CARTER, President DOCTRINE OF GOOD WILL IN GEORGIA Better Element Of Both Races Hold Notable Conference In Athens With Dr. Moton, Judge Cobb and Others As Speakers. "CANNOT LIVE NOW IN THE PAST Athens, Ga.—That the doctrine of good-will is "leaving the lump", of inter-racial relations and hastening the day of better understanding in the South is borne out in a wonderful meeting which was held here last week in the Colonial theatre. The meeting was the conclusion session of the Northeastern Georgia Conference on welfare, and the general topic for discussion was "Recognition of the relationship between the zones." The speakers on the program included Hon. Gee: Foster Peabody, of New York; Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. James E. Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute and Dr. Jas N. H. President of the Jeanes Slater Boards and Judge Andrew J. Cobb of Athens. Judge Cobb who represents the highest type of Southern aristocracy spoke of the relationship between the success prior to the Civil War, that Cobb cannot live now in the past." Dr. Dillard presented five facts concerning the race relationship situation and three conclusions which we summed up briefly; that the South must recognize that are going to live side by side; that the South must recognize the economic importance of the Negro; that the two races can live side by side working out their common interests and segregations, free of any friction; that there are many more colored people who are well educated and refined right here in the South than the average white people with the northern white people justly claim that they are Christians. His conclusions were: Since the two races are to live together all should be educated that the southern people should treat with utmost consideration the people of another race who are making an AGAIN TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS We have resorted to much leniency and courtesy toward our subscribers, hoping thereby to encourage them to renew their subscriptions promptly. We have sent hundreds of them their subscription to almost months after their subscription expired, and while many of them have shown their appreciation for this favor and renewed... There are many yet far behind, whom we would delight to hear from. We fail to hear from them within the next five days, our patience will cease to be a virtue, and their names will be dropped from mailing list. effort to rise in the world, and the time has come when the best thought of the South must be given to the question of justice to all people." Dr. Moton was the only Colored speaker and much of the interest was centered about his remarks. In his characteristic way, Dr. Moton told the white people that he would tell them what the Colored people had in their hearts, their concerns the white people and on. The hand he would tell the Colored people what the white people had in the "back of their heads" concerning Colored people. This gave him an idea of the difficulties facing problems which are faced by both of the races in reaching a happy solution of the problem. ARMSTRONG AIMED TO PREPARE MEN FOR LIFE Mrs. Edith Armstrong-Talbot Interprets Her Father's Ideals Of Education. Hampton, Va.—That Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong's ideal for Negroes was the kind of education which enable colored men and women to live successfully in the same world of mind and spirit that the white man should oppose, pressured by Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbot, daughter of General Armstrong, in a recent address on "Armstrong and His Ideals," delivered in the Queen Street Baptist Church of Hershey, Mrs. Talbot declared that the white man's world is ruled by mind, not by feelings and emotions, and that the people who allow themselves to be governed by their feelings, or nerves which reflect feeling never succeed in it. Mrs. Talbot said: "General Armstrong would never listen to anyone who had a 'grievance,' the worst mental disease one can contract—though he was never wrong. The sense of injury must first be conquered and then the wrong can be righted. A grievance is a poisonous infections, explosive thing which leads to a state of insanity which might decision and progress impossible. "Only such leaders will bring the race to its own who are big enough to conquer their own feelings and condition—leaders in whom 'mind rules.' Any policies conceived and enacted by leaders will be good and successful. "Negroes should become a hard race—not hard like a rock, but hard like the sugar-maple tree, which is wounded every year and loses its life-blood, but heals its wounds overtime too busy growing to dwell on them. "Certain kinds of education help a man to gain the rule of mind over feeling, industrial and technical education, artistic and business training, which require both practice and application to construct knowledge, help most. Classical education enlarges the scope of action of the man who has learned how to rule himself with his own mind, but does not help him gain such rule." Mrs. Talbot read Matthew Arduino "Huggy Gospel" poem his father, Thomas Arnold, "greatest of English educators," which she declared was the best picture of father ever written.

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 B. L. JORDAN, Chairman Executive Committee CARTERHEADS COMMERCIAL BANK & T. CO. CARTERHEADS WHITE WOMEN COMMERCIAL WANT INTERBANK & T. CO. RACIAL AMITY Prominent Lawyer and Business Man Named To Succeed T. C. Erwin, Who Resigned On Account Of Ill Health. JORDAN CHAIRMAN EXEC. COMMITTEE (Special to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va.—The Board of Directors of The Commercial Bank and Trust Company of Richmond, Virginia at a regular meeting held on Thursday, February 9, 1922 elected James T. Carter, a loading attorney of the city, and President and General Counsel of the Southern Aid Society, a prominent law firm, a president of the bank to fill the unexpired term of T. C. Erwin, the former president, who resigned on account of ill health. The new president of The Commercial Bank and Trust Company enjoys an enviable reputation as a prominent lawyer, and efficient and progressive business man and as a gentleman of culture, character and vision. His experience with big business enterprises as President of the Southern Aid Society and Grand President of the World, has demonstrated his capacity for big tasks, and the manner in which he has administered the affairs of the high and responsible offices he holds, attests his honor, integrity and ability. And meeting the Office of Chairman of the Executive Committee was created and Mr. B. L. Jordan was unanimously elected to fill the same. The position is a very important one as The Chairman of the Executive Committee will be associated with the president in the direction of the bank's policies and affairs. Mr. Jordan is well known in the business world having been engaged in various lines of business for more than a quarter of a century. His most outstanding achievement, however, was his work with the Southern Aid Society of Virginia of which he is Secretary Manager. Mr. Jordan has been associated with the Southern Aid Society since its organization and it is conceded by all in a position to know the facts, that the present remembrance of the Society is due to his efficient management, his abiding faith in the possibilities of the business, his breadth of vision, his resourcefulness and his fidelity to its every interest. The action of the Board of Directors is a response to the need of the ability, experience and integrity these new officers will bring to it; mark a new era in the career of the institution and guarantee it a place in the ranks of financial institutions among Negroes in America.

WOULD PROTECT COLORED WOMEN Nashville, Tenn.-Declaring that "unless lawlessness and mob violence can be checked, the very foundation of our civilization is threatened," a large company of representative Tennessee women, white, from all sections of the state, in session at McKendree church here plodged themselves to cultivate a Christian attitude with regard to inter-racial question and organized the women's section of the Tennessee Inter-Racial Committee. The meeting which was called by Mrs. Luke G. Johnson of Atlanta, representing the Southern Commission was able to secure security promotion in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the South. Mrs. Johnson presided over the security promotion in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the South. Mrs. Johnson presided over the security promotion in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the South. Mrs. R. W. Motion of Tennessee, Mrs. R. W. Motion of Tuskegee, Aln., Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Southern College, Prof. L. M. Favrot of Louisiana and Dr. Alexander who is the Executive Secretary of the Inter-Racial Commission outlined its genesis and made a strong appeal for the application of Christian principles in inter-racial relations, instead of leaving the whole home, or seeking to solve it by force. Mrs. Moton, the wife of Major R. R. Moton, who succeeded Booker T. Washington as head of Tuskegee Institute, made a brief talk, dignified and informative, in the friendship and co-operation of the white race and pleading for the sympathy and help of the white women in the South in the development of better hygro homes and housing for the declarations of the meeting were these; We appreciate the chivalry of white men, but deplore the fact that a Colored man must suffer violence in the protection of the women of their race. We therefore pledge ourselves to cultivate the Christian attitude of mind in every day contracts, by discouraging the use of these terms in the use of the word in press that arouse resentment and convey a sense of inferiority or contempt; by using our influence against rudeness on the part of all public officials; by the employ of officials; by standing for justice and opportunity and the fullest possible development to which every individual of the race can attain.

The music lovers of Tidewater enjoyed a veritable treat last week in having the St. Paul Singers from St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va. They appeared for three performances in Portsmouth two for colored and one for white audiences and once in Norfolk. On each occasion they sang to the entire satisfaction of all present. Indeed it is said by both white and colored that they are the best they have ever heard. Not only are they masters in the interpretation of the old familiar Ante-bellum folk songs, but the best in grand opera is heaved out with the same elysianism. Wherever they appeared the audiences were simply swept off their feet, were held spell-bound and bewildered and were moved to laughter or tears at the will of the singers. The St. Paul Singers very conclusively demonstrated their ability to sing while in Tidewater and if fortune should perchance bring them again to this section they will have no trouble in obtaining audiences, as the public has been convinced. Under the leadership of Mr. Thaddeus Caldwell the St. Paul Singers are reflecting credit on the institution. THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH. James E. Campbell. Reporter. Sunday school at 9:15 a. m.

The Negro vote stood ten to.one in favor of the issue, because the Negro citizen-is as much live to the importance of improving the port facilities of Norfolk asthe white citizens are. They will not only bear their share of ‘the taxation to pay the principal and interest of the issue, but they ‘ will share very appreciably in the expenditure of the money as “wage-earners, and they will spend what they earn for living in ‘Norfolk stores and deposit what they don’t spend for living in Norfolk banks. ‘. ‘The annexation plans just voted by the City Council, if ear- ried through will give Norfolk 21.9 more square miles, 36,000 more inhabitants and taxable values of $12,500,000. It will make thie'city bigger and richer, and enable us to reap the better the «advantages of improvement of the harbor svhich the bond issue ‘will make possible. 2 ... The Port Commission, headed by Mr. Barton Myers, and the City Council have shown farsightedness in the port improvement ‘and annexation plans respectively. Boost Norfolk late and early must be the sign by which we conquer to get the most and best out of the bond issue and an- nexation. The interests of our group are so wrapped up in Nor- folk and its well being as to be-inseparable from the interests of other groups, and we shall continue to keep our heads and should- _ ers busy helping the wheels of the city’s business industries to go ound and round with the regularity and’smoothness that makes for growth, general prosperity and happiness, PICKENS STARTS SOMETHING 7 William. Pickens, the able, energetic, and irrepressible asso- ciate field secretary of the National Association for the Advance- mrent of Colored People, started something worth while the other day, when he testified at an investigation in New York City on the rewriting of history books, He made a plea, according to the ‘New York World, that the part played by Negroes be included in American History.; As a sample of Mr. Pickens testimony we quote: an i “ ‘I went through public school,’ he said, “and graduated from ‘Yale and was a grown man before I ever learned that it was a black man who shot Major Pitcairne at Bunker Hill, or that ona man out + of every ten at the Battle of Lake Erle was black, or that in tho War of 1812 there were miany black men behind the American + Parapet of cotton bales, or that George Washington had hundreds of colored soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln said that withont the 200,000 black troops on the Northern side they never would have ‘wont, © ‘4 “For the sake of good feeling between black and white that is essential, 1 want our histories to show the part that colored soldiers * played in the grent War. " We are not surprised that Mr. Pickens went through Yalc before he learned anything about the Negro's part in the making of history. The text books as written and taught in our system of public schools do not reveal anything to inspire Negro youth The young Negro student, and the white as well, for that matter learn much from these books about the origin and history of th black race that is misleading. The movement which has starte in New York is at least an indication that there is a Soving dis satisfaction with the way history books for use in public school are written. WHAT TRAVELERS AID SOCIETY DOES More genera] interest would be manifested in the activities of the Travelers Aid Society if more were known about the very splendid work this organization does in this and other states. Every day some good deed is'done by the Society, but the facts rarely ever get into the newspapers. In an appeal sent out re- cetitly in behalf of the Society, President Wm. S.

Price 15 cents. | I om turning from books to a mag- azine article that seems to mo of especis! significance. Mx, Norman Angell is a well known English writer, ‘who has broad views on international questions. He attended some of ‘the sessions of the Pan African Con-, gress both in London and in Paris. j This article is of importance be- cause it shows us clearly what those who attended the Pan African con- gress observed, that the French Negro jis first a Frenchman and second a Negro. 1 quote Mr. Angell: “The English speaking group (at the con-| gress) habitualiy spoke of themselves| jas “we Negroes” while those from French territory spoke of themselves jas “we Frenchmen”.” This, as Mr. |Angell gods on to explain comes from | tbo fact that France draws no color line. The Negro members of the |Chamber of Deputies, for instance, or| lof the legal profession have not only, Ino official difficulties, they have no! social difficulties in their relationship | lwth, their white collcagues. . “They: jdine in the,homes of members of the cabinet, plead for white clients in the ‘|courts, and it would never even occur -|to their French colleagues to treat {them with any sort of social exclu~ sion.” France has managed to make "|these men and countless other Afri- ‘jeans feel that they are all Fronch in *japirit-and feeling as well as in law. i|/Mr. Angell finds something fine about _|this ‘'fcom the merely moral or senti- 7 ental aspect” but he wants us to consider it politically. And what does it mean politically? To Mr. Angell it means this: That hereafter the succoss of France means [Negro success, and that the French $ Negroes, wiser than the ‘visionaries who talk of a consolidarity of the Y |black xace, have France to fight thei . | battles for better treatment the world g|over. Tho French Negro leader |thought, as,Mr, Angell concelves i : from the meetings of the congress bul [still more from private conversation jis something like this: “There “is. « great instrament of power which cat be used for the defence of Negr interest and right within our. reac f£ we play our cards properly. Tha instrument is the political.and mili tary power of France. We possess i African conscription: the wherewitha to bargin for the placing of Frone | powor—and France is the predominan ‘military State in the .worlé—on th lsido of Negro right.

An. gell meana by the Negro Conquest? He has a footnote, one that he intends to be sinister. In it he suggests c raciat conquest of France, a mingling of black.and white blood. Is this hi conquest? You must read it ani make your own judgment.

NOTES The Young Men's Bible Class held a most interesting meeting Sunday evening at 7 p.m. The course this winter is a book by Jeremiah W. Jenks, "The Social Significance of the Teachings of Jesus."

The special financial effort on last Sunday did not come up to the expectation of the pastor and officials. However the rally was continued to next Sunday and it is earnestly hoped that those who failed to come up on last Sunday will do their best this Sabbath as it is highly necessary that we raise a stipulated amount at a very early date. Strangers, visitors and friends are always welcome to all of our services. FIRST UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. On last Sabbath, all members and visitors at the Y, P. C. U. service of this church had the opportunity to hear a few of Norfolk's talented little folks. After the Bible study was over, a program was rendered entirely by the younger set.

The last was a violin solo of that tune called "Calvary" by Master Lovette Johnson. This little boy surprised all with his ability to handle with skill a violin and bow that seemed as tall as he if stood upright. This Sabbath a special program will be rendered to welcome home our pastor, Rev. D. F. White, who has been away for a month. Come out this Sabbath and enjoy the hour between 6 and 7 p.m. ST.
