DOPE MURDER TRIAL DISCLOSES HEAVY DRUG TRAFFIC IN CITY CITY EDITION VOL. XXII. NO. 37 EIGHT PAGES DOPE MUR MABIN DECLARES THAT WOMEN OF PARTY FRAMED HIM Score Of Dope Addicts Appear; As Witnesses In The Trial; Testimony Disclosed That Area Is A Drug Nest. PRISONER DEFENDED BY ABLE COUNSEL Declaring that his arrest and subsequent trial on a charge of murder growing out of his alleged connection with the death of two women, who died as a result of drinking a concoction of heroin and corn whiskey at a wild party in which a half dozen women participated at '813 Wide street on Saturday night, July 17th, was a result of a frame-up by Annie Johnson, the keeper of the house where the fatal party was held, for the purpose of getting even with him for an old grudge. Died out of the charge by a jury in Corporation Court, part 1, Friday of last week. CASE CREATED EXCITEMENT The case has caused no little excitement in the underworld. The tragic death of Mabel Drummond and Maggie Savage (alias "Baby Doll") and the dangerous stairs of a bottom, as nothing had done before in years. The arrest of Paul Wright and David Mabin, as the persons who provided the drugs and drinks for the party, the accusation by the survivors that Mabin was reeled in, and the furnished the drug, the absolving of Annie Johnson and Paul Wright from all blame in connection with the episode, their latter release from jail and the trial of Mabin last Friday. The world and from the character of the witnesses and spectators at the trial it appeared that the whole red district in the area of Queen street, Highland avenue and Wide street had gone on a holiday to witness the chapter in this seamy tragic episode. COURT ROOM JAMMED. The space for colored people in the court room was filled with underworld habitues. On the outside a morbidly curious curious and endower to get a glimpse of the proceedings. Time and again counsel for both sides retired to the corridors to seek fresh air. All of the witnesses were characters from the "bottom," they knew, and though it is a generally accepted fact that habit forming drugs are easily procurable in certain sections of the city, their testimony revealed in a startling degree how freely narcotic drugs seep into the underworld anti-narcotic laws notwithstanding. C O U L D N O T R E A D N O R W R I T E COULD NOT READ NOR WRITE Questioning by counsel disclosed that the defendant was unable to read and write, altho a young man often years old, accused of being by John C. Davis and Herbert Cochran. Commonwealth attorney Wilcox conducted the prosecution. The lawyers for the defense made an able fight to save the man from conviction. They contested every inch of the trial and never lost an opportunity to get a favorable impression for their client before the jury. At the con- clusion of the testimony attorney Davis, for more than an hour, plead the jury to acquit his client. The exam- nology was conducted by Lawyer Cochran, whose adroit leading of the defendant contributed heavily in his favor. Attorney Davis contended in his plea that a verdict of first degree murder should not be returned under the circums- stances, for even if the heroin he did not force them to use it. PRISONER TAKES STAND Taking the stand in his own defense, the prisoner stated that Annie Johnson, was responsible for his predicament in that she had framed him because of a grudge she harbored against him. He said that about two years ago on a Saturday night three men were in the act of setting a store on fire. He telephoned headquarters and a detachment of police appeared and arrested the men on the spot. One of the would-be robbers, he stated, was Annie Johnson's friend, and for this Annie had sworn to get even with him, avowing that when she did get him she would send him to the penitentiary. He stoutly denied ever having sold any member of the death party heroin or any sort of drug. All of the witnesses for the prosecution, survivors of the party, declared that the heroin was obtained from the prisoner for six dollars, each girl contributing her share to the purchase price. The man admitted that he had heroin or some drug, the nature of which he did not know, to his possession on the day of the tragedy, but maintained that he destroyed it. Attorney Cochran in question the witness asked how he came in possession of the drug. The prisoner answered, "A man came through Queen's Court where I lived and said to me, 'Here is some powder.' I took it and being unable to read the label I carried it to a drug store to find out what it was. The druggers did it to it he was. The store out of the store I met a man named Texas. I asked him what was the difference in heroin The above picture shows the big new swimming pool recently opened by the Atlanta City government for the use of colored citizens. Atlanta has also completed a splendid high school building for colored children. Many southern cities are learning that it is good business to provide adequate recreational and educational facilities for colored as well as white citizens. The outlay pays large dividends in loyal, contented, useful and law-abiding citizenship.—Photo by Underwood and Underwood, N. Y. and cocaine. He said that he did not know. Then I smashed the bottle against a house." Ques. "Where do you live?" Ans. "I live in Queen's Court." Ques. "How long have you been knowing Annie Johnson?" Ans. "Six or seven years. I knew that she had a grudge against me. She said I was funny about white folks, and that I was the cause of her friend getting in trouble about two years ago when I phoned headquarters about the men attempting to break into the store." Ques. "How do you know one of the men was Annie Johnson's friend?" Ans. "I have seen her with him many times." Ques. "What does Annie do for a living?" Ans. "Rent rooms and streetwalk." Ques. "What officer made the arrest of the three men?" Ans. "Officer Bell was in charge." Ques. "Have you ever been in Annie Johnson's house?" Ans. "No sin, not in my whole life." Ques. "Do you know Elsie Harris?" Ans. "Yes sir." Ques. "What is her standing?" Ques. "Greet Walker." Ques. "What you arrested?" Ans. "After the news of the deaths was published in the paper." Ques. "Do you ever use any dope or coke?" Ans. "Some sir." Ques. "Do you know Paul Wright?" Ans. "Yes sir." Ques. "What does he do for a living?" Ans. "Sell coke." Ques. "Do you ever sell any coke?" Ans. "No sir." COMMONWEALTH ATTORNEY QUESTIONS The Commonwealth Attorney here took up the examining of the witness and asked, "Were you ever in Annie Joanne Johnson?" Ans. "No sir; she asked me where was Paul Wright and I said I did not know." Ques. "Now, didn't she ask you to get her some dope?" Ans. "No sir." Ques. "Did she make the threat against you?" Here one of the jurors interrupted to inquire of the witness what color was the bottle of drugs he had had in his possession. Mabin said it was a little brown bottle. The case here recessed after which the defense asked a witness from the city jail to testify. The man, John Williams, was in the lock-up on DR. TRIGG HEADS COMMUNITY SERVICE Succeed Dr. Byrd As General Chairman Of The Local Organization. Dr. D. W. Byrd, who had been chairman of the Norfolk Community Health and Thrift Center since its organization about a year and a half ago tendered his resignation on August the 19th, effective on that date, and on Monday, August the 21st, the Executive Committee elected Dr. Trigg, chief of staff of the Health Clinic, as General Officer to succeed Dr. Byrd. Dr. Trigg has been actively identified with the Community Center work since its organization, has contributed a great deal to the accomplishments of the organization in both its health and social welfare work and the Executive Committee regard him as being the logical man with the view of supplementing the co-operation of local citizens with a closer association with the National Organization of Community Service, Incorporated, the Executive Committee on September 7th, adopted a constitution changing the name of the organization to the Norfolk Colored Community Service. This in no way changes the nature of the work that is being done, but merely indentifies the organization more closely with the national body. In order that the work of the two organizations might not be confused a resolution was adopted at this meeting discontinuing affiliation with the organization. At the meeting will give Mr. Dickson, the Community Service secretary, an opportunity to devote his full time to the work of the organization. At the next meeting of the committee vacancies will be filled upon completion of the meeting of the Board of Directors to not upon a number of important matters.

COLORED VOTERS WORRY LEADERS IN PIVOTAL STATES Administration's Race Policy Has Allenated From The Republican Camp Many Former Supporters. NEW JERSEY A CONCRETE EXAMPLE (BY. MORRIS BROWN) (Washington Correspondent.) Washington, D. C., Sept. 11.—A general survey of the political situation in the debatable states shows that the morale of the colored electorate is in such a state as to be a source of worry to the Republican campaign managers and that, the morale itself is in a dilemma as to the course to pursue at the polls in November. A contributing factor to the production of such a state of feeling was the failure of the President to appoint an appreciative, number of representative, outstanding colored Republicans to Federal offices by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. In accordance with Republican leaders who look upon this natural resentment and the determination to vote the Democratic ticket as a reprisal as the more bartering of votes for office. Nevertheless, holding that there is a principle involved—the right of Negroes to hold office requiring confirmation by the Senate in accordance with any other group of American citizens—colored voters are making an issue of this in the pivotal states. Included among the political blunders which have contributed to the creation of such an extremely bad case, is the testimony of the Treary V. Speelman as Register of the Treasury, an office which has customarily gone to a Nergo under Republican administration, and the establishment of a jim-crow, minor theological section in this office in lieu (Continued on Page Eight.) NORFOLK'S FIRST COLORED FAIR A SPLENDID EFFORT NORFOLK'S FIRST COLORED FAIR A SPLENDID EFFORT Thousands Attend The Big Event; Plenty Of Attractions On The Grounds; Educational Features Of Great Benefit. During this week Norfolk witnessed it's first colored fair, and from the size of the attendance the event struck a responsive note in the appreciation of the people in the city and nearby counties. The fair measured up to all it was advertised to be. Every attraction usually seen at County Fairs was on the grounds. The amusement fea- ture was a high order and the educational exhibits were thoroughly instructive. EXHIBIT HALL The exhibit hall was lined on either side with beautiful and intricately designed domestic art work, wood carvings, oil and water paintings, home made jams, jellies, pies, sweet desserts, home garden products, dairy products, and many other exhibits that presented an education in Domestic Science. At the end of this hall were the exhibits of the State Board of Health, Norfolk County Health Board and Norfolk City Health Department. These exhibits afforded instructions and sanitation that will redound manifold to the needs of the community. Through pictures, illustrations and miniature out-houses for the farms and country districts, were shown the proper way to improve health conditions in the country. Malarial prevention and treatment, prevention and treatment of communicable diseases, diet and care of babies and children, every phase of health care that might be applied in the home, were demonstrated through these health exhibits. At each booth was a demonstrator who patiently explained every feature of how the lessons taught may be carried into the home. **ART SESSION** In the art section was a 100 year counterpane put on exhibition by Mrs. S. Shaw, says that it was a herdion from her mother, Mrs. J. M. Brown, of Chiccosa street, exhibited ingeniously contrived crocheted haskets, cups, saucers and spoons. Artistically carved and stained animals were exhibited by Mr. George B. Clarke, of Berkley. A novel quilt in squares made by Mrs. L. Howes was a great attraction in the hall, and was really a curio. This marvelous piece of work was done by Mr. Joseph Gilmore. The Housewives League exhibited an array of art work, millinery and fresh vegetables. In the livestock section were high bred fowl, swing and sheep. GREAT MIDWAY The great midway was dotted with beautifully decorated concessionary boots. Many of these were occupied by local churches and charitable organizations. As the white fair closed only four days before the opening of colored event many of the big amusement attractions remained on the ground. This was a very advantageous feature, and the public. Some of the most expensive attractions in the country were offered those attending the fair. Merry-Go-Round, Loop the Loop, Scenic Railway and hundred others were enjoyed by the great crowds. The racing features were the cleanest in the game. Horse after horse trotted around the beautiful race course. Racing conditions were ideal and high class sportsters took advantage of it. The crowds poured into the fair gates. The road leading to the ground was lined with autos. The fireworks in all their pyrotechnic display made a thrilling scene. FAIR A SUCCESS The Excelsior Band was at its best and rendered concerts twice daily. There was something at the fair to entertain, educate and to keep everybody happy the whole time. Norfolk Fair Grounds comprise a lot of more than fifty acres, easily accessible by train. They are also an ideal place for fairs. These fifty acres were alive during the week with every kind of amusement. The event was a complete success. The Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair will now become institutional with Norfolk; Much of the credit for the success of Norfolk's Fair Grounds will be attributed to the capable and efficient mount of Mr. R. H. Cross, who worked conscientiously on the plans and arrangements of the big event. Dr. A. L. Pasey is president of the Fair Association; Mr. William Kemp, vice president and Mr. C. A. Palmer, secretary. Department Directors: Messrs. Benjamin Attis, Joseph W. H. Hinton, Mrs. R. H. Hinton, Assistant Department Directors: Mrs. J. E. Casper, Mrs. M. B. Loe, Mrs. R. G. Hodges, Mrs. S. L. Whidbee. The fair organization worked smoothly and efficiently, which added much to the entertainment of the visitors. The Knights of Pythias, uniform ranch groupe through the city and competitive drill at the fair ground was an attractive event. Their ostentatious uniforms combined with the multi-color decorations at the grounds presented a unique feature. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Dr. G.

William Newby, colored, 14 years old, of 145 Church street, Suffolk, brought to the city last week and lodged in the jail sai a United States prisoner on a charge of robbing the mails. The Ind is being hold under $500 bond and up until last Tuesday he had not secured a bondsman. The Ind is being held on the sidewalk near the postoffice and was arrested by the police when in the act of opening it. He says that his father is the keeper of a fish market on Main street, Suffolk. He has been seen for the November term of the Federal Court. It is said that Newby is the youngest Federal prisoner ever confined in the Norfolk jail. SUES MAN WHO CALLED HIM A CONJURER Macon, Ga.—The courts here will be called to settle a matter that has rent Pleasant Hill, Macon's colored section in twain. Norman Rakestraw is suing Hayes Peterson for $500. Rakestraw sets forth 'in his petition that his reputation has been willfully and wantonly ruined by Peterson, be certain occasion, among auld upon certain occasion, among auld upon his friends and acquaintances accuse him (Rakestraw) of spreading "Dingle Dust" and tooting a conjure bag. He further avers in the petition that because of Hayes' accusations his neighbors and friends in the community have ostracized and shunned him as a spreader of "Dingle Dust," that he and hate him as one endowed with occult powers, nites possessing the accredited powers, but somehow the neighbors make sure to steer clear of Rakestraw since Hayes' told it on him. DIES IN CHURCH AT COMMUNION SERVICE Sunday, September 10th, during the Communion service at the Jerusalem Baptist church, Mr. Richard Taylor, of 40th street, Lambert's Point, died. Mr. Taylor was a member of Jerusalem Baptist church for many years, after transferring his wife to the Muscatine Baptist church, in Logan Park. He was the father of fifteen children of which twelve are living. His funeral was held Wednesday at 2 p.m. Rev. A. Hobbs, officiated. By request the quartett sang a selection.

Albert Johnson will address an Educational Mass Meeting at Emanuel A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Sunday Night, September 17th, at 8 o'clock. The public is cordially invited. REV. L. L. BERRY, D. D. Pastor. 5,169 Students Enrolled In Colored Schools; Lott Carey Has Largest Number; City's Total One-Third Colored. HIGH SCHOOL STARTS WITH PART TIME CLASSES The enrollment in the colored schools of the city this year totals 5,169 students, or about one-third of the total enrollment of 16,000. This number is very likely to increase to 6,000 when all the children of school age have entered. The crowding in the colored schools is an issue that is great in the white, there being 25 times as classes in the white schools and 70 in the colored. These figures also show that the city of Norfolk with two-thirds less colored school children than white also has two-thirds less housing need for accommodating its racial population than it has for its white. Lott Carey Leads The greatest crowd in the colored schools is at Lott Carey. The enrollment is distributed as follows: Lott Carey, 1,167; John T. West, 1,061; Armstrong, 795; Abraham Lin-wood, 451; Price, 451; Smallwood, 378; Booker T. Washington, 542; Smythe, 184. The crowding in the colored schools has reached such an alarming state that parents are considering means of finding school facilities in other cities for their children. Many such parents live in other towns send their children to school to sit to those relatives for the winter order that they might attend school there. Several such instances have occurred this term, and others are anticipating such a move if the crowding keeps their young ones out of school too large a part of the time. Part time classes have extended to the High School this term. This, Norfolk citizens consider a serious condition. High school students cannot be expected to finish the prescribed courses in four years attending school only part time. The school is developing plans for remedying the situation, but it is not known how soon these plans will materialize. FAMOUS EVANGELIST AT QUEEN ST. CHURCH Rev. C. P.

Bowling Seeks The People's Suggestions As To What Constitutes City's Major Sins. A secret ballot will be taken at the First Baptist church this Sunday morning on, "What Are Norfolk's Greatest Sins." Each person attending the service will be handed a ballot with the following s enumerated: Immorality, bootlegging, gambling, dancing, card playing, theatre going, money madness, financial fraud, disdain for church discipline, lack of home training, non-support of churches, lying, stealing. PERSONS TO MARK BALLOTS Each person will be allowed eight votes. He will, therefore, put a cross mark (x) beside the eight s he regards as Norfolk's greatest. In case he should be included in the list submitted, he may add that sin to the list and count it as one out of his possible eight votes. Also, anyone wishing to vote by mail can do so by writing down the eight s he thinks should be preached about, signing his name for publication, but to show sincerity to the pastor, Rev. Richard H. Bruning, 302 E. Charlotte street, Norfolk Va. Beginning with the following Sunday morning, the pastor has announced, he will preach a series of sermons on the subject.

V. Moorman. Officers were elected and a new name adopted. The club known now as the Aeolian Athletic Club, is in no respects connected or affiliated with the Attucks Athletic Club, but practically all of the same players will be in the lineup this year. OFFICERS ELECTED The following officers were elected: Jos. V. Moorman, manager; Reginald E. Jordan, assistant manager; Geo. J. Jackson, captain; B. Henderson, Willie Hardy, captain; H. A. Johnson, Jr., secretary and press agent; Leigh McQueen, assistant secretary; John McQueen, treasurer; Robt. Woodley, assistant treasurer. The quorum of competent officers the sub-rectors to make long strides to success. POSSIBLE LINEUP There has been a lostof some players this year, but it is assumed that their vacancies will be filled to the equal strength of last year. With the addition of four newest teams in the history of Norfolk's independent football battles should develop. Local fans will have a rare treat this season and the faithful adherents of the former Attacks All-Stars may look forward to a better team to play against. George Jackson, the stalwart and formidable full back of last year, who was made captain, with his previous varsity training on Union University's team promises to put the Aeolians on a college team basis. He is the linch this year are: Joe Moorman, for four years a member and captain of the local high school team; "Bull" Merrize, the hard hitting back field man; R. E. Jordan, Robt. Woodley, "Tenderfoot", Wilkins, John McQueen, Hendricks, Patty Whitehurst, and W. A. Johnson, of Shaw University. From a nucleus of this kind to work around, the Aeolians expect to live up to what its name implies, a man who will sweep before them like a battle. Aeolians any team that meets them upon the gridiron to do battle.

In the first game "Big Boy" Jones held the Royals helpless until the ninth inning when the Portsmouth boys found him and hit safely three times, sewing up the game. Jones twirled a wicked game and kept the Royals guessing until they really began big success with the Suffolk Sunbeams running after the ball. Merit, Suffolk fielder, robbed L. Briggs, of the Giants, out of a three base hit, when he made a beautiful running catch off Briggs' long drive. "Big Boy" Jones would probably have won his game he had not tried to play it all by himself, as he was never in any danger before that fatal ninth. Score 4 tol, favor Royals. In the second game, "Slim Bailey" was awarded for the sound "bailey" while "Steel Arm" Potts sat in the dugout wanting to relieve him should the winning of the game become endangered. It was too much Bailey for the Royals, however. Scott of the Sunbeams, was at the bat five times and got five hits. He had a perfect time in baseball. Walker held her ball and Berry held down the first ask. "Iron Man Newby" played a wonderful game out in centerfield. "Bull" Merritt, traveled from left to centerfield, getting everything that came his way and that that did not come his way. "Fake" Jordan, on third, was all that was \exquired of him. Bickford got 'em from third and served another in the infield. Bibbins, on second, played all of the ball he wanted to Score, 3 to 1, favor Suffolk. In the third game, "Steel Arm" Potts, of the Sunbeams and Bullock, of Portsmouth waged a pitching duel with Portsmouth for 14 inning win. Portsmouth lad winning the honors. And his little catcher, Al. Smith, "Ted," caught so many balls out of the dirt that the fans called him Ground Hog. Mr. Briggs, Portsmouth's hairy little boy, couldn't connect with Potts' delivery.

Fully three hundred fans assembled to see the were rewarded with witnessing, one the teams lock horns for the honors and they were rewarded for one of the prettiest games seen in amateur baseball for some time. It was an airtight game with 11 innings played and neither team crossing the home plate. It was one of the few if not the only scoreless game played by any two teams in amateur baseball this season. The player on team tried his best to hang up a score for his team but the opposite players were just as determined that the winning should not be on the opposite side. 500 Agents Wanted to enroll the names of new members and to help bring down the high cost of living. 40 Per Cent Paid to Agents!.

The death of Dr. Robert H. Boyd, who built up the Baptist Publication House, at Nashville, removes from among us one of the most constructive workers the race has produced. He had small and untoward beginnings but did big things in a big way. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE extends a hearty welcome to the school teachers who have finished the vacation days and returned to the school room. They are among the most useful members of the citizenship, as to them is confined largely the shaping of the characters and thought of the men and women of the future, as "the child is father to the man" always. --- According to most of the experts, unless the United States changes its attitude and helps to save the people of Europe they will perish. The experts overlook the fact that the United States is in a bad storm itself and while not in danger of perishing, is having the time of its life, with social civil and economic discontent eating at its vitals. "GUN TOTING" We are getting away from the liquor traffic and the demoralizing influences of it; we think we are, in spite of the criminal activities of the liquor profiters and their bootlegging allies, and all decent people rejoice that it is even so and will give thanks when it has passed entirely. We shall have a better, stronger and healthier citizenship when the traffic has been entirely wiped out. The general health, industry and thrift of the people will be greater. We are sure of that. "Gun Toting," carrying concealed weapons, has been the twin companion of the liquor traffic in demoralizing the public morals and menacing life and property. The legal committee of the American Bar Association found that there have been 85,000 "unlawful homicides" in the past ten years, probably 90 per cent of them being "committed by the use of the pistol," and that that "the pistol serves no useful purpose of the community today." What then? The responsible daily newspapers of the Nation are demanding that the manufacture and sale of small arms shall be prohibited by Federal enactment. If they are not manufactured they cannot be purchased and used, and those now in existence can gradually be rounded up and destroyed. The public welfare requires such legislation, and when law-makers become convinced of this they will not be slow in enacting it. Destroy the liquor traffic and the carrying of concealed weapons and security of life and property will be enhanced a thousand-fold. UNION AND NON-UNION LABOR The sweeping injunction against the striking railway workers, which enjoins them from interfering with the movement of trains, intimidation of non-union workers or destruction of life and property, secured by Attorney General Daugherty, with contention for the open shop, has provoked such a storm as has not convulsed the country since the memorable railroad strike in the administration of President Cleveland. The situation was grave enough before the injunction was secured. In putting the question to such a drastic test the Harding Administration emphasized the gravity of the situation but without showing the necessary backbone, afterwards to go through with the business of enforcing the conditions of the injunction. It matters very little that the coal strike has been settled if the railroad strike remains unsettled. Without transportation we shall freeze a lot with plenty of coal at the mouth of the coal pits. It is a weak Government indeed which cannot save the Nation from such a calamity as a coal shortage that now inevitably impends. It is the combination of the greed and stubbornness of organized capitalists and laborers against the consumers of their products, who have to pay the cost of the whole business in the last analysis, any how. It is of general interest to note that the labor unions claim a membership of 4,000,000 while the non-immigrant workers number 16,988,860. say, 21,000,000 wage-earners in a total population of 100,000,000. The non-union workers outnumber the union workers four to one, while the consumers outnumber both by five to one. Without taking sides with organized capital or organized labor, and without favoring Government ownership of public service corporations and utilities, the most stupid should be able to see that the 100,000,000 consumers of the country must be protected from the greed and stubbornness of organized capital and organized labor, which threatens their lives and comfort by throttling production and transportation of necessary foodstuffs and fuel. AFRICAN TROOPS ON THE RHINE There is another chorus of protest on the part of distinguished Europeans against the French policy of maintaining contingents of her African troops, for police duty, on the German Rhino. The Germans themselves protested before and during the World War against the policy of employing African and Asiatic troops to fight European troops in Europe. It was regarded as dangerous business, as it gave the off-color troopers an opportunity to study the white man at close range, learning thereby among other things that the white man, "he is also human," and educating them in the deadly methods of modern warfare which they might in some future crisis use against the white races. But the exigencies of war know no color and race and few of the humanities, the Germans themselves in the inhuman methods employed by them during the war showing more unscrupulousness than their brethren. A. G. Gardiner, former editor of the London News, in a special article in the New York World, sums up the "white wall" against the employment of French African troops on the German Rhine, as follows: "Sooner or later, the importation of black troops must be faced. It is a challenge to the white civilization of Europe. We did not fight the great war to arm Africa against Europe. It is monstrous that four years after the war black soldiers are still entrenched in the heart of Europe." Those who sow must reap. Germany and Great Britain have perpetrated outrages upon the African people and, perpetrate them today, more monstrous than any which the French African troops have been accused of perpetrating upon the Germans on the Rhine. Mr. Gardiner's wail is in line with the world-wide policy of the white races of Europe and America to draw the race and color line, for purposes of perpetual subjugation and exploitation of the African and Asiatic peoples. It is the most ominous propaganda that Christian civilization has undertaken, and is bound to end in fearful calamity for the European and American peoples. The French have pursued the wise policy that a black Frenchman is just as much a Frenchman as a white Frenchman, and on that account they are regarded by the Africans as the best and most preferable of the Christian Powers. DOMESTIC STORMS It is the purpose of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE to "catch the manners living as they rise" among us. They are not always pleasant manners, but they are part of the news of the day, which it is necessary to chronicle, if we would present a complete picture. What a great orator may say in one of our churches, what a great convention of the race may do in Norfolk, is no more a part of the current news than what a poor devil may do in an alley of a criminal nature or what an angry wife may do to a rival when they meet face to face. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE has been giving some thrilling stories of domestic storms, with plenty of fight in them, and frenzied acts of unmarried couples who have agreed to disagree, all which led them to the police courts and from thence, often, to the higher courts and the penitentiary or the gallows. Blasted or tarnished lives are usually the outcome of such domestic storms and disagreements of sweethearts. We deplore the fact that we have a seamy life of life and that it necessarily becomes a part of the news a newspaper must give its readers; but we call attention to the fact that the white newspapers are full of such unlawful and tragic doings by white persons. It is difficult to get away from Shakespeare's statement, that "one touch of Nature makes the whole world kin," and the kindred statement by the same magician that "the trouble is in ourselves, Horatio, and not in our stars." And, then, too, it is necessary to present the contrasts in human acts, so that those who would be good may learn from the troubles of those who are bad, whether they want to be so or not, such useful lessons as will help them to keep out of like troubles. Domestic storms and lovers' quarrels are as old as human chroniclers have recorded them for us; perhaps they are older, and perhaps we shall always have them, as inseparable from the mortal condition of life; but we shall always deplore them and use them as examples by contrast as a warning to those who want to live LENGTH OF YEARS It is not a small matter that the average life of the Negro people, according to the findings of the Federal Census Bureau, is ten years shorter than that of the average white person. It is interesting to note, however, that this ten year less is three years less than it was ten years ago. Why should the average white life reach 51 and the average black life only 38 years? On the face of it there appears no apparent reason, but when the question is probed it will easily be found that there are many and contributing reasons. No one familiar with the housing conditions and the sanitation and street paving and sewerage systems provided by the builders and regulated by the health boards of the cities for the Negro citizens, needs to be told why the mortality among the Negro people is greater than among the white people, who have in their worst districts better conditions of housing and sanitation than we have in our best. The mortality among our infants is still more appalling than among our adults. The fault is not always with the people; it is often the fault of house-builders and city health departments, which neither regulate such tenement buildings as they should, nor provide for the sanitation necessary to minimize flit and disease. It is necessary that our thoughtful men and women take hold of this important matter and by organization and persistent propaganda, among themselves and the health authorities, work for better housing and sanitation and paving and lighting and new age in the districts where we live. We should have health promotion societies in every community. It is a good work for our women to lead in, if necessary, if the men should fail to do so, and to co-operate with them if they take hold of the work bravely. BUSINESS LEAGUE EXTENSION WORK It is of general interest that the twenty-third annual meeting of the National Negro Business League was largely attended, that the general interest seemed unabated, and that, besides the constructive work the League has accomplished, it will in future have a more distinctively constructive program and work to it through the year. "Thrift, industry and service" appeared to be the keynote of the gathering, and that keynote, carried into the industrial and business life of the race, will do much to place it upon a basis of economic independence, the absence of which works so disastrously in our efforts for social and civil justice. It is not a safe matter to undertake to wrong and persecute a rich race or group; the poor group can be victimized by selfish law makers and vicious public opinion undeterred by lawful authority. Our race group is victimized everywhere because of our poverty and consequent weakness. President Moton outlined with much eloquence and clearness, a public campaign for boosting business, as follows: The creation of three bureaus, of Business, of Education and Co-operation, and of Health. It is thought good for business groups such as bankers, undertakers, and the like, to organize in their special business lines, as the lawyer and press groups are organized, to co-operate with and simplify the work of the League, with the creation of a fund to be operated by a proper directorate to assist in developing and sustaining our individual business ventures, the raising of a sufficient fund for this purpose to be obtained by issue of stock. Encouragement of business course for the training of dependable help and managers is also a valuable feature. The statistical showing of the business growth among us was of the most encouraging character. With the new and larger and more helpful program of usefulness the League itself should take on a new lease of life, and accomplish vastly more in the next twenty years than it has accomplished in the past twenty, and in doing so it would do a very great and useful work, all the easier because such a good foundation has been laid. James M. Harrison, Norfolk's versatile lawyer-poet-humorist has registered in a new field. Mr. Harrison has just published a cooking good song entitled "Jos Mah Soul Mate and Mah Lady Friend." The JOURNAL AND GUIDE is no critic of music—jazz, ragtime, classic or otherwise, but we venture the opinion that Mr. Harrison's production will easily take rank with some of the output that is setting Broadway crazy. COOKE-ALLEN WEDDING Dr. F. C. Cooke and Miss Mabel Matri- nity, Thursday, Sept. 14, 19 The wedding took place in the home of Dr. and Mrs. S. P. Cooke, the father of the groom officiating. The party spent the day in Norfolk, leaving on the night train for their home in Elizabeth City, N. C. Mrs. Allen is a native of Florida. She is an accomplished musician, having just completed a post course in music at the New England Conference Center for five years; she was at the head of the music department of Roxanne Institute, Elizabeth City, Dr. Cooke is a popular young dentist, a graduate of Howard University, also prominent in his church, other organizations and business NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Briefs and Spices (BY B. J. C.) Owing to predictions that cold weather will set in next month, September Morns have lost lots of their paragraphical value. It's not surprising that the average person complains about the hot weather. It proves that they're human. The English language is misleading; the other day a man's wife had a rug on the line for him to beat and "he beat it." Nobody seems to know why the names of some of our prominent men appear on the list as receiving Knight-boots from His Royal Highness. Well, it's just because. What happened to "Tut" Jackson in Brooklyn suggests that this thing of trying to find someone who can stand before Willis more than three rounds is limited to one person. Guess who? HOPELESS I find it very interesting. When I have a little cash. To hunt up problems on investing— Than spend it all on something rash. These problems show how dollars sunk away. But when I finish I'm rather nettled, Because the folks with whom I deal, Have bills that have not yet been settled; And it's hard to tell just how they feel. My limited knowledge of finance, Puts me in a serious situation; I am forced to play a game of chance; So I'll take a short vacation. TO A TON OF COAL Oh, ton of coal securely stowed in celler dark and drear. Thy blackness sparkles, makes me crave to know. What endless joys are stacked up in your glow; To gaze upon the gives me pleasure, rich and rare. I wonder from what depths you came far below. Where long you slept with no outlet to show, What wonderous wealth the earth has yet in store, With one last look; I proudly locked the cellar door. Letters From The People SOME ADVICE TO FLOCKS AND SHEPHERDS Editor Journal and Guide Journal and submit Sir, I am not a reader of your paper. I spend most of my leisure time Sunday mornings; reading the Journal and Guide and I enjoy reading the interesting news, learning of the development of my self, and of the people who have patiently lead us, for without their leadership we would have been in gross darkness unto this day. I wish to state here, however, that this is no time for the men on the wall throwing stones at each other if we were to ourselves, when the wolfs come we will not be able to fight him. We will therefore be destroyed and our lambs devoured. Now, Mr. "Constant Reader," our duty to first observe the time and our Creator's will and to call more workmen unto the work, to the end that we may have blessings and profit it more in the future than in the past. I will further say to every flock and our Creator to be thankful in the things that we do and even more so in the things we say. Now, if there is a flock that wishes to donate a gift to it's pastor, let others not worry. If the watchman should err, let other watchmen call him in counsel and reason with him. Let us not publish our thoughts to the crowd or of that of a lot that get right myself, then I can constrain my brother. REPLIES TO DEACONS Editor Journal and Guide, Truth is stranger than fiction, "was a great help in proving than in the answer to my letter published in the Journal and Guide, August 26th, by the Deacon Board of Second Calvary Baptist Church. It seems very hard that men whom we have selected as our representative go so far as to quote excerpts from Gospel of Our Dear Savor and thereby pervert the truth in upholding deeds done to the detriment of themselves and brethren. The annotating of the foot of Jesus in our way gives or teaches any reason for our foolhardiness in invloving upon men luxuries, and especially upon the ministers of Christ's Gospel. On the contrary, the woman's act showed conclusively the necessity of a life of meekness and care in all of us. A willingness to serve Him and not a puffed up haughtiness. Remember, the time has come when we are to let our light shine to draw men to Christ, and not depend upon the gift of oratory. The poor can not be continually preached to of a free Gospel and every Sunday, a rally or a tax for the pastor's auto, or to send him to the Holy Land, because of his trip out of a salary of $3,600 per year, plus rentals and dividends from various business enterprises. There are poor working men, who re- cive less, than $1,800 a year and pay for all of their luxuries and trips out of that of hard earned money. Of course, we cannot place the whole blame on the ministers when we are foolish enough to give them anything they ask and deceive our own hearts by saying that we are sorry that we cannot give more. I doubt very much the approval of 2,300 persons to the building of some of them, which was over the board the kitchens and on the docks, for automobiles and trips to foreign lands to men in whose hands we have placed our welfare. We can excuse our deacon boards, however, as we have the power of selecting them. The Bible says that, deacons are to be men of good character, and there is good report of men who will tax the poor to fatten the rich. Moreover, we have enough business men to conduct our business affairs and preachers should stick to preaching the Gospel. If you are our spiritful leaders, lead not in words, wisdom, or kindness but in actions that speak louder than words. Other people have seen the necessity of a clean pulpit, free from the world's commerce, and in this letter, the same is demanded. There is no need of refusing, for God sees all and very soon He will clean out His Temples. This letter is not written for a purpose, as he aspires to helping cleaning out of the Temples and having an undefiled Gospel built on deeds, not words, and a fight for Christianity, not Churchianity; religion for seven days, not hypocrisy. Remember the words of our Lord as warnings: "By their works you shall deceive them." "Take heed that no man deceive you." "Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." For all of the people all of the time, JAMES E. SMITH, Norfolk, Va.

Monument To African Who Died For Science London, England—A table is to be placed in the ward of a London hospital where an African hero, Chief Mandombi, allowed himself to be used for experimental treatment which resulted in locating the germ which causes the dreaded sleeping sickness. Attacked by sleeping sickness in the Congo in 1890 Mandombi suggested the English in England sent to England and experimented upon in order that some effective cure might be found for the disease. For four months specimens of Mandombi's blood were taken every four hours until at last the germ was identified. The strain had been too much, however, and Mandombi died as truly a martyr to the cause of human progress as any of those who have sacrificed their lives that their fellows might have an increased chance for health and happiness. The memory of such men should be perpetuated and that their names should be known, for they have contributed to human advancement, the dearest thing given to them and when they give up their lives they come as near the divine as ever a man does. Tries To Hold Auto From over Niagara Nigaria Falls, N. Y—Harry Andrew, of Buffalo, came near breaking a record here Sunday afternoon, when he grabbed one of the rear wheels of an automobile which was slipping over the brink at the Falls, and tried to pull it back.

Andrew saw the impending catastrophe and attempted to save the woman's life. A. M. E. Conference Elects Delegates Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News And Roanoke Represented In Delegation.

THE BIG COLORED FAIR WAS GREAT BENEFIT TO CITY ---Headquarters for good "used" furniture 626 Church St.—between Bute and Queen --- Norfolk, Va.—The Norfolk Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair, opened Wednesday morning, September 18th, at the Norfolk Fair Ground, with an attendance of several hundred thousand people. It was the first annual for Norfolk colored people and the interest manifested in the event by the cities of Virginia and adjoining states was evidenced by the vast attendance for the four days and nights it was in the progress. The management had previous assurances of a good attendance, but the enormous crowd surpassed anything they had hoped for. The largest crowd of colored people ever seen in the city, in one week, was here in attendance at the big event. Notfork was virtually on a holiday during fair week. Tourists, vacant hotels, folk from surrounding counties, cities and towns, poured into the city and there seemed not to have been a single hour during the four days in which new arrivals were not entering the city. OVERWHELMING SUCCESS Every feature of Norfolk's First Annual Colored Fair was overwhelmingly a success, and the widespread interest in the event shown by people in adjacent territory is surely an omen of progress. The opening feature was a mammoth parade participated in only by colored automobile owners. A line of between two and three hundred gorgeously decorated autos moved slowly through the principal streets of the city and thence to the fair ground. The parade was reviewed by thousands arrayed on both sides of the street for every block of the line of march. At the fair ground prizes awarded the owners of the best dressed cars. Every attraction usually seen at county fairs was at the Norfolk Colored Fair. BIG AMUSEMENT FEATURES THE AMUSEMENT FEATURES BIG AMUSEMENT FAIR closed just four days prior, the fair was a special event and many of the exhibitors remained on the grounds. The amusement features consisted of Comedy Circuses, with all the attractions seen in the big tent shows; Merry-Goodies; the musical play of fireworks, band concerts parade, of the Knights of Pythias and Patriachs, competitive drill of the Pythians, great baby pageant and hundreds of features that kept the visitors busy from the moment they entered the gates until the close at night. Hundreds of educational attractions and exhibits were assembled at the fair. The exhibit hall was filled with various industrial, agricultural and horticultural articles produced and made by colored people from different sections of the country. Domestic animals were housed in thousands of articles produced by the housewife, domestic science schools and demonstrators were arrayed in the exhibit hall. In the Livestock department were numerous herds of cattle, sheep, horses and mules among which were some of Virginia and North Carolina's breed prize. In industry Carolina's breed prize exhibited the various breeds of goose, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, pigeons and other pet stock. FARMERS' EXHIBIT The farmers of Norfolk and Princess Anne Counties exhibited large quantities of agricultural products and farm implements, illustrating the diversity of the lands, the panels and modern implements. In the Arts and Crafts section were seen various paintings in oil and water colors and pastel; pottery, decorated wood and photography. Flowers and plants were on exhibition in a large variety. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1922 The merchant's exhibit was a genuine food show in itself. Thousands of samples of foodstuff were given away by local and national distributors. Horse racing, harness and running, was a daily feature and new records were made by some of Virginia, Carolina and Maryland's fast horses. The nightly display of fireworks, band concerts and other events placed the big event alongside of some of the country's veteran expositions. In fact, there was nothing on the grounds to indicate that it was Norfolk's first, except the advertising literature. It bore every aspect of a long established enterprise and Industrial Fair forms another worthy link in the great chain of colored fairs rapidly encroaching the country. CREDIT T.. MANAGEMENT The citizens of the town are outspoken in their praise of the management for having successfully staged the event. No greater educational exhibition has ever been brought to Norfolk colored people. Indeed the great progress made by the race in arts, sciences, agriculture, industry, home-keeping and practically every other line of human endeavor, was visible taught to the public. Amusement and mirth was thoroughly sandwiched among education and inspiration. From the opening on Wednesday morning to the close on Saturday night every hour was a thrill.

Lynchburg, Va. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th THE MESSAGE OF MALACHI- Malschi 3:4:3. GOLDEN TEXT.—Return unto me and I will return unto you, as jahwah of hosts, Mal. 317. 1. Malachi And His Book—Mal. 316. 2. Malachi" means "My Messenger." "The eight sections of the book of Malachi contain many things of perennial interest and validity: their truth is applicable, their music is still musical, to ourselves. But their chief significance is historical. They illustrate prophecy's development within the forces the demands of the Deuteronomic law under which his people had lived since the return from exile. But he traces all of these to some spiritual principle, to some essential allegory of the character of Israel's God, which he neglected by his contemporaries in their performances of the law. That is why we may entitle this book "Prophecy within the Law."—George Adam Smith. 3. Messenger of the Covenant—the prophet is sent to prepare the peoples' heart for the coming of Christ. He is surely and suddenly coming. He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver and gold. He shall judge and punish them for the Lord's commanded the day of the swearer, the adulterer, the oppressor cannot stand, for the Lord shall be a swift witness against them. Read Exod. 22:24; Deut. 27:19. To those who believe in God who know man thought and prepares his own way, it will not be hard to believe that this element in prophecy is, indeed, a coming event casting its shadow before in stretching out of human goods home and desire and coming of the Unspeakable Gift in the fulness of time, were parts of the same process. During the last week of expectation God took many an elect soul up the watch-tower human hands in hope and desire, and the coming of the Unspeakable Gift in the fulness of time were puts to the test in success. During the world's morning twilight of expectation God took many an elect soul up the watch-tower with him, that he and they might look together at the kindling East window, and see what is inside that they saw upon the sky. And when Christ came, it was not hard for him to find in many psalms and prophecies things concerning himself."—(J. M. E. Ross). 2. Money and the Service of God.—Mul. 3:17-12. 3. Jesus clergyman once said, "If a man is thoroughly Christian, the nerve that runs from his brain to his wallet will be just as much Christianized as the one that runs from his brain to his tongue. This is a fact—and a man opens his mouth to speak, and he speaks, and every body knows that he keeps the mouth of his wallet with the tightness of a clam." Giving money is just is necessary in the worship and service of God as praying, and preaching are. It is true that we cannot serve God and man, but we can serve God with mammon. Holding back tithes and offering and apostasy were one and the same thing with God. Refuse to give money or give very little, and you rob God. Cursed shall be those who shall be locked their tithes, and blessed shall be locked their tithes into the store-house of God. Ralph S. Gushman in "The New Christian," calls our attention to the remarkable increase of the per-capita wealth of the United States. In 1867 the per-capita wealth (man, woman and child) was $682. 97 cents in 1872 and $717. 97 cents during this period of unparalleled prosperity the giving of Protestant Christians remained practically stationary. The Protestant average for all phases of church work was 2.7 cents per day. The Baptists of the North gave 3.3 cents; the Methodists of the South gave 5.6 cents; and the Seventh Day Adventists who practice tithing, 11. 6 cents per day. The Bible Principles of Giving. (1) Our gifts to men must have God as their primary objects and thought Prov. 3:9; 19:17. (2) Giving should Matt. 13:16; Rom. 12:8. (3) Giving should Exod. 15:2; Rom. 2:9. (4) Giving systematically. 1 Cor. 16:2. (5) Give according to our ability. Deut. 16:17; 2 Cor. 8:12. (6) Giving seriously. 16:25; 26:5. Exel. 11:13; 20:35; 2 Cor. 9:6. 3 God's Book of Remembrance.—Mal. 3:13-13. The deed divine. Is written in characters of gold that never shall grow old, But through all ages Burn and shine."—The Golden Legend, "—Longfellow. Wicked and the righteous contrasted—worshipping words of the wicked are stout against Jehovah, to the service of God was useless and without profit. The proud and those who are built up in wickedness are happy and prosperous, that is the coexclusion which the righteous have reached. A book of remembrance was written before him, for them the righteous shall be as jewels in the treasure house of God. Jehovah shall spare them as a man sparach his own son. The end of the wicked and the righteous contrasted. Read Ps. 73. In the judgment, in eternity the proud and the righteous shall be stable, Jehovah shall neither root nor branch. But the righteous and those who fear Jehovah shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings, etc. God's goodness hath been great to thee; Let never day nor night unallow- led pass, But remember what the Lord huth done—Shakespeare. BRIGGSOGRAMS. Every Christian should give at least one tenth of his substance to God. Great possessions means great stewardship. The great givers are benefactors of mankind. God holds first mortgage on our time, talent, and treasure. Woman's Corner Conducted by MIRIAM DIXON Dear Miriam: What a happy woman you must be, continually solving the troubles of others. I am sure you have but a few of your own. At last I am here in your town, which I find to be a square dealing to apply it to interest your husband. Buy good magazines and papers, read articles and discuss what you peep with the family. Above all things show your boys and girls that their earning power is increased by learning. Wholesome food, sleep and exercise in the open are necessary for good school work. Pears will be plentiful in a few days, make lots of preserves. Let the men run around, you get厉害 of a wet, nature always pays for excesses. Men must work and women must weep, but do not weep tears of regret. Extensive cultivation spells success. The woman always pays. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 10, 1922 Dear Mrs. Dixon: I would like to hear your views on this topic of giving pastors automobiles. I am a steady member of the church and am trying to do the right thing. —MARTHA Martha, I do not believe in a general tax for such gifts, but I do believe in allowing the members to give according as they wish. Your money it your money, you wish to give it to help purchase a car for your minister it is no care of the city. —MIRIAM. Norfolk, Va., Sept. 9, 1922 Dear Mrs. Dixon: My husband is not interested in education, and does nothing to encourage the children to remain in school. What would you advise? —ANXIOUS MOTHER Dear Little Mother: Virginia has given her for compulsory education up to fourteen years. This will give you time to show them the value of education and if you manage rightly they will be thirsty for more knowledge. At the same time you must try the remedy. Without these the case is hopeless. Your letter was good write again. —MIRIAM. Conducted By MIRIAM DIXON The Brownies' vacation is over, Hurrah for the first days of school, We art through with the fields of clover, And ready for study and the golden rule. Our club is a great inspiration, It will keep us from much that is bad. In doing a good deed so often, Will make our school teachers quite glad.

Davis, presiding Elder of the Portsmouth district, held a Sunday School Chauquette for two days, Aug. 6th, and 6th at South Hill, Va. Several pastors, Superinendents of Sunday schools, and a large number of teaching scholars and visitors, attended all of the sessions to listen to the lectures together with blackboard demonstrations, which were filled with wholesome information and presented in such a way that all who were there, could understand. The meeting was an inspiring indication that the leaders in our Sunday schools were anxious for the teaching scholars to realize that it takes much thought, and exchanging of ideas to cope with the problems of the growing boy and girl of today. Dr. Davis is to be commended for this advanced movement in his work, and we trust that he will continue to offer these opportunities in training so that they who are teaching and inspired to make themselves factors for the kind of service, God desires them to do.

Dear Miriam: What a happy woman you must be, continually solving the troubles of others, am sure you have but a few of your friends. At last I am here in your town, which I find to be a square dealing place. A person can get a little of everything here, good or bad. I pref er work and have been successful so far. I find in Norfolk attractive homes and miserable wives, plenty automobiles, and beautiful children. Why are there so many grass widows there? How many girls dressing, dressing, silk hats, straight hairs and a powdered face to hold a follow? If so, what does it take to keep a husband? Please kindly say it loud so the women in Norfolk will hear you, and am praying that every man will when he was there. SUNSHINE. (Age twenty-three) Dear Sunshine: I have my cares but I pile 'em on a shoulder stronger than mine, and leave them there. He can fix all things. In Norfolk, as in all places, you find what you look for, and get what you work for. Honest work is best every time. The never been able to see how a woman with healthy, jolly folk and good health, can be miserable and when you throw in an attractive home and an automobile, she is a little nutty if she cannot find some comfort. Life is what you make it. Many the grass widows are here from other places, our share is not above the average. When I was a girl silk hose, straight hair and powder were not quite so fashionable as they are now, but the girls liked to make up just a little bit tried. Just is hard to attract the boyfriend. Take your own, you must fix up to get any fellow worth having (but you do not have to bemean yourself.) Holding a husband (if he is any good) requires genuine love, common sense and intelligence. Love furnishes us and encourages our happiness; common sense tells one what to do and intelligence shows how Brown BREE Conducted By M All Brownite's letters that do not appear this week will appear next.

As I understand it, the League was started for the purpose of inspiring colored people in business. Don't you think something should be done to raise a fund to help good colored business over a period of depression. Yes, Dr. Moton is planning to do that by giving. Please tell me why our business is spoken of apart from others of the same kind? They say we cannot get the patronage and many other things. Well, son, the greatest drawback Negro business has is lack of sufficient capital. Our young folk have no one able to own the business to invest good money in their business, thus cocoa Brownie must plod to get a foothold which consumes the best part of his strength. Mother I do not understand what you mean, but how can this be overcome. You know I am planning a business career. The can be overcome by the older folk enameled with small surplus. In time we will be able to give our boys and girls a start. You cannot make money in business without an investment.

From then until November 30th, when the Annual Football Classic of the yeur is played at the American League Park between Howard and Lincoln Universities, the fans will eagerly watch the progress of these two teams. ‘The Howard-Lincoin game of No- vember 30th is the greatest event in football among colored schools and col- leges and every game played by each team previous to that game is con- sidered only a practice for the an- nual classic.

When the squads of either of these universities are in the making, the silent, but nevertheless, paramount object in the minds of coach and play- ers is, “Beat Lincoln.” ‘The game will be played in Wash- ington this year and will be called at 10:30 am.” ‘The early hour of the game is occasioned by the engagement of Georgetown and George Washing- ton Universities at the American League Park on the same date.

Bomb In Coal For Pace Comnanv New York City,—Considerable ex- citement was caused Saturday, in the manufacturing district of New York, by the finding of a bomh in the coul delivered to the manufacturing plant of the Pace Phonograph Corporation, makers of Black Swan Records at Meadow and Creek street, Long Is- land City, The bomb was of the shrapnel type, heavily loaded and capped, capable of blowing up the entire plant. The fireman discovered the bomb after it was in his shovel and just as he was about to plunge it info the furnace. A moment later and there would have been an explos- jon that would have wrecked the boil- ers and damaged the plant, propably killing or injuring some of ‘the twen- ty-five employees working there. Investigation was made by the Bomb Squad cf the Police Depact- ment and the Firé Department. Just where the bomb catite from could not be asertained as the Pace Company uses nearly thirty’ tons of coal month und deliveries from two cool companies are beings made almost dnily, and each had just delivered several tons of coal. It is presumed that the bomb was put inte the coal by someone connect: ed with the coal miners strike. The officials of the company were alarmed nt first, lest it were the work of com: petitors. who were seeking to destroy their business in Black Swan records. The first vessel to make the return voyage neross the Pacific from the East Indies to Mexico was steered by ‘a Negro pilot in 1565. Out of every tiitidred colored citi- zons called during the war, 36 were certified for service and 64’ wore re- jected, exempted or discharged; whereas, out of every bundred white jealled, 25 were certified for service and 76 rejected, 8 ATLANTIC CITY § # Make reservations through # me for rooms.
