Norfolk Journal and Guide Fire Destroys Big Bethel A.M.E.Church; $300,000.00 Loss SOUTH'S FINEST COLORED CHURCH A PILE OF DEBRIS Said to be the Second Largest Church in the World Owned by the Race; Remodeled Only Three Months Ago. INSURED FOR ABOUT ONE-HALF OF ITS-VALUE Atlanta, Ga.—A disastrous fire destroyed Bethel African Methodist Church, at the corner of Auburn avenue and Butler street, said to be the second largest church in the second floor of the school. The fire was discovered at 2:30 o'clock when a general alarm was in. Practically the city's entire fire fighting apparatus responded and more than twenty streams were directed to the great courtyard, this magnificent house of worship and laying it in ruins. Only three months ago Big Bethel was completed at a cost said to be between $250,000 and $300,000. Rev. Singleton, of St. Augustine in Colton, S. C., at the time attending the A. M. E. Bishops' Council. It is said the fire originated from a defective flue, as the roof was almost immediately destroyed. So intense was the fire because of the peril to the firemen of falling brick and stone the fire apparatus had to be moved a block away within half an hour after the blaze broke out. After about an hour burning the church, the huge tower built an enormous cost and it toppled and fell with a terrific crash, scattering debris in all directions. Firemen ascended the roof of the Citizens Trust Building next door to the church as it burned. The flames from this vantage point, but the pressure was not standard and the water appeared to feed the 'angry flames. Officials of the church stated that the building as it looked for about a week and would have to be built over from the ground up. Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church was the second largest colored church in the world, the largest being the one published in 1868. Several times the edifice had been remodeled and three months ago it was completed after an enormous sum had been spent on it in improvements and the fine pipe organs in the country was destroyed in the building.

W. Steadman and Benjamin Spigel, prominent business men of Norfolk, appeared before the club and briefly outlined a plan worked out by them, which when put into operation will be a great contribution to the business of this city.

CONFESSES ROBBERY; CLEARS COLORED MAN Becomes Converted and Yields to Conscience to Lift Suspicion - From an Aged Resident. Danville, Va. -The contention of sluices and programmatic brochures unavailble in the apprehension of criminals and that convictions based upon the evidence of the faithful canine belong to a semi-civilized era was out by a concession he made by a white farmer living near here. The farmer's confession cleared up the circumstances of a robbery committed nearly thirteen months ago at Dry Fork, for which an aged colored man had also lived under suspicion and accusation. STORE WAS ROBBED January, a year ago, a store operated by one Jones, was bargained and a large amount of goods stolen. Bloodhounds were seized from Dumont and a trail of larceny. They went direct to the home of the aged colored man. They hayed here and would go no further. The old man's cabin was searched diligently, but nothing was found to confirm that the cement was made to the grand jury in the case because the authorities would not proceed on the evidence of the dogs alone. So far as the law was concerned, but public sentiment in the community had reached him upon the conduct of the hounds and he was a suspected man. A Holiness' revival was held at Dt. Warren, but public sentiment to the services and many of them became converted. A few nights ago a resident of the community went to Jones and confessed that he was one of the party that colored man was not guilty. He even confessed that he was a member of the pose that hunted down the old man and searched his cabin. The confessor said he became the victim since that time his conscience had "dogged" him and he was compelled to confess. He showed the storekeeper a list of goods taken and offered to pay for them at the same time bygging them. The colored man that he was no longer suspected. The confessed and converted burglar refused to divulge the name of his confederate but insisted upon the keeper has refused to prosecute. War On Mosquitoes Cuts Down Malaria (Crasher Service) Atlantic City 'N. J., Feh—Hundreds of communities are busy undertaking malaria control, with the State of Alabama in the lead, asserted J. A. Laprinse, senior sanitary engineer of the United States Public Health Service today before annual convention New Jersey Mosquito Detection Association at Embassade Hotel.

STRONG SUPPORT BACKS SCHOOL IN COUNCIL SESSION White and Colored Citizens Prevail Upon Lawmakers to Take Forward Step in Negro Education in Norfolk. Occupying a rear seat among the crowd that overflowed the council chamber Tuesday afternoon were two dozen, more or less, colored people, whose faces were the same as this group had in the proceedings engaging the attention of the city's lawmakers. They were there as a citizen's committee representing the 55,000 Negro population of Norfolk. They were there to render whatever support they might, by word or presence, of the council, colored school ordinance which was up before the council for its first reading. A representation was there from Villa Heights, and one from Brambleton. Each group had its chosen minister, and the sincerity they could command the merits of the claims of their constituents for a portion of the funds for schools in their section which the school board would support, and the construction of a colored school. NEED OF SCHOOL ADMITTED The discussion was remarkably free from animus. Each section disavowed any intention of distracting from the merits of the claims of the other section. There was, in the proper sense, no opposing faction. In the proper of the spoken words, the merits of the heights or Brambleton actually spoke in opposition to the colored school project. In fact, they admitted the impelling need of the Princess. Anne avenue school but with them it was simply a matter of "climbing on the hand wagon." Such as gave colored people heart. There was a mere handful of them in the big crowd, but their side was no less well represented. White citizens of prominence took up the cudgels in defense of the proposition and in unanimous support of the need of the school the deserving of the colored citizens of it and their aspirations for a higher citizenship. REV. LONG SPEAKS Rev. C. M. Long, pastor of Bank Street Baptist Church, was spokesman for the colored committee. Dr. Long before beginning his speech presented council a sheath of jections signed by the church and colored, asking for favorable action on the ordinance. In a strong and eloquent appeal he asked for the erection of the school. He said that sentiments expressed in the chamber of the board of the building were the interests of the building are the things that make colored people ever hopeful of the South. He told council that much of the insatiary living conditions, the high mortality, rate and degeneracy of which the race is accused is directed at the building among the race could only be removed by those who have the responsibility of providing the finances supporting the colored leaders who are working under great handicap to improve conditions among their people. Negro's legal citizenship to the city and to the nation; of his love for Norfolk and his efforts at self-improvement. He concluded with a dispassionate and logical plea for the erection of the school as a matter of right and justice. Dr. ROYSTER UBED ITS ERECTION Dr. L. T.

New Trial Refused Cooper For Robbery The hope for a new trial for John Cooper, sentenced to serve two years in the penitentiary, went a glimmering judgment in Judge Norfolk County refused to entertain a motion made by his attorney R. G. L. G. Paige for another hearing. Under Griffin, under sentence of ten years in the penitentiary for highway robbery was one of the principal witnesses against Cooper. Griffin testified that Cooper was an accident worker in South Norfolk. He said that Cooper gave him a sign and he held up the man and took his wages from him. He also confessed to robbing a worker in his home. He was on his way home. In this case he knocked his victim senseless and relieved him of $25.00. Griffin is to serve the ten years for this offense. Attorney Paige contended that as Cooper was indicted for robbery and convicted for attempted robbery the jury erred in its verdict. He held that his client was guilty of robbery, and Judge Norfolk did not sustain this contention. REV. S. S. MORRIS RETURNS FROM BISHOPS' COUNCIL Rev. S. S.

Young followed by Professor Dungee's rendition of some of his inimitable poems: AMERICA COMPARED TO ANCIENT ROME Bank Street Baptist Church Pastor Draws Graphic Comparison of Modern and Ancient Civilization. A large congregation listened last Sunday to Rev. Long, who preached on the third number of the series of sermons of the four on the subject of the "Black Horse. Hence, things, the speaker deemed that this horse and his rider symbolized scarcity, distress calamity and death. Such a state of affairs was found in the Roman Empire from the reign of Caracalla to Alexander Serverus, who he hauled taxation on the productions of the land and as a consequence scarcity, distress, calamity and death followed. Caracalla admitted all free people of the empire to citizenship, not out of fear of the purge of having more people to tax. Serverus followed his method of taxation until the entire empire groaned under this severe oppression. Galerius made bad matters in that none escaped taxation under him; neither did the empire accept an exclosure, while menendants too poor to pay were huddled together on sea-going ships and plunged into the deep. The conditions in the Roman Empire were the same with ever deepening confusion as set forth under the discussion of the red horse. COMPARES ANCIENT AND MODERN COUNTRIES The point brought out here was that the empire failing to blot out disorders in their incipiency awoke too late to find that these had spread outward. The emperor brought the discussion closer home, Rev. Long declared that this phase of war in the Roman Empire had certainly found duplication in American civilization. "When he goes," continued the speaker, "when the monster of lynch law and mob violence reared his head upon the horizon of our civilization, the first victims were Indians, and lynchings consisted only in whipping the government closed its eyes to these obscure wrongs, the tendency to defy the law tended to spread until today not only Indians, but Negroes. Caucasians and Asians are lynched not by whipping but by shooting, hanging and burning and their lawlessness is more firmly entrenching itself as manifested by such hideous organizations as their kind. In the face of these sardous a task of suppressing these agencies now, the indications are that unless the American government hastens to put down the pressing disorder, it will not accept when her glory shall pass away. Making his final appeal personally to the great group of young men and young women before him, he appealed to let down the flood gates of evil, never to yield to the rushing tide of wicked passions and the battle for the elimination and conquest of these will never have to be fought. "By purity" he said, "keep clear of fire and there shall never be any cause for tears and regret and sighs of sorrow." Suffolk, Va.; John W. Jackson, Truxtun Fair, Portsmouth, Va.; E. J.

FILIBUSTERERS HOLD SWAY IN CLOSING DAYS Leaders Plead for Action on Administration Measures; Dyer Bill Tactics Taunt Former Advocates. Washington, D. C. Feh—With the filibuster against the ship subsidy bill openly launched and under full blast, the remaining days of the "lame duck" session of Congress give promise of being eventful and exciting. If the filibuster is persisted in—and the indications are that the opponents of the measure are prepared to withhold action on it until the new bill is passed, the most important legislation will be blocked and will die with the Congress. BILL FOR STATUE TO MAMMIES AWAITING ACTION In the legislative jam, which will probably result from the filibuster, a number of bills affecting colored people. Such measures include the bill introduced by Senator Sharp Williams, Democrat of Mississippi, and in the House of Representatives by Representative Charles M. Stedman, Democrat, of North Carolina, to grant permission to the Jefferson Davis College to attend the Confederacy for the creation, as a gift to the people of the United States, on public grounds of the United States in the city of Washington, D.C.; the Library of Congress, Popac Park and the White House, of a monument in memory of the faithful mammals of the South. On the call of the calendar for the consideration of bills by unanimous vote, last this bill came up on objections of Senator James Couzens, Republican of Michigan, it went over. It will hardly be called up again during this Congress, which expires on March 4. Other measures in which Negroes are priming for the Senateor Senator Freelhuysen, Republican of New Jersey, for the creation of a Federal Commission to investigate lynching, and the item in the District of Columbia appropriation bill for construction people exposed to people people exposed to the Government reservation at Rosslyn, Virginia. The Freelhuysen resolution is in the Committee on the Judiciary. Senator Freelhuysen expects it to be reported out before adjournment and it comes it up by unanimous consent. Opposition to the construction of a jim-crow bathing beach on the Virginia side of the Potomac by Senators Swanson and Glass, Democrat of Virginia, and Senator McCain, apply for the District of Columbia to be sent back to committee. It is understood that the provision for the location of this beach in Virginia will be used for its location will be left to the District engineers. DEMOCRATS CLASH ON FILIBUSTER The filibuster upon the ship subsidy bill has provoked a discussion about the use of such tactics. Charges of inconsistency in respect to the position taken by certain Democratic Senators on the anti-lynching bill and the attitude of the shipping bill. And strang as it may seem, Senators Underwood, Democrat of Alabama, and Harrison, Democrat of Mississippi, leaders in the discussion of the anti-lynching bill, are opposed to indulgence in the same tactics against the shipping bill, altho they are against the subsidy. In explaining his vote against a man who displace the shipping bill temporarily, Senator Underwood stated that the shipping bill by indirection" and this brought the retort from Senator McCain, that the Senator from Alabama was inconsistent. Senator Underwood argued that an opportunity should be given for a vote on the measure after a consensus was reached in the bill of the majority should be placed on the statue books. He attempted to draw a distinction between the anti-lynching bill and the shipping bill on the ground that the former is more important for the security of human liberty and Government, while the latter was purely an economic question. HITCHCOCK SURPRISED AT POSITION Senator. Hitchcock professed surprise at the position of the Alabama Senator. He pointed out that in the filibuster against the antitrust law, he Understood "fount," practically everything that came before the.

O. BOX 309 GREENVILLE, N. C. J. T. PINE, Proprietor V. M. PRICE, Manager More Citizens Tell Greenville, N. C.—There should be organized a Good Order Society with branches in different parts of the city, with mothers and teachers as managers. The meetings should be weekly or every ten days. The meetings should be of a social character; short addresses should be made by the attendants at the meetings. Little money should be taken up at the meetings to buy literature of a helpful nature to the society, which should be distributed to the members free. The influence Mothers and Teachers exert upon the young element (By Dr. W. M. Capehart) The fireside is where we receive our first impressions which impressions, in a large measure, determine the character of the individual boy or girl. If our impressions are good so will be our character and vice versa. On mothers, since they have the greater responsibility in shaping and molding the child's early life, rest the greater responsibility. It is they who make the first impressions on the child's life which are not to be effaced even by time itself for they are indelible. Good and wholesome thoughts and good actions are the fruits of good impressions. When our mothers become to realize the importance of their responsibilities they will not hesitate to throw around their boys and girls the most wholesome environments possible. Teachers too have a part of importance next to that of the mother. She, though handicapped in many instances, has a great influence over the child's life. Be who she is as the case may be whose duty it is to train or finish training the child intellectually, morally, and spiritually, thereby enabling him to become good citizens of this our commonwealth.

Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Norfolk, Ga. FEBRUARY 24, 1923 The problem for the South is not so much to curb the immigration North as it is to eliminate the parking places for race prejudice South. Now Dean William Pickens, field secretary of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People and associate editor of the radical Messenger, has joined Rev. Percy Stickey Grant in declaring that he does not believe a lot of things in the Scriptures which most of us believe. If you don't believe a thing you can't prove you waste time in trying to undermine the faith of those who do believe and who despise you for trying to rob them of the faith that comforts them. Controversy over matters of faith begin nowhere and end nowhere, and always do more harm than good. Former Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, writing in the Memphis Daily Commercial Appeal, on the proposal of the Daughters of the Con federacy to build a monument to "their Colored Mammies," among other things, says: "There were other slaves and other black friends, just as dear to others as Reuben was and is to me. The Reuben faithful to death. Can't we have a little race and a little more just to a race that gave us our Reubens and mammies? Can't we help it a little more to right living and thinking? Make the way a little more sure, the black feet to tread in the long and tolsome road on which they are journeying?" The Negro in Politics The Durham (N. C.) Morning Herald says. "The Negro race, acting as a unit, is one of the its own progress and the progress of the political party it espouses. The thing for the Negro to do is to get out of politics as a body, an organization, regardless of partisanship. The Negro will never be able to put over special legislation as a race issue. It will have to find its way and seek whatever relief rightly and seek through one of the old parties." That is as fair a statement of the cas as can be made. Now, if the Durham Morning Herald will advocate that Negroes be allowed to participate in Democratic as well as Republican publics, we shall be in a position to follow the way it indicates. The primary laws of the State should contain such a provision. When they do not, and either party is free to proscribe Negro voters from participating in them, or when both parties so proscribe them, as in Virginia, they are to all intents and purposes disbarred from voting for the candidates of either. They can't vote for them without sanctioning their party exclusion from participation in the primary, in which persons are nominated for office and without a primary nomination cannot be voted for, unless they do so as a party by themselves, which is no more to be commended than the banding of white voters together for the purpose of nominating only white persons for office. We believe that the suffrage business will work out in the long run in justice and fairness to all the citizens concerned, and without constraining Negro citizens to segregate themselves into a party of their own or by sacrificing their self-respect in order to exercise the high right of voting, so that their lives and property may be properly safeguarded, and which neither the Republican nor Democratic parties does now safeguard. Effective Co-Operation No better demonstration of co-operation of members of a community could be desired than the quality of working together which has marked the efforts of Norfolk citizens to carry through the plans of the city school board to begin immediately the erection of a building with sufficient seating capacity and equipment to meet the present pressing needs of the colored school population. There has been little diversity of opinion on the necessity and desirable of the building. School board, members of council city manager, business men, civic organizations, large private and corporate taxpayers and the press are all agreed that the colored children need the school and should have it as a matter of right and principle. The dissent that for a time seemed to jeopardize the whole project was prompted by an expressed desire to suspend, for the present, capital expenditures from the city treasury in order to hold to its present level the city tax rate. Having passed only one reading, the ordinance able, it is now reasonable to hope that all objections to the project have been cleared up and the school board will be able to proceed immediately with its plans. The manner in which many influential elements of the citizenship rallied to the support of the school board challenges the -admission. Press, pulpit, organizations and individuals united in a strong drive upon City Hall for what all believed to be an essential improvement which was about to be aborted by financial exigencies less important in their real lives. A majority of Council still holds, and it appears, properly so, that the school can be provided for without any serious disturbance to the city's finances or present tax rate. The agitation for the school, set in motion by the sudden appearance of strong actual and potential opposition, has brought out many interesting revelations. It has revealed the Norfolk school board as being solidly in favor of one of the most constructive programs ever promulgated anywhere in the South for Negro education. It has revealed to the colored citizens many strong friends—some old ones and some new ones, and some manifestations of friendship from unexpected sources. These friends have placed the colored citizens under renewed obligations to them. They afforded an opportunity to show some respect for prejudice cannot be capitalized so handily as it used to. Members of the council who voted at first to approve the board's recommendation for an ordinance refused to be stamped into reversing themselves by a well-organized movement intended to make them do so purely on the grounds of race. It has revealed again that the splendid daily press of the city is right at heart on all important questions. One of the strongest levers in advancing the cause of the proposed school to its present favorable status has been the clear, convincing, able editorial support rendered by the community, the colored people, themselves, it has revealed that spontaneous co-operation brings results. Altogether the situation is rather encouraging. There is every reason to believe that the progress thus far attained in the school project will be crowned with complete success. Aggravated Discrimination In commenting upon the colorized school question the Verginian-Pilo stated a fact that is generally accepted when it said that "it is impossible for Southern cities—reasons being well understood and not worth explaining—to hold the scale of school advantage meticulously balanced as between the two races." The colored citizens accept, as a basis of mutual understanding; but with reasonable exceptions noted, the theory that they are to receive school apportionments relative to basis. They do not conceive a relation between the accepted theory the contention of components of the new school, as expressed in Wednesday's Ledger-Dispatch, that "the problem at the moment is not what the city ought to do for its colored children, but what it can do without subjecting itself to grave and justified criticism." The city has spent millions within the past two or three years in improving its public works and in new school buildings for the white children. It has recently completed two white junior high schools that cost approximately a million dollars. It has spent additional sums, running into the hundreds of thousands upon its white elementary schools, until there is only a very small proportion of white children doing part time work. It has also spent money without outstint or complaint among the schools, and no sensible colored person begrudges the white children what they have received. The tax rate has been raised considerably, and even if the proposed colored school is not built, opponents of it claim that it will be necessary to raise taxes 10 cents more, which will affect the colored people in common with the white, but while the whites will be receiving additional educational benefits to the three or four million dollars as a reward to the colored people, who must bear their relative proportion of the tax burdens, directly and indirectly, will not be receiving any additional educational benefits whatsoever. If, in order to take care of the schools that have already been built for the whites, and the other improvements, it has been necessary to increase the rate, with another increase inevitable, then why not add 2 or 3 cents more to the increase and give the colored children what they are just entitled to under the accepted system of relative apportionments, even though the ratio is maintained at 50 to 8, as established by school board figures? That is the proper thing to do unless the city wants its established policy of discrimination to remain in aggravated form. Accepting the theory that the city is going to discriminate in favor of its white children, and conceding it; accepting as sound that although it is not, that those who pay most of the taxes are entitled to benefit most by them, we still have a case of disparity entirely out of proportion to what is reasonably expected as a matter of established custom. After the city has found it advantageous and expedient to carry out an elaborate program of improvement and expansion of its public utilities, including the expenditure of several millions of dollars for additional schools for the white population, the colored citizens and the friends of education generally, cannot accept as being consistent with justice, fair play or good business the contention that the city cannot extend its expenditures a half million further to provide educational facilities for a very large element of its population which has been conspicuously neglected in expenditures already made. Temper of the Garveyites Commenting upon the well-known disposition of the Marcus Garvey followers to be intolerant of criticism, or news that is not favorable to them, the National Hewald (Norfolk) says: "We deplore with much regret the arising misunderstanding of some people with respect to news matter and the opinion of the editor, as recent press notices published in our local contemporary Garvey Movement, have occasioned." "Threats of suits and dive happenings may occasion serious consequences and be harmful to any movement for either association, association thugism and similar methods are employed to make other people, ignorant and intelligent alike, swallow their isms, then Virginia is not the place for such a colony and it should be made aware of no such license is issued here." We have tried to reason with the Garvey people, but we have found ourselves unable to do so. We have tried to point out to some of their local leaders the difference between news and editorial opinion but they still look the same to a Garvey disciple. An article printed on the front page might as well be printed in the editorial columns, so as a Garveyite is concerned. The editor is, in their opinion, the author of and sponsor for it. So we have become weary of trying to reason with them. We have decided to go on and print the news, when it is favorable to the Garvey movement, and when it is not. They are going to fume and fuss and slander all who do not agree with them anyhow. That has been not only our experience, but the experience of every Negro newspaper that has tried to publish both sides of the Garvey question. It is interesting in this connection to note that an increasing number of race papers are putting their condemnation upon the bullying, threatening tactics of the Garvey klan. The Newport News Star recently had the following to say: "When people get to the point where they cannot tolerate honest difference they ought to be suppressed. A great deal of the trouble the Negro is having in his schemes is due to such irresponsible demagogues and blatherskites as Marc Garvey has gathered together in his schemes to flich money from the pockets of his unsophisticated followers and sympathizers, and many others differ or onose their schemes is roundly cursed and marked." Outspoken disapproval of attempts to subsidize or muzzle the press like the above expression by Editor Lewis is bound to carry considerable weight with thinking people. There are still a few newspapers that lend encouragement to such methods as are complained of by the Herald and the Star. Such newspapers, not able, perhaps, to win public favor on their merits, are not encouraged to pander to the Garvey movement. But no paper worth the name will encourage lawlessness, the suppression of free speech and free thinking. No paper can do so and remain in public confidence and favor. Briefs and Spices A race diplomat is a member who prays for us individually and preys upon us, collectively. Between unofficial observers and plain folks with a strong imagination the "varmint" reported in Churchland might be a real animal after all. "The Shalt Not Pass," seems to include: The Dyer Bill, Soldier Bonus, Ship Subsidy and "What Not." P. S.—"What Not" means in this instance not what pleases the masses but the preferred classes. "Do not bend the pregnant hinges of their knees," an excerpt from an editorial in the, Washington Eagle. How's that far a triumph of expression over language? From the way present day politicians convincingly state that they will do just the things before election and don't after being elected remind us of the fact that George Washington never told a lie and forces us to assume that he was a poor politician. Like King Tutankhamen, John Barleycorn three thousand years hence, may become a front page story after being unearthed on some wealthy prohibitionist's villa.

Princess Anne Ave. and Church St. C. H. ACKISS, Assistant. NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE Good Suggestion for Improving Community Spirit Editor Norfolk Journal and Guide: May I add my endorsement to your editorial advocating the "Community Spirit." All of the movements now existing for the uplift and progress of the race, the business institutions, charitable organizations as well as the churches and their auxiliaries have their pieces in the scheme life among the people, and should turn to the community with the other for the good of the service rendered the public. To my mind there should be an association composed of the officers of our Y. M. C. A., our Y. W. C. A., our Travelers Aid Society, our Community Center, our Hospital, our organizations for the purpose of mutual helpfulness. This organization would make no attempt as an organization to raise money for the respective services, but would serve to promote a spirit of co-operation and to keep the public informed about these different organizations and the need of such work in the community. The spirit of "my work is the only one that deserves consideration," and the throwing of cold water on what the other yellow is doing should be avoided. All of us all know that these different efforts are needed in the community and that the service they render the people is important and absolutely necessary to our welfare, ought to make it worth to keep them before the public in such a way that they can use the usefulness of any one of them. Certainly this spirit of co-operation among the churches, and business men of the city, as well as among the professional men and women have demonstrated its importance, and I believe such co-operation among the promoters of our other organizations as above named would prove of lasting benefit to our other movements for the public good. Very truly yours, WILBUR A. DRAKE, M. D. Norfolk, Va. C. S. MORRIS SWAYS GEORGIA AUDIENCE Thousands Hear Norfolk Orator in Monster Mass Meeting in Augusta, Ga. Augusta, Ga.—Facing a vast audience in the Tabernacle Baptist Church Wednesday evening, Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., delivered what a host of people demand: the most eloquent and brilliant address heard from a platform in this city. For more than an hour and a half the celebrated Virginia orator held the great host of people in the very palm of his hand. A moment later as he would reach some sweeping oratorical climax the readings of his auditors would be released in a wave of applause. A monster chorus of fifty voices rendered old plantation melodies, Negro jubilees and spirituals, while later the crowd joined in singing a jubilee armed the atmosphere and prepared the way for the distinquished orator. Introduced by Silas X. Floyd, well known Augusta minister as "The forerunner of a new day, the hope of a race," the speaker was tendered a mighty ovation when he arose to address the crowd. "Hour Has Come." The young Virginia spokesman entered into the delivery of an address that proved him a master of the platform and in a class all by himself. Augusta has heard orators before but brought the distinguished young Virginia last year to question the most dispassionate, sane and logical ones ever heard here and without question the most eloquent that has ever stirred an assembly in this city. A great ovation was accorded to the close by white and colored citizens. Many persons heard him as well as hundreds of our white winter visitors who pronounced him an orator without a peer. Mr. Morris will return to Norfolk this week in a meeting and will address the Army on the 11th, under auspices of the Norfolk Lyeum Association. 184 YOUNG WOMEN FIND WITHIN THREE MONTHS That the Phyllis Wheatly Branch of the Y. W. C. A. is an active and live organization, its city may be gleaned from an interment of its activities appearing under the head of Blue Triangle Notes elsewhere in this paper. The account shows that in the three months from November to December, inclusive, 184 girls found employment through the Branch. In November 58 years of work, and secured work, in December the number was 66 and in January it was 66. The organization has outlined and put on foot an ambitious program for work among girls this year and from now on way in which it is planned to handle, the work it is assured of good results. Wednesday night, February 28, at the Y. W. C. A. rooms, 416 Cumberland street, a very unique entertainment will be given by the World Fellowship Committee. A special pro-gram will be given by Dr. J.

HOLY TEMPLE Services at Holy Temple Sunday were well attended and a day of splendid worship was spent. Rev. Connie pleased three able sermons were full of vigor, zeal and spirit. He spoke from the theme, "Robbing God." He spoke this sermon truths that will make for far: better living if heeded. At night he came back with a new message from Proverbs, 6:6; he spoke to shaggy consider his ways and be wise; he vice climaxed the whole day's worship. The illustrations and the fervor with which he spoke gave his hearers relief and filled them with strong spirit and greater service for the Lord. This extends a standing invitation to the public to attend its services. ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH Services on Sunday were very inspiring. The large attendance at the school and at the morning service was an extremely cold morning was quite a challenge. Dr. John A. Gregg, president of Wilberforce University, addressed the school and delivered a masterly sermon on "Wisdom and Understanding," at 11 a.m. He visit to Norfolk will be rehearsed for sometime to come. At 7:30 the school delivered a most effective sermon, "Son Remember," Luke 16:25. This music was furnished by a Male Choir The Junior League, under the direction of Mrs. Mamie L. Morris, Supt. had a fine attendance. There marked improvement in the work. The Senior League had a Citizenship meeting held by Attorney V. C.

On next Sunday the meeting will be conducted by the Mrs. Osborne related incidents that deeply impressed her when she addressed the students at the mid-winter commencement exercises at Booker T. Washington high school during the early part of the month. She said the zeal of the colored children for an education and the sincere appreciation of her presence among them impressed her greatly. Mrs. Frank Anthony Walker asked council to appropriate the money to build the school. She told of her ten work among colored people and of their aspirations for a higher citizenship. Dr. C. R. Grandy, chairman of the school board with figures showing the great disparity between the development of colored schools and white schools in the city for the last ten years, set an able argument for the school. He set up that with the completion of white schools under construction every white girl in the city will have the opportunity to acquire training in domestic science, and the Princess Anne avenue school proposed to give every colored girl in the city the same opportunity. The vote on the measure was the same as that of the week, recommending the ordinance of the Griffin and Roper voted in opposition Councilmen Martin, Herbert and Butler voted in the affirmative.

If there is any person in Norfolk who does not know that the Standard Shoe Store at 239 Church street is celebrating its 100th anniversary sale by producing an anniversary sale on shoes that person has probably let pass an opportunity to get "shod up" at a very economical cost. The sale has attracted any number of buyers who were fortunate enough to know of the sale and wise enough to take advantage of it. Shoes marked to sell at standard prices have marked down to sale figures and the demand for them has been steady. Messrs. Manson and Simpson are in charge of the store and the owners. Their interest in their trade and their business is personal. They go with: every pair of shoes purchased at their store. A purchase at Standard Shoe Store is backed with the integrity of these two well known gentlemen and the fact that they are able to now celebrate their own Christmas street is eloquent testimony of their square business methods and the public confidence they enjoy. Brownie Club BREEZES Conducted By MIRIAM DIXON TO BROWNIES TO BROWNIES Beek-a-boo is sick in bed and can not write much now. Have patience and keep up the good work. Peek-a-boo will have lots to say when he gets up. Hannah's Millions (Continued from Last Week) Gatesville is a small town, twenty miles out from the state's largest city. When our Brownies were carrying the evening papers from the post office, they caught sight of the following advertisement, "$100 reward for information leading to the return of a dark grey limousine, 1922 model, stolen January first. "If we could find that auto Hannah, we'd be in luck." "Let's try, answered his partner." "Try what? Don't you know that car is clean out of reach of this community 'fore now?' "I don't know James, thieves are tricky, some times they hide until the hubbub has ceased and then they make a clean get-a-way. That is worth working for. Let's watch every automobile that comes down the plaza and every new car that comes to town." "Yes, Hannah,'cause I read in the paper where a thief painted over the car and choked the license before selling it. First thing, let's write the and find out something else about that car, the make and whether it was a loud sounder or not." The children could not wait for the full information and when it came they went into every angle of it. One would have thought them to be real live detectives. They took special notice of every car that passed that way and kept a record of all new cars purchased by the owners of Gatesville. They could have told you the exact make and sound of every car owned for about a mile. Nothing turned up, however, and when February 28th, passed they were ready to give up detecting. "Guess who bought a new car today wife? Our friend, farmer Jones up Demp Crawway, 'How do you?' Well, he called up today and told me he'd like to take us spinning Sunday Prettiest little thing you ever saw, and cheap too," said Mr. Brown. "I hope we can get a car by spring." The children playing by the fire became interested as soon as car was mentioned and caught every word, and the following Sunday when Mr. Jones rode up in the yard with a nice new car, shining all over with new paint, they were the first to meet him and say, "You talk Hannah, while I inspect," said Henry and sure enough, he did inspect that car. It had the sound and the make and the shape but the color was a deep red. Henry scratched off some of the paint and thought he detected a faint grey underneath. He will let him enjoy it today Hannah, but if its our car we must wire the owner tomorrow and get the reward." "What will your father say Henry? I'm scared." "That's all right, this Agency can't afford to lose a hundred dollars on account of friendship, and too, we must do a good deed whenever we can both for a Brownie and others." The car proved to be the right one and $75.00 was thereby added to the capital of the Financial Agency "We will be able to look for a profitable investment soon Henry; Whatever that is. HOW TWO CHILDREN BECAME BROWNIES (Minotta Miller) Once upon a time there were two little children, whose names were Margaret and Virginia. Their father had gone to work and their mother had gone downtown. It was snowing and they wanted to make a snow man. Their mother told them not to go far because they were not good children. Their mother tried to get them to join the club, but they would not. They used to play pranks on everyone and do all the bad things they could think of. One day their mother became very sick and the children were very sad. When they went to bed a little Brownie came to them and said, "Be not afraid, your mother will get well," and then he disappeared. They saw him and decided to write the Brownie Club. Ever since they have been good children and doing good deeds. MISS DIGGS WEDDED TO MR. R. H. VALENTINE Petersburg, Va. "The home of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. John B.

OF BEST FULLBACKS "Plug" was one of the best of the best kicking fullbacks I ever saw. I have known him to be tackled and kick the pigskin 55 yards. He could kick from any angle and always kept his head. After, the Columba team had disbanded actively, I do not believe the team played as a whole again. WHEN FOUR MEN BEAT HAMPTON TIGERS. PETER B. "Bob" Scott, the all-round football and baseball player, who was at one time a star of Howard, was working at the Old Hygiae hotel at Old Point. He was a splendid catcher and a mighty tough man physically. "Wash" Stewart, "Ham" Williams, John Butts and I played on the baseball team, but in the fall months returned home. Scott was a fixture at the hotel and remained there the year round. Durant was a star of the baseball team which was composed of waiters who had never done anything more strenuous than to wait and eat. The Hampton Tigers, with Burrell Poindexter, Steve Matthews, Henry Orange and others, represented what was then one of the hardest local teams we ever met. Scott's team was defeated each time they met the Tigers and he came to Norfolk and asked Phil Scott, "Plug" Carter and myself to play against them in the next game. With only four football players, the two Scott's, "Plug" and the writer, we played the Tigers off their feet. Having no signals or time to practice them we would work them out between ourselves. With the ball Hartley had to play for right end, we a fake play for right end and I made a touchdown through left. In an instant every man of the Hygeia team standing was a target for blows from the fists of our defeated and maddened rivals. Several sported black eyes, but we won, 4 to 0. ORIGIN OF LANCASTER SOCIAL CLUB It was during the time when Norfolk was in the Eastern League that this, one of the most prominent social clubs in the city was formed. The Lancaster team from that city in Pennsylvania was here. From the old St. Clairs team I named the Lancasters. The follow- Adams To Lead Union's Batsmen (Br. C. I. WASHINGTON JR.) (B. C. L. WASHINGTON, JR.) Richmond, Va.—At a recent meeting of last year's baseball letter men, E. H. Adams was elected to direct the destinies of this year's diamond aggregation. Adams, the diminutive shortstop who enacted a sensation in inter-collegiate circles by his hang-up cavorting around the infield position last season, was chosen captain by a large majority. News that can be garnered from the Southern Stove League is to the effect that Union's squad, inter-collegiate champions of last year, have the nucleus of a team that will again win top honors in the basegall arena. The team's players will also sport the steel and red uniforms and indications point to the fact that several newcomers may give the oldtimers a speedy race for the berths on the Varsity nine. A. & T. Schedule For Baseball Season (By WILLIAM P. KELLY) Greenboro, N. C.-Coach Byamn is busy day and night working out his practice schedule. Various systems will be worked in order to enable him to reach all. Practice has already begun indoors. The battery department has about fifteen men to select from and much of the new material looks promising. Among those looking outstanding is Colson a long, long, long, long, long, long fellow, who seems to be about seven feet tall and has lots of "stuff." A nucleus of about seven later men is on hand from which a great fighting machine is hoped to be turned out. The Southern colleges have a number of good men that really can play ball and have been overlooked. Is it a matter of lack of sufficient scouts on the field, or is it that we don't have the teams to employ these men? North Carolina has had some fine material—as good as can be found in any state in the Union. Why not look such men over as Long, who cantered around the shortfield for A. and T. College, while Bell as a receiver was hard to beat. Livingstone, J. C. Smith, Shaw and a score of others have had good men. Why not send out scouts to look the college boys over? C. I. Taylor was a college product of North Carolina. Although not yet complete, the proposed schedule follows: March 9, High Point Normal at Greensboro; Mar. 14, A. and T., at J. C. Smith, Charlotte; Mr. 15, A. & T., at High Point Normal. High VARIGATED BILL AT PORTSMOUTH COLONIAL Portsmouth College Theatre offers at movie devotees a varigated bill of popular productions for next week. This playhouse is showing on the screens some of the best pictures filmed. Monday it presents Gloria Swanson in "Don't Tell Everything." Tuesday, "A Rogue's Romance." Wednesday, "A Better Man." Thursday, William DeMille's superb production, "What: Every Woman Knows," "Radio King," "Leather Pushers," and "His Enemy's Friends," follow thru the week. "THORNS AND ORANGE BLOSOSMS" AT WELLS "Thorns and Orange Blossoms," wil inhold at the Wells Theatre for the first three days of the week followed by, Lon Chaney in, "A Blind Bargain," and Larry Semon in, "No Weding Bells," the remainder of the week. The Royal Garden Orchestra ling names comprised the players Cornelius Haynes, J. M. Harrison pitchers; William Bailey, John Johnson, J. Woodhouse and Ed. Nottingham, catchers and the other positions were filled by these men: William "Duck" Davis, George and John Lynier, Miles Paige, Gus Johnson, Phili'c Scott, Caulbert Sparrow, Sam "Crook" Keeling, Otis Harrison, Bob Wilson, Alton Harrison, William Ford, and Arthur Qurell. I am not sure, but think that it was on either the Skelairs or the Browns, one of the best colored pitches in the game and one of the few men to pitch no hit, no run games started his career. I caught the first game he pitched. The feat that Dan pulled off was against one of the International League teams. BEAT CUBAN X GIANTS It was while "Ham" Williams and I were members of the Hygiea team that we beat the famous Cuban X. Giants, with such great colored stars as Frank Grant, (former second baseman) for Buffalo N. Y. white league, Clarence Williams, Sol White, the Jackson brothers and Selden. It was in the first inning of the game. "Ham" having held them scoreless. There were three Hygiea men on bases and Selden had the count of two and three on me. He sent a floater to me, but I caught it on the nose, clearing the left field fence and landing in the creek back of the ball grounds on the Soldiers' Home grounds. Those four runs cinched the game and we had the satisfaction of defeating the best colored team of that day and time. "Ham" was later taken to New York with the Giants and later on at Atlantic City, N. J. I joined the Giants when Sol White had them in charge. Few of the youngsters of today can even by a stretch of the imagination, believe that most of the games we played when boys were in Ghent, then called Debree, Back of the diamond was one of the tributaries of Elizabeth river, where before an affair with the would swim. In Brambleton was the old "old water pond" where white and colored boys used to fight and take their ablutions. "Staylor's Lot" was another rendezvous for us. It ran from the center of Pulaski school to where the white school is located to the east side of Landing street where we used to catch gudgeons. —To be continued next Week.

JONES) Hampton, Va., Feb.—For the third time in as many years the fast Morehouse College quintet administered an overwhelming defeat to the Hampton institute cagers. Never before was the team so overwhelming or so thoroughly administered as it was on February 17. The Southerners took the lead from the beginning. Never, were they in danger of losing it. They played a clean, fast and hard-fought game. In some places it could be termed "flashy." Bailey, Gayles and Sykes were brilliant players. "Bailey collected eighteen points, ten of which were from the free-throw' line; Gayles made ten and Sykes eight. Hampton's team is largely made up of inexperienced men, Hampton, after a wild night. This was her first big game at home this season. Long passing, long shooting, and the need for someone to shoot fouls, added greatly to her downfall. "Clet" Jonus was Hampton's bright player. This youngster caged four from the floor before he was removed from the game. The final score was: 'Morehouse, 45; Hampton, 20.

Feb—Before an audience of approximately 1000 people Hampton Institute defeated the Roanoke All-City Five in a closely contested and cleanly played game. The first half ended with a score of 6–5 in Hampton's favor, and it seemed as if the "A. C's" had the advantage over the "Seasiders." In the second half Hampton found will render the music at this house all the week. The screen productions are thrillers, full of life and fascination. Popular prices will prevail. "THE SCHEMERS," ON THE SCREEN AT THE STAR "The Schemers," at the Star Theatre, 815 Church street, next week. This is a Real production with an all-star colored cast and will be shown on the screens Tuesday. Lawrence Chenault, Eddie Brown, Ralph Pollock and Schinze Moore appear in the cast. The "Schemers," is a tremendous production and attracts thousands wherever shown. Thrilling western features mingled with side-splitting comedy, make up the week's bill at the star. "Radio King," "The Raider," "Six Shooter Justice," are among the offerings. Every Friday is family day at the Star when all children under twelve years old will be admitted free if accompanied by an adult. 10 Small Chance of Match Being Staged in This Country; Prejudice Strong. By MORRIS BROWN (Special Correspondent) New York, N. Y., Feb. Gotham is today wagering that Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills will never fight in the United States for the heavy-weight championship of the world. The color question and petty politics are the disgusting reasons for this prediction. **FEAR NATIONAL LAW** All are agreed that Harry Wills is the logical contender for Dempsey's crown. He stands at the top of the list of challengers. But Wills is a Negro—a Brown Panther—and there is ever present the absurdity that a mixed bout will react against boxing. It is even hinted in pugilistic circles that word has come from Washington to lay off the staging of a Dempsey-Wills fight, although it is one scrap the public wants. Proofs that a national law against boxing is as lawful as the reformers are ever busy. Consequently, Tex Rickard hesitates and others dare not rush in where he fears to tread. Yet Wills is not without friends who are willing and ready to go to the mat for him. The remarkable edict of William Muldoon, chairman of the New York boxing commission, barring a Dempsey-Wills bout in New York state on the subterfuge that commercialism to too great an extent would enter into such a contest, has resulted in State Senator Walker, the father of the boxing law, stating unequivocally that if Wills is barred of a chance at the title on account of his color, he will work to bring about a repeal of the whole boxing law. EUROPE SEEMS ONLY HOPE Notwithstanding the age limit fixed by the New York boxing commission, the commission reverses itself in the case of Jess Willard and gives the Kansan permission to meet Floyd Johnson, youthful aspirant, on May 12. The proceeds, save $25,000 for each fighter, will be given to charity. Jess Willard—over-age, but white—is given a chance to stage a comeback. Harry Wills—unquestionably the logical opponent for Jack Dempsey, but brown-skinned—must. wait; and unless Europe calls, the color question in America and politics will deny Harry Wills a chance to wrest the heavyweight crown from Jack Dempsey. her stride, and with her famous "comeback spirit" proceeded to clamp the game. The final score was: Roanoke, 10; Hampton, 18. LINE-UP HAMPTON, 18 ROANOKE, 10 McNichols, R. F. Payne Jones, C. L. F. Hayden Cardozo, C. Burrell Gunn, R. G Steptoe Langton, L. G.
