Norfolk Journal and Guide THRIFT, INDUSTRY AND SERVICE KEYNOTE OF BIG MEETING MOTON OUTLINES NEW POLICY OF BUSINESS LEAGUE Calls For Adjustments In Organization That Will Better Systematize Its Work And Invite Cooperation Of Business Men. LEAGUE WILL RAISE LARGE CONTINGENT FUND High Lights In Dr. Moton's Speech This year finds our organization face to face with the largest opportunity for service that has been presented to it since its foundation. The form of the war is presenting to Negroes everywhere increasing opportunity for their individual advancement and for effective cooperation with each other in these things which make for an enhancement of the race and society. The percentage of failures among Negro business men has been considerably less than for the country at large. The expansion of successful business enterprises is thing previously recorded in the history of Negro business. I wish to recommend that we undertake the revival of "Trade Boosting Campaign." I still believe that if a Negro with reasonable price or any other merchant that neither white nor his own color will draw the line on him because of his color. I ignorance is at present a greater handcap to successful business and there is a limit to expansion beyond which we cannot go until we have trained assistants. Negroes in this section have not been slow toward development of business and there is probably no amount of colored people to be found anywhere in this country." Every available seat in the City Armory was occupied when Dr. Moton, president of the National Negro Business. League delivered his annual address to the League in its Twenty-Third Session Wednesday night, August 16th. Arising and thanking the local businessmen and others with assistance for the comfort of the visitors while in the city and expressing appreciation of the large attendance of League members and others and personal embarrassment over so many good things said about him by preacher and speaker Dr. Moton began address. He briefly reviewed the work of the National Negro Business League and set forth its aspirations. The large crowd listened attentively, while Dr. Moton delivered an address long remembered by all who heard it. Time after time he digested from his prepared address, faced the section occupied by white people and forcefully emphasized important points for better race relations. In one of our discussions, Dr. Moton declared that he would take the lead and tend to the administering of them and they should at least have the courage to see that their laws are impartially administered. The speaker received repeated applause from the audience as he proceeded with his speech and appeared to lose interest in what he was saying throughout the address. The full text of President Moton's annual address follows: The meeting of the National Negro Business League this year finds our organization face to face with the challenge that has been presented to it since its foundation. The aftermath of the war is presenting to Negroes everywhere increasing opportunity for the development of effective cooperation, with each other in those things which make for the advancement of the race as a whole. In no direction is this more true than in the matter of business enterprise, in the matter of business and money-making, but, do you know, my friends, that there are few things that constitute so exacting a test of, any man's real capacity, both for individual initiative and for cooperative effort, that the capacity for making and using money, Business, then, is a real guage of progress of a race, a test of its ability to survive where competition is relentless and searching for progress, that since our last meeting shows some reverses along with a record of very substantial achievement. But it is reassuring to note that even these reverses, when compared with the total number of failures throughout the year, that since our discredit upon the business capacity of the race; as a matter of fact, the percentage of failures among Negro business men during last year has been considerably less than the percentage for the country as a whole, that the pension of successful enterprises has exceeded anything previously recorded in the history of Negro business. DR. R. R. MOTON As we enter upon a new year in the work of the National Negro Business League, I wish to emphasize the importance of Systematic Organization and the Definitive Program, matters which are absolutely essential to our continued existence and our efficiency in promoting business enterprises in the race. I am at this time signatories to the officers and members of the Executive Committee of the Negro Business League in our organization that will tend to systematize better the work of the League and make possible a more effective cooperation in the various phases of its work. As a first step in this direction, the effort should be made to form a group of every group and class of business enterprises among our race into distinctive groups with their own officers which shall at the same time be affiliated with the National Negro Business League in the way that is found in the Negro Three.

The death of Mrs. Ann Biggs, age 95 years, known throughout the city as "Mammy Nan" at the home of her niece, Mrs. J. F. Freeman; on Bute street last week draws attention to the rapid passing of those ante-belum characters around whom we use to gather to hear told tales of those stirring days of the Republic, '61 and '65. MRS. ANN BIGGS Ann, Bibgis was born a slave to Colonel Kader Biggs at the corner of Bute and Freemason streets. She lived in the Biggs family in this city for almost eighty years, except for a few months when she went to the North Carolina mountains, with the Yankees to use to tell it. The Yankees were bent down upon Norfolk at that time she often related, and prominent families were taking refuge in the mountains to save their slaves, Colonel Bibgis and family took her to the Carolina where they were refugees in the mountains for several months, and information them that the Yankees were threatening to march through that state and the family sent to Bertie County, NC, for her niece who was an infant, to save her from capture: Her niece Mrs, J. F. Freeman, lived with them in camp until freedom; when she was sent back home, and the Biggs family broke camp and returned to Norfolk. When Mrs. Freeman grew old enough to work "Mammy Nan" again sent for her and secured for her employment as a maid in the Biggs household where the niece lived until her marriage. Mammy Nan" like most of the people in town, knew her correct age, but always reckoned it from the date of Nat Turner's Insurrection as she say they told her that she was born on that day. Before the infirmities of age began to weigh so heavily upon Mammy Nan she went to a prominent white families were greatly in demand. At times she had calls to Portsmouth, Berkley and as far as Richmond. She had seen service in such prominent families as Nataniel Beamman, W. T. Brooke, Richard Wimburn, Robert A. Although (Cottinand or Rose) NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922 DRIVES KNIFE IN LOVER'SHEART AND COOLY GOES HOME "Mamma, I am going down for the man I love," were the departing words of Estelle Jones, 19 years old, when officer Pitt led her from her mother's home at 1245 Griffin street, last Thursday morning at 9 am. Estelle was going down to the police station on a charge of murder, for only a few minutes before she had driven a knife blade into the eye of James (Budd) Butts, her lover, famous tenor and member of Norfolk Jazz Quartette. Buddy at the time of his death, other members of his company, was under con- "BUDDY" BUTTS to the police station on a charge of murder, for only a few minutes before she had driven a man blinded to the heart of James (Buddy) Butts, her lover, famous tenor and member of Norfolk Jazz Quartette. Buddy at the time of his death, with the other members of his company, was under contract with the Oldest Record Company, of New York and Chicago to sing for the production of their famous jazz records. The young tenor, as he was only 25 years old, arrived in the city Wednesday night from Chicago, where he had been fulfilling his contract and Thursday morning at 2:45 on Lincoln street near Queen, mod this final end at the hands of his long time sweetheart. FOUND IN: THE STREET Butts was found lying in the street a few minutes after he received the fatal stab. Officers rushed him to St. incunata 'hospital' where he died in five minutes. He was not been definitely learned just what were the circumstances leading up to the tragedy. It has been stated that the couple were returning from a house in Lincoln street and a quarrel enued over another woman and a child. He was killed in a life which she succeeded in getting from him* and bluned into his chest. It is said by other persons that Butta's had no knife. That Estelle coolly planned the murder days before Butts' arrival in town and nifed other persons of her intentions and she goaded on by jealousy, drove the knife into his heart before he was aware that she had the weapon. Some of Buddy's companions have even stated that they saw the knife in Estell's possession on her throat but did not tragically harm her threat but did not think seriously enough of the girl's actions to take steps to prevent it. The same party states that she even visited his home after the stabbing. OFFICER PITT MAKES ARREST Officer Pitt was detailed to make arrest and on arriving at the home of girls' mother about 3 a.m., inquired about her whereabouts. Her mother was almost crazed with fear when the officer inquired for her daughter as she states that she haught Cisselle was a Duxtum with haught Hugh was a Catenabale with the afternoon cattenably to go there. The officer, although his duty often drags him into the swirl of human pathos, was humanely sympathetic for the mother and reluctantly and adroitly led her into the knowledge of the frightful news. He at first took hold of the scraper and his scrap between Estelle and her sweetheart and on account of disorderliness he would have to arrest her. But the motherly intuition of Mrs. Jones told her that it was something more serious than that. She insisted on the officer telling her the whole story. He then told her that the girl had insisted for more and then officer Pit infiltrated Mrs. Jones that he had come to arrest Estelle on a charge of murder. While the mother and officer were conversing Estelle entered. She look- at the policeman straight in the face, for mother asked, "What did you do if it fell?" The girl simply answered, "The fact is, the officer informed her, that the affirmative. Estelle said, "Allright I'll go with you," and turning to her mother remarked, "Mamma I am going down for the man I loved." LOVED HIM FOR FIVE YEARS Mrs. Jones states that James (Buddy) Butts had been keeping company with her daughter for nearly five years and that she, her mother had persistently tried to break off the relations between Estelle and the tenor, for she had long ago concluded that she would be distracted in anything honorable. The mother says that she would entertain other young men in her home with the hope of distracting the daughter's attention from the singer. Estelle would seem interested in other young men at times, her mother said, but as soon as Buddy got back into the city she would go to him. Notwithstanding her always pleasant demeanor, Buddy present indifference, for five years she kept for him that indefinable quality known as a woman's love. The very nature of the tenor's work gave him unlimited opportunity.

Mr. Moore is one of the most prominent figures in the organization. for association with other woman and this seemed to gald his sweetheart. Buddy was a popular-fellow in sporting circles. His quartet accompanied Mamie Smith during her perseverance in her successful debate much to her successful debate in Norfolk. He left the city with the "Flat Below" company at the close of their engagement at the Attucks several weeks ago. Buddy was taken with the company on trial with the promise of permanent engagement upon her return. Minnie Butts-Brooks, of 712 St. Paul street. Mrs. Brooks was in New York City when her son was killed, and came home upon the receipt of a telegram informing her of the fatality. Buddy's funeral was held from Garret's C. M. E.

ORDER OF MOOSE SET UP BY LOCAL CITIZENS New Lodge Elects First Staff Of Officers And Takes Over Business. Members of the newly organized Hancock Roads Lodge No. 9, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Moose, met with Robert V. Ridley, director and general organizer, Wednesday night, August 9th, for the installation of their first staff of officers, and to take over their Lodge and works from the Supreme Lodge. Realizing that the success of the organization will mean much to the Benevolent Order, they have heavy responsibilities upon their shoulders, the members cast aside the usual jovial spirit on the night of the election of officers, and for the time being one might have imagined that those present were voting upon the Four Powers Treaty—or that the destiny of Nations was at stake. How aware they are of the many nuances of policy that those at the helm of the new organization must decide, during the coming months, there was a good reason for the extreme care-taken by the members in the selection of the organization's leaders. The officers elected and installed are men who have been foremost in the ranks of those who received the highest honors and who will be foremost in spreading the truth about the Moose throut- The following officers were elected: Hon. W. H. Land, Dictator; Hon. J. M. Harrison, Vice-Dictator; George Booth Jr., Master Dictator at Works; Thomas P. Turner, Jr., Secretary; James E. Scott, Asst. Secretary; W. T. Mason, Transurer; Thomas H. Wilson Sergent-at-Arms; James Capeland, Inner Gunman; William I. Crum, Master-of-Social Service; James E. Smith, Prelate; Leroy Tate, Organist; Herman Perry, Bugler; Dr. J. D Jackson, Medical Director. Trustees-Charles F. F. C. V. Gillings, F. Gillings, Dunn, J. J. Middleton, W. G. Young, W. H. Brooks. After the installation of officer the entire herd of Moose moved over to the Chesterfield Hotel, where a banquet was being held. CROWDS HEAR REV. MADISON AGAIN ATTACK DANCING Preacher Delivers Third Of A Series Of Sermons Which Have Drawn Thousands To Second Calvary Each Sunday. REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS IN STRONG TERMS "From the Ball Room to Hell" was the subject which characterized the third of the series of sermons being delivered, one each Sunday night by Rov. C. P. Madison. In spite of the down pour of rain, all day Sunday and the threatening clouds at night the usual throng church to hear the Calvary Baptist preach from this subject. If the six thousand or more people who have heard these sermons are indicative of the great reform they will bring about, then one individual good boy to Jane, negative and all manner of syncopation which furnishes the dreamy strums for indulgence in the torpischorean art. One may expect to see dance halls of the city converted into apartment houses and the flute, picole and to produce the notes of "League Kindle Light," if Rev. Madison's efforts are successful. The minister spoke with his usual fervor and the "amens" of approval were shouted by his audience. Dr. Madison did not spare Rev. Tute, in the Journal ad Guide took issue with the pastor in one of his sermons. He expressed his opinion of his critic no uncertain terms, declaring him or any preacher who shared his critic's views on dancing not fit to preach the gospel. Spoke From Daniel. Rev. Madison drew his illustration from the story of Belshazzar and the "Handwriting on the Wall" as chronicled in the book of Daniel. The preacher has been strong in his previous attacks on dancing but he was especially vehement last Sunday night. Several young men marched up to the rostrum and expressed their approval of the minister's stand on dancing and signed pledges to that effect. On next Sunday night Dr. Madison will preach another sermon on the one subject. The question of Second Calvary presented Rev. Madison with a new seven passenger car last week.

CHURCHES TAKING UP INTER-RACIAL WORK CHURCHES TAKING UP INTER-RACIAL WORK Study Courses Prepared For Thousands Of Groups. All Protestant Groups Take Part. Nashville, Tenn.—What many consider the most hopeful development in the realm of race relations in America is the fact that all the great Protestant denominations, with a monotheistic orientation, are uniting in the study of the problem with the view of finding a Christian solution. CHURCHES APPOINT COMMISSIONS The Federal Council of Churches has appointed a Commission on the Church and Inter-Racial Relations; which is actively at work seeking to promote the cooperation of all church groups in the effort to improve better conditions. In addition, the question will be studied this year in many thousands of missionary groups and study classes, with an aggregate membership running probably into millions. To this end the Missionary Education Movement, the Council of Women for Home, Missiones, and the Central Committee for Mission Study, will be involved. BUSINESS LEADERS OF RACE MET IN CONVENTION HERE Meeting Had Largest And Most Representative Attendance Of Any Held In Recent Years. Was Success From All Angles. GROUP CONFERENCES AN IMPORTANT FEATURE Delegates who have attended the sessions of the National Negro Business League declared to the sessions of the convention which closed last night were featured by more practical, constructive accomplishments than any previous annual meeting of the body. Adoption of the program of constructive activities presented by President Moton gives the League a status it has not previously had. It now enters a field of service entirely new in business development among Negroes. Before a capacity audience at the City Armory, Wednesday night, Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, delivered his annual address to the organization assembled in public session. It is estimated that about 4,000 persons gathered into the Armory to hear the speaker outline the future policies of the League and to discuss in general the hopes and prospects of the race. The address of welcome on behalf of the Commonwealth, was delivered by Lieutenant Governor J. E. West, who represented Governor E. Lee Trinkle, the Governor being prevented from addressing the meeting according to program on account of serious illness of his mother-in-law. The meeting was presided over by Hon. J. C. Napier, of Tennessee, ex-register of the Treasury, who after a selection by the Southland Singers and occasioned by Rev. M. E. Burrell, of the Southland District, A. M. E. Church, presented City Manager Chas. E. Ashburner, who delivered the opening address. Mr. Ashburner after addressing words of welcome to the visitors, urged independence of thought among the race. He staked in effect that, it is not only the independence but independence of thought must be a characteristic of a people if they are to push forward. Mr. Ashburner also urged Christian fellowship in business, declaring that, "Men who have climbed high the ladder of success were men of strong Christian character and that in the quiet hours of the night you can say to yourself, I am not ashamed of my work of the past day." LIEUT. GOVERNOR WEST SPEAKS Lieutenant Governor West was introduced by Dr. John M. Gandy, president of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. Dr. Gandy said by way of introduction that there are five office seekers for the office seeks office for personal aggrandizement and the other class seeks office for what good they feel they may be able to render the community or because of some reform measures they'd like to institute. "To the first class belong political demographics and, in the second class belong statesmen, and of this type is Governor E. Lec Trinkle." Dr. Gandy paid a glowing tribute to the governor for his broadness on race issues in the state, his educational policy, his democratic spirit and to the lofty motives which caused him to be elected governor and to the creditable manner in which he conducted his campaign. He declaimed that Virginia has seldom had an executive whose conduct of office was actuated by more lofty motives than those of the present governor. He also declared that he moved to the Negro in this state," declared Dr. Gandy, "and justice is all that the Negro asks in America." Of the Lieutenant Governor, Dr. Gary declared that he, too, is a son of whom this commonwealth might well be proud. He stated that his educational career in this state has been marked by knowing Lieutenant Governor West's educational policy, and for many years Mr. West had been a moving genius in the educational system of Virginia and the present advanced position of the State along this line can be largely attributed to his efforts. Lieutenant Governor West extended a warm welcome to the governor and wished to recognize his achievements and of confidence in the great factor for good the Negro Business League will continue to be to its people and for the common good of the nation. "We welcome you to the mother commonwealth," declared Lieutenant Governor West, "richer in historic knowledge, greater social and hospitality than in material things." PAYS TREDITE TO GOVERNOR He paid a tribute to the manliness and statismanship of the chief executive of the State, stating that he personally knew that it was with keen regret to the Governor that he was unable to attend, "Virginia," he declared, "has no special race problems, and the time is not far off when every child, in the State will be as young as the schooling every year." Lieutenant Governor West urged the development of strong Christian character in business and the loyal support of the state government. Continued in E-book No. 2.

Gillet, Dean Of The Washington College Of Law, Howard '83. Washington, D. C.—There was given in Washington recently, a banquet to the one woman dean of a law school in the United States, at the Grace Dodge Hotel, one of the newest hostelries erected here at the Capital. The guest of honor was Miss Emma Gillet, a founder of the Washington College of Law. On this occasion, many prominent men and women lauded the work accomplished by Dean Gillet as founder, teacher, practitioner of law and leader in many professional activities. The interesting thing about Miss Gillet, who is just celebrating her seventieth birthday, is that her legal studies were pursued at the Howard University School of Law, which was the only law school in the country at that time open to women. In 1883 she graduated from Harvard and University and was admitted to the bar. After spending some years in Washington as a practitioner of law, Miss Gillet and Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussy, organizer of a law school, Pet. Gillet, previously for woman. At its organization the class had three students and in two years the Washington College of Law was incorporated as an institution of learning. In 1918 Miss Gillet succeeded Mrs. Mussy, organizer of the Woman's Head of BAR Association. Dean Gillet served as vice-president of the Realty Appraisal and Title Company, was president of the Woman's Bar Association in 1921, and is at the present time vice-president of the District of Columbia. She is the senior woman lawyer in the District of Columbia.

To most people the objectionable features of an eye examination are the use of "drops" and the passing of lenses in front of the eyes in rapid succession, until the eyes are so tired that one cannot tell which lens is beat. Dr. Cooper examines the eyesight specialist jet in the Metropolitan Building, eliminates these features. His eye examination and the fitting of proper glasses has been his specialty for many years. Dr. Cooper is registered by the Virginia State Board of Examiners. His office is at 704 Church street, Metropolitan Bank Building, down NORFOLE JOURNAL AND GUIDE Dr. Motons' Speech Continued from Page One Association, the Negro Bar Association, the Undertakers Association, the Farmers Association, and the Association of Insurance Men. In this way we should organize the real estate men, the drugrista, the grocers the grocer, the repair shops, caterers, hotel proprietors, garage owners and others in every line of independent business. The Tailors Association has already decided to affiliate with the League; and under the leadership of Mr. J. A. Jackson, of the County Fair, the owners of the County Fair are to be organized this year, and with the cooperation of Mr. Jackson and others we hope to add an organization of the managers of Moving Picture Houses. There is clearly a large field for development in this area. The National Negro Business League should enter immediately. An illustration of the further possibilities in this direction is furnished in the drug line. There are in the United States today more than 1000 of which have a very definite need of certain preparations and articles of trade common to this line of business. The organization of this body of men would at once regulate this trade as to furnish the basis of a large manufacturing business to supply this trade. Already there exists in Philadelphia a drug manufacturing, concern established and operated by a graduate chemist from the country, Dr. William Fisher of Philadelphia, is the proprietor of this establishment which in a very proper way is seeking to supply this demand among Negro druggists. The Program Committee has invited Dr. Fisher to account of his business there and of the success with which he has met since its establishment. With the support and cooperation of every Negro druggist throughout the country, the program has been developed to such proportions as would make it a paying investment not to Dr. Fisher, but to all the other druggists who cooperate with him. This is the method already in use by the Rexal stores and other undertakers in the country, and the undertakers are using this method now, and in Memphis, Tennessee there is a coffin factory maintained and operated by Negro undertakers that is supplying a large share of the goods in use in this line by Negro undertakers, and that it is planning a still greater expansion of its business Mr. Franklin or Mr. Wilkerson, the President and Secretary of the Undetakers Association can tell you more in this project, mention those as examples that that in many of business after effective organization. Would Extend Usefulness Would extend usiness Would a step, I carried out, would prove more difficult in the annual meeting of the National League. This annual meeting would then be featured by strong sectional sessions for the various lines affiliated with the League where more and much needed attention would be given to the technical side of each kind of business. In the session then be devoted to those matters of general interest; dealing with capitalization, expansion, cooperation and other topics common to every line of business enterprise. Under such a system we would then have individuality and unity so happily interrelated as we exist under the National League and make it a still greater factor among all the forces working for the economic progress of the race. To Have Definite Program Out of such a policy there must naturally grow a definite program. I wish now to place the chief features of that program before you. First: the effective organization of the three bureaus which were approved last year at Atlanta. I refer to the Bureau of Business, the Bureau of Public Education and Cooperation, the Bureau of Consumer Affairs, and emphasize particularly the Bureau for Business Promotion, because it is fundamental. At each of the last two meetings of the League I have placed before you the urgent need there is for some fund to be available for business enterprises during periods of business depression, and for supplying the capital needed for the expansion of successful and growing enterprises. Most of you appreciate the serious loss to the race of more business enterprises to the importance of liquid assets immediately available to carry them over the crisis. As proposed, the plan calls for the purchase of blocks of stock by business men in every line, the entire proceeds of which would be applied to the purchase of liquid assets operated by a competent directorate along conservative lines. The sale of 1,000 shares at $100.00 a share would the first year give $100,000 for such purposes, which if kept intact, for five years, would give $500,000 for substantial foundation upon which to build a larger structure of Negro business. Time To Appoint Committee Time 10 Appoint Committee The time has come for this organization to organize its steps through a committee appointed for the purpose, to put into operation the machinery for the successful establishment of this fund. With the large number of banks, insurance companies, fraternal organizations, and successful business men operat- ing in the industry, there matter to secure the needed capital without delay and with no strain or sacrifice upon anyone. Aside from its benefits to those who are non-members, it would really constitute a 'species of insurance to its own members who may have need of its resources. Its possibilities, I am sure, are vast, so it is important the plan into operation. I recommend this as a definite accomplishment for this session of the League. Second Feature of Program Now for the second feature of that program: Except for the jar and shake-up caused by the two strikes-we are not going to strike—the country as a whole is getting back to normal very rapidly. As the tide swings toward the flood, I wish to recommend that we undertake the revival of what have been choked Boosting Campaigns through the campaign to be practiced in every community where there is a local branch of the National Negro Business League. Many of you will recall the report made at the meeting in Chattanooga in 1977, of the Money Saving Opportunities for Secretaries and Treasurers of Lodges, Fraternal Organizations Social Clubs, Etc. very successful results obtained in Atlanta from a Trade Boosting Campaign conducted by the Local League in that city and reported at our meeting by Mr. T. K. Gibson. The object of such a movement is to unite the various classes of business men in a campaign of educating our own people in that city as to the service which they can secure from business men of their own race in the various lines represented. It is not a mere cerbed effort to show to our people that they have among them business establishments that are prepared to give them the very service that they need in as good or perk find elsewhere. I understand a result of the campaign in Atlanta, some of the merchants realized as much as sixty per cent. increase in their business and a great many people who had never before patronized colored stores. We are induced to visit these establishments, but also to become their regular patrons. The general plan for organizing a Trade Boosting Campaign can be into printed form and distributed out to its effect in developing the holiday trade, and again for its use in anticipation of the Spring trade. Strive For More Patronage But just here let me remind you that it is not necessary to look only to our own people, for patronage. Some of the most successful business enterprises among our people have been developed very largely upon the advice of our own business competition with white business firms. Right here in your own state, Mr. George P. Inge, of Chriostelleville, has become one of the most successful business men in the state and one of the most business whose largest patronage is Down in Alabama, in the town of Tuskegee, there is a Negro merchant, Mr. A. J. Wilborn, whose success has been achieved in furnishing supplies to the hotels in Danville, a there is a Negro bar merchant, the greater part of the trade in bread and pastry to the hotels and restaurants of that city. I still believe that if a Negro will supply as good goods at a reasonable price as any other, nor his own color will draw the line on him because of his color. A third feature of this program that should be of great help in promoting Negro business is the organization and conduct of short courses in business for Negro business men in business for Negro business men in local loyagues. The idea in brief is to localize the Negro business men of a certain section for a period of from two to five days, and there present to them in a simple, direct form the essentials of business methods and principles that will be most helpful in this particular time. The leaders in this world be in mind, successful in some particular line of business, who would take the time to place before the men who are gathered together those elemental facts upon which his success has been achieved. Colored business men could be particularly helpful, but just beginning; and I am sure that in many communities there would be no difficulty whatever in securing the service of successful white business men in such an enterprise. In those places, where there are boarding houses for people and sure it would be an easy matter to the use of dormitories and classroom for conducting this short course. Such schools as Fisk, Mamm- ton, Howard, Atlanta, Tuskegee, Wilberforce, Talladega and similar school would be induced glad to cooperate in every possible way to make an undertaking a success. The information and contact would both be ful in every way to the development of our people. A. Full Time Secretary Fourth, I think that the time has now come for the National Negro Business League to employ a director or secretary or agent of some kind who shall devote all of his time to the organization and promotion of the League, and to the work of establishing a suitable agency for putting our business men in touch with the most helpful sources of aid in the promotion and development of their businesses. We have developed enterprises whose chief handicap is not the lack of integrity, but the ignorance of many of the fundamental principles of trade. It would in many a case greatly help him to understand the agent of the League who would not himself tell him what to do, but put him in touch with some one else who would help him in making his way upward. Those of you who have succeeded in change in your fortunes from the day when some one person gave you the suggestion that put you on the right track toward success. Such a representative of the League would do u Recommends Scholarship And last but not least, I wish to recommend that the League establish a series of scholarships that would make it possible to select each year one or two strong promising young students of one of the standard schools of commerce or perhaps journalism where they would fit themselves to enter a business career with a thorough background in the trade and commerce. The growth business among our own people is becoming such that the need of this kind of training for our young people grows more and more apparent. We have discovered that there can be further largement of business in certain lines at least until we can find competent young men and women, trained in this thorough way to take business in the higher development. Ignorance is at present time a greater handicap to successful business among Negroes than dishonesty; and there is a defined limit to expansion beyond which it cannot go until we have a body of trained assistants to carry it forward. In all of this I mean to emphasize this fact; that scientific methods in business must supplant the present man in the business. The second man of our race see some other success in a given line of business and decide to enter upon the same line with little or no knowledge of the business, but at the same time he sees the business succeed without the other man has succeeded. With the growing competition in business throughout the country, it is becoming almost impossible for a man to succeed in business without a thorough knowledge of the other he undertakes to develop. Any man who goes into business today with out some knowledge of the buying process of his clients, the distribution of the character of his patrons, is particularly fare-doomed to failure. Definite and exact information in many things A week-end Festival was given at the Community Center, beginning Monday evening and ending Thursday evening.

Editor Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Va. SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922 The idea of business, the business idea, has the right of way in Tidewater Virginia, at this time among us, emphasized by the gathering of the National Negro Business League. BENEFITS OF HOME LABOR "What makes America rich? Not lands, buildings, stocks and bonds, railcads and factories. These are only the tools and equipments of a rich people. America's true wealth is its population of stalwart men and true women and the children they are rearing to take their places in carrying forward "America's destiny." This is the viewpoint of Hearest's New York American, which has done more to corrupt American public opinion than all of the radical news papers bunched; but the viewpoint is correct. The statements of the American were made to enforce a plea for the unrestricted immigration we had before the World War, when we were receiving more than a million new people from Europe every year. Now we are receiving but a small number per annum, and we are not likely to have unrestricted immigration again. There is a well grounded belief among millions of people, including the membership of organized labor, that we now have all of the foreign born population that we need and that is good for the Nation. Most of the disturbing conditions have, and which are giving the Nation so much trouble, are due to the radical doctrines of our foreign born citizens, who do not understand our democratic institutions and would Sovietise or Communize our industrial system, although that which we have, and by which they benefit so enormously is vastly better than anything they were accustomed to in Europe. There are defects in our civil and economic systems, but they are not to be replaced by Socialist, Communist or Soviet systems without distinct loss in personal and economic values. Only the big concerns that want to exploit the resources, of the country are in favor of unrestricted immigration, to meet the demand for cheap, raw labor, covered by the highest sort of tariff, the benefits of which go to the protected industries and not to the wage earners, who are paid no more than the labor supply can command, and when it is too large wages always fall to the lowest point. We keep the labor supply normal by keeping the cheap foreign labor out. Mr. Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders see that very plainly. Home labor is the best and most reliable in the long run, and the most contented all of the time. Southern employers found that to be so when their labor supply was disastrously drawn upon by the war work industries. And we have enough home labor for the normal needs of the country, with export profiteering cut out, or minimized as to our surplus production. WASTE ON THE FARM Ws are all interested in waste because most of human effort goes to waste. It is not so much so now as formerly, as specialized education is doing much to minimize it, but there is far too much of it, when it is considered how much money and labor are required in the making or producing of any article whatsoever. The observant reader in our large cities will notice how foreigners—mong them make a good living and often comfortable fortunes by gathering and sorting and selling the old and worn out things of all sorts, many of them still capable of service. And as the garbage cans are full of scraps and whole pieces of foodstuff which are considered as waste by those who have not learned how to use them to the best economic advantage. This is the true condition of affairs in most Afro-American homes. Mr. Thomas B. Patterson, an expert in farm demonstration work, has a thoughtful article on waste on the farm in the July issue of the Rural Messenger, which it would be good if all of our farmers could have the opportunity to read it. He says no other business could "survive the lower methods that obtain on the average farm in the South. More poverty is the result of this one contributing cause, waste due to bad management than to all others put together." This wast consists not only in bad waste, consists not only in bad use in the treatment of the stock by bad conditions, and neglect of farm machinery, which is so exposed and neglected as to require replacement that amounts to dead loss and becomes a dreadful drag on the financial resources of the farmer. Mr. Patterson says that there are 224 demonstration agents, sixty-seven of them women, working among our farmers to teach them better methods of farming and economy in the management of their farms and homes, "but the number is entirely too small for the vast territory they must cover." But we have that many faithful experts on the job and their number must, by the force of necessity, increase as we go along. A SUPERNATURAL STATE The ten or more millions of people of African origin in the United States are vitally concerned, not only in what policy their white fellow citizens may deem good and just to pursue towards them, but they are interested in what the white races in their Nationals think to be good and just policy towards the African people generally. The Christian Nations have the notion that they have a Divine right to rule off-color races, and they are doing it; but whether they are doing it according to the spirit of the Divine right they claim as therus is another question which they seldom discuss. In the Americas, in the West Indies, in the East Indies, in Africa, the white races have the overlordship, and they are using it, and have used it, to promote their interests at the expense of the subject races. We do not consider this to be the spirit of the Christian law. Sir Lionel Curtis, a distinguished British statesman, now visiting in the United States, in an address recently, at the Institute of Politics, at Williamstown, Mass., said that, "nowadays, all politics, in the last analysis, turn on the mutual relations between the white races and those of Asia and Africa," and that "this involves the creation of a Supernatural State, or, in other words, a Commonwealth of Nations." Further: "No State can ever dispense with force until every citizen is all wise and wholly unselfish." Freedom depends upon solving the problem of ruling the peoples in the Supernatural Commonwealth without destroying the character of the members of it. Sir Lionel thinks The Christian Nations will have a time of it living up to idealistic government proposed by Sir Lionel, as they have adopted the hard and fast rule that non-white subjects shall have no more participation in the governments under which they live than they are forced to yield them. Force is necessary, then, as in India, the West Indies, and Africa, with special emphasis on the brutal rule of the British Crown Colony of the Union of South Africa. It is this attitude, this policy, more than any other of the ideas of Marcus Garvey to unify the thought and concentrate the civil and economic activities of the African people everywhere, and it is this policy of his that appeals most to the thoughtful people of the African race. SHOULD PAY THEIR DEBTS FIRST Our race has made much progress in church building—much more than in any other direction—all of which is good and desirable. This progress was made through the toil and sweat of the poor people, the great tolling masses of the race. They are the ones that build churches and that build everything else that pertains to the material and spiritual progress of the race as a group. It is proper and fitting that our churches should pay their ministers well, for their labors are hard, and most of them have had to endure hardships and make great sacrifices to obtain an education and to prepare themselves for the ministry. They should be paid salaries that comport with the high dignity of their calling. But sane and economical church administration is as necessary for the progress and well-being of the race, and especially of the toiling, sweating masses of the race as sane and economical administration of our schools and our business enterprises. Churches should remove themselves from the burden of heavy indebtedness, which in the final analysis rests up on the necks of the toiling, sweating masses, before they go in for luxuries or for anything that, is non-essential in the administration of the business of the church. For instance, a church whose membership is composed largely of people who in their own right cannot afford the luxury of an automobile; who for the most part are hard working, every-day toilers, taxed to the limit of their resources to pay for the homes in which they live either as renters or purchasers; or to send that boy or girl that has finished the public schools off to normal school or college, should not indulge in giving to their pastor such gifts as an automobile.

HE GETS FULL BENEFIT Hubby—I can't understand why you should always show such a mean and frankly disposition in the morning. We are interested in our churches. We are all interested in our churches, with the support and the administration of them. Our ministers are public servants as well as servants of the Master, and their acts, private and public, are subject to discussion and criticism, just like the acts of other public men. When they err in judgment in the opinion of the press or any other media of public expression it is altogether likely that they will be discursed. In this paper, such discussion is never inspired by any other motive than that of serving the best interests of its constituency. That there may be no misunderstanding as to this editorial, and that the ministers of the city may not be put to the necessity of calling a meeting to invite us to name the minister, or the church referred to, we wish to state that we refer to all churches of all denominations, and that the specific case which prompted the writing of this editorial was the gift of an automobile to its pastor, Rev. C. P. Madison, by the members of Second Calvary Baptist Church.

Yes, I believe that dancoe, I give Dr. Madison to the people, and I give Dr. Madison to the people, his outspoken attitude, toward this evil. He is the kind of minister needed in the community, one who believes the truth to his people. All of Norse, I should have such preachers as he is. Editor Norfolk Journal and Guide, Sir: I am in accord with Dr. Madison on the sermons on dancing that he has written for gations for the past few Sunday nights. I think that his sermons will do the community considerable good. Dr. Madison is a fearless minister and his likes are needed city, city, city. EMBERRY Scissored NORFOLK RACE RELATIONS In Southern 'communities' racial comity is put to its severest strain in periods of excitement growing out of public revulsion against crime. The theme needs no elaboration. The story of nearly every outrage in which the racial animus figures is the simple one of two races dwelling side by side and working together with reasonable good will and understanding up to the point when a criminal act upsets the racial balance and cleaves the two elements asunder. The supreme test of a community's attachment to law and order comes at precisely this point. That many communities—and they are by no means exclusively Southern—fail to meet the challenge. It is also true. This newspaper looks forward to the day when lynching will be as unthinkable in America as executions for witchcraft. That day will come when the country, the South especially, has fought its way through long-inherited prejudice, to a concept of social justice that will allow the victim to a person's punishment because of the color of his skin, as from something polluted and degrading. Towards this ideal of strict justice uninflamed by racial passion, we are confident, the best thought of the South is steadily working. The behavior of the Norfolk community in immigration is encouraging the belief that the goal is attainable. In an earlier day a double murder of this type might have terminated in a revolting act of mob violence. Both rates have reason to be thankful that a new public temper has come into being—a public temper that is founded on a heightened respect for the processes of law, and a dedication to the protection of the judicial function by the mob. Towards the forming of this new public temper all agencies of information, education and enlightenment are making their contribution, the schools and colleges no less than the lecture platform and the pupil; the writers of the news and the makers of plays. An effective worker in the good cause is the newspaper. Through its columns the act of the criminal is advertised. The tale of the crime must be told, but it can be told in a manner to inflame and it can be told merely to inform. In the difficulty of this difficult class of news the author of the city have been notably fair and restrained. It was notably true in the Chambers case. The influence of this particular co-operation in the effort to eliminate needless friction between the races, is warmly commended by the Journal and Guide—a colored body publicized that plays its own important part in serving the pleasant relations that obtain in this community between the two races. In make-up, presentation of news and above all in its carefully considered opinions on the many-sided race question, it represents the best that Southern Negro journalism has so far produced. It is a force for women with the daily papers of the city a high duty in the service of justice and inter-racial understanding—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

On behalf of the National Negro Business League he extended thanks to Virginians for their hospitality and urged a greater cooperation among the races. Mr. Napier, then arose to introduce Dr. Moton in the absence of Dr. Gregg, of Hampton, who was scheduled to make the introduction. Mr. Napier said that it would have been particularly significant to have had Dr. Gregg to introduce Dr. Moton, for it was through the inspiration of Hampton's illustrious son, Booker T. Washington, that the National Negro Business League came into existence and her worthy sons, Dr. Moton, in now known to These two sons of Hampton Mr. Napier paid a glowing tribute. HON. BOLTON SMITH SPEAKS Hon. Bolton Smith, white, of Memphis, Tennessee, followed Dr. Moton with an address on, "Christianity the Only Way." The speaker illustrated thru his subject the futility of violence on the oppressor and toward the solution of race problems. He stated that there had been a time in history when oppressed peoples effectively employed violence to remove the oppression and such an illustration could be applied to the serfs of the North. He said that the oppressors seded by the Aristocracy. But in that case the oppressed were in the majority and the oppressors in the minority and the majority could well afford to resort to violence against the minority. With the Negro in America, the majority would be Smith, and it would ill afford him to think of violent retaliation. But Christianity is the way, said the speaker, and your Christian forebearance, will shame the white man against his civilization. Mr. Smith, a University for the study of Negro History, Dr. Moton announced at the close of the address. OPENING SESSION On Wednesday morning, the League held its opening session at the Attucks Theatre, at 10:30 a.m. Over 1,000 persons attended. H. T. Dickey, chairman of the Norfolk Negro Chamber of Commerce, called the meeting "Americans" by the audience assembled. Mr. Dickey declared that none have a greater right to sing "My Country 'Tis Of Thee," than the American Negro, because it was a member of the race who shed the first blood for American Independence. He said and for it we are willing to die." Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D., welcomed the visitors on behalf of the churches and schools. "Norfolk believes in education," he said, "and is willing to put money in brains." The Negro Chamber of Commerce wrote To the late Robert B. Young, editor of Norfolk Journal and Guide. To the late Booker T. Washington, the founder of the League, he paid a splendid tribute and said Virginia feels proud of the National Negro Business League because it was born of those visions and aims are being interpreted by another great Virginian, Dr. Robert R. Moton. Dr. Moton was given an ovation and presented J. C. Napier, ex-register of the Treasury, and one of the most prominent men of the race. Mr. Napier has been inspired to greater activity been inspired to greater activity along the line of commerce, business and trade, which Booker T. Washington undertook to lead us twenty years ago. We have blended home, church and education to such an extent that we are now able to accept We are glad to be here and accept with thanks your hospitality. G. H. James, of Charleston, W. V., spoke on the wholesale fruit business, a line of commerce in which he is enthusiastic about problems in the wholesale produce business," he said. He related the experiences of his early struggle, when he carried his stock upon his truck, and his three sons got into the business. Among the prominent speakers at the opening session were: Hon. P. W. Howard, of Washington, D. C., representing the United States. Department of Justice; C. C. Spaulding, of Durham, N. C., secretary-manager of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company, the largest and the largest Negro insurance company in the country. J. M. Insurance president of the same company; N. W.

Last term a very critical financial assessment of receipt of an allotment of $1,990 from the State Board of Education. Prospects of getting aid from that source this term are not bright. The school has been maintained for the past two years by a voluntary assessment of industrial depression of the past several months, these assessments have been paid by only a faithful few. Unless the citizens rally strong in the next few weeks with payment of town taxes, or outside aid is secured the prospects of the proof of this term indeed look gloomy.

At a mass meeting held a few nights ago plans were devised for putting forth a definite program towards securing an adjustment of monthly payments so as to divert a larger portion of them toward education on the project. So far the United States Housing Corporation has maintained hands off policy in spite of the many protestations by the townpeople. Church Notice—"Splendid music will be a feature. Come early.

BRIGGS Instructor of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON GOLDEN TEXT—The hand of our God is upon all that them seek for him good—Ezra 5:22 I Exra's Noble Purpose—Ezra 71-18. Happy, and strong must we be, able to endure all things, and to do all things if we believe that every day, hour, every moment of our life he his hands—Dr. Henry Van Dyke. Exra, who was to become a great leader of the Jews, was born probably in Babylon, in the reign of king Houd under Xerxes. His name means "help." He was a Lovelie, he is a descendant of Levi, and he belonged to the priestly branch of the family, descended from the grand father had been high priest under King Zedekiah, was captured by Ngbuchadnezzar at the final soge of Jern salam, and put to death. and he belonged to the priestly branch of the family, descended from Aaron. His great-great grand father had been King David Zedekiah, was captured by Nebuchadnezzar at the final seige of Jerusalem, and put to death. Farther back, another ancestor was in the reign of Josiah discovered the Book of the Law in the temple. The exiles honored their religious leaders, and Ezrn, belonging to a family especially distinguished, would be sure to be held accountable, more than Joseph, indeed, says that he was their high priest. Ezra's lofty ambition is summed up in the 10th verse. He had set his heart to seek the law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances. His noble purpose Ezra was generously supported by Artaxerxes, the king of Babylon. This beneficent ruler gave Ezra a letter of commission; issued a decree that all the Jews, who desired could return with king and the king's gold to the project. All the silver and gold which Ezra found and also a free will offering of the people were taken by the company of Ezra. Verse 23 gives the reader the extent of the king's interest and generosity. Verses 27, 29 tell of Ezra's gratitude to the king, and his king. 2 The Fast and Prayer of Ezra.—Ezra 8:1-23. "Like the Israelites after the defeat at Gibeah in their retributive war with Benjamin (Jud. 20:26); like the penitent people at Mizpah, in the days of Samuel, when they put away their idols, when they took away Jehovah of his subjects, after a threatened invasion filled them with apprehension (2 Chron. 20:3); Ezra and his followers fasted and humbled themselves before God in view of their hazardous undertaking."—Expositor's Bible. At the river Ahava Jehovah was done, fast, this was done he had taken as cause of the hoods of the houses of Israel. Several reasons are given for the fast and prayer: (1) the pilgrims needed Jehovah's guidance on the journey they needed Jehovah's protection along the journey. Ezra had refused the scort offered him by the king. This religious leader had great confidence in the hand of our God is upon all them that seek him for good." etc. v. 22. There are three elements in the effectiveness of Ezra's leadership: (1) Leader and led were likeminded, inspired by the same spirit and devoted to the same end. The absence to the same end shows that nobody went wishing to go. Those who are banded together in a common cause must love the cause: there must be intelligent enthusiasm in the part of the led no less than on the part of the leaders. (2) The leader was capable of showing fine practical sagacity throughout. He holds a muster of his men before the start proper, and takes immediate steps to have the serious gap in the ranks filled up. Again, he is not afraid of his theaters, he talks very plainly to the others, the public maintains their holiness, and to look after the gifts entrusted to them with vigilance and fidelity. (3) There was a genuine and practical recognition of God. The expedition was inspired through and through with a team of wise presence—Dr. J. E. McFadym. 3. The Journey is made safely by Ezra—Ezra 8:24-36. Pray to God at the beginning of the thy works, that thou mayest bring them to a good conclusion.—Xenophon. Oraea had great faith in God, and at the same time he wept aloud, performance of the undertakings in an organized and orderly manner. He set apart twelve of the chiefs of the priests to carry the silver and the gold and the vessels, and the offering for the house of God. He weighed them unto these carriers. He admonishes these men to watch and keep this treasure, until it would be sufficient for them to bear the chiefs of the priests, and the Lovely and the princes at Jerusalem. Ezra did not question the integrity of the chiefs of the priests, he had not dubious thought about their honesty; but business, is business. They left the river Ahava on the twelfth of Nisan our April, and they arrived safely in Jerusalem on the third of Nisan, month our August. On arrival at Jerusalem safely these pilgrims offered burnt-offering to God. "Every denomination is in urgent need of able young me to fill its ancient pulpits. Every Sunday school is equipped and deeply consecrated teachers. Every prayer meeting needs more Christians who will lead their fellow Christians in prayer encourage them with testimony. Every abroad needs more workers—missionaries, colporters, medical missionaries, helpers of every kind. BRIGGSOGRAMS. These are the requisite of every responsibility, unitability.

Brownie Jingles Henry was a Brownie, With his small boy's appetite, He liked to do a kindness. But was not always in the right. His mother told him gently, Before he joined the club, I have no objection, But to be good, is the rub. Well, Tom Brown is a member, And I'm as good as he; He teases little children; Please, mother let me be. So mother stopped complaining, And Henry wrote his letter; Thought she, I like the Brownie Club. And it might make him better. Up and down, all over town, Our Henry, never failing, Carried the news, wore out his shoes, On Brownies all prevailing. One fine day, upon his way, He spied an orchard pretty, Forgot himself, took off his hat, And began to sing a ditty. The day was fine, the fruit did shine, And Henry climbed a tree, He filled his hat with peaches fat, They were good; Oh mercy me. You naughty boy, Jack cried with joy; Did you not speak to me, Just yesterday, did you not say, A Brownie good you'd be. Now Brownies small, One and all, If you should fall from grace; Get right back into place. Which Brownie wears out shoes the faster? Why is this true? "Early to bed and early to rise makes the healthy, wealthy and wise." Why is a stamp like a bad boy before a pile of uncut wood? NEW MEMBERS MARIE ATKINS 411 Cumberland Street.

White Bankers Advise With Colored Richard Spillane in Philadelphia Public Ledger Something unique in banking history has come to pass in Philadelphia. Three white bankers of distinction—E. Pussey Passmore, president of the American, the oldest bank in the United States, the S. Wing, president of the Provident Trust Company and E. G. Parsly, of Parsly Brothers and Co., investment bankers—are acting as an advisory board for a small Negro bank, the Citizens and Southerners, founded by the right and his son. All things Citizens and Southern Bank has done pretty well. It has more than 4000 depositors, with aggregate deposits of $115,000. It has a substantial balance in the Bank of North America, and it made an excellent investment in Liberty Bonds, buying $2,000 of them at prices ranging from $10 to $15. It has done good deal to promote thrift and better understanding among the colored people. The Negro has had a hard row to hoe. He never has had a square deal. Before emancipation he was wholly dependent on his owner. Freedom the whites appreciate. It is difficult to overcome in a generation or two race habits and customs of centuries. The Negro is here to stay. He can be elevated in citizenship if guided well and intelligently. He has the reputation of the Citizens and Southern Bank and other Negro banks would seem to show that this reputation is not wholly deserved. Thrift is an excellent basis for good citizenship and better living. One of the things that Mr. Wright and his wife did to get better housing for the Negro, Environment has a decided effect on character. The Negro is highly sentimental. Those who ought to know believe that interest in their well-being, such as displayed by the white bankers on the streets, should be better housing for the Negro, Environment has a decided effect on character. The Negro is highly sentimental. Those who ought to know believe that interest in their well-being, such as displayed by the white bankers on the streets, should be better housing for the Negro, Southern Bank, will greatly stimulate saving among the colored people. Banking is comparatively new to the Negro. It is to save such men as the Messrs. Wright from error that Mr. Passmore, Mr. Wing and Mr. Parsley are giving their service. If they will do an excellent work, they fully appreciate the task they have undertaken and expect to have quite a draft on their time and patience. Philadelphia has approximately 135,000 Negroes in the population. That number will increase by year by year. Thrift and good citizenship will make the colored citizen more and more of an asset. Through safe, sound banking much can be done to that end. The Philadelphia plan of dealing with the Negro, as opposed to the success of the Negro, as passed by the service, Mr. Passmore, Mr. Wing and Mr. Parsley have volunteered, deserves the earnest consideration of the Nation. Dr. Moton Speaks Continued from PaPge Three . . . is an essential requirement of those who start business today and hope to develop it to success. The National Negro Business League was established for this very purpose; purpose and to those who are hoping to enter business the benefit of the knowledge and experience of those who have already succeeded. Say what you will, if a man has a good pedigree we expect more of him. For business who are interested in the possibilities of Negro business there is perhaps no finer illustration to be found anywhere in our country than right here in this section which is the host of the National Negro Business League on this occasion. Here we present the centers centering around Norfolk a splendid illustration of Negro enterprise as is to be found anywhere. Practically every line of business is represented on our modest market grocery store to substantiate well organized banks and insurance companies. Negroes in this section have not been slow in the development of business, and there are well organized group of colored people who work where else in our country. But even here the possibilities of development in business have yet to be taken full advantage of. In this section there are 17 centers where conservative estimate spend annually over $15,000,000 for food and clothing. From reliable sources we have it estimated that for every dollar the Negro earns he spends 36 cents for shelter and 12 cents for shelter including insurance, 17 cents for luxuries, amusements education and benevolence, and save one cent. Applying these figures to the Norfolk district, we find that the Negro earns $1,000,000 for one million dollars for shoes estimating two pairs of shoes a year for each individual at an average cost of a little more than $3.00 per pair. The clothing they wear earns annually more than two million dollars. At grocery stores, butcher shops and other places where food stuffs are purchased they are spendable over two million dollars. Roughly booming have in the Norfolk district at least eight million dollars spent by Ng- HARVARD Instead of chomply made "Untri- guntanced Uprights from $13 Very easy terms—As low us $0.0 MENZEL 213 WEST FREEMAS Two Minutes f COAL PHONE 24683 DRY SLAB WOOD — OAK SLAB WOOD — PINE BLOCK WOOD OAK BLOCK WOOD ANTHRACITE HARD COAL — Pecahontes Not, Rt.

It is not to be expected that Negro business men will get all of this patronage, but it is within the bounds of reason to suggest that a full development of Negro business would bring Negro business men at least one-fifth of this population. Add to this one million dollars of patronage for white people and we would have three million dollars annually as the basis for the promotion of Negro business enterprises in and around Norfolk. Although I do not have the figures, I am satisfied that the business will aggregate of Negro business in this district is still a long way from this total. It is such possibilities as these that constitute the basis for the work of the National Negro Business League, and more and more I am convinced that there is a real need to demand for such a organization as the National Business League. The Negro race needs the inspiration and information which this organization with its well organized and affiliated bodies can give. It also needs the unification of effort which the National League represents if we weave the economic upbuilding which is to the continued and permanent development of the race along all lines. And we need at the same time the combined help of this organization with all of our other organizations in their efforts to advance the race cooperating at the same time with the growing group of white people both North and South, who are working selflessly to see that every group of every race, whatever its creed or color, have that unhampered opportunity for development which is as diverse as any one of its citizens by that nation.
