DRINK CRAZED MAN TRIESTO MURDER WOMAN WITH LIGHTED LAMP HAIR CATCHES AFIRE AND BODY BADLY BURNS Young Woman Saves Life By Jumping Out, Window When Enraged Man Tries To Murder Her With Lamp And Knife. ASSAILANT ARRESTED AT MOTHER'S HOME "True love never runs smooth." The poet said it many centuries ago, and Miss Ella Riddick, of 1207 Chicacola street, can testify to the truth of the old Bard's saying. With the hair burned from her scalp, face and arm severely cut and both hands terribly burned, all inflicted by Charlie Murphy, an old friend, who did the damage with a lighted lamp, she presented a pathetic picture Monday morning as she encasured to relate how her romance had brought her so much grief. HER OLD FRIEND Charlie lived in Victoria street before he took up his abode at the city jail. He had kept company with Miss Riddick for a long while and went around Saturday night to press his suit a little stronger. As the woman relates it, Charlie knocked at the door about 11 o'clock and she admitted him. He inquired of her how she felt and she informed him that she was not feeling so well. Her erstwhile sweetheart in her life came from his pocket and offered it to her. She at first refused his preferred kindness, insisting that she did not feel well. Ella said that she realized at once that Charlie had been drinking and was not exactly of himself and as she did, she popped him obliged. She then took a seat on a couch in the front room and Charlie, thinking probably it was a good time to patch up old differences, attempted to take a seat but he was not very steady, and alas, she was not very well. Derek essented his clumsiness and told him so. He then asked her if she didn't care to talk to him. Ella answered she would talk to him when he was feeling better, but Charlie that that the best time to t talk over things was talking and insisted on her giving him more attention. The woman realizing that things were growing sort of unpleasant, left the room and asked the man to leave the house if he did not feel like behaving himself. He angered him, for instance, from Miss Biddick if she did not talk with him that night he would kill her. RAN TO KITCHEN She retired to the kitchen and insisted that he leave the house or behave better, as he had by this time become boisterous and unruly. Another woman, companion of Miss Riddick, who lives in the same house, joined her and the door between the rooms (shutting Murphy alone in the front. This action enraged the whiskey crazed man and he began to hammer and kick the door. Ella ran and propped her body up against it so as to keep him from breaking it open. Her Murphy broke it open, taking its weight, broke it open, knocking Miss Riddick out in the floor. He seized a lighted lamp, struck her in the temple, cutting her fiercely, exploding and setting her hair on fire. The woman dazed and her head blazing, ran around the room shimming around the blaze on her head with bare hands). The other woman had, too, become excited and she simply ran around the room behind the burning woman, but not having the presence of mind to do anything for her. Finally a thought of what to do came to her and she bed and threw it around the head of the burning girl. This timely action subdued the blaze and probably saved Ella's life. TRIED TO CUT HER During these frantic moments when the women were trying to put out the blaze and save Ella's life Charlie was imploring her companion to not put out the fire, just keep from her and give him a chance to get to Ella and finish the job with his knife. Ella van from the room back into the kitchen, whereupon all the time that he'd finish her before he left the place. She ran back into the room and he followed until she fell, whereupon he struck her several times before she regained her feet. When she finally broke from him again she ran into a closet and closed herself in. Murphy landed on the closet door and just as he was walking down the stairs the window and jumped into the lane and escaped the enraged man. The hair is burned from Ella's scalp, her hands are severely burned from fighting the fire on her head with bare hands; her head is armored with a metal shield. She is sent to St. Vincent's Hospital: Saturday night and after bandaging her many wounds was sent home. Monday morning Ella was simply a mass of bandage. Charlie Murphy was arrested Sunday morning at his mother's home in Chapel street and lodged in jail. His case was called for a hearing Monday morning but his victim was uninterrupted and it went over for a later date. Meeting Opposition In New York 1 GARVEY FIGHTING TO HOLD FOLLOWERS Organizations Putting Up Formidable Opposition To Leaders Of U. N. I. A. "Provisional President of Africa, President of the Black Star Line, President General] of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," the "Rt. Hon." Marcus Garvey, is now in the closing week of his third convention international. Since the first day of the present month the convention has been in progress, but the Hon. Marcus has had the most tumultuous session this year than ever in the history of his movement. The service of the police has been necessary to quiet things down around Liberty Hall. Inside the organization and outside of it the "African Moses" the styles himself, has met formidable opposition. One of his stunts hustleants, J. W. H. Eason said he included His profile once the rostrum at one session when Garvey accused Eason of trying to disrupt the convention. Formidable Opposition. More than these little personal bickorings, however, there is now a formidable opposition to Garveyism by other race organizations and prominent persons in New York. An American missionary in the African Blood Brotherhood, Friends of Negro Fredon have launched and are carrying on a vigorous campaign to drive Garvey and his movement out of the country. Marcus Garvey's alleged interview with Edward Young Clarke, the Imperial Kileague leader, was the first Ku Klux Klan has served to align people, who once looked upon his movement with a sort of tolerance, formidably against him. He has been trying ever since he left Atlanta to explain that interview and have given more than one version of his appeal to appease tries to explain it to followers and the race, the more its ominous head rises to torment him. Brotherhood Opens Office. The African Blood Brotherhood has established offices uptown. on seventh avenue and from there are circulating anti-Gavety literature over the streets. Garveyites menaced the organization's leader at his office one night last week; and at the theatre crowd came along and among it were anti-Garveyites and the police had to be called to quell the disturbance. The Garveyites's opposers that he is using the Ku Klux Klan's known enmity to the Negro as a means to aid his movement. That he is encouraging in every way the mistreatment of Negroes to frighten them into his back to Africa movement. Then again they claim that Negroes have lost $1,000,000 in his business: schemes. When the man appears on the streets there is no more loud cheering. Some of the bystanders are thinking of the money they can get, but they can not agree with the man in sillying his movement with the Klan. SCHOOL HOUSING CRITICAL Norfolk parents and teachers who realize how serious were the overcrowding conditions in the colored schools last term, are alarmed over just what they will be in term with what they will be increased enrollment. It was reported that something more than 1,500 students were on part time classes because of the lack of housing facilities and it is believed with the opening of school this fall that number will be greatly increased. It is rumored that the school will extend to the high school. Many parents have stated that they are waiting to see to just what extent this overcrowding will effect their children, as it may be necessary for them to send their high school boys and girls out of town to secure adoptions. Members of the city Board of Education state that the conditions are appreciated by the Board and that plans are now being developed to take care of the situation. They could not say that these plans would develop to afford relief this term, however. YOUNG GIRLS AT PRESIDENT ASKS LEAGUE SESSIONS MERRY-GO-ROUND FEDERAL POWER TO MARKED BY CALM EXPOSED TO VICE PROTECT ALIENS SANE DISCUSSION Mingle With Men And Women Until Late Hour At Night; Accept Rides From Strangers Or Anyone Who Will Pay. Young girls from ten to fifteen years old hang around the Merry-Go-Round on upper street street, near Queen, nightly from early in the evening until it closes at 10 a.m. If the majority of cases these girls are uncompanied by older presidents. Although men do not take to riding the horses very much there is always a crowd standing around. The girls are anxious for a ride and an offer from anybody to pay for a ride for them is usually accepted. The girls are riding by older women, sometimes by half-grown boys and not infrequently by grown men. The men seldom ever accompany the girls in the circle but more often the girls are riding on nickles handed to them by men in the crowd. And there are any number of these girls there. It is not known that they are motherless or fatherless, but it is known that seldom is anyone with them claiming to be mother or father. MINGLE WITH CROWDS When these children are not riding they are mingling with the crowd which is composed of boys, grown men and women, hoping to get a pleasant nod for an offer to ride at some older person's expense. The children are old, bare hended and bare legged, unsuspecting, and usually easy prey for the wickedly wise, are dodging and flitting through the crowd. Some are older, but no less unsophisticated. And their being a little older makes their situation even more perilous. The Merry-Go-Round is situated near the area known to be vice ridden. Among the few freeways around the merry making, are women who are known to be denizing of the vice district. Yet the mingling is there. Dopesters, prostitute women, young unsuspecting girls and degenerate men. Conditions as they exist around the place are the encumbration of vice - Nightly those children of seen exchanging glances with men and boys, hoping to win a ride on the Merry-Go-Round. PROMINENT WOMEN IN RAIL ROAD WRECK Suffolk Ladies, Well Known In Norfolk Had Narrow Escape From Death Or Injury. Suffolk, Vn.- Mrs. Fannie Williams, the wife of Mr. Robert Williams; Miss Sidonia Marshall and Mrs. Virginia Crocker, wife of Mr. W. H. Crocker, real estate operator, all prominent persons of this place narrowly leagued by an injury when the coach in which they were traveling on the International Railways high power speed line enroute to Niagara Falls overturned last Friday. The rail line connects Buffalo with Niagara Falls and the track was dynamically engaged in the attack. According to statements of members of the party there was first a terrific explosion followed by a crash. The front car was thrown across the track and the car in which they were riding was overturned. The women were assisted from the overpass by the white man who had been a passenger on the train. Mrs. Crocker was cut by flying glass, otherwise the party's greatest suffering was from shock. None sustained serious injury. The train that was wrecked, the Suffolk passengers said, was loaded with coal and water. Harrisonburg, Baltimore and Winston, who arrived the night before over the Pennsylvania road. The latest reports from the ladies are that they are now at Niagara not much the worse for their experience. PHYSICAL DIRECTOR Professor J. R. Wood, of Hertford, N. C., has been appointed director of physical culture at the local "Y" Mr. Wood is a graduate of Shaw University and is said to be well fitted for the position. Under his direction the physical culture department of Y. M. C. receive careful consideration. Mr. Wood is an ardent advocate of physical fitness and his addition to the "Y" staff should greatly enlarge its service. Mr. Leon C. James, executive secretary of the local Y. M. C. A., was called to his home in Paducah, Ky., last Sunday by the sudden death of his wife. Mr. James did not know of any illness of Mrs. James and the announcement of her death came as a great In Message To Congress Urges Invasion Of States By National Police Authority For Protection Of Human Life. Washington, D. G., Aug. 19. President Harding for addressing a joint session of the Congress on yesterday on the coal and railway strike situations, urged that Congress consider favorably a pending bill for the better protection of aliens. This, recommendation of the President was "impelled by a pitiful sense of Federal impotence to deal with shocking crime, armed men, which he horrified the armed and horrified the country," and in which two Mexicans, it, is alleged, were killed. It is pointed out by the supporters of the ant-lynching bill that the prosecution only give juridiction to Federal courts, but that it would go a long way in meeting the defect in American law in protecting aliens and that could be still amended as to give Federal jurisdiction in which an alien was concerned. PRESIDENT'S RECOMMENDATION The recommendation of the President to Congress that it make the Federal government able "to put an end to such crimes against civilization and punish those who sanction them," and that part of his address dealing with this situation as it grew the school and railroad strike is as follows: "One specific thing I must ask at your hands at the earliest possible moment. There is pending a bill to provide for the better protection of aliens and for the enforcement of the laws of the country in short, to create a jurisdiction for the Federal courts through which the national government will have appropriate power to protect aliens in the rights secured to them under treaties and to deal with crimes which affect our foreign relations. Congress on many previous occasions President Tyler, in his first annual message, advised Congress that inasmuch as the government is charged with the maintenance of peace and the preservation of amicable relations with the nations of the earth, it ought to possess without question the valuable and broad means of maintaining the one and preserving the other." SOUGHT BY OTHER PRESIDENTS "President Harrison asked the same best friend, Irwin, having encountered deep embarrassment which grew out of the lynching of eleven aliens in New Orleans in 1891. President McKinley, dealing with a like problem in 1899, asked the conferment upon Federal courts jurisdiction in that class of international cases where the ultimate responsibility of the case was that of President Roosevelt served a like request to Congress in 1906, and President Taft pointed out the defect in the present Federal jurisdiction when he made his inaugural address in 1909. He declared that "it puts our government in a pusillanimous position to make definite engagement to protect aliens and then engage in the engagement by an explanation that the duty to keep them is in States or cities not within our control. If we would promise, we must put ourselves in a position to perform our promise. We can not permit the possible failure of justice, due to local prejudice in any State or municipal government in a case that might be avoided if Federal jurisdiction were asserted by suitable legislation by Congress." "My renewal of this oft-made recommendation is impelled by a pitiful sense of Federal impotence to deal with the shocking crime at Herrin, which so recently shamed and harbored of human beings, wrought in madness, it is alleged that two aliens were murdered. This act adds to the outraged sense of American justice the humiliation which lies in the Federal government's confessed lack of authority to punish that unutterable crime." "Had it happened in any other land than our own, and the wrath of righteous justice were not effectively expressed, we should pitted the civilization that would tolerate and sorrow for the government unwilling to mote out just punishment." "I have felt the deep current of popular resentment that the Federal government has not sought to efface this blot from our national shield, that the Federal government has been tolerated and the failure of justice in Illinois. It is the regrettable truth that the Federal government can not act under the law. But the bestowal of the jurisdiction necessary to enable Federal courts to act appropriately will open the way to punish barbarity and the failure of justice in matters in whose name or for what purpose the insufferable outrage is committed." "It is deplorable that there are or can be American communities, where even there are citizens, not to speak of punishment, mob (Continued on Page Eight.) Big Convention Recorded As Most Successful In Years; Tidewater Extended Genuine Welcome To Notable Guests. The Twenty-Third Annual Session of the National Negro Business League, which came to a close in this city last Friday after a three day meeting is recorded as one of the most successful in the history of the League. Dr. Moton, president of the League, in his annual address-outlined a program of constructive recommendations for more systematic organization of the body and for expansion of the League's service to a more practical purpose. With the inauguration of the president's proposals the organization obtains a status not heretofore held. Besides the practical results accomplished at this session, the representative attendance at the affiliated group meetings resulted in an exchange of views on issues of their common interest, the ultimate value of which is inestimable. OPTIMISM PREVAILS It was truly an optimistic gathering. In spite of the threatening calamity to the nation's business on account of the coal and rail strike, in spite of many reverses sustained last year, in last year's national economic depression and in spite of America's shameful lynching record for the first six months of this year, no bitterness, no pessimism was in evidence anywhere. In response to address resouled with the spirit of optimism and hope, with a recounting of progress made and a determination to reach the summit of progress hoped for. The American Negro's wealth, education and the result of his economic struggle for the last half century were well represented at the convention. Mon upon whose achievements the present advanced-position of the race was established, the material intelligence and commercial progress were here and modestly recounted their early struggles and the final realization of their dreams. White men, confident that the better welfare of white and colored men will benefit the material enrichment of the whole American nation, were here and sat in counsel with colored men. REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING No one could look upon that gathering of men representing the race's capital and brains, interspersed with white men representing their people's blacks, and with American Negro for economic recognition and standard citizenship, without entertaining the most sanguine hopes and encouragement for the eventual solution of all problems afflicted by the habitation of both races in America. The so called race problem had but little opportunity for discussion at this meeting. Commercial and educational problems engaged the attention of the men. Indeed it appeared that the problem was the solution of economic problems will eliminate all other race issues. Men were here who hailed from states, the lynching record of which forms the greatest blot on American civilization, but none were heard to bemoan, none were heard to be ashamed, wealth, none cry-babied, but all beheld a vision of a brighter day in America. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS Among the distinguished visitors were the Lieutenant Governor西尔 West, who welcomed the League on behalf of the State; Hon. J. C. Napier, exregister of the Treasury; C. H.

HOSPITABLE RECEPTION Virginia extended to her guest a hospitable welcome. Her citizens white and colored, by words and acts assured the visitors of their warm welcome. She prepared to effort to make their stay comfortable and the visitors e- impressed gratification over the kindly reception. The general sessions were marked with capacity attendances. appalled by the Nation's Nerro Business League grinned for folk and the appearance of the not- able delegates on the streets and faces infused inspiration on all sides. The entire session was interspersed with private social features, but on Friday night after adjournment of the convention, a mammoth outing of the guests followed by the local committee in honor of the distinguished guests. It was a grand climax to the successful ending of the Twenty-Third Annual Session of the National Negro Business League. The guests were welcome, the hall room floor and all other features of entertainment were greatly enjoyed by the visitors to the delight of their host. Social features were enjoyed until a late hour when all retired, some to be reunited with their respective homes on the following day, and others to spend Saturday sightseeing. The general comfort of the visitors which was so well looked after by women ledged also contributed mueet to the success of the convention. And all left the city with praise of Virginia's hospitality. MANY EXHIBITS An added feature to the Business League Convention this year was the exhibits of colored manufacturers. The Waycross Casket Co., of Waycross, Ga., had on exhibition a half dozen of the finest caskets. This company managed the management of the Waycross Penny Savings Bank, and is said to be in a prosperous condition. The exhibit of the National Urban League was a source of education in health and sanitation. Local exhibitors were the W. L. Epps and Company, the F. L. Epps and Company, the Furniture Company, Southern Furniture and Repair Company. The furniture company's exhibits were very attractive. The Southern Furniture and Repair Company, of which Mr. H. F. Fonville is the head, exhibited furniture of their own production. The furniture company showed alongside the products of highly specialized factories. The exhibits of the Norfolk Journal and Guide and the Weltera Tooth Powder Manufacturing Company also came in for much praise. The tooth powder company produced a very creditable showing alongside the products of highly specialized factories. Exhibits of office appliances and other products of Negro make were also present. MECHANICS BANK LOSS HEAVY, AUDIT SHOWS Receivers File Report Claiming Failure By. $100,000. And Al- leging Misconduct Of Affairs. Richmond, Va.—J. Ran Tucker and James W. Gordon, receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank, which was recently closed by State Bank Ex- aminer F. Briggs Richardson, in a report filed in Chancery Court this week state that the affairs of the institution are in a chaotic condition. The report stated that many irregularities have been discovered and many more are likely to be disclosed. In their report the receivers disclosed in detail what they found in relation to the accounts of the Grand Lodge of Virginia Knights of Pythias of which the president of the bank, is grand chancellor; of which the cashier is grand keeper of records and seals; and of which R. E. Jefferson is grand master of the exchequer. The report goes on to state that it is the belief of the examiners that the president John Mitchell and the cashier, Albert V. Norrol, Jr., have handled the accounts of the said grand lodge and the Order of Calanthe in an unlawful manner and that it is their belief that the bank directors have been grossly negligent in not detecting and correcting the alleged malfeasance of those in active management of the institution. The receivers further stated that on the basis of a partial audit as completed the bank will fall by more than $100,000 to meet the claims of creditors and depositors. It is said that an "investigation by the October grand jury is likely to be asked for. BODY OF YOUNG WAR VETERAN LAID TO REST Young Norfolk Boy Who Died In The Service Of His Country Buried Monday.

Urge The Executive To Use The Influence Of His Party Leadership For Early Passage Of Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. (BY MOREIS BROWN) (Washington Correspondent Washington, D. C., Aug. 21. Notwithstanding that Tuesdays are set apart for cabinet meetings and but few engagements are, made at the White House on cabinet days, the President saw a group of nineteen college students at the National Negro Press Association on Tuesday, August 15. They urged him to use the influence of his party leadership in bringing about only passage of the anti-syndication bill, which is now pending in the Senate. STATUS OF BILL The anti-lynching bill was passed by the House of Representatives on January 26, and was immediately sent to the Senate where it was referred to the judiciary committee. After being sent to the Senate for months, during which time a subcommittee declared the House measure "absolutely unconstitutional," a favorable report was finally submitted three weeks ago by Senator Shortridge in California. The debate on the floor of the Senate is in next order. However, before it is taken up for consideration, by previous agreement, the soldier bonus and the ship subsidy bills must be disposed of. HOUSE PASSAGE FORCE Political exigency forced its early passage by the House of Representatives. The lower house is up for election in November and the Negro vote is such an important fact or in the congressional elections in debatable states that Republican members of the House demanded its immediate passage, the military base and safety their colored constituents. Those who dared oppose it, did so at the peril of their seats in Congress, as is evidenced by the primary defeats of Representatives Evan J. Jones, of the North Carolina House and Manuel Harrick, of the eighth district of Oklahoma. Of course, other Republicans—Barber, Curran and Noten of California, Brown and Clouse of Tennessee, French of Idaho; Herzey of Maine; Kelly of Chicago; Dayton of Delaware; Parker of New Jersey; Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma; Sinnott of Oregon; Slemp of Virginia, and Stafford of Wisconsin—voted against the bill. But in the states of some of these congressmen, the primary elections here were successful in the primaries but are sure to be defeated in November—for instance, Representative Clouse of the fourth Tennessee district, a Republican accident of 1920, whose defeat by Cordell Hull of Alabama will be national. National Committee, is already conceded Kelly of Michigan is a candidate for the Senate and it is very probable that he will remain at home after March 4, 1923, as the Negro vote, which is the deciding factor in Michigan politics is arrayed in that he will be given the Senator Townsend in the primary. Bascom Slemp, arch "illy-white" declined to make the race this year and will retire at the expiration of this Congress. SENATORS SEEK RE-ELECTION AT PUBLIC EXPENSE But the political exigency which made the early passage of the Dyer bill by the House necessary does not exist to such an extent in the Senate. Only thirty-four of the seats in the Senate, fifteen of which are held by Democratic candidates, is doubt that the Republicans will retain a majority in this body. And while the Negro vote is a source of worry to individual Senators in a few states, most of the Senators who are candidates for re-election look to other groups and special interests for their return to the Senate. The Senate is uncertain as to their renomination and re-election, the soldiers bonus and the ship subsidy bills will be passed before any other legislation is taken up. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL MUST WAIT. In the meantime, the anti-lynching bill, which concerns the inalienable right of guarantees for its protection, must wait. It may or may not be passed by this Congress. It is time for the campaign to start in a warm and there is much talk of a recess as soon as action is taken on the soldiers bonus bill. If it is not passed by this Congress, its fate will depend upon a compromise in the Senate, in which there may be a Democratic House and a reduced Republican majority in the Senate. WILL REGION-SSAT IN HOUSE Feeling that his further usefulness has been impaired by the expressed will of the Republic L. Knight, of the fourteenth district of that state, has announced his intention to resign his seat in the House of Representatives as soon as he can do with justice. Mr. Knight was a candidate in the Ohio primaries on August 5, for the Republican nomination for governor (Continued on page 11). VIRGINIA ICE CREAM CO.

Special To Journal and Guide Philadelphia, Pa. - Prominent citizens of Philadelphia are about to launch what is said will be the largest and strongest Nero / ITrust Company in the United States. The proposed Company outgrowth of the Citizens and Southern Banking Company, organized about two years ago by Major R. R. Wright former president of Georgia State College, and is said to have made progress during its two years of operation. Major Wright, president of the Southern Bank is the prime mover in the proposed Trust Company and also its president. The new institution is to be known as the Citizens Southern Bank and Trust Company. A meeting was recently held in Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor, and the best indications are that the company will formally open its doors to the public, in 1922, the sixtieth anniversary of Nero Freedom in the United States. Speakers were: H. S. McKinley, vice-president of the oldest bank in the United States, the bank of North America, capital and surplus $4,600, 000; McKinley, the bank of Philadel- phia, attorney and Philadelphia Manager / of the largest insurance company in the world, the Metrop- olitan Life Insurance Company that was founded in 1852 for insurance on over 1,800,000 Negro lives; Dr. W. F. Graham, pastor; Major R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens Southern Banking Co., Dr. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder and Wm. H Ridley, attorney. Strong Backing.

Dent of the Provident Life and Trust Co., Elmer G. Parsley of the banking house of Parsley Slys, and Co. The Public Ledger, Philadelphia's most influential morning paper is actively building a company it is said.

Church, at the request of M. J. E. Church—president Guston of the Metropolitan Company "Our Company collects over thirty-three million dollars from colored people. We feel we should give some of this back to aid them in their enterprises. Major Wright has the power to me. At the request of Mr. Guston the Bank of North America you made history, for the Bank of North America was organized when the financial fortunes of the American soldiers in the Revolutionary were at low ebb. We financed American interest and won. You must organize to finance your people Dr. Graham said "This is an epoch. Major Wright has done for the Negro what was never done before. We all know of white people helping our churches and our company to not pay much attention to our business. The best, the very best and biggest white bankers in this town and the leading insurance companies of this country at his back, Major Wright has a business foundation for the Company that no other Negro institution ever had, certainly in the North, and that means success to start with.

Crump in Church street, August 14. A member of the First Baptist church on Sunday school, she was dutiful and progressive.

Washington school, her ambition rose to the ideal of becoming more cultured and fitted for life's usefulness, accordingly she entered Nanseom Collegiate Institute. Being of an ambitious nature, her naked weakened her body and she yielded at last to the demands of death.

YOUNG___Seey & Asso., Editor SUBSCRIPTION PRICE One year, $2.00. Six months, $1.00. Three months, 65c. Payable in advance The death of Lord Northcliffe, Great Britian's greatest journalist, is a matter of world wide concern because he was a world figure. He believed off-color people were created for white people to rule or dominate. We place no bouquet on his grave because of that fact. They may talk all they want to about "Back to Africa" but most Afro-American Norfolkians are going to remain right here where there is plenty of labor at fair wages, and where they have stores and banks and churches and theatres, and other necessary things of their own, including the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, to make life worth while. REJECT FREE BIBLES The Jews, the Mohammedans and the Brahmins are supposed to know the spiritual law of their government, in their families, in their groups and in their Natons, and to pay the penalty for violating the law, ignorance not being considered as sufficient excuse for violation of it. It is different with Christian people, especially of Protestants. They are all supposed to be Christians and are held responsible by the spiritual law, whether they know and consider it to be so or otherwise. How many Christians have read the Bible and know the spiritual law to which the person and the Nation are held amenable? A vote on that question would startle the Christian Nations. Why? Because so few Christians have read the Bible and understand the spiritual law of their government. It is the business of the American Bible Society to distribute Bibles. It has translated the Bible into most known languages and many dialects. The Society recently offered to supply the members of the Congress of the Universal Negro Improvement Society, now in session in New York, with copies of the Bible, but by two-thirds vote the offer was declined. It was explained that the members already have Bibles and that the Bibles should "be sent to sections in the South and circulated among those obsessed with race and religious prejudices." Chaplin General Diggs, who is pastor of a Baptist church in Baltimore, had the following explanation to make: "I am a Christian and a pastor, but I agree with the action of this organization in refusing to accept any Bibles from the Bible Society. We are not atheists by any means, and we are not rejecting the Bible. What we are doing to-day is registering an emphatic protest against Christianity, as it is interpreted in this country." It is not necessary to reject Christianity to resent the policy of the Christian denominations, which is very general, in drawing the race and color line in their membership, fellowship, and communion, and this is the spirit in which the Garveyite convention acted, we believe, and it is not an unreasonable one. The white Christian Church must be judged by its works, and its works are the necessary outcome of its race and color line policy. The Negro Church denominations in the United States do not draw the race and color line in their membership, fellowship and communion, and in that essential phase of Christianity they are the real types of Christian brotherhood in the United States. The Garveyites show no disposition or compromise with the Christianity of unrighteousness. NEW LOVE THEORY To love and to be loved; to marry and to be given in marriage; to have a home and rear a family—this is the basic philosophy of Christianity, concretely it is also the basic of more litigation and action, both prose and poetry, than any other theme of the mystics that make up the sum of human hopes and aspirations. The attitude of the poets and songsters to the question and their treatment of it is very rarely different from that of the teachers profane and secular, who are all of the sentiment out of it therefore it to an economic question of humanity with Divine sanction, without contract commanded by the laws and sanctioned by the Church. The old way of regarding love of man has been greatly modified by the recent events and the passing of the stately dances and the close watch of parents upon the courtship and association of young people, and the inviolability of the marriage contract and the sacredness of the marriage relations. Young folks think they can manage their love affairs without parental censorship and can take care of themselves in their associations. It is the new way. Old Timers think it is the way to moral destruction. New and old teachers of morals are clashing all of the time. Miss Jane Burr, a poet authoress and socialist, who has been married and unmarried three times and is still in the marrying business, and who is now on a five year tour of the world, studying domestic relations and preaching freedom of women and children, whatever that may mean, speaking at Plymouth, England, has come to look upon "marriage as an almost unbearable relation." She says: "Changing mates as soon as love dies is the only cure for the ills of marriage. Furthermore, it is the only decent relationship. Many people try to make marriage tolerable by occasional lapses of faithfulness. I believe in absolute fidelity to the loved one as long as love lasts. "The average length of so-called undying love is about three years. That is because people marry for the thrill and get nothing. They should marry for peace, quiet and the lovely things of life. Then they'll get their thrills as well." "Two years ago the length of love," she said, "was eight years." Miss Burr may or may not have softening of the brain in a modified form. She belongs to the Guggenheim Copper King family, with plenty of money and to spare, with some literary reputation, and can afford to conduct herself and talk in an unusual way. But we must all admit that we lean to the theory that when people who no longer love and respect each other are forced to live together the sweetness of life is poisoned at its source. Young folks should therefore be sure they are made for each other and then get married and live happily forever after. Briefs and Spices A ton in the celler makes a jolly good fellow. One sure sign of approaching fall is straw hats are turning brown. The worst thing about "making hay while the sun shines" is the sun shines on rich and poor alike. Out in Ohio a political candidate named Corn was defeated. Those Ohioans are certainly particular about their brand. FAITH: The substance of things hoped for. Example given, a bald headed man applying hair-restorer vigorously. Liquor is made so much of an issue because the people who handle it lawfully can just issue so much. It might be worse. Suppose those imaginary titles invested their owners with some authority. A SOLUTION In days of old when brother Job, Was living in his power; Then sickness came and all his gold Diminished by the hour. His friends around his bedside came, And told him of his fate. These things to Job were downright tame, As history doth state. To those of us who lose our wealth, This story should appeal. With vanished wealth, and perfect health. In patience lies the human power. The men who weather storm and shower, Are those who study life. The Negro Business League, an exponent of thrift, organization and good buys, last week bade business depression many good byes. The Literary Digest's Bonus Poll iricates so far that the hand that rocks the cradle casts the deciding vote. Poverty makes cowards not criminals, nevertheless it carries a sentence of life at hard labor. The longest sentence, "I pronounce you man and wife," says a witch, makes them one. And it doesn't take long to find out which is the one. Gov.

NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE A PLEA FOR A BALANCED GOSPEL RATION "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone," John 8: 17. Editor Journal and Guide, Sir: The good and thoughtful citizens of Norfolk and surrounding towns endure, very heartily the efforts, that have been, and are being to the front by the Journal and Guide for the moral, intellectual and spiritual welfare of all of the people, the poor, hard-working and honest wage earner of our people. Like our friend, the editor, we do not favor dancing as insulled in by some of our people—nor do we favor dancing in any sense, but to continually agitate dancing when there are other sins of attention, seems to us as a waste of time, that God has given us to work for Him through helping our brother. Some of us have seemingly forgotten the way we do in overtaxing the poor, so that we may have automobiles and other luxuries that are because of our hard times, and yet we look for these luxuries from them. Don't forget that Christ had to call the tax gatherer Matthew, from his wicked job of collecting exacting taxes from the people to a job that was purer, and helpful to his fellow creatures. There are several big guns in the army, until Sunday to pick some sensational theme to talk on that day so that they can better gather in the shekels from the sweat of their brow, and just received by them the day before. Some of us lay claim to being spiritual leaders and in our quest for fame forget the real, teaching of Christ of having the poor with us always, but instead of treating them with respect, we use them for their pockets to secure an automobile for us to ride in, while they (the poor) can walk or do like we should, and catch a car or jitney. You can't blame them for giving the money for the luxury you require or even hiring a chauffeur for you, or the big gun, know it and yet you gladly take away from them the last piece of bread. Even if they thrust these luxuries on our preschers, they should do as Christ has done and as He has taught all of you leaders to His Hail parable of the Rich Young Man. He meant you, when he said to that young man of wealth and fame, to go sell all he had. Sell that automobile and give the proceeds to the poor of the church and community and then and not until then will you be what Christian implies, a follower of Christ. We have in our minds a happening of a short while ago, when the Sons of Norfolk had a committee to call on a certain pastor of a certain big church, relative to securing that church for its annual Memorial Service. The annual payment was preached about the matter, the organization's request was turned down because they could not guarantee some specific sum or payment for the church for that occasion. How low the mighty have fallen. These things serve their purpose in showing you the Master's work is being done by these so-called spiritual leaders. We shall watch them from now on, and we expect from them an unadulterated Gospel, and righteous living. If they can't give it, then get out and let God's work go on before He shall stop you in way you think not. Stop rotten pulpits by basking in the truth that "mould help them and buying automobiles and so on. And don't knock others, until you have cleaned yourself. Thinkers and workers for God in Norfolk are going to clean out some of these rotten pulpits of our section and right soon. We should read the Journal and Guide each week, for things that are helpful and inspiring. JAMES E. SMITH. Norfolk, Va. THE BUSINESS LEAGUE Editor Journal and Guide. Sir: I do not believe there is anything that could have been of more far reaching benefit to our city than the convention of the Negro Business Week. Representing as it did, the tangible, visible progress of people of our race throughout America, it had the opportunity that nothing else could possibly have had in showing the remarkable progress of our race. The vaudeville circuits have banned prohibition jokes, presumably as a means of improving the shows on the short circuits. FIRE VOLUNTEERS MADE FINE SHOWING Held Annual Session At Tarboro.

Huge banners were strung across the principal thoroughfares bearing the words "Welcome Firemen."

PASTOR CLOSES SERIES OF DANCE SERMONS PASTOR CLOSES SERIES OF DANCE SERMONS Feels Convinced That Norfolk Agrees With His Position On The Evil Influence It Impares. Rev. C. P. Madison closed his series of sermons on dancing at Second Calvary Baptist church last Sunday night. It is estimated that the attack was for a less than 8,000. The sermons were sensational in many respects, as the preacher confined his attacks to no particular degree of dancing or class of people but questioned the morals of all that dance. He stated on last Sunday night that he delivered assentments but the majority of people that heard him were convinced that his position was right. Dr. Madison said that he delivered the sermons upon a Divine inspiration that he had received to deliver them to Norfolk citizens. Many of the people that heard the attacks on dancing from the pastor state that they are waiting to be shown before they can decide what reform they have brought over the dance, they watch and see if the dance placards appear any less on the street. At any rate, the reform has been brought to Second Calvary, as that church has adopted a resolution to evoke a number of a thirty days who is found guilty of dancing. The minister will begin a new series this Sunday night, starting with the "Bootleger." This fellow he characterizes as Norfolk's next major sinner and if the preacher is as strong as he is, the pastor was on dancing, he will receive a pretty description from the pulit.

There are so many brands of them; stage tears, flapper tears and the like that the masculine heart seldom softens now at the sight of the feminine eye draped with sacred power, and this was clearly evidenced in Judge Harris' court. Wake County last week. The Judge had just sentenced a colored lad to sixty days on the road for slapping a Carolina belle when the boy's old mother who had listened went. "He's the only boy I got," she wailed. "Can you get along without him for thirty days," the Judge asked. The motherly tears and wails had worked, however, and before the woman could answer the Judge had reduced the boy's sentence to $10.00 and cost. The mother led her boy, Alex Gray from the court room.

NEHEMIAH'S PRAYER—Nehemiah I:1:11. GOLDEN TEXT. The supplication of a titanian availble much in its working. Jacob, 5:10. 1. The Grief of Nehemiah Vs. 1-4. The first condition of sympathy is knowledge, and the second is atten- tion to what we do know. Dr. Alex- ander Maclaren. He wrote that Nehemiah was so grieved at the desolation of the city and sepulchres of his fathers and that he was so jealous for the laws of the God of Judah, we can justly infer that he was brought up by priests, and that he was the history and law of the Jewish people. Doubtless because of his probity and ability, he was appar- ently at an early age appointed by Artexosus king of Geria, to the king of Israel, of the power to the king. Prof R. D. Wilson. Nehemiah was born in a foreign land, he had never been to Jerusalem yet he was deep into information of his people. He asked Hanani concerning the Jews of the captivity and about Jezus, and that the remnant were great affliction and re- in a foreign land, he had never been to Jerusalem, yet he was deeply interested in the welfare of his people. He asked for the Jews of the captivity and about Jerusalem. The news that the remnant were great affliction and reproach and took the walls were broken down and gave to Nehemiah his help. He wept mourned; and fasted and prayed before God. I regard Nehemiah as one of the greatest characters of the Old Testament. Considered in the light of achievement but few equalled him. As Michelangelo the master of visualized St. Peter's; as Sir Christopher Wren's fame rests with St. Paul's in London; as Solomon is more distinguished for the temple he erected than anything else, so the name of Nehemiah is indissolubly associated with the walls of Jerusalem.—New M. B. Whitton D. D. 2 The Prayer of Nehemiah.—Vs. 5-11. Make my prayer from the beginning to end a duet; let it ever have two voices—my brother's and mine.—George Matheson. This is a model prayer; it contains the elements of true prayer. (1) Adoration-v. 5; (2) Confession-vs. 6, 7. I and my father's house have statues of the saints, and I argue against thee, have not kept thy statues and ordinances. (3) Petition, vs. 8-10; (4) Intercession-vs. 11; Urgent personal request. Let thine car be attentive to the prayer of thy servant and to thy servants who serve thee, and to the proper thy servant and grant him mercy in the sight of the king. "Where ought we not to pray? When ought we not to pray? The ear of God. is never shut—the mercy sent is never remote. It is as near as the earth, and as accessible in the market as in the sanctuary. The arrow from the bow of faith pierces heaven in the twinkling of an eye, nor through the Mediator does the faintest ejaculation of faith never fell to the ground. Ought we not then to pray without ceasing? Ought we not to continue instant in prayer?—Canon Stowell. 11.11.11. The Success of Nehemiah. Neh. 11.11.11. "Having said my prayer lot me go out and do it."—Joseph Parker. Nehemiah was cup-bearer to Arta-arxes, king of Babylonia; and the cup-bearer appeared before the king with a sad countenance. Nehemiah told the king that he was sad because the city, the place of my father, had achieved high waste and the walls thereof are burned with fire. Chapter 22; 3. Artaarxes have Nehemiah permission to go and rebuild the city of Judah. The king gave his cup-bearer a letter to present to Asaph keeper of the king's forest, that he may give Nehemiah timber to make beams for the grates of the house, etc. Nehemiah was no longer lettered to given to the governors beyond the River. And Nehemiah came to Jerusalem. "Prayer begot Pentecost the first church and giving power to Christian effort. Prayer at Articho created the missionary impulse that sent missionaries and Barnabas, the first two missionaries to the island, undertaking was intense and continued prayer, seeking to know God's will and gain his blessing. Every great advance in spiritual work in the world has been marked as an era of increased prayer. Muller's work of England, the formation of the Sikh community, the founding of the wonderful China Inland Mission, the spread of missions, in Korea, have been times of awakening in the practice of prayer. It had been said that the church can advance only on its knees." **NGGSOGRAMS.** Nehemiah the great patriot, he was sincerely concerned about the welfare of his people and his country. Nothing begets sympathy for others like a knowledge of their needy condition. No sacrifice is too great for a man to make who has a desire to help his ass fortunate brethren. Praxy is the mightiest force beneath the earth; it has accomplished more than the world has ever dreamed of. The world needs more leaders with the "we spirit" I and my fathers have sinned."

Woman's Corner Conducted by MIRIAM DIXON NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Questions and Answers Dear Mrs. Dixon, I am from North Carolina has been living near my, my which is in Virginia, for about a year. A month or so ago he walked with me part of the way home, from Sunday school. He said he loved me the first time he ever saw me, and he said he would marry me in the future. I went to choir, practice, last week, he was there when I came out. A friend and I hurried, on ahead while he tried to make us wait. Did we do right? I am not having company and he knows it. I am sure he is well in his twenties. Dear Little Sister: Your letter was good all the way, if you did leave out the post mark and date. Your letter is all right and marriage is honorable, but you are too young even to talk about it with a man. If this fellow really loves you, he can wait and if it is your place, to tell him so, you can tell him so, for a brother. You write beautifully and I wish you to go to school a long, long time. Yet love will keep without ice or salt. Do not be annoyed in the way you say the law will protect you. Have it out right away and when you are a woman is time enough to weigh the heavy question of matrimony. Write me soon again, if you send stamped, addressed envelope I will write him. Yours, MIRIAM.

Don't get impatient, all letters will be published. BROWNIE EDITOR Brownie Stories AFRAID IN THE WOODS Linwood and Elenor lived with mother on a large farm. Their grandmother lived through the woods on the adjoining farm. They were very fond of their "Darma" and often spent the day playing outside her sunny kitchen door. Her cooky jar was seldom empty of golden brown cookies. One morning mother called the children early and told them to their work done quickly and they might spend the day with their grandmother. Happy little voices sung at their work and feet moved hastily until everything was cleared away, dishes washed and dried, milk things in applo pie order and with faces and feet shining from their recent visit home two hours to sun." Started mother, "and get here early." When the children reached the farm grandma had gone to town with eggs and chickens. They found Nannie, the young aunt, at home. The children read and soon they had the day to themselves, playing under the big trees at the back of the house. The shadows lengthened as they played, and before they realized it the sun was shining. "Oh Elenor," shouted Linwood, "we must hurry home." And catching up their hats, they hurried out into the road. When they came to the woods the little girl drew back, but Linwood was a trive little with and soothed her with trembling feet she started on. On and on they went until they came to a n grove of gnarled oaks. In the dim lights could be seen the knots and gnarls that appeared to be eyes on the ground, and two dead branches, one on either side, which appeared as long arms ready to gobble them up. Tears filled their eyes and Elenor cried loudly, "Oh! Linwood, those are the wicked fairs of the wood; they heard a familiar voice and soon their own daddy came in sight. "Oh Daddy," they cried together, "we saw the wicked fairies. One had a big mouth and two long arms, ready to gobble us up." "Show them to me, said the child, and we went up to each tree. Mr. Arnold made the children feel the knots and walk around the trees, while he held the lantern, until they were not afraid. Then they went home. The next day he took them into the wood, and then they took the trees again. After this they were never afraid of the friendly trees. THE OLD MAN Once there lived a little girl. Her name was Margaret. She was a poor little girl and had to be sent to the woods for berries. One day in the woods, she saw a house. Some Brownies lived in the house. Guess what they ate? They ate mushrooms. A little Brownie saw her and cried, "Oh, Brother, there is some one stealing our mushrooms." His brother ran to the window and looked out. I know that little girl. She is an earth Brownie, and very poor. I will make her a gift. So he changed himself into an old man and came out leaning upon a stick. "Please give me some berries," said the old man. "You may have all you want," answered the child. And he took a handful. Then he went behind a large tree and came out bringing a beautiful silver casket with a golden key. "Take this home, and open it." When Margaret reached home, her mother opened the casket and found food that never gave out. With the Brownies left, they lived. happy, ever after BESSIE Dear Mrs. Dixon: I am eighteen and keeping company with a man twenty-one years old. He wishes to marry one, but my parents object. Would it be right to marry without their consent. Dear Child: Be guided by your Think King (thinking). Take this problem with you to bed early one night. Think this problem with yourself. There is plenty of time. If the man wants you, let him wait and prove himself. In the meantime, go about with boys, and you may see some one you like better; he may also see someone you like better; he may also early enough for a special attachment. Have a good time. RECIPES With the cool days and school mothers should turn the their rattention to recipes for cookies and candy. Cheap store candy is not healthy. Here are two ways to make delicious cookies. Cook two cupfuls of molasses in a buttered iron kettle until it forms a hard ball in cold water. Turn out on a buttered plate. This may be made with more hardens, and tablespoonful of vinegar may be used in this candy. BUTTER TAFFY 2 cups brown sugar 6 tablespoonfuls water 2 tablespoonfuls butter % cup grated cocoanut or chopped nuts Cook sugar and water together, stirring til sugar dissolves. Let his sugar come to the boiling point, then butter and cook to the soft boil stage. Add cocoanut and chopped nuts. Stir until it thickens and pour quickly into buttered pans.

Smith) If the new infield of the White Lillies played this season the Lodge and its friends will be greatly disappointed. Under the careful eye of trainer "Sir John" Lillies hyun developed a faint, baseball-train SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922. this season. The boys are hitting and fielding like vets. So look out Sunbeams. Brown at second base for the Lillies is the real one of Kelvin Schoenke Tidewater, and with Foy, Brown and Stuart or Captain Alston the Lillies have without doubt the smoothest infield in amateur baseball in the state. With Old Kelly the shipping, this high infield should be heard from for the remainder of the season. Smith, Eure and Billings, a trio of outfielders the fans know to be claassy and older than Wildman and Thromton, manager James R. Smith has a team of youngsters who will surely make good on the diamond. Look at Snoodies, the old ones can't hit 'em, but the Smith youngsters will.

They suffered at the hands of the Winton Red Sox and the Portsmouth Royal Giants. The Red Sox were unable to advance upon the Beams once before this season and last week they were prepared to heap coals upon injuries. The Tar Heel boys made good pickings out of the peanut boys, eating 'em hot. This seems to one team that the Sunbeams are under pressure. They call 'em Tar Heels, but when they play the Sunbeams it appears that they are Tar Hauds as everything sticks that comes their way. On Monday the Sunbeams, met Portsmouth and took the game by the Suffolk boys at the foot of all other tallies for the week. Clarence (Bull) Merritt has been playing wonderful ball for the Peanuts since joining the team. Big for Berry, While Iron Man Newby has played with the Peanuts Monday, substituting at first was able to hold the Royals down to a no score game. Big Boy Jones pitched wonderful ball Tuesday but the Royals got next to him for 4 to 3 punishment. On Tuesday, the Beans in desperate grats, now sent in Slim Boiley against the Royals but he, too, succumbed to the onslaughts of the Portsmouth Boys and the Royals marked a tally of 2 to 9 against him. Friday the Beams set out against the Royals and the Beans in Suffolk pitching a wonderful game to save the week for his team, but *he old boy could not withstand the artillery of the Winton Red Sox and the game went to the Carolinians by 8 to 6.

Hawkins Calls Attention To Needs Of Race Groups Along Financial Lines. Wilmington, Del.-Mr. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, who is also treasurer of the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation, spoke to the citizens of this city and State on Wednesday evening, August 14th, Bethlehem Church along the lines, the future operation of the Industrial Corporation. The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation was recently organized by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Howard University, with Mr. Hawkins and other prominent men for the purpose of serving as a financial clearing house for race business enterprises and encouraging and strengthening businesses of the race group. NEED FOR SAVING Mr. Hawkins in his address called attention to the particular need for uniting the savings of all classes in the Negrovace that such savings may be used for the benefit of the whole group. He emphasized the need for just such a corporation as the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation, spoken of as the greatest things it could do to raise the standing of living and the economic status of our racial group. In referring directly to the Allied Industrial Finance Corporation, he stated: "The Allied Industrial Finance Corporation stands out prominent as the most practicable, feasible and hopeful basis as a cleaning agency of the greatest ability under the management and control of colored people. From a careful study of existing conditions in the financial world, it is found that of all great financial institutions doing the business of the country today representative groups of -individuals and smaller corporations make it possible to handle most easily and efficiently. There is no need of discounting the fact that though there may not be any "color" in business, the colored man finds his business very much affected by a reason of the fact that he is colored. Some of our best friends among the white people do not hesitate to tell us that our only salvation and our destiny in the economic effort among the Negroes themselves. If we can succeed in convincing our representative Negro men and women as individuals, our several traitional organizations, and even our various church organizations, of the virtue of such a movement as this and get their unstinted support and united effort, we would soon be able to attempt by our group, and there is no reason why this should not be done." CONGRESSMAN SPEAKS Former Congressman, Allen Benny, of New Jersey, who is president of the underwriting organization which has charge of the sale of the securitized mortgage corporation, who also spoke at the meeting said: "In the business support of one hundred million white people in this country, there are more than 30,000 banks, 2,300 Trust companies and 3-, 4-, and 5-merged among twelve million Negroes, there are less than one hundred banks, not one Trust company, and so far as I am able to ascertain, only three finance companies." If the Negro race is satisfied to have wood and drawers for all time hewers of wood and drawers of water, to have them dig ditches, lay railway tracks, and do manual labor, that is their right, but if the race wishes to take its place with all other races, it must do as they do; it must take its work with all other races in lines in which men of other races are engaged."

TELEPHONE 21525 KNIGHTS OF GIDEON HOLD GRAND SESSION KNIGHTS OF GIDEON HOLD GRAND SESSION Reports Show Order To Be In A Progressive Condition With Large Resources. The Supreme Order Knights of Gideon of America held its 25th Annual Session at Blackstone, Va., which was conceded b yall present to be the most harmonious and interesting of its kind held in the history of the organization. The Rev. Doctor J. J. Mainor, the veteran Supreme Commander of Norfolk, Va., presided. The usual devotional exercises of the Supreme Commander, which the Supreme Scribe, Sir F. E. Puryear, called the roll of Officers and delegates, and the big delegation got down to business. The report of the Board of the Supreme Lodge directors was read by Sir F. E. Puryear, the Supreme Scribe and submitted; the report not only showed a large increase in the membership of the Organization during the last year, but also every claim upon the Supreme Grand Lodge had been paid up to date with a substantial balance of funds on hand. After a unanimous vote of thanks to the Supreme Commander, the Supreme Scribe and the Board of Directors for the painstaking way in which the affairs of the Order had been conducted during the year the Supreme Lodge proceeded to the rout of the members. The address of the Supreme Commander was not only uplifting, but inspiring; every phase of the organization was touched upon, the juvenile department was especially stressed, for said he, "it is from this source the parent body must draw if it hopes to develop." The address of the Supreme Scribe was interspersed with the best methods of extending the borders of Gideon Knight-hood, to say the least this address was a real gem. Mrs. M. E. Miller, the Grand Supervising Mother of the Juvenile Department, and his assistants were given an opportunity to represent their department, which was done in a most creditable manner. One hundred and two Juvenile societies, and six Carter, and a West Virginia, carrying a wagon, only two deaths reported during the Grand Lodge year, means much for Mrs. Miller and her splendid corps of competent helmers. The people of Blackstone entertained the Grand Lodge royally, every home ( as far as the delegates were concerned) was headquarters. His Honor, the Mayor of the town, extended welcome in behalf of the citizens, who were members of the local committee and citizens generally in words of welcome to their homes. One of the outstanding features of this session was the movement put forth by the Supreme Commander to extend the borders and strengthen the ties with the members to expect every member of this delegation "to do their duty. I shall expect each of you to make yourself a committee of one to canvass this 'town and induce at least one person to join the Order." This movement resulted in twenty persons uniting with the "Forest Glazers." Selection of the Supreme Lodge Officers resulted in all the incumbents being retained in office. Mrs. Amelia J.

Y.—Joseph Thompson a well dressed colored man was booted in Newark, N. J., by judge Boettinger in Newark, N. J., a judge a few days ago is the man whom the authorities state they have been looking for more than fifteen years a second story worker and confidence man. The young man was trapped in a home in-law, Stuart A. Johnson, former attorney-General Robert H. McCarter. The prisoner told Judge Boettinger that he graduated from a school for criminals conducted in a Brooklyn pool room up to five years ago. He said that before beginning his job the criminal school he had graduated from a Brooklyn High School. In the criminal college there were regular, courses the prisoner said. The classes were conducted by some of the best known house-breakers and vice-prince men in the United States. For the course in housebreaking he said $125. Thompson said one of the things emphasized in the school was the importance of playing a lone hand, and added that it was this instruction that enabled him to steer clear of the authorities for so many years. In ten years he had robbed hundreds of houses. He said that his instruction also advised devoting one-half of one time to the education for honesty. Hundreds of persons would then go on the stand and swear that he was honest. Thompson, until his arrest last week had never been arrested.

YS BEST SOLUTION FOR RACE PROBLEM IN UNITED STATES IS HOME OWNERSHIP Southern White Student Gives This as His Views On Race Difficulties. Booker Washington's Advice "Property, Property," He Thinks The One Best Solution National Association of Colored Fairs Organized The first real halt in the progress of the American Negro since the Civil War, according to an article in the University of North Carolina News Letter, came in the decade between 1910 and 1920. In that period the ratio of Negro farm owners in North Carolina suffered a decrease of more than 3 percent. This the writer attributes to the Negroes were trayed into extravagance and went waste by the flush times of the war period." "The more primitive people are," he continues, "white or black, the less they save and invest in homes and farms and productive business. Gains in taxable wealth indicate substantial gains in real civilization, and the Negro race shows a steady march forward, continuing to compete in the middle mixties in every Southern State." In spite of the setback received during the war years, the writer asserts that the Negroes of North Carolina own today 1,160,000 acres of farm lands. In two counties in North Carolina the number of Negro farmers-outnumber the white. In one of these counties—Warren—they outnumber the white by 188 and in Hallahoma county there are thirty-four Negro farms. "Students of the Negro" the writer asserts, "are not yet properly aware of the fact that there are really two Negro problems instead of one. First, there are Negroes thinly scattered and they feel the steady upward pull of the surrounding superior mass; second, the Negroes massed in solid black areas, as in counties of the South, where the superior Negro feels the grounding inferior mass of the surrounding inferior mass. "As a rule the acquisition of prop- Will Avoid Conflicting Dates In Nearby Counties, Secure Better Class Of Exhibits and Promote General Interest Of Exhibitors. On Friday, August 18th, during the meeting of the National Negro Business League, a number of Colored Fair officials assembled in the office of the Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair of Norfolk, Attacks Theatre Building, and formed the National Association of Colored Fairs. Mr. J. A. Jackson, of the Billboard, New York City and Dr. J. H. Love, Colored State Fair, Raleigh, N. C., were instrumental in bringing about the organization after many months of study and survey of the Colored Associations throughout the country. Among the objects, the National Association will seek to stimulate a greater Community and National interest in the colored fairs, to protect them against any unscrubulous attraction or concession, to open up a better market for the obtain better commercial exhibits, to secure large agricultural and industrial exhibits, to foster and promote those exhibits that pertain to sanitation and child welfare and to systemize the operating of colored fairs so as to have them conform to more consecutive dates in order to obtain the best possible results, and to obtain exhibits from the large manufacturers and merchants. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION After forming a temporary organization and outlining the policy of the Association the permanent organization was formed and the following officers elected: Dr. R. H. Love. Loved State Fair, R. H. Nosecident; R. H. Cross, Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair, Norfolk, secretary-treasurer; J. A. Jackson, the Billboard, New York City, special representative.

Brancher, editor-in-chief, The Associated Negro Press. It was decided to hold the first annual meeting in January, 1928, and place to be determined later. The interest in the Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair continues to increase, and with the many exhibits already secured this part of the attractions and features promises to excel any ever put on in this section erty, strange as it may seem, is most rapid in white counties. Here the gains are most amazing and here it is that hard won property is best preserved and increased by succeeding generations. In the, black counties, the property amassed by a worthy Neighbors and sons and daughter, infected by the improvised humors and habits of the surrounding population. "The salvation of the Negroes in a black County lies in segregation—in a social quarantine area, as in Mound Bayou, for instance, a prosperous Negro city in a Mississippi delta county, where the blacks outnumber the whites, where the whites own the city and areathered the pick of the Negroes of Bolivar County. The banks, the stores, and the industries are all owned and operated by enterprising Negroes. It is the centre of colored aristocracy and protected from the downward surge of the masses in the delta country. The eastern civilization, such as it is, is the center of capital, and of "Jungleism" into civilization in terms of property ownership." The "Negro, the student believes, can attain his proper place in the world only through this struggle and competition for property. "The Negro as a race," he asserts, "will never stand "eally possessed of anything that is worthless, worthy of himself and by himself. Such progress as the race has made must be reckoned in property ownership." "The hope of the Negro lies in the ownership of homes and farms, in barns and bank balances, far more than in spelling books and ballot-boxes. Property ownership tethers a man to law and order better than all the courts. It is the endless, honest, honesty of the book, roost on a new perch every night, who disgraces his race and endangers the civilization of the South." on in full swing and the outlook is that the contest will be quite keen and spirited between the young ladies who have entered.

The Uniform Military Parade and contest on Thursday, the second of the Fair has caused the uniform companies to take on vigorous activities during their weekly drills and this event promises to introduce many attractive and novel movements in Military tactics.

"Moonshine" His Musical Comedy, Lives Up To Its Reputation As Having A Kick. It has been a long time since the theatre goers of Norfolk have enjoyed such a thrilling, throbbing and bubbling musical comedy as was staged at the Attucks Theatre this week under the auspices of Mr. Billy King. There is more real talent in Billy King's show than has been seen on a Norfolk stage in many moons. Then too, Billy is really a, a "King", as a comedian, and with the support of his assistant, Mr. Marshall Rodgers, who so defily played the part of the comedian, and who show for the money spent for the performance. But Billy did not stop there he has, surrounded himself with a group of the prettiest damsels and dammsels with artistic talent as well as beauty and a group of the damsels to best anywhere, which again proves that he is a "King". Right down the line—from the rise until the fall of the last curtain there was not a dull moment in the entire show. The musical numbers were top-notch, corded Marguerite Scott as "Mrs. Sallie Booker", and also for her musical prowess. Equally commendable are William Gunn, Genevieve Sterne, Charles A. Barry and Baby Cox. Misses Dinks, Thomas, Sallie Booker, Daisy Biazarro and Marie Warren as the Syncopated Steppers took the audience by storm. Another stellar feature of the program were numbers by the male quartet of the "pony that drew enchore after its director" and to the company. One who miss it will miss seeing the best musical company seen in these parts in as many two years.

C., Aug. 10—According to figures to be published soon by the U. S. Department of Commerce, the average span of life for older this country is 38.792, or about 38 years. This is an increase of three years during the last 10 years. For white men the average span is slightly more than 51 years, a difference of more than 10 years. While tween the life expectancy of white and colored men is a noticeable aspect of the situation is that during the last 20 years this gap has been constantly the average span of life for colored women is higher than that of white women. What this difference in life expectancy between white and colored men means may be judged by making an analysis of its cost in the one item alone of insurance, in one company or in one industry. Colored men based on their difference in life amounts to more than $100,000. It is estimated that the addition of one year of Life expectancy, to the race in this country would mean a net saving to the race of half a million a year, counting the money value alone. The equalization of living conditions brought about by the increasing thrift of the poor chief factor in raising the span of life. Another factor is undoubtedly the constantly increased hardiness of the race caused by having to struggle against greater odds. Forgot To Search His Pockets; Wife Didn't Baltimore, Md—From time immemorial wify has considered it her inalienable right to search. hubby's pockets and the only defence hubby has ever opposed the assumption he sure like to search his, pockets first. Adolphus Pugh, 1605 Mosher St., forgot to employ hubby's only defence against wify's search last Saturday night a week ago and went home with six dainty love letters which had been written to him by Miss Killian Jackson, 608 Pitcher street. When Mr. Pugh had gone to business the next day, Mrs. Pugh went about her usual household chores and of course searched his pockets. She never find the usual small change in her wallet, and those six dainties. Business picked up right there. First Mrs. Pugh went down to her husband's place of employment and told him a piece of her mind. Then she went over to the home of Miss and showed, her the letters and struck her on the head with a tin can. From there she went to the Northwestern Police Station and swore out a warrant for Miss Jackson. Justice was too slow for Mrs. Pugh. Justice was too slow for Mrs. Pugh. Heaving at the station house she again sprang at the threat of Miss Jackson and but for the interference of the officers, would have had vengeance right there. He was puzzling that to satisfy Mrs. Pugh, the law machinery would have to take on a little speed, advised Miss Jackson to leave Mr. Pugh alone or else none could guarantee her safety among things mortal. Miss Jackson thought as to herself and expressed a willingness and ever more after keep free and clear of Mrs Pugh's husband.

It first came to haunt Senator Harry S. New in the Indiana primaries when the Beveridge forces pointed to the record of Mr. Beveridge when he was in the United States Senate during the nomination of Mr. Crump to be collector of port at Charleston, S. C., was made. The Beveridge people wanted to know of Indiana Negroes whether they would prefer to have a man in the Senate who had voted to confirm the nomination of Mr. Crump nomination of Henry Lincoln Johnson. The answer was unequivocal. Now, it arises in Maryland, John W.
