a more perfect manhood, womanhood, physically, morally and intellectually, and group as well as individual. "Let us rise up to build churches, building and loan associations, banks and all the things that tend towards the betterment of mankind. In building, however, the speaker warns us indifferent people, pursuers, quitters and unencountered. "But," Mrs. Williams said, "there are the true and steady builders who carry the job to job combination—and they are the ones who build churches. Communication was voiced toward the church. N. A. A. C. P. and prayer was urged for the success of the limitation of armament conference. Many timely amulets were used which caused lessons could be learned from the closest from her admirers. Mrs. Williams was asked to present some of her readings to which she responded with "An incident in Ireland," a amulet collection. "What's the use?" The Definition of the program. The literary part of the program closed with a poem, "Little Girl." In interpreting her readings, the displayed rare ability as an eloquent interpretation was further exemplified as artistic ability in egently portraying the characters of the monologue.

SECOND CALVARY BAPTIST
CHURCH
Last Sunday was the close of the eight weeks drive we had on against satan. The rain and cold wind were barriers to all who came to church but a good number were out both morning and evening.
Dr. Baker preached for us last week, and all who heard him enjoyed his message. His last sermon on Friday night brought a large crowd out to hear him, the meeting closed with a number of sinners around looking on.
The Sunday school was largely attended, and the Superintendent G. C. Madison and his teachers were at their post of duty. The pastor spoke at 11:30 from Acts 20:22-24, subject: Carefully accepting the charge, the pastor Dr. Rosser of the C. M. E. church preached and we did enjoy his message.
During our eight weeks drive we had 500 conversions and 640 additions to our church, and new life put in the church in every department. The pastor has baptized 250 and a number of others are waiting to be baptized, baptized 64 women yesterday at the church and the men service. Men will be baptized next Sunday morning.
This week is being spent in organizing every department of the church so that the number who have come in may find work, that they may not be idle. The program for our church for 1922 as now being outlined by our pastor will be the greatest success. The program will be done, and more money will be given for education and missions.
More working space will be made around our church, so that the large number who have minds to work, may have space to work. Never has there been such anxiety on the part of Christians to serve in our church now. The pastor will leave next Monday in Lynchburg. The day closed with 6 additions, 61 baptized. Collection $331.50.
ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. SUNDAY

Despite the inclement weather last Sunday there was a fair attendance at all the services. It was Quarterly Meeting Day and Dr. C. R. Sanders, Presiding Elder delivered two splendid sermons from 2 T.i.i. 215 and Acts 2:30. Teh Love Feast at 2:30 p. m., was indeed a fine meeting and greatly enjoyed by those present. Baskets for the shut-outs and shut-ins were as is the usual custom sent out by the church on Wednesday afternoon. St. John's Cadets assisting in the distribution.
Thanksgiving service was held at 12 noon on Thursday conducted by the pastor. The decoration and display of fruits and vegetables are very suggestive of the season. On next Sunday the pastor will fill the pulpit morning and evening. Morning subject: "For What am I Thankful?" Thanksgiving service.
Strangers and visitors in the city are always welcome.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
The pastor delivered a searching Baptismal address last Sunday morning. Not only were the thirty-nine candidates awaiting the sacred ordinance strengthened, but the older Christians were greatly benefited and insisted Rev. Phil was used as the basis for his tuk Phil. The little daughter of Mrs. Tilley was prayed for, during this service. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were well attended in spite of the cold showers. At 3 p. m., a joyful time was spent by the members in the observance of the Lord's Supper. The hand of fellowship was extended to 94 new members.

GRACE P. E. CHURCH
Corner Cumberland and Kort Sts.
The Church School met last Sunday morning at the usual hour, 9:30. The Supt. W. H. Johnson was at his post and conducted the Devotional Exercises. The attendance was very good taking into consideration the continuous downpour of rain. Each teacher made an effort to be present and everything was done in order and decorum. The children are very anxious for their Christmas exercises as is shown in their desire to learn the music. This is a splendid spirit and we are expecting good results. Dr. Lee and I were in the school in the morning to make the children of the parish happy. We are bound to have several rehearsals to perfect our program hence the need of the presence of the children.
The congregation turned out in full during the morning service, Dr. Lee preached his second sermon on the Prophets text, Isa verse 1. The text was treated in elegant terms, the Prophet's birthplace, his reputation, his coronation, his desire that all men should be well of all that the Sermon was well acceptable to all and many of the members of the congregation expressed themselves at the close of the service. The offering was very good.
We had thought that the evening service was washed out on account of the day showers, but a goodly number of the showers, and waterier were present and listened to mon on, "The Three Jerusalem's text, Gen. 14, verse 18. The order gave thanks for the sermon and presented a purse in appreciation, which was thankfully received. And the order was asked to come again.
This Sunday is Advent Sunday, the first of the Christian year. We are expecting every one rain ♂ sunshine. Visitors are always treated kindly.
Hours of service, 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Last Sunday was very inclement, yet a good number came to Sunday school and to the morning service. The pastor, Rev. Geo. H. West, spoke from 2 Tim. 4: 6-7, "Paul's Charge to Timothy." The special effort will be continued on the third Sunday in December. Mrs. Spence, mother of Mr. John Stuice is much better, after Mr. Stuice illness.

Mrs. William L. and the Moderator's of the General Assembly proclamation was read by Mrs. W. E. Green. Miss M. A. Moseley told of "Thanksgiving in Old Norfolk Mission College Days," and the pastor delivered the sermon, taking for his subject, "Five Things for which We Ought to be Thankful."
BANK ST. BAPTIST CHURCH
Last Sunday was a great day at Bank St. church. Though the weather was somewhat against churchgoers, a good number were present at Sunday school and a much larger audience greeted the pastor at the morning service, and at night, also, though it had rained all day, a fairly large crowd gathered to participate in the closing services of the day. The pastor, true to promise preached in the morning on the subject of "Pilate's Question." At night his discourse centered around "The Prodigial Son."
An added feature to the regular Sunday services was the launching of our regular pre-Xmas Revival. Our lauriers along this line resulted in six additions. Monday night the Rev. Dr. Erdridge, of Petersburg, Va., was on the scene and took full charge of the revival. He presided over the service, which resulted in three conversions. A fine crowd gathered to hear his initial sermon in Bank St, church, and the Spirit came with Power. He is a great preacher, and splendid songster, "He hear him." The public is cordially invited to attend these services. Special services Friday night for school children. Rev. Eldridge will be with us for two weeks.

METROPOLITAN A. M. E. ZION CHURCH.
Although we had very inclement weather on last Sunday our services were very well attended. The Sunday school at 9:30 had a good attendance considering the weather. The lesson was very instructively taught and the lesson as a whole was very inspiring. We are looking for a full attendance on the Sunday. At the morning presbytery hour the pastor, Rew. N. D. King was greeted by a fairly good audience. He delivered a strong Gospel message to the edification of all present.
At the evening service the pastor again preached a soul-stirring Gospel message to the faithful few present. Next Sunday will be the last Sunday in this conference year and it is敏捷ly hoped that all the members who in the arrears will come out on next Sunday and do the very best they can their obligations and thus enable the pastor to go up to the annual conference with all rounded reports. The Cradle Roll Exercises scheduled for Sunday were postponed or account of the very recent weather on last Sunday and will be rendered this Sunday afternoon at three-thirty. Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services.
PETERSBURG, VA.
(Miss Otelin E. Johnson)
Vesper services at the W. Y. C. A. were rarely attended Sunday afternoon. They were considered the vespes of the season. Miss Otelin Harrison presided at Gildafle Baptist church, were a drawing for a large number of young people Sunday afternoon. The exercises were of a very splendid nature. * Mr. Wm. Spratley, for mornon was a widely known jitney driver, departed this life Wednesday night, Nov. 9, at 9 o'clock. Mr. Spratley's death came as a shock to the entire community. He had been in failing淋水 for several months, but was able to render his services to the public. At the time of Mr. Spratley's death he was very ill, and he was returning home after going out to secure a number of her. The funeral services took place at Gildafle Baptist church, Monday Nov. 14. Rev. S. A. Brown, officiated. * The sympathy of the community goes on to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Elder, of 501 Carson Bt, on account of the death of their
COLORED TEACHERS ASSOCIATION, PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY
The Superintendent, Mr. J. H. Carroll of Princess Anne Co., called the colored teachers together, and delivered to them a very instructive address on "Teaching and School regulation." The address was very helpful to all present. Some of the teachers expressed themselves as being helped by the address. A vote of thanks was extended to the Supt. Mrs. Manuith E. Gray, the Industrial Supervisor of the School Schools of the county spoke briefly on her work as being in a prosperous condition. She and the superintendent, both requested that the teachers would do what they can to make the industrial work, a continual success.
At the close of the superintendent's and Mrs. M. E. Grays addresses Mrs. W. Whidby called the Princess Anne Teachers Association to order. The following business transacted: officers of the association elected; Mrs. L. Whidby, President; Mrs. Sarah Ridick, secretary; Mrs. Sarah Woodley, treasurer; Mrs. L. Whidby was elected to attend the St. Teachers Association to be held at Danville, 15th, to 18th of this month. The Teachers Association of Princess Anne County adjourned. Benediction by Rev. F. P. Saunders.
All Arrangements Made For Cincinnati Conference.
"On to Cincinnati!" is the slogan heard from all points where delegates are preparing for their trip to the Ohio City for the events of December 1. On those dates will be held the two National Conference of the Colored Men's Department of the Young Men's Christian the time for the conference draws near, the indications not only as to since but as to the usefulness of the conference become increasingly assuring.
Arrangements for the conference are now virtually complete. Reduced rates have been obtained on all rail ramps for the delegates. They expected to be on hand for the opening session at 8 p. m., on Thursday, December 1st and should go promptly on arrival at Cincinnati to the Y. M. C. A. Branch at 636 Ninth Street. Lodge's breakfast can be secured in Cincinnati at $1.50 per day and other meals will be available at reasonable rates in the Y. M. C. A. cafeteria.
The registration fee of $3.00 charged to all delegates is applied to meeting the expenses of the conference which self-supporting and self-entertainment registration by mail, to J. E. Moorland, 412 Jackson Ave., New York City, rather than being until arrival at Cincinnati is preferable because the delegate is thus sure of securing entertainment facilities. The many friends in Cincinnati, both white and colored, of the Colored Men's Department are cooperating to make the stay of the various delegates most pleasant stay. Those in charge of the preparation of the program point to that this will be a conference in the true sense of the word, not a formal series of meetings in which only selected speakers will have opportunity to express their opinions. The aim is to make the whole occasion especially enjoyable by lay-workers and every effort is being made to have the entire committee in management or board of directors of each Young Men's Christian Association in attendance.
The conference program will concern itself with the needs of colored men and boys, and how their needs differ from much the cooperative effort of Christian adults and Christian agencies. The orientation of the practical and inspirational in the program becomes evident by a glance at some of the topics for address and discussion, as follows: Obligation and discussion, the Hope of the Word; Outstanding goals of the Cokod Men and Boys of Africa; Our Responsibility to Africa.
Fundamentals of Organization and Operation of the Young Men's Christian Association; The Status of the Colored Men's Department in the Brotherhood; The Qualification and Duties of a Committeeman Factors Involved in an Enlarged Program; Nation-Wide Cooperation.
In order that the best of information and the fullest measure of intellectual and inspirational resources may be valuable for the conference, able representative leaders have been secured as speakers. Their task will be to open the way for the discussions and coalesce the addresses which will follow these conferences among the speakers will be the following:
Dr. John R. Mott, New York, N. Y.; President John Hope, Atlanta, Ga.; L. Wilbur Messer, Chicago, Ill.; Prof. Frank L. Williams, St. Louis, Mo.; Bishop Robert E. Jones, New Orleans, La.; Dr. R. R. Moton, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; President J. Stunley Durkee, Washington, D. C.; President John W. Davis, Institute, W. Va.; Dr. W. E. Haynes, Washington, D. C.; Dr. W. W. Johnson, Atlanta, Ga.; James Weldon Johnson, New York, N. Y.; Dr. C. V. Roman, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. W. A. Method, Columbus, Ohio; F. B. Ransom, Indianapolis, Indiana.

NEGRO TEACHERS IN SOUTH
CAROLINA
The Bettis Academy summer schvol,
which began on June 20th and closed
on duly 2th, brought together 227
colored teachers Gvomeny 177; nien,
BOY from widely-seattered || Sauth
Carolina districts, which are waking
up and discovering the valte of edu:
ccition.
This record-breaking attendance
was entirely in keeping: with the fine
Negro summer school attendance
which was reported From all sections
of the South. South Carolina, for
example, during the summer of 1921
sent one-third of all her Negro teach-
ers_to school. oa
‘The teachers, according ta the re-
ports of H. P. Butler af Aiken, S.C.
the director, and his untiring,’ cheer:
ful, hardworking associates, ‘showed
a deep interest in all their work. By
diligent application these South Curo-
Yinw colored teachers improved them:
selves in every possible way.
South Cnrolina had more Negra
tenchers, more Negro children in
school. and more Negro schoolhouses
than it had ever had before. “Last
year 49 Negro schools were built and
this year probably 100 more will be
built,” he said. “Last year the South
Carolina legislature gave $15,000 for
Negro schools and Negroes themselves
added unother $20,000 to this umount
Julius Rosenwald of Chienzo is siving
more money to build Negro schools
than the State legiskiture is iiving
for white and Negro school buildings.
It is still a fact that 80 por cent of the
Negro children of South Carolina are
in the second gende or below.--South-

(Bu Norwood C. Hines) 7
Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 19—In a hard
Wattle here Ceday’ Virginia Seminary
downed the West Virginia Collegiate
Institute, 3 to 0. The only score of
the jaime came as the result of a drop
kick ly A. Moore Crom Institute's 25
yard line in the second period. Twice
the Seminary by a succession of alf-
tackle plays and cross bucks hnd
marched down the field only to fail
to make a touchdown. On the first
gecasion, Watson actually carried the
ball over. He was tackled by an op-
ponent, however, Just inside the goal
ine, and the whistle blew immed-
intely, As he fell he strecthed across
the goal line, but the refree brought
the bail back to the spot. where the
whistle had blown, This was the
fourth down, and the bail went over,
Holland kicking out of danger. A-
gain Seminary rushed the ball down
the field, only to be held when within
the ten-rard tine, On this occasion,
Quarterback Moore used what seemed
to him to be the best way of scoring.
Kicking the bail from a difficult angle
xl the side of the field, the bull clear-
ing the bar by only a few inches,
The game was a hard contest with
all the advantays and most of the
brenks im. Seminary's favor. ‘The
Dragons time after time lore huge
holes it the opposing line. The Muun.
Laineers seemed to be always there
with the steength when her goal was
in imminent danger. Watson sygain
stood out for his slar playing both
an the offense and and the defense.
He ix probably the best defensive
hack that Seminary has ever had, and
added to this, he isa very consistent
gniner. A. Moore's superb general.

ship, bowever, was the one important
factor in the same. Coley. fer Some
inary and Harris and Sardwell for
Ihstitute also showed up well, the
latter two contributing several spec-
tucultr dashes.
The game was played under very
adverse conditions, Officials who had
heen selected early were, because of
cortain conditions not present. Dr.
Morrison, of Howard was secured by.
the Seminary to handle the game at
the Iast moment, but, West Virginia
refused to accept his service on the
fround that he wus objectionuble, and
that they intended to play his team
next year. In order to satisfy the
West ‘Virginia coach, and to have a
gume for the spectators who had
come from out of thecity, it was nec-
essary "to use white officials, v pro-
ceeding that Virginia Seminary
stunds unalterably opposed to. The
attitude of Coach ‘Brack of West Vir-
Kinin in dogmatically opposing the
services of Coach Morrison, whom
everyone admits to be n footbuil auth-

(Dy J. L. Whitehead)
Lawrenceville, Va. Nov, 19—In
one of the hardest fought, cleanest
and most thrilling gridiron battles of
the year St. Paul Normal and Indus

by the score of 7 to 0. “Eight hun-

Jong be remembered by those who saw
their sons, brothers, relatives, and ac-
quaintances on the opposing teams
scramble desperately for football su-
premacy.
St. Augustine's and St. Paul staged
a masterful contest. St. Augustine's
Played a great yame; her formations
were superb. Se, Paul was too much
however, for the’ visitors, and. tuday
the Orange and Black boys reign su-

vivacity, versatility, tenacity, and
method of attack were at times fath-
omless to the Carolinians. She open-
ed up her potent plays, which were
coupled with w high dégree of exe-
cution. The game was brilliantly
played; each team showed that it
had been well trained in the. tech-
nique of the game, that unity was
the foundation’ of its training, that
it was familiar with all formations,
and that its plays had been. built
upon a strictly scientific basis, —In-
trinsic sportsmanship over shadowed
all else.
