The February Bulletin of the National Urban League, just issued, features the Annual Report of the organization which has been prepared by Eugene Kinkle Jones, Executive Secretary. In part the report reads as follows: "The National Urban League has just completed eleven years of public service and has developed the most comprehensive program applied to the problem of the Negro in the city. A report is given of the organization's successful conference held in October in Chicago with delegates representing advanced thought in social service who came from twenty-five cities in which the League has branches. Reference is made in the report to those in interest of the Negro in such magazines as "The Survey," "The Southern Workman," "The American Missionary," "The New Republic," "The World Tomorrow" and "The Nation," and in such daily papers as the New York Globe, The New York World, The Chicago Daily News, The Kansas City Times, The St. Louis Democrat, The Hartford Courant and The Atlanta Constitution. The League's local organizations have conducted health campaigns and have secured the appointment of public nurses in city health departments. The League has reduced in infant mortality of 38 per cent in a period of two years. Attention is called to the work of the Department of Research and Investigation, headed by Charles S. Johnson. The League has also have been made in Hartford, Connecticut and Flushing, L. I., and authentic information concerning Negro life has been gathered and turned over to writers and lecturers on public questions to the eminent accomplishments of the mighty men properly presented to the public. In the industrial field where the League has specialized interesting accomplishments are presented. The League in co-operation with other agencies was instrumental in securing the appointment of a social service worker in President Harding's Unemployment Conference. It has highlighted the real employment committees appointed by the Mayors of Louisville, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Detroit and in Chicago was the most active force in the city in stimulating interest in the unemployed. Additional organizations have been formed in Albany, Ga., Los Angeles and Canton, Ohio; and the Community House for colored people in Richmond, a., has become one of the most active close of the year activities were in progress in eight other communities where it is expected that Leagues will be established during the present year. There are now thirty-six cities in which Urban Leagues are established—twenty-five of which maintain offices with executive secretaries in charge. One of the cities in which the League has been working is Tulsa, where the race riot the League sent a representative to work towards better relations between the white and colored people of the community. During 1921, the sum of $237,000 was expended by the National Urban League and its locals as compared with $187,000 in 1920. The sum of $25,703 was used exclusively for the work of the national organization. The National Urban League for 1922 is $69,770 which does not include provision for a Nation Industrial Department which the League hopes to undertake if the year's income is sufficient. In addition to those already mentioned, the League has on its staff such persons as J. R. E. Lee, Extension Secretary located at the headquarters of the League; Hill W.

C.—Hobart Anderson and Claud Bunch, who attacked and severely clubbed Charlie Grimes, Negro trusty at the Lenoir county jail, in an attempt to escape on the 60 days each on the county roads for the assault. The men were held for highway robbery and will be tried after on this charge. Grimes stood between the men and a well-planned escape. Grimes fought the men with his fists or his hands. Both Bunch and Anderson were a brick and Anderson club. It required the services of two physicians to patch up the badly injured Grimes. Both Bunch and Anderson were severely pummeled by Grimes.

Measures are being taken by Claud Bunch, who is by the trunks of the trees preserved in a museum. The girl in the above picture was "snap-shotted" on the deck of the steamer which brought her to Norfolk from a little country town, as she stood undecided as just where to go or what to do. She had come to the city just because she wanted to get away from the country, but she had no job, no friends or acquaintances and no definite plans. She was taken in hand by the Travelers Aid Society and sent to a responsible and safe place to stay until employment was found for her. She was then directed to the prison environments and is doing well—thanks to the Travelers Aid Society. The colored citizens of Norfolk are now making an effort to raise funds to employ Mrs. Hattie Proctor, faithful friend of friendless girls, to continue the good work which she has done for so many years.

Russ Wimberly, district attorney of Claiborne Parish, brought action in the district court of that Parish to have himself named curator for the estate, contending that the estate, was a "vacant" one as no legitimate heirs were living. Upon dismissal of his suit in the district court he appealed to the Supreme court which upheld the lower court. Mrs. Taylor was declared by the Supreme court, reiterating a former opinion decreeing the land hers, to be the acknowledged daughter of Lona McGee, wife of former owner of the land. COLORED NEW JERSEY LEGISLATOR SPONSOR FOR EUGENICS LAW Trenton, N.

Assemblyman from Orange, N. J. This measure had been before the Assembly on three other occasions, but each time it had been defeated. When the bill was called up this time it occasioned more discussion than any measure that has been before the House for several years. Dr. Alexander made a strong argument on the merits of the Bill, and following this he was subjected for more than an hour to a "cross fire" of questioning. He met all of the objections logically and adroitly. The vote was 33 to 19 in favor of the measure, and when Speaker Rowland announced the result there was a great out-burst of applause from the large number of spectators who were present. NEGROEDUCATION PAYS DIVIDENDS Land Grant Colleges For Colored People Need More Trained Teachers. Government Officials To Co-operate. (Special to Journal and Guide) Hampton, Va.—The outstanding need of the land grant colleges for colored people is a support which agriculture and the mechanic arts particularly, but especially in agriculture—teachers who can uphold high standards and who can give their pupils what those pupils need. This fact was made clear at the recent Nashville meeting of the heads and other representatives of the colored land-grant colleges, called and presided over by Dr. John J. Tigser, M.D., D. G., U. S. Commissioner of Education. Hon. J. B. Brown, State Superintendent of public instruction for Tennessee, in his address of welcome, expressed the greetings and interest of Gov. Alfred A. Taylor. He stated that 101,000 Negro children in Tennessee, of 160,000 who are of school age, are enrolled in school. He stated that 1699 students in high schools and 1699 in city high schools, according to Superintendent Brown. LEADERS FACE BIG PROBLEM Doctor Tigert emphasized the value of the human element in National progress. He declared that Negroes should be given freely the education which they need and should have. He referred to South Carolina, North Carolina and Louisiana have been making in providing educational facilities for Negroes. Dr. A. C. Tuey, director of the States Relations Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, brought the greetings of Secretary Wallace. Doctor True stated that it is important that the Negro colleges should get a correct idea of their obligatory people who work in education, since their education is one phase of a world-wide educational movement for vocational education. "There are still comparatively few good institutions for vocational training," declared, Doctor True. "As long as industries were simple and labor was both cheap and abundant, there was comparatively little progress or need of skilled workers. With the application of science to industry, how ever, there has come a change. The human element in industry is now tremendously important, and we cannot have prosperous industrial communities without trained workers. NEGRO FARMERS ARE ASSISTS NEGRO FARMERS in the United States, or 15 per cent of the total number of farmers. Over 700,000 of these Negro farmers are tenant farmers or operators. There are about 2,000 Negro farmers who are put down as managers. There are about 218,000 Negro farm owners. In the case of the Negro farm operators, the land and buildings are two and one quarter billion dollars. “If we can change the standards of living on these farms, which are in charge of Negroes, economic prosperity in general will be likely to increase, because it is so largely dependent on agriculture. “There are about 140 Negro farm-demonstration sites and about 90 Negro farm administration agents who are working under the U. S. Department of Agriculture. There are also two Negro special agents. “The U. S. Department of Agriculture would like to develop this work further. Yet, even if the Congress should give us a larger fund for this purpose, our greatest difficulty would be training and experience. Therefore, the land-grant colleges should try to turn them out. They need more money for this purpose.” Charles H. Lane, chief of the agricultural education service of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, outlined the progress which has been made under the Smith-Hughes Act, passed in 1917, in teaching boys and girls in vocational schools, and farm-housekeepers through funds which are entirely in the hands of State boards of vocational education. Some State boards, he said, have experienced difficulty in finding teachers upon whom they could well spend money. He made the point that teachers and expressed his belief that State officials are especially interested in the work of teacher training. PETERSBURG BANKER HERE Mr. W. S. Young, cashier of the People's Bank of Petersburg was in the city a few hours Sunday the guest or his brothers, Messrs P. B. and H. C. Young.

POLYGAMY TO ADVANCE BIRTH RATE? Paris, France—Catholics and Protestants in France are joining forces to combat the tacit admission of polygamy by French law. During the war a law was passed making natives born in certain districts of Senegal French citizens, but at the same time them to obtain albeit marriage rights. The result is that polygamy may be legally practiced in the colony by French citizens. The moral objections raised by the church, which fears the consequences of such precedent established by the French code, are unlikely to convince Parliament or the Government. The latter, indeed is anxious that the colonies and thus cause France's reservoir of colored troops to shrink. So it will continue to uphold legal polygamy. Fill in this blank and mail today.

MEMORIAM In aid but loving memory of my dear daughter, I am delighted to commemorate this life March 20th, 1921 one year ago. Dear is the grave where my child is laid. Dear is the memory which shall never fade. My heart has never been the same. Since she was called away. More and more each day we miss her. Friends may think the wound is haled. But they little know the sorrow that lies in our hearts concealed. A tear in mothers eye a father's broken heart Can only tell the agony how hard it is to part We stood by your bed dear laughter. And saw your soul depart. When we realised you were dead it almost broke our hearts. Her broken hearted mother, Annie Spratle- father, Edward Spratle and brother Harry. TRUXTUN (A. T.

Greensboro Doctor Sues Rich Brother-in-Law For $100,000 For Alienating Wife's Affections. Son Discovered Illicit Relations. Greensboro, N. G.—Testimony of Courtenay Norman, that he had seen his mother and R. B. Boren, his uncle, engaged in an immoral act, set a crowded, gaping courtroom agile here today, during the trial of the damage suit of Dr. G. W. Norman against Boren, for $100,000 charging immorality between his wife and Boren and alienation of his wife's affections. Practically the whole Norman family testified. Courtenay Boren was followed by his brother, Harry and he by their sister Bertha. Then Dr. Norman was put under the house in lieu of his wife, the couple could only toll of suspicious incidents but the first young man had the sordid story. When he surprised his mother and Boren, Courtenay Norman said, he went back upstairs and told no one for some time. The alleged act happened in May 1920, he testified. He later told his mother, he said, who told him, according to his testimony to tell all. He did tell his father's attorneys, he said, but not his father. He said he was not the uncle, he declared but did not because of the publicity he knew would attend such a thing. Boren and Norman are both prominent and both wealthy. Consequently, the courtroom is insufficient to hold the crowds, who sit and stand drinking in every word, fearing to move a muscle lest they lose one syllable of the evidence. Ease this afternoon the attorneys wangled the question of admiration of the testimony of Mrs. Norman, the plaintiff's attorneys trying to put her on the stand, the defense objecting that, as the wife of Norman, she is not competent to testify in an action affecting him. Goes on witness Stann Going on the witness stand upon her own volition, Mrs. G. W. Norman confessed in Superior Court here today to illicit relations with her brother-in-law, R. B. Boren, extending over a period of over five years, unable, she said, to resist the urgings of the man, who is being sued by her husband for 100,000. The court wom crowd, having heard her son swear yesterday that his mother was guilty of immorally, came back in larger numbers today. They heard a woman portray the story of her infidelity, interrupted she said, over a period of long years for only a few weeks when one of her sons, her youngest child was killed in an automobile cident. She wanted to meet her boy in heaven, she testified, she told Boren when he insisted about two weeks later on resuming their relations, and drove him from the house, but he soon came back and insisted that she submit to him, which she did she said. Started By Kiss When she was asked about the son's death she broke down and wept sobbing, the curious throng of septentrors eyeing her as stolidly and as avidly then as when she told her story. She spoke in a low, emotionless voice, staring straight ahead. A kiss, given the man at Christmas time 1914, while his own wife was in an adjourning room, started the whole thing, she testified. He wanted it for a "Christmas present," she said, and she bestowed it. From that to the worst was an easy step, according to the testimony, the next visit, she said, on the next day, seeing the marriage vows of both broken. Signals were arranged, by telephone, and tappings on the windows, when it was safe for him to come over, the woman testified. She even swore that he said his wife and her husband were sickly and suggested marriage in case the two—brother and sister—should die. Mrs. Norman said that she told him she could not do that. Beld Husband Whole Story Her husband came upon Boren leaving the house in November, 1920, she testified. She and Boren having been in the pantry. He questioned and told her to tell the truth, but Boren refused. The house came all shortly afterward and asking him to forgive her told all, she said. Her husband and a Baptist minister, Rev. L. L. Carpenter, former pastor of the Forest Avenue church here, were the only ones she told him. She was identified, except that when her son, Courtney, asked her what to do, she said she told him to tell the truth. At one time, she said Boren said when she ordered him off, "You wouldn't tell, would you?" and the woman testified that she told him he would have to "speak for himself." That was one time when she refused to kiss him good-bye, she stated. A hard legal fight preceded placing the woman on the stand. The defense objected, arguing that she was not competent to testify. Judge B.F. Long, presiding, told her that she was not compelled to testify and could refuse to answer any question she choose to, but she went ahead and talked unreservedly. The judge told the plaintiff's attorneys that they were taking the chance of Supreme Court reversal of the verdict by putting her on the stand, but they wanted to get her testimony in.

It was the opinion of THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE that such an organization of former Afro-American service men should have been formed after the American Legion, in its preliminary and permanent organization, failed to give our former service men equality of standing and privilege in the Legion, making separate race units mandatory and these to be authorized and accepted only when approved by the white Legion authorities of a given State. We understand that to be the situation now. We need an effective organization of our former service men; and we see no reason why the beginning made in Washington should not spread to all parts of the country and become National in strength, effectiveness and service. DYER ANTI-LYNCHING BILL AND THE SENATE Newspaper reports through correspondents of daily newspapers at Washington persist in inculcating the idea that a large number of Republican Senators are opposed to the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, which has passed the House of Representatives, and will do what they can to smother it in Committee rather than allow it to get before the Senate and have to put themselves on record by their vote, which they are disposed to cast against the bill and with the solid Democratic minority. There are reasons, of course. A large number of Republican Senators always find it painful to oppose the Democratic Senators in supporting any measure intended for the relief of Afro-American citizens. President Harding has that feeling in malignant form. It has affected the Republican Senators ever since the downfall of the Reconstruction Governments of the South, some forty-five years ago. Again: Quite a few Republican Senators are to stand for re-election this year, and they don't want to go on record upon any measure which may prejudice them one way or the other in the minds of their constituents. If the bill can be smothered in committee and a vote staved off they will not have to explain their vote one way or another. This sort of thing is not called cowardice; it is called political sagacity. Let us hope that the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill will get before the Senate by hook or crook, and that it will be passed by that body. It is a party measure and should not fail of passage. GENERAL ARMSTRONG DISLIKED PERSONS WITH A GRIEVANCE Persons, race groups, nations, that have a grievance, a grouch, are always troublesome to deal with. The Jew the Irish, the Negro, everywhere, for ages, have had grievances, not always of their making, which they could not seem to shake off, but which hampered their development, soured their tempers, and made them disagreeable to others because others had first made themselves disagreeable to them. General Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute, was a very superior man. His sympathies were as broad and as generous as the true Christian's should always be but often are not. In a recent address, in the Queen Street Baptist Church, at Hampton, General Armstrong's daughter, Mrs. Edith Armstrong Talbert said her father would never listen to a person with a grievance, although he was always ready to help redress any wrong. "The injury must first be conquered and then the wrong can be righted." We all know, as a matter of fact, how hard it is to forget and forgive. Mrs. Talbert concluded with the following timely observations: "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 practical application and abstract 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." General Armstrong lived very closely to the student body of Hampton Institute in sympathy and feeling. And his students loved him and have carried his noble spirit of service and tolerance in their works to all parts of our country and the world. There is plenty of good work among us to be done by such an organization as the Virginia Athletic-Social Club, recently organized in Norfolk, with Mr. S. A. Carter as president. The placing of high athletic and social standards among us is of the highest importance. Too many organizations engaged in such work it would be hard to have. The poem, written by Mr. Carter, and published in THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE of February 18, contained an idea good as a rule of conduct for members which would help them to live true to the highest and best ideals in athletics and socials. The idea is contained in the following lines: "Don't be what you aint, 'Jes' be what you is. 'If you is not what you am, 'Then, you am not what you is. 'Don't be what you aint,' 'Jes' be what you is." "Be what you are" would be a good motto for a high school. It would be a good motto for a great many other schools, and for their time trying to be what they are not and making a woeful failure of the job. We are all, more or less, the victims, the dupes, of fashion, of habit, of custom, of trying to be and do as others, and of not striving diligently to be natural and common-sense in what we think and do. "Don't be what you ain't; just be what you is," contains a hogshead full of sound philosophy, which should make life better and brighter for those who practice the reverse of it. A GOOD DAY'S WORK FOR VIRGINIA NORMAL CHORALISTS An Irish author is responsible for the sentiment, "Let me write the songs of a people and who will may write their laws." Poetry and music are twins; where you find the one you will certainly find the other. By inheritance the Afro-American people are essentially poetic and musical. They come by it by racial inheritance, and other race groups do not possess it except as they have been crossed in their leaf and vine by our race group. Neither Abel nor Seth, neither Shem nor Japhet, in their inheritance, had any poetic or musical gift. The choral society of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, of which Dr. J. M. Gandy is the distinguished president, did a good day's work when it sang for and won the praise of the General Assembly of Virginia, recently. The law makers did a very gracious and handsome thing when they voted by resolution their appreciation of "the musical entertainment furnished by the students," and expressed the opinion that encouragement should be given "to the perpetuation of such melodius as were rendered by these young entertainers." "Give the black man a chance," Frederick Douglas used to thunder from the lecture platforms of Europe and America. And, when the chance has been given, the black man has usually made good. BRIEFS AND SPICES Some girls are pretty and some are as pretty as can be. Making a sucker of others doesn't necessarily prove that you are a wise fish. Life may be a vale of tears, but there are some folks who enjoy weeping. Your credit is good, says an advertisement.—We add,—if you have the money to pay your bills promptly A nation-wide "Eat more corn" campaign has been started—Probably on the theory that eating it is safer than drinking it. "Stocks of any kind are at the best a speculative investment," says a contemporary. Quite so, even the private stocks nowadays are watered heavily. A curt reply is the weapon of a dull wit. Speaking of a remarkable "movie feat," Charlie Chaplin's always invoke laughter. Many a man who appears content with life is merely playing his leading role. In knocking objectionable movies reformers seem to lose sight of the fact that—every knock is a boost. George Washington never told a lie, but in those days they had nothing to conceal from their "nosey neighbors." Man wants but little here below The poet said with zeal; Then tell us quick my poetic friend What hurts them when they squeal? WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY THE CHRISTIAN ART There is an art which Christianity created almost wholly, asking little of outside aid, music is that peculiar child. The long continued vision of heaven, the struggle of the tones of voice and of instrument to find something worthy of the deep feelings of religion, resulted at last in those mighty chants that formed the mountain springs of our musical Nile. There could have been no music had not depths of feeling come to man. The men who went up to the pagan temples went with no such love, with no sorrow of repentance, with no exultant joy. It was necessary for Jesus Christ to come and transfer religion from the form to the spirit, and from an "airy nothingness" to a love stronger than life, before hymns like those of Luther and Wesley could break from the heart.—Southern Churchman. DESTRUCTION OF THE ROMA The destruction by fire of the dirigible airship Roma, purchased by the United States Government from Italy would seem to indicate that until we learn how to build this type of aircraft, we had better cease trying to operate the type some other nation has built. From reports twenty million dollars of the people's money have been expended for this branch of service with practically no satisfactory results. But then theorists seem to be "in the saddle" just now and a few political leaders have the courage to combat their false logic, proven false whenover subjected to actual, practical service—Richmond Planet. KEEP GUARD OF THE DOOR O sentinel at the loose-swung door of my impetuous lips, Guard close today! Make sure no word unjust or cruel alips; In anger forth, by folly spurred or armed with envy's whips; Keep clear the way today! And watchman on the cliff-scarred heights that lead from heart to mind, When wolf-thoughts, clothed in guile's soft fleece, creep up, O be not blind; But may they pass whose foreheads bear the glowing seal-word "Kind." Bid them God-speed I pray. And warden of my soul's stained house, where love and hate are born, O make it clean, if swept must be with pain's rough broom of thorn! And quiet impose, so straining ears, with world-din racked and torn, May catch what God doth say. —Pearl A. Townsend. There's always a way out and, if we don't feel like whooping her up for Newberry and the taxes on our next swing around the circle, we suppose we can drag out the reliable old spectre of Southern domination and roar for an hour, and a half about that—Ohio State. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE "DARK WATER"—By W. E. B. DuBois. Published by Harcourt Brace and Howe, New York City, Price $2.00—postage ten cents. It is difficult to say any new word regarding Dark Water. The book has been widely read and has passed through several editions. And yet it would be an incomplete series of Book Chats that failed to note this volume of essays by the man who stands unquestionably as one of the greatest prose writers today in the United States. Dr. DuBois began his literary career, as I remember, back in the nineties with an article in the Atlantic Monthly. "Between me and the other world," he wrote, "there is always an unasked question; unasked by some through feelings of delicacy; by others through the difficulty of rightly framing it. All nevertheless flutter 'round it. They approach me in a half hesitant sort of way, eye me curiously of compassionately, and then, instead of saying directly, How does it feel to be a problem? they say, I know an excellent colored man in my town; or I fought at Mechanicsville: or Do not these Southern outrages make your blood boil? At these I smile, or am interested, or reduce the boiling to a simmer, as the occasion may require. To the real question, How does it feel to be a problem, I answer seldom a word." While those who know Dr. DuBois realize that this has been true of the spoken word, of the written one it is hardly the case. For his two books, "The Souls of Black Folk"-Dark Water" and some of his editorial writings voice intenseness and clarity what it means to be a problem in America. No white person who reads DuBois can ever fail to feel poignancy. More than any. other author he has shown the sufferings of sensitive people under the insult and persecution. "Don't you think DuBois is bitter?" the white reader asks, with the implication that to be bitter is to be in the wrong. But the bitterness of Dark Water is a great part of its power. It stirs the self-complacent citizen out of his comfortable optimism and whether he likes it or not makes him face realities. No man of the race that started the Atlanta massacre can read the Litany at Atlanta, the cry of the blacks to God "How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance?" and again "Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing!" and be unmoved. Such a man complains of the bitterness because he hates the fact that he is moved. I speak of Dr. DuBois's books in connection with white people because it is this reaction with which I am most familiar, but I believe that his writings have greatly influenced the colored race, especially the youth of that race. He has been a champion of the doctrine that the race must not accept unchallenged an insult, a doctrine that has borne fruit at Chicago and Washington and Tulsa, and that will continue increasingly to bear fruit. Dark Water has in it ten essays and ten prose poems. Two of the prose poems we must rejoice to have in permanent form, The Credo and The Libery at Atlanta. Some of the others are a trifle exotic, perhaps the Negro born and reared in New England likes to feel that he has companionship with the rich fragrance and growth of the jungle, but all are admirable interludes to the discussions of the problems that especially relate to colored Americans. Africa, the colored woman, white men, domestic service, work and wealth, childhood, beauty and death, these comprise the subjects. There are great passages that will pass into literature. Sometimes they are so white with hate that they partly misconstrue motives, but they cannot be forgotten. For instance, in speaking of the colored woman, Dr. Du Bois, after telling of the many things which he can forgive, even slavery, declared, "I shall never forgive, neither in this world nor the world to come, the white South's wanton and continued and persistent insulting of the black womanhood which it sought and seeks to prostitute to its last. I cannot forget that it is such southern gentlemen—who insists on withholding from my mother and wife and daughter those signs and appellations of courtesy and respect which elsewhere they withhold only from courtesans." One loves the magnificent arraignment but, is sure that the southernne'r treatment of the colored woman come largely from his old time association with her as one of the servant class. Domestic servants alone, whatever their race, though they may become millionaire's wives, are always Jane or Mary when they meet their former masters and mistresses and not until the colored woman of the South largely leave domestic service will they find a white man raising his hat to them or be called by their last names. One does not need to call in the courtesan who, by the way, is often treated with more respect than the domestic servant. But all The Vengeance of the Gods. We read in the Virginia papers of yesterday that a white man was sent to the penitentiary for life; he had killed another white man, according to the court, in cold blood, without any provocation, maliciously. We read in the Virginia papers two or three days ago that a colored boy was electrocuted in Richmond; he had shot into a crowd of young white men who were attacking him and had killed one of the attackers. They were having a little fun, of course, using "giant fire crackers" on him as he passed along the street. They lit them and hurled them at him, and when one of the great explosives went off under his feet, he fell to the ground. As he rose he came up shooting and one of his assailants was killed. We are not pleading either one of these men's cases. We are simply contrasting thunder and leaving it to you to think whatever you can think. The white man killed in cold blood, perhaps to steal or to rename himself. The colored boy killed in great excitement and under the surprise of an attack which he could not at once understand. There was no premeditation and no malice apparent. He could not mean to kill this particular person whom he hit, when he fired at his assailants. There you have it! When we get an anti-lynching bill on the statute books, then we must be eternally busy trying to hinder the court lynchings, and we must be quick to SAVE HIM FROM LYNCHING.

SELECTED EDITORIALS FROM NORPOLK JOURNAL. AND GUIDE." ted in Richmond, the father of the young white man whom he killed and several of their friends journeyed from Fincastle to the place of execution to "see it well done," true to southern civilization. We like to see 'em die down here. What a fine audience we would have made for Nero or Faustine; we would always have turned our "thumbs down" when the victim was down. But what happened in Richmond? The hotel Lexington, where this sight seeing party put up, was burned down, and twelve of them, including the white father, were burned to the bone, the appliance for life. This all happened before the Negro boy was electrocuted. We wonder if he heard about it. "Well," say the colored people, "the Lord did it." You know, many colored people think that God does everything, especially if it be terrible and awful. What fine temple communicants they would have made in the days of the Major Prophets—white people lynch 70 Greves, and then a black man and a theatre tukef of 170 white people, and the colored folk feel almost satisfied. They feel it to be a sort of compensatory justice. Well, is it? And what if it isn't, if you think it is? It is our own personal belief that some of the white people will meet with calamities, even if we break up their lynchings. There is a greater Power in these instances in the universe than Man, even if it isn't murderous and incendiary.

Solicitor Jesse Davis has UNSELFISHNESS By FLORENCE MELLISH © 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. They went upstairs sleepy and happy. Elsie's sister, Idn, and George, Ida's husband, had been with them. Their classmate, Agnes, had brought her violin, and Elsie and Edna had tried some of their old piano duets. Elsie slipped into the guest room and perched on the bed. She was as pink and plump as a child, and very sweet in her new matronly dignity. "Oh, Edna! It's lovely to have you here." "It's lovely to be here, Elsie. Your home is exquisite, and you and Ernest seem perfectly happy." "Have a great time." "And with Ida settled so near you! They seem happy, too." Elsie took off her slipper and considered a crack in the toe. "I guess they're happy, but if I were Ida, I should be perfectly miserable." "Why, Elsie?" "Edna, did you see George looking at Agnes when she was playing? He looked as if she was something wonderful." "But her playing is wonderful, Elis, and Agnes is too, rather." "I know, she isn't exactly beautiful, but she has what people call charm. And, Edna, I think that Agnes likes being wonderful and that she likes George to know it." "But, Else, I don't think Ida is sensitive, and isn't George loyal to her?" "Oh, yes!" Else returned, with an impatient upward tilt of her chin. "George is loyal; but think what a career Ida has sacrificed for him, and how she just breathes for him. And then to see him looking at Agnes with that adoring gaze, and to know it is only loyalty and duty that held him to Idal Edna, if I should ever see Ernest looking at anybody with such an expression as George had tonight, it would break my heart. You saw him look at her!" Herperls I did once, Edna admitted. "You went to the opera, Edna, when you were staying with the Vintons. Tell us about it." Edna leaned back luxuriously, and talked as only Edna could talk. Edna could not see Ernest from where she sat, but raising her eyes to the mirror above the mantel, she saw his reflection. Elsie came into Edna's ream again. She was pale and a little sad, but very sweet and gentle. She was wonderful tonight, dear" she said, wistfully, as she kissed Edna. "You don't try to be, but you are." For a long time Edna sat staring at a little opal brooch she had unfasted from her collar. "Ernest didn't mean anything." She turned the brooch and absently watched the play of colors in the lamplight. "Who would guess how lovely an opal can be when the light strikes it?" Then a new thought flashed in her eyes. "Where is that hideous purple gown?" She stood up before the mirror and hold up the desiried gown. "It's fearfully unbecoming. I don't like to make a fright of myself, but for Elsie's suke—1" In the morning Edna experimented with her hair. Elsie met her in the hall. "Why, Edna! You don't look like yourself with your hair all over your cars and down to your eyes. It doesn't suit you, dear." But it's the latest style. The Mertimer girls have adopted it? "Oh, those Mortimer girls!" Elsie echoed with scorn. "But what is this gown? I haven't seen it before." "You'll see it again," insisted Eden. "I'm going to give it an alrung." At breakfast, Eden talked persistently of Mrs. Faxon, a rather overdressed member of the Amethyst club, dwelling on every detail of her costume. Ernest retired behind his newspaper. "Your friend seems shallow and commonplace on clear acquaintance," he confided to Elate afterward. "He isn't shallow or commonplace." Elate insisted, loyalty. "It's just that you don't see the best side of her." "Perhaps," he answered, indifferently. The day came for Ella to depart. "It's lonesome to see you packing," mourned Elsie. "I wish you hadn't promised the Pearls. But you'll be the nifftest thing on the train in hat and suit. And, Eda, do put up your hair the old way. I've just heard that my cousin, 'Gordon Fletcher,' is staying at the very next house to the Pearls. He is a lion, and I want you to look your best. And, Eda, that purple thing you've been wearing so much—it's handsome. But it doesn't suit you. Do put it aside. Russian blouse with the broad stripes. You're so beautiful your best. Oh, Eda! Must you really go today?" "I must, Elsie, dear. The Pearls are meeting me." "Well, it's been like a bit of heaven having you come in. I love to entertain, but your visit has been the dearest of all. You are so unselfish, Eda." "I've had a wonderful time, Elsie. It has been a constant delight to see you and Ernest so happy together." "We are happy" Elsie answered with a little sigh of content. "And I don't think it matters. It's just as you said, Edge. Ernest is always so sensible." The Easter Job "What are you going to be when you grow up, Jennie?" "I'm going to be an old maid."

Lloyd Williams, Gilbert Felton, Rosaline Robinson, Maryland Hall, deserve special mention for the excellent way in which they handled the debate, "Resolved, That Bricks are more Useful than Asphalt. Williams and Rosaline had rebuttal speeches. The public will hear from these young people in a few years to come. The Faculty of J. C. Price held its regular meeting Friday, Feb. 24th. The meeting was profitable and a program was arranged for the next meeting. Whichever society has the piano on Friday, that society has a plenty of visitors as the pupils enjoy the musical numbers. There is quite a bit of talent in both societies. Carrying out the spirit of the birthday month, the Ideal Literary Society on Friday, February 24, studied the life and works of Henry W. Longfellow. A biography of this well known poet was read by Delphinia Gregory. "Paul Revere's Ride," was recited by Fannie Drow; "The Leap of Roushan Bey," by Adeline Copeland; "Excelsior," by Mary Smith; "The Old Clock on the Stairs," by Margaret Moseley. The musical numbers were also good. Elsie Frazier of the 6-A Grade deserves special mention for her piano solo. BELL'S MILL, VA.

LINCOLN PLAYS ROANOKE TEAM Lincoln University Basketball team simply ran away with the strong Leal A. C. at the city-auditorium on the 24th before a good crowd, by the score of 51 to 9. The Lincoln quintet team work was very good. They passed well, shot accurately and guarded closely. They were both tall and fast. Wheatford, Thompson, and Wood were there a thousand ways in every play for Lincoln. Leal was fortunate to hold the fast boys to that count. Lawson, Burrell and Horman Steptoe, were the stars for Leal A. C. Lincoln, 51 Line up Leal A. C. Woods L. F. Lawson Hamer R. F. Burrell Wheatford, (cpt.) C. Holden Tomplin R. G. Steptoe McLean L. G.

Track Starts At Union Richmond, Va.—Track practice at Union University started in earnest last week. Already the candidates have shown a marked improvement. The presence of such stellar performers as Liggon, Walker, Boykin, Morris, Cook, Powell, Derritt, Alkens and Haskins who participated in the meet held here in 1920 in which the Big "U" team was victorious, adds much to the prospects of a championship team. Manager Corrothers, DeLoatch, Wilson, Jackson, Abrams, a former Brooklyn High flash, are showing great form in the dashes. Coach Harold D. Martin expects to enter a speedy string of athletes in the Howard meet on May 13th, as well as in the Hampton bowl. Plans are on foot to stage several meets in Newport News, Norfolk and Richmond in which the "Red and Steel" is looking forward to playing a great part. LINCOLN'S SON DEFENDS FATHER (The Associated Negro Press) Washington Post, N. C. Press Washington Post, N. C. Press Lincoln, 3014 N. Street, N. W., son of Abraham Lincoln, has written a letter to be published and distributed broadcast by the Knights of Columbus, denying that President Lincoln ever uttered statements derogatory to the Catholic Church or Catholicism. Mr. Lincoln's letter, written in response to one from John B. Kennedy, editor of Columbia, the K. of C. international magazine, states that "Abraham Lincoln's name has been a peg on which to hang many things." DEMPSEY-WILLS MATCH PROBABLE (The Associated Negro Press) Boston, Mass.—Jack Kearns, manager of Mass., Jack Dempsey, and Paddy Mullins, manager of Harry Wills, colored fistic star, hold a most important conference in this city today. It was announced following their long talk that both were agreed on all preliminary details of a bout for the heavyweight title. Kearns told Mullins he is ready to sign articles at any time, but the guarantee and the place are intervening matters. With both managers willing to post fercits and put their signatures to contracts, a man with sufficient nerve and enough cash to foster the affair is all that is needed. This man may have some job on his hands in removing obstacles in political circles in the locality chosen for the match but sentiment is being molded in favor of getting a challenger worthy of Dempsey's steel and Wills is the only one in sight. Lincoln Defeats Hampton, 41 To 35 (Charles H. Williams) Hampton, Va.—Lincoln won the basket ball championship of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association of the Middle Atlantic States by defeating Hampton 41 to 35 in a hard fought, well played game. The first half ended 25 to 17 in favor of the visitors. The second half began with Lincoln getting the jump, but toward the end of the game the "Seasiders" played with old time form and only time saved the Pennsylvania quintet. The playing of Wheatland for Lincoln was easily the feature of the game. He made 31 points for his team. Lincoln's victory was the second over Hampton this season. Substitutes for Hampton: Clyde Jones, Eleazer, Butler, Green, and Smith; for Lincoln, Law; Refree, H. W. Baldwin; Timekeeper, G. E. Smith; Scoreer, V. S. Brown. Score: Lincoln, 41; Hampton, 35. PALL BEARERS ORGANIZE (The Associated Negro Press) St. Petersburg, Fla.—The undertakers here are entertaining. They have been furnishing pall bearers with funarals "free of charge." Today a strike was threatened. A committee composed of the professional pall bearers called on the Chief of Police and asked if they could legally organize a pall bearers union, asserted they wanted pay for their services and they proposed to strike if they did not get it. The chief told them they might organize. A. B. Sir: Please allow space in your widely circulated pamphlet, to say a few words about one who did much for the care of others during her life time. Mrs. Kate Pitman. She came to this city when quite young from her home in Kenbridge, Va., Lunenburg, Co., and made her home with Mrs. Peter Gatewood Queen Street near Granby street. She like many of our young people, west North, must have withered when her came back and was married to John Sparrow. Her maiden name was Miss Kate Bridgeforth of Kenbridge, Va., but her name is now changed to Mrs. Kate Sparrow. She went in business during this period. Death came in the home and took her husband after a while she closed business and went North again. Then she took up going with the Doctors and nursing the sick, but this did not answer her call; the care for the suffering appealed WANTS Now is the time to buy that Home or other property for investment.

Gray, of Hampton, Va., died in Waverly, Va., Feb. 21st, 1922. As a Christian gentleman he possessed all the graces that go to make up a true gentleman. As a minister of the kowpel, he was a living exponent of what he preached to others, bored with the same things, ways held the doctrines of the Baptist church sacred and was ready to defend them with an irrefutable argument. He was kept busy with pastoral duties yet he found opportunity to foster fellowship and good-will between the races, wherever he worked. At his death he was a man of great integrity that Rev. Gray had cemented the white and black races with a bond of fellowship and common interest hitherto unknown, and that his coming to that city was a God sent blessing. During his work in Hampton Rev. Gray was able to wield an influence unanticipated of any other colored preacher with the opposing side to them and get what his race most needed. The worth of this great man was attested by the throng of humanity from every walk of life at his funeral services. Though the services were necessarily long that throng of grief stricken humanity, with hearts sore, he was able to speak with the words of praise just spoken of a man worthy of them all.
