CITY EDITION Norfolk Journal and Guide BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ASK BIDS ON $500,000 SCHOOL THOUSANDS HEAR FAMOUS PREACHER IN PROVINCES THOUSANDS HEAR FAMOUS PREACHER IN PROVINCES Returns To Home City Where Hundreds Greet Him In Two Eloquent Sermons At Second Calvary Baptist Church. Dr. Charles S. Morris, Sr., who has just concluded a six months tour of the Canadian Provinces, returned to the city last week and delivered two thrilling sermons at Second Calvary Baptist Church Sunday. The church was full at both services, morning and night. The sermons were truly characteristic of Dr. Morris and those who heard the venerable divine state that his sermons gain in eloquence, power and fervor as he grows in age. Holding his own as in his younger days, Rev. Morris preached two sermons, the like of which has carried his name over the country as a famous preacher and evangelist. Dr. Morris's itinerary through Canada, though primarily an evangelistic one, was in front of audiences will tour" as he preached to audiences of thousands of white people the Gospel of racial good will and the brotherhood of men. His appearance in Canada, according to newspaper dispatches, did much to dispel a growing unfavorable impression in that section relative to the American Negro. THOUSANDS HEAR HIM Audiences of from a thousand to four thousand persons, mostly white, greeted Dr. Morris in the cities he visited. He travelled with a colored Quintette from Cleveland, Ohio, and the trip involved an expense of thousands of dollars, which was born by free will offerings by white persons. In many of the leading cities, Dr. Morris and the Quintett were the guests of the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, when they were accorded the greatest hospitality. At Calgary, in the Province of Alberta, he was invited to address the white minister's meeting and was introduced by Dr. Johnson, pastor of the leading Presbyterian Church. In this city Dr. Morris presided in the Victoria Pavilion, which seats 3,500 people. After the regular evangelic campaign in cities like Sibrey T. Smith, a millionaire, come and proach for a week at the church on "The Coming of the Lord." For three weeks he probed at The National Theatre at the afternoon, at the Nassau Baptist Church (white) on Sundays and the Board of Trade Building at night, and for four Sunday nights, he talked to 3,400 people at each sermon. Immediately after a drunken colored man had shot and killed a policeman in Vancouver, British Columbia, Dr. Morris' appearance in that section softened a bitterness that was forming against the race by proving to the people that it was only the crime of an individual and that the race contained other individuals capable of drawing and speaking to thousands of people on the higher ideals of life. DOES GREAT GOOD It is readily admitted by the citizens in the regions visited by the famous evangelist that his appearance in that section has thrown a new light on the American Negro in Canada. Dr. Morris with his son Charles, is planning a tour of "Virginia and North Carolina," appalling to the white people of the two states against the danger to both cities of the South of the invisible government, wrapped in sheets, covered by darkness to inward, visible power and thereby overthrow, visible governments. By invitation of Rev. Long, Dr. Morris will preach for his old church, the Bank Street Baptist, Sunday morning, and for Zion Baptist Church Rev. Armstead, pastor, Sunday night in Portsmouth, subject, "The Only Safety in a Time of World Peril." Mrs. Terrell To Speak At The First Baptist Mrs. L. W. Terrell, of Lynchburg, Va., will speak at the First Baptist Church this Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Terrell is the talented president of the Woman's Baptist Convention of this State. She is an unusually eloquent woman and has for years been prominent in the affairs of both the State and National Conventions. She will be remembered as the lady who to charmed her heart and aged at the Second Cal-Baptist Church. Both men and women are invited to be present at this meeting. Annual Membership Meeting Of Y. M. C. A. The regular annual membership meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association will be held next Sunday afternoon, January 11, at the building 4200 North St. promptly at 10 a.m. clock. Every member is requested to be present. Just Returned From Evangelistic Tour REV. CHAS. S. MORRIS, D. D. FIRST RACE CLASH FOR YEAR REPORTED FIRST RACE CLASH FOR YEAR REPORTED Florida Sets The Pace In Lawlessness For 1923 Seven Die In Armed Conflict. Rosewood, Fla.—This little town has furnished the first racial disturbance of conseqne nce for the new year. In fact, even before the din of new year beils and the echo of watch night prayers had been stilled the resounding of a clash of the races was heard around the world. The town is quiet at this time and the law authorities appear to have the situation in hand. But before the lawlessness that broke loose here the last week subsided five dead—were counted, three colored and two white, and two more colored men have been added to the list of casualties since the first outbreak, making a total of seven known dead. The best information available as to the cause of the riot is that a group of armed white men invaded the Negro quarter and searched of an alleged colored attack upon a white girl. The Negros armed themselves and invaded to make a stand against the invasion. With both race groups heavily armed viot broke loose and for a day there was firing from both sides that put to shame all pretenses of law enforcement. A group of the armed colored men barricaded themselves in a house and for a time stood off the attack of the whites, who were being reinforced by other armed white men from neighboring towns. It is said that two of the barricaded men were killed when the house was perforated with bullets from the outside and the remainder of the besieged did not from the村里 to nearby woods. The whole Negro section was fired and today not three houses stand in that quarter of the city. The occupants of the burned area have taken refuge in the woods and other towns. One colored man was captured, marched to the cemetery and made to stand on the graves of the Negroes who had been killed on the first day of the riot. He was faced by a score of armed white men who accused him of being one of the men barricaded in the building. A grave was dug while he was still alive and a volley of shots from the pistols of the men curers ended him, and his body was thrown into the pit. The armed authorities have arrested several colored men on charges of being implicated in the rioting. A crowd looked on as white men burned the houses of the fleeing Negroes, but the authorities state that they can find no one who will admit that he saw the crimes perpetrated. AFTER NEW SCHOOL FOR HUNTERSVILLE The Patrons' League of the J. C. Price School, B avenue and Church street, one at the school building, one at January 8, for the purpose of effecting an active organization to work to secure a new school building in that section of the city. The league members state that the J. C. Price school, the only one in that section of the city, is antiquated and without sufficient playground. They are of the opinion that it would make a good site for an uptown fire station and afford immediate fire protection to a thickly populated setle- Mr. H. A. Robinson, principal of the school, presided at the meeting. The following officers were elected: T. W. Stancill, president; Mrs. Harold Davenport, vice-president; Walter Smith, secretary; Mrs. Marie Williams, assistant secretary; Mr. Bynum, treasurer. Executive committee: Dr. Wilson, John Tyler, Mrs. M. E. Diggs, Mr. E. H. Moseley, Mr. McCullough, Mr. Parham and Rev. Thomas. The League will meet again next Monday night and all are welcome. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 13, 1923 "REV. WALLACE AT THE JUDGMENT SEAT" Rev. Bowling To Repreach Rev. Wallace's Funeral On Sunday Night At First Baptist Church. "Dr. Wallace at the Judgment Seat of Christ," will be the subject of Rev. Bowling's special sermon this Sunday night. He has declared that he was not satisfied with Dr. Wallace's funeral and will therefore preach his funeral himself and utter a prophecy on the future of the First Calvary Baptist Church. Music will be rendered suitable to the occasion, eulogies for the deceased and special sermons will be reserved for any ecclesiastical or fraternal groups that may desire to attend. The service will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock and will be held rain or shine, just like any other funeral. SENATE TO ATTEMPT RULES REVISION Democrats and "Progressive bloc" Prepare For Finish Fight Against Scheme. Washington, D. C., Jan.—As an immediate result of the successful Democratic filibuster against the Dyer anti-lynching bill and the delay being encountered by the administration ship subsidy bill, efforts are now being made to change the Senate rules governing debate so as to expedite the passage of legislation. RESOLUTION INTRODUCED In this regard, Senator Wesley L. Jones, Republican, of Washington, who is in charge of the ship subsidy bill, has introduced a resolution which provides for a special committee of five Senators "to study the rules of procedure of the Senate and to report and recommend what changes should be made in order to expedite business and to enable a majority to bring a question to a vote for final action and at the same time afford reasonable protection for the rights of the minority." Senators Jones sought unanimous consent to have this resolution considered immediately by the Senate, but, upon objections of Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi, it was referred to the Rules Committee. WANTS SPECIAL SESSION TO CONSIDER QUESTION While the Jones resolution provides that all five Senators of this committee shall be chosen from among those who are to sit in the next Congress, Senator Watson, Republican, of Indiana, would have the President call a special session of the sixty-eighth Congress on March 4, or immediately after this Congress ends for the express purpose, coordinating a revision of the bill. He has conferred with the President on the subject, but would not make known Mr. Harding's attitude toward an extra session of the new Congress. DEMOCRATIC AND PROGRESSIVE OPPOSITION Opposition to any modification of the Senate rules looking to the curtailment of debate is expected from the Democrats and Republican members of the newly organized "Progressive bloc," of which Senator Le Follette, of Wisconsin, is the head. Democratic opposition will be based upon the advantage which endless debate has afforded them in killing off the Force bill and in not even permitting the consideration of the antilynching bill of Congress during the Wilson administration. Senator Underwood, of Alabama favored a cloture rule; but with the Republicans in control, he has become an exponent of dilatory tactics. The "Progressive bloc" is now conducting a long-distance filibuster against the ship subsidy bill. They are anxious to wield the balance of power in the next Congress, and in order to do this La Follette and his associates will have to resort to filibuster tactics to defend legislation to which they may be opposed. It is expected that the question of changing laws has governing debate will be much discussed, but it is improbable that there will be such modifications as to virtually prohibit filibustering tactics or other methods of obstruction. OUT-OF-TOWN CALLERS Among recent callers at the Journal and Guide office were Prof. W. E. Robinson, of Occauna, Va., and Mrs. Annie Mae Reid, of Darlington, S. C. Mrs. Reid, who was formerly Miss Mann, was for a number of years travelling representative of the Journal and Guide. DANVILLE BANK PROSPERS Danville, Va.—The last statement of the Savings Bank of Danville, this city's colored bank, shows that the institution has resources of $172.152.82. The bank has paid in capital of $28,150.00; surplus and undivided profits of $7,000.00 and is in a sound condition in every way. BIG CROWD HEARS YOUNG MORRIS AT SECOND CALVARY BIG CROWD HEARS YOUNG MORRIS AT SECOND CALVARY Young Orator Thrills Home Audiences For Two Weeks And Returns To Far South For Two Months Tour. Speaking to an audience of 2,000 persons at Second Calvary Baptist Church, Norfolk, Sunday afternoon and to another of more than a thousand persons at Emanuel A. M. E. Church Monday night, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, ended a "whirlwind" return trip to his home city and left over the Atlantic Coast Line railway Wednesday afternoon for a two months' speaking tour of the city. Mr. Morris filled more than a half dozen speaking engagements in the Tidewater cities during his two weeks visit home. He is just from an extended trip through the Gulf States, where he spoke to more than 250,000 persons, but the climax of his tour came in his own city Sunday afternoon, when a surging mass of humanity tried to get into Second Calvary Baptist Church to hear him. After every pew and audience, he added and more than three hundred extra, which taken the doors were closed to further admission and it is claimed that between three and five hundred people were turned away. PLEA FOR RACIAL AMITY "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," was the subject the young orator used in his speeches in this vicinity. It is a subject in which he makes a strong appeal for racial amity, for the need to work toward the worth of the other race. It is an urge for racial readjustment for the common good of a common country. The young orator delivered his speeches in a brilliant manner, his eloquence holding the big audiences in attention until he took his seat. Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., has recently finished his college course at the University of Chicago, where he pursued special studies in sociology and economics. He went on a Southern trip as soon as he finished college and spent three months making a first hand study of sociological and economic conditions as they affect the race in that section of the country and his speaking subject deals largely with experiences gained on that trip. He planning to enquire City to pursue a more intensive study in his line in the near future. More than a hundred prominent white persons heard his speech at Second Calvary Sunday. The speaker was introduced by his father, Rev. Charles Satchell Morris, Sr. Dr. Morris, who is also a famous lecturer and preacher, spoke feelingly of the pleasure it gives him to see his son devoting his energies to the problem of race adjustment in this country. Day night a full house greeted him at Emanuel Church, Portsmouth, and with the same eloquence as characterized his Sunday's talk, Mr. Morris for three-quarters of an hour thrilled his audience. He was introduced by Dr. W. B. Anderson. Travelers Aid Drive IS Now Far Behind Travelers Aid Drive IS Now Far Behind The drive for $1,500 by the Colored Branch Travelers Aid Society is yet quite a sum behind the desired amount. To date $8.70 has been raised. The campaign will continue until the first Monday in February and it is hoped that every individual, church and organization will contribute to the drive before that time. It is an urgent call, the call of the Travelers Aid. The amount asked for is comparatively small $1,500 to pay the salary of one worker for the year. The organization is carrying a vital work in this city and its expenses are relatively small. It is not conceivable that the colored citizens will allow the present campaign to fail. On last Monday night an enthusiastic meeting was held at which Mrs. Grange, head of the Travelers Aid in the city, was present and made some helpful remarks. On Monday night, January 15, there will be a regular meeting to which all workers are asked to report. Dr. A. S. Elliott Will Deliver Founders' Day Address Hampton, Va., Jan.-The Rev. Dr. Samuel A. Eliot, of Cambridge, Mass., president of the American Unitarian Association and member of the U. S. Board of Indian Commissioners, will deliver the Founder's day address at Hampton Institute on Sunday, Januay 28, and will pay tribute to the life and work of General Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Doctor Eliot presides the Unitarian memorial of the Massachusetts Federation of Churches and a director in several large religious organizations. He is also a member of the editorial board of the "Hibbert Journal." New Bern Fire Victims Must Sell Land to City New Bern Fire Victims Must Sell Land to City City To Institute Proceedings For Wholesale Condemnation of Colored People's Property For Municipal Purposes. New Bern, N. C. In spite of the protests of the colored population of this city and many white people, the city government is determined to go ahead with its proposal to condemn wholesale the property of the colored fire victims, ostensibly for municipal of certain streets, expansion and protection of the cemetery and the creation of a public park. The Board of Aldermen at its last meeting decided to proceed with the project and passed resolutions embodying the proposed improvements with instructions to the city attorney to negotiate terms with the holders of the property to be acquired and if satisfactory could not be arranged to institute condemnation proceedings. mean the suffering of untold inconveniences by an element of New Bern's population that has for generations been sacrificing and striving, slowly moving on the upward plane to live and enjoy comforts as other peoples of the city enjoy. This they may the shifting of an entire element of the town's population with one sudden stroke, means practically that the years of effort put forth by race citizens in that town will have to be begun all over again. ORGANIZATIONS PROTEST Protests from the Colored Ministerial Alliance, individuals and organizations against the proposed action have poured in on the Board of Aldermen, but so far without effect. VALUABLE PROPERTY The area to be acquired by the city comprises the whole section of the finest and most valuable property owned by colored people and covers several blocks. It was swept by the disastrous fire that visited the city a few weeks ago and is now a barren area, but still valuable property. The fire victims had already begun plans for rebuilding their homes and business places when the astounding announcement was made that their land might be converted by the city. If the proposal is carried to a successful conclusion, it is said by the prosecution, and it means that practically the whole colored population will be pushed out into a section of the town unimproved by any sanitary arrangements whatever and without fire protection. It will Granby Street Market Pure Food Emporium Every Device Installed For Preserving Sanitary And Wholesome Condition of Foodstuffs. The Granby Street Market at Granby and Ninth街. is one of the most sanitary and conveniently arranged pure food marts in the South. Situated so as to be easily reached by the people living in all sections of the city, it is destined to become a boon to housewives. Modern in every respect, sanitary to the last degree, it is in reality a pure food show. Among the colored merchants and hucksters in the Granby Street Market are ussers, Goe W. Ramsey and Bob and Henry Watton. These and others who are located there, are well known to the housewives of the city. In the Granby street market will be found everything for the table and its close proximity to the residential sections makes it a convenient place to shop. East and North-siders may reach the market quickly by going out Twelfth, Nicholson, Scott, Queen, Bute or Charlotte Sts. All car lines lead there. Mr. J. H. Cofer, owner of the market, has spared no pains or expense to make it a model of convenience and service to Norfolk housewives. Mrs. Ada E. Isbell Laid To Rest The funeral of Mys. Ada E. Isbell, who died January 4, at her late residence, 516 Bank street, was held on Saturday 7, at Bank Street Church, Church A beautiful sermon was delivered by the pastor, Rev. C. M. Long. Solos, "The Old Rugged Cross," by Miss Bessie Wright, and "My Task," by Miss Helen Lawrence, were rendered with feeling expression. Mrs. Isbell, formerly of Lynchburg, Va., but for many years a resident of Norfolk, Va., had made a host of friends wherever she went by her Christian department and her loving and congenial disposition. The church was filled by her many grieved coworkers and friends, who attested her worth and standing in city. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. Interment was in Calvary Cemetery. Honorary pall bearers: Messrs. H. Dickey, C. W. Davis, Jr. Jas. Hughes, Hervyorkins, Jack Poster and Dr. A. J. Strong. Active pall bearers: Deacons Miller, Monroe, Goodman, Gregory and Messrs. Matthew Jackson and Daniel Brown. Mrs. Isbell leaves a husband, Marcellus Isbell: one sister, Mrs. Sallie Anderson, Knowville, Tenn.; three daughters, Mrs. Lillian B. Johnson, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Carrie Z. Winfield, of this city; Mrs. Anna R. Tucker, Philadelphia, Pa.; one son, Chas A. Isbell, New York City, and five grandchildren, who were all in attendance during her illness and at the funeral. Birds help keep down many insect pests even when they are not sufficiently numerous to exterminate them over a large area of infestation, and there are many instances where the saving of a crop appears to be entirely the work of birds. mean the suffering of untold inconveniences by an element of New Bern's population that has for generations been sacrificing and striving, slowly moving on the upward plane to live and enjoy comforts as other peoples of the city enjoy. This, they say, the shifting of an entire element of the town's population with one sudden stroke, means practically that the years of effort put forth by race citizens in that town will have to be begun all over again. ORGANIZATIONS PROTEST Protests from the Colored Ministerial Alliance, individuals and organizations against the proposed action have poured in on the Board of Aldermen, but so far without effect. Many of the older citizens of New Bern whose lineage is Carolinian have expressed their amazement at such a move when the town has always boasted that thrifty and industrious people old-guarded contentment within its jurisdiction and security in their possessions. It is not believed that many of the colored people will submit to remain in the city and accept property in the undeveloped areas. It is said that at a recent meeting of the majority of the property holders to be affected a resolution was passed which pledged the signers to enter into negotiations with the city for the sale their land and no one was an incrimonious one it is further stated, however, a large number preferring taking the matter into the highest courts of the state. Government Officials Visit The Town And Interview Citizens Committee A committee composed of government officials from Washington visited Truxtun and Craddock last week in search of information upon which to base recommendations to congress in regards to these projects. A group of Truxtun citizens met the members of the committee at Craddock and placed before them the situation as it exists in that town relative to having difficulty in meeting the presidents of their purchase contracts, and the maintenance of the town. Members of the Washington group interviewed Admiral Andrews of the Navy Yard, the city manager of Portsmouth and other persons who are in a position to throw some light on the subject. The immediate objective of the citizens of Puget Sound is for a reduction on the purchase price of the houses and a readjustment of their contracts so as to conform more nearly to pre-war levels. The National Ideal Society Has Made A Great Record Richmond, Va.-Just ten years ago the National Ideal Society, a live progressive fraternal organization, was chartered in the city of Richmond, Va. The future seemed dark to many who knew of its birth, but it is now shown that the order has made a wonderful progress; having gathered into its folds many thousands of members of the community. The order has paid out large sums of money to beneficiaries. It has purchased and paid for its home office; has accumulated about $325,000.00 in bank for the rainy day. Mr. A. W. Holmes, who founded and managed this splendid order has done much to show the Negro's ability to organize and to economize. It is further said the order does things in an ideal way, and makes a specialty of paying all claims on satisfactory proof of death of its members. Have You Got Your YEAR BOOK BUILDING MAY BE READY BEFORE NEXT TERM ENDS Speedy Erection Is Imperative; Say School Board Members; Plans Formally Approved and Contractors To Bid Soon. At a meeting of the School Board this week the plans prepared by B. P. Mitchell, architect, for the proposed new $500,000 colored school were formally approved and bids for its construction will be invited by the board within the next few days. The building will contain 60 rooms and will be the largest school building in the city. It will be 500 feet in length and under a single roof will be housed an elementary school, grammar school and vocational school. It will be located at the intersection of Princess Anne avenue and Malbay street, a site already owned by the city. The serious overcrowding in the colored schools has made speedy erection of the building imperative, state members of the school board. In practically every colored school, all classes below the fifth grade are on part time, and the overcrowding at the high school is a real problem. The new building will probably take care of the annual increased enrollment of colored school children for some years. It will come as a boon to many parents, for at present a number of children are away in high school, whose parents would be glad to have them attend school at home, but the fear that the serious crowding will deprive their sons and daughters of ample facilities to finish their course in reasons in causes they to seek schools in other cities. When the new school building is thrown open it is clear that young men and women will finish high school in the city before leaving for further study. Principles Not Expediency Motto Of Hampton Seniors Hampton, Va., Jan.—"Principle not expedience is our guide," was the motto of the Hampton Institute senior class, which was unvieled on New Year's morning in Ogden Hall. Wheeler C. Erwin, of Darlington, S. C., the class president for two years, indicated the pitfalls and evils of expedience. Doctor Gregg referred to Lloyd George as a classic example of the opportunist politician who played the game with regard to the shifts of opinion, who claimed on the shoulders of others to great heights. He contrasted with the opportunist the Puritan who feared God constantly and who served as a man of principle. W. C.

JANUARY 13, 1923 Begin to save now and at the end of the year you will not regret it. There is one advantage in being a leader, the race keeps you in front. The side for the common citizen to take in a political row is the off-side. If Germany is unable to pay the enormous reparations assessed against it by the Allies, why not readjust the matter so that she pay what she can pay, and give the rehabilitation of exhausted Europe a chance, to get in its work? Until this is done Europe will stagger and possibly fall down flat after a while. Then what? "It is always much better to let the lawtake its course, no matter how heinous the crime may be," says the Greenville, (N. G.) Daily Reflector, with reference to the recent mob killings in Florida. The individual who committed the crime, and not the race to which he belonged would have been punished if the law had been allowed to take its course in this instance. Mr. Morris Brown the Washington correspondent of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE, says that "the outlook for favorable action on any measure affecting the welfare of Negroes in particular is dismal." So much to be expected from the Congress, both branches of which are controlled by the Republican party. Much of the discussion in our newspapers on the outlook for the race is of the dismal sort. The JOURNAL AND GUIDE thinks that things could be worse with the race than they are, and that nothing is to be gained by looking on the dismal side, but everything to be gained by keeping a stiff upper lip and hewing to the line. We have plenty to fight for. Let us keep on fighting. INDUSTRIAL CO-OPERATION Few years ago when Henry Ford made five dollars a day, the minimum wage in his automobile works, he was hailed as the prophet of a new era in business. Since then many capitalists have worked out systems by which their employees can buy shares in the concern, and there has been a general trend toward the profit-sharing idea. Now, Henry A. Dix, a clothing manufacturer, in New York City, has gone them one better by handing over his million dollar corporation to his employees. He retains himself only as an advisory aid on a nominal salary; the employees are to run the business and take the profits. It sounds wonderful, but a thoughtful man might not find the Henry Dix plan as rosy as it looks. It seems a great thing for the employees to take the profits, but how long will there be any profits if the employees run the business? What would happen if a general let his troops command themselves? Co-operative ventures tried on a large scale in England and Switzerland have yielded meagre and irregular profits and inferior service compared to that of private corporations. In Pullman, Illinois, where the workmen were presented with model homes and every material inducement to contentedness, they were more discontented and rebellious than they had been in their unsanitary tenements. Two years ago, in Northern Italy, the Socialist workmen seized the factories, drove out the owners and started to run things themselves. In six months or less, they sought out the owners, begging them to return and save the business. All such plans look splendid on paper, but in practice they run up against hard economic facts. A business, big or little, must have a governing head. In business a man must work for himself and not for humanity. And, finally, in a case where all the employees are stockholders, it is only a question of time before the smarter and thrifter will buy the others out, and by a natural process of business elimination, again reduce the control to a few hands and eventually to one. If this be not true in the Dix case, then human nature and economic laws have changed. OUR FARM INTERESTS TO BE SYSTEMATIZED There were plenty of us who hoped that the labor interests of the race will have been systematized and placed upon a helpful and uplift basis, when the Bureau of Negro Economies was established in the Adminis- expert; was placed in charge of it. It did a good and helpful work. When the Harding Administration came in the bureau was made a political spoil and the character of it changed by the substitution of the Bureau of Conciliation. That means nothing, and the Bureau has accomplished but little in the change to the advantage of those whose interests it was intended to promote and safeguard. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E. Walker were the guests of Mrs. Martha Hardy of Newport News, for the holidays while there they were joined by their brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John Early and their friend, Mrs. Ruth Armls, of East Liverpool, Ohio. A very pleasant stay was enjoyed! Mr. and Mrs. Early and Mr. Professor W. S. Scarborough has a like dream about our farmers and their interests. He was appointed Assistant in Farm Studies, Division of Land Economics, in the Department of Agriculture, and according to his lights has done the best possible to make the job one of usefulness to the race and the Government. We find that in a letter he has addressed to the Chief of the Bureau of Land Economics Prof. Scarborough hopes that he may be able to build up a Bureau in the Department of Agriculture which will be useful and helpful to Negro farms. We hope he may have success. Our farmers need the long and helpful arm of the Government in their business, but they, like other groups of the race, get very little of what they need from the Government. Prof. Scarborough summarizes the needs of such a Bureau as follows: 1. A bureau that shall put the Negroes of the country, especially of the South, in closer touch with the Agricultural Department. 2. The Bureau to be in touch with all bureaus now in operation among farmers, so that the Agricultural Department may have accurate information concerning Negro farmers, as relates to their farm life and ownership of farms. 3. To keep in touch with all bureaus and agencies operating among Negro farmers. 5. That the Bureau shall be allowed sufficient clerical force to enable it to gather and systematize information about Negro farm life as may be servicable to the Department of Labor. 6. All correspondence relating to Negro farmers and their interests to be referred to the Negro Bureau. 7. The Bureau to make a careful and thorough study of the aims and purposes of the Morrill, the Smith-Hughes and the Smith-Lever acts, with a view to ascertain how far Negro farmers are discriminated against in the distribution of the benefits growing out of these acts. It goes without saying, that the JOURNAL AND GUIDE hopes that Prof. Scarborough will get the Bureau he desires and be able to carry out the suggestions he has made, all of which would be good and helpful to the Negro farmer, who, so far in American life, has been left in very large measure to hew out his own way to success. Of late years Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes have pointed the way the State and National agricultural departments can be of great service to Negro farmers, and their joint agencies have done much to better the conditions that surround and handicap Negro farmers. How inadequate these agencies are and have been measures the wide distinction which State and Federal authorities make in estimating the needs and necessary assistance to be given between blacks and whites, a distinction which the Constitutions of the State and the Nation do not make. We hope Prof. Scarborough may get his bureau and that in the operations of it our farmers may receive the consideration they deserve and need and which is given with a lavish hand to white farmers. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) Reports from Louisiana indicate that the Ku Klux Klan's attitude towards Mer Rouge is questioned. Probably they prefer a coat of white wash. We are firmly convinced that the fellow who gets comfort out of saying how much money he'd give the poor if he had it, is simply born that way. ```markdown ``` How big is the Lyncher vote?

Earn- ment: Teamed suit against Scissored BETTER TO LET THE LAW TAKE ITS COURSE The riot reported down in Florida is to be regretted, but they are bound to occur at times even in the best of communities. It is very regrettable, however, that white people can't hold their temper in case of provocation. They derive no good from taking the law in their hands. In fact, they cause the public to have a bad impression of the community. It is always much better to let the law take its course no matter how heinous the crime may be. Every man, it matters not how low or mean he may be, deserves fair and impartial trial before our courts, but this cannot be given if the mob spirit is to prevail. Everyone interested in rioting and lynchings should be punished severely when detected. In this way alone can we expect to kill the spirit that seems to exist in every community.—Greenville, (N. C.)

Yorktown, Va.—The remains of Samuel Jefferson, Jr., of Yorktown Va., were laid to rest on Thursday, January 4, 1923. The funeral services were held at the Shiloh Baptist Church, of whiche deceased had been a faithful member for a number of years. The Rev W. A. Baker, D. D. of Norfolk, Va., pastor of the church, conducted the funeral, ably assisted by the Revs. J. J. Mainor, Billups and Edwards. When the procession reached the church it was filled to its capacity, with relatives, friends and acquaintances, who had paused from their various activities, to give and hear testimonies of the life of this young man, attesting to the very high esteem in which he was held, and to his sterling character. Testimonies were read from the Shiloh Baptist Church by Miss McNorton, the Knights of Gideons by Mrs. M. E. Miller, the York-County Training school by one of the pupils, and from the Central Baptist Church, of Pittsburg, Pa., through its pastor, W. R. Wagezins, the originator of Normal and industrial institute through Mr. C. W. Florence, assistant to the principal, and Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Nickens, of Pittsburg, in whose home the deceased had been stopping for the past four months, by Prof. E. C. Brown, principal of the Yorktown School. All of these ecologies testified to his Christian character, important to as a gentleman, his ambition, and his attaining the heights that he might render more efficient service to his race. The York County Training School attended in a body, and sang very effectively, "Fade, Fade, Each Earthly joy, Jesus Is Mine." Scripture lesson, the 39th Psalm, by Rev. Mainor; prayer, Rev. Edwards; solo, Prof. E. C. Brwon. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. A. Baker, D. D., who spoke most eloquently of the deceased portraying his life, and appealing to the young men of the community that they were to follow in the footsteps of this most revered actor. His text was taken from the 16th Psalm, 11th verse. Eulogistic remarks were made by Revs. Billups, Edwards and J. J. Mainor, S. C, of the Knights of Gideon, who had known him from his early childhood days, and had noted his rapid development and progress. Mr. Samuel Jefferson, Jr., was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Jefferson, of Yorktown, Va., and altho but 17 years of age, was a graduate of the York County Training School, the V. N. and I. Institute, Petersburg, Va., and at his death was pursuing a course in mechanical engineering at Pitsburg, Pa. that he was seized with the news which terminated fatally. Christmas morning he awoke complaining, was summoned, and he was hidden to remain in bed. The next day he developed pnuemonia, was rushed to the hospital, but despite all that medical science could do, he passed away January 1st, at 10:40 a.m. At the time of his death, his mother, Mrs. Fannie Jefferson, was with him, and his friend and schoolmate, Mr. C. W. Dyke, who in company with his mother, brought his remainals home, where the last sad rites were said. Beautiful floral designs were sent by the Knights of Gideon and the York County Training School, and V. N. and I. Institute. His life was well spent, short, but filled with good deeds, kind acts, unselfish service and a lofty purpose. May his death be the means of influencing many others to see and recognize, in the language of the Psalmist, "Thou will show me the path of life: In Thy presence is fullness of joy. Thy right hand are pleasures forever more. Fraternally, he was connected with the order Knights of Gideon, having first been a member of the Juvenile Department, before he was transferred to the Subordinate Lodge.

The gentle voice of mother Has the sweetest sound to me When dark waves of despondency Across my spirit roll. And bright eyed hope no longer seems, To cheer my troubled soul. When friends prove false, and faith and trust, Seem dead within my breast, Ah, then think of Mother's love, The truest and the best. Though other ties may broken be And other friendships fail Gainst mother's love and trustful- BRESS, No overt can prevail. True as the never failing star, Her faithful heart did prove Ah, what a priceless treasure. Was my mother a kindest love, My daughter. MARY E.

D. L. Miller, the new pastor at St. Paul's C. M. E. Church last Sunday. The subject was taken from the text, "Ye have not passed this way betrothoe."—Joshua 3:4.

We are told that at a banquet of King Jannaeus, the rabbi, Simeon ben Shetach, in spite of the presence of some great Persian satraps, had thrust himself at the door between the king and the queen, and when rebuked for his foremost place. We are told that at a banquet of King Jannaeus, the rabbi, Simeon B Shetach, in spite of the presence of some great Persian satraps, had thrust himself at the table between the king and the queen, and when rebuked for his intrusion, quoted, in his defense (Ecclus. 15:5): "Exalt wisdom, and she shall make thee sit among princea."—Rev. James H. Snowden, D. D. In verses 7-9, we have the fall of the proud; in verses 19-11, the rise of the lowly. It is a whole lot better beginneth the bottom and go to the top that it is be in at the top and go to the bottom. "How much mortification and bitterness of heart and sore disappointment there is in the world because men seek to fill places for which they are not qualified, and then they have to be ousted."—McLaughlin. The humble man shall be exalted and have glory of all that sit at meat with him.—verse 10. There is no dis honor in the humble lot—unless one is shirking the responsibilities of one more exalted. The wise man will take the lowest room; but only the shirker will refuse to go up higher.—Donald Hankey. 2. Unselfish Hospitality and its Reward—verses 12-14. "Christ's teaching is that a man should not spend his life among his supposed equals, giving and receiving, but that he should maintain a living sympathy with men as men, and should know the blessedness of giving without the hope of an earthly-reward; that he should not be constantly asking. Can I make it get back of this? or, how Will I get back the cost of this?"—J. M. Buckley. Call thy friends not, etc. lest haply they bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee—verse 12. "A man is not in the true sense hospitable who entertains only those who can entertain again. Such interested hospitality is not wrong, but there is no merit in it, and it does not lay up treasure in heaven."—Dummelow. Call to your feast the poor, lame, blind, those who are unable to make a feast in exchange for you—verse 14. Your reward is in heaven, in the resurrection of the just. Good deeds are sure to be rewarded either in this world or in the world here. Those persons are blessed whose good deeds cannot be required here, for they are sure of a reward hereafter"—Inter. Crit. com. "There is no place where we can safely lay up our treasures as in the hands of the poor."—Chrysostom. 3. The Conditions of Discipleship—verses 25-35. "In verse 26 Jesus draws a distinction between outward and true discipleship—any man come after—that is the first, the mere visible one of them. But something more is needed to make him really a 'disciple.' Then he placed the qualification of a true disciple very high. There must be a willingness to abandon, yea, if need, to 'hate' all that is naturally most dear; and there must be a readiness to understrain that is most painful and abhorrent to natural feeling, if men are called upon to do so.'—verse 27. Bible Commentary. Count the cost. Jesus offers no inducements for weak kneed men, weaklings and spineless individuals to be his disciples. Becoming a Christian, devoting your life to the cause of Jesus Christ is the work of no pygmy nor a puppet. It is the work of a manly man; it calls for heroism. Foraking your sins and following Christ must be done only after serious thinking. Anybody may profess Christianity; but anybody can not possess it. "Enter into the Christian life intelligently, weigh the cost, understand what you must give, do not be a 'rice Christian,' following Christ fraternities or churches. There were services to the church during this service. WESLEY UNION A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Services Sunday were very good. The pastor preached at both services. Mr. Darden is still on the sick list.

BRIGGSOGRAMS It is better to deserve a thing and not have it than it is to have it and not deserve it. Deeds of kindness never go unrewarded. Make somebody happy for no other reason than you love to do it. Which is more despicable, the self-conceited or the extremely modest man? Neither is enviable.

One day while the two boys were taking a stroll they passed the apple orchard of Mr. Jones'. Seeing the pretty apples James was tempted, if he only had one bite he would be satisfied. Over the fence went James 'four apples' he him and to go. He came to the tree and took one apple. Hurryting to the fence he landed on the other side and gave John a bite, who did not stop to think, went over and got one also. On the way back they met my Mr. Jones. James at once hid his apple but John kept on eating his. Mr. Jones walked up to the boys and said, "James what did you hide?" "Nothing," said James. Well, John, "where did you get your apple?" said James. "What did you get slowly." "Where did James get his?" "The same place," said John. "Very well James, you shall be punished, John shall have the job. It always pays to speak and act the truth." ELIZABETH CITY, N. C.

Every person in the cast is a member of the Negro race noted for the ability to sing and dance. 'Catchy' songs and lovely dances are as thick as raisins in an old fashioned pudding. Among the most prominent song-hits are: "Love Will Find," The Way, "Honey Suckle Time," The Just Wild You About Harry," Gypsy Blues," Shuffle Along," Oriental Blues," Baltimore Buzz," Mary From Maryland," Everything Reminds Me Of You," and "If You Haven't Been Vamped By A Brown Skin You Haven't Been Vamped At All." Blanch Thompson, well known to theatregoers, The book of "Shuffle Along" written by Miller and Lyles, and boasts of real plot. It starts out with the preliminaries for an election for Mayor of a small Southern town, with three candidates in the field. Two of the candidates are partners in a grocery business, and the way they rob each other to further their campaign makes many complications so thick and fast, that the audience is simply convulsed with laughter; and when Sissle and Blage's melodiously beautiful score is added to this scintillating book, a concoction results so delightful that few can afford to miss it.
