C., Dec—During the recent Virginia Bar Examinations held on December 12th and 18th at Richmond, Va., David Henry Edwards, a professor of Howard University School of Law, set a mark for other students by passing the Virginia State Bar Examinations in the middle of his senior year.

OR THIS IS BETTER THE JOURNAL AND GUIDE FIVE MONTHS and The Negro Year Book, Is Indispensable To Negro Students NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1922 Acts As His Own Lawyer; Upsets Two Year Sentence PERRY W. HOWARD REFUTES CHARGES OF N. A. A. C. P. Admits His Disdain For Leaders Of The Organization, But Denies That He Influenced Adversely The Dyer Bill. BRANDS ASSOCIATION A DEMOCRATIC ALLY (NORRIS BROWN) (Washington Correspondent) Washington, D. C.—Replying to the charge by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that he contributed to the defeat of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, Perry W. Howard, special assistant to the Attorney General, emphatically denies the charge and brands it as a falsehood, and then makes the counter-charge that Mr. Johnson and others "used the people's money lavishly uner the assurance that this bill would pass, and, upon its failure, he seeks a treat." CONTROVERSY OVER LETTER This controversy grew out of a letter written by Mr. Howard to former Senator T. Coleman du Pont, of Delaware, in whose defeat by Thomas F. Bayard, the late election, the National Association for Colored People and the National Association of Colored People took an important part, even importing to Wilmington Ferdinand Q. Morton, Negro Democratic leader of New York City, to speak. The letter M. Howard asserted that "the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is purely a Negro Democratic organization and has always been found on the side of the Democrats in the final analysis." But the particular part, which James Weldon Johnson would have written, is as follows: "Now, may I call attention to the fact that whatever legislation Aged Colored Man Sentenced To Two Years Beats Case On Own Pleadings. Greensboro, N. C.—One of the most unusual incidents within the memory of lawyers, judges and court attaches of this city occurred here last week when Foster Benton, n. Neighbor of the court, and jury in the Superior Court and acted as his own lawyer, on an appeal from a two year sentence on the roads imposed by a lower court for theft of a bag of chickens, and won an accrual after numerous witnesses given damaging testimony against him. Benton and two other men, Sam Barnes and Jap Hayes, were given sentences of two years and eighteen months, respectively in municipal court some time ago for stealing an incestuous bag. Benton an incestuous and men an incapable while other two men accepted their sentences without protest. DEFENDED HIMSELF Last week his case was called in Superior Court, but the defendant was poor and unable to retain counsel for his defense. He went into court and staked his chances on his opponent to convince the jury of his innocence. He fought the conviction. He cross examined every witness that testified against him and did it with ability. Benton was given a bad reputation by the police and admitted that he had twice served time on the road for fighting. After the evidence was all in he did not adhere to the sentence. The judge delivered his charge to the twelve men and a short white later they returned with a verdict of "not guilty." And this Foster Benton, a colored man who had been handed a sentence of two years in the Municipal Court had won freedom in the Superior Court with himself the defendant and the counsel for the defense. It was a great moment for Benton when jury announced his verdict. The climate man term was reached when Judge Harding addressed the Negro who had been declared innocent: "Stand up, don't go yet," said the judge. "I want to talk to you. You ought to be a great deal better now, for you have been acquitted of this crime. You are not guilty. You are victed. I don't know whether you realize it or not, but this is a most remarkable occurrence. Here you are, a Negro, a poor man unable to have a lawyer to represent you in this case. You are not liable alone, and over here are 12 white men who have ended to what you have had to say and they have acquitted you. Hereafter, if you over hear of any man saying that the courts of this state don't give a Negro a trial trial you just turn around and go to jail. During the progress of the trial Judge W. F. Harding had to tap on or whatever else is done for the, colored people of this country ought certainly be done and done promptly, but I insist that none of it ought to be done through or by reason of the National Association of Colored People or the Advancement of Colored People or of its sympathizers." OBJECTS TO SELF-EXPLOTATION In his reply, made public today, Mr. Howard goes minutely into the activities of Mr. Johnson in behalf of the anti-lynching bill and expresses the opinion that the bill "would have fared far better if there had been less violence, less bunglesome tactics." He also tells us the importance and of co-operation with others on the part of Mr. Johnson and states that their efforts "were resented by him because it was interfering with his one aim, and that is to ex-port the importance and keep in the limelight." He explains that he has "no word of censure for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People per se," but "I do object to these autocrats exploiting themselves at the expense of association and seeking to belittle those who do not pay homage to them." No APOLOGY TO MAKE "I have no apology to make," he says, "for standing by the men of my party who have always stood for those things which will benefit our group. What I have done and am trying to do has been at a sacrifice, but I challenge any leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Women, anything that he has done without reward or hope of reward in fabulous salaries." After criticizing the public bureau of the association for spending $6,000 in advertising with The New York Times, the Evening Star, Washington, D. C.; the Atlanta Constitution and several other big white dailies, whatever with the colored weekdays, which have liberally supported all efforts for the passage of an anti-lynching bill and carried the news releases of the association without charge, Mr. Howard concludes by averring that the only difference between Jim Johnson and himself on the passage of an anti-lynching bill was that he and Dubols being the most highly paid charity workers whom he knows—while he was growing poorer in trying to help in its passage. his desk for order as considerable laughter was provoked in the manner in which Benton was cross-examining his witnesses. "If there's a God in heaven he'll knock you down from that seat," stated Benton when Sam Barnes, a Negro, sentenced to 18 years for roadways was testifying against him. Pointing his finger at the witness on the stand, Benton would say, "Answer my question." And when B. J. Jeffreys, policeman, was on the stand, Benton counted the chickens and scored in many of them. Barnes and Hayes both took the stand in Superior Court yesterday afternoon and testified that they saw Benton with a bag of chickens. Hayes even testified that he opened the bag counted the chickens and that he saw Benton try to displace of the birds. But Benton took the stand and testified, that he was innocent and that the two had "framed up" on him. Upon cross-examination he stood up well, and told the solicitor that he was on the roads for fighting. He said that was about 15 years ago.

Finley Wilson, editor of the Washington Eagle and G. E. R. Elks, was in the city a few days this week on business in connection with his fraternal position. Wilson been visiting all of the cities of Tidewater recently and addressing local Elks in interest of the lodge. He was a welcome visitor at the Journal and Guide office, where he breezed in in his same old familiar "fellowship." Editor Wilson was around the office only a few minutes, but in that time was able to give the entire force a hearty hand shake and engage in a "rapid fire" interview on a score of interesting subjects. Following a modest when speaking of himself, for the I. B. P. O. E. of W., he was unable to see any but big things. The alfalfa acreage of Michigan increased over 200,000 acres this year following the alfalfa harvest the past winter by agricultural extension workers in that State, according to reports to the United States Department of Agriculture. RACE QUESTION IN DEBATE OUSTING REP. HARRISON RACE QUESTION IN DEBATE OUSTING REP. HARRISON Massachusetts Representative Assails Virginia Constitution As A: Disfranchising Instrument Of Party Control. "G. O. P., LILY WHITE," VIRGINIAN RETORTS Washington, D. C., Dec.—By a vote of 201 to 99, the House of Representatives on Friday last decided that Judge Thomas W. Harrison, Democrat, was not elected a member of the congressional district of Virginia, captain John Paul, Republican, was the duly elected representative and is entitled to a seat in this Congress. DISRACHISEMENT DISCUSSED Representative Dallinger, Republican, of Massachusetts, the chairman of the committee to which the case was referred, was in charge of the resolution. He began the debate by an analysis of the Virginia Constitution of 1825, which he asserted, was not constituted by Virginia. He showed that by the adoption of this constitution the election machinery of the state was put absolutely and for all time to come in the control of the Democratic party. In the course of his remarks, he referred to disfranchisement, declaring that the constitution of Virginia, which accords to him, Glass, was designed to disfranchise four-fifths of the colored voters of the State, and which, as a matter of fact, has also disfranchised a large part of the white population. It is interesting to note that in 1920 there was a total vote cast for 10 Congressmen, 207, while in the State of Minnesota, also having 10 Congressmen; there was a total vote of 747,070." VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS LYL WHITE In reply to the remarks of Mr. Dallinger concerning the Virginia constitution and the disfranchisement of Negroes, Judge Harrison remarked that this constitution has been approved by the United States Supreme Court." "The gentleman from Massachusetts, he continued, "cannot say they are sorry for the poor colored brother because they claim to be lily white; nothing so white as they are. They deny themselves the party after they had got their. They denied them representation in political conventions. They pride themselves on the fact of being extravagant lily-white people. So the gentleman from Massachusetts may save his sympathy on the ground that the Virgin has in some way prejudiced the rights of the Negro." HOME CONFERENCE HELD AT NASHVILLE Dr. S. S. Morris Takes Issue With North Carolinian And Defends Race Press. Nashville, Tenn.-The. Southern Co-operative League for Education and Social Work hold an important gathering in this city, December 3rd to 6th.

Percy Shnype, Dr. Bruce R. Payne, president of the college, and Dr. Philander P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, were all noteworthy utterances and stressed the vital importance, the absolute need of better homes in the South for all the people who inhabit this section of the country. Dr. Dyer, of Vanderbilt University, speaking on the subject of "Divorce as a Home Destroyer," said that the home was on the verge of bankruptcy and the situation challenged the best thought and efforts of strong men to give rise to give up and assure once more the solvency of the home, sweet home. NEGRO HOME LIFE The home life of the Negro was discussed by Rev. Dr. W. C. Overton, of Bothel A. M. E. Zion Church, Nashville and Rev. S. S. Morris, of Nashville, and Prof. C. H. Trowbridge, of Brevard, N. C., who said that he understood the Negro press to be "red and radical" Other members of the convention agreed that the Negro had every reason to be "red and radical" because of the treatment, but his loyalty and alliance could not in the least be deplied. CHURCH AND HOME Recreation in the home and what the church may do to elevate the principles of truth, virtue and righteousness once inculcated around the fireplace. HIS NAME TOO MUCH FOR JUDGE Greensboro, N. C.—When Justice James Hayes, colored was called to the bar in Superior Court this week to an check for charges of forging a check he made to inform the court he paused to inform the court that his name was on the docket wrong. "Well, what is it," asked the bar, then proceeded to make an apology "Stop and say that again so I may get it right," interrupted Judge Harding. Hayes then began, "My justice James Wilkins Joseph Thomas Hastings. The man was found guilty but sentence was deferred to give him an opportunity to refund the $10. HUNG JURY IN TRIAL OF CAR CONDUCTOR After Deliberating For About One Hour, Foreman Reports Inability To Agree. As a result of a hung jury, a mistrial was declared in the case of William Thomas (white) heard in Corporation Court, part 2, Monday, in connection with the killing of Frank Walker, colored, on October 18th, last. The trial consumed the entire day, and the acquittal for more than an hour and a half resulted in Judge Shackleford that they were unable to reach a verdict the judge ordered a mistrial. Thomas will probably be tried again at the next term of court. It is alleged that William Thomas, formerly a V. R. P. Company street car connected to a Lambert's Point bridge and killed him behind after the man had left his car following an altercation between the two men. Witnesses for the commonwealth testified that the conduct attempted to eject Walker from the car following an argument between him and his passenger and in doing so lost his car. Then, according to these witnesses, drew his revolver and fired one shot into Walker, who left the car and started to run. As he started to run, Thomas fired two more shots, both of which entered the colored man's body from behind. He joyed Williams, city coroner, testified that it was one of the bullets fired from behind that caused Walker's death. Thomus in testifying for himself, said that the colored man boarded the car with a large bundle which he placed in the way of passengers and when he ordered him to remove the bundle or leave the car an alteration made to the car, the advanced towards him threateningly with the knife. He denied that he fired any of the shots from behind and stated that he fired all of them in quick succession as the man advanced towards him. It is alleged that a small knife was found under the body of the dead man when picked up. The knife was discovered by the companions of the dead man state that he hld ridden on the Lambert's Point cars daily for more than two years enroute to and from work and they had never known him to precipitate an argument with street carmen. Walker also bore a reputation for peacefulness in his neighborhood. The prosecution was conducted by assis- tion of commonwealth's attorney Jonathan W. Old and Judge A. Johnston Ackiss. Attorney W. H. Venable, lawyer for the V. R. P. Company, appeared for the defense.

Morris, executive secretary Allen Christian Endeavor League, who has just returned to the University of the Southern states where he took him through North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee Mississippi and Arkansas, in interest of the League, made personal observations him that a general exodus of Negroes from the Southland is in progress. "These colored people are leave the South for the North, East or West," declared Dr. Morris. "every train from the Southland; large movers were counted. A nearly every man and woman evidences all about showed that it was 'moving days.' They are selling out, leasing and storing, but they are going. As fast as the colored people leave the cities, those on the farms and in the back-woods migrate to the towns and fill their places, but they to the wing they rise and fly away to parts unknown. CAUSE FOR MOVING "Riding among these people listening to their conversations, it becomes easy to understand the cause for this great exodus," states Dr. Morris. The Negroes want better pay for the labor they are tired of the white landlord that they are and after many months of hard work in the fields, saying to them, 'I allow you so much, but I deduct'——Many of the poor people say, 'de duck (deduct) done eat up all my made.' After allowances are made for the food and clothing they have taken up in the store, nothing is left and they are demanding for DEMAND BETTER TREATMENT "The people want more human treatment; they want an assurance of personal safety; they want better schools and facilities for their children; they want freedom of liberty such as other freemen enjoy; they are under the urge of a rising race business which has confidence in self and in God's justice and triumph of right," declares Dr. Morris. "Many, of course, will not move, the masses will probably remain, and it is gratifying to note that almost everywhere a movement is on foot for better schools and improved conditions, because those who remain, the thoughtful, are going down their buckets' where they are, acquiring property, establishing business, building homes and filling the schools. Dr. Morris attended many of the annual conferences of his Church and states, despite short crops, boll weevil, soil erosion, and toward conditions, reports from nearly every individual pastoral charge were in excess of last year.

North Carolina To Add Another 16 Room Colored School to System Greensboro, N. C.—The first colored school to be built out of the recent $1,000,000 bond issue is now an immediate prospect. The city school board opened bids Monday night, December 11, for the new Cedar street school and it is likely that the contract has been awarded. The new colored school, which is to be one of the best planned not only in Greensboro, but in the state, will be located on Cedar street at the corner of Whittington. The site is one that has pleased the members of the board and the citizens generally. It covers an expanse of six acres and on the lot are many trees and it is said to be one of the best lots in the city for school purposes. It has sufficient height to command much of the surrounding property and has outlets in all directions. It is the aim of the school board to rush the work from the start and the contracts will be awarded largely on the assurances of having the school ready by. August 1st, 1925, in plenty of time to insure its use for the ensuing school session. The need of adequate schools for the colored children in this city has been recognized by the school board for some time and it has taken that need in consideration in its plans. As at present the plans for the Gedar street school call for an unusually complete school building. There are sixteen class rooms and in addition, a manual training room, a domestic science room, and a complete shower bath equipment. The building, will be of brick on the outside and in all respects' will be a modern fireproof structure. Dr. Reed To Speak In Alabama (Special to Journal and Guido) Greensboro, N. C.-Reed. Daniel L.

Three On Trial For Criminal Assault Greensboro, N. C.—Charged with an offense the conviction of which may carry with it the death penalty in this state Clayton Sloan Robert Boland and Slim Dewberry colored are on trial in the Guilford County Superior Court this week. It is alleged in the indictment on which these men are being tried that on November 10, between 8:30 and 10:30 o'clock they did criminally attack and assault Miss Cleo Cobb, colored in a lon ly field adjacent to the Washington building near Bennett College. Miss Cobb testified that on the morning' of the alleged assault while she was at her place of employment she received a telephone message telling her to come to the Is Theatre as her brother had been seriously hurt. She put on her wraps and hurried to the theatre immediately and there saw the three defendants standing on the street. While passing Bennett College enroute home, according to her testimony, she heard a pistol shot and looking back was rushed by Clayton, Boland and Dewberry who took ahold of her and forced her into the Washington School building and then into an adjacent field, where each of them criminally assaulted her, covering her with a pistol in the meantime. In the rigid cross examination of Miss Cobb by the attorney for the defense, she admitted that when 14 years of age she became a mother. The young woman denied that she had invited the men to take a walk with her. La Grange, N. C. Mrs. Gaynell gave a Thanksgiving social in honor of her sister, Mrs. Mary L.

Moton's "Good Will" town of the Georgia counties appears to have been a very great success.

Georges Clemencean, the French Tiger, has gone home. He is a brainy and courageous old man and gave the American people much to think about, the proper treatment of Afro-American citizens being one of the most important of his subjects. The delicatess he drove home the truth and made his critics shut up was very masterful. The French Boxing Commission has decided that Battling Skii and Carpentier may meet again in the ring and decide which of them is the better pugilist, but it insists that all of the receipts from the bout shall be given to charity. It also decided that Skii must explain his conduct at the ring-side which got him disqualified and the statement he issued claiming that his fight with Carpentier was a "frame up." That's the way the French do it. ERRY HOWARD'S MONKEY HISTORY WRENCH D. and Mr. Perry W. Howard, of Missis- Stapi, is one of the big men of the mete. He has for a long time oce- mented a prominent place in the poli- tory of Mississippi and has taken a preminent part in National cam- paigns of the Republican party, at retational headquarters, during the secret sixteen years. At this time he one) of the Assistant Attorneys The W. of the United States. "Mr. howard is somewhat more of a Ro- national partisan than we have given him credit for bain. The Afro-American people have not been so aroused upon any question as they are on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. They had their hopes pinned to the passage of the bill, and expected it to pass at the extra session of the present Congress, but the Republican majority allowed the Democratic minority to filibuster the measure off the calendar and back into Committee, with no promise that it will over be called up again. Did Mr. Howard throw his monkey, wrench into the business in such wise as to queer the passage of it? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has given out a letter Mr. Howard wrote to Senator DuPont of Delaware, dated November 23, three days after the beginning of the extra session of which the following is the most pertinent feature: business, housing and private residences all enjoy gun smoke. The fact that our Northgate, that of the late Isaac Smith, lost some 500 houses, in the famed house would indicate the wealth of the Negroes of the restricted district devastated. "The splendid assistance that poured in from all directions for the relief of the afflicted shows in a touching way the community of feeling that mocks at rate and color distinctions when the supreme test is invoked by the "Divinity that shapes our ends roughhew them as we may." It is to be hoped that a large part of the property destroyed was covered by insurance. It is an unfortunate fact that Afro-Americans have not yet been educated to the point of appreciating fire insurance at its proper value, but such catastrophes as that at New Bern and the recent one in our own Berkley are giving them the needed education. The home and household effects should always be insured as fully as possible. The fire may come, but when it does you are insured against total loss. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE extends its sympathy to the unfortunate victims of the New Bern confaguration RIFLING TOMBS We have many ways of characterizing certain sorts of crime. People who go about in times of famine or epidemics, or who rob graveyards of their dead—we call them ghouls. They are considered among the lowest forms of creatures, and so they are. We all despise them, and the law gives them scant consideration and sends them along swiftly to their punishment. But when science gets busy delving into the ruins of buried cities and seeking in what they find to reconstruct the history we have, which at best is most imperfect, and when they go so far as to rob the graves of the valuables placed with the dead by their sorrowing or worshipful ones, and when even the mummies of some of the tombs so rified are taken to distant countries and placed in museums, we do not call that sort of thing ghoulishness. We call it archaeological research. Perhaps it is. We have seen some of these mummies from Old Egypt in the Metropolitan Museum, in Central Park, New York City, and we have had an uncanny feeling that the dead creatures were not a bit happy so far removed from their original resting places. The ancients had a superstition about the dead, and places of burial, that the moderns have not, and we have a notion that the ancients were nearer being right about it than the moderns. Abraham, Jacob and Joseph were very solicitous about where they should be buried, and concerned in an unusual way about their burying places, and Samuel pronounced a fearful fate upon King Saul for calling him from the dead through the Witch of Endor. The current cablegram dispatches from London chronicle the fact that Howard Carter, the explorer, and Lord Carnarvon have unearthed a wonderful discovery at the ancient city of Thebes, where they have been exploring during the past seven years. They have discovered the tomb of Tutenkhamun, near Luxor. He reigned some A. D. 1250. The treasure they are said to have recovered by robbing the tomb of the dead king in the name of science is estimated at $40,000,000. We regard this rifting of the tombs of the ancients of Babylon, Greece, Egypt and Rome of their dend and the valuables buried with them, very much in the same class as we regard the work of ghouls. OUR HOSPITALS Dr. Drake's letter in another column on this page draws attention to the splendid surgical record of Tidwater-Hospital, of which he is surgeon-in-charge, as well as to the urgent need of enlarged hospital facilities for this community. A mortality rate of $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. in operative cases is the record made by the Tidwater surgical staff, which, in the absence of any comparative statistics seems to be a splendid achievement. An enlargement of our hospital facilities is urgent for two very important reasons. A small plant, no matter how efficient it may be, is totally inadequate to meet the needs of Norfolk's population, even taking into consideration the colored work done in the white hospitals of the city. Surpassing in importance the need of adequate facilities for the better treatment of medical and surgical cases is the larger need of equipment to afford training of nurses and of medical internes to meet the increasingly rigid requirements of the various state boards of medical examiners. All medical men know how rigid these requirements have become in recent years, making it difficult for more than a comparatively few men to enter the profession each year. In his letter Dr. Drake refers to the continuation of the Tidewater House. community who desire to further their studies and practice in surgery. While emphasizing the need of larger hospital facilities in Norfolk and the advantages to be derived therefrom by both the laity and the medical profession it seems timely to quote the following from an editorial in the current issue of the Journal of the National Medical Association: "It is to be deplored that the great majority of our professional men and women are satisfied to sleep on their diplomas and certificates for the practice of their professions. We clamor for opportunities and wall because the doctor does field; but when the coming comes we are not willing or ready to take advantage of it." Dr. Kenney had reference to the necessity for abandoning the postgraduate courses at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee, for lack of interest and attendance on the part of the practicing physicians. With some of the best surgical and medical instructors in the United States on hand to teach, Dr. Kenney reported a registration the first year of twelve physicians and the second year of six. But we are wandering, perhaps, too far afield in our discussion of a local situation. There is every reason why the citizens of Norfolk should continue to give encouragement to Tidewater Hospital. It is, of course, not all that it could be, but it is all that we have and is the result of much sacrifice and struggle. Moreover, it is a great nucleus upon which to build a great institution, one capable of meeting fully the needs of the community, both as to the medical profession and the public in general Briefs and Spices Briefs and Spices According to the revised version, a Merry Christmas and a Snappy New Year.

TIDEWATER HOSPITAL Editor Norfolk Journal and Guide, Dear Sir: Every year since the opening of the Tidewater Hospital there have been a number of loyal friends of the institution who have never failed to remember the hospital by gifts from time to time to help carry out the mission of the institution. We wish to thank those for and to assure them that it is to pose of the hospital to always be at the service of those who need its care. The hospital was never intended to be the best of the hospital, but to fulfill a need badly wanted in Norfolk, where served people could have the best of hospital care under the supervision of their own doctors. Of course, the hospital is open to the practice of all reputable doctors regardless of color, but is the only one in the country offering the collared doctors an opportunity to freely care for their own cases. It has of course, been necessary and is still the policy of the hospital to maintain a supervised operating room. The aplendid reputation of the hospital has been built upon this policy, but all doctors may treat their medical cages as they may see fit and not be interfered with in the least by the hospital management. Those who are in a position to know realize the fact that a difficult fact science and requires several years of careful training for its successful performance. And only those who are willing to undergo the necessary training can cope with the difficulties of a successful surgical practice. The Tetra Hospital shall hold to its policy of a supervised operating room, basing its future on the past success this policy has brought to the institution. Our mortality rate of operative patients has never been lower than that of the management is determined that only careful and conservative surgery shall be practiced in the institution. The management of the hospital is very gratified in being able to announce that its appeal this year is for funds with which to do charity service for the large number who are constantly applying for hospital services who are also providing hospital fees. Professional care for these patients is rendered entirely free and the aid given them will be applied to their hospital fees only. After nearly eight years of continuous service in this community it is a pleasure to state that the hospital has been so fortunate as to become a permanent institution and that there is permanent existence and service to the sick. We not only have our present building and equipment modern in every respect, but there is splendid assurance for a larger building fully equipped with all the facilities of any modern hospital. We most cordially invite the cooperative, colored physicians, preachers, churches, lodes and the citizens in general in our efforts to make the hospital one of the best in the South and of the greatest service possible to our people. Very truly yours, WILBUR A. DRAKE, M. D., Surgeon-In-Charge, Tidgwater Hospital. They, too, by the ruling of the invisible empire, are denied the protection of the flag which they protected with which they could anything more shameful be conceived in the imaginations of men? Yes, we think that there is one fouler shame. Let it be illustrated by a picture from the past—nothing heroic, nothing unusual, merely a sketch that might have been duplicated a thousand times in a shoutout of what whites do that traverses a broad river valley, on the distant side of which are high hills. Every few minutes from their dim crest a rock climbs lazily into the night, curious rockets, of red fire, and green, and golden yellow; and borne and then and then and then a sound like distant thunder. The rockets are signal lights and the sound is the growl of big guns; for the hills are a bittle line, where the soldiers of this republic are holding at bay an enemy who would destroy it. Down the road the truck crowded to auffocation with fresh soldiers going up to take their places in the line: The driver of the truck, dressed in the olive drab and steel helm of the field uniform of the United States army, is a black man. Presently there are their troops on the black hills of a house; and at the turn, just off the road, something gleams white in the moonlight. It is a group of wooden crosses, six or eight of them huddled together in a field. The driver indicates them with a jerk of his thumb. "Shell-eaught one of our trucks here either night," he explains, and drives on. In the great drama of war, that GOO_as nothing.

In saving over 100,000 lives last year it actually cut the death rate from tuberculosis in half. Each year these organizations sell Tuberculosis Christmas Seals. The proceeds from these sales are devoted to the work of caring for and curing tuberculosis patients and to educational and other work to prevent the dread disease. Buy these seals and urge your friends to buy and use them. To do this is both Charity and Patriotism. FOR HEALTH Stamp out Tuberculosis with Christmas Seals ease, could never, never look with indifference in the spot where a single one of them had his life blasted out. One would like to believe that ground wet with our soldier's blood thence came, the enemy would be harmed ground, whether the blood happened to be that of a private in the rear rank, or that of a general officer. One would like to believe that whoever America might lay down would be American might lay down claim without question the right to be called American. If we are a republic, that must be so. But if We are to be ruled by an American, then six crosses are none of ours. The men beneath them died for us, but they are none of ours. For they were Negroes, in the lordly language of the klucker, niggers, oftener than not Negroes, therefore they could not be Americans. The Daily News believes as strongly as any klicker in white supremacy. But it believes that the white man can maintain his supremacy in the face of a black man that the white race had grown so feeble that it dared not assert its right to rule before all men and undertake to defend it boldly, in the face, as a men; it believed that, while a white man could it could not rule save by hiding its face in an assassin's mask and striking in the dark, then it would abandon hope of the white race. The existence of the Ku Klux is an insult to the white man that we cannot defend ourselves except by a coward's weapons. And when that order presches the poisonous doctrine that the Negro is not entitled to the right of a fair trial in open court and to the equal protection of the laws, because he is not 100 per cent American, we think he is not guilty by light by one of the rivers of France. And when officials of the government ally themselves with that order, nay, when a judge on the bench charged with the sacred administration of justice, will not deny that he is the head of that tributary order, we think of those graft in France. We are not of pity for the Negroes, for the Negroes have videdicated themselves. Our fear is for the nation that threatens to abandon its own dead.

B.'s Fearful Toll Emphasized In Drive State Executive Secretary Appears At Colored Churches of City and Pleads for a Giantic Offensive Against Plague. The campaign for raising funds thru the sale of Christmas seals with which to fight the spread of tuberculosis is being pushed vigorously at all the booths and places where the market is being held. Every effort is being made to put the program over with snap and vim. the realization of tuberculosis as a menace threatening the extinction of the colored race has come more nearly every man and woman as the statistics are record show the high death rate from this disease. No thinking person, therefore, will hesitate a moment in purchasing such a quantity of the seals, if possible, as to make a substantial increase, in the case of means of treatment proceeds derived from treatment of tubercular patients may be bad at the city clinics, of which there are two and isolation of tubercular cases made possible at the sanatoriums throught the state; so it is possible in the case of patients that can be prevented from spreading and finally stained out. The drive for funds was emphasized by the visit Sunday of Mr. Irving L. Speer, (white) executive secretary of the State Anti-tuberculosis M.E. Church, the First Baptist and Bank Street Churches, Sunday morning. Mr. Speer was impressive in the presentation of facts regarding tuberculosis and said in part: "Norfolk the only place where we know what to organize our effort to eradicate tuberculosis and if Norfolk shows results we save the best argument for continuing the work the remainder of the colored people in Virginia." In course of his remarks, Mr. Speer showed that more people had been killed by it boreculus in an equal period of time than had been killed of the American forces on Flanders' field in the great World War and expressed astonishment at the coldness of the disease that is making such fearful inroads upon the very existence of the people. He closed by appealing for help, not for the Far East and not for China, but for help in Norfolk. His help is more to fight the dreaded scourge of the white plague. own knowledge that we are not a race leader, and that nobody else accuses us of such. For if there is any term worked on by the race leader, it is the office of race leader. We do not know from where the thousands of leaders our race has produced got their license, or how they came into their heads that they were leaders. The Negro race is the only race that has a leader or leaders. You hear of no leaders among the whites of this country or the people of any other country. Neither the Germans, the Americans, the other race group or nation have leaders except our people. We have as many leaders among us as we have colors. Other races may have political, financial, labor or religious leaders, but no race leaders. And these leaders among other race groups do not have leaders, but for a political, industrial or economic school or religious sect. In America we have first of all the self-constituted appointed leader, who claims to speak for the race. Then, the political self-appointee, who walks around with the vote of his himself, and then with the help of himself. Then comes the white folk's negro leader, who bows and scrape to the whims and prejudices of the white man, and is rewarded by the white man designating him as leader. Then comes the thousand and one industrial school leaders, who prey upon the white man, telling the white man he is educating the Negroes to be good servants. Neither of these groups of self-apointed leaders help the race or contribute anything to the solution of every-day problems affecting Negro life. The following are the groups of leaders which are destroying the society the most in this country by reason of fights for supremacy among themselves; First comes the political leader—the little Negro boss who plays to the republican party that "we are the leaders and can control our group." This group camps around Washington during the sessions and the public during vacations. They rank in importance among themselves as named: Henry Lincoln Johnson, Perry W. Howard, and Robert R. Church. This trio considers themselves the spokesmen of the race thrue whom all of them represent, and if the agmistration recognizes anybody else, it is an insult to them. Then comes the race fire brands and agitators. Among whom are William Monroe Trocker, W. J. Jernagin, and Joe Bibb. This bunch is at variance with every other bunch in the country, and fight and criticize everything the other groups do. Then comes the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which claims of right the exclusive right to handle all questions affecting the race, and takes offence at the race along with or co-operate with their agency, and positively referee will be held work with or co-operate with other group of race leaders. style themselves as the classio of race agitators and solvers of problems. If they cannot settle a problem, then they would go unsettled than for anybody else to have anything to do with it. Then comes the Tuskegee influence, which is selected by the white influences of the country, north and south, as the standard of Negro possibility, and capacity to do from the white man's view-point. This group takes the credit for every political consideration extended the race by the Harding administration. Then comes the aristocracy of all the white group, which undertakes to set the standard high. Among the leaders in this exclusive group are: Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Wm. L. Houston, James A. Cobb and H. W. Lewis. Essentially the group is not politically affiliated, but something for themselves, but contribute in a way to help keep confusion confounded among the several groups of leaders and naturally find themselves together as a logical sequence growing out of the absolute and signal influence of the other. Helpful for the race. While these groups sit around among themselves, each co-operating, itself because of its of the situation and its spoils and problems, and criticizing the other because of its brazen unfitness, the race's interest goes to the bad in congress; the rebellian pro- completes the work of *infranchis*; it begins the county, by the democrats, the Negroes, by the cell factor, north, south, east and west, while the groups of self-appointees scramble among themselves for office, each with the motto hanging out, if I can't, you shouldn't; if I can't, you it over; if the other gang is to get credit for the Dyer Bill being passed, we would rather see it defeated. We have done much and sacrificed much for the republican party in the race, and the sum total of what the candidates and the activists they have made are summed up as follows: First, we have made the sacrifice for the last quarter of a century of receiving thousands of dollars in campaign expenses from candidates at national Conventions quadriennially. Second, we have made the sacrifice of accepting offices from the republican party at fat salaries for the last quarter of a year, we sacrificed ourselves to receive all of the party places and political offers in our state to the exclusion of everybody in the party but ourselves for the last quarter of a century. Fourth, we have taken all the offices our dean can give and our constituency nothing, have been silent every time the public tit was put in our mouths, the interests of our constituents and our promises to them, notwithstanding. We have made the sacrifice of taking everything we could, we have taken all the jobs and all the party places, and when it got to the place where we could not get anything, we traded the lily whites, in order to boost up our fallen cause. Verily, we have been forced to reach ourselves and giving nothing to our friends—Atlanta Independent. Rev. Bowling Preaches In Pittsburg Rev. Richard H.

Bowling's sermons are drawing large crowds to Ebenezer church in spite of the bitter cold and snow in which the smoky city is gripped. Rev. Bowling attended the funeral of the late Dr. W. G. Parks, which held in Philadelphia, December 18th. The congregation of the First Baptist Church expects the pastor to return to the city in time to occupy his pulpit next Sunday. He has been the recipient of many courtesies during his trip North and his preaching has received wide-spread comment in Pittsburgh. Miss Rosa B.

PASSES AWAY AT THE HOME OF A DEACON Came Near Being Elected President Of Convention To Succeed Dr. Morris. Rev. W. G. Parks, vice president National Baptist Convention, pastor of the great Union Baptist Church, Philadelphia and a nationally known figure in ecclesiastical circles died at the residence of Mr. W. T. Jackson, a deacon of his church in the Quaker City Wednesday night at 7:10 o'clock. Dr Parks automatically became the president of the National Baptist Convention on the death of Dr. E. O. Near and served in that capacity until the election of Dr. Williams to the presidency recently. He had just returned from the forty second annual session of the convention at St. Louis when he died Wednesday night. Presiding over that great body of 6,000 persons told heavy stories of his life, his friends presented his name for the full term as president and he obtained the next highest number of votes to Dr. Williams. He returned home from the convention in good health, arriving at Broad street Station at 10 a.m. on the hour, home schedule time. He immediately wanted to bed and after a few hours 'started out to visit those dear to him.' He visited and consoled Dr. Robinson, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church which was burned recently. He dined with Dr. Robinson with a view of the pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church. He then called upon Mr. W. T. Jackson, a deacon of his church. Here he seated himself comfortably and after a few words of greeting and talking of matters concerning the convention he turned his head to the door and Dr. T. S. Burwell, who had been summoned, could reach him. One of the outstanding accomplishments at the session of the National Baptist Convention just closed in St. Louis was the unanimous vote that the two conventions of the Baptist denomination in the United States unite. Many of the followers of the denomination attended the attendance at St. Louis and allied themselves with the forces of the late Dr. Morris. BLUE TRIANGLE NEWS of honor.

A LESSON IN TRUST AND PREPAREDNESS—LUKE 12:16-31 Golden Text—The life is more than the food and the body than ralment—Luke 12: 28. 1. The Foolish Man—Verse 16-21. "Wealth as it often is, is ruinous to the character of those who win it. Two percent of the people in the United States own sixty per cent of the wealth. If by the poor only one percent of the population is only of clothing, furniture, and personal belongings to the value of four hundred dollars each, then one man in the United States own much as two million five hundred dollars in his life and as sensitive in his conscience as when he was a boy, an amable, approachable, democratic, fraternal, honest, kindness, life, began, we have one of the most difficult and admirable spiritual victories that a man perfection, he sees a wealthy man, who, honorably fortunate, is as simple in his life and as sensitive in his conscience as when he was from humble, democratic, fraternal, generous as when his business life begins, we have cured one of the most difficult situations in accumulating wealth and caring goods. There is no sin in storing your possessions in strong and large houses for safe people provided that you do not affect the quality of your own selfish desires only. The rich fool made three mistakes: he mistook his body for his soul; he mistook time for storiness; and he mistook himself for God, the Ruler of all destinities." (James Soul, then hast much goods laid up for many years, take thine case, eat, drink be merry. Then fool, God and unto him, that he gave his soul to the king. The king gave his court fool a staff, telling him to keep it until he and the king fell sick and said to the fool, I'm going to leave the monarch. I will leave the monarch. Make into the other world, answered the monarch. When are you coming back? Never. What provision have you made for your journey? Here. Here take the staff, for with all of my folly I not so great a fool as you 2. The Foly of Anxiety.-Wv. 22: 22. Be not anxious for your life. What you want to maintain health and strength. John Mait takes a bag of bread, a piece of bacon, a handful of tea, and goes off in the Sierra Nevada Mountains for a month and with all his exposure he abides in health and strength he necessarily difficult with elaborate dishes perilous to pursue and stomach." Dean Charles R. Brown. Body and waist. you shall put on. Fashion is one the gods of this world. The time, thought, money on dress, their attire, economy, morals, and religion demand a reform dress. Life is more than meat. "Jeans had forbidden them to wear," he said. Which life which life might be supported, and how he assigns the reason. The Lord who has given life itself will not suffer us to want what is necessary for his support; and certainly for his dishearten to God when we fail trust that we will be nourished food or clothing—as if he had thrown us on the earth of random."Sadler. 3. God's Fatherly Care for us. We v. 24-11. "There is a verbo, Phil. 4.119. which I call the verbs of the past tense, the past tense of the bank-notes printed with this verbo inscribed thereon, and gave them out when making pastoral calls or to those seeking my study in times of distress. The vortex reads: "My God not inscrutable, nor need accustomed to his riches in glory by Christ. All your wish, perhaps, not all your desire, but all your need. Notice the grammar of it, 'My God.' Notices the arithmetic of it, recording to his riches in glory." A. T. Pierce. The ravens, and the lilies, and the grass are very insignificant compared to man; they are the least (yet God is mindful of) them. He feeds the ravens, he gives life and food to them. He grazes the grass in the field, "which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven." Man is better than fowls, flowers, etc. And I will trust that he who heeds the trust that hides in mead and wold. Who hanges yon elder's crimson heads. And stains those mosses green and gold Will still, as he hath done, incline His grecious care to me and mine. Heed these three reasons why we should not be worried about securing the necessary things of Life. (1) we are unable of outwildness, (2) we are unable of nations who know God make outward things their chief good; (3) God is aware of our needing these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be forgiven you. (4) "Our Father knows, never forgets, and always the best. This truth, divinely revealed for our comfort, is the efficient antidote to many of Life's lifes, in proportion as we perceive it. It kills care, gives blessed intercession to experiences otherwise unintelligible, solves perplexing mysteries, brings awhile where gives never bloom, turns groans into songs, gives never wonder, multiplies happiness, revolutionizes life." BRIGGSOGRAMS He who lives only to gratify self is a fool. The non use of possessions and power mean the death of them. True riches, consists not in the abundance of possessions, but in goodness, selflessness, and charity. He who makes religion the chief thing of life may be certain that God will provide for him the necessary things of life. "Soul, take thy sase." The idle poor are a curse; the idle rich are a greater curse. Too much thought for food and raiment imperial health, purse, monies, and religion. Rev. J. A. Young, Dr. D. W. Bryd and Lt. Jes. M. Collins. The Executive committee outlined the program for the year, embracing a number of forward and progressive bodies, which was unanimously approved by the board.

They were nice children, but Rosalea became a worked up girl and told her to iain the little girl looked for mas and time to write Santa a real chummy letter. "I will go down to the stable and tell Bossy about it and see what she has to say." Donning her hat and coat, she ran down to the stable. What do you think she saw Bossy was chewing and say she was good and her beloved Sally. The mowers had brought her in with the new made hay. Rosalea took the doll from the hay and hugged her tightly "You dear old thing. What if your paint is washed off and your hair out of curl.

Constant care and the frequent use preparations of proven merit are the secrets. DR. LACEY K. WILLIAMS HONORED BY BAPTIST Elected President Of National Baptist Convention To Succeed Late Dr. E. C. Morris. St. Louis, Mo.—By a majority of 39 votes, Dr. Lacy K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, was elected president of the National Baptist Convention to succeed the late Dr. E. C. Morris, at the forty-second annual session of the convention held in this city recently. With arms, who automatically succeeded Dr. Williams, the president from the time of the late was dead until the election was the nearest contestant of Dr. Williams, receiving 769 votes while the winner received 808 votes. The choice was afterwards made unanimous. Tremendous balloon loose when the result of the balloon was announced, that could be heard blocks away from the King's Theatre, where the convention was in session. The session was recorded as one of the greatest in the history of the National Baptist Convention and from the time he gave gavel calling the body to order until a meeting of Morris was chosen, the thought uppermost in every delegate's mind was, who will be elected president? The thousand persons attended the history of the convention and a half dozen banners fluttered among the great throng for their favorites for the great honor that was about to be bestowed on some one man in the denomination. A few of those has such an array of brilliant talons as to be similar honor. Dr. L. K. William, Chicago; Dr. W. G. Parks, Philadelphia; Dr. M. W. D. Norman, Washington; Dr. Moses, New York; Dr. Bryant, Georgia, and Dr. Bryant, Georgia, to have the strongest following. The program featured throughout the convention presented some of the brainsiest divines in the country at the best in sermons and addresses of exalted saints at that, everybody was impatient for the news to begin—the balloting for the preside. Church politics were clearly, in evidence by the backers of the various Rev. Wibank, of Washington, D.C., put into nomination the name of Dr. Norman, in an eloquent manner. Dr. Sims, of New York, presented the nomination with eloquence he pleaded the cause of his choice. Dr. Moses spoke fifteen minutes for himself. He vigorously set forth the thirts which he favors as best for the Convention; expresses his desire to work with Dr. Parks, declined in favor of Dr. Parks, Dr. Austin, Pittburg and Dr. Topp, Mississippi, seconded the nomination in a ringing address. The nominations then proceed rapidly, Dr. Nabrito, Dr. Brayant gracefully desiluted in favor of Dr. Parks. Dr. Harrison, Illinois, then-presented Dr. Watson, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Temple, Chicago. Dr. Watson immediately declined in favor of Dr. Williams and in an address that activated the Convention ably forth the qualifications of his nominee.

C. - Football will eventually come into its own among the young colored men of this locality. Three stars of the game have recently made their presence here in Williston Industrial School. They are part in coaching the boys of this city in the sport. Two winning teams have been developed by them this season. The stars are: Prof. C. C. Boomer, State Normal School, known as "Stonewall Center." Prof. Collin of Shaw University and Prof. W. A. Thomas, of Howard University. Philadelphia, Dec.-The Friends have always stood fearlessly and faithfully by men, women, and children who were disadvantaged but who were making a brave struggle to find a way out of their troubles. This spirit prevails as was shown in the recent conference which was held, in Pace House, Fifteenth and Rac Streets, under the aupices of the Colored Race and of the Philadelphia Interracial Committee. Dr. Elbert Russell, director of the Woolman School, Swartinore, Pa. presented a resolution calligraphy for an open interracial conference to discuss promoting interracial cooperation. This resolution was unanimously adopted. A well-known Philadelphia Friend, J. Henry Scattergood, presided at this conference, which was called to consider "The Importance of Teaching Modern Sociology Squarely," The Preparation of Up-to-date Text-books for Civic Classes"; "How to Teach Children's Understanding and Cooperation"; "The Need in Civics Teachers"; and The Problem of Segregation." Anne Biddle Stirling, chairman of the Philadelphia Inter-racial Committee, referred to the fear and prejudice in the minds of race relations. Mrs. Stirling stated that altogether too many white children are given the idea that the Negro is dirty, ignorant, and lazy. She pointed out clearly the need of teaching white children—and colored children, too—about Negroes who have made important achievements. Principal Leslie P. Hill of the Choyang Normal School spoke on "The Negro's Contribution to American Life." Associate Editor Alice Durbar-Nelson of the Philadelphia-Wilmington Advocate said: "Many children receive their picture of the black race through a picture of some Rottontot an elementary geography seen in an elementary school. We need need of giving children the needed facts concerning Negroes. We do not teach literature. We are taught by literature. Very often a good poem has a high value in shaping human lives. Very often the wall of white truth. We need not admit colored truth. We need to give children by giving them correct pictures of the contributions which all groups have made to civilization." The New South and the Negro Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the James and Slater Boards and rector of William and Mary College, made in "How to Promote inter-racial Understanding and Co-operation." Doctor Dillard pointed out that "the great body of Southern people hate lynching and want it blotted out." He said that there are hoodlums everywhere, North and South, who are that education, religion, and public opinion extremely important factors in the adjustment of race problems." Negro Education in Delaware Dr. Joseph H. Odell, director of Service Citizens of Delaware, in his address on "Equal Educational Op- portunity for Negroes said" Pierre S. Dupont, director of Negroes in Delaware week after week in 1910. We found the Negro schools in deplor- able condition. A photograph was made of every Negro school and every Negro school was carefully measured. We secured a complete picture of the Delaware school system for Negroes. That does not have a single Negro schoolhouse with a Negro schoolhouse houses insanity, foul, and inadequate. During the past eighteen months Delaware has built fifty-one Negro schools with ninety- three rooms. There has already been completed $706,000 worth of Negro schools. Under contract now there are $215,000 in addition. There are still nine Negro schools to be built. Dr. James E. B. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, declared that men and women are looking to Dalaware as a model State in careful educational planning. Doctor Gregg stated that the problem of raising the level of education is that of working hardest where the problem are worst. He pointed out that Negro education must be undertaken for the interest of both white and colored people.

Cops Annual Classic With Bennett One Thanksgiving Day the fighting football teams of the Agricultural and technical College of Greensboro, N.C. defeated the team representing Bennett College, also of Greensboro, in their annual football game. The contest was staged on a grass field before a crowd of about one thousand cheering adherents of both teams. The A. & T. boys were the first to fake the field. Led by Captain Howell, the big-line-plunging fullback, the thirty members of the squad presented a sight such as would please any coach. Big husky and fast they showed a polished fineness in running off their plays. About two-twenty, Bennett's heroes escorted by their faculty and student body, made their way on the field. Their faces clearly reflected Bennett's fierceness, Beatt and & T., or leave their bodies, the field." Led by Captain Mose Byers, their sensational quarter-back and broken field runner, they appeared to be the very epitome of speed. After a brief consultation with the team, Bennett decided to play Bonnett, "Dow's deck" Patterson, the great center and captain-elect of next year's team, booting the ball almost over the goal. Bennett succeeded in making two first downs through A. & T.'s supposedly impregnable ball, an exchange of punts, Bennett again encounters a buttumble on the twenty-1st yard line, Captain Howell recovering for A. & T. At this point, "Mall" Bell, the speedy little 135 lb. quarterback dropped back and heaved a long forward, Bennett's big right end standing over the goal line. The try for point was missed. During the rest between halves, the A. & T. coaches raked their men over the coales and they came back in the second half and put on an exhibition, then been seen bofoke in North Carolina. Using all the plays in her repertoire, quarterback Bell drove his men at high speed to the fifteen yard line where he himself, hit the line and broke through for a touchdown. The team was the terrific line plunging of "Tech" Howell and the perfect use of the lockstep formation made famous by Centre College against Harvard. In this play the line paraded back and forth across the field so that he was fifteen or twenty yards to the right of his teammates. This play completely baffled the Bennett eleven in each of five times that it was used. For Bennett the work of Byers was a sensation. He was a host in himself. The whole A. & T. team shone brilliantly, but too much credit cannot be given to E. Bell, the plucky little halfback, who fought his way from obscurity on the second team to a stellar position on the Varsity. Captain Howell and M. Bell also played great games. He played exceedingly well but the playing of Patterson, Brown, Lane, and Spaulding was especially scintillating. The game went on in smooth fashion, showing absolute control of the men and a comprehensive knowledge of the rules. Referee Dr. Hangraves, Shaw; Umpire, Dean Boyer, Yale; Head Coach, D.

Throughout the first half the Norfolk boys employed straight football, the swift backfield composed of Tyler and swept thru tackles, over guards and around ends. At no time during the first half was the goal line of the Norfolk boys in danger. The inclement weather made the game slow at times, but taking all things in consideration, it was as good as White showed. The team, White showed a line offense and end running calculation that bewildered the Gold and Blue. The boys from The property has been platted into 3000 lots and all laws in regard to cemeteries have been complied with. It is now being thoroughly drained and improved, and work will begin at once on planting) the finest shade trees and putting in grass and flowers. Hampton held their offensive power in reserve until the beginning of the second half, then with a burst of speed they brought the spectators to their feet and astonished the Norfolk boys for a while. It was during this period that Hampton made their only scores. Union Street kicked off. West raced the oval 24 yards before he drove in Harrison. Harrison went over tackle for 6 yards. The high school defense worked well. On this play Harrison fumbled but recovered. Coble went through for 4 yards. West kicked to Hampton. They were held for downs. They kicked to West who ran away. From this time Washington began its march down the field. Harris went over for the first touchdown. Coble intercepted a forward pass and another march was started that ended in another score for Washing- At the beginning of the second quarter a Hampton player intercepted a forward pass and shook off tackle after tackle and after two downs scored. The goal was also kicked. Booker Washington received the ball, and Boston carrying the oval to the 5 yard line, with Allen Taylor scoring. West sent the oval spinning between the uprights. Spectacular plays featured the rest of the game. Booker Washington lineup: Diggs, left end; Wymn, left tackle; Bridgeport, left end; two center guard; right guard; I, Jones, right tackle; Leo Thomas, right end; A. Taylor, right half back; A.

"Whirlwind" Johnson To Lead Lincoln, 1923 "Whirlwind" Johnson, Lincoln University football team's famous backfield player, has been elected captain Lincoln's squad for the season of 1923. Two years ago this young athlete was put into the Lincoln backfield during a major game as a substitute. This was in the halcyon days of Law, Salent, Sam Par, Tom Williams and Duck, Green, and by his consistent lining hung, dazzling run and brilliant running from the air, he became famous over night. He presented to the writer a truly heroic figure, his "mane" tossing in the air, with his continual exhibition of sportsmanship, the writer gave him the epithet "Whirlwind." This epithet he has carried thru two seasons with justification. Johnson had an amazing experience on the eleven of Shaw and Union universities. At Union he was a three letter man. However, it was in the West Virginia game that "Whirwind" covered himself with glory. Before six thousand people at Charleston, W. Va., last October, Johnson played a game Morgan of West Virginia. The Governor said that he had seen some of the best hulffnacks in the country, but he had not seen one to match "Whirwind" Johnson. Johnson has been selected for the mythical all-American eleven. Johnson played an exceptional athlete, but he is a thorough student and a gentleman. Last week the Lincoln Varsity squad met to elect a captain and after considering the qualifications of several star players, they elected "Whirwind" to the captainty. Robert Johnson, who is now a prominent citizen of Plymouth, N. C., but is formerly of Norfolk.
