LOVE QUADRANGLE ENDS IN WIFE MURDER Local Preacher Convicted of Running House of Ill Fame PREACHED, AND RENTED ROOMS AS A SIDE LINE PREACHED, AND RENTED ROOMS AS A SIDE LINE Rev. C. B. Creecy Informed the Police of Vice Conditions at Lincoln Hotel When He Was Former Manager. AND GETS HIMSELF INTO A FINE LOT OF TROUBLE Rev. C. B. Creecy is not a member of the Tidewater Baptist Ministers' Conference, according to information given out by officials of that body, neither does he hold any pastorate in this city. When the Lincoln Hotel, an apartment house located between Chapel and Pulaski streets, was raided some time last week, and numerous couples faced the police court charged with lewd and lascivious living together, evidence was produced to show that Norfolk had a colored "House of David" in its midst. "Vav" (?) C. B. Creecy, who has figured in the police court before and who had lost his position as manager of the house, informed the police, after losing his job, of conditions existing there. Upon his information Sergeant Hatton and several officers raided the place finding men and en together in rooms at the trial Spindle was convinced that the informer knew then was good for himself, and while testifying as an informer was himself placed on the court by the judge who issued a bench warrant, charging the informer with maintaining a place resorted to for the purpose of prostitution. VICTIMS FINES SUSPENDED The fines against several of the victims of Crecy's duplicity were suspended, and the worm turned. Crecy's name was placed on the dock, and after two continuances, was heard Tuesday. Men of native and foreign birth testified that the "Reverend" had rented rooms to couples, taking the door and turning them out later. Mr. Anderson, of the Anderson Auction Company, owner of the house, said that he had heard of many complaints against the alleged preacher before discharging him. There were about 15 witnesses excluding one, lice, who testified in an informer had carried on lively business of the Creecy, on the other hand, spoke of his Christian character and lainted at a "frame-up." PLACE HAD BAD REPUTATION While it is said the place in question has been notorious for many years, under the alleged preacher's administration things became worse. After hearing the evidence in the case Spindle was convinced that the alleged "Man of God" was engaged in prescribing, and as a side line running in full blast a house of prostitution. A sentence of 30 days and a $50 fine was the verdict, from which Creecy, through his attorney, J. S. Hall, appealed. Detective Dickens, who claims he gave Crecy S2 some time ago to purchase whiskey for use as evidence said that from that day to the present, the "Reverend" has been as elusive as the proverbial Irish flea. 2ND ANNUAL COLORED FAIR SEPTEMBER 12-15 Promises To Be Bigger And Better in Every Way This Year; Big Amusements Booked. It has been officially announced that the second annual Colored Agricultural and Industrial Fair will be held at the Greater Norfolk Fair Grounds September 12 to 15. This news will be hailed with delight by the thousands of patrons who attended the fair last year, as well as by those who failed to attend, because they did not realize the vast and interesting features comprising this new enterprise for our people. The Fair this year will be bigger and better in every way and the management plans to put on some very large and interesting exhibits in all departments and took some of the biggest outdoor amusement attractions that will be obtained among the colored professional performers. The speed contests, enjoyed so much by all who attended last year, will be maintained on the program arranged for this year with an additional string of fast horses from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Kentucky. The officers of Norfolk's Colored Fair Association are as follows: Dr. A. L. Paay, president; W. J. Kemp, vice-president; Dr. J. Q. A. Webb, vice-president and C. A. Palmer, secretary-treasurer; R. H. Cross, man- Hospital Will Have A Colored Personnel Strenuous objections raised by white Alabamians, especially Governor Brandon, and white Southerners in general, to the manning of the new Negro World War veterans hospital at Tuskegee Institute with a colored medical and executive staff, were of no avail. The hospital will have a colored personnel. Writing to Berlert Seligman of York, Secretary Christian says: "Your communication . . . has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of the Tuskegee Hospital is well under way. It is the plan of the director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel. It is not an easy task to perfect such organization under the limitations of the civil service, but the program is being worked out in a most gratifying and encouraging way. The Tuskegee experiment is going to afford the trained representatives of the colored race to give proof of their capacity and efficiency in a highly important public service." "GO TO HIGH SCHOOL, GO TO COLLEGE" CALL Drive On To Persuade Parents To Keep Their Boy and Girl Graduates In School. Washington, D. C.—"Go to High School—Go to College," is the message being delivered this week to the colored students of America by the members and friends of the Alpha Phi Fraternity. Starting with the observance of Educational Sunday, April 29th, and continuing through the week with conferences with parents, teachers and students, and with visits to homes and special communications to leaders asking co-operation, this educational campaign will end in a great mass meeting in the various large cities of the country on Sunday, May 6th, at which addresses will be made by outstanding educational leaders. This year marks the fourth annual campaign to spread the gospel of "Go to High School—Go to College" among the youth of our race. From all indications, this important message will be carried to every State in the Union as there are now some 45 chapters of the Alpha Phi Alpha with members in practically every city of importance in the United States. The goal of the Fraternity is to reach over three million parents and students with fundamental message regarding the need of education. The Zeta Lambda chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, which has a large membership through the Tidewater cities is making an intensive personal appeal to parents of graduates this year of the school of Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, Suffolk, and vicinity to make herculean sacrifices, if need to be to continue the education of their children. A personal letter will be put in the hands of every parent of graduates from grammar and high schools directing their attention to the paramount necessity of keeping the child in school. A request was made of both Baptist Memorial Associations of this city at their last meeting that the ministers promote interest in the cause of education at this particular time by preaching special sermons the subject in their churches. The same request was made on the Methodist minister. All have promised their support of the "Go to high school, go to college movement" either through special sermons Sunday or addresses. This method will be pursued only in this city but through Tidewater. out Tidewater. Public mass meetings will be dispensed with this year and the appeal carried direct to the parent. Educational talks will be given to the eighth grades of all grammar schools and to the seniors in the high schools.

MOORE AT HIS DURHAM HOME DEATH CLAIMS DR. A. M. MOORE AT HIS DURHAM HOME President of And One of The Pioneers in Organizing North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company Ends Career. RACE LOSES ONE OF ITS MOST VALUED CITIZENS Durham, N. C.—Dr. Aaron MeDuffie Moore, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N. C., the largest Negro business company in the world, and incidentally the strongest Negro business enterprise in America, died at his home in this city, Sunday, April 29, at 12:30 p.m. Dr. Moore had been ailing for more than a year but only recently did it appear to his family and friends that he had suffered a breakdown from which he probably would never recover. With the passing of Dr. Aaron McDuffie Moore the race has lost one of its saintest, strongest and ablest men. There has not been a movement in North Carolina for the betterment of the race within the last thirty years with which Dr. Moore has not been directly or indirectly connected. His contact, in this state, with the large economic enterprises of the race has always been helpful and fruitful. Dr. Moore's activities are all the more remarkable when his life's history is recalled. A NATIVE OF NORTH CAROLINA He was born on September 6th, 1863, in Columbus County, North Carolina at a place then called Rosindale. He was one of ten children, all of whom worked on the farm and went to the country school between the harvesting and planting seasons. For three years after completing the course of study provided by the country school Aaron Moore taught in a country school himself. He realized, however, his limited education and returned to school as a student entering the Whiting Normal School at Lumberton and the next venue, Normal School at Fayetteville, N.C. After completing his term at the last named school he was called home by his father, who needed his help on the farm. But Aaron Moore was not satisfied to stay home and farm. The next year, 1885, he made another effort to secure a higher education. He went to Shaw University with the determination to enter the college department and become a professor. The medical school was at this time in great need of students. The heads of this department of the University talked with every bright student who appeared at the University, in an effort to secure his enrollment in the medical school. They won Moore over to their side. Matriculated in Leonard Medical College and completed within three years the course of study described for four years. In the end he was a Doctor of Medicine. This same year he came up, along with forty other medical students, thirty of whom were white, the Medical Examiners of the North Carolina. He passed their rigid examination second in rank. Now he was ready to practice medicine and Dr. Moore selected Durham as the seat of his activity. BEGAN HIS PRACTICE For the first ten years he was out in the world Dr. Moore found every minute used with urgent calls to administer to the sick and the afflicted. Along about 1895 he began, however, to find sufficient leisure to think about the development of social and business institutions among the colored people of Durham. From this date on his life was filled with charitable endeavors to promote the welfare of his people. A chronological statement of a few of his major activities will be efficient to prove this statement. sure that Dr. Moore was the leading spirit and the originator of the idea to organize a colored drug store in Durham for the benefit of the citizens and to help colored druggists gain experiences and obtain a place. If never made the choice for the members of the group but did give the colored store of Durham a first class drug store and a young pharmacist an opportunity to use his profession. FORMED INSURANCE CO. In 1896 Dr. Moore and seven other men, notably, John Merrick, came together and formed a Negro Life Insurance Company. This first attempt was unsuccessful and five of the charmers withdrew. 1899—Dr. Moore and Mr. Merrick, believing that a Negro Life Insurance Company could be run started over an and sent for C. C. Spaulding to push the company formed the previous year, which had been the North Carolina Hospital and Provident Association. Dr. Moore turned over one hive to his office space to the Association and served it as Medical Director without any compensation until the Association was well established. FOUNDED LINCOLN HOSPITAL 1901—Lincoln Hospital was found Poor Sunday School Enrollment Alarms Leaders LATE DR. A. M. MOORE ed by Dr. Moore, brought the generosity of the Duke family. It had at first been proposed to put a separate wing on the city hospital for colored patients. Dr. Moore convinced the management that this would not provide facilities for Negro doctors or for the training of colored nurses. John Merrick who was on particularly friendly terms with the Dukes, secured their support and Dr. Moore directed the erection of the Lincoln Hospital, of which he was the Superintendent from the time of its foundation until his death. One of his fondest dreams' was to see the new $150,000.00 hospital building completed. The subscriptions secured for its erection were large, a result of his personal effort and determination to see the citizens of Durham possess every medical attention obtainable in a modern hospital. BECAME A BANKER 1007—The Mechanics and Farmers Bank of Durham was charted. One of its staunch supporters was Dr. Moore. In recognition of his services he was elected to the Board of Directors and to the position of vice-president. 1913—The colored people of Durham had no library. This worried Dr. Moore and caused him great concern. Finally he decided to organize a library in the basement of his church, White Rock Baptist. His personal funds were used to a great extent for the realization of this purpose. But after having secured a fair number of volumes Dr. Moore discovered that due to strong denominational lines the mass of the people would not reach the library. So he moved the library, securing by popular subscription a building devoted to this process, and support for the library from the city and county. Dr. Moore was elected president of the Continued on Page Six.

(The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga.—Something akin to alarming figures concerning the Negro Church was given out by Dr. I. Garland Penn, of Cincinnati, Ohio, corresponding secretary of the Board of Education for Negroes, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, at the commencement exercises of Gammon Theological Seminary held here last week. A party of bishops and education of the Methodist Episcopal Church were here, consisting of Bishops E. G. Richardson, Atlanta Ga.; Wilbur P. Thirkind, Mexico City, Mexico; Dr. William H. Crawford, New York City, president emeritus of Allegheny College; Dean T. F. Holgate, Evanston, Ill., Northwestern University; Dean H. C. Minnich, Oxford, Ohio, Miami University; Dr. John L. Seaton, New York, N. Y., assistant secretary of Board of Education, and Drs. I. Garland Penn and P. J. Mavey, Cincinnati, Ohio, corresponding secretaries of Board of Education for Negroes. The special occasion was the laying of the corner stone of the new administration building and chapel for Gammon. It will be 3 YEAR SENTENCE, VERDICT IN JOHN MITCHELL'S CASE 3 YEAR SENTENCE, VERDICT IN JOHN MITCHELL'S CASE Jury Decides Adversely in Case of President of Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond After a Three Day Hearing. CHARGES AGAINST OTHER DEFENDANTS TO BE TRIED (By wire to Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va., May 3—John Mitchell, Jr., who on Monday April 30th was remanded to jail to await outcome of motion of his counsel for new trial which will be argued May 15th had not up to today been granted bail. (Special To Journal and Guide) Richmond, Va.—After a trial that lasted three days, a jury in Hustings court, Judge D. C. Richardson presiding, Monday, returned a verdict of guilty in the case of John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics Savings Bank, now in the hands of receivers, and fixed his punishment at three years in the penitentiary. His lawyers immediately moved to set aside the verdict on several grounds, argument upon which will be heard by the court on May 15th. Mr. Mitchell was tried on the charge of making a false entry upon the books of the bank, envolving the amount of $19,000. On account of the prominence of John Mitchell, Jr. and his connection with varied interests his case has attracted wide attention throughout the country. As well as being president of the bank he is grand chancellor of the Virginia Knights of Pythias. He has maintained since the closing of the bank by the bank banking department that all the alleged irregularities with which he was charged both in the management of the bank and the Pythian order were legi-gerals, and to indemnify depositors of the bank against any loss he has given a deed of trust secured by real estate valued at $150,000. Charges pending against Albert V. Norrell, cashier of the bank, and other employees, are yet to be tried.

A nomination here is equivalent to an election. * * * (By The Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C—Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the Municipal Court, who was stricken recently, and whose wife was in despair for several days, is some what improved at the time Judge Terrell, a judge of the Municipal Court, ordered four Presidents, has enjoyed the best of health until the last year. Early in the fall Judge Terrell suffered for nearly three weeks with an attack of hiecrows: remembered that the Board of Education for Negroes has been making large gifts to Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Tenn., in connection with the General Education Board, the Carnegie Corporation and the Meharry Alumni, until Meharry is having a new day in the medical work for the medical education of the Negro race. Now the Board of Education for Negroes and the Nesters of Gammon ecological Seminary are turning their attention to the urgent necessity for trained ministers, and are enlarging the capacity of Gammon Theological Seminary for student attendance. In collecting information on the church situation among the colored people, secretary Penn gives out the figures that while there are 4,800,000 Negro communicants in Negro churches of all denominations, there are 2,250,000 Negro Sunday school pupils. In other words there are not half as many Negro Sunday school pupils as there are Negro members of churches. Dr. Penn stated, "This is alarming and shows that while the race is making headway in education, business and home life, as a traveler can SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR 1,000,000 Africans Have Gospel for First Time London, England. — T he English Bible Society of London has just completed publication of the Scriptures in six new African languages making a total of 164 languages of Africa in which the Bible has been printed and distributed to over one million native Africans.

EXODUS ALARMING TO COTTON GROWERS Head of Cotton Growers Association Admits Ku Klux and Lynching Partly Responsible. (Special To Journal and Guide) Washington, D. C. - Southern cotton growers and industries are waking up to the seriousness of the exodus of Negro labor, according to a statement made today by J. S. Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton Growers Association. Mr. Wannamaker said: "We have personal representatives canvassing every section of the cotton belt and they confirm the statement of an accurate report on acreage. We also have representatives in the north to ascertain the truth concerning the migration of labor. As a result of this investigation we find that labor is being drawn from the agricultural centers of America to the industrial centers; however, from no section to a greater extent than from the rural sections of the south. We found in many of these plants they have already employed thousands of Negro laborers and state it as the purpose to employ them in largely increasing numbers. We found that the wages paid these laborers is due twenty times the amount it was possible for them to earn in the cotton fields of the south and their working hours are far shorter and their living conditions far better. "That is the sort of talk that takes the Negro north. He is hunting more money, and he is being employed in capacities never dreamed of ten years ago. The 'bohunk'—the general term for a low type foreigner who used to pour into this country for the pick and shovel job—has been blocked. Somebody must do his work. Negro field hands of the south are going to it." 10 Commandments Bill Defeated (The Associated Negro Press) Jefferson, Missouri—A bill to repeal the State constitution and substitute the Ten commandments in its place has been defeated in the legislature. The Bill's opponents were afraid that the Negro vote could not be handled to advantage by the proposed change. easily see, yet the same progress is not being registered in the church through its principal training agency, the Sunday school. Churches of all denominations with large memberships and youthful constituency have but meager Sunday school enrollment and still meager attendance." There are 37,000 Negro ministers of all kinds in the United States, and it is charged that too many of them take but little interest in seeking out the youth and prevailing upon them and their parents to have them attend Sunday schools. Dr. Penn says that there are but 60,000 students, in 36 theological institutions and departments in the entire country, and that there is not the same effort being put forth to direct the Negro young man to the ministry, that is put forth in the home and public for other professions and vocations. If the Negro youth is seeking everything else and forsakes the fundamentals of progress, which are religion and morality, leadership needs to wake up and change the trend.

Wood said he knew Brown's handwriting and one letter supposed to have been sent him in Norfolk was written by Brown. He said he knew his wife had been intimate with the man for over a year. HURRIED TO -NEW YORK Convinced of his wife's unfaithfulness, Wood said he came home from Virginia and arrived at his home at 9:15 and was let in by a Mr. Henry Potter, who is alleged to be the owner of the apartment. Wood and his wife were lodgers. He went directly to his wife's room and found her in bed. A discussion took place concerning her relationship with Brown.

By doing so jf has won the confidence of @ large lumber of our own people and a num- ber of the best white people of the community. "During the past year we have had addedsto our board of trustees two fery influential white friends and fave the promise of a new building which will add greatly to our work. “je has been very xegretable that we have not as yet been able to se- gure funds with which to accomodate Stew, at least, of the large number of persons who are constantly ap- plying for free care. Many of these [ises are worthy ones, and while we gre amply prepared to give them pro- per medical and surigeal services, we gre without funds to take care of their hospital expenses. We have from time to time appealed to our people for funds for this purpose, but Bs yet there has been no response. We hope the board of trustees may find some means by which this condition nay de brought before our churches, lodges and other organizations and the people in general with a view of helping us to care for these members of our own ace, who are ever and anon calling on vs for aid, It is our thristian duty to help those who are sick and are unable to care for them- selves. 119 Operations Last Year “During the past year we have cared for 148 patients and performed 119 major operations. Our work in ev- ery way has been most successful and we feel proud of the good results obtained. “ft is gratifying that during all these eight years the ‘work has. been accomplished with the most satisfac. tory co-operation from a professional point of view. : THANKS FOR SUPPORT GIVEN V.N. & LI.

To Train Practical Nurses “Our hospital has been selected by the Bureau. of Rehabilitation of the state to train a number of young wo- men as practical nurses and by the State Board. of Health for training practical nurses and midwives for the rural districts, already we have en- tered students nurses for ‘his work. We are practically assured of three free beds for lying-in cases in the next year 30 as to provide teaching material for these students. We hope to have the co-operation of our local people in putting this program into effect. Our delay in accepting stu- dents in larger numbers than we are taking them is due to the lack of room which’ we hope will. be provided in our new building very soon. “These endorsements have come to us wholly unsolicited and is a practi- cal testimony of the splendid work that is being done by our hospital, “During the past year I have had the hospital painted and some repair work done in various parts of the building. All of which I have person- ally paid for. 3 “Our greatest need now is a new building and some adequate method of ublicity. I do not mean advertising, But a method of oping the general public informed of their relationship to the hospital and what the hospi- tal means to the community. Were such institutions capable of making money it would not be hard to get sufficient co-operation to run the hos- pital without appealing to the public at all for aid. Our people need to be educated along the line of supporting their charitable institutions, and onee they are shown the benefits to be de- rived from these institutions I have no doubts that they will give them the needed support, “When everything is considered, the! patrohage of the hospital has been really remarkable. And our thanks goes out to those who have shown their faith in their own people and| who have and are still giving the hospital encouragement and support.

Hampton, Va—The statesman-lik serviee of Dr. Hollis.B.'Frissell, prin cipal of Hampton Institute from 189% to 1917, to education and social prog: ress throughout the South, the Na tion, and the world was graphically described during the fifty-fifth anni versary celebration, just brought to a close, by Dr. Robert R. Moton, prin- cipal of Tuskegee Institute, Andrew Jackson Montague, former governor ‘of Virginia, and Georgé Foster Peu- body, of New York, senior member of the Hampton board of trustees. ‘Mr. Peabody declared that it had been his high privilege to have the “Prissell Memorial Organ” in Ogden Hall built from a fund which had been entrusted to him many years ago by ‘William J. Palmer, a brilliant, far- seeing, trustful Quaker gentleman, who became a general.” Mr. Peabody referred to Doctor Frissell as a man who became in his lifetime a far-see- ing statesman and a great educator iho was known, throughout the world for his understanding of what was needed to make human nature come into its own. This memorial gift was accepted by Dr. James B, Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, who said that or- gan music expressed uniquely the rev- erence and beauty which character- ized the mind, heart, and spirit of Doctor Frisscli. Governor Montague referred to Dr. Frissell’s relation to the renaissance of education in Virginia and to the building of a new civilization. Dr. Moton declared that at Hamp- ton Institute Dr. Frissell rounded out a system of education that took ac- Gount of the whole man and provided for all of his life. He referred to him as, ani apostle of co-operation, a man of faith, courage, and modesty, who taught Negroes to believe in themselves and other men to believe in Negroes. Chandler Goldthwaite, municipal or- ganist of St. Paul, Minn. gave the opening recital on the “Frissell Bfem- orial Organ” and demonstrated, with his brilliant playing, the orchestral possibilities of this organ, which was designed and built by the Skinner Organ Company. Ernest Martin Skinner, “master craftsman and art- ist," declared that this organ was be- ing left among friends. ‘Mr. Peabody ‘presented, on behalé of Arthur Curtiss James, of New York, a porirait of Dr. Moton done by Mx. Ferraris. The Rev. Dr. Henry P. Jones, pas- tor of the St. James A. M. B. Church, Pittsburgh, delivered the formal an- niversary day address on “Hampton's Efficiency.” He said that Dr. Fris- sell believed in the kingdom of God on earth and a present-lay brother- hood. One hundred one candidates for di- plomas and four candidates for the degree of bachelor of science in.agri- cultural education were presented to the Hampton Institute board of trus- tees by Mr. Peabody, in the absence of Chief Justice Taft, chairman: of the Hampton trustees, who was de- tained'in Washington by illness. Mr, Peabody declared that Hamp- ton Institute is a soul and gives to men and women a new consciousness of the meaning of soul. He made a Vigorous plea for the widespread, de velopment of character which will be based on moral courage. Alexander B. Trowbridge, of New York, a Hampton trustee and conduc- tor of the well-known, annual, “Spe- cial Hampton Party,” was elected president of the National Hampton Association, Robert Ogden Purves, field secretary of Hampton, was elec- ted executive secretary. _ Va. Seminary Seniors Produce Drama "Farmville, Va—The Senior Class of Virginia Seminary and College pro- Gueed “A Doll's House” last night at the old opera house, before crowd that packed the lower floor. ‘The per- formance was for the benefit of the First Baptist Church. The drama is an exceedingly strong éne, by the Nor- wegian dramatist, Henrik Ibsen. It treats in Ibsen’s’ characteristic way ‘of some of the evils of modern day society. The leading. role was played by Miss Loretta Henderson, who, as No- ya Helmer, the typical “doll” wife, captivated ‘the entire audience. She performed the difficult feat of remain- Ing on. the stage during practically ‘the entire two and one halt hours of the play, and playing the entire time with a force and an emotion that for an amateur was truly wonderful. |D. ‘4. Jackson as Torvald Helmer, her forceful, domineering husband; Sadie ‘Jackson's Christina Linder, a'schem- ing widow; William Duncan ag Nils Krogstad, the money lender; Ernest Boardley'as Dr. Rank, a prosperous ihysican, and Ethel Boyd and Lottie Bailey a5 nurse and maid, respective- ly, were also far above the ayerage amateurs in their portrayals of their parts, ‘The serious tone of the drama was lightened by the splendid acting of two little children, Roslyn Woods, nine years of age, and Bessie B Drewry, four years old, who wor much favorable comment, “This was the third performance .of this drama, the first two performance: having besh given in Lynchburg.

This is a rare opportunity to learn some things about the beauties and wonders of nature, of which the most of us know so little. We are asking that any books belonging to the Blyden Branch Norfolk Public Library Found will be promptly reported and returned. Many of our valuable books have been removed or borrowed and not returned. These books are the property of the Public Library, and not the personal property of any one. We will be very much indebted to any persons returning the same to us. We take the occasion here to thank the editor of the Journal and Guide for the kind courtesy shown the reading public through the Blyden Branch in the valuable contribution of its paper weekly, also for bring the reports of work of the Branch from time to time to the attention of the public. The paper has been an important factor in helping to bring readers who come for the purpose of scanning its pages. This is the best race paper published anywhere in our section, and second to none anywhere in our country. Those who do not subscribe for it are making a great mistake. We, the Blydon Library would feel a personal loss if the paper did not come. "Long live the Journal and Guide." Foreman Music Co.

MOORE (Gomi From Pe “Ono) his death, Secunep ScHooL INsrecror 19i4—As hag heen already stated, Dr. Moore received his first education inva rural school, He knew the ssood and: the had. features of country schools. He felt that some of these pad features might be overcome by having inspectors visit all the country schools, offer suggestions and see tha they were followed out, So in 1914 he paid the salary of an inspector for the state of North Carolina and start- ed him out, So successful was this work in improving the conditions ‘of the rural schools that the following yenr the work was taken over by the State aml Dr. Moore was made secre- iary-treasurer of the Rural School Extension Department of North, Ca- rolina-‘Teather’s Association. This positian he held until 1922, when on Recount of his physical infirmities he was forced to resign. Succseps JOHN Mewrrox 1918—With the death of John Mer- rick in 1918 Dr, Moore found the presidency of the North Carolina Mus tual falling upon his shoulders. He had always heen of invaluable assis- tance in directing the general affairs of the company. Now, however, he assumed the entire responsibility," He did not sit in his office and send out bulletins, He went to the field him- self and was the bulletin, In fact, the long trip which he took in 1021 to the agencies in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas had much to do with breaking his health and starting him on the down-, a | Became Stare AGENT | 1919—In addition to the numerous duties incumbent upon Dr. Moore, as ‘president of the North Carolina Mu- ual he very willingly accepted to help in the war emergency and accepted an appointment as Special Agent and Supervisor of Negro Economics in the state of North Carolina. in this capacity he was most influential in securing openings for Negro labor during the war and help for colored farmers. * Great CuurcH WorKER All of these activities were entirely separate from the part Dr, Moore took in his church; which would be consid- ered by some men a life’s work, in itself, He was one of the pillows in the White Rock Baptist Church. For more than twenty-five years he serv~ ed as superintendent of the Sunday school at White Rock. In recogni- tion of his devoted services he was’ made superintendent for life. His| keen interest in Sunday school work | resulted in his being elected president of the Baptist Sunday School Con-| vention. In addition he-was secretary of the Haitian work for the Lott Ca- rey Foreign Missionary Convention. In order to secure first hand know- ledge of his duties he took a trip to Haiti at his own expense. He was al-| so chairman of the Deacon Board of White Rock Baptist Church. This in- terest in his church did not keep him from seeing the needs of young men of Durham. It was a successful un- dertaking as were all of Dr. Moore’s activities, When, however, the build-_ ing-in which the’ Association was lo- cated burned, Dr. Moore did not have the physical ‘strength to raise money for the erection of another place and no one else understoad this work. ‘Truster OF SHAW Shaw University, was another of Dr. Moore's interests, For ten years he has been president of the Board of Trustees and for a greater num- ber of years he was one of the larg- est individual donors to that institu- tion, ‘This brings to mind the great philanthropie ‘work carried on by Dr. Moore.

THE elegantly dressed white youth that confronted John when the latter emerged from the inner office was no other than Philip Breckenridge, Jr., youngest son of Philip Breckenridge, Sr., the wealthy banker of Salem, and John's Supposed father. On seeing Philip visons of the happy boyhood hours both had together back in Salem instantly arose in John's mind. Remembrances of the watermelon raids they had made, and their hours of stolen companionship came crowding back into his mind. He remembered how he and Philip had been inseparable companions, until one never-to-be-forgotten afternoon when he was abruptly stopped by Philip's mother as he was about to pass through the door of the great house on the hill, as he had done ever so many times before, and asked where he was going in such a tone that made him instinctively feel that he would be welcome no longer in the rich home. The incident had burned itself deep into his sensitive soul. Philip had been warned to stay away from him but in spite of the warning had escaped that very afternoon to look for him, and thereafter both used to meet in the woods under a rocky ledge to play and to read detective tales. This halcyon companionship had continued, not without interruption, until Philip had been sent to a preparatory school in Atlanta. After this they had met from time to time but Philip's demeanor had changed somewhat and the bond was weakened. Now on seeing Philip again all the bitter memories had faded leaving only the sweet. Forgetting color, wealth, everything, but the joy of seeing an old chum, and a fellow townmen—the first he had seen since he elered this new exciting environment—he had sprung instinctively to greet Now at the look on the other's face the welcome faded out of his eyes, and his hand dropped slowly to his side. He became painfully conscious of his suit, shabby hat, worn shoes, and countrified appearance in contrast to the well-tailored brown suit, the fashionable collar and the tie, and the elegant appearance of Philip. He stammered: "Howdy, Phi—Mr. Breckenridge." The other bowed almost imperceptibly. "What're you doing here," he demanded brusely, "I'm studying." Muttering an oath Philip Breckenridge left him abruptly and strode toward the desk." "When did he get here?" he asked the clerk angrily, pointing at John's retreating figure. "Today. He's the winner of the Arnold scholarship." "The h—he is," he said, savagely.

Instinctively he saw that he would have a strong rival—a stiff classmate to work against. The idea of having to compete with a Negro was most repulsive to him and demanding to see the registrar he asked to be put into another class. "It's too late now," said that official. CHAPTER VII. John Walton's first task was to secure employment for his spare hours. The $300 scholarship fund, he decided, was to go to the support of his mother and her aged father. On applying to the clerk in charge of employment he was directed to the bulletin board. There he saw a good many positions listed—bus boys, clerks, handy men. Seeing one that offered two meals a day for one hour's work at noon clearing soiled dishes he applied for it, and was given a card to the manager of the restaurant. A single glance at him, however, and the flustered manager stammeringly told him that the place had already been filled. On seeing his disappointed face, she added sweetly: "I'll take your name and let you know when there's a vacancy." Back at the university John returned the card to the clerk. "The job is filled," he said. "That's strange," was the reply, "They wanted four. There must be some mistake." She called up the restaurant and after a brief conversation with the manager said to John: "I'll get you something else." Several days later John saw the same job on the board, and overheard two of his white classmates inducing a third to go to work with them at the restaurant. MODEL CITY LODGE, NO. 305 I. B. P. O.

"I can mix with white people up here, and yet I can't get me a job taking out dirty dishes. Neither of these would have happened down south." The next day, however, he was called to the office and offered a position in a private family. In exchange for tending the furnace and doing odd jobs about the house he would receive room and board. He accepted readily and with the problem of living off his mind he buckled down to his studies working at least eighteen hours a day. One evening a few weeks later he was briskly sweeping the last of the autumn leaves from the side walk when he saw Philip drive by in his new car. He had felt angry with himself for having given Philip the occasion to snub him, and now the thought returned to torment him at sight of him. Finally he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I should have known better, but after all wasn't I acting as a real human should." As he saw the shining new car of the other and thought of his own strained circumstances he said to himself: "How lucky he is. Just think if I had his leisure and could devote all my time to my studies!" He went on to reflect on the great hardships he had encountered to get his scholarship and one of my brightest stu-been all paved for him from birth. "How unequal life is," he mused. "Some have everything and others nothing. Well, there's no use crying over it. The only way I can see to change it is to work hard. Did I say I had nothing? I'm dead wrong. I have the will to win and I am going to show 'em." He continued with decision: "I'm going to beat Phil. See if I don't." And he started to conjugate a French verb in his mind for the morrow's lesson. Philip drew up his automobile at the sidewalk to speak to a couple who was approaching. As John advanced sweeping briskly he saw that the pair was Prof. Wellington Bruce and his wife. Prof. Bruce was his geology instructor. They were coming in his direction. "Hello, Mr. Walton," greeted Prof. Bruce as he came up. Then turning to his wife he said, "this is John Walton, the winner of the Arnold scholarship and one of by brightest students." "Good evening, Mr. Walton, Mr. Bruce has told me of you many times," she said as she went on to congratulate him of his success. John shook the extended hand warmly. He felt a strange, indefinable restraint in her greeting, however. She was cordial to be sure but he had detected a sad look, a tremor of alarm, as it were, suddenly sweep over her face on meeting him. John had no time to analyze the strange look in Mrs. Bruce's face for her husband continued: "I was just coming to see you. Miss Williams at the office has told me that you wanted more work. Is that so?" "Yes sir. I'm working here with Mrs. Stewart for my room and board, but I need a little spending money." "Well, Mrs. Bruce needs some one to help her as little, cleaning the porches, sweeping the sidewalk and making the fire in the morning. It won't take more than an hour or so a day. Do you think you'd like it?" "I'd be delighted." "Mrs. Bruce will give you $5 a week and pay you extra for cleaning the windows. There's our house just two doors down. No. 372," he added, pointing to a neat wooden house with a porch, on the same side of the street. "Thank you, sir." "You can start tonight. Sweep off our sidewalk when you're finished, if you've time." Again John noticed the same queer look that puzzled him. And thus he accepted a job, which could he have seen into the future, he would have avoided as the plague. CHAPTER IX. Considerably cheered with the prospect of the five dollars, and the thot of the new suit he would soon be able to buy, John buckled down to his work again sweeping off the walk with rapid strokes right and left, oblivious of everything else. Presently he started as he felt the broom strike something, and saw a lady's handbag fall to the grass. Looking quickly up he saw a colored girl. She had come noisely upon him, and had been trying to pass. John stood transfixed for a moment as he found himself looking into the eyes of the most charming girl he had ever seen. Quickly recovering, however, he picked up the bag, dusted it off and said as he returned it to her with a bow: "I apologize for having monopolized the sidewalk. I hope I didn't soil your dress." "We'll let you off this time," said the fair one, with an engaging smile, brushing off her dress. John found her voice as charming as her face and figure. Then he realized for the first time that there was another girl present. The ladies started to walk on. John felt a great impulse to detain them. He tried hard to find something that would start a conversation but for the life of him he could not. When he did they had gone too far. He continued to gaze at the retreating figures. Never before had he met a girl who appealed as strongly to him. He hoped that she would at least look back but she did not. The other one did, however. He had been so busy that he had not been able to look up the colored people in the town. Now he resolved to do so. He would find that girl again. The next day he described the ladies to two colored fellow students but received no satisfactory clue. The next Saturday evening, science book in hand, studying as he went, he walked down to the little town, a mile Standard Reference on all matters relating to the Negro most extensively used Compendium information on this subject.

Coming to a Negro barber shop he saw a man standing outside. After introducing himself, he began to ask about the colored population. "Many colored people in this town?" "Oh, about seventy-five, perhaps a hundred." "So many. I have seen only two so far," and he went on to describe the girl, whose identity he was trying to learn. "Rather tall—about to my chin—light brown, pretty skin, nice even teeth, "well built." He felt like adding, "and a smile like Heaven." "Oh, that must be Lucille Page. She works in Madame Jean's beauty parlor on Maple avenue." "Lucille!" murmured John, as thanking, his informer he wandered off to find Maple avenue.

T'was in my bed asleep and a mob of white men came to my -house and started shooting and why they did that I don’t know. They never said hello or anything and they broke the hack door open. My wife and chil- dren were taken, both—and my wife and children began screaming and yelling and my wife was holding the front door and one of the children. One woke me up. They were shoot- ing in the house and I asked ‘them, what the matter was and they said to me, there is a crowd out there after you. Iran to the back door and they Shot at me and I ran behind the bed and got my pistol and I shot 2 (shots) out of the door. But I did not hit anybody. When they stopped shoot- ing they ran to the woods and stayed there a quarter of an hour and I heard them coming mack. “They called my wife ‘and asked her, hadn't they killed me and. she told them, no; he has just left here and they ‘went behind the house and looked in the alley. And they found one of their men dead and they said, T thought that I had killed the Nig- ger; T shot the wrong man. My wife told the hext morning (what had been suid) and they beat her and put her in jail and kept her there three months. ‘They told her if she told what they said, they would kill her. Accusen OF Kituinc “That morning they run them all away from home and beat'them all and the little .baby was erylng for bread and they knocked a hole in my baby’s head with a pistol. They stay- ed there and ate my food for two weeks. They left their automobile and slept there. They got there at 11 o'clock at night. If they had call- ed me 1 would have gone anywhere they wanted me to. Because I have never done anything to anybody. My pistol was a 32 (calibre) and the man was killed with a 38, You see that there was no way for me to kill that man and the paper stated that he was killed with a 38 calibre. ‘They ¢ame over here to the state peniten- tiary three times trying to make me tell ‘them who done the killing. -‘They are now punishing me for it and know they punish me for what one of their own men done. They said I shot him through the crack and there was no crack in my house. I asked the law- yer to go to my house and look be- cause there is no crack in my house. “They whipped all the colored peo- ple so that they all are seared to do anything to help me, T had about 200 acres of land and I only tended to 3 horse farm for myself and I worked a5 horse farm for the white folks and let the best of my land lay out.

They took all that I had ever to my houschold and kitchen furniture and they took my clothes, and my wife's clothes and all the chickens and my_gun out of my house. They took 150 chickens; Jt hows; 5 turkeys: G geese; 150 sal ions of syrup; 15 bushel of’ peanuts; ail of my sweet potatoes, about 25 or 80 bushel and about 20 bushel of eas. They took my gold wateh, value $90, and my wife's watch value $60, and the xirl’s watch, worth $35 and $65 in cash and a car worth $700, * 7 * ‘The whole value is about $8,000.

A band of men gathered at his house and someone called that the sheriff was there with a warrant, which was untrue, accord- ing to the Supreme Court’s review. The sentence of death was held un- justified becuuse the man was fleeing out of fear and not to escape arrest.

GOLDEN TEXT - fear, fear the Lord, and serve him with truth in your heart; for consider how great things he hath done for you. The Integrity of Samuel's Administration-Ve. 1-5. "Samuel is remembered in Isalitiah history as prophet, reformer, judge, man of prayer, and king of Israel, among our leaders. We wish that we know more about his active years, but if we compare the condition of the Isalitians in Els' days with their condition when, strong in their belief in the Lord they overthrew the Phillisite yoke we shall realize how great a man he was and how great a great prophet. Perhaps if we, knew more of his history we should go further and declare him to be the second founder of true religion among the Isalitites." Samuel as the last representative of the theocracy addressed to all assembled at Mispel. The old prince granted by God's permission and command Israel's request-appointed a king to rule over the people. The people testified that Samuel was a just judge he had not oppressed or defended the people neither in the tribe nor in any of his dealings with the people. The venerable judge, in resigning his magistral authority, challenged the most minute inquiry in to every act of his administration. History scarcely any where presents a more striking example of the moral巩华". And he said unto them, The Lord is witness against thee, that ye have not found caught in my hand. And they answered, He is witness. V. 5. There was done of Tennison in his Ode on the Duke of Wellington apply to serve, the True Patriot: The Statesman-warrior, moderate, resolute, Whole in himself a common good; Great in council and great in War. President captain of his time. 0 good gray head which all men knew, 0 voice from which their all men all men drew, 0 iron nerve to true occasion truel 0 iron nerve to Unwering Loyalty to God. Va. 20.23. "The point upon which Samuel insulate me to be this: whatever form of government you have, judge or king, you cannot do without Jehovah. You how is not in the same hands as him. You have not in the same hands and may have been you may have him. Now the two considerations behagging to this old time, pertinent to our own are: (1) You cannot do without God, whatever ability, organization, wealth; what you have in your work in the way of aparasus ad machinery, you cannot do without him. The great danger of Israel now was that she should trust entirely in her hands. The great danger of Israel now was the great danger in machinery or in man. And the other thing is (2) That we may have God: he does not forsake we men who forsake him. It is our one and only hue that he clauses to us, in our wilful controlling hand." (Charles Brown). Samuel admonishes Israel to fear God and to serve him with all the heart; and turn aside from following the Lost. The proverb should be from God: (1) to be should be loyal to God: (1) to serve idols (in things) was unprofitable: (2) God would forsake his people: (3) God had already sent his people to be locked up; God would destroy Israel and her king. Make no delay in the choice of God; give him up to talent, whole and fresh to be life-long to his service. Dr. Bushnell. Samuel was an unselfless leader. That he was deeply concerned about the welfare of Israel is evidenced from verse 23 he would be prostrate to prey on people and to leash them to right their feet. Samuel would not withdraw himself from his case for Israel's future. There remained in him the two greatest weapons for moral deception and teaching. The one point she made was that she was his other faith. Such are a prophet's weapons, and her minister than a king's sceptre or a warrior's sword. - Fraser. Samuel's sphere was not that of a warrior, of a spokesman for God. The more important role she played was all to him, especially in his noble unselflessness and humility, in his devotion to the highest interests of his people and in his loyalty to Israel. Prof. George L. Robinson. BRIGGSGOSH SMITH His strength is the substance to his poor, his sympathy to the oppressed, his heart to God. V. 4. So live that your life will stand an in vestition. Then hands and a pure heart are the external requisites of a good judge. The whole of religion is to fear God and to right. GRACE P. F. CHURCH Bishop P. E.

CHURCH a sermon that was thoughtful and applicable to the needs of every day life as touching the christian wayfarer was delivered by the pastor of Bank St. Church Sunday ing. Rev. Long prescribes a subject. "The Call of Christ Endease" from Ecclesiastics from the chapter 11 verse: Cast thy heart upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days. After dwelling briefly on the custom of the ancient inhabitants of the valley of the Nile who sowed seed while the waters of the river ran high and overflowed the surrounding land, which must have been foolish to those unacquainted day with the nature of a soil imminently fertile, and who would possibly have kept back their grain and ground it insofar as reaping the plentiful harvest was warranted the sowers. The pastor's presentation showed what an immense burden must accrue to us if we but bread upon the waters of dispelling of ignorance and upon the waters of destroying vice and sin that the mind may be aroused to their possibility and to the giving of real light in the realm of religion. Despite the rainy weather a large congregation sermon. tion listed by Atty. Diges will teach the Young Atty. Bible Class of Bank Street Sunday School, next Sunday morning May 5th.

Dear Brethren: The Virginia Baptist State Convention will hold its fifty-sixth annual session with the First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., Rev. A., L. James, D. D., pastor, Wednesday, May 9th, through the 13th, 1923. Through fifty-six years of glorious struggle we have hardened, climbing towards the goal of righteous achievement to which our Blessed Christ is calling us, and on our arrival in Roanoke, when the brethren from five hundred different points on the great field of conflict shall assemble with hearts burning with the spirit of gratitude and service, our God be there, myriads of heavenly hosts, being on, and a thousand immortal hearts attending and checking up our reports. We will afford to be absent? I tell you it will be little short of a calamity to miss it. Great messages will be delivered by such eminent pulpitteers as the Rev. C. T. Murray, A. B. Rev. C. P. Madison, D. D., Rev. C. L. Wells, and Dr. A. A. Galvin. Addresses will be delivered by such men of mark as Drs. W. Brown and G. H. Simms of New York, F. G. Graham, W. B. Reed, J. E. East, J. E. R. Powell and the matchless J. E. Oustin of Penna, and from Va., such men of affairs as Mr. B. L. Jordan, the secretary-treasurer of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Geo. E. Moore, M. D., Rev. M. L. Gordon, of Staunton; Mr. Watkins Thompson, of Danville, and others whom we cannot here mention. Every church and district organization, every big hearted Baptist, should be there; not some time during the session; but at the opening hour, the first chorus of thanksgiving and recension which welcome the great hearts of Roanoke hold in reserve for us. I take this method of thanking you for the kind and very hearty support you have given me during the five years I have had the honor to be your president. However feeble the efforts, I have done my best under the circumstances to add something worth more to our heritage which we are to leave our children. We have ought to make the work of His kingdom go, spread His gospel and build a great Christian institution of learning which shall stand in the shadows of the eternal, and spread its light far and wide. The further we go the greater the work, and thus the greater the need of more moral and financial support. Brethren who are forward, don't give less but more each year until his work is done and His Kingdom is come. We are asking you for $2,000 as your contribution towards the support of our great school at Lynchburg and Christian Missions this year. And when you consider how little this is for each member of your church, I am sure you will say we cannot afford to give less than our president is asking of us, for the amount per member is too small and the needs of our Lord's work are too great. If you cannot possibly send a delegate, mail your contribution to our organizing secretary, Rev. M. C. Allen, A. B. Alhogar, Va. Pray for a great success and meet us at the First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., Wednesday, May 9th, at 9 a.m. Memorial service will be held on Tuesday night the 8th, at 8:00 o'clock to the memory of Doctors Nelson Jordan, B. S. Nowlan, Harvey Johnson, W. G. Parks, A. R. Robinson and E. C. Morris. Don't fail to be present to do homage to the worth of these immortals. Yours for a great Convention, T. J. KING, President. Miller preached two interesting sermons Sunday. For his morning topic he talked from Psalm 100: 1. "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, the word of picture of how the Lord can use the people to a better advantage when they praise him with gladness. The pastor requests that every member be present next Sunday and that he know when it will be known as 'Friend's Day.'" Local Merchants Invite Your Trade CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.

By comparative scores, Union's chances of defeating V. N. and 1. 1. in the runners-up Saturday should be s<ood. Hampton defeated V. N. and I. I., 6-1, and Union beat Hampton 8-3. Three remaining games are to be played. Merritt had 15 strikeouts to his credit and his bat sided in the victory by smashing out a timely triple. lis team-mate, Mask, also connected, with the pill for a triple and a single. Gunn, of Hampton, hit for three bases for his team. Hampton was held scoreless for the first seven innings, but staged a be- lated rally in the eighth which netted them 3 runs. The game was called in the 8th on account of darkness. Juck- son, the blue and white shortstop, sur- prised the visitors by making a sen- sational. catch of a liner at a critical point in the game.
